Last time Earth's warriors all started their separate trainings to prepare for the Saiyans. Goku began his descent down Snake Way while Gohan began his survival training with Piccolo. Elsewhere, the others began training under Kami. During the training, however, both Potat and Gohan transformed into Great Apes due to the moon. The former being defeated when his tail was cut off and the latter being stopped with the moon being destroyed.
"Hyaa!" Krillin yelled as he fired off multiple Ki blasts at Potat. The young half-Saiyan dodged all of the blasts rather easily, surprising no one. They all knew how strong the boy was and were using him as a way to see how far they had come. "I still can't hit you, Potat." Krillin told the Saiyan before swinging his arms down. The previously fired Ki blasts changed directions immediately and collided with Potat's back. The blast caught him off guard and caused him to drop to his knees. "But, even if I can't hit you the first time, there's always another way." The former monk told his friend as he extended his hand for Potat to take.
"That was amazing. I didn't even think they could change direction." Potat said as he got up off the ground. "Once I learn to fully control my Ki better, you have to teach me that trick." He said excitedly as the duo walked over to the Lookout.
"Hey, you're getting there." Krillin reassured the young child. "It takes a while to learn to control your Ki properly. In fact, it took Master Roshi almost 50 years to master his Kamehameha. You'll get it eventually, but first, I think you need some new clothes." He said, pointing out the fact that since Potat turned into an Ape he had only been wearing spandex shorts for the past three months.
Potat rubbed the back of his neck due to his embarrassment. "If you say so, I thought this was pretty comfortable. This way I don't have that clunky armor restricting my movements." He said, showing off his improved movements. "So, who do we ask for clothes?"
Krillin stopped in his tracks upon the question. "Well, I never thought about that. Maybe Mr. Popo knows where they keep extra clothes." He said as they walked down a hallway. They eventually stumbled their way down the halls and into the throne room in the lookout.
Kami was sitting in the room when he noticed the two entering. "What service can I be for you two?" he asked kindly, having already heard their conversation.
Krillin, not realizing that Kami was in the room immediately became nervous. "So-sorry for intruding Kami." He said honestly. "We were looking for Mr. Popo and accidently stumbled into this room. We'll be leaving now." He said as he started to push Potat out of the room.
"Wait." Kami said calmly, causing Krillin to stop in his tracks. "Potat come here please." He said, motioning with his finger for the child to come to him. "From what I've heard, you're in need of some clothes. Well, I'm going to get you some." He said kindly, a smile crossing his face. "Now, is there anything specific you want?"
"No Kami." The child replied while shaking his head. "Oh, actually, just something that can be agile. And could I have some weighted clothing like Goku had?" He asked the guardian of Earth.
"That's all? I'll have it ready in a few seconds." The elder guardian said as he raised his fingers in front of Potat. A small beam leapt off of Kami's fingertips and struck Potat. Immediately, clothes started to materialize around his body. The new outfit looked exactly like Krillin's only with a few differences. Instead of being an orange-red like color, it was instead maroon. His wristbands and shoes were black instead of blue and he had a black weighted undershirt. "Is this good for you? If you look on the back, I also gave you my symbol since you are my student."
Potat looked his new outfit over, making sure everything was fine with it. "It's perfect." He said while performing a front flip. "I can move easily in it, but there's resistance because of the weight. But, why did you put 'Kami' on my back?" The child asked kindly.
Kami laughed at the question since he forgot to explain it. "Well, usually when you train under a teacher you wear their symbol on your clothing to show what school you came from. I don't usually do it, but since you've never had a teacher before I thought it was fitting."
"Thank you. I'll wear it always." He said as he ran out of the room with Krillin right behind him.
Kami silently laughed at the boy's enthusiasm. "Maybe not all Saiyans are blood thirsty warriors. First Goku and now this boy. Perhaps we do have a chance." He thought before standing up to head outside. "Even if we win, there is no guarantee that I'll still be around. But, I must look out for this world even if it means the end of my life." He thought as he walked outside and into the sunlight. Once outside, he watched what everyone was doing. Yamcha was working on his concentration and strength by balancing on one finger while distractions were all around him. Tien was practicing his multiform technique and Chiaotzu and Master Roshi were practicing their Ki attacks. Elsewhere, Potat and Krillin were sparing again.
Seeing Kami walk outside captured Yamcha's attention. He quickly pushed off of his index finger and performed a front flip in midair before landing on his feet. The former bandit then walked over to Kami and began talking to him. "Kami, what's the point of bringing us here? You haven't taught us anything new at all!" He demanded, Kami just stared back at him, allowing him to finish his statement. "Everything we've done up here could be done back on Earth. We want to become stronger than what Goku was when he trained here!"
