Chapter 8: Regroup

In a mountain pass

'That was an easy victory but there wasn't much evil energy spread, I need to cause havoc as quick as possible to feed enough evil energy into Madruk' thought Vlad 'I know what to do, this is going to be good'

Back at Kame House Goku woke up from his injuries thanks to a Senzu Bean from Chiaotzu

'That feels better, thanks Chiaotzu' said Goku

'I'll go and give every one else Senzu Beans' added Chiaotzu

'You ok Goku?' Asked Master Roshi

'I feel like I've been hit by an exploding planet' replied Goku

'That fighter was strong but retreated' explained Master Roshi

'Yeah I noticed but why would he' thought Goku 'he had us at point of death'

'I know you're strong but he wasn't trying against you at all' said Master Roshi

'I know he wasn't trying I bit off more I could chew this time I didn't expect him to be that strong' added Goku

Krillin finally woke up so did Gohan

'Thanks Chiaotzu man that was painful' said Krillin

'You were just in time' added Gohan

'You were lucky I came when I did' said Chiaotzu

'Yeah you were' added Gohan

'Gohan!' Shouted Goten

'Hey squirt' added Gohan

Goten ran to Gohan and hugged him

'Are you alright?' Asked Goten

'I've been through worse' replied Gohan

'I always go through the worse' added Krillin 'I wish I was as strong as you guys'

'You're fine as you are Krillin' added Goku 'I wish I was as strong as Vlad'

'Yeah and not as ugly' said Krillin

Both Krillin and Goku laughed

'I don't know how you can keep so calm Goku even when things get bad' said Piccolo smiling

'Hey Piccolo, you Ok?' Asked Goku

'Just a stiff neck but everything else the Senzu Beans dealt with' replied Piccolo

Trunks ran out to the now recovered Vegeta

'Dad' said Trunks

'Trunks my son' said Vegeta

'You were awesome out there' added Trunks

'You think, even though I was humiliated' said Vegeta

'It's what you do best now Vegeta you just lose bad' added Krillin

'What was that the last time I checked Krillin I was far stronger than you' said Vegeta

'Geez I was only joking' said Krillin

Vegeta started getting angry

'Kakarot you stay here wondering, I'm off after him' shouted Vegeta

'That won't do us any good we need to plan' added Goku 'you should know that rushing into things isn't going to help Vegeta'

'Fine then we'll do this your way Kakarot, but if we don't come up with a plan soon I will go and stop him myself' explained Vegeta

'It would be a good idea if we head to the lookout' added Piccolo 'we can work out what to do from up there'

'Right, we'll head to the lookout by Instant Translocation' said Goku

'I've always wanted to go by Instant Translocation' added Goten

'Sorry Goten, you need to go home' explained Goku

'But daddy' added Goten

'This is something the grown ups are doing kid' added Krillin

'Dad what about me?' Asked Trunks

'Sorry my son you're going home where your mother is, you'd just get in my way' replied Vegeta

'I'm not weak dad' said Trunks getting angry

'I'd listen to Vegeta Trunks, go home' added Goku

'Oh fine then' said Trunks

'I'm ready to go dad' said Gohan

'Not yet take the boys home Gohan' said Goku

'Me but why?' Asked Gohan

'I need to know that they make it home but don't tell Chi Chi that you've brought them from the battle she'll probably throw a fit' explained Goku

'Ok then dad, I'll see you at the lookout' added Gohan

Gohan flew off with Goten and Trunks following

'I'm going back to the mountains' said Chiaotzu

'You sure you wanna go back?' Asked Piccolo

'Yeah I'll go tell Tien to go to the lookout, he'll help you out' replied Chiaotzu

'Are you coming Krillin?' Asked Goku

'I'm gonna regret this Goku but I guess you could use my superior technique' replied Krillin

'Here's the Senzu Beans Krillin' said Chiaotzu handing the Senzu Beans over

Chiaotzu flew off

'Master Roshi give a Senzu Bean to my wife will ya' said Krillin

'Sure thing Krillin' adeed Master Roshi

'Are you ready to go?' Asked Goku

'I'm ready Goku' said Piccolo

'Let's go Kakarot' added Vegeta Piccolo, Vegeta and Krillin held on to Goku he used Instant Translocation and disappeared

In a dark cave inside a mountain Vlad was walking down there

'Why have you come back Vlad?' Asked Gaul

'Speak now' added Scythe

'Out of my way I need to see Madruk' ordered Vlad

'Remember your place foolish creature' said Scythe

'Yes remember your place' added Gaul

'Let him speak you two' Madruk said his voice echoed

'I have a plan my lord, it would take weeks to get your plan working to reenergize your evil power you' explained Vlad

'Go on then tell me' added Madruk
