"Yes, this is perfect! YES! I have done it! I will have my ultimate revenge on that damn Oozaru and all his people!"
A demonic laugh pulsed through the palace. His gaurds could only guess what he was concocting beyond the gargantuan throne room doors.
The sky was turning a rosy red to the east. Morex arose from his slumber, refreshed as always. He was one of the few Saiya-Jin who actually obeyed his body clock. He got up from his tree, stretched his hard muscles, then trekked up to the top of the Troscan Valley, to see if Martek would actually come back at sunrise. When he reached the top, the sky was beginning to turn an orange color, the sun was just about to break the horizon. Martek was nowhere to be found, nor was Lexan. Morex gave them more time, it wasn't like he was going to do anything to Martek if he was late. He looked back down the hill, still covered in shadows. Everyone else was sleeping peacefully, not bothered by the apparrent tardiness of the Legend. The sun had no punctured the horizon completely, nearly three quarters of it were visible and still, no Martek. Morex was getting impatient. He had so many question about what happened between him and the Uber Oozaru. The sun was completely up now. It shone with like that penetrated Morex like a sword through paper. He was engulfed in its light and quickly sought to cover his eyes. When he managed to adapt enough to see properly, he scanned the valley, for signs of anyone.
"Looking for us, Morex?"
Morex jumped around, only to find Martek, with Lexan in his arms, sleeping soundly. Martek walked to a nearby tree and laid her down, then returned to Morex.
"How is everyone?" Martek inquried.
"Sleeping like children, and dying with curiosity. Where were you?"
"I'll tell you that when hell freezes over."
"Damn you."
Martek gave off a little laugh, "Yeah, yeah, I know."
"So what was that meeting with the Uber Oozaru all about?"
Martek remembered suddenly, noon. He had some time before then, so he took it in stride, "Oh, nothing really, just a matter between the Legend and his Father."
Morex couldn't believe him, but he could see that he wasn't going to get anything else out of Martek. Martek just smiled nonchalantly, then turned to the sky, as if pricked by a red hot thorn. He looked directly into the sunlight, his eyes, unaffected by the stinging light. Something was wrong, very wrong. He could see small black dots forming all over the surface. He knew sunspots were common, but these were no sunspots. Martek got a feeling that made his skin crawl. The hair on his chest and arms stood on edge, and he glred into the sun as he clenched his teeth.
"Something isn't right." He said through his teeth.
Morex could see that he was quite stirred. He tried to see what Martek was looking at, only to be blinded by the sun's light.
"I gotta tell the Uber Oozaru, give Lexan my love when she wakes."
"Why don't you give it yourself?"
Martek turned around and saw Lexan walked up to them.
"Martek, what's wrong?" Lexan asked.
"Uhh.. I have matters with the Uber Oozaru that are most urgent, I must go immediately."
Lexan saw that he was obviously disturbed by something. She wanted to know exactly what.
"Alright then, I'm coming with you."
Martek was shocked, could he actually say no? He fumbled for words as they all rushed into his head at once. Should he make an excuse? Should he lie? Should- NO. None of that, he would let her go to find out his business.
"...Alright." Martek said with a heavy sigh.
Lexan smiled wide and gave Martek a hug, "Alright! Let's go."
They both mutually agreed to let Martek carry Lexan, it was the fastest way. He swooped he off her feet and away he went yet again.
"Sir! The Legend is heading back to the Northern Kingdom, Sir!"
"Is he alone?" The Mercenti demanded.
"No, Sir. One other, Sir."
"Power level."
"Calculating..., seventy million, six hundred thousand, three hundred and twenty eight, Sir."
"So it's a Saiya-Jin this time."
"Sir!" A Yujin burst through the control room doors.
"What."
"Two things, Sir!"
"Continue."
"One, the plants have broken the ten thousand, mature Saiya-Jin barrier, all SSJ4. Two, the sun is emmitting unusual radiation patterns, Sir!"
"The sun is not of my concern, mobilize the forces immediately!"
"Sir, yes, Sir!"
"Fantis!"
"Sir!" The Yujin at the radar screen answered.
"Keep a running trace on the Legend, make sure you know where he is at all times."
"Yes, Sir!"
"Uber Oozaru, Your Excellency, The Legend to see you, along with his betrothed." A Silver Oozaru called out.
