Previously on Part 3: Kageto and his crew were training at a planet near Namek. They transported themselves back to Namek where they rested near a lake. Kageto went to the Other World to do something important. Afterwards he used the Instant Transmission to return to Namek.

Part 4: The Encounter

"I'm back."

Bardock and Fasha were sleeping in the exact same positions he left them.

"Whatever," Kageto thought. Kageto then saw a spacepod enter the planet's orbit. He guessed it was Vegeta.

"Right on time. Everything is going smooth."

"It's so good to know that my job is in good hands," Destiny said.

"Well, as an immortal I have nothing better to do."

"You know there will be a perfect moment to introduce Bardock to Kakarot a week from now?"

"Duh, what do you think we're doing here? As soon as that moment arrives, I will come in action. Meanwhile we have to stay low and observe. We can stay in the ship. As long as we're inside, their scouters can't track our energy. The ship blocks our power level."

"You're planning on staying inside all this time?"

"Well now that you mention it, it does seem kind of a bad idea. We will be waiting too long."

"Why don't you just go to the Realm of Supremes and watch the dimensional window like all the others?"

"There is no way in my immortal life that I will turn into those zombies!"

"That was a trick question. You fell for it."

"Your humour is starting to piss me off."

"That is what it's supposed to do."

"Just enjoy your retirement and let me do the work."

Just then Kageto spotted another spacepod make his way through the planet's orbit.

"So, Cui is right on time. That bastard will meet his end soon."

Kageto ascended and flew over to the direction of Cui's ship. He hid behind a boulder and watched Vegeta enter the scene. Soon enough they were fighting and Vegeta ended the match quickly by blowing up Cui.

"Heh heh heh, I love it when a plan comes together."

Then Vegeta flew away. Kageto stayed behind thinking about what he just saw.

"He can sense energy? When did he learn to do that."

"Back at Earth, remember?" Destiny responded, "You are the strongest there is and still you ask stupid questions like that? Is it too much to just look it up in the Book of Destiny?"

"Yes, that's why I always ask you."

Kageto then turned around. He sensed a group of energy move in that direction. He quickly ran over to another hill as fast as he could.

"That was Frieza and his men. He is out gathering Dragon Balls. I must go back to Bardock and Fasha. I must prevent them doing anything stupid."

Kageto flew back to the ship. Bardock and Fasha were just standing there about to fly off.

"Where are you two going?"

"We were just going to find you," Bardock replied, "Did you sense those power levels?"

"Yes, I have no doubt that's Frieza. He's gathering the Dragon Balls."

"Really, what should we do?"

"I think we can safely approach the humans and your grandson now. It will cause no change. They should be confronnted by two of Frieza's henchmen. Let's go."

Kageto and his crew flew over to where they sensed five power levels. They didn't go too fast as a precaution for alerting Frieza's scouter. They arrived and Kageto sent a mental message to Bardock and Fasha.

"I leave them to the two of you."

Bardock and Fasha then attacked the soldiers and killed them. The bodies landed in the water.

"W-w-who ar..."

"We are the Destiny Warriors or the Fate Protectors," Kageto announced, "You already caught a glimpse of us back at Earth, remember?"

"What do you want from us?" Krillin asked.

"We came here to tell you that whatever happens to you that is not your Fate, we will be here to protect you. You don't have to be afraid of us. We are just friends."

"Wait, didn't Goku kill you back on Earth?"

"We both know that Goku can't kill anyone, Krillin."

"How did you..."

"Please assume that I know everything at all times. Then you can understand me better."

"Where is Kakarot?" Bardock asked.

"My dad is back on Earth in a hospital healing," Gohan answered.

"What are you doing on Namek?" Bulma asked.

"We are merely supervising and helping here and there," Kageto answered.

"Why do you know so much about us?"

"I am the one in charge of the Fate of everyone in the entire universe. I know you because you are connected to Kakarot. By only taking care of Kakarot's Fate, I will easily take care of the Fate of everyone in the universe. Kakarot is like the center of Fate."

"So, you came here to do what? Goku is back on Earth," Krillin responded.

"He'll be here six days after he finished healing."

"How do you know all of this?" Gohan asked.

"I already explained how. I'm not going to repeat it."

"But..."

