Chapter VII
The Z Warriors watched the Nimbus Cloud zoom away, followed by Gohan. They stood in a semicircle, considering the afternoon's events. They stood for a number of minutes before Tien broke the silence;
"Come on. Let's go inside, I think we've got stuff to talk about." Without a word of protest, the men from various planets filed into the house, and sat on the couches, encircling the coffee table, the hole in the wall on the other side of the room.
"So, what do you think of Akira?" Tien asked, beginning what could be an unusual topic of debate. They looked at each other, nervously, mentally considering the facts, and preparing their answers.
"I think he was amazing!" Yamcha commented. Some members of the party nodded, but Vegeta had other thoughts.
"Hah! Amazing is an overstatement if there ever was one. If that was amazing, I can't wait to hear your compliment ME!" Vegeta replied egotistically. The Warriors looked at him angrily. Vegeta just shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm not sure what I think, but I'll trust Goku with this job, even if the boy did kill my palm tree." Roshi said, realizing the stupidity of loving a plant so dearly, that he clouded his judgement so much that he nearly HATED a young boy.
"I've got a really stupid idea of what he could be." Tien said. A bemused look came over many of the faces in the room.
"I reckon he's a Saiyan." Tien said, spreading a wry smile across his face. The Z Warriors in the room seemed to consider the prospect seriously, except Vegeta.
"I thought what Yamcha said was funny! A Saiyan! You should be a comedian Yamcha!" Vegeta said, laughing heavily, before realising that every face in the room thought of the possibilities.
"It's an interesting view of the situation." Yamcha said, mentally throwing the idea around his brain.
"It's possible," Said Roshi, "It would explain his energy attacks, and extremely quick learning."
"It's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard. It if got any stupider, it would be on MTV's 'Jackass'" Vegeta said, utterly astounded by the suggestion.
The room fell silent again, the physical voices of the men muted by the mental voices which screamed with the thoughts and accusations heard at this discussion. Slowly, one by one, the men left the table, said their goodbyes, and headed for the door. Each of them zoomed off to their homes.

The sky was now dark with the passing of the sun. The moon shone in the sky like a giant torch, sweeping across the surface to expose fertile life forces. Around it the stars sparkled, each holding a universe that contained millions of life forms that the Earth would never naturally know. If there where any romantics out that night, laying on a soft rug with their lovers, looking up into the sky, they will have thought to have seen a shooting star, never to know the men who created the illusions.
