Five years later, the day comes when Hikaru's training will begin. On his fifth birthday.
"Happy birthday! Hikaru!" all the adults clamor at once.
"You said that you had a special surprise for me on my fifth birthday, kaasan!" Hikaru reminds his mom.
"Hai! Be patient. You'll find out at the end of the day!" Hikari tells her birthday boy."Happy birthday Hikaru!" Pan and Bulma cheer while handing him his presents.
"Arigato, Auntie Bulma! Doomo Grandma Pan!" He thanks both of them.
------After the Party
"Hikaru! You will be going with Pan somewhere, remember?" Hikari asks her five-year-old son.
"Hai, kaasan!" Hikaru answers.
"Hiro! Go and pack Hikaru's clothes and anything else he'll need! Hikaru, help your dad while I talk to Pan!" Hikari commands her family. She waits until Hikaru's gone to help Akihiro.
"So how long will you train him?" Hikari asks Pan.
"Three years." She answers without hesitation.
"Three years? Oh... I thought you would train him longer." Hikari comments, unsure of Pan's answer.
"Two years ago, my daughter had a baby boy, whom I named Goku after my grandfather, and I promised her that after his six birthday I will train him to help Hikaru." Pan explains to Hikari.
"Will you be gone for the entire three years?" Hikari then asks, still bugged by the fact that she won't see her son for three years.
"Of course not! Hikaru would probably try to run away and go back home if I didn't bring him home once in a while!" Pan informs her.
"When will we be able to see him?" Hikari asks afterwards.
"Every last Saturday of the month I'll let him stay with you and Hiro." Pan answers her question, knowing the answer of every question she's asked.
"Fine, I guess that's okay. This is for the sake of the world!" She proclaims, then turns to Hiro. "Oh HIro! Is Hikaru's stuff ready yet?" Hikari asks her husband.
"Yes dear! I'm bringing down right now!" Akihiro answers while walking downstairs.
"Load it in the Capsule Corp. Helicopter!" Pan tells him.
"Anything else?" Akihiro asks with a hint of annoyance since no one else besides Hikaru's helping him.
"Of course, you can carry me to the helicopter!" Pan kids.
"Will you tell Hikaru everything for us? We just couldn't bare to tell him that we would barely be able see him in these next few years." Hikari asks as her last request, be quite depressed.
"All right. I'll tell him for you." Pan agrees.
"Doomo arigato, Pan! Thank you for doing for us." Hikari thanks her and gives her a small hug.
"It's not only for you, it's also for the sake of the world." Pan reminds Hikari.
"We know, but with you, we know Hikaru's in good hands." Hikari informs her.
"Say bye to your mommy and daddy, Hikaru!" Pan tells Hikaru.
"Bye kaasan! Bye-Bye tousan! Ja ne!" Hikaru waves to his parents as he steps into the helicopter.
"There goes our boy! Training to be an unstoppable fighter! (And when he gets older, he's going to go off and destroy people.)" Akihiro tells his wife and thinks to himself.
--------
"Obaachan! Where are we going?" Hikaru asks her, still a little confused about the whole situation.
"We're going to the mountains to train." Pan informs the little blond boy.
"Train for what?" Hikaru then asks, wondering what she's talking about.
"Did your mom or dad ever tell you that you had special powers?" Pan asks Hikaru, knowing already what the answer is.
"Iie." Hikaru answers.
"Well you do! And those powers were given to you so you can protect the planet." Pan tells him.
"Really! But I'm just a little kid. How can I protect the world?" Hikaru asks all confused. "(This is weird. She must be crazy.)"
"Has your dad ever told you stories about the Z fighters or the Legendary Goku?" Pan then asks hoping the answer wouldn't be the same.
"Lots of times before I went to sleep." Hikaru answers right away,
"Goku protected the world when he was a kid. His son Gohan saved the world once from a really strong android. And Goku's youngest son Goten was a Z fighter. And they were all little kids! So you can be strong too if you wanted to." Pan informs his, forgetting to leave out that Trunks also was a Z Fighter when he was little. "(Ah, that's not important.)"
