Demon of Earth
Chapter 1: Secrets and Training.
Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu. The four most powerful humans on the planet. Each had fought alongside or against the Saiyan known as Kakarot, or Goku as he goes by now. Each all stood upon Kami's lookout waiting for Kami himself to train them. The reason for their training was so that they could prepare for the impending threat of the Saiyans.
Krillin was a short, bald man standing at a height of 5'0 and had six dots on his forehead. He wore and orange Gi top and pants with the Turtle style symbol on his left breast. Underneath was a blue undershirt with a blue sash tied around his waist.
Yamcha was a man of average height standing at 6'0 with long, wild hair that was pulled into a low point tail and on his left cheek was a star like scar. He too like Krillin wore and organise Gi with the turtle symbol on his left breast, unlike Krillin however he did not wear an undershirt.
Tien was another man of average height standing at 6'2 with a bald head and a third eye which lies in the centre of his forehead. His outfit consists of a green Hanfu robe with loose green pants and yellow boots.
Chiaotzu was the final member of the little group and was also the smallest standing at 4'6 with pale skin and red cheeks. He wore the Crane school uniform which consisted of a green jumper and a big crane insignia in the middle, he too, like Tien had yellow boots, however he also wore a black cap.
The sound of footsteps and wood hitting tiled floor made them look to the origination. Their stood three figures all walking towards them. In the centre was an elderly man with slug-like characteristics, including antennae, light green skin, and pink patches. His skin was wrinkles due to old age and wore a white robe with a blue collar. In his right hand he also carried a wooden staff. All four of them easily recognised him as Kami, the Guardian of Earth.
To his right walked a small fat man with pitch black skin. He wore a typical Indian style outfit, with a patterned jacket, turban, pointed shoes, baggy white pants and a red sash tied around his waist. From what they remembered of Goku's description this was Mr Popo, Kami's assistant of sorts.
Finally, to Kami's left walked a young boy no older than five years old. His hair was a bright shade of golden yellow, shining blue eyes and three whisker marks on each cheek. He wore a black hoodie and Gi pants with a blood red Sachs tied around his waist.
"Welcome Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, Chiaotzu to the Lookout." Kami said after a few moments of silence. "I am to assume that by your arrival, you have agreed to train under me in order to get stronger to fight the Saiyans, yes?"
"Yes Kami." The four chorused. Kami nodded his head and began saying something to the young boy beside him. The boy seemed to ponder something but nodding his head.
"Right then. To fully understand what I need to teach you, I need to gauge your abilities in combat. Naruto here will fight each of you in single combat. Under no circumstances are you to hold back." Kami paused allowing them to digest the information.
"But Kami he's just a kid." Yamcha spoke up after a few moments. Krillin nodded his head and Chiaotzu said nothing, but you could see that he agreed with Yamcha. Tien however, he observed Naruto with a calculating gaze. He could feel it the power the boy possessed.
'How is it possible for someone so young to possess such power. Not even Goku was this strong at his age!' He thought in shock before a smirk crossed his features. A smirk which Naruto returned. "It will be honour to fight you Naruto."
"Likewise." Naruto returned. Chiaotzu saw the smirk on Tien's face and knew stanly that there was more to the boy than meets the eye.
"Come on Tien you can't be serious." Krillin exclaimed in disbelief that his friend would go along with it.
"Sense his energy Krillin, Yamcha. It is much greater than any of ours." Chiaotzu said in his high-pitched voice.
"Enough chit chat. Yamcha you will fight Naruto first." Kami said. Hesitantly Yamcha stepped forwards while the others stepped to the side. "Begin." Neither of the two moved as both stared at the other.
"Look kid I really don't want to hu-argh!" Quicker than Yamcha could see, Naruto had crossed the distance between them and buried his fist deeply into the mans stomach. With a shout of pain Yamcha skidded backwards. Naruto followed quickly with two fists to the Yamcha's stomach forcing him up off the ground with each punch. Going with the momentum of the last punch Naruto jumped into the air and launched a roundhouse kick to his face sending him shooting to the left.
