Chapter Huit – The sins of men
Vegeta sat in a healing tank, barely conscious as he seethed in his own rage.
How could he; the prince of all Saiyans, allow himself to be taken in so easily?
Now all he could do was wait for Frieza to come and begin torturing him.
No, he wouldn't allow this, he couldn't allow this. His blood literally began to boil as his eyes sprang open and he saw that the idiots had left only Appule to guard him.
Who did they think he was that they could leave someone so weak to guard him?
The very thought brought his anger to its peak and he let out a hoarse yell, blasting apart the glass of the healing chamber.
Quickly, the blast swallowed the diminutive alien and smoke rose from the room.
Like a beast rising from the pit, Vegeta climbed from the healing chamber.
He needed a distraction. He hated that idea so much that it hurt but it was the only way to remain alive right now. He swore that he would destroy that green faced pansy in the most painful way possible.
He would get revenge on them all.
"Ginyu, you better be here with those dammed scouters on double time or I'll-"
The tyrannical maniac was interrupted in his threats by the sound of a loud explosion somewhere in the ship.
Frieza growled angrily.
"Make that ****ing triple time Ginyu. No arguments." Frieza yelled, before turning around to Zarbon.
"Care to explain?" He said, grinding his teeth.
"I brought in Vegeta and left him in the medical bay, he must have-"
"Why did you leave him there?! Who did you leave guarding him?!" Frieza yelled.
"I... Appule, my lord." Zarbon said, his voice shaking.
"I'll deal with you later." Frieza said, "For now, we search this dammed ship until that fool of a monkey is sat quivering at my feet, begging for mercy."
Zarbon's eyes widened in fear and he bowed, running off into the ship's hallway.
Frieza turned the other way.
"You've taken your last favour, Vegeta, now it's all or nothing, you filthy monkey." Frieza said to himself as he walked down the corridor.
Unknown to him, Vegeta was actually a lot closer to home than one might imagine and was behind the door of the room opposite. He smiled widely.
"That's right Frieza, search all you like, you won't find me until it's much too late." Vegeta laughed, sliding out of the room and into Frieza's personal bay.
They were there, all five of the gems that Frieza had collected, laid out, ready for him to take. Take them he did. With a short blast of energy, the window of the ship shattered. Vegeta, knowing his time was short after the noise he'd made, quickly gathered the balls and threw them as hard as he could through the gap he'd made.
"GOODBYE FRIEZA." He yelled with a triumphant laugh, flying out onto the surface of Namek, then with a cocky smile plastered over his face, he dived into the waters of the Namekian Sea where no scout would ever find him.
Immortality was all but his.
Namek – A cave
"Are you sure this is safe, Mister Albino?" Cargo asked as they walked into the cave.
"It's Krillen, and yes, I know what I'm doing." The monk said. Soon they stumbled upon the capsule house that Bulma had made into her base. He knocked on the door.
The door was flung open and the blue haired woman stood in the doorway, her hands on her hips.
"Well look who's finally..." She began, but the look on Krillen's face stopped her.
"W-where's Tien?" She asked, looking as if he might just be hiding but Krillen shook his head.
"Just give me the Dragon Radar, please Bulma." He asked, keeping his voice as steady as he could. Bulma nodded and passed him the white machine.
"Krillen wait, I know you're rushing to get the Dragon Balls but I have some good news. Dad said that Goku and Gohan have set off and will be here soon." Bulma said. This made Krillen lighten up slightly. Not all was lost then, with Goku around, nothing could possibly go wrong.
"Sir? If you're looking for the Dragon Balls then we should go to Guru's. There's a Dragon Ball there." Cargo said.
"Who's this Guru? Is he important?" Krillen asked.
Cargo bit his tongue, the elders had warned him against insulting people's intelligence, thankfully, Dende answered for him.
"Very, sir. He's the father of all the Namekians here. He's like a saint, no a God to us." Dende said, reverently.
"I see, wait, is this the same as with Kami, if he dies, do the Dragon Balls go away?" Krillen asked the child.
"Yes! That's exactly what happens. How did you know, sir?" Dende asked in shock.
