A bit over a year had passed as Azure was training trying to become as strong as he could. He was in a gravity chamber as he was moving in 250 Times Earths gravity seeming to start slowing down.

Shonen: You done already?

Azure: Damnit...

Willing himself back into the form he became a Super Saiyan going even faster punching test dummies into pieces. From the outside Erica Krillin and Yamcha could see the light shining and felt the immense energy the gave off.

Yamcha: Intense...

Krillin: M-Man, so that's the energy of a Super Saiyan up close huh?

Erica: Yeah, Azure even scares me when he does that sometimes.

Right on cue the lights stopped as Azure came out of the gravity chamber sweating still in Super Saiyan.

Azure: Tch, not good enough. For all the strength I've gained Ryu's probably two steps ahead of me as I speak training on that planet.

Krillin: A-Azure?

Azure: Krillin I know I'm in Super Saiyan but you can still talk to me.

He sighed in relief.

Krillin: Phew, that's a relief! Every time I think about you Saiyan's transforming my mind just shoots back to when Goku went berserk as an ape.

Azure: Well, no need to worry.

He went back to base form.

Azure: So, Vegeta back yet?

They all jumped to the balcony as Bulma Tights and even Tarble was there.

Tarble: He actually just got back. He's in the shower as we speak.

Erica: You look like you've gotten used to life on Earth Tarble.

Tarble: The peace isn't all that bad. I was getting bored of fighting weak opponents day in and day out.

Vegeta: EARTH WOMAN, WHERE'S MY ARMOR?!

Bulma: It's in the laundry getting a much needed wash!!

Vegeta: YOU'RE WASHING IT?!!

Erica: Bulma it loses it's elasticity when you do that!!

Bulma: What?!

Tarble: -_- Ever heard of dry clean only?

Bulma: Why didn't you tell me?!

Azure/Erica/Tarble: We did!

Yamcha: Okay this IS pretty neat.

Vegeta: Is that the beta male?

Tights: No it was Yamcha. So technically lower.

Yamcha: Oh come on-

Vegeta: Oh God they're breeding! The only thing I hate more than weaklings is the color pink!

Epic karma in-

Vegeta: AHHHHHHH!!!!

Erica: You gave him the Bad Man shirt didn't you?

Bulma: Oh, maybe.

Azure: You are horrible but hilarious.

Vegeta came out absolutely embarrassed to be seen wearing a pink shirt with yellow pants.

Vegeta: Grr, I look like a flower...!

Azure: This reminds me of the time I had to wear a pink suit.

Tights: ... You what?

Erica: It's a story for another time.

Azure: Anyway I doubt the two idiots are gonna be gone much longer.

Vegeta: And how would you know?

Azure: I've been best friends with him since we were kids, it's not difficult to know his next move.

Vegeta: Well if they aren't here yet, then I demand you fight me Azure! Show me your Super Saiyan powers!!

Azure: Yeah, not interested.

Vegeta: Wha- Why not?!

Azure: If I went Super Saiyan against you, there'd be no point in the fight at all.

He looked at Vegeta with a serious expression before walking past him.

Azure: The truth is no one on earth is a match for me right now. You aren't any different.

Hearing this angered Vegeta as he turned and was about to grab Azure but felt a hand grab him. He saw it was Tarble who seemed annoyed as well.

Tarble: It infuriates me to admit it but he's right. Even without Super Saiyan Azure's abilities far exceed anyone's right now.

Vegeta: Grr...

Krillin: If that's the case then why does the guy seem so unsatisfied right now.

Erica: *Sigh* Guys, he doesn't mean to come off as cocky. Right now Azure is sort of... Stuck.

Yamcha: Stuck?

Erica: Do any of you guys know why he fights?

They were about to answer but stopped. Everyone except Bulma.

Bulma: Well, he obviously does it to protect the people he loves right?

Erica: Nope. It's a small part, but according to Azure, that's way to shallow to be it for him.

Vegeta: So? What's the reason have to do with this?

Erica: Azure fights because he wants to become the strongest version of himself he can be. Sure he loves his friends and family but that's not the entire reason he does what he does. He wants to be satisfied with himself in everything he does. A long time ago he met someone that changed him forever. Someone he knew he couldn't beat in a no holds barred battle, and someone that was always so much stronger than he ever imagined a person could be. A kind of wall even.

