**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
Previously on Slave Soldier 2:
Gohan stared at the screen. His mind went completely blank for a moment as he could not comprehend what he saw there. His heart was beating quickly, his breathing shallow, his body shivering.
"Gohan?" Tobney whispered. He wasn't sure why he was whispering. It went automatically. His white irises and small blue pupils stared at his friend as he reached out a ghostly white hand to touch Gohan's shoulder.
Gohan turned to look at his friend. "How long?" His voice sounded hoarse so he cleared his throat and repeated his question. "How long, Tobney?"
"What do you mean?"
"How long have you been going to planet Earth behind my back?" Gohan asked.
Tobney pressed his lips together for a moment. "Since you joined our army." He answered truthfully.
**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
"Comora here." He stated after pressing on the button on his scouter that activated the call.
"How long until you arrive on planet earth?" Vegeta demanded as a greeting. The man tended to be blunt. Comora was used to it and always told himself he would at least greet his subordinates whenever he called them.
Comora checked the schedule on his laptop. "Three days, sir."
"Alright. A couple of hours before you leave for the planet, I want you to subdue Gohan and lock him up in the high-security cell." Vegeta stated.
Comora raised both his eyebrows as his arms lowered so that they were leaning on the desk. "What? I thought you wanted to allow him to go to the planet."
**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
Comora placed Gohan on the metal bed. The man studied the half-saiyan for a moment as he brushed some black hair from the young warrior's forehead. "I'm so sorry, Gohan." He whispered before he stood straight. The man fought the urge to stop as he turned and walked to the doorway of the cell. Kaon locked the door behind Comora. The three warriors were silent as they studied the young half-saiyan. A sensation of sadness floated around them as they realized the effects of what they just did. What they were about to do to the half-saiyan. The three warriors froze when they heard a loud voice.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Chapter 21. A Dream Come True.
What they didn't realize was that Tobney was roaming the ship on his own by now. Suno's problem was massaged away easily and, though Tobney promised to wait until Suno got back from the bathroom, he decided to go immediately. He wasn't really feeling like waiting for Suno.
The young warrior walked passed the control room and gave an unconcerned glance into the room. The man stopped a few feet past the doorway and he frowned as he turned back to walk to the room. Tobney saw something as he passed the room. The young warrior now came back to investigate it. He frowned as he looked up at one of the surveillance screens that showed the cells just in time to see how Comora locked the door to the high-security cell with Gohan in it.
Tobney frowned; he did not understand what was going on. "What the hell?"
The young warrior reached the detention centre in no-time. There he could feel his anger tightening his throat as he noticed Gohan's sleeping form on the bed in the high security cell.
"What the hell is going on here?" He demanded.
The three warriors froze in response to his voice. Kaon and Itoro both gasped when they noticed Tobney was standing in the doorway. Comora's mouth was open for a moment before he regained his composure. The man let out an annoyed groan as he stormed at the youngest warrior. He pushed Tobney out of the room. "Close the door." He hissed to Itoro.
Tobney stumbled into the hallway -followed closely by the rest. While Kaon closed the door behind them, he watched as Tobney stood up straight. "You weren't supposed to see this." Kaon stated.
"So… what… You guys figured I wouldn't notice Gohan is missing?" Tobney snarled as he placed his fists on his hips. "Are you serious?"
"We hoped we could distract you properly." Kaon responded quietly.
"So I would forget my best friend?" Tobney said again. "You were not planning on allowing Gohan to go to planet earth at all, were you? How could you guys? Gohan's going to be crushed if he wakes up and realizes we already visited his planet without him."
"There is nothing you can do about it." Comora responded. The man crossed his arms over each other as he glared at the younger warrior. "He will be asleep for a couple of hours. You get to choose. You either cooperate or we'll put a ki-bond on you."
Tobney frowned and for a moment the rest of the warriors thought he would resist. However, Tobney's expression changed and the young warrior put up his hands. "Fine. I see this is coming from lord high and mighty himself. It's out of my reach."
"This was my idea. I think Gohan is getting a little too big for his boots. He should be toned down." Comora stated, frowning.
"Right." Tobney snorted. "As if you could think of something so evil." He complained.
Comora groaned out loud. "Why does nobody here believe that?" He complained in return. "I am evil enough, guys. Maybe I am too nice on everyone here? Is that it?"
Kaon grinned innocently. "We just see right through your evil pretence." He teased lightly. "Let's get out of here before Gohan wakes up." The man took the lead and headed for the common room.
