Chapter 1
Making Memories
The area was far more populated than expected. The empires goons had begun to pick over the city, allowing people to come and go as they pleased. Many returned to gather their things, but it seemed as few chose to stay long. Blaze was going to be one of those.
the city had been reduced to a slum. People bickered in the streets over what was theirs, and fights were common. But the city didn't concern Blaze at all... he was headed for Kold Palace. And it was at the top of the hill in front of him. He looked up a long flight of stairs. "Yeaaah... no." he said, breaking into flight and soaring up the slope and came smashing through the Palace doors. "Second time I did that." he mumbled, recalling his first landing on Kold.
He had left Namekin search of knowledge about himself, and went to Kold. His landing was horrible, he tore the doors all to hell and flopped out of his pod right in front of Touketsuki Yakedo. And he somehow didn't kill Blaze. But that didn't matter now, he was dead. And he died doing nothing to help anyone but himself. That pissed Blaze off royally.
He walked into the throne room. Brought back memories. It was where Suki shot down Blaze's idea of gaining the people's support rather than making them fear him. Blaze hust shook his head, walking across the room and past the Throne. He made his way through the palace and down some halls to the Tech wing where he aimed to go. After checking some of the rooms, he managed to find the WTO Main Server room.
It was filed with SSE scientists trying to decrypt and use any data on it. All personal files had been wiped out, but there was other info that could be harvested. Blaze cracked his fingers. "Everybody... get out." he said loud and firm. They all looked up. One spoke after a moment. "Sir, this is a restricted are-"
Ki Blades were extended. "I'm not asking.Get out Now." he said again. They hesitated, but surely left one by one. Blaze let out a breath and turned to seal the main door. Solders would soon come.
Blaze went to the main terminal. He went to the WTO login and began to type his info... then stopped. He thought for a second, then backspaced.
User ID: T H U R M O S
Password: S L A T E
Processing......
Verifying.....
Welcome Back, Lord Thurmos.
Blaze was shocked. It worked... but now what? there was alot of files there. He thought for a second, and ran over to another computer. He turned it on and formatted the harddrive. Deleted everything. Then, without even turning it off, he shoved his hand through the Console's case and tore the Drive out, wiring and all. He started pulling the wire off and walked over tho the Central Server, opening it.
He stuck the Drive in, and wasn't long copying any files that looked important into it. He found schematics for upgraded armor, ideas for increased ship speed, experiment notes on Icer Mechanization, a Project "Genesis" witch was something about growing a planet into a thriving ecosystem in a year, and also a couple plans for WPD's. (Weapons of Planetary Destruction)
And then there was a picture folder. Blaze opened it.... and found what he wanted to see more than anything in his life...
That was them. That... is what they looked like. Blaze had his fathers colors, nut his mothers dome and eyes. Below it read; Thurmos and Shivera, Namek retreat. Namek. That's why he ended up with Carnel, he knew them.
Blaze fell back into a chair as it rolled slowly backwards. He rubbed both eyes... he was crying a little now. He didn't notice the smashing sound at the door until it came down. But the Solgers were not impressed with what they seen. Just a guy in a chair, sobbing over a photo.
He didn't look at them. He just said "That's... all I came here for. I'll... get out of the way now."
-------------------------------------------------
The Saiyans let Blaze go, the tears were convincing enough for them as re-assurance that he wasn't an enemy or some kind of terrorist. Blaze did manage to sign out and delete all of his Father's data though. He just told them he was taking the pictures. A lie, but who cares. Those files were the rightful property of Blaze, not the SSE.
Blaze made his way to an old gravity chamber in the training wing. Most were removed or powered down, but good ole Chamber 13 still stood. The one Blaze trained with Suki in. Walking in, he pulled the drive from the coat he wore and stuck it in the access unit for the chamber's settings. He turned the gravity up and sat in a meditative state. He was trying to slowly build his body up for the new setting.
Every once in a while, he'd peak to see one of the pictures on the screen, as he'd set it to slideshow. But there was something strange. One of the pictures that went by simply said "Simulation Record" and shuffled to the next pic of his father with Carnel when he was younger. The old man really was a badass looking Namekian back then.
But that wasn't his prime focus. Blaze waited a few minuets, and right after a picture of his mother with a giant Namekian fish, that text showed again. Blaze had to strain himself against the gravity, but he slowly stood up and took one slow step at a time over to the terminal. He hit back on the keys to the text again. Then..... he hit Enter.

Chapter 2
History of a Lost Planet
Blaze was transported into a simulation. And it wasn't a normal one... he became consumed by it. It began showing him all the things of the past... all the answers he wanted to hear...
-------------------------------------------------
Planet Acrosia.
Often confused with Planet Kold. Yet completely different. This was the original planet of the Acrosian race. A lush, green planet mostly, with a desert on the south pole's end and an arctic landscape over the north. The planet provided the means for any race to survive.
Governed by King Kold and Queen Ica for years while the rest of the universe was split among Frieza and Coola. But after King Kold's death in Year 764, Acrosia became unstable and Queen Ica was eventually run out of command. Government was replaced by clans of different Acrosians all trying to gain the upper on one another.
