A/N well here is another chapter for you guys I will be cutting out some of the fillers from the show. One other thing is that since Nappa is dead now this makes Vanera the oldest Saiyan alive as she was sixteen when planet Vegeta was destroyed. I do not own this story. I only own Vanera who is my OC. Once again I would like to thank 4Gohan4 for beta reading this chapter for me.

Chapter 14 Time heals all wounds
Krillin watched as Vegeta left without a trace. He just wanted him to get out of his sight. Krillin then turned his head and spotted Videl and Gohan, knocked out after both transforming from that ferocious Great Ape. Krillin strolled over Gohan and Videl looking at both of their tails. He then looked over to Vanera and Goku about what he should do about the new tails they had.
"Hey guys what should we do about their tails? We can't just leave them what if something makes them transform again!" Krillin told them both he was afraid of what would happen if they kept their tails.
Both Goku and Vanera could see how worried Krillin was about this but Goku couldn't decide this. Because Goku knew so little of his people and what he should do with Gohan's and Videl's tails.
Goku just looked over to Vanera. "Hey Vanera what do you think, after all Videl is your daughter?" Goku asked her.
Vanera only smiled at her daughter before she looked over to Goku. "I think we should let them decided if they want to keep them!" Vanera told the two of them.
"Krillin do you mind bring them over to us?" Goku asked his friend.
Krillin just nodded at him as he went over to where the two young fighters were sleeping. Krillin first took Videl over to Vanera as she could still hold her daughter he then went back for Gohan and took him over to Goku.
As for Yajirobe, he was talking to himself. "Hey how are you, Yajirobe? Yeah, I'm fine. Don't bother to give me a hand or anything I can get up," Yajirobe got up from his legs and wiped out the dust on his clothes.
"How-how are they?" Goku stammered. He cannot see Gohan from above.
"There just banged up, but mostly there just exhausted." Krillin explained with a smile.
"Transforming into a Great Ape is not as easy as it looks." Both Vanera and Goku chuckled softly.
Krillin took a glance at the skies as he heard a faint sound. Vanera, Yajirobe, and Goku heard it too. Above of the puffy clouds they noticed a flying vehicle.
Krillin thought it was another enemy. "Great, what is it now?"
Krillin had a smile as he saw somebody very familiar on that hovering vehicle. It was Master Roshi.
Master Roshi peeked out from the window and shouted at them happily. "Hey, how are you doing down there? Yajirobe, Krillin, Goku, Gohan. Oh and let's not forget about the girls!"
Goku gave a soft smile and so did everyone else. As the vehicle descended from the skies and landed on the ground, a loud, booming voice was heard. Most probably that was Chi-Chi. "Gohan what are you waiting for? My baby needs me open the door!"
Vanera just had a confused look on her face as she heard the woman. *Wow even I'm not that crazy when it comes to my angle!* She thought to herself.
As the door opened, they saw Chi-Chi flying out from the automobile and sprinted straight towards to the knocked-out Gohan with a worried and an angry look on her face.
All this time, her mind had been set about her son. "I'm coming, son. Mommy's here!"
Goku noticed her and expected for Chi-Chi to notice him. "Huh? Chi-Chi?"
"Hold on, Gohan!" As Chi-Chi was about a foot away from Goku, she leaped over him and snatched Gohan out from Krillin's hands. The irritating part was that she ignored Goku as if he wasn't there.
Krillin carelessly fell to the ground as Chi-Chi grabbed Gohan in her arms and pushed Krillin away.
Chi-Chi comforted Gohan. She almost began to cry. "Oh, Gohan its okay now. Mommy's over here. I promise I won't let anything happen to you again! Please Gohan, are you alright? Speak to mommy. Please, my baby please be alright!"
Krillin got up from the ground and asked the panicking mother about her injured husband. "Hey, Chi-Chi, I know you're pretty concerned about Gohan…but how about Goku right over there? He's been badly beaten up. I think you should-"
However, Chi-Chi didn't listen and continued to comfort Gohan. "My baby, what have those people done to you? What happened to you? I promise I won't let anything happen to you again! Oh Gohan!"