Itoro followed Kaon without saying anything. Tobney remained as he glanced at the door. The young warrior noticed that Comora was still standing there too and staring at him. Comora met Tobney's eyes and he made a gesture that Tobney could go first. Tobney made a face at him. Really? He didn't trust that Tobney wouldn't go in there and wake up Gohan? Smart man… Tobney rolled his eyes and followed the others as well.
Tobney noticed that Comora was not the only person in the squad who kept an eye on Tobney. For the next few hours, the rest of the squad was constantly around him. Suno even accompanied him when Tobney went to the bathroom. The young warrior wasn't sure whether to be annoyed that they didn't trust him or whether he should be glad that they figured he would be so loyal to Gohan.
The group stood in the control room not long later. Tobney leaned against the edge of the control panel as he contemplated how he could help Gohan. He wasn't going to let this happen. He would have to do something. He didn't care if he was going to end up being punished. Well, he did care a little bit but he cared more for his best friend.
"As you all know, the mission will be brief. I have a meeting with a couple of representatives concerning the solar energy trade. After that I will pick you guys up and we'll all go over to pick up the scientist. Everybody knows their part?" He asked as he looked around. The warriors all nodded to show that they understood. Tobney nodded as well. There was no reason to show hostility right now. Let them think he was going to obey them.
Comora approached Suno and whispered something to the man. Suno glanced in Tobney's direction and nodded. The young warrior could already guess what that was about. He frowned as he lowered his gaze. There had to be something he could do about this situation…
"Are you okay?" Suno asked as he appeared next to Tobney. The younger warrior hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings at all and was now rather shocked by Suno's sudden appearance.
Tobney shrugged. "You know the answer to that question." He stated in response. The young warrior looked to his comrade. "Suno, come on. There must be something we can do about this."
Suno's blue eyes were focused on the ground. His gray hand moved up to touch one of the spikes on his head. "You know how orders work, Tobney."
Tobney groaned in frustration as he turned around to lean on the control panel. A flash of a screen caught his eye and he looked up again to make sure he was seeing this right. One of the numerous screens in this control room showed the high-security cell. Tobney's eyes widened as he realized what he saw on the screen. Gohan was awake. The young half-saiyan was sitting on the bed with his face buried in his hands.
"He's awake." Tobney whispered.
Suno looked at his younger comrade and followed Tobney's line of sight. The man gasped out loud when he saw the screen Tobney was staring at. "WHAT? He should be asleep for at least another hour!"
Tobney suddenly turned and ran to the doorway. Suno reached out a hand to grab Tobney but he was too late. The man was silent as he stared at the empty doorway through which Tobney disappeared into the hallway. The man realized he should stop Tobney. He knew he had orders not to release Gohan but he felt so incredibly conflicted. He was torn between his loyalty to the army, to Vegeta, and the loyalty to his comrade. So, the man did not move. He did not stop Tobney. And an immense feeling of relief ran through his body as he realized he was not going to stop Tobney.
Tobney stormed into the dungeon. The man caught sight of Gohan – who was now sitting up and looking back at him in shock – and he ran closer to open the door. "Don't worry, Gohan. I'm going to get you out of this cell."
Gohan quickly ran his hands over the sensitive skin under his eyes to dry them. The younger warrior got up as he watched Tobney concentrate on the door. Tobney moved up his hands and aimed them at the keypad. The young warrior attempted to open the lock with his mind and his eyes quickly moved up to Gohan. "Don't worry. I'll get you out." He looked back to the lock for only a second as he focused his power before quickly looking over his shoulder to make sure nobody was standing in the doorway.
Tobney adjusted his hands and looked back to the lock. He looked up at Gohan. "Just a moment…" He looked at the keypad before looking down at his hands. "Why is this not working?" He whispered.
"Eye contact." Gohan stated suddenly. Tobney looked up at him. "Eye contact is the key to your power." He stated.
"How…" Tobney whispered before he shook his head and refocused on the keypad. This time he maintained eye-contact with the keypad and the lock unlocked within a few seconds. "How did you know?"
Gohan stepped through the open door. "Can we discuss that later?" He asked as he looked up at Tobney. "I just want to get out of here."
"Right." Tobney nodded. The two ran out the room and headed for the entrance room. However, the Suta Team blocked their way. Itoro, Suno and Kaon were standing in front of the entrance.
