Chapter 2- The mysterious ki

"Ohhh, that was good!" Goku exclaimed, stretching as far as his arms would allow. Bulma sat staring in shock. She had just seen both of them consume more then 3 refrigerators worth of food. Still stuttering about their amazing food consumption, she turned on the TV to watch her favorite soap opera. Suddenly- "News Flash! An unknown highly advanced explosive device went off at about 12:30 at the food packing plant. When the dust cleared from the explosion, no trace of the food remained and no footprints or fingerprints have been located. Police are still investigating this strange occurrence. Now back to your scheduled program."

As soon as Bulma had seen this, she hit record on the TV set. She sat, musing over this for a few minutes, then yelled,

"Goku! Vegeta! Get your asses over here!"

Hearing a crash behind her, she rolled her eyes. Then looking, her suspicions were confirmed. Goku was lying in a tangled heap at the bottom of the stairs. She walked over and helped him up, muttering something about being clumsy.

"Vegeta?" she yelled up the stairs, "DON'T PUSH GOKU!"

Vegeta walked down the stairs, a huge smirk on his face. He hadn't pushed kakarott; he had just tripped on the carpet! It wasn't his fault that kakarott was so damn clumsy…

As he walked into the room, he sat down next to Bulma, who had rewound the tape and was showing it to Goku.

Goku was very interested, but he couldn't figure out why Bulma had wanted them to see it…

"Listen, I know that this sounds crazy, stupid even, but that was no ordinary explosion. I don't know of anyone that has the technology or the speed to do something as drastic as that! Here, I also recorded the part where they show the roof cam of the building next door…."

They all looked closely at the building, saw the explosion, and the mass confusion that followed. Bulma looked over at Vegeta, who had an unreadable expression on, and then at Goku, who looked surprised. When Goku and Vegeta exchanged glances, both knew the same thing- the blast had been a ki blast, and all the Z fighters had been doing other things at the time of the explosion. They both realized that this could prove more of a threat then ever, now that they knew of another being with power matched with the Sayians.
