Gohan blinked looking up curiously from the dragon balls in front of them when he felt a power tickle at his senses and beamed "its Dende!" he exclaimed happily. Both Akane and Chichi blinked as he and Ranko giggled hopping up and ran to the small form that landed near them.
Krillin smiled when they looked at him questioningly "Dendes a namek, he took us to see their father Guru." he said calmly. They nodded watching as the two children brought their friend over to meet them "mommy! This is Dende!" Ranko said proudly standing the small boy before them. Akane smiled taking the hand he held up to her looking bashful "its nice to meet you Dende, I'm glad the kids had a friend while they were here."
He blinked wide eyed nodding "yes maam! I took them to see father and he woke up a great power in them!" he said happily. Both of them beamed at him "we thankyou dear." Chichi said warmly. Akane cleared her throat "Dende, do you know how to activate the dragon balls? We really want to wish our friend Piccolo back to life. Did the kids tell you? He's a namek too." she said looking pleading.
He nodded looking wide eyed "father told me how to activate them! Want to do that now?" he asked. She nodded smiling warmly "yes, thankyou dear, Ranma and Goku are recovering from fighting a bad man so we need Piccolo." she said, rolling her eyes on the inside, that freak Genyu had stolen Ranmas body and used it to attack them, then tried to take Gokus body and Ranma jumped in the way, so Ranma got his body back.
Then he tricked Goku and they had to fight Gokus body for a while, then he tried to take over Vegeta when Gokus body started failing him and Goku got his back. Vegeta ended the hop scotch game when he tossed a frog in the way trapping Genyu. So they were waiting for Ranma to heal enough to come out of the regeneration tank, Vegeta and Goku was sleeping off their tiredness.
Dende nodded smiling "want to do it here?" he asked wanting to please them. Both smiled at him then blinked thinking about it "lets do it over there." Chichi said pointing at a small island not far away from them. He nodded smiling and floated into the air. Ranko and Gohan beamed running over and grabbed a ball and flew off. The others shrugged doing the same.
Ranko beamed standing right next to Dende as he prepared the balls "the dragon balls have a password see, you have to know the dragons name to call him." he said smiling. Akane nodded smiling as he turned back to them. "Lets hope Piccolo can help here." Chichi murmured. Akane nodded "I don't see why not. Once we wish Piccolo back to life we take off, Ranma doesn't want us fighting this Frieza guy."
Chichi frowned "you stand there and tell me you can leave that little boy here to face Frieza by himself and we're not friends anymore Saotome Akane!" Akane blinked in surprise "the Nameks!" she exclaimed looking wide eyed. She nodded crossing her arms "we can't abandon them."
Both of them opened their eyes and gasped in shock stepping back as the dragon suddenly exsploded out of the dragon balls launching skyward. They all gapped looking up at the huge thing as it peered down at them, idlly flexing its huge hands "three wishes do I grant, make your first one." it growled. Dende looked at them "what should the first wish be?" he asked.
They blinked "he grants more then one?!" Krillin exclaimed. He nodded "he grants three." he explained. They looked pleased "tell him we want Piccolo wished back to life." He nodded turning back to the dragon and told him their wish. Akane jumped a little feeling a touch at her mind and grabbed chichis arm "Akane can you hear me?"
She blinked looking wide eyed at Chichi as she recognized the voice "King Kai?" she asked surprised. He beamed nodding "yes my child. Since Ranma is too unconscious to hear my voice I have desided to tell you. Your wish worked, Piccolo is alive again." She beamed at Chichi "King Kai says Piccolos alive."
King Kai cleared his throat "he's alive, but you need to wish Piccolo to Namek or he won't be able to do any good." Akane blinked looking surprised and nodded looking at Dende "tell the dragon we wish Piccolo was on Namek right now."
King Kai nodded pleased turning to the right and twitched his antenna
"Kami. Can you hear me Kami?" he called curiously. Kami looked up
from Mr Popos exstatic greetings to stare ahead of him "I can hear you
King Kai, what can I do for you?" he asked smiling happily. King Kai smiled
"I have a favor to ask you."
Goku blinked snapping awake hearing the ship rumble and looked around confused for a second. He looked into the regin tank seeing Ranmas brow twitching slightly and looked up in shock feeling a flair of energy appear in his senses. He hurried to the window and looked out at the sky.
He gasped seeing a flash of light coming from a distance away and darted from the room grabbing the armor peice he was wearing, he had grudgingly agreed to wear the thing since his gi had been destroyed. He jumped into the air after dropping out a hole in the side of Friezas ship, boosted off heading for the direction he could feel the battle coming from.
Akane looked up from glaring balefully at the monster standing before them cackling to look at the flash of light that was heading for them. She grabbed Chichis arm and she nodded seeing Piccolo flinch. Things weren't looking good for them, this bastard Frieza had appeared right when the dragon had disappeared after answering their second wish and had hated them from the start.
