Dragon Ball GX, Side Story: The Alchemic Saiyan
Chapter 6: The Three Years Part 2: Training Complete
3 years later
Edward Elric
It had been a grueling three years; days and days on end, with nothing but meditation, and then practice with my new powers.
However, Adam was right, after 3 years-I didn't recognize myself!
I had grown from a puny 4 foot 11, to 6 foot 4, my muscles looked like Major Armstrong's, and my hair was as good as ever!
"Alright Edward, it is time for your final test" Adam says proudly.
I smiled and prepared for the exam.
"For your final test, which shall be broken into 3 parts-you will perform Ki attacks and sensing, advanced martial arts, perform alchemy without clapping or transmutation circles, and finally, transform as far as Super Saiyan 4 and turn into an Oozaru, then battle a clone of me with a power level of 500 million" Adam states as a clone of himself splits off his body.
Immediately, Adam transmuted his hand into a miniature gong, and rang it.
Quickly, I used my new Ki sensing powers and got a lock onto the clone. Then, I cupped my hands, and prepared the signature move of the Son Family.
"KAAAAAAAAAAA…MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…HAAAAAAAAAAAA…MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" I yell as the bright blue energy forms in my palms, making the area near me light up.
As my energy reached its peak, I let me senses guess the escape plan the clone was likely to make, then let my Kamehameha rip.
"!" I scream as the huge trashcan wide beam of pure energy erupts from my grasp.
The clone zipped to the left, but I had anticipated this, and leaned the beam into the that direction. With surgical precision, the beam struck the clone in the head, and made it splat like a tomato, sending blood everywhere as the now dead clone slumped to the ground.
"Whhhhhhhhoooooaaaaaaaaa! Ok Edward, you've proven yourself in Ki art and battle, but you still need to do Advanced Martial Arts and Motionless Alchemy" Adam says with impression in his tone as he absorbs the mass of his clone back into his body.
I decided to impress Adam, and create an autonomous robot as my opponent.
With a nod of my head, the ground beneath me erupted up and transmuted into an android version of myself.
Then, Adam created a microchip with his powers, and slipped it into the geared golem.
The mechanical man sprang to life, and assumed a crane stance.
I quickly assumed the monkey pose, and leapt at the android with the grace and skill of a black belt monk.
After several seconds, the robot lay in sparking pieces all over the ground.
With a smile, Adam patted my shoulder, and said, "Congratulations my young gakuto-you have passed with flying colors"
I smiled, and gave my teacher-a teacher who acted like a true father-a hug.
"Thank you Adam, you've been so kind to me, and for no reason at all; how can I repay you fath…er-I mean, Sensei?" I reply with a smile
"All you need to do is beat the freakin snot out of Father when you confront him my student; now then, lets go show you off to the others Edward, show them the fruits of your labor" Adam says proudly.
Inuyasha
I couldn't believe Kagome dragged me up to the lookout for this; a kid Goku had rescued from another universe.
"Kagome, can't we be reasonable about this? We had a day out planned for Pete's sake, and we already met him before he went inside" I argue.
"Oh lighten up dear, this kind of thing doesn't happen very often; I think its rather cool" Kagome counters.
As if on cue, the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber opened, and Adam stepped out.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you-the new and improved, EDWARD ELRIC!" Adam says proudly.
Suddenly, from within the doorway, out stepped a man in his physical prime.
"Hey everyone, about time I saw you all again; it has been three years after all" Edward says cheerfully.
Right then, nearly all our jaws dropped as we looked at the new Edward.
HE WAS BUFF! He was like a blonde version of Goku!
"Whoa…" Kagome says as she blushes.
"Nice wife you got there Inuyasha, hope nobody steals her from ya" Edward says as he clicks his tongue.
Immediately Kagome giggled and said, "Oh go on, you're such a charmer Edward"
"(Growl) ALRIGHT THAT'S IT! WE'RE OUT OF HERE!" I scowl, as I take Kagome's arm and prepare to teleport away.
"INUYASHA! He was just kidding" Kagome argues.
"Yeah well he may have been, but I'd rather not take chances" I say as we begin to flash, then vanish from the Lookout.
Son Goku
I was amazed, this man…was the boy I'd rescued just 3 years ago? (3 days by our time).
"Wow…Son, you do amazing work" I compliment as I hug my son.
"Thank you, but you've seen nothing yet" Adam replies with a glint in his eye.
"Edward! Show them the extent of your training in Alchemy" Adam yells authoritatively.
Immediately, Edward nodded, and the tiles beneath me rumbled.
Suddenly, a white fist sprang out, and I quickly moved my arms to defend my face.
However, nothing hit. As I let down my guard, I saw that the fist wasn't a fist…it was extended for a hand shake!
"Whoa…um…I don't know any other way to describe this Edward; Amazing, simply amazing" I say as I shake the stone hand.
"Whoa…he didn't even move to use Alchemy" Daniel says as he looks at Edward like he was a new man.
"Yeah, Adam taught me how to use my Ki and any mass or energy to create solid matter" Edward replies.
"You mean…even the air?" Krillin asks timidly.
Without warning, a loaf of bread plopped onto Kirllin's head.
"That answer your question?" Edward laughs.
Suddenly, Edward turned to face Vegeta and said, "Vegeta, there's something I've been meaning to do since I entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber"
Vegeta grunted and turned his head to face Edward.
In an instant, Vegeta was recoiling in pain, and I noticed the metal fist that had struck him in the chops.
"THAT'S FOR TRYING TO KILL ME YOU JERK!" Edward yells angrily.
We all stared in amazement as Vegeta literally had to pick himself up from that punch.
"OH! YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE PUNK!" Vegeta screams as he powers up to Super Saiyan.
"AH AH! Careful there hotshot" Edward warns.
"I could easily transmute you into steam, cause I've got you" Edward says slyly.
We then noticed that there was a tendril connecting from Edward to Vegeta, a tendril of Ki energy.
"One false move and you'll need those Dragons Balls to come back from the dead" Edward threatens.
"(Growl) You're good kid, I'll give you that" Vegeta scowls.
"Well, I'd love to stick around-but I need to return home; Al needs me" Edward says as he gives me and Adam a hug.
"We're gonna miss you Edward" Katie says as she hugs Edward too.
Adam's son James had also come to see Edward off, and gave him a firm handshake.
"Yeah, you're cool by me man" James says with a smile.
"Come back and visit soon Edward" Katherine says happily.
"Sure thing guys" Edward replies as he claps his hands, preparing to open a portal.
"WAIT! You cannot leave yet my student" Adam says as he interrupts the formation of the universal portal.
Edward Elric
I was just about to create a wormhole with my new alchemy, until Adam stopped me.
"Edward, before you go…I want you to have something of the utmost importance" Adam says as he takes my hands.
Then, I felt him put something into my fists, something cold, but at the same time, warm.
I quickly held it up to examine it; it was a crystal clear stone on a chain that glowed with 7 different colors.
"That is a Reality Stone Edward, my gift to you" Adam says as he puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Whats it do Sensei?" I ask as I place the stone around my neck.
"You will know when the time comes, but know this-I have limited its power-you cannot use it for everything, but you can do things with it that are impossible with either Alchemy or Alkahestry" Adam replies.
With that, we hugged each other one last time.
"I won't let you down Sensei" I say as I bow to my master.
Then, with a clap of my hands, and an infusion of my own Ki, I created a portal and leapt through.
