-2 hours later in west city-
"Hello dr briefs I understand you are harboring an illegal alien in your home." Jaco said smiling at the man before the door tried to slam in his face, Jaco stopped this of course but laughed.
"Hey I need to talk to you about something for raising a Saiyan, this one in particular we've discovered a few things about the kid." Jaco said trying to get briefs to stop trying to slam his fingers in the door.
"What do you need."
"We want to help Kakarot grow into a good commander."
"Well thank you but I already have a man lined up for the job, as such you are unnecessary. Taco."
"It's Jaco" the alien whined.
"This is serious it involves more than just you. You know it's an entire universal deal.
"I'm well aware he's supposed to grow to command a force that will defend the planet from Frieza."
"Your misinformed his force will not be only humans, it will consist of members of hundreds of other races, all falling under him, along with the galactic patrol itself, all leading a raid on Frieza, not defending but going on the attack!" Jaco said with authority.
"Wait what…how the hell can anyone prepare for that!"
"Simple they get help from someone who's already doing it. I can't offer any teachers, but I can constantly review Kakarot's progress and offer tips. As well as providing a master when he's learned all this world can teach him!" Jaco finished as briefs finally stopped trying to close the door.
"Well, you might as well meet the kid. He's only 1 year old and he's already walking around and trying to take everything he can get his hands on apart, human or machine."
"Heh that sounds like a Saiyan alright." Jaco laughed nervously at the doctor. Hed hoped to catch tights instead of dr briefs but no such lucky.
"Anyways I drop by every once and a while to check on the brat. Il gets out of your hair for now." Jaco said leaving the area. As briefs slammed the door on him.
"What an old jerk"
"I HEARD THAT!"
And so, things kicked off for the Saiyan's. It was their time to shine, and prepare for the upcoming war.
Goku would learn to adapt very quickly to his new life, of training, and study. Doctor briefs may not really have cared about Kakarot growing up to become some great general. Mostly because he wasn't into all of that pre destination nonsense, but he did notice that it made the Saiyan boy beyond happy to do the work associated with the role. Both physical and mental. What he also noticed is, that while Kakarot, had an analytical and strategic mind, he was better suited as a tinkerer, and mechanic, or mechanical engineer, the theoretical, or academic applications of what he learned from the doctor bored him, he learned as much as he needed to make sure he could fix anything that broke on him, but if you asked him to do half the stuff his sister Bulma did, he call you crazy, even then Kakarot's prowess didn't lie inside the lab, he was good, but his true prowess lied on the battle field, that couldn't be proved any better than the day he meet master Roshi, the turtle hermit was disbelieving of how strong Kakarot truly was. And so, the day they meet was far more intriguing than most.
-three months after Kakarot's landing. -
The secretary called doctor briefs in his home lab letting him know a man was at the door claiming to be the great turtle hermit master Roshi. Here for the skyscraper sized stacks of cash that were promised if he came to live with and train a young boy in everything he knew. Doctor briefs took a puff from his pipe and headed down to the lobby, where he would see the turtle hermit master Roshi trying to hit on the obviously annoyed receptionist.
"well your restraining order says everything about you and more mister Roshi"
"Its master Roshi!"
"AH yeah mister master Roshi! Anyways...id like you to meet my new adoptive son, he's downstairs in his garage, so you'll have to follow me." Without saying much else doctor briefs headed back to the elevator master Roshi rushing to follow the man, and the elevator started heading for the garage floor of capsule corp. the soft hum on the way there, and the multiple dings told Roshi he was descending very deep very fast. As the speed picked up it almost felt as if the two men were going to be taken off of their feet. Just then it felt almost like the gravity was increasing with but it was just the elevator slowing down, with a loud woosh noise the door opens up to display a young Saiyan standing underneath the pod he arrived in, its being held up by a winch, system and the access panel is open displaying the futuristic looking engine, a young Kakarot stands beneath it hands covered in brownish soot from the engines fuel biproduct.
