The Saiyan

Chapter One

I foolishly stand here, frozen in place as I watch in awe as the massive entity draws closer. How was he able to create such a thing? It dwarfs buildings in size and burns of pure energy. The dark red globe swirls wildly as sharp winds lift cars and rips stories off of buildings before being drawn into the mass of destruction. Trees are uprooted with ease as landscapes are wiped clean before its might. It's the largest amount of concentrated energy I have ever seen and its heading right for me, I'm all that stands between it and the Earth now. My allies have fallen, I am alone in this fight for survival and I must prevail...somehow.

As the ball closes within three feet of me, I can see the innocent people that have been pulled into it. Billions will die if I can't stop it from piercing the Earth and destroying the planet, all to the amusement of the sadistic monster that has unleashed this among us. I steady myself and release a mighty roar as the power hidden from within me is freed. My body grows heavier as my muscles increase, an aura of white light bursts from my body as my strength increases ten fold. I reach up to put my palms on the surging mass as it presses into me. The weight is incredible as the energy burns my hands and its winds cut at my body

"Just give up Saiyan! You think you will go down in history as some noble person who stood up to the mighty Freiza and died fighting? No! There will be no memory of you or your actions, this planet will die right along with you. There's nothing you can do against my DeathBall! I have destroyed countless worlds with this technique and soon yours will be added to the list!", he boasts from high above.

"You have to be stopped, and I will be the one to do it Freiza!", I yell back.

"You stupid, stupid monkey...I've heard such nonsense a thousand times and yet here I am, about to kill you all. Maybe turning up the heat will make you mind me better? Let's see."

The ball deepens into a blood red as the intensive force is doubled and it combusts into pure flame. My arms buckle under the weight but I'm able to catch the ball with my chest and shoulders. I stretch out my arms to try to cup the ball but it's just too much. The fire is burning through my shirt as these tornado winds of glass repeatedly cut at my legs. The pressure forces me to drop to a kneel, I don't know how much longer I can do this. It's looking pretty bad here, what else can I do?

"Well, well...is that you kneeling before me Saiyan?", he laughs. "Any last words before I crush you?"

"Just three actually...Kaoken times four!!"

A furious red aura explodes from me as my body doubles in size and my power increases four times that of my maximum level. I'm able to stand and push the flaming mass off me. With a heavy push off the ground I start to fly, pushing the ball back to its master and away from Earth. I'm about twenty-five feet in the air when I hear him, "Well aren't you the crafty little bastard, hiding your true power. Would've been a great move if you were the only one holding back."

"Wait, what?"

I sense his power grow quickly as he lets out a terrible sheik. I can see long thick thunderbolts strike the ground with violet impact. His power continues to grow to ungodly levels as the world itself seems to shake in fear of this terrible being.

"Ah much better, now where was I? Oh yes, that's right. Crushing you."

The ball intensifies again and becomes larger as it quickly forces me back towards the ground. I push with all I have but prove to not be nearly enough as the ball slams me face first into the ground. The cement easily cracks under the force as all I can do even with all my power is get myself into a push-up position as the ball's unforgiving might presses into my back. I'm done. All cards have been played. I have no more tricks and there is no way to stop him. I..have lost.

-Where is your pride dammit?! You are one of the last Saiyans and it's all because of Freiza! He destroyed our home, killed our families, and you're going to let him do it again?! You never got to meet your father, but he was the a proud warrior and it was him who confronted Freiza  before the destruction of our planet! Freiza killed him before turning on our planet. Whatever it is that's holding you back, you need to forget it and fight with every bit of power you have!-

Was that...Vegeta?

"Freiza! I have one question before this all ends...", I yell to him.

"I don't usually do request but what the hell, I'm listening."

"The first Saiyan that challenged you, who was he?"

"Ha, that's what you want to know? He was just some pathetic monkey warrior. Zarbon reported his name as Bardock, and he was the second in a long list of Saiyans killed that day. Now you get to help me complete that list, by dying."

The Earth gives way under me and I fall into the depths of the planet with the ball closer behind. Bardock, my father...a warrior like me fighting to save his people from this tyrant. Fighting to save...me, and you ...killed him?

I feel an anger unlike any I've ever felt, a rage from so deep inside it rips through me like the sharpest knife. I feel a surge of incredible power, watch as my body transforms and transcends into that of a supreme fighter. The rage inside is changing me, forcing its way through every part of me, and it wants out. I curl into a ball in attempt to hold it in but the power refuses to be held any longer. The power is too much, and I feel it slipping...my head jerks up as my last restraint breaks away and the power takes over.
