A/N: Hello, and thanks for clicking on this! Some of you might recognize my name from the story "Universe Nine," which I started to write, but haven't really had the chance to update lately. From now on my focus will be on this story, so updates for that one will be sparse. Thanks again for deciding to read this, and enjoy!
"I call upon the trees and the water, the sun, the moon and the stars, the plants and the animals, all living things! Let me share your power!"
Goku had both his arms thrust into the air, as he pleaded with the life around him on Namek, and the surrounding planets. He wished it didn't have to come to this, but there was no other choice. Goku had fought his hardest in one-on-one combat, but the tyrannical ruler, Frieza, was simply too powerful. Even after multiplying his power several times, it did no more than irk the overlord. Frieza was like no other opponent he had ever faced before. Goku had but one chance left to end the tyrant and his reign: The Spirit Bomb. A technique taught to him by the overseer of the galaxy, King Kai, the spirit bomb allowed Goku to gather the energy from living things, and compile it into one massive attack.
Frieza stared down his opponent, an earth-raised saiyan, who identified himself as Son Goku. Aside from his own family, he was the strongest warrior Frieza had ever encountered. Of course, Frieza was still untouchable for the saiyan. Frieza glared at him as he stood motionless, his arms in the air. This strange pose initially baffled the tyrant, but this quickly changed to anger, as he viewed this as a form of mockery. He grew infuriated with this insolence and prepared to attack, but was stopped by a large green fist colliding with his face. Frieza turned to look at his attacker.
It was that pesky Namekian, who called himself Piccolo. The insolence of the Namekian race was so incessant, vexing Frieza to no end. He blocked the Namekian's next attack, and the two began to trade blows. In a matter of seconds Frieza overpowered him, and knocked him backward harshly. Before he could follow the flying body, two others appeared in front of him.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" "MASENKO HA!" the two screamed, as Frieza found two large ki blasts, one blue, the other yellow, heading towards him. He threw his arms up to block, and the attacks collided with him. To the pair's dismay, Frieza was virtually unscathed. Frieza glared intensely at the attackers, two smaller earthlings. One was Gohan, the half-breed son of Goku, the other was Krillin, their bald human friend. The baldie had sliced off Frieza's tail when in his second form. Yes, he would pay dearly for that, they would all pay. Frieza launched himself at the two, and smashed their heads together.
Goku had gathered all the energy he could from Namek and the surrounding planets. However, he had a hunch that it wouldn't be enough. Not knowing what to do, he turned to his mentor, King Kai, telepathically.
"King Kai, I don't think this will be enough… Frieza's just too strong!"
"I know Goku," King Kai replied, "Things are looking pretty bleak."
"Is there any way I can get more power, King Kai?"
Just then, the deceased triclops Tien Shinhan, who had been listening along with Yamcha and Chiaotzu, spoke up. "King Kai," he said, "Would it be possible for us to give Goku more energy?"
"That's a great idea Tien!" exclaimed King Kai, "but there's one issue… you boys are going to have to direct your energy towards the planet Namek."
"That's easy!" Chiaotzu said, "We can sense the entire galaxy from up here, and thanks to your telepathic link, finding Namek will be a sinch!"
"Great thinking Chiaotzu!" Yamcha praised.
"Right," King Kai said happily, "You hear that Goku? We got you s'more juice!"
"Yeah, thanks a lot you guys!"
Using the link as a pathway, the trio forced as much energy as they could to Namek. As this happened, Goku felt the spirit bomb grow significantly. However, even still…
"...It's still not enough, against someone like Frieza, it might not even make a difference," Goku stated sadly.
"If only we had a large mass of people," said King Kai "Surely then we could gather enough energy to beat him."
This gave Goku an idea. "Wait.. King Kai! The way you were able to direct Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu's energies, could you do it for the earth?"
"Hmm, in theory, that could work, but it would be extremely difficult," King Kai replied.
"It doesn't matter," Goku said determinedly, "We have to try, it's the only way to put him down for good!"
"Alright Goku, but there's one more thing," King Kai sighed, "this energy can only be gathered willingly… You're going to have to ask the earthlings for their energy."
"Okay King Kai," Goku prepared himself, "Can you extend the link to earth please?"
