Notice: You may see that throughout the story, if things happen to line up with the manga, that I skip them. Then again, as the story progresses, there will be less that lines up with the manga, and therefor less that I skip. This is just to help me get the story up and going.
Assume any off screen action is about the same that happened sin the manga.

Chapter 6: The Set Up ~-.-~Dragon Ball Saga

Yamcha woke up, in the bed. His body was still a bit sore, but his internal alarm clock went off, telling him it was time for something important. Sitting up carefully he avoided injury, but smelled perfume. Bulma must have come to check on me. I'll have to thank her for that later. He looked at the clock, 4 o'clock So I slept for a good 6 hours. We should be getting close soon. Man, I'm hungry; I should get something to eat.

And so he did.

When he got downstairs he saw Bulma in a bunny suit. Well, that's going according to plan, but how did it happen? I was pretty sure her clothing was in the wash.

After asking her about this, she instantly got mad and pointed at the pig. "If SOMEONE didn't break the washing machine, I would have other cloths to wear!"

"Hey, I told you I was sorry several times! But it wasn't me! The Axis on the machine was completely off and it jammed, it was fine before your clothing went in!" Oolong yelled behind him, over the sound of the car he was driving.

"Well if it wasn't you, who could it have been!?"

Whoops, that was me. Yamcha thought. It might have rocked when I exploded the Ki close to the car. Well, if I don't tell her, I won't have trouble. This is how their life is supposed to go anyways. Now where is all the food?
Getting out a plate and towering the few food related items they still had in the car on it; he sat down at the table and started to eat the things that he could eat cold. He would heat the rest later, after he had food in his belly and felt better. Between mouthfuls, he was able to say "So Bufma, whem are we goig to be teir?" (So Bulma, when are we going to be there?)

"At the rate we are going, about 30 minutes, why?"

He looked outside and dropped his fork. No one else knew where to look, but when he looked straight up over the horizon, he saw smoke. Nothing but thick black smoke. We are so close! But Master Roshi and the Ox-King have never seen me before this! I need to grab Pu'ar and leave, where is he? "Hey, Bulma, do you know where Pu'ar is?"

"Wasn't he sleeping next to you in bed? He was tired and worried about everything and wanted to take a nap with you"

Bulma had 2 thoughts about what she just said. One, pure and innocent. And he needed the sleep. The little guy has been through so much trauma lately. The second one was a complete polar opposite thought. Though I wish it was me sleeping with Yamcha instead of the cat.

She immediately pushed the second thought out of her head by literally shaking her head. I shouldn't be thinking of this now, we still need to get the rest of the dragon balls! Yamcha is only here for Goku, I'll need the dragon balls to make him, or someone better, be mine.

Yamcha was already downstairs with the sleeping cat in his arms "Hey, me and him have to leave now, ok? We will meet up with you soon. Oh, and if you need us to show up when we aren't around, use this."

She took the Capsule that he tosses and looked at it. Nothing strange about it. I wonder what is inside. Looking up from the capsule, she saw that he was already gone. She ran to the door and looked out, just in time to see a car speeding away off in the distance. Uch, why does he have to leave now? We are almost at the mountain; we could have used his help!

And how did he leave, we are still moving!

She went to put the capsule in her pocket, but when she searched for it, there was no pocket to be found. That's right; Oolong broke the washing machine!

She started to walk over towards the driver's seat to go 'release her anger' on the poor pig.

She was somewhere around here, right? thought Yamcha, as he was driving towards where he remembered Chichi being. What landmarks were around when I saw her last? THUMP, THUMP, THUMP! That's right, the T-rex.

He watched the head fall off of it while he procceded to walk through the bushes. He told Pu'ar to stay behind, and suppressed his own power level. His plan was to get close enough, raise his power level and then dodge the attack. He has done it a hundred times before, over a thousand times in total if you count sparing. And that is what he did.

After raising his power, he was noticed from behind by the girl. Chichi threw her head boomerang out of desperation, which he of dodged of course, and was about to go for her lasers when Yamcha removed her advanced helmet.

