3 Probing

The Truffles moved swiftly while Zero stepped off the ship and stood his ground waiting for the Saiyans to arrive.

'What is my total power level in my Final form?'

[258 Million.]

'That should be enough to keep me from dying.'

As the Ship started it's ascension Zero saw the Saiyans approach, in total there were 6 of them, 4 men and two women, wearing beast skins as clothing which Zero figured was the case due to the hunters that arrived prior.

One of the women took the lead and spoke first.

"What are your intentions on Sadala?"

'Good all I have to do is stall for time.'

"I was interested in seeing what was on this planet as I traveled back to my homeworld, so I stopped by just to take a look. To be honest I was surprised that life was thriving on this planet due to the Gravity, as it took me a while just to get used to it."

The Saiyan women looked at Zero before launching a ki blast at him which he deflected with his hand, added power to it then sent it back. The Saiyan was surprised by this which caused the ki blast to hit her directly.

"Attacking out of the blue is a sure way to make enemies miss, are you sure you want to do that?"

Zero put on a vestige similar to Frieza as he said this, Standing with his arms crossed as his tail swayed lazily slightly above the ground. His eyes narrowed and he let his ki escape from his body to show that he was not afraid of combat despite the numerical disadvantage.

In the debris from the impact, he heard laughter, Loud hearty laughter that sounded as if the person heard the funniest joke in the world.

"We Saiyans aren't afraid of making enemies, in fact, we encourage fighting in order to get stronger!"

Without any warning, the women rushed forward to attack which Zero parried with his tail remaining unfazed by the power behind the attack and looking at the Saiyan with squinted eyes.

"A Race of warriors I see, how interesting. I too enjoy a good fight."

'Fuck! I forgot that these psychos don't care much about threats. In fact, they want enemies just so they can fight more!'

Raising his tail he then smacked her back with force causing the Saiyan to fly into the depths of the forest knocking down a few trees.

'Oracle what are their power levels from weakest to strongest.'

[98,000, 143,000, 213,000, 243,000, 876,000, and the one you just knocked into the forest has a power level of 1.7 Million]

'So between 2 to 4 of them may be Super Saiyans. Out of the frying pan and into the fire huh?'

After their leader was sent flying the other Saiyans started to attack as well with a coordinated exchange of blows. Using his arms and Tail Zero parried their blows while delivering fierce counter-attacks. Knocking them all away before sending a Ki blast in each direction.

His Tail swayed in the annoyance of his miscalculation as he felt this fight was going to be a long one. Before they could get up to begin their counter-attack Zero transformed. In his 1st-3rd forms, his overall body doesn't change much as the horns on his body recede giving him a more sleek look along with a massive influx of power. It isn't until His 4th form that his body changes, His height increases from 5'3 to 5'9 overall he still looks similar to his first three forms except he does not have horns or spikes on his tail.

The 4th form was the form he was currently in as his 5 through 7th forms he was unsure if he could fully control all of his power. Without waiting for them to attack he brought the fight to each of them incapacitating the 4 weakest ones until only the strongest duo remained.

Noticing the overall massive increase in power of the Alien before them the two Saiyans started their transformation as well. With loud screams the two Saiyans turned into Blonde hair, Blue-green eyed versions of their former self.

'Oracle what are their power levels now?'

[237 Million and 392 Million Respectively.]

'Fuck! My first fight is a boss fight!'

"It looks like I have no choice."

Placing one leg over the other Zero joined the two Saiyan women in the air while he too underwent a transformation. His Body compressed and reformed back into his original and final form.

"It would seem that my visit to this Planet was a fruitful one. If the first Inhabitants are this powerful, what will the rest of them be like?"

This question Zero asked was probing for information, he wanted to know if there were truly more Super Saiyans or even the Super Saiyan God. And like fish, they took the bait.

"There are beings on this Planet far more powerful than us, we are just members of a lower-ranking tribe under King Sadala. His Majesty is far stronger than us all."

Zero's pupils dilated further when he heard that, as his hypothesis was completely true King Sadala is most likely a Super Saiyan God.

'But if that is true then he wouldn't have died in a mere internal conflict, there is something more to the destruction of Sadala than this, so much so, that not even the God of Destruction Beerus knows why the planet was destroyed.'

The Two stopped talking and attacked Zero together, In terms of Raw Strength the two far outclassed Zero when working together, in order to stand a chance at survival he had to separate the two and get rid of the weaker one first. With that, he could at least get a chance to test out the Zenkai boost he got from the Saiyans by battling with the stronger one.

Using his tail in the midst of the barrage of fists thrown at him by the Saiyan women, he grabbed the wrist of the weaker one before tossing her down to the ground below. Then charging up a ki blast with his left hand while using the right to defend he launched an attack at the stomach of the other Super Saiyan launching her back due to the unexpected attack.

Taking this small window of opportunity Zero flew down to where the Saiyan landed coating himself in his ki to increase his speed. Using his feet he landed on the Saiyan's chest and stomach forcing the air out of her lungs and knocking her unconscious.

He looked up at the enraged Saiyan flying in the Sky and he responded with a snort before flying back up to resume their battle.

