As the other heroes resumed their training, Krillin led Mafin and Begu over to the middle of the Lookout.

"Alright, I want you guys to punch my hand. Either of you can come up, it doesn't matter which one.", said Krillin, who held out his hand.

Mafin turned to Begu and asked, "Um, do you want to go up first?"

Begu replied,"Nah, you go first."

Mafin shook his head,"No no, it's ok. You go first."

"Nope, I'm good. You go up first, dude."

"No, it's alright. You can go ahead, I insist."

Krillin sighed and shook his head in disbelief.

"They really can't decide, huh...", thought Krillin.

Begu thought about it for a minute, then asked,"Wanna do 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'?"

Mafin shrugged, "Yeah, sure."

Krillin's jaw dropped in response. "Are they serious?!", he thought.

The duo crouched down and stared intently at one another. They began shaking their fists at the same time, and shouted in unison,"3-2-1...GO!"

Mafin's hand formed a closed fist, symbolizing the rock symbol, while Begu's formed an outstretched hand, symbolizing paper.

Begu shrugged,"Eh, oh well. Go ahead, dude."

Mafin nodded and walked up to Krillin. He then took a deep breath, and proceeded to gently punch Krillin's hand.

Krillin said,"That one was good, but a little too soft. Try again."

Mafin did so again, with more force.

"A little bit better, but try again, and this time, really mean it."

Mafin grunted and punched Krillin's hand as hard as he could.

Krillin smiled and said, "There you go! Much better."

Mafin smiled and bowed in respect. Begu then walked up to the bald monk.

Begu thought, "Alright, let's do this thing!"

Just like Mafin, Begu proceeded to do the same punch exercise three times, and each punch became progressively better than the last.

Krillin said, "Nice job guys! Ok, now I want you guys to do...three sets of ten push-ups!"

"Only ten? Pfft, too easy!", said Begu, who had a cocky grin on his face.

Krillin smirked, "Alright, three sets of twenty push-ups then!"

Begu exclaimed, "Wait, what?!"

Mafin glared at Begu and said, "Nice going, Begu."

The Octorian groaned in disbelief, and the duo got into their positions.


Meanwhile, in a distant part of the forest...

A familiar blue portal opened, and Kappukeki quickly flew out of it.

Kappukeki panted heavily and held her sword close to her, just in case anyone, or anything attacked her.

After a few minutes, she quickly put her sword in its sheath. The heroine flew up out of the forest, and looked around, trying to see if there was any familiar location from the past that she read about.

She spotted a certain stone tower in the distance and flew towards it.

Kappukeki then pressed two fingers to her forehead and thought,"Concentrate...just like Mom taught you...come on, come on!"

She instantly teleported to a different part of the forest and groaned in anger.

Kappukeki quickly flew near the stone tower again.

She sighed and put her two fingers on her forehead once more.

The heroine thought, "Concentrate...feel the ki signature..."

Kappukeki concentrated with all of her might, then...she felt something.

There was not just one, but two signatures located within Korin Tower!

"Yes! Finally, I got it right!", exclaimed Kappukeki.

She instantly teleported herself to Korin Tower, and saw the old feline master himself, along with Yajirobe.

The two inhabitants were startled by her presence, and Yajirobe asked,"How'd ya get in here?!"

"It's some sort of futuristic technique. This warrior is from Age 1010, and she is looking for Mafin and Begu." said Korin.

Yajirobe exclaimed, "Woah, that's crazy!"

Kappukeki's eyes widened in shock. Not only did this guy know that she was from the future, but he also knows about them too?!

Kappukeki spoke up, "Um, yeah, I actually was looking for two people named Mafin and Begu. Also, how do you even know about my friends' names, or my name, or the fact that I'm from the future?!",

Korin explained, "I hear everything that goes on in the world. Usually, it's when I'm bored and I've got nothing better to do."

"Huh. Go figure.", said Kappukeki.

"Now that the exposition's out of the way, your friends are up on the Lookout, training their hearts out.", said Korin, who pointed upwards.

Yajirobe added,"And I'll be takin' them back home later on, so expect them to stop by here."

Kappukeki sighed in relief and asked, "Is it ok if I stay here for a couple of hours?"

Korin shrugged and said, "Go right ahead. I mean, since you traveled all this way just to talk to two 'big deals', it must be a big emergency..."

Kappukeki nervously chuckled, "It kind of is!"


"Again.", said Krillin.

Mafin and Begu jabbed and kicked the air once more, panting in exhaustion.

It was now the late evening, and the duo had gone through several physical maneuvers. They had learned to strike, kick, and spar with one another multiple times.

Yamcha yawned and said,"Alright, I don't know about you guys, but it's gettin' pretty late. I better head back home before Puar gets worried."

Krillin nodded,"Yeah, you're right."

He saw the duo continue to jab and kick at the air.

"Ok, that's enough training for today."

As if on cue, Mafin and Begu then immediately collapsed in response. They panted heavily, as their bodies felt incredibly sore.

Krillin walked over to them and asked, "Are you guys ok?"

Mafin quietly replied, "We're fine, we just need some rest..."

The monk nodded, then looked at Begu.

Begu groaned, "No more manuevers...no more..."

Krillin chuckled,"Well, there's gonna be more where that came from!"

The duo's eyes widened at the bald warrior's response.

Krillin said,"Remember, this was just the first day. It will only get trickier from here."

Mafin sighed in exhaustion, while Begu groaned louder.

The bald warrior offered a hand to Mafin, who gladly accepted it, and the Pesutorian was quickly pulled up to his feet.

Krillin offered a hand to Begu as well, who declined and managed to get up himself.

Yamcha stretched his arms and said,"Okay, I'm headin' out!"

Tien said, "I'll head out as well. Chiaotzu, let's go."

The white child-like creature said, "Ok."

Krillin nodded, and turned to the duo, "Make sure you guys arrive here the same time tomorrow."

Mafin nodded while Begu half-heartedly nodded, rubbing his eyes in the process.

"Well everyone, we'll see you tomorrow. I hope you guys have safe travels.", said Mafin in a quiet manner.

He then bowed towards the four heroes, while Begu merely waved goodbye.

The heroes bowed in unison, and collectively flew off into the distance.

Piccolo was still meditating, so the duo merely waved goodbye to him and flew off.

They flew all the way down to Korin Tower, where they greeted Yajirobe and Korin.

Yajirobe said,"Hey guys, this future lady was askin' for you."

Mafin and Begu turned to see Kappukeki, who gave a friendly wave towards them.

The duo exclaimed in unison, "Kappukeki!"

They ran over and immediately hugged the heroine. Kappukeki grinned and hugged them back.

She released them and said, "Guys, I need to tell you something important."

The duo nodded and asked, "What is it?"

Kappukeki took a deep breath and replied,"You need to go to Dr. Gero's lab, and find a bio android named Android 21."
