they didn't know how to use their energy.Did he have a special technique? Vegeta coughed again and spat again blood, then fell asleep. And this time he was sure that he would not wake up again ...




"There is only one way to find out what happened ..." said the young Kaioshin and everyone except his ancestor stared at him. Then he continued, "If it has anything to do with time and the different dimensions, the keeper of the Temple of Termina knows about it!" Huh? What should that be again now? Guardian? Temple? Great, they only understood the train station! The Kaioshin must have noticed, because he was now starting to explain everything to them ...


"Termina is a world that is at the center of all dimensions. All time levels converge there ... There is a temple there that contains one of the most important existing objects! It is the temple of time ... And this one The object is called the time key!It enables travel between dimensions and in time ... when used correctly. But he still has a job. He keeps the borders stable ... Without him everything would flow into each other ... And I'm afraid that is exactly what is happening! I ask you ... check that everything is right there! We Kaioshins are not allowed to enter Termina under any circumstances! "Aha, that was it. Someone else would probably have thought that the weird guy with the white hair was ripe for the slap, but Son-Goku and his friends had just experienced too much crazy to explain the Kaioshin as somehow strange Of course, they immediately agreed to comply with the Kaioshin's request. There was only one small problem ... "Uh ... And how do we get there? "Son-Goku had voiced the question that also preoccupied his son and Piccolo." No problem. We can open a gate for you ... Just one more thing: stay away from the strange spherical plants!They are extremely dangerous ... "


When the three of them went through the 'gate', which looked more like a white veil of fog, they first felt an unbelievable coldness ... then they had the feeling of falling. Swirls of color ... An unbearably high-pitched whistle ... A hard landing. Then they were in exactly the same strange plane as Vegeta a short time ago ... They also saw the strange 'balloon plants', as Gohan baptized them. And in the distance was the pyramid ... You were presented with a completely different picture than Vegeta before. When he came here, the top of the pyramid was wrapped in a glowing sphere that cast a warm light on the plain surrounding it. But now ... what they saw was more like a thundercloud. They all knew instinctively that something was wrong there. None of them could explain this feeling, but they were still sure. Without a doubt they flew towards this pyramid, so they couldn't get too close to the plants either.

Everything was going well until Piccolo suddenly gave a choked scream and put his hand to his chest as if he had been shot. He got deeper and deeper and finally fell ... He touched some of the plants that exploded immediately. Goku and Gohan no longer had a chance to catch him. When the fireballs finally broke up, the two looked for their Namekian friend. Then they found him too. Thank God he hadn't gotten anything from the exploding plants and he didn't seem to have any injuries from the crash, but he was still not doing well. He lay trembling on the floor and gasped desperately ... And when they looked into his eyes, there was just pure fear ... They had never seen Piccolo like this before. They didn't know such panic attacks from him. They had to carry him the rest of the way, only when they reached the pyramid did he regain control ...


