Kaioken and The Traveler

Hey Guys, I should probably inform you that A Pervert's Dream is going to be longer than Power Trumps All.

15 chapters in my Pat.reon. Pat.reon.com/Saintbarbido. If you wanna join it though, I advice doing so at the start of April. That way you won't pay again so soon.

(Brian's P.O.V)

My arrival coincided with Trunks. I appeared on the same mountain range I had created my cabin on. The difference being that this was an alternate world. 

I then used my ki senses and felt Frieza and King Cold's Murky Ki a distance off into the wilderness. I floated up and then shot off, leaving a Sonic boom behind. There was just something awesome about flying on your own power. I didn't know just how much I had missed it till now. 

I slowed down and took my time, leisurely enjoying the environment. The planet was the same down to a T. Even the energy in the surrounding area was the same. I idly wondered if I could get the blackstar dragonballs and drain the energy inside them again but instead, I just shook my head. 

At this point, it would be meaningless. I was playing the long game. Another Wishing bead didn't factor into my plans and might even derail some of them. What I needed to do was leverage what I already had. My abilities were strong but my perks were even more so. 

I mean, I had Extremis, Zenkai, Super fast growth and Enhanced Adaptation. Anyone of those alone was an enviable skill. It was time to use them to full potential.

The rich farmlands and vegetation soon gave way to a rocky terrain. Up ahead I felt Trunks land on the ground next to the Z-Fighters, facing King Cold, Frieza and a contingent of his army, the Frieza Force…mmh so how do I introduce myself? 

My staff appeared on hand and I twirled it. I hadn't really tested out it's other functions, I smiled. 

'here goes nothing.'

The staff which I could control with my telekinesis shot off like a rocket.

It cut through the air towards Frieza's ship. The friction caused as it cut through the air sparked a blaze of flames along it's path. Everyone looked at where the loud sound was coming from and their eyes widened at the meteor like projectile closing down on them. 

Then…I enlarged it. The slim staff widened and lengthened simultaneously to the size of a huge skyscraper. It slammed into the ship and  crushed it underneath it's weight. The Z-Fighters managed to escape the blast zone along with Frieza and his father who was looking murderous.

The staff rose up at my command and shrank. I grabbed it and swept over the area. All the dust and smoke was blown away to reveal a broken wreckage where the ship had been. I put the staff on my shoulder and smirked down at Frieza.

"Oh no, I accidentally destroyed your ship and killed your men. Any chance I can say sorry and we forget this?"

"Filthy monkey mongrel!"

Frieza shouted and a blast of ki exploded from his hands. I brought the staff forward and twirled it telekinetically. The ki blast washed over me and sprayed to the sides. The clouds above vanished as the Ki blast pushed them all away. 

"That's enough out of you Frieza!"

Trunks shouted and in a motion that only I could track bisected Frieza into two.

King Cold's eyes widened but he was too late to react because Trunks sword separated his head from his shoulders. 

"Damn seeing that in real life is so much better."

I said while landing on the ground. 

"It…it wasn't even a fight."

Krillin's voice sounded shocked. This was the same guy who had given them so much trouble before Goku defeated him.

Trunks came forward and brandished a sword in my direction. 

"I don't know who you are, so you better start talking."

"Cool it glow stick. Wouldn't they say the same thing about you?"

I pointed at the Z-Fighters, particularly Bulma. Trunks blinked and sheathed his sword.

"Soon as Goku arrives, we are going to talk."

I nodded seeing no problem with that. Trunks didn't power down even as we made our way to the others. I noticed the look of great frustration on Vegeta's face once he looked at Trunks. The Z-Fighters looked at us warily once we got closer but I held up my hands.

"Hello. My name is Valiant. I'm an adventurer of sorts."

"Oh yeah. And what are you doing here then?"

Vegeta asked me whole crossing his hands.

"Ah Prince Vegeta. I would say it was nice to meet you but frankly it's not." My face became hard. "I know you used to work for Frieza. The better question is, what are you doing here?"

Vegeta's face changed to anger. Veins became prominent on his forehead.

