Dragon Star: Super-Soldier Reborn

New York, Avengers Tower. Steve Rogers, known to the world as Captain America, was currently fixated on the computer screen before him. On the screen, Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, his golden aura tearing through the sky, the sheer world-obliterating power making Steve’s heart clench. "Not enough… still not enough…" He muttered under his breath, his fists tightening silently. Whether it was facing the Chitauri army or that purple-skinned madman who tried wiping out half the universe with a snap, Steve had felt utterly powerless. He craved power—the kind of absolute strength that could protect everything and crush anything in its path! "What if… if I could travel to the Dragon Ball world and become a Saiyan…" Once this insane thought took root, it could no longer be suppressed. This wasn’t just the fantasy of a geek—it was a warrior’s most desperate thirst for strength. "I’d give anything to gain the power of a Saiyan!" He nearly roared the words at the screen. The moment the words left his lips, a strange purple light erupted from a dragon-headed ring on his finger without warning. Immediately after, the phantom of a blood-red Shenron streaked through the air, coiling around him and swallowing him whole. Light flashed, and the room returned to dead silence. The computer screen remained on, as if mocking this scene that defied reality. …… Warmth. That was Steve’s first sensation as consciousness returned. He was enveloped in a thick, viscous liquid, surrounded by a gentle green glow. He tried to open his eyes but found his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. Attempting to move his limbs only brought waves of weakness. "Where… am I?" His mind was still stuck on the moment the blood-red dragon phantom had consumed him. Then, a flood of overwhelming information rushed into his disordered thoughts, clarifying his current circumstances. He, Steve Rogers, had truly crossed over. He had traveled to the Dragon Ball world—and was now a newborn Saiyan baby on Planet Vegeta! Ecstasy! Unparalleled ecstasy instantly drowned out all reason! A Saiyan! The strongest warrior race in the universe! He had succeeded! Suppressing the volcanic eruption in his heart, he mustered all his strength and finally cracked open his eyelids by a sliver. What greeted his sight were rows of transparent, cylindrical incubation pods, each housing a n***d infant like himself. But what made his heart race uncontrollably were the furry tails sprouting from the backs of those babies! "No mistake… there’s no mistake!" His soul trembled as he howled inwardly. This was Planet Vegeta—the starting point of countless legendary warriors! Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu… all those universe-threatening enemies in the future would become stepping stones on his path to martial supremacy! He would no longer be that super soldier who relied solely on a shield. He would crush everything with his own fists! "I will grow stronger. I will stand at the pinnacle of this universe. I will reign supreme above all realms!" Steve swore this grand ambition in his heart, and the wild ambition of a true warrior began to surge uncontrollably. Just then—an abrupt change occurred! He felt something deep within his body—an ancient, mysterious wheel—begin to rotate slowly. "Hummm—" A sound indescribable in words reverberated through the depths of his soul. Then, a wisp of eerie blue gas seeped out of the wheel, coiling like a spirit snake before merging into his bloodstream. The sensation was beyond words—as if every cell in his body had been infused with divine power, or as if his soul had been branded with an unknown mark. Throbbing. Unease. Before he could fully process this transformation, the power-level scanner outside his incubation pod suddenly shrieked with a deafening alarm! The digits on its screen skyrocketed at an impossible rate! [100…] [500…] [2000…] [10000…] [35000…] [58624!] Fifty-eight thousand six hundred and twenty-four! This number far surpassed that of the legendary once-in-a-millennium Super Saiyan—Broly! It was a value that could drive the entire Saiyan race into madness! "BANG—!" The scanner’s screen couldn’t withstand this deluge of terrifying data. After a chaotic flicker, it exploded violently, sparks flying everywhere! Simultaneously, an indescribable, monstrous energy erupted from Steve’s tiny infant body! BOOM! The entire incubation chamber trembled violently, countless pods groaning under the pressure. This energy swept outward like an invisible storm—engulfing all of Planet Vegeta in an instant! Every Saiyan training, fighting, or simply living their lives on the planet felt, at that exact moment, as though an ancient divine mountain had crushed down on them. The air solidified. Time seemed to freeze. Every Saiyan wearing a scouter had their device scream with a shrill alarm, the display screens glitching uncontrollably before—c***k!—they all shattered in unison! "Aaargh! My eyes!" "What’s happening?!" "That ki… it’s terrifying! Who is that?!" Panic spread to every corner of the planet. Countless Saiyan warriors clutched their stinging eyes, staring fearfully at the sky, their bodies trembling uncontrollably under the oppressive aura radiating from their very souls. Planet Vegeta, the Royal Palace. Seated on his throne, King Vegeta’s eyes snapped wide open. He had felt that overwhelming, conqueror-like presence—a power so immense it left even the ruler of the Saiyans struggling to breathe! "An attack!" The king’s figure vanished from the throne, reappearing high in the sky above the palace in an instant. His sharp gaze swept across the horizon, his own energy erupting in response as his voice boomed like thunder: "Who dares act so brazenly on Planet Vegeta?!" His roar carried a flicker of something even he hadn’t realized—fear. This power was too great! Great enough to threaten his rule—even to annihilate the entire Saiyan race! Yet no matter how intensely he searched, he couldn’t pinpoint the source of this energy. It had come as swiftly as it vanished, leaving the entire planet of Saiyans unnerved and shaken in its wake. No one could have guessed that this world-shaking force came from an infant—one less than an hour old, lying in the "Low-Class Warrior Incubation Sector." At this moment, the incubation chamber lay in ruins. Steve quietly remained in his shattered pod, the blue gas having fully merged into his body. That cataclysmic energy had receded as quickly as it appeared, leaving no trace behind. Not a single ripple of his power could be sensed now—on the surface, he looked no different from any other newborn Saiyan with a power level in the single digits. But he knew—everything had changed. Dormant within his tiny body was an ocean vast enough to overturn the cosmos. And with it… came danger. The commotion he’d just caused had been too massive—big enough to alarm the entire planet. If discovered, this "monster" whose potential dwarfed even Broly’s would face anything but a kind fate. With King Vegeta’s paranoia and cruelty, he wouldn’t hesitate to snuff Steve out in the cradle. "I have to hide!" His mind raced—the calculating coolness and tactical instinct of a super soldier now taking full control. Just then, the incubation chamber’s door was kicked open with a BANG! A burly Saiyan, the remnants of a scouter still clinging to his face, burst into the room. This was Kimota, the facility’s power-level technician. "Damn it! That energy surge earlier came from here!" Kimota’s expression twisted in fury as he surveyed the wreckage. His eyes darted across the room before finally locking onto the only broken pod—and the seemingly "ordinary" infant lying inside. Their gazes met. Steve’s heart plummeted. This is it. Am I exposed?
