Fandom Dragon Ball: Limitless!

[Genon]

Meanwhile, while the girls were off training, Korvaiis waited for Karas to awaken before addressing him.


"Yesterday you asked me about communicating with 'every' Saiyan. Last night before I went to sleep I compiled a list of Saiyans I want to remain off of the list and out of communication. I have since sent that list to you, so please look it over carefully before broadcasting again today." He asked.


On the list included the following individuals to leave out of communication:


* The Rulers of all 17 home worlds as well as their closest advisors


* Commanders Keeldh of Metahnn, Commander Aleks of Igliis, General Nelher of Kiirien, and General Bramos of Myende


* Scientist Yearnes of Metahnn's Ki Research Division


The list included many others, but these were the primary individuals to leave out and to their fate. The Commander's logic was that they were either in league with what was going on, or they were simply too engrained in the old ways to be good for the future of the Saiyan Race. Perhaps it was not his place to make these kinds of decisions, but he knew who his allies were and he knew who held the kind of hatred for Inecros that would make them listen to the Commander's plea to escape from the impending disaster.


As for who responded beyond those whom the Commander knew about?... Time would tell.

Karas awoke a few hours later in his rather modest microgravity bed. He had slept right through the robots returning to solid ground, what with the 16-hour workday yesterday. With so much space and so many Credits going towards the incredible technology that made the ship outperform normal Saiyan craft, he didn't have the room for very luxurious accomodations. However, his ship had good enough accommodations for one, and average accommodations for two people. He opened up the privacy door, took a shower, did the rest of his morning routine, and emerged from the ship to see Korvaiis waiting outside.


"Hey Commander. How was the training?" He glanced over to Comedy and Tragedy. "My robots don't look that much worse for wear. I just wish I could have made more of them in the time we had before we left..."


Then Korvaiis mentioned who to leave off the broadcast list. Karas navigated on his Scouter to the appropriate message. He quickly scanned it, and replied, "If I may inquire, Commander, the Rulers and their advisers makes sense, but what about the scientist? Technicians like me make up less than 1% of all Saiyans, wouldn't we want as many as possible? Not questioning your decision or anything, just curious. Also, I am a bit curious about why these Commanders are here."


Karas waited for the Commander to respond before saying, "Well, I'm off to broadcast. Thanks for the list."


When he went back to his ship and examined the infection's spread, he saw that a few thousand more ships had been infected while he was asleep, but still no-one who was actually on a planet. A few people on the list were infected, so he promptly removed them from the broadcast. He also adjusted the program to check for specific ship addresses before infection. The people on the list were to be excluded, obviously. He then had the broadcast repeat on an interval, every six hours.


@WhyNot


If Kezmen didn't get the broadcast before, he certainly would have now.

 

[Denezen]

Itta obeyed his commanders order and rested his wounds in bed for the next few days. Not that he had much of a choice with the pain that shot through his body when he tried to move. It was sharp on the first day, but became bearable as his body recovered its damage. He felt slightly demeaned when the food had to be brought too him, his pride wanting him to provide for himself rather than be treated like a child.


About halfway into the second day of rest, the pain had calmed down enough for him to be able to stand on his own two feet. Though he knew he should still stay still and let his body finish healing, Itta was going stir crazy in the bed. Only walking around for a few minutes before the strain became too much and he had to return to bed. He only tried this a couple of times before he figured he might as well endure the torture of boredom and fully experience his recovered body.


On the third day, Itta only rested in bed, his eye closed as his mind wandered. He thought of his fight with his commander, his advice and blows still swimming in his head. His fist twitched as he remembered the real blow he landed. The rush of his blood as desperately fought against his superior in every way. Even as the pain and fatigue slowly left his body, Itta would never forget that fight.

 

[WhyNot]

The broadcast waking him up as he heard about it go on. "Seems as tho I have to go somewhere else" He thought as he reinstated his path to another direction towards a ship that wasn't that far. "Must be some saiyans that will help me or at lest tell me in detail of what's going on" He thought as his ship turned around and heading towards their ship.

 

[Kyero]

Korvaiis looked to Karas when he inquired about leaving out the one scientist, and Korvaiis frowned.


"Not all of our scientists are of strong moral character. This one in particular is a pawn of the King and works almost exclusively for him. On numerous occasions he has created ships which fail on purpose, communicators which fail to hold our frequencies, and even deliberately botched surgeries on warriors returned from Raids."





He glanced to the robots.


"If this one found out about your robots, for instance, I'm certain he'd report their power to the King and have them destroyed. When combined, they are more powerful than the King and that is something that coward would never allow or stand for. If he had to send the entire armada to destroy them, he would do so in a heartbeat."





He looked back to Karas.


"And on that subject, your robots performed splendidly. I was unable to push beyond medium force lest I risk too great of injuries. I look forward to our next sparring match." He said with a smile.

Karas' eyes widened. He knew Saiyans could be horrible to each other. He was living proof of that. But this was another level of evil entirely. "Ships which fail on purpose? Botching surgeries? And all on the King's orders? I...don't even know what to say. I mean, I know we Saiyans can be awful to each other, what with my arm and all, but purposely letting our own warriors die is a line I never thought we could cross."

He glanced to the robots.


"If this one found out about your robots, for instance, I'm certain he'd report their power to the King and have them destroyed. When combined, they are more powerful than the King and that is something that coward would never allow or stand for. If he had to send the entire armada to destroy them, he would do so in a heartbeat."

"More powerful than the King, eh? Truth be told, I was just trying to make them as powerful as possible with the parts I had, not really overtaking any particular Super Elite. I guess I made them tougher than I could have imagined."

He looked back to Karas.


"And on that subject, your robots performed splendidly. I was unable to push beyond medium force lest I risk too great of injuries. I look forward to our next sparring match." He said with a smile.

