Centa's Journey
By: Gigasbolt
Part 2
"We're gonna fly, Centa. Duh." Gohan jumped out the window. Centa gasped and ran over, only to see Gohan floating in the air. His hair conveyed his shock as it was a pale flesh color.
"How'd you do that?" Centa was, once again, amazed by Gohan's actions. His hair began to turn to its normal green again as he watched Gohan float.
"You mean you can't fly?" Gohan asked. Centa shook his head no, and Gohan began to think. Then, the answer came. "Come on, Centa, you can ride Icarus."
"Well, okay." Centa walked to the window and watched as Icarus flew back for him. Centa hopped on and grabbed onto his neck. "Ready, Gohan."
"HERE WE GO!" Gohan took off towards the Capsule Corp. and Icarus followed close behind.
"WHOA! Gohan, this is amazing! I'm actually flying!" Centa watched the ground rush by underneath him. His hair turned violet as he looked down. All the people walking around looked like ants. Centa watched them and laughed. Then, as Icarus flew up some, Centa almost fell off.
"Hold on tight, Centa." Gohan laughed. He remembered the first time he had gone flying. He'd been just like Centa. Amazed, astonished, and really interested in what was going on underneath him. Finally, they reached the place Gohan was looking for. They set down in a large open area in front of a dome building.
"Where are we, Gohan?" Centa looked on as Gohan walked to the dome building.
"Oh, this is the Capsule Corporation. My Mom's friend, Bulma lives here. We have to drop this off, remember?" Gohan held up the package.
"Oh yeah." Centa stepped off Icarus's back and his hair began to turn green. The giddiness of flying had worn off.
"Come on." Gohan walked in and they found Bulma. "Hi, Bulma."
"Gohan, oh hi. Who's your green haired friend?" Bulma walked over and tweaked Centa's cheek. Of course, she had to bend over to do it, and as Centa got a straight eye level view of Bulma's ample cleavage, his hair began to turn pink. He was blushing again.
"Oh hey, what's his hair doing?" Bulma asked. She felt the now pink hair, but it felt the same. "How'd you do that?"
"I don't know what's wrong with my hair, Mrs. Bulma. It's been like that since I was born." Centa's hair turned green again as she stood up.
"That's Ms. Bulma. And I'd like to study that, if you don't mind." She didn't give Centa a chance to argue as she dragged him into her lab. Gohan followed quizzically.
"Okay, this won't hurt a bit.. I hope your skin is more permeable than Vegeta's.. I broke countless needles on him until I found the right place. Then I had all the Saiya-jin blood I needed." Bulma smiled, remember how she'd found the spot. `"I don't need to give you Saiya-jin blood." Vegeta said, obnoxiously as he sat. He then jumped back up screaming as he grabbed his butt in pain. "What'd you sit on, Vegeta? Oh, how nice, a blood sample." Bulma picked up the needle Vegeta had been kind enough to impale his butt on.` "Heh heh heh."
"Bulma, what's so funny?" Gohan asked, as she swabbed Centa's arm.
"Nothing Gohan. Now, hold still. Here we go." Bulma stabbed the needle into Centa's arm. He didn't flinch, but his hair turned a shade of black. This obviously meant pain, Gohan thought. But, it wasn't very dark, so he didn't worry too much.
"There we go.." Bulma pulled the analyzing computer over to her and stuck the blood sample in. As the DNA code appeared, Gohan and Centa walked over and looked, too. Centa's hair turned back to green as his arm stopped hurting. "Hhmm.. That's strange."
"What's wrong, Bulma?" Gohan asked.
"Well, your friend there's got some blood in him that I can't identify. He's mostly human, about 55% but there's another part in him. The other 45% is what makes his hair change colors. Is there anything else different about him?" Bulma finished her quick-scan and turned to the boys. She noticed Gohan looking around and whistling; Centa was doing the same, but Centa's hair was a newly seen shade of grey. "Centa, what does gray mean?"
"Oh, that means that I'm telling a fib.. Oops.."
"CENTA!" Gohan looked at him angrily, but Centa's hair betrayed his feeling's again by turning pink.
