The hardest part was not over, now it was time to retrieve the bodies. Everyone had met back at the area. Kakarot being quiet as she had found her older brother, Raditz, had overheard the last half of her and her mate's conversation. And yet she wasn't mad or upset at him for that. But now wasn't the time anyways, there were bodies to collect.

Bulma was devastated beyond belief as she watched Roshi and Raditz lift Yamcha's lifeless body. She felt so stupid for yelling at him the last time she saw him. If only she knew... she felt tears form in her eyes as she watched him be placed in a casket.

Raditz looked at her as he didn't know what to say or do. Sighing quietly as he watched the poor woman cry her heart out. 'Damnit!' He thought as he watched as Kakarot put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Where's Chaitzou's body?" Roshi asked looking around as he placed Tash's body carefully in the casket.

"... There isn't one. He sacrificed himself by exploding his own body," Krillin quietly explained as the caskets were brought carefully up into the capsule vehicle.

Silence filled the vehicle as they drove off. The sound of soft sniffles coming from Bulma as she drove the vehicle. 'We don't have any Dragon Balls... What do we do?'

Kakarot sat quietly in the back. Deep in her own thoughts as she was still processing everything as she glanced over at her daughter. She wanted to tell Gohan so badly... That Vegeta was her father. But knew if she spoke up now, it would lead to so many questions not just from her daughter, but from everyone else. Along with the conclusion jumping, and accusations that she had contacted Vegeta to come to Earth. So, for now she would keep quiet about it for the time being.

Raditz was also thinking as well. He was glad his little sister was alive once again, but yet they had lost many of their friends today. He knew with Piccolo gone the Dragon Balls no longer existed. Even though the green fool had sacrificed himself to keep Gohan safe... in doing so he forfeited any chances of bringing anyone back. That's when it hit him...

"There is a way to bring our friends back..." Raditz mumbled quietly making a couple of people look over at him.

"Raditz... What are you talking about?" Krillin asked raising his eyebrow at him.

"Did you forget Kami is Namekian?" Raditz asked as he looked everyone.

"But what does that mean exactly?" Gohan asked tilting her head a bit.

"It means he wasn't from Earth originally. He's from a planet called Namek and the Dragon Balls are based on ones from that planet meaning..." Raditz began slowly as his sister now figured it out.

"Meaning there are Dragon Balls on Namek that we could use..." Kakarot finished for him as a small smile was now forming on her face.

Bulma perked up almost instantly. "Wait... That means we can bring them back...?" She felt herself begin to smile as well.

"Exactly." Raditz nodded as he was smiling as well.

Smiles slowly began to form all around. The hope that they could bring their friends was running high. The thing was... how could they get to Namek? Then it hit Bulma herself.

"My dad still has that old ship that both you and Kakarot used to train off planet! With some major upgrades and such it should be ready to go." Bulma exclaimed happily as a small laugh came from her.

"Perfect! With your genius you should have fixed up in no time." Raditz laughed a tiny bit as a small blush had formed on the blue-haired beauty's cheeks.

I mean, she will admit Raditz had grown into quite a handsome man or Saiyan or whatever. They met under odd circumstances to say the least, him being hit by her vehicle, and being shot twice in the head. Even though they had a tendency in the past to butt heads, recently they slowly began to get along. It was odd really to say the least. It made Bulma feel a slight flutter in her chest, but yet she loved Yamcha... right?

As Bulma contemplated on this, Kakarot was also deep in thought as well. For her it was about the whole situation with her mate, Vegeta. Not only did she have to figure out how to tell everyone, excluding her brother, the truth eventually, but also her promise to him. Promising to stay here and stay safe with Gohan until he found a way to become this so called Super Saiyan and defeat the tyrant, Frieza. But yet if she stayed behind and let her brother go to Namek... She knew it wouldn't end well.

She had to make a choice, break her promise to her mate or keep it and risk losing more people she cared about. She would have time luckily as it would take some time to fix the ship up and such. Either way... Planet Namek here they come!

Boom!! I know folks have been waiting for this and here it is! As you can see we're about to make it to Planet Namek now! So, until next time on MU13
