Chika Son: Goku's Daughter

Chapter 27: Unexpected Problem

Krillin, Gohan, Chika and Dende were flying in the sky to head to Bulma's cave.

"Hey Krillin, I recognise this place."Gohan remarked. "I think we are getting close to the cave."

"Good cause I thought we were getting lost out here."Krillin commented.

"Bulma would be worried sick, if we don't come back."Chika joked.

"Yeah."Gohan chuckled.

Suddenly the three warriors sensed a high power level approaching.

"Great, someone is coming!"Krillin panicked. "We gotta hide guys, fast!"

Krillin grabbed Dende's hand causing Gohan and Chika to follow after him.

"Down there and hurry!"Krillin protested.

"Got it!"Gohan and Chika said in unison.

The Son twins, Krillin and Dende hide beside the rocks.

"Think these rocks are good enough?"Chika asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like we got a lot of cover here."Gohan said.

"Well, it's better than being up in the air."Krillin commented. "Just keep your powers low and hope that we are lucky."

Dende held onto Krillin in fear.

"Your worried that if it is that monster again?"Krillin asked. "Me too, but I don't think he will be able to find us down here, guys."

Not long after, Vegeta flew and appeared in the area where the group were previously.

"It looks like those three powers suddenly disappeared."Vegeta said with a frown. "But they were just here. I'm sure of it..."

"Oh no, look guys."Gohan whispered nervously.

The group carefully looked in the sky to see the source of the high power level is none other than Vegeta.

"Not him again."Chika mumbled in fear. "What are we going to do?"

When Vegeta turned his head, the four quickly dropped down and stood still.

"Great, it's Vegeta!"Krillin thought angrily. "Why would he be looking for us? And how can he even know that we are on this planet?"

Then Vegeta flew out of sight.

"It looks like his leaving."Gohan said.

"He wasn't wearing his scouter either."Krillin admitted. "I'm guessing that he doesn't know that we're here, kids."

"Hopefully his searching for something else."Chika stated.

"Maybe he learned how to sense powers level."Krillin complemented. "If he has we're screwed even if we push our power levels down to zero, he could still sense Dende."

Gohan and Chika grew worried hearing what Krillin just said.

Vegeta continued looking around.

"Was I mistaken? Is it because I'm not yet used to using this power sensing technique?"Vegeta questioned. "I shouldn't have destroyed my scouter. But I'm sensing a small power. It's no mistake this time. It's behind that rock."

Gohan gasped. "He's coming this way!"

Krillin, Gohan, Chika and Dende remained down as Vegeta was getting closer.

"lt's hopeless."Chika cried. "He's going to find us."

"Gohan, Chika, at this point, all we can do is fight."Krillin stated quietly. "At least we'll move him away from the kid."

Gohan and Chika frowned before nodding bravely.

When Vegeta closed in on the faint power level, a large fish emerged from the water.

"Damn."Vegeta scoffed. "Just a fish."

Krillin, Gohan and Chika remained hidden, but were ready to fight if Vegeta caught sight of them.

"I've wasted enough time chasing shadows."Vegeta stated firmly and smirked. "There are still two dragon balls waiting to be found. If I can just get one before Frieza and hide it, it'll be enough to stop him from completing his collection."

Then Vegeta flew out of sight causing the group to drop on the ground and sigh in relief.

"Too close."Krillin sighed.

"At least we are safe, thanks to that whale."Chika commented.

"I don't even want to think about what would've happen."Gohan admitted.

"Anyway I don't know about you two, but I don't want to wait around and see if he comes back."Krillin suggested. "Let's keep moving."

"Right."Gohan agreed.

"Okay."Chika said.

"The cave sounds pretty cosy, I'm beat."Krillin stated.

Krillin, Gohan, Chika and Dende began to carefully jump to head to Bulma's cave instead of flying in the sky.

Gohan and Chika held Dende's hands as they began to walk.

"Hey Gohan, Chika, I'm sorry that I got you both into this mess."Krillin apologised. "I think it wasn't the best idea to come here. I mean I wanna wish all our friends back to life. But if we compete with Vegeta, we're just going to get ourselves killed."

"So you think we should just give up?"Gohan asked.

Krillin nodded in response.

"But there must be another way."Chika argued.

"Hey look, there's the cave."Gohan responded.

Krillin, Chika and Dende see that Bulma's cave was right where they were.

"Oh yeah, good eye."Krillin said simply.

Krillin, Gohan, Chika and Dende went to the entrance of the cave.

"Bulma!"Gohan called out.

"It's us!"Chika announced. "We are back!"

There was no respond from inside the cave.

Huh? She's not here. I'm sure she's hiding deeper inside the cave.

"Maybe she went to the back or something."Krillin suggested. "I'll go check it out."

Krillin went inside the cave causing Gohan, Chika and Dende to follow after him.

"Bulma!"Krillin shouted. "Hey Bulma! Come on, come out, where ever you are! Hello?"

Krillin notice a capsule house not far from where he and the others were standing.

"A capsule house?"Gohan said.

"That is definitely from Bulma."Chika replied.

Then the door opened, revealing Bulma.

"Well it's about time you three came back!"Bulma snapped. "What took you guys so long?! I thought I was going to die from boredom!"

Gohan and Krillin chuckled awkwardly at each other.

"Must've been rough."Krillin joked.

"Hey, you should be happy that we are back safely."Chika reminded with a frown.

"Safe but late, bun head."Bulma insulted.

"Stop calling me that!"Chika snapped.

Bulma notice Dende hiding from behind a rock.

"Hey, what's with the little guy?"Bulma asked. "He is a Namekian, isn't he?"

"How about we go inside first and tell you the whole story?"Krillin suggested.

"Oh yeah!"Bulma remarked with a smile. "I have a lot to tell you, too! I just talked to my dad a while ago and guess what? He said Goku is on his way here to Namek! And brace yourselves, he'll be here at six days!"

Krillin, Gohan and Chika were silent at Bulma's news.

LYou see, apparently, my dad rebuilt the saiyan spaceship that Goku came in as a baby."Bulma explained. "What's more, he said that Goku was doing some incredible training inside and he'll be ready to take on the bad guys when he comes here."

Excited smiles grew on Krillin, Gohan and Chika's faces.

"Our dad is coming here!"Gohan cheered.

"That's awesome!"Chika giggles.

Dende looked at his companions in confusion.

"YEAH!"Krillin, Gohan and Chika laughed happily.

Gohan and Chika started dancing around with Dende in joy, knowing their father was heading to Namek to help them.

"I don't believe it!"Krillin remarked. "Goku is coming that means we still have a fighting chance!"

Meanwhile in Space...

Goku's ship collided with an asteroid, causing damage to the hull.

Worse, the ship had been slightly knocked off it's course and was now headed directly for a burning star, called the Alpha H-Z that looked similar to the sun.

Goku dons a space suit and following Dr. Brief's instructions, patches the damage to the hull.

However, Goku accidentally glued his boots to the ship and was unable to get back inside the ship in time to make the necessary course corrections.

With no other options remaining, Goku powers up and fires an enormous Kamehameha, propelling him away from the star.

"It looks like I'm finally saved."Goku stated with a smirk. "Now if I can just figure out how to get unstuck, I'll be all set!"

Impressed with the boost in strength training in a 20g environment has given him, Goku decided to go even heavier once he was back inside the ship.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
