Chapter 21

A/N: Sorry for taking so damn long! I meant to get this out two days ago, but I've been busy. Well, this chapter has some sweet lil revelation, and I have nothing else to say about…wouldn't want to hint what is about to happen!

Also, the Arbiter is going to beat up Hercule in a spar! :) lol Enjoy!

POV - Corser

I quickly bursted into the room, and saw the wires covering Appule and Evak. Damn it! I'm running out of time! I realized.

Evak had a lower power level of the two, obviously…so I knew I had to pry him out first, that way there would be higher likelihood of saving both of them.

I raised two fingers and fired a few weak beams, freeing him. I checked his pulse, and made sure he was breathing before pulling him aside. I intended to do the same for Appule, but Meta-Vegeta appeared out of nowhere and kicked me aside, crushing one of my ribs.

"Hands off. Weakling." He commanded.

I struggled back up, and smirked at his surprised expression. "What? Thought an attack like that would kill me?" I taunted, referring to our earlier encounter.

"I watched you DIE! Explain, right NOW!" He demanded.

"You of all people should be able to guess Vegeta." I said in a tone as if to say 'Isn't it obvious?'

That only agitated the Prince of all Saiyans even more, as he fired a warning energy ball passed my head. I grunted in fear…perhaps it's not my place to screw with this man…well, cyborg, or whatever.

I concentrated, and quickly performed the cloning technique. And realization dawned on his metallic face, same technique I had used on Earth.

Little did Corser know…Meta-Vegeta was also looking to stall a little time.

POV - Kershall

For whatever reason…Meta-Vegeta never blew another hole through the regenerated wall…he left me laying on the other side, why? I thought he wanted vengeance…

I don't have time to think about this…

I struggled to my feet, and levitated up to the ceiling of this…thing, and blasted a hole open and left.

0o0o0o0oo0oo0o0o

POV - Corser

"What were you planning to do to Appule and Evak?" I demanded.

Meta-Vegeta chuckled at me. "You're in no place to try pushing me around, fool. I-" He was cut off by a loud explosion in the chamber we stood in.

Frieza's firing wildly it seems. With no energy sensing ability at all, he could accidently kill me…

He sighed. "Grab the other weakling, and leave."

I gasped and let out a grunt of surprise. "Huh?" Was all I could think to say.

"Don't ask questions…just get out of the way! Before I change my mind."

"No. Not without Appule.."

He chuckled. "Appule will be fine, you'll just have to trust me."

"Trust? TRUST!? Trust you!?"

He shot me a glare and formed a blue energy ball in his hand. "You don't have a choice." He grimaced.

POV - Gohan

"That's weird." I murmured to myself. The five dragon balls that belonged to Frieza were moving, until stopping in a well concealed ravine. I stealthily rushed down there, taking whatever cover was given, slowly working my way to where the Dragon radar directed me.

Then, I saw them…five shiny orange balls with stars imprinted on them, all clustered together. Nearby, stood a familiar face.

The fighter let out a grunt of shock. "You! Brat! Why are you on Namek?"

"Y-Your one of Appule's men, right?" I replied, ignoring his question.

He snorted. "No shit, brat. Now tell me what I want to know."

"We came here for the Dragon balls, you know, to wish Mr. Yamcha and Mr. Chiaotzu, and Mr. Krillin back."

He bursted out laughing. "Sorry brat, you'll just have to get in line, because when I get all 7, I'm going to wish for a galactic credit card with unlimited usage on it." He revealed, laughing some more, to the point tears of joy dropped down his face.

I clenched my fists, my friends died, and this jerk was laughing?

"Your laughing, you're actually laughing at my dead friends! And then you laughed that I want to wish them back…You'll pay for that! Grr…"

I flared my aura up and prepared to fight him…it shouldn't be difficult, his power level is way lower than mine, thanks to Guru.

"Get ready, Jerk!"

He lazily crossed his arms laughing. "So, you wanna play? Do ya' brat?

POV - Piccolo

"He's done it!" I shouted, with my forearms up blocking the thousands of small rocks flying our way. Frieza had finally destroyed the Big Gete Star, for some reason, it stopped sending Meta-Vegeta's…which seemed strange to say the least.

"I don't know guys, that crafty Saiyan could still be alive, he never said anything about being connected to that thing." Tien spoke over the noise.

"Guess we'll just have to wait and see." The ever-so laid back Goku replied.

"HAHAHA, HAHEHEHEHA!" Frieza maniacally laughed. "Good riddance! My sweet Prince! AHAHHAHA!"

After a few moments, the rocks stopped flying, the vibrations and noise died down, the ruins of the Big Gete Star laid about. Frieza then returned his attention to the Z-Fighters.

"Now, if I remember correctly, you and I were fighting, before we were so rudely interrupted by Vegeta." Frieza casually reminded. I merely nodded.

"Well, I'd say it's time we-" Whatever it was time for us to do, got cut off by a powerful kick by…no way!

"Vegeta!" Goku bursted out in shock, opening his mouth in awe, cause this wasn't just a Meta-Vegeta, no…I would've blasted him to oblivion already. This was the real, and fully healed Vegeta!

"Close your mouth fool, you're making our Saiyan ancestry look bad." Vegeta smirked. He casually flew over Goku, and dropped Appule on the ground.

"W-What did you do to him?"

Vegeta chuckled. "You'll find out soon enough Kakarot, now why don't you make yourself useful and find a healing chamber; I might need his help taking down Frieza. I should be able to last a fairly long time though; even an hour in the chamber could make a huge difference!"

"Y-You're planning on fighting Frieza? By yourself?"

"What other way is there?" Vegeta retorted with a mocking smirk.

"Whaaat? Vegeta? How!?" Frieza angrily thought aloud, rubbing the spot where the surprise attack had hit him.