"A wise decision. You know, even at Full Force, the robots are technically holding back, because using all of their extra weaponry would result in long-term damage. They were designed to kill with extreme efficiency and hold their own against even more powerful opponents. Comedy in particular is frighteningly dangerous when it's fighting to kill. That's because it can actually electrocute an enemy on contact. Even against someone with a moderately higher power level, the electricity should still hijack their nervous system and completely throw them off, making them easy pickings. With a lower power level, it would probably cause massive internal injuries or a mortal wound. Adding to this is the superheated weighted net hidden in Comedy's chest. It can launch this at an opponent, and kill them while they're cooking. As for Tragedy, those guns aren't for show. The plasma launchers on the shoulders are designed to bombard cities miles away, the projectile launcher's a full-auto railgun, and the laser can cause serious burns even against a slightly higher power level like yours.


Karas rubbed the back of his neck. "If you want, I could add in a command that causes them to use their full arsenal when you get that far, but I would advise against it, especially since it would make it much easier for a hacker to force them into that mode during training and catch you off-guard."

 

[Kyero]

”There is a stigma that men are more powerful than women, but I beg to differ. I’ll show you the power of a Saiyan who is also a woman!”




​

​

"To grow up alone is a fate unbecoming of a Saiyan, but it has made me stronger than I dared hope. I can only continue to hope, and with luck I'll always have Era by my side to push me to even greater heights."




​

​

The Commander thought about the offer for a moment.


"That's all right. Implement whatever safety measures you're comfortable with. But for now, they're fine as is." He said.


He took a moment to scan the environment.


"Have we had any new incoming transmissions yet? As soon as you have reached at least 100 responses, I want a report brought to me immediately. Understood?" He ordered.


Once Karas responded, the Commander made his way over to Era and Sil.


"Ladies, I want a full report. Just what were you able to accomplish today?"





Sil was the one to speak.


"Sir, we have exceeded expectations today. My power now rests at 3,700, and Era's 3,600." She said.


The Commander nodded.


"Excellent. Keep this up as best you can. The sooner you acclimate yourselves to your full power, the better. I don't expect our stunt to remain secret for very long. Someone is bound to notice that Saiyans are leaving the 17 home worlds and come to check it out. I want you both at full capacity."





The two women saluted and the Commander dismissed them and returned to his quarters in the mobile base to rest. The day was ending, and it was time to sleep.


Meanwhile, Era floated up into the air and maintained a seated position as if to meditate in the skies. She stayed up there for most of the afternoon and into the evening, well after sundown. Sil took notice of this, and was growing increasingly concerned about Era's behavior as of late. The new power was beginning to change her old friend little by little. Soon she feared there wouldn't be anything left of the old Era if this kept up. But eventually she dismissed the negative thoughts and decided it was just her nerves. This new power of hers made her nervous about what she was becoming capable of.


Era, in the meantime, continued to meditate in silence in the skies above the base well into the night. The planet's two moons shone brightly above her, casting her shadow upon the land surrounding the base. The entire time she floated up in the sky, she was testing her new powers.


She concentrated on her environment, testing to see if she could do to other life forms what she could with Sil.


It took time, but eventually she felt the enormous power of the Commander below in the base... Interesting. Kendra and Nei's power were next, being around the same level. Both of them had since returned from their daily duties as well and were fast asleep. And then there was Sil's unmistakable power resting at around half of what she was newly capable of. Karas was next, and then Itta. One by one all of her companion's powers became familiar to her, and she identified each one of them accurately.


Then, tiny sparks of life were made clear to her. All around she could sense smaller life forms like the planet's local birds, animals, and even the insects. Not a single creature for miles around was spared from her new power. This strange ability to literally sense the life energy of everything around her was almost overwhelming. There were millions upon millions of tiny life signatures that she'd never been aware of before. Not on any world. Not on any Raid. Her Scouter never picked them up... Nothing.


Era spent all night honing and practicing this sense, as she knew it would come in handy. With this new ability, she would not need to rely on her Scouter for much longer. Once she perfected it, her Scouter would have no further use save for communication. But fighting? She wouldn't need it.


Era was excited about the possibilities this represented, but by the time she opened her eyes it was only a few hours until the dawn of a new day...


"It seems the flow of time continues to surprise..." She whispered to herself.








Before long, a total of four days had passed. Sub-Commander Urod was en route to deliver the news of the mission to rescue the contacts Karas had mentioned.


In those four days, Era and Sil had continued to acclimate to their new powers reaching a total of 5,400 and 5,700 respectively. The Commander's power had also increased with daily bouts against Tragedy and Comedy to a total of 2,900. Nei and Kendra had sparred and increased their powers by very little, but it was a tiny increase.


The Commander was waiting outside watching the skies and, like Sil, had also become suspicious and slightly worried about Era's behavior and her late night meditations, but had chosen to leave it alone.​

 

[Denezen]

Free from the prison that was his rest bed, Itta has been getting use to his new body. The two have actually gone and done removed the limiters that have kept their race held down. In just one fights, he increased his power double the amount he could for his entire life. There was a small hollow feeling of wasted time, the past few years seemingly wasted compared to what he could do now. But that feeling was crushed under his optimism for his potential strength and the knowledge of how to fight weak. If he was an elite at birth, he would be like all the other power heads who relied entirely on their power level.


He spent the first day out of bed getting use to his new level. Though more than double what it originally was, it still hasn't even broken a thousand yet and was easy to adjust to his new strength. He spent the rest of that day out of bed playing with his strength, enjoying himself while he could. He could fly faster, punch harder, move quicker. He could only wonder what it would be like to be an elite compared to a low class sayian he still is.


