Yo! Son Goku and friends! Saiyan Saga (Chapter 9)
Krillin
"This is crazy, you really just train in volcanoes, Big Guy?"
The black stone steps the three of them stood on sloshed and corroded from the fiery forces below.
"Why not?" Tien replied, still in his stance, sweating up a storm.
"Maybe because you get gassed if you make the wrong move?" Yamcha replied with sass, a clear look of sarcasm on his face.
Tien finished his pose and brought his hands in close as he stood up. He made a ninja-like handsign with his index, middle finger, and thumb pointing towards while his ring and pinky were folded over the knuckles.
"Phu!" Tien exhaled and a burst of energy propelled his massive reserves of sweat outwards.
"EWWW What the fuck!" Yamcha exclaimed as he brushed off the liquid.
"Hahahaha."
"That was pretty messed up, Tien."
"So what's up? Goku talk to you guys too?"
Yamcha just gave his 'friend' the stink eye as he swept away the remaining fluid.
"Yeah, I just thought that we might run it back up Korin's. We could try and see if we can receive the same training Goku got when he went back in the day."
Tien just nodded his head with a roused look.
"Good place to start I think."
"All we have is hearsay. How long do you think we actually have to train?" Yamcha pondered aloud.
"Well I don't know, we just gotta trust Goku."
"Tch." Yamcha smacked his lips.
Goku
The two brothers threw rapid strikes at nothing, cutting the air around them and making sharp sounds.
FWF! FHS! SOOSH! WISH! FWASH! SWUF! FSH! VSH!
King Kai nodded and stepped in a wide circle around the pair.
"Your speed has increased, the both of you. Good work. You Saiyans have a lot of work ethic. You don't actually need all that much work right now Goku, so you can take a break."
"Whoo~" The younger brother whistled out as fell down on the grass in a starfish formation.
FWU-FOOH!
Raditz let loose a one-two combination before he stopped and turned to the Kai.
"You don't know how to use Kiai, do you?" King Kai questioned as he stepped in front of the older brother.
"What tha hell is Kiai?"
As soon as the words came out of Raditz' mouth he was blasted in the stomach with harsh winds. He fell to his knees from the intense gust.
Fwu~POKK!
"Ouooooh~, what the hell?" Raditz grunted out.
King Kai just had his right palm extended outwards for a moment before he sheathed it behind his back and in the arm loop of left sleeve.
"That, is a Kiai. You manipulate the wind with your ki and strike outside your traditional striking range. It's a good tool to have as it is more closely linked to striking than blasting. You seem to have a knack for striking Raditz so I think this could be good for you. Kiai is preferable to energy blasts as well since they waste less ki reserves."
Raditz clutched at the red mark on his stomach as he stood up. He grimaced before returning to eye contact with his master.
"I'd also like to see your skills in action. I know you have Dynamite Monday and Double Sunday. Show them to me and we'll see if we can refine them."
"Hmmm." The older brother pondered and furrowed his brow before taking a wide stance.
Raditz extended his arms out wide and brandished his large wingspan. Purple and pink energy crackled from his palms and he cried out:
"Double Sunday!"
He brought the two energy sources together and fired both at King Kai in a pink beam. The master effortlessly caught the blast with his left hand and it fizzled out very quickly.
Tuttututututututut~
It petered out in a way Raditz nor Goku had ever seen before, King Kai just performed the Ki Blast Dissolvant technique.
King Kai took a second to assess, bobbing his head here and there.
"Decent. Though Double Sunday falls too easily against good defence, you'd really only like to fire Double Sunday when the enemy is weakened or unable to defend."
Raditz was thrown for a loop.
Raditz hadn't cancelled the blast per se, The Ki Blast Dissolvant technique had shut out the ki and overridden it, cancelling the caster's will forcefully.
"I also noticed that Double Sunday cannot fire for sustained lengths of time, and that you're wasting too much energy firing it. Buuuut that can be said for almost all of your techniques."
Raditz balled his right hand in a fist.
"This is preposterous! How'd you do that so easily!?"
"I just used Ki Blast Dissolvant. Your Double Sunday couldn't hold up against my will."
"Bu-uh…" Raditz was at a loss.
"Show me Dynamite Monday." He propositioned with his left hand, waving his pupil in to attack.
Raditz got into a squat and gathered power. His veins rose to the surface and he shouted with a war cry:
"Dynamite Monday!"