'How?!' Yamcha thought in shock before his body finally came to a stop.

Since the start of the fight Krillin, Chiaotzu and Tien had been unable to stop their jaws from falling open in shock. Here a boy no older than five was fighting and beating one of the strongest fighters on Earth with ease. Yamcha hadn't even been able to create a proper defence under the unrelenting assault of Naruto. Not only that, but Naruto was moving at speeds they had not fought possible.
Krillin cringed when Yamcha was hit with a powerful overhead haymaker that sent him spiralling to the ground.
"He is powerful is he not?" Mr Popo's voice sounded from behind them making them jump in shock.
"How, none of us have even come close to the power he has and yet he is so young?" Asked Tien when he finally gained his bearings.
"Naruto is a unique case. He was found in a room here, Kami rescued him and raised him. Taught him how to fight. In all my years of service on the Lookout I have never seen someone with as much raw potential for fighting as Naruto possesses. Even Goku's potential pales in comparison to Naruto's." Mr Popo said calmly his eyes never leaving the form of the floating Naruto. All the while the three humans swallowed the information given to them.
-X- Line Break -X-
Yamcha groaned in pain while shakily getting to his feet. His eyes moved upwards and stared at Naruto who was floating in the air. Once on his feet Yamcha removed his weights and began preparing himself for the oncoming assault. Yet it never came. Naruto just still floated their his arms by his side and his eyes boring into his own.
Grinding his teeth Yamcha cupped his hands together and spread his feet apart. "KAME." Still Naruto did not tense or prepare himself at all. "HAME." Naruto raised his hands and a thin coating of red energy covered his hand. "HAAA!" A large beam of blue energy shot towards Naruto, who simply raised his right hand a little higher.
Just as it was about to hit him Naruto backhanded the Kamehameha wave to the side like it was a bug.
Yamcha watched in shock as the beam was knocked to the side and rendered useless. His form was covered in sweat and a few bruises while his breath became laboured.
Naruto shot forwards intent on ending the fight, but had to leap to the side when a second Kamehameha wave hit the area he once was. Turning in the direction in which it came from he saw Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin charging towards him. Grinning Naruto ignored Yamcha and shot towards the three incoming warriors.
He blocked a punch from Tien and slammed his fist into the mans face before spinning round and planting his foot into Chiaotzu's stomach. Both stumbled backwards allowing Naruto to shot forth multiple energy blasts in their direction. Krillin quickly intercepted them with well placed energy blasts of his own which knocked them off course.
Appearing behind Naruto Krillin attacked with a roundhouse kick, however his foot went through air as Naruto flipped over it. Kicking off the ground Naruto slammed an elbow into the monks face making him stumble back. Not letting his advantage go Naruto followed up with multiple quick and precise strikes which forced Krillin further and further back.
"Dodon Ray!" Tien and Chiaotzu fired the signature technique of the crane school straight at Naruto. Spinning round Naruto showed both of them that in his right hand was a ball of dark purple energy.
"Demon Wave!" A beam of purple energy shot forth from his hand and went to intercept the two Dodon Ray's. Just as they were about to hit Naruto called out, "Split!" The Demon Wave split apart into five smaller beams of purple energy and curved round the seven beams of energy closed in on their targets. The Dodon Ray's on Naruto, two Demon Wave's on Chiaotzu and three on Tien. All struck true and an explosion surrounded the three fighters.
Yamcha and Krillin watched this and waited with laboured breath as the smoke began clearing.
Chiaotzu was the first to be revealed as he fell to the ground unconscious. Tien was next his form bleeding and battered from the energy attack. Naruto was next and beside from his clothes been slightly torn and a few scratches he looked unharmed.
"Damn I thought we had him." Yamcha cursed under his breath. Krillin nodded his head in agreement.
Before the fight could resume Kami tapped his wooden cane into the ground. Instantly the four conscious warriors turned to the elderly guardian. "That is enough for today. I have seen what I need. If you would follow Mr Popo he shall show you to where you will be staying of the remainder of your time on the Lookout."

