Chapter Three: Tragedy and an Unlike Union
-Gohan House: Night-
Mai sneaks to the front door of the house and peaks in through a window while Naomi stood away leaning on a tree watching.
In the kitchen Gohan stands over a stove fixing Rice and Teriyaki Chicken with Spiced Sushi.
"Goku will love these left over's when he comes home" Gohan said as he stares at the staff and smiles as he reaches over to grab it as Mai kicks in the door throwing two ninja stars as Gohan swings the staff and hits them both to opposite sides of the room as he holds his hand out in the "Bring It" fashion and moves his hand to suggest it.
"Come On!" Gohan said as Mai jumps at him but he skillfully moves to the side and kicks at her as she evades it with a small series of cartwheel.
Gohan jumps high and in mid-air swings the staff at her landing her right on top of the head chuckling as he does it.
"Amateurs never really learn" Gohan said as she runs at him throwing several attacks at him he blocks each one as if it was choreographed from a Martial Arts Movie as he ducks down and sweeps her legs out from under her and holds the staff at her throat.
"Why are you here?" Gohan said as Piccolo enters the house cloaked with the hood off.
"We want the Dragon Ball and we're looking for Kakarot" Piccolo said as Gohan jumps back to assume a fighting position.
"I know no Kakarot and the Dragon Ball is not with me it isn't here" Gohan said.
"Where is it then?" Piccolo said.
"You will not find out from me!" Gohan said.
"If you do not help us you will be destroyed!" Piccolo said.
"So be it, I will not allow a monster such as yourself to intrude on my property and try and steal items that belong to me or my Grandson" Gohan said as Piccolo looks at him confused.
"Was he born with a tail, your grandson?" Piccolo asked as Gohan nods.
"Yes, I cut it off him but he still has a piece of the fur from it in his back curled up, but why do you wish to know?" Gohan said.
"Where is he!?" Piccolo growled.
"You will not find out from me now leave my home at once!" Gohan said as Piccolo laughs as he launches a beam of pure energy from his eyes and through Gohan's heart yet no blood pours from it as Gohan falls over and Piccolo walks over and kneels by him.
"I will give you enough energy to survive long enough for Kakarot find you then after you tell him who was here you will die, got it!" Piccolo said as Gohan spits in his face "you're lucky old man that I need you if I hadn't you would have been dead the second I walked through the door."
Moments later Piccolo stands in front of the house his hood now up as he holds his hand up and opens it then snaps it shut and as he does a piece of the house collapses as he smiles.
"Kakarot will know I was here! Naomi stay here and search for the dragon ball" Piccolo said.
"Yes sir" Naomi said.
Later that Night Goku finds the wrecked house as Goku runs up to the wrecked hous to search for his grandpa.
"GRANDPA! GRANDPA! GRANDPA ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Goku yelled.
Goku enters the living room and there Gohan lies on the ground in pain and dying as Goku runs over to him and holds him in his arms. Gohan looks at him.
"Goku? Goku is that you?" Gohan weakly said as Goku nods.
"What happened Grandpa?" Goku asked.
"They came looking for you, I wouldn't tell them where you were, they were after you and the Dragon Balls, you can't let them get a hold of them you must find Master Roshi and you must collect all Seven Dragon Balls and save this world from evil you must Goku! You must!" Gohan said as Goku nods again.
"I will grandpa I promise I will" Goku said as Gohan closes his eyes.
"Goodbye my son" Gohan said.
"Goodbye Grandfather I will avenge you!" Goku said as Gohan passes in Goku's arms and Goku looks up to the sky and lets out a feral scream.
Reyoto rides in on his motor cycle as he jumps off throwing off his helmet and running to the wrecked house to find Goku hold his dead grandfather.
"Uh no" Reyoto said.
-Mount Paouz Forest: Close to morning-
Bulma rides through the woods on a futuristic three wheeled Motorcycle with the Capsule Corp Logo embedded on it as she halts to a stop an she pulls out the Capsule Corp Dragon-Ball-Energy detector.
"Hmm... twenty or thirty miles north and I find the next one" Bulma said as she revs the engine and takes off.
-Gohan Home-
Reyoto stood in front of Gohan grave as he let out a sigh and looked to the house as Goku collected what he needed as the wind blows past him and he picks up a scent as his eyes widen and quickly looked to the house.
Inside Goku walks through the rooms looking for things to take with him as he walks into Gohan's bed room and looks around he sees an old suit case as he grabs it and brings it into his room and sets the suit case on the bed and grabs the Dragon Ball Box from under his bed and he opens it up the Four-Star ball glows the stars inside it move around as hevsets it down on the bed and opens the suit case in it Gohan's old Turtle uniform from Master Roshi's school an Orange gi with blue pant legs folded up nicely as Goku picks up the orange gi.
