Oh god. This is the chapter where I discuss Ki whispering. I will try to spin it a good way, so it makes sense… Please message me if you have a better idea how a technique like this would be formed.
Also, these characters are Akira Toryama's and Toie Animations. You should be watching.
Chapter 8: Bunny town ~-. .-~ Dragon Ball Saga
"Ok, I still got a lock on their power levels. They are over in that direction. They curved right here if that helps."
Yamcha had his eyes closed and was pointing almost straight ahead. He would drive if he could concentrate on Goku's power and not steer them into one of the giant mushrooms. He could also use a nice rest from the fight. He remembered that he really didn't do much, but any change, no matter how small, could upset what is destined to happen. He was worries that he caused too much change. The rabbit gang wasn't too strong, and they didn't do much to raise Goku's power level besides give him a good beating, and whatever Zenkai that came with it. Ahh! I almost got too lost in thought, I need to continuously keep tabs on where he is. Wait, did he just stop?
Unbeknown to Yamcha, the trio did stop for gas. Oolong and Goku stayed with the car while Bulma went to go abuse the fact that she was wearing bunny ears. Of course she didn't know that she was taking advantage of the poor villagers, but she did nonetheless. Yamcha did sense that Bulma left Goku's protection though, so he went to straight to her first. We are almost there… it doesn't look like anything wrong has happened yet. Thank Kami for that fact.
He was able to sense 2 foul feeling energies in the distance, heading off in the direction of the car. Great, these 2. He was able to feel them so easily because of their evilness. Evil powers grow so much easier than good ones, it's almost unfair. 'Almost' was a key word, because the good always had the help of others, and that helped ease the balance of power. Well, at least it's easy to know where they are at all times.
He also felt Bulma going back to the car, fully clothed in her new outfit. It fits her really well… Yamcha started thinking, when at the worst point he could, Pu'ar started to speak.
"Yamcha, why are we sneaking around and hiding? And isn't that Bulma over there?"
Faster than anyone could see, Yamcha turned around, grabbed the small cat and jumped on top of the closest building. Holding the little one's mouth to prevent him from yelping in surprise, Yamcha used his other had to put his fingers to his own lips to quiet the cat. "Sorry I had to be so rough" he whispered "but I can't let anyone know that we are here. There are really bad people here, and I want to make sure that the others are safe, even if it means deceiving them a bit. I know where 2 of them are, but I can't take them out until the last one arrives." Yamcha concentrated a moment. It seems Bulma stopped along the way; she is not as close to the car as she should have been. Did she notice us?
Maybe, maybe not. But she was caught walking in front of the Bunny Men as she was noticed by Goku and Oolong. "Hey, girl! Why don't you come with us for a bit?" the taller, lanky bunny member said.
Yamcha's brow furrowed a bit in thought. Wasn't she already at the car when they stumbled upon her? This is bad, I can't really remember. I guess I will just have to watch and see if everything goes the way it's planed.
Bulma spoke with defiance, completely ignoring them as she continued to walk towards Goku and Oolong. The short, fat, dark skinned one grabbed her by the shoulder and stopped her. "Well this hasn't happened in a while! So you're telling me that you have never heard of the Rabbit gang before? The most infamous gang who can get even crying babies to shut up? You must not be from around here. Let me tell you who we are."
Bulma tried pulling away. "No thank you, I don't have time to play around. HEY GOKU!"
But she couldn't pull away, try as she might. The fat bunny was much too strong for her. All of a sudden, she started to feel a bit of creeping fear. It wasn't there before because she was too confident in herself. She could always handle any situation. Hell, someone almost killed her by destroying her car, and she didn't even think about it past the day it happened. They were still traveling together, actually. But that was different, Goku had good intents. These 2… "GOKU, GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!"
The tall one upholstered his gun. "Hoh, you've got some attitude… Don't you want to live a long life?"