Three months. That's how long had passed since the four humans had fought Naruto. Since then the five warriors had trained rigorously each reaching new heights in power the likes of which they had not thought possible. However along with this new power, had come arrogance. They had all believed that they were ready and had not being putting a hundred percent effort into their training.
It was for this reason Mr Popo lead the five warriors down the hallways of the Lookout. Coming to a stop outside a door Mr Popo turned to the five warriors behind him.
"This is the Pendulum Room. Me and Kami have both noticed that none of you are training as hard as possible. For that reason you will fight against the Saiyans." Mr Popo said.
"But how?" Asked Tien.
"The Pendulum Room creates illusions of an event and you can fight an image of a person with all its power." Naruto explained. "Kami explained it to me once when I stumbled across it by accident." He said sheepishly getting a grin out of Krillin. In the three months the four earthlings had become friends with Naruto. He loved to mess around and have fun, but he had unhealthy obsession with fighting strong opponents. To the point he would actively seek out fights just to test himself.
Mr Popo nodded his head in agreement with Naruto's explanation before he opened the door. The room itself was large, but incredibly dark.
"Move to the centre of the room and be ready for some slight discomfort." The five warriors moved forward as told and stood huddled round in the centre. All they saw was a glowing green star surrounding them before they appeared in large expanse of rubble.
In the distance they could see smoke rising into the air blocking out the sun.
"This is awesome." Yamcha exclaimed in excitement. The others nodded dumbly in agreement. Naruto quickly snapped out of his trance when he felt to powerful signatures moving towards them. Looking to the wall to his left he watched as it began bulging outwards.
"Chiaotzu move!" Naruto shouted, but it was too late. A hand burst from the wall and gripped Chiaotzu's head. The wall crumbled down later revealing two Saiyans. One was short only just bigger than Krillin with the top of his head been bald, but long black hair falling down his back. Next to him stood a man around the same height as Yamcha with a hairstyle to match said man. Also he had multiple scars running along his face. Both wore a Saiyan outfit similar to the one Raditz wore.
"Tien!" Chiaotzu shouted in shock.
"Chiaotzu!" Both Saiyans let out a laugh.
"Well, well, well look what we have here." The taller one said.
"A bunch of weaklings waiting to die." The shorter one continued.
"You better let go of him Shorty or I'm going to kill you." Tien threatened, his voice low and edged with malice.
"What you going to do about it Three-eyes and my names Brocco not Shorty." The now named Brocco snapped.
"Stop messing with them Brocco and kill them." The tall one said.
"Alright, alright Pumpkin." The four warriors tensed when they felt Brocco build up energy. However, to their horror he fired it on Chiaotzu who instantly went limp. With a chuckle the short one throw him into the air, Naruto quickly followed after his friends falling body. However a ki blast struck him in the head and knocked him out of the sky. Neither Tien, Yamcha or Krillin noticed as rage fouled their beings.
"You monster." Tien out his hands together forming a triangle energy built up around him, but before he could release it a ball of ki slammed into his hands and flung him backwards. The energy he had built up adding to the force.
Flipping in the air Tien shot forwards and went to strike the taller Saiyan however the alien dodged them all easily before back handing him into the shorter Saiyan. Quickly using this advantage Brocco punched Tien in the back before raising his hand and blocking a roundhouse kick.
Before Tien could continue a muscular arm wrapped around his neck and began strangling him.
"Tien!" Krillin and Yamcha shouted in shock.
"Bastards. Eat this, Spirit Ball!" Small balls of energy travelled into Yamcha's outstretched hand forming a basketball sized ball of pure energy. Thrusting his hand forward the ball of energy flow towards the two Saiyans and Tien. Two fingers pointed upwards and the ball copied the movements and just missed the top of Tien's head. With a roar he pointed his hand down and the ball did the same.
Tien as soon as he saw the ball flying upwards slammed his head into Brocco's face and jumped forwards just in time to avoid the explosion that occurred as a result of Yamcha's attack.