Tobney spread his arms and positioned himself in front of Gohan. The half-saiyan looked up at Tobney in response. "Stop. I'll take the blame. Just let Gohan go see his mother. Please."
Suno made a worried face. "Tobney…"
"Please. I've never asked you guys for anything. Please just let him go." Tobney added pleadingly.
"We're going to let you go." Itoro responded briefly.
"Please… What?" Tobney blinked as he lowered his arms.
"We agree." Itoro continued now that Tobney was listening. "We're so sorry, Gohan." He was now looking at Gohan. "We didn't want this to happen. We'll say we didn't lock you up properly."
Gohan began shaking his head. "You don't have to do…"
"Just go." Suno stated as he stepped aside to let them go. "Before Comora notices you're out."
The half-saiyan nodded and walked to the doorway. He stood still right before the closed door and moved up his hand to open it. However, his hand hovered in mid-air as he stared at the doorway. He was uncomfortably aware of his heartbeat as he considered what he was about to do. He was about to see his planet again… For the first time in years….
Itoro opened his mouth to urge Gohan to hurry up but Tobney held up his hand to silence him. The man shrugged impatiently. Tobney stepped closer to Gohan and placed a hand on his left shoulder as he stood at Gohan's right side –his arm loosely curling around Gohan's shoulders.
Tobney tilted his head forwards a little bit so that he could look at Gohan's face. "Are you ready?" He whispered.
Gohan met his eyes –his gaze showing the fear in his heart. What happened in all these years? What would he encounter on the other side of this door? Was planet earth still the same? Were the people he loved okay? Had his imagination made this planet so amazing in his thoughts that he was going to be disappointed by the real thing?
A squeeze in his shoulder from Tobney's hand brought him back to reality. Gohan nodded once and his palm pressed against the keypad. The door opened with a gentle sound effect and Gohan felt his heartbeat speed up as the sunlight glimpsed through the growing gap created by the doorway. Gohan felt the familiar rays on his skin. The blue sky greeted him first. The gentle white clouds interrupted the beautiful blueness. The young warrior's white boots touched the green grass.
The young warrior knelt down and touched the green grass. He ran his palm over the amazing texture. The young warrior bit his lip as he got up again and looked up at the sky. He saw a group of birds that flew in a V-shape across the blue sky. The sounds of the woods that he grew up in came rushing back to him as he heard them now.
"It's beautiful. I understand why you like the planet so much." Tobney stated quietly as he stood behind the younger warrior.
Gohan looked over his shoulder at the others. "Will you come with me?" He asked as he studied them. "Come meet my mother."
The group hesitated visibly. Tobney smiled cheerfully. "I'll definitely come along." He stated cheerfully. The young warrior looked to his comrades. "Come on, guys. Gohan met all your relatives. This makes it all come full circle."
"We're not too sure if the sight of us will comfort the mother." Suno stated as he stepped forwards.
Gohan turned to them fully. "My mother is used to strange people. Besides, I'd say I would look strange to the people on your planet. I definitely don't judge a book by its cover and that attitude must have come from somewhere, right?"
Itoro shrugged. "I would love to come along." He stated before he looked over at the others. "Why are you all even hesitating? We all know we would love to see the person responsible for creating that nightmare."
Gohan grinned in response. "Let's go then!" He beckoned for them to follow him and the group followed his orders.
The half-saiyan did not know how he knew where to go. He just did. As he flew he pointed out places he'd visited. He led the others to the clearing where he fought Vegeta all those years ago, through the woods he used to roam when he was a child and he even came across the city where he was when Vegeta kidnapped him.
Gohan floated in the air as he stared at the city. This was one of the last places he saw before he was recruited. The last few hours on this planet were spent on this school. Gohan remembered that Vegeta destroyed the building back then but it was rebuilt now and filled with human children.
The young warrior shook his head and started flying again. The others exchanged glances but they didn't say anything as they followed the younger warrior. Finally, Gohan stopped and glanced down to a small clearing.
Tobney stopped next to Gohan and he followed Gohan's line of sight down to the ground. His blue pupils lit up when he saw the small house. "This is your house!" He stated. He'd seen it in Gohan's memories. This exact picture.
"It is?" Itoro tilted his head sideways as his black eyes studied the house. "And this is what you were so eager to get back to?" Suno's gray elbow nudged Itoro after this comment while Tobney gave the man an annoyed glance.
