Part 26: "The Namek Saga" (VII)
Everyone, save for Guru, stepped out into the open, and saw that they had a visitor…
"You, again?" Sailor Moon said, as she sees Zarbon standing there.
"Yes, me again," Zarbon said in a cocky manner. "I am here to set the record straight."
"The only one NOT 'straight' around here is you, Zarbon," Vegeta said.
"Ha, ha," Zarbon replied mockingly. "You DO know that I have a girlfriend, right?"
"And his name is 'Lance'?"
"Vegeta, stop it," Sailor Moon said. "One's orientation should not be an issue for anyone."
"Agreed," Zarbon said.
"Oh, that's right," Vegeta said. "You're the one with the husband who turns into a…GIRL."
"Wait, how do you know that?" Gohan asked. "Grandpa never changed into his girl form."
"I learned how to read energy while dealing with you pathetic lot," Vegeta said. "I saw Saotome's male aura, and I saw his female aura, and guessed the rest, based upon my experience with transsexual species."
"For the record, Ranma has a curse that allows him to change," Sailor Moon said. "It's not natural for him to do so."
"Whatever. Ranma STILL changes into a girl, yeah?"
"You're completely missing the point…"
"Um, excuse me, but I have unfinished business with Sailor Moon," Zarbon said, as he pulls out a fruit from his robes. "And this time, I am prepared to do the deed."
"Um, is that the fruit from the Tree of Might?" Gohan asked.
"You're going to use THAT?" Sailor Moon said.
"Yes, and then I will consume this piece of fruit, which will multiply my strength by a factor of ten," Zarbon said. "When I'm done with you, you fall down on your knees and become submissive to my every whims, girl."
"Huh," Sailor Moon said, as she read Zarbon's power-levels, in anticipation of her battle with the green-skinned hottie…
"Hold on," Vegeta yelled. "I'm going to deal with this guy, woman!"
"Fine," Sailor Moon said, as she raised her hand in mock surrender. "All you needed to do is ask."
"HA!" Vegeta said. Then he turned towards Zarbon.
"Well? If you want the girl, you'll have to go through ME. In fact, I'm so confident that I can beat you, you can power up in full after you ate that piece of fruit of yours."
"If you insist, little prince," Zarbon said. "But remember how you fell before my might? I seriously doubt you'll survive our next encounter."
"Just eat the damn fruit, you prancing twit!"
"Humph," Zarbon said, as he first shifts into monster mode, and then consumed the fruit whole.
FWOOMP!
"Now," said Zarbon-kaiju, as he reveled in his power. "I'm going to pound Vegeta into submission, and then the girl."
"If you say so," Vegeta said. "Let's dance."
"RRRRRRARRGH!" Zarbon-kaiju roared, as he ran at Vegeta…
Vegeta smirks, as he ducks down, before delivering a blow to the abdomen.
SPLURCH!
Zarbon-kaiju realized that Vegeta had punched through his armor and into his stomach.
"How-?" Zarbon asked in shock.
"Had my potential accessed, thanks to the king of the Namekians," Vegeta said. "Ergo, I don't need some fruit to increase my power levels beyond YOURS."
"Vegeta…please, don't kill me!" Zarbon-kaiju said. He then turned towards Sailor Moon.
"Please, help me-!"
"You were helped when I showed you mercy," Sailor Moon said. "You should have took that as a cue to leave this planet…"
Pause.
"Besides, would you have shown mercy to me, if you had the upper-hand?" Sailor Moon asked.
Zarbon-kaiju wanted to say "yes" to Sailor Moon's question, but couldn't bring himself to lie.
"Um, well…"
"Exactly," Sailor Moon said. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do at this point. Vegeta?"
"NO-!"
"Yes," Vegeta said with a mischievous grin, as he blasted Zarbon from the inside-out.
"Arrrrgghhhhhhhh-!"
And thus, Zarbon dies.
