Dragon Ball: Goku Si c20

~~~~~~2 Years Later~~~~~~

“Hahaha! There it is! The Rice Cooker, which has Demon King Piccolo sealed inside!” a green gremlin exclaimed as he held an old, rusty cooker from hundreds of years ago.

Yet, even if it was old, it was still good enough to keep a literal Demon King inside.

Talk about human ingenuity…

“With him released, I will rule the world!”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Mai chipped in, destroying Pilaf's hype bubble.

“You mean he will rule the world?” The ninja dog chipped in, too.

“S-Shut up, you two! If I release him, he will give me a small land to rule! And I will be fine!” the gremlin exclaimed with nearly teary eyes.

“Besides, there is no one stronger than King Piccolo! With his help, we can get rid of that monkey boy!”  

The ‘Emperor’ Pilaf said with a snappy tone as he then opened the cooker, and with a green blast, a very tall man dressed in dark blue Gi manifested. He had a ‘Demon’ symbol on his back.

“Did you the one who let me out?” King Piccolo asked as he looked quite old.

When Pilaf saw the Demon King in the flesh, he nearly shit himself from fear!

“Oh, mighty King Piccolo, help us!”

Snort

“Why would I help you?” Piccolo snorted from disgust.

“T-There is this boy who can turn into a large monkey, and he has dragon balls! The brat is the strongest fighter in this world, and he destroyed my castle!”

“...Oh?”

A couple of words got the Demon King’s attention… like ‘strongest’ and ‘Dragon Balls’.

The rest, he didn’t care…

~~~

“It appears he is out.” Goku opened his eyes as he was sitting on his tree stump.

“Indeed. It was about time as well.” Aeos did the same, and she had a small smile.

Demon King’s threat is a good advertisement for their Sect.

The Goddess became interested in the whole Sect project as someone who used to collect talented fighters for her cause. Something like a ‘Sect’ had never popped into her mind before.

But Goku, who spent days building it, had such passion that the Goddess was moved. She started to chip in and created two training places. One is the Time Room, which has a similar principle to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber but with controllable gravity, which makes it better than the room in the Lookout.

The other room, which is even more impressive, is the Room of Parallel Timelines. In this room, one can fight enemies from other timelines.

Like for example, Freeza, Cell, Buu…

Of course, there are much weaker enemies, which Aeos added as well.

As Supreme Kai of Time, she made sure these grounds lived up to her name.

Apart from these, the Sect has an array of training areas where one could train to their content, from environmental hazards to actual gym equipment.

Goku has spent days to weeks testing and training to make sure everything works.

But now everything is ready, and they can finally open the doors to their first members.

The World Martial Arts tournament will be the best place to get those members.

The pair proceeded to prepare for the tournament. Their preparations included placing a simple barrier on the Sect before they left towards the island.

~~~

“It appears the Tournament is a much bigger deal this time around,” Krillin said to Yamcha as the pair stood with Master Roshi in line to sign up.

“Yeah, the place is crowded.” The Ex- Desert Bandit said with crossed arms.

The pair spent four years training for this tournament! One of those years was in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

The pair literally tortured themselves to be strong, and their power increased many times.

Krillin's power was over 11,000, and Yamcha was similarly strong. They were pretty much similarly strong, and no one except Goku and Aeos could beat them.

But…sadly, the gap between Goku and them is enormous. They don’t even know how strong Aeos is…

“Are they here to see us three take all the three winner positions,” Yamcha smirked while saying.

Before Krillin could comment, an annoying old man's voice interrupted.

“Old Turtle, are these your current students?” 

“Hmm?”

The pair turned to the side and looked at an old man who looked like a viper. He had glasses and a hat with a crane on it. He was dressed in green and yellow, and on his stomach was a word for crane.

“Old Crane, have you finally decided to send your students to the tournament?” Roshi walked to the front and looked at Shen, the Master of Crane School. Behind him were two of his students.

One was a tall teen with three eyes, and the other was a dwarf who was floating with a face full of paint.

“Of course, I can’t allow your students to win how they did last time!” The man almost screamed with a pissed-off tone.

“It's already too late.” A voice said from the sky.

The group looked up and saw the blonde boy slowly descend down.

“Goku! You're finally here!” Krillin smiled, seeing his friend after three years. One year is from the training in the special room.

“Yeah.”

Hmph!

“So the ‘champion’ is here,” Old Crane said with a disgusted tone. Any student of Roshi automatically becomes a disliked person for the Old Crane.

“This year's champion as well,” Goku smirked while saying that as he and the girl next to him landed on the ground.

“Such arrogance! Old Turtle, you should train your students better!”

“Since when is truth arrogance?” the blonde asked with a curious look. He looked even innocent, but he was far from that… 

“M-Master Shen, we should move on.” The tall, three-eyed teen said with a frown as he sensed the huge amount of power radiating from this boy. He was dangerous.

“Nonsense! Tien Shinhan!” Old Crane got snappy before deciding to move on anyway.

“Regardless, my greatest pupil, Tien Shinhan, shall defeat you all! So just you wait!” With another snort, the trio walked away.

“That tall kid is not bad. Pity he is studying under Old Crane.” Roshi said with a pitying tone.

“Don’t worry, Master Roshi! We shall beat all of them!” Krillin clenched his fist as he was ready to whoop ass, and Yamcha nodded.

“Good. I have full confidence in you all.” The turtle Hermit nodded as he was happy enough that his student would beat his old rival.

