Dragon Ball NA

Last time on NA... With the help of a townsman named Stein, our heroes got a free ride to Central City. Upon their arrival, they meet a genius named Bull. After a misled in anger and a newfound friendship, Our heroes make haste to Mt. Paos. Will they make it there, or will High General Whitefist capture them and turn them into cyborgs. Find out in this installment of Dragon Ball NA

Nightfall has passed, everyone but Bull fell asleep. Bull set the auto pilot and pulled out his tablet. 'Let's see... if I make the spaceship like this... then there won't be any room for sleeping arrangements AND put the gravity chamber in it. Maybe if I.." Before Bull can re-design it, he looked up just in time to manuever away from tower by a couple feet. Bull looked in the rear view mirror to see that went well enough into the sky. "Close one. but why build a tower to nowhere? Oh well, better get back to my designs." Bull went back to his tablet after re-engaging the auto pilot.

elsewhere...

High General Whitefist, and his newly grown army of cyber-soldiers, grabbed as many people in the town of Mer-cante. "We hope you can provide an improved information than that miniscule town's former inferior organic inhabitants." The mayor and the rest of the catured people saw in horror the recognizable friends of their neighboring village.

"W...what have you done to them!?" The mayor's shocked expression of seeing the people of the small village been cyberized. "You monsters!"

"Tell us the location of that tailed inferior organic human this instant, or be subjegated to cyberization." Whitefist got closer to the mayor, before he could grab him, one of the townsfolk spoke up.

"I don't know where they're going, but I know the direction they came from."

Whitefist turned his head. "Tell us where he came from. You'll not need cyberization, we'll kill you for not providing that information." The townsman was beyond scared at that moment, then proceeded to evacuate everything his body held.

"Th...th...they came from the north! I...I believe a village is up there!" Whitefist motioned the rest of his army towards the northside entrance. After they left, the mayor walked up to the townsman and sat beside him.

"It was stupid of you to say that to them."

The townsman cried uncontrollably. "I'm sorry mayor, If it wasn't for that kid, we'd be either like them, or dead. I have a family to think about." The mayor sighed and looked up. "We'll have to send someone to Mt. Paos and tell them what happened."

Stein's arrival to Mer-cante wasn't joyous as he'd hope. "I leave for almost one day, and the town's moping. What'd I miss?"

The mayor motioned Stein towards him. "Black Fist Organization was just here. Looking for Rugai and his friends."

Stein's expression went grave. "I just saw Bull's air car passed overhead a couple hours ago. They must be halfway there by now, I'll personally head to Mt. Paos and tell them what's going on." Without word, Stein hopped back in his truck and exited the south entrance and rushed towards Rugai and the others.

Daybreak just couple miles away from Mt. Paos...

Rugai was the first one awake, he stretched his arms upwards. "First to awaken I see. Boy you sure talk to your sleep. So your dad sent you here, huh? Must be tough for a parent to stay behind like that for the safety of their child."

Rugai got depressed. "I didn't really know him much. He was always taking jobs at other planets. My mom, I never knew but wish I did. All I can remember is being alone when no one would talk or hang out with me. Whenever my dad was home, he'd either be asleep or he'd be off somewhere and never came to visit."

Bull put his hand next to his neck and patted him. "Is that why you quickly get angry whenever your friends get into trouble?" Rugai only nodded. "That's actually a nobel thing for you, and your best weapon. Now then, your older brother here has something to show you." Rugai was confused by the words of Bull, until he was handed the tablet with a specific detailed schematics of his spaceship. "Before you say 'how awesome' it is, it took me nearly the whole night to design it to our specifications."

Rugai looked at him. "You want us to explore the galaxy, now?" Bull just chuckled

"Nope. First thing I need to figure out is how to sustain everything for both short term and long term travels. Henceforth my mobile lab I'm bringing along to do such a thing."

Rugai went back to the schematics and studied it very closely. "If you want, you could take a look at my space pod the kind folks of Snowvilla hid from everyone else."

