Gohan nodded at that, then Roshi continued. "Fortunately, I found refuge in the mountains, where I continued my training as best as I could. But as the years passed, I lost hope and begun to feel the weight of my solitude. But then one day, that hope returned when my mentor Mutaito found me again. He had spent his time away strengthening his abilities, and in doing so, discovered a way to defeat King Piccolo for good. By trapping King Piccolo in something called the Evil Containment Wave. A powerful magical ability allowing you to ensnare any entity of pure evil in its wake into a specifically made physical container. For King Piccolo, my master acquired an electric cooking jar which he imprisoned Piccolo's essence and body. He had been defeated once and for all, sealed away from the rest of the world. But the energy it took to accomplish that required my master to use his own life force and died from the battle. He had regained his honor, and saved the people of Earth by giving his life..." Roshi closed his moisture-clouded eyes as a tear fell. Gine never imagined this pervert, could hold such pain and history.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and finished his tale. "As for Piccolo, I obeyed my master's final wish and threw the jar into the sea so he could never escape. No one has seen or heard of Piccolo since... until today."

"Oh no!" Chiaotzu realized. "What if Crane Hermit found it and opened it again?!"

Roshi turned to them, "No, Shen more than anyone knows the danger of releasing King Piccolo from his prison."

"But Master, the note and the description of the monster suggests that it could be one of Piccolo's minions." Said Yamcha.

Now everyone else was worried, that Piccolo was bad enough without an army.

"Where did you say those mountains were?" Asked Oolong half-jokingly.

"If that is the case, then Kakarot is in grave danger..." Gohan whispered.

Gine looked at him despairingly. She could believe the horror this Piccolo had caused for Roshi and Gohan to feel frightened. This planet was full of surprises. If someone as powerful as them felt as if they were no match for Piccolo, then she started to regret letting her son go on his own.

"What will we do if the monsters come back?!" Panicked Puar.

"This is horrible." Said Turtle, sinking into despair.

"Even if King Piccolo is responsible, there's a chance Kakarot won't be able to find him." Added Tien.

"Don't bet on it pal, that's why he took Bulma's dragon radar." Launch said.

But then that raised another question. One which Roshi asked himself aloud.

"What's he after? I understand taking the Dragon Ball. But why steal a list of the Martial Arts Society."

"Wait a minute!" Shouted Tien. "What's all this talk about dragons? Or radars, or balls! What's that got to do with anything?!"

There was a collective sigh, they haven't explained the Dragon Balls to Tien or Chiaotzu yet.

"Kakarot, what are you getting yourself into..." Roshi said. Then thought for a long moment...

"AGH!" He exclaimed in horrific realization. "That's why they took that list!"

"You don't need to shout, I'm right here!" Complained Oolong but Roshi ignored him.

"It was King Piccolo! Somehow, he must've escaped. Knowing that it was a fighter who used the Evil Containment Wave to trap him in his prison, he stole the list to learn of his enemies."

"I get it!" Said Yamcha. "With a phonebook of his enemies he could easily track them down!"

"And he guards against the Waves by killing those who know how to use it!" Finished Tien.

"Exactly!"

"If only there was some way to warn Kakarot before it's too late." Realized Gohan, but then knew it was futile. After this much time figuring out the responsible party for Krillin's demise, Kakarot could be anywhere over a hundred miles of where they were now.

"Oh no..." Bulma said in despair. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him the dragon radar."

"It isn't your fault... Kakarot made his own choice, as did Krillin." Said Roshi mournfully. "There's no excuses, it's just fate."

"What the hell is wrong with all of you?!" Gine suddenly said.

They all started at her agape.

"You sound like you've given up already!" She said in outrage.

"I'm sorry, but Kakarot is most likely gone." Roshi said.

"That's not true! How could you say such a thing when he just barely left or found his body!" She pressed, disgust in her voice but frightened by that idea. Oolong joined in too.

"Why do you expect Kakarot to fail? You should have more faith in him!"

"That's right!" Added Puar.

Roshi nodded, "I agree that there is always a chance, but there is not much more that we can do but return to my island. We have to bury Krillin, the rest can wait."

Gine couldn't stand any of this defeatist talk. Yamcha couldn't either. "I never thought I could hate someone I never met before, but King Piccolo is an animal! Once I'm through with him, he'll wish he just stayed in that jar!"

Bulma wheeled around to face her boyfriend. "You sound like Kakarot, what's wrong with you?! That monster is too powerful! You'll just get yourself killed too!"

Yamcha looked at her seriously, "That list he took has my name on it, Bulma. And I'm not just going to sit around and let him find me!" He then turned to the rest of the gang.

"Chi-Chi, Tien, and Chiaotzu. You're all on the list too. Even if Kakarot does fail, this Piccolo will come after us either way.

Bulma looked defeated, but Yamcha was right.

"At least he'll never hunt for pigs! We're cute!" Quipped Oolong. But Bulm

a raged at him. "YOU'LL END UP THE MAIN COURSE ON HIS DINNER TABLE, YOU OINKER!"
