DRAGONBALL: A RETELLING

Ido not own Dragonball or the characters in it. i am just a fan. andI don't like be accused of theft nor does my sister.

Note whenI say Raditz twice in a row it's just that Goku's older brother has a twin that is named the same. And note that whenI refer to Raditz with Zetheros its the good one. The older one is the good one.

DRAGONBALL

THE BEGINNING

CHAPTER 2

BATTLE ON NAMEK

While Vegeta was on his way to Namek Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan made their way over there to revive the friends that lost their lives in the battle with Saiyans. But when they got to Namek they met the very same person who wiped out most of the Saiyan race; Frieza. And they had no choice but to join forces with Vegeta.

His attempts in summoning the Namekian dragon Porunga failed , Frieza turned to his elite fighting force; the Ginyu Force. Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan teamed up together and easily beat Guldo. But when they faced Recoome they didn't have the same luck.

Meanwhile Goku was training hard with Zetheros, Raditz and Rage. When they got to Namek Goku started to look around for his friends, but he couldn't find them. He sensed the familiar energy of Frieza, and he even sensed Ginyu. Goku, Zetheros, Raditz, and Rage all took off to the battle field. When they got there Goku realized why he couldn't sense his friends. They were barely alive. Goku gave both Krillin and Gohan a Sensu Bean and then he surprised them by giving one to Vegeta. Recoome, seeing what they did, tried to get one, but Vegeta was too fast for him. He caught it and ate it. Then Goku turned to face Recoome. "It's pointless you've already been beaten. You should just give up." said Goku. "You're a fool to think you can beat me. I am Recoome of the Ginyu Force." said Recoome " I don't care who you are. Taking the lives of innocent people is something I don't tolerate." said Goku.

Goku started to fight Recoome but it was a very short battle. He easily beat Recoome. Then he battled Burter and Jeice. He beat Burter the same way he beat Recoome but he let Jeice go. Vegeta warned him that Jeice would be back with the leader of the Ginyu Force. But Goku was ready for it.

Krillin tried to tell Goku and the other three all the things that had been going on but Goku told him to clear him mind. Goku put his hand on his best friend's head and said "I can see this has been hard for you guys. But as for Frieza and the Dragonballs, well you just let me worry about them." They were getting ready to leave when Jeice came back with the leader of the Ginyu force; Ginyu. "I told you Kakarot." said Vegeta. Goku turned to Krillin and the others and said "You guys go look for the Dragonballs." "But what about you dad?" asked Gohan. "Don't worry about me guys. Vegeta can help me." said Goku "Uh…" said Krillin and Gohan together." Don't worry." said Goku.

As Krillin and the others left Vegeta and Goku got ready to fight Ginyu and Jeice. But as they got ready Vegeta took off thinking the battle was in good hands and went to look for the Dragonballs with Krillin and the others. So Goku was left to fight alone and he was doing good until Ginyu inflected a horrible wound on himself and then preformed a move that allowed him to switch bodies with his opponent. After he got Goku's body he took his Scouter and, along with Jeice, he went to find the 4 other Saiyans, Vegeta, Rage, Zetheros, and Raditz. Also he went to find Krillin and Gohan.

When Krillin first felt the energy he thought it was Ginyu, which it was but he was fooled by Goku's body along with everyone else except for Zetheros and Vegeta. "Goku! thank goodness. I thought it was that Ginyu clown at first." said Krillin 'hmm something's wrong with Kakarot. His energy signal is wrong.' thought Zetheros. "Goku you feeling okay buddy? And what's with the Scouter?" asked Krillin "Do you really want to know?" asked Ginyu "Krillin that's not my dad!" yelled Gohan and Zetheros knew his suspensions were right. "What do you mean Gohan? Just look at him." said Krillin " Kakarot's son is right! That's Ginyu." said Vegeta "If it is Ginyu then how did he get in Goku's body?" asked Krillin "He has the ability to switch bodies with someone." said Zetheros "It seems you remember a lot Zetheros." said Ginyu "Oh shut up Ginyu" said Zetheros.

