บท 37: The Ancient Saiyans

"What is this power that's flowing inside me?" Bardock looked at his hands confusedly.

"You've changed?" Chilled looked confusedly at Bardock's transformation.

"You bastard I'll never forgive you!" Bardock walked toward Chilled.

"Don't get cocky just because you became golden colored!" Chilled said annoyed as his tail swung and threw Kalan away.

"I have to say... My acting can win an Oscar... Ugh... Should I come clean about my acting or should I continue pretending to be hurt?" Kalan thought as he felt guilty especially seeing Bardock's strong emotions.

*Bom Bom Bom* *Fyu Fyu Fyu* *Bom Bom Bom*

Chilled blasted a barrage of pink energy blast at Bardock. Dust clouds rose and covered the scene.

Bardock blocked the energy blasts like nothing and walked toward Chilled confidently.

"Grrr. You- Don't come closer!" Chilled looked fearfully at Bardock.

Chilled suddenly turned and rushed toward Kalan who were lying on the ground a distance away.

"Don't even think about it!" Seeing Chilled's actions provoked Bardocks rage. He quickly flashed forward and appeared in front of Kalan before Chilled even managed to reach there.

"You- You- What are you!?!" Chilled asked shakily.

"I'm just a Saiyan." Bardock said calmly.

"S-Saiyan?" Chilled exclaimed. He had never heard of the term Saiyan before.

Bardock punched a hole in Chilled's gut, he then shot out an energy blast from inside Chilled's gut. Chilled didn't even have time to say anything before he was blasted to pieces.

"Kalan are you alright?" Bardock turned around to ask.

"Y-Yes. Thank you Bardock." Kalan's mouth twitched a bit and said awkwardly. Bardock thought Kalan was twitching in pain.

Bardock relaxed and his Super Saiyan transformation was undone. The Plants came over and cheered. Ipana treated Berry and brought over a few bottles of medicine. Bardock smeared some on his wounds as Ipana helped treat Kalan's back.

"Kalan thank you for saving Berry!" Ipana bowed and sincerely thanked Kalan.

"No problem. Thank you." Kalan said and thanked Ipana's treatment.

"Poker face. Poker face." Kalan chanted in his mind.

"Right maybe I can absorb Chilled's bloodline, although he wasn't talented. He's still from the Frost race and an ancestor to Frieza. I should at least be able to survive in space. System absorb Chilled's bloodline!" Kalan thought and commanded the System.

*Fwoosh* A strong suction sucked all bits and pieces of Chilled's body and blood.

"What in the world...?" Bardock looked at Kalan in surprise.

"Ehum... Don't look so surprised. I've got a special ability that allows me to absorb other's body parts to turn into nutrition. It'll help me heal up faster and maybe learn a few of their racial abilities." Kalan thought and explained.

"That's interesting..." Bardock said.

"Then I'll go absorb some Namekian blood and regenerate my wounds legitimately." Kalan thought. Bardock looked too scary when he turned into a Super Saiyan, Kalan did not want to incur his anger even though he would eventually forgive him.

"Actually Bardock, Chilled's body was really strong so I think I'll recover by tomorrow." Kalan said as he didn't want to waste time as a half crippled man much longer.

"Great! Should we use Chilled's spaceship?" Bardock thought and looked at the intact spaceship.

"There's no need. We're going somewhere the spaceship can reach. It's like... In a different realm. We're going to the Other World." Kalan thought and explained.

"Other World? Don't only dead people go there?" Bardock asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry I have a way to get there without dying." Kalan said confidently.

"By the way, Bardock that was amazing! You transformed into a Super Saiyan!" Kalan said excitedly.

"That was... Super Saiyan? No wonder I felt so strong." Bardock was surprised but also happy.

"Yes, the yellow fur is a dead giveaway. I'm so jealous! Bardock you have to teach me how to transform into a Super Saiyan." Kalan smiled and said.

