Chapter Twenty
Disclaimer: I... you still with me... do not own DBZ or anything related to it other than the characters that I make up.
Sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. I went to the Lake of the Ozarks for a week and we don't have a computer down there. Then I came home for half a day and went to Iowa to visit my brother. We got home yesterday and I was ready to type the next chap and then the good computer crashed. So I had to use our newest computer, which for some reason doesn't have Word.
Translation: I've had an extremely good bad week or so.
On to the story, read and review.
…....
Everyone was up bright and early the next morning.
Vivian, Chira, Gonjin, Toryu, Veisen, Vegiren and Eighteen stood holding each others hand arm or shoulder, all connecting back to Master Roshi. Both Vivian and Chira had multiple suitcases packed for them and their son's though Vivian had a few more for lab equipment to run her tests.
The old master smiled around at the group and spoke, "Everyone ready?"
"Ready," everyone stated in unison, except for Eighteen who merely nodded confirmation.
"Alrighty then," Roshi muttered and lifted his index and middle finger to his forehead and concentrated for a moment before the entire group, luggage and all, vanished with a slight woosh as air rushed in to fill the suddenly empty space.
…....
The little waft of air from the living world wormed it's way down through the cracks in the Grand Kai's planet. The cracks had formed due to the stress created by the massive clashes of power on the surface and reached all the way to the planet's core. Being one of the mystical planets of the Kai's, it was solid rock all the way through.
Close to the center the thread of air encountered a thick barrier of energy, but it was not meant to keep anything out, and so it slipped through. Now at the center of the planet, it entered a small pocket in the earth and wrapped around the humanoid creature imprisoned there, flowing into it's open mouth as it took the slightest of breaths.
The ancient being's eyes shot open as it sucked in more of the air from the living world, and memory flooded back. Those damned Kais had somehow managed to put a barrier around him that had prevented him from being able to gain from breathing the air of the Otherworld. Then the fools had built a planet around him and thought themselves save. But he had time on his side, for he could not die, and the idiot's apparently had not thought that air from the living world would find it's way to him.
The creature smiled wickedly with a murderous glint in his eye and expanded his energy, making sure that he kept it small enough not to be detected by the powers he had already sensed above.
He felt around the barrier imprisoning him and grunted with dissatisfaction. The barrier had not weakened at all over five hundred million years, but no matter, he would break free.
…....
The group reappeared instantly in a bright green meadow on the Grand Kai's planet. Only feet away, Goku was sitting, fast asleep, with his back up against a tree.
Chira blinked and looked back and forth between the slumbering Saiyan and her son, Gonjin, "Wow! They really do look alike."
Roshi sighed and walked up to the sleeping Goku. "I guess I'll wake him up," he grumbled.
The turtle hermit stopped about a foot away and called out, "Goku, dinner time!"
Goku instantly leaped up, his head slamming into his master's chin. Roshi shot backwards through the air, ramming into an unsuspecting Toryu, sending him skidding across the ground, his master on top of him. Toryu's head hit a small boulder that was sticking up out of the ground, his sudden stop sending the old master flying into the air again. He did a single flip through the air and slammed face first into a tree trunk.
"Where's the food?"
