The Ginyu Force Arrive

I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z

"That was too close," Krillin said, watching as Vegeta flew away. "He could have killed us if you weren't here, Daisuke."

"Yeah, you were awesome mom," Gohan said, hugging her leg, and Daisuke smiled and ruffled his hair.

"But now what do we do? Vegeta said he had the other six Dragonballs and that sooner or later you guys would need to fight him to get the rest," Bulma said.

"But didn't you say that Azumi left here to go find a Dragonball that was left behind?" Daisuke asked with a smile. "If she finds that Dragonball, that means all I need to do is defeat Vegeta and take the other five Dragonballs."

"Sounds simple. But let's just hope that Azumi doesn't run into Vegeta," Krillin said.

While they waited for Azumi to return with the Dragonball, Frieza was on his ship holding a glass of wine in his hand, swirling it around while three soldiers stood behind him.

"Zarbon's late. I grow tired of waiting, he should have been back by now," Frieza said. "Either Vegeta has defeated him, or he has failed at his mission and run away to escape me. I knew that I should have dispatched the Ginyu Force from the very beginning."

"Lord Frieza, you'll be pleased to know that the Ginyu Force has been notified of your command, and are making preparations for departure. I expect to hear word from them any minute now," the soldier in front said to Frieza who smirked.

"There, you see. Now that's professionalism," he said before chuckling. "Oh, and since the Ginyu Force is coming, you will no longer be needed, ever." Before the soldier could do anything to save himself, a flash of red light engulfed him, leaving the other two soldiers quaking in fear while Frieza simply chuckled.

Meanwhile, Azumi was flying back to the others when she skidded to a stop.

"Something's heading this way! Oh man, it's Vegeta!" She flew down for cover.

"I'm sensing someone just up ahead," Vegeta said as he flew through the air. He began hovering in the air and looking around as Azumi hid behind a large mound of earth.

"I need to hide my power level," she thought, closing her eyes, and she calmed down.

"Where are you? Come out. I can't sense your power level, but I know you're down there. Whoever you are, show yourself, you can't hide forever. If you don't come out, I'll start blasting this entire area until I find you." Vegeta said, looking around.

"What can I do?" Azumi thought looking at Vegeta.

"Come out! Last chance!" the Saiyan shouted.

"I have no choice. I need to face him," Azumi thought, gritting her teeth.

"Azumi, listen to me, you're not ready to fight someone as powerful as Vegeta. True, you did fight him on Earth, but he was already weakened, and Gohan helped you. He's much stronger than he was then as well. Don't do anything foolish," she heard her mother's voice echo in her mind.

"No matter what, I need to protect this Dragonball."

"Fine, have it your way then, prepare to die!" Vegeta shouted as he began to gather energy in his hand and prepared to fire.

"Wait!" he heard Azumi shout, and he looked over at where the sound had come from and saw Azumi climbed onto the mound of earth. She looked at Vegeta, the Dragonball safely hidden behind rock she stood on.

"Well look at this, the daughter of Kakarot and his mate. We meet once again," Vegeta said, floating down towards Azumi. "I just had a run in with your friends, sibling, and mother. I had a feeling you would be close by."

"You better not have hurt them!" Azumi shouted, causing Vegeta to scoff.

"Relax brat, your mother was in the way. However, even if they still have one of the Dragonballs, they won't be able to make their wish unless they come and take the other six that I possess."

"He thinks he has the other six," she thought before Vegeta landed in front of her.

"What's with that device in your hands?" he asked her, making her look at the Dragon Radar.

"It's just a watch," Azumi answered, making him laugh.

"You mean to tell me with all the scientific technology on your planet, that huge device is a watch?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's an antique watch," Azumi answered.

"Anyway, is your father on this planet?" Vegeta asked her.

"No he's not. I haven't seen him since Krillin, Bulma, Gohan, mom, and I left for Namek," she answered.

"Aw such neglect," Vegeta said, reaching for Azumi who closed her eyes only to feel Vegeta ruffling her hair. "Too bad because you see, we are the last of the Saiyans. That means we have to look out for one another, understand? It's like we are siblings, your father, yourself, your brother, and I." he said, and Azumi grit her teeth. Before she could blink, Vegeta kneed her hard in the gut, making her eyes widen as she fell to the ground, clutching her stomach.

Vegeta placed his foot on her head. "Not too bright are you girl, you're an even bigger fool than your father. And that's saying a lot, go and cry in the arms of your mother little Saiyan, this is no place for snivelling babies. See you around." Vegeta took off into the sky, leaving Azumi alone who giggled and sat up holding her stomach.