"It doesn't matter, we have to keep him safe. Do you know which direction he is?"
"Sure, follow me." Dende said. With that, the three bald guys flew off leaving Bulma wondering just what the hell had happened.
Flying over the Planet Namek was a slightly depressing feat. Krillen didn't want to say it out loud but everything looked the same. Sure it was pretty at first, but it was like listening to the same good music over and over; it was nice at first but got dull quickly. Even at Krillen's full speed (Hindered by either carrying or following the two young Namekians) the journey would take perhaps hours on end and he could already feel his eyelids drooping.
Some time later
"There! There it is!" Cargo said, pointing at a large, dome like structure on top of a pillar of naturally formed rock.
"Huh, what? Oh... right." Krillen suppressed the urge to yawn and flew down onto the outcrop by the door.
The door opened with no hinge and no sign of machinery just as it had on their ship and a tall Namekian with powerful muscles and fierce eyes came out.
"Wait... Piccolo?" Krillen asked. The Namekian warrior ignored him temporarily and addressed the children.
"Dende, Cargo, my brothers, it is good to see you alive and well. To you, Krillen, is it not? I am not the Piccolo that you speak of. I have heard much of you and what you wish to bring about. Please, come inside, the Grand Elder would like to converse with you." The Namekian said, ushering them inside.
The first thing he saw was the man sitting in the throne at the back of the room.
The creature was obviously Namekian with green skin and antennae, but unlike any other Namekian, he was morbidly obese and deathly old, his skin wrinkled like nothing. It was hard to tell, without using Ki sense, whether the old Namek was alive or not.
And then he noticed the other man in the room. The sight nearly made his heart stop right there and then.
"Tien... You... I felt you die... You're... how are you here?" Krillen asked.
Tien turned and opened his mouth to speak.
"All *cough* will be explained soon, my young warrior. We have much to discuss now." The old Namekian said, his voice, frail and weak.
"There are terrible-" he paused to let out a series of hacking coughs that made his whole body tremble. Eventually he recovered and continued on.
"- terrible forces at work on our planet. I spoke with this young warrior at length and I wish to entrust you with my Dragon Ball, but first, I must bestow upon you something that may be of assistance in your plight against this dark force that plagues us. Please, stand beside me." Guru said slowly so as not to cause another coughing fit.
Krillen was speechless and thus it took him a few moments to react and move over to the elder Namekian's side. Wordlessly, Guru placed his hand on top of Krillen's head. For a moment there was nothing then suddenly, Krillen felt new power bursting up through him, his white aura curling up around him. It was incredible, just through the Namekian's touch, the warrior's power had been increased exponentially.
"This... I feel incredible... what did you do?" Krillen asked.
"Every being has power and abilities hidden deep within them that they would never be able to find, even with the most extensive of training. My ability allows that power to be released. As you keep training, you will keep getting much stronger due to this. Please use it for the good of everyone." The old Namekian said.
"I have given your friend my Dragon Ball and you have my blessing. Please, save my people." He finished, sitting back, relieving the tension in his body.
"We'll do just that." Tien said, bowing.
"Come on Krillen, I too have a lot of explaining to do. You too best stay here, they are your family after all, and Nail can protect you." He said to the two Namekian children.
"Okay, mister big Albino." Cargo said, waving as the two warriors flew out of the door.
When the two were gone, Guru spoke again.
"Cargo, Dende, come to my side. I have a gift for you both. Please accept it." He said, barely able to smile for his youngest sons.
The two looked at each other and nodded before walking over to the Elder's side.
Outside Nail stood, meditating on what he had done.
He just hoped that the power he had earned from the act would be enough to keep Guru safe.
Space – Space (I don't know how space co-ordinates work, okay?)
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Goku threw a punch down at Gohan, aided by the one hundred times gravity in his descent, a red aura blazing around the two as they fought, their powerful blows shaking the ship.
Gohan reached up and blocked the blow with a yell, before twisting his body up to land a kick into Goku's stomach.
