Gacha Saiyan: Chapter 10

I reappear in front of a small rundown building. 

It's larger on the inside than it is on the outside. 

Hyperbolic Time Chamber logic... or maybe it's just a pocket dimension. 

"Wait... you?" A voice speaks behind me, causing me to turn. 

"Oh? Froze was it? How have you been?" I ask. 

The short changeling shrugs slightly. "I've been better. You put a hell of a crick in my neck when you hit me like that." 

"Sorry about that. That's kind of hard to control." 

"Tell me about it..." He scoffs. "So... super saiyan five, huh?" 

"Not exactly. Think of it like... ah... oh! You know that red outline thing some super saiyan fours do when they tap into more power? Think that, but far more potent... or you could call it Super Saiyan Four and a Half." 

"So there is a Super Saiyan Five out there?" He questions. 

I lean over slightly, loudly whispering. "Between you and me, I think Gogeta was actually a super saiyan five when he was wrecking Omega Shenron's shit." 

"Ah. That'd make sense." The changeling hums. "So. What brings you here? This where you train under the yardrats?" 

"Yep." I nod once. "Good choice to check this place out. Your Kaioken will flourish after you learn their Ki control methods and Instant Transmission is just sooooo convenient." 

The lizard lets out a low hum of acknowledgement as we both turn and make our way inside. 

"Oh. Also. Fair warning... this is going to fucking suuuuuck. But if you pull through you'll come out far stronger for it... maybe don't get into any fights though as your energy output's going to increase and you don't want to accidentally vaporize someone." 

"Hm?" He hums. "I'll just take your word for it... hey... would you mind sparring with me sometime? It's kind of rare to find someone on my level." 

"Sure. Sounds good. I need someone to spar with that won't force me to go super saiyan four right off the bat to even scratch their base forms." 

[Split] 

BOOM 

A red aura crackles around me as my fist clashes against the forearm of my sparring partner. 

"I swear. Your people are such bullshit." 

"Hi pot. I'm kettle." Froze smirks  

I'm currently sat at times four kaioken while Froze is in his first form. 

We've both improved leaps and bounds in the short month since he joined the Yardratian Dojo. 

"I still think there's potential your race hasn't reached yet." I grin as I duck a kick and counter with an uppercut. 

I'm currently slightly ahead of him in base power. 

"Yeah? Form six? Believe me. I've tried. I'm unsure if it's possible." The changeling replies after shaking his head slightly from the force of my blow. 

"Maybe you're looking in the wrong place." I begin, blocking a punch with a wince, a brief flicker appearing around the changeling as he taps into kaioken for the briefest of moments. "Like... form five is Oozaru and you need to look for Super Saiyan." 

He pauses for a minute, catching my punch in one hand, a kaioken aura crackling around him. 

He scratches his chin, looking thoughtful. "Maaaybe. But where would I even begin?" 

My own aura surges as I duck past a punch, slamming my knee into his chest. 

"Well, first off, you'd likely need to be in your 'true' form. There's no sense in looking for transformations when you're already limiting your power." I state, grabbing his extended forearm and punting him downwards. 

He shoots a ki blast at me but I punch it right back, causing it to detonate on him as his power surges. 

His body breaks away, bio armor disappearing as he returns to his sleek natural form. 

I quickly turn super saiyan, my kaioken dropping. 

I'm currently a little under fifteen times weaker than him. A level of kaioken I can sustain quite easily. 

Of course... 

After his energy training he can withstand ridiculous levels of kaioken as well. Even in his fifth form. 

A true worthy opponent. 

If he unlocks golden? 

Ohohoho that'd be kickass. 

He's arguably my only male friend. 

"So... how's your relationship with... Toki was it?" He asks, eyes closed, seemingly focusing deeply in on himself. 

"It's going well." I admit. "We kind of live together... but not out of like... romantic need. There's other circumstances that force us to live together." 

"Oh?" 

His eyes snap open as he appears next to me, kaioken surges around me, climbing to times fifteen as his fist crashes into my jaw. 

I don't take that lying down, however as my own attack crashes into his stomach. 

