Chapter 8
Tien brought up his face from the ground once again and turned his gaze towards the object of his torture for the past month. Bubbles just did his monkey dance as the former assassin sneered at the monkey who was mocking him. Tien growled at the monkey as he stood up and then feinted like he was going after the monkey again. Bubbles howled and then took off trying to escape from the triclops. Tien just smirked and then sat down to mediate.
The monkey called Bubbles had been eluding him for the past 35 days, yes he had been counting. It was infuriating. He had already adjusted to the gravity on King Kai's planet and he was back to being able to move normally and yet the monkey continued to remain at of his grasp. This had never happened to him before. As an assassin, his prey had never been able to evade him before and even though he had decided to give up that line of work he still prided himself in being able to catch anything he set his sights on, even the other warriors. But this monkey was just simply faster than him. It seemed to be able to change directions in a 90 degree turn in a nanosecond. Tien simply had to realize that he was not going to be able to catch this prey simply by relying on his speed alone. He was going to have to outsmart the primate.
But how? That was the question Tien was mediating on at the moment. What techniques did he have that could allow him to get the edge on the monkey. He had already tried using one of his older techniques called the Four Witches Technique, where two more arms sprouted out of his shoulder blades. The technique had caught the primate by surprise but the monkey had still been able to evade all four of his grasping hands. He had even tried using the Solar Flare to try and blind the monkey, but the primate had hidden underneath King Kai's car when Tien had used it so the former assassin hadn't been able to see his prey. When Tien had finally found the monkey again and tried the Solar Flare again, it had stolen King Kai's sunglasses so all Tien accomplished was blinding King Kai.
As Tien sat there mediating, the triclops had a sudden realization. Of course why hadn't he thought of it before! Sure he would be giving up some of his speed, but he would be able to make up for that by use of deception and anticipation. Tien stood up and crossed his arms in front of chest, making an X with his forearms. A golden glow surrounded the fighter from Earth and two other, identical bodies appeared to the left and right of Tien. After a few seconds, the golden glow dissipated from the three bodies and the three Tiens stood up straight.
"Oh yes, this is going to be fun," they all said at once.

Bubbles was sitting underneath the lone tree on King Kai's planet eating an apple. It was one of the first breaks he had gotten for almost a month now since that three eyed fighter was constantly chasing him around the planet. Bubbles had to admit that the triclops was persistent and Bubbles had been unable to get hardly any rest since the fighter didn't seem to have to sleep. Maybe that was because of that weird golden circle over his head. Bubbles didn't really care, it had been eons since he had this much fun.
The brown monkey finished his apple and threw the core behind his head. In a flash the three eyed fighter was in front of the brown monkey. Bubbles was surprised, he hadn't even heard the triclops approaching. Bubbles, with a screech, sped off to his right. He knew that the three eyed fighter was almost as fast as him, but Bubbles knew that he had a slight edge in that department but he still stole a glance behind him and saw that he couldn't see the triclops anywhere behind him. Bubbles turned his head back around, and then came to an abrupt halt. Standing a foot in front of him, with a cocky smirk on his face, was the three eyed fighter!
Bubbles yelped and then quickly changed directions and went 90 degrees to his left. How had the fighter gotten in front of him? There was no way the triclops had gotten that fast! Bubbles again looked behind him and saw that the three eyed fighter was still standing in the same spot with all three eyes closed and that smirk still on his face. Why isn't he chasing me? Has he given up? Is he just trying to confuse me? All these questions were going through Bubbles mind when he ran into something.
The monkey shook his head. There wasn't supposed to be anything over here that he could run into. Bubbles brought his head up and looked at the green, fighting pants and then moved his eyes up to the well muscled back and then to the back of a bald head. The three eyed fighter turned his head to look at what had hit him and the smiled when he saw the monkey laying on the ground staring up at him in shock.
With another yelp, Bubbles ran as fast as he could back to the tree. The brown monkey quickly came up to the tree and acted like he was going to climb into the tree but then sped around the tree. However Bubbles stopped running when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Hey Bubbles," said the three eyed fighter as he calmly tossed a red apple up and down in his hand. Bubbles turned around and saw that the triclops was simply smiling at the monkey as he casually leaned against the trunk of the tree and tossed that apple in his hand. Had he gotten to the tree before me? The fighter saw the monkey's confused look and laughed. Bubbles ran for his life now, not caring which direction he was running in anymore.