The day coming to an end, he returned from his day off. He got the lay of the land in the surrounding areas, the forest, hills, lakes, and mountains all fresh in Itta's mind. The sun has finally set on the planet as he returned to base. On his way home, his scouter picked up two power levels, the newly increased strength of both Era and the Commander still outside. Not sure if either wanted to be disturbed, he made his way towards the inside of the base. He wasn't opposed to conversation, just didn't feel like interrupting in case something was going on with either. If neither try to talk to Itta, then he would give a respectful nod to his commander as he passes into the base for some rest.

 

[Webs Elk]

The planet starts rumbling. A saiyan spaceship starts lowering towards the ground. Aboard the spaceship is two saiyans with a total power level of 1590. The ship lands and the docking door opens, with fog coming out. Suddenly the silhouette of two figures appear. The shorter figure goes straight to Era," Hey Era! I took your advice and went to the doctor. The doctors still have no clue what the heck is going on, but they called that hidden form of power you helped us discover the "Potential Force" since they didn't have a real name for it... As you can tell, me and Raze were able to use a little bit of it." Dicchio didn't have his scouter on so he didn't notice Era's or Sil's power level.


Raze, who always has his scouter on to cover up his heterochromia, walked over to Commander Korvaiis, "Hello Commander, we're sorry that we were not able to partake in the previous Raid ... the doctors needed to take tests on us to make sure we were't in danger so ..." He points towards Era and Sil, "Did anything interesting happen while we were gone because I don't remember them having power levels close to 6,000 each ..."

​

​

"To grow up alone is a fate unbecoming of a Saiyan, but it has made me stronger than I dared hope. I can only continue to hope, and with luck I'll always have Era by my side to push me to even greater heights."




​

​

Era noticed the ship coming down and was a bit confused by it. However, within the ship came a familiar presence. She couldn't place who it was, but there were two of them. Judging by the power levels, she guessed it was either someone she came into contact with briefly before, or someone who's power she just hadn't been able to sense and relate to them specifically yet.


Sure enough, Dicchio and Raze appeared from the ship and she made a mental note of what their respective powers felt like. She'd remember the way they felt for future reference so she'd know it was them.


The Commander greeted the two, and listened to Raze's introduction.


"It's good to have you back Raze. Dicchio. As for Era and Sil's new power, you can thank Era's discovery of unlimited potential. I know it sounds a bit strange, but it's the truth. She unlocked a new kind of power from deep within us all which has shattered the genetic limitations which we were previously bound to. I will continue to wait for Urod to return. Era, take these two someplace quiet and safe and perform the ritual with them. I want their potential unlocked as soon as possible."


"Yes, Commander." She responded.


"All right boys. Follow me." She said, turning and flying away.


She flew for almost ten full minutes at a decent clip, making sure they could keep up with her before landing in a small forest clearing.


Turning to the two men, she smiled.


"It's good to see you two again. But as the Commander said, it's time to unlock your unlimited potential. Come. Join hands with me, and we will begin," she said, holding out both hands. One for each of them.​

​

Dicchio grabbed onto Era's hands, eager to unlock the power that he's been working with the doctors to figure out. Raze, also grabbed one of Era's hand.​

​

​

"To grow up alone is a fate unbecoming of a Saiyan, but it has made me stronger than I dared hope. I can only continue to hope, and with luck I'll always have Era by my side to push me to even greater heights."




​

​

Era nodded.


"Good. All right boys. Now for the hard part. You need to synchronize your breathing with mine and let your minds go completely blank. Don't think about anything except the sound of your breath."


Era closed her eyes and began to breathe slowly.


Deep breath in through the nose, slow breath out through the mouth. In. Out. In. Out. Breath by breath, she slowed her heartbeat and lulled herself into a trance as the sound of her breathing overcame all of her other senses until it was all that remained.


She could slowly feel Dicchio and Raze doing the same, which was good.


Era then began to draw upon the power within herself. She reached deep down inside to grasp the sensation of that limitless potential. It took a moment, but she found it. A bright, warm light within the darkness which warmed her to her soul. It was a calming feeling unlike any other. A sensation of security beyond measure, and power beyond recognition. She relished it.


Then, she began to let that power flow through her entire body. At first it would feel to the boys that her hands were merely growing warmer, an effect probably produced by physical contact. But when her hands grew hot, and the warmth crept up their arms, the feeling would not be so settling. It would come as a bit of a shock at first. The feeling of something overtaking yourself. But as the body recognized the feeling as a form of Ki, the mind would settle and allow it to take control.


Inch by inch this warm feeling of unlimited power and potential would flood the bodies of Dicchio and Raze, filling them with new awakened confidence and drive. The feeling that deep down their limits were broken and that they were bound no longer to the genetic limitations which had kept them in the Low Class tier of Saiyan Society would be marvelous. That sense that one had limitless potential was unrivaled in its glory.


Slowly, the warmth of Era's body left their own until they returned to their neutral state. Era opened her eyes and let out one big breath and smiled.


"That's it boys. Your power won't increase just yet, but the next time you enter battle or take a vicious beating, your power will soar. I promise." She said with a chuckle.​

 

[Webs Elk]

Dicchio could barely contain his excitement," Hey Raze ... Let's spar!"


Raze smiled," Sure!"


Dicchio and Raze prepared to train. They got into fighting stances. Dicchio charged up his Ki Kick Barrage. He let it fire. Raze dodged 15 of them but was caught by the last 3,” You got me there, buddy!” Raze told his friend.


While he was surprised, Dicchio charged forward with his fist outstretched,”Aaaaaaah…” preparing to punch Raze in the stomach. Unfortunately, Raze saw this coming, and countered by grabbing Dicchio’s arm and breaking. Dicchio took a sharp breath of air and relaxed,” I rarely use my arms anyway…”


Raze took this oppurtunity to throw Dicchio in the air. Dicchio’s power level dropped down to 432, while Raze kept his around 543. Dicchio used Beam Shot. Raze used Beam Shot as well, and the two attacks collided. Raze shot a power ball at Dicchio, followed by a second Beam Shot, using the opposite hands. His Beam Shots combined to overwhelm Dicchio’s. They hit him,” Guess I win Dicchio.”