~~~

As they were waiting in line, another person looked at them. It was a girl with blue hair.

“Goku!”

The blonde Ascended Super Saiyan looked at the source of the voice. His eyes widened slightly when he saw Bulma.

“Bulma?” 

“Who else!? It has been four years!” The girl huffed as she walked over. The one who looked confused was Krillin, as he had never seen this girl before. While Aeos had a look of realisation as she recalled who this girl was.

‘Goku’s childhood friend and wife of Vegeta…’ 

However, the Goddess of Time felt slightly threatened as she had this strange feeling…

“Guys, this is Bulma. We went on an adventure four years ago.” Goku introduced herself, and Aeos positioned herself to hug Goku’s hand instead of standing next to him.

Bulma obviously saw this and rolled her eyes.

“Oh, Bulma, nice to meet you. I am Krillin, and this is Yamcha.” The bald ex-monk introduced himself and his fellow Turtle Student before introducing the Turtle Hermit.

“And This is—”

“I know, Turtle Hermit. I met him before.” Bulma already knew, so she looked at Goku instead.

“Goku? Who is the girl?”

“This is Aeos, my Fiance.” The Ascended Super Saiyan introduced her.

GULP

Bulma slightly gulped down when she heard that.

“Do you know who she is?” The blue-haired girl asked the Saiyan in a low voice.

“Of course, he knows.” Aeos rolled her eyes as she intercepted.

“...H-How did this happen?” The girl tried to understand how such romance even happened!

“I dropped in his hands, and it was love at first sight.” Aeos messed with Bulma, but the girl palled as she realised how messed up fate was! 

She literally hoped that such a thing would not happen!

“Goku…what the hell is with your luck!?” Krillin pouted as he looked with some jealousy.

“Slightly exaggerated, but she is not wrong.” The Saiyan’s smile was slightly twitchy.

“Come now. It's the truth. When I woke up in bed, my injuries healed, and Goku was already preparing dinner for me.”

Aeos started to explain with a proud tone as she started to re-tell her story. It was obviously targeted towards Bulma as the Goddess feels threatened by this female.

“Yes. Well, you were in a massive crater…” Goku recalled it as well. “And you were hurt, so you needed help.”

“Indeed, and after you healed me, I asked what you wanted as a reward, and you said you wanted me as your fiancee, to which I naturally agreed.” Aeos smiled while saying that.

“...”

Bulma bit her lower lip as she realised that she was set up! Is there some sort of downside to using Dragon Balls? She gets great luck, but in turn, she will get bad luck later!

“Damn… you are lucky.” Krillin chipped in, and the other two guys nodded in agreement.

“Luck has nothing to do with it. I saw his talent, so I struck first.” Aeos said that with slightly narrowed eyes as she mentally told Goku to zip it. She won’t going to mention that she never considered marriage before in her very long life.

“...You had your chance,” Aeos whispered to Bulma before pulling Goku towards the register point.

“...Ugh…”

“...”

“...”

“...”

The boys ignored this as they didn’t want to get into a catfight…

“Hahaha, let's go, guys, to register as well.” Krillin ignored the intense atmosphere between them and pretended he didn’t sense a thing.

~~~

Unlike three years ago, the tournament had 80 more participants, and because of that, it will last two days.

Many of the people looked at Goku with different gazes than they had the previous time. They all can see that he was more ripped, and the aura he had was more intense than before. Sadly, the aura they were sensing was less than 99.99% of his power.

Over the past two years, while building his Sect, he has pushed his Ki control to the very limit and devised a couple of new visualisation methods for control.

They were so successful that he even taught them to his Fiance, who in turn gave him a pendant with Time inside of it. Giving him something new to learn.

One way or another, he made Aeos even more powerful and more clingy… Which is a good thing in his books. A clingy wife is better than an aloft one, and cuddles are always a good thing.

“Number 95 and number 96, you are up.”

“Oh, that is my number.” The Ascended Super Saiyan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard one of the organisers speak.

Goku walked to the ring, and some karate practitioners were in front of him.

“I won’t be holding back, even if you are a kid.”

“Sure. As the champion, you should come at me with full force and extra.” Goku motioned to come at him.

“Fine!”

The guy tried to lunge at him, but an invisible wall was pushing him back… 

“I-I can’t stop it! W-What the hell!” The guy tried to push the invisible wall back, but all it did was that he was pushed out

Seconds later, the practitioner flopped out from the ring.

“The winner is number 95…”

Goku smiled as he walked out of the ring. He went right back to his corner and waited there. He already realised that no one could see his fiance, who had been right next to him the whole time.

“A wall of pure intent… not bad… you are becoming a full-rounded warrior.” The Goddess knew what it was well enough.

“Yes. Better than last time.”

“Yes, last time you needed to gaze. This time around, you needed to think only.”
