Dashing along the road, Krillin and Goku were racing neck and neck with Piccolo Jr just behind them.
Krillin was wearing all weighted clothing, Goku was now wearing weighted bracelets and shoe while Piccolo Jr wore regular non-weighted clothing. Thanks to the different weights all three ran at similar speed to one another, making their little race much more exciting and forcing the other to keep pushing themselves.
Krillin's legs felt like iron, his lungs burned like fire, and his arms desperately pushed through the air and broke the sound barrier with ease. Krillin slowed down slightly, he desperately wanted to stop and take a break, only to look over at Goku with clenched teeth desperately trying get ahead of Krillin!
Seeing Goku slightly get ahead of himself, a fire awoke inside Krillin as he immediately picked up his speed and surpassed him! The pain he felt was excruciating, but the idea of Goku eventually surpassing him was unbearable!
Seeing Krillin surpass him, Goku pushed him self even further and managed to catch up to him. It seemed like these two would go at it forever, constantly growing and one upping each other when suddenly they heard a loud thunk behind them.
Slowing down to a halt, both Krillin turned around to see Piccolo having tripped face first into the floor.
"Perhaps.....we can...take a break..." Goku said between gasps of air, and Krillin nodded.
Walking over to the downed Namekian, Krillin picked him up and dusted him off. He nose was broken and faints tears began walking up in his eyes completely catching Krillin off guard.
'The Piccolo I know is completely stoic and would never cry, then again that Piccolo spent his first three years killing and surviving all by himself.'
"Never cry for a physical injury, its a sign of weakness." Krillin said as his healing magic began to mend his broken nose.
"Oh c'mon Krillin he's just a kid, I also cried when I got hurt when I was his age. Like that time an alligator bit my tail, I cried for hours as grampa Gohan patched it up!" Goku said patting Piccolos back.
"You can't baby him Goku, he needs to grow up to be a warrior and warriors don't cry because they broke their nose!" Despite sounding harsh, Krillins words resignated with Piccolo and he soon wiped his tears and refusedbto cry.
"Good! Here you can have these as a reward." Waving his hand, a large bucket filled with hard unwrapped butterscotch candies appeared.
Piccolos eyes widen and immediately dug in, crunching away on the candies as Goku drooled. Krillin had to remind Goku that the candies were illusions and had no calories to them.
Seeing Goku's hunger, Krillin pulled out half of a dinosaur body from his storage and began cooking it with his Ki, the control needed for this simple task would've been hard for Goku but was a breeze for Krillin.
After all three of them ate their full of dino meat and dranks some water, they continued on. Krillin needed very little sleep after being purified, it turns out Namekian don't sleep, and Goku was dead so he also didn't need sleep, it was thanks to this that they were making incredible time running snake way despite wearing weighted cloths.
***
Fourteen days have passed since Goku had met up with Krillin and Piccolo Jr, they continued on their journey and continuesly grew faster racing against each other.
Krillin was most surprised by Piccolo Jr growth as Krillin had to put small weight on the namekians feet or else he'd constantly be ahead.
Krilins knew Goku's Saiyan biology would continue to grow under hardship, and that Krillins healing factor would give him nearly endless stamina but the little Namekian showed that then both up. Of course both Krillin and Goku were wearing much heavier weights but that didn't take away from Piccolos achievements.
"Woah! Krillin, Piccolo! It's the end of snake way!" Goku shouted out as he raced ahead, Krillin hot on his tail.
Arriving at the very edge of snake way, all three looked around at the yellow cloud beneath them and the planets around them.
"That must be it." Krillin said pointing upwards, a tiny planet just a few hundred feet above them.
"That must be, I can't wait to meet this King Kai fellow. Let's go!" Goku said flying ahead.
Krillin remained in the floor and watched as Goku gently floated up to the planet, only to get sucked in by it's gravity and land face first into it!
With a smile on his face, Krillin grabbed Piccolos clothes and flew upwards.
"Be careful on this planet, the gravity is ten times that of earth" As Krillin finished saying this, he immediately felt the suctioning force weigh down on him and immediately adjusted himself mid air.
Landing on the floor, Krillin felt himself bucking and falling to one knee as Piccolo was in a similar position as Goku, collapsed onto the floor.
Krillin could handle the pressure of the ocean that was akin to 25x gravity, but that was with just his normal clothing. The weighted clothing he wore was above 5 000lb in total, now it was 50,000lb plus the extra gravity on his body itself!
Goku wore 2 750lb bracelet and 2 750lb shoes, he had an extra 30,000lb weighted down on him! Piccolo only wore 2 250lb shoes but that was still an extra 5,000lb!
Krillin and Goku stood up with difficulty, the gravity and weights made it harder but still manageable to walk around. Krillin had to remove Piccolos shoes but even then he could only shakily stand up.
As the trio slowly acclimated to this new gravity, they looked up and saw a monkey dancing around them looking at them in wonder.
"This must be King Kai! Hello King Kai, I'm Goku! These are my friends Krillin and Piccolo Jr, we've come to learn from you!" Goku stepped forward and introduced the trio to Bubbles the monkey.
Krillin had to stop himself from laughing at this scene playing out.
Instead of replying to Goku, Bubbles just walked around in a weird stance which Goku immediately thought was some powerful technique that he was trying to teach them.
"C'mon guys, King Kai is trying to teach us ho-" "What the heck are you doing?" Suddenly a voice cut Goku off.
Looking over at the small house that has a cherry red car next to it, Krillin saw a weird looking purple humanoid with antenna and sun glasses.
"Who are you?" Goku replied.
"I am king Kai, owner of this planet!"
