The next world, I don't think needs an introduction. You all know what it is, right? I also remember the fights from that series better than Saint Seiya.
Chapter 30: The Namek Saga Part 1
30 minutes have passed since the gummi ship left Megaland. Sora was looking outside the window, still thinking about what Riku said earlier.
Do you even want to save Kairi?
These words haunted Sora's mind and it was something he couldn't get over. Riku would have never say something like that about Sora caring for Kairi. He had a crush on her ever since he was little. He remembered how they would always play together on the island and that Kairi was always around him. He would do anything for her. He would run around the island, bringing things for her. He felt funny beats in his heart. Then, Plucky walked up to Sora.
Plucky: Sora, are you OK?
Sora: I don't know. My heart feels funny. I'm a little scared.
Plucky puts his hand on Sora's forehead and felt it.
Plucky: You don't seem to have a fever. I doubt you'd have any heart problems at your current age. But I'll listen to it anyways.
Plucky pulls out a stethoscope, puts the ear parts on his ear, puts the circular part on Sora's chest, and listens to it for a few seconds.
Plucky: It sounds pretty normal to me. Maybe you're a bit stressed out.
Sora: You think so?
Plucky: Sometimes, I get irregular heart beats when I get stressed out too. I don't think there's anything wrong with your heart.
Sora: Maybe it's just all in my head. I feel a little better now. Thanks, buddy.
Sneezer: Guys, we're heading to another world.
Everybody looked up the window and saw a planet. The planet has blue grass and green water. There is also a giant white saucer on the planet.
Sora: What is that world?
Sweetie: It is called Namek, home of the Namekians. It is also home to the seven wishing balls called Dragon Balls. But what is that saucer? It doesn't look very peaceful.
Plucky: Well, we better make a safe landing.
Sneezer: Uh-oh.
Sweetie: What's wrong, Sneezer?
Sneezer: I think I'm gonna sneeze! Ah...ah...ah...
Sweetie: Sneezer, NO! You'll damage the controls!
Sneezer: ACHOO!
Sneezer sneezes on the controls, doing some damage to it and making the ship spin towards the planet at a fast pace.
Sora: Hold on, everybody! We're going for a ride!
The ship crashed into the planet. A few minutes later, Sora woke up and finds that he was on the blue grass. He looks up to see that the sky is green. He then looks at the water to see that it's green too.
Sora: Why is the grass blue, but the sky and water are green? Is this a dream?
World: Planet Namek
Sora began walking around the place for a while. He called out for Plucky and Dizzy, but there was no response. Eventually, he came across the white saucer. Upon arriving to the saucer, he heard a familiar voice.
?: Welcome, space traveler. What brings you here on this fair planet?
Sora turned up to the top of the saucer and saw none other than Riku.
Sora: Riku, where are Plucky and Dizzy?
Riku: Are they really more important than your old friends?
Sora: No, of course not. But they're my friends, too.
Riku: Really? Instead of worrying about them, you should be worrying about her.
Riku moved aside, which shocked Sora about who he saw. It was Kairi. She was pale as a ghost and her eyes were almost closed.
Sora: KAIRI!
Riku: While you were fooling around with your new friends, I finally found her. Isn't it ironic that I found what you've been looking for this whole time?
Sora: I need to go talk to her.
Sora ran forward to see Kairi, only to be stopped by a purple beam in front of him.
?: Hold it right there!
He turned to his right to see Frieza, pointing his finger at him.
Frieza: No shenanigans on my vessel, brat.
Next to Frieza are five aliens. All of them wearing some kind of space armor. One of them was purple with horns on the sides of his heads. One was a human looking one with red short hair. One was a blue alien with red eyes. One was a red alien with long white hair. The last one was a short green alien with four eyes. Two on the front of his face and two on his sides. They are Ginyu, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo of the Ginyu Force.
Sora: Riku, why are you siding with the heartless?
Riku: The heartless obey me now, Sora. I am their master and they'll do as I say. I have nothing to fear.
Sora: You're crazy, Riku. You're blinded by rage and the heartless will eat your heart.
Riku: I highly doubt it. My heart's too strong. I don't need any advice from you.
Sora: Riku...
Riku: I've picked up a few other tricks, like this.
He raised his hand forward. A shadow version of Sora appeared in front of him.
Riku: I extracted that from the dark part of your heart and created a heartless version of yourself. I can't be defeated by you.
Sora didn't know what to do. He was betrayed by his best friend and no matter what he did, he couldn't talk any sense into Riku. Sora thought that all hope was lost and he finally put his head down.
