Chapter 4: An old villain

"After all the free time I rebuilt everything on the tower and I accidentally built a little too much. So what I did was I read up on a second hyperbolic time chamber one that is twice as tough and the only way to get there is to walk far enough through the original hyperbolic time chamber. The door to the second one only opens from the inside so you can't enter from the outside." Dende explains, "So this hyperbolic time chamber thing will make me stronger and faster than I am now?" Tanner asks "Wait a minute wasn't the door to the original hyperbolic time chamber destroyed by Piccolo when Majin Buu started a fight with Gotenks in the Hyperbolic Time chamber?" Krillin asked, "Did I not just say I rebuilt everything?!? Have you been listening Krillin?!? This is very important you need to pay attention!" Dende yelled, furiously "Umm don't mind me interrupting, but this is all a dream right it's not happening I walked into a branch and knocked myself out yeah. that was what that stick was. Pinch me I'm dreaming." Tanner said excitedly while pinching himself "Ouch! I'm not dreaming wow." "Tanner don't be stupid this is not a dream and you need to travel to the second hyperbolic time chamber and train there it's much more luxurious and there is much more food." Dende exclaimed "Oh okay fine then I'll go, but I think I'll need some more to eat first eat before I go he he." Tanner laughed as he scratched the back of his head. Everybody fell over and the whole ground shook. (Like in anime shows) A couple hours later after Tanner had filled his gut with the daily essentials he "needed" he felt he was ready to go on his journey through the hyperbolic time chamber. "Okay so all I do is just walk a little while and I'm there? Just walk right? That's it? It's not too hard I can probably do it quick." Tanner smiled as he stood in front of the open doorway of the hyperbolic time chamber. "Umm. yeah that's it just walk he he" Dende said sarcastically while slamming the door in front of Tanner's face. Tanner quickly turned toward the large field of white tile that seemed to go on forever and he was motionless for a moment. "AHHH!!!!!!!! I can't do that!! That's impossible it can't be done! I can't make it across this!" Tanner yelled, "Okay I guess I will just have to try it anyway." He began to run towards the field, but when he set foot on it he stopped for a moment and said, " Whoa, I feel different like I'm more heavy. Oh well that must be why it makes people more stronger that's why they train in here, but it's not so bad why dot hey make seem like it's so hard.weird. Tanner just shrugged and began on his way he ran until the air got denser and he could barely stand and he felt so weak. "Wow this really is hard, but I bet nobody has ever gotten his far before. I feel so proud of myself and so excited just think I finally get to meet the person who brought me up. I have to make it, I have to get to the end of this place" Tanner said while talking to himself. He powered up and shot off like a bullet down what seemed to be a never-ending abyss. He flew and flew for hours it seemed that the end would never arrive. The air was getting denser and denser all the time, the gravity getting harder to withstand. In there very far distance, he could barely see it, but Tanner could see a figure with long black hair standing off in the distance. The person in the distance seemed to have the same ability to fly just as Tanner did. The person was training his powers, punching into nothingness, and kicking as well, grunts of fatigue escaped him as he punched and kicked. Tanner began to slow down as the person looked to him and it was visible, the smirk on his face and a small chuckle left his mouth as Tanner grew closer and began to land from his position in the air. The person was now completely visible he was wearing strange looking armor with sort of shoulder pad type things coming off the shoulders, yet one of the shoulder pads was blown off. He had a hole where his stomach was on the armor and he had a furry belt wrapped around his waist or so Tanner thought it was a belt until he pulled it off without touching it. The belt was actually a tail, Tanner was confused and he would have said something, but the man began to talk first. The man's clothes were very tattered and torn as if he had just competed in a fight. "Ahh. it is about time someone arrived here I have been waiting for challenges to fight and test my new skill as a Super Saiyan of the next level. It will not matter soon, for you will perish, but my name is Raditz and as well as mine it will not matter, but what is your name?" The man snickered as he talked. "My name is Tanner and if you do not min I would like to get through so I can get to the end of this abyss. So if you are to be so kind as to move?" Tanner asked nicely "Are you some kind of moron of some sort? I just explained to you that you cannot pass by me because I am going to destroy you and you are going to die therefore you may not pass!" Raditz yelled aloud, now angered by Tanner's backtalk. "Well no I am not a moron, but if you would like to try and make the first move I can promise you that you will be sorry." Raditz's eyes widen "WHAT?!? YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME?!? I WILL GIVE YOU ONE LAST CHANCE TO TURN BACK RIGHT NOW!" "I'm sorry Raditz, but I cannot just go and leave without knowing what is at the end of this abyss and believe me I am going to make it to the end, no matter what." Raditz was infuriated with Tanners temper "I am sick of your lip, boy! I have given you plenty of chances to escape your chances of dying, but you just don't want to take those chances so you lose!" "Go right ahead I am giving you the first chance to attack. Go on! Come one Raditz take your chance!" Then Raditz powered up and sent a wave of energy toward Tanner, but Tanner didn't budge at all as a matter of fact he just stood there with his arms crossed smirking a bit and chuckling. Raditz yelled as his power level was increased, Tanner could tell, but he still did not move an inch there was no fear sensed in his body whatsoever. Raditz took deep gasps of breath when he was finished powering up he looked back up at Tanner and laughed. Raditz had become a Super Saiyan of level 2 his hair was spiked up in many different directions, yet in the back his hair was spiked up in little spikes just like a hedgehog's spines. "Heh what are you going to do now, boy? I am now a Super Saiyan of the next level if you do not know what that is then it is pointless explaining it to you, for you will perish soon enough haha!!!" Tanner just fell on all fours and began to laugh Raditz was even more infuriated now he could not stand it anymore he began to fly at Tanner with his fist reared back.