Chi-Chi held his own son closer to her arms and walked towards the flying vehicle so that she could take care of him as soon as possible from his wounds.
Krillin looked puzzled and confused, "Sheesh! It's like Goku is not even her husband."
Master Roshi and Bulma stood towards Goku and were concerned about his injuries.
"Are you alright, Goku?" Bulma asked with her hands clasped together.
"Easy, Bulma." Master Roshi calmed her down. "I'm sure he's just fine."
Goku apologized to his worried friends. "Sorry, Bulma I guess I can't be getting up for a while."
"That's alright. You've done enough for one day now." a white cat with a crutch approached them. Goku quickly recognized it was Master Korin.
Krillin then had to report the news about Bulma's beloved boyfriend, Yamcha. He approached her with uneasiness. "Hey, Bulma, I know it's kind of hard for you to believe, but Yamcha he didn't make it!"
Bulma turned her head to face Krillin and gave a sad, but happy smile also. She already knew that from the very start. She had seen everything through Fortune teller Baba's magic ball. "I know he fought bravely didn't he?"
Krillin was glad that he does not have to face the pressure again and the drama from Bulma. "Oh, then I guess know about Piccolo and Kami?"
Goku gave a disappointed look. "They're gone too and that means so are the Dragonballs! We won't be able to wish anyone back!"
Bulma knew that Piccolo died and the Dragonballs had vanished. She gripped her teeth and cried softly. Without the Dragonballs, then there was no hope reviving their friends back to life. "Shut up! I already know!"
"I'm so sorry, Bulma!" Krillin apologized.
"If only Piccolo and Kami had survived!" Master Roshi thought.
Yajirobe then came in. "Hey, I'm still here."
Bulma heard Yajirobe's voice and gripped her teeth real hard. She shouted at him for being such a lousy fighter. "Oh Yajirobe! Why didn't you do anything, you little pig? Why didn't you help them?"
"Hey, that's not true. I did help them!" Yajirobe defended.
"If only you were there, everybody would have survived 'till now. Why you weren't there when they needed your help? You're such a complete coward with no brain at all!" Bulma was filled with anger but full of sadness too. She started to cry and thousands of tears streamed on her face.
"Even that poor little girl's father was braver then you he saved her from that big Saiyan!" Bulma yelled. She then looked down to the woman holding a young tailed girl and Bulma knew that this was the man wife. And Bulma now felt guilty about what she said not even seeing her down there.
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot that he was your husband!" Bulma said regretting what she said knowing that she too lost some she loved.
Vanera just smiled. "It's alright and since only Krillin and Goku are the only ones who know my name I'm Vanera and this is Videl." She said with a smile.
Yajirobe growled with annoyance and defended his words while Bulma was not looking. "Rrrrrgghh! You should be thanking' me! I'm the one who cut off the tail of that Great Ape monster! Sheesh!"
Bulma decided to just ignore Yajirobe as she looked at Videl or more importantly her tail and she saw Gohan still had his too. "Hey Vanera you do know they have their tails right?" Bulma asked.
Vanera just smiled and nodded. "Yes I do Bulma I'm going to let her and Gohan decided if they want to keep them!" Vanera said looking at her daughter.
"Alright we need to get Goku and you to the hospital. We're all out of Senzu Beans." Korin said to them
At night, when it was dusk, Master Roshi and Yajirobe helped both Vanera and Goku get him into the vehicle since his body was really exhausted and his legs had been crushed into pieces. Bulma kept on crying and crying, thinking there was no hope left. Korin came along too. Chi-Chi, Gohan and Videl were already inside the automobile Krillin was the lat one to proceed inside.
Bulma whimpered and cried softly to herself. Master Roshi was the one piloting the vehicle. He then insisted Krillin to get their fallen friends. "Where are the others at, Krillin? We need to pick them up too."
