4. Chapter 4: Training Montage (1/2)

chapter 4- i'm here too! *pop*

huff, huff.

"man, keeping up with you is hard, master roshi."

"it's you're own fault. you started out stronger than me yamcha, but you didn't bother keeping up with me," said the perverted martial arts master. "now, how about we practice the kamehameha?"

"wow master roshi, you really have been working hard to train!" exclaimed the desert bandit.

*clonk* "of course you idiot," said kamesennin, pulling his staff away from yamcha's head. "our lives may depend on how strong we are by the time of the tenkaichi budokai in a year and a half."

"yeah, i guess that is a pretty good reason to make me stronger." yamcha gave a nervous laugh, scratching the back of his head.

"heeya!" yelled a woman, in a blue chinese dress. she landed from her kick as a tree came crashing down. her face was covered in sweat as she spin kicked another tree, honing her physical strength. 'how does goku make this look so easy? he was so strong when i met him.'

"owwww..." goku said, landed on his butt after getting knocked down. "heh heh. you're really strong kami. even without my weighted clothing, you're beating me."

"yes, well, i was stronger than you and my other half in his youth before having my own youth restored. it makes sense you would be surpassed by me."

"heheh, yeah. well, eventually, i'm gonna beat you with my weighted clothing still on. i'll become the strongest kami, and i'll beat piccolo!" said goku, getting a second wind. "let's go again kami."

"no goku, i think that's enough for today. you should rest. i don't want you to overdo it because you were excited to see my power. get some rest and start training again tomorrow."

"does that mean i can go eat?" asked goku, his face containing a quizzical look.

"if it will get you to rest for today, then yes," answered kami.

"alrigth!" goku immediately hopped up and ran to the palace.

'even though i kept beating him, he kept getting up. he may not have been as strong, but he was wearing me down. much more, and he may have been able to match me. almost.' thought kami. 'he may be able to defeat piccolo daimao.'

"kikoho!"

"dodn ray!"

"volleyball fist!"

tien dodged the golden geometrically impossible beam one his copies shot, why deflecting the thin gold beam of another. as the third rushed him to hit him with sports themed attack, he grabbed its fist and flipped it over him, slamming it into the ground. with two defeated, one by the original tien, and another by simply exhausting its life force via kikohos, the third took a battle stance. a pale white dwarf telekinetically threw the took defeated clones into the two remaining warriors, merging back into them, restoring them to half of tien's maximum power.

"hnnnrrgghhh..." grunted a small man, with 6 dots on his head. he held one hand 'high' above his head, creating a small golden orbs. he slowly made a wide circle above his head, leaving a thin golden circle. he began to pouring more energy into it, making it become shaped like a washed for a bolt. he tried to add more power, to make is a full disc, but the attack began to

eak up, unable to be held together in the shape it was. "aww... and i thought i'd pull it off that time." exhaling, the dwarf looked out at the his place on the shore of roshi's island, he could see a whirlpool.

"huh... a whirlpool... that's it!" the dwarf hopped up, figuring out how to improve his attack.

"kikoho!" screamed tien, launching a massive golden beam from hands. 'why did i even start calling it the tri-beam?'

far away, tens of boulders were being flung up, into the path of the beam with perfect accuracy.

"hey tien, i'm getting much better at my telekinesis," called chiaotzu. "i wonder if i could block a dodon ray with it?"

"wanna try and find out, chiaotzu?" responded the triclops.

"sure. fire away." tien stretched out his right arm, his index finger extended. from it, he launched a golden beam aim a meter or so to the left of his friend. about a foot before it would've passed by chiaotzu, it exploded, as if it had hit a wall it couldn't

eak. "i did it tien!"

"that's pretty good chiaotzu. at the tenkaichi budokai, you could probably fight off piccolo's demon spawn without even being anywhere in the action," suggested tien, hoping chiaotzu might take the idea to heart."
