and wants to teleport. But Vegeta holds onto his arm. "Stop, wait!" he says softly.
24 looks at him. "Yes?"
Vegeta grabs tighter. "Don't tell anyone else that I ... That I ..." Vegeta somehow can't bring himself to say the last words.
"That you cried?" ends the sentence and Vegeta nods grimly."It's okay, nobody will find out about it. But what about Kame and Son - Goku? They also saw how you cried."
Vegeta lets go of 24. "They won't reveal anything, because I'll take care of them too ..." growls Vegeta, annoyed by 24's interjection.
"As you mean ..." 24 says in his indifferent voice and teleports back into Krillin's and C18's room, which he shares with the two of them.

Some time later everyone comes together at a very large table in restaurant no. 3, all dressed in very fine suits and elegant evening gowns, even Vegeta and Son-Goku have dressed up splendidly. Nevertheless, none of them seem to be in a really exuberant mood, and after the events of Son Goku, Kame, Vegeta and Bulma have been described, albeit very sparingly, a leaden listlessness spreads in everyone. Vegeta, Kame and Son - Goku in particular are very silent, they hardly say a word, but rather go on about the food in silence, and the others do not act any differently, they hardly ever say a word.The other fighters apparently keep their distance from Vegeta, he is repeatedly glanced at from the corner of his eye, and no one except 24 has dared to sit next to him - a circumstance that Vegeta quietly accepted ...

Son - Gohan clears his throat. "How about we take a look at the disco on the B - deck afterwards? It's supposed to be hot there today, a second reception for the new guests, so to speak." he suggests when he can no longer stand the silence at the table. However, he doesn't sound too enthusiastic himself.
"I'll come with you and have a look." says Videl, but, like Gohan, doesn't sound very convinced. "Maybe it will be fun after all ..."
Son - Goku gets up and looks around. "Friends, I think I'm going to bed. Somehow I don't feel very special ..." He steps away from the chair and walks towards the large swing door that leads out of the restaurant and to the cabins. Chichi and Son-Goten follow him after a few seconds, avoiding the other happy guests of the restaurant.Finally the group dissolves more and more until only Videl, Gohan and 24 are sitting at the table. This time 24 had refrained from listing the calories of the food that the fighters were eating, and Gohan was sincerely grateful to him.
Videl looks at her watch. It is 8:42 p.m. She turns to Gohan. "How's it going, Son - Gohan, are you coming to the disco?"
"Yeah, I'll come with you, but I'll go back to our room first, I forgot my watch there." he says after a glance at his left wrist tells him that.
"Ok, if you don't mind, I'll go ahead and wait for you in the disco. If there's nothing going on there, I can always let you know, okay?"
Gohan gets up from his chair. “Yeah, it's okay.” He turns to the cyborg. "24, what are you doing tonight?"
24 also rises. "I'll take another closer look at the fitness room, maybe I'll discover a clue that will give us the answer to the question why Goku, Kame and Vegeta have such hallucinations.After all, that's where it all started. "
"All right, good luck with your search. See you later ..." says Gohan, and strangely enough, he suddenly no longer feels like going to the disco. Kame finally had her "experience" there ...
"Gohan, I'll see you later! I'll be in the disco then," says Videl happily, and all three of them leave the table and head for the exit. While Gohan and 24 go left, Videl takes the right fork.
"Son - Gohan, should I use the instant teleportation to get you to your cabin faster?" asks 24 after Videl disappeared into the next stairwell.
Gohan waves it away. "Nah, 24, let's go, I'll go around a little longer and take a look at the ship. The cabin isn't too far away."
24 brings the fingers to the temple. “I see.” And barely a second later, he's gone.

