Chapter 7: The Training and The Torture.
All of the Z fighters looked at the fighter who had just finished his story. An amazing past to an amazing fighter. His past revealed and his link to Bulma shown to them, they all started considering if they should train him. Each of the fighters looked at each others in thought. Goku turned to Vegeta, who in turn stared at Bulma. Gohan turned to Videl in shock, while Krillin, Tien, Yamcha and 18 all looked and glanced at each other. Mr. Popo and Denda were talking too each other about the situation. Piccolo was just sitting there, staring straight at Shi with a death stare. Chichi's silent sobbing attracted Shi's sorrow. Shi then looked straight forward and in the tone plain and dead, his glassy stare not at anyone. "I wished for this power so I could protect the world," he started getting the attention of everyone, "to protect the one's I care about, unlike before." He ended his statement, and his stare never changed but every one snapped to look at him. Shi looked down to the table remembering. "What wrong?" Bulma dared to ask.
Shi retold the memory. He didn't remember the night that it happened, his memory was finding out. He was at the hospital that he had been taken to. He woke on that day on a comfortable bed, but no like his own bed. He was wide awake, shocked why he wasn't in his bed. He was about 2 years old, able to talk a little and walk. He looked to see to find an unfamiliar face, a woman slightly younger then his mummy. She walked over to his side as he looked up in slight fear and amusement. "Hey there, could you tell me your name please?" she asked in a kind voice as she leant down a little. "My name is Shi." He replied in a nice little tone. "Hello Shi, could you answer me something? Are you Okay?" She asked in a slightly nervous tone. Shi thought about this, he didn't fell any pain. "Erm…No. I don't fell any pain." He looked in to her eyes as a slight tear fell from her eye and rolled down her check, and as it dropped he caught it in his hand. "Is something wrong?" he had asked in such an innocent tone.
Shi was lead into a large room; there were a few silver beds out across the room. There was a wall that had lots of silver doors that lined the back of the room. The nurse that had lead him by the hand let go and walk over the man that was wearing a white coat. The two chatted in the corner as Shi stood watching them. The nurses face n ever changed from being a grim face. The man's face turned from plain to sad and also grim as the nurse spoke to him. He looked towards Shi as he thought over what the Nurse had said. He never thought he would have to make this decision in his life. He turned back to the nurse and nodded. "Thank you doctor." She replied in a little sad voice. She walked back to Shi with another single tear fall down her face. The doctor, however, walked over to the wall of doors and opened two doors that were next to each other. The nurse smiled weakly at Shi and led him to the beds that were rolled out from the doors. The doctor pulled down the sheets of the people who lay there. Shi looked at the faces and fell from earth straight to hell in that one moment. There on the two tables were both of his parents. Each lay un-breathing on the table. Shi slowly began to cry as he turned from the wall and walked slowly forward and away from the bodies. He couldn't believe it, they weren't moving and he never some how that they weren't going home. The nurse walked over from behind and Shi kept walking. She took him by the hand and led him back to his bed as the doctor put the bodies away. Shi never thought about since that night that he cried for the night and slept for the day.
Shi took a serious tone as he looked up after the memory started to fade from his mind. He stared forward with the fury that he held back for years, and his eyes meet with Piccolo's who had been staring back. For the moment that their eyes meet in full force, Piccolo buckled, complete fear and terror rushing his body. The second he saw his eyes, he saw hell itself being held back. Piccolo knew that he would have to train him. Goku and Bulma, who sat opposite, move to comfort Piccolo rose out of his set. Every one was settled by his movement, but even more by what he said. "Yes we will train you. You started tomorrow!" he said and he left. He still felt the terror and fear as he walked out side and found his usual spot and started to meditate. Every one else left apart from Shi who was to stay for his training.
For the next Eight months Shi was trained by the Z fighters. He stayed at the Lookout and learnt all their techniques. First was Piccolo for a month, he was the first to show his power but was almost thrown aside, even at full power. Though he was defeated by Shi, he expected to, so he taught Shi his two strongest moves, The Special Beam Cannon and the Hell zone Grenade. He also taught him the basics of ki and how it is controlled. Next for Shi's training was Krillin. Knowing he had no chance, he taught one of the strongest moves, The Distructo Disc as well as flying. Next was Tein, again knowing he stood no chance, he should Shi the Ki blast Cannon and Spirit Cannon. Vegeta was next. Him being the ever proud warrior, he went full out against Shi in a fight, and lost. Knowing that he had lost, Vegeta forced upon Shi his strongest moves, The Final Flash and his Big Bang Attack. Next was Goku and again Shi was forced to fight Goku, but even at Super Saiyan 3 he still lost. Goku showed Shi how to Instant Translocation and his Two Strongest moves, the Spirit Bomb and the Kamahamaha Wave. Last was Gohan, his job was to see how strong Shi was. When Gohan fought Shi, Gohan lost but only by luck and timing.
He awoke from his Hibernation like state. He still hadn't thought of a name for him self. He had gone in to This state when he felt his mind almost fall apart, something from his other half seemed to interfered with his mind. As he stood from his crossed legged position, he felt the knew techniques inside. Moves that he now knew randomly. Eight months it had been since he had been out. Since he had torn human flesh apart. He craved more if that bliss. He looked up and sensed that there was someone stronger then normal humans round. What fun, he thought, Someone to slaughter. He stood and walked out of his cave, he was back, and he was going to kill what ever he wanted. With that thought he flew towards the energy.
