The street was as normal as can be. Cars were passing down the road, kids riding their bikes, people walking down the side of the street. All was fine. But the peacefulness was disrupted quickly.

A huge loud blast was heard for blocks. It came from the arcade. Goku was smashed up against a building, and a hole the size of a car was made in the side of arcade. Five men came slowly flying out of the hole, only to land on the street in front of Goku. They waited there for something.

Goku finally recovered from the attack and stood up to gained his bearings. He looked at the five in front of him. Anger swelled in his heart as he realized what they had done. His whole body was telling him that he must protect his pride from these fools. Then that burning from deep down inside began its burning again, but it was hotter this time then the last. Goku raised both his arms in fists, he looked down at the ground, and then suddenly his hands were thrown up, his head down only to come back the opposite way. His hands were thrown down to his side and his head was faced up toward the sky. A loud boom was heard and a force of energy surrounded the boy with great ferocity. Cracks were made in the ground below the enraged boy, and Goku spoke quickly ferociously, "That was a huge mistake!"

"We will see," said one man right before he took off at Goku. But before he could think where the man was going to lay his punch, Goku had hit him so hard to the ground that he was out like a light. Another came at Goku right after this. Goku simply did a round house kick and made the next man splash into a wall near by. The three that remained kept their distance until all three decided to attack at once. Quickly they were all taken down with simple blows to the head or torso. In only a matter of minutes these fighters were taken down like flies. Now standing alone, Goku's body began to grow with power once again. His muscles grew, his mind became keener, and his world was once again different...but he liked it.

Goku started to walk back towards the arcade only to find the white haired guy floating out the hole to meet him. "You are quite the fighter young one. How about you let me take you under my wing, and I can show you how to really channel your power."

Goku's only response was a quick attack at the white haired man. A punch to the face didn't seem to knock the man around to hard, and when Goku retracted his attack, he saw the man was not injured very much at all. Then it began, attack after attack at each other. Goku's hits were only a little effective against this foe, but his enemies were extremely effective. The brawl only lasted a couple of short minutes, for another fighter arrived.

Piccolo appeared, dressed in his normal fighting apparel, white cape and hate, in between the two and spokes quickly, "If you two want to fight, wait and fight at the Martial Arts Tournament, not here in the streets."

"Old Namik, if you know what's good for you, you will leave now and let me finish killing this boy," the man with white hair outstretches his arm, flattens his hand, and begins to summon up a ball of energy.

"If you shoot that ball of energy, it will be the last thing you will ever do." Piccolo was then instantly right in the man's face, then far away, below him, and finally behind him. "As you can tell, I am really fast, and you will soon learn that I am very strong too. So don't tempt me into killing you. I may be old, but I am still the strongest fighter left on this planet." With that said, Piccolo instantly appears in front of Goku, while the man with white hair stands looking astonished.

"My friends are still inside." Goku stated to Piccolo.

"Then get them, and let's leave. You still have training yet to do today." Piccolo moves out of Goku's path and Goku runs back into the arcade to find his friends. People stare at Goku as if they had seen a ghost. Goku first ran upstairs to find Vash standing at the doorway looking on like he was waiting for something more to happen. Goku grabbed him by the hand and motions him to follow, while pulling Vash down the stairs. He than went over to the table where they left the girls, but they were already gone. Quickly Goku turns around and leads Vash outside to his car.

"Uh...Vash, buddy, you might want to go home now." Goku says as he helps his friend into his car.

"Yeah buddy...maybe I should," still looking off into the distance, astonished, Vash starts up his car and eventually takes off.

Piccolo looks over his shoulder at Goku and yells at him to come on. Goku runs to catch up with the Namik, but right before he does the Namik moves away quickly down the street. "Come on, now you have to run full sprint all the way back home." They continued this all the way back to the valley, meanwhile everyone at the arcade, even the man with white hair, were all having to come to there senses about what just happened for they were all left in a state of shock.

They finally reached the little valley and the sun was already setting. Piccolo turned, faced Goku and asked exactly what happened. Goku explained the whole story to Piccolo. The Namik responded, "That was stupid on your part to show your power. Now Cliff is going to train even harder then before to make sure he can beat you in the tournament." Under his breath he says, "This was not predicted at all."

"What?" Goku replies to the quiet comment of this green master, but is ignored.

