Chapter 5: The Legendary Transformation
The clock marked 5:00am and Diego was already awake but it was because he didn't sleep all night thinking about the infinite possibilities of how everything will go. If it will go as how it went on the anime or will there be major or minor differences because of his presence "I hope whatever my presence doesn't affect much the plot or causes any unnecessary death." thought Diego.
He then go up from bed and got into his training Gi that looked very similar to the one Goku wore "I will ask Piccolo if he can give me a heavier under shirt, pair of boots and wristbands. That will make me improve big time for sure." Diego said as he opened the door to go to the living room where Gohan was waiting for him already wearing the purple Gi similar to the one Piccolo wore "You ready to go?" Diego asked Gohan "I've been ready. Are you?" responded and asked back Gohan "More than ever. Lets go." said Diego as they both went outside and soon took off to The Lookout.
The sun was already out in the horizon from The Lookout. Piccolo and Dende where waiting for the demi-saiyans to arrive. Five minutes later, they could sense them very close by "They are getting close." said Dende "Yeah. I'm only curious to what the new guy has to say about this threat he told us about." said Piccolo with arms crossed.
Diego and Gohan came in view and then landed near the edge of the floating temple and walked to to where Piccolo and Dende where standing
"Good Morning Mr. Piccolo, Dende." said Gohan
"Good Morning everyone." waved Diego
"Good Morning Gohan and Diego." responded Dende
"Diego, why don't you follow me and Dende to the temple and tell us everything you know, like you promised." Piccolo said "Okay, I will tell you everything I know." he said following both Namekians into the temple and to a room where it was mildly decorated with a simple couch, a chair and table with a vase on top of the table "Please take a seat." offered Dende so Diego took a sit on the single chair while Dende took a sit on the couch and Piccolo stood behind the couch with his arms crossed (like always) "So tell us, what do you know about this threat you speak of?" asked Piccolo
"Well, I remember you saying that my presence was different when I got here and converted to a Saiyan presence right?" Piccolo simply nodded "I believe that the reason my presence felt like that is because it might of still have residues of the inter-dimensional jump that brought me here." Diego said looking down at his hands opening and closing them "So you are not from this dimension huh? And what caused that dimensional jump you speak of?" Piccolo asked
"That's the thing. I still don't know how it happened. All I can remember is that I was on a field practicing my favorite sport when the sky suddenly darken itself followed by thunderstorm. I first I thought it was just a bad storm coming and as I was walking to my car a lighting struck in the middle of the field and it blew me away, when I got up I saw a crater. Curiosity got the best of me so I decided to check it out and at first I couldn't believe what I was looking at but in the middle of the crater was the Four Star dragon ball." he said
Dende looked at Piccolo who just shifted his eyes to look at Dende and then looked back at Diego "That doesn't explain how do you know about this threat you keep talking about." Piccolo said in a more serious tone.
Diego looked up at Piccolo and simply smiled "Don't worry I am getting to that." said Diego and he continued "So, you might be asking why was there a dragon ball in a different dimension. You might also be thinking that in my dimension there could be dragon balls as well with the multi-verse theory but that's not the case because, in my universe, in my world. This entire universe is a simple Japanese TV show."
Piccolo and Dende where equally shocked to what the half-saiyan from another universe just said. Piccolo looked at him "So, you mean to tell us that this world and as well with the events that have transpired in the last couple of years, were just a mean of entertainment for you?" said Piccolo with a very calm reaction that surprised Diego which didn't expect the way Piccolo reacted to it "I kinda thought you were going to react differently there, Piccolo. It surprises me how are you taking on thus news." said Diego
"In this place, anything is possible. And just like you said, with the theory of the multi-verse to back that up makes it more credible." responded Piccolo "Uh-huh. Anyways, in my world the show ended 17 years ago meaning that whats going to happen from here, I already know it." explained Diego "This reminds me of the time when Trunks came from the future to warn us about the androids and things went a little bit different than what he expected. Your presence here will definitely affect the events the way you already know them. So don't keep thinking things will go as you know. Prepare for the worst but your knowledge can still become in-handy with what will happen at the tournament." said Piccolo giving him a mere smirk
Diego noted the acceptance of Piccolo and as well of Dende which made him feel a lot better "Thanks for listening and be understanding on what I just said." Diego said as he stood up from the chair and bowed to them in show of respect "Now, I will like to start my training in the chamber right now and be ready for what's coming." Diego said "I advise for you to do the same Piccolo. We will need all the help we can get." said Diego with a serious tone
"I have only 24 more hours to go." said Piccolo "Don't use them just yet, you will need them later on. Trust me." Diego smiled at that "Come on, I will take you to where the room is. I'm pretty sure Gohan is waiting for you in there." said Dende as Diego followed him.
