High within the depths of the heavens waves of darkness slowly washed itself over the sky covering it within its eerie cloak. Sparkly dots emerged from out of the night sky as their gentle gaze pierced the cloak of darkness with their soft lights as they stared down below at the world of man. But its eerie grip upon the world was soon vanquished as the eternal daylight once again made itself known by taking its rightful place within the sky. Darkness crept away like a scared spider as the light of a new day brought serenity and tranquillity down below for the people, animals and nature herself to bask in its glory. Above the very clouds stood the silent tower which pierced the sky like a spear penetrating its intended target, deep within the second platform the fluffy white cat Korin stood admiring the view of the blue sky and white fluffy clouds, normally he would be making breakfast by now. But today was special day as his young student had been taught everything that he wanted Goten to learn, as the golden coin of the sun shone down over Korin’s tower he slowly headed towards the west and stood before the big screen that hid Goten’s temporary bedroom. He wanted to let the kid get some much-needed rest but he had no choice as he had a big surprise just waiting for Goten and I meant it was waiting! Using his walking stick he knocked on the big screen twice and called out “Hey! Sorry for doing this but I need to you to wake up and get yourself dressed because I have a big surprise for you!” Behind the giant screen the seven year old boy slowly moaned a little bit and like an old treasure chest he opened his eyes and sat up. Once again he let out a large yawn which opened his mouth and pushed his arms left and right giving them a big stretch. His young mind wondered what was happening after hearing Korin’s voice, he sounded abit serious yet he heard the words “Surprise” slowly he pulled his legs out from underneath the bed linens and slowly sat up on the left side of his bed.
Wondering what the surprise is Goten used his left hand and grabbed his boots. First he placed his left foot into the left boot and did the same but this time he placed his right foot into the right boot and then tied the knots together making sure the boots stayed snug over his feet. Next he grabbed his orange trousers and did the same with his boots as he placed his left leg into the leg trouser hole and his right leg into the right trouser hole only he pulled it up around his waist. Gently he reached for his navy blue shirt and placed it over his head, he then pulled it down so that his head went threw the top hole and then placed his arms into the right arm sleeves. With his first shirt on he used his left arm and picked up his orange shirt and did the same again. But he soon put both his navy blue shirt and orange shirt underneath his orange trousers. To complete his training clothes he picked up a black belt placed it around his waist and tied it up at the right end of his waist until it dropped down loosely. With a sigh he happily smiled and soon opened up the big screen by pushing it to the west, there he stood before Korin who happily smiled towards his student. With a smile back he placed his legs together, the palms his hands together in front of him and bowed his head and body in respect towards Korin “Good morning mister Korin!” The master cat of the martial arts bowed his head also and replied “ Good morning to you as well. I must apologise for waking you up early” Goten simply let out a giggle of excitement and soon rubbed the back of his spiky hair. He replied “You don’t have to apologise mister Korin besides my mom always made up wake up early to train anyway Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh!” He said with a big grin on his face. But time was wasting away and soon he changed the subject and twitched his nose in complete focus it was time for the so-called surprise to be revealed!
Giving out a gentle sigh he said “Goten you have done very well in your training! In fact I have taught you everything that I know. Well to be honest I know a lot more ways to train but you can find them out someday, but as of right now I can’t teach you anything more”. The boy was completely surprised! Why was Korin saying something like this? Was it true that he had indeed learned everything that Korin wanted him to learn? If so what was going to happen? Looking abit concerned Goten said, “You mean you won’t train me anymore?” Korin shook his head in complete denial and quickly responded to his student’s questions “That is not true Goten! you can stop by any time you like. But here is the surprise, I have talked to a person who is much stronger then me. And he would like to train you Goten! For now on he will be your new mentor just for a little while at least”. The eyes of the half Saiyan boy light up in pure excitement; there was someone who was much stronger then Korin was and boy what Korin fast! He imagined someone who were even faster then Korin and that his training would make him much stronger then he was now. With a smirk he said “R…. Really! You mean it mister Korin?”