Chapter 38 On Namek

(Brian's P.O.V)

I stood Infront of a mirror and run the razor across my chin. I had a beard. Not really surprising seeing that I'd barely done anything for a whole year and a few months. 

I'd also turned 19 years old. Oh joy. Personally I don't have a problem with getting old, having done it once before. The problem is I remember just how my 20's were. A maelstrom of emotions due to relationship issues, juggling college, indecisions about what I wanted to do with my life…it wouldn't be a lie to say that your 20's sets the tone for the rest of your life. 

I turned away from my reflection and on impulse teleported right above the pool I'd constructed. I hit the water and sank in style. It had been long since I'd had a simple swim. 

I started doing a few lazy laps but even those were enough to take me to the Olympics. I chuckled at the thought, I could probably win any Olympic sport now. Swimming, running, skiing, gymnastics, long jumps oh wow…I was such a massive cheat.

But although the strides I had made were frankly awe-inspiring, they truthfully weren't enough. My body would break down akin to the hulk if I tried to use the Wishing bead as I was currently. I don't even know if I could heal from that. The hulk had enhanced healing but even he, was taken out of the fight after using the Infinity stones once.

The Pure Wish Energy Bead was more potent than an Infinity stone. So my worries were justified.

I could probably negate it by absorbing the wasted energy into my ki but that had major downsides as well. Currently my ki felt sluggish. There was a lot of it of course. Enough to use any of my powers and still remain in the fight for a long time. But it was wasteful. 

I couldn't even turn it into Psionic energy and use that to create a model for another crazy powerful skill. My mental abilities had reached the peak that they could for my level. Meaning I had to ascend to the next level, I guess. In essence I was still a cultivator and that came with rules. The only thing working in my favor, was that I smart enough to make those rules work for me.

So something needed to change.

I'd hoped to deal with Dormammu sooner rather than later but now it was clear that that needed to be a long time goal. 

So end-goal - Natasha. Long term goal -  Dormammu's death and breaking through my mortal level. Short term goals - get my body to a powerful level where I can safely wield the Pure Wish Energy Bead with ease, unlock soul power and train my mental abilities. Finally in my short term goals, get into numerous spars and refine my abilities further. I have a knack of growing stronger in death battles. Plus it was high time to put my Zenkai to good use.

I can easily increase my body strength by making a wish, using strength serums and some hardcore training. But what if I used all of those? No, I doubt that by using Serums I would see a huge increase. But the other 2 methods were viable.

I got out of the pool and turned my body heat up. Steam rose from my skin as the water evaporated due to the hot temperature from Extremis.

So the plan now is to deal with my control issues. 

I walked out of my cabin and started doing Katas. It had been long since I'd done this but I always tried to keep up with the practice when I could. Just like that a few more weeks passed as I used what True Reveal had analysed from Goku and the others to bring my control to a satisfactory level.

I measured my control by just how dense I could compress my energy. Once I got to the point of even more detailed constructs similar to Thena's from the Eternals, I judged myself ready for my next move. 

I had made sure to arrive one year before Raditz kills Goku. This was to not interfere too much with canon but it was probably too late to worry about that now. 

The first step in the long list of getting my body to the peak of where it could go was using a wish to do it. And I doubt that the Earth Dragonballs were strong enough for that, so that left…Namekian Dragonballs. 

I pictured Namek as I'd seen it from my memories and made a gamble. I felt the familiar splitting of my molecules when I jumped but instead of appearing where I wanted, I found myself back at my previous position. 

Seems like the limitations on short range jumps also includes teleportation in the same Universe. I took the ability to it's extreme end, sacrificing it's original function to account for any obstacles when jumping like blocked worlds and worlds far away from my current multiversal cluster. No regrets.

I jumped to Pokemon next, for only a few seconds before jumping back to Dragonball but this time picturing Namek. 

Fields of green appeared in my vision, rolling hills and the sparse one or two trees, surrounded a tiny village made up of huts and green beings going around their day to day activities. None the wiser of the calamity that would surely hit them 2 years from now. 

I had mastered the art of concealing my ki over the course of practicing my control so no one noticed me except for who I was sure was Nail.

