Around 3 weeks passed before anything significant happened. The event that changed it was when another martial artist found himself at the end of Snake Way. He flew to King Kai's planet.

"Hello?" called the man. He had an X-shaped scar on his face and long, black hair. "I'm here to see someone called King Kai."

I was at the back of the house, practicing teleporting to Bubbles while King Kai watched. "Come around," answered the blue deity.

"Hi, I'm Yamcha from Earth," said the man when he found us. "You trained my friend Goku while he was dead, and now I'd like to train with you, too, if that's okay."

"I don't know, Yamcha," said King Kai. "You need to pass a test first. Now, make me laugh with a joke. If you succeed, then you will become my pupil."

"All right, then." Yamcha rubbed his hands together. "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"Why?" asked King Kai emotionlessly.

"Because it forgot its eggs!" replied the Scar-Faced Bandit stupidly.

"That wasn't even close to being funny," remarked the god.

"I'm sorry! I'm not good with jokes!"

"Well, then, if you're 'not good with jokes,' then you won't be my student," said King Kai.

"I'm sorry. Feel free to stay here, though." He turned to me. "Frui, don't help this guy get stronger or teach him what I've taught you, okay?"

"Don't worry, King Kai," I responded with a smile. "I won't teach him anything. Sorry, Yamcha."

"It's fine," sighed Yamcha. Suddenly, he thought of something. "How long have you been training with King Kai?"

"I'd say that I've been here for almost...um...King Kai, how long have I been your student?"

"It's been at least 7 or 8 months," answered King Kai.

"Does this mean that you know Goku?" asked Yamcha.

"This should answer your question," I smiled. Then, I got into a stance and I put my open hands out in front of me, the right over the left, with the bottoms of the palms touching. The palms of my hands formed a flat, vertical surface. "Kaaaa...meeee...Haaaa...meeee..." I moved my hands into a cupped position near my right hip and I leaned back a bit. An energy ball began to form, making Yamcha's eyes widen. "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I moved my hands forward until they were in their original position. This time, however, an extremely powerful energy beam came out and flew off of the planet towards the clouds near Snake Way and Hell. When the beam died, I relaxed.

"Did...did you just...?" Yamcha asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes, Yamcha, I did."

"How...where…?"

"Goku taught it to me while he was here," I answered.

"Wow," said Yamcha.

Yamcha wasn't the only new arrival that day. Within a few hours, Tien and Chiaotzu had appeared and introduced themselves. Chiaotzu failed the test, but Tien passed accidentally by saying that Chiaotzu helped during the fight with the Saiyans. By the next day, Piccolo had joined us on King Kai's planet. He didn't care enough to train with King Kai, calling it "monkey business." Of course, King Kai laughed and said that Piccolo could train with him.

They all stayed there, sparring and talking. I introduced myself, too, and they accepted me. I explained to them how I was part Saiyan, and they talked about their fight with Nappa and Vegeta. Piccolo meditated most of the time, though, so I didn't get to know him well. After about another 2 weeks, King Kai had important news to tell.

"Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma have arrived at Namek," he announced. "It seems that Vegeta and some of Vegeta's...coworkers are there, too."

"What's Namek?" I asked.

Piccolo was the first to answer me. "Namek is the home world of my people. Everybody who is still alive, except Goku, went there to use Namek's Dragon Balls and wish everyone back to life, but I don't think that you'll be coming with us."

"Oh, that's fine," I said. "Training with King Kai is an awesome experience!" Then, my face turned more serious. "So, Vegeta's friends are there? Are they stronger or weaker?"

"Only about eight of the non-Namekians on Planet Namek at the moment are at least as strong as Vegeta was on Earth," said King Kai. "Vegeta is a bit stronger now, so only five people on that entire planet, including Namekians, are stronger than him. Wait a second... oh, no, not him! Please, no!"

"What's wrong, King Kai?" asked Tien.

"There is a powerful, dangerous tyrant on Namek!" King Kai sounded distressed. "His name is Frieza, and his galactic empire's main trade is taking over planets and killing all life on them. Frieza is capable of being thousands of times stronger than Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin combined! I only hope that I'm wrong."

"Sounds like fun," said Yamcha sarcastically.

"Fighting with Frieza is anything but fun!" shouted King Kai. "The only person who has ever beaten him in battle is his own father, and that was so long ago! Do you call losing to an enemy who completely overpowers you fun?!"

"Okay, I think I understand," Yamcha said calmly. Tien chuckled a bit. "In other words, everybody on that planet could die at any moment because of this creep?"

"That's right," nodded King Kai.

"What about the Dragon Balls?" I asked.

"If Frieza gets to them first or kills Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma, then you guys are all stuck here. If Vegeta finds them first and gets immortality, then that's just as bad," replied the god.

Everybody looked shocked when they heard that.

6 or 7 Earth days later...

King Kai told us that Frieza's most powerful warriors, the ever-so-flamboyant Ginyu Force, was finally defeated. "You know," said King Kai, "I'm proud of Goku. He just used the Kaioken technique to finally defeat one of the strongest warriors in the universe!"

