Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Tide: Shadow Saiyan ❯ Training... Saiyan Style ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: I don’t own DBZ/GT; it belongs to its creators and owners, not me!!!  Now that the disclaimer is out of the way it’s on to more pressing matters, mainly the story itself since there are no questions.  But before that I would like to give a big thanks to all who have taken the time to review my story and the others I am working on.  There will be another poll at the end of this chapter as well along with a few of the basic questions shortened out. - - - Chapter Three: Training… Saiyan Style As the minutes passed, they turned into hours, which soon turned into days.  The process was gruelingly slow for Lime because of all the untapped and tapped potential conflicting with each other.  Along with the process of healing all that had been damaged and restructuring her internal organs, her bones were becoming thicker and more solid.  Soon after three days her transformation was complete and Shadow could sense an incredible power just arriving on Earth.  It was a power he had felt only once before and that power had belonged to Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan of the current era. “Shawn, what is that incredible power I sense?” asked Lime as she stood up in the nude. Shadow at seeing this had to keep control of his instincts and handed her a set of clothing known as seven dash three slash XF.  It was the same one he was wearing, only fitted and designed for a female hybrid Saiyan. “That Lime would be the power of a Legendary Super Saiyan.  It’s different from Broly though.  This power as a more ancient feel to it, as if whoever it belongs to as been around for a very long time.  Come let us go meet our guest, let us see if it is who I suspect it is,” said Shadow. So they took off, with Lime in Shadow’s arms as she did not know how to fly, yet.  They flew to the area that the Cell Games had taken place at and watched the ship descend and crash into the round, creating a mile wide crater.  As the ship cooled from its entry through the atmosphere the pods door opened and out walked a beautiful Saiyan female.  Her curves were accented perfectly for her to have perfectly toned muscles and yet make it look feminine.  Her hair cascaded halfway down her back in a blackish-brown-red tint.  Her face was unscarred as well as her front torso.  It was her arms, legs, and back that were scarred, but most of them were hidden by her armor. “Welcome Eclipse, welcome to Earth, now what are you doing here?  Why are you here?” asked Shadow suspiciously. “I am here to thank you hybrid; you freed me from my immortal curse.  I am mortal once again and I am here to offer my services to you against your enemies.  Besides we may also get a chance to get to know each other on a more personal level,” said Eclipse earning a snarl from Lime. “Leave my mate alone!!  He’s mine and nobody else’s, understand?!” snapped Lime venomously. “I see the hybrid chose wisely, seeing as he chose you for his mate.  Besides I don’t want him as my mate, he is my descendant.  What are your names?” asked Eclipse. “I am known by many names Tempest, Ashura, Shawn, and Shadow Moon of the Moon Clan.  I have the Scar of Exilement, given to me by my father Kakarot Son of the Son Clan a.k.a. Goku Son of the Son Clan.  He has rejected much of his Saiyan heritage and has lived with his mate so long she has him wrapped around her fingers in a tangled web of lies and deception.  So much so, that even some of his former allies have turned against him.  He follows Kakonorot’s teachings; the Son Clan was the original clan that supported the Saiyan/Tuffle hybrid,” explained Shadow. “So he is the traitor.  Truthfully though I can’t see why Kakarot’s allies would turn against him.  They are humans whom he must have grown up around to side with them and them him.  So tell me who would have enough strength and enough power to turn against Kakarot?” asked Eclipse. “That would be simple Prince Vegeta of the Saiyan Race, Prince Mirai of the Saiyan Race, Prince Trunks of the Saiyan Race, and Prince Vegeta’s mate Bulma Briefs, CEO and now owner of Capsule Corporation.  He is much stronger than Kakarot, but as yet to realize it as he is constantly training and teaching his offspring about the Saiyan Race in anyway he can,” said Shadow as Eclipse nodded knowing that the only reason she had been banished from Vegeta-sei was because when she powered up she became uncontrollable and nearly unstoppable. “Very well, but you should know that you are also a Royal Saiyan.  I am the daughter of King Vegeta the first’s sister, who mated and bonded with a third class Saiyan named Kage meaning Shadow on this planet.  Ironic is it not that you would choose a name that in the Saiyan language is feared and honored at the same time?  But back to the topic, you are also a descendant of the Royal Saiyan lineage, but because of my great nephew the lineage was hidden and they were known as third class and second class Saiyan’s.  This was done because of my sudden increase in power and my going berserk, completely out of control, nearly destroying the planet and because my great nephew despised them and me.  So when I regained consciousness I left only enough evidence that I had been killed my own uncontrollable power.  When I landed on the planet Darkronia, I was cursed with immortality until one day I could hear the anguished cry of my descendant.  I thought I would live until the end of time itself until I heard your cry and remembered a legend passed down to each Royal Saiyan,” explained Eclipse. “The legend of the Shadow Saiyan,” said Shadow. “Yes, it is said that one day a member of the Saiyan race would one day become stronger than normal Super Saiyan’s.  Stronger than the legendary Mystic Saiyan, he or she would be the legendary Shadow Saiyan,” said Eclipse.  “However there was a catch to this, no pure blood Saiyan could ever become a Shadow Saiyan.  Only a hybrid could become one and there are only six hybrids in existence to this day.  You, her, Kakonorot, Prince Trunks, Prince Mirai, and one other I don’t know of, but his presence is on this planet.” “That would probably be my little brother.  He has devoted himself to my mother and father completely, swearing to do as he was told.  My mother is very influential when she is angry,” explained Shadow.  “It’s a weapon that even  Prince Vegeta fears while a Super Saiyan, the Frying Pan of Doom, made of a metal that is strong enough to leave a bump on a Saiyan’s head.  Those of us who have been exposed to it have developed a natural ability to instantly flee at the mere mention of it.  It may be a bit cowardly, but it’s smart and healthy.” Eclipse nodded understanding that anything strong enough to cause a Saiyan to fear it, deserved to be run away from and despised.  For nothing in all of Saiyan history aside from Saiyan metal was strong enough to harm a Saiyan.  However since she knew that a mere human could warp and control a full blooded Saiyan to her will, she would have to be careful. - - - Elsewhere Mirai had finally come out of his regeneration tank and found his mother was out of the critical stages of her healing.  He found his father in one as well with a scar across his right arm running the width of it and part way up his arm as well.  He went to his room and found it trashed and the only outfit not completely destroyed was the one he had hidden in the handle of his sword.  Removing it he opened it and found it to be a chest with a completely black outfit: a tank top, tights, socks, boots, gloves, and even a trench coat with a ruby red lining on the edges.  On the right center torso area of the jacket was the crest of the Royal Saiyan’s.  He also found that the blade of his sword and been nicked, dented, scratched, and had pieces of it missing along the center, edges, and base.  However another capsule lying next to the chest that had held his new outfit, opening it he found it was a better, stronger sword.  It wasn’t like his old one at all, it was better, much better, it was a Saiyan Katana. ‘Amazing this sword is as light as a feather yet I can tell it has been crafted perfectly.  This outfit is also very nice as soft as silk, but as tough as Saiyan leather, which is nearly indestructible.  Amazing that this leather would be stronger than Saiyan armor,’ thought Mirai. Suddenly he felt the ki of another Saiyan, only he didn’t recognize the ki, just that it was similar to his own and his fathers ki.  It was also similar to Goku’s but only slightly.  He decided to investigate this later; right now he had to find his brother, his younger self.  True if he was killed he would go on living since he was from an alternate timeline, but it would still be difficult to handle. “Trunks… Trunks, where are you?!” yelled Mirai. “I’m in here you big idiot!  When Kakarot came I suppressed my ki and hid in the laundry.  Did you really think I would just stay in plain sight?” asked Trunks. “No, but Mom and Dad are in the regeneration tanks.  Kakarot and his harpy mate did a number on them.  They even went out of their way to destroy our clothes.  We are going to have to use the prototype capsules that Mom bought from Shadow Enterprises.  She’s been studying them, trying to figure out what makes them so much different from our own.  Apparently these prototype capsules as Mom calls them have a different frequency than normal capsules.  They can hold alien items that our capsules would sooner destroy.  The only exception with ours is the dragon balls and Saiyan armor and scouters,” said Mirai. “Oh, so whoever made these capsules used our design in capsules and merely upgraded them!” exclaimed Trunks thinking of ways to put Capsule Corporation back on top. “No, he completely redesigned the capsules, they are a new generation.  They are more advanced then anything our technology could ever come up with in the current times.  Now back to the subject at hand.  Mainly how we are going to find Gohan and put a stop to Kakarot’s reign.  If we can’t find Gohan then we will have to use all the resources we can pull,” said Mirai. “Okay, but what about getting Broly to help us beat Kakarot?  Give him the option of fighting Kakarot and beating him into the ground,” said Trunks. Mirai just sighed and ignored Trunks as he went to get the other capsules he had hidden within his old jacket which wasn’t destroyed.  Just ripped up, by him, enough to look like it was waiting to be fixed up, which is just what Mirai wanted it to look like.  He found that the black capsule case was still in place where he put it.  Removing it he found the three capsules with a letter on each one for each member of his family.  He even had one marked with a question mark for his future mate. “Here pipsqueak put this on,” said Mirai tossing the capsule to him. - - - When Lime, Eclipse, and Shadow arrived back at his home he contacted Muri on New Namek and instructed him to gather the dragon balls together. “You have summoned me from slumber, I will grant three wishes and three wishes only.  What is your first wish?” asked Paroonga. “Bring the Saiyan’s named Keino and Turles back to life on Earth,” said Shadow in Namekian. “It is done, what is your second wish?” asked Paroonga. “Unlock their true potential, destroy whatever blocks their power,” said Shadow. “It is done; their true potential and power have been unlocked.  Now what is your final wish?” asked Paroonga. “Simple, give every Saiyan that is on my side the micro-biotechnology installed in them to hide their ki from those who don’t have it.  Oh and you might want to take a vacation,” said Shadow as Paroonga growled and completed his wish and then vanishing. “What was that all about Shawn?” asked Lime. “Oh, I wished a Saiyan that attempted to help Eclipse after she had gone berserk but was killed for it.  You may remember him eclipse as he was the one that you were to mate and bond with if you hadn’t been raped by Konorot, Kakonorot’s ancestor.  You fortunate not to bear his children, but when you did bear a child, it was a clone of your DNA alone.  That is how you had descendants, most of us up to my grandfather were clones of your DNA, including my grandfather, except he found a mate and had my father and my uncles.  Then my father had me and my brother, however there are a few problems, stop me if I’m wrong,” said Shadow. “You’re not wrong, except that your grandfather wasn’t a clone.  Your great grandfather mated with a woman named Fuchsia,” said Eclipse. “Oh, my mistake, but now let us go see if Keino and my Uncle Turles are here yet,” said Shadow as he heard screams of terror from his workers as Turles and Keino entered the main office with the head of security on the ground behind them unconscious.  “Speak of the devil; welcome Keino, Uncle Turles, welcome to my home.  