Vegeta felt it. The Ginyu Force had arrived. He felt another strong force coming. Must be a Namekian. The last of them. He will have to be killed quickly. He probably wants his precious dragonballs back. Vegeta got 6 of them now. He can't give them up, not now he is so close of eternal life. The Ginyu force is a problem though. He might be able to take 1 or 2, but Captain Ginyu is way above his league. He can't get too the balls right now, or he will expose their position. He decided to land and wait for the Namekian. He came from the East while the Ginyu force had landed closer too the South. Fat chance they won't know where he is. The Namekian had arrived and landed near Vegeta.
"I am Piccolo. You will pay for your crimes you commited against my family, Saiyan." Vegeta smirked and started to power up. He started gathering energy into his hand palm, ready to blast this alien into the next dimension. Then he noticed something in the Namekians hand. The last Dragonball! Vegeta wondered what the meaning of this was and stopped powering up. Piccolo continued.
"You will pay for your crimes. However, our planet is being invaded by a much stronger and more terrible force. We alone cannot handle this situation. However, there are still some forces of good working at this moment to help safe this planet and its people. We ask of you now, Vegeta. Will you join the forces of good? Or will you stay on your path of evil, and be punished for your crimes?" Vegeta started to laugh but in his head he started thinking. There is no way he would be able to get the dragonball off the namekian's hands and get his wish granted before the Ginyu Force arrives. Convincing the Namekian to help him get his wish granted is out of the question as well. There is still a chance for him though. He decided.
"Don't make me laugh Namekian. What you have in your hands there is the last of the dragonballs i need. Then i'll have my wish granted and i'll be unstoppable. Hand it over then, before the others arrive. Trust me when i say you would rather bow before me then before those goons."
Piccolo started at him without emotion. Then he spoke. "Just having the 7 dragonballs isn't enough to get a wish. You need the password." Vegeta was shocked. A password? He didn't think of that before. Only the namekians know it of course and they would rather die then give it. Vegeta would have no choice now but to wait and see. The Ginyu force will undoubtedly bring the dragonballs too Frieza, who will be arriving here shortly Vegeta felt. Without a password however they will be useless. Seeing Frieza angry made Vegeta smile. Vegeta felt he was getting close too Frieza's strength. Immortality would ensure victory over him. This namekian is strong, but not stronger then Captain ginyu. Perhaps with the help of Kakarot and that kryptonian they could beat the Ginyu force, but then he will be surrounded by people who don't want him to get his wish. Vegeta's mind started calculating all possibilities. Rats... He couldn't find a way out right now. He better play along. He spoke again.
"Where is the Kryptonian then? I lost his energy signature a while ago. Did he flee?"
Piccolo shook his head. "He left the planet but he will be back. We will have to do without him for a while."
Vegeta gave a sour face. "So what is this password then? Do all you Namekians know it or did we kill them all?" Piccolo looked angry, probably thinking about all those namekians Vegeta had killed. Vegeta saw he had to restrain himself.
Piccolo spoke. "I am the only one left who knows. The 5 evil ones are close, have you decided?"
Vegeta looked away for a moment to think. "Hmpf, suppose our best shot to get rid of these guys is to work together." Piccolo didn't move a muscle. Neither did Vegeta. Piccolo suddenly looked up.
"They are here."
From above 5 purple beams of energy where seen. They came down fast and 5 humanoids landed in perfect sync next to vegeta and Piccolo. 1 was extremely small and fat. He had a green face like a frog with 4 eyes, 2 at the front and 2 on the top of his head which moved individually. This was Guldo, he wasn't strong but word has it he could freeze time and paralyze people with ease. 1 of them had red skin and long white hair, he was a lot taller then the smallest but only the second smallest compared too the others. This was Jeice. The third one was purple, with horns on his side. This was Captian Ginyu and the strongest of all. Vegeta felt his strength, he rememberd him being strong but this is crazy. The 4th looked a lot like a human or Kryptonian. He had a small patch of red hair on his head. This was Recoome. The last one was the tallest with blue skin and a sort of salamandar like face. This was Burter. Together they where the Ginyu force, who where Frieza's most elite warriors who caused terror and death all over the galaxy. Vegeta knew them, never worked with them though. He always hated their guts for being even more arrogant then a saiyan.
