Race for the Namekian Dragonballs
After the battle the trio of survivors were picked up by ChiChi, Bulma, Master Roshi, Oolong, and Puar. They delivered the good news of victory, but also the tragic news of the loss of their friends. At the insistence of ChiChi the trio of warriors was taken to the hospital to be checked up on after battle. Tien suffered from nothing more than a few sprains and bruises, but Goku had damaged his right leg keeping him grounded for a few weeks. Gohan suffered from a case of broken ribs that would also keep him suspended from action.
"The both of you out roughing it for a year and just look what happens. Without me watching over you, you've run yourselves into the ground. After this no training for a month!" declared the head of the Son family.
"BUT MOM/CHICHI!!!" both Saiyans moaned respectively.
"No buts! We're going to be spending some quality time as a family and that's final!" she declared.
"Don't worry Piccolo taught me the multi-form technique. As soon as we get out of here, I'll teach it to you so we can sneak away and train." Gohan whispered to Goku.
"What are we going to do about the Dragon Balls?" asked Bulma.
"Vegeta said that Piccolo and Kami came from planet Namek. They must have their own Dragonballs there." replied Tien.
"Yeah, but how do we find them or even get there?" questioned Bulma.
"Does it even still exist?" questioned Master Roshi.
"I don't know about getting there, but I know someone who can find it for us." replied Goku, 'Hey King Kai did you get all that?'
'Yes now let me see...Ahh Planet Namek is still there and the population is rebuilding about 100 Namekians are living there now. It's location is in a trinary star system at coordinates 9045XY' communicated King Kai back to all those in the room.
"Wow, whatever hit them must have been harsh only 100?" pondered Gohan.
"That really doesn't matter, the real question is how are we going to get there? At those coordinates it would take 4300 years to get there by our fastest current ship!" said Bulma.
"What about those solo space pods the saiyans used. The big guys is out there somewhere." replied Tien.
"Yeah, that remote we found on that big guys armor must be for his pod. If you could replicate their engine we should be able to get to Namek in no time." said Gohan.
"Okay let me see..." said Bulma pulling out the remote they found.
"Don't touch it! We don't know how it works yet. You might send it back where it came from. We'll just find it and carry back to Capsule Corp after we get out of here." ordered Gohan.
"Yeah, but what if somebody finds it before then?" asked Goku.
"You guys can just say that is was one of my dad's prototypes, they'll leave it alone." supplied Bulma.
Suddenly the window opened and Yajirobi jumped through.
"You guys are lucky Korin is always thinking ahead. Saving a sensu bean for after you guys nearly get yourselves killed." gloated the fat man.
"Hey! My husband and son did all the work, show a little gratitude!" yelled ChiChi bashing him over the head.
"Okay! Okay! Here you go! Only one left so split it between you. I'm outta here!" Yajirobi tossed Goku the sensu bean before jumping back out the window into his waiting hover car..
"Never seen him move that fast, must be rushing to get some food." muttered Gohan as Tien snickered in response. Goku split the bean and half and tossed Gohan his portion.
"Hey, no unauthorized foods in the hospital!" yelled a Doctor who just entered the room.
"No problem we'll be out of here soon enough." declared Goku as he and Gohan ate their half-beans and returned to full strength.
"Now where was that space ship?" stated Goku rubbing his hands together.
"Oh no you don't! You two are coming home with me right now! Now way your jumping off on another one of your crazy adventures!" ordered ChiChi.
"Ah, man!" groaned Goku.
"We're only going to pick it up. It won't be ready for a couple months. Besides mom, you've cook, cleaned, and looked after us forever. Just consider it an extended vacation. we won't be gone long." suggested Gohan.
Bulma taking the hint elaborated, "Yeah let the men do all the work for once, there's this new mall that opened up in West City..."
"Hopefully this will be a quick trip for the dragonballs and we won't run into too much trouble." stated Tien.
-Frieza Outpost Planet 79-
After a few days of travel Vegeta's space pod closed in on its destination. Two blue lizard aliens sat in the incoming command dock of the Frieza military base. A green fish alien commander stood behind them pacing back in forth. Suddenly an incoming ship registered in their monitors.
"Sir, the pod, it's Prince Vegeta! He seems to be badly damaged!" stated one of the aliens at the controls.
"Prep a rejuvenation tank now!" ordered the commander.
"Yes, sir!" replied the other proceeding to punch several commands into his console.
'Your one of our best fighters, what the hell could have done this to him?' thought the commander.
The speakers outside the command center blasted with the commanders orders.
"Attention all available personal! Prepare the landing dock and medical bay for the arrival of Vegeta!"
The various workers scrambled to prepare for his arrival and soon the space pod docked into the bay. The crew members opened the pod to transport Vegeta to a rejuvenation chamber in the medical bay.
"Damn, there's only one! Whatever got to him must have taken out Nappa!" exclaimed one of the workers.
"What the hell did they run into out there?" questioned another.
--
The next day Vegeta was completing his examination with a medic after his exit from the rejuvenation chamber.
"You were lucky to survive what ever you ran into out there. If you arrived any later we might have lost you. What happened out there on Earth?" asked the medic.
"Doesn't matter, I need to know where Frieza is." replied Vegeta dodging the question.
"He went of on some mission to Namek and you're in no condition to go gallivanting off on another mission. You need more time before you're one hundred percent." said the Doctor.
"You must not now Saiyans very well. I'm better than I've ever been before. Now I've got business to take car of so I'm outta here." replied Vegeta now suited up in a new set of armor marching out the door.
"Wait you need a new scouter!" yelled the medic.
"The only thing that blasted device is good for is relaying my location and information to Frieza." retorted Vegeta as he headed for the docking bay to get to his pod, 'That fucking lizard is after the dragonballs no doubt, but the only one gaining immortality will be me. After I finish you Frieza then I'll deal that stupid boy and his idiot father!'
