I don't own dragon ball z or make any profit from this. I just like to put my thoughts on what should have happened on paper XD
Chapter One: Homecoming
I jumped up with a gasp.
"So he failed after all!" The sudden chi burst that I felt could be from no one else. It was Frieza and it seemed like he was not alone. "Frieza's still alive and he's coming!" Kakarot's idiot friend with the scar on his face quirked an eyebrow at my outburst.
"Wait, how do you know? Maybe it could be somebody else, come on." I could feel my jaw clench in annoyance with the baka who could feel the enormous chi headed our way just as well as I could.
"I know! I make it my business to know, unlike you." The idiot jumped out of his seat and huffed at me.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Hey Vegeta, would you like a little more barbeque sauce on your spare ribs?" I had to stop myself from letting my jaw drop at the earth woman's remark. She was ignorant to everything that happened on Namek having only witnessed the planet falling to pieces. She didn't have to see the monster that caused all the destruction and pain. I pinched the bridge of my nose to calm myself down.
"Sure. Why not." I sat down and put my head in my hands as the others continued to ramble on about the food. The hair on the back of my neck was standing on end and it felt like my stomach had turned to lead. I sighed deeply and reached out with my senses to feel the other chis on this mud ball planet. The bald friend of Kakarot and his brat child were already moving quickly to the area that Frieza's ship would surely land. I could also sense two other chis, one of decent proportion and the other rather small, heading to the spot as well. Good. So that means there will be several of us. I hate relying on others in combat but after what happened on Namek… I also knew the likelihood of us winning even with reinforcements. And there was always the chance that Frieza could blow up the entire planet. I glanced around at the others who finally seemed to be aware of the situation we were in. Since they were all wrapped up in their own crippling fear at our impending doom I decided to reach out further with my chi senses. Doing this made me loathe myself but at the level I was at I knew there was no way in hell I would survive against Frieza. I felt my eyes close as my concentration grew stronger. There, still hours away. Kakarot would be too late to be of any use. I sighed again, pushing my fear away to the corner of my mind and trying to psyche myself up for the battle ahead.
"Alright, if you will all excuse me I have some business to take care of. Woman save my food for later. I'm sure I'll be hungry after I'm through." With that I took off, too nervous to see if my brave act had worked. I felt the idiot follow shortly afterwards and I slowed my pace down just a degree so that he would know where to go.
We arrived at the approximate location of where Frieza would land with moments to spare. "This is the place where he'll be touching down." I said more to myself than to the idiot with me.
"Are you sure Vegeta?" I rolled my eyes in frustration.
"Yes I'm sure now zip it! I don't want him to know we're waiting." We heard an engine whir as a capsule plane came flying in overhead.
"Hello down there!" The woman's shrill voice made me grit my teeth. Why is there another idiot here? She'll be useless and I'll have to make sure she doesn't get killed. What a pain.
"It's bulma!" Nah, ya think?
"Vegeta! Yamcha! I'm coming in!" I braced myself for more idiotic conversing as the plane landed quickly. The woman and the flying cat jumped out of the plane. I could see that their presence was irritating the idiot as much as it was me. He looked like he was actually going to be tough for a minute.
"What in the world are you two doing here?!" The woman put her hand on her hips. I groaned inwardly. Brace yourself Vegeta. Need to stay calm…
"We came to see Frieza. I missed him on Namek, and I am NOT going to let that happen again." The idiot let his mouth fall open in shock.
He sputtered out at them "Are you crazy? Do you realize what he'll do to you when he finds you here?" The woman rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes, of course I do. He'll come down and blow up the planet but I wanna see him before he does it. What's so wrong with that? Besides I hear he's kinda cute." I sighed as the woman's lack of understanding on what she was talking about turned the little headache I had into a full-blown migraine.
"It's amazing how every time you open your mouth you prove you're an idiot" I snapped at her. We heard the air gust above us as two more of Kakarot's friends landed. They exchanged greetings and I could feel the air turn icy as they noticed me. Ah more idiots. Weak idiots no less. I could tolerate Kakarott in this situation but this was ridiculous.
