Chapter 2 A New art of War

Being stuck on a ship with a group of battle hungry soldiers was not how I expected it to be honestly, everyone kind of just does their own thing. I haven't even seen Bardock since after our training session. Accidentally caught Fasha coming out of the shower and I am not afraid to admit I blushed like a little girl and ran out of the room with a raging hard on. I could hear her laughing for a good 10 minutes after the fact, I'm just glad she didn't try to kill me. Not that she could anymore.

It's been a rigorous 3 days inside the training room, nothing but training or eating. Surprisingly nobody stops in to bother me the whole time, I guess they all do pretty much their own thing in between missions. 'Wonder if space Hulu is a thing? There's got to be at least something similar'

The gains I've made however are nothing to scoff at.A staggering 15 points in both strength and endurance, come to find out the easiest way to level up wisdom was to Meditate like my daily quest has insisted I do gaining 20 points their but also 5 levels in my ki control skill. I've completed the daily training twice so far, gaining 1400xp and 10 stat points. Meaning I've finally hit lvl 4 and gained 10 more emergency use only points.

'Not bad, I was almost able to double my power before the start of the first mission. I'm on Shugesh's heels in terms of team rankings.' I think to myself as I head to the ship command center. I know before long that we're gonna drop out of hyperspace right into a shit show.

"Hey it's the new guy, finished jerking it to Fasha when you think no one can hear?" Shugesh yells in laughter at least before Fasha comes and slams an elbow right into his cranium.

"Don't really have time to jack off right now, but she did look amazing if that's what you were asking. Completely grateful to still have all my teeth miss Fasha." I tell her with a small bow in apology. I don't miss how Shugesh looks completely baffled by my answer.

"Scorz, Saiyans do not bow easily. Raise your goddamn head before I put it through the table" Bardock yells at me as he walks in the room. I notice Fasha look over to me giving me a look of approval.

"Sorry boss, thank you for your guidance." I tell him a little with a little added sarcasm than normal.

"Here you little shit, it's our symbol" he says handing me an iconic red cloth, I tie it to my forehead under the 7 separate locks that used to mildly invade my vision. 'I bet I look cool as shit'

"When we land we are splitting into two teams. Tora you, Fasha and Shugesh will meet up with the main force. I want to know everything that's going on before I even set foot in camp. The rest of us are going to recon,get a lay of the land." Everyone lands before we hear Beets over the intercom calling us to strap in and get ready for immediate entry into The planet's atmosphere.

"Exiting hyperspace in exactly 2 minutes, everyone strap in." I hear Beets say calmly over the intercom.

"Alright you heard the man, let's get moving" Shugesh says not at all, smiles for once. We slowly make our way straight for the crew chamber strapping and getting ready just as the timer hits zero we re enter over an insanely large pure orange planet. The coolest thing is the multiple insanely huge temples littering across almost every direction.

"It's beautiful" I can't help but say aloud.

"You say that now, wait till we get on that sandy fucker and we're dripping with sweat just from walking" Bardock adds in with his usual scowl.

"Quit ruining the kids' fantasy, this is his first mission after all" Beets adds, sending me a smile.

"5 Bogies incoming, beginning landing. Prepare for entry. It's going to be a rough one." Beets yells literally the next second. Planetary re entry, awesome. That's what I thought it was going to be like, nope felt like I went a round with Bardock when we finally touched down.

"Everyone out hostiles still incoming, reading anywhere between 2,000- 6,000 power levels from the pilots" Bardock yells out to the squad as 5 jets break through the cloud cover giving me my first look at tuffle air support units.

"FORMATION B17,PROTECT THE SHIP AT ALL COSTS. SCORZ YOUR WITH TORA ON THIS ONE!" Bardock yells issuing orders before flying up drawing damn near all the fire on himself as he weaves and dodges, I notice Shugesh, Fasha and Borgos all firing a flurry of small ki blast obviously trying to guild the jets a certain way.

"Ok kid get your head in the game, make the biggest ball of energy you can and take out a plane" Tora tells me calmly. 'Fuck I wished I practiced this move'

I quickly gather a spinning ball of insanely heavy Ki into my palm, I quickly notice how the air and even the ground around us minutely shakes as a result. I wait patiently until Bardock passes right over us. I threw it directly where he once was, knowing the jets were right on his tail.

"Big Bang attack" I yell causing the ki bomb to envelop 3 whole jets.

250XP X3

"Blaster cannon!" Tora yells next firing a beam he has Ben guides destroying the last two surviving planes. 'Holy shit, I did it I wasn't useless' I can't but smile proudly at that.