"Hey doc, this engine doesn't use regular combustion, it seems to run on condensed antimatter bombarded with concentrated promethium radiation. I.e., no tech on earth could recreate this effect. Considering there's only about .9 percent of earth's crust has trace amounts of promethium, you'd need to gather it all for the conversion process, however it probably we could build a ship around this, make it bigger, and use that to mine asteroids that may have enough promethium to synthesize an atomic battery capable of generating an intense enough field to charge the antimatter, and stabilize its volatile mass."
"Wordy little bastard isn't ya." Was roshis response to the boy that didn't even bother to look towards him, unfortunately, the second he opened his mouth Kakarot was on high alert, the rabid Saiyan boy spun fast and shot a beam, the pierced the air next to master Roshi. Roshi was shocked looking at the boy then to the burn mark made next to his head on the door to the elevator, then back to the young boy the eyes he found were not the eyes of a child, they were the eyes of a warrior.
In another world had Kakarot hit his head he would be a kinder and softer boy, he would have assimilated to act like a human, however he is not a human, he is a Saiyan an as such is a warrior, and with his tuffle blood from his mother's side, and doctor brief giving him access to everything he needed to learn. An intelligent one at that.
In those eyes Roshi found no mercy for jokes, no second chance for a diversion tactic. This boy would kill him if he didn't assure him, he wasn't a threat.
"Ahh young one there's no need for blasts. I am the great turtle hermit master Roshi. Your adoptive father has told me you had great talent as a warrior, and I've seen firsthand he wasn't exaggerating, I honestly believe that you are stronger than me in raw power, however there are a few things you will need training in that I have no problem teaching you. you would have to come to my island."
"No, you will teach me here or I will find another master, earth is full of weaklings my power is far beyond any, many can show me what you can, though only I or my brother give you the opportunity for prestige as my master."
"Arrogant little." Roshi starts but noticed the grimace on Kakarot's face. And decided not to push it. man, this kid was going to be one hell of a negotiator one day.
"Uh fine. You make a lot of sense. Roshi tacked on and felt the room calm down drastically.
"Then it is a pleasure to meet you Roshi-sensei. Please teach me everything you can." Kakarot said in a perfectly pleasant a calm voice. Just then the elevator woodshed again, and a blond woman stepped out. She had permed hair, and bombshell d cup chest. An hour glass figure, and tight blue pants. She was of course attractive she was also Kakarot's adoptive mother.
Roshi of course having no self-control even in situations that are sure to get him killed, walked up to the woman and introduced himself.
"Well, hell lo ho they never mentioned a lady as gorgeous as you down hear." Roshi leaned closer to the obviously oblivious woman, making a groping gesture with his hand, just then he felt something warm on his back it was Kakarot's hand.
"Master while it would be disrespectful to threaten you. please understand that your health depends on whether or not you act decently around my mother and sister." Kakarot said in an almost saccharine and sinister voice. One that didn't match him that much. But got his point across. Soon Kakarot's hand started glowing, and Roshi backed off.
-meanwhile back on mount Paozu-
Raditz dodged a kick meant for his chest, he would usually tank it or form his arms in a cross, but Gohan told him that if he planned on going up against enemies strong than he was then he needed to work on his evasive and opportunistic fighting style, rather than sticking to the brutish up front fighting style that didn't really suit his cautious personality.
Most fighters on earth use either an adaptive, or combative style. Some use special styles they adopted from dojos or their area of the planet, Gohan is a master of all of these styles. and considering Raditz personality and who he may be facing some time in the future, Gohan can only see one style that would work for Raditz, its brutal, its vicious, and it's designed for one thing, to end your opponent, after debating whether or not he would teach this style to anyone, especially a child. He decided on it. If the boy was serious about becoming the king of a warrior race. Then he would need the ability to keep stronger warriors in line without the help of his elite guard. He would teach Raditz the assassination style. Very few people know, that for a small time after Gohan left Roshi, and climbed korins tower, Gohan did abuse his power, with his knowledge of ki control. he created a style that made him one of the deadliest men on the planet, an assassin's style with it he became one of the most fearsome mercenaries, as such he was challenged by mercenary Tao, he threatened Gohan to tell him the secret to this technique but Gohan refused, an in the end barely escaped with his life, the technique was deadly, it could handle those stronger than you for sure. However, if said enemy can avoid your strikes or knows about your attacks beforehand it's pretty much useless. However, it was perfect for fighters who had an access of ki in their bodies, the general principal was to convert you own ki into a sickly black ki, and force it into an opponent's body. After that it would pollute their ki. Run through their body causing extremely quick necrosis. The physical parts of this style were simple, it focused on evasion and quick strikes with ki covered hands, blasts were not utilized in the slightest.
