Chapter 4: Making Plans
Goku was pacing back and forth in his small room. Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and the young woman were sitting around, waiting for Goku to tell them the plan. Piccolo didn't look impressed, but Goku knew he was only there because he had to be. Piccolo still hated Goku, and would probably always carry that hatred. Goku stopped his pacing for the moment. "I've figured it out." He suddenly said with a smile. "Since your still alive Piccolo, that means Kami's still alive. We can gather the Dragon Balls and wish everyone on Earth back to life!"
"There's only one problem, how are we going to get to the Earth when we're stuck here?" Yamacha demanded.
"What are the Dragon Balls?" Pasha asked curiously.
"The Dragon Balls can grant any wish, all you need to do is collect them and call forth the eternal dragon." Yamcha explained.
"That's impossible." Pasha snorted.
"Would you shut up girl!" Piccolo snorted. "There are things you don't understand."
"That's enough Piccolo." Goku said. "As I was saying, we need to get the Dragon Balls somehow. If possible, we need to figure out a way to sneak off this ship."
"I was told Frieza sent people on missions, perhaps instead of going on our assigned mission we could head over to Earth." Pasha suggested.
"Good idea, except for how do we know Frieza doesn't have the pods programmed to go where we are supposed to?" Tien cut in. "Besides that, they'll have tracking devices."
"I can take care of that." Pasha said. "I'm good with computers, I wasn't just going through college for the fun of it."
"Your forgetting something though, he's not going to send us out on a mission all at once." Piccolo grumbled. "We'll have to wait till he sends me somewhere."
"No way Piccolo! We can't trust you to gather the Dragon Balls!" Yamcha snorted. "You'll just wish yourself to be King of the Universe of something like that."
"So what if I do?" Piccolo demanded. "At least I'll be able to take on Frieza then.
"Knock it off, both of you!" Tien shouted. "I say we send Goku."
"I second it." Yamcha said.
"It is settled then." Goku said. "Once I am sent on a mission, Pasha will reconfigure the controls on the pod and I'll make my way to Earth. Once on Earth I'll gather the Dragon Balls and wish for everyone one Earth to be restored to life."
Piccolo let out a loud snort and Goku raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"A lot of good that's going to do, Frieza will just kill them all off again." Piccolo said. "You need to make a different wish."
"If I make a different wish, then no one on Earth will be able to be restored back to life." Goku said. "The Earth will just continue to be a lifeless dust ball."
"Do what you want Goku, I'm not going to stop you." Piccolo said. "By the way, I'm leaving." Piccolo went straight out the door leaving everyone gaping at him.
"What's his problem?" Pasha asked.
"He's always been like that." Tien explained. "He's been evil since the day he was hatched."
The door slid open, and Goku turned expecting to see Piccolo. Instead a tall, muscular longhaired Saiyan stood in the doorway. "What's going on here little brother? Plotting something?" He came striding in the room like he owned the place. Goku cursed under his breath. He hoped that Raditz had not heard anything. Raditz leaned against the wall right next to Pasha. She tried to scoot away from him, but Raditz managed to put and arm around her shoulders. "Leave me alone!" Pasha snapped.
"Ah, come on, don't be shy." Raditz said with a laugh.
"Leave her alone Raditz." Goku growled. He knew he could beat Raditz up if he had to. Raditz took his arm off her shoulder and gave a slight laugh. "You're no fun little brother." He said. "You need to learn to lighten up."
"What do you want?" Yamcha demanded.
"Just here to tell you loosers that there is a meeting in the conference room." Raditz said. "You'd better not be late or Frieza will be pissed."
"This might be our chance to get a mission." Goku said as soon as Raditz was gone. "Then one of us can leave for Earth."
"This had better work Goku." Yamacha said. "Our we're going to be in deep trouble."
Authors note: That's it for a bit. Don't know when I'll finish this...
