Dragon Ball Z: The Catalyst
Act II:
Chapter 15: The Nameks
Unknown Location:
"Do we really want Turles to be immortal?" The smaller hooded figure questioned.
His master had decided this time, they would need to... directly, intervene. This was an extremely risky plan, given the chances of being discovered. However, his opinion could influence the decisions, not directly decide them. The truth of the matter was, his freedom or bondage was entirely linked to his master, as well as the fact that his master was more directly powerful.
With a smile, the significantly taller figure nodded towards his counterpart.
"Let us depart."

Planet Namek:
The sun beat down on the two figures as they stood in the open wild lands in the massive empty spaces of the Planet Namek.
"Lord Turles." Daiz said, nodding his head silently to his own master.
"We were too late in arriving to the village, Frieza and his men had already killed the lot whole colony of them, and taken the Dragon Ball."
Turles did not look in the least bit pleased, nor did he feel it.
His scouter had already told him about what was going on, everywhere Zarbon and Dodoria's energy signatures went it was glaringly obviously. They now had at least two of the Dragon Balls, and were about to progress onto a third one. So long as he held his ball, he'd be able to prevent Frieza from making a wish. Frieza would be impatient, he had no doubt.
It was then that Daiz stopped, looking up before his eyes widened.
"T-Turles, beh-"
"It is Lord Turles!" An energy bolt formed in his hand, intending to clearly punish his wayward employee.
"Forgive us for interrupting." A deep voice said from behind. Turles turned sharply, seeing two hooded figures.
One of them was very, very familiar. Turles could see the short, hooded figure standing there with a small smile on the visible part of his face. The taller one was certainly less familiar, and more intimidating by far certainly than the little imp which had shown up before.
"So, the Catalyst has returned."
"I must go shortly." The taller one said. "However, my ally, will remain to advise you on the best way to proceed in your quest for the Dragon Balls."
Turles didn't trust either of these creatures. They had been right about Frieza, in so far they had accurately informed him about the Dragon Balls and what Frieza had planned for them. But there was clearly a price to be paid.
"And what price must I pay for the assistance of this disgusting dwarf?"
A frustrated growl came from the shorter figure, closing his fist for a moment, before he calmed.
"A wish from the Eternal Dragon." The taller "Catalyst" said.
Turles gave a look of disgust. What kind of idiot did they think him? Did they think he took a blow to the head as a child or something?!
"So I am expected to collect the Dragon Balls for you? How convenient! I had completely forgotten about my desire for Eternal Life."
"Fool!" The Catalyst shot back. "The Dragon Balls on this world will offer you three wishes. You will receive 2, we will receive one."
Turles visibly calmed. He only really needed one wish. With a hardened jaw, he looked to the taller figure and just nodded.
"Very well, your subordinate creature can stay. However if you betray me." Turles said, looking to the imp. "Then I will get to end your worthless life."
The small figure almost grinned at the comment, but nodded all the same.
"So what use can you be?" Turles demanded.
"I know where Frieza is, and I know where the remaining Dragon Balls are."

Snake's Way:
A green figure blazed across the Snake's Way, his features cold as stone as he jetted across the scaled path. Behind him, hundreds of miles behind him, he knew Tien, Yamcha and Chaotzu followed. They would take days to catch up to him, but he had no time for them at all. He needed to get to King Kai's planet and begin his training immediately. He didn't know how much longer he had in this world, so he needed to make the absolute most of it. The Legendary King Kai had trained Goku, and he'd defeated the Saiyans on Earth.
For Piccolo, that was enough to warrant his full attention. Not simply because he wanted to surpass Goku, but because he'd found himself further wanting to defend the earth itself. Besides, once he was back he was hoping for a shot at Vegeta himself.
In truth, he was pushing himself, his body, and his very spirit with how fast he was taking Snake's Way as well. It'd taken Goku months to traverse this space, and it was amounting to weeks, perhaps a month for him. In the furthest distance, well beyond the horizon, he saw the world of King Kai. He could only begin to imagine the brutal training regime that awaited him there, whatever made Goku into such a powerful fighter would surely be something incredible.
With one more great effort, the Namek blasted forward, in truth the actual journey across the path itself was training Piccolo as much as he'd have trained himself. There had really only been one obstacle for him on the entire trip...

