*Booom!* Energy erupted from Marcel hitting the field. The others shot off quickly. A good quarter-mile away, watching what went on. As the energy waves left Marcel, it wasn't long before the containment field shattered.
A few of the locals kept watch on the situation. The energy readings were off the charts. The good news, the jamming signal deployed before left things hard to read. Marcel could not hope to contain the energy like before. Knowing that it was a complete waste of time, he let it all go. The test would finish with him living thanks to the item used.
*Boooooom!* Uncontained, the energy traveled even furthur. The item just made sure Marcel would live through the process. It didnt make it painless or fast. It just made sure he would keep restoring. If he stopped or in other words aborted, then he would die.
"Raaaaaaaaahhh!" A mouth beam fired up into the air heading into space. His body wracked in pain as it started bursting apart. It then reformed in a split second before collapsing then bursting again. "Ahhhh!" Marcel punched the ground in frustration. To get his mind off things, he looked at his log. Nothing appeared. No boosts or titles could be earned from this way. 'Should have known it wouldn't be this easy.'
*Seperate!* From the punch to the ground, a cracked formed and shot across the way.
The pain was unbearable but he would remember this for a long time. Never to try something at such a low level. No matter how crazy the benefits may be. As he rolled around in pain, the thought of using some of the water past his mind. But that was declined. No benefits could be gained at this time.
"Soo, I think we can cut him some slack since he helped us gain this much power." Bardock said. His hand was on the back of Fasha as he transferred the new energy over. "What do you all think?"
"Sure." Shugesh said. The others nodding instead of talking. "I am ready to go to another World. From what the Operator said, it is one just to crush the inhabitants to make it ours. Well, a portion of it anyway."
"I am ready to go as well." Tora gripped his hands tightly. "We need more power to be able to stop Frieza and his kin. What do we do about this planet?"
"Nothing. Right now, Frieza knows we are here. The more we wait the more it looks like we had trouble. But the scouters jammed is not giving us any favors." Bardock said moving his hands away. "The bugs are tampered with, so has that been taken care of? Once he finishes we can.."
"The jammer will be turned off in a week actually." Daiz said. "Just watch what you say when contacting others. Your crew is fine, but it will still transmit when others contact you."
"We have to be smart about this." Lakesie said. "The plans can work better with help. And with a little more prep, we can defintely deal with it."
*Kaaaabboooom!!!* A wave of energy hit them all who were so far away. Baring down onto the ground proves to be the best option. Instead of flying into the wind. But it was finally over.
"His hair is so funky." Fasha held back her laughter. "But it suits him I guess. Maybe you should dye yours the same way Bardock?" Looking at the others, they were thinking the same thing.
"Hell no." Bardock was happy they looked less alike.
Marcel's hair was still black but it had changed to white as the energy swirled around him. Containing the Divine ki, it then turned back black. His tail hair doing the same thing.
System: Dark Saiyan God State obtained. Richer ki damage. Immune to disease, resistance to harmful magic, increased cognitive abilities. Body cannot sustain for more than several seconds. No boost awarded do to All Survive Patch.
"Wheew!" Marcel exhaled and picked up the remaining pieces of the containment field. Not much of it survived. The others flew over. "Sup?" The good news he switched his clothes out quickly.
"Turles, how do you feel?" Bardock asked.
"Meh, sore in a way. Let me show you the 3rd thing." Marcel stored the pieces away. "It is all about timing. If characteristics are close, then it will last longer." He showed them the fusion dance and the rules of it. Going over it several times till it was committed to memory. They thought it was goofy but still wanted to try it. Fasha was the most upset since no female was around to try it out here. "Just try it with Gine in safety."
"Yeah, I guess. But she does not like fighting." Fasha thought about the few other women she could get to try it. A look of mischief passed over her. 'She will definitely do it!'
"Hey, why don't you two try it?" Daiz pointed to Bardock and Marcel. "You fit the criteria a lot." The two shugged and did the dance.