Krillin, noticing what was happening stopped his spar and joined Yamcha in his conversation. "Ya, Kami, we want the same training as Goku!"
Kami listened to what these two had to say. He stared at them for a minute before speaking. "Please listen carefully then." He said as he motioned for everyone else to join him. Soon the others were standing all around him, so he began. "I taught, Goku," he said before pausing. "Absolutely nothing! That's what I taught him." He told everyone to their surprise. The group of warriors all fell over due to the shock that Kami had nothing to do with Goku becoming so strong.
"Hey, what did he mean by that!" Yamcha demanded as he walked up to Mr. Popo. He didn't like the answer he received and now wanted a different response.
"Who knows?" Yajirobi said, joining in on the conversation. "If Korin wasn't forcing me to come, I would have never shown up." He explained as he grabbed into his snack bag and pulled out a cookie. "Besides, the food isn't that good here."
Yamcha paid no attention to Yajirobi's comments as he continued talking. "Mr. Popo, we all know Goku received special training up here before. Why can't you tell us what it was?" He asked, starting to grow impatient with how they were ignored for the past three months.
"Come on, we're just trying to get stronger! That's all." Krillin added as he jumped forward.
Mr. Popo opened his mouth to begin talking. As he did so, all the fighters moved in closer to listen better. "To be truly strong, you must know yourself and your enemy." He explained wisely to the group. "Once you know this, all will become clear."
The whole group looked stumped by his response. "What does he mean by that?" Master Roshi asked as he rubbed his chin. "I know that I'm one of the strongest people on Earth and am great with the ladies." He said as he started to think about all of the women on Earth.
Potat looked at him, somewhat confused by his antics. "No, I think he means more along the lines of knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are when compared to the enemy." He said, remembering back to when his father told him to always protect his tail. "It's like how I know if my tail gets grabbed, I lose all my strength. If I focus on strengthening my weaknesses and finding a weakness on someone else that I can expose then I'll become stronger."
Mr. Popo smiled at the child's answer. "Close, young Potat, but you're still missing a part of it. Eventually, you'll figure it out however." He said, only for Yamcha to get in his face.
"Don't give us that rubbish!" The former bandit yelled at the genie. "How could we not know ourselves, I know myself better that anybody!"
Mr. Popo was unfazed by Yamcha's attitude. "Oh, is that a fact? So, you know yourself do you?" He said before pausing. "How come you don't know that you are weak?"
This comment only managed to upset Yamcha even more. "Oh really! Would you like to prove that!?" He asked as he raised his fists as he tried to get into Mr. Popo's face.
It didn't work however as Mr. Popo pushed Yamcha away just by pushing on the bandit's nose. "All of you, follow me." He said as he walked back inside of the Lookout. "All of you have improved since you first arrived, however, it still isn't enough. Remember, Potat explained how he was nowhere close in strength to these other Saiyans. You are all close to his level of strength now, so you must have realized that you are still no match for them."
"Wait, did bring us all the way into the Lookout just to tell us we'll have no chance at beating the Saiyans?" Krillin asked as they continued further into the lookout.
"Of course not." Mr. Popo replied as they reached a certain door. "This room is the reason." He said, opening the door. The room was dimly lit and there was nothing in it except a giant pendulum in the center, hanging from the roof.
"What is this place?" Tien asked as they all walked into the room. Everyone was shocked by how it looked. They knew the Lookout was huge, but they didn't know that it housed so many different rooms.
"This is a room where the past, present and future all meet." Mr. Popo said as he motioned them towards the center of the room. "Goku spent most of his time here training in this very room. The room will send you across time to specific places." He explained as he motioned for them to stand underneath the pendulum. "Whoever stands under this will be transported back in time. I hope you'll all ready."
Tien had a huge grin across his face once he heard that Goku had trained in this room. "If Goku can handle something like this, then so can I" He thought as he walked under the center. "I think we all are ready. Let's do this!" He said excitedly.
The whole group walked underneath the pendulum except for Yajirobi and Master Roshi. "You two aren't coming?" Potat asked innocently.
"Listen, you can call me a lot of things, but I'm no guinea pig!" The fat ronin explained as he sat down and started to eat. "I'll... see you... guys when... you return." He said between bites of food.
Master Roshi just stared at the group before answering. "Mystical items aren't my specialty boys. I'll continue training here while you all enjoy time travel." He said to the group.
