Foreword: Time for the battle against Frieza! With a Piccolo that has made the endeavor to learn and master Kaioken plus Goku being present from the beginning, how will this fight play out? Let's see...

Bansuri: 'We either need to put this monster down now or stall until father arrives. We'll start with the former and if that doesn't work lean into the latter...'

Vegeta: "What's wrong Frieza? Didn't get your way?"

Bansuri: '...Right...him.'

Bansuri looked at the saiyan prince currently making things more difficult than they need to be with a flat unamused look.

Bansuri: 'This idiot is gonna be the death of us'

Frieza: "Oh? You think 5 ants can defeat a dinosaur?"

Vegeta: "I know we can, I'm far stronger now and if I can't beat you the Namekian or Kakarot could"

Frieza: "Kakarot? That's a Saiyan name isn't it?"

Frieza looked at Goku for a long time before a memory clicked into the forefront, the image of a Saiyan who was the spitting image of this one rebelling against him with scars and a red headband. Frieza shook off the memory and smirked.

Frieza: "You truly think your monkey or a slug friend could best me?"

Vegeta: "I know they can"

Frieza paused at this, usually Vegeta would be all about himself but here he is saying there were 2 people stronger than him? That was certainly a novel concept. The Namekian present raised their hand and when Frieza looked at them they spoke.

Bansuri: "For the sake of clarity, we are not friends with Vegeta and think he is a pompous self-centered, arrogant prick. Also, I'd like to ask, has he always been such a pain to work with or is this a new thing?"

Frieza chuckled at the candor and the question and being amused decided to humor the question with an honest answer.

Frieza: "He has always had a poor attitude and a hard time making friends or working with colleagues in the Frieza Force. I doubt his father taught him respect as a boy."

Bansuri: "Yeah that sounds about right...the highlight of working with Vegeta today was watching him get a kicking from...Recoome? Yes Recoome"

Frieza laughed at the statement and the mental image that came with it.

Frieza: "You're quiet the amusing fellow, might I know your name?"

Bansuri: "My name is Bansuri, [Points to Goku] that's Goku, [Points to Gohan] Gohan and Krillin [points to Krillin]. They are friends of mine"

Frieza: "I thought he was named Kakarot?"

Bansuri: "That's his Saiyan name, we call him Goku"

Frieza: "Fair enough, since you lot are rather strong I will ask if you would like to join the Frieza Force. I've suddenly lost an elite force and I believe that the lot of you would be suitable replacements, even the youth, Gohan."

Bansuri: "Apologies Frieza, but given the general objection to genocide any half decent person has, we'll have to respectfully decline the offer"

Frieza: [Shrugs] "If that's how you feel then unfortunately your lives are forfeit"

Bansuri: "Can you honestly say you've never killed one of your own men?"

Frieza: "You know what? That is a valid point"

As Frieza shifted his footing to prepare to launch forward and attack, Bansuri noticed that Piccolo had halted his approach for some reason and that Vegeta was about to launch in to meet Frieza half way. Bansuri watched Vegeta and Frieza clashed, the 2 looking equal on the surface but Bansuri could sense that Frieza had more power to bring forward, the grapple lock ending with a crater between the 2 when they jumped back.

Frieza: "Well Vegeta, I must say you truly have become stronger. I'm almost impressed"

Vegeta: "Hmph! Don't toy with me freak! I know you can transform"

Bansuri: "And yet you insist on aggravating him? I guess bloodthirst, stupidity and arrogance are your flaws, did I miss any?"

Frieza: "No I think that's the lot of them"

Vegeta: "Just shut up and transform already!"

Bansuri: "How about we end this now instead?"

Bansuri used a mastered Kaioken and proceeded to speed blitz and pummel Frieza, not giving the tyrant any chance to transform and unleash his power.

Frieza: 'Damn it! Vegeta wasn't kidding, this Namekian can beat me! I need a moment to get to my true form!'

Frieza's eyes darted around for something he could use as a distraction when he spotted a ship with a spherical design with the word "Capsule" on it. Guessing that this is the ship Bansuri's friends came to Namek on, Frieza picks his moment and fires a blast at the ship, the dark purple orb speeding toward the ship only for the Namekian to vanish from his place of planting a fist in Frieza's face and appearing in front of the ship to slap away the energy ball into space. The momentary lapse in the beating Frieza was taking being more than enough to unleash his energy and take his true form, the surge of energy being enough to slam Bansuri into the water and startle the hell out of everyone able to sense energy.

Frieza: "To force me to go so far...You truly are worthy of praise Bansuri"

Frieza was about to open his mouth again when he was met with a haymaker punch to the jaw from Goku, sending the tyrant into a distant rockface as Bansuri came out of the water and flew beside Goku.

Bansuri: "I am going to need to crank up Kaioken to times 20. Please tell me you mastered times 10 at least."