In a flash, Raditz was in the master's face and throwing snappy punches and kicks. King Kai weaved through the strikes effortlessly, he looked to almost be dancing. Goku's eyes widened at the maneuver.
"But uh~" Raditz complained
POKK!
Another Kiai impacted Raditz in the stomach.
"Damn it… uhh~" His gravely voice wavered as he took in shaky breaths.
"I asked you to show me the technique, so show me the technique."
"Alright!" Raditz roared, the Oozaru drums beat again as he threw at King Kai. "Dynamite Monday!"
VSH! FSH! WUSH! WISH! SWSH! FASH! FISH! SWUF!
"You can stop now."
Raditz slowed down and slid to a stop, kicking up grass.
"During Dynamite Monday, all you do is aim for the head. That's not a bad strategy, because, with your power, you could really do some damage and debilitate the enemy if you land. But if the enemy knows, they only have to weave with one part of their body."
King Kai looked down to the grass, deep in thought and there was a long silence before he spoke again.
"Offence, you're best on offence so I recommend Ki Blast Dissolvant over Ki Blast Parrying."
"Parrying?" Raditz raised a brow.
"If you master dissolving, you can do it while you run at the enemy. It's a lot of work but it requires much less finesse than the perfect parry. You strike me as a rough and tumble guy so I think the routes with more finesse are less your style, correct?"
"I... guess?"
"Well you like to jam elbows, knees, and headbutts at your enemy. I don't think you're particularly worried about grace."
Raditz just lowered his lip and made an impressed face.
"Fair enough." He thought to himself.
"Go take a rest, I'll see what your brother has in store for me."
Raditz nodded and scratched his chin as he went inside King Kai's little hut. Goku sprung to life with a kip up and a laugh.
"Alright! So am I just supposed to show you everything?"
King Kai nodded and Goku closed his eyes.
"Solar Flare!"
The blinding flash of yellow was contained completely by the master deep black teashades.
"That, is one you should hold on to Goku."
"Really? I always thought so too."
"As long as your opponent has eyes, that technique will always have merit. I know for a fact that it will scale the best out of all your techniques."
"Awesome."
Goku took up a thinking pose for a moment before his face lit up. He stood stoic with his arms at his side for a moment and King Kai stared on. Goku tapped him on the shoulder and King Kai smiled as he turned around.
"I remember this one, you used it on Gregory."
"Yup! It's called-"
"After-Image."
"Huh-Hah!" He laughed out goofily. "Umm…" He took up another pose to think.
"I guess it's just the Kiai and the Kamehameha then." Goku leaped back near the tree by the well and gathered the blue energy in his hands.
"Ka-me-ha-me…" He breathed in deep and the blue blur flared. "HAAA!"
The blue blast shot out of Goku's hands in a clean stream. King Kai furrowed his brow at the beam and got out his left index finger. Pressing his fingerprint right on the energy he guided the stream in a loop and directed it back at Goku. The younger brother's eyes widened as he saw his own blast coming.
"WHOA!" Goku cried out as he stopped the energy and ducked under the beam in a very low teardrop motion, almost touching his chest to the ground.
"Goodness, you're pretty flexible Goku."
VYOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo~
"Whu~" King Kai whistled as he watched the blue wave fly off into the aether. "Mm-Hum!" The master cleared his throat in an exclamatory way.
"THAT, was a Ki Blast Parry and not the dissolvant. Ki Blast Parry works better from long range and in defensive stances as you have more time to prepare and therefore more time to react and shift any blasts coming your way."
"That's really cool!" Goku shouted like a kid. "Hee-Hee-haugh! When can I learn that one!?"
"Show me your Kiai and I might have you work on parrying next."
"For sure!" Goku exclaimed with some laughs. "Dah!"
He stuck out his palm in an almost claw like shape, the wind pocket bursted at King Kai's chest, but the wind seemed to roll off him instead of making a solid impact.
"Whoa!" he furrowed his brow. "That didn't seem like you dissolved it, but you didn't put your hands on it either… Was that still a parry?"
King Kai nodded.
"Well dang! How do you parry without even touching the energy!?" He scratched his head and widened his eyes dramatically.
"You've got a lot to learn, Son Goku."
"Heck yeah!" He jumped into the air with glee and fist pumped as he landed. "Let's go!"
"What I just did was the first step to a perfect parry, but even I am nowhere near close to mastering the technique."