"Wait, do you mean that Goku is the most powerful person on Namek right now?" asked Tien.

"Goku is the second strongest person there," said King Kai. "The only stronger person is Frieza himself, and Frieza is currently five times stronger than Goku. In addition, Goku is in a healing tank, so he's currently vulnerable."

"You're just making things sound worse, King Kai," I said. "Maybe Frieza really IS that much stronger than Goku, but you forgot one thing. Goku must have nearly died, so when he's fully healed, his Saiyan genes will kick in and activate his Zenkai. He'll become much stronger than he is now, so I won't be surprised if he'll be able to beat Frieza."

"Jeans can't move on their own, let alone kick!" King Kai snorted. Then, more seriously, he said, "But you don't understand. Frieza is in his weakest form right now. His second form is at least twice as strong as this one, and his third form is even stronger than that! And don't get me started on how powerful his final form is! Goku could get himself killed!"

"Goku has wriggled out of tough spots before," said Yamcha. "He'll find a way to beat Frieza somehow." ((EPIC FORESHADOWING))

"I don't know, Yamcha," responded the Kai. "Goku didn't survive the fight with Raditz, and now he has to face someone as overwhelming as Frieza. If Goku even tries to defy Frieza, the end result will be Goku's second and final death. He won't stand a chance."

"What about Kaioken?" I asked.

"I doubt that Goku can use a level high enough to kill Frieza," replied the deity. "He seems to not have any strain while using a Kaioken x2, so I think he can use up to about Kaioken x10. However, that's not going to be enough. Today could easily be his last."

King Kai paused for a second to concentrate on something. "A young Namekian just showed up to help Gohan and Krillin! They're taking the Dragon Balls away! Good thing Vegeta is still inside."

"We're going to be revived?" asked Chiaotzu excitedly.

"Calm down, Chiaotzu," said Tien. "We're not alive just yet. Anything could happen."

"Have you guys already forgotten?" shouted Piccolo. "The Dragon Balls can bring back all of us except those of us who have died previously! We're all going back except for Chiaotzu who has no choice but to stay here."

"I'll be fine. I can survive here," said the short man.

"Wait just one second," said King Kai. "They've summoned the Dragon and he grants 3 wishes, not just one. However, he can only bring back one person at a time."

"I'll go," said Piccolo. "I'm the strongest person on this pathetic little planet."

"Piccolo, I beg to differ," I said. I then went Super Saiyan. "I'm living proof against that statement."

"I wasn't done," continued the Namekian. "If you bring ME back, then Kami and the Earth Dragon Balls will reappear and we can revive everyone else except clown-boy over there." Chiaotzu frowned and turned away.

Everybody nodded in agreement. King Kai said, "I'll tell the others." He immediately opened a telepathic link between him, Krillin, Dende, and Gohan. "Hey, guys. It's King Kai."

On Namek...

"Who's there?" shouted Krillin angrily. "Show yourself!"

"Wow, Krillin," said the blue god. "I can't believe that you already forgot about me, the one who trained Goku in OtherWorld."

"Hi, King Kai!" said Gohan excitedly. "What's up?"

"I know who you should wish back," said King Kai. "Revive Piccolo and use the second wish to bring him to Namek. Use the third wish for whatever you choose."

"Right!" exclaimed Dende. He immediately chanted something in Namekian and Porunga's eyes glowed for a second. On King Kai's planet, Piccolo's halo vanished; he was alive again.

Next, Dende muttered something else and Piccolo vanished from OtherWorld only to reappear at an unknown location on Namek.

"Mr. Piccolo?" called Gohan. "Mr. Piccolo, are you there?"

"Oh no," said Dende. "You wanted him to be right here, not just on Namek?"

"Dende, we need to use that last wish before -" Krillin was interrupted mid-sentence.

"Before what, baldy?" said a voice. Vegeta had found them. "If you already used the wish, then I'm going to kill you right now."

"Vegeta!" Gohan sounded distressed. "There's still one wish left! You can use it!"

"That's more like it," said the Prince. "Now, green boy, wish for me to be immortal!"

Dende started saying the wish when he stopped fearfully. They were not alone; Frieza was watching them from a nearby hill.

"Oh, Vegeta, you certainly are despicable."

"Frieza found them!" shouted King Kai. "They're all going to die, even though Vegeta is so much stronger now!"

"Don't worry, King Kai," I said, trying to calm the god.

"Don't worry?! DON'T WORRY?! Do you even know the severity of this?! Piccolo could die again and we'll lose Earth's Dragon Balls again!"

Backing away, I said, "Okay, I understand!"

Hey, guys! If you haven't noticed yet (but of course you have), Frui has now been affiliated with every Z Fighter except Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta (unless you count Bulma and Chi-Chi). This gives Frui a sense of belonging in a group of super-powered beings who actually aren't too different from him. He's not an official Z Fighter, though.

The word Zhetto in the title is actually part of the DBZ name. The "Z" means Zhetto, Japanese for "warrior."
