Kami's eyes widened suddenly as Piccolo frowned, feeling something terrible going on as the older Namekian gazed over the side of the lookout with a sad expression.

"These new developments are most unsettling Mr. Popo..." Kami said, his tone laced with worry as he continued to stare down while observing everything that was happening below.

"Yes Kami..." Mr. Popo sighed, hoping that his friend would not have to give up his title as Gaurdian of the Earth.

"Haven't you gotten tired of standing there yet?" Piccolo questioned, smirking to himself as he knew the older man had to just be buying time... "You're just wasting your time you know... You can watch events unfold as long as you like, it won't change anything. We're still going to have to combine our powers to fight the androids..."

Kami sighed, figuring it was about time he started being honest with his other half... Starting with telling him about what was coming for them all soon...

"For the last four years I have felt a terrible disturbance taking shape on the Earth below..." Kami said, a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face as he continued to feel the pain and suffering of this planet. "A great evil... But I'm afraid it wasn't the androids that I sensed..."

"Huh?" Piccolo frowned, turning around as he looked at the older Namekian who still had his back to him.

"There is another threat... A vile creature which I'm afraid will prove to be a hundred times more lethal and cunning than even the androids..." Kami sighed, closing his eyes as he wondered how they would all survive the horrors that were coming...

"What are you talking about?! Explain yourself right now, you hear me?!" Piccolo growled, standing up and walking towards Kami as he grabbed his shoudler to turn him around.

"I'm sure that they will come when I give up being Gaurdian of the Earth..." Kami stated, continuing to ignore Piccolo's question as he thought about how the Acaiians would play into this... "Then and only then, can we ever unite to fight as one!" He finished seriously, turning around quickly as Piccolo stepped back.

"Rrgh..."

"Piccolo..." Kami warned, looking at the other man seriously before speaking. "We will wait for this new evil to surface... And you will trust me... I know what is best for the Earth..." Kami went on, holding his walking stick tightly as he thought about those he could not save. "But until I know exactly what we're dealing with, I cannot make my decision..."

...

In the mountains near Goku's house...

...

Both Acaiians flew in silence, Kaito leading the way as Luna couldn't help but glance at him every now and then to make sure he was really there. I can't believe it... Luna thought, unable to wipe the grin off her face despite the situation they were all in right now. Wait until I tell Piccolo about this...

Kaito descended suddenly, both of them landing in a grassy field somewhere in the middle of a large forrest that Luna had flown over numerous times.

"I can't believe you've been so close all this time..." Luna mumbled, realizing it hadn't been that long since they'd left Goku's. "How long have you all been trying to find me?"

"We knew you were being held on Frieza's ship..." Kaito said with a frown, remembering the numerous stragedies they had come up with to try and rescue her. "But his elite fighters were just too strong for any of us, even Ryuuto... Then we heard about what had happened on Namek..."

"What?! How?"

"We had one of the scouters Frieza and his men used that Ryuuto got from Kami knows where..." Kaito mumbled, wondering how the old man continued to pull off everything he did. "Anyway, we were monitoring all his messages about everything that was happening... Until the planet exploded..." The silver haired man said in amusement, scratching his chin as he remembered that terrifying day.

"Then what?!" Luna said eagerly, snapping him out of his thoughts as he chuckled.

"Well, we thought you were gone..." He answered seriously, letting out a sigh before remembering who he really had to thank. "Then, one ship showed up on our radar..."

"It must have been Goku!"

Kaito nodded, pulling a cigarette out of his pack as he snapped his fingers in front of the end to light it. "You got it. We figured there was still the smallest chance you could have escaped, so we tracked his ship all the way to Yardrat, then followed him here to Earth. All we found when we arrived was a crater... So we've been here looking for you ever since." He finished, looking down at Luna who seemed to be taking in everything he had just said.

"Wow... I can't believe it..."

"And I never would have found you if it wasn't for whatever this is..." Kaito said in confusion, pulling a tiny piece of plastic out of his pocket before handing it back to his friend.

