Cherreads

Rise of the Saiyan God (EX)

Extra: Zangya's Redemption 1After the defeat of Cell, Haru was in fact uneasy with the loss of his father. Too paranoid about what would happen to the earth if he failed to protect it.

This was the beginning of his clashing with Chichi.

After enjoying the peace for a few days, he finally decided to spend a day (which is a year) in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in order to master his SSJ2 transformation.

Things progressed as one would expect, but this time, Haru's reasons for joining the World tournament were a bit more necessary than for fun.

It was around this time he had run away from home and needed the prize money. This year's prize was the biggest one yet.

When Bojack's crew began killing the other fighters, because Haru had far better control over his SSJ2 form, things turned out very bad for them.

Kogu was slain by Future Trunks who was still visiting at the time.

And, Bujin (the short race of Hera dude who wore red) was immediately get killed in his initial encounter with Haru.

At the time, Haru had become more serious and resentful from overuse of his SSJ2 form. When Bujin used his Psycho thread on him, Haru broke out of it easily and then kicked the red clad Heran's head off.

Later when he was reunited with Trunks and Krillin (who were badly injured) Haru dispatched Bido with a kick to the stomach, tearing him in half and vaporizing his body shortly after.

Vegeta and Piccolo fought Bojack who then transformed into his lime green "Full Powered" state, and defeated both.

After Haru easily defeated Bido, all the was left was Bojack and Zangya.

Zangya was not as blood thirsty as her team mates, or as destructive, however, at the time, she was very indifferent to their methods and reputation.

While not entirely evil herself at the time, she didn't actively try to stop her team mates either. They traveled from planet to planet looting and wreaking havoc.

Other than that though, Zangya really only stuck by her team mates because they were the last of their race.

Having witnessed Haru dispatch Bido so easily, Zangya was once again too scared to act.

If Haru didn't master his SSJ2 form prior, he likely would have let his rage take full control and would have killed Zangya too.

However, this time because he had more control and was more aware, he wasn't just a walking death machine.

Bojack glared hatefully at Haru for having defeated his team.

Zangya could barely breathe because fear had fully taken over. She stepped backward in a state of shock.

Cowardice was something Bojack hated so he didn't hesitate to make his next move.

He grinned sinisterly and pushed Zangya forward because she was standing in front of him and prepared to fire an energy blast through his own team mate.

Haru could see Bojack was about to betray his on comrade. Normally he would have let it happen, but the look on her face made him take pity on the girl.

Somehow, Haru managed to teleport between the two after Bojack's initial push.

This made Bojack stop and stare in awe.

Zangya turned around to see what her boss was about to do to her. He was still holding the disintegrating green energy.

In this insanely fast time frame, Haru kicked Bojack's arm causing his Grand Smasher attack to fire into the air instead and explode.

Zangya fell backwards, seeing Haru behind her. But she was also shocked that Bojack would attempt to fire through her. She was in a state of total fear and couldn't even speak.

"Do something you worthless fool!" Bojack barked at Zangya who was still on the ground trying to comprehend what had just transpired. The look of burning resentment dominated his glare.

The leader of the crew she had been traveling with for years had just tried to murder her, and now he was giving her orders. Even though she disagreed with his methods at times, the respect she had for him was now gone.

On top of this, Haru was in his SSJ2 state and the lightning coruscated around him ominously.

Was it wise to attack someone who could finish you in one hit?

In any case, he had just saved her life. Zangya couldn't bring herself to attack, or even move.

Haru looked back at her with an intimidating glare, then back at Bojack.

Bojack then charged forward with two spheres of energy surrounding his hands.

Haru charged up a Kamehameha and the two collided.

An explosion of light and energy followed after, blowing Zangya several meters away.

A few seconds later, Bojack screamed and disintegrated, and Haru appeared on the other side of him.

The smoke cleared, and the only one's left were Haru and Zangya.

At the time Haru didn't much like her either. Helping someone as bad as Bojack made her not much better to him. However, he figured without the influence of someone as evil as Bojack, how dangerous could she be?

In any case. He had a tournament to finish.

He turned to her, still in his SSJ2 states. Lightning crackling around his aura.

"Say something." Haru commanded. He was much fiercer when transformed.

"... I..." Zangya couldn't speak because she didn't know what to say. The events that had just transpired were so fast and yet so life changing.

Haru looked up to see a pod to the next fight. Piccolo, Trunks and Vegeta had all regained consciousness and he knew they would likely be unfriendly towards Zangya, given the calamity her crew just brought on that day.

"If you want to stay alive, I suggest you leave this place and suppress your energy. As long as you stay out of trouble, you'll be alright." said Haru. His tone gradually became warmer and he reverted back to his base form.

"Why are you letting me go?" asked Zangya whilst standing up.

"Well, to be honest, I think you're kind of cute. But I also felt that you aren't as bad as your crew was." Haru answered. He tried to give her a reassuring smile, but earlier he had just killed Bojack without any real effort. So he was still somewhat intimidating. It was like talking to someone bipolar.

Zangya didn't trust him. Or at least not completely. Her former boss who she fought along side for many years just tried to murder her in cold blood. Haru was a complete stranger, and yet so merciful in contrast to all she had seen throughout her travels in the galaxy.

Was he lying to get her to lower her guard.

She cautiously rose in the air, looking back just to be sure, then sped off in some direction.

Haru had to get Krillin, to a hospital, and he also needed to win the prize money because he wasn't living with Chichi anymore.

Piccolo understood Haru's dilemma, and so took the others to a hospital as soon as he could.

The sky had been cloudy until this point. But the sun began to come out.

Haru was lucky in that the tournament and pods could still commence. The judges decided that since he had survived until the end, he deserved his shot at the Grand Prize against Hercule.

When Haru arrived at the main stadium for his final match with Hercule, it was here that he threw the former Champion out of the ring to collect that years biggest prize yet.

Zangya landed in Hercule City on top of one of the buildings. The sky was grey and she felt empty.

Following orders with her brother (Kogu) and crew was all she knew. She sat at the ledge and watched the cars below.

Starting any trouble now would surely get her killed. If not by Haru, then by Vegeta or Trunks.

"What… what do I do now?" she asked forlornly.

Where would she stay? How would she get along? Stealing might be risky if any of the other Z-fighters sense her.

She leaped off the building and gradually levitated down to the sidewalk.

The people down didn't really seem to notice.

Earth was the most beautiful planet in the North Galaxy. Without a ship, leaving wouldn't be a good idea anyway.

She put her hands behind her back and walked slowly down the street with a defeated expression.
