"Well Gohan, it is good to see that you are awake, well we sure do have a long road ahead of us," the voice said from behind him.

Gohan turned to see who the voice belong to, and out from dark woods stepped Krillin carrying some firewood in his arms. Gohan instantly gave Krillin a confused looked, that begged to know just how he was alive, and also how ended up in the spot that he was in. Krillin may have seen it but just past him, and then put the firewood near the fire, before sitting down one of the looks and looking at Gohan. He took a deep breath, and looked at the young warrior. He knew that he would have to explain what had happened but was really not looking forward to doing so, but he knew had had too.

"Krillin, what happened, why am I still here," Gohan asked right before he was going to talk.

"Well I am sure you remember that male android going to attack you, well that android knocked Tien out, and I believe killed Piccolo, and the other android killed Vegeta, in the heat of the moment I used the solar flare, and grabbed you and Tien, and got out of there as fast I could, Tien woke up a few hours ago, and went to find some of the others who were more then likely to be the next on the list. Also we can't raise are power levels or they will find us, I figured out when I escaped that they were not able to spot me when I drop my ki level to nothing they just flew over me."

Gohan still was looking at Krillin in disbelieve, the idea that Mr. Piccolo had died seemed insane, and that fact he could not do anything about him seemed even worse then the fact he was dead. The other times his hero had been hurt he was able to get a bit of revenge but no he would just be killed he tried to do something. Something else also clicked inside of him, it was a feeling that Piccolo was still alive, he was not sure how he felt it but he just did.

"Well I am sorry gohan, I am sure that things are not going to get any better," Krillin said sounding a bit depressed.

Gohan picked up on Krillin's depression quickly, and quickly replied in a confident tone, "Krillin, I am we will figure something, I mean we survived on Namek before Goku was there, and could you say that having to hide from both Vegeta, and Freeza, and his minions was easy., right."

"Yah I guess you are right. I know your right, I know Goku would never give up, and I know he would never want us to give up either, we have to find away to beat these guys, we have to for Piccolo, and everyone these androids have or are going to kill," Krillin said sounding more confident in his self, "Well you better get some sleep we are going to have to walk to the Northern Mountains, we are going to meet everyone else there."

"Yes, sir," Gohan said laying back down.

Soon he realized that he had fallen asleep, he could tell cause he was back at his home, and everything was peaceful, he could feel the warm sun above him, and a light breeze against him, walked up to the house but right before he got to the door. It opened, and his father was in front of him.

"Daddy," Gohan yelled has he put his arms around his father, "I have missed you so much."

"I have missed you too, Gohan. I so wish I could be there to help you know," Goku said with a sad look, "I can't though, King Kai told me that I could communicate with you on this plane."

"You mean you not just part of my dream," Gohan asked.

"Nope, I am not," Goku said with a smile before his face turned more serious, "Gohan, it is really important for you and the others to survive and get stronger, in time I maybe able to come back for a day, and at that point, we can take these androids out. I know you can do this, and help Krillin, I know this is not going to be a easy time for him either."

"Yes father, I will survive, I can't wait to see you again," Gohan said with a smile.

"Me either, but I will try to talk to you as much as I can, but I can say just how often that will be," Goku replied.

"Oh one more thing, have you seen Piccolo up there," Gohan asked.

"Well I can't say that I have, but that does not mean he is not, cause I tend to miss a lot that happens, till later," Goku said before disappearing.

Gohan opened the eyes to see Krillin finishing the last of the packing, "Well are you ready Gohan, it going to be a good bit of a walk, till we get there."

Gohan gave Krillin a large smile, he was sure that things somehow and someway would work out, and he was going to do his part to make sure that they did so. "Yeah Krillin, lets get moving I don't want to keep the others waiting.

The walk was not nearly has hard as what Krillin had made it out to be, but it was not the easiest walk in his life, the first half of the walk was across a decently deep forest, where they had to cross over After about 3 hours of walking the came to an rocky area that went up in altitude until they were on a large mountain. Krillin, and Gohan noticed Yamcha, Yajirobe, and Roshi standing outside what looked like a cave. Both of the Gohan and Krillin walked into the cave, the place where they were going to have to be for a good while to come.

When the two entered the cave, they found that it was much larger then they thought it was. There were already four capsule corps buildings up, and both of the were sure that this was work of Bulma, and her parents. As they walked into the caves everyone made there come up to meet them. Beside the three that they saw at the entrance, Lunch, Tien, Chaotzu, Oolong, Puar, Bulma, Turtle, Chi Chi, and Little Trunks were also in the cave.

"Well glad to see you guys finally made it, just in time too, cause dinner is ready," Tien said with a smile on his face.
