Chapter 9

Training with Others

Goku and Gohan got on there suits. Piccolo looked down at Gohan. "I'm going to check the planet out. Someone needs to find out what these saiyans are really like and if the girl was right or if there just a bunch of violent monkeys." Piccolo turned to walk out.

"But Mister Piccolo? Don't you want to come with us to train?" Gohan ran up beside the large green Namek.

"No four's a crowd and you to need to bond with your new family. I'd just be in the way. Anyhow, I really want to know what we've got ourselves into. You and your dad have fun training. And Gohan…Train harder than ever you need it." Piccolo had a worried look but turned and walked away.

Gohan sighed. "Ready to go?" Goku walked up.

"Yea I guess, Dad." Gohan looked up at his father.

"Good lets go find my dad." Goku laughed.

Bardock was waiting outside. 'I hope this helps them. I don't want to lose my son again. And I really don't want my son's son to fall either.' Bardock let a breath of air out. "Oh there you are. You two ready?"

"Yep all set. I can't wait to train with you." Goku beamed.

"Me too I'm anxious." Gohan smiled up at the two saiyan men.

"Good, good. Let's go. You two can fly, right?" Bardock raised an eye brow.

"Oh yeah." Said Gohan sounding even more excited than before.

"Well then just follow me." Bardock walked down the hall.

Goku and Gohan followed eagerly. They got to a door and Bardock opened it. It led to a field outside of the castle. "Come on lets fly." Bardock took off followed by the two.

As the three landed Goku and Gohan looked at the huge waterfall in front of them. "Wow is this where were training?" Gohan asked as he looked at the water.

"No this is just the door." Bardock smiled.

"Door to what?" Goku turned and looked at Borcock.

"Time. It's a door to time." Bardock started to go in.

"Wait! How much time?" Goku called.

"Through the water fall is a cave. In there time almost stops time from moving on the outside world. Two years in there is a day out here. It's the perfect place to train when you don't have a lot of time." Bardock smiled.

"Whoa that's amazing! How was it made?" Goku said astounded.

"I don't really know. It was a thing of legend here. My father told me about it. But he said that only the brave and very strong make it to the other side and that most that go in never come back out." Bardock got into the pool of water.

"So how do you know that we will come back?" Gohan asked.

"I don't. I've never seen it for my self. Just herd the stories. No one ever comes here. They all think it's just a false tell." Bardock waited for Goku and Gohan to catch up with him. He was at the base of the rather large waterfall.

"So why are you just now trying it out?" Goku asked.

"Well I've never really needed to and I didn't really want too. Honestly I don't know how much I believe the story ether but we my as well try. This fight with Frieza may very well be our last and I don't want to fight knowing that I didn't do everything necessary to prepare." Bardock looked into the waterfall. "Well it's now or never." He walked in to the falls and was swallowed up out of sight.

"He's right. Well come on Gohan. Let's do this." Goku looked at his son.

"But dad. What if we never come back? What if-" Gohan said sounding a little afraid.

" Gohan we may both die in two days. This could be the only way we can beat this guy. Two days of training will be no where near enough training to do much good. We have to try." Goku looked in the falls and followed his father.

"DAD!" Gohan could no longer see his father. " Fine…." Gohan took a deep breath and went in the falls.

Lori was in her room at the castle. She sat on the bed and looked out of the window to the fighters below. ' There all fools. Two days of training. Like that will make a difference.' She looked again. Then she noticed that Goku wasn't there. 'Hum I wonder were Kakorrot is. Bardock must have taken him somewhere else to train. I hope he makes it through this.'

Knock…knock….knock

Lori jumped. " Come in."

A small elderly woman came in the room. "The prince requests your presents this evening."

"Oh….Does he. You may tell the prince that I'm not going to be here. So I can come tonight. That's all, Pennia." Lori closed her eyes.

"He wont be happy with you miss. You may want to reconsider." Pennia's voice sounded old and weak.

" I don't care what he's happy with. Let him find a new whore. I'm done." She turned and walked past the old saiyan.

" Oh I see. He must have hurt you. Did he? Young saiyan's you don't see what you have." Pennia shook her head.

"What I have? I have nothing. He was just using me to please himself. He has no feeling or caring for me why should I care how he feels if I deny him. You don't know, Pennia. Just move a side I have to go." Lori brushed by Pennia.

