Author's Notes: The last review made a very good point. I should have pointed out that my story is going to tend to do such things. I am not a HUGE expert on the DB series but I am pretty knowledgeable about it. I will change the title though to Dragonball Z: The Lost Chronicle. The last reviewers comment about being rude....well...YOU WERE YOU JERK. Nah. Just kiddin'. I welcome any tips to make it better. Sadly I can't change the story to fit those pointers. Let's just say mine is an alternate happening. Sound good? Good. Thanks for all the compliments too. Make sure everyone reads Universal Search by hiro. If you like mine, you'll like his.

Chapter Three: Preparations

"Young man breakfast is--" Chi Chi began to, reaching her hand over, ready to shake him. Without warning Hitsura's hand shot towards hers with a tight grip. "What are you doing?! Let go of me!" Hitsura sprung up and looked around.

"Huh? Wha? Oh I apologize ma'am. It's a reflex." Hitsura apologized. Chi Chi breathed a huge sigh of relief and assured him it was all right. The tired young boy yawned and stretched, slowly getting out of bed. After tripping over a stuffed dinosaur Hitsura noticed the red Gi folded neatly besides his bed. He picked it up and walked behind the changing wall.

"It's good to see you out and about so early Gohan." Goku said piling the small breakfast sushi onto his plate.

"Mom forced me. She wanted me to be here to meet sleeping beauty." Grumbled Gohan.

"Hi mister! I'm Goten!" Shouted the tiny warrior as Hitsura appeared from the doorway.

"I am happy to meet you all. I must thank you again for providing shelter." He sat down next to Goten and couldn't help but smile at the boys cheeriness.

"You want some breakfast mister? Mom made it herself! Yummy!" Goten passed a plate of the sushi to Hitsura right as Goku was reaching for it.

"Thank you. My name is Hitsura Goten. It's a delight to meet someone with such animation." They shook hands and Hitsura placed his helping of breakfast on his plate. "I don't think we've met. Who might you be?" Hitsura asked Gohan.

"Annoyed." Gohan said plainly.

"Gohan! Watch your manners!" Chi Chi exclaimed, embarrassed.

"Don't worry. No offence was taken. I can be like that in the morning as well." Hitsura smiled, making fast work of the food in front of him.

`If only it was just morning......' Goten thought, lowering his head.

"That Gi is for until Chi Chi sows your other one back together. I hope it's ok for right now."

"I am very grateful Goku. After breakfast I would like to begin preparing for Tsuyomi." As soon as this was said Gohan growled.

"What do you mean prepare? Who did you piss off and why are you bringing us into it?"

"I am not sure I understand. I mean only to train to be ready for what's yet to come."

"Yet to come? YET TO COME? Why are all of you psychopaths coming to us all the time?! LEAVE US BE!" Gohan said, storming up to his room. After a long silence, Goku lead Hitsura out back.

"Our first lesson is teaching you to focus. Your fighting is not thought out and is done with more emotion than knowledge. One you can land a hit on me using only your body, we will move on. If I see you unfocused I will correct it." Goku said, becoming way more serious than he had been at the breakfast table.

"As you wish; Sensei." Without a warning his image had appeared right in front of Goku, throwing a jab to in front of him, only to be swept to the ground. What surprised Hitsura was the fact Goku had seemed like he hadn't moved, still looking down at him from the same spot. With a growl he leaped up, throwing a wild flurry of jabs and uppercuts at the target whose hands seemed as if they were moving unbelievably slow but in truth were not. He jumped up and threw a lightning fast round house to the head of Goku, finding himself on the floor from a slam not a second later. He got up on all fours and slammed his fist into the ground angrily, creating a small crater in the process. "This is impossible!"

"Not impossible. Your making it that. I may be fast but not to the extent of impossibility. Get up. Try again." Hitsura nodded with a small sigh and brushed himself off. He blurred in front of Goku and attempted to thrust his elbow in the gut of his opponent, missing, spinning around, and throwing a side kick to Goku's head. Goku wasted no time in grasping the foot and swinging the boy around, finally releasing him into a small sapling. Hitsura dismissed the feeling of fury and leaped towards Goku with a double snap kick. The unsuccessful kick led Hitsura into a deep concentration.

`I can do this. I just need to focus on my target and avoid any possible obstacle.' With that, Goku threw a jab right at the jaw of Hitsura. This time Hitsura ducked under the
attack, stepped forward and successfully slammed his elbow into the spine of his attacker.
"I did it! I hit y--" Before celebration could fully commence he was knocked over by kick to the gut.

"Never let your guard down. Even if you think you have completed the task at hand." After a couple stretches, Goku announced the next section to the training.

"Being able to withstand, deflect, and control anothers Ki takes more than just a strong body, but a strong mind. This next couples lessons will teach you to do all three." When Hitsura nodded he went on. "Your mind must be able to take in foreign ki as a weapon. To do so you need to learn to take it in and dispel it as if it were your own. I don't mean to take in physically. Contrary to popular belief Ki has a consciousness. Not the kind you and me possess, but a kind completely oblivious to anyone and anything. Your mind must think as if its connecting to another mind and, not to sound too corny, simply tell it to go away ; leave you alone. Sometimes, as in this next exercise, it will merely pass around you. To move on you must withstand a simple Kamehameha wave. Prepare yourself." Hitsura nodded and put a foot back and getting in a defensive position. "KA---ME-----HA---ME--HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bellowed Goku summoning forth blue energy into his hand and dispelling it into a rather large beam. The attack swept up Hitsura with ease and carried him several yards back. Unwilling to give up, Hitsura staggered to his feet and walked a few steps forward. His Gi top had been almost completely shredded in the blast. When he signaled he was ready Goku cupped his palms and threw them forward, the same beam slamming into the crossed arms of its target. Only a few seconds later he was swept up and tossed again. "Remember Hitsura, let it pass around you but don't let it take you with it."

"Right." Hitsura replied, getting to his feet once more. He placed his arms in front of him like an X and put a foot back for stability once more. "Ready." This time the beam came faster and harder, causing Hitsura's feet to grind against the ground. "I w-w-won't g-give in!" Not to long after the outburst was Hitsura swept up once more.

"Maybe we should call it a day. Three Kamehameha waves is impressive but you need to know when enough is enough."

"No. One more time. Please." He pleaded, Goku sighing and nodding. With a familiar blast fired towards him he once more began to grind against the ground but this time he did allow it to take him, he even managed to walk against it. When it faded behind him he smiled a smile larger than Goku had seen him do sense his arrival. "I did it! Did you see? I fought against it!"

"Now that you have proved yourself persistent, I think its fair to say we can continue. Agreed?"

"You bet."

As the night continued Hitsura learned how to reverse Ki back to Goku and deflect the stronger blasts. He had a good right to be exhausted. The two lessons took him all day, and partially into the night. He found no trouble drifting into sleep.

Six miles south of the house...............
"Just as I thought. That foolish boy made it." Came a raspy voice examining a downed pod with a small piece of teal cloth on the open hatch. "Once I'm strong enough you and me are going to have a long "chat" little Hitsura. Until then....." A maniacal laugh rang its way thru the trees, the owls fleeing in fear into the night sky.


I apologize if this Chapter was a bit tedious. I wanted you readers to get a good idea of how our Hitsura is coming along as a fighter. The chapters to come will be a little more dramatic and action packed. Tsuyomi won't be revealed for a couple chapters now. Don't want the story progressing too fast. I also want to give hiro some digital skin. Keep the chapters coming bro.