Suddenly, Raze was hit by Dicchio’s Ki Kick Barrage, every attack landing, then Dicchio charged towards Raze and punched him in the face, causing his hairline to fracture in 4 different places. Then Dicchio hit Raze down to the ground. Raze stood up and charged for Ki Punch. He charged towards Dicchio. Dicchio blocked Raze’s attack, causing 3 fractures in his working arm. Dicchio countered with a Ki Punch to the face, cracking Raze’s jaw and sending him to the ground. He then charged towards Raze again but stopped when he heard a rumble. He flew towards their shared ship. Raze stood up confused and followed Dicchio to the ship. Why’d you stop, buddy?” Then he laughed as he saw the answer. Dicchio was stuffing his face, albeit half as fast since one arm is broken,” I was hungry…” Raze sighed,” Might as well join you…” He sat down and looked at his clock, noticing that they were practicing for one hour. He shrugged his shoulders and began to eat,” Dicchio, I’ll fix you up a sling after we eat…” Dicchio nodded in approval. Raze made.a.mental note to send a message to Commander Korvaiis that they wouldn't be able to partake in battles for at least a week, 2 weeks at most.

Nei and Kendra had sparred and increased their powers by very little, but it was a tiny increase.


The Commander was waiting outside watching the skies and, like Sil, had also become suspicious and slightly worried about Era's behavior and her late night meditations, but had chosen to leave it alone.

"Well, we haven't had many people actually respond, but there's subspace chatter reporting that hundreds of Saiyans have abandoned their assignments and are leaving empire territory for an uncharted sector of space. I think we both know where they're headed," Karas explained.


"The Saiyans are galactically feared and regarded as backwards and savage, so alien domains have taken significant notice that Saiyans are just passing through unannounced and en masse when we rarely leave our controlled worlds except to pillage and burn. While the actual virus isn't being detected, I'm worried that Inecros will pick up the reactions that other species are having and piece together our plan."


When Korvaiis responded and went over to Era and Sil, Karas went back to remove the specified people from the list.

​

Era watched the boys run off to train, and she herself decided to do something similar. But instead of training her body, she was training her senses again.


Era simply flew away far to the distance away from everyone else. She wanted to see if her new senses had a distance limitation. Based on what she was sensing on her flight, it didn't. She could still feel all of them back at base. She could feel the two boys training and overexerting themselves which wasn't actually the same as training, but whatever. They'd find that out soon enough. Sil seemed to have wandered off and was resting.


But what was even more interesting was she was still sensing the tiniest things around her across the planet. Insects, birds, rodents and other animals all over the world had energy signatures of their own. No matter how small they were, Era could feel them. No matter how far away they were, she could feel them. It was a good thing and a bad thing. It meant her senses were working, but it also meant she had no filter and wasn't able to sort out the ones she wanted from those she didn't.


She needed to change that.


Era found a nice mountain to sit down on, and closed her eyes. She focused her new senses on the world around her, and fought long and hard for over an hour to try and find a way to put a filter on her senses. She didn't want to sense the animals. She only wanted to sense those from her Raid Group.


Minutes ticked by, and then they turned to hours. Before Era even knew how much time had passed she opened her eyes and found it was nighttime. Most everyone had already returned to base, but she was still way out here in the middle of nowhere almost half the world away practicing her senses. She hadn't eaten for most of the day, but remarkably she wasn't hungry. All she wanted now was to hone her senses and find a way to filter out the energies she cared about from those she didn't.


She closed her eyes again, controlling her breathing and continuing to try and find a way to filter all of the energy the planet was throwing her way.








Sil had left after the Commander dismissed her and Era, and had wandered off into the woods to lay down and sleep. She slept for a few hours before returning to the ship and going to her quarters.


She thought about Era.


She was changing. Becoming obsessive about whatever it was she was doing by herself. Era tried to hide it, but Sil could see it plain as day. She wasn't Era's best friend for nothing. When Era didn't return that night, Sil remained awake watching the sky with her Scouter at the ready in case she came home. But she never did. Sil's eyes finally could remain open no longer, and she closed them to sleep.


As morning came, Sil brushed her eyes and checked her Scouter.


Era was still somewhere far away doing... whatever it was she was doing.


What are you doing to yourself Era? She thought.​

​

​

Finally, Sub-Commander Urod had returned. It was a day later than expected,but he returned. Upon his return he reported that the mission was a success, and Karas should have no trouble with the contact's cooperation from this point onwards.


The Commander relieved everyone to do what they would for the day.


He, in the meantime, asked Sil to find Era and find out what was keeping her away as she'd never returned that evening. He then went off to train with Tragedy and Comedy again.


Sil flew out towards where her Scouter said Era was waiting and found her seated quietly on the tip of a mountain. She floated over to her quietly, watching and trying to see what Era was up to or if she was even awake. She received an answer almost immediately.


"Good morning Sil." Era said suddenly without opening her eyes.


Sil jumped.


"Era." She responded.


She floated a bit closer.


"How did you know it was me?"


"I can sense it." She replied.


"What do you mean you can sense it? Is it the way I smell?" She asked, looking at her clothing which admittedly hadn't been washed in a couple days.


Era smiled.


"No, Sil. I mean I can sense it." She said.


"I know what you said, but what does that mean?" She asked.


Era's eyes finally opened.


"It's hard to describe, but I'll give it a shot." She said, floating into the air still in a seated position.


"It's some kind of new sixth sense I've been developing. I can literally feel the energy of your body and have come to associate the way your energy feels with you as an individual. Now, no matter where you are or what you're wearing I can always tell it's you. I can also sense the difference between your power and mine. The same can be said of everyone in our Raid Group now. I can sense the Commander off that direction training with those two robots. I can sense Karas back at the ship as well as Dicchio and Raze resting after their... training... session, if you can call it that. Kendra is to the South gathering food for the night and Nei is with her. Urod has returned and is resting now."


