Chapter 2
Korin the hermit, an old wise fat cat with white fur who also carries a gnarled wooden staff Kami does not like visitors and will send any rocket s.h.i.+p trying to reach him back heavily implying that at least in one point or another, someone else was actually stupid enough to try it too. As I made my way through the forest and onto Korin's tower I found myself with another problem I can't fly or climb this tower.
Vocado: "This tower is so f.u.c.king big that it took Goku of all people three whole days to climb it, but at the very least I can get my hands on the Super Spirit Water which will increase my power sevenfold by just drinking it once I climb to the top and take it from Korin that is. "
I looked up to the sky I could not believe how ridiculously large this thing was in person I was staring directly into the sky and all I could see was the pole it looked endless from this point of view. Hmm I hadn't planned on actually climbing this thing. I sat down and tried to relax I was getting really frustrated and had to control my urge to blow it the f.u.c.k up using saibamen I needed to control my saiyan instincts of just going ape s.h.i.+t and las.h.i.+ng out. I took deep breaths and started concentrating on what to do next when the words "saibamen" came back to my mind. That's it! I have an idea I sprang up from the floor
Vocado: " It's a good f.u.c.king thing I came prepared!"
I crouched down and dug a small hole planting a saibamen seed in and poured two drops of the green liquid to grow them the liquid was quickly absorbed into the ground and with a crack then a burst from the floor a saibamen crawled out. The healthier the soil the stronger the saibamen and what better place could there be than the place where the Guardian of the Earth resides. My plan was simple id have this green a.s.shole carry me up there and work as a distraction so I could steal the Super Spirit Water from Korin and as a bodyguard if things went south. Saibamen are short green humanoid Plant Aliens that grow from a planted seed placed in the ground. The seeds are actually bulbs stored in a special liquid to make them grow when needed but for the sake of keeping s.h.i.+t simple i'll just keep calling them seeds. They were actually discovered by the saiyans and were used as weapons, at first they were rare and valued because harvesting the little f.u.c.kers was a pain in the a.s.s and not many people could control them since they were wild and p.r.o.ne to attacking their user. Luckily these bad boys were created using biotechnology instead of being home grown meaning not only were they stronger they were also completely loyal to the user and were able to understand and follow orders as long as the orders were not too complex. I checked the scouter to see its power level it had a power level of 563 decent and stronger than almost anyone on Earth but not as strong as the ones Nappa used because in Age 737 they were more advanced and developed with power levels reaching up to 1,200. Oh I almost forgot to mention these things can self destruct so worst case scenario I can have it Kamikaze if things get really serious. Fun Fact in the game's Dr Gero creates multicolored clones of the saibamen calling them Saiba Rangers coming in Blue, Red, Green. Yellow, Pink, White and, Black. An obvious parody of the Power Rangers I wonder if any will pop out in this continuity I couldn't help but smirk at the thought of controlling my very own Saibamen Power Rangers Team. I pointed my finger at the newly born saibamen and said.
Vocado: "From now on I will call you Little Green and your first job is to help me climb this tower do you understand?"
Little Green: "Giiii!"
Vocado: "... i'll take that as a yes"
Aw s.h.i.+t I forgot these things can't speak properly, man im forgetting alot today maybe that Truck crash really did mess with my head you'd think getting reincarnated would clear up any brain damage or maybe its a side effect hmm… im getting sidetracked I got onto Little Green's back and shouted at it to Go! The little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was a lot nimbler than expected we reached the top in just a few hours it was already dark out when I got off Little Green. and told it to quietly follow me it just made another "Giii!" noise I wonder if that means yes or no? G.o.d I hope it doesn't mean both. The interior of the place was just like it was in dragon ball the room was filled with magic ceramic water pots lying all over the place the room was round and s.p.a.cious with a bathtub that was really the only thing that stood out. The place was empty and Korin was probably still asleep I walked out the doorway and up the stairs I stopped and ducked before we reached the top of the stairs because either two things would happen when we got there we will be confronted by Korin and well have to steal the Super Spirit Water by force or best case scenario we steal it without a hitch. I couldn't use my scouter to detect him since Korin was able hide from it.
Vocado: "Listen here Little Green I want
I repeated those last two part's very slowly to make sure it understood.
Little Green: "Giii!"
