Ranma and Akane In: Saiyan Style Martial Arts
Tendo Dojo, After Breakfast..........................
Akane had appologized to Ranma several times, and he kept telling her not to worry about it, and it wasn't her fault. "is that Shampoo a regualr around here?"Goku asked, wondering just who the young woman he had jsut saved, was.
"Oh, yeah,she wants to marry me,"Ranma said non-chalantly. Goku paused, to look up at the ceiling.
"I love those Senzu Beans,"Ranma commented on the beans.
"You make it sound like you had more than one,"Goku said, not knowing of the battle between Ranma and Akane, the night before.
"Trunks and Goten gave me and Akane one each, after our battle last night. We were pretty beat up,"Ranma said.
Goku choked on his food. He was finally able to swallow it and say,"WHAT?! NO ONE TOLD ME!" Goku was a little frustrated,"YOU GUYS KNOW WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF THOSE!"Goku reminded Trunks and Goten. They both looked down, embarassed they had forgotten to tell him. He turned back to the residents,"We have a very limited supply of Senzu Beans, so you guys are gonna have to do without them. You seem to get into fights a lot around herem, and I can't jsut give you a bean everytime, you get wounded from a battle,"Goku told them.
He relaxed and went back to eating. They were trying to eat as civilized as they could. It was especially hard for them. Poor guys! Goku wasn't at ease though, even as he was eating. 'This is really strange, how Akane learned all that so fast. It's almost unheard of! She can blast brick walls apart and fly! Well, okay, my first try with the Kamehameha, I blasted a car apart,but....still!'Goku thought to himself. "I just can't add it up."
Goku wondered if any time had past in his world. Then, he got an idea. He would try it after finishing breakfast. He ate a little faster, so he could go to see if it would work. He finished, complimented Kasumi, who blushed again, then , Goku went outside.
He concentrated and said a name, in his mind,'King Kai,'he thought,'Hellooooo, King Kai, you there?' Goku could ehar a slight snoring, or at least he thought he could. 'Hmmmmm.... KING KAI!'he thought loudly.
Then he heard a,"HUH-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE?!" Then King Kai realized it was Goku. "Goku?"he said. "DON'T DO THAT! I WAS SLEEPING!"King Kai yelled at Goku.
'Oh.....sorry King Kai,'Goku said, rubbing his head.
King Kai got a strange look on his face,"Where are you Goku, you seem kind of.....distant. It's harder to hear you,"King Kai said, wondering why hear couldn't hear Goku very well.
'Well, actually, I was hoping you could tell me! From what I can tell, yesterday, me Gohan, Goten and Trunks, suddenly appeared in different places, none of which looks familiar. Then, we lose most of our ability to sense energy. It's slowly recovering, but we're still not back to full strength, yet,'Goku told King Kai.
"Hmmm, very peculiar,"King Kai thought out loud. "All right, I'll see if I can find you,"King Kai told him, his anntenae, perking up. "Hmmm,"He hummed audibly. "Well.......that's strange,"he muttered.
"What is it King Kai?!"Goku asked, eager to klnow what his old master had found.
"Well, Goku......I can't be positive,"Kig Kai said, starting to sweat,"But by the looks of it......your in a other dimension,"he said, somehow doubting his own judgement, a little.
'Wha?'Goku said, dumbfounded by King Kai's discovery.
"I don't know how, but that's what I came up with,"King Kai finished.
Goku stood up straight, then thought,'I wonder if Bulma could help. King Kai, do you think you could patch me throught to Bulma?"Goku asked.
"Well, maybe if you were in your own dimension, but I don't think I can, you being where you are. I can give her a message, though,"King Kai told him.
'That'd work,'Goku told him. 'Just tell her as much as you can about our situation, and that Trunks is here, and not to worry about him. An also tell her to call ChiChi and tell her where we are and not to worry, cause she'll be working on the problem. Tell her how to reach you, so she can tell you if she gets something, then you can tell whatever she said, to me. I guess that's all, for now. Tell her, I'll tell her if anything else important happens, via, you,'Goku listed to King Kai. 'Oh, and one other thing King Kai, you got any information on a girl here named, Akane...Tendo, I think it was,"Goku asked, eager to know if King Kai could find anything.
"Sorry Goku, shweetheart, other dimensions aren't my thing. I never could, if I wantedto!"King Kai said, doing an impression.