They came to a stop "Here it is." said Dende pointing at the wooden door that separated both dimension. Diego stared at the door in such amazement "I've always wanted to know what the inside of the chamber looked with my very own two eyes and here I am, standing right in front of it..."
Diego felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to his right to see it was Gohan's "Are you ready?" Gohan asked him. Diego's eyes had a look of sheer determination that spoke by themselves "Lets go." said Gohan as Mr. Popo opened the door to let them in. The light was so bright that Diego had to cover his eyes for a moment as they walked in and the door closed behind them meaning that their one year training just started.
Diego then opened his eyes to see the 'infinite' white void "My God this place looks amazing. I mean, there is literally nothing besides this room but it still amazing." said Diego as he walked up to the edge of the room and stepped outside of it and quickly he felt the gravity pulling him down and got on his knee "I knew that the room had a 10x the gravity of Earth but I never thought this is how it will feel this heavy." said Diego putting out some power to be able to stand up straight
"That's right, you haven't trained in any sort of gravity room before. Don't worry, you are as powerful me if not a little bit more when I first trained here." said Gohan
Diego kept struggling but not as much anymore and was able to walk around with no problem while he was concentrated "Well, not for long. Say, what do you say if we spar for a bit huh?" asked Diego getting in a fighting stance "Sounds fun." responded Gohan dropping into a fighting stance as well.
They stared at each other for almost a whole minute before they disappeared followed by thunderous claps that were heard from the punches and kicks being blocked on each side. They came back to view , Diego threw a left hook but Gohan saw it coming and quickly blocked it with his forearm.
Gohan used the momentum of Diego's punch and kicked Diego on the chest pushing him a few feet away. Diego recovered and then smirked because the Saiyan blood in him was burning with excitement at the challenge of fighting someone far superior to him.
Diego then charged back at Gohan cocking his right fist and releasing it on Gohan's jab but it went through the Afterimage "Afterimage huh? You are lucky you are faster than me on that one." said Diego turning around blocking Gohan's kick "I have some tricks up my sleeve." thought Diego
Diego and Gohan landed back to ground. Diego drop into a power up stance "I will go out now!" said Diego as he started to power up to his maximum "AAAHHHHHHHH!" Diego yelled as his aura came to life and his power skyrocketed "Oh wow, I didn't know Diego had this much power." thought Gohan in much surprise.
Diego stopped powering up and now having his power to the maximum. Diego looked at Gohan and then smirked as he moved faster than Gohan anticipated and elbowed him on the chest catching Gohan off guard. Diego followed Gohan's flight path and appeared between Gohan and the ground as he double kicked him on the stomach sending him flying up in the air
Diego then appeared ahead of Gohan and hit him with a double axe sending Gohan soaring down to the ground but Gohan managed to catch himself before hitting the ground "How was that for starters huh?" shouted Diego
Gohan looked up "That was good!" shouted Gohan "But now is my turn!" said Gohan as he disappeared. It was too fast for Diego, he sensed Gohan behind him but sensed him a second too late as Gohan planted his fist on Diego's left cheek and sent him flying.
Gohan intercepted him by kicking him down to the ground but before Diego hit the ground Gohan was already waiting for him ready to unleash a barrage of punches but in the last second Diego disappeared from sight "Huh?" wondered Gohan where he could of gone when he suddenly was kicked on his back.
