p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"strongemOn the last Dragon Ball E, Zuchin's training with King Kai finally took off. About to learn new skills and abilities that may help him fight, Zuchin is eager to finish up and get home. But on Okro's side, things don't look so well. He's been found by Caula, and has been driven into hiding, with only 3 Dragon balls. 4 Dragon Balls to go, today, on Dragon Ball E!/em/strong/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro looked out from his hiding place, still suppressed. Caula had destroyed all but one of the other rock formations. Now was his chance. He leapt out while Caula's back was still turned, his hair flashing gold, his eyes green, rage filling him. "Kaaaaameeeee… haaaaameeeee…" Light spilled from his cupped hands as he rose into the air. "THIS IS FOR ALL MY FRIENDS! HAAAAAAAAA!" He fired the blast as Caula turned to see Okro's attack, and dust formed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro wasn't stupid… far from it. He knew that emthat/em would never defeat Caula. He powered down and suppressed again, landing to run away before he lost his smoke screen. Caula roared in rage, and Okro looked down into his bag at the three dragon balls and the Dragon Radar. emHold on, guys…/em/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Meanwhile, during a convenient time lapse, Zuchin had been training a new technique, taught to him by King Kai. "Alright, Zuchin, now, let's see how strong you are."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin nodded, a howling cry of rage erupting from him as a gold aura erupted around him, crackling with electricity. His eyes turned green, his bangs lifted up, turning gold, leaving a single bang over his eyes, and he looked at King Kai with a serious look. "How do you like me now?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"King Kai nodded. "Good, good… a minor improvement, but an improvement nonetheless. Now, power up again."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin blinked, goggling at the kai. "Wha-what?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Use the new technique." He got it now. Right… "Super Kaioken!" There was a huge burst of red aura, and Zuchin's power level increased dramatically. "How's that?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Good, good… Now, remember, Kaioken is extremely powerful… It's a huge drain on your body! Remember to emnever/em go higher than times 2."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin nodded. "Right. Super Kaioken! Times two!" Again, Zuchin's power level flared, and King Kai nodded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""That should be enough to fight Caula! Now, time to learn the other technique… Power down, Zuchin."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Sighing, he nodded, and the aura faded, his hair and eyes returning to normal. "I'm ready… as long as the talking cricket doesn't interfere again…"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"It had been a couple weeks now. Everywhere Okro went, Caula was on his tail. Right now, Okro was hiding in a forest. He drew out the Dragon Radar and pressed the button. "A Dragon Ball? Here, of all places?" Sure enough, there was a new dot on the radar. He turned to face it, running as fast as he could manage./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"His tail curled up behind him when he got to the place. It was at the edge of the forest. Just as he was about to start looking around, he heard a familiar voice. "I thought you might come looking for this…" Okro looked up to see Caula, holding what appeared to be the 7 star Dragon Ball. He groaned./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I'm emsooo/em dead…"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Caula grinned. "Glad you realized it. You're a pathetic insect, a disgrace to the saiyajin race! Now… DIIIIIIEEE!" A ball of energy formed in Caula's free hand, shooting downwards at Okro and exploding. Okro, though, had disappeared. Reappearing behind Caula with gold hair and green eyes, Okro place a roundhouse kick in Caula's neck. Caula remained unfazed. Turning to face Okro, he hurled a ball of energy, sending the young saiyajin to the ground./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro's armor had already been mostly destroyed, but now, the last of it had fallen off. Okro growled. emI have to get that Dragon Ball… /emEnergy began to gather in his hands. "Scatter Shot!" He aimed for the ball as best as he could, but in all fairness, Scatter Shot was not made for accuracy. Still, he hit Caula's hand, and that was good enough. Caula was enraged by the Scatter Shot and dropped the ball, a Scatter Shot of his own making flying at Okro./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Quick as a flash, though, Okro was gone, and he had the bag open under the falling Dragon Ball. "Thanks, Caula! We'll be seeing you. Every… last… one of us…" And with that, he shot off into the forest, turned, and suppressed again. After landing and running off, he caught his breath. "Whoo, that was close… 4 balls down, 3 to go…"/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin found himself sitting on the ground, his eyes closed. He tried to clear his mind, to let go, but he was so mad at Caula… King Kai's voice found him, somehow. "Forget about Caula, Zuchin. Okro will wish everyone back and then you can take care of him. Concentrate. Feel the planet beneath you."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin could feel it… like he was part of it, like it was part of him… like they were part of each other. He could feel the raw energy just below the surface… "Now channel that power, Zuchin… ask for its help."/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Oh, come on, Zuchin, that was pathetic. Even Goku's first try was 10 times better. You need to make it sound like you need it… Be forceful, Zuchin."/p
