Cherreads

Chapter 3 - 3

The first to stand was Ultraman "Let's go and meet our guest." he stated a sinister smile making its presence known as he put emphasis on the last part. They all regrouped and exited the conference and made their way towards the landing bay.

Upon arriving in the location of the energy levels, Goku felt weird, conflicted as if a hidden power or force was messing with his body. With his tail waving excitedly behind him, he tried to retract it, but it just recoiled. 'Where am I?' mused Goku, inspecting the surrounding area. A few technologically advanced jet-planes stood at attention gleaming in the pale glow of the natural light streaming in the windows. 'What's this energy I feel, it is…it is messing with my Ki?' he mused, struggling to control the erratic tail.

The sound of a door opening snapped him from his musings, drawing his attention towards the entrance. A group of colourfully dressed individuals came into the room, before standing a few feet from him. A certain one dressed in blue spandex was standing slightly ahead of the rest. Goku took it he was the leader.

The male dressed in the blue spandex opened his mouth to speak "Who are you, and how did you get in here?" he questioned, curious eyes scanning over the intruder whom with his odd raven spiky hair, bright orange martial arts gi, wristbands, undershirt and boots that were blue. He certainly looked out of place, and he was sure as hell going to find out where he came from "Are you another of Luthor's new Justice League?"

Unfortunately, for Goku it all sounded like gibberish "I can't understand what you are saying!" spoke Goku trying to tell him that he did not understand. He watched as looks of confusion crossed their faces, they did not understand him just like he did not understand them.

This was certainly an unexpected development, one that was going to deny him the opportunity to explain himself. Goku suddenly got an idea. If he could get physical contact with one of them, he could siphon everything they knew, languages included. It was a trick or more accurately an ability gained through training in basic telepathy with King Kai 'But who to get in contact with?' he mused silently, eyes roaming over the colourful individuals.

All the males were out of the picture, a part of him warned him not to try the technique with a man. So that left the female, and unbeknownst to him she was currently looking him over; his attire, his furry tail, his well sculpted and defined muscles that were on show from under his fighting gi.

Goku watched her lick her lips, lust filled eyes taking in every detail of him. A small sweat drop ran down the length of his face 'Huh… guess I have no choice but to go for her.' he mused inwardly before he walked up to Superwoman.

"Can I help you?" were the last words she muttered when Goku slapped his large calloused hand on the crown of her head. This action earned him a gasp of surprise from the femme fatale herself before she shoved the Saiyan away, her features scrunched up in rage.

Opening her mouth, she prepared to give him a piece of her mind, before getting cut off by someone else "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" thundered a voice that had started out even, before getting higher in volume. It belonged to Ultraman, who had a finger pointed at Goku that shook with rage "You better explain yourself this instant!"

After sharing contact with Superwoman, even though it had been brief, the spiky haired Saiyan had gained the ability to speak the same language as her "I couldn't understand you before I read her mind. With the help of the technique I gained access to her memories giving me the ability to understand you." explained Goku to the group "But in her memories I saw things that I'd rather not repeat. You and your whole group are the scourge of this universe. You oppress those that are weaker than yourself, you prevent honest hard-working men looking to make a difference in this world from doing so. You kill all those that stand up against you." he continued, fists clenching with barely restrained fury "For that I cannot forgive y… augh!"he screamed out in pain, slowly falling to his knees.

Ultraman looked on initially with shock then amusement as the man with the audacity to slap his lover was in pain on his knees "Well, well look here an opportunity to shut his big mouth once and for all." Stated a chuckling Ultraman, turning his back to the downed man. All the others proceeded to surround the assailant, leering over him as they limbered up preparing for the kill.

Unbeknownst to everyone, when Superwoman had been in contact with Goku his memories had transferred to Superwoman, giving her knowledge of his name and origin. This was due to the magic of the Wizard 'Shazam' running through her body and mixing it with off world magic had copied the effects of the spell on her assaulter.

She approached Goku's prone form, circling him slowly like a predator prepping for the kill on its prey. Their eyes stayed on each other as she moved around. Going down on her knee besides him, she leaned towards his ear "So Goku, you're not from this universe, am I correct?" it was barely above a whisper, but it was enough to leave Goku shocked, after all he had not revealed his name or his origin, he had been close to it until he fell forward in pain.

"H-How…d-do…. y-you…know my name?" he croaked in question, forcing himself to look her in the face.

He watched from the corner of his eyes as she and placed her lips near his ear once more "Remember when you slapped my head?" she whispered seductively, her sultry voice torturing him.

"H-how is that connected to you knowing my…oh."

It suddenly dawned on him, there had been a sharp but brief pain at the back of his head that had never been present before when using the technique, he had learned from King Kai. Had he done it wrong this time, granting her his memories? Well there was only one way to find out "H-how much did you learn?" he croaked, still suffering from the pain.

She allowed a coy smile to grace her features, before standing up and walking away "Enough to know you are a threat to our plans for universal domination." She responded over her shoulder before walking to stand besides Ultraman, her hips swaying suggestively "I suggest killing him whilst he's weakened." she stated, looking over her shoulder at the Saiyan.

Goku watched in pain as Ultraman slowly loomed closer, a sick smirk present as he was ready to tear him apart in his current state "S-stay b-back…. I-I can't guarantee your safety!" he shouted in warning, "I can't resist it any longer!" but it was too late.

A warrior's scream escaped his lips as he threw his head back to look at the ceiling. A flaming red aura engulfed his frame before light engulfed the room, blinding all those that had been looking in his direction.

Within the red light Goku's muscled frame slowly shed some of his impressive muscle mass leaving behind a lean but defined body frame. His hair stayed in the same style but gained a shimmering deep crimson tint to it. His onyx eyes were now a penetrating ruby, intense as the surface of the sun itself. With a final scream and another blinding light to accompany it, the transformation was completed. The resulting explosion of light and energy caused all nearby villains to be pushed backwards slightly.
