The Shadows dull Calling, go forth Son Gohan and Krillin!(Part 1)

"Boss! Boss!"

A hooded man ran towards another hooded figure, who looked at his comrade with disdain

"What? Don't tell me you ran out of tears already! We can not be giving so many too newcomers like you!"

The hooded figure stopped immediately in his traps, seeing his comrade yell is normal, but having him yell towards him was terrifying. However, he caught his emotions. Bringing back the confidence and determined spirit he had, and with that, he stabbed his hand into his pocket before taking out a stone, which made his comrade confused

"What. Is. This?"

"Our key to reviving our lord!"

The hooded figure #1 looked happy and almost proud of his accomplishment. His partner, however, had difficulty understanding what this meant. From what he can see, his comrade just brought a rock and said it would help them.. "What a joke," he thought to himself, and with that thought, hooded figure 1 seemed ticked off by his partner's attitude

"Fine! You be that way, but just you wait. When I revive Lord Diablos, you'll be sorry!"

And with that, the hooded figure stormed off. With his comrade shaking his head in amusement and disappointment, resurrecting Diablos was on their list of duties, yet it wasn't supposed to be taken so seriously. The figure just scoffed at the idea of a total newbie to even bring back the leader

After all, that can not be possible at the moment.... at least, that's what he thinks

One Year Later

A young boy with spikey hair was looking over some work. Simple equations only filled his brain, which he could've solved easily, yet he felt... bored, he wanted this, yes, but something doesn't feel right. The boy leaned away from his desk before turning his head towards the nearby dresser, seeing a photograph of him and his mother, alongside another guy with extra spikey hair. The boy smiled at the framed photograph before getting up

"That's enough homework for me today, I should probably check on Goten."

As the boy left his room, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Like something was happening elsewhere that he should be stopping, but that couldn't be. The threat known as Cell, a bio-android with the DNA of everyone he knew and cared for was defeated by him. So, he questioned himself before rushing to his baby brother's room, hoping his fears wasn't coming from there.

Thankfully, when he entered, he saw Goten sleeping peacefully in his crib. Holding a make-shift plushie of a ball with stars on it, the sight made the boy smile before his ears picked up on a slight ringing noise from the kitchen, he found it questionable. As no one should be calling near the afternoon. The boy shut his brother's door before walking to the kitchen to pick up the phone

"Hello, Son residence. You've reached Gohan!"

"Hey Gohan! Glad to hear from ya bud!"

A voice peaked from the other end of the phone, one Gohan knew very well. And he was glad to hear back from it again, as a smile slowly crept up on his face while an enthusiastic tone took over his tired one.

"Krillin! Man, it's been a while. How are you and 18 doing?"

Gohan said, immediately trying to reconcile with Krillin, and the man was perfectly fine to catch up with the young boy. However, urgency quickly caught up to the young man as he spoke to Gohan