How would you two like to have some revenge?” “I would like revenge spawn of Kakarot!” snarled Turles. “I don’t care for revenge, all I want is to return to the after life and search for Eclipse,” said Keino. “Then look no further Keino, she is here,” said Shadow as Eclipse showed herself and the two embraced each other.  “Now reveal the truth Eclipse or I will kill you myself.  Do you truly have descendants, are you truly a Royal Saiyan, answer me now!” “So you saw through that lie, no I have no descendants, you’re descended from Saiyan Elites.  I was cursed with immortality and banished from the home world.  It was ten years after I had been banished that I learned that Keino had been executed by my adopted father, Vegetoa.  I was abandoned by my parents as an infant and found by then Prince Vegetoa.  I grew up as a member of the Royal family and my adopted grandfather King Veneto had given me the official title of Royal Elite seeing as how I could never take the throne.  Now when Keino and I fell in love I had anger my adopted father to the point that he stripped me of my Royal Elite title and cast me into the ranks of the third class Saiyan's hoping to cause me to see the light as he put it.  I apparently didn’t as I was then banished from all ranks and eventually he came to kill me as I had angered him.  That was when I first transformed into a Super Saiyan, however it was different from a normal Super Saiyan.  My power was far stronger at a level one; it was that of an Ultra Saiyan Two.  I was out of control and so it was regretfully a full moon that night and I transformed loosing all control I had on myself.  I could see and remember everything that happened, but I couldn’t control myself so I was cursed with immortality by a Holy Saiyan.  I had killed my father and my brother whom I had grown up with was sympathetic for me, so he banished me from the home world and the last I heard was him calling out to all that he had vanquished the mighty beast as it had depleted its power and was weaker than a third class Saiyan,” explained Eclipse. “I see… then lets prepare for battle,” said Shadow as he led them to the underground part of his home that was the training facility.  “Welcome to my training facility, I train here everyday and everyday I become stronger.  You will train here to control your powers and to become stronger.  You have one and half days to train here afterward you will train in a more intense and dangerous room, one which resides in another dimension all together.” It started out simple with a quick warm up of all of them versus Shadow.   He was easily able to fend them off, but soon in a matter of moments he was able to gain the upper hand on all of them and was currently beating them to a living pulp. “You know boy you will wish you had never crossed me!” said Turles as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and flew straight at Shadow only to fell a hand slip around the front of his throat. “If this is the best you have Turles, then I suggest you train constantly and get better.  I am in no mood to be wasting my time on you.  Now each of you power up to your maximum and attack me with every technique you have, whether it is honorable or not, dirty or clean, sloppy or controlled!” roared Shadow as he launched Turles right back at the group. Lime and Eclipse were the only ones thinking with their heads and not charging him blindly.  However it seemed as though Eclipse and Lime were wrong about Turles and Keino as they slammed their knees into his gut and then blasted him in the face.  But they were wrong as they were each slammed against each other and then launched into the floor. So Lime and Eclipse charged Shadow as he seemed distracted and launched blasts at his groin and face at the same time.  However Shadow caught each blast and threw them back at them.  As they all grouped back together they decided to attack as one.  But before they could do that they were broken apart and fighting Shadow one on one and all at once.  He moved so fast that he could fight one of the one on one for a couple of minutes and then another and then he could be fighting them all at once and still have the upper hand. “If this is your best then you’re weaker than I originally gave you credit for.  Now I have been using only an eighth of my true strength and power.  Look how easily I’ve beaten you with just this much, now begins the true fight, bring out your inner most desires, that reflect upon fighting and battles, bring forth your rage and attack me!” yelled Shadow as he smashed his fist into Turles’s face, his knee into Eclipse’s gut, his elbow into Keino’s (it’s pronounced, Kay-no, for all who wondering) and his foot into Lime’s midsection. “It would be a lot easier if you would quit trying to kill us!” growled Lime. “Maybe, but there are only a few ways to get stronger: one you fight, win or lose you will be stronger.  Two you train like King Vegeta, constantly improving your techniques and weaknesses.  And finally you are brink of death and survive long enough to naturally heal or be healed.  Those are how normal Saiyan’s become stronger.  But unlike myself and Eclipse we are not normal Saiyan’s as a matter of fact we are Super Saiyan’s; her the Legendary Super Saiyan and I a normal Super Saiyan.  But I am also a Super Saiyan Two and a Mystic Saiyan, along with an Ultra Saiyan and Ultra Saiyan Two.  Now I am trying to power you each up, especially you Lime, since you are the weakest one here.  NOW ATTACK ME LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!” roared Shadow as Lime had just got tired of Shadow’s lectures and started to fight him, actually giving him a good workout as she became angrier and angrier every time she couldn’t land a punch on him, which finally drove her to the point of smashing her knee into his groin and then smashing him into the ground. “HOW WAS THAT GOHAN!” snarled Lime angrily as she looked down at him only to find that he was glaring quite angrily back at her and in one swift moment he was in her face and beating her like there was no tomorrow. “I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT AGAIN!  NOW YOU SHALL PAY THE PRICE!  SENKO HA!” roared Shadow as the blast collided with her and sent her into the training floor only to have it blast her up into the ceiling and it blast her elsewhere. Shadow then moved to finish his beating of Turles, Keino, and Eclipse, while Lime was being thrown around the room by the reflectors installed all over the room.  