Dragon Ball: Goku Si c2 (Patreon)

As time went on, Goku grew stronger, but not everything went that well.

While Goku didn’t kill Son Gohan by accident this time around, the old man was still an old man. His age started to catch up to him.

The old man started to grow weaker little by little. 

The Saiyan started to panic, but Son Gohan taught him to accept the inevitable.

In a way, Goku accepted the current circumstances. He was too weak to help his grandfather to deny his age.

But he was Saiyan. He saw age as a limit, and he would shatter and become tracescent.

Super Saiyan God, by all means, and purposes, transforms one into a God; once one masters Divine Ki, it's not just a form or a transformation. 

All Goku has to do is make that form his base form, and he will do so… becoming a Saiyan God.

After accepting the fact that his grandfather will die from old age. The remaining years went like a blur.

One thing Gohan showed to Goku before he passed away was… the Turtle Hermit’s ultimate move.

The Kamehameha wave.

~~~

“Goku, look closely. I can do this once. I want you to see Turtle School's beauty and might.

This is the ultimate move of our martial way.”

The old man did a ‘dragon mouth’ with his hands before pulling back his hands to his right.

The flow of Ki started to gather between the hands as blue energy manifested in ball form.

“Ka–me–ha–me—”

As the glow intensified, the old man pushed his hands forward and released the beam into the boulder.

“-HA!!!”

The boulder exploded into a thousand pieces.

“...Whoa!!!”

Goku had sparkling eyes when he saw that!

How could he not?

What he saw just now is a classic—a classic beyond all classics! He was just a mere boy when he saw this for the first time in Dragon Ball when Roshi destroyed the fire in the burning Ox King’s castle.

Then, a much superior Kamehameha against Vegeta and an even more superior Kamehameha Wave against Cell.

And now

He called to finally see it in person!

But then his grandfather nearly collapsed, and Goku moved swiftly and caught him.

“T-This is my last lesson to you, Goku.” 

“M-Many thanks, Grandpa!” Goku, with teary eyes, nodded as he swiftly took his old man back to his bed.

After that short lesson, the old man’s ki swiftly started to diminish. 

The Saiyan was pondering what to do, but the old man accepted his end. 

Not even giving his Ki would work. It was strange. There is more to Ki than just energy.

Not long after that lesson, Son Gohan passed away, and Goku swiftly prepared a burial site.

After going through all of the burial rituals, Goku used his anguish to fuel his training.

It was the moment when he learned the true power of Saiyan's physique.

~~~

Goku’s fighting style when he is small utilises his flight mastery to compensate for his size. 

He uses that to reach his imaginary enemy’s face.

However, he stopped his flurry of moves when he sensed trembling at the back of his neck.

“...T-This is…” 

His eyes trembled as he sensed a spike in his Ki!

‘Did rage stimulate my Saiyan inborn powers?’

Obviously, he was sad, and he used that to stimulate his training. He trained more furiously than before, but it was not enough…

After all, he needs much more rage to achieve something like Super Saiyan…

“...Wait…”

Goku stopped what he was doing and looked at the ground. Deep thoughts were in his eyes as he thought about training.

“...Of course…”

“Oozaru gives me rage, but I don’t need rage for long. Rage is fire, and fire is strongest in short bursts.” 

He looked at the mountains in the distance. Those mountains are his training spot for Oozaru. His grandfather used those mountains to stand close to Goku when he was in his monkey form…

Considering how tall he is in Oozaru form.

As he flew over there and landed on the mountain peak, he closed his eyes for a second.

He started moulding his Ki with Blutz waves, which he had been keeping in his body.

The moment he did that, there was a reaction. The fur on his tail spiked as his muscles started to inflate, but instead of channelling normally, he took control of the transformation.

After doing this daily for over six years for Goku, Oozaru's transformation was second nature. 

Influencing its transformation is a child’s play. That is why he sends this mixed Ki energy through his back.

**Thumb!!!**

At that moment, his black eyes turned cyan and then yellow around the eye sockets themselves… red rings appeared.

**THUMB!!!**

The energy spike was insanely enormous, and Goku felt like a balloon!

The boy immediately stopped this as she collapsed on the ground on all fours.

He knew what he just did!

“...I-I am mad… that was not Super Saiyan!”

The boy breathed deeply as he turned around and collapsed on his back. He gazed at the blue sky and the clouds.

What he just did was Super Saiyan 4… 

Something his body simply can’t handle. One simply doesn’t just skip regular Super Saiyan to achieve that form.

“...I suppose making energy flow like that isn't simple. I guess I need to open "those" doors regularly.”

He mumbled while gazing at the sky.

That's right, what he sensed through that back feeling was like it was doors.

Sealed doors which need to be opened.

If not for his emotions and complete control over Ki, he would have missed it.

He didn’t believe much about that tingling feeling those girls were talking about from Universe 6. 

But there is some truth to it.

With a sigh, he closed his eyes and started to channel his magic through his body. 

Orange ripples travelled through his muscles, which were broken from over-superinflation. They swiftly recovered, and his Ki was fully restored for the price of his magic.

