[Weeks past]
Goku had grown accustomed to the training routine, now strong enough to handle the 100-pound turtle shell with ease. Goku and Krillin were on a nearby island where they often trained,
One day, Roshi decided to add a bit of fun to their training. With a sly grin, he tossed a rock into the far distance, the initials "R.K." carved into its surface. "Your goal is simple," Roshi said, "whoever finds this rock gets to eat."
Both Goku and Krillin immediately sprang into action, eager to take on the challenge. Whoever found the rock first would earn a well-deserved meal,
Hours had passed, and the sun had long since set. Goku and Krillin, exhausted and hungry, had been searching the island for the rock with no luck. The night was growing darker, and their stomachs were starting to growl louder than their footsteps.
"Hey, Krillin," Goku called out wearily, his voice tinged with frustration.
"What?" Krillin snapped, clearly annoyed at the seemingly endless search.
Goku's eyes looked over to Krillin's bald head "Your bald head... it's making me even hungrier."
Krillin, clearly annoyed, crossed his arms and shot Goku a look. "You know, some of the strongest people are bald. Look at Master Roshi,"
Goku nodded absently, but then, a curious expression crossed his face. "Yeah, yeah, but I've got a question. Why did you choose Roshi's training ?"
Krillin paused for a moment, his expression softening as he thought about it. "Well," he began, his voice growing more serious, "I grew up in a temple. I was always the smallest, the one everyone picked on. But the monk's way is not for me. I want to be a Marine and be the greatest fighter I can be, no matter how small I am." There was a quiet pride in his voice
"Well, my grandpa was a Marine," Goku said thoughtfully, his voice drifting as he recalled memories. "But he quit early. He never really told me why... only that he believed the Marines weren't true justice." Goku looked over at Krillin with a puzzled expression, as if trying to make sense of it all. "I don't really get it, but that's what he said."
Krillin paused for a moment, his mind turning over Goku's words. He understood what Goku's saying, but his own path was clear—he didn't want to be a pirate or a monk. He had his dream.
"Hey, Goku," Krillin said, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "How about we split up? Whoever finds the rock first, we'll meet up and settle it with a game of rock-paper-scissors."
Goku's face lit up with a broad smile. "Yeah, that's a great idea! I'll meet you if one of us finds it!" Without another word, he dashed off in one direction, eager to get started.
Krillin watched him go, his grin widening as he thought to himself. "Even if I find it first, I'll just head back to Roshi's island and eat. And if Goku finds it, well... I'll just take it and run." With that, he sprinted off in the opposite direction,
Goku dashed through the dark landscape, his mind focused on finding the rock. But as he ran, a fells hunger began to take over. His stomach growled loudly, distracting him from the search.
"Man, I'm starving," Goku muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the area for anything to eat.
Just then, he spotted a cluster of fruit trees ahead. His eyes lit up. Without thinking, he runs up to one of the trees. He threw a quick punch at the trunk, and with a loud crack, the fruit from the branches came tumbling down, scattering around him.
Goku's face broke into a wide grin as he dove into the pile of fruit. "Perfect!" he said, his mouth full.
As Goku's hunger was momentarily satisfied, he looked around at the scattered fruits, his eyes wandering over the unfamiliar shapes. That one caught his attention—a strange, oddly patterned fruit that stood out among the rest.
He picked it up, turning it over in his hands, trying to get a better look. "Is this one of those Devil Fruits Krillin was talking about?" he wondered aloud, but the darkness made it hard to see the fruit. He squinted, holding it up into the sky for better light.
As the fruit caught the faint moonlight, something in the night sky caught his eye. His eyes moved, and his breathing stopped. There, shining brilliantly against the dark sky, was the full moon. Goku's heart skipped a beat, and his instincts suddenly kicked in. He clenched the fruit tightly, but his focus was elsewhere. The moon's light bathed him in its glow, and a familiar, uncontrollable surge began to rise within him.
Goku felt the familiar transformation start to take hold. His muscles tensed, his body began to shift, and he felt the all-too-familiar sensation of his power growing, his mind clouded by the primal urge that came with it.
"No" Goku muttered, his eyes beginning to glow. "Krillin run"
Krillin's eyes looked around the woods, tired written on his face There, half-buried under some brush, was the rock he had been searching for. He rushed over, scooping it up with a victorious grin.
"I finally found it!" he exclaimed, holding the rock triumphantly above his head. "Sorry, Goku, but you're not eating today."
But his moment of victory was short-lived. A sudden, thunderous roar echoed through the woods, sending a chill down his spine. Krillin whipped around, his eyes widening in disbelief.
[Kame house]
"Damn kids, why are they taking so long?" Master Roshi grumbled, rubbing his eyes as he stepped outside from a nap. The peaceful afternoon had put him into a deep sleep, but now, the growing silence and realizing Goku and Krillin hadn't come back
He squinted up at the sky, noticing the full moon hanging high above. His eyes widened, and his expression went from annoyance to sheer alarm. "No" His heart sank as he realized what was happening.
Roshi's hands flew up to his face, quickly removing his glasses, and then he passed them off to his turtle, who had just woken up from his nap.
"What happened, Mr. Roshi?" the turtle asked, blinking sleepily.
