The Runaway Experiment

Other World

Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Segira appeared in a large garden-looking area not a second after they disappeared from in front of Bulma at Capsule Corp. Segira, still shaking a little, looked around in confusion, an expression of uncertainty on her face.

"Where are we? Where did Capsule Corp go?" She asked in confusion.

Goku lowered his hand to his side and looked down at her as Gohan, Goten, and Trunks let go of him. Trunks and Goten eagerly ran around the large garden as Gohan told them to stay close, but they probably weren't going to listen. "We're in Other World, it's where good people go when they die if they want to train. We shouldn't see any of those scientist guys here." Goku explained to Segira.

Segira looked up at Goku with a lifted eyebrow. "Does that mean we're dead?"

Goku chuckled softly. "No, we came here with my Instant Transmission technique."

Segira tilted her head to the side. "Instant Transmission? What's that?"

Goku released her hand smiled at her as he crossed his arms over his chest loosely. "It's a technique I learned on another planet a few years ago. I put my middle and index fingers on my forehead and locate someone's energy signature. Once I've got a lock on their energy, I just concentrate really hard and I appear next to them. It sounds easy, but it takes a long time to master."

Gohan stood next to Goku and put a hand on Goku's shoulder. "Yeah, it took my dad a whole year to master the technique." Gohan said.

Segira looked around again. "But why did we come here? I thought the world had a lot more places in it than Capsule Corp and the lab." Segira said.

Gohan chuckled. "Trust me Segira, there are a lot more places in the world."

"But this is probably the best place for you to train right now. Those scientist guys can't get here even if they died." Goku told her.

Segira looked at him and nodded. "So, where do we start?"

Goku smiled eagerly, looks like Segira was completely on board now. "First we need to see how strong you are. Once we know that, we can start your training on a level you can handle. One of us can spar with you and go easy so we can see what your limit is."

Segira lifted an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side again. "But, I don't know how to fight. All I know are things I either heard or experienced at the lab."

"Didn't you ever get tested on your fighting skills?" Gohan asked, a little shocked at what she just said.

She looked at him and shook her head. "No, all the tests were on intelligence, sometimes speed, pain tolerance, and several other things. I can't remember what the scientists called most of the tests, but I do remember that I was horrible at most of them."

Gohan smiled. "Well learning how to fight in your training is something you'll definitely be good at."

She blinked and tilted her head slightly to the side again. "Really?"

Gohan nodded. "Yeah! It's in your blood. Saiyans are bred to fight, not mastering tests like that. Well, most of the time anyway."

Segira smiled a little. "Okay, I'll trust you on this. You probably know a lot more about Saiyans than me."

Gohan scratched the back of his head and smiled a little. "Well when you're dad's a Saiyan and you're half Saiyan, you learn a few things. You'll learn quite a few things about yourself too in time."

Segira opened her mouth to reply, but before she could say anything, a man, most likely and alien of some sort, came walking around a corner of some large bushes. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Segira in the garden, but he relaxed once he saw Goku.

"Hey Goku, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Did you die saving the earth again?" He asked as he walked over to Goku and the others, his voice was deep, strong, and gruff.

His skin was dark green, his eyes were dark red, he had no nose, and had pale pink lips. He wore a tall dark brown hat with a white ribbon tied around the bottom of it with a golden metal-looking thing on it, the ends of the white ribbon that was tied around his hat reached down to his upper legs. He wore a white short-sleeved, V-neck shirt, it looked more like a vest than a shirt, with a dark purple long-sleeved undershirt, and he wore white baggy pants with a dark brown belt, a golden belt buckle. The bottom of the vest-like shirt was tucked underneath the belt and looked like a skirt without the front. He also wore dark brown shoes and he had a yellow halo over his head.

Goku looked at the alien and smiled as he walked over to them. "Oh hey Pikkon! No, I didn't die again, I just thought we could train here for a bit." Goku told Pikkon.

Pikkon, who now stood in front of Goku and the others, lifted an eyebrow. "What? Why would you train here? There are plenty of places you can train back on earth aren't there?" Pikkon asked.

Goku shrugged. "Yeah, but I thought this place would be better than anywhere else on earth. We could train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but we can't really use it since Piccolo destroyed it a few years ago"

Pikkon looked at Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Segira curiously, Trunks and Goten came back to Goku and the others once Pikkon came over. "And who are these guys?"

Goku looked at them. "Just some friends and family I brought to train with me. This is Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Segira. Gohan and Goten are my sons."

Pikkon blinked. "Hmmm... Interesting." He lifted an eyebrow when he saw something moving around behind Segira. "Hey, is that a Saiyan tail?! She's a Saiyan?!" Pikkon asked Goku in shock.

Goku looked back at Segira as she hid behind him shyly, she looked up at Pikkon with an unsure expression. "Yeah, we found her earlier today. Gave us quite a shock when we saw her tail."

Pikkon took a small step forward. "If she's a Saiyan, then I want to fight her! It's been a while since I last fought a Saiyan!" Pikkon said excitedly.

Goku blinked before quickly waving his hands at Pikkon. "Uh no, that won't be necessary Pikkon. You can fight me instead." Goku said, trying to get Pikkon to change his mind.

"No that's okay, I think I'll just fight her." Pikkon said again as he grabbed Segira's wrist and pulled her over to a clearing in the garden a few hundred feet away from Goku and the others. Segira was startled by that for a moment as Pikkon dragged her to the clearing, but she eventually shook it off and tried to stop Pikkon by digging her heels into the ground, but it had no effect.

"Pikkon wait!" Goku said as he ran after them.

Pikkon looked back at him. "Don't worry Goku, I won't go that hard on her." Pikkon said, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"But she's not very experienced, that's why we came here." Gohan said.

Pikkon sighed heavily. "Fine, I'll go easy on her." Goku stopped following them and sighed slowly, there was no stopping Pikkon when he got like this. Hopefully he wouldn't kill, or seriously wound Segira before they could train her.

"Can't you stop him dad?" Gohan asked Goku as he ran up to Goku.

Goku sighed heavily and shook his head. "I don't think so, it's hard to change Pikkon's mind when he gets like this." Goku told Gohan as they watched Pikkon and Segira get ready to fight, but it looked like Segira was ready to bolt, not fight. "Let's just hope Segira can hold her own against Pikkon."
