I've decided to rewrite my one of my old fanfics completely different I do not own dbz or the cover pic just my OC even though he looks like Cumber
(AN: Hello everyone! So this is a rewrite of an old fic of mine. Honestly I hated it before, and then life happened and I got busy and had to drop everything but now I'm trying to do this again. My Raditz fic is still there and I'm still considering how to approach it again to continue it and give it the love it needs... For now tho my new vampire fic will be my main fic and this one will be something I work on when I need a break from the other one as I know my ADHD brain will need different outlets and stimuli.. So here it is everyone hope you all enjoy!......if you don't keep it to yourself tho cuz the amount of fucks I give is at rock bottom ya dig? Now onto our regular scheduled programming.)
[YOU DIED]
A transparent screen hovers in front of my face telling me I died and it doesn't mean I died in a video game or anything like that I actually died.
{flashback no jutsu}
My name is Wess, I'm 35 years old, and I woke up today like any other, completely hungover.
See right out of high school I decided to do my patriotic duty and join the army in service of my country.
After years of fighting and killing the army decided for me that I was done. Only problem was that I no longer have the ability to fit in with society and ended up being homeless for a while until I picked up a job at a grocery store that allowed me to live in the attached apartment upstairs.
Making a comeback you might think, but no… see I still have problems connecting with people, and I have to live with the constant dreams reminding me of my time in the service. There's no escaping the beast inside it seems. Escaping into anime, manga, and video games was my only relief from the constant strain trying to live normally placed on me.
But anyways, I pull myself out of bed and into the shower so I can go do a few errands before my shift in a few hours.
After getting ready for the day in my second hand clothes I head downstairs.
Unfortunately for me I was walking right into what appeared to be a "stick up". That's right two armed baddies trying to empty the cash registers and poor Mr. Finkstien lying in a puddle of his own blood with a knife wound in his belly.
Now a normal person would probably hide or call the cops but I was just given the excuse to unleash the beast, besides if Mr. Finkstien dies and these guys get away then his family will have a harder time. The people who took me in… no says I.
I snuck up behind one of the masked men and wrapped my arms around his neck and with a twist I ended his life with an audible *crack*. The sound of his neck breaking unfortunately alerted the other assailant however. And when he turned to face me the gun in his hand went off as the palm of my hand met his nose breaking it pushing to bones deep into his brain. But the damage had also been done to me leaving a gushing bullet wound in my chest where my heart is.
Falling to the floor I made sure to watch the life flee from the last guy's eyes as I gasped for breath several times. "Fuck..*gasp* atleast.. *gasp* they didn't..*gasp* get away... hah..." I gasped out before letting out the last bit of air in my lungs and the world started to fade.
{flashback end}
[YOU DIED]
The screen still said in my eyes. "Well shit... Wonder what happens now.."
[USER HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPAWN IN A DIFFERENT WORLD DO YOU ACCEPT]
"A different world? Do I get to choose" I asked the floating text box.
[AFFIRMATIVE. THE USER GETS TO CHOOSE THE WORLD BUT THE BODY WILL BE CHOSEN BASED ON THE WORLD THE USER DECIDES]
"Well in that case I'm fucking in! I want to go to Dragon Ball Z right after Goku and Raditz take each out!" I say excitedly. Out of all the worlds I could have chosen it was always going to be Dragon Ball Z for me. I remember watching the series as a child and I always loved it and as an adult I loved reading the manga so there was really no other choice.
[SELECTION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. BODY BEING SELECTED]
[SEARCHING]
[CONFIRMED. USER'S NEWEST SAIYAN CHARACTER FROM XENOVERSE II HAS BEEN SELECTED. KI SKILLS REMOVED. QQ BANG REMOVED. TRANSFORMATIONS SAVED AND LOCKED UNTIL KI RESERVES MEET REQUIREMENTS.]
"What?! No... He's only level 1 I only just created him and added my new Saiyan God transformation to him. Pick my level 100 Frieza race or even my other saiyan character... Come on please.." I pleaded.
