The Forgotten Saiyan 761/761 Grier began recounting his life's journey to Tarble, starting from his days on Earth to his ventures on a distant planet called Damaskia. Tarble, unfamiliar with this place, received a cautionary note from Grier, advising against visiting Damaskia without a specific purpose. With Tarble's packed schedule of visiting numerous other planets, there seemed no compelling reason to venture into an unknown world. “I wonder what had happened with Damaskia. Grier talks as if something strange came from this place. I wonder if there are strong warriors that reside on this planet. Hmm… planet Avalon as well, never heard of this planet. It seems as if there are more planets outside of the ones that I have been taught as a kid. Maybe these are some of the places that Grier said he heard of these strong warriors are at. Maybe I might have to take a chance and go to some of them and test their powers”
Grier shifted the conversation to the mysterious planet Namek. Tarble, having encountered just one Namekian warrior while attempting to invade the fortress on planet Valhalla, recalled the formidable opponent's strength, although Tarble managed to overcome him effortlessly. During this encounter, Tarble discovered intriguing abilities possessed by the Namekians, such as the remarkable skill to regenerate lost limbs. Apart from this encounter, Tarble's knowledge of Namekians was limited to his mentor, Master Kami, who occasionally delved into their history. However, Tarble's departure from Master Kami's teachings during his youth left him with scant information about Namekian affairs. Grier continued, sharing insights about a revered figure residing on Namek, known as Master Guru, described as a venerable and imposing Namekian who played a pivotal role in Grier's quest for inner peace. “I wonder if this Master Guru can set me to peace. For the last couple of months this whole situation pertaining to my father has been lingering on me. I have an older brother that I have never met. I was sent to live with a foster family for me to leave to a planet I had been to. I lived by myself for six years to now start meeting all these warriors. I think it is about that time that I find peace with myself and just let all these issues go. I never met King Vegeta face to face. I would only see him walking towards the castle during a parade. I heard he had a son but had never come across him before. I do not know why I have let this bother me about individuals I have never met before”
Finally, Grier disclosed his current whereabouts, residing on a planet known as Kelioux. He mentioned a revered martial arts master named Puar, whose rigorous training sessions had honed Grier's skills significantly. Puar extended an invitation to Tarble for a live sparring session, a departure from their usual gem-based spars. This proposition intrigued Tarble, as his recent sparring sessions had taken place in an alternate dimension. The prospect of an in-person encounter, with the raw intensity and genuine risk of physical combat, excited Tarble in a way that recent experiences hadn't. "Your offer is intriguing, and I'm inclined to accept it. My time on planet Toffit is drawing to a close; I've tackled everything I intended to here and feel the pull to move forward. As for Kelioux, are there notable activities or places to explore? Toffit's meditation room has been instrumental in my personal growth, shaping me in profound ways. There's also mention of the iron forge, a legendary place I've yet to witness firsthand—rumored to meld two rings or amulets into one. It's on my list, but other priorities took precedence for now," Tarble explained, pausing briefly to refine his question. “This Puar sounds interesting and someone that I might want to cross paths with. She might be that one that could push me towards my next transformation. I need to remember how did I become a super Saiyan and what could make me push towards super Saiyan two” "I've made considerable strides in strength over the past few months, seeking warriors who can truly test my limits. You've managed to push me to my boundaries, so I wonder if Puar possesses that same capability," Tarble inquired, seeking Grier's insight. Actions1. 2.

Tarble inquired more information on Kelioux and what the planet's main attraction would be for warriors such as themselves. Gier grew thoughtful for a moment, cupping his chin as he took a moment to think. Then he suddenly recalled the Grand Keliouxian Library, as well as the esteemed Master Adel who had been heralded as a master of Ki for decades, maybe even centuries.
"There's the Grand Library that has thousands of books and scrolls that can teach you many different things. I even read one on the concept of Ki and how to better manage it. It's pretty trippy and deep stuff, almost philosophical, but it's also very practical. But if you're not a book type like me then I'd suggest paying a Keliouxian by the name of Adel a visit. He's known throughout the planet as the pinnacle of Ki Mastery and he teaches all kinds of students. Once my training with Puar was done I had planned on seeking him out to learn as much as I can before leaving to return home," Gier explained.