"He didn't find the Dragonball, alright." she chirped before falling off the mound of earth. "Ow…."

"I've packed everything into a capsule any sign of Azumi yet guys?" Bulma asked running out of the cave.

"No, and I'm beginning to worry. You saw how Vegeta killed that monster, I'd hate to think of what he could do to Azumi if he runs into her," Krillin answered.

"Don't worry, she's fine," Daisuke said, looking into the sky and seeing Azumi flying towards them at top speed.

"Hey guys!" she shouted before landing and running over carrying the Dragonball. "Lookie what I found."

"Alright, nice work sis," Gohan said, and Azumi giggled as Daisuke hugged her daughter.

"Great job sweetie," she said. "Did you run into any trouble?"

"Well, Vegeta found me but he never found the Dragonball because he never even knew I had it."

"Thank goodness for that now it's time to get moving," Krillin said.

"Soon, very soon, immortality and the universe will be mine," Vegeta said as he now stood on the edge of the water where he had hidden the last Dragonball. He dived down into the water, looking around. "Where is that damn ball, I knew I left it down here," he thought as he continued searching for the Dragonball. After a moment, he saw it nearby. "Ah there it is," he thought, swimming over, and he grabbed the Dragonball only to see it was a pearl with four stars drawn on it. "It's a damn pearl! Someone stole my Dragonball!" he thought furiously before he saw a chibi figure of Azumi blowing a raspberry drawn on the pearl. Vegeta roared in rage as he blasted out of the water and shot off back towards the cave. "When I find you, you're dead! I swear it! You are dead!" he shouted at the top of his lungs while flying through a small mountain which exploded once he made contact with it. Soon he landed outside the cave, looking around. "Where are you girl, I want that Dragonball!" He ran into the cave, hoping to find Azumi and the others inside, and a few seconds later the cave exploded, leaving nothing but rubble. "NO!" Vegeta shouted, flying into the air.

"Where is she? They're all hiding, I can't sense any of them, but I'll find them. The moment they make their next move, I'll find them. No one makes a fool out of me, I swear I'll make them regret the day they were ever born. They won't leave here without the other Dragonballs, and when that time comes, they will have to deal with me," Vegeta said with a smirk.

"Alright, the coast is clear, Vegeta's not going to find us down here," Azumi said as she and Gohan looked down at Krillin, Bulma, and Daisuke. The group were standing in a small gap between two massive rocks.

"Good. Bulma, you stay here while I take Krillin and my kids to see Guru. He can awaken their hidden powers, and I have a feeling that we'll need all the power we can get. We'll be back before you know it," Daisuke said.

"But what happens if Vegeta does find me? You can't leave the Dragonballs here," Bulma replied.

"She's got a point, having one would have been fine, but two is just too much of a risk of Vegeta taking them." Krillin mumbled.

"I got an idea," Daisuke said. "Can you put the Dragonballs into a capsule?" she asked Bulma, and Krillin looked at her. "What? If hover cars, houses, and other things can be put into capsules, I don't see why the Dragonballs can't be."

"That's a great idea. That way, if we run into Vegeta, he won't be able to steal the Dragonballs from us," Gohan said, jumping down with Azumi, and they landed beside their mother.

"She's right. Can it be done, Bulma?" Krillin asked.

"Of course it can be done, I just need to find a spare capsule," Bulma mumbled as she rummages around in her backpack before pulling out one. "Here we are, hand over the Dragonballs quick," she said, and Daisuke nodded. Bulma placed the two Dragonballs inside of the capsule.

"Thanks, now let's go to Guru's place. Try to keep your power levels suppressed as we fly," Daisuke said, taking off followed by Gohan, Azumi, and Krillin.

"Come back soon you guys!" Bulma called, watching them fly away.

Meanwhile, back with the other five Dragonballs, Vegeta sat on one of them, gritting his teeth.

"Damn it, how could I let that little brat fool me so easily. That device she told me wasn't a watch, it must have been some sort of Dragonball locater, and if that's the case, I can't leave these Dragonballs unguarded for a second. Not until I know where she and the others are hiding. I have to focus, wait for them to make their next move, and sense them out." Closing his eyes, he began to focus until the ground began shaking, causing him to open his eyes. He saw a red sphere of energy streak passed his hiding place and cause a massive explosion in the distance.