"Big Bang attack? Really!" Shugesh hollers in laughter causing me to stagger slightly in the moment. ' i didn't fucking name it you damn midget'

"Shove it Shugesh that was impressive, you're just giving the new guy shit." The behemoth Borgos adds. 'Really need to talk to the guy more, maybe get a weapons spar out of him'

"Good shot kid" Bardock says from above, landing swiftly.

"The base is 350 Kilometers northwest, radio over when you guys make it." Bardock says to Tora, Fasha and Shugesh. They each give a nod before blasting off into the sky.

"Alright guys follow me, our mission is to discover at least 3 to 4 outposts. If possible burn them to the ground, but more than likely we'll just relay the location to base." Bardock said before blasting off with me and Borgos in quick pursuit.

"Hey boss, where are you on the hierarchy for this mission?" I ask Bardock seriously because it's never been put out there.

"Scorz, I run a six man attack squad. Where do you think?" He asked me like I was stupid.

"But who gives you your orders?" I asked him a little irritated.

"The base commander most of the time, but most 'elites' are allowed to issue on field orders to any Saiyan. The highest ranking Saiyan is the King, but in this war he's only considered in the rank of a Captain if he was here right now. Same as me."

"Tell the kid like it is Bardock, racism" Borgos chimes in with a scowl. 'Can't say I'm surprised but it doesn't make sense. Saiyans may not get stronger than 20,000 but we breed like crazy. We make up 55% of the entire P.T.O. At least it doesn't seem like it's to bad, like Bardock said 'Saiyans are made for war, as long as there's war we're content'

"It's not like we get called monkeys and apes everyday, plus most Saiyans are more berserkers than anything. There may be a few outliers but their planning does make sense." Bardock defends to my surprise.

"Got a reading, over 7,000 northwest 10 kilometers. Drop to the ground in 5, remember you two recon first, blowing shit up second." Bardock orders swiftly. 'Really hoping I can get some more kills, 750XP just from a lucky pot shot. Whoever created this system was a genius, addicting and honestly fun when you grow and break limits.' I think hopefully.

It doesn't take us long to get where the readings are, an outpost building guarding the temple designed to look like a sphinx. Cool as shit but from what I can tell these idiots are sleeping. Three men with spiky red hair and punk rock outfits,'now that I think about it this is bojack's clan, as long as King Kai's world is still intact their strongest warriors are unavailable. The biggest question is how strong is their strongest, because I know for sure Bojack was comparable to Cell and his team was somewhere around the androids level.

"Assasination?" I whisper in question to Bardock.

"Think you can handle it?" He asked back with a raised eyebrow.

"Easily" I tell him with a smirk as I float into the open window quickly guild my danger to he neck of the nearest guard. Quickly moving my hand of his mouth as I Slash into his throat, does even have time to open his eyes before he bled out. The other two faced them same, 'I biggest one had a power almost equal to Tora, surprised he let his death be this easy'

150XPx2

450XP

'Nice less than a thousand xp before my next level up, I'll get 750 from my daily workout quest so I just need a few more kills' i think as I quickly return back to the team.

"Where'd you learn espionage? That was professional." Bardock asks me suspiciously.

"My past life" I tell him with a deadpan. He scowls thinking I'm being sarcastic.

"Whatever, we got orders from the base. Apparently one of Hera lieutenants governs this temple, it's a 50/50 if he's here or not. Command wants this place burned to the ground."

'B+!!' dude it's still my first week here I'm going to fucking die. This is completely different from Bardocks hidden B rank, this is a fucking combat quest. The rewards however make me want to just bet my life on it, one of Luffys or his crew's skills, so weapons and powers from different worlds are possible here.'

"Get your shit together kid, it's just one base. Worse comes to worse we transform, I won't let ya die yet" Bardock said with a smile and he charges up and insanely dense ball of KI. 'It didn't say I couldn't have help! This may not be as fucked as I thought. When Bardock does ape his power will be almost 500,000.' I think as I charge a double powered Big Bang attack. Tora joins in soon after.

"You two take out the base, I'll blow the top away. RIOT JAVELIN!!!" Bardock screams as his blast fires, mine and Toras blast hot on its heels. The temple goes up in flames, screams, cries and roars of anger is that's left.

'So this is the best way to gain experience, mass genoside. The quest are more useful to gain abilities.'

"Kill alll survivors watch each other's backs, I'm going to search for the leader!" Bardock yells out orders taking off into the carnage.