The blonde could tell that Tarble was eager to test himself. He couldn't blame him, Gier was also cut from the same cloth as well. To be able to test one's self against another strong and powerful foe was as much as an honor as it was a privilege since it allowed one the chance to grow immensely. Gier was also intrigued by the meditation chamber that he spoke of on planet Toffit, but exploring that avenue would have to wait until he finished up his own personal matters on Planet Damaskia.
Just the thought of what laid ahead of him made him quite anxious to say the least, but he had to shake it that feeling in order to not only trust in himself but trust in his training and the hard work that he had put in for several years, as well as the experiences that he had gone through that allowed him to grow and be far more balanced than when he had initially left the Zane Clan. Back then he was barely a man, just a wide-eyed naive explorer. Now he was far more humble, and he had a better sense of who he was and what he had to do.
"Oh, she will more than push you. Believe me, she's strong, stronger than anyone I've ever known. She could easily take the two of us on at once as I mentioned before. Her training methods are a little eccentric, but they definitely work. She possesses a bottomless well of knowledge and is willing to share it. I've learned a lot of techniques thanks to her," Gier said, smiling softly as he reminisced over the woman's teachings. Harsh yet fair, strong but gentle, those were the best ways to describe the way in which she taught.
"Once I'm finished with my business there I will head back home and confront my clan. But I have to be ready for anything. I don't know what will happen, but what I do know is that things will change for better or for worse," Gier's eyes scanned the horizon and met with the sun that began to set in the distance, far and away from the recreation of the Zane Clan training grounds on which he stood.
"Don't be surprised if the next time you see me I've turned into a typical Damaskian," Gier joked.

The Forgotten Saiyan 499/1,210 “A grand library that taught him how to control his ki. I might have to make my way to Kelioux to check out this library and read this book. I know I have struggled for years controlling my ki so I am wondering if this book could correct this problem. If there are other books and scrolls that can enhance my fighting ability, then I might have to make my way to this planet. All the scrolls Master Roshi shared with me has helped out tremendously so I can only image a library full of items to read… Now it makes me wonder if Master Roshi has been to Kelioux or his scrolls have come from said library. I know he told me that he had never left the planet, but there have been many travelers that have crossed his path. I might have to ask him about these when I return to planet Earth”
As Grier expounded on Puar's remarkable power and expressed his desire to train under the tutelage of the renowned Master Adel, Tarble's interest was piqued. His previous mentors had significantly contributed to his strength, leading him to an undeniable curiosity about these new prospects. Kelioux hadn't initially been on his itinerary, but the prospect of meeting these individuals and exploring the fabled library hinted at an unexpected detour that now seemed increasingly tempting and worthwhile. "I see you hold Puar and Master Adel in high regard. I, too, have crossed paths with mentors who've cultivated my physical and spiritual strength. On Earth, there are two individuals worth your visit. One of them is a human known as Master Roshi. He may come off as a bit eccentric, with a peculiar fondness for risqué literature, yet beyond that facade, the old man possesses an abundance of invaluable training methods and techniques, capable of enhancing any wanderer's abilities," Tarble paused, gathering his thoughts before continuing. “Last time we had a spar, I could tell that Grier had a lot of skills. I think with Master Roshi and Master Kami training him that he will grow to even more heights”
Lost in reminiscence, Tarble's thoughts drifted towards the profound impact of Masters Roshi and Kami on his journey's early stages. Their guidance had been pivotal in his growth. Reflecting briefly to articulate his thoughts clearly, Tarble continued, "The other master you ought to seek on Earth is known as Master Kami. A Namekian who arrived on Earth in his youth, he's been its guardian for eons. His teachings unveiled much about my inherent power, though he remained reticent about his own origins. Among his chambers, the Pendulum Room stands as a place to augment strength while testing one's psyche. Then, there's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber—a place where a year's worth of training elapses within a single day. I've undergone its rigors once, feeling the toll it exacts on the body. I strongly advise your pilgrimage to Earth and entrance into that chamber. You'll emerge a transformed individual." Actions1. N/A 2. N/A

Tarble spoke highly of his mentors on Earth much how Gier did with his experience with Master Guru and Master Puar. When Gier was on Earth for a brief amount of time he didn't encounter Master Roshi yet he believed that he may have, quite possibly, heard tales of him in passing. It was hard to say for sure as his time on the planet was spent mainly in isolation on a farm, cultivating experiences and memories with Esmerelda. Regardless the thought of actually returning there made him a tad bit anxious - to feel the crisp Earth air and to feel the wind sweep against his skin, singing his ear - it was delightful yet the memories there were painful for him. It wasn't easy for one to lose someone that was so close to them, for anyone rather, and although Gier had done his best to move on from the experience by traveling to Namek and clearing his head, it was still a process. It was a process that he would have to allow time to mend his wounds for, and seedtimes he wished that there was a way for him to accelerate it just enough to stop the pain from hurting.
