"I'm not dead yet!" *chuckles* sorry but it was the best way and I've been quoting Monty Python for awhile. But welcome to the first chapter of the Frieza/Namek saga! As a heads up, the next saga after this will feature Naruto, Sharla, and... drum roll please *insert drum roll here* Naruto's Unuiverse's godess of destruction. Yeah surprising I know. This will be my version of the Battle of Gods Saga. So yeah I'm not doing the Garlic Jr. filler Saga because one I don't remember any of it, minus Marron since she was just a sterotypicall blonde, and two I don't think anyone would like reading it, with that said... DISCLAIMER TIME!!! I do not own Naruto or Dragon Ball Z (original, kai, and abridged) please support the official release.
Last Time on Naruto Ball Z
The battle with ended with our heroes victorious after Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans, retreated to safety. Sadly the battle ended with casualties with no way of bringing them back. Luckily Mr. Popo, assistant to Kami, the guardian of Earth, revealed there were Dragon Balls on Kami's home planet known as Namek. Bulma, Gohan, Krillin, Naruto, and Sharla begin their journey to Namek to find the Dragon Balls now!
Naruto Ball Z
Chapter 9
Off to Namek!
The History of "Sharla"
Master Roshi's Island
It's the morning of the trip to Namek and Bulma was going over a checklist to see if she packed everything needed. "Water, check. Food, check. Clothes, check. Capsule house, check. Some instant Ramen for Naruto," she giggled at that item, "Check. Well that's just about everything." Krillin, who was ready to go, complete with jacket and a baseball cap, nodded at her. "It does," he said, "All we need now is our three other passengers." "Don't need to wait for me!" A voice called out. Bulma and Krillin looked up and saw Sharla coming in for a landing. "Sorry if I'm late, had to lock up my Dojo."
"Tis ok, just glad we got another girl taking this trip with us," said Bulma as Sharla landed with the female Saiyan nodded. "Without me, the trip would probably be a sasuage party," she said as she high fives Bulma. Krillin chuckled as he saw a ship approach them. "Hey ladies seems like Gohan and Naruto are here!" Sharla was an awe in the size of the ship which was practically the size of 3 dojos. "Guess the Ox King wants to see his grandsons off," Krillin voiced his thoughts, Bulma nodded while Sharla was in shock. "THE OX KING'S COMING?!" she practically screeched. Bulma and Krillin shook off the screech and nodded. "Yeah," said Krillin, "You heard of him?" "Heard of him? Yes! I heard his home almost got burned down till Goku managed to save the day!" said Sharla. Krillin rubbed his chin in thought. 'How does she know bout that? She seems a bit young to know that. Besides, barely anyone knows bout that. Better ask once we're in space.'
Once the ship land the doors open to reveal Naruto, garbed in his training clothes, Chichi, who was dressed normally, the Ox King, who seems to be wearing a very fancy suit, and Gohan, who was wearing a school uniform. Sharla stared in awe at the Ox King while Krillin and Bulma were in shock at what Gohan is wearing
"Now remember Naruto you promised to make sure Gohan will keep studying during your trip to find the Dragon Balls," Chichi told her adopted son. "Yes mom." "Also, please stay safe," she said, "I know you're strong already like Gohan, but please don't try to act like Goku." Naruto chuckled as he nodded, he then hugged his adopted mother. "You know I will, besides if anything dangerous happens, I'll be sure to protect Gohan, Believe it," he said with smile. Chichi began tearing up before returning the hug a bit tighter.
Naruto began flailing his arms like crazy from how tight the hug was. Everyone chuckled at the blonde's predictament, including Gohan and the Ox King. "If the hug fest is over," spoke Sharla, "we should get moving, we got Dragon Balls to find and revive some warriors." Everyone nodded as Chi Chi lets go of Naruto and kissed Gohan on his forehead. Both boys joined Bulma, Krillin, and Sharla on Kami's ship. "Stay safe boys!" Chi Chi called out to the brothers. Naruto and Gohan smiled and waved to their mother as the ship doors closed and the ship blasts off into space heading towards Namek.
Outer Space
Kami's Ship
It has been two hours since the gang began their journey. Bulma was currently piloting the ship with the coordinates given to her from Mr. Popo, Gohan ditched the school clothes for his training clothes, that were given to him by Piccolo, and was currently watching Sharla and Naruto spar with each other with Krillin as the bald warrior scratches his chin in thought.
Gohan noticed the bald man's action and decided to speak up. "Hey Krillin?" he asked, "what ya thinking about?" Krillin, startled by the attention looked at Gohan before replying. "Sorry, just, Sharla knew something that most people don't know about, I'm beginning to question her a bit..." Gohan was puzzled and was about to ask what he meant before Krillin stood up and walked towards them.
