Chapter 9
"Ha!" Goten yelled, finalizing his kamehameha wave. He threw his hands forward and a blue energy ball flew from them, gathering power and speed as it made it's way to the opponent. They were already in a wide open area, so Goten wasn't worried his kamehameha would hurt anyone, but still, as it made it's way on, it chewed up the ground and disheveled the dirt through many feet. It's blue tip rushed towards... Goku. Goku put both hands forward and blocked it from hitting him. The kamehameha was burning his flesh, however, so he had to act quickly. He twisted to the side and brought his hands up, letting the blast fly harmlessly into the air. Goten zanzokened behind Goku and tried to knee him in the back, but Goku felt his power move, and ducked down, letting his son's leg fly over his back. Goku pushed one foot out, and moved it to the side, sweeping Goten off his feet. Goku immediately flipped himself up, and turned around. He fired a small ki shot into Goten's face, piling
him into the ground. He laid in his hole for a while, letting the effects of the battle wear off.
"Ow."
"Aw, come on, Goten! We've barely been going three hours. Trunks and Vegeta over there aren't even winded," Goku said, pointing over to where Trunks and Vegeta were fighting.
"They started fifteen minutes ago!" Goten yelled at his father, dropping from Super Saiyan and letting his black hair return. Goku shrugged and walked over to where Piccolo was sitting, watching them.
"Hey, Piccolo, what's up?" he asked, grabbing a towel from the ground and wiping his forehead. Piccolo raised his head and grunted, but that was all.
"Um okay," Goku said, cocking an eyebrow at the Namek. "What's up with you? Nothing to say today?"
"I'm... just watching. I'm tired, that's all," Diamao told him, almost cursing. He didn't expect Goku to talk to him, especially when he should be training with Goten. Dirty saiyans must have gotten tired.
"Alrighty then, your call," Goku said. He started to walk off, but then turned around and eyed Diamao. "Piccolo, something about you feels different. Your ki... it's not the same as usual. What's up?"
"Um..." Diamao thought quickly. He hadn't expected Goku to be able to tell the difference in his power, he thought it was being hidden well enough. "I've been doing serious training in Hell. My powers raised quite a bit, don't you think?"
"Yeah... That's it," Goku said, still staring at Diamao. He softened his gaze, however, confident that nothing was wrong. "Hey, next time your feeling up to it, tell me. I'd be glad to train with you; after all, you've gotten much stronger in only a week. You're probably almost as strong as Krillin now!" With that, Goku waved and hopped off into the air, in search of Olibu, hopping he was up for a sparring match.
"Yes, Goku," Diamao thought, "I'm almost as strong as Krillin now. Well, if that's all you think, then you're in for quite a surprise. Especially since you haven't even felt a fourth of my power. And now that I can do kaio-ken x4 we'll see who is stronger."
-------------------------
Pikkon trained in Hell, and perfected the kaio-ken. He had been secretly training with it constantly, ignoring his regular exercises. He was now able to use kaio-ken all the way up to x10, which gave him around Goten's power he estimated. In another couple of days, he should be able to reach Trunks'. But the problem... whenever he used the kaio-ken x8, nearly all of his energy was exhausted. And when he used the kaio-ken x10 he couldn't move for nearly ten minutes. But he found he was able to maintain kaio-ken x3 almost constantly, and it was now draining him very little. That meant the humans shouldn't be much trouble. Now then, to get back to raising his endurance training.
"Kaio-ken x5!" He yelled, letting it slowly drain his body of power.
-------------------------
The Grand Kai could feel the subtle vibrations in ki energy. It was like a puddle in his stomach that was shuddering with each wave of power that came. When he first felt it, he wasn't sure what it was, then it dawned on him that it was ki. He knew that it wasn't from any of the Z Warriors though, he could easily keep track of all of them, even if they were barely using any power. Every person has a certain different way that their ki feels like, and the one he felt now didn't match anyone he knew. It was in Other World, though. That he knew. But exactly where, he didn't know. It wasn't important enough to tell Goku about anyway, not yet. No need to bother him yet, especially since he didn't even know what he was feeling. He would normally consult with the Supreme Kai at a time like this, but he felt that it important he handled it on his own. Ever since the incident with Zanji, he had felt less and less important. Almost as if the universe had out-grown him... Now that it
had the "Z Warriors", what did it need him for?