'Thanks King Kai,'Goku thought, walking back inside.
"Uh, admiring the scenery Goku?Ranma asked.
"Oh, um, yeah..."Goku said, wondering if they would understand about King Kai. He would tell them later.
He sat back down at the low table, waiting for everyone to finish eating, so they could start training. Everyone finished, and Kasumi took the bowls to the kitchen, to start to wash them. Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Ranma, Akane, (and.....Ryoga?)walked outside. Goku looked at Ryoga. "Ryoga Hibiki, right?"Goku asked, trying to remember the young man's name.
Ryoga nodded,"Um, c-could I.....train with you?"Ryoga asked, being pesimistic. 'They'd never want me to train with them! Oh why?!' Ryoga was surprised at what Goku said.
"Sure! The more the merrier!"Goku said, with a smile. Ryoga looked up, wonderment on his face.
"Um...thanks,"Ryoga said.
'Oh great,'Ranma thought,'he's going to ruin everything, isn't he?!'
Goku got in front of the teens, and he told them to line up. "Now, first, I want you to do something that might sound a little weird. All of you, charge up your most powerful blast......and shoot it at me,"he told them. They all went wide-eyed, but obeyed. Akane and Ranma formed blue blasts in their hands,a nd Ryoga did his best to put a Perfect Shi Shi Hokudan, into ball form. They all fired at once.
Goku frowned at the blasts as they neared him,"HMMM!"he made a noise with his mouth closed. The blasts exploded at once, and an explosion and then smoke, enveloped Goku. The three martial artists gaped, as the smoke cleared away. Goku was floating in the air, untouched. "That, it how you can block an energy attack, as long as you're strong enough to stop it,"he explained, not surprised at the look on their faces.
He started to teach them how block energy attacks. "What you have to do, it try to form your energy into a barrier, so it can block the blast,"Goku said. "Now, we're going to practice,"he said, but stopped, seeing their wide-eyed expressions. "OH! Don't worry, I won't be blasting at you! You'll practice with eachother,"he told them quickly. They let out a sigh of relief. Ranma and Ryoga decided to practice together, and Akane was left without a partner. "Darn, odd number of people,"Goku said, trying to think of what to do.
Akane looked toward Goten. "Goten, do you want to be my partner?"she asked smiling.
Goten slightly blushed, but managed to hide it. He liked seeing her smile. He snapped out of this and said, "Uh, sure Akane!"in his usual happy tone.
Everyone comenced practicing, and in not too long, they could all manage to block eachother's blasts. It was still a little rough around the edges, but they got the just of it, and Goku decided to move on.
"Well, since you've all done so well, I've decided to show you something, that I might be able to teach you later, but it takes a lot of practice. All the Saiyas knew what was coming. Goku's new pupils watched, wondering what Goku was going to do. Goku put his hands together, by his side, and everyone sensed an increase in his power. Wind started to pick up around him, and he started to chant,"KAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEEEE-" A blue ball of energy began to form in his hands. The Nerima teens all knew this was no mere blast like they had been shooting, this was......more powerful, by a long shot. "HAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEEE-"he continued, the ball growing larger and larger. Then, his power shot up a by a lot more,"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"he finished, yelling. The blast shot out of his hands, but this blast was a continuous beam. The trainees' faces were shocked, by the sheer power of the blast. Goku lifted his hands up, and the blast moved with them. His students' eyes followed it. Then, he closed his hands together, and the blast made a giant, blinding, expolosion. Everyone except the Saiyans shielded their eyes.
Goku relaxed, the wind around him diapated, and he spoke again,"That......was the Kamehameha Wave. You gather all the energy from your body, and formit into a beam of pure energy,"he told them. Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga were stilled shocked. "Believe me, it's not as easy as it sounds!"Goku said, putting his hand on his head and laughing. Everyone almost face-faulted...............................
The Cat Cafe, Before Training Began....................
Shampoo came running into the restaraunt, shouting,"GREAT GRANDMOTHER!! GREAT GRANDMOTHER!!" Cologne looked up to see Shampoo, with a look of shock on her face.
"What is it child?"she said calmly.
Shampoo couldn't seem to talk straight. She was talking so fast, sometimes she would slip into Chinese. Something about a, Man jumping in front of Akane, who almost killed her, or some such rubbish, as Cologne thought. "Slow down child!"she said, trying to calm down her, normally level-headed Great Grand daughter. "Now, try again, slower this time,"she said, calmly.
