Note: I spell it "Freeza" because that's how it's spelled in the manga and I like that better than "Frieza".
Chapter: 2
Meanwhile, on Planet Flab Quarv 7:
The doors of a busy space tavern swung open, as two saiyans made their way in, and took
a seat at a table. An Appulian waitress immediately walked up to them.
"What will it be for you two?" she asked politely.
"I'll have a glass of your finest blood wine." Replied the shorter man.
"And I'll have what he's having." Said the large, bald-headed one.
The waitress walked off, leaving them alone at the table.
"So, how much longer until we get to that Earth Planet Vegeta?"
"Not long now Nappa," Vegeta replied," I'd say we'll be there in about five weeks."
"Man, I still can't believe what happened to Raditz…with that kid…" Nappa said remorsefully.
"Will you get over that Nappa? Raditz was of no use to us anymore."
Nappa silenced himself. It was best not to argue with Vegeta. Nappa didn't even think
stopping off at this planet for a drink was a good idea. They had disappeared on the job
ten months ago, and Freeza's men were surely looking for them. But Vegeta had insisted
that the noise of the crowded bar would make it an ideal place to discuss their
confidential plan.
"Who does that fool Kakarott think he is anyway?" Vegeta finally said. "What a fool, sacrificing himself for those puny Earthlings. Has he no Saiyan pride?"
"Apparently not." Nappa answered," How could he? That tail-less Toffel only just found out he was saiyan."
"Hmph! That's no excuse." Vegeta grumbled." Besides, its those dragonballs that interest me."
"Oh yeah! What was our wish again?" Nappa asked.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Immortality, remember? Honestly Nappa, try to remember it for more than ten minutes this time."
"Oh yeah, heh heh." Nappa chuckled, "I knew that."
Vegeta looked around, making sure no one was listening. "Then, maybe we'll finally break from Freeza's rule! I'll defeat him and his father, and I shall be king of the universe!"
"And what about me?" Nappa asked anxiously.
"I'll make you prime minister." Vegeta said.
"I like the sound of that." Nappa said approvingly.
Just then, a shadow darkened their table. They looked up, and saw Zarbon and Jeice standing in front of their table.
"Just what d'ya think you're doing here?" Jeice demanded, with what would sound to an Earthling like a thick Australian accent.
"Aren't you two supposed to be conquering Planet Mobius?" Zarbon asked.
"Well well, if it isn't Freeza's beauticians. Why don't you mind your own business?" Vegeta answered.
"They probably jut got defeated again on Planet Mobius. Was it by that yellow super hedgehog again?" asked Zarbon mockingly.
Zarbon and Jeice both threw their heads back and laughed. Nappa snarled with rage, while Vegeta turned away and frowned.
"Oi, where's the other saiyan with the super mullet? Did he go and get himself killed?" Jeice asked.
Nappa hesitated, but Vegeta immediately replied yes. Zarbon and Jeice both chuckled at hearing this.
"Well, if you need the Ginyu Force to bail you out yet again, just say the word!" Jeice said with a grin.
"Well what more could you expect…from a monkey?" Zarbon added with a laugh. That insult always made Vegeta and Nappa's blood boil.
"Don't worry Nappa," said Vegeta, "when we get our wish, we'll make everyone pay."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After overseeing Vegeta and Nappa's departure later that day, Jeice left to join his fellow
Ginyu Force members while Zarbon left to report to Freeza. Zarbon teleported to the
control base, located on Planet Freeza, using a teleportation pod. When he got there he
walked through the halls of the base until he reached the control room. The doors slid
open and he walked in. In the room was a massive screen surrounded by hi-tech
computers and soldiers working at them. Freeza sat in his floating sphere vehicle, with
Dodoria at his side.
"My dear Zarbon, have the Ginyu Forces departed for Yardrat?" Freeza asked, sipping a glass of wine.
"Yes Master Freeza," Zarbon answered, " in fact, Jeice and I made a rather interesting discovery on the planet the Ginyu were stationed at. We discovered those saiyans that have been missing."
"Oh? And what, pray tell, have those three insolent apes been up to?" Freeza asked.
"Well Master Freeza, it appears there are just two now. The one with the long hair apparently got himself killed."
"Hmph, pathetic monkey.' Freeza scoffed," I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner with his power level. So did they head back to the planet they were supposed to have conquered months ago?"
"Why yes sire, Jeice and I oversaw their departure." Said Zarbon.
"Computer operator, show me their quardinants at once." Freeza commanded, " I want to make sure they're doing as they're told."
The alien controlling the computer pressed several buttons, and the huge screen showed two space pods on its monitor.
"What? Where do those fools think they're going? They're going in the wrong direction!" Freeza glowed.
"Our data that there only two planets with life in that direction; Arlia and earth.' Said the alien.
"Maybe they're conquering a few extra planets to impress you Lord Freeza." Said Dodoria.
"Or maybe they're disobeying my orders!" Yelled Freeza. "Operators, I want you to keep constant surveillance of their activities, as their scouter transmissions. I want to know what those monkeys are up to."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Piccolo swooped down, dropping Trunks unceremoniously on his rear in front of Capsule Corp.
"From now on, stay out of my way boy." Piccolo growled.
"And good bye to you too!" Trunks yelled back sarcasticly, as Piccolo flew off. Trunks turned around, and saw his grandmother watering the plants. She stared at him, baffled at what had just happened in front of her.
"Oh hi gran-I mean Mrs. Briefs!" Trunks said.
She was silent for a moment. "Can I…help you?"
Trunks was hesitant, thinking of what to say."…well you see I seem to have had a problem with one of your products…may I speak to Bulma Briefs?"
"Oh okay I'll go get her." She answered. She turned the hose off and went inside, calling Bulma's name. Trunks waited patiently and he felt the frog squirming in his pocket.
"Hey what do you want?" he asked angrily, taking the frog out. The frog looked up, and seemed to be pointing his finger to his mouth. Trunks was creeped out. "You're…hungry?"
Trunks was taken by surprise by this frog. What is with this thing? But just then, Bulma came out. Trunks looked up at her.
Whoa, she looks so young!
"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.
"Well you see…um…one of your machines broke down in the middle of nowhere…and uh..." Trunks didn't know what to say. How could he tell her it was a time machine?
"Hey, are you one of our employees?" Bulma interrupted.
"Huh? What makes you say that?" asked Trunks.
"You're wearing the jacket my father gives all his workers." Bulma replied.
Trunks grinned at the irony. It was exactly what she had said the first time he traveled to the past and met her.
"No, I'm just a fan." said Trunks with a smile.
