Mark slowely started to wake up. He remembered he was in liquid, floating in a small sphere shaped spacepod much like the one he arrived in on earth. He opened his eyes. Out of the window in front of him he saw a big green planet. That must be Namek.

"Waking sequence initiated. Vitals normal. Healing process complete. Welcome back sir." The computer sounded very polite but he didn't understand it. Slowely the water subsided and the breathing mask was removed. He moved his muscles. They where a bit stiff but all in all he felt terrific. Once all the water was gone he was sprayed by regular water and then blowdryed. From the side a scouter appeared. Mark put it on.

"ETA 5 minutes. Weather conditions on Namek is a pleasant 14 degrees celcius with a strong gust from the West. Note planet Namek has twice the gravity of Earth, gravity in the pod has been adjusted too 3g to compensate. Food supplements have been added during regeneration, are they of satisfaction?" Mark didn't feel hungry, its been a while since he hasn't been hungry at all.

"Would you like a refreshing beverage before landing on planet Namek?"

"Hm, don't mind if i do." From above him a long glass with an orange coloured juice appeared. Mark sipped from it. It kinda tasted like bananas.

"Please note there is another pod on the same course as this one. Computer is calculating the landing areas. They will be right next to eachother."

"Do you know who is in it?"

"This pod broke free from the main fleet a few minutes ago, communications are down in the pod. Computer can't identify because of the damage sustained."

"Fleet? There is a fleet out there? Tell me about it. What was the pod damaged from?" Mark had so many questions but the pod was already entering the atmosphere.

"2nd Fleet of Frieza is near orbit around Namek. It has been attacked by the Green Lantern corps and currently in combat. Many ships have been destroyed, only a few pods have made it through. Among them this pod and 5 others like it."

"What about Frieza? Is he in one of them?"

"Negative. Frieza's ship is still in combat with the Green lantern corps. No visual confirmation of the whereabouts." The ship hit the ground of Namek. After a few seconds the door opened up.

"Arrived on planet Namek. Have a nice day." Mark stepped out of the pod. He felt a bit lighter then he felt in the pod. He felt amazing. He walked out of the crater. It was weird, he felt like Raditz coming out of his pod on Earth. He was now walking in his family's and ancestors footsteps. He wasn't here to cause death and destruction though. No, he came to help the people of this planet and learn about his heritage as a Saiyan. Clark must have already been here a few hours. Better to find him first. He wrapped his tail around his waist and lifted into the air to scan the area. The scouter bleeped and showed an arrow up. He looked up and saw a small pod come into the atmosphere. It landed down a few yards away from Mark's feet. He went over there. The scouter started bleeping and showed all kinds of strange numbers Mark couldn't identify. He saw the pod opening up and a man came out of it. He was purple coloured, definitly an alien. He had a big, frog-like head with a hole on each side of it. He was wearing an armor much like Raditz's, only a different colour. He also wore a scouter. He was obviously an ally of Raditz, a pirate. Mark suspected he would want to know where Raditz was, not being suspicious of Mark just yet.

"And who might you be then?" Mark asked, crossing his arms to look confident. The man looked up in surprise.

"Ah, yes. You must be little kakarot. Where is that weakling Raditz?" Mark pretended to be angry.

"I asked for your name!" Now the man looked angry at him.

"Well aren't you an insolent brat? Hasn't Raditz taught you manners when he got you off the mudball? I am Kiwi. I am your superior, recruit. Now tell me where Raditz is at. Frieza is really pissed at him, Vegeta and Nappa." Kiwi lifted up from the ground. He pushed on the scouter.

"pfft, 50000. Pathetic." He touched down onto the ground in front of him. He was slightly smaller then Mark. Kiwi made the same mistake as Raditz. Mark was rested and calm, he didn't show his full potential. He knew Kiwi couldn't do that, his powers where more biological, like his brother. He sensed that in Kiwi.

"So, you escaped from the Green Lantern corps. I am afraid i will have to place you under arrest then." Mark said. Kiwi looked at him in awe. Then he smirked. Mark continued. "You see i rejected my brothers proposal to join him. He attacked me and my friends and he got killed. Now i have come over here because i found out more Saiyans like me are here doing the exact same thing as Raditz planned to do on Earth. I came here to stop them and any other pirate." Now Kiwi started to laugh out loud.

