Chapter 1: Wink Of An Eye
"Huh."
Goku was shocked, one minute he had been on Namek, facing off with Frieza next to the Dragon of Namek, Vegeta was about to blast Frieza, and the next he was floating in the air above a lush, green forest.
"Dad!"
Goku turned as Gohan flew towards him, hugging him tight around the waist. Despite his confusion Goku hugged him back.
"Gohan, thank god you're ok" Goku said as he looked into Gohans eyes. Goku then looked down to the ground and saw hundreds of Namekians congregated in a huge clearing along with Bulma, the same Namekian kid who had asked the Dragon for a wish and Piccolo, who was lying, unconscious on the ground.
"Hey Goku!" Bulma called out with a wave. "Come on down here"
Goku and Gohan flew to the ground, and were met immediately with hugs from Bulma. She stepped back and examined Goku's, beat up appearance.
"God Goku, you look like hell" she said with a worried look. Gohan walked round in front of Goku, next to Bulma and looked his dad up and down.
"Did you manage to beat Freiza dad?" the young Saiyan asked. Hearing this Goku started to clench his fists and lightning crackled around his Super Saiyan aura.
"Freizaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" he roared. All the Nameks, Bulma and Gohan jumped back at the power of Goku's aura, blasting out like a shockwave. After a few seconds it died down and Goku calmed himself.
"I'm sorry everyone." Goku said, hanging his head low in disappointment. "I wanted to defeat Freiza on Namek, but somehow we're all now here, back on Earth right?"
"Right."
Goku turned around and saw the Namek kid and Piccolo stood behind him. "Hello Goku, my name is Dende, I'm sorry but I was told to wish for everyone except Freiza to be transported to Planet Earth so that the explosion of Namek would destroy him." Dende said with a somewhat forlorn look on his face.
Goku smiled and knelt down to Dende's level, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Look Dende it's not your fault ok, you were just following instructions." Goku said, Dende looking back at him, now with a slight smile on his face.
"Thank you Goku." smiled Dende. "But maybe you should come and see our Elder, Guru. He could tell you more.
"Ok then Dende, lead the way." Goku replied
Dende, Gohan and Bulma led the way, as Goku and Piccolo walked behind, talking.
"So this is what a Super Saiyan looks like then? I must say it's an improvement." Piccolo said, examining Goku's new physique.
"Speaking of improvements, how did you recover in the time it took me to land on the ground and turn around?" Goku said, cocking an eyebrow.
Piccolo pointed at Dende, up front. "Dende. He has the ability to heal fighters in a matter of seconds, thats why Freiza killed him." Piccolo glanced at the countless cuts and bruises on Goku's body. "Maybe you should have him fix you up?"
"I'll be fine for now." Goku said. "What I need is to find out why I was transported off of Namek with everyone else.
"You wanted to remain behind and finish your fight with Freiza didn't you?" Piccolo asked, watching as Goku nodded his reply.
"It was already happening Piccolo, why stop it." Goku said, a mask of hidden anger on his face.
"Maybe it was for the best Goku?" Piccolo asked. "At least this way we can make a new plan to..."
"What if he brings an army to Earth Piccolo?" Goku interrupted, finally looking back at the Namek.
Piccolo looked at the horizon for a moment, not knowing what to say, as he and Goku stopped walking and stood in silence, both lost in thought.
"Goku here we are." Dende called out from a few feet in front of them. Dende pointed at Guru. "This is our honorable Elder, Guru."
Goku looked forward and saw a huge Namekian sat in the middle of a crowd of other Namekians but didn't move. For a moment he just stood with an expression of concentration on his face.
"Goku, are you ok?" Asked Bulma.
"Dad?" Said Gohan with a worried look.
Goku looked up at everyone. "Sorry everyone I have to go and get some answers, but I'll be back."
With that Goku blasted off and flew off into the distance, leaving everyone confused.
"Dad no!" Gohan cried as he jumped into the air to follow.
"Gohan stop!"
Gohan turned around and saw Piccolo shaking his head.
"Leave him be Gohan, your dad just needs some time to figure things out."
Gohan turned back to watch Goku's aura disappear into the distance as tears started to well up in his eyes.
"Dad come back soon please. We all need you."
A couple of miles away from the clearing with the Nameks, Goku flew over the edge of the forest and proceeded into a mountain range. However he was not aware of a presence that had been watching him from a safe distance ever since the the return to Earth.
"Now then, lets see whats so important shall we. Kakarot." Vegeta smiled to himself and then flew off in hot pursuit of Goku.
Well what did you think people? If you liked it then R&R and if enough people like the idea then I'll carry it on yeah:-D
