Chapter 5: The Expected and Unexpected
Fast legs sprinted across the small clearing. The wind blew against them, as if it was not on their side and wanted to keep them from reaching their destination. However, these two were very determined to get where they wanted to go, and so nothing of that nature was about to stop them.
They slid to a halt as they saw the person they were looking for. Gohan. He looked terrible. He was all bloody and broken.
Quickly, Infinity got down on her hands and knees and placed two gentle fingers on the side of his throat, feeling around for a pulse.
"He's still got a weak pulse.", she stated softly.
"Perhaps I should revive him?", a deep voice said from behind the two. Both Shin and Infinity jumped, having not sensed the other person there.
"Kibito!?!"
The Dai Kaioshin stared at this being. He had died; he himself had seen this with his own eyes.
"But.....You were dead! How did you.....?!?"
"I really don't know. I thought I was dead."
"The Dragon Balls", Infinity stated, turning the heads of both men towards her, "You were revived with the rest of the people on Earth by the Dragon Balls. I saw this in my dream."
They stared at her. Finally Kibito spoke up.
"Infinity?"
A small smile appeared upon her lips. "You have a good memory Kibito"
A short silence followed this revelation. Nobody was quite sure of what to say or do. Finally, they all turned their attention to Gohan.
"You can heal Gohan when we arrive at Kaioshin-kai.", Shin stated.
"What?!? Why are we going to take him to Kaioshin-kai?!?"
"He is going to pull the Z sword."
"WHAT?!?!? But that is supposed to be done by a Kaio!"
"Kibito, you know that we have all taken our turns trying. Now it is Gohan's turn to try. I have a feeling that if he can pull it out and master it then he can defeat Majin Buu."
Kibito didn't question this anymore, though it was quite obvious that he was not happy with this decision. He did not hesitate to pick up Gohan. Shin took Infinity by the hand so that she could come too. They quickly muttered the words 'kai-kai' and immediately teleported off of the planet Earth.
*~*~*~*~*
The lavender sky shimmered as they appeared at Kaioshin-kai. The moons seemed to glow. Trees blew with a wind that almost sparkled. The place seemed magical. It was amazing, even to those who had lived there for eternities already.
Kibito laid Gohan down in the soft grass. He set his hand on his chest and started to revive him. Shin watched the procedure while Infinity looked around a bit.
Soon it was done and Kibito removed his hand. Gohan slowly arises. He looks around, astounded.
"Wow, this place is really something...... Where are we?"
"This is the planet of Kaioshin-kai", Shin told him, "Follow me"
He flew off. Gohan, Kibito, and Infinity soon follow. Gohan appeared a bit confused, but followed none the less.
The group of four flew until they reached the large cliff that contained the Z sword. They all landed.
"Go ahead and give it a try Gohan", Shin coaxed. He was very sure that Gohan could do it. After all, Infinity had dreamed it, and her dreams were always accurate. If she saw it in her dream, then it was surely meant to be.
Gohan, who was now wearing formal Kaioshin clothing thanks to Kibito, grabbed onto the sword's handle and pulled. In fact, he yanked with all of his might.
The sword stayed in the stone however. Gohan fell over with exhaustion.
"Wow, that is wedged in there really good!"
"I told you he couldn't do it. This is meant for a Kaio to pull out", Kibito said.
"Why don't you give it another try Gohan.", Shin stated, not at all phased by Kibito's lack of faith in Gohan.
"Alright, here we go again!", Gohan said then pushed up with all of his might. He soon ascended to the Super Saiya-jin status. In fact, shortly after that he flickered into level two. A large wind engulfed them all as he reached the level two mark. Everyone's hair blew wildly. Gohan and the sword were surrounded by his golden aura.
Suddenly the rock underneath the sword started to crack. It cracked a lot and with one last mighty tug, the Z sword came out of it's rocky home.
"You did it Gohan!", Shin stated happily. Kibito stood there with his mouth open in awe. Infinity watched, expressionless. She had already known about this and wasn't the least bit surprised.
"Now, let's go over there and you can learn to master the sword Gohan!", Shin said excitedly, pointing to a clear field to the right. They all started to fly over there. Gohan was behind, barely being able to lug the sword with him.
Kibito, of course, noticed this. "The sword can't possibly be that heavy."
"Well, maybe a big guy like you can hold it better.", he said, handing Kibito the sword. Once Gohan let go of the sword Kibito's arms fell down and his fingers were squished underneath the sword's bulk.
Kibito stared at the sword after he had freed his hands. He was speechless. That was one heavy piece of metal!
Infinity bent down and amazingly picked up the sword with ease. She swung it around a bit with expertise.
"Hmm........not bad. Gohan, have you ever done any sword fighting before?"
Then she noticed that everyone was staring at her with wide eyes and sweat drops. Their mouths were hanging open. She gave them a questioning look.
Gohan finally responded with, "H-how......can you pick it up so easily?!? I can barely lift it!!!!!"
"Answer my question.", she said, giving him that creepy look again. It was like he could see her eyes glow through her sun glasses.
"N-no"
"Well, then we should get started now. The sooner you learn it, the sooner you can go and defeat Majin Buu."
With that said, Infinity began to teach Gohan the skills of the sword. This amazed both Kaioshin and bodyguard. She did not appear to be strong at all, but she waved the sword like it was nothing at all.
*Perhaps we do have a chance at winning this battle*, the Supreme Kaio thought as he watched Gohan quickly learn and perfect his skills and techniques.

Did you like it? Please review. Frankly, I'm sorry that you all had to read this chapter. It is pretty much a filler. Stuff that has to be put in the story, that you already knew about. I promise that the next chapter will be much better. However, I hope you enjoyed it anyway. I'll try and have the next chapter out by the end of the week. Have a nice day!