"There. That's where we were fighting!" Krillin pointed at a direction where their friends got killed. After several seconds, Krillin spoke up to cut off the negative silence and say about this thought that had been going over his head.
"Hey, Bulma, um, I got something to tell you. I know it's hard to believe, but there's this thing that has been going all over my head now. While we were fighting the Saiyans, it seems they told us about something that we might have a chance to bring the others back to life," Krillin rubbed his hands together.
Of course, everyone was surprised. "What?"
Bulma stopped crying as she got curious. "What do you mean?"
"It's kind of shocking, but it's like a chance in a million." Krillin said.
Goku groaned in pain and said to Krillin. "Ngh! That's okay, Krillin. A chance in a million is better than nothing at all."
"Well it's sort of like this…eh?" Krillin began but realized they were there. "Hey, that's were Yamcha and the others are. How about let's talk later."
Bulma began to cry again. "Oh, Yamcha, my only one. He's dead."
"Hey, where's Chiaotzu?" Roshi wondered. "I thought we find him here."
Krillin nodded "He blew himself up he tried to save us. They gave it all they got."
Everybody was ready to go. Master Roshi was about to pilot the vehicle until Bulma volunteered to pilot it instead. "Let me fly this thing. It's okay…I'm alright now!"
Everybody inside the vehicle didn't talk. Everyone was thinking about the deaths of their fellow friends. Bulma's tears dripped on her face and on her hands. Krillin looked outside the he could do was remember all of the deaths that had happened to those tragic but noble memories ended, everyone was completely silent still. They didn't bother to say anything.
Not too long, both Videl and Gohan started to wake up from their deep slumber. Both young half Saiyans saw that they were in their mothers arms and the two were happy that this was all over.
Chi-Chi gasped in surprise and was relieved to see her son alright. "Gohan, you're awake!"
"Mommy, is that you?" Gohan asked since his vision was quite blurry.
Videl looked around to with a smile. "Mommy I'm happy that you're alright!" Videl said.
It wasn't long before the two noticed that they had their tails back both of them were happy to see it again. Both mothers just looked at their little ones with a smile it looked like they had already decided what they wanted to do.
"When did we grow are tails back mom?" Videl asked.
Vanera then started to tell the two what they had done to Vegeta both were shocked by this as they looked at their tails. "So Videl sweat heart it's up to you if you would like to keep your tails."
Both young half Saiyans looked at each of and nodded. "I think that we'll keep them since it helped us stop Vegeta!" Gohan said with a smile.
"Then where's Vegeta?" wondered Gohan since he didn't witness the rest of the battle. "What happened to him?"
Krillin thought this will be hard to explain but they had to tell truth. "Uh, oh well, we just—uh-let him get away…"
"What?" Gohan was surprised to hear that. How could they let a menacing Saiyan like Vegeta escape?
"How could you let that big bully get away?" Videl asked.
"Hey! Don't worry!" Krillin smiled nervously. He wanted Gohan and Videl to look at the bright side. "Most important thing is that we kicked that guy's butt and back to where he came from. Right?"
Gohan was satisfied with that answer though, he then wondered about his father. "But where's daddy? Where is he?"
"I'm here Gohan." Goku spoke to his son, "Your daddy's here."
Gohan turned around and noticed Goku smiling back at him. He's so relief that he's okay now. "Daddy, you're alright. Yeah!"
Yajirobe then asked Chi-Chi a question. "Hey, Chi-Chi, you do know that Goku's been nearly back from the dead and saved the whole world. Could you at least say hi to him? He's your husband, you know."
Chi-Chi snorted and showed some deep pride. She gave a grunt of frustration. "Humph. Why should I say hi to him? I have nothing to say to him right now. He nearly got our son killed in this whole situation!"
"But mom, the Saiyans we're going to conquer and destroy the Earth," Gohan explained to her.
"Why should I care if the whole universe would explode?" Chi-Chi asked and was still angry about her husband. "Goku should regret for putting our own son's life at risk. Humph!"
