Chapter IV
Let the Games Begin…
"See ya later Chi," Gokou said to his wife as he brought his extended index and middle fingers of his right hand to touch lightly on his forehead, in an unlikely salute of love and longing. Gohan and Mirai Trunks stepped forward, each placing a hand on each of Gokou's shoulders. At first it was just Gokou, but quickly it spread to the other two. Sections of their bodies began to phase in and out. Then Gokou spoke two words, "Instant transmission." The three vanished from Chichi's sight, in literally the blink of an eye. She wondered to herself if Gokou had actually been there, or had he just been some part of a dream she was having during a sleepwalking fit.

"All right you two, you can open your eyes now," Gokou said, chuckling to himself.
"Wow, so this is the great King Kai's planet!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Who?!" Trunks asked, looking dumbfounded.
Gokou's eyes grew wide and his eyebrows shot up in disbelief, "You mean you've never heard how I ran down Snake Way to train here to fight against your dad, when he came to destroy Earth?"
"What do you mean 'Came to destroy Earth?' " Mirai Trunks asked.
"You mean Bulma didn't tell you? Gohan didn't even tell you?" Gokou's eyes still were opened wide in pure shock and disbelief.
Gohan caught Gokou's stare and shrugged. Gohan had always thought it best to keep Vegeta's reason for coming to Earth a secret. He had felt that if Trunks had learned the truth about his father, then he might not have helped us. Trunks had always had an unnatural respect for his father and pride that would rival the galaxy in size. If he would've found out that Vegeta had come here to destroy Earth, he might've tried to carry out his father's orders, just to show his respect for him.
"Is that you, Gokou?" a familiar voice asked.
"King Kai!" Gokou shouted with joy. A short, blue man, with sunglasses and antennae walked out of his little house on the little planet.
"It's been ages since I've seen you last. When you came back from Yardat, you were on Earth for about an hour, and then you disappeared. I thought you were dead, but I couldn't sense your spirit. Now I find you here, with your son and the son of one of your toughest enemies and allies," King Kai spoke softly and precisely.
"I brought them here to train with me under the gravity and under your expert knowledge," Gokou said and bowed in King Kai's direction.
"Come in, come in." King Kai offered.
