1 Chapter 1: How it all began!
Well, here I am...
Lying broken and beaten on the ground...
It was a cold winter's evening with dark clouds filling the sky, pouring with rain, as if they were weeping at the sight below.
Terry had been walking to the local bookstore to purchase the new Dragon Ball Super manga. He had long been a fan of the franchise, having grown up watching Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
Even as an adult, he had let it influence his life, giving him motivation to train and study martial arts. It was safe to say that Dragon Ball had given him a real sense of what it meant to better oneself and grow stronger. Hence the reason he had wanted to read the new chapters of Dragon Ball Super.
However, on his way home he had been attacked by four thugs. They had no real reason to do what they had done to him, seeing that they had only started by wanting his wallet. But, things had quickly taken a turn for the worse, and before he knew it, Terry had been stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen and beaten.
All of his training had gone to waste at the suddenly explosive and murderous intent of a real thug, giving him no time to prepare or react against so many at the same time.
Now he led on the cold and wet ground, feeling his body lose all of its strength and his vision start to get blurry.
There was no one around to help him, and the ones who had done this to him had already run away, not wanting to stick around for the police to turn up.
Terry slowly turned his head to the side, seeing that he was still holding the Dragon Ball super manga edition in his hand, clutching it with all of his remaining might.
"Ha... I guess I valued this over my own life..." He said to himself as he stared at the cover art, seeing both Goku and Vegeta standing there as if they were looking at him.
"I bet those two would have taught those thugs a lesson..." Terry said before he turned his head back and looked up at the dark sky, feeling the raindrops dance on his face.
"But... This is the end of the road for me..." He said, lifting his other hand up so he could see the blood that soaked his palm and fingers.
Terry was starting to notice black spots forming around his already blurry vision, feeling the last of his strength give way before his hand dropped onto his chest, loosing the last of his consciousness his fingers finally let go of the Dragon Ball super manga, causing it to fall into the small puddle he had been trying his best to keep it out of.
"Death is only the beginning..." A strange voice said, echoing in his mind before his world went completely black, not being able to understand what or who it was.
"Here check this one..." A strange voice said, causing Terry to stray from his sleep.
"Little guy's name is... Vocada." The voice said again, getting closer to him.
"Yeah, yeah, what does his power level say already?" Another voice asked.
Two voices... Terry thought to himself, not sure what was going on.
"Little guy only has a power level of 4... Low class it is."
Power level?
Low class?
What the hell are they talking about? Terry thought as he tried to open his eyes.
Terry slowly opened his eyes, having to squint due to the sudden light that hit them.
"Wait... Am I dead?" He wondered, trying to get a feel for what was going on.
Terry found himself floating in some strange liquid with tubes attached to his mouth and nose, leaving him unable to move.
"W-What the hell is going on here? What is this place!" He tried to yell out, only to find he was unable to speak and unable to move.
"Hey, looks like you woke the little guy up." One of the strange voices said, getting Terry's attention.
"Ah my bad, better put him back in incubation mode." The owner of the voice said as he walked within Terry's view.
Terry could see that he wasn't human, something that terrified him.
"W-What the fuck is that guy! An alien... There is an alien in front of me!" Terry yelled in his head, trying to wriggle around.
"Hey now, this little guy sure has some fight in him." The alien said as he placed his hands on his hips and bent over to get a better look at him.
"Don't you worry little guy, get some rest and grow big and strong." The alien then said as he pressed one of the buttons on the tank that Terry was floating in.
Terry was so confused about what was happening to him right now. The last thing he could remember was that he had been stabbed and died... However, everything was starting to get fuzzy the more he tried to remember.
Looking up and then back down at the glass, Terry caught a small glimpse of his reflection in the glass, seeing his tiny body floating in the liquid.
"No... Don't tell me this is some matrix shit..." He said, not having a clue what was happening.
"There, that should do it..." The alien said, his words suddenly becoming stretched in Terry's mind.
Terry felt his eyes grow heavy and soon drifted off into the darkness once again, feeling at peace once his mind completely relaxed.