[NEGATIVE. FRIEZA RACE CHARACTER IS TOO POWERFUL FOR THE WORLD YOU'VE CHOSEN AS HE IS STRONGER THAN GOKU AT HIS PEAK DURING THE SUPER INSTALLMENT AS IS YOUR OTHER LEVEL 100 SAIYAN CHARACTER.]
"So much for being OP throughout the whole thing and just living comfortably. Oh well I guess lets do this.." I said dejectedly but I guess I understood.
[USER MAY MAKE 3 WISHES. IF THEY ARE REASONABLE THEY WILL BE GRANTED]
"Okay... Well I made that character as a bit of a joke so he's hideous. My first wish is to have the appearance of Cumber from Legends since it's not canon and I don't have to worry about the actual Cumber showing up."
[WISH IS ACCEPTABLE. CONFIRMED, NEXT WISH]
"Okay.. I guess my second wish is to have all the knowledge of spirit control. It's better than normal ki manipulation so it'll be more beneficial for me. Now I'm not asking to automatically be able to use all the techniques that come with it, just the knowledge about it to practice myself." I requested.
[WISH IS ACCEPTABLE. CONFIRMED, NEXT WISH]
"Whew... was worried you wouldn't accept that one... Well for my last wish I would like an inventory with an infinite supply of Fruit from the Tree Of Might." I requested hopefully.
[WISH IS DENIED. ALTERING...AN INVENTORY. 1 FRUIT FROM THE TREE OF MIGHT WILL BE ADDED AT THE END OF THE SAIYAN SAGA. 1 FRUIT WILL BE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH SAGA]
"Well I knew that one was a long shot, but I think that's still pretty good. Okay then! I'm ready! Thank you for the opportunity!" I said excitedly.
[CONFIRMED. USER IS WELCOME. GOOD LUCK.]
The text read one last time before everything went black once more..
.................
Suddenly a gust of hot air brushed across my face and through my long black hair. Then I noticed the feeling of a metallic mask over the bottom of my face.
Opening my eyes I saw that I was surrounded by a vast wasteland that gave me flashbacks of the deserts of my old world where I spent a good bit of time during the war. Then I felt something flick against my leg that brought me out of my shock.
Looking down I saw a glimpse of something brown and fury. I then took a look under my arm behind me and saw a long brown tail jutting from my tailbone area. "Well... guess the tail comes with looking like Cumber..." I mused aloud. I sat down and thought about my situation. 'I need to start meditating so I can figure out how to hide my BP. Kami has probably noticed already since I'm just a bit more powerful than Raditz at this point if I'm really inhabiting the body of my game character.' I thought to myself. 'I guess I'll just make something up if I'm asked how I got here without anyone noticing. Once I figure out instant transmission I can just use that as an excuse.'
I then thought about spirit control and what I needed to do for the next few hours, and began meditating.
A few hours later I had managed to sense my BP and lower it to nearly nothing. I had also felt various BP's all over the world guessing who was who. I know Piccolo is somewhere in another wasteland area with Gohan about to begin his training. I can also feel a few other BP's somewhere above the earth. 'The earthlings at Kami's lookout.' I thought.
'Do I go interfere with any of them or do I go do something else to train? I need to get stronger if I want to take part in the fight with the saiyans when they get here in a year..' I mused. Honestly these saiyan genetics were making it hard to focus on anything else other than the prospect of facing someone strong. 'This will take some adjusting to..' I thought. "Welp, I think I'll let the earthlings alone for now since I don't want to deal with Kami just yet. Piccolo it is.." I said aloud before picking his ki signature out and flying in his direction.
It took me a few moments to get the hang of flying but somehow it was instinctive for me, it was just like my body knew what I needed to do and just did it. The only problems I had was when me thinking about it messed myself up instead of relying on my instincts. But I got it down in no time and eventually landed on a rocky peak watching Piccolo depart from the young Gohan. 'Must be when he leaves him to learn how to survive on his own.' I thought before following Piccolo a mile away.
"You just going to follow me or what is it you want?" The gruff voice of Piccolo asked as I landed behind him.
"You're the namekian that killed Raditz yes?" I asked
"What's it to you? I felt your ki signature appear a while ago then you lowered it immensely a couple hours later.. What are you hiding for? Want revenge for your friend?" Piccolo asked getting himself into a fighting stance.
