Start Of Training

Akira POV

I'm drowning. as I wake up, I pull up, and cough, regaining my bearings. I look around, only to see Piccolo towering over me. It takes me a few second, but I soon remember what happened. I feel regret and sadness wash over me.

I look around, only so see Gohan no we're around. I feel my fear and worry flair, and ask in a demanding voice

Me: "Where is Gohan!?".

I see him chuckle, and my worry grows. he crosses his arms, and responds with

Piccolo: "He should be a few hundred miles from here, starting his survival training."

I freeze as I realize that I wouldn't be with Gohan during his training. My worry for Gohan reaches new heights, and I ask fearfully

Me: "Why am I here."

I am pretty sure I know why, but I have to play along. I take stock of were I am, noticing that it's a wasteland, very similar to Gohan's if my memory is correct. I notice that I am currently in the only pond as far as I can see.

Piccolo: "I'll be honest with you, your father is dead, he sacrificed himself to save Earth. 2 more Saiyans are coming to Earth, much stronger that the one that kidnapped you. I have brought you out hear to train your hidden power."

I suddenly remember my hidden power activated, and I grow conflicted. The logical and emotional parts of my brain clash. My Logical side pointed out that I only used the power to hurt the bad guy, but my emotional part points out how I shouldn't have hurt someone to begin with, and how my power has always hurt someone Uncared about before this.

Luckily Piccolo snaps me out of it, saying

Piccolo: "I can sense you already know of your power, but for some reason you fear it. I'll make this clear, if you can't get strong and learn to use that power, The Saiyans are going to destroy the planet, including your mother, and brother. "

I know that's not true. I can not help at all and everything will turn out fine. But I still remember that everyone but Krillin and Gohan would die. They may be wished back, but they still died. If I can help, if I can save someone, shouldn't I do so?

But I don't know these people, not truly. I know their characters, what they are like on TV, but this is real. In my old life, I never cared about anything but my family and few friends. But as I grew up in this life, I have grown to care more, and I can't stomach the idea of just letting them die.

Piccolo: "So I will train you to fight, but first, for the next 6 months, you will survive on your own, don't worry, their are plenty of animals and a few lakes in this desert, but it's up to you to find them. I will see you in 6 months. "

suddenly he blasts into the air, and in a few seconds he's out of view. I stand their, not knowing what to do. Well I fist have to find shelter right? But It could be a while before I find somewhere to stay.

I look to to see it's still a bit until sunset, so I would guess I have an hour or 2 to find shelter. I start heading in a random direction, hoping to find a cave or something. But I soon find that after half an hour, I found nothing, and was completely exhausted, due to the heat of the sun.

I flop on the ground with a groan, and go through my memories of Dad's teachings. I couldn't find anything available, but I realize the best chance I have to building a perfect base was to get strong enough to use Ki better, then carve out a place to stay. I drag myself back to the lake.

I gulp down water, while my stomach aches. I see the water tipple a bit, until suddenly a crocodile looking animal jumps at me. I instinctively jump back, just dodging getting my face bit off.

I stand shocked for a second, before regaining my senses, and gulping. I know that thing is my best chance for food. I use my Ki sense, to tract the thing. my Ki sense is unrefined but it does the job. I start gathering what ki I can, into a small ball between my hands.

As a half Saiyan, I am a natural at controlling my energy, and can do so easily, another perk of being a Saiyan. I gather as much energy as I could without fainting, and when the creature stops moving, I throw the ball of energy at it.

it wasn't more then a basic Ki blast, but that was enough. One cannot underestimate the pure destructive power of Ki. Even with my pathetically low reserves, with my Ki fully unlocked and powered with Saiyan biology, even with my shitty control, the force of my blast was enough to kill the creature, with it soon flouting to the surface

I fall on my butt in exhaustion, taking a few minutes to regain my strength, before jumping into the water, swimming to the creature, and pulling it to land. I look up to see it almost sunset, and start gathering sticks.

luckily their are dead trees in the area, filled with try Strick's. I mentally thank Piccolo for at least leaving me in am areas with all the stuff I'll need besides stable food and shelter. I father the sticks, and after figuring out how, use my ki to start a fire. I suddenly remember that tonight is a full moon, and realize that if Gohan goes great ape, that Piccolo will try to take my tail as well, not knowing my weakness is gone.

So I decide to stay up all night. I have a theory that with t a tail, a Saiyans power if higher than without, plus I want to find out if Super Saiyan 4 is real. I make sure that I never look up at the sky, and after eating my friend, which barely satisfied me, I start planning my training.

I focus an improving my Ki sense, expanding it's area of reach, being more precise, or just being better able to pinpoint the level of power a being has.

a while passes, and by what I think was a few hours, I have been able to improve my sneezing capability to miles outward, and can even tell the animals in the area are. I have even grown more precise at reading power level. This will come in handy with hunting fore food.

I don't like killing animals, but I remember dad talking about how nature works, and is nothing to be ashamed of, I am hungry, and I have to eat. But that conflicts with my old life, of how I never had to do this kind of thing, my life all safe from any real danger.

I realize that I don't really have a choice, as I certainly don't want to die our here, before I can living my life to the fullest. a few hours from this revelation, Piccolo appears.

Piccolo: "I have come here to remove your tail, it's a weakness we can't let the Saiyans exploit."

Before Piccolo could move, I stated

Me: " I have always trained my tails weakness away, so I'm fine."

He raises an eyebrow, probably not realizing Saiyans could do that, and filing away that information for later. He responds

Piccolo: "Well, I guess your lucky, as I blew up to moon."

I play dumb and look confused, but he just responded continued

Piccolo: "I'm going to give you some new clothes since yours are not suitable for your training, also a sword."

I quickly respond.

Me: " Can you make them just like my Mom's at the 23 World Martial Arts Tournament, and weighted like my Dad's? "

I don't have any real reason to my outfit preference other than I like the look, and I figure since I am basically a carbon copy of mom, the clothes would suit me well. Piccolo raises an eyebrow, but soon shrugs and says

Piccolo: "Sure."

I wait in anticipation as he holds out is pointer finger and yells out

Piccolo: "CLOTHES BEAM."

I analyze every bit of the technique, planning on copying it in the future, before a mini version of my mother's gi appears, along with a sword to fit my size. I grow excited, as I have always loved swords, before I turn to thank Piccolo, only to find he already left.

I mentally thank him instead, before quickly changing into the go, and playing down, my sword at arm's length. and soon the exhausting catches up with me, and I am out like a light.
