Chapter 1:

Bulma was having one hell of a day. She thought that coming to this planet would be fun. She thought that it was just the kind of adventure she needed after doing nothing but hanging around the lab for a while. Oh, how wrong she had been! Between all the adventures she had been on in her life, Namek was definitely the worse. She heaved a sigh as she watched the green sky and the lighter-colored clouds drifting lazily by. She was bored. However, she knew for certain that her two companions were not. Why? They were looking for the dragon balls and fighting bad guys. It was dangerous, but it was still fun…

Just as she was about to close her eyes and take a long nap, she heard the slight movement of rocks. This sound slowly turned into much a much louder one. She could practically feel the earth beneath her shaking vaguely. The trembling became even more violent, 'Earthquake?' she thought before she heard giant footsteps. She looked in the direction of the sound to find an enormous orange reptile making its way from behind an even huger boulder.

She almost shrieked, but she forced herself to bite her tongue. At first, she considered running, but she was sure such movement would catch the beast's attention. She tried to hide, but there were no openings she could slip in around her. Thus, she shifted slowly, turned around and walked as noiselessly as she could. When five minutes passed without incident, she thought the creature moved on. However, a strong roar and the sudden quickening of the steps proved otherwise. Survival techniques quickly taking over Bulma's panicked mind, her legs pushed her forward at a speed she never thought she could achieve. She screamed loudly that she was sure everyone within a five-mile radius could hear her. In her panic, she didn't notice that her feet led her to a dead end. She looked hopelessly at the wall in front of her and ducked low whilst covering her head, hoping against hope that by some miracle she would make it out of this alive.

She didn't know how, but somehow her prayers were answered. The once mighty dinosaur's body came tumbling down and hit the ground as a corpse when something or someone hit it with a ki blast. She was relieved that she had been saved before she realized that that blast could have been launched by one of the evil guys. Thus, she started shouting until she found out that it was none other than her bald friend.

"Hey Bulma!" Krillin greeted cheerfully. Bulma smiled gleefully, happy that she was still in one piece. Nevertheless, as quickly as her happiness came, it subsided as anger gnawed at her senses.

"You! How dare you?!" she screeched, "How can you leave helpless me alone here? Do you not have any sense?" By the time she had finished her ranting, Gohan landed next to Krillin.

"Sorry, Bulma… but we're kind of in a hurry," the bald man explained.

Not wasting any more time, Krillin flew off.

"We're really sorry to leave you again, Miss Bulma," Gohan apologized politely, tempting Bulma to ruffle his hair. He grinned amiably before he, too, flew off. Bulma bit the inside of her cheek glumly, 'To think that if they hadn't come, I would have been dinosaur food…' she thought. She rubbed her hands together before walking off, trying to find something that would get her mind off of the incident.

To say that Vegeta was furious was an understatement. He only collected one lousy dragon ball, and he had no means to know where the other six were. As he was fighting Dodoria, he found out that the Earthlings were here as well. And to his luck, they were also looking for the orange balls. His eyes widened when he felt a strong power level nearby. On closer inspection, he found out that it was Zarbon, Frieza's right hand man. He smirked when he imagined killing the blue alien just the way he slaughtered the pink blob. 'Yes, it is time for them to pay…' he thought with renewed vigor. Therefore, Vegeta flew towards Zarbon.

-oOo-

'Where are you Dodoria?' Zarbon thought frantically as he searched the landscape. If the pink alien was hiding, he was doing an exceptional job at it. However, Zarbon didn't care; he just didn't understand how such a big creature like Dodoria could evaporate!

"Looking for something?" A sinister voice came from not too far away. Zarbon's golden eyes narrowed as he surveyed the new arrival.

"Ah, it's you, Vegeta," Zarbon replied coolly, "You wouldn't know where Dodoria is, would you?"

"In hell, I hope," Vegeta answered, "Care to follow him there?" he asked whilst dropping low in a fighting stance prompting Zarbon to do the same. In a flash, the two were viciously exchanging hits. Vegeta punched Zarbon's cheek, making him fly back a few inches. Zarbon countered with a roundhouse kick, which Vegeta dodged. Zarbon, then, launched a powerful ki blast towards the flame-haired saiyan. The attack caught its target head on. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough to defeat the prince.

"You've gotten better. A few years ago, an attack like that would have gotten you in a tank for days," Zarbon remarked with a malicious grin, "Allow me to increase the difficulty. You won't stand a chance against my transformed self." Vegeta responded with a scoff. Zarbon began his said transformation. Vegeta watched with disgust as the once pretty boy changed into a giant frog. Before the other could react, Zarbon attacked the saiyan with a powerful force that he was sure he heard a few bones crack. After a few minutes, the saiyan prince was a mess. Zarbon returned to his usual form and returned to his master to report what had happened.

Author's Notes: Short? Yes. Boring? I hope not. I know the events are not like the original show, but it had been a long time since I watched this saga, so please forgive any mistakes! And as usual, please read and review! :D
