Piccolo had explained everything to Mark. The arrival of the Saiyans, the dragonballs, Clark, the evacuation, the space battle of the Green lantern corps, the Ginyu Force. Mark was stunned. He had no idea he and his brother would be getting neck deep into such an important, life altering situation. These dragonballs have immense power. These Namekians seem to be able to keep control over them without abusing the power. Now things had changed so dramatically, they can't be ignored. They had almost reached the elder. He could feel him, his energy reading had been atuned better since he was with Piccolo. Positive energies like his work in Mark's favor it seemed, like the light and dark side of the force from Star Wars. Mark smiled, that was just weird. Suddenly Piccolo came to a full stop and looked back.
"What is it? Trouble?"
"Captain Ginyu is on us, they must have found out the dragonballs don't work, now he is coming to get some answers. He is coming fast too. He will be at the elder sooner then us. Quickly, we must protect the elder, he can't be harmed. If he dies, the dragonballs die with him." Mark sped up. Once they got closer they saw Captain Ginyu had already arrived and was confronted by Nail at the entrance. Inside Mark felt the elder and a much smaller, weaker energy signature. Must be Dende. Mark felt the huge energy singature on Captian Ginyu. He was way stronger then any of them.
"Ah, more of you pests. I'm guessing you are the 2 that killed my men? Vegeta is probably at the ship trying to get the dragonballs huh? Well, no matter. I'll bet Frieza himself wants to deal with Vegeta. Can't blame him either. Now, if you would be so kind to give me some answers." Nail stepped forward, Mark couldn't really see a difference between him and Piccolo, except for the clothes.
"Please, we can't do this so near the elder. You must know the elder is the one who created the dragonballs. If he dies, the dragonballs will disappear."
Ginyu looked at the building. "Is that so? Well, i'll take your word on that. If you would just give me the way to unlock the secret of the dragonballs nobody has to die. You." He pointed at Piccolo. "Burter told me you where the only one who knows the password. Come on, give it to me."
Piccolo looked angry. "Lets go to a different location. This close too the elder is too dangerous. The elder is weak. We..." He stopped talking and looked up. The others looked up too. There, 3 humanoids descended down upon them. They wore green outfits and masks over their faces. It where the 3 Green Lanterns. They touched down on the ground. They where all even different then the aliens Mark had already met. One was definitly female though, with long white hair and blue face. The other was a big muscular male with purple skin and a blue haired mohawk. The 3rd was also a male and had a bald, pink face.
The pink one began to speak. "I am lantern Abin Sur of Space sector 2814 of the green lantern corps. You Captain Ginyu are under arrest for space pirating, genocide and illegal planet trade."
Captain Ginyu started to laugh. "Haha, only 3 of you huh? Come on, i've killed more in a single blow."
"Oh yes, i almost forgot. You are also under arrest for the murder of no less then 7 green lanterns."
Captain Ginyu smiled. "Aren't the others going to introduce themselves?" The other 2 lanterns looked angry. Then they looked at Nail, Piccolo and Mark and introduced themselves.
"Davo Yull, green lantern of space sector 2345."
"Droxelle, green lantern of space sector 3411."
Ginyu looked serious again. "You 2 are way out of your jurisdiction. I wonder why that is. Do the guardians know you are here hm?" Ginyu scanned all 3 lanterns with his eyes.
"We are working on our own accord." Said Davo Yull.
Ginyu started to laugh out loud again. "Haha, good. That means there will be no reinforcements after i kill you." He charged Davo Yull head on. The other 2 lanterns joined in on his defence and they seemed to hold their own against his speed and strength. Mark had never seen anything like it. They all had a green ring on their fingers out of which green energy came that formed into all sorts of constructs. They where able to block all attacks by Ginyu with these constructs. On the offense they had little luck however, Ginyu simply blasted through them.
"Look, we gotta go and help them. This fight needs to take place as far away from the elder as possible. Nail, get Dende outside." Nail looked surprised at Piccolo. "Don't worry. I got a plan." Nail rushed inside and a moment later came out with a tiny little Namekian.
"Dende i want you to meet Mark. Don't worry, Mark is not like the other saiyans. He has come to help, like Clark. Listen, Mark here is going to meet the elder. After that i want you to accompany him too Frieza. Him and Vegeta are going to need your healing powers." Dende and Mark shook hands, they had learned that from Clark. Dende looked scared.
"O.. okay Piccolo."
Piccolo rubbed his head. "Brave little kid."
Mark looked serious at Piccolo. "You think its wise to put him in such danger? Frieza won't have mercy on him i'm sure."
