Dragon Ball Nu
Chapter 2
'Gohan, Dende, Piccolo, and Fortune Teller Baba arrive in the Other World waiting in line to speak to King Yemma behind the line of spirits of those who have recently died with the universe. Fortune Teller Baba shows the group where King Yemma's palace is and then proceeds to head back to the real world, but not before explaining to Dende how he himself can transport between the two realms. Will Gohan be allowed to train with Goku in the Other World or will King Yemma put a stop to it?'
"Thank you, Fortune Teller Baba! I will remember to bring you your gift!" Gohan almost shouts as Baba leaves the group to their business in Other World.
"You're welcome young man, and Dende remember as the Guardian of Earth you too can travel between realms. Kami use to do it for Goku." Baba now floating away and disappearing back into the real world.
"Dende, do you think you'll be able to pick me up after the training session if I get the all-clear to go train?" Gohan asking, oozing pure excitement.
"I should be able to. If you just call out for me I will keep an ear out. I should be able to hear you from the Lookout." Dende now leading the group into the palace as they are now next in line to see King Yemma right behind one spirit speaking to King Yemma now.
"What do you mean I get a choice to go to either Heaven or Other World? I don't understand, what is the difference?" The floating cloud now being regranted his body and appearing as a human looking alien but with blue skin and a halo floating above his head now."
"Because of how you died and you are an overall good spirit you get a choice in Heaven you can feel free to relax and enjoy pleasures everyday of your being forever. In the Other World you will retain your halo but you will be allowed to do as you wish. You can fight, train, relax, eat, sleep it is just a different realm for those who also want to be able to keep fight, because there is absolutely no fighting in Heaven." King Yemma's voice booming from behind his massive desk looking slightly annoyed always having to explain the Other World to new spirits.
"Oh, okay. Well I guess I will choose Heaven. I'm not really a fighter by any means." The young looking alien making his decision with a smile on his face, before being walking with an attendant of King Yemma's to the plane that takes spirits to Heaven.
"Next!" King Yemma's loud voice shouts making the room of the palace slightly vibrate with his demand before eyeing of the small group walking up to his desk and noticing none of them have halos. "Hmmm, none of you are dead." Looking and seeing the symbol on Dende's chest. "The guardian of Earth? Where is Kami? I thought that old man was still Earth's Guardian?"
Piccolo stepping forward before Dende has a chance to answer. "The being you knew as Kami is now fused with me. I am not sure if you remember me, but my name is Piccolo."
"Piccolo! Of course I remember that name. You were the young alien who died and was hear a few years ago. I try not to forget a face." King Yemma smiling. "So this small fry right here must be the new Guardian of Earth." Eyeing Dende over another time.
"Umm, yes sir, King Yemma sir." Dende taking a slight bow, unsure of how to act around the giant. "We are here to ask a favor of you."
King Yemma sitting up straight then raising one eyebrow in disbelief. "A favor of me? What in the world could you want from me?" Noticing Gohan and seeing just how familiar he appears to be. "You, the young Earth boy. You look like a great fighter who resides in Other World, Goku." Looking slightly puzzled.
Gohan taking a slight bow and stepping forward. "King Yemma, my name is Gohan. The warrior you are speaking of, Goku, he is my father." Gohan now smiling towards King Yemma who is shocked from the information divulged to him.
"You mean to tell me you are the son of Goku!?" King Yemma looking very skeptical. "I don't know if I believe that. Show me some of that great power then that I know Goku possess."
"Oh, uh. Alright. Dende you may want to take a step back." Gohan taking a wide forward facing stance as Dende steps away. "I hope you are ready." Gohan then tensing up his body for a second before raising his energy levels. "Haaaaaaaa." Suddenly Gohan's energy begins to shoot up and he turns into a Super Saiyan without flinching but continues to raise his energy higher. "Haaaaaaa!" The aura surrounding Gohan begins to grow as his energy continues to raise. The room begins to shake in the palace and King Yemma is completely taken off guard by the immense energy and pressure pouring out of Gohan. The palace beginning to shake so much that King Yemma notices parts of the room starting to crack under the intense power.
"Alright! That's enough! I believe you." King Yemma yelling with a booming voice that catches Gohan's attention and he stops raising his power level. "That is quite impressive for such a young Earthling to possess." Gohan now powering down back into his base state.
