Chapter twenty-five - The Good, The Bad, and the Abducted
Yajirobe folded his arms as he stared at the white cat named Korin. "Are they ready yet?" he huffed. He didn't come all the way out here, during his breakfast time at that, to find out that the beans weren't ready yet. He'd been standing there almost two hours now waiting for Korin to say the beans were ready.
"This kind of thing takes time Yajirobe, but here." he tossed Yajirobe a bag. "Tell Goku and Bardock to take two of those, they're not fully developed yet and at only half strength."
"Bout time!" Yajirobe grunted turning around. "At this rate I'm going to miss lunch all together... though I should be just in time for brunch if I hurry."
"Then get going already."
"Hmph. Well, the Bean Daddy is on his way."
Yajirobe walked over and hopped into his waiting air car. Korin watched him go. "What exactly is a Bean Daddy?" he wondered. Sighing he turned around. "I hope whatever he's got isn't contagious."

Toma watched as Planet Vegeta receded into the distance. He was highly excited about this mission. He glanced from his captains chair at the three other Sai-jins he'd selected to land on Earth with him. Tangerie, his mate who he always took with him. Raditz, who was happy to finally be away from his 'desk job' again since he'd not made any new progress in months. And finally, Mango, Raditz's mate and Tangerie's sister who he'd just met recently.
A lot of people were rather shocked at the pairing, Mango was a second class elite with a power of just over eighty thousand. Such pairings were rather uncommon. Though, with the respect and prominence Raditz's family had gained over the past year it was understandable. And, of course, Raditz was the only Sai-jin who could say he saved both the King and the Prince.
Toma reached up and activated his scouter for a moment, quickly taking inventory of the powers aboard his ship. He was at a power level of 4,201 himself. Not much compared to some of his companions. Raditz's power had climbed to 8,794. Tangerie's power was at 4,983. She was one of those rare cases where it was hard to gain in power. And of course, the most powerful of the group, Mango. She was currently resting at only 15,000 but her maximum was recorded on his scouter and displayed as 80,052.
He clicked off the scouter once more. This group hadn't been selected for power, this wasn't a fighting mission. Raditz, like his father, was good at explaining situations and dealing with idiotic politicians. Tangerie was extremely persuasive when she wanted to be, and her incredible looks more than helped with that. Mango was along as a sort of 'show and tell'. She could demonstrate the kind of powers the universe held and the kind of threat they posed to a race as weak as most Humans.
With any luck Bardock would be able to lend them a hand when the first arrived at Earth. First contact's like this, with races that hadn't ventured very far into space, were sometimes rocky. There were documented cases of riots nearly destroying entire civilizations simply because of first contact with aliens. Even the Cold family didn't simply attack a planet for no reason, they occupied, demanded control, and then attacked if they needed to.

Vegeta turned from where he'd laid the still sleeping Bulma and walked to the controls of his saucer ship. He'd watched Toma's 'Embassy ship' saucer launch a moment ago. He wasn't sure where it was going and didn't really care. Once the ship was far enough out he engaged the auto pilot. Getting up he turned to look at Bulma.
"Still don't know your name." he muttered picking her up. "Well, guess I'll have to wait until you wake up." He started making his way back through the hall to the room she would be using for the trip, almost three weeks, he'd beat the others by a day. As he lowered her onto the bed a sudden ear splitting scream tore through the room. "Owww, god woman, your louder than I am!" Vegeta cried dropping her onto the bed with a soft thud as he covered his ears.
Bulma wrapped her arms across her body as though trying to hold herself together. "You... you... PERVERT!" she shouted.
"What?" Vegeta asked before it dawned on him. His face paled first, then went a slight shade of green. "How dare you even suggest... I am Prince Vegeta! You... you're nothing but a common woman! Not even a Sai-jin!"
"Prince Pervert's more like it!" Bulma screamed. "Don't deny it! I caught you in the act!"
"I would never even think of touching you! That's disgusting!"
Now Bulma was turning a bright red and steam was practically coming from her ears. Before she just upset, now she was angry. "Disgusting! Disgusting! First you try and do Kami-knows-what to me, and now you call me disgusting! All of a sudden I'm not good enough for mister high and might Prince Pervert?!"
"I am not a pervert!"
"Then what are you doing in my room, huh?" she demanded. "Bet you don't have an answer for that! Thought so."
