As soon as we began to make the wish to bring my dad back, we encountered a problem. The fact that it would end up taking multiple wishes to bring him back wasn't the problem. As soon as that problem had come up, Pigero had happily ceded his spot on the revival board so that we could do so. After all, he didn't have any family or friends other than me at the moment, so coming back to life wasn't as big a deal for him as it was for Yamcha, since he could get stronger at King Kai's place.
No. The problem was.
"The individual Goku cannot be brought to Earth's Check-in Station in the spirit realm."
"But why not!?" Bulma shouted at the buff Dragon.
"Because he's alive! If I were to bring him there, he'd have to die!" The dragon shouted back. This was met with mixed reactions, mainly shock.
"I knew it!" Krillin pumped his fist into the air, hearing it.
"Alright, then! If Goku's alive, then let's just ask Shenron to bring him here, then!" Bulma declared. Elder Moori translated the wish for us, but the Dragon failed once again.
"The individual Goku has resisted being transported to this place. He says that he'll come back later." Porunga declared.
"WHAT!? And why is that?! Why wouldn't Goku want to come home to his wife and children!? BRING MY HUSBAND BACK RIGHT THIS INSTANT, DRAGON!" My charming mother screamed at the nonresponsive Dragon.
"It's pretty obvious, right!? He's scared. I'd be too." Oolong muttered to himself.
"That's for sure. Goku's obviously terrified of the one thing stronger than a Super Saiyan! His wife!" Roshi yelled in realization. I used one hand to facepalm while I wrapped my other arm around my mom, Luckily, Uncle Raditz was there to help me stop her before she turned Master Roshi into Master Roshi soup.
"Make your other two wishes! I'm getting tired." Porunga declared stingily. I'd had Shay tell him to count the message from Goku as a wish so that we didn't end up having to argue over the last free wish, since the Namekians wanted to spend four months on Earth.
There weren't any problems with using the other two wishes to bring Yamcha and Pigero back to life. Though in the end, Raditz and Gohan had to hold me back after Yamcha was brought back. This was because he'd been brought back right above my kitchen ceiling, which he'd then fallen through, before cracking through the floor as well, finally landing in the storage area basement of the dojo. I'd been absolutely livid about that since Pigero and I had built all of that ourselves by hand, but he'd managed to just barely appease me by promising to help the Namekians fix it up.
...
"Nrrgh." Goku groaned as he awoke, mere hours after the battle on Namek. His head felt like someone was holding a sledgehammer gun to it and repeatedly pressing the trigger.
Looking at the ship around him, it all began to come back to the Saiyan. After he'd managed to get inside the ship, back on Namek, the door had only barely begun to close when Goku had felt the floor drop out on him. As the door slowly closed, Goku had been thrown around the ship far more violently than anything Frieza had managed to do to him. The last thing that he'd remembered was slamming his head into the panel that controlled the artificial gravity before everything had gone dark.
"At least I'm alive." Goku muttered to himself, rubbing the back of his head. His hand came away slick with blood, which he wiped against his pants. "So there's a dent in my head, but not in the equipment, huh? Talk about quality!" He couldn't help but note, running his hand against one of the panels that he remembered slamming his head against. Naturally, it was Core Girl quality. A mere Super Saiyan could never hope to damage it.
"I guess I should get something to eat... and take a bath." Thinking about food first and foremost, Goku reluctantly admitted to himself that he probably needed to clean the wound in the back of his head. He could practically hear Chichi screaming in his ear about how he'd die if the wound got infected. "Man, I already miss her so much."
The ship was an absolute mess, but all the necessities were still where they should be. After a bath and a large meal, Goku's attention finally strayed to the thing he'd been ignoring. "Well... I guess I should figure out what planet I'm on. It's definitely not Earth, but I can still sense a bunch of energy signatures outside."
After leaving his ship, Goku turned it into a capsule before he headed out. "Man, I'm not really sure where to go. I guess the obvious thing is to go to the strongest energy signature on the planet... That way?"
The ship had landed in the middle of a large, deserted mountain range. The energy signature that Goku was looking for was rather far away, too.
Unbeknownst to Goku, he was on the planet Yardrat.
In canon, Goku had landed on Yardrat basically dead. They'd pulled him out of his capsule themselves before nursing him back to health. The person that had then taught Goku the famous Instant Transmission skill was the person that he was flying toward right now. Elder Pybara. Pybara led a large settlement on Yardrat, and was said to be the foremost master on Spirit Control in the galaxy.
But he wasn't. Not really. Hanna had only learned that during her sightseeing via the Well. Deep beneath the mountains of Yardrat, the true master of Spirit Control was in a different league altogether. That unfortunately included his bad personality. The likely reason that he'd never shown himself in the canon was because he took his nonintervention very seriously. But now, he was going to come face-to-face with Goku whether he wanted to or not.