"My drivers license!" Luna cheered, looking at the small card happily while Kaito raised an eyebrow. "I'll explain later..." She laughed, looking around excitedly before finally spotting the huge temple up ahead.

"Come on." Kaito chuckled, knowing their princess was excited to see the others as they made their way up the stone path.

...

Back with Gohan and the others...

...

Chi Chi and Gohan worked on his studies, Goku actually sleeping soundly for once as everyone else was absorbed in their own thoughts until the plane's phone suddenly started ringing...

"What is that?" Trunks asked in confusion, hearing the strange music that was playing from the speakers as everyone looked at him in surprise.

"What is what?" Yamcha questioned, not sure of what he meant.

"This music..." Trunks trailed off, continuing to listen to the song as Krillin raised an eyebrow.

"You mean country music?"

"Oh! This is country music?" Trunks replied, finally understanding what his mother was talking about."What, you don't have country in the future?" Krillin asked, wondering why that of all things would be affected so greatly.

"No... Shortly after I was born it all just... Vanished..." The Saiyan explained, looking down as he thought back on all the things the people in his timeline had learned to live without. "Nobody knows exactly what happened..."

"So someone wanna get that?" Yamcha said, glancing back at them all briefly before returning his attention to the skies in front of him. "Kinda flying the plane..."

"Aw, fine..." Krillin mumbled, jumping into the passenger seat before pressing the button to answer the call. "Krillin speak-"

"Shut up I've got some important news..." Bulma said quickly, cutting the bald fighter off before he had time to finish his sentence."Good or bad news?""It depends... Is Trunks there?" She asked worriedly, sitting down as she glanced at the baby that was sleeping in the crib across from her.

"He's right behind me..." Krillin answered, wondering what was up as he pressed the button to put her on speaker phone. "You're on speaker so go ahead and say whatever you need to tell him."

"Well, I just got the strangest call from some farmer in the countryside fifty miles out of Ginger Town..." The blue haired scientist said curiously, looking at the picture in her hands as she wondered herself what was going on. "He said he found one of our vehicles out there..."

"Wow this is so interesting..." Krillin said sarcastically, sincerely hoping this wasn't one more problem on the list of things they had to worry about. "Does it have anything to do with the androids we're fighting?"

"Shut up and it might." Bulma hissed, walking over to her desk as she placed the picture in her fax machine. "I'm faxing over the picture he took..."

"You have a fax machine?" Krillin asked, surprised anyone still used those as Trunks seemed confused as well.

"What's a fax machine?"

"Ya see that one makes sense-"

"Just shut up and show it to Trunks!" Bulma said, her tone irritated as she waited for them to tell her whether or not the ship in the picture was his.

"W-what?" Trunks said in shock, grabbing the photo out of Krillin's hand as he took a better look at it. "No... This can't be right... This is my time machine..." He said, not believing the words coming out of his own mouth as he looked at the one in the photo that was obviously very aged and damaged. "How is this possible?!"

"Maybe you missplaced it?" Krillin suggested, watching as the purple haired Saiyan looked up at him with a frown.

"That's impossible... I put it away in it's capsule!"

"Are you sure?" Gohan asked, all of them knowing very well it was easy to make a mistake.

"Of course I'm sure!" Trunks said confidently, pulling his case of capsules out of his pocket as he opened it up before finding the one that contained his time machine. "Here just let me show you..." He said quickly, clicking the unlock button as everyone looked at him with wide eyes.

"No!"

"Oh no..."

"Oh my god!" Krillin shouted, Chi Chi's screaming filling everyone's ears as the plane tilted heavily to one side. "It's on top of Goku!"

"Dad!"

"Put it back! Put it back! Put it back!"

"Aaaaahhhhh! Aaaahhhghhhhh!" Goku wailed, Yamcha sighing from the front seat of the plane as he struggled to even them out before they crashed.

"Oh good, that's back..."