He was unsure of how much time had passed or whether or not he was alive or dead for that matter. Feeling as if he had been drifting in tranquillity for years.
[Loading sequence starting...] A computerized voice suddenly said, getting his attention.
[45%... 69%... 98%... Loading sequence complete.] The voice slowly said.
What's going on now? Terry asked, not sure if he was dreaming or not.
[Saiyan programming starting...] The voice said.
S-Saiyan... Terry thought, not sure where he had heard that word before.
Suddenly information started to fill his mind, telling him who he was and what he had to do.
[Your name is Vocada... You have been deemed a low-class warrior and are being sent off-world to the planet Vubroth. Your mission is to eradicate all intelligent life forms and prepare the planet for sale.] The voice said, repeating the message over and over again.
All of the information was too much to take in for Terry, knowing he had seen this somewhere before. However, every time he tried to think of what it was his mind got fuzzy and hurt his head.
[S-S-S-S-S sytem errorrrrr...] The computer voice said all of a sudden.
Great, now this thing is going haywire... Just my luck. Terry said to himself.
[Rebooting system...]
[System reboot complete... Gifting additional information.] The computer then said, creating a bright display screen for Terry to see.
What's this? Terry asked himself as he looked at the display screen, trying to read and understand the information that was being displayed.
Name: Vocada.
Race: Saiyan.
Age: 4 years old.
Power Level: 5.
Stats:
Level: 1 [EXP 0/20]
Strength: 1
Speed: 1
Ki control: 1
Ability points: 1
Abilities: [Oozaru transformation] [Zenkai boost]
Terry wasn't sure what he was looking at here, but it seemed to look like a display screen for a character from a game.
Hold on a second... Is this me? He asked, seeing the name Vocada as the computer repeated its message over and over again about his mission.
My name is, Vocada... He said, unknowing forgetting that his name had been Terry...
(Author note: I will be referring to him as Vocada from here on out and not Terry.)
[Your name is Vocada... You have been deemed a low-class warrior and are being sent off-world to the planet Vubroth. Your mission is to eradicate all intelligent life forms and prepare the planet for sale.] The computer voice continued to say, delivering the brainwashing message over and over again to Vocada.
I wish that thing would stop, it's giving me a headache... Vocada said, trying to think about what he was seeing and hearing.
Suddenly the message stopped playing and he could hear nothing as if it had listened to him.
That's better. He said before he turned his attention back toward the strange display that was before him.
So, my name is Vocada and I'm a Saiyan being sent to take over a planet... Why does this all feel like some sort of dream? He asked himself, still feeling that his memory was fuzzy.
Vocada decided to push the thought aside for now and decided to look at his display screen, taking a keen interest in it as if he were playing a game.
[Would you like to hear the tutorial?] The computerized voice asked after a moment.
A tutorial? That would make things a little easier. Vocada said to himself before he agreed.
Yes, please.
[Welcome to your display screen. Here you can see your current abilities and stats. As you grow stronger you will gain experience points and level up, gaining ability points that will enable you to grow stronger at a faster rate.] The computer said as it beeped.
[Your power level determines how strong you are. The number is a result of your current stats and level. As you increase your stats and level your power level will also increase. Each stat has a different strength that you can upgrade as you grow. Strength for example will give you more power and physical strength, being very useful for combat and fighting. Speed will increase your overall agility, making you faster and giving you better reaction time. Ki control will help you to master your energy, helping improve your Ki attacks and overall control of your energy. Together all three play an important role, so be sure to train them as much as you can.] The computer explained.
I see... Vocada said as he listened to the computer's explanation.
[You will gain ability points as you increase your level, as well as for achieving milestones and completing quests. You can use these ability points to increase your stats by one level each time. However, each stat can be trained manually through traditional training.] The computer said, giving Vocada more information.
[Now, please click on your Ki control stat and increase its level by one.] The computer said, showing Vocada how to do it with a follow-along instruction.
Vocada did as it asked and followed the instructions step by step before he upgraded his Ki control to level 2.
[Basic Ki control learnt] A notification suddenly said, popping up in Vocada's field of vision.
