Well, I've returned from my little break, but can any of you guess what I've been doing during the time? I was playing the XenoVerse game again! The first one, since I still have yet to obtain and play the second one. I felt that I should get back in the zone somehow, and what better way to do so than playing the game itself? Of course, I used good old Tyson, because why not? I gotta admit that he's really grown on me. X)

That reminds me... Please under no circumstances should any of you spoil the second game for me! I really don't want to know what happens in it until I've played it first hand. If you could all do me this favor I'd most appreciate it. Though, then again, knowing you guys, you'd probably already keep quiet about it since I've already said I haven't played it yet. If so, then thank you. You guys are the best. :)

And because you're all the best, I decided to bring this chapter back up too! Another mentor training for Tyson, but this time with our favorite green warrior we all know and love, or despise if you're someone else. Enjoy. XD

THE FOLLOWING IS AN ORIGINAL FAN MADE STORY BASED OFF THE XENOVERSE GAME.

XenoVerse: Tyson, the Saiyan Descendant (Continuation)

Chapter 8: Mentor Training #2: Piccolo


-Toki Toki City, the Industrial Sector-

After learning that he was a Saiyan descent, Tyson was still overcome with joy as he was seen running down the trail of the Industrial Sector with a huge open mouth smile on his face as he searched for Krillin, his mentor, so he could tell him the news. But as he ran down the trail, even he still couldn't believe it a little, but he was far too much in joy about it than anything else.

"Oh man, I still can't believe it..." Tyson said to himself. "All this time, all my life, I was part Saiyan! Maybe encountering those other Saiyans when I went to the past earlier was a sign or something. Yeah, that's gotta be it. But still... YAHOOOOO!"

At that moment, Tyson sprinted faster down the trail, and with his new found speed he left a big gust of wind as he went pass other Time Patrol members, surprising them as they watched him run by. "This is the coolest thing ever!" he exclaimed as he suddenly stopped in an open area of the Industrial Sector and shouted in joy toward the sky. "YEAH! HAHA...!"

But at that moment, Krillin was seen coming up from the right of Tyson and was a bit surprised by the sudden burst of joy from him. "Whoa... What's gotten you so excited all of a sudden?" he asked, a confused look on his face, but his question got Tyson's attention as he turned and smiled at his mentor.

"Krillin, you're not gonna believe this." Tyson stated as he ran a little and couple yards from him. "I just recently heard, and get this... Wait for it... Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time stated that I'm actually part Saiyan! How cool is that?!"

But when Krillin heard that, he was shocked. He had no idea that Tyson, the one Trunks asked him to train, was actually part Saiyan. "Gah... You're... a Saiyan?" he asked back, but then he remembered back when they first sparred and how something about Tyson's energy felt familiar like a Saiyan. When he did, he started to calm down and gaze back at Tyson. "Wow... I never would've thought of that. That's uh... quite a surprise."

"I know, right." Tyson replied as Krillin rubbed the back of his head. "I was a bit surprised myself at first, but then I got to thinking how cool it was. Thinking that Goku and Trunks are Saiyans too, and to think I'm one as well makes it amazing. Of course then again, Vegeta is a bit bad, but I'm not like him at all. Thank goodness, right?"

"Uh... Y-Yeah." Krillin replied, chuckling a bit nervously for some reason at the thought of Vegeta. "Hehehehe..."

But as they were talking to themselves, secretly, a strange familiar figure was watching them from behind one of the small buildings around the Industrial Sector, keeping a close eye on Tyson mainly.

"So um, anyway... That whole Saiyan thing aside... I was actually looking for you by the way." Krillin stated, catching Tyson's attention again as he looked down at him.

"Really? Is it for more training or something?" Tyson asked, a confident smile now on his face and he clenched his hands into fists. "Because if it is, I'm so ready for it."

"Well, um, it is training, yes, but not with me exactly." Krillin answered, but that confused Tyson.

"Huh...? Well if I'm training with you, then who?" Tyson asked, but then he noticed the shadowy figure come out from around the building and walked up to him and Krillin.

"Me." the figure said, it's voice, and his appearance shown in the light shown to be none other than Piccolo, giving a serious look at Tyson.

In response, Tyson was shocked. He never would've thought Piccolo would be here. Last time he saw him, Nappa killed him when he tried to protect Gohan. So, seeing him now was quite a shock for him.

"Y-You're... P-Piccolo." Tyson said, trying to calm himself down a bit, while Piccolo took a couple more steps toward him, while Krillin turned around and smiled up at the tall Namekian.

"Were you expecting someone else?" Piccolo asked as he crossed his arms and looked down at the young Saiyan.

