9 Recovery

After Vegeta had left the area, Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi showed up. Chi-Chi immediately headed to Gohan and started to frett on him, while screaming on Goku. Goku just laughed it off.

Krillen and Yamcha were being checked on by Bulma and Master Roshi.

Krillin was the better of the two. Yamcha had a broken arm and a fractured leg. Bulma was crying at his unconscious form, while Master Roshi looked grim. Roshi was staring at the corpses of his enemy's students. Those students could have been his own if they had made a mistake. It was a harrowing thought.

After getting a stretcher for Yamcha and Goku since they were both in critical condition. Goku was in critical condition because he used up all his energy and the Kaioken destroyed his muscles. They were taken to the West city hospital and were immediately taken for emergency care. Other doctors came to the aid of Gohan and Krillin.

After a few hours, Krillin and Gohan were patched up and were in Goku and Yamcha's room to talk about their game plan.

"We can't revive Tien and Chiaotzu, because of Piccolo's death. If only there were another set of dragon balls?," Krillen mused to himself.

He was interrupted by Goku's screaming as the doctor tried to inject him with a needle.

"No! I hate needles! Get it away from me, Chi-Chi!!?

In response, Chi-Chi held Goku down.

"Chi-Chi, how could you!!"

Krillin had a faint smirk on his face. Same old Goku, huh. The needle was injected, and Goku looked like he died for a second. After that fiasco, Gohan decided to mention something important.

"Hey, guys?"

"Yeah, Gohan?", Yamcha responded from his bed.

"When Mr. Piccolo was fighting that Nappa guy, he called him a Namekian. Is that what his race is called?"

A voice from the window was heard, "Very astute, young Gohan."

Everyone turned their heads to the window to see Mr. Popo floating on his magic carpet.

He started to speak once more.

"Yes, that was the name of Kami's race. I always found it strange how Kami created the dragon balls with no instruction. But maybe all of his race knows how to make them. Maybe they have their own set of dragon balls."

Bulma was quick to ask, "But how will we get to Kami's home planet? The Saiyans pod was destroyed so we have no mode of transportation."

"Come with me and I'll show you."

Bulma climbed on Popo's carpet and in a flash, it was gone.

.........

In a span of a second, they were there. Bulma steadied herself before looking around. In front of her, was a massive alien spaceship. Bulma looked in awe but noticed it was kind of old.

"Hey, Mr.Popo. Isn't Kami's spaceship kind of old?"

"Well, it is 300 hundred years old."

Shaking her head, Bulma threw a capsule at the spaceship, capturing it inside the small device. getting back on the carpet, they flew back to the hospital.

..........

2 Month Later....

In the last two months, Gohan and Krillin had been approved to be taken out of the hospital. Goku and Yamcha had to wait for the Sensu beans. They had started training, much to Chi-Chi's displeasure. She wanted Gohan to stay home and become a scholar, but he put his foot down and announced that he was going to Namek.

Bulma and Dr. Briefs analyzed the old spaceship and improved tenfold on it. Due to this, they could build another spaceship for Goku and Yamcha, so they could get to Namek themselves. Dr. Briefs had even installed a gravity chamber for both of them.

Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma were going first to Namek, so they could scout the dragon balls, and Goku and Yamcha were coming afterward for backup.

The launch was located behind Capsule Corporation. Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma were saying their goodbyes to everyone. Gohan promised his mother that he would be safe. The door then closed and after a few tests, the ship blasted into the air.