. The cat nodded his head happily and soon Goten was dancing around in pure joy by doing backward flips and somersaults, Korin laughed at Goten’s joy as he listened into the boy’s happy words “ I’m gonna stronger! I’m gonna stronger HAHAH! YEAH!”. As he landed back in front of Korin Goten happily stood before his mentor. Realising that now was the time Korin immediately said to Goten “Ok Goten take whatever personal things you wish and met me on the first platform”. He said and straightaway he headed northwards and started walking upwards towards the first platform. With a nod to Korin Goten headed back to his temporary bedroom and grabbed a handful of his toys and a few cuddly toys as well. Using his energy Goten floated upwards and flew up to the height of the first platform and landed in the middle just as Korin took the first steps onto the first platform. Seeing that his young pupil was ready Korin nodded and said “Goten you are welcome here any time. Your new teacher lies at the very top of my tower”. Goten looked upwards and gasped in amazement, but still as he held a handful of his toys and cuddly toys he bowed his head and happily said “Thank you for everything mister Korin”. The cat simply nodded his head in return and replied “No Kid the pleasure is all mine, feel free to visit once in awhile”. Feeling excited Goten was about to float upward but then he sighed with a concerned look on his face and said to Korin “But what about my mom?”. Goten felt that it was not right to go somewhere new without telling his mom Chi-Chi, but Korin had already taken care of that “Don’t worry about your mom Goten I’ll tell her where you are”. He felt abit guilty leaving without saying anything to his mother but Korin knew that if Goten started training bright and early then he could get used to his new teacher and some new possibilities
Knowing that his mom will be told where he will be Goten floated upwards and soon gave Korin a wave with his available hand “Bye mister Korin!”. He said with a gentle giggle of joy, Korin waved back an said “Good luck kid!” then turning eastwards Goten used his energy to fly towards the east until he was flying in mid air out of Korin’s tower. And soon he flew at maximum flight speed upwards threw the clouds, as he flew he noticed that the thin tower was much taller then he thought. But eventually Goten arrived above the very tower itself and saw a flat circle like platform, this platform was much bigger then the previous platforms and he even noticed that there was palm trees growing in a line to the east and west of each other. Just north of these palm trees was a large shrine with white coloured walls, as he looked down upon the platform Goten gasped in amazement and soon flew downwards towards the platform and landed on his feet, he looked around at his surroundings and said to himself “Whoa! That’s one big area!”. He soon walked forwards towards the shrine, he felt really nervous but if Korin trusted his martial arts master then he shouldn’t be all that bad, moving forwards a few more steps and suddenly stopped as he heard footsteps approaching his direction. He didn’t know if it was the martial artist that Korin had mentioned but he soon learned who it was as a humanoid like man slowly approached him from within the shadows of the shrine, the stranger marched outside to meet the young Goten and revealed his form. He had pure green wriggling skin, long thin green antennas, and wore a white robe with a decoration on the front followed by a blue cape and a walking stick.
Yes Goten’s new martial arts master was indeed Kami the Guardian of the Earth and creator of the Dragonballs. With a gasp Goten looked really surprised as Kami stood before him, but he soon smiled and said “ Say you look like one of those alien guys I fought in South City!”. Kami the wise Namekian couldn’t help but smile and replied “ An alien you say? Heh no I am not one of them Goten! my name is Kami. I am a Namekian and the Guardian of the Earth”. Goten soon realised what Kami had meant his older brother Gohan had told of a man called Piccolo who had trained him since he was little, and Goten himself had see Piccolo a few times but not much since he began his training by himself. But now he was standing before Kami a Namekian who seemed like a nice guy, but he soon realised that he knew his name and quickly asked “Hey how come you know my name?”. Kami continued his smile and said, “ I know many things Goten. That is why I am the Guardian of the Earth. Korin has told me much about your progress during training and I must say your training has been swift indeed! But I have to say you look like your father Goku”. Goten smiled happily and let loose a little giggle, Kami soon noticed the toys and cuddly toys in Goten’s hands and soon said “Ah yes! Please do follow me inside Goten I will show you to your room”. He soon turned around and headed into the shrine which Goten quickly followed him, while entering Kami’s home he was surprised to find that it was bigger inside then outside. He continued to follow Kami out onto a walkway, which headed westwards while giving a pleasant view of the sky and clouds, but they soon stopped in front of a door, which was a brown colour with golden decorations.
