Clashing with the Namekian, Zero kneed him in the gut, causing saliva to spit out of his mouth as the air in his lungs all came out at once. Zero then brought his hands up and cupped them together before removing his knee in Piccolo's gut and slamming his hands down like a sledgehammer, as Piccolo fell Zero then turned as his hand shot out and multiple purple beams came out as one hit Piccolo right in the gut, causing him to fall quicker as the rest destroyed the already barren landscape around them, watching this all was a young boy, flying as he had multiple yellow balls surrounding him as they spun, sweat evident on his face with distracted eyes before the balls dissipated and Piccolo came out of the crater in the ground, purple blood on his face as he held his stomach with one of his arms
"Alright that's enough for now Namekian, Gohan! You're concentration improved, good job, you're strength has risen again" Gohan bushed a bit at my praise before smiling and thanking me, while I floated down and landed next to Piccolo
"You've gotten stronger you know, just a month ago you couldn't even land 5 hits on me consecutively"
"Still not as strong as you, damn Saiyan biology lets you keep growing, I barely managed to make you bleed this time" Piccolo said, eyeing the bit of blood on the edge of my mouth, before I wiped it off
"Yeah well what do can you expect? I'm just meant to get stronger" That wasn't a lie, in this time I've told Piccolo what I knew of his race and that of the Saiyans so he knows of dragon ball creation more than he may have before, and my way of abusing zenkai's if I truly wished to
"Well you should keep training the kid, I'm gonna head to the lookout"
"Yeah? What could possibly be there that could help you, those humans aren't exactly at our strength" In these 6 months I only met the other Z-fighters like twice, we're on decent terms, though the first meeting wasn't so great until Kami stepped in, understandable though since Raditz was basically an indicator that they were all pitifully weak
I did train with them slightly when I met them and even pointed out using weighted clothing but they supposedly haven't been able to handle it as much as I have so they've stopped using them, at least that's what Piccolo told me. Six months, I was at a power level of 1700, and I've grown, a lot since then, no numerical value but I did get acquainted with Bulma and told her a bit about the scouter she got, so I'd head there real quick to check my level afterwards
Waving, I flew and quickly rocketed off towards the lookout, I've been very cautious since getting here since I did not want one of Gero's drones getting my DNA, Cell was strong already, adding a Saiyan who's gonna cheat his way to strength after this whole Saiyan ordeal would be a big problem. I've also taken the time to make a bunch of Ki moves that I shamelessly stole from others, Turles' Sudden Storm being one of them. Yes that's its actual name that he chose, another being Frieza's death beam which wasn't hard, its just compressing Ki to achieve a fast and small finger blast that pierces
Also copied Broly's mouth blast, that shit is called Gigantic Breath... don't ask I seriously don't know. The hardest one I've tried making right now would be the x10 Kamehameha, I can do the regular one no problem, I can even make it curve but the x10 is hard to control. Its not actually using Kaioken, Goku only used it in SSJ4 which gave him much greater and preciser control over Ki. It could be charged that way thanks to the 10 times multiplier from the great ape part of SSj4 since great ape grants a 10x boost in strength, but I also achieved the same things at least practically by charging it longer and pushing more Ki into it, though it gets harder to control right now and is very unstable, so its not worth using as it would backfire more times then it worked
Similar to Broly's Omega Blaster, he condenses so much Ki into that small blast before it expands, yes he can control the size of it but what makes it so powerful is because his Ki is so volatile, Z Broly at least since I don't remember the better written Broly using the move. Good example, Z Broly had exploded because his power was growing and his Ki was getting even more unstable, which allowed Goku to coat his fist in Ki and give a good punch that caused the Ki to overload and ultimately explode inside of Broly. I tried to recreate the move but to no avail, my Ki isn't inherently unstable and while later on, wishing for that mutation and becoming a Legendary Super Saiyan was tempting at first, but the downside of uncontrollable rage and very volatile Ki put me off and I decided against it
Breaking me out of my thoughts, I arrived at Korin's Tower as I dropped in before saying hi to the large cat holding his stick.
"Ah Zero, what brings you here?"
"Yo, Korin. So I'm here for that Ultra Divine Water or whatever, heard Goku drunk it and got stronger so I want to do the same."
"Ah that, you sure? It won't be easy"
"If Goku could handle it as a kid then I can handle it now, I'm way stronger than he was back then so it'll be fine"
"Well alright if you say so, come on I'll show you it. No point in having you try to catch me for it." He led me to a large room in the tower before pointing towards a teakettle that he picked up before pouring me a cup. I looked at the cup and the now placed down teakettle before opening the top and pouring the liquid back in
"Zero? What are you- HEY!" I then brought the pot to my mouth as I started drinking it all, gulping the liquid down I placed the kettle back down before wiping my mouth with my arm
'Not feeling much, isn't this supposed to be poison?' Once my thoughts ended I was quickly assaulted by the worst pain I've ever felt. My insides felt like they were being branded and burned in magma at the same time, blood started trickling down my nose as I tried to scream but couldn't, my throat was aching in burning pain as I fell to my knees, my muscles convulsing and my pupils dilating, the pain became too much and I blacked out, the last thing I saw being Korin's concerned face as he ran over to me.

