Dragon Ball: Goku Si c1

All I saw was a red mist of pure rage. I know what it was; it was my Saiyan rage, the inborn rage of the greatest warrior race in the cosmos.

Some people can argue about this and that about such a claim, but I am biased. I am pure-blood Saiyan, and one could say I am patriotic enough to believe in my own hype.

“Goku! Snap out! Do you hear my voice!?”

‘That voice!’

Its grandpa! Oh, shit! I hope my Oozaru form didn’t go on a rampage!

Thankfully, before I consumed myself, I made sure my energy didn’t go out of control; it’s still on a tight leash. 

If my energy is under control, then my body has to follow suit.

So I followed the voice, and eventually, the rage clouds cleared, and I could finally see.

My eyes went down, and I looked at my grandpa. He was fine!

‘Phew, that’s stone off my chest!’

“Goku, do you hear me?”

“...Yes…”

The old man looked relieved.

“Good! Very Good! You didn’t let your instincts command you. I am very impressed.”

I grinned at hearing that.

“Yes, I made sure my energy doesn’t get out of control. That should allow partial control from the very beginning.” I said to him as I inspected my furry hand.

It was amazing. The power flowing through my veins was primal and hard to control! 

But I loved this challenge.

“Goku, how will you return to your normal form?”

“Thanks to the Full moon, I should return to normal by the morning. For now, I will spend the whole night training this form. I want to control it,” I said with glee.

If I can master Oozaru, I should achieve Super Saiyan 4! Eventually!

There won’t be a need to cut the tail for me.

So, with a new goal in mind, I walked away from the small house we had. With each step, I took, the ground beneath me would shake.

It was something else and, at the same time, strange as everything was small for me.

I decided that I needed not just to master it but utilise it properly as well.

I want to see if I can perform flight in this form and practise beams at the same time.

‘Since I am 10 times stronger, I should have enough energy to perform beams!’

‘But for now, I need to control the energy to perfection.’

As I found the perfect spot, I dropped into Lotus position, closed my eyes and focused.

In this form, it was much harder than I originally thought. 

It was much more primal, and my original rotation method made him feel like I was in a trance-like state… like trying to capture a fleeing dream.

I never thought it would be this hard. But by the time it was past midnight and the moon was at its peak, I was able to ‘collect’ all of my Ki to the core of my being and then wrestle it for full control.

That was my answer to Ki's mastery. It was quite simple: I treated Ki like fiery water. If I want to move water, then I need it to have a form that I can control. So why not shrink it to the size of a cup so that I could move it?

Well, I mentally imagined it to be small, like a cup, but I doubt it was like that in reality.

But the moment I was under total control, I could sense something else there.

It was like something else mixed there…

‘Was this those waves from the moon? Wait! if I can…’

At that moment, I started to undo the bonding between Ki and the moon waves…

I felt how my form started to shrink rapidly, and soon enough, I was a naked boy sitting in a hole made by my Oozaru form’s butt.

“...I did it! Holy!”

I exclaimed loudly as I looked at my naked hand.

“I controlled it! Not only that, but I am keeping those waves inside of me!”

I grinned silly as I realised that if I had them charged up all the time, I could transform at any time, anywhere, and ignore the full moon!

“Goku!”

Grandpa walked over. He had a proud look on his face.

“It appears you had it under full control!” 

“Yes! Once I had the energy under full control, I sensed that it was mixed with something else. I started to undo the mix, and the form was swiftly undone.” I explained to him that now that I have two forms of energy in my body, I can sense an increase in my sensitivity range, and my Ki increased overall.

It appears that controlling transformation was the key. My body rapidly adjusted to this Ki, and it didn’t leave my body.

That means if I continue like this, I should rapidly improve once more.

“Fascinating, so your body reacts to the light of a full moon.” The old man looked intrigued as he gazed at the full moon. I did the same, and I could feel my body reacting to this once again.

It's like gazing at the moon, triggering the absorb effect.

But this time, I shielded my Ki and made the excess energy flow next to it.

I imagined the whole thing like a table with cups. There are two types of cups now. 

‘I wonder if I can use the excess energy from the moon to sense magic better?’

“How is it?” Grandpa asked me as he noticed that I was looking as well.

“Gazing at the moon triggers an absorption effect. If I can master this and make it at will, the monkey form should become something akin to regular transformation for me.”

“If you can master that form, then you will be one powerful warrior. But such a form comes with downsides, doesn’t it?”

“...It does. It's big and sluggish. That is why I should continue training it,” I said while smiling at him.

“Do make sure you are careful with it.” Grandpa Gohan replied just how I imagined a martial artist to respond.