"Gohan." Bulma looked at him reproachfully.
"Sorry. Centa's a lot stronger than a normal kid our age." Gohan answered her.
"Let's see how strong." She popped out a capsule car and threw it down. Centa then proceeded to lift it easily. "That's pretty strong. I'm gonna keep checking this DNA for whatever I can find. Now then, why did you come here?"
"Oh yeah. Here, Bulma. It's from my Mom." Gohan handed the package to Bulma and she unwrapped it. It was a small earthenware pot Chi-Chi had made Bulma for her collection.
"Oh, thank you! You make sure you tell her I loved it."
Bulma waved good-bye to the boys and put the pot in her kitchen.
"Where to now, Gohan?" Centa asked as they flew towards the forest.
"We're going to see Mr. Piccolo." Gohan landed in a large clearing and Icarus landed shortly afterward.
"Hey, where's Icarus going?" Centa asked. Icarus had walked off just as Centa got off.
"He doesn't really like the person we're about to meet, so he goes off and eats." Gohan got in the center and fired a large yellow beam into the sky.
"GOHAN! How'd you do that?? It's so cool!!" Centa watched the beam go into the air. Then, a big green guy came out of the woods behind Gohan. Gohan was to busy looking at Centa and trying to explain what he did to notice. "GOHAN! LOOK OUT!" Centa's hair began to change to a blue tint. Centa ran towards his friend as fast as he could, launching himself into the air over Gohan and hitting the green guy in the mouth. Apparently, he was caught off guard, and went flying back into a tree. He got up, rubbing his jaw.
"So, Gohan. Who's your little friend here?" Piccolo said, continueing to rub.
"CENTA! YOU HIT MR. PICCOLO! He's the one we're here to meet!" Gohan turned from reprimanding his friend. "I'm sorry, Mr. Piccolo. Centa didn't know who you were."
"That's okay, Gohan. He packs quite a wallop. Where'd you find him?" Piccolo was interested in the small kid who'd accomplished something many people had a hard time doing. He watched as the boy's hair changed from blue to green. The last time he'd felt a punch like that was when Freeza hit him in Form 2. The kid had potential. `Just like Gohan had when he was little,` thought Piccolo.
"He came to my school today, Mr. Piccolo. He helped me take care of some bullies and I thought he had potential. Except, he's never heard of ki." Gohan watched Piccolo hopefully, but saw his face fall a little at that.
"Well Gohan, I'm no Elder teacher. I can't start the kid with ki training. But, I see great potential. Just like you had when you were little. How old is he?" Piccolo had looked at the kid's height and was suprised to hear that he was Gohan's age. "Gohan, I suggest you take him to Roshie's house. That old pervert knows more about teaching ki than me. I use it better, but he'll learn what it is from Roshie. After all, he didn't become the Turtle Elder for nothing."
"You got it Mr. Piccolo." Gohan whistled for Icarus, and then had to go find him. "That stupid dragon.. He never comes when I want him to. You stay here, Centa." Gohan then ran off towards a fruit tree they'd passed earlier.
"Kid, you've got potential. Your name's Centa, right?" said Piccolo.
"That's right, sir. I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to punch you." Centa answered.
"That's okay. When you get done with that loser Roshie's training, I'll give you a real lesson." Piccolo winked at the boy, and flashed his canine teeth.
"Centa! Come on!" Gohan dragged Icarus away from the tree, struggling all the way.
"AARRKK!!" Icarus screamed. Roughly translated, he said "GOHAN! MY FOOD!"
"Oh shut up, you big crybaby. We've got an entire picnic basket of food. Besides, I put some of that fruit you were eating in their too. Okay?" Gohan said.
"Aak." Icarus replied. Roughly translated, he said "Oh, Okay."
Centa once again climbed on Icarus and they took off, both waving Good-bye to Piccolo. After about two hours of flying, they finally spotted the Kame House.
"Hey, it's Krillen." Gohan pointed at a glint of light moving around the house rapidly.