Mr. Popo was ready to continue with whoever planned to train here. "Everyone who plans to enter, please step onto the circle under the pendulum." Once the five warriors did so, he continued. "Gentlemen, I can only recommend that you see with your heart. Now, close your eyes. When you open them again, you'll be on the Saiyan's planet in the past."
The group closed their eyes as a strange beam of light shot out of the pendulum. Soon, the group of five were covered in the light and all of them felt a strange sensation wash over their bodies. Soon after, the group reawakened on a distant planet just like Mr. Popo told them they would. They looked around and saw everything in ruins. The buildings were all destroyed, dead bodies filled the streets, it seemed like a great war had just occurred here.
"Where are we?" Chiaotzu asked the group as he floated up into the air. "Do you really think we're on the Saiyan's home world?"
"I don't know, but there seems to have been a huge fight here." Yamcha said as he faced Potat. "Hey, squirt, does any of this look like your home world?"
Potat shook his head as he took in the appearance of the land. "I don't know. I've never seen my Planet Vegeta before. My dad had told me that it was destroyed by an asteroid collision when he was a kid. It does look to be around the time that a war occurred on Planet Vegeta however, so this could be the place." He explained to the group as he started to walk deeper into the city.
"You never saw your own home planet?" Tien asked, feeling somewhat bad for the child. He too never saw the place that he was born at and never knew his parents. In fact, the only role models he had growing up were his former martial arts masters. "Well, wherever we are, it seems that the party is over. It's so quiet now."
As the group walked through the destroyed city, a body fell off of a building and landed in front of the group. "Look, it's a Saiyan!" Yamcha exclaimed as they all took a closer look. It was in fact the body of a Saiyan because of the tail that it had.
"Well, not anymore." Krillin added, pointing out the fact that it was just a corpse of a Saiyan now. Just then, the group heard a noise around them and wondered what it was. "You guys heard that too, right?"
"It could be anything. Let's just explore the city." Tien said, trying to keep everyone calm.
"To think, my own people would do this to their own home. I know I've never actually seen other Saiyans besides Vegeta, Nappa and my dad, but I've never seen them fight like this." Potat thought as he saw bodies fill the street. "Am I just going to turn into one of them as well? Everyone explained to me how I transformed into an Ape and lost control. Am I just a savage monster?"
Potat was brought out of his deep thoughts by Yamcha. "Man, look at all these Saiyans. Too bad we missed all the action, I would have liked fighting some of them."
"Yeah, Mr. Popo must have been off with his calculations." Tien told the group.
"There should be a few still remaining here." Yamcha replied to the three-eyed warrior. "I say we keep looking around until we find them."
"If we do continue, we should stay in a group incase anything goes wrong." Tien said to everyone. "Also, stay sharp. We don't know what could be out here."
Yamcha didn't seem to be worried at all. "You don't have to worry about me, I can defeat a Saiyan with one arm tied behind my back." He said confidently.
Unknown to them, two Saiyan warriors were hidden nearby. The duo had been watching them since they first appeared on the planet. "Hmmm. Their combined power level is only 2510." The shorter man said. He was dressed just like Raditz was when he arrived on Earth, but the top of his head was bald.
His partner was dressed exactly the same way, but had hair that ran down past his neck. "And they want to fight some Saiyans? The fools." He said to the shorter man.
"Well then, we shouldn't keep them waiting. Let's go have some fun." The shorter man said before they both disappeared.
"Maybe we should head back." Tien said after the group had been walking around the city for hours without any signs of life. "I don't think we're going to find any action here."
"But, how do we get back?" Krillin asked, no one thought to ask when they first agreed to train in the pendulum room. "Mr. Popo never explained how to get back."
Yamcha however was still as confident as ever. "Maybe we can't find any because they're too afraid of us."
Potat didn't like where Yamcha was going with his statement. "I'll let you know right now, Saiyans are not afraid of fighting. My father fought to the death when he arrived on Earth, even rejecting my help just so he could have a good fight. If there are any here they would be attacking."
Just as Potat finished his sentence, an energy blast flew out of a building and struck him in the back. Turning around, the group saw the two Saiyans standing in the doorway of a building. "My, what do we have here, Shorty?" The taller Saiyan asked his partner.
The shorter man laughed before answering. "It looks like a group of weaklings, Scarface." He said before facing the group. "We couldn't help but overhear that you all wanted to battle some Saiyans, well we're here now." Shorty said as he fired another Ki blast at Potat.