Goku: "Yeah, how about you?"

Bansuri: "...Times 15 is the highest I've mastered. I can hold times 20 unmastered but it's a strain and a drain. We need to do this fast."

Piccolo: "Don't worry Bansuri, you've got help"

Bansuri and Goku both jumped at the voice and turned to see Piccolo and sensed that his power has taken a hell of a jump!

Goku: "Wow! You've gotten seriously strong!"

Bansuri: "Father, what is the highest level of Kaioken you've mastered?"

Piccolo: "Times 10 but I can handle times 20 like you can"

Bansuri: "Alright, we can do this"

Frieza flew at the 3 Z fighters and they responded in kind, a red aura flaring to life around the Namekians and the Saiyan bulking up slightly and veins showing through to face the tyrant, the trio being able to push back the monstrously strong alien with numbers and skill.

Frieza: 'Arrrgh! If it was just one of them I would be able to trounce them but with three of them I can't deal a killing blow!'

Frieza let out an agonized yell as Bansuri made an energy blade on their hand and cut off Frieza's tail, Frieza lashing out with a backhand only to be interrupted by Goku and Piccolo. As the battle dragged on, Bansuri and Piccolo lost stamina from the unmastered Kaioken and started easing into more support oriented fighting with compressed energy blasts and blades. Bansuri even threw in magic to turn Frieza's attacks against him and throw the tyrant off balance but the hectic nature of the fight prevented all in combat to neglect their surroundings, a powerful blast from Frieza hitting a landmass with a fiery explosion instead of a dust cloud, the fireball catching Goku's attention and earning him a punch that sent him into the ground and close enough to hear the consequences of the dodged attack.

Krillin: "The ship! Bulma was in there!"

Gohan: "Bulma! NOOO!"

Goku: "W-What!?"

Bansuri and Piccolo heard the commotion and winced in tandem knowing that with how strong Frieza is they were not likely to win, with the ship blown up and no-one to pilot it they had no way home if they did manage to force a victory.

Goku got to his feet, the fires of the ship reflecting in his eyes and images of the times he traveled with Bulma flashing through his head. She was his first friend, the first person he met after he lost Grandpa Gohan, she was the one that traveled with him when he met Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin. If he never met her, he never would have met his friends. All of the images of a lifetime flashed in Goku's mind as his emotions boiled and his rage built higher and higher.

Bansuri and Piccolo kept pushing themselves to fight Frieza, the monster now toying with them when they noticed Goku's power skyrocketing to levels greater than any Kaioken they had seen him do, the battle pausing as they turned to look at their trembling friend, sparks of a yellow aura flaring around him and his hair starting to stand up and flash blonde.

Frieza: "Awww, is the monkey sad I blew up his ship? Don't worry...You won't be needing it soon"

Goku jolted and with a roar he erupted with power, a yellow aura flaring to life around him and his hair firmly stood up and blonde. Vegeta let out a mix of a gasp and a strangled cough.

Vegeta: "H-he's done it! He's become the legendary Super Saiyan!"

Bansuri: "...Father, I believe we may wish to get out of the way. Quickly."

Piccolo nodded and both Namekians quickly got out of the way of the now irate and Super Saiyan Goku, their friend quickly assailing the now outmatched villain with a flurry of punches and kicks all of which were targeted at vitals making the beating a torturous affair for the despot. Goku ended a particular combo with a powerful kick to send Frieza skyward and promptly started charging a Kamehameha before firing it and blasting Frieza up and away from the planet but continuing to push the beam.

Frieza: 'Damn that monkey! Why can't I push this blast away!? Why is he still pushing me?...Why is it getting warmer?'

Frieza looked to where he was pushed and realized; he was getting pushed into the sun! He was being pushed too fast to move sideways and the blast was too strong to push off of him. The heat kept rising and rising, the tyrant letting a scream into the void, the sound dying in the vacuum as he died of being burnt alive.

Back on Namek Goku felt Frieza's energy fade and he stopped pushing his energy into the blast, the Super Saiyan descending to the ground before falling to his knees in exhuastion and sorrow, the golden aura fading as Goku stared at the ground feeling empty in his victory. Bansuri gingerly approached the Saiyan, before putting a supportive hand on his shoulder.

Bansuri: "All is not lost Goku, we have the Earth Dragon Balls again. All we need to do is make the wish "To revive all those killed by Frieza and his men". Vegeta and Nappa were technically in Frieza's employ when they attacked Earth you know"

Goku looked at Bansuri with surprise, then thoughtfulness then joy realizing Bansuri was right. Bansuri looked up at the sky.

Bansuri: "King Kai, could you please-"

King Kai: "Don't sweat it kiddo, I already told 'em"

Goku gave Bansuri a thankful smile as the Namekian brought him back onto his feet, healing him and restoring him to pristine condition even using conjuration magic to fix Goku's clothes before fixing his own and moving on to Piccolo to heal and tidy him up. Vegeta stomped over to Goku.

