The Showdown in the Heavens Disclaimer: I do not own dbz it belongs to the brilliant mind of Akira Toriyama and funimation

Well this is my first story but I hope not my last I have had this concept in my head for years I just never typed it up well I hope you like it This chapter is PG-13- little bits violence some language Well yet another chapter to the ongoing saga also and yes as always please review I think this story's rating will be changing from time to time from R to PG- 13, then back to R, so please bare with me when it is changing.

*Well it appears that our heroes got their asses kicked, now in a desperate move to survive Goku left the Moon Colony Five to the five merciless shavocaians, whom now are conducting a plan to lure the gentle saiyan. Now without further interruption I give you the next chapter. This chapter is somewhat anti-climatic, so if you are those who hate conversation chapters, you will hate this chapter.

Thanks for the reviews they mean a lot, it tells me you're liking the story, and if you read this don't be lazy and leave w/out reviewing, please review thank you

Chapter Seven: Return to Kame's Lookout

As smoke rose from the ruins of Moon Colony Five, Goku, in a desperate move to escape, used instant transmission to return to Kame's lookout.

"O god, Goku what happened I thought you guys were dead!" Kame rushed to the aid of the severely injured men.

"Hey, Kame, how's it going for you?" Goku just smiled and dropped the others.

"What happened up there, tell me." Kame became anxious to know what went wrong.

"Well to be blunt, we got our asses whooped bad." Goku could not withstand to be on his feet so he then fell to his feet.

"Goku! Popo, go to Koren's tower, and get at least fifteen sensu beans for them. Go now and hurry!" Popo rushed off the ledge of the lookout and rushed down to the tower.

"Hey, Mr. Popo what's shaking?" Koren stared at the panicking Popo and went to calm him down.

"Popo stop moving, do you by any chance need some sensu beans?"

"Yes the others are injured at he lookout we need them right away!"

"Yeah like I thought, here you go. I had a feeling you might need these. A danger brewing in the horizon, and it seems, if not stopped quickly, this dark cloud might finally loom over the entire earth. Send my wishes and prayers to Goku and the others."

"Thank you Koren I will be sure to do so." Popo then raced back up to the lookout at his fastest speed.

"Kame, I have the beans!" Popo waved the bag in the air as he approached the men.

"Good now hand me three to give to Piccolo, and three for Gohan, and Yamcha. Goku, how many do you think you need?"

"I wasn't fighting as much as them so I think I just need one." Goku limped over to get the beans for his friends and himself.

"Here you go. Now wake up Gohan!" Goku slapped the side of his son's face to wake him.

"..OOWWW!! Dad, what did you do that for?" Finally Piccolo and Yamcha also came around, and woke up to be surprised that they were now on Earth.

"Goku, what happened, when did we get here? Did you stop the shavocaians?"

"Piccolo, sorry but I got you guys out of there, because we were not ready. All of us nearly were killed up there, and it was our only way to survive."

"So you're telling me that those, monsters are up there in the middle of a city, filled with people?" Yamcha awaited the answer in a nervous position.

"Yes, they're still up there." Goku then, tilted his head down in shame.

"What! You left them up there, with.innocent people? Why, why did you do that!" Piccolo then was flaring with anger imagining the horror those people were now facing.

"It's what I had to do Piccolo, in war sacrifices must be made." Goku seldom used the term war towards their enemies, but when he did that meant this was a truly serious situation. At that point all of their heads tilted downward in the defeat that they had just suffered.

"It seems to me you guys really gave it your all didn't you?" Kame stared at the spirit broken men to see an answer.

"Well Kame, yeah we did, at least I used everything I could muster at that particular time." Goku let out a big sigh of defeat.

"Well maybe it is time you men start learning new styles and techniques. Maybe what you need is a new teacher. Yes that is who you need." Kame then turned to them with a grin on his face. The others were not quite sure what he was getting at but there sure were listening to his every word.

"Shadow, he will teach you what you need to know." With that name said all were just confused. None have even heard of this Shadow, not even Piccolo.

"Um Kame, who's Shadow?" Goku approached the old namek with curiosity.

"Shadow has been around for as long as I can remember. I am what I am today because of him. He taught me how to separate my evil from my good."

"He taught you to split into two? Wow he sure must know a lot of techniques." Goku now became a bit excited to hear of someone so educated in the martial arts.

"Yes he does, but I have not heard of him nor seen him in over twenty five years, so I really do not know where he is."

"Wait, if you haven't head of him in years, doesn't that mean he might be dead? What's the point to find a dead guy." Yamcha then thought they were at another dead end.

"No, he is not dead, he cannot be. There has not been a battle so great to kill him. Plus he never ages, so most likely he is alive."

"But if he is so strong as you say he is shouldn't we of picked up his power level?" Gohan made a good point and all turned to Kame for the answer.

"Yes, Shadow his very skilled at keeping his power level to an almost dead level. That is one of his techniques to sneak up on one."

"This guys sounds great Kame. Are you sure we can find him?"

"Maybe, if he wants to be found. Hopefully he will see your pure hearts, and will realize that it is for the survival of earth."

"Well where was the last time you saw Shadow?"

"It was fifty miles west of West City, in the cold mountain ranges. He was usually living there when I trained."

"Great, that's where Tien should be too. Guys are you up to flying a little bit?" Goku turned to his friends for a sign of go.

"We're with you all the way Goku, whenever you say go, I'm off."

"Good. Thank you Kame I will not forget this."

"Don't waste time thanking me, just go before we run out of time!"

"Okay guys, let's go!" They then took off to the mountain beginning a time wasting search.
