It has been over a week since the healers awakening ritual and the energy was just about ready. Gems woke up in his bed to a funny but strong telepathic message in his head. Boxers and a plain white T to give a physical attire description of the beginning of the day. Gemikai at first was experiencing a small headache to start, but later on after his head pain cleared the warrior started to remember something. Gem sat in his bed upright with the intention to breathe, focus, and open up his awareness.

Renso: "You are being summoned to The Lookout. It is time my son."

Renso, the Wing-King advisor - was able to receive the telepathic message while Gemikai was asleep. It was definitely something Gemikai didn't remember Renso being able to do, but he sure was glad he could do it. Gemikai would waste a little bit of time if USD called - they were still an earth realm kind of job - and unless it was life threatening Gem made them wait sometimes. Master Dende - The Guardian of Earth, however; is a different story all together. The purpose was different than USD, the difference between a job and calling was heavy. Gemikai couldn't even meet any important CEO types of his job yet, and everyone on his side of the faction knew of his strong combat and communicative abilities. Gem wasn't hype to meet them - but he found it to be suspicious that his skills didn't get him a meet with anybody. Just trainers and a few members of USD who's been there longer than most. Gemikai didn't feel connected to his team. Becoming a Pupil of The Guardian opened his spirit to a path greater than himself. The power that comes with the responsibility of a protector. Back to the current situation of the day. Gemikai jumped out of bed and got dressed almost immediately, not letting a moment of momentum go to waste. Gemikai knew what day it was - it was the finale of the healing ritual. The camera can see Gemikai locking his door and heading out the door with haste.



The look of determination overflowed his entire demeanor. Being excited for whatever comes next is usually scary to most mortals, but Gem was so differently uniquely made. Anything Master Dende had going on Gem wanted to be apart of it. Once the young warrior got to the outside of the building, Gem looked up to the sky, and with a great deal of power - super propelled himself into the afternoon sky moving towards the lookout direction. The drive. Or the fly. Through the air like a plane. On the way to his destination Gem could feel the energy of his teacher in harmony. It was a testimony to his sensory abilities - because a few days ago Gem had to focus hard. The air felt beautiful on his skin like any other writer would say about their character. Ki sensory would change to below him, just to scan the area best Gem could - to further continue his sensory training.



Less hunter mode and more security camera mode - while flying at good speed with confidence and happiness in the tank. The arrival. Gemikai arrived with the technique flight, and finally made feet landing just near the entrance of the building. The student can feel the master approaching - with the assistant too of course. The presence of Master Dende and Mister Popo. A real apple or his eye, Gemikai performed a bow in respect. The two host finally made a standing position once stepping forward. The three currently present knew what today was about - the final act. The conversation went as followed:

Master Dende:
"Greetings Young Gemikai. You are called here today to complete the healers ritual. Most of it is complete - but there is the final test."

Silence.


Usually Gem was all for words and cool comebacks. Not entirely going for funny but more striking wise kind of tune - but instead Gem was silent. The quiet must have meant ready. It took a few minutes to pass for the two to realize it was time for the next step. Next came Mister Popo - A powerful & faithful assistant - who was ready to administer the testing, stepped forward in response to the silence. Before getting too close, a flash of light erupted in the space of Popo and Gem - the flash was so bright and brief it was almost like a Solar Flare - but the light quickly faded and in its place was the Grand Item - The Magical Carpet.


Fortunately Gems teacher already told him about it a while back- but this was still his first time seeing it in person, and of course first time actually using it. Gem didn't act like it was his first time though, with no hesitation, he knew it was only one thing to do. Gem jumped right on it, with space to spare for Mister Popo - because Gem knew he couldn't navigate it. Mister Popo stepped on it with his usual professionalism - and in less than three seconds all three vanished into thin air.


Reappearance.



The three appeared in a much different area than the Lookout, it was still earth, but Gem and Mister Popo could hear conflict almost immediately upon arrival. Fortunately it wasn't energy blast, but gunfire was passing back and forth. It was a smaller town area, a warehouse, and it was a gang vs USD members. Gem immediately felt called to act - Mister Popo didn't say anything the entire time. The magic carpet poofed away as the two dark skinned individuals stepped off the carpet. Gem was ready to jump in and help fight while he had the element of surprise - but a telepathic message came at the right time, and the right place of course. Gotta love Master Dende - gotta love Master Dende everyday.

