Vegeta and Nappa land it an unassuming Namekian Village. The young and old green skinned people all surprised by their new visitors. The two Saiyans had heard over the scouters, while they were still active, that there was one grand elder that lent out the Dragon balls to seven other elders. Vegeta looked to the Namekians, and figured none of them were this Grand Elder.

"I have come to meet your Elder, I seek the dragon balls." Vegeta announced at the startled villagers. Nappa cracked his knuckles as he could feel a few of the Namekians had comparable strength to him.

An elder Namekian stepped forward, sensed the powerful energy that came from both of them. "I am the Elder of this Village. Tell me, why do you seek the dragon balls?"

"It is no concern of yours. Hand it over." Vegeta demanded, his hand outstretched for his prize.

"I cannot, I sense evil in the both of you." The elder responded, his few villagers readied for a fight.

"Looks like you all die then!" Vegeta laughed as Nappa leapt forward, and caved in the head of one villager quickly. Vegeta lifted a hand and simply blasted a hole through the chest of the elder and caused an explosion in a building behind him. The two saiyans gladly tested out their new power on the weaker aliens. Once they were finished, they took their time to search for the dragon ball.

As the Saiyans attacked the village of peaceful namekians, our heroes had begun their travel toward Guru. Chichi with Gohan held Tarble and carried him as they attempted to keep their power low while they traveled. A sudden sense of the Namekian Village's destruction had begun, the party shifted their attention in the direction.

"That… is Vegeta's energy, right?" Gohan asked, though he knew the answer already.

"Yeah, and it feels like he and Nappa are attacking a village." Chichi said before she spit to the ground. "I hate to use it to our advantage, but while they are busy and no one else can sense us, we should rush at full power. It will make some distance and possibly allow us to get powered up first."

"Right, everyone… Let's move quickly." Krillin said as he held Bulma and had Dende hold onto his back to keep up with them. "Just lead the way Dende, leave the rest to us."

"Let us hurry, if this Vegeta and Nappa attacked a village… and the other monster attacked for the dragon balls… that makes six of the seven dragon balls taken. The grand elder will have the last one." Dende explains, the others realized this was their only chance to claim one and keep it from both sides of evil.

They powered up and took flight, as their only hope was to gain strength through this elder. Dende had to endure the knowledge that another village was destroyed by outsiders… and he would have to rely on other outsiders to help them. That or hope that the greatest warrior of their people could hold them off.

Deep in the void of space, Goku and Raditz practiced against one another. Already put themselves in twenty-five times earth's gravity and showed progress to have adjusted to the gravity. The two vanished and reappeared rapidly through the training area of the ship. The two leapt back before they bowed to each other.

"Man, you are showing a lot of improvement, Raditz." Goku huffed from the work out and sweat dripped from both of their body. "You ready to bump it to thirty?"

"If you have to ask, then you are not ready yourself, Brother!" Raditz called out with a laugh. "I say we double it and go straight to fifty!"

~Hello, Goku? Are you there goku? ~ A familiar voice echoed into Goku's mind.

"King Kai? Long time no chat! Whats up?" Goku held his hand up to Raditz to show he was not ready, Raditz nodded and moved to the Gravity machine and increased them to thirty times gravity.

~Oh, just wanted to know your Rival made it here. Arrived after the girl though, means he needs more training, I think. In both humor and form. ~ Snorts and mild laughter soon came to Goku's mind.

"Arrived after the girl?" Goku was confused, still unaware of Yurin's passing.

~Yes, the Human girl named Yurin. Apparently, she is quite skilled in the mystic arts, took a week to make a spell that allowed her to travel the whole of snake way to get here. ~

"Wait, Yurin's died!? When? I saw her on the lookout when I left to fight Vegeta." Goku was extremely confused as this was the first time, he heard of Yurin being dead.

~She used a lot of her life force trying to help your friend Tarble it seems. She has been enjoying her training here though, and I was thinking of taking her to Overworld. ~

"Overworld? What's that?"

~It is the main worlds of the Kai, where some of the greatest warriors go. But she has a long way to go before she gets that far. Just myself seeing potential in her. I sense you're in space though, what is going on? ~

"Oh, Bulma and the others went to Namek to try and resurrect Piccolo, I guess Tarble went for Yurin as well. But they ran into some powerful guys. So Raditz and I are on our way to help them out." Goku said as his excitement for a good fight only made him want to return to training sooner.

~Namek huh, let's check out these powerful guys…~ King kai's voice went quiet for a few moments. But soon it boomed into Goku's mind! ~GOKU! Freeza is on that planet! ~

"Freezer?"

~Freeza! A galactic tyrant that could wipe out all life on the planet if he wanted to. You must trust me, do not fight him. ~

"But King kai- "

~NO! Do not seek him out, gather your friends and leave. Freeza will seek out Earth and destroy it if he is angered by your mere presence. ~

"Alright King Kai, I won't seek him out" Goku laughed slightly, which stopped as he felt his body almost crumple to the ground.

"If Freeza is going to be there, no more holding back on training." Raditz's voice came from the other side of the ship, turned the gravity up to fifty times. Goku nodded as the two returned to their intense training.

As Goku and Raditz begin to increase their intense training, our other heroes head to Guru. Vegeta and Nappa occupied with their own finding of a dragon ball allowed them to slip by. What new challenge will await everyone, and will this part of the story only become easier. Find out next chapter!