"On me kid" Tora says as we run towards a cluster of enemy's.

I find my first target quickly, a female barely older than me, beautiful flowing red hair. She dies from a thrown dagger to the eye. The rest quickly become spooked and look around hurriedly, they aren't ready for Tora to bomb them from above as I kill the unlucky few that escape the bombardement. Fifty more dead, another seventy to the east, we headed there next. I was running towards the next encampment before I'm met by a large boot to the jaw.'FAST!'

"So the Apes brought a chimp to a war, how many have you killed so far boy" the large red skinned man asks with mirth.

CAPTAIN KROTO

POWER LEVEL:12,300

'This is not good, why didn't this bastard appear on the scouter?. Now that I think about it, there were no powers over 10,000 when we scanned, people that can hide their power are so annoying.' I quickly look around trying to find Tora but it seems he's preoccupied with a warrior as well. At least they're about the same level, lucky bastard. So much for saving my points,I quickly put every single point into strength, let's hope I at least come in spitting distance of this bastard. 'Status'

'Not even half, yeah I'm probably going to die'

"206" I say after a minutes of silence.

"What?" The brute asked me in confusion as he gets into a martial stance.

"Since I've landed I've killed 206, the answer to your question old man." I tell him with a deadpan expression before taking out my daggers and getting into a boxing stance.

"Oh you're one of those sociopaths, can't blame ya growing up around that rabble you call a RACE!!!!" He yelled in rage before taking off at me like a bullet.

"Fuck you" I yell back before rolling under his over hand strike, I do glide my dagger just over his shin, inconsequential.

"This is how you kill my people with these little scratches!!" He yells fire ki blasts. I dip and dodge as best I can before I see my first opportunity, a small cover of smoke is being developed from his bombardment. I throw the ebony dagger in my left hand with a flourish, it cuts the air before I here a satisfying squelch. The smoke clears to see the bastard with a dagger half way in his stomach looking unbothered.

"What is this? A children's toy, rubbish" he said with disinterest as he pulls it out,

"GAHH" he yells and as a couple of liters of blood spills out when the blade is removed. The bleed effect, 15% chance to take away 15% of the enemy's health.

"A boy like you acquired a cursed blade it seems" he said as he tried to compose himself, I don't give him those precious seconds. I'm already halfway towards my dagger he threw away. He realizes immediately that he should not let that happen. He's on my tail instantly, but he doesn't realize I don't need either to fight. I quickly go In a flip mid air just as he closes in, letting loose my other dagger right into his outstretched arm. Right into the bicep, he's not using that arm anymore. He staggers and falls to a knee, I'm already halfway done charging my blast. Just as he looks up through the pain the blast leaves my hand barely 40 feet away from him. There's no way he'll dodge in time.

"BIG BANG ATTACK!!!!" I scream letting off my blast that connects directly to his stomach. ' too bad about my dagger still in his arm probably smitherings'

"Is that all boy, dirty moves and half baked teqniqes?" The old bastards said as he stands in the smoke of my blast. 'Yeah talk hard all you want you tough bastard, you can't fool my eyes'

KROTO

POWER LEVEL: 5,778 (heavily injured)

"Yeah I admit that was dirty, but this is war, Honor has no place here" I tell with a smile as I pick up one of my daggers. He quickly rises in stagger and a small smirk appears on his face, as he raises his working arm and body into a loose stance.

"Impressive boy, you brought me to your level and took an arm. Whoever taught you was good at fighting people stronger than them." He said before rush me with a spinning kick, I barely duck under in time. He does into a twist with his planted leg slamming a punch into my forehead.

-248HP

I rise quickly firing blasts targeting his injured side, I finally get him to stagger. Rushing in immediately I scored four slashes across his abdomen. Before he falls to a knee, I'm already behind him with a dagger to his throat, I slash quickly taking his head off his shoulders.

9,600XP ADDED

LEVEL UP X2….. 20 STAT POINTS ADDED

I stagger to a knee, straining my hand to grab my other dagger out of his body. 'At least my weapons didn't get destroyed, now where in the fuck is Tora if he's still fighting that guy that was weaker than him I'm going to be pissed' I think as I get up to head back towards the last place i saw him.

I come to another battle where Tora is fighting the guy that was with Kroto, there locked in a battle of attrition punch's parried kicks blocked, a complete stalemate it seems. 'Yeah fuck that' I quickly launch both of my daggers, landing them right into that bastards back.