Sil was dumbfounded.


"How is this possible?" She asked.


Era shook her head.


"I have no idea. It started when you and I were synching our powers together during our acclimation training. I began to feel your energy and I noticed it felt very specific to you as my energy felt specific to me. When I really started to concentrate on the difference between our energies, I began to feel out your power and I noticed that I was beginning to be able to do the same with everyone else's as well. But the problem is that I can sense everything. All the animals of this planet have an energy signature, and I can feel all of them. That's why I've been coming out here. I'm trying to learn to filter it so I don't have to sense those power levels which are insignificant. I just want to sense the Raid Group's or other large power levels that are actually worth taking notice of. Does that make sense?" She asked.


Sil nodded slowly.


"I suppose that makes sense... But why can't I do the same then? Is this something that only you can do?"


Era shrugged.


"I don't know, but I'm inclined to doubt it."


"You know that the Commander will want to know of this when he's done with his training. Whatever this ability is of yours, it means that you don't have to rely on a Scouter doesn't it?"


Era smiled.


"I had a feeling it did. Era, this is unprecedented. This is twice now that you have unlocked a new ability never before known to the Saiyan Race. Think of what you could do and where you could go if you were to present this information to the right people?"


Era shook her head.


"No, Sil. This stays between us for now. The Commander has already made it clear he wants us as a group to have access to the unlimited potential we've discovered. If he learns of this ability to sense energy without the need of a Scouter, I don't know what he'll do. Knowing him he'll do something similar and ask me to teach this group, but who's to say that someone who shouldn't know about it finds out someday and it comes back to bite us? No. We must wait for now. Please Sil, for me, keep this between us for the time being. I will tell the Commander when I'm ready about my new ability."


Sil sighed.


"All right Era. I'll trust you. But promise me that you'll use this new ability wisely."


Era nodded.


With that, Era floated back down to sit on the mountain while Sil flew back to base to wait for the Commander. Upon his return later that day, she informed him of Era's mental exercises as little more than Era trying to rest her mind and body after spending so much time getting used to her new power level. The Commander was suspicious of the answer, but didn't say much on the subject. He simply excused Sil to her business and sat down outside the base to meditate on what their next step should be.


They needed to make sure that other Saiyans gathered here soon to build their numbers. The more allies they had, the better prepared they'd be.​

 

[Webs Elk]

"Well, we haven't had many people actually respond, but there's subspace chatter reporting that hundreds of Saiyans have abandoned their assignments and are leaving empire territory for an uncharted sector of space. I think we both know where they're headed," Karas explained.
"The Saiyans are galactically feared and regarded as backwards and savage, so alien domains have taken significant notice that Saiyans are just passing through unannounced and en masse when we rarely leave our controlled worlds except to pillage and burn. While the actual virus isn't being detected, I'm worried that Inecros will pick up the reactions that other species are having and piece together our plan."


When Korvaiis responded and went over to Era and Sil, Karas went back to remove the specified people from the list.

After Raze fixed up Dicchio a sling, Dicchio immediately fell asleep," Guess I'll just go and meet the two new recruits ..." Raze got up and went to Karas' ship, and knocked on the door.

 

[Kyero]

Boasting a power level now of 29,000, Commander Korvaiis had a slightly easier time in his battle against Tragedy and Comedy. However the pair were still a mighty force to be reckoned with. After a brief analysis of his previous bout, he decided this time to take them on one at a time instead of both at once. Previously he'd pushed further than he should have and gained little to no new experience because of his blunder. He knew their attack patterns now, but that was of little comfort.


He wanted to learn more, but he could only do that by training wisely instead of all out as if it was the answer to the age old problem of "how do I become a true warrior?"


He began against Tragedy, sparring with the robot first on its lowest force level to re-acclimate himself to the feel of how Tragedy fought. Once he felt comfortable, he pushed Tragedy up to Medium Force and the fight began in earnest. Having gained as much power as he had, the Commander was able to match Tragedy blow for blow. But since it was in inorganic being, every block felt exactly like what it was: striking metal.


The Commander's arms were becoming bruised from the impact of such blows, but that was the point. The more he could push his body and mind, the more he would learn about himself and about how his opponent fought. Training himself to analyze an opponent's style in the face of changes in power level and purpose in battle was a new method for him. But it was a method he wished to explore more deeply as it was pivotal for a Saiyan in his position to be capable of reading an opponent and situation rapidly and adjust himself accordingly for the health and safety of his subordinates.


After fighting with Tragedy for approximately one hour, he called the fight off and returned Tragedy to a neutral state. Afterwards he had Comedy come forth and he underwent the same process. Starting at Low Force before moving to Medium Force for one hour's time and then calling it off.


Once he was done with his training, he brushed himself off and had them return to base ahead of him. He remained behind running through the battle in his mind to analyze and critique his performance. Having a photographic and video-like memory, he recalled every movement from beginning to end against both robots. Move by move he recalled what happened analyzing every facet of how he performed. Every time he was struck by the robot, he made a mental note of the move used to slip by his defenses and practiced a counter to that movement based on the position he was in when being struck.


As a warrior, being able to learn from your mistakes was paramount to survival. The Commander walked through the motions of the fight one by one exactly as they'd happened, but when he came to a point where he was struck by one of the robots he paused and figured out what he could have done to prevent the strike from making it by his defense. Move for move, he practiced for hours well into the afternoon before finally completing his walkthrough of the battles and made his way back to base.


Upon his return, he noticed that Era still had not come back and was growing quite upset.


He activated the communications on his Scouter in an attempt to contact Era, but received no reply. Instead, he heard the faint sound of her Scouter receiving the message from in her "room" on board the base. When he inspected her quarters, he found her Scouter lying on her bed.


