I had been training for four months, i had checked the scouter and my power level had reached 120. I had thought with how fast the power levels increase in the show it would be easy getting stronger but it was much harder than it looked. Not too mention it seemed despite even with an infinite ki generator Tuffles were not suitable for marital arts at all. It seemed no matter how hard i tried i couldn't get stronger. Despite that though i powered through, and with the ability to use the compass again i located the nearest ideal planet. The ship had loomed over a blue red marble, using some of the scanning technology the ship had i had discovered a pretty big ki source on the planet. No vital signs were found though, there was nothing living on the planet. It was disturbing to find that this mars like world covered in oceans had no living creatures, but had such a large amount of ki. I landed the ship and used the compass once more to find the mysterious source.
I had followed the compass to a cave that sunk into the ground. I turned on a flashlight attached to my scouter and begun traveling down. The cave was eerie, the compass had led me here but i had felt disturbed. I did not like this place and the deeper i went the more wrong everything felt. The bracelet on my arm had notified me that it had disconnected from the ship. The cave had interfered with the connection to the bracelet, i had back tracked to the point before the disconnection. Looking at the bracelet again the material of the cave seemed to interfere with the technology. The cave walls seemed to be loaded with ki, it wasn't the source but the walls acted as if it was inside of living creature. It reminded me of the box that could hide the dragon balls made by emperor pilaf. I would sample some rocks later and try to make a similar box. I didn't really know if i ever had to hide the dragon balls but if the walls could be used it would be helpful. I had turned back to the darkness of the cave and the spiral down. I had shivered, it felt like hands were touching all of my skin as i descended further. The scouter had begun to read the ambient ki and the numbers begun to go off the charts. I was scared my scouter would break so i turned it off and put it away. The further i went the more i had felt the gripping feeling. I had wanted to puke, i had begun to feeling tired and sickly. I dragged my way out of the cave and went back to the ship. i wasn't able to get down the cave due to the awful feeling, but i would let myself recover and head back down later.
I had terrible nightmare of past me, the 60 year old version stood over the current me. My own hands gripped my new throat and i was being strangled by myself. For some reason i had no control over my body, and my mouth was mumbling something i couldn't understand. I had summoned the compass and stared at it. It seemed related but not connected. The golden dragon that summoned me was not the divine dragon from the super dragon balls. The dragon itself had confirmed that for me, but it also could've been a prepared tactic. Not to mention someone had to use the super dragon balls. It had also irked me that i was given the compass, a powerful tool but perhaps it wasn't what it seemed. The nightmare seemed to be brought on by the cave but it was more like it was always there, but just buried somewhere below my subconscious. It seemed that my trip into Dragon ball wouldn't be so simple.
