Break Wastelands

[Gohan]

Gohan looked over at Mr Piccolo and he then followed his orders to get some food. This time he had been prepared and had a small stash of fruits wrapped in some leaves and hidden from scavengers who would come and take it. He ate up that small stash then went over by some rocks and performed his morning routines then returned ready for what ever tasks he had for him. He then said to Piccolo, "I'm ready..."

[Piccolo]

Piccolo waited as Gohan had started eating. He stood in place as Gohan approached, exclaiming he was ready. He turned to the young boy and said, "From here on out we start your combat training. Lucky for you, I'll be your opponent. I won't be pulling any punches, I want you to attack me, like you want to kill me. Once you do that we'll discuss what happened next, got it kid?" Piccolo got into his fighting stance and prepared for Gohan's assault.

[Gohan]

Gohan looked at Piccolo and was quiet a moment then he said, "But I don't want to fight you...you're so much bigger than me, how can I fight you??" He said and took a step back now scared. He didn't really know what to do. His mother never let him train with his dad so he was a bit lost .

[Piccolo]

Piccolo was beginning to get frustrated. This kid complains too much and it started to bother him. He grabbed Gohan by his tunic and said, "Listen brat, when your dad was your age he was fighting so many people much bigger and stronger than him. If your Goku's son then you need to swallow your cowardice and become stronger. Prove to me that your a warrior like your father." He tossed Gohan to the ground and waited for his response.

[Gohan]

When Piccolo grabbed Gohan and lifted him off the ground Gohan cringed. He could feel the heat of his words as got angry and gave him a speech. He then got tossed down to the ground and as he hit the ground. He got to his hand and knees and as he did he looked at the ground and thought of how fearless his father was. He admired his father and his fearless attitude but he also loved life and the thought of fighting was not something he really wanted to do all the time.

Then he thought of what recently happened and how his uncle took him and used him to try and make his dad do some awful things and he didn't want to feel so weak like he did when he was taken.

He then stood up and looked at Piccolo and said, "Fine...but if I fight I'm gonna fight for the value of life not just to fight."

[Piccolo]

Piccolo smiled, "Good your finally catching on. Now come on and attack me!" He stood his ground and waited for Gohan to attack. He knew if he was going to train Gohan, he had to make him realize that life wasn't going to go easy on him. "Come on brat," Piccolo said to Gohan with a hostile tone, "If you don't stop your hesitating and crying, you'll die out here. If you don't want to fight that's fine, I'll just kill you now and save the Saiyan's some trouble."

[Gohan]

Gohan looked at Piccolo and blinked a couple times. He didn't have any idea what he was doing but then he thought back on what happened when his uncle showed up and he remembered how bad his dad got beaten by him and he thought of the idea of anyone stronger doing worse rankled his nerves. He then heard the insults and the threat that Piccolo gave him and he got mad and he charged at him and rammed him in the stomach.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo watched as the boy's mentality changed once more into that sheer ferocity. He watched as the kid charge him and landed a solid hit on his stomach, causing him to lose the air in his lungs. Piccolo was sent back a few feet as he recovered. He smiled and looked at the kid and said, "Did you feel that kid? That anger you felt is the source of your power. If you keep up your training with this intensity, you'll be able to take out those saiyans no problem. Come and assume your stance. We got 9 months to turn you into a fighter." Piccolo took his stance and waited for Gohan to do the same.

Piccolo took his stance and waited for Gohan to do the same.

Gohan looked at Piccolo and as he did he realized he gave a good hit and he could see it was pretty solid. This made him feel excited and he got back onto a fight stance for the next round. He said with excitement in his voice, "Oh wow Mr. Piccolo I had no idea I was this strong. Maybe one day, I can be as strong as you and my dad. Lets keep up the training, I wanna see how much stronger I can get." Gohan was eager to continue his training and prove he was a valued member of his family. as he took his stance, he felt even more excited to train than he did before.