Two weeks earlier:
"I'm really not hungry." Piccolo said bluntly as he stared at the the blue skinned women all around him. He barely remembered how he got into this place even, why was he even here?
"No, no, Princess Snake insists you try some of our food-"
"I don't eat, I don't carry the trait to have dinner with you." Piccolo pointed out angrily, finally at the limit of his patience. "Now, I am leaving."
"You can't leave!" Princess Snake hissed.
The walls began to shift and warp into flesh.
"You can never escape me!" The snake's voice hissed with amusement, before chuckling deeply.
Piccolo crossed his arms as the illusions disappeared all around him. Why'd he even bother to be polite? Looking up at the flesh above, he noticed digestive enzymes beginning to secrete themselves.
Pathetic.
Forming a massive energy bolt in his right hand, Piccolo smirked. He hoped this Princess Snake liked getting heartburn.
In the distance, Tien, Chaotzu, and Yamcha saw a massive explosion, followed by an almost wailing screech of agony.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Piccolo's face mirrored the face of when he'd blown through the snake's body to escape. She didn't find it quite as amusing as he did however.
Slowly though, even as his body picked up higher and higher speeds, Piccolo's thoughts drifted.
It'd been weeks before he could have received any news of the living world, weeks since he discovered the plan to use the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Gohan, I believe in you. You can get the Dragon Balls.
He was even more proud of Gohan now that he learned he was travelling into space just for a chance to save him, and the other three fighters.
It was strange, friendship. It was something he'd never experienced in his entire life until he met Gohan, and now it was something he couldn't imagine not having. He'd do anything to help Gohan, he'd even died for him, but that's what a true friend would do.
A thundering Sonic Boom clapped around King Kai's world, before Piccolo's body slammed into the surface at high speeds, sending dust and high forces in all directions. In the centre of this, Piccolo slowly rose to his full height.
"I am ready." Piccolo said, looking at the blue skinned, glasses wearing, short and tubby God.
"Oh! So you think your ready, huh?" King Kai asked with a big smile. "Well, you must be the one of the ones from Earth I first heard about! Well my training isn't easy!"
"I'll do whatever I have to," Piccolo said, his stone face as cold and determined as ever.
King Kai just put his hands together behind his back before saying cheerily.
"Excellent!" Giggle. "Those who wish to train under the Great King Kai must pass three tests. But the most important is the first one!"
Piccolo raised a brow in response, waiting to be told.
"You've got to make me laugh!"
Needless to say, the look on Piccolo's face, as this heralded master of the disciplines told him his trial, was priceless, something no one could ever forget if they saw it.
And with that, King Kai's laughter echoed throughout the heavens.

Planet Namek:
The woman was trying to flee.
"Well, now that we feel all these big powers out here, maybe its time I went to grab Goku! I mean it'll only take two months!" She promised.
Raditz's temper was finally reaching its peak with the woman. With a closed fist he snarled at her.
"You idiotic woman! You are not taking the space craft back to earth! We will be fine! We just need to use our heads, something you clearly aren't used to!"
"Are you calling me stupid?!"
"No! I'm calling you arrogant, lazy, and stupid!" Raditz shot back.
"Uhm, you guys." Krillen tried to cut in, noticing the two figures floating through the air towards them.
Ignoring him, the verbal battle continued.
"Well look at you, Mister High and Mighty! Too stupid too-"
VOOM!
Raditz heard the energy cannon go off, it sheered through the roof of the Space Ship, burrowing into the entire craft and emerging from the other side. With his attention turned to the two in the sky, Raditz narrowed his eyes.
"Dead men." Was all Raditz managed to say, his eyes glaring up at the men.
"Look at this, these fools think they can fight us!" One of the scouts laughed.
When Raditz, Gohan, and Krillen appeared in front of them in a blur of motion so quick that they couldn't follow, they became more concerned. Especially when the scouters were reading 1,500 across the board.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Zarbon stood next to Frieza as his scouter continued to blip.
Three spikes of 1,500, then the scouts disappeared from the scouter, and the blips disappeared as well.
"Lord Frieza, it would appear that our Scouts were taken out by several weaker powers on the periphery of our investigation."
