Instantly they appeared on a planet far from Yardrat. Both Chi-Chi and Gohan were initially confused. They were on a place that was very small for a planet no bigger than a two-story or three-story building. It had not space around it but clouds and pink sky. It had a red car, a round house, a tree and sleeping portly blue man on a lawn chair. Gohan felt heavier than normal which must have been the higher gravity that Goblin spoke of, but it wasn't too bad it was nothing compared to the gravity room.

Neither Chi-Chi nor Gohan had left feeling very good. They had left Bill in such a state the he no longer aware of his surroundings. Mai had promise to take care of him but still. All he had done since his experience is mumble and look off into the distance. Something seemed broken about him and Goblin had said that the training with King Kai would take quite a while which was not what either one of them wanted to hear.

Goblin "Lord Kai we wish an audience." There was no response just snoring from the passed-out Kai. On his face was some sort of car magazine that moved every time he breathed. The Kai appeared to be almost snow man shaped he was so round.

Goblin and spoke louder "LORD KAI! We wish an audience."

The Kai woke up yelling "Abandon ship!" and rolled out of his chair putting his hands over his head. But the thud on the grass seemed to bring him back to reality and he looked to Goblin and them.

Chi-Chi had yet to see these monks express any sort of embarrassment until now. Goblin look positively mortified like he had catch his parents in bed or something. Gohan giggled while Chi-Chi tried to remind herself that well 'Roshi hadn't seemed the regalest teacher' at first either.

King Kai got to his feet and quickly dusted himself off and then proceeded to pretend that none of that had happened. He coughed and asked, "Why have you arrived unannounced and interrupted important Kai business."

Gohan was about to start laughing when Chi-Chi tapped him on the head which got Gohan back in serious mode at least on the outside.

Goblin was quite red which seemed to mean the same thing for human as it did Yardratains in a shaky voice "Lord Kai this is Chi-Chi and Gohan of the Earth. Them and us wish for them to be trained by you yes."

King Kai "Okay I known you Yardrats aren't the best with the common tongue, so you got to practice more."

Goblin just embarrassed "I'll keep that in mind."

The Kai's eyes behind the sunglasses went right to Gohan's tail which seemed to immediately spooked the Kai and he signed for Goblin to come over to him. Goblin did as was asked.

The two came close and the Kai whispered, "Are you insane that's a Saiyan. I know your people have a history with them, but well history also says that this is going to backfire."

Goblin whispered back "He's half Terran besides you know that it they can be just as good as anyone."

King Kai "We'll maybe a generation or two ago but not lately."

Goblin "Well he's pure hearted and doesn't know he's a Saiyan so keep that under wraps. Chi-Chi has made it very violently clear on that fact." Goblin pulled back.

King Kai looked at them and shrugged "Okay you can train here."

Goblin disappear after bowing to the Kai. Gohan went to wave goodbye but was far too late. Chi-Chi and Gohan bowed to King Kai.

King Kai "Alright so what bring you to train under me?"

Chi-Chi "A evil Saiyan has conquered the Earth. I wish to stop him."

King Kai "Right the one from that War of The World's style doomsday broadcast. Well I'm sorry to say that your Earth is doomed."

Chi-Chi confused "What!?"

King Kai "Your target has triggered the wraith of Frieza. Its unlikely that when Frieza finds and kills him that he will let your world live."

Chi-Chi "Well then I'll stop this Frieza!"

King Kai burst out laughing much to Chi-Chi frustration "Well good news you already ready past my first test and got me to laugh." (Now in a far more serious tone.) "Understand this. You will not be able to beat Frieza at best you'll do is send him on a murder spree that will claim billions. No. If I'm going to train you, you have to promise me that you will never seek to engage Frieza. You will only make things worse then they already are got it?"

Chi-Chi got the sense that this Frieza was on another level then Kakarrot which was bad. She thought to herself how could the universe be filled with so many monsters? She sighed "I promise I won't go fight Frieza."

King Kai "Now kid what's your name?"

Gohan "Gohan."

King Kai "Gohan you must promise me the same and make me laugh and then I'll train the lot of you. Once you can do those things for me then you'll deal with Bubbles and Gregory then I'll teach you the more advance stuff. And I suggest you hurry because I can safely say that time is running out."