"Hey you forgot your apple. Here catch!" Bubbles saw a red blur fly past him. The monkey followed the apples movement until it ended up the hand of the person who had thrown it in the first place. Bubbles body shook in horror as he stopped two feet in front of the three eyed fighter who was now laughing at him. The triclops brought the apple up to his mouth and took a bite and then he offered the apple to Bubbles.
"Here, I saw you weren't going to catch it so I did." Bubbles just stared at the apple as the three eyed fighter began to laugh once again. Bubbles was so focused on the apple and how the three eyed fighter had outran him to catch something he had thrown himself that he didn't even notice the two figures fast approaching him from behind. With skill only a former assassin could accomplish, the two other Tiens snuck up behind the unsuspecting primate and quickly grabbed him. Bubbles yelped as four arms wrapped themselves around his small body. The sound of clapping caught the attention of the three Tiens and Bubbles and they all turned their heads to look over at King Kai who was trying to stifle his laughter while clapping.
"Well done Tien, very clever. I like that you don't just use your strength; you use your mind as well. That's good; you might just make it after all. You can let Bubbles go now, and Bubbles, that was hilarious! You were so confused!" King Kai fell on the ground as two of the Tiens let go of the brown monkey. Tien quickly brought all three of his bodies back together and then crossed his arms while King Kai continued to roll on the ground as he laughed at Bubbles.
"So King Kai, can we start the real training now. You said that once I had caught your pet monkey we would begin the real training. I've adjusted to the gravity on this planet, so I think I'm ready for it now." King Kai stopped laughing and then stood up off the ground. He brushed off his outfit.
"No, what I actually said was that catching Bubbles was your first test on your way to getting to the real training. No my friend, you still have one more test before we begin your real training. Are you ready to begin the next test?" Tien nodded even though he was slightly annoyed by the fact King Kai was giving him another silly test before really training him. He was ready now whatever King Kai's training actually consisted of.
After seeing Tien nod, King Kai gathered as much air into his lungs as he could. Tien looked at his newest master with some confusion, wondering what the god could possibly be doing. Tien soon found out of King Kai yelled as loud as he could right into Tien's face. Tien quickly uncrossed his arms and brought them up to cover his ears as the gushing wind from King Kai's yell swept around him. After a few seconds, King Kai stopped yelling and Tien opened his eyes and looked annoyingly at the guardian of the North Quadrant.
"What was that for?" the ticked off former assassin asked. King Kai just gave a knowing smile and then responded, "You'll see just wait." King Kai turned around and looked off into the distance. Tien followed his master's gaze and saw a gushing wind fast approaching. King Kai's yell was circling back around the planet and Tien barely had time to cover his ears as the yell reached him again. After the yell had subsided, King Kai turned back around to face Tien again.
"Now that's really a long distance call." King Kai covered his mouth as he laughed at his own bad joke. Tien just looked at the short blue man and rolled his eyes, all three of them.
"Are you sure your really the ultimate martial arts master," questioned Tien sarcastically.
"Hey I heard that!" Tien looked up to see a bright blue light floating several feet above King Kai's head. The blue light raced towards the human fighter and before Tien had time to react, it had slammed into him and knocked him onto the ground.
"What the hell was that!" yelled Tien as he quickly jumped back up to his fight ready for a fight. He knew something had hit him, and that something was probably concealed in that blue light.
"I'm not an it you idiot!" yelled a high-pitched, squeaky voice that seemed to be coming from the mysterious blue light. The blue light flew towards Tien and stopped about a foot in front of his face. The blue light faded away and inside of the light was a big cricket. Well not big as compared to a human, but big for a cricket.
"Oh it's just some little cricket man," said Tien as he got out of his fighting stance. He didn't see this insect as any threat to himself or King Kai. King Kai had started to laugh at the name Tien had given to the cricket.
"You jerk! Stay quiet; you're just full of insults. Who do you think you are! I happen to be the great Gregory, a martial artist with no equal, except for King Kai of course. King Kai stop laughing this is no time for that!"
"Your ego is peerless," King Kai said in between laughing fits. Tien actually smiled at this joke. He agreed that his insect was a little too cocky for his good. Tien planned to knock him done a bit. Gregory scolded the ancient martial arts master for a little longer and then turned his attention back to Tien.
"So what's your problem, you don't think King Kai is for real."
"Well his methods are starting to bug me."
King Kai burst into laughter once again. "BUG ME! Ha that's a good one! I have to write that one done somewhere. Why didn't I think of that?"
