No fortunate fall
Chapter 10 The eldest Namek & the hunt for the Dragonballs!
Age 762,
'We have arrived at the home of the eldest Namek!' Said Dende the Namekian youth. As the group of four landed on the top of the strangely shaped hill. Or rather former mountain, a tall Namekian stepped out of the white building. And said something to Dende in a language none of the earthlings could comprehend. 'So… Videl can you understand what they are saying?' said Koku. 'I honestly have no idea Koku.' While the two Namekians where talking Videl and Koku quickly got bored and started walking around the house. Meanwhile Popo was observing the two Namekians talk, he tried to read their faces but it didn't really help. The tall Namekian had a pretty stoic appearance and did not let go of any emotional hints during his talking. Eventually the two Namekians stopped talking and the tall Namekian adressed the Earthlings. 'You may enter into the home of the Guardian, the eldest Namek. And the group of four entered the white dome shaped building closely followed by the tall Namekian, who according to Dende was named Nail.
Once inside they stood in awe, a huge 5 meters tall Namekian was sitting in a chair. Nail said. 'This is the Great Elder Guru of Namek. You will treat him with great respect, do you understand me?' The Earthlings nodded. Then the Great Elder spoke. ' Youngling ,let me read your mind…' He pointed his hand at Koku, who slowly walked towards the Great Elder. Then the Great Elder slowly put his hand on the head of Koku, reading his entire history in the blink of an eye. 'I see, you have journeyed far and are of a pure heart. Therefore I shall grant you and your friends a gift.' Koku wondered what this gift would be, but he wanted to thank the elder first. But before he could open his mouth a magical feeling went through his body. 'Release potential!' said the Great Elder with a raised voice. Koku felt his power rising, his inner strength streaming to the outer layers of his being. Videl and Popo who where watching in awe simply said. 'Incredible! He has grown so much all of the sudden.' The Great Elder then said. 'And now your potential has been unleashed. I will grant this release to all of you Earthlings, you will need it. Five huge Ki's are nearing Namek, and those four monsters and the demon are here as well.' The Earthlings properly thanked the Great Elder.
After all of the earthlings had their power unleashed the shy young Namekian called Dende walked towards the Great Elder. 'Great Elder Guru, sir, I have a favor to ask you. You have granted great strength to my friends here. I wish for that same strength. Not for myself, but to protect my friends!'
The Great Elder replied. 'I know you have a pure heart Dende, therefore I will grant you this favor.'
The young Namekian brightened up hearing this good news. 'Thank you Lord Guru!' The Earthlings and Namekians looked at each other. At some point the Great Elder said. 'Humans alone cannot stop the monsters nor the demon, Namekians cannot stop the monsters nor the demon. It is time that we make a proper stand against these beasts that have ravaged our planets. Nail! Dende! Go with the earthlings, help them in their quest.' Nail got a bit angry at this request. 'Great Elder are you sure! We do not really know the Earthlings, these are all just young one's! But their elders may harbour the same destructive tendencies as these monsters that are invading your planet!' The Great Elder tried to reply but Dende was a bit faster. 'Nail, you are my brother, my fellow Namekian. But I think you are wrong. These humans saved me from the Demon and his henchman! Is that not enough? The Great Elder said that they have a pure heart! Do you believe the Great Elder is wrong in his judgement?' Nail recognised his mistakes, and calmed himself. 'You're right, I apologize earthlings.'
The Great Elder seemed pleased at Nail's resolve, and he moved his head towards the Earthlings, who had been watching the little exchange between Nail and Dende with content. 'Earthlings, I will give you another gift, please recognise it as the seal on the bond our two races have created today.
I will grant you the 1 star Dragonball!'
Meanwhile at the other side of Namek, the Saiyans where sitting at a campfire, enjoying some meat cut of from Zarbon, who they just killed. 'Kakkarot how many beans do we have left?' Demanded Vegeta. Kakkarot replied that they only had 8 beans left. 'Very well, give everyone two beans. I have a plan.' Kakkarot did as he was told and gave his Saiyan comrades two beans each. Vegeta started to explain his plan. 'At this point, we have no Dragonballs. Frieza according to some soldier Nappa tortured has about 3 right now. That means that there are 4 left on the planet. We will split up and search for the balls on our own. We will meet up again in 4 hours at spot.' The Saiyans nodded, but Kakkarot asked. 'Where do we even find those balls! They're scattered all over the planet.' Nappa punched him and said. 'Idiot, each of the villages has a ball, the soldiers told me so. Then I blasted their heads of. Just look for those villages.' Kakkarot stood up and prepared to attack Nappa for punching him. But Vegeta gave Kakkarot a stare with murdurous intent, and he backed down… For now. Raditz said. 'Doesn't Frieza have two balls or something like that as well?' Vegeta replied. 'Maybe, but we only need one ball for him to not be able to wish for immortality.' The Saiyans knew that Frieza was to strong fort hem now, they'd have to grow stronger, take one of the balls and bide their time. And so the 4 Saiyans split up, with the ability to sense Ki improving slowly. Their hunt for the Dragonballs had begun!
