Goku and his friends still stared at the place where Gohan was once standing only to be interrupted by fortune-teller Baba. While her guests were occupied with Gohan, she hopped from the crystal ball and was ready to fulfill her promise
"Hey, pay attention! I'm going to perform the divination!" Shouted the old fortune-teller on which Goku and his friends glanced at her "You wanted to know the location of the 7th dragon ball, right?" Asked Baba on which she just received a happy nod from Goku. The older sister of Master Roshi sighed and then started with her divination. Bulma and the others patiently waited for anything to happen while they had confused expressions on their faces as Baba continued to use some strange words until the crystal ball started to glow "Hmm... the ball is moving and it's inside this car! You see it?" She asked as she pointed her index finger towards the crystal ball in which an image of a car was visible
"Yeah, I see it!" Yelled Goku happily as he stared at the image inside the crystal ball while Bulma behind him tried to use her dragon radar once again
"But that doesn't make any sense! That shouldn't be enough to stop it from appearing on the radar... something's strange!" Spoke Bulma as she irritably pushed the button on top of the radar, but still nothing was showing on the screen. The blue haired girl scowled and angrily put the radar in her pocket while Goku asked for the location of the car
"It's 200km in that way and it's heading in our way" Explained Baba as she pointed the direction of the car with her index finger towards the west. Goku nodded and without wasting any more time grabbed his power pole and the bag with the remaining six dragon balls
"I'm going to get the last ball and head over to Upa!" Exclaimed the young saiyan as he adjusted the bag over his power pole. He took few steps forward and called for the yellow cloud "Nimbus!"
"Wait, Goku! It won't be that easy to find the exact car" Said Yamcha as he pointed at the car who was on the move. Goku turned over with a troubled expression, but then Baba intervened
"Don't worry, the area which the car is driving through isn't one that many cars pass by" Told the fortune-teller on which Goku smiled and jumped on the yellow cloud while Bulma mumbled something to herself about the dragon radar. Goku was about to leave the group when he glanced at his father
"I'll come back soon, dad! So we can begin training!" The little saiyan said it with a smile while he could barely contain the excitement he felt. The older saiyan just nodded with a smirk on his face after which Goku flew away, in the direction of the last dragon ball
Kilometers away from Baba's palace, a single car was on the road which was heading towards the place where the fortune-teller was living. There were three people inside the car, two in front and one in the back. The one driving the car was a tall woman with a long black hair while the person sitting next to her was a short blue skinned man with pointy ears who held a box in his hands. Behind them, in the backseat was a dog wearing ninja robes and a sword. While they were heading towards Baba's palace, the short blue skinned man elaborated his plan to his minions who agreed and complimented their boss plan
"So what do you intend to do when you become a king, sir?" Asked the dog out of curiosity as he glanced at his boss who was caught off guard by this sudden question
"R-Right... Well, the first thing I will do is... hmm... uhh..." Not even he knew what to do once his wish was made, but he needed to think of something fast otherwise he would embarrass himself in front of them "Be quiet! That's a secret!" Yelled the boss who couldn't think of anything and tried to cover it. The dog backed away from his boss not wanting to anger him much further. The short blue man sighed and tried to relax a bit when they heard something hit the roof of the car. They glanced above when suddenly they heard a voice
"Hey! Give me the dragon ball!" Yelled Goku with a big smile on his face while he looked at them from the outside. The blue man and his minions stared at the smiling Goku with their eyes wide open when they suddenly started to yell in shock and fear. Out of shock and fear, the black haired woman drove out of the road which caused Goku to fall from the car, but the young saiyan safely landed on the ground. Inside the car the boss and his minions were still shocked by the fact that their target just appeared out of nowhere
"What should we do, emperor Pilaf? The plan was to catch him off guard!" Asked the black haired woman as she stared at her boss in panic
"Don't worry, Mai! We have those at our disposal and if worse come to worse, we can just grab his tail... he doesn't stand a chance this time!" Spoke Pilaf with confidence on which the other two nodded and with the emperor at their side walked out the car
"Huh... I remember now! You're the ones who tried to kill us!" Yelled Goku as he pointed his finger towards them "You guys are trying to do something bad again, right? You better give me the dragon ball without causing trouble!" Spoke the young saiyan with a serious expression as he glared at Pilaf who nervously sweated a bit, but tried to stay confident
"You're joking, I'm collecting the dragon balls just like you! Hmm... how about this, you fight us and if you win I'll give you the ball, but if we win I'll take the remaining six from you" Offered Pilaf while Goku wondered how Pilaf knew that he has six dragon balls "So how about it?"
"Sure, let's do it!" Said Goku with a smirk on his face and immediately moved into his fighting stance. Pilaf and his two minions threw capsules into the air after which smoke appeared. The three of them ran towards the smoke and each entered inside whatever appeared from the capsules. Goku stared at the three machines while Pilaf and his gang laughed at confused saiyan
"Haha, what'd you think!? If you want to give up, now's the time! These machines are very powerful!" Laughed Pilaf while he boosted with confidence in his own machines. Goku didn't even bother with listening what the emperor was saying and just kept smirking at his opponent. Pilaf seeing that started to wonder if the kid was even human, but he let go of that and ordered Mai to attack the little saiyan. Being still scared of the young saiyan, Mai argued against her going first when suddenly...
