Ch.5

Preparing for the Soul Society

Goku and Ichigo continued watching as the villains came closer. Just then, Aizen appeared and

glanced at Cell.

Aizen, "Use your Solar Flare."

Cell, "How did you know about that?"

Aizen, "I always keep a watchful eye. Now, use it."

Cell held up his left hand to his left eye and his right hand to his right eye, and while doing so spread out his fingers. "Solar Flare!" An intense beam of light engulfed the Soul Reapers and Z-Warriors. The light disappeared and the villains were gone. One by one, their energy signals completely vanished from the Earth.

The groups joined back with each other. Gohan put Goku and Ichigo on the platform. Goku then took Zangetsu out and begun swinging it around. Ichigo barely dodged a swing at his stomach.

Ichigo, "Hey, watch were you swing Zangetsu!"

Goku put his left arm behind his head, "Sorry about that."

Piccolo, "The question is, why does Goku have Zangetsu at all?"

Ichigo, "It felt like our energies were drained. I looked over at Goku and saw he was holding Zangetsu."

Goku, "I think I could get used to this thing."

Ichigo, "That thing has a name."

Trunks, "I think we have a trader."

Goku, "Can it, Trunks."

Vegeta chuckled, "As the Prince of all Saiyans I have to agree."

Piccolo, "Enough. "

Toshiro, "So, what happened?"

Gohan, "I think Babadi's curse backfired. Instead of getting rid of my dad's power, his got switched."

Piccolo, "Can either of you use your new power?"

Everyone stood behind Ichigo and Goku.

Ichigo, "So, where should I start?"

Goku, "I think flight is pretty basic. We both have that power."

Ichigo, "Sounds good to me."

Ichigo focused all of his thoughts. He tried to picture himself flying. He thought back to when Goku killed the Hollow. After a few seconds of concentration, nothing happened. Ichigo turned to Goku, and he shook his head in dismay. Both of them turned and looked back at Piccolo and the others.

Piccolo, "We have a lot of work to do."

Toshiro, "So, what now?"

Ichigo, "We should go to Kisuke's shop. That's the best place to train."

Toshiro, "While you guys are training, we can go looking for the Dragon Balls."

Gohan, "We have the perfect device for that. It's called a Dragon Ball Locator."

Toshiro, "I'll go with you. I can show you back to Kisuke's shop."

Kibito Kai, "Sounds like everything is planned. I'll take you to Capsule Corp. We'll then meet up at Kisuke's."

The two groups then separated.

Kibito Kai, Gohan, and Toshiro appeared right behind Bulma as she was working.

Gohan, "Hey, Bulma. How's it going?"

Bulma got up and faced Gohan and the others, "Good, how are you?"

Gohan, "Great."

Bulma, "So, do you know who made that wish?'

Gohan, "That's kind of the reason we're here. Well, I'll let Toshiro Hitsugaya explain who Aizen is."

Toshiro and Bulma then introduced each other.

Tohsiro, "Former Captain Sosuke Aizen made a wish with the Dragon Balls. He's not a person to be taken lightly. He defected from the Soul Society, which is where we live. Appearantly, he made a wish to free all of the prisoners of Hell."

Bulma, "Then, you won't be able to make a wish for another year."

Kibito Kai, "When the Dragon Balls entered the Soul Society, they reformed. If we can collect all seven, then we can make a wish."

Bulma began searching for the radar and soon found it. She handed the locator to Gohan.

Gohan, "Thanks."

Bulma, "I heard what happened to Krillin. I want to do my part in this."

Kibito Kai, "Well, I would love to stay and chat, but we really have to go."

Bulma, "It was nice seeing you again." She held out her hand to Toshiro, "It was nice meeting you."

Toshiro, "You to."

They all linked hands and Kibito Kai used his instant transmission. They then appeared at Kisuke's underground layer.

Gohan looked around with awe. He couldn't believe how big this place was. The Time Chamber he had previously been in was huge, but that was in another dimension. This place was big, and it was under a house. He looked and noticed that everyone had gathered in front of what looked like a door. He heard some yelling in the background and saw that his Dad and Ichigo had already started training. "Just like him", Gohan said.

Just then, a man with a hat started to come towards him. He held a cane in his hand, and the sound of his shoes could be heard against the ground. Gohan figured this was Kisuke Urahara.

The man held out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Gohan. My name is Kisuke."

Gohan greeted him, "Nice to meet you as well."

Kisuke, "Could I see the Dragon Ball Locator?"

Gohan handed it over to him. He examined it carefully, like a child glued to a TV. After a couple of minutes, he gave the radar back.

Kisuke, "Interesting, very interesting. It could work." He then looked back up at Gohan, "As you see, everyone has gathered here. They're waiting at a gate called a Senkaimon. This gate will allow you to enter the Soul Society."

Vegeta then shouted, "Hey, we don't have all day!"

Kisuke, "You should get going. Renji and Piccolo will help train Goku and Ichigo. Good luck."

Gohan, Kibito Kai, and Toshiro walked over to the others. They then entered the Senkaimon.
