Being reborn wasn't so bad when you don't remember having done so. Still, being reborn a Saiyan was awesome. How did I know you might ask. Well, when you're floating in a tank of liquid green stuff and the only thing you can see is the occasional human sporting monkey tails and weird ass aliens, the obvious conclusion is Saiyan.
It didn't hurt that I had my own floating tail in front of me as well. Still, I heard the occasional garbled conversation, too distant to make out due to being in liquid. I spent my time meditating and trying to sense the ki in those that passed by. Meditation was easy and yet sensing people was hard, harder than I'd hoped it would be.
By the age of three, I was taken out of the pod and told to destroy a planet, being sent out instantly in a pod. No training, no family love meeting, just 'go kill people and don't die!' So much for getting close to my family and finding out a way to save them. Months later my pod changed course. It'd taken me a while to scan for earth and figure out how to work the navigation system. Not everyone's a flippin genius!
Hell, I think I nearly broke the damned thing fifteen times out of frustration. Crash landing on earth was trippy or would've been had I been awake. Still, first thing's first, I shut off the pod and hid it in the mountain side where I landed. My four year old body needed real food now that I was awake so the first thing I did was go hunting.
Things got…complicated. I sort of got swallowed by a fish trying to do the tail fishing Goku did in the show. On the bright side I found civilization when said fish was caught by the old turtle hermit Master Roshi. Still, being half feral and starving, I may have attacked him…repeatedly.
I raided his fridge the moment I got passed him and ate everything in sight. I pointed to the fish and to my mouth which he fell over seeing the issue. He asked if I could talk and I shrugged, shaking my head. For the next year he taught me to speak whatever they passed for English, trained my foundation and learned my designation was Ren.
I looked to the sky and told him one night that my brother was here on earth somewhere. He asked if he'd have my tail as well and I shrugged, going back to the foundation training. He taught me basic schooling until I surpassed him in all those fields. Then he decided to teach me how to get stronger so soon I had a turtle shell on my back.
A year later I had trained my tail not to be a weakness and had graduated to the heaviest shell he had. By the time I was seven, he'd taught me the Kamehameha wave and showed me off to his students. I saw Goku with old man Gohan and he looked to be a handful until he saw my tail. He grabbed it and when he bit it, I smacked him across the head with the damned thing.
He lost his violent temperament after that and I pulled off his tail. He cried, but healed fast and played with it once he calmed down. I told Gohan. "Beware of the full moon. Grandpa Roshi says it brings out the bad monsters. He pulled my tail off too saying it keeps the bad monsters away."
Old man Gohan looked to Roshi and Roshi bonked me on the head saying he was still young so I should call him dad or papa. I rubbed off the bump and picked up the four star ball. "See old man, I told you there was more than one. Looks like I get to keep the necklace now."
He grumbled and passed it to me while I set the four star back down. I put the three star dragon ball necklace on and told him I was going to find us dinner. He nodded and I dragged back a dinosaur. The poor long neck had been too tempting to pass up having lived off fish and rice for so long.
Seeing the size of it, master Roshi's glasses fell off. I asked for the big pan and drew my sword. Cutting up the dinosaur into piles of steaks, I tossed on on the pan and made a fire pit. Once a roaring flame was lit, I was cooking up a storm and using the spare seasonings I'd brought.
Between baby Goku, myself and the two old men, we put away a fourth of the dinosaur. Master Roshi left Gohan the rest of the dinosaur and the skillet. I could understand the dinosaur meat, but why my skillet? I had tears of sorrow seeing that I'd need to resort to more cruder methods of cooking my food from now on.
As it turns out neither of us could ride his cloud so we flew in his capsule corp plane. We went to see the ox king next and heard about his wife's death. I apologized for his loss and asked him to spar. When we tied, he saw the dragon ball from my ripped gi and asked if I'd picked it up here.
I shook my head and told him old man Roshi gave it to me. Roshi barked that he was still young and I snickered before asking if he had one and if I could have it. He agreed easily seeing it as a trinket of minimal value. I got the seven star dragon ball and it joined the three star on my necklace while master Roshi repaired my gi.
Master Roshi told the Ox king he was getting rusty if he could barely tie with me, a near eight year old. I grew bored and went to train, telling the old man I'd be going to see the cat man he told me about before. He waved me off seeing as I'd passed his final test by tying with the ox king. I headed to Korrin's tower on foot and wondered the globe with basic tracking skills until I found it. I'd been all over in the eight months it took me to find the place.