Soon his pod was seen blasting off towards planet Namek.
-Capsule Corporation-
After a couple months of hard work Dr Briefs had finally completed the large space pod that would send the group to Namek. During this time Goku, Tien, and Gohan engaged in some light training on the thought they might encounter Vegeta again on their quest for the Dragonballs. Currently the group had gathered at Capsule Corp to prepare for departure with Dr. Briefs giving them a tour of the spaceship.
"Ah, yes I must say that this beauty is my finest work. I managed include several bedrooms, two training rooms a double stocked kitchen and that was all done a month ago! There was really only one thing I was installing this past month to finish it." stated Dr. Briefs.
"Oh, what new feature did you put in?" asked Gohan.
"Why a cappuccino machine of course! No good day starts without one!" proclaimed Dr. Briefs.
"You're telling me that WE COULD HAVE BEEN GONE A MONTH AGO, BUT YOU DECIDED TO PUT IN A STUPID CAPPUCCINO MAKER!" yelled Bulma.
"I'd say it was worth it. This is great!" exclaimed Gohan. Bulma turned to see the three fighters all drinking freshly made cappuccinos.
"Mm-hm! Delicious!" muttered Goku between sips.
"Got a real pick me up to it!" added Tien.
"I'm surrounded by morons." uttered Bulma in shame.
"Alright then you should be good to go. Have a safe trip!" said Dr. Briefs as he stepped out of the ship.
"Have a safe trip! Gohan keep your father out of trouble!" yelled a waving ChiChi.
"Shouldn't that be the other way around?" questioned Tien.
"No, dad has yet to learn how to avoid the frying pan." replied Gohan.
"Yeah, Gohan has gotten hit in like three years." said Goku scratching the back of his head.
"QUIT STANDING AROUND LIKE IDIOTS AND GET TO YOUR SEATS!" roared Bulma from the controls.
The three fighter jumped into action moving to their seats and buckling in as the engine powered up. The door to then ship closed and it blasted off towards its destination.
-Planet Namek-
"Frieza's here, but it doesn't look like he's gotten that much of a head start." said Vegeta as he stood in front of his space pod, "I just need to get the dragonballs before him and he'll be nothing to me."
"No way that's going to happen Vegeta!"
Vegeta turned to see Cui standing there behind him.
"What do you want fish-head?" grunted Vegeta.
"I'm here to stop you're foolish rebellion against Lord Frieza!"
"What makes you think you can do that?"
"Last time I checked your power was equal to mine."
"I done a lot of fighting since then, there's a reason I've distanced my self from you losers these past few years, I didn't want to reveal my true strength until i was ready to take on the big bastard himself!"
"Haha! You're no match for Lord Frieza!"
"I'm more than enough for you." declared Vegeta as he powered up, "I'll make sure to tell Frieza your services were no longer required!"
--
"Sir, Vegeta has landed here he appears to be facing Cui." declared Dodoria.
"I know, but he is no threat even if he manages to defeat Cui." replied the short pink alien with horns.
"Like, that will happen. The saiyan should know his place." stated Zarbon.
"You're right," replied Dudoria clicking his scouter, "WHAT IS THIS VEGETA AT 30,000!"
"Your scouter must be broken let me check, what that's impossible! I had heard rumors than maybe he'd jumped to 24,000 but this is ridiculous." said Zarbon.
"Stop worrying so much. That monkey is still no match for me. Come along we have Namekians to kill and dragonballs to fetch." ordered Frieza.
--
"What the hell is this! How can you have this much power!" exclaimed a panicking Cui.
"Easy! A Saiyan gets stronger with every battle! While you've been lazing about, I've been gaining power by challenging myself against the toughest opponents!" declared Vegeta.
Vegeta rocketed forward landing a punch to Cui's gut forcing him to double over before smashing from overhead down into the ground. The fish-faced warrior struggled to his feat gasping in pain.
"H-H-How can this be possible!" grunted Cui as he staggered. He threw punch at the smirking saiyan only to hit nothing.
"You're not even worth the effort." stated Vegeta. Cui looked up to see Vegeta powering up a blast.
"No!" screamed Cui as Vegeta fired incinerating him on contact.
"What a weakling, I didn't even get go full power. Now time to find some dragonballs." said Vegeta as he flew off.
-Somewhere in Space-
"So how much longer until we reach Namek?" asked Tien sitting with Bulma at the controls of the ship.
"A little less than a week, shouldn't you be training with those two?" replied Bulma.
"I'm taking a break. I can't keep up with those guys right now they are ridiculously strong. Every day they seem to go up in gravity." he answered.
"They couldn't have moved up that much." said Bulma.
"You don't believe me? Then come see. I bet they're at 25 times gravity right now." declared Tien as the two marched toward the training room Goku and Gohan were using. When they arrived they saw the gravity machine at one hundred and Goku and Gohan struggling to walk. Bulma rushed over to the outside controls for the gravity console and shut it down.
"I'm sorry guys something must have to thrown the machine out of whack." said Bulma.
"Huh? Why'd you stop it we had began to be able to walk." replied Goku.
"ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO KILL YOURSELVES! 100 TIMES GRAVITY!" screamed Bulma.
"Well, dad accidentally set it to 100 when we're supposed be warming up at ten yesterday." replied Gohan.
"Yeah, but after we felt it we had to conquer that level! Something that intense will make us ridiculously strong." said Goku as Gohan nodded in agreement.
Tien merely chuckled at their antics while Bulma stood there staring with her jaw dropped and her eyes wide as dinner plates.
"You guys really are insane..." uttered Bulma as she walked away.