Gohan was quite afraid by her mother's words. Chi-Chi didn't bother to look at Goku. Yajirobe turned around and told his friend Goku. "Goku, your wife's crazy!"
Several minutes of silence again, Bulma wanted to get back to that subject Krillin was talking about a moment ago. "Hey, Krillin, what we're you going to tell us? About the Saiyans and what they said to you?"
"Huh? Oh! Okay." Krillin then sighed and tried to understand what the Saiyans said well.
"The way I understand it, well, the Saiyans found out what the Dragonballs are and wanted to use them to grant their wish. That's why they came to Earth. They were ready to kill all of us except they wanted Piccolo alive. The Saiyans think they need to convince him to tell them where the Dragonballs are."
"What really are you sure about Krillin?" Goku asked in curiosity since he wasn't there at that moment of the Saiyan battle. Everyone gasped and kept their ears opened.
"Yeah and the whole time they kept calling him a name they called him a Namek." Krillin said as everyone was shocked apart those who fought and already knew.
"I think this world called 'Planet Namek' is where they come from. No wonder why Piccolo looks different from the others. Both Piccolo and Kami are aliens!"
"Well, I always say they look funny looking." Yajirobe commented.
"So then we have to somehow go to Planet Namek and wish our friends back to life." Korin went to the conclusion.
"Yeah!" Gohan then became excited, "And if we wish Piccolo back to life, then Kami would be brought back too and the Dragonballs are usable again!"
"Now, now, Gohan, don't get too over excited." Chi-Chi told him.
"Yeah, Gohan's right. Since Piccolo and Kami are one, the Dragonballs will be usable once again," Krillin said with excitement.
"So does that mean we can wish my daddy back!" Videl said with hope in her eyes.
Gohan saw the hope that was deep in her eyes and he just smiled at her. "Yeah Videl there is a way to bring him back." Gohan said to her with a smile.
Videl then started to get tears in her eyes as she smiled. "Thank you Gohan!" She said as she cried that she would see her daddy again.
"Well, it's definitely worth a shot!" Roshi smiled. "Let's go to Planet Namek as soon as possible."
Korin nodded his head too, "Yeah, yeah."
Krillin made a huge fist. "Alright, Planet Namek here we come!"
But Bulma: was still sadder than ever. This lady of intelligence can pick up a major problem behind their conversation, "It's no use, guys." Everyone looked at her in curiosity.
"It's pointless. I wish it's simple as that, but the question is how are we supposed to get there?" Bulma asked everyone in and she got them all thinking, "We don't even have the slightest clue of where Namek is."
Goku gave a smile and believed there was a solution to this problem, "Hey, I think I'll be able to answer your question."
Goku concentrated and he tried to sense someone's energy high above in heaven. He spoke to his teacher. "King Kai? Can you hear me? Please listen we could really use your help right now."
King Kai instantly replied and was glad to help. (Oh Goku, sure, I could help you locate Planet Namek for you guys.) Everyone gasped in surprised and wondered who this voice was.
"Um am I hearing voices?" Roshi thought and patted his bald head, "Or is my old age finally catching up to me?"
Goku appreciated King Kai's help. "Thanks, King Kai. I know we can count on you. Now tell us where Planet Namek is. We're listening."
(Sure, but as long as I have my podium for a minute, let me congratulate you on the battle warfare. It seems that the Saiyans really have you guys on the ropes, but you all broke through,)King Kai congratulated them all.
"Yeah, I thought your techniques would be very effective, but man. I realized not even a Kaio-ken x4 attack would stop Vegeta that easily." Goku remembered that moment. Vegeta was able to endure a Kaio-ken x5 attack.
(Yes, and those were my best techniques too. Hope you can think of something before you have to face him again. I'm sorry, but I'm all out of tricks,)King Kai made an apology.
"Yeah, I was afraid you would say that. Maybe I shouldn't let him go," Goku started to regret himself.
(Only time would tell,)King Kai said.
At King Kai's planet, King Kai was standing at the edge of his planet, "Now let's see here."