"It seems Frieza is growing restless. He must not be too happy that I destroyed his ship's main power core," he thought with a smirk, watching as another red sphere of energy flew overhead, creating a large gust of wind in its wake. "He's firing wildly; he's blind without his scouters. Surely he must have sent for replacements by now, but that will take time a few days at least. I have to settle this quickly. If I can find the last two Dragonballs and make my wish before new scouters arrive, then I know I can defeat Frieza, but if they get here before then, I'm finished."

"Sheesh, are you guys feeling that?" Azumi asked as she and the others continued flying through the sky.

"Yeah, someone's using a lot of energy and they don't seem very happy," Gohan added.

"It's probably Vegeta, or it could be Frieza," Daisuke said. "We need to keep flying without stopping, it's the only way you three will get your hidden powers unlocked."

"You keep talking about hidden powers; do you really think we have any?" Krillin asked her.

"I didn't believe that I had any hidden powers either until Guru unlocked them," she answered with a smile before looking at her kids. "And you two are sure to have some as well, you both have Saiyan blood in you and you're the son and daughter of myself and Goku. This will surely make you guys stronger. Come on, let's pick up the pace, we've been flying for a long time. Since the suns never set on this planet, I can't tell how long it's been," Daisuke said as her golden aura of Ki surrounded her and she blasted off, followed by her children and Krillin. "At least at top speed we will be there in an hour."

"And Goku and Tien should be arriving soon, so they'll need our help," Krillin added, and the others nodded.

"Ha I found them at last," Vegeta said, standing up having finally sensed Daisuke and the others. "Interesting, they're halfway across the planet. I was sure they'd make an attempt to steal my Dragonballs, but it seems they've got something else in mind. Whatever they're up to, if I don't take this chance, I won't be able to take the other two Dragonballs from them. If I take one Dragonball with me, even if that blue haired woman finds this place with the tracking device, they won't have all seven." Vegeta grabbed one Dragonball before he flew off after the group of Earthlings. "They're dead! They won't escape me this time!" As he flew through the sky in pursuit of his foes, back on Frieza's ship, a soldier walked into the room Frieza was in and bowed slightly.

"Lord Frieza, we've received word from the Ginyu Force they are currently passing through Sector 9043XY. We can expect their arrival on the planet within the hour."

"Excellent, and considering the fact that Vegeta has been keeping his pointy little head down for the past few days, I think it's safe to assume that he must not have been able to collect all seven of my Dragonballs. Too bad for him, once the Ginyu Force arrives with their scouters there won't be anywhere left on this miserable planet left for him to hide." As Frieza waited for the Ginyu Force to arrive, Vegeta was currently in hot pursuit of Daisuke, Gohan, Azumi, and Krillin.

"I have them, they won't be able to escape from me this time," he thought. "I'll need to play this smart however, Daisuke's power level far exceeds my own. If I catch her by surprise, I might be able to take her out. Even if I just injure her, I might be able to convince them to hand the Dragonballs over. Not that I'll let them live after that." He laughed cruelly as he continued to gain on Daisuke and the others.

"We're almost there you guys; do you see that large peak in the distance? Guru's house is on top of it," Daisuke said to the others before she skidded to a stop and turned around.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Azumi asked before she sensed what Daisuke had. She shouted in terror. "It's Vegeta!"

"Oh man, he found us, now what do we do?" Krillin asked.

"Krillin, take Gohan and Azumi to Guru's now! Tell them you are friends of mine," Daisuke answered before she saw Krillin about to protest. "Don't argue with me, just do it!" she barked.

"Right," he said hesitantly before flying off.

"Be safe mom, please," Azumi said before she followed Krillin.

"Don't worry I will be," Daisuke replied as Gohan flew after his sister. "Come on Vegeta, I'm ready." Turning towards the direction Vegeta was approaching from, Daisuke's eyes widened as a massive volley of energy blasts was converging on her. She threw her arms up in a block and the energy blasts exploded against her. Daisuke gritted her teeth. "What's his game? He should know that these attacks can't actually hurt me." A moment later, her eyes widened and she threw herself to the side. Hidden behind the energy volley, a spinning thin disk reminiscent of Krillin's Destructo Disk was almost on top of her. It missed her by mere inches, shearing a few hairs off of her head.

Two huge energy blasts approached her from each side. Off balance, Daisuke was unable to dodge, but knocked each attack into distance with two swings of her arms, causing them to explode harmlessly. A moment later, Vegeta showed up in front of her, an irritated look on his face.

"That wasn't too bad," Daisuke said. "You almost got me there. But let's face it, outside of that disk you can't hurt me, and you won't come even close to hitting me with it now."

"Shut up woman!" Vegeta growled. "Where are the Dragonballs?"