This is when Yamcha grabbed Pu'ar and jumped down off the roof, then used his speed to get behind the car. He thought his speed was fast enough to go unnoticed, but apparently Bulma saw him. "YAMCHA, HELP!"
Goku and Oolong looked around for him, but they couldn't find him anywhere. Good, they don't know where I am yet. And it will definitely be too hard to save Bulma now without a distraction… I know! I will Ki-Whisper to Goku and tell him that they are bad people, and to attack after I make a distraction.
~ - . LAD . - ~
The Ki-Whisper is a technique that only certainty people can use. Only people with absolute Ki control can use it. It is an advanced technique based on one Goku thought he used when he was first going Super Saiyan 3 against Buu.
He completely forgot that he yelled at Trunks to get the radar through Bibidi's Mind Melding magic, and he thought he did something like this.
By shooting a large amount of Ki out of his mouth, he thought it would make his words go farther. Simple Goku logic.
But as Gohan stated, this technique is actually effective. By protecting the vibrations with your own Ki, you can send them farther then you usually would, and help the voice penetrate solid materials. But this only helps so much.
This technique solved the problem of talking to your friends across greater distances, with the only back draw being that there was a limit on how far the voice will reach before spreading too thin. The farther away the person, the quieter the voice would sound. Also, anyone can hear it, not just the user's allies. This makes it impossible to use it to make a plan. This was the Ki-Shout, named so because shouting actually improved the area of effect.
The only reason this even came up again is because Goku needed to tell his opponent something during a sparring fight, and thought this would help send his message across.
Once Gohan learned about this, he felt that the next step to improve this technique was to make the Ki in a beam instead of just being a burst of energy, so that only the person you are talking to will hear. This makes it much more effective in battle, making it easier to talk to your friends over distances. But this had the same flaws the above had. As the distance increased, the message got quieter. This was caused by the vibrations that were escaping from the sides of the beam, so anyone standing close the beam can also hear it, but not as loud as the person on the receiving end. It also added a flaw, the beam had to be in a straight line to be most effective. The more it bent, the more vibrations would slip out. This is the Ki-Talk, because it was still necessary to be somewhat loud so the person on the end would hear, but if it was too loud then it would be easier to hear from the sides.
The Ki-Whisper, however, was easily thought up in a session with Gohan. Yamcha got pretty close with the young scientist later in life. It was impossible to be unfriendly with him unless you tried to be! They would talk about basic science principles and how to use them to improve one's techniques. Yamcha really needed to perfect everything he could to get whatever advantage they would bring, being the weakest of the original Z-Fighters left him needing to get and use any edge he could to stay on equal terms with the rest of them. So when Yamcha brought this technique up and its weaknesses, it took Gohan about 2 seconds to come up with an answer. "Well, you have the best Ki control out of everyone. So this should be easy for you to do. When making the beam, make the outside of it much denser then the inside, this will cause the vibrations to reverberate back inside. The effect is that the message you're trying to send will never get quieter, and no one else will be able to hear it unless they intercept the beam mid-way. Also, you should be able to turn the beam and move it around obstacles, making it much more suitable for battles."
Then, like always, Yamcha tried to test out Gohan's theory. It worked, of course, as he was able to ask Gohan "So, does it work?" He sent the beam out one window, around the house they were in, and through another window that leads into a different room, where it went straight to where Gohan agreed to stand. Yamcha thanked Gohan and then continued the talk, while the scientist typed out another observation of Ki and filed it with the rest of them his observations.

Yamcha whispered to Goku "Goku, this is me, Yamcha. First, I want you to pretend like you don't hear me. I have a plan. Bulma is in danger; those are bad men over there. I want you to go beat them up after I take the gun away from the one holding Bulma, ok?" Good, that was nice and simple. Maybe he will understand.
"Ok Yamcha!" Goku said out loud. Yamcha face palmed, and Oolong looked strangely at Goku. "What are you talking about, I don't see Yamcha anywhere!"
