Okay, I know I won't be getting any reviews from you load of pansies but still I will continue to write this fic because I actually put a lot of thought into this prior to it's actual writing . Maybe some of you will actually learn to appreciate good wholesome literature.

Okay, it's time for chapter 2 then

CHAPTER 2: Only more bad omens.

"Ten"

"TEN!"

Chaozu attempted to get the attention of his best friend and training partner, three-eyed, one-time World martial arts tournament champion, Tenshinhan as the warrior continued to pound into the solid ice on the side of the arctic mountain that they were currently training on. He had been meaning to talk to him and though Ten was a reasonable person, this wouldn't exactly be something he'd want talk about. He had to keep trying.

=TENTENTENTENTEN!!!!!!=

=Gosh! Chaozu there's an echo out here as it is. You didn't have to use telepathy. We're standing right next to each other.=

Chaozu dropped out of Ten's mind and breathed a cloud of warmth into the frigid atmosphere. "Ten, I tried that but you wont listen to me, you're concentrating too hard on your training and that's-"

"Hey, what is that?" Tenshinhan suddenly noticed something unusual in the earth's energies.

"Huh?" It was easy for Chaozu to sense the energy source his friend was referring too with his amazing psychic ability. In fact he probably would've noticed it earlier if he hadn't been so worried about talking to Tenshinhan. "That's strange, it's definitely no one we know."

" Okay, let's go fight it!" There was obvious enthusiasm in Tenshinhan's voice.

"But we don't even know if it's an enem-"

"Seriously! When was the last time we felt a strange, unfamiliar energy and it wasn't some alien out to kill us all? In fact, if this isn't a foe I will eat my hat."

"But you're not wearing a hat."

"It's an expression Chaozu."

"Well, it's not a very good expression."

"Fine then, I'll eat yours. Now let's go!"

"Ten, you can't! That's what I've been saying! You've been training so hard you're beating yourself up. You're not getting enough rest and there's no way you're ready to go fight some battle!"

"Chaozu, I'm fine. You know I can handle this."

Chaozu frowned. "Just look at you, that- that bruise on your jaw!"

" That was from a stray boulder. No big deal-"

"The cut on your forehead."

" Um, chunk of ice tha-"

"Burn on your brow."

"Err.toaster oven?"

Silence.

"What? It was a vicious toaster oven! Really!"

" We should go join up with Gokuh and the others.we'll take care of this better as a group."

"But Chaozu, they're probably already over there by now. We should go meet them."

The shorter fighter sighed and finally got out of his cross-armed stance. "Okay let's go," he said.

Tenshinhan merely grinned his noble grin and the two of them sped off to find their friends and hopefully, whatever the strange energy is.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, at nearly uncharted altitudes.

He sits from his high and sacred perch, ignoring all the petty events of the world unraveling below him. No, he looks to the sky, the limitless blue that defines his very potential. Oh yeah, we're talking major potential. He who scaled Karin's tower with the weight of an injured and bothersome child, with nary a bite to eat nor a moments rest. He had had rescued that same annoying child from certain death at the hands of a face first collision with the rugged ground. The warrior who, at great personal risk, had severed the tail of a giant alien ape attempting to crush, once again, the spiky haired brat. So great was this warrior's self discipline that he had survived on a few meager beans and near complete isolation from all other human life for years. CALL HIM WHAT YOU WILL! SAIYAJIN SLAYER! LONE WOLF!! BRINGER OF JUSTICE! NONETHELESS, THESE TITLES ALL BELONG UNDER ONE NAME--!!!!!

"YAJIROBE!!! GET YOUR FAT ASS OFF MY ROOF RIGHT NOW AND TAKE THESE BEANS FOR ME!!!! I MEAN NOW!!!!"

The overweight fighter was pulled from his delusions of grandeur by the voice of the master of the tower. Karin, a cat of 800 years was not one to be disobeyed.

" Take'em yourself, Fluffy! I just got back from getting your groceries! I don't have to exert myself for the likes of you!"

Master Karin wiped a white paw across his brow, holding his wooden staff in the other. "I don't have time for this you insubordinate. There's something strange going on on the surface and I want you to bring some of these senzu beans to Gokuh and the others just in case."

"What now." muttered Yajirobe lifting himself with some effort from the dome shaped roof. " Okay, but as long as I don't have to get involved!"

"Believe me," replied Karin, "They'd have to be crazy to want you help. They won't ask."

" Say what you want old one, I almost kicked Gokuh's butt when he was a little punk."

"Well he isn't a little punk now, and right now you're not getting your behind down to earth! Go!!"

"Alright already, alright already."

And with that, another warrior set off to join the party.
