Chapter Four

Return of Garlic Jr.

While Gohan and the others were waiting for Goku to return, there was a new threat. About six months before Goku came back there was a battle with a guy name Garlic Jr. It was a beautiful day and Gohan was out running around the forest, just fooling around. He was running by a lake when he got the idea to go swimming he started to fish like Goku had when he was a kid and still did. He had just got a nice size pile when he saw an old friend, Krillin.

"Hey Gohan what are you doing?" asked Krillin

"Just fishing." said Gohan

"Wow you and your dad are just alike in more than just your bloodline."

"Ha. Ha. Hey Krillin what's with the suit?" asked Gohan

"Well it's a long story, Gohan. But that's not the reason I came here. There's going to be a party at Master Roshi's Island and me Bulma, and my girlfriend-"

"You have a girlfriend? Asked Gohan surprised.

"Y-yeah. Anyway everyone's going to be there probably. Except for Vegeta, who hasn't gotten back yet. For some reason he's furious with Goku."

"Probably because dad went Super Saiyan before him."

"Huh?"

"Don't ask. Long story short, Frieza killed you Dad gotten enraged and went Super Saiyan." said Gohan

"Oh. Anyway do you think your mom will let you come?" asked Krillin

"I doubt it. But I'll try to be there."

"Alright see you later, Gohan." said Krillin

"See you." said Gohan as Krillin walked back to his car and his girlfriend waiting there beside it "I can't believe it. He finally did it. Krillin's finally got a girlfriend. Man now you have to get home Dad."

Later at Gohan's house Gohan was trying to convince his mother to let him go to the party at Roshi's house. However Chi-Chi wasn't going to budge and Gohan knew it. He knew his studies were first priority when it came to his mother and nothing he said was going to change her mind. "No Gohan you have studies."

"Please mom" begged Gohan

"No now get to your studies." said Chi-Chi

"Aw mom. I hate it. Your always making study I never get to go out anymore." said Gohan walking off causing his mother to stop doing the dishes and think.

'Trust me Gohan I hate making you miss seeing your friends but you need to make up for the time that you missed while on Namek. However he hardly does see Krillin and the others. I don't know maybe I should let him go.'

While Chi-Chi was thinking about let him go Gohan decided that he was going to go have fun with or without Chi-Chi's permission. So he called for a friendly dinosaur named Icarus. "Okay boy lets go. If mom won't let me go then I'll sneak out." said Gohan " I know this is wrong but I really just want to spend sometime with my friends." just then his uncle came up to his window and was going to ask the same thing as Krillin just to find Gohan sneaking out

"I take it your mother said no." said Millisar.

"Uh yeah."

"Well we had better go then. Trust me your more like your father than you realize."

"Huh?"

"Later. We need to go."

"Right."

During this time, an old rival of Kami's was out for revenge for what Gohan and the others did to him. Kami, who had noticed that the evil that was once in Piccolo's heart was gone, went to see him about becoming the next guardian. Piccolo turned him down but he told Kami to be cautious. He said that he had seen some disturbing images in his meditations. Kami thanked him and returned to the Lookout, by which time Garlic Jr. had captured Mr. Popo. He attacked Kami with his henchmen and captured him as well. He put them both in little jars. After he did that he released his Black Water Mist across the world. A mist that would make anyone or anything touched by it evil. Millisar Gohan and Icarus was able to dodge it by going into a crack in a mountain side, and it missed Krillin and Maron because they went underwater playing. When they came back up and went back to the island they saw that they were surrounded. When Gohan and Millisar arrived there Krillin and Maron were on the land and backed into a corner. And not only that but he saw that his mom was there.

"Mom what's up?"

"What's wrong Gohan?" asked Krillin

"Mom said couldn't come. So I snuck out."

"Oh."

They were having a tough time fighting they're friends even though Aldo had arrived and was helping them when Piccolo, who noticed something was wrong showed up. "Gohan! Krillin! Millisar! Get to the Lookout and find the Sacred Water." yelled Piccolo

"But what will that do?" asked Gohan.

"Just Go!" shouted Piccolo

"Alright!" and Gohan and Krillin took off.