Uch, these 2 are causing a ruckus. I should really do it now. And so he did. He used his speed to make it across to where the 2 guys were holding Bulma, grabbed the gun out of the tall one's hand, then crushed it and threw it backwards, while still running, so it landed with a 'clang' in front of them and Bulma. But before it landed, he was able to slip behind a building and start watching from this new angle.
The moment the gun was in the air, Goku smiled. He was ready to fight; he hasn't done so in a while, not since Yamcha challenged him. He instantly closed the gap between him and the tall guy as if he wasn't even trying. He then punched him in the stomach, causing the tall guy to bend in half. Goku really didn't punch hard though; he used this to set up for a kick. Jumping a good 3 feet in the air, he almost knocked the guys head loose. In fact, the kick was so strong that the guy's goggles stretched 4 inches from where they were supposed to be, before coming back and smacking him back in the face.
The kick knocked him unconscious, and the goggle slap put rings around his eyes before they finally settled on his helmet. The knocked out dude looked like he was staring into Yamaha's soul, but all Yamcha saw was Goku's version of drawing on someone's face while they are asleep. He would have chuckled, but a lot of Krillin's jokes were funnier, so as Krillin once said "Man, you guys must be building up a laughter resistance or something!" Yamcha's smile broadened at the memory.
Either way, Yamcha decided to move to a different location and get closer, or maybe get back to Pu'ar, while the short man decided to let go of Bulma and pull out his gun. Goku knew exactly what this meant, so he did a simple 1, 2, and 3. 1: get out of the guys range. Aka, jump over the guy faster than he could react. 2: Upholster his own weapon of choice, aka, Nojibo, the magical growing stick. Then 3: From behind, he shoved it right up the guy's behind, effectively cutting off any resistance from him. Hehe, that's great. Yamcha thought, and then continued to go back to get Pu'ar.
Bulma felt much better now. The creeping fear was just that, nothing more. She was just so not used to the idea of fearing something that she acted like that. I have to keep my composure, nothing can happen to me while I have Goku around. Both him and Yamcha can keep me safe. I'm sure Yamcha is here too! The gun from the guys hand didn't mysteriously get wreaked, it must have been him! I even thought I saw him earlier. Ok, be cool, your protected now. "Hey, come on guys, let's go."
As they were all getting into the car, the smaller round one was able to get to his knees and pick up the radio. "E-excuse me, boss, but please come to town. There's a super strong guy here…"
To think he scared me before, look at him now! Mumbling on the floor like that, it's pretty pathetic. She thought things like this until this villager wrapped in a turban and overcoat came over and said "You guys really did it now! Don't you know what you just did?" before he ran away just like everyone else. They all went away to their houses, scrambling over one another like a bunch of mice trapped in a maze.
"I… have a bad feeling about this…" Oolong stated which sparked a reply from Bulma. "Don't worry! There isn't anything that can happen that Goku and Yamcha won't be able to take care of! And this doesn't make any sense; we beat the bad guys up! The least they could do was say thanks!"
But soon enough, the so called 'bad guys' where back on their feet. The one who got kicked in the face had trouble standing, and a really sore jaw. "Relax! I already called the boss!" the pudgy bunny man said before he turned around "Heh heh heh, it's all over for you 3! You are all going to turn into carrots and be eaten!"
The tall one turned over to the small one and said "I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for some carrot cake.
Goku stood in the back of the car, trying to understand what the last guy just said. "Kakarots?" Goku said out loud. "What's that?"
"No, what in Kami's name is a Kakarot? We were talking about CARROT CAKES, you stupid-!" He stopped talking when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He lightly hit his partner on the shoulder before pointing "Hey look, it's the Boss's car!"
"BOSS!" "HEY! WE'RE OVER HERE!"
