Krillin dropped to the ground at the last second, causing the two purple disks to hit each other. They pulsated for a second, then became one larger disk.
Krillin sighed. "Great, I made it bigger." The little monk began his escape again.
Two of the three Tiens were thrown into each other, causing them to unite. He stumbled backward and tripped over Vegeta. Vegeta grabbed the fallen warrior's arm and pulled him close.
"Listen to me..." His breathing was labored. "He might not... Be able to... Transform... While he's... Cha... Chase..."
"Chasing Krillin?"
The Saiyan prince nodded. "Take him out... Now..."
Tien nodded his agreement and stood. He relayed the message telepathically to the others and rejoined the fight. Vegeta lifted himself to his knees. He had a plan, but he would need help to do it. He crawled over to Gohan and grabbed the boy's hand as he fell facedown in the dirt. Gohan recoiled as something touched him, but relaxed as he saw that Vegeta could barely move. He lifted Vegeta's head.
"Help..." The Saiyan prince begged.
"H... How can I help?"
"Energy... Give me a little..."
"How?"
"Concentrate... Transfer a bit... To me." Gohan did as instructed and soon Vegeta was breathing normally. "Thanks kid. Now, do you see that monster? He's going to kill everyone here, including your father, if we don't stop him."
"But he's so strong..."
"I know. This is the moment I told you about. Do you remember?" Gohan shook his head. "It will save you... Remember how you felt when you learned of your father's death. Use your anger... It will save you." Gohan shook slightly as Vegeta stood. "I have a plan, but I need your help. You have to make sure that Frieza doesn't transform. You can stay on the sidelines for now, but if that maniac starts to change shape... You must attack him with every bit of rage in your being. Do you understand me?"
Gohan nodded slowly. Vegeta smiled a genuine smile. They still had a chance. As fast as he dared, without drawing attention his way, he ran towards his and Orion's confiscated ship. Surely Frieza brought the Dragonballs with him. If Vegeta could reunite his with the other six, then he could ressurect Raditz. Raditz could turn the tide in this battle. Vegeta knew that Raditz had been stronger than he was now. And to think of how much strength he would gain by being brought back, not from the brink of death, but from death itself. Frieza might as well pick out his gravestone now. Of course the whole plan was for nothing if Frieza didn't bring the Dragonballs, or if he transformed again.
------------------------
Demas blinked and the old man in front of him vanished, only to appear two feet to the right. "I wish you would hold still while I'm talking to you."
The man tipped his head as if listening to someone. "I see. It seems our time is up. I bid you farewell."
"Wait, what?"
"I grant you a new ability to use at your discretion. A gift for listening to me ramble."
"Because that's all it was. I can't believe that dragon screwed up so bad." Demas blinked again and was shocked to see Earth. He was back. Of course it seemed fitting that he would come back in the middle of a battle... He really needed to hit something. He lifted into the air and flew to the fight. As he arrived, he saw Krillin running from an attack. He dropped between the monk and his pursuer and held out a hand to stop it.
"Don't touch it!" Krillin yelled. In an instant the Wildfire prince was gone, appearing next to Krillin. He pulled the monk out of the way of the disk and began flying toward Frieza. "How did you do that?"
"I'm not sure. I'll explain later."
Vegeta landed behind Frieza's ship. Immediately, which surprised him, a second hatch opened in front of him. Out ran a Namekian man who grabbed the Saiyan and pulled him inside.
"Thank you for finding the Dragonball. We can go home now."
"I don't think so. I'm useing them."
"We can't let you do that."
"I could kill you and use them anyway."
"No you could not. They require a password which you do not have. As well as all wishes must be worded in Namekian."
"You have got to be kidding me. We went through all this trouble, and he couldn't use them anyway..." Vegeta dropped his head. "I must use the Dragonballs to bring a warrior back to life. A warrior who may be the key to defeating Frieza."
The other man thought this over. "Alright, but only two wishes. The third is ours."
"Third? Three wishes? Incredible..."
"Hurry, we must gather the other six and flee to a safer spot."
And so they did. Five Namekians, each with a Dragonball, and A Saiyan prince with two. They flew to the other side of the planet and summoned the dragon. The Namekians looked at Vegeta.
"So who's this guy we're supposed to bring back?"
"Right, his name is... Wait a minute. Tell the dragon to bring all those with Saiyan blood, who were killed by Frieza, back to life."
Gohan charged. Tien was down, Orion was fading, and Chiaotzu had disappeared. Frieza had stopped chasing after Krillin with his disk and had begun to transform again. Vegeta had made it clear that their only shot would be gone if Frieza transformed again. So the young half Saiyan jumped to action. Unfortunately, Frieza just flung his head and caught the boy on one of his horns. Blood dribbled from Gohan's mouth as he slipped out of consiousness. Frieza flung the corpse to the ground and turned to Goku.
"Gohan... GOHAN!" Goku flared his aura and charged. No one noticed the thin layer of hair that sprouted on his arms.
Porunga apologized for not being able to grant Vegeta's wish in its entirety. He was however, bringing back all with Saiyan blood who Frieza had killed in the last ten years. That was the limit of his power. Vegeta shruged it off. He had not expected it to work, but he at least got Nappa as well as Raditz. Two people to help in the fight. He smiled broadly as his two allies materialized in front of him. They both looked around confused.
Vegeta got their attention, which wasn't hard to do. "No time to explain. Frieza is here and is going to kill everyone. We are making a stand against him. The Saiyans will be free."
Raditz heard as far as "Frieza is here" and took off. Nappa looked at his young master and coughed. "We're attacking Frieza?"
"No you idiot, he attacked us. Now get over there and make yourself useful. It's in that direction. Only Frieza is an enemy, everyone else is helping me."
"Right!" Old habits reasserted themselves as the former general snapped to attention. It was like old times, except this battle was suicide. "Well, I've already died once. It can't be any worse the next time." The muscle-bound Saiyan flew away.
"So what's your next wish?" The Namekian in charge asked.
