Mark looked bewildered. He hoped a little bit other Saiyans he would meet would be less arrogant and mad then his biological brother Raditz was. Seemed this one was the worst however. Mark saves him, and he gets a foul mouth in return. He knew he was a pirate, probably killed many people, but he was the last of his kind. Along with Mark he was the last saiyan alive. This guy was Mark's only hope to find out about his ancestors and race.
"Aw man, there is the third one. What do we do now Burter? They survived our purple comet crush. Nobody has survived that before. Do we get the Captain?"
"What and explain to him that Guldo and Recoome are dead and we fled the battle? No way. We are the almighty Ginyu Force, the most feared elite warriors of the great Frieza. Nobody beats us. Certainly not saiyans. Lets get them!" Burter charged head on towards Piccolo. Jeice stayed back and put his hand up.
"Crusher Ball!" A big red ball fired at Mark and Vegeta who where still arguing.
"No time for introductions, here they come." Piccolo said as he charged at Burter. Mark stepped forward and deflected the crusher ball. Vegeta flew up towards Jeice, firing a large beam of energy at him. Jeice evaded but got punched in the face by Vegeta. Vegeta and Jeice where equal it seemed. Piccolo had a bit of a hard time with Burter though, he was faster. Mark stepped in to help. He knew he must be a local Namekian as he was not wearing the same outfit as Raditz was. The other 2 where on the offensive anyway. Why he was with Vegeta was unknown too Mark, same as the whereabouts of his brother. Together they where quick to outmatch Burter who was becoming more desperate by the minute. Jeice and Vegeta both seemed to enjoy their fight more.
"Ah, to hell with this." Said Burter who, being the fastest, ran for it. That distracted Jeice long enough for Vegeta to punch him right in his face so hard that Mark heard the bones in his face crush. Vegeta powered up a massive blast and killed Jeice on the spot.
"You let the other get away! You fools! Now he will go get the Captain. I was hoping i could get my wish before we face him."
"Wish?" Mark thought out loud. Piccolo walked up too Mark. He laid his hand on Mark's shoulder.
"Thanks, you must be Mark. My name is Piccolo. I have met your brother Clark. He is on his way too a star in the vicinity, he said he will be back fast."
Mark thought for a moment. "Ah yes. I see what he is trying to do. This sun powered him down so he is going too a yellow star to power up. Clever. Nice to meet you Piccolo. I heard you had toruble with Saiyan pirates but it seems there are even ibgger troubles. I witnessed the space battle a little, more pirates are on their way. I don't know about the green lantern corps though."
Vegeta touched down onto the ground. "Stop jabbering. We need a plan now, Captain Ginyu is way beyond any of our leagues. We need the dragonballs."
Mark looked around a bit. "You mean that great evil power over there?" Mark pointed some direction. "Or the even larger one coming down from space on that same spot?"
Vegeta looked at the same direction. His eyes widened. "Frieza. Darn it, now he gets his wish granted."
"No he won't. Remember, he needs the password first." Piccolo mentioned. Mark looked confused.
"Right, a password only you know. What are you going to do then? You can't hide from Frieza. He will blast this planet apart to find you."
"Actually, i lied about that. All Namekians know it. The trouble is i am not the only Namekian left on Namek. There are 3 more. Nail, Dende and the grand elder. They have no idea what happened here, they will surely be found soon when the evil ones figure out the dragonballs won't work. We have time though."
"Dragonballs? What are you people talking about?"
"I'll explain on the way. The elder has a great ability to unlock hidden power in good people. It won't work on Vegeta but i myself sense a great deal of hidden power in you Mark. Follow me too the elder. There you can meet Nail and the others." Piccolo said.
"Great, you go unlock that power. But don't think it will do any good against Frieza. He will get the password out of one of you eventually and then it is all over." Vegeta said, getting sweatier by the minute.
"Not unless you steal them." Piccolo said.
"What? Are you mad?"
"You can hide you powers now, you learned that from the Namekians. That way you can sneak too the place where Frieza will keep the dragonballs and you can take all of them, or 1." Piccolo already lifted into the air. He must have known Vegeta would say yes too that deal. That way Vegeta will have the dragonballs in possession again, plus he knows all Namekians know the password. Vegeta nodded after thinking it through.
"Good, lets go then, we have to be quick about it." Piccolo started to speed up. Mark followed right behind him.
