As the wind in the forest blew over the trees, Goku Jr stood looking up towards something. Infront of the young Saiyan stood a large pole, which seemed to lead to a small platform which itself had a pole which lead to a larger platform.
"So... This is the place I'm supposed to going to?" He said, pulling out a map which his grandma had gave him. The boy opened up the map, looking onto where his grandma had marked down the location of the lookout. He then let out a sigh of relief.
"Seems like the map was accurate enough after all. This must be the lookout that Dende guy lives at." He spoke looking up to the lookout again. He would then start to hover up before flying up at a quick speed. After a few minutes of flying up, Goku Jr would rise above the huge platform of sorts before landing down on it.
The young saiyan looked around the area, seeing a somewhat small white and gold building infront of him with green trees surrounding it and the edges of the lookout. However, no one seemed to be there at the moment, leaving a bit of an eerie feeling to the whole area.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Goku Jr called out. he waited for a few seconds but he got no response.
"Uh… Hello??" he called out again, but to no response again.
"the green dude must be in the building then." Goku Jr then said to himself before walking up to the door of the building. He then grabbed the doorknob and he tried to twist it open, but to no avail. The door had been locked for some reason that was not known to the boy at the moment.
Goku Jr let out a disappointed sigh before starting to walk around the outside of the lookout. He spotted Vegeta.
"Hey! Long time no see, Vegeta!" he said. Vegeta Jr dropped down on the lookout, landing on his feet, looking at his rival for a moment.
"Hmph. It seems like that dude made me come here later than I would like." The young saiyan scoffed to himself.
"Who made you get here later than you expected?" Goku Jr asked, raising one of his eyebrows.
"It's a story for another time. But I'm guessing that since you're here, this must be the place your grandma gave me the directions for me to head to." Vegeta Jr said
"Yeah, I think that this is the place that green guy lives at too." The youngster replied.
"But it doesn't seem like he's here right now." He then added before sitting down on the white floor of the lookout.
"Then what's the point of the coming here at this time if the dudes that's supposed to be training up is out at the shops?" Vegeta Jr groaned, somewhat irritated.
"it's best to be patient, Vegeta. I'm sure he'll come out soon." Goku Jr would say to Vegeta Jr. Suddenly, The two heard a door open and then close, causing them to silent and look to the building's door, where the old green man who they had met two weeks prior stood, a brown wooden staff in hand. Vegeta's face was stern, but Goku had a tiny smile on his face.
"The both of you are right on time." The man said, a slight smile appearing on his face. Vegeta Jr quickly pointed his finger towards the green man afterward.
"I didn't get to ask you this but who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?" the saiyan then asked the old man. He chuckled slightly.
"I am Dende, the Guardian of the earth." He then said, causing Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr to look at him, surprised by the statement he had just made.
"Y-you're really the Guardian of the Earth!?" Goku then asked, the surprised look he had still visible on his face.
"There would be no reason for me to lie about it if I wasn't. But the two of you are here for a good reason, so I will explain the threat at hand to you both." Dende then said. The old man then dropped his smile.
"The foe the both of you faced two weeks ago is beyond anything you could have ever expected to face." He explained, causing Vegeta Jr to raise a eyebrow.
"Explain more, Dende." He then sternly said.
"You didn't have to ask. That boy who the both of you fought, is Kuriza, the grandson of Frieza, Who was the most powerful yet cruel tyrant that the galaxy has ever seen." Dende said in an urgent tone, causing Vegeta Jr's blood to run cold.
"Y-you have to be kidding! There's no way that can be true!" Goku Jr said in disbelief.
"It is true. However, Frieza died an over a century ago. For all his strength, Frieza wasn't invincible. And there were things and entities which made even Frieza feel fear for his own life." The guardian of the Earth stated.
"And eventually, he met the perfect foil to his plans and the one that would end his life, The Legendary Super Saiyan." Dende then said.
"It shouldn't be too hard for the both of you to do away with Kuriza once you get the proper training." He added.
"Wait… did you say something about a Legendary Super Saiyan or did I hear something wrong?" Vegeta Jr then asked, his rather shocked expression turning into a more curious one.
