( Like I mentioned in my previous chapter, I'm going to manipulate the story line a little bit. I want to get the story back to Earth, so I will be condensing material, and skipping over or substituting certain events. I'm not following the plot right on the dot. By the way I have had a few questions as to what Calina and Gohan's ages were. I know I may not be 100% accurate on this but what the hell. Calina is 9 and Gohan is 8! )
The man who was speaking to Calina was tall for a Saiyan. His hair was jet black, like her own. It was quite messy, and his skin was a warm tan color He, like Gohan, didn't have a tail. His attire was obscure, and orange. Calina was slowly lowered to the ground. The tips of her bare feet touched the soft namekian grass as she regained her balance. Calina looked back over to Gohan, and while being put down she ran her hand along his bicep and down his forearm. Gohan's skin was unusually soft for that of a warrior. Calina's right shoulder was pressed against Gohan's. She was in a strange place, with some strange people.
" Enough messing around! We need to summon Shenron before Frieza finds out we have all of the Dragon Balls.." The woman that spoke up was a human as well. Her skin was fair, and her outlook angry. She had beautiful sky blue hair and she smelled faintly of fresh fruit. Calina liked her.
Goku clapped his hands together, " Well then lets get to work.. Gohan, you and Krillin take the dragon balls to the Namekian Village a few miles west of here, I'm going to go and get Vegeta.." The human woman now spoke up. " And what exactly am I supposed to do !" Her voice was shrill, but serious. Calina looked at the woman. If the human had black hair and possibly a tail, Calina would have sworn she was a Saiyan.
" Prince.. Vegeta.. Is he alright? " Calina spoke up in a horse voice. Everyone looked at Calina like she had three heads. " Yeah, he's doing fine. I brought him to an abandoned hyperbolic chamber for him to rest. " The man spoke up in a proud voice.
" How.. did.." Calina ran her hand along the area where she had been attacked. The crater that was in her body was now healed. She was thankful, but curious.
" Dad gave you a senzu bean.. It's a special food from Earth that has the ability to bring you back from the brink of death." Gohan flashed a small smile down to her. Calina smiled and fell silent.
" Bulma, you need to stay here with the ship. Frieza is looking for the dragon balls, I need you to stay here and keep safe. " The large Saiyan from earlier spoke to the human woman. The human huffed, but stayed quiet.
Everyone was preparing to depart when Calina spoke up. " Goku? "Calina's tone was low. She had questions. " Where.. are you originally from Goku.." Calina spoke with some confidence, was there a possibility this man was her father?
Goku turned and smiled. " I'm from Earth, I was sent there when I was a small child. I was raised by a human man named Gohan. I've been protecting my home ever since! Krillin is my best friend, and Gohan is my son. He's named after his grandfather." Goku spoke directly to Calina. Calina took in his words and processed them.
So Gohan was half human after all. There was no possibility that Goku was her father.. " Where are your tails.." Calina's tone was blunt. She was interested after all. In order for a Saiyan to reach their maximum potential, they needed their tail. She looked at both Gohan and Goku.
" Uh.. well. Both me and Gohan had them removed! " Goku's voice was upbeat, but Calina's face showed her disbelief. " You're a fool.." Calina's mouth gaped only slightly. " How do you expect to reach your full potential as warriors without your tails?..." Calina's voice tailed off. Goku began to laugh. A wide grin crept across his face.
" My tail has caused me nothing but trouble, and infact the whole reason my grandfather is dead is because I accidently killed him when I transformed. When Gohan transformed, he also was very destructive, so we didn't have a choice." There was a small pause before the small earth man spoke up, " But, uh. Goku, She didn't have any issues when she transformed. Infact, if she hadn't turned, me and Gohan would probably be toast." The short earth man was showing his gratitude, Calina smiled. Maybe he wasn't a stupid, smelly human after all.
Goku's face looked confused for a moment before it finally relaxed. " Well I'll be.. huh." Goku's voice trailed off for a moment. Calina couldn't remember seeing a Saiyan smile so much. It was abnormal.
" I'm Calina.. I.. I'm from Planet Vegeta.. I'm a Saiyan, and I work under Lord Frieza." Calina spoke up in a confident tone. The small group infront of Calina looked shocked. " Lord.. Frieza..?" Krillin spoke allowed, he laughed as he said Frieza's name. Calina was somewhat confused. Goku's face became slightly more stern. " Calina.. are you going to go back to Frieza? " Goku looked down at the small Saiyan. Calina met his intensity. " No.. I'm going to pay the consequences for my betrayal. " Calina's voice was cold and serious. "Calina.." Gohan's voice was low, his eyes looked concerned. It seemed that he enjoyed saying her name.
Calina's eyes widened, she could feel her face begin to flush. Goku spoke up again. His voice was low. " Calina, I want you to go with Krillin and Gohan.. I'm going to go get Vegeta.. Don't worry.. " Goku Reached down and placed a hand on her shoulder. " We won't let him hurt you.." Goku's hand was warm, inviting. Calina couldn't believe this man was a Saiyan. She began to smile, and a few minutes later everyone departed.