The poor girl couldn't even see him. He moved too fast, to her it was almost like he teleported. Only he knew what happened, not even Pu'ar has seen him move that fast before. The only time that body has ever moved that fast is when Pu'ar was knocked unconscious by the ground and Yamcha had to use most of his Ki to get there. This was effortless in comparison. Well, it seems I gained a nice little Zenkai or 2.* He himself almost couldn't believe how fast he was. It's too bad he got them now, but he learned that sometimes it's worth it to get Zenkai's early on, then intense training will only help increase your power from there.

Back in the present, he took the head gear in his hands and bounded back, away from her and the dinosaur. "Stop it Chichi!"

"AH! How do you know my name?!"

"I know a lot of things. For instance, I am not your enemy. I am just the messenger. Also know about your future. You will have to wait with me here for now, but if you do, your future husband will show up. Do you understand?"

The young girl stood wide eyed, almost in disbelief. But to the present, the only person she ever was able to talk to was her dad, who would never lie to her. She didn't understand the concept of lying, so she thought this must be what happened, and accepted it. Chichi then nodded her head and confirmed it with a "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. It is going to take him a while to get here though; I will explain it all to you once I can sit with you and talk. I also have a friend, he will come with us, ok?

"What is he like? And is he my future husband?" the girl asked, curiously

"He is cute, small, and my best friend. And no, he isn't in anyway like your husband." Yamcha replied, and then called out "HEY, PU'AR, COME OUT HERE!"

The cat floated out of the bushes towards Yamcha and they both made their way over to the Ox king's daughter.

"DAWW, HE IS ADORIBLE!"

"Yes he is, now we wait a bit. But before we talk, have a couple of rules you both need to promise to keep. Number one, neither of you can talk about what I'm about to say, ok?" He got 2 nods.

"Number 2, you" He said, pointing to Chichi "are going to have to make him" he continued, pointing over to where he felt Goku "promise to marry you. Sounds good?" Another nod.

"Sweet. Ok, now about your husband. This is where you both have to really promise not to talk about." He got another 2 nods. "He will be the strongest person on earth, even though I am stronger than him now. He will save us from bad guys over and over and over again. Also, I agreed to be his trainer for a while so he can develop his strength and skill. That is all I can tell you now. Any questions?"

"Yes… um…" she started, looking at him questionitivly.

"Oh, yes, sorry, my name is Yamcha. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, yes, nice to meet you to!" She said, bowing "So Yamcha, how do you know all this?" the young girl wondered.

"I'm from the future"

"… ok." She said.

Pu'ar looked on in disbelief. Another person plainly accepting that his closest friend, who he knew much better than his own brother, was from the future. The only explanation would be…

"Yamcha, you mean that she is going to end up with Goku?" The little cat said. Sure, their personalities are somewhat similar, but they are both so young!

"Yep, it will happen. Not now though."

"Who is this Goku?" she said, questioning Yamcha.

"Probably the greatest person you will ever meet" He said, smiling the old man's smile.

Chichi looked at him in admiration. This person has been through so much, even though he only looks a couple years older than me. Maybe I can learn some things from him. She thought, getting most of the detail's right with her woman's intuition.

Yamcha suddenly stood up straighter and turned, looking over to where the mountain is, and closed his eyes. "He is coming, and will be here in a couple of minutes." he looked over at the girl, who was still standing and looking at him. "Put this back on, and get his attention when he comes. He will be flying on top of a cloud, looking for you." He said as he tossed her helmet back at her. "Come on Pu'ar, let's go!"

He lowered his power level, got back into the car, and drove back to the mountain, avoiding any path that would make him pass by Goku.

The first to notice him was the Ox King, but he was still too far away to hear what was being said between him and Bulma. By the time he got there, the big man's power was back down to resting levels instead of what it was when he first noticed the oncoming vehicle. "So you are Goku's trainer, the man from the future, ehh?"