Shampoo let out a big sigh, and started over. "Shampoo go to see Ranma, and hug him. He asks why I love him, since pig boy punched me yesterday. I show Ranma rules, and he get stiff. Akane came outside and punch Ranma, cause Shampoo hug him. Shampoo get mad, and Akane try to kill Shampoo, cause she fired energy blast or something! Then Ranma jump in front of Shampoo and deflect blast away, and falls to ground. Akane get mad and try to kill Shampoo again, and some strange man run in front of Akane. Shampoo couldn't even see him! He held her arm like she nothing, and told her to calm down. Then Akane went back to house. Then he say that Akane been training, and acting weird. Rnam woke up, and Shampoo came back here,"she said, finishing her long story.
Cologne chuckled,"Dear child, Akane could never-"she cut herself off, as she sensed a very high power level, coming from.......the Tendo Dojo?! You may be right Shampoo,"she said in surprise. "Let's go see what they're up to,"she said, hopping onto her cane. Shampoo nodded and got on her bike. They flew out the doors.
Mousse had over heard all this, and wondered. "Perhaps I should go with them......"he said to himself, before running off, himself.........................
Back At The Tendo Dojo.................
"All right, the next thing I'll be teaching you all, is-"he was cut off, by the sound.........of the biggest lecher on Earth.
"AKANE MY SWEET!"Happosai called. Goku turned around to see a small man, jumping towards Akane.
"Get away old freak!"Akane yelled, as he neared her. She was about to punch him, when Goten rushed in front of her.
He looked angry, very uncommon. The old lech landed right in Goten's fist. Goten's eyes flashed, dangerously, as the old man flew away.
Akane looked at Goten, in surprise. "Uh, thanks Goten,"she said, still surprised, by his actions.
"N-no problem,"he said, trying not to blush, or at least, not to show it, as he walked back to where he stood before.
"Uhhhh,"Goku said, never having seen his son act like this before,"Who was that?"he asked slowly, looking back to Akane.
"That was "Master" Happosai-"she was cut off by Ranma.
"Master of Perversion!"he commented.
"Yeah, he's an old lech, and is always stealing girls' underwear, and flipping up girls' dresses. Believe me, he deserved what he got,"Akane said, looking to Goten, still trying to hide his face.
"Oh,"Goku said. "Very.....interesting,"he said, trying to find a word to use.
"Anyway, like I was saying-"Goku was interuppted, yet again, by an old wonon, balancing on a stick, on the Tendo's roof, with Shampoo. "Oh, hi Shampoo! Ah, and who's this?"he asked, motioning to the old woman, with Shampoo.
They two jumped off the roof to the ground, and Shampoo told him,"This great Granmother. Very wise."
Goku smiled and looked over at her,"Ah! Very nice to meet you maam,"he said bowing.
Cologne was put into slight shock, not only because he greeted her nicely, and he had been one of the few people, she had met lately, who hadn't called her an old ghoul. "You-you are the great power I sensed?"she asked, surprised at how nice and polite he was.
"Yeah, he said, I was doing a little demonstration earlier,"Goku explained.
'A......little........demonstration.......'Cologne thought,'That energy I felt earlier, was beyond anything I had had ever dreamed of!'
"A....demonstration?"she asked, repeating her thoughts.
"Yeah, a special move of mine, the Kamehameha Wave,"Goku explained.
"Really? Would you mind showing us?"she asked, suspicious of this newcomer.
"I guess,"Goku said, not really knowing why she needed to see his attack. 'Oh well,'he thought, shrugging. He powered up, and did the attack again. Cologne couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this. Shampoo's got big beyond all belief.
"Well, there it is,"Goku said, modestly, and smiling.
The Amazons were still in shock, when Mousse jumped over the wall. "What's going on Shampoo?"Mousse asked Akane.
"Grrrrrrrrr......"she growled,"Would you stop calling me SHAMPOO!"Akane yelled. She punted Mousse over the roof.
Cologne watched,"She has gotten stronger,"Cologne sensed, a little worried about how this would work out. "I'm guessing these young men are with you too?"she motioned to the other Saiyans.
