Chapter 20:Saiyan Spirit

"HHAAAAAA" Cloud said bashing in a punching bag "Feel the wrath of my punches you bag of sand! HAAAAAA!" Cloud continued to scream furiously, attacking the punching bag until eventually, the punching bag flew off it's chain and collapsed towards the ground. "Whoops, looks like I over did it a little bit. Hehe." Cloud said smiling and putting his hands behind the back of his head.

"Woah! This place sure is huge for just one person like you Cloud."Glitch said walking into the bunker with his hands on his side. Cloud turned his head to him and smiled as he ran towards him with twinkling eyes.

"Gliiiitch! What's up man? How you been doing?"

"Well considering that I've been asleep for about three or four days, I guess I'm alright."

"Sweeet. Now come and fight me!" Cloud said putting his fist up towards the front of his face.

"What? No, i don't want to fight you Cloud."

"Coooomee on! I'm itching for a fight right now and I could really use a training partner right about now!"

"I said no. Why don't you just punch the sandbags?"

"I've been using the sandbags! And every time i set a new one up he gets destroyed in only a few punches."Cloud said pouting his face. Glitch sighed.

"Fine, I'll fight you. But let me just warm up a little bit alright?"

"YEEAAHH!!" Cloud screamed throwing his hand up in the air. "You better hurry though. I'm starting to get a little bit twitchy." Cloud said purposely twitching his arms and giggling as he walked away from Glitch. Glitch sighed again and walked to a near by window in the bunker where he saw the calming and quiet part of the city where Yato and Cloud had been living.

"This place is beautiful! The lights are super pretty and bright, and the buildings look like they're from some Japanese village! I've lived in the city for years and i have never seen this part of it before." Glitch said smiling.

"That's because travel between the different boroughs of the city isn't always allowed." Yato said walking inside the bunker with a smile on his face. Glitch slightly moved back and grunted as he saw Yato walking towards him. "No need to be so cautious around me Glitch. What happened the other day is in the past, and you and Jinx were forgiven. Now I want to teach you a few of the correct ways of a saiyan elite." Yato said reaching his hand out towards Glitch. Glitch looked at Yato with a blank expression on his face as he hesitantly reached out his hand and shook it. Glitch than smirked as he felt a slight relief after shaking Yato's hand.

"Speaking of Jinx, where is he?" Cloud said poking a broken punching bag.

"I think he said he was going to sleep in today. I tried poking him out of bed but he hid under the covers and started talking to himself." Glitch said showing a cartoony flashback to a cartooned face Cloud and Yato.

"Well then, I'll be right back. You two wait here and do whatever for right now."

"Wait, where are you going?" Cloud asked "I have to pick something up real quick. I'll be back." Yato said with a funny ominous look on his face as he teleported out of the bunker. Cloud and Glitch looked at each other with blank expression's on their faces.

"He's going to go see Jinx isn't he?" Glitch asked with his blank expression

"No doubt about it." Cloud responded with his blank expression. They both sighed and then looked at each other ,where they started to laugh. "So ready to fight?"

"Yeah sure, let me just change into my fighting gi real quick alright?"

"You have a fighting gi too?"

"Yeah, it looks like yours but instead of black and red, mine is gray and purple. I'll show you in a minute." Glitch said walking into the bunker's locker room. Cloud nodded his head and walked towards the broken sandbags and placed them on it's hook where sand started to fall out of it's holes.

"I will defeat you punching bag!" Cloud said punching the sandbags. Just than Glitch came out of the locker room with his gray and purple gi and approached Cloud. "Heyyy, that looks pretty neat."

"Thanks. Now let's get to it .And one more thing,t his fight is just going to be straight up martial arts fighting okay? So know ki blasts or any other ability. Is that fine?" Glitch said standing in his fighting position.

Cloud smiled as he got into his fighting position as well. "Fine by me". The boys stared at each other in complete silence.

SUDDENLY, THE TWO BOYS RUSHED EACH OTHER, TRADING COMBOS AND COMBOS OF PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER. CLOUD DODGED ONE OF GLITCH'S PUNCHED HOWEVER AS HE WENT UNDER HIS ARMS AND PUNCHED HIM IN THE GUT, SENDING HIM FLYING BACKWARDS. GLITCH QUICKLY RECOVERED AND PUNCHED CLOUD WITH A STRONG RIGHT HOOK TO THE FACE BUT CLOUD WAS ABLE TO BLOCK HIS FACE AT THE VERY LAST SECOND ONLY LOSING HIS BALANCE SLIGHTLY. THE TWO LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SMILED AS THEY TRIED TO REGAIN THEIR BREATH.

