Waves lapped against the sandy shore of a small island. The land, completely surrounded by the vast ocean was no more than a few miles across. Near the shore was a two story house, built in the style of a cozy cabin. Standing outside on the beach, an elderly man sat on a beach chair, a magazine in his hands. Various photographs of beautiful scantily clad women covered the pages, posing in aluring ways. A content smile crossed his face as his eyes scanned over the women. Not far from him, the warm breeze blew a small measure of sand over him, irritating his eye. When he brushed the debris from his reddening eye, he glanced out at the sea. How long had it been now since he had visited West City? Hundreds of miles across that body of water was a large thriving city, full of exotic beauties just waiting to be wooed off their dainty feet.

Ah, but, young ladies had no interest in an aged old man like him. The thought made his heart sink. Curse the ravages of time. All these years of near solitude were almost enough to drive a man mad. Fortunately, the occasional visits were enough to keep him sane. Getting supplies and news of the outside world was always wonderful. Of course, getting to see his only living relative was also a pleasure. The next visit wasn't for another day, but, he couldn't help but feel that something was coming. His own little paradise would soon be pervaded by strangers. His intuitive nature was seldom wrong, and the nightmares he'd been having lately were akin to ill omens and deathly premonitions.

"Oh, dear. I wonder. Just what is it that the future brings? Something wicked no doubt. Hopefully not too soon. I only just got this month's issue of "Bayside's Busty Beauties." I can't afford to get distracted until I finish it."

A dreamy grin formed as he sank back into his chair, glancing at the magazine in his hands before closing it, letting it drop to the sand below.

A young boy had set out on a journey to find the greatest martial arts expert in the known world. The boy was just 14 years old, but he left his home to find this master. The boy was named Tekkan at least thats what he believed his real name was, and on earth that was his real name. This boy was different than the rest of the people that lived on earth. The reason Tekkan was different was because well, he wasn't from this planet. No Tekkan was not born on the planet Earth, he was born on planet Vegeta. He was what was knows throughout the universe as a Saiyan. People on Earth had no idea about Saiyans because well two reasons. One was that the Saiyans so far had decided to not come down and totally destroy and or conquer the planet. Reason two was that for as many great advancements the Earth had, getting to far away planets was not really one of them yet. Tekkan's name that was given to him by his birth parents back on planet Vegeta is Raza. His parents were middle class warriors on the planet. They were not the royal elite, but they also were not the lowest of the classes like most Saiyans were. They were both proud and strong warriors. They were sent on many missions and had always come back the victors, except for one time. They were sent to conquer a planet and they failed. They returned to planet Vegeta as failures. The king was not happy and decided he needed to show his people the consequences of a failed mission. He decided to send them into exile. Shortly before they were sent of this mission, Raza had just been born. When they were being sent into exile, they were able to get Raza off of planet Vegeta and decided to send him somewhere they thought he would be safe. They sent him to earth. Where he was found by the Okanao's and was raised as their son. Thus how he got his earth name as Tekkan.

Tekkan from an early age showed great strength and fighting technique. His earth father, having been a martial artist himself and having competed in the World Martial Arts Tournament, started training him when he was young. Through the years Tekkan grew much stronger then most people and was soon too strong for his earth father. He was sent to find the greatest martial arts master in the world.

Tekkan reached the coast and grabbed a pill, he threw it into the water and a boat popped out of it. His family was not poor, but they were not overly rich either. Luckily they were able to afford a few capsule corp pills. One of the pills being this boat. Tekkan hopped on and sailed off to find the master. Word was that he was living out on a island in the middle of the ocean. The journey was a long and treacherous one, but finally Tekkan came upon a small island in the middle of the ocean with a house built on it. Tekkan smiled as he believed he finally found the place he was looking for. He pulled up to the island and landed ashore. He hopped off the boat and put it back into its pill. He turned and walked over towards the elderly man. Tekkan bowed to the man before he spoke. "Are you the famous Master Renshu?"

It was finally time. Daisun had eagerly awaited this day that he could finally now go off and take the next step in his path of martial arts. He got a letter about a year ago from his father listing the details of his own personal journey up until now. The stories held within the letter sparked his interest to step out into the world more so than when he was a child. His mother of course, was a bit reluctant to see him leave home, but made the promise of allowing him to go once he reached the age of 16 like she did. Now with a year of power training so as to not look like a disappointment Daisun began his journey to find a certain master in particular.

His father detailed meeting the man in his letter by accident during a training session of swimming across leagues of water. He stopped at the island to find a new piece of wood to rest upon after his last one unfortunately broke. That was when he met the strange host of the island who seemed to have made a home there. His words recounted on how enjoyable social interaction was for the both of them and it was just what he needed to keep him stable until his new stop at land. He caught his name only in passing and later realized that he had spoken to the very man that bested him in a couple of semi-final tournaments. His final advice was to seek out the man as his own master as he had a hunch that his growth would excell more there then under his mother's style.

With that piece of advice it decided the path that Daisun needed to take. Finding Master Renshu was obviously his number 1 priority as well as requesting his tutelage upon arrival. It was certainly a hard road because of his father's rather simplistic directions but his determination saw him through. His next big hurdle was the large water expanse lying in front of him that served as the gateway towards the direction of the island. He didn't have enough money to buy a capsule for a boat so he did the only idea that came to his mind....strip and swim.

Basil puched the tree like he always do as part of his training regimes. He would punch the same tree over and over until it breaks and move to another ones before building his stamina up by climbing the mountain up and down. As day by day passes, Basil started to feel stronger and fit at the same time but he's unsatisfied. He knew that training on the mountain wouldn't make him a lot more stronger than he currently is. He went back to his home and begun to asked his father, "Father, if you go back to my age and do martial art again, what's the first thing would you do to get stronger?" Basil's father was in the middle of drinking coffee and stunned as Basil asked the question. He put down the coffee unto the table and told Basil, "A master... I would find a master." Basil smirked as he looked at his father, "then I guess I have to find a master then!" before Basil got a chance to leave, his father called him, "wait! I know 1 person that could help you." Basil's father took out an old envelope with a weird insignia in it, "take this letter with you, it contains a map that leads to a great martial artist. Don't know if he still in there but you never know."

Basil took the letter with a worried face, he knew that this could only be one thing, he would leave this house and went to the small island alone. Basil's father gave Basil a nod, indicating that soon it's Basil time to write his own adventure. Basil gave his parent one great big hug before preparing for his adventure. Basil took only things that he needed, his father's gi, ration for 3 days, and his everyday clothings. As left the house, Basil's mother talked to her husband, "so you finally decided to give the offer to him?"

"Yes... it's been 25 years after all, it's better than never..."

After a long 2 days of walking, Basil finally reached to the shore. There, he saw a guy battling his way through the heavy tides in front of him. Basil sparks an interest on the guy, he loves the guy's fighting spirit so he submerge himself down to the sea as well, following that guy's direction.
