Chapter 3 - Pain & Arrogance

[Mark pov]

I stumble out of the bed after I awakened (?That feels weird to say?) in my body feeling so much weaker than I expected. Even before I… I was much stronger, even before I got my powers. This can't be right

I move towards what I can only assume is a bathroom, searching for a mirror. What reflects back is a shadow of my former self. Im just as tall as I was before but, I look like I've been starved for centuries. My skin sticks to my bones like a wet suit, my once decently muscular arms now atrophied and scrawny.

"I gotta find…" I only now realize I never got his name. 'Did I really just trust my life to someone I just met? What am I thinking?'

I get up and leave the room determined to find answers. Walking towards a door that open when press a button I find myself in a short corridor. In front of me is door that says 1, to my right is a door that says storage, and to my Left leads to that I can assume is the cockpit.

Before I can decide on where to go I hear crash from the door marked 1.

Deon woke up around the same time as mark in a similar state. His stomach growled in protest but non of that was of concern to him. His head pounded with an influx of new information, Briefly reminded of what Rob said {you did say all}.

His mind reel with the information, causing him rise onto his knees, The knowledge threatening to kill him before he even takes his first steps in the universe. Feeling the pressure Deon thinks 'I hav-'

just as soon as soon as he gets this idea the pain stops, as if it was a lie. The pressure release causing his body to relax and fall out the bed, and jolting him back to attention. He looks up to see Mark open the door to his room with a worried expression.

"You alright?"

Deon dust himself off "peachy" the sarcasm dripping off the word. "Getting knowledge put directly in your head is painful, remind me to never do that again."

"Damn it must have hurt, it turned your eyes red!" Mark said confused at how red his eyes are.

"Red? Hold on I have to see this." He says before getting up and trying to rush to the bathroom. "No fucking way!" Reflected back is a one tomoe sharingan before quickly reverting to his regular eye color.

"You okay?" Mark ask standing at bathroom door "you look starved."

"You're talking skull and bones?"

"Yeah yeah, talk after you find us some food." mark saying starting to leave the room

"Why me?"

"Cause you're the one who asked for this ship. While you're doing That I'm going to the cockpit, see if I can tell how far we are."

"Ai ai captain!" Replied Deon with a less than serious attitude.

Letting mark walk towards the cockpit Deon walks to the door marked storage. Inside he find a small well, storage room, with two outfits. One was a Saiyan armor, black full length turtle neck leotard, iconic Saiyan chest piece without the shoulder pads, black cargo pants, and dark red boots. There also little accessories and bits to add to really make the outfit my own.

The other side had mark clothes. His classic invincible getup without the head piece, there's also a Saiyan chest piece in his classic color to add on.

In the middle of the room stood a table with a box, containing God knows what, with a note in front of it.

(Had a little energy left over so here's something you might have forgotten)

'What could I have forgotten? No that's arrogant I can't think like that' Deon rebukes those thoughts knowing that arrogance without power is foolishness. 'Can't think like that yet, this Is a brand new universe where beings can erase a fucking planet with a thought. I'm far from strong enough to take on anything.'

Collecting himself he opens the box, inside are 4 items. 2 scouters and 2 jars, initially excited about the scouters. His excitement turns to elation when he realizes what's in the jar.

He slams the box shut, lifts it then runs to mark."WE STRUCK GOLD MARK!" He says sliding into the cockpit, bumping into mark who was standing in front of the door.

"What are you l-" Deon manages before he's stunned by the sight in front of him. Space.
