Episode 42: Departure: Bulma's Lab- Destination: Finding Goku

No one managed to even imagine how could possibly Goku and Bardock gone missing like that? Another week passed away, and by now it was rather obvious that they were indeed in trouble. Kibitoshin then decided to go to Planet Earth 2.0 and try to find them by himself, but after a week or so, with him too no one could establish contact anymore. Not even Supreme Kai. Luckily, for everyone, Bulma already began building a ship for four persons to travel to Earth 2.0. Gohan and Trunks have already decided to go, but who would the other two persons be? Vegeta was everyone's guess at first, but he declined saying that only a clown like Kakkarott would be foolish enough to disappear like that without a trace, so he wasn't worthy enough to save. Plus, he was already busy trying to perfect his Super Saiyan 4 form with the help of his incredible heavy outfit which Bulma made 250 times heavier. Goten was also occupied with his new girlfriend so it was out of the question for him to join. He just simply refused to believe that his mighty father could get in any trouble. Uub, however, couldn't join them cause some kind of disease struck his village, so he had to stay to help out with the help of Boo and Mr. Satan, who sent his finest doctors there to make an antidote. Finally, they asked Piccolo and Khitan to join them, who accepted. But two other persons wanted to go along with them as well: PAN AND XEVO.
-Out of the question!-Videl shouted.
-But mama...-Pan started-You always said that if you knew the past years where grandpa Goku has been gone too, that you'd let me find him and join him. And now, I actually know where he is, and I believe he's really in trouble, and he needs me this time.
-Then let Piccolo and Khitan handle it along with Gohan and Trunks. And take even Xevo with you, who can hardly defend himself? This mission is not a childish game you know.
-I'm not a child anymore. I'm already 15.
-Just because you go to high school, doesn't mean you're an adult yet.
-But I'm capable of handle more than any kid of my age. I'm more capable than even a normal adult.
-This conversation ends now!-and her mother left the room.
Xevo was hiding under the bed and heard everything, when he decided to crawl out.
-Sorry, Xevo, but I guess we'll miss out all the fun this time.-Pan said sadly.
-Do you really think that your grandpa is actually in danger?
-I don't know. But I do have a bad feeling though. Nevertheless, I really wanted to go on this trip. I heard my father saying that planet is almost like "heaven."
-Let me talk to Trunks!
After a while...
-Sorry, pal...-Trunks started-But this trip might be too dangerous for you two.
-C'mon, Trunks! Have some faith in us...in me! You know that I too would die for an opportunity like this. Please, let us join you guys!
-I would have agreed in other circumstances with pleasure, but this is not a trip anymore. This has become a mission to find out whatever happened to Goku, and if it's not too late, to save him, and his dad.
-But I'm his granddaughter!-Pan cut in-Don't I have a matter to say?
-Come now, Trunks!-Xevo continued-I promise that we'll be extra careful, a give you my word, as a scientist, I will not allow myself to get distracted and focus on the mission. Plus, now I too am able to fly, thanks to your flying shoes we made together.
-But flying isn't everything you know.-Trunks replied-Hm...very well. I shall talk to Gohan and see what he has to say about this. But I'm not promising anything.
-Thanks, Trunks! You're the best!-Pan said happily.
-I have to say...you guys have really changed during your first year of high school. You are already acting like a couple of teenagers: anxious, selfish, adventurous, irrational...Brings back good memories when I was your age.-then he walked away.
Both Pan and Xevo were smiling like little devils, who were happy for convincing someone to do as they please. Trunks did convince Gohan, who convinced his wife, to take those two with them instead of Piccolo and Phitan, the last one also being excited about going, before finding out he would not be going anymore: that's when he became super pissed at Pan and Xevo for taking his place.
Few more days passed until the ship, and everyone else was ready for the big trip. They gathered at Bulma's lab, where the ship was, and everyone said good-bye to their loved ones. The trip itself to the planet would only take two weeks. But what will our heroes encounter on Earth 2.0 that not even Goku, Bardock nor Kibitoshin could handle? Are they and the planet really in danger? Is this the doing of the Saiyans? Find out on the next exciting episodes of Dragon Ball F!