"Kill him already!" I yell at Tora, he complies quickly as his opponent staggers his his flys up to his head blasting the guys head completely off.

"Scorz, how the fuck are you alive, that guy had a power level over 12,000!!!" Tora yells in confusion.

"No fucking thanks to you, while you were over here having an epic one on one I'm fighting a bastard three times stronger than me. So I'm trying to figure out why the hell you weee not done yet!" I yell my frustrations.

"Enough kid, the Lutenents coming" Bardock appears out of nowhere. He sported a large amount of bruises and scrapes but nothing major. 'He must have been keeping the majority of the elites off of us'. I look up to see another tall red skinned bastard walking in the carnage.

LVL 67

TORACK

POWER LEVEL: 132,789

"Hey boss, I think it's crazy monkey time" I whisper to him in concern. His eyes widened immediately at my tone.

"What's his level?" Bardock asked in worry because just like the others this bastard's scouter reading was only 49,880.

"Over 130,000" if he didn't break out in a sweat immediately I wouldn't have thought it bothered him at all. He quickly throws an oddly bright ki blast into the sky.

"BURST OPEN AND MIX!!!!" Bardock screams before everything goes dark.

Flashing scenes play in my mind, three large apes against one one man. In the beginning it would seem that with his smaller size and the seemingly low intelligence of the apes would guarantee his victory. However the ape with green armor was easily 3 times stronger than him and was actually completely aware of his situation. He set a trap for the man when he went to take out the smallest and weakest of the apes, just as the man began dismantling the weakest, the strongest with insane speed arrived and crushed him like an ant. Thus the other two apes began rampaging before the strongest jumped into the air and destroyed the artificial moon. Sadly the smallest ape was gravely injured after the encounter and remained on the ground unmoving.

"Wake up kid, we're almost to base" I hear a disgruntled voice rouse me from my sleep.

"What?"I say grogily wondering why I'm draped over Bardocks shoulder.'damn that's a crazy amount of blood going down his back, fuck that's my blood I only have 259 HP left! What the fuck happened

"What the hell happened!?" I ask both my squadmates concerned over my state.

"You were rampaging and the bastard singled you out before I could kill him, don't worry the base is only a few clicks away. Good job on your first mission though kid." Bardock said with a rare smile.

'Holy shit! Armorment Haki, if I thoroughly train this it could be a skill that would last me my whole journey. But can I even use it at this low level of mastery?' With that thought in mind I will my arm to strengthen, except only part of my hand was covered. 'Yeah, that's gonna take awhile, I can probably just use it on the edge of my daggers for now. Defense will have to come much later, sadly.' I can't help but sigh.

"So you gonna explain how you beat that Hera with over a 12,000 power level?"Tora asks, slightly irritated, but Bardock turns and looks just as curious.

"Ran away and stabbed him till his power was lower than mine, then waiting for him to succumb to his wounds before cutting his head off." I tell Tora with a deadpan causing him to sweat.

"Yeah you just stabbed him huh? Crazy little bastard" Bardock said with a laugh.

"Ain't gonna lie to you guys, I'm running on like 99% addrenline right now. Probably going to pass ou…" I begin to speak before my eyes drift shut.

P.T.O KONOSIS BASE

"Awe fuck" I groin audibly as my tank slowly drains.

"Come on kid it's not so bad, you only got banged up a little." I hear Shugesh say to me before tossing my armor.

"Yeah it's awesome I don't need a bed because I end up sleeping in the recovery pod" I add in sarcastically.

"Yeah three times in one week might be some type of record, Scorz the most injured warrior. They'll tell stories about you for centuries to come."

"Fuck you Shugesh."

"Enough joking around kid, we gotta meet the squad to get our new orders." Shugesh said with a sigh.

'Wonder why it's so urgent, probably a new mission. Fucking slave drivers!!' I think to myself mildly annoyed.

"Heard you took out a Captain kid?" Shugesh asked as we walked.

"Kroto? Old bastard was a pain in the ass, kept yelling about how fucked up in the head Sayains are. Can't disagree honestly, but I still have my head so I guess that makes him wrong huh?" I asked him with a smirk.

"Haha, I know that's right. Old fuckers are always trying to spit wisdom before they lose their life." Shugesh adds with a chuckle.

"Still it's impressive a rookie like you killed him, captains are a dime a dozen but they are powerful and hard to put down. Good job kid." Shugesh said as he reached over and patted me on the shoulder.

'Well I guess this is my life now, endless battles on unknown planets, not the worst afterlife'