This infuriated him.


"Sil'Eph Niir! Come to me at once!" He ordered angrily.


Within moments Sil had come to him at attention.


"Where in blazes has Era gone off to and why doesn't she have her Scouter with her?! You know the rules and so does she! Scouters are to be worn at all times for communication purposes!" He yelled.


Sil flinched, but answered.


"Well Commander, she's meditating on a mountaintop halfway across the planet. She's been there since yesterday practicing a new technique."


"Then go get her! I want to hear from her just what was so important that she thought she could get away with disobeying my orders like this!" He barked.


She flinched again, and took off to find Era.


The Commander put Era's Scouter on a small table outside the base and sat down in a chair right in front of it. He was going to have some choice words for that girl when she came back.

Raze could hear Karas talking to someone. "...and I'll need a hundred Gillesque R90-X Labor Motherboards for the drones. Oh, and what's the availability of Insta-Kits? You say you can get a few? Excellent, send for an Insta-Kit Bastion Model 500."


A little more of this later, and Karas ended the call politely and opened the airlock door. "Uh...hello. Can't say I've met you before. Who are you?"

 

[Kyero]

”There is a stigma that men are more powerful than women, but I beg to differ. I’ll show you the power of a Saiyan who is also a woman!”




​

​

"To grow up alone is a fate unbecoming of a Saiyan, but it has made me stronger than I dared hope. I can only continue to hope, and with luck I'll always have Era by my side to push me to even greater heights."




​

​

Era could feel it. Sil was approaching. The Commander had returned to the base and had in all likelihood sent Sil after her.


I probably should have kept my Scouter with me, she thought.


Sure enough, Sil approached and was not looking too happy.


"I hope you're happy Era. I just got chewed out by the Commander because you forgot your Scouter. He's furious."


Era grimaced.


"I suppose it's time to return then?"


"Right now."


Era floated up and joined Sil and the two of them flew back to base as fast as possible. With their new power levels it was easy to make it back in good time. But when Era landed she saw the Commander sitting in his chair with his arms crossed and a dangerous frown on his face.


"So... The meditation queen returns."





Era said nothing.


"Nothing to say Era?"





She shook her head.


"Just what were you doing out there which was so important that you neglected to keep your Scouter with you like I ordered?"





Era opened her mouth to speak, but said nothing and closed her mouth. The Commander, visibly irritated, stood up and grabbed her Scouter. He walked over to her and forcefully put it in her hands.


"Let me make myself perfectly clear to you Era. This stays with you at all times. Is that understood?" He asked in a low and almost growl-like voice.


Era nodded.


"Good. Then why not tell me what you were doing out there? Meditation doesn't carry the kind of importance for a warrior as being in communication with his or her comrades."





Era sighed.


"I have begun developing a new ability, Commander. I'd prefer to keep the details of this ability to myself for the time being."


He arched an eyebrow.


"You'd 'prefer to keep the details to yourself' eh?" He asked.


"Yes, Commander."


"And why do you wish to do that, may I ask?"


"I have yet to perfect it, Commander."


"... And?"


"That's all, sir."


"So your reason for keeping the details to yourself is because you haven't perfected it yet?"





She nodded.


"... Fine. Lie to me. But the instant you perfect it I expect you to reveal everything about this new ability of yours to me. Is that understood?"





She hesitated, but nodded.


"Good. Until such a time as you have perfected your ability, you are forbidden from leaving the premises. If you attempt to leave I will send Tragedy and Comedy after you and have them bring you back by force. Understood?"





She nodded silently.


"Fine. Dismissed."





Era bowed her head and went to her quarters in the base to rest. That wasn't a fun conversation, but still it wasn't all bad. She could simply pretend to meditate while practicing her new ability. As shrewd as the Commander was, he couldn't read minds so he wouldn't know what she was doing.​

Raze grinned," Same to you, but that's why I'm here ... My name is Raze Forug. Pleased to make your acquaintance" Raze took a moment to inspect his surroundings, noticing all of the alien technology," Pretty smart move, scavaging the technology from aliens. That may become very useful in the future. I must take it that you are a scientist. Although my initial plan was to become a scientist, I decided to take onto the front lines of combat along with my best friend."

[/QUOTE]
Karas returned the smle and said, "The name's Karas Lugdroth. Come on in!" He led Raze to the inside of the ship, proud that Raze admired his work. Not a lot of Saiyans cared about technology. They were more preoccupied with pure violence. "Technically, I'm a combat engineer. I'm just as capable with my fists as with my mind, but I haven't had time to train lately while I'm getting everything set up for the incoming recruits."


"I don't really scavenge anything, I freely trade with them and get to know them. Just now, for instance, I was talking to one my suppliers, a trader with the Zy'leth Confederacy. He's going to get us an Insta-Kit Bastion. Think of it as a self-building city made of nanobots, complete with houses, farms, and automated factories. With that, I'm going to mass-produce labor and guard drones to run the base so that we can focus on Inecros without having to put food on the table. I hope I have a reason to order more than one. We'll see how many warriors show up."


"Say, if you were going to be a scientist, what was going to be your specialty? Because if you want to be a technician like me, I could show you the ropes. I could use some extra manpower around here anyway."

 

[Webs Elk]

Raze looked amazed as he heard about the Insta-Kit Bastion and the Zy'Leth Confederacy, so amazed that he didn't really hear, compute, and recieve the information about Inecros. Then Karas asked about his specialty," I was a technician but mostly for medical purposes. I was thinking of going to the MSS in my hometown but had to turn it down as I couldn't afford to take that risk as I was targeted by a fugirive and forced to start a new life across world. It'd be an honor to learn about all these different alien technologies." Saying Raze was excited would be an understatement.