As they were about to enter the entrance hall, lightning struck from the cloud close to them.They then hurried all the more to finally get in ... Inside they were amazed at the reflective floor and the starry sky-like something above them. There were a few torches here and there, giving off a sparse but warm light. Piccolo winced ... There it was again, that stabbing pain in his chest. This time he forced himself to be calm. He walked a little behind his two companions and hoped that if they were to turn around they would not notice his pained face in the semi-darkness. They went straight ahead and soon stood in front of the relief in which the stranger had inserted the last part. Here it went no further ... And there was nothing else that might be of interest in this strange hall. They stood perplexed in front of the relief, which had now been destroyed again. The pieces were scattered all around her ... Suddenly someone spoke to her from behind, "Are you the wrongdoers who have opened the sacred chamber?"They spun around ... Damn it! They hadn't noticed that someone had sneaked up on them. They weren't that careless otherwise ... But the person standing behind them didn't look the least bit dangerous. It was an old man A stooped man with long white hair and a beard like that. He wore simple gray clothes and he supported himself with his right hand on a gnarled stick, the thickened end of which protruded a little beyond his head. Piccolo tried to answer him, but couldn't get a sound out of it His neck was still tight. The old man stared at him in amazement ... Damn it, why did he do that?! Piccolo felt more uncomfortable than ever ... Finally Gohan said, "No." The Kaioshin asked us to look after the right thing ... He was of the opinion that the strange occurrences could have their origin here! "The old man ran his hand through his beard and averted his gaze from Piccolo. Finally." Well, my young friend ... That may well be.The Kaioshin you say If I'm properly informed, there are two at the moment ... A young greenhorn ... and a wise old one ... Which of the two sent you? "The old man's voice was rough and dry, but not unfriendly, on the contrary. Probably it was just his age ... Probably that is why there was an unmistakable wisdom. All of a sudden, Gohan had great respect for him. . "The old ..." - "So? I'm surprised ... well, he'll have his reasons! Now follow me into the chamber ... Let's look together at the destruction caused by these vandals. "He raised his staff, the upper end glowed and the parts scattered on the floor rose and formed themselves again on the wall into the relief with the sun symbol ... The crack appeared, the door opened and the bright white Light flooded them. The three were amazed. A door! They certainly would not have expected that ... The old man waddled slowly through the door in front of them, leaning heavily on his staff.The first thing they saw when their eyes got used to the light was ... "Vegeta !!!" they all shouted at the same time. He looked terrible ... and he was barely breathing. Goku rushed to him and put his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. "Piccolo, Gohan ... You continue here! I'm taking Vegeta to the Kaioshin ... Hopefully he also took over his healing powers when he merged with Kibito. Otherwise you can find me at Dende ..." And he was already using the current teleportation to help Vegeta as soon as possible. At the same moment the old man began to scream. Gohan thought the appearance of his father would have frightened him, but then saw that it was something completely different ... "This heretic ... He destroyed the time key! That is the worst that could happen!" He said from Vegeta? But in his condition he was surely no longer able to destroy anything ... The old man had calmed down in the meantime. Or rather, he was under control again.And when he spoke to Gohan and Piccolo, his voice was completely normal again. "Go back and tell the Kaioshin about this tragedy ... I can't leave the temple under any circumstances! And should he decide to take the last resort and send you on a search, then by all means take your friend in the blue clothes with ... What was his name? "-" Vegeta ... "-" Exactly. Then take this Vegeta with you. And you, Namekians, should go too. I feel that you have a good reason to do so. "Come on! It's urgent!" Another glow from the staff, and they stood in front of the Kaioshin again. The two stayed very calm. They had really experienced stranger things than being teleported from one place to another. When they arrived they noticed immediately that Goku was already there, and Vegeta too. He was fine again and so they assumed that Kibito's healing powers had been retained during the merger. Piccolo, who was surprisingly better now, began to talk about the events ...

His report worried the old Kaioshin deeply ... the time key was destroyed! Nothing could now separate the dimensions from one another. The old man took several deep breaths ... Everyone had the impression that he knew something that he did not like to reveal ... "Venerable ancestor ... If you know something that could help ... Please tell us!" - " You are really still very young and ignorant ... There is actually a power that might still be able to help ... but I would not like to put it in the hands of these children! "-" Who do you call 'children', old man? "Barely regained strength, Vegeta was lovable as always ... He had completely forgotten how much he had wished for the others, how desperate he had been. "I'm only saying so much, you greenhorn ..." Son-Goku couldn't help but look at Piccolo and grin. He knew the Kaioshin was referring to Vegeta, but ... Well, that was just TOO fitting! The old man went on to say, "Go on a search.It doesn't matter where you start ... If you're ready, you'll find what you're looking for! And definitely take this little earth god with you too. It should be important ... Now go! Time is running out!"


Ah, wonderful! This time they were not only allowed to save the earth or their universe, no this time it had to be all damn universes that existed! Couldn't it be a size bigger, huh? And the tips from the senile old geezer were very helpful too ... Search. Class. He didn't even tell them WHAT or WHERE to look ... And
