This chapter is old and kind of sucks, watch out.
Frieza's ship was nearly broken, it was almost impossible to fly. However, the gang managed to maneuver it back towards Earth. The time in which they would make it to Earth would be a guess at most...
"Wow, Piccolo... you really got that strong by fusing?" Goku asked, slightly amazed, but still knowing that his power was leagues above Piccolo's.
"I was impressed myself. Such a power up I never thought possible, especially for me." Piccolo replied. They were sitting in one of the only rooms with beds, passing the time until Earth would come into view. King Kai told all of Goku's friends still on planet Earth who were unknowing that Goku and the others would arrive home safely.
Krillin and Gohan were in another room, practically asleep while Dende found a bed that almost suited him in the third room. Their battle with Vegeta would be one they would never forget, along with all of the events on Namek. What would scar Gohan the most, for many years to come, would be the arrival of the Ginyu Force, a battle he nearly died to. Recoome's kick dealt a lot of damage to Gohan, breaking his neck in the process.
"Krillin?" Gohan looked over at Krillin while saying this. Krillin looked back.
"Do you think Vegeta will come back?" Gohan asked nervously.
"Are you kidding? Vegeta is dead! Piccolo was way too strong for him." Krillin replied, reassuring Gohan, as he had been acting slightly strange throughout the flight and Krillin suspected it was because of Vegeta.
"I hope that's true..." Gohan said, looking straight up once more, hands behind his head like he was relaxing.
"Don't worry, Gohan." Krillin reassured Gohan once more. They laid back in peace again, like they were doing before their chat.
"Hey guys!" Goku rushed into the room. "I see Earth! Piccolo's already up in the bridge!" Goku said excitedly.
"Really?" Gohan asked as he rushed out of the room. Krillin followed in close pursuit. It was a short sprint to the bridge from their rooms, and once they made it up there, they saw a small blue pearl floating in the middle of a dark sky. Piccolo and Dende were already staring out, appreciating the vivid tones of the beautiful planet as the ship drifted closer and closer.
Goku had a seat by them, choosing one of the many chairs that a crew would sit on. Gohan flopped beside him, and Krillin lacklusterly chose the chair next to Gohan. They stared out of the massive glass window at the beautiful globe for nearly an hour until it almost covered their entire view.
"There is our Earth!" Goku exclaimed with a rising voice. "We're almost here, be patient guys!" Gohan was nearly bouncing out of his seat. After the ship took off back at Namek, they had almost forgotten about Bulma until Krillin jogged their memory (The author had almost forgotten about Bulma as well!). They had picked her up on the way off of Namek. She was currently sleeping like a baby on a mess of blankets and pillows she brought on the trip in the furthest room from the others. Gohan's hassle had awoken her, and now she stood at the door to the bridge.
"What's happening? You woke me u-" Bulma said, not paying attention to her surroundings before the saw the blue and green Earth filling up the glass window. Her face lightened up with pure joy.
"Is that really Earth?" She asked, almost bouncing out of her blanket she was covering herself with for warmth.
"Mhm. Sure is." Gohan replied, now calmed down from his overexcitement earlier. Bulma joined the others, sitting next to Krillin and stared out of the window.
"We should probably start trying to land this thing…" Piccolo suggested as he got up from his seat and waltzed towards the ship controls. He was the one who got the ship off of the ground, so he thought to himself that he could land it. Once they powered through the Earth's atmosphere, they tried to find a suitable place for landing. A plateau nearby looked good enough.
The landscape they were flying over was a barren wasteland, a desert, void of all life. Surely they wouldn't shock any onlookers in this landscape. Piccolo brought the ship down, but the landing was a bit clunky. The ship jolted about slightly until it settled on the mesa. Once they were firmly situated on the rock, Piccolo opened the exit doors and led the others outside.
"Man, it feels good to be back on Earth again." Goku said, looking at the beautiful clouds in the distance and the blue sky above. Bulma came out last, and she was extremely happy to be off of that desolate planet. Goku looked around for a significant power. He was able to sense Master Roshi quite a ways away. Even further away, he could sense Chi Chi's power level, but they wouldn't make it there in good time.
