He woke with a stir. (Where am I?) thought the young warrior. He raised his head off his pillow to look around. He saw rock walls everywhere. Pictures of landscapes littered the walls. The room was simple. It contained a dresser, a chest, a full body mirror, and a night stand. A wooden door covered what appeared to be the only way in or out of this room. Suddenly Goku's neck muscles aced and he remembered he was hit in the neck, but by whom? Goku swung his legs off the edge of his bed. He was still fully clothed. His mind wandered of where he was but was interrupted by noises outside of his room. The door that blocked his room quickly opened and a short little bald man stepped through. He was old and walked slow, but he gave off an energy signature that rivaled that of his own. The little man shut the door behind him and entered the room. He then went over to a wall and pushed back a curtain that was hidden in the wall. He pulled out a chair, brought it over to where the young one sat and began to speak.
"I bet you are wandering why you are here. I will tell you but you need to answer some of my questions first. What did Piccolo tell you before he died?" the little man sat back in his chair quiet and relaxed waiting for an answer.
"He told me to seek out a man to the north, so I may finish my training," Goku paused then asked, "Who are you anyways?"
"My name will come shortly, but first, did Piccolo give you any other mission other then to find this man?"
"Yes he told me I am to save the earth. Do you know my master Piccolo?"
The old man paused for a minute to think, then continued on, "Yes I knew Piccolo very well. I fought by his side during battles that should have destroyed this planet. At one time, Piccolo was my enemy, but a man changed that in his heart. See Piccolo used to be a very evil man. He challenged a warrior unlike any other during the martial arts tournament over two hundred years ago. I was there. I fought in it as well, though I was no match for either Piccolo or the man who changed him. That was the same battle that ended the martial arts tournament for a few years," the old man looked up toward the roof of the cave room and sighed. "Well like most good things, they were here and gone in what seems like a flash to me now. Piccolo, myself, and few others were known as the Z fighters. We protected the earth from powerful foes, but we kept it under raps from the world. We had no need of being honored for our heroism. Heck some of us did it just to see if we were strong enough to do it. The only event that was actually recorded in the history books was during the times of the Cell games. Do you remember hearing of it boy? It was the same time and year the martial arts tournament began again here on earth," the little man paused again and then continued, "Years there after peace finally found earth. No more monsters found their way out to our little planet. By this time many of the Z fighters were dead and long gone. Well fate it seems it without a sense of irony. Another threat has shown itself to this planet. Piccolo choose you as a warrior who could fight it. I just hope he is right."
"Whow whow whow, what has any of this have to do with me?" Goku quickly asked.
"Much my young lad, you alone posses the ability to become something more powerful then this planet has seen in a long time. Powerful enemies come this way to hunt you out and kill you. The only good thing is, only a couple of these enemies have actually seen you. You are still cloaked to all the rest, for now that is. That is why I must finish your training. You must be strong enough to win; you must become something that is in your blood. Goku, my name is Krillin, and I now will be you master."
"You will teach me to fight?"
"Yes, we have little time, but first I want you fully rested and ready to go. It's morning right now. You go to the kitchen and have my wife make you something to eat. Then when you are done, come find me outside. I need you to show me all that Piccolo has taught you," Krillin then stood up, moved the chair back and headed for the door. He said one last thing before he left, "I promise to make sure you are ready for the tournament, everyone is counting on you," then he left.
Shortly after Krillin left Miya came into the room. Goku was staring at a painting on one of the walls. Miya approached Goku and said, "Are you alright?"
"I don't know Miya. Everything is just happening so fast. I mean two weeks ago I was going to school and I had a life. Then Piccolo shows up, trains me, then dies before I truly learn anything from him. Now I have a new Master," Goku then turned around, opened his arms and welcomed Miya to hug him. She did and he said in her ear, "So far the only good thing that has happened this month is me meeting you."
Miya released from Goku's hug and said, "You better go and eat. 18 made you some breakfast. I already ate. I think I will go and do some training of my own."
"Ok." (She trains? I wander what this girl has to offer. She seems to be so mysterious, but then again, we really didn't talk when we first met.) "Thanks for sticking around." With that Goku gave Miya a quick kiss and left out of the room toward the kitchen.
Goku entered the kitchen and found a young beautiful blond woman flipping pancakes. He found a seat at the bar. Orange juice and milk was out and a glass to fill. Goku did, and then asked what 18 was making for breakfast. She replied that she was preparing pancakes, eggs, waffles, bacon, ham, biscuits and gravy, cereal, hash browns, toast, English muffins, several pastures, and she had fruits set out on the table. It all came in great stacks and amounts. 18 knew how much a person like Goku eats. Not much was said during this pig eating process.
Goku, after stuffing his face beyond belief, went out side to look for his new master Krillin. It came to his surprise that his master was nowhere in sight. Goku finally flew up into the air to see if maybe he could see Krillin off in the distance, but just then, the wind picked up, debris was flying all around, and finally an explosion of power just went off behind Goku. When he turned to see his new master practicing, he was in shock to find his girlfriend fighting him over a newly made crater. Quickly Goku flew over to get close to see what was going on, whether they were sparing or actually fighting. When he got close Krillin and Miya stopped and both started a power wave. Miya started off with her hand above her head and spoke the words, "Mahsincoha!" Goku recognized the attack because it was one that Piccolo taught him. Miya launched the attack and it was big. Krillin though, started one that was strange.
Krillin put his hands to his side, left foot forward, and eyes focused on Miya, then he spoke these words, "Kah…ma…ha…ma…HA!!!" the attack completely engulfed Miya's attack and was so big and powerful that she almost didn't make it out of the way. Krillin didn't even seem too drained after using such a powerful attack, and then Goku was noticed. Both fighters came down to join him.
"What the hell is going on?" Goku asked quickly with confusion written all over his face.
"Well Miya came out here to train and I wanted to see what she has got. She is really good too, not nearly as powerful as you Goku, but still strong."
"Yeah Krillin was just showing me some moves, he is really good." Miya added. Krillin blushed at the comment.
"What?! You know what, never mind. Krillin I have to ask, what was that move you just used?"
"Well that was a special technique that when you are ready, I will teach you. First let's rumble," before Goku knew it, his sparing lesson had begun. Krillin attacked him with much surprise. Miya just sat down and watched the show.
(So I want to know, what is going through your minds right now as you read this story? Review and let me know. I am excited to hear what you have to say!)