Potat jumped out of the way, dodging the Ki blast and tried to take aim at Shorty with his own. Shorty however was too fast and disappeared from sight before Potat could find him. As Potat was busy searching for Shorty, he was struck by two Ki blasts in the back by Scarface. Potat quickly dropped down a hole, defeated by the two Saiyans.
"P-Potat!" Krillin yelled out as his friend's body fell down the hole, not to be seen again. "See, I warned you that these Saiyans are strong." He said to the others before trying to sense for the two Saiyans. He managed to sense them coming towards Chiaotzu, but it was too late to warn him.
The two Saiyans appeared out of thin air and struck Chiaotzu in the chest with both their knees. Chiaotzu bent over, out of breath and gasping for air. He tried to lift his hand up to fire a dodan ray, but the Saiyans didn't give him any time.
"What do you think, you're doing there?" Scarface asked as he grabbed Chiaotzu by his head. "You weren't planning on attacking now, were you? Because then I would have to get mad and then things would get ugly." He said as he tightened his grip on Chiaotzu's head.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien yelled out as he could only watch as his friend was being tormented. "Leave him alone!" He said as he dashed forward towards Scarface, ready to strike the Saiyan while his back was turned.
Tien's attack was blocked however when his fist was caught by Shorty. "You weren't going to strike someone with their back turned were you?" He asked menacingly as he countered Tien's punch with his own to Tien's side. Tien dropped to one knee due to the force of that one punch. "Get up, I know you have more in you than that. I mean, you guys were asking to fight some Saiyans." He said as he went to kick Tien, only to have his foot caught by Tien. Shorty smiled at this act. "Good, I guess there is some fight in you after all."
"Shorty, you don't mind if I finish our little friend off early, do you?" Scarface asked his partner.
"Go right ahead." He replied before adding on. "But, I get to kill these three." Shorty said with a grin on his face.
Scarface quickly tossed Chiaotzu up into the air before firing off a strong energy beam. The beam managed to strike Chiaotzu directly, killing him on the spot and causing his body to fall down into the hole.
"Chiaotzu!" Yamcha yelled out as the smallest member of their group was killed. "Quick, Krillin, we need to help out Tien." He said as he rushed towards Shorty. "Wolf fang fist!" He yelled as his movements became swift like a hunting wolf. Yamcha lunged at Shorty with his fists.
Shorty, seeing the attack coming, kicked Tien away from him as he blocked every attack with ease. "Is this all you've got." He said, grabbing Yamcha's fist with ease. "If it is, then you should be disappointed in how weak you actually are." He said as he tossed Yamcha backwards and into Krillin and Tien.
The trio all stood up as they each prepared their signature attacks. The trio all launched off consecutive Kamehameha, Spirit Ball and Tri-Beam Cannons at the two Saiyans. The power of the blasts caught the two off guard and they were caught in the blast.
"Did, did we actually do it?" Krillin asked, unsure if it was actually over. "Did we actually win?"
"I think so, Krillin." Yamcha said as he wiped sweat away from his forehead. "Man, those two were strong. Chiaotzu and Potat had no chance at all." He said before they all heard the Saiyans laughing.
"Wh-what was that?" Krillin asked, hoping that it was just his imagination. However, before he could get an answer, he was pulled through the ground by one of the Saiyans.
"Krillin!" The two remaining warriors called out. Their cry to their friend was drowned out however by his screams of pain from the beating by the two Saiyans.
"They got Krillin." Tien said as his body tensed up. "And they'll get us too if we aren't careful."
Down beneath the hole where Potat fell into, the young half-Saiyan awoke from his surprise attack. "Uhh, where am I?" He asked himself as he clutched his head. After falling, he had hit his head on a nearby rock and it had started to bleed. He looked around his surroundings. But all he saw was rubble from what looked like a war. "The Saiyans!" He yelled out as he remembered about the duo that attacked him. He quickly jumped to his feet as he noticed the lifeless bodies of Chiaotzu and Krillin laying near him. "What have they done!" He yelled as anger built up inside of him.
Potat quickly flew up out of the hole, only to see Yamcha and Tien putting everything they had into a final stand. The duo put all of their remaining energy into consecutive Spirit Balls and Tri-Beam Cannons until both were too weak to move. The attacks did nothing to the Saiyans however and the duo were then quickly killed before anything else could happen.
Seeing the last of his friends killed set Potat off. He quickly flew above the two Saiyans lifted his hands above his head. Ki started to charge up in his hands until he swung them down towards the duo. "Volcanic Barrage!" He yelled as hundreds of Ki blasts exploded out of his hands just like molten rock flying out of a volcano.
