Part 14
"I'm picking up a signal from down there," Bulma told Trunks.
"We should land and take a look," he answered.
They landed on an open field inside a forest. They were following a signal on Bulma's radar.
"It should be right about here," Trunks said.
"I don't see anything."
"Hmm, that pile of growth seems rather suspicious. Let's take a look."
Trunks and Bulma got closer to the thing covered in green plants. Trunks pulled on the plants and cleared most of the thing.
"This is not possible!"
"Isn't that your time machine?" Bulma asked?
"It appears so, but I have my time machine right here!"
Trunks pulled the capsule from his jacket, pressed it and threw it on the ground. The exact same time machine appeared in front of them only way cleaner.
"What's this hole in the glass?" Bulma asked.
"It looks like someone tried to escape from it. But we have to be sure it's mine."
Trunks wiped off the dust and more growth off the side of the time machine. It said 'Hope!' and it was a #1 capsule.
"T-there has to be an explanation," Trunks said thinking about all the horrible possibilities that could have led to this situation.
"We must bring this back to the lab for analysis. I'll take this one and you take yours."
Bulma pressed on a panel at the side of the time machine and it turned into a capsule.
"Don't worry, my son, we'll figure this out."
Trunks and Bulma arrived back at the lab. So, what did you find, Bulma?" Dr. Briefs asked.
"We found this time machine that was standing all by itself. It has sometime standing there. That's kind of weird, because it means somebody has used it to come to the past. Yet, I haven't heard anything from Kageto or his crew."
"Indeed, that IS unusual. Normally you'll see them grabbing their head in pain because Time has been damaged. But we don't know exactly WHEN it arrived to begin with."
"That's why I brought it so we could check out it's log."
"Good idea. I'll get right on that. If it's made by the Capsule Corporation, which usually means me or you, it won't be so hard to figure out."
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
"I can help too," Trunks said, "I know how to work with it. After all, you taught me, mom."
"Aw, it's so nice to have a grown up son while already having the little one to feed."
"Moooom," Trunks said in an embarrassing tone.
"Aw, come on, you KNOW I have to wait a year or twenty for you to grow up so I can make these kind of jokes to you, right?"
"Ok, yeah."
"I'm just enjoying the moment we have together."
The baby monitor announced a crying baby.
"Speaking of which, I need to spend some time with my own son too."
Bulma ran to attend Baby Trunks who was crying in his crib.
"So, grandpa, any conclusions?" Trunks asked Dr. Briefs who already opened the time machine."
"It's low on power. It has to recharge, though I don't know where."
"Let me help you. It runs through here."
"My, my, what a clever design. Who knew my brilliant daughter had the ability to make such a grand creation?"
"She spent months and months researching and building it. She said that you were exactly the same; that hours seemed like minutes to you when you work. Sometimes you even forget to work or sleep. She or grandma has to come here with food or to pull you away from your work, that is... until you passed away."
"I passed away, you say? I still have a lot of years to go."
"Yeah, I know. It was the androids that killed you."
"Hmm, God bless these time machines."
"Yeah..."
Hyperbolic Time Chamber Entrance 10:00 AM
"Listen up, everyone. Only two can enter in the Chamber at a time." Kageto announced, "We can change that. I enter first with one of you and the rest will have to wait for a portal to open. Once I open a portal through the inside, I'll yell so you know where it is. You enter the portal and we're safe for a year of training. Umm, Fasha, you're coming with me. Alright, let's go."
Fasha and Kageto entered the room and the door closed behind them.
"Hey guys, over here," Fasha spoke in a slow deep voice.
Bardock and Thorah reached the portal and jumped through it.
"Ok, now that we're all here, the training can begin. The most important training on the schedule, which I keep postponing every time for no reason, is the Great Ape Transformation."
"But there's no moon in here," Fasha said.
"We don't need a moon when we have an artificial moon."
Kageto formed a concentrated white energy ball in his right hand. He threw it upward.
"BURST AND MIX!"
The energy ball looked like it exploded but it didn't. It stood tall and proud glistening like a star.
"Oh, that's right. We need the sun for it to work. Hmm, calculating the direction of the sun..."
