Bab 6: Ch. 6: The Dragon and the Dead

My name is Shay, and I am a dragon created based on Shenron.

I say based on Shenron, but my Mistress Hanna did not use a portion of the Dragon God's power to create me, unlike the other dragons in existence, namely Shenron and Porunga.

This meant that the type and scope of my powers, as well as my characteristics and appearance are wildly different from the other dragons. In fact, I can proudly say that my powers are at least equal to those of the original Dragon God Zalama's, though, due to the greatness of my creator and Mistress, Hanna, I differ from Shenron, Zalama, and Porunga in three distinct ways apart from the sheer scope of my power.

Firstly, my powers have no cooldown. I keep a certain amount of energy inside my 'body' at all times, and when it depletes, I instantly gather whatever I need from the Core, the Mistress's private dimension.

Since the Core's size is dependent on the amount of power in the 'air' inside of it, drawing power from the dimension itself simply decreases its (almost infinite) size.

My second way of differing from other dragons is in my physical form, or perhaps 'vessel' would be a more appropriate phrasing. While the 'normal' dragons contained themselves inside of seven separate 'dragon ball' vessels that must be gathered each year before the dragon is useful in the least, I reside in seven golden threads that make my mistress's jacket look cool. 

The third thing that differentiates me from the other dragons is that I have two forms that I can choose whether to take. I believe that the reason behind that is because I utilize my Mistress's power, rather than that of a real dragon. Since my Mistress calls me a dragon, I have a dragon form, but since my mistress is human, or rather, Saiyan, I also have a female human form that I prefer to take. 

I take pride in being my Mistress's personal Dragon.

Since my Mistress chooses to hide the majority of her power (for reasons that elude me), none of her other subordinates are allowed to accompany her outside of the Core, however I am allowed to be by her side always, because I am a jacket unless my Mistress calls me. 

"Shay, you there?"

"Of course, Mistress." She shook her jacket gently, prompting me to exit it in my human form, kneeling below her. Naturally, I would never allow my human form to seem older than hers, so I'd de-aged myself to the age of five. 

"You're so rigid, you know. You know I'd prefer it if you called me by my name."

"I cannot. It would feel shameful to debase a higher being like yourself with such horrid disrespect. You are my Mistress, and I am your humble servant. For a servant to call her mistress by name would be absolutely inexcusable." My Mistress had asked this of me multiple times in the past, and I had always felt a little conflicted when I disagreed vehemently with her. Refusing my Mistress was also a grave crime in my mind, but I simply could not lower the honorific with which I spoke to her, under threat of my own eradication. I simply respected her too much to agree to the request.

"Seriously? I'll get you to call me by my name one day, Shay."

I coughed, changing the subject. "Anyway, Mistress. Is it my time, yet?"

"Yeah. You know what you need to do?" 

"I would never forget a request from you, Mistress."

"Then go ahead. I'm trusting you." I didn't budge. It must have seemed weird if anyone had been in the vicinity, two little girls who looked like they were playing knight and queen. 

"Is something wrong, Shay?" My Mistress asked. Suddenly, I realized just how much of a failure I was for hesitating... but...

"My apologies. I'm just a little hesitant about leaving you. I've never done that before." My mission would force me to be away from my Mistress for most of the year. I hated the idea. I really hated it.

"We're connected. You can talk to me any time you want to, Shay, and I can talk to you. I'm trusting you with a big task because I trust you. Just worry about that." My Mistress placed her hand on my shoulder, and I realized once again how stupid and weak I was being. My Mistress was trusting me. There was no greater honor in the cosmos than my Mistress's trust.

"You're right, as always, Mistress." I concentrated for a moment... "Message sent. I am off now."

  I teleported away immediately following my declaration, using my Mistress's technique.

...

Halfway down Snake Way, Mistress Snake realized that she had a visitor. A young, living girl. In another instant, Mistress Snake's palace was relocated halfway across otherworld, and the girl was gone.

...

In a subspace created for him and him alone, Shenron roared. He had just gotten a very interesting telepathic message, and he could feel power resonating with his soul in payment for the message's request. "As you wish." He replied, though the sender of the message never heard him.

...

In a prison in the deepest pits of hell, Raditz was angry. He'd been stripped of everything, his pride, his life, and even his body. All he wanted now was a second chance. He wanted power. Power to make Kakarot, the green one, and even Vegeta or Frieza do his bidding. 

The only good thing about hell was that it gave him time to think. Raditz had accepted his position as a low-class Saiyan Warrior from a young age. He didn't believe that he'd ever measure up to the elite warriors like Vegeta and Nappa, so he'd taken satisfaction in the fact that he could defeat a Saibaman in a one-on-one fight instead. He was more powerful than the riff-raff, at least. Maybe that was a mistake, though. 

His brother and the green man had managed to raise their power beyond their natural limits by controlling their energy. Raditz had never bothered learning anything other than how to control his giant ape form.

Unfortunately, it didn't matter now. As much as he raged, he'd never leave this -

"Raditz?" A young girl, slightly older than the nephew that he had once kidnapped entered his cell.

"You don't look like you belong here, kid."

"Do you?" She asked him.

"What do you..."

"Do you want to go back to the mortal world? Back to life?" She asked him.

"Start talking."