CLOUD JUMPED UP HIGH AND RUSHED TOWARDS GLITCH, TRYING TO DOWNWARDS KICK HIM ON THE HEAD, BUT GLITCH COUNTERED HIS ATTACK AND GRABBED HIS LEG. SLAMMING HIM TO THE GROUND AND TRYING TO VOLLEYBALL PUNCH HIM BUT CLOUD COUNTERED AS HE KICKED HIS FIST ASIDE WITH HIS RIGHT LEG AND KICKED GLITCH IN THE FACE WITH HIS LEFT LEG. GLITCH FLEW TO THE SIDE AND SLAMMED RIGHT INTO THE ALREADY BROKEN DOWN PUNCHING BAG, MAKING IT EXPLODE AND SHOOT SAND EVERYWHERE. GLITCH GOT UP FROM THE GROUND AND RUBBED THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. CLOUD SMILED AND RUSHED GLITCH WITH A STRONG LEFT HOOK BUT GLITCH SYNCHRONIZED HIS PUNCH WITH CLOUD'S, CAUSING A STRONG GUST OF WIND TO FORM AROUND THE WHOLE BUNKER.

GLITCH TOOK THIS TO HIS ADVANTAGE AND UPPER CUTTED CLOUD UP HIGH AND FLEW UP TO HIM, PUNCHING HIM TOWARDS THE GROUND. CLOUD LANDED ON HIS FEET BUT WHEN HE LOOKED UP, HE SAW GLITCH LANDING CLOSE TO HIM ABOUT TO HIT HIM WITH A DOWNWARDS KICK, UNTIL CLOUD PANICKED, SUMMONING HIS BLACK FLAMES. GLITCH GASPED AND CANCELLED HIS MOVE, MAKING HIMSELF VERY VULNERABLE. CLOUD NOTICED AND TOOK HIS CHANCE AS HE FLEW UP TO GLITCH, PUNCHING HIM STRAIGHT IN THE STOMACH AND TWIST KICKING HIM STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE GROUND. AND JUST LIKE THAT GLITCH WAS DEFEATED, AS THEY BOTH FELL ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE BUNKER, LAYING DOWN IN AN ANGEL POSITION.

"Man, what the hell was that all about?" Glitch asked trying to regain his breath.

"What do you mean?"

"What's with the flame ability? I thought it was just going to be a straight martial arts match?"

"Yeah sorry about that. Once i saw your downwards kick i kind of panicked and accidentally activated my flam ability. You totally would have won that fair and square man, even though i beat you, I'll count that as your win." Cloud said smiling.

"Well, thanks, but I'm more concerned on that flame ability itself. Both you and Yato are able to use it and it's kind of dangerous."

"Yeah I know. I don't know how Yato has this ability but he said he was going to explain everything today so I'm really looking forward to that." Cloud said getting up from the ground and walking towards Glitch, where he reached his hand out to help him up. Glitch smiled and grabbed Cloud's hand. A few minutes pass by and the duo were sitting down with a table full of food and they both started to eat like pigs.

"So Glitch I told you I was gong to talk to Yato later but I also have a few questions for you too if you don't mind me asking."

"Go ahead and ask Cloud." Glitch said slurping on a big bowl of ramen

"So i was thinking during that training session, how are you, still here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I heard that all the Saiyan's were wiped out a long time ago. So how do you have so much Saiyan energy? Not to mention a clone of the Super Saiyan transformation like I have."

Glitch sat quiet for a few seconds. "Well technically, I'm not a Saiyan, I'm just a regular human with Saiyan abilities."

"Can you explain a little bit more? I want to learn how you were able to achieve your amount of strength."

"Well. I kind of had a troubled if I'm honest with you. When i was born i never met my parents once, i was just born in an alleyway and left to rot in a box." Glitch said slurping on some more ramen. Cloud looked down at his bowl in discomfort.

"I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't think i was going to bring such bad memories from your past."

"It's okay Cloud. If anything, I'm not sad about my past. I started growing up in that quiet part of the city and at the age of seven, I started to learn how to rob stores, but don't get the wrong idea I wasn't stealing any money. I was just stealing food and clothes so I could at least make some type of living for myself. Then one day, when I was going out to plan out my heist to rob some man's food stand, that's when i met JInx. He ran right past me while the police were chasing him." -

-....FIRST FLASHBACK.....

"HEY KID! GET BACK HERE!"

"OH SHIT! THERE RIGHT BEHIND ME! I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TRIED ROBBING SOME SKETCHY AND BRAND NEW LOOKING FOOD STAND!" A young looking Jinx said running away from the police. Suddenly the cops started firing bullets. "WWAAAAHH! WOAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HUH?! ALL THIS OVER A FEW COLD SANDWICHES?!" Jinx said both running and jumping in a funny, cartoony demonstration.

