Going to go boating. It's really hot where I am. Summer weather is the best.

Bardock POV

I got up from my lying position. I knew that they would be after me.

I ran as fast as I could. Salza was a genius he would be able to track me pretty easy.

As I ran by I saw Fasha.

"Fasha!" I yelled.

Fasha turned around and then she disappeared.

Fasha appeared in front of as I tried to stop. I ran into her as we tumbled.

"What are you doing? Get off." Fasha said angry.

"Sorry." I said as I got up.

"This is no time for games." Fasha told me.

I looked around as I saw that no one was pursuing us.

Fasha looked around also as she tried to look for any sign of attack. There was nothing.

"That's odd." I said as I turned back to Fasha.

"Yes it is." Fasha said agreeing with me.

"Those guys are familiar. Who are they?" Fasha asked me.

"They're Cooler's Armored Squad." I said answering her question.

"Cooler, right. Frieza's brother." Fasha said as she remembered.

"Aren't these guy's like elite or something?" Fasha asked.

"Yeah, they rank up there with Ginyu." I replied.

"Well then…this isn't the first time we went up against elites." Fasha said as she implied all of our missions we used to go on before planet Vegeta was destroyed.

"Yeah I guess you are right." I said to her.

"But we need to Goku, he maybe seriously hurt." I told Fasha.

"Alright" Fasha said as she nodded.

Both of us took off as we tried to find Goku.

Fasha POV

Both of us ran until it was getting dark.

Both of us set up camp as we decided to continue the search in the morning.

As I sat next to fire I began to hear really loud crashes. I turned and saw energy blast flying towards the ground.

"Genius eh?" I said as Bardock got back.

Bardock turned and saw all the lasers coming down. Bardock snorted as he sat next to me.

"Well I didn't say Salza knew how to use that big brain he has." Bardock said as he stared at the barrage.

"I just read it on a database." Bardock explained.

Rocks and rivers exploded, as the Squad didn't even try to aim.

Then a stray blast came at us.

I pushed Bardock out of the way as the blast hit. The blast kept on coming as I tried to avoid them.

A startled deer came out of the smoke and rammed me. I went backwards as both me and the animal fell to the ground.

I got up into the sky as a blast knocked me back down.

I fell on my face as I got up again. The pain in my back was great but I knew if we didn't get out of here we were dead.

I ran fast as I rolled out of the forest. Bardock soon came out after me.

Bardock's clothes were torn as I looked down I also saw that my clothes were torn. But our armor seemed to have taken the impact.

"Move!" Bardock yelled as he ran.

I followed Bardock as we soon came to a cave.

Both of us went in as the blast kept on going.

Then the blast stopped.

Obvioulsy Cooler's Armored Squadron didn't care who they hurt in the process of completing their mission.

As I looked outside I saw nothing but barren wasteland. The whole place was silent as all signs of life were whipped out.

"Opps. Uh did you think we over did it a little bit?" Doore asked his comrades.

"Yeah, but we may have a hard time finding there bodies." Salza replied.

With this silence I could here their conversation perfectly.

"Because they are probably in a million pieces!" Salza said cruelly.

The whole team laughed at Salza's cruel comment.

"We put it through the shredder." Neiz said talking about the landscape.

"No one could have survived that." Neiz said.

"Oh no." Cooler said as he joined the conversation.

"Lord Cooler." Doore said startled.

"Weak minds are easily deceived." Cooler said calling his own men 'weak minded.'

"They are alive and I want you to comb every inch of this place until you find them!" Cooler said sternly.

"Yes sir." The whole group replied.

"They can't hide forever they will come out sooner or later." Cooler said speaking the truth.

He was right; we would have to come out for food and water.

"I don't like these games anymore then you do." Cooler said not amused.

"I would rather just blow up this recede planet. But I'd rather see him die by my own hands…" Cooler said wanting to kill Goku himself.

"…And I will." Cooler said.

Soon after it was nighttime. I lay next to Bardock as I started to drift off to sleep.

"Bardock…" I said wearily.

"Yes." Bardock responded.

"Do you care about me?" I asked him.

"Of course I do." Bardock said back.

"I would do anything to protect you Fasha." Bardock said to me.

I cuddled next to Bardock as I knew I felt safe.

"I love you…" I said as I drifted into sleep.

Bardock POV

Soon Fasha was asleep in my arms. I was thinking about going to sleep but I knew that if I did we would both be vulnerable.