We are both knocked away from each other at high speeds. 

A kick is blocked, a ki blast is swatted aside, two beams briefly clash before one of us abandon it and quickly dart around the outside. 

We clash once more, the changeling speaking. "I wish you luck... hope it works out better than mine did." 

"Your girlfriend was just a psycho bitch." I reply, knee straining against his elbow. "You'll find someone." 

"Hm. I'm not really looking for love at the moment. I'll focus on my job first for a little while." 

I break away from our clash, slamming an air-shuddering punch into the lizard's cheek. 

"Oh yeah?" I call out. "You got accepted into the time patrol?" 

I let out a grunt as the wind is knocked out of me, Froze's fist burying itself into my stomach. 

"Of course. I'm set to move into Conton City sometime this month." 

I grab both sides of his head and smash my forehead into his nose, causing him to flip back, his shin striking my chin and shooting me upwards. 

"Maybe... you'll see me around, then." I grit my teeth, blood seeping past my lips. 

With a sudden burst of speed, adrenaline briefly coursing through me I land a dropkick on his chest, shooting him down into the training ground below. 

[Split] 

Towa looms just behind me as I look over a few seeds floating in a vat of fluid. 

"Is this... it?" I mutter slowly. 

"Yes. Those are just the basics of creating a saiba capsule. It gets a little more complex the stronger you desire to make one, but at the end of the day, these Kaiwareman are just a test to see if your... ability... works on them. If it does... I'll be incredibly jealous. If not? Oh well, it was a decent thought. 

Chronoa sits nearby, arms crossed. 

She is just watching, mildly interested. Mainly here to shout at Towa if she looks over my shoulder and presses her chest into me... again... 

"Well. I guess all that remains is to test them out." I mutter under my breath. 

The capsule drains, leaving twenty seeds at the bottom of it. 

It hisses open with a click as I gather them. 

We all step outside as I go to my front yard. I drill a single small hole in the earth with my fingertip, then bury one of the seeds and cover it up. 

"Here. Saibamen growth serum." Towa cuts in, offering me a small pipette. 

"Oh, thank you, Towa." I smile as I take it and squirt it on the seed, taking a few steps back and crossing my arms. 

It takes a few minutes, but eventually a small blue alien crawls its way out of the earth. 

Towa beings out a short ranged scanner- a method to scan power levels that the time patrol uses as to not have it pop every time it is turned on in a major city- a red light washing over the Kaiwareman. 

"Four thousand one hundred and ten... damn it." The woman curses. 

"Is that low?" I question. 

"No... the average for these are about four hundred." She supplies. "So... it worked... your nonsense ten times multiplier functioned as advertised." 

"Kyeeeh! Kyeeeh!" The saibamen states while pointing at the several seeds I have in my hand. 

"It has... notable intellect as well." Towa whispers. 

"You want these?" I ask, causing the blue skinned creature to nod several times. 

"Whatever." I shrug offering him the rest. 

I blink slightly as he tosses them into his mouth. 

"Uhhh... what just-" I blink only to pause. 

His power level begins to rise... slowly at first but then it begins to pick up speed. 

It grows higher and higher as its body seems to glow brightly. 

Eventually the glowing fades revealing the Kaiwareman but... he has changed somewhat, he's a bit taller, he has hands now instead of just three fingered claws. He is more well-proportioned, with a larger torso, longer legs, and longer arms. On each side of his head is a long straight horn. Like frieza's first form or Captain Ginyu. 

It seems to look over itself. 

Then it speaks, voice scratchy and slightly breathy, like it is speaking by inhaling instead of exhaling. 

"Thank you." 

"Holy shit..." Towa whispers. "it- You're smart enough to learn techniques... you could learn the Kaioken!" 

"And- and their power!" The woman gasps, scanning the Saibamen yet again. "FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX THOUSAND?!" 

Oooh. That's comparable to first form Frieza. Interesting. 

"What is my purpose?" It asks. 

"Uhhhhh." I blank almost instantly, turning to look at Chronoa who looks just as shocked as I am. 