"You betcha!" King Kai put Goku through to the earth, "Alright Goku, whenever you're ready just go for it!"
"Thanks King Kai!"
Kami, the guardian of earth, had been on King Kai's telepathic link the entire time, watching what had transpired. Thus, he knew of the plan even before Goku made his message to the earth. He raised his arms to the sky, instructing his assistant, Mr. Popo, to do the same.
"Here Goku," Kami shouted, "Take our energy and beat the monster that slaughtered both our races!"
After this, Goku made his speech to the earth.
"People of earth!" He yelled telepathically, "My name is Son Goku, some may know me as the boy who defeated King Piccolo, or the winner of the twenty-third martial arts tournament. Whatever the case, I need your help!"
Dr. Briefs faced the determined group in front of him. They were a hodge-podge bunch, quite odd indeed. For starters, there was the Yamcha's feline friend Puar, and a very piggish pig, Oolong. They were both shape shifters, however the latter of the two could only maintain a transformation for five minutes. Next was a perverted old martial arts master, Roshi. He had mentored Goku when he was a boy. He'd also mentored the father of the last member, perhaps the most dangerous of the lot: Chi Chi, daughter of the Ox-King, and wife of Goku. She carried a vast array of weapons, rifles, machine guns, pistols, and of course, plenty of ammunition. She also had the most dangerous weapon of all: her frying pan. Dr. Briefs couldn't help but be alarmed by her appearance, especially with that murderous look on her face.
The scientist cleared his throat, and then spoke. "Now, are you all sure you want to go through with this?" he asked, "the journey to Namek will be perilous, and there's no telling what dangers you will face when you arrive."
"Of course!" the Ox-Princess glared at Dr. Briefs, "I'm going to go get my baby boy back, no matter the cost, or who gets in my way!"
The others nodded in agreement.
"Alright then," Dr. Briefs said, "follow me."
As the group began to walk towards the Briefs' spaceship, they heard the sound of Goku's voice.
"I'm currently on the planet Namek, fighting the evil overlord known as Frieza. I cannot defeat him on my own, so please, raise your hands to the sky and lend me your energy!"
"Hehe, that's m'boy!" Roshi screamed with glee, "C'mon everyone, let's help Goku put down this bastard!"
"Yeah, and now we don't have to go to Namek, what luck!" exclaimed the cowardly Oolong.
Chi Chi still wanted to go to Namek, to make sure herself that Gohan would be okay. However, she eventually agreed with the others, with great reluctance.
"Goku, you'd better bring our baby home safely!" she screamed, as she waved her frying pan in the air, sending her energy to her husband.
It was but a normal day for Upa, and his father Bora. The father-son duo were chopping firewood just outside of their tent in the land of Korin. Upa decided he would take a short break. He looked up at the sacred tower that he had lived next to his entire life. Over the years, he had grown into a fine, strong young man, bearing great resemblance to his father. Yet, even still, he had been unable to make the trek to the top of Korin's tower.
"One day, I'll reach the top," Upa thought to himself, "Just like Goku."
It seemed as though fate could read his mind, for just then, Upa heard Goku's plea. He turned to his father excitedly.
"Father," Upa said, "Do you think it really is-"
"Yes," Bora answered, before his son could finish, "It is the very man who saved me from death itself." Bora gestured to the scar on his chest.
The pair happily raised their arms into the sky, ecstatic to hear from their friend after several long years.
Nam watched happily as the children played in the river. Water used to be so sparse here in his village, but in recent years it had become abundant. This was all thanks to Jackie Chun, or Master Roshi, as his true identity was, and especially to Son Goku, who had broken the merry-go-round gum dam that plagued them. It was no surprise that Nam was eager to help when he heard Goku's message.
"Come my friends!" He yelled to his fellow villagers, "It is time we repay our friend for all that he has done for us!"
Nam and his village raised their arms to the sky happily.
A purple haired girl walked down the city streets aimlessly, peeking into various stores, and other attractions in the city. Launch loved the city life, it was always filled with such interesting things; it never ceased to entertain her! Of course, for her violent personality, this entertainment consisted of robbing the numerous banks and stores.
When Launch heard the voice of her old friend Goku, she was very happy to say the least. She jumped for joy and raised her hands into the air without a second thought.