Naruto noticed and waves. "Hey Krillin," the blonde said with a smile, "what's going on?" Krillin smilied at the adopted son of Goku before walking towards Sharla. "Well I need to talk to Sharla for a bit." "Aren't ya a bit old for her?" Naruto ask with a tilt of his head. Krillin stumbled as Gohan chuckled and Sharla giggled. "Actually, I need to ask her something in private," responded Krillin. "Why not ask here?" asked Sharla. Krillin looked around and nodded. "Alright... Sharla, how did you know of the Ox King's housr being on fire? You don't look old enough to know that, hell I think you weren't even born during that time, also it did not appear on the papers." Bulma's eyes widened as she heard Krillin question before turning on the autopilot then walks towards where the others are then added her voice. "Now that Krillin mentioned it I have to agree." Sharla froze and whispers to the adults, "Can we wait till they're asleep?" She points at Naruto and Gohan, "It's kind of a private matter." Krillin amd Bulma nodded understanding while Naruto and Gohan were studying, not knowing of the conversation at hand.
Later in the Night Time
Naruto and Gohan were fast asleep while Bulma set the ship to autopilot, earlier in the day they almost landed on a planet that looked like Namek, but luckily Naruto noticed there was a small amount of energy on the planet, Sharla also noticed as well and when Naruto said that, Gohan and Krillin felt the little energy as well before they went on their way. Currently Bulma, Krillin, and Sharla were sittin im a triangle formation with the two Earthlings looking at the Saiyan. "Ok," began Krillin, "they're asleep, so how do you know so much bout Goku's history?" Sharla sighed. "Krillin, do you remember who Nappa and Vegeta said I look like?" Krillin nodded before replying, "Yeah, Akasha I believe it was." Sharla nodded and Bulma took a guess, "You're Akasha aren't you?" Krillin looked at Bulma,"you gotta be kidding me, if that's true Bulma she has to be about... older than Goku." Sharla, or really Akasha, chuckled then Krillin looked at the female Saiyan before she said sheepishly, "Surprise." "How is that possible?" Krillin asked, almost yelling. Akasha sighed. "I should tell you guys my history first." Bulma and Krillin nodded in understanding.
"You see I used to be a scientist for a space tyrant known as Frieza..." She paused, took a breath before continuing on, "I created a lot of tech, I actually helped create the scouter. Then one day... my good friend Bardock told everyone that Planet Vegeta, the Saiyans Homeworld, was about to be destroied by Frieza. He told me first, at first I was a bit skeptical, but then some of Frieza's men came into my lab for my blueprints, that's when I knew I had to leave." "So you grabbed a Space ship and headed to a planet at random which happened to be Earth," Krillin spoke up.
Akasha nodded. "Yes, I actually helped the old man raise Goku, though it was hard for me not to say his Saiyan name. When Kakarot began walking I had to leave. I told Gohan my story and he understood my choice so off I went." Bulma nodded in understanding. Krillin then decides to ask the all important question, "How did you make yourself younger? I mean it's impossible unless..." "Unless I found the Dragon Balls," Akasha finished with a nod, "yes, I traveled over the Earth for years amd learned of the Dragon Balls so I managed to find all 7 of the 8 years ago and wish to have my youth back. My parents wanted me to become a fierce warrior. But luckily, or rather unluckily, Frieza understood my talents and made me the head of his research team."
Bulma then decided to speak up. "So how did the Dragon Balls make you so young?" Akasha looked away, a bit embarrassed. "You see... I may have mis spoken my wish and Shenron made me younger, but I became a baby. Lucky for me a couple actually came along and found me crying on the ground. They raised me as their own..." Akasha gained a small smile before tears fell. Krillin noticed and figured something out. "You turned ibto a Great Ape and accidentally killed them right?" At Akasha's nod, Krillin regretted asking. "They were the original owner of Dojo S..." Akasha sniffed before continued, "I decided to take up Martial arts to run the Dojo as much as I hated it, but thanks to me taking over, I decided I should fight to protect and not to kill. That ends my story."
"So you don't feel like Naruto should know?" Krillin asked. Akasha blush before replying, "well would tell a kid I'm actually way older than him?" Bulma nodded in agreement. "Ok we won't tell them, but sooner or later the truth will reveal it self, now I better make sure the auto pilot didn't send us some place random," said the blue haired scientist as she went back to the controls. Krillin looked at Akasha before speaking. "You know you may have a mind of an adult," he then smiles, "but maybe you can still be a kid as well." The bald warrior then fell asleep leaving Akasha in thought.
The truth has finally came out that Sharla is really Akasha a former Saiyan Scientist turned young thanks to the Dragon Balls. The question on everyone's mind is how long will it be a secret from Naruto and Gohan and what will they see on Planet Namek? Find out on the next Naruto Ball Z!
