Chapter Five - The Past
Appla just managed to block a punch from Angira but his kick smacked into her side. She flipped around in the air and braced her body. "Kaio Ken times 30!" Her aura flared brighter and she shot at Angira again. The alien dodged to the right just avoiding the kick. Appla moved around behind him and kicked Angira in the back of the head causing him to stumble forward.
He turned around to punch her but met with her foot hitting his face. Before he could recover she moved in again and punched him in the stomach then slammed her knee into his chin. With a cry of anger he fired a blast of energy point blank into Appla's face knocking her backward. He charged in, flipped over her head, and jammed his knee into the small of her back causing her to cry out and stumble forward.
There was a loud crack as Angira reached out a hand to his right and caught a punch from Gohan. He turned and glared at the small warrior before turning and pitching him away. Gohan stopped a few feet above the ground, his purple/orange aura flaring to life as his power jumped skyward. "You leave my grandma alone!" he cried charging in again. Angira frowned and went to punch him but he suddenly vanished.
He his eyes widened and he turned to look behind him. Gohan slammed his foot into Angira's face knocking him off his feet. He followed after him and slammed a small fist into Angira's stomach knocking him down into the ground. Angira's knee shot up and slammed into the kids stomach. Gohan's eyes widened in pain and shock. A second later Angira's fist lanced up and smashed into Gohan's face knocking him skyward. As he stood Gohan fell to the ground a few feet away unconscious.
Grinning he turned to resume his fight with Appla but instead found Piccolo's outstretched arm inches from his face. Before he could react orange/purple energy tore forth from his arm and engulfed the Alien incinerating the upper-half of his body.

Lord Slug watched as the child began his attack on Kamandur. Just as the large man zipped past Angira a loud beeping sounded within Slug's command room, incessant and annoying, much like it's cause. Slug reached down a hand and flipped a switch, the holo screen of the battle split. The fight took the right side and an angry face with sharp gold eyes filled the left side. "Slug!" the man cried. "What the hell are you doing on Earth?!"
The old Namek grumbled to himself as he stared at the face on the screen. "What do you think I'm doing here M..."
The other man growled. "I dare you to finish that!"
Slug growled as well, agitated. "This planet's full of resources that we can use. You know how much it takes to feed the trees."
"I told you to stay away from Earth. Period. End. Of. Discussion."
"And I told you I don't follow your orders. I don't care if you are hundred times stronger than me, as you claim."
The gold eyes raged in fury as they glared across the universe at the strongest of the Nameks. Suddenly he turned to look to his side. "Razor, talk some sense into the Namek, he's your doing after all!" With that the golden eyed man moved off screen to be replaced by a man with dark green hair.
"Razor." Slug growled.
"You will leave that planet at once." Razor said calmly. "I did not give you your power so you could screw up our plans."
"Maybe if you told me everything..." Slug stopped as the green haired man suddenly flashed pink, his entire body turning to pure energy for a moment. "It's impossible to leave for another fifty hours anyway, that Changeling engine you gave me is a piece of junk."
"Then once you can leave, do it." Razor said, the screen returning to a full view of the ongoing fight outside the ship, Appla just stepping up to fight Doro.
Slug's hand tightened on the glass on his hand. Slowly it began to crack, and then a moment later, it shattered splashing the water everywhere. /Those... ugh! I can't believe I ever agreed to work with them!/

Namek, unknown number of years ago:
Slug dodged to the right as a stream of green energy sped past him to crash into a distant mountain. Grinning he turned to face his opponent again and launched in at him. His fist lanced out for the other Namek's face but an arm came up and blocked his attack. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a foot aimed for his head and ducked down quickly. As he came up a moment later he drove his fist into the others stomach lifting him off the blue grass covered ground.
Suddenly a foot came flying in and smashed into the side of his head knocking him away and down. He climbed to his feet still smiling and began removing the heavy garments he wore. The other Namek smirked and did the same. Cheers rose up around them from the gathered Namek spectators. The up and coming young Slug and Zildar, five years his elder, were the two most powerful Nameks alive and always gathered a crowd when the sparred.
The weights tossed aside the two slid into their fighting stances yet again. They launched across the expanse of open terrain ready to resume their training when suddenly they froze in place, the first to sense the nearing powers. Landing they turned to look south, in the direction of the coming powers. A moment later three large ships appeared in the sky, descending rapidly. One landed off to the east, another close but to the north, and the third only a few dozen yards to the west. Slug and Zildar glanced at each other, both sensing the three large powers within the ship.
A short Namek ran up to Slug and gripped on to his pant leg. Slug looked down and smiled at the young Namek, his twelve year old son Sanil. "Go with elder Guru Sanil, Zildar and I will see what's going on." The young Namek looked up at him worriedly. "Hey, we're the strongest of our people." he said resting a hand on Sanil's head. "We can handle this, don't worry." The young Sanil smiled and nodded before turning around and joining the other Nameks again.
Slug and Zildar floated into the air, several of the other Warrior Nameks joining them, and they took off for the nearest of the ships and the source of the three powers. As they landed and lowered their powers the ship opened up and dozens of soldiers of various races in armors began to file out and fill the open expanse between the ship and the Warrior Nameks.
"Who are you and what are you doing on Namek?" Zildar asked cautiously. Slug stood on his right and Sargo, the third strongest Namek on his left.
One of the soldiers reached up pressed a button on a device over his eye. It began to beep as symbols danced across it's glass surface. A second later it stopped and he raised an eyebrow smirking. "They're all at five hundred." The other soldiers laughed.
"I'll ask you one last time, why are you here?"
"We come in the name of the great King Frigid, future ruler of the universe." the same soldier said. "You're planet is now a part of the Frigid Empire, you will obey or be destroyed."
"HA!" Sargo laughed. "I think not!" He slid into combat position, Slug and Zildar following suit. At the same instant green light flashed about each of them and the ground began to shake as they powered up.
The soldier stared into his scouter watching their powers rise. /1,000... 5,000... 10,000... What the hell!/ A moment later the scouters exploded as the three Nameks hit 25,000 but kept going a moment longer. As they relaxed and their auras calmed down the three vanished. There were several cracks and flashes of light before they re-appeared and all the soldiers were down.
The three Nameks smiled at each other for a moment then turned to look as the weakest of the three powers in the ship walked out. He was a tall and lanky blue scaled alien with glowing purple eyes. "Now you fight Odus, strongest of King Frigid's soldiers. Pre-pare to die!"

Earth, present:
Slug looked up startled and looked to his side. Sanil stood there looking at him a bit worried. "Are you okay father?" he asked.
"Yes, yes. I'm fine." Slug said. "Just... lost in the past, that's all. What's happened?"
"Angira has lost."
"They're that strong then?"
"I figure the strongest of them is about half my power."
Slug nodded slowly. "Then you can deal with them on your own?"
"I'll handle it." Sanil said turning and leaving. Slug watched him go and then turned back to look at the holo screen but didn't really see it as his eyes looked back into the past once more.
Appla just managed to block a punch from Angira but his kick smacked into her side. She flipped around in the air and braced her body. "Kaio Ken times 30!"