Insignificant, was all that came to Frieza's mind.
"That is nearly completely irreverent Zarbon, so there are still a few Nameks out there? Well, we'll just have to find a way to live with that."
Zarbon swallowed.
"I understand your lack of concern Lord Frieza, but if they continue to harass our scouts it could be a problem."
The tyrant looked irritated, he looked annoyed by the very comment even.
"I am more concerned about Vegeta," He pointed out. "Now, tell me exactly what is going on."
"I ordered Cui to pursue him immediately after I found out of his departure. It shouldn't take long for Cui to crush Vegeta like a bug. There shouldn't even be a worry."
Dodoria chuckled as he stepped over several dead villagers, holding the third Dragon Ball.
"The reading my scouter is giving me tells me that they are getting started." Dodoria chuckled.
"Let me take a reading. Ah, just as I thought, 15,000 for Vegeta, 18,000 for Cui. This won't take... hm. That's odd..."
"What is it, Zarbon?" Dodoria questioned.
"Vegeta's power is rising. Its over 19,000... 21,000! 22,000-"
The scouter exploded, falling into shattered remnants on the grounds.
The two henchmen stood there, completely in shock. Dodoria was quick to check his own scouter.
"It says 24,000." He realized. "That's stronger than us." He then pointed out to Zarbon.
"I think we can safely say, Cui is finished." Frieza then added. "I will expect much, much more from the two of you."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Cui backed away nervously as Vegeta started to approach his would-be killer. Cui would have been a tough fight for him, before Earth. However, now? He was going to be nothing but a speed bump on his road to immortality.
"W-wait Vegeta! Can't we sort this out!?"
"No, I don't think so. I think I'd rather kill you, but thank you for the kind invitation."
Vegeta enjoyed watching his prey squirm. He only wished it was Kakarot, Frieza, or that dog Raditz begging in front of him right now. Still, Cui had been an arrogant bastard to him for years, this was going to be a most pleasant experience, for him of course. Cui was likely to think of this experience as terrifying, painful, and humiliating.
"But. But!" Cui stuttered.
A way out. He needed a way out of his particular predicament. If he ran, if he got away, Frieza or Zarbon would kill him. If he stayed, he didn't like his odds against Vegeta. In fact, he was liking his odds less and less with every single step Vegeta took towards him.
"We could team up Vegeta! I'm sure you and I working together could defeat Frieza and all of his men!"
Vegeta's response was an entertained laugh, and a short one at that.
"No, Cui, you are too weak and pathetic to be of any use to me."
Cui saw his death now only two meters away before pointing behind Vegeta.
"Its Frieza."
"What?!" Vegeta turned his head.
"Idiot!" Cui laughed, forming a massive energy blast in his palm and unleashing it on his 'unsuspecting' foe. The barrage that followed was immense, hammering the crush of the planet mercilessly.
Cui was breathing heavily before he froze in terror. As the smoke cleared, he heard a voice behind him.
"Was that really all you had Cui?"
Turning around, he just saw the sinister smirk which Vegeta had placed across his face.
"I'll see you in Hell, Cui."
"No! Wait!"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"And it looks like that power signature just went offline." Dodoria said. "Vegeta just crushed him."
Frieza was entertained by the posture which Zarbon and Dodoria now took. They were worried, perhaps even terrified. How pathetic, it was as if their brains stopped working the moment they came across a powerful threat.
"Its nothing to worry about Dodoria. Its only 24,000." Frieza reminded his henchmen. "To me, that is nothing."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Someone stop the woman from crying, or I will kill her."
Bulma was still crying near the cave they'd found, utterly afraid of her still.
However, there was a pause from Raditz before he could continue.
"So, who do you think those guys were back there Raditz? They wore armour like you and the other saiyans."
Raditz stopped, he looked nervous and frustrated, he had since they'd killed the two scouts they'd come across. Neither of them were henchmen he had noticed. That didn't mean it was safe however, this planet was ranked as a class 3 world. It was unlikely to have a high bidder or a likely buyer. That meant whoever was here was conquering this rock likely under Frieza's orders himself. He remembered the jobs Vegeta, Nappa and himself would get sent out on. Things that Frieza found of 'interest' often had an assault team sent to it within a 3 month period.
