After we defeated Frieza, Goku and I reverted to our base forms. Then, he looked at me, confused. "How do we get back to Earth now?" he asked. He probably thought that we were stuck there.
Let me handle that, Goku," I said. I grabbed his shoulder and then used Instant Transmission, immediately disorienting him. He had no idea of what was happening.
Immediately, we teleported on to a small island in the Pacific Ocean. There was a single white and blue house as well as a few palm trees on it. A bald man wearing sunglasses was reading a playboy magazine in a lawn chair nearby, giggling to himself.
"Master Roshi!" Goku went up and bowed to the old guy. "It's been a long time since we've really seen each other!"
"Hmm?" asked Roshi. "Who's there?" He looked up. "Oh, it's just you, Goku. Good to see you." That's when Roshi realized something. "Goku?! How did you get here?! I thought you were on Namek! Where are the others?!"
"The others are somewhere on Earth," I explained. "I teleported Goku and myself here by honing in on your Power Level all the way from Namek. Then, I used a technique called Instant Transmission to get here." 'I wasn't very accurate,' I thought. 'I was halfway across the beach.'
"Oh...and who are you, again?" Roshi looked confused.
"I'm Frui...the guy who you forgot to resurrect when the Saiyans first came...remember?"
"Never heard of you," stated the turtle hermit nonchalantly.
"Master Roshi...I trained with Goku on King Kai's planet. You forgot me there and you only wished Goku back to life," I said angrily. I went Super Saiyan out of frustration. "How do you not know who I am?!"
Roshi leaned away from me. "Goku, calm your friend down!" he yelled. "He's scaring me!"
"Frui," said Goku, "you need to relax. Master Roshi just forgot. I mean, look at him. He's ancient!" Lucky for Goku, his master didn't hear that part.
"Fine." I reverted to my base form, but my inner anger didn't go away.
"King Kai contacted me earlier," said Roshi after he settled down. "He told me that everyone who was on Namek except for Goku, Frieza, and some fruit had been relocated to Earth. Is this true?"
"Old man, watch what you say," I threatened. "If you're not careful, I'll kill you. I'm not fruit, I'm Frui!" I paused for a few seconds to calm down. "The Namekians are actually here on Earth. I told one of them to make a wish on their Dragon Balls to transport everyone but Goku, Frieza, and me to Earth."
"That explains it," sighed the hermit. "Krillin is with them, right?"
"Oh...um...Krillin is kind of...um...dead," muttered Goku. "Again."
"Dammit," said Roshi. "That's one more time that Krillin has been utterly defeated. I call it the Krillin Owned Count. I don't even know why I keep track of that sort of thing. Probably because I have barely anything to do when nobody's around."
"We'd better tell the others about everything," I stated after a moment of awkward silence. "That way, we can strategically plan on who we'll bring back from the dead and what the other wishes will be used for."
"Let's go. Bye, Master!" Goku put his hand on my shoulder right before I Instant Transmissioned to a certain Saiyan child.
"Gohan!" exclaimed Goku cheerfully as he hugged his son. "It's so good to see you!"
"Um, dad, it hasn't been that long," responded the five-year-old.
"Why does that matter?" asked Goku. "You're my son and I love you."
I turned away from the Saiyans, thinking about my own family. 'Are they alive again? Or did they remain in OtherWorld? Am I even certain that Raditz killed them? Never mind, now I remember that he killed them. That means they're alive again! But then I'd have to do the same boring thing that I used to do. Yeah, I'm not going back.' I shrugged my shoulders as a way of showing myself that I had to get past it. For the love of Kami, I was fifteen, sixteen if you include my time in OtherWorld!
"Oh, no, it's the 'Super Saiyans,'" said a very sarcastic voice that interrupted my thoughts. I looked back to see Vegeta leaning against a tree. "Are you truly Super Saiyans, or are you fakes? What if I'm the REAL Super Saiyan?! What do you have to say to that, Kakarrot?"
"Vegeta, shut up before I send you back to Hell," I warned before Goku could say anything. "I'm stronger than you even without transforming or using the Kaioken. ("Kaio-what?" exclaimed a random Namekian before his friend randomly punched his gut.) You don't stand a chance against me."
"Oh, really? You think you're better than the Prince of all Saiyans?! We'll see about that, but not around this green filth!" (By "green filth," he means the Namekians. We at Rise, Shenron (it's really just me) love nature. Keep nature green!) Vegeta flew off, probably to train.
"Good riddance," I murmured quietly.
"What?" asked Gohan. "Did you say something, mister? And who are you?"
"Nope," I lied. "Oh, and I'm Frui. I trained with your dad in OtherWorld and helped him beat Frieza." Gohan simply nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, a gravelly male voice shouted, "I'm the new Grand Elder of Namek!" Namekians of all ages cheered as if their favorite NFL team had just won the Super Bowl.
"What's going on over there?" I asked.
"The old Grand Elder of Namek, Guru, resigned and gave the Dragon Balls to one of the village Elders," said Piccolo as he walked over to us from under a tree. "Now Moori is the new Grand Elder and Guru is dead."
"Okay," I nodded, deciding to not ask any more questions. It's not like I needed any extra information other than that.
"Hey, everyone!" shouted Bulma from 20 feet (6.15 meters) away. "Follow me if you'd like to stay at my place! My chefs will probably cook something up if you're hungry!"
Goku's eyes lit up as he turned toward Bulma. "Did I hear you say the words 'chef' and 'cook' in the same sentence?"
"Yes, Goku," replied Bulma. "You did."
"Then count me in!" Goku, followed by Gohan, Piccolo, and me, flew toward Bulma's house to enjoy a delicious meal. Every Namekian followed us because they needed to stay somewhere.
Hey, guys! If you couldn't tell, Roshi was too busy thinking about sexy girls from his playboy magazine to remember Frui right away. Also, his age had some effect on it, as suggested by Goku.
This chapter is very important for Frui. He's accepted the fact that he may never see his parents again and that his life has changed forever. He knows that there's no going back to life the way it was before the Raditz incident.
Here are some Power Levels:
Master Roshi: 138
Gohan: 1,300,000
Piccolo: 1,400,000