I heard someone fly by, as I obviously was one of the Armor Squadron members trying to look for us. I was listening to crickets churrp as I heard someone.

"Now" I heard someone say as I heard footsteps follow.

"Wait up." I heard another voice say.

I stood up, as I was careful not to wake up Fasha.

I heard a squawk as I heard a person say "Come on."

There was more squawking as I realized that it was dragon sounds.

I got up and walked out of the cave as I saw Krillin, Oolong and Icarus there.

"Tell us, is it Gohan?" Krillin said as he stood near collapsed rocks.

I walked up to them, as I needed to know what they were doing.

"In here?" Krillin questioned as knelt down next to a pile of rocks.

"Gohan…Gohan." Krillin called into the rocks.

I walked next them.

"Who's there?" Gohan responded back.

"Gohan! You guys okay?" Krillin asked.

"I'm fine but my dad is hurt pretty bad." Gohan told me.

Oh no, Goku.

"Is he in there with you?" Krillin asked.

"Yeah he's right next to me." Gohan said.

"Alright, hold on I'm coming." Krillin said as he reached for a rock.

I shot a blast at the rocks as I cleared a way.

Krillin jumped back as he didn't know I was there. Krillin turned around and faced me.

"Give me a little more warning next time?" Krillin said to me.

"Hehe sorry." I said rubbing the back of my head.

"Krillin my dad said that he's worried about the animals." Gohan said.

"Right" Krillin said as he nodded his head.

"You heard him." Krillin said looking at Oolong and Icarus.

Oolong and Icarus ran off into the forest as they checked.

"Uh fresh air." Goku said weakly.

"Thank you dad." Goku said to me.

"Are those animals doing okay?" Goku asked always thinking about others.

"Yeah I've got a search and rescue team on it." Krillin said turning around.

"They'll be fine." Krillin said turning back. Soon everyone was helping free animals. I didn't see a point to this but if it's waht my son wanted.

"Krillin!" Oolong screamed.

I turned around and saw a boulder rolling towards Oolong. Krillin rolled his eyes and shot a blast at the boulder. The boulder was easily destroyed.

Then I realized what he just did.

"You idiot!" I yelled at Krillin.

"Oh no." Krillin said realizing he alerted the enemy of our presence.

"Bingo!" I heard Neiz scream.

Damn it. Now we really are dead.

I looked at the sky as I saw a pterodactyl come out and almost run into Neiz.

"That thing nearly took my head off." Neiz said to himself.

Everyone was quiet, as we knew our lifes depended on it.

"Darn lizard. Must be what set off my scouter." Neiz said.

He's falling for it; he's falling for it.

Then Neiz fell away from out location. I took a sigh of relief. That was way too close.

"Alright you guys we need to move fast." Krillin said taking charge.

"Icarus, you and Gohan get to Korin to see if he has any Senzu beans." Krillin said to all of us.

Senzu beans would help right now.

"I'm going with Gohan." I said making up my mind.

"Okay then. I'll stay here. I'm going to hide with your dad. We are going to be sitting ducks until you get back." Krillin said.

"So don't waste any time." Krillin said to Gohan and me.

"Right" Gohan said as he ran away.

"And don't forget what we said about flying Gohan!" Krillin reminded him.

"Right, no flying." Gohan said.

"That's okay I got the Icarus express. Right boy?" Gohan said patting his pet.

"Best of luck you guys. Stay safe." Krillin said to Icarus, Gohan and I.

"Thanks don't worry we will be fine." Gohan said as him and I hopped onto Icarus' back.

"Oh yeah. Remember to stay at higher altitudes so they don't spot you." Krillin recommended.

"We are counting on you guys." Krillin said.

"Right" Gohan said as we all departed.

We took off high into the sky as I saw Salza pass.

"It's too dark. I can't see anything down there." Salza said not happy.

I guess he wasn't so smart after all. We were flying above him yet he didn't know we were there.

"Good. I don't think he saw us." Gohan said to us.

I smiled as I saw Salza's desperate face.

"Alright, lets go boy." Gohan said as we flew higher in the sky.

"Whew awesome Icarus I didn't know you could fly this fast." Gohan said amazed.

I had to admit I though this pet was useless.

But I guess I was wrong.

Now our team is divided. With Gohan, Bardock and Icarus taking to the sky our other part of the team protects Goku. Will Gohan be detected? Will Cooler's armor squadron find Goku? Will Korin have Senxu beans? Find out next time when the journey begins.