"What's wrong, are you mad that my daughter found the Dragonball you were hiding?" she taunted, and Vegeta scowled.

"I might be weaker than you," he said, "but I'm much stronger than your brats. I can sense that they're over by that odd building." He held out a hand that began to glow with energy, and point it in that direction. "I don't need to beat you; I just need you to hand over the Dragonball."

Daisuke snarled, and was about to charge Vegeta when they both sensed a large source of energy coming from Guru's house. In an instant, Vegeta released an energy beam at the house, and Daisuke swerved to deflect it. As she moved, Vegeta blurred forwards towards the building. He was unable to cross even half the distance before Daisuke shot after him and easily intercepted him with a swift kick to his jaw. Vegeta was sent him flying back, and the Dragonball slipped from his grasp. Daisuke caught it.

"Thanks for the Dragonball," she chirped before flying off towards Guru.

"Get back here with that Dragonball, you bitch!" Vegeta roared, flying after her.

Seconds earlier, Krillin, Gohan, and Azumi were standing beside Guru who placed his hand atop Azumi's head and gasped before coughing.

"You hold much power within you child, as your sibling does. I can unlock it," Guru told her.

"Please hurry, it's Vegeta, he's coming this way," Azumi said. Her eyes widened as Guru removed his hand from her head and a massive shroud of Ki surrounded her, making her shout in awe. "Whoa! What a rush!" she shouted in excitement. Krillin and Gohan cheered happily as well, and Daisuke smiled as she landed outside Guru's house.

"So Guru managed to unlock Krillin, Gohan, and Azumi's hidden powers. Man he works fast." she said before turning around to see Vegeta land. The older Saiyan growled.

"So that's the power level I sensed. So you've finally come to settle the score? Well, here I am Kakarot!" he shouted before he saw Azumi, Gohan, and Krillin step out of Guru's house. He smirked when he saw them, only for all three to shout as they flared their newfound power. "What!?" he bellowed in outrage. "You three? But your power levels….what is this place what have you done?" After a moment, his shock was replaced with a mocking grin. "Am I supposed to be scared by you three getting a little power boost? It still means nothing, you're nowhere near my level." he told them.

"No, but I am," Daisuke said before she tossed the Dragonball in her hands to Krillin and blurred from sight. She appeared in front of Vegeta, delivering a right hook and sending the Saiyan prince skidding backwards, blood spilled him a busted lip. "That was just the warm up, would you like to experience the full Daisuke Motomiya beat down?" Daisuke asked him.

"Hey, listen up!" Dende shouted, running out of Guru's house with Nail following behind him. "Guru just said that a powerful force is heading to Namek." the young Namekian said.

"What?" Azumi asked him.

"What in the? Who is this Guru?" Vegeta asked, raising an eyebrow, while wiping the blood from his face.

"Hey, he's right, something is coming," Krillin said, looking into the sky.

"Yeah, that power level is huge," Gohan said.

"Wait, I know. It's Goku, he and Tien have finally made it!" Krillin said happily.
"Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, looking into the sky.

"If that was true...then why can I sense five individual power levels?" Daisuke asked, frowning in confusion.

"No... Not them," Vegeta said, his eyes going wide with shock before he began mumbling under his breath. "One….two...three...four, five. It has to be; damn it all, Frieza's called in the Ginyu Force."

"The who?" Daisuke asked before Vegeta ran over to her and grabbed her shirt.

"No more times for games, give me the Dragonballs right now." he said urgently before Daisuke pushed him back.

"Why should I?" Daisuke asked him.

"Because if I don't make my wish before they get here, we will all be dead," he answered.

"Do you think we're stupid, why should we trust you?" Krillin asked him.

"Listen to me. These are no petty henchmen that Frieza's called, it's the Ginyu Force. Five men, each as strong as I am, maybe even stronger," Vegeta answered, making everyone look at him in shock. "And in a few moments, they'll be here with their new scouters they'll find us and kill us all."

"I don't believe you," Krillin replied.

"Do you feel that power you fool!? None of us apart from Daisuke and perhaps myself are strong enough to defeat even one, and I doubt even she could fight them all on her own. Our only chance is to use the Dragonballs to make me immortal!" Vegeta said.

"I fear what the Saiyan says may be true. This is...an evil presence that approaches us," Nail said, looking into the sky.

"Here's the deal, we use the wish on Daisuke," Krillin said, making Daisuke look at him with wide eyes.

"Are you nuts Krillin, if we do that then we'd have wasted the wish, and I don't want to be immortal anyway."