Behind him Naomi slowly approached as Reyto ran up from behind.
"Oh no you don't!" Reyoto yelled kicking her out the window as she landed below and glared up and Reyoto as he jumped down.
"Reyoto!" Goku yelled.
"Hurry up and get what you need! I will handle her!" Reyoto said.
"Handle this!" Naomi yelled swing her leg to kick as he blocked and smirks.
"I knew there was another one close, tell me what are you after my fellow Saiyan?" Reyoto said.
"Saiyan? How do you know that name?" Naomi asked.
"Uh duh! I'm a Saiyan too you dumbass" Reyoto said.
"I'm not a dumbass! You ass! Look I have to follow Lord Piccolo orders or I'm dead" she said.
"Piccolo? A musical instrument?" Reyoto said.
"He calls himself that I don't know why but he's powerful, not even I can take him and he made me into one of his personal helpers because I'm a Saiyan Assassin" Naomi said.
"Not a very good one" Reyoto said.
"Oh bite me!" Naomi growled.
"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you?" Reyoto smirked.
"Piss off asshole" Naomi said.
"Bitch."
"Dick."
-Outside Gohan Wrecked Home-
Bulma rides up to the wrecked house and gets off her bike as she looks at the wreckage with fear in her eyes.
"Oh my god what could have happened to it?" she said as she walks over to a nap sack on her bike inside it the Six-Star Dragon Ball glows.
"It's near!" she said as she takes the keys out of the ignition of the Motorcycle and hits a button as the motorcycle begins to disassemble right in front of her eyes she looks at it proud as it transforms into a small capsule as she picks it up and puts it in her pocket as she turns and runs to the front door of the partly demolished house.
Inside Goku pack an all blue gi into a sack and packs his grandfather's gi and puts it in a suit case and puts it in a large gym bag putting the bow in a hole especially made for it.
Bulma walks around looking at the D.B.E following it she walks to the edge of a corner and draws her gun, Goku clings to the other side of the wall as Goku turns the corner and Bulma holds the gun in front of him and through instinct fires as Goku is flung back two feet landing through a door and onto the ground as Bulma snaps out of her fearful haze and runs over to Goku.
"Are you ok! Oh my god I am so sorry I am so sorry you just spooked me I am sorry!" Bulma said as Goku sits up and assumes a fighting position as he looks up and down at her trying to figure out a reason for the way she's dressed.
"Good god robbers sure have a funny way to dress!" Goku said as he looks at the D.B.E. in wonderment, "what the heck is that thing?"
Bulma looks down at the D.B.E. "This?" She said holding up the D.B.E. Goku nods as she chuckles finding it great for her to be able to show off her intelligence.
"This is the Capsule Corp Dragon Ball Energy detector, the D-B-E, or Dragon Radar that's what I call it" She smirks as Goku studies it.
"What do you want?" Goku asked as he eases up and slowly drops his fighting stance.
"I'm looking for my father's Dragon Ball, and I'm trying to save his company from bankruptcy" she said as Goku stands perfectly still and closes his eyes as he smiles and opens his eyes.
"I believe you, but I have a need for the Dragon Balls myself, I need to keep them away from someone dangerous" Goku said as Bulma nods knowing what Goku's saying. "There is an evil force trying to rule the earth my grandfather's dying wish was for me to find Master Roshi and for me to stop this evil force before it can get the Dragon Balls."
"Well we both need the Dragon Balls and you might not be able to find this Roshi guy alone why don't you come with me I have the D.B.E and with it we can find the Dragon Balls a lot faster plus I have transportation and I have Capsules so those could be useful?" Bulma said.
"Can you cook?" Goku asked.
"I can cook a bit ok-ish but I'm not a top chef" Bulma said as Goku shows a crooked smile.
"If you do all the cooking I'll help you find the Dragon Balls and carry the capsules and whatever else you want me to carry" Goku said as Bulma shows her own wicked smile.
"Ok" Bulma said as Goku walks into his room. Bulma waits patiently and Goku walks out of his room with his very very large gym bag on his back he walks to the door with ease as Bulma looks at it in horror.
"I...Is that your stuff that your taking?" Bulma asked.
"Well yeah everything I'm taking is necesary!" Goku said as Bulma almost faints to the thought of all of the things on Goku's back being necessary "well we might want to be leaving it'll be dark soon and we don't want to camp just a few miles from here!" Bulma nods in agreement.
"I didn't get you name, I'm Goku Son."
"Bulma Briefs."
"Yo Goku! What the hell was that gunshot noise?" Reyoto asked entering the room and spots Bulma, "who the hell are you?"
"Bulma this is Reyoto" Goku said.
"Hi" Bulma said.
