Chapter 3, here we go! But before we start, I just want to ask, should I include filler in this? Like the Garlic Jr. saga (If I ever get that far) should I include it? Or should I exclude all filler?

"D-d-daddy!" Gohan cried.

"Don't worry son, everything is ok. The bad guy left, there's no need to cry anymore." Goku said as he picked up his son.

"Daddy, who was that scary guy?" Gohan asked as he continued to cry.

"That was a bad guy named Piccolo. But don't worry about him son, I'll protect you." Goku said assuringly.

"Eh, Goku, can I talk to you?" Came Master Roshi's voice.

"Huh? Oh, sure Master Roshi." Goku said as he handed Gohan to Bulma. Master Roshi obviously wanted to talk in private as he was a good distance away from everyone else.

"Goku, I think your taking this situation far to lightly." Master Roshi said.

"What situation?" Goku asked.

"What Piccolo said! Didn't you here him, he said an alien that's stronger then the both of you combined is on the planet!" Master Roshi exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm a little worried to, but what do you want me to do?" Goku asked.

"Well, first off, don't be so quick to trust Piccolo, for all we know this whole thing might be a big trick! But just in case, you should listen to what he said. I can tell that your power level hasn't gone down at all since the 23rd world martial arts tournament, in fact, it's actually gone up a bit, but that doesn't mean you can just take it easy for the rest of your days. What has it been, 4 years since you beat Piccolo?" Master Roshi asked.

"Five actually." Goku answered.

"Well then you have no excuse for your current power! In those five years, if you were training properly, you would be much stronger!" Master Roshi scolded.

"I'm sorry Master Roshi, it's just, Chi Chi doesn't like me training. She says fighting is a bad influence on Gohan." Goku said.

"Hmm, well then I guess we shouldn't let her find out!" Master Roshi said. Goku looked confused.

"What are you talking about Master Roshi?"

"Goku, you still have a responsibility to protect the earth. And in order to do that you have to train, and if Chi Chi won't let you, then we'll keep it a secret. You come here whenever you can and we'll train, I'll even get Krillin to join us!" Master Roshi said excitedly.

"I don't know Master Roshi, I don't really like keeping secrets from Chi Chi." Goku said.

"Oh come on Goku! I know you want to fight, you desperately want to!" Master Roshi said.

"Well, yeah it would be nice, but-"

"And you would get to see me and Krillin all the time." Master Roshi continued.

"Well that would be nice to, but I still-"

"Come on Goku! Think about all the innocent people that will die if you're not ready for this new threat! Whether it be Piccolo or some alien, the earth is in danger!" Master Roshi practically yelled.

"Well...ok, I'll do it." Goku finally gave in.

"Hehehe, excellent! Come back here tomorrow, and we'll get some serious training done." Master Roshi said with a smile.

"Ok, I'll see you then Master Roshi." Goku said as he turned around.

"Oh, and one more thing, bring Gohan with you to." Master Roshi suddenly said.

"What? But Master Roshi, Chi Chi really won't like me taking Gohan away everyday. She's really serious about his studies." Goku said.

"Fine, you don't have to bring him everyday, but bring him here as often as you can. Some tough training will do that boy good." Master Roshi said. Goku looked at Gohan, who was still whimpering, and made his decision.

"Ok, I'll try. I'll see you tomorrow Master Roshi." Goku said.

"Goodbye Goku!" Roshi called. Goku then said his goodbye's to Bulma and Krillin, and told them about what he and Master Roshi were talking about. Bulma said she'll try and get Yamcha to come over as well, and said she'll come by from time to time as well. Goku then called Nimbus back, and he and Gohan hopped on top of it and flew away.

"Bye everyone!" Goku called.

"Bye!" They called back.

"By Mr. Roshi, bye Bulma, bye Krillin, bye Turtle!" Gohan called as well. Pretty soon, the father and son were out of sight.

"Uhh, Gohan, there's something I want to talk to you about." Goku said.

"Huh? What is it daddy?" Gohan asked.

"How would you like to come with me to Master Roshi's house again tomorrow?" Goku asked.

"Really! Ok!" Gohan said excitedly.

"All right good, but were going to be doing some hard training, ok? Think you can handle it?" Goku asked.

"Training? But mom says training is bad." Gohan said.

"Well yeah, but were not going to tell your mother. So do you want to come?" Goku asked. Gohan thought about it for a minute, he wasn't sure if he wanted to do any training, but seeing his new friend's again would be nice.

"Ok, I'll come." Gohan said with a smile.

"That's my boy." Goku said happily. So the father and son flew home happily in anticipation of the next day. But unknown to them, a great evil was approaching. Two evil saiyan's were just now boarding space pods and heading to earth, and they would arrive in just one year. Piccolo flew through the air, about to pass out. He was on his last limb and needed to rest, he soon found a good place to do so in the form of a cave behind a waterfall. It was the perfect spot for someone like him, dark and secluded, with an endless supply of water for him. Piccolo flew through the water fall and landed on the cave floor, it wasn't very comfortable, but in his damaged state, it didn't take Piccolo long to fall asleep.

Ok, I'll admit this chapter might have been a bit boring, but I'll make up for it with the next chapter. Maybe we'll get to see what happened to Raditz? Well probably not actually...yet.