Using his available hand Kami opened the door revealing to Goten a large but posh room with white walls. A large royal size bed, a table and chairs, a dresser, a screen, and even a bathroom, which was to the left of the bedroom, Goten gasped in amazement at the size of not only the bedroom but also the bed and everything in it. He smiled and rushed over towards the bed, which looked like it was fit for a king! Kami’s smile grew bigger and said to Goten “This will be your room if you would like to use it. Just over there is a bathroom as well. And don’t worry about food my assistant will be most happy to serve you some of our delicious food”. Goten couldn’t believe his luck! First he gets some new toys and saved South City, but he also got to train with a new martial arts master and get a room which was much bigger then his own! With a smile he placed his toys and cuddly toys down on the king size bed and sighed in complete content, Kami soon said “Whenever you are ready met be back outside”. And soon he closed the door to allow Goten to get used to his new room while he was there to train with Kami.
Moment’s later Goten rushed out of his new room eastwards and then southwards to exit the shrine and stopped just in front of the patient waiting Kami. Holding his walking stick Kami gladly smiled before his new pupil and said “Goten it is an honour to train the son of Goku here in my lookout. Shall we begin your training?”. The nervous but excited Goten nodded his head in complete agreement and looked into Kami’s eyes with a reply “You bet!”. The wise Namekian nodded his head and soon he said to Goten “So be it Goten head towards the middle of the lookout”. Doing just as he was told Goten walked towards the centre of the giant circle platform and stood ready for his first set of training with Kami. Looking focused Kami said, “ Goten first of all I am going to teach you a useful technique, I will teach you how to sense people with your energy. First of all close your eyes and look deep within your heart”. Slowly Goten did just that and closed his eyes then just like in Korin’s training he looked within his very soul and found the energy that lied dormant inside him, just as he did that Kami used his agility and disappeared into thin air using pure speed. As he stood still Kami reappeared just beside Goten and said “Now focus your energy and try to use it to find me”. He again disappeared using his agility leaving Goten to try and focus his thoughts and energy. Trying his best Goten opened his eyes and soon fired a Ki blast towards the west of the position of where he stood, the blast threw itself forwards and barely scrapped the surface of the platform and headed westwards of his position. Kami soon reappeared but he appeared back at the entrance of the shrine and said, “Don’t act so hastily Goten! But fear not this technique will take time to master”. Even though he guessed wrong Goten just simply smiled and replied “Oops! Sorry Heh its kinda new to me Heh, Heh, Heh!”.
Kami smiled and simply said “ You certainly are Goku’s son but never mind Goten it was a good try. Now lets start with some stretches shall we? See if you can give me 5,000 push-ups. I know this may sound a lot but do not fear your own strength!”. Goten was a little startled by Kami wanting Goten to do five thousand push ups but he had some pretty hard training with Korin so if Kami said that he can do this then he can! Slowly he got down on all fours and stretched out his feet while placing his hands in front of him so that he was just lifted above the ground. Strangely though it didn’t feel as bad as always but still five thousands was a long way off but Goten was going to give it a good try! Gently he pushed downwards and then upwards while bending his arms slightly and moved to a gentle rhythm. He used his voice to count his way to the long way off target “One…. Two…. Three”. He said with each push up and down he made, Kami gently watched him and spoke to himself within his very mind “Yes he is indeed his fathers son alright. These Saiyans are truly remarkable, though he is only seven years old Goten’s progress threw training is really amazing”. Hours passed and Goten was still going strong despite the tear drop shapes of sweat slowly dripping from his face and forehead, his arm, and leg muscles began to slowly pull but he moved onwards with his inner determination as ever. From a distant Kami continued to watch over the young Goten as he did his best to get to the require number of push ups, he continued with the counting as he reached a mere two thousand and five hundred push ups. He only was only half way but Goten was determined to not let Korin and his mom Chi-Chi down, especially his new mentor Kami who had given him a grand room to sleep in.
More hours passed and Goten was struggling unlike anything he had done before. His hands were aching and throbbing, his leg muscles were tightening up and felt painful while his arms were really shuddering, as they felt painful. But he was so close to his goal! Drops of sweat seamed down his face and onto the floor of his position as he continued in a snail like pace towards the fabled five thousand push-ups, he gritted his teeth in utter desperation and moaned as his body began to feel really achy while saying “Arghhh, Ugh, F… Four thousand…n…Ugh… Ninety… Nine!” He said as he breathed in and out heavily but finally he used all the energy and strength he had left in his body and finally pushed upwards and then a few minutes later he pushed downwards and said with a grunt “ F…. Five… Thousand! Ngh!”. And soon he just flopped down to the ground face first and breathed in and out in complete exhaustion. Kami walked over to him with a smile and gently said to him “ You have done well Goten forgive me for asking such a high number but I wanted to see your determination. And you have shown me that your heart is a pure as your fathers! My friend will help you back to your room where you may rest”. He said and soon headed back into the shrine, as he tried his best to recover Goten had a gentle smile on his face. Minutes later Goten was placed onto his king sized bed with his head resting on the pillow. Kami gently wiped the sweat from his pupil’s face and watched over him like a father watching his son going to sleep, slowly Goten opened his eyes and looked into Kami and slowly said “ Huh…. Huh… Huh… Sorry for being a pain”. Kami gently placed his hand on the boy’s forehead and gently gave it a gentle pat while giving Goten a reply “You have no reason to apologise Goten! It was my fault for giving you a high number to reach in push-ups. It is your first time training with me Goten and by the time I have taught you everything I think you need to know then five thousand push ups will be as easy as playing with your toys”.
