The scientist nodded. He figured the boy was anxious to see his room and perhaps catch some rest. It had been a long day after all, his entire life changed in a matter of days. He needed to get back to his research anyway, so there was only so much of his time he could dedicate to the boy. "Very well," he said. "AEVA will accompany you. I must get back to work now. If you need me, she will lead you back to me."
Without another moment to spare, AEVA would start walking towards the boy's room, expecting him to follow. Ivan and The Doctor would leave elsewhere...
During their walk, AEVA would continue to inform the young boy and elaborate on the protocols Ivan had mentioned previously. She stressed that it can be very easy to injure oneself if they entered the wrong places, at the wrong time, without proper equipment. Suddenly, the android stopped in the middle of a long white hall -everything was white. "Here we are," she said after a short pause in her lecture. A hatch opened in front of them, revealing his dormitory. Because they were not sure of the boy's interests, they refrained from decorating them room. In fact, it resembled Shun's old room quite well with the white color scheme; except this one actually had a window with a decent view of the city. In one corner of the room, next to the window, he had a medium sized bed with cleans sheets and pillows prepared for the young saiyan. There was a desktop on another corner just in front of his bed, newly fabricated just for him- along with all the other features of a room, such as a closet.
"Is it to your liking?" she inquired. "I will be accompanying you for the time being -until you become more familiar with your surroundings. If there is anything I can help you with, I'll be right here."
AEVA exited the room and stood beside the door, facing the adjacent wall. If uninterrupted, the door would then shut, leaving the young boy to himself to collect his thoughts and decide where he'd like to go from here.

The boy had let out a light yawn, rubbing his eyes and taking a nice long stretch. He then looked towards AEVA and back at Ivan, nodding and starts walking and tagging along with AEVA to his new room. his eyes continued to wander, while at the same time he would listen to what she had to say about the protocols, rules and regulations.
The soft sound of their shoes scuffing the floor filled the saiyan boys ears and with a slight huff, Shun clutched his sweater sleeves as they approached the room door. As the android suddenly stopped, Shun slightly bumps into her and jumps back, his cheeks were flushed a light red. As she tells him that they are there, his attention snaps to the room and looks in. There was actually a window! This was a very big and significant deal to Shun as he never had a window in his old room. Now he can also admire the beauty of the city. The boy looks back at AEVA as he goes to sit on his bed, "I-I love it... Thank you miss AEVA.." The boy says, not directly looking at her, because he is still shy. But he smiles as she walks out and shuts the door to his room.
Shun yawns and lays back in his bed and looks up at the ceiling. What a satisfying conclusion to a long and tiring day for Shun. It brought forth new friends, a sense of belonging and overcoming shyness for him. The boy sighed pleasurably as he slipped further into the soothing comforts of his new, fresh bed covers. His eyes gaze out of the window, looking towards the city, "I hope one day... someday... I can... change....." The boy slips into a warm slumber.

And so the first day of Shun's new life had reached its end. The following day Ivan and his team of researchers would begin preparing for the grand event which would bestow upon Shun the power he sought, the power he would give his very life to obtain. However, before such a big step could be taken, there were parameters the scientist had to determine. Shun would soon find himself into a domed white chamber similar to every other room he had been in; with that said, this was the training chamber. In that room, the boy's skills would be put to the test. The scientist would explain to the boy, "In order to enhance your power, we must gauge your current strength." Shun would be measured by height, weight, endurance, speed, leg strength, among many other statistics characteristic to his own being. After Ivan obtained the amount of data required for such a proceeding he would be primed for the procedure. Days, weeks passed, and each time the man would discover new things about the boy's body. -To their surprise, today was the day a certain being would arrive from his long journey.
Unbeknownst to all, the mysterious figure had already been pacing the tiles of the laboratory's courtyard. Entering the building, the man was scanned as accustomed and disinfected from the outside world. Meanwhile, Ivan and AEVA were in the control room, overseeing their experimentation with Shun. They had been testing the boy's jumping capacity. Shun would have numerous wires attached to his body, collecting invaluable data about his internal bodily functions. Unfortunately, the results were not that great, but that would not matter once the scientist was done with him. Ivan turned to the sound of a hatch opening behind him. His eyes widen, "Oh, you're back!"
AEVA speaks to Shun through an intercom, "Alright Shun, that is enough, come back inside. We have someone to introduce to you."
As soon as Shun left the training chamber and joined them in the control room, the boy would notice a stoic man among them. He was gilded in red armor and possessed long golden hair. His eyes were solemn, dark and straight. He wore a helmet which covered most of his face, and an emerald jewel emblazoned on his forehead. Ivan would introduce him, "Shun, I'd like you to meet Android Model Zero. He's my greatest invention thus far. He just returned from an important mission issued by our Lord, Prometheus Zex."