"Fuuuu.." they moved about carefully. "..siooon.." arms out and "..ha!"
*Wooom!* An energy wave pulsed outward. The fusion was successful but lasted only two minutes. The energy of the two swirled in a fashion in that little time. Bardock received and Marcel, he relieved a better history of the Saiyans as well as fighting Data.
*Poof!* Black smoke seperated the two.
"That was a weird experience." Bardock mumbled.
"Yeah." Marcel didnt find it to odd considering he already did something to that extent before. "I can feel some of your memories linger."
"The same. You have a team with a spaceship. Why isn't it here?" Bardock didnt get to dig that deep. Due to the pain of the energy absorption still lingering. 'Something was inside him. Something dark. Marcel has seen more bodies than Turles and myself. What the hell is a Mortician Force?'
"It went to get some tech with the rest of my crew." Marcel, explained how dangerous Cooler's army was. They talked some before making camp.
.
Few days Later-
.
"Haaa.. that experience was something else. I even felt my sense of self disappear during it." Marcel was in a tent by himself. Across from him, a Human Dark Saibman sparred with him. Completely made from his energy that he had at the time. Right now, he was fighting with his body and using magic slots to supplement him. "Tsk!" The creature packed a brutal power.
*Thump!* 50 struck back with a powerful jab. Creating something stronger than himself was a bad idea. If he couldn't control it. The good news, it had no problem obeying him. The chance for independence and being different from it's brethren was more than enough.
With a leg sweep, Marcel tripped 50 up. 50 spun in the air delivering an elbow strike to his extended leg. It fought using bursts of energy for quick attacks. Connecting, it shattered Marcel's leg. But it did not stop its assault.
"Grr!"With a quick push of his hands, Marcel recovered. Fist met leg separating the two. "Ughh." Landing on the leg was dumb but no choice. Flying was marked off to get use to environments where it was unwise to do so. "Enhance!" Expending a few spell slots to empower himself, Marcel jumped back into the fray.
*Swirl!* Black light circled around his arms and legs.
*Boom!! The impact was enough to push on the containment field. Despite the fresh upgrade to it.
"Increasing Power Marcel. We have passed the previous mark." 50 said as a warning. As per the rules, he would increase the amount of energy released. "Power at 75,000. Must last more than 4 minutes to improve."
"No Shit!" Marcel barked back. The good news, the Replicators repaired his leg enough for it to be used. "I am not losing like this!" Marcel's tail snapped behind freely. Expending his last spell slot he charged in for an assault.
*Bam!* 50 delivered a blow to his left temple. Rearing back a little, Marcel delivered a knee strike to his enemy's stomach. Taking the blow, 50 delivered a head butt. With a grab, a series of knee strikes to his guts. Marcel felt as if his guts were getting push through his back. Each strike echoing through his modified bones. A side effect of having the tech mixed in. To sturdy.

Disoriented, Marcel was wide up open. A dual chop was delivered to his shoulders. His collar bone broke on both sides next. Stomping down, Marcel did a simple one two. His left hitting 50 in the jaw. His right connecting with his turned face.
Health -41
*Crrk!* The Marcel's blow was to light, his shoulder took to much damage and became worse from the strike. Bones extending out of his flesh. The replicators went to work as fast as possible, but not fast enough.
*Bam!* 50 delivered a high kick, the blow sent Marcel flying through the containment field.
Health -62
Landing on the ground like a sorry mess, Marcel pushed himself to get up. Eyes blurry breath ragged. Turning to the side, he spat up blood. A look of anger passed in his eyes. Weak was not something he enjoyed.
"If this is all you have, you will not survive the operation." 50 floated forward. Injuries already healing. "Marcel, a lesser regent may be needed. Rushing will not help."
"Ha.. ha.. I know. But, I rather but the effort now and enjoy myself later." Forcing himself to fight, the magic drained from out of him. "Haaaa!" Exhaling was all he could do. 'Well shit, out of energy out of magic.'