Gohan goes to the stairwell and heads for the lower deck, the deck on which our friends' cabins are.But instead of heading directly to his cabin, he goes into the atrium that extends almost from the lowest deck of the ship to the sun deck.
The light floods brightly through this large hall, many people are standing at the lowest point and waiting in front of the entrance of the theater to be admitted.
Son - Gohan briefly toyed with the idea of ​​going to the theater with Videl, but today only the greeting for the new guests should take place, so nothing extraordinary - Son - Gohan did not want to find out about the details of the trip or the details of the ship but just relax ... The whole thing was also intended as a kind of "housewarming" especially for the older guests, and he didn't necessarily want to sit between old grannies and bored moneybags ...
He turns away and instead looks at the artistic oil paintings on the walls. Picasso, Van Gogh, da Vinci and other pictures by well-known artists are hung here, sinfully expensive and unique.Gohan takes another look at the breathtakingly beautiful fountain on the floor of the atrium with interest before a sudden and loud bang and the numerous clinking of broken pieces startle him.
"Damn it, SIMON, can't you ONCE pay attention?!?" you can hear a woman's voice roaring loud and angry.
Son - Gohan walks towards the corner behind which the noises could be heard.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry, but this tray was way too heavy for me!" a male voice replies in an apologetic tone.
Gohan turns the corner, but beyond that there is only a long corridor without doors, which leads into another 90 - degree bend to the right. He walks on curiously.
"Because of heavy, what are 50 glasses of champagne? You idiot, clean up the mess immediately, or the boss will have a fit!" the woman's voice continues to moan, and Son - Gohan inevitably thinks of Chichi. He's smiling inwardly.
"Yes, it's okay ..." you can hear the man's voice sigh before a door slams shut.Gohan late around the corner where all the noise was coming from. But the corridor is shrouded in complete darkness ...
"Huh?" it slips from Gohan. "Strange, the screaming could be heard right around this corner ... Strange ..." he thinks confused. "And I should have noticed the darkness too, it is noticeable when you walk into a corridor with complete darkness ... And at the corner I should have seen it immediately ... Strange ..."
He turns and walks back down the corridor that leads to the atrium. But no sooner has he covered a third of the corridor than the lamps installed in the ceiling at the beginning of the corridor go out one by one.
Son - Gohan is amazed at this spectacle and stops. Finally the last lamp in the corridor goes out and he is plunged into complete darkness. Even the directional lights on the floor, which should show the way out in the event of a fire or the like, do not light up."Great, a power failure ..." he thinks sourly.
He begins to feel along the wall. "It's not that far, just a few meters ... And when I have the corner behind me, I come to the atrium, there is enough light there that I can see something again ..."
He moves slowly along the wall until he feels resistance right in front of him - a wall.
"Wonderful. Let's see, I have to turn left now, then I'm almost at the atrium ..."
Son - Gohan feels his way to the left and along the wall. Here the darkness is just as complete as in the previous passage. "Damn it, you can't see any light from the atrium either. Has the light gone out on the whole deck? Nice shit ..." he thinks angrily.
He gropes his way cautiously. After a short while he comes across another wall. Gohan feels the wall to his right, but after just under half a meter he comes across another wall that is at right angles to the other wall.So it's only going to the left ...
Son - Gohan gropes his way - and hits a wall again. "What the hell? Am I too stupid to feel the way into the atrium around two corners?" thinks Gohan with grim humor. "After all, let's just keep following the wall ..."
But after what it seems to him, he barely touches another wall five meters - and this also leads him to the left ...
"Do you mean I was running in circles the whole time?" Son - Gohan shoots it through the head. "But I only walked around two corners!" He gropes his way with a frown ... And ends again at a wall, the passage of which leads at a 90 - degree angle to the left ... The walls lead him around in a circle .. .
As if he were ...
Walled in ...
A slight goosebump goes through him when he thinks about it ...
"Oh man, it doesn't help! I have to provide a little light myself ..." he thinks, noticeably pissed off, and wants to concentrate his energy on a Super Saiyan transformation.Suddenly, however, before he could even begin to concentrate his energy, a small light flickered in the darkness a few meters in front of him. It comes off the floor and is covered by something ... Somebody apparently turned on a flashlight and stupidly stood in front of it.
The light goes out just as quickly as it started, only to flicker again a short time later - and go off again - and come on again ...
Son - Gohan walks towards this small source of light. As he gets closer, he realizes what these strange "plays of light" mean. A little girl with shoulder-length hair is sitting on the floor with her back to him and flashlight.
"Um ... sorry, please!" says Gohan gently. But the girl does not react.
"Hey little one, are you all right?" asks Son - Gohan a little louder and comes closer. The girl still shows no reaction, but continues to play around with the lamp. The soft click of the flashlight switch can be heard - but nothing else at all, not even the ship's engines or the babble of voices from the atrium ...Son - Gohan suddenly has a cold run down his back, but he can't explain why ... It's just a