The impact threw the two apart. Both warriors were sweating like mad, down to only a shredded pair of trousers that barely covered their modesty, though it wouldn't have been anything either had not seen before.
Gohan sprung up and threw a punch at his father. Goku watched the blow and blocked it at the last moment, then, with a cross motion, he threw his arms down, sending Gohan's fist with them, leaving the boy open.
Goku dealt a powerful blow to the boy to punish him for leaving his guard so open, then stepped forward heavily, launching a Kiai charged with his power.
Goku had quickly mastered the Kaioken but did not dare raise it beyond the first form for fear of destroying the ship. The distracted thought left him open and an angry Gohan launched himself at his father, landing blow after blow against the older Saiyan. This however left the boy open once more and Goku struck him down with a powerful blow.
The boy's Aura flickered out and he lay panting for breathe, the intense gravity pulling him down. Goku smiled and let his own Kaioken taper out as he pressed the button that turned the gravity back to normal.
"You're so strong daddy. No one can beat you." Gohan said from the floor. Goku smiled at this, sure he was strong but Gohan was getting stronger by the day. He'd taught the boy forms and Kata and Ki since the day he could walk and the boy had progressed magnificently, however he still needed honing. His fighting style was still a little open and sloppy with much to be desired and he had spent all the boy's life, teaching him the turtle style.
Then last year had happened and the boy was forced to learn the Kaio style.
The Kaio style clashed quite badly with the turtle style and the boy did not have the capacity to fluidly switch between the two just yet. To make it worse, Tien had overestimated the chid and tried to engrave the crane style into his mind. As smart as Gohan was, it was a bit much to expect a child to be able to switch between three complex styles of martial arts without difficulty.
While on the ship, Goku had made the boy start over and learn everything again. Sometimes, it was the best way to train and he himself had learned much from the fights. Both of them had got much stronger, and in truth, in terms of raw power, Gohan was coming close to surpassing him. The thought made him proud.
"Say, daddy?" Gohan asked.
"What's up, son?"
"You're a Saiyan, right?"
"Well yes, that's what I am."
"That makes me a Saiyan too, right?"
"Well, yeah, I guess so."
"I... but all the Saiyans sound so bad and evil and I don't want to be like that." Gohan said with a tiny frown.
"Son, you're a Saiyan, so what? You're the kindest and smartest little guy I know. Look, if it means so much to you then, your mother was Human. The Human-est Human to ever walk the Earth. If being Saiyan is so bad, then just be Human instead, how does that sound?" Goku asked kindly.
"That sounds much better daddy, thank you." Gohan smiled.
"Come on, we'll be at Namek soon. Get some rest so we can train a little before we get there."
"Okay daddy."
"Oh, and son? I'm proud of you, whether you're a Saiyan or a Human, I'm just really proud of you." Goku said, smiling happily as they walked together to eat what would be their last meal together for a very long time.
Namekian plains
Vegeta sat by the five Dragon balls that he'd collected from Frieza's ship. It was really about time he got onto finding the others, but moving about wasn't the safest thing to do at the moment. Then he sensed a burst of power, and another.
Slowly, he rose into the sky. What was that? Sure both were insignificant compared to him but still...
"VEGETAAAAA." The most annoying voice in the galaxy cried out.
Vegeta turned around and smirked. Zarbon. Alone and flustered, just ready to be struck out of the sky. Why did none of them remember that Saiyans got so much stronger when you beat them to a pulp then let them heal?
Oh well, it let him get one hell of a boost.
"My Zarbon, how... lovely it is to see you again." Vegeta said sarcastically.
"I don't know why you're so confident Vegeta, I brought you in once and I can do it again." Zarbon said with an arrogant smirk of his own.
"You would think that, wouldn't you? But letting me heal after beating me down was the worst mistake you ever made. So go ahead and transform, Zarbon. I'm going to have fun with this." Vegeta said, letting out a laugh.
Zarbon growled but then smirked. Vegeta was making this easy for him, he shouldn't really complain. Wordlessly, Zarbon let the power overtake him and turn him into a monster once more.
When the monstrous transformation was done with, Zarbon looked towards Vegeta. Sorry, towards where Vegeta had been.