Goku just nodded and maintained his eye contact and goofy smile.
"The first thing I need you to do Goku if you want to Ki Blast Parry is learn the start to Ki Sourcing as that is basically what you're doing, only backwards."
Goku scratched his head.
"Ki Sourcing is a lifelong process, that's why the Kiao-Ken exists. As your body changes, so too does your Ki Sourcing, it is Very impressive that Raditz can even do it shoddily. Now, we'll wait for your brother and then begin more training with that."
"Sounds good to me!"
Chiaotzu
"I see you out here Chiaotzu, you've renovated since I've seen you last. Damn, you drippin'!"
Well dressed individuals with curved swords stared intently at Yamcha.
"You've gotta refer to Chiaotzu as Emperor, dumbass." Tien nudged The Wolf with his elbow.
"Oop~" Yamcha let out dumbly, making a duck face.
The three of them had stepped into Emperor Chiaotzu's throne room looking to see if they could recruit him to go train with Kami. Emperor Chiaotzu reigned over the empire of Mifan and also happened to be Tien's best friend as well as a student of the crane school teachings.
"Emperor." Krillin bowed his head.
Chiaotzu was wearing an excellently crafted and detailed crimson garb. It had gold trim as well as gold embellishments all over it. He wore a purple hat with orange fur and a thorn at the top. Blue beads hung from his neck and matching purple shoes completed his royal fit.
"Tien!" He exclaimed cheerily as he floated over.
Emperor Chiaotzu was a small being. He's technically a human but many strange creatures litter Earth so I'm not quite sure how accurate human is considering that context. He is 3 feet tall exactly.
"What's up, Emperor?" He responded with a smug tone.
The two touched their left pointer fingers together and then followed up by touching left elbows. They swapped sides and pressed right pointers before following through with a coughing motion into their right sleeves and extending their left arms out straight in an almost pose-like maneuver.
"YUH!" They both exclaimed before laughing a bit.
"Krillin, Yamcha." He addressed both with a smile and nod.
"Good to see you."
"Yo! Little Man's got a sick pad."
Chiaotzu rolled his eyes.
"Is there something the matter?" He asked plainly.
"Well… Kinda." Tien reiterated, rubbing the back of his head. "I know you got your own problems but the empire could suffer as well if we don't do something about this new threat."
The small Emperor looked distressed at the comment.
"New threat? Is it bigger than Piccolo? Why would you ask me?" He floated in a swooping motion as he considered what they had told him.
"Well, yeah. Way bigger." Krillin let out nervously.
"Where's Goku? I'm sure he'd like to help with this."
"Yikesssss." Yamcha grit his teeth and looked over to the guards.
"Goku's going to help us, but right now he's in Other World training."
"Ah, he has passed on." Chiaotzu looked to the ground with composed melancholy.
Yamcha just swallowed hard and looked at Chiaotzu.
"So you in or what?"
The Emperor took a while to contemplate.
"I… I'd need collateral. I can't just leave the empire unattended."
"Don't you have chancellors for that or sum'?" Yamcha replied.
"Ima' be honest, I don't trust a single one of these dudes." He let out in a closed whisper next to the group.
"Ahhhhhh." Yamcha exhaled.
"That does pose a problem." Krillin thought aloud.
"Damn. What are we gonna do then?" Tien questioned, rubbing the back of his head.
"What are the chances we could convince Korin or Yajirobe to come down here instead for training?"
"Slim to none, Krillin." Tien replied quickly.
"Hmmm." Krillin rubbed his chin as he thought.
"I guess all we can do is train here in the meantime and we'll hash out the details later."
"Fair enough." Tien stated.
Yamcha got up from his squatted position and stretched his arms out, cracking his fingers.
"Let's train in the courtyard, the scenery is beautiful." Chiaotzu asserted.
"That works!" Krillin exclaimed, slamming his right fist into his left. "We need to teach Yamcha how to fly and the water would be a good deterrent and measuring tool."
Krillin
The courtyard was large and had a sizable pool of water. The water was broken up into three segments, the left, the middle, and the right. Both the right and left had steps that led into the pool where the water wasn't very deep. The middle however led down far.
"Well this is where the dragon used to be, right?" Tien asked.
"It's still here."
