Piccolo meditated in the middle of a wasteland, his ears perked up as he heard something behind him, "What do you want Kami?" Kami stood behind Piccolo with his hands behind his back, "The others are going to our home planet, I would advise that you go with them, you could learn more about our people".
"I don't care about our people, I'm fine where I am" Piccolo grumbled, "I had a feeling you were going to say that, well I can't make you go but hopefully you change your mind there is a lot to learn about our people" Kami then disappeared.
Piccolo continued meditating but his mind began to weigh on Namek and the Namekians. Maybe he should learn more about his race and maybe he could become stronger if he went.
"Damn that old man"

The Z Fighters stood outside of Kame house next to the Namekian spaceship as they prepared for their travels but before they could leave they were saying bye to the others.
"Stay with your aunt Kuroda the whole time you're there okay?" Chichi said, "Yes ma'am" Gohan and Goten answered, "And don't talk to strangers, and don't eat random food, and don't drink the water you don't know what's in it, and-".
"We get it mom!" The brothers shouted, "Don't worry Chichi, me and Raditz will keep a good eye on them" Kuroda reassured, "Yeah Chichi the kids are in good hands relax" Goku added.
"Oh alright" Chichi mumbled.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us Kakarot?" Raditz asked, "I'm good here on earth, you guys have fun though" Goku said, "Kuroda, Krillin I'm going to miss you" Tai frowned, "It's alright kid we'll only be gone for a couple of months and after we wish everyone back we'll come back" Krillin said as he patted Tai's head.
Kuroda hugged Tai "Be good for Kakarot"
"Yes ma'am"
Gohan approached Roshi "Hey Master Roshi there's this girl who will be here in a couple days or so, her name is Videl she seeks your training and she's already pretty good at martial arts but please teach her what you can".
"I will do what I can Gohan thanks for the heads up"
"Alright guys come on, we need to leave soon" Bulma said.
Kuroda, Raditz, Krillin, Yamcha, Bulma and the kids stood underneath the ship and said there goodbyes, "Bye Yamcha good luck!" Pura shouted, "Please be careful Raditz, we still have a wedding to plan!" Lunch shouted.
"You guys ready to go?" Bulma asked
"Yeah let's go to space" Trunks exclaimed
"Wait" Piccolo landed in front of the other z fighters "Piccolo?" Everyone said shocked that he was there, as they spoke Piccolo's name the entrance of the Namekian ship opened.
"Piccolo, what are you doing here?" Kuroda asked, "I'm coming with you guys" Piccolo grunted, "Uh no offense Piccolo but there's not that much room on the ship, we can barely fit" Bulma said, "All I need is a corner to myself and I'll be fine" Piccolo answered.
Bulma let out a sigh and stepped on the pad, "Alright just come on, I'm ready to go", the rest of the z fighters stepped on the pad, "Bye guys see you later" Goku called out.
"Piccolo"
The pad lifted up and entered the Namekian ship, Bulma made her way to the pilot seat as the others admire the ship, "Everyone grab onto something we're taking off in ten seconds", "Kids get in the seats" Kuroda said as their were only two seats to sit in.
The kids strapped themselves to the seats and the others grabbed onto something to keep their balance, "We're taking off in five, four, three, two, one" in a matter of seconds the Namekian ship blasted off into space.
Luggage began flying everywhere as the ship blasted off and the z fighters struggled to hang on until the ship began to slow down, Bulma got out of the pilot seat.
"Whew, well that wasn't that bad"
"Yeah it was great, I think I need to throw up," Krillin groan, "How long is it going to take us to reach Namek Bulma?" Piccolo asked, "According to the ship it'll take exactly a month" Bulma informed.
"A month?! What are we supposed to do for a month straight?" Trunks pouted, "We can show you guys how to image train" Krillin suggested, "Image train? What's that?" Goten asked.
"It's like training but in your mind, it's good for long trips like this, Piccolo dose it all the time but I actually think he sleeps" Kuroda whispered, "I do not sleep during my meditation!" Piccolo shouted
"Do you guys think we'll run into Vegeta or Turles on the way to Namek?" Bulma asked, "It's been weeks since Vegeta left earth, he's probably being patched up and planning to go back to earth for revenge" Raditz answered
"If he goes back to earth the only people who will be able to stop him are Goku and Tarble, you think they will be strong enough to stop him?" Yamcha questioned.
"I don't really know but that's not our concern right now, our only concern should be getting our friends back"

Vegeta was inside of a healing chamber getting his wounds healed from his battle on earth, a doctor walked inside the room, "He's almost fully recovered thank goodness" he said, the doctor started working on the console "Whatever Prince Vegeta fought gave him a hard time, he's lucky to be alive".
"Initiating draining procedure" the doctor pressed a button and the water in the chamber began draining, Vegeta gained consciousness and shook the oxygen mask off his face, "You are fully healed now you can open your eyes".
Vegeta stood up and stepped out of the healing chamber "Unfortunately we couldn't save your tail" the doctor informed, "No matter, I don't need it anyway" Vegeta began flexing his muscles, "Come my Prince let us get you some new clothes" the doctor said as he led Vegeta down the hall.
"Would you mind telling me what happened? Telling by the damage on your armor you took quite the beating"
"I don't want to talk about it" Vegeta said as he put on new clothes, "Ego is damaged as well I see, you can at least tell me what happened to Nappa and your brother" the doctor said, "Nappa's dead and I left Tarble behind I didn't need him" Vegeta answered bluntly.
"I see"
"Is Frieza here?"
"He left. I don't know where he his. Perhaps Cui can help you find him, I saw him on the way to the training center you can catch him there before he leaves if you hurry"
"I have no use for that coward, if you see Frieza tell him I'm looking for him" Vegeta then walked off, "Vegeta wait" The doctor noticed that Vegeta forgot his scouter, "Sir you're leaving your scouter behind" he said.
"It's yours I don't need it"
Vegeta began walking down the hallway passing multiple soldiers, 'There's nothing I want more that to return to earth, pay a little visit to Kuroda. But first to planet Namek I need to pick something up'.
Vegeta looked up and saw Cui ahead of him, "Well Vegeta I heard you took a beating recently and if the rumors are true you couldn't beat a third class Saiyan" he insulted, "Drop it Cui, I don't have time to gossip with halfwits like you" Vegeta shot back.
Cui grabbed Vegeta by the shoulder, "You know Frieza isn't to please with your attitude Vegeta", Vegeta began laughing, "I'd like to see him try to do something about it", Cui was shocked by Vegeta's boldness and let go of his shoulder.
"Your biting off more than you can chew Vegeta, no one has survived a fight with Frieza"
"How about you shut up and tell me where Frieza is".
Cui let out a smirk, "Planet Namek".
Vegeta gritted his teeth, 'What, how could he know? If I don't beat him to the dragon balls I'll never be able to beat him'.
"Why don't you do the smart thing and just give up Vegeta, there's no way Your getting the dragon balls before Lord Frieza"
Vegeta started sprinting down the hallway, on the way he saw the doctor with his scouter and snatched it out of his hands, "Sorry doc I'll be needing this after all" Vegeta ran outside and quickly hopped in his pod.
"Vegeta!" Cui shouted as the watched the pod take off
"Alright Frieza I'm coming for you!" As Vegeta's pod began to rocket off he felt his pod being pulled forcefully, "What is the meaning of this!" He shouted through his communication speaker, "Calm down Prince Vegeta, I just want to talk and invite you aboard," a soft voice spoke back.
Vegeta was furious until he heard himself being referred to as Prince this caught his attention, Vegeta eyes went wide as he felt a great power level on the ship, one that was greater than his.
'What is this power and how am I sensing it without a scouter…this must be what Raditz was talking about sensing power levels'
The ship's tractor beam finished pulling the pod into the ship, Vegeta hopped out of his pod ready for combat.