Space

Kakarrot "Here are your orders." (Kakarrot was in a hologram appearing to both General Crixus and Android Twelve who were both on the bridge of a space ship.) Kakarrot continuing "Locate more eager devotes and leap frog around a bit until you come to know for a fact the Ginyu's are on you for sure then you are to leave the package in a spot with some less then worth souls to our cause. They will assume it is fake unless it fits the bill so make it look good. When this is accomplished Frieza and the Ginyu's will all go right where I want them. It might take a little while and the longer it does I figure the better it looks like we have been run ragged or something."

Crixus "What is in the package?"

Kakarrot "A crazy little story that I think Frieza is going to believe."

Crixus "That's it? A story."

Kakarrot "It's a 'ball' of story. The point is do it."

They heiled and the transmission ended. Kakarrot was in silken robes. He had made this transmission while lounging in conference room in his palace in front of him was Grey and Teal both looked rather miffed with the proceeding.

Kakarrot "Alright what's your problem?"

Teal "Why are you sending the toaster and the slave. I'm your cousin and your hitman. I should have gone."

Kakarrot "I sent what was expendable. You happen to be a loyal and very useful if those two die it won't interrupt my plans but you two. You my future right and left hand. When I rule the galaxy you two will be needed."

Grey "But the dragon balls why would you tell Frieza of them?"

Kakarrot "Do you consider me a fool? The reason is why is simple. He'll never be able to use them. Piccolo told me as such. His people are like Kami peaceful, stubborn and righteous. Their language is not common. The words that occasionally came out of his mouth are foreign. Meaning that the means to active the ball is beyond either us or Frieza. Unless either of you speak Namekian? Which you don't, but Piccolo only knows a few phrases meaning that we would need the Namekians to gather and use the balls. Which means even if we could force them we would be at their mercy at the moment of truth. Put simply it is pointless. They will never help us or Frieza. But as Frieza will take his best to go a hunting and he will leave his Empire quite unguarded. King Cold and Cooler have been asked to stay away and they will. We will storm into every one of his planets even with are size in the scale of galaxy we will be small, but we will have billions in reinforcements. We can immediately begin enacting our purification plan over the galaxy then."

Grey "Their will be push back. I doubt the Omni King, or the Patrol will like what we plan to do."

Kakarrot "Their hypocritical words will fall on deaf ears. If they were willing to tolerate Frieza and Frost demons for this long they will tolerate us. Their public are vapid and weak. They love luxury and decadency. They are not hard people or hungry for battle like mine are. They will not stomach a war even if they think what we do is horrible, like they always have. It will not matter that we plan to exterminate all non-hominids. No more then it mattered that Frieza has purged so many worlds. Money matters to these people not lives we will pay them off as easily as Frieza has done. We are rising tide, we shall sweep in and not recede, and they will come to accept it."

Grey "As your loyal citizen I must inform you, you are making a lot of assumptions my Emperor."

Kakarrot "Perhaps but this is a game of chance and I'm playing the odds. Tell me when has a bet of mine not payed off?"

Teal grinning "Never. You always seem to be holding a royal flush."

Kakarrot "Damn right. Now leave me I have a very 'busy' night with my wives."

The two men left the room. Grey still seemed unsure while Teal was quite content.

Grey "Our boss is being too reckless."

Teal arm went around Grey's shoulder and said to him "You worry too much. That's Copper talking. If the boss says the plan is in the bag, then it's in the bag."

Grey annoyed at this contact "Because hubris never came before the fall. He hasn't even said if he can beat Frieza yet and were making all these plans."

Teal "We did the same thing with the Royal's."

Grey "Just because it worked once doesn't mean it work again."

Teal "Past results speak for themselves."

Grey "Perhaps…" The two of them heard loud moaning from where one of the bedrooms were next to the board it was the sound of three women.

Teal just grinned "Boss man is god. He knows what he's doing, and we know what were doing. We're about to rule the goddamn galaxy. Think about me a planetary governor and you son of a drunkard construction worker to a soon to be Moff and a system governor. The entirety of race is about to go from barely holding on to one world to owning thousands of worlds."

Grey "See that we get them first."

Teal "Hey destiny is our side. It's like he said we are the rising tide."

