Bulma ran over to Vegeta as Bill walked away. It stung that yet again they were trusting a monster over him. Bulma began to look him over as she spoke "This doesn't look good even with his suit giving him first aid he'll still going to bleed to death."

"Good. The monster has it coming."

Bulma throw him a harsh glare but Bill didn't seem to care. Bulma then looked over to Chi-Chi "If I get him to the imperial's ship, I can fix this."

"But Bill said that it took off?" Chi-Chi looked at him confused.

Bill sighed but hurriedly said afterward "Well it was then I stopped it." He thought to himself maybe they shouldn't trust him but the rest of him smacked that down. He was protecting them the only one who could. He continued "If we're going then we should get Mai and the others I don't think splitting up is such a good idea anymore."

Chi-Chi felt something in the back of her head saying something was wrong, she felt like she was being lied to, but she quickly dismissed it the moment Gohan woke in her arms.

Gohan woke in confusion he looked around and panicked asked "Mom? What…?"

"We beat them son. We beat those ridiculous guys. We're all good." She put him down the boy down. At first, he seemed a little shaky, but he quickly recovered. "Alright everyone gather round I'll transport us just grab hold of me or someone whose touching me."

Nail and Chi-Chi quickly grabbed the balls as they all got ready to take off. Bill a little puzzled "Is this that instant thing that the Yardrats taught you?"

Chi-Chi said back quickly "Yep."

Trunks help his mother move the bleeding wounded Vegeta. Everyone held hand and suddenly they were transported to the cave in a pop.

Mai and the others were quite surprised to see them "What's going on? WHY DO YOU HAVE HIM?" She yelled upon seeing the unconscious Vegeta.

"We're tempting fate Captain. Now come on. We got a terrible idea that might get up all killed to try out." They quickly collected their stuff in a very military fashion.

The reunited group joined the circle and soon they were at the imperial ship. The dead bodies were still around untouched not out long enough to start rotting. It seemed that Namek lacked vultures or scavengers that would have normally been having a ball over this. It meant that it would take a great deal longer for nature to remove these corpses.

Mai eyes with disgust in them said "Nice place."

Vasquez sneering at this sight saying, "Better them then us."

Spunkmeyer nervously asked "Are you sure everyone is dead in there?"

Nail spoke before the others to say, "Yeah I can't sense anyone."

Nail wasn't looking at Spunkmeyer instead he looked over to Bill whose eye was twitching. Nail could sense that something about this guy wasn't right. His training was telling him dark clouds surrounded this situation. It was like he was plotting to kill everyone that wasn't in his group. These men had all been killed by him. Humans might seem weak, but they were dangerous. The empire was human besides the saiyan in charge. It was humans in their armor that was doing much of the damage to his world and the galactic.

"Ferro, Spunkmeyer with me. We're searching the ship to find anything that we can use. We'll scavenge anything we might need."

"When I'm done with Vegeta, I'll come and help you figure out what we need."

"Nail, kids let's go get the balls and get our wish."

The three nodded. The groups all entered. The airlock had been busted opened by Bill earlier. The ship was trashed with bodies. Bill had killed everyone armed or unarmed. Gohan and Trunks seemed to not understand this situation but everyone else did.

To the remnants of the fireteam Bill looked like a killing machine. Vasquez and Hicks were in awe, so was Spunkmeyer and Ferro. Mai was nervous but was quick to throw it away. Bulma and Chi-Chi were shocked but didn't voice any concerns this was war after all, and these were Kakarrot's men.

Bill, Ferro and Spunkmeyer broke off to head for the bridge. While Chi-Chi, Nail, Trunks and Gohan went to the cargo hold. Vasquez and Hicks wounded they may have been, but they helped Bulma carry Vegeta to the med bay.

The med bay was as advance as she had ever seen. Bulma could tell that the Empire had been hard at work going leaps and bounds technological when they had left Earth. They even had their own healing pod like she had seen in ads for while shopping on Risa.