Vegeta had appeared and they had been yelling at each other for almost ten minutes when Piccolo appeared adding his new powers towards the effort. Piccolo snarled launching himself back at Frieza seeing Vegeta fall and traded attacks until Frieza landed a blow solid enough to break Piccolos flickering attacks and mercilessly pounded him into the ground.
Frieza sneered whipping about and fired a small beam of energy at Vegeta who had tried to lunge at him from behind. He looked shocked standing still and Frieza laughed "stupid fool, you don't have the power to back up you boast about being a super saiyjin." he sneered watching him fall to his knees.
Everyone glared hatred at the monster as he turned back to them "now then, I was going to kill you all before we were so rudely interrupted." he sneered. Akane pulled Ranko behind her glaring feircely at Frieza "your not coming near our children!!" she bellowed lunging at him. Frieza sneered raising his hand entending to pluck the stupid monkey out of the air.
Akane arrived and batted his weak attempt to grab her aside and made him pay for attacking them for a few minutes. Akane dove back away from him when he fired a blast at her blindly trying to get away. Frieza snarled at her enraged as he wiped at the blood that was running freely down his lip "you fucking monkey!!" he roared charging after her.
Chichi darted in from the side and smashed him into the side of a hill smashing it to peices. Akane smirked slapping hands with her as they came back together in front of the kids, Piccolo was gapping at them in shock as Ranko and Gohan clung to them happily "didn't we tell you Dende?! Our mommies are the best!" Ranko said beaming at the gapping child. He nodded looking at Piccolo and he shrugged looking like he was dreaming.
Krillin glared looking around before jumping over to the smoking hole suspiciously "hey guys! He's gone!" he shouted in warning. Everyone glared dropping into a fighting stance as the ground started shaking and shouted in warning as he burst out of the ground behind them snarling.
Before they could react he pounded Ranko, who he had burst out of the ground behind, into Akane as hard as he could. Both of them cried out in pain as they were slammed off their feet and sent flying. Piccolo and Chichi roared lunging at him, but Frieza had chosen his next victims.
Akane jumped to her feet yanking Ranko behind her and screamed in agony as pain exsploded through her middle. Frieza sneered at the woman doubled over his fist before smashing her into the ground as hard as he could.
He sneered at Chichi who was frozen in shock as he pounded Piccolo away from him "whats wrong bitch?! Scared?!" he laughed wrenching Akane back up by her hair and slammed his fist into her stomach five times before jerking his head around hearing someone bellow enraged.
He whipped around and flung Akane at Vegeta who had somehow regained his feet. He sneered reaching down to grab Ranko who was still out when something slammed into him harder then the others had managed to yet.
Goku bellowed angrily continuing to beat Frieza even after he was on the ground, not letting up at all as his rage made golden flickers of light flash around him. Everyone watched in shock as Gokus savage attack ended when Frieza detonated a huge blast between them.
Goku snarled catching himself against a rock in front of Ranko and snapped her up backing away. He handed her to Chichi still snarling at his enemy. He looked about and launched himself back at him seeing Vegeta checking a bleeding Akane over, although he couldn't tell, Vegeta was bleeding as badly as Akane was.
He arrived and slammed his fist into his head so hard Frieza was slammed into the ground hard enough to shake them all. He backed away from him seeing how weakly he was trying to overcome the attack and hurried over to Akane "why is she bleeding so heavily?!" Vegeta demanded paniced not understanding it.
Goku gently placed his palm on her belly and gasped softly "oh god no!" he gently picked her up and ran her over to Chichi "get her back to the ship! The baby's almost dead!" he shouted paniced. She eeped taking her from him and blasted off into the air.
Vegeta looked wide eyed at him and grabbed his shirt "you brought a pregnant woman into a battle?!?" he shouted angrily. Goku glared at him darkly until he let him go. He grabbed his arm and pulling him over to the others uncaring of his protests.
He set him down and nelt by Dende and Gohan who were sniffling over Ranko "how is she?" he asked softly. Gohan shook his head "I don't know dad! I can't wake her!" he sobbed. Goku soothed him gently before feeling for a pulse. He sighed slightly and gently started feeling for broken bones.
All of them jumped when she came awake with a screech when he started pressing gently against her ribs. He looked at Gohan and Dende "take Ranko and Vegeta back to Bulma, when the others get back we'll defeat Freiza and leave." he bit out looking at them not even allowing for refusal.
He looked at Piccolo when they had left, even Vegeta had let Krillin help him into the air. Piccolo nodded looking deeply angry "do you think she'll lose the child?" he snarled softly. He nodded looking even grimmer "theres little chance it'll live through that, I shutter to think about what Ranma will do."
