I don't own Dragon Ball Z or its characters, but my OC, Chika Son
Chika Son: Goku's Daughter
Chapter 25: Namek's Defence
Frieza and his comrades swiftly flew past in thunderous blaze as Bulma, Krillin, Gohan and Chika carefully hide in the cave.
"It looks like they're gone."Bulma said as she carefully took a peek outside. "That was close but I don't think they noticed us. They didn't even slow down at all. I don't know, but they might be after something else."
Krillin, Gohan and Chika were left in complete shock and were horrified at the amount of power they sensed from Frieza's crew.
"What is it you guys?"Bulma asked. "What's the matter?"
"Bulma, you better check the dragon radar."Krillin replied while trembling.
"Okay, but why?"Bulma asked.
"When you examined it before, there were four dragon balls together, right?"Krillin responded. "Check if they are still there."
"All right, I'll check."Bulma replied and checked the dragon radar. "They are moving, all four of them. Whoever those guys are, they have the dragon balls with them!"
"I was afraid of that."Krillin stated. "This is bad, real bad."
Krillin looked at Gohan and Chika.
"Gohan, Chika!"Krillin called out.
Gohan and Chika walked out the cave.
"Yeah?"Gohan asked.
"Did you two see him?"Krillin asked. "The one, flying second from the front?"
"Yes."Gohan answered. "He was pure evil and we sensed incredible power coming from him."
"The moment we saw him, we completely froze."Chika admitted and rubbed her arms. "That guy might be even more powerful than Vegeta."
"I got a bad feeling, this is the same guy those kids told us about."Krillin stated with a frown. "I don't know if it is Frieza but our situation just got worse."
"Why?"Bulma asked nervously. "He can't be stronger than Vegeta can he?"
"I say he is and not just a little bit but a lot."Krillin scowled and gritted his teeth. "Also the other guys he had with him and we got to figure out a way to get the dragon balls from them but how?!"
"H- hey, look at this."Bulma commented and showed the dragon radar. "That group just now is heading toward another Dragon Ball."
"That's just great they have radar, too?"Krillin muttered. "What's the location?"
"About 14 kilometers in that direction."Bulma said and pointed at the direction ahead.
"Hey Krillin, while we were walking didn't we sense a group of Namekians coming from that direction?"Gohan asked.
"Right."Krillin agreed and removed his hat. "I guess we have to go over there and see what's going on."
"I'm going with you!"Gohan said.
"Me too!"Chika added.
"What?! Are you guys nuts?!"Bulma protested. "What about me? Are you planning on leaving me here all by myself!?"
"It's a lot safer staying here than moving around carelessly."Krillin stated.
"W-when you put it that way, you're right."Bulma agreed. "Okay then, I'll put up a house with my Capsules inside this cave and wait for you."
"Good idea, Bulma."Krillin complemented.
The Son twins put their backpacks down, ready to follow Krillin.
"And don't do anything stupid!"Bulma warned.
"Remember, Gohan, Chika, keep your power levels so that they don't sense us coming."Krillin instructed.
"Yeah!"Gohan and Chika responded confidently.
Krillin, Gohan and Chika took off to investigate the direction they sensed the Namekians.
"Be safe, you guys."Bulma said. "I can't make it home without you."
Krillin, Gohan and Chika ran toward the Namekian village.
"Gohan, your releasing too much energy."Krillin warned. "Keep it down."
"Right, got it."Gohan replied.
"We are getting close, I can feel it."Chika commented.
"Let's walk from here."Krillin suggested.
"Okay!"Gohan and Chika answered in unison.
Krillin and the Son twins stopped running when they arrived in their destination.
"Do you two feel that?"Krillin asked and pointed at the top of a ridge. "It's really strong there. Come on, we'll get a better look from up there."
The three warriors carefully headed to the ridge.
"Keep your energy very low to the ground."Krillin ordered quietly.
As the trio raise their heads, they see Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria standing in the center of the Namekian village.
