Chapter 12: Going Home

Soren let out a sigh before disappearing, and he soon reappeared with a small pouch, and inside the pouch were 3 small green beans, and taking one of the beans from the pouch, Soren placed it into Raditz's mouth and helped him chew it. Soon, Raditz's injuries were completely gone, and he shot up off the couch while looking around in horror, and once he saw Soren, he tried to run while screaming for his life, but was stopped by Gine.

[Please!... I'm sorry! I truly am sorry!... Please don't hit me anymore!]: raditz

Raditz cried out, but when he felt his mother embracing him into a hug, he calmed down a bit, and then they began talking, while Raditz began questioning Soren about the Dragon Balls, and asked it he used them to heal him, but Soren shook his head and told Raditz about the Senzu Beans while hoping Vegeta and Nappa heard everything, and they could start heading towards Earth. Soren then passed the time by going outside to work on creating his own Zanpakuto, as he tried to 4 years ago, but no matter how hard he tried, the Zanpakuto wouldn't react, and when Soren asked Ava, she responded that Soren needed to work on using his Soul to power the Zanpakuto, but Sorne had no idea how to, so he asked if he could buy a book that could teach him, and it was expensive, but Soren needed it so he bought it for 20,000 System Points. What Soren didn't know was that the reason it was so expensive, was because it had a hint of the laws of the soul, and once the user comprehends the entire book, they will be able to use the laws of the soul.

'After 4 years I will finally be able to completely comprehend this book, and then I'll be able to create my Zanpakuto': soren

Soren then began reading the book, and after a few hours, Soren got the notification he had been waiting for, as well as an unexpected notification.

<{You have comprehended the Book of Souls, and now know how to use and empower souls… You have also understood a bit of the Soul Law}>

'What!... So I can now use the Law of Soul?... Does that mean I can create people?': soren

<{No… To create people, you need to combine the Laws of Soul, Life, and Death… While to create Gods, you need to combine the Laws of Soul, Life, Eternity, and a specific law that you want the God to specialize in}>

'Wow… So I can create even Gods if I become more powerful': soren

Soren then took out the Zanpakuto from his inventory, and began focusing on the wisp of life inside of the blade, and before Soren even knew it, the blade was covered in a purple and white flame that began to burn as hot as the sun, but didn't affect any of the surrounding, almost as if it was focusing on Soren alone, like it was burning itself into his soul. Soren then felt that the blade was calling for him to reach into the pit of purple fire, and the closer his hand got to the flame, the faster and louder his heart began to beat, before Soren's entire being was engulfed in the purple and white flames. Soren continued to search around for the thing that was calling out to him, but he couldn't seem to find it, but seeing that his heart began to beat faster when he was closer to the Zanpaktuo, he closed his eyes, and let the sound of his heartbeat lead the way, and soon, Soren touched a burning hot piece of metal that was flowing orange, and it was begging to be taken out of the fire. Soren quickly ran from the pit of purple and white fire with the burning hot Zanpakuto in hand, and soon he was out of the flames with the molten blade in his hand, and no clothes on, due to the fire burning them all to ashes. Soren then noticed the golden orange radiance that the blade was giving off as it began to cool down and harden in the air, but Soren didn't want a normal Zanpakuto, and instead he began bathing the blade in his Profound Energy that began to shake thievery Universe to its core.

[What the hell is happening!?... System?]: ???

[Oh my… I hope lord Beerus doesn't wake from this]: whis

[Hmm… It seems that our little anomaly has started to mess with the balance of the Universe… How will this play out]: grand priest

Many beings of power had felt Soren's presence, but because it wasn't Ki related, nobody could tell exactly how powerful it was, nor who it was coming from, except a few select people. Soren's energy had quenched the blade, and as he looked at it, Soren could feel his Profound Energy coursing through it's long black blade, while it's handle had a black lacing with red diamonds, while the hand guard was round with an image of a dragon etched into the metal. (A/N: Similar to Ichigo's Bankai, but doesn't have a swastika for a hand guard, ad this was just it's sealed form)

'So this is my Zanpakuto… It's quite similar to Ichigo's Bankai release, but I can feel this is just the first stage of my Zanpakuto': soren

As Soren held his Zanpakuto, he forgot that he was standing naked in the open, and when Gine, Raditz, Kouki, and Chi-chi came out of the house to see what was going on, they all witnessed Soren staring at a sword in the nude. Chi-chi quickly went to cover her eyes, while Gine covered both Kouki and Raditz's eyes, while she herself began licking her lips in anticipation for their night time activities.