Soon everyone aside from Bulma and Yamcha and Puar began to understand.

Yamcha: Uhh guys, mind shedding a little bit of light here?

Krillin: Let me guess, that wall is named Ryu.

Erica: Whenever Azure thought he could take the leap to pass Ryu, there he was always farther ahead. To Azure, Ryu is his goal. He wants to surpass him more than anyone else in this Universe. He feels like that's how he can finally start becoming even more powerful and keep surpassing the him from yesterday.

Bulma: Woah...

Tights: I-I never thought that...

Tarble: He's more grounded than any of us.

Azure was in the bathroom showering and cleaning the sweat off of him.

Azure: 'One day. I'm gonna catch up and surpass you for good Ryu.'

TIME SKIP!!

While in the top of the capsule corp building Azure was deep in thought.

Azure: Hm... What were those powers I sensed recently? They all kinda sensed familiar but I couldn't exactly recognize them. What's weirder is that they vanished instantly.

Shonen: I feel like something is going to happen in the near future. Something we may never be ready for.

Azure: Well, just gives me another reason to get stronger.

Azure laid back against the roof before his eyes shot wide open sensing three powerful yet familiar Ki's.

Azure: The hell?!

He focused a bit before realizing his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

Azure: Damnit Ryu, I thought you finished what they started!

He got up before flying away in the direction he sensed the energies. Right behind him Erica Tarble Vegeta and Yamcha followed.

Azure: Stay back, you guys aren't gonna be able to keep up in this fight!!

Erica: Not gonna happen!!

Tarble: You're substantially more powerful but you're insane if you think that we'll sit around and let you fight those monsters alone!!

Azure: Tch, fine you can watch! Just don't interfere got it?! I'm more than powerful enough to defeat them on my own now!!

They continued flying as they stopped once they landed on a mountain.

Azure: I'm gonna fly in. NONE OF YOU follow me by flight understand?!

He flew in close as soon Gohan and Krillin landed.

Gohan: Was that Azure?!

Krillin: Please don't tell me he's going in on his own!

Erica: *Sigh* Krillin, I don't like admitting this but Azure has all of us outclassed at the moment. The minute we try and follow Frieza and Cooler along with their father with shoot us down. We've just gotta fold our hands and let him take care of things. Or at least hope Ryu and Goku get back.

Over them a ship entered the atmosphere. Piccolo who was there alerted the others.

Piccolo: THEY'RE HERE!!!!

They saw that the ship flew over them as on the ground Azure patiently waited with his arms crossed.

Azure: That's right, come to your deaths.

After landed soldiers ran out of the ship. Soon three figures came off as Frieza and Cooler were two, but they both seemed to have become Cyborgs.

Cooler: Hmm. Well if it isn't Azure.

Frieza: What? We're the other monkeys too busy?

???: Is this one of the Saiyan's who maimed you so horribly my sons?

KING COLD!!

Cooler: No father, but he is that other Super Saiyan.

Azure: You shouldn't have come here. I don't know why Ryu let you live but I know he wouldn't let you once he sensed you were on this planet. Like me.

Frieza: Hahaha!! Oh this I'd like to see! The coward who ran thinks he can best us?!

Azure: I had my reasons. But now you won't be saved.

He clenched his fist ready to transform. However two other energies arrived as each of the soldiers were cut apart.

Azure: O_O

They saw the sources of this were people who seemed to just just in there teens. Azure however was able to recognize one.

Azure: You're Trunks...

TRUNKS BRIEFS!!

He looked back at Azure slightly smiling.

Trunks: So, you really did know.

Azure: Yeah, but who's that one?

The second person there was a girl that had a white streak in her hair.

???: That can be explained after this.

Cooler: Alright, you have our attention. Why exactly are you here?

Trunks: To kill your three. What else?

Cooler: *Snicker* You're joking, right? You expect me to believe two earthlings will defeat any of us?!

???: No not defeat. Try something stronger. Like annihilate.

Azure was trying to figure out the parents of the girl knowing she was part Saiyan.

Azure: 'There energies aren't too far apart, so maybe she's...'