Gregory once again began to scold the martial arts master. "King Kai this is no time for laughing. King Kai please."
King Kai wiped his eyes and got out his last chuckle. "Okay fine let's get on with it then. Tien meet your next test Gregory."
Tien raised his eyebrows. "You mean this little insect? King Kai can't we just get to the real training now."
Gregory got even closer to Tien's face. "Yeah that's right me. You got a problem with that?" The cricket then turned to face King Kai. "You'll take on just about anyone these days won't you? How am I supposed to work with a guy like this who doesn't know the first thing about showing respect for his elders?"
"You'll manage. Now let's get started." King Kai raised his hand into the air and a large hammer appeared in his hand.
"What's that for?" asked Tien as eyed the blue hammer.
"That's big Kai, are you sure you're not over doing it sir?"
"No it's fine. Here Tien think fast." King Kai tossed the hammer over to Tien seemingly effortlessly. Tien reached out with one hand to catch the hammer, but as soon as the hammer touched his hand it dropped to the ground dragged his hand along with it. Tien felt as if his shoulder had been pulled out of its socket. Tien struggled to lift the impossibly heavy hammer up.
"How's that heavy enough for you?" King Kai asked sarcastically. Gregory snickered as he watched Tien struggle to lift up the hammer from the ground. "Your next training is to knock Gregory down using the hammer I've given you." Tien looked down at the large, heavy hammer King Kai had given him and then up at the small, fast cricket he was suppose to hit. "If you are able to knock Gregory down, then you will move on to training directly under me."
"Good, you won't have to wait to long King Kai. I'll make short work of this cricket. Then we can get on to the real training"
"Don't get your hopes up, he said if you succeed," remarked Gregory as he flew up into the sky. The cricket began to power up and the blue sphere of light surrounded the cricket again. "Okay here I come." Gregory flew at Tien and before the three eyed fighter could even lift the hammer up the small cricket had smashed into him. Tien watched from the ground as Gregory flew across the planet.
"Man that little insect is fast," muttered Tien as he stood up to try and hit the small cricket again. But by the time Tien had gotten to his feet Gregory was already on top of him and had knocked him down again.
King Kai watched as Gregory continued to use his ki to knock down Tien as he flew past the three eyed fighter from Earth. I've never given a trainee a hammer that heavy before. thought King Kai as Gregory continued to knock down Tien. Good luck Tien.
"Come on Bubbles this could take awhile."

Piccolo and Goku were in the middle of an intense spar when Piccolo felt a disturbance in Gohan's power level. Piccolo kicked Goku away and then raised his hand to signal his rival to stop the spar. Goku waited impatiently for Piccolo to resume their spar but the Piccolo looked over to Goku and then said, "Follow me."
Piccolo began to fly away and Goku quickly came up beside his sparring partner. "What's this about Piccolo? Where are we going?"
"It's Gohan, his power level has spiked. We have to go check on him."
"Oh well at least I'll get to see him. How has he been doing in his training?"
Piccolo turned his head to look over at his former rival who he was now beginning to consider an ally and comrade. "He's going to be stronger than all of us. The kid is only 5 now and he's already far stronger than we were even half a year ago."
"Yeah I know isn't great! Maybe Chi-Chi will let me train him more now that he's already gotten started." Piccolo just shook his head and kept flying. It did not take long for the two most powerful fighters on the planet to arrive at where Gohan had been staying for the past six months.
"Stay out of sight," said Piccolo to Goku as he floated down to the ground. The green fighter looked around for any sign of Gohan. Piccolo spotted the sword he had given the kid along with the new outfit he had given the kid on the first day of his survival training.
"He shouldn't be roaming around at night without this." Piccolo heard a twig snap behind him. "So there you are. What are you up?" Piccolo turned around and looked at his young pupil. The kid had the look of a wild animal in his eyes and it seemed as if the kid was growling.
"Hey Piccolo is he okay?" Piccolo looked up and was about to yell at his training partner when Gohan suddenly lunged at the green fighter. Piccolo's reflexes kicked in and he backhanded the kid and sent him soaring towards a mountain. Afraid that he may have hit him to hard, Piccolo began to move towards the kid, but the kid did a flip in mid-air and used the side of the mountain to propel himself at his sensei.