He blinked at him "how bad could it be?" he asked softly. Goku looked
at him grimly "you didn't see what Ranma did to napa." They looked
back at Frieza seeing that he had finally regained his feet and was glaring
at them "you think you've beaten me?! Hah!! Try fighting me in my true
form!!!"
King Kai shook his head looking grief stricken "no, that poor child! I warned them! I told them not to fight him!" Yamcha and Tein looked at each other before looking back at him "whats up King Kai?" they asked worriedly. He looked at them "Akane attacked Frieza, I warned them! I said not to attack him!" he looked down "Akanes going to lose her baby because Frieza hurt her, badly."
Both of them looked horrified "a- Akane was pregnant?! And she attacked him!?" Tein gasped in horror. He nodded looking down, then looked up feeling Kami touching his mind "King Kai, are you there? We've finished collecting the dragon balls like you asked." he called. He perked up at that and beamed "good Kami! Now listen, things are horrible on Namek and you need to do as I say."
Kami blinked in surprise "oh dear, is everyone alright King Kai?" he asked worriedly. King Kai shook his head "no I'm afraid not Kami. Akane and Chichi both got pregnant on the way to Namek.... Akanes been hurt bad, the babys not going to survive, they can't get help to her in time."
Kami stood strait in horror "oh lord that is horrible! Is she alright?!
Wheres Ranma!?" he demanded covering his mouth. King Kai looked down "Ranma
was hurt badly in a battle with one of Friezas henchmen, he couldn't help
them and Goku woke up too late to help." he jerked up strait gapping in
horror "oh lord no! Friezas activated his ultimate power!"
Bulma looked up frantically as the world started shaking and screeched when the door opened to admit krillin and Gohan, each of them holding up a wounded saiyjin. She gapped at them as Krillin helped Vegeta down the hall "uh, guys?! Why are you bringing Vegeta into the ship?!" she shouted hurrying after them.
Krillin ignored her as he pushed Vegeta back into one of the examining chairs and hurriedly helped him out of his breast plate. "Whats going on?!?" Bulma shouted loudly. Vegeta snarled at her in pain as Krillin started pulling the peices of armor out of his wound "shut up woman!! Kakarot and the Namek are fighting frieza. Saotomes wife was hurt bad." he gasped ripping the arms off his chair.
Krillin nodded "Akanes going to loose her baby." he said grimly seeing her shocked face. She paled deeply hurrying over to Chichi who was putting Ranko into a bed after laying a still bleeding Akane into the operating table "Bulma help her!" she snapped making sure Ranko wasn't feeling the pain anymore and hurried over to Bulma who was trying to strip a crying Akane, she had woken up and was in a lot of pain.
Chichi looked at Bulma almost in tears as Akane slumped to the table
from the painkiller she gave her. They both hurried to get the medical
equipment ready.
Goku grunted softly continuing to pound Frieza as they traded stunning blows, Piccolo was down, probably for the rest of the fight, Goku was slowly building into a rage as he fought, his punches getting more powerful as he thought about his friend and his wife, all the things they had done for him, and his rage grew along side his power.
Frieza roared lunging into the air having had enough and started gathering a great deal of energy to throw at Goku who looked like he was barely winded, the flickering light flashing around him starting to solidify into a golden hase.
Frieza sneered seeing how mad he was "once I kill you, I'll do the same to your wife! The other one looked nice covered in her own childs blood!" he cackled evilly, intending to enrage him enough to make him sloppy.
Goku tensed up feeling his rage beat at a quickly weakening barrier and roared into the heavens exsploding in a huge golden fireball. Frieza flinched back in shock seeing it and fired his mega blast right at the raging saiyjin.
Goku looked up as the red hase started to clear and roared pounding
his fist into the blast as it struck. Frieza raised his hand as the light
brightened past tolerable levels and the world rocked from the exsplosion.

Authors rant!!
i'm back! i'm sorry about the time its taken me to get this out, inconveniences are starting to pile up one on top of each other for some reason. i'm not going to bore you with my own little gripes so i'm just going to say that, hopefully, i will be getting the next chapter proofed and out to you soon. i apologize for the lack of... well... anything on my part, i should have at least the prologue for my new story, i'm stuck between calling it Reign of Fire or Reign of Man. drop me a line and tell me what you think. it is loosely based on the concept of the movie, which i got a chance to watch a few weeks ago, but is not exactly the same..... i still haven't come up with something really evil enough and the dragons from the movie just don't seem like they are evil enough or powerful enough to suit my needs. when i do figure it out, you can be sure they will make those wimps look like.... well.... wimps. what ever, heres the next chapter of AS. oh and, if you haven't realized after finding and reading enough of these fanfiction in order to find and read mine, i obviously do not own Ranma 1/2 of Dragonball Z and i doubt i ever will own them so please use the brain god MIGHT have given you and realize that.
for all of you loyal readers, Ja Ne! seeya next chapter!
