Chapter 10
Getting to know the Spirits
"Oh stop would you?" Alasdair's voice boomed from above.
"I can't. I-I've never been without my dad or mom. I cant do this" Gohan's voice cracked while tears fell from his face.
"Oh I get it your still a baby. Is that it. Ahhh. This is not going to be easy. Nor will you be the same when you leave here Gohan. But you will be better for it. You will be a man."
" I don't see why I should even bother with this. I don't want to be here anymore. Just let me back out and I'll wait on my dad." Said Gohan tears finally had stopped.
" Oh no I cant let you out till you training is complete. It's the rules and we can't go breaking them. Now get some rest we start soon so rest and I'll be back when its time." Alasdair's voice drifted away.
"Wait don't go! I-I" Gohan fell back on the bed. "How am I going to do this?"
Goku fell through the last of the water fall. 'Man that was hard.' He was trying to catch his breath when suddenly someone came crashing down on his back.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry, son." Bardock rolled off of Goku.
"Its alright I wasn't expecting that is all." Goku rolled to his back trying to steady his breathing.
" So where do you think we are?" Bardock looked around and sat up breathing normal.
The room that they were in was a bright white. So bright in fact that it stung there eyes. "I don't know it doesn't look like anything I was expecting." Goku said making himself sit up.
" What where you expecting?" Bardock raised an eyebrow.
" I don't know but not this. Its just so overwhelming." Goku squinted as his eyes tried to adjust.
"Yeah I guess your right." Bardock stood up.
"Hummm…" Said a voice from no where.
" What was that?' Goku got to his feet.
" I don't know. But I don't like it." Bardock took a fighting stance.
" Oh…Calm down. Its not as though you could fight me even if you wanted to." The voice said booming from above.
" Who are you?" Goku said also taking a stance.
" Oh me? I am Azel."
" Azel, what is your purpose?" Bardock asked firmly.
" To guild you through your training. Both of you in fact." Azel said.
" Both of us…." Goku looked around. " Hey where's Gohan. He should have been through here by now."
" Gohan….I don't know of any Gohan."
" My son…he's only eight. Do you know if he's ok!" Goku asked sounding worried.
" Oh the boy you mean. Yes his fine he's with Alasdair now." Azel sounded bored.
" Why isn't he here?" Bardock asked.
" Because of his age. Are all you two going to do is ask me idiotic questions?"
" Oh sorry. Right training. But-" Goku still had some questions.
" OH goodness….look your son is fine. I'm a sprit of this world. I'm the youngest and I don't have a lot of patience. We need to get started if we're to get this done. I think for you. You'll need four years. And you the older one you'll need three. Yes that sound be fine."
"What? But we can't stay that long Frieza is-" Bardock protested but was cut off.
" Look you can only stay here till your strength level is increased by one thousand. Then you can go and don't try coming back you already missed your youth training so you can only enter this time. In the outside world only a day will pass." Azel said. " Now what kind of comadations do you need?"
" So are we going to train together? How is it possible if I'm doing four years and my father is doing three?" Goku asked having even more questions now than before.
"ARGH….Yes you will train together. He will leave when his time is up. But you will remain here for a year after. When you leave this place it will be only minutes after your father. NOW! Tell me your accommodations." Azel's voice sounded very angry.
" Just a cot and the essentials for me I don't need much." Bardock said wiping the water out of his hair.
" Fine and you?"
" I guess I'd like my house back home if you-" Goku stopped and was shaken to a set in his living room. He got up. " Wow it's exactly the same good work."
"Think nothing of it. Really. Now get some rest I need some as well. And please don't question anymore."
" Right sorry it's just this world is all new to me is all." Goku scratched his head."
"Humph….well if the saiyans hadn't decided to forget this place you wouldn't have had to ask. So I guess it's not all your fault I suppose. I just get irritated easily." Azel said calmly.
" Oh why did they forget?" Goku asked not thinking.
" Ahhh…because the last one to come in here died. That was three thousand years ago. Now its nothing but a legend. I'm glad of it they were getting to powerful anyway."
" How did he die the last one?" Goku sat in his kitchen.
" She wasn't strong enough. She couldn't take the training. However she was a princess and the saiyan's didn't like it when she didn't return. The king forbid anyone from using the training until his daughter returned. So no one ever came back in." Azel said trying to keep his temper.
"Wow I didn't know any of that." Bardock opened the door to Goku's home.
" No you wouldn't would you. Now get some rest I'll return when it is time to start. Get a good rest you'll need it if your to survive the first day." Azel's voice trailed off .
" Oh bye then." Goku was rummaging in the frig. " Aahhh….food you want some father. I'm starving."
" Yes I'd love some lets eat then go sleep till training. So how has your life been? I've missed so much I'd like to here about it."
Goku sat down with the premade food from the frig. He told Bardock all about his grandpa Gohan and being raised in the woods. About Bulma and the dragon balls. Then of master Roshi and his training with Krillin. How he fought in the marshal arts tournaments and all his adventure's along the way. By the end of talking both of them had laughed and cried but it brought the to closer to knowing each other.
" Ahhh… good and full." Goku patted his stomach.
" Me too. Well I'm off next time I'll tell you about me. I liked getting to spend time with you, my son." Bardock smiled and walked out to where his little tent was.