" I am the prince of all Saiyans. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!"

He shouted while powering up.

"Uh Vegeta has changed he's not like before."

Surprisingly, Krillin spoke up.

"Yeah. He helped us on Namek during the fight with Frieza."

Vegeta powered down in surprise. He probably didn't expect them to defend him like that.

I shrugged. 

"If you say so. Anyway, the reason I recognized Vegeta is because, as an adventurer I travel a lot and I have had a few run-ins with the Frieza Force. I always chose not to intervene but I couldn't stand by once I heard he was coming to my home planet to wreck havoc. So I decided to come and try to stop him."

"Wait. You're from earth!"

Tien asked to which I nodded.

"Yeah. I am. I was abducted by an alien ship called the Ravagers by mistake and now a decade later here I am."

"Wow, that sounds awesome."

Gohan had stars in his eyes.

Suddenly Goku appeared.

"Goku!"

Bulma's shout had everyone running towards him. In true Goku fashion, he scratched his head and smiled.

"Hey guys."

"Dad!"

"Hello Gohan. Wow you have grown."

Trunks and I watched the reunion between the others and Goku while Vegeta was off to the side, looking all emo. 

"Hey Vegeta, do you know a guy called Sasuke by any chance."

"Hhn"

He scoffed and looked away, making me chuckle.

"Let's go."

Trunks said to me and we flew towards Goku.

"Hello Goku. Can we speak to you in private."

Goku looked surprised before nodding.

"Okay."

Just then King Kai contacted me. 

"Hello. Is this thing on?"

"I can hear you King Kai."

I told him amusement coloring my tone.

"Oh I see. So you've already met Goku and the others huh? That's good. He's my student you know. Come to my planet and we'll get started."

"Ok King Kai see you in a minute."

I looked over at Trunks and Goku and waved.

"I'll see you later Glowstick. Right now I got something to take care of."

"Who…"

Goku started before his statement was cut off by the sudden widening of his eyes. He was shocked when I brought 2 of my fingers to my forehead.

"Sorry. I copied the way your energy moved when you teleported here, then reverse engineered the process."

Before, I would have needed to jump to another world before I could teleport to King Kai's planet but short range teleportation was now viable. 

You might be skeptical but what I told Goku was the truth. Just not the whole version. Basically, knowing that he was about to teleport in. I spread out my ki sense which had grown to encompass a huge chunk of the universe, then studied Goku when he Instant Transmissioned in. The rest was history.

"Contact King Kai if you ever need my help."

With that I used Instant Transmission for the first time. The teleportation itself was different. I felt my body dematerialize as my own energy used King Kai as a beacon to catapult me to within short range of his position.

"Hey King Kai."

"Valiant, that technique seems different from  the previous one."

King Kai commented.

"Yeah it's a skill I copied from Goku. He seems like an easygoing guy. I doubt he would mind."

"Mmh. Thats Goku alright."

King Kai led me to his tiny house where he offered me some tea.

We had a few laughs about the jokes in the Dad Jokes book first edition. I even promised to get him the second one. 

"Valiant. I'll be honest with you, the only reason I'm only considering having you as my student is because I can sense that you're not evil." King Kai's voice turned serious.

I stayed silent as he continued.

"I won't pressure you but one day I'll need you to tell me the truth of who you really are."

He laid out his condition. I looked into his eyes through the glasses and nodded.

"One day."

I agreed. Instantly, the mood changed to a cheerful one.

"Good. Now let's talk about a super move that will help you a lot. I can sense that you have phenomenal control of your ki."

"That's right."

"And your body is also very strong."

He added to which I nodded.

"I believe, you might be the one to take my self created ability to it's next level. I call it Kaioken."

The smile on my face threatened to split it into half.

"Really? Tell me more."

(The Traveler - One Punch Man)

People ran out of the mall in wild panic. Screams filled the air and the streets soon became deserted as everyone around escaped in practiced effort. Showing that this was not the first time this had happened. A man with a limp couldn't clear the street fast enough so he hid behind a car while breathing heavily in fear.