"But you would still have two more wishes," Nail said, causing everyone to look at him. "Didn't you know the Dragonballs will grant you three wishes?"

"You're sure, Nail?" Azumi asked, and he nodded.

"Looks like we don't have much of a choice," Daisuke said with a heavy sigh. "Lead the way to the Dragonballs you've got Vegeta, but if you try anything funny, the deal is off." Vegeta nodded and he took off with Daisuke and Krillin flying after him.

"Hey wait up!" Gohan called, flying after them with Azumi on his tail.

"This is nuts!" she shouted.

"Just fly as fast as you can you fools!" Vegeta shouted at them, and the group continued to fly through the sky.

"So how long do you think it will be before the Ginyu Force arrives?" Daisuke asked.

"Any second now, we have to hurry. You'd better have those other two Dragonballs with you!" Vegeta told her.

"Don't worry, I have them," she replied before she turned her head and looked behind her. "Heads up I think the Ginyu Force have arrived and are heading this way."

"We have to go faster!" Vegeta shouted.

"Oh Dad, where are you?" Gohan said, looking at the sky.

"Don't worry, Gohan. Dad and Mr Tien will be here soon enough. Until then, I think we can handle the Ginyu Force on our own," Azumi said with a reassuring smile. Meanwhile, up in space, Goku and Tien's ship was finally approaching Planet Namek.

"We're almost there, just ten minutes left," Goku said as he finished putting on a new change of clothes to replace the shredded ones from the intense training he and Tien went through.

"No more time for training now, it's time to help our friends," Tien said. "Strange, I don't feel the least bit scared."

"The calm before the storm, we'll be in the thick of it once we land on Namek. We need to be ready," Goku said.

"It's just down there!" Vegeta shouted back on Namek as he flew down to his hiding place for the Dragonballs, and he ran towards them chuckling.

"I still say this is a bad idea," Krillin said as he, Daisuke, and her children landed, and Daisuke pulled out the capsule holding the other two Dragonballs. She opened it and the two Dragonballs fell to the ground in a cloud of smoke.

"Bad idea or not, it's our only shot. I don't trust Vegeta either, but it would be better than letting Frieza have his wish," Daisuke said as Vegeta came running over.

"What's the problem, hurry and bring the Dragonballs so we can summon the dragon!" he demanded, and Daisuke frowned before Vegeta turned around, and the others looked to see five aliens drop from the sky and land in front of the other four Dragonballs.

"Hello Vegeta," the one in the middle said.

"Been a long time, mate," the alien to the immediate left of the middle alien said before the five began laughing. Vegeta growled.

"Damn it, not now, I was so close." Krillin, Gohan, and Azumi looked at the Ginyu Force, shaking from the amount of power each member of the team possessed before they began to pose.

"Recoome!" shouted a large, orange haired and muscular human-looking alien.

"Burter!" shouted the tallest member of the Ginyu Force, towering over the other members. He had dark blue skin, red iris and pupil-less eyes, and many small spots over his body.

"Guldo!" shouted a short round alien with light green skin and four eyes.

"Jeice!" shouted a red-skinned alien of average height and long white hair.

"Ginyu!" the alien in the middle shouted. He had purple skin and two black horns on his head. The entire group wore armour and had scouters.

"Together we are the Ginyu Force!" the five aliens shouted as they posed again, making Daisuke, Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan, and Azumi sweat drop.

"These guys can't be serious," Daisuke mumbled.

"We've come for the Dragonballs and you Vegeta," Ginyu said, and Vegeta grit his teeth.

"Hey Captain, it looks like we've got the other four balls right here," Recoome said, looking at the four Dragonballs behind him.

"If you fools had only listened to me," Vegeta growled.

"How were we supposed to know that they would be here this fast?" Krillin asked him.

"Common sense, I thought you earthlings had at least a little. Now thanks to you, we're going to be killed," Vegeta snapped.

"This is going to be easier than I expected. I should thank you Vegeta for having all seven Dragonballs in one place...but you'll understand if I don't," Ginyu said.

"Vegeta was right, how the heck are we going to be able to beat these five guys, especially the one in the middle?" Krillin thought, looking at Ginyu. "His power is even more terrifying than the other four."

"Don't get too cocky Ginyu, you haven't beaten me yet," Vegeta said before Guldo approached.

"You think you're pretty tough don't ya? Well, this time Frieza's not here to save your scrawny carcass. How I've waited for this," he said.

"Oh really, is that a fact?" Vegeta asked.

"That's right, come on," Guldo taunted.