I even managed to find the five star dragon ball in a valley in the northern planes. I had no real desire to make a wish and didn't exactly need them for anything at the moment so I just wore them like a necklace. I climbed Korrin's tower and ended up spending several days doing so until I reached the top. I was tired and hungry when I reached the top and saw the cat with a stick watching me.
I groaned. "F-food, water, please."
He gave me a senzu bean and I was fully revived with one bean. Still, I drank a jug of water and worked out the kinks in my body before thanking him and introducing myself as Ren. I'd bowed politely and asked him to train me. He gave me his mystical water speech and I chased him all over the tower, only stopping to eat and sleep.
I did sneak up on him when he was pretending to sleep once and grabbed him, not his staff or water. I used him like a pillow and went to sleep, waking up to do it all over again, determined to catch him and the next day I did. I'd caught him in three days and smiled, asking for the mystery water. He gave it to me and it tasted like regular tap water.
He told me the trick of the training and I put on my turtle shell, telling him to start over. He smiled and called me crazy. A week later I caught him to his surprise and asked for half of his senzu beans since they were so good at giving me energy I could use to train with. He didn't see an issue with it so I packed ten senzu bean jars into a bag and he gave me a capsule for them.
I put some in a pouch and put the rest in a capsule, thanking him for everything. He offered me a cloud and I shook my head. "Grandpa Roshi had one and it didn't like me. He said I'm not pure of heart."
Korrin laughed and told me to try again. I shrugged and jumped to the cloud which surprisingly caught me. I smiled and hugged it laughing at the softness. Korrin told me Master Roshi's was temperamental because he was an avid pervert and while it was true one needed to have a pure heart to ride it, not all of them were as picky or judgmental because pure of heart was a state of mind.
I tilted my head and shrugged, trying not to think about it to much. I pulled off the softest piece of cloud and asked if it wanted to come with me. It agreed and floated me down to the ground after I said goodbye to master Korrin. I told Kintoun to go follow from above because I had to train.
I walked on my hands, avidly sensing power levels while working on various issues in my mind. When I reached west city several competitions were going on so I joined one and got a thousand Zenii, the currency of this world. I gave it to some orphans I passed and stopped several muggings before going back into the wilds for the next two odd years. I swam, ran, crawled and trained wherever I went, using no technology and only using kintoun as a pillow at nights.
I roared at storms, King Kong style and fought dinosaurs, animals and all sorts of martial artists in my wanderings. When it was time, I swam to Kame island and told grandpa Roshi I was going to enter in the world martial arts tournament. He took his turtle and we talked while I swam alongside the turle. I told him everything from my adventures and the things I'd done.
I told him how I didn't like cities much because they smelled bad and people were mean. I had to stop and swat a shark school that scared Turtle, but we made it there in time with a couple hours to spare. Grandpa Roshi handed me a new gi with the turtle hermit school emblem on the back in big bold letters with a smaller emblem on the front. He watched as I defeated my opponents with ease and disappeared to try his hand as a master of disguise.
In the end it was a battle between him and myself so I gave it my all and won when he forgot about my tail and I used it to trip him out of the arena. I helped him up and thanked him for the fun match. I was beaten ragged like him, but I was also the winner so damned if it wasn't fun. We used the money for a food celebration and buying Turtle a shell warmer along with him using the money to buy some nudie magazines.
I hardly cared about all that. Instead he told me he had nothing more to teach me besides not getting a big head. I shook my head. "I feel inadequate. I need to train harder and find stronger opponents. My training has only started."
I took off the turtle shell and handed it to him, saying I was going to find something heavier to wear and train with to always keep raising the basics. We parted ways and I went to find my pod, carrying it to west city to meet Dr.Briefs. I met Bulma and Mrs.Briefs as well so it was fun at least. I asked Dr.Briefs to use my old pod to make me a gravity training room capsule with the antigravity generator.
I told them I was born on another planet and came here when I was a baby, but I don't remember where, only it wasn't earth. Dr.Briefs agreed provided he could keep all the tech inside and all rights to it. I narrowed my eyes and shrugged, agreeing. While he worked, Bulma poked my tail and asked about it.
I wrapped it around my waist and told her it was attached and what made me remember I wasn't human. I meditated and dodged her poking and questions over the next week until Dr.Briefs had a working chamber with up to three hundred times earth's gravity. I thanked him and told Bulma it was nice to meet her before calling down Kintoun. I flew away on my cloud at high speeds with my capsule in my senzu bean pouch.