"What a waste," Sailor Moon said, as she shook her head in disgust.
"THAT felt good," Vegeta said proudly. He then turned towards Sailor Moon.
"I bet my power exceeds yours, woman," Vegeta said.
"If you say so," Sailor Moon replied. "I'm more concerned with what Freeza is going to do now, now that he lost his men."
"Come again?"
"Well, either Freeza will be dealing with us personally, or he'll summon some back-up, since he's the type that doesn't like to get his hands dirtied."
"Do'oh!" Vegeta said, as he smacks his head.
"What is it, Vegeta?" Gohan asked.
"Damn it, I forgot about the Ginyu Force!" Vegeta yelled. "Of all the bone-headed-!"
"What is this…Ginyu Force?" Sailor Moon asked.
"They're like you, only male and flamboyant," Vegeta said. "Worse, they're power-levels are off the charts!"
"So, what happened to the Vegeta that had defeated Zarbon?" Sailor Moon said. "What we need to do is plan for their arrival, just in case."
"How, Grandma?" Gohan asked.
"With these," Sailor Moon said, as she presents a fruit from the Tree of Might.
"What?" Vegeta said. "You've been holding out?"
"No, I haven't. I use these strictly for training purposes."
"But…they multiply your strength and power!"
"And yet you defeated Zarbon. Why is that?"
"Hmmm…"
"Is it because he only increased his strength and power?" Gohan asked.
"Precisely. As potent as these fruits are, they do nothing to increase your speed or stamina…or endurance, for that matter. Basically, you get the equivalent of a sugar rush, and none of the benefits."
"How do you know that, woman?" Vegeta asked incredulously.
"I've been using them as performance enhancers in preparation for the day I would face you, Vegeta," Sailor Moon said. "After all, you DID kill my husband."
"…"
"What changed your mind?" Nail asked.
"I realized that I needed his help more than I needed to exact vengeance, Nail," Sailor Moon sighed. "So, I trained on my own, first on Chikyuu, and then on the way here to Namek. Now, I don't need to use these anymore, since I had increased my strength and power by a factor of ten already, before Lord Guru had increased my power levels even more so…and this is without utilizing the Kaio Ken as the power multiplier."
"But that would mean that your power-levels are greater than Vegeta's, even now," Gohan said.
"Pretty much."
"WHAT?" Vegeta yelled.
"Zarbon's mistake was that he assumed that Vegeta's potential was less than his," Sailor Moon said. "However, Saiyans are potentially one of the most powerful species in the Universe. Fortunately, their arrogance tends to keep them in check, since they never see that they do have the potential to be greater than they are."
"Humph," Vegeta said. "Well, that doesn't mean squat where the Ginyu Force are concerned. They are elite troops who work for Freeza's father, and they are elite for a reason."
"How long do you think we have before they arrive on Namek?" Sailor Moon asked.
"At minimum, two space days."
"That's when Dad is supposed to arrive on Namek," Gohan said.
"Then, we have time to train," Sailor Moon said, as she turned to Sailor Namek. "And besides, this will give me time to help Cargo adjust to his…her powers."
"If you say so," Sailor Namek said with a nod. "It will take some time to get use to the idea of becoming female…"
Two days later…
"Ah, you're here," said Freeza, as the Ginyu Force stood at attention, after performing a sentai-style introduction. "I take it that there was no problems getting here?"
"No, Lord Freeza," said Captain Ginyu. "But before we get onto business…Jeice?"
"Of course, captain," said Jeice, as he presents a green briefcase to Freeza. "Lord Freeza, here are the new scouters."
"Oh, wonderful," Freeza said, as he takes a scouter from the case. "I do hope that have the new ringtone I added…"
"They do, sir."
"Anything else?"
"We brought along your sister, Lord Freeza," Captain Ginyu said.
"My, what?"
"Hi, big brother!" said Ice, as she materialized in front of Freeza. She carried only a parasol in her hand.
"What the…"
"Surprised to see me?"