"It's my house." Gohan responded quietly.
Kaon moved up his dark brown hand to press a button on his scouter. Beeps were heard as the scouter did its work. "Someone is in there." He stated casually.
Gohan nodded before he took a deep breath. "I guess I'd better go there." He stated. His voice shivered when the door opened and Chi-chi walked outside. The human was carrying a basket with clean laundry in it, planning on hanging it to dry.
"Is that your mother?" Itoro asked as he floated closer to Gohan. The others seemed entranced by the little figure.
"Yes, it is." Gohan couldn't suppress his joy as he flew closer to the ground in order to surprise his mother.
"Stop right there!" Comora was suddenly floating in front of the half-saiyan – forcing Gohan to stop flying if he didn't want to bump into the man. Gohan's eyes were wide as he stared at his squad leader.
**** Vegeta's Ship ****
Vegeta tapped on the keyboard with his finger. He wanted to write the email to Lord Kint but he couldn't focus. He wasn't sure what to write down. Gohan was much better at this. Where was that boy when Vegeta needed him?
The man let out a groan as leaned on the desk with his elbows and pressed his palms against his face. A knock on the door called his attention. "Come in." He stated before he lowered his hands.
The door opened and Sianna walked in. The young woman closed the door behind her and approached Vegeta. The prince of all Saiyans noticed that she didn't kneel down for him. "You need to learn how to bow to me." Vegeta stated once she was close enough.
"You need to learn that I will never do that, sir." Sianna responded just as easily.
Vegeta's gaze moved from Sianna's bright yellow eyes to her long brown hair and continued further down her body. What Gohan saw in this woman, he didn't know. The only attractive thing about her was the fire in her eyes. Her attitude was horrible. Her body was more bones than actual flesh as she was kept on a strict slave diet and her hair hadn't been washed in days since slaves could only wash once a week. The man would need to discuss Gohan's priorities. Then again, maybe Gohan liked having a woman who was hard to control. It posed a decent challenge.
Vegeta's dark eyes moved up to meet her gaze again. "I'll remember to tell Stirania to be harder on you."
Sianna's gaze hardened. Stirania was already hard enough on Sianna as it was. "I came to return this to you." She stated as she placed the key on the table. "I won't need it."
Vegeta's gaze dropped to the key before it moved up to Sianna again. "You're very certain of yourself."
"No, I just trust Gohan." Sianna stated in response. The young woman crossed her arms over each other. "He will take me as I am. I don't need to doll myself up for him."
Vegeta crossed his arms over each other as he leaned back on his seat. "Well then, maybe I'll find someone who will doll herself up for him."
Sianna frowned in response. "What are you saying?"
The Saiyan prince was now wearing an amused expression as he studied the young slave. "There are enough women who would love to be Gohan's mistress, trust me. If you don't want the part, I'll make sure someone else will."
"Go ahead." Sianna responded as she glared at the man. "Try him." She turned and started to walk away from the man.
Vegeta frowned at this blatant show of rebellion and he pressed a button on his computer. Stirania's voice rang out in the room and Sianna stopped walking to look over her shoulder at Vegeta. "Yes sir?" Stirania stated.
"Sianna barged into my office unannounced and started yelling at me here. I want to have her punished." Vegeta stated as he held eye-contact with the young slave.
"I will take care of it, sir." Stirania disconnected the line without saying anything else. It was something that only she could do.
A smirk appeared on Vegeta's face. "You'd better run." He advised when Sianna frowned at him. The young woman didn't respond as he walked calmly to the entrance and left the room. Vegeta was amused at her defiance, especially as he felt her power level spark as she started running in the hallway.
**** Planet Earth ****
"What the hell are you doing here, brat?" Comora snarled as he approached the younger warrior. Gohan floated back to create some distance. "You're supposed to be at the ship! You're supposed to be asleep! Why do you always have to disrupt everything?"
Gohan frowned in response to this statement. He knew he disobeyed Comora's orders. He knew he was probably going to pay for it all later. But for now all he wanted, all he could think about, was his mother.
"Go back to the ship!" Comora ordered as he pointed in a random direction behind Gohan.
"What?" Gohan gasped out as he floated back once more.
"Right now!"
"But my mother is right there!" Gohan pointed down to his mother. Comora turned to look at where he was pointing. The man let out a sigh as he looked down to the small house.
Comora looked back to Gohan. "Two hours." He stated as he moved up a hand and extended his index and middle finger. "I'll be picking you up here personally. Don't even think about running."
