Dragon Ball Story: The Lost and The Forgotten

Survive, Heal, Adapt!

Under the sun's hot rays, the long-haired Saiyan ran across the rocky wasteland. The young warrior leaped over a stone and released an annoyed groan as he looked behind. A horde of mature spiders was right after him. He fired a quick barrage of energy blasts, but the deadly creatures pursued him while the purple attacks bounced off their hard shell. The tall teen cussed loudly as his attempt bore no fruit. He shifted his gaze forward and noticed the end of a cliff. The son of Bardock clenched his teeth and coped with the pain surging through his body. He let out a cry as he jumped and took flight.

It took all he had to stay afloat while the first wave of spiders fell down the cliff. Before he could relax, the spiders extended their long, needle-like, sharp tongues at the Saiyan. He manages to avoid the threat, just barely. However, the wounds inflicted by Paragus still didn't heal properly. He halted momentarily as the pain was too much. The warrior held his injured arm when, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed the incoming attack. He moved to the side in time and only escaped with a scrape. However, it still hurt a lot. The young male quickly flew to the solid ground without deadly spiders to prevent falling deep into the dark ravine.

The moment he touched the ground, he made only two steps before falling to his knees. Sweat dripped from his chin and created a small puddle underneath him. He was out of breath and in lots of pain. Yet despite that, he knew stopping here was not an option. He had to find a safe place to make a camp and get a much-needed rest. During the past few days, we were on a constant move, running from the deadly creatures of this tiny world.

His face lost color, and dark bags formed under his eyes. It was visible the warrior needed food and water of any kind. The teen forced himself on his legs and resumed walking. At times like this, he wished he still had a scouter as it would be easier to avoid the troublesome beasts. However, the monsters weren't his only problem. The heat from the nearby sun took its toll on the young warrior. He dragged his feet across the wasteland while his brown tail hung limp behind him. His eyes were slowly shutting down when a tremor caught his attention.

The teen lost his balance and fell. Upon falling to the ground, he slammed his head against the rock and instantly lost consciousness. His body rolled down and crashed into a stone wall. The second impact woke him up. He moaned out of pain because of an intense headache. However, as he looked around, he noticed an entrance to the cave. He got up and realized it was a deep cavern. His ears twitched, hearing heavy footsteps. Having no other option, he jumped into the dark cave and hid himself. As he lifted his weary head, the warrior saw many small and medium-sized spiders rush somewhere. Once the creatures were gone, the tremors finally stopped.

He remained on his guard for almost five minutes. Once he realized everything was alright, the long-haired warrior relaxed. His black spheres stirred forward and caught a glimpse of the cave. Because of the large hole, the sun's light reached deep within the cavern. What the Saiyan found pleasant was the coolness within the cave. As he walked further, he noticed a small patch of grass. A weak smile appeared on his face. However, it quickly faded as the fatigue caught up with the teen.

The young Saiyan dropped on his back and let out a tiresome sigh. "Finally! I'd probably be a goner if I didn't find this place." He leaned against the cold wall and released a pleasant noise as he closed his eyes.

Now that he had time to relax, he couldn't help but think of his situation. "Because of that moron, I'm stuck on this stupid rock! I swear I'll kill him when I get the chance!" He picked up a rock and angrily threw it against the ground, where it shattered to the tiniest pieces.

His thoughts shifted to the scarred Saiyan. He wondered just how strong Broly truly was. Maybe Paragus lied, but something told him that the silent Saiyan was a force of nature. He wanted to know how the burly teen managed to get so strong while stuck on this rock. Raditz wanted to hold a grudge against the taller male. But then again, Broly was too attached to Paragus and followed orders. The Saiyan gave him food when they first met, even though Broly knew nothing about him.
