He starts off on his quest, sprinting as fast as he can, in order to get to Kai before the saiyans arrive.
Back on Earth, a fat messenger named Yajirobe arrives on Roshi's island, telling him that Krillen has been selected to train for the Earths Special Forces. He is surprised at his luck, and is off. Previously, Bulma had used the scouter to find out the Krillen's power level was 255, even higher than Master Roshi's, but not even close to Goku and Piccolo's.
On the top of a relatively small tower, high above Earth are a collection of the top fighters in Earth. These include a three eyed human called Tien, a small puppet look-a-like called Chao-zu, a fat, food obsessed man called Yajirobe, a spiky haired, cocky human named Yamcha, and a bald headed short human called Krillen. They are all training with each other, sparring, and trying to get the upper hand on one-another. Krillen doesn't seem to be able to hit his partner - Yajirobe - who is more interested in eating than in fighting.
Back on Snake Way, Goku is still sprinting as fast as he can in an effort to get to Kai's place. He tries jumping, and it works well, speeding up the process of getting to his destination. After a short while, Goku needs to have a sleep. He lies in the middle of the road, and falls down, into the beyond. Shady hands grab at him, but he manages to wake up just in time, and break free. He makes sure he isn't careless again, and continues on his way.
On Earth, the fighters have their first test after the small bit of training that they have been given so far. They are to venture forth into the room of time and spirit. The fighters are in some sort of battleground of the past, where saiyans have previously been. Dead bodies path the floor, some of saiyans, some of humans. Tien seems to think that there is no need for them to be there, as everyone is already dead. In the shadows lurk two figures, as of yet unseen by our heroes. They are discussing ways of having fun with the stranded warriors, who are training for their encounters with the saiyans.
From out of the shady corner jump two figures - One slightly overweight, and the other is far thinner. They start sniveling like idiots, plotting ways to kill the warriors. They are in for no easy fight though. The fight that ensues is the most one-sided fight of the series so far. Even Yamcha's mini-spirit bomb (Nothing like the one Goku uses) is no-where near powerful enough to stop their two saiyan enemies. They slowly dispose of each person, taking them out with relative ease. Tien puts up a major fuss when Chao-zu, his best friend, is killed, but not even his enraged state can do anything to help his power as he is easily beaten.
The heroes end up back in the room that they were in, and are all dazed. Yajirobe stands there, watching them all recover. He didn't go in due to his general cowardice in the heat of battle. They are all surprised, and happy to still be alive, after suffering their deaths in the room of spirit and time. Kami informs them that only their minds for in there, which is why their physical state is undamaged. They are all relieved, but find the fact that the saiyans they fought were comparatively weak compared to the ones on Earth, absolutely unbelievable. Again, they get busy training.
Up in Snake Way, Goku is still on his way, struggling in defiantly as he continues on. He gets to a road cleaner who agrees to give him a lift along the road, and allows Goku to sleep on the back. Appreciative of what the cleaner is doing for him, Goku settles down, and gets some sleep. The small vehicle chugs on, but one of the wheel's flicks against the side of the road, knocking Goku off the back, and plunging into the depths of the underworld, below Snake Way. By now, Goku is fast running out of time, with the saiyans looming ever closer.
The usual training is being maintained back on Earth, with everyone trying to get their power levels up as high as possible. The biggest exception though are the exploits of Gohan. Piccolo has dumped him in the wilderness to survive on his own, and while at first he is running all the time, and scared out of his mind, he soon gains power, and fights off the savage beasts that think he shall be their pray. Slowly over time, a T-Rex that was chasing him starts to run from him, with Gohan chopping off his tail with a sword after every encounter, so that he can eat. Piccolo watches all the time, making sure that Gohan survives, and he seems somewhat...passionate towards the little kid.
When Piccolo goes to do his training, it is very impressive, as he can move pyramids with his mind (Though just barely). Gohan is amazed at Piccolo's power when he sees him doing it. Piccolo gets a slight scare when Gohan looks at the moon for the first time, transforming into a huge beast, with incredible power. Piccolo is unable to stop him from his rampage, but works out that the moon is the source, and destroys it. He finds out that Gohan shrinks back to size, then he plucks his tail from out of him, trying to get rid of the risk of Gohan killing him.