They decided to head towards Kame House, where Goku felt Master Roshi's ki. Bulma grabbed hold of Gohan and they all headed off to Kame House. It was about a minute until they arrived, they saw the red roof that stood out like the sun in the sky, not to mention the hot pink wood lining the home. They flew down to the shore of the island, and Master Roshi happened to be just outside.
"Eh? Goku! Krillin!" He said once he spotted them landing. "Bulma, Gohan… even Piccolo! You made it back safe?" Roshi stood up from his chair and eyed them all down.
"You bet! The ride home was a little bumpy, but we're here now!" Goku replied with a smile. His gi was ripped to shreds from the many fights on Namek.
"Goku, your gi… it's all torn up! You must have had a tough time on Namek." Master Roshi said surprised.
"Sure… but we're here now." Goku said back to Roshi.
"And… who's that?" Roshi pointed at Dende who was currently half hiding behind Piccolo.
"Oh, that's Dende. A little Namekian who helped us on Namek." Goku replied, as Dende shifted out from behind Piccolo. They would spend about an hour more at Kame House until they went to see the others. They decided to go see Goku's family first. They said their goodbyes to Master Roshi and headed off over the sea. It was nearly a straight shot to the north from Kame House, and not a long flight at all. In nearly a minute they were over the mainland, and nearly a minute later they saw Goku's home in the distance.
It almost seemed like Chi Chi knew they were coming. She ran out of the door, almost dragging Ox King outside. She stared in awe at the specks of people coming towards them.
"Look… it's… Goku and Gohan! They're back!" Chi Chi said with satisfaction filling her face. Goku and the others landed down near the home. Goku and Gohan ran towards Chi Chi and quickly they hugged her both.
"I'm so glad your back!" Chi Chi stated with relief. She was so happy they were finally home. She had worried about them for days and nights on end while they were on Namek, not wanting to lose either of them to any of the villains. Like with Master Roshi, they all stayed and chatted for a while until they decided to find the others who had been resurrected. However, it seemed as if they didn't need to, as Tien, Yamcha, and Chaozu were already on their way.
"Dad! I sense Tien and the others!" Gohan said with excitement. Goku looks towards the direction where he could feel their powers, and saw them in the distance. Tien was waving already, even though he could have been a mile away. They were all eager to see Goku once more. Soon enough the trio landed by the house.
"Well, hello guys!" Goku cracked another smile as he spoke, he hadn't seen the others in over a month.
"Look who it is, our Saiyan hero." Tien said happily, walking towards Goku. "We're all glad we can see you again. Chaozu could barely wait the entire flight." After he said this, Chaozu came running up to Goku. He was smiling as well, and greeted the hero. Yamcha followed.
"We all got much stronger while training with King Kai, but Goku, you're still way on top!" Yamcha said as he shook hands with Goku. They chattered and talked for hours more, about the fights and adventures they all had while they were separated. Yamcha joked about how Piccolo would just sit and "meditate" almost all the time while they were training with King Kai. Piccolo just groaned and gave him a sucker punch.
"Wait… what about Vegeta?" Tien asked. He had a significant grudge against him, as all the others had. Piccolo spoke up.
"He may have become stronger, but he was no match for me once I fused with Nail. He's long dead." Piccolo replied. Tien laughed moderately.
"Heh, so the 'Prince of all Saiyans' is gone. He talked of himself so highly… bastard." Tien said through the chuckles. He emphasized the last word, however, trying to prove how terrible Vegeta was.
"I'm so glad he's gone. I'll never forget that Saibaman. Cheapshot." Yamcha said slightly angrily. They were silent for a while, besides Bulma and Chi Chi chatting in the background.
Soon enough the others went off. Goku and Gohan stayed, as this was their home along with Chi Chi and Ox King. Suddenly, Chi Chi's face lit up with frustration as she remembered something.
"Gohan?" She asked. Gohan's eyes opened wide.
"W… what?" Gohan Replied. He started to sweat, as he began to remember as well.
"You DIDN'T FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK!" Chi Chi yelled as Gohan ran at the speed of sound into the house.
"Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry…" Gohan repeatedly yelled as he ran to finish his homework. And 'twas a normal day, back on earth.
