Chapter 12 - WHAT? Part II

After Micheal and Leanne left the island. Leanne sat on the backseats of Micheal's speedboat while he drove. She stared at the ocean and breathe in the salty air.

"Hey,"

She turned to see Micheal's back, "You okay there, kid?" he asked, while he drove the speedboat.

Leanne blinked, "Yeah," she said, "so when-I mean, how long is it going to take us to arrive at your home, sir...?"

"Not too long and call me Micheal," he turned and gave me a small smile.

She nodded mutely and stared at the ocean again.

"Not much of a talker, huh?"

Leanne chuckled sheepishly and rubbed her arm, "Sorry, I'm just... I just like the quiet, that's all." she said quietly.

Micheal hummed, "I see.. so you're an introvert?"

The young girl shrugged, "I'm more of an ambivert. I enjoy socializing people, but I also need my alone time." she told him and leaned on her seat with a sigh.

"Wow, so Master Roshi was right. For a young child like you, you're mature and smarter than you look." he said.

Leanne froze. She stared at him with sweat sliding down on her face and the back of her neck. The young girl let out a fake, sheepish laugh and kept her sweaty hands in her pockets.

"I get that a lot!" she replied with a grin.

Please buy it, please buy it...

Micheal chuckled, "I can tell." he smiled.

After that sentence, silence aired through the air again except the speedboat and the wind. Leanne closed her eyes and covered it with her arm. That was close, the young girl didn't think if she's ready for Micheal to know about her 'origins' yet.

Six minutes later, they arrived at the island. The two walked out the speedboat while it poofed and turned into a capsule. Micheal gave the young girl a smile and hid his capsule.

"Let's go, Leanne." he held out his hand to me.

Leanne nodded and took his hand, the two walked around the island and went into a forest. For about ten minutes, they arrived Micheal's home. Leanne blinked and stared at his house in surprise. It was a German cottage, but in a modern style. It's been a few years she last saw a house like that.

"Your house looks lovely, Micheal."

The young-looking adult laughed and rubbed his neck, "Really? Well, thank you, Leanne!" he smiled toothily.

"Call me Lea," she suddenly said, "I strongly preferred it instead of my full name."

To be honest, she isn't comfortable with people calling her in her full name. Leanne referred to be called that when it comes to people she's very close to.

Micheal nodded, "Alright." he turned and took out a key.

The young girl followed behind him and once he unlocked the door. The two walked in and Leanne's eyes lingered around. She has to say. Micheal's house is awesome, in her opinion. She jumped when Leanne felt a hand on her shoulder. The young girl turned to see a chuckling Micheal, this caused her to pout and gave him a playful glare.

"That was mean," Leanne muttered.

Micheal laughed, "Sorry, couldn't help myself. Anyway, let me show you your room." he held out his hand.

The young girl nodded and took his hand, they went upstairs and Leanne saw two doors. The first door was plain white except it has a sign that has Micheal's name on it, the other door was beige and doesn't have a name on it. Micheal told her that her room is right next to his which kind of made Leanne feel relieved.

"We will begin your first lesson in two hours, so take your time unpacking and have some rest. Okay?" the young adult patted her head.

Leanne nodded and thanked him before he peftleft the room. She turned around and took in her surroundings. The walls are painted in light orange along with some plain white, while the curtains on the windows are brown with golden floral designs. Leanne jumped on the bed and groaned at the softness of it, she laid on her back and stared at the ceiling.

To find out that Master Roshi has a third student was mind boggling for her. Leanne never imagined that would happen and it made her worried. Is it because her presence in this world cause some changes?

The young girl flinched at that and laid on her side. Messing up the timeline of this world will be a huge stress on her, she can't afford to interfere the future too much. It was meant to be unpredictable, not something you can read easily from a book. Leanne frowned and silently growled, she clenched the sheets tightly and shook with raging emotions inside of her.

She carefully sat up and stared the bed with a solemn look. There will be a huge chance Leanne won't have any self-control if she keeps joining Goku's adventures. This will cause her to take the opportunity to try and change the future of this world for the sake of her friends. Leanne's eyes went down, she gritted her teeth and clutched her hair while small tears slid on her cheeks.

"There are so many things I want to interfere in this world," she whispered brokenly, "for Pete's sakes... I can't bear to stand and watch all of that happening. They all deserved to happy, but..."