Master Dende:
"You are a skilled fighter. But as a leader you must be ready to make more strategic moves to protect our people. You might be able to best your opponents, but in the process of your victory those wounded during battle could die. Hospitals take time to get to, surgeries can be risky, and wounds might be more severe than it appears. You are not a mere grunt soldier, you are a leader for your people. That is why I blessed you with the ability to heal. Healing the injured can change the tide in a battle immediately. Heal the injured with pure intentions I know you have, and you will with no doubt always be one of earths greatest protectors.".



Papa Dende always knew how to give a good ass speech. The message was so powerful, when Gem looked over to Popo a smile was seen on the assistants face. The assistant might be in a good mood but he usually would never show it publicly. It was a sign that Mister Popo also heard the message given to Gem - but also believing in Gemikai. Or believing in Kami's choice. Either way it was more than enough inspiration to get Gemikai going. Gemikai sprinted into the dark warehouse to complete his mission, disappearing into the threshold of this unknown building. Mister Popo could still hear gunshots but not even a few minutes later silence erupted. If this was people with higher power levels, Gem would've had to think about it. But at the level of power he was currently at, Gem ran through any enemies - and was able to heal all injured USD troops. Once everyone was healed, Gem watcher the USD squad complete their own mission. If you were there you could tell these agents we're sure they were knocking on deaths door - but Gemikai saved them and watched as his comrades pushed on to victory.


Gemikai did a dramatic movie exit of the building with about four USD cadets, all while trying to evade the twenty questions on how a person can heal. A secret Gem didn't know he wanted to keep untill now. Gemikai assisted the USD with their reports and managed to catch up with Mister Popo to catch a ride on the carpet. The experience felt like it was going to be harder than what it was, but once Gemikai received that message from his teacher everything else was spiritual instinct. The carpet instantly took them back to the Grand Presence of Kami. The return was met with smiles and applause from the Guardian himself. Gemikai was so grateful he really could do nothing but bow in honor. The ability to heal was so profound to Gemi, it felt like a teenager became a young man. A young man with a powerful purpose - given by Kami himself. The moment was still intense for everyone, but very much more for Gemikai deep down inside.

Master Dende:
"Is something on your spirit, son? You did a wonderful thing today. How can I be of assistance to you?"


Gemikai:
"Yes, something is on my spirit, Master. This last mission felt so eye opening for me. I find myself more fulfilled than I ever thought possible. I had heard that traditionally you are supposed to give your new master something in exchange for training or teachings. I am aware you chose me first; however, I have been thinking of what I can give to show my gratitude. I think I've come up with the perfect thing to give you master."

Master Dende:
"Oh? You've been a wonderful student, and I did choose you so I never looked for any price to be paid - beyond a desire to protect our planet. But I honor your decision to honor me. What do you have in mind my son?"


Gemikai:
"I would like to give up my hair. After teaching me about Namekians, and telling me they are all bald - I wanted to pay tribute to you & your people. I'd feel much closer to you without the human hair. I'd be happy to get it removed. I would really love to honor my role as your pupil. Besides, you've given me much more than the hair on my head ever could. Cutting off my hair right now will be a wonderful rite of passage into the protector I am becoming."


Master Dende:
"Wow. I wasn't expecting that! I think that's the first time a student has ever done something like that in my honor. It fills my heart up with joy. Thank you for your very kind words. Allow me to assist you with this rite of passage."


The Guardian of Earth literally got up from his seat to help Gemikai. Mister Popo was ready to catch Kami, like he always is, but Kami had no issues standing up. Gemikai started to slightly raise up from his bow himself just to make sure his master was okay. Dende raised his hands up, with a face of pure bliss, and a flash of green light erupted from his finger tips - then palm - and then it shot out to Gemikai's body. Gem immediately trusted the feeling and closed his eyes - ready for an open embrace. Ready to take it to the next level. Gem kept his eyes closed as the light moved in and out of his body.


Master Dende:
"You may now open your eyes. Your transformation is complete."

Gemikai had opened his eyes and could feel the weight of his hair to be non existent. It may only looked like a magical hair cut from the outside, but the entire experience has made him something else. It was a grand chapter in Gemikai's side of Dragon Ball Horizon.
