Ultimate HeroeZ VI
The sun rose over the fields. As the light grew, it revealed animals, plant life, gentle slopes of hills, and finally, a sleeping saiyan. Leon had been in the field throughout the night, hovering with arms and legs crossed. When the sunlight hit his eyelids, he stirred and opened them. He let his feet drop to the ground, and stretched. He recollected his memories and focused on preparing for food to feed the masses upon his return.
Leon walked over a hill and spotted a herd of boars accompanied by two or three cattle. He descended upon the grazing animals and attacked them, each creature ended with a well-placed strike to the back of the head. He pulled out an empty capsule and tossed it. The signature smoke screen of the capsule engulfed the animals and went back to capsule form. Leon took pf with the meal all packed away.
When he returned, everyone had already begun, and were nearing the summit. Upon closer inspection, one of them had already made it. An hour earlier than Leon had anticipated. He went to check on this high achiever. When he landed, the child who was doubled over in exhaustion, stood straight and bowed respectfully and spoke, "Hello teacher." Though he had a confused look on his face he remained confident in composure.
"Is there a problem? You look troubled."
"Forgive me if I'm mistaken but wasn't your hair black?"
"Why is my hair an issue?"
"Because it's glowing a bright shade of yellow."
Leon hadn't realized it, but he had went through an entire night and morning in his super saiyan state. He'd been practicing for a while but he just achieved his goal: to grow accustomed to the power strain of the transformation. "I'm sorry" Leon said as he powered down. "That was meant to be a surprise. I was going to show everyone what they were working for once every one reached the top."
"I won't spoil the surprise, teacher."
"I have a reward for you for getting up here, but first, what is your name?"
"Nebarid, sir."
"Hmm, that's original. So, how would you like to be my personal apprentice?"
The young one's face lit up instantly, a wide grin spread across his features. "That would be great!"
"Excellent. I want you to gather your things when evening comes. We'll take off tonight."
Once Nebarid heard 'taking off,' his entire demeanor changed. "Leaving, sir?" came the unsure voice.
"Yes. We do need our own space to train, right?"
"Yes but..." he gave a sigh and straightened up. "Can i take my sister along? I don't feel very comfortable leaving her behind."
"You two must be close. I admire that. Are you sure? The trials ahead are more difficult than you could imagine. Are you sure you want her to go through that?"
"I'm absolutely positive. Zuyoi might not be as confident as me, but she's just as strong."
Leon smiled at the compassion this one had for his sister. "She can come."
After a little celebration, more of the other students started to emerge from the edge of the mountain summit. They continuously rose up and sat for a breather, the last of which was Zuyoi. She didn't take a rest, but instead walked over to Nebarid and stood behind him silently.
Once everyone had settled, Leon began to speak. "Alright everyone. As you all know, this entire trip up the mountain was to test and increase your endurance. Before, you all got tired easily. Now, you've all improved a lot. And for that, I'm proud of you. And not only did I do this for your exercise, I did this to see how much potential you had. Some were able to do more: one of whom would be... Nebarid! Come out!"
He did as he was told and made his way to the front of the crowd and stood next to Leon.
"I've decided that I will take this young man has proven his worth. And as a reward, I'll train him personally and leave you in the hands of Nero. I've taught him what you all will need to have learned by time we return."
Nero stepped out from the side lines and spoke his own words. "Leon and I have had a few personal sparring sessions, and I must say that I've learned a lot since we met."
"And before you all go, there's one last announcement. Not only did Nebarid prove himself here at the mountain, he also convinced me to take another one of you along for the training." There was a gasp that came from the crowd in unison. "Zuyoi, your brother chose you." Most of the students turned to the shy girl. She had her face to the ground but walked straight towards her brother. Some of the kids made a few harsh comments in her direction, but she ignored them. It would seem that she's always been somewhat of the outcast of the group. When she got behind Nebarid, Leon continued on. "You're all dismissed. I look forward to your progress when I come back."
Piccolo was in disbelief. By chance, some runt from the city, named Soraxus, came to him asking for training. At first, this kid was among the weakest opponents he ever had the displeasure of sparring with. But here he was about a day later, and the same runt was matching him blow for blow, albeit with a bit of a push. He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was an eerie feel about this kid. It's like he felt this kind of aura before but at this point, it was so vague, he put the thought aside as suspicion.
Just so I don't get reviews about this, I'll keep Soraxus's story a little vague for now. I'm gonna do a chapter on his end of the story soon.