"Sir, It is an honor to meet you. And yes, I am Goku's trainer until Master Roshi takes him in, then I will train with him as his equal."

"Wait a second, you mean to tell me that master Roshi really is a great man?" Bulma wondered out loud, with some disbelief. There was no way the old pervert was stronger then Yamcha.

"You doubt my master!?" Roshi's original student asked.

"Bulma, I'm almost completely certain that right now, Roshi is the 3rd strongest being on the planet right now. The only people stronger than him are Kami, and Kami's servant." Yamcha explains.

"So you really are from the future." The big guy said "Well if you personally know Kami, then I am underneath you."

"No, not yet you aren't. You're still a good 4 times stronger than me; I would most likely lose to you in a battle"

"'Most likely', ehh? Let's test this now. Come on, I want to see what the future boy is capable of." Chichi's dad said, subconsciously raising his power as he shifted into his battle stance.

Bulma started to shake; one of the strongest people on earth was challenging Yamcha, the guy she really likes! This was bad beyond bad. She could almost feel the energy pouring off the big guy, and Yamcha was still so small and so young! Why did the good always die young?

Yamcha looked the big guy deep in the eyes and then smiled a different smile than usual. This one was crazy, but refined. To Bulma, it almost looked liked a wolf baring his fangs. This snapped her out of her daze as ran back behind some rubble "He should be fine, he is strong too! He won't get hurt too badly, I hope…"

"Who won't get hurt?" Oolong said as Bulma passed him "What happening, and why is the scaredy cat on your head?"

And so he was, between her 2 rabbit ears, with his little hands over his eyes "Yawmchwa is bein scawy (Yamcha is being scary)" he whimpered through his scared little sobs.

Oolong understood, said nothing, and braced himself behind the rock he was hiding behind. He was originally going to run away, but Yamcha is here now. The ex-bandit could sense where he was and what he was thinking. Well, I guess I can't run now… I might as well stay with Bulma and the cat, maybe he might think better of me if he thinks I'm protecting them.

Yamcha quickly powered himself up while gauging the situation. He has a lot of power but bad control over it. It's seeping out of his body, coming from everywhere. Not only that, but he is a big guy. Sure, he is about 3-4 times stronger than me, but he can't be that much faster.

That's what he thought, until he felt the surging power behind him. Turning around as quick as he could, he tried to find the incoming attack and block it with an open palm. He knew he couldn't block it, but rolling with it will allow him to get some time. It was a right cross. Poorly executed and slower than it should have been, Yamcha was able to push it a bit to his left while he moved right. He is too fast for me. It is probably due to the weight training that he did back in the day with Roshi. His technique isn't good though, he never fully developed it. And he is big; I can easily land a blow on him. But even if I do, regular attacks would not be enough to hurt him. I would have to concentrate my Ki and strike him with either a Ki enhanced attack or a full out Ki attack. I don't even know if I can use a Kamehameha. I have enough energy, but I'm not sure if my body can control it. Kaioken is way out of the question; I'm not going to even attempt that until I'm at least stronger then Roshi. So a Ki enhanced attack. Now should I go for a punch, a hand sword, or a finger sword? Na, I shouldn't do any of those, they aren't my moves. I'll do one of my own creations.

And so he did. He waited until the big guy attacked again. It was another behind-the-back attack that he was able to pull off with his speed. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. He ducked under the punch and then he put all his Ki in his hand and finger tips. He spun on the ball of his foot, than he put his other foot behind him. He rocketed off of that foot straight into the Ox King's side and dug his fingers into his armor. The thrill was exhilarating, he loved the challenge. The danger, the thrill, the fight. The ability to cause pain and to take it. He was a hunter, a wolf. And he just sunk his teeth into some tasty Ox.

The blood spray snapped him back into reality as it splashed onto his cheek. That wasn't supposed to happen. He pulled his fingers out of the holes he made in the flesh, looking down at his red palm. What just happened? I was just supposed to leave a scratch, break his armor; I was going to drag my hand down, I would not have hurt him. Why did I just go straight in, what happened to me?