"Just our level right in front of them, let's go around."Krillin suggested.
"Right."Gohan replied.
Chika nodded. "Okay."
Krillin, Gohan and Chika go around to watch from behind.
"Hey that looks like the space ship we came in."Gohan whispered.
"Hopefully they will allow us to have one once we get the dragon balls."Chika stated.
"That's weird, I thought they had a radar but it looks like they are still searching."Krillin admitted and looked at Frieza. "There's the guy in the hover vehicle again, he is definitely the one in charge. His power level is massive."
"Yeah, your not kidding."Gohan agreed while shaking fear.
"I guess that must be Frieza."Chika thought with a cold glare.
Krillin suddenly notice that Zarbon and Dodoria were holding Dragon Balls.
"Check out what those guys have tucked in their arms, it's the dragon balls."Krillin panicked. "I can't believe the size of them."
Dodoria turned his head and looked upward, facing in Krillin and the twins direction.
The three warriors quickly hide so that they are not spotted.
"What's wrong, Dodoria?"Frieza asked. "Does your scouter indicates something?"
"I don't know."Dodoria responded. "For the second, I thought I indicated a very weak power level and then it just disappeared, it's properly just a bird or rodent. Nothing that would cause us any harm."
Krillin, Gohan and Chika carefully hid themselves while catching their breaths.
"We gotta be careful, if we are spotted we are good as dead."Krillin warned.
Krillin, Gohan and Chika carefully put their heads up to spy on their enemies.
"Lord Frieza, we found five of them, we will bring them out now."a solider said. "It looks like ran in before we came."
"Get moving."the second solider ordered smugly while holding out his arm-equipped blaster. "Believe me, you don't want me coming out after you."
A few Namekians step out from the house.
Two of the children who step out were Dende and Cargo.
Another Namekian man who followed them was Moori, who happened to be the village elder.
"The Namekians."Chika said.
"They look just like Piccolo."Gohan admitted.
"Guess we found the Nameks."Krillin chuckled nervously.
Frieza smirked evilly at the Namekians.
"What are they going to do?"Krillin said. "Why did he force them all to go outside?"
"Krillin are any of those bad guys saiyans?"Gohan asked.
"No, they are not."Krillin responded. "But they all have the same battle gear on. According to Vegeta, his the last saiyan existing in the whole universe. I am not counting you two and your dad."
"But who are those soldiers then?"Chika asked.
"Now that I think about Goku's big brother did mention something."Krillin stated.
"We scatter around the universe, search of planets with habitual environments and then use our skills to eliminate the native life forms."
"I am not sure, but these might be the same guys, he was talking about."Krillin admitted.
Gohan and Chika glared at Frieza and his henchmen.
"Funny that I don't see Vegeta around, do you?"Krillin asked. "Do you think his looking for the dragon balls some place else."
"My name is Frieza and as you can see, I am quite the collector of Dragon Balls. Incidentally, where are the others? According to our survey, there are supposed to be ten of you here."
The Namekians refused to answer.
"You intend not to say anything, do you?"Frieza asked. "Very well then."
Frieza threatened the Namekians with a ki ball on his fingertip, but they didn't react.
"Come now we haven't got all day have we?"Frieza questioned with a evil smile.
Zarbon and Dodoria watched in amusement.
Moori spoke up but does on in the Namekian language, confusing Frieza's soldiers.
"A valued effort, my friend, but speak to us in language that we can all understand."Frieza commented. "We know that you are able to speak it."
"T-the others are out working the fields."Moori responded. "Only those of us who are elderly or children remain here."
"There you go. As long as you answer me honestly like that, I will not do anything to you."Frieza said. "Now then, I will continue to have you answer me, please. Where is your dragon ball? I believe that there is one in your position."
Krillin, Gohan and Chika grew startled hearing that.
"You are to present it to me, immediately."Frieza stated.
"I-I don't know."Moori admitted. "We don't have anything like that."
