20. The riddle of Necard




Hebi Me: "Hah ... Hah! My goal has been reached! Now only one person can be dangerous to me and I'm stuck between the future and the past! Hahahaha!"


Hebi Me looked at the sky without even looking at Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks or Goths! He flew away into space! Hebi Me, however, had been so triumphant that he hadn't noticed how he had lost the medallion. Trunks had seen it and quickly got it.


Gohan: "Oh no! He's flying after the others!"


Son-Goths: "We can do nothing! We are powerless!"


Vegeta: "I just hate to watch and do nothing! Just horrible!"


Trunks: "I think ...!"


Gohan: "What?"


Trunks: "... they did it! Look there! The spaceship! They're coming back!"


Trunks was right! Fortunately, Hebi Me had already disappeared because the spaceship with the others appeared in the sky!They got off ...


Chichi: "Are you all right?"


Pan: "Doesn't look like it!"


Bra: "What happened?"


Gohan: "Hebi Me has sucked our energy out of us! Now we are ... weak!"


Bulma: "And now? Speaking of which ... where is Hebi Me?"


Trunks: "He flew off to look for you! You were really lucky!"


Gohan: "We have to do something, but first we have to free Dad because he's still in the medallion!"


Kuririn: "And how do we want to get him out of there?"


Vegeta: "Good question! The thing only works with the spell anyway!"


Gohan: "It doesn't have to be, because he said that Dad is caught between the future and the past! So there has to be another way!"


Pan: "Got it!"


Videl: "What do you have?"


Pan: "Think about it! He said between the future and the past! What's in between?"


Bulma: "Logo!"


Son-Goths: "Says! What?"

Pan: "Well the present!"


Gohan: "Sure! So Dad is somewhere in space, but at that time and the medallion only brought him there!"


Vegeta: "Now we know where Kakarot is, but we haven't found him yet!"


Kuririn: "That's right!"


Bulma: "We'll find him somehow, but we have to get out of here first, because if Hebi Me finds out that we've turned back and have his medallion, we're due!"


As fast as they could, they got into the spaceship and flew away!


Videl: "Where are we going now?"


Bulma: "Hmmm ... preferably on a planet that resembles Earth, because we have to fill up the oxygen tanks, have to get food and best of all we hide from Hebi Me for a while until we find out where Goku is ! "


Far, far away, Hebi Me flew through space. By now he had noticed that the spaceship had flown back. He was pissed off and offended for being so set up!Worst of all, he had noticed that he was missing the medallion! He had vowed to wipe this pack out! He wanted revenge! A few minutes later he reached the planet, which he found empty, which did not improve his mood! Out of anger and hate, the whole planet was reduced to rubble and ashes and went in search of this pack!


About 10 hours passed and the others had already found a planet where they could hide.


Bra: "And where do we sleep now?"


Bulma: "I think we have to be satisfied with a cave!"


Pan: "We don't have time to sleep! We have to find Grandpa before this Hebi Me finds us!"


Gohan: "Easily said, but we neither know where Father is, nor where to start looking!"


Bulma: "Maybe it has something to do with the symbols on the medallion, show me!"


Bulma took the medallion and withdrew to a quiet corner, where she stayed and studied the medallion for a relatively long time!

Trunks: "Ma, that doesn't make any sense anyway, how are you going to decipher the characters?


Trunks got no answer, which didn't really surprise him. Bulma wasn't the type to give up quickly and that's why she thinks about the signs until ...


Bulma: "Hmmm ... that's it!"


Videl: "Did you?"


Bulma: "Not quite, but almost!"


Chichi: "And what does that mean?"


Bulma: "Well, the characters consist of individual elements, but are arranged in a jigsaw puzzle. To find Son Goku, we have to connect the building blocks so that a planet name is created!"


Kuririn: "And what do the individual elements stand for?"


Bulma: "It consists of 12 elements that stand for the letters l, a, c, e, a, p, e, n, r, t, d and n."


Bra: "Great ... what now? How are we supposed to find out the tarpaulin name?"


Bulma: "Pay attention! If you put the elements p, l, a, n, e and t together, you get the word PLANET. That's why I also know that Goku is on a planet.There are still the elements c, a, e, r, d and n. Now we can enter the letters into the on-board computer of the spaceship and it will arrange them and find out what kind of planet there really is with these letters! "


Said and done! Bulma put in the elements and that's where the name NECARD came from!


