4 Life 4: You are you and not your father...

-A Year/Day Later:-

Within this dimension was a flurry of bodies constantly moving as none could be seen to the naked eye-

Their powers had increased by more than five folds on average and they could feel this strength now theirs coursing through their veins-

"Its time to go, guys- a year is about to end in 30 seconds in here- so we should get out now-"

Said Tenshinhan as he led the way out and finally opened the door out and there he was blinded by the beautiful scenery outside with the blue skies and the clouds swimming through the blue skies-

The green vibrant plants on the lookout and the delicious air that he couldn't help but taste-

"Boys- I think we did a mad one!"

Said Yamcha as he looked outside for the first time in a year- hell it sounded strange just thinking about it but it was as simple as that-

The Timechambers extremely variable temperatures fluctuated constantly some days it was summer the next second winter the next autumn- then spring all randomly and the pressure increased as did the temperature every time the gang moved outwards.

Swiping off the last beads of sweat on his head Tenshinhan shook his lively long hair from left to right looking like a Disney princess-

It reminded me of the scene in the chamber-

-Flashback No Jutsu:-

As the minutes became hours, the hours days and the days months- it was obvious to all that the two baldies began to grow hair on their heads-

Krillin's was standard spiky like hair yet also smooth enough to part in two ways and Tenshinhan had the most luscious hair the gang had ever seen his hair grew long in a matter of months and came out as silky smooth black long hair reaching just below his nape.

His hair was amazing, to say the least making him have that Tarzan look that was brought up training with the apes and learning Martial Arts from the cranes and his hair complimented his looks enhancing his handsome face much more than before-

My man looked like the Main Character from those Wuxia Novels Chiaotzu liked reading.

"Te-Ten... You Have HAIR!!"

Screamed a freaked out Yamcha as he saw Tenshinhan with his hair flowing behind him slightly as the elegance of a crane emerged out from his mannerisms he was the perfect elite Ikemen just by growing hair-

Tenshinhan replied as a matter of factly- "Well, of course, I have hair- I just shave it cause it gets in the way of my field of view- and because Master Shen told me that to cultivate good discipline I need to shave my hair- But I don't feel like doing that anymore, to be honest."

And well- "Urgh- Dastardly Good Looks- I Hate You All- You Goddamned IKEMEN!!"

Raged Yajirobe as per usual while trying to sneak in a few more kilograms of rice- until Chiaotzu paralysed him with a glare- hips telekinetic abilities had grown to say the least-

"F-Fine Shortstack I'll stop- Hey look there's a Pokemon!"

Screamed Yajirobe as everyone turned to look before he ran off with the extra kilo of rice-

And well that day sparring just wasn't for him as Yamcha incidentally launched a Ki-blast on his bottom sizzling his butt whilst Chiaotzu accidentally froze the Ronin as he sparred with Ten causing an elbow to strike straight through his gut.

-Flashback No Jutsu End:-

After the gang of six had come out after such a long year or at least day now in the Timechamber they stank as the last-minute training was too intense but the gains were certainly worth it.

It was a great year or at they thought it was until Popo just had to burst the gangs euphoric bubble.

"Hmm- great you've improved I suppose- in a day as well a remarkable thing but the problem is that it doesn't matter as you are still nowhere near the Saiyan Invader's level-

I've also increased my power in this short time with the use of the pendulum room- So before you, all go anywhere the final test is me- through teamwork you all have to well best me-

Now what are you galloping horses staring at like donkeys make a move then- or else I will...-"

And before he could finish his sentence a left hook impacted him sending him flying back as he fell through countless plants-

before he stopped and the Djin gained a small smile- "OHOHOHOH- you just made me feel pain- a bunch of pathetic fools a ragtag team of animals- beasts that only know how to move their muscles- inflicted damage on me-..."

Wiping off the slight blood that poured from the side of his mouth he laughed as then his eyes turned sharp and then- "-But you'll... ALLL DIEE!!"

And as he said that Popo disappeared from everyone's vision even their sensing had gone to waste as he stopped leaking out his Ki making his presence become non-existent and this was the start-

Backing up against each other- the size warriors and even another Ikemen that seemed to utilise a sword with a lean figure clutched onto his sword with intensity- he looked like a fully-fledged samurai with a handsome face- yes this was Yajirobe...

After a diet and proper training for a full year, he had lost his weight- and grew a lot in a comedic fashion.

Closing his eyes the Ronin began to infuse his sword with his Ki slowly and so as his Ki became part of his sword- the sword became a part of himself his life-force it became as the sword sensed the slightest of movements with ease every particle around him was wafting as he looked for Popo's figure intently and with calm.

The others already knew about this after Yamcha had done a left hook- Yajirobe had taken initiative to finish off Popo.

And so with no visible figures, the gang stood silently waiting and thus their wait was fulfilled as flurries of powerful Kiai's flooded the half-decent circle formation they had formed-

These were however dealt with by Chiaotzu as he repelled these Kiai's straight back to its owner after utilising some mental strength he had pushed them back with a little flair of his own-

A boom-type flair as they reached the owner Popo tried repelling them however as he did so they detonated in his face and the smoke covered the lookout- now all eyes were closed as they began to sense with their hearts around the lookout.

Yajirobe had finally found it the being in the midst of smoke- Chiaotzu's assist was great as now he had him right where he wanted-

"MIII-RAAACC-LEEE...!!!

