Foreword: Man power levels are difficult to work with, I get that Toriyama doesn't overly care about them but they do give a decent guideline of combat (the Raditz fight being a solid example). At least in this fic the Saiyans and Half Saiyans won't be the only people relevant and Krillin is the strongest human in the Z fighters. Oh well, on with the fanfiction.
After the news of a threat coming in 3 years, every fighter decided to put in a bit more effort in their training, Vegeta getting a gravity chamber that can go past 100x Earth's gravity from and Bulma, the latter of whom gaining more favor with the Saiyan Prince and becoming pregnant with his child within the 1st year of android preperation, a blue-haired boy named Trunks. Bulma would occasionally give the baby boy a thoughtful look before shaking it off and continuing her day.
Bulma: "...I swear this kid looks like the guy who beat King Cold...Maybe..."
With the humans, they were working on getting to higher and higher levels of Mastered Kaioken with Krillin working on 10x, Tien working on 8x, Chiaotzu on 6x and Yamcha working on 5x. Krillin figured he could beat 2nd form Frieza and that he could face 3rd form Frieza but he would be stomped by Frieza's final form. Still, Krillin was happy with his progress and the progress of his fellow humans.
Krillin: "Man, the Kaioken technique is awesome! If we had this when Vegeta and Nappa came to Earth, we would have stomped them"
Tien: "It isn't just the Kaioken, the Spirit Control training made us way stronger too and helped with mastering Kaioken."
Chiaotzu: "Helped with my Telekinesis too!"
Yamcha: "It's still crazy how Goku got a transformation of alien legend then Gohan did too! It's wild! Hell I can sense them training right now!"
Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and Bansuri decided to train as a group, everyone being within a league of each other with Mastered Kaioken used to contend with the Super Saiyans, everyone got very respectable gains. Goku and Gohan continued to refine the Super Saiyan form and make it more efficient with the hope of being able to put the entirety of the Super Saiyan power boost into the fight instead of the form itself while Bansuri and Piccolo reached higher levels of Mastered Kaioken, Bansuri and Piccolo hitting the 20x multiplier.
Goku: "Man, I might be a Super Saiyan but you're still able to really knock me for a loop. Are you sure you're not a Super Namekian?"
Piccolo: (Smirk) "No, just a Namekian that put in the effort"
Bansuri and a Super Saiyan Gohan passed by while sparing.
Bansuri: "I imagine the fusion with Nail certainly helped. My fusion with Guru is certainly helping me right now"
Gohan: "That and your skills as a fighter"
Bansuri: "Fair point"
Bansuri and Gohan got back into fully focusing on the training, making their respective father proud of the progress that has been made and how well they have taken to training. They didn't know how strong the Androids were but if they were stronger than Super Saiyan like the time traveler described, they would need to go beyond Super Saiyan. Maybe they should master Super Saiyan first before aiming to go beyond it. Bansuri managed to slug Gohan in the face hard enough to send them into a rockface only confirming the thought.
Goku: 'Yup, we need to get a full handle on Super Saiyan before pushing it further'.
The thought was then followed by Piccolo kicking Goku in the stomach then spinning around to ax-kick the back of Goku's head, only barely being dodged while recoiling from the high impact stomach ache. Goku put his focus back on the fight and all the Saiyans and Namekians vanished from standard sight, moving too quickly to be seen with the impacts getting more intense as training continued, leading into a free for all fight.
Will the training be enough to combat the coming threat? Find out next time on Some Help.
BONUS SCENE! Drive you crazy
Chi-chi: "You need a licence Goku!"
This declaration brought confusion on the faces of Goku, Piccolo and Bansuri, the fighters looking at each other to decide who would speak up with Bansuri being elected to represent the combat inclined.
Bansuri: "Chi-chi... Every male in the room knows how to both fly and teleport, with our teleportation having a range large enough to hop to Yardrat and back. For the record your son Gohan is included in that assessment".