Bull hit the breaks and immediately stopped the air car, causing everyone else to wake up by force. "YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL SPACE POD! WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU WAIT THIS LONG TO TELL ME!?"

Rugai cringed. "I didn't know you were making something like this. You never brought it up." He handed Bull back his tablet. "Please don't yell at me anymore." As Bull nicely took back his tablet, he looked at the kids sitting in the back seat and saw the angry looks he's recieving.

"You could've warned some people when you're going to do that."

"Yea!" Tenchi agreed with his brother.

"And U was having the most wonderful dream..." Deena lookat at Rugai, and blushed brightly. "Ummm... nevermind."

Bull faced Rugai again. "Fine. I'm sorry for suddenly stopping like that." Sarcasticly he said those words. "After your guys' training with this so-called 'master', we'll head to this... Snowvilla... and retrieve your space pod for furthur study." Bull faced the wheel, and saw where he stopped at. "Looks like we're here kids. Going to land at the entrance, then walk its path. Let's see... Most likely where the master lives is towards the summit. So we're hiking up there. Any arguments?" Bull looked at each one of them with an evil look. Everyone shook their heads quickly. "Good. Hold your asses tight, we're landing hard." Bull flipped the swtich, and the air car plummeted straight down while the kids screamed in horror.

Minutes later, Bull laughed real hard as the air car hovered just inches off the ground. Rugai clutched his chest tightly. "Don't... Ever... Do... That... Again! I... Thought... We're... going... to die!" Bull kept laughing hard.

"Come on now, I'm not stupid enough to kill you kids after we reached your goal. Besides, you guys keep me entertained."

Tenchu tried to put Bull in a head lock. "We're basically your punching bags for all things torturous!" Bull grabbed Tenchu and held him on the other side of the air car's door.

"I'm not torturing you for the hell of it. Most of you have lived a sheltered life, and SOMEONE has to update how friends should act towards each other." Bull dropped Tenchu on the ground. "Everyone else, out. We're hiking up the path."

Moments after everyone exited, Bull pushed the red button on the steering column. A cloud engulfed the vehicle, and shrunk back into its cube form. "And now it rests. Pretty cool, huh?" Bull smiled widely as he showed them that display. Only Rugai was impressed by it, his friends on the otherhand wasnt. "Oh come on! After everything I've done for you, this is how you show your enthusiasm for what I just did? You are no fun whatsoever, except for the boy here, he's interesting and shows his gratitude at times."

Bull took the lead as they entered Mt. Paos' entrance path. Deena held Rugai's arm as they walked behind him, Tenchu and Tenchi took the rear. Tenchu kept his eyes peeled in case there's any danger, although Tenchi was more interested in the landscape than the dangers. "Oh Rugai, this place is beautiful. It has that same peaceful feeling as Snowvilla. Don't you agree, Rugai?"

Rugai looked at Deena from the corner of his eye, then looked towards the horizon. "Yes, it certainly is, but I like Snowvilla better." Rugai smiled as they continued their way up Mt. Paos.

Five hours passed...

As everyone reached a wide and pleasent clearing, Bull noticed a small building further in. "Guess someone really does live here, who knew?" Deena and Tenchi ran towards it, while everyone else walked slowly behind them. Tenchu caught at the corner of his eye, another orb but with two stars in it.

"Hey Ru, check this out." Tenchu showed it to him.

"Its like the seven starred one, but why only two stars?" Both Rugai and Tenchu were confused by it.

"Come on guys. They're waiting for us up there." Bull looked back at them, and thumb pointed towards Deena and Tenchi.

Bull and Deena were amazed by the structure of the house, while Tenchu was trying to keep his brother from getting hurt. Rugai took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. When no one answered, Rugai knocked again. Once again, no answer. He then decided to sit on the grassy part in front of the door. "I wonder why the master isn't here?"

Bull was closer to Rugai and rubbed his head. "Two guesses, the first one is that he or she went out to gather food. The second being that they died and left the house completely empty."

