[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
The being opened his eyes, slowly to be sure the sun did not blind him. The galring orb was rising still, it must have been around eight in the morning. He suddenly sat up, aware of what happened and what he last remembered. He found himself in a huge crater, at least fifty miles in diatmeter. The ground was dead underneath him and in his mist lay many, many Saiya-Jin.
He became aware of himself after wondering what had happened. His name was Martek, he told himself, he was the Legend of the Saiya-Jin, he brought them to the Canan system to inhabit a new world, and apparently, the last guys didn't want to leave very badly. They had launched some sort of... what was it? Nuclear attack? Martek had heard the term before, but nothing beyond that. Previous enemies of the Saiya-Jin had used such means, but Martek was ignorant as to its abilities until now. He surveyed the now barren wastlands of the once prosperous jungle that surround the fortress, which was obliterated into nothingness.
"Lexan!!!" His mind bellowed.
He looked desperately to the skies, trying to find any sign of Lexan, or Morex for that matter. The Saiya-Jin began to wake, without haste. They had no knowledge of what had happened that night, they were just wondering why they were in a crater when they remember coming to the edge of a forest. They all saw the being, no with long, white spiked hair, and remembered, he was the Legend. After that, everything slowly came back to their sluggish minds.
Martek took to the air with great haste, trying to find his beloved and kicking himself for leaving her at the camp. He took off with incredible speed as the desperate Legend compelled himself to believe that she was still alive.
In mere moments, he arrived at the camp. It was in disarray since the blast affects managed to hit it. As he flew over head, he noticed something unusual. There was a giant tail on the ground, covered with brown fur. Martek smirked as he realized Morex must have been able to cut it off of her. hH dove from the skies, prepared to rip apart the planet if it would prove necessary to find her. He hit the ground with such a great force, any normal Saiya-Jin would have been splattered all over the ground. The earth crumbled under his landing, but he quickly stood up, yelling, "LEXAN!! LEXAN!!"
"Martek!" A maculine voice answered. Martek turned behind him to see Morex waving in front of a small, artificial cave. He ran over to him, grabbed him by the shoulders and violently shook him, asking over and over again, "Where is she?!"
Morex managed to slip away from Martek, and said to him, "Martek! Breathe!"
He slowly inhaled, and exhaled. Morex continued, "It was a decently hard fight, but as you probably saw, I managed to get the tail. She's in the cave-"
Martek rushed past him, leaving Morex not enough time to blink.
There, in front of Martek, was Lexan. She was curled up in a ball, stark naked and shivering.
"She's been like that all night, plus she hasn't blinked since the blast."
Martek looked to Morex, then to Lexan. He waved his hand through he line of sight with no reaction. He snapped his fingers, again no reaction. He clapped his hands, with the same result. Martek sighed and breathed in almost a whisper, "Lexan..."
She blinked, turned her head, then jumped into Martek, embracing him with her smooth, silky skin. Martek was somewhat startled by this, assuming she was in shock, or a coma. He hugged her back and kissed her over and over again.
Lexan spoke first, saying, "When we heard that explosion go off, I feared the worst. And then I saw it with my own eyes. It was apocalyptic... where are the others?"
"In the crater, most should be awake by now." He responded.
"Alright then, let's go!"
"Uhh... Lexan..."
"Yeah, what?"
"You're clothes..."
"What about them?"
"You're not wearing any."
Lexan suddenly blushed in realization. Her clothes tore when she became an Oozaru. She kicked herself for not putting on her Saiya-Jin armor. That would have at least expanded with the body.
Morex, having heard this, smirked and ran off to find some. He was respectful of the matter but recognized its humor. He was gone about two minutes before clothes were tossed into the cave. Martek turned and walked out of the cave to let Lexan change in private. This gave Morex and himself a moment to talk.
"Was she Oozaru when you found her?" Martek asked.
"No, just turning. She was almost able to look away, but she barely missed it." Morex responded
"Where did this cave come from?"
"After I cut off the tail, I picked her up, and blasted a hole as deep as I could into the hillside, we were just lucky the explosion came from the side and not head on."
"Indeed."
"What the hell were those things anyways?"
"I believe they would be called, nuclear weapons."
"Oh yeah! I've heard of those before," Morex said with child-like excitement, "Pretty nasty stuff I'd say."
"Indeed, that explosion must have been at least fifty miles in diameter. But wasn't there a side affect to the explosions?"
"Yes... I believe there is... I forget though-, wait... something called... ray, no wait, uhh.... ra-dia-tion, radiation, yah thats it."
"It's a good thing it doesn't affect Saiya-Jins, and for the moment, it doesn't seem to be affecting this planet either." Martek responded.
"What kind of affects would there be?"
"Well, I think there's something called a nuclear winter, not sure how it happens, but it causes long periods of winter weather."
"Okay, guys, I'm done." Lexan called from the cave. She walked out wearing out Pugnaturus gear, a skin tight uniform with Saiya-Jin armor. The armor could take massive punishment without cracking or breaking, as well as it could expand if the Saiya-Jin ever went Oozaru, so when they come out of it, they are not naked. Very useful as Lexan found out. Martek smirked at her then turned to the south, determined to help his people.
When they arrived, Lexan was pleased to know that the most serious injury was a small gash across the leg. Ashila had sustained it when another Oozaru fell backwards and sliced her leg. Everyone stood up in final realization that the planet was theirs. The Paxians were now scattered and divided, hiding in fear of the mighty Saiya-Jins. A great cry bellowed from the Saiya-Jin ranks, praising their Legend for the victory. Martek smiled and waved from above them as they raised their hands and voices, extolling their savior. Martek signed to them to be silent, he must speak to them, "Mighty Saiya-Jin! The battle is won!" The army roared with delight. Martek continued, "As I had said before we arrived at this planet, I will only appear to you, when needed the most. Thus, I will dissappear from you, leaving you to govern yourselves. Saiya-Jin! May you live long! May you live proud! May our kind live forever!" The mob responded with cries of saddness yet, with cries of joy. They would never forget the Legend, they told themselves. Everyone looked to him, shining now with the light of the sun. Lexan was cradled in his arms. He shown brighter and brighter with each passing moment, until no one could bear to look at him any longer and suddenly, the light dissappeared from them. The was a sudden surge toward his previous location, only to be quickly subdued by their own thoughts. He held true to his word, and they all took comfort knowing that somewhere, their Legend was watching them, and keeping them safe. Now they looked to their bright future, full of prosperity and hope. But never could they know, the events that was to be their destiny...
