conversing with a cat
After a full night of rest, I woke up and thanked the Old Lady for her hospitality. I flew off in the direction of Kame House as I forgot to ask a very important question. I landed and got to questioning right away. I knocked on Roshi's door and he answered almost immediately, surprising me.
"What do you want kid?" Master Roshi says abruptly.
"Can you pinpoint on this map where Korin's Tower is?" I asked politely. He nods and marks the general vicinity of the tower. I leave quickly, excited at the prospect of meeting Kami and Popo. I fly at a leisurely pace enjoying the scenic landscape and animals. I look forward and see the massive tower reaching toward the heavens in the distance. I stop at its base and suppress my power and put on my weights. These are a special type of four-piece set weights that increase in weight with the infusion of ki. They go on both my arms and legs to make an equal amount of force on my body, I also have a shirt with the same properties to make it even more challenging.
I put them on and infuse more ki into them making them around a ton each. I quickly begin climbing the tower, after 2 miles of climbing I begin to think this could have been a mistake. It would have been no problem without weights but I just wanted to challenge myself, such an idiot. My body is killing me, lungs on fire, heart beating rapidly and arms and legs feel like they are about to snap. I think about using a bit of ki but I refuse and keep pushing.
I reassure myself with the promise of great power and gloating to Vegeta in his smug prick face that I am still stronger. As I climb I begin to think to keep my mind off the torture my body is going through. Should I still keep the timeline intact? I mean who knows what kind of butterfly effect could happen just thanks to my very presence. I decided that I would keep the timeline somewhat intact until the Namek saga where I should be powerful enough to challenge Frieza. I snap from my musings when I spot the top of the tower in the distance. Yes! FREEEEEDOOM!
I pull upon every ounce of fitness and strength from every fiber of my being and power through the last leg of the journey. With my last ounce of energy, I make it to the top and faint almost instantly.

When I wake up I feel energized, I get up and realize I have a blanket covering me along with a pillow under my head. I quietly thank korin and move up the stairs. Up here I find Korin sipping from a cup of water.
"I see that you have woken up," Korin continues, "I sensed your immense battle power from, and I appreciate that you would hold back your energy to make this training more efficient." I nod at his words.
"You have earned the right to drink the Ultra Divine Water," Korin says. As I reach to grab it he speeds away, holding the flask of water in his hands. I understand the training he is doing right now and analyze his movements while chasing him. He wastes no energy with unnecessary or exaggerated movements, he takes full use of his body, and he is not wasting energy on thinking about his movements by committing them to muscle memory and instinct. I don't think anyone has realized this but Korin and Kami's training might be a part of Ultra Instinct! No wonder Goku got it so easy compared to everyone else.
I think back on Whis's words in the show. 'Our speed and power while moving are drastically decreased because of overthinking our movements, there is only so fast that our brains can transfer sensory input and movement even with ki. We eliminate this problem by moving autonomously by engraining martial arts into a second and first nature then release all of our potential allowing us to become stronger. We must also get into the right mindset of balance you must not be too rigid or too easygoing, this is the essence of Ultra Instinct.' I think while continuing to chase korin around.
As I was having this enlightenment and epiphany in my mind my movements in the outside world noticeably improved at a rapid pace engraining the kami-style martial arts into my brain as I learn from korin. There were even a few times where I managed to almost grab the flask. Then suddenly an ethereal glow covered my body and within a millionth of a second, I grabbed the flask from Korin.
Korin was amazed and so was I. I could feel what was happening, for a split second, I was able to tap into a fraction of Ultra Instinct. As I was celebrating my victory I felt an unimaginable amount of pain as blood poured from every orifice.
'Shit, my body isn't strong enough to handle even a tiny bit of ultra instinct,' I thought as my muscles, ligaments, and bones snapped and ripped themselves apart and I fought through the pain.
"Korin, quick I need a senzu!" I said through gritted teeth and a hoarse voice. Korin obliged and watched in fascination as I swallowed it and my body healed itself and gained its very first zenkai.
"I didn't know those things could heal, I thought they kept you full, I was about to throw out a truckload of them," he muttered in amazement. (that's why there are no senzu beans) With the amount of damage, I did to myself I gained a 3x boost from my zenkai.

"Well, I would say that you passed the test but I will warn you that all the others that tried the Ultra Divine Water all died," Korin warned. I nodded and accepted the water anyway. As I drank it I felt a massive pain come from my core area, it was nothing compared to the pain I just went through so I didn't really care too much and powered through it. After the pain passed my ki exploded as it once again got a 3x boost from the potential unlocking abilities of the water.

"Because you have passed with flying colors and broken every record I have, I will allow you to visit Kami up in the lookout, but before you go take a nimbus cloud and this badge that symbolizes that you passed the test so they don't kick you off for intruding," Korin says. Korin calls forth a huge yellow cloud and instructs me to land on it and tear a piece away. Surprisingly, I was able to stay on the cloud and not fall through, looks like I'm pure of heart.
I tear a piece big enough for me to sleep on when I am an adult (hopefully it's big enough). I thanked korin for his help.
"Thank you Korin for all that you have done for me," I yell as I slowly rise up on the nimbus cloud.
"No problem, little girl!" he yells after me. GODDAMMIT, WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT!!!! with that thought, I make my way to the Lookout.