"I won't!" Gohan responded thankfully. The young warrior grinned widely now. "Thanks, Comora." He looked down to his mother and allowed his body to drop down. The young warrior landed elegantly on the ground and looked ahead at his mother.
Chi-chi already spotted him. He could see it by the way in which she was frozen, staring at him. A moment later the laundry basket fell to the ground as she let out a shriek. "Gohan!"
"Mom!" Gohan and Chi-chi ran at each other and they met in mid-run, throwing their arms around each other.
Tobney could feel something heavy in his throat as he watched. The need to hug his own mother was almost unbearable as he watched the reunion between Gohan and his mother. Tears sprung to his eyes without warning and he had to take a couple of steady breaths to calm his heartbeat down.
"Are you okay?" Suno muttered as he appeared next to Tobney.
"Fine." Tobney stated in response. "Let's go down." He focused his attention on the landing as he followed Gohan's example and allowed gravity to take his body over until his feet touched the ground.
Gohan and Chi-chi were just pulling out of the hug. Chi-chi noticed the other warriors and she frowned as went to stand in front of Gohan. "Who are you?" She demanded.
Gohan raised both his eyebrows as he looked from his mother to the other guys. "Mom, they're my friends."
"What?" Chi-chi looked at Gohan over her shoulder before she stepped back. "Oh. Really?"
"Yes, sort of." Gohan responded, shrugging. "Well, they're not my enemy right now."
The entire group had followed him to the ground. Only Comora left to do his business on this planet. Gohan introduced everyone to his mother. She seemed hesitant as she eyed the bulky warriors but since Gohan said they were alright, she seemed to accept that they were here.
Chi-chi looked back to her son and a sad expression appeared on her face. "You're so tall now." She stated. "I missed everything."
Gohan could feel tears springing to his eyes as she said this. "Mom. I missed you so much." He stated quietly.
"I missed you too, honey." She used her sleeve to dry her eyes. "Well, let's get all of you inside." She motioned to the doorway. "Go on. I have to grab the laundry."
"I'll help." Gohan offered as he walked to the fallen laundry. The others joined in and together they easily picked up all the laundry and brought the basket back inside with them. Chi-chi offered to make them something to eat but they all declined. They didn't want to create extra work for her.
Chi-chi insisted that she made them some tea and the rest of the guys all shrugged good-naturedly as they walked around the house. Gohan headed for his old bedroom. The young warrior opened the door and looked around in the small room. The room was nothing compared to the room he slept in on Vegeta's ship but he immediately felt more at home in this room than he ever felt on Vegeta's ship.
"Great room." Tobney stated as he appeared behind Gohan.
"Small."
"Cozy." Tobney countered easily. "It has character."
"It was mine." Gohan said as he looked around. The young warrior sat down on the bed and looked over at Tobney.
"It still is." Tobney said as he looked around too. "You could ask Vegeta if you could spend your vacations here."
Gohan shrugged. "If I return to the army."
Tobney pressed his lips together. "You know you have to." He said quietly. Gohan looked up at him for a moment before he looked down again. "He won't let you go, Gohan."
"I know." Gohan didn't look at Tobney as he said this. "I was just…. Wishful thinking…"
"Do you two want some tea?" Chi-chi asked as she appeared in the doorway with a plate with two cups on it.
Tobney smiled as he accepted a cup and he thanked her. Chi-chi gave the last one to Gohan before she placed the plate on the desk. "So, you two are friends?"
"Occasionally." Tobney joked cheerfully.
"When we feel like it." Gohan added automatically. They were way too accustomed to each other.
Chi-chi smiled in response. "It's good to know you have friends in that… place."
Gohan returned the smile. "I'm not unhappy, mom. I'm actually doing quite well." He stated in return. "I wish I could take you with me."
Chi-chi walked closer to him. "Why can't you stay here?" She suggested.
Gohan lowered his gaze, unable to meet his mother's eyes right now. Tobney decided to take the bullet here. "He can't. Our leader won't allow it."
"I can only stay here for a few hours." Gohan added; his gaze still lowered to the ground.
"Vegeta?" Chi-chi guessed as she looked from Gohan to Tobney and back. "He's the one who took you, isn't he? He was responsible for the alien invasion, wasn't he?"
Gohan looked up now. "Alien invasion? What?"