King Kai picked up a tome and started to flip through the pages to locate Planet Namek from lists of names of different planets from around the galaxy, "Now where is it? I'm sure I have the coordinates of Planet Namek somewhere. Okay, let's see here."
Bubbles quite distracted King Kai by making monkey noises, telling him something.
King Kai read through the "N" list of planets. "Planet Nambo, Namchek, and Namchano-"
Since Bubbles was fooling around, King Kai struck him with a hammer on its head causing to have a huge lump. King Kai then continued to read. "-Namtengo, Namdan, ah yes!" Here it is!
King Kai then read the coordinates for this planet. He used his glasses since it was too tiny, "The coordinates is XW66. No, it's, 6383. Not that either, oh! It's 9045XY!"
When Bulma heard that, she was in complete shock as if she remembered something very important, "What? 9045XY? But that's…"
"What's the matter, Bulma? We know where it is now. That's good." Krillin told her.
"Hey, Master Roshi, can you take the wheel for me? I need to check out something for a minute!" Bulma said in such a hurry.
"You could at least say please," Roshi said.
Roshi took Bulma's place while Bulma calculated some numbers on a device with the given coordinates. She punched in the correct buttons King Kai told them where Planet Namek is. "Okay, 9045XY…" While Bulma calculated the numbers, King Kai told them a story about Planet Namek a long time ago.
(I remember hearing this a long time ago. Planet Namek was once a beautiful place. It was very much alike like the Earth. Lush of green with abundance of purified water, but that was long ago. A striking incident occurred causing the planet to change. The planet was devastated, but it recovered over time. Little by little, but I'm not sure if they're any survivors.)
"Then what are we going to do?" Krillin asked and then sighed in disappointment. If they were no survivors, then there was no use going there.
"I knew it," Yajirobe growled. "There's no such thing as Dragonballs anymore."
"But let's not give up hope yet," King Kai told the Z-warriors. "There's only one way that we can know for sure. I'll just have to feel it out."
King Kai used his sensitive antennas and tried to feel out Planet Namek's energy and see if there were any living creatures left still living, "Give me a moment… oh. There it is."
"What if this is true?" Korin asked everyone, "Then we might be able to explain why Kami was here on Earth. Yes, it must've been so long ago Kami couldn't even remember.
Perhaps his own people sent him here when Planet Namek's climate changed so then at least one of the races would survive," Korin made an excellent theory.
"So then if the Namekian's can create the Dragonballs then why didn't they use them in the first place to recover their planet back to normal? It's as easy as that." Yajirobe raised his hands in a questioning manner.
"No maybe they couldn't! The dragon is not all powerful we found out when we tried to destroy the Saiyans with the wish Shenron told us it wasn't possible. You see the Dragonballs are tied to the one who created them and they can not grant a wish go exceed their maker's power!" Roshi told them.
"Oh right!" Yajirobe slouched.
Korin purposely slapped Yajirobe on his face with his bushy tail. Yajirobe yelped, "YAW!"
"Hey, I thought I told you to shut up, stupid!" Korin shouted at him with annoyance.
King Kai then finally brought up the new about Planet Namek. It was good news though.
He felt creatures living in Namek. (Hey, you guys! I found the Namekian's. I could sense their energy and there are about a hundred of them alive and healthy still!) Everyone gasped in amazement.
Goku cheered for joy, "Wow! Amazing!"
"How's that good we're talking about a hundred Piccolos here that we would have to fight!" Yajirobe yelled.
"Namekian's are usually peaceful as nature like Kami. Piccolo was the extremely exceptionally for the mood," King Kai compared the rest of the Namekian's to Piccolo.
"You have to remember Piccolo was born here on Earth and during his formative years, he witnessed many violent great wars raging throughout the surface. So he's just as calm as he would have, but the evil is corrupting his mind badly." King Kai explained specifically.
"This is unbelievable. Now we can really wish our friends back to life and show Piccolo the good in people." Master Roshi said while Krillin laughed with joy.
