Welcome to the second chapterin the Dragonball is Real? series.
All Dragonball characters do not belong to me. They are the original workings of Akira Toriyama. I'm just messing around in his world.
'thoughts'
It's been 3 months since the fight with Radditz, and Myst had learned much. In the first month, he'd learned how to fly, after many follies still evident until he got the cast off last week. He'd been working on a teleportation technique since then. "Hmm, I think it's about time to check up on the guys" he looked down the field at his belongings where his cell phone lay "Alright, I'll try it one last time" he concentrated on traveling the distance without moving and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was standing in the same spot. "It didn't work, oh well, what could I expect? I've been trying for two months to get it and it hasn't worked yet." He walked over to his things, picked up his cell phone and made a call.
"Hello?"
"Is Staghe there?"
"No, he's out there fighting again Myst." it was Staghe's younger sister.
"Good, we need it, look, let him know I'll be in to help them out once I get this new move down." Myst looked up at the clouds, which were about to rain. It was going to be a long flight out to where they were. 1000 miles wasn't a distance to mess with, especially with a storm on its way.
"Alright, hey, why do you guys keep going off in secret to train, what's the big deal?" she was curious, but if he told her, he might start a panic.
"Oh, there's my ride, gotta go, bye." Myst hung up the phone and took another look around. "Wish I knew how to do the Instant Transmission."
"Did you say Instant Transmission?" there was a voice behind him. The voice was full of experience but had a tinge of optimism to it. It belonged to a tall man with tanned skin and out of control spiky hair. He dressed in sleeveless armor that could be seen on some Saiyans. Over the armor was a grey sash that draped from his left shoulder to his right hip. Another distinguishing feature was an X scar on his right cheek.
Myst turned around and couldn't help but stare "Th-that armor." 'That can't be Goku, though he looks like him. Bardock? No, he's dead. Turles shouldn't be around here yet. Not with Goku dead. With hair and an outfit like that, though, he has to be a Saiyan. That means trouble.' Myst gulped, "Who are you?"
The man smirked, the right end of his lip raising a quarter of an inch. "If names are important to you, then I'll tell you. My name's Myst Xtremis, and I already know your name's Myst Piax."
Myst stepped back with his left foot and bent his legs, going into a fighting stance. 'He shouldn't know my name!' "What are you doing here?"
"I'm not here for a fight, if that's what you're worried about. In return, you have to not tell anyone and I can call in a favor from you in return." His smirk grew into a smile. "I showed up to teach you the Instant Transmission technique."
"The Instant Transmission technique? How do you know that?" Myst relaxed his stance.
"Does that matter?" The stranger put two fingers to his forehead, disappeared from in front of Myst. "Do you agree to my terms? I'm sure you'll be thankful for the lesson." His voice sounded from behind him.
Turning around to catch sight of the voice, Myst saw the man lower his fingers. "What do you mean when you say I can't tell anyone?"
"What I mean is that you can't tell anyone how you learned the technique, and, you can't teach the technique to others. In fact, as far as anyone will know, you never met me here today. Oh, and before you ask, you'll find out the favor I ask when that time comes around. Don't worry though, I wouldn't ask you to do anything against your morale standards."
"Are you going to join us in the fight against the saiyans, since you know this technique and so much about me?" Myst asked, straightening up to his full height.
The stranger shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not allowed to interfere in the destiny of this world. Besides, they're small fries, you'll understand in time. However, this is the best chance you have to survive and to help save your world."
Myst took a few seconds to think about it. "I'll do it." 'I've been trying to figure out that move since I got flying down, there's no way I'm going to let it slip out of my grasp now.' "I give you my word that I won't teach the technique to anyone, and that I won't tell anyone about our meeting here. I won't tell how I learned the technique, and, I'll do your favor, when the time comes."
"Good." The stranger said. "We should hurry, this won't work so well in the rain. Now stand still." He held his fingers out open and pointed slightly to the ground. After what seemed only a moment of concentration, he started to wave his fingers wildly. Light started appearing on the ground around Myst, forming a circle it was filled with a strange symbol and strange workings around the outside.
Myst had enough time to observe the circle, "Is that an X?" before the light flew up to overtake him. It lasted about ten seconds, bathing him in warm energy, at the same time, pulling on every muscle and tendon in his body. Just as quickly as it erupted, it subsided. "What, what did you do to me?" Myst looked at his hands, they looked no different, but he felt, stronger, in a way that he couldn't explain.
"Your power level was too low to properly perform the Instant Transmission. If I hadn't released some of your potential just now, when you finally did learn it, you'd be defenseless after a teleport."
"Whoa, so that's what it feels like." Myst squeezed a fist, to test his strength.
"That was only half of it, now, I'm going to give you a quick course in Instant Transmitting."
"Right." Myst nodded, ready to learn.
HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, 2 HOURS LATER
Staghe and Lazy were on their way to one of their "secret" practice sessions and were having a disagreement along the way.
"I think it's time we had a good physical session today, I feel like I don't have much left to keep this up" Lazy said shaking his head.
"I know what you mean, I've been feeling low lately too, but we have to keep this up." They walked into a clearing, "But if we don't have the energy, we might have to give up."
"Oh don't give up that easily" Myst smirked from the log he was sitting on.
"Myst? Myst! What are you doing here so soon? You're an hour early." Ant said.
"What about being seen? You're the one who's always so careful about being caught, now you're flying around in the daytime?" Lazy asked.
"I didn't fly" Myst put two fingers to his head and was instantly behind them both. "Boo."
