Chapter 3: A Visit in A Dream and The Hermit

AN: Hey guys I managed to get this done earlier than expected due to the fact that I decided to make it shorter than I originally planned so let's just get into it.

I walked into the apartment about ten minutes after I left my training grounds and looked over to see Compa watching the TV which had a news report over monster attacks getting more frequent. It ended with a statement that everybody should avoid leaving Planeptune unless they were on Guild work.

"Oh hey Crim-Crim your back. Why do you look like you were on fire?" Compa asked with a concerned look.

"Oh I just stopped by the place where I got my sword to see about getting a custom grip and a small explosion caught me a little on fire but I'm not burnt or anything." I lied.

"I should still check just in case. I have been taught a little bit about burns in class." She said in a concerned tone.

"Um okay better safe than sorry." I replied.

"Alright just take your shirt off then." She told me.

A little embarrassed I took off my sword, hoodie and shirt and let her check me.

"Hmm your right no burns on you so you should be fine." She said after checking me over though I noticed a slight blush on her face.

"Cool." I said sliding my shirt back on. "Well got anything planned for dinner?" I questioned.

"Yes it should be done soon. I made some soba." She answered with a bright smile.

"Sweet!" I exclaimed. "What the heck is soba?" I thought. Well I'm about to find out.

Time skip 2 hours later.

After the soba was finished and we ate it (turned out to just be noodle soup) we had taken our showers and were already off to bed since both of us would be busy doing Guild work (and training) and nurse classes and I was already passing out.

"Hey can you hear me Mr. Saiyan." A familiar voice said to me.

I opened my eyes to find myself in white void and looked around confused.

"Hey long time no see." The voice said again and I turned around to see Serene smiling.

"It's you." I said a little shocked at seeing her again.

"Yep I figured I should explain more and give you a bit of help." She said her tone joyful.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Well first off I should explain your physical change. You changed because your powers needed a stronger body otherwise you wouldn't be able to handle it so I gave you a body similar to that of Goku's since your powers are that of a saiyan plus I figured you'd like to look cooler." She said answering that question.

"Well you weren't wrong about that I do look cooler but what did you mean by help?" I asked.

"Well at the rate you're going it will be years before you can hope to get close to Goku's level in the saiyan saga so I decided to give somethings that will help you get stronger." She replied.

"Like?"

"You'll see when you wake up." She answered.

"Okay I got a couple of more to ask." I said.

"Shoot." She said.

"Well I noticed I'm actually getting control faster than I thought and wanted to see if you accelerated how fast my body grows." I explained.

"I did due to the fact you have limited time before the trouble begins to happen." She answered.

"Speaking of that how long till that happens is my other question." I said getting straight to the point.

"Hmm about two weeks I'd say." She answered with a frown.

"TWO WEEKS?! That short of time till I have to be ready?" I said shocked.
"Yep but don't worry you won't fight any villains that would require you to use your ki abilities to fight most likely." She said but it didn't exactly reassure me.

"Okay last question. Should I expect more visits anytime soon?" I asked.

"Yep but not till after trouble starts. OK bye." She said as my visit began to fade.

Late at night

I sat up processing the dream. "I have two weeks to learn to properly fight her little gifts better help." I thought a little worried.

I then noticed a small backpack on the table and blinked. I reached out and grabbed quickly opening it. Inside were a number of items that looked like those capsules from Dragon Ball Z.

"Capsules huh. Better open them tomorrow." I thought zipping the backpack up and placing it on the floor.

I laid back down and looked at the night sky out the window and began to feel drowsy and son found sleep.

Skip to the open field

"Well let's see what I got from her." I said pulling a capsule out clicking it and tossing it a few feet away from me.

A puff of smoke came out and after it cleared I noticed a familiar looking object and my jaw dropped.

"No way." I said in awe due to the fact it was the ship Goku took the Namek and realized what it could have.

I quickly walked up to it and went inside and saw its interior was just like how it looked in the anime but most importantly the machine in the center. I saw an instruction book that had a note inside.
"Dear Julio, as you can see I got you an artificial gravity room to help you get stronger but I strongly recommend that you hold of till you can actually fire ki blasts and create an aura since it could crush you even at 2 times gravity, from Serene, PS it can go up to 5000 times normal gravity." I read out loud from the note.