Riku: You're a pathetic wreck. If only Kairi could see you now. However, I do feel sorry for you, so you can see your friends now.
Frieza: Captain Ginyu, take the boy to the prison!
Ginyu: Yes, Lord Frieza! Recoome, Burter, take him to his friends!
Recoome and Burter took Sora's arms and carried him to Frieza's ship.
Riku: Let's get ready to depart. And keep Sora away from Kairi.
Riku went back inside the ship. Frieza made an upset look and turned back to Ginyu.
Frieza: I can't believe this. I am Lord Frieza, the galactic space tyrant. No one should tell me what to do. Especially, that little brat.
Ginyu: What shall we do with him?
Frieza: Nothing. The heartless are crawling all over the ship. They'll take care of the brats.
Ginyu: But Lord Frieza, you-know-who is also-
Frieza: Silence! I'm not worried about that space monkey. He won't stand any chance against me. Besides, we have the Dragon Balls. We shall use the wish to grant me immortality.
Ginyu: But, sir. We can't unlock them without a password.
Frieza: Then I'll go find a Namekian who might know the password. You will guard the ship until I return.
Frieza then flew off, while Ginyu guards the ship. Back inside the ship, Recoome and Burter are taking Sora to a room with a prison cell. They threw Sora in the cell and locked him in. He sat back down in the cell and looked around the room. It was empty and quiet. So quiet that he can hear his own breathing. Then, he heard a voice.
?: Sora? Is that you?
Sora turned to his left see Dizzy.
Sora: Dizzy!
Dizzy: Sora, it is you!
Dizzy ran to Sora and jumped on him, licking his face clean which caused Sora to laugh.
Sora: Dizzy, cut it out! That tickles! I'm glad your OK, too!
Dizzy: Of course, no one keep Dizzy down!
Sora: How did you get here?
Dizzy: Dizzy remember landing on ship and then white alien lock Dizzy and Plucky in here.
Sora: Plucky's in here too? Where is he?
?: I'm down here, kid.
Sora looked down to see he's on top of Plucky.
Plucky: I'm glad to see you're alive and well, but do me a favor and get off me.
Sora: Oh, sorry.
He got off Plucky and Plucky jumped up.
Plucky: OW! I'm gonna have a back ache for a week.
Sora: I didn't see you there. You think you'd get used to taking these blows.
Plucky: I just hope Elder-Ham, Sweetie, and Sneezer are OK.
Suddenly, Elder-Ham got out of Sora's jacket.
Elder-Ham: I'm right here, Plucky.
Plucky: Then that just leave us with Sweetie and Sneezer. By the way, how did you get here kid?
Sora explained about how he arrived and met Frieza, but upon mentioning Riku, he slid his back down the wall.
Sora: Riku betrayed me. He sided with the heartless now.
Plucky and Dizzy both gasped in horror as Sora puts his head down. Dizzy ran up to hug him, trying to make him feel better.
Dizzy: Sora, no be sad. Sora may have lost Riku, but Sora no lose Dizzy and Plucky.
Plucky: We're right here for you, kid. We promise we're going to help in anyway we can.
Dizzy moved away from Sora as Sora smiled.
Sora: You're right, Plucky. I can do this. I'll find a way to stop Riku and rescue Kairi. By the way, I found her.
Dizzy: Sora don't say! Sora found Kairi?
Sora: Yeah, now we must rescue her.
Dizzy: Then Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy go up and talk to Kairi.
Plucky: Then, let's go!
Plucky walks towards the exit with his eyes closed.
Sora: Aren't you forgetting something genius?
Plucky What?
Plucky walked into a metal bar and hits it. He fell down, making Sora and Dizzy laugh.
Sora: You forgot that we're still trapped in here.
Plucky: Oh, right! I knew that! I was just checking the bars for you.
Sora walks over to the bar and sighs.
Sora: We need to find a way out of here. But there are no keyholes here.
Dizzy: Now what we do?
?: Hey, what's up?
Sora: Plucky, did you say something?
Plucky: It wasn't me.
?: Looking for a way out?
Everyone turned around to see a man with black spiky hair and wears an orange gi and blue belt, wrist bands, and boots . Next to him are a little boy with black straight hair and a purple gi, a short bald man also wearing an orange gi, and a green little boy with pointy ears and wearing some old white clothes with a dark pink vest.
Dizzy: Who you?
Man 1: Who am I? I'm the answer to your prayers. Your ray of hope. The light at the end of the tunnel.
Plucky: Young man, you should learn to respect your elders.
Sora: But, Plucky. You're younger than him, so I wouldn't call you elderly.