"Hey?" Reyoto said glancing at Goku.
"She going to help me find the dragon balls" Goku said.
"You won't get anywhere without me" Reyoto said.
"Or an Assassin who know much about the evil after them as well" Naomi said entering the room.
"Why is she coming?" Goku asked.
"I convinced her to help us" Reyoto said.
"Yes I despise the jackass here but if we can stop that bastard I'm in" Naomi said.
-Outside Gohan Wrecked Home-
"So where's your ride?" Goku asked as Bulma pulls the capsule out of her pocket and sets it on the ground, she hits the button, as the capsule re-assembles the motorcycle.
"What do you think kid?" Bulma asked as Goku looks at it nonchalantly and unimpressed.
"Cool..." Goku said as Bulma jokingly gives him the evil eye.
"Come one let's go" Bulma said.
"Okay" Goku said.
"Neither of our rides will be able to hold all that up Goku" Reyoto said getting on his motorcycle as Naomi made a disgust look at Reyoto open seat and got onto Bulma ride.
Later that day in the Wasteland Goku runs behind Bulma's and Reyoto Motorcycles nearly catching up to them not even losing his breath.
"This is great exercise!" Goku laughs.
"You know what next stop I'm running to that does look like fun" Reyoto said.
-Forest Creek: Afternoon-
Piccolo floats above the beautiful creek. his eyes closing he meditates to the calmness of the area.-flash of the Seven Mystics-Piccolo's eyes tighten.-flash of Mutaito powering up-Piccolo's eyes tighten again and he lets out a grunt.-flash of Mutaito screaming "MA FU BA!" and a green wave of energy heads towards Piccolo!-Piccolo's eyes snap open and he lets out a monstrous scream and suddenly the entire creek explodes right in front of his eyes.
Piccolo's breathing gets a little heavy as he pops his neck and flies up to his ship as Piccolo lands on top of the deck and walks straight inside where Mai awaits him from the inside as Piccolo enters his throne room.
"What have we got on Kakarot's location?" he asked.
"Nothing yet my lord, our computers can't get a lock on his positioning!" Mai said as Piccolo grunts as he walks over to a white throne connected to the ceiling and the floor of the ship and sits.
"If you do not find him soon Mai, I will replace you with someone who will understand?!" Piccolo growled.
"Yes my lord!" Mai said.
"Good now leave me, I must train myself more!" Piccolo said.
"Yes my lord" Mai said as she exits the throne room as the doors slide shut.
-Wasteland Campsite: Night-
Goku sets up their camp carefully and skillfully as Reyoto brings back more wood for the fire.
"So what's your name?" Goku asked Naomi as she sat away from then leaning on a tree.
"Naomi, what about all you?"
"My name is Goku."
"Bulma."
"Reyoto" he said meeting her eyes as she looked away.
"Are you hungry you look like you haven't eaten all day" Bulma said as Goku's, Reyoto's and Naomi's stomachs growls.
Later that night Goku Reyoto and Naomi sits around the fire eating a small bowls of rice as Bulma looks shocked as she looks past them to see piles of plates stacking from the ground to the top of their heads completely empty all the food eaten.
Goku then stands up and stacks the bowl on the pile then burps as Reyoto stands up set's hos bowl on it and whacks Goku in the back of the head.
"That is rude and you should say 'excuse me' let it happen again and I'll beat your ass" Reyoto said.
"Oh, excuse me... well that wasn't much but it'll do for now!" Goku smiled as Bulma starts shacking as if she'd seen a monster.
"H...how could you still be hungry?" Bulma asked as Goku looks at her as if she was crazy for just saying that.
"I train a lot and burn a lot of fatty acids and stuff by the end of training I usually get hungrier' Goku said.
"Same here" Reyoto said.
"I could go for another round" Naomi said as Bulma's jaw drops and Goku runs off into the woods with Reyoto as Bulma runs after but stops in front of the trees.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?" Bulma asked.
"TO TRAIN WHERE ELSE!?" Goku said.
"Time to go" Reyoto said.
The very next morning Bulma exits her tent to see Goku and Reyoto up in front of the extinguished fire meditating while Naomi leaned against a tree and everything except Bulma's tent packed up she looks shocked.
"Wow! You cleaned everything up" Bulma said.
"Well my Grandfather always taught me to be nice and cleanup after myself instead of letting the host do it" Goku said.
"Sounds like a decent guy" Bulma said.
"He was...we better head off and find Master Roshi" Goku said.
"Do you even know where to find this Roshi guy?" Bulma asked as Goku nods.
"He should have an island out near South City it's a place called the Kame House" Goku said.
"Oh, well we better get moving then it could be a whole day's drive" Bulma said.
"Your right, let's go" Goku said.