"Sweet this will definitely help. Time to check the others out." I said stepping out of the pod to check the rest of the capsules.

In them I found some items that included training equipment, weights, weighted training clothes I couldn't even lift and a watch that looked pretty techy.

I turned on the watch and was surprised to see a small light pop out.

"Hello I am Yen and I am your personal assistant that will help you learn various techniques to help you fight in battle using ki along with other functions that will be helpful." It said in a female voice before switching to another screen with various things on it.

Reading through them I saw techniques, party and skills which got me a bit excited at how I'm going to be able learn actual techniques from the show. As looked through the techniques I saw Kamehameha, Kaioken, Spirit Bomb and other recognizable techniques.

"Sweet I better get started on training so I can actually start using them." I said setting a program that said firing ki blasts since I was struggling with it.

"Things just got a hell of a lot more exciting for me." I thought as I started forming a blast in my hand.

One week later

A week had past and my training results were really showing in the fact that I was able to fire energy waves, form an aura, sense energy and even fly for about a minute. Thins for Planeptune actually got worse since attacks got frequent to the point Compa's nursing lessons were suspended till they started to die down. Compa had started joining me on quests more often due to it and I had even learned some skills to use in battle but my training becoming more frequent to the point Compa wanted to know that I was doing so I showed her my energy control.

She was shocked to the point she didn't say anything but commented saying it was really cool and it explained why I came back injured a lot. She did want me to tone it down since my last injury left me with a broken wrist but as it turns out I heal really fast and it was fixed overnight.

However, while my energy control was progressing greatly my martial arts skill was not and it was getting clear I was sloppy when it came to my fighting skill when Yen commented I wasn't skilled. So I decided it was time to find a martial arts teacher but according to Compa there was none she knew of in Planeptune but I could ask around just in case.

"Well so far none." I said out loud while strolling around in Planeptune. "I need to find someone otherwise I'm screwed if I fight someone with the same abilities as mine."

I then noticed a familiar man I hadn't seen for a week the man in the cloak and he seemed to be looking at me. We had a silent stare down before he raised a hand and made a gesture that said follow me. I immediately started to since he did after all help me get my sword and maybe he can help me with this. Walking towards a building that looked abandoned I turned towards him.

"Why are we here?" I questioned.

"In here." He said pointing towards am opening in the wall and sliding into it and disappearing and I quickly followed him into it.

It was completely black until a light came on and I covered my eyes from the suddenness of it but when I uncovered them I was shocked to see a large training ground and three people standing in the center. One was the man in the cloak while the other two were Sayer and the huge man from the shop which shocked me.

"Julio Shinku it's time for your real training." The man in the cloak said throwing off his cloak revealing an old yet fit man about 6'2 in a white gi. Sayer tore off his suit revealing a purple and blue gi. The huge man tore of his shop outfit to reveal a green and black gi.

I should probably explain how they look exactly. The old man had gray hair that fell above his ears and gray eyes while Sayer had magenta hair that covered his left eye while his right eye was revealed to be a dark brown he was also about 5'5 in terms of height and the huge man was bald with icy blue eyes.

"What do you mean 'real training'?" I asked cautiously.

"Fight me and I shall explain." The old man replied with a serious tone.

"Well first can I get names?" I asked getting in a fighting stance (imagine Goku's from Super).

"Very well I am Takko, the young man is Sayer which you already know and the tall man is Seer." He replied getting in a fighting stance akin to that of Cell with a silver aura surrounding him.

"Nice to meet you." I said getting nervous because I can sense that he was pretty strong for his age but also because I could tell he's been training his whole life. I could tell I was going to likely lose this match but I wasn't going down easy and show this guy not to take me likely

As I prepared myself I formed my own aura which was a dark blue color and he narrowed his eyes and prepared himself while I did the same and shouted "Let's do this," which echoed across the grounds and into the night.

AN: Boy Julio sure has a fight on his hands against Takko huh? Anyway some of you may be thinking things escalated quickly between them but hey I'm sure some of you want the action to hurry up and get started so I'm getting right to it in the next chapter so be ready for that and I am excited because my first fight scene is about to come through.

So the fight itself is more than likely going to take up more than half the chapter and don't expect it to be fast paced it's going to go like how you would expect a fight to go in the original dragon ball and expect the chapter itself to be up by Thursday at the least and Saturday at the most.
