CHAPTER 9- Yajarobe???
Ok, yet again sorry for the late update! I've been working really hard on my web page, trying to drum up some interest in it, so I've had very little time!
VJ! I thought you'd lost interest! You're plan is working my friend!
Chibi tenshi senchi, I wrote that lightning bit in for you!
Disclaimer: I don't own dragon ball z!
"Ok so, run me through that again" said Goku, scratching the back of his head in confusion. Kami sighed.
"Frieza will arrive here in approximately fourteen months, in eight months you will go to my home planet, namek, in search of the original dragon balls…"
"and who can I take with me?" interrupted Goku,
"what?" said Kami, perplexed at the idea of Goku being scared to go to a peaceful planet alone, he was never scared
"well, you know it might be a long trip, and it'd be nice to have someone to talk to!"
Kami breathed a sigh of relief, his faith in Goku's strength having been restored.
"you can take two people with you, the ship can't hold many more, it was really only designed to bring me here as a child." He replied
"oh, well I'll have to think about who I'll choose then…"
"yes, but not now Goku, there's more, I need you to pay attention!" Kami interrupted, Goku snapped back into reality and focused on Kami "when you gather the namekian dragon balls, you must call the dragon forth and make three wishes…"
"WOW! You can make three there???" Kami felt tired,
"Goku, please just listen and save questions till later"
"ok, sorry!" Goku grinned
"your wishes will be to bring Bulma back and, now this is the complicated part, to bring back a man called Vegeta, he is a saiya jin like yourself, the prince of your race, and destined to kill Frieza." Kami stopped, Goku looked like he was going to burst "yes, you can ask questions now" Goku relaxed but immediately began his tirade of queries.
"why do we have to wait eight months to go to namek?"
"we need to wait for the earth's dragon balls to recharge so that we can repair the ship you will be using"
"why don't we just wish ourselves there?"
"because, then only one person could go, and I don't want you getting lost
alone somewhere in the vastness of space if something goes wrong, we need you Goku."
"oh, so why do we need this saiya jin prince guy to kill Frieza, I might be able to do it if I train hard enough!"
"you were not destined to do it, he has to do it to repair the discrepancies in the time line"
"ok, so what will we use the third wish on namek for??"
"we'll see, you might need it to repair your ship if your landing isn't a smooth one, or you might need to revive someone else if things go terribly wrong, if you don't need it for anything else, you could wish for Frieza's ship to take a little longer to reach earth and give us all a bit more time to prepare!"
"ok, anything else?"
Kami thought
"oh yes! There is one more thing, when Vegeta is wished back, he'll be wished back to a moon somewhere orbiting namek, you must take your ship and pick him up before you come home, you may find the journey home with him onboard a little… uncomfortable."
Goku blinked
"why??"
"he's a little stand offish, if you get my meaning, he's arrogant, selfish and rude, and he will expect you to treat him like royalty at all times."
Goku chuckled
"I'm sure we'll cope!"
"ever the optimist, Goku" chuckled Kami in return
"so, I should get to training I guess!"
"yes, but I have an idea of how you should train, I want you to go into the room of spirit and time,"
"that would save a lot of time" nodded Goku
"yes, but you and I both know that it will be very difficult to stay in there for a whole year on your own, I suggest you decide who to take to namek with you and take one of them in with you"
"good idea, I was thinking of taking Krillin, but I don't know who else. Tien won't want to go without Chaotsu, and vice versa, I suppose it'll have to be Yamcha."
Kami thought about this for a second
'Yamcha? I can't imagine what could happen on a ship containing Yamcha, Bulma's fiancé and Vegeta, her soul mate' he thought of many gruesome scenarios, all of which involved Yamcha meeting a premature grave.
"you mustn't take Yamcha" Kami sighed, now there was more explaining to do
"why ever not Kami?"
"there's more to this story, you see, Vegeta is Bulma's soul mate, they were destined to be together and have children together, in turn, their children were destined to be great protectors of this planet, and so they must be born. Therefore, right now Bulma is in the realm of the dead living with Vegeta."
"so Bulma and this Vegeta guy are in love???" Goku said in shock
"well… not yet, but destiny says they will be"
Goku thought for a second
"when will destiny give Yamcha a break? Gosh, the poor guy, he'll be crushed. Not that I'm not happy for Bulma mind…" Goku suddenly brightened
"yes, but it does give us a problem of who you'll take with you…"
"well let me see…" Goku looked up at the sky in thought
'master roshi's old, oolong would get scared, turtle can't really move around on land, Gohan's only a kid, chi chi needs to stay here to look after him, Tien and Chaotsu are inseparable… that leaves…'
Goku grinned and cheered
"Yajarobe!!" Kami almost fell over
"YAJAROBE???" he repeated Goku's statement
"he's the only one free to go, everyone else is either too old, too scared, immobile or tied up with other people!"
"don't you think Yajarobe would be scared too??"
"yeah, but not as scared as oolong"
Kami thought for a minute
"you're right, Yajarobe is the only one with nothing better to do with his time…"
"did somebody say my name?" called a petulant voice from behind them
"Yajarobe!" Goku cheered happily
"what brings you here?" said Kami
"humph, Korin told me to come up here with some sensu beans for Goku, seeing as he's training to save the world and all!" Yajarobe ground out sarcastically, as always
"great sensus!! Thanks a lot Yajarobe!" Goku was still grinning like an idiot
"whatever, I've gotta go, Korin's making dinner cos he bet me that we would have a peaceful year next year, obviously he lost!"
"wait, Yajarobe, we need you for something" Kami began gravely
"it better be quick!" grumbled Yajarobe
"how would ya like to come to kami's home planet to hunt some dragon balls?" blurted out Goku before Kami got the chance to put it tactfully
Yajarobe suddenly looked very worried…