[Narrator]

9 Month Time Skip: Preparation for the Saiyans.

As Gohan and Piccolo continued their training, time flew by quickly. Gohan as a fighter grew to new heights. He was able to learn to fly more efficiently and how to properly control his ki. Piccolo was even able to teach Gohan a few of his signature techniques. As time progressed onward, Gohan's originally gi was destroyed during the training. At the cusp of the the final days, Piccolo had given Gohan his new outfit. It was styled after his own gi. With his training complete Gohan was now prepared to face the saiyans. Will they prevail or will the Earth be destroyed by the saiyan invaders.

[Krillin]

As Krillin approached the wastelands it didn't take long to find both Gohan and Piccolo training. He flew down and landed on a nearby butte and watched as Gohan was really holding his own against Piccolo's hard training. He then took out his phone and called Bulma, "Bulma...it's me...I found Gohan, he is with Piccolo training...also Goku is on King Kai's training with some some of his siblings." He then watched for a moment in awe then took flight and flew to where they were and as he approached he said to Gohan, "There you are...we have been looking for you." He then looked at Piccolo

[Cro]

The Wastelands – seemed like a nice place for him to start training. He knew there wouldn’t be many people around and he could do pretty much whatever he wanted. He started stretching out and he thought he was alone. He started to hear something. Like someone talking, he it. He was just probably hearing things. He had been on this planet for a little while and he didn’t know about all the creatures that lived on the planet and he was sure he was the only saiyan that dwelled on Earth. There had been stories about a defender or two on this planet. They saved Earth from the big bads that came to the planet.


Time to get stronger! He thought to himself and continued to stretch. He kept his ki as hidden as he could. You know if some could sense him right now, they wouldn’t find a powerful opponent. The way he had his ki, he would seem to be rather weak. Well compared to Saiyan strength he was weak. He was probably as strong as the strongest human on Earth. Still that was pretty weak. He wouldn’t be able to stand up against anything too powerful.


That’s why he decided to resume his training. He has been getting a bit too comfortable on this planet. He figured living out in the middle of nowhere would help. He would have to hunt for his food like he did on his home world and he was hoping there were fierce animals roaming around so he could get some training in. He was out of his comfort zone right now and he didn’t know why he traveled this far from his log cabin. Now he felt like he was being watched by someone or something. Whatever they were, they needed to show themselves!

[Piccolo]

Piccolo noticed Krillin's arrival. He scoffed and looked back over the horizon. He was more focused on the other person in the Wasteland. He looked over to the open field and saw a man in a black hoodie training a few hundred meters away. Piccolo levitated and took off. He called back to c Gohan and Krillin and said, "Someone else is here. Follow if you want, if not stay here and out of my way." Piccolo flew over and landed a few feet away from the stranger and said, "Who the hell are you and what are you doing out here?"

[Cro]

He blinked as now someone was pretty much in his face. He just wanted to train he looked at the person that had approached him and was demanding to know why he was there. So he guessed just randomly picking a training spot wasn’t a good idea. Maybe he should of scouted the area a little bit more. He was still stretching. Now should he mention what he was? Nah, that wasn’t important right now and he just needed to make sure this person knew he wasn’t going to harm them. Whatever they were, he had never seen anyone like them before.


Cro smirked. “It’s simple. I’m just out here training. I didn’t know there were others out here.”


He wasn’t going to apologize for being out here and that smirk was probably going to get his ass kicked one of these days. He had seen other people do it. He figured it was a custom on this planet. He wondered what this person was. He didn’t know if he would be attacked if he had asked such a mundane and stupid question. He did want to know what they were doing out here and he really wasn’t much for small talk.


He was dressed like a normal human and his tail was tucked in under his clothes. There was no way anyone could identify himself as a Saiyan. He did want to stay hidden for the most part. Also, he wanted to get stronger. That was the purpose of training wasn’t it? By the looks of this person. He didn’t take any shit from anyone and that was a good thing. He was a prideful person and he wondered if this person had pride as well. He was going to have to push himself on this planet. He didn’t want to be weak like these humans.

[Gohan]

Nine months have passed and though it was the hardest nine months of his life Gohan started to feel more confident and less fearful of the unknown. The discipline and training Piccolo has been giving him has started to make him feel stronger.