Zarbon's eyes widened as a pair of fists struck the top of his head with the force of a crate of bricks.
Vegeta laughed, watching as he fell, before speeding up to catch him. With a arrogant smirk, Vegeta slammed into the other warrior, throwing him to the ground with a blast of Ki.
"Vegeta, wait, I- GAAH." Zarbon coughed up a bunch of blood as Vegeta's hand forced its way into his stomach, ripping through the skin as if it were paper.
"Vegeta, you need me... I... The Ginyus are coming... You need my he-"
"Even if you're telling the truth, I do not need help from a corpse. GALICK SHINE!" He yelled, firing the purple beam through him, destroying him in an instant, then without any remorse, he threw the body into the sea of Namek.
He looked to the sky, scowling. If the Ginyus really were coming then he best get to work as quickly as possible.
He landed on the ground below, burying the Dragon Balls. Best not to leave them out in the open, after all. Then he sat on the pile of newly dug dirt and began meditating. It was hard to look for power levels with Frieza on the planet at his level of sensing ability as he was drawn to the deep, dark power as if it were a magnet.
He growled heavily as he wondered how he would go about finding the rest of the balls.
After all, it's not like anyone made a radar for this shit... Right?
The cave
"ACHOOO." Bulma sneezed loudly as she sipped water.
"Huh, wonder who's talking about me? Oh who am I kidding, I'm the beautiful Bulma Briefs." She said giggling loudly. She was replied with silence
"Kami I'm so alone..."
Namekian sky – I have no more jokes about this
"So Tien, tell me, what happened to you? I swear I sensed your Ki fall to nothing. By all accounts, that means you're dead, yet here you are." Krillen asked as they flew over the plains of Namek, following the Dragon radar.
"I owe it you, I guess. Well, I started fighting that Frieza guy but the Namekian Elder breathed something into me something that left him dead. After that, I threw up a level 25 Kaioken. Safe to say that it hurt like hell. I blasted him with everything I had but it still wasn't enough. He was too strong. Then, he hit me with a blast that should have killed me and would have killed me if it weren't for the Namekian Elder.
According to some kind of magical recording he left in my head, he literally gave me his life to protect mine, essentially giving me an extra life, a 1-up if you must. He asked me to take the unconscious Namekian warriors to Guru." Tien said.
"Wait, how'd they survive?" Krillen said.
"Namekians are quite durable, remember how Goku beat the hell out of Piccolo, yet he was still able to go for a long time? Well, these guys have been trained for it. They were badly wounded and bleeding though, on the verge of death. Three of them survived and I managed to get them there. Once I got there, I met Nail. At first he was suspicious but one of the warriors told him that I was a pure man.
I watched the four talking, it was intriguing. They asked Nail to allow them to fuse with him. Apparently, it would make them much stronger but they would all become a part of Nail, the strongest among them. Nail kept refusing on the grounds that the technique was sacred and forbidden. Eventually, I stepped in and told him of how strong Frieza truly was and how far I alone had to push just to burn him and piss him off a little. At this, Nail accepted and asked that I go inside and speak with the Elder, knowing I was there for a reason. He told me he'd rather not have me present. So I went in and talked to Guru. He talked with me a while and told me that there was darkness in my heart, not much but enough for him to sense. He could tell my intentions were pure though and gave me the same boost as he did to you, even saying that I had even more potential that I could unlock personally. He then passed the Dragon ball down to me." He said showing Krillen a capsule he'd been keeping safe.
"Then he asked me to meditate on the source of the darkness in my heart and Nail must have done the fusion because his power sky rocketed, then soon after, you came." Tien said, flying.
"Ehh... Right, I'll say I understood then. So, about these Dragon Balls. We have the one off on its own and the five in a group." Krillen said.
"Yes, I can sense a group of Namekians off in the direction of the lone ball, as well as a power near the five balls. I'll deal with that, you go to the Namekians. Be careful." Tien said, turning and flying off towards the five balls.
"Right Tien." Krillen said, flying towards the lone Dragon Ball.
