"Lift Off"
The Next night . . .

"Master Roshi, you can't come with us to save Gohan, you won't stand a chance against Bardock," Yamcha said.
"I may be a little old, but I can fight better than YOU!" Master Roshi snapped back.
"WHAT WAS THAT, OLD MAN!?" Yamcha screamed in his face, "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME!?"
"Bring it on," Master Roshi challenged.
"Stop it, guys," Goku said. "Yamcha, we need everyone we can get to help us."
"OK," Yamcha said, looking more pissed off by the second. "I can still fight better than HE can," Yamcha said to himself.
Goku, Yamcha, Krillin, and Master Roshi boarded Goku's ship, with Yamcha and Master Roshi trailing behind. After a few minutes, they found the control room. Alongside the walls were human-like androids, sort of like a small army. The monitor took up most of the wall, with smaller screens on it.
Goku and the others jumped in the cockpit and looked at the controls. "Guys, we have a problem," Goku said worriedly.
"What?" Krillin asked.
"I don't know how to take off!" He said, looking at the controls in confusion. Everyone face-faulted.
"Great, do you have any more surprises for us?" Krillin said sarcastically.
"Try pushing any old button, Goku," Yamcha suggested.
Goku looked at the controls. Then he closed his eyes and pressed a button.
Meanwhile, outside, Bulma and Dr. Brief looked at the ship. It's been ten minutes since they went in.
"So, Dad, do you think we should tell them that the launch button is the big red button?" Bulma said.
"No, they'll be able to figure it out," Dr. Brief replied.
"I wouldn't count on it if I were you," Bulma said.
Suddenly, the laser shot a bright blue beam from the ship, disintegrating all the trees in front of them. "See?" Bulma said with a large sweat drop on her face.
"Lets at least hope they remembered to turn the safety on so no one in there would get hit with the recoil.
"Oops, I guess that was the wrong button," Goku laughed nervously.
"OK, but I'm not going to let you drive my car anymore," Krillin said.
"Please don't do that again," Yamcha said, pitch black. The recoil from the laser fried Master Roshi and Yamcha.

Five tries and seven disintegrated forests later . . .

"Hey, I think I found it, guys!" Goku said happily as he pushed a big red button on the dashboard. Suddenly, the ship went airborne. The only problem was . . .
"I CAN'T STOP THIS THING!" Goku exclaimed in fear. Everyone in the cockpit immediately started screaming at the top of their lungs. The ship suddenly went up through the clouds and out of the Earth's atmosphere, into the darkness of space.
Meanwhile, on Bardock's ship, he looked at the ship's screen, looking for a ship that might be Goku's. "Kakarot is late," he said impatiently. Suddenly, he saw a spaceship going straight up. "Computer, magnify," he said. He saw a ship that looked a lot like a flying saucer. "Computer, magnify again," he ordered again. A huge sweat drop came down his face as he saw Goku frantically pressing buttons on the dashboard.
"How does he remember to breathe?" He asked sarcastically.
"STOP IT! STOP IT!" Goku yelled as he pounded the dashboard in frustration. Suddenly, the ship stopped then went in orbit with Bardock's.
Well, he made an interesting entrance, Bardock thought.
"GOKU! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! YOU ALMOST GOT US KILLED!" Master Roshi exclaimed.
"Five years from now, we're gonna look back on this day and laugh." Goku predicted.
"If we live that long," Krillin said.
Bardock looked at the monitor on his ship. "Computer, open a direct link to Kakarot's ship."
All of the sudden, a large screen opened up on Goku's largest monitor, with Bardock's face on it.
"Whoa!" Goku yelped.
"My gosh! They were right! He looks just like Goku!" Krillin exclaimed in surprise.
"Now that you mention it, I do kinda see a resemblance," Yamcha said, "He could easily pass as Goku's Old Man!"
"Welcome, Kakarot. I'm glad you came! Oh, and I see you brought some friends along. Good. Now, if you and your friends want to try to find your son, you'll have to board my ship."
"Where's Gohan!?" Goku yelled.
"Why, Kakarot, don't you trust your own father?" Bardock smirked, "Don't worry, he's OK and he's right here."
He moved over to reveal Gohan firing a huge blast at a force field. It bounced off and hit him back in the face, knocking him unconscious.
"GOHAN!" Goku yelled.
"Well, maybe I was wrong about him being OK. Oh well, a saiyan can take a little pain," Bardock laughed. "Well, I'll see you soon! Good luck." The giant screen disappeared.
"Father?" Krillin asked. "So that guy's your father?"
"So that's why you wanted to spare him," Yamcha said.
"Right now, we have to worry about saving Gohan," Goku said.
"Right!" Everyone said.