Captain Ginyu spoke. "Well well, what do we have here. Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans. So it is true you have gone rogue. Frieza wants you dead, did you know that? Ah, and what do we have here? A local? Hm, what does the scouter say Jeice?" Jeice clicked on his scouter, they all had one except Guldo and they all had matching armors with their logo on the chest, a sort of black and orange triangle.
"40,000, sir. Vegeta is at 70,000" Captain Ginyu and the others laughed.
"Vegeta, you disappoint me. Such a low increase since the last time we met? And here is hoped i would have to deal with you myself. No matter. Please, Namekian. Your name."
"Piccolo" he answered bluntly.
"Good, now allow us to introduce ourselves properly." They started... to dance. It was a ridiculous sight. Vegeta knew, they hadn't changed at all since the last time. They have been doing that same routine since Captain Ginyu created the team. Piccolo was at a loss for words when they finished introducing. Captain Ginyu looked behind Vegeta and counted the dragonballs.
"Well well. Do you see that boys? Little vegeta here has collected the dragonballs for us to give to Frieza. And look, the Namekian has the last one in his hands. Hand it over cuccumber." Too the surprise of Vegeta Piccolo let the ball drop onto the ground.
"Haha, excellent. Well chaps. I'll be going to Frieza to hand him the dragonballs. In the mean time you can have fun with these 2. Eventually the other Saiyan Kakarot will arrive too. You can kill all of them, my treat." The other cheered in joy. Vegeta knew they wouldn't simply kill him and the others, they enjoy torturing. They are real sadists, even more then Vegeta. Captain Ginyu lifted up from the ground. "Don't make too much of a mess and make sure you get back too your pods in time for your beauty sleep. You know you need them." The dragonballs softly lifted off the ground. Piccolo wanted to fire a blast of energy at him before he got away but Vegeta stopped him.
"Don't waste your energy, don't reveal it to them either, their scouters are much more advanced and quicker to find hidden powers. Safe your energy, you will need it against these clowns." The ginyu Force meanwhile where doing rock paper scissors.
Eventually Guldo cheered and yelled "I got Vegeta!"
Recoome clapped his hands, he got Piccolo. Burter and Jeice remained silent and flew off towards a higher plateau a little further away. "Just be quick about it, i don't want to miss out on the hot chocolate before bed" Murmered Jeice.
"Yeah yeah." Said Guldo who was streching along with Recoome.
Vegeta smirked. "Don't worry Namekian. I got this. Be ready to take out Recoome. I hope you won't be completely worthless against him, i can't take him on my own." Piccolo remained silent. All he did was stare at Recoome while Vegeta stepped forward.
Guldo laughed. "Haha, Vegeta. You must be eager to die. Have you forgot my powers? I will squash you before you can even react." Guldo walked forward. Vegeta reimained silent. Guldo stood ready to fight.
"Lets get this over with quick. I have been wanting to kill you since the first day we met. I'll make it painless." He stretched out his arms and started sucking up air. Vegeta didn't move, he just stood there looking serious at Guldo. Then the corners of his mouth rose. He vanished the moment Guldo had filled up his lungs and said "Time freeze!" The world stopped. All was frozen solid except for Guldo. He was surprised Vegeta vanished in front of him, he looked around. He ran towards a group of boulders and looked behind them. Nothing. He didn't understand. Where did he go? Guldo ran towards another few rocks, and another. He also jumped into the nearby river. Nothing. Damnit, he was out of breath, he had to let go. Guldo exhaled and time unfroze. Guldo was still standing near the river. Piccolo was stunned Guldo had also vanished, he had been able to track Vegeta but not Guldo. He looked up. Vegeta was hanging in the air a few miles above the others. He smiled and charged up.