I brought up the Interface to review my progress while planning out my next move and getting ready for my talk with the massive power level heading straight for me.

My ki had jumped up as a result of the advanced control exercises I had incorporated into my training regime. 

Even with 30000 in Power Level, Nail had me outstripped by 12000. In DBZ at the initial levels this difference was enough for him to win 9 times out of 10. Luckily, Ki was just one part of my abilities. 

Nail studied me closely once he landed on the ground before me.

"Leave Outsider. We are a peaceful race and take no part in the affairs of the outside world."

His voice was deep like expected and his tone harsh. The mark of a true antisocial. 

I frowned at his words.

" I do not seek to bring harm upon your people…"

" I am a warrior and it takes one to know one. And the only thing we're good at is battle. I will not say this again. Leave and never come back."

At the drop of his words, Ki exploded out of him in a white cloak. No doubt an intimidation tactic.

It feels like everywhere I go, people judge me at first glance and seek out confrontation. This won't do.

I closed my eyes and stretched out my new and unfamiliar telepathy, sifting around the alien minds that appeared like fireflies in my mind until I settled on the huge presence at the center of the village.

"I come in peace Grand Elder please grant me an audience for I have urgent news."

The huge presence felt unsure for a second before a message came through the link.

"Very well."

I opened my eyes to the face of Nail scowling in my direction. 

"Follow me."

He bit out in anger, turned around and flew off without saying anything else. 

I shrugged and flew behind him. The Namekians on the ground started pointing at us while in the air and I waved at them. Apart from the hostile Nail and the ever stoic Piccolo, Namekians were cool. Look at Dende for example.

We touched down before the huge hut belonging to the Grand Elder and Nail waved me in. I stepped forward to enter but he placed a hand on my shoulder and looked at me seriously.

"If you do anything funny, I'll kill you."

I didn't like threats but I still nodded and shrugged his hand off. 

The inside was dimly lit but my enhanced eyesight saw everything clearly. My eyes went a bit wide when I noticed the frankly huge alien before my vision. 

I bowed down in respect.

"It's nice to meet you Grand Elder and I'm grateful that you decided to see me."

He waved off the pleasantries, a bit on guard but still welcoming.

"It's a simple matter young warrior. Welcome to Namek."

His voice had a little wheezing sound and when I looked at him again, I could not only see but also feel in his energy that he was old. Like really old. Nail walked in to the hut and silently stood guard beside Grand Elder Guru. Ready to intervene if I tried to do something.

"I am a seer, Grand Elder and my visions have shown me a great deal about the future of your people."

I stopped to gauge his reaction and I could see I had his interest peaked. His children was his weakness after all.

"But before we get to that, I believe I should properly introduce myself. My name is Valiant and I come from another dimension. I am a traveller and the artefact I use to cross worlds is damaged. I came here seeking the assistance of the dragonballs…"

Nail cut in and walked menacingly over to me.

"You!…"

"Silence Nail. Let him explain himself."

Nail grinded his teeth but backed away. 

" I know how it sounds Grand Elder but I only seek to return home."

"How did you know about the Dragonballs?"

He asked and I nodded at his words, preparing my lie, I mean answer.

"There's a planet in the milky way Galaxy called Earth, a Namekian resides there and he has created his own Dragonballs. Unfortunately, those Dragonballs are not strong enough to help me out. So using a universal map, I found out that his species originates from the Planet Namek. I came here in search of hope."

The Grand Elder nodded in happiness.

"The son of Katas. I'm glad that he still lives."

I smiled and added.

"Not only that. He thrived, becoming the Overseer of the planet."

"I have a question for our…guest Grand Elder. If he has Seer abilities, why did he not foresee his travelling artefact getting damaged. His story contains a lot of inconsistencies."

Fuck. I cursed inwardly.

"That particular ability isn't strong… I don't decide on what I see. The visions come randomly."

Guru held up his hand.

"Enough Nail. I believe he means no harm. Send Mori to gather all the Dragonballs. In the meantime, we'll have a talk with our guest to try and find out, what crisis he has foreseen concerning us."

Nail bowed at the finality on Guru's voice but spared me a brief scathing look. 

"As you wish Grand Elder.
