A/N : I'd just like to thank everyone again for the kind comments. I'm not sure if I've addressed this before, but I am aware of that thing where Saiyan names are Japanese sounding vegetable names... so if you didn't figure it out... since Kakarot is a play on Carrot, I chose Carrot and Celery since they're twins, hence Seirori...Rori for short.) :) Anyways, enjoy! We get Piccolo back in the next chapter yay!
Namek
"Fuck" Rori cursed under her breath as she looked down at the 3 dragonballs she'd gathered, "It's not enough... and he's already got 2 of the dragonballs... and Vegeta has one as well... what should we do?"
Rori looked to the Namekian next to her for instructions. It seemed funny how he could calm her down... but maybe it was because he looked so much like her mate.
"Don't worry, we still have the one hidden... And there's a password on it. None of the other Namekians will give that information up to someone like him... and it appears your friends have finally shown their positions..."
"Just in time..." she smirked as they both ran towards a surge of power.
"Where have you been?! You've been out forever and I've been here waiting on you with that crazy Frieza on the loose!"
"Sorry, but hey … I've got a dragoball!" Krillin said with a laugh, before looking around, "Hey where's Gohan? I thought he was with you?"
"We found a dragonball close by, so I sent the kid to go get it." Bulma started as Krillin's eyes grew wide, " What is it?"
"...There are some big power levels headed for us"
"You idiot! You were flying around with that dragonball! You lead them here! Who do you think that would be? No one good let me tell you!" Bulma yelled at Krillin, bug when she looked up, she noticed it was Rori who was approaching, "or...it's Rori! Hey!... wow that was fast! Looks like you already got half the dragonballs... and ...how did you get Piccolo back already?"
" Not Piccolo... Guys, this is Nail." Rori introduced him, "He's been helping me gather dragon balls from the Namekians before Freiza gets them.. I guess I should fill you guys in..."
-
"What are you doing!?" Cui shouted in confusion. He looked down at the pile of dust that once was his scouter. "How are we supposed to track these Namekians down now?"
"Not my problem" Rori said as she looked up at the sky pointing at a blip that looked like a falling star crashing in the distance, "that'll be Zarbon. If you want to stand a chance against Frieza, you'd better listen up and listen good. Zarbon will call Freiza as soon as he thinks something is up... so I need you two to split up and act like you are looking for dragonballs, I'm going to keep my energy down so he won't be able to find me. Without the scouters, we won't be able to communicate, so you won't be able to tell Zarbon where I am if you run into him... Once I get the dragonballs, we'll have an end to Freiza. And if Zarbon asks, some Namekians destroyed our scouters... I trust you two... I hope I'm not wrong in doing so."
Appule stared at her and sighed with a nod, but Cui was a litte harder to convince looking skeptical.
"If something happens, Zarbon will alert Freiza and we'll have no chance." she tried to convince him, and he finally agreed.
It took some time for Rori to sense some of the Namekians, but when she did, she ran towards the highest level one she could find.
Soon she reached a house on the top of a plateau with a dome shaped house where the strange power level seemed to be coming from. She knew she couldn't find the dragonballs without Bulma's radar, so the next best thing was to talk to the Namekians and hopefully they would help. Before she could enter the house, she gasped at who came out of it and stared at him for what seemed like hours to the Namekian who was also staring at her, never having seen someone that looked like her before. He looked like Piccolo... but something was different.
"Who are you?" He finally asked before another voice from inside the dome called out, "Nail, bring her in!"
With that Nail stepped aside, but continued to stare at Rori and followed her in the building until they reached Guru. She stood a bit intimidated at the size of the old Namekian, but he was much too old to cause her any real harm.
"This is Guru. He is the eldest of our people-" Nail began before he was cut off.
"What are you here for child?" the larger Namekian asked her.
Rori took a deep break before she found her words, "I came here from Earth. Our guardian died causing our dragonballs to turn to stone... and there is a great evil coming. We need to wish back one of our warriors to protect us from it, but it's become impossible without our dragon balls... I've come here hoping that this planet might have its own dragonballs that we could wish back our warriors with... If you search out, Guru, I'm sure you'll be able to feel the evil that is coming."
"The dragonballs are only for our people, we cannot-" Nail was cut off by Guru again.
"What she says is true... there is a great evil on it's way... stronger than all of us... He will be the end of our people if we don't act. Nail, take this one to the villages and collect the dragonballs, let the village elders know that I require the dragonballs." Guru cut in again, to which Nail could not go against being sworn to carry out the elder's orders.
The two began to leave until Guru stopped them, "Wait. Come here girl, there is a power in you that has not yet been unleashed."
Rori blinked confused, but walked over to Guru's outstretched hand anyway. He raised it over her head and before she knew it, she felt a surge of power overcome her.
"Wow... I... how is this possible?" she stammered.
"Your full potential has been unleashed, that which was hiding within you." Nail explained.
"Now, hurry you two. The evil is approaching quickly."
