Movie 01: The First Super Saiyan
AN: The first Dragon Ball Alpha movie is here! I wish to treat this fic like another installment in the franchise and that means films and specials, though probably only a couple and all of them are cannon.
Each Galaxy is unique and changes with every generation of Gods that watches them. The Northern Galaxy was no exception, as Seach soon realized when he became it's Kaio. The North was home to the Namekians, Yardatians,and as Seach found when he peered farther outward, the Saiyans.
The Saiyans dwelled on the far-off planet of Saiya as a primitive humanoid species, known for all having black hair and eyes as well as monkey-like tails and muscular bodies. As descendents from survivors of an ancient war, they were also a mighty warrior race who hungered for battle. Every man,woman, and child lived to fight and grow as strong as possible. Many other warrior races often invaded to challenge their power and each time, they stood victorious.
It was during one such invasion that the true extent of the Saiyans' power was uncovered. The Nocturnes, a bat-like race whose power peaked when shrouded in darkness, launched an attack on Saiya at night and managed to wipe out several Saiyan clans in the heat of battle. Unfortunately for them,it was also the night of the full moon.
On Planet Saiya, the moon was only full once every twenty-five hundred years and it held a terrible secret about the Saiyan race. Saiyan tails contained a special gland activated only when they looked at a full moon and absorbed what they called Blutz Waves through their eyes. This gland caused Saiyans to became giant ape-like beasts called Oozaru, ten times as strong and ten times as feral as their normal forms. The last time it occurred, the whole race nearly wiped itself out!
The Nocturnes were beaten soundly by their enemies' transformation and less than half of them survived to tell the tale. When the Saiyans returned to normal the next morning, they remembered nothing and simply celebrated victory once more. The surviving Nocturnes never forgot what they witnessed however and vowed to spare others the horror. They warned all who would listen of the Oozaru and did everything they could to prevent others from invading Planet Saiya.
These efforts were successful but the Saiyans soon grew restless without regular challenges and took to fighting themselves to satisfy their bloodlust. This lead to several centuries of senseless destruction until Broccules appeared. On the surface, Broccules was an average Saiyan but he had been born with a genetic mutation that would herald a new era for his race. When he became an adult and witnessed the slaughter of his entire clan, his rage was unleashed and he transformed into something far greater than an Oozaru. The murdering Saiyans watched in shock as Broccules' hair stood on end and turned gold, his eyes turned a brilliant blue, his muscle mass doubled, and his eyebrows vanished. Golden fur covering his upper body and a lightning-like aura completed the change.
The transformed warrior easily slaughtered his clan's murderers and vowed to end the war with his power. He used his new chi controlling skills to fly around the planet,battling any Saiyans he came across. The clan leaders were so frightened by this golden demon's strength that they proclaimed him their king and bowed before him. Broccules accepted and shocked his new subjects by reverting to his normal form and revealing himself as one of them. From that day forward, he was known as "the Super Saiyan."
Years passed and Broccules ruled the Saiyans with an iron fist. During his reign, he took multiple mates and sired many sons and daughters to keep his bloodline strong, All were born with great strength but lacked their father's genetic mutation and could only transform into a weaker Super Saiyan form that changed their hair and eyes alone. Little did they they were all born with various levels of Super Saiyan dormant within them to compenstate for this and could have reached them had they trained hard enough.
Along with the training of his many offspring, Broccules sought to revive the space faring technology used by his race's ancestors. The Saiyans were still primitive compared to most of the Northern races but had always been more intelligent than others gave them credit for. In fact,they were close to developing a working ship large enough to carry a small army. Broccules would use this ship to send his children across the galaxy to carve a grand empire in his name. Seach took note of their progress and feared he would have to step in if things got out of hand. He also feared that if it came to that,he would lose for Broccules was far stronger than Bojack or any other threat he had faced since becoming a Kaio.
As it turned out, someone else would come to stand in the Super Saiyan's way. On the other end of the Galaxy, King Cold of the planet Arcose was also planning to spread his influence. Arcosians, also known as Changlings to some, were a race of shape shifters who could alter their very DNA at will. Their most recent and most radical change had been several million years ago when Arcose entered a permanent Ice Age, forcing them to assume reptilian forms that could survive in any atmosphere. This new form caused them to thrive in arctic climates and gained them the nickname "Ice-jin" from the neighboring world.
Cold was one the rare members of his species to be born with exceptional strength,so much that it became difficult to control on his own. He was eventually forced to use his abilities to create an alternate form for himself that would surpress his power. While most knew Cold as a hulking brute with horns and purple skin, few knew of the far more dangerous form he could transform into when forced into battle. If a certain warrior from an alternate future had been stalled long enough for Cold to change, things might have gone much differently in this particular timeline.
Cold had just recently established the Planet Trade Federation, a soon to be galaxy-wide organization of warriors under his command. These warriors would be sent to selected planets to wipe out all life on them so Cold could sell them to the highest bidder on the Galactic Market. Through this "business venture", Cold would slowly gain a foothold over the universe itself and become it's ruler.
