Foreword: Took a bit of a break to figure out the power scaling and story in addition to writing some bonus scenes/omake. Sorry about the wait but we're getting back into it.

The day after testing Gohan and the ship was ready with plenty of food and drink (with the entirety of yesterday not only being used to fuel the ship but also to fill it with food. Bulma knows Goku's appitite). Gohan arrived last due to being dropped off by his mother, with a nice suit, a big pack full of clothes and academic worksheets and a bowl haircut. Krillin spent the time before departure and during lift off quietly tittering to himself over how goofy Gohan looked. When the ship cleared the atmosphere and they were both well into space and stablised Goku hopped out of his seat and immediately made for the training room.

Bulma: "Hold it Goku! Let me put the ship on autopilot so I can show you how to work the gravity settings of the training room. Don't want you crushing yourself to death"

Goku: "O-oh! Okay! [bashful chuckle]"

Bulma instructed the fighters on the ship of how to operate the gravity chamber to make sure everyone knew what they were doing then left them to their own devices. Goku immediately opted to set the gravity to 5x gravity to get the people unused to gravity up to speed, Gohan and Krillin having trouble moving but Bansuri seemed to handle it with a bit of difficulty.

Goku: "Okay everyone! Let's start at 5 times gravity then when you're used to it, we can ease you guys into 10 times like I trained in with King Kai. After that we can cycle between getting used to the gravity and cranking it up. Sound good?"

Bansuri nodded while Gohan and Krillin said okay with strain due to the sudden difficulty of standing. Goku nods at the answer and paired up with Bansuri to spar, encouraging Gohan and Krillin to spar with each other for better training gains.

Gohan/Krillin: 'This is gonna be a long 6 months'

Bulma with a majority of the ship now to herself decided to ditch the space suit she was wearing to switch it for a more comfortable tank-top and sweatpants combo. She figured that Goku, Gohan, Krillin and Bansuri would only be out of the training room to eat, sleep or use the toilets (and Bulma had the feeling that she'll find them sleeping in the training room with the gravity set to something stupid). She got a can of booze from the fridge.

Bulma: "To a safe and uneventful trip [lift of the can as a toast before chugging it down]"

Vegeta touches down on a planet owned by (conquered by) the Frieza Force, promptly ignoring the landing deck hand in favor of getting to a Medical Pod. Every move hurt like hell thanks to his injuries but he pushed forward anyway, he had a goal.

When he finally got to a Medical Pod he hoped in, giving the on-site medic a glare when they opened their mouth to say something and scaring them off. When the pod settings were put in and the breathing mask was in place, Vegeta let the pod do it's work, still training himself to sense energy, learning the feeling of each person's energy and refining his range, learning to tell which people had high energy or low.

Vegeta: '[sigh] this sensing thing is much easier when I don't feel like someone is trying to butcher me. Now, what sort of wish could I get away with in front of the Namekians...'

Vegeta absently considered what he wants as he heals and polishes the new skill he's picking up, his thoughts interrupted by the Medical Pod telling him that the healing cycle is complete as the healing fluids emptied out of the pod. No longer in pain, Vegeta gets out of the pod to inspect himself and sees that the cuts and lacerations left by the Namekian now turned into scars, the one on his back making him shudder.

Vegeta: 'He could have severed my spine and crippled me for life...but he left me mobile, he even gave me advice...Why?'

Vegeta pondered as he put on a new battle suit, the tights doing an excellent job of hiding his scars and the chest piece making him feel reassured. Vegeta stalked out of the room while putting on a scouter to keep up appearances when he is stopped when a familiar and irritating purple alien stands in front of him.

Cui: "Well Vegeta, I heard you had quite the battle [laughs], you couldn't take 1 measly planet with 2 sidekicks and if my reports are correct, you couldn't take down a saiyan of low class"

Vegeta: "Outta my face, I don't have time to waste with the likes of you Cui"

Cui: [puts a hand on Vegeta's shoulder] Just wait a moment, Frieza has been very displeased by your attitude lately"

Vegeta: "Then maybe Frieza should do something about it, now do you mind?" [glares at the hand on his shoulder]

Cui lets go of Vegeta's shoulder and starts ranting on about how Frieza is the strongest in the galaxy and how Frieza is invincible.

Vegeta: "Just shut up and tell me where he is!"

Cui: "On Namek"

Vegeta panics and thinks that Frieza must have heard about the wish orbs over the scouter. Cui mocks Vegeta about how Frieza will get the Dragon Balls first and will really become invincible.

Cui: "Just give up Vegeta"

Vegeta: "Eat me Cui!"

Vegeta flies down the hallway, ignoring Cui's continued chatter and racing to the pod bay then stealing a clean pod before blasting off.

Vegeta: "The game is on Frieza!"

Vegeta's shout rings through the scouter as he shoots through space. Will our heroes make it to Namek in time? Will Vegeta get his hands on the Dragon Balls? Will Frieza truely become invincible? Find out next time on Some Help!

BONUS SCENE! Quick Study

During a lunch break in training, Gohan eats and does some of the worksheets his mother packed for him to keep his mind sharp. Gohan stops writing for a moment and gets a contemplative expression.

Gohan: "Hmm, which words are good to describe a mix between angry and sad?"

Bansuri: "Hm, I'd think words like 'Malcontented', 'Disgruntled', 'Miserable' and 'Desolated' make for good options."

Goku gets a thoughtful look while eating, then his face lights up.

Goku: "[crunch crunch gulp] "I know! 'Smad'!"

Goku looks proud of himself but Bansuri raises an eyebrow while Krillin snickers to himself. Bulma shakes her head with an amused look.

Bulma: "There are 2 types of people..."
