~Three weeks after leaving Earth~
Bulma yawns loudly as she lifted herself from another sleep cycle, A little worried that their food supply will run low simply because there was two saiyan blooded people when there was accounted for one. Tarble had been use to eating less before though, and offered to split his rations for the time to make up for it, which for the time would allow them to be safe as long as the trip did only take a short time. She simply lifted from her slumber and left the bed in her panty's and tank top, and went to work.
Krillin and Gohan in the middle of image training to try to keep on their game. A stressed look on their face as they worked to best each other in their mind game. Soon Krillin toppled backward. "Oh man, I did not expect you to be so tough, Gohan. You really know how to put a man through the ringer"
"Well I was trained by my dad and by Piccolo. I had many great teachers. But you had some amazing moves I never thought of using together." Gohan chuckled after his response, before he looked over to Chichi.
Chichi was currently positioned in difficult poses to limber up her body. She often used the natural flexibility in her body to provide unique power and angles for attacks. So, her meditation was often linked to daily stretches and balance training. The current pose, she was held her body up on one hand, and slowly attempted to switch to just her fingers. Legs spread horizontally and slowly moved to test her balance and make her shift her center of balance. Gohan more amazed at the control over her own body, too young to find the impressiveness of her form as a woman. Krillin on the other hand well in the age to find himself distracted by both women.
Tarble focused inward himself, and tried not to interfere with the others as they trained. His mind focused on what they could meet on Namek. He hoped they would be more like Kami then Piccolo, but it was possible they would need to fight to get the dragon balls. Not only that, Vegeta was still out there and possibly on his way there as well. And finally, the threat he wanted to have Vegeta's help with was still roamed. Freeza as was at large and not know where he was. Vegeta and Nappa would have the greatest idea, possibly still under his employ. Though Tarble could not be sure of that either, He only assumed off what Raditz had told him.
Krillin still did not trust Tarble, the three weeks of constant forced tranquil life did not help. Tarble was too quiet and seemed to be planning something. His constant worry of Tarble's power gap increase from the fight also grew. Gohan and himself did not grow at the same rate, and Chichi only joined from time to time as well, which made her growth harder to pick up on.
"I got it!" Bulma's voice called out suddenly. Gohan's interest taken for a moment and looked to his mother.
"What did you get, Mama?" Gohan stood and walked to peer over his mother's shoulder.
"Oh, just a new more advanced scouter unit. If Vegeta is out there, we can't have you guys risking your hands being tied up with a dragon radar, right? So, I made this." Bulma held up a visor style scouter, with two ear holds. "by having it be a Visor type scouter, it can relay more information to you. It also has more advance processing, Thanks to your father for showing my scouters were needing that with his sudden power spikes. And with two units, it will be able to keep up with even higher power levels."
"I don't see how that keeps us from having a Radar in our hands, Bulma." Krillin chimed in as he stood, a little confused how her two statements connected.
"Well, I have also been working on reducing the size of the dragon radar. I finally had a break through before we left, and had brought materials to work on a prototype. This Visor should be able to also pick up dragon ball energy signatures and direct us to them." Bulma said proudly.
"Should…" Tarble responded with a monotone response. "We will have to test it once we are at Namek. The energy could be different, which most likely means tweaking the device. Correct?"
"Well, yes… but it is still a major step forward. Don't be such a kill joy." Bulma as little insulted by Tarble's attitude. But watched as the young man simply nodded and returned to his meditation. Somethings wrong with him. This is not the same man that visits every year to spar with Goku.
"Mom, do you think you will have enough for everyone by the time we get to Namek?" Gohan stealing Bulma's attention from her own thoughts.
"Not for everyone, I can make another one and upgrade everyone else's scouters. This will allow for everyone to communicate with each other though and split into two groups if needed. Though… if Vegeta will be there." Bulma's sentence trailed off in a little worry.
"The goal will to not split up, if we have to then we try to hide the best we can." Chichi finally spoke up. "Vegeta and his friend Nappa need to be secondary focuses for now. Keep you minds on the goal. Dragon balls, and our wish. Bring back Kami, and then we can head home."
"Well you sound confident." Krillin a little amazed by the strength in Chichi's voice.
"We have no reason not to be, we survived difficulty before. We will do it again." She said with her chest puffed outward to try and show her confidence even more.
~Vegeta~
Vegeta and Nappa's pods land on planet #79, a controlled planet of Freeza. The two injured and near the use of life support. Vegeta less injured then the original show and manga, but still pretty badly hurt. Brought into the healing tanks, Kiwi annoyed that Nappa did not have his tail removed as well. He bribes one of the doctors that monitor's Vegeta to put a special enzyme into the healing tank, one that would keep Vegeta's tail from growing back. Kiwi had always been equal to Vegeta's power, but he Oozaru would always be a reason that they would never truly be equal. He now had the chance to keep Vegeta on his level, unaware of the Saiyan Blood power.
Only a short time later Vegeta is let out of his healing tank, and believed his tail would grow back as normal. Kiwi confronted him, and made Vegeta aware that Freeza had heard the conversation of dragon balls and wishes… and of Namek possibly having their own. Nappa released from his own healing pod and could feel Vegeta's ki rise. The fellow Saiyan heard Kiwi admit that Freeza planned on killing the race, but missed the part of wanting to wish first. Vegeta rushed to a pod without a second thought, Nappa followed behind as quickly as he could. Though his thoughts on a fight against freeza made his blood run cold, unsure if he could convince Vegeta to play it smart.
~The Heroes~
Bulma announced to her allies that they have arrived to Namek, and after the ship is landed, they are met with the same circumstances. Vegeta and Nappa's Pods crash down, the group now worried that both saiyans have arrived. Then another Pod crashed down that was Kiwi's. The attack from Freeza Soldiers that damages the Namekian ship before Bulma and Gohan (As she would not allow him to stay behind if she was leaving) could head back for earth. The group instead had to lower their power level, hide as Freeza rushed by. Tarble spotted him, and recognized him instantly… would this be his only chance to get revenge for his people?
Let us continue this on the next chapter. I will back track a little so that we can find out how Kiwi stacks against two saiyans instead of just one. Either way, next chapter: Raised stakes, Goku's on his way!