Piccolo was slightly caught off by Gohan's furiosity. The kid seemed like a wild animal, constantly growling and his hands were shaped like claws when he was trying to attack. Piccolo however was able to block every single one of Gohan's attacks and after growing tired of the kid's attacks he punched the kid away from himself. However in a flash, Gohan had already rebounded and had pounced towards Piccolo with his arms outstretched and hands were clawed. Piccolo moved his body and let the kid pass by him; he then brought his knee up into the kid's stomach and then kicked the kid back again. Once again however, Gohan was back up in a flash.
"All give you points for persistence kid, but come on this is pointless. How about you just go back to bed huh." Gohan didn't seem to hear Piccolo and he prepared to leap at Piccolo once again, however Piccolo was ready for this. He shoot eye lasers at the kid making the kid dodge by jumping up to the top of the rock formation. Piccolo flew up to the other rock formation so he was still facing his young pupil.
Gohan was on all fours and snarling at the green fighter when Piccolo landed on the rock across from Gohan. With a snarl, Gohan leaped at Piccolo. Piccolo moved out of the way of the furious child and when Gohan landed he began running away from Piccolo. Piccolo prepared to go after him but he felt a stinging sensation on his cheek. He wiped his face with his hand looked down to see some of his purple blood on the back of his hand.
"Little punk made me bleed," said Piccolo as he flew after his pupil. Piccolo couldn't figure out what was wrong with Gohan. It was like the kid was a wild animal. The kid had never attacked him like this when during any of there training sessions, even though Piccolo wouldn't mind of the kid fought like this when the saiyans arrived, but he would prefer his student to be sane when they arrived, not some mindless animal.
"Gohan stop!" yelled Piccolo as he shot another set of eye lasers at the kid. The kid was sent into the air by the small explosion the eye beams had caused, but he maintained his balance and hit the ground running. As the kid was running, something appeared in his way.
"Hey Gohan, how's it going son?" Gohan didn't even slow down as he neared his father and he leapt at Goku. Goku quickly put up his defensive and began to block all of Gohan's swift punches. Finally though, Gohan was able to slip one past Goku's defense and landed a punch on his father's jaw, much to Piccolo's satisfaction. Gohan then raced past the stunned Goku and continued to run.
Piccolo was able to cut off Gohan when he reached a narrow strip of rock that connected two rock formations. Seeing no where to go, the feral Gohan stopped and snarled at the green fighter that was blocking his path. The kid's head whipped around when he heard Goku land behind him preventing him from retreating.
"There's no where to go Gohan," said Piccolo as the kid turned his attention back to the green fighter. The kid tried backing up, but his foot hit the edge of the small strip of rock causing several pieces of debris to cascade down to the bottom of the canyon below. "Don't do anything foolish Gohan. Why don't we all just go back to camp and roast some marshmallows or something."
"Um marshmallows! Yeah Gohan let's go back to camp. I want some marshmallows now."
"Goku not right now."
"What Piccolo you're the one that suggested the idea, I'm just seconding your proposal. Besides I'm hungry and marshmallows sound pretty good right about now."
"Goku I swear you and your stomach, one of these days it's going to…" Piccolo was cut off after Gohan pounced on him. Gohan get in one hit because Piccolo was unprepared but Piccolo was quick to put his defense back up and was able to block or evade the rest of Gohan's blows. Suddenly a brown, furry thing wiped out from behind Gohan and smacked Piccolo in the face. Piccolo was caught by surprise and flipped over to a rock closer to Goku.
"Did you see that Goku?"
"What you getting slapped by Gohan's tail, yeah. I thought you wouldn't be caught by that Piccolo. Maybe you're lost a step."
Piccolo growled at his rival who was mocking him. "He shouldn't have a tail."
Goku stole a glance away from his son to look over at Piccolo confused. "What are you talking about? Gohan's always had a tail, just like I did until it got removed."
"Oh yeah, he turned into a giant ape before we started training together. Guess I forgot to tell you about that."
"What! He turned into a giant ape!"
"Yeah, we'll anyway the short story is that I removed his tail after I destroyed the moon which is what causes saiyans to transform into this giant ape monster, but now it seems Gohan's gotten his tail back some how."
"So that's what happened to the moon, I was wondering what had happened to it. So are all saiyans able to transform into this monkey monster thing?"
"Yeah, I think so. I remembered Raditz saying something about a saiyan's true power being brought out under the light of the full moon."
"So that's why Grandpa Gohan always told me to never go outside at nighttime. So how strong is Gohan when he's a giant monkey?"
"Far stronger than either of us, luckily though he won't be able to transform without the moon."
