2 Earth?

Nion felt numb, his mind in a dreamless sleep.

The numbness gradually vanished and he woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a polar bear looking at him. Before he could react, the bear began licking his face. He somehow pushed the bear back and sat up.

Looking around, he saw an endless plain engulfed in snow. His outfit and scouter were missing which meant he was naked again.

The memories of the past returned to him and he held his head in pain. The events after the planet exploding were a blur but he could still faintly remember the pain. It all seemed like a nightmare to him...

His face contorted in anger.

'Frieza you bastard, this pain... I will find you and tear you to shreds! That's my number 1 goal!' he thought with hatred.

The bear licked his face again, distracting him. He shook his head and threw the thought of Frieza in the back of his mind. He petted the bear and the animal seemed happy as it walked away. He sighed and took a few deep breaths calming down.

He stood up looking at the freezing weather.

'I feel cold but not uncomfortable... Did I fall in a space crack like Bardock and come here? How did I survive? Ah, the immortality thing most have saved me. Where am I?'

He put out the thought of Frieza and his anger away because his priority was to figure out where he was.

He began walking around, the fact that he didn't feel uncomfortable in such cold wasn't surprising to him since he knew he was a Saiyan. A normal human would have frozen to death in his situation.

A while passed, his head filled with the thoughts of the crazy things that had happened to him. He frowned.

'My head begins to ache whenever I think of the void... I can't remember things... Why? Doesn't matter... I just know the memory would be so painful I can't handle it. A defense mechanism of the mind? If I was not immortal, I would have died then and there. Frieza, you bastard!!!'

As his hatred was returning he took a deep breath and forcefully calmed himself. He knew there was no point to it at the moment.

Instead of focusing on the negativity, he tried staying optimistic. He noticed he was naked but since he was not feeling uncomfortable in the cold and no one was in sight, he ignored it.

He looked at the unfamiliar appendage moving around randomly behind him and felt uncomfortable with it. He caught it with his hand and his body instantly shivered, he felt goosebumps all over. He let it go...

'A Tail... What am I supposed to do with that? Let's ignore it for now...'

He casually aimed toward a direction and punched. To his surprise, a shockwave was released from his fist and created a small snowstorm in that direction...

His smile widened. 'Super strength of a Saiyan... I wonder what my power level is? The only thing I can remember seeing in the void was a number over 9000...'

He seemed satisfied as he walked away.

'I need to train and learn how to control my power to do all the things I know I should be capable of. Ki control should be the first step...'

As long as the eye could see there was snow. He walked around for a few hours and yet he found no sign of civilization. He grew hungry and eventually gave up. He felt hunger but he didn't need to eat since he was immortal.

These few hours he thought through his situation and accepted his new life fully and his existential crisis ended for good.

"Now what to do?" He muttered as he gazed at the endless snow and ice in front of him.

He felt hungry and a little lonely.

'Don't tell me this is a world without intelligent life? since there was a polar bear...' he thought with a little exasperation.

'Is this Earth?! Hmm, there should be people around but before I go find people...'

'I must train my ki and see how it works out...' He closed his eyes and began meditating in the cold.

The moment he began searching for some sort of energy within, an ocean of it poured out.

He gasped in shock as he felt immense amounts of energy in his body. The energy was warm and it made him comfortable as it moved around to his will.

He opened his eyes and brought his hands together, he directed a considerable amount of his energy, and a small blue sphere formed between his palm. The sphere was perfectly round, it shone dazzlingly and buzzed with power.

He turned to look at a distance and directed the blue orb toward the horizon. He willed it to move and it did.

The blue ball that was the size of a soccer ball shot in that direction with a unique sound.

A blink of an eye later, a massive explosion shook the sky and earth, the loud rumbling voice echoing in the world. A great sphere of fire the size of a mountain was formed and it slowly turned into a mushroom cloud...

It looked like a super nuclear explosion. Nion looked with his jaw open, his back burst out in cold sweat.

'What the HELL! That little amount of energy is so destructive... What will happen if I put all of it in a Kamehameha or something?!' The thought of it frightened him.

The energy's name was Ki. Ki was life force energy that was used by Saiyans and other beings in various forms such as Ki blasts, etc.

He formed another ball but this time, he put an insignificant amount of Ki in it. It formed much faster, almost instantaneously, the glowing orb was the size of a handball.

He fired it casually and it exploded in the distance kicking up a lot of snow. The explosion was much much weaker compared to the previous one.

Nion tried doing the second attack with only one hand and he succeeded. Another explosion rocked the land...

