Namek Savior, Chapter 2: Training
Tolden was awoken at the break of dawn by a sudden rush of cold. He opened his eyes, and a fish stared back at him!

"Hu-" Tolden questioned, and water filled his mouth. He realized he was underwater. He swam up to be greeted by a smirking Piccolo.

"Good Morning," Piccolo remarked, "Nice to see you up. Lesson #1 is, if you aren't a light sleeper, you're dead. From now on if you sleep past the crack of dawn, you get thrown in the river. Don't worry, you'll get some dry clothes in a few minutes."

The day got worse from there. Before the training even started, Piccolo said, "Now you get your new clothes. You will never see your old ones again."

With a wave of his finger, Tolden had new clothes that looked just like Piccolo's. He flexed his muscles. He had a harder time moving his arms, and moving in general, and he couldn't figure out why.

"Weighted clothing." Piccolo said, seemingly reading his mind. "They greatly increase your Power level. Your Power Level now is about 78,000, and mine in 159,000. The higher Changelings are about 725,000, and it is said that Dr. Gero himself in a new Android body is about 1,550,000."

This shocked Tolden. How could he get this strong? But he was getting used to his new clothes. Piccolo said it was time for training. First he made Tolden do 1500 pulls up on a tree, followed by 700 squats and 900 pushups. By the end Tolden felt like he was dead.

"It going to get MUCH worse," Piccolo said. "The warm up exercises will incresae by 100 each day, and i will do them with you. Then comes the hard part. Actually fighting will take so much out of you some days you won't be able to move. Now, defend yourself!"

All of a sudden he flew at Tolden. Tolden recoiled in suprise, and Piccolo kicked him right in the face. He grabbed his face, and Piccolo kneed him in the stomach. Tolden got mad and swung at him. Piccolo caught his fist and threw him into the stream. Then Tolden had a idea.

"KA----ME--HA-----ME----" He said underwater, and zanzokened in front of Piccolo, "HA!!!!!!!"

The blast slammed into Piccolos ki shield and even though it didnt penetrate his shield, it threw him back into a mountain range about a mile away. Tolden smiled as he thought that was the end. He turned around to walk back to camp to be met with the heel of Piccolo's foot. It threw him back, and Piccolo ax handled him in the back. He wrenched in pain, and Piccolo just laughed. He took advantage of Piccolo laughing and kicked him in the stomach. Piccolo gritted his teeth and flew up.

Tolden was folowing him, and he got an idea. He zanzokened in back of Piccolo, and Piccolo turned around. He then zanzokened to where Piccolo was facing a second ago, and did a diving kick to the small of his back. Piccolo flew towards the ground, but still landed on his feet. Tolden landed bedside him and roundhoused him in the jaw. Piccolo spit a tooth and kneed him in the ribs. Tolden bent over and Piccolo kicked him in the face.

"Get up!" He said, punching him in the face. Tolden's nose bled, and he jumped up. He fired a ki blast at him, and Piccolo dodged. Then Tolden fired another. And another. Piccolo dodged them all, and Tolden went for the real attack. He kicked them in the stomach, and fired a ki blast to his back. It burned Piccolo's back, and he yelled in pain. He whirled around and punched him hard enough to break his nose. Tolden grabbed his face, and Piccolo kicked him in the back of the leg, ripping the tendon. Tolden fell down.

"Thats enough sparring for today. We can do more exercises later and tonight we'll work on technique." Piccolo said. He handed Tolden a small green bean.

"Whats this?" Tolden asked.

"It's called a senzu. They will heal you to full health, very useful in battle. Now rest or meditate for a while, then we'll do some more calisthenics." Piccolo walked away after that. Tolden sighed.

"One more thing, a good way to further yourself without fighting is meditation. It'll help you be more concentrated." Piccolo remarked, then flew off too meditate.

Tolden tried meditating. After a while, a blue man that Tolden knew from Piccolo's telepathic info that this was King Kai, or Kaio-sama.

"Tolden," King Kai said, "There is one move Piccolo can't teach you. It is called the Kaio-Ken. Now, this is what you have to do....."

8 hours later, Tolden had finally figured out what he had to do. He walked out into a clearing, and concentrated. He tried to push his ki outward, and yelled, "Kaio-Ken Times 2!" His skin streched and his muscles concrated and then grew, and a red aura surrounded him. He felt as though he was being torn apart, and he mentally shut it off. He tried again and found that he could go up to Kaio-Ken times 4 for a long time. Piccolo yelled that it was time for some more exercise. Tolden smiled as he realized that Piccolo would have a suprise tomorrow......

Dr. Gero stared out his wall-sized window. He smiled to himself as he realized that now only not was he the smartest person in the world, he was the strongest. History would remember Dr. Gero as the greatest- wait, he was immortal! A cackle came over the loudspeaker.

"Dr. Gero, your highness, Captain Ice is here to see you." Said Dr. Geros secretary.

"Let him in." Dr. Gero said. Perhaps Ice and his squad had caught the spawn of Toola. Now that Toola and the Z fighters were gone, only this Tolden was left to challenge him, and once this was nipped in the bud before Tolden could get strong enough to challenge him, he truly would be the Emporer of the world.

Captain Ice pulled at the collar of his Gero Empire- issued uniform. He knew that Dr. Gero was not going to like the information he was bringing......
