"Master Korin thank you." Krillin gave a respectful bow as he hovered just outside the window. He was clutching a small bag of Senzu beans. Uh, why did you give me so many though?" He had only wanted one so he was a bit confused.
"Who can see the future Krillin?" He pointed at himself with a goofy smirk. "That's right me. Don't worry kid it's not an immediate problem. However, when the Blue Beast comes let the child go. Trust me you'll have gratitude to spare when it's over." The white cat waved the bald human off. "Now go, or things will become worse."
"Uh of course, I'll see you later!" Krillin flew down the tower confused. Why would a blue beast be bothering his students?"
Majo placed a cool cloth on Lee's forehead. He seemed to have a fever. Suddenly she heard a sound behind her. As she turned she saw someone that had a similar hairstyle to her fellow pupil. As well as master Roshi's turtle.
Gai was dazed for a few moments as he took in his star student's state. Then he rushed over to the unconscious teenager. "Lee what happened? Speak to me Lee, who did this to you?" He began shaking him roughly in his arms.
"Excuse me sir, your going to make him worse. Please stop that right now." She visibly shuttered as the adult looked at her with almost comically tear filled eyes.
"Hey bowl cut, back off. Didn't you hear Majo your going to hurt him." Eighteen glared at the newcomer as she spoke.
Suddenly, a dramatic change came over the leaf village Jonin. He stood agressively and replied. "Lee is full of the power of youth. He'll be fine believe me." He cracked his neck and stretched for a moment. "So young lady where is this Krillin turtle told me about. I must test his power of youth against mine. I am Mighto Gai Lee's master."
Eighteen smiled arrogantly and stood at the ready. "Oh really, well Krillin honey is busy getting something to help the kid. So if you're eager for battle. How about I show you the difference in skill between you and I." She summoned a ball of ki energy and prepared to throw it at Gai.
"Eighteen stop, you don't know how to hold back well enough yet." Krillin dropped between the warriors quickly. He tossed the bag of Senzu beans at his female student. "Majo give Lee one of those. Then hold on to the rest." The green haired teenager nodded and administered the magic food.
Eighteen let her energy ball go and gave her bald lover a cheek kiss. "Your right Krillin honey, sorry." She walked over to turtle with a seductive sway to her hips. She seemed oblivious to the twenty foot wide crater left by her energy attack.
Lee woke up feeling as if the curry of life had saved him again. All his internal and external wounds healed rapidly. He flip onto his feet smiling. Gai-sensei and Krillin-sensei were about to spar. He could feel the combat tension and yelled excitedly. "Good luck sensei, let me see the power of youth you both possess!" He held up a thumb as his teeth sparkled in the sun.
Majo shook her head with relief. She spoke quietly with joy. "Glad to see your okay Lee."
Eighteen was not as neutral as the younger boy. "Show him your no slouch Krillin honey."
Gai laughed loudly at his pupils recovery and enthusiasm. He returned the thumbs up as light shined from his own toothy smile. "That's right Lee never give up. I hope your ready Krillin. Our power of youth will reveal the better master."
"Your exactly as Lee described Gai." The bald human shrugged his shoulders in acceptance. "I suggest you don't hold back!"
"Going easy isn't my way. May the most youthful prevail." Gai opened the first three gates immediately and charged as his chakra flooded him with strength. "Leaf Hurricane!" A sweeping roundhouse kick connected. However, it felt like he just kicked an iron wall.
Krillin brought his left elbow down trapping the leg. Before, his opponent could react a straight punch landed in the gut. "You better try harder or you will be crushed in no time!" To punctuate his words he brought his own foot up and released his hold. The taller man went flying thru a couple trees as a result.
Gai would not stay down however and opened the fourth gate. As he moved he seemed to disappear. The Z fighter was having trouble tracking the movements thru the thick trees. Two burly arms grappled as he shouted. "Primary Lotus!"
Due to his practical training with Lee. Krillin was ready for this technique. Both elbows nailed the man's ribs on either side. A notable crack of bone echoed in both their ears.
Gai gritted his teeth in pain. He knew some bones definitely fractured with those strikes. He was forced to let go as he landed on the ground roughly. In that moment he knew he was outmatched at this level. The fifth gate opened as he started recovering from the dangerous blow. He smiled at the thrill of battling a skilled opponent. A rain of yellow energy was coming at great speed for him now. "Summoning Jutsu!" A massive turtle appeared in front of him. He was glad his friend Turtle held a path to the sacred island open. It was the only way his Jutsu could work outside his world.
"Barrier Jutsu!" The summoned creature created an energy shield that barely held the two dozen ki blast at bay as it crumpled from the shear force. The beast looked drained from maintaining the protection. "Sorry Mighto-San I can't keep this up. Reverse Summoning Jutsu!" With a puff of white smoke the great turtle disappeared.
Gai was concerned that his most powerful friend could barely handle the attack. "I guess it's time to go all out. Sixth gate open!" Sadly in a friendly match this was the best he had. Anymore could kill him. Sparing was not the place to risk that. He rushed like a comet at Krillin who waited defensively on the ground.
Krillin had taken his opponents damage tolerance into account at this point. As Gai sped towards him he waited. Then as he was about to get hit by a powerful kick it was stopped with devestating force. The Z fighter screamed as he raised his power level several hundred points. The blue beast was deflected by his own strength. Gai's eyes glazed over as the blackness of unconsciousness took him.
Lee and Majo were both breathing heavy. Krillin's menacing aura drove them both to their knees. The two fourteen year olds realized something in that moment. Their new master held a strength they couldn't fully understand yet.