Leanne gritted her teeth again and covered her face. She spent her time muffling her cries and angry screams on her bed.


After her episode, she finally calmed down and unpacked her belongings. Once Leanne's done, she took a short bath and changed into suitable clothes for training. A pair of jogging pants, flip-flops, and a tank top.

Leanne tied up her hair and admired the colorful ends she had. Blue, turquoise, yellow, silver, red, emerald, and other colors she's very familiar with. She twirled a strand of her hair for a few minutes and left the room.

The young girl went downstairs and reached the living room. She saw Micheal on the couch watching television. Leanne tilted her head and approached him. Once she was near enough, Leanne tapped his shoulder and Micheal turned his head.

"Ah, right. Training," he said and stood up, "I almost forgot. Let's go, Lea."

She followed Micheal to the backyard, Leanne sat with her legs folded together and stared at her teacher.

"Okay, Lea, I need you to listen to this." he said and took out an mp3 player. Leanne stared at him weirdly to see if he's serious.

Clearly, he is.

The young girl sighed, took the mp3, and listened to the song. Her eyes widened and her jaw slacked open.

"What the frik, this is the most beautiful song I ever heard in my life!" she yelled internally.

Micheal smiled amusingly at Leanne's reaction, "Good, right?"

She numbly nodded and he gave out a hearty laugh. Micheal ruffled her head and knelt beside her, "Since you like it, can you sing it for me?"

Leanne turned her head and gave him a flabbergasted look, "W-What!"

"It's part of the training. I'll explain later, so can you sing it?" he crossed his arms and raised his brows.

The young girl pouted and twiddled her fingers in thought. The song is really good and the one who sang it was just phenomenal. She would love to sing it, but it's been years she last sang a full song. After fighting a mini-battle, Leanne shivered and nodded shakily.

"Great! Here's the lyrics," Micheal took out a piece of paper and gave it to Leanne, "now take your time to get ready and sing!" he grinned and sat on the ground.

Leanne whined and sluggishly stood up, she stepped back a bit and held the lyrics. Leanne listened the song a few times and sighed. For a minute, she took a deep breath.

"I'm tryin' to hold my breath..."

She stared at Micheal who gave her an encouraging smile.

"Let it stay this way,

Can't let this moment end.

You set off a dream in me...

Gettin' louder now,

Can you hear it echoing?"

Leanne's hands shook and she breathe in deeply for them to stop.

"Take my hand,

Will you share this with me?

'Cause darling without you...

All the shine of a thousand spotlights,

All the stars we steal from the night sky,

Will never be enough.

Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little,

These hands could hold the world but it'll,

Never be enough,

Never be enough,

For me.

Never, never!

Never, never!

Never, for me..

For me...

Never enough...

Never enough...

Never enough...

For me,

For me,

For me!

All the shine of a thousand spotlights,

All the stars we steal from the night sky,

Will never be enough!

Never be enough!

Towers of gold are still too little,

These hands could hold the world but it'll,

Never be enough,

Never be enough...

For me!

Never, never!

Never, never!

Never, for me,

For me...

Never enough!

Never, never!

Never enough!

Never, never!

Never enough!

For me,

For me,

For me!"

Leanne stopped suddenly and breathe in, "for me..." she softly sang.

Micheal's eyes widened, he grinned and jumped up before engulfing Leanne into a suffocating hug. She yelped at this and choked for air.

"That was amazing! Despite there were some voice cracks in the high notes, it was still fantastic!" he hugged her tightly.

Leanne's face turned red, "W-What's th-the point of all th-this? Also, l-let go of me!"

Micheal blinked and realized she was suffocating in his arms, he let her go and Leanne crumbled to ground with her soul flying out of her back.

He sheepishly chuckled, "Sorry about that. Anyway, the reason why is because it involves your training. Your a mage, correct?"

Leanne gasped harshly and stood up in a blast, "How d'you know that?" she screamed in one breath.

Micheal smirked and tapped her nose, "Dear, I'm like you and I can tell by your aura. Not to mention, I knew about it years ago." he said matter-of-factly.

The young girl scooted away and had a suspicious look on her face, "Years ago? I never met you! Who are you and what do you want from me?" she hissed.

Micheal laughed at her attitude, "What a silly question! You already know who I am, Leanne." he grinned widely.

"Be serious," Leanne hissed.