Gohan stopped training when both him and Piccolo noticed they had company. He was almost ready to go follow when he noticed Krillin not far away watching. At that moment he got so excited he fell back to being just a kid and took off to go see Krillin. He flew up to where he was and he said, "Krillin!!...its so good to see you!!..." and he ran over and gave him a hug.

[Krillin]

Krillin was watching both Piccolo and Gohan training then he saw the new guy not far off. He then watched as Piccolo went to go see who it was and as he was looking in that direction Gohan came up to greet him. He turned around just in time to get a bear hug and when Gohan grabbed a hold of him he yelped at the kids strength and he said,"Oh hey Gohan...eeekk...you have gotten strong....might want to loosen up a bit..." He said and smiled at him as he returned the hug.

The two of them sat down and Krillin asked, "So Piccolo is training you ha?...well that is unexpected...so what has been going on?...do you know where your dad is?..."

[Gohan]

Gohan sat in front of Krillin and he started telling him everything that happened including what happened when his Uncle Raditz took him while trying to get his dad to show his saiyan side. He also spoke of Rasha who was his Aunt that showed up and calmed the situation. He spoke of the coming saiyans and the training but the only thing he could tell of where his dad was, was the fact that he was with his aunt and uncle and the hostilities were not there.

He then looked over towards Piccolo and said to Krillin, "I wonder who that is he is talking to?...whoever it is he has ki strength...I can feel it..."

[Piccolo]

He blinked as now someone was pretty much in his face. He just wanted to train he looked at the person that had approached him and was demanding to know why he was there. So he guessed just randomly picking a training spot wasn’t a good idea. Maybe he should of scouted the area a little bit more. He was still stretching. Now should he mention what he was?

Piccolo looked at the individual with curiosity. Why was a human all the way out here training? Piccolo looked at him and gave smirk. "For a human you seem pretty strong," said Piccolo, "We've got an odd group of trainees, you want to join us? If so I'm going to have to put you through the test." Piccolo's smirk faded as he powered up and took a defensive stance, watching this stranger for any hostile intent or interest in what he said. It's been awhile since he got to fight someone other than Gohan. This should be fun if the stranger accepts his proposal.

It's been awhile since he got to fight someone other than Gohan. This should be fun if the stranger accepts his proposal.

An odd group of trainees? He thought to himself. What did that mean? Was this guy just training a group of misfits? He didn’t know and he didn’t see anyone else around. It was just this green person in front of him. A test? This guy wanted to test him? Hm. It was obviously a fight of sorts. It was probably his way of seeing what he was made of. He wouldn’t want to train anyone that wasn’t strong either. He watched the green man powered up and dropped down into a defensive fighting stance. Yeah this was a fight after all.


The ground shook as he powered up. Maybe 25 percent of his ki energy would be okay. He was trying to match the level of an human. His battle aura pulsed around him. It was a light blue battle aura. He wasn’t sure if that was the color or a normal human battle aura. There was a way to change the color of your battle aura. He assumed the lighter the color of the battle aura that was the level of strength that you had. He dropped down into an offensive fighting position and he smirked. A cocky little smirk.


He continued to keep his eyes on this green man. “A test, huh?” So he had to fight this green man, he didn’t even know what their name was and it didn’t really matter. He kind of assumed that this dude wasn’t from earth and exactly what were they training for? Was there something coming? He didn’t think people on Earth normally trained for fun. That’s stuff that Saiyans and other warrior races did. He was sort of under a rock most of his life. He has never came a cross any other alien species. Except the humans. To him they were aliens.

Piccolo watched as his opponent took a defensive stance as well. He gave a smirk as he said, "What's wrong? Don't know how to attack? That's fine I guess I'll go ahead and start us off." As Piccolo finished saying this he dashed forward and landed a solid hit against this stranger. To Piccolo's surprise his opponent blocked his attack, but this didn't slow Piccolo down. As he finished the punch he twirled in place and landed a spinning kick into the side of his opponent. He then leapt back and waited for the stranger to respond.