"Don't joke about that." Rugai held his head in his hands. "I don't ever want to think about it."

Bull sat next to him. "There's one thing that's been around since the dawn of man, death is unavoidable. No one person can live forever."

"Wise words from a man indeed." A woman dropped a tree next to her home, and walked over to the guys. "And here I thought the light of this world has gone dim. Seems like I was wrong." She stops and looks at Rugai. "Kid, quit sulking and get your friends off my land."

Rugai stood up immediately. "I can't leave. I was sent here to train under Master Evelyn."

"Kid, I don't train everyone who finds me. There's a reason why I seclude myself in the most remote region on this planet."

Rugai stood his ground. "I'm not leaving until you train me. I WILL NOT LET ELDER RYU DOWN!" Everyone went silent, Rugai looked at Evelyn with a fierce determination.

She closed her eyes and chuckled a bit. "So that fool is living out his dream, huh? So he really expects me to take on one of his kids? He's a fool." Rugai kept his determined look at Evelyn. "Kid, I've taken down much tougher people than you. What makes you think that you can convince me otherwise?"

Rugai lifted his right hand at the rock by the tree. Deena and the twins took cover, while Bull and Evelyn just stood there. Rugai fired an energy blast and destroyed the rock, Debris shot in various directions, one nearly missed Bulls head while Evelyn caught one without looking. Her facial expression changed after Rugai's display. "Are you going to train me or not?"

Evelyn dropped the rock, and looked at her bruised hand. "Kid, that was... unexpected. Very few people can naturally do what you do. Care to enlighten me on who you really are?"

Rugai retracted his hand back to his side. "Beat me, and I might tell you."

Evelyn smirked. "Kid... You'll regret those words."

Rugai rushed towards Evelyn and tried a right cross, only to be blocked. Evelyn landed her right cross on Rugai's face, causing him to be pushed back a few feet. Rugai rubbed his cheek and rushed at Evelyn again, he jumped and threw a left kick to her head. Evelyn dodged it and Punched Rugai's gut. Rugai grabbed her arm, pulled her closer and punched her face, Evelyn fell backwards and kicked Rugai's face. Upon landing, Rugai started to pant. "You think... this will... break me?... I'm just... getting warmed up." Rugai once again, rushed towards Evelyn, he gathered up some energy in his fist, extended his fist forward. "SHOTGUN" Tiny balls of light flew out of his hand, towards Evelyn. She put her hands in a defensive form, and his attack exploded in front of her. Rugai appeared behind her, and tried to clothesline her. Evelyn quickly grabbed him, and tossed him over her shoulder, then double punched him again in the gut.

"Kid... Do you have any idea who I am? I was once the world's strongest five years in a row. I'm a master of martial arts since before you were even a gleem in your father's eye, do you have any idea who you're dealing with?"

"I don't care. I want the strength to help others, I won't lose to ANYONE!" Rugai charged at Evelyn again, he jumped again and tried a right kick to her head. Evelyn caught the leg, and slammed him onto the ground... hard. Rugai coughed up some blood upon impact, and cried in pain a bit.

Evelyn walked on top of Rugai. "Kid... You got some skills. But you lost to a master, so... take a nap." Evelyn punched Rugai, knocking him out.

Mid afternoon settled upon our heroes...

Rugai just awoken to Evelyn sitting on one side of him while Deena sat on the other side. "Your friends told me everything. Though it doesn't really surprise me none." She leaned forward. "You're really an alien, huh?" Evelyn took hold of Rugai's tail. "Though not many born with tails would keep it. Guess your race keeps it."

Rugai tried to sit up. "I want another match with you. This time I will win." Evelyn smiled partly and pushed Rugai down.

"Hard to that... when your friends already confirmed to allow me to take you under my wing, your friends are welcomed to join in, provided that all my students listen to what I tell them to."