Vegeta: "Tell me how to become Super Saiyan!"

Bansuri rolled his eyes and tuned out the rest of the conversation as he put his father back into perfect condition before healing and tidying himself up after. Bansuri and Piccolo both tuned back in to the Saiyan conversation to hear Goku trying to explain what happened to make him transform and both Namekians getting sour expressions at the idea of Vegeta having that sort of power.

Goku: "Well, everything just sort of builds up then explodes and then I'm Super Saiyan"

Bansuri and Piccolo both chuckle at the poor explanation and the face Vegeta was making before they started shouting at Goku again. Bansuri and Piccolo give each other amused smirks before Bansuri hears a voice.

Guru: 'Bansuri, it is time for the reward I had promised you. Please return to my side so I may bestow it upon you'

Bansuri: "If that is what you wish Grand Elder. Father, the Grand Elder wishes to give me something. I will return as soon as I can."

Piccolo: "Alright, I'll keep an eye on Vegeta to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. It's good to see you Bansuri"

Bansuri: [Gentle smile] "It's good to see you too father"

Bansuri flies away, leaving a proud looking Piccolo before the smile vanishes from his face at hearing Vegeta threatening Krillin's life for information on becoming Super Saiyan.

Piccolo: [Sigh] "Gohan is behaving better than the 2 supposed adults... What a world we live in"

Bansuri touches down outside Guru's house, the platform feeling empty without Nail standing guard but Bansuri could sense that Guru was not alone and when he entered Guru's house he saw the Grand Elder Guru with Elder Moori stood beside him.

Bansuri: "You wished to see me after Frieza was dealt with Grand Elder?"

Guru: "There is no need to refer to me with such a title any more, I have bestowed the title and the Dragon Ball's care to Moori."

Bansuri: "Okaaaay. May I ask why?"

Guru: "Because I feel I am not long for this world, over 500 years I have cared for this planet and now I feel that I must pass this duty to another before my life comes to an end"

Bansuri: "Oh. I imagine you have a final request for me?"

Guru: "I do, however it is partly a gift to you as well"

Bansuri gives a very confused look to Guru, prompting the Elder to elaborate.

Guru: "I wish to pass my knowledge, my wisdom, my experience, my strength and my existence to you. I seek to be assimilated into you by Fusion"

Bansuri: "...So that's how father suddenly gained such power!"

Guru: "Yes, your Father Piccolo fused with Nail to attain a power great enough to face the evil that threatened our land. You father also gained knowledge and understanding from this union and remains himself while gaining aspects from Nail."

Bansuri: "I see...and you want to do the same?"

Guru: "Yes. My affairs have been put in order. I am ready to go"

Bansuri: "...I accept this honor Guru...so how do we do this?"

Guru: "You need only lay a hand on me and I shall do the rest"

Bansuri nods, placing his hand on the larger elder's knee before Guru let's out an impressively powerful roar and energy erupts from his body before he starts to glow then in a flash of light vanishes, leaving only Bansuri and Moori in the room. Bansuri stands with his eyes closed, making sense of the lifetime that has just become part of his existence, the lessons learned, the ancient knowledge and the ability that catches him off-guard? The ability to awaken dormant potential and with this ability, an idea to leave a parting gift to the Namekians before he leaves.

Bansuri: "Grand Elder Moori, I wish to help the people of Namek so they can better protect their home. Would you be so kind as to gather the Namekians who wish to fight to protect their home?"

Moori looks confused for a moment before understanding dawns on him and he nods to accomplish the task set by the Namekian Savior.

Back on Earth Popo stands before the Dragon Balls, all seven glowing with inner power before a pillar of light bursts forth and a long serpentine dragon appears before the genie, the Eternal Dragon Shenron.

Shenron: "Speak your wish and I shall grant it"

Popo: "Eternal Dragon, I wish that all those killed by Frieza and his men were brought back to the land of the living!"

Shenron: "A trivial matter"

The Dragon's eyes glow a bright red as the people from the leveled city on Earth are brought back to life, their homes repaired as an extra thrown in by the Dragon, the fighters killed by Vegeta and Nappa wake up in the Wasteland, now no longer on King Kai's planet and being way stronger from the training done there, the dead Namekians on planet Namek waking up where they fell and Bulma suddenly being in the smoldering wreckage of her ship.

Bulma: "Oh come on! My stuff is gone!"

Goku: "Bulma!"

Bulma: "Huh?"

Bulma quickly found herself in the center of a group hug, the group talking over each other to get her up to speed as she tried to follow what they were saying.

Bulma: "One at a time!"

Silence reigned for a moment, before she was bombarded by everyone talking at once again.

Shenron: "Your wish has been granted. I will take my leave. Farewell"

The Dragon disappeared in a pillar of light which split in 7 directions then faded away.