Goten happily smiled towards Kami and gently nodded. Still Kami soon stood up and headed towards the door, there he opened it and was handed a tray full of delicious foods. Smelling the food Goten immediately sat up on his bed and watched as Kami placed it on the boy’s lap, the tray was full with a bowl of spaghetti, a plate full of rice, a bowel full of egg rolls and a plateful of meat buns. Goten’s mouth was watering and he immediately dug into his feast of a dinner he emptied the egg rolls to the last one. The meat buns were, the rice was on the verge of being extinct but it didn’t last long and finally he spaghetti left this world to be in Goten’s pit less stomach. He soon sighed in utter satisfaction and rubbed his tummy as he got the warm feeling that he always enjoyed “ That was so yummy! thanks mister Kami”. The older Namekian smiled with glee and said “Like father, like son, now rest for a while and perhaps you should have a bath”. Standing up he headed towards the door of Goten’s room and said “Rest well Goten we shall begin a full days training tomorrow! I will return shortly”. And soon he opened the door outwards and left Goten as he lay on the bed, breathing in and out he soon sighed and gently he sat up on the bed as he felt the aches and pains of his body from his arms to this hands and legs. They really began to throb like a heart beat slowly he slid off the bed and slowly headed towards the bathroom while using his left arm to hold his right arm which felt abit painful but then again his left arm was painful also.
He reached forwards and turned the tap on the bath to make the water gush out of the tap. He first poured out some hot water then it began to gently let out some smoke but then turned on the cold water tap to cool it down a little bit but not much. Goten remembered last time that his body was aching that his mom Chi-Chi said that a hot water bath would do his body good. Remembering what his mom did Goten untied his black belt from around his waist and slowly got undressed until he was naked, and slowly he got into the bath until his body was surrounded by hot warm water and only his neck and face was untouched by the bath. He leaned back and happily sighed as the hot water massaged his aching body to cool and soothe the pains that he was getting. Luckily he had brought a few of his toys with him and gently played with them to allow time for the water to do its magic. Half an hour later and Goten placed his toys to one side and allowed them to dry off on the side of the bath, slowly he got out of the bath and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself off. He even dried his spiky hair until it was nice and healthy and of course nice and spiky as always. Moments later Goten headed towards the dresser and opened it revealing his own pyjamas and other sets of his favourite training gear, he wondered how they got there but still he was glad to slip on his pyjama top and trousers. He then grabbed his training gear and placed them on a stool next to his bed, Goten then grabbed his boots and placed them beside the stool and climbed up onto the king size bed and gently rested his head down on the soft pillow. Seconds later a knock was heard and Kami slowly entered his room and noticed Goten lying down on the pillow in his pyjamas and said “ You have down well Goten sleep now so that you are ready for tomorrow! Good night Goten”. The seven year old boy grabbed a few more his toys and cuddly toys, gently laid on his left side and yawned while saying “ Uh…. Huh! Good night mister Kami!”. And soon he drifted off to sleep to his favourite dreamland; Kami slowly opened the door to Goten’s bedroom once again and gave Goten a smile. He then closed the door quietly and marched back to his duties of Guardian of the Earth, back in Goten’s room the pure hearted Saiyan hybrid gave a gentle smile of happiness on his face.

First he placed his left foot into the left boot and did the same but this time he placed his right foot into the right boot and then tied the knots together making sure the boots stayed snug over his feet.

