[Duria Palace, Planet Furuta – Age 770]

King Durian sat at his throne. The throne room itself had a window overlooking Duria City, with a variety of stands and shops set up amidst clusters of houses. Furutans bustled about; Durian noticed that there was a lot more traffic than normal, but he didn’t know why.
Growing concerned, he stood up and started for the stairs that led down to the palace’s entrance. As soon as he had taken a few steps, however, a Furutan named Namgo turned the corner in a slight panic.
“King Durian, sir, there’s an issue downstairs,” he said.
“What’s wrong?” Durian asked, Namgo leading him to the basement steps.
“Well, I’m sure you heard of the twins. Eeto and Epla, born to Grafu and Pecha last week.”
“Yes…?” he said questioningly, the two entering the bottom floor of the palace.
“Well, they were about to put them into their Incubation Chambers, but… well, you have to see it to believe it. Everybody went crazy when they sensed their energy.” Namgo brought Durian over to the older boy, Eeto.
“A five, already?!’ Durian half-shouted.
“Yeah. Epla’s already at a three,” Namgo added. Durian just glared at him, and then focused hard on Eeto.
“Inconceivable. He just went up by one while I was reading him… well, I suppose that gets rid of all of my doubts.”
“So, what do you make of it?”
“I have no idea.”
“Exactly. Neither do I. If they’re already this strong, what kind of monstrous power will they have when they’re older?”
“…I have no idea,” Durian repeated hesitantly.
“Well, I guess we should just hope for the best,” Namgo replied.
“Yes, we should.” Durian and Namgo headed back upstairs to the throne room.
“Okay, seriously though, how should we go about this? They’re stronger than most other children even though they’re not even a month old. They shouldn’t even be getting close to a two yet,” Namgo said. The two sat for a while, pondering the boys’ strength.
“The eclipse.” Durian sat straight up in his throne.
“What?” Namgo asked.
“The eclipse. The twins were the only two Furutans born during the time the eclipse lasted, it must have had- had some sort of effect on them.”
“This is sounding dangerously like those Sai-” Namgo started.
“Stop there. Do not speak of them. We as a race agreed as soon as we were banished from that planet, Vegeta, to never speak of them again.”
“Y-yes sir, but do you think, maybe… this could be the same as that?”
“…Possibly,” Durian said after a few seconds, calming down. “If not, just similar. Our tails don’t have that reaction to the moon anymore, after all. For now, don’t worry about what the future holds. We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.”
“That sounds like our best bet here. I just… I don’t know how I’m going to handle training them.”
“I’m sure you’ll do fine, no matter how strong the boys get. You’re the best mentor there is!” Durian gave Namgo a pat on the shoulder.
“Yeah… you’re right.”

[Duria City, Planet Furuta – Age 782]

“Eeto, wake up!” Epla tried to shake his brother awake.
“I’m uuuup…” Eeto stretched and rolled right off his bed, landing on the floor with a thud.
“Come on, bro, I know you’re not that tired. Besides, today’s our first day of training.”
“HOLY CRUD!” Eeto practically did a backwards roll to get up. “When’s Namgo coming?”
“In about three hours. He said we should train as hard as we can at home until then.”
“Okay, so, like… just keep farming and stuff? Our usual workload?”
“Pretty much, yeah. I don’t see how else we could train…”
“Hop on my back.”
“What?!” Epla exclaimed.
“Just hop on. I wanna test how much I can lift. If I can lift you almost no problem, then I know I can lift at least a little under my own body weight. It’ll give me sort of a starting point to tell Namgo.”
Epla snapped his fingers. “Ooooh! Alright, careful here… aaaand- hyup!”
“Grrrgh!… Okay, yeah, you’re pretty heavy…! Down, down-down-down!”
“Does that give you a good enough starting point?” Epla asked, holding his stomach.
“Uh, yeah. Thanks and sorry…”
“You’re good. I get why you needed that. Let’s get training, I guess. We’ve got some carrots to clean up today.”
“Right.” The boys headed downstairs, grabbing their tools. Eeto grabbed a large bowl for the carrots. They went around to the back of their house where their garden was located. “Where are mom and dad?”
“Getting us all registered and crud or whatever. Might be taking longer because of our ‘legendary power.'”
“Oh, yeah, how many FPUs are you at now? 40-something?”
“47 now, yeah. And according to my readings, you’re at a 51,” Epla said.
“Dang,” Eeto replied.…[Read more]
