Anything in the chapter typed between {} is spoken or thought in a language

Ash, you took the idea right out of my head.

Chapter 5
Krillin and Gohan flew rapidly towards Piccolo's energy signal. They soon saw them and Krillin looked around confused at why they were at Capsule Corporations since the ship definitely hadn't been there originally. He immediately voiced his concern to the blue haired genius.
"Bulma, why are we here? Wasn't the ship far off in some random desert or something?"
"Don't be silly, Krillin, of course it wasn't here. We moved it here because we figured it would be less suspicious if people saw something leaving Capsule Corps. We're always launching off odd scientific experiments so they won't think much of it. I also wanted to make some additions to the ship," Bulma explained.
"Oh. So, when do we leave?" Krillin inquired.
"Right now. We were just waiting on you guys to come." Bulma pulled a capsule from here pocket and threw it at the ground several feet away from them. With a puff of yellow smoke, the ship appeared in the backyard, reminding Gohan of a bug he had seen at some point over the course of his training. It stood on four legs with a spherical main body with two glass panels at the front where a bug's eyes would be.
"Good. Let's get going," Gohan stated impatiently.
"Alright. All aboard."
The Bulma, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo boarded the ship and closed the door. They walked down the white walled hallway until they reached the control room with several chairs. Everyone took a seat in one, Bulma taking the one by the control panel, and buckled in. Bulma started pushing buttons, turning the engines on and preparing for lift off.
"Take one last look. This will be the last time we see Earth in at least a year." With that said, Bulma activated the engines. The thrusters propelled the ship upwards into the dark, cold confines of space.
As soon as it was safe to do so, everyone removed their seatbelts.
"I guess I should give you guys a brief tour of the ship so you know what's where." Bulma stated. Krillin nodded while Gohan and Piccolo crossed their arms across their chests and followed.
"As you know, that was the control room." Bulma started. "We are right now on the bottom level of the ship. The second level has the sleeping areas and the kitchens. I installed some room for you guys to train on the third floor since I figured that was about all you guys would do. It can increase the gravity up to fifty times Earth's normal gravity."
Gohan smirked, looking forward to the challenge of the increased gravity to increase his strength. Piccolo decided it would be a great way to further his training and, although he would rather not admit it, Gohan's training too. Krillin just smiled.
"Good. I need to get stronger with how useless I was in the battle with the saiyans." He said.
"It's not that you were useless, Krillin. It's just that you weren't strong enough to fight them one-on-one." Gohan explained.
"True. I did launch that spirit bomb that defeated Vegeta." Krillin admitted.
Gohan sighed deeply. 'Whatever. Not like I couldn't have still beaten Vegeta without dad's attack. I have a bad feeling about this trip. We're probably going to end up in another fight, cool.' His saiyan side already getting excited for the possible upcoming fights he had a feeling they would be fighting.
"Well," Gohan voiced aloud. "I'm heading towards the gravity room to test it out. This ought to be good."
"Okay, sweetie, we'll see you later." Bulma called.
Gohan grumbled at his new name and left towards the gravity chamber. He went to the elevator and hit the '3' button to take him to the third floor. When he got off the elevator, he quickly found the door labeled 'Gravity Room' and walked inside.
He walked up to the main computer that controlled the gravity. 'Hmmm. How high should I set the gravity. I guess five times Earth's normal gravity is a good start.' He typed a '5' into the computer and hit begin. He felt the pull on him increase as the room increased the gravity. With the additional one-ton weight of his training clothes, he fell to the floor.
'This should do nicely' he thought to himself.
He started to push up so that he was sitting down with his legs crossed as he adjusted to the gravity. As he got more accustomed to the gravity, he stood up and slowly began one of the katas he had learned in his training with Piccolo to increase his concentration.
Downstairs, Krillin and Bulma were watching Gohan's training session on one of the monitors while Piccolo sat in his usual position for meditating.
"Not too bad," Krillin commented. "He's definitely going to spend a lot of time in there."
"Yeah," Bulma agreed. "I just hope he has some stuff to keep up his studies. I don't want to return to Earth a year from now and have to explain to Chichi that, not only did we take Gohan into space without her permission, but he spent all his time training with no studying."
"You're the genius here, Bulma. I'm sure you could teach him stuff like how the ship works and stuff like that."
"That would work. He's already very smart from how much Chichi made him study from what she told me. With Chichi as his tutor, he probably has the intelligence of at least a fourth grader." Bulma said. Krillin nodded his head in agreement; Chichi would have definitely made Gohan study harder than was probably good for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, doctor, how's my Goku doing?" Chichi asked.
"He's recovering remarkably fast. Faster than I have ever seen anyone recover for someone so beaten and bruised from a car accident," the doctor replied.
Chichi raised an eyebrow at the last comment but let it slide, figuring it was best if they didn't know that her husband had gotten in his position defending the Earth from aliens. She looked at Goku who was covered in casts and dressed in a light-blue hospital gown.
"Hey, Goku. I brought you some senzu beans," a voice called.
"Really, Yajirobee? That's great! I won't have to get any more needles. Those things freak me out. And I'm hungry," Goku said.
"You're always hungry, Goku." Yajirobee opened the brown bag on his waist and pulled a green bean out. He then tossed it into Goku's open mouth. Goku chewed the bean and then swallowed it. Soon after he felt all of his injuries healing and his hunger subsiding. Goku jumped out of bed and pulled of all of his casts as the doctor watched on in amazement.
