A/N: Sorry this took so long to update. I'd had up to chapter 36 done, and then the disk they were saved on got corrupted and I lost it all. I hadn't wanted to re-write this... which is why it took so long. It may not be up to par with the rest either because of that, I hate re-writing chapters.
Chapter thirty-two - Reunion
New Namek:
Glacier watched the distant night sky as the small blip of power neared, the last Dragonball was on it's way at last. /These Earth Sai-jins are beginning to be a pain. No matter, once I've heard from Zarbon I'll see to the Gateway. Once it's finished there're wont be anyone standing in my way./
He watched the Namek land and place the six star Dragonball with the others. He lifted slowly and floated down to them. Then he turned to the Namek beside him. "Summon him!"
The Namek nodded and spoke a phrase in his own language. A moment later the sky darkened and the Dragonballs began to glow brightly. Suddenly light exploded upward and snaked through the air slowly forming into Parunga. "Cooler, you haven't been killed yet?" the Dragon asked with a bit of a laugh.
"Not yet Dragon, not yet. I have a wish. Undo that idiot Zarbon's mistake and revive him."
Parunga thought for a moment, then smiled slightly. His eyes began to glow, "It shall be done." he boomed. A moment later Zarbon stood before Glacier.

Earth:
The breeze blew through the fields and craters of the previous day's battle. Dust swirled up around a lone figure standing in the middle of one of those craters. She stared at her hands in disbelief and wonder. "I... I was dead..." she said softly. "How... how am I alive? What.... what happened?"
~I am what happened, Glacier really needs to learn how to phrase his questions. My name is Parunga, I don't have time to explain. Go find Gohan, he'll tell you about me. Tell him New Namek needs his help....~
"Wha.... where are you!" she cried spinning around.
~On a far off planet, but that's not important. Just go! I've already given you the power to sense Gohan. Use it!~
Videl stood in silence for a moment staring up at the night sky. "I... I /i sense Gohan." she said in awe turning to his direction. Suddenly she lifted into the air and speed off higher and higher towards where she felt Gohan.

Hyperbolic time chamber:
Gohan collapsed face first into the ground. He'd just worn himself out in a fight against Hiroshi. He struggled to lift himself into a sitting position and looked off into the distance where the sounds of battle still rung out. Gotenks and Da'kar where going at it again, Mirai was laying beside him just as worn out. After all, they'd been fused together for the fight.
A worn and tired Hiroshi made his way over to them and shook his head. "That's.... wha.... what happens when... you... you hold back." he panted. "I shouldn't.... have... done so well.... against you two."
Mirai groaned as he sat up. "What kind of training... would that have been?" he asked. "We got a better.... better work...out.... this way."
"The three of you look like you belong in a grave." a voice said from behind them. It was welcomingly familiar to Mirai and the others, but had something of a joking tone to it. That struck them all as odd.
Mirai tuned painfully to look at who had spoke and smiled, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Fa...Father! You're awake!"
Vegeta snorted lightly. "Of course I'm awake, I've been awake for an hour now."
"You... you have?" asked Gohan.
Vegeta smiled. "How exactly did the two of you do that?" he asked glancing from one to the other.
***************
Earth, The Lookout:
"Thanks Dende." Videl said setting her plate down on the table. She'd arrived at the lookout about half an hour ago, after over two hours of flying, and the sun was already up. She'd met Dende, and Mr. Popo, shortly after landing on the lookout. He'd explained to her that Gohan and the others where doing some special training and offered her breakfast. She'd accepted gladly, flying that far was tiring.
She looked down at her watch... this time yesterday she was at the World Martial Arts tournament watching Trunks and Da'kar's match. Things had changed so much in the last twenty four hours. It was hard to believe everything had really happened.
Mr. Popo suddenly turned from her and Dende to look at a door behind him. "Oh my, they're coming out early... oh that's right, Vegeta, Mirai, and the boys went in before the others..."
Videl turned and watched as the door slid open slowly. Bright light poured out from within as a form stepped into the light and was silhouetted. One by one they stepped out of the time chamber, Gohan was the last one out. It took a moment for him to see her and he froze. "Vi...... Videl? Videl!" he cried.
"Hi Gohan." she smiled.
