Chapter 107
Soon, Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten dropped from the sky. They were ready to take Yume up.
"Carrying her weight is not a problem." Trunks evaluated. "But carrying her THAT high is going to take a bit more strength. You'll have to help us fly her up, Genji."
While Yume was thinking how fun it would be to go flying, Genji felt a little fearful of Trunk's words.
**Me? Fly? I can barely hover!**
"Don't be intimidated, Genji." Piccolo consoled. "You've been practicing in the Emishi village against my orders, remember? Powering ki for a fall is no different from powering ki to fly."
**But....**
"Just like how I taught you on Grim Reaper's Isle. Push with your ki, that's all I want you to do."
A lesson Genji often forgot: don't try to argue with Piccolo Daimao.
The boy nodded.
**Alright. I'll try, Piccolo-san.**
Everyone took thier position under Yume to lift her up. Genji took the front, under the wolf's chest. Piccolo and Goten held her stomach. Trunks was unhappily stuck with the hind quarters.
"Hey! How come I have to be in the back?!"
" 'Cause everyone else is in front, Trunks."
"That's bull! What if she pees on me?!"
Yume laughed.
"Don't worry. I went while you were gone."
"Everyone ready?" Piccolo asked.
"Yeah." Trunks and Goten answered. Genji nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
The four of them powered up, and Genji concentrated on trying to fly. He breathed deeply and cleared his mind the best he could. Cell coached the kid on quietly.
Imagine you are doing a routein jump from the Emishi cliffs, and you power up to soften your landing. Power up enough so that should you land, your feet barely touch the ground and you blast yourself into the air....
**.........**
Gimme a break, will ya?! I'm trying to help you out!
Genji powered up as high as flying standards would allow. The four of them hovered up as slowly as they could, then they blasted off into the air. Yume started barking and giggling in joy.
"Hee hee hee hee! This is fun!"
With the strain in his arms, Genji felt why transporting Yume would have been a problem. With the gravity trying to keep Yume's weight on the ground, everyone's arms and shoulders were put into a strain. Even still, the flight up was going smoothly.
After a while of watching the patterns of the tower zip by, Piccolo announced, "Just about there! Keep going!" Then, he said quietly to Genji: "You are doing well, but don't let that distract you."
Genji smiled a little, and kept pushing up on Yume. The wolf started to whimper a little.
"Hey, my butt is falling...."
"Trunks!" Goten yelled. "Quit slacking and keep up!"
"Oh, shut up, Goten!" Trunks yelled back. "You'd be nervous if you were on this end too!"
"Both of you be quiet!" Piccolo ordered. "Concentrate on getting to the Tenkai!"
All four pushed Yume up and up until they reached the top of Korin's tower and it zipped right up by them. The Tenkai was close.
Genji grinned to himself, and pushed up a tad bit stronger.
'This is great! I'm getting closer! Soon, my scar will be healed, the demon will be killed, and maybe in the afterlife I can visit my mother.....'
NOOOOOOOOO!
Genji's heart lurched once again, making him shake and faulter. He let go of Yume, powered down, and started to fall. Yume barked in panic.
"GENJI!!!!"
In his panic, Genji forgot how to power up. He plummeted in the air, and soon landed on top of Korin Tower. He was instantly knocked unconscious.
"Oh no!" Goten cried. "Genji!"
"What do we do?!" Trunks asked while Piccolo moved in Genji's place to keep Yume balanced.
"Keep going! If we put a little more power into it, we can drop Yume off at the Tenkai and come back for Genji."
"Alright!" Trunks and Goten nodded. "They continued flying up as Yume whimpered at the sight below her.
"Genji.......please be okay......."
Soon, Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten dropped from the sky. They were ready to take Yume up.
"Carrying her weight is not a problem." Trunks evaluated. "But carrying her THAT high is going to take a bit more strength. You'll have to help us fly her up, Genji."