Rugai's expression was shocked, to say the least. He turned to Deena and saw tears of joy in her eyes, then was hugged tightly by her. Bull and the twins entered Evelyn's house, and saw Rugai's awakening. "Boy, you were all over during that... one sided beat down. You keep impressing me." Evelyn turned to Bull and gave him a near hateful stare.

"Will you be joining in on the training?" Bull smirked and chuckled.

"I'm a man of science, my muscles are only to get the ladies. What do you say babe, want to go a night with the best you'll ever will?" Bull flexed his pecs a bit, while Evelyn got up.

"Rest up tonight kids, we'll start your training early tomorrow." As She walked towards the door, she stopped in front of Bull and backhanded him hard. "Don't call me babe, I'm old enough to be your mother for crying out loud." She then stormed out.

Whitefist and his army stopped at the weather border into the snow capped lands. "We must make preperations or our circuts will freeze. Switch to cold weather mode." As the army went cold change mode, Whitefist looked at his surroundings, with his cybernetic eye, couldn't detect any abnormalities within his immediate surroundings. Shortly afterwards, he went into cold change mode while the rest of his army resumed their normal functions. Whitefist's cold climate mode changed faster than the others. With one gesture, he and the rest kept moving north into the land of snow.

Later that night...

Bull was toiling away in his mobile lab he set up by the nearest tree, by the falls. He mounted his tablet on the table, and connected a wire to a touch screen on the makeshift wall. Rugai stood beside Bull. "What are you working on this time?"

Bull looked at Rugai at the corner of his eye. "Trying to bring together the designs I've thought up. Figured eventually you'll want to travel into space again, and find the rest of your Saiyan race. Problem is, every design specs aren't good enough."

Rugai looked at the screen, and was confused by what he saw. "I wonder if I did this." Rugai fiddled the design of the ship, to a circular-ish look. Bull turned to Rugai's drawing, and was shocked at the new look.

"Boy... that'll definately work nicely." Bull's newfound inspiration, had him working harder than ever.

Meanwhile on planet Pargonia, Jeena visited her brother Lyc. Lyc, had the inhabitants worship him like a king. "Brother, we should be learning all we can from our new homes. Not to enslave it." Lyc grinned at Jeena.

"Sister, we are royalty, we should be using it to our advantage. These... Peons, are nothing but trash. With one motion, I could destroy this planet and everyone on it." Jeena started to tear up.

"But brother, this isn't the way of our kind. Please reconsider what you're doing." Lyc laughed loudly.

"My dear sister, I'm going to rebuild the Saiyan race. I'll only keep the strong warriors while the weak will be cast aside and either be a punching bag or cannon fodder. We are special sis, we will find a new planet Vegeta and rule with iron fists." Jeena slowly backed away, then flew towards Argonia's close proximity to Pargonia.

Back on Earth, daybreak hit our young heroes...

Rugai and Deena was watching the sunrise by the cliff, Tenchu was showing Tenchi how to warm up. Evelyn quetly walked up to the 'love birds', and grabbed them by the ear. The twins shortly followed them deeper into Mt. Paos.

"Alright kids I'm going to say this once. I've hidden three stones with my name on it, the one who doesn't find a stone by nightfall, will get no food. Now search!" All four scattered in different directions, and Evelyn went back to the house. Rugai ended up by the cliff during his search, as he peered over its side, he saw the rock precariously perched on a thin root branch. Rugai took a deep breath, and gently lifted himself up. Slowly he floated over the side, and floated down to the rock. Rugai grabbed it and floated back up and landed back by the edge. After a slight tumble upon his first step, Rugai went to help his friends.

It was mid afternoon when Deena found her rock. She was halfway up the tree, when she slipped and fell. Rugai jumped, and caught her in his arms before landing a couple feet away. "Thank you Ru." she smiled and hugged him tightly. "I thought I was a goner there for a second."