For one and quarter days they trained until they could barely move.  They felt like they were going to die, so Shadow let them use the rest of the day they had left to go get healed.  He carried Lime to his personal healing chambers and made sure that she would receive the best treatment he could offer her for him loosing his temper and nearly killing her because of it. - - - Mirai made his way back to the Medical Wing and found his parents out of the chambers drying off.  He ignored them partially and went to make sure the pods were set up again and tossed them each a capsule. “Kakarot and his harpy mate destroyed all our clothing and the GR is practically in ruins.  I picked these up in space and I’ve just recently compared them to Shadow Enterprises’ capsules.  They’re one in the same kind and type.  Apparently this Shadow is a possible descendant of surviving Saiyan’s from the home world.  But to make matters worse I felt the arrival of another Saiyan, the Saiyan was incredibly powerful, more so than even Broly.  I also had Dende contact New Namek to use the Dragon Balls there, but he was told they had been used by one who could speak their language fluently.  But that was all Dende was told; I’m going to assume from what Dende has told me that Kakarot and this Shadow person hate each others guts.  Kakarot’s harpy mate was nearly run through with a sword similar to my old one,” explained Mirai. “I see, well any enemy of Kakarot is an ally of mine.  Let us go see this Shadow so we can find out more about him and what he can offer in dealing with Kakarot,” said Vegeta. “Okay, but we better go as soon as we’ve had a decent meal,” said Mirai as Vegeta nodded and Bulma ordered out not trusting any of the food in the house after Kakarot (Goku) and Chichi attacked them. Three hours later the food arrived and Bulma paid for it and made sure there was enough for her set aside so she wouldn’t starve.  When she had the food brought to Mirai, Trunks, and Vegeta, they started to devour it in no time at all.  When Bulma had finished eating her food just before the Saiyan’s finished, she was alerted by her in home security there was someone at the front door.  She had the visitor let in and had the Digital Guide (DG) show him/her to the kitchen. “Oh hello Videl, how can I help you?” asked Bulma. “Hi Bulma, I came to see Mirai, he left in a hurry a couple of days ago.  He hasn’t called or anything to tell me if anything was wrong,” said Videl. “Well when he arrived home he found us in bad shape.  We had been attacked by someone we thought was friend and we’ve been in the Capsule Corps Medical Wing.  He was also attacked and he only got a little while ago.  He’s been busy fixing the Security Systems and updating the Friendly/Foe lists as well.  What you see us wearing now, are the only clothes we have left that are in halfway decent shape,” explained Bulma. “Okay, I hope everything works out okay, but I just came to ask Mirai something,” said Videl as she turned to leave only to see Mirai behind her smirking in his usual way. “Let’s go somewhere else to talk privately,” said Mirai as Videl nodded. When they arrived to what was left of his room she noticed for the first time ever the remains of a sword smashed into the walls.  She turned to Mirai questioningly only to see him lifting a piece of concrete of his bed with ease. “Sorry about the mess, but I have to have my room completely redone.  Listen I delivered the message Shadow told me to deliver and now I’m about to go into a big battle with the one the message was for.  But I was going to ask you that night if things had not gotten a bit out of control.  Videl Satan will you marry me?” asked Mirai. “Before I answer your question Mirai, my father told me to tell you that he doesn’t want you to date me anymore.  He doesn’t trust you anymore, frankly I don’t think he ever really trusted you, especially with your name being Mirai, meaning future,” said Videl. “Well technically that’s not my name.  My real name is Trunks Briefs, but everyone calls me Mirai so they don’t confuse me with my brother and counterpart.  Videl I’m from an alternate timeline where Eighteen and her brother Seventeen have desolated the planet.  Cell was a Bio-Android from my time as well, but an alternate version of mine.  In that time however I was killed by him along with my mother.  When your father defeated Cell in this time I returned their again and defeated the Androids and Cell in his weaker form.  In this timeline he absorbed Android’s Seventeen and Eighteen to become the monster that wrecked havoc on the world.  If a single cell of him survived he could regenerate himself back to his full body.  I’m telling you this Videl because I think you deserve to know, but also the Cell that was to be born in this time is dead before it could ever wreck havoc upon the planet,” explained Mirai. “Wow this is a lot to take in, but somehow I always had a feeling you weren’t like everybody else.  Not even your father seems to have seen the horrors of what you must have seen,” said Videl. “No, he’s seen worse, just not as much.  When he was younger he was also the cause of a lot of pain and misery.  But since he met my mother, I think he has found an easier way to live with himself.  So what do you say Videl, you’re an adult now, you can make your own choices.  Will you marry me Videl Satan?” asked Mirai. “YES!” cried Videl as she jumped into his arms and kissed him passionately. - - - Meanwhile in space a menace from the past was coming to Earth, coming to collect on an old debt.  It was a debt that went back over three hundred years.  Now it was going to be collected on in five days time using the Earth Calendar anyway. - - - Shadow woke up to the sound of one of his medical staff knocking on his private chambers door.  He had left specific instructions not to be disturbed unless Lime had come out of the Rejuvenation Pod.  If it wasn’t important then someone was going to be in a lot of agony. “WHAT IS IT?!” demanded Shadow angrily as the worker cowered in front of him. “Sir, my superior told me to tell you complications arose during the girl’s rejuvenation and because of which was interfering with his experiments.  So he had the girl removed from the pod and had her terminated,” said the worker. “WHAT!  