Oko sat outside the cave, waiting for Krillin to return. She relaxed against a boulder, staring into the sky. She felt a sudden prick of energy. She frowned slightly. It felt like Krillin, but stronger. Maybe that power up worked after all!

"Hey! Oko!"

Oko looked over to see Gohan walk over. He held out a bowl, smiling.

"Bulma made some popcorn!" Gohan said happily.

She grabbed the bowl, starting to eat it. "I'm surprised she can work a microwave."

Gohan chuckled slightly and sat next to her. Oko heard footsteps and looked over to see Bulma walk out. She was holding the Dragon Radar.

"Hey! Guys! Look!" she said, holding it toward them. "There's a Dragon Ball not too far from here!"

"I'll get it," Oko said as she got up.

"Uh... no," Gohan said, standing. "What if Vegeta sees you?"

Oko frowned. "He won't-"

"If you go, I'll go with you," he said sternly.

"What?! Who will make sure I don't get hurt?!" Bulma exclaimed.

Oko rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Gohan looked at them both then sighed.

"I-I can go by myself?" he said with a shrug.

Oko went wide eyed and looked at him. "This planet is crawling with soldiers! If they find you-"

"Take the Dragon Radar!" Bulma said, giving it to him. "That way, you can get it and come back as soon as possible."

Oko glared at Bulma. "You're getting on my last nerve, tramp."

Gohan flew off and Bulma rolled her eyes before going back into the cave. Oko sat back down, grumbling.

A few minutes later...

Oko felt Krillin's chi get closer and got up. Krillin landed a few feet away, grinning with a Dragon Ball in his hands.

"Hey! I got that power up and... where's Gohan?" he asked, his smile fading. Oko sighed, growling slightly.

"He left to get a Dragon Ball that was close by... he should be back any time now," she spat.

Krillin nodded. "Uh... what if he gets-"

"Bulma already dismissed my concerns," she growled, sitting back down. "If he's not back soon, I'm gonna go look for him..."

"Sounds good-"

A sudden chi made Oko get right back up quickly. She looked over quickly to see Vegeta land a few yards away.

"You, shortie, give me the Dragon Ball," he growled, glaring at Krillin.

"U-Uh..."

Oko saw Zarbon land a few feet away and stepped back.

"Vegeta, I didn't expect a barbarian like you to be this smart," Zarbon said with a smirk.

Vegeta looked over and sighed angrily. "Zarbon, I don't have time for this."

"Lord Frieza is rather... enraged by your escape," he said sternly.

Vegeta glared at him and smirked slightly. "What? Is he already throwing a baby fit?"

Zarbon rolled his eyes then noticed Oko. He glared slightly then looked back at Vegeta. "Don't speak poorly of our emperor. Now, come with me."

Vegeta smirked and got into a fighting position. Zarbon went wide eyed and laughed.

"Really? You think that after our last fight, you can still beat me?!" he laughed. "You-"

Suddenly, Vegeta launched at him, punching him in the stomach. Zarbon went wide eyed and coughed up blood. Oko flinched slightly and Krillin gulped nervously. Zarbon staggered then growled.

"You asked for it," he growled before starting to transform.

Oko went wide eyed at his appearance, instantly grossed out. He looked like a muscular frog with hair... unlike his usual handsome self. He grew a few feet taller too!

Zarbon was about to punch Vegeta, but Vegeta dodged. Zarbon went wide eyed and Vegeta punched him in the stomach so hard, it broke the armor and skin. Oko stared, slightly urged to attack something. Simply watching the fight gave her the temptation to rip something's head open.

"H-How..." Zarbon rasped. Vegeta snickered and jumped up, shooting a chi blast at his spine. Zarbon fell, barely able to move.

Vegeta smirked and looked at Oko. "Oko... he tried to kill you... I say, you finish him."

"What?! No! She doesn't have to!" Krillin exclaimed.

Oko stared, her hand twitching slightly. Vegeta got Zarbon into a headlock.

"Oko, kill him," he said sternly. "You had no problem with Dodoria... Is it because your little friends are watching?"

Krillin looked at her. "Oko, he's just trying to get you under his control, don't do it!"

"Oko, he tore you away from me!" Vegeta barked. "Kill him! Let us have our revenge!"

Oko stared then stepped forward. Krillin stared.

"He's just trying to get you back into your old Saiyan self... don't fall for it," Krillin said.

"Killing Zarbon is just another problem out of our way!" Oko growled. To be honest, if she had it her way, she'd torture Zarbon until he was begging for her to kill him. She wanted to make him scream, she wanted to make him pay.

Vegeta smirked and threw Zarbon into the air. Oko charged a chi blast in her hands.

"GATLIC GUN..." she shouted, the chi blast getting larger. Her father started charging a blast as well, smirking.

"O-Oko-"

"FIRE!" she shouted, sending the blast forward. The two blasts merged into one and Oko watched as Zarbon turned to dust. Oko stared then looked at her father. He looked at her then glared at Krillin.

"Dragon Ball. Now," he said sternly.

Krillin stared then pulled the Dragon Ball a bit closer. "If I give this to you, will you leave Oko alone?"

"Yeah, sure," Vegeta said with a sigh. "Now, give it!"

Krillin was still for a few seconds then threw the ball over. Vegeta caught it and looked at Oko. She stared at him, silent. He smirked at her then flew away. That smirk was a special one. He had a plan for something...

"He's up to something..." Oko said, watching as her father flew away.

"No doubt about that," Krillin said with a sigh. "But... did you see how quick he took out that Zarbon guy? He could have easily just killed me, grabbed you and the Dragon Ball, and left..."

Oko looked at Krillin and nodded. "I know... I don't have a good feeling about this."

After a few minutes, Gohan landed back at the base. Oko got up quickly, running over.

"Did anyone see you?" she asked.

"Uh... we gotta go," Gohan said rather quickly.

"Why?" Krillin asked with a frown.

"Because we've got about five minutes before Vegeta finds out I stole this," Gohan said, holding out a Dragon Ball.

Both Oko and Krillin went wide eyed. Krillin made a few squeaking noises, shocked.

"W-We've gotta leave!" Oko said quickly.

"Yep!" Krillin said, snapping out of it. "Let's go! Go! GO!"

Bulma walked out, frowning. "What's going on-"

"Grab the most important things in the house!" Krillin said quickly.

Oko nodded and ran inside, grabbing her bag. She ran out and Krillin grabbed Bulma.

"Hey! Someone better explain to me what's going on-"

"My father is going to be back soon and he's going to be angry!" Oko said quickly. "Now, shut up!"

Bulma frowned and Gohan ran out with some other stuff.

"Let's go!" Krillin said before flying off. Oko followed quickly.

After a few minutes, they got to a valley where they could hide.

"Oko, Gohan, I gotta get you to the Grand Elder," Krillin said. "With you two all powered up, we might have a chance."

Oko nodded. "Agreed."

"Let's go then!" Gohan said.

Oko nodded and they started flying.

"HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE!" Bulma shouted.

Oko rolled her eyes, flying a bit faster.

She could tell her father was going to be mad... and it scared her. And what scared her more was not knowing what his plan was.

A/N

Hey, sorry this chapter is shorter than the last. I don't want to stuff too much stuff into one chapter then have it all rushed. Cause, what happens is I stuff a bunch of stuff into the chapter then I have no idea what to name it. This way, I don't have to deal with too much chaos and then have to name it. But, I am truly sorry if it is a disappointment that the chapters are short. I'll try my best to try and get it longer. My goal is to make chapters at least 3,000 words long, but that would take longer and I don't want to keep you guys waiting for too long. If I don't post a chapter once a month, I feel bad. But, anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I will see you in the next one. Bye!
