Dark was his dreams that night as he tried desperately to fall asleep; the images of fights between man and some beats. The mysterious one who calls himself Piccolo haunts him, taunting him with his games of trickery and mind scrabbles. The most interesting part of the dream that soothed but also worried him was an image of a man. It was a man on a green planet, much like the new Namik. But this planet was different. It was sore with wiry from torment and mayhem. Two great powers had fought here on this turf. But this man before him in his dreams, a man bloodied and emotionally tore in two directions. His hair a bright shining yellow crimson that wavered up toward the skies because of the energy that surrounded him made it so. His shirt no more, his pants barely together, and no hope rested in his eyes because of a great terror he has been witnessed too. No man of any statue should be where he was at. But at the same time, no better man seemed to fit the shoes. It was as if he belonged there, like he was destined to stand on a dieing planet for some great cause. Then the time finally came after so much destruction, so much pain caused, she could no longer hold herself together. When the planet exploded, so did the anger of the man left there to die.
Coming awake, sitting up in his bed, Goku was in a cold sweat. His muscles were bursting with bulge, veins appeared everywhere along his arms. "What was that all about," he pondered as he tossed his legs over the side of the bed. "It was so real as if I was the man on that planet," he reached for a glass of water he had set next to his bed on a night stand. Moments passed as he just sat there thinking of the dream so clear in his mind. It was as if the dream wanted to tell him something. Then Goku noticed something of his body. It was bigger then before. The muscles on his arms and chest were bigger. Then he noticed a burning sensation deep down inside himself. It was like an ember reading itself to light a dry forest on fire. The feeling was so intense that it started to scare the boy greatly. What was happening to himself? The burn on his chest was gone. His body felt better then ever before. Stronger, faster, more durable but at the same time, it felt like he was changing. "But for what, or into what?" he asked himself.
Smoke began to fill his room while he was thinking. Finally he noticed it and realized the house was on fire. Goku rushed down stairs to find out where the smoke was coming from. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he found the whole living room ablaze. He then rushed to find his parents still asleep in their room and he woke them to let them know of the fire. Quickly they all rushed outside with the phone and called for a fire truck. Astonished, the family of three stood and watched their only home go up in flames in just a matter of seconds.
A noise came from inside the home. It was a wining noise. Goku heard it and realized he left his German Shepard up stairs in his bedroom. He began to move toward the house when a hand grabbed his shoulder. Goku's dad looked at him and shook his head saying, "It's too late. If you go in there you will be burned alive. I am sorry son."
"No!" Goku falls to the ground and begins to cry in frustration and confusion. Goku's mom also comes up to him to put a hand on his shoulder to show her sympathy for his now lost dog. Goku looks up at the house with tears just flowing out of his eyes only to witness his dog stumble onto the porch engulfed in flames. It falls over with one last little wine, and then dies.
Goku punches the ground and cracks it. His muscles begin to grow and vein bulge out, as his anger and frustration grows. Shortly after seeing this sight the fire trucks pull up and start to put out the fire. An ambulance arrives and checks on the small family asking if anyone is hurt. Goku's mom is crying from the loss of her beautiful home and treasures. Not to mention the dog they all loved just died as well. His father is trying to comfort his mom as he too sheds some tears. Goku was taken over to the ambulance to be checked out for he seemed in some sort of mental trance. His face was that of an angry person. Quietness became him. Still his body was bigger then normal. The doctors notice this phenomenon, and they begin to speculate what might be wrong with the boy.
When the fire was finally put out, the fire trucks reported that the fire was started by a bottle of gasoline. The bottle was made with a cloth as a fuse, which burned until it reached the alcohol. It exploded everywhere and caught everything on fire. The conclusion was that someone had vandalized their property. A fireman and a police officer were discussing this only a few feet away from Goku. Goku was listening intently to what they believed to be the start of the fire. Vengeance filled his heart when he heard the news. He could only think of what he was going to do to whoever it was who did this. He got lost in his thoughts and didn't realize that his mother had collapsed and passed out. The fire that burned deep inside him just started to burn even more. His stood up and began to walk toward the woods. He only got a few feet when his father came up to him and told him what just happened to his mom. He shook his head, cleared his mind and thought of his mom. He ran over to see what was wrong and the medics said she passed out from all the drama and stress. They were going to take her to the hospital to recover. Goku's father asked him if the boy wanted to come as well but Goku denied the offer, which was unusual for him to do.
"What do you mean you don't want to go?"
"I have to figure out what is going on. I must find out who did this. I will come when I figure something out, I promise."
"What are you going to do?"
"I am going to go visit someone I met just yesterday. He might be able to help me out."
"Well...ok. But you be careful, ok?"
"I will be dad, I promise," after that Goku took off in a dead sprint toward the forest. He ran and ran as fast as he could to the field to where he met the Namik. He arrived and began to yell out for the Namik to appear, or show himself. Nothing happened. The Namik didn't come. Frustrated the boy felt a need to use his abilities. He started to practice right there in that field. The anger of the night came over him as he worked out. When it felt like he couldn't do another push up, he kept going. He did five more when he knew he should stop. He just felt like he wanted to find the ones who did this and be ready for them. Now Goku was not very big. He only weighs about 170lbs, and is about 6'2". He was not very built, but he was already starting to notice changes in his body. He worked and worked until he exposited himself. He even attacked trees to get more frustration out. He beat on up so bad that the bard came off of it. He did so much that he just about passed out when he saw the Namik before him.
With barely any breath to talk, Goku asked, "Do you know who set my house on fire?"
"Yes," replied Piccolo.
"Who, I want to know who."
"I did."
"What?"
"You heard me boy, I did."
"Why? My dog was in there. He was burned alive. All my stuff was destroyed. My life, gone."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I...I...I don't know."
"Think about it. I just killed your dog, put your mom in the hospital from shock, and destroyed everything you own, and you will do nothing about it?"
Anger just filled the boy's eyes at what the Namik said. He responded at the top of his lungs, "I am going to kill you for this!"
"Bring it," Piccolo took a ready stance. The boy attacked with great speed and force. This time he was much faster then before. But the Namik still caught every attack swung his way. "Good you are growing in strength. Show me your anger! Show me what you can do."
"Aaaahhhhhh!" Goku yelled so loud and just went full speed using every attack that he knew to attack the Namik, but still no luck.
"Come on, you are stronger then this. Think of your dog, how you saw it die in front of your eyes, aflame and lying on the porch...dead."
"Shut up!" this time the boy launched a blast of energy from his hand and hit the Namik hard, but it only made him move a couple of feet back.
"Good, you're learning. But I think you are out of energy now." Piccolo was right, the boy collapsed shortly after the attack.
A ghost-like figure of a man appeared next to the Namik and began to speak, "He did a power attack, incredible. I thought that might have taken him time to master. He is getting powerful fast."
The Namik replies, "Yes all he needed is a push."
"You didn't really set his house on fire, did you?"
"No, I didn't, but a friend of his did. Garret, the one who won the martial arts tournament four years ago, he wants Goku to stay out of the tournament this year.
"This will make things very difficult. Well let him rest and then start the training again in the morning. Make him work for it. Make him want to win the tournament so bad that it's the only thing on his mind. He needs to learn as fast at he can. The universe tournament is coming up again soon and with none of us in it, it will leave earth open to attack."
"I just hope I will last long enough to teach him what I can. My time is slipping away quickly. I don't have much time left Goku..."
"I know, just pray he learns quickly."