"Well, um... uh... N-Not really." Tyson answered as he took a deep breath before looking back up at Piccolo. "I just... wasn't expecting to see you here was all."

"Oh, I see." Piccolo replied before turning his sights at Krillin. "So, this the guy you were talking about, Krillin?"

"Yep, this is the one." Krillin answered before he and Piccolo looked back at Tyson. "This is Tyson."

"Tyson, huh." Piccolo said, which Tyson nod in reply at the sound of his name. But then, Piccolo showed a small smile on his face at him. "Hmph... Who would've thought it be you. Yeah, I remember you now. I wanna thank you for helping Gohan out when he needed it against the Saiyans before."

When Tyson heard that, he was shocked again. He wasn't expecting Piccolo to remember that had happened. "Gah... You... You know about that?" he asked, which Piccolo nod in reply, which surprised him a little more, but then Krillin jumped in on the topic.

"He's not the only one, you know." Krillin stated, catching Tyson's attention as he turned his sight over at him. "Yeah, I remember it clearly now. You really helped us out back there. So really, I should be thanking you too."

"Wow... Heh... T-Thanks." Tyson thanked, smiling embarrassingly now and rubbed the back of his head in response before putting it down. "Though, it's a little weird that you remember that. Earlier you didn't know a thing about me."

"I know what you mean." Krillin replied, crossing his arms and thinking about it more. "It's strange, but somehow the memory just came to me. It's weird."

"Weird or not, doesn't really matter now." Piccolo stated as he grew a serious look again, walked closer towards Tyson, stopping a few feet from him, and looked down at him as he looked up in response. "What does matter is that it happened. And now, it's time I payed you back for it. I'm gonna be giving you some personal training for me. However, my training is a bit...tougher than most. You think you're up for it?"

When Tyson heard that question, he was a bit surprised at first, but then he gave a confident smile back up at Piccolo and nod in reply, feeling ready for his training. "Yeah... You bet I am." he answered as he made fists again. "Besides, if I can handle pure blooded Saiyans, then I can handle this too. This'll be no problem."

"You novice! We ought a go back to the basics if you're gonna act like that!" Piccolo exclaimed, surprising Tyson, but then he smirked down at him. "I'm just kidding. But seriously, I wouldn't get to high and mighty just yet. I still have to test you myself to see if you're capable of my training."

"Oh... I see." Tyson replied, a confident smile grown back on his face. "Either way, I accept the challenge."

"Good... Now, follow me." Piccolo said as he started walking off from Tyson and Krillin, uncrossing his arms too. "I know a good place to train."

"Alright then, lead the way." Tyson replied as he ran after Piccolo, feeling ready to go, while Krillin smiled as he watched them go.

"Best of luck, Tyson!" Krillin exclaimed, hoping his voice would reach Tyson's ears. "And when you're done, I'd like to teach you a new move! A little thanks for before if you know what I mean!"

"Yeah!" Tyson exclaimed back, taking one last look at Krillin before he and Piccolo suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving Toki Toki City and heading out for wherever Piccolo was taking him.

But as they left, Krillin smile slowly disappeared and he had a more worried look on his face as he turned around, looked down at the ground, and let out a small sigh. "Oh boy... Now I can only hope Piccolo doesn't kill him with his training." he said to himself, crossing his arms too. "His training can be a bit... brutal. At least that's what Gohan told me."


-Wasteland, Planet Earth-

Where Tyson and Piccolo were, they reappeared in the same type of Wasteland where Tyson fought Jerald and Frost before, but the layout was a little different, but close to the same in his opinion. At that moment, Tyson took a quick look at the area before smirking confidently back at Piccolo, who slowly grew a smirk too and crossed his arms at the young Saiyan.

"Alright, we should be far enough from civilization now." Piccolo stated as his turban cape blew in the wind that blew across the land. "Now, make no mistake, boy, I'm not gonna go easy on you, even if you did helped out Gohan in the past."

"Don't worry about it." Tyson replied, stretching himself out a bit before the fight. "I wasn't really expecting you to go easy on me anyway."

"Heh... Well you sure do sound confident." Piccolo stated as he slowly uncrossed his arms. "You're definitely a Saiyan alright."

"Well, it is kinda cool that I am a Saiyan and all, but believe me, I'm still the same guy I always been." Tyson stated back as he slowly took his fighting stance at Piccolo. "Ever since day one of my life."

"Hmph... If you say so." Piccolo replied as he took his fighting stance too at Tyson.

At that moment, the two fighters stood in their fighting positions silently as the wind blew across the land again. Even when the dust was flying, the two fighters didn't blink and they kept their confident smirks at one another.

