"My lord, Kiwi is asks for a soldier or two to rendezvous with his location. Enough to handle Nappa while he keeps Vegeta busy." The emerald haired right hand man known as Zarbon spoke to the known Tyrant. "Shall I give the order?"
"Very well, send some soldiers capable of handling Nappa. I want the others to keep lookout for the dragon balls." Freeza simply waved his hand as a new dragon ball was pulled from a hut, a smile on his face as he obtained four so far. Unaware how many there were, he expected to be close with so few members of the race left over… not that any would survive once he got his wish.
"Very well lord Freeza. Control, Send a team out and head to Kiwi's location now. Once finished, report back to the ship with Kiwi. If kept alive, bring them to the ship with you, for interrogation." Zarbon spoke, given confirmation that a squad was sent out, headed to Kiwi's last known location.
"Why are we waiting again, Vegeta? I say we just rush Kiwi ourselves, take him out and then deal with the others while they make their way here." Nappa was impatient as always, the wait for battle was always the worst for him.
"Quiet, Nappa." Vegeta reprimanded his subordinate. "It is better to allow them to gather strength for us, so that it is more devastating to Freeza. Just wait a little while longer." Vegeta crossed his arm, glad to try out his new power he gained from his battle with Earth.
Kiwi's scouter showed Vegeta's power unchanged from his time to earth, Vegeta learned a few new tricks on earth for the short time he fought and studied his opponents. "You're a fool, Vegeta. Even with your lackey, you're no match for me." Kiwi mocked over the scouter to Vegeta, he wanted to get Vegeta riled up to have a good final fight with him. But the alien was not about to enter a fight with two saiyans and risk injury. After all, it is better to hear praise from the higher ups outside of a heal tank.
It would not take too long for a five man party of freeza's army. Kiwi ordered them to surround them, and watch as Kiwi takes out Vegeta. They can then take in Nappa without any problem. But it is soon shown to be much harder than Kiwi thought. Vegeta's power level raised tell the scouters shattered, Zarbon surprised by his own as it did the same. Dadoria adjusted his and announced Vegeta's new power level at twenty-four thousand.
Nappa himself is surprised by the power he felt come from his boss. The idea that Vegeta gained such strength suddenly, invigorated him to trust Vegeta's judgment on if they could beat Freeza with a wish. Kiwi made short work with, Nappa laughed at the display of power. His attention turned to the other freeza soldiers, who in fear attempted to run. Nappa raised his index finger toward the sky and a white explosion, that like he did on earth in the show and manga, enveloped them. "Looks like I got a little stronger as well." Nappa watched the soldiers fall to the ground with a grin.
"Yes, it seems you have not lost your usefulness." Vegeta motioned to his scouter, Nappa ended transmission from the scouter with his prince. "Now, Let us find a dragon ball."
"Only one, Vegeta?"
"Exactly, we let Freeza find the others. Then we take them when their guard is down, and make a wish." Vegeta smirked at the thought of immortality. "We don't know how many are needed though, so if we do find a second one we can hide it as well. But one rule, no killing any Namekians. We don't know which one could be linked to the dragon balls yet, once we know… then we can take more forceful tactics."
Nappa nodded to his order, and followed behind Vegeta as he took to the sky. The two tried out their new skill of sensing Ki. It lead them astray but closer to their next target.
Freeza and his men just passed by, Tarble could feel himself in a deep sweat. He felt Freeza… not an illusion from the Pendulum room. He noticed he was not the only one that froze. Gohan and Krillin felt the power, Bulma only able to know the danger due to her scouter chimed in. Her eyes wide as the number just continued to rise before it stopped as it had too many targets to monitor.
"Over… 100,000…" Bulma's words were more of a whimper, the realization of being stuck on the planet with a monster with such a power level.
"And they were all dressed like Vegeta… They could be working together." Krillin remarked, only to add to the fear.
"But, was that not the direction of the Namekians you felt not too long ago?" Gohan pointed out.
Bulma switched on the radar, it pinged that four dragon balls were traveled toward a fifth one. "Oh man, they already have four and are headed to a fifth one."
"We cannot let Vegeta and his friends claim them." Chichi remarked, kept composed as she focused on the goal. "We should follow, confirm if Vegeta is working with them, and if so work accordingly. If not, then we can try to make a play if we think they can be reasoned with."
"Right, I will go and check them out." Krillin was quick to remove his civilian cloths and remove weighted shirt, instead in his Gi.