Breathing hard and feeling to a small degree dizzy, Shun groaned, fighting the urge to flop on the ground as he made his way to the building using what little strength he had left. "O-Okay, AEVA!" Came a low but determined voice from Shun. The saiyan boy's heart was beating so loud and hard in his chest, he felt like it was going to rip through his body. Even though this was only an evaluation, this was something of a huge chance for Shun to prove that he does have potential to be great, and although he did give it his all.. after a considerable length of time, the boy proved to be underwhelming and overall weak. But he felt like Ivan could still see the burning passion and determination in his eyes. Giving a small, nervous smile, Shun waved weakly at AEVA as he inched towards the door. This whole experience was quite grueling and taxing to the saiyan runt as he had never done anything so physically demanding that it is making him barely even able to walk. Every time Shun would take a step, the movement caused every single bone in his body to ache. But yet he still manages to crack a smile, even if it was a weak one.
Rounding the corner, An exhausted Shun joined with AEVA and an odd looking fellow. Shun's head whipped to the man in all red and a small gasp of shock spilled out of his mouth. The tired, scrawny young saiyan blinked very slowly and stared at Zero for a bit. His eyes widened a little and choked out a small "H-hi.." His nerves trying to get away from him now as he was not expecting anyone new. With a low moan, Shun slowly and carefully sat down on the floor, against the wall. Sighing, he leant his head back, looking up at Zero.
He brushes his unkempt hair out of his face as his eyes concentrate on how Zero looks, not making eye contact with him though.
"Y-You look cool... W-what was your mission?.." Shun asks, wiping the sweat off his brow.

The android studies the young boy. The first thing he noticed was the long prehensile tail characteristic to every saiyan. He even had the dark hair and pitch black eyes. "Hi," Zero responded dryly. His voice was not robotic like AEVA, his actually sounded like a young adult. By now, the android was questioning why there was a saiyan among them; after all, Ivan had created him for the sole purpose of their annihilation. Activating his built-in scouter, Zero scanned the boy's power-level. Insignificant, he concluded. He knew humans who were stronger than him. "Y-You look cool... W-what was your mission?.." Stumped with no clear hypothesis as to the saiyan's presence, the android gazed at his master with the same blank expression. Even AEVA seemed to demonstrate more emotion than the red android -and that's saying a lot considering she was physically incapable of making those complex gestures with her face. Ivan picked up on the meaning behind the android's gaze and explained.
"Shun here has been sent to me by a very important colleague, his mother, Pea. Many things have changed in New Vegeta and I have now been entrusted with Shun's safety. We will do everything we can to make him stronger!" Ivan winked at Shun and then faced Zero again with an earnest look in his face. "You remember Akassa Hattori, correct? I'm sure you remember, it was not so long ago that Lord Zex held the Intergalactic Tournament, where many warriors throughout the universe gathered to meet in battle -including her. She has now murdered her parents and claimed the crown to the saiyan throne. It's all over the news! Not only that... but she had unlocked a hidden power which has only been known through myth until now..."
"The Legendary Super Saiyan," Zero responded quickly. Ivan gasped. "How did you know?"
Zero glanced at the boy and then back to Ivan. "Back in Mement Mor, there was a saiyan, Conri Lane, Champion of the previous Intergalactic Tournament." "-With the blue hair?" "Yes, and Ninjin Hattori, former heir of the saiyan throne. They both achieved similar strength. It was because of them that we were able to defeat the Universal Church of One. Ninjin Hattori, however, sacrificed himself. He no longer lives."
"I see," Ivan said, scratching his chin as he assimilated all the information. He glanced at Shun, "Maybe you'll become a super saiyan one day..."
Zero stared at Ivan.
"What about that android? You know, the former cardinal who surrendered to you in Mement Mor?"
"She will join us in a few days."
"Excellent," the scientist grinned with greed. Yet another asset to his collection. "Say, you still haven't told us of your mission!"
"It was a success. Lord Zex sent me and Mr. William Watson to the late Mement Mor's sister planet, Belegost. Belegost is home to a race of technologically modified beings called Kinigo." "-Cyborgs," Ivan commented. "Due to the demise of their leader, Arpatiko the Hunter, their civilization had fallen to a state of anarchy. Factions emerged, people taking advantage of the public's confusion, attempting to establish their dominion. A civil war had begun. Mr. Watson and I helped disband them and free their people. The Omega Collective is now preparing for their greatest voyage yet. We will abandon Crixus-7 and set orbit around Belegost. The Kinigo will become citizens under Lord Zex's rule."

