Ginyu smirked at Goku as he hovered in front of him. I can't beat him…yet, but he's gonna help me become stronger.

Goku became confused. "Why aren't you scared? I'm stronger then you."

"It's true. You are stronger than me. However, I still have a trick up my sleeve."

As Ginyu raised his fist, Goku prepared himself for an attack that never came by blocking.

To his, and Vegeta's surprise Ginyu his himself in the gut, causing a hole to appear in his gut.

"Wh-what? Why did you hurt yourself? Have you gone mad?"

"No my friend, but you might, after I do this! Change now!" A flash of light engulfed Goku.

At first Goku tried to block, but he soon found that he couldn't feel anything.

What's going on? I feel so…numb…is that…my body?

Goku saw his body hovering in front of him with a smirk. It wasn't long before he felt pain.

"Ah…what's going on? Why can I see myself? And why…am I in such pain?"

Ginyu smirked as he now resided in Goku's body. "I have used a special technique of mine to switch bodies with you. That's why I harmed myself earlier. You can barely move, while I have a body that's stronger then ever."

"Oh no!" Goku clutched the spot where the hole was. He slowly sank to the ground.

Ginyu smirked. "Now to deal with Vegeta."

Vegeta smirked and rose into the air. "Even if you do have Kakarot's body, you don't have his mind, and don't know how to use his power."

Ginyu smirked. "We'll see. I was stronger than you before, but now I'm much stronger than you."

"Take this! Saturday Crush!" Raditz attack sent Jeice flying back.

Jeice slowly pulled himself out of a crater. "I'll get you saiyan trash!"

"Then why don't you stop talking and start acting?" Raditz smirked and crossed his arms in over his chest.

"Rrrraaaarrr! I'll kill you!" An enraged Jeice rushed forward at Raditz.

Raditz stepped out of the way at the last minute. "You'll have to do better than that." He grabbed Jeice's hair to stop him and kicked him in the back.

Jeice spit up some blood. The pain was immense, but he wasn't finished yet. "Alright then! Take this!" Jeice broke Raditz' grip on his hair by kicking him with both his legs in the gut.

Raditz flew back a few feet to avoid being hit by a physical attack.

Jeice fired a barrage of red ki blasts that all hit Raditz.

"Ah! Darn it!" Raditz blocked the attacks, but could not see Jeice when he looked again. Where is he?

Jeice had hid himself behind a rock. I can't beat him head on. I'll have to wait for the right opportunity.

Piccolo was at the mercy of Burter and his superior speed.

"What's wrong? Am I too fast?" Burter hit Piccolo from behind, then vanished and reappeared behind him, knocking him down again.

As Piccolo stood up, he saw that his leg was broken. Darn, I'll have to heal it. Just need to distract this guy.

Burter smirked. "I seems your leg is broken." He then noticed Jeice hiding from Raditz. "I think I'll help Jeice since you won't be going anywhere." Burter flew to where Jeice was hiding.

"Burter? What are you doing here?"

"The green guy's leg his broken, he won't be troubling us any time soon. I just though I'd help you finish this."

"Why don't we show this guy the purple comet?"

Burter grinned. "Sounds good."

"So there you are. I was beginning to think I'd never find you." Raditz was hovering over Burter and Jeice.

Burter smirked. "It's time. Purple comet!"

Burter and Jeice took off towards Raditz at a fast speed. Burter had a blue aura, and Jeice had a red aura, but to Raditz the auras seemed to merge into a purple aura.

"What's going on?" Raditz wasn't able to black the attack.

The two auras smashed into Raditz, causing him to go flying a distance away. They went behind him and hit him again before he could recover.

Piccolo had started the healing process. It'll take a few minutes for me to fix this leg. I have a technique I can use to help me beat them.

Recoome and Nappa seemed evenly matched in terms of brute strength. Neither one could make the other budge.

Nappa was growing tired of the grappling and wanted to end the fight as soon as possible. Darn…I can't push this guy back.

Nappa then had an idea. He allowed Recoome to push him back, and rolled onto his back, kicking Recoome off of him.

Recoome went flying and hit a rock, shattering it. He was not happy when he got up.

"You…your gonna pay for that."

