Dragon Ball Multiverse: The Student

Chapter Twelve

Piccolo grabbed Niko and took him to Mae's house. When they landed they saw Mae training with Chi and Gicchin. They were sparring against her. "Woah what happened to you?" Chi asked Niko.

Niko gave a weary smile. "Haha, hi. I ran a lot, a lot."

"You look like you are gonna die," Chi said.

"Aw but I thought we were gonna spar!" Gicchin complained.

"Sorry, guys," Niko sighed. "I just need to rest for a little bit, then we can spar."

"Mommy can I go train with Uncle Dyspo?" Chi jumped up and down.

"Sure," Mae nodded. " thanks Piccolo."

"No problem, take care Niko," Piccolo waved.

Niko waved Piccolo off and turned to Mae. "I can see why he's a good teacher," he laughed wearily.

"He trained Gohan," Mae laughed as Chi vanished. "I suppose until you regain your stamina you can watch Gicchin and I."

Niko sat in the grass and watched them. "Okay, sure."

"Hey Niko watch this!" Gicchin grinned and powered up to super saiyan three. He was already used to the form. He was just trying to maximize its power. "Uncle Vegeta and Grandpa Goku helped me a lot."

Niko smiled at the enthusiasm. "Hey, that's really cool."

"Mommy says you and I can become super saiyan gods together!" Gicchin jumped up, his long hair nearly brushing the ground.

Niko was taken aback. "O-Oh, really? Um, wow, that'd be really cool!"

"You do wanna be a super saiyan god right?" Gicchin asked with wide eyes.

Niko nodded. "Yeah! I wanna be stronger than mom and Trunks!" he smirked.

"Yay!" Gicchin exclaimed.

"Okay Niko pay close attention. Gicchin lets go," Mae powered up to super saiyan.

Gicchin brought his hands up in the same fashion as Goku. His eyes narrowed and focused as he sprung forward to attack. Mae blocked all of his attacks. But Niko watched and noticed how each of his attacks were well placed.

Niko was jealous at how Gicchin's fighting style was better than his, considering he was so young. He tried to push the thoughts away and kept watching.

"Big bang attack!" Gicchin yelled but Mae deflected it and kicked him to the ground. Gicchin was back up in an instant and continued attacking.

Niko watched with narrow eyes.

As soon as Mae found an opening she took the offensive. Niko watched carefully as Gicchin blocked. He was using the same methods Goku had shown Niko. Gicchin and Mae met fist to fist sending a shock wave through the air. Gicchin took that moment to grab Mae and kick her in the stomach sending her crashing to the ground. Mae got up and phased in and out, attacking her son from behind.

Niko was astounded at the four year old's capabilities. Why had his mother been holding so much back from him? He began to feel angry at the thought of Niya. He shook the thoughts away and waited to see how Gicchin would react.

Gicchin cried out but quickly recovered and formed a ki blade to slice at Mae. The whole time they fought he kept his composure. He didn't panic in the moments where Mae got the upper hand. It occurred to Niko that that's what Piccolo was talking about.

As Niko watched, he made critiques of himself: his form, his dodging, his emotions -- everything everyone was telling him about.

Mae began attacking faster, making Gicchin have to work harder in order to dodge. Sparks shot off him as he powered up more. They both jumped back and brought their hands up. "Final Flash!" They both yelled. The beams met head on and Mae powered up, trying to get Gicchin to follow. He yelled as he tried to push back. In the end Mae won, the blast hit him and he lost his form, falling to the ground.
