Chapter 4

Danger on the Horizon

Eight Months Later

Near Mount Poaz

Gohan signed as he lay down after a hard day of homework and training. The last year had been hectic to say the least for the seven year old half sayian. His trip to Namek, the battle with Frieza, training, thinking his father was dead only to find out that he was alive, and reviving all his friends with the Dragonballs. After it was learned that Goku, was alive and did not want to return to Earth at the moment, they used the dragonball to revive the dead Z fighters.

After some discussion, it was Krillin that decide to stay and train with King Kai. Since he had been the last to arrive, he decided to be the last one to leave. While all of this was being discussed, Vegeta decided that he would not allow Goku to get stronger while he while he waited for his return on Earth, getting weaker. The sayian prince made up his mind and while no one was looking Vegeta hijacked one of the Capsule Corp spaceships and left in search of Goku. Everyone was so caught up in the sight of the Namekian Dragon that by the time they noticed Vegeta was gone, he was already passed Mars.

After the other Z-fighters were revived, not much had happened. Yamacha stayed at Capsule Corp with Bulma, while Tien and Chaozu had left with Launch. Gohan had seen Tien and Launch having a private discussion shortly after the three eyed man had been revived. He had not heard the conversation, but Gohan was sure that there was more going on than neither were telling anyone.

For the next six months, Gohan had divided his time between homework (His mother demanded that he do it), training on his own, and visiting Dende. The two boys had become quick friend. Gohan told the Namekian boy about his life on Earth, the training with Piccolo, and the fight with the Saiyans. Dende told Gohan about what life was like on Namek. During these discussions, Dende tried to teach Gohan the healing technique that Dende had used on Namek. The power, despite what Gohan thought, was not a special ability that only Dende could use, but a special technique that could be learned by anyone. The Chiyu Souhou, as Dende called it, was very difficult to learn and despite Gohan being trained by a Namekian himself, he made little to no success with the technique. It didn't help that Dende had some trouble explaining how the technique was done. Apparently, since Guru taught Dende by simply implanting the knowledge into Dende's mind, he (Dende) had difficult explaining the technique. Even now, nine months later, the best Gohan could do was speed up his own natural healing and even that was not by much. He was a long way from actually being able to heal someone else. Still ever little bit could give him an advantage if there was ever another threat to Earth.

.Between training himself and training with and talking to Dende, six months sped by and then it was time for the Porunga to be summoned. The first wish was for Krillin to be revived. The short bald former monk appeared before all his friends and was greeted enthusiastically by his friend. He remembered it quite well:

Flashback:

"Your wish is granted!" said the Namekian Dragon, Porunga.

As soon as his words were finish Krillin appear in front of the Dragon. The former monk had a smile on his face as he saw all his friends were waiting for him.

"Krillin!" Gohan yelled as he rushed up and hugged his adopted uncle. "Its great to have you back."

"It good to be back, kid," said Krillin. "Really good to be back."

As Krillin and Gohan separated and made their way over to the others, everyone finally got a good look at Krillin. Unlike the other Z-fighter, he was not revived with the clothes he had been wearing when he died; instead he was wearing his traditional orange gi with a blue undershirt. On the chest of the gi was the symbol of the Turtle Hermit, signifying that he had trained under Master Roshi. On the back of his gi was the symbol of King Kai, which signified that he had trained under the North Kai. The gi was nearly identical to the one Goku wore right after he finished his training with King Kai. The only other physical thing that was different about Krillin was that he had grown in height by about an inch.

After a second everyone finally sensed his power level and they were shocked by what they felt. While his power level was not as strong as Gohan's or Piccolo's, it was easily the strongest of the human by a good margin.

"Wow Krillin! Those six months of training with King Kai really help you improve," said Gohan impressed that his friend had gotten so strong while training with King Kai.

"You don't know the half of it Gohan." Krillin said with a secretive smile on his face."

End of Flashback

And boy was Krillin right, thought Gohan. In the weeks since Krillin had been revived, the two had been sparing regularly. Krillin had demonstrated that he was not to be taken lightly, as he beat Gohan on the first several spars. While the spars were now more even now, Gohan didn't know if Krillin could go high than a Kaioken times four which Krillin used with ease, but he thought it was more than likely.

But that okay, Gohan thought, even I am not going all out, thinking about the technique he had created recently. He had not perfected it but it had come along way from a simple mediation exercise. Maybe the others and I can get some training in at the get together tomorrow. Bulma and his mom had decide to through a small picnic tomorrow as sort of a celebration the one year anniversary of Frieza's defeat and for everyone being wish back and alive. With those thoughts, Gohan closed his eyes and drifted off into sleep, unaware of the danger that was slowly approaching earth.

In space, heading toward Earth

"How long until we reach Earth?" asked a figure hidden in the shadows.

