'You have sufficient power, but your form is all over the place- feel the spiritual pressure within you and the atmosphere...

A correct form will allow you to limit your power- to feel around you and to relax while your power can be outputted...'

'Our internal energy our power is Ki- it is the source of every living being and every one has a different Ki Signature... '

....

Constantly his master's words echoed in Leonard's mind as he contemplated the meaning of such a metaphysical pressure.

He tried to understand it but it was too hard for him to do- as he'd never been taught such things.

And so gradually his mind focused and adapted on this phenomenon known as Ki.

Exploring the nature around him he climbed cliffs and endured the battering if waterfalls as his mind tried to synch with its foil- Nature.

And through his numerous trainings he became stronger than ever before enduring the weathering of reality and the mental pressure it brought.

Currently Leon was hunting as though Master and Krad had food it was not enough to feed him and so he usually hunted to his full appetite.

While he hunted he also traded with the other families within K'un Lun as he sold to them live stock and specific vegetation such as Ginseng roots.

While they gave him Vitality Pills created from their numerous herbs.

And this was great as it fed him for 11 days but due to eleven days passing he had to find some more products to trade.

And no it wasn't a Senƶu Bean it was just a fasting pill if you will that supplemented me from time to time.

And currently I was trying to learn just how Saiyans flew as I knew it and Ki manipulation was innate within their very generic code.

It was something that was a part of them and something they could do from them being Saiyans.

As he recalled the GT perfect files said that Saiyans were large Goliath like Humanoids with Furry Appendages that evolved into what they are now.

Giants among men if you will and what intrigued Leon was the flying aspect something he wanted to do.

Now he sat by a stream near the edges of the K'un Lun dimension near the entrance of the dimension if you will and stared deeply at the water.

It reflected his face as it morphed into wavy tendrils as if water moving slowly.

While the sun beamed down reaching him through the dense foliage of green.

He recalled his childhood as his friend from his previous life- an asian boy descending from the subcontinent of India.

His name was...

It was hard as my memories were less and less of that world as my memories here overpowered them.

I believe his name began with an 'S' and we both watched Dragon Ball Z together, but one episode that stood out in my memory was the one where Gohan taught Videl and Goten? I think to fly.

It was so memorable partially due to us both trying to fly.

Trying to feel our inner energy until we dropped to the ground in excitement and tiredness.

He was my best friend and was always there for me regardless of my problems- he helped me out and taught me what I didn't know.

He was like a brother to me...

Yet his name alluded me- the consequences to another life I guessed...

But it didn't matter I shan't grow sentimental when I wish to resume my journey of potential and unlocking it.

Growing focused once more I turned towards the water as I delved into my memories again.

This time fragments of Gohan instructing Videl appeared.

'Feel the Ki within and pull on it- till the last drop- feel it's warmth, it's beats, it's very life living within you- sustaining your very existence...'

With a tug at my insides- I found a strand of discord it felt unlike my muscles or bones.

It was something different- something unnerving as I felt my soul- it felt like a pulsing heart beating with life faster and faster.

It felt like soft flesh as I tried feeling it- but I winced in pain if I took it all and pulled- this was my Ki.

But then my eyes closed by itself as my last remnants of vision saw gold and a spiked red fruit...

Near the edges of K'un Lun dimension sat a young nine year old as he looked deep in trance.

Fighting with his soul maybe- but who knew- was he fighting for his mind, power or something else.

And as his personal fight continued his body glowed gold as an image of a red fruit temporarily appeared in the air like magic.

It was spiky and looked sharp with a golden glow around it while a golden dragon coiled around it.

This was his potential- it seemed.

This fruit and coiled dragon meant something whether it be an omen or a sign- to something great... Or tragic.

And with a frenzy he woke up as he looked around himself gathering his bearings.

He found a slimy substance around his skin threatening to destroy his very sense of smell.

Quickly he dived into the water stream as he hurriedly ripped of the sludge that seemed to harden on his very skin.

Once successful his body felt bigger, his mind felt calmer and his soul felt stronger.

He could tug onto his Ki as it's very capacity increased he felt the now increased Ki as well.

It was like a glass made to cup water but as the water grew so did the glass to hold more of its content.

An ever evolving body and soul was his- but only due to his attachments and memories, something which was cosmic in worth believe it or not.

Memories held a great deal of worth in both comprehension and Strength.

Hurrying up after his body was cleaned Leon found that whilst he was training a boy appeared in the jungles dense foliage.

With scars running across his chest and blood drying out- he was unconscious.
