Gohan shook the thoughts out of head. He was trying to look too far into the future. He needed to focus on the present. He had to figure out who--
Gohan stopped in the air.
What was that? he thought. He looked around, trying to find the five immense powers he had just felt. Were there five? Yes, he was sure. Five powers, and coming from above.
Gohan then heard a strange burning sensation in the sky. He looked up quickly to see the sky ignited in fire. It was a mixture of hot orange and dark blue. It seemed that something was ripping through the Earth's atmosphere. This was no thunderstorm…

Videl and Chi-Chi looked on as the sweet man in front of them lay in bed. He was heavily hooked up, with IV's and many other wires going in and out of him constantly.
"I can't bare to see him like this," said Chi-Chi to Videl, drying her eyes from the tears. After hearing that the doctors had absolutely no idea what was wrong with Goku, Chi-Chi fell into a deep depression, fearing the worst for her husband.
"Don't worry Chi-Chi," reassured Videl, "I'm sure they'll find out what is wrong soon, and then Goku will be better."
"I don't believe you, Videl," said Chi-Chi.
"But why not?"
"Because there is something very wrong this time. Even with Goku's heart disease, Mirai Trunks was able to help us. But no one is here to guide us now. We don't even know what's wrong with him!"
Videl just looked down at the ground, searching for something to say, but nothing came up. Chi-Chi began to cry again. A nurse entered and took Goku's pulse and heart readings. Videl looked up at the ceiling and concentrated. She could feel Pan…and suddenly she felt her fear.
"Chi-Chi!" yelled out Videl suddenly. Chi-Chi turned to her, "something doesn't seem right, Goten and Pan are in trouble, I think something has gone terribly wrong at the house."
"Then go. Thanks for helping me Videl, but I'd feel more reassured if you were with the kids anyway. And don't bother taking the car," said Chi-Chi, watching Videl go out the door with a look of worry on her face. As Chi-Chi looked back to Goku, she saw his eyes wincing, and his hand behind him, scratching his lower back furiously.

Kakarotto…
The voice was back. But this time Goku was in the middle of a forest. It was filled with evergreens, topped with snow that seemed to fit on them perfectly. Goku took a step and looked around. He was in his familiar orange Gi once again. His left boot plunged into the snow with his next step, producing a satisfying crunch. Goku seemed to like this. He didn't care how he got here, or why he was--
A bump on the head? Is that your excuse, Kakarotto?
Goku looked around quickly. As usual, no one was there. The sound didn't seem to be coming from anywhere. It seemed to echo in his head, it wasn't from inside him, but instead channeled to him. What was the voice talking about?
You have forgotten…
In an instance, the forest dimmed to a pitch black.
I'll just turn super saiya-jin so I can see… thought Goku.
Goku concentrated on the death of Kuririn, and in an instance he would be super saiya-jin.
But.
Nothing.
Goku reached down. Something was wrong. His hands were shorter. He could easily touch his toes. Suddenly, a mirror descended from above. It stopped right in front of Goku so he could see his reflection. He was once again a child. But that was not what made Goku faint in shock. It was the look of evil that burned in his eyes.

As his bottom touched the grassy soil of the plain, Remeth, the red blob-like alien, let out a shiver.
"This place is horrid. I cannot believe we were convinced to come here," he complained as the four other blobs exited the ship. As each one touched the ground for the first time, they let out a shiver.
"You are right, Remeth, this place has extremely low temperatures. I think the word would be 'cold' in their language," inserted Yemeth.
"No one cares about their language," said Gremeth, "and I think it's safe to say that none of us care much for this joke of a planet."
"I'd suggest flying, since we don't have to touch this disgusting soil," said Blemeth, as he rose into the air, with all four others following suit.
"So how do we find the five? The five that worked for Freeza and his evil ways so long ago. The five that put an end to our planet and all it's life!!!" screamed Gremeth, exploding in a huge power. His body erupted and formed a human-like shape. It had arms, legs, a head, and a body, just like a human except with no expression face, or any other distinctive features.
"CALM YOURSELF GREMETH!!!" screamed Remeth, making Gremeth retreat, turning back into his blob-like form, "I don't want you transforming anymore, that is a waste of energy and your time as well. We don't need any of that around here, especially since we don't want the Ginyu's to find us…yet."

For the second time in the night, Vegeta woke abruptly. But this time, something was wrong. After his little bout with Gohan, Vegeta was very tired and wanted nothing more than sleep. He could beat the little bastard anyway. He just didn't want to go super saiya-jin 2, or even beyond that…
And in the room across the hall, Trunks popped out of bed as quick as a fox. He had definitely felt a power. But it was not like Gohan's. This power was unknown to him, and it didn't seem like it belonged to anyone he knew. But it was great, it matched even that of the super saiya-jins, which was a signal to Trunks that his dad was about to--
"TRUNKS!!!" screamed Vegeta, slamming the door open. Trunks nodded and Vegeta left the doorway. For the second time that night, Trunks threw on his pants and flew out the window.

