Day One: Discovery
I put my hands behind my back and gathered energy. “…KAMEHAAA…” The energy grew. “…MEHHH…” It was ready! “…HAAAA!” I thrust my hands forward, releasing the energy beam. It dug into the mountain. I pushed more energy into the beam. The mountain exploded from afar. I stood up straight and let the force of the blast push by me, pushing my hair back. I looked back to see Chibi Trunks and Shou sparring. Goten was being shown by Saron, how to punch correctly. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist. “I have no time for this! I will finish the rest of the Elements without your training!” I yelled and powered up. Saron looked over to me. I flew up, out of the castle but was stopped by Saron. He phased in front of me. “You have no chance of defeating those four.” He said and frowned at me. “Four? No, not four. Three are left!” I said with a smirk. His eyes widened. “You killed one! How? Which one?” he demanded. “I killed Wind. Don’t look so worried, it was luck not power. Now out of my way!” I tried to get past him but he hit me and I flew to the ground. I skidded across the ground and made a dent in a wall. “I’ve heard they have an army. You’ll be overwhelmed. You will stay. You will train. And you will become as strong as me, maybe even stronger, if you have to.” I was in shock. How could I become stronger than him? I stood up and dust off my battle worn jacket. “Fine but if you waste anymore of my time, I will leave.” I threatened. He nodded and then phased by me. “Everyone follow me.” He commanded. We followed. I was the last to follow. We went down a hall. When we reached the end, I noticed we were outside the castle. In the back was a forest like area with a little house on the back. Some trees were dyeing. Really strange during this time of year. “I have reason to belief someone is growing a Tree of Might some were on earth. See that giant stump over there…” he pointed to a tree stump the size of a mansion, far from the forest area. “Whats a Tree of Might?” Chibi Trunks asked. “It’s a gigantic tree that sucks the living energy from the planet into a bunch of red fruit that boosts up your power. They are really tough to destroy because they can probably take your strongest energy blast. That is an old useless one. But it’s happening again…some were.” Saron said gloomily. I was in shock. That big tree I was punching a week ago…that has to be it…not fully grown. I gritted my teeth and said, “I know were it is.” Saron turned to me, shocked. “How?” I smiled, “A week ago, I was punching this extremely strong tree. It could take everything I dished out.” Saron nodded then said, “I want you four to find it…then destroy it. It is weakest when you shoot from a platform like area, way up high, below the leaves. I warn you, don’t let the maker of it eat the fruit. Its best if you guys go now.” An hour later we got our supplies ready and 3 senzu beans from Saron. I buckled my sword across my back. We all left north, high above the clouds. It started to grow night, so I decided that we camped in a sheltered area because it was about to rain. We all flew under a ridge. I zapped up a fire with a fireball. Shou and I took first watch, talking about who the owner of the tree was. We had guesses but we couldn’t decide on a good one. I went to sleep…or tried to as the ‘children’ took watch…more like a damn playing hour!Day Two: Home Cooked Meal
I woke up and we ate some food. “This is good. Were did you find this egg, Goten?” I asked taking another helping. He closed his eyes, smiled and said, “Me and Trunks found a bunch of giant eggs in a chickens nest.” Shou and me stopped eating. “Goten…chickens don’t have nests…” Shou said suddenly. “Well then what do?” Chibi Trunks asked after gulping down a spoon full. The earth shook as we heard stomping and then the trees started to fall down. Then two giant flying dinosaurs. ”Uh oh.” Goten and Trunks said. “Watch out guys! There big and angry!” Shou shouted. “They look mad,” Goten said. The two birds look to the side, saw Goten and roared. “There after you little man, you’re on your own.” I said with a smirk. Shou and I took cover behind trees. Trunks handed Goten the two last eggs and hid. Goten held up the eggs to the dinos. “No hard feelings?” There was a swoosh and the eggs were taken from Goten. Goten smiled but stopped as the blue one roared in his face. Goten’s hair flew back and his eyes widened. The dinosaurs flew away. “That was funny.” I said and gathered the supplies. Chibi Trunks chuckled. Shou was laughing as well. Goten was disappointed and upset when we left. A long as hell flight later, we were flying over White Fire’s military base. It was abandoned. It was also starting to rain. “We’ll take a break here.” I said and went inside…only to find Kusanagi. I clenched my fists and glared at him. Shou looked at me, looked at Kusanagi, then got in a fighting stance. Goten took