Alright...to continue...hope you are enjoying this as much as I am to writing it!!!

It was late afternoon when the boy woke up under a tree, shadowed from the beauty of the day. The sun was out and the animals of the forest were out playing and gathering food. He sat up against the tree wandering how he got out here. Alone he sat and just stared into space as he realized what had happened the night before. Questions puzzled his mind as he just sat there alone.

"Hungry?" a voice asked from behind him. Goku then noticed the smell of food being cooked. He turned and looked behind the tree to find the Namik cooking over a camp fire he must have built. Realizing he was hungry, the boy moved on over to sit on a stump. The Namik was brewing a pot of beef stew. He handed Goku a huge bowl and said, "Eat up."

Goku took the bowl and found a spoon on near him. He began to eat. Quietly they both sat while Goku ate and the Namik just drank water. When the boy finally finished his food, he sat the bowl down and thanked the Namik for the food. He replied, "You will need the energy for what I am going to have you do today. That energy blast you launched at me last night, you want to learn how to do that on command?"

Goku's head perked up and question, "What do you mean? I can do that at will if I want to?"

"You can if you practice hard enough. Only then will you be able to begin the mastering of your inner powers."

"Inner powers, what do you mean?"

"In every living being, they are given abilities that are awesome. But in order to use this power you must search yourself and find it. You must learn to control it and bring it out. If you do not then you will never be able to use it. The power is called Ki."

"I have heard of that. The masters I have studied under have talked about the possibility of it, but none have mastered it before. Well except master Roshi and his students. But he lived over a hundred years ago."

"Yes he discovered but only a little of that power. But I have complete control over it as I displayed for you the other day. Those blasts came from me. From the energy of my body." The Namik then rose and continued, "Watch."

Piccolo extended his arm and hand. A ball of light started to form in his hand. It was the size of a basketball. In the blink of an eye the ball left his hand, pushing air back across his face, and it went into a hill off into the distance. In just seconds the hill was blown away completely. After the dust cleared it no longer remained.

"As you can see it can become very powerful."

"I can't believe you just did that. I want to. Teach me," the boy rose in astonishment engraved into his face. He stared then at Piccolo and repeated, "Teach me."

For the rest of the day, Goku sat in the middle of the field cross-legged, his hands in front of him, fingers only and an inch away from his other hands fingers. Piccolo told him he had to make a ball of energy form between his two hands. He must reach down inside of himself and pull the energy out of his body. He sat there for two hours patiently. Trying and trying. As he sat there, Piccolo was off in the distance again fighting against himself. Everything seemed normal until a voice came into his head.

"You are never going to master this until you make yourself angry. The power will show itself after you get mad. Think of last night when you lost your dog. The feeling of that burning sensation that is what you must call upon."

"Who is this?" Goku responded out loud. The voice didn't respond. Confused he began to think about what the voice had said. That feeling he got last night is what set him off when he found Piccolo. He then closed his eyes and pondered last night. He could see his dog in his mind, the look on its face as he stood there and could do nothing to save the dog. The fire in his heart began to burn again. Slowly it began to rage. Then his mind saw his dream again. The man on fire, the planet ready to explode, and then an image of a purple creature, human-like, in the sky, mocking the man, these images just started to enrage the fire even more. Anger filled his mind and heart, but when he opened his eyes his hands were about to brake away from a huge ball of energy that had formed in there. It was so big and so powerful that it scared Goku greatly.

In the distance Piccolo stopped sparing to witness what was going on. The kid's signature just jumped greatly. The boy had his eyes closed and then all of sudden a ball of energy formed quickly in his hands, and it kept growing.

The anger Goku felt made the ball bigger and bigger. His body also started to grow. The muscles in his arms just tensed out. They became big again. It was as if they wanted to explode with power themselves. Goku's mind began to recognize this feeling, how it made his body changes and grows. How it seemed like he was releasing something. He held it. Trying to think clearly and hold this power. The ball of energy stabilized, and clear energy started to flow around him. Soon his mind cleared as well. He stood up focusing on how to control this power. Soon Piccolo was near him.

"That is it. Hold that. That is your inner power come up. Keep pushing it until you can't anymore. Bring as much of it out as you possibly can,"

Goku did as he was asked. He reached farther down into himself to find out how far he could go, how much he could bring out. When he found the source and brought it out, it seemed like it wouldn't stop coming. Everything about him became more and more intense. The energy that flowed around him began to get farther from him. It moved out and touched the Namik. Then all of sudden the Namik had is own energy surrounding him contending Goku's energy. This made him want to bring it out even more. So the feeling of being better came and gave him more power. The two energies started to fight greatly. This made Goku feel a different kind of anger, a competitive anger.

All of sudden Piccolo attacked Goku, but this time the boy blocked it. "Good, let's see what level we can get you too." They began to fight even matched. They matched each other move for move. The two spared like this for some time until Piccolo stopped and motioned Goku to stop as well. "Now it's time to teach you how to fly. Observe."

Piccolo slowly rose off the ground. "All you have to do I focus your energy between you and the ground. Go on try."

Goku closed his eyes focused and he too began to lift off the ground. "Wow, this feeling is so great. It's..." Goku fainted and fell hard to the ground.

"Wow, this kid is really giving all he's got. He used all his energy to learn how to use energy outside of his body, keep up with me and then learning to hover all in one day. This kid really has talent. If he keeps this up he might be ready..." Piccolo said all in his mind. Again the ghost-like creature returned.

"The boy is powerful. He learned quickly from my words."

"And the dream you sent him, did he use it in his mind?"

"Yes."
