Several minutes went by which felt like an eternity as Gohan and Ocarin waited for Krillin to return. Vegeta had went inside the ship to take a nap, leaving the two alone outside. Then Gohan looked up when he sensed something from the distance. He spotted three figures flying towards them and stood up. "Hey, there he is and there's someone else with him!" Gohan shouted. Ocarin stood up as well and followed after Gohan as he flew off to meet up with them. "It is Krillin! And Dende, as well!" Ocarin looked ahead, seeing Krillin and Dende and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw that it was Necke with them as well.

"And Necke too?" Ocarin pondered as well, wondering why the two Namekian children had come.

"Look its Gohan and Ocarin!" Krillin said to Dende and Necke.

"And they're alright!" Dende smiled. The group stopped as they met up with each other.

"It's nice to see you two." Necke said, smiling as well.

"Krillin, I'm happy that you made it back here okay!" Gohan smiled.

"What, you didn't think that I couldn't do it?" Krillin joked.

"Dende, Necke, why are you here? Wait a minute, do you know the password?" Ocarin asked the two. Dende nodded.

"Yes!" Krillin frowned when he didn't see Vegeta anywhere.

"Why isn't Vegeta here? Wasn't he supposed to helping you both protect the Dragon balls?" Krillin asked Gohan and Ocarin.

"He went inside the ship to take a nap." Ocarin replied, pointing her thumb towards the ship.

"But that was like an hour ago." Gohan explained as well.

"I think that we should take this chance and screw Vegeta over before he wakes up." Ocarin said, smirking. Krillin nodded.

"This is perfect! All we have to do is gather up the Dragon balls, but we have to be quiet not to wake him up. Then we take the balls to a further location, so when he does wake up it'll take a while to get to us!" He said.

"Then let's hurry!" Gohan agreed as well. He flew over to the ship to make sure that Vegeta was still asleep while Krillin, Dende, and Ocarin and Necke gathered the Dragon balls. Gohan ran back to them and told the group the Saiyan prince was still sound asleep. Then Gohan grabbed the last two of the seven Dragon balls.

"Let's go!" The group flew away from Frieza's ship with the Dragon balls and landed on a plateau a little further away and placed the orbs on the ground. Dende stood in front of them as they were about to summon the dragon.

"We're counting on you, Dende." Ocarin smiled.

"Yes." Dende replied.

"So, how do you activate the Dragon balls?" Krillin asked Dende.

"It's in Namekian. You have to speak it to be able to use them." Necke told them. Krillin and Gohan eyes widen in surprise. Ocarin smirked.

"That's actually pretty smart. Although, not smart for Frieza considering, well, you know..." She paused. Krillin gave her a look telling her to be quiet.

"Speaking of Frieza, do you guys sense that?" Gohan asked. Ocarin frowned looking over in the direction that the boy was looking. Krillin, Necke and Dende could sense the terrible power as well. Necke's body began to tremble as he tried to stop his hands from shaking. He glanced over at Dende, who did the same as the two looked at each other in worry.

"Nail. He couldn't hold Frieza long enough." Necke said, scared. Ocarin's eyes widened. Nail went against Frieza? Neither of them was strong enough to fight him. She quickly turned to Dende.

"Dende, hurry!" She exclaimed. Dende turned to the seven large magical orbs and began to chant in Namekian to awaken the dragon. As he finished, everyone waited, but nothing happened.

"Are you sure that's the right password?" Krillin asked. Then one by one each of the Dragon balls began to glow as they activated.

"They're glowing!" Gohan cried out. Then the sky immediately turned dark as dark green clouds swirled above them.

"Look at the sky!"

"I guess that means they're working, now." Ocarin said. Then a bolt of thunder came crashing down hitting the orbs and they began to floated upwards towards the sky. A large muscular green dragon with dark horns protruding on his head and few spikes on his shoulders and head, two antennas like the Namekians, a fin running down his back and a long slithering tail, began to manifest from it and was now towering of the group. His large red eyes glowed as he stared down at them waiting for the three wishes.

"So that's Porunga." Ocarin said in awe.

"He's huge!" Krillin exclaimed.

"A-Are you sure this is the Dragon?" Gohan asked. Dende nodded.

"Yes, Gohan. His name is Porunga and in Namek it means Dragon of dreams. But to be honest this is the first time that I've ever actually had a chance to see him."

"Me, as well." Necke said, looking up at the dragon. A deep voice echoed from the dragon's mouth as Porunga began to speak.

"You have collected all seven Dragon balls and now as it is written, think wisely and I will grant you three wishes within my power."

"So, the three wishes were true after all." Krillin murmured.

"That's right, now please hurry and make them!" Dende insisted.

"Let's start with wishing back everyone that was killed on Earth by Vegeta and his men." Ocarin answered. Dende nodded.

"Okay." He turned back to Porunga and spoke back in Namekian to the dragon.

"Your wish is unacceptable." Porunga replied. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"What, w-why?!" Gohan sputtered.

"Only one life can be restored." Porunga explained.

