Man... What a day. I wiped some sweat from my forehead and looked around. The area around me was covered in pine trees and bushes, leaves brushed in the cool wind as I could hear the sound of birds chirping and other neat sounds of the forest. I was standing on a cement platform, my usually training grounds. I just finished a hard day of training today, and I really needed a break. I walked over to a small picnic table and opened up my canteen, I started gulping down the water inside. "Tien-sensei will be so proud of me! I bet my Power Level has increased a lot!" I exclaimed. Perhaps I should explain... My name is Leak. I'm an aspiring Martial Artist who has searched for years to find a good master. It wasn't too long ago that I found out about the legendary Tien Shinhan. I searched him out and after a quick spar to show him my strength, he agreed. Of course I didn't win, but it was still fun nonetheless. He's just so powerful... Anyways, I started walking back to my home as I admired the scenery around me, as I have many times before. I sat down on the worn down wooden steps into the entryway and took a breather. My hous wasn't much, an old run-down wooden building which hasn't received a maintenance check for at least a decade. I was about to walk inside when a voice sounded out from behind me. "Leak?" I turned around quickly, I know that voice from anywhere. "TIEN-SENSEI!" I ran up to my Master and bowed politely. "I've been training a lot! Just like you said!" I said. "Oh yeah? I can definitely tell. You've been really training a lot, Leak... I think it's time I start teaching you Special Moves." My eyes widened, Did he really just say what I think he did? "Y-you mean the moves of the Crane School? Like the Dodon Ray and the Tribeam?" He nodded at me and gave me a friendly smile. "That's right, Leak. I think it's time to expand your move set beyond just one." I raised my left had up to my chest and clutched it into a fist. My signature attack was the Dragon Phoenix Fist, an attack that required one to come at terms with their Positive and Negative sides while at the same time using a ki powered punch at their opponent... It was a pretty effective move. "So... When do you want to start teaching me?" I questioned my Master, kinda hyped up about the this. "Soon, Leak. Say... Tomorrow?" I gave him a quick nod. "Hai! Sounds good to me Tien-sensei!" With that we exchanged goodbyes and he flew off. I went inside, completely naive of the events that were soon to unfold.
The next morning Tien-sensei took me off to meet more Martial Artists like myself. I met the Wolf Bandit, Yamcha. The Psychic, Chiaotzu. Also Tien's best friend. I was taken to Kame House, a small island in the middle of nowhere. While I was there I met Krillin, 18(Why'd she call herself that?), and Master Roshi. All nice people... But 18 kinda put me on edge, She was so intimidating! ...And why was Master Roshi always hanging out so close to her? Later we went to meet the Briefs family over at Capsule Corp... I'm pretty sure I was more interested in the City than I was of the actual family... I've never seen anything like it! The buildings were so big! There were so many people! When I finally started talking to the Briefs family I met Bulma, She was so nice! Trunks, He was just a kid... and he acted kinda rude, But he was pretty cool I guess. Then I met Vegeta... He had the same intimidating stare as 18... I took a step back and Tien put his hand on my shoulder. "Come on Leak... Just one more stop." I nodded and we flew off.
Finally we came into the area of a large mountain... Mount Pizza? Poza? No...Paozu! That was it! There we came by a small house... And I met them. The Son Family. I met the wife Chi-Chi first, She acted so kind and motherly! It gave me a warm feeling... It's been so long since I've had a mother. Next I met Gohan, A boy around my age... Maybe a bit older. He seemed like a great guy! He was also really smart... I could barely keep up with what he was saying! I then met the little one, Goten. Such an energetic kid! Reminded me of myself. And then I met the head of the family... Son Goku. I sensed his power immediately upon confrontation... It seemed small at first... But then I felt something much larger that was compressed behind it. He must be trying to hide his power... But why? That wasn't important. I shook hands with him and we exchanged idle talk. Something about him seemed... Familiar. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I could put my finger on some of Chi-Chi's delicious cooking though! Me and Tien decided to stay for Lunch since it was around lunchtime anyways. Immediately after getting a plate I devoured it quickly... Too quickly. Chi-Chi gave me an astonished look and Goku simply patted me on the head. "Now that's a kid! He eats like a Saiyan! Where did you ever find him, Tien?" I got my second plate and devoured that down too. I then got another, then another, then another. I continued the eat the food voraciously, I couldn't help myself! I could tell even the Sons were getting surprised... Like they haven't seen a Human eat like that or something. I remember getting similar looks from the people at a nearby Village before... What was wrong with eating so much? I felt relieved to see that Goku, Gohan, and Goten were eating as furiously as I was. We continued to chow down for a bit before Tien got up and stretched. "Well... I think we should call this a visit. Come on Leak." I followed after Tien, waving goodbye to my new friends. Tien led me outside and we prepared to take off again... The a sudden jolt went through my head... A giant power level was approaching Earth.
