Krillin and Kuroda were flying towards Guru's home, Krillin grew concerned about the other and pulled out his communicator "Hey uh status report, everyone okay?".
Raditz: "We're headed over towards Guru's, I'm pretty sure he has a dragon ball".
"How convenient we're headed the same way," Kuroda said.
Yamcha: "Bulma are you okay?".
Bulma: "Yea I'm fine I just got through moving all our stuff into a cave, thanks for the help by the way kids".
The kids: "Sorry".
Bulma: "Anyway I have good news, Goku and Tarble are on the way here to help".
Goten: "My dad's on the way?".
Bulma: "Yep and they should be here in about six days".
Yamcha: "That's great at least we won't be stuck here for that long"
"Piccolo status?" Krillin asked.
Piccolo: "Me and the kids just got out of a chase with one of Frieza's men, I tried to snag two of the dragon balls but I lost one trying to distract him and now Vegeta probably has it. We also have a kid and one of Kuroda's friends, Batu I think".
Kuroda grabbed the communicator from Krillin, "You have Batu? Is he okay?" She asked, "He's a little beaten up but he's still alive" Piccolo answered, "Okay we should all meet up at Guru's, he's in the eastern direction. Gohan, how are you doing?".
There was no response for a while but then Gohan spoke up, "I have a dragon ball and I met your friends Kuroda" Gohan mumbled, "Oh Itar and Iren? Are they with you?".
Gohan got quiet again "No, I had to leave because Turles showed up. He wanted the dragon ball but I promised to protect it. I wanted to help but they told me to leave so I did and I only feel one Namekian still alive, I think it's Iren".
Kuroda began to squeeze the communicator tightly, she then let out an exhale, "Just meet us at Guru's we'll make a plan from there".
"Got it, see you guys soon".
Kuroda handed the communicator back to Krillin, "Hey babe are you okay?" Krillin asked, "Yeah I'm fine, I'm going to fix this and bring everyone back" Kuroda said, "Well we're here to help Kuroda don't think you have to do everything by yourself".
"I know, thanks Krillin" Kuroda slowed down and kissed Krillin on the cheek, Krillin blushed "No problem honey".
'Kuroda can you hear me?'
"King Kai? Is that you?"
'Yes it is, I wanted to tell you that your friends have made it to my planet and they've started training'
"That's great to hear cause we might need the back up. We're on Planet Namek right now trying to use the dragon balls to bring them back, but Frieza is here trying to get them as well"
'Did you say Frieza?!'
"Yeah"
'Kuroda whatever you do you cannot fight him, you're nowhere near his power.'
"But King Kai, someone has to stop him, if I could beat Vegeta surely I can beat him right?"
'I'm telling you this for your sake and the sake of the universe do not fight him!!'
"I'm not afraid of him anymore King Kai, I'm not a kid anymore I know my capabilities, I've fought multiple enemies who were stronger than me and I've always came out on top"
'I know Kuroda but this is different, promise me you will not fight Frieza under any circumstances'
"I…promise"
Line break*
"Thank you I'll keep in touch" King Kai let out a sigh, "You know she's not going to listen to you right? She didn't even listen to me when she was little, she has her father's ignorance" King Kai turned around and saw Gine behind her.
"Yeah I know…"
Line break*
Frieza, Zarbon, and another soldier were waiting on Dodoria but there was no sign of him, "This has taken far too long, Dodoria should've been back by now. Perhaps I should go look for him" Zarbon said.
"Forget him, if Dodoria can't handle a Namekian and some pest then I don't want him back. We will continue to search for the other dragon balls then hunt those pests down for the two that they stole from me" Frieza huffed.
"Finding the other villages will be difficult without a scouter" Zarbon informed, "I imagine it won't be that difficult, I'll take what dragon balls we have and return to the ship, if you find anything come back and report to me" Frieza commanded.
"Yes my lord" Zarbon and the random soldier took off into the air, "You go that way and I'll go the other, we'll meet back here in three hours", "Right" the two then split off.

Gohan was making his way to Guru's until he felt someone coming his way, "Turles" Gohan strayed off the path and found himself a good rock formation to hide in, Turles flew over head and began looking around for Gohan, "Where are you brat? If you don't show yourself I'll blast this whole island to bits" Turles shouted.
Gohan began to hold the dragon ball tighter, "This is your last chance boy!" Turles held a ki blast in his hand and prepared to blast the island, Gohan gritted his teeth trying to think of an idea.
Gohan tossed the dragon ball into the water in front of him and stepped out of hiding "Wait! I'm here okay", Turles landed in front of Gohan and looked around "Where is the dragon ball?" He asked.
"I-I don't have it…" Gohan mumbled, Turles grabbed Gohan by his shirt, "Don't lie to me, I know you have it around here somewhere" Turles began lifting Gohan off the ground.
"I-I'm not lying I got ambushed by one of Frieza's men and they took the ball from me, he was way stronger than me so I couldn't stop him".
Turles turned on this scouter while looking in the distance and read a power level of 23,000, Turles let go of Gohan and slugged him in the stomach, Gohan fell to the ground in pain clutching his stomach.
Turles grabbed Gohan by his hair, "If I find out you lied to me I will kill you and your family" Turles pushed Gohan's face into the ground and took off.
Gohan started chuckling to himself, "He's going to be very mad when he finds out" Gohan got up and dragged the dragon ball out of the water, "I should get going before he comes back" Gohan then took off.

Vegeta was making his way through the Namek lands until he sensed a power level to the east of him and gave a malicious smile "Zarbon, this is my chance to take him out while he's alone" Vegeta then changed his course and headed towards Zarbon.
Line break*
Goku and Tarble we're training under twenty five times gravity trying to get used to the immense pressure, "So Tarble what are we getting ourselves into?" Goku asked as he was lifting weights.
"Well we're going against my brother, Turles and Frieza so I'll be surprised if we make it off the planet alive"
"I've heard a lot about this Frieza guy, he must be pretty strong huh"
"Yeah, he's the strongest person I've ever met"
"Oh man I'm excited now, I can't wait to fight this guy"
Tarble stopped what he was doing and looked at Goku "Kakarot you can't fight Frieza!" Goku put his weights down and put his hands on his hips. "What? Why not?" He asked.
"Frieza is too strong to be trifled with, even if all of us tried to overwhelm him he would still come out victorious. We shouldn't go out of our way to fight Frieza, we should only fight him if necessary. Do you understand Kakarot?"
"Fine whatever you say, you're