Foreword: Gohan and Krillin being relagated to guard duty? Don't worry they will get involved, just wait a bit. As for Vegeta? Let's see how his encounter with the Earth's Namekians colors his interaction with the locals. Let's get this show on the road.

Vegeta skulked around the planet, picking off Frieza's soldiers when they are by themselves and making sure to destroy scouters first to avoid calls for help being broadcast, keeping his own scouter on the soldier's frequency to stay aware of what's going on. According to chatter the locals destroyed the scouters of Zarbon, Dodoria and Frieza in addition to blinding them for a moment to steal back the 4 Dragon Balls that Frieza and his men claimed.

Vegeta: 'So the abilities to hamper senses and sense energy are Namekian techniques...I just have to look nice and reasonable compared to Frieza to get them on my side. Easy.'

Vegeta spotted a village in the distance and flew over to it, the locals giving him stern and suspicious looks as he touched down. The oldest looking Namekian stared him down.

Elder Namekian: "What is your purpose here stranger? Are you with that monster killing our kin?"

Vegeta: "No. As a matter of fact he destroyed my race and has made me suffer under his rule."

The Namekians were shocked twice over by the statement and the honesty behind it. The elder Namekian also spotted the hatred for the tyrant clear as day in the stranger's eyes, and the ill intent targeted toward said tyrant.

Elder Namekian: "And what is it you seek to accomplish?"

Vegeta: "Since I'm too weak to hurt him in a physical way, I intend to hurt him in a more personal way. He want's the Dragon Balls, I want him to never get what he wants ever again. Think you can help me with that?"

The Namekians gathered were torn, they could tell he was malicious but they could also tell that it was aimed at someone currently causing the suffering of Namek. A quick telepathic conversation concluded with giving the Dragon Ball to the stranger.

Vegeta: "Thank you so very much for the understanding and the Dragon Ball. I'll make sure that monster never gets his wish. I will say you may want to leave and hide, if you get found by Frieza or his goons you'll definitely get killed by them like your kin"

The Namekians looked unhappy at the idea but akknowledged the wisdom of the idea, returning to their homes, packing their things then leaving. Vegeta stood alone with a Dragon Ball and a smile. He throws the Dragon Ball into the water, making sure to memorize the area before flying away.

Vegeta: 'Yes! That ended exactly like I wanted it too! Frieza will never find that ball or a clue as to where it is!'

Vegeta quietly chuckled to himself as he hunted for lone Frieza soldiers and searched for other Namekians to hide the Dragon Balls. Even if he didn't get them all, Frieza sure as hell wasn't. Vegeta sensed another lone soldier and returned to ground level to hunt them with a sadistic grin.

Bansuri and Goku made their way to the group of Namekians that Bansuri just saved, the elder looking like they were trying to recognise them. The duo touched down in front of the local Namekians.

Elder Namekian: "Hello friend, I am Elder Moori. May I know your name?"

Bansuri: "My name is Bansuri and don't worry that you had forgotten me elder, I was not born on Namek, but on Earth"

Moori: "Ah! That would explain it"

Goku: "And I'm Goku! Nice to meet you!"

Moori: "Um, nice to meet you as well...I gather you are not with those monsters?"

Bansuri: [Shakes head] "No, we came here with the hope of using the Dragon Balls to revive our Elder Namekian so we can undo the damage done to Earth and restore the lives lost by an invasion we have suffered."

Moori: "Hmmm, I see...In that case I recommend you meet with our Grand Elder Guru, I am certain he will help you with your quest. Dende! Please guide our friends to Elder Guru.

Dende: "Y-Yes Elder Moori! Please, follow me"

Bansuri: "Before that, may we have those Dragon Balls?"

Moori: "Oh! Yes! Of course, but how will you carry them?"

Bansuri: "One moment..."

Bansuri conjures a small satchel into his hand, makes a number of quick hand gestures at it then proceeds to place the head-sized Dragon Balls into what looks to be a satchel too small for them before crushing the satchel in his hands then opening them to reveal that the satchel is gone. All the Namekians and Goku are dumbfounded by the trick.

Bansuri: "So! Shall we go Dende?"

Dende: "R-right!"

The Namekian child flew into the air and after confirming that Bansuri and Goku were following, shot off in the direction of Guru's home so our heroes may recieve aid.

Vegeta stalked between large cracks in a rockface, finally getting a visual on the Frieza Force soldier on their own and finding not some random grunt, but Dodoria. The rotund pink alien was desperately searching for the Namekian that blinded them and stole Frieza's Dragon Balls and if he didn't return with at least one his life would be the cost. Zarbon got the same ultimatum and picked a different direction to search in, leaving Dodoria alone.

Vegeta compared his power to Dodoria's and found that if he pushed a bit, he could kill the portly pink pain in the postierior and he was already lacking a scouter so he was completely blindsided when Vegeta burst out of his hiding spot and did a 2 handed strike like swinging a baseball bat to Dodoria, sending him downward into the water.

Dodoria: "PHWAA! What the hell just-?"

Vegeta kicked Dodoria in the buttocks as they were scrabbling out of the water and sent the round pink alien flipping into a rockface and landing on his head to see Vegeta charging an energy blast with a very wicked grin.

Dodoria: "Vegeta!? Wait! Hold on! Don't kill me! I know what really happend to Planet Vegeta!"

Vegeta: "I know that Frieza did it! Now shut up and die!"

Dodoria scrambled to get back on his feet and try to launch away but found himself erased by a fully charged ki blast that took out the rockface behind him and kicked up a dust cloud. Vegeta smirked as he felt Dodoria's energy vanish then dived into the water and swam away, the heady feeling of victory warming him in the tepid waters.

Vegeta: 'Nothing like problem solving to make you feel accomplished'

Vegeta vanished from the scene, leaving destruction too great to parce what happened by looking and leaving Frieza short another minion.

Gohan and Krillin both turned to look in the direction of the energy spike with worried looks.

Krillin: "Oh man, Vegeta's gotten stronger since his trip to Earth. I'd have to use Kaioken to take him on and crank it up to x3 to be stronger than him and that hurts like hell!"

Gohan: "Why aren't you using the Mastered Version Bansuri came up with?"

Krillin: "...cause it's really hard to focus energy that way..."

Gohan: "...the pain at the start?"

Krillin: [Nodding] "The pain at the start"

Bulma: "Soooo, you'll be guarding me while Gohan looks for Dragon Balls?"

Krillin: "Huh?"

Krillin and Gohan turn to look at Bulma who was holding a newly made additional Dragon Ball Rader.

Bulma: "Gohan you're a smart kid, stay out of trouble and don't lose the radar. 'K kiddo?"

Gohan nods with a serious face before making his way out of the hidden housing and flying away towards a ball on it's own that isn't too far away.

Krillin: "You sure you wanna send out the stronger person? He can use Kaioken better than me too"

Bulma: "Because he's tougher, he's guaranteed to come back"

Krillin: "...Ya know if he dies Chi-chi will kill us right?"

Bulma and Krillin sit in silence for a moment.

Bulma: "...Can you tell if someone's in trouble by sensing?"

Krillin: "Yeah?"

Bulma: "If he's in trouble, run to help him"

Krillin: "Got it"
