When Burko awoke he was laying down on a bed, near a window, inside a room with dull beige walls and a wooden table in the corner. How long had he been passed out? Days, weeks, maybe months? He dug into his pocket with his fingers until he found something round and fished it out. It was a senzu bean, he put it into his mouth and started chewing. It tasted a bit like celery, and before he knew it Burko was completely healed. He took off a bandage from around his head and stood up. He walked to the wooden table and picked up a note, he ripped off the top and here's what was written. Dear Burko Please come to my dojo as soon as possible, we have a lot of things to talk about. -HS Burko assumed it was from Hercule, so he forced opened the window and saw that he was in some sort of a hospital. He dived out of the window and fell to the ground, disturbing a group of pigeons that were busy eating bread crumbs from the floor. He stretched out his limbs a bit and quickly jogged towards Hercule's dojo. Soon enough, he got there and entered the dojo. He waved hello at the secretary, that barely payed him any mind and ran to meet Hercule. "Ah, hello there Burko! I see that you are much better now, thanks to the miracles of modern medicine!" Burko tried to contain his laughter at the last statement and said "Yes sir, they fixed me right up! Now, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Asked Burko. "I was wondering if you were still interested in joining the dojo, we would be glad to have you here!" Said Hercule with a gleeful grin. "Of course I would! It is the reason I came here after all." Said Burko. "Great, we can start immediately! Hey Buu, come in here!" Yelled Hercule, as a fat pink guy walked in, Burko noticed that he looked a lot like Oni. "Hello! You must be the new disciple!" Exclaimed the pink guy, Burko guessed that this was Buu "Yep, that's him. Now, I want you to show him that Atomic Blast attack that you can do, I'm uhhhh have a bad cold so I can't show him." Said Hercule. Buu looked at him with a confused expression, then turned to Burko "Follow Buu, I'll show you the Atomic Blast attack." Burko followed him outside, and to an area out back with a bunch of old rusted cars in a line. "Now pay very close attention to Buu's attack" Said Buu as he charged up and thrust out his hands, two balls of blinding white light appeared and shot forth, creating a mushroom cloud when it hit one of the cars, the car was nowhere to be found and it appeared as though it got incinerated completely from the blast. "Alright, let me try it" Said Burko, two tinier balls of white energy appeared and then fizzled out, but Burko was not dissapointed, and he kept trying all day to master it. He eventually figured out how to do it and went to tell Buu about it. "Good! Buu knew you could do it, that's all for today you can go home!" Said Buu, Burko thanked him for the training and went out onto the streets of west city. His walk turned into a quick jog, then it broke out into a full run, by the time he reached that park he was out of breath, but he fell onto the ground and started doing a bunch of pushups with no breaks in between. "198, 199, 200!" Burko exclaimed as he jumped up into the air and landed on his feet, he was pretty tired from the training, so he went into the main building of an apartment complex. He walked up to the man at the front desk and asked if there was a room, the man said that they had a few rooms so Burko paid him 80 zeni for the room and an extra 5 for a tip. He unlocked the front door, jumped onto the bed and slept, today had been a busy day. |

Burko got up from bed and immediately regretted that decision, it had been a few weeks since he went under Hercules tutelage but he quickly realized the power gap between them. None of the exercises even made him break a sweat and he had to always pretend to be tired just so he wouldn't upset Hercule. Last night he had actually gone to a bar with Roshi to catch up, he drank a little too much sake before heading home and passing out on his bed, so he woke up with a horrible pounding headache. He drank a glass of water, put on some fresh clothes, brushed his teeth, ate some eggs and bacon and walked out the front door of his apartment. He quickly broke into a jog and started heading towards Hercule's gym, he had memorized the entire city during jogs with Hercule but he only ever went to the gym and back to his place. Burko stepped into the front door and was immediately assaulted by a weak ki blast flying towards his head, he flicked it away making a scorch mark in the wall of the gym and then he heard a familiar voice yell "BURKOOOOOOOO!" Buu came flying towards Burko, obviously wanting to tackle him but