C2: Becoming a fugitive
[C2: Becoming a fugitive]
-Kane's POV:
...
Well, that's strange...
I'm sure I was sucked in some kind of black hole and lost consciousness... Why the heck am I in some kind of Auction?
Not to mention... it seems to be an Alien Auction, that's strange, I didn't know that there could be a place like this where many Aliens could gather together and do... Alien things...
I guess that strange vortex must have teleported me back to the mortal realm... Well, I guess NOW I have really karate-chopped everything in the universe... Then I guess this is the end of my path.
It lasted less than what I thought it could. At first, I thought that in the future I could become some strange old sage with a really long beard that lived in the mountain and karate-chopped entire boulders easily. However, in less than two years I have become so strong that boulders no longer can withstand my power...
Hmm...
What should I do now?
Since the goal I expected to last for an entire lifetime had ended in just two mere years, what should I do from now on?
I did save the earth from a meteorite, so I guess enjoying some kind of relaxing life and being praised as a hero is not a bad option. But honestly, I don't care.
Ugh... Now I know how did my classmates feel when they had to decide what to do with their lives after graduating... Fuck.
I should have planned something else just in case Karate-chopping wasn't profitable... Damn.
Whatever, I should go back to earth anyways. I might as well visit my family after I disappeared for an entire year after saving Earth.
"Stand where you are!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind me and I noticed that there was a group of Aliens pointing at me with futuristic-looking guns.
'They can talk human language? That's strange... Most of the Aliens I met were violent fuckers that tried to hunt me down right away when seeing me, or just made weird sounds with what I think was their mouth. But never did I see an Alien actually speaking a language I could understand.
However, I just shrugged them aside and started walking away to see if I could discover in which part of the Universe I was right now.
From behind me, I could hear the Aliens talk about something with a serious tone on their voices.
"C-captain, what is his power level?"
"Let me see, my scouter is an old model, so it takes a bit for it to finish calculating"
I looked back in curiosity to see what were they doing, and noticed that the Alien who seemed to be the leader of the group clicked a button on a strange device that covered his eye, and started looking at me with a sharp gaze in his eyes.
Is that some kind of weapon?
Soon, however, strange beeping sounds started coming from the device, and the eyes of the alien widened in surprise, not sure why though...
"H-his power level is just 3..."
"What?!
All the Aliens relaxed instantly when they heard their leader.
'Power Level? What is that supposed to be?'
Soon though, the leader approached me and grabbed me by the shoulder before looking at me with an expression full of arrogance.
"Listen here kid, we have some questions to ask you so you have to come with us for the time being"
I raised an eyebrow at his change in temperament but nodded nevertheless. They seemed to be inhabitants of this planet, or at least knew where was this planet, so I would perfectly take this opportunity to ask them a few questions.
That was until they started charging me with private property damage, and disruption of the public order. Telling me that I had to pay the organizers of the Auction 70,000 Intergalactic coins if I didn't want to go to prison for my crimes.
Well, I did indeed broke a few things here and there during my arrival at this place, but it was completely unintentional, so I gave them a very courteous fuck you and decided to leave right away, rather than lose time asking them.
They tried to grab my shoulder and stop me from leaving nevertheless, So I karate-chopped right next to the face of the Alien that seemed to be the leader, and created an enormous shockwave that created an enormous fissure in the street that divided it into two.
"W-what?!" The Alien shook in fear upon seeing that such an attack had just passed next to him, and fell helplessly on his buttocks.
"C-captain, there's no way someone with 3 of power level is able to produce such a strong attack, your scouter must be already too old!!"
"No" Just when I thought I could finally leave, suddenly another bigger group of Aliens with the same facial features approached me and pointed their guns at me with angry looks in their eyes. The Alien at the front had a similar device to the one the Alien I intimidated had. However, unlike the previous one, this new Alien had a more robust and trained body that resembled the one bodybuilders had back on earth.
He soon walked towards me and frowned while looking at me.
"I scanned him as well with my scouter, and he does indeed have 3 Power Level... I guess he must have some kind of dangerous device under his clothes that is able to produce that attack. You all saw it, he failed to hit Jewry, even when he was standing right in front of him"
He grabbed my wrist and looked at me with a hostile glare.
"So, what surprises are you hiding kid? Did you come here with the objective of attacking the Auction maybe?"
*Sigh...*
I guess escape time has come.
*Bam!!*
I punched his solar plexus and made him lose all the air on his lungs before I ran away with enough speed to lose them all rather rapidly.
Why was I escaping instead of just killing them all? Well, I already did something like that when I was traveling through the universe, and my mother taught me that there must be a limit on how much evil a person can do in his life before becoming a demon.
I already killed an entire Alien empire and hundreds of Gods in just a simple year. So, I don't really want to overdo it anymore.
Besides, these guys look like they are only doing their job, so I guess in a way it's understandable they try to capture the one that destroyed part of their Auction and created an enormous fissure in the street where dozens of people walk daily.