'That was a Ki blast!' He exclaimed and couldn't help but look at his hands in wonder and awe. He remembered when he was a kid and watched on the TV as dragon ball character did it and felt envious since he wanted to do it as well and now he could...

Explosions rocked the land around him as he practiced his newfound ability, Ki Blast.

Half an hour later and he sat in the middle of countless craters with a frown.

'I can use Ki Blasts, it is fairly easy, I just have to direct energy to the palm of my hand and release it. It leaks a bit since there is so much energy, however, the orb forms, and the blast is successful. After so many tests, I have reduced the leak by half but I need a different method of training to go further. It's all about Ki control... Let's try flying.'

He focused the energy bellow him and tried lifting himself, he didn't succeed at first but eventually, he got it.

The reason he could so easily do it was because he had immense amounts of Ki, the more Ki he had the easier he could feel it and move it at the cost of efficiency since a lot of it leaked due to his abysmal control over it.

He violently shot off from the ground to the sky, he screamed in fear at the suddenness of it.

'It was supposed to be slow! Too much energy.' he theorized as he directed less Ki and eventually he came to a stop. He did not cover his body in Ki, he just used it like a cloud pushing his body around.

He looked down and let out a victorious laugh. He was hundreds of meters in the air. He let out a whistle, his eyes filled with joy as he slowly began flying in a direction.

"YES!"

He shouted in joy as he flew in the sky. Sometimes he suddenly stopped or fell slightly but as the minutes passed, the awkwardness in his flight was reduced to nothing. He had grown used to it.

It was a comical sight, a naked man shouting in joy flying around...

He accelerated toward the direction of the sun and shot off toward the horizon...

His hair fluttered like crazy as he broke the sound barrier. His ear heard the loud noise it made but he didn't feel pain at all. Even though his hearing was much stronger than humans, it was also much more durable to high sounds.

He watched the land pass by with a smile, his focus on the front.

His head was in forward and his hands by his sides. It seemed as if he was standing on a vertical surface pushing him mid-air.

The air resistance didn't hurt him at all, he didn't even feel the need to close his eyes as he scanned the surroundings while moving at supersonic speeds and searching for people.

He flew for half an hour and reached the ocean. As far as he could see, there was water.

He looked back and a light bulb lit up in his head. 'I was on one of the poles!'

He continued flying, he didn't accelerate more as he felt the air around him heat up, he didn't know what would happen if he flew too fast and he didn't want to find out. His speed was around twice to thrice the speed of sound...

Two hours later and he saw land. His initial awe of flying had faded but he still seemed to enjoy it. The land was partially covered in trees and such was visible...

He approached the land and saw a port in the far distance. His eyes saw humans in the port moving cargo and some going in and out of ships.

'This is either earth or a world similar to it with humans...' He concluded and lowered his altitude as he flew toward the port.

He spotted a house near the port, some clothes were put up to dry and no one seemed to be around. He landed near the house and picked up some of the clothes that fit him and ran away swiftly.

He put them on and decided to walk to the port and not fly the rest of the way. The clothes were worn down and slightly damp but he didn't mind at all.

Thankfully, he didn't have the problem of controlling his strength, he felt normal and the only difference was that he didn't feel a limit on his muscles like he used to as a human.

He entered the port and to his surprise, heard people speaking English with a heavy accent of sorts. He approached a middle-aged man who seemed to be chilling and watching the sea and asked politely.

"Where am I, sir?"

The man seemed surprised but he answered nonetheless, "Port Lincoln, young man.".

The name was unfamiliar to him so he asked again, "I drank a lot last night so I am still a little amnesic, can I ask which country?".

The man chuckled, "Must have been a hell of a night if you forgot where you are... we are in South Australia, lad.".

Nion's appearance was similar to someone in his early twenties.

Nion nodded and left, a frown on his face. 'I really am on Earth! The question is, which Earth...'

The man couldn't help but think of something crazy he had seen in a movie, 'There was a movie with someone who had an alcohol problem and ended up in crazy situations when he drank, don't tell me he is like that!'.

Meanwhile, in the US military headquarters. A high ranking general entered a protected room with big screens and monitors. Dozens of people in various uniforms seemed to be going around panicking. Red alarms blared in the building.

"Silence!" The general shouted and the staff froze.

"What is the matter?!" He asked from a nearby man behind a computer.

"Sir, an unprecedented nuclear explosion went off in Antarctica. The energy levels fried the scanner... We don't have an idea of who's doing it is."

The general frowned and looked to his right, "Lieutenant, go call the president. I need to speak with him.".

"Yes."