Chi-chi shook her head as she sat down on the bed too. "Ask him when you return to him. I don't want to talk about these stupid things right now. I want to know all about your life in space. Tell me everything."
"I'll go see what the others are doing." Tobney stated as he indicated to the doorway. Gohan and Chi-chi smiled at him in response, acknowledging his departure. The young warrior headed to the living room where the others were.
Itoro was sipping from his tea. "This is extraordinary." He stated thoughtfully as he stared at his tea. "We should take some."
"Ask if you can take some." Tobney corrected as he gave his friend a pointed look.
The man shrugged. "Yeah, well, I'm so used to taking things without asking."
Tobney couldn't help but smile as he walked to the couch and sat down. Suno returned the boy's smile. "Do you think we can make Gohan's mother a little Gohan?"
Suno made a thoughtful face. "I think we can. The stuff is on the ship though. We'll need to go there real quick."
"Let's go." Tobney got up and gave Suno an expectant look. Suno nodded and followed Tobney's example.
The two hours were over so fast that Gohan could hardly believe it. Within no time, Comora was standing at the doorway. Gohan and Chi-chi spend most of the two hours just talking, taking each other through their lives until now.
Gohan introduced Chi-chi to Comora as well. Chi-chi looked at the tall man and Comora noticed that she didn't seem scared of him at all. Apparently, Gohan didn't necessarily get his courage from his father only. "Comora?" Chi-chi stated, waiting for Comora to confirm her question. "Why can't you let Gohan stay here?"
"It's not my decision to make, Madam." Comora responded without showing any emotions. "Gohan wasn't even allowed to be here. He just got lucky."
Gohan had actually forgotten that he disobeyed Comora's and Vegeta's orders just a few hours ago. He realized he would have to face the consequences of that soon. The young warrior turned to his mother. "I'll try to get back soon. I'll make sure it won't take me another six years to visit you."
Chi-chi smiled. "Good. I will wait for you here." She responded.
"Please go on with your life though." Gohan said as he studied his mother. "I don't want you to be alone."
"I'm not alone." Chi-chi responded. "But we'll discuss that next time you come here. It will give you a reason to come back."
"That's a deal." Gohan grinned. He'd given Chi-chi a scouter in secret so that he would be able to contact her whenever he wanted. The young warrior told her this was supposed to stay a secret and she was playing along now. He was proud of her.
"Let's go." Comora stated strictly.
Chi-chi gave Gohan a last tight hug. The young warrior pushed his tears back. He'd been crying all day. It was horrible. The two finally parted and Gohan felt like his insides were made of heavy stone as he stepped back.
The young warrior kept looking at his mother as he flew up and followed the others. A part of him wanted to stay. He really wanted to stay. He wanted to stay here on planet Earth. Why couldn't he just stay here on planet earth? He knew he didn't have a choice. The young warrior gave one last wave and Chi-chi waved back at him. The young warrior finally turned away from the small house he grew up in. He couldn't help the tears that silently fell down his face. He refused to give in to the sobs.
The rest of the crew didn't look at him as they flew and he was thankful for it. He needed the entire flight back to the ship to calm himself down. Once they arrived he kept his gaze lowered as he walked to the bathroom. The rest of the crew didn't say anything. They left him alone. The young warrior splashed some water in his face. He would have to get himself together soon.
Back in the small house, Chi-chi was crying as she walked in the silent living room. She sat down at the table and hid her face behind her hands as she let the tears go. After a small bit, she lowered her hands and realized a small package was standing on the table. She frowned thoughtfully and reached out to grab it.
After unpacking it she realized it was a small glass orb and inside was a miniature figure of Gohan. The seventeen-year-old Gohan smiled and waved at Chi-chi. The mother could feel her lower lip tremble as tears sprung to her eyes again. This time, however, the tears were not because of sadness but because of happiness that she had seen her son again and now she had something to remember him by while he was away.
**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
Gohan was planning on talking to Comora about whatever Comora did on planet Earth. Now that he knew Vegeta's army had a connection to planet earth he wanted to know what the army did on planet earth. He also wanted to clarify what Chi-chi meant when she spoke about the alien invasion.
Comora was in the dungeon so Gohan headed down there again in order to talk to the man. The young warrior wasn't even in the dungeon for very long when a voice he hadn't heard in a long time reached out to him.
"Gohan?"
Gohan turned to where the voice came from and he could feel his mouth falling open when he realized who was in the room with him.
**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
Until next time!