"Oh really?" Nappa raised his middle and index finger.

Recoome was suddenly surrounded by ki, which exploded. He could not escape and was forced to take the full force of the blast.

When the smoke cleared Recoome was still standing, but he had burn marks all over him, and his armor was gone. The jumpsuit beneath the armor was in shreds.

"I'm mad now!"

"I'll have to finish you off now." Nappa charged at Recoome, who he thought was too weak to put up much of a fight.

"Recoome Boom!" Recoome dodged Nappa's attack and hit him in the back.

Nappa gasped as he fell to the ground. He found it hard to get up. His grappling match had taken a bigger toll on him than he thought.

Nappa and Recoome were back to square one. Both were tired and weakened.

"Recoome Mouth Blast!" Recoome fired a blast out of his mouth.

Nappa countered with his own mouth blast, and the two were trying to push each other back again. They both knew that the looser of this energy clash would die since the explosion would happen where the head was.


Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chaotzu landed at Namekian congregation.

Krillin, Yamcha, and Chaotzu stared at the nameks with wonder. They all looked somewhat like Piccolo.

Krillin sensed the battle with the Ginyu force. "I think Goku might need our help. What if the saiyans turn on him after they defeat the Ginyu Force you told us about?"

"I don't know Krillin," replied Tien, "but Piccolo's there with him. They saiyans probably won't team up with him. So at least he'll have some back up."

"Hey look." Yamcha pointed at the tall rock from with a building on top. He saw Gohan and Fasha emerging from it. "That must be Gohan and the saiyan lady you told us about Tien."

Gohan and Fasha had their hidden powers awakened and were ready to fight.

"Fasha, should we go to where the Ginyu Force is to help the others?"

"No. We can sense to battle from here. It doesn't seem like they would need our help right now."

"Hey, Gohan." Krillin ran up to Gohan and Fasha, followed by the other humans.

"Who are you?"

"So it's true. You really have forgotten."

"You must be one of dad's friends. One of the earthlings."

"You're an earthling too."

"Not anymore. I'm living with the saiyans now."

Krillin then noticed Fasha. "So you're a saiyan women? I thought you would look…less feminine."

"What was that?" Fasha glared at Krillin.

"N-nothing." Krillin hid behind Tien.

Chaotzu came up to Gohan to get a closer look. "Yep, you do look like Goku."

"So who are you?"

"I'm Chaotzu, and it's nice to meet you."

"So you're a human too. You look different from the others."

"People can look very different. I haven't grown since I was a child."

Yamcha was the next one to come forward. "Hi Gohan. I'm Yamcha."

Gohan smirked. "You're weaker than the others."

"Um…well I don't train as much."

"If you want to be strong, you should focus more on training."

"Well, where I lack in strength, I more than make up for in charm." Yamcha then turned to Fasha. "Well hello. You look good for a saiyan."

Fasha smirked. "If you're looking for a date you came to the wrong place. And that last comment implied that saiyans are ugly."

"Um…I didn't mean it like that." Yamcha joined Krillin behind Tien.

The four humans decided to mingle with the Nameks, and left Gohan and Fasha.

"Fasha, they're weird."

"I know Gohan. I know."


Vegeta seemed to be fighting evenly with Ginyu.

"Well Vegeta, it seems that guy wasn't lying about your power, although, I doubt you can handle this guys super saiyan power!" Ginyu tried to power up further, but the red aura of the Kaioken wouldn't come.

Goku smirked. "You can't access that power I used to defeat you. Only the pure of heart can use it."

"What are you trying to pull? The super saiyan is just a transformation! I should be able to control it!"

Vegeta started to laugh. "Well Ginyu, it seems that you can't go any further or harness the power of the super saiyan. I on the other hand have been holding back a large part of my power."

The ground shook as Vegeta powered up further. Smaller rocks started to rise. A small mountain nearby cracked in two.

Ginyu started to sweat. "Um…Vegeta…let's not be too hasty."

"Are you ready to die?"

Vegeta started to pound Ginyu with a barrage of punches and kicks.

Goku flinched, as it was his body that was pounded. He wondered how it would feel when he returned to it.

