Just a heads up, this chapter has a lot of references to when Goku and Krillin were training with Master Roshi back in Dragonball.
"Ok boys, first things first. If we want to train seriously, we'll need more space." Master Roshi walks over to Kame house, and puts it back into capsule form.
"Ok everyone, let's all load up into Bulma's car." Master Roshi says.
"Huh? Wait, what are you talking about? Where are we going?" Bulma asks.
"Hehe, I think I know." Goku suddenly says. "Were going back to that big island that me and Krillin trained on, right?" Goku asks.
"Heh heh, yes, that we are Goku." Roshi says.
"Oh yeah, I remember that place!" Krillin says. He starts remembering the time he, Goku, Roshi, and Launch all stayed there. That was his first real training, delivering milk, swimming, dodging the bees, all these things are what made his as strong as he is. So everyone loaded up into the car, and took off.
"Alright Roshi, which way?" Bulma asks.
"Just keep heading the way your going." Master Roshi says. He just happened to be sitting next to Bulma.
"Yawn, err, I'm so tired." Master Roshi says as he stretches his arms, then outs them down. One of them just happened to land around Bulma's shoulder, and kept inching closer to her chest.
"Move it or lose it old man!" Bulma screams.
"EEK! Err, I didn't mean to, I was just, umm, ahehe..." Master Roshi laughs awkwardly. So several minutes, 2 failed groping attempts, and 2 slaps later, they all arrived at the new island. They all exited, and both Goku and Krillin had a flash back to when they first arrived.
"Wow, it looks exactly the same as when we left it!" Goku said excitedly.
"Well, almost, follow me." Roshi said. Everyone followed Roshi up a small hill, where Roshi placed Kame house.
"There, now it looks exactly the same." He said.
"Alright! This is great! I can't wait to start!" Goku said excitedly.
"Hmm, well I doubt delivering milk will be a challenge to you now that your so much stronger then you were, so we'll train a different way. For now, I need to see how far along all of you are." Roshi said. He started scanning the area.
"Ah, there we go. Goku, see that boulder over there?" Roshi asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I see it." Goku said. It was a very very large boulder, it must of weighed 10 tons at least.
"Try and pish it." Master Roshi said.
"Well, if you say so." Goku walked over to the boulder and did a few stretches, then placed his hands on it. He got ready, and shoved!
"HYA!" Goku pushed the boulder and it flew all the way across the island. Everybody's jaw's dropped.
"Woah, ahehe, I guess I don't know my own strength." Goku laughed.
"Eh, err, my my Goku, that was impressive!" Master Roshi said.
"Heh, thanks." Goku said.
"Krillin, Yamcha, why don't you to try and move those two boulder's over there." Master Roshi said while pointing to two boulder's, each equal in size to the one Goku pushed. Krillin and Yamcha, both nervous, walked over to there respective boulder's.
"Well, here goes." Krillin said. He gave a shove, and the boulder flew at least 20 yards away.
"That was pretty impressive Krillin." Master Roshi said.
"Yeah, but it didn't get half as far as Goku's." Krillin said disapointed.
"Well we can't all be Goku. Now stand aside and let me show you how a real fighter does it." Yamcha said. He placed his hands on his boulder, and shoved. The boulder moved a few feet. Everyone started giggling as Yamcha went red in his face.
"N-now just hold on! That was just practice, now I'm for real!" Yamcha said. He put his hands on the boulder again, took a deep breath, and pushed.
"RARGH!" This time the boulder did several flips and landed a few feet behind Krillins.
"Hehe, yeah you sure are a real fighter Yamcha!" Bulma laughed.
"Now don't worry Yamcha, you might not be as strong as Goku and Krillin, but you did good. And those boulder's served there purpose, I can see where each of you stand in terms of power now." Master Roshi said.
"Now there's only one person left, Gohan, lets see how far you can get that boulder to move." Master Roshi was pointing at a much smaller boulder this time, but it still looked pretty heavy.
"Huh? But Master Roshi, I don't think I can make it go nearly as far as they did." Gohan said.
"It doesn't matter how far it goes, all I want to see is how strong you are right now." Master Roshi said.
"Come on Gohan, you can do it!" Goku encouraged.
"Yeah, and I'm sure you'll do better then Yamcha did." Bulma joked. Yamcha started muttering something to himself.
"Well, ok, I'll try." Gohan said. He walked over to the 2 ton boulder and placed his hands on it.
"Come on Gohan!" Goku cheered. Gohan nodded, and started pushing.
"Huuurrrrgh." The boulder didn't move.
"RAGH!" With one final shove, Gohan ended up pushing himself onto the ground.
"I'm sorry daddy." he said. Goku rushed to his son and picked him up.
"Hey, don't be sorry, you did great! At least you tried, hey, when I was your age I wouldn't be able to move it either." Goku said.
"Alright alright, that's enough. I think I have an idea. I'm going to make a call, Goku, you take Gohan to the construction site. It's to late to do the milk run, but this should do him some good." Master Roshi said.
"Hey I'll come to!" Krillin called.
"Ok good, Yamcha, do you want to go to?" Roshi asked.
"Eh, I think I'd rather stay here and train by myself." Yamcha said.
"Ok, Goku, Krillin, go on now." Roshi said.
"Ok, see you when we get back Master Roshi." Goku said. He took Gohan in his arms and walked off with Krillin.
Later
Goku had made his way to the old construction site that he and Krillin worked on when they were kids. He explained to foreman what was going on, and he was happy to let Gohan work as a favor to Master Roshi. Goku had explained to Gohan what each tool did, and what his job was, then sat back with Krillin and watched.
"Well, he's trying at least." Krillin said as Gohan struggled to bring up a shovel full of dirt. He was trying to scoop it all into a wheelbarrel.
"Don't worry about it, he'll get the hang of it." Goku said.
"Hey Goku, what do you say we pitch in to? It'll be just likeold times." Krillin said.
"Heh, yeah sure, why not!" Goku said happily. So the two happily jumped in and started working, they were faster then the machines! Wheelbarrel after wheelbarrel, pick axe after pick axe, it truly was a sight to see. After less then a half hour, the two had done all the work that was supposed to take an entire day!
"Whew, that was fun!" Goku said as he dumped his last pile of dirt.
"Heh heh, yeah, just like old times." Krillin said as he to finished. Goku turned around, and saw something he thought he would never see. He instantly smiled at the sight of Gohan, holding a wheelbarrel of coming towards Goku.
"Gohan!" Goku called.
"Huh? Yeah daddy?" Gohan grunted. It was hard work moving that pile of dirt, but Gohan was determined. He made his way towards his father, and dumped his first pile.
"Pant, pant, pant." Gohan took a break.
"Gohan you did it! I'm so proud of you." Goku said.
"Hehe, thanks daddy." Gohan said.
"Pretty soon you'll be strong enough to throw that boulder into the middle of the ocean!" Goku said. Gohan gave a chuckle, and continued panting. It was a hard day of work for a 4 year old, but he did it, and he was proud of himself.