It was so new that it even had detail instructions on how to use it on the side of the thing. She laid Vegeta down on the table. The movement seemed to wake him. His eyes opened and everyone but Bulma took a step back in fear,

Bulma got close and looked into his eyes "Are you okay?"

Vegeta gritting his teeth "What do you think woman?"

Bulma nodded then spoke to him like he was a child "Well I'd say your bleeding internally and externally. Also, it would be clearly easier to count the number of bones that aren't broken. Oh, also in the hour without something done you will bleed to death."

Vegeta snapped back very sarcastically "You don't say? I couldn't image that with all this pain and blood. "

"You know it's not a smart idea to sass your only hope."

"Please woman. I've survived much worse."

"Maybe but not without help Princy."

She looked over to the fireteam. They had been fixing themselves as she and Vegeta had been sniping at each other.

"You guys can head off if you're feeling better. This stuff looks good, but you guys are pretty well healed at this point."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asked while looking at Vegeta with great suspicion.

Bulma rolled her eyes at that question "What is he going to bleed on me? He might be talking tough, but the black knight here can't even really move his body. He just didn't realize it because he is tripping balls on pain meds right now that his suit gave him. It's the only reason he isn't screaming in agony."

Vegeta grit his teeth and in anger tried to move his body to find Bulma wasn't lying. He realized he could barely move his eyelids or mouth. Vegeta angry but found that he was exhausted "How did you...?"

"Because sweetie my fingers are touching your kidneys right now and you didn't seem to notice."

She took away her bloody hand that she had used to stop some bleeding. She then when back to trying to staple Vegeta side back in before she planned to stuff him in healing pod. The fireteam saw the truth and left. Leaving Bulma and Vegeta alone.

Vegeta felt helpless right now the woman was right he was dying, and it was up to this fool to save him. It didn't sting as much as Kakarrot's and Frieza's gabs, but he thought a true warrior shouldn't need her help. It was like his entire life had been a joke. To be looked down on by the weak and the inferior. He was a king an elite and the only hope of a dead people.

"Why are you helping me?"

Bulma looked deep into his eyes "I wanted to thank you for saving my son."

"What? Oh, I thought the brat looked familiar. You should tell your little bastard to not pick fights with bigger bastards." He said expecting her to get angry.

Bulma chuckled at that "Man you have issues. You can't even take a thank you without acting like an asshole and shitting all over it."

"Why not? Your just making fun of me like everyone else."

Bulma tears were in her eyes "No I'm not. You saved his life. I owe you more than I can possibly describe. If he had died, I don't know if I could go on. Truth is I've been on fumes since we left Earth. I've lost my husband, my mother and maybe my father at this point I don't know we can't get contact. We are damned refugees running and hiding without a home or a safe harbor. The only thing left is him and you saved him."

Vegeta now felt small and petty "I lost every once too. I'm a refugee too I guess." Internally he cursed himself for saying that. "These are strong drugs you know."

Bulma smiled while still red eyed "Yeah drugs, that hasn't to be it."

"Glad you agree. So, this…"

She interrupted him "This never happened. You were just drugged and babbling nonsense."

"You sell yourself short woman. Your alive because your strong. Most places I go life is cheap you see. It is sold like that. I know the truth and you do too. Life is pain that you hold onto in the vain hope it will mean something. Life is not cheap but expensive to us. It requires everything and then some. Dying is easy. I've seen that personally. I've seen fire in your eyes you can survive and so can your son."

For along second stared at each until Bulma face smashed into his. Vegeta was basically paralyzed so Bulma did most of the work but before anything else could happen the machine loudly beeped now ready for him. Bulma pulled herself off of him.

"Fucking figures."

Bulma got him up and placed him into the machine. He noticed the clothes she had on now covered in his blood along with it in her mouth. She had his scent all over her. A surge of pride hit him at that fact. She placed the mask over his face she shut the doors and it filled with fluid. He put his hand on the glass viewer and she placed her hand over his. It slid off as he went unconscious.