As the Fight continued Zero became more and more disadvantaged yet in order to give the Truffles as much time as possible to Relocate he battled on. After exchanging countless blows the Female Saiyan noticed that she was more powerful than Zero but she could not gain the advantage due to his control over his ki and his hand to hand combat skills.

Using his tail to disrupt the flow of the battle and gain a bit of distance he charged up a giant energy ball with enough power to reduce Planet Sadala to nothing more than space dust.

"It was a privilege to experience the ferocious nature of Saiyans but we are going to have to cut this short. I have other things to do."

Zero launched the energy ball at the Saiyan then took flight into orbit without looking back to give her the impression that he was indeed out to destroy the world. Once he was far away from that Saiyan his body lost the previous vigor it once had as the hidden injuries from his battle became all the more apparent. Every aspect of his body hurt as he transformed back into his first form.

'The strain of using that Transformation is more dangerous than the fight, I thought my body was going to explode from the inside out the entire time. My power may not be at the level of the Saiyans during the Tournament of Power but damn, Just learning how to control your own power so that you won't destroy yourself is difficult. If that battle went on for another 5 minutes I think I would have died on Planet Sadala.'

A few moments later the Zenkai boost hit him sending him through an exponential level of pain nearing what it felt like when he was assimilating the genetics of a Saiyan. During this short period, Zero's body was imprinting on the injuries and learning from them. This caused him to get a much better understanding of the overall battle as well as allowing his body to adapt to its newfound power. After which his body showed signs of recovering.

'This is a Zenkai boost? If Saiyans knew what they were doing Universe 7 would have a Saiyan God of Destruction because this makes all other races insufficient to be compared. I still have a long way to go before I can be considered a truly powerful being. Not only that but being alone will put me at a great disadvantage, The Frost Demons cannot be trusted, the Saiyans are ruthless, and the Truffles…'

Zero seemed to have dawned on something as he thought of the Truffles as he spared no more time thinking about his Zenkai boost and headed towards the battleship orbiting Planet Sadala. Entering the ship he said nothing as he said he got what he needed from this planet for now and that they would come back when he was more powerful to further investigate the entire planet.

'The Truffles are currently weak and docile, however, if I add Saiyan genetics to Truffle I can create an entirely new species as the two extremes should balance each other out. Instead of the Truffleist Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball GT these would not be either Truffle nor Saiyan but have the smarts of the Truffles with the power of a Saiyan.'

Zero looked over at the First Truffle he encountered, Ringo. Ringo has visited Zero every day during his time on Planet Plant and the two have become rather close. So much so that the young commander introduced Zero to his wife.

"Ringo, did you see the power of the Saiyans?"

Ringo looked up from the scanners and at Zero as he vividly remembered the battle that just transpired.

"Of course, I was honestly afraid that you were going to be killed, such power has never been seen on Planet Plant."

"What if I said that I had the ability to make you the perfect balance of Truffle and Saiyan, therefore you would have all of their strengths but none of their weaknesses. While also retaining your intelligence and skills as a truffle, would you accept my offer?"

"YES! It's every truffle's dream to be powerful enough to defend themselves and their families!"

'Too Fucking easy.'

"However, you must work for me. Of course, I do not have much to offer right now but once we go to Planet Shamo I plan on establishing something that will make your life change forever. Do you still accept?"

Ringo looked at Zero before falling into deep contemplation as you could almost see the gears in his head rotate at maximum speed as he weighed the Pros and cons of it all. After what felt like decades he opened his mouth once more.

"If I can bring my wife I do not mind such a deal."

Zero tried to stay calm but his tail would not follow his orders as it swayed more rapidly than usual.

"This will hurt, but whatever you do you must not give up or you will die."

'Oracle modify his genetic sequence adding the traits of a Saiyan, do not add the Tail nor any other genetic traits that will change his overall personality. Also, instead of them having Blond hair and green eyes upon transforming into a Super Saiyan make his hair turn White with Red eyes in tribute to Baby the Truffle Neo Machine as this Idea stems from him.'

[Beginning Genetic Modification]

'I had to flee for my life this time but I promise that before your destruction I will be back to Planet Sadala, your secrets are far too interesting to leave buried. Not only that but you allowed me to gain something that will allow me to progress far more smoothly on this rocky path.'

Zero watched as the Ki in Ringo's body was ignited by the addition of Saiyan DNA, his original slim body became more defined as his shoulder-length hair spiked forming thin spikes on the sides that grew downwards and thick spikes on the top that grew forward. His original 25-30 looking face changed into one that looked as he was in his mid to late teens, he grew 3 inches to a height of 5'9.

'I think I have created something that would make those Saiyans on Sadala seem like nothing more than mere uncivilized monkeys. All of their strengths with none of their weaknesses the perfect balance. Even though now they won't be all that powerful, Rome wasn't built in a day. With the Addition of Saiyan DNA, I can feel that my life force is much much stronger than before so I have nothing but time.'

When Zero finished modifying Ringo he stepped back and looked at the former Truffle.

"Truffle is no longer fitting as you aren't the weak docile individual you were before but a member of a Proud Warrior Race that will be known for both its strength and intelligence. I will call it The Kianko (Derived from the Japanese word for equilibrium) race."

Zero looked at the unconscious Kianko with eyes full of excitement as he could not wait for the day he got to witness an Ascendant (Super Saiyan) Kianko.