But if any soldiers were here at all, he knew they likely had a team of elites. Warriors with power levels over 5,000, with squad leaders approaching 9,000 or more.
The bald short one had recommended they keep their powers suppressed, which he agreed with. It was standard procedure to find and annihilate the highest power levels first on any given world. He needed to see what exactly was happening on this world before he made any moves... against his 'friends' or against his newly found enemies.
It was then that everyone, save Bulma, detected the powers rushing towards them.
Raditz, Gohan, and Krillen almost all froze. For a moment there was a dark power, even just a flash of it was so great they could barely move, overwhelmed by the aura it was producing.
Finally, Krillen was the first to snap out of it.
"Into the cave! Now!"
No one needed to be told twice. Krillen and Gohan slid up against the wall, their eyes shut tightly as the forces began to fly past. The only one peaking out was Raditz, and for a brief moment in time, as if with a flash, he saw the three figures leading the army of powers flying by.
No.
Gohan opened his eyes, still in shock by just the power he felt. But he could see something that made him worry.
Raditz was trembling. Standing there with his mouth open, he looked frozen beyond his trembling. You could tell he was barely able to think even. Did that power frighten him that much? Something didn't seem right.
"Uncle?" He asked.
Raditz didn't even move.
That was... that was Frieza! Frieza, the most powerful being in the Galaxy. Frieza, my boss. Frieza, the one who likely destroyed my home planet.
"Raditz!" Krillen finally cut in.
Raditz blinked, looking towards his three companions, his heart still racing.
"What was that terrible power, do you know?" Krillen finally asked. "I saw the way some of those guys looked, they were wearing saiyan armour like before. Who are these guys?"
Raditz looked in the direction the powers were flying.
"That, was Lord Frieza, master of the World Trade Organization, and self-declared ruler of the northern half of this galaxy." Raditz finally said. "He is also considered by many, especially himself, as the most powerful being in the universe."
With a power level of over 300,000.
The last thought sent icy chills down his spine.
"Wha-what?" Krillen asked, looking terrified. "M-more powerful than Vegeta?"
"Much more powerful than Vegeta. In fact, he was... well, he was our boss. Vegeta, Nappa and myself were subservient to Lord Frieza. He may have even destroyed our home planet." Raditz said, his fist closing tightly.
"Wha? And you guys still worked for him? But why?" Gohan asked.
"There is little other choice that to submit to the will of Frieza. He is unstoppable."
It was true, any chance of collecting those Dragon Balls was finished. How could they even get close? Dodoria or Zarbon alone would be almost too much for them to handle, let alone Frieza.
"We have to get off this planet." He finally concluded. "Frieza will win,"
"But what about our friends!" Gohan shouted angrily.
"Weren't you just saying we weren't going to leave, why the change of heart?" Krillin asked.
Raditz felt irritated with his nephew in that moment. Not just because of a blind willingness to challenge Frieza, but because of the childish notion that the dead could magically just come back all the time.
"Sometimes people die, boy. I hope you don't forget that. A magical dragon cannot fix everything. And you, midget, don't understand how powerful Frieza is."
Gohan just felt angry. He was angry at Raditz for giving up, and angry at the situation. His anger only increased with the mention of how his friends could just die and there was nothing he could do about it.
He paused however, seeing Krillen taking his hat off, as well as disposing of his weighted clothing.
"Bulma." Krillen said.
Bulma obviously heard what was being said, and looked over to Krillen still looking a bit frightened at what Raditz had described.
"Check the Dragon Radar."
Bulma clicked it, instantly noticing 3 Dragon Balls were with the pirates.
"They, they have three of the Dragon Balls! And they are heading towards a Fourth!"
"They are following the power levels of the Namekian villagers." Raditz said. "But it doesn't matter, those Dragon Balls are-"
"Bulma, contact Earth as soon as you can, we're going to need Goku!" Krillen stated.
"You ready Gohan?" Krillen asked, running outside the cave. "Remember, no flying!"
Raditz blinked, realizing he was being completely ignored.
"What?! Are you two stupid!?"
Gohan ran outside next.
"Right, we've gotta follow them for the Dragon Balls, and to do everything we can to help those villagers."
Raditz blinked, several times, stepping forward, still feeling and looking nervous.