IF I FIND OUT THIS WAS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE THEN ALL OF YOU WILL BE GOING TO THE NEXT DIMENSION!” roared Shadow as he grabbed the worker and made his way to his private healing chambers.  What he saw was his top scientist had Lime strung up hanging with her arms and legs outstretched with chains as he aimed a weapon at her.  “PYRO SENKA!” The scientist was hit with the shot as Shadow threw the worker out of his way and went and unchained Lime and discovered the settings had been altered. “YOU WILL DIE VERY PAINFULLY TAGE!” said Shadow as he began to squeeze the very life out of Tage only to have Lime wake up and see an enraged Shadow coking the life out of one of his workers. “SHAWN!  NO STOP!” yelled Lime as Shadow looked over to her and threw Tage out of the way. “LIME, YOU’RE ALIVE!  I that scum had killed you!” said Shadow as he enveloped Lime into a hug and kissed her passionately, yet gently.  Afterward he broke the kiss and had Tage and his assistant removed from his and anyone else’s employment. “What did you have done with them Shawn?” asked Lime. “I had them executed under the Galactic Law, section one dash c: No one shall be killed or experimented on without proper paperwork filled out and approved or unwillingly.  If this is to happen and the perpetrators are caught they are to be executed,” explained Shadow.  “Oh and Lime from now call me Shadow.” “Okay, but what about our training?” asked Lime. “Very well the next level of training is going to be unlike anything you will ever have faced in your life thus far.  A few feet in this environment and you will feel like you have gone into the infernos of the forbidden land.  The forbidden land is an area on this planet that is completely off limits to all.  Even I am forbidden to go there as Kami the previous Guardian of the Earth sealed the lands boundaries off and let the Earth do as it pleases to this land.  Over time the darkness and corruption sank into the land and caused it to start to erupt as lava started to pour from the ground itself.  Then the volcanoes emerged and the land became a vision of a post apocalyptic planet.  It is also the site where the barriers separating our dimension from the Dead Zone are the weakest.  It is the strongest focal point to open the Dead Zone,” said Shadow. “So where are we going to train then?  What is the name of this place?” asked Lime as Turles, Eclipse, and Keino came up behind them. “The Hyperbolic Time Chamber also known to others as the Room of Time and Spirit.  This room is where I ascended to Super Saiyan.  One step off the platform where you will rest, feed, bathe, and heal and the gravity shall increase tenfold.  Be ready as we shall enter to right where the platform meets the endless void of the room.  Be sure to never stray too far or you may be lost in there for eternity and go mad.  There are limits to which even our bodies can withstand, so do not be foolish enough to try and become stronger than me.  We will be in this room for two and half days, meaning it will be two and half years for us.  Two and half days equals two and half years in the room.  If you wish to stay behind then do so and train here; but only have two and half days of training instead of two and half years.  Now witness why I am feared and revered by many,” said Shadow as he removed the contacts he had secretly been wearing since his arrival on the planet. His eyes were now completely white and glowing as he summoned forth a technique that was known as Shintrahka.  A technique he had developed to open portals from pure raw ki, which not even he had mastered completely.  It was a technique that only one other had mastered it completely and that was the first Shadow Saiyan.  Then he opened the portal, but it came at a heavy cost, he was drained of half his strength and power.  They entered the portal and when they came out the other side they saw the endless void of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. “Amazing, so this is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, no wonder you called it an endless void.  So exactly how does this work?” asked Lime. “Simple, who out of all of us here do you loathe the most?” asked Shadow. “Um… I’d have to say Eclipse by the way she keeps looking at you, when she already has a mate!” said Lime glaring at her like she wanted to rip her hair out. “Eclipse?” asked Shadow. “That so called Saiyan, she wasn’t even born a hybrid, she was made a hybrid.  Plus the fact that the little tramp keeps staring at Turles like she wants him,” said Eclipse earning a snarl from Lime. “No I keep staring at him because he looks like the one who killed my parents!  He came in and said he had information that might interest them about Shadow!  They let him in and he began to tell them about how he was a mass murderer who was an expert hacker and erased most of his past crimes, but had manipulated his way out prison time by sleeping with the judge.  However when they asked him to show proof of all his accusations his friendly attitude vanished and he reached out and grabbed my father by the face.  He lifted him with so little ease, I can still hear their screams in my dreams at night, how I didn’t do anything to stop them,” said Lime as she began to break down. *Flashback* “You should have just listened to me and accepted what I told you.  But since you wish to defy me then you are not under my protection.  And if you’re not under my protection then you die,” said Kakarot as he started squeezing Mr. Chun’s head. Lime watched in absolute horror frozen in her hiding spot and subconsciously concealing her ki signature as she watched her mother grab a knife and attempt to stab Kakarot in the arm, only to have the knife grabbed from her hand.  She watched her mother turn around in shock on to have the knife jabbed up into her stomach.  She knew the woman to be Kakarot’s wife, as she grabbed more knives and start to jab them into her mother.  Chichi then smiled a cruel sick smile as she grabbed in ax and used the pointed in and slammed it into Mrs. Chun’s chest, piercing her heart.  Her father was screaming in horror and agony as Kakarot started to slowly apply more and more pressure cracking his skull, causing blood to pour out onto his hand as Kakarot then snapped his neck, but not enough to kill him as he started to cause internal injuries, causing blood to come out of his mouth as he coughed.  Then suddenly Mr. Chun’s body went limp as Kakarot threw the body against the wall and they began to vandalize the house.  