Chereads / Dragon Ball Z: Cheat to the Top / Chapter 2 - Saiyan Saga II

Chapter 2 - Saiyan Saga II

Watching the scene in front of me, a transformed Gohan and Piccolo trying very hard to stop its rampaging, I closed my eyes before taking a deep breath, feeling the energy inside me before feeling some of the energy go to my feet as I slowly started to levitate before gradually getting higher and higher

'Bit of instinct flying, nice perk' I went forward, quickly flying towards Piccolo who was too focused on Gohan to sense the new Ki signature near him, he turned to see me flying towards him, his eyes landed on my flowing tail, which I hadn't wrapped around my waist, as his eyes then widened before I slowly stopped right in front of him

Before he could speak I immediately stopped him so he would hear me out first

"Hi, yes I'm a Saiyan, name's Zero by the way. Yeah I know you don't have the best memories with Saiyan's but bigger issue here, also I don't care to try and rule or sell the planet, I'd rather it be alive since I'm here." Hearing my words, Piccolo kept his guard up but I could see him visually relax a bit, most likely from sensing my intentions, which I had no trouble leaving wide open for him to sense, and his own understanding that a giant ape was more of a threat then me

"Fine, I'll trust you for now. So this kid have a weakness?"

"Yeah, he's untrained so slice off the tail or get rid of the full moon, though the moon is decently important so stick to cutting off the tail" Nodding at my words, I quickly fired a ki blast at the ape's face as it hit near the eye, forcing him to cover his eye and roar out in pain

Piccolo and I quickly circled the ape as I raised my palm before directing ki into it, forming a very rudimentary Ki blade, one that started to become very draining very quickly 'Thought this would be a bit easier!' Gritting my teeth at the feeling of my ki quickly draining, I slashed at the tail as Piccolo had shot another blast at the ape which distracted him, my slice came down as the ape once again roared in agony, before it started wobbling a bit and then start to shrink, before showing the form of a small child with ripped clothes, surrounding his naked sleeping form

Floating down, I landed as Piccolo landed just a bit away from me, he placed two fingers on his forehead before charging some of his energy, firing it at Gohan he was then dressed in a gi reminiscent of Goku's just with Piccolo's symbol, and a sword, as I paid close attention to the energy usage until realizing it was a different from ki

'Man, thought clothes beam was just molding ki into the shape of clothes, nope its formed from the bit of magic he has as a Namekian.'

Piccolo then turned to me as he finally questioned just why I'm here

"Look we already have enough things to worry about with those two Saiyans that are coming in a year. We don't need another one to deal with" His guard was subtle, but raised, though I could feel he was still weaker than me even though I was slightly tired. If I had to give a example of my strength then I'd say I am only a bit stronger than Raditz, maybe by 200, power level wise, which puts me up at 1700, though I have no scouter for a numerical value.

In the time between Goku's death and right now Piccolo has not had much time to train as he has been watching over Gohan most of the time, even with the badly formed ki blade that drained my Ki, I'm still at least 3 times stronger than Piccolo right now, which I now realized, I had been unconsciously suppressing my ki all this time. I started to let it leak a bit as Piccolo then realized that he could try, but I would ultimately win in the end.

"Look its like I said before, I may be a Saiyan but I have no care for selling or dominating a planet. As for me being here, kinda just am."

"So you don'y know how you got here?" He asked with a hint of a mocking smile slowly starting to form on his face

"Oh I never said that, I could have been here for a while, just like the father of that kid, Maybe I just got here. You never know do you?" My intentions had been kept in check after I let him sense I wasn't lying, and sure I understood getting conformation but right now he knows that bigger threats are coming and Earth could use more powerful protectors. After my statement I quickly appeared behind him, his eyes only able to see my afterimage but his senses feeling me behind him, he quickly swung his right arm around to punch the back of my head but I caught it with my back turned to him as I then turned slightly before throwing his fist back, causing him to stumble a bit back as I held my hands up a bit

"Hey I'm not here for a fight, but I am here to help. I got an offer for you Namekian, we train together. You and I both know that there's nobody on Earth right now that has a decent enough power level to be good training for us. Right now I'm the strongest here, at least until you catch up or the kid learns quick. I train with you, maybe we teach each other a few things, and we both get stronger, you can even bring the kid into it, once he learns how to use his Ki at least."

Piccolo started to think about my offer before accepting, I saw the confusion in his eyes when I called him a Namekian but he seemed to throw that thought away for a later date. The acceptance was a bit quick sure but it's smart. While I am a bit of a variable that never showed up before, he knows that he could get stronger training with and against me. He sensed my intentions when I let him and I was being truthful the entire time, and after my offer, I saw his face shift to a bit of annoyance before he accepted. Now nothing I said should have annoyed him so there was only one explanation I could think of. Kami told him something.

By my guess the most likely thing would've been telling him I was trustworthy and was being honest, or maybe he told him to accept for now to test my character, Kami is hopefully, the only one that would have noticed that I just arrived, I say that in hopes that no Time Patrol, Xenoverse bullshit goes on, since dealing with demons and such is not something I would want to do later on.

Piccolo then grabbed Gohan and flew as I then followed, dropping him off with the sword in Gohan's sleeping hands as we then flew up a bit before distancing ourselves from each other, he threw off his turban and cape before getting into his 'Demon Clan Style' as I took the 'Turtle Style' pose Goku always had, left fist cocked back by my side, as my right hand came forward before I clenched my last two fingers before pushing together my middle and index finger and curling them as my thumb pointed just under them. Piccolo's eyebrows rose a bit at my style before scoffing as we then flew towards each other. The quiet night filled with the sounds of shockwaves as dust flew right from under we were to the surrounding area

And like that, we trained for the next 6 months. Time skip baby.