[Cro]

Landing a kick on him? What the hell was that? It hurt. He made the kick look good and he fell down to the ground, face first and he then pushed himself up off of the ground. What was this person that he was fighting? He’s never encountered someone like him before. The kick felt more powerful than a human but not as powerful as a Saiyan. Somewhere in the middle? This person had to be some sort of alien. After he got back to his feet he wiped his mouth off. Sure, he had dodged the first attack and was feeling cocky and then got suckered in by the second attack. That wasn’t going to happen again.


You see, he never liked to attack first. For the sole purpose of scouting out his opponents movements and level of power. He was actually impressed right now and he wasn’t the one that needed to be impressed. It was this alien that stood before him. His onyx colored eyes scanned the man up and down and he then rushed in towards the aliens. He was throwing a flurry of kicks and punches. If the attacks hit, he would go in for a second wave of punches and kicks.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo was surprised at how fast this human was able to recover. It was uncanny, and though he had his guard up, he wasn't prepared for the flurry of blows his opponent unleashed. As he tried to dodge and weave out of the way, a couple hits got him. First was a punch to his face and then a kick to his side. Piccolo knew if this pressure kept up, he was going to have a rough time. Piccolo focus all his ki into the center of his body and unleashed it in an explosion. As the explosion erupted outward he called out, "Explosive Demon Wave!!!" With the force of the attack it pushed the stranger back.

Piccolo stood strong as he stared his opponent down. He then stretched his arm out and grabbed on to his opponent's hoodie and pulled them towards him. As the stranger approached him, he readied an attack and hit his opponent in the face with ki blast, sending them backwards once more.

[Cro]

Explosive Demon Wave? What kind of an attack was that? It pushed him back a few feet and he then felt the green dude grab his hoodie and pull him towards him and then he got a ki blast in the face. He growled. That just pissed him off. If this hoodie got destroyed it wouldn’t be good. He didn’t want these people to know he was a Saiyan. He didn’t think the world was ready for a Saiyan warrior on Earth. He had been knocked back from that ki blast and he looked at the green dude. So this is how it was going to be.


Honestly, he didn’t know this other guy could use ki. Could everyone on earth use ki attacks. He charged up ki in both of his hands and he needed to think hard about the attack he was going to use. All he knew how to do was one weak beam attack. He didn’t want to use that just yet. It probably wouldn’t do much against his opponent anyways. So a flurry of ki blasts? That might work and he knew this was only a ‘test’ he really should kill his opponent. Well, if he wanted to be trained he couldn’t kill this guy.


He sent a flurry of ki blasts towards the green dude. He kind of would assume that this green dude would survive this attack. Honestly, he hoped that he would survive this attack. He wasn’t putting that much energy into this attack. It was just to show this guy that he could defend himself. He really hoped if there were others around that were friends of this guy, that they didn’t attack him thinking he was trying to kill the green guy. This was almost like a fireworks display.


You wanted to test me. He thought to himself and he really wondered why they were out here training. Was something happening that he didn’t know about? He would ask those questions later. He was the typical shoot now and ask questions later type. He’s like John Wayne. Well, he’s seen Earthling movies with that actor in it. Maybe he’s more like Josey Wale’s..

[Piccolo]

Piccolo watches as he sends a flurry of energy blasts. He bats away a few of them and taking the rest directly. He grunts as he gets pushed back a bit and chuckles.
"Not bad. You may have some potential in you."
Piccolo says as he swings his arm out and stretches it sending a punch directly at the strangers face. He used this opportunity to retract towards his arm and delivered a side kick towards the strangers side. This person was showing some skill at fighting but Piccolo had a strange feeling about him.

[Cro]

What was this guy? Ugh, those kicks and punches hurt. The green dude was really powerful and he chuckled when he heard the compliment. So he had potential, huh? So that was that and he just stood there and looked at the green guy. He wondered what they were training for. People like this aren’t usually out in the middle of nowhere for just nothing. So should he attack again? Just wasting your ki and physical energy was a bit stupid and maybe a little reckless. He kept his guard up and then looked around to see if anyone else was around.