He was looking down at his hand, still stuck in the Wolf Fang Fist position. He clasped his other hand around his wrist of the bloodied hand as if to control it. He looked down at it, feeling true fear for the first time since Pu'ar died. He didn't fully understand what happened, and he couldn't stop it. He was so in his own world that he couldn't hear or see the Ox King fall on his back to the ground, bouncing once before settling down, crying out in pain all the way.

He also didn't see the huge hand trying to hold the wounds closed, which it couldn't do because the armor was in the way. The hand was able to rip the armor off of the spot in-between the 5 holes, but it still couldn't get any pressure on the wounds. Its fingers were too fat. The Ox King yelled for help, and Bulma came over with the cat still hiding between her ears. Pu'ar finally took his hands off his eyes. The first thing he saw was the horrified look plastered on Yamcha's face, the second thing he saw was that Yamcha's hand was covered with blood. Sure, he has seen Yamcha get bloodied before, but this was worse than ever before! He went back to covering his eyes and trying to think of happier times and happier thoughts.

Bulma was trying to wrap the wound with some cloth she ripped off of the big guy, but the armor would take a while to get off without any help. She looked around for help, Oolong was nowhere in sight, like usual. The only person there was Yamcha. She was a bit weary of the blood that was covering him and the look on his face, but nothing truthfully scared her. She shouted at Yamcha, but that did little to get his attention. She shouted again "YAMCHA, GET OVER HERE!" Still, it seems like he didn't even notice. She finally got up, ran over to him, and open hand smacked him right in the face. "YAMCHA, SNAP OUT OF IT! WE NEED YOU NOW." She looked at him, still captured by his bloodied hand. He was shaking and still looked like he was the one who got hurt. "I need you," she whispered, scared of what just happened and what is still happening. "Please".

Yamcha finally returned to reality hearing Bulma say that. He looked around, and then saw the Ox King. He was still lying down and there was a hole in the side of his armor. Blood was leaking out and making a puddle on the ground under him, which quickly dried up because of the heat from the mountain. The ground was starting to stain red, and nothing can get it out now.

He looked, and his mind raced. What can I do? To him, it doesn't even matter that he caused it. Not yet. He instinctively went through the phases he spent years teaching to his troops. 1: determine the situation. Someone was bleeding out.

2: Any immediate danger? No.

3: If no, then assess self. This is the strange part, he had tons of energy charged throughout his body, and he didn't feel any Anti-Ki or fatigued from the fight earlier.

4: What can you do? Originally, he thought healing wouldn't be an option. The amount of energy he had and lack of fatigued he felt changed that. He can do it.

So he went to work.

During the healing, the Ox King said "Well, you're full of surprises, aren't you? First, you are able to hurt me in a way only Master Roshi and Gohan are capable of, and then you are able to heal me. If you promise not to stare at your hand that long next time, I wouldn't mind having a rematch."

Yamcha still didn't know what to say. He hasn't said anything since he almost killed the big guy. He had no idea what happened to him. He couldn't control himself for that one second when he attacked. It was like he was sitting shotgun in his own body, unable to do anything. The weirdest part was the random Ki surge he had. It is so much easier to look back and figure out what happened then in the moment. The Ki came from inside him and spread throughout his whole body, until he couldn't contain and control any more. And even when he used it, it immediately replenished. This has never happened before, not even in the other universe.

Something was wrong.

And there is a good chance that Kami knows what it is.

*For those of you who don't know, a Zenkai is an increase in power level that happens when a Saiyan gets extremely beaten and almost at the doors of death, and then survives. This is a permanent power increase, and can range anywhere from slightly increasing their power level to multiplying it over 10 times.

Even though this 'only happens' in a Saiyan (or at least that is what the wiki-page said), I propose it happens in almost all beings. Saiyans just happen to get the most benefit from it, and are one of the only ones to do so and are a space fairing being, so they are the only ones that get recorded for it. Humans are very close in genetics with them (this is proven by the fertile offspring, aka Gohan) so I think that they would also get a Zenkai, pretty large in comparison to other races, but small compared to Saiyans.