Micheal sighed at this, shook his head, and raised his hands. "Wow, you really had forgotten me, Lea. Maybe this will jog your memory, remember who gave you that backpack four years ago?" he smirked.

Leanne racked her brain to remember and she soon gave him a death glare, "You're not Tito Eston. He's shorter than me, got the most beautiful goatee in the world, and he's fat like a marshmallow. There's no way you're him."

He rubbed his chin at her comment with a smug smile, "I have to say, you are right about the goatee."

Micheal soon sighed and held his hips, "Ugh. Anyway, I knew this would be harder than I thought. Okay, time to do Plan B!" his entire form glowed and Leanne gawked.

When the light died down, her eyes widened at the person she's seeing.

"Tito," she yelled and pointed a finger at him. Leanne formed an 'X' above her with her arms and shook her head, "Nope, nope, nope! No way, you can't be him." she shrieked.

Micheal scratched his head, "Yeah, this will be harder than I thought..."

He rubbed his chin and stared up in the sky in though, "Your full name is Leanne Kyla Gabriella Delias Calio. *Birthday mo ay March 14, paborito mo na kulay ay neon blue at emerald, favorite food ay Palabok." Micheal listed and gave her a sly smirk, "and your biggest crush in all time ay si Roronoa Zoro from One Piece, which I showed it to you noong eight years old ka pa."

Leanne gasped audibly at his *Taglish and pointed him in a melodramatic way, "You are my tito." her jaw dropped. The only one who knew her actual full name was her parents, uncle, and herself.

"Ding, ding, ding! We got ourselves a winner," Micheal said sarcastically while he clapped slowly.

Leanne sweatdropped. Yep, this is her uncle alright. She shook her head and crossed her arms, "But you died two years ago from a construction accident, how are you still alive? And what's with being Master Roshi's third student, huhh?" she glared and leaned towards him.

Her uncle's look turned sad and smiled softly, "Oh, right, that..."

Leanne stepped back a bit and felt the emotions coming off of her uncle. She began to feel guilty for asking such a question, it's not like she really did this on purpose. The young girl just needed to know what happened, that's it. For years, she grieved for him, thinking he was dead. And now, he's standing in front of her alive.

"It's... a long story, Lea." Micheal said.

Leanne held her hips, "I got time."

He stared her stern face and sighed, "I see... Well, this is bound to happen anyway." he turned back to his other form. He sat on the ground and Leanne did the same.

The wind blew and Leanne felt goosebumps forming on her arms. She turned to Micheal and saw have reminiscing emotion in his eyes.

"Where d'you want me to start?"

"The beginning, please."

Her uncle laughed softly and stared at the skies, "Okay, umm, after I died from the construction accident, I suddenly found myself in this world. I didn't know how or why, but I was turned into a child like you. Except much younger, I say about seven years old?" he chuckled.


Micheal's eyes snapped open and he sat up, gasping harshly with sweat trail down on his face and neck. He looked around and found himself in a forest, Micheal shook his head and held his face in confusion. Didn't he died hours ago? How is he still alive?

Soon he saw a nearby lake, Micheal shakily stood up and noticed he still got his belt pouch. He dashed towards the lake and slid down on his knees, stopping his dash. Micheal washed his face and when he stared clearly at the water, his dark eyes widened.

"Ahh!" he staggered back and hit the ground.

Micheal stared his hands and noticed. They were small. He stood up and saw that he was in the form of a seven-year old.

"How the hell this happened?" he muttered and turned around, scratching his head in thought.

Micheal stepped forward and left the place.


Two months passed, it didn't take long for Micheal to find out that his belt pouch is a hammerspace and that's he's in Dragon Ball world. The capsules in his pouch and the dinosaurs are the proof of that. He spent his time in the forest, fighting and hunting animals to survive.

While Micheal cooked his skinless wolf in the fire, he sat silently and stared at the flames. He was lucky that he managed to survive in this wild forest with all the animals around. Somehow, Micheal gained the strength of a bear despite his young body. Not to mention, he found an Itak in one of the capsules he had.

Micheal's sat up straight alerted, he heard rustling in the bushes and without no hesitation. He took out his Itak and ended up pointing to two kids. They yelled and jumped back with wide eyes, Micheal blinked and sighed in relief. He put away his Itak and muttered an apology to the kids.

"N-No worries, anyway. What's your name?" one of the kids asked.