"If you won't attack, then I'll go first!" Yelled Goku who with a strong kick hit the machine in which was Pilaf and sent it crashing on the nearby boulder. The two minions immediately rushed towards their emperor and helped him stand up while Goku just stood on his place, disappointed "You guys aren't so strong, can you give me the dragon ball now?"
"Grr... no way! Mai, Shu its time to merge!" Ordered Pilaf on which Mai and Shu immediately come close to their boss and after few seconds, the three machines were now one big machine. Pilaf started to laugh, the same did Mai and Shu who were now very confident in their victory. Goku was without any words since he was surprised by the change and continued to stare. Seeing this, the short blue man took this chance and went for a surprise attack
"I will now beat you!" Said Pilaf and released flames from the left hand. Goku snapped out of it in the right time and jumped above the flames, but the flames managed to catch his pants which quickly set on fire and burned. Goku wasn't pleased with that because the gi was a gift from Master Roshi, who gave it to him for participating in the tournament. Goku landed on the ground and quickly dashed towards the big machine. He delivered few punches and kick's, but there was only little damage on the machine. Pilaf and his gang started to laugh at little Goku
"Hahaha, not so strong now, kid!" Laughed Pilaf out loud along with his minions who didn't notice Goku's movement. The young saiyan placed his hands in front and then moved them beside his body
"Well, I'll try this then... KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE-HAAA!" Shouted Goku and fired the energy wave towards Pilaf and his gang. The blue wave hit the machine and tore one of its hands. Pilaf and his minions watched with their eyes wide open in horror. Their expensive, powerful machine was broken
"Pilaf sir! Unit 2 is completely malfunctioning! I can't move!" Yelled Main in panic while she tried once again move the controls, but nothing happened
"W-What is he...?" Thought Pilaf for a moment until he snapped out of it and gave the new order "It's ok! We will abandon unit2 and change into type 'ostrich'!" The moment they heard the new order, Mai jumped out of the broken unit while Pilaf merged with Shu's unit and created a new machine
"Huh? What's this now?" Mumbled Goku who was once again confused with the new form. He blinked few times and was about to shift into his stance when to his surprise the Pilaf gang, ran away "Ahh! I won't let you escape!" Goku angrily yelled at the running gang for tricking him and immediately ran after them
"Pilaf sir, he's getting closer!" Mai shouted in panic while she strongly held onto the machine as they continued to ran away from Goku who was already few meters from them
"Fire the missile, Shu!" Without wasting any more second, the dog did what Pilaf ordered and fired the missile. The missile was heading right in Goku's direction but the little saiyan easily caught it. Goku threw it back at Pilaf and his minions who screamed when they saw the missile above their heads. The missile hit his new target and caused an explosion. Goku walked and approached the beaten gang with a smile on his face and demanded the dragon ball from the barely awake Pilaf who had no choice but to give the ball
"Hehe, I won!" Smiled Goku who observed the last missing dragon ball in his hands when he thought of something else "Oh and some clothes..." Said the saiyan as he glanced at Shu who gulped...
Goku was happily smiling as he was sitting on his yellow cloud and in new clothes. After almost twenty minutes of flying, Goku was now finally at Korin's tower which also meant close to Upa. Goku jumped from the yellow cloud and landed on the grass when he saw Upa outside the tent making a spear. The young saiyan yelled Upa's name who was caught by surprise and fell down on the ground
"Hey Goku, don't scare me like that!" Spoke Upa as he slowly stood up with the help of Goku who smiled at him
"I'm sorry Upa, but I collected all the dragon balls and now we can wish your father back to life" As Goku revealed that, the small Upa immediately looked at the saiyan with his eyes wide open
"W-What? R-Really!?" Yelled Upa who was so happy that a small tear fell down his cheek
"Yes, let's go and summon the dragon"
"O-Ok!" Upa and Goku moved few steps away from the tent and put the dragon ball's on the ground. Upa was hiding behind a tree, scared of whatever was about to happen. Goku just smiled and summoned the dragon. The dragon balls began to flash, the sky turned black and a big yellow light come out from the dragon balls. After few moments, a big dragon appeared in front Goku and Upa
"You who have summoned me, speak and I will grant you one wish"
"Alright Upa, come here and say your wish" Spoke Goku to Upa who was afraid of the dragon. He wasn't sure that, that a big scary dragon could bring his father back to life when suddenly the dragon let out a loud roar
"SPEAK YOUR WISH NOW!" Growled the dragon Shenron as he stared at the two boys who awakened him from his slumber. Upa snapped out of it and brought out all the courage he had, he needed to be brave so he could have his father back
"P-Please Shenron, bring my father back to life!" Yelled and pleaded the little boy as he closed his eyes and waited for the dragon to answer