Suddenly Kakarot’s head went up from his brutal abuse of her mother’s body and Chichi noticed and the two just disappeared as Kakarot put his arm around her.  She left her hiding spot and went up to her room in shock and grief. *End Flashback* “Those miserable bastards killed my parents in cold blood and they were happy to have done it.  I’m going to make that bitch pay for killing my mother!” snapped Lime as her eyes flashed green and her hair turn a reddish yellow for a spilt moment as she kept thinking of it.  Unknowingly she had wandered off into the void as the others were stunned that Kakarot could do such a horrible thing in cold blood. *Inside Lime’s Mind* “What shall you do Lime” asked one voice. “Shall you kill the bitch that killed your mother?” asked another voice. “Will you have your vengeance upon her?” asked a third voice. “Or will you simply let her get away with it?” asked a fourth voice. “I won’t take vengeance, I won’t kill her, I won’t let her get away, I won’t stoop to their level!” said Lime. “Then what shall you do?” asked the four voices together repeating the first voices question. “I shall bring her before the Judge of the Dead.  I will let the Judge of the Dead decide her fate.  I will defend myself against her though,” said Lime as the other voices were suddenly shattered. “Did you really think you could escape me you little slut?  I’ll do what I did to that slut mother of yours to you!  You shall join her in hell!” said Chichi. “NO!  My mother is not in hell!  She was a good and loving woman who never betrayed my father!  You are the one who shall be going to hell bitch!” screamed Lime. “Too bad you won’t live long enough to bear any children from your corrupted womb!  NOW DIE SLUT!” screamed Chichi as she didn’t run Lime though, but her mother.  The image of Chichi running her mother through with the knife repeated over and over again as she just watched helplessly, unable to do anything to help her mother. “NO!” screamed Lime. *Hyperbolic Time Chamber* “NO!” screamed Lime after three days of standing in the intense gravity that had knocked her to the floor and had been crushing her to death.  Suddenly though it seemed to lighten somewhat as a strange new power was unlocked within her.  She felt the transformation as she ascended to the level of Super Saiyan.  She could feel the new found power running through her veins.  The awesome power that was now hers to command, at least for the moment, until she learned how to transform at will.  She suddenly found that she could sense the others ki signatures.  She started to move towards the ki signatures to show them what she had achieved. - - - Shadow was worried he could sense other power levels in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.  Either that meant Kakarot and his team had come into the chamber to train or somebody had wandered into the chamber on accident.  He saw Lime out of the corner of his eye heading towards the house and entrance to the endless void they hid in.  Quickly he fazed out of sight and grabbed Lime from behind and fazed back to his hiding spot. “What’s the big idea in grabbing me like that Shadow?” asked Lime. “I just saved your life Lime!  That is Kakarot’s ki signature.  You won’t be able to sense our ki signatures because of the micro-biotechnology that is in you for being on my side.  It heals any damage done slowly and surely, but it also hides your ki signature from others who don’t know how to access the program installed with the technology.  If you know how then you can sense anybodies ki signature,” said Shadow as he saw Kakarot moving towards them.  “We have to move further into the inferno of this endless void or he will spot us.  Just endure as long as you can, we’ll get out of here.  I’ll tell you the truth right now Lime, with the way he has been acting lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if his insanity, even if it is temporary, has caused him to become much stronger, probably a match for me.” “What will we do if he finds us?” asked Lime. “Then we fight him until we drop dead,” said Shadow as Kakarot turned another way, which made it seem that he was moving away from them.  “He’s going to try and sneak up on us.  He suspects he’s not alone in here.” “Then let’s head up and over him and hope we can train here long enough to at least get strong enough to beat him and any others that are on his side.  If we can’t then we can at least give it our best shot,” said Lime. “Fine, but we better be careful, Kakarot is very resourceful,” said Shadow. - - - Turles, Keino, and Eclipse watched Goten carefully, knowing full well that he was very powerful.  He could give them a challenge if the boy chose to, but they would rather not find out.  So they had fled into the endless void, deeper and deeper they went, the gravity, heat, cold, and humidity increasing the further they went.  It got harder and harder to breathe; it was getting to the point where they could barely see Goten following them.  They had long since lost sight of the structure where the entrance and exit was located at.  They became increasingly stronger as the days went by, which soon turned into weeks and then months.  Goten wouldn’t stop following them and they couldn’t figure out why until they realized he was following their scent.  So they split up and went three different ways causing him to have to choose which one he would have to go after. - - - Kakarot himself was using the same trick Goten had been using against Eclipse, Keino, and Turles.  However Shadow knew that Kakarot was still following them by their scent and Shadow himself was moving him the way he wanted.  They were heading toward Goten and were going intersect with his path intentionally.  This way it would give the illusion that those that had perished in the chamber were angry with him or at least make him think his greatest enemy had come to get him or come back to get him.  It took Shadow and Lime two days (Hyperbolic Time Chamber days, not normal days) to get close enough to Goten, since Kakarot seemed to be moving like a predator stalking its prey. “Alright show yourself!  I know your there, I can smell your wretched scent.  Show yourself and explain why you are in here,” demanded Goten. “Why should I show myself to a weakling like you?” asked Shadow in Saiyago. “WEAKLING!  I’ll have you know I am not a weakling!  