Masuto: The author is not here right now, see you next time.

Author: That's not true, I'm right here.

Masuto: I don't care, I'm too tired for another chapter.

Author: If you do, I'll buy you dinner.

Masuto: Fine you talked me into it. The author owns me and anyone else he makes up, but nothing else.

"Latent Power?" asked Masuto, "what's that?" "Latent powers are the powers that you have, but can't use, because they're blocked," explained the Grand Elder. "So, you're going to make me stronger?" asked Masuto. "Exactly," replied the Grand Elder. Masuto was eager to have a power boost. Not because he desires to become more power, but because he wants to damage Frieza's army as much as possible.

He was however doubtful that this would really work. He did however, try to keep an open mind. The Grand Elder put his oversized hands on Masuto's and Norjin's heads. At the same time, he released their latent abilities. Masuto had slightly more latent power then Norjin (in %), but Norjin is still stronger.

"Wow!" Masuto shouted, "I feel at least ten times stronger!" He gave a battle/victory smile that would eventually become his own signature smile. "Norjin," started the Grand Elder, "Tell your village elder of my approval, then you will pick the design for your ship." Masuto and Norjin then went back to the village. What took about 4 hours before, this time took no longer than 5 minutes.

They told the Village Elder of the news. Norjin decided to have a ship just like Masuto's built for him. "So, Masuto are you ready for training?" Norjin asked. "Yes, but I can't train in this," Masuto answered. "Right, I'll be back," replied Norjin. When he came back, he gave Masuto a dark blue fighting Gi with a black belt. Masuto already had his own black shoes.

"Ok Masuto, before we start training, tell me any of your strengths and weaknesses," stated Norjin. "Well, during a full moon I can transform into a great ape, but I can't control it," Masuto started. "Ok, anything else?" asked Norjin. "Well, if my tail is pulled, I lose a lot of my power. I've trained it some, but I still need a lot of work," Masuto finished.

"Ok, we'll work on those tomorrow, but for now let's work on something else, but one more question. Do you know how to sense energies?" asked Norjin. "Sense what?" Masuto replied. "I see," stated Norjin, "I guess I better explain it to you. Everyone has a distinct energy signature, a power level." "I know about power levels, I had a scouter that could pick-up energies, but it got destroyed." Masuto stated.

"Good, then you have a basic understanding," Norjin replied, "anyway, sensing energies allows you to know sudden changes, and allows you to detect locations of enemies as well as allies" "That sounds awesome, I'd love to learn how to sense energies," replied Masuto. "Well then, I'm going to teach you that first," said Norjin.

"How do we train the ability of energy sensing?" Masuto questioned. "There are many ways to learn how," Norjin replied. "So, where do we start?" asked Masuto. "Well," Norjin started, "First, I hide and then after 10 minutes, you try and find me." Masuto looked at Norjin questioning his methods.

"So, we're going to play hide and seek?" Masuto asked. "Not quite," Norjin stated, "You see, the entire planet is our field." "The entire planet!" Masuto shouted in disbelief, "There's no way I can find you looking across the entire planet!" "I could find you," replied Norjin. "That's about as possible as time travel," stated Masuto.

"Just because you've never seen something, doesn't mean it's impossible," replied Norjin, "we can't say time travel is a myth without proof." "So, you've seen time travel?" Masuto asked sarcastically. "No," Norjin started, "but I don't say it's impossible. You seem too convinced there's no way you could find me. So, to prove it, you pick somewhere to hide and I'll find you."

"Sounds easy enough," said Masuto confidently. "Here, take this, it's a timer set to two hours and ten minutes," Norjin stated, "After the first ten minutes, make sure your hidden, because then I'm coming to find you. If two hours pass and I haven't found you, come back to the village. We will start now."

Masuto quickly took to the sky and began looking for a place to hide. "Now, I better pick somewhere that he'd never expect," Masuto said to himself. He kept searching and searching, looking for an excellent place to hide. He saw many rock enclosures, but all were too obvious. "With this terrain, I'll never find a good place."

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a small island that was only in sight for an instant. It was almost completely hidden by other much larger islands. It was complete a small rock over hang. "This is a perfect place to hide, he'll never find me here," Masuto thought aloud. He looked at the timer to see how much time he had spent hiding. It had been about seven and a half minutes.

He just sat there not really thinking about anything. It was a warm, sunny day without a cloud in sight. A cool breeze blew across the landscape causing Masuto to drift asleep. He began to dream about what he thinks time travel would look like. He was back on earth in a racing vehicle that had some modifications on it.

He was in the driver seat and began to speed up. In the real world, he can't drive and isn't tall enough to see over the steering wheel. He just kept hitting the gas. A monitor next him displayed June 5, Age 449, about 300 years ago. As the car reached 172 miles per hour, lightning was coming from the sides of it. A blue portal opened just in front of the car. Suddenly the road became dirt, he was transported into the past.

He got out of the car and realized that he was dreaming. Deciding to play along, he took to the air. Eventually, he came to a city that he recognized, it was South City. However, it was much smaller then what he was used to. He landed to check it out. Before he could do anything else, swarms of beasts attacked the city led by a Namekian.