"What are you talking about Piccolo? The moon's right behind us."
"What!" Piccolo wiped his body around to find himself face to face with the celestial body that he had destroyed six months ago. "How did that thing get back up there? Goku why didn't you say something about this earlier!"
Goku shrugged, "I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I mean it is just the moon; it's always been up there. Except when that Jackie Chun guy destroyed it after the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. I guess I must have transformed then."
"But I said that I had already destroyed! You didn't think to mention that it was up in the sky!"
"I figured you knew about it. Besides I thought Kami had brought it back, he's done it before. Oh what's, I think Gohan might become a problem soon though." The two rivals looked over at Gohan and saw that his eyes were locked onto the moon.
"Goku, quick destroy the moon! I'll try and hold Gohan down until you can get it done." Piccolo pointed his fingers at the motionless Gohan, hoping that his paralyzing web would be able too stop Gohan from transforming into the giant ape monster that he had become six months ago. The web of paralyzing energy surrounded the kid and Piccolo hoped that this would be enough to buy Goku the time he needed.
Goku had his hands cupped by his side as he aimed at the moon. Goku still found it hard to believe that he had been the one to kill his grandpa all those years ago. Of course, it didn't hurt as much as it would have back then to fight out that he had been the monster that had trampled his grandfather to death. He had spoken to his grandfather since then, and Grandpa Gohan had known it was him and he hadn't seemed angry at Goku for causing his death. Goku shook his head; he couldn't think about that right now, he had to keep his son from becoming an insanely powerful monkey.
"Kamehameha!" yelled Goku as he thrust his arms forward. The blue energy wave raced towards the moon, and then went straight throw it! "What!" yelled Goku in disbelief as he ended his energy wave and saw that the moon had been completely unharmed by his attack!
"Piccolo, my attack went right through the moon, it don't work!"
"No!" yelled Piccolo as Gohan's growing body broke through his paralyzing web. Piccolo quickly flew up next to Goku and watched as Gohan completed his transformation. The giant ape left loose a howl that shook the entire plain.
"Oh man, he's free!" exclaimed Piccolo. The green fighter then turned to his rival and yelled angrily, "Why isn't the moon gone yet!"
"I told you Piccolo, I tried my attack just went right through it. I don't understand what happened my attack should have made quick work of the moon." Piccolo sneered and then pushed Goku to the side.
"I guess I have to do everything myself then." Piccolo thrust his left arm forward and fired an Explosive Demon Wave from it and sent it racing towards the moon. The golden energy wave met the same fate is the blue wave and went straight through the moon. The moon however flickered.
"Told you," muttered Goku. Piccolo sent a murderous glare towards his rival and then said.
"It must be a projection. We have to find where it's coming from and turn it off. You go find the projector and I'll try and distract monkey boy."
"But Piccolo, the projector could be anywhere in the world!"
"Well you better start looking then, because even together we're not strong enough to stop that giant ape and if we don't stop it then Gohan will tear the planet apart. I'll contact you if I see anything while fighting Gohan, now go." Goku nodded and then took off in search of the projector.
Piccolo then turned his attention to the giant ape that was blasting holes into the Earth. "Okay you stupid ape, time for round two." Piccolo flew at towards the ape and then sent several ki blasts at the giant monkey. Piccolo could tell he hadn't actually hurt the beast, more like annoyed it. The giant monkey that was Gohan turned its head towards the green fighter and howled. Piccolo stopped and stared at the beast's two giant, red eyes and then tried to fire an Explosive Demon Wave at the beast's face. As his blast began to leave his hand, the monkey opened his mouth and fired a huge purple ki blast that completely consumed the green fighter and his energy wave before it even got a foot away from his hand.
Piccolo was thrown back several hundred yards and crashed into a mountain. He slowly stood up and threw his ruined and ripped cloak on the ground. His turban had been completely disintegrated by the huge energy blast and Piccolo was left in only his normal fighting clothes.
"Now you've gone and messed with the outfit, nobody messes with the outfit," said Piccolo as he blasted off towards the giant ape that was pounding mountains into dust. Piccolo flew straight into the back of the giant monkey's head and actually caused the monkey to fall to its knees. Piccolo also was sent soaring into the air with a massive headache.
"Okay, not my smartest attack strategy ever." As the giant monkey began to stood up straight again, Piccolo noticed a bright light that seemed to be behind the monkey. Piccolo stole a glance of the moon and noticed that there was a shadow on the face of the white celestial body that looked an awful lot like a giant monkey.