"No buts, kid, try and think back and remember what I said. It's your fault if you weren't paying attention."

"Why should we trust you?" Bulma asked, "As far as we know you could be working for the same guy those two were working for."

"Well, that's up to you. If you don't trust us, it will be your loss. Bye."

Kageto and his crew took off leaving Krillin and Bulma with their mouths open. Then Gohan said: "Oh, now I understand."

A few miles away...

"What are we going to do now?" Fasha asked.

"We're going to the Guru's lookout and wait there. It seems like the perfect place to wait and not get bored."

After a ten minute flight they arrived at the lookout.

"Oh, look, Guru has a new guard."

"Identify yourselves, strangers." Nail said while assuming an attack pose.

"You don't know us, Nail, but we were here about 24 years ago," Kageto replied, "We know your Guardian called Guru. We came here to talk to him."

"How did you know my name ?"

"That's just something I do, now let me pass."

Nail stepped aside and Kageto and entered the room.

"I'm suprised you're sill alive, Guru," Kageto said.

"Who are you?" Guru said slowly.

"You probably don't remember me, but I was here 24 years ago. Actually it was Destiny but he's still here."

"What are you doing here?"

"We just came here to wait."

"Where are you from?"

"Wait... You don't remember us, do you?"

"Did you come here to destroy the planet?"

"No, we are your friends, remember?" Kageto spoke slowly.

"I have no memories of you. It is possible that I have forgotten. What can I do for you?"

"Can you unlock Fasha's potential?" Kageto requested.

"I can do it if you have no evil in your hearts."

"We don't."

"Alright, Fasha, please step forward. Can you walk to my left side, please?"

Fasha walked over to the left side of the huge throne. Guru raised his left hand and put it on Fasha's head. Her aura became visible (pink) and her energy was obviously rising. Her hair was changing back and forth from black to blond. Around her body lightning sparked. Then everything disappeared. She turned back to normal and she walked back to stand next to Bardock.

"How are you feeling?" Bardock asked.

"I feel stronger than before. It feels great."

"Are you alright?" Kageto asked.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Thank you, Guru. You have done us a huge favor."

"Anything for friends," he replied.

"What now?" Bardock asked.

"Now we wait."

A few hours later…

"I feel a few power levels heading this way," Fasha said.

"It's Krillin and Dende," Kageto replied.

"How do you know that?" Nail asked.

"Let's just say I know everything."

Krillin and Dende descended on the platform. They were stopped by Nail in front of the door. A few moments later they stepped inside.

"You!" Krillin screamed towards Kageto, "What are you doing here?"

"I can seriously make a long list of how many times I've heard someone say that. That and "Who are you?"."

"Why…"

"I told you that you would be meeting me soon. This is the time."

"Do you follow us or something?"

"I've been here for a few hours. How could I have followed you all this time?"

"I don't know."

"Just do what you came here to do."

Krillin walked over to Guru's throne.

"Excuse me, sir, we are from Earth. We came here to gather the Dragon Balls to wish our friends back to life. Can we take this Ball that you have above you?"

"Yes, you can have it."

Guru grabbed the One Star Ball and he handed it over to Krillin.

"Thank you, sir."

"Wait, before you go, please step to my left."

Krillin walked over to the left side of Guru's throne. Guru then put his hand over his head and he unlocked his potential.

"I have unlocked the dormant energy you had inside of you. You are stronger now."

"Thank you, sir, but I shall be going now."

Krillin walked out of the lookout and sped back to the cave. Kageto on the other hand stayed inside thinking.

"It shouldn't be long now. Krillin coming here means that Dodoria is already dead and that Zarbon soon will be too. Should I go and watch?"

"Why don't you look inside my Book and see?" Destiny suggested.

"Hmph, fine."

Kageto summoned the Book of Destiny and it appeared floating in front of him. He opened it and searched for Fates ending on Planet Namek. He found a long list of Namekians but he narrowed it down by removing them. He then spotted Zarbon and touched his name. He then compared it with the future and concluded that it wouldn't change it. He then closed the Book and it disappeared in front of him.

"Ok, let's go."

Kageto and his crew then flew after Krillin who was further ahead. They easily caught up to him because their power levels were higher than his.

"Why are you following me?" Krillin screamed in mid-flight.