"Alright! I can leave the hospital now! Then I can follow the others into space!" Goku yelled grinning like a little kid getting presents. "Oh, wait. There aren't any spacecrafts left. I know! I can ask Dr. Briefs to build one for me."
"WHAT!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOING INTO SPACE! YOU JUST GOT BACK TODAY AND I INTEND TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU! WAAAHHH! MY HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME ANYMORE!" Chichi wailed.
"Man, Goku. I don't know what you see in her or how you manage to live with her. Too loud for my likes," Yajirobee said.
Chichi's eye started twitching. She took out her frying pan from who knows where and hit Yajirobee in the head with it. "Take that!"
"Owww," Yajirobee whimpered. "That hurt! I'm out of here Goku. See you later!" Yajirobee scurried out of the hospital back towards Korin's Tower.
"Oh well. Hey, Chichi, does this place have any good food. I'm starving." Goku's stomach growled to emphasize his point.
"Not enough for your black hole, Goku. I guess I could make you some food if we go to Capsule Corps."
"WOOOHOOO!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They had been on the journey towards Namek for a little over three months. Gohan was most often in the gravity room training, alternating between increasing the gravity, increasing the weight of his training clothes, and meditating. He really only left to eat, study, or use the bathroom. Krillin often joined him but didn't have enough endurance to keep up with the demi-saiyan for too long. Piccolo also went in but spent most of his time meditating.
As Bulma had decided, she taught Gohan how the ship works and how other things she has made works. At present, they were in a bit of a problem.
"Umm... guys, we have a little problem here," Bulma said.
"What's the problem, Bulma?" Krillin inquired.
"We're running low on fuel and don't have enough to make it to Namek. We are going to have to find somewhere to refuel the ship." Bulma explained.
"Oh. Do you know anywhere, preferably friendly, that would have some fuel we could use?"
"I found some planets but I can't really tell you anything about the creatures that inhabit the planet. We'll have to land in order to find that out." The communications device started beeping showing an incoming message. Bulma pressed the button and heard a voice say something in a language that she didn't know.
"What are you saying? I can't understand you. We need to land for fuel." Gohan rolled his eyes doubting that aliens this far from earth would know how to speak Japanese. He was proven correct when the alien responded in the same language from last time in an inquisitive tone.
"Hold on a second, Bulma. I think I can get us out of this mess." Gohan stated. Bulma raised an eyebrow then shrugged her shoulders and let Gohan do what he thought would help.
Gohan concentrated on an energy signal on the planet. He sent his mind out and started searching its memories. He found what he was looking for and knew how to speak the language.
"{We need clearance to land and to refuel our ship}" Gohan said.
"{Very well then. You have clearance to land. We will send someone out to refuel the ship for you.}" The alien replied.
"{Thank you very much.}"
"You know how to speak that language. Since when?" Bulma asked.
"Since about, oh, about two minutes ago," Gohan replied with a Son grin on his face and his hand behind his head. Bulma looked as if she was about to reply, but didn't.
"Way to go, Gohan!" Krillin cheered. "You're a real life saver man."
Gohan nodded his head and headed out towards the ground to tell the people where to insert the fuel. He returned fifteen minutes later and told Bulma they could leave again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, Dr. Briefs, is the ship ready yet?" Goku asked.
"Almost ready. I managed to build that gravity simulator you talked about and all the engines work," Dr. Briefs explained.
"Well then, what's the problem?"
"I just can't figure out where to put the cappuccino machine. I can't find any room to put it." Goku fell over.
"That's okay, I don't really need cappuccino anyways."
"No cappuccino. Are you sure? I can never make it through the day without starting with a nice cup of cappuccino."
"I'm positive that I don't need it. I don't really like it anyways. It tastes really yucky." Goku said making a sour face when talking about the cappuccino.
"Well, if you're sure then you can leave right away. Gook luck to you!"
"Thanks. Bye!" Goku got on the ship and took off for planet Namek.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan was meditating in 50 times Earth's gravity with one and a half tons of weights on his clothes. In the background, he could slightly make out that Krillin was training with the yelling he was doing. He flew upwards and just missed hitting the ceiling as the gravity was returned to normal by Bulma entering the room.
"Hey guys, we are going to be arriving on Namek in about three hours so you should clean up and get ready for landing." She informed the three.
Gohan floated back to the ground, stood up, and opened his eyes. He chuckled briefly at seeing that the same had happened to Piccolo. Piccolo just growled at Gohan before returning to his meditation. "Very well then. I'll be ready in about an hour. I've got to get some food first though, I'm hungry."
"You are definitely Goku's kid, Gohan," Krillin said.
Gohan rolled his eyes and proceeded out of the gravity room and to the kitchen. He sat down at the table and made a meal big enough to satisfy his hunger appear on the table. He devoured the food quickly and then went to shower.
Three hours later and the four were buckled into their seats and ready for landing. The ship landed somewhat roughly and the four stood up and prepared to leave the ship.
"Interesting," Gohan muttered. "Vegeta's here. As well as a couple other pretty high power levels. Maybe I can finally get a good opponent to fight."
"Gee, thanks Gohan. I feel really good about my fighting skills now," Krillin said sarcastically.
"It's not my fault that I'm stronger, faster, and smarter than you," Gohan said innocently. "I just happen to be of a race that's naturally strong with cravings for battles."
Bulma just shook her head at their antics as the group descended from the ship and onto the planet to hopefully collect the dragonballs to wish back those killed by Nappa and Vegeta.
