"I can't see him, or the crate." Trunks continued to look down into the
canyon.
"Now what was that for Vegeta?" Tien asked.
"Yea man, what's wrong with you?" Yamcha growled.
"Just calm down and take it easy." Chaitzou added.
"You're right, I'm sorry. The important thing is that we can save Goten cause I, we, got the medicine." Vegeta sighed.
"Actually no, we don't, it fell along with Gohan." Yamcha sneered.
"You know what? I'm outa here." Vegeta snorted and flew off.
"Vegeta!" Chaitzou cried but he was soon out of sight.
"Aw, I guess we don't have a chance now." Trunks sighed as he sat down in the snow. "Gohan and the medicine are gone, now Goten's gonna get sicker and die."
"I wouldn't worry about Gohan." Yamcha smiled, Trunks looked up at them.
"Yea, he's a tough guy, he'll be ok." Tien put a hand on Trunk's shoulder.
Down in the ravine below, the snow began to stir and tremble. A head started to bob from underneath until finally Gohan stuck his head out, taking in a deep breath as he gasped for air. He coughed as he pulled his body out of the ice. He collapsed on the ground, his body to stiff and limply numb to move from the frozen snow. He looked up weakly, exousted by the cold, he'd fallen very far and his head was killing him from the rock. He lay his head down on the snow and began to choke and sob to himself, he believed he'd failed his brother and now because of him, Goten was going to die. Gohan sniffed and turned away from the light from the sun above him. He opened his eyes and blinked, they focused again as he saw what he thought he saw. Yes, it was the crate. Gohan found his energy reserve and pulled himself towards the crate. He smiled as he opened it, most of the bottles hadn't broken, Goten still had a chance. Gohan felt something grow in him. "Yea!" He cried. "Woohoo!" He stood up, Goten still had a chance. "Wooooo!" The sound echoed up the ledges and everyone above on the top heard the sounds.
"What was that?" Trunks gasped.
"Was it Gohan?" Chaitzou ran over and looked down. Gohan was flying up with the crate. "It is Gohan!"
"Alright, he's ok." Tien ran over and looked too.
"And he's got the crate." Yamcha looked over. "Wow, I thought he'd be dead after that nasty fall." Tien smiled.
"I doubt that, he's a saiyan." Yamcha smiled. They cheered as Gohan flew up and landed the crate down on the snow. Everyone gathered around him and congratulated him.
"Hey, where's Vegeta?" Gohan looked around.
"Aw that sore looser took a hike." Chaitzou replied.
"We'd better get the medicine back." Gohan stood up wearily.
"Take it easy." Yamcha helped him stand.
"Do you want me to carry the crate?" Trunks asked the tired Gohan.
"No I got it." Gohan stood up strait and picked up the crate, he felt he was responseble.
"Well you were the one who flew from your house to North America, so you lead the way." Tien said and Gohan lead the way home with the medicine in hand.
A few days later.
"Here you go." Goku handed Chi-Chi a cup of tea.
"Oh, thanks." Chi-Chi yawned, she hadn't left her son's bed.
Goku sighed as he looked down at his sickly son. He was in another one of his feverish dreams, breathing quickly and tossing and turning, coughing in his sleep. He frowned, Goten was horrible. He went to sit down next to her when he heard a sound outside.
"Hu?" Goku shot toward the window.
"Who is it?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Somebody's here." Goku went out of the room.
"Is it Gohan with the medicine?" Chi-Chi grew eager and the door flew open.
"Vegeta." Goku laughed and walked over to his tired friend. "What are you doing here?"
"Were you able to find it?" Chi-Chi ran over. Vegeta looked up, he began to see flaw in his plan for returning here.
"Well, you see." Vegeta began to think up a lie as an excuse. "I found the medicine and everyone came. Gohan wanted to be the hero, because Goten's his brother, so I let him take the crate so he'd get credit. But he was getting tired, the crate was too much for him to handle. He wasn't watching where he was going so he hit his head on a rock and fell down a cliff. I didn't know, none of us did, so by the time we found him, it was too late."
"Oh no." Chi-Chi gasped and went pale.
"What about the medicine?" Goku asked.
"It's all gone, all of it was lost." Vegeta sighed.
"No, that's horrible." Goku was in shock. "Where's the others?"
"They're still somewhere in Alaska trying to find any remains of the medicine or Gohan, but I told them it was hopeless, I saw it happen with my own two eyes." Vegeta replied.
"Well, thanks Vegeta." Goku felt his heart sink.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help." Vegeta left with a smile, he was in the clear.
Back in Alaska.
"Gohan, do you know where we're going?" Trunks asked.
"I think we're lost." Chaitzou added.
"I'm not lost, I mean, I don't know where we are." Gohan admitted. He looked around.
"Hey Gohan, I think we're in Canada." Yamcha called.
"Oh and what gives you that idea brainiac?" Tien taunted, Yamcha pointed to a Canadian flag by the harbor. "Oh, well anyone could've figured it out from that."
"Look, the sign down there says Toronto." Trunks pointed.
"Then we're on the right track, let's go, it's southeast from here, come on!" Gohan lead the way. They traveled for a couple more days and they finally crossed the Atlantic and were somewhere in Europe.
"Gohan, where are we now?" Chaitzou called
"I think we're going in circles." Yamcha spoke up.
"Why do you say that?" Tien asked.
"We've passed that leaning tower of pizza twice already." Yamcha pointed. Tien just stared at his simple-minded friend for a few moments before rolling his eyes and begging for mercy. "We should go just east from here, the sun is our guide." Gohan said.
"Lead on, oh fearless leader." Trunks smiled. Gohan grinned back and lead the way. For a few more days they traveled until they got caught in a hard blizzard right near the end of Russia.
"What do we do Gohan, we're trapped!" Yamcha cried over the noisy wind.
"I don't know how much farther we can go." Tien shielded his eyes.
"We're so close, we're almost there." Gohan spit snow out of his mouth and trudged through the thick snow and finally fell.
"Gohan!" Trunks rushed over, he'd collapsed. Tien ran over and picked him up.
"He's exousted, we need to find a place to rest." Tien said and they ran into an old abandoned inn a few yards off. It was warm and dry inside, luckily there was still electricity in the vacant building. Tien lay Gohan down, he was shivering violently. "We need to warm him up or he'll freeze to death."
"Here." Yamcha took off his orange gi and put it around Gohan.
"He can use my jacket." Trunks took off his blue sweatshirt and put it on Gohan too.
"Hey, he's coming to." Tien pushed everyone back to give Gohan air. His teeth chattered and he coughed, wiping the melted snow from his mouth as he spit it out. Gohan rubbed his eyes before opening them, he groaned. "Are you ok kid?"
"Yea, we have to keep moving." Gohan sat up but half passed out, he fell back over.
"Gohan take it easy." Yamcha held him up, Gohan groaned.
"We have to go, come on, hurry up." Gohan said wearily.
"You need to rest, then we can go." Trunks replied.
"No." Gohan found some strength to stand up and he shoved Yamcha away. "Come on, we're almost there, we have to get to Goten while there's still time. He's my brother, it's my responsibility to see this medicine to him. I couldn't forgive myself if we were too late." He closed his eyes and struggled to talk, he was exousted but wouldn't give up. Seeing there was no arguing with Gohan, they all reluctantly agreed. The group flew back out into the blizzard and flew all day and into the night, as daylight dawned, the storm had ended and they were over ocean water. "Look, we made it." Gohan pointed.
"We should be there by the end of the day if we keep up the pace." Tien smiled. They flew faster, eager to get home. Back at home.. "Vegeta, why didn't you stay to help? They've been gone for weeks now, what if they're all gone?" Piccolo said in a deep, quiet voice.
"I made my choice, I'm living with it." Vegeta replied coolly. Piccolo just growled.
"Chi-Chi." Goku turned around as his wife came outside. "How is he?"
"He's sleeping easier now but he's exousted from his coughing." She sighed.
"Hu?" Goku looked around violently.
"Goku, what is it?" Piccolo asked.
"Can't you feel it? That energy!" Goku continued to look around quickly.
"Yes, I do feel it!" Piccolo was shocked.
"What?" Vegeta sensed it too.
"Could it be?" Goku looked over the horizon, he put his hand over his eyes to shield from the sun. Finally they could see it, it was the group with the crate of medicine.
"They made it, they did it!" Chi-Chi cheered. Vegeta's jaw dropped as he stared wide eyed, Gohan was carrying the medicine and everyone followed him.
"Hey." Goku growled and everyone turned to Vegeta.
"Uh.." Vegeta looked around, feeling a little nervous. "Gotta go." He flew off. Everyone tuned their attention back to the group, they landed and Gohan ran over.
"Gohan!" Chi-Chi hugged him tightly. "Oh I'm so glad you're ok."
"Dad, here." Gohan panted, handing Goku the crate.
"Wow, this had been on some trip." Goku opened it, most bottles were empty and broken but a few, just enough, remained for Goten. "Good thing you're not too late." He grinned.
"This is great, I'll call the doctor right away!" Chi-Chi ran inside happily.
"We almost didn't make it here when we did." Tien approached Goku.
"We wouldn't, that is, if we didn't have Gohan." Chaitzou added. Gohan smiled tiredly.
"Now what was that for Vegeta?" Tien asked.
"Yea man, what's wrong with you?" Yamcha growled.
"Just calm down and take it easy." Chaitzou added.
"You're right, I'm sorry. The important thing is that we can save Goten cause I, we, got the medicine." Vegeta sighed.