"Uh yeah, the two with the black hair, are my sons, Gohan and Goten,"he said, pointing to each of them,"and this one,"he motioned to Trunks,"is the son of someone I know, named Vegeta,"Goku finished.
Finally being properly introduced, the Saiyans and Amazons bowed to eachother. 'I wonder where Vegeta is now,'Goku wondered, having brought up his old rival's name. 'Probably training,'he thought, chuckling...............................
Elsewhere on the planet..........................
"What a waste of time!"Vegeta yelled, frustrated. He was flying, trying to find a high power level. "Kakarot's probably training, getting stronger than me, right now!"he yelled. Funny how that works out, isn't it?
Back At The Tendo Dojo.....................
"Just what kind of training have you been through Akane?"Cologne asked, wondering what Akane had learned.
"Why don't you come back tommorow, and I'll show you,"Akane said, dangerously.
"Fine by me. Come Shampoo. We will continue this conversation tommorow, Goku,"Cologne yelled, as she jumped away on her staff, as Shampoo rode her bike.
Mousse ran after them. "Wait for me!!"he yelled.
Goku looked at him. "Hey! That's the guy we met last night Gohan!"Goku said.
Gohan shaded his yeys from the Sun and smiled,"It sure is!"he laughed.
"Who was that?"Goku asked Ranma.
"Mousse, he told him. "He's nearsighted, and in love with Shampoo, but she's in love with me, so he's always trying to kill me,"Ranma said, like all of this would make perfect sense.
"Oh,"Goku said staring for a moment. Then coming out of it. "Anyway, the next thing we'll be doing, is making you all faster. Power is of no use, if you can't catch your opponent. "First, let's have demonstration. Who wants to volunteer to try to catch me?"Goku asked. Ranma got up and walked over. "All right Ranma, when I give the word, I'll start running, and you try to catch me, okay?"
"Right,"Ranma said, and nodded.
"On your mark.......get seeeeet..........GO!"Goku yelled, as he started running backwards, around the yard, as Ranma tried to catch him, but no such luck.
Eventually, Ranma stopped, put his hands on his legs, panted and said,"You're too........fast...."
"Yes, one reason, is that I've trained in weighted clothing, before, but unfortunately, I don't have any at the moment, so we'll have to improvize." He looked around for some heavy objects. He saw a few heavy looking rocks, and went to pick them up.(And they were heavy, really heavy!) "Do you guys have any rope?"Goku asked. Kasumi heard, and went to get some. She came back with enough rope, for what Goku wanted to do. He tied rocks around all of their arms, legs, and a big rock on their backs. They all slumped, from the weight of the rocks, but tried to stand up. They all succeded to stand up, but it was hard to move. "Now,"Goku said, all we need is a motivational tool. He went up to Ranma and whispered in his ear,"Insult Ryoga."
Ranma perked up,"Now you're speakin' my language!" He looked toward Ryoga and yelled,"Hey P-Chan! Try to catch this!"he said, attempting his bestto run across the yard.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS RANMA!"Ryoga yelled back at Ranma, trying to chase after him, with the weight of the rocks on his body. The chase insued, very slowly.
Goku chuckled,"Now what do we do with you Akane?"Goku asked himself. "Hmmmm....."
Goku ran up alongside Ranma, still struggling to run, from the madened Ryoga. "Ranma, I know it might sound crazy, but......try to get on Akane's bad side. It's the only way to get her to chase you,"Goku whispered.
Ranma looked at him like he was crazy, then with a sigh, yelled,"Hey Macho Chick! Think you can catch me?!"
Akane heard this, her eyes flashed, and she attempted to chase Ranma. This chase went on, until they all got tired, and rested for a few minutes. For the nex few hours, they struggled to do warm-ups and fight eachother.
They were all worn out, when Goku said,"All right, take the rocks off." They were all overjoyed that they could take the heavy objects off now.
"Ah! I feel as light as a feather!"Akane said, happy.
Goku smiled,"Jump." They all looked at him for a moment, then decided to do what he said. They all squatted and jumped. They saw that, where they normally would have fallen back to the ground, they could jump higher than ever. They were even in the clouds. They were all overjoyed. then they started to drop.
'My legs are gonna break!'Ranma thought. He hadn't thought of the consequences before.
'Great!'Akane thought. 'I hope somebody's there catch us!'she thought, falling towards the ground. There wasn't, and they all landed, and to their surprise, it didn't hurt them at all!