With a smile back he placed his legs together, the palms his hands together in front of him and bowed his head and body in respect towards Korin “Good morning mister Korin!” The master cat of the martial arts bowed his head also and replied “ Good morning to you as well. I must apologise for waking you up early” Goten simply let out a giggle of excitement and soon rubbed the back of his spiky hair. He replied “You don’t have to apologise mister Korin besides my mom always made up wake up early to train anyway Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh!” He said with a big grin on his face. But time was wasting away and soon he changed the subject and twitched his nose in complete focus it was time for the so-called surprise to be revealed!
Giving out a gentle sigh he said “Goten you have done very well in your training! In fact I have taught you everything that I know. Well to be honest I know a lot more ways to train but you can find them out someday, but as of right now I can’t teach you anything more”. The boy was completely surprised! Why was Korin saying something like this? Was it true that he had indeed learned everything that Korin wanted him to learn? If so what was going to happen? Looking abit concerned Goten said, “You mean you won’t train me anymore?” Korin shook his head in complete denial and quickly responded to his student’s questions “That is not true Goten! you can stop by any time you like. But here is the surprise, I have talked to a person who is much stronger then me. And he would like to train you Goten! For now on he will be your new mentor just for a little while at least”. The eyes of the half Saiyan boy light up in pure excitement; there was someone who was much stronger then Korin was and boy what Korin fast! He imagined someone who were even faster then Korin and that his training would make him much stronger then he was now. With a smirk he said “R…. Really! You mean it mister Korin?”. The cat nodded his head happily and soon Goten was dancing around in pure joy by doing backward flips and somersaults, Korin laughed at Goten’s joy as he listened into the boy’s happy words “ I’m gonna stronger! I’m gonna stronger HAHAH! YEAH!”. As he landed back in front of Korin Goten happily stood before his mentor. Realising that now was the time Korin immediately said to Goten “Ok Goten take whatever personal things you wish and met me on the first platform”. He said and straightaway he headed northwards and started walking upwards towards the first platform.

A large royal size bed, a table and chairs, a dresser, a screen, and even a bathroom, which was to the left of the bedroom, Goten gasped in amazement at the size of not only the bedroom but also the bed and everything in it.

The nervous but excited Goten nodded his head in complete agreement and looked into Kami’s eyes with a reply “You bet!”. The wise Namekian nodded his head and soon he said to Goten “So be it Goten head towards the middle of the lookout”. Doing just as he was told Goten walked towards the centre of the giant circle platform and stood ready for his first set of training with Kami. Looking focused Kami said, “ Goten first of all I am going to teach you a useful technique, I will teach you how to sense people with your energy. First of all close your eyes and look deep within your heart”. Slowly Goten did just that and closed his eyes then just like in Korin’s training he looked within his very soul and found the energy that lied dormant inside him, just as he did that Kami used his agility and disappeared into thin air using pure speed.

Kami smiled and simply said “ You certainly are Goku’s son but never mind Goten it was a good try. Now lets start with some stretches shall we? See if you can give me 5,000 push-ups.

Strangely though it didn’t feel as bad as always but still five thousands was a long way off but Goten was going to give it a good try! Gently he pushed downwards and then upwards while bending his arms slightly and moved to a gentle rhythm. He used his voice to count his way to the long way off target “One…. Two…. Three”. He said with each push up and down he made, Kami gently watched him and spoke to himself within his very mind “Yes he is indeed his fathers son alright. These Saiyans are truly remarkable, though he is only seven years old Goten’s progress threw training is really amazing”. Hours passed and Goten was still going strong despite the tear drop shapes of sweat slowly dripping from his face and forehead, his arm, and leg muscles began to slowly pull but he moved onwards with his inner determination as ever. From a distant Kami continued to watch over the young Goten as he did his best to get to the require number of push ups, he continued with the counting as he reached a mere two thousand and five hundred push ups. He only was only half way but Goten was determined to not let Korin and his mom Chi-Chi down, especially his new mentor Kami who had given him a grand room to sleep in.