"Well, thank you King Yemma." Gohan now smiling and feeling pretty good.
"So what is it I can do for the three of you?"
Dende stepping back forward in the group standing now equal with Gohan. "King Yemma we were wondering if our friend Gohan here could be granted a pass to meet King Kai and train in the Other World for 24 hours." Dende now speaking with a little more confidence than before.
"You just expect a 24 hour period to be granted to just an Earthling?" Sounded completely shocked and disgusted by the idea. "I don't care if he is the son of Goku I can't just change how I run this place." Suddenly Goku and King Kai appear within the palace by Goku's Instant Transmisson technique completely catching King Yemma off guard.
"Actually King Yemma, it was at my request the young man be allowed to train here." King Kai now completely cutting off King Yemma's rant and walking up to the desk. "You see this is not just any ordinary boy. He actually beat Cell just a couple of years ago and prevented the Earth from being destroyed." King Kai now making a gesture trying to pretend like he is whispering now to just King Yemma. "Between you and me. I would love to train him and add him to my list of exceptional students, who knows maybe someday he will even protect this realm."
King Yemma now starting to sweat from the shock of learning Gohan defeated Cell. "Oh, I did not realize that this boy was not only the son of Goku, but also the savior of Earth from a couple years ago." Now looking down at some papers on his desk. "Well it may take some extra paperwork to work through the details of it all, but I suppose I can find a way to grant young Gohan here a pass to train for the requested time." King Yemma now looking a bit frazzled.
"Good. I'm glad you see the importance of this decision King Yemma, thank you." King Kai responds with a smile and a nod. Goku now turning to see his son from the first time in two years.
"Hey, Gohan, you know you have made me proud son?" Goku smiling from ear to ear with pride looking at his son who has also grown a few inches and is beginning to look more like the man who will protect the Earth.
"Dad!" Gohan almost bursting into tear, running into his father's arms and receiving a hug for the first time in two years. "I can't believe it is really you." Gohan releasing the hug after a few seconds and regaining his composure.
Goku then looks over to greet Piccolo and Dende. "Piccolo, I owe you. Thank you for looking over my son. You really are a great friend. If I could make it up to you ever I would." Smiling to Piccolo.
"Don't worry about it, Goku. You know I would always watch over Gohan for you. He is an incredible young man." Piccolo showing a hint of emotion before it quickly fades back to his normal stern demeanor.
"It is also nice to see you again Dende." Goku smiling and waving at Dende. "You have also grown a lot taller. You are really starting to look like how Kami used to being Earth's Guardian.
Dende taking a slight bow acknowledging the compliment given by Goku. "Why, thank you Goku it does mean a lot to hear that. I have nothing but great stories about Kami."
"Gohan it is nice to finally meet you." King Kai now turning to Gohan and greeting Gohan.
Gohan giving a bow to show his respect for King Kai who is flattered by Gohan's sign of respect. "Oh Gohan." King Kai laughing. "I'm not used to being super respected with Goku being around all of the time."
Goku laughing and rubbing his head. "Hahaha. I'm sorry King Kai. You know I do respect you."
King Kai now looking a little more seriously at Goku. "I know Goku, you respect me so much that I am dead right now." King Kai now looking at the ground and little more irritated. "Gohan before I agree to let you train with me, or I guess Goku, I do what to give you a small test." King Kai now smiling mischievously. "I need you to tell me a joke. A warrior without a sense of humor I refuse to let train with me."
Gohan looking shocked at the request. His face of shocked turning then to a face of thinking and being puzzled. "What do you call a fly with no wings?" Gohan now with a completely serious look on his face and King Kai waiting in anticipation. "A walk!" King Kai completely stunned from Gohan's joke. Then trying to cover his mouth giggling before bursting out into laughter.
"HAHAHAHA! Oooo! Oooo! A walk. That's too good." Laughing so hard he is holding his gut in pain then looking at Goku. "Your son here is way funnier than what you were with your first joke." King Kai snorting a little in-between breaths.
"Gohan, before I forget there is a fighter I do want you to meet here in Other World." Goku interrupting King Kai's laughter. "There is a warrior here in Other World I do want you to meet and he is unbelievably strong." Goku pausing for a minute. "His name is Pikkon."
'Who is this mysterious warrior, Pikkon? Why does Goku want Gohan to meet this figure? What training is in store for our young warrior? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Nu!'
