Last Time:
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed Ash as he felt his body plummet towards the ground. His stomach was in his throat as he felt the wind rush by him. Closing his eyes he waited for impact...
~~~~~
This time:
Ash was falling down towards the little planet at an incredible speed. 'Great.' He thought, 'This is juuuuust great. First I'm taken to another... Dimension by a green haired woman wearing a sailor suit and a mini skirt. Then I'm taken to another planet, ruled by a blue cat fish. AND THEN I am trained to help save this world by a large green space man, who later throws me from a thousand feet in the air to teach me to fly.' As Ash ranted a strange white-blue-greenish aura surrounded him. 'Which, by the no person can do! At least with out any Pokemon! On top of THAT I learned that my Dad, who I've never met before, is really a blood thirsty ALIEN from another planet in another DEMENSION!!!!!!'
Ash had finished his rant and had found himself in a sitting position when he notice three things. A) Her was not dead. B) He was floating. C) Piccolo was yelling at him... again.
"BOY!!! Get you butt up here!"
Taking his... err... request into consideration, Ash tried to propel himself upwards. Turning his head toward the unfriendly green giant and said, "How?"
"Picture yourself moving towards me, and after awhile you won't have to picture anything because flying will feel natural."
"Uh... ok..." Ash said as he pictured himself flying through the clouds towards Piccolo. And the he felt himself floating through the air, towards Piccolo. Stopping as soon as he could, he looked up at his green mentor and asked with a smile, "How am I doing?"
"You've got a long way to go." He said grimly.
Ash's smile disappeared, "Oh..."
And that was how Ash's mornings passed for the past few weeks. He would wake up and spend all day training with his Sensei, working on his agility, speed, strength and perception.
It was a beautiful morning that day, just like everyday before it. Sighing, Ash headed downstairs to eat some breakfast. 'It's been nearly 6 months since I left my world...' Ash thought sadly. 'Six months ago I started training and now, I'm not even anywhere near as powerful as Piccolo... 'Give it time' King Kai says. I wish I were as powerful as Piccolo already. I want to go home.' Dragging himself out of the small house; Ash, like every morning, began his hour long warm up.
The sky was bright, although there was no sun when Piccolo came up. "Boy!" He shouted.
From many mornings of practice, Ash ran over to the giant and stood front and centre. "Yes Piccolo?"
"Today you are going to learn Ki blasts."
"Really?" Ash said, his voice full of excitement. He had watched the multicoloured beams fly from Piccolo's hands as King Kai had trained him.
"Yes. You will be learning a few tecniques. The Kamehameha, Kaiou Kan, Spirit Bomb, Taiyou-ken, and Makankousappou.
"Oh..." Ash said, unsure of the techniques.
"We will first start with the Kamehaneha." Piccolo said as he stood up. "I will give you a demonstration." With that said, Piccolo turned his back on Ash and stood with his feet apart and cupped his hands by his side. Deciding he should only a small wave, Piccolo forced only a minimal amount of Ki out of his body. "Kamehameha."
Ash watched as the blue and white beam that had burst through Piccolo's hands. 'Whoa.' He thought. 'How can someone create such a force? I thought only Pokemon could do that!' Out loud, he asked, "Is that Ki?"
Piccolo looked down at the half-saiyan, "Yes and No. That was a demonstration of the harnessing of Ki. Ki is really the life force within you. Ki can be manipulated, like when you learned to fly."
Accepting the explanation, Ash asked, "What do I have to do to... Harness my Ki."
Ignoring Ash's question, Piccolo said, "We will first start out by making a blast. Stand with your feet apart." Piccolo waited for Ash to do as he said. "Next, cup your hands at you side like this," said Piccolo as he demonstrated. "Now focus on the energy. Can you feel it?"
"Yes," Ash said with his eyes closed.
"Good, now force the energy out with all your might."
Ash concentrated on his Ki. To him it looked blue tinged with silver. Focusing on the ball of Ki, he tried to force it out. Slowly it moved, creeping out of his hands. Finally it burst free, eating everything in its path. Ash screamed. It felt as if his body had been torn in half and his hands had been sliced open and coal had been pressed into the wounds.
Cutting the blast of, Ash cradled his burning hands. Tearfully he looked up at the monotonous Piccolo.