"Alright that's enough you've managed to get your evasion ingrained in your subconscious, now I'll be showing you the different states you can convert you ki to. now the states in which you can convert ki is limitless, as such it has limitless potential. Now the few states I have mastered are healing, red hot, ice cold, electric, and condensed."
"Condensed?"
"It's the base form of ki but condensed enough that it doesn't dissipate when leaving the body, unfortunately it requires a large amount of ki, so I tend not to use it that much, waves are generally considered better than blasts anyways due to the fact you can continue the output of damage." Gohan answered the confused boy as he walked over to a circle of 5 logs on the ground. Theres a large stack of logs further away. And Gohan saunters up to the only stump that still has a few roots left in it.
"Now you'll watch me closely and emulate the different states I force my ki into, once you can copy the reactions I can create with easy, you'll be ready for the next step of your training." Gohan chucked as placed his hands on the stump pressing the roots firmly to the ground.
"Now this is the healing state of ki. It's useful but underutilized due to the simple fact that its use in one-on-one battle is thought to be limited" Raditz didn't miss that Gohan said thought to be limited, he never said that it was actually limited. His thoughts though were soon shut down as Gohan laid his glowing white hands on the stump, and soon new roots grew from those that were shoved into the dirt, they spready quickly, and soon the base of the stump started to grow up again, almost like magic a bare pillar of wood shot to the sky, and multiple branches shot out of the base of the tree spreading in all different directions rapidly growing new leaves, until in front of Raditz very eyes a new and large oak tree grew from the tree stump.
"That's a little bit of what you can do with healing ki." Gohan said cockily, however Raditz while impressed didn't really care too much for healing, he was a warrior meant more for killing than healing. Being honest he would probably use this state the least. However, Gohan sauntered to the next stump. Placing his hand on it. In a quick flash of yellow, crisscross lines appeared on the stump, and then it split in half right where Gohan's hand was. It was so quick so precise so dangerous that Raditz almost missed it.
"That my boy is electrified ki, this state is a lot harder to control than even healing ki. However, its area of effect, and piercing power make it a great combat usage." Gohan continued his explanation but didn't break his stride to the next log. Placing his hand down on it. His hand turned a cool blue, and in seconds the tree froze over with ice.
"This my boy is ice cold ki. If your enemy is physically stronger than you. its rubbish as you could never make a layer thick enough to immobilize them but for weaker opponents, or maybe just slowing down evenly matched opponents it's definitely a good one." Gohan spoke as he walked to the next log his hand charging up and ball of ki, and then aiming his hand out he blasts it, it explodes into mulch.
"That was condensed ki, you already know how that works so ill move on to the other."
Gohan continued as he strolled to the next stump already his hands were glowing red with anticipation, this was the one he least liked as it had a tendency to mess with his hands a bit. He laid his hands directly on top on the log and in a split second it went up in flames and turned to ash all in the blink of an eye.
"This is red hot ki. It's a pain, and a very useful skill to have you can increase your own power with this ki, or torch anything you touch, however it has the adverse effect of dehydrating or burning you if you lose control."
"Hmm, humans may be weak but are truly some of the most versatile warriors in the galaxy." Raditz said absentmindedly getting a laugh from Gohan.
"Come boy we have training to do. It will take you a while to get to the point you're ready to use all of these different states in combat, after you reach that point there will be very few that can face you in head on battle, and when i teach you the ultimate move for this fighting style. You will understand why I stopped using it." Gohan finished ominously, but placed his hand on Raditz should taking him to another circle of logs.
