Chapter 3: It Begins
Earth: It wasn't a typical bright and sunny day, the skies raged with anger, a violent
storm stretched across the earth. All of the continents were being terrorized by this
horrible storm.
Dameon stood in the rain and watched quietly. His home, and those around it, had stood
through worse, but it was not them he was worried about. Yeras ago, when he was still a
child, his race, the Saiy-Jins were hunted like dogs. The remnants of Frieza's once mighty
army had sought to destroy what had brought their master to his end, the Saiy-Jins. The
Saiy-Jins fought valiantly against this army, but, their numbers were to small, and they
were still very young, their powers undeveloped. Afters months of hiding in the shadows,
the reamining handfull of Saiy-Jin warriors met their pursuers in a final confrontation.
But, even before the first blow had been delt, qiuck flashes of lightning erupted through
the skies, and the evil murderers were struck down by some invisible force. Dameon had
been one of the few to witness this event, and he alone was the only one who caught a
glimpse of the armys' assailant. Only for a split second, did he see the movement of a
bright red tail through the chaos.
That night, was the only other time he had seen this type of storm. With each crack of
lightning, he could fell a presence of... something that seemed purely... Evil. For safety
reasons, the remaining Saiy-Jins had been re-located to one island, the general populace
no longer felt the need for the Saiy-Jins, the world had been peaceful for years now, so
the earth no longer needed the warriors.
Limbo: "Goku!" A deep voice rang through the infinite dimesnion. "Come
quickly!" Goku materialized out of thin air, two fingers placed against his forehead.
"Yes?" Goku asked quizically. In front of him was a huge form, a form of swirls,
spikes, bends and curves. This was Shenlong, The Eternal Dragon. "Goku, a have sensed
a great disrubance in the delicate fabric of reality." The Dragon stated. Goku had
never seen the old one so unereved.
"Someone- or Something- has been warping the other realms, draing their energy...
Something evil." "What do you mean? What other realms?" Goku looked
puzzled. "The realms of the afterlife, like the one King Kai resides in, and the
realm you call hell." Shenlong's voice lowered. "I have now become aware that
some being, has absorbed all the occupants of these realms, so that all that have died,
have now become a part of this... entity. Goku, what you need to understand, is that he
has gained the power, memories, and knowledge of each soul that has become a part of
him." Goku stammered, "You mean..." "Yes, even your two sons, and the
power of Vegeta and countless others have been added to this monstrosity." Shenglong
regreted his harsh tone, becasue Goku was obviouly in great pain. My friends... my
family... all a part of some montser... Goku thought to himself. "You
through channelling my power, I have learned that this being thirst for only one thing,
destruction. You must stop it. The remanants of your Saiy-Jin race do not have the power
to defend themselves from something this powerful." Shenlong stated.
"But Dragon, if this thing is all those in the afterlife..." Goku trailed of,
regaining his composure and trying again, "How can I fight my own family? My best
friends?" Shenlong thought to himself. "This will be difficult, but fighting
your friends will not be your first concern. Because this creature is composed of all
those passed away, he holds the knowledge of my Namekian creator, Kami, and the creator of
my second incarnation, Dende. Through them, he has found away to neutralize my abilites...
What I'm trying to say, is that if you fight him, you will fight him as a mortal."
To the Dragons surprise Goku said nothing. He simply stood, starring into what passed
for the sky in Limbo. After several akward moments, he finally broke the silence. "I
know what I must do." With that, he placed his forefinger and ring finger against his
forehead, and shimmered out of veiw.