"So you've heard of him before?" The Guardian of The Earth asked.
"Yeah. My mother used tell me about that legend as a bedtime story when I was young. Apparently, my great great grandfather was an storyteller once he got in his older years and he used to tell the story to his grandkids and I guess it just got passed down throughout my family." The saiyan started to explain to Dende.
"Tell me more about what you know about this myth."
"From what I've heard, the Legend goes as follows. When my great great grandfather was an young adult, he found out about a warrior named Kakarotto who was one of the greatest fighters he had ever seen at that point. Kakarotto was also the greatest fighter the earth had to offer and its greatest defender. According to the legend, Kakarotto had fought some of the most dangerous threats the earth had ever seen, from the Demon King Piccolo to the Incarnation of Evil Majin Boo. But one of the hardest foes he faced was the tyrant Freezer, who was seeking an set of mystical wish orbs to achieve immortality, leaving an long and destructive path of destruction as he did. Many people tried to challenge him, but they were all defeated the tyrant as he continued his path of destruction and his search for the wish orbs. However, he was eventually confronted by Kakarot, and the two had an destructive fight. But, despite his own power, Kakarotto was unable to beat Freezer, who managed to withstand the power of his greatest attack. That was until the man's rage reached a boil and he turned into a Super Saiyan and he put fear into the tyrant's heart and he finally was able to defeat Freezer." Vegeta Jr said. Dende let out a tiny laugh.
"That was a long story. You write a novel on that, Vegeta!' Goku Jr said, starting to chuckle a little bit.
"Shut your trap, Goku. This isn't the time to be making jokes." He sternly replied.
"We're in the middle of what could be a world-wide crisis."
"Geez Vegeta, can't I just lighten up the mood a little bit?"
"We need more training" Vegeta said.
"There's no way we could beat them at our current level. I want my name to go down in history as the one who took Kuriza down."
"There's no training for you here, I'm far past my prime for train people like you." said Dende.
"The one you need to talk to is Master Roshi." He then said. Goku Jr raised an eyebrow at that sentence.
"Master Roshi? It's probably déjà vu but I think I've heard that name before somewhere."
"What sort of training can this man offer me?" Vegeta said in a somewhat impatient manner.
"Patience, for one thing," The Guardian of the earth replied.
"And more physical training than you would think." He then added. Goku Jr promptly snapped his fingers afterwards.
"I think that it was called Kame House or something like that," He explained.
"I think I went there once when I was really, really little. Or maybe someone just told me about it?" he added. Vegeta stared at Goku crossly while he stood there in silence.
"Well? Where is it? Don't just stand there doing nothing! We have to get there to begin the best training of our lives!"He impatiently shouted at his rival. This prompted Goku Jr to look at Vegeta and he placed his arms behind his head.
"Oh, I don't know where it is. I just know that's the name of the place." He responded. The boy made a fist and growled, irritated.
"I'm not entirely sure of the directions myself, but if you follow the abnormally high power levels, I'm sure you'll find it." Dende explained. With an exasperated grunt, Vegeta Jr took off. Goku Jr watched him for a moment before turning to Dende.
"Do you have any snacks we can take with us?" The saiyan then asked the Guardian of the earth
"Yeah I have a few things that I could give you." He responded before heading into the building on the lookout. He then walked out with a few things in a sack and another, smaller wrapped item in his hands.
"These are sensu beans," he said.
"Only use them if you have great need of them. They can help you out of a bad situation."
"Ohhh," Goku said, slipping the small package in his pocket.
"What's in here?" he asked of the larger wrapped item.
"Some rice and seaweed, and some bean paste to keep your strength up. Remind Vegeta Junior that it's important to eat every once in a while, or you'll run out of energy. He has a will, to be sure, but he needs to consider his limits and make sure that he takes care of himself. That will be his downfall, if he isn't careful." Dende explained. By the time he finished talking, Goku Jr had already eaten half of the container.
"Oh, I'll save this for him then. See ya Dende!" Goku Jr yelled before he leapt from the tower and took off in the direction he saw Vegeta take.
