Unlike the other souls escorted to their circle of Paradise, Goku, King Kai and Newone were placed on a second-rate airplane, with the seats half broken or completely missing and which constantly wobbled, something of which the Saiyan did not fail to point out complain.

- Our plane is a wreck... Why did we have to take this one? Ugh! I wanted to travel on one of the modern ones, with nice hostesses... -, the dark-haired man sank backwards onto the dilapidated seats, under the bored gaze of Newone, who, despite the enthusiasm of the journey, still harbored a trace of dislike for the young man.

- Be grateful that at least we are traveling comfortably. The alternative would have been to fly and believe me that the distance to cover is quite a lot - the blond retorted, then returning to look outside, eager to see the panorama that would soon emerge below them.

In fact, after a few seconds, they flew over what seemed like a sparkling sea of lights, with blue and green shades studded with stars: Paradise!

Newone's eyes lit up with joy and wonder; he had seen Paradise from the inside in his own way, but this was the first time he had witnessed that completely different perspective, having never flown over the skies.

It was a wonderful sight!

Even Goku seemed thrilled and even King Kai pressed his face against the glass to enjoy the show and to show Goku the point where they would soon land: the planet of Grand Master King Kai!

While those two continued to talk to each other, Newone paid no attention to them, too busy with the idea of visiting that unknown planet for the first time; he felt a slight anxiety to tell the truth, it had never happened that a being from the Underworld had gone so far beyond the borders.

Not that he had never gone beyond... certain restrictions, breaking some rules without anyone noticing, but this time it wasn't one of his usual "escapades". This time he was about to meet another Heavenly being, and not just any Kai, but even the Grand Master!

What would have happened if he had let something slip by accident...?

Their plane fortunately landed without a hitch, so the 3 travelers were finally able to walk through Grand Master King Kai's territory; the first thing that both Goku and Newone did not fail to notice was that everywhere there were fighters of every race, gender and planet in the Northern Galaxy who were training assiduously. Many of them, seeing King Kai, did not fail to greet him cordially and pay him their respects, which particularly surprised Goku; when the monarch then revealed to him that unlike him they had about 2,300 years more experience, the young Saiyan froze in place astonished and made such a shocked face that Newone couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it.

- What did you expect? King Kai is an eternal being, as old as Heaven. It is more than normal that during all these years many have attracted his attention enough to have the privilege of becoming his students -, Newone explained to him, still with an amused smile on his face.

- Oh yeah...that's true...er, Newone, right? -, Goku smiled back at him, not bothering to hide his embarrassment at being caught red-handed in that little gaffe.

The blond nodded, regaining his composure and returning to walk in front of him.

- Yep, that's my name. And... you're Goku, huh? King Kai didn't have the chance to properly introduce us since you ran off towards the planes without waiting for him -. In that sentence the Saiyan did not fail to notice a slight note of reproach in his behavior, but he was not offended by it.

- Yes, I admit that when I get excited I tend to do my own thing. It's just that I'm anxious to meet the Grand Master and witness his strength - he admitted with a smile, also continuing to walk next to the blond, taking advantage of that proximity to observe him better: he was at least 10 cm taller than him (according to the web Goku is 1.75 cm tall), but he certainly didn't look more than 19 or 20 years old. He had a well-trained physique, a straight posture and a proud look, but which hid a mischievous light that he had noticed earlier when he burst out laughing.

He wanted to ask him if he too was a pupil of King Kai, but at that very moment the monarch, having finally arrived in front of the house (or rather, the palace, given the size of the building) of the Grand Master; even Newone couldn't hold back a whistle of admiration.

- Finally I have the pleasure of meeting the strongest guy in the Afterlife, that's amazing! -, Goku began after showing his appreciation for the place, unleashing yet another lecture from King Kai on his good manners: - When will you stop using those terms? If you continue to disrespect him I WILL BE THE ONE who ends up in trouble, is that clear? -.

- Excuse me but is this Kaio really that strong? -, Goku however didn't seem to understand his mistake, which only made the monarch more angry.

Newone, who remained behind them, let out a resigned sigh, going back to ignoring them and observing the surroundings: there was no denying it, the place was truly magnificent, with a huge avenue lined with gardens kept in perfect condition. The walls, of a pure white, perfectly reflected the natural light of Paradise, making the palace appear even more luminous and luxurious.

The young man took a few steps towards the main entrance, intending to try to take a look inside the building which despite everything did not have an entrance door, when a voice behind them took them all by surprise.

- AAAH! BUT YOU ARE...! -.

Everyone present turned towards the direction from which the voice came... and Newone understood with a shudder that he would soon end up in trouble!