Vocado: "Jesus Christ, f.u.c.k it just go!" (sigh*)
Welp worst case scenario we bring Korin back with the Dragon b.a.l.l.s, note to self need to acquire a translator. With another "Giii!" noise Little Green sprang out to s.n.a.t.c.h the the bottle but before he could reach it he was intercepted and hit with Korins staff the furry b.a.s.t.a.r.d had appeared outta nowhere and whacked him down on the head slamming him face first against the floor Little Green let out a confused cry.
Vocado: "s.h.i.+t!"
I got up and yelled at Little Green to keep him busy while I made a run for it, Little Green had a power level of 563 I knew anything Korin did wouldn't hurt him but I was worried Little Green might accidently kill him! I needed to end it quickly before things get out of hand as I reached the altar I plucked the bottle out, Korin noticed this and made a mad dash towards me I aimed the arm blaster and fired two shots at his direction he dodged as expected and was tackled and held down by Little Green.
Vocado: "Good, hold him down and don't let him get away."
Little Green: "Giii!"
I uncapped the bottle while Korin was yelling at me to stop and asking questions like "Hey Who Are You!", "What Is This Thing?!" "Hey Kid Don't Drink That!" he struggled but no matter how much he did it was pointless so I took my time and chugged it down. I already knew the Super Spirit Water was actually a fake and according to Korin himself it did not grant the user any power boost by drinking but what he did not tell Goku was that it was the key to drinking the Ultra Divine Water. The Ultra Divine Water is a magic drink that will draw out the user's potential if they can survive the deadly poison thirteen people had tried to drink the water before Goku did and died a miserable death why did Goku survive? My theory is that the Super Spirit Water works as an antidote against the Ultra Divine Water being the key to surviving the experience although it was never stated in the series I was willing to bet my life on it. In the Manga and Anime the way to obtain the Ultra Divine Water was completely different this will also help me in figuring out which continuity Im in, in the Manga the water is in Korin's possession and he gives it to Goku almost immediately after telling him about it. But in the Anime using one of his magic ceramic water pots, Korin transports Goku to an icy maze far to the north where the Ultra Divine Water is kept.
Vocado: "Alright cat I know your the Hermits cat now tell me where the Ultra Divine Water is, I know you have it and I wont leave or let you free until you cough it up and if you know what's good for you, you won't test me cat!"
Korin: What the, how do you know that? You no good lousy stinking brat get this thing off me!, ey ey ey this cat has name ya know! And it wouldn't hurt for you to show a little respect!"
Vocado: "I know what your name is Korin and I won't ask you again nicely, give me the Ultra Divine Water Now!."
I glared at Korin he seemed to finally understand the message and reluctantly opened his mouth.
Korin: "Fine fine it's inside of a volcano all the way in Hawaii you can only get to it if you jump in and ask the Volcano nicely."
I felt a vein pop out of my forehead this sneaky cat was trying to play me like a fool there are only two possible places that water can be and he is asking me to go jump in a volcano?! My saiyan urges flared up tempting me to chuck this cat off the ledge of the tower. I took a deep breathe and with calm voice and a forced smile I said.
Vocado: "Fine have it your way, but im getting that Ultra Divine Water one way or another, Little Green take him downstairs and hold him down."
As Korrin was carried down stairs and held down against the floor I followed behind Little Green picking up a towel and a pot of magic water along the way. I put the towel over his face and began pouring water the interrogation had begun I waterboarded the furry b.a.s.t.a.r.d until it broke and finally spilled the beans it did not take too long but Korin was surprisingly resilient taking a whole three hours and ten minutes of interrogation. I was relieved to hear that he had it on his possession I could not be entirely sure that I was in the Manga continuity however despite the successful results I would need to test a few things out before I can be one hundred percent sure I was. While I was at it I managed to obtain the senzu bean recipe and took his stash away before he pa.s.sed out from exhaustion. Senzu beans were essentially magical healing beans I wasn't too worried about messing up the timeline because I knew he would grow more, also the events of Dragon ball wouldn't be for at least another twenty four years in Age 749 the current time now being 725. With everything taken care of I was ready to drink the Ultra Divine Water I gave Little Green a very clear and specific order to feed me the senzu bean with a signal if my theory was wrong or if I felt that I would be unable to survive. If I remember correctly upon drinking the water Goku writhed in agony for some time and his life flashed before his eyes this was absolutely perfect because it was very likely that I would receive not only receive a magical boost from the water but a Zenkai Boost! From this experience a Zenkai Boost is an ability that is genetically exclusive to the saiyan race it's a trait that allows a saiyans power to increase dramatically after recovering from fatal injuries. The greater the injury the greater the power increase and apparently Goku's power boost from drinking the water was enough that Korin was able to detect it from his tower when he sent Goku to the icy maze in the north. It is also believed that it was a major factor in Goku learning his Ki sensing ability. Ki sensing is the ability to sense the location of life force, and the power level of any creature or living being the stronger and closer the creature or living being the more powerful the sensation. Also if a ki is very powerful it can be sensed from far away by other ki users but it can be countered or hidden if the user knows how to hide or mask their ki.
