"Something troubles you, what is it Zarbon?" a lizard alien with unisex voice asked.
"I detected a energy signature not far from here. I decided to take things to caution since we aren't the only ones looking for those Dragon Balls, and sent scouts to see what it was" replied Zarbon.
"Fine but I want to think how to deal with that traitorous Vegeta".
"Cui is already in route to deal with punishment, tensions have been high between the two for quite sometime. Whatever the outcome, Vegeta won't leave unscathed" reassured Zarbon.
Back with the Team Prime, they were trying to decide what there next move should be until Krillen felt two presence coming there way. "Heads up, we got company" he warned. Bulma went to hide on one of the legs of the ship. Two aliens came into vision and they were not Namekian. They both wore battle armor similar to the Saiyan's.
"They should be around here" the blue alien said.
"Might be one of the locals" the purple alien said, charging his Ki blaster.
When they were stumped when they saw other people that were not Namekian. Especially when they saw Raf and Fasha's armor. "Who are they?" The purple alien wondered.
"Who cares we got orders to kill whoever we find on this rock" said the blue alien. To make sure no one left, the purple alien thought it was best to blow up the ship. He was about to fire when Fasha punched him in the gut and obliterating him.
The blue alien charged at her but Fasha appeared behind and hit his neck, making a loud 'CRACK' sound. Before he fell into the water, Fasha grabbed his scouter.
Back at the destroyed village, Zarbon reported to Frieza about the dead scouts. "Well isn't that bizarre. Are you sure Vegeta isn't behind this?" Frieza asked. "Positive my lord" said Zarbon.
Somewhere on Namek, Cui's pod landed. He walks from it and activates the comlink. "There you are, sticking out like a sore thumb. A sore thumb that needs to go" he said before flying off.
"Oh Cui, if you think you can win so easily then you're more of an idiot than I thought" mocked Vegeta.
"There you go running your mouth. If my Scouter is correct then my power puts yours to shame" laughed Cui.
After a few minutes of flying, Cui spots Vegeta and lands in front of him. "I'm surprised Vegeta, I thought you would know better and leave" Cui said with a cocky tone.
Vegeta chuckles. "Why don't we settle the score Cui? I'll have you know that I picked up a few tricks from Earth" he said.
"What, like running away? I don't see anything new about that".
"I've learned to conceal my power".
Vegeta starts to rise his power. Cui was dumbfounded when the scouter showed that Vegeta surpassed his power "22,000!?" he stuttered. His explodes do to the overloaded of Vegeta's power. This also happened to Zarbon, who had his scouter locked onto Vegeta.
"What's wrong Zarbon?" Asked a fat pink alien.
"I had my scouter locked onto Vegeta Dodoria, and it showed a Powerlevel of 22,000" answered Zarbon.
"That's why I updated my scouter before we left. The old ones were always glitchy" said Dodoria, as he checked Vegeta's power. To say at the least, he was shocked.
"Mine must be malfunctioning. It says it's at 24,000" said a wide-eyed Dodoria.
"That would mean he surpassed the both of us" said Zarbon.
"You should remember that Vegeta has been on the front lines for quite some time now. Its no doubt that he would get stronger. I guess that Earth taught our friend a thing or two. Besides, with the both of you combined, he should be child's play" said Frieza.
With Vegeta and Cui,it was obvious who the winner would be. "N-now hold on Vegeta, I was just following orders, I didn't mean it" Cui lied.
"How about we team up and we can fight Frieza together" he offered.
"At least die with what dignity you have left" said Vegeta, as he kept walking forward.
Cui looks behind Vegeta before saying "My lord you're here".
"What!?" Vegeta said in shock. He was not prepared for Frieza whatsoever. He turns around to see...nothing.
Cui uses the distraction and fires a Full Power Energy volley. When the dust cleared, all that was left was a crater. "I can't believe that the monkey prince fell for it".
"Hahahaha".
Cui turned around to see Vegeta, completely unharmed. "If you hadn't noticed, my speed has increased as well and that stunt you pulled only ticked me off" said Vegeta.
Cui flies into the air to get away from Vegeta but was too slow, as Vegeta appeared in front of him and kicked him higher in the sky. He lifts two fingers and fires a tiny blast which made Cui implode.
"Cui, I'm afraid your fired" Vegeta said to himself with a growing smirk.
Back with Frieza, his henchmen detected ten strong Powerlevels. "Perfect, let's move" ordered Frieza. He and his men flew off into the direction of the other Namekian village.
Meanwhile, Optimus and the others were walking to a safer location. While they were looking for a place to stay low, Fasha told them that those scouts were from the Planet Trade Organization.
That meant two things, one: Frieza is here, two: someone close to Frieza's powerlevel was here. Either way the situation was pretty bleak. Krillen noticed a cave and decided it was a good place stay for now.
While everyone was unpacking Energon cubes, food, and other necessities, Raf sensed something. "Hey Optimus, do you feel that?" He asked. Optimus nodded. "Unlike the others, those energy signatures are calm and peaceful" said Optimus.
"We got incoming!" Krillen warned. Everyone hid in the cave and kept their power low. Twenty sinister Ki's flew passed them.
When they were gone, Bulma went outside. "Wonder what that was?" she asked herself. She turned to the others, who had the looks of pure terror on their faces. Krillen was the first to recover.
"Bulma...check the Dragon Radar" he said. She goes through her pocket before activating it. She pointed out that they were on the move. "Did you guys sense the guy, second from the front. More importantly, did you sense him?" Krillen asked.
"It was the most horrific thing I've ever felt" admitted Raf.
"Ratchet, stay with Bulma, Fasha, and Raf. Arcee, Krillen, and I will proceed with caution" ordered Optimus. Ratchet nodded. Optimus, Krillen, and Arcee flew off in the same direction as the those evil energies.
Fasha looked at Bulma and asked for a screwdriver. "What for?" Bulma asked. "I'm going to hack the com channel and listen in, the scouters have codes too prevent any enemy from listening in should they 'acquire' one" explained Fasha.
After a few minutes of tampering with the scouter, she gave up. Raf took a look at it and noticed that Cybertronian technology was advanced than this. Good thing Ratchet taught him a thing or two. "If I cross blue to yellow..." He muttered.
He closed the scouter and gives it back to his Saiyan mother. Imagine her shock as she now has full access too all frequencies that the scouter had stored. "Good job Raf" she complimented. He just smiles. She sets the scouter on speaker for everyone in the room too hear.
Her heart sank when she heard a voice that she never wanted too hear again. "Greetings my name is Frieza, and as you can tell I'am quite the collector of Dragon Balls" the unisex voice said.
On Earth, Grandpa Gohan and Master Roshi relayed the message that Bulma sent to Jack. "So you're saying there is someone stronger than Vegeta!?" Jack shouted. They both nod. This was bad. Not only is Jack in bed rest at the worst possible moment but now the others might face someone stronger than Vegeta.
Yajirobe walked in with a bag of senzu beans. "Senzu beans are ready, fifteen to be exact. I came to give you these" he said before tossing Jack a bean. Once Jack eats it, he jumped off the hospital bed. He flexed his muscles and the casts he was wearing break. He puts on an identical blue gi that wore against the Saiyan's that King Kai sent him.
Everyone walks into the main room, Jack types coordinates in the computer and activates the groundbridge. "Tell mom I had to leave early Grandpa" said Jack. "Don't worry Jack, I'll tell her" Grandpa Gohan assured. He runs into the portal before it closes.