"I... suppose I could enroll him in some sort of time patrol academy..." The woman whispers. 

"A better question is what do you want to do?" I question the Saibamen. "What do you want to do with your life?" 

The creature closes its eyes. 

"I want to get stronger. I want to fight." It eventually decides.  

"Well, the time patrol academy would be a good place to start." I nod slowly. "But what should we call you?" 

"Hm? I am... the Kaiware-King." It decides. 

I see... 

[Split] 

A sit on my couch, a frown on my lips. 

"It's... not every day that a new intelligent race comes to Era Gaia." Chronoa whispers, right beside me, my arm hung loosely around her.  

"Interesting..." Towa smiles from nearby. "Greater intellect, the ability to speak, and power comparable to that of first form Frieza... dare I say, Scallion, if we were to work together we could birth a truly powerful creation!" 

She scoots slightly closer so she is on my other side a smile on her lips. "We could birth greatness another way as well... the longevity and ability to feast on Kili of demons... and a Saiyan's raw primal... vigor. Dare I say, such a combination would be totally unheard of!" 

Chronoa glares quietly at her as Towa presses herself into me slightly. 

She quickly moves to a more reasonable distance though, causing Chronoa's rage to simmer and cool slightly. 

"Hmph." Towa crosses her arms over her bust, looking away. "I don't get why you're so possessive anyways... I'm the only person in this room actually capable of bearing his child." 

"YOU-" Chronoa snarls only for me to cut in. 

"Dragon Balls." I deadpan. 

"..." 

"What?" Towa blinks and Chronoa looks in confusion. 

"If we wanted to have a child and if she isn't already capable of it, we'd just wish for her to be able to on the dragon balls... or just wish for the dragon to create a kai-saiyan hybrid child from us. Life's really not that complex with wish granting orbs." 

My eyes narrow slightly. "Though... I don't appreciate you making Chronoa feel that way." 

"R-Right... sorry... I overstepped there." The demon woman winces slightly. "I'm sorry." 

You know... it's kind of strange but I think she actually meant that. 

"Whatever." Chronoa grumbles. 

"M-Moving on... on the topic of Saibamen in general... if we were to TRULY work together to the best of our capabilities... from my calculations we likely could make an Imite-king with a base power level of eighty MILLION!" 

"With a mask, you'd likely have something capable of fighting even super saiyan three goku quite easily! And that's not to mention whatever effects you might get from it by figuring out some sort of way to enhance it with the fruit from the tree of might!" 

"Mask?" I echo. 

"Oh... that was another one of my creations. A power enhancing mask that greatly empowered whoever wears it, amplifying dark thoughts and placing the wearing under the time breaker's- my- direct control. There are some issues with it, sure, mainly that the wearer cannot make use of any racial transformations, but the levels of strength the mask would give allows them to easily be comparable to Super Saiyan in their base forms... sometimes even beyond!" 

A frown appears on her lips as she looks at both Chronoa and I. "Don't tell me- did- do the time breakers not even use them?! What the hell?! I worked for YEARS on them!" 

I cast a gaze towards Chronoa which she meets. She idly shrugs at my silent question of 'do they really not?' 

"Maybe they never figured out how to do it." 

"it- But it's so SIMPLE though and- and.... and..." She slowly turns to me, a glint appearing in her eyes. "And if I were to walk you through the creation of one... it would be far more powerful." 

"So. Has your magic finally recovered enough for you to try something?" Chronoa asks with a raised eyebrow. 

"How did you- oh... right... kai's are capable of making use of magic as well, aren't you? Just not to demon standards." Towa arrogantly tilts her head back. "I suppose estimating my magic would be simple even for you." 

"You do realize she could still very easily kill you, right?" I question. "Your power level is still like... ten thousand." 

"Oh. I'm aware. But if I make her snap and kill me... I win. And she knows that." The demoness smiles darkly. 

"In that case... what's Chronoa's victory condition?" I ask, eyes flicking to the Kai who has her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. 

She stands up, scoots over slightly and takes a seat in my lap, causing me to to flinch. 