"Estimated arrival time is eighteen hours my lord," came a high raspy voice from the short figure standing in front of a computer. Standing next to the figure was another figure that looked like a mirror image of the short figure.

"Excellent," replied the first figure. An evil smirk appeared on an oddly familiar looking face. Soon I will gain the power to rule the universe.

"What so important about this backwater planet, my Lord?" asked a very tall and bulky figure who had up until this point remained silent. His gruff and deep voice sounded impatient.

"Surely you remember the transmission we intercepted from Frieza and his lackeys?" replied the man who was referred to as Lord.

"You don't believe that nonsense about some mystic artifact that can grant wishes?" replied the tall figure.

"Frieza seem to think it was true, so did that lapdog of his, Vegeta. So it is possible that there is some truth to it," replied the Lord. "And if not we can always use the planet as a new base of operations. With Frieza and his family in chaos after his defeat and the rumor of a possible rebellion on Frieza's home world, now is the perfect time to start beginning our own bid to take a little piece of Frieza's empire before he can get it back under control."

"Of course, my Lord," was the only reply.

Kami's Lookout

Kami looked out over his planet and not for the first time felt a tinge of dread coming over him. Something bad is coming. Kami thought to himself. But are we ready for it? Kami sighed as turn from the edge of the lookout and made his way back to his palace. As he walked toward his palace, he was stopped by what sounded like thunder. He turned his head slightly and was greeted by the sight of two figures blurring across the lookout at each other. As they met, another thunder like crack was heard. Both figures became visible as they landed on the lookout.

The taller of the two figures was easily identified as Piccolo. He was no longer wearing his cape and mantle but his turban was still planted firmly on top of his head. He looked fine save for a few small tears on his gi. Standing across from him on the lookout was what could have been a miniature clone of the powerful Namekian. Crews had grown slightly over the last eight months. He could now easily stand eye to eye with Gohan, which put him at about four foot tall. He was dress in the same style and color gi as his father. The only difference was that instead of a weighted cape and turban, Crews wore a weighted white vest. However that had been discarded early on in the sparing match with his father. He was sweating heavily and trying to regain his breath.

Piccolo looked at his son preparing what would have to be his last attack. Crews was gathering every last bit of energy could to prepare his last attack. He knew that he still was not strong enough to beat his father, but during these spars he always when all out. Piccolo's eyes gleamed with pride as he watched his son prepare to try and end their little sparing match. It was the kind of pride that only a parent can have for their child. Crews raised both hands over his head with one hand slightly in front of the other. Energy began to crackle slight around his hands as he finished the technique.

"Masenko Ha!" Crews yelled as he fired the wave of gold energy strait at his father. Piccolo instead of firing his only wave to counter Crews's wave, focus some of his own energy into his hand block the blast much like Raditz had done to Goku's Kamehameha wave. As the blast hit Piccolo, it exploded throwing up a cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared, Crews saw his father still stand with his hand held out in the same position he had been in just as the blast hit. As he looked at his father, his vision began to fade to black and he felt himself falling.

Just before he passed out completely, he felt someone catch him and heard his father voice say, "Don't worry son, I got you."

As Piccolo pickup his son, he cradle his son in his arms and began to carry the boy back to Kami's palace. As he passed Kami, he can't help but notice the odd smile on Kami's face. He growled slightly at the ancient Namekian, but made no move to change the way in which he was carrying his son. As Piccolo disappeared in to the palace, Kami look back at the horizon off the Lookout and slow his smile shifts from one of amusement to a genuine smile. Slowly he turns around and makes his way into his palace. His last thought as he enters is, Yes, I do believe we are ready.

Techniques/Skill list:

Chiyu Souhou (Healing Touch): Technique used by Dende to heal various injuries. Despite the fact that Dende only gained this ability after having his powers awaken by Guru, this is just a very advance ki technique. Guru merely gave him the power and knowledge to do it. However because he learned this quicker way, Dende has difficulty teaching it to others. (This is a not really an original technique as I just gave a different name to a technique.)

Kamehameha: (Turtle Destruction Wave): Blue energy wave. Used by Goku, Krillin, Yamacha, and Tien. Gohan has yet to learn it.

Masenko Ha: (Demon Blast or Demon Flash): Yellow energy wave favored by Piccolo, Gohan, and now Crews. Lack the control of the Kamehameha, but make up for it with raw power.

Power Levels:

Gohan (with weights on): 1,600,000

Krillin (Base Power): 400,000

Krillin (Kaioken x 4): 1,600,000

Crews (tired from sparing with his father): 250,000

Crews (Masenko Ha): 300,000

Piccolo (not really trying): 500,000

Author Note: Well there it is, another chapter in the books and a villain on the way. I tried to keep who the villain a secret though there were several hints as to who it is. Try to guess who the villain is. Also what did you think of the spar between Piccolo and his son. Just so you know those power levels for Crews are not his maximum power level. Just in case there is any confusion. Read and review please.
