《'Daikon' Ball》Chapter 2 - Learning through doing

Advertisement

I’m not sure what happened after I hit that woman, everything went dark and quiet. I had finally stopped moving but I was now inside a dark abyss. I tried moving, I tried doing all kinds of things but none of them worked. I would have had a panic attack or hyperventilated but I couldn’t even do that. After my panicking had settled down I passed out for an unknown amount of time, waking up intermittently until I was finally awoken properly by a force that was pulling me before passing through a tight hole.

I didn’t get a chance to take in my surroundings as I was soon placed into a tank of sorts and surrounded by liquid and I quickly passed out once more. But I did manage the people asking for a name and hearing Alea in response.

Once more I slept waking intermittently each time I did I saw a woman standing before me. She was very beautiful in a powerful sense, she wouldn’t be considered a model but in the heat of battle I would imagine her to be comparable to the likes of a battle maiden or even a valkyrie. She had brown shaggy hair that reached down to her shoulders, a stern face, blue eyes and stood about 160 cm tall. Each time she came by she showed few emotions on her face. Kept looking at me as if trying to figure something out, but never seemed to find the answer.

I was eventually released from the tank, to find out that I was a baby and that the woman who kept visiting me was my mother. She took me out of the building I assumed was the hospital to her home. It was quite spartan nothing fun around, no tv or computer. But there were weights and the sorts around, she must enjoy working out.

Anyway she went about taking care of me, feeding me changing me. She wasn’t overly warm towards me, just gave the bare minimum of attention to make sure I don’t die. So I set about changing that by crying when she wouldn’t hold me. At first she was uncomfortable with it but it soon became second nature and she would be the one to seek me out and even sleeping with me.

Though this life was short lived as soon after she took me to a daycare with other children, but soon came back looking spooked. She took me out and soon ran off to another building where there was a pod that looked somewhat similar to me, then placed me inside it and closed it then went behind a terminal and before I knew it I was hurtling into the sky and back into space once more but this time I had a body and could move somewhat but once again I slowly lost consciousness.

---

The pod that Alea occupied flew off into space toward an unknown world, narrowly escaping destruction alongside everyone else. It passed by multiple planets till finally crashing upon a world with three moons orbiting it in a staggered manner, meaning there would always be a moon above the horizon.

When the pod crashed it was noticed by the village Parcer, home to diminutive yellow aliens called Kanma, they are relatively advanced race, although they have not achieved space travel or advanced healthcare like regrowing limbs, they have managed hovering vehicles and laser based weapons. They built their homes out of durable lightweight materials, often building in round shapes.

Naturally the inhabitants went to investigate the disturbance. They quickly realised that the pod was a man made construction and grew wary, luckily they had brought some hunting rifles with them. As they approached the pod opened up releasing a hiss of air. The Kanma tensed up and armed their weapons ready to fire at a moment’s notice. But when they saw the small naked alien inside they didn’t know what to think.

It was obviously a newborn, but it was an alien. The normal thing would be to take care of a baby, but what if it was like a Randon, a native bird that would lay its eggs in other birds nest and leave them to raise it, only to be eaten by the baby when it was big enough. This was their problem, there was some muttering between them but they eventually decided to take the baby and see how it turned out.

As they were returning to their village the baby woke up and began looking around it surroundings, but its gaze eventually stopped upon the second moon Arva. it was transfixed by the view in fact.

The baby began growling and then growing hair all over its body and even slowly growing in size. The one carrying it put it down and moved back, the others raised their guns ready to shoot in case of attack. But they waited to long and allowed the baby to grow to much, for when one of them fired it didn’t do more than singe the growing babies fur. At which point they began to run.

Soon enough the baby had grown into a giant ape standing over eight metres in height and bulging with muscles. It let out a ferocious roar and bounded towards the village where it heard noise coming from. Upon reaching the village it saw the numerous little Kanma running around carrying things, though when they noticed the giant ape they screamed and made to escape.

This only lead to the giant ape attacking. It swung out its arms and smashed a vehicle with people inside blowing it up. What followed was a chaotic destruction where the giant ape would attack the people and destroy the buildings with its fists and legs, reveling in the destruction like a child at play. It would even eat a few of the Kanma like they were grapes.

When it finished destroying the village and killing its inhabitants, it chased after the ones that managed to escape, leaving craters in the road as it bounded after its prey. This marked the beginning of three long years of destruction, where the giant ape went around restlessly chasing after the Kanma as they ran and hid. The military unable to put up a fight they had injured it on numerous occasions, puncturing holes into its body, but no matter what they did they just couldn’t kill the monster.