"Bye bye, Guldo!" In a blink of an eye a massive amount of energy was released. The 3 other Ginyu's scouters began to bleep. The ray of energy was incredibly fast and accurate on Guldo who didn't stand a chance. Guldo was vaporized.
"What in the world? Did you see that guys? Guldo got himself killed." Recoome said it without much emotion.
"Ha, did you really think i didn't anticipate having to fight you goons when i decided to go rogue? I knew long before how i was going to beat this little creep. I knew he was going to use his time freeze. Coward, killing people while they can't move a muscle. Bit difficult to kill someone when you don't know where they are however. Shame for him." Vegeta smirked.
"Aw man, now our dance routine is all going to be out of balance next time we do it. Now we gotta find a new 5th member. Oh well. He guys! Mind if i take on Vegeta?" Recoome screamed behind him too Burter and Jeice.
"Well alright, i'm not in the mood for fighting monkeys anyway. Be sure to treat us too icecream tarts when we get home." Burter said with a lot of anger in his voice.
"Gee thanks guys. You are the best." Recoome smiled and looked back at Vegeta again. Ýou hear that? You are all mine."
Vegeta charged Recoome head-on, causing him to be knocked backwards into a large rock. Vegeta used the full extend of his energy blasts on Recoome, one after the other. He finished off with the biggest bang. It didn't do much good. Recoome emerged from the smoke totally unscathe. Vegeta was stunned beyond believe. He knew Recoome was strong, but this is ridiculous. Recoome charged Vegeta and kneed him right in the face. Vegeta flew backwards but recoome followed him, grabbed him by the leg and kicked him again in the face. Vegeta soared upwards where Recoome was waiting for him to punch him with double fists towards the ground again. Vegeta crashed onto the ground hard, he was stuck in the ground when Recoome landed next to him and picked him up by his feet and pulled him out. Suddenly Recoome was send flying too his side and rolled onto the ground. It was Piccolo who kicked him from his side.
"Uh, somebody got the number on that bus?" Recoome struggled up again.
"Come on Vegeta. Wake up, you need to start fighting for real now." Piccolo bend over Vegeta and slapped him in the face. Vegeta woke up. Angrily he slapped Piccolo's hand away, thinking he wanted to help him stand up.
"Get away from me Namekian. I don't recall saying you could intervene already."
Piccolo didn't respond. Instead he stood up straight again and looked at Recoome. "Together we can take him. We have to be smart though, he has definit weak spots." Vegeta stood up. Recoome was smiling at them like an idiot.
"Aw, the little green guy wants to play. He guys! Whats up with his powerlevel? I thought it was only 40,000!"
Burter and Jeice pushed on their scouters. "Strange, now it reads 60,000."
"What? 60,000? well it looks like i am actually gonna have to fight for real against you 2. This is going to be fun."
Vegeta and Piccolo smiled. "Well, you are going to have a little bit more trouble then that." Piccolo said and he started to charge up. Vegeta did the same. As Recoome's scouter started bleeping Piccolo and Vegeta charged him. Recoome managed it though. They where equally blocking and hitting eachother. At some points Recoome beat Vegeta off of him and at other times he beat Piccolo off. The 2 had a harder time then they expected. Recoome was more experienced in fighting then they thought. But they noticed he was having trouble. Recoome himself noticed that too. He tried several times to take Vegeta out of the fight. But every time he failed. Eventually he changed tactic.
"Alright, now i'm getting fed up with you. You green hobgoblin." Recoome made a surprise move, one Vegeta didn't know about. Recoome then grabbed Piccolo by the arm. He squeezed it hard while fighting off vegeta with 1 hand. Eventually he got the upper hand on Vegeta for a while and punched him back onto the ground. Then he smiled and grabbed Piccolo by the shoulder with his other hand. Piccolo couldn't do a thing as Recoome ripped his arm clean off. Piccolo screamed in agony. He had purple blood. Recoome started laughing out loud and threw Piccolo's arm at his feet. Vegeta was also stunned for a moment hwile he staggered onto his feet. Recoome was joking about Piccolo only having one arm left and completely stopped paying attention too Vegeta for a moment. Piccolo trembled and got onto his knees. He picked his arm up.