Bulma looked at herself "Man I need to change. See you in an hour or two Vegeta" She had no idea what she was going to do once they wished Yamcha back now. Consider she had just made out with the Prince.


Bill arrived with the others at the bridge. There were more bodies including the admiral. A light was flashing on one of the command consoles.

A voice came overhead "Admiral Blanco do you read me? This is Captain Blonde. Freedom are you there? The Emperor demands an audience."

Spunkmeyer looked over to the button but Bill said, "Leave it."

The messages continued as Vasquez and Hicks arrived. They began to go throw some things.

"My lord I thought you would be busy." There was movement. A light came on as a chill came up Bill's spine as a holographic figured appeared behind him.

"Oh, the familiar faces."

Bill slowly turned around. His body screaming for him to run. It might have been a hologram, but this was the real thing no illusion. He had the same grin on his face that he always had in his dream. He was the grinning man always finding so much sick joy in horror and mayhem.

"Been awhile hasn't its Billy boy. You know the last time I saw you I told you I was teacher giving you a lesson." He looked at the noting that this was not Chi-Chi based on the brutality of it. "I think you may have got the lesson. Tell me did you kill the Yardratians?"

Bill said nothing just stared angrily at him much to the monster delight.

"Well I guess I have my answer then. Interesting the silent treatment. You now I wonder if the wife you stole from me will give me the same when I reclaim her. I hope not. She has a lot of explaining to do considering she's kept my kid from me."

Bill one eye went wide, and the monster cackled.

"So Crixus wasn't lying. I do have a son with Chi-Chi. It's such a crime that I've haven't yet had a chance to meet him. Oh, but I need to punish my wife but you I won't harm a hair on your head even if its whiter then I remember. No, I'm going to make you watch." There was a pause. "I'll be seeing yah."

The hologram turned off and, in a rage, Bill pointed his hand at the console and started firing. Busting a hole to the outside world. He kept firing until Mai put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her still blind with rage looked at her still in kill mode. His eye turned from her in shame as he came back to himself.

He turned and walked away his head and said, "We got to get the fuck out of here."

Spunkmeyer asked her "Captain what was…?"

Mai said determinedly without showing any doubt "Lies all of it. Never listen to anything that, that man says." Something felt wrong, but it felt wrong to think that way. She was determined to power through those suspicious.


Chi-Chi group quickly found the balls in the bowels of the ships. Everyone but Nail was smiling. Gohan because he sensed the happiness of his family. Trunks was smiling and crying he was about to see his dad again, but he realized he had forgot his voice and it made him sad.

Chi-Chi had done her best to not think about the people she had lost over the years. Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Launch, Tien and Chiaotzu they all died at the monster's hands. She started crying to as her memory went to them.

She remembered when she first met Roshi the old dirty man asking to see Bulma underwear. When she got older it made sense and pissed her off but now it was a cherished memory. Krillin had been such an ass to her when they had first met. He was insistent that girls couldn't fight, and he cheated her too. By the end she couldn't imagine a more loyal friend. Yamcha started out a bandit that Chi-Chi was eager to fight then he became a loving husband to Bulma and a friend. Launch was aggressive and mean but then she became a mother. Tien and Chiaotzu both had started out as pupils of a man who wanted Roshi dead. Tien was a man holding on to hate and anger, but he managed to renounce that and became a father. Chiaotzu proved his loyalty and his kindness. They all deserved better and she had betrayed them all.

The group took the balls outside and the four of them gather round. Before they began Bulma who had changed back into her adventure outfit came out. She was determined to see this all through too.