"I'm fine!"Ranma yelled.
"Me too!"Akane yelled, overjoyed.
Ryoga just looked up into the sky, in praise. 'Maybe I'll finally get strong enough to beat Ranma!'he thought, happily.
"Try running,"Goku told them. They immediatly started running around the yard, at blinding speed. None of them could believe what training in those rocks had done for them. "Now, try practicing,"Goku said, smiling at the pleased look on his pupils' faces. Their hands and feet were only blurs, as they cut throught the air, with an audible,"Swish."
Then.....they heard something they had all been desperatly waiting for,"LUUUUNCH!"Kasumi yelled out side, and up the stairs.
They all ran to the table, as blurs, to any normal eye. Like Kasumi's. She looked over, and there they were! "Wow! You guys must really be hungry!"Kasumi said, smiling, as they all smiled back and licked their lips.
"AKANE!"chirped a voice, as Happosai came bounding into the house, going straight for Akane. Ryoga's and Goten's fist flew into his face, very fastly, I might add, and Happosai was out the door again.
Akane looked at the two. 'Maybe they'll get along!'Akane smiled, seeing her two friends together.
There was one thing for sure, they would all eat like Saiyans today.........................
In The Dragon Ball Z Dimension, before breakfast...................
Bulma was on her way to eat breakfast, hoping Trunks and Vegeta were back, when she heard a voice in her head,"Bulma, can you hear me?"
"Who's there? She asked out loud, looking around to see who was talking to her.
"This is King Kai,"the voice in her head.
"You mean the one who trained Goku?"she asked the voice.
"That's me shweetheart!"he said, doing another impression.
"Wh-what do you want?"she asked, wondering what the great martial arts master would want with her.
"I've talked to Goku, and I think, if you call his wife, she won't know where him, Gohan, or Goten are. I do know where they are, kind of, and your son,"he said.
Bulma's eyes widened at the mention of Trunks. "Where?!"she blurted out, worried about him.
King Kai told Bulma they were in another dimension, and didn't know how they got there, and all the specifics about t what dimension it was. She told him, that she was working on REEAO, which he found very peculiar. "Did they say anything about Vegeta?"she asked, worried about her husband as well.
"No, but they said they'd tell me to tell you anything they do find out, that might be of help,"he told her. "I'll be sure to tell them to tell me if they see him. They wanted information, when you've discovered something, so just think my name. If I don't answer, think it louder, and so on. They wanted you to call ChiChi, explain it to her, and tell her they said not to worry,"King Kai finished.
"All right,"Bulma told him.
"Remember, just think my name!"King Kai said, before going back to finding out as much as he could, about the dimension Goku and everyone was in. Or, he went back to whatever he does in his free time......... Nah! The first one!
'Why did I have to be the one to tell ChiCHi?!'Bulma asked herself, sliding her hand down her face, knoing this was going to become a fiasco...............................
Back At The Tendo Dojo.........................
Everyone put down their bowls, and complimented Kasumi. They were all in a very good, mood, especially after eating. "You're all too much!"Kasumi said smiling,"It was nothing!" They wiped teir mouths clean and walked outside, eager to continue the training.
"All right!"Goku said, patting his stomach, now, we'll go through something I know you'll all like a lot,"Goku said. Everyone waited to see what it was. "Akane, Goten already taught you this, flying,"he said. Ranma and Ryoga's faces lit up, with overwhelming joy. "You should probably pay attention too Akane, just in case Goten missed something. Akane nodded. The next few hours were spent, perfecting flying, how to deflect and cancell out energy blasts. Akane seemed to learn the fastest. This still disturbed Goku...............
*******************************************************
There we go! Another Chapter! Tell me, am I going the slightest overboard, with the whole Goten likes Akane thing? I just wan't to make sure it's not too much. Please keep the comments and suggestions coming! Thanks!

The trainees' faces were shocked, by the sheer power of the blast. Goku lifted his hands up, and the blast moved with them. His students' eyes followed it. Then, he closed his hands together, and the blast made a giant, blinding, expolosion. Everyone except the Saiyans shielded their eyes.