"At ease Prince Vegeta no harm will be put upon you"
Vegeta's eyes went wide as he saw Turles not expecting to meet another Saiyan ever, "Another Saiyan? State your name" Vegeta demanded, "The name is Turles sir but you wouldn't know the name I'm nothing but a low class Saiyan" Turles said introducing himself.
'This low class warrior also has a greater power than me? This is sickening'
"Alright you've gotten my attention what do you want?"
"I wanted to speak to you about Kuroda, I know you've encountered her most recently and knowing as much about you as I do I assume you want revenge correct?"
"Perhaps, what of it?"
"Well my Prince I think we should align ourselves to defeat a common enemy, you can take Kuroda but I want Raditz and I could care less what happens to Kakarot. What do you say Vegeta?" Turles held out his prosthetic hand to shake.
"Give me one reason I should join you?"
"Well like I said before we have a common enemy for one, the second reason is because well we have numbers and my squadron are very well trained and they could be quiet useful to you and the third reason is because my power is far greater than yours and if you decline my offer I could kill you where you stand"
Vegeta got defensive at Turles' words, Turles put his hands up and smiled "But I would never do that to my Prince, I'm sure with a few days of training you will be able to surpass me in no time" Turles chuckled.
"Alright you got yourself a deal" Vegeta shook Turles hand, "But Kuroda is going to have to wait I have bigger things I'm chasing right now. Since you've been to Earth I'm sure you've heard of the dragon balls"
"The dragons what?"
"The dragon balls are seven mystical balls created by the Namekians, when all seven are collected you can summon the dragon and he will grant you a wish. My plan is to go to planet Namek and wish for immortality so I can have the power to defeat Frieza, but I've recently found out that Frieza is on his way there and I'm trying to beat him to it"
"Challenging Frieza? You must be looking for a death wish and I'm in as long as I get a wish."
"After I get my immortality I don't care what you do with the rest of the wishes, if there are any left. I must let you know that Kuroda and those earthlings are probably on their way to Namek as well to bring back their friends, so we should keep our guard up."
"Two bird with one stone, sounds good to me. Oh I'm so rude let me introduce you to the rest of my crew" Turles snapped his fingers and from the corners of the room the members of Turles Crusher Corp revealed themselves.
'I'm so foolish I was so focused on his power level I didn't even sense his lackeys, they had an ambush planned the whole time'.
"Vegeta meet my crew, they are at your service just like they are at mine" The crew bowed down at Vegeta, "Prince Vegeta, I would like to inform you that Planet Namek will only take a months time to get there" Rasin said.
"Set course then"
"Right away sir" the twins then ran off
"Do you need any food Prince Vegeta?" Teriya asked, "The only thing I need is a good place to train and sleep" Vegeta said, "That can easily be done, Cacao you will show Vegeta the guest chambers and the training room, Daiz and Amond I want you to then train with Prince Vegeta and don't stop until he confirms he is satisfied, understood?".
"Yes Lord Turles"
"Follow us Prince Vegeta" the three began to lead Vegeta to his room, "Turles are you sure about all of this?" Teriya asked, "Everything is going to be fine my love, we're just making a short trip and if we run into Raditz and the others we'll deal with them".
"Do you actually trust Vegeta?"
"Of course not, I'm not a fool but if he can assist us in this mission then so be it, but we will be two steps ahead of the Prince don't worry"
The ship began taking off and heading in the direction of Namek.
The Z Fighters finally take off to planet Namek to pursue the dragon balls and bring back their friends, but little do they know Vegeta, Turles and Frieza are also heading there for the same reason.
Who will make it to Planet Namek first? Find out next time on The Story Of Kuroda.
A/N:
Sorry for such a short chapter but I can gladly say we are going straight to Planet Namek after this chapter. I'm very excited for this and I can't wait for you guys to experience this. This saga is where power scaling gets a little nuts so I'll be taking a while calculating power levels and making sure everything is balanced, I'll also like to note that there's gonna be a lot of characters in this saga so I'll try to keep up with everyone.
Also I'm getting a lot of reviews on my first few chapters talking about how bad my writing was back in the day so I will be going back and fixing what I can.
