Sima: YAAAYYY! STUDENTS!

Me: Calm down, Sima. That's just a Chapter name

Sima: But-

Me: NO BUTS! *sigh* anyway. I don't own Dragon Ball Z, Z Kai, GT, Super or any other DB related things. All rights belong to Akira Toriyama.

Goku had been training immensely lately, trying to hone his skills so that when Akamu comes for him, he would be ready. In many fights he let his guard down, but this fight, he didn't care about fighting stronger opponents... at least, not anymore. All the Saiyan wanted is for his subjects to be safe, and that was something he had to do.

Goku was currently practicing in the castle gardens in Ultra Instinct, hoping to control it more fluidly since he barely used it, 'Maybe I should keep it on.' Goku thought as he blasted a tree, only for it to grow back. He was about to charge another blast when he spotted the Grand Priest in the distance.

"Oh... hey Grand Priest, haven't seen you 'round the castle lately. What's up?" Goku asked, to which the Angel shrugged.

"I have been meaning to ask you about becoming a master." the Grand Priest replied, which immediately caught Goku's attention as he stopped his training.

"What, ya mean like takin' in a student?" Goku asked. The Grand Priest nodded.

"But I never trained a student before."

"It's about time you did." the Grand Priest partly cut him off, making Goku sigh. Once the Grand Priest has a goal, he would do anything to fufill it. Goku soon gave in and gave a small smile.

"Alright, Grand Priest, you win. Spread the word across the kingdom that I'm taking in students. Use the guards if you need assistance."

Goku didn't know why he agreed to this, it had been boring as hell!

Once word spread of Goku taking in students, around 100 young people had come, and none of them had potential to be his student. There was a simple task: perform your signature move.

Most students had been Saiyans, some Namekians of Universe 6 or Earthlings of Universe 2. Sometimes people would mess up their moves or would be too scared to even perform, while others had signature moves too weak or was just for show. All this craziness had lasted for two whole hours until the last person stepped up.

This Saiyan girl had dyed her hair in the all the colours of the rainbow (to which Goku found weird) and tied it up in a neat ponytail, with the black part of her hair not tied. She wore a black jacket with a pink undershirt and light-pink skirt. The girl would have been easily mistaken for an Earthling had she not have her tail flinging behind her back.

"What's your name, kid?" Goku asked. The girl gave a confident grin and laughed.

"Name's Sima, Saiyan of Universe 7!" the girl known as Sima exclaimed. Goku soon grew interested in her, having seen his younger self in her. Goku raised his hand, signalling to start her signature move. Sima smirked and cupped her hands up into the air, a white ball of ki glowing brightly in her hands. Goku soon felt a rush of energy as she screamed and the black part of her hair going golden and her eyes blue. With a loud scream she thrusted her hands forward.

"Serenity's Might!" a blast soon came to be and a loud explosion could be heard. The blast had destroyed the entire wall and the field beyond it.

Goku stood awestruck. Never in his life had he seen such a move with such power before, and this girl had created a photo finish. Goku smiled softly at Sima.

"You did great Sima! I never imagined you would have such strength. Very well... as of today, you are my student."

Sima punched the air a gave a loud 'Yes!' And whoops of joy. Goku smiled, he felt connected to the girl somehow and she had an attitude that brought back tearful memories. He hoped... that this girl would surpass all his expectations.

A few weeks later, Goku and Sima started training in the gardens in hopes of learning from each other and gain each other's skills. And over the next few weeks they began to understand each other socially, learning each others' strengths and weaknesses (Sima was quite surprised at Goku's fear of needles). The duo had just finished a bout of training and were currently walking through the gardens, admiring it's beauty.

"Say, kid." Goku asked, sitting on a bench alongside Sima in the gardens, "You're quite young, so where's your parents?" Sima soon stopped walking and looked down, her black hair covering her eyes as tears threatened to spill.

"I... I never knew my parents. Th-They abandoned me when I was born a few years before Planet Vegeta's destruction as I was branded as a failure. That's why I trained every day when our race was revived, mastering Super Saiyan 2 and beyond. I wanted to become your student so I could prove I was more than just a third-class weakling and become one of the strongest the universe had ever seen."

"I hear ya." Goku replied, ruffling her hair, "You know... you remind me of me when I was still a naïve fighter/foodie who didn't even know what 1+1 was, heck, even kissing! I wanted to be the strongest in all the universes so I dedicated my whole life to getting stronger. To be honest, I didn't think of myself as a hero of justice or anythin' but I did want to prove to all the gods that I was the strongest. My advice to you would be to never give up and push yourself even further beyond."

Sima looked up with tear-filled eyes as she, for their first time since starting the training, wrapped her arms around her teacher as she cried. Goku was shocked at the motion, but soon shook out of his stupor as he hugged the girl back. This lasted a few minutes until she soon fell asleep in his strong arms, her tail wrapped around the older Saiyan. Goku smiled at Sima, materialising a blanket and covering her with it.

"You really are somethin' special kid." Goku said to Sima, who stirred slightly as she looked up weakly, "You know, me an' Chi-Chi never had a daughter before, but... if we did, I would want her to be just like you."

Sima was slightly amazed at his words, but soon laid her head on his lap a muttered a few simple words that melted the Saiyan's heart.

"Thank you... Daddy."

Meanwhile, a worried King Yemma was looking at his paperwork that was suddenly bestowed upon him as he tapped his large pencil onto his desk.

"What am I to do about this?"

What was his worry you ask? Well, multiple occurrences of weakened warriors in HFIL have been recorded on this sheet, and they all had one thing in common: a black beast absorbed their energies.

"Seems I have to bring out some people in case more damage be wrought, but the question is: who?" King Yemma looked down at his list of dead and saw two who were extremely dangerous, yet had been good doggies for quite some time. The Judge of the Dead gave a groan as he signalled to two Oni who went straight to work to find the two of the most dangerous people in Universe 7.

Frieza and Cell

Sima: Aw man! Why do me and Goku have to be such heart melters!

Me: Hey, just so you know, this was YOUR idea Sima for Goku to have a father-like relationship with you. Not mine.

Sima: Well, at least you wrote it.

Me: By the way, someone new will also be in the Author's Note. Don't worry, just because Sima is in the story, that doesn't mean that she won't still be here. Thanks, and as always...

Both: Read and Review!