"How do you know so much about Goku and the Z fighters?" Being completely oblivious to her blood relation.
"Goku's my grandfather and I was a Z fighter." Pan answers seeing the shock on his face.
"Nani?! Goku wa anata no ojiisan desu!" Hikaru yells in shock.
"They protected the world just like you're going to do. Did you know how strong Goku actually was Hikaru?" Pan asks.
"No, I don't think so." Hikaru answers.
"Goku was obviously the strongest of them all. He could take on many enemies that even Vegeta in super saiyan form can't, without transforming. He was hit by some of the most powerful dark attacks I have ever seen and managed to survive. He ever survived the evil version of the Spirit Bomb. There was no one who could defeat him." Pan explains.
"But Goku, Goten, and Gohan were saiyans! And I'm just a human right?" Hikaru then begins reasoning and using information he knows of the dead fighters.
"Yes Hikaru, but Bulma discovered a way to make humans match the strength of a saiyan. So you have the ability to be protect the world just like Goku did." Pan then informs him.
"But what will happens if a really strong bad guy comes and I lose?" Hikaru asks her, a bit worried about what he's going to have to go through.
"Has your parents every told you about the dragonballs?" Pan asks, hoping this answer will be a positive answer.
"No." He answers.
Pan then yells with a sweatdrop behind her head, "They want you to protect earth yet they didn't tell anything supernatural about it! Oh well! The dragonballs are seven magical balls that will grant you almost any wish. So if you should be defeated, (I cant' say die to a little kid) then we could use the dragonballs to wish you back. And while you're gone, there's always a place you could go and train to become stronger before you come back to living again. So do you want to protect the world or not?" Pan then asks after explaining to him.
"Do I have a choice? (This is so not right.)" Hikaru asks.
"If Bulma couldn't do the experiment again then no, but I'm sure she can, but I think you'll be a shame to your family and the rest of the world if you turn it down." Pan informs him.
"Then I'll do it! For my family and the world. (Why did Obaachan have to make feel so guilty.)" Hikaru thinks to himself with weird face and a sweatdrop.
Editor's Note: The explanation is so stupid. But I don't feel like changing it.
Author's Note: My editor acts stupid like me.
A little bit later.
"Finally! We're here." Pan tells him.
"What is this place Grandma Pan?" Hikaru then asks, unknown to the area surrounding him.
"The area near Mt. Paozu. My grandfather Goku, had a house somewhere on top of Mt. Paozu. This is where your training shall begin." Pan tells him as the helicopter leaves them and their stuff.
"Are you going to make me work out and do exercises?" Hikaru then asks, using the type of training he knows as an example of what they're going to do.
"Not even close!" Pan answers right away.
"Then how am I going to be strong to protect the world?" Hikaru wonders.
"You already are strong and powerful! I'm just going to teach you how to us that power, how to create energy blasts from it, and how to fly." Pan informs the super human.
"Fly? You're going to teach me how to fly!" Hikaru starts getting excited.
"Yes! That's the first thing you're going to learn. So lets begin the training!" Pan sticks her hand in the air to show the beginning of their training.
But Hikaru still has one more question. "But what about school?"
"I told your parents I will also teach you how to read and write, and other school stuff, so don't worry!" Pan tells him. "(I wonder if I could actually teach him all this. I hope that Bulma's little procedure also made him super smart or else this is going to suck!)"
One more question comes out of Hikaru's mouth. "Obaachan! How long will we be here?"
"Three years." She answers with her hands behind her back.
"Three Years! I don't want to be away for three year! How about chichi and haha?" Hikaru then asks, becoming a little depressed at what he's finding out.
"You'll see them every month so don't be sad! They wanted you to do this! So starting tomorrow, the training for you to be a Z Fighter begins!" Pan exclaims.