Chiaotzu pointed to the middle of the pond which had a large crevice. Cracks on the floor displayed a thin symbol with a large head at the top. The pond also had a waterfall draining into it from above, green grass littered the courtyard and several white pillars dotted the landscape. White stone steps and tiles coloured the pool itself.
Yamcha took off his tank top, shoes, and jeans, flinging them onto the grass. He stepped slowly into the water.
"Damnn~ this bitch colddddd~" He shivered, shaking like a newborn.
"Heh." Tien laughed snarkily as he threw his own clothes to the wayside.
Krillin only took off his black shoes, electing to fly above the pair in the pool. Chiaotzu had brought an embellished chair to sit down in, watching the trio.
Yamcha rubbed his shoulders as goosebumps formed on his skin.
"So uh… What should I do first?"
Tien stepped back and looked to the sky.
"I think the best way to think about it when you start is to think of it less like flying-"
"-And more like walking!" Krillin interjected.
Tien smiled and snapped his fingers in agreeance.
"Get your feet off the ground and try to plant them where there isn't anything."
Yamcha looked to the invisible nothing in front of him and planted his foot down firmly.
Slashh!
Nothing happened and he tumbled forward into the water, splashing all about.
"Hah-haa!" Tien chortled.
Fluoshu!
"That's not funny, Tien. That sucked!" He yelped, pointing a finger as his long black mane clung to his form.
Yamcha pushed back his hair and wiped the water from his face.
"Come on, Champ. Remember to use your ki, can't fly without it."
"I know that!"
"Where's your wings at then?"
"I'm gonna flick that third eye right off your forehead, Crane!"
"Ooh, you hear that Krillin? The Wolf's angry!"
"Maybe a jumping start would be good for you?" Krillin proposed.
Yamcha lifted his leg to step on the air but it was to no avail and he just stomped the water harshly.
Blosh!
"Damn!" He cursed. "Maybe." Yamcha rested his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky.
The Wolf crouched down low, submerging himself to chest height in the water. His legs tensed before he used the spring action and leaped like a madman into the air. He cleared the height of the waterfall and hung in the air for quite a while before dropping back.
"Imagine you're falling into a blanket! You can use your ki to slow the descent!"
Yamcha closed his eyes and landed with some force, causing waves to spill out from his entry.
"Ahhh!" Yamcha let out as he swung his fist with defeatism.
Krillin took a composed stance and looked at the waterfall in thought.
"How about you do one of your wolf dashes?"
Yamcha's focus was drawn to Krillin immediately.
"I'm listening."
"You always use your lead foot to dash like crazy in one go. Maybe we start from there."
Yamcha stared intently as Krillin pantomimed.
"If you focus less on the speed and more on the leap itself you could do like a long jump kind of thing and we'll see if that's the strat."
"So more like floating?"
"Yeah." Tien interjected.
"Floating is the first step." Chiaotzu stated loudly with a pointed finger, rising from his chair.
Yamcha nodded with some intensity as he peered at his staring reflection in the water.
"Okay! Let's get it!" He punched his left palm with some vigour and walked up the steps of the pool.
Yamcha
"HUUUUua!" Yamcha yelped as he launched across the pond.
The grass wavered intensely upon his harsh landing.
"Again!" Krillin yelled, fixing his positioning in the air.
Yamcha backed up and readied his left foot. He leaned in deep in the stance and leaped above the pool. He caught big air time and closed his eyes. The descent was slower than previous.
"Exactly!"
"That's what we want, Wolf!"
"Keep it slow!" Krillin commanded. "Whatever you did there, try to do it again."
Yamcha hyped himself up with some light bobs up and down, assuming the stance again.
This time after leaping Yamcha tucked his legs in tight towards his torso and slowed down even more. He spread his wingspan out wide and stalling his momentum even further. The Wolf touched down very gracefully.
"There we go!" Tien yelled.
Yamcha stood up in a smile and brushed the bottom of his nose with his thumb.
"Now let's see if we can get you in the air with some intention!" Krillin proposed. "Try and do that air walking thing we talked about like an hour ago."
Yamcha sharpened his focus and closed his eyes once more. He stuck out his leg and attempted to stand on nothing.
"..."
His foot was shaky but Yamcha stood up, meeting his left foot's positioning with his right. He floated down quickly, teetering every which way.
"Uhhhh… better than last time." Yamcha said with raised shoulders.
"If we can get you to do that, Yamcha, you're flying at that point." Tien stated as he patted The Wolf on the shoulder.