The next day passed and Kalan and Bardock prepared to leave. Kalan asked Ipana for their medicine liquid's recipe which Ipana generously gave out.

"This way I won't need to break into Frieza's bases and steal it." Kalan thought as the healing machines made by Frieza Force were what the Saiyans had relied on to heal in the past. Kalan had the system conveniently record the recipe and he also took a few bottles with him which he stored in his storage space.

"System show me my status." Kalan thought of Chilled's bloodline.

"Good! I can survive without air now. And what a big increase in power! It truly is what doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Kalan smiled.

"Bardock let's go!" Kalan said as he grabbed Bardock and sensed for King Kai's Ki. He locked on King Kai's familiar yet unfamiliar Ki and teleported.

*Fwoosh*

*Tok Tok* Kalan and Bardock stepped on the King Kai's Planet.

"Wow!" Kalan exclaimed. The planet was 100 times larger than the one he had been on in his time. And the gravity was 30x instead of 10x.

"The gravity here is strong!" Bardock exclaimed as he tried to adjust to the new change.

"Eh? Seems like I've got some guests." King Kai's voice could be heard from afar. Slowly King Kai walked to Kalan and Bardock.

"Look at who we've got here- Eh! Hu-Humanoid Saiyans!?!?" King Kai shouted fearfully as he backed away.

"Hmph. What's wrong with Saiyans?" Bardock said snorted discontently.

"Humanoid Saiyans? You make it sound like Saiyans aren't normally humanoid?" Kalan asked.

"You- You don't know? Wait your Ki seems different? You two have a much weaker Ki quality compared to Saiyans...?" King Kai noted the difference. He wasn't comparing the quantity of Ki but rather quality. It's like one Ki is an egg while the other is a rock. Even if the egg is way bigger, the egg will break when hit against the rock.

"King Kai! You mean there are Saiyans?" Kalan asked surprise.

"Yes, there are many Saiyans on Planet Sadala. But they are all gigantic apes. Their strength is also great, but what is most fearful is the humanoid Saiyans. Although they look much smaller. All their strength from their originally gigantic ape body have been compressed and concentrated into that small humanoid body. They are extremely strong and evil. They kill and destroy anything they see. They are feared throughout the universe. Even the humanoid Saiyan's eyes are blood red as if their minds have sunk in endless bloodlust. But you two are much different from those scary Saiyans of Planet Sadala. At least you're conscious and maintains your reasons like normal people." King Kai said and visibly relaxed after seeing the difference.

"There are Saiyans!" Bardock exclaimed.

"You yourself seem like a Saiyan and you don't know?" King Kai looked weirdly at Bardock.

"King Kai what year is it?" Kalan thought and asked.

"Hm? You don't know? It's 238 before age." King Kai looked weirdly at Kalan.

"King Kai we're from the future age 739, by some accident we were pulled into a weird vortex and brought here to the past." Kalan explained.

"What? How is that possible!" King Kai said unbelivingly.

"King Kai I'm your student. I've learned telepathy, Kaioken and Spirit Bomb from you." Kalan started explaining and showing his skills as evidence.

"Ah? Kaioken!? That's the technique I'm trying to develop!" King Kai exclaimed surprised and happily got to learn the technique he was going to develop without needing to spend many years to develop it. Finally King Kai believed Kalan.

"Do you know Yamoshi?" Kalan suddenly thought and asked. He knew Yamoshi was at least one of the Saiyans who could maintain their reasons.

"Yamoshi? Yes I've heard of him. He's known as the fearful Super Saiyan. He is very evil he won't even let his own people off. He has rampaged and killed hundreds of Saiyans and incurred their wrath. Now the whole Saiyan race has rallied up to kill him." King Kai said.

"He's still alive?!" Kalan exclaimed happily. He would be able to meet the ancient Saiyans and maybe even absorb their bloodline. If it is as King Kai said, then they are way more powerful than the modern Saiyan.

"Yes, but kid you should not go look for him. He indiscriminately kills everyone." King Kai warned.