But perhaps one day when it was all said and done, he would be able to venture there and learn from such wise masters that Tarble spoke of, or perhaps it would be best for him to make the journey as soon as he could? They could offer invaluable insight and experience for him in ways that many could not. It wasn't a hard sell for him but the timing of it all was what made him hesitant.
He just needed more time to think on it.
The training methods that Tarble mentioned sounded very exotic, especially with the Pendulum Room and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A place where someone could get a year's worth of training in one day? How was that possible? How did that work? Gier couldn't begin to comprehend the complexities of a time chamber that essentially controlled the flow of time itself, harnessing it for the advantage and the privilege of the one who sought to use it. As unbelievable as such a device sounded to him, he could not question what Tarble said, for he believed it to be true. The Universe was a very large place and there existed within it many oddities. When Tarble advised for him to make the trek to Earth, Gier could not help but nod his head in agreement.
"Okay, you've convinced me," He said to Tarble with a soft smile. "I don't know when I would be able to deliver on my promise, but I do promise that I will take you up on your word. Plus a year in a place like that would give me some time to clear my head, maybe even learn a thing or two. I have to find some way to go through life and not become a dumb jock forever," Gier chuckled. He certainly did need to train his mind as well as his body, as his intellect certainly lagged behind by comparison. The martial artist didn't think much beyond combat, and although he was the kind of person to enjoy experiences and people, he certainly could do himself a solid by hitting the books more.
"Tell me more about the kind of training that you went through with Master Roshi was it? And Master Kami. I want every detail, don't leave anything out. And in return I'll tell you what I've learned from mine in depth and help each other out," Gier spoke earnestly.

The Forgotten Saiyan 562/1,822 Greir was enthusiastic about the prospect of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber but voiced his concern about not wanting to become a "dumb joke." Tarble furrowed his brow in confusion, unfamiliar with the term "jock." It was a phrase entirely foreign to him, one he had never encountered before. “A jock must be from his planet. I am now curious what this jock is and if it is very powerful. I might want to become a dumb jock then if it would help me grow in power”
Grier inquired about Tarble's experiences training with Master Roshi and Master Kami. Tarble's face lit up each time their names were mentioned. He understood that the training methods of Master Roshi vastly differed from those of Master Kami. “What can I say about Master Roshi that will make him sound better than just doing chores and running to get him a girlfriend or magazines of nude woman to stare at” "Master Roshi is quite a character. He's a powerful human who once emerged victorious in the world tournament years ago. His teachings cover a wide spectrum, from various physical techniques to harnessing ki for attacks. Living on a secluded island away from the hustle and bustle of human interference allows for undisturbed training. However, there's a catch; he tasks you with finding him a girlfriend and handling household chores. The most peculiar one is fetching the latest magazine with nude women every Monday from Satan City. But fulfilling these tasks results in remarkable strength gains. Despite his age, he's a seasoned fighter," Tarble explained before pausing. "He always stressed that age doesn't dictate wisdom or intelligence, especially in battle."