"Very good. We are finished for the day." 'That blast rivalled Gohan's first few energy blasts.' Piccolo thought. 'Mind you,' He reasoned, 'Gohan was a fraction of Ash's age.' Turning around sharply, Piccolo walked over to the lone tree, leaving Ash behind, to meditate.
~~~~~
Ash stared as Piccolo left. Pulling his abused hands closer to his body, he made his way over to King Kai's house. "King Kai?" He yelled into the house.
The sound of pounding feet greeted Ash's ears as the large blue King popped into the room. "Ash, what can I do for you?"
"Could you get me something for my hands?" Asked Ash as he showed King Kai his blistered hands.
"Oh, yes. Come this way." The King said as he left the room.
Ash followed the King in to the bathroom where King Kai has drawn a sink full of lukewarm water.
"Here, place your hands here." Instructed the King as he rummaged through the medicine cabinet.
Wincing slightly at the water's contact with his hands, Ash placed his hands in the sink and pulled them out when King Kai had told him to. As he was drying his hands on as fluffy towel, King Kai said, "This ointment to heal those blisters overnight."
Unscrewing the cap, King Kai smoothed the ointment over Ash's hands and wrapped them in bandages.
"Try to use your hands as little as possible today, Ash, and be careful at dinner tonight."
"Ok."
"Now I would suggest you take a nap. The body does need rest to heal."
"Alright. Good night, King Kai."
"Good night, Ash."
Once Ash reached his room, he didn't even bother taking of his clothes. He climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
~~~~~
Hours later, King Kai went up to Ash's room to collect him for dinner, only to find him tossing and turning in his sleep. Concentrating on Ash, he faintly heard a few whispered words spill from Ash's lips.
"No, please.... Don't hurt him... don't hurt my Dad... please... NOOOOOOOO!" Bolting up, Ash sucked large amounts of air into his lungs. Tears were streaming down his face as he relived his dream over and over in his mind.
"Ash? Ash? Are you ok?" King Kai asked.
"Yeah..." Ash said shakily.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"Sort of... "
"Why don't you tell me about it, ok?"
"Sure... " Ash took a deep breath. "You know how you showed me what my Father's ki felt like?" At Kai's nod, Ash continued. "Well, in my dream I felt it, so I went towards it. Then, suddenly I was on another planet and I was surrounded by all sorts if people. But, what really caught my attention were the two men and the creature they were with. One man, who had the same ki as my father was talking to the other man, who he called Kakkorot, about what happened when he grew up. Then the purple creature said something about sentimental saiyans and k-killed him. He used a ki blast and shot him through his heart." Ash said as he vainly tried to keep his tears from falling.
Seeing that Ash needed some time alone, King Kai said, "Ash, I will set some dinner aside for you." Glancing at Ash one more time, King Kai left the room.
Ash was physically and emotionally spent. Lying down, he was out like a light as soon as his head touched the pillow.
Hours later, King Kai peeked into Ash's room with a dinner plate in his hand. Hearing Ash's soft mumbling the blue king sighed and set the plate down on the bed stand. Creeping back out, King Kai slowly shut the door and walked down the stairs.
~~~~~
Many weeks had passed and Ash had almost completed his training with Piccolo. The day had started off like any other day. Ash was sparring with Piccolo when King Kai came rushing over to the duo from the other side of the planet.
"Piccolo, Ash!" King Kai yelled.
Piccolo froze in mid air. "What?" He snarled.
Ignoring Piccolo's brash answer, King Kai continued excitedly, "Goku has done it! He's defeated Frieza!"
Looking remorseful, or as remorseful as he could, Piccolo pressed the blue King for more answers, "Well, what of the Nameks?" He snarled.
"We have revived them and sent them all to earth. They shall remain there until they have found a suitable planet to live on."
Piccolo nodded, "When am I to be revived?"
"Shortly, you will have to travel back to King Yemma's palace. There you will travel to Kami's Lookout and finally, back to earth."
"Ok." Said the green giant.
"Ash," said the King Kai as he turned towards the young demi-saiyan. "Seeing as you were never officially dead, you will be returning to earth with Piccolo."
It took a moment for Ash to absorb what King Kai had said, but when Ash realized what the King had implied he said the first thing that came to mind. "What?!?!"