"First of all, this isn't your room." Vegeta said trying to calm his nerves and temper. /This woman's a lunatic! I think I'd rather be fighting Frieza!/ "Second of all, I'm in here because I was going to let you rest!"
Bulma looked around her for the first time. Sure enough, it wasn't her room at the palace. "Wha... what? Where am I?"
"A guest room on my ship."
"Your ship! You... your kidnapping me! You are a pervert!"
"Quit saying that! I'm NOT a pervert!" Vegeta roared, his aura flaring for a split second. This scared Bulma enough she shut up. "We're on our way to Namek, you're going to help me find the Dragonballs so I can make a wish."
"A... a wish? What kind of wish? Why kidnap me? We were going to Namek anyway..."
Vegeta sighed and plopped down in a chair across from the bed Bulma was sitting on. "I am the son of King Vegeta. It is my destiny to carry on the royal blood line, to protect my people. But Frieza, his father, even his weakling brother Cooler is stronger than I am!" Vegeta clenched his fists as he talked, his voice growing steadily louder. "It's my destiny to become a Super Sai-jin and defeat Frieza and his family, I know it is!"
******
Just over two hours after getting the Senzu Beans off of Korin Yajirobe stepped into the hospital room where Goku and Bardock were still recovering. The doctor was currently talking to them. "So, it will still be another three months before we can take you out of these things, at least six months before we can release you..." He stopped as Goku grinned at Yajirobe.
"Sorry I took so long, here you go!" Yajirobe tossed two abnormally small beans to each warrior. "They weren't quite ready so it'll take two to recover completely."
"Thanks Yajirobe!" Goku cheered popping in both Beans and swallowing. Bardock soon followed suit. Both warriors felt the sudden surge of energy coarse through they're body. They're bones healed and their powers soared. Goku reached out of the iron lung he was in and pulled himself out into a hand stand followed by a few quick, vertical, push-ups. "I feel amazing! My power's gone up a lot too!"
Bardock pulled himself out of his iron lung as well and stretched. "Those things work wonders! We should really take some with us to Namek, they'll come in handy against the Ginyu Force." Yajirobe handed over the bag to Goku and the two Sai-jins bolted out of the window of the hospital and headed for Capsule Corp. They'd check in there first, and then head off to train.

Hotaru rolled over and slammed her hand down on the alarm clock by her bedside. For once she didn't smash it. She always did that back home, but here they were designed to withstand people much stronger than her. Sighing she sat up and glanced at the time. Five in the morning. God, she hated getting up this early. Granted, it was probably middle of the day on Earth, and about eight or so at night back home, but traveling through space was boring and often caused your schedules to shift.
She climbed out of bed tossing the covers aside and pulled on a change of clothes, a black GI identical to the one she'd worn during the tournament on Earth. However, she added a new touch this time. A reddish-orange bandana under her silver hair, a piece of fabric torn from Yamcha's GI after the battle had ended. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought back to that battle. The others had asked her what had happened, who her power had spiked so much, but she'd not told them yet.
She'd lost herself in her anger then and finally tapped into that hidden power she had. Her mother had attained it, first in over a century. Thousands of years ago the Tanarian race had been quite different. They'd been far more powerful then but that had changed. There'd been a wizard by the name of Bibidi who'd come to their world to destroy it bringing some pink... thing... with him.
The Tanarian people nearly destroyed his creature and he fled in fear, sealing the creature up and sending it to some unknown world. Before he left he cast a spell on the Tanarians to seal their powers. First their power was cut in half, then by four, then eight fold, and finally sixteen fold. Four transformations in total, four false forms for the Tanarians, four false powers. That was the Tanarian legend, like the Sai-jin's legend of the Super Sai-jin. Only the Tanarians had multiple forms of proof. First was the video recordings of that battle thousands of years ago, and of the transformations that had weakened the Tanarian people. Second was Hotaru's mother Sora.
Her mother's base power was around 45,000 last she heard. She'd attained the first level transformation years ago, a sixteen fold increase in power. That put her at about 720,000. Of course, that was over a year ago now. Hotaru sighed as she looked at her hands. She'd almost attained that power back on Earth but couldn't fully break the magic seal.
Hotaru grabbed the scouter that rested on the dresser and activated it to get a power reading of her self and do some quick math. "10,482" she said softly. "That would put me over 167,000 after the first transformation... 1,336,000 after the second... 5,344,000 after the third... and finally, in our true form, the form that the Tanarian people were meant to have, 10,688,000." She shook her head slowly. "I could stop Frieza on my own like that, avenge my people. Well, no sense on dwelling on the impossible. So few have ever transformed and no one's ever made it passed the first level transformation before..."