Unlike Ki, his mana simply doesn’t recover on its own. He will need to gather it again.

A few moments later, he stood up and inspected himself, clenching his hand a couple of times.

“I suppose I found a new way to abuse my training…again.” He smirked to himself as he found a way to reach Super Saiyan without making anyone blow up in front of him.

Once again, he sat down and started to meditate. He needs to gather magic once more. But since he just got a Zenkai boost. 

His insane power just maimed him to the point that all of his muscles were broken.

Yep, he learned how to torture himself and abuse Zenkai Boost.

He could feel that his Ki went up, not much, but it's still progress, which is not insane considering how Vegeta and others used to get in the Namek Saga.

With more Ki, his sensory range went up, and now he gathered more magic for training.

~~~~~~3 Years Later~~~~~~

“This is it! The radar is showing that the dragon ball is here.”

A girl with blue hair smirked to herself as she left her car and walked to a small shrine-like building on a mountain.

She opened the doors and saw the dragon ball on the pedestal.

“Oh, yes!” The girl walked and was about to touch it, but a brown wooden pole got in the way. 

“Aghhh!!!” The girl was shocked as she took a couple of steps back.

“That Dragon Ball is mine.” A childish voice said from the back.

The girl turned around and saw a boy with wild hair dressed in a white sleeveless shirt and blue pants.

“C-Can we negotiate?” She asked him as her hand moved towards her holstered gun.

But the pole retracted and smacked her on her hand.

“Oww!!! You don’t just hit a girl!”

“Well, at this moment, this girl is a burglar, so I am employing my right to defend my property.” He smirked at her as he swirled his pole before pointing his hand at her. His energy surged and encased her in a bubble of energy.

He then motioned for the bubble to follow him out of the house with the girl inside of it.

“W-What the!? Is this magic!?” The girl touched the blue bubble.

“It’s Ki. Ki is life energy. Martial artists who reach the apex of their bodies can feel it and eventually weaponise it,” the boy explained to her.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself? or do you want me to continue calling you a burglar girl?” The boy plopped on a tree trunk and crossed his arms.

“...I am Bulma Briefs! My father is the world-famous Dr Brief! The one who created the Capsule Corp!” The girl swiftly introduced herself and said who her father was.

“...”

“I don’t believe you.” 

He immediately responded to her introduction, instantly making her deflate.

“W-Why not!? I can prove to you that it's me!”

“The reason I don’t believe you is that it does not make any sense,” he said with a shrug.

“If your father is a famous inventor, then why does her daughter need to steal something from an orphan who lives alone in the mountains?” he reasoned with her. 

“...”

His words made the girl blush hard from embarrassment.

“T-Thats because I never thought it this way! I thought it was some random old shrine!”

“So you even willing to steal from shrines?” He asked, almost teasing the spoiled girl.

“...” 

Once again, she stopped in her tracks as he made her sound even worse! 

“L-Let me explain! I don’t want to make this worse!” The girl collapsed on the ground as she swiftly showed two dragon balls.

“These here are dragon balls! They can grant wishes! I've been collecting them! you have one. I can buy it from you!”

Seeing that he got her cornered, Goku decided to ‘spring’ his plan to get her onboard for his ‘plan’ to make her his personal gym equipment creator.

“I see. I already knew they were magical as I could sense energy radiating from them.” The boy clarified that he already knew.

“T-Then?”

“You are going on an adventure to collect these balls, right?” He got up from the tree stump and walked over to her.

“Then I shall travel with you. I want to see if you are truly a daughter of an inventor.”

“Oh? You want me to prove it to you?” She got her confidence back.

“Indeed. You see, I have some alien technology. Being one helps in this situation.”

As he said that, he showed her his tail, which had been coiled around his waist before.

“...N-No way!” Her eyes widened when she saw his tail.

“...Yep, I come from a Race of Warriors who send their children in pods. Upon landing, these pods open up and emulate the moon, or if there is a moon on the full moon, we transform into big monsters.”

He saw that she had a pale look on her face.

“I see that you already heard this story.”

“...L-Locals around this area told me about big brown monster…” The blue-haired girl stuttered.

“What they saw was my transformation.”

“T-Then you will destroy Earth!?” The girl nearly passed out from fright. It doesn’t help that Goku was pretending to be dead serious and playing something akin to a villain.

“Nope!” He then grinned.

“...!”

She stopped for a second.

“...what?”

“Why would I do someone's bidding? Why would I fight against the world that raised me? Nope. Since you are as smart as you say, then why don’t you use the technology of my race against possible invaders?”

“...”

She stopped for a second before starting to think.

“I do it! It sounds far too good to pass!” Bulma shows excitement similar to Goku’s when he wants to learn a new Ki method or technique.

“Great. Then let me call my pod.” 

He pulled out a remote and pressed a couple of buttons.

By this point, the barrier around Bulma was gone, and the girl waited for this pod…

Part of her didn’t believe it yet…

But then she saw it…

Her eyes bulged out.

It was a small round thing! It flies without propulsion!

‘What is that!?’
