Once we got settled into the island, Roshi took out a capsule and compressed the house in it. He then popped out another capsule and a boat came out, Roshi then said, "Alright guys get in, we're going to the mainland so I can properly train you Hercule." We hopped on the boat and drove for a few hours, finally by the time nightfall came we reached the coast and set everything up again. Roshi then looked at me, "you should head off to sleep, we're starting bright and early tomorrow." I got a futon mat and helped my wife set it up, we got settled in again and went to sleep. I woke up to a scream, and with Roshi with his back flat on the floor while my wife looked angry, "YOU FUCKING PERVERT, DON'T YOU KNOW TO NEVER PEEK AT A WOMAN'S PANTIES!!!" Roshi groaned, "Hercule you got a hell of a woman, are you sure she's not the martial artist in your family, she packs one hell of a punch." I laughed a little bit and said, "Master you got all those magazines and tapes, no need to risk your life with my wife." She glared at me, her hand close to my face, "You wanna get it next as well Hercule." I smiled nervously and took Roshi from my room, "of course not honey I'll see you later."
Roshi got cleaned up and took me outside, "we'll start with the Basics Hercule, follow me and start running." I followed after Roshi, the rest of the day was just like in classic dragon ball, I went through the milk delivery, plowing the field with my hands, studying, construction work, swimming and then dodging bees. The first day passed and I felt sore as hell, I knew the next day was going to be worse as the 50 pound turtle shell was going to be added, but I wanted to not simply survive in this world I wanted to thrive.
The next few months were brutal, there were days that I wanted to give up and return to my normal life. But seeing my 'wife' and my 'daughter' supporting me through this training kept me going. In the meantime however, I found out my wife was named Miguel, I discovered it thanks to Krillin asking what her name was while I overhead it. Finally 6 months passed and I felt pretty good. Roshi doubled the weight on the shell but even with that I felt pretty good. Eventually, he mixed in sparring as well, Krillin would generally kick my ass, but as time went on I would be able to get an occasional punch or kick in. Even master Roshi got into sparring as well and started training alongside me as well. Finally, a year had passed, I felt incredible and stronger than ever.
One afternoon, as me, Krillin, and Master Roshi were getting back from sparring I heard a thud from the living room, I found my wife passed out while Videl crying besides her. I panicked, we had to get her some medical attention but we were in the middle of nowhere, Krillin got out a phone and called someone, he told that person to get a medical unit and some doctors out here right away. After an hour, I heard a roaring engine coming from the skies, it was a ship with the capsule corp logo on it, 'Bulma' I thought. Just as I thought a blue haired woman came out along with what seemed like 2 doctors, she got out a capsule with what seemed to be a medical unit, they put her in there and stabilized her, but after a few hours the doctors reported in and said that her condition was terminal. I asked them how much time she had left, they said a few months at most. I was devastated, even though she was just a fictional character I was living a life with her and Videl like a family, I didn't know what to do, all I knew is I would have to take care of her on my own now. However, I realized we had the dragon balls, I spoke up, "Hey Bulma, I heard Krillin speak about these wish granting balls and that you got this radar that tracks them. You think you can led it to me so I can gather them?" Bulma looked at me, "I don't have it with me right now, it's back home in west city, but you can come with me if you want. The doctors can keep her stable." I went up to my wife and held her hand, "I promise I will save you no matter what." I went to Bulma to her ship and we went to west city.
We landed at capsule corp, and I marveled at the size of the building, it was much bigger than the office I worked at in my old life. Bulma went to her lab and took out the dragon radar and taught me to use it. She even lent me a Hover bike like the one Yamcha had and taught me the basics of using it. I got the tracker and took off.
I spent about 2 weeks tracking the dragon balls, some of them were in areas that were hard to reach for a normal person.But thanks to my training it was a piece of cake. The last ball was on mount Paozu, as it was on Gohan's head. I came back there and greeted Goku. I explained to him that I needed the ball to save my wife and that I would return it afterwards. Goku agreed and Chi Chi told me what I was doing was sweet. I thanked them and I was on my way.
Finally, I had gathered all the balls. I hurried to Kame house and got the balls in front of Miguel. She was laying on the bed holding Videl, she was awake but she could barely speak. I summoned Shenlong, a gigantic dragon appeared and spoke aloud, "I am the eternal dragon, state your wish and it shall be granted." I spoke up, "Shenlong, I wish for Miguel here to be cured of her sickness." The dragons eyes glowed, "An easy task." A light overtook her and Videl and just like that the dragon vanished, but before I did I jumped up and grabbed the 4 star ball. Miguel got up from the bed and hugged me, "I feel so much better, thank you Hercule, I love you." I blushed, I was so damn happy. I'd never had my own family or even a girlfriend in my old life, 'I'm going to love living here', I thought. After that, I went back to Mount Paozu and gave Goku his ball back. "Thank you so much Goku, you saved my wife. You know, you and your family should drop by more often." Goku smiled and said he would one of these days. I took off and headed back to Kame House, life in this new world felt good.