Haha, what a fool Vegeta thought as he watched that pathetic excuse of a Saiyan(no bloodlust, what a shame) and that green pea fly off. He had every intention of getting the dragonballs for himself. He knew he was way more powerfull then Piccolo after he had healed. He would beat the password out of him. Yes, things where starting to look pretty good for him. Now, on too Frieza's ship. He jumped away. Unfortunately he had to keep his powerlevel low or Frieza's cannon food will track him with their scouters and Frieza will be alarmed. Though he figured at this rate he will be at Frieza's ship long before Kakarot had arrived at that old namekian and got a power boost, whatever it was. After he gets the dragonballs he can hide them so nobody can find them, giving him a bargaining chip, also against Frieza or that Kryptonian. He was close too the ship now, he sensed maybe 10 o 15 henchmen. They all had low powers, somewhere near 2500. Frieza was in his ship he knew, along with his personal bodyguards Dodoria and Zarbon. They where only small fish, a powerlevel of about 35000. Frieza kept them cose as they where sickening loyal too Frieza. Even more then Captain Ginyu, who he couldn't locate. Strange, Captain Ginyu hasn't got the ability to hide his power. Rats, if he doesn't find Captain Ginyu he couldn't find the dragonballs either. Well, maybeh e can beat it out of one of those henchmen. He creeped closer. 2 where on a patrol. They where chatting, not worrying about much. They of course figured with Captain Ginyu on the planet as well as Frieza himself they where safe. Well, they where safe untill Vegeta beheaded one of them and stepped on the other guys head. He crushed the scouter so it couldn't send a signal away.
"Alright you filth, where is Captain Ginyu?"
"Ah, he isn't here. He had to leave. Frieza's orders. Please Vegeta, don't kill me!"
"I won't if you tell me where they hid the dragonballs!" Vegeta increased pressure on the aliens neck.
"Ah, they buried them near the ship, leg 2."
"Ha, its amazing where Frieza gets these pathetic weaklings working for him. You are all so easy to persuade." He increased the pressure even more.
"AAAAHHHHH! you said you would let me live."
"I lied" He crushed the Alien's oversized skull, which was actually quite sturdy. He then sneaked over closer too the ship. Near leg 2 he saw 5 henchmen stand guard. Ha, it couldn't be anymore obvious. Frieza's uncontested rule has left him reckless. Vegeta took care of them in a flash. Vegeta was a fast healer, he couldn't heal this fast though. He had to go into the ship as well to get some medicine and food. But first thing is first. He dug up the dragonballs. There they where again with their rightfull owner. Fool frieza leaving such a powerfull treasure alone. He picked one up and smirked. He threw it as far as he could away from the ship and where the others where located. He tossed the other ones after it as well. There, Vegeta knew exactly how far he had thrown them and into what direction. Only he knew where the dragonballs where again. That gave him an incredible good feeling. Now for some food. He climbed into the ship. Lowely he walked in the corridors. He could get rid of a henchman easy and quiet. If he ran into Dodoria or Zarbon though he will be detected. If Frieza starts to look for him he is done for. He needs to heal properly again to make a chance. There it was, the mess hall. The infirmary was also closeby. They had excellent medicine, even ones made for Saiyans. He quickly gobbled up some food, changed his outfit and went too the infirmary. It was dark in the infirmary, probably a lightbulb. As he went in he noticed too late a henchman was busy fixing the blackout. He dispatched of him pretty easily but not before that one could send a small energy blast at Vegeta. That made a sound. Vegeta could only hope nobody heard it. He looked in the lockers. There it was. A syringe with a typical compound for healing Saiyans. The last one too. He took it from the locker. As he closed the door he noticed a presence in the room. He looked too his side and felt it was Dodoria. Dammit he had been found.
"Well well, is that you Vegeta? Hahaha, this is too good to be true. I come down here or a quick snack and find a little weasel stealing from our supplies. Hasn't you mother thought you any manners monkey?"
Vegeta had to act quickly. "Hm, well one positive thing i can get out of this. I finally get to whipe that ugly smile off your disgusting pink face Dodoria!" He grabbed Dodoria's arm and swung him towards the other side of the room. Dodoria went flying through a wall and outside of the ship. Vegeta rushed out as well but not before blasting Dodoria into the next dimension with a powerfull blast. He powered up too full strength and sped away as fast as he could. Frieza and Zarbon undoubtedly felt that and would go after him eventually. They had no idea the dragonballs where gone though, not yet. He flew as fast as he could for a while, then stopped and looked back. No pursuit yet. Then, suddenly a huge power surge. Frieza. He must he realized his dragonballs where gone. At one point Vegeta felt Zarbon's energy signature, the other moment he didn't anymore. What was going on then? Had Frieza finally realized the playing field had changed? Ha, fool. It was a bit too late now. Vegeta was far away enough not to be detected by him. Plus he had flown far enough that he looked down and saw all 7 dragonballs laying there. Its was too good to be true. He slowely came down upon it. Finally, now all he need to do was get that Namekian Piccolo alone and... Vegeta heard a disturbing sound. A purple flash of energy shot straight over him. Then another, and another. They randomly came down around him, some far away, others a little closer. Thy kept coming. Must be frieza's doing. He was trying to flush him out. Travelling right now would be dangerous. But he had to try. He handled the dragonballs with care. As soon as one of the beams flew over he lifted up into the air and went on his way, over too the elder. Suddenly though, as he went up another beam caught him by surprise. He had to dodge it quickly. He managed, but that took a serious increase of power. The beams stopped... Then he felt it. Frieza was headed straight for him, fast. Quickly he jabbed the syringe in his arm. The compound is going to take a few minutes to work though, even on Saiyans. Better hope he will be increased enough to stand a chance.