"Krillen is a glint of light? I got the impression from the story he was a human.." Centa didn't understand his friend's reasoning. His hair was again, white. They landed, and Centa realized what Gohan meant. The glint of light was the sun reflecting off Krillen's head.
"Hi, Krillen. This is my friend Centa. We're here to see Master Roshie. Centa needs to learn about ki." Gohan explained Centa's history and what had already happened. Krillen's jaw dropped when he heard Centa had belted Piccolo. He looked at Centa, who's hair was going back to green after it's white look.
"You hit Piccolo? Wow." That was all Krillen could say. "And to think, you're shorter than me. Heh." Krillen was happy for that. He felt satisfied with his height, but sometimes it was good to have somebody like him around. They entered the Kame House, looking to wake Master Roshie up from one of his many naps to begin Centa's training.
------------------------------------------------------
"YAWN! I hate all these weaklings." Gandono blasted another quick ki beam into one of the little blue things. It died quickly, leaving the Ryodian with no challenge for a fight.
The Ryodian, a race where fighters were raised. Ryodians were a large part of Freeza's army. They were strong, resilient, and loved to fight almost as much as the saiyans. They usually topped out at about 500,000, but Gandono was a prodigy. His power level had hit 500,000 and kept going. He was a secret operative for King Cold and later Freeza. He was going to be next in line for a spot on the Ginyu force, but they were destroyed by a supposed Super Saiyan. Gandono didn't believe in the myth of a Super Saiyan, but then Freeza's body was found. He had been released from service indefinitely, meaning he had quit when the Ginyu were destroyed. He didn't want to be stuck as a low-level soldier. He kept his special armor, and his scouter and personal space pod. The gold trim, the silver inlaid plating, no wonder he kept the special armor. He now traveled wherever there was supposed to be a challenge. His race had a large fin on the top of their head, which looked like a mohawk hair-do, but was really what they breathed with. Since it was a fin, they can breathe underwater and in hostile environments, which made them good shock troops. Their skin was orange, their pupils a distinct white, and their average height about 6 ft. No tail, humanoid hand and feet, no body hair. Kind of like big reptiles or amphibians.
Gandono breathed. `Where can I get a good challenge. My scouter measures me at about 900,000. I want somebody in my league!` He casually blasted another small alien running at his back into non-existence. `I think I'll try to find out where the Super Saiyan was from.` He walked to his pod, getting in and plugging his scouter into the computer. "Computer, please send out a power level search for powers above 600,000." He waited as the ship flew through space. Eventually, the computer beeped to get his attention. "Yes, computer?"
"Sir, we've found a planet that may harbor powers off that magnitude. It's in this galaxy, but very far. We estimate 5 months with no stops."
`Well, well, well.` "Computer, we maybe stopping, but set course for this planet." Gandono leaned back, preparing for a long trip. `I wager a good 8 months before I get there. Hell, maybe a year. There's still species to kill.` The pod just flew silently, heading in the direction for Earth.
------------------------------------------------------
"EH.. WHAT?" Master Roshie was yelling, not realizing he had ear plugs in and couldn't hear Krillen or Gohan. He thought they just weren't talking loud enough. "SPEAK UP, KRILLEN!! DON'T BE SHY. WHO'S THE KID, GOHAN?"
"MASTER ROSHIE!! TAKE YOUR EAR PLUGS OUT!!!" Krillen screamed. He couldn't believe his former master. He was so absent-minded. He'd taken a nap, putting ear plugs in. He had slept through Lunch sneezing and transforming, trashing the entire house in her rage. She then sneezed again and cleaned up the mess. He had only waken up after Krillen had turned an entire bucket of water onto his head. He was now sopping wet and yelling at the top of his lungs.
"EH?" Master Roshie began to feel his ears and discovered his ear plugs. "KRILLEN, I'VE JUST FIGURED OUT WHY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OR GOHAN. I'VE GOT MY EAR PLUGS IN!" Master Roshie began taking them out, as Krillen just fell to the floor, twitching. He hopped back up, bowing to the elder. "All right Krillen. What did you want to tell me about?"