-
"And that's pretty much the story..." Rori explained how she met Nail and how many dragonballs they've gotten so far, "Once Frieza came, we've been keeping our power levels down and because he doesn't know how to sense energy we've been staying under the radar, but Vegeta is looking for the dragonballs as well..."
"And it looks like I found them", Vegeta touched down next to them with a smirk, "I do appreciate all the effort you went to gathering them for me though... and for that I'll only kill some of you."
"Actually, I believe that's my line, Vegeta" Zarbon said as he also arrived on the scene, " Hey, you, the short one. Hand over your dragonball so we can be on our way."
"Zarbon... what happened to your scouter?" Rori asked looking a bit concerned.
"They're all broken. Not that they're much good anymore." Zarbon answered in a huff, his gaze turning to Vegeta, then back to Rori, "Now help me bring these back to Lord Frieza, before he gets any angrier."
"Wait... so... Frieza doesn't have a scouter either?" Rori asked, while eying Vegeta to see if he caught on to where she was going with this and it seemed the only one who didn't yet was Zarbon.
"What are you deaf? I just told you... they're all broken!" he yelled at her.
"Wow... he's so handsome... Rori... introduce me!" Bulma said nudging her, but the blonde saiyan only smirked at this.
"Mmmm... Bulma, there's no point. I assure you that he'll be dead within minutes." Rori turned to Vegeta, "Please... let me have this one..."
"I knew it!" Zarbon yelled, "You've been playing Frieza this whole time!"
"Well congratulations. You're the last one to the party and the first to leave." Vegeta said rolling his eyes, " He's all yours Seirori, but don't say I never give you anything."
"I've been waiting for this for a long time" Zarbon said with a smirk. He began to grow as he transformed becoming the bulkier version of himself, "You've been nothing but a thorn in my side since you arrived on the ship."
"Trust me... the feeling is mutual" Rori said dropping the dragonball she was carrying.
With that Zarbon charged at her, but she held her ground throwing all her force into a well formed punch directly to his stomach, knocking the wind completely out of him. Zarbon's eyes widened as he was barely able to speak again, "How... did you get so strong..."
She kept her hand on his chest holding him still while sending a wave of energy right threw him. Zarbon's body flew back with the giant hole in it. Rori quickly calmed herself breathing heavily, before turning to Vegeta, "Now then... I believe we had some business to take care of."
"You're right." Vegeta said with a smirk, "As far as I can see, you have four dragon balls, so I'll just be taking them and heading on my way."
"Okay." Rori said picking the dragonball back up and handing it to him.
"WHAT?!" the rest all seemed to be shocked.
"You heard the man. Give him the dragonballs" Rori said walking over to Krillin and winked to him and Bulma as she took the dragonball, "Look guys. Vegeta is way stronger than any of us and we're in enough danger here as it is. It's time to face the fact that Vegeta might be our best hope at beating Frieza."
"...Right." Vegeta analysed Rori, scoping her up and down when returned to him with another dragonball and took the other two from Nail, "...exactly..."
He couldn't come to any conclusion about her yet, although she did help him get back safe and sound, so maybe she was on his side after all...
"Thanks for the help Nail!" she said waving back to the Namekian.
With that the two saiyans took off with the four dragonballs, leaving Nail with the others.
"What was she thinking?!" Krillin screamed with his hands raised to his head.
"She was thinking Gohan still has one of the dragonballs and all we need is one!" Bulma said with a smirk, "If she knows where Vegeta is hiding the rest of the dragonballs, then when he goes to find the other ones, all we have to do is bring the last one."
"Are you sure she's Goku's sister..." Krillin started shaking his head, "she seems have a little too much brains for that.."
After a few several minutes Gohan arrived with the dragonball, "Hey guys... I think we should change the camp site... we've only got a few minutes until Vegeta realizes I stole this..."
"Fuck, goddammit!"
"Vegeta! Wait up!" Rori yelled trying to do her best to keep up with him after he found out the other dragonball was missing. "Stop being such a big baby!"
That made him stop in mid-air and turn to her, "that is the sound of someone who wants to sit this out just like last time! I knocked you out before and I'll do it again!"
Rori rolled her eyes and that's when he reached out and grabed her by her armor, "Hey! We are supposed to be on the same side! What are you trying to do here!"
"You know as well as I do Goku is our best bet. I am not going to let you wish for imortality, Vegeta! That's just crazyness!"
"We'll see about that!" he said before he started speeding off again. Anytime she compared him to her twin, Vegeta always began acting like a wounded puppy. When he reached his destination, he found everyone he was looking for in a neat little pile at Guru's.
"Where is it!" He screamed as Rori touched down next to Krillin, finally catching up to Vegeta.
"Everyone stop! 5 large powers are coming! Stronger than anyone here!" Guru's voice called out from inside causing both Rori and Vegeta to freeze.
"The Ginyu Force..." the two saiyans breathed in unison.