With a handful of planets already under his control and made into Federation Bases, Cold's armada was sent out to recruit warriors for his operation. They sought out only the strongest they could and destroyed any they deemed unworthy. This destruction was often delivered personally by the Armada's leader, Queen Tundra.
Tundra was King Cold's mate and the mother of his two sons, the one day infamous Cooler and Frieza. She resembled a female version of Frieza's first form with light blue skin and a headpiece similar to Cooler's fifth form. While she needed no transformations to control her strength, she was still considered very powerful and was almost as feared as her husband. Like her eldest son Cooler, she reveled in destruction and used her position in the Armada to cause as much as possible.
After several months of travel, the Armade entered Planet Saiya's atmosphere. Tundra had heard rumors of the Saiyan race for years but had never truly believed the tales of their strength. In a bid to satisfy her curiousity, she ordered the Armada to remain in waiting while she investigated the planet herself.
The ship touched down in the middle of the Saiyan city of Mushrumba. As Tundra took her first steps onto the planet's soil, a large crowd gathered to stare in awe and distrust. For the first time in centuries, Planet Saiya had been visited from beyond the stars.
Tundra immediately found herself disgusted by the Saiyans' brutish appearance. What right did such savages have to serve an empire as grand as her own? She spoke to them in such condescending and arrogant tones that the crowd became enraged at just the sound of her voice. When the Arcosian Queen spoke of putting their "brutish" talents to constructive use in the Planet Trade Federation's armies, one Saiyan snapped and attacked her with a punch to the face.
Tundra was unphased by the attack but furious just the same. She fired a Death Beam,her family's signature technique, from her finger that killed not only the attacking Saiyan but several others as well. This sent the crowd into a rage and soon,they all attacked the Arcosian Queen. This one event would unknowingly link the Saiyans and Arcosians for centuries to come and perhaps serve as the catalyst for one of the greatest battles ever known.
Tundra slaughtered every Saiyan within her reach, delighting in each death she caused. She then proceeded to destroy the city and fly off in search of new challenges. Broccules' children were soon sent out to confront the invader as she continued to ravage their society. Each one transformed and attacked in union but were no match for the Arcosian Queen's power. Strong as they were, the Super Saiyans of the past could not compare to either their father of their descendents.
Broccules sensed the death of his children and became enraged. Though ancient Saiyans couldn't sense chi, clans were bound together by blood and could read each other's thoughts and emotions. Transforming into his Original Super Saiyan form, the Saiyan ruler confronted Tundra just as she entered the capital city of Root.
The Arcosian Queen was unimpressed with Broccules and stated that his race's transformation was nothing new to her, revealing she had similar tricks up her sleeve. While she never needed a transformation to repress her strength like her husband, Tundra had been attempting to develop a form that brought her dormant power out. She had one day planned to overthrow Cold with it and take his empire for herself.
Broccules watched as Tundra began powering up and pink crystal surrounded her body. This crystal shattered after a few moments to reveal she had completely transformed. She was taller and more muscular with navy blue skin and pink strips on her stomach, elbows, knees, and forehead. Silver hair flowed down to the middle of her back and a matching mouth guard hid most of her face from view except for glowing red eyes. She looked like a cross between both her sons' final forms.
The Arcosian Queen marveled at her new form, having never transformed until that moment. Broccules became so annoyed at her vanity that he attacked head on and knocked her into a nearby building, causing it to collapse. Tundra rose from the rubble a moment later and was completely unharmed.
Both combatants took to the air and began to battle, each clash sending tremors throughout the city and golden beams of light flying into space. Every Saiyan who lived there was sent fleeing from their homes and into the harsh dessert. Lead by two strangers named Pinach and Kale, they journeyed to the ancient army base that housed Broccules' incomplete ship and managed to activate it, fleeing the planet forever. Tundra's Armada spotted them and would have attacked had they too not been frightened away a moment later.
Oblivious to their followers abandoning them, Tundra and Broccules continued to battle. The Super Saiyan was becoming more and more fustrated that the Arcosian Queen was proving his equal and powered up to his maximum strength for the first time in his life, becoming a massively muscled hulk with pure white eyes. To his shock however, Tundra powered up to her max as well, matching him in strength once again.
The battle continued for several more days, destroying what remained of the capital around them. Even Seach began to believe it would last forever until one night when the moon rose in the sky and was revealed as completely full. In Saiyan time, twenty-five hundred years had passed and the mightiest one of all was about to become even more dangerous.
Both Tundra and Seach watched watched in horror as Broccules became a monstrous golden furred Oozaru, more savage than any that had ever existed. He easily surpassed Tundra in his new form and obliterated her with a massive chi blast from his mouth. The Super Saiyan could no longer control his strength however and was soon destroyed in an explosion of his own power, taking Saiya with him in the process. Their home world was gone but the story of the Saiyans was just beginning.
AN2: Broccules' Original Super Saiyan form combines traits from all four levels. His full power form is based on Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form.