Shun finally catches his breath, his head still laying against the wall. He listens in on the conversation. He picked up 'Legendary Super Saiyan' That sounded ridiculous and just plain weird to the boy and he closes his eyes still listening and honing in on the conversation. He would think to himself "Maybe I can win that galactic tournament one day.. I-I could make mom extra proud..." Shun would be smiling with his eyes tightly shut, imagining himself on top of a huge pile of bodies of the conquered foes he would face in the tournament. Maybe one day that could be possible but shun knew that day would not come soon. what so ever. If he could not handle simple measly excersizes, what sense would it make to even hope to enter a tournament meant for warriors of high prestige. Yet the boy sat there, smiling wide with his eyes closed and his fists clenched.
"Maybe you'll become a super saiyan one day..."
The young saiyans eyes shot wide open at those words ringing in his ears, he looks up at Ivan with his mouth wide open, he does not know what a super saiyan is.. But it did sound appealing to him. He asked. "W-what is a super... saiyan..?" The boy giving Ivan and innocent look.

Ivan's eyes widened in regards to Zero's debriefing. His lips curled into a wide grin from ear to ear. "Marvelous!" He said. Aside from his scientific identity, Ivan was a fool for adventure. Change was the only constant, after all, and he embraced it. Naturally, he would miss looking up at Crixus-7 in the sky, but it didn't compare to the excitement that had just begun to overtake the scientist's body. Soon, their sky would change. Belegost would be the planet they orbit and citizens would be free to come and go. Adaptations to more efficient transportation between The Omega Collective and their new planet would become necessary and he would be the man to design them all!
Ivan's mind began to wonder, contemplating all the changes that would be taking place in the following months. The young Shun would then bring him back to the present as he inquired about the super saiyan. He stopped and looked at the boy for a moment, glanced at Zero, AEVA, then back to the boy. He was not sure whether he had made a good move in relating a super saiyan with the boy. The scientist wanted to discredit the saiyans. He wanted Shun to hate the saiyans, but perhaps this could still be used to his advantage. AEVA would begin, breaking the silence. "The ability to become a Super Saiyan was once considered to be nothing but a legend, as it had not been performed for over one-thousand years. It is not yet certain as to what exactly triggers this phenomenon but it has been stated that a Super Saiyan has achieved a level of power so overwhelming that it could only be maintained in a transformed state."
Ivan stepped in, "Their muscle mass increase, their golden hair defy the laws of gravity, and their eyes become teal." The scientist knew this because of Queen Akassa's intergalactic broadcast. The arrogant woman had demonstrated her new transformation to the entire universe, a tactic to dissuade all who'd oppose her. And then Zero witnessed it first-hand in Mement Mor, when two super saiyans had resurfaced through the depths of history. The scientist turned to face the android as he made a sudden comparison. "In fact, your resemblance to the legendary super saiyan is a bit uncanny, isn't it Zero?" He joked, though he did not lie. Nevermind his golden hair, but every time the android ascended to his Override state, the jewel on his forehead -as well as his eyes- would flash a surprisingly teal hue. Ivan had always ignored this small detail, but considering Zero also possessed saiyan genes from his previous life, it was something which he couldn't help but think about. It was ironic really!
Model Zero narrowed his eyes. "Oho!" The scientist jumped, "was that a glare!?" He cackled. The android's attempt at demonstrating contempt. Zero glanced at the young saiyan boy one last time before turning his back on the group. "Where are you going?"
"Forgive me master, but I must not waste anymore time. I will resume my training immediately. If I am to defeat a super saiyan, then there is not a moment to waste."
With that said, the android would walk out of the room; unless stopped by another.

Shun jumps up and grabs at Zero's arm, "C-can I train with you?..." His voice was no longer calm and soft, like it had been before and the boy looks up at the android with determination in his eyes. Shun really did not know why he asked but I guess after the intense training day felt like he was up to par. Shun's hands shook and his arms trembled as he looked up, his eyes raised to meet the back of zero's head. Shun gulped and softly huffs, keeping his eyes fixed on zero. He really felt as if he was ready to train but in reality the boy was still weak and a runt. He realized what he had just did... How dare the little runt would stop the great and powerful android! Zero could end Shun with just a sneeze. The thought crashed through his mind like a giant rock tossed in a lake. Shuns hand starts quivering as he grasped Zero's forearm. A small sound emitted from the saiyan boy's mouth, a somewhat small trembling squeak. "S-Sorry mister Zero! I really want to get stronger! as fast as I-I can.." Shun yanks his little hand away from the android and managed to scramble back as much as he could, looking away from zero. Shun clears his throat, nervously scratching his neck and managed to get out in a hoarse, shaky tone, "P-please.." Shun's new goal now would be to train and achieve Super Saiyan but he knew he would be overstepping his boundaries and he has only been with Ivan for a day now. "One day.." Shun's tone was now soft and weak, almost...sad. Shun eyes scan the room, looking back at Ivan and AEVA. "Tha-thump...tha-thump...tha-thump…tha-thump…" Shuns heart went in rapid pace.

