AN: I tried to buy Dragonball Z (so I could redo the dub) but it didn't work. Crap.
Chapter 4: The Coming of Vegeta
King Kai was freaking out. "Oh no! The earth is in real trouble this time! They have no idea what this guy can really do!" Bubbles was running around screeching while Gregory was carrying a big mallet and went up behind him.
"Hey! I know what you're up to! And if you'd stop being such idiots I could concentrate on freaking out about the Earth's condition!"
Piccolo took a flying leap at Refrigatom, and, of course, missed badly.
"You really don't think that you can hit me, do you?" Refrigatom asked. "Try all you want but I assure you that you won't touch me."
"Oh yeah?" Piccolo replied. "Well why don't you fight back?"
"Because I know you'll waste all of your energy just trying to touch me once so there's no point in wasting any of mine," he answered.
"Well get ready because you'll wish you had fought back once I get through with you!" Piccolo yelled. He flew at Refrigatom with one arm out, ready to punch, but suddenly kicked at the last second and actually hit him. But all that happened was that he started shaking like a can full of Jello.
"Is that the best you can do?" he asked, remaining unhurt. "Because if it is, I'll just destroy you now!"
"I still think we should go and help Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan exclaimed. "If he doesn't know what he's up against, he could get killed and... yeah."
"But he told us not to follow him," Krillin said, beginning to freak out, "and personally, I don't want to get Piccolo mad."
"Oh, come on!" Yamcha said, "it wouldn't do him any good in killing us because he might need the help, though none of us have eaten anything all day and probably are a lot weaker because of that."
"Yeah," Trunks added. "Anyway I don't want to leave because I just got here and I really don't want to stay here because... well, um, let's go!" So, all six of them flew in the direction Piccolo and Refrigatom went and they also did that weird thing where they can sense power levels. And they arrived right after Piccolo's last sentence.
"What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed. "I told you I could do this by myself!"
"But you need our help!" Gohan replied. "You don't even know that he's a shapeless blob!"
"I kind of figured that out," Piccolo answered, "so you can leave now and leave this all to me!"
"Well, it shouldn't be too hard if you do it right," Trunks said, "because, seeing as he isn't as strong as he says he is, all we have to do..."
"Oh, shut up!" Refrigatom exclaimed. "Just because you think you know everything, future boy, doesn't mean that you do!"
"How did you..." Trunks began
"Oh, come on. What did you think I was doing while I wasn't in the story, fighting? No! I was watching the rest of you, what else was there to do? And, by the way, you heard wrong. I am much stronger than all of you and I could kill you all right now if I wanted to. In fact, I was just about to kill your little green friend here, if you'd care to watch." He suddenly shot a little blob out of himself and it wrapped around Piccolo. He tried to fight his way out but it just kept constricting around him.
"No!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Do you still think you can beat me?" Refrigatom said as the blob continued to crush Piccolo. Suddenly, a laser ball thingy came from behind and went through Refrigatom, but it was enough to distract his attention and set the blob off Piccolo.
"No one's beating this alien but me!" Vegeta said (who else could it be?). "And now I'll prove that I'm the strongest Saiyan ever!"
"Oh, brother," Trunks mumbled. "Father! You don't know what you're getting into!"
"Shut up!" Vegeta called back. "I can handle this myself!" Then he clenched his fist and started screaming and then he made his hair turn blonde and though everyone else was expecting this, they started freaking out. Refrigatom, however, wasn't impressed.
"Oh, I'm so scared," he said sarcastically. "A guy who can make his hair change color on command, oh how horrible."
"You better be!" Vegeta answered. "And now I'll prove that I'm stronger than Carrottop!"
"Carrottop?" Chao Su asked. "Oh, isn't that Goku's real name?"
"Yeah," Tien replied. "That's probably why Vegeta always uses it."
In the meantime, Vegeta had begun to shoot lasers at Refrigatom in a desperate attempt to destroy him. But, having not seen the results of Piccolo's fight and being a total idiot all around, he failed. So, he began punching and kicking furiously at him hoping that this, too, would work. And, of course, it didn't.
"Is this really the best you pathetic people can do?" Refrigatom asked. "Because if it is, I really shouldn't be wasting my time here with you anymore."
"Well you haven't seen my full power yet!" Vegeta exclaimed, which, of course, he had and he was just too ashamed to admit it. So, he clenched his fists and began screaming again in order to make it look like he was getting stronger, but it's very obvious that he wasn't.
"I really don't have time for any of this," Refrigatom said and immediately sent one of his blobs out on Vegeta. And everyone else started freaking out.
"So, which one of you will be next," he said, turning to the rest of them. "How about my little green friend down there." He turned his eyes toward Piccolo but just then, there was a huge flash of light as Vegeta somehow broke out of the blob that was surrounding him.
"Interesting," Refrigatom commented as he turned around. "Apparently you're more intelligent than I thought you were, which still isn't an achievement. But I suppose I'll have to put a little effort into this now." He and Vegeta started staring at each other.
"Wow," Gohan began, "I can't believe that! He actually broke out of the blob! Do you really think he's stronger than my dad? Does that accomplishment make him..."
"No," Piccolo interrupted to save themselves some time. "I was just taken by surprise too much. Otherwise I could of done that myself." Everyone else, however, was still freaking out.
"You know," Krillin said, "I'm positive that I left the iron on!"
"Me too!" Yamcha exclaimed.
"Don't leave," Trunks replied. "It looks like we're gonna need all the help we can get against this guy after all."
In the meantime, Vegeta and Refrigatom were still staring at each other. And they stared. And they stared. And they stared.
"Are they gonna do anything?!" Chao Su suddenly exclaimed.
"Of course they are," Tien replied. "Just give them time. Something will have to happen eventually."
However, they were still staring at each other and it seemed like everyone could probably get a good nap in and not miss anything when Refrigatom finally made a move.
He began forming one of those big laser ball thingies and suddenly shot it straight into... the ground. And nothing happened.
"What was that?!" Vegeta exclaimed, beginning to laugh.
"Darn," Refrigatom said, talking to himself out loud. "I must have miscalculated. Oh well, I'm sure can destroy you another way!" They started staring at each other again for a while and the tension was so thick you could cut it with a bowling ball when Refrigatom suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?!" everybody else exclaimed as they started freaking out.
"That chicken!" Vegeta commented. "He must have finally figured out that he was too weak to take me on and ran off!" Just then, they heard someone coming up behind them.