"Your wish has been granted! Farewell!" The dragon spoke his last words and suddenly disappeared. The ball's raised into the sky and were about to scatter around the world, but Goku had something else in mind. On the ground, he was carefully looking for the four-star ball and before the ball was gone, Goku jumped and caught the ball that was a memory of his grandfather. While he was in the air Upa saw that something was happening to his father grave. He opened his eyes wide open when he realized that his father was moving inside. The little boy was about to run and help dig out his father when suddenly the tall and muscular man raised from the grave . Upa was so happy when he saw his father that he without knowing ran and jumped on his father who was still confused. The man remembered that he was attacked by that Tao guy who then killed him and now he was somehow alive and holding his son. Upa explained to his father everything that happened while Goku walked near them
"Goku, thank you very much. Is there something I can do for you?" Asked the tall man who was truly grateful to the young saiyan who did everything for him and his son. He never knew anyone so special as Goku was
"It was nothing, I'm glad you're back Bora" Smiled Goku as he scratched the back of the head "Well, I'm going now. Nimbus!" Yelled the saiyan for the yellow cloud which arrived almost immediately
"Huh, you're leaving already!?" Asked Upa who wanted for Goku to stay a bit longer with them, but the little saiyan already had some other plans
"Sorry, but everyone is waiting for me so I need to go" Explained Goku who jumped on the yellow cloud "Bye Upa, bye Bora!" yelled the saiyan and flew back to Baba's palace where everyone was waiting for him. While he was traveling back to Baba's place Goku felt very happy that Upa and his father were together again. Goku was also feeling nice because he himself had a father now. All these years he would occasionally think where his mom and dad were and now he finally met one of them. The little saiyan grinned and cheerfully yelled at the could to fly faster. It didn't take too long and Goku was finally able to see Baba's palace and his friends
"Hey, I'm back!" Exclaimed Goku with a smile as he waved his right hand to his friends who were waiting for him at the exact spot where he left them
"Goku! How did it go? Was his old man really revived"Asked Krillin who immediately stood up from the ring and watched his friend jump on the ring
"Yes, he's back!" Declared Goku with a smile as he raised his hand with two fingers up
"Well done, son" Spoke Bardock who smiled at his son who grinned even more. The older saiyan patted his son's head and thought how different he was from other saiyans, which wasn't that bad
"Yea, great work Goku, but what happened to your gi?" Asked Bulma who noticed the different clothes that Goku had
"Oh, this? Hehe nothing really I will tell you everything later" Said Goku as he looked at the upper part of the gi which wasn't his at all. Goku told everyone what happened with Pilaf and his gang. After Goku finished his story and continued to talk with Krillin, Yamcha walked close to Roshi
"Master Roshi?" Called the ex-bandit the martial artist name as he walked in his direction. He needed to ask him this if he ever thought of getting stronger and the old man was the one to ask
"Yes, Yamcha?"
"I wanted to ask you if... if you will train me for the next tournament" Spoke Yamcha as he clenched his fists and waited for the answer. Roshi remained quiet for a bit and two times stroke his beard before he answered the question
"Hmm... I'm sorry Yamcha, but I'm already stuck with Krillin"
"Please Master, I will do my best" Begged Yamcha who was willing to kneel on the ground if needed. He definitely needed to get stronger, he couldn't let Goku and Krillin get far ahead of him
"Yea c'mon old man, if you let Yamcha train I will pay him a visit and since is so hot on that island where you live, I could try my new bikini" Smirked Bulma as she winked at Roshi who's eyes almost pierced through his glasses. The old man tried to control himself as he imagined Bulma in nothing but bikini running on his island
"Alright, Yamcha you're in!" Yelled Roshi triumphantly while he tried to hold on his nosebleed while Bulma leaned on Yamcha and smiled
"That's great, Yamcha! You and I are gonna train together!" Exclaimed Krillin who was glad to have someone else with him and Yamcha seemed like a cool guy
"Yea... So what about you Goku?" Asked Yamcha who glanced at the young saiyan who just kept smiling
"I'm gonna train with my dad. I want to be strong just like him" Said Goku who almost yelled because how excited he was, the small saiyan could barely stand on the same spot
"You better train hard Goku, I can tell that you will need a lot of willpower to endure your father training" Stated Master Roshi who began to wonder how strong will Goku become by training with Bardock. He could sense the energy from the older saiyan, but there was a feeling which continued telling him that this current power was just a tip of the iceberg. Roshi snapped from his thoughts when he heard the voice of the saiyan
"Are you ready to go, Kakarot?" Asked Bardock who stood behind his son who glanced back at his father and nodded with a smile on his face
"Yes! Everybody train hard and see you at the tournament!" Exclaimed Goku who jumped on Nimbus and flew into the sky with Bardock flying by his side while he waved to his friends. Roshi and the others didn't wait any longer and started to run towards the Kame House so they could too, start with their three-year training
