In a large, semicircular hall, illuminated by the glow of capsules containing children very similar to humans, the only difference being a tail that slightly sways behind each of them. In the center of the hall, there is an elevated circular platform with several incubators lit with different colored lights (pink, light blue, green, yellow). One stood out, towering above all the others, red in color, setting it apart from all the rest.
It is in this very place that a soul from outside this universe finally awakens.
After who knows how long, I finally feel something again here, warm, comfortable, relaxing. I don't even feel like opening my eyes, but I resist, and when I open them, I see everything through a blue filter, the color of the liquid that completely covers me. 'I'm inside a Saiyan incubation capsule,' I think.
I look at my new, small, and seemingly fragile body, with chubby and short arms, but I already feel considerable strength coursing through me, 'as expected of a Saiyan child.' I shift my attention away from myself for a moment and look beyond the glass. I see a set of other incubators, most of which I can see are empty, but a commotion is occurring in one capsule in particular, a green one.
Facing this capsule stood a tall and strong man with large, spiky hair, a prominent bald spot, and a goatee around his mouth. He wore luxurious clothing with gold and precious stones, along with a red cape. I recognize him as King Vegeta, a narcissistic, arrogant, and greedy man who, unlike his son, doesn't have the power to back up that personality. Around him are a woman and three men who appear to be scientists.
Apparently, they are discussing the child in the green capsule. I can barely hear anything because of the liquid in my ears and the distance, but I hear the king shout:
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, THE PRINCE'S LEVEL HAS ALREADY BROKEN ALL RECORDS."
Without hesitation, he snatched a scouter from his subordinate and measured the child's power level. Then... BOOM~
The subordinates tried to calm the king, claiming the scouter was faulty. Soon after, they exchanged the device, but I could barely hear anything more they were saying, just a sentence that made me smile, because I knew where I was in the timeline.
The sentence was, "he could even be the legendary Super Saiyan."
'Yes, so I'm from the same generation as Vegeta and Broly.' I have 5 years until the destruction of Planet Vegeta. I get excited imagining what changes in history I can make in this short time.
Lost in thought, I didn't notice the king looking at me and coming my way. "And this one here? What is he doing here?"
The Saiyan woman replies, "My lord, he is the son of Zadin, a high-class warrior who died recently. His son showed good potential, but nothing as high as the prince or Broly."
The king asks, "What is his fighting power level?"
The woman replies, "It is 753, my lord."
I thought, 'So I'm already stronger than everyone in classic Dragon Ball. I'm sure I'll quickly reach the level of someone like Raditz or Nappa after getting out of this capsule.'
The king continued to look at me, and I stared back at him without looking away. I could see that he got a little irritated, but didn't pursue it. Then, I heard the familiar sound of the royal family as he left.
tch~
I could almost hear him cursing me in his thoughts as he walked away.
Soon after he left, a wave of sleepiness came over me. So, like all the other little Saiyans here in this room, I fell asleep.
======================================================
I stayed in this cycle of sleeping for days and waking up for a few hours for a few weeks. In those few hours that I was awake, I tried to feel my ki and tried to move it within me, small things, like putting a little in my hand, in my eyes, and in other parts of my body, but without firing blasts, obviously. Feeling my ki wasn't that difficult as a Saiyan, but moving it with the sleep that this machine's liquid induced in me, I couldn't focus very well on manipulating my ki inside my body.
It's like taking a test after staying up all night playing video games. You can't concentrate on anything.
But even so, I tried, and it was bearing fruit, because right now I was managing to strengthen my right arm with my ki.
shuuu~~
Disturbing my focus, and almost making me lose control, I heard the loud sound of some Saiyans opening Broly's capsule. So, the king finally decided to send him to Vampa. Relax, Broly, in the future I will go there to rescue you.'
'Who wouldn't want an unbreakable toy? No matter how much you beat it up, it always comes back. A game that always updates itself and never becomes obsolete. That's why Broly is perfect, that's why I want him as an intelligent and adaptable punching bag.'
I'll have to figure out some way to get to the planets I want, like Vampa or Namek, to use the Dragon Balls, like anyone who has watched Dragon Ball. I already have some wishes in mind, but nothing like immortality. I'm already a Viltrumite, it will take millennia for me to die of old age, maybe with the help of ki, thousands of years. So, there's no reason for me to make that wish.
After thinking again, sleep takes me, and I am thrown back into the realm of dreams, knowing that it won't be long before I finally get out of here.