I meditated at various points on the planet and when I felt someone watching, I got on my cloud and headed to Kami's lookout directly. Kintoun was able to take me up there and damned if it wasn't hard to breathe. I hopped off Kintoun and asked the Arabian Mr.Popo if he was the one peeking on me while I was training. He shook his head and I asked if I could train here on the lookout.
He shrugged and I worked out, getting used to the low oxygen levels. When I grew tired I slept, when I was hungry, I ate a senzu bean and when I asked for a spar, I got my ass kicked. It didn't stop me from asking for another so often Mr.Popo took a liking to me. Eventually, he taught me how to still my being, not just my body or mind, but my presence and ki.
When I could move like he could without wasted movement, Kami introduced himself. I asked if he wanted a senzu bean and shared one with him before he asked what I'd like in exchange. I thought for a minute and asked if he knew how to make weighted clothes and gear. He nodded and I told him to make my gi, arm bands and boots weighted.
He said it would cost me if I did and I took out my bag of senzu beans and single capsule. I told him what the capsule was and how I intended to use it along with the weighted clothes and senzu beans to get stronger. I told him I'd give him half my senzu beans for the weighted clothes and let him use my gravity training room if he wanted.
He said he was much to old for such things and instead wanted a promise that when I'm older I'd protect earth. I nodded. "Sure, but I don't want your job. Too much stress. Still, it sounds fun enough to protect earth."
He chuckled and said he'd train me then and train he did. Four years later I left Kami's lookout having learned to fly on my own without Kintoun. I'd learned bits of magic and wore weighted clothes. It was time I defended my title as world martial arts champion and I did so at the tournament, beating King Chappa with the same ease he beat the rest of his opponents.
I gave master Roshi half the money and told him I'd never forget where I started from. He smiled and I went home with him, spending the next three years under intense gravity training. When my body was fully grown at seventeen, I knew I'd age slower now. Still, I had reached the peak of the three hundred times gravity a year before so I went to west city and had it upgraded to a thousand times earth's gravity at it's peak.
Now I was pushing five hundred times earth's gravity when Roshi knocked on my door saying Turtle returned finally and he was heading out. I turned off the gravity chamber and ate a senzu bean before cleaning myself and putting away the gravity chamber. I went with him, flying on Kintoun while Turtle carried him.
When we arrived at a beach, a boy I recognized and Bulma were there. I was in front of her immediately. "Hello gorgeous, where have you been all my life."
She blushed and Goku said. "You're really tall mister."
I grunted. "Seven foot isn't that tall kid. Besides, I just hit a growth spurt this year. I was nearly your size then."
I poked his forehead with my tail and Bulma saw it, asking. "Ren? Is that really you?"
I opened my eyes wide. "Bulma? What are you doing so far from West city?"
She told me about the dragon balls and the wish she could make on them. I shrugged when she showed me her two and Goku's one. I showed her the three on my necklace, surprised she'd gotten to Pilaf's before him. She was happy to see them and I shrugged, telling Goku he could have my Kintoun since he helped Turtle and telling Bulma she could borrow my dragon balls for whatever it is she wanted them for.
She blushed while Goku hopped on my old cloud. Master Roshi said his part was done and I coughed saying he still owed Goku since Turtle was his friend as well. He nodded and I suggested to him to promise to train Goku like he did me. He agreed slowly before offering to train Goku in martial arts when he was ready.
Goku happily agreed and I went with them while Roshi and Turtle went to see the Ox king to let him know old man Gohan was dead. I'd suggested it since they were his students together and he deserved to know. Goku asked where I got my tail from and I told him I was born with it and came to earth from space.
I pointed up and told him he did as well and the reason he was so comfortable crawling all over me was because I'm his older brother. Bulma found that interesting while I flew and carried her next to Goku. She asked. "How old are you?"
I pointed to me. "I'm seventeen. This little monkey is twelve going on thirteen. I was born five years before him and no, I just know from his smell and our similar looks that we're brothers. I look a lot like our father I'm sure. I have this vague memory of him and a female I'm assuming is my mother, sending me off."
Bulma smelled Goku and I chuckled. "It's deeper than humans can smell. It's a scent that smells of…family I guess you could call it."
Goku was happy to hear he had family and I regained them of tales of my adventures as well as the fact that I was a two time world martial arts champion now and in a year or so I'd be a three time champion. We reached the village Oolong was terrorizing and Goku dressed as a female before dealing with the piglet. I took them to a valley and asked Bulma what she wanted from the dragon.