King Kai
"That's crazy, Raditz, you don't know how to sense for ki?"
Goku and Raditz just looked at each other.
"Ooo-ooh."
"That monkey's going to make me blow a gasket."
"I mean I thought you guys were monkeys too. Why the self-hatred?"
"Shut up, Greg."
"You can't even sense ki and you're telling me off? Sheesh." Gregory sassed as he floated away into the tree by the well.
Raditz made a disappointed face before King Kai walked up to him and Goku.
"The first step to sensing ki is awareness. You need to be able to accurately track your target if you can't see them."
King Kai propositioned his hand over to Goku.
"And especially when you can see them."
The After-Image faded and Raditz' eyes widened.
"Huh?"
"Precisely. What your brother just did is decently impressive. He used ki and his leftover presence to fabricate a copy of his being."
Goku rounded the corner of King Kai's house with a laugh.
"If the After-Image is poorly constructed like your brother's you would have been able to tell easily."
"Wha?" Goku exclaimed.
"You put as little into the technique as possible, if I can't sense anything that means the image you presented to me can't be real."
"Ooooooh!"
"It's a double edged sword. On the one hand you don't want to be spending all your energy on techniques that can't hurt the opponent but on the other, once you start fighting enemies who really know what they're doing, they won't be fooled by these weak After-Images."
"So I should be putting all my ki into them?"
"Well if you want them to work against skilled fighters, then yes."
"Gosh, I didn't know just how strong I wasn't." Goku scratched the back of his head and let his jaw hang open dumbly.
"Let's get started on sensing then shall we?"
Goku and Raditz nodded. The younger brother smiled and swatted away at King Kai's form. It dissipated.
"Huh-hah!" Goku laughed with glee.
Raditz was taken aback.
"Damn, Goku… What gave it away?" King Kai's voice rang through their minds.
"Your mouth wasn't moving the way it usually does. Plus I thought you might do something goofy like tell us to search for your energy and then we'd be lost looking for you."
"Hmmm…" King Kai brought it inwards, thinking to himself. "Goku keeps on impressing me."
Goku just smiled and elbowed Raditz.
"I'm gonna run that training program anyway, it's quite effective. But this time you can't just interact with the After-Images. You get a free pass on the first guess but you fail on the second."
Over a hundred small blue men in black robes and teashades suddenly appeared on the green grass of the small planet.
"If you fail, you have to do 1,000 pushups with no ki."
"In this gravity!?" Raditz blurted out.
"MMM-HMMM." The crowd hummed in tandem.
"Choose which one you think is me. That is all. Good luck!"
"Great." Raditz grunted, squinting and peering out into the ocean of King Kais
Krillin
The quartet sat quietly in a well furnished red room, their regal silverware clinking nicely against the also nicely ornamented china. The dark wood chairs possessed deep red velvet lining, matching the dinner table's theming. A stunning golden candelabra as well as glass chandelier gave a off well acquainted for royal air.
"This food is delicious, Emperor, you have our thanks for treating us to such a meal." Krillin posited to Chiaotzu from across the large red table, bowing.
"Of course." The Emperor responded with poise.
"Yeah this is hittin'." Yamcha declared as he knocked back a bowl of steaming orange curry. "Whoo~ Hoht!"
Krillin just looked to Yamcha with a 'bruh' face. The Wolf raised his shoulders.
"I've been so focused with my training that I haven't asked in so long." Tien stated through bites here and there, dabbing at his mouth with a navy blue cloth. "Do you still run the tournaments, Emperor?"
Chiaotzu batted his lashes and nodded.
"Any strong competitors?"
"Well…" Chaiotzu answered, his chair lifting from the ground slightly and leaning back.
"There was that police officer guy 2 years ago. He was strong, won the whole thing. I think his name was Hercule? Kinda hard to forget a name like that. He had this big poofy afro." Chiaotzu said the last of the statement and pointed at the trio with his fork before biting down.
Nom.
"I wanted him to win to cerse-" Chaiotzu chomped down and swallowed. "Cause his request was for me to pay for his daughter's college tuition. Pretty nice wish."
"Anyone else?" Yamcha questioned as he put his arms behind his back and leaned away from the table, his chair teetering on the edge.
"Uhhhm. You guys missed it but Upa came and had a really nice breakout performance 5 months ago."