But then, Piccolo's face changed into a more serious expression. "Alright... Now, show me your power!" he exclaimed, which Tyson responded with a quick change to a serious look too.

"Oh, I'll show you alright!" Tyson exclaimed back as he suddenly charged at Piccolo with all his might and came at him with a barrage of punches, but Piccolo was easily able to see them all and dodged each one of them before disappearing, surprising Tyson at first, but then he sensed him out and quickly turned around and fired an Energy Shot up towards the sky. "There!"

Just at the moment Piccolo reappeared, he was surprised when the Energy Shot hit him and sent him back a bit, before he looked back down at Tyson and saw him disappear too. However, Piccolo didn't flinch as Tyson then reappeared behind the Namekian and swung a side kick at him, but Piccolo disappeared at the last second and avoided it, surprising Tyson as he then reappeared behind him kicked him in the back, sending the young Saiyan flying through the sky before he grit his teeth and stopped himself from flying off any further, then turned around back at Piccolo.

"Hmph... You're not bad, but you're gonna have to do better than that." Piccolo stated, a bit unimpressed, which made Tyson a bit frustrated as he came at the Namekian again and threw another barrage of strikes at him, using his Meteor Crash technique.

"HAAA!" Tyson screamed as he tried his best to land a blow, but Piccolo was easily avoiding his strikes, and then he manage to grab Tyson by his left arm and then threw him around higher into the air. "AAAHH!"

Then, Piccolo turned towards Tyson and then fired a barrage of Ki Blasts toward him. But as Tyson was flying off, he manage to look back and saw the attacks coming for him. Seeing them coming, he quickly regained his balance and disappeared, avoiding the strikes. Then, he reappeared back on the ground, but he was surprised again when he saw Piccolo fire more Ki Blasts down at him. In response, Tyson quickly jumped back and avoided the oncoming strikes, but Piccolo continued to fire at him, which Tyson continued to jump back each time. But then, Piccolo disappeared after firing one more Ki Blast, which Tyson jumped back and evaded it too, but then Piccolo reappeared behind him and kicked him by surprise, sending him flying back a bit before he skid and rolled across the ground, shouting a little in pain before he stopped on his front.

After that, Tyson slowly got back up on his feet and panted in a little before he resumed his fighting stance at Piccolo, who was still a bit unimpressed at him.

"Come on, is that really it?" Piccolo asked, taking a step towards Tyson. "You know, there is another way to avoid being hit by Ki Blasts then just dodging them, right?"

"Uh... There is?" Tyson asked, a bit confused now.

"Yeah, like deflecting them." Piccolo answered, but his answer still confused Tyson.

"Deflecting them?" Tyson asked again, which Piccolo responded by sighing towards the ground in disbelief before looking back at the young Saiyan.

"Yes, deflecting them." Piccolo replied. "It's very simple. In fact, why don't you fire some Ki Blasts at me and I'll show you."

"Well, okay then." Tyson replied as he grew a serious look again and then fired some Ki Blasts at Piccolo, which he responded by using the back of his hands and deflected them away, surprising Tyson a bit. "W-Whoa...!"

"You see, it's very simple." Piccolo stated. "Now, you try."

"Wait, what...?" Tyson asked, but then Piccolo suddenly fired his own Ki Blasts at him, surprising him at first, but then Tyson grew a serious look again, grit his teeth, and like Piccolo he used the back of his hands and deflected the coming strikes, sending them in multiple directions instead. When he did, Piccolo smiled at him, while Tyson couldn't believe he did that as he brought both his hands in front of him and gazed at them in amazement. "Whoa... I actually did it?"

"I told you, it's very simple." Piccolo said as he then took his fighting stance again at Tyson and grew a confident smirk on his face. "Now then, shall we continue?"

When Tyson heard that, he quickly looked back at Piccolo and grew a confident smirk too as he got into his fighting stance again. Then, when the wind blew across the land again, two fighters suddenly came at each other and disappeared just before they collided. In a flash, the two fighters were seen flying high above the land, clashing with one another as they moved from place to place above the area. In those clashes, one could see them collide fists with each other before moving to another place.

But then, Piccolo threw another punch at Tyson and smacked him in the face, sending him down a bit before he regained his balance and suddenly shot up towards the Namekian. In response, Piccolo fired a barrage of Ki Blasts toward him, but thanks to what Piccolo showed him, Tyson was able to deflect them and continued coming at Piccolo and slammed his knee into his gut hard, shocking him greatly, and then Tyson kicked him with his other leg and send him higher in the sky and continued doing so, using his Orion Combo move he'd learned from Kirllin and finished up with slamming the Namekian with both his hands together in a fist and sent him plummeting towards the ground hard, creating a small crater and a dust cloud on impact.