"Just hold on you guys," Bulma halted everyone's excitement up; her voice loud and frustrated, "You just don't get it do you? How are we supposed to get to Planet Namek?"
"Is this a trick question?" Krillin asked sarcastically. "Come on, it's common sense. Just use a spaceship to get there. It's easy as that."
"Oh! Easy as that, is it?" Bulma scowled at them. "Well I got news for you."
Bulma then told them the results she calculated in her device. "I estimated how long it would take us for the trip using the best Capsule Corp ship available. And you want to take a wild guess of what I came up with?" Everyone stared at her quizzically and had no clue at all.
"What's that? No answers? Then let me show it to you. Look, the numbers don't lie!"
Bulma held up her device up close to Krillin's face, "Your little cruise to Namek is going to take us 4,339.2516 years. That's one way!"
*What should we do now, King Kai? Got any ideas?" Goku asked since there was another problem.
King Kai nervously tapped his fingers. "Huh? Oh well, no, I'm stuck on that one. You expect me to know everything?"
Krillin then smirked. There was a solution to this problem this time, "Alright, you caught us there, Bulma. It's impossible. But hypothetically speaking, ever thought about using the Saiyan spaceship?"
"There's an idea but where are we going to get one of those? I thought the Saiyans left earth?" Master Roshi said.
"Well Vegeta left but it looked like his ship was only big enough for one person. So there's no way that Nappa could squeeze in so he needs to have a ship on his own." Krillin said to them.
"That's right. My older brother, Raditz, had one too." Goku remembered but then recalled Gohan destroying it. "Though, heh, Gohan broke it."
Krillin then looked at Vanera. "What about you Vanera you must have one too?" Krillin asked.
Vanera just laughed at bit. "Well guys I kind of destroyed it when I got to earth!" She laughed once more.
"So we have to find one of these Saiyan spaceship and we'll get to Planet Namek in no time." Bulma concluded. "Now all we have to do is find it and get down to business."
Master Roshi held his crutch and said, "I bet the ship is where the Saiyans first landed somewhere in East city."
"Hey, I think I might have something that might help." Krillin took out a small device from his shirt, "I saw Vegeta punched in a few buttons and 'BOOM' the Saiyan spaceship landed right beside him. It's a remote control or something."
"Here, let me see," Bulma snatched the device away from Krillin and stared at it with serious eyes. Few seconds later, her face became happy and pretty hyper. She laughed with excitement. "Yes, pack your bags and strap yourselves in guys, 'cause we're going to Namek. We'll bring everybody back including Yamcha in no time!"
"Planet Namek here we come!" Everyone said in unison and laughed happily.
Goku laughed along too. "Alright, Piccolo will be brought back to life too." Gohan smiled and imagined seeing Piccolo's face again.
Gohan then looked over at Videl and smiled happy to see that she was happy knowing that everyone could be brought back to life.
The very next day at W-Kong Hospital, inside the patient room, Krillin, Gohan, Chi-Chi, Master Roshi, and Videl were standing and sitting patiently for their turn to get treated. The Z-fighters all were waiting for Goku and for the doctors to bandage his body with white, dressing cloth with medicine. But as the doctors treated his wounds, Goku cried out in deep, agonizing pain. Obviously, he had been in heavy combat yesterday. While Vanera who unlike Goku was crying in pain as he was being fixed up by the doctors luckily only her leg were injured and the rest of her body was fine apart from a few cuts.
"Aah! Argh! No, please! AUGH!" Goku screamed as he squirmed in bed and tried to fight off the burning ache.
Krillin's teeth were chattering. He wondered what kind of treatment he would get from the doctors. Would it be worse than Goku?
Gohan was pretty scared also. He held a Science Book on his hands to read and study. But he could not concentrate since he felt real concerned about his dad. He hid his face behind the book, hoping the screaming would stop.
"Gohan, you have to catch up with your work. Keep studying," Chi-Chi strictly told her son. He was getting behind from his lessons after this full year.
Gohan did what his mother commanded him to. He flipped through the pages until he heard his father cried out in pain again. Gohan held the book closer to him, trying to not let his own mother see his expression.