So Millisar Gohan and Krillin went to the Lookout, after dropping Maron off at Korin's Tower, to get the Sacred Water. However when they got there they met someone at the Lookout and it wasn't Kami. It was Garlic Jr. Krillin and Gohan were fighting the Spice Boys when Piccolo and Aldo showed up. "Piccolo!" Gohan shouted happily. "Aldo!" but Millisar sensed there was something different about his friend. He tried reaching out to him through their minds but it didn't work and that had never happened before.

"Wait Gohan something's not right." said Millisar

"Huh?"

"Well the famous Piccolo is under my control." said Garlic Jr.

"What? No!" yelled Gohan

"Now Piccolo destroy these nuisances." said Garlic Jr. "Starting with the boy."

"Yes Garlic." said Piccolo in a strained voice.

"Piccolo no." said Gohan lowly.

"Forget it Gohan. He's not the Piccolo that you know" said Krillin

While Millisar fought with Aldo, Piccolo started to fight Gohan, who put up a good fight but Piccolo was too strong for him. Both Millisar and Gohan was beat but before Piccolo was about to deliver the final blow to Gohan, Garlic Jr. who said that they could finish Gohan off decided that he would like to destroy the rat himself. "Wait Piccolo I want to finish him after all."

"Well be my guest." said Piccolo smiling at Aldo and Krillin who had gotten 'infected' as well. Or so they thought. Suddenly he reached under Garlic's turban and grabbed Mr. Popo and Kami's bottles and tossed them to Krillin.

"What! I don't understand."

"I'm a demon, so your Black Water Mist has no affect on me." said Piccolo walking over to Gohan

"And it's not so easy to turn a pure blooded Saiyan." said Aldo walking over to his best friend Millisar and helping him up.

"What?"

"Gohan you alright?" asked Piccolo

"Yeah. I- I think so." said Gohan

While Gohan Millisar Aldo Piccolo and Krillin were fighting Garlic and the Spice Boys Kami and Mr. Popo went to get the Sacred Water to spread across the world. "How much further?" asked Kami

"We're nearly there." said Mr. Popo

Once they got there however Kami had to battle with the previous Guardians of the Earth while Mr. Popo delivered the Sacred Water to world, which meant whenever Kami or Piccolo would get hurt the other would fade out. There were also a couple of time were Gohan thought that Millisar Aldo Krillin or Piccolo had been killed by the Spice Boys and Garlic and he would power up exponentially. He killed the Spice Boys along with Krillin Millisar Aldo and Piccolo but when they started to face Garlic Jr. he opened the portal to the Dead Zone where he had escaped from before. Gohan threw a shield up to protect Millisar Aldo Piccolo and Krillin, and despite what Aldo Millisar Krillin and Piccolo said Gohan wouldn't take it down. Until Kami and Popo returned along with Piccolo's full power. After that Aldo Millisar Krillin and Piccolo left the shield leaving Gohan with nothing to protect so he took it down. Piccolo then shouted for him to blow up the Makyo Star which was what was giving Garlic his power. Gohan blew it up causing Garlic Jr. to fall back into the Dead Zone, and caused everyone and everything to go back to normal.

Piccolo left the Lookout, Aldo Krillin and Maron went back to Roshi's island and Gohan and Millisar went back to his house through his window. He explained to his uncle what had fully happened just before he had got there and Millisar told him that he if his mom asked him then he would tell her that he was there at the party but didn't see Gohan there. He had to admit Gohan and Krillin were really smart because Gohan told him that was the plan that they had made. They had made a plan if Chi-Chi asked Krillin if he had went to the party he would say no and Gohan was study hard like he had been studying the entire time. However just as Aldo Krillin and Maron got back to the island they saw Gohan and Millisar flying in.

"Hey Gohan I thought you couldn't be here." Krillin wondered

"Mom changed her mind. She said that as long as I study really hard later then I could come." said Gohan

"I'm glad you made it Gohan." said Krillin

"One question Krillin does anyone remember what happened? Mom's memory is shot."

"Nope and don't say anything." said Aldo

"Okay I won't but uh what about Maron?"

"Oh don't worry about her. She didn't even know I was fighting." said Krillin

"Oh Okay." said Gohan.
