But..." He went on, reluctantly. "He also knew it was better to stand up for what was right, than to just stand back and do nothing. Even if it meant making the greatest sacrifice."

Gine softened her expression. She remembered the pain she saw in his eyes from telling the tale of his former master, of how he defended his honor and gave his life to save the Earth.

"We could really use your help, Master." She said softly, sure to respect his title. As much as she thought of her strength as a Saiyan, and being able to call herself the strongest for the first time in her life, she still held him and this Mutaito in high respect as a warrior. Something she had learned greatly from Gohan.

He opened his eyes and looked at her with acceptance and urgency. "Then what are we waiting for?" He asked, smiling.

They all moved quickly to pack up into one of the large Capsule Corp jets that Bulma had on hand.

Once they got everything they needed and Krillin's body safely stowed aboard, Roshi pressed a button on the inside of the house and ran out as fast as he could. Moments later, Kame House disappeared into a puff of smoke, and all that stood in its place of a grass patch on the island was a capsule that could rest in the palm of Gine's hand. She was still astounded that humans had come up with this kind of technology to compact literally anything into a small space for easy transport. The possibilities of something like this in the Frieza Force would've been far too numerous for her to count, but she set that thought aside.

"Ready?" Bulma asked from the copilot's seat as Gine, Gohan, and Roshi were the last ones to board the jet.

"Ready!" Roshi answered back.

"Alright, punch it!" Bulma shouted to Launch in the pilot's seat, and the blonde-haired fury started the engines.

Gine had a sudden sense of Deja Vu as the jet shuddered, the engines spooling up with a piercing whine. In a moment, they hovered off the ground.

"Hold on to your butts!" Launch shouted as she jammed the controls forward, and suddenly they blasted off at supersonic speed towards the horizon...

...

Gine's stomach dropped out within her from the acceleration, and she immediately felt as if she was back at the day she had escape Planet Vegeta with Kakarot.

She looked out the window expecting to the see the magenta-red desert landscape of her home world- scratch that, former home world, receding away from her a blinding speed until it became nothing but a dot indiscernible against the backdrop of billions of other stars. Bardock, the love and light of her life, standing there watching them go as she gazed at him for what would be the very last time. While she, frightened and alone with nothing but her baby boy, were sent out into the darkness of space to whatever fate awaited them.

But instead, she saw nothing but the endless expanse of the blue ocean below. The tiny spit of Master Roshi's island shrinking in the distance behind them, rather slowly since supersonic wasn't a speed she found impressive with her ability to fly. But she stared after the island until it was a dot, then lost to the sea. Deja Vu indeed, she thought wearily.

"Missing the island already?" Chi-Chi said from her seat across the aisle from Gine. She snapped out of her reverie and looked at the young-woman embarrassed.

"Oh, no. Just... remembering things." Gine said, quietly.

"Like what?" Chi-Chi asked curiously.

Gine shook her head. "Never mind." She said curtly. Gine didn't feel like talking about that day to her, yet. Gohan glanced at her understandingly.

Chi-Chi stared at Gine, seeming to pick up her sullen mood and her not wanting to pursue the subject, so the girl looked away as she decided to change the subject.

"I hope Kakarot is okay, he won't be able to find us if he tries to go to the island." She said, worryingly.

Gine then started to think the same thing. Oh, she knew her son could take care of himself, but her maternal instincts never let up on endlessly fretting about his well-being. She thought she'd be used to this by now with him running off on his adventures the past four years, but there was still something that kept her worrying.

"I'm sure he'll be fine. He is trying to find the Dragon Balls as we and Piccolo are, so I'm sure we'll cross paths sooner or later." Gine reasoned, trying to sound assuring. She then mentally kicked herself for her not thinking of telling Kakarot to head back to Paozu if he couldn't find them.

No use regretting that, she thought. And as she said, they'll see each other again eventually.

When they reached cruising altitude, Bulma unbuckled herself from the copilot seat and stepped down towards where Krillin's body lay on the floor. Gine glanced at him and saw Bulma get to work on some yellow metal container she was assembling near Krillin which she assumed was a freezer capsule. Gine thought that blue-haired girl always had to keep her hands busy.

"We're gonna need a lot more of those freezer capsules!" Launch said as she piloted the jet.

"Aw, come on, that's not very funny, Launch." Said Turtle. Then Roshi coughed to get their attention.

"I'm glad you are all here. Gine, Gohan, and Tien. We'll need all of your strengths." He said gratefully.

Yamcha realized Roshi didn't mention him. "What about me? I can still fight!"

"You still have a broken leg, Yamcha. I know you are determined to help, but your injuries might slow you down or leave yourself vulnerable in a fight." Roshi objected.
