Naspha's Tale

Naspha and his mother walked out of the alleyway, into another dark clammy street. He was young, 6 years old, and his mother even though in her late 30's, was still quite attractive with barely any wrinkles, and flowing black hair which at that moment, was covered by her raggedy hood on top of her raggedy cloak and gown. She grabbed Naspha tight on the shoulder, and spun him around to look at her. She bent down to talk to him.

"Naspha, you have to make a promise to your mother that you will never show those powers to anyone do you understand me?" Naspha hesitated for a moment.

"I promise mama. I won't show anyone."

"Those powers will get you into trouble one day. Now come on my friend Kyiak lives just around this corner." They walked down the alleyway and turned the corner. There in front of them, was a rusted old shack with some clothes drying on a line in front of it. Naspha's mom knocked three times on the door. It opened just a crack revealing and old man with an old worn out hay on top of his head.

"Miya it's you. Come one in." His smile grew at the site of the the beautiful women and her son. He opened the door fully, and they both stepped in. It was a small little house with only two rooms. A kitchen, and a bedroom. He pulled out two chairs, and opened up a wooden cabinet, and pulled out two cups. He put them on the table and poured some tea into them. He sat down on one of the chairs, and invited Miya to do the same.

"So what brings you here Miya? I thought you were living with your friend Leia?"

"Well, actually Kyiak, we were on our way to her house, when something happened."

"What happened my dear?"

"Well, you warned me it would happen one day but I didn't listen. Naspha has finally released his……….powers." Kyiak's smile turned into a straight face, and he put his cup down on the table slowly. His eyes went narrow and he leaned forward.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. On our way to Leia's two men tried to…..rape me. And they would've succeeded if not for my Naspha. He saw what was happening and…………

The Release of Naspha's Powers

"Hey you big dummies, let my mommy go." The two men on top of Naspha's mom, turned around to see a little 6 year old with his fists clenched, and his jaw shut tight and his teeth clenched. They looked at eachother, then reluctantley got up and faced Naspha. His mom now free, had time to button up her shirt, and get to her feet. She jumped forward, and landed on one of the man's back. She wrapped her arms around his neck trying to choke him, and started kicking his tail knowing it was a weakness to all Saiyans. The man grabbed her hands, and spuns her around, throwing her into some nearby garbage cans.

"You're gonna pay for that you big bullies." Naspha screamed as he ran towards the thugs. They looked at eachother, laughed, then one swatted Naspha into a wall, like a harmless bug. This just angered Naspha more. He got up slowly, and stood up straight. He threw his hands straight in the air, and yelled louder than he ever had before. As he screamed, a yellow aura surrounded him, and a burst of energy flew out from him. It threw the men against the wall behind them, and as they got up, opened their eyes stunned. The boy finished screaming and he looked at the two attackers. They got up and started running out of the alleyway. Naspha stuck out his hands and out shot a beam of yellow energy. It hit both of the men from behind, and sent them through the wall in front of them. They didn't move, and from Naspha's point of view, looked like they were unconsience. Suddenly the aura around Naspha faded, and his facial expression went back to it was. He now looked scared and confused, and ran to where his mother was hiding.

"And that's what happened Kyiak." The old man sat back, and rubbed his white mustache. "I know you don't want it, but you know what has to be done."

"Yes I know."

"I'll take him to the martial arts dojo tomorrow and start training him."

"But you can't." she said shooting forward. "I want Naspha to grow up peaceful and living a normal life. Not like those warrior brutes that are working for that blasted Freeza."

"I know what you mean Miya but if he doesn't learn how to control his powers it could one day destroy him when they are fully unleashed."

"I know, I know." She replied sighing. "I just want to make sure he stays safe. Ever since his father Nappa left, he hasn't had all the love he needed and would get in fights when kids would make fun of him for not having a father."

"I understand all that, I will teach him control, respect, and love as well as martial arts skill. I will treat him like he were mine own." Hesitantly, Miya nodded her head. She looked down as she felt a tug at her leg.

"Mamma, what's gonna happen?" Naspha was looking up at her with his big innocent curiosity filled eyes.

"Naspha honey, Uncle Kyiak is gonna take you somewhere tomorrow, and you're gonna stay with him for a while."

"But I want to stay with you mommy." He said as he hugged her leg, and cried his little eyes out.

"I know honey, but it's not safe with me anymore. If you stay with Uncle Kyiak you'll be safe. He knows how to take care of you. I'll visit every once in a while I promise." Naspha didn't reply, just closed his eyes and hugged his mother's leg even closer.

"I'm gonna miss you mommy." He said the tears now flowing down non-stop. Miya bent down, picked up her son, and put him in her lap. She gave into her emotions and also started crying. Kyiak knowing that it could very well be there last moment together, left the kitchen, and closed the door behind him.

The Training Begins

Naspha woke up from the spot he slept on in Kyiak's bed and looked over to see Kyiak sleeping on a lonely chair in the corner of the room. He turned his head the other way, and saw a note on the nightstand addressed to him. He walked into the kitchen where he turned on a small light and scanned over the letter. It read:

Dear Naspha,

"You more than likely awoke this morning to see me not there. But don't worry, I'll be all right. I am headed back to Leia's but I don't think those thugs will try anything again thanks to you honey. Uncle Kyiak is going to take you to his martial arts dojo today and that's where you will stay for a while. He will take good care of you and train you to learn how to control that special ability of yours. I have prepared breakfast for you, it is on the table. I will try and visit you everyday to see how you're doing. Take care my special little one. I love you always, and take good care of Kyiak."

