Memory of the Sun

Chapter 12: Maybe We Could Get Along

"We're safe now..." Gohan said as he felt Vegeta and Luna's power levels slowly fade into the distance. "Vegeta will never find us down here!"

Krillin let out a sigh of relief, shaking his head as he thought about how pissed the Saiyan must be right now. I hope he doesn't take it out on Luna...

"Why would anyone look for us in such a horrible place!" Bulma hissed, crossing her arms while glaring at the ground.

"Well, uh, look on the bright side Bulma..." Krillin stated while attempting to sound reassuring, "At least this way you're not stuck in a cave anymore..."

"Krillin's right. We just gotta be positive-"

"You want positive?!" Bulma interrupted, making both Gohan and Krillin stare at her in surprise. "Alright! I am positive that we have no food or water or even a bathroom for that matter! How's that for positive?!" She finished, stomping her foot on the ground as she waited for an answer. "Well?"

"Hey, I got an idea Bulma..." Krillin said, trying to calm the blue haired woman down. "Why don't you wait here while Gohan and I visit Guru and get him to awaken Gohan's hidden powers?"

Gohan blinked, not understanding what he was talking about. "To... To do what?"

"I will not be left out here all by myself!" She shouted, angry at the fact that they were even thinking about leaving her alone again.

"You gotta trust me." Krillin said, trying his best to exude confidence. "First of all, we'll be back before you know it... And second, when we do return, Vegeta won't stand a chance against me and Gohan!"

Bulma looked at him with wide eyes, wondering to herself if that was truly possible. Gohan seemed surprised at his friend's statement too.

"You'll see..." Krillin continued, smirking as he made a fist in the air. "Once we get back from Guru's, we'll find Vegeta, get the dragonballs and save Luna too!"

"Yeah!" Gohan cheered, trying his best to follow his own advice and stay positive, hoping that his new friend was okay...

...

Somewhere else on Namek...

...

Luna sat on the ground near the rest of the dragonballs, watching as Vegeta paced back and forth in front of her. He hadn't said a word since his little outburst back at the cave. 

I wonder what's going on up there... Luna thought, watching his face as he frowned. He seemed to be pretty preoccupied with whatever he was thinking about...

"What are you staring at woman?!" He shouted suddenly, sending her a nasty glare that almost made her fall backwards in shock.

"I... I, um... N-nothing..."

"Tch, whatever." Vegeta rasped in annoyance before returning his attention to what his next move would be. Dammit... If Kakarot's son truly has some sort of dragonball tracking device, I can't afford to leave these unguarded even for a second... Not until I know exactly where he and his little bald friend are hiding... I have to focus... Wait for them to make their next move and sense them out...

Vegeta growled, glancing back to where the six orange balls sat while noticing the purple haired woman playing with a few blades of grass nervously. At least I have her to use as a bargaining chip in case they try anything stupid...

Luna jumped suddenly, looking towards Vegeta as the ground began to vibrate. He seemed just as surprised as the sound of a large explosion erupted in the distance. A few moments later, it happened again... And again.