Kageto calculated the direction of the sun and opened a portal above the artificial moon. He extended the portal in a half circle around the ball as result of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
"That should do it. Now remember. Before we look up, you have to think about the happiest moment in your life. Destiny is inside my head as a backup. I can already fully control my Great Ape Form. He's going to help YOU guys if you're going too far by 'grabbing the ropes of your body and hold you still' while you're trying to sort things out in your head. DON'T let your instincts take over you. YOU are in control. Use your WILL, remember, WE are the definition of free will. Ready?
"Yes, I'm ready," Thorah said.
The other two said similar things.
"Ok, let's begin."
Al four of them looked up. Their eyes were drawn up by that white sphere floating innocently in the sky. Their hearts started to beat faster. Their tails pointed up and absorbed the Blutz waves coming from the sphere. They became hairier and their body began to grow massive. They were wearing body armour so it extended along with their body.
"GRAAAAAAH!"
"RYAAAAAAH!
"GRUUAAAAAH!"
"Kageto managed to control his instincts in a matter of minutes. The others were rampaging about. Kageto quickly ran to the entrance stomping his big feet and made a force field around the little house-like structure. If the door breaks, there is no way IN for the Z-Fighters to train in later.
"Destiny, go help them!"
"Nah, we have plenty of time in here. They can't stay wild like this forever. When it's taking a bit too long I will step in. Give them some time."
After some time Bardock was the first to get it under control. You could see it by his actions. He stood still and looked down. He raised his hands and looked at them. He even tried to speak but didn't control that one very well.
"Don't worry, Bardock," Kageto said in a deep loud voice, "You'll get it back by training."
Next was Fasha. She stopped shooting pink blasts from he mouth and jumping about and started to concentrate. She also raised her giant hands and looked at them. She controlled her speech way better than Bardock.
"...geto," she spoke, "Is ...at you?" she said looking at the slightly bigger and stronger than the rest Great Ape.
"Yes, Fasha, you're doing great. Keep doing what you're doing."
Thorah finally calmed down after his rampaging. He tired himself out which allowed him to re-take control of his body. He sat down and looked at his hands. He tried to speak but his tongue kept slipping.
"Finally we're all conscious. Don't worry, we can work on the speech later. Now we're going to fight and become stronger. No holding back, except on Thorah. He still needs to catch up. That's exactly what he's gonna do in this coming year. Are we ready?"
All three of them nodded and drummed on their chest like gorillas.
"We are all PROUD to be Saiyans!"
"Gryaaaaaah!"
Six months later (inside of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber)...
The four Saiyans, exhausted, were lying on the floor face-up. The have turned back to normal.
"So," Kageto said with a restrained voice, "Anyone up for another round?"
"You have got to be kidding me, Kageto," Bardock said.
"Nope, as long as there's still fight in me, I will fight till the end."
Kageto collapsed on the ground but stood back up.
"Come on, Kageto," Fasha said, "You can't even stand up right let alone punch someone."
"I'm up for it," Thorah said as he stood up.
"That's the spirit, Thorah," Kageto said smiling, "You are so eager in becoming stronger, aren't you?"
"No, I just wanted to take advantage of you. You're all worn out."
"No, I'm NOT!" he said as he fired a Buster Cannon. He then collapsed again and stayed down, "Ok, now I am."
They rested for a few hours. Kageto rolled onto his back and was staring at the artificial moon. It had no effect because they learned to transform at will, meaning they could suppress their transformation while staring directly at it.
"Hey, Bardock, you're a brilliant scientist," Kageto teased.
"Shut up, it wasn't funny when Vegeta said it and it's not funny now."
"Oh, I think it's very funny. Unless you want to prove me wrong. Come at me, bro."
Bardock stood up and walked over to Kageto who was still laying on the ground. Bardock's right hand was glowing blue.
"Ready to die?"
"You know damn well I can't die."
"You know damn well you CAN get vaporized."
"I dare you."
"Hraaaah!"
At the last second Kageto disappeared from his disadvantaged position. Bardock missed him and the ground exploded.
"You two stop fighting," Fasha said irritated, "You two are acting like little boys."