"Do you think we got them." Krillin asked before a fist impacted against the side of his face launching him into the air. Pumpkin appeared above him and performed a overhead haymaker and sent Krillin through a small hole in the ground.
"Krillin!" Quickly the two charged up their energy and created their signature techniques.
"Multiform!" Two copies of Tien sprouted from his body and a third copy sprouted from the first copy. These four and Yamcha charged up their signature techniques. "Tri-Beam HA/Extra Large Spirit Ball!" A bigger version of Yamcha's spirit ball burst from Yamcha's hand and flew towards the Saiyans while a triangle beam of energy burst from the hands of The Tien's.
The resulting explosion rocked the very ground itself and caused a large cloud of smoke to obscure their vision. The copies of Tien's appeared back into Tien as he dropped to the ground along with Yamcha. Both panting heavily from the exertion of the attack.
"Do you think we got them?" Asked Tien.
"I hope we did as I have hardly any energy left." Before the two could say anything else multiple small triangles of energy burst from the explosion and pierced their bodies.
Just as they closed their eyes they felt Naruto's energy explode around him.
-X- Line Break -X-
Naruto could feel it. His friends energies disappearing. First it was Chiaotzu's, then Krillin's, then it was Yamcha's and Tien's all the while he couldn't move. The energy blast had caught him unawares and had managed to damage his brains ability to control his body. And so he laid there, the feeling of helplessness as his friends died one by one.
Inside him a reservoir of rage built up threatening to overspill. The tipping point had been when Tien and Yamcha had died. With a roar rage filled his being and power burst from his body. Instantly his body rose into the air as a fire like aura of red and purple energy burst up around him. His hair became more wild and resembled fur. His eyes changed from the clear sky blue to a crimson red with a reptilian pupil and his nails lengthened to claws.
Slowly the energy dissipated and he stared at the Saiyans with malice and mouth pulled back in a scowl showing his elongated canines.
"Hey Pumpkin are you getting a reading on his power." Asked Brocco a thin shine of sweat on his forehead. But it wasn't from the amount of power, no it was the potency. They could practically feel the hatred and desire for death. Theirs!
"Yea it's two thousand, six hundred." Pumpkin replied. "We can still take him. He's nothing compared to the Saiyan race." He boasted before he shot forwards. There was no twitch, no sign that he had moved. He just appeared in front of Brocco faster than he could see. Brocco only just managed to catch the sight of Pumpkin's severed head falling to the ground followed by his headless body before a ball of swirling purple energy was placed in front of his face.
"Demon Wave!" It was barely a whisper but Brocco heard it clearly. From Naruto's hand a beam of purple energy shot forth and swallowed Brocco's body whole. It continued some miles more before slowly decreasing in size. When it was completely gone nothing remained of Brocco.
Naruto simply stood their his body stiff and his arm outstretched before his features returned to normal. Slowly his body rocked backwards and forwards before collapsing to the ground as unconsciousness claimed him.
-X- Line Break -X-
Ever since that day the five warriors had trained more vigorously. Pushing their bodies further and further. Breaking barrier after barrier that was presented to them. The thought of been powerless against low-class Saiyans had struck a nerve inside the humans. Naruto however had scarcely been seen. Instead spending his time meditating trying to gain better control of his new transformation.
Kami moved down the corridor and came to a stop outside of Naruto's room. Slowly opening it up he saw Naruto hovering above his body. His new transformation in play as his breathing came out even and steady. Five weeks he had been locked up in his room, only coming out to eat or go to the bathroom before returning to meditating and gaining control over his emotions.
For not did this transformation come great power, but also rage and animalistic feelings that threatened to consume. Since then he had tried to regain control of his emotions and become master of his mind once again.
"Naruto." Kami spoke up. Said person did not answer for a few moments before he dropped to the bed and opened his crimson eyes.
"Yes?"
"Come, I have something to show you." For a few moments they walked in silence the only sound coming from their footsteps and Kami's staff hitting the ground before they came to a stop outside of a large door much like the Pendulum room. "Past this door is a place called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the same place where me and Popo found you."
"You mean-"
"Yes Naruto, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is where you were created."