Goku relaxed, the wind around him diapated, and he spoke again,"That......was the Kamehameha Wave. You gather all the energy from your body, and formit into a beam of pure energy,"he told them. Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga were stilled shocked. "Believe me, it's not as easy as it sounds!"Goku said, putting his hand on his head and laughing. Everyone almost face-faulted...............................
The Cat Cafe, Before Training Began....................
Shampoo came running into the restaraunt, shouting,"GREAT GRANDMOTHER!! GREAT GRANDMOTHER!!" Cologne looked up to see Shampoo, with a look of shock on her face.
"What is it child?"she said calmly.
Shampoo couldn't seem to talk straight. She was talking so fast, sometimes she would slip into Chinese. Something about a, Man jumping in front of Akane, who almost killed her, or some such rubbish, as Cologne thought. "Slow down child!"she said, trying to calm down her, normally level-headed Great Grand daughter. "Now, try again, slower this time,"she said, calmly.
Shampoo let out a big sigh, and started over. "Shampoo go to see Ranma, and hug him. He asks why I love him, since pig boy punched me yesterday. I show Ranma rules, and he get stiff. Akane came outside and punch Ranma, cause Shampoo hug him. Shampoo get mad, and Akane try to kill Shampoo, cause she fired energy blast or something! Then Ranma jump in front of Shampoo and deflect blast away, and falls to ground. Akane get mad and try to kill Shampoo again, and some strange man run in front of Akane. Shampoo couldn't even see him! He held her arm like she nothing, and told her to calm down. Then Akane went back to house. Then he say that Akane been training, and acting weird. Rnam woke up, and Shampoo came back here,"she said, finishing her long story.
Cologne chuckled,"Dear child, Akane could never-"she cut herself off, as she sensed a very high power level, coming from.......the Tendo Dojo?! You may be right Shampoo,"she said in surprise. "Let's go see what they're up to,"she said, hopping onto her cane. Shampoo nodded and got on her bike. They flew out the doors.
Mousse had over heard all this, and wondered. "Perhaps I should go with them......"he said to himself, before running off, himself.........................
Back At The Tendo Dojo.................
"All right, the next thing I'll be teaching you all, is-"he was cut off, by the sound.........of the biggest lecher on Earth.
"AKANE MY SWEET!"Happosai called. Goku turned around to see a small man, jumping towards Akane.
"Get away old freak!"Akane yelled, as he neared her. She was about to punch him, when Goten rushed in front of her.
He looked angry, very uncommon. The old lech landed right in Goten's fist. Goten's eyes flashed, dangerously, as the old man flew away.
Akane looked at Goten, in surprise. "Uh, thanks Goten,"she said, still surprised, by his actions.
"N-no problem,"he said, trying not to blush, or at least, not to show it, as he walked back to where he stood before.
"Uhhhh,"Goku said, never having seen his son act like this before,"Who was that?"he asked slowly, looking back to Akane.
"That was "Master" Happosai-"she was cut off by Ranma.
"Master of Perversion!"he commented.
"Yeah, he's an old lech, and is always stealing girls' underwear, and flipping up girls' dresses. Believe me, he deserved what he got,"Akane said, looking to Goten, still trying to hide his face.
"Oh,"Goku said. "Very.....interesting,"he said, trying to find a word to use.
"Anyway, like I was saying-"Goku was interuppted, yet again, by an old wonon, balancing on a stick, on the Tendo's roof, with Shampoo. "Oh, hi Shampoo! Ah, and who's this?"he asked, motioning to the old woman, with Shampoo.
They two jumped off the roof to the ground, and Shampoo told him,"This great Granmother. Very wise."
Goku smiled and looked over at her,"Ah! Very nice to meet you maam,"he said bowing.
Cologne was put into slight shock, not only because he greeted her nicely, and he had been one of the few people, she had met lately, who hadn't called her an old ghoul. "You-you are the great power I sensed?"she asked, surprised at how nice and polite he was.
"Yeah, he said, I was doing a little demonstration earlier,"Goku explained.
'A......little........demonstration.......'Cologne thought,'That energy I felt earlier, was beyond anything I had had ever dreamed of!'
"A....demonstration?"she asked, repeating her thoughts.
"Yeah, a special move of mine, the Kamehameha Wave,"Goku explained.
"Really? Would you mind showing us?"she asked, suspicious of this newcomer.
"I guess,"Goku said, not really knowing why she needed to see his attack. 'Oh well,'he thought, shrugging. He powered up, and did the attack again. Cologne couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this. Shampoo's got big beyond all belief.
