Chapter 5

Radditz stood in the shadows of the med center, watching Gohan emerge from his med unit. As he stood there drying off and putting on his armor, Radditz did a scouter check… 5,000! THE KID WAS AT 5,000! Radditz was shocked. Nappa is only at 4,000. The kid was stronger then Nappa. Radditz smiled, the next training session should be interesting. But as Radditz turned and left, his mind went to his greatest problem. How could he become stronger?



Karin led the group beneath the ship. "To get in you have to say the password, since this trip is for Goku, me and Popo made the password 'Goku'." The ship's door lowered with the speaking of the word. Everyone got onto the landing platform, "Goku," and they were in the ship. Karin explained to Bulma how to fly the ship, while the others explored it. When they were done, they all gathered in the main part to say good bye to Karin and Popo.

"Now remember, if you can bring back Piccolo do so. If Piccolo comes back then Kami will come back and so will the Dragon Balls. If that happens we'll wish Goku back from here."

"We will, don't worry."

"See ya later!"

"Bye!"

Karin and Popo left the ship. They ran a few feet away and watched the ship take off. "Well Popo, they're off. Let's just hope they can succeed."



Radditz approached Nappa and Vegeta before the day's training. "Ah, good, you're here Radditz. I was planning on going out to Cheskun while Nappa was training. You're going to go with me."

"Thank you for the chance, but I think we should watch this training session. It could prove interesting."

Nappa looked skeptical and Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, and why is that?"

"Have either of you two done a scouter check on him?" Vegeta and Nappa both shook their head. "It's at 3,500. Like I said, it could prove to be real… interesting."

"HAHA, only 3,500? I'll still kick the crap out of him. Come and watch if you want, but its time." Nappa walked away. Vegeta shrugged and followed after. Radditz smiled in anticipation.

Gohan stood in the middle of the room waiting. They're late. Huh, I hope Vegeta shows up, I think he would like to see this. A few minutes later Nappa entered the room, Gohan looked over at the window and smiled when he saw Vegeta and Radditz there.

"I lied."

Vegeta looked over at Radditz.

"I mean about his power level. I lied when I said its at 3,500. Its not. It's at 5,000."

Vegeta's eyes grew huge as he heard that. "5,000! You've got to be kidding me! Now I see what you mean by this being an interesting session." Radditz smirked.

Gohan watched as Nappa approached him. "Alright, kid, we're gonna spar a bit, I want to see just how strong you got." Before Gohan could respond Nappa launched an attack. Gohan easily ducked beneath the punch and came up with a kick into Nappa's ribs. Nappa's eyes bulged with the power of the attack, and Gohan punched him hard across the face, sending Nappa into the opposite wall.

"You little piece of shit! Now you made me really angry!" Nappa leaped up and flew at the grinning child.

Gohan waited until Nappa was almost on him before flipping up into the air and letting Nappa's punch hit nothing but air. Gohan's feet came down onto Nappa's head and he used it as a springboard to get high into the air. Turning Gohan started firing blast after blast down on Nappa, who could do nothing against the kid's onslaught.

When the smoke from the explosions cleared Nappa was revealed. He was standing there with most of his training armor shattered and with only a few pieces hanging on. He was extremely bruised and cut up, and was panting heavily.

He shook his head to clear it. "I don't know what your power level is exactly kid, but you can't take this!" Gathering his energy Nappa sent a huge blast out of his mouth heading straight for Gohan.

It came on quickly but Gohan knew what to do. He raised his right hand and held onto it with his left, then fired a massive beam at Nappa. The two attacks met in mid air, but Gohan's easily pushed Nappa's back. Gohan pushed more energy into his attack and watched Nappa's beam be overcome entirely and then the beam hitting Nappa, exploding on impact.

Gohan floated gently onto the ground. He was breathing slightly hard, but the beating on Nappa had really been nothing more then a good exercise. The medic units rushed in to take away Nappa, and Vegeta and Radditz slowly walked in from the other side.

"You're getting good kid, you've beaten the shit out of both your teachers, not bad. We're going to the Planet Cheskun, and you're going to go along. It's time to really test out those abilities of yours."

Gohan's eyes widened at the surprise. He grinned in anticipation. "Alright Vegeta, it sounds like fun."

Vegeta and Radditz both smirked. "We leave now of course; now go put your armor. You too Radditz." Both Radditz and Gohan left to get their armor while Vegeta left to make sure the ships were ready.