"Yippee!" she yelled gleefully, and then addressed those around her, "C'mon everyone, let's all help out my friend!"
Most ignored her, though some chuckled, viewing her behaviour as nothing more than childish antics. To them, this "Son Goku" was full of bologna.
As if sensing the skepticism of the people, Goku spoke again.
"Please everyone, I beg of you! If I don't destroy Frieza now, he'll come after the earth! I'm sure many of you remember the two alien attackers from a couple months ago, that defeated much of the military. They were sent by him! Do you really think you could survive if he attacked? Please, don't let him slaughter you, your children, everything; DON'T LET HIM WIN!"
This desperate plea a connection to the attacks from months previous did cause some people to stirr.
"You think this is legit?"
"I dunno man, maybe it is! Should we do it?"
One man decided to trust the strange voice, and thrusted his hands into the air. Soon after this, he started panting.
"Damn!" the man yelled, "I feel like I just did a morning jog, all at once!"
When others saw this, they were outraged.
"It's all a scam!"
"He's trying to kill us!"
"Shut up stupid voice, you'll never have our twinkies!"
Launch was very upset with how people were acting. Why couldn't they just have a little faith in Goku? He'd saved the earth countless times!
Just then, there was a small breeze which blew some dust into Launch's face. This caused her to let out a large, high-pitched sneeze.
And that was when all hell broke loose. Now in her blonde, violent state, Launch growled at the people bad mouthing her friend. She swiftly pulled out an AK-47.
"HEY!" she screamed with death on her face, "YOU HEARD THE MAN, SHUT UP AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"
Needless to say, this city gave a great contribution to Goku's Spirit Bomb, courtesy of the violent blonde.
Goku could feel all the energy coming from the earth. It was spectacular. If Frieza could survive this energy combined with what he already compiled, Goku would eat a dragon ball.
Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin were doing their best to hold off Frieza. They were badly beaten, but they had survived. The trio were now barely able to stand, and Frieza was extremely pissed.
"Dammit, why aren't you DEAD?!" Frieza roared, "Argh, screw all of you!" Frieza flew high into the air, "AND THIS PLANET!"
Frieza held a finger in the air, and a dark purple ball of ki to form. Frieza was sick and tired of these beings' constant insolence. He intended to rid himself of these fools by destroying the planet, it was useless without the dragon balls anyways. He would've done it too, if he hadn't been smacked by a giant blue ball of ki.
Having gathered an enormous amount of energy, Goku launched the Spirit Bomb on Frieza. The latter tried to fight back, but there was no stopping it. Taking Frieza down with it, the Spirit Bomb collided with the surface of Namek, causing massive destruction, incinerating rock formations, and parting the seas.
King Kai and his pupils watched in awe from the safety of his planet, as the Spirit Bomb was launched. King Kai began to snicker.
"I guess we'll have to wait a SEA if the Spirit Bomb stops, or should I say FREEZES Frieza!" King Kai began to laugh hysterically. The trio didn't even smirk.
"Aw c'mon guys, I'm SHORE you liked that one!"
"King Kai, now's not the time," Yamcha said.
"Fine fine," King Kai said, pouting, "don't have to be such a BEACH about it…"
There was a blinding flash of light as the Spirit Bomb completed its attack. The seas fell back down, covering most of what was once a battlefield, hiding the ugly scars now present on the surface of Namek.
Frieza was gone.
A/N: Well, there's the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it! Also, I think it's necessary to explain some things. I imagine many must be thinking that the Spirit Bomb was way too powerful, as the earth was used to fuel the one that destroyed Kid Buu in Dragon Ball Z. Honestly, I always felt as though the earth shouldn't have been able to generate that much power. To be fair, they did have people like Gohan, Goten, and Trunks who could've provided a large amount of energy. Anyways, in this story, the Spirit Bomb obviously wasn't of that caliber. To fit with the canon, we can assume that many people didn't give their energy to the spirit bomb, considering many people must've thought like those in Launch's city. Since we don't have a murderous blonde in every city, that would leave a lot of energy that Goku wasn't able to collect from the earth. So, that explains that I guess. I'd like to thank you one more time for reading this, and please, review if you get the chance. :)
