Chapter 3
A few days had passed since we were told of the things we had become. Since the passage through the last portal we went through had made these alterations to our bodys. During that time, we became familiar with all of the Z-fighters, with the exception of Tien and Yamcha, who were always on the move. Goku and Piccolo decided to train us in this time as well as splitting us into two separate groups. The first group that went with Goku was composed of me, Shalahk-Ra, and Cicilio . The second group, guided by Piccolo, included Gaige, Chalkie, and Stain. Honestly I felt bad for them. On one of our training days, Goku had taught us how to control our energy, as it had increased tenfold following the transformation. It was shockingly easy to master; even Shalahk and Cicilio were able to maintain this control within the same time that I did.
"Next I'll be teaching you all how to fly, and considering how easy you were able to complete the last trail, this should be quite easy for you. Now, to fly, all you must is focus the energy, you've learned to control, on pushing yourself skyward.", Goku explained. I did as was instructed and, without even realizing it, I shot up ten feet into the air! This was an amazing concept to me, I've begun to learn so many new things faster than I ever have been able to before. Goku had already taught us the basics of martial arts so that we could later hold our own, considering we get into a fight with a powerful adversary. Upon learning how to hone our power, we gained the ability to shoot off a burst of energy; something Goku called the Ki blast. We first saw Goku and Piccolo demonstrate this technique upon arrival through the portal.
"Alright guys, now that you've learned how to both fight and use your ki, I want you all to spar so that we can determine who is the strongest of you three!", Goku announced suddenly.
"Wait, REALLY!? The three of us fight to see who the strongest is!? I'm so up for this!", said Shalahk, barely containing her overwhelming excitement and enthusiasm.
"Get into fighting positions now!" Goku shouted. As all three of us jumped back and got into our positions, there was a gust of wind that blew between us following a seemingly long five seconds. Shalahk jolted forward and threw a punch towards Cicilio, catching him off guard as he was expecting the first punch from me This was my chance! As I let out a yell of great exertion, I threw a punch at Shalahk and a kick that was followed up towards Cicilio ribs. Shalahk was able to dodge my punch, but Cicilio took my kick hard, making him gasp for air briefly. Shalahk came down with a powerful kick to my jaw that sent me flying into a nearby boulder. I lay in the rubble, recovering from this attack while also evaluating the situation. So far I've noticed that Shalahk is fast, much more so than I had anticipated, so I'll in turn need to be a little faster. Cicilio had likely underestimated us, taking our hits without any sort of preparation having been made, but I have a feeling he is gonna get his bearings together very soon. I sense an immense energy emanating from him, especially his palm, something I should watch out for in the future. I got up, now deciding to fly up and attack with a bone crushing punch at Shalahk at the same time that Cicilio came in with a punch as well, using the hand that had the energy developing within it. Originally this was projected towards Shalahk, but once I knocked her out of the way, I was gonna receive the blow. Upon collision, an unbelievable amount of pain washed over me and I doubled over as I was blinded by a white-blueish light. I saw immediately that this wasn't gonna end very well for me.