"Yes, I am, Ice," Freeza grumbled. "Doesn't Father know that THIS is MY operation?"
"He does, but he feels that you will need my help on dealing with a certain 'Moon Princess'."
"Feh," Freeza said. "I am perfectly capable of dealing with her and her traitorous monkey ally."
"In that case, consider this a visit," Ice said, as she hugged and kissed her brother. "If my help is not needed, then there should be no problem, right?"
"Humph," Freeza said. He then sees that the Ginyu Force was still present.
"Captain Ginyu, I do believe that you have a mission to perform?"
"Of course, Lord Freeza," Ginyu said. He then turned towards his troops. "Ginyu Force: let's move out, and find Lord Freeza's balls!"
"Yes, sir!" said the rest of Ginyu Force, before they fly off on their mission.
"Now, let's have a spot of tea and chat," Ice said, as she and Freeza head towards the galley of Freeza's ship.
"Yeah, yeah…"
A short time later, thanks to the new scouters, the Ginyu Force discovers the location of the Dragonballs.
"Captain, I believe the balls that we seek are there," Jeice said, as he points to the plateau. Jeice was from the planet 'Space Australia', and was the more handsome of the bunch…
"That's odd," said Guldo. He was green, short, and was the oldest member of Ginyu Force.
"You would think that SOMEONE would be here to guard the Dragonballs."
"No matter," Ginyu said, as he turns towards the towering red-head Reccome. "Reccome?"
"With pleasure!" Reccome said, as he opened his mouth and discharged a powerful energy beam.
FWOOSH!
BOOOM!
"Hey, I see them!" said Burter, as he points to the Dragonballs that were placed there. He was the fastest member, and the most snake-like.
"Excellent," Ginyu said proudly. "It looks like we will have completed our mission ahead of schedule."
"What about Vegeta and his allies?" Jeice asked. "Do we forget about them?"
"Hmmmm. I suppose not. After all, he did betray the Planet Trade Organization…"
Pause.
"Okay, new objective," Ginyu said. "While I take the Dragonballs back to Lord Freeza, your orders are to eliminate the traitor Vegeta, as well as any possible opposition. Understood?"
"Yes, Captain Ginyu!" yelled the members of the Ginyu Force, as they saluted their leader.
"Excellent. When you all have completed your assignment, you are to return to base. Afterwards, I will treat you to dinner for your success. It's the least I can do."
"Yes, Captain Ginyu!"
"Good. Carry on."
And, with that, Captain Ginyu leaves the area with the Dragonballs.
"Well, where do we start from here?" Jeice said. "I'm in the mood to pound some Vegeta-"
"Looking for me?" Vegeta said, as he suddenly appears behind Jeice.
"Space Jesus!" Jeice said, as he jumped, obviously startled.
"So, you finally decided to show up, all by yourself," Reccoome said.
"Yes, but I'm not by myself…"
"Hello!" Gohan said, as he waved his hands.
"Man, I hope you know what you're doing, Bunny," Krillin said.
"Probably not," Sailor Moon said, as she stepped forth. She then pressed her communicator wrist band.
"Bulma, have you spotted Goku's ship?"
"It's definitely within this star system," Bulma replied over a secured channel. "And I have already apprised him of the situation."
"Good," Sailor Moon said. "Keep me informed of any changes that might occur."
"Will do. And good luck…"
"Now," Sailor Moon said, as she turned to face the members of the Ginyu Force. "Let me probably introduce ourselves. You know Vegeta…"
"'Sup, punks," Vegeta replied.
"That's my grandson Gohan…."
"Nice to meet you!" Gohan said.
"That's the fighting monk Krillin, a family friend…"
"It's SO not nice to meet you," Krillin replied.
"And I am Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon said, as she began to strike her own sentai poise. "I am the champion of Love and Justice! And on behalf of all the sentai, senshi or whatever teams you make a mockery of, I shall punish…YOU."