Gohan was sure of it this time. He had felt a great power. Just as the atmospheric storm had subdued, Gohan seemed to see a silvery gray glint from the sky, and then heard a loud BOOM of some type of impact on the ground. Something had come from outer space, and Gohan had to check it out. He raced towards the site, now having felt the great power. Gohan had a queasy feeling, a feeling that something was here that was not wanted. He had to find out what it was. It was his duty to his father, who was incapacitated at the time being.
As Gohan flew over a large mountain, he saw a huge crater in the ground. Not wanting to draw attention to himself, Gohan dropped to the top of the mountain, scanning over the top for any kind of view. Unfortunately, he didn't have binoculars or anything of the sort, and a saiya-jin's vision is nothing extraordinary.
He peered over the cliff again. But his eyes seemed to be deceiving him. He seemed be viewing five huge circles of different colors. That was strange. Gohan slipped on his glasses, but to no avail. He still saw five circle. He could make out the colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and brown. But what were they doing here?
Gohan jumped and quickly flew down behind a big rock across the field from the ship. He heard a slight mumbling, but could not make out any distinct words. He peered around again. And yes, his eyes were not deceiving him. There were five circles, to be more correct, blobs, just floating there. Behind them was there now dull spaceship, and its dull gray was only visible against the dark emptiness of the night.
Gohan knew that he couldn't let this go on. He had to figure out what the creatures were. Gohan thought that he always had made good decisions, so what was wrong with this one? Plus, how were five multicolored blobs going to do anything to him? Gohan jumped up from the rock, causing all of the blobs to do a full spin. He slowly descended towards them, and eventually landed right in front of them.
He could make them out clearly now. And there was not much to make out. They were just blobs, as he had seen, except for the fact that their heads were made up of a smaller blob of a flat shape. They all turned and seemed to form a huddle. Gohan could make out many words of his language throughout them. Maybe they were some kids in Halloween costumes…
The blobs turned back to Gohan. The red one stepped forward, seeming to be the leader.
"Are you an Earthling?" it asked.
Gohan looked at it strangely.
"Yes I am," he replied, "what business do you have on our planet?"
"I will be asking the questions, Earthling," said the red one with a menacing tone. Gohan found it unbelievable how it talked, since it had no mouth, or anything else that moved when it talked.
"Ugly creatures, aren't they?" muttered the brown one, causing all five to laugh uncontrollably. Gohan couldn't tell where they were looking, or who they were looking at, as they were all spherical and had nothing to indicate any facial or bodily features.
"Earthling, are you affiliated with or part of the group of five warriors known as 'The Ginyu Squad'?" asked the red one again. Gohan heard the name. It sounded familiar. He was about to answer when--
"Oh, please excuse me, I guess we have skipped the introductions. My name is Remeth. My yellow comrade is Yemeth, my green comrade is Gremeth, blue is Blemeth, and brown is Bremeth. And don't mine Gremeth, he's very grumpy, as usual. Now that we've gotten introductions, introduce yourself," ordered Remeth.
"My name is Gohan, I am son of Goku, savior of the universe." Remeth scoffed at the comment, and all the rest of the blob-like creatures cackled in laughter.
"But let's get to business. I've heard of this 'Ginyu Squad' you are talking about, Remeth. But they were defeated a long time ago," assured Gohan. Suddenly the blob-like creatures went deadly silent. Gohan looked at them intently, and they suddenly burst out in laughter. They laughed so hard that the ground shook, making Gohan feel very uneasy. He had a bad feeling about these creatures.
"Defeated? By who? Let me guess…you?" asked Remeth, beginning to stop laughing.
"Well, I fought one of them, but Vegeta killed him anyway. Anyway, my dad beat the rest of them, piece of cake!"
The five creatures stopped laughing.
"Do you think it's funny, boy? Joking about the Ginyu Squad? That's not funny at all! They destroyed out home planet!" yelled out Bremeth in new anger. All the other four creatures backed up his words. They didn't believe Gohan.
"What proof do you have that your "Daddy" just went and destroyed the Ginyu Squad, eh?" asked Remeth, with approval from the rest of his goons.
"Well, I can explain it perfectly. You see--"
Before Gohan could finish, two long streaks of white appeared out of the sky and appeared next to Gohan in a flash.
"Gohan! What are you doing here? Did you feel the power, too?" asked Trunks, who had just arrived with his father. Gohan looked down at him with a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah Trunks, and I was just about to tell them about how my dad beat the Ginyu Squad," explained Gohan, puzzling Vegeta.
"What are you talking about? Why are you telling five multicolored goo balls how we beat the Ginyu's? What does that have to do with anything?" questioned Vegeta with anger, "what's this anyway? Aliens coming to our planet asking us questions…hah…this is a joke. Let me show them the true power of this planet!"
With that, Vegeta powered up greatly. Not even bothering to go super saiya-jin, Vegeta launched himself at Remeth.
"NO VEGETA!!!" screamed Gohan as Vegeta pulled back his right arm and plunged his fist into the blob's torso.