"If you act like us more often, you'll actually get stronger," Bardock intimadated.
"Take that back or I'll KICK YOUR *SS!" she said as she transformed into a Super Saiyan.
The fight turned out to be Fasha and Kageto against Bardock. Bardock had both of his hands glowing blue ready to shoot anything that moves. His aura was shining blue around him. He was ever so vigilant.
"Finish Buster!"
Bardock quickly turned around and fired.
"Spirit Cannon!"
"Energy Ballet!"
Fasha launched a pink sphere to float above Bardock. Bardock realized his mistake too late. He was too busy pushing the Finish Buster away and he couldn't block the pink energy rain that will erupt any second now... but wait!
"Full Power Energy Ball!" Thorah said as he fired, "Can't someone get some peace and quiet around here?"
The Energy Ball destroyed the Energy Ballet before it could burst.
"Thanks, Thorah, now help me out here. Go get Fasha. Keep her busy."
"Ok, got it."
"Graaaaaah!"
Bardock burst out his energy and pushed the Finish Buster away into oblivion. He then transformed into a Super Saiyan and searched for Kageto.
"Burning Attack!"
Bardock turned around and flew upward. With both hands he pushed the energy ball down and flew in the direction it came from. Kageto was hiding in a cloud.
"I got you now!"
"No you don't."
Kageto disappeared when Bardock hit him. It appeared to be an illusion.
"Grr, he pulled an Afterimage on me. Seriously! Who could HIDE in a place like this?"
"I can help you find him," Destiny said inside his head.
"Where is he?"
"He's where you least expect him to be. Behind you."
"Graaaaah! Super Explosive Wave!"
Kageto was hit and hurt by the energy blast. He fell down and was recovering when Bardock charged another blast.
"Spirit..."
Fasha appeared behind him and kicked him in the neck. Bardock fell but recovered in mid-air.
"Thorah! Where are you?"
"I'm can't find Fasha."
"That's because she's floating in front of me! I thought I told you to keep her busy."
"Heh heh heh, you two can't catch me," Fasha said, "I'm too quick for you."
Kageto started to get on his feet.
"Thorah?! Hurry up!"
"Can't you handle her?"
"I'm trying to handle Kageto before he gets away again but Fasha will attack me when I'm not watching her."
"I think I'm lost. Yell a little louder so I can follow your voice."
Kageto ascended stopped next to Fasha.
"Thanks for covering for me, Fasha."
"No problem."
Thorah finally arrived next to Bardock.
"What took you so long?"
"Everywhere I turn it looked the same. I was following Fasha into nothingness when I lost track of the entrance house. She disappeared and left me there."
"Good job, Fasha," Kageto said, "Taking care of your rival."
"Hey, I heard that," Thorah said.
"Oh, this is gonna be fun," Fasha said as she charged up to one hundred percent.
"I agree," Thorah said as he too charged to full power. He had already achieved Super Saiyan level and he was catching up fast.
Kageto too began charging up. As a result of the training he became stronger than before. His aura turned yellow and he transformed. His Hunter was beeping with the sudden power surge.
30.000.000...
50.000.000...
60.000.000... Kageto's muscles began to bulge. His hair stood straighter upward than ever.
100.000.000...
180.000.000...
230.000.000...
290.000.000... A bright light shone around him. His aura's intensity increased dramatically. Power burst from every square millimeter of his body. Small lightning bolts appeared around him and then disappeared. The counter on the Hunter reached 300.000.000. Kageto's energy created a sonic boom which hurled all of them back a few feet. Kageto has attained Super Saiyan 2.
"This power... I can feel it run through my body like electricity. It... It feels gooood."
The volume of Kageto's hair increased. He looked stronger than ever.
"Heh, heh, heh, if you can reach that level, so can we," Bardock said while charging his energy. Fasha and Thorah followed his lead.
The Hunter targeted each of them individually and announced their power levels. All of them were over 100.000.000 and counting. They bulked up and their hair had more divinations in them. Soon enough the reached 200.000.000. Their power levels were rising fast. They were unleashing all of the energy they had pent-up and the ones gained by the training. Kageto was blown away by the display of raw energy going on in front of him. He stabilized himself in mid-air and watched the show. A small blue lightning spark was all it took for the trio to transform into a bright light.