Guru's lookout
Guru let out a sigh and coughed anxiously.
"My sons, come hither." He said, beckoning Nail, Cargo and Dende.
"In my old age, I have become forgetful, I have forgotten that the Earthlings will likely not know the password for our Dragon Balls, please, all of you, go to them."
"But sir, I am bound to protect you and stay by your side." Nail said.
"That binding was undone when you took part in that act of Sacrilege Nail. There is a reason that the technique is forbidden. I know that you had and still have good intentions but I am still quite disappointed in you." The elder Guru said.
"Now go." Guru said with an air of finality. Nail actually let out a tear as he turned around and guided the children out. Both boys had received a boost from Guru and could now fly faster than ever. All three flew off to meet with the Earthlings.
"I am sorry, my son but my death approaches. It was perhaps cruel to say such things but I would rather you not be here to see what comes." The guru said, his own tears falling onto his clothes.
"Goodbye... My son."
Vegeta and his balls
Vegeta's eyes snapped open as a power level much higher than his own approached.
"W-what is this? It's powerful, much stronger than I am, but I don't sense any darkness in it? How could any of those Namekian's be..." Then he saw who it was, the three eyed freak from Earth who's attack had caused him so much pain and embarrassment.
"NO. NO! I... you can't be this strong!" Vegeta said, gritting his teeth, squeezing his own fists tight.
"Feel it and believe it." Tien said, unleashing a small amount of his newfound power from his body.
"NO! I REFUSE TO DIE HERE." Vegeta screamed, letting out his own aura, powering up to his maximum.
"If you fight me, you will die. KAIOKEN." Tien said, crossing his arms.
"I WILL BE THE ONE TO KILL FRIEZA!" Vegeta screamed.
Tien's eyes widened momentarily and he let go of the Kaioken.
"Repeat that for me, would you?" Tien said scathingly.
"What? Why? I will be the one to destroy Frieza, no matter what happens here." Vegeta said, stepping forward.
"..." Tien thought for a second then reached out his hand.
"If we both want to destroy Frieza then, despite what you've wrought, it makes us allies, at least for now." He said. Vegeta's eyes widened and then narrowed as he snarled.
"I don't need your help. I don't need anyone's help, ever" He growled.
"Your scouters work in numbers, what amount would you say you're at right now?"
"30,000 maybe more."
"And myself?"
"... 55,000 at least."
"Frieza is at least ten times that power with even more hidden up his sleeve. I need help, you need help. Even if my allies get here soon, we're going to need more power. Vegeta let out a scream, the earth cracking beneath him.
Never had he felt so helpless. He had known that Frieza had power, even a transformation, but so much? Was he so hopelessly outclassed?
Suddenly Tien looked up, his eyes widening, what was that he felt approaching the planet.
"What? What is it?" Vegeta growled
"I sense five power levels, heavy with dark intent. All but one are weaker than me."
"No! The Ginyu force!" Vegeta cried out in rage.
"Alright baldy, now I need your help. They'll slaughter us all." Vegeta said angrily, turning and digging up the balls that he had hidden.
"We need to find the other two balls fast, if I can just wish for immortality, then I can defeat them." Vegeta said, throwing the balls down.
"That wouldn't be a good idea, as strong as you are, you'd just be blasted away over and over again by Frieza, or if any one let wind of it, he'd just capture you and lock you up for all eternity or until the immortality somehow wore off." Tien stated.
Vegeta growled. The asshole was right. Even with Zenkai boosts, it wouldn't take Frieza long to work it out, and once that happened, he'd do just what Tien had said.
"Well do you have any better ideas?" Vegeta growled.
"I do. Though I will have to play using the Dragon's rules. According to the eldest Namek, you need to state your wishes in Namekian. The dragon will grant any three wishes, however, it can only bring one person back from the dead at the time and it cannot do anything to affect those who are stronger than its creator, alongside that, if the creator dies without passing on the power of the dragon, then the Dragon Balls become useless." Tien stated.
"So what are you planning to do?" Vegeta said.
