[it had been an interesting first week here in Luceti for one of the newcomers. between a birthday party, meeting gods and mortals alike from all sorts of different universes, realizing the gap between himself and his longtime rival and friend was a large one at that, and learning all that he needed to know about the Malnosso and the Third Party alike... Goku had one thing in mind. get stronger, learn the secrets of shifting and hopefully use that power against the ones keeping them here and against the enemies that would destroy him and his loved ones. nothing would ever sway him from that goal.

but right now he knew that it wouldn't be enough- with only half of his power at the ready, he needed to train harder. not only to catch up to Vegeta, but to retain that former strength he once had. it was going to take quite some time, but if anyone could make it happen, it was Goku. and right now he's currently sitting on the roof of the fourth community house, opening the journal and giving the people of Luceti a friendly grin]

Hey everyone! I don't think I've gotten a chance to meet everyone here yet, but my name is Goku! I've got a favor to ask if anyone would like to help me out here.

See, I'm going to train so that one day we can properly take out the Malnosso and the Third Party and I can't exactly do much by myself for long. I know we've got a long way to go and they're really dangerous, [as he got the gears from Saori for when he first arrived] but that's exactly why I want to be ready for them when it's time to save everyone.

So! Who wants to have a spar? I wouldn't mind testing myself against some of the other real strong fighters here. And if you're not that strong, that's fine too if you want someone to train with.

We're all in this together, after all!

...

So I should stop and accept things. Is that what you're saying, Vegeta?

That's isn't what I'm saying at all! Open those ears of yours! [How could he think that...!]

What I'm saying is that you better have a pretty good backup plan than using our normal energy to fight. Because it isn't going to help you in a lot of situations. Don't you look at me like that, I've been working just as hard if not harder to train and prepare myself. I've just had to do it in different ways, is all. You just don't know because you haven't experienced it yet!

What would you say if I told you that not only does the power of this world drive men to insanity, that is also keeps the dead from staying dead. It's a war, Kakarot! A war that we can't even eliminate our enemies unless we bomb them with a shift bomb that creates a dead zone that doesn't allow them to come back for hundreds of years! And then! They'll still come back! How do you plan on fighting that?! Answer me that!

[he's taken aback when Vegeta snaps at him like that. granted he's used to it, but the gravity of the conversation is on an entirely different level. he doesn't try to interject either, especially when Vegeta makes mention of the shift bomb and a dead zone. he knew what Vegeta was trying to do now. truth be told, if he didn't have Vegeta to ground him in the first place? he may have been in far more trouble than he realized. by this point the idea of shifting was becoming even more of a brutal last resort instead of a technique he would have liked to own. he didn't have an answer. a true one for him]

I'm sorry. I might have jumped the gun, and I know that you've been trying hard. You're even stronger then I am.

You're right though. I don't have a backup plan. Not yet anyway... But I know that there's gotta be a way to win, without shifting and even if our normal means of fighting won't do it. That's why I'm going to figure out what it'll take someday.

[Goku says this without any sort of doubt in his mind. and without implying that Vegeta hadn't been trying either. if anything, they could do it together]

If the techniques I know now won't help us win, I'll just have to learn new ones that will. [ones that WEREN'T shifting]

[He'd been pretty tensed up at Goku's accusatory statement, but now he finally relaxes. Finally, the idiot was listening to him, even through that iron will of his that everything could be solved. And really, Vegeta does believe there's a way- but here, it's much trickier than anything they've dealt with in the past. There's no one single entity to beat. It's so much more complicated than that and that's something the hero was going to have to come to understand one day.

Vegeta's learned the hard way, already.]

That's all fine and well, Kakarot, but this time it's going to take a lot more than just you and I for this one. [He's not discouraging him, but he's just trying to make a point.] There's a bureaucratic side to this too. The Third Party may be one we can take on with our strength alone temporarily, but the idiots who house us here seem to be more than just a little red tape. You can imagine I haven't fared well in that area. Talk is cheap, as far as I'm concerned.

[Usually the NPC's tell him to go fuck off, so.]

If I were you, I'd gather as much information as you can get your hands on when the opportunity arises- perhaps that will lead to more clues. I think there's a lot more to this than just 'beating the Malnosso' or 'beating the Third Party'. It's a game of figuring out how the power of this world works, how the Third Party can break the circle of life and death and the science behind manipulating said power. It's the first thing I haven't been able to blast my way through to.

Well hey, Bulma's here, right? She told me to bring her along whenever I meet one of those spirits!

If anyone can find a solution, it's her. [which means don't mind Goku as he takes your wife on Dragon Ball adventures again down the line. 'kay? 'kay]

Must everything be so simple to you?! [JUST...asfjaskl;fjasdkl;fjasdkl;fjl]

[HE'S JUST

GUNNA LEAVE THAT ALONE BECAUSE

UGH, BRAINLESS]

Listen, you take care of things your way and I will take care of them my way. But I think what would do you some good is to accompany me out on a mission sometime. I need to go anyway, and then you'll understand what I'm trying to tell you.

[YES! because simple works for Goku! :D]

Sure! I'm not doubting you or anything, so whenever I get a chance to see what we're up against, I'll go.

Then it's settled. I'll take care of it Kakarot, since I can't trust you not to screw it up. I'll let you know when we leave. Make sure you bring a weapon with you, because you're going to need it.