"No."
"Just train him for a few days."
"No."
"Mistress has given her order."
"I don't care."
"You sit here doing nothing, not living, not dying, for all eternity. You have nothing to lose." The girl in front of the young Yardratian reminded him.
"And nothing to gain." He answered.
"Actually, I lied." The girl admitted. "If you refuse, you will die."
"Threats? Really?"
The girl shrugged in response. "Do you even care whether you train him or not? What does it matter to you if a universe that you have nothing to do with is destroyed? He'll never be able to kill you, after all."
The Yardratian bit his lip for a moment before giving the girl a sharp nod. Almost immediately after getting the affirmative, she disappeared like smoke. "Spirit form, huh? Trusts me that little... But she seemed to be rather invested in this young man. Maybe he'll be worth my time..." He muttered to himself, a small smile playing across his lips. "I wonder if those girls would become angry with me if he somehow died during my training? I suppose that's a bridge that I'll cross if it comes to it."
...
Goku blasted forward towards the life signs that he was sensing when suddenly, they became further away, Not much further, mind you, but noticeable enough. Confused, Goku paused mid-air for a moment before shrugging it off. blasting forward once more. Then, the same thing happened again.
"What the? YAAAH!" Even more confused, Goku decided to do what he always did when faced with adversity. Rush through it headfirst by force. With all his might, Goku blasted forward. Once. Twice. Five times. Ten, he kept going.
"You're an idiot, you know. You can't escape from a Spatial Area with brute force. Especially not at that weak level." Suddenly, Goku found himself passing a tall man with pink skin and a large head. The man's clothes seemed strange to Goku, but this was an alien planet, after all.
"So you're the one doing this?" Goku asked, stopping in front of the alien after being teleported backwards again. He immediately put his guard up. This man's energy was strange... Goku could sense it, but he couldn't sense the bottom of it at all, and the weirdest part was how perfectly controlled it was, despite being so dense.
The man shrugged casually. "Welcome to Yardrat. I am Raika."
"Why are you trying to keep me here?" Goku asked the man.
"You impressed me, defeating Frieza, Goku. I've decided to become your teacher. Temporarily, at least." The man explained to Goku.
"What?" Goku exclaimed, surprised. "How do you know my name? And that I defeated Frieza?" Nobody had been on Namek when it exploded. Perhaps King Kai, Shay, and a few others were capable of watching the fight remotely, but they'd have to know about it in order to see it. How did this guy know about him?
"You're not going to find anything too useful if you go to that town." Raika changed the subject, gesturing toward the general area that contained the people that Goku had been going toward, "Perhaps they have deteriorated versions of my old teachings, but the chances of you actually learning those techniques..." He trailed off, shrugging once more. "Your choice. I'll give you five days to leave this area. Or at least find yourself on the right track, I don't particularly care." With that, the Yardratian vanished without a trace.
"So I need to get out of here, huh?" Goku didn't really know what he thought about the strange guy, but the fact remained that he needed to leave the designated space one way or another, so he decided to not think about what followed. "Man, I miss Chichi... and Gohan and Hanna, too." looking around, Goku thinks on his next move, before he makes his decision. "Man, I'm really bad at stuff like this. I'd rather have something to punch." He mutters, flying into the air.
His decision was pretty simple. Goku flew as high up as he could, holding his breath in the upper atmosphere before attempting to pass over the invisible barrier, only to find himself teleported back again. "So... no way to go over it, huh? How about under!?" With a shout, Goku begins digging deep into the dirt toward the barrier. The moment that he passed it, the air seemed to disappear from Goku's lungs as he suddenly found himself buried alive, no space to move, and not even any air to breathe. Goku immediately goes into a panic and begins desperately climbing toward the surface with all of his might, but it's no use. He's too deep underground. 'Am I... going to die like this!?' Goku can't help but think as he quickly begins to run out of air in his lungs. "I... WON'T...!" Goku exclaims as his mind went blank. Out of sheer desperation, Goku's aura changes, becoming denser and rougher as his hair turns golden. "KAMEHAMEHA!" With a shout that takes the entire remainder of the air in Goku's lungs, Goku unleashed the strongest Kamehameha he can muster with whatever energy he has left. Then, everything went black for him as he lost consciousness.
...
"Alright, so there's no way to get around it by going up, and I'm not about to try that again, that's for sure." It'd been an hour since Goku'd woken up, inside of a hole so deep that he could barely see the sky from inside it, and he'd just finished eating lunch in his spaceship. He'd had the idea to use it to get out of the teleporting space, but he found that every time he tried to start it, a timer would appear instead. According to the timer, the ship wouldn't be flying anywhere for the next year and a half or so. "That's it!"
Suddenly, Goku had an epiphany. Reverting the ship back to its capsule form, he sat down cross legged near the center of the teleporting area.
...
'Finally.'