a step back. Chibi Trunks got in a fighting stance as well. Kusanagi laughed. “Did you…absorb people here? I mean, you are a demon.” I asked. He stopped laughing and looked insulted. “If I did, little man, I would far stronger than even you.” He said while pointing at me. I smirked. “It would take a lot more for you to become stronger than me.” There was a little stand off. Kusanagi put his fists on his hips and smiled, “Tell you what. I’ll tell you were they went and you let me tag along with you guys…just for me to get stronger.” There was a long pause and then I smiled. “OK. You got a deal.” I said. “They went to go fight an army of androids at a Tree of Might. A Tree of Might…a perfect opportunity for me to get stronger.” I was in shock at the mention of androids. “So that’s what Water meant by bigger fish to fry.” I mumbled. I wiped all expression from my face as Kusanagi asked, “What did you say?” I looked him in the eye. “We rest here tonight. I keep watch…all night. Kusanagi you stay were I can see you.” I said and he leaned against a wall. “Fine by me.” Kusanagi said while the other got their rest. “See you in the morn’…” Kusanagi chuckled and slumped down.Day Three: The Army
We left the base when the sun came up. All five us following the military. A few hours later, we saw a big dust trail. Tanks, jeeps, and infantry all going where we were heading. A few of them were flying. White Fire was leading the way. “Stay here. Watch Kusanagi.” I ordered the others and flew down. They looked at Kusanagi and Kusanagi just laughed evil. I flew down, next to White Fire. She was shocked, angry, and afraid at the same time. “Your going were we are going. I’ll keep it simple. My team watches your army’s back, your army watches my team’s back.” I said. She looked up behind her to see the others. “Alright…what are the other conditions?” She was getting smarter. “See the one that’s red. That guy can become really powerful if he absorbs people through his hands. If we’re fighting the androids I know, then we’re gonna need a power almost as strong as me.” She was about to get angry but I said, “Not your soldiers...well actually, the ones that will slowly be dyeing…just to put them out of there misery.” She was under deep thought. “Alright but if you or him try anything, Im gonna kill the both of you. We’re gonna be camping ahead.” She said. I nodded and flew up with the others. “We camp soon with those guys. Kusanagi, if you try anything, your dead.” He nodded, smiling. Later that night, I was walking through the camp. Chibi Trunks was beating a bunch of soldiers at cards while Goten was playing with the attack dogs. Shou was meditating far from the camp. The dogs growled when I came by. Kusanagi was trying to get a few soldiers closer to where he was jailed. I blasted Kusanagi with a fireball and he slammed into the back of the cage. “Stay away from him if you want to spend eternity in a living hell.” They ran away. White Fire came up and walked with me. “Who are these guys you’re with?” she asked with a smile. “The two children and the namek are students under an unknown martial arts teacher. The demon is a horrible monster that is tagging along.” I said. “Oh.” She said. She then left. I walked out of the camp and waited for sunrise.
Day Four: A Tree of Might
We headed out. We started going across dead grass and then dirt. It was hours and then we saw it, over the hill. The Tree of Might, in the middle of a dried out forest. We went into the forest and attacked. The soldiers were firing at the oncoming androids. I kicked an android’s face and felt the head cave in as the body slammed into the ground. Soldiers were being blasted and killed in one blow. The fighters White Fire trained actually were doing well against the mechanical menaces. Goten slammed into an android with his head, killing it instantly. Shou was busy firing energy beams at the androids. Chibi Trunks was zooming all over the battlefield, blocking androids about to kill a soldier then destroying it with a fireball. Kusanagi grabbed an android’s hand and crushed it as he was absorbing a dyeing soldier. He then ripped off its head after he was done. White Fire punched one in the face and spin kicked another upside the head, taking out both. I had enough of the androids pouring out of the dead forest. The tanks fired the machine guns rattled; I gathered energy for a Kamehameha. Everyone stopped as a white flame came around me. I started to gather energy. Some android’s eyes blew out, killing them instantly as they read my energy. “…Kamehamehaaa!” I thrust my hands forward, releasing the energy blast. It dug deep into the forest, taking out many androids. The blast thunked into the tree. The dust cleared leaving a paved trail for us to the tree. But the tree didn’t even have a scratch. A few minutes later, the androids were defeated…for now and we headed to the tree…just at the sunrise.