"Then do not faint." 50 rushed forward delivering blow after blow. A vortex started to form as 50 brought Marcel into a blender of blows. Speed so intense that Marcel felt cuts anytime 50's clothes brushed pass him. 'He has developed a small sense and is guarding his heart. Not good enough.'
*Boom!* 50 delivered a full force punch to marcel's solar plexus. Arm blasting right through his guard.

"Fuck...that.." Marcel was done physically. With a thought, the last of the current tree water was used. "That.. is.. it." The training was over. Slowly his fleshed started regenerating. The old stuff was all used up. "Good work."
"Of course." 50 removed his fist. "Increased time by 2 minutes. You are improving nicely. But the mental damage, may not be wise."
"Yeah, well no pain no game." Feeling the revival of his body, was enough for now. "No way we are taking on that Frieza guy. Plan A is defintely what we will have to do. Gotta span the usage of the fruit." Out of his inventory, Marcel took out some of the Fruit from the Tree of Life from Avatar. It would be the first time he had the chance to consume one. As well as suckle on the Divine Leaf. "Down the hatch."
System: Dense Muscultare + Further Beyond activated. +2 All stats Divine Ki increased by 10. Fruit from the Tree of Might (Avatar) increases Divine ki by 5. Subsequent uses only by 1 Faster recovery of ki.
System: Divine Leaf: Increase the speed of metamorphosis. Mental fatigue recovery is faster. Can be brewed into a tea.
Zi: I believe this is the best that can be done right now. However the return trip to Planet Plant/Vegeta I will be able to send you somewhere else. But it is a place for your magic to develop really. Your body still needs to be pushed further to used the energy more effictively.
"That is fine." Marcel excused 50 to go to his own tasks. Which was grabbing corpse's of of the other forces of Frieza that died. As well as any Kanassan. The others were training and discussing matters for the last few days. "Time for some new gear again." The Manifestation ability was turning into the most used thing of late. With all the training, it saved on spending points.
Zi: Spending your points on those bombs was the correct choice after all. With that warp drive added to the ship, the others should make it Planet Plant to apply the bombs to Frieza's ship. And the stealth technology is defintely a way to do some damage without getting caught.
"Yup. Then we can apply the rest of the tech togethor. The Big Gette components are doing well with the Replicator technology. The regeneration ability will be nice and allow me to fight more and train more. So many places to go and do things." Marcel looked over the readings on the screen for a bit, Happy, he dismissed it. "Make sure on A.I. develops. I do not want any issue from it."
Zi: Of course.
Bardock was heading his way with Shugesh. The two had finished sparring and most likely had troubling news of their own. Stopping, Marcel was proven right.
The Kanassans did not leave them alone for long. While they were scavenging parts a scout unit came. Peaceful talks died down quick. Tora told them to back off and head away. It was for their own good and it was best if they moved somewhere else entirely. Like a new planet. They refused and attacked.
System: Deal with the Kanassans. Planet Kanassa must not be destroyed. User may destroy them to take the technology, or convince them to leave. Doing so will send them to the War Front. Rewards: Vary Failure: Frieza's Elite Force will arrive.
'Pftt, his Elite Force is not stronger than us. So that is not a problem if we fail.' Marcel racked his head from side to side. 'Then again, sending them to the War Front will help things. And that tech.'
"So, what are we doing?" Bardock asked.
"Gonna talk to them. Peacefully. If things go bad.. wipe them out." Walking forward, they headed towards the others. One benefit he found from the Divine Leaf, was that it allowed him to control his energy better overall. "Chew on these, will help improve control."
"Well, ok. Gonna give some to the others?" Bardock handed one to Shugesh. Both chewing one like Marcel was. "Not bad at all."
"Nah, you will. I rather not get in another argument with Fasha. I swear she keeps treating me like Turles. Not my fault what he did to her when you all were younger." Marcel lamented.
"Hehe, but you still look a good bit like him. I mean the dark hair and disposition is not enough." Shugesh laughed. He thought it was funny. "Maybe master that state and have the white hair all the time."