[Soren!... Why are you naked?]: gine

When Soren heard Gine's words, he quickly noticed that he was indeed naked, and began covering himself while running inside the house to get some clothes after seeing Chi-chi, Raditz, and Kouki standing there with Gine.

'Well that was a bit embarrassing… I wonder how Chi-chi's going to yell at me for exposing myself to her': soren

After Soren got dressed and everyone went back to what they were doing, Soren decided to look into talking with his Zanpakuto, and finding out it's capabilities. Soren then went into his very own mindscape and saw what appeared to be the entire Universe at his feet, while he appeared to be gigantic, and not too far away from Soren, there stood another Soren with the exact same appearance, but this Soren held a black sword in his right hand.

[So you are my Zanpakuto's spirit?... That must mean that you have the exact same thoughts as I do, meaning that fighting you would be the same as fighting myself, which means it would be an endless battle… Tell me, do you have a mind of your own?]: soren

The Zanpakuto spirit with Soren's appearance had stayed silent for a minute, but soon it spoke in the exact same voice as Soren's.

[I indeed have a mind of my own, but as you said, I am you, just like you are me… And even if I have a mind of my own, I am still just you, but I am a caged version of you… But unlike you, I have seen the bottomless power you wished for, and I know it limits, but it seems you have yet to find that out, so I don't really like you that much… You're stupid, you take your time to check your limits, and when you try, you only explore a tiny fraction of those limits… When I was born, I shook this whole Universe, and when I say Universe, I don't mean Universe 7, I mean this entire world… All the gods noticed my existence, but yet you haven't made a move to see exactly where you stand… Now I ask you, why is that?]: zanpakuto soren - z. soren

When Soren heard this question, he was confused, as how could what was essentially himself have such a bad impression of him, almost as if deciding if this was who he really wanted to give his power to.

[What do you mean?... I know where I stand, but just want to take things slowly and experience the fun qualities these words have to offer… That was the whole reason for my wishes]: soren

[Wrong!... You stand a lot higher than you think… Even if you aren't on the level of Zeno, you are still higher than the Gods of Destruction… Just the amount of Energy you used to give birth to me, you had the Gods of destruction sweating… But you choose to not test out your full capabilities, and are only slowly wasting away that potential… You do remember what Ava told you, right?... You have less than 10 thousand years to get stronger before those Gods can come in and kill you, but what are you doing… Starting a family? Training the Main characters of your favorite shows?... What about yourself? How are you going to get stronger if you continue to stay here? Because it won't be long before Zeno is no longer your match, and those Gods would still be able to Kill you with a slap… Go into a Cultivation world where there are no limits to what Cultivation can reach, and then shoot through the roof, and go past what nobody has gone past before… That is my core purpose when I was created]: z. soren

Soren was shocked to hear himself beating down on him with words, but deep inside he knew that they were words that he needed to hear, and then he decided, after going back home to visit his parents, Soren was going to go into some Cultivation worlds and conquer them.

[Fine, I'll stop playing around and start putting in work… So tell me, what is your name so that I can call upon you in the future?]: soren

[Haha… You want my name?... Do you think you are even worthy of it?... Fine, let's see if you can even hear my name… My name is #####... Did you hear it?]: z. soren

[No, I didn't]: soren

[Ha… I thought so… Come back when you can hear my name, but until then work hard and conquer]: z. soren

Soren then watched as his Soul self had disappeared into a blinding light leaving Soren to float in the vast space that depicted the Universe, and after registering everything that he had been told, Soren exited his mind scape and opened his eyes to see everyone still having a conversation. Soren decided that he was going to go outside and practice wielding his Zanpakuto, while drilling the Heavenly Void Emperors Profound Sword Technique. Soon, Goku came back with Gohan in his arms, and when he heard about Raditz, he got excited because he never had a brother besides from Krillin, and when Raditz came out with the knowledge that Vegeta and Nappa were coming to Earth, Goku was a little mad, but he couldn't blame Raditz, and like that, the Z Fighters began their year of training, while Soren continued drilling his Sword technique, as he wanted to be a master in hopes of gaining the Laws of Sword Intent. During the year-long training session, Soren told Goku about King Kai's planet, and how training there could be good for him, so Goku accepted and Soren teleported him over to King Kai's planet, while Goku began to feel the gravity of King Kai's planet.