"You know I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you and my friends." Rugai gently put Deena down and showed him the rock he found. Her eyes sparkled and pointed behind him the rock she found. Rugai handed her his rock, and climbed the tree to retrieve it. When he showed Deena the rock, she hugged him again and planted a kiss on his mouth. Deena broke the kiss, both her and Rugai's faces went red.

"I...I'm sorry about..." Rugai put a finger on her lips.

"Don't be. But we should go help the twins, no sense than any of us to wait back at master Evelyn's place. But something's been bothering me."

Deena looked at Rugai as the try to find the others. "What do you mean?"

"Its what she said. 'I've hidden three stones'. No matter how I look at it, someone isn't geting fed tonight. I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into it."

Deena held his arm. "Lets not worry about it. We'll find the twins, and head back to master Evelyn's place together." She smiled at Rugai, and he smiled back.

Back on Argonia. Jeena was sitting in her space pod crying still. "Lady Jeena? Why are you crying in there?" One of the attendants peaked in.

"My brother is an idiot." She sniffs and kept crying. "I don't know why father sent us here and Pargonia. But my brother is making things worse. I can't stand it anymore." Jeena kept crying.

"Well, if lady isn't happy, we can send you to another planet. Your father's best friend mentioned a planet called Terra a while back. I heard its peaceful there." Jeena didn't look up, she just nodded. "Please give me your hand m'lady. We've prepared another ship for you in case if you wanted to leave here. It'll take you little over a year to get there by our scientists calculations. You've learned well in the short amount of time here, we've never had someone that learned everything this quickly."

Jeena wiped some tears from her eyes. "I've been a quick learner, and have an amazing memory. I might like this planet Terra." She managed a half hearted smile. "You gals have been so good to me. Thank you." Jeena hugged her attendant and was guided to her new space ship.

Dusk settled back on Earth...

Rugai and the others stood just outside the view of Evelyn's house. All but Tenchi had a stone in their hands. Tenchi was nearly in tears. "Why... couldn't... I... find... a... Stone?" Rugai handed him his stone.

"Here Tenchi. It wouldn't be right for you guys to eat." Tenchi tried to push Rugai's hand away. "I insist you take it. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Tenchi hugged Rugai and took the rock. Tenchu extended his fist at Rugai, and was met by the same gesture. Deena just smiled. Shortly afterwards, Tenchi knocked on Evelyn's door, Tenchu, Deena and Rugai stood behind him. Evelyn stood just outside while the twins and Deena showed her the stones.

"I'd figured you of all people would find a stone, Rugai. Guess I was wrong about you." She had a look of dissappointment at Rugai.

"Guess I still need more training, master." Rugai turned his head towards the horizon of the valley, and tried not to smile.

"Well no dinner from me tonight, kid. Your night time training is to hunt for your own food, as well as finding a safe location to sleep. As for the rest of you, inside now." After everyone got inside, Bull stood next to Rugai.

"I saw the whole thing, boy. You still surprise me, why did you do that?"

"You saw the whole thing? Then you should know why." Rugai went back into the wooded area.

An hour passed, Evelyn put food on the table. After everyone gave thanks, the kids dug into their dishes. Evelyn sat between Deena and Tenchu. "Hard to believe Rugai didn't find a stone."

Deena's eyes looked at Evelyn. "He did, gave it too Tenchi there out of the goodness of his heart." She went back to her eating. Evelyn was shocked at what she heard, and looked at the window.

Almost a month passed...

The kids' training went smoothly after a couple days of stumbling around. Rugai was hard at his balancing on a needle, Deena was meditating under the waterfall, and the twins were doing squats with heavy boulders. Bull was still toiling away at his mobile lab, making adjustments to a few gadgets. Out of nowhere, Stein crawled from the entrance of Mt. Paos. "R... Rugai... Help..." Stein collapsed from exhaustion and hunger. Bull quickly ran towards him, picked up Stein and rushed him inside Evelyn's house.

"Hey mom, cousin needs help. NOW!" Bull's face stared at her with fierce detirmination.