“I think that was a great description of Master Roshi, now I need to do the same thing about Master Kami” "Master Kami, in contrast to Master Roshi, resides on a celestial floating island high above. He stands vigilantly at the edge, keeping watch over the planet, ever ready to intervene in case of impending threats. His demeanor is more solemn, focusing on techniques that conceal the true nature of an attack, like the scatter shot. Additionally, he's aided by an assistant named Mr. Popo, who is always there to lend a hand. Training under both mentors offers a diverse perspective on warriorship, fostering a deep respect for both Masters," Tarble elucidated. “Do I miss Mr. Popo’s cooking. He always knew how to make rice the best. I will never forget the time I came out of the Hyperbolic Time chamber and Mr. Popo had a nice meal prepared for me. He was always kind to me” "Could you share the various training methods imparted by your Masters? Are there specific locations on these planets that push your limits?" Tarble inquired, his curiosity piqued. "I've also been under the guidance of another mentor, Master Foxx, an esteemed Saiyan within our army. We've been journeying together across planets recently. There have been times that he has left me to do my own thing, while other times he pops up to give me some tutelage" he added. Actions1. N/A 2. N/A

Tarble elaborated on his training with Master Roshi and what it would entail. The old and wise venerable master seemed to have been as eccentric as he was powerful. Perhaps his methods were often questioned or scrutinized by his students, yet the results could not be argued. If his training methods bore results and was seen as fruitful for those who studied underneath him, then Gier would be glad to undergo such unorthodox training methods when the time called for it. His goal was to hone his body as well his mind and to broaden his horizons as well as his perspective when it came to training. He couldn't be rigid in the ways of the Shigen-Ryu like his father and grandfather taught him to be. He had to be better than that, beyond what they thought possible for the sake of not only himself but the future of the Zane Clan.
"This Master Roshi definitely sounds like quite the character. I look forward to meeting him someday. Hopefully soon," Gier said with a smile. His mind floated off to how he would fare performing such menial tasks. He didn't see anything wrong with a secluded old man seeking the company of pretty women. What man wouldn't want that? Nor did he see anything wrong with him searching for explicit magazines - everyone had their vices. Gier's often times was drinking when he wasn't training. It was a habit that he picked up while traversing through the galaxy. It's funny, there were so many different cultures, languages, and species abroard yet every planet that he been to had a tavern, a place for people to come together and drink.
Next the young Prince went on to describe another master, Master Kami. He spoke that in contrast to his previous master, Master Roshi, Master Kami was far more subdued and solemn. He lived in a floating island above the clouds, and Gier could scarcely remember some stories during his time on Earth of a being who kept watch over the Earthlings that inhabited the planet. It sounded more like a legend than the actual truth, but the blonde martial artist was glad to hear that it wasn't merely a myth, the one known as Kami actually existed and he was a great wise master with an attendant named Master Popo. They seemed like a swell team together and Gier couldn't help but get excited at the prospect of training under them both.
Tarble went on to ask Gier about his training methods and his masters, specifically what he had learned with them.
"Well, first there was my father, Kaism, the current head of the Zane Clan. Then there's my grandfather, Gorju, the former head of my Clan. I've told you this before but, they were both very harsh with me. No one has ever beaten me like my father has," Gier said. His voice wasn't solemn nor was it spiteful. He simply spoke the truth of the matter and he didn't feel any particular way about it.
"He taught me the ways of the Shingen-Ryu, and that started my journey to martial arts. On Planet Namek Master Guru taught me how to control my energy as well as my mind. There was peace there on that planet, and it's a great place to go to center yourself when your thoughts are all over the place, I know that mine were," He reflected upon the time that he arrived there. He had been a mess, and it was only by the grace of a higher power that he crash landed on Namek and stumbled upon the village where Guru resided.
"He also has the ability to unlock your latent potential. It's weird but, it works. He places his hand on your head and you can feel the power course through you. It's allowed me to reach greater heights and it was almost as if I reached enlightenment in a sense. I can't stress enough how much peace Guru has helped me bring into my life." Gier spoke with the utmost gratitude when he reflected on Master Guru.
"And now I have my master Puar. She's really strong and she stresses technique and form. It's kind of like learning how to walk all over again. Stances and movements that you have to repeat over and over again, learning about balance and leverage, how to properly move your feet, how to engage your muscles to maximize each and every strike, it's a lot to learn but I like it," Gier said. "Right now she took off from Kelioux and left to do something. What it was I don't know."
Tarble spoke on being under the tutelage of another Saiyan, and that made Gier think.
"Perhaps I can seek a tutor when I return home to Damaskia. Someone that I can trust, I think I'd like that," Gier mused aloud. "And of course if you're ever in the mood to train together then I'm all for it," The blonde offered to Tarble with a smile.
