Chapter 1:Arrival on Namek. For More Than One it Seems.
The trio of adventurers watched through the window as the ship descended onto the green terrain. The planet spread out in all directions with various mountains, rivers, and fields. "Well guys." Bulma said. "Welcome to Planet Namek."
Gohan and Krillin stared in awe at the landscape around, though there were a little disappointed by its emptiness. "No wonder Piccolo loved hanging out in the wastelands." Krillin said. "It must've made him think of home."
Bulma had started rummaging through one of the boxes she had packed. "Before we head out I want you two to put these oxygen masks on." She said. "We don't know what the atmosphere is like here so it's impossible to say if we'll be able to breathe."
She came back up from box with three masks, only to watch from the front window as Krillin and Gohan approached the river just outside the ship.
Gohan stared out at the planet with a heart of grief. It reminded him too much of his time training with Piccolo to prepare for the saiyans. His heart hurt even more when he thought back to his mentor's sacrifice to save him. He was abrubtly taken out of his train of thought by an angry Bulma storming towards them.
"What were you two thinking!" Bulma yelled, giving them each a crack on the head. "For all we know the air here could've been poisonous and you two could've died!"
"We're sorry, Bulma." Krillin said, rubbing his head. "We just thought that since Kami could breathe our air, and he was a namekian, Namek's air must've been similar."
Bulma went to argue back but stopped herself. She pulled out the Dragon Radar and turned it on. The screen displayed that three of the Dragon Balls were close together, not too far from here. "Well this'll be easy, you two." Bulma said. "If they're all close together, then collecting them'll take no time at all."
She oriented herself to face the Dragon Balls and began to walk. "Let's go." She said. Before she could get too far, Krillin grabbed her arm with a tight grip. She spun around to face them and saw both Krillin and Gohan were struck with fear.
"I don't think we should be heading that way." Gohan wimpered.
"Oh come on." Bulma said. "King Kai said that the namekians are a peaceful people. Whatever you guys are sensing can't be that bad."
"Bulma, you don't understand." Krillin said. "This energy is way worse than Vegeta's. Whoever is giving off this energy is not somebody I want to mess with."
"Well suit yourself." Bulma said. "I came to this planet to find some Dragons Balls, and by Kami, I am going to find those Dragon Balls."
As she started to walk away a saiyan pod zoomed overhead, crashing down somewhere in the distance.
The three earthlings shook with fear as Krillin realized who was in that pod. "That's- That's Vegeta in there." He said. "No doubt about it."
"You know, on second thought, I don't think going off alone is all that good of an idea." Bulma said. "In fact, I don't think any of us should even venture out. I think we should just go and get Goku."
Before she could reach the ship, another pod came flying through the sky, following the other's path.
"You know, whoever thought firing off a spaceship's engines on an evil infested planet was a good idea." Bulma said. "I think I'm just going to stay right here with you two."
Vegeta stood on the rim of his pod's crater, affixing his scouter onto his ear. "Damn you, Frieza." Vegeta said. "If you think I'm going to let a bastard like you wish for immortality then you're sorely mistaken."
His scouter started beeping and focused in on a few power levels back the way he came in. "So I wasn't just imagining things during my flight." Vegeta said. "Guessing by these readings, I'd say that the earthlings have somehow made it to Namek."
Vegeta pressed a button on his scouter and the readings focused on another power level, this one much larger. "But I have no time to deal with weaklings." Vegeta said. "I have a much bigger fish to fry." He took off after the signature with a look of murder on his face.
Unbeknownst to Vegeta, Cui was hidden just behind a cluster of rocks, listening in to everything Vegeta had said. He pushed a button on his scouter and spoke. "Lord Frieza," He said, "Vegeta is on his way towards your position. He also mentioned something called 'earthlings.' Vegeta isn't one to mention something if it didn't concern him."
"Put your focus on Vegeta for now." Frieza said. "I want you break him, but bring him to me alive. I'll have someone sent out to deal with these 'earthlings' you speak of."
"Roger that, my Lord." Cui said. He cut from the communication and took off after Vegeta.
Frieza watched the elder namekian drop to his knees in front of him, all of the life drained from his body. He leaned back into his chair and called to his two generals. "Dodoria, take a group and search the village." He said. "Zarbon, I have received news that another group other than the namekians is the planet. Send out a party to deal with them."
"On it, my Lord." Zarbon said, motioning towards a group of soldiers.
Frieza watched as his men scurried from house to house around the village, bringing out any survivors as well as closely searching each for the Dragon Ball. Zarbon returned to his side after his men had departed from the village to deal with the earthlings. Dodoria rounded up the survivors and brought them before Frieza, who thought hard about what to do with them.
His men quickly finished their search, with no Dragon Ball coming up.
Frieza turned towards the survivors and questioned each one about its location, killing any who remained silent. Eventually one of the namekians confessed to the emporer about where it was.
"We moved it to another location after we had heard about you." The namekian said. "We hid it away from any of the other villages to keep you from finding it."
Frieza wrapped his tail around the namekian's neck and lifted him infront of his chair. "You are going to take me directly to where you hid that Dragon Ball or you won't even be able to experience death under me, you understand!" He demanded.
The namekian made a sound indicating he understood and Frieza dropped him to the ground. "Tie him up and keep an eye on him. I don't care about the others." Dodoria dealt with each of the other survivors while Zarbon bound the namekian up tightly.
Before the group could make a move to leave, a soldier appeared from one of the houses, a Dragon Ball held in his hands. "Don't worry, my Lord. It appears we missed one of the compartments hidden in the house." He said.
Frieza scowled as he floated from his chair down to the namekian. "Did you think that you'd be able to make a fool out of me?" He said.
The namekian tried backing away in fear but fell over due to the ropes binding him. He let out a quiet gasp as Frieza plunged his tail into the namekian's chest. The namekian collapsed backwards in silence as Frieza pulled his tail back and returned to his chair.
"One who thinks that he could make a fool of me is worse than one who remains silent." He said. "Let that be an example."
Frieza turned to his generals. "Do either of you have information on the whereabouts of the next village?" He asked.
Both of them shook their head and returned back to their respective squads.
Frieza sighed and turned to the Dragon Balls. He picked one up and stared back at his reflection. "Just a measley three more Dragon Balls, and I shall become the most feared being in the universe." He chuckled.