"Don't call me mom, brat. And set him by the window, rest is what he need." Evelyn pulled out an extra futon, and layed it down. Bull put Stein on it and sat by his side. The kids looked worried at what they were witnessing.

"Will he be ok, Bull?" Deena held her self and was trying not to cry.

"Stein's tough. He'll be back on his feet in no time." Bull never looked at them, just kept an eye on his cousin.

Couple days passed. Stein finally woke up and saw Bull's face, then hugged him tight. "Bull, where's Rugai?"

"He's outside training. Why?" Without word, Stein let go and rushed outside. Stein saw Rugai balancing on a blade of grass.

"Rugai, I have dire news... Black Fist Organization was in my town almost a month ago." Rugai stopped his training, and stood up. From what I could gather, they're heading towards the snow village in the north." Rugai clenched his fists tight, gritted his teeth, and had his eyes closed.

"Damn that Black Fist Organization. They better not harm anyone from MY village... Or else they'll truly feel my wrath." Rugai ran towards the cliff, his green aura engulfed him, and quickly flew off towards Snowvilla. Everyone eyes was bulging out of their sockets when they saw Rugai flying... and fast.

"Wh...when did he learn that?" Evelyn looked at his friends.

"This is the first for us as well. Bull, we need to catch up with him... like NOW!" Bull nodded,pulled out his air car cube. After it materialized, everyone but Stein hopped in.

"Not coming cousin?" Bull asked.

"Though I want to, but I'm going to pass. Best if someone stays here. Better catch up to him." Bull and the others nodded, he started up the car, and rushed towards Rugai.

Back at Snowvilla. the citizens were either cowering in fear, captured or laying on the ground. "Where is the tailed inferior organic humanoid? Either produce his physical body or the information where he's at. Selective dissinformation or his body will result either in death or cyberization." Elder Ryustood infront of Whitefist.

"The boy you seek, is no longer with us. we banished him awhile back." Ryu stared at Whitefist, Whitefist grabbed Ryu and backhanded him hard.

"You seem to have a connection to the tailed inferior organic humanoid. Tell me..." Before Whitefist could finish, Rugai slammed onto the ground.

"Leave... These... People... ALONE!" Rugai looked at Whitefist, and on the corner of his eye, he saw Ryu slowly getting up. "Elder...? Are you o.k.?" Elder Ryu turned to Rugai and slowly walked towards him. Heartbeat. Rugai was slowly standing up as well. Heartbeat. Elder Ryu smiled at him. Heartbeat. Whitefist's hand straightened out, and turned into a gun. Hartbeat. Whitefist pointed his gun hand at Ryu. Heartbeat. Whitefist fired an energy blast at Ryu. Heartbeat. Elder Ryu turned to ashes right in front of Rugai. Dead silence. Rugai went pale, eyes filling up with anger and tears at losing his precious family member who took him in. His body started to pulaste, an aura like steam escaping his body. The clouds in the sky darkened far beyond the eyes can see, lightning was striking at random areas outside the village. Rugai gritted his teeth in anger, a lightning struck behind him. "You... Killed... My... Grandpa..." His body pulsated more. "I... Cannot... Forgive... You..." Rugai's body pulsated faster, the golden like aura steam kept exiting his body. His eyes went blank, Rugai's hair slowly sticked high above his head, randomly turning a golden yellow. Another lightning stucked behind him, body pulsating faster, Rugai breathing faster. Rugai screamed longed and loudly into the sky, his hair went completely golden-yellow, his eyes went jade-green and a golden aura surrounded Rugai.

"This does not compute. No inferior organic humanoid should produce energy from their body, let alone transform like that."

Rugai fiercely stared at Whitefist. "I WILL DESTROY YOU, AND YOUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION FOR HARMING INNOCENT PEOPLE!"

With the loss of his adopted grandfather Ryu, Rugai's explosive anger has turned him into a Super Saiyan. Can he win against Whitefist of the Black Fist Organization? Will the rest of his friends arrive in time to help him? Find out next time on Dragon Ball NA.