Vocado: "Alright little green remember what I told you and get ready, it is absolutely important that you follow my directions even if it cost you your life Understand?"
Little Green: "Giii!"
Vocado: "Good! Here Goes Nothing!"
I swallowed almost all of the Ultra Divine Water in one gulp and was immediately met with a mental a.s.sault my brain felt like it was melting and I lost control of my body I had a piercing headache and my body felt like it was being turned inside out I couldn't pa.s.s out the pain was too intense and I was worried Id die of shock first but maybe it was my saiyan biology that kept me going but the more pain I received the angrier I got and the more my violent urges surged distracting me from the pain just a little bit with the unrelenting anger that was building up inside me until my eyes began to roll back and I let out a miserable scream I lost my sense of time and blacked out I don't know how long It lasted but when it stopped it felt like the pain was never even their to begin with. If anything when I got up I felt better than I ever had before my body was bursting with energy and my muscles had inflated I was also taller for some reason that last part was weird why did I grow taller? Was it because of the water or was it natural it honestly did not matter to me I noticed the sun was rising it was morning. I looked around and Korin was still pa.s.sed out and Little Green was still standing by with senzu bean in hand waiting for my orders. I walked over to Korin picked and up his staff and walked to the ledge pointing the staff forward towards nowhere in particular I called out
Vocado: "Flying Nimbus!"
As I waited for the nimbus cloud to come. I wondered if maybe I was doing it wrong or what if it only comes if Korin says it or maybe it's some kind of secret technique dammit I should have asked while I was interrogating him oh well as I was about to walk back I stopped when I noticed a large yellow cloud approaching Korin's Tower alright the flying nimbus a magical cloud like the name implies that can fly but only the pure of heart can ride it. Sweet now I can fly and get to Kami's lookout! As it approached the tower I jumped out of the Tower but to my surprise and shock instead of landing on the nimbus cloud I pa.s.sed right through it!?!? I cried out in panic!
Vocado: "Whoa Whoa What am I not pure of Heart?!? That's a load of Horse s.h.i.+t!!! Little Green Break My Fall Hurry! SAVE ME! Little Green!"
I was plummeting down at an insane speed I knew I had some time before the landing given the height of the tower if I was lucky my power boost would be enough to let me live and I still have the senzu beans if I end up in critical condition but i'd rather not find out this way I couldn't help but scream at what would most likely be my second time dying I tried to move my body and latch on to the towers pole but it was to no avail I closed my eyes and nervously awaited the outcome either I would survive my fall or id be turned into human paste once I landed. As I was close hitting the ground I yelled!
Vocado: "Fuuuuuuuuck Me NoooOoooOoOo!?!"
When suddenly Little Green swooped in riding a flying nimbus cloud rescuing me I hadn't processed what had just happen yet but the first thing that came to mind was.
Vocado: "Come On! Your telling me the f.u.c.king Saibamen is pure of heart but Im Not!?"
Little Green: "Giii!"
Vocado: "Shut The f.u.c.k Up Little Green!"
I took a deep breathe and let out a sigh of relief and thanked G.o.d for Little Green's help. We made a quick stop to the s.p.a.ce pod to drop off the senzu beans I kept three on me just in case I checked my scouter to see my Power Level 202. It had increase by (197+) Huh im not as strong as the saibamen but compared to Earth's standards during Dragon Ball i'm pretty powerful compared to most of the Z fighters It won't take long before I can take on King Piccolo who had a Power Level of: 260 or Tambourine who had one of the natural highest before Dragon Ball Z with a Power Level of 340. This should be enough to train with Kami and master Ki sense. I got Little Green to drop me off to the top of Kami's lookout and had him stay behind to guard the s.p.a.ce pod. As I made my way towards the temple a familiar figure appeared wearing a turban standing by the entrance of the temple Mr.PoPo!
