Chapter 4- Departure
Goku sped up towards the Lookout. He had dropped off Gohan and his things at Capsule Corp. and was going up to meet the others. He touched down to find that everyone was ready to go. Vegeta was in his modified Saiyan armor, Piccolo in his normal cape and gi, and Gohan was awake and dressed in his purple training clothes. "Gohan. Are you sure you want to go with us?", Piccolo asked. "I'm sure. I want to find the monster who is causing this.", Gohan replied. He looked extremely serious, but still somewhat sick. "In that case, we'd better get going. Kami, we'll keep in touch. If anything goes wrong, if any of us dies, use the Dragonballs to get the others out immediately", Goku said. "Of course, Goku." "Well. Let's go.", said Goku as he turned and took off with the others following him.
Gohan seemed to be a bit calmer as they sped towards Capsule Corp. "I can't back out now. I gotta find who is doing this to my mind.", he thought. They landed on the Capsule Corp. grounds to find that the ship was all ready and that all their things were inside. "The ship has been expanded, so each of you have your own beds and space. And this time around, I was able to add the espresso machine.", Dr. Briefs said, with a smile. Bye guys!", Bulma yelled as they took off. "So. Off to Namek again.", said Gohan, looking out the window. "Yeah. And no Frieza to deal with. It's a Namek we have to deal with now.", said Piccolo, who put his hand on Gohan's shoulder. Vegeta was sitting in the corner of the ship with his eyes closed and his arms crossed. Goku was sitting in the front seat of the ship, looking forward. Gohan and Piccolo starred out the window as they began to enter the darkness of space. "Ahhhh.", Gohan gasped in amazement, looking out into the vastness of space. "Enjoy it, Gohan.", said Piccolo, "Once we get to Namek, things will really heat up. You won't have a chance to enjoy it then."
As they neared Namek, Gohan's dreams got worse. They became more and more vivid and the visions got worse. He could see Tarian, killing his mother, Piccolo and all his friends. He was standing on top of a high mountain. Someone was standing next to him, someone familiar. Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince Vegeta was standing next to Tarian, laughing with him, looking upon the slaughter that they had both caused. Then, Gohan was with them, standing next to them. The corpse of his was father lying at his feet. Gohan looked at his hands. They were red, stained with his father's blood. "No. Daddy…", Gohan said, "VEGETAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan sat bolt upright again, awakening from another nightmare. "What do you want, boy?", Vegeta yelled. "N-Nothing.", Gohan said back. Gohan looked down at his hands. They were clean, but he could practically feel the blood on his hands. Gohan decided that he would keep an eye on Vegeta, and watch out for himself to. He wasn't going to let anything like that happen to his father, especially by his own hand. Gohan took off his sweaty clothes and walked out of his room in his boxers, into the cockpit of the ship. "Now approaching Planet New Namek.", said a computerized female voice. Gohan looked up, out the window. What he saw horrified him. The planet that was supposed to be Namek didn't look like Namek at all. It had dark red clouds surrounding it, and Gohan could see thunderstorms. The dark red clouds gave the planet a nightmarish, red tint. It was horrific. And Gohan knew that's where he would face his deepest fears.
