Chapter 16

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ because if I did I wouldn't waste my time on a fanfic, it would still be on TV.

Gonjin fell back onto his mattress and stared up at the ceiling. After the introductions had been completed the four were shown to the rooms in which they would stay until the whole mess was sorted out. Were aliens, he thought wonderingly, but then again not so much since most humans were less than half human. And meeting my ancestors, some even looked like me.

He laid there, wrapped in his own thoughts, until a knock at the door brought him to his senses. He jumped up happily, wondering who it could be. He opened the door and Goku's descending fist slammed into his head.

"YOW!" Goku yelled as he shook his hand back and forth as if to ease the pain while Gonjin sat down hard, his head ringing. They, being Saiyans, recovered quickly, and Goku got to the point of his visit.

"Hey, Gonjin," he said cheerily, "we all just wanted to know if you wanted to come and train with us. Your friends are already waiting."

"Sure," Gonjin stated with equal cheer, and the two set out toward the training grounds.

Master Roshi stalked angrily up to the desk with the giant red ogre behind it. Yemma did not seem to have noticed him yet. That was fine because he wanted to fume a little more. Apparently the planet Kudor had been struck by a large comet and out of one point two trillion inhabitants, none had survived. Luckily, he had appeared mid strike and had only had to wait for six billion of the little souls to be judged. And to make matters worse, Yemma had posted guards all along the pathway, and those imbeciles wouldn't let him pass even though he had told them that he had had urgent business to take care of.

Finally the "great" King Yemma looked down and jerked in surprise, "Why, Master Roshi, what a surprise. Are you just here for a visit or are you dead this time?"

"Nope," Roshi replied in a level voice, "just a visit, I don't plan on dieing any time soon."

"Well then, would you like to be the first to try out our new teleporter system. That Bulma woman is a wonder with mechanics, I'm extremely glad that we allowed her and Chichi to join the others on the Grand Kai's planet. That Chichi whipped all of our cooks into shape and now all of our meals are first class." The king's smile only faded after he had set a small, skinny, blue-green ogre to guide him to the transport room, and he had to turn back to the flow of the dead from planet Kudor.

The ogre led him to a small room with identical glowing white disks on the ceiling and floor.

"Please step into the middle of the platform, sir," the ogre said in a raspy voice.

He did so and immediately the room flickered and then solidified again, only without the ogre and the entry, instead of revealing a hallway, showed the peaceful green of a meadow. He stepped out of the room and found that he was right next to the Grand Kai's Palace. He smiled as he sensed the rather weakened energies of his pupils near his old friends' energies, he had been correct after all, and they had been training.

He immediately placed his index and middle finger on his forehead and disappeared with a slight woosh.

Gonjin managed to dodge yet another punch before Goku's follow up kick sent him flying down out of the sky and into the ground in a explosion of dirt and debris. He vainly tried to push himself up out of the rubble but fell back down again and closed his eyes. He should have realized that since they had been training for two thousand years that they would be stronger than him and his friends, but he would have never imagined that they would have been this much stronger.

He opened his eyes again to see Goku standing over him with his hand held out. He used his last strength to grab on and Goku pulled him up out of the crater and supported him as they walked over to where his friends were already resting. He was the last one to finish. Veisen had been the first, fighting Goten, Vegiren the second after fighting Vegeta, and Toryu third after fighting Gohan. He believed that Vegiren would have lasted at least as long as him if he had not been paired up with Vegeta. He was ruthless and barely had held back at all while he was pounding Vegiren into he ground. The reason that they had lasted so long in the first place had surprised their opponents. They called it Super Saiyan. It was the same power-up he had done to power the machine that brought them here in the first place. After Gonjin had revealed that he could do it they tested the others and found that only Vegiren could also turn Super Saiyan, but Toryu and Veisen managed to come close.

He looked over at the kind Saiyan assisting him, only at one point in their battle did he manage to force him to draw on his power. What he had felt had filled him with terror and awe. It had felt as is his nearly identical ancestor was drawing on an infinite well of energy. He couldn't imagine holding so much power, but his fear and awe had changed into determination and he had set a goal, he was going to train and become as strong as his ancestor, he was going to train until he was the strongest that he could become.

Goku helped him set down against the trunk of the tree where his friends were also resting and then sat down as well. Goten, Trunks, Choutszu, Gohan, and Krillin were sitting in the tree's branches, Yamcha, Tien, Oolong, Puar, and Pan were arrayed around the tree in the grass talking, and Vegeta and Piccolo were leaning back against two different trees with their eyes closed and arms crossed on their chests.

Suddenly Gonjin heard a slight woosh and looked to his left at the same time as Veisen and Goku to see his old master striding toward them. All three leapt up and shouted happily at the same time.

"Master Roshi!"

"Master Hahn!"

"Master Daimon!"
