Kakarot, Are You in the Hospital?

"You... how did you get back to Earth?" Krillin asked.

"Did you call just to ask me that?" Bulma replied with a smile.

Krillin didn't know what to say.

Confused, Krillin hung up.

Days passed one after another.

After nearly forty days of traveling through space, the spaceship finally reached Namek.

"Gohan, look. Is that Namek?" Krillin asked, taking Son Gohan by the hand.

"What a beautiful planet," Son Gohan exclaimed.

The spaceship slowly descended onto Namek.

"Creak!"

The spaceship's hatch opened.

Krillin and Son Gohan set foot on Namek.

"This place reminds me of where Uncle Piccolo and I trained," Son Gohan said.

"It's where we first fought that Saiyan, right?" Krillin replied. "Maybe fighting somewhere that feels like home will help us stay calm. It could be instinctive."

"Uncle Krillin, let's check the Dragon Radar," Son Gohan suggested.

"You're right. Let's see if there are any Dragon Balls nearby." Krillin took out the Dragon Radar and pressed a button.

The Dragon Radar showed the locations of seven Dragon Balls.

"There really are Dragon Balls here!" Krillin cried, both surprised and delighted.

"That's great!" Anticipation appeared on Son Gohan's face, too.

But as soon as Son Gohan finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look in the opposite direction.

"What's wrong, Gohan?" Krillin asked.

"Uncle Krillin, there are a lot of powerful ki signatures over there..." Son Gohan said.

Krillin immediately reached out with his senses, and sure enough, something seemed off in that direction.

"There are definitely a lot of ki signatures, and they're all very powerful. What's going on?" Krillin's expression changed as he ventured a guess. "Could they be Namekians?"

"They don't feel like Namekians... They feel evil," Son Gohan said.

"I sensed the evil, too. I only said that because I wanted to reassure myself."