[Quest complete, you have received 20 EXP. You have levelled up!]
[Good job on upgrading your first stat. Hopefully, you will be able to grow stronger and upgrade your abilities as time goes on.] The computer said, causing Vocada to hear the Hopefully part.
[Lastly, you should be able to see your current abilities at the bottom of your display. This shows what abilities you currently have access to or have learned over time. If you require an explanation of what they each do, simply hover over the ability.] The computer said.
[That ends the tutorial. We wish you the best of luck in your new life, farewell and good luck.] The computer suddenly said before the voice disappeared, leaving Vocada alone to look at his display.
Umm... Thanks. Vocada said, not sure what the hell was going on, deciding to take another look at his display screen.
Name: Vocada.
Race: Saiyan.
Age: 4 years old.
Power Level: 20.
Stats:
Level: 2 [EXP 0/40]
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Ki control: 3
Ability points: 0
Abilities: [Oozaru transformation] [Zenkai boost] [Basic Ki control]
Vocada could see that his stats had all increased thanks to his level up, also seeing that his overall power level had also increased from 5 to 20, giving it a well-needed boost.
Beep.Beep.Beep.Beep...
Vocada was suddenly distracted by the sudden beeping noise that caused him to wake up, feeling more than confused.
"W-What the hell is going on?" He said, taking a look around.
"Where am I?" He asked, seeing that he was in some sort of space pod that was currently flying through space faster than light speed.
"Approaching the planet Vubroth, hibernation sequence ended... Impact in T-minus 30 seconds." The computer said, causing Vocada's eyes to open wide.
"Impact!" He yelled not being able to help but panic.
The space pod started its sequence to slow down, dropping from light speed to a more suitable flight speed, giving Vocada a nice view of the planet he was approaching.
Vocada could see that the planet looked like it had a large land mass with only one ocean as he tried to get a good look at it out of the space pod's window.
(See comment here to see a picture of the planet.)
Suddenly the outside of the pod burst into flame as it entered the planet's atmosphere before plummeting through the sky and into the ground, crashing hard and creating a large crater.
Vocada didn't feel much from inside the space pod, despite bracing himself at all possible angles as he was shitting his pants.
The space pod computer made a few strange noises and suddenly the pod's door burst open, releasing the pressure from inside the pod.
Vocada reached for the outer part of the pod, getting a grip of it as he slowly climbed out of the space pod, getting a look at the planet's yellow sky before feeling the heat of the sun kiss his skin.
"This is really another planet..." Vocada said to himself as he took a look around.
All he could see was desert stretching all the way to the horizon, complete with some mountains in the far distance, making it seem barren and bare.
Vocada turned around as he looked back at his space pod, seeing his reflection for the first time in the cracked window.
He was small, with scruffy black spiky hair leaning to one side of his head. He was wearing some basic Saiyan armour dark brown and black in colour, complete with blue shorts, some shoes and two black wrist gauntlets that didn't cover his hands.
(See comment here to see a picture.)
For some reason Vocada decided to look inside of the space pod, reaching behind the seat where he found a scouter and a small bag that contained some water and food.
"How did I know that these were here?" He asked while he looked at the scouter in his hand.
Suddenly the computer's programming played in his mind, reminding him of all the basics like the scouter and how to use it, as well as the rations he had in his pod. However, the biggest thing that played over and over in his mind was his mission.
"They really want me to kill everything on this planet..." Vocada said, not sure how he felt about it, taking a moment to try and think about everything that had happened so far.
His mind was still fuzzy, but some snippets of his past seemed to get through, remembering what he had been doing and that he had died at the hands of some thugs.
"Ache..." Vocada said as he placed a hand to his head, feeling a sharp stabbing pain that got worse the more he tried to think about his memories.
"No way... I really died." He said, shocked at the memory of his death, causing him to place his hands on his head as he tried not to panic at what was happening to him.
"This place... This world... This body..." Vocada said, feeling his tail jolt behind him all of a sudden as he became aware of its existence and movement.
"This can only mean one thing..." He said, remembering what he was, and more importantly where he was.
"I have been reborn... As a Saiyan."