My face is red almost instantly. 

Judging by how red Chronoa's ears are she's about the same. "M-My victory c-condition is bedding y-you!" 

"YOU BITCH!" Towa snarls. "DAMN IT!" 

I wordlessly wrap my arms around Chronoa from behind, resting my chin atop her head. "Well. Your move Towa. Chronoa can claim victory at any moment. What say you?" 

Chronoa squirms slightly causing me to flinch slightly. 

oh boy... I hope I don't get a- oh... no it's going to happen at some point. 

"W-Wait... are... are you egging Chronoa and I on?!" Towa accuses, causing the Kai in my lap to blink twice and slowly turn her head to look at me. 

"To be fair... I'm a saiyan..." I shrug. "You two bickering is really hot to me." 

The two women give me half-lidded stares. 

"Well, sorry for being born a Saiyan." I roll my eyes. "But to be fair, two women fighting over you would probably entice any guy. Not just a brutish fighting race like the Saiyans." 

Chronoa abruptly flinches, eyes widening slightly as she looks down, her blush intensifying. 

"Sorry. But that one's kind of on you." I glance away. 

[Split] 

I've hit a wall. 

I glare down at my fist as I do three swift punches into the air that causes blasts of air to ripple forwards. Violent gales of wind from the sheer scale of my fists moving. 

"Damn it..." I lowly growl, my voice booming out into the pocket dimension. 

I need to get even stronger! 

This can't be the limit! 

I've managed to get super saiyan four up to three fourths the power of super saiyan god. But after that... I just can't seem to improve Oozaru any further. 

I NEED MORE POWER. 

A large chunk of rock is cleaved from the mountain face as I punch downwards. 

I close my eyes, power vibrating around me. 

Well. 

Maybe I'm reaching a sort of 'super saiyan to super saiyan two' issue. 

I need some sort of catalyst to grow more powerful... maybe... super saiyan two? 

I've long since unlocked the form and gotten points for it. not enough to purchase the 'fury' or whatever it was, but... eh. Whatever. 

I guess all that remains is to try to go super saiyan two... 

My body glows brightly, becoming a bright gold. Sparks cascade around my form. 

Crack 

"HRAAAAAAGH!" A roar leaves my lips as my body is subjected to a deep burning agony. One that intensifies as I grow smaller and smaller. 

The pain is slowly held back through my biokenetic abilities as my power surges higher and higher. 

I nearly back out for a moment, eyes closing. 

Then a moment later my eyes snap open, the earth around me being blown outwards as my aura explodes. 

I fall to a knee, gritting my teeth. 

"Heh... Heheheheh." I begin chuckling, my canines sharp and pointed. "AHAHAHAHA!" 

ping 

An Achievement has been unlocked: 

Unlock Super Saiyan 5: +600 

Master Super Saiyan 4: +200 

Forge a path to the transformation people think is just a pallet swap. +100 

I mentally purchase the thing I had saved, then roll again. 

850 Points Remaining 

Rolling. 

Awakened Faunus Huntsman: Worth 800 
At will, you can transform into a Faunus or back to normal. You can remain in that shape as long as you wish with all the benefits that entail. Roll in the Mundane Animal Category to determine your animal’s traits. 

In addition, your Aura is activated and it remains so even in your base form. You know the basics of using it. 

Finally, you also gain the basic training of a Huntsman and the ability to summon at will a personalized Mechashift weapon. 

"hah?" 

That's from... fuck... what was it called? It's been like thirty years. 

There was a show I remember from my past life.  

Something about... soul power? 

This will basically be giving this world an entirely new power system... like Haki or Gourmet Energy. 

I mean, there's literally zero reason not to. This sounds kick ass! 

I drop from the illusive super saiyan five state, crossing my arms, purchasing this next perk. 

Faunus trait detected. Strengthening knowledge of Aura and Huntsman perks. 

I close my eyes as it's... as if there's a small 'click' 

A warm crackling outline surrounds me, pink in coloration. Vigor fills my body. I can feel myself healing on a deeper level through Biokinesis... I just gave myself a far greater regeneration factor. 

