The Other World

"Please approach the check-in station in an orderly fashion, no shoving or cutting in line!" A small blue man in a business suit with a megaphone said as a line of luminous blue-white balls passed along a highway build above the clouds. "Hey, you that's enough you get back in your place right now!" He ordered a ball that tried to cut in line. "Move along, proceed in an orderly fashion, no shaving!" The road led to an East Asian style temple with five green pagoda type towers the middle tower is by far the largest,

Inside of his castle, the great King Yama, Lord of the Dead, had been briefed by his underlings regarding the Saiyan situation. "That is where we stand right now King Yama. The other two Saiyans who work for Frieza are headed towards Earth. For this reason, we humbly ask you to allow Goku to seek training from King Kai himself, with your permission of course. I fear there is little hope for our planet unless Goku receives King Kai's training." Kami said his head bowed respectfully. Besides him stood Goku a halo over Goku's head indicated his deceased status.

"Hmmm, Goku, well, you certainly have a service record which merits letting you attempt to reach King Kai. And you did sacrifice your life selflessly to foil the scheme of that pest Darkseid by stopping his agents from devastating Earth with the Tree of Might. But are you truly prepared to travel along Snake Way? The journey shall be a long and arduous one you could nay you probably will fail. Tell me are you ready to face such an unforgiving challenge, Goku?." King Yama said. King Yama was an enormous red-skinned bearded man with horns dressed in a business suit he sat behind an equally enormous desk flanked by his blue-skinned underlings who also wore formal business attire.

"Yes, King Yama he is," Kami answered for Goku.

"Is he, now," King Yama said. King Yama looked through a stack of papers for a moment Goku's quest seemingly of little immediate concern to him.

"Hey does everyone end up here when they die, Kami?" Goku asked seemingly unconcerned with King Yama's dire warnings.

"That's right?" Kami said annoyed by Goku's interruption.

"Everyone, huh?" Goku persisted.

"Yes, everyone comes to this check-in station and King Yama and his agents decide what to do with them after that," Kami said gritting his sharp teeth. "Now be quiet," Kami snapped.

"Is this guy strong? If so, maybe I should train with him instead of King Kai? What do you think Kami?" Goku babbled on.

"King Yama is much to busy to take pupils, plus King Kai is much stronger than him," Kami whispered to Goku.

"I heard that Kami you little weasel! I'll keep what you just said in mind when I pass judgment upon you!" King Yama roared glancing up from his paperwork which he then set aside.

"Aw, sorry sir I had no idea your ears were so big er I mean sensitive," Kami said flustered. "What I meant to say was I ah..."

"Kami you're starting to bug me," King Yama warned with a scowl.

"Ah sorry, sir," Kami said apologetically.

"Well, I'll forgive you this time." King Yama said. "As for you Goku." He pointed at the dead Saiyan. "You can try to reach King Kai if you really want to, although I'd advise against trying as many have failed in the attempt."

"Thanks, King Yama," Goku said a huge smile on his face which quickly faded to a deep frown.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy I granted your request?" King Yama asked puzzled by Goku's sudden change of attitude.

"It's just me and Carri have done everything together up until now. I miss her. It doesn't feel right going on a big adventure without my sparring partner." Goku said his eyes downcast.

"Ah yes, your wife the Human-Kryptonian girl. You'll have to do without her this time as I can't bring her here until she dies." King Yama said. "Wait outside, I'll send a guide to help you on your way soon. Oh, and Goku be very careful not to fall off Snake Way. Should you fall off there's no coming back even I won't be able to help you then." Goku gulped at the ominous warning.

"Goku stick to it. Don't let Snake Way ware on your mind. Remember what's a stake for all of us and Earth." Kami advised.

"While I'm not really sure what to expect I'll do my best. Kami could you do me another favor?" Goku said.

"Of course," Kami said.

"Tell my family I love them and Carri that I wish we could train with King Kai together," Goku said.

"I'm honored to pass on your regards to them," Kami said with a sincere smile.

"So long Kami," Goku waved as he ran out the door. "I'll come back strong enough to stop those evil Saiyans. Let Carri, Gohan, Raditz, and all our friends know I promise I won't fail and that I'll come back with some cool new techniques I can share."

"I will," Kami said waving at the departing Goku.
