Dragon Ball:The Heartless Fighter(Book 1)(ON HOLD)

Chapter 11

Flashes of anger and respect were pulsing through Yamcha's mind.Every time the bandit looked down the rock face.Every time,without fail,he was,which pushed Yamcha to pick up the pace as the rocks shook.Bits of rock and ice sprang off from the rock face,yet Yamcha would rather die than give up and lose to that midget.This was a perfect chance to express his anger to Krillin after that fight.

His right  hand reached for a breaking rock and his right leg followed suit.

Meanwhile,Krillin mind was a mess.He didn't follow the path Yamcha had left for him,because he had no confidence that he could follow that Yamcha followed up.To be honest,he was terrified and cold.He truly and really wanted to stop,but every time Yamcha looked down,it filled him with competition.

Now the two were quickly chasing each other up the colossal cliff.By this point the competiton had burned down,leaving the two with little energy.Near the top,the rocks became more sharp and treacherous,ice now forming whole parts of the wall and making a single mistake would be costly.By death.

Now Yamcha was closer to a sledge that he could sit on.

Even if the Dragon Ball isn't there,I can rest and get some more climbing energy to look for it.

When the ledge shuttered as the rocks began to crumble slightly.Now Yamcha reached his hand for a branch and to climb off a sharp rock to sit on the sledge.Now the rocks completely crumbled in his sight and ripped off the wall.He instantly clenched his right hand onto the cracking branch as it was about to crack,snapping and about to kill Yamcha by crushing intoo the ground.

His left hand now clenched onto the rock as they slipped down onto the road.Yamcha was now was about to fall,and now fell back,and all his eyes could see was a cold and grey mist floating in the air.

Now he was slipping down,tumbling down until a violent tug was felt on his arm,almost as if he was a puppet and his strings were pulled.He opened his eyes and stared upwards.What he saw was a monk with a shaved bald head,looking at Yamcha with a stern face as it turned to a smile.

Yamcha thought to say anything,anything to the person who had just saved his life by grabbing him.Yamcha grasped onto a sharp edge as ht let go of Yamcha's hand.

Yamcha was about to squeak something out,but Krillin had resumed climbing.It was then that Yamcha had got the message,and resumed climbing,now behind Krillin.

He noticed a cave dug into the cliff face,as he reached out towards the branch that had caused him to fall.He yanked his hand back,knowing that the rocks were loose.He slowly moved across,ducking under the branch as Krillin moved to the side,crawling along the side and following Yamcha.

Krillin narrowly dodged a bird's egg that crashed down from above.Now they stepped inside,noticing a bird nest,empty.Except from a warm egg and a dragon ball sheltering underneath the white bright eggs.

Krillin bent down,and reached his hand out for it,staring back at Yamcha,who opened his mouth

''Krillin-I..''

''No need.''

''But I-''

''Like I said,no need.''Krillin had stepped up,clenching the ball in his hand.His stare turned to a smile,as he continued.''I would've told you about that ledge.But your struggle back there made me feel happy.Knowing that I could beat you.This rivalry is endangering us.I want to restart.So,''

Krillin reached his hand out to the former bandit.

''What do you think?''

There was silence in the cave for a few seconds.Krillin held out the Dragon Ball to Yamcha,who's eyes glinted and he smiled.Yamcha shook his hand,and Krillin put his hand down.

''For the team.Imagine what we could do with stuff like this.''

Yamcha grabbed the Dragon Ball,and now smiled at Krillin again.

''Krillin,''

''What?''

''I have a question.How are we going to get out of here?''

Yamcha's question had first brought laughter to the two,and then terror.Luckily,they saw that there was some ropes and some stakes in the far corner of the cave.A frozen figure of a body was next to them.

Krillin sliently picked them up,curious to see what happened.

It seems this climber got stuck here and died.Wow.

Old and discoloured,but useful and still able to use,the rope was able to take the two down to where Bulma and Puar were located.

''Now I have a question,Yamcha.When you fought me and used those punches so fast..your eyes were glowing blue and a aura surrounded you.How did you use ki?How did you learn?''

''What do you mean?I don't have a name for that when my eyes glow blue and my aura..I never knew that happened.The Wolf Fang Fist.People in my village talked about it and one day I got really angry about something and I used that ki. I remember that moment and just learned the Wolf Fang Fist.What exactly is ki?''

''Well..it's kinda hard to explain.Ki is made up of two things.Life force-your energy inside that keeps you living and breathing.If you lack it,you die.But you also need will and the power to use it.It's like a fusion of two things.''

''Uh...I'm really lost,since I'm not a fighter.''Puar mentioned,talking to Krillin.

Yamcha scratched his head,smiling.''I'm just as lost as you,Puar!Is there any way to explain it better?''

Krillin now scratched his bald,shaved head and hung his head down.

''That's the only way to explain it.Well that's how my masters in the temple did it.They said it was really hard to master it.''

He hung his head down,now knowing that his information was quite useless to Yamchas and Puar's confusion.

Yamcha patted his friend's shoulder.''Hey,cheer up.All we need to do is study the Wolf Fang Fist and learn how to use it!''

Bulma walked over from leaning on the car.

''Yeah,maybe if you two train together,you could actually be strong fighters.''

The rest of them sat around the fire on the stone road as they drank tea.