"This little guy has four eyes but no brains. With that power level, I wouldn't be surprised if my kids could defeat him. But if he's on this Ginyu Force, there must be something more to him," Daisuke thought.

"Guldo, I thought I told you not to breath near me ever again you disgusting toad," Vegeta said with a smirk, and Guldo growled and charged before Recoome grabbed his teammate and held him back.

"Frieza wants him back alive remember?" he asked, and Guldo growled but stayed still.

"Vegeta, this will go a lot easier if you just hand over the Dragonball," Ginyu said.

"And I suppose you want me to just hand myself over to Frieza as well, is that it?" Vegeta asked.

"It would make it easier for us and yourself," Ginyu replied.

"Go to hell!" Vegeta shouted. He turned around and threw the Dragonball he was holding far away. Daisuke saw Burter take flight, almost becoming a complete blur as he flew after the Dragonball and appeared merely moments later with the Dragonball in his hand.

"Nice try," he said.

"You're so quick, mate," Jeice said.

"Whoa! How did he do that?" Azumi asked in shock.

"He's fast," Daisuke said as the Ginyu Force laughed.

"A valiant effort Vegeta, but my friend Burter here just loves a good game of catch," Ginyu said.

"Impressive speed on the big blue guy's part. He's not as fast as I am though, and I know I can handle all five of these guys on my own. I'm not sure, but I might have to transform for their leader. Either way, I have a gut feeling that Frieza is on another level entirely." Daisuke thought.

"Now the other balls, please," Ginyu said, looking at the two Dragonballs at Daisuke's feet then the one in Krillin's hands.

"Destroy it!" Vegeta shouted at Krillin, who looked at him before raising his fist ready to rid himself and the others of the only chance of reviving their friends.

"At the very least Frieza won't get to make his wish come true," Krillin thought. However, he was about to bring his fist down on the ball when it suddenly disappeared from his grasp. Everyone blinked before Daisuke saw the Dragonball in Guldo's hands. She gasped in surprise. How the hell did he manage that? She didn't even see him move. Looking down at her feet, her eyes went wide as she saw that the two other Dragonballs were also missing and were now at Guldo's feet.

"So it's true what they say then," Vegeta growled in frustration.

"You gonna fill us in, or do we need to guess?" Gohan asked him.

"I never believed it, but Guldo has the ability to freeze an instant in time," Vegeta answered, making the others gasp.

"Impossible," Daisuke said.

"Just keep telling yourself that," Guldo replied, chuckling.

"Alright, we have what we came for, now it's time to decide what we're going to do with you lot. Treat them nicely boys," Ginyu said.

"We should run," Krillin whispered.

"It's no use, they'd catch us if we tried. Our only chance is to stand and fight," Vegeta replied.

"How much do you know about these guys?" Daisuke asked him. "Any weaknesses?"

"None that I can think of off the top of my head, we just need to hold out long enough to find one we can exploit," the Saiyan prince answered.

"Well that's reassuring," Azumi mumbled as she reached for her sword on her back.

Daisuke scoffed. "Not to sound arrogant, but with my current power these guys shouldn't be much of a problem. You don't need to worry." Vegeta growled, but the others looked relieved.

"Now who gets Vegeta?" Ginyu asked as the other four members of the Ginyu Force began playing rock paper scissors.

"These guys are weird," Gohan said.

"Yes, I get Vegeta!" Recoome cheered.

"You always win," Guldo grumbled, upset.

"Now now, fair is fair," Ginyu told him.

"I'll tell you what, I'll let you have a few hits first if that makes you happy," Recoome said, making Guldo chuckle with malice.

"Now that that's settled, I'll take the Dragonballs to Lord Frieza," Ginyu said as the seven Dragonballs floated into the air above him. He flew off laughing.

"Oh no you don't!" Daisuke shouted. Glancing at her kids, she said, "Gohan, Azumi, listen to Krillin until I get back." She sped off after Ginyu.

Ginyu had a small headstart, and perhaps more important, was a little faster than her, but she managed to stay his tail. After a minute or two, he turned around, a bemused expression on his face. "You're persistent."

"I won't let you use the Dragonballs! Hadoken!" Daisuke fired a sphere of Ki at Ginyu who smoothly dodged and retaliated with one of his own. Daisuke flew around it and slammed into him like a falling star. He blocked her first blow with an arm, and several retaliated with a blow to her gut. Daisuke managed to dodge the worst of it, and soon the fighters were tearing up the landscape around them, their clashing blows causing bursts of air to explode around them. After a couple of minutes, they separated.

