Chapter 3:
First Assignment
These are the memoirs of the zone cop Speed the Hedgehog
…
"I want you to go to these coordinates for your first assignment," said Zonic.
"Wait but these are…"
"I don't care we need to make sure things go the way they are supposed to, because if the main villain succeeds, there will be no way to stop him from going to other zones and taking them over, just make sure you activate the cloaking device on your ship and the holo-belt before being seen."
"Alright, but I wish I could have trained more before going to this particular zone."
As I reluctantly punched the coordinates into the ship and created what I now properly called the zone generator, I knew this was going to be one of my hardest assignments ever. Why did this have to be my first zone to fix, I mean the heroes of this zone are strong enough as it is why would they need me? I thought to myself as I was traveling through the rift. According to the coordinates I was heading to zone 237, which was the zone of Dragon Ball Z, not only that but the time was smack in the middle of the Frieza saga. Upon entering the zone I landed my ship on a secluded island and activated the cloaking mechanism, and then activated the holo-belt and looked in the mirror. I had to admit Zonic did do a good job on the belt; however, my hair was originally brown instead of red, oh well. Job one was to find Goku of course and since I couldn't sense power levels yet I had to rely on my newfound speed to do it.
…
I had to be sure not to run into any Namekians or Frieza's men, unfortunately things did not go as planned. I ran into four of his lesser henchmen trying to get some information on the Dragon Balls, fortunately, according to Zonic I could technically save them. I quickly used my speed to stop the henchman that was choking one of the Nameks.
"And just who are you, one of those Earthlings I keep hearing about?" the henchman asked.
"Yeah let's go with that."
"Quick check his power level and see what he's got." The second henchman said.
"I guess all he has is speed his power level is only fifty," said the third henchman.
"Let me take him out I haven't done anything all day," said the fourth.
"It's time to see if these shields work on live targets," I said as I activated the flame shield.
"Wait his power level it…it's rising!"
It didn't take much to knock all four of them out at once, by setting the ground around them ablaze and by creating a small tornado they suffocated and passed out, I of course will never be a killer. Then I had to get out of there fast I couldn't let the Namekians find, much less thank me after that. I left three of the henchmen there and took one for questioning.
"You said there were others like me where are they?"
"I'm not telling you anything!"
"Fine have it your way then."
I then turned the holo-belt off, I was in a hurry and needed answers then and there, and since the physical particles of the holographic projector hinders this ability it needed to be turned off.
"What are you?"
"Let's just say I'm helping the Earthlings. Now are you still refusing to give me any information?"
"I serve Frieza to the death."
"Fine."
With him still restrained I grabbed his head and placed it to mine and began to read his thoughts, although he did very well at hiding what he knew, I just had to peel back his mind further and further. There were some putrid and disgusting things in there, but I found what I needed.
"What?! The Ginyu Force is here already?"
"Yeah and there's not a thing you can do to stop them."
Now I knew where they were, so Zonic brought me at this period…
"If you don't let me go I'll kill you!!"
"Fine, go tell Frieza that he has more to fear than just the Earthlings, but you'll have to crawl there."
With that I broke both his legs, placed him far away from where I was going, and turned on the homing beacon in his scouter. Frieza would probably find him either believe him or kill him for producing lies, or both; but that was not my concern now, I knew what would happen if I couldn't find Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta in time. Out of nowhere was a huge blast and now I knew where to go man I hope I'm not too late.
"Would you hurry up and destroy the kid already?"
"Yeah we're getting bored here Reccoome!"
"Hey leave the kid alone!" I yelled just barely making it.
"Someone new wants to play with Reccoome? Fine I accept."
I was not sure about this one; Reccoome was a main villain not a henchman or a minion, but I couldn't let the others die, even if they didn't know me yet. Saving someone is more important than the rules I thought, and I just have to hold out until Goku shows up, which shouldn't be more than five minutes anyway, and since I can't do beam attacks yet, all I can do is ram him at top speed, man this is going to hurt. A half mile should give me enough room to break the sound barrier and hopefully stop him until Goku shows up, I started backing up.
"Look at him, he's running away."
Just a little bit further…
"What kind of hero saves someone, and runs off what a coward."
…and now, just keep running and don't stop…
"Oh look he's coming back, wow, he's moving pretty fast."
…there went the sound barrier…
"Wait, I don't think he's going to stop!"
…time to brace for impact…
"Hey you're crazy," said Reccoome as we made contact.
"At least I don't beat up little children."
Amazing I was completely out of energy, but he was still getting back up, but fortunately Goku's ship landed and he appeared, he even tried to give me a sensu bean, but I declined considering the problems that would happen if I accepted. Later on I explained who I was and why I was there, and what might happen if I didn't do my job correctly. I stayed in this zone through what was called the Cell Saga, picked up some new moves along the way, but I did have to leave, there were other zones in need of my assistance. Back on Mobius, Robotnik was beginning the plans for his Ultimate Annihilator.