"Oh, Dende knows how to hide. You really need his healing powers though as i sense Frieza is already on to Vegeta, better hope he is still alive when you get there. Come inside." Mark followed Piccolo inside, Dende followed. Meanwhile Nail joined in on the fight against Captain Ginyu and help them keep it away from the elder. They went up an invisible elevator. As he came onto the next floor Mark was startled for a moment. In front of him, in a big chair sat the largest Namekian he had ever seen. He looked old and wore the same clothes as Nail. He was coughing, but his energy singature was the most calming, soothing Mark had ever felt. He spoke.
"Ah, you must be Mark the saiyan. It is good to meet you. Unfortunately i haven't had the pleasure yet to meet your brother, the Kryptonian. Ah, Kryptonians where never really talkative. Been centuries since i have met one. Oh, but where are my manners? My name is Guru." Mark walked over to shake his hand, which he did friendly.
"Nice to meet you too Guru. My apologies but it seems like we are in kind of a hurry. I heard you could unlock certain power i possess?"
Guru grunted as he shook Mark's hand. "Oh my, this is very special. You have a great deal of hidden power to unlock. I would be happy to do it too. Come stand next to me." Mark rushed over too Guru's side. Guru placed his hand on Marks head. A white aura surrounded Mark. Then he felt like he was falling down really fast. He felt a huge energy sure going through his body. It felt amazing. Once Guru removed his hand Mark was trembling on his feet. He felt much stronger now.
"Wow, this feels amazing. I feel like i can take on the entire world. Haha, Frieza better watch out."
The elder grunted again. "This power i have given you is not enough to defeat Frieza on your own. You gonna need all the help you can get." Mark couldn't believe it, was this Frieza really so much stronger? What he had felt it didn't seem like it but he guessed Frieza was hiding a lot of his power. But so much was incredible. He saw a light in the corner of his eyes. He looked and saw Dende had his hands on Piccolo, who was on his knees, and a light surrounded Piccolo. When it disappeared Piccolo stood up and Mark immediately felt Piccolo was healed. So thats how it works. Great. Mark smiled.
Piccolo smiled back a nodded. "Come, we must leave. I feel Nail is in trouble just outside. Hurry."
They rushed outside and saw a terrible battlefield before them. There where craters, dust and broken trees(who where strangely blue) everywhere. On the ground a few miles away they noticed a figure laying on the ground. They rushed over. It was nail. He was badly hurt, hanging on to his dear life. Dende rushed over too him.
"Nail, quickly. I will heal you. Lie still." Nail coughed up purple blood. The light surrounded Nail. Piccolo looked around. All around where craters. Then in the distance he noticed movement.
"There they are!"
Mark and Piccolo went over at full speed. When they got closer they saw Davo Yull on the ground. He had lost his arm. He was bleeding heavily but Droxelle was near him with all kinds of medical devices all made of the green light that came from their rings. It was fascinating. Abin Sur was high up in the air with Ginyu. For a moment it looked like he was in trouble but eventually he got the upper hand on Ginyu and created a green light rope around him, binding him. Abin Sur had just arrested Captain Ginyu, one of the most wanted people in the known universe. He came down slowely as more complex constructs surrounded Ginyu so he can't escape.
"There, Captain Ginyu has been disposed off. The little cheat tried to switch bodies with one of us. We knew about this trick though and prevented it. But lantern Yull here lost his arm in the process." Droxelle had stopped his arm from bleeding in the mean time and Davo Yull was getting up.
"I can have my ring construct me a new one. I was careless. It won't happen again."
"You have little experience as a lantern Yull, its not your fault. I shouldn't have dragged you two rookies into this fight." He turned back too Mark and Piccolo. "Droxelle and Davo Yull are fine lanterns but lack the experience. We will escort Captain Ginyu too Oa. He will be put in a sciencell. Then we will return to arrest Frieza as well. Thank you for your help and good luck. Be carefull with Frieza, he is much stronger then he looks. Hold out untill we return" They flew off. Piccolo and Mark looked at eachother. These green lanterns are really something. Especially this Abin Sur, he was a class apart. They returned too Dende and Nail.
"Captain Ginyu has been arrested. He won't be a bother." They looked at Dende, who was still healing Nail. He did that for a long time. Dende started to grunt and sweat. Then he stopped.
"No! I can't heal him. He is too badly hurt. Please help me get him too the elder, perhaps he can..."
"Dende." a small voice came from Nails mouth. "You don't have the time. You need to help the Saiyans, defeating Frieza is our only hope."
"Nail! no. You need to live. I, can't leave you like this." Dende started to cry.
Piccolo walked over and put his hand on Dende's shoulder. "Nail is right Dende. I will stay with him, i promise i will help him. Now go." Dende looked at Piccolo and saw the calm in his eyes.
Mark already lifted into the air. "Come on little one, we have to hurry. I can feel Frieza and Vegeta are engaged in battle already." Mark didn't feel scared. In fact, he felt excited. This Frieza is outrageously strong. He wondered how he can fare up against him with this new power.
