The soft hum of the wind was the only sound as Kaidan stood at the edge of a towering Namekian cliff, overlooking the serene green waters of the planet. His newfound immortality and the bracelet's gravitational training enhancements gave him a sense of readiness. Despite his immense power, Kaidan's thoughts were heavy.
He reflected on the peaceful nature of the Namekians, their vulnerability a stark contrast to his warrior heritage. For years, he had focused solely on his growth, but now, for the first time, he felt the pull of responsibility.
A Quiet Conversation
Elder Guru's residence was tranquil as Kaidan entered once more. Guru's voice was calm but carried a weight of wisdom. "You seem restless, Saiyan. What troubles you?"
Kaidan hesitated before answering. "This planet… its people. They're so different from the ones I've encountered across the universe. You're peaceful, yet vulnerable. If an external threat came to Namek, I doubt your warriors could hold them off."
Guru's deep eyes locked onto Kaidan's. "You speak as if you foresee danger."
Kaidan clenched his fists. "It's not a matter of if, but when. A place as unique as Namek—its Dragon Balls—will attract powerful enemies. I've seen what greed can do to planets like this."
Guru nodded slowly. "You are wise beyond your years, Saiyan. What will you do if such a threat arises?"
The Oath
Kaidan's emerald eyes blazed with determination. "If Namek is ever in danger, I'll protect it. I owe you that much after all you've given me."
The room fell silent, Guru's lips curling into a faint smile. "A noble sentiment, Kaidan. Perhaps you truly are different from others of your kind. Namek will remember your words."
As Kaidan left the elder's residence, he felt a strange sense of fulfillment. For the first time, his immense power felt like more than just a tool for his own growth—it was a shield for those in need.
Training Intensifies
Returning to the cliffs, Kaidan activated the gravity bracelet, increasing the gravitational pull around him tenfold. His muscles strained as he leaped into the air, practicing a series of explosive techniques.
Each strike of his Starburst Barrage lit up the horizon, the energy rippling through the landscape. He refined Gravity Shift, manipulating the force to create massive shockwaves around him. Finally, Kaidan worked on mastering his Limit Breaker Pulse, channeling every ounce of his power into a devastating release of energy.
A Looming Threat
Unbeknownst to Kaidan, far across the galaxy, a scouting ship detected Namek's unique energy signature. The pilot smirked, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "This planet's energy readings are off the charts. We might've hit the jackpot!"
The transmission sent to the galactic overlord signaled the beginning of a storm.
Back on Namek, Kaidan continued his training, unaware of the danger closing in. But he had made his vow. If Namek needed him, he would stand as its shield.