Roshi didn't answer. His usual relaxed demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by an intensity that only came in moments of extreme urgency. Without another word, he clenched his fists, his muscles bulging as he powered up. And grabbed Goku's power pole
"Stay here," Roshi yelled, his voice sharp and urgent. He dashed off at high speed, heading straight for the island, knowing he had little time before Krillin gets hurt
As he ran, his thoughts raced. If Goku transforms into the Great Ape... there's no telling what could happen to Krillin
[at the island]
The Great Ape, now fully transformed, let out a roar that shook the ground beneath Krillin's feet. With its glowing, red eyes fixed on him, the massive ape bared its teeth and charged forward, ready to crush Krillin under its monstrous foot.
Krillin's heart raced as he backed up, his instincts telling him to run but there was nowhere to go. The ape's huge foot rose, ready to stomp down on him.
Just as the ground began to shake from the impending impact, a blur of movement shot through the air. Before Krillin could even react, someone grabbed him by the waist and yanked him out of harm's way.
"Gotcha" Roshi's voice called out, his grip firm as he flew off with Krillin in tow. The old master had arrived just in time.
The Great Ape's massive head whipped around, its furious gaze locking onto Roshi, who was now holding Krillin in his arms.
Roshi met the ape's gaze with a stern, determined expression, his muscles still rippling with the energy of his earlier burst.
The Great Ape charged forward, swinging a massive punch at Roshi and Krillin. In an instant, Roshi leaped into the air, meeting the ape's fist with one of his own. The collision created a shockwave that rippled through the ground.
Roshi gritted his teeth, pushing with all his strength, forcing the ape's arm back. With a swift motion, he followed up with a powerful kick to the Great Ape's side, sending the giant creature flying through the air and crashing into the distance.
Roshi landed lightly, his expression serious.
The Great Ape's roar grew louder as the yellow energy in its mouth intensified, crackling like a storm ready to burst.
Roshi took a deep breath, his hands coming together as he prepared his counterattack. The familiar blue began to form between his palms,
"K... K... Kame...," he muttered, each word causing the air around him to hum with energy. The blue light grew brighter, and his power-building
"H... H... Hameha!" With a final burst, he thrust his hands forward, unleashing the full force of the Kamehameha wave directly at the Great Ape. The blast collided with the monster's energy, creating a blinding explosion of light.
As the smoke dissipates the Great ape stands there looking at Roshi anger in its eyes
Roshi pulls out Goku's power pole and screams "Goku I know you're in there look at the last thing Gohan gave you take back control"
The Great ape stands there huffing as those words ring threw its ears causing it to huff louder its eyes turn less red as it slowly starts turning smaller and then back to Goku
[Morning]
Goku slowly woke up, tired. What happened the night before flooded back into his mind, and a wave of guilt hit him. His eyes widened in shock, realizing what had happened. He had turned into the Great Ape, nearly destroying everything and almost hurting his friends.
Before he could dwell on it further, the door to the room opened, and Roshi and Krillin stepped in. Goku immediately sat up, his eyes filled with regret, tears welling up.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry," Goku cried, his voice trembling. "I turned into a Great Ape and almost killed you, Krillin…"
Krillin smiled warmly, shaking his head. "It's no problem, Goku. Honestly, Roshi's attack made everything right again. You don't have to worry about it."
Roshi, ever the calm, placed a hand on Goku's shoulder. "Goku, it's okay. You showed that you can control yourself, and nobody got hurt."
Goku sniffled, wiping his eyes, as a small smile began to form on his face. But then, his stomach growled loudly. His eyes immediately locked onto a pile of leftover food nearby. Without a second thought, he dove into it, ravenously devouring the meal.
Roshi and Krillin exchanged a look, as a
large sweat bead formed on their faces
After Gokus eating he walked out to see Roshi Krillin outside sitting "Hey Roshi what was that Blue attack you used" Goku asked curiously
Roshi smiled proudly "That was the Kamehameha It took me 50 years to master," Roshi said as he took a sip from his drink
Goku then Close his hands together as a blue ball is formed he launches it
Roshi then spits out the drink in shock as Krillin and the turtle do the same
[couple of months past]
Goku and Krillin were sparring in the woods, Krillin threw a punch, but Goku effortlessly blocked it and landed a quick hit to Krillin's nose.
"Ow!" Krillin yelped, holding his face in pain. "We were supposed to go easy today! Don't you remember, Roshi actually gave us a rare break!"
Goku scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh, right... I forgot. But hey, you're leaving soon to join the Marines, right? I just wanted to get in a few sparring matches before you go."
Krillin nodded, rubbing his nose. "Yeah, but you should join me! Just imagine—us sailing the seas, taking down pirates."
Goku smiled, but his tone was serious. "It does sound fun, but Gohan told me the Marines aren't all they're cracked up to be. I think I'll pass."
But before Krillin could say anything they heard a women scream as they both ran to the Direction
A young girl with blue hair was running as a man was chasing her he had blond hair and a band on his arm that was blue that had blue written on it Above that there were The initials RR written in red and a Hat that had the same thing
The Blue Haired girl tripped and the blond man stopped and said "Miss Bulma, please stop running we were meant to find your father on West Island and kill him but you'll do" As he pulled his gun out
About to shoot Krillin jumps and kicks him away Goku then jumps down and asks the girl if she is ok. The blond man stands up and with anger on his face "You brats dare to stop me"
He pulls out a grenade and pulls the pin "You'll die" He yells and throws it at them But Goku swings his pole and launches the Grenade back at him and the last thing heared from him is "Wha--" as he explodes
Krillin looks at Bulma and blushes realizing how beautiful she is asks "Are you ok my lady"