"Haha, well aren't you the funniest guy i have ever met. Actually i was kinda hoping you would say that. I hated Raditz. I actually came here in hopes to fight that moron and his companions. But since Vegeta nor Nappa are here i'll start with you. Frieza said that if the betrayal of the Saiyans has been confirmed we should whipe them out. Well, i am not going to argue with Frieza." Kiwi punched at Mark with his fist. Mark grabbed his arm without flinching. Kiwi was surprised.

"Tell me about this Frieza. Is he a pirate captain?" Mark squeezed Kiwi's arm. Kiwi was forced towards the ground. Mark tensed his muscles and Kiwi's scouter started bleeping.

"Impossible! Where did that strength come from all of the sudden?" The scouter kept showing numbers.

"Oh my god! No, stop. You freak. How?"

Mark squeezed his arm even harder. "Tell me!" He yelled.

"Okay okay. Frieza is our master. He runs the business of selling planets."

"More." Mark forced Kiwi onto his knees. "Tell me about the Saiyan race then."

"The saiyans are slaves, after the enslavement Frieza used the Saiyans as soldiers to conquer worlds. But i guess Raditz already told you that. My own race is an ally, they have shared technology and volunteered to join the organization. We where one of the few that stayed loyal after the defeat against the corps. The saiyans where the first to rebel after that defeat. Frieza killed Vegeta's father, the king. A while later the whole planet was destroyed. That was decades ago. All that remained where Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz. They only found out about you recently. We are all servants of Frieza. However not too long ago Vegeta started going rogue. He disappeared off radar untill they where detected heading for Namek." Mark loosened the grip. He thought for a moment. This Frieza seems like someone he cannot reason with, he has to be taken out and locked up. Vegeta and Nappa however, they are Saiyans. If the saiyans where enslaved by Frieza they might be willing to stop their pirating if they where freed. Vegeta must have found a way to free the remaining Saiyans from slavery. But what is he doing on Namek? Also, the whole story about the planet of the Saiyans being destroyed with almost all saiyans on them seems a bit suspicious too Mark. He turned his attention back too Kiwi again.

"Why namek?"

"No! I won't tell you, Frieza will kill me!" Mark kicked Kiwi in the stomach, hard. He then grabbed his face and stuffed it into the ground.

"Tell me" Mark felt a rage coming on he never felt before. He was ready to kill this man. He couldn't though.

"Ahhh... Dragonballs!" Kiwi screamed from under the dirt.

"What?"

"Dragonballs. Frieza heard of them from some space scavengers. They say they grant wishes. Frieza was tempted by that but when these scavengers showed evidence too Frieza he was convinced it was true. Vegeta must have heard him. Thats why he is here. Thats why we ar all here. Even you."

"What kind of evidence?"

"Eternal life. The man Frieza spoke was immortal. The Dragonballs had given him that a few hundred years ago. Frieza wants that for himself." Mark led him go. He couldn't believe something like that existed. And to think a person like Frieza would be granted such a wish. Nightmare. He must be stopped. Mark looked up. He saw pods entering the atmosphere. Same type as his, but with different symbols. 5 of them to be exact. They landed quite a few miles away. More pirates. He let go of Kiwi. Kiwi jumped up and shot a powerfull blast of energy at Mark. He deflected it easily. Mark jumped up and kicked Kiwi into the face. Kiwi flew into the air and landed some yards away, he was out cold.

"You stay here." Mark mentioned to himself(he didn't know why), he thought the corps will probably find him. Monsters, all of them. His sensing of energy didn't work so well yet. He felt the people in the pods landing where much more powerful then Kiwi was. They landed near a spot where he felt 2 more powerfull energies. In another direction he felt another. But that was it, for the rest the planet seemed dead. If these Namekians could have wishes be granted, they must have a powerfull civilization Mark thought, but the opposite was true. Mark lifted up and decided to head for the 7 powerfull forces together. He finally identified one as Saiyan, must be Vegeta and Nappa then. He did wonder where Clark was at, this orange star would reduce his abilities. As long as he is not dead. He sped up.
