Chapter 7

"Landing processes engaged. All system checks normal. Welcome to Namek, Gohan." Gohan slowly opened his eyes to his machines message. Stretching as best he could in the cramped pod, he got a few cricks out before the pod was completely opened. He jumped out of the pod and stood floating above it, happily working out the last cricks in his cramped muscles. Reaching up, he did a scouter check and started floating slowly over to Vegeta's ship. Huh, Nappa's here. I hope he didn't start the fun without us.

He landed next to Vegeta and his Uncle, and they stood waiting for Nappa. When he got there, and Vegeta made sure that he hadn't started the fun without them, Gohan's scouter beeper loudly.

Why the hell is the kid's scouter beeping? There shouldn't be any high power levels near here. Radditz reached up to have his do a check, and he saw the others do it as well. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. "AHH! 48,000! Who on this planet could possibly have a power level of 48,000!?!"

"That's not all! 20,000! 21,000! 23,000! And another that's going higher still! 100,000! 150,000! 200,000! HOW CAN THIS BE!?!" The scouter blew off of Nappa and Radditz' heads, Gohan ripped his off and smashed it. "400,000!" Vegeta ripped his off and threw his away in disgust. "Only one person can be this strong. Frieza's here."



"All right guys. We'll be setting down on Namek in 5 minutes."

Tenshinhan smiled. "Don't worry. We're ready."

Krillin, Yamcha, and Choutzu ran up. "We're ready too. This is gonna be fun." Yajirobe walked up a few minutes later, mumbling about missing a meal.

Looking over her shoulder from the controls, "I'm glad you're ready, because we're here. Now hold on tight!" With that Bulma slammed the ship into the grounds of Namek. The fighters fell over each other with the rough landing, but once they were done ran over to the door.

"Goku." The ship's door slowly opened, and the Earthlings happily jumped around. Yamcha and Krillin tested their speed by racing around the ship, while Tien looked off into the distance.

Choutzu looked confusedly over at "What are you looking at Tien?"

"There are some Nameks coming this way. And there's a village beyond them."

The hero's of the Earth stood ready as the green blurs in the distance became Nameks. In less then five minutes they were in front of the Earthlings. There were six of them.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Bulma stepped forward. "We're here to ask you to let us use your dragon balls. Y'see we're fro-"

"I knew it! They're after the Dragon Balls! They must be Frieza's men! ATTACK!" With that the Namekians launched themselves at the Earthlings. Choutzu got hit hard and Bulma and Yajirobe ran away to hide behind the ship. The others, however, did well.

Tien smashed his Namek into the ground before kicking him hard to send him flying. Launching himself after him, he kicked the Namek hard. The Namek managed to grab onto Tien's foot and tried to flip him around, but Tien punched him in the face. The Namek reeled back and Tien hit him hard again, sending him to the ground.

Yamcha feinted away, drawing a Namek after him. Disappearing, he reappeared right behind the Namek, punching him hard in the back. Reappearing again right in front of the Namek, he kicked him hard in the gut to double him over. Smashing him hard in the head the Namek fell towards the ground, but Yamcha was there again to knee him in the gut and knock him out.

Krillin faced two right off, and sped off hoping only one would follow. Seeing both follow, however, he tried to get back to the others. He barreled into the nearest one, knocking the wind out of him He saw the other coming and tried to get out of the way, but was to late. He was hit hard and knocked over but the expected attack didn't continue. He looked up and saw that Choutzu was mentally holding the Namek still. Leaping up, he powered up his arm and brought it down. The powered up arm cut completely threw the Namek, and Krillin severed him in half. He looked over at the remaining Namek, and saw that Yamcha had dealt with him.

Two Nameks had stood still during the fighting. "It's as we thought. They're two strong for us. We might as well give them the Dragon Ball. Then there's always the chance that they will spare us. Slim as that chance is."

Tien, Yamcha, Choutzu, Krillin, Yajirobe, and Bulma surrounded the two Nameks. "Who's this Frieza guy? And why did you attack us?"

The two Nameks looked at each other. "You mean, you don't work for Frieza?"

"Hey, aren't you listening? We don't even know who this Frieza guy is! Now answer our questions!"

"You don't work for Frieza! Amazing, wonderful! I don't know who you are but I'll take you to the great elder. You can tell him your story. I'm Arne. Narne you get the others, if you can. Our friends are certainly good fighters." Maybe they can even help us against Frieza.

With that the taller Namek led the Earthlings to the Great Elder and the other one gathered up his friends, or their remains.