'Must have noticed my tail and assumed.' I thought 'Doesn't matter, that actually works better for me.' "Actually no.. See I was a few planets away when I felt Raditz's familiar ki signature and used an ability to get here. I noticed the average ki level of this planet was lower than my own so it took me some time to figure out how to lower my own to fit in. Truthfully I was just looking for familiar faces since my race is pretty much extinct now.. even more than yours namekian." I said, my voice sounding even strange to my ears coming through the mask on my face.
"What do you mean my race?" He asked a bit confused.
"You don't know? You're a namekian... You know.. From Namek.. The planet.. Only a few hundred of your kind living there in peace and harmony and all that bullshit.." I said in a way like it should be common sense.
"I don't know anything about that.. Anyways what do you want now?" He asked lowering his guard only a bit.
"Just curious as to what is going on. Why did you take the little saiyan boy and leave him back there." I asked pointing my thumb over my shoulder in the direction of Gohan.
"Training... More of your kind are coming in a year.. As it stands now we'll stand no chance I'll admit." He said with a bit of a growl obviously unhappy at being weaker than anyone else.
"I see.. More saiyans coming here huh? I imagine if you lose this planet would become more of a dust ball shit hole than it already is." I said with a bit of a sneer. Honestly I don't know why I'm talking like that... Fucking genetics...
"So what... You going to join them or what.. I still don't know what you want..." Piccolo says looking at me suspiciously.
"Hmm. I think not... I was what my people call an infiltration baby and sent off as trash when I was born so I have no loyalty to them. I was always adept at sensing other's ki that's the only reason I recognized Raditz's ki signature as we were the same age and I was sent off at the same time as he took his first mission." I told Piccolo. "Any ideas on who is coming?" I asked even though I already knew.
"Someone Raditz called Prince Vegeta and his other lackey Nappa.. He said they were many times stronger than him." Piccolo said lowering his guard even more while looking at me up and down.
"Well.. Prince is it? He will be a strong one... An elite class saiyan.. Much stronger than either of us even put together...I'll tell you what, I'll help you and your little planet, seeing as I have nothing better to do since I don't like to live under anyone else's thumb." I offered.
"Fine.. I wouldn't be able to stop you anyways... The only reason I could kill Raditz was due to Goku's sacrifice. Besides if I train with you I may be able to surpass Goku.." Piccolo said with a smirk.
"Sounds good to me... Although we will only get so far without some help...You and the other earthlings will have trouble. The saiyan's home planet had a gravity that was about 10 times this planet's gravity... One of the reasons my people were so strong." I told him and he looked utterly shocked at the news. "If you have some smart folks on this dust ball they could create us a room to train in using the parts of Raditz's pod." I told him
He thought about what a said for a few moments.. "A room that can increase gravity inside?" He asked and I nodded in reply. "I know someone who could probably help... Lets go collect the boy then the pieces of the pod.." He said before walking past me. "Know something though... If you betray us, I know I can't kill you just yet but I'll figure something out eventually." He said stopping at my side..
"Noted green man.. The name is Cumber by the way.. you?" I introduced myself. I decided to take the name since I took the man's appearance.
"Piccolo Jr. Enough chit chat lets go..." He said before taking off flying towards Gohan..
(AN: I want to be clear. The MC is NOT the actual Cumber! He only has his appearance. He is essentially a level one Saiyan from the Xenoverse game. He still has all the transformations he had unlocked for the saiyans but cannot access them until his ki level reaches appropriate levels. Saiyan God can be used in the game when he gets 3 ki bars I think so, that is his cheat for this series. He'll be able to access that or all the other saiyan transformations but honestly I think the new god transformation is better than the rest since it doesn't drain ki or stamina, and according to many of the forums I found the multiplier is 3,250,000 x base. I probably wont have him reveal it off the bat tho so he can go through hardships and get zenkais to increase his base power. For a while he'll only be transforming in dire situations. Or maybe I'll be looking into another transformation he didn't get from the game.....Thanks for reading)
