Here we are again. I have had a little negative commentary regarding this story so far. Constructive criticism is always appreciated but please do not insult the story just because Son Goku has died. I once again remind you this story will chronicle the events on what could have possibly happened if Son Goku did NOT defeat Freeza.

Revenge

Chapter Three

3 months had passed. Piccolo and Gohan had trained at a vigorous pace, stopping only to eat and sleep. Vegeta had yet to be seen, but both Gohan and Piccolo had felt his KI steadily rise and knew that he was training just as hard as they were.....

"Masenkou!!" A blast of energy flew from Gohan's hands at Piccolo. Piccolo countered with a Makankousappo blast. The two energy blasts collided and fought heavily to overwhelm the other. Gohan was steadily driven back, and knew he would lose this contest of power if he didn't do something. Concentrating, his thoughts turned to his father, dead at the hands of an enemy he himself would be facing soon enough. Rage slowly wound itself into Gohan's thoughts. Summoning all the power he could manifest he yelled, "Haaaaaaa!!!"

A new wave of energy flew from Gohan's outstretched hands into his original blast, doubling the size of it. Piccolo's blast was devoured by the sheer mass of energy coming towards him. "Nani!" Piccolo yelled and threw himself out of the way at the last second. The blast struck the mountain he had been standing on a second earlier, and completely destroyed it. Piccolo was blown away by the force of the blast.

Piccolo stood up, and in anger teleported behind Gohan, who was breathing hard. Before Gohan had time to react Piccolo hit him with a double axe-handle right at the base of the neck. Gohan fell hard to the ground, nearly unconscious.

Where does that boy get so much power, Piccolo wondered. Floating down he landed beside Gohan and said, "That's enough for today, let's get some rest."

Gohan turned his head toward Piccolo and said, "No Piccolo-san, if I am to have any chance against Freeza I must become stronger. Please continue the session."

Piccolo, impressed by the boy's intestinal fortitude, smiled and nodded.

Kuririn flew at Yamucha, trying his best to get the upper hand in their sparring session. Yamucha threw a punch, which Kuririn ducked, and they started throwing punches and kicks at each other. Seeing an opening, Kuririn managed to punch Yamucha in the stomach, followed by a knee to the face. Yamucha stumbled back, and threw an energy blast at Kuririn. Surprised by the blast, Kuririn caught it full force and landed heavily on his back.

"That was dirty, Yamucha!" Kurirn proclaimed, beaming at his friend.

"Do you think Freeza's guys will fight any different against us?" Yamucha asked with a knowing smile.

Kuririn nodded, he had fought Freeza's minions before, and knew exactly what to expect. Angered at himself for being caught by surprise, Kuririn wished once again that Goku had been wished back to life before him. But, he knew that Yamucha, Tenshinhan, and Chausu could never be ressurrected if Goku was wished back now.

Might as well make the most of it, Kuririn thought. Although I would rather not die again....

Kuririn's thought were cut off as Yamucha attacked again. Yamucha caught him with an uppercut to the chin, which knocked Kuririn into awareness. Ducking a second punch, Kuririn sweeped Yamucha's legs and catapulted himself onto Yamucha, driving his knees into Yamucha's stomach. Yamucha groaned as all the air left his lungs, but managed to throw Kuririn off of him. Kuririn landed on his feet and went into his stance. Yamucha grinned and prepared himself.

Tenshinhan closed his eyes and summoned all of his KI into a single dot. Extending his finger he pointed it at Chausu, who sat 50 feet away with an apple sitting on his head. Chausu gulped and said, "Good luck Ten-san."

Knowing he was putting his friend's life at risk, Ten envisioned Chausu sitting in his mind, and focused on the apple. With his eyes still shut, he yelled, "Dodon-pa!"

The single blast flew from his finger at a horrendous speed. Chausu winced and shut his eyes. He felt the blast go right over his head. Opening his eyes, thinking Ten had missed, Chausu was surprised to feel two halves of an apple fall into his lap.

"Way to go Ten-san!!" Chausu yelled, happy for his friend.

Ten smiled and said, "Ready for the next one?"

Chausu's grin abruptly dropped.