"First, I wish Piccolo, the Namekian you killed on earth, back, that will cause the Dragon Balls of Earth to be reborn. Using those ones, I will have a friend wish to bring back everyone that Frieza and his subordinated killed. I'll come back to this later. With the second wish, I will bring Piccolo here so that he can help in the fight. I know that you will scoff at this but every little bit of help we can get will be beyond useful here. I will then use the last wish to remove everyone but Frieza, his subordinates and those who want to fight him from the planet and put them on Earth." Tien said.
"That's all good, but why are you bringing those we killed back? They'll just be killed again." Vegeta said, crossing his arms.
"Because then I can use the attack that I used to defeat you, only on a bigger scale. It gathers power from every living thing from the planet. The more people on the planet, the more powerful the attack, and if you take power from the sun, like I did, then you have one hell of a lot of power on your hands. The real reason I'm bringing Piccolo back is because it takes time to charge the attack and that will make me a target."
"Humph, fine, I'll allow this, but only because I want Frieza dead more than you can possibly know." Vegeta scowled.
"Hay, Tien, I brought some friends." Krillen said, landing down on the grass beside Tien, holding the six star ball, Cargo, Dende and Nail right behind him.
"I got the last ball let's... It's Vegeta!" He screamed, going into the turtle stance.
"Relax Krillen, for now, you need not worry." Tien said.
"Unless you piss me off." Vegeta growled.
"R-right, so I guess we should get to wishing." Krillen said.
"That would be a..." Nail had begun talking but had turned his head suddenly.
"F-Frieza... He's going towards Guru's! I... I'm sorry, I have to stop him!" The warrior Namekian said, blasting off, faster than anyone had ever seen before.
"Come on quickly, Tien, tell these kids what to wish for, we need to hurry."
"Right, I guess this is where the assault on Frieza truly begins."
Frieza's flying saucer of doom – Several minutes ago
Frieza watched through the window of his ship as five space balls crashed into the planet's surface and rose up to meet those whom where his most elite forces. The Ginyus. He rose out of the roof of his craft to meet them and was greeted by one of their strange dances. He would have to stop them from doing that one day.
"Sir, we have brought the scouters that you asked for." Jeice, the red skinned one with a space Australian accent said. Frieza put the scouter on his face and turned it on.
"Good work men, now, I'd like you to stand down for a little while, guard the ship... no, fix it up, I want it working by the time I get back." Frieza said.
"Yes my lord." The Ginyus said in unison. Frieza smiled as he watched his loyal subjects get to work. Now, to find Vegeta and kill him for the dragon balls.
He found a small, fading power level on the edge of his scouter.
"That can't be him... unless, he caught Zarbon by surprise and somehow won while getting wounded in the process." He said to himself, before flying in the direction of the dying power.
It took time, even with Frieza's speed, to get to where the dying power was situated.
A large white house on a pillar of naturally formed rock.
Frieza landed on the outcrop of rock and blasted open a hole in the side of the house, looking in. To his surprise, he found not Vegeta, but an old, bloated Namekian.
"Good space Kami, I was led to believe that your people survived solely on water, how is it possible that you have grown to be such a size?" Frieza asked, a hint of disgust in his voice.
"When we Namekians begin to die, we swell up in size. It is not so unusual." Guru said, his voice shallow and breathy now. Suddenly, the sky turned dark as night, lightning flashing in the distance. Guru frowned.
"Wha-What's happening? This planet has tree suns, night shouldn't ever come!" Frieza said, surprised.
"The storms on Namek happen not often, but when they come, they come suddenly and violently." Guru spoke.
"It matters not, old man. Do you have a Dragon Ball? And where might I find the rest?" Frieza asked, hovering in front of the hole he'd made.
"Why do you not check with the chamber of commerce?" Guru said simply, a gentle smirk appearing on his mouth.
"The chamber is dead and so will you if you don't give me what I want."
"My dear child, do not have a tantrum." Guru coughed, wishing he could lift his hand so he could waggle his finger as if he was telling Frieza off.