[This is the place you will be training on… I'll come pick you up in a year, good luck Goku]: soren

Soren then opened a portal and went back to Earth and after a year, Soren sensed the entrance of Nappa and Vegeta, and then with a single step, Soren arrived on King Kai's planet just in time to see Goku master the Spirit Bomb.

[It seems like your training is going well… Are you ready? The Saiyan's have arrived]: soren

When Goku saw Soren, he was happy to see him, while King Kai was confused as to who he was, or how he got here, but he could tell that Soren was powerful with just one look.

[Soren, you're here!... Yeah, I'm ready! Let's go!]: goku

Soren then took Goku with him and appeared back on Earth just in time to see the Z fighters begin fighting with Nappa. Soren then let Goku go handle it as it was his job, while he stayed back and watched from afar, and soon, Nappa was killed, but it wasn't by Vegeta, but it was by Kouki.

'Damn, looks like Goku isn't even needed… I hope Kouki doesn't kill Vegeta before Goku gets there': soren

Soon the battle was over with Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu dying, and Vegeta being able to escape somehow, while there was no need for Goku to be hospitalized, and soon the remaining Z Fighters all went back to their homes, while Soren began talking to Gine about leaving again.

[Gine… I plan on leaving again, and I was wondering if you would like to come with me this time]: soren

When Gine heard Soren, she was confused as to why Soren wanted to leave, but he soon began to explain.

[Don't worry, this isn't a training trip… I'm just going home to meet my parents… Would you like to go and meet them?]: soren

Gine thought about it for a moment, but soon she agreed and Soren began explaining about how nobody on his home planet knows how to use Ki, nor do they have people with tails walking around, so before they left, Soren had to set some ground rules.

[First, there will be no use of Ki, and second, you will need to have your tail wrapped around you at all times, or we need to cut them off]: soren

When Gine heard talk about mutilating her and Kouki's tail, she quickly tried to protect it while giving Soren a glare.

[So I guess you are going to hide your tail… Okay, everyone ready to leave?]: soren

Soren spoke while grabbing both Gine and Kouki and held them close to him before he had Ava teleport them out of the Dragonball Universe, and back to the Universal Reality realm, where Soren appeared in the same deserted area he teleported away from. After appearing, both Gine and Kouki began sending out their senses, and after sensing nothing, Kouki spoke.

[Dad… I don't sense anything… What's wrong with this planet?]: kouki

[This is the Mortal world son… Here we don't rely on things like Ki to progress… Here we use our imaginations to will things into reality, but no matter how hard we try, we can only visit those places in our dreams]: soren

[Is that how you met and saved mom?]: kouki

[No… I was given a gift by a God who created my world, and that power lets me travel to those dream worlds physically, and that's how I was able to save your mother… Come, let's go visit your Grandma, and Grandpa… I just don't know how I'm going to be able to explain this]: soren

Soren then pulled out his car from his inventory, and surprised both Gine and Kouki, but thinking about what he had just said, they didn't put too much thought into it. Soon, they all got in and Soren began driving back into the city where his parents' house was, and soon he pulled into the driveway, and got out the car, while Gine and Kouki also got out.

[Wow!... Dad, your parents' house is big!]: kouki

Soren was looking at the mansion-like house, but knew that it was only fancy due to his great grandfather buying the land back in the day, and over the next couple of generations, they built this home. Soren then led Gine and Kouki up to the house, and then opened the door, and let the two of them inside, and once they got inside, Soren called out for his parents as he shouted.

[Mom, Dad… I'm home!]: soren