"Remember we told you that we would step in if Fate doesn't run it's course?" Kageto replied, "Well, this is it!"

After a short ten minute flight, they arrived at the cave where Bulma was staying. Krillin landed to show Bulma the Dragon Ball. Kageto and his crew stayed floating outside in mid-air. They suddenly sensed a strong energy heading their way. Of course they all knew it was Vegeta. Vegeta arrived and descended on the platform. He noticed Kageto and his crew floating and he screamed: "YOU! How did you survive? What are you doing here? I'm going to kill you all myself! I already have Frieza collecting the Dragon Balls. I don't need more of you people trying to take away my wish for immortality."

"Calm down, Vegeta," Kageto replied, "We are not here to gather the Dragon Balls or stand in your way. Just call us the supervisors of the universe. We are watching the move of everyone in the universe. The easiest way to do it is to watch Kakarot. We are watching the rest of you while waiting for Kakarot to arrive. Just do what you came here to do. Don't mind us."

"I know what you are doing. You are just waiting to steal the..."

"Zarbon."

"What?"

"Zarbon is coming. Prepare yourself."

"Zarbon is what...?"

Vegeta got interrupted by Zarbon's arrival.

"Well, Vegeta, it seems like you made a few friends." Zarbon said as he descended.

Krillin and Bulma stepped outside.

"Why don't you hand over the Dragon Ball, Earthling, and I will let you live. Then I'll take care of you, Vegeta."

"You defeated me once and that was one time too many. You will not win that easily, Zarbon. Hand over the Dragon Ball to me, Earthling."

Bulma was watching Zarbon full of admiration. She thought he was very cute.

"Why don't you transform and we'll start fighting?" Vegeta asked.

"Well, if you want to die early, this is it."

Zarbon transformed into a beast and he rushed towards Vegeta. He charged up a punch and pierced a hole through Zarbon's armor. Zarbon, holding Vegeta's head, was starting to fear for his life. Vegeta on the other hand charged a blast and it penetrated Zarbon blasting him away into the water.

"I'm in a hurry, so hand over the Dragon Ball if you don't want to end up like Zarbon."

Krillin handed over the One Star Ball to Vegeta and he flew away.

"Now we don't have any Dragon Balls. I hope Gohan got one," Krillin said to Bulma.

"He'd better, with my Dragon Radar he couldn't have possibly failed," she replied.

Bardock clears his throat.

"Oh, I didn't realize you three here. You've been floating there the entire time? What are you doing here?"

"We just came to crash with you guys while waiting for Kakarot," Fasha replied.

"You are a Saiyan too?" Bulma asked.

"Yes."

"That's amazing. How did you three actually survive?"

"Actually, Kageto was the only one who technically survived," Bardock replied, "I was struck by a huge energy ball and Fasha here was killed on Planet Meat."

"How did you...?"

"She was revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls 24 years ago."

"How old ARE you?"

"We don't count anymore because we're immortal."

"You're immortal? How...?"

"Namekian Dragon Balls."

"So you waited a year?"

"No, the Dragon grants three wishes."

"What? Did you hear that Krillin? We get three wishes!"

"We have to get the Dragon Balls first, Bulma," Krillin replied.

"Don't worry," Fasha said, "Gohan will be here soon with the Four Star Ball. You need to prepare to leave because he stole it from where Vegeta hid it."

"Gohan stole a Dragon Ball from Vegeta?" Krillin asked.

"Yes," Bardock answered, "And speaking of Gohan, here he is now."

Gohan came flying with the Four Star Ball and descended in front of Bulma and Krillin.

"Hey, guys, I found a Dragon Ball. It was lying all on his own in a lake. What are these guys doing here?"

"They're helping us, Gohan," Krillin replied, "They know everything. This Dragon Ball was thrown in that lake by Vegeta. We have to get out of here. We have to find somewhere safe for you, Bulma. We'll let you keep the Dragon Ball and then I'll take Gohan to Guru to get his potential unlocked."

"No, NO, I will not stay here all by myself. Why can't one of these guys go with him."

"No, we are not part of your future. We can't do that. You have to stay by yourself."

"But..."

"No buts. We are just here to watch."

After a few moments they flew away to an island with a crack in the middle. To avoid any conflicts, Kageto and his crew stayed with Bulma.