"Master Roshie, will you please teach young Centa here about ki? Just like you taught me and Goku when we were little." Krillen hoped Master Roshie would go along with the idea.
"Eh.. Well, he'll have to go through the same thing that you and Goku had to do." Master Roshie's glasses shone just like his eyes behind them. He loved this part.
"Master Roshie, you can't ask Centa and Gohan to bring you another maid.. You've got Lunch." Krillen stated. This sounded pathetic to him, but Roshie bought it.
"You're right, Krillen. They need another task. Hmm..." Master Roshie sat on the couch and began to think of a task worthy of the world's most perverted man. Or Elder, for that matter. He finally stood back up, surprising the three, who had been talking about how they would get whatever it is he would ask for. "All right, I've made my decision. You boys must bring me a picture of the most beautiful girl in the town of Randis. It's got to have her... well, Krillen knows. He'll help you if you need it." Master Roshie sat back down, giggling in glee. He knew what they'd bring back.
"Sigh.. All right, let's go." Krillen walked out, followed by Gohan and Centa. The first two took off, Centa following on Icarus. They reached the town after three hours of flight and they were all tired. They set down and saw suddenly why Master Roshie loved this town's women. They were all beautiful. "THIS WILL TAKE FOREVER." Krillen was angry with his elder for doing this.
"I pick her." Centa pointed to a young woman with blonde hair.
"Master Roshie will like her. Okay, guys. Here's the plan." Krillen, Gohan and Centa huddled, ready to go through with the plan Krillen quickly outlined. Centa and Gohan began following the girl. Krillen hung back a while. Centa had been given Krillen's camera, which Krillen had gotten because Master Roshie gives assignments like this. A loud scream was heard and Gohan came running back, waving something around. A second scream was also heard, as Centa came hightailing back waving the camera. While Gohan was relatively safe, Centa had had to duck underneath her skirt while the underwear bandit made his break, so Centa was being chased by a screaming, red-faced blonde. Who, at the moment, was also throwing things from her purse at the group. Centa's hair was a strange mix between bright pink and blue. They immediately took off, Krillen and Gohan dragging Centa into the air because Icarus had bolted at the first scream.
"YOU GUYS TAKE IT EASY, I CAN'T FLY!" Centa yelled, watching the ground with eyes as big as saucers. Eventually, Icarus came back and allowed Centa to ride it. "Icarus, you're a big baby." Centa told the dragon, who proceeded to turn over and fly upside down, leaving Centa hanging on for dear life. "I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY." Icarus then let him back on. After the same boring flight back, they arrived at the Kame House again. Centa's hair was just beginning to turn back to normal.
Krillen handed him the camera and he rushed off to his black room.. He came back with a large cloth pressed to his nose and nodded at Gohan and Centa. "I'll train you." He said, blood seeping through the cloth.
-------------------------------------------------------
"All right, Centa. Ki is the power that gives you strength. You can use ki in a variety of ways if it's strong enough. For instance." Master Roshie waved the boys back and called Krillen over.
"Yes, Elder?"
"Krillen, I want you to prepare a Kamehameha. I will then block it with my own."
"Yes, Elder." Krillen pulled his hands back, blue energy funneling into them. The light began to shine through his hands as more and more ki was channeled in. "KA....ME...HA...ME..HAAAAA!!!" The large blue beam raced through the air straight towards Master Roshie.
"All right, now then... KAMEHAMEHA!!!" Master Roshie, being the person who created the move, barely needed to charge before he had a Kamehameha powerful enough to deflect Krillen's into the ocean. "Now you see there, boys. Your ki doesn't have to be stronger to beat someone. My power is nowhere near Krillen's, but I am more experienced, and used my ki to deflect his. You just have to use it more intelligently. Now, watch me do a Kamehameha like Krillen's." Master Roshie whipped his shirt off, showing his... elderly phsyique. "KKAAAA... MEEEE... HAAAA... MMMEEEE.. HAAAA!!" The Elder's body suddenly buffed out, making him a match for any body builder. Then, just as suddenly, all the bulk went into his hands as blue ki and he unleashed his Kamehameha. The attack was so awesome Krillen barely had time to dodge before his mentor caused the attack to soar right into the sky. "So you see, you can use your ki anyway you wish. You just have to find it inside you and manipulate it. I can help you discover it, but for more ki instruction, I recommend Yamcha or Tien." Master Roshie then walked over to Centa and proceeded to grab his head and knee him in the stomach several times, taunting the poor boy.