Suddenly, Jinx tripped and fell face front on the floor. "Oh crap!" Jinx screamed as he tried to get up off the ground, however it was too late as the cops had caught up to him and hovered over him with handcuffs in their hands. The cops lifted Jinx up and handcuffed him however just as they were going to take him in, Glitch came in and knocked both of the police officer's to the ground with a single kick. Glitch grabbed the keys to the handcuffs and un-cuffed Jinx, grabbing his arm.

"Let's go! We got to get out of here!" Glitch said running while holding on to Jinx's arm.

"Hey man, thanks for the help and all but who the hell are you?!"

"We'll talk when we get to a safe place!" Glitch said still looking forward and running away.

A few minutes later Glitch and Jinx stopped and hid in an abandoned alleyway where they saw the cops run by. The two sighed in relief and started to pant. "Hey thanks again man. I would have been a goner if it weren't for you."

"No problem. My name is Glitch by the way. Glitch Rochika."

"What's up. My name is Jinx Bowers." Jinx said reaching his hand out. Glitch smiled and shook his hand. "So, what brings you out here Glitch? I mean no one would just help some random kid rob a food booth so what's up with you?"

"I'm in the same position that you were in. I was planning to come and rob that place as well but it seems that it was a fake booth built by the cops huh?"

"Yeah, they really got me good. They really don't make it easy for us kids to make a living huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Well it was nice talking with you but I got to go. See ya."

"Wait! Do you have a place to stay at? If not you could come home with me? We have plenty of food in case you were running low, plus with your help with the cops, we got a whole feast here." Jinx said smiling

"Well, I've kind of been alone on the run for a while now, but i guess if you have food then, I'll go with you." Glitch said nodding his head and smiling at Jinx. "Great! Now excuse me for a second." Jinx said moving a large trash container that was behind Glitch, making a medium sized hatch appear from the ground. Jinx opened the hatch and waved back at Glitch where the two went down a short ladder and closed the hatch, hiding it.

Jinx started to laugh. "I guess I didn't need to speak like we had to move somewhere far in order to where I live but here we are anyway. I call this place The Rat Hole." Jinx said introducing an hidden lair underground filled with many people. "This is where people who don't have no where else left to go stay at. Just like you and I, all these people are homeless and rely on people like me to retrieve food. If you can excuse me for a second." Jinx said walking towards the large group of people.

"What's up everyone! I got you guys some food today! A few sandwich's!" Jinx said tossing some food around towards the large groups of people.

"Yeah!" People screamed as they started to eat the food.

"Alright Jinx! Always providing for his people!" Another man said. Jinx smiled and turned around to look at Glitch.

"Well Glitch. If You want, you can make yourself at home here. Or you can always keep going out on the run like you always do. Just saying though, we could always use a guy like you down here. With your courage, you can be really useful in stealing food with us. I know it doesn't look like much but hey, it's a roof over our head, or at least a sidewalk over our heads." Jinx said smiling at Glitch. Glitch looked at Jinx while thinking long and hard about which was the best approach for him to take. Glitch then smiled and shook his head as he reached his hand out to shake Jinx's hand. Jinx laughed as he shook Glitch's hand and pulled him closer to him, wrapping his arm around Glitch's head. "Great! Now let me show you around the place. This area is where we go to keep track of areas around the city. And this area right here..." Jinx continued to tell Glitch walking around the area.

-...END OF FIRST FLASHBACK...-

"Soooo, you got your powers by stealing from people? Or did you get them when you met Jinx? Which is it?" Cloud said looking at Glitch with a confused look in his face. Glitch turned his head and looked at Cloud.

"Well, it didn't really have anything to do with how i got my strength."

"Oh. Well not to be rude but what was the point of telling me that story." Cloud said biting into a big chicken wing. Glitch looked down at his plate and sighed with a sad and depressed face.

"Well... that was the last time that i was officially considered a human. It was the day that Jinx and I had met your brother."

"My brother? You guys met Yato when you were kids?"

"Yeah, we did, though he was still a few years older than us at the time."

"That's great! So did HE help you guys to get stronger?" Cloud said standing up from his chair. "Man, my bro is a pretty great guy." Glitch looked up at Cloud and stared at him with a frown. "Yeah... if anything, everything kind of changed when he showed up. "

-

- SECOND FLASHBACK-

A very young Glitch and Jinx were finished with their heist and had successfully retrieved bags full of fruits and vegetables.