While the others was fighting Ginyu, Goku was getting used to Ginyu's old body figured out where the others were. He took off to the battlefield. When he got there Vegeta was battling Ginyu and Goku took the opportunity to try and convince Gohan and the others that he was Goku. It took awhile but finally after Zetheros realized it was him he said "That is Kakarot." "But how do you know Zetheros?" asked Krillin "just trust me guys." said Zetheros. And they did just as Ginyu was about to perform another body change on Vegeta but Goku jumped in front of the beam and Ginyu switched bodies with Goku again. But in all the confusion no one knew who was who. They did know if Goku was Goku or if Vegeta was Vegeta or if Ginyu was really Ginyu. But when Goku stood up the mystery was solved Goku was back in his body which meant so was Ginyu. Ginyu was so mad that his plan backfired. He and Goku fought but where Goku needed to get used to his body again he got beat. So Vegeta resumed his battle with Ginyu where Ginyu tried to do another body change with Vegeta again. Goku, seeing what Ginyu was up to, hoped something would happen to make Ginyu to make a mistake. Just then a frog jumped up in his hand. He threw it in the beam and Ginyu turned into a frog.

It was a good thing Vegeta and Goku was friends, because they were friends Vegeta let him in the rejuvenation chamber. While Goku was in the chamber, Gohan and the others except for Vegeta left to wish Piccolo back and to bring him to Namek. When Vegeta realized what was going on he was pissed. But he didn't have time to worry about because at that time Frieza reared his ugly face.

While they were fight Frieza, Piccolo, who was on his way there, stopped at the injured Nail, a Namek that had just had a battle with Frieza. He persuaded Piccolo to fuse with him and Piccolo was more than a match for Frieza in his second form. But when he transformed again, Piccolo was no match for him. Piccolo was taking a beating until Gohan's anger exploded and he made a giant Masenko and aimed it at Frieza. But unfortunately it wasn't enough to finish Frieza. Vegeta had Krillin attack him so that he could get more powerful, or as he thought, become a Super Saiyan.

Vegeta and Frieza faced off but Krillin Gohan Piccolo and the other Saiyans, Goku's brothers, realized that Vegeta was no match for Frieza. Even Vegeta realized that he wasn't a Super Saiyan. He was getting beat real bad when Goku showed up. "It's alright guys it's really me. You guys look great. This is the first time I've arrived at the battlefield that you haven't been all beaten up." said Goku. "Yeah well we had help in that department." said Piccolo "It's great to see you again. I can tell you're a lot stronger than before. And not just physically either." said Goku. "Hey dad welcome back. We missed you." said Gohan. " What do you think of our new outfits?" asked Krillin "Not bad. But I don't think Master Roshi or

