Chapter 3- The Plan
Piccolo walked into the room and immediately kneeled next to Gohan. "He's my student. If something's wrong, I want to help fix it." "Glad to have you with me Piccolo. I want to bring Gohan with me; he'll want to see who is doing this to him. We might need help. I'm hoping to get Vegeta to come with us too.", said Goku. Piccolo responded, still looking at the sleeping Gohan, "How are we going to get there? The Dragonballs?" Goku responded immediately, "No. Dr. Briefs still has another space ship from when we went to Namek before. We can use that. We can get to Namek in a couple of days, besides we need the Dragonballs here in case something goes wrong." "Alright. You go to Capsule Corp. and meet up with Bulma and Dr. Briefs. I'll find Vegeta.", said Piccolo, who stood and looked Goku in the eyes. "Right. Kami, can we leave Gohan here for now? If he wakes up just tell him the plan and where Piccolo and I are." "Of course," said Kami, his wrinkled face stretching into a slight smile. "Good. Let's go Piccolo.", said Goku. He looked down at Gohan, stroked his son's long hair and said softly, "I'll be back Gohan, just hold on." Piccolo and Goku then turned, walked out of the room and flew away.
Goku sped towards Capsule Corp., deep in thought. He was worried for Gohan and for the threat that they would face once they got to Namek. He touched down on the Capsule Corp. grounds and saw Mrs. Briefs watering plants. "Ooooooh! Hello Goku!", she said. "Hi Mrs. Briefs. Is Bulma or Dr. Briefs around?", he said, looking around. "I'm right here Goku.", Bulma stepped outside. "Hey Bulma! I don't have much time, I need your spaceship; the one we took to Namek. I need to go to Namek. Someone is doing horrible things to Gohan, and I need to find them."
"Of course you can take it Goku. Vegeta mentioned something about Piccolo talking him into going with you. He doesn't want to go, but Gohan saved his life when we were on Namek before, and Vegeta is willing to help." "Awesome. I just need to talk to Chi-chi and then go get Gohan, if Piccolo and Vegeta show up, tell them to meet me at the Lookout." "Right", said Bulma.
"N-Namek?", stuttered Chi-chi, when Goku told her what had to be done, "B-But, Gohan is so sick. He can't go." Goku looked he sternly in the eyes, "He has to go Chi-chi. He will want to know who is doing this to him." "I'm so worried Goku.", she said. "Don't worry," Goku replied, "I'll take good care of him. We'll be back in about a week or two. Try and relax during that time." Chi-chi looked down, "I'll try not to worry too much. I still can't believe an alien is hurting my little Gohan like this." "We'll stop him," Goku assured her, "Goodbye for now. I love you, honey." Goku turned and started to walk out of the house. "Goku…", said Chi-chi. "Yeah?", Goku asked, hovering in the air. "When you find that evil alien who is torturing Gohan…" "Yeah?" Chi-chi glared at Goku, "Kick his ass."