This outbreak of war turned Acrosia into a complete wasteland, where many Acrosians were slaughtered to the point of extinction. It was exactly nine hundred and sixty nine years later, in Year 1733 that a group of Acrosians calling themselves the "Icer" clan, after the original leaders of Cold names, left for a new planet. It was dubbed "Kold", after their long lost king, with a capital kingdom of "Ica".
It was thirteen years after "Icer" clan left that a black domed, red eyed Acrosian was born, Year 1746 with the name Thurmos. He had an incredible Power Level of over 50,000 nat birth alone, and quickly rose in power. In Year 1758, Thurmos had taken a bride, Shivera, and assumed full and undisputed control of Acrosia with an iron fist.
Thurmos ruled as harshly as his new rival, the new ruling Lord Yakedo of Planet Kold, but it was Shivera who brought peace and freedom to Acrosia by finally giving Thurmos something to be happy about. The planet became the better and safer of the two, and many came back from Kold to Acrosia.
in Year 1775, a massive force attacked the main capital of Acrosia. Nothing is known of the attackers other than their overwhelming numbers.
"Simulation Recording is ready to continue explanation with greater detail. Do you wish yo continue?"
He hesitated... "Yes." he said.

Chapter 3
Shadows of the Past
"Still, we ravaged the world we loved
And the millions cried out to be saved.
Its... Just another way to die."
Song: Hypnotica, by Two steps from Hell
The atmosphere filled with ships evacuating. Those still on ground level witnessed the red of the sky from excessive rocket fuel and the chaos around them. Some noted the black stream that tore through the sky at an incredible speed... the overwhelming power of a raging Acrosian who had just been fucked with.
His power radiated in the millions. And yet he still didn't feel fast enough. Below, countless invaders fired up at him, missing mostly, but the few that made their journey on-point slowly chiseled away at his energy. But he had a mission. He had to protect his wife. And... his child.
With a roar of rage that shook the ground below, Thurmos put every ounce of power into his flight.
----------------
She could barely move now. The nurse was trying to help her after just receiving a major stab wound herself to the abdomen. Shivera placed a flat hand to the nurse's wound and a white light glowed. The wound healed quickly. The nurse was surprised for a moment, then urged her to move. Shivera resisted. Moving to the side, she revealed it...
The egg. She had just produced it moments ago, shortly after writing the letter** for him to read when he was older. She handed it to the nurse and spoke in Acrosian: "Please, take this... take my child... send them to the emergency location on the escape po-" she begain to cough up blood.
She had just single handedly wiped out a group of attackers, destroying most of their home in the process. She had taken moderate damage, as she focused on protecting her midsection... the egg the most. She just learned of her son. And now, she may never see him...
The nurse takes a while to become convinced, but soon scoops up the egg and with the help of a mechanic who happened by, went forth to prepare the Egg's escape.
--------------
Outside, attackers are trying hard to bring down the doors of Thurmos' home. A group charging the front door are hit by a black Ki blast and destroyed instantly. The raging monster had arrived, and the army knew it. They ran in terror as he rained black death down upon his foes... but they fought back. Some stronger than the average troop.
Thurmos was stronger by far, but he was trying not to hit his home and endanger his family. He had burned alot of energy in flight. Now, he'd pay. He was getting worn down by blast after blast, hit after hit... his energy becoming weaker and weaker as the seconds ticked by. As hard as he fought... As strong as he was... He closed his eyes. He would not survive this day.
He shouldn't have.
But before his lifeforce fully left his body, a warm feeling came over him. Everything became quiet as a faint hum filled his ears and his body began to heal....
"No. Please, if there is a God, no..."
---------------
Climbing to her feet, she managed to crawl over debris and burning junk until she could see light. She cared not for the light... she wanted to see only one thing. Her beloved husband just one last time... she knew she was going to die. She was bleeding out badly already and was barely able to move, let alone stand. But she drove herself each inch.
And what she seen was heartbreaking. He was being battered mid air, not even able to fall enough to hit the ground before he was juggled back up again by another blast. He was going to die...
It was instinct really. She couldn't bare it. With both hands, she lashed out at him, charging bright white Ki. "White... Vail! Heal... please heal..." There was a moment of nothing. Witch never happened before... her White Vail technique had never failed her before.
So she put more into it until it worked. It would cover Thurmos, protecting and healing him in a conformable, warm Ki. Like a rejuvenation tank. Only she didn't realize what she had done...
One of the stronger attackers had spotted her, and charged up a large amount of Ki. Shivera couldn't hear Thurmos' cries to run... she only noticed at the very last second before a huge energy wave consumed her entire being. She felt her dress burn away, her natural armor followed by every piece of her existence...
And Blaze felt the whole thing.
--------------
Thurmos didn't feel a thing. He just watched, unable to move due to the Vail. He had to watch the woman he loved... the mother of his child... get vaporized into nothing by some lowly scumbag.
Below, the blasting stopped as the remaining enemies looked up at the glowing light above. A couple minuets passed... and then it burned out suddenly. He was still there... he was fully healed... just floating there with his head hung and tears in his eyes. His wife... his son... both dead in one blast.