Chi-chi: "It's not just for transport! What if you need identification? Do you have any photo ID?"
Bansuri: "No."
Chi-chi: "Am I right to assume your father doesn't either?"
Bansuri: "Yes."
Chi-chi: "Then you ALL need licences!"
Bansuri was tempted to bring up his and his father's age but a prior arguement with Chi-chi made that logic unusable, lest he be a hypocrite. None of the fighters could come up with an arguement that would sufficiently dissuade Chi-chi so all of them set out to get licences.
Goku was wearing a red hawaiian shirt and blue slacks with yellow and white shoes, Piccolo was forced into a gastly yellow and purple shirt and jeans with blue and white sneakers, topped off with a blue and yellow hat with Goku's name on it which was worn backward. Bansuri however had the sense to see Chi-chi coming and conjured a repectable outfit for himself, the younger Namekian opting for black tailored trousers, a white long sleeved button-up collared shirt with a black vest and black suit jacket topped with a black fedora.
Chi-chi: "Oh! How dapper! Ahem! Now go get a licence!"
Deciding that the arguement wasn't worth it, our 3 heroes undertake a new trial: The driver's ed course. Goku, Bansuri and Piccolo went to the driving school and after getting a lesson, they waited for their instructors.
The first to arrive was announced by the squeeling of brakes making the Namekians wince when the instructer came to a sudden stop. The instructor was a woman with curly red hair in a blue suit with a red tie, the uniform of the establishment, and a pleasent smile.
The next instructor to arrive was more subdued with the car slowly driving to where it needs to go and stopping, revealing an elderly man with pattern baldness making the top of his head bald but with white hair circling around it. He also had a white mustache and a sleepy look on his face.
The last instructor to arrive smoothly turned in to the area and in a flowing motion parked in the designated area. Stepping out of the vehicle was a woman with curly dark brown hair and light brown complexion with a gentle smile on her face.
Red-haired Instructer: "Hello! I'm Cynthia, which one of you is Piccolo?"
Piccolo raises his hand.
Cynthia: "Great! How about you come over here and hop in?"
Piccolo nods and walks over to his teacher.
Elderly Intructor: "I'm Yuzukar and I'm supposed to teach a 'Geku'?"
Goku: "It's Goku and that's me!"
Yuzukar: "Ah! My apologies! How's about you come with me and we can get started?"
Goku left with the elderly human, leaving Bansuri alone with his instructor.
Brunette instuctor: "I'm guessing you're Bansuri? My name is Janet, and I'll be your teacher for today."
Bansuri was about to politely thank Janet but was interupted by the sound of Cynthia reving the hovercar then launching away like she was participating in a race, Piccolo shouting in terror as he's driven away at top speed.
Bansuri: "...Thank you Janet, I am in your care" 'And I pray that you will be alright father'
The 3 fighters had very different experiences in their respective lessons, Goku was bored out of his mind due to his instructor driving so slowly and droning on about things Goku couldn't recall.
Piccolo was terrified by being flown at high speeds and swerving, not realizing how frightening high speed flight was when you weren't the one in control of your own body moving through space.
Bansuri had a very educational and smooth ride, the teacher driving at the speed limit and smoothly working the controls. Bansuri read the mind of his instructor to make sure he got as much information on driving as he could and found that Janet wanted to be a teacher of children, the conversation eventually moving in that direction with Bansuri encouraging her to go for the vocation if she truely wanted it.
This pleasent conversation would be interupted by a big explosion as both Goku and Piccolo crashed their cars while racing each other when they got their turn at driving. Needless to say, Chi-chi was less than impressed with Goku and Piccolo for the stunt they pulled and impressed that Bansuri got his licence on the first go.
Bansuri: "My instructor Janet asked me to call her some time but I don't have a phone. Is there extra lessons over the phone?"
Chi-chi: "...How do can someone look so intimidating but be so adorable at the same time?"
Bansuri: "Huh?"
