The three gathered together again.
Tien Shinhan and Yamcha clenched their teeth and stared silently at the sheepish Krillin.
They had singled Krillin out to attack, but what were they supposed to do when they could not beat him?
Tien Shinhan and Yamcha had no way to blame Krillin. Were they supposed to fault him for kicking too hard and sending a perfectly healthy alien crashing into the ground hard enough to make a huge crater?
