Author's note: I do no own Dragonball Z. Also, This is a future Trunks that hasn't gone Super Saiyan yet, and for some reason, Goku can't transform into one yet either. It sucks, but I need to beef up an already thin plot line.

Part 1

The sky on the new planet Namek was clear as the field workers were pulling out their vegetables and weeding their fields. The children were playing and the elders were watching with smiles on their faces. Suddenly, there was a loud crash as a ship landed in front of the village. Five extremely powerful men came down the ramp and line up in a military fashion. A lizard-like creature that was all too familiar to the Namekians came last and smirked at the nameks who were trembling at the sight of him.

"Ginyu force, imprison them. We'll need bait to lure that miserable Saiyan here," ordered Frieza. The Ginyu force then charged at the Nameks. After about a solid hour of rounding the Namekians up, they were put into concentration camps. In one of these camps was Dende. He put all of his power into sending his telepathic message.

GOHAN! PLEASE! FRIEZA'S HERE! SAVE US!...

…………………………

Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Gohan were having a big father-son sparing session in the morning. Everything was going great until Gohan collapsed under the pressure of the telepathic message.

GOHAN! PLEASE! FRIEZA'S HERE! SAVE US!

"NO, DENDE!" screamed Gohan as he felt the mental link disappear.



"Gohan, what's wrong?" asked Goku as he came flying up to Gohan full of worry. Trunks and Vegeta flew in as well.

"It's a telepathic message from Dende. He said that Frieza is on New Namek, and they're in trouble."

"I thought that you killed Frieza, Kakarot. It looks liked you failed," said Vegeta as he crossed his arms.

"How could he survive? I watched him die," whispered Goku to himself. He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a fire only seen on Namek just before he became a super saiyan.

"Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, and I will go to New Namek and take care of this. You need to stay here and train, just in case we don't come back. Guys, let's go!"

Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks left the training grounds and were headed for Capsule Corporation. They got on a ship and were headed for New Namek, which was about 2 days away, much closer than the old Namek. The three warriors sat in the main room of the ship, talking to each other about what they would do on the planet:

"I say we go after Frieza first!" exclaimed Vegeta enthusiastically.

"No. We need to free the people of the planet first. Then Frieza won't have anyone to use as shields," pointed out Goku.

"Are you sure that you can beat him?" asked Trunks.



"Of course Kakarot can! He's the Legendary Super Saiyan! He can do anything!" praised Vegeta sarcastically.

"Well, I did it before, so I know I can do it again!" determined Goku with confidence. The alarm that warned when the destination was about to be reached went off at that moment. The three Saiyans stood tall, waiting for whatever lay on the planet…

……………………………..

As the door to the ship opened, Goku was the first to step out. His jaw hung as he noticed the cloud of smoke on the other side of a giant boulder not far from the ship. Vegeta and Trunks followed, also surprised by the immediate destruction. The three ran over to the other side of the boulder and saw a destroyed village. Craters were everywhere, and the buildings were on fire. However, there were no corpses.

"This…is nuts," muttered Trunks. Vegeta's face registered a frown as he surveyed the landscape. Goku's fists tightened as he took a look around.

"They never had a chance! There aren't any corpses, which must mean they were enslaved. We have to find them, before they're killed!" said Goku. All three of them suddenly sensed two large energy signals. They followed the energy signals to a field where a bunch of Nameks were tied up. Trunks and Goku proceeded to untie them while Vegeta kept watch. After a bit, The Nameks were free. The Elder came up to Goku.

"Thank You for rescuing us, Goku. It appears that Frieza just can't get enough of torturing us. It's a good thing that Dende sent that message. Otherwise, we were doomed."



"That's good. You need to get your people out of here. We'll meet up with you after we figure out where the rest of your people are," responded Goku. Goku then turned to Vegeta and Trunks.

"That's weird. I thought that they would be better guarded than this," said Goku.

"That because we were waiting for you," said a familiar idiot.

"Recoome!" exclaimed Vegeta in horror as Recoome and Guldo landed in the field. Goku took a stance as Recoome's Scouter assessed the power levels of the good guys.

"Let's see, Vegeta is about 800,000, and the purple hair is about 700,000, and little man that beat me before is 600,000. This will hardly be a test for me. Guldo, you take Vegeta and purple hair. This little guy is mine."