The namekian village that Calina entered had not yet been touched. It's small rounded huts still intact. The laughter of namekian children shook through the area. Gohan and Krillin found the leader of the small village. They notified them that soon they would be summoning Shenron, and that there was a chance Frieza would show up. The leader of the village agreed that it was best if they left.
Calina sat down two of the dragon balls. The shining orbs nestled into the grass below her feet. Calina counted each one, all seven.. Zero now passed over her mind.. Calina inhaled, and sighed. The human, whom Calina now knew his name as Krillin, was clearing his throat. Gohan stood next to Calina, he turned for a moment and looked at her. " Have you ever seen Shenron before?.." Gohan spoke out of curiosity. Calina shook her head. This would be her first time seeing the legendary creature. She didn't know how the process went.
" Dende should be here any minute.. Then we can get started. "Krillin spoke with a small sigh. A few minutes after he mentioned Dende, a small namekian showed itself to their area. Calina's mouth gaped. The small namekian was the same one from earlier today..The one Calina chose not to kill. Calina stayed quiet, while Gohan and Krillin began to talk to the green child. " Thanks for doing this for us Dende, it really means a lot! " Gohan's tone was upbeat. The Namekian looked over to Calina. The two of them were silent with one another, Dende pushed a smile and nodded politely at Calina. Calina nodded back.
The next ten minutes consisted of Dende standing over the dragon balls. He spoke a slew of words in an order that Calina didn't understand. The dragon balls began to glow. Each star on each ball was a blistering red, and the orbs were a bright orange. Calina couldn't believe her eyes.
The wind had begun to pick up, and Calina could feel the hair lift off her neck. The light was building within the balls, and finally gave way to a very large creature. Shenron's body twisted into the sky. His body was snake-like, green scales lined his back and deep yellow scales covered his abdomen. Shenron's body stretched and twisted into the sky above the group. It eventually ended with a large, dominant looking creature. The creature had a deep, booming voice and a massive frame. Blood red eyes loomed down on the four of them.
" What is your first.. WISH…" The creature's voice seemed to make more of a statement than a question.
"..Wow..Shenron is..huge.." Krillin spoke in a tight voice. Dende looked over to him.
" This isn't Shenron Krillin... Here on namek his name is Prounga.. He grants more than one wish.." Dende's voice was low, as if to make sure the large creature they had just summoned, wouldn't hear them.
" You know the drill Gohan, lets do this.." Krillin spoke up, his head tilted back as he attempted to look up at Prounga. Gohan was the first to speak up. " The first wish.. Is to revive our friend Piccollo.." Gohan spoke loudly, and the dragon creature nodded in acknowledgement. " Your wish… shall be granted.." Prounga placed his hand together and for a brief moment his hands began to glow. They then faded.
They didn't waste any time in continuing, as Gohan spoke up yet again. " The next wish.. is for Piccollo to get transported to Planet Namek! " Gohan's voice seemed excited. Calina wasn't sure who this Piccollo person was, but hopefully soon she would find out.
The large dragon creature once again granted Gohan's wish.. he spoke up again, this time he wished for something Calina didn't expect.. " In exactly one hour.. I want you to transport everyone here on Namek to Earth, except Goku, Frieza and anyone who works for Frieza.." Gohan spoke loudly. He looked uncomfortable. Krillin kept a constant eye on Gohan. He spoke up as Gohan finished talking. " It's for the best Gohan, we'd only get in the way.." Krillin spoke, as Gohan stayed silent. His eyes seemed to fade a little.
" Your wish.. will be granted! " Prounga spoke again. This time however, a brilliant light over took the creature's body and within seconds the dragon balls began to shake and then took on a grey color. They then turned to stone, and dropped hard to the ground infront of them.
" I don't understand.. What the wishes were for.." Calina's voice was low, and she kept eye contact with Gohan.
" Piccollo is a friend of ours that was killed in a previous battle with Saiyans, he's a namekian.. " Calina looked confused. Then she remembered when Vegeta returned to the ship, and how he had to go into the rejuvenation chamber.. Was that when? Calina's eyes widened. Could Prince Vegeta have killed Gohan's namekian friend.. It wasn't too absurd to think that while on Earth, he had killed a few of it's inhabitants.. Perhaps they would talk about it at another time..
" We have to go Gohan, it-" Krillin spoke before stopping mid sentence. His body now began to shake. Calina's nose began to go berserk, she could literally taste the fear that was coming out of Krillin. Calina turned to see Gohan's stunned face.
" Well look at we have here.. Three monkey's and a green parasite.." Frieza's voice crawled up Calina's spine. She could feel the hairs on her body stand up as she began to turn and was met with him. His body was massive. He must have been ready for a fight, because his torso was flooding with chi.
Frieza was standing on a small boulder, tail flickering behind him. " Oh we are going to have so much fun! " Frieza began to laugh as Calina's heart began to slow. Now wasn't the time to freeze up.
