Dragon Ball Nu
Chapter 3
Previously on Dragon Ball Goku, Gohan, and King Kai stepping out of King Yemma's palace they prepare to make it to the realms of the Other World for their training session. The entire party looks with looks of eagerness and excitement to begin their training session together. Piccolo choosing to leave with Dende while Gohan stays with his father and King Kai to train. What fruits will the training with his father bear? Will their training prove to be successful? Find out.
"It's a real shame Piccolo won't be joining us. You know I was hoping to find out just how strong that he has become. I know training with Gohan made him stronger. That is obvious." Goku looking a little disappointed with Piccolo's decision to sit behind on their training session.
"I know Dad. I wish he did decide to come. He doesn't realize just how much in strength he has grown too." Pausing for a brief moment reflecting on their training. "While I don't use my full Super Saiyan 2 power I do use quite a bit of power training with him."
"I have felt his power grow even from Other World. I will also say I have really felt Vegeta's power grow. It isn't surprising, Vegeta is a great warrior and hard worker."
"Yes, Earth does have some great warriors for sure." King Kai smiling and shaking his head in approval. "We should get moving though we only have one day that we can train for and every minute counts. Right Goku?"
Goku taking his hint. "Absolutely, I know what you mean King Kai. Gohan grab on." Goku beginning to focus his energy.
"Yes sir." Gohan knowing just what his father is about to do grabs onto Goku beside King Kai.
"Alright, King Kai to the meeting place we go?" Goku almost ready to use his Instant Transmission technique. King Kai nodding his head in response before the trio disappear from King Yemma's palace into the depths of Other World to begin their training. Appearing in a new location of Other World with rolling grasslands and plenty of room for training. Standing near the location where the three appeared stands another humanoid figure where a tall black hat, gi, and white cape green in skin color and looking similar to Piccolo.
"You got here faster than I thought you would. I figured King Yemma would try to stall longer." Speaking to the group now behind him without flinching or moving from his stance.
"Well Pikkon good to see you too." Goku responding to the figure. "Gohan, son, this is Pikkon he is a great warrior of the Western Galaxy. He actually has been here for a very long time. He actually saved the entire galaxy millions of years ago."
"Nice to meet you. It's an honor." Gohan taking a bow of respect for Pikkon.
Pikkon looking back over his shoulder to notice the young Gohan, then turning around to greet Gohan himself. "So this is the son of Goku. The young man who defeated Cell on Earth a couple of years ago." Taking a bow of respect himself to the young Saiyan. "We should be just a grateful to you for saving the galaxy from that creature. Actually when he first got to the Other World he tried to make a fuss."
"Tried?" Gohan looking confused and very curious about just what the mysterious Pikkon was referring to.
"Well when he started causing too much of a rumble and your Father here tried to step in his strength wasn't quite enough to halt to him completely. So I stepped in."
"Gohan, Pikkon here beat Cell in two punches. He completely put Cell out of commission and then they transported him to a special realm of H.F.I.L." Goku interrupting the conversation. "Pikkon is usually a pretty humble guy. He actually defeated some magically evil creature millions of years ago named Buu."
"Buu?" Gohan looking a little puzzled.
"I defeated a creature named Majin Buu, but not before he caused a lot of destruction and nearly killed all of the Supreme Kais and absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai. If it wasn't for that his power wouldn't had dropped and I wouldn't had been able to defeat him. So I got lucky."
"Pikkon, you still defeated one of the most powerful creatures in the entire universe. No matter the circumstances." King Kai finally speaking up to give his two cents.
"That actually is how your father and I met." Pikkon began speaking up again and referring to his tangle with Cell. "Ever since I have been training some days with your father. He has gotten a lot stronger, and he wanted both of us to train some with you."
"Oh, wow I'm honored. I did actually want to learn some things specifically from you, Dad." Gohan now speaking up. "I want you to teach me the Instant Transmission."
Goku looking upon his son, now almost a full grown man and understanding why his son would want to learn what seemingly became an almost signature technique of his during the final years of his own life. "Alright, Gohan. I will teach it to you. It will take longer than a day, but I can begin teaching you how to learn it on your own. We have a couple other techniques we need to teach you."
"Oh, really? What's that?" Gohan a little surprised from Goku's answer.
"First of all, your father and I both agree we are going to train you rigorously because we have so little time." Pikkon speaking up stern in voice and stature. "I'm sure that is okay with you. To help this process we have special water in Other World we actually had made and brought there that will simulate something like the senzu beans of Earth. Your father and I will also be teaching you how to perform a secret technique taught to your father and I by an alien race here in the Other World. It is called, Metamoran Finger Fusion. Then I personally want to teach you a new way to try to grow in power I personally think will work better for you."
"Like a new technique or fighting style?"
"More like a new method of energy control. I was training your father in it, and thought you may also benefit from this type of training."
"What exactly is it?"
"It is a better way to control your stamina and loss of energy as your progress in a fight. I personally never use transformations of any kind because this method of fighting has made me far stronger. You would be learning to tap into deeper depths of power from your Super Saiyan energies without using the strain of transformation, or the slow but obvious leak in energy and power your race experiences in the state."
"Dad, have you been trying to learn to use it?"
"Well, Gohan, I have been trying to learn it. I will tell you though it is a lot tougher than it sounds. Are you up for it? It'll be a lot of hard training in a short span of time."
"Yes sir." Gohan answering confidently and strong, ready to be pushed to his limits and passed. "What are we going to start with first I guess is my main question."
"Before we start right into training I need to see something from you." Pikkon now looking even more serious than his normal stern looking face. "I need you to show me the depths of your power. Show me all out your strongest state."
"You just said though transformations waste energy." Gohan now looking very puzzled by Pikkon's request.
"I know what I said, but to get a proper gauge of just how much power you have to draw off of I need to see you release it all. It is the only way I know for sure of your true strength."
"Don't worry Gohan, this isn't Earth. It isn't even King Yemma's palace you won't hurt or damage anything out here. Go ahead, show us what you got." Goku smiles to his son, confident he will surprise them all with his show of strength and power.
"Alright." Gohan now taking a wider stance and holding his arms against his body at a right angle. "I guess here I go."
"Before you start. I want you to show me each state, not just jump right to full power." Piikkon interrupts making sure to be specific.
"Alright. Got it." Gohan now slowly raising his energy while letting out a slow growl. "Gahhhhhh." Suddenly flexing his whole body and transforming into a Super Saiyan almost instantly. "So you know this is a Super Saiyan. I'm sure my Dad has shown you this form before."
"Yes, this form is the one with less energy drain, but still has some to be fixed." Pikkon stating. "Now the next stage is what I am curious about your father was trying to achieve it, but decided my method of training may be more useful."
"Well then I won't keep you waiting any longer." Gohan beginning to raise his energy again flexing and letting out a bellow. "HHaaaaaaaaaaa." His power sharply raising along with his growth in muscle and hair standing up on end. Suddenly electricity surround the young man and his energy reaches a final spike. Gohan transforms into his ascended state, Super Saiyan 2. "Well, here it is. Super Saiyan 2 is what I like to call it." Gohan's voice sounding now much more serious and almost angry in tone. Standing completely up and engulfed in flowing bright energy and cracks of lightning.
"Interesting." Pikkon now looking much more curious versus his normally serious demeanor. "This form is definitely different."
What does Pikkon's response mean? What powers does his see for our young hero? Will their training be successful in such a short amount of time? Find out next on Dragon Ball Nu.