"Sure thing, Recoome," said Guldo as he raced towards Vegeta and Trunks. The two exchanged blows with Guldo as Goku faced down Recoome.

"You've gotten a lot stronger, Recoome. It looks like I'm going to have to go all out on you this time."

"I'm going to crack your skull in this time!" screamed Recoome as he engaged Goku in a violent series of melee moves. His speed was too much for Goku, and he landed several punches and kicks. Goku was getting over powered, so he decided to raise the ante.



"KAIO KYN TIMES 10!!" screamed Goku as he began to match Recoome's moves. The two began to exchange several melee blows, as well as energy blasts and other violent projectiles…

Meanwhile, Guldo was proving to be quite a match for Vegeta and Trunks. Trunks was barely able to keep up with Guldo's moves, but Guldo was more powerful, and so was wearing down Trunks. After a couple of energy waves, Guldo knocked Trunks back. Vegeta stepped in, and landed several blows to Guldo. Vegeta then launched his most powerful chain of energy waves at Guldo. When the smoke cleared, Guldo was barely standing, looking like he couldn't fight anymore. Trunks came from behind and sliced off Guldo's head, ending his existence forever. Trunks put away his sword and looked his father in the eye.

"That wasn't so bad, father."

"Don't forget: Guldo is easily the weakest member of the Ginyu Force, and we spent most of our energy on him. We're going to have to retreat soon," said Vegeta as he turned his head towards the fight between Goku and Recoome…

Goku was worried about Recoome's power. Recoome was able to match every move that Goku made, which was a complete opposite from the earlier fight. He wasn't wearing out as fast as he thought he would, so Goku pulled out all the stops.

"KAAIO KKYYNNN TIMES 20!!" raged Goku as he allowed his full power to take over. He beat down Recoome with a series of punches and kicks, and then threw a full powered Kamehameha at the evil idiot.



"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" screamed Recoome as he was consumed by the attack. There wasn't anything left of him when the smoke cleared. Goku powered down, completely exhausted of most of his power. Struggling to stand up, Goku made his way to Vegeta and Trunks.

"Guys, I spent most of my power on him, and know that there are 3 more guys to go before Frieza, so I think we better split before…"

"Before what?" asked a familiar and unwelcome voice. Captain Ginyu came from behind a hut, chuckling to himself. Jeice and Burter followed from the other side.

"We meet again, Captain Ginyu," said Goku as he tried to feign not being tired. Ginyu smirked, and then sped forward so fast that Goku was unable to counteract his blow to the chest. Vegeta was attacked by Jeice and thrown at Goku, who was just standing back up. As the two toppled over, Trunks was tossed at their feet by Burter. Goku stood up, looking like someone who was finished off. He then brought his hands to his face.

"Vegeta! Trunks! Close your eyes! SOLAR FLARE!" screamed Goku as he unleashed a blinding light on the Ginyu force. While the bad guys were blinded, Goku and the others fled. They joined up with the Nameks, who offered them a place of refuge.

"This place is an underground Temple. It will hide your Ki signatures, so don't worry about displaying your power," said the Elder.

"Thank you. Do you guys have any healers?" asked Goku.

"Yes."



"Good. We have to recover our strength and Vegeta and Trunks need to train with me. If the Ginyu Force is this tough, then Frieza is tougher as well. I'm not the only one who's going to have to transform into a super saiyan…"

……………………………

As the remainder of the Ginyu force recovered their sight, Captain Ginyu snarled at their failure to capture the Saiyans. Frieza wasn't going to be pleased.

"My scouter can't even pick up their power levels. I have no idea where they're at," said Jeice as Burter cleaned out his ear with a finger.

"Don't worry," said Ginyu, "They'll show up soon. They know that if they don't, Frieza will destroy the planet, killing everyone. Besides, we have to extract our revenge on them. They will pay for humiliating us before."

"Vegeta and the boy aren't much, but this super saiyan was able to get up to 5,000,000. That's almost as powerful as you captain. He'll also get stronger from healing from the brink of defeat. He could be extremely formidable."

"Don't worry. I'll defeat him. I'll make him pay for putting me into that frog…"

……………………………

Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks were lying on mats, having their bodies healed as they entered a deep sleep. Whenever they wake up, the most important training session ever will begin…