I am an Elite, one of the best at that!” said Goten. “An Elite?  I thought you were the spawn of that third class imbecile Kakarot.  Since you haven’t taken the trials yet, you are a third class imbecile as well!” replied Shadow again using the Saiyan tongue dialect. “Show yourself and I shall prove to you, that I am an Elite!” said Goten. “No, I think not, I have no quarrel with you boy.  My quarrel is with your treacherous father and mother, along with one other.  Do you truly think you can defeat me though?  One who is the strongest on this planet?” called out Shadow as he saw Goten’s temper begin to boil. “WHO ARE YOU?!” demanded Goten. “Tempest Rage.  The rage that shall bring forth a storm that shall leave destruction in its wake.  The world shall feel the power of Tempest Rage and it shall be cleansed of your father and mother’s ways… for a time,” said Shadow as he fired a small blast hitting Goten in the back of the head as he and Lime ran further into the endless void where Shadow could sense the others at. By the time they got to the others they were clutching their throats as it was extremely hard for them to breathe in such humidity and heat.  They were sweating very badly, but Shadow could tell they had become stronger.  Two of them were on the verge of ascending to Super Saiyan.  While another was on the verge of ascending to another level that Shadow could only say was a combination of two power types combined together.  Lime herself was on the verge on ascending to the next level of Super Saiyan, as she could easily ascend to Ultra Saiyan and Ultra Saiyan Two. “Shadow what are we going to do?  We know that opening that portal took a lot out of you.  If we could get to the door we could escape,” said Turles. “True, but the Namek may well be on Kakarot’s side.  If that’s the case then we have to be careful.  The Namek is stronger than a Super Saiyan.  We would have one hell of a battle to put up with if we had to fight him.  We have to use a portal to escape, a side effect of that technique those is once it has been used to open a way into another dimension, we have to use the same way we came in to get out.  I can easily reopen it again with just a slight bit of energy.  The reason I like that technique is because it’s a two way portal opener.  I can open a portal to Other World and use a lot of energy in doing so, but to get back I can use a little bit of energy and not be so drained,” explained Shadow as he and the others started making their way back towards the structure that they were to stay at, but thanks to Kakarot and Goten’s little excursion into the chamber they couldn’t. Once they made it within a hundred yards of the structure they could see Kakarot and his harpy mate explaining things to Goten.  They would have to wait until they could get Kakarot, Goten, and the harpy away from the structure or at least knocked out long enough to escape. “Well it seems we’re going to have our hands full.  I hate to use this capsule, but it’s an emergency,” muttered Shadow. “What are you going to do Shadow?” asked Lime. “I’m going to knock them out with sleeping gas specifically designed for anyone with humanoid DNA, including Saiyan’s and humans.  The effects will take at least five minutes to take hold, and should last about one hour.  Though it takes the gas ten minutes to dissipate, leaving us with only about forty-five minutes.  Forty to get through the portal and close it and five to make sure it can’t be reopened from inside this chamber,” said Shadow as he opened the capsule and threw one of the grenades that held the sleeping gas into one of the pillows behind Kakarot. After five minutes the three were out cold, but they still had to wait for the gas itself to dissipate, which was another ten minutes.  After fifteen minutes of waiting Shadow reopened the portal and had the others hurry through the portal.  Once they were all through Shadow sent a blast into the portal which caused it to collapse in on itself thousands of times over since time in the tunnel the portal created was slower and faster then normal at the same time. “Get to the rejuvenation chambers quickly, time is almost up!  We have less than one day before we have to fight Kakarot and his group of warriors.  Now I’m going to go get the last members of our group and hopefully one of them one try and kill me.  I’m glad I made arrangements with Enma to make sure he doesn’t come back until I come for him,” said Shadow as he disappeared. - - - Meanwhile at Capsule Corps. Mirai and Videl had broken the news to everyone about the two of them.  Though by Saiyan standards the two were unofficially married when Vegeta acknowledged their relationship, they were still going to marry Earthling style and Saiyan style. “Alright boy, enough stalling we’ve had plenty of time to make sure this place is up and running again for Bulma’s protection.  We even got some training in, now let’s go see this Shadow before Kakarot comes back!” said Vegeta. “Why King Vegeta I didn’t know you cared!” said Shadow in mock affection using the Saiyan dialect which caught his attention immediately. “YOU!” said Vegeta shocked that he didn’t sense him coming. “I’ve come to offer you a proposition King Vegeta.  Since you’re the last true full blooded Saiyan of the Royal Saiyan’s then you are king.  But how would you like to fight Kakarot’s group of warriors and prove once and for all that you are not a weakling?” said Shadow in English.  “Oh and Videl, since you are going to marry Mirai here, you have the option of becoming a hybrid just like him as a gift from Shenlong.” “You mean I could have the same strength and power as Mirai?” asked Videl. “Yes, but be careful this power is no joke, nor is this gift to be wasted.  If you accept you can never go back to the way you were before you met Mirai.  You would forever be a hybrid, like him and a few others.  You would be the new generation of Saiyan’s, you would be apart of the generation I should say, said Shadow. “I accept,” replied Videl as the pain began to over run her body and she screamed. “It is all part of the transformation, now Vegeta do you accept my offer or not?” asked Shadow turning to face him. “How could I refuse?  On one hand I fight my rival and risk loosing with shame and torn honor.  On the other hand I risk much more, but have better odds.  I accept your offer and so do my sons,” said Vegeta. “Good, go to my home Shadow Enterprises.  