The sword of rai
In the blackness of the night the only thing in site was a little fire on top of a mountain. Gohan sat on the edge of a mountain frozen in time overlooking many rocky canyons, the warm glow of the fire lighting up his face. He sat there deep in thought, he was contemplating how to get stronger, that was his only goal at this moment in time. The sun began to rise in a mix of all of different colours; Gohan could not help but stare at it in awe of its beauty. It was so stunning that It made him lose all sense of time, he felt like he had been sitting there for weeks, when in fact he had been lost in his thought a mere 3 hours. His chain of thought was broken as he saw something crashing into a mountain in the distance, he was reluctant to go and see what it was because then he would have to leave his peaceful little mountain top that he had grown to love over the few hours he was there.
His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to go and investigate the crash he had just witnessed. He dashed across the rocky canyons, as if he was dancing. He reached what appeared to be the crash site of a ship. Gohan approached the ship with caution, it was half encased in the earth and there was smoke leaking out of it. The lights started flashing and the lid of the ship shot open. Gohan bounced back as a man burst out of the ship. Gohan stood and stared at the man, he had an assortment of scrolls sticking out of his bag his clothes were pristine and very classy he was wearing very expensive armour as well over his clothes and over his right eye he wore a scouter. The man changed his stance and smirked at Gohan, he then launched a flurry of ki blasts at Gohan. Gohan punched them away as if they were nothing.
The man was confused; he clenched his fist and then turned his scouter on. His face suddenly changed and he backed off and then turns and ran. Gohan appeared right in front of him; the man stopped in his tracks threw down the bag of scrolls and fired a ki blast at them reducing all of them into dust. Gohan had a confused look on his face and stepped closer to the man and looked him up and down. He then looked him in the eye
"Who are you and why do you have a scouter, because you're obviously not a saiyan."
The man looked confused
"What's a scouter? If you're after the maps sword I just destroyed the only maps in creation so if you want it you can't kill me."
"What are you talking about what sword and the scouter is the thing you wear over your eye?" Gohan replied even more confused than before
"What so you're not after the sword of rai, o...ok then I'll just be on my way then." The man said as he slowly began to walk away
Gohan shot a ki blast rite in front of the man
"Hold it, if this sword of rai is so important to kill someone I want to know more." Demanded Gohan
The man pushed a button on his armour and then suddenly exploded in a blaze of fire. Gohan stood staring at the mesmerising flames in astonishment ,he walked up to the charred body and noticed a pendent on his neck shaped like a sword and it had the word rai engraved on the blade, "I know what I'll do, if anyone knows what this sword is about it will be Kami. Gohan flew off into the sky heading for Kamis lookout.
Gohan reached the lookout and touched down on the spotless porcelain tiles. He gazed around the lookout trying to spot Kami but all he saw was the scenery, the perfectly trimmed trees and well looked after plants. He walked up to door shouting Kami's name. Kami appeared from the house to greet Gohan. "how are you today Gohan were you looking for something in particular or just paying a visit" Gohan smiled at Kami fondly "I wish I was here to pay a visit but I'm not, I'm here in search of some information" Kami looked at Gohan in an intrigued manor "oh what is it you are looking to find out?" "Well I met a warrior than wore this, he attacked me and said something about the sword of rai and before I could ask him what he was talking about he activated a self destruct button on his armour" said Gohan.
Kami looked shocked as Gohan handed over the pendant; he studied it for a second or two and then said to Gohan. "Yes I know of the sword of rai, it was said to have been forged in the fires of hell and wielded by a very powerful demon, but when the demon died it was supposedly lost forever" Gohan looked at Kami with a confused look "so what does this pendant have to do with it?" "Well you see I have an ancient map that contained the details of the swords whereabouts and how to obtain it." Answered Kami. Gohan still had a look of confusion on his face when he looked at Kami once more "but I still don't see where the pendant fits in to this story." Kami was a bit annoyed at Gohan when he said "Well I wasn't finished yet, you see in the details of how to obtain it sais you will need a pendent shaped like a sword with a ruby handle and the inscription rai on the blade to open the final door, what that means though I have no idea"
Gohan stood there very interested in this new found information, After all what would be better to gain power than wielding a legendary sword. He looked at Kami and said eagerly "so Kami if you had the only map in existence then how did the man get the map?" Kami smirked at Gohan "well you see I was robbed a long time ago by a warrior who was looking for the sword, but little did he know the map that he stole was a fake, I'll take you to the real map." Gohan followed Kami, into the house to receive the map to the sword. They walked down long and dusty corridors until they reached a large statue of a namekian warrior, Kami pushed in the belt of the namekian statue and it moved out of the way revealing a large room filled with lots of old dusty items they walked up to the middle of the room and on a platform in a glass case was a very old and fragile looking scroll.
Kami opened the glass case and reached in for the scroll, he turned to Gohan and gave him the scroll and the pendent carefully "you must be very careful with this it's very old, and Gohan be cautious on your journey the scroll Sais it's very dangerous." Gohan smiled at Kami "don't worry Kami I will be thank you but if I'm to find this I must be on my way. Gohan walked out of the room and away into the open platform area. He shot off into the sky waving goodbye to Kami.
