Dragon Ball: Rise of Nitrate [DBZ/DBS X Icejin OC]

Chapter Four: Return to Earth, Meeting the Z Fighters!

[Nitrate POV]
-----------------//-]

Myself and Goku had spent roughly one year on planet Yardrat -with Goku becoming stronger whilst I simply meditated. Over the twelve months together, we'd both learned a lot more about each other, mainly our backstories and what it was like growing up. Obviously, I already knew about Goku's past, but I thought it would be a nice conversation starter.

The greatest part of our conversation was when I revealed to the Saiyan that I'd never trained a day in my life. This sudden revelation of my true potential and power caused Goku to gasp dramatically before ranting about how I'd be the perfect rival for him, stars glistening in his child-like eyes. I chuckled at his antics before accepting to become his official rival- and hopefully a trusted friend.

After spending so much time on the planet, I finally managed to convince Goku that we should head to Earth and reunite him with his friends. Of course, I made it very clear that I was concerned about how his friends would react to me, but he simply waved off my fears by stating that he'd back me up if they ever attempted to make me leave. 

With our decision made, myself and Goku went back into my shuttle -which I still refuse to let Goku drive- and typed in the coordinates for Earth. With one loud thud from the engines, the ship took off into the sky and headed through space, speeding past an abundance of stars and planets that held little-to-no interest to us; we were adamant on reaching the planet before anything bad could happen.

[3rd Person POV]
----------------------//-]

Inside a large, amethyst spaceship that was traversing the stars, Nitrate and Goku were sitting at a large marble table positioned in the ship's lounge area; both the Icejin and Saiyan were completely bored out of their minds, and had no idea what to do to pass the time. Goku began slamming his head against the table whilst Nitrate was reading through a random data pad he'd discovered in the ship's database.

Finally, after another ten minutes of doing absolutely nothing, Goku cracked. He stood up from the table and threw his arms into the air, yelling violently at the ceiling of the shuttle. The Icejin merely stared at the raging Saiyan with a raised eyebrow as he attempted to hid the small grin that was edging itself onto his purple face.

Goku: "AAAAAAh! I'm so bored!"

Nitrate: "*Sigh* You know, Goku, you could always read some-"

Goku: "Reading is boring!"

Nitrate merely shook his head at Goku's response to his suggestion of fun before closing the data pad in his hand, placing it gently upon the table. Standing up from his chair, Nitrate proceeded to walk towards a large container and opened it, revealing an abundance of food. Goku's eyes immediately widened as he began to drool before he rushed towards the container with a wide grin.

Goku: "Yes! Something to do that's worthwhile!"

The hungry Saiyan quickly grabbed almost half of the food within the large box and threw it all upon the table, whilst Nitrate merely had a few slices of meat with vegetables on the side. Goku began devouring his food with his hands whilst Nitrate used a knife and fork, slightly scowling at the man's barbaric eating habits; he would never understand how Saiyans could eat so much food, and simply had to accept it.

However, whilst the two continued eating their meals -or rather buffet in Goku's case- the Saiyan decided that they shouldn't eat in silence and attempted to make small talk with Nitrate, something that he was absolutely terrible at. Though luckily for him, Nitrate was fully aware of this, and learned to never take what Goku says to heart.
