AN- Well, I'm happy everyone is liking this stuff. And yea, even though I use the American names for the characters (I'm not quite sure why... it's just how I've laways refered to them I guess.), I will continue to use as much as I can from the original stuff (Move names, events, power levels when people first are shown,...etc.). Anyhow, I won't bore you with anymore stuff. Enjoy!
Goku managed to wake his brother after a good ten mintues of shaking and yelling. His best friends Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien had managed to defeat the overly powerful Sayian by working together as a team, and yes, by exploiting the poor bastard's only weakness. Raditz sat up and gave a weak smile.
"You choose your allies very well, Kakarot. I'm amazed they managed to defeat me with such miniscule power ratings. If properly trained, I believe they could be key in defeating Frieza."
Krillin beamed with satisfaction. An ultra powerful alien is saying that, about me! Boy, I've sure moved up in the world... if only Muten Roshi could see me now. It's a shame he's away at that "entertainment convention"... He shook his head free of any disturbing thoughts involving his master and jumped back into the conversation.
"So, uh, Raditz... when are we leaving on this mission?"
Raditz nodded. "I'm glad you asked. We will leave for Frieza Planet # 79 immediatlly."
Tien gave Raditz a bewildered look. "Frieza Planet? I thought you said he was the villian?"
Raditz hung his head. "Now you come to the irony of the situation. Without a race of followers, Vegeta is merely a prince in name only. Frieza has basically enslaved him, and he sits, biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike."
Goku looked like he was ready to burst into tears. "That's terrible! How does he stand it? If it were me, I would just train until I was strong enough to beat him!"
"That's what he is doing. Planet #79 was Frieza's way of taking another stab at Vegeta. He told him if he wanted to be a prince so bad, he would need a planet. And so he gave him one."
Yamcha shrugged his shoulders. "If someone gave me a planet, I'd be happy as hell. I don't see what this Vegeta's problem is."
Raditz struggled for a way to explain. "You see, Frieza Planet #79 is the equivelent of what you humans would refer to as...." At this point, his eyepiece began listing off strange words, obviously translating something to it's owner. Finally, he saw what he was looking for. "Ah, yes... it is what you would call... a gas.. station."
Krillin stared dumbly at Raditz a few moments before bursting out in laughter. "This mighty prince is the prince of a gas station?!"
Yamcha and Goku joined in, imagining a big prince with a tail, an angry glare, regal features, and above all, overalls and a hat with a name tag that said "Vegeta". (C'mon, you guys at home try it too. It really is as funny as it sounds. Just picture him. And the look he would have on his face. "I am the Prince of all gas stations!")
Raditz gave them a stern glare. "Well, Prince Vegeta doesn't find it quite as amusing as you gentlemen do. But that is unimportant. We leave now. Follow me." They all went to take off, when a whiney voice rang out from in the house.
"Hey, dad!.... where are ya going? Can I come? Dad? Dad?"
They all turned around as Gohan came waddling out of the Kame House, his vision obscured by one of Roshi's magazines that had fallen over his face. Goku jumped up and snatched it off of his sons head. Gohan gave one or two grabs to try to get it back, shrugged, and began tugging on his father's leg. "So where are we goin, huh dad? huh huh huh?"
Goku looked at his friends. "That's right, guys. I have to get Gohan home. And I have to ask Chi Chi if I can go."
Krillin rolled his eyes. "Goku, this is the first time she's let you out to visit your childhood friends in over five years! What makes you think she's gonna let you go out into space for who knows how long?"
Goku hung his head. "He's right. Chi Chi won't let me go... what are we gonna do now?"
Suddenly a terrible grin spread across Tien's face. "I have a perfect solution..."
"WHAT?! You mean I hafta take this kid to Goku's wife, and then explain that he went off into space to fight aliens?"
Goku nodded. "Do you need me to get Krillin to write that down for you, Chaozu?"
Chaozu shook his head, praying he would wake up, and this would all have been a bad dream. When he finished, however, Goku and Tien were still towering over him, expecting him to do all the hard work... After all, they were only going off to fight super powered aliens... He would have to deal with a super powered wife.... He shuddered. He decided to try a different approach. "But... but Tien, what about Launch? She'll miss you!"
Tien's head shot up in panic. "That's right!" He turned to Raditz. "Can we leave like right now?"
Choazu slapped his forehead. "She's gonna shoot me..." he muttered to himself. He decided to play the sarcasm card. "So all I have to do is deliver this kid, tell Chi Chi Goku will be gone indefinetly, and tell Launch her male fantasy is running away on a space ship?"
Yamcha shook his head. "You also have to tell Bulma that I'm going too."
Choazu gave up. "Goodie. They can all throw a party and kill me together..."
Yamcha shook his head. "Nah. Bulma'll probably give you money if you tell her I'm gone..."
Krillin made a mental note to ask him about that on the trip.
Once again, Choazu made an attempt to save his bacon. "Look, Goku, I really don't think this is a good idea...."
Tien waved, both he and Goku ignoring his plea. "We'll return home as soon as we can, Choazu! The world is in your hands till we get back!" And with that, Earth's Special Forces, the Z Senchi, flew off to parts unknown. Choazu kicked at the dirt, grumbling over his bad fortune. He was a psychic! Shouldn't he be able to see these things coming? "Well, I can definelty see what's next in my future... and it's a frying pan... Could this day get any worse?"
Someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around. "I'm gonna be an orthapedist..." Gohan stated proudly. Choazu just sighed. "Shut up, kid..."
AN- Yea, so there wasn't much action this chapter. Sue me. It's a little thing called plot development. I couldn't think of any sort of action I could fit in this scene. And yes, Friezza Planet #79 is the name of the planet Vegeta recovers at inbetween his fight with Goku and his trip to Namek. And yes, it's in the manga. I double checked. It might have been bigger in the manga, but in my story for humility purposes, think of it about as big as like four city blocks in a square fashion. (2X2) It is merely there as a check-in point for Frieza's troops to heal and refuel, hence the gas station bit. Heh. Anyhows, let me know if you liked this chapter or not, as the next few chapters will be very dialouge and development oriented as well, and I need to know if you guys are enjoying it. Well, catch ya later!
