Summary[]
Gohan and Krillin face to face with Garlic Jr.
Garlic Jr. emerges from The Lookout and demands that Gohan tell him where Goku is but Gohan refuses and powering up, attacks Garlic Jr. who narrowly dodges the blow. Gohan attempts to finish Garlic Jr. off with a Masenko but before he fires the blast, Garlic Jr. holds up the contained miniature Kami which causes Gohan to back down.
Salt jumps into battle and knocks Gohan to the ground. As Krillin goes to help, he is blocked off by Mustard. Garlic Jr. uses his powers to create a Throne for himself inside the Palace and tells Salt and Mustard that they can play with their opponents until Goku arrives but says that he will land the finishing blow. Gohan and Krillin quickly find themselves outmatched and Krillin ultimately takes Salt's attack in an attempt to save Gohan.
