Goku Biography

He sees a monkey walking past, waving its arms slowly up and down, squeaking as all monkeys do. Goku assumes this is King Kai, and thinks that he has to copy him, so he begins walking around waving his arms. He does this for a short while, until the real King Kai appears. He is a short, overweight catfish-like creature, with a humanoid figure. He ahs two tentacles sticking out of his head, and a black uniform on. He laughs at Goku for thinking that he was the monkey, and says that he will begin the training if he can make him laugh. Goku is puzzled by this, but attempts all the same, with his legs shaking under the pressure all the time. He doesn’t understand why it is so hard to stand here, and Kai explains that the gravity is 20 times what Earths is on his planet. Goku groans, and begins the task of making him laugh. After a few attempts of failing miserably, he finally accomplishes the task by delivering a joke so incredibly badly that King Kai can’t help but laugh his head off. He agrees to train Goku, much to the Saiyans delight.

The first task set to Goku is to catch Bubbles the monkey. After whining at the apparently simple nature of the request, Goku reluctantly chases Bubbles. He has a lot of trouble just getting close to the monkey, let alone grabbing it. He pursues Bubbles with relatively fast speed, but still not enough. He slowly begins to gain, but can’t quite get right on the monkeys heels. He goes to grab him, but Bubbles suddenly shoots off into the distance, leaving Goku on the floor, in a world of pain. He tries to contemplate on his next move, and decides to take off his weighted top and boots. This makes him a lot faster, but still doesn’t quite give him the speed required to complete the task. He stays close to Bubbles, and comes close to catching him on a number of occasions. Before Goku can make another move, his stomach starts to rumble. He politely asks for food, and is granted it, taking a quick break from training. Bubbles has a banana, and Goku has bowls full of food, putting King Kai in awe over the amount that he is eating. After a bit of a shock, Kai serves more food, and leaves Goku on the floor, temporarily unable to move because of the amount that he has eaten. Kai realizes this, and regrets giving him so much, but within seconds Goku is on his feet, chasing the monkey again. Before he can get any momentum, King Kai orders him to put his weighted clothes back on, as they make the training more effective. Goku does so, albeit a little unenthusiastically, then begins to chase Bubbles again. He slowly gets used to the gravity, his speed increasing all the time until he can finally keep close to Bubbles. He dives for him, but misses by a few inches, and slams his face against the concrete path. He is up almost immediately, and comes up with an idea. He runs the opposite way to Bubbles, intercepting him, but not quite able to catch him. He continues doing this for a while, then manages to become close enough to pursue him properly, grabbing him before he can escape again. King Kai is amazed at how fast Goku has gotten used to the high gravity, and believes that he is the one.

The next mission for Goku is to hit Gregory, a small cricket with huge eyes, and absurd speed. The Saiyan is a little annoyed by this, because he was hoping that King Kai would train him personally. The martial arts master informs him that he will be trained under his helm after he has hit Gregory with the hammer. Kai then makes a huge hammer appear in his hand, and tosses it to Goku. The Saiyan catches it, but then is pulled down by its extreme weight. Kai knows that he has never given a trainee such a heavy mallet, but believes that Goku can do it none-the-less.

Gregory charges up, then soars through the air, straight at Goku, knocking him off his feet. Goku is surprised by the speed of the cricket, and gets back up onto his feet. This sequence continues for a while, until Goku finally gets the hang of swinging the hammer, and is used to its weight. He begins to move around Kai’s planet, pursuing Gregory with a great deal of ease. Before anything else happens, King Kai calls for a lunch break. Goku drops what he is doing, and zips inside with great speed. He scoffs down the food at an incredibly fast rate. King Kai tells Goku about the Saiyans, and how the gravity of their planet is the same as his, so they get to train in naturally tough conditions. He also says that they have a natural ability to fight. Goku hops of his seat, angry at all this, but he calms himself down, then runs out to chase Gregory again, casually telling Kai that he’s a Saiyan too as he goes out.

He swings for him, but misses, destroying the ground, Kai’s car, and knocking down many of the trees on the planet. All this damage contributes to Goku’s training though, as his sluggishness decreases with every blow. He keeps on narrowly missing, and comes up with an idea. He throws the mallet straight at Gregory, and the cricket flies away. Goku then sprints his fastest down the opposite side of the planet, on an intercept course. He arrives just as the hammer outruns Gregory, and he catches it, swinging towards the cricket, and merely tapping him on the head with no real force. Gregory complains, but after a bit he accepts defeat. The cricket laughs at Goku telling him that he couldn’t hurt him even if he tried, until the Saiyan points out the small lump on Gregory’s head. Everyone laughs, including Gregory (Eventually). King Kai can’t believe how powerful Goku has become, and how well he is completing the designated tasks.

Goku asks King Kai if it is time for him to train under the martial arts masters helm, and Kai tells him that it is. He asks Goku if he is ready to learn the techniques that he was unable to, and Goku nods seriously. The training will soon begin.

70 days pass, and everything goes ahead relatively well, up until the last day. King Kai tells Goku that it is time to review all that he has learnt, and Goku is pleased to oblige. First he must see how fast he can catch Bubbles. The monkey sets off, then Goku does, catching up Bubbles in less than a second. Kai is amazed, but doesn’t let it distract him. He then launches Gregory away, and Goku manages to seemingly disappear and reappear in front of the cricket, tapping him on the head with the hammer. Kai checks the stopwatch, and sees that it says 1.2 seconds, an amazing speed, and a huge improvement to what it was at the start. He then has to go through his spirit bomb technique. He draws in all the energy from all living things on the planet, and struggles to form it into a ball, succeeding in the end. He then feels out the energy as King Kai throws a huge cube at him, with Goku blasting it with the Spirit Bomb. Kai is amazed at how well the Saiyan can control the energy, but reminds him that it will take a lot longer to gather the energy required on Earth, as it is a bigger planet, meaning more life forms. Goku understands.

Before he leaves, Goku says bye to everyone. King Kai gives him a new battle uniform too – Basically the same as his old one, except it bares his symbol on the back. Goku is pleased with this, and is about to leave when suddenly a dilemma hits Kai. He forgot to add the number of days that it would take for Goku to run snake way in his calculations. Goku is irate at this, it took him almost a year to do it first time. King Kai informs him that he will be able to do it in just under two days now, with his improved speed, but that is a day late, as there is only 24 hours left until the arrival of the Saiyans. Kai apologises, and Goku doesn’t have time to argue. The halo disappears from his head, signalling that the people on Earth have wished him back to their physical plain. He waves bye, then speeds away, coming straight back at them, then jumps high above the planet, onto Snake Way.
