Dragon Ball: Super and Beyond (OLD VERSION!)

The Tournament Finally Begins

Kuzuku and his two fellow companions passed the preliminaries with flying colors. As they walked out towards the locker rooms, they were stopped by the fighter they were so intrigued by earlier.

"You must be the one that took down that big guy in the first match." Zugo referred to Kuzuku.

"Yeah that's me, and you are the guy that had a rather huge power spike. You know you could of won your matches without severely injuring your opponents"

"I am well aware of that Saiyan. I was doing everyone a favor by showing those poor excuse of fighters that they stood no chance."

"That still doesn't give you the right!" Kuzuku spat as his temper rised

"Oh did I struck a nerve? Pardon me, I guess I could should a bit more consideration to your feelings, cupcake." Zugo mocked. Kuzuku felt like a popped a vain but calmed down instantly.

"You know what talk all you want but when I am kicking your ass around the ring then we'll see who's gonna be talking"

"Hmph sure thing. But I didn't come to this tournament to simply battle it out. I came here looking for someone."

"And who might that be?"

"That is none of your concern now if you excuse me" Zugo said as he took his leave but paused.

"But if I must, I will warn you about one thing. Watch your back because there are some shady people lurking around.". He then disappeared from there sights, leaving behind nothing but air.

"What did he mean by that" Kuzuku thought as he grabbed his chin. He was taken out of his thought when Gohan grabbed his shoulder.

"Lets not worry about that right now. Come on lets meet the others.". Kuzuku nodded and made his way to the gang. When they arrived, Kuzuku was hugged by 21 with joy.

"You were great out there!" 21 complimented

"You think so? I guess all that training paid off." Kuzuku chuckled as he hugged her back. He then heard Elder Kai clear his throat.

"I believe this is the first time we've met Kuzuku."

"Uh yeah but how do you know my name?"

"HeHehehe I've heard a lot about you from Goku. From what I heard you are quite the whippersnapper. But to introduce myself I am known as Elder Kai. The one next to me is the current Supreme Kai who oversees the universe."

"Oh well its nice to meet you." Kuzuku said as he was still holding 21

"Now that introductions are out of the way, I believe you felt that power that was emitted from that Zugo character right?"

"Yeah his power was huge and I don't even think he was serious." Gohan said. Elder Kai nodded and began to explain.

"It seems he is the few remaining lineage of Astackian race. Much like you Saiyans are"

"Astackian?" Vegeta thought

"You see long ago before that terror known as Majin Buu was wrecking havoc, there was another entity that was insanely powerful. In comparison, he would of made Buu who absorbed Gohan and that fusion known as Gotenks look like he was a mere sneeze to a hurricane. He was known as Aereos."

"Aereos was a being of pure darkness. He was born through the many years of mortal activity. All the negative energy from the emotions of mortals compressed themselves and took form. During his reign, he was worshiped as a deity because of his strength. He was so powerful that even I couldn't defeat him in my prime."