Cro looked at the green guy. “So what are you all training for? Something really bad must be coming.”


He wanted to get some information from this guy. He didn’t feel anything bad radiating off of him or any of the other people that were out here. He could sense them, he didn’t know if this green guy had told them to stay hidden or not. He didn’t see anyone else, that didn’t mean they were not there. He was just focused on the guy that was in front of him.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo watched him and listens to him speak, he was curious about him but kept his guard up.
"We are training to fight against the Saiyans that are due here very soon. Why do you want to know?"
Piccolo says and crosses his arms over his chest. He could tell the stranger was holding back and hiding his identity from him. He scowled and waited for his response.

[Cro]

Piccolo watched him and listens to him speak, he was curious about him but kept his guard up.
"We are training to fight against the Saiyans that are due here very soon. Why do you want to know?"
Piccolo says and crosses his arms over his chest. He could tell the stranger was holding back and hiding his identity from him. He scowled and waited for his response.

The Saiyans were coming? That wasn’t going to be good for this planet. Hell, they didn’t know that they had a Saiyan standing right in front of them. He wondered what they wanted on this planet. Power mostly, that is all their race ever wanted. He thought of himself as an outsider, he didn’t want power just to be strong. He had other intentions in mind. He needed to be powerful so he could search the universe for his family. He knew they weren’t dead, just scattered out a cross time and space. Now he wondered which Saiyans were invading Earth.


Cro crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the green being. “You got a name? Or Do I just call you Green Man?”


He didn’t want to act like a dick or high and mighty. He surely wasn’t high nor was he mighty. He was just a commoner by Saiyan standards. He might be considered super human here. Well, he couldn’t be super human. He wasn’t human and he was wondering if the others were going to make an appearance. He wondered if he had passed the test, he hated tests. He was always getting tested on his planet too.


Cro smirked a bit as he looked at the green man. “I’m assuming your the strongest here, right?”


He really hoped this assumption was right, he wanted to fight the strongest among them. He also didn’t want anyone to catch on that he could sense ki and make his ki look like it was weaker. That was a typical battle tactic. Make yourself look weak so your opponent will go all out. He knew that he would have to reveal what he was at some point. That point wasn’t now. They had to train for The Saiyan Invasion.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo stared at the stranger and could sense he was no threat. He crossed his arms over his chest and sighed.
"My name is Piccolo, and for right now yes I am the strongest until Goku comes back. Do you have a name?"
Piccolo says and watched the man eager for a response. He seemed like a good fighter but Piccolo couldn't put his finger on what was bugging him about the stranger.

[Cro]

It looks like he couldn’t hide what he was anymore. The green guys name was Piccolo. That was an interesting name and he wondered what kind of species he was. That didn’t matter. Piccolo said he was the strongest on the planet, that was strange. He swore he could sense a ki that was fluxing. Like it couldn’t contain it’s power level for some reason. Could this being be getting stronger or weaker through emotions? He guessed it was his turn to tell Piccolo his name. It was only fair. He looked at Piccolo.


“My name is Cro.” He smirked as he looked at Piccolo.


He crossed his arms as well and he was about to tell them what he was and why he was on Earth. He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply and then exhaled. He opened his eyes to look at Piccolo once again.


“So you’re fighting my race, huh? This is going to be a long and tedious story. I don’t want to take up your time with my life story. I’m a Saiyan. Plain and simple. You see my family was discarded to a nearby planet not too far from Earth. We were sent there because we were too weak according to the royals. We didn’t fight for sport or power. We fought to survive. The planet was desolate with no life on it. So that meant my family and I had to goto other planets to get food and resources. It was mostly me and my father. My mother tended to the home world. Wasn’t much to tend to. Was just my family and I. “


He paused for a moment, this next part he wished he could forget.


“While I was off world, the planet had got destroyed by an meteor. I came to Earth not too long after that. I just want to find out what happened to my family and planet.”

