Chapter 1
Messages from a stranger through old acquaintances

"Come one boy, it doesn't take that much, does it?".
Kibitoshin panted and closed his eyes, his hands joined as if in prayer: since Majin Bu had been defeated twelve years before, the Old Kai had intended to teach everything he knew to the younger god. That day wasn't different from the others and the Old Kai wanted Kibitoshin to manage to use the Divine Window at any cost: it was a particularly hard technique which allowed to keep an eye on every planet of the universe without the use of the crystal spheres. Kibitoshin opened his hands as if they were a book: a golden glow came out of his hands but it immediately died out and the boy rolled his eyes, visibly fed up,
"Tsk, and to think that this is the easiest technique!" The Elder exclaimed, crossing his arms. Kibitoshin rejoined his hands, emptied his mind and reopened his eyes as he had done before, but this time a completely white glowing circle appeared:

"Yes, I did it!" he exclaimed with a big smile on his lips, but the Elder kept on staring at him with severity.
"There shouldn't be a white background, I already explained you that you must focus on a definite planet" The Elder uttered: "Now you're going to do it from the top until you'll be able to use this technique in a decent way, get it?".
"From the top? But I have practically been doing just this for six hours!" the boy protested.
"A high-leveled Kaioshin doesn't care at all!" The Elder replied: "I expect you to learn how to use this technique by today, because tomorrow we'll pass to something of much more harder".
"Tomorrow?!".
"Any objection?".
"I...".
"Quiet! The universe can't wait your own convenience, get it?".
Kibitoshin gave up and tried the technique again until, after three more hours, on the glowing circle the planet Earth appeared: "If you had complained less and had worked more, maybe it wouldn't have taken all this time" the Elder muttered.
Kibitoshin took the blow and clenched his fists: "If you don't change and don't apply yourself, you'll never be able to protect the universe and you'll always be a useless superior being. And now go away".
Kibitoshin left with his head bowed and started to read a book not far away, as the Elder sat under a tree, starting to turn over the pages of a magazine: between a semi-naked girl and another, the highest deity observed Kibitoshin out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other had abandoned the book and had covered his face with both his hands. Suddenly the eyelids of the old god started to grow heavy and he fell asleep with the magazine open on his knees.

When he woke from the nap, the Elder found himself huddled up and enveloped in a blanket, while the magazine had been placed next to him: he sat up, looking for Kibitoshin with his gaze, but he didn't see him anywhere.
"He's been very thoughtful with you, if I had been him I wouldn't have been that nice at all" an unknown voice said behind him and the Elder turned: the one who had talked was as high as Kibitoshin; the green skin covered by spots and the two big black and rigid wings made him look like a beetle while his lilac eyes were staring scornfully at the deity.
"You are Cell, Son Gohan told me about you. What do you want?" The Elder asked raising to his feet in order to face the android.
"Nothing, just to warn you about a little thing".
"Go on, speak!".
"I've been sent by someone who, unlike you, worries about that Kibitoshin" Cell said "Shortly some people will come here to talk to you about that boy who has had the misfortune of having to stand you".
"Hey, show some respect! I...".
"Shut up, you old geezer! I'm leaving now, I suggest you listen very carefully to what those three will say to you, you will need it" Cell abruptly interrupted him as he turned to leave, but then he added: "Ah, I was forgetting, give my regards to Son Gohan".
This said, the android disappeared into thin air.
