Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z this is just a story for fun.
Frieza Planet 79
On the planet there was a vast military base with a palace. In a operations room Zarbon the righthand man of Frieza was listening in on a audio recording of two Sayian named Vegita and Nappa. Today's conversation was especially interesting, normally the two Sayians would talk about killing or the next planet they should attack, today the Sayian were talking about obtaining a mystical artifact called the Dragon Balls. According to the Sayians the Dragon Balls granted any wish to whoever gathered them all up. The Sayains talked about using the Dragon Balls to gain immortality.
"I suppose even dumb monkeys can be useful." Thought Zarbon, with a small smile.
Another recording the Sayians encountered a Namekian and learned that there was another set of Dragon Balls on a planet called Namek. Latter Zarbon picked up Vegeta's space pod returning to Frieza Planet 79, according to the life scanners Vegita was in critical condition.
"Serves that monkey right, trying to gain immortality and overthrow Frieza." Thought Zarbon.
Zarbon became curious about Namek and typed the word Namek into the computer database. There was very little information about the planet. They planet's coordinates were 9045XY. The planet had three suns and a small population. Zarbon decided to take this information about the Dragon Balls to his master. He went to the palace to his master's private quarters and entered. Frieza stood at the far side of the room with a glass of wine in his hands as he surveyed his empire. Frieza was very short Arcosian in his first form, but Zarbon knew about the incredible power level his master had. Zarbon kneeled before Friezia.
"My lord I bring important news." Said Zarbon.
"You may speak Zarbon." Said Frieza.
"Apparently those Sayians found something unique on the planet Earth. A magical artifact called the Dragon Balls that will grant any wish to whoever gathers them." Said Zarbon.
"What was Vegita after?" Asked Frieza.
"The fool wanted immortality, but according to his space pod's scanners, his in very poor health at the moment. It appears he failed in obtaining the Dragon Balls." Said Zarbon.
"It figures the monkey would fail." Said Frieza.
"Yes my lord. I also found out where another set of Dragon Balls are located." Said Zarbon.
"Where?" Asked Frieza with interest.
"On a planet called Namek." Said Zarbon.
"Namek you say." Said Frieza as he sipped his wine.
"What do you want to do about Vegita? Should I have his pod shot down?" Asked Zarbon.
"No. Have him land and healed up. I'll have him dealt with latter. Gather a crew together Zarbon, were going to Namek." Said Frieza.
"At once my lord." Said Zarbon as he stood up.
"Before you go lets have a little toast." Said Frieza.
"Of course my lord." Said Zarbon as he poured himself a glass if wine.
"To the success of this little venture and the soon to be eternal dominance of the universe." Said Frieza as he and Zarbon clanked glasses and drank. "One more thing Zarbon make sure neither my brother or my father find out about this venture. I can't stand the thought of Cooler living forever and I would never inherit the full empire if my father was immortal."
"Yes my lord I'll make sure neither of them find out." Said Zarbon as he left the room.
Unbeknownst to either Frieza or Zarbon someone was listening on their conversation. A tiny listening device was hidden in the celling. It was placed there by a engineer named Grapefruit. Grapefruit was a pale orange humanoid being with orange skin and red hair. He was weak by Frieza's soldiers standers, but he made up for that with his engineering skills and his ambition. Grapefruit heard everything Frieza and Zarbon said, he went to his private quarters and went to the videophone he had in a secret compartment and dialed a number. A few seconds later a being blue skin and blond hair appeared on the screen. The being was Salza, he was Cooler's second in command and leader of his elite team.
"Hello Grapefruit. What information do you have for us today?" Said Salza.
"I need to speak with Lord Cooler immediately. It concerns his brother." Said Grapefruit.
The image changed and Grapefruit saw the face of Cooler in his fourth Arcosian form looking at him.
"What do you want Grapefruit?" Asked Cooler as he glared at the engineer with his red eyes.
Grapefruit gulped nervously. Even though he knew Cooler was lightyears away those red eyes of Coolers still struck fear into Grapefruit. The engineer quickly regained his composure.
"I-I have information. That Frieza is going to a planet called Namek to gather some mystical artifacts called Dragon Balls. Once they are gathered any wish can be granted. Your brother wishes to gain immortality." Said Grapefruit.
"Are you serious?" Asked Cooler.
"Yes I have a recording of their conversation." Said Grapefruit as he played the recording.
Cooler listen and a annoyed look appeared on his face.
"That...little brat! If anyone is going to have immortality it's going to be me! I alone will control the universe not him!" Said Cooler as he gritted his teeth.
"I will go along with Frieza's forces and keep you informed about their progress." Said Grapefruit.
"Good. You will be rewarded handsomely for this information." Said Cooler.
"Thank you my lord." Said Grapefruit as the connection ended.
On Cooler planet 82, Cooler turned to Salza.
"Gather the Armored Squadron and some troops together. Were going to head to Namek." Said Cooler.
Salza nodded and left to gather the troops.
"You made a critically mistake brother. Thinking I would just simply stand around and let you gain immortality. There can only be one ruler in this universe and that's going to be me!" Declared Cooler.
To be continued.
