Chapter 13 - Bulma/Kassava (one Earth day later)

Bulma

Luckily, the last three Dragon Balls are here in Japan. I am now with Bianca's mother, Mrs. Been, in search for the last three Dragon Balls. She agreed to go with me and she'll also fight for me when any monster comes in our way. Dr. Lauren Lee is still in the hospital with Mr. Lee while he is still recovering; my parents are at home.

"Is this what one of the Dragon Balls look like?" Mrs. Been asks me.

"Yes! That's it! Now we have to find two more," I say excitedly.

Mrs. Been smiles at me and says, "I can't wait to see Bianca again."

"Me neither, Mrs. Been," I say, smiling back.

We put one of the Dragon Balls in a brown bag and then, we get back on the motorcycle.

I have my radar in one hand and then I push the button for the remaining Dragon Balls to be located. One is much farther than the other one.

I keep driving until we are near the nearest Dragon Ball. We get off and then we start searching very intently, from the bushes to the different grass areas.

While we are searching, we feel the ground shaking and then, we both turn to see a huge dinosaur.

"AHHHH!" I scream in fear.

"Bulma, hide. I'll take the dinosaur on," Mrs. Been says to me.

"Okay," I reply, running to the nearest hiding spot, which was in one of the caves.

I am in great fear right now. That dinosaur could have killed us! I watch the action from the hiding spot. I see Mrs. Been fire up a great amount of ki before she blasts it to the dinosaur. The dinosaur falls down on the ground and I now feel very relieved.

I run up to Mrs. Been, hugging her, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Mrs. Been!"

"Of course! I'm always here to help!" Mrs. Been replies, smiling at me.

Kassava

I realized earlier that I could have flown all the way to the end of the path. When I see a deserted planet with a house and a car, I think to myself, Is that where King Kai is? If it is, then I actually made it through Snake Way really quickly!

I jump on the planet and then I stand there, waiting until I see a short, blue man. He is watering his flowers and after he finishes, he sees that I am here and then he says, "Hello, were you looking for me?"

"Yes, sir," I reply, "Are you King Kai?"

"Yes, I am. And who are you?"

"My name is Kassava and I am here to train under you," I reply.

"Train under me? Well, first, you have to pass this one test, but I'm not sure if you can pass it since you don't seem like that type of person." Is he doubting me? I keep my anger to myself, however.

"I can do whatever it is you want me to do," I say, not angrily.

"Okay. The test is that... you have to make me laugh." Wait, what? I can't fool around. I need to learn how to fight.

"Now I know what you're thinking. Why should you do this first? Well, everyone should be able to have a good sense of humor," King Kai continues. Well, that's true, but not everyone is that kind of person. I just go along with it, hoping that I can learn how to fight. I nod my head, now trying to come up with a joke or anything to make him laugh.

I do make people laugh, but I'm not a full-time comedian or anything like that. Oh, I got two jokes on my mind now!

"Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?" I start making the first joke.

"Why?" King Kai asks.

"Because it had no guts," I reply.

King Kai starts to laugh. That's a really good sign.

"A man goes to play golf. He takes his golf clubs and two pairs of pants. Why did he take an extra pair of pants?" I ask.

"Why did he take an extra pair of pants?" King Kai asks, waiting for the answer.

"He takes an extra pair of pants just in case he gets... a hole-in-one."

King Kai starts laughing some more. I see him laying on the grass, laughing really hard while he keeps punching the grass. I laugh too, joining along with the laughter.

When King Kai stops laughing, he gets up and he wipes away one of his tears from laughter.

"He he, I was completely wrong about you, Kassava. You are a real comedian," King Kai says, "Remind me to tell you some jokes when we have free time."

"Alright," I reply, smiling at him.

"Alright, so you got the speed under control and you fight really well. Now, I will teach you how to do the Kaio-ken and then, the Spirit Bomb. Sounds good?"

"Oh yeah," I reply, nodding my head. King Kai had me chase two of his pets, Bubbles and Gregory, since he was seeing how fast I can run and get them. Well, for Bubbles, I had to catch him and for Gregory, I had to whack him. King Kai and I were then sparring with each other; he also taught me a lot fighting techniques.

"Alright, so with the Kaio-ken, everything such as your power level, your strength, your senses, and your speed can increase dramatically. However, your body will be more and more vulnerable as you multiple the power of the Kaio-ken unless you train more and more, so you better be extremely careful."

"Okay," I reply, taking notes in my head.

"Alright, so it goes like this: Kaio-ken!" King Kai says before the red aura shows up around him, "Then if you want to have more power to defeat your enemies, you do this: Kaio-ken times two! And then you can also say times three and so on and so forth." King Kai goes back to the normal state after that.

"Okay," I say, before I bend my knees and make two fists to concentrate, "Kaio-ken!"

"You did it! Now try to run around the planet with the Kaio-ken."

I notice that my senses got sharper, like King Kai said. I see the red aura around my arms and before I can celebrate this, I calm myself down before running around the planet with the Kaio-ken. Wow, this is very awesome! I can run around faster than I used to. I run around the planet five times before stopping.

"Did you feel the differences?" King Kai asks me, smiling.

"Yes, it was amazing," I reply, smiling back.

"Yes, it is. Now, let's see if you can destroy this," King Kai says before levitating a big red brick-looking object. He throws it in my direction and then, when it gets close to me, I destroy it with a blast. The object is now falling into pieces and King Kai says, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, King Kai," I reply.

"Now, can you try Kaio-ken times two?"

"Sure," I say, getting into the same position as before. "Kaio-ken... times two!"

I think my senses have doubled as well as my power. I feel... unstoppable! I run around the planet with the double power, screaming, "WOOOOOO!"

I realize that King Kai is still waiting for me, so I stop right across from him after I ran around the planet eight times in probably two or three seconds.

"Sorry about that. I really love the Kaio-ken!" I say.

"No problem and thanks! I made it up myself," King Kai replies.

A/N: I am terribly sorry that I took a while on this chapter. Chapter 14 should be up soon and for all of you, I hope you all have a wonderful day! Thank you all for reading!