The three eyed one turned to me in disgust and practically spat at me "Vegeta! I didn't realize YOU were going to be here too." I sneered at his false bravado.
"Is that ok?" He's getting into a fighting stance. Because this is a good time for that crap...
"As a matter of fact, it isn't. I still haven't forgotten what happened the last time we met. You disgust me." He turned to idiot number one and asked accusingly "How can you stomach him Yamcha?" Fine if he wants to be like this then two can play.
"Heh LOSER!" He immediately snapped his head back at me.
"What?!" The first idiot tried to step between us. "Hey, cool it guys! This is no time to fight, ok?" I take some deep breaths to try to calm down and stepped away. The first idiot and the three eyed idiot started talking to each other. Don't they realize that this isn't the situation for idle chatter?
"Be quiet!" I snapped. "I'd rather Frieza's scouters didn't detect us because of your incessant gabbering! Besides, all this scary talk is upsetting the Namek." The first idiot looked at me like I was speaking a different language.
"The Namek?" He finally looked around him for the first time since we had been standing here. He gasped as he saw the Namek who I'd known had been there for quite some time. "Piccolo! How long have you been standing there?" The Namek sneered down at the idiot with almost as much distaste as I felt.
"Long enough to hear all of your senseless bickering." I snorted at that. He's rather funny when you aren't threatening him.
I stayed silent for a while trying to come up with some sort of battle strategy. The others were talking in the background but it was quiet enough for me to keep to my thoughts and stay calm. I could suddenly sense two chis approaching us rapidly. I looked up to see the bald man and Kakarot's brat come in for a landing. The brat looked overjoyed to see the Namek but at the look on the Namek's face he quickly understood that this wasn't a time for laughter. With us all assembled and Frieza rapidly approaching I decided to take control of this group and get our butts in gear.
"Now there's no room for mistakes. We all got to keep our power levels suppressed or else Frieza will pick us up on his scouters." The first idiot suddenly began to panic as he began to feel the full force of Frieza's chi. The Namek spoke to the group at large to try to get them to understand that this was the only way.
"We either fight now or he destroys the whole planet without us even putting up a fight." I couldn't have put it any better myself.
"He's right you know. You really have no choice. So what's say we put an end to all this pathetic whimpering and go find Frieza! Before he finds us…" I could feel my tough front beginning to crumble so I immediately began to head towards where we could see his ship landing. It wasn't that far away but I wanted to hurry to try to catch him by surprise. We began to climb up a cliff. I looked down at the rest of them. Can they move any slower? And that woman isn't even trying. The brat is practically carrying her! I shook my head in exasperation and kept climbing focusing on getting there as quickly as possible.
The idiots and I could hear the sound of Frieza ordering his henchmen to find and destroy us. I snickered to myself at that. Good luck with that. I could sense all of his minions power levels were only a fraction of our weakest warrior. A plan came to mind on how to dispatch of the weaklings quickly and gang up on Frieza before he had time to fully power up when suddenly a massive chi appeared in the midst of Frieza's men. What the…who could have that sort of power? And where did they come from? My thoughts immediately turned to Kakarot but there was no way it could be him. Last time I sensed him he was still hours away from earth. I moved as quickly as I could up the cliff and peered over the edge. K…Kakarot? The power felt exactly like the few moments when I sensed him on Namek after I was revived. The power was staggering. The figure that had obviously appeared was surrounded by a golden glow so it had to a Super Saiyan. The figure suddenly disappeared and one by one each of the henchmen began to fall to the ground. I still couldn't make out exactly who it was but he fought like Kakarot as well. After the henchmen had all fallen, the glowing warrior turned to Frieza and his father. I heard Frieza scream and throw a massive chi blast at the warrior. There was a blinding light and I closed my eyes to shut it out. The noises all stopped and it became silent. I looked up and found only the warrior and the bodies of the henchmen. Frieza and his father had been completely disintegrated by the chi blast from the warrior. The glowing warrior sighed deeply and turned around to face us. My chi level had spiked greatly while watching the action take place. He looked directly into my eyes and smirked at me. It was him. Kakarot had come home.
