Chapter 6
"Traveling at 299,792,458 Meters per Second"
"So Dad, how did you survive the explosion?" Gohan asked.
"Well, it wasn't easy. After I finished off Frieza, the explosion set off the planet's actual destruction time. I knew I didn't have much time and flew to Frieza's ship." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back Flash...
"Darn ship! Work!" I yelled. I was still in super Saiyan stage, and I was punching the controls. The ground shook beneath the ship, and it leveled off.
"NO!" I yelled as the ship fell. I looked around desperately, and saw a space pod one of the Ginyu forces used. I punched a hole through the ship and flew towards it. I jumped into the space pod and set the coordinates to a safer place, and I took off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"But why didn't you return, Kakorot?" Vegeta asked.
"Oh, well the coordinates were set to a planet of the Yardrat. They found me when my ship crashed. They liked me a lot, maybe it's because I have the same appetite as they do. Ah, ha! Ha! Ha!" he laughed.
"But what took you so long to return?" Yamcha asked.
"Well, the Yadrat's had really cool techniques. They weren't really strong or good at fighting. But when it came to energy attacks and techniques, they were the masters. I learned a new technique there myself," he said, boasting his chest out in pride, "It's called instant transmission."
"Instant what?" Krillin asked, scratching his head.
"Instant transmission. It's a technique which allows you to travel at the speed of light to an ideal location. Your body becomes a matter of light, and you travel to another location."
"It's basically teleportation, isn't it?" Vegeta said.
"No, it's not. You...let me show you," he said and placed his index and middle fingers on his forehead. His body became distorted, and he was gone.
"Wow," Krillin gasped, but as he finished, Goku returned, holding sunglasses.
"Are...those Master Roshi's?" Krillin asked.
"Yep."
"But how'd you get them?"
"By using the technique. It's amazing!"
"Well, enough idol talk," Piccolo said, "Three years from today, on the morning of May twelfth at ten o'clock, nine mile southwest of south city, the Androids will appear, if I'm not forgetting the facts."
"You're correct."
"That's Amenbo Island guys," Bulma said.
"Quiet, woman!" Vegeta yelled, "Alright, so what do you propose,
Namek?"
"I'm not going to die, and I don't plan on doing it."
"Yeah," Yamcha agreed, "I've died once already, and I don't plan on dying again."
"So it's settled," Piccolo said, "I don't think any of us want to die, and that's why I'm going to train for three years. If you choose to join me, then come along."
"Count me out," Vegeta said, "I have other plans."
He flew off, with the others following him. And Bulma, of course, was being carried by Yamcha.