Chi-Chi would approve." said Goku and Gohan just started to giggle. "I'm proud of you guys. Especially you Gohan. You just let me handle thing s from here. It's my turn." "Kakarot did you hit your head or something?" asked Zetheros. "Zetheros is right. It will take all we've got to beat him." said Piccolo "I'm fine" said Goku. He walked over to Frieza, who was about to kill Vegeta, and said "You must be Frieza. The one that is responsible for the terrible chain of events that have been taking place here. Funny I always thought you would be taller." "The proof is in the pudding don't you think?" asked Frieza ' Either Goku's making a huge mistake or he's improved since I fought him on Earth.' thought Piccolo. "What ever problems you have with Vegeta, you can take them up with me." said Goku 'where have I seen him before? I'm sure I have.' thought Frieza "You know you look familiar to me. Where could I have seen you before." said Frieza "Hey Kakarot you made it." said Vegeta who was in so much pain that it hurt him to talk. "Kakarot but that's a Saiyan name isn't it?" asked Frieza then he remembered about 11 years ago he saw Goku as a teenager. "Yes now I remember you. Your Bardock third son aren't you? I was in a battle with him 11 years ago. Your his offspring. Yes the resemblance between you is unmistakable." " I don't care if you remember me or not Frieza." said Goku. 'Kakarot's different than before. Maybe his last battle pushed him over the edge. Maybe he was able to do what I couldn't. 'He's a Super Saiyan' thought Vegeta "Shall we get started?" asked Frieza "Your call." said Goku. Frieza disappeared and went to attack Goku but Goku was ready and disappeared then reappeared behind Frieza and hit him. "Whoa I couldn't follow. How about you?" said Krillin to Gohan "No" said Gohan. "Nice move but your shoe came untied." said Frieza "I'm not falling for that. I don't even have shoe laces." said Goku "Darn I guess you're a little smarter than the average Saiyan." said Frieza. "Very funny." said Goku "Oh my. No sense of humor" "Goku look out!" yelled Krillin. He and Gohan ducked out of the way and Frieza shot a beam of energy at Goku hoping to kill him, but Goku deflected it. Then Frieza shot a ton of the same beams and Goku deflected all of the beams with one hand. "One hand? Not only did he deflect them but he was able to aim them away from his friends." said Frieza. Frieza got mad then he shot a beam at Zetheros, Rage and Raditz killing each of them, pissing Goku off. "Why did you do that Frieza?" asked Goku "No reason really." said Frieza. Goku started to walk over to Frieza when Vegeta started to talk. "Who would have thought a lowly soldier like you Kakarot? I commend you." "Huh?" said Frieza "Frieza you fool Kakarot's no ordinary Saiyan. He is a Super Saiyan. How great. This is a dream come true. To see you beaten by a Saiyan." Frieza, who was getting tired of Vegeta's talking, shot a beam that pierced his heart with one blow. "Oh no! Why did you do that for? He was no threat to you anymore. He couldn't even defend himself. There's no honor in that." said Goku "It was the only way to shut him up. He insist on babbling about that stupid legend. On and on like a broken record." said Frieza "Ka…Ka…Kakarot listen to me. There's no stinking honor in any of this. Its just a game. Play to win. There are no rules. You have to forget your soft heartedness. Forget your feelings. They'll get you killed. They'll get you killed Kakarot." said Vegeta. "I can't. I can't change who I am. Not on the battlefield my feelings are my guide." said Goku "You fool, you don't know what you're dealing with. The Saiyans was a group of people that would trade with other planets. But then one day he came, Frieza. He made us do whatever he wanted and we did and more." said Vegeta "Please stop talking Vegeta. It's zapping all of your strength." said Goku "No listen. You have to hear this. He destroyed our home planet. It was him. You can ask him if you want. He'll… tell… you he's proud of it." "He's just a corps and he's still blabbing. I'll have to gag him to shut him up." said Frieza. "Please stop." said Goku "He killed your father and mine. As well as everyone else on the planet. He took me from my father when I was just a boy. He made me do what ever he wanted. He told me he would kill my father if I didn't. I did everything he asked but he killed him anyway, along with the entire planet. No one survived except those who was off the planet at the time. He was scared of us. Scared that a Super Saiyan would be born someday and overthrow him" said Vegeta struggling "A touching story." said Frieza "Please no more." said Goku "Ka…Kakarot pl…please stop Frieza. He turned me into what I am. Please don't let him do it to anyone else. Please kill Frieza. Please." and with his last words and his last request of Goku Vegeta was taken from that dimension. "Vegeta." said Goku sadly "Good bye old friend." said Goku 'old friend?' Gohan thought. "You weren't as cold hearted as you thought yourself to be. A heart of stone can't shed tears the way you did. Don't worry I'll do every thing in my power to kill him." said Goku. In an instant Goku had became the last Saiyan alive. He was already pissed at Frieza for killing his three brothers but after he killed Vegeta Goku was really pissed off. Goku also provided a proper burial for his friend/ rival. After he got done he turned to Frieza and said "You know Frieza Vegeta's right you don't care who you hurt, as long as you get what you want. You take the lives of peace loving people, you even take the lives of children. All for your own personal gain. Well no more! Vegeta's right you have no Honor. For him and for everyone else you've killed! I am going to finish you." said Goku "you can try." said Frieza.