Goku! yelled Piccolo telepathically. Come back to where I am the projector is here. Piccolo felt Goku's energy heading towards him.
"Now I just have to live long enough for Goku to make it back here and destroy whatever is projecting that false moon," mumbled Piccolo as the giant ape opened its mouth and fired a huge purple energy wave at the green fighter.
Goku arrived as fast as he could possibly fly. Gohan was dangerous now that he was one of this giant monkeys, or Oozaru, as Goku wanted to call it. Goku looked up saw Piccolo struggling to dodge the Oozaru's multiple ki blasts and waves that it was firing from its mouth almost effortlessly.
"What power," commented Goku in awe before turning to look for the projector that had caused Gohan to transform into the mighty Oozaru. I didn't take long for Goku to find the source of the moon projection. In a crater, there was an open saiyan space pod that was glowing with green light. Goku could hear sound also coming from the pod and it sounded something like destroy all life forms Kakarot.
"Kakarot, that's what Raditz said my saiyan name was," said Goku as he stared down at the pod. "This must be the pod that brought me to Earth when I was just a baby. This must be where Grandpa Gohan found me and took me in." Goku was brought out of his memories when he heard a scream of pain and looked over to see the Oozaru grab Piccolo in its hand and then it threw the green fighter through a mountain.
"Well, I guess it's no time to think about the past, see ya space pod." Goku sent a ki blast down at the space pod and it exploded on impact. The projection of the moon flickered out of existence and the giant monkey let loose one last howl and then it had shrunk back down to just being Gohan once again. Goku briefed a sigh of relief and then flew over to where Piccolo was standing over the unconscious body of his small son.
Piccolo had just tossed aside the newly removed tail when Goku landed next to the heavily injured fighter. Piccolo grunted to acknowledge Goku's presence and the pointed two fingers down at the naked body of his young pupil and gave the kid an identical set of clothes that Gohan had been wearing before he had transformed. Piccolo then turned to face his training partner and said weakly.
"Catch me." Piccolo then fell into unconsciousness.

There was a loud crushing sound as the blue hammer missed its target and landed on the hood of King Kai's red car. Tien quickly took to the air to give chase to the cricket that had been trying to hit with this hammer for the past two weeks, completely ignoring the old god's plaintive cries.
"My car! You're going to pay for this to get repaired!" Tien just shook his head. He didn't understand why King Kai even had that car in the first place.
Tien looked around for his small prey and then finally spotted the blue light speeding away from him. The cricket had long since given up coming towards the former assassin. He knew that he would get swatted out of the air faster than he could blink. So it had become a cat and mouse chase like the last test, since by now Tien had adjusted to the heavy hammer and could swing it with speed and power now.
Tien flew to the other side of the planet, trying to cut off the cricket instead of just chasing the small insect. A plan was formulating in the three eyed fighters mind as he saw that he was on an intercept course with the blue light. Tien smirked as he saw that the cocky insect was falling right for his trap.
Tien abruptly stopped flying and brought both of his hands up to his head and yelled, "Solar Flare!" The blinding white light covered the entire planet and it caused Gregory to stop flying and cover his eyes to try and protect us eyes from the blinding light. It even got to King Kai and Bubbles, but Bubbles knew what was coming and quickly stole King Kai's glasses, which caused the ancient martial arts master to become blind instead of his pet monkey.
When the light dissipated, Gregory opened his eyes to suddenly feel a large force smacking on the top of his head. The small cricket was sent skyrocketing down towards the planet and caused a small crater to appear on the small planet's landscape.
"Oh come on Gregory that was just a love tap," mocked Tien as he landed on the ground and laughed at the dazed cricket.
"Hey how about you give us some warning before you use that technique!" yelled King Kai as he walked over to where Tien was standing with the hammer over his shoulder.
Tien smiled. "Bubbles seemed to know it was coming," he commented as he nodded to where Bubbles was still wearing the North Kai's sunglasses. King Kai quickly retrieved his sunglasses and then after had calmed himself down about the Solar Flare technique and the destruction of his car he said,
"Good job Tien, now we can begin the real training."
Hey readers, sorry it's been so long since I've updated but I've been really busy so theirs my lame apology for not updating in forever. Anyway Christmas Break is here so that means I'm going to have a lot of free time, so I'm hoping to get a few chapters done in that time period. Thanks go out to everyone that reviewed the last chapter and keep it up!