Power of the soul? 

Well. Half of my soul is godly, sooooo. 

Huh. 

Maybe that's where the pink comes from? 

FUCK! I'm going to get Super Saiyan Rose, aren't I? 

I shake my head looking over my body. 

The physical boost this power gives me is... intriguing. And the knowledge I'm now working with. 

I-I can unlock this in others... 

I clench my fist, a grin appearing on my lips as my aura springs to life around me. 

"Let's see here... KAIO-KEN!" 

My power surges higher. There appears to be no downside to using them in conjunction. 

"Twenty!" 

Nothing. 

"Forty!" 

Also nothing. 

"Eighty!" 

A slight strain... about average- hold on... 

Aura is improving my passive healing factor. 

A times eighty would normally be VERY slowly straining my body. 

That strain is being recovered almost as soon as it appears. 

"One hundred and sixty!" 

My power surges higher, a slight sting radiating across my flesh. Not even slightly close to my maximum yet. 

I'd normally begin cackling right now, but... I've already giggled madly for unlocking both Super Saiyan Four and Five. Any more cackling and I'd probably go off the deep end. 

Regardless. 

I'm impressed. 

Aura perfectly covers kaioken's weakness. 

And while this 'aura' is being drained faster now thanks to kaioken, I could still probably fight like this for... maybe a couple of hours- wait. It's a barrier. 

It'll lower every time I get hit. 

Ah. 

That's kind of an annoying downside. 

Still though! This much power... 

I'm putting out around double the power a super saiyan three should. 

Or about eight hundred. 

I release the kaioken and my aura, closing my eyes and cupping my chin. 

'So. Aura's about a five times multiplier to physical abilities. Enhances senses, healing factor, and even creates a barrier around you... the only issue I can see is that you can't seem to 'improve' how much it strengthens you at least from a cursory glance.' 

The fact that I can unlock it in others makes it a worthy purchase. Almost as worthy as Biokinesis... but honestly? That one might just be a little more broken. 

Or not... as I can't give it to other people. 

Regardless, Chronoa needs to be alerted to my progress... maybe I'll get a... reward... of some sort. 

Like a date! 

With a flash I disappear from my pocket dimension. 

As I reappear in my living room I blink twice. 

Oh... 

Right... should have probably checked on that demon lizard thing. Oh well. 

"Chronoa!" I call out. 

The short woman pops into existance next to me, a bright smile on her lips. "You rang?" 

I pick her up, hugging her close with a small spin, then place her back down. 

She lets out a few quiet flustered sputters as I smile. "Guess what?" 

"W-What?"  

"Super Saiyan Five... I've done it." 

"YOU FIGURED IT OUT!?!" She gasps, eyes wide. 

"Mhmmm." I nod once. 

"Also... uh... unlocked a weird new power that I can unlock in other people like that magic ring." 

"The- OH RIGHT THE MAGIC RING!" She facepalms. "How did I forget about that?!" 

"But- you unlocked some new power?! Seriously." She points an accusing finger at me. "We need to go and unlock someone's magic first... then we can check out your cool new powers and transformation. Okay?" 

"That's fine by me." I nod once. "But... here's a question. Do I get some form of... reward for these discoveries?" 

"Oh? Of course? What do you want?" The woman smiles brightly. 

I give her a half-lidded stare. 

"..." 

"Oh? OH!" She gasps, her face turning red again. Steam practically puffing from her ears. "I-I see... hm... I-I might be able to think of a r-reward for y-you." 

"I could bear your children." Towa suggests from the other room. 

"She could-" Chronoa begins to agree, clearly not in her right mind, eyes hazy, clearly thinking about what my reward could pertain. 

She snaps back to attention, shouting over her shoulder. "TOWA I WILL MURDER YOU!" 

"Heeeey never forget! You agreed. Your exact words were 'She Could'." 

"Biologically speaking, what you said was correct. you could. She didn't say that you are, though." I call out. 

"Semantics!' The demoness walks into the living room, covering her mouth as she yawns. "Sooo. Super Saiyan five and new powers huh? You're a real catch, you know... ugh lucky midget." 