[/QUOTE]
Karas listened to what Raze had to say. "I see," he replied. "If you want to see what I've done and bought, I guess I'll start with the modifications I made to my Scouter. It was pretty hard to fit a good subspace transceiver in there, but when I was in the PDC I looted just what I needed off of a Borodian spy. Idiot was disguised as my commanding officer, who I knew like the back of my hand. It was just the transceiver, none of his actual mission data--or intelligence--was on there. So after checking to see if the government didn't want it, I had what I needed to get transmissions from the other side of the galaxy in a few seconds. The thing that makes this transceiver different from the model inside of your Scouter is that it has the right programming to connect to alien networks, not just to browse traffic from Saiyan planets. The Saiyans can't really access what aliens call the Internet with their Scouters alone, but I can just don a pseudonym and then I'm commenting on alien videos, joining chat rooms, and most importantly talking to business partners."


"You may have seen two robots standing outside of the Mobile Base. Those are my finest combat machines, Tragedy and Comedy. They have a power level of 20,000 each, and can fuse to create a robot with a power of 50,000 that I call Black Comedy. Korvaiis has been training with them. He still hasn't put them on their highest difficulty setting yet," Karas said proudly.


"This ship has also been tweaked and modded beyond belief. It has a shield generator, basic weaponry, a better comms system, and I customized the operating system to better defend against subspace hackers. Most of the subsystems were bought from different market stations in the Belt of Orion. About a week from here at a stock Saiyan ship's top speed."


"The only real fault with the ship you're standing in is that the subsystems slow it down. A lot. In fact, it in extreme cases it can take an extra day to get to a destination, which when you're in the military is a major design flaw. That's why I'm going to buy a much more powerful set of engines for it."


"Anything else you want to know about?" Karas finished.

((I think you guys will like this one))

​

Era spent the day just in front of the base meditating and continuing to try to filter her abilities in sensing energy. Slowly, throughout the day, she caught glimpses in her ability due to sheer luck of how to do it. There were brief moments where she was able to block lower power levels which didn't mean anything. But they returned all too quickly. She wasn't able to lock onto exactly what it was that was allowing her to block it in the first place. But it was a step forward.


By the time she opened her eyes, the sun was setting on this world.


Sil, in the meantime, spent most of the day trying to figure out if Era was succeeding with her new ability. Era occasionally opened her eyes and looked at small animals and insects. That was surely a sign that her desire to filter her senses was not working if she could find them. She wished Era luck, but that was about all she could do. She gave her friend her word she wouldn't say anything about her ability.


That night Era was going to remain outside but the Commander ordered her to her quarters. Era wasn't pleased, but did as ordered. For the first time Era was made to actually sleep instead of just rest her eyes. The Commander had noticed that her sustained power level (which she normally kept at around 2,000) since acclimating herself to 5,700 had since dropped to 1,200. Her total power level from acclimation had not increased over the last day whereas Sil had increased to 6,360. He ordered her to get some sleep, and so she did.


Once Era fell asleep, she stayed asleep. She didn't intend to, but she did. Era slept in until well passed midday the next day which was uncharacteristic of her. But then a lot of her recent behavior was uncharacteristic of her. But sleeping in had definitely done something good for her. After having gotten just a single good night's sleep after pushing herself for three days straight in meditation, Era's acclimated power shot up like a rocket all the way to its new projected maximum of 7,713.


When the Commander found out about this by examining her with his Scouter upon Sil's mention of it to him he was highly intrigued. Era finally awoke and was rather startled that her power had shot up to its new maximum already. Her surprise was his answer. The fact that Era now had full access to her power after a single good night's sleep after depriving herself of it for almost three days had the Commander curious about something.


He began to silently theorize that since Era was pushed mentally her body responded physically which was a very interesting and dangerous proposition. This was also a new development in their abilities. Saiyan's had, for centuries, gotten angry or psychologically disturbed during combat but it had never affected their power levels before. If this was an effect of their new potentially unlimited power then it was something for everyone to be wary of.


However, he kept this theory to himself. He wanted to test it first and there was only one person he knew of who had the kind of temper he needed to test his theory in full.


"... Era, would you come with me please?" He asked.


"Sir? Am I to be punished for my recent behavior and stay outside the base?"


"No. You and I are going to have a private training session. Everyone else please remain here as I expect our sparring session is going to get a little bit dangerous. Tragedy. Comedy. Follow me!" He ordered.


The two robots responded, lining up behind him.


"Let's go!" He ordered.


The two of them took off together for an undisclosed location almost halfway across the planet. When they arrived, the Commander got on the Scouter.


"All right everyone. Turn on your Scouters and keep your eye on Era's power level for me. I won't be able to concentrate on it if what I'm planning works." He ordered.


"Um, sir?"


"Era. You take your Scouter off and give it to Comedy please. I want you focused on our fight and our fight only. Got it?"


"Of course, sir."


She did as ordered and handed her Scouter to Comedy before taking her stance.


"All right then Era. Show me what you've got. Your new power level is impressive, and I want to see all of it. You hear me?"


"Yes, sir."


The ground around Era began trembling and small pebbles and rocks began floating into the sky before bursting into pieces. The air swirled and churned, and a few tiny sparks of bio-electricity flew out from her body as her red aura erupted to life and her power began skyrocketing from a mere 1,200 all the way up to 7,713. When she was finished, her aura calmed and disappeared.


"Good. Now let's begin."





Era took her stance and flew at the Commander who had dropped his power to 8,000 to make it a fair fight. He caught her first punch and twisted it behind her back, trapping her by clamping his hand on her opposing shoulder.


"You'll have to do better than that Era. Every time you fail I'm going to increase my power and make this harder on you."





He pushed her away and increased his power to 8,200.


"Try again. And this time, don't fail."





Era let out a breath and prepared for another strike. She flew at him, disappearing from view and reappearing behind him. But he could tell where she was. He reached behind his head and grabbed her punch, pulling her around and throwing her aside.