Now, this is where my update comes in. I have re-thought my whole position on zenkais. They work in about the same way, giving a large powerboost that diminishes the more you rely on it, but for a completely different reason.

Each human has something like 37 trillion cells in their body. Well, not all of the cells will be the same. We have skin cells, red blood cells, brain cells, etc.
Even inside of one group, such as skin cells, there are small mutations when the cells divide.
Now, let us say that one cell divided in such a way that a mutation caused the resulting cell to produce more Ki than the original one. This cell will therefore be able to produce more defenses against attacks and damage, allowing it a greater chance to live. This cell, will therefore, will have room able to divide once the battle is over and it's none mutated brothers died out, spreading it's mutation throughout the being, literally changing the cellular makeup of that person's being.

This can happen over and over again to create a person who might still be the same on the outside, but genetically they are different from when they started.

Saiyans must have a huge chance of mutation, which would be satisfied by the huge amount of food that they can eat at a sitting. And if the mutations make the cell weaker, then it is more likely to be destroyed in the battle. Or the stress and pressure from trying to live in a place where everyone else (all the other cells) are so much stronger makes the cell die young and reproduce sparingly.

Also, the area of damage will also come into play, because the more of a being that is damages, the more area that this technique will be able to come into play.

Well, that is my explanation. And again, if you read this before the update, then you might want to re-read it, because it has just changed dramatically.

~ - . LAD . - ~

That was the update of chapter 6! I hope that the 500 word explanation of the term Zenkai was not only informative to those who did not know about it, but also enlightening for those who are familiar but not versed in the way I view it.

~-.Q AND A.-~

Q- I enjoyed this chapter. I do have a question though. When did Yamcha learn the healing technique that he demonstrated here? I don't ever remember anyone besides Dende ever having a healing ability.

A- In my story, Yamcha lived many decades after the end of Z, which gave time to learn new techniques. I partly explained how it works, and I will explain again when more of it's effects to come later, and how it is different than Dende's healing.

Q- Really awesome story! I hope you do lots more. One of my top 10 authors :D

A- Thanks! It's great to hear that!

Q- Interesting concept on Ki, also very original. So it seems that Kami is nervous on the ramifications on what could happen due to Yamcha's interference. Also I thought Goku was only a power level of 10 when he destroyed Pilaf's castle, yet here he is with a power level of 43, are you simply changing it or is it from Yamcha?

A- Thanks for the compliment! About Kami, at the moment only knows that something is wrong with Yamcha. He doesn't know exactly what, or if it even is Yamcha's fault.
About the power levels. A normal human has a power of 5. Goku, at the start of the series, is basically bullet proof for low caliber weapons, and can flip a car almost without efforts. Saying that Goku has the same power as 2 humans? A bit farfetched. And when I first started the series, I listed him around 20. His power level of 43 only appears after his fight with Yamcha, witch can be counted as training and a zenkai boost (as explained above)
(Also, according to that power level chart (which was not in the Manga and therefore non-canon) he can use a Kamehameha with a power level of 10. So any human 1/5th the power of Hercule who learns the technique could also do it… I'm sorry, that is just really unbelievable.)

Q- Good, good, it's going well! Though, I would've liked to see Yamcha keep his future status secret to everyone barring Pu'ar, but this looks fine too. Also there's a very minor mistake, in that Bulma is 16, not 14 at this point in the series. Overall, I'm enjoying the story and hope you update soon!

A- Thank you for the correction! I fixed it right away. If anyone else sees anything that is wrong with the story, please tell me! It helps me plan, and it makes the story that much better.

Q- Interesting...Yamcha's knowledge and techniques should actually keep him well ahead of Goku (in terms of combat capability) for the whole Dragonball series, and even the start of the DBZ series. Enjoying the story so far!

A- Well so far he is stronger than he has been. But for future growth, it would be wise to look at the Power level chart. It will show his true growth.