"Oh God Oh God, why did I have to come to the Mall today!? My wife warned me! I should have listened to her, doesn't matter that she's a massive bitch I should have…"

"Tsk tsk tsk. I could hear your vulgar language from a far dear. That will just not do!"

The last word was punctuated by the vehicle the man was hiding behind, flying off to smash into a store front.

The man's panicked cries increased in a crescendo as he scrambled back on the ground. Before him stood a large woman, floating on a bar of soap. The bar of soap was dripping with sods and bubbles that burned the ground whenever they landed. On her left hand a scrubbing brush and on the right was a vacuuming tube that was attached to the soap. The woman herself was all shades of colours, her teeth were sharp, eyes red, beautiful face and golden hair. A monster!

"For thirty years I scrubbed my house clean everyday. No matter how much my pig of a husband made a mess, I persevered. One day I got tired of it and drowned him in a bathtub filled with soapy water to wash him clean. From then on I became…The…"

"Cleaning Lady."

A calm voice added.

Suddenly a song started playing with no discernible source. A lover of movies would have recognized it as the James Bond opening scene theme song.

The man on the floor and the Monster looked around frantically before the sound of a lighter assaulted their ears. They both looked up and came face to face…with a gentleman. The black Tuxedo clung to his body perfectly. His eyes shone with mirth as he stared at the Monster.

"Sorry, maybe you prefer another term." He stopped and took a long drag of the cigar on his lips.

"How about…nah you know what, cleaning Lady fits you better."

The sarcasm couldn't have been more obvious. 

"You…"

The man held up a single hand as the theme song for James Bond reached its crescendo. The monster found herself immobilized in place. 

"They call me, The Traveler. Any last words?"

"Aaand cut."

Another voice made itself known. Tatsumaki, the number 2 hero said while flying in. A smirk was on her face as she clicked a picture from a camera hanging from her neck. She turned off the music from the ipod and turned to the floating man.

"That was perfect. You looked sooo classy."

The man's face turned expressionless as the Cigar in his hands went up in flames. 

"I can't believe you convinced me to do that."

"Aaw, but you looked like the main character from those old movies. Plus you promised you would do it as my birthday gift."

Tatsumaki pouted cutely. The man lying on the floor had lost all traces of fear as confusion and surprise gripped him. 'What the Fuck! Is that the number 2 hero known for being arrogant, rude, overbearing and no nonsense? Is this really Tornado of terror?'

The man was so stumped by her behavior that he felt the need to ask.

"Umm Excuse me…"

He squeaked out. 

Tatsumaki's eyes fell on him and her eyes turned chilly. Her green hair started floating behind her.

"I had forgotten about you. I cannot let you leave here after seeing me like that."

Oh shit, it was Tatsumaki alright. She lifted a hand and the man found himself floating up in the air. 

"Whaa…no…please…"

The strange floating man placed a hand on Tatsumaki's shoulder.

"Let him go. I doubt he'll say anything about your weirdness."

Tatsumaki flushed in embarrassment.

"I am not weird! You're…weird!"

She said and flew off quickly. Leaving behind the Traveler, the man and the monster that was still immobilized.

The Traveler waved a hand and the monster started speaking fearfully.

"It's…it's you! You're the Traveler. They…they have a picture of you… You're him. The one they warned us to always surrender when we saw."

"Mmh? Oh tell Orochi I said hi. Then again, you won't get the chance to…"

As he said that…the monster started graying before the scared man's eyes. She turned into a gray statue that broke apart into ashes drifting in the wind.

"Oh my…oh my god. I know you. The special consultant of the hero Agency. Tatsumaki's teacher…The Space - Time Monarch and the Sovereign of the elements. You're The Traveler."

The floating man smiled a little. He motioned and the man landed safely in the ground.

"I didn't know I was that famous."

He said, making the man shake his head frantically.

"The Hero Agency have all sorts of information online about you. How you have existed for a long time. You saved Tornado from captivity and helped her learn how to control her powers. You're not just famous. You're an inspiration."