It never appeared to sleep either, hunting the Kanma day and night, to unleash its wrath upon them. The only thing the leaders could be thankful for was that it only inflicted small scale damage needing a few days to destroy a town and over two weeks to destroy a city. The Kanma eventually adopted the tactic of retreating and living under ground.

By the end of the three years the giant ape had destroyed over 38 cities, 148 towns and villages and 12 shelter cities; and killing over 135,000,000 Kanmans, a third of their population. The Rester continent had been ravaged by the beast and left uninhabited.

“Oh god what the hell happened and where on earth am?” A small girl spoke after waking up naked, sprawled over the ground. She was about four years old, had a brown furry tail growing out of her lower back, spiky brown hair that reached down to her shoulders and blue eyes.

“Ugh last thing I remember is being put in a pod by mother, then flying off. Goodness all this passing out is a really pain in the arse.” She made a slow attempt to get up, her tail coming in handy.

“Haa let’s see now, I’m in a cave. Great that’s not ominous at all.” she began walking around trying to find a wall to follow.

“I don’t remember being this big last time, for that matter I couldn’t even walk. Oh God I’ve got a tail! AH!” The girl said as she inspected herself and then grabbed her tail before collapsing to the ground weak.

“Oh man that’s awful, won’t be doing that anytime soon. So let’s run through the list shall we, I’ve been reborn into another body belonging to a race of technologically advanced beings similar in appearance to humans, they’re all muscular and I’ve got a tail…”

“OH MY GOD I’M A SAIYAN, AHHHHH I’M SO EXCITED. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH DYING AND TURNING INTO A GIRL FOR HAHAHA!” The girl screamed at the top of her lungs whilst rolling around on the floor in glee, completely forgetting where she was.

“I can’t wait to fly.” She then proceeded to scrunch up her face and jump up and down on the spot and throwing her arms up into the air. But she eventually stopped dropping her arms down.

“Agh dammit, of course it isn’t going to be so easy. Think Alea think, what did Gohan say about flying?” The girl once more scrunched her eyes and brought a fist to her forehead and began to think. It was 15 minutes later that a gust was expelled from her in all directions, then ever so slowly she began to rise.

Opening her eyes she looked down at her feet just to confirm it with her eyes, then without warning tilted forwards and slammed face first into the ground.

“Oww stupid gravity. I get that I'm adorable now but that doesn't mean you're allowed to try and steal a kiss.” She got up rubbing her face preparing to try again, arms by her side fists clenched.

Her body shakily floated into the air as she tried to find her centre of gravity, after a little bit she began floating around vertically and slowly transitioned to a horizontal form flying around the cavern, before landing gracefully.

“Woo that was good, a little tiring but good. Now it's time to try shooting off ki blasts.” With a wicked grin upon her face, unsuitable for someone so young, she once more began to concentrate. With her arms in front of her she cupped her hands and tried to will her ki towards them.

Soon enough a small dot of blue ki formed between her hands, unstable but powerful. In an instant she pushed her hands out, shooting the bead of ki into the opposite wall. The cavern shook from the explosion as debris flew around, bouncing off of Alea.

“I.AM.AWESOME!!” Alea cried out with her hands in the air. The jubilant moment was called to an end by her growling stomach though.

“I've got to get out of here and find me some food.” Saying as such she followed one of the walls and kept walking at a steady pace with her tail swishing behind her.

It was an hour later when she made it to the entrance of the cave and it was massive, you could fit three double decker buses through with ease. She looked out and saw a forest before her with some freshly toppled trees creating a trail. The night sky was cloudy blocking out the stars. She stepped forward compelled by her instincts to go out and hunt. Breaking into a run she hopped from tree to tree like a monkey, concentrating on her hearing for the slightest rustle of leaves or animal call.

She eventually reached a clearing where she saw something similar to hog milling around marking the trees. With little hesitation she leaped down smashing her first into its head killing it instantly. It was at this point though that she realised she didn't know what to do next.

Left only to guess she pulled off one of its hind legs with ease, then began to cook it with an energy blast. Once it was smoking she stopped, gave it a tentative look gulped and bit into it to find it wasn't revolting. As she was eating though she felt a pull from above and looked to see two moons up above her.

“Oh cra…” She started but fell to the ground gritting her teeth as her body slowly shifted back into its great ape form. Just like the first time the great ape let out a mighty roar, only this time instead of walking it floated in the air with ease and flew off towards the horizon in search of worthy prey.
