How much time had passed? It was hard to tell. The sound of beeping machines and footfall outside of his room lulled him in and out of consciousness. Occasionally Aiden received a visitor or two. Some of the men whose lives he had saved during the attack wanted to pay their respects. Though Aiden was not awake at the time there was word that King Vegeta (or at least one of his emissaries) had shown up to honor the hero.

That’s what they were calling him. As it would turn out, Aiden’s face was being plastered all over the net. News sites reporting on the attack on Rein kept flashing his mug all over with phrases like ‘Human Single-Handedly Saves City’ (not quite true) and ‘White-Haired Warrior Wrecks Wizard’s Work’. In only a matter of days Aiden was swiftly going from an unknown individual to a full blown celebrity.

“Supposed that’s what you get for saving an entire city and fighting off an alien invasion,” remarked the Namekian doctor currently tending to Aiden’s status. His eyes gazed over a small holographic chart that he kept on hand so that he could gage his patient’s status. His eyes would widen in shock, however.

“How bad is it?” Aiden mused, doing his best to sit up in bed. He looked pretty lousy. One white bandage wrapped around his forehead. Another larger one encased most of his upper torso and left shoulder. A splint had been set against his left leg and another brace on his right arm. Looking at his level of injuries Aiden was lucky to be alive. Strangely, though, he was in very little pain. Must be the meds.

“Well, that’s just the thing. If this readout is correct… you’re almost completely healed.”

A brow raised at that. “Healed? You’re kidding.”

The doctor turned the chart to face his patient giving Aiden the chance to look it over. He wasn’t lying. Aiden’s body showed only little resounding damages. His broken ribs, his burned skin, even his concussion seemed to have diminished greatly. “Huh. I mean, I’ve always been pretty good at using my ki to mend my injuries but still… I’m a little impressed. Whatever treatment you guys gave me must have worked.”

The Namekian returned his attention to the chart, looking for Aiden’s medication. The listed item - Serum 22J - was unknown to him. Looking at its readout caught him completely off guard. These doses... it could have killed Aiden just as much as heal him! It was amazing that he survived the injection. But who authorized...

“Well, if that’s the case, doc, I don’t think I need to be in this bed any longer. I have things that need doing before this whole attack thing came up.”

“Wait, you still need--”

Before he could respond, Aiden leapt out of bed, gave a casual wave, cranked open the window at his bedside, and leapt straight out from the fourteenth floor.


Flight was a little rough on him at first. While he was mostly mended he still ached something fierce. Not to mention, his mind was very cloudy with the latest events making him incredibly distracted. He knew one thing, though. He needed to get back to Rein and retrace his steps. That crystal ball he found was constantly at the back of his mind. Could it really be his ticket home?

Being so lost in thought, Aiden paid little attention to his flight pattern. Deciding the best way to Rein from Vaanz where he had been staying was a straight line (not always the case). He did just that and flew straight for his destination. The resulting path took him across the vast desert of Vegeta which was his mistake.

Before he even knew what was happening a sudden explosion of sand beneath him caught his eye. With little time to react two rows of massive teeth came straight for him and caught the hapless human in their embrace. Thankfully he avoided their deadly bite and was left fighting from being swallowed hole. Had a dinosaur really been hiding under the sand and Aiden just happen to fly straight into its range?

How bad could this guy’s luck get lately?

Anger flaring along with his aura, Aiden made to give the beast a real bad toothache...
