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. **** Unfortunately a few days ago I realized that I had made a big mistake. I left out Krillin! And later that day I received a review from someone who noticed the same thing, I apologize and will squeeze him in the story some how. Again I apologize. Earlier lacking of him will be put into the longer version of The Showdown in the Heavens (Coming right after last chapter posted.)

* Now Shadow has agreed to aid the warriors in their skills of combat

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 Nine: The Return of Vegeta

(In space)

Vegeta was still drifting along in the dark of space, training to complete his goal, to defeat Kakorot. Yet ever since his side conversation with King Kai he had been unease.

"God damn this, I cannot concentrate! Why am I feeling this emotion? It can't be that I care for the earth is it? No, I will not turn into Karkorot! I will not be him. But where will I return if the earth is destroyed? Shit, I suppose that weakling will need my aid. Computer, turn the ship around head for earth.

(Back at Earth)

As shadow now prepares to train the others, the gang plans to group up completely so they head down to see an old friend (who is not stupid and I did not realize he was missing. Forgiveness please.) in the progress of heavy training.

"Man it has been awhile since I've seen this ocean. Hey look Gohan there it is Master Roshi's island. Go down real quick and see if Krillin is down there."

"Yeah I wanna see if he has improved." Gohan then rushed down to the island to search for his friend.

"Hey Master Roshi how you doing?"

"Hey Gohan, wow look at you, looking sharp man. What can I do for you?"

"Well I'm looking for Krillin, is he around here?"

"Oh boy, he left maybe a few hours ago for west city to catch up with Yamcha."

"Well how many hours ago did he leave?"

"Maybe six hours ago. I'm not sure."

"Well it only takes like half an hour to fly over there, how come we didn't see him when we left Yamcha like an hour ago?"

"Well that's a little weird, Krillin isn't that slow to fly."

"Oh no, I got a bad feeling about this." Gohan then took off back up to where his father waited.

"Hey, where's Krillin?"

"I don't know. Master Roshi said he left like six hours ago to west city."

"But he would have been there by the time we..lets go now!" They then took off to the path of West City to see if there were any disturbances along the way.

"I'm not liking how this is turning out Gohan. Look sharp, he could be somewhere around here." As they drew closer to the city, a small billow of smoke rose from a little forest just below their location.

"Dad, look down there, I'm not sure what it is but we have to check it out." They went down and found a crater in the ground. And climbing out of it was a slightly beaten Krillin with is jogging suit torn.

"Goku? Hey it's you guys, sorry I couldn't catch up with you." He then fell to his knees a little dazed and tired.

"Krillin, hey Krillin. He's unconscious, lets get him to the Capsule Corp." Goku and Gohan then rushed to the quarters of Capsule. (At Capsule Corp.)

"Hey, what happened to Krillin?"

"We found him about ten miles out of West City. I don't know what happened became unconscious when we found him."

"He you guys hush up he's waking." Dr. Briefs then supported Krillins back as Krillin attempted to sit up.

"Hey Krillin, how's it going?"

"Well to be blunt, I got my ass whooped."

"How did this happen, who did this?"

"Well I got your call Gohan, but I told you I wouldn't be able to go remember? Well a while afterwards, *(Time frame being approximately one day. Also Goku and the others had been on Moon Colony 005 for well over ten hours before Gurjal confronted them.)* I thought I would go back to Capsule Corp to wait for you guys. And on my way back, I was hit from behind by someone, I only got a brief glance but it was no one I have ever seen before."

"Krillin can you tell me what he looked like?"

"Well, he kind of looked like Piccolo but he wasn't green. He had a white bandana over his head. He had no eyebrows and he was with four other people. His eyes were red, red like fire."

"Gurjal!"

"He's here, you mean he's here on earth?"

"But why would he do that?" Gohan approached his father in fear.

"What do you think he wants?" Yamcha too was a bit shaken by this news.

"Well he did want to kill us for some reason, remember?"

"Oh yeah. We got to get Piccolo and Tien, tell them what this might mean."

"Uh guys, can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

"It's a long story Krillin. Are you up for some flying?"

"I think I have a few cracked bones but I think I'll manage."

"Great I'll tell you everything on the way there."Just then a huge space ship landed right in the lawn of Capsule Corp. The door began to open and the saiyan prince emerged.

"Vegeta, what the hell are you doing here?" Yamcha approached the saiyan with some sort of authority.

"Oh you pathetic human, please I don't have time for your cheap whining. Kakorot, it seems you have some problems killing a few shavocaians. I believe I can be to some assistance."

"So, you're really going to help us?"

"Not to do it for the good of all earth, I've had a score to settle with them ever since I was a child. This is my fight too so if you think I will simply be an aid, you have a lot to learn. I'm going to kill him and no one else."

"Oh, boy you have a lot to learn yourself Vegeta. Any way are you coming with us to the lookout?"

"Very well Kakorot." As they took off a gleam of hope was now shining bright.

(On the Moon Colonies)

"So Vion are you sure that was a person connected with the saiyan?"

"If my telekinesis didn't fail me, than I am very sure he was." Vion then sat back and began stroking his white beard and began to believe he was doing this for all the wrong reasons.

"Good, so now we should have gotten the saiyan's full attention. It should be a matter of time before we get to claim what it ours." The group began to laugh, all except for Vion.

"What is the matter Vion, all this joy not getting through your bald head? Haha, hey lighten up, these are good times." Vion simply sighed and continued to feast with the rest of the group and began putting aside the old code of honor.

"Realize this, soon we will have hour revenge. And any day I will have the saiyan's head on a pike for all the universe to see!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well hope Krillin fits in, and as mentioned back up top, earlier lacking of him will be in the longer version if the reviewers vote for its publication. Please review thank you.