At that moment, Tyson took this chance to catch his breath as he smiled confidently at where Piccolo impacted.

"Heh... I gotcha good that time, didn't I?" Tyson stated, but then, Piccolo used his Namekian abilities and made his right arm stretch out and shot it up towards Tyson, surprising as he saw the hand coming for him. Something he wasn't expecting. 'Oh crap on a stick!'

Just then, Piccolo's hand grabbed Tyson by his neck and dragged him down, screaming as Piccolo got back up and started spinning Tyson around in circles, going faster and faster each second before he threw him far away and the young Saiyan skid across the ground again. His head buried in dirt as he felt dizzy, like he was seeing stars circling over his head, while Piccolo smirked again at him and brought his right arm back to normal length before slowly walking towards him.

"Heh... Been awhile since I had to use that technique." Piccolo stated as he slowly made his way toward Tyson before he stopped right above him and used his foot to roll him over so that his back was against the ground. "You see, boy, that's called deceiving your enemy."

But just as he said that, Tyson suddenly reopened his eyes and smirked up at Piccolo. "You mean like this?" he asked, surprising Piccolo as he suddenly got up, swung his legs at Piccolo's, causing him to lose his balance, and then he side kicked him in the gut, sending the Namekian flying a bit. "HA!"

"GAAAHH!" Piccolo yelled, but then he grit his teeth and manage to get his feet back on the ground, but then Tyson came at him fast and elbowed him in the chest, surprising Piccolo again as he was sent stammering back a bit, placing both hands on his chest before looking back at Tyson with a panicked look on his face, seeing the young Saiyan ready himself again for attack. But seeing him like his, Piccolo dropped his arms and then extended a hand out at Tyson. "Hold it! That's enough. I know how strong you are already."

"Really?" Tyson asked, dropping his guard a bit and had a confused look on his face.

"Yes, really." Piccolo replied, dropping his hand and took a few more deep breaths. "I've seen enough of your abilities. You did good."

Hearing that, Tyson was surprised at first, but then he grew a smile on his face, and so did Piccolo as he manage to catch his breath and stand up straight at the young Saiyan before taking a few steps towards him.

"I'll admit, you're pretty good." Piccolo stated before he stopped a few feet from Tyson, smiling down at him. "But, there's always room for improvements. Know what I'm talking about?"

"Oh yeah... I definitely know what you're talking about." Tyson replied, giving a smile back up at the Namekian, who in response crossed his arms at the young Saiyan.

"Well, in any case, you pass my little test." Piccolo said, but then he quickly grew a serious look again down at Tyson. "But don't think for a moment my training is gonna get any easier from here on out. Got it?"

In response to that question, Tyson kept his smile and nod in reply at Piccolo, which made the Namekian smile again at the young Saiyan before uncrossing his arms.

"Good... Now, why don't I start you out by teaching you a simple technique of mine." Piccolo suggested as he turned his body slightly away from Tyson. "It's very simple and very effective if you know how to use it right. I call it the Evil Explosion."

"Sweet... Sounds good already." Tyson said as he prepared himself to learn whatever technique Piccolo had planned to teach him. "And the name sounds pretty good too."

However, before Piccolo proceeded to show Tyson how to perform the Evil Explosion technique, he took another serious look back at the boy, confusing him a little.

"By the way, even though you figured out how to deflect certain attacks, you didn't do anything before I grabbed earlier." Piccolo stated, which made Tyson think back on what he just said in his head. "I'm impressed you manage to figure out how to deflect, and even how to deceive an opponent like you did a moment ago, but, don't forget the most important thing in battle, just as you were doing at the start."

"And what would that be?" Tyson asked, still a big confused, while Piccolo showed a small smirk at him in response.

"Dodge." Piccolo said, confusing Tyson more as he was suddenly smacked in the face by Piccolo, sending him flying until he hit his back on a boulder, smashing it in the process before landing back on the ground, his eyes showing how dizzy he was again, while Piccolo gave a serious look at him again. "That wasn't a dodge."

At that moment, Tyson just made a weird smile as he again had stars circling around his head, while Piccolo crossed his arms and sighed in disbelief towards the ground before looking back at the young Saiyan.

"We'll work on that too." Piccolo stated as Tyson manage to give a thumbs with his right hand back at the Namekian, making him smirk again at him. "I have so much to teach you. Time we get to work."

Once again, the wind blew across the land as the two fighters were left to do their training together. Even though Tyson knew he was part Saiyan, he still had a lot of work ahead of him. Like Piccolo's intense and rough training...
