The Saiyan Of Namek
Chapter 2: Friend or Foe?!
For several days Raijin sat outside Guru's House and meditated; sensing the wave of death sweeping his home; he wanted to leave his duty and fight so badly he could taste it in his mouth; his black hair often covered his eyes when he bowed his head; his tail tapping the ground around him; always forgetting he even had a tail; he was so different but the Namekian's took him in and raised him anyway; he always knew that Guru had been involved; but Guru knew more than he let on.
Raijin stood up with a start; sensing two auras headed straight for the house, dashing inside; bowing before Lord Guru.
"Lord Guru, someone comes towards your home; one power I know… it is the child Dende; the other I do not know; however, this other power does not feel evil"
Guru thought on this matter before speaking again, "Raijin you will stay here… Nail shall greet Dende and the stranger."
Raijin watched from the window as Nail and Dende spoke with each other; though his eyes lingered on the stranger; a short bald man in a orange outfit; he moved to stand beside Guru as the three come inside.
"Come in Krillin, you're about to meet our High Elder" spoke the voice of Dende; smiling and bowing his head to Nail Guru and Raijin.
"Oh, I hope to not cause offence to your leader… A SAIYAN!" The Bald Man named Krillin sudden struck a combat pose and prepared to face someone; Raijin stood with a blank expression.
"What is a Saiyan?" Raijin asked; shaking the hair out of his eyes.
"My son… a Saiyan is a warrior race that nearly died out years ago; often identified by the tail you often forget you have, you crashed here following the death of your birth planet" Guru explained; Krillin relaxing while Dende and Nail having heard this before watched Raijin with concern.
Raijin's eyes went wide with shock; why had he never been told this; why did this secret be kept from him until a time of such evil had descended on their home; Raijin could not deal with this information; turning on his heels and left the house.
Raijin sat outside Guru's House in the exact same spot he always sat in; he stared out over the vast volume of water that covered most of the planet; several minutes had passed; he'd felt the sudden increase of power coming from Krillin; of whom suddenly left the house with the Dragon Ball in hand.
"I don't know who you are or why you're here, but Guru gave this to me; please don't follow" Krillin asked; his voice was sincere and honest; Raijin simply nodded and watched as Krillin left with the Dragon Ball in hand.
"I thought you would have left by now; we both know how badly you want to" Nail said as he left the house with Dende tagging along behind him.
"Krillin and another human named Gohan saved my life; my whole village is dead… my brothers, I saw the great evil…" Dende explained before suddenly being cut off by Raijin; a fierce flame awakening in Raijin's eyes.
"You saw this evil? Who are they?" Raijin shouted; grabbing a hold of Dende's hands.
"The leader is named Lord Frieza" Dende said suddenly, recoiling in fear just by saying the name.
Raijin turned and looked over to the horizon; now he had a name; and he wanted to face this foe, "Nail… will you join me for meditation?"
"I would be happy to" Nail smiled and sat beside Raijin taking up the lotus position and began meditation.
Dende smiled as he too joined them in meditation.
Two hours had passed since Krillin left but he seemed to be returning and with two other powers in tow; one seemed to be chasing them; it felt angry and full of hate; Raijin and Nail both led Dende back into the house and waited; a young boy strangely dressed in purple Namekian clothes arrived first; he didn't look as shocked as Krillin was at their first meeting; though Raijin just watched as Nail led him in to meet Guru and was soon followed by the sudden increase of power emanating from the boy named Gohan.
The Raijin saw Krillin with another man; this one with tall spiky black hair was dressed in a blue body suit and armour that had been badly damaged from battle; he'd had enough of evil powers in the distance and now it was time to face one such evil head on.
Raijin surged forward; his aura erupting from his body as he flew forward the armoured stranger, of whom turned and met Raijin's punch with a forearm block.
"What? A Saiyan? Here?!" the evil warrior spoke' his voice still full of hate; but Raijin didn't care anymore.
The two engaged in a lightning fast flurry of punches, kicks and blocks; neither one able to land a blow; the two broke apart when a ki blast separated them; the boy Gohan had returned and with good timing.
"Vegeta, stop this; I'm now as powerful as you were on Earth." Gohan called; quickly joined side by side with Krillin.
Raijin liked the comradery these two were showing despite having only just met him; flying to their side and placing his hands together behind his back.
"Well isn't that something, Kakarot's brat thinks he can take me on; don't make me laugh, you're still weaker than the last three people I killed!" Vegeta proclaimed with a look of sick satisfaction.
Gohan and Krillin both looked to Raijin, Raijin flying away from Vegeta just as he brought his hands back around; a ki blast charged up and about to fire; Vegeta's smug look quickly turned as he watched Raijin begin his attack.
"This is for my people; Thunder Crash Cannon!" Raijin roared when he fired; a yellow pulse cracked out from his hands; crackling like real lightning surrounding Vegeta and exploding around him.
"Yes! You did it Raijin you hit Vegeta; not an easy thing to do" Krillin shouted with fanfare.
"Oh, did you now?" Vegeta's voice came through the smoke as he suddenly flew out charging at Raijin; driving an energy punch into Raijin's gut as they hit the cliffside; Vegeta raised his fist again to strike again but was met with the hand of a Namekian grasping at Vegeta's fist; halting the attack, Nail had arrived in the nick of time.
Raijin smiled as his eyes met Nail's; the trust they shared apparent, igniting his own fist as he drove it into the damaged section of Vegeta's armour; knocking him backwards and winding the Saiyan.
"Stop this now! Lord Guru has sensed five new powers heading towards the planet" Nail explained.
Vegeta quickly looked shocked; he thought about having already killed Zarbon and Dodoria; Frieza must has sent for his strongest men; The Ginyu Force.
