As the months went by, Goku and I got much stronger through King Kai's training. With time, both of us could catch Bubbles within five seconds and hit Gregory with the hammer within eight seconds (I did it in my base form with those times). King Kai was pleased with our progress, but he didn't quite understand why I had improved so much more quickly than Goku.
One day, Goku and I were sparring while using Kaioken x2 when King Kai, who was standing off to the side, suddenly looked alarmed. "Oh no," he nervously said. "They're almost there!"
"You mean the Saiyans?" asked Goku.
"Yes," answered the blue god. "They're already within the solar system that Earth is in! Just a few minutes ago, they passed Pluto and destroyed it!"
"Is there any way to contact the others?" I asked, hoping to return to Earth.
"You can use my telepathy to talk to them," replied King Kai.
Back on Earth...
Master Roshi was sitting on the toilet, reading a new playboy magazine. His mouth was watering and, every time he saw another girl, he hollered crazily.
"Heh, heh, heh!" he laughed. "This is amazing! I've never seen this many babes in one magazine before!"
Suddenly, he heard a voice: "Master Roshi!"
"Wha…wha…wha…what?!" exclaimed Roshi, caught off-guard by the voice. He thought that somebody was in the bathroom with him. "Who's there?"
"It's me, Goku."
"Oh, Goku!" The turtle hermit looked around. "Eh...where are you?"
"I'm in OtherWorld talking to you through King Kai," responded Goku.
"Who's King Kai?" asked Roshi obliviously.
"I'm King Kai!" shouted an angry voice. "How have you not heard of me yet?! I rule the entire Northern Galaxy!"
"Oh...well, it's nice to meet you! What do you guys need, though?" asked Roshi.
"You need to gather the Dragon Balls and wish everyone who was killed by Raditz back to life," answered Goku. "Do you have them all yet?"
"Yeah, Bulma is actually bringing them here now for safe keeping."
"When she gets there, wish back everyone killed by Raditz, including me."
"You got it, Goku! Does this mean that the Saiyans are coming early?"
"They are. They destroyed something called Pluto earlier today," answered the good Saiyan.
"Well, it's a good thing nobody ca-" Roshi stopped mid-sentence when he heard the front door open.
"Master Roshi, we're here!" shouted a female voice.
"We have the Dragon balls!" exclaimed a male voice.
"The old dude is on the can, guys," said a rather gravelly voice. "He'll probably be out soon."
"I've got to go, Goku," said Roshi. "Bulma brought the Balls."
"All right, Master!" said Goku. "See you when I'm revived!"
King Kai kept watch over everyone at Kame House. After three minutes, the god said, "Okay, they've summoning the Dragon now." A few seconds passed before the expression on King Kai's face went from nearly emotionless to startled. "No!" he exclaimed, flailing his arms all over the place. "That old man forgot!"
"What's wrong?" I asked. King Kai pointed to my halo. Goku and I looked at it. Next, I looked at Goku and suddenly realized what King Kai meant. "Goku...you're alive. Your halo is gone, but mine is still here. What's going on?"
"Master Roshi must have messed up the wish," said Goku, scratching the back of his head out of embarrassment. "The Dragon Balls won't be available again for another year, so you're stuck here, Frui. I'm sorry."
"I'll be fine," I said calmly. "King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory are here, so I won't be lonely. Also, I can keep training and get even stronger!"
"That's the nicest thing anybody has ever said about me!" cried King Kai happily.
"If you're really fine with staying here, then I'll just leave," said Goku. He was preparing to jump back to Snake Way when King Kai stopped him.
"Goku, touch my shoulder," demanded the deity. "I can get you to Yemma's place quickly." Then, King Kai said to me, "I'll be back."
"Right." Goku grabbed King Kai's shoulder right before they both vanished into thin air. They had teleported away.
Eager to test myself and catch up with them, I went Super Saiyan and flew back to Snake Way. Immediately, I began flying the whole distance of the path as quickly as I could. Suddenly, I came up with an idea to go faster. "Kaioken!" My aura turned to a red-orange color and my speed got a major boost. Ignoring the strain, I kept going.
Within minutes, I was at the giant Mahogany Desk. Then, I reverted to my base form. "Hi, King Yemma!" I shouted. "Did Goku leave yet?"
"You just missed him, Frui," answered the red giant. "King Kai dropped him off and went back to his planet."
"Oh...I guess that means that I'll just fly the entire distance of Snake Way again."
"Wait a second, did you just say that you traveled the entire distance of Snake Way in less than a day?!" Yemma was so surprised that he stopped judging dead souls for a second. "That's never been done before!"
"I'm special," I teased. "Well, I'm off. See you next time I die!" With that, I went Super Saiyan again and flew down Snake Way once more, this time using Kaioken from the start.
Hey, guys! I hope you liked this chapter!
If you're wondering, Goku is as strong as he was in canon. He was held back because Frui had to do things to train, too, but having a sparring partner is better than training alone; you get more productivity in terms of getting stronger.
King Kai teleporting Goku doesn't really save any time. Goku is running even later than in canon DBZ, so King Kai finally remembered that he can use Instant Transmission. It won't have any effects on the Saiyan Saga.
Also, when Frui used his Kaioken, the colors of the Kaioken and Super Saiyan auras mixed to become that red-orange color, similar to when Goku used the Super Kaioken in the non-canon OtherWorld tournament.
The Power Levels for this chapter are as follows:
Goku: 8,001 (9,001 in the anime for Rise, Shenron XD)
Kaioken x2 Goku: 16,002
Base Frui: 10,400
Kaioken x2 Frui: 20,800
SSJ Frui: 520,000
SSJ Frui with a x1.5 Kaioken: 780,000