Ginyu was sent down to the ground with a bone-crushing blow from Vegeta.

"It's over Ginyu. You're finished now!" Vegeta swooped in for the finishing blow.

As Ginyu saw Vegeta coming in, he suddenly grinned. "Change now!" A beam shot forward from Goku's body and was heading towards Vegeta.

"What?" Vegeta realized that he could not get out of the way in time; he was too close.

"Ha ha ha! This is it Vegeta!"

"Oh no. I've got to…do something." Goku struggled to his feet. Let's hope this guy's body has enough strength left.

Tapping in a deep as possible, Goku summoned up all the strength Ginyu's body had left and flew into the path of Ginyu's body transfer.

Ginyu's expression turned to one of shock and horror when he saw his old body appear in front of Vegeta. He couldn't say anything, he couldn't think. He was just too scared.

Vegeta was just as shocked.

After a few seconds the transfer was complete and Ginyu fell to the ground, net to Goku, in his old body.

"No…no…I am Captain…Ginyu."

"It's over Ginyu. Goodbye." Vegeta curled his fingers, and bent his body slightly, while keeping both his hands at chest level. After gathering enough energy he unleashed a blue blast onto Ginyu. "Galic Gun!"

Ginyu was vaporized completely.

Vegeta then noticed Nappa and Recoome's evenly matched struggle. Realizing that it wouldn't end anytime soon, Vegeta decided to help Nappa. He came behind Recoome and kicked him in the back of the neck.

Recoome was caught off guard and it cost him.

Nappa's mouth blast overwhelmed Recoome's.

Recoome's head exploded. His headless body fell to its knees before falling forward onto the ground.

"Thanks Vegeta. I thought the battle would last forever."

"What did you expect? It was the Ginyu force."

Piccolo had finished healing his leg and saw that Raditz was in trouble.

Jeice and Burter were using their purple comet attack to smack him around like a tennis ball in play. The comet would hit him and one direction, then go behind him and hit him back.

"Time to end this." Piccolo gathered energy and started to increase his size.

Raditz crashed into a small mountain. He was not unconscious, but he didn't have the speed to avoid Burter and Jeice.

"Time to end this saiyan," Said Burter.

"You're going to pay for what you did to me earlier," said Jeice.

A pair of giant hands caught Burter and Jeice before they could hit Raditz.

"What, how? You had a broken leg!" Burter and Jeice were both confused.

"A namekian can heal himself, and can also increase his size. Now that I've got you it's over."

Piccolo threw Jeice onto the ground. And started to crush Burter.

"I'll finish you off!" Raditz gathered energy in one hand and threw it at Jeice.

Jeice was too fatigued to dodge and was incinerated on impact.

Burter screamed as Piccolo's grip crush his ribs.

Piccolo let go of Burter and let him fall to the ground. He decreased his size, knowing that Burter wouldn't get up any time soon.

"I've been dying to try out this new technique of mine." Piccolo charged energy in his index and middle fingers, which he held at forehead level. "Special Beam Canon!"

The attack pierced Burter's chest, killing him.

"Where's your speed now?" Piccolo smirked and walked to join the others.

"We should get going. I trust you'll carry Kakarot Namek." Vegeta took off, followed by Raditz and Nappa.

Piccolo was now alone with an injured Goku. Goku was too week to resist an attack from him and could easily be finished off.

"P-Piccolo. I-I trust you." Goku passed out.

Piccolo stood there, staring at Goku's unconscious body. He could here his father's voice in his head.

Now's your chance my son. Finish him off and we will have our revenge.

But he's too weak to defend himself. I wanted to defeat him in combat.

This is not about ethics! This is about avenging my death and ruling the Earth! Now kill Goku and take make up a story about him dying from the wounds he already had. The saiyan idiots think you're his friend.

Piccolo put his hand on his forehead as his mind continued to debate. After a few tense moments he came to a decision.

My answer is no.

No? You can't say no! It is your destiny!

The destiny you had planned for me! Just go away dad! I don't want to hear your voice again! You've controlled me long enough! I control my own destiny, and I'm going to bring Goku back to the others!

Piccolo could no longer hear his father's voice inside him. He picked Goku up and flew after the saiyans.