"Oh no!"

"Then who do we wish back?" Krillin asked unsure as he looked at Gohan. Gohan looked down as the two began to think when Ocarin spoke.

"Isn't it obvious, we wish Piccolo back." Gohan and Krillin both looked at her, surprise.

"But why him? What about Tien, Chiaotsu and Yamcha?" Krillin asked her.

"Think about it. If Piccolo comes back, then Kami will as well and so will the-" Ocarin paused, hinting. Gohan and Krillin's eyes widen a little more, both gasping at once.

"Our Dragon balls!" The two exclaimed.

"Exactly, we'll get an extra wish." Ocarin answered, smiling.

"Then let's do it!" Gohan shouted. Just before they could tell Dende to go ahead with the wish a familiar voice spoke that Gohan and Ocarin could only hear. "Hey Gohan! Ocarin! Can you hear me? It's me, Piccolo!" Ocarin's eyes widen as she looked around. Piccolo! It was really him! She couldn't have imagined it just now.

"I could've sworn I just heard Piccolo just now." Gohan murmured, confused.

"I did too." Ocarin replied. Krillin blinked as he looked at the two confused. Dende and Necke looked at them, confused as well.

"We can hear you, but how is this possible?" Ocarin asked.

"I'm speaking through King Kai. We don't have much time so I'll get straight to the point. Use your first wish to wish me back to life!" Piccolo said. Ocarin snickered. "What's so funny?"

"We were actually going to do that." She told him. There was a slight pause when Piccolo didn't answer. Ocarin figured that he was probably blushing from embarrassment before he finally answered.

"Oh. Good. Then now for the second wish, I'd like you to wish me over to the Planet Namek. That's where I belong! It's my people that Frieza destroyed, it's my fight! He needs to pay for what he's done, and I intend to make it! Do you two understand?"

"Crystal clear." Gohan told him.

"Read you loud and clear." Ocarin replied.

"Guess I'll be seeing you two very soon then."

"Yeah! We'll be fighting side by side again, just like on Earth!" Gohan grinned. Ocarin turned back to Dende who was still waiting for their wish. "Dende."

"Yes, what is it?!" He immediately answered her.

"For the first wish, can you ask the Dragon to wish back Piccolo to life." Ocarin told him. Dende turned back to the dragon and told the wish to Porunga in Namekian. The large dragon's eyes glowed red until they faded.

"Alright, it shall be done. As you wish." Porunga told them. "The one called Piccolo has been brought back. Now what is your second wish?"

"Great! Quick, Dende, for the second wish, ask the Dragon to brink Piccolo here to Planet Namek." Ocarin said. As Dende began to tell the dragon the second wish when Krillin's eyes widen along with Gohan's when they sensed another power level headed straight towards them, fast. It was coming from Frieza's ship.

"Guys! I sense Vegeta! He's coming over here!" Krillin cried out. Dende gasped and he quickly finished stating the second wish to the dragon. Porunga's eyes glowed bright red again.

"I will grant this wish. The one called Piccolo will be brought to Namek now." Porunga stated. "Your second wish has been granted. Now speak, tell me your last wish." Ocarin, Gohan and Krillin looked around in confusion. Piccolo was nowhere to be seen around them.

"I don't see him." Ocarin said.

"Are you sure he's here?" Gohan asked. Dende's eyes widened and he quickly turned back to the group.

"Wait! You wanted him right here!? He could be anywhere on the planet!"

"What?! Oh no!" Gohan exclaimed.

"We got too excited." Ocarin sighed.

"We could use this last wish to wish him here to this exact spot-!" Dende screamed. His eyes were wide with terror and he began to slowly back away from the group. Necke ran over towards Ocarin, hiding behind her leg. Krillin, Gohan and Ocarin quickly turned around and saw Vegeta standing behind them, scowling. He was furious.

"Vegeta!" Krillin cried out.

"What's the matter? You look surprised to see me." Vegeta twitched as he looked each one of them.

"Everything's fine, really!"

"No, everything's not fine. You three, you summoned the Dragon, didn't you!? I took you in, saved your lives, and for all of that, this is how you repay me!?" Vegeta spatted out, angrily.

"Well, that's your own fault. You shouldn't have been napping then." Ocarin retorted. Vegeta glared at her.

"Ocarin! Shush!" Krillin hissed.

"Hold on a second! You only wanted to use one wish, right? We've already used two of ours there's still one left!" Gohan shouted. Krillin and Ocarin both looked at Gohan in disbelief.

"Gohan! Why would you tell him that!?" Krillin shouted. Gohan cringed. Vegeta smirked and let out a dark chuckle.

"Good. I'm glad you're not as smart as I thought you were. Ask him to grant me eternal life, now!" He pushed past Krillin and Ocarin and walked over to Dende, who only backed away from him. Vegeta grabbed the Namekian boy by his collar and lifted him up. "Come here, you little green brat!"

"Put him down!" Ocarin growled.

"Let go!" Dende shouted as he tried to get out of Vegeta's grip. Krillin gritted his teeth before turning to Gohan.