"Well, there it is,"Goku said, modestly, and smiling.
The Amazons were still in shock, when Mousse jumped over the wall. "What's going on Shampoo?"Mousse asked Akane.
"Grrrrrrrrr......"she growled,"Would you stop calling me SHAMPOO!"Akane yelled. She punted Mousse over the roof.
Cologne watched,"She has gotten stronger,"Cologne sensed, a little worried about how this would work out. "I'm guessing these young men are with you too?"she motioned to the other Saiyans.
"Uh yeah, the two with the black hair, are my sons, Gohan and Goten,"he said, pointing to each of them,"and this one,"he motioned to Trunks,"is the son of someone I know, named Vegeta,"Goku finished.
Finally being properly introduced, the Saiyans and Amazons bowed to eachother. 'I wonder where Vegeta is now,'Goku wondered, having brought up his old rival's name. 'Probably training,'he thought, chuckling...............................
Elsewhere on the planet..........................
"What a waste of time!"Vegeta yelled, frustrated. He was flying, trying to find a high power level. "Kakarot's probably training, getting stronger than me, right now!"he yelled. Funny how that works out, isn't it?
Back At The Tendo Dojo.....................
"Just what kind of training have you been through Akane?"Cologne asked, wondering what Akane had learned.
"Why don't you come back tommorow, and I'll show you,"Akane said, dangerously.
"Fine by me. Come Shampoo. We will continue this conversation tommorow, Goku,"Cologne yelled, as she jumped away on her staff, as Shampoo rode her bike.
Mousse ran after them. "Wait for me!!"he yelled.
Goku looked at him. "Hey! That's the guy we met last night Gohan!"Goku said.
Gohan shaded his yeys from the Sun and smiled,"It sure is!"he laughed.
"Who was that?"Goku asked Ranma.
"Mousse, he told him. "He's nearsighted, and in love with Shampoo, but she's in love with me, so he's always trying to kill me,"Ranma said, like all of this would make perfect sense.
"Oh,"Goku said staring for a moment. Then coming out of it. "Anyway, the next thing we'll be doing, is making you all faster. Power is of no use, if you can't catch your opponent. "First, let's have demonstration. Who wants to volunteer to try to catch me?"Goku asked. Ranma got up and walked over. "All right Ranma, when I give the word, I'll start running, and you try to catch me, okay?"
"Right,"Ranma said, and nodded.
"On your mark.......get seeeeet..........GO!"Goku yelled, as he started running backwards, around the yard, as Ranma tried to catch him, but no such luck.
Eventually, Ranma stopped, put his hands on his legs, panted and said,"You're too........fast...."
"Yes, one reason, is that I've trained in weighted clothing, before, but unfortunately, I don't have any at the moment, so we'll have to improvize." He looked around for some heavy objects. He saw a few heavy looking rocks, and went to pick them up.(And they were heavy, really heavy!) "Do you guys have any rope?"Goku asked. Kasumi heard, and went to get some. She came back with enough rope, for what Goku wanted to do. He tied rocks around all of their arms, legs, and a big rock on their backs. They all slumped, from the weight of the rocks, but tried to stand up. They all succeded to stand up, but it was hard to move. "Now,"Goku said, all we need is a motivational tool. He went up to Ranma and whispered in his ear,"Insult Ryoga."
Ranma perked up,"Now you're speakin' my language!" He looked toward Ryoga and yelled,"Hey P-Chan! Try to catch this!"he said, attempting his bestto run across the yard.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS RANMA!"Ryoga yelled back at Ranma, trying to chase after him, with the weight of the rocks on his body. The chase insued, very slowly.
Goku chuckled,"Now what do we do with you Akane?"Goku asked himself. "Hmmmm....."
Goku ran up alongside Ranma, still struggling to run, from the madened Ryoga. "Ranma, I know it might sound crazy, but......try to get on Akane's bad side. It's the only way to get her to chase you,"Goku whispered.
Ranma looked at him like he was crazy, then with a sigh, yelled,"Hey Macho Chick! Think you can catch me?!"
Akane heard this, her eyes flashed, and she attempted to chase Ranma. This chase went on, until they all got tired, and rested for a few minutes. For the nex few hours, they struggled to do warm-ups and fight eachother.