Gohan: "NECARD! Is there supposed to be father there?"


Bulma: "This is the only planet!"


Vegeta: "How long do we need to get there?"


Bulma: "Uhh ... normally about 5 days!"


Son-Goten: "What? That takes too long! Until then Hebi Me can find us and then we don't need Paps anymore, because then we ...!"


Gohan: "It's clear, but we don't have any other spaceship!"


Bulma: "We don't have another spaceship, but we have a lot of capsules that contain vehicles and planes! With a little help, I could use parts from these machines to make the spaceship faster!"


Pan: "And how long does it take?"

Bulma: "About a day and then ... about half a day until we're on Necard!"


Videl: "That sounds better! Get to work!"


Bulma, Gohan, Videl and Trunks got down to work and dismantled and reinstalled all the parts, changed them, converted them ... It all looked a bit illogical to the others, but they thought they four would already know what they were doing! The hours passed and night had long since fallen and they were still working while the others slept! Around midnight, everyone was woken up by a loud engine noise from the spaceship!


Marron: "What's going on now?"


Bra: "Yawn ... what are you doing? We're sleeping!"


Bulma: "Not anymore!"


Bra: "I would have figured it out myself!"


Bulma: "Come on! Hopp! GET UP! The spaceship is ready! I don't think so! We work like stupid people and you sleep!"


Kuririn: "It's okay, it's okay! We're awake now!"

Gohan: "That's good! Then everyone in the spaceship!"


Somewhat grumpy, but in a good mood, everyone boarded the spaceship and in a monkey tooth they took off and flew to the planet Necard!


Bulma: "Vegeta, you take the wheel, I'll lie on my ear first!"


Videl: "I'll join you there!"


Vegeta had taken the helm and it had been a few hours before ...


Bra: "You dad? What is that?"


Vegeta: "What?"


Bra: "Uhh ... the cracks!"


Bra pointed to a couple of large cracks in the walls of the spaceship. Vegeta looked at her too and somehow he didn't have a good feeling about it. By now the others had noticed the cracks too.


Gohan: "I don't like it! Pan, please wake Bulma and Videl!"


Pan: "I will!"


Pan went into the next room and woke them up.


Bulma: "What's going on?"


Bra: "Look Ma! Those weird cracks!"


Videl: "They look really weird and they keep getting bigger!"

Bulma: "Oh you sh ...! Vegeta, how much longer do we need?"


Vegeta: "Another hour."


Bulma: "Now we have a problem!"


C18: "What is it?"


Bulma: "When we rebuilt the spaceship, we had to replace some defective parts and since the extra stable walls were unfavorable, we exchanged them for walls of normal thickness, because you only need them when the external pressure in space is quite high. Here appears the pressure to be very high and therefore the walls are tearing open. We have to land immediately. Have a look how far the next planet with a constant atmosphere is! "


Videl: "The next planet with a constant atmosphere is ... oh no, ... Necard!"


Gohan: "What? I think we really have a problem now!"


Bulma: "We have to accelerate the spaceship, otherwise ...!"


Trunks: "Better not say!"


Chichi: "How should that work?"


Bulma: "A Kamehame-Ha wouldn't be bad now, just by whom?"

Pan: "Stupid question, Paps, Vegeta, Trunks and Son-Goten are canceled, there just stay ... me!"


Bulma: "Can you do it?"


Pan: "Are you going to insult me?"


Gohan: "Well then, fire free!"


Pan: "How should I just shoot a hole in the spaceship now?"


Bulma: "Why not! The main thing is that you shoot in that direction and have enough strength to shoot us to Necard!"


Pan: "Well then ...!"


Gohan: "Everyone under cover!"


Pan got ready and fired a huge Kamehame-Ha while the others made their way to the other corner of the spaceship. The Kamehame-Ha pierced the wall of the spaceship and the mail went off at an incredibly fast pace!


Bulma: "Ahhhh !!!! I think we'll be there soon!"


The Kamehame-Ha went out and they raced towards a planet (Necard, of course).


Boum !!! A cloud of dust swirls up. The spaceship was just a heap of junk, but everyone had survived the rapid ride and the gentle landing to some degree.