As the car came closer, the trio wasn't really scared anymore. Well, Oolong was really the only one who was scared. Goku was confused and curious like always, and Bulma was her defiant self. The car was painted a very light pink and had a bunny's face painted on the front. Too boot, the car was also decorated with a fluffy looking bunny tail and 2 ears, right up front. Then the boss stepped out. The gang members ran over to their rabbit of a boss in a very pathetic way, talked to him for a bit and then pointed at the trio of heroes. Oolong even admitted to his false sacredness, and said out loud how week the master looked. As he was doing this, Yamcha tried to get a good read on him. 25. So Goku always was stronger than him. I'm sure it will go up a bit when he actually tries to fight, but for now he still is stronger than 5 humans. "Pu'ar, I'm going to need your skills in a while. Can I count on you?"
"Of course Yamcha!" the little cat said. Yamcha smiled, they were back as a team for now.
And at the same time, it looked like the 2 groups stopped insulting each other. This was signaled by the Rabbits jump through the air, about 25 feet (7.5 meter) distance before landing feet first in front of the good guys. Ok, power level of 30. Impressive, but what is even more impressive is his ability to turn people into carrots.
To explain how exactly he does this, we shale watch what he does. First, he puts his hand out to shake Bulma's. Then, Bulma hits his hand away in disgust and contempt. He doesn't seem to mind it, because he doesn't. This sets him up for his ability. He flexed his hands, and Bulma went "Poof" and a carrot magically appeared in her place.
The pig and the Sayain were both surprised at this feat, and looked so. The Bunny gang members just stood and laughed at their fortune, and how they are now on the winning side of the battle. Not for long, though Yamcha thought.
"YOU MONSTER!" Goku yelled at the Rabbit standing in front of him, jumping off the car to get in fighting distance. The Rabbit then proceeded to taunt him with his power, revealing how it worked to Goku, who was too simple minded to understand it from seeing it. Still cowing in the car, Oolong looked out onto Goku's Back. "Goku, use your Bo-staff!"
"Oh yea!" And then he used it.
"Wait! If you keep attacking, I'm going to eat this carrot right here!" The rabbit said, in a last attempt to save himself. It worked though, because Goku is one of those who will sacrifice himself so save others.
Goku called over to Oolong, asking him for any other ideas. The problem with that is that Oolong already left in the car. "Sayonara! This has nothing to do with me!"
While Goku was being angry at the pig, and the Rabbit gloating at Goku's lack of incompetent friends, Yamcha whispered to Pu'ar. "Soon Goku will get beat up by the 2 henchmen. When that happens, I need you to turn into a bird and steal the carrot. But do NOT touch him. I will beat up the 2 guys who are beating on Goku, and then he can use his staff to beat up the Bunny. You got it?"
"Yes sir!" And he did, for they were beating on Goku pretty badly.
The bunny was completely surprised when a simple bird had the indecency to swipe the carrot from him. But the rabbit had a simple advantage to this situation. The bird brushed me when he grabbed it. So now I'll turn him into a carrot to replace the one he stole from me! By clenching his fist, he did just that. The Bird was a carrot, and both fell only a couple of feet to the ground were they bounced before coming to a rest.
At the same time, Yamcha jumped down in a simple fashion and grabbed the back of the short one's head, pushing it straight into the ground. He then pushed off the ground, spin kicking the tall one in the same spot Goku kicked earlier. To add insult to injury… Yamcha thought, as the tall one fell over, probably unable to think due to the intense rattling of his brain. Or is it to add injury to injury… "Goku! We got Bulma back! You can go back to beating him up! Remember to use Nyoi-bo!"
"Oh, there you are!" Goku said, with only minor scratches everywhere.
"Hurry up already, and don't let him touch you!"
"All right!" The young Saiyan said, picking up his trusty staff and prepared to give a beating.
Yamcha looked around for Pu'ar. He didn't see him or feel his power level, but he did see 2 carrots on the ground. Things are already deviating from the original time line… This is bad. He didn't dwell on the thought for too long. He learned to think quickly about something negative, then to put it out of his mind. If you dwell on something negative for too long, you're bound to miss something else. That was something he thought up a long time ago.