Mom

Naspha clinched the letter to his chest, and started crying all over again. The tears fell all over. Onto the table, the floor, even the breakfast prepared by his loving mother. He looked up as he felt Kyiak's hand placed on his shoulder.

"Eat you breakfast young one, then we will go."

The main streets of planet Vegeta very busy. Most of the men were at some far off planet destroying it, and the women were all at home taking care of the young ones. The houses weren't much bigger than Kyiak's but were made of stone. The two continued walking, and found themselves in front of what looked like a large stone temple. Naspha stared at it in awe.

"This is my martial arts dojo Naspha. I have trained many students here"

"But Uncle Kyiak, if it's yours, how come you live in that small house?"

"You see Naspha, ever since I finished training my last student, I haven't had any use for it. But now that you are here, I have a reason to use it and all the supplies." Naspha nodded in acknowledgment.

"Now come on young one, we have much to do."

* * *

The old man pulled a key out from his pocket, and unlocked the rusted old lock to his martial arts dojo. He pushed open the large, heavy wooden door, with a loud creek. The inside was dark, and it was eerily quiet. Even though it was the middle of the day, the light could not get through the tightly sealed windows. Kyiak reached into his pocket and searched around for a minute. He brought out a match, and struck it against his sleeve. The tiny match illuminated the whole training studio with a gentle glow. Kyiak walked over to one of the large stone columns holding up the roof. He tilted the match down, and lit up a small candle hanging on the wall. He lit up all the other candles on all the other columns, until the room was fully lit. There were many instruments useful for training people in basically any type of fighting. There were punching bags, wrestling dummies, varieties of fighting weapons, and many other things. The ground was hard wood, with a large blue fighting mat covering about 60 percent of it. There were two doors near the back of the room, which Naspha found out, led to the bedrooms, and a kitchen. Kyiak walked to a far corner, and found a big pile of clothes. He threw some of the clothes around, and underneath them was what appeared to be a chest. He pushed open the top, and reached down into the bottom. He came back up with what appeared to be a black cloth. He walked back over to Naspha, and handed it to him. When Naspha got a closer look, he saw that it was a karate uniform. It was a short sleeved black top, with a white circle on the back, and a funny black symbol in it.

"Uncle Kyiak, what is this funny looking thing?"

"Well, you know how a big company will have a logo so everyone will know what it is?" Naspha nodded. "Well, this is my logo. Everyone, who has ever trained with me, got one of these. It shows that I trained this person."

"Do I get one of these Uncle Kyiak?" Kyiak gave a small laugh.

"Of course you do. Put this on, and we will start training." Kyiak turned, and started walking towards the bedroom door.

"What already? We just got here; can't we have something to eat? And what about my mom, she said she'd visit, can't we just wait until she comes to visit?"

"I know how you feel Naspha, but the quicker we get started, the quicker we can finished. You're mom won't be here for a while, so you it's best we start. This is your first lesson: Determination. Once you are assigned a task, you have to stick to it, and give it your best. Now once you are ready, we'll begin." Kyiak walked into the backroom, and shut the door behind him.

"How come he's acting so mean?" Naspha said with tears already forming in his eyes. He took off his shirt, and started putting on his training uniform.

* * *

Kyiak came out about 5 minutes later; dressed in the same black uniform he had given Naspha moments before. He looked over at Naspha, and saw that he too had his uniform on.

"Not bad Naspha. You look almost as good in it as I do." Kyiak said laughing. Naspha just stared at the old man laughing at his own corny joke. Kyiak saw the response and stopped laughing.

"Now Naspha, it's time to begin. First off, I want you to attack me."

"What? Did I hear you right? You want me to attack you?"

"That's right, just come charging at me with all you got. Don't worry I can take it." Naspha just shrugged, and started running toward the old man. Kyiak just stood there as the young boy charged faster and faster. The boy wound up for a punch, and let him have it. But, the punch was quickly grabbed by Kyiak's swift fist. Naspha stood there awe struck and wide-eyed, as Kyiak picked him off the ground, and lightly threw him backwards. Naspha landed on his back and bounced a few feet. He got back up and rubbed his head. He got back back up, and screamed at Kyiak.

"Why did you do that Uncle Kyiak? I thought you were nice?"

"That's what you THOUGHT you little brat." Naspha clenched his teeth, and he repeated the same position he was in when fighting those muggers. The yellow aura returned, and he flared with energy. He ran again towards Kyiak, only this time he was running much faster. Kyiak remained still, until the boy jumped and threw a kick towards his head. He blocked it with his wrist, and returned a punch. Naspha ducked under it, and landed on the ground, and tried to trip his old teacher. Kyiak jumped into the air, and swooped down, fist first. This surprised Naspha and sent him jumping backwards, but was quickly followed by Kyiak. He sent a kick towards the boy, which was evaded, and was followed by a punch into Kyiak's stomach. The punch sent Kyiak back a couple feet, but a grab, twist, and throw by Kyiak, sent Naspha flying the other way, onto the mat, then into the wall. To Naspha's surprise, Kyiak grabbed his hand and helped him up.

"Why did you do all that you big bully?"

"Sorry Naspha, but I had to get you mad to see your full potential. At this point, you're still pretty weak. But with my training, you'll be able to master your full potential."

"Wow, that sounds pretty neat Uncle Kyiak." Kyiak put his arm around his young partner, and they went off in the kitchen. Back to the Fanfic
