The Hyperbolic Time Chamber

"That's…Madara? But how dad, that's impossible! What's going on? I thought Madara was alive." I questioned.

"Cael, you're not ready to know yet…" answered Goku.

"Not ready to know what? What won't you tell me…?"

"The mystery of Madara will be revealed soon, so be patient."

"We're wasting time." barked Piccolo "Let's begin the training. Mr. Popo, please?"

"Of course Piccolo. All of you will enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with your Guardians. Originally the time chamber could only hold two people. But we have made advancements to the chamber over the past two decades to be able to accommodate all of you for a full year. Food, beds, and washrooms have all been added to make up for the immense size of the group. Please, follow me to the chamber."

We all started to follow Mr. Popo except for Zephyr. Zephyr remained motionless like a statue, only staring at his father with the most grim stare.

"Why the stare son, are you that intimidated by me?"

Vegeta stood a few inches away from Zephyr and stared him down as well.

"What's the matter boy, you haven't said a single word."

"You're supposed to be my dad huh? To be honest I was expecting something a little more. Somehow…I'm not impressed."

Goku's look soon turned worried. "Oh boy, he's asking for it."

"Oh really? Not impressed huh? I think I can do something about that." Vegeta drove his fist right into Zephyr's gut. Zephyr's eyes widened and his mouth hung wide open. This was probably the first time he ever felt such a rush of pain.

Zephyr slowly started losing consciousness and balance. His feet could no longer support his aching body. As his legs gave way his body fell forward. Before he hit the ground he slammed his foot down and supported himself up.

"…sorry…old man…you've been dethroned…I'm the new Prince of all Saiyans…"

"Hahahaha! Ambitious aren't we? Good job not losing consciousness after the first hit; at least that proves you're my son…now, sleep."

Vegeta used both fists this time to slam Zephyr's head into the ground, completely knocking him out.

"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled. "Are you crazy! He's your son!"

"Caelum, stop!" Dad grabbed me as I chased for Zephyr.

"This is Vegeta's way. Let him train Zephyr the way he sees fit. He is his father."

Vegeta lifted zephyr up and over his shoulder.

"Well, are you all just going to stand there? Get moving!" ordered Vegeta.

"Right, follow me everyone."

We resumed following Mr. Popo as he lead us to the Time Chamber. Finally, we reached the chamber.

Mr. Popo opened the door for us to enter. "At first it'll feel strange. Your bodies will need a bit of time to get used to the Chamber, but you'll do just fine. I have faith in all of you.

We walked into the room and once all of us were in Mr. Popo closed the door.

It felt really humid inside. That was the first thing I felt. The next was the gravity, then the lack of oxygen, and then the intense heat. Within seconds I was panting.

"We're supposed to stay in here for a year? I can barely take it now! I hope there's enough water in this place!" Suigetsu was the first to complain. He was really just saying what the rest of us felt but didn't say. Trunks patted Suigetsu on his back.

"No worries, after the first day you'll get used to it."

My panting slowly ceased. I was starting to get used to it already. "There you go lil' bro. See, it isn't so bad once you get used to it. Now you know what dad and I had to go through for our battles."

Piccolo opened a drawer and removed a capsule from within. He pushed the button on it and threw it on the ground. A cloud of smoke emerged and inside was a box. "Everyone, come and gather your training gear. Each Guardian has training gear suitable to their style of fighting."

Vegeta was the first to reach into the box and gathered two sets of Saiyan armor and body gear. "Hmph, I'll see all of you in a while. We have some serious training to do and I don't feel like being held back by your soft training." Vegeta took Zephyr and disappeared into the distance.

"So that's Zephyr's dad huh? Wow, he's like an much more arrogant and reckless Zephyr." I commented,

"That's nothing, you should've seen him when I first fought him. The Vegeta you're looking at is the nice Vegeta."

"Alright, all Next Generation Guardians besides Zephyr of course gather around me and I'll explain a few things." Jessica, Itachi, Nagato, Deidara, Suigetsu, and I gathered around Piccolo as he started his explanation.

"Okay, as you can see there are 20 beds spread around the Chamber. You may pick whichever you wish. There is enough food and water in the storage to last us a whole year, possibly more. This training will be the hardest thing you've ever done in your life. But you are all Guardians of Earth. I have nothing but the utmost faith in each of your abilities. As you saw, Vegeta pulled out a pair of training gear for him and Zephyr. There is a set of armors and gears for each of you as previously stated. Just reach in and gather your respective sets of gear."

We all reached into the box and gathered our armor. Mine was exactly like Zephyrs. "Wow, so this is Saiyan armor huh? It's pretty light, but incredibly durable; nice."

Everyone else's gear was pretty generic. Just a copy of our Saiyan armor but designed differently for each Guardian. Suigetsu's and Deidara were the only ones that were significantly different. Suigetsu's had a spot on his back where he could place his sword, and Deidara's had multiple pouches around his body for his clay.

"Alright, now that all of you have your gears it's time to start your training. For the first day training isn't as important. Your first priority is to get to know your Guardians. We have a year in here, so you might as well should get to know who you're succeeding. We shall also meet a few times a month and have training sessions as a Team for a whole day. It's important for you all to learn how to fight together. Now go, I'll see all of you in a week. Also, you can change any part of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to a terrain of your choosing, however small or big. Just imagine it and it should happen."

We all separated with our respective Guardians and spread ourselves apart across the vast Time Chamber and initiated training.
