-2am-

"Goku get up...Goku" kakarot opens his eyes and sees a short bald man smiling at him

"Hey dude long time no see right? Haha"

"Do I know you midget?"

"Insults ouch that really hurts."

"Why are you here?...who are you?"

"Look my name is krillin and honestly this is gonna sound really crazy but I'm from a separate time line. In my time planet vegeta went bye bye and you was sent too earth at a young age"

"What do you mean went bye bye"

"You know boom, kablewee, exploded, decimated, decin-"

"Ok I get your point krillet"

"Krillin"

"That's what I said"

" Back to the matter at hand I'm here because I have seen what you can become. How strong you truly are and I know a few things the goku of my time showed us not to mention a few things of my own. I want too help you get stronger."

"...Yeah I've officially lost it"

"Listen...kakarot...did I say that right?

"Mhmm"

"Ok think about it how'd you learn the kamehameha wave?"

"...in a dream it felt like a memory but I don't remember my dad doing it or wearing orange...wait it wasn't my dad was it? That was me from your timeline and the person he was using it against was...was...King Vegeta"

"Prince Vegeta actually."

"Well our prince died years ago way before I was even born"

"Interesting...so there's no arrogant prince there?"

"No but there's a princess and she's nice"

"Hmmmm that's awesome dude congrats. But will you accept my help or am I just wasting my time" Krillin holds his hand out and beams a large grin at kakarot

"Wait how'd my planet explode. According to vegeta it was the handiwork of a tyrant our goku put down. A tyrant named frieza.

Kakarot stands there for a few taking in the situation he thinks to himself 'is it the same frieza that my dad said turles worked for?' Shaking himself from his thoughts kakarot shakes his hand and nods. "I'll accept your offer"

"Good make your way to wherever you train."

This time kakarot truly wakes up and heads to the gravity chamber. He opens the door and steps in as the door closes the gravity automatically adjust itself to the last used amount of gravity.

"Close your eyes and imagine me standing in front of you. These attacks won't truly hurt your physical body but the pains gonna feel real. In short we're tricking your body into thinking your in a fight."

"The first lesson will be the after-image technique now follow my movements"

-5 hours later-

"Destructo-disk!" Krillin yells as he sends a spinning chakram at kakarot's back it only passes through and after-image and krillin is hit in the stomach by a bruised and beaten kakarot. "Agh good...good lets keep practicing you've learned how to do it but you still can't use it to its full tactical advantage. That was way too obvious"

-Master Bedroom-

Bardocks eyes snap open at the sound of a faint pained cry 'Kakarot' he immediately throws the cover back and sprints to his sons room the doors open and the beds unmade...'hmmmm his closet is open and a training gi is missing...gravity room' he turns and runs to the gravity room

When he gets to the window of the gravity room he sees Kakarot dodge a ki blast from a robot before moving in close. The robot swings and seemingly connects with a ghost as the image of kakarot fades and the robot experiences the trouble of functioning properly with a basketball sized hole in its stomach caused by a small but powerful fist. He watches as another hand comes through the hole and grips one side of the hole and the other grips the opposite side before pulling and begins ripping the robots midsection off.

A series of sparks and small explosions fill the air as the metal and wires protest to the bending and tearing before finally giving way to the strength of a sayian with only one goal. To become stronger than ever before. Kakarot looks to his father with a fire in his eyes that inspired Bardock.

Bardock opens the door to the gravity room and heads to the armoury. He suits up then walks to the control console and restarts the level with amped up difficulty and returns to his sons side. "Ready kakarot?"

He nods to his father "Im Ready"

Across the room the floor opens up and two machine turrets rise from the ground. Then the storage doors around the room open up and 4 mechs step out of each one.

A synthesized female voice says "GO" and the battle begins the bots begin to surround them and the turrets lock on to their specified targets.

Moving simultaneously both kakarot and his father charge forward at the encircling mechs kakarot jumps over one and fires a ki blast behind him destroying it. He then ducks a punch from another bot before grabbing onto its arm and slinging it towards a group of mechs to his left.

Gines voice comes through the speakers "Don't waste your time dealing with the mechs those turrets are going to hit full power soon disable them or your jobs gonna get real hard real fast."

"Here ill cut you a path to the turrets kiddo" Bardock shoots straight into the air and pulls both arms back and draws ki into a ball in each hand. He then thrust them both forward. "Heavens Light!" Two golden orbs pierce the air and speeds to the ground. They make contact with their intended targets And destroys every mech in the blast radius.

With a path clear Kakarot moves in on the first turret a robot decides to get in his way and he simply plows through it like a train. As he flies up the first turret they both reach full power and the one on his right side fires at the sayian child but misses. It fires again and again but still misses kakarot reaches the top of the turret and slams his fist into it.

The other turret not letting up fires another shot it hits both kakarot and the other turret causing a explosion

Hearing the explosion, Bardock looks over his shoulder and instead of seeing kakarot with a huge grin he sees the barrel of the second turret aimed directly at him "Shit!" He somersaults out the way just as the turret began firing at him he jumps and dodges using his speed and cunning to his advantage and lets the turret do the work for him but before it could fire off another shot kakarot appeared in front of the barrel with the head of a fallen mech.

He shoves the head into the barrel and quickly b-line's it towards the last few bots just as the turret fires one more shot. The bullet hits the head shoved in it causing it to explode destroying the turret

Kakarot lands and round house kicks one bot towards his father who fires a ki blast that carries it towards the other two and explodes

The synthesized voice once again blared through the room "Simulation ended. Your time is 7 minutes and 53 seconds"

"I thought you were down for the count for a second kid" Bardock says smiling at kakarot

"Really dad you should by now I don't stay down for long" he says with a arrogant smirk

The door to the gravity room opens and Gine steps in with a smile "Oh now we have two huge egos in the house just wonderful"

Bardock narrows his eyes at her "Hush woman"

She puts her hands on her hips "Make me"

Bardock licks his lips and then remembers their son is in the room and just walks passed her but not before whispering "wait until after kakarot goes to school"

Her cheeks turn red and she looks to her son "Lets go eat breakfast so you can get going too school early bird gets the worm you know"
