Chapter 8
Radditz looked at Vegeta horrified. "Frieza? We've got to get out of here. Now."
"It's no use. Their scouters will have picked us up by now. If we leave Frieza will think we're rebelling against him. And DAMNIT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS YET!"
Gohan shrugged. "So we wait for him to come to us. It's no big deal, I mean he can't be all that tough."
Nappa laughed. "You don't know what you're talking about kid. Frieza rules this universe. He's too strong for all of us combined. All we can do is hope he's in a good mood."
Nail watched as the people grew closer. After a while he realized that one was Arne. Unusual to see him without Narne. And who are these people he's bringing with him. No one but Nameks are allowed to see the Great Elder. "Arne, why are you here? And why do you dare to bring others to the place of the Great Elder?"
"Nail, I'm glad to see you. These people are from the planet Earth, and they don't work for Frieza. They're really strong too, they beat everyone in my village. Maybe they can help us."
"These are very bad times, or I would refuse this altogether. But as it is I will go and see the Great Elder. I'll ask him if he will see them. Wait here." With that Nail turned and walked into the big house.
"Well he's not very friendly, is he?"
"Nail is very protective of the Great Elder, and is a very strict follower of the ancient rules. Now let me tell you something of the Great Elder. He is very very old, and he is the father of us all. Most likely he'll explain it all to you, but be prepared for he doesn't look like other Nameks. He is very old and very large, he has lost all abilities to walk, and Nail is his guardian."
Nail stepped out of the shadows of the doorway and laid a hand on Arne's shoulder. "That's quite enough, don't you think Arne? The Great Elder has agreed to see you, I will lead you to him. Arne, perhaps we will be able to have a talk about the Ancient Rules while they see the Elder."
"Hehehe, of course Nail. Hehehe." And with that Nail led them into the Giant House.
I really don't see what this big deal about Frieza is. Even Vegeta's afraid of him, coward. I bet I could beat him, he can't be all that tough. "Oh good. They're here."
Vegeta looked at the kid. What d'you mean. I can't see them."
"I can sense them. Can't you? They're right over those hills.
"You know, I almost think you're right. In fact, I can even see them now. Yes, there's a bunch of them, and even Frieza himself. It looks like we might be in trouble. Oh well, Nappa, hold onto the kid."
In less then a minute Frieza and his men faced the assembled Saiya-jins. He was in his usual floating chair, and with him were Zarbon, Dodoria, and Cui. Each of his minions held a Dragon Ball.
So this is Frieza. A little Pink and Purple runt. And who are these other fools. A spiky pink blob and a little blue lizard. The only one that looks formidable at all is that tall teal guy. Still, is these guys are the ones with the huge power levels then I should be careful.
"Vegeta, I thought it was you. Why are you here? Answer me now!"
"Frieza, we came here to have some fun killing Nameks. Nothing else."
"I don't believe you! You're here after the Dragon Balls aren't you!"
Vegeta looked confusedly at Nappa. "Dragon Balls? I don't even know what those are."
Zarbon spoke up for the first time. "Don't believe him, Lord Frieza. He's lying. He's here to wish for immortality so he can kill you."
"I think you're right Zarbon. You, Cui, and Dodoria will stay here and kill them. Catch up to me with the Dragon Balls when they're dead. I'll be at the ship preparing to move against the next village."
Zarbon nodded and smiled happily. "Yes Lord Frieza."
Dodoria stepped forward and made a fist. "It won't be a problem."
Frieza flew off and the Saiya-jins prepared to fight the three powerful warriors.
"Many long, long years ago, a huge storm wrecked our planet. I was the only one to survive, and I created all the other Namekians here. I also created the Dragon Balls. Few people ever came to our planet, and it was relatively undisturbed. But finally the evil Frieza heard of the Magic Balls of Namek, which could grant any wish. Now he is here to wish for immortality. But us Namekians will never tell him their secret. He has gathered three of the balls, though, and many of my people have been killed. There were few of us before he came, but now there are even fewer. I fear for the survival of the very Namekian race."
"You, however, came here for a different purpose. To revive friends untimely killed, and one a Namekian no less. I will help you if I can. I will order Nail to bring all of the Dragon Balls that have not been taken by Frieza's men to be brought here, as well as all of our people that he can find. Unfortunately, we can not help you get the balls from Frieza. If you can get them, bring them here and your friends will be revived. I wish you luck. But before you go I have something for you that may help you on your quest." The Great Elder called them up one at a time to unleash their hidden powers and to make them stronger.
"Oh thank you Great Elder."
"This is far better then we hoped."
"With this new power we'll get those balls from Frieza right away." With that Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Choutzu flew off, leaving Bulma and Yajirobe behind.
Radditz looked at Vegeta horrified. "Frieza? We've got to get out of here. Now."
"It's no use. Their scouters will have picked us up by now. If we leave Frieza will think we're rebelling against him. And DAMNIT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS YET!"
