Foreword: Things are gonna get interesting real soon, time to see things play out.

Zarbon stood in front of the healing pod with a satisfied look, he had put Vegeta in there and cleaned himself up to report his success to Frieza. He turned to Appule and saw that everything looked good on the monitor but Zarbon wasn't a medical expert so he decided to ask.

Zarbon: "How long are we looking at for Vegeta to be in suitable condition to meet with Lord Frieza?"

Appule: "Shouldn't be longer than an hour Zarbon"

Zarbon: "Good, when he's brought before Lord Frieza he should be healthy enough to be mangled for catharsis by Lord Frieza for the trouble the monkey prince has caused for our forces. I am going to report the good news, keep an eye on him won't you?"

Appule: "Y-yes sir!"

Zarbon gives a satisfied nod to the medical technician and one last smug look at Vegeta before striding out of the room. Appule sighs in relief when he no longer hears Zarbon's footsteps.

Appule: "...Man, why couldn't I just take the IT job my parents wanted me to do? It would be so much safer than dealing with psychos like Dodoria, Zarbon and Frieza..."

Appule sighed to himself again before taking another look at Vegeta's vitals and seeing that they are stable, decides to take a restroom break. It shouldn't take too long and Vegeta looks pretty out of it so he should be fine. Appule steps out of the room and speed walks to the ship's facilities, not noticing Vegeta cracking open an eye.

Vegeta: 'Guess taking down the freak show really is a public service...time to make my escape'

Vegeta looks at the inside of the medical pod for the patient-side release switch and finds it, flipping it with his foot and waiting for the fluid to drain. If things go south, this model of healing pod would be far better to use then the older models and if things go really well he could steal this ship. Thinking ahead has benefits after all.

Frieza: "Excellent work Zarbon, that simian nuisance will either tell me what I wish to know or die screaming and honestly at this point I could go either way"

Zarbon: "Thank you sire, Vegeta is currently in the medical bay getting freshened up for his meeting with you. Even a monkey needs to look presentable for a meeting with the Emperor of the Universe"

Frieza: "Very true, so how long will it take?"

Zarbon: "Given how badly damaged he was, it will take approximately an hour"

Frieza: "Even in the newer model Medical Pods? You really let him have it didn't you?"

Zarbon: "He made a pest of himself, such a thrashing is expected"

Appule: "U-um, L-Lord Frieza?"

Frieza: "Ah! The medical technician! Will the Prince be ready sooner than expected?"

Appule: [Closes his eyes and braces himself] "He has escaped my lord..."

Frieza: "...He what."

Appule: "I left to use the facilities and when I came back he was gone"

Vegeta flies over the ship and zooms into the distance leaving a streak in the sky, Appule pointing this out and Zarbon being sent out to deal with him. Appule kept his eyes closed and his body tensed until...

Frieza: "What are you doing here still? Begone! Before I wipe you out!"

Appule scurries out of the room and seeing his near death experience for what it was decides to steal a travel pod and leave, crushing his scouter and making his way to where most of the Frieza Force's travel pods landed.

Appule: "Yep! Taking the IT job! Wonder if it's still open..."

Vegeta focuses extra hard on the energies in the distance, knowing that they were hiding themselves and picking up how much stronger they were than the locals, Vegeta theorized that the fighters from Earth came to Namek and if the energy spikes from earlier told him anything is that they have grown stronger and could help him deal with Frieza if he played his cards right.

Gohan walked into the hidden base with a Dragon Ball the size of his head, showing it to Krillin before sensing his father and Bansuri touch down outside and make their way in.

Goku: "Heya Gohan! I see you had some luck finding a Dragon Ball"

Bulma: "Luck that I came along to make an extra Dragon Ball Radar you mean?"

Goku: "Oh! Cool! Thanks Bulma!"

Bansuri pulls the bag of Dragon Balls out of his pocket when he feels Vegeta speeding right towards them.

Bansuri: "We've got trouble, give the ball to me and stay in here in case we need extra hands"

Gohan quickly obeyed and Bansuri put the last Dragon Ball in the bag before hidding it once more and rushing outside with Goku on his heels. When they got out they could see Vegeta flying at high speed towards them but could also sense that Vegeta was being chased.

Bansuri: "Thanks a bunch you jerk, you brought someone right to us..."

Goku: "Wow! They feel way stronger than they did before!"

Bansuri gave Goku a flat unimpressed look at Goku for the enthusiasm in his voice of a killer getting stronger as said killer touched down with a smile that quickly vanished seeing Bansuri.

Bansuri: "Hello Vegeta, have you tried being subtle? It keeps most enemies off your back and stops you from having such a large target on you. Or is this a new concept?"

Vegeta: "I'm trying to get rid of Frieza and his goons!"

Bansuri: "Out of the goodness of your heart I'm sure"

Vegeta would have answered Bansuri's sarcastic remark when Zarbon landed behind him.

Zarbon: "Oh! Vegeta has a Namekian friend? I'm surprised you have any"

Bansuri: "He doesn't"

Bansuri blasts the scouter of Zarbon's face, making the beauty obsessed alien freak out at the attack to the face before Vegeta follows it up with a gut punch hard enough to punch his hand into the light blue flesh making Zarbon gargle in pain before Vegeta fires an energy blast from the impaling appendage and sends Zarbon's corpse into the water.

Bansuri: "Great, so not only did you inform Frieza that we were on planet but also that we had something to do with a minion's death. Not helping your case Vegeta"

Vegeta: "Now we can get rid of Frieza's best then him. Frieza and his empire is the worst thing in the universe"

Bansuri: "I'd argue that people who murder families in cold-blood is worse but to each their own."

Frieza stood in his ship angrilly putting in the contact number for the Ginyu Force. He needed new scouters and he needed Vegeta and his friends dead. He was going to be immortal and he wasn't going to let some monkey and a slug stop him!

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BLING!

Ginyu: "Hello Lord Frieza! How may I assist you?"

Frieza: "Cancel your mission to Yardrat! Come to Namek immediately and deal with Vegeta! He has stolen from me and aggravated me for the last time!"

Ginyu: "Consider it done my lord, shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes to arrive"

Frieza: "Good."

Frieza tersely ended the call and sat in his chair, angrily taking out a bag of sweets and ripping it open, stuffing a handful in his mouth.

Frieza: "Hate dealing with all this...wish I could shove this trouble on to Cooler but he ditched the empire...Jerk"

Vegeta stood in the human's base and explained that Frieza and his forces need to be taken down and after Zarbon died, the last elites to deal with were the Ginyu Force. While Bansuri did verbal barbs at the prince, Bulma noticed something that she wouldn't speak up about just yet.

Bulma: 'Man, why did such a jerk have to have such nice muscles and a nice butt...'

Krillin noticed the stare Bulma was doing and opted to not say anything either while Gohan watched Vegeta try to alleviate Bansuri's hostility to no avail. After a short amount of time all the fighters looked up and noticed 5 powerful energies approaching the planet.

Bansuri: "...Still think it's your fault this is happening"

Vegeta: "Screw you"

The forces of Earth don't trust Vegeta enough to use the Dragon Ball in front of him and with this new looming threat to the planet they have to deal with, how will our heroes manage? Find out next time on Some Help.