"I'll go with you." Gohan announced.
"What was that young man!?" Bulma's tone dared him to question her.
"Mom, if I don't go… Krillin could get into major trouble." Gohan attempted to find any excuse he could.
"I'll watch over Gohan, it would be safer with us going and you staying away. Your power level is small enough to not to be noticed." Chichi remarked, her gaze turned to Tarble. The saiyan had said nothing this whole time. "You coming?"
Tarble's body shook, his eyes wide as he stared at the wall. Chichi looked like she was about to say something, but was stopped by Bulma. The blue haired woman did not know what had Tarble so scared, but expected it to be the same person they were all nervous about. Tarble's legs shook themselves out of a standing position and slide him to the ground. The others looked at him as he seemed to break, his head hung low as he was trapped in his own mind and would not speak.
"You three go… don't think of them as allies. Just find out what you can and get back safe." Bulma took over and gave orders. She didn't want to send her son out toward danger, but the planet itself could be and her five year old son seemed to have gotten her drive. "Me and Tarble will set up camp and ask Goku and Raditz to hurry."
"Right! Come on you two, keep your power low but let's move quickly." Krillin leapt toward another section of land, soon followed by the other two.
Bulma turned to Tarble, the slight bob of his head and wetness on his face. The young man watched as the one person who could truly take away his dreams was here. The being that killed his race, his family… and now here on the planet that was his only chance to make up for his mistakes. Fear, Anger, depression, and bloodlust filled his mind, but the idea always appeared. If Freeza gets his wish… he won't be able to save Yurin.
"Come inside, Tarble. We need to talk." Bulma spoke up, time seemed to fly as Tarble's mind tortured itself. His body on auto-pilot and followed her direction into the capsule house she placed in the cave to hide in.
Goku and Raditz attempted to train themselves to get ready for Vegeta's return. Raditz knew of the heal tanks Freeza had access to, and would be able to heal faster than them. This is when Roshi makes an appearance, and explains the Vegeta has gone to Namek. But not only that, there is possibly another group. One that may or may not be with Vegeta. Finally, that his family and friends are now trapped.
"Damn, and I am stuck here tell Korin can make more Sensu Beans. I knew I should have kept from going time four. I might have been out and about by now and ready to go." Goku spoke annoyed with himself.
"Don't worry, Kakarot. Tarble is with them, though I still say he should have shared his bean. They will be okay if they listen to him." Raditz attempted to console his brother from his worry.
"Unfortunately, Tarble seemed to have run into an issue. Bulma does not know what is wrong with him, but he is not responding to her. He is able to move, but seems to be in no condition to fight." Roshi face stern with the added problems. "I thought the boy was made of stronger stuff."
"He shoulders a lot of responsibility onto himself." Goku said with a soft sigh. "I was worried when Tarble became so insistent in leaving for Namek on the old space ship. He can handle a lot… When we first trained together, he told me he was thinking of taking out Piccolo before the tournament. When I asked him why, he said that he won't let anyone threaten his new home."
The door opened with a doctor and nurse, annoyed that both patients were out of bed to try and work out. Yajirobe entered in behind them. "Yo! Korin just finished a batch of beans for you guys. There is only seven though, so be sparing."
"Woohoo! That is perfect timing." Goku was excited, the doctor attempted to stop his patients from being fed something strange and instead surprised when both Raditz and Goku fully recovered. "Good thing Pops was already working on a space ship before the others left. He told me it was ready a week ago. Come on Raditz!"
"I was planning on going without your permission." Raditz laughed.
The two saiyans collected the remaining sensu beans and flew out of the hospital quickly. The doctor and nurse left dumbfounded as Yajirobe and Roshi snuck out, not really ones that wanted to explain what just happened. Goku and Raditz arrive to the ready ship, with sound system properly installed! Tien and Yamcha trained in the new gravity chamber, did not get a chance to send them off. Goku in a great hurry to save his loved ones, Raditz astounded by Goku's drive for family. The two soon began their training, and planned together to push the Gravity to its max setting of 100G.
But let us return to Namek, and see how the others fair with their two added companions. With Tarble seeming to have brought on a mental breakdown with the realization of Freeza being on Namek, will he be able to get himself into gear when the time comes. Will Nappa's presence prove to be a bigger change then planned? Find out next chapter! Vegeta's ambition and meeting Guru.