"Ah, please. I surrender. You got me." He said too Recoome who had tears in his eyes from laughing. Burter and Jeice where also laughing.
"Aw, the little green man has lost his arm. What did you say little worm? Surrender. Haha, i'm going to squash you with your own arm now. There is no mercy from the Ginyu Force." Piccolo had trouble looking up towards Recoome.
"Please, let me die a warriors death. Not on my knees."
"Look cuccumber, i'm really cranky right now, you should be glad i allow you to speak."
Suddenly Vegeta screamed out. "No, wait. He is the only one who knows about the password too the dragonballs!"
Piccolo looked at Vegeta. "You fool! They never needed to know! Don't you see? That information will only help Frieza. Not you. I had to die for it to be buried!"
Recoome looked confused. "Password? I didn't hear about a password from the boss. He guys! Do you know what he is talking about?"
Burter and Jeice looked at eachother. "No, I haven't heard of such a thing. He must be lying to safe his new buddy. I always knew Saiyans where soft."
Recoome smiled again. "Hehe, yeah. That must be it. You afraid you are gonna loose your new boyfriend? Well i'm not falling for your lies. At least he knows his time has come. Say bye bye." Vegeta stumbled closer, around the back of Recoome towards Jeice and Burter.
"No i'm serious! If you kill him nobody can get their wish granted. You should beat it out of him right now."
"Stop your jammering. If there was a password we would have heard it from Captain Ginyu or Frieza himself. Recoome, kill that pathetic lowlife." Recoome was looking backwards towards Vegeta. Vegeta looked around behind Recoome. Piccolo looked at him. They nodded. Piccolo suddenly started to scream and tremble. Recoome looked back at him again. Piccolo threw his arm into the air, Recoome followed it. Suddenly a new arm shot out of Piccolo's shoulder. Piccolo then charged Recoome head on, jabbing him in the chin real hard with his new arm. Recoome flew into the air. The others where in shock. Piccolo then suddenly jumped into the air and kicked Recoome against his neck and then slammed him down on the ground again. Vegeta stood there ready to catch him and kicked him towards Jeice and Burter. Then Piccolo and Vegeta each unleashed a massive beam of energy towards the still flying Recoome. Jeice and Burter had to get out of the way quick or they would take the full force of it. They let Recoome fly on with the beams catching up to him. When they did they exploded. Recoome screamed. When the dust cleared Recoome was on the ground. He was dead.
"What? But how? Darn it, those Namekians can regenerate limbs." Said Burter, flying high in the air. "Oh man, the captain is not going to like this. We underestimated them. And that other Saiyan is on his way as well. Why didn't our scouters detect their power? How can they hide it so well?" Jeice flew on the other side of the smoke column.
"Get rid of your scouter Jeice. We can't trust them anymore. I say we go full strength right away. The Namekian first." The smoke had cleared. Jeice and Burter took their scouters off. The hoovered over too eachother. They shouted together.
"Purple comet crush!" The started twisting around eachother. A purple tornado appeared, surrounding the duo.
"What are they doing?" Piccolo asked.
"Its their signature move. Nobody in the universe has ever found a weakness in it. Its unstoppable." Vegeta shouted, trembling. Burter and Jeice where not much stronger then Recoome, but together they where a nightmare. Purple balls of energy where now raining down on Vegeta and Piccolo. They couldn't dodge them all and took a serious beating. Eventually Vegeta was knocked off his feet. He saw a big purple ball heading straight for him when he felt being lifted away from it and put down safely on his feet. He looked behind him and saw Kakarot standing there, smiling at him.
"What are you doing Kakarot? Honestly, you could have outflanked those morons as they where not paying attention too you at all. Moron." Vegeta dusted himself off while Jeice and Burter stopped their attack as they had noticed Mark had arrived.