"Well, one of them still has a little fight left in him." Shorty said as they braced themselves for the impact. "Should we make it interesting?"
"Let's." His partner replied. The duo decided not to dodge the attack and instead took it head on. Dust kicked up because of the explosion of all of the Ki blasts and Potat couldn't see a thing.
Potat quickly flew down towards the ground and awaited for the two Saiyans. "I know you're out there. An attack like that shouldn't do that much damage." He said calmly. Potat knew his strength was nowhere near these two Saiyans, but he was going to continue fighting until he couldn't any longer.
Hearing no response, Potat started to get nervous. He didn't know when the duo would appear, but he knew it would be when he least expected it. He stood there for a few minutes before planning his next move. Not thinking, he decided to try the same attack again, only to have the Saiyans appear from under the ground and strike him in his chin with their fists.
The blows sent the half-Saiyan flying backwards and landing on his back. He slowly got up onto his feet before stumbling back to his knees. His vision had become blurry now due to hitting his head again and he had a hard time standing up. He could only watch as the two Saiyans moved closer to him, knowing that he couldn't fight back at all. "Why, why do you two act this way?" He asked them, wanting to know why they were so cruel.
"Haven't you ever met a Saiyan before kid?" Shorty asked as he charged up an energy attack. "This is how all Saiyans are. We're nothing more than a warrior race meant on becoming the strongest no matter the cost. If it came down to it, I'd kill my own partner to become stronger."
Potat coughed up a little blood due to his injuries and then started to talk. "I've met plenty of Saiyans. I'm one myself." He told them, only to be laughed at by the duo.
"You, a Saiyan? Good joke, kid" Scarface said as he fired an energy blast into Potat's left arm. "You look nothing like a Saiyan. No tail, no armor, the only thing is the color of your hair and eyes."
"I am a Saiyan!" Potat yelled, frustrated that they didn't believe him. "My armor was destroyed and I like it better without it. My tail, however was cut off."
Hearing this actually caught the Saiyans' attention. "Scarface, we have a renegade in front of us."
"Yes, maybe we should teach him a lesson, Shorty." Scarface replied before the duo both thrust their fists through Potat's chest, killing him on the spot.
A bright light covered the five bodies of the Earth's warriors before they all reawakened back inside the pendulum room. "Am, am I dead?" Potat asked as he looked around the room.
"No, I think we're back at Kami's Lookout." Yamcha said as he looked around as well.
"So, how'd you all do?" Yajirobi asked. "All it looked like to me was that you were all standing there emotionless like zombies."
No one answered Yajirobi due to them all being in shock from their adventure. "So, we aren't dead?" Krillin asked no one in particular as he felt his body.
"No, your physical bodies stayed here while with the help of this room, your spirits made dream bodies which they used to travel to the dream like past." Mr. Popo explained to the group.
"How did you do!" Yajirobi yelled it this time, frustrated that no one answered him the first time. Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to answer the question.
"They all did excellent, Yajirobi." Kami said, answering for the group. "They all fought valiantly against a very strong opponent." He said before becoming even more serious. "However, the two Saiyans on their way now are more than twice as strong as the ones you faced today."
"Twice as strong?" Everyone but Potat asked back. They all received a reassuring nod from Potat, proving that Kami wasn't exaggerating.
"I understand if any of you would like to leave now. Believe me, there would be no dishonor in doing so." Kami told the group after seeing their reactions.
"No way am I quitting." Yamcha said to Kami. "Even if it means training in this room for twenty-four hours a day, I'll be ready for when they arrive." He said, as the others all agreed with him. Potat however wasn't as quick to respond, but no one noticed it.
"Now, let's head back there again!" Tien said as he got ready to head back. Everyone but Potat got back onto the circle and prepared to leave. "Potat, you're not coming this time?" Tien asked once he noticed that Potat wasn't with them.
Needing to think up of an excuse, Potat made up the first thing that he could. "Well, I need to go to the bathroom and I don't want to make any of you wait for me. So while that's happening, I'll train at the Lookout." He said, lying to everyone in the room.
Kami, however, wasn't fooled by Potat and wondered what must have happened back on Planet Vegeta. "What happened to you, Potat? What exactly did you see when you traveled to the past."
Elsewhere, Gohan was still surviving on his own. The boy had begun getting used to surviving by himself ever since he transformed into a Giant Ape. Since that day, Gohan had started to control his Ki to the point where he could fire small energy blasts that were strong enough to start small fires.