More hours passed and Goten was struggling unlike anything he had done before. His hands were aching and throbbing, his leg muscles were tightening up and felt painful while his arms were really shuddering, as they felt painful. But he was so close to his goal! Drops of sweat seamed down his face and onto the floor of his position as he continued in a snail like pace towards the fabled five thousand push-ups, he gritted his teeth in utter desperation and moaned as his body began to feel really achy while saying “Arghhh, Ugh, F… Four thousand…n…Ugh… Ninety… Nine!” He said as he breathed in and out heavily but finally he used all the energy and strength he had left in his body and finally pushed upwards and then a few minutes later he pushed downwards and said with a grunt “ F…. Five… Thousand! Ngh!”. And soon he just flopped down to the ground face first and breathed in and out in complete exhaustion. Kami walked over to him with a smile and gently said to him “ You have done well Goten forgive me for asking such a high number but I wanted to see your determination. And you have shown me that your heart is a pure as your fathers! My friend will help you back to your room where you may rest”. He said and soon headed back into the shrine, as he tried his best to recover Goten had a gentle smile on his face. Minutes later Goten was placed onto his king sized bed with his head resting on the pillow. Kami gently wiped the sweat from his pupil’s face and watched over him like a father watching his son going to sleep, slowly Goten opened his eyes and looked into Kami and slowly said “ Huh…. Huh… Huh… Sorry for being a pain”. Kami gently placed his hand on the boy’s forehead and gently gave it a gentle pat while giving Goten a reply “You have no reason to apologise Goten! It was my fault for giving you a high number to reach in push-ups. It is your first time training with me Goten and by the time I have taught you everything I think you need to know then five thousand push ups will be as easy as playing with your toys”.
Goten happily smiled towards Kami and gently nodded. Still Kami soon stood up and headed towards the door, there he opened it and was handed a tray full of delicious foods. Smelling the food Goten immediately sat up on his bed and watched as Kami placed it on the boy’s lap, the tray was full with a bowl of spaghetti, a plate full of rice, a bowel full of egg rolls and a plateful of meat buns. Goten’s mouth was watering and he immediately dug into his feast of a dinner he emptied the egg rolls to the last one. The meat buns were, the rice was on the verge of being extinct but it didn’t last long and finally he spaghetti left this world to be in Goten’s pit less stomach. He soon sighed in utter satisfaction and rubbed his tummy as he got the warm feeling that he always enjoyed “ That was so yummy! thanks mister Kami”. The older Namekian smiled with glee and said “Like father, like son, now rest for a while and perhaps you should have a bath”. Standing up he headed towards the door of Goten’s room and said “Rest well Goten we shall begin a full days training tomorrow! I will return shortly”. And soon he opened the door outwards and left Goten as he lay on the bed, breathing in and out he soon sighed and gently he sat up on the bed as he felt the aches and pains of his body from his arms to this hands and legs. They really began to throb like a heart beat slowly he slid off the bed and slowly headed towards the bathroom while using his left arm to hold his right arm which felt abit painful but then again his left arm was painful also.
He reached forwards and turned the tap on the bath to make the water gush out of the tap. He first poured out some hot water then it began to gently let out some smoke but then turned on the cold water tap to cool it down a little bit but not much. Goten remembered last time that his body was aching that his mom Chi-Chi said that a hot water bath would do his body good. Remembering what his mom did Goten untied his black belt from around his waist and slowly got undressed until he was naked, and slowly he got into the bath until his body was surrounded by hot warm water and only his neck and face was untouched by the bath. He leaned back and happily sighed as the hot water massaged his aching body to cool and soothe the pains that he was getting. Luckily he had brought a few of his toys with him and gently played with them to allow time for the water to do its magic. Half an hour later and Goten placed his toys to one side and allowed them to dry off on the side of the bath, slowly he got out of the bath and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself off. He even dried his spiky hair until it was nice and healthy and of course nice and spiky as always. Moments later Goten headed towards the dresser and opened it revealing his own pyjamas and other sets of his favourite training gear, he wondered how they got there but still he was glad to slip on his pyjama top and trousers. He then grabbed his training gear and placed them on a stool next to his bed, Goten then grabbed his boots and placed them beside the stool and climbed up onto the king size bed and gently rested his head down on the soft pillow. Seconds later a knock was heard and Kami slowly entered his room and noticed Goten lying down on the pillow in his pyjamas and said “ You have down well Goten sleep now so that you are ready for tomorrow! Good night Goten”. The seven year old boy grabbed a few more his toys and cuddly toys, gently laid on his left side and yawned while saying “ Uh…. Huh! Good night mister Kami!”. And soon he drifted off to sleep to his favourite dreamland; Kami slowly opened the door to Goten’s bedroom once again and gave Goten a smile. He then closed the door quietly and marched back to his duties of Guardian of the Earth, back in Goten’s room the pure hearted Saiyan hybrid gave a gentle smile of happiness on his face.