Nail looked at Chi-Chi and she nodded in Namekian Nail called out. The sky went dark and filled with clouds. The balls glowed, and light shot out of the balls. The light jetted up into the sky and it took form. It was a dragon but not at all like Earth's. This one had antennae like the other Namekians. It was far more humanoid with shoulders. It was muscular and larger than Shenron. Porunga as she heard Nail call him. He was an impressive dragon and he spoke in a booming voice.

Nail said to Chi-Chi "Okay you got three wishes."

"Wish everyone killed by Kakarrot Gero or his army brought back to life."

Nail spoke but the dragon sighed. Chi-Chi could tell that something was wrong. Nail then explained "The dragon can only bring back one life at a time."

Chi-Chi was frozen. This was at all fair. Kami was gone thanks to Piccolo. That meant she was going to have to choose who got to live again or not. One of them had to be Yamcha but the others. She could move neither could Bulma.

This made her cry. Over a minute passed as Porunga grumbled. Chi-Chi had no idea what happen to little Kunlun. If she was going to bring back Tien, she had to bring back Launch and Chiaotzu or else that was cruel. Krillin was her best friend and Roshi her mentor either of them would be good in this struggle. But of course, they all needed to be brought to Namek.

"Aw the dragon is getting restless."

Chi-Chi nodded it was an impossible choice but the first one was clear Yamcha would be first. Kunlun was still alive Kakarrot would have killed him then and there. The next two wishes would be Tien and Launch. It was impossible choice but needed to be done "Bring back…"

She was interrupted as the dragon screamed out in pain and then disappeared as did the clouds. The balls laid their turned to stone. There was dead silence hanging over the air as the kids were confused. Bulma fell to her knees as Nail collapsed onto the ground his hands on the grass. He punched the ground and screamed out.

Trunks was crying in "Sensei what's going on what's happening."

Chi-Chi crying too "Guru's dead. They killed him."


The men of the First Helljumpers Alpha Company were celebrating their win against the natives. It had been embarrassing that they had lost one man to old men and children. But this had been an easy win all they had to do was bust down the door and start blasting. The massive old man couldn't even move as they put tons of holes into him. The only one that was felt that the boys were playing with until the CO told them to finish him off.

They had failed to hear anything from 'Freedom', so they were preparing to finish off the kid and head back when Chi-Chi and Nail appeared.

The CO yelled "Primary target has arrived kill the Namek and capture Chi-Chi."

Chi-Chi disappeared grabbing Dende as Nail waved through the Imperials. It was a slaughter and it was over in seconds. The last man didn't bother begging he just laughed and said "Your race is no more green man. Your plague of a people is gone. We are down one less bug to squash."

Nail response was to take a little off the top of the man's head. He looked around all had sworn to protect was dead. He saw his father. He was nearly a puddle of purple. Nail turned from it "My people are gone."

"No, you are here so is Dende. You can survive."

"No, the only I want right now is to be with them."

"Guru was alone when he restarted his people. You can do it too and you're not even alone."

"I've never been this angry."

"Use it. There an army of men that are responsible for this."

"Live for revenge?"

Chi-Chi shook her head "No live to avenge them."

The appeared back at the ship. Bulma was a sobbing mess on the ground holding her son who was the same. Gohan was crying because of it and he rushed over to hug her as Dende clung to her like an infant. Nail never shed a tear he simply looked like he wasn't done killing things.

The rest of the group came out lead by Bill. "What happened?"

He asked as a jolt of fear went up Chi-Chi spine. She yelled out "GET BACK INSIDE!"

She put down Dende as everyone else got the feel of the situation. Shooting down from the sky was a circular ship with a dome. It looked like Ginyu tech. Inside that ship however was something way more powerful than Ginyu.

She easily guessed that this was Frieza. The ship landed not far from where they were and soon, they were to see the horned tyrant all purple and white. With his men behind him. He looked down at them and said, "How small they are."


Frieza has arrive next chapter How small they are. So, a long time ago I decided that no one is coming back because that doesn't work for this story. This will be a bitter-sweet ending because nothing really in super will come into play so no more dragon balls.