"Well that was an easy run by today. Great job Glitch!" Jinx said struggling to walk and carry the heavy bags.

"Well if it wasn't for you and your yoyo, those cops would've probably caught us. Give yourself some credit too."Glitch said smiling. Jinx laughed as the duo turned into an empty corner and made their way into an alleyway. However, they were shocked to see two bloody and bruised up men on the ground. One of the men was laying down on the ground in a large pool of blood while the second man was standing over him and looking down at him with blood flowing down his arm. The man grabbed two glass tubes out of his back pockets where he then scooped up some blood from the man'd body on the floor. Glitch and Jinx stopped and quietly tried to back up into the street however it was too late as the man standing over the body swiftly turned his head around, making both the boys stop moving. The man smiled and waved at them.

"Well this doesn't look too good." The man said

"Easy man, we don't want any trouble here. " Jinx said nervously. "We won't tell nobody what we saw. We'll just keep our mouth's shut."

"Well that's okay, it won't be necessary at all.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Because i'm going to pass out in about 3...2...1... and, now" The man said collapsing onto the ground. Glitch and Jinx dropped their groceries and ran towards him, picking his head off the ground.

"Is he alive?" Jinx asked. Glitch checked the man's pulse to see if he still had a heartbeat and even though it was faint, he heard a soft beat. Glitch sighed but when he saw Jinx check the man on the floor's body, he looked up and shook his head inferring that he was dead. Glitch sucked his teeth and picked the man up where he opened up the bunker and headed straight into The Rat Hole meanwhile, Jinx went back to grab the food they had left on the floor.

Some time passed by in The Rat's Hole until the man woke up and arised from a worn down couch where multiple homeless people stared and gasped at him. The man stood up from the couch and limped his way towards a huge wall covered by television's, where he saw both Glitch and Jinx staring specifically at the large t.v. They both looked at his direction and walked towards him.

"Your still alive huh? I had no doubts." Jinx said smiling.

"Yes, i thank you for your hospitality. I apologize for the rude introduction some time earlier, my name is Yato Lightning. May i ask who you are?" A very young Yato asked smiling and walking closer to the two boys.

"Well my name is Jinx Bowers, and this dude with the gray hair is my best buddy Glitch Rochika." Jinx said. Glitch waved his hand to show a formal hello. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds.

"Well, it was nice meeting you two. However, I must take my leave." Yato said turning around and walking away.

"W-wait! Just hold on a second! Stay her a little bit longer! Your not fully healed yet!" Jinx said getting up from his chair.

"Do not worry about me. I am a Saiyan after all, I can fight this pain. Just like i dealt with that other saiyan that i killed a while ago."

"Speaking of which. What happened out there? If it was just a normal fight it would have been fine but that guy you killed is dead, and we would know. We were the ones who got rid of his body!" Jinx said with a sad cartoony face. "At least give us an explanation." Yato sighed and waved the two over to sit on the couch's so they can talk.

"Well since you two did help me, I guess I can explain a little bit about what happened. You may not believe me and frankly i don't care but just listen closely." Yato said sitting up on one of the couch's along with both Glitch and Jinx sitting down on the couch across from him. "I am what is called a Saiyan, from a planet named Planet Vegeta. I was able to escape the planet as it was destroyed a long time ago but I am looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Glitch asked

"My little brother. We were separated a long time ago and I have been exploring the universe in my escape pod, trying to look for him. What I didn't know was yesterday, some unknown person followed my pod here to Earth and he tried to kill me for some unknown reason, so when i finally noticed and confronted him, he attacked me. So i did what had to be done. It's fine if you don't believe me--"

"Dude, there are literally bears that wear suits and are considered normal civilians out here in this city. We believe you."

"Really? How wonderful. That is the first time someone has told me that they believe in my story. However, I must still go. I need to find my brother."

"Well, you could stay here and recover for a little bit. If you need anything just let us know." Jinx said about to get up.

"Hmm, matter of fact I would like to take you up on your offer right now. I need to experiment something real quick and I would like to test it out on the both of you. " Yato said. Glitch and Jinx looked at each other in confusion and looked at Yato.

"Okay, what do you need?"

"First, let's go up to the surface. I don't want to disturb some of the people here." Yato said grabbing two clean syringe from the table. The three exited the underground bunker and went back up to the surface where there were barely any people walking in the area.

"So are you going to tell us what you need now?" Glitch asked. Yato didn't respond but instead smirked. The trio walked and walked until they eventually reached a non-populated area and stood in the middle of the street. "Okay so what now."

"Well, I kind of need you to inject yourselves with this." Yato said pulling out a syringe and the two glass tubes out of his pocket.