The air was literally shaking around them. It looked like Fasha's hair grew by a lot. Standing there next to each other they looked like a team of ultimate warriors.
"Heh heh heh, I didn't know you guys were so strong. You were holding back on me. Why did you do that?"
"You're our leader. We didn't want to take away all of your glory as the strongest."
"You didn't. Even now I'm still stronger than you. I have an unlimited energy source, remember?"
"Which we can ALSO utilize, remember?"
"I'm so proud of you, guys. Especially you, Thorah. You had the strength to carry on even when you were almost depleted. Your will to reach higher power was what amazed me the most. You reached your goal. You must be proud of yourself. I know I am."
"I am too," Destiny said appearing before them, "You clearly showed me that your willpower is higher than Kageto's..."
"HEY!"
"... The strength you showed me was from deep inside of you. This is your true power."
"I won't stand for this!" Kageto said.
"Wait, I'm not done yet," Destiny answered, "You know that after any great speech of mine I demotivate them, right."
"Okay, carry on."
"So, this is your true power. It's the exact same as these meatheads. They haven't even shown their true power meaning that YOUR full power equals THEIR not so full power which means you're weaker than them. They didn't pull their last ounce of strength to reach this form. Only you did. That means you have to train harder. Destiny OUT!"
Destiny disappeared in front of them. He re-entered Kageto's head.
"Why did you do that?"
"I just wanted to mess with the man. He can take a joke, right?"
"He really thought you were serious. That was deeply demotivating. That's low, even for me."
"I always do this to you. Why must I make an exception for him? Besides, he's going to train harder because I motivated him... by demotivating him. See how it works? THAT'S how I control you. THAT'S how I get inside of your mind."
"Are you kidding me? You ARE inside of my mind."
"See how good it works?"
"Man, there IS no arguing with you."
"I'm sorry about Destiny, Thorah," Kageto started, "He can be a real pain in the head sometimes. He does those jokes afterward so he wouldn't seem like a soft-hearted weakling in front of his employees. What he said before the joke he really meant it. You DO have more potential than me... not by that much. What I'm trying to say is that your exactly the kind of fighter that not only fights for others but also fights for himself."
"Thanks, Kageto, I really thought he was serious about that last part."
"Even though that last part WAS true... which it is... it doesn't make you less of a Saiyan. Remember how a.. Of you were labeled as low class warriors? Look at you now. You're Super Saiyan 2!"
"Destiny, stop implanting those thoughts into me while I'm talking. Remember, you were the strongest in existence. Now you're acting like a jerk."
"Because I enhanced your jealousy a little?"
"You did what...? Oh God that was my jealousy? I have never been jealous in my life."
"See what I mean by my mind controlling actions? That speech affected you two. It was MEANT to affect you. It was all part of my experiment."
"What experiment?"
"The one where I test if Kageto, The Supreme Saiyan, has emotions inside of that all-knowing brain of his."
"Was that a compliment and an insult combined?"
"Noooooo, maybe."
"What has gotten into you lately? Why are you so... so mean?"
"I'm not mean. I'm having fun."
"With other people's emotions?"
"Exactly. Don't worry, this is just another phase in my boring immortal life. It will end soon. Now to think of a new topic for my next phase. Do not disturb."
"Hmph."
"Guys, we did in six months what we had to do in a year. We are fast learners. We can do anything. Nothing can stop us. Whatever is coming we are ready for it. Screw these timeholes. We will become tougher and endure them like the warriors we are. We are Saiyans!"
Kageto opened an interdimensional portal to the lookout. All four of them went through it. It was night. They all flew back to Capsule Corp. The place they called home.
End of Part 14
Uh, yeah... This chapter is posted the exact same time as Part 13. It's that I finished this one very fast. It's the weekend. I don't post in the weekend. That means that I finished another chapter (this one) in less than two days. My head was just filled with ideas. It would be nice if you wrote a comment or get in touch with me by mail if you don't have a fanfiction account. My mail address is (screen name)+(at yahoo dot com).
