Chapter Six.
Yajirobei wouldn't be able to help much, considering that he can't fly, and that his power level is below one hundred.
Goku sensed the urgency of his son, and best friend, but knew he must continue to train, or be overwhelmed. However, thoughts rushed through his head, and doubt overflowed his normally calm mind. "No, Gohan," he yelled, and took off to help his son.
"No, Krillin, I don't think we can make it," said Gohan, still only barely managing to fend off Vegeta's beam of Ki energy. Krillin knew that Gohan was probably right, but, instead, further increased his power.
Vegeta, now, began to crumble under the pressure. "No, you fools," he yelled, in anger. Releasing his beam, he rushed up to the startled Krillin, and began to pummel him into the rocks below. Gohan was initially startled, but soon came to his senses, and rushed into the fray to assist his friend against Vegeta.
As Goku soared over the mountains he sensed large collisions of Ki occuring between his son, and the Saiyajin prince, Vegeta. He could feel both of their power levels lower, and he increased his speed, just in case Gohan succumbed to the pressure of Vegeta's wrath.
Now, Goku was close enough that all three of those battling in the canyons between the massive mountains could sense his power level. "That meddling Saiyajin," said Vegeta, under his breath. However, the Saiyajin prince was not afraid of the new challenge which possessed a power level of 7.4 thousand, on the contrary, he embraced it as an opportunity to show off his skills.
An vile snicker overtook Vegeta's face as the one he called Kakarot came into view. Immediately, he rushed off to combat the strongest protector of Earth. Krillin believed that Goku would easily be able to take care of the Saiyajin threat, but Gohan wasn't as sure. However, he trusted his friend, and stood with him, while his father grappled with Vegeta.
Unfortunately, even with his new found power, he was unable to successfully combat Vegeta. The Saiyajin prince tossed Goku into the surrounding rocks without much trouble. Kakarot managed to stumble to his feet, but blood gathered at his lip, which had been cut in the fall.
"Mr. Popo, I'm glad you have returned," said Kami, in delight.
"Yes, Kami. I have fulfilled your wish. I have the DragonBalls here," replyed Mr. Popo.
"I shall talk to King Kai. He may have different wishes, now."
Piccolo appeared on King Kai's planet, with the halo adorning his head. Immediately, the Namek took to training, although he did not assist Yamcha, and Tien in their troubles. His power level was much stronger than the humans, thus, his level of training was much higher. He constantly performed, and improved on such techniques as Twin Thunder, and Triple Form. Using the Triple Form technique, he fought with his other selves, and doubled his level of strength, easily, within an hour.
King Kai was amazed at Piccolo's progress in his training, and he kept notes of the Namek's power level every five minutes. King Kai came to find, quite surprisingly, that Piccolo's power level grew by nearly two hundred, and sixty every five minutes of training.
The Namek continued to train, ruthlessly, for three hours. After what he had undergone, his power level had risen from 3.1 thousand to 8.7 thousand. King Kai was astonished at what the Namek had done, but knew that Vegeta's power level still exceeded twelve thousand, and that even the combined strength of Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo wouldn't be enough - yet - to defeat the Saiyajin invader.
After the intense training that the Namek had undergone Tien, and Yamcha were more inspired to train their own bodies to become just what Piccolo had become. Suddenly, Yamcha realized that he had a Capsule from Capsule Corp which contained a G-Force Modifier, which would enable the two humans to modify the G-Force to their level of training. Such a thing would be able to do for them what the Triple Form technique did for Piccolo.
After releasing the G-Force Modifier from its Capsule, the pair rushed inside, and immediately set the G-Force to twenty. Push-ups, sit-ups, and any other form of excersize ensued, and within minutes, they had each added two hundred to their power levels. The G-Force pressure was hard on their bodies, and after only half-an-hour, they gave up their struggle, came out, hastily devoured a Zenzu bean, ate lunch, and went back to training.
"Kami? Are you there?" asked King Kai, remembering to call on the Namek who was Guardian of Earth to see if Mr. Popo had successfully completed his task.
"Yes, I am here, King Kai," he responded.
"Good. I have a request to make of Mr. Popo. Tell him to restore Tien. I know that Piccolo is also here, but he is in training, and is constantly improving. If we wait until he is a high power level, then resurrect him, it will have a much better effect," reasoned King Kai.
"Alright," replyed Kami. "I will do as you ask." Addressing his servant, he commanded,"Mr. Popo, call on the Shenglong. Request the resurrection of Tiensennin. An explanation will be provided after the instruction is carried out." Mr. Popo proceeded to summon the Shenglong, and soon dark clouds swirled over Earth, and the Dragon arose.
"No, father," cried Gohan, as Goku was pummeled into the rocks, each time unable - and not allowed - to recover. This heavily angered the young half-Saiyajin, half-Human, and he soon proceeded to power-up to his full strength to engage in combat with the evil Vegeta.
He cried out as the Ki surged through every muscle of his body. He, for the first time, was reaching into the depths of his body, and pulling out every available resource. The pure white Ki energy swirled around his body, almost covering him as a veil. Even his hair stood on end as the Ki came to empower his muscles. Krillin was shocked at what pure Ki Goku's son possessed. Even he did not hold such power.
When the Ki was at its strongest he lunged at the Saiyajin, Vegeta, and punched his ribcage, using very little of his Ki. Vegeta stumbled backwards, three of his ribs fractured from the punch. His face displayed agony, but his heart displayed unreleased fury. He eventually managed to lift off from the ground, and entered into a vicious grappling match with Vegeta, their pure Ki alone, blowing away rock, tree, and dust....