"EXCUSE YOU?!" Chronoa growls. "That's it! I'm taking MY boyfriend away. That'll show you!" 

The tiny woman grabs my forearm, splits into two copies, then teleports away. 

We reappear in a fairly dark room. 

"Oh, hello Chronoa... Ah, Scallion too how have you been?" Wairu is sitting behind a nearby desk. 

"Oh, you know, pretty good. Figured out super saiyan five... got a new power that is... kind of weird." 

"So... you finally cracked it, huh? And weird powers? That seems pretty standard with you." The pink skinned kai points out. 

Chronoa is quietly fuming to herself, muttering under her breath. 

"What's up with her? Towa?" 

"Towa." I answer with a sole nod. 

The kai lets out a small huff of laughter as I smirk along. 

"I'll show that demonic bitch." Chronoa grumbles under her breath, slightly hunched over, hands clenching like she's imagining strangling the life out of the blue skinned demon. 

"So. What are you up to?" 

"Paperwork." She replies simply. "I'm looking over the applications for the newest generation of the time patrol." 

"Oh? Any interesting candidates? Froze said he was approved... and what about... uh... what was that one guy's name? The guy in the tournament? The arrogant douchebag?" 

"Leek? He was rejected... for now." She admits. "As for Froze? He's been accepted. He is currently the ten thousand and eighty seventh strongest time patroller. Near the bottom of the list, mind you, but still above some." 

"Oh cool. Dude's been working hard." I smile slightly. 

"What about you?" The woman asks. "Would you like to join?" 

"Nhhh Nah. Not yet. I'm honestly happy with pushing the boundaries of super saiyan... I'll probably start trying to figure out super saiyan six now that five's out of the way." 

"Honestly, I never believed we'd find five." 

"Well, I mean... Gogeta did it first." I admit with a small shrug, causing the kai to blink. 

"Huh?" 

"When he fought Omega?" 

"Oh? OH! Seriously? That... makes a lot of sense." She mutters. "Welp. Now that you've figured out how to achieve it, you're probably going to be hunted down by some of the other time patrollers. Want me to see if I can set you up a specialized class where you're the teacher?" 

"People would probably feel embarrassed to be taught by some guy who would probably not hold a candle to their base forms even while pushing the limits of super saiyan two." I deadpan, causing the kai to shrug slightly. 

"So." I continue. "Want to drop by for dinner sometime." 

"Sure. It has been a while. I'll let you know when I'm free." Wairu agrees. "it's always funny to see Chronoa and Towa fuss and fight." 

I cover my mouth as I snort, rolling my eyes slightly as a warm smile rests on my lips. "Tell me about it." 

"Scallion!" Chronoa suddenly exclaims, causing me to flinch slightly. 

"Yes Ma'am?"  

"A-Am... Am I prettier than Towa?" She questions. 

"Oh my gods." Wairu sighs, facepalming. 

"Yes." I answer immediately. 

"Really?!" The kai gasps instantly going back into her little fantasy land. 

"Really?" Wairu echoes, causing me to turn and speak in a deadpan tone of voice.  

"Every boyfriend has the most beautiful girlfriend. It's the rules of dating. You'd know that if you ever actually tried to date someone." 

"H-HEY! I'm still strong enough to erase your ass! Don't get snappy with me!" The kai pouts 

"Oh. Another thing. Saiyan. Strong willed women. Stop that." I point out. 

She blinks twice. "aaaah. Shit. My bad. I'll try and tone that back. But you aren't helping being such a little bastard." 

"Sorry. Force of habit." I smile as I slowly stand, approaching the dazed fragment of the supreme kai of time. 

"Era Gaia to Chronoa, are you there?" I wave a hand in front of her face. 

"H-Huh?" She blinks, looking around. "Yes, Scallion?" 

I gesture around the room. "Why are we here?" 

"..." 

"It was the first place you could think of to teleport in order to get away from Towa... wasn't it?" I ask. 

"N-No?" 

"You're so adorable." I shake my head, rubbing my face.