With a speed that blitzed even Popo's the lean Ronin with incredible speed and Ki control rushed out of the circle and headed straight for Popo and even Popo's eyes widened as he had never thought that kid who ate too much with no training could reach such a height-

"GOOOOOOTTTTSSSUUUUAAANNNNN...!!!

But it was too late as Yajirobe was there...

"SSSLAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHH!!!"

"MIRACLE GOTTSUAN SLASH!!!"

With that, his speed accelerated incredibly whilst the sword in his hand gained a Ki aura as his other hand gained a Ki-Sword as the two blades coincided into one huge blade before this blast reached the moon and then landed on the lookout destroying it in half.

"Legendary Finish!!"

"K-OOO!!"

Screamed Krillin as he couldn't help but be amazed at Yajirobe's amazing progress and incredible move-set-

As the dust broke through with a clear slash ripping through it all Popo had been seen kneeling with one leg on the ground as he looked banged up with a blade scar running through his abdomen to his nape-

With some pain in his voice, he raised his arms as he said- "You- you win, you've surpassed the hierarchy, my students!"

After this Yajirobe stood tall as his serious ikemen expression was destroyed as he began chanting- "HA HA HA HA HA HA! I got him. I got him, I got him. I got him. HAHA. I beat you, dirtbag. I can see it now..."

"Dark Lord Popo brought down by Incredibly handsome hunk Yajirobe."

"Ha hahaha. Oh, yeah! Took him down. You should learn not to mess with the best. You can't handle it! You can't handle the HEAT!!"

Exclaimed Yajirobe as he looked to the skies with a nose that began to elongate making him look like Pinocchio.

But as he revelled in his new power even letting it out a little-

He had soon been overwhelmed as Chiaotzu used his telekinetic hold on him whilst Popo gave him a hammer to the head or a volleyball smash.

Causing him to fall through the now halved Lookout until he reached the ground falling into the Karinga Tribe- as the people huddled around him whilst he could only wheeze before losing conscious.

Wiping his hands clean from the trash he'd dumped- Popo got up again and with a quick spell, he was back to normal as his wounds were gone whilst his clothes regenerated.

"Ah yes- it seems you all have gained a considerable amount of power- but that one clearly needs a lesson in manners- fret not I'll give him the training of his life- though you all are done here and so Kami has taken it to send three living beings off into an otherworldly realm to train for the Saiyans..."

Chiming in Krillin said- "Three alive- but Mr Popo there are six of us here with Yajirobe down there and we are all alive!"

Hearing that the master merely grinned as Kami appeared by his side-

"Yes, only three of you that are alive can go with me to King Yemma's abode- to then send you off to Snake Way-

This is because only three of you are allowed as living beings to trek the otherworld- as that is my quota of this century- so yes this is the first and last time I will be able to send you there-

Though that doesn't mean the other three won't go with you- in fact, I can take you other three with me as long as you are dead-

The choice seems diabolical but it is the only way and do not worry for the Dragon Balls will be ready to revive you when you arrive with the others to the King of the Norths realm.

The choice is now up to yo-!"

However, before he could finish a ghastly power arrived at the Lookout with dark essences rolling off of his body.

"Hmph- Kami to send them off to the Otherworld by the cause of death and filling all of your quotas- you really are desperate aren't you Old Man!"

Sneered a lively Piccolo as he looked at the Z-Fighters before his eyes widened immediately-

"IM-IMPOSSIBLE- you guys are all stronger than me!!"

And with him, a small Gohan hugged his turban as he struggled to stay on the lookout-

"Dad!! Help Me!"

Screamed the child as he struggled to run away from Piccolo but the demon king stopped him as he carefully condensed a small Ki Blast point-blank at his head-

"Kid moves an inch and I'll turn him into a meat splatter!"

Glaring now at Goku as he looked intently in the eyes of his rival, the message was clear-

"Piccolo- you wouldn't do that, you know it- You wouldn't kill the boy and you know that deep down the hate of your past life feels lacklustre and stupid, the ruling of the world is pointless you know that you could do it if you want to yet you don't.

You simply don't care of that ideal as it was forced onto you by your past lives condensed resentment and hate against me and the world- you view this world as the evidence of your failure but you wish to change you know that-

My friend...

You are you and not your father...

Remember this distinction as you seem to blur through the lines of your memories.

Plus we haven't had our rematch yet."

This caused the giant to feel angry yet in the end, he smiled as his Ki blast dissipated-

"I give up- your right- but don't think I'm going soft on you or anything- I still hate you with a passion and I will be the one to kill you- remember that and don't get yourself killed by those hairless apes!"

"I never knew Piccolo was a tsundere~~!"

His eyes turned deadly when he heard that but a faint red blush appeared on his cheeks- "Damn you baboon!"

Finally, the child was free as he ran towards his father with tears and snot coming off from his face- he had no words to say other than the fact that he had missed his father and had witnessed the brutalities his father had faced-

He was right in his decision he never wanted to be a fight- he wanted to go to Uni- have an education not fight and cause fatalities he found it unfair that fighting always somehow had to happen around him.

Goku bent down as he picked up his child hugging his son gently as the kid buried his face in his chest-

"Its fine Gohan- no ones gonna hurt you anymore- Daddies got you- don't worry bud, I'm here- now why don't we get you home to your mum- right bud!"

Smiling gently the father turned back as he flew to home turning back as he gave his friends a wave as Kami began to fix the lookout as he heard-

"Come back in a days time- Goku- We are counting on you!"