He was a bit stout, but had some muscles for his age. The child was a foot taller than Micheal and he wore a helmet that looks like what Vikings wear.

"Micheal," he answered and held out his hand, "call me Eston."

The Viking-like child chuckled and shook his hand, "My name's Gyū Maō. This is my friend, Gohan." he pointed the other child while Micheal stared in shock.

Gohan smiled and waved, "Hi there, that's a cool catch you got there."

Micheal blinked, raised a brow and turned to his roasting wolf. "Yeah, I know. Hey, do you want some?" he asked.

The two kids smiled widely and nodded, "Sure!"


"Please!"

Micheal bowed to his knees before Master Roshi, the old man stared and hummed.

"And why should I teach you, young man? As you can see, I already have two students to look after."

"Please, Master Roshi! I beg of you to take me in. I need to learn in order to protect the people I care about." he said desperately before mentally cringing at his cheesiness.

"Quite noble of you to say that, but even if I take you in. Can you handle the training regimen I'll give you like Gyū Maō and Gohan?"

"Hai."

"Hmmm... How about this? I'll give you a test and if you pass, I'll take you in. So what do you say?"

Micheal looked up and nodded, "Deal!"


"I take it you passed the test?"

Micheal nodded, "Yeah."

Leanne sighed and lay on the ground, "How about being a mage?" she asked softly.

He looked up and watched the clouds form, "Turns out our great ancestors had been mages a long time ago and decided to live normally in our world. That's all I know of." he said.

Leanne nodded, "Ah... That makes sense."

"I'm sorry for this, Lea. I know this is hard to take in, but I never intended to leave you alone." Micheal frowned, "I was actually planning to adopt you from that *aswang."

Her eyes closed and responded calmly, "It's okay, I understand. At least you gave me the explanation I needed." she said.

Micheal smiled and felt relieved, "Thank you."

"Can we please go back to training now?"

"A-Ah, yes, of course!"

He stood up and cleared his throat while Leanne sat and waited for him to speak.

"So I see you're still confused about the concept of why I asked you to sing. To explain it," Micheal turned to his niece, "mages like you and I are capable of doing Enchanta. Enchanta is a music kind of magic that we can project magic through our spells by singing or playing instruments, understand?"

"Crystal."

For three hours, Leanne spent time listening her uncle explaining about magic and mages. It was like she's listening to History class again, but in a more fascinating topic. Leanne was lucky to not fall asleep through the discussion.

After that, Micheal asked if she knows how to meditate, but Leanne told him that she's been doing it for years causing her uncle to stare at her bug eyed.

"Seriously? Then there's no need to explain about it," he scratched his cheek, "since you practiced for that long. I think the basics shouldn't be hard. Wait here, okay?"

She nodded and Micheal went inside his house. About five minutes, he came back with a brown pouch in hand.

"Here," he tossed the bag.

Leanne caught it reflexively and stared at it curiously. She opened the pouch and saw multiple gems. The young girl gasped in awe and turned to her uncle with sparkly eyes, "Where did you get these, uncle?"

Micheal snickered and ruffled her hair, "I got them from a friend of mine, kiddo." he said.

"So am I going to eat them?" Leanne asked while she held out the emerald and eyed it closely.

Her uncle froze and turned to her with wide eyes, "Y-Yeah... How did you —?"

Leanne cut him off, "While I was in Ox King's flaming mountain, I met this fire-like woman named Emily. She got four kids that are like her and they told me that I'm a mage and gave me this chunk of ruby. I even ate this Aquamarine I found on Master Roshi's island." she blandly explained and sniffed the little diamonds.

"Hmm, smells like mint and vanilla."

Micheal's eyes are now wide and round. He numbly stared at his niece and screamed.

"Emily? You met Emily?" he yelled and shook Leanne like a rag-doll.

"Yeah, I did. Now stop shaking me! *Atiris ka ba?" she growled.

Micheal stopped, "H-How is she? Are Leo, Allen, Miguel, and Lisa are okay?" he asked quite desperately.

Leanne gave him a strange look, "They're fine. And how did you know their names anyway? Are you and Emily are friends or something?"

He sighed and rubbed his temple, "Want me to be blunt or go through a long explanation?" he said.

She shrugged, "Blunt, please."

"Emily is my wife,"

"Oh okay.'

"..."

"Wait, what!?"
