Return

[Kazuma]

The winds whispered a song across the universe, a song of great triumph. The winds sung the song of the heroes that died for these generations. For the universe. Now that it is many years later, these winds were ignored. The melodies of the wind fell on def ears.

Now it was later. A few decades have passed and with the passing years came passing generations. The winds now sung a melody of a great return. It foretold the return of two greater powers, two beings returning to the realm of the Living. Again, these winds fell on def ears, leaving the people unaware of the events that were soon to come.

A nice sunny day swept over the Lost Ground, also known as the Alter Planet. The breeze was nice and calm, creatures of all kinds were running around, coexisting with one another. The bright iridescent sun started to float slowly to the western horizon. The day was moving on slowly, like it usually did in times of peace. The evils of the universe were eliminated by the forces of good. But the forces of good tended to die out with time. A time long ago when warriors fought many monsters, many demons. Now that all was gone, uncontrolled vegetation has taken over this abandoned planet.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The winds were blowing slightly again, the sun was once again setting in the west. The grasses blew carelessly in the wind as the passing moments of quietness resumed. The sun's final shining rays said good-bye to the green grass, leaving a golden glow in the horizon. The grass started to straighten after dancing with the wind. The sun's rays were no longer licking the warm leaves of the plants. The moon was already high in the sky, though the moon was unable to be seen. It was a day of the new moon. The blackness of the day was interrupted by a bright iridescent light, much like the sun's was of this planet.

Flying down from the bright tunnel of light came the out-of-control Kazuma, back from the Other World. The impact knocked the wind out of him. He finally started to breathe, gasping for air, grasping the grass. The cold blades of grass cut into his cold fingers, the warm, dead night staring upon him. He lay there, sleeping. His body was sleeping after being nonexistent from this world for many years.

[Damian]

Just as the night fell a new energy faintly made its way onto the planet. The energy had the taint of evil running through it and was an all too familiar power to the universe. However ..... this energy had changed since its last visit.

Damian yawned and stretched slowly as the full force of the planets gravity overcame him. Though it was not impossible for him to move around the movement itself seemed like some of the training he had forced himself through. He let the full potential of his power seep into the atmosphere as he unleashed it. He moved around a little more easily but avoided transforming to his newly acquired Super Saiyan state as he hadn't mastered it with this body yet. He also knew that letting his power raise would quickly gain the attention of any inhabitants , he knew that there should be one not far from him that would come running.

[Kazuma]

The now populated planet's breeze blew at the other end. The end where Kazuma lay sleeping. the portal has already closed, and his eyes started to quiver. His breathing started to quicken as his eyes finally bolted open. He pushed himself off the ground and wiped his eyes. Finally, after many decades of being dormant, he was able to feel a breeze through his messy hair. He was able to feel each blade of crass touching his legs. His body was sore, it was new. He needed to remember what he used ages before. His mind seemed to remember the weight of the gravity of this planet, but his body didn't. For him it felt as if he was wearing several dozen cars on his shoulders. The column of air above him was pressing down above him harder than any car compactor. He clapped his hands together, and with his luck, was able to thin the air. He felt lighter, for the molecules above his head were separated slightly, releasing the density of the air and the feeling of compactness. The prolonged exposure to the gravity caused his bones and joints to ache. A minor annoyance for him, for he knew how to fix it. He just slightly twisted every joint in his body, cracking them back into position, forcing him to wince at the many cracks he had heard.

A few minutes later and several hundred cracks later, Kazuma stood upright and pain free. He glanced through the darkness, eying the horizon. It seemed as if several hours passed since he first crash landed on his planet, for the sun was already starting to raise, giving birth to the many familiar sights that the planet begot. He smiled and fell downwards into the now dewy grass. He stretched his legs as he closed his eyes, finally able to have a feeling of relaxation.

[Damian]

Damian smirked as he let his thoughts enter a state of all being. His body disappearing fully as he was seemed to simply see everything. In the state he was almost an omnipotent being. However he could only see and hear he couldn't control anything unless he reformed his physical body. He located the being he was looking for , and seemed to fade into existence not far from Kazuma. A smirk spilled across Damian's face as he looked over to the man who had stood as both a friend and a powerful opponent at the same time. His eyes seemed to boar into Kazuma as he let out a soft yawn. stretching as his muscles bulged though it was evident the gravity was limiting his movement greatly.