She blushed and said a boyfriend. I kissed her and she blushed, saying she didn't want a wish. I chuckled and asked if I could make a wish. She agreed so I summoned the eternal dragon, asking it for a book on all forms of ki moves with detailed instructions for training them. A big ass book slammed down and the dragon parted ways.
Bulma asked what ki was and I told her it was an energy that could be harnessed and utilized by those that train their bodies and minds. I made a ki ball and blasted a rock, telling her it could be weaponized and used in fights by experts or trained into moves and transformations that give temporary boosts to the user. Goku asked why I didn't ask for food so I tossed him a bag of senzu beans.
I told him to eat one at a time every seven days or when he was injured for instant healing. Bulma found it fascinating and I shrugged, telling Goku where Kame island was and to take Oolong since he and Roshi would get along. I took Bulma to west city after she gave Goku the dragon radar. There we dated and I moved in with her over the next year.
I split my time between training and being with her. While she was in the lab studying and building things, I was in the gravity room and after three months, we lost our virginity to each other. From then on every night we went at it with increased vigor. We went to the twenty-first world martial arts tournament together.
In the path of my training I'd hit a snag. After the gravity chamber reached six hundred times gravity, my body collapsed and for whatever reason I couldn't get passed it. Every time I tried it was like I was missing something. For the tournament I just shoved my opponents out of the arena.
When it reached Krillan and myself, I gave him a full sparring match that showed off his full strength and training before I knocked him unconscious. Next was my match with Goku and I did the same. When he went great ape form, I pulled off his tail and waited for him to recover. I had to actively not look at the moon and when he got up, I let him dress before beating him down unconscious.
I was now a three time reigning world martial arts champion and that brought fame I guess. More money for sure though. Like before I gave Roshi half and pocketed the rest for a ring. Bulma and I headed back to west city and I bought a ring, asking her to marry me. She agreed and we married with her parents in attendance.
Goku had beaten Yamcha at the tournament and Roshi had invited him to train at Kame house. Four years passed in a blur as I finally figured it out and triggered an emotional response of pain and rage a month after the wedding. I became a super Saiyan, triggering an explosive growth of S-cells in my body. I spent those four years not only mastering super Saiyan, but triggering super Saiyan 2 and mastering the various slow and weaker forms of it.
Bulma had gotten pregnant and gave me a daughter I named Gine. I was there through every step, even changing diapers. Hell, I'd offered to get a job and Bulma said no. She said she liked having me around when we were both free besides, she was rich or we were as she reminded me so often.
She held our light blue haired daughter while we waited for Goku and the others to arrive. As it turns out, Goku still ran into Chichi and the ox king when he went looking for Roshi so he'd promised to marry Chichi in the end after all. Krill am and Yamcha arrived first after Roshi himself who ogled Bulma's breasts and ass. Krillan said things were going to be different now.
I chuckled. "Even if I believed that for a second you could beat Goku, you'd never beat me kid. The fact that you can't see the gaping chasm between us, just shows how ill prepared you are to face me seriously."
I turned to Yamcha who laughed. "It's even further for you."
He stopped laughing and complained. I shrugged and Goku ran up in a tiger fur shirt that covered him mostly. I chuckled and made a set of gi appear for each of them. They went and changed before signing up.
Goku asked how I'd gotten here first and I told him I teleported with Bulma and his niece. He poked the baby girl and she smacked him with her tail. I chuckled and grabbed her, introducing Goku to baby Gine. He called her squishy and I chuckled. "She's a baby, Goku, of course she's squishy."
I told him he definitely isn't holding her, that's for sure. Bulma took her back and cooed at her until it was time to part ways. I gave her a deep kiss and told her it was for luck. I hummed while she smiled and went with Roshi and Launch to the stands.
This time I let the competitors show off before I knocked them out, studying their martial arts. When they each showed all they could do, I was in the main tournament for sure. Goku, Yamcha, Krillan, Tien and Chiaotzu made it and one other contestant. I beat the weakling before I faced Chiaotzu and he tried his telekinesis crap on me.
I made him into a human volleyball and when I was through with him, he was out of the ring, hurt, but ultimately fine. I helped him up and apologized, saying I dislike cheaters and using telekinesis or telepathy to cheat is a big hang up for me. Still, I wished him well and have him a senzu bean telling him it would heal him. He said it wasn't a problem and in my next match I faced Tien.
