Raditz returned to his family and Nappa with bad news. All the ships had been sabotaged, and they had no means of getting out of there. He put on his scouter and tried calling his father but without answer.

"Dad is not answering, something must have happened at the palace." He said really worried.

"Give me the scouter," Gine told him. "I'm going to try to fix one of the ships, and you go and get your father." She ordered her son.

Raditz hesitated, not willing to leave the women alone, however his mother firmly told him to get going.

"I'm going too!" Gohan yelled. "I'm not leaving grandpa!" Chichi wanted to object, but she knew her son would never forgive her for not giving him a chance to save his beloved grandfather.

"I'm going as well." Nappa told them. "I'm still officially the King's bodyguard."

"Gine I don't think we can fix this." Chichi told the Saiyan woman, looking at the mess of cables on the floor next to the starting panel. They were hopelessly trying to get the ship working without result.

"Bulma how is your voice?" Gine asked the blue haired woman.

"Better." Came a very quiet but audible answer.

"At least one thing is going as planned." Gine joked.

"Bulma I think you should tell her." Chichi insisted.

"Tell me what?" Gine looked with surprise at the two women.

Bardock fought many battles in the past; he won many and lost many as well. From his first missions he always came half dead, which eventually made him very strong. However this battle was different. As a solider born third class, and later awarded first class thanks to his achievements, he wasn't expecting to ever fight elite soldiers for his life. However he was doing well, he managed to knock out two of the attackers, and injured one more. In the mean time Vegeta had already killed three, and inured two more severely. Soon all then bodies were on the ground.

"We have to go!" Bardock urged the King to leave.

"You are not going anywhere." They heard a voice from behind.

Both men turned to see four council member and three other elite soldiers.

"Paragus what are you doing?" The King demanded.

"I'm setting things as they should be. You were a lousy King, your bloodline is weak." The old Saiyan told the King.

"Why did you destroy Earth?" Bardock demanded.

"Why do you ask?" Celer replied. "We will not take a chance for alien blood mixing with our supreme elite blood. It's repulsive." The council member spat on the ground with disgust.

"You shall pay for what you have done you traitors!" King Vegeta was infuriated.

"Oh no, we shall not." Pragaus replied. "It's time to end this farce of a ruling. Brolly kill them both."

All four council members left the garden, to go and officially take the throne.

"You shall not go anywhere!" Vegeta yelled and powered up, immediately in front of him rose Brolly, the elite son of Paragus. Vegeta tried to punch him, but Brolly was too fast.

"Little King, without any power. I will show you true power!" The Saiyan yelled and powered up. His hair turned gold and his eyes green. He had a huge gold aura around him.

"It cannot be..." Bardock whispered with surprise.

"I'm not done yet!" Vegeta yelled and launched at the huge elite Saiyan. He tried his best, however he was overpowered, at the same time the two other soldiers attacked Bardock, he managed to take one down but the other injured him severely.

Nappa, Gohan and Radtiz came to witness a terrifying sight. Both the King and Bardock were down. A big gold Saiyan standing over the King kicking him into the ground.

Gohan looked at his badly hurt grandfather, and later to the King he learned to respect so much. The little boy found in himself enough courage to do what the accompanying men couldn't. Without a word of warning he rushed to kick Brolly. He put all his power in the kick, and the big Saiyan went flying into the palace wall. He saw a flash of light coming his way, and did exactly as his father taught him.

He put his hands together and pushed them to his side, and slowly but surely spoke the words he knew by heart.

"KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" He yelled with all his might pouring all his energy into one big blast.

Nappa and Raditz couldn't believe their eyes seeing such a powerful strike coming from such a small child. But no one had any time to admire anything, they quickly killed the third elite soldier, grabbed the half dead King and injured Bardock, and flew full speed to the Space Centre.

"Don't worry, they won't go far." Paragus told his injured son, watching the fallen King being taken away.

"Computer calibrate the photon engine for space travel. Computer set the gravity controller for high speed take off." Bulma kept shooting orders on board her Capsule 023X, while Chichi and Gine looked with amazement at the sophisticated ship.

"Computer turn on the air conditioning and set the oxygen level." Bulma frantically was calibrating her unused for months ship. Normally she would have loads of time to prepare for takeoff, she had a feeling she had less time with every passing second. She quickly set the computer to calibrate the photon propulsion system, which normally took up to an hour. Later she turned to check the fuel level and noticed they would only enough for half way to Namek.

Gohan flew up front and immediately saw something which made his heart jump with joy. At the far end of the space platform was a huge dome shaped ship with the sign CAPSULE CORPORATION 023X on the side. The men did not hesitate to follow the kid into the bizarre looking ship. As soon as they entered Gine dragged them to the control room yelling "BULMA WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!"

Bulma without hesitation pushed the start button, still working with calibration and co-ordinates. Soon all the Saiyans were in the flight controller room. Chichi had already buckled in, and told the men to do the same. Vegeta and Bardock were carefully placed on two seats, however Raditz, Gine and Nappa didn't have enough time. The inertia wave caught them by surprise as the ships took off much faster than they were used to.

Bulma kept frantically giving orders to the computer. "Force field to 1.345%. Entering calibration for orbiting: 67.124. Evaluate the photon system on screen 5. Increase gravity stabilizer to 1.83. Entering flight co-ordinates .1." The computer kept replying "Confirmed." After every command. "Computer ignite the photon system and report." "Photon system ignited properly, efficiency 72%."

"There is a ship coming straight for us on the left!" Gine yelled at Bulma and showed a big Saiyan ship heading right for them.

"Computer front force shield to 100%!" Bulma yelled as the alien ship blasted at them. "Force shield efficient. Power level dropping to 56%." The computer reported.

"Computer activate photon system!" As Bulma finished the last word the whole view blurred. All people were pushed into their chairs with huge force, as the ship gained unrivalled speed.