He powered up to 8,400.


"Come now Era. Is that all you've got? You're not trying hard enough."


"With all due respect, sir. I am trying as hard as I can to hit you."


"No you're not. You're holding back and I'm getting sick of it. Now come at me with everything."





Era frowned.


She launched herself at the Commander and put all that she had into her next attack. She punched forward, he caught it. However, she bent her elbow and continued to use her body weight to push further landing her elbow into his jaw much to his surprise. She then proceeded to use her turning momentum to spin into a second elbow with her opposite arm into the same spot. Then she brought up the knee that was coming around and tried to slam it into his side. However, he caught the attack this time and punched her in the stomach sending her flying backwards.


"That's more like it. But you still failed to take full advantage."





He powered up to 8,600 while the punch he landed caused Era's to drop to 7,620.


Era renewed her assault, but nothing she did helped her. One failure turned into two. Then three. Then four.


The entire time the Commander belittled her and embarrassed her with his remarks about her failings. Era was growing angry and her combination of embarrassment and anger was beginning to show the signs the Commander was looking for. Brief spikes in the Scouters saw Era's power jump for but a split second up to nearly 8,000 before returning to where it had been before. Each new verbal jab the Commander threw at her caused another such spike.


By this time the Commander's power was holding steady at 10,600 with all of Era's failed attempts to strike him and he was beginning to make it that much worse for her.


"Come now Era. If you're not good enough to make full use of your new power then what good are you? Tell me. What good are you?"





He knelt down next to her as she coughed and tried to speak through the lack of air in her lungs after his previous attack. Her power had dropped to only 5,400 from his attacks at this time, making her almost half as powerful as he was. Yet he was still pushing. He was still questioning her. Insulting her. Pushing her. Pushing her.


She was getting sick of it.


"I'll ask you again Era. What good are you now?"





She growled, baring her teeth.


"With respect sir... I'd like you to stop saying these things to me."


"What things Era? I'm only telling the truth and asking you what good you are to us if you can't make full use of your power."





Era growled again and continued her assault. But no matter what she did, she continued to fail. Attack after attack saw the Commander retaliate, counter, and belittle her. Her anger and embarrassment were beginning to reach their breaking point, and the Commander knew only one more push was needed.


Era hardly ever broke her cool but when she did it was a very dangerous thing for anyone near her power level. For her now, with access to a potentially limitless level of power, what would the result be? Would she be limited to maintaining her natural full power? Or would she be able to push beyond it? The time was now to find out.


"Era... In all honesty I'm wondering if I shouldn't just return you to Metahnn and let you suffer the fate Inecros has planned for our race. You're proving completely useless with your pathetically sloppy techniques today. Perhaps all that meditation with your new 'ability' has made you soft? Weak? It clearly hasn't made you any stronger. You fought harder and better with a power of 300. Now, with more than 200 times that amount, you're sloppy and weak. It's just sad."





Era's teeth were bare but she was beaten down so much with only 600 power left as the Commander knelt down to deliver the final blow. He whispered in her ear the following.


"... You've lost the right to call yourself a Saiyan."





That was the harshest and most humiliating thing any Saiyan could hear from their Commanding Officer, and it proved to be exactly what the Commander was hoping for.


Era snapped.


With everyone watching their Scouters Era's power level began to surge. Within seconds it was back to 7,713 and then continued to climb just as the Commander had hoped for.


"I asked you to stop..." She whispered.


9,000.


The ground began shaking.


"I tried my best to hit you..." She growled.


12,000.


The skies began churning and the clouds gathering and swirling around above them.


"You... Commander..."


17,000...


"I HATE YOU!!!" She screamed as her power exploded and her aura along with it shooting out in all directions causing near hurricane force winds all across the planet including where the others were watching from the base.


Era's power shot up to 25,000 as she shrieked at the top of her lungs in anger.


The Commander heard Tragedy calling "WARNING!" before it read off her resulting power level. Korvaiis was forced to power up himself and did so just in time to prevent her newly incoming assault from causing more than minimal damage. However he was unable to stop her attack. Even when powered all the way up to his own maximum of 32,000 Era's blow broke through his defenses and sent him flying through the air.


The Commander recovered just in time to catch Era's next blow, but not in time to stop the second. Era began trading blows with the Commander evenly for over 60 seconds before her power began to diminish and return slowly to her original 7,713. By then the Commander had managed to subdue her and held her still and calm her down.


He explained what he was doing and apologized for all that he said. He admitted to using her for his experiment to test if their new ability and unlimited potential would grant them boosts of power when put under duress, and explained as well on the Scouter to everyone...


"This is a double edged sword everyone. While our emotions, when running wild, may grant us greater power it can also represent a problem... Era? How do you feel?" He asked.


Era was breathing erratically and could not catch her breath.


"I can't breathe sir..." She admitted.


"Tragedy! Take her back to the base immediately! Dicchio, Raze! Whichever one of you is the medic, I can't remember, take care of her the moment she gets back! Got it!?" He ordered.


Tragedy picked Era up in his arms and flew back to base as fast as he could while the Commander continued.


"That, everyone, is the problem. While we gain power for a brief period it takes a tremendous toll on our bodies. If we remain like that for too long we could do more harm than good. So now we must be extra careful during battle. If you encounter an enemy who begins to push you emotionally by doing what I just did to Era, do not allow your emotions to run wild. Unless you know you're going to die and it's your last prayer for survival, rein in your emotions. Is that understood?" He asked of everyone.


Once he received a response, he nodded.


"Good. Then return to your duties everyone. I'm on my way home and when I get back I want to see everyone doing something productive. You're either training, working the base with Karas, or gathering food for the night. Now get to it." He ordered.


With that he called Comedy to fly back with him at top speed.


It was going to be a long day.​