Diego stood there gasping for air as he was getting exhausted already from the fight and withstanding the gravity of the room to which he wasn't accustomed to yet "How did you moved so fast? I didn't sense you until the last second." said Gohan as he got up "Easy. Instant Transmission." responded Diego with a smirk "How did you learned Instant Transmission?" asked Gohan "I have watched every technique so I just need to practice them. That was a test run for the Instant Transmission and it works perfect." said Diego "I will also put another one to the test and see what's up." said Diego as he dropped to the most familiar stance to Gohan and every one else. Diego put both his hands next to his hip
"KA-ME..." a blue orb started to form on Diego's hands
"HA-ME..." Diego started to put more energy into the attack and the orb grew to the size of a soccer ball. Gohan quickly powered up to the maximum of his base form "I don't know where he got this much power from but it sure is a lot!" thought Gohan
Diego grinned before disappearing and appeared some distance behind Gohan "This is the same technique my dad used on Cell!" Gohan put his arms in a shape on an 'X' in front of him as Diego released the powerful wave
"HAAAAAA...!" Diego shouted as he released the famous and powerful wave hitting Gohan. The light was so intense that Diego had one eye closed and the other one slightly open. Diego let go of the powerful wave and let his arms rest besides him heavily panting from the exhaustion he had after putting all he had on the attack "How...did you...like that...Warp Kamehameha?" asked Diego with a grin.
The smoke was dissipating and Diego could see Gohan's figure but something was different. The smoke completely faded and Gohan's Gi was scratched and burnt in some areas and he also noticed that he was on his Super Saiyan transformation. Gohan looked up at Diego with a smirk "Not bad at all. You made me have to transform in the middle of the Kamehameha, if I hadn't transform I would have been badly hurt." said Gohan as he went back to his normal form and stoop straight up
"That was a powerful Kamehameha you just did." complimented Gohan. Diego was sitting on the white ground resting a little bit "Thanks. That took out a lot of me tho." responded Diego "You do know most of our attacks huh?" said Gohan walking to where Diego sat "Yeah. But I just know the concept of them and not the actual attack itself but I can practice them. We have plenty of time in here anyways." said Diego as Gohan offered his hand and helped to get up "Lets get washed up and rest a bit, we can resume our training later." said Diego as they both started to go back to the temple.
It had been more than a month since both Diego and Gohan entered the Room of Time and Spirit. Diego sat his his legs crossed and each hand on his knees as he meditated half a mile away from the room "I gotta achieve the Super Saiyan transformation fast. I know that the power comes as a need and not a desire. I also know that the transformation is triggered by emotions." thought Diego as he dig dip down in his mind and heart for all the emotion that was welded up within him.
Anger and sadness where the emotions that prevailed the most. He had a lot of anger withing him about many events in the past, about people that always looked down on him, of people that told him the he will never make it in life and be a failure. He used all that anger to help trigger his transformation.
Gohan was throwing a set of punches and kicks in the air while performing flips in the air as he intensely trained by himself as Diego requested to meditate. He suddenly stopped as he felt a power skyrocketing "W-What is this power?! Is Diego generating this much power?" said Gohan looking over the direction where Diego was meditating
Diego then heard on the voices of the people that told him that he was going to fail in life, heavily laugh. Diego's face turned into one of pure rage, his long hair started to wail up in the air, veins popped over his forehead, he tighten his teeth. Suddenly he shot his eyes open as they took a teal coloration, his hair flashed from black to gold
Gohan flew just a short and safe distant from where Diego sat "That's an incredible power..." said Gohan in awe as he saw Diego finally achieving the legendary transformation
He was still sitting on the ground, hands balled into fists and with powerful scream he let the rage take over "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!" he finally did. He finally achieved the legendary transformation. His golden aura danced like a raging fire around him. His hair spiked up even tho being tied up in a pony-tail. He stood up, looking at his hands slowly moved his fingers feeling all the power running through veins. He had a hard and serious look on his face but slowly it turned into one of excitement
"I did it...I finally did it...I achieved the Super Saiyan transformation." Diego kept looking at his hands "This is unreal." he quietly said "Many people I know back home would kill to feel the way I'm feeling right now."
Gohan flew to where Diego stood "Oi, seems you finally did it. You finally transformed." said Gohan putting a hand on Diego's shoulder as he looked at Gohan and smiled "I did it." he said before he lost consciousness and losing the Super Saiyan state. Gohan quickly got a hold of Diego before he hit the ground "He put out to much power that he couldn't hold it long. Just the same when I turned Super Saiyan as well. Better take him to the room and let him rest. " said Gohan carrying Diego on his shoulder and flew to the room and laid him on his bed.