"Dodoria."Frieza said.
"Yes, my lord?"Dodoria asked.
"I am confused."Frieza complemented. "That other Namekian we spoke to said something intriguing, did he not?"
"Yes, he did."Dodoria agreed. "Handing a dragon ball to someone that is not worthy."
"Indeed, he was most agnate that point, trying so and couldn't say more."Frieza stated. "At least until the help of his friend came in the way."
Moori and the other Namekians grew shocked that Frieza killed one of their companions.
"Once that became part of the discussion, he opened up quite a bit."Frieza admitted. "He said the seven dragon balls were created by the Grand Elder of this world. Each of them is in the custody of one of seven Elders. Each one is to engage in a contest of wits, a contest of strength and to ask the reason for one's wish. And once each Elder judges you to be a man of valour, you are at last able to obtain their dragon ball or so he told me. Well, I attempted to do as I was instructed, but he told me that he was absolutely unwilling to turn his over to me. I could not help but kill him."
"Your a liar!"Moori scowled. "I don't believe a word!"
"There is no way the others could've handed over the dragon balls without protest against someone as vile as you!"An old Namekian snapped.
"Oh no, they became quite accommodating once we did this."Frieza replied and looked at Zarbon. "Zarbon, please show them."
"Yes, sir."Zarbon answered and teleported away.
Then Zarbon leaped over and elegantly kicked the third elder in the neck, sending him sprawling to his death.
The second elder, enraged, moved to attack Zarbon, despite Moori's attempt to stop him.
Zarbon tosses up one of the Dragon Balls he was holding and dodged the elder's Energy Cannon, which hits and killed one of Frieza's other soldiers instead.
Zarbon killed the elder with a huge energy blast of his own before gracefully returning to Frieza's side and brilliantly caught the Dragon Ball he threw into the sky.
Gohan and Chika felt their anger boil of what Zarbon just did.
"Guys, you have to control your power levels or they will find us."Krillin reminded.
"We can't just sit here."Gohan protested.
"They are going to kill the Namekians if we don't do something."Chika stated bitterly.
"You both want to bring Piccolo and the others back, don't you?"Krillin asked. "There is nothing either of us can do to help the Namekians, if we take on someone that powerful."
"And here, after we've come all the way to Planet Namek."Frieza responded evilly. "How about it? Are you feeling a little more accommodating?"
"What is your purpose in gathering the Dragon Balls?"Moori questioned.
"Oh, it is just a trivial little wish."Frieza said. "I would like to obtain eternal life."
The Son twins and Krillin became shocked.
"What!?"Krillin whispered. "Then, he and Vegeta are both after eternal life?"
"Maybe they aren't friends with Vegeta after all."Gohan suggested.
"But they are both still bad guys, Gohan."Chika complemented with a frown.
"I would not turn over the dragon ball to the likes of you, even if it meant my own death!"Moori shouted.
"So you mean that you would choose death over handing it over to me?"Frieza asked. "I see. The people of this planet do seem to be quite stubborn. However will you still be so stubborn after the deaths of those children?"
Dende and Cargo held onto Moori in fear.
"You monster!"Moori growled.
Krillin, Gohan and Chika stared at their enemies with hateful looks.
As Chika began to get more angry there were small sparks of electricity appearing in her hands that were clenching to the ground.
This caused Dodoria's scouter to activate again.
"There is something strong nearby."Dodoria commented.
Then three figures appeared up in the sky.
"Lord Frieza, up in the sky!"Dodoria called out.
A trio of young warrior-type Namekians that were working in the fields arrived to the scene.
Dende and Cargo brightened up seeing their allies.
"Good, they're here!"Moori remarked.
"There's more of them."Krillin said.
"They've come to fight."Gohan stated.
The three namekians soldiers landed on the ground and were startled to see the two elders dead on the ground.
"Then our bad feeling turned out to be true!"