They will be expecting you,” said Shadow. “Where are you going boy?” asked Vegeta irritated. “I’m going to go get Broly; I attempted to make a deal with him a few years ago.  I give him someone worse than Kakarot, someone who insults all Saiyan’s, including himself and he gets to have some fun.  He will only be alive for the fight though, after the fight is finished its back to Hell, if he accepts that it is,” said Shadow only to have King Enma contact him at that very moment and explain to him that Kakarot had gotten Broly onto his side by telling him there was another Legendary Super Saiyan coming to fight.  “Never mind, Broly refused my offer.  He’s on Kakarot’s side now.  Let’s go we have to hurry, bring your mate Vegeta, you too Mirai!” So they hurried out of Capsule Corps towards Shadow Enterprises at their top speed, without leaving an energy trail behind or showing an aura.  When they arrived at Shadow Enterprises they were greeted by Shadow’s staff. “Sir, I regret to inform you that your guests have nearly killed half of your staff for some rather crude comments.  The rest of wish that you could deal with them so we can get back to work and help keep this building and business intact,” said a worker. “Fine, have the ones responsible for provoking them locked in the brig.  I don’t want to have to deal with this again for at least another six months understood?” snapped Shadow. “Understood sir, on another note, the guest rooms you ordered prepared have been done so and swept for an bugs.  The results came up negative, we even took the liberty to double check the other guest rooms already in use and your private chambers sir, and they all came up negative.  However the training room was discovered to have at least sixty-nine bugs, or at least the remains of the bugs that survived anyone using the training room.  We rescanned it afterward to discover all other bugs were non-functional and their circuitry fried beyond repair, we have cleaned the room out and it is currently clean,” said the worker. “Good, now get lost, I have more important matters to attend to, have the report on my office desk by next week.  Understood?” asked Shadow. “Understood sir, by the way you’ve received a call from the Home Office, the board of directors is getting worried that you setting up an office here on this planet will make profits fall,” said the worker bravely. “Tell the board that they are to enter code thirteen x,” said Shadow as the worker paled and ran off to do as it was told. “What was all that about Shadow?” asked Bulma. “Business Politics, the board has been trying to get me to resign my position as owner, president, CEO, and head of the board of directors for about three years.  I’ve grown tired of them so the are going to be given one of two options.  One they accept the retirement package with their limbs still intact and them still alive.  Or they refuse and are executed for embezzlement of company funds,” said Shadow as Bulma looked horrified. “You actually execute your workers?” asked Bulma. “Yes, it is part of the Intergalactic Business Laws, all inadequate workers are given two choices, take the package or be executed, sometimes though a third option is given where they are transferred to an area where they will do little harm to the company.  I’ve just recently had my head scientist and his assistant executed for breaking the Intergalactic Business Science Laws,” said Shadow as Bulma glared at him.  “I don’t like doing it, but sometimes they deserve it, especially the scientist and his assistant.” “Oh and what did he do…” said Bulma as she trailed off seeing the technology for the first time that was used in Shadow’s company. “Never mind, you are about to meet my group of hand picked warriors.  The first is my mate Lime Chun, a hybrid like Videl.  Her parents are dead, killed by Kakarot and his harpy mate.  The second is my uncle, Turles, you may know him Vegeta; he is Kakarot’s twin brother.  He loathes Kakarot just has much as you do.  Third is Keino, recently brought back to life he is the mate of the Legendary Super Saiyan.  In that I mean the original, he is an Ancient Elite Saiyan.  Fourth is Eclipse, the original Legendary Super Saiyan herself, she is the adopted daughter of King Vegetoa.  Then last there is me Shadow Moon of the Moon Clan, given the scar of Exilement when I was boy.  My mother is a manipulative woman and will do anything to anyone if she believes they are worthy or unworthy to live or be injured or healed.  My father is a Saiyan and a third class one at that; he and I are not on very good terms.  Now that the introductions have been taken care of let us prepare for battle, rest up, get healed, feed, do whatever except train,” said Shadow as he grabbed Lime and disappeared to his private chambers, but not before leaving a warning that anyone who disturbed him would be going to the next dimension. Vegeta and Bulma were shown to their room, while Mirai and Videl refused to leave each other, so they were given a room together as well.  Eclipse and Keino were already sharing a room, while Turles just shrugged and went to his room to rest, while Trunks was given a room where he had a game system he could play.  But he didn’t, he went to bed. - - - A/N:  Well that’s it for chapter three, sorry it took so long but school just started back up for me.  I mentioned before the first and second polls about how I’m developing a prequel to the prequel.  Well you’ll just have to wait a bit longer for them.  I’m too busy writing this story and another I just recently became inspired to write.  I apologize in advance for the time its going to take to finish this story.  The dreaded Writer’s Block is taking hold of me, so I’m going to give you a double poll: Poll #1: Should Chichi still die?  Yes or No Should Android Eighteen still die?  Yes or No Should I just give up on this story yet?  Yes or No Should Goku still die?

A/N:  I’d like to give my thanks to the one who pointed out that I spelt Kakarot and Saiyan wrong in earlier chapters.  The problem has bees fixed and now I must say I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t receive half as many reviews in Chapter Three as I did in the previous one.  But oh well, I’ve compiled most if not all the information in your reviews together.  From this chapter forward for about one to three chapters after this one it’s going to mainly focus on Shadow’s team versus Kakarot’s team.  Thanks. - Shadow Kage
