Dragon Saga

Chapter 4 - Training Begins

After the duel, Yamcha was resting while groaning in pain from time to time and Ethan was sleeping out cold without any care about the serious injuries he had suffered.

"Goku you should get a few Senzu beans for them. Yamcha is still alright with minor injuries but the kid might not recover for a long time with the condition he is in."

"Even if it's minor, the bruises still hurt. That brat bashed every corner of my body and even bit me a few times when my guard was down."

"What is a Senzu bean?"

As turtle hermit told Goku to bring the legendary beans from the Korin Tower to heal Yamcha and Ethan, Alex asked about the beans so that he didn't have to act surprised later and to check whether there is any difference in the real thing and the one he knew from the anime.

Master Roshi was quite astute when it came to determining the ability and personality of someone, so Alex had to work a bit to hide the knowledge he had about Earth from the anime.

At the moment they were still adapting to the new world and comparing all the facts they knew from a fictional world with the real world.

After discovering the difference in intensity of the Saiyan instincts Alex had to be more careful with the Saiyan abilities and dissimilarity they might have to face in the future. If he nonchalantly tried to control the great ape form without any prior preparation and lost all sense of control, it could turn out disastrous.

After Krillin explained about the beans that healed all the injuries, even if the person taking it is on the brink of death. Alex confirmed the beans were about the same as they had been in the anime.

"You can get the beans tomorrow, let him rest for the night and recuperate on his own. I think it's better for Ethan and me to experience all that we can to grow in the future and for now, Ethan isn't in any danger with those injuries, so it should be fine."

Thinking about what Alex said Goku acknowledged the idea to train by experiencing all kinds of situations.

"What about me? You guys can experiment all you want with your Saiyan body but I'm still a human from Earth you know."

"Come on Yamcha, even if he is a Saiyan the kid is still around fourteen. So if he could take the pain for the whole night you can handle it as well."

As Yamcha was complaining about his injuries, Bulma calmed him down then looked at Alex and said,

"You guys should train with Roshi to get accustomed to your own body and strength, that way you'll get used to the environment on Earth as well."

"That's great! That way Krillin would get sparring partners during training and even I can join them from time to time."

Listening to Bulma's advice Goku got excited about the two Saiyans growth while Krillin and Master Roshi felt a bit worried looking at Yamcha's current situation.

Alex dragged Ethan to the side to let him rest and was musing on how to keep their Saiyan instincts in check.

Goku had somehow lost his memories from when he was on Planet Vegeta and wasn't as aggressive as an average Saiyan should act.

Whereas his and Ethan's Saiyan body was created when they were summoned in this world. So Alex didn't know how much of a similarity they shared with a normal Saiyan and whether there was any irregularity hidden in the body.

On Bulma's advice, Alex decided to stay with Master Roshi and test his body while training.

"Master Roshi, please accept us as a disciple and train us to be a martial artist the same way you did with Goku."

"Yeah Roshi, just accept them and don't even try to pull any perverted tests the same way you did with Krillin and Goku."

Master Roshi thought for a while and looked toward the passed out Ethan before speaking,

"I'll take you as my disciple for now but I think you guys are strong enough to get training from Kami. Anyways, you guys can train under me to clear the basics and understand what training to become a martial artist is before you seek Kami."

Looking towards the direction of Korin Tower he continued,

"It's a shame though, I could have asked you to find a kind and beautiful caretaker for me if you guys knew more people on Earth."

Alex listening to the old man as he looked toward Ethan and held his forehead while thinking about the hurdle he might have to face during this training period.

As the dusk came Bulma brought out a few capsule houses for the gang to rest for the day and leave the next day.

After dinner, Alex sat with Master Roshi and told him about his concerns about controlling the Saiyan instincts.

Master Roshi thought for a while then replied that they can try meditating for now and he can later come up with special training for them to keep their instincts and emotions in check.

In the end, Goku went to get Senzu beans before the day ended.

The next day morning Ethan and Yamcha who had gotten first aid treatment before going to sleep took the Senzu beans to recover completely.

When Ethan was given the bean to recover, Master Roshi and other fighters were surprised to see the difference of increase in power from before.

Ethan opened his eyes as all the fatigue left his body and he could feel the vast amount of difference in his abilities from before he passed out.

"Why does it feel like I had eaten a whole lot of vegetables mixed with herbs? Alex, did you make me eat grass and leaves while I was sleeping? You do remember the last time you did that I was hospitalized for almost a month, don't you?"

As Ethan asked this question most of the guys looked towards Alex with perplexed gazes, who just turned his head towards the left concentrating in the distance as if a few spacesh.i.p.s had just landed there that needed his attention more than anything.

"Ahem! Goku just gave you a Senzu bean, it smells and tastes like vegetables."

Krillin awkwardly coughed and replied to clear Ethan's misunderstanding.

In time everyone was saying their farewells to go their own way to train as Alex had told them that Earth is located in the North Galaxy whereas Frieza's base of operation is around South Galaxy.

So they will have a few years to train and in those years Bulma would try to find out about Frieza's activities and location, so it was decided that others would train on their own as Bulma collects information about their enemy.

Soon enough Bulma dropped Master Roshi, Krillin, and the two Saiyans at Kame House as she left towards Capsule Corp.

After reaching the island Master Roshi sent Krillin to get a few uniforms ready for the two.

"Old man when are you starting our training?"

"You can start training with Krillin from tomorrow, for today we will just check your current physical abilities."

When Krillin came back with their uniform, he gave Alex a capsule set that he requested to Bulma after watching her set capsule house.

When Master Roshi tested the two he was surprised to find out that Alex had as much strength as Krillin when he participated in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament and Ethan who was equal in strength, had grown twice as strong from before the duel.

The two needed to control their instincts the most before they train to raise their strength, so the first day of the training passed as both of them meditated and tried to calm their wild nature.

Master Roshi let Krillin lead the two for any physical exercises but kept a close watch when the two meditated.

It was the third day of training, Alex and Ethan had their lunch and were resting in the shade of a tree near a farm.

"Hey Alex, don't you think the old man's training is similar to those Xianxia cultivators?"

"On this Earth, almost all the old hermits and martial artists are practicing a similar type of cultivation it's just anime portrayed them to look like superpowers.

There are other magic abilities but even the Senzu is cultivated by that old cat who is also hailed as the God of Martial Arts with his many years of hard work."

"So you're saying we'll have to either murder that fat swordsman or learn how to cultivate those beans by ourselves?"

As Ethan questioned about the beans Alex suddenly remembering something and thought for a moment before looking at Ethan with shining eyes.

"I still don't swing that way, so don't even think about proposing to me."

"You little Shithan! I just remembered reading an article that explained Senzu but it also described a bit about Ultra Divine Water.

If the theory written in that article is correct we might be able to solve this instinct problem and get stronger at the same time. But before we go and try the water we should try the hard way to control our ape forms as much as we can."

This way Alex decided to try and gain control of their Great Ape transformation before they try to gain control over their Saiyan instincts that even influenced the emotions.

In the series, Goku and Vegeta had followed their instincts till the end, so it won't be that easy for them to gain full control over it.
