The Shadow Warrior (Dragon Ball Z)

Chapter 8: Reunion

Rey's POV

Musso ran up to his master, Gael, and gave him a quick hug. "I'm glad you're alive. I thought you were gone."

He smiled. "I'm glad I am too. Zen filled me in on some things. I can't believe you're actually The Chosen One! I had a hunch you were going to be important someday. Zen found me and filled me in on stuff after you summoned the portal in my cell. So thank you as well."

"It was my pleasure." Musso smiled.

I looked over to see Midnight to see her walking to her master. "Amias?"

"Well I never thought I'd see you again." He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her.

She first hesitated, and then hugged back.

"I know I was never a good father figure to you, but I did my best to raise you." Amias smiled. "And you've become a beautiful young saiyan I always knew you would become."

"Thanks I guess." Midnight paused. "How did you get out?"

"A portal opened on my wall so you know I was quick to make an exit." Amias smiled. "It was apparently on the other side of Gael's cell so I could get in the portal."

"You are the most docile saiyans I've ever seen." Zen joked.

"We're gentle now, but wait till you see us fight." Gael laughed. "You'll change your mind."

"I have, and Musso and Rey are quite aggressive fighters, so you have a point." Zen nodded.

"What about Midnight?" Amias asked. "Doesn't she train with you as well?"

"I don't train Midnight that much." Zen stuttered, like he was hiding something.

"You stopped training Midnight?" Amias turned to her.

"I did, but I'm getting back into it." Midnight quickly stated.

"She's been acting. You know as Taylor Momsen, the Earth name you gave her when you first went there. She's been mostly focusing on that." Musso spoke.

"But she's done some training recently and she's still got it." Musso added.

"Good, cause I need some good training sessions cause I want to fight in that tournament coming up on Earth" Amias smiled. "Heard there are some other saiyans in it as well."

"That will be interesting." Gael added. "I'm also in it. Are you guys in it?"

"Yeah! Well at least Musso and I are." I responded. "Midnight is still thinking about it."

"Yeah. I will." I shrugged.

"There are tons of different fighting events, there's got to be something you'll like." Zen handed Midnight a scroll.

"Alright, thanks." She responded. "I'll do the women's match the junior's match."

"And the immortal one." Zen spoke. "I am registering you as elite with Musso."

"What?" Midnight asked, confused.

I was confused too. Why register her as an elite and not me?

"You know why." Zen spoke quietly. "That limits you to three events, so that works."

I turned to Amias who looked at the scroll and rolled it out. "This competition is going to take over a month! There are tons of names entered."

"Yeah. It's the first official time the other universes will have contact with each other. But be quiet about it. We are not telling them about the other universes." Zen spoke.

"Why?" Musso asked.

"And why now?" Midnight added.

"I do not know." Zen paused. "The higher immortals decided to do it. And I'm not sure why. Not sure if they're just stir crazy or what."

"I sense something is not right." Midnight spoke quietly while the others were still talking.

"Why?" I asked.

"It could be some plot to take all the saiyans out since they will be in one place." She paused. "Or take out most of the universes fighting force if they really wanted."

"Or find us." Musso whispered to Midnight.

What did Musso mean with that? What do they have in common besides being saiyans?

"I am one of the three." Midnight whispered in my ear. "I am The Shadow Warrior. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret that I shouldn't even tell you."

"I won't." I promised. "Fuck the legend. You guys are my best friends, and nothing will come between us. Even some legend that says you're truly someone completely different. I know who you really are. And nothing will change that."