[Kazuma]

Kazuma continued to rest his eyes as the now weightless atmosphere above him slowly got heavier. He felt as though he was starting to get pressed down deep into the ground, but the ground was made to withstand such gravity. He made sure of that many years ago.

The warmth of the sun and the brightness of its rays awakened Kazuma. Before his rude, bright awakening, he was dreaming about a being that he once knew. A friend that was once his. Max. Max was standing before him. Was it really him? He opened his eyes and saw a figure standing before him.

"Max?" Kazuma said in a groggy voice. He stared, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the brightness. The figure was broader than Max. And slightly taller. He stared at the figure, feeling his presence. He stood up, the wet grass adjusting back to a straight up position after he lay upon it. He blocked the rays of the light to see a saiyan standing in front of him. The large man didn't seem like he was going to fight him, but that was only because he was standing there, staring at him.

Kazuma realized finally that his skills at detecting people had worn down a bit. Even though the skills were faint, he was able to tell that this figure was the evil counterpart of his old friend, Max. Damian stood before him, looking, once again, different. A smile broadened upon Kazuma's face.

"It's been a while, but I'd rather not die after I had JUST gotten my body back." He knew what kind of a disadvantage he was at. He just smiled and hid his only strength. The lightened gravity he was standing in, allowing more speed.

[Damian]

Damian smirked as he extended his hand as if he wanted to shake Kazuma's "So im going to guess that your not fully aware of what i am , or who for that matter. And why your no longer as strong as you once were" he said a friendly smile painted across his face.

Damian then stepped back a wind blowing his hair softly as he watched Kazuma. "Im not going to kill you , at least not now" he said as his energy wavered from having used that old technique he would have to retain more focus if he really wished to use it as freely as he once had. "Yes , you were correct both times , Im both Damian and Max. Your Worst Nightmare and your Greatest Friend." The smile stayed on his face as he explained this in a way he hoped Kazuma would understand. "And i , just as you have , have just returned to the world of the living." he took a deep breath turning his back to Kazuma.

He seemed to stare up at the sky , as if taking in what it contained. Truly he was thinking deeply before he spoke , there would be more time later for him to observe his scenery. "Im willing to tell you what happened and who Damian and Max were. However i have retained the Name Damian im not like the one you once knew. So , i leave the choice to you. Do you wish to hear of what has happened since you last drew breath?"

[Kazuma]

Kazuma stared at the eyes of the changed being. He was wondering why they both were here. Why he had the same, but weaker body, and Damian had yet another new one. The thought process he had was almost instantaneous, and answered with a simple answer. He told Damian, "Though we may have been enemies, you and I, and we may have been friends. You stand before me now, asking me what I want when, I believe, you already know my answer. Tell me, my friend, my enemy, the one blocking the sun from my eyes, tell me and remove the shadows that are blocking my mind. Clouding it up, leaving me confused. Tell me, I shall shut up." He smiled and grasped Damian's hand, shaking it.

[Damian]

"Not here though ...... How fast can you get from one planet to the next? I wont be able to stand much longer in the gravity of this planet." he said sweat rolling down his face from the strain of simply standing in the intense gravity. A soft wind blew the mere force of it causing him to step forward to regain his balance. His eyes locked on to Kazuma once more. "If you can find your way to planet Vegeta , ill be glad to speak with you there." And with his last few words his power seemed to fade away. His body did the same as it seemed to become non Existant.

Damian was once again looking over everything , and nothing at the same time. He knew his destination as he locked onto it......

[Kazuma]

With the disappearing of Damian, Kazuma allowed the air to thicken back up above him, the gravity crushing him. He placed two fingers upon his forehead and in an instant he was gone, away from his home planet.

While he was zooming ever so quickly away from his planet, he looked back and before he knew it, he was at his destination. When he looked back he saw not just his home planet, but the fact that his home planet was only greens and blues with overgrown nature. He turned and he was facing Damian on Planet Vegeta.