And I like this old man for that even more.

“I will.”

~~~

My training with Oozaru form has proven that Saiyan Physiology is insane. 

The moment you overcome their urges, they become complete beasts.

Thanks to my mastery over Ki and ability to transform, I can abuse the multiplier to some degree.

For example:

If my power level is around 10 and I transform into Oozaru, then my power will be 100. But that's where Saiyan's adaptability comes into play.

Once I transform back from Oozaru, my power level doesn’t return to 10; it becomes around 12 if I immediately go to train to maintain that boost.

Because of this, my training has somewhat picked up the pace, and several months into this, my power was several times over what I had originally.

But to test that, I need some proper measurements!

‘Right! I pod should have a scouter… no?’

With that in mind, I proceeded to look where Grandpa had told me he had found me.

After a couple of minutes of flying around, I located my Saiyan attack pod.

“Ohh, it's so cool.” I swiftly got inside and started to clean it up, as the pod was dirty. No one had maintained it for years, and the interior had quite a bit of dirt.

A few minutes later, I checked the pod for a bit and eventually located a storage area.

With a few button presses, the area opened, and a green scouter appeared.

“There it is, now let’s see.”

I placed it on my left ear and pressed the button. The thing beeped and started to show numbers and directions, but then I started to play with it.

Until I learned how to target myself.

Funny how I understood the language, which is an interesting thing to note.

I am pretty sure that the children of Saiyans are somehow brainwashed, as Radditz told Goku that he had his ‘objective’. 

But then, how should one tell the Frieza Force and the Saiyans that the job is done?

‘Some ideas to think about it.’

After pondering for a bit, I took a reading of my power level.

The numbers moved and stopped at 42…

“...42 is not bad. But I need to work more!” I said to myself before removing the scouter and putting it back into the storage area. Then I took the pod remote from the same area and put it in my Gi.

Yeah, I have a space pod!

This baby can take me anywhere I want AND! I can sell this to Bulma to build something awesome, like that training spaceship and stuff!

‘Oh, right! I need to see if I can wiggle a gravity room from her!’

I started to think of ways to get her to become my personal training gear creator.

I nodded to myself before I flew back to my small home and saw the dragon ball on the pedestal.

‘I can pick up the energy from this quite a bit. Let’s see if I can make this work.

I still remember how insanely strong was Moro and that little bug Babidi.

Magic is necessary for support.

‘Pretty sure with Divine Ki, I could mix and achieve similar levels to what Kai’s can do.’

I walked over, took the dragon ball, and proceeded to try to understand the energy I was sensing.

It was not the first time I tried to sense it and try to manipulate it.

But the energy was extremely different from Ki…

‘Like fire and water…’

‘...’

‘...’

‘Wait! That’s it!’

At that moment, I remembered the classic Taoist approach!

‘!!!’

Treating magic like water instead of fire, fire being Ki, the energy in the dragon ball reacted.

Instead of draining the dragon ball, I opened my eyes and got up, placing it back in its place. Then I walked outside, sat down on my tree stump, and proceeded to spread out my senses and collect wisps of magic in the air.

One could say I proceeded to have my third ‘cup’ of energy magic, which was different from Ki. Ki is a life force, while magic should be something else…right? 

After collecting quite a bit, my sense slightly changed… again.

It was almost like looking at the world in a different way…

Like everything can be altered and moulded in some way…

‘No wonder Moro was so twisted when you see a world like this…’

Honestly, living in such a natural world, it would be hard to watch it get destroyed.

“Well, I got the hang of it. Now let’s see if I can learn how to heal.”

I pondered for a bit before I decided to try it out on some fish.

With a new goal in mind, I proceeded to fly. The moment I was above the cliff, I stopped flying and switched to free-falling into the river below.

With a loud splash, I was in the water and started to look for fish.

Now that I had three types of energies, my senses were extremely sharp. Locating life in water was child's play.

After finding my food, I smacked it out of the water and then followed suit.

Without wasting a second, I placed the fish on the shore and then started to test out my new magic energy.

Since I grasped that it was similar to water, it was not hard to imagine what it had to do to heal. However, it won’t be easy… even if I imagined all of the destroyed fish scales being restored, some of them were restored while others were ignored for some reason…

“Well… At least I know I am walking the right way.”

I nodded to myself before taking the fish and flying with it back to our small house.

‘I suppose fish is for today… I should switch my diet for a bit. Get some dinosaur meat. Maybe get a dinosaur for a pet? Those orange T-rex-like beasts look menacing. It would fit well for a guard dog.’

As I started to make another fried fish, I was thinking about possible pets…