Lori raced down the hall. She was still wearing her white night gown that she had changed into the night before once she and Goku had departed from the soldiers corridor. She went into a guest room and went in to it. She opened the window that lead to a balcony. She went out on to it and took to the shy. Tears pouring down her face. ' Where can I go that no one will see me. I have to be alone.' She wiped her face and thought. ' I know…' She flew to the waterfall that Goku, Gohan and Bardock had just been swallowed by. She sat by the pond of water and looked at herself. She had never cared for how she looked. With her short noise and full lips. Her eyes where like black cols in color and her skin was white as lace. Though most thought of her as beautiful she could never see why. ' I wonder if this pain will ever stop.' More tears fell freely. ' I wonder if Kakorrot felt like this when his woman on earth died? Could he have been covering how he really felt? He was rather upset when he found her limp body. Maybe he was. I must have made him so angry when I didn't even attempt to make him feel better. I hate having to be this way. Like I have no emotions, like I'm numb. I wish I was…' Lori cupped her face and let herself cry hard.

Gohan had made it through to the other side of the falls. It had been very difficult getting through the rushing water. It was like fighting but also having a hundred pounds crashing down on your back. He was on his hands and knees panting. " Gosh that was horrible." Gohan tried to stand but fell to the floor instead. "Man…" Gohan panted and turned himself to his back. " I'm so worn out." Gohan looked around. "Dad….Grandpa! I made it…." But there was no answer. Gohan forced himself to sit up. There was no one anywhere. In fact there was nothing anywhere. Gohan looked around. The room was square and a deep blue color. There was no light yet Gohan could see just fine. "DAD!….Anyone…." Gohan started to cry. "HELP! WHERE AM I! DAD PLEASE ANSWER ME!"

" Argh…No need to shout. I have been sleeping here for three millenniums. Now who are you and why are you in my home?" A voice came from no where.

" What? Who's there show yourself!" Gohan got to his feet with all that was left of his strength.

" WHO I'm I? WHO ARE YOU WAKENING ME FROM MY SLEEP BARGING IN MY HOME!" The voice was angry and the room turned red.

" EEP…Alright…I'm Gohan I came in through the waterfalls with my father and grandpa. We where coming to train. An old story said that if you passed through then you could do two years worth of training in a day normal time. That's why I came in here." Gohan said sat he sat back on the floor.

" Oh not another one. I get so tired of training little ones. Very well Gohan. What did you bring me?" The voice sound annoyed.

" Bring you but I didn't know I had to bring you anything." Gohan said sounding a bit scared.

" Well what do you have then?"

" Humm. …" Gohan searched his pockets he found a pencil and a hard candy. " I have these…will it do?" Gohan handed up the items.

" Hummm….I suppose…."

The pencil and the candy disappeared from Gohans hand. "Wha- " Gohan was shocked.

"Now since we have a lot of time together we best get started."

"Wait can I ask something, sir." Gohan said.

"Yes if you must."

"What is this place?"

"This is the blank room of the spirits."

"So who are you?'

" I am Alasdair. Eldest of all the spirit's."

"Oh.. Do you know if my dad and grandpa are ok?" Gohan asked eagerly.

" Yes two others went through. Azel has them now." Said Alasdair.

" Great can I go join them?" Gohan shoot to his feet.

" NO! Young ones come to me. Old ones to him that's how it's always been. Ever since we made this planet. Now let's begin, Gohan."

Gohan sat back on his knees. " You mean I have to do this alone without my dad. Or anyone?"

" Yes it appears that way." Alasdair paused. " But you will be stronger for it child. That is what you come to me as but for you. This time will be longer than two years."

" What how long!" Gohan fought back tears.

" Five years for you to complete. Then and only then will you be read." Alasdair said dryly.

" No I can't be here that long. Frieza will be here in two days normal time. It would take to long."

" Silly child on the outside only a day will past. You will have time to go and fight this Frieza. Now what accommodations do you acquirer?"

" How can that be? My Grandpa said th-"

"I'm very aware of what he said but he didn't know how this works completely. After so long details get lost. Now how would you like your room to look boy."

" I guess like my old one back home. I miss it." Gohan looked down.

"Very well then."

Suddenly the blue room changed. Gohan looked around and realized he was sitting now on his bed. ' Dad…Where are you?' The boy began to cry.

( Poor Gohan =( But dont worry he'll be fine he makes it ok i promise =) Anyway next one is going to be good. So keep reading and reviewing Please.)