Burko sidestepped and Buu went flying into the dirt instead. "Burko, Hercule said that you get to train with Buu today!" Buu exclaimed happily as he jumped up to his feet, Burko was quite relieved knowing that it was Buu and not some random enemy coming to kill him. He was also relieved that he would actually be doing some effective training rather than trying not to break every gym machine he uses. "That's good to hear, what are we going to do first?" Burko asked. "Buu is going to take Burko to the forest so we don't mess up the gym, let's go!" And without any warning, Buu grabbed Burko and dragged him through the air to reach the forest. They landed in a small clearing surrounded by gigantic redwood trees, "Alright, now just do what Buu does for the training!" Buu exclaimed. Buu closed his eyes and gathered all of his ki into the very tip of his fingers and latched onto the tree, climbing it to it's very top without actually grabbing it. "Woah Buu, that's amazing!" Burko exclaimed, surprised that someone so fat could climb a tree so nimbly. "Yep, now Burko try! Buu will be back at the gym, come back when you climb the entire tree, but remember to only use energy, don't actually grab the tree!" Buu said with a cheerful smile, before flying away back to west city. "Big deal." Burko thought "I only need to gather ki into my hand and use it to climb up, this should be simple." He gathered up a bit of his ki into his hand, latched onto the tree and started climbing. He was doing fairly well, but soon the fatigue of controling his ki for such a long period of time got to him and he fell all the way down, slamming into the ground. "Alright, this might be a little bit harder than what I expected it to be, but I can still do this." He gathered a lot more ki than before into his hand and started climbing. He was going up at a much faster pace, but the fatigue caught up much quicker so he just fell right back down again. "Damn, this is going to be much harder than I originally assumed it would be. This isn't working, so let me try something different" Burko thought to himself. Instead of channeling his ki into his entire hand, he channeled it into just his fingers. This actually worked very well, he wasn't using that much ki so he didn't get tired and he was ascending at a relatively rapid pace. Though, after going up a little bit more than halfway up the gigantic redwood he began to tire again due to the immense strain of simultaneously holding himself up with his ki, and maintaining his ki in his fingers the entire time and he quickly fell down again. He managed to catch himself and float in the air just before he reached the ground. He let himself go and flopped on the floor, completely at a loss of what to do. Buu managed to climb up the tree so easily without any fatigue, Burko knew that Buu was a little stronger than him but he was sure that he could do it. If using his fingers instead of his hand was easier because he didn't have to use so much ki, then there must be a way to minimize the amount of ki used even further. Burko walked up to the tree again, determined to find a solution to his problem. He did the same steps as before, closed his eyes and let his ki flow from his entire body to just his fingers. But this time, he fit all of his ki into his fingertips and not his entire fingers. He latched onto the tree and started climbing. It worked perfectly, he was able to ascend the tree without tiring himself out or using all of his ki. When he got to the top, he noticed a yellow sticky note on one of the branches, it said: "Hello Burko, If you're reading this you did it! Congratulations, come back to the gym!" Burko quickly flew down to the ground from the top of the tree and started jogging all the way there, occasionally jumping over fallen logs and other obstacles. Eventually, he reached the outskirts of the city and had to slow down a bit to not knock over any people, though he still maintained a decent pace. He reached the gym and strolled though the front door, waving at the secretary that barely even gave him any mind before entering Hercule's office. Hercule was there doing paperwork, but he looked up when he saw that it was Burko that entered his office "Ah, Burko! You must have finished your training with Buu, am I correct?" Hercule asked. "You sure are master, it was pretty tiring so I'm sorry if I don't have the strength to train with you today" Burko explained. "Ah, no problem. Go ahead and go back home early, you deserve it!" Said Hercule with a smile. Burko smiled back "Thanks master, have a good day!" Burko said his goodbyes and walked the rest of the way home. He flopped on the bed and rest a bit, that training sure did take a lot out of him |