Daisuke fire a barrage of Hadoken shots at Ginyu who knocked them aside and fired an energy wave at her. Despite her dodge to the side, the attack followed Daisuke and crashed into her, causing her to cry out in surprise as she was thrown into a nearby mountain.

"Kamehameha!" Echoed from the mountain, and a blue beam of Ki shot towards the leader of the Ginyu Force. He dodged easily before lifting an arm.

"Milky Cannon!" A purple beam of energy flew to where Daisuke had crashed into the mountain, and the resulting explosion decimated it. Ginyu tapped his scouter, and then gave a grin. "Come out, I know you're there."

With a blur of motion, a somewhat scorched Daisuke appeared in front of him, panting. "Asshole."

"Now now," he chided. "Don't get me wrong, you're easily one of the strongest enemies I've ever faced. Almost no one has made me use my full power of 120,000. But your own 100,000 just isn't enough."

"I've only just begun!"

"Hah! Ridiculous. And are you sure you have time to fight me?"

An uneasy expression passed over Daisuke's face. "What do you mean?"

"If you're here," he began, "who's keeping the other members of my Force from killing Vegeta and the brats?" Daisuke paled. She had hoped that she could take care of him quickly and return before he reached Frieza, but this was taking longer than she had expected.

"This isn't over!" she shouted. No, she wouldn't risk Gohan and Azumi, not even if it meant Frieza getting the Dragonballs. Ki burst around her, and she sped back in the direction she had come. "I can only hope I'm not too late," she murmured, concentrating on the feel of her children's Ki.

Back with the others, Daisuke had just taken off after Ginyu. "Gohan, Azumi, come here," Krillin said, and the kids walked over to her. "Most of these guys are out of our league, but you should be able to beat the green one. I'll be helping Vegeta against the others, okay?"

"Are you sure we can do it?" Azumi asked.

"Hey, you're strong. I'm sure you'll be fine," Krillin said, a smile on his face.

"Didn't you say Kakarot and that three eyed earthling were coming here to save everyone?" Vegeta asked Krillin.

"Don't know about you, but they're coming to save Gohan, Azumi, Daisuke, and myself."

"I'm not trying to win a popularity contest here; all I'm saying is that we might need their help soon." Vegeta grumbled.

"Frieza?" Krillin asked, and the Saiyan prince nodded.

"Hey Guldo, why don't you take your turn first?" Recoome asked Guldo.

"Now that you mention it, that sounds like the best idea," Guldo said, stepping forwards.

"Get ready!" Krillin ordered.

"You ready Azumi?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah. What do you say we turn up the heat!?" Azumi shouted as she and Gohan were surrounded by their Ki auras, making Burter, Recoome, and Jeice's scouters go wild while Guldo looked on in shock.

"What the?" he asked as the twins flew into the air.

"Lot of good that's gonna do," Recoome said with his arms folded across his chest as he, Burter, and Jeice looked at Azumi and Gohan.

"Now!" Azumi shouted as she and Gohan stopped ascending into the sky.

"Right," her brother replied as both charged their attacks.

"Hadoken!" Azumi shouted, tossing a sphere of Ki at Guldo while Gohan fired a Kamehameha. Azumi and Gohan blurred from sight and reappeared off to the side as their attacks hit the ground, creating a massive explosion. Both looked around to see Guldo running away.

"Hey how'd he get way over there when he was here when we fired at him?" Azumi asked, confused.

"His ability to control time, that's how. Looks like Vegeta was right," Gohan answered.

Meanwhile, the three other members of the Ginyu Force flew into the air away from the explosion.

"I'm impressed, those two are tougher than we thought," Recoome said as Burter's scouter beeped.

"Now, isn't that something. Looks like our little friends can increase their power levels without transforming."

"Hey Vegeta, you got some choice mates there," Jeice shouted over at Vegeta.

"Incredible, their speed and power has increased exponentially since I fought them on Earth. How can they be this strong without any kind of special training?" the Saiyan asked himself. Aloud, he said, "The brats should be careful. Guldo's pathetic, but he'll do anything to save his hide. A frontal assault isn't a good idea."

"Let's get him!" Gohan shouted before he and Azumi began vanishing and reappearing rapidly, making Guldo look around in confusion. Soon his four eyes began spinning, and he growled before taking a deep breath in.

"Time Freeze!" he shouted, stopping time once again. Opening his eyes, he saw Gohan and Azumi right in front of him and he turned to run away. "Wait...why am I the one running away?" he thought before he turned back around. "Say goodbye you brat." He held his hand up and charged an energy attack. Throwing it at Azumi just as he breathed out and time resumed, Azumi's eyes widened. She held her arms up, blocking the attack while gritting her teeth.

