Tuesday 8:00 PM Satan Mansion
"What do you mean they're gone!?" Mr. Satan slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "Do you have any idea what this means?!"
The soldier standing in front of him shook his head nervously, now he knew why General Cid sent him in there instead of himself.
"N-no sir I don't."
Mr. Satan grit his teeth together, "It means my plans are ruined!"
"B-but sir, what can four Saiya-jins do?"
Mr. Satan reached over his desk and grabbed a hold of the soldiers collar, "A lot of damage…" He growled shoving the soldier then sat back down into his chair, "Go find them."
"Y-yes sir." The soldier saluted shakily then made a hasty retreat.
8:02 PM The Lookout
The place was breathtakingly huge, it felt so unreal that this place existed and only a small amount of people knew of it. Arumiku shook her head in awe as she walked around the room assigned to her. In front of her a king sized bed sat at the back of the room, A large dresser sat against the wall opposite of the bed next to what appeared to be a closet, and to the left was a door that led to a large bathroom complete with both a large bath tub and shower.
Toma and Kujo each sat in similar rooms of their own trying to decide what they should do first, sleep or bathe.

Piccolo stood at the edge of the lookout glaring at the sky before him. He could feel the presence of Son Goku approach him from behind and then stop about a foot away.
"Pic?" Goku said clearing his throat and walked up next to the Namek.
Piccolo chose to ignore the Saiya-jin just so he wouldn't have to talk; actually it was that he couldn't face the man who had seen so much and had not gone crazy. Unlike Son, he had gone crazy in rage and fear from what he had witnessed as a small Namekian in a cruel world. But one sniveling brat, who as the years went by felt that he couldn't take it anymore and killed himself, had cured him. The thought made Piccolo feel sick. Goku cleared his throat again bringing Piccolo out of his thoughts.
"I need to tell you something Pic, I know who killed Vegeta…" Goku shifted his feet, "and the kids." He added softly.
Piccolo tore his eyes off the sky casting them on to Goku.
"It was Krillin and Tein."
Piccolo snorted averting his eyes back to the sky, "You're still ill Son, go back to bed."
Goku shook his head, "You need to believe me Piccolo!" Desperation evident in his voice, "They're not the same anymore."
"If what you say is true, then how did they gain the power to defeat Vegeta?"
"They're androids now." Goku said solemnly.

Arumiku had been listening to the conversation between the Namek called Piccolo and the Saiya-jin named Goku, who had been along side of her throughout the whole ordeal with the humans. She sighed and retreated back to her room, and for some reason… she felt safe now…
She stared at herself in the bathroom mirror for a while, her hair damp from the resent shower dripped onto the black shirt she wore. Her stomach growled and she grinned, for once she wouldn't have to wait to eat.
~*~
The smell of chicken was in the air and Kujo was following his nose to it. His mouth watered from the aroma as he slowly turned the corner into the kitchen. Toma and Arumiku were already there, each with their plates full of food. Kujo stood in the doorway gaping, his mouth watered even more and his stomach growled noisily. Toma and Arumiku each turned around in surprise then both smiled at the sight and held back a laugh.
"Kujo… you can come and eat, you know." Toma laughed.
Kujo was at the table in the blink of an eye scarfing down everything he could get his hands on. Both Arumiku and Toma sweat dropped then continued to eat.
Goku walked into the kitchen and smiled, "I see you all have found the kitchen." He chuckled taking a seat next to Toma.
The other three nodded as they ate.
Toma swallowed a mouthful of food and turned to Goku, "Aren't you going to eat?" She asked taking another bite of chicken and rice.
Goku shook his head, "No, I just ate."
After lunch the four Saiya-jins headed outside where Piccolo and Dende were waiting. Piccolo grunted as the four approached and turned away, "Son, we have a problem." He said looking up at the sky.
Goku followed the Nameks eyes to where he could see three little dots approaching the lookout at a very fast pace.
"What is it?" Kujo asked looking up at the dots also.
Piccolo scowled, "Krillin and Tein…. And Yamucha." He grunted folding his arms over his chest, "So they got him as well."
"Humans?" Toma asked walking up beside Goku who shook his head.
"Not anymore… They're androids now."
Arumiku shook her head, "Why would they do that?" She said with disgust.
"Mr. Satan must have brainwashed them or something." Dende said stepping up to the group, "That's the only logical explanation I can come up with right now."
A few minutes passed before the three humans landed on the Lookout, evil smirks set on each of their faces.
"Mr. Satan has requested that the Saiya-jins be brought back and exterminated." Tein said in a cold dead voice his eyes stared at Goku in an equally cold and dead stare.
"You can tell Mr. Satan that his request has been denied!" Piccolo growled.
Yamucha looked over at Piccolo, "Do not interfere Namek." He said calmly his voice like Tein's
Goku looked as though he were about to loose it, "What happened to you guys?" He whispered his voice catching slightly in the back of his throat, "You used to be my friends."
Krillin scowled, "You're talking like a stupid brat Goku, didn't you know that we were never friends? It was all an act!"
Goku looked taken aback, "What!" He said disbelieving.
"Don't listen to them Son! They have been brainwashed!" Piccolo barked taking off his turban and cape and threw them to the side with a loud thump.
"If you wont come peacefully then we'll just have to kill you here." Tein said falling into his fighting stance.
Both Yamucha and Krillin followed suit and then attacked.