"Do or die, we need to stop this now."

"Frieza's on the way and my dad still needs more time to heal." Gohan replied.


Piccolo blinked as he stared down at the blue grass. He stood up and looked around at the Planet Namek, taking in every inch of his surroundings. The green sky, more island plateaus and mountains surrounded with water that covered the entire planet going on for miles. It felt familiar to him, almost peaceful. This was his home. Where he could belong without being looked up to in fear or being judge by his appearance.

"This is it, huh? Namek, my home. This is what I've earned for my whole life. Without ever knowing that it was here." It was quiet and calm, like Ocarin. Piccolo's eyes widen. Ocarin! He shook his head as he began to look around. "No, no time. I have to stay focused! Let's see, Gohan, Ocarin. Where are you?! They're not even close. I guess the Dragon got bad aim." Piccolo continued to search around for their energy levels when he sensed an large spike of energy in once direction which sent chills throughout his entire body.

Frieza's.

Piccolo's eyes widen in shock. "Huh?! I've never felt a power like this one and it's dark. He's stronger than I've imagined it would be!" Piccolo chuckled and cracked his knuckles and smirked. He had been anticipating this fight for a while. Just how strong was this Frieza character? Guess, he was going to have to find out for himself! "You only live once. Looks like I'm back in action! Here I come!"

He quickly flew off heading in the direction where the dark energy was coming, hoping that he wasn't too late to make to the others.

Don't you die on me, Ocarin. Just hold on just a bit longer! I'm almost there!


Dende struggled, trying to get Vegeta to release him. "Put me down! I can't grant your wish!" He cried out.

"You heard me, make the darn wish! What's the matter? Don't tell you'd rather be destroyed by Frieza! Don't you get it? I'm the only one who can stop him!" Vegeta shouted.

"We're out of time! Frieza's close, I can feel him!" Gohan shouted.

"Dende, do whatever Vegeta tells you!" Krillin shouted at Dende.

"No, we save the last wish." Ocarin said. "Dende, don't make that wish yet!"

"Don't play games with me!" Vegeta shouted at her before he turned back to Dende. "You listen to me, brat, grant my wish now or we're all going to die!" Dende shifted his eyes back and forth to Vegeta then to Ocarin, then kept his eyes on her.

"Dende, listen to me. Save that wish for something important. We might need to use it later. Don't use it yet!" Ocarin pleaded to him. Vegeta snapped his head back to her.

"I've just about had enough of you!" He growled. Then Vegeta threw Dende roughly to the ground in front of the orbs. "Do it, boy, make the wish!" Dende got up but didn't move from his spot. His body was trembling as he looked at Vegeta, completely scared. Vegeta gritted his teeth in frustration. "What are you waiting for? Get on with it!"

"You're confusing him! Stop it!" Ocarin shouted at Vegeta. She started to step over to him when the Dragon balls suddenly started to blink faintly and their glow started to fade. The dragon's eyes went completely dark before he started to crumble and fall apart. Then one by one the seven dragon balls fell to the ground turned completely into solid stone.

"What's going on!? What happened?!" Vegeta demanded. Dende fell to the ground on his knees, tears started to drip down from his cheeks. Necke cried as well as he buried his face into Ocarin's leg. Ocarin bent down to him picking him up in her arms and walked over to Dende, kneeling down to him.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly.

"Guru. It's Guru."

"Dende, are you alright? What's the matter?" Gohan asked him. Dende shook his head sadly as he cried.

"It's Guru. He's gone." Vegeta's eyes widened and he ran over to Dende.

"You mean when this guy kicks it the Dragon balls are completely useless?!" He exclaimed.

"Yes, they're part of him."

Vegeta gritted his teeth before he turned to Gohan and Krillin who backed away from him fearfully.

"So, I guess we're back to where we started. I was about to kill you guys, wasn't I?" Vegeta smirked. Then he turned back to Ocarin, holding Necke tightly in her arms. Necke hid his face in Ocarin's chest as he grasped her shirt tightly, scared. Dende ran hiding behind her as she pushed him behind her. Ocarin glared at Vegeta as he stared down, glaring back at her. "Starting with you!"

Before Vegeta took another step, he stopped in his tracks. His eyes widen and mouth dropped and his body started to tremble. Ocarin saw the color drained completely from Vegeta's face as it pale and stricken with beads of sweat as stared behind her. She saw Gohan and Krillin shaking as well as they were frozen from their spots as well in fear. Ocarin could feel the large amount of energy behind her and she slowly turned her head around. Her eyes widened seeing Frieza standing above them on the edge of the cliff looking down at them with a sickening smirk stretched across his face. His eyes stared right back into hers as they started to scan the group one by one. Dende clinged tightly to her shirt as he cried out in fear.

"Frieza." Ocarin murmured. Frieza twitched as he stared down at the group completely enraged.

"So, you're the ones who defeated the Ginyu force. But now it's your turn! Don't worry it won't hurt too bad."