[Piccolo]

Piccolo listens to the boy introduce himself as Cro then identify himself as a Saiyan. This made Piccolo tense up as Cro explained hinself. The boy didn't seem like a threat but that didn't mean he couldn't be. The boy explained his family was weak and outcasted from the rest of his home world stating they lived on a planet not far from Earth until it's untimely demise. Piccolo nodded and uncrossed his arms.
"As long as your not a threat I don't have an issue with you but don't mistake this for weakness. If I have to take you down I will. You passed your test, now I have to whip that little runt into shape before the others show."
Piccolo said and turned towards where Gohan and Krillin were

[Krillin]

As Lrillin sat next to Gohan the both of them watched Piccolo as he interacted with some stranger he never seen before. He then noticed the stranger remove his hood and he saw the hair. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he looked at Gohan and said, "Hey...check out that guy's hair...is he a saiyan?..."

[Gohan]

Gohan heard what Krillin said and as he did he looked at the guy and saw the hair. He then stood up and he was tempted to go see what was going on.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo watches the newcomer and turns his attention to the two hiding. His patience was wearing thin at this point he had very limited time before the Sayains arrival, and none of them were ready. Wherever Goku and his siblings went he hoped they were on their way soon.
"Alright you two, playtime is over. Get out here and lets get back to training."
Piccolo growled as he crossed his arms across his chest.

[Krillin]

Krillin heard Piccolo and he cringed. He was always nervous around him especially knowing how bad he used to be. He then looked at Gohan and noticed how much more confident he has gotten and he said, "Guess we should go over to him..." He said then took flight and flew over with Gohan following.

[Gohan]

Gohan looked at Krillin and chuckled when he saw him cringe at Piccolo. He then saw him take flight and he quickly followed and the two of them went over to where Piccolo was. He then looked at the stranger and he said, "Hi...what's your name?..."

[Piccolo]

Piccolo scoffed and turned his head. What did it matter who he was, pretty soon if they weren't ready they'd all be as good as dead. Piccolo uncrossed his arms and looked back to the three.
"Get your introductions done with soon, our training starts now."
He says sternly and waits for them to be finished.

[Cro]

Introductions? Oh man. This was going to be dreadful and it looked like Piccolo wanted to get the show on the road. To be honest, he couldn’t blame him. If there were strong warriors invading his planet he would want to have equally strong warriors defending it. That kid seemed a bit too nice. What was he? He could sense a weird energy coming off of the kid and he didn’t know what it was. Could the child be a Saiyan as well. He heard the kid ask him his name. That meant he was going to have to give his name to the kid.

He looked down towards the kid. “My name is Cro.” He looked at the child and then back over to Piccolo. Then back to the kid. “I’m assuming Piccolo is your master.” Maybe master wasn’t the right word to use in this situation. There was another earthling word that meant the same thing as Master. That word was Sensei and it roughly translated into teacher. Master could mean something different on this planet. On his planet Master meant teacher or someone who teaches you things. He needed to grasp the words of this planet and what they meant.

[Gohan]

Gohan stepped up a bit closer and looked at the stranger. He was trying to figure out if he was good or bad but since he wasn't being hostile he figured he may be OK. He then said, "Ha?...oh...well I guess so...I mean he is training me..." He then paused then said, "You're a Saiyan aren't you?..." He asked a bit Leary of the stranger after remembering what happened when he met his uncle

[Piccolo]

Piccolo sensed an enormous energy come from East City and tensed up, slowly turning towards it's direction. It's power was massive and he felt as if something was destroyed as it spiked higher.
"W-what was that?! Such overwhelming power, are they here already?"
Piccolo said through his teeth, if they were here everyone was sure to die. He had barely even begun his training with Gohan and Krillin meaning they were the cream of the crop out of all of them. Even factoring that they had to do something.
"Gohan, Krillin it's time to go. Something has come to Earth and we need to take care of it."

[Gohan]

Gohan had waited to hear from Cro but when Piccolo spoke up and said someone arrived and they had a crazy hi ki. He turned to him and he said, "Ooh??...Ok..." He said and looked over at Krillin and then turned back to Piccolo and said, "OK Mr Piccolo..." He said as he looked up at him and he then added, "We can come and help..." though he honestly didn't know how
