Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Prelude ❯ Conflict ( Chapter 9 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
The light dissapated from everyone's eyes. Martek found himself in Saiya-Jin form, level nine. Tears were pouring from his face like rivers as the salty fluid floated into the emptiness of space. He could not feel his Father anymore. It was like having a section of his mind torn from his head. With piercing eyes he desperately looked from his distance what had happened.
The entire solar system was obliterated. Nothing but ash and some rock floated tranquilly across nothingness. Some left over material of the sun was drifting farther apart as it cooled slowly. There was no life force there anymore. Nothing was left alive, not even the great Uber Oozaru. It is very difficult to understand how an immortal could pass, but I will try to explain it to you using Christian theology. The Uber Oozaru was essential God the 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit.' When Martek became equal to him, it made Martek also, God the 'Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.' The Uber Oozaru and Martek were equal in every possible way, so one of them had the capabiltiy of dying. The Uber Oozaru stood for the ultimate symbol of good, therefore with Martek in a level ten Oozaru form, making him a second ultimate symbol of good. This creates an imbalance, there must be one ultimate symbol of good, and one ultimate symbol of evil, Learisto. Unfortunately, the Uber Oozaru was the one to go. Now, Martek was the ultitmate symbol of good, no matter what his state. For all intents and purposes, he was 'God', and he is now 'Jesus'.
Martek used his mental abilities to stop the Saiya-Jin from floating too far away, he needed to speak to them, to tell them, the Uber Oozaru is dead.
"People of the Planet Saiya-Jin!" Martek howled, all speech stopped among the billions of people.
"I am the Legend of the Saiya-Jin, made from the hand of the Uber Oozaru. But about Him, I have bad news. The Uber Oozaru, has been..." Martek began to choke up, he can't do this, not in front of his people, "...slain."
Murmurs spread like a gasoline fire as the sound of Martek voice carried to the last of Saiya-Jin.
"He was my Father, but we cannot let this huge loss hinder us from beginning anew. We must find a different planet on which to inhabit."
"And why should we follow you?" A voice called out from the mob.
"Yeah, we should we?" Another seconded the plea.
"We shouldn't, he will rule us like a tyrant!" An older, more tempered voice called out from the crowd. And from the crowd, the Mercenti arose to face the Legend. He floated passed all other Saiya-Jin to make his case.
"I will not be subjected to a tyrant!" He called out. Hollers of agreement followed behind him.
"Never did I say I was going to be a tyrant, Mercenti." Martek declared in defence.
"Bow when you say my name!" The arrogant bastard declared.
Martek rose right into his face, inches away from his nose and said, "I will bow to NO ONE!"
"Not even your king?" The Mercenti asked with a smirk.
"I am deity! I will not bow to a mortal!"
"What are you trying to say by that statement? That you yourself are not mortal?"
"You're damn right that's what I'm saying! I will be here long after you pass. I will be here long after all of you pass," He said pointing out to the people, "I will be here until the end of all time, until every star in the sky has been extinguished, until the universe collapses into oblivion. I will be here, protecting what is good and hunting down the demon who smote your Uber Oozaru, my Father. I will only appear to you in times of great need. This is one of those times, so until we find another home, you Mercenti, and the king, will take orders from me!" He spat into the Mercenti's face as he brought his aura back to life, letting it crackle with his amazing power. Awe spread across the faces of the Saiya-Jin. Martek glared into the eyes of the Mercenti, as if daring him to call his troops to attack him. the Mercenti rose his arm above him. Immediately, thousands of soldiers appeared at his side, waited for his next signal.
"Mercenti, don't be a fool! I destroyed your pathetic L-Ex squandron, then the clones you sent out against me, both with out thinking twice, and both I emerged unscathed. Would you order your men to strike out against me, only to greet death face to face?!"
"Would you kill them? What kind of deity would do that?"
"The kind that defend themselves! If someone puched you in the face, Mercenti, would you not punch back?"
"The Legend is right!" A voice called from the mob.
"Yeah, Mercenti, get down from there, call of your troops you ruthless bum!"
The Mercenti was dumfounded at this. Who had the gaul to call the Mercenti a ruthless bum?! He scowled through the people, trying in vain to find the culprit. Suddenly more voices called out, "I'm with the Legend!"
"Yeah so am I!"
"Me too!"
The Mercenti was quickly loosing his majority. Martek gave him a victorious smirk as he crossed his arms. Mercenti slowly put his arms down, and his troops backed down.
"Now then, where should we go?" Martek asked
A soldier spoke up, "I know of a place I was deployed once. It's a place in the Canan System. It was beautiful there, just one thing though. It's densely habited."
"Hmmm... would you love it that same as you did Saiya-Jin?" Martek questioned.
"...Yeah, I think I would."
"Any objections?" Martek said to the people. Moments passed filled with silence.
"Very well then, to Canan, our new home!" Shouts of joy erupted from the mob. Martek took the lead as the billions followed him. Suddenly, a Saiya-Jin caught up with him, Martek peered behind him over his shoulder, to see the shining, smiling face of Lexan. She flew into his arms and they shared a kiss. She spoke to him, saying, "Canan, I've heard of that place before, but what are you gonna do about the population?"
"That is a matter for military, not deity."
"Are you saying you're going to let Mercenti do it?"
"Well, he is the ranking military leader of out former planet. He would know best of how to go about something like this."
"Hmmm.. this is gonna be my first war then."
"You mean you're planning on fighting?"
"Well, duh! I was trained at Mercenus, and kept there after my family lost there nobility for a reason. Though I know I'll be part of the light-barrage squandron, I think I'll grow to like it."
Martek never thought he would ever hear such strong words from her, this made a question come into his head, was he going to fight? Should he watch from the sidelines as Mercenti took the planet by force? The Saiya-Jin side of him said, sure, why the hell not? You don't know those aliens, why bother caring for them? But then, the Uber Oozaru's words entered his mind, 'Every life is sacred, no matter how it came into being.' He also remember the first sensations as a SSJ10. Tn this state, he felt the full meanings of malice, hate, anger, and blood lust. As a Saiya-Jin, he was entitled to kill, to destroy, and more so as the Legend. To find a Saiya-Jin with pacifistic morals was very rare. He decided then that he would fight only when he saw it necessary. He would keep a close eye on the Mercenti, Martek was wondering if he still had plans to kill him. He laughed at the idea as he continued to fly towards the Canan System, or as he would grow to call it, home.