Vegeta flew up to meet him, face to face. "So you've finally decided to show yourself, the real you, you coward." Frieza mocked.

Vegeta just kept smirking. "I needed a little more time to become stronger than you."

Frieza gave him a quizzical look, and then brushed the comment aside in laughter. "Oh! That's rich Vegeta! Really!" He said in between laughs. Surprisingly, it didn't seem to get to Vegeta at all.

"Or maybe you were just worried I had already gotten my immortality!" He said, laughing a bit longer.

"No Frieza, I'm afraid immortality just doesn't fit you well, maybe you should gather the Dragon balls and wish for it to transform you into something less ugly." He mocked, looking at Frieza's Third form with his own eyes for the first time.

Frieza chuckled a little. "It may not look like much, but it packs a wallop, ask your clones." He taunted.

"You know, I have a transformation of my own."

"But you don't have a tail…"

"Not that." He paused, closed his eyes for a few seconds, then they shot open as he said: "THIS!"

His aura wildly flared purple as he powered up, apparently Vegeta had learned how to mask his energy!

While Frieza looked unimpressed due to his inability to sense energy, the rest of us stared on in awe.

"How do you like me now? I. AM. A SUPER SAIYAN!" He screamed, laughing as his purple aura continued to noise.

"THAT'S RIGHT! THE FIRST ONE IN OVER A THOUSAND YEARS!" He yelled, laughing like a maniac.

Frieza joined in with a mocking laughter.

Vegeta grinned. "Laugh while can." He stated bluntly, and charged in.

This'll be good…

POV - Arbiter

"You first Champion." He said the last word with as much distaste and sarcasm he could muster.

Hercule grew wide eyed. "M-Me?"

"Yes you! Damn it! Hurry up or I'll throw you off the fucking edge you miserable bastard!"

You will learn to respect me, fool.

Hercule reluctantly implied, walking toward the center of the Lookout, Arbiter appeared in front of him afterward. Hercule got into his showman's fighting stance, and slowly walked to the Arbiter one moronic step at a time, making a completely unnecessary noise while he was at it.

Hmm…multiple flaws in his stance, show of idiocy, show of stupidity, easily distracted by others, and I bet his attack won't do any damage…teaching people like this will take forever.

Hercule let out a battle cry as he tried his 'Dynamite Kick'. The battle cry turned into a pain cry as I sidestepped and struck him in the jaw using minimal force.

He laid on the tiled floor whining and crying like an abused little girl. (Take that however the hell you want lol)

"YOU ARE A WARRIOR, THERE'S NO CRYING ON A BATTLEFIELD, IF THERE IS, HE AND HIS FRIENDS DON'T GET A CHANCE TO TELL ABOUT IT! NOW GET YOUR ASS UP!" I shouted, I'll mend him into a warrior if it kills me.

Not willing to wait on the fearful disgrace of a fighter, I aimed my hand at him and fired a very weak energy ball, while shouting "DODGE." The idiot got hit right in the face and rolled away.

I sighed; this might be even harder than I thought.

I telekinetically raised a few pieces of very sharp tile, and thrust them at several different body parts. "If you can dodge a rock, you can dodge an energy ball!"

Hercule narrowly dodged each tile, then nearly freaked out at the sight of a blue energy ball heading straight at him. He was engulfed in a small cloud of smoke.

Pitiful.

POV - Appule

I groaned as I awoke. "What happened?" I wondered aloud.

"We were hoping you could tell us that…" Tien replied.

"Particularly how your power level shot up for no apparent reason." Piccolo interrupted.

I heard a loud crash, and looked over to see Frieza and Vegeta going head to head, exchanging blows, full-heartedly trying to beat each other to a pulp.

"V-Vegeta…is.." I paused looking for the right word. "Organic!"

"That's another thing we wanted to know." Goku prompted.

I started jogging my memory, for some reason they were a bit blurry…but there were a few things I was certain of.

"Me and Evak…were trapped inside the Big Gete Star, and-" I stopped, and my eyes widened when I realized the Big Gete Star was gone…I looked about, eventually spotting some ruins of it laying on the blue Namekian grass.

What the hell?

As if sensing my confusion, Piccolo drew my attention. "While you were inside, Frieza assaulted the Big Gete Star by himself, he blew it to smithereens, and just as he was about to resume his fight with me, the real Vegeta appeared out of nowhere, dropped you off, and took over, somehow his power level is on par with Frieza and my own…and so is yours, explain that." He stated sternly.

"Well, I remember being trapped, and a bunch of cables or something consuming my energy, Evak and I were nearing death, and I blacked out. You're right though…my power level is insane…it's actually stronger than you…"

"That doesn't make any sense." Goku interrupted.

"I know…I'm sorry, I don't know what happened…I really don't."

I looked up into the air, Vegeta ducked a tail swipe and crashed his leg into Frieza's head, cracking his banana shaped bio-gem. Frieza let out a furious growl and knocked him away. "You'll PAY for that!"

Vegeta wore his classic smirk and waved his hand in a 'Come and get it' gesture. The two then resumed their ferocious brawl.

"Incredible…" Tien commented.

Then something disturbing occurred to me, "WHERE's Evak?" I snapped…realizing how stupid I was not to notice that immediately.

"Don't worry about him, he looks to be fine to me." Goku said, pointing to a nearby spire with three men, one unconscious, two watching Frieza and Vegeta in awe.

I smirked. They're all still alive…Kershall, Corser, and an unconscious Evak.

A/N: Well, Appule has no idea what happened, but all of YOU do! A lil irony here…Vegeta originally planned to consume Appule and his abilities, but settles for powering both of them up in order to ensure Frieza's defeat! But will this plan backfire? Find out!