"I hope his prediction comes true, I am starting to wander," Piccolo thought to himself. After a moment of thought, the green teacher turns to his student and begins to ask, "Yesterday you learned how to channel your power, and to fly. Today you need to practice them more to become a stronger fighter. First off we shall start with your flying," Piccolo spent the next hour helping Goku grasp the concept of flying. After getting off the ground again, Goku started to move through the air slowly. He spent the next two hours moving and was soon able to keep up a good pace. When this time had ended Piccolo directed Goku to come down to the ground. Once he did, Piccolo began to speak again, "Now you need to learn how to master control of bringing your power into the form of a energy ball."

"Was that what the man with white hair was doing?"

"Yes, now pay attention. Do you remember how to channel your power from your lessons yesterday?"

"Yes."

"Good, now I need to channel your power in to the palm of your hand," Goku did as he was instructed, and after a minute or so, Goku held a ball of energy in his hand, "Good," continued Piccolo, "now I want you to move your hand and aim the ball at something." Again Goku did as he was instructed. "Now push the ball away using the energy of the ball to make it go at an object. Since the ball is of your energy, it is easier to control then it would be if it was energy from someone else. It is at your control. Now focus, and blast what you are aiming at."

Goku thought long and hard about what the ball was, how he could move it, and how he was communicating with it. Goku was focused on a huge bolder not far off in the distance. Slowly he began to push it away and then his mind pushed it with great force. The ball left his hand, followed by a wave of energy. The ball hit the boulder and destroyed it, but the wave that followed destroyed the surrounding trees. Goku stopped the flow of energy and was astonished by what he just did.

Piccolo stood in amazement as he witnessed another moment of great power being displayed from this man named after a great and old friend. He watched the boy's reaction, which was much like his. He too never knew he possessed such great power. As the moment passed Piccolo finally began his teaching again, "That was incredible. You are showing great displays of power. Now you need to learn the next thing with energy attacks. Multiple power attacks. The attack you did is called a Ki Blast. I want to you make as many Ki Blasts as you can and launch them and different targets. Choose anything you want, but do them until you can't do them anymore."

The boy did as he was asked, but could only produce twelve more Ki Blasts before he fell to his knees tired be on belief. "You are done for today Goku," Piccolo began to say but was quickly interrupted by his pupil.

"That man I fought today, the one with white hair, he was stronger then me right," Goku spoke in a low voice."

Piccolo responded quickly, "Yes, that is why it was dumb of you to fight him right now, you're not ready..."

"Then if I am not ready for him, we are not done," and with that, Goku stood back up, barely able to stand by himself, reached down inside himself once again and found that burning feeling once again, gave it fuel and burst out again with energy surrounding. He screamed at the pain from which his body went through upon releasing this kind of power. His body was barely able to sustain itself. Goku, after stopping his power up, started to hover above the ground; he took aim and started blasting things, while trying to fly at the same time.

Piccolo again stood in shear shock of what he was witnessing. The boy had only been training for a few days, but was already learning how to summon powers deep within him even after he has exerted most of it already.

Teeth grinding Goku continued on for only a few moments longer before again falling to the ground unconscious. Piccolo retrieved the boy and said quietly to him, "You are just like your ancestors, more powerful then I have ever seen. I just hope you can continue this streak of success, for the earth's sake." Piccolo took the boy home and set him on the back porch of the house and quickly left back into the woods to where he had been training the boy.

"Kakarot, come to me, for I seek your council!" Piccolo called out. Quickly a outlined shape of a man appeared ghost like in appearance, only a few feet in front of the Namik.

"Yes Piccolo, what is it?"

"It's the boy, he is more powerful then I thought. He has already mastered flying and Ki Blasts."

"This is good then,"

"Yes and no Kakarot. Cliff has already mastered these things and more. He wanted to challenge me. Plus five men stood up against Goku today and they also knew how to channel their powers. If they would have fully powered up, they would have easily taken on Goku and won. Someone is teaching these kids, but I just don't know who that could possibly be. Things are not how He predicted them. Things have changed."

"Maybe so Piccolo, but we must see how our boy turns out. Maybe he still will reach a power level high enough to take on all these humans and win."

"I hope so, because the monster moves closer and closer to his time here on earth. I just hope that date hasn't changed."

"We all do Piccolo...we all do."