"You think you're so smart. Take this four eyes!" she shouted. "Kamehameha!" She cupped her hands and fired an electric blue beam of Ki right at Guldo who took off running, but the force of the impact sending him tumbling across the ground.

"If I were a betting man, I'd bet that Guldo's about to lose," Burter said.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious," Jeice said with a snort.

"Guldo will kill them both in under a minute, one chocolate nut bar says he does," Recoome said, pulling out a candy bar.

"Ha! You're on," Burter replied with a grin. Guldo meanwhile was panting heavily, an act that Azumi and Gohan noticed.

"He's running out of energy," Gohan said.

"I'll circle around and try to get him from behind while you keep him occupied," Azumi said before she vanished, followed quickly by Gohan. They appeared in several locations rapidly in front of Guldo whose eyes widened.

"Time Freeze!" He held his breath just in time as Gohan appeared in front of him frozen, and he smirked and turned only to see Azumi right behind him. "Oh hell, I'm all out of energy!" he thought before he grabbed Azumi and tossed her into Gohan. He took off running. "I gotta find a place to hide until I can catch my breath." He took shelter behind a rock and let out the breath he was holding in, causing time to resume, and Gohan and Azumi skidded across the ground.

"Hey, watch it," Gohan said, sitting up.

"Blame the four eyed freak, he stopped time. But I don't think he can do it again, now's our chance to finish him off," Azumi said, standing up before flying off. Gohan followed her. "He's behind that rock!"

"Argh get away!" Guldo shouted running off once he saw them both. "Wait a sec!" he shouted before he ran off just before a Hadoken fired by Azumi hit the ground creating an explosion sending him rolling across the ground again.

"Kamehameha!" Gohan shouted firing another blue beam of energy at Guldo who rolled out of the way.

"You're killing me here, Guldo!" Recoome shouted.

"I don't know, I'm enjoying watching him get his flabby tail whipped," Burter said.

"Hey Guldo, if you don't kill those two punks quick, then you're outta the Ginyu Force and you lose your spot on the bowling team!" Jeice shouted with a smirk.

"They have a bowling team?" Krillin asked Vegeta who groaned.

"Don't ask."

"Time to finish him!" Gohan shouted, flying down towards Guldo at full speed.

"It's time to pull out all the stops!" the four eyed Ginyu Force member shouted as he held his hands up. He shouted loudly, and Gohan was suddenly frozen in place, struggling to move. "How do you like that you brat, I call it the Mind Bind."

"Looks like what we said really lit a fire under Guldo," Recoome said.

"Too little too late, you lose the bet Recoome. It's been more than a minute," Burter said with a grin.

"Fine, here's your stupid chocolate," Recoome grumbled, tossing the candy bar to Burter who caught it.

"It's payback time, brat," Guldo said to Gohan with a smirk before he raised his arms, causing large chunks of the ground to float into the air. They turned into smaller chunks before they all flew towards Gohan and began pelting him in the face, him completely unable to defend himself.

"Looks like the brat tried a frontal assault, and it's going to bite him," Vegeta said.

"Guldo, step on it and kill them already!" Recoome shouted.

"Yeah, we don't have all day," Burter added while Guldo laughed.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" He heard a whisper in his ear, and turning around, all he saw was the glint of steel before his head was severed from his body. Azumi lifted her sword as his head fell from his shoulders and rolled across the ground.

"You little brat…you can't...defeat me….I belong to the Ginyu Force!" Guldo shouted.

"Not anymore you don't," Azumi said coldly. Holding up her hand while her sword rested on her shoulder, she fired a Hadoken at Guldo, obliterating his head. Gohan was now freed and dropped to the ground.

"Thanks sis."

"No prob," she replied, tossing her sword into the air and it fell perfectly into its sheath. She giggled.

"Show off," Gohan said with a grin.

"I can't believe it, that crazy bitch actually killed Guldo!" Jeice shouted.

"Yeah, now the captain's gonna be pissed; he spent a lot of time on our choreography," Recoome said.

"And someone has to pay, which means those brats need to be killed," Jeice said.

"I got dibs on Vegeta, you guys need to decide who gets the others," Recoome said.

"Nice work you two," Krillin said as he landed beside Gohan and Azumi with Vegeta. "But the fight isn't over yet. I hope that Goku and Tien will get here soon."

"Hope isn't a luxury any of us can afford right now," Vegeta told him.