"Bring them in." The Uber Oozaru replied morosely.
"Uber Oozaru." Martek said, kneeling on one knee. Lexan did the same, "Father, there is something wrong with the sun. It feels... tainted." Martek cringed as he remembered the feeling.
"I have felt it. It is Learisto. He is trying to trick us. He will attack the planet directly. Pay no attention to his diversion."
"Yes, Father."
"So, this is the one, your immortal companion." The Uber Oozaru looked to Lexan fatherly. Lexan smiled and bowed her head.
"Yes, Uber Oozaru, I am she. I will do my best to serve your son."
The Uber Oozaru smiled and said, "Thank you, my daughter. I recognize the bond your souls have made with one another, and I see it as good. I call you daughter, through this bond."
Lexan's soul nearly jumped out of her body she was so happy, "Yes, Father." She said with much joy in her heart. It was official. In Saiya-Jin terms, they had made an Defrin in the ancient Saiya-Jin tongue, or in the vernacular, a vow or pact, traditionally made at weddings as we call them. Though a formal wedding, this was not, a bond of souls recognized by the Uber Oozaru himself would surely suffice.
"Now, my daughter, I must ask you to leave. Your assistance will be needed at a later time."
"I will be ready." She said strongly. She rose from her spot and gave Martek a hug before flying away.
"Masik, Torak."
"Majesty!" Two Silver Oozaru's answered and bowed low.
"Escort her back to her friends and if it proves necessary, protect them with your lives."
"For the Uber Oozaru!" They said in unison and flew out to meet Lexan.
"Now, my son, you must ascend to your greatest strength. We, as Oozaru's, are prepared for this moment, for it is written in the ancient texts, 'The bretheren of the Saiya-Jin will give there strength to the Legend, and he will bring them safety.'"
Martek nodded. He clenched he fists at the sides of his body, and he began. His aura crackled to live and it reverberated with the energies of over two hundred Oozarus in that room. He gave a war cry as his power increased exponentially, and showed no signs of stopping. His aura burst suddenly as he ascended to seven. In this state, the hair turns to an orange color, as does the body hair. A blue strip is added down the center of the head and horizontal lines are created under the eyes. He continued his efforts. Crimson, Saiya-Jin blood began flowing from his hands, his anger increased tenfold as his energy increased without ending. Again the aura burst with more power than the last. The ceiling of the throne room cracked and stalactites began to fall. He ascended to the eighth level. the hair color changed yet again, to a solid, deep blue, but instead of a spiked, electrified SSJ3 hair, it was flowing as it seemed be shocked with energy. Persisted he did as he yelled even harder. The blood from his hands flowed like a stream, but hinder him this did not, instead, it fueled him. Chunks of the ceiling were falling from the sky, only to be incinerated by Martek's aura. It crackled and bursted a third time, His level now, nine. His hair was now back to a spiked style, metallic grey hair, with a black stripe down the center. His eyes turned a pitch black, darker than cloud filled midnight in the Swamplands of Myton, covered with its cloud-like fog in thickness and trees that covered the sky, no matter the time of day, similar to that of a cypress swamp. Black electricity seemed to flow up and down his person as he reached down into the bowels of his heart, bringing forth the epitome of his hatred, his malice, his bloodlust. In a howling, blood curling rage, his aura exploded yet again. A black tornadoe swirled about Martek, filling him with dark energies and destroying his sanity.
Then finally, it stopped. It all stopped. The room was filled with a deafening silence. Oozarus lay dead on the ground, having given their energy to Martek. The dust finally settled, and there, before the Uber Oozaru, glowed a black light. From this black light, came two piercing, crimson eyes, and from it all, Martek, the Legend of the
Saiya-Jin, stepped out from the darkness. His aura now flowed with black light, his eyes glowed crimson, like that of his Father, his entire body was a deathly black, and in his mind, he knew that he would be the one to bring this demon, Learisto, to his knees, and it would be by his hand, Learisto would finally perish.
A demonic laugh pulsed through the palace. His gaurds could only guess what he was concocting beyond the gargantuan throne room doors.
The sky was turning a rosy red to the east. Morex arose from his slumber, refreshed as always. He was one of the few Saiya-Jin who actually obeyed his body clock.