"Why you slug!" Frieza growled, pointing his finger at the old Namekian. With a flare of Ki, he fired a death beam, killing the old man instantly. As suddenly as that, the sky turned light as day again. Frieza shook his head angrily and flew back to the ship. He had to assume that either Vegeta was dead or much stronger.
What scared him was that group of high powers on the edge of his scouter. He would gather the Ginyu force and take care of it, one way or another. Then no one would stand in the way of his wish.
Namekian sky
Nail felt it, saw the sky turn light sooner than it should have. Guru had been slain and it was all his fault. He had gained more power than ever yet he had still not been able to protect his father.
As he flew in, he noticed another Namekian. It was like looking into a reflection, at least, before the fusion, and without those ridiculous clothes. Who wears a turban nowadays? Regardless, Nail landed.
"You must be the Namekian from Earth I have been told so much about." Nail said.
The other Namekian turned around.
"You look like me... Yes, I'm Piccolo, and those idiots phrased the wish wrong so I ended up out here, rather than with them." He growled, palming his forehead.
"You're here to fight Frieza then?" Nail asked.
"I don't have a chance, I've trained long and hard but nothing would prepare anyone against that guy." He said, clenching his fists.
"What if I told you that I had a way to make you strong enough to defeat him?"
"I'm listening." Piccolo said.
"It will erase my existence by fusing my body and power into you. It might sound undesirable but that's how it works." Nail said.
"I don't like this, just so you know. How do we start?" Piccolo said.
"All you have to do is put your palm upon my chest and accept this." Nail said.
"Let's do this then." Piccolo said, putting his hand upon Nail as he had asked.
Suddenly, a bright blue flash filled the air and Nail was gone, leaving Piccolo standing alone.
"This power... Oh my other me, it's incredible, and it's all mine! Goku, I have surpassed you at last." Piccolo laughed, taking to the air and blasting off toward the soon to be battlefield.
Back at Frieza's space disk of doom
"GINYU FORCE!" Frieza screamed as he landed near his ship. Almost instantly, they appeared, the five of his strongest / most talented men.
"Yes, my Lord?" Ginyu said.
"On your scouters, you will find a group of three powers." Frieza said.
"Oh? Yes, I see, what do you want with them, my lord? Their powers are quite insignificant." Ginyu asked.
"What?" Frieza growled and checked his own scouter. Ginyu was right, now the powers were no higher than one thousand or so. What was this? Two of those powers had been in the tens of thousands.
"Ginyu, they are repressing their power levels, one of them has a power of fifty thousand or more. I want you to deal with them."
"Right away."
"Now. No dances."
"Of course, my lord." Ginyu said, bowing.
"GINYU FORCE, AWAY!" He yelled, blasting off with his men.
Frieza shook his head and went inside his ship for a sit down with more wine.
"Cap'n what are we dealing with here?" Jeice said.
"I'm not sure Jeice, but if they can hide their power levels then they know we're coming ." Ginyu said.
"I see them captain." Recoome said, pointing ahead.
There they were, Vegeta, two pale faced men they didn't recognise and two child Namekians.
"You must be the Ginyu force." Tien said, widening his stance.
"Cargo, Dende, hide. Please." Krillen said to the children in a hushed voice. The two boys fled and hid themselves behind a rock.
"Vegeta, you fight the big one, I'll fight the two in the middle and Krillen can fight four eyes, does that sound alright to you?" Tien said.
"What about Ginyu?"
"HAY! Ginyu! Stand down, we'll fight your cronies first, then it's you next." Tien shouted. Ginyu laughed.
"I doubt you'll ever get past my force, we are elite, veterans of the cold army.
WE. ARE. THE GINYU FORCE!"

Alright, that's another chapter done and dusted, onto the next one where we'll be seeing some hot Frieza on monkey action, as well as the fights with the Ginyu force where Vegeta gets to kick a little ass.
Thank you all for reading, please review.
Was the addition of music into this a good idea? If not, I'll exclude it next time.

As for why Vegeta didn't just create a fake moon to crush Tien into the dirt since he still had his tail; He wasn't thinking straight and neither was I.
In any case, goodnight all you good people.