"Stop (ow) that (ow) right (ow) NOW!!" Centa screamed the last word and as he did, his anger unleashed a large ki aura that surrounded him. His hair stood up, pointy black.
"There you go.. Uh-oh..." Master Roshie had stopped but saw that Centa was still very angry with him. He turned and ran behind Krillen, very sure that his student could handle what the boy had.
"YYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!" Centa just kept getting stronger. He could feel his power growing the angrier he got. He raised his hands, holding each one in front of his body and open palmed. Black energy, just like his hair and his ki aura began to collect in the palm and around his hand. His hair stood on end as the energy grew and grew. "SHITOKA!!" Centa screamed, having absolutely no idea where the word had come from. But, whatever the case, it fit perfectly, because from each hand a large, half-moon shaped beam shot at headed directly towards Krillen and Master Roshie. Of course, after expending so much ki, Centa was drained and couldn't prepare another attack if he'd wanted to.
If Krillen had known what had happened to Centa, he wouldn't have been as worried. But he could feel the power of the attacks coming at him and he was scared senseless. The only thing he could do was to gather all the remaining energy had had into a giant Kamehameha and hope that stopped it. Krillen quickly flew his hands back, summoning all his ki. The blue ball quickly grew and expanded to fill his cupped hands. "KAAAMEEHAAMEEHAAA!" He screamed, releasing all his ki and aiming it directly at the two beams. The resulting explosion rocked the little island, nearly toppling the Kame House.
"My..my..my.. Centa, where did you learn that attack?" Master Roshie asked. He stared at the young boy, not knowing what to say. The boy's burst in power had raised his level exponentially. Master Roshie could feel it. `But, where did he learn an attack like that?`
"I don't know, Master Roshie. I just felt all this energy in my hands and that seemed like a good word to say." Centa was bewildered by his power too. He had no idea he had it in him. "Krillen, are you okay? I didn't mean to.." Centa's hair was falling back down into place and turning into a slight blue tinted green.
"Yeah, Centa. I'm all right, don't feel bad. With a power like that, we should train you. You'd be a strong force for good." Krillen looked towards Master Roshie, and they both nodded. Centa was to begin training with Master Roshie later that day. As Centa heard what was going to happen to him, his hair went from the normal green to a shiny violet.

He was going to be next in line for a spot on the Ginyu force, but they were destroyed by a supposed Super Saiyan. Gandono didn't believe in the myth of a Super Saiyan, but then Freeza's body was found. He had been released from service indefinitely, meaning he had quit when the Ginyu were destroyed. He didn't want to be stuck as a low-level soldier. He kept his special armor, and his scouter and personal space pod. The gold trim, the silver inlaid plating, no wonder he kept the special armor. He now traveled wherever there was supposed to be a challenge. His race had a large fin on the top of their head, which looked like a mohawk hair-do, but was really what they breathed with. Since it was a fin, they can breathe underwater and in hostile environments, which made them good shock troops. Their skin was orange, their pupils a distinct white, and their average height about 6 ft. No tail, humanoid hand and feet, no body hair. Kind of like big reptiles or amphibians.
Gandono breathed. `Where can I get a good challenge. My scouter measures me at about 900,000. I want somebody in my league!` He casually blasted another small alien running at his back into non-existence. `I think I'll try to find out where the Super Saiyan was from.` He walked to his pod, getting in and plugging his scouter into the computer. "Computer, please send out a power level search for powers above 600,000." He waited as the ship flew through space. Eventually, the computer beeped to get his attention. "Yes, computer?"
"Sir, we've found a planet that may harbor powers off that magnitude. It's in this galaxy, but very far. We estimate 5 months with no stops."