She turned toward the door. The only thing left to do now was go to Namek and revive Yamcha and the others. She wasn't sure what she'd do after that. Stay on Earth for a while, or just go home? And would Yamcha come with her? She sighed again opening the door and stepping into the hall. Gohan and Krillin were already standing there.
"Bulma's missing." Krillin said matter-of-factly. "King Vegeta thinks that Prince Vegeta took her and went to Namek on his own. And it gets worse. Apparently something called the Ginyu Force is on it's way there too."
Hotaru froze. "Ginyu Force..." she breathed. They were the ones who nearly destroyed her people. Maybe she could get a little revenge after all.
"Yeah." Gohan said nodding. "It'll take us three weeks to get to Namek, and four weeks for Ginyu to get there. Dad and Bardock will just be leaving the Earth then."
"Yeah, but Dr. Briefs is remodeling Bardock's ship and making it faster. Still, we'll be on our own for a little while." Hotaru nodded and the small group made it's way to the hanger bay to ready for launch. It would only take another hour and then they'd be off.
******
Ginyu slipped into his pod and leaned back. A voice rang out through the launch bay. "All preparations are now complete. Commencing with Ginyu Force Launch in ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." Guldo gripped his arm rests. He hated launches, they always shoved his food back up his throat. "Three, two, one, and Launch!" The five catapults clicked and flung forward propelling the pods into the atmosphere of Planet Frieza. Once up a hundred feet the engines kicked in enveloping them in blue flame and sped into space.
"So, Captain, how long until Namek?" Jiece asked.
"A month, we're closer than the Sai-jins but we need to go around Black Nebula, that collection of black holes sits between us and the Planet, that's why we've never sent anyone there before."
"Any idea on opposition?" Guldo asked. As the weakest member at just under fifty thousand he was always worried about opposition while the others had never met anyone in battle that they couldn't beat.
"The last scan of the planet was about five years ago." Ginyu replied. "Average power is about five thousand, highest reading was at thirty thousand. Nothing for us to worry about, not even you Guldo."
This didn't ease Guldo's worries much though. The data was five years old, powers can increase in five years.
******
Frieza sat with his head resting in his hand. He hated these boring meetings. Some low level soldier was going over all the known powers in the galaxy, the untouched planets that were worth going to, and laying out the details of the Empire. This always bored him to no end.
He glanced over at his brother and father, both sat up straight listening attentively to the droning soldier. /Ugh, how can they stand this?/
"Frieza." King Cold's voice snapped his youngest son out of his thoughts.
"Yes father?"
"You should be paying attention, you just missed information that you could use."
Frieza's eye ridge perked up. He looked back at the soldier who then repeated what he'd just said. "The average Sai-jin power level has climbed over the last five years to a new record high of 52,000 from the previous 46,000. The level before that was only 43,000. At this current rate the Sai-jin average will be 75,000 within five years, 120,000 within ten years, and over 300,000 within thirty years."
Frieza growled. He hated the Sai-jins. They kept getting stronger and stronger. He would just blow up their planet save for the fact that it wouldn't kill them all. Sai-jins could survive in space for an unknown amount of time. Not as long as he could, at least, he didn't think so.
"The good news is that King Vegeta's power level has continued to hold stable at around 10.5 million. Prince Vegeta's power level, over the last five years, has gone from 302,512 to just about 800,000. There's also indication that he's left planet Vegeta recently. His course seems to be a direct route to Planet Namek."
"Namek?" Cooler said smirking. "That's your territory isn't it Frieza?" He chuckled.
Frieza tossed a glare at his brother. "Don't worry about Vegeta." he said coldly. "The Ginyu Force is already destined for Namek, they'll handle him."
"Ginyu?" Cold scoffed. "His power's only around 500,000. He's no match for the Sai-jin Prince any longer."
Frieza smiled. "Try closer to a million." He watched the look on Cooler's face and grinned. His brother's position was being threatened yet again. Not only were Frieza and Cold stronger, but so was King Vegeta and the King's personal guard Pug. However, the look was short lived and Cooler's typical smirk was back again. He said nothing which irked Frieza even more than these meetings.
Yajirobe folded his arms as he stared at the white cat named Korin. "Are they ready yet?" he huffed.
