The night before the journey to Namek.
"Roshi, you ninkenpoop, wake up! Come on open those eyes of yours. Sheesh, some things never change. I was never able to wake him up when I was training him and now it's exactly the same. Oh I Remember! Hei Roshi look that girls top just popped off."
"What, naked ladies where, where!" Roshi shouted while almost jumping out of bed.
"Hei there are no naked ladies."
"Off course there aren't any naked ladies you moron. I only said that to wake you up"
Roshi couldn't find the source of the voice in his room so he shouted: "Show yourself! There is only one person who called me moron, and he's long dead by now. You have no right to disrespect me in my own house, so come out now or face me in combat" Roshi said.
"As you wish Roshi." The voice said in a more friendly tone. Suddenly a form started to appear in the middle of the room. It was the form of a big muscular man dressed in a white gi. He had a big strong face, with a large white mustache in the middle of it. His blue eyes where staring intensely while he said:"Recongnize me now?"
"M…M…Mutaito? Master Mutaito!" Roshi stammered out while tears started to form in his eyes. "I never thought I would see you again master. I never got the chance to thank you for stopping Piccolo Daimao. I never got to thank you for the training you gave me. Thank you master, thanks for everything!"
"Slow down Roshi, It's allright. I want you to know that all the thanks I wanted was what you have given me. You have continued our style and made sure that there are new warriors capable of defending earth. You have done good my student."
"Thanks master" Roshi uttered with pride in his voice.
"You have become old Roshi, but you still have strength."
"Well I would like to see you when you have passed the three-hundred years age-mark master"
"How are you master?"
"I'm fine for a deadguy, but we do not have the time for small talk. There is an important reason why I have come to this dimension Roshi. And the reason involves you. I've come to tell you that you will be needed on Namek. Your power and expertise will be a great help in the upcoming battles."
"What battles master?"
"I can't tell you the future Roshi, but I will tell you that your power will help save a lot of lives."
"My powers? I'm nothing compared to the younger generation. There is no place for me. I'm maybe a source of great knowledge but power wise I'm nothing."
"Don't sell yourself short Roshi. You have the potential to become one of the most powerful warriors in the universe. Surpassing all human limits! This would not be easy but it would be possible."
"Me, one of the strongest? I don't think that is possible. My greatest student has a son who has surpassed me and is only five years old. I'm only an old geezer spending his last few years being the grandpa and advisor of the group before I can finally rest." Roshi said with a sigh.
"That is not true Roshi, your age is what sets you apart. In fact this is the source of your power!" Mutaito said with comfort in his voice.
"Could you please explain that. I can't see any advantage to being old."
"Actually this is one of the reasons why I have come. Your participation in the upcoming battles will be needed because of your special gifts. By living this long your body and lifeforce have been evolving. Your body needed to adapt it's flow of lifeforce to be able to cope with the great age. Your body's ability to live this long came from the Phenix-elixir. Your ki didn't get this upgrade. A normal human's ki or lifeforce is like a flame that burns fast and bright and then goes out. Your ki flamed much brighter and longer than the normal humans. Because of this your body had to adapt and create a ki-reservoir from wich you could do your attacks and extra-ordinary feats. By increasing your power the ki-reservoir increased as well. Over the years you reached your pinnacle in physical strength. Or the powerlevel that you have now. The power of the Phenix-elixir kept your body on this level. But it didn't do that for your ki-reservoir. That just kept on increasing and increasing. Your ki-reservoir now has almost limitless potential."
"Are you serious master? But if this is true why haven't I noticed this limitless ki-reservoir."
"Because you haven't been training the right way ninkenpoop. You have been training your body, but you should have been training your mind. There is a great difference between the Saiyans and the Humans. Saiyan training focuses on the body and less on the mind. Saiyans can reach new heights just by fighting. Humans can't. Their bodies will grow with their ki to a certain point. They can go on as long as they want but it won't have the same results as training your mind.
In this way we are more a kin to the race of Nameks. They train their mind and by doing this they increase their power."
"But how can I do this master?"
"Very simple Roshi! By meditating constantly. You have to focus on your lifeforce and see it as an immense lake almost bursting through a dam. You will have to keep on pushing your power and focus on that single breakingpoint from which it will flow freely through your entire being, when you keep on doing this the meditation will become second nature to you. When you reach this point your mind will reach a new height and your power as well. You can even train your body when you are meditating. You will have to wear weighted clothing and meditate and levitate constantly during all of this. I learned this training technique from one of those ancient Nameks in the other world. This will be no easy task Roshi, but I have faith that you can do this. You are thousands of years a head of our race. Other humans could reach this level as well. But they need the ki-reservoir to be able to do this. The only way that they can get that is by living for hundreds of years, and it will take thousands of years before mankind will live for such a long time. In fact you are the first of your kind. You are above the human race. You have reached a new level. The only problem is that you can't grasp your true power yet. This will take a while but it is necessary."
"I understand master. I will start immediately." Roshi said.
"No Roshi you won't start yet. You have to prepare for a journey. You will be going to Namek."
"But master I'm not strong enough to go with them."
"You will be strong enough at the end of your journey. You'll be needed to fight the darkness on Namek. But most of all your students will need you. And you know what I always used to say. If the master doesn't do it, you don't have to either."
"Ahemm..,I kind of forgot that one actually."
Mutaito sweatdrops and falls over. "You moron, the number one rule: Always pay attention."
"Yes master."
"It was good to see you my student but it is time for me to go. I have told you the message that was given to me. Now make me proud and show the universe what a Superhuman can do"
"I will master, or at least I'll try." Roshi said with tears in his eyes while his master was fading away.
"I'm proud of you Roshi! You were my best student." Were Mutaito's last echoing words.
Roshi was thinking about what his master said and made up his mind. "I will show the world what I can before I leave this dimension. It's time to get ready"
With thoughts of the upcoming journey in his head he started to pack his stuff.