"Don't you understand? This is a lost cause!"
Krillen paused, slowly turning to look at Raditz.
"Oh yea? Well Goku, your brother? He never gives up. His whole life people have said he couldn't do tons of things, or couldn't win, and he always finds a way. I've seen him do it with my own two eyes. He's my best friend, and you know what he's taught me? You can never give up. Never. If you want to stay behind, that's fine. But I already knew you wouldn't understand."
Raditz started to snarl.
"You idiot, aren't you afraid to die?! He's more than a thousand times stronger than you!"
"Sure I'm afraid." Krillen responded. "But you have to face your fears. Ready Gohan?"
"Yea!" Gohan said, his face edged with determination. With that, they rushed ahead, dashing at incredible speeds without flight, in order to keep their powers low.
Raditz was left behind for a moment, left wordless by their response.
"You aren't anything like Goku," Bulma determined.
With an irritated growl Raditz looked ahead.
He'd fought Vegeta, and expected to die doing it.
That was different...
With an irritated noise, Raditz launched himself after them.
It'd been a nightmare to watch. Frieza and his beasts had taken the entire village hostage, three elders and two children.
It became clear to Gohan and Krillen right away that Frieza had the Dragon Balls, given they could see the massive Namekian Dragon Balls with their own eyes, being held by Zarbon and Dodoria. When the two of the three elders died, it became increasingly difficult for Gohan to hold himself back.
The situation didn't improve, even once three Namek Warriors arrived to confront Frieza's men.
"Krillen, we've gotta do something."
The two noticed Raditz crawl up to their sides now. He was further back however simply because he was larger.
"Decided to join us?" Krillen asked with a smile. "The Nameks are doing pretty good down there-"
"Dodoria and Zarbon are as strong as Vegeta,"
"... Oh..."
Below, things were getting uglier by the moment. Dodoria killed the three younger warriors, but not before the remaining Namek Elder, Moori, had destroyed all of Frieza's remaining scouters. Within a few moments, Moori had handed over the Dragon Ball to Frieza, placing his count to 4. The argument that broke out afterwards made it clear what was to happen.
A small Namekian child next to Frieza looked sick and terrified the entire time he trembled next to Frieza.
Frieza seemed entertained by the creature's fear and obedience.
"You see, my green friend, you must be harsh with your enemies. They must learn to understand why they are inferior. Such as you have learned." Frieza told the child.
"Please, let the boy come over to us and leave us in peace. You already have your Dragon Ball." Moori begged.
"You want to protect this child, do you not, Namek?"
"Of course. We wish to protect all life."
"Well that would be against your best interests then, because everyone around you is about to die." Frieza laughed. "Dodoria, finish these Nameks."
The first blast from the Pink Mountain shot past, killing the small child next to Dende as the two tried to fleet. With a sickening crack of the neck, moments later, Moori joined them.
It was when Dodoria approached Dende that Gohan couldn't hold back anymore.
He'd sat back and watched the slaughter from safety, he'd held himself in check. But now? It was impossible for the young saiyan to hold back anymore. These people had done nothing to warrant such a terrifying end. All they'd wanted was to live in peace. It was too late to save the village, but it wasn't too late to save the last of the village.
They were going to pay for this.
There a cry of rage which few could understand. Gohan's voice echoing over the village which had once prospered there. Dodoria froze for a moment. Zarbon and Frieza were left wondering what this was as well.
Blasting into the air and pushing himself at full speed, Gohan shot towards Dodoria.
Krillen's eyes widened in terror as this happened.
From behind, Raditz's eyes widened with something beyond terror, he couldn't even make a noise as this unfolded in front of him.
Before the pink blob could figure out what was happening, Gohan's foot crashed into the side of his head, sending the juggernaut into the side of a Namekian house.
Zarbon's features twisted into furious ones as he watched this.
"Leave him alone!" Gohan finally snapped as Dodoria started to get up.
"Who the Hell are you?" Dodoria responded, though he started to grin at the kid. This kid was finished as far as he was concerned.
"If you want him, you're going to have to go through me!" Gohan shouted.
"What did you say?!" Dodoria snapped, pulling himself up only to be kicked by Krillen.
To the side, Zarbon started to make motion towards the two. How dare they interfere?