And so the battle between Goku and Frieza began. Frieza over powered Goku at first but in the end Goku got the better hand as he started preparing the Spirit Bomb, while Piccolo distracted Frieza. "okay Piccolo get out of the way!" yelled Goku. He launched the Spirit Bomb. Krillin thought that none of them survived but then they saw a green hand shoot up out of the water. It was Piccolo! And on the other end of Piccolo's other arm was Goku! "Goku!" yelled Krillin " Daddy" yelled Gohan "Well guys if we leave right now it should take us five days to get home." said Goku. Then Krillin got a look of horror on his face. "what is it Krillin?" asked Goku "I forgot about Bulma." said Krillin "Oh for a minute there I thought you were going to say that Frieza survived." They all started laugh until Krillin got another look of horror on his face. He started to stutter and none other the others knew what he was talking about until Gohan looked up and said "Its Frieza!". He tried to kill Piccolo and then he blew Krillin up killing him. Goku, who was already pissed at losing his brothers and Vegeta, was extremely pissed now. He was so mad that he begun to transformed in to the legendary Super Saiyan. "That was a BIG mistake Friezaaaa!" and with that he transformed. "Oh please. All you did was change your hair color." said Frieza "I did a lot more than that Frieza! Gohan go. Take Piccolo and get out of here." said Goku "But-" "Just go!" yelled Goku. He had already lost his two best friends, Krillin and Vegeta, and His brothers, and he didn't want to lose his son too. So Gohan left and Goku and Frieza started the battle. Frieza trap him in a lava pit and Gohan had came back demanding Frieza to tell him where his father was. "Oh you want your daddy?" asked Frieza "Well there he is." pointing to the lava pit. "No you Monster!" yelled Gohan. He and Frieza fought until they saw a beam of blue energy show up. They both stopped fighting to see who shot the beam and they both saw who it was. It was Goku. "daddy!" yelled Gohan "Gohan I told you to get out of here but you came back and stood up to Frieza and I'm proud of you for that. Now go. Get out of here and take the ship I came on." said Goku "Right" said Gohan.

While Goku and Frieza was fighting Mr. Popo and Kami, who was looking for the Dragonballs, had just wished back all of Frieza's victims that was killed on Namek. Meaning Vegeta, Zetheros, Raditz and Rage were revived. They went off to find Goku and Frieza. And when they found Frieza they saw someone fighting with him. But Raditz, Rage, or Zetheros didn't know who it was, but Vegeta did. "Congratulations Kakarot." said Vegeta. "That's Kakarot?" asked Zetheros "Yes" said Vegeta. "What's going on! There is no way you four are alive!" said Frieza "well evidently you didn't know that Earth has Dragonballs as well Frieza. And our Dragonballs can bring back some one who was killed by someone or something. Well as long as the death wasn't natural. Meaning everyone you've killed here on Namek is alive again." said Goku. "What!" said Frieza. While the five Saiyans was holding Frieza off Dende was rushing toward Porunga to tell him to teleport everyone on Namek to Earth. Everyone that is except for Goku and Frieza. Frieza seeing the dragon flew toward Porunga to wish for immortality. Goku and the other Saiyans seeing what frieza was up to followed him. Frieza yelled out his wish for immortality but it didn't work. Frieza was wondering why it wouldn't grant his wish when Goku and the other Saiyans showed up. "Frieza you fool." yelled Vegeta. The next thing anyone knew it was just Goku and Frieza. "Wow Frieza you actually beat that little guy to the punch. But it likes like you have to say the wish in the native language." said Goku. Vegeta was pissed that he missed his shot at killing Frieza. But he got over it.

Meanwhile on Namek Goku and Frieza was still fighting. And since there was no one left to stall time for Goku could finally go all out. The battle went on and on until finally Frieza was cut in half by his own deadly energy disc. "You're a fool to think you could beat a Super Saiyan, Frieza. I'm going to make it back to earth somehow. But you won't. I'm going toi leave you to suffer the same fate as the planet Namek. A planet you carelessly destroyed." said Goku "Pl…please sp…spare m…me." begged Frieza. Goku being the pure-hearted warrior that he was he gave up some of his own energy. "There Frieza. I gave you some of my own energy. Do what you want with it. I'm tired of fighting. I'm going home. Goodbye Frieza." said Goku and he took off. Frieza not wanting to be beat by a Saiyan shot an energy wave at Goku. Goku who sensed it coming, said "You fool" launching a beam of energy in the one that frieza shot and over whelming frieza and killing him.

Gohan and the other Saiyans plus Piccolo and the other Nameks and Bulma watched as Namek exploded. No one thought that Goku survived. But when Bulma tried to wish him back the wish was refused. Goku survived! And he sent a message that he would be coming home alone. And so with everyone alive again Gohan waited impatiently for Goku to come back.