Unlike Gohan and Krillin who were so frightened of being next, Videl was being a brave little girl just like her parents told her to always be. Chi-Chi just smiled at the young girl as she saw her trying to calm Gohan down and telling everything would be alright.
Krillin's teeth chatter even more and gasped in fright. Master Roshi tried to calm him down. "I'm sure it's not really painful to you, Krillin."
Krillin shrugged his shoulders and felt a little better. Goku was the only one who needed special treatment. "Well, I guess so. I mean, it's just a check-up a guess."
Several nurses and one doctor were wrapping Goku's body with thousands of casts and bandages with effective medicine.
"What is this guy's problem? A little bandage won't hurt." One nurse said.
The treatment door opened and out came one of the nurses. "Next patient please."
"Let's go then guys!" Videl said all happy as she walked into the room.
Though Krillin and Gohan nervously backed off; they such made useless excuses; they wanted to get out of this hospital as soon as possible.
"Oh. Well, uh, I think I'm fine now. No need for check-ups. See ya!" Krillin fled away from the patient room.
Gohan nervously agreed and followed with Krillin also. "Hey, me too, I'm feeling all better now. Bye!"
Gohan tossed his Science Book on the floor. Master Roshi and Chi-Chi gotten very furious, "Rrrrrgghh…YOU COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!"
Roshi and Chi-Chi didn't have trouble chasing Gohan and Krillin. Gohan ended up on Chi-Chi's arms and Krillin ended up with Master Roshi carrying his back.
"Woah! Woah!" Gohan almost fell.
"Hey!" Krillin said.
"Come on, Gohan. You need a nurse to check you up." Chi-Chi firmly told him.
Several minutes later, inside the treatment area, Gohan and Videl were resting on a comfy cushion and bed and were giggling happily. Krillin can still stand up, talking with Goku. Chi-Chi's father was there and Korin was there also. Yajirobe sat on a chair with a few bandages on his arms and face. And for Goku, he was inside this machinery bed with his body wrapped in casts and had to stay for quite a while due to heavy combat with Vegeta. And Vanera had both her legs were in cast as well as her right arm.
"Well, the doctor said our wounds are not that harsh, so I guess we're pretty good after all!" Krillin laughed happily.
"Yeah, in no time we'll be better soon," believed Gohan.
"Lucky for you guys. I have to stay in this hospital for a few months," Goku laughed and complained a bit, "That's a bummer. I won't get to Planet Namek with you guys for a while."
"I'm still growing some Senzu Beans," Korin informed them, "When I grow some, I would give it to you immediately, Goku, alright?"
"Thanks Korin," Goku nodded.
"Well, I'm just glad everybody here is going to be alright!" Ox-King smiled.
Then a visitor came in the door. It was Bulma, "Hey guys, want to show you somethingt turn on the TV!"
Master Roshi examined her. There was a slight change in her fashion. "Hmm?"
Bulma had pretty, silky, long hairstyle. She wore a plain white shirt with words inscribed 'CAPSULE CORPORATION', and red, tight pants. Roshi observed her real closely.
"Hmm… …oh! It's Bulma. I thought it was some hot, new nurse!"
Bulma was fed up for Roshi going into his perversion side again. "Get a life, Master Roshi. Get serious in some situations!"
Bulma turned on the television and the channel was already set in the news reporter. The journalists were showing the Saiyan spaceship they found.
The reporter reported what he was seeing at this time. "I am now standing here beside what to be appear an alien spacecraft found on West City late at last night. For our safety, it's been placed inside this Isolation Chamber."
"It's the Saiyan spaceship." Krillin exclaimed.
Bulma nodded her head in excitement. "That's right."
"I can't see!" Goku strained his head to see what was going on.
"There was an extra spacecraft similar to this one though it automatically, mysteriously departed away."
"How are supposed to get it now?" Roshi asked. The spaceship was placed inside this isolation chamber, "It's locked inside."
