Goku and Gohan raced to get to where Vegeta should have been and
where they both felt the fading power. Gohan looked at his dad, anger and
yet worry on his face. Gohan was only filled with concentration. The
ground sped by them quickly, Gohan needing too dodge several cliffs from
lack of attention to his own flying. Finally they could see the sparring
area and far below, a body sprawled out on the ground in Sayjin armor.
"Vegeta?!" Goku yelled, aiming downwards and flying to his side. "My god, what did this?" Vegeta gave no response, his eyes were almost tearful and Goku could tell his jaw was broken. Blood dripped slowly from his mouth and his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he passed out. Goku hastily removed Vegeta's armor and his undershirt, examining his wounds. Goku gasped as Vegeta's midsection was riddled and covered in deep impact bruises and marks of ribs being shattered. "Gohan?" Gohan turned to his fathers call.
"Yes daddy?" he responded.
"I need you to keep a eye out for whatever did this. Don't let your guard down son."
"Right!" Gohan said, clenching his fist. Goku hastily took out a small bag carrying three sensu beans, one for each of them. Taking Vegeta's water bottle, he pried open the unconscious warriors mouth, knowing the pain of his broken jaw would not harm him while he was passed out. Goku squeezed Vegeta's mouth with water and slipped in a sensu bean. He massaged Vegeta's neck muscles until he was content that the bean had safely gone down. He sat back and waited a moment for it to take it effect.
Suddenly, Vegeta's eyes shot open. He sputtered and coughed clenching his chest. His wounds and bruises were all healed and he knew he could stand.
"Kakkarot? Why are my clothes off?" he said with a bit of suprise. Goku chuckled.
"It was nothing sick I assure you, I just had to examine your wounds. Do you know what did this to you?" Vegeta shook his head no.
"It was just all a blur. I couldn't see it, it spoke to me but I could not understand what it said." Goku turned his head as he felt a tap on the shoulder.
"Yes Gohan?"
"Daddy, shouldn't we be able to feel its power? It must be gone!"
"No son, it could be hiding its power, much like we do."
"Right!" he turned back to his watch. Vegeta stood and slid his clothes and partially destroyed armor back on. He clenched his fist feeling his power fully return to him.
"Ill get whatever did that. No one sucker punches Vegeta."
"Caution may be warranted. You felt its power just as well as we did. Its way beyond our skills." Suddenly, Gohan pointed up to the cliff peak high above. He was about to scream out loud but he did not have to. Goku and Vegetas heads snapped in that direction as they felt a enormous power behind them.
Vegeta's eyes squinted, trying to make out the figure masked by the sun high in the sky behind it.
"Daddy!" Gohan muttered, shaking a bit.
"It's ok Gohan. Just be brave."
"Yeah you little snot. Be brave, your a Sayjin!" Goku shot Vegeta a dirty look.
"Vegeta.........Shut up!" Goku yelled at him. Vegeta only looked disgusted.
"My my my my my. Why is this world of earthlings fate always seem to land in the hands of you filthy Sayjins!!!!!" came a booming and oddly familiar voice from the top of the ridge. All heads looked in that direction as there was a flash, a blur, and suddenly he was before them.
They were all at awe with what they saw. A figure stood before them, surrounded in a white aura. His eyes were pure red, his teeth showing as he clenched them in anger. Goku estimated he was at least six feet tall, his "uniform" (or what was left of it) was tattered and the entire top half was ripped away, exposing the forms chiseled body. Gohans eyes fell on the face of Vegeta's assailant. He had a familiar quality to him, like he had seen him somewhere before. What was most awing was his hair. It stood tall and flowing much like a Super Sayjin's yet it was dark black, making the creature bear a oddly striking resemblance to a un-transformed Goku.
Goku took the first steps forward, his hands out to show he was unarmed and posed no threat.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Someone you know very well..."
"Excuse me?" Vegeta piped up. "Goku, you know this cheap ass fool?!" Suddenly there was another blur and the figure disappeared. Suddenly, Vegeta buckled as he saw a flash in front of him and he felt another blow to his stomach. Before the clocked ticked another second, the figure was back where he was, looking like he never moved at all. Vegeta gasped for breath, clutching his gut.
"Vegeta?! Are you all right?!" Gohan muttered. Vegeta nodded and shakily got to his feet. Goku turned, his fist clenched and rage present in his face.
"You stop that! That is unacceptable! We mean you no harm!" The man chuckled, running a hand through his thick and full hair.
"But you already have. You have done more harm to my ego over these years than can ever be explained. I refuse to be weaker anymore. And now that I have power, I feel ecstasy and power beyond imagining." He laughed maniacally. Goku and Vegeta both thought the man had lost his mind. Goku took a few indiscreet steps towards Gohan and whispered in his ear:
"Gohan, when I say go. Fly as fast as you can to the Kame house and don't look back. Tell Master Roshi to call the other warriors. Krillin, Piccolo, everybody. Get them here ASAP. We need them!"
"Right!"
"GO!" Gohan leaped into the air and blasted off at full speed. The man looked at him taking off.
"Huh?!" The warrior said, distracted for the moment. Goku took this opportunity to speed in and slam and right hook across the enemy. The warrior stumbled back but did not lose his balance. Goku leaped back and both he and Vegeta went SSJ. They were surrounded in heavenly yellow light as their hair exploded the matching color. The warrior only laughed and shook his head.
"I'll let him go. Bring back you friends. Then we will fight. Till then, chill out." Goku and Vegeta dropped from SSJ to conserve their powers. They rested down upon a rock and waited for Gohans (hopefully) timely return.

Gohan speed across the open ocean, maxing his speed as much as possible to punch it to the Kame house. He smiled and released a childlike giggle as he saw it in the distance. Giving it all he had, he sped up and landed roughly on the sand.
"Master Roshi?! Master Roshi?!" Gohan yelled, running across the sand to the house.
"Yes?" came a almost senile old voice from inside the house. Gohan burst through the door and saw Master Roshi eating a piece of cake, Gohan rolled his eyes.
"Quickly! Call the other fighters. We have a serious problem!" Roshi leaped to his feet and began to walk in the other room.
"Ask Krillin to come too if he is well enough." Roshi halted and tensed.
"Damn that boy!"
"Excuse me?" asked a puzzled Gohan.
"Krillin blasted off like a bat out of hell. He used the dragon balls without our permission. But I have never felt him with that kind of power before." Gohan was silent for a moment. Suddenly it clicked and Gohan put two and two together. His mouth fell open, that face. That face, he wondered why it looked familiar!
"My god! Our problem is more serious than I thought. Change of plans, ask one of them to go to Kami's lookout and get whatever information from Dende they can about the max of a humans power!"
"But...?"
"DO IT! I need to get back, soon. Just please master Roshi." Without another word Gohan leaped out the door and took off back to the battleground. Master Roshi walked over to the phone and picked it up. He dialed the first number hastily, he was overjoyed as a voice came on the receiver.
"Hello?" it asked.
"Tien, its Roshi. We have a problem!"

Gohan couldn't believe what he had heard. Could it really be Krillin on that battleground fighting them. But there were too many questions to ask. Why was he fighting them? Why did he get taller and get all that hair? How did he become so powerful? As Gohan flew over the horizon he couldn't help but ask himself, had Krillin become some type of Super Human?
