#VEGITO POV#
"How did you get your tail back?" I ask Goku curious since I don't remember him having it in Otherworld
"When we arrive at Otherworld we are given the option to get our missing limbs back if we lost them during our lives. Most warriors choose to keep scars and the like but others want their fingers, or even arms or legs back," He explains and I nod at that
"Anyway, I didn't want to talk about that. I wanted to ask what form you use. The one that makes you look like a monkey?" He asks me which makes me blink
"This form," I say while transforming into my Ape Form
I decided to just take the name Great from Great Ape. No reason to overcomplicate it
"How did you obtain it?" He asks me seriously
"Why do you want to know?" I ask him causing him to let out a sigh
"I...wasn't strong enough," He answers and I take a deep breath as I immediately understand what is happening
He feels like a failure
I know Goku
Hell, it could even be argued that I am part of him
Fuck, I am part of him
I have his memories, and although some of them are not prevalent anymore, his most important ones are still there
I 'remember' what it was like to lose Grandpa Gohan and then later found out that 'I' killed him by accident
Being on Namek, where Frieza seemingly killed Piccolo and then made Krillin blow up
I may be my own being, but I still experienced those emotions firsthand
I know better than anyone what he is feeling
"Alright," I tell him knowing why he wants to know
"You obviously remember our Great Ape form," I say trying to confirm that he is following me
"Yes," He says with determination
"Ok, I got this form by using the artificial moon that Vegeta made when he first came to Earth in order to transform, it takes a few tries to get down but the process itself is simple enough," I start explaining before powering down back to my base
"Ok..." He says waiting for me to continue
"I transformed a lot. The moment I woke up got some food in me, I instantly used the Artificial Moon..."
"How much did it hurt?" He cuts me off making frown
"A lot, even after taking a 2-day break, my body felt like lead and I was unable to move which is why I took the 2-day break,"
"How many times did you transform?" He asks with some sweat forming
Yeah...transforming into a Great Ape is painful...at least I got past the point of feeling pain
"How did you get into the humanoid form?" He asks me
"I am getting to that. I transformed repeatably for around 4 months, 2 months to learn to keep my mind and rationality. Then 2 months to train using my Great Ape form. Then...I went to sleep with it, and I woke up able to use the Ape form," I explain to him
"You just slept and you got that form?" He asks me in disbelief
"Yeah, I am not really sure what happened either, I just woke up transformed feeling better than ever, and I was in a whole new form," I tell him while shrugging
"That..." He stops himself before shaking his head
"How powerful is it?" he asks which makes me frown
"That is...a bit of an issue," I start with a sigh
"This form isn't like Super Saiyan. It increases our speed, strength, and endurance, yet the drawback is that, while our Ki grows, it becomes much thinner,"
"But...in this form, I can push the Kaio-Ken even further than my base form, but it doesn't exactly increase my Ki by much. Say I use Kaio-ken timesx10, my strength and speed increase according to the multiplier while my Ki only becomes 3 to 4 times denser as a result," I explain much to Goku's confusion
"That doesn't make sense, the Kaio-Ken doesn't work that way..."
"I know, and quite frankly, I have given up trying what is happening to it," I tell him as the Kaio-ken is not reacting the way that it does normally
The form itself helps me control the thinner Ki much easier
But...fortunately, there is a distinct correlation between the 2
My increased Ki control doesn't actually have anything to do with my KI becoming even thinner
I tested it out multiple times by creating a Ki ball while transforming it and then going back to base while controlling the Ki ball
It was a struggle but it did help improve my Ki control
"Can you combine it with Super Saiyan?" Goku asks me and I frown
"I believe it is possible but...I am not exactly sure how to mix the 2," I tell him honestly
Heck, trying to go Ape form while in Super Saiyan makes me go Super Saiyan only
The only thing I can think of to obtain Super Saiyan 4 is to try and control Golden Great Ape and regain my consciousness while in that form but...I don't know who would be willing to help me...
An idea goes through my mind
Maybe Goku and the others can help me
I won't transform on Earth and to be honest, I am not sure I am going to try going Golden Great Ape for a while at least
I want to work on Super Saiyan 2 in the meantime
Once I get a good hang of it, I am going to try going Super Saiyan 4
Skipping right past Super Saiyan 3
"You have some ideas?" Goku asks to which I nod
"Some, but they are too dangerous to test out right now. In the meantime, I am going to get my potential unlocked. Old Kai has agreed to perform the ritual on 5 of us," I tell him and I know exactly who
Me, Gohan, Trunks, Goku, and Piccolo
Sorry Krillin next time
"By the way, Goku, have you improved using Spirit Control?" I ask him to which he nods
"Yeah, there are some people from Yardrat in Otherworld that were helping complete my training with it. But I only managed to improve a small amount using it," He answers to which I pause at a sudden realization
With the Kai-Kai, I can literally travel to Otherworld and learn from the freaking dead
Holy shit...
"Do you happen to know how to use the Spirit Healing by any chance?" I ask him
"No, I am not that advanced, but I do know how to do the Gigantification. I never really used it as I am still working on improving my Spirit Control," He answers me
"Ok, I wanted to ask if you could teach it to me along with whatever exercises you have managed to learn," I tell him only to see a Ki blast go into the sky
"It shouldn't be a problem, but I guess we have to go back and see whatever that was," He says as we go back to the others
Flying down, I see Piccolo flying up to meet us
"The old man is getting impatient," He tells me and I nod at him
Time to get my potential unlocked...