`Well, well, well.` "Computer, we maybe stopping, but set course for this planet." Gandono leaned back, preparing for a long trip. `I wager a good 8 months before I get there. Hell, maybe a year. There's still species to kill.` The pod just flew silently, heading in the direction for Earth.

"EH.. WHAT?" Master Roshie was yelling, not realizing he had ear plugs in and couldn't hear Krillen or Gohan. He thought they just weren't talking loud enough. "SPEAK UP, KRILLEN!! DON'T BE SHY. WHO'S THE KID, GOHAN?"
"MASTER ROSHIE!! TAKE YOUR EAR PLUGS OUT!!!" Krillen screamed. He couldn't believe his former master. He was so absent-minded. He'd taken a nap, putting ear plugs in. He had slept through Lunch sneezing and transforming, trashing the entire house in her rage. She then sneezed again and cleaned up the mess. He had only waken up after Krillen had turned an entire bucket of water onto his head. He was now sopping wet and yelling at the top of his lungs.
"EH?" Master Roshie began to feel his ears and discovered his ear plugs. "KRILLEN, I'VE JUST FIGURED OUT WHY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OR GOHAN. I'VE GOT MY EAR PLUGS IN!" Master Roshie began taking them out, as Krillen just fell to the floor, twitching. He hopped back up, bowing to the elder. "All right Krillen. What did you want to tell me about?"
"Master Roshie, will you please teach young Centa here about ki? Just like you taught me and Goku when we were little." Krillen hoped Master Roshie would go along with the idea.
"Eh.. Well, he'll have to go through the same thing that you and Goku had to do." Master Roshie's glasses shone just like his eyes behind them. He loved this part.
"Master Roshie, you can't ask Centa and Gohan to bring you another maid.. You've got Lunch." Krillen stated. This sounded pathetic to him, but Roshie bought it.
"You're right, Krillen. They need another task. Hmm..." Master Roshie sat on the couch and began to think of a task worthy of the world's most perverted man. Or Elder, for that matter. He finally stood back up, surprising the three, who had been talking about how they would get whatever it is he would ask for. "All right, I've made my decision. You boys must bring me a picture of the most beautiful girl in the town of Randis. It's got to have her... well, Krillen knows. He'll help you if you need it." Master Roshie sat back down, giggling in glee. He knew what they'd bring back.
"Sigh.. All right, let's go." Krillen walked out, followed by Gohan and Centa. The first two took off, Centa following on Icarus. They reached the town after three hours of flight and they were all tired. They set down and saw suddenly why Master Roshie loved this town's women. They were all beautiful. "THIS WILL TAKE FOREVER." Krillen was angry with his elder for doing this.
"I pick her." Centa pointed to a young woman with blonde hair.
"Master Roshie will like her. Okay, guys. Here's the plan." Krillen, Gohan and Centa huddled, ready to go through with the plan Krillen quickly outlined. Centa and Gohan began following the girl. Krillen hung back a while. Centa had been given Krillen's camera, which Krillen had gotten because Master Roshie gives assignments like this. A loud scream was heard and Gohan came running back, waving something around. A second scream was also heard, as Centa came hightailing back waving the camera. While Gohan was relatively safe, Centa had had to duck underneath her skirt while the underwear bandit made his break, so Centa was being chased by a screaming, red-faced blonde. Who, at the moment, was also throwing things from her purse at the group. Centa's hair was a strange mix between bright pink and blue. They immediately took off, Krillen and Gohan dragging Centa into the air because Icarus had bolted at the first scream.
"YOU GUYS TAKE IT EASY, I CAN'T FLY!" Centa yelled, watching the ground with eyes as big as saucers. Eventually, Icarus came back and allowed Centa to ride it. "Icarus, you're a big baby." Centa told the dragon, who proceeded to turn over and fly upside down, leaving Centa hanging on for dear life. "I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY." Icarus then let him back on. After the same boring flight back, they arrived at the Kame House again. Centa's hair was just beginning to turn back to normal.
