King Kai spotted something on Snake Way. "Gregory's here," he announced.

Goku and I looked to see who Gregory was. However, all that either of us could see was a glowing ball moving along the path quickly. When it reached the end, it stopped for a moment before quickly zooming upward toward the small planet. The ball of light stopped moving in front of King Kai before it vanished to reveal an unusually large grasshopper. It landed on the ground in front of the blue deity.

"Sorry I'm a few days late," said the large insect. "I ran into King Yemma and he started asking me questions again."

"Gregory, you need to be careful about Yemma," responded the Kai sternly. "You know how much he likes to brag about his magical desk made of giant mahogany trees."

"Sorry, King Kai," apologized Gregory. Hoping to change the subject, he suddenly asked, "Who are these guys?"

"'These guys' are Goku and Frui," answered the blue Kai. "They're my new students."

"Does this mean...?" The grasshopper looked scared.

Gregory was interrupted when King Kai said to Goku and me, "Your next task is to hit Gregory with a hammer. Trust me, he might be too fast for you, but you'll hit him eventually."

"I hate this game," Gregory pouted. "When we played it with King Yemma, I almost died at least five times!"

"You're not dead yet, Gregory," said King Kai, "but you WILL be if you don't do as I say!"

"Yes, King Kai!" frantically shouted the grasshopper as he took to the air again in his glowing ball of ki.

King Kai materialized a hammer and gave it to Goku. "You're going first," he stated.

Goku then charged after Gregory. The ensuing chase lasted a long time just like when Goku chased Bubbles. It ended when Gregory got distracted by a leaf falling off of the tree and Goku took the chance to hit him on the head, sending the oversized bug to the ground.

"Oooow," Gregory managed to say.

"Good job, Goku. It only took you three Earth hours," said the Kai. "That's actually a pretty good time for this being your first try. Now, give the hammer to Frui so he can have a go at it." After Goku gave me the mallet, King Kai yelled, "GREGORY, GET OFF OF THE GROUND! THIS ISN'T A GOOD TIME TO GO TO SLEEP ON ME!"

Out of shock, Gregory shot off the ground as fast as a bullet and hovered at about my eye level. "Yes, King Kai. It'll never happen again, I promise!"

"You had better be telling the truth," threatened King Kai. More calmly, he said to me, "You may now begin."

The first thing I did was transform into a Super Saiyan. After all, if Goku could barely hit Gregory, then I couldn't do it in my base form even if I wanted to. Within another few minutes, I had Gregory within reach. I was moving more quickly than him, so I missed when I swung the hammer. Gregory looked at me, stuck his tongue out, and turned to the right. Almost too late, I realized that I was about to run into the tree. Immediately, I flew into the air to go over it. Then, I chased after Gregory once more.

Thirty seconds later, Gregory was on the ground again, this time unconscious; I must have hit him too hard. King Kai and Goku walked over to me. "Congratulations, Frui," stated the blue deity sarcastically. "You knocked out Gregory."

"Sorry, King Kai!" I said apologetically.

Hey, guys! I know this chapter is shorter than any of the previous ones (even the prologue), but I wanted to concentrate everything Gregory-related into one chapter by itself. Also, the next part of the story involves a time skip, so it makes sense for me to end this chapter so soon.

There's only one new Power Level:
Gregory: 700

Just so you guys know, I'm okay with answering your questions. Just put the question(s) that you have in a review, and I will answer them right here in the next chapter.