"Hmm?"
While I was running away, I made eye contact with a beautiful woman of red-colored hair tied into a ponytail that was looking at me with curiosity in her eyes, She seemed to be a warrior of some sort judging by her clothes, but at the same time she had luxurious clothes under the armor that also gave her a sense of majesty to her presence.
'A human?'
She did indeed look like a human. However, when I examined further I noticed that she had a small ruby-like horn on her forehead that was barely noticeable to the naked eye.
Both of us continued making eye contact for a few moments more before I turned away and continued running away from the army of Aliens pursuing me.
I was in a hurry, so I just shrugged that strange moment aside, and continued running away with the objective of losing them.
First I needed to know where I was, and in which direction was Earth. I was rather tired of traveling through the space already and wanted nothing but to arrive there and take a small rest from all this adventure I had through the universe.
And since Earth was a planet very far away from other inhabited planets, it was also the perfect place to stay for the rest of my life, as the probabilities of having planet-threatening dangers arrive at Earth were almost zero.
I mean, what was the worst that could happen to Earth?

A few days after the incident...
Inside the planet of Groryca, many of the people living there were looking at the glorious spaceship arrive at their planet with a venerating look in their eyes.
"The princess has come back!"
"Hurray!!"
The capital was crowded with people cheering for the return of who seemed to be their princess. And at the royal palace, a man with a long gray beard was looking at the Spaceship with a gentle expression on his face.
He had luxurious red-colored robes that reached his knees and had a rather long ruby-colored horn growing on his forehead that adorned the beautiful crown standing majestically on the top of his head.
Soon, the spaceship landed in front of the Royal Palace, and a figure descended from it with its arms wide open.
"Dad!" The figure blurred and moved incredibly fast towards the man who seemed to be the King, yet, even with that momentum the King just watched the figure in his arms and smiled gently as he chuckled briefly under his breath.
"It seems you have come back Ruri" The King patted the red hair of the woman embracing him with gentleness.
The figure, who was right now smiling happily after embracing the King, was none other than the woman Kane had seen at the Auction when he was running away.
"Oho, your Power Level has risen to 23,500? To think that you are becoming so powerful quickly! It will be a matter of time before you surpass your father, hohoho!" The King took out a scouter and scanned her Daughter rapidly before he nodded satisfactorily seeing the results.
The woman called Ruri separated herself from her father and smiled wryly as she looked at her father with a tired look in her eyes.
"What are you talking about dad? Your Power Level is 170,000, the highest number ever recorded in the history of the Kingdom! I have a lot of years in front of me before I can even match your Power Level..."
"Either way, you are still above all your peers by a lot, so don't get discouraged if you can't surpass this old man for the time being! Leaving this aside, did you find something about Freezer while you were out of the planet?" The King's expression suddenly turned serious, as he glanced at his daughter with a worried look in his eyes.
Ruri just nodded and proceeded to explain everything she had discovered during her journey.
The King's expression eased a bit after hearing everything, and he sighed in relief while massaging his forehead for some minutes.
"So Freezer's army is too busy dealing with other planets to deal with us for the time being, huh? That's good, I thought he was about to make his move on this planet and try and exterminate us before we grew too powerful... I guess our concealing techniques did indeed work as we planned..."
"Yes father, this technique is incredible! To think that I can hide my power from the Scouters and make them think I have half the power I really have, truly a marvelous technique!"
"Hehehe, thankfully, our ancestors left those techniques for us to use in the future, otherwise we could have ready been deemed as a threat by Freezer, and had our planet attacked by his army..."
However, at that moment Ruri's expression turned serious as she glanced at her father with a grim expression on her face.
"Unfortunately, It seems that they are already eyeing us for a possible attack in the future father, we need to move rapidly and hide somewhere else's before they come!"
The King just nodded with an angry expression on his face and looked at the horizon with a contemplating gaze on his eyes.
"If only we could hide our Power Level completely..." The King muttered under his breath as he looked at the sunset with melancholic eyes.
Ruri, that heard the words from her father, remembered a certain young man that had appeared at the Auction and had caused an incredible mess even while having just 3 of Power Level.
At first, she thought he was part of her race, but when she saw that he didn't have a horn like them, she understood that he was probably from another different race.
'Would it be that he was hiding his Power Level? His physical prowess was indeed not something a person with 3 of Power Level would achieve...'
Ruri narrowed her eyes slightly at the thought. However, she soon shrugged it aside and continued walking alongside her father.
'I will probably never see him again after that. The universe is incredibly vast after all'

A/N:
MC does not know anything about Dragon ball by the way. He is from an alternative universe where many of the famous animes don't exist, and where an asteroid actually almost impacts with Earth, if not for him Karate-chopping it.
So yeah, he will be pretty clueless about what happened once he sees how does the Earth from Dragon ball look.