"Zarbon," Frieza said. "Show these idiots who is the one in control here." He said calmly.
"With pleasure Lord Friez-"
The pain in his face was immense, the cracking sound of a boot colliding with it was unsurprising in the fact it made such a sound, but very surprising to the light-green skinned warrior himself. Blood splattered from his mouth. He lost grip of the right Dragon Ball in his hand before his body was sent plummeting towards the water next to the village, crashing into the surface with a huge splash.
Frieza looked over, his face twisted with fury to see Raditz, having caught the 6 star Dragon Ball.
Zarbon's body emerged out of the water, waves exploding out from where he surfaced, his eyes were laced with fury.
Instead of trying to hold onto the Dragon Ball, Raditz knew full well he couldn't steal this right now and expect to get away. However he could use it as a distraction. With all his might he threw the ball itself, at Zarbon.
Zarbon's response to projectiles, or energy blasts, was often to intercept them with his own blast. However, he couldn't shoot down the Dragon Ball, though his reflexes nearly made him do it. Just as the ball past the sound barrier, causing a small "woofm" in the air, it collided with his face, nose first. Blood ejected into the air as the ball bounced off his face, dropping Zarbon like a rock, this time causing him to drop the other ball as well. Both balls and the alien hit the water line as Frieza looked panicked.
A grin did appear on Raditz's face in that moment.
"My Dragon Balls!" He shouted, looking back up a moment later to where Raditz had been, noting he was gone.
Dodoria was starting to get up now.
"Gohan, move!" Krillen shouted, having grabbed the child who would come to be known as Dende. With that, the three launched into the air.
It was when Dodoria finally did get up, rubbing his face, that Frieza turned his attention to him.
"Dodoria! Get off your fat buttocks and chase them down! Immediately!"
Dodoria immediately felt the pain in his face flee him, or rather flee Frieza. Within a heartbeat he was already taking off to the air.
Frieza had noticed who the last attacker had been, he was familiar. Clearly, he'd seen him somewhere before.
That was Raditz! Vegeta's underling!
Fury boiled to the surface. Frieza's eyes narrowed tightly ahead.
From the water Zarbon's head finally emerged, gasping for air and grabbing the side of the waterline to hold himself up.
Frieza's critical gaze fell onto his lieutenant.
"You chose to drag yourself up before retrieving my Dragon Balls?"
The cold words immediately made Zarbon panic.
"My error, Lord Frieza!" With that, Zarbon immediately dived into the lake to retrieve the Dragon Balls.
To Frieza's side, the little Namekian child looked at what had just proceeded, before his eyes gazed up at the Tyrant, his face edged with rage for the first time. Very quickly, Cargo was learning what it meant to serve at the behest of a tyrant.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The four flying bodies blazed through the air.
"Boy!" Raditz said, his features twisted by rage. "Do you have any idea what you have done?!"
"Fight later," Krillen said, looking over to Raditz before Gohan could answer. "We've got company."
Behind them, the furious Dodoria was closing in.

A/N: I'll give you guys a bit of an update of how powerful people are at the moment.
Coldblue: Raditz wouldn't be able to find Turles's ship easily, as it is underwater.
Turles has the same chances of surviving as any character. Mortality visits my characters a lot, even those I put a lot of effort and time into (example, Colonel Violet). If he lives or dies, it needs to feel authentic and organic in either scenario. Regardless of if he's a Super Saiyan or anything else.
The Namekian Boy is revealed as being Cargo, Dende's brother.
Tien: Lord Slug plays a rather major part of my story, but you actually may not see him on Namek... And Cooler plays an incredibly important role in this story as well, that I cannot stress enough. But I cannot tell you how or when. :P
Mystic Milli: Gohan is one of those people who could make the Devil change his ways. I think a very common theme of the story is going to be that Gohan has a way of reaching out to even the worst people, just by being as friendly and empathetic as he is.
FightingChampion: Thanks for the review. I felt that Turles needs to be viewed as a competent fighter and leader, and intimidating. If he's not, why is he leader?
Dark Impaler: Slug may not appear on Namek. Infact he's been banished from there by the power of the Dragon Balls.
Next chapter has a lot of big events going down. Be sure to check it out. And of course please review, I always enjoy reading them.
