Chapter 2: First Contact

Back at Dende's place, Goten and Gohan stopped their training suddenly. They knew Piccolo and Dende had also sensed the energy down below. Piccolo was the first to speak.

"I sense a power down below. It is nowhere near any of ours, but it has great potential. This is a rare find in a human. That must be why they realized their power before being taught to. Someone must greet this young boy and bring him here. He needs training...he needs to learn how to control his new power. He could be the extra bit of fighting power we need when Saiyans eventually do land on Earth again.", Piccolo says in his usual deadpan manner.

"Gohan, Goten...you two go down to the planet, find this boy, and bring him here. I would go myself, but my appearance may be too frightening for him.", Dende says.

Goten and Gohan then jump off and fly in the direction of where they felt the energy. They landed behind Rekka and approached him. Rekka was still glowing with energy...it was an unusual sensation, and it was becoming much easier to maintain his power.

"You must be the one whose energy we felt.", Goten said.

Rekka looked back at the two brothers. "Who are you? How did you get here? We're in the middle of the desert."

"We can help you understand your power.", Gohan interjects. "Come with us to Dende's place and you will learn all you need to know."

"I don't know about this...", Rekka says.

"Don't you want to know how to control your power?", Goten says.

"I just realized this power...how could you two possibly know about it already?", Rekka asks.

"Because at one point, we realized ours as well.", Gohan says.

"We're a lot like you. We can teach you how to understand and control your power.", Goten adds.

"Well...alright...I will go with you...but only because I'm curious.", Rekka says uneasily.

Gohan and Goten each grab one of his arms, and then much to Rekka's surprise, fly him to Dende's place.

Rekka takes a look over the edge, and then looks to Goten and Gohan. "How did you do that? How do you fly."

"You will be shown how to as well in due time.", Dende says.

Rekka looks over at Dende and Piccolo. "What are you guys?"

"We are Nameks.", Dende replies.

"Well, that's good enough for me, I suppose...", Rekka replies. "This is a lot to take in."

"Rest, young human...for tomorrow, your training begins.", Dende says.