Yardrat

Mai had been concerned ever since they had brought Bill back. He hadn't eaten in two days. All he had done is lie in bed motionless. He didn't get up not even to use the restroom. She had kept it quiet of course the others didn't need to know the Major was in such a state. But she had begun to wonder if it was not more harmful at this point to keep quiet and not alert Dietrich and Bulma. She entered his chambers to find he was missing. She put her hand to the communicator.

Mai "SOBAI where is Major William Stryker?"

SOBAI (Ship Onboard Artificial Intelligence) "Major Stryker has apparently left the ship mam."

Mai quickly ran throughout the halls and outside it might have been sand but there wasn't any wind and she was able to track him. Panicked she hastily made her way through the sands in her head she was screaming for her to go faster. She didn't want to think about what he might have done to himself.

It wasn't long until she found him he hadn't gone far. He wasn't in his armor, he was just in ruffled fatigues. He was staring out watch the binary stars set in the distance. He had no weapon. She breath a sigh of relief. He may have not looked like he was all there but everything else was aces. He seemed to not notice her despite her noise. In his had was some sort of plant that had red berries. She got closer.

Mai "Bill are you okay?" There was no response. She got closer. "Bill?" He looked at her, his eyes were looked well past her. He was looked a thousand miles away.

Bill spoke robotically "Mai I'm sorry I haven't been myself lately."

Mai eyes teared up thinking he was finally back "It's okay. What matters is that you're here. What happened by the way?"

Bill "The Yardarts showed me somethings like a message from the future or something."

Mai "No what happened was that the tree just showed you what you're afraid of."

Bill looked away like he didn't like that response "I'm sorry I worried you."

Mai "I told you its okay. Are you feeling better?"

Bill "Yes… much better."

Mai "Are you sure?"

Bill "How would I not know how I'm feeling?"

Mai "Well its just that you've been acting off."

Bill "Mai do you know who I am?"

Mai "Of course you're the man how led us to into space. You're a hero. I know you are."

Bill "What if I'm not."

Mai "You are."

Bill "What if I'm scared of myself?"

Mai "You shouldn't be. You are a good man."

Bill "I think I know what I have to do now."

Mai "What?"

Bill in a sort of smile said while looking at her "I think I have to be me. I feel much better Mai, but god am I hungry."

Mai smiled. She grabbed his arm and helped him up "Come on I'll get you something to eat."

On a planet unknown

Turles tosses an alien into a pile of rubble on a world that has been laid waste by first the uprising now his invasion. His crew laughing as they have joined in with the risen slaves who have the belief that he was Kakarrot and proclaimed him 'father'.

Turles goes to his crew "Tell me boys what could be better than this?"

They roared in response. His crew had covered himself in gold and they were lying in beds of it. They had all had their fill of the willing slave girls and food of this place. It was heaven, but they were still no closer to linking up with the real Kakarrot or the others Saiyan for that matter.

A tall figure had appeared he was dressed in a gladiator uniform that was in tatters. Turles looked at the man who had come seeming with great purpose.

Spartacus "You know the Ginyu's will probably be arriving shortly."

Turles "How would you know that?"

Spartacus "Their hunting for Saiyan's all of them ever since that announcement."

Turles sarcastically "You don't say."

Spartacus "I think even for the real Kakarrot they would be a problem."

Turles "So you're not dumb."

Spartacus "Your voice is a little different and the fact that you came here asking about him sort of tipped it off."

Turles "So I'm not him. Does it really matter?"

Spartacus "No it doesn't. I don't care who you are just what you can do."

Turles "What I can do?"

Spartacus "I want you to help me move these people before the Ginyus arrive and slaughter them all."

Turles "And why would I do that?"

Spartacus "Your looking to join up with the rest of your kind, right?"

Turles "I am."

Spartacus "What if I could tell you I know where the Emperor's kid is."

Turles's eyes lit up "I'm listening."

Spartacus "I know of a planet were a young boy with a tail is. He's saiyan like you. The people on the ship must have stolen him or something from a world were men fight in metal suit. Just like they say the Emperor's soldiers fight in. I imagine that his reward for returning his son would be quite great."

Turles "You know I think you just became my best friend." (He yelled at his men.) "PACK UP YOUR SHIT! We need to get a move on. We have some flea-bitten slaves to transport and a prince to find. Today is our luck day."

Next time Shit hits the fan.