"That was rude."Frieza admitted smugly. "Interrupting our little chat and we were so close in a agreement. It's a pity that you came here. Don't you feel silly?"
"I didn't want to believe it, but I can see the rumours raising our village to the ground looking for dragon balls is true!"the first Namekian warrior growled. "You will pay dearly foe this! How dare you come here and violate the peace in our world!"
"Oh, you plan to fight, do you?"Frieza asked."I wonder how much battle power they have. Dodoria?"
"Yes sir, I will check."Dodoria answered and placed on his scouter.
Dodoria scanned each of the soldiers with his scouter causing he and the other soldiers to all have a good laugh at the apparent puny reading of only 1,000.
"Don't be disappointed but all three are around 1000."Dodoria chuckled.
"We will not even be needed to fight them!"Appule laughed.
"So that's it. I get it."Moori thought with a glare. "So that's how they can pinpoint the few small villages that dot the vast surface of Namek. lt's because they can search for us with those devices."
"This is laughable!"Napple mocked. "You want to tangle with us with a battle power of 1000!?"
Gohan, Chika and Krillin quietly watched the sight.
"Not true."Krillin whispered. "Those three are just suppressing their power levels. Don't they even know that?"
"I don't think they do, Krillin."Chika responded softly.
"Wait a second, the Saiyans were surprised about that too, weren't they?"Gohan asked.
Frieza's men began to run at the Namekians together, Napple leading the charge.
The Namekians visibly powered up and the Namekian in a purple tunic kicks the Napple in the face, sending him flying past where Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria were.
Napple crashes through a tree and becomes embedded in a cliff.
The other soldiers stop in their tracks in shock and the Namekians take to the air.
The soldiers armed with forearm-mounted laser guns fire at them in a panic and seem to destroy them.
But then the Namekians emerged from the smoke and engage their opponents in hand-to-hand combat.
The soldiers with laser guns fire on the purple-tunic Namek, who deflects their blasts into another soldier.
An explosion sends Cranberry flying towards Zarbon, who kicked him aside and into a lake.
"You imbecile I thought you said their power was 1000?"Zarbon scoffed.
"I don't understand."Dodoria replied and checked his scouter. "All three of them have increased to 3000."
Gohan, Chika and Krillin cheered at the Namekians on unnoticed as do Dende and Cargo.
"Way to go!"Gohan chuckled quietly. "Awesome!"
"Hang in there!"Chika remarked.
Moori noticed only three scouters remain intact: one lying on the ground, one being worn by a dead soldier and Dodoria's.
"All right, including his, there are only three devices that have not been destroyed."Moori thought before looking at Dende and Cargo. "Children, stand back from me."
"Lord Frieza?"Dodoria said. "May I take care of all three of them?"
"Knock yourself out."Frieza replied.
Moori fired a ki blast from his fingertip and blows Dodoria's scouter off his face.
"You geezer!"Dodoria answered smugly. "Tell me that is not your attack technique?"
Moori takes to the air and destroyed the other two remaining scouters.
"Dodoria! Stop him!"Zarbon shouted. "His after the scouters! Take him down!"
"Scouters?"Krillin said.
"So those are the things that tells them how strong someone is."Gohan complemented.
"That explains how they are able to find the location of the dragon balls."Chika stated.
"Of course!"Krillin admitted. "It's the same way how they know their opponent's power! They are using those devices to track down Namekians and bullying them to do what they want! That's why that Namekian destroyed their scouters."
Gohan and Chika stared at Krillin with stunned expressions before looking back at the fight.
"That little!"Dodoria growled and clenched his fists in anger. "I am done playing games! Every last one of them is going to pay, you hear me?! Every last one starting with you!"
Dodoria flew up and headed towards Moori.
The caped Namekian punched aside the soldier he was fighting.
"Moori, look out!"the caped Namekian protested.
Gohan, Chika and Krillin stared in complete awe as Dodoria headed to attack Moori.
Should they continued watching or actually stand up to help the Namekians?
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
