DBZ: Fanalis - Chapter 1 (Patreon)

Dying was supposed to be the final stop, the ultimate destination, but here I was staring out at the moon that was shining brightly in the sky outside the cave I found myself in, laying on the ground, wondering how I got here in the firs place, I lamented at the thought of my final moments, dying in a stupid war, fighting for a stupid goverment that decided to kill me because I knew too much.

I sighed, telling myself that letting my mind be cloud over with such morose thoughts was no way to live. First I had to find out where I was, and how I got here. As I stood from the ground I noticed I wasn't my normal six foot tall… I was very small, ‘Well, this is new,’ I thought

My body was small, and so was everything in proportion, by just looking at my hands I knew I was but a kid, was this the afterlife?...I scoffed at the thought as soon as it crossed my mind, I had killed more than enough people to know I probably belong in hell. While it’s true I did all that for my country, I doubted the gods would give a damn about it.

“Hrggg,” A sound or to be specific a groan behind me snapped me out of my long reverie, she had crimson red colored hair, and was sporting a white short rag that looked very old and used, on her legs I could notice she had some chains attached to them, clear sings of slavery, and by the looks of her frame I would guess she was eight or nine years old.

“Hn,” I studied the girl, and the more I saw her the more sure I was, she was definitely a slave, whips marks on her back, bleeding feet, that and she was way too skinny for her age.

If I somehow reincarnated, and I was in the same place this girl was, it probably meant the slavers were close, and with this body I had no chance of fighting, the only thing that had kept me from casting the little girl aside was the fact that I had a heart too big for my own good. That and a weird feeling inside me that demanded me to help her, it was almost primal the thing I was feeling.

“Well, let’s see,” I sighed, if I had to escape from wherever we were with her I would have to carry her, she was in no condition to walk or run, what really surprised me was, that… even though I expected her to weigh very little… I felt nothing when she was on my arms, it was as if I was carrying air, “This doesn't seem right,”

Deciding to question whatever was happening later, I ran out of the cave, just to find yet another surprise, I didn't run… no… I blasted myself out of the cave, shattering the ground under my bare feet, the impulse was so strong that I almost fell to the ground immediately after, “Why am I this strong?” I muttered in disbelief, still holding the girl tightly in my arms, I knew for a fact no human being could achieve what my little body did, and even if we did… there was no way a child could do it, “Questions for later, focus on the mission,” I said to myself, as I started to… walk really fast to avoid the same incident from happening again, this time the result was way better... I was by all human standards running right now, but for me it felt like walking fast, whatever body I was inhabiting right now was not human in any way, I knew the limits of a human physique, and my body was beyond that now, I could feel it.

It took me a few seconds to realize I was in some kind of desert, a very big one with massive rock formations, the layout of the area was more than enough to tell me I had no idea where I was, or how I got here, “I wonder where---” It was very dark, and yet I could sense something was near, danger my body screamed I had to be careful as my eyes opened wide I scanned the desert, as I gently put the little girl on the ground.

This place was unfamiliar, and for what my eyes could see, it was desolated, but a strange scent drew my attention onward, deeper into the shadows, at this point I wasn't even questioning the fact that I felt like a bloodhound.

Suddenly a flash of black raced past me, as I stopped still, whatever it was… it was faster than I was, instinct made me drop into a low crouch protecting the unconscious girl, ‘I suppose if I am a supernatural child… there are bound to be supernatural creatures around too,’

Even though something inside me, told me I was outmatched, I decided to go out fighting. I held up my breath, trying to find a way to fight back. Excitement coursing through me somehow, making my heart pound, I was both afraid and excited, all of my senses strained ahead as I prowled forward, it felt right somehow. Then I detected another noise, the creature had moved. It came from behind, but sounded muted and distant, “I feel like a cat…”

Without any further wait, the creature hit me like an explosion and I was thrown sideways into a massive boulder that cracked on my impact, it hurt, though less than I expected, “Hrgg…” The creature was standing above the little girl, and something inside of me snapped, I knew instinctively how dangerous this creature was, I knew it was stronger than me, by a long margin, my body knew, but my body screamed I had to fight for my kin, without even giving a second I blasted towards my attacker, bringing down a kick on him that the creature blocked.

“Quite impressive,” The creature complimented, “Kami was right,” before I could even deliver a second kick, I was knocked out by the dark figure, I had failed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke to quiet and warmth. Groaning, I blink away the lingering haze of sleep and groggily sit up, stretching, the girl!? Turning around I found that she was sleeping on a bed close to mine. The window in the room is open, revealing a sunny day.

Did the thing that beat me out cold brought me here? If so why?

[Kami POV - Timeskip ]

I felt something big coming, something powerful, something that needed nourishment and care, two kids with the biggest potential earth has ever seen, at first the kids were somewhat reluctant to trust me, especially the boy who seemed to have recognize me somehow, after letting the kids warm of to me, I confirmed the truth of the matter, they were incredibly strong, no wonder the kid managed to break Mr. Popo arm. For the first time in years, I actually had to try in a fight against an opponent. Witnessing such strength coming from such small, and untrained childs filled me with great visions of what these two could become with the proper training and upbringing, reason why I wanted to train them, so that they could kill my other half.

In time, as we lived and trained together, I had come to truly love these two kids, and I couldn't help but wonder was this was how humans felt when they had children, if so, it was truly a magnificent feeling, things like little Morgiana referring to me as 'Green Grandpa', was fact that never failed to warm my soul, Masrur on the other hand just referred to me as Kami, it wasn't as cute as little Morgiana, but it would do, and so we trained every day and it didn't take long for me to notice that they learned fast, and while I was still far stronger than them I knew for a fact that gap would no doubt be overcome in short, and being honest I was already at a loss when it came to coming up with new and effective training methods for my young protegees.

There were still barely seven years old, they would have time, and yet, they were already among the strongest earthlings to have ever lived.

“What do we have to do, today?” Morgiana inquired, she was a very quiet girl, who rarely speaked.

“Today we meditate,” I smiled at her, these two had no problems in the physical part of their training, exceeding my expectations every single time, but when it came to control their absurdly high ki, it was hard for them, specially for Masrur, whose emotions were linked to his energy, being the sole reason why he managed to break Mr. Popo arm that time he was trying to protect Morgiana, his hidden potential was frightening.

“Very well,” Masrur nodded as he entered the meditation room, whenever Morgiana was, Masrur would be close behind, that applied both ways, Morgiana would follow him too, they acted at times as animals with a pack mentality, I knew for a fact they were not related, but were of the same species or clan, the red hair and eyes were a dead giveaway.

[Masrur POV]

I was a Fanalis now, which explained the explosive power I had now, somehow I had reincarnated and I was now a Fanalis… one would think that was the cherry on the top… but no… that was just the beginning, because I was in the world of dragon ball, where anyone pass the freaking saiyan saga was a planet buster, lovely. And while I loved the series… I was not going to let my second life hang into the hands of an idiot. Goku was lovable only on TV.

So here I was training with Kami, the god who kidnapped us nine months ago… but in return offered us food, shelter and training, I had yet to win against him, but I knew I was coming close to defeat him.

“Let’s fight,” Morgiana asked with a calm and eager tone, she alone was another enigma, why was she here, I could maybe understand my situation, but hers? I had no idea why she would be displaced here.

“Sure,” I nodded, getting into a position.

“I won’t lose this time,” Morgiana smiled.
