Author's Note: Before any of you ask about it: There is a reason why there are two (2) Tomas and two (2) Celipas. This is only the second chapter people. And it ain't a two chapter story either, so be patient. As usually reviews must be about the story. Other than that, I don't care, just knowing somebody actually took the time to read this is good enough for me.
Panboukin raised himself to one knee. He was in a large crater. He couldn't remember how he got here. He looked up and saw a blue sky. The Saiyan touched his cheeks. Then he broke into a grin. He started to laugh.
"I don't believe it." He said, "I'm alive." Suddenly, a shadow fell over him. He looked up. A tall, well built man stood above him. He had hair along the ridge of his head. The sun reflected where the man's head was bald. Panboukin could not see the man's face, but he noticed a tail wrapped around his waist.
"Totepo?" he asked.
"Welcome back." The man replied. Panboukin smiled and ran up to his friend. They embraced, laughing at their good fortune.
"We're back from the dead." Panboukin said, releasing Totepo, "I can't believe it."
"Nor can I." The bigger Saiyan said, "But I'm worried about something."
"What?" Panboukin asked, his smile fading.
"Where are Toma and Celipa?" Totepo asked. That was when they heard someone calling from a nearby cliff. They couldn't see who it was because of the sun. They took to the air and headed for the cliff. As they got closer, they could see two people on it. Finally, Panboukin landed before Totepo, and Celipa, leaping into his arms, greeted him.
Goku was starting to get nervous. After Namek had exploded, what he presumed to be the radar screen started to beep. Looking at the screen, he saw about a hundred dots. Next to each dot was some alien writing that Goku could not even begin to understand. Now, after flying for a few minutes, only three of the dots remained. And one of them was getting to close for comfort.
Bardock, Celipa and Toma and agreed to fly a safe distance from Kakkrot's ship. But Bardock had become impatient. He wanted to be certain that it was his son who was in the ship. And so, he started to fly a maximum speed.
His son tried to make to break away or to speed away. He must not know how to fly one of those, Bardock thought, closing the gap between him and the mysterious ship. But when he got within fifty meters of the ship, it took off, leaving Bardock and the other two Saiyans stunned.
Goku continued to watch the radar screen as one of the dots continued to come closer.
"Oh, I don't like this." Suddenly, a voice asked him, "What don't you like?"
"Huh?" Goku said, looking around, "Who's there?"
"I'm the computer you dolt." The voice replied. Goku looked at the control panel in front of him.
"Oh, hi." He said.
"Answer my question." The computer said.
"What question?"
"What don't you like?"
"Oh," Goku said, "There's something behind us and it's getting too close for comfort."
"Want to take over?" the computer asked.
"Meaning?" in reply to Goku's question, two slots on top of the panel opened up.
"Place your hands in the two slots. Then control the ship as if it were your own body." Goku obeyed.
"Okay, if I want to control it like my own body, then I have to, whoa!" the ship suddenly leaped forward. Goku was pressed back into his seat. Within seconds, the three dots had disappeared from the radar.
Goku was just about to stop the ship when it shocked him. Goku gave a yelp of pain as the two slots slammed shut.
"Hey, what was that for?" he asked, shaking his hand.
"That was way too much power. I'm keeping this baby on auto until you learn how to fly me properly."
"Ok, suit yourself." Goku said, leaning back into his chair, "By the way, where are we going?"
"To Yaarsdat." The computer replied.
"Why there?"
"Because I was programmed to go there," the computer said, "Now, shut up and let me fly." Goku was taken aback but said nothing. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Bardock stared after the space pod for a few minutes. Then he turned to Toma and Celipa. He used hand signals to tell them that he was going to Lebhania.
"We got nothing else to do." He said. The other two nodded in agreement. As Toma nodded, Bardock did a double take. For a split second, he saw his friend's eyes change. For a split second, he thought he had seen the eyes of a lifeless creature. It was hard to explain for Toma's eyes returned to the way they were before. And since it had happened so fast, Bardock made himself believe it was his imagination. He then led the way to Lebhania.
After the initial excitement of being resurrected passed Totepo asked, "So what do we do now?"
"Good question." Toma said.
"Where's Bardock?" Celipa asked, "Maybe he knows what to do."
"I don't think Dodoria killed him." Toma said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Bardock's a lot stronger than any us think." Toma replied, "I'm sure he surprised Dodoria."
"I hope you're right." Celipa said, yet not entirely reassured.
"So he's not on this planet." Panboukin said.
"Well hang on, let's confirm." Toma said. He then turned on his scouter.
"Yours ain't broken?" Totepo asked, amazed.
"Nope," Toma answered, watching the scouter's screen intently, "It was right where I left it." He fell silent and continued to watch his screen. The others fell silent, listening to the sounds the scouter made as Toma turned his head to scan the area.
"Well, there are a lot of power levels out there," Toma finally said, "But none of them come even close Bardock's."
"Wait a minute," Panboukin said, "Is the average power level around here two thousand?"
"Yeah, it is, which is scaring me." Toma said.
"That means the inhabitants of planet Meet have been resurrected too." This stunned the other Saiyans into a tense silence. Finally Celipa asked,
"What the hell is going on?"
