"Where have you been?!" yelled King Kai when I landed on the grass. "I came back here and Gregory and Bubbles were alone! You're lucky that they didn't try to kill each other!"
I reverted to my base form and bowed my head apologetically. "I'm sorry, King Kai. I was testing my speed to see if I could catch up to you at the other end of Snake Way. The good news is that I travelled the whole distance - in fact, twice - in less than an hour!"
"I'm going to have to congratulate you, but you're in big trouble nonetheless," said King Kai. "No more leaving this planet until either I say so or you come back to life. Understand?"
"Yes, King Kai," I said. Suddenly, I remembered something that I had been wondering. "By the way, what was that technique that you used to get to Yemma's so quickly?"
"Oh, it's called Instant Transmission," he answered. "It teleports me to a creature of my choice that I can sense. Would you like to learn it?"
"That would be awesome!"
"Okay, then," said the Kai. "The first thing you need to do is know how to sense other people's ki. Can you do that?" I nodded; I had picked up the skill over the past few months. "That's good. The second step is knowing how to control your own ki, which you have already proved to be capable of. The third and final requirement is extreme focus and skill. I will teach you to do so. Are you ready, Frui?"
"You know I am," I answered confidently.
"Good. Hey, Bubbles! Could you go stand next to my car, please?"
Bubbles got out of the tree and walked over to King Kai's car. The blue god smiled and started concentrating his energy into his hand so much that I could sense the change.
"Personally, I like to focus my ki into my left hand," stated the Kai. "You could use any part of your body that you choose. Next, you focus on the Power Level of the person that you want to go to and you imagine yourself being next to them." Suddenly, King Kai vanished. When I looked over at Bubbles, King Kai was standing right next to him. "It's that simple!" The deity looked at his car for a second before saying, "Bubbles, why are there monkey prints on the window?" The primate responded by waving his hands in the air.
"Can I try it?" I asked.
"No, you can't put your hands on my window!" King Kai laughed. "But seriously, if you want to try the technique, be my guest," he answered. "I doubt you'll get it on your first try, though."
Ignoring that last part, I started thinking about what part of my body I should use to hold my concentrated energy. Soon, I decided to use my index and middle fingers on my right hand. I began concentrating the energy into them when I realized something: the loose energy near my brain wasn't moving.
"King Kai, I can't get the energy in my head to move into my fingers," I announced. "What should I do?"
"Just put your fingers on your forehead," replied the Northern Kai sarcastically.
I did what he said and put the tips of my fingers against my forehead. Suddenly, I felt an unexpected rush of power running into my fingers; my energy was fully concentrated into one small area. Next, I began concentrating on King Kai's energy signature. Then, I began to imagine myself standing next to my master. I focused as hard as I could until, for a very small amount of time, I felt weightlessness and physical gravitation to King Kai at the same time. When I opened my eyes, I saw King Kai's red car right in front of me. When I turned my head, Bubbles was clapping and the Northern Kai's mouth was half open.
"Did I just do the technique properly?" I asked.
"That was the best first try for any technique that I've ever seen in my entire life!" exclaimed King Kai. "You executed Instant Transmission almost flawlessly!"
Hey guys! I'm sorry that this chapter is a bit short, but I wanted to focus 95% on Instant Transmission, with the other 5% being the early part of this chapter where King Kai is scolding Frui for running off.
There are no new Power Levels, so…yeah. Carry on.
