Edited and Fixed hopefully, didnt realize we were waiting for me to edit that.

@BladeSS4

You're fine, we weren't waiting on you exactly, but it is nice that you fixed it.

I miss anything major?

@Darkmoon Angel

A test of endurance in the form of a 100 mile swim is now underway. So angela needs to get in the ocean. That's about all you've missed so far.

@BladeSS4 Did you see my last message where I pointed out a mistake in your last post? This is specifically what I was talking about:

Krillin said it would take an Olympic swimmer fifteen minutes to get there, Bakuto's goal was to get there much faster.

Krillin actually said it would take an Olymic swimmer fifteen minutes to swim one mile. But, this is 100 miles, so it would actually take an Olympic athlete 25 hours to get there (and that's if they could swim that far without getting tired, through an open ocean).

This is why I said it would take most of the fighters here 12 hours to get there, because you're all supernaturally fit. Having broken bones, it would be impressive if Bakuto could even finish the swim, nevertheless beat the 12 hour estimate.

@Balthazar007 I think you meant to poke Blade, boss.

@FalloutJack

You're right. Thanks!

You need to edit your last post. You misunderstood something. Krillin said that an olympic swimmer can finish ONE mile in fifteen minutes, but this is 100 miles. So it would take an olympic swimmer 25 hours if they swam without getting tired. Everyone here is supposed to be stronger than olympic athletes, hence why he estimated it would take most everyone is twelve to fifteen hours.

Also, you're assuming that you can jump, skip, and hop over the other martial artists that are here, when actually, almost everyone here is on the same level, in terms of strength. :)

@Balthazar007 Think ya posted in the wrong place once, and I'm just giving the others a chance to post on their end.

@FalloutJack

Kame House -> Training Islands

Training Begins!

Krillin smiled a comforting smile as Bakuto seemed to be showing more respect now, even if it was out of a selfish desire to get stronger. The young man honestly reminded him of Goku. Of course, Goku was a full blooded Saiyan, so he was already much stronger than Bakuto by his age.

Krillin took a step back. "I can't guarantee you'll get as strong as Lazuli here, not in the short time we have left to prepare, but maybe if you work hard enough and pay attention... maybe you can come close. You will definitely surpass the level you're at right now, that's for sure."

He then turned his attention to everyone gathered around, not just Bakuto, "I think story time has ended for now. We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow. For now, we need to go to the island where you will be training for the next three weeks. It's also where you'll be sleeping. After all, you can't all fit in my house!"

"This will also be your first test, because you will all be swimming to the island." He then turned and looked out to see. "That island!" The island he was pointing to was a small lonely island, with just a few rocks peaking up over the horizon. "The island is about 100 miles or a 160 kilometers from here. An olympic athlete can swim a mile in fifteen minutes, but you should all be much stronger than that. Still, with the waves and the distance. I expect it will take most of you about twelve to fifteen hours... if you even finish at all." There were a few mutters of surprise or discontent throughout the small crowd.

"Don't act so surprised!" Krillin laughed. "You are preparing for a battle with aliens for goodness sake. If you can't even get through a little swimming lesson, how can we feel comfortable with you on our team... Anyways, starting with the ladies, take out a bathing suit, if you're not already wearing water friendly clothes, and you can go around behind my house to change. When all the ladies are done and in the water, the men can follow suit."

Suddenly a hand flew into the air. It was a man with short military style brown hair and tan skin. He wasn't wearing a shirt, only shorts and shoes.

"Yes?" Krillin asked.

"The clothes I'm wearing are waterproof, sir! Can I start swimming now!?"

Krillin was amused by the man's eagerness. "Sure!" He then addressed everyone. "If you don't need to change, feel free to start swimming!"

As people started dispersing, Krillin turned to Bakuto, who was already trying to stand up. "You sir, aren't going anywhere yet. You need to give those senzu beans time to work their magic. Your energy levels might be back to normal, but you still have broken bones. They won't heal if you don't give them at least an hour or two. Then you can catch up with everyone else."

A minutes later, Lazuli came out from behind Kame House, wearing an orange bikini that had the same martial arts logo that her fighting suit had earlier. She gave Bakuto a shy wave and another apologetic smile as she walked to the water. She didn't take off swimming like a bullet or anything. She seemed content to stay in the center of all the other women swimmers.

@Double@FalloutJack
I like the idea of creating a distraction and then running around the wall. I'd even go as far as to give one suggestion to the plan. Niko's Tornado Fist should be enough to blast through the fence, then they can stay on the ground as they approach the wall, thus making it possible to dodge shots from the turrets. In the air, they wouldn't be able to change trajectory (at least not until they learn how to fly).

I'm going to let you to keep going on your story line without me for a minute, until you give me something to react to as the security force.

Sorry i havent posted yet, live has been busy. Also having a bit of writers block trying to think of a reply. Kind of think I should wait until after someone recovers Bakuto from the ocean, since I can only imagine he would be barely conscious or even barely alive after taking that kind of shot from Krilian's granddaughter. It would be easier to reply to after Bakuto is saved from drowning and after the aftermath of getting his lights punched out.

@BladeSS4

Post is up. Wakey Wakey, Bakuto!

Bakuto Ashore!

The last thing Bakuto saw was the twinkling light of the midday sun, distorted by the water, as he slowly sank. Then it all went black.

Lazuli emerged from the water with a splash, like a dolphin doing tricks. In her arms, she held Bakuto's unconscious body. They were a good distance further out to sea than where he first entered the water. His momentum had carried him far, despite the water's resistance.

Once entirely out of the water, a few feet in the air, she stopped. She was floating, just like her great grandfather Krillin, who was still in the same spot, with his legs off the ground and crossed as if he were sitting. He held back a smirk as she flew toward the beach in a hurry, yet not too fast. She was being as gentle as she could, considering she was holding an injured person.

She set him down in the sand next to Krillin. "I'm so sorry." She said quietly, with wide eyes. She wasn't sure if Bakuto could hear her. He had spit up some water just after they emerged , and he was already breathing semi-normally, but his eyes were still closed. She took a step back and fell on her butt, in the sand, with her knees slightly bent in front of her and leaning back a little on her hands.

Krillin lowered his legs to the ground, while pulling something out of his pocket. He then knelt down beside Bakuto carefully, staring at him, expecting him to wake up any second. When he didn't wake up right away, he poked the young man in the ribs, the ones he could tell were broken. It was a rude way to wake someone up, but he hoped the senzu bean in his hand would be enough to make up for it.