I faced him fairly and beat him down after forcing him to use all his techniques. His master wasn't pleased, but I told him the Kame house wouldn't treat him like that and would help him become a martial artist instead of a killer. I told him Goku was my little brother and if he tried to assassinate him, I'd stop him so he could let go of his hatred or live with disappointment.
Goku beat Krillan and since Tien beat Yamcha, I faced Goku in the finals like last time. We went faster than before because he'd been to Korrin's tower for training. I was barely faster than his full speed because I'd altered my weighted clothes with magic. In the end he too was forced to fight at full capacity and show everything before I beat him.
When he was done, he asked how I got so strong. I told him my clothes were weighted and I spent the last eleven years training in an increased gravity chamber. Once it was announced that I was the winner, I tossed him a capsule case. "Those are senzu drinks that do similar things like the beans. The last capsule that's different is the gravity training room. It's no longer useful to me. Bulma made a permanent one at capsule corp and we wanted to give you a gift since I'm not really a good brother."
He thanked me happily after eating a senzu bean and getting up easily. Capsule Corp was sponsoring the world martial arts tournament so it was all good. Goku got the runner up money and spent it on food while I gave half of the winner money to Roshi and spent the rest for a celebration at a buffet restaurant. Krillan didn't die thanks to me killing Tambourine and eating it as a snack once the tournament was over.
Goku had his dragon ball so after I dropped Bulma off with Gine, I went and found five of the dragon balls rather fast like. Goku had one and the last was in Yajirobi's hands. I told Goku who nearly killed Krillan and he went off on a hunt, ending up facing Piccolo who took Yajirobi and his dragon balls.
King Piccolo found me waiting near the wasteland with five dragon balls. He got serious when I told him. "Take them, they won't save you. Once you're at full power, I'll beat you down and let my brother finish you once you understand how truly weak you are."
He sneered and the balls floated to him while I sat and waited. He used them to return his eternal youth. When he went to destroy them, I stopped his attack and the balls scattered. I snorted. "Now, come at me with all you have or you'll be dead before you can blink."
He called me arrogant and I didn't care. An hour of the world's most brutal beating commenced and when it was over, he was clutching his missing stump. I stood over him without a scratch on me and told him. "Eternal youth isn't immortality and immortality isn't invincibility. Still, I'll give you props for surviving this long. Go, when my little brother finds you, it will be the end of you for good. If you attack anyone on this earth before then, I'll find you and make you beg for death."
He tsked and left, flying up to the ship to recover with the senzu bean I tossed him. I heard Kami in my head asking why I did that and I told him that Goku has his own path and I wouldn't weaken him or his chances to get stronger. I assured him Piccolo wouldn't get a chance to kill anyone else because I'd be watching and stop him if he tries.
Kami sighed and said. "So be it. I just hope you know what you're doing."
I smiled lightly. "Me too Kami, me too."
I teleported home and kept an eye on Piccolo, telling Goku where he was after he drank the sacred water. Goku killed him in a devastating fight that left him wounded. I appeared and made him drink the senzu drink before telling him about Kami's lookout and how to get there with his staff. I told him to take Krillan and Yamcha as well so they could get stronger.
He asked how strong I was and I smiled, ruffling his hair. "You'll know when you finish training at Kami's lookout. Now off you go, get stronger and perhaps at the next tournament you'll be ready to face me in a real fight. Oh, and here."
I gave him the book I'd gotten a long time ago and told him to keep it safe because it was extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. He agreed and ran off with it while I went home. For the next year I trained with fortune teller BaBa in magic as far as she could teach me. Two years after that my six year old daughter was learning to be more like her mother and tinkering with things.
She trained with me up to the point of becoming a super Saiyan, but after that she sort of had her own way of doing things. She did however come to watch me fight even when she herself refused to join the tournament. The tournament had gone from a four year span to a three year one so we were soon back.
On the bright side I'd mastered my great ape form and super Saiyan three so I was pushing the limits of what I could do as a Saiyan without further training. Bulma was happy though because it meant more time spent with her and Gine. Though the slight bump she sported made her happier. She was very much pregnant again and loving the dotting attention I give her.
Hell, she interrupts my training to scratch an itch almost every few hours. She's a very horny pregnant woman and she used me being always ready as an excuse to have her way with me. I could never say no to her and she knows it. I rubbed her stomach and held her while Gine sat on my shoulders and told me she sees someone.
