NOTE: This chapter takes place in the Draco dimension, and it has been about two days since anyone has seen Gohan.
Chapter 5: I Found Him!
"Piccolo, have you seen Gohan?" Goku inquired in a concerned way. His gaze seemed to be going in many directions at once as he was still trying to locate his oldest son.
"No, I haven't seen him. I think we should check at the Lookout." he replied. The saiya-jin nodded and followed his fellow warrior to the top of Korin Tower.
"AHH, oh, it's you." Mr. Popo cried. He hadn't been expecting them to come to the Lookout.
"Gohan is missing. We were hoping that someone or something here could help us find him." Goku explained.
"This way." the genie commanded as he walked off. The two followed him through the maze of halls and to a room that had a large basin in its center. "This is the Pool of Dimensions. Tell it who you are looking for, and it will find him."
They told the pool that they were looking for Son Gohan. The water instantly started swirling, first clockwise then counter-clockwise. The image that appeared in the water was of a small farm. There were two young adults leaning up against the fence that surrounded a herd of horses. Then a conversation came over to them.
The image disappeared very suddenly, almost as though someone had figured out how to block interdimensional signals. "The one you are searching for is in a dimension known as Orion. The girl with him is called Echo. She doesn't belong there as she is a saiya-jin. Bring her back to her rightful home." then the voice of the pool fell silent.
Goku and Piccolo looked to each other. They knew what they had to do. The two warriors left the lookout, heading for the last location where they knew Gohan had been. A swirling vortex appeared in the sky. The suction pulled them right into the center. "Nani?" they both cried.
Goku and Piccolo landed harshly in a wooded area. The Namek saw his saiya-jin friend sitting in a creek. The warrior stood up, shedding the water as easily as one would pull off a shirt. They cast out their ki sense. "He's ten miles to the east. We should get going." Goku declared.
His friend nodded and they shot into the sky. I hope that the other saiya-jin we are supposed to bring back isn't going to be like any of the others we have run into before. If so, then she might be more danger than she's worth. Piccolo mused silently. Land flew below them in a blur, a blur in which the colors were not easily distinguished. Still, he knew they had to find Gohan and if she was with him and knew the truth she would have to leave the only home she'd ever known.
It wouldn't be easy on her, plus the fact that it seemed she knew not of her heritage. Such knowledge would be hard for her to accept. They continued onwards to the area they felt the ki. There was another, darker power nearby; one that was unwilling to blow its cover in the midst of so many people.