"Um, okay. Lookie here man. We only just met for not even technically a few hours, and now you want me to inject myself with some random dude's blood? Yeah, I don't think so sorry." Jinx said folding his arms.

"Yeah i'm with him. This just doesn't seem safe at all." Glitch said

"I beg of you, I just need help with this little experiment and then i will be on my way." Yato said placing the blood tubes into the syringe. Glitch and Jinx looked at each other and sighed.

"Fine, I will go first. But I'm still not a big fan about this." Jinx said grabbing his syringe as well as Glitch grabbing his syringe.

"Do not worry, I know one thing for sure. You too will most likely not die." Yato said smiling

"Gahh! Most likely?! Um I don't know about those odds man." Jinx said screaming with a cartoony face. Yato looked at him with an annoyed face and made Jinx back up a little bit. Jinx sighed and placed the syringe by his neck, as did Glitch and together they injected themselves with Saiyan blood. "Huh? Nothing happened?" Jinx said looking around.

"Yeah I don't feel any differe--" Glitch stop talking as his body started to pump. His body grew sweaty and started to ache and now he started to scream. "AAHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME?!" GLITCH SCREAMED, FALLING ONTO THE FLOOR.

"GLITCH!" JINX SCREAMED RUNNING BESIDE HIM! "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" JINX SAID LOOKING AT YATO. YATO SEEMED TO NOT UNDERSTAND HOWEVER AS HE PLACED HIS THUMB AND POINTER FINGER UNDER HIS CHIN. SUDDENLY JINX FELL ONTO THE FLOOR SCREAMING AS WELL. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ENERGY?! AAHHH!"

JUST THAN A LARGE PURPLE ENERGY FIELD SURROUNDED GLITCH AS ANOTHER PURPLE AURA SURROUNDED HIM UNDERNEATH. JINX TRIED TO GRAB ONTO GLITCH TO TRY AND CALM HIM DOWN BUT GLITCH GRABBED HIS ARM AND THREW HIM, SENDING JINX FLYING A FEW FEET AWAY FROM HIIM. SUDDENLY, GLITCH FLOATED INTO THE SKY WITH THE LARGE PURPLE ENERGY FIELD STILL ACTIVE. AIR STARTED TO DISPERSE AROUND THE WHOLE CITY AS GLITCH CONTINUED TO SCREAM, AS WELL AS JINX WHO WAS SIMPLY SCREAMING ON THE GROUND. THE AIR PRESSURE STARTED TO GET MORE INTENSE AS CARS, LIGHTS, TREES, AND MORE STARTED TO FLY OUT OF IT'S PLACE.

"GEE. THIS IS GOING A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR. I GUESS I SHOULD PUT THESE NEW FLAME POWERS TO THE TEST. LET'S SEE, HOW DOES THIS WORK AGAIN? OH YEAH." YATO WALKED TOWARDS GLITCH WHO WAS AGGRESSIVELY THROWING ITEMS UNINTENTIONALLY. "I SUMMON THEE, THE BLUE FLAMES OF MIND! CONTROL THEE WHO HAS LOST THEMSELVES!" YATO SCREAMED SUMMONING A BLUE FLAMED AROUND NOT ONLY HIMSELF, BUT ON GLITCH AND JINX'S HEAD AS WELL. "HHAAAAAAHHH!" YATO SCREAMED EXPANDING THE FLAMES AROUND THEM. SUDDENLY, THE SCREAMING STOPPED AS GLITCH'S PURPLE AURA AND ENERGY FIELD DISAPPEARED, MAKING GLITCH GO UNCONSCIOUS AND FALL FROM THE SKY. YATO GASPED AND UNINTENTIONALLY, FORMED A LASSO SHAPE OUT OF HIS BLUE FLAMES, GRABBING GLITCH'S LEGS AND SOFTLY BRINGING HIM DOWN INTO HIS ARMS. JINX SLOWLY GOT UP FROM THE GROUND AND MADE HIS WAY TOWARDS YATO, PANTING LIKE AND OLD MAN.

"Y-You. What the hell did you do to us?". Yato looked back and turned to Jinx.

"Well, your little friend right here is a strong one. I could feel his ki and it's almost like mine now. I could tell that that blood really worked on him and turned him into a full blooded Saiyan. I didn't think it would be him but he's really strong. As for you, I could feel some Saiyan energy from you but just not as much. It seems like your body still fought back some of the Saiyan blood within you, causing you to still have your human mentality body and mentality."

"You... turned us into Saiyan's?

"That's right. And as of now on, I will like to be your boss. You will obey me."

"What? What are you talking about?" Jinx said shaking

"As of today, you will obey me as your chief."
