Vegeta looked at Nail. "So, you feel it too. Yeah, thats Frieza... Frieza is the head of the planet sale organization. He was my master and i was his slave untill i found out about the dragonballs and decided to rebel. He has found out about my treason and he's coming for me. Probably the dragonballs as well. Seems you two have a bit of luck, i will be departing now. Don't go too far away now, i still want that dragonball. You have fun fighting an army of warriors as strong as Nappa was." Vegeta shot off into some direction. Superman lifted up to go after him but was stopped by Nail.

"We have bigger problems now. This changes the whole ballgame. I have never heard of this Frieza but he sounds like a serious threat. The elder is still in space i would suspect. He will be in danger. Please go and save him, i will go see our Father for guidance."

"Your father?"

Nail smiled. "Long story. I hope you can meet him. He is the father of all Namekians, and the creator of the dragonballs. Now please, go help the elder. I believe you can breath in outerspace? Good, Perhaps you should find a different star to power yourself up?"

"That might take too long. By the time i get back you might all be dead and i will be powered down again fast from this star. No, my brother is now our best hope. Also the green lantern corps must be contacted."

Nail nodded. "Make sure they arrive here, soon. I will see you soon then i hope." Nail shot off into a direction. Superman lifted up into the air very high. He then went too the direction the elder had taken. Then he remembered something, the scouter. He touched down onto the ground again. After a bit of searching he found Nappa's scouter. It could come in handy he thought. He reprogammed it as well and put it in his pocket. With the socuter he had on he then located the remaining Namekians. He also saw where Vegeta had gone off to. He hesitated for a moment but then decided to find the Elder first and get him out of orbit. He located the largest concentration of Namekians and went straight for it. The scouter only counted about 60 Namekians in total on the entire planet. It also showed there was at least one of them with a decent powerlevel of a warrior. The rest where all normal villagers and children. It took him a lot longer then expected to get there. His last fight must have something to do with it. He wondered if it might be smart to locate a yellow star anyway, perhaps the namekians have a star chart. When he arrived he didn't seem to notice anything different in this village then in the last. However when he looked closer he noticed subtle differences that suggested that the village was not an actual village but a hoax. Below the earth there was a huge space, with a few more namekians present then his scouter showed. One of the fake villagers flew up too him.

"You must be Clark. The elder told us about you. Welcome."

"Where is he? Is he in space?"

"Yes he is, though we do not know about this green lantern corps we are now broadcasting on all frequencies for aid to our crisis. The elder was sure this corps would make contact. Do you wish to go too him now?" Superman looked up, he didn't sense the ship through the thick atmosphere. "Yes i would, i cannot locate him though so i must have directions to fly up there."

"Fly? How could you do that? Nothing can survive the vacuum of space without a spacecraft. We have one prepped for you. Shall i take you? The journey will only take a few seconds."

Superman looked at the man in surprise. "Oh... Well yes thank you. I was hoping you might have star charts lying around here. I wish to look at them." The Namekian thought for a minute while he escorted Superman too the spacecraft down below. They walked in one of the buildings. It was empty inside but superman saw through his super vision a staircase hidden by some sort of forcefield.

"Yes, we have a couple of old star charts laying around, but it would be easier to acces the ships main computer and ask information there. With that scouter on it will be able to understand your questions. The spaceship of the elder has an extensive database on all nearby systems in this quadrant." Superman was astonished. "Well excellent. One thing though. I would advice you to stop broadcasting any signals into space except the ones the elder is making. The pirates are coming here, they might try to scramble the signals." "Yes we know, we are trying to scramble theirs. Here is your ship." Superman knew they had everything under control and wouldn't be much help so he got into the pod without uttering another word and looking a bit embarassed. It was a small ship, bigger then a saiyan pod though. It had a few strange spikes sticking out of it, must be antenna's. It had a big blue ball of glass as a window. He could stand and there was a seat in the middle. He sat down into it while the Namekian closed the door. "Just talk too the computer." He mentioned before the door fully closed. Superman sat there a bit uncomfortable. Maybe he should have just flow there, it was what he was used to anyway. He looked around. He didn't see any computer.

"Uhm, hello?"

"Greetings."

Superman fell backwards off the seat in shock. A loud voice came from... Well, the ship. "Okay.. Could you take me too the elder's ship? It's up in space. I don't have any coordinates or something. I just..." "Setting course for spaceship 007." The ship shot up like a bat out of hell. Superman felt a slight increase of force in the ship but not much. A few seconds later the ship came too a stop almost as fast as it lifted up. Again Superman hardly felt the change of force. He stood up from the chair and looked out the window. In front of him, hanging in space was a ship much like the one he was in, only a lot bigger.

A voice again came from the ship. "Clark, i can see you from the window. Please wait, i'll start the docking sequence from here." Superman saw the elder waving from the other spaceship, appearently waving is the universal greeting sign. Well, at least some things are.

"Thats alright sir, if you could just open the door i will be arriving shortly. Computer, open the door." Superman just talked, guessing the elder could hear him. He didn't respond though. The computer did.

"Unable to comply, opening hatch will expose too vaccuum of space resulting in death."

"Thats okay computer, i can handle space. How do you think i got on this planet."