He didn't wish to live anymore. The mob below could tear him apart if they wished... Then, he heard a few pops, followed by the sound of the pod silo beside their home opening up. And he felt it... the faint energy...
Disturbed: Another Way To Die
His child lived! And there was a chance they could survive this attack. Thurmos was suddenly filled with a twisted sense of joy... he didn't care if he lived or died. But either way, that pod would launch in time. And thanks to Shivera... he had his full power!
His body began to become surrounded in a black aura and his power began to raise. There was something these fools didn't know... there was more power to be witnessed yet!
"HURRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
His eyes turned a full glowing red as the sides of his face covered in thicker armor. The two fin-like pieces on either side of his dome grew back further and split up and down into two horn-like curves. Spikes grew from his forearm armor and the back of his calves, his body grew taller and shoulders broadened.
One of the guys on the ground couldn't read it with hi scouter, so he called into base command. "Command, what does the scanner say--"
"It's over Seven MILLIOOOOOOON! he heard them yell through the mic, dropping it after. The guy had to pull the scouter off his head from the volume of the scream. "What!? That's impossible! That just... can't be right!"
He turned, bumping into someone.
Thurmos.
"I think it's right."
One beam from his finger turned them all to ash in a second.
His power increased 50% on top of its maximum... plus his rage. He had found a form beyond the true form. And now, he was going to murder every... single... one of them. He rocketed into the sky, charging up a huge energy blast over his head. He roared something as he fired it down upon another group of fools... clean into the planet itself. And the blast burned straight through to the core and beyond, right out the other side of the planet!
The core didn't explode. It was dragged out of the planet by the force of the wave, spewing out of the bottom of the planet like a fountain of magma and flame. The Atmosphere ignited due to impurities it had gathered over hundreds of years, coating the sky with fire. The planet was a living hell, and Thurmos wanted none of it for his Child.
He seen the launch commence. He needed to distract them more. There was one thing he could do... he looked down into the dark hole below and hesitantly raised a hand. He charged up what looked like a ball of black Ki in that hand, and more Ki came smoking out of the hole below. He began to squeeze his hand slowly closed...
He looked up. Two pops, and then the sonic boom. The pod was off, Thurmos wached the little white star with a trail carry on up through the flames above. He telekeneticly cleared a hole for it to pass through instantly.
Goodbye then... I... wish I'd gotten to meet you. Just one time.
He looked back down, reflecting on his life quickly before he uttered his final words...
"Shadow... Coffin... Technique."

Chapter 4
Black Hole
The Shadow Coffin Technique.
That was the single most powerful technique that the Icer could produce. Anywhere within his line of sight, he could conjure up a ball of Ki on any target, and manipulate, charge and even move it with his hand. The slower he closed that hand, the more the attack would charge, and crush the target within the energy. Then, springing the hand open, the Ki would implode, then explode into a deafening blast.
It had the power of a Deathball at the same level. And Thermos just targeted the center of the planet. None would survive after what they did to Shivera. None would survive.
The blast normally would never cause such destruction. But Thurmos had put all his power into this one attack. Put his every ounce of being into it. And the result was catastrophic.
the planet began to glow black from both ends where the Wave had cut through. The glow grew bigger and longer, and the planet became engulfed in darkness before it begun to be crushed. The crust of the planet being compressed into itself... The energy drawing inward.
Then in a bright flash, Acrosia, once the home of the newly labeled Icarians vaporized into the void, taking both its moons with it and sending out a treacherous Shockwave. Then, something even more horrific happened. The dust, debris, remnants of the planet... started pulling inwards.
For the first time in history, a planet's explosion had created... a Black Hole. A Star is usually the cause... but this time, it was purely artificial. The first non-star made, non-natal Black Hole ever. And it absorbed every bit of matter that was once Acrosia. And Shivera. And Thurmos. It consumed the nearby Star's other planets, some of witch evacuated already... some did not.
More people died then Thermos expected. The solar system with its planets, moons, asteroids... even it's Sun was absorbed into the Black Hole. Another first time... A Black Hole devouring a Star.
And now, to this day, it's still out there. The WTO had built a garbage Disposal Station over there now, shipping and offloading all of their many planets garbage into it, rather than dumping on old planets like hey used to. Now the SSE would do the same. Old space junk was re-directed here. Meteors and Asteroids as well.
It consumed all and was not picky. And it was known from then on as the Tomb of Thurmos. Resting place for one of the universes greatest monsters.
Why is it we allow power to drive us mad like this? King Kold? Frieza? Thurmos? Old King Yakedo? And now even Touketsuki has been lost in the same spiral of power lust and insane self hate.
Was Blaze next? Or was he different?
((End, Zeni gain please!)) ((gravity and simulator multipliers not in effect, as I don't own any yet. If you'd like to dispute anything posted or think a change needs made, please feel free to post below.)) ((New Techs: White Vail: Improved from his basic Healing, User engulfs a target in white healing energy for 4 posts to fully rejuvenate their health, energy and regenerate lost limbs. Target cannot hear things around them well, but are free to break out beforehand with partial healing.