Model Zero was making his way out of the room when he detected a tug on his arm which impeded him from moving forward. Ivan's eyes widened, alarmed by the act. "Shun," AEVA said. The android turned his head, to meet the source of his delay in the eye. The young saiyan boy known as Shun gripped his arm and asked to train with him. His eyes were focused with clear determination, but his hands were trembling with weakness. The boy was clearly exhausted from the evaluations, yet he intended to keep up with the android's extensive training. Suddenly, the boy began to quiver and apologized, releasing the android's hand and squirming to the end of the room. Time's like these AEVA wished the boy could see behind her stale gaze. Her face was like Zero's, but the meaning behind them were far different. AEVA was an Artificial Intelligence program, so she liked to think that she was capable of feelings such as compassion and understanding. Zero however, his cold gaze was as true as they come. He was not moved by the boy's humble plead. He still couldn't understand why Ivan would keep an enemy within their walls, but he had no place in questioning his master's actions. Zero glanced at the boy, then Ivan, AEVA, and back at the boy.
"You're too weak," he concluded. His voice sounded much more human than AEVA's, but the words were that of a callous machine with no heart. Without another word the red android exit the room.
AEVA kneeled next to Shun in an attempt to comfort the boy, "What you did was brave, Shun, but you're not ready yet."
"That is correct," Ivan stepped in. "One day," he repeated. "-But not today. You must follow my instruction, become stronger. If you can do that, I guarantee that you will one day walk side by side with Model Zero, with your chin held up high."

Shun let out a sigh and covered his face with both hands. He felt like a complete and utter buffoon! Thinking he could somehow square up with the likes of Zero! The boy was getting too ahead of himself as he thought one day of intense training would make him a very powerful and formidable Saiyan. No. Not yet at least, the boy had so much to learn and surely if or when he does make it to the zenith of his potential, he will always remember this moment and will feel a complete sense of embarrassment if it were ever to be brought up again. The young saiyans face turned apple red and underneath his hands he was frowning, it was too embarrassing for him to handle. He wasn’t going to lie to himself though, Shun knew for a fact that he would have undoubtedly got his head knocked off if he attempted to train with Zero in his current weak state. Shun was pulled from his thoughts when AEVA kneeled next to him. The boy then turned and glanced up at AEVA, his face was so red that he looked like Ivan. The boy quickly wraps his arms around and hugs AEVA, tucking his face into her shoulder, hiding it. Involuntarily flinching for no reason as he tightened the hug. What a mess..
"Y-Your hair smells really nice today, miss AEVA!!!" Shun exclaimed loudly, for what reason he would say that... well, there was no reason. 'Guess its just him trying to get rid of the awkwardness.
As AEVA told Shun that what he did was brave, He stopped acting up and raised his head, looking past her shoulder and at Ivan. His face was no longer red.
Shun clears his throat, "I-I will try my best.. I promise I won't overstep my boundaries! It was a mistake!" Shun steps back from AEVA, releasing her from the hug.

