Training Parallels

Kami and Goku appeared a moment later on a platform surrounded by yellow clouds in all directions with light beating down on them even though Goku couldn't see the sun anywhere. 

"Wow Kami, where are we?" he asked excitedly as he looked around his eyes landing on a building in the distance that a row of white clouds proceeded into slowly. Kami began following and although Goku wanted to explore he quickly followed after his sensei. 

"This Goku, is the gateway to the afterlife, where anyone after they die proceeds to pass through ... even me someday, I will pass through this gate." Goku just hung open his mouth in shock "Wow ... so that's why you were saying it would have been easier if I died ... but it all worked out fine didn't it." Kami nodded as they walked, "Possibly better ... since if you were to die in any future battle it wouldn't be as hard to revive you, since the dragon balls can't revive you more than once," Kami wanted to add currently and only these versions but he held his tongue.

"So what are all those clouds sensei?" Kami answered without looking as if this was all normal, maybe for him it was, "These are all the souls of the departed ... this is one of many gateways, but this one is managed by an old friend." They went into the building and the first thing or person that Goku's eyes landed on was the large ... no giant man sitting ahead of him looking through a giant book with what looked like two guards around him. Kami and Goku waited in line for a while and Goku watched as the clouds formed into people when they got to the front of the line. 

He watched in shock and sometimes amazement as some people turned into clouds before floating into the sky after the large man read out about their lives in the book, the others weren't so lucky, sometimes being struck by lightning or frozen before they were carted away or simply thrown over the side. They finally got into line after a while, even though Kami had told Goku they were getting faster than usual service because of the favour he called, it still took some time before they stood before the man. 

The man looked over his book at them before looking down and then doing a double take, "So Kami, you have brought him." "Yes my friend ... Goku this is King Yemma, an old friend I have known for a long time."

"Hi King Yemma," Goku said excitedly, he had never met any of Kami's friends except Mr. Popo, but he didn't think he had many to be honest.

"Him being a mortal does complicate things a bit, but let's look over his file." King Yemma went to read over his book quietly humming to himself while throwing random glances at Goku once in a while before letting out a huff. "All of it seems in order, he seems good enough," there was a rumble around the back of the building as a gate seemingly appeared out of nowhere behind King Yemma to the right of him. Kami looked at it for a moment before nodding, "I'm afraid this is where we part Goku."

Goku was startled for a moment because he didn't know what he would have to do now, Kami reached behind into his cloak and pulled out a fairly large bag handing it to Goku. He looked at it curiously before glancing inside. There was a mix of senzu beans and Capsules in the fairly sized bag, "if you had died you wouldn't need to eat or drink for this long journey but since you're still mortal, me and Bulma have packed what should be enough food for the journey."

"Journey?" Goku asked nervously, Kami had spoken about it so much without actually going into detail about what it entailed.

Kami pointed at the path that had appeared behind King Yemma, it looked like a winding path above the clouds that looked similar to Shenron's body. "That is Snake Way, King Yemma has granted you permission to travel it to train with King Kai ... he was impressed by your battle with Raditz and that you managed to defeat him." The parts clicked into place for Goku, that Kai? "Wow that sounds amazing, shouldn't take long to get there."