"Analyzing... Opening door. Have a nice day." The door opened. The air was sucked straight out, superman held his breath. He couldn't hold his breath as long as he did because of his powering down, same as with being able to cope with outspace. He flew as fast as he could too the other ship. He waved friendly at the Elder as he passed the window. The elder stood there with his eyes wide open and his hands on the glass. He couldn't believe it. The door of the larger spaceship opened. There was a seperate compartment insde, when he walked into it the outer door closed and the air and pressure was returned. The inner door opened and the Elder stood there.

"I don't believe it. I have heard of the races of old that could travel the reaches of space, but i never thought i would meet one. How do you feel?" Superman catched his breath. He felt a slight cramp in his neck but other then that it was just like other times he went into space.

"Oh i am fine. The Orange star took a great deal of my powers away. That fight with Nappa took even more away. Not as fast as i am used to." The elder looked astonished. He had million of questions but was interrupted by a bleep on the main console.

"message incoming." Said the computer. The elder rushed over and pushed a button. On the main windows a screen appeared. On it a face of an insect like being with four arms and green eyes. He had a long, pink face with spikes on the sides of it. It wore a green costume with a strange symbol on it.

"This is Lantern Salakk of the Green Lantern Corps calling you from Oa. We have received your distress call. However at the current time the Guardians are unable to provide your planet with aid." The image was a bit distorted but coming through. With his super hearing however Superman could hear there where others where Salakk was. Salakk was distracted by them and looked over. They spoke in alien languages, each another. The scouter had trouble translating them all. It suggested they where angry and one of them was leaving now. Salakk spoke too this one, warning him not to disobey the orders of the Guardians. The other person seemed to be without fear and told Salakk to stuff it where the scouter couldn't translate. Salakk then returned his attention too the monitor.

"Ahum, the guardians regret their decision and say they did not take this lightly. Some of the lanterns do not agree but i will not allow them to disobey the guardians." The feed was cut. They where on their own it seemed.

"Star charts." The elder looked at Superman. Superman looked at him. "I need to find a yellow star. My brother will arrive here soon. If i can power up i can meet these pirates in space and maybe stop them before they arrive."

The elder looked astonished "You think you can beat an entire army of pirates, just as strong as that big bald Saiyan? I think this Frieza is even stronger then the Saiyan Vegeta is."

"Oh, i have no doubt. But i can take them. I have to. We also must discuss the evacuation of your race off this world. If i or my brother fail."

The Elder nodded. "I already feared we had to. I am afraid that choice lies with our Father, Guru. We do have enough ships ready to take the population off this world in a matter of hours. I will go see him and meanwhile get the others to prepare for departure, i am sure our father will agree. Now, about these charts. I can ask the computer to find the nearest yellow star. Your ship will then take you there."

"Thank you"

The elder asked the ship for the nearest yellow star and it came up with one only a few lightyears away. It gave a live view of all happening thousands of miles away from the planet Namek. The pirates where close. Marks pod was further away unfortunately, the invasion fleet would arrive much sooner then him. The planet namek would be fully open to attack while both Superman and Mark where not present. They had to act fast. "The journey will take you at least 2 hours of your earth time(Superman quickly explained the earth time too the computer who calculated it into Namekian time and the other way around) and another 2 to get back."

"Oh, i won't need 2 hours to get back." Superman walked too the door. "Give the coordinates too the other ship. I must leave now. Talk too your father and start the evacuation as soon as you can. You only have maybe an hour." He stepped inside the chamber and the inner door closed. The elder nodded and headed back for the bridge. Superman opened the outer hatch and headed back too his own ship. It opened up itself when he got close too the door. When the door closed behind him the air and pressure was restored. He sat back into the chair again.

"Take me too the nearest yellow star, maximum speed."

"Acknowledged." The ship shot off into a direction. "Can i offer you some water?" The computer asked.

"Sure, why not?" From the side of the chair a bottle of water appeared. Superman took a sip, tasted just like regular tap water. He hoped there was not something besides water in it. "Do you have any food?" Superman wondered what these Namekians eat. "Unable to comply, word food unknown." Superman found that strange. They must eat something. The computer spoke again. "Shall i inform you of the advances of the pirate fleet?" "Yes please." A big screen popped up in front of him showing the fleet approaching in a sort of 2D style radar. "Give me all the information you can give about these ships and the people on them." The computer started showing all sorts of data. Superman read it all with care. He had 2 hours to learn as much as he could.

After an hour of looking at data the computer interrupted. "Mr. Clark, i have to inform that 3 objects have been detected approaching from outside the sector at FTL speeds. They appear to be small, perhaps 1 man pods. They are heading straight for the fleet. At the moment they are out of range of my monitors, but they will arrive at the enemy fleet who is nearly in orbit around the planet. ETA 3 minutes."

"Show me the fleet on screen then." The computer showed video images of telescopes looking into space from Namek. There he saw the fleet coming closer. He knew there where 15 ships in total, all different sizes and shapes. The one in the middle was the biggest, a sphere with yellow and blue windows all around and a big pruple one at what appeared to be the front. Frieza was in that one, along with about 70 others. There are no ships with the symbol that where on the saiyan pods. Thats symbol is for Saiyans alone then. Most ships do have ymbols, some are the same . One particulair group caught Supermans eyes, a group of 5 man pods wih the same symbol that flew in a perfect star formation. He couldn't identify the individual ships on the live telescope view however. He did notice a green glow becoming brighter from behind that fleet. "Mr. Clark sir, the elder has send a message that the Green Lantern corps has just arrived behind the pirate fleet. There are 3 lanterns currently engaged in combat."