"Fuck... That was horrible, Korin? You here?"
"Yeah I'm right here kid, what were you thinking drinking all that anyway!?"
"Couldn't tell ya honestly.. fuck my throats so dry"
"Here kid." He handed me a glass of water before I slowly drank it then stood up, seeing the sun from the lookout as I looked to Korin. "How long was I out?"
"A day and a half" He answered "Goku got up in about 30 minutes so I'm guessing the longer you're out the stronger the effect"
At his words I held my arms by my side before powering up, my Ki shocking the cat before it pushed him back as I didn't control it and just let it flow. I felt so strong
"Haha.. haha.. HAHAHAH! THIS IS AWESOME!" My Ki could be felt for miles, creating a pressure that picked up winds at random before I controlled it all and sucked it right back in
"Geez kid.. you Saiyans are scarily great at getting stronger"
"Thanks for the compliment, gonna see Bulma now. Later Korin!"
"Later kid!" I rocketed off, creating sonic booms as I flew as my power was sensed just above where I had been seconds prior
________________________________________________
"T-That was Zero? He got so strong.." Krillin was shaking as he spoke, the sudden showcase of power from me having surprised him and the rest on the lookout"
"Do we even have to train? Won't Zero be enough on his own for those two?" Yamcha was also terrified, that power felt suffocating, but it also brought up the thought if they were even needed. Goku was already stronger than them, though that difference didn't seem too high, but now they could sense just how far they were from Zero
"Know what I think I'm just gonna go home... Bye!" Yajirobe quickly jumped off the lookout, running quickly as his cowardly nature took over and he decided he was done with this, they could deal with the Saiyans for all he cared, just don't loose is all he hoped for
"And.. he's gone. Kami, how much of an increase did Zero have? Can you tell?" Tien asked the old green man who stood by them, his eyes closed as he concentrated before sighing
"If I had to give a number, I'd say at least a 2.5x increase in strength.. He got so strong so quickly... if I wasn't used to this all I may have fainted"
(Edit: Didn't put in the increase so it seems bigger, my bad, heres the math of how I increased it for the 6 months
1700 x 2 = 3400 x 2.5 = 8500)
"So we really may not be needed huh.." Tien was dejected by that, his pride as a martial artist wanting him to keep going, to keep pushing himself to get stronger, but his mind was telling him to stop, to let Zero go ahead and handle it along with Goku when he comes back and just leave this to them. His thoughts were then cut off by his best friend and fellow fighter
"Tien don't look so down! So what if he got stronger! We can't give up now just because the odds seem impossible!" Chiaotzu's words seemed to bring the three eyed man's spirit as his eyes shined with determination before he quickly went back to training, his actions causing the others to follow and continue as well.

Landing, I fell to a balcony as Bulma laid on a chair enjoying the sun, until she heard my landing as she raised her sunglasses to see me walking over
"Oh Z-Zero! Hey how's it going?" Bulma smiled but I could see and sense her shaking and nervousness, which honestly confused me. I couldn't tell if she was genuinely scared, since I had actually met her more than the Z-fighters and its been established that I'm good like Goku and practically everyone else she's met. Or if this was some weird kink she had and she wanted someone strong, don't ask but like... I've thought of it, I mean come on! Its Bulma! This woman is hot as shit! Childhood crush by the way and I think we'd all take the chance and if not then it was either Maron, 18, 21, maybe Chi-Chi or different 'special' ones like Chronoa and Towa.
"Hey Bulma, came to use that scouter, you upped the limit yeah? I've gotten way stronger since the last time we spoke."
"The scouter? Oh right! Yeah I fixed the limit, here you go." Facing me with a small red hue on her cheeks, she handed me the scouter that she just had on her I guess, as I took it and put it on, releasing my power, the balcony shook as Bulma stumbled a bit before falling as I grabbed her and kept her up... How cliche.
Letting her go, she sat back down on her chair before I looked at my power level and smirked
8,500. May seem small but it has only been 6 months, though I have used weighted clothing most of this time that amounted to about... 10 tons... I'm a buff boy, what can I say? This power level isn't bad, though it is weaker than Vegeta's full power right now and just a bit stronger than Nappa, I have a good plan to train for the rest of these 6 months and it involved one thing on the lookout, it would allow me to possibly unlock my first transformation, and if I can do so, by the time I'm done. My power level should skyrocket, though I won't be able to use it each day but I will soon, pretty obvious what I'll use right?
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber, my ticket to obtaining something to make me much stronger safely without having to worry about accidentally destroying the planet...
Ikari form, just wait for me a bit, I'll unlock you soon.