The mechanical woman remained still as the saiyan boy embraced her so suddenly and buried his face in his shoulder. Having a completely metallic body, she wondered whether the boy had injured himself in doing so. Regardless, she had been caught by surprise. She couldn't really understand or describe what she had been experiencing in the moment, but -if she could- AEVA would have smiled. In all sincerity, she must have felt happy, it was the only explanation. She must have felt happy because Shun had been the first being, artificial or not, to ever willingly embrace her. He was perhaps the first to seek comfort through her despite her cold makeup. She must have felt happy, for that was the first compliment she had ever received from -anyone-. For that sole reason, the mechanical woman was grateful to the young boy. Her shock-stricken arms came back to life and gently curled around the boy as best she could -careful not to hurt him with her rough features. Shun would then step away from her, a fire about his eyes as he looked at them. She and Ivan could tell he was determined. The boy may have been shy and fearful at times, but Ivan knew he had an iron will and indomitable heart. He knew it from the moment he mustered up all the courage in his tiny body, back in the restaurant, when their eyes locked.
And so days passed by and Shun never saw the red android again. Perhaps he might have caught glimpses of Model Zero just before he left the laboratory to dole out his training regimen, but that was the extent of their interaction. Zero had been undergoing special training with King Arctic and Lord Zex, in person. For the two greatest leaders of The Omega Collective to take time out of their day to personally meet and guide the android, it was the highest honor. He had also been receiving instructions from Vespasian, the Arena Master -At least until he was replaced. A woman by the name of Delashano had arrived to the Gamma Slums and opened a new institution in place of the gladiator's barbaric arena. She named it the Mystic and Martial Arts Academy, where Zero was taking part in very specific training.
Word soon got out that The Omega Collective would be moving to a new location. Just as Zero foretold, Crixus-7 would be abandoned and the entire population would soon find themselves orbiting Planet Belegost. Not only that, but it had also been revealed that the Gamma Slums would also be left behind. Delashano among a few other volunteers were involved in making sure those who lived in the Gamma Slums would find temporary shelter homes in Alpha Prime and Beta Minor. Actually, only the physical Gamma Slums had been abandoned, the hollowed-out asteroid left as an empty carcass of the past. The Gamma Slums would actually be relocated within Planet Belegost upon arrival. Many things were twisting and changing in the word. As Ivan would say, "Change is the only constant in the universe." Ona, the former cardinal of the Universal Church of One, the android who surrendered to Zero during the War of Mor joined them soon after. At last, the fateful day had surmised, where Shun would undergo his transformation. Ivan had been very careful in measuring the boy through every possible angle, whether his physical stature or ability to better determine the proper 'fix'. However, the scientist was slumped with work and was forced to delegate the ever so invigorating task to Ona.
The scientist had led young Shun into a room with Ona and AEVA in tow. Before them, steam hissed as the hatch of a chamber slid open. Ivan looked at the boy. "Shun, it's time. You have worked very hard these past weeks and I am truly proud of your hard work and dedication. This is the day we have been preparing for, the day your life will change forever. The day you will no longer be looked down upon as a weak outcast. You were born a saiyan, but that does not mean you have to accept it. Shun, you will reach heights no other being will ever grasp."
Ivan, AEVA, and Ona all stood around the chamber, waiting for the boy to lay down so it may all begin.

As Shun stood before the chamber, it took a moment for the saiyan boy to gather himself. He blinked once and stared in a small daze. Then he came to her senses, licking his lips. and after a silent minute, Shun spoke in a clear voice. "I can do this. I know I can." He looks to AEVA and Ivan. "Ivan, AEVA.. I dont think I can truly thank you enough for taking me in and teaching me about having courage and staying true to my cause. I feel as if my goals are different now.. Not only do I want to protect my mother and my rabbit back home but.. I want to become better and stronger to protect you all.. for you have given me a family and comfort that I have never known." Shun clears his throat and cracks a smile. "You have my word as a Saiyan," Shun said solemnly. It was a completely serious vow to Shun - he took what he was about to say to heart. "Ivan, AEVA, I promise, on my new life and strength, that I will make you truly proud and not fail on the trials ahead. Also.. It doesn't matter how powerful I become.. I will do whatever you need of me so I could help to advance your science and work. All you need to do is ask, and will be on it."
Shun quickly turned his head at Ona and nods. "Im ready."
Shun then lays down in the chamber, a hard expression on his face. The boy looked at the walls that made up the room. 'This is for you mom. All of this is for you.' The young boy though, staring at the walls. The boy was so ready that he started to buckle himself onto the table, "Uhh... How do I do this?" He asks as he tried to buckle himself in.

Just as the boy climbed into the chamber and laid down, the scientist would stand right next to him. "You don't have to do absolutely nothing," he explained. "Just relax, it will all be over before you know it."Ivan attached a mask over the boy's face, which covered his nose and mouth. Pressing on a button, a crystal glass cover would slide over the chamber, sealing young Shun. Moments after, a green fluid would flood into the chamber, engulfing the saiyan boy. The mask would allow him to breath, but it was also feeding him anesthetic gases which would instantly make the boy feel tired and drowsy. In no time at all, young Shun would fall into a deep slumber within the chamber, no longer aware of his own existence until the fateful day of his reawakening. The scientist would wonder what dreams or adventures the boy would experience within the confines of his mind. He grew excited, anticipating the day when the boy would finally awaken to his new found power. Would he be the same sweet little boy as before? Or would he morph into a ruthless being? Only time would tell. Next time, New Beginnings... [Zeni ]