Looking back at Goku and the boss, he saw the boss was rubbing his head and complaining about the amount of pain that was on his head. The ex-bandit walked over with the carrots and gave them over to Goku, who demanded that they be turned back into themselves. The consequence for not doing so was death.
"Ok ok, I get it!" And then the rabbit clapped his hands, and then Pu'ar appeared on top of Bulma. "Hi!" The cat said, as Bulma looked down at him on her lap "I saved you!"
As Bulma was trying to remember what just happened, Goku was tying up the rabbit gang, who themselves were worried about not being touched by their boss. "Yamcha came to help!"
"EHH? Yamcha is here!? I knew it! Where is he?"
"Huh? He must have left…" Goku said, before he noticed Pu'ar still on Bulma's lap. "Oh, but he left his cat here, so he must come back!"
"I AM NOT HIS CAT! I am his friend!" Pu'ar said, before going silent for a while. Well, at least that's what it looked like to everyone else. But only he and Yamcha knew differently, because the bandit was using his whisper technique.
"Hey buddy. Listen, you have to go with them for a while, I'll follow from behind. I'll meet up with you guys soon, ok?"
"Ok Yamcha!" Pu'ar said, while Bulma and Oolong looked at him curiously. Goku got bored, and decided that the bunny men should be placed on the moon. "So I'm going to have to stay with you guys for a while, it that ok? Yamcha will come be with us later."
"Sure!" Bulma said, excited that Yamcha would be with her later. "But are you sure he can't be here now?"
Oolong protested a bit, but in the end Bulma won out, like always. Then she noticed. "Hey, where did Goku go?" And then she noticed everyone looking behind her and cheering. So she looked back, and there was the Saiyan kid, sliding down on his really long pole. "Where did you go?" she asked.
"I just took the rabbits to the moon!"
"Eh?" Bulma asked, and looked up. She couldn't see it, but all 3 rabbits were up there. And they were making mochi, just like the old legend said.
~-.Q AND A.-~
Q - Nice chap mate, I'll look forward to the next one. Btw, how many chapters are you planning to make?
A – EDIT: Well, 15 are done now. And I am in the process of editing them all. I would really like to continue until at least Dragon Ball is finished, and I have so much planed for DBZ.
DBGT will not be in this… well, its still a long ways away, but I am almost sure that it won't. Elements will be in it, like some enemies, and SSJ4. But it will be far different then what it is in GT.
Q - Roshi actually training this is rarely touched on material! Looking forward to seeing how this shapes up.
A – Thank you, I try to please the crowd. *bows* I found that Roshi is mostly overlooked, but he does have a high power level for a human, and a better concept of how it works then Frieza's basic henchmen, who have more power (about 500) but cannot use it at all, so they need the cannons on their arms that allows them to use energy. But even though he can use it better than them, he has always been clueless on exactly how it worked. He just knows All right, this seems to work. Now how can I change it for the better? But then he doesn't understand he could do things like compound the wave, or keep more of it from leaking out. Even if he does understand it, his control isn't that good.
Q -This is kind of a silly question, but do you plan to do a pairing?
A – Umm… I don't understand. You mean like character pairing? If so, then of course! Trunks cannot come back from the future if he isn't born! But then again, he might not be the same Trunks we know and love. Or maybe it will.
Q - Great Fic, can't wait for the new chapters to be out. Hopefully Yamcha won't screw up the timeline, but I'm not counting on it. My prediction is that the Z Fighters will be really OP through the Frieza Saga, but by the Fusion Saga-GT, they will have become overconfident, lazy, and weak.
A – Thanks for the post and support! Next is your prediction. Well, that's all good and all, but that's a long way away. Something has to and will go wrong, that is just a law of nature. Murphies law, I think. And btw, I'm not doing GT how GT did GT. And I know one thing. Yamcha will never get lazy. Right Yamcha?
Y - … No promises. I do plan on getting married you know.
A – Well… Um… I guess he might get lazy then. But who knows what will happen by then?