Frieza: Alright I suppose another two toys to pass the time with couldn't hurt.

Trunks: Toys huh? Alright. You and me.

Frieza: Very well. The first move is yours.

Trunks: Fine by me.

Trunks clenched his fist as his power began to rise. This shocked Azure more than anyone at the amount of power he was pushing out.

Azure: C-Crazy!

Trunks: HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

The ground shook as both Cooler and Frieza seemed to start having PTSD. His hair raised and eyes began to turn turquoise before the final step happened and his hair became a golden blonde.

Azure: Yup, that's a Super Saiyan.

Frieza I-It's the eyes...

Images of all three Super Saiyan's filled Frieza's mind. Just the image of Azure in Super Saiyan was enough to give him a heart attack while Cooler froze in shock.

Trunks: You said the first move was mine right?

Frieza: I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU!!!

Frieza fired a Ki Blast at Trunks as the halfbreed grabbed the sword on his back gripping it entering a stance.

Trunks: 'Water Breathing, First Form.'

Water seemingly surrounded the blade as he sliced the blast clean in half horrifying the Tyrant.

Trunks: 'Water Surface Slash!!'

There was an explosion from behind as Trunks sheathed his sword.

Trunks: You might wanna try a little harder than that.

Cold: So this is a Super Saiyan Eh?

Cooler: ENOUGH!!!

Cooler flew into the air creating a massive ball of energy.

Cooler: I WILL NOT ALLOW ANOTHER ONE OF YOU TO EXIST ANY LONGER!!!!

Cold: COOLER STOP!!! YOU'VE DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!

Cooler: HE SAID TRY HARDER!!! GOKU AND RYU WILL BE KILLED BY US IN SPACE!!!!

He threw the growing Supernova down as seeing this the mystery girl crossed her arms smiling.

???: I won't even need to draw my blade to handle that.

She clenched her fist as her power began to rise as she was even stronger than Trunks.

Azure: Her too?

???: HAAAAA!!!

Her hair spiked up as the ground bellow her cracked. Everyone had gotten in close sensing the immense power at the battle field.

Gohan: DOWN THERE!!

They all looked to see that Trunks was there in Super Saiyan form but the girl as well began to transform.

Vegeta: OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!!!!

The girls hair went blonde as she looked at the ball while it came down closer. Frieza jumped away on top of the ship with Cold as Cooler dropped as well.

Frieza: Hmph, serves them right.

They stopped once they realized the blast wasn't going further down, but actually rising. The girl was lifting it with a single hand yawning.

Cooler: WHAT?!!!

???: That all you got? Here, let me get rid of this.

She snapped her fingers as the attack began to glow before dispersing.

Cooler: OH YOU LITTLE-

They realized that they were all gone as Azure was in the air.

Azure: Who the hell is she?

The girl and Trunks were on a cliff as the latter shot a Ki Blast which they narrowly dodged.

Frieza: FOOL!! YOU MISSED BY A-

Frieza looked up and saw Trunks coming down with his sword.

Trunks: 'Third Form: Flowing Dance!!'

Frieza didn't realize what was going on before Trunks went right past him. In just a moment he felt a searing pain all over as he began to split into pieces. That's when he blew the rest of Frieza away with a single Ki Blast.

Cooler: IMPOSSIBLE!!

???: You've got more to worry about.

Cooler looked back and saw the girl throwing a punch into his stomach that actually went through it. This gave him EVEN MORE PTSD remembering what Ryu did to him.

???: Don't ever come back to this planet.

She pulled her hand out putting it in front of Cooler's face.

???: Star Crush.

A yellow and green blast fired out of her hand completely erasing Cooler.

Trunks: Together?

???: Wouldn't have it any other way.

They looked at King Cold before both appearing in front of him raising a hand.

Trunks/???: Die!

They both fired a combined Ki Blast erasing the last Frost Demon as well. They both returned to base form.

Azure: Those moves...

Azure saw how Trunks moved and remembered Ryu had done things similar.

Azure: You.

Trunks: What up?

Azure: You've been trained by Ryu in the Future haven't you?

???: That's a pretty complicated subject. We technically have learned from him.

Azure: 'What's going on?'