Krillen handed him the camera and he rushed off to his black room.. He came back with a large cloth pressed to his nose and nodded at Gohan and Centa. "I'll train you." He said, blood seeping through the cloth.
-------------------------------------------------------
"All right, Centa. Ki is the power that gives you strength. You can use ki in a variety of ways if it's strong enough. For instance." Master Roshie waved the boys back and called Krillen over.
"Yes, Elder?"
"Krillen, I want you to prepare a Kamehameha. I will then block it with my own."
"Yes, Elder." Krillen pulled his hands back, blue energy funneling into them. The light began to shine through his hands as more and more ki was channeled in. "KA....ME...HA...ME..HAAAAA!!!" The large blue beam raced through the air straight towards Master Roshie.
"All right, now then... KAMEHAMEHA!!!" Master Roshie, being the person who created the move, barely needed to charge before he had a Kamehameha powerful enough to deflect Krillen's into the ocean. "Now you see there, boys. Your ki doesn't have to be stronger to beat someone. My power is nowhere near Krillen's, but I am more experienced, and used my ki to deflect his. You just have to use it more intelligently. Now, watch me do a Kamehameha like Krillen's." Master Roshie whipped his shirt off, showing his... elderly phsyique. "KKAAAA... MEEEE... HAAAA... MMMEEEE.. HAAAA!!" The Elder's body suddenly buffed out, making him a match for any body builder. Then, just as suddenly, all the bulk went into his hands as blue ki and he unleashed his Kamehameha. The attack was so awesome Krillen barely had time to dodge before his mentor caused the attack to soar right into the sky. "So you see, you can use your ki anyway you wish. You just have to find it inside you and manipulate it. I can help you discover it, but for more ki instruction, I recommend Yamcha or Tien." Master Roshie then walked over to Centa and proceeded to grab his head and knee him in the stomach several times, taunting the poor boy.
"Stop (ow) that (ow) right (ow) NOW!!" Centa screamed the last word and as he did, his anger unleashed a large ki aura that surrounded him. His hair stood up, pointy black.
"There you go.. Uh-oh..." Master Roshie had stopped but saw that Centa was still very angry with him. He turned and ran behind Krillen, very sure that his student could handle what the boy had.
"YYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!" Centa just kept getting stronger. He could feel his power growing the angrier he got. He raised his hands, holding each one in front of his body and open palmed. Black energy, just like his hair and his ki aura began to collect in the palm and around his hand. His hair stood on end as the energy grew and grew. "SHITOKA!!" Centa screamed, having absolutely no idea where the word had come from. But, whatever the case, it fit perfectly, because from each hand a large, half-moon shaped beam shot at headed directly towards Krillen and Master Roshie. Of course, after expending so much ki, Centa was drained and couldn't prepare another attack if he'd wanted to.
If Krillen had known what had happened to Centa, he wouldn't have been as worried. But he could feel the power of the attacks coming at him and he was scared senseless. The only thing he could do was to gather all the remaining energy had had into a giant Kamehameha and hope that stopped it. Krillen quickly flew his hands back, summoning all his ki. The blue ball quickly grew and expanded to fill his cupped hands. "KAAAMEEHAAMEEHAAA!" He screamed, releasing all his ki and aiming it directly at the two beams. The resulting explosion rocked the little island, nearly toppling the Kame House.
"My..my..my.. Centa, where did you learn that attack?" Master Roshie asked. He stared at the young boy, not knowing what to say. The boy's burst in power had raised his level exponentially. Master Roshie could feel it. `But, where did he learn an attack like that?`
"I don't know, Master Roshie. I just felt all this energy in my hands and that seemed like a good word to say." Centa was bewildered by his power too. He had no idea he had it in him. "Krillen, are you okay? I didn't mean to.." Centa's hair was falling back down into place and turning into a slight blue tinted green.
"Yeah, Centa. I'm all right, don't feel bad. With a power like that, we should train you. You'd be a strong force for good." Krillen looked towards Master Roshie, and they both nodded. Centa was to begin training with Master Roshie later that day. As Centa heard what was going to happen to him, his hair went from the normal green to a shiny violet.