They were all worn out, when Goku said,"All right, take the rocks off." They were all overjoyed that they could take the heavy objects off now.
"Ah! I feel as light as a feather!"Akane said, happy.
Goku smiled,"Jump." They all looked at him for a moment, then decided to do what he said. They all squatted and jumped. They saw that, where they normally would have fallen back to the ground, they could jump higher than ever. They were even in the clouds. They were all overjoyed. then they started to drop.
'My legs are gonna break!'Ranma thought. He hadn't thought of the consequences before.
'Great!'Akane thought. 'I hope somebody's there catch us!'she thought, falling towards the ground. There wasn't, and they all landed, and to their surprise, it didn't hurt them at all!
"I'm fine!"Ranma yelled.
"Me too!"Akane yelled, overjoyed.
Ryoga just looked up into the sky, in praise. 'Maybe I'll finally get strong enough to beat Ranma!'he thought, happily.
"Try running,"Goku told them. They immediatly started running around the yard, at blinding speed. None of them could believe what training in those rocks had done for them. "Now, try practicing,"Goku said, smiling at the pleased look on his pupils' faces. Their hands and feet were only blurs, as they cut throught the air, with an audible,"Swish."
Then.....they heard something they had all been desperatly waiting for,"LUUUUNCH!"Kasumi yelled out side, and up the stairs.
They all ran to the table, as blurs, to any normal eye. Like Kasumi's. She looked over, and there they were! "Wow! You guys must really be hungry!"Kasumi said, smiling, as they all smiled back and licked their lips.
"AKANE!"chirped a voice, as Happosai came bounding into the house, going straight for Akane. Ryoga's and Goten's fist flew into his face, very fastly, I might add, and Happosai was out the door again.
Akane looked at the two. 'Maybe they'll get along!'Akane smiled, seeing her two friends together.
There was one thing for sure, they would all eat like Saiyans today.........................
In The Dragon Ball Z Dimension, before breakfast...................
Bulma was on her way to eat breakfast, hoping Trunks and Vegeta were back, when she heard a voice in her head,"Bulma, can you hear me?"
"Who's there? She asked out loud, looking around to see who was talking to her.
"This is King Kai,"the voice in her head.
"You mean the one who trained Goku?"she asked the voice.
"That's me shweetheart!"he said, doing another impression.
"Wh-what do you want?"she asked, wondering what the great martial arts master would want with her.
"I've talked to Goku, and I think, if you call his wife, she won't know where him, Gohan, or Goten are. I do know where they are, kind of, and your son,"he said.
Bulma's eyes widened at the mention of Trunks. "Where?!"she blurted out, worried about him.
King Kai told Bulma they were in another dimension, and didn't know how they got there, and all the specifics about t what dimension it was. She told him, that she was working on REEAO, which he found very peculiar. "Did they say anything about Vegeta?"she asked, worried about her husband as well.
"No, but they said they'd tell me to tell you anything they do find out, that might be of help,"he told her. "I'll be sure to tell them to tell me if they see him. They wanted information, when you've discovered something, so just think my name. If I don't answer, think it louder, and so on. They wanted you to call ChiChi, explain it to her, and tell her they said not to worry,"King Kai finished.
"All right,"Bulma told him.
"Remember, just think my name!"King Kai said, before going back to finding out as much as he could, about the dimension Goku and everyone was in. Or, he went back to whatever he does in his free time......... Nah! The first one!
'Why did I have to be the one to tell ChiCHi?!'Bulma asked herself, sliding her hand down her face, knoing this was going to become a fiasco...............................
Back At The Tendo Dojo.........................
Everyone put down their bowls, and complimented Kasumi. They were all in a very good, mood, especially after eating. "You're all too much!"Kasumi said smiling,"It was nothing!" They wiped teir mouths clean and walked outside, eager to continue the training.
"All right!"Goku said, patting his stomach, now, we'll go through something I know you'll all like a lot,"Goku said. Everyone waited to see what it was. "Akane, Goten already taught you this, flying,"he said. Ranma and Ryoga's faces lit up, with overwhelming joy. "You should probably pay attention too Akane, just in case Goten missed something. Akane nodded. The next few hours were spent, perfecting flying, how to deflect and cancell out energy blasts. Akane seemed to learn the fastest. This still disturbed Goku...............