But the genius Bulma knew what she was going to do, "No worries. I got the remote control for the Saiyan spaceship."
Krillin doubted a little. "Are you sure it's going to work?"
"I can work anything!" Bulma was really confident of her outstanding, intelligent engineering skills. "It's like my dad. All I have to do is punch in a few coordinates and let's observe this spaceship zoom off. Watch this."
Bulma pressed certain buttons and coordinates. "Okay, here it goes." The device's narrow screen showed pictures and symbols in Saiyan language.
"Watch what? I can't see anything. What's going on?" whined Goku, straining himself to see the television.
In the news, the Saiyan spaceship reacted to what Bulma just pressed on the remote control. It sparked up a little, showing electrification. And then…BOOM! It exploded.
"HUH?" everyone yelled.
"WHAT THE?" the reported had no clue where the sudden detonation came from, "It looks like the Saiyan spaceship exploded. It was some sort of a destruct mode!"
"What now? Did I do something wrong?" Bulma had gotten very panicky.
"Bulma please tell me you didn't hit the self-destruct button!" Vanera said to her worried that she hit that button.
"WHAT?" Bulma screamed in terror and fright at what Vanera just told her. "NO WAY! WHY? WHY WOULD IT SELF-DESTRUCT? NOW HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO REVIVE OUR FRIENDS BACK? WE'RE DOOMED!"
Krillin sighed sadly. "Oh great and that was the only way to get to Planet Namek."
A few minutes later, Bulma tried to come up with another plan. She walked back and forth with frustration, "Oh, come on, Bulma. Think! There should be some way. You're a genius! Think of something!"
"Calm down. You have to stay loose," Goku suggested to her. Calming down might generate some ideas in her head.
"I think Mr. Popo might help you. I guess," presumed Krillin.
Bulma was not familiar with that name however. "Who? Mr. Popo?"
"Hello." A soft voice suddenly spoke out from the blue.
Bulma slowly turned her head and saw a man floating out of the window she shrieked.
Krillin quickly recognized that man easily. "Hey, Mr. Popo, it's nice to meet you."
"Hello." Popo greeted again, "I heard you are looking for a spaceship." Everyone was surprised how he knew about their schemes and plans.
"Yeah, why do you ask? You don't have one do you?" Krillin asked.
"Maybe." Popo said with a blank-like expression.
"Who's that?" Roshi asked.
"That's Mr. Popo." Korin replied.
"Yeah, he's always with Kami all the time in the lookout. Kami have watched over this planet for years." Goku added more info.
"So you saying you've found a spaceship?" Krillin questioned with curiosity.
"Even though it's a spaceship, I'm not sure what it is." Popo doubted but remembered the spacecraft looked very strange and awkward looking. "But at time, I know that it's not from this planet. If you would mind, one of you can come with me and I'll escort you where it is."
Krillin laughed a little. He called on Bulma and Bulma nervously turned her head. She pointed to herself. "M-me?"
"Well, you're the only one who's the spaceship expert," Krillin said, assuming Bulma was one of the best scientists ever.
Bulma stared at Mr. Popo straight in the eyes. She was not sure if she could trust this person or not, "Oh."
"Huh?" Popo gave a look.
"Oh." Bulma continued to stare at him.
"OOH!" Bulma then backed off, a little bit scared of his weird appearance.
"What's wrong, Bulma?" asked Krillin.
Bulma stammered and shook, "I-I can't do it. That guy really gives me the creeps."
"But Bulma, please, you're the only one that can do this," pleaded Krillin.
"Okay, alright," Bulma climbed up on the windowpane gently and sparingly crawled onto Popo's magic, flying carpet. She held tightly on the blanket since she had a fear of heights.
"Take it easy, okay?" Bulma asked Popo a favour with her voice scared and uncertain. "I haven't ridden on a flying carpet before."
Popo understood completely. "Yes, of course. I understand."
"I hope this is just worth it." Bulma's teeth were chattering. And without moving the blanket, Popo and Bulma instantly disappeared without a trace.
