The group walked inside, and Bulma saw Android 21 walking behind them.
Bulma asked,"Who's the new tall lady?"
Mafin quickly introduced 21 to the blue-haired scientist.
As 21 sat down on a nearby chair, the duo proceeded to explain to Bulma on how they met the android.
Bulma exclaimed,"WHAT?! So she has the combined energy of...EVERYONE?!"
Mafin and Begu collectively said,"Yeah..."
The blue-haired scientist sputtered out, "T-That's insane! So, that means she probably has the cells of...all of you guys!
Krillin exclaimed,"That's what I was thinking! What kind of nutcase would wanna use our cells to create an entirely new being?!"
Begu shrugged,"I told Mafin that it was probably just some crazy crackpot inventor who just did this strange experiment for kicks. I bet that he might not even be alive anymore."
"Yeah, that's true...," said Bulma with a sigh, "And the Red Ribbon Army was dissolved years ago, thanks to Goku."
Krillin asked,"So, what are we gonna do now? About 21, I mean."
Mafin spoke up,"I was thinking...she has everyone's combined ki, which means she might have our special abilities and attacks too. We could train her to fight and use that power for good! She could be an big help against any future threats!"
Krillin nodded in agreement,"That is true. If some villain that's even stronger than Frieza shows up, and if Goku or anyone else in our group can't stop them, then she definitely could be useful."
He exclaimed,"Hey, maybe she could join your training on the island!"
Begu grinned,"That sounds like a awesome idea! We won't have to suffer whatever's on there alone!"
"Wait a minute! What training?! What island?!", asked a deeply confused Bulma.
Krillin explained,"See, I plan on having the boys train on the old island that Goku and I once trained at. This is for that big test I was alluding to."
Bulma said,"Oh yeah, I remember you saying something about a test yesterday."
Mafin exclaimed,"Hey 21, could you come over here for a few seconds?"
21 nodded and walked over to the group.
She asked,"What is it?"
The Pesutorian took a deep breath and explained, "We were wondering if you would like to join our next training sessions. Since you essentially have all of our cells integrated into your DNA, we feel that you have the potential to be an excellent fighter on the battlefield."
Begu added,"Plus, there are many baddies out there in the universe that might be insanely strong, so...uh...yeah."
21 stood there silently for a minute, pondering her decision.
Both Mafin and Begu nervously thought,"Oh man! Hopefully we didn't make it too nerve-wracking!"
Eventually, 21 sighed deeply and said,"I'll think about it. I'll let you know once we reach the island."
"Speaking about the island, how are you guys even gonna get there?", asked Bulma.
Krillin happily replied,"We'll just simply fly over! Easy peasy!"
"Well, at least take a few of my capsules. Hold on, I'll be right back."
The scientist walked to the lab to get some capsules, and returned several minutes later.
She gave them to Krillin, who safely put them in his pocket.
Bulma then turned to the duo and smiled,"Well, good luck on the training sessions you guys! Be safe!"
Mafin happily said, "Thank you Bulma. I swear that we'll do our best!"
The Pesutorian proceeded to bow politely.
"Yeah! What he said!", exclaimed Begu with a grin.
The next morning, the group was all gathered at Kame House's porch.
Mafin and Begu wore their usual Turtle School uniforms, while Krillin wore a simple polo with jeans, and red sneakers.
And 21...well, 21 was nowhere to be found.
Mafin looked around and asked Begu,"Hey, um, dude...have you seen-"
"I'm here!", called out 21 as she landed next to them.
She was wearing her usual outfit, and was carrying a spiral notebook, along with a mechanical pencil.
"Why did you bring a notebook with you?", inquired Mafin.
21 replied,"It's just so that I could keep a daily journal for myself."
"Ooh, ok.", said the Pesutorian.
Krillin spoke up,"Are you guys ready for this?"
The duo turned to face Krillin, and silently nodded with determination.
Mafin then asked,"Wait, what about everyone else on the Lookout?"
The monk replied with a smile,"Don't worry! During your trip yesterday, I informed everyone about the training. I also informed Roshi when I came back here. They all wish you the best of luck."
The duo smiled warmly upon hearing this.
Krillin looked up at the sky and exclaimed,"Alright! Let's head out!"
The group immediately blasted off the small island.
After an hour of flight, the group finally arrived, and they all safely landed on the ground.
The duo stood patiently, awaiting their first lesson.
Krillin cleared his throat and explained," Today, you will be performing a simple task: without using any sort of ki assistance, you'll have to find a small rock in the middle of this island. And not just any rock..."
Krillin picked up a small one nearby, and pulled out a random marker from his pocket.
The monk drew something on the rock, and he turned it around. It showed the "δΊ€" symbol.
"...It's this one.", said Krillin.
Then, with an impressive amount of strength, he threw the rock all the way into the jungle.
Krillin continued, "Whoever catches the rock first will have a glorious dinner. Whoever fails...cannot join us for dinner."
The duo's eyes widened in shock and fear.
"NO DINNER?!", they collectively thought.
Krillin exclaimed,"Well, what are you guys waiting for?! Go now!"
Mafin and Begu collectively yelped in suprise, and immediately ran off into the jungle.
21 asked with a worried tone of voice,"Krillin, are you sure this is a good idea?"
Krillin smirked,"I'm sure of it. I believe they can do this!"
The monk pulled out a capsule, clicked down on it, and threw the device a few feet away from where he and 21 were standing.
In a puff of smoke, a small circular house instantly appeared.
Krillin chuckled,"Perfect. Now let's just wait for them."