"Upa!?" Krillin perked up. "Nice!" He rocked a fist pump in response.
Chaiotzu took a swig from the red liquid in his tall glass.
"Didn't win tho."
"Who won then?" Yamcha asked as he almost fell over in his chair. "Whew." He whistled before immediately rocking back and forth again.
"King Chappa."
Tien just raised a brow.
"What a god, he still fighting?"
Chiaotzu nodded and took another sip from the tall glass.
"Sick!" Yamcha asserted, slamming his chair into the proper position.
"He just wished for a bountiful harvest so I ordered some of my men to go and buy him good topsoil, fertiliser and other gardening tools for him and his family."
The four of them let silence fill the room. Tien and Krillin finished the rest of their meals without talking.
Yamcha
Krillin and Tien laid in the large beds beside Yamcha on both sides in the corner. He stared out the window longingly. He ran his index finger along the red metal frames of the window. He let out a deep sigh and stared at the large yellow moon in the sky.
"Phuuu~"
He scratched his x shaped scar in the moonlight and checked his nails before returning his gaze to the indigo atmosphere.
"It's nights like these that Goku used to go apeshit."
Yamcha leaned out the window with starry eyes.
"You really messed up, Yamcha. You'd rather go do your training than apologise to Bulma?" He said aloud, out and into the aether. "Dumbass…" He cursed himself. "Phone's right there." The Wolf stared longingly at the black screen from across the room.
It wasn't enough to hold his attention for long. He just returned to staring at the moon once more. His mind melted away and he thought of nothing as he glared at the yellow brilliance above him.
Ultra Instinct is the 2nd of The Three Truths. It requires that the user completely cast away all worldly thoughts and think only of what is in front of them. It is especially hard to study and master for those who use gameplans for their martial arts as it goes against the principle of strategy.
"You're not seriously suggesting that some random from Earth is going to access U.I?"
"Well if he continues on this path, who's to say?"
"Eat my ass, something like that would never happen. What if he doesn't?"
"Well, it's like the Supreme Kai of Time always says, if it's destined to happen it will and if it doesn't, don't worry about it."
"I always hated that bitch."
"Goodness, we're feisty tonight."
"Ah-hem."
Raditz
"296…"
"601!"
"Damn it, Kakarot. How are you just eating this shit up like it's no problem?"
It was clearly a problem, Goku was sweating up a storm.
"Ehe-heh-heh-haugh!" He laughed out dumbly. "I mean it's probably all that hair slowing you down. 602!"
"Ergh." Raditz struggled and pumped up to the top position. "Dah! 297!"
Goku stopped for a moment and peeled off his sky blue top, he also kicked away his shoes to boot.
"Mph!" Goku squealed out as he got into position. "603!"
"Dah! 298!" Raditz was teetering back and forth, shaking wildly.
"604! Phu! 605!"
"Damn it all! 299!"
"606!"
"Three hundred!" He roared out before collapsing on the grass.
"607! 608! 6-0-niiiiiiiiine… 610!" Goku plopped onto the grass as well and looked up at the pink sky above. "Wheeeeeew!"
Goku laughed loudly and tapped Raditz on the shoulder.
"I mean… he didn't… say we haf… to do em' all in one go."
"Good thinking, brother."
King Kai walked out onto the lawn with a glass of orange liquid.
"Where are we at, boys?"
"Six hundred and ten!" Goku responded cheerfully.
Raditz looked to his brother with a grimace. Kakarot just smiled.
"Dah… three hundred."
"Hmmm. Slurrrrrrrrrr. Probably the hair. Compared to Earth gravity that stuff's probably adding an extra 200 pounds. That's a lotta hair." The kai strutted off, taking slow sips of his drink as he fixed his shades.
"Come on Raditz! We gotta get these reps done quick if we want to get our second chance!"
The older brother just groaned in response, turning over with slow movements.
"I'll do extra until we both get done."
"Oh I am not letting you humiliate me like that."
"Huh? Humiliate you? 611!"
"Forget it…"
"612! 613!"
"301!"
"614!"
"3-0-2!"
"615!"
"303!"
Goku looked to his brother with admiration, he had a wide open smile at his progress.
Goku remembers the training with Krillin all the way back when he was 12 years old. They delivered milk, swam through shark infested waters, outran dinosaurs, and moved mountains. A deep wave of nostalgia hit him hard and he couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, Raditz."
"Hmmm?"
