"What on earth happened?" Gohan asked even more confused.

"Remember the ship was attacked and we lost one of the engines. You and Seventeen tried to get us out of the field and away from the planet with only the other two engine," Videl said sitting down next to Gohan.

"Yeah I remember that but nothing after until waking up with a splitting headache and rolling off this bed," Gohan said

"The consoles that you and Seventeen were at exploded and you were thrown back and hit the wall behind us. We managed to get out of the cylinders and get to you two, Seventeen woke up pretty soon but you didn't and when Seventeen looked at you and said that you'd hit your head really hard and would be out for a long time."

*Gohan frowned at that I must have knocked a pressure point or something cause there's no way that just hitting my head would have kept me out that long not with my dad's blood in me*

"After that Seventeen began to lead us to the escape pod but we were ambushed before we could get there. There were two main guys a big guy who had Seventeen in a headlock and another one they seemed to be in charge and they were the only ones who could speak the same language as us. They told us only elites and royals could speak the universal language. Then there were five other guys who were the ones who brought us here. We sat around for a while then they brought us lunch and then we sat around doing nothing again until you woke up." Videl finished.

"And the big guy was called Nappa and the other one in charge was called Toma," Sharpner added.

Gohan's head snapped up tow look at the trio sitting next to him *That's not possible there's no way Nappa is strong enough to hold Seventeen unless … Hang on Videl said he came to really quickly but if he hit his head as hard as what I suspect we did when the console exploded he should have been out longer. So that means he must have used his energy to heal and repair his body and not had enough to hold off Nappa.* Gohan sighed and rubbed his temples

*I believe I just experienced the down side to Krillin's wish. Bulma suspected that when Krillin wished for the dragon to remove all explosives from the android's bodies that it would remove the device that worked as an endless energy supply since it could be used to blow up like Vegeta did to try and kill Buu. I Guess Bulma was right which means Seventeen and Eighteen can get tired and wear out their energy like the rest of us … *

"Gohan are you ok?" Erasa asked.

"Um yeah just thinking," Gohan replied halfheartedly.

"Do you want something to eat, we didn't eat any of your food, probably because we hardly ate any of ours," Erasa said as she and Sharpner carried over the bowls.

"It's really quite disgusting." Sharpner said.

Gohan looked at the food with disgust. *This looks even worse then the cafeteria food some of the kids at school eat and I don't know how they manage that.*

Gohan's stomach growled angrily and Gohan winced. *Looks like I'm going to eat it anyway if we're gonna break out of here I need as much strength and energy as I can get* Gohan said and with one finally will of courage he scoffed down the two bowls of gruel.

"I just thought of something," Erasa said sounding worried "What if this stuff is poisoned," Erasa added in a whisper.

Sharpner and Videl froze but Gohan just shrugged.

"Well you guys haven't been tortured or even questioned yet have you?" Gohan asked

"No," Videl replied.

"Then it won't be poison even if they do eventually plan to kill us they'll keep us around and torture or question any useful information out of us first," Gohan replied and finished off the last half of his second bowl.

"I don't know what's better, eating poison and dying painfully or letting them torture and kill us," Sharpner said in despair

"Probably eating the poison," Gohan muttered but they all heard him

Videl whacked him up the side of the head "GOHAN YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" She yelled at him and he yelped covering his ears in some hope of protecting them from the load screech.

"I wonder what these lumps are in the bottom of the gruel," Sharpner said lifting his spoon up with one on.

"I don't know I didn't eat them," Erasa replied

"Me neither," Videl added.

"It's some sort of raw meet," Gohan said without looking up.

When there was no reply from any of his friends he looked up to see them all looking rather pale.

"You're not serious are you Gohan?" Erasa practically whimpered.

"Um yeah," Gohan replied and the three turned a sickly pale.

Erasa got up and ran to the corner of the cell where she began to throw up.

"Is she ok?" Gohan asked.

Videl thumped him again "Man Gohan I wish your brain would start working again! I really didn't think you hit your head that hard!" Videl snapped before going over to try and comfort her friend.

*Saiyans eat raw meat as a sort of delicacy or tradition, that and it's remarkably good for us, even though we cook our meat at home when it comes to tradition Vegeta still has us eat it raw … I suppose the Saiyans give it to their prisoners to try to put them off eating or for a bit of sick fun … I guess people would find that sick … I did at first … Oops maybe I shouldn't have told them that one … I need some sleep and hopefully I'll wake up with my brain intact and without the foot in mouth syndrome* Gohan thought pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing.