Plucky: Well I don't trust his face.
Man 1: You don't believe me? Fine, then you won't get my help.
Sora: Wait! Sorry about Plucky. He forgot to take his pills today.
Plucky was about to talk but Sora grabbed his beak.
Sora: He gets cranky sometimes in the morning. We could really use the help, but don't you realize you're stuck in here too?
Man 1: You're kidding? No one keeps us locked in here.
Plucky: Then what are you doing in here?
Boy 1: We're waiting for someone.
Sora: Who are you waiting for?
?: If you're done fooling around Kakarot, we have to go find the Dragon Balls.
Another man with black spiky hair and wears a blue suit with white armor, gloves, and boots appeared.
Man 1: Vegeta, what took you so long?
Vegeta: I've been looking around this ship trying to find the Dragon Balls.
Man 2: What about Bulma? We've gotta go find her too.
Boy 1: I heard that she's in one of the upper floors. I also heard that there's another girl with her.
Sora: There's another girl?
Vegeta: Who cares about that woman? All we need are the Dragon Balls and leave.
Man 2: Are you crazy, Vegeta? There's no way we're gonna leave Bulma here!
Plucky: Aha! So short guy must have a girlfriend.
Plucky laughs while the short man looks at him with anger. He fired an energy ball at Plucky, which shot his beak out.
Plucky's beak: What was that for?
Man 2: That was for teasing me.
Plucky walks over to pick up his beak and puts it back on his face.
Man 1: I guess you guys can tag along with us.
Sora: Alright, but we haven't introduced ourselves.
Man 1: Oh, right. I'm Goku.
Boy 1: I'm his son Gohan.
Man 2: I'm his friend Krillin.
Boy 2: And I'm Dende.
Goku extends his hand to Sora
Sora: I'm Sora.
Sora extends his hand and was about to shake Goku's hand, but Goku quickly pulled it away.
Goku: Too slow! We're all going together until we find Bulma.
Vegeta: Fine. You can go find that woman, Kakarot. But I'm gonna go find the Dragon Balls.
Goku blasts the prison cell, freeing everybody. After they escaped, they encountered Pirate heartless. They carry scimitars and wears red bandanas and brown pants. Sora, Goku, and the rest of the gang quickly finishes them off. They opened another prison cell which contains a chest. Sora opens the chest and finds five Pikmin in it. While walking through the hallway, Dizzy noticed that Goku and his friends can fly, so he speaks.
Dizzy: So, how come Goku can fly?
Goku: Anyone can fly. You wanna try?
Sora: Of course we want to.
Goku: OK. First, you focus your Ki.
Sora: What is Ki?
Gohan: It's a type of life energy that exists in all lifeforms.
Dende: Some people use it to attack, fly, or heal others.
Goku: That's right. You guys need to focus.
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy did as they were told and focused. They closed their eyes for a moment, then some aura appeared around their bodies. When the aura dimmed, the opened their eyes to see that everything was normal.
Sora: I don't feel different.
Goku: Don't worry, I'm sure it worked. Now you guys can fly.
Plucky jumped into the air and waved his arms, but then falls back down. Everyone laughed at Plucky's misery.
Goku: It needs a little work.
Meanwhile, back at the ship's bridge, Riku was talking to Frieza through the TV monitor.
Frieza: WHAT? So you're saying that Bulma is not one of the chosen ones?
Riku: Yes. There are seven princesses, and Ganondorf says she's not one of them.
He turned away from Frieza and looked out the window.
Riku: Before we leave this planet, we shall leave all the dead weight behind, including her.
Frieza: After all the trouble of capturing her? And why those seven? What is Ganondorf's plan for them?
Riku: Who knows what he's planning. But as long as it holds the key to getting Kairi's heart back, I couldn't care less.
Frieza: Ha! It's a silly waste of time. The heartless have eaten that girl's heart. I'd stake my life that it's lost forever.
Riku: Say what you want, but I will find it, no matter the cost.
Suddenly, Ginyu ran into the room and ran up to the TV monitor.
Ginyu: LORD FRIEZA!
Frieza: What is it, Captain Ginyu?
Ginyu: The prisoners have escaped. If that's not bad enough, Goku and Vegeta are with them.
Frieza: Curse those Saiyan monkeys! Why do they keep interfering in my plans? Very well then, bring the prisoners to the bridge.
Ginyu: YES, SIR!
The TV monitor shuts off and Ginyu left the room. Riku just sighs.
That's it for chapter 30. Stay tuned next time, on Dragon Ball Z, I mean Tiny Toondom Hearts.