While Earth's warriors were off training in the pendulum room, Gohan was doing his daily routine. The young half-Saiyan started every day by collecting nuts and berries from the nearby trees which he would then eat by himself. Today was different however in the since that Gohan would have something different for breakfast. While enjoying his bowl of berries, Gohan felt as if someone was watching him. When he looked around, he noticed the dinosaur from earlier in his training staring right at him. "Oh, hi there. You're the same one from before." The child said, recognizing the dinosaur by the marks on its face.
"Roarrr!" The dinosaur yelled as it lunged at Gohan. This time, the child wasn't scared and instead jumped away from the dinosaur with ease. Gohan watched as the dinosaur crashed into the ground once again, failing to eat Gohan for its meal. Instead of running away, Gohan pulled out the sword he was given by Piccolo and sliced down on the dinosaur's tail. The blade sliced through it cleanly, giving Gohan a nice big piece of meat for breakfast.
Gohan stared at his sword which had a nice thick piece of dinosaur attached to it. "Oh boy, something other than meat today." Gohan said as he looked at the dinosaur. "Hopefully your tail will grow back." He then walked off with the piece of meat on his sword.
The young boy grabbed a few pieces of wood and started a fire with a Ki blast from his hand. Gohan then took his time cooking the meat properly before eating it. Unknown to the boy, Piccolo was watching him from afar.
The demon had a smirk on his face as he watched the young boy proceed along with his training faster than he expected. "The boy seems to be handling this well. He's far exceeded my expectations, in what I thought would take him six months actually took a little more than three months." Piccolo then folded his arms as if he finally decided on something. "Well then, it's settled. Starting tomorrow, his true training begins." He said as he flew off to get some last minute training by himself before he had to start training Gohan. "Maybe this boy is extremely special when it comes to fighting." He thought to himself.
On Snake Way, however, not everything was going well for Goku. The warrior had spent all of his time running down the lengthy passage since the day he died. Despite this, it seemed as though he still hadn't made it that far down Snake Way.
"Phew." Goku said as he took a breath. "I guess when someone tells you that it's one million kilometers long, they aren't exaggerating." He said as he sat down to catch his breath. "It's funny, even though I'm dead, I still get hungry. I hope King Kai has plenty of food at his place." He said, standing up and stretching. "Well, that was long enough. Time to get going." Goku said as he started to sprint down the pathway.
As he was running a new idea came to Goku. "Why don't I just jump across the gaps, it'll save so much time." He thought as he looked at the distance between the ledges. Deciding to try it, Goku started to jump across the gaps. This worked out as he managed to reduce the distance he needed to run. However, after a while Goku started to get sloppy and accidently missed a ledge, causing him to slip off of Snake Way. Immediately after his foot fell off, the clouds surrounding Snake Way formed hands as they started to reach for his body.
Goku grabbed onto the side of Snake Way to keep himself from falling into Hell. Unfortunately, Goku grabbed onto the spikes that line all the way down the pathway, causing pain to run through his body and make him let go. Goku felt his whole body start to be pulled down and decided to do a last resort effort for himself.
Quickly, Goku cupped his hands as he pulled them back towards his body. "Ka.. Me.. Ha.. Me.. Ha!" He yelled as he thrusted his hands forward and released the energy wave. The force of the Kamehameha pushed Goku back up and over the edge of Snake Way and back onto the pathway. Once he was able to relax, Goku wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought about what happened. "Phew. That was close. If I fell down there, then there would be no way back up. I guess I'll just have to be more careful from now on." Goku said as he started running back down the pathway.
A/N: Well, chapter 3 is finished sooner than I expected. This is a shorter chapter than the other two. I don't want to go too far into the trainings yet so I stopped it where I did. Potat will have a little personal struggle over seeing how all Saiyans on Planet Vegeta acted. Potat had only known Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz. Out of all of them, he really only knows his dad and just thought that Nappa and Raditz were forced to do what they did. I changed Gohan's six months to three months for a reason. Unfortunately, I don't really know what to do with Goku until he reaches King Kai's planet which will either be next chapter or chapter 5.
TheRealDeal44: No, they will not train under 10x gravity. As this chapter points out, Potat knows nothing about his people or planet.
Next time, Gohan's training begins to get serious as Piccolo isn't holding back at all. On Kami's Lookout, not everything is going as well for the other half-Saiyan who is struggling with his own personal problems. While all of this is going on, Goku continues his trek down Snake Way in hope of meeting King Kai.
