A New Player

The spherical shape shoots across the heavens as stars and planets streak by at astonishing speeds. The pod had seen several battles, notice the dents, burns and marks across the surface. You would think nothing living is contained within the pod, but as it passes by a sun you can see in shadows that somebody is indeed within the pod. It has but one opening, a hatch in front with a circular window to behold the glorious sites that it is passing by. Nevertheless, the lone occupant does not seem to notice or care to see the wonders of the universe. After the pod passes the sun the only thing that can be seen is the soft glow of the instrumentation that makes up and runs the pod. Moreover, the only thing that can be heard is the soft breathing of the lone occupant. A computer voice disturbs the silence.

"Last known location, the planet Chikyuu." The neutral computer voice says. A few beeps are heard as slim, but scared fingers fly across the keypad. Star charts and a strange language are seen on the monitor.

"Destination set, course change confirmed." A few more beeps are heard as the last of the commands are entered in the computer.

"New destination, Chikyuu." The pod veers off in space towards the new location. A tiny blue planet; one of the nine planets circling around a yellow sun.

The sound of armor settling is heard as the occupant leans back into the pod chair with a sigh. A soft, menacing chuckle breaks the silence as a long brown tail flicks around in the pod. This occupant has but one single purpose…to find Saiya-jin no Ouji. Now the silence is absolute in the pod and it continues its deadly course as it leaves a path of destruction in its wake. Vanquished souls cry out warnings to the living ahead, "Beware the Destroyer." However, they go unheeded.

The computer voice again breaks the absolute silence. "Sleep mode engaged." A hissing sound is heard as the computer releases gas into the pod through the ventilation system. The occupant breathes in deeply and slowly relaxes as the gas lulls the occupant into a deep sleep for the long journey ahead. After several minutes the computer confirms that the occupant is in sleep mode.

"Vital signs stable, auto pilot engaged, cryostasis unit online and activated." The computer runs an auto diagnostics program and completes its self-check. "Proximity alarm active. Auto activation online."

And life goes on… Or will the fates intercede?
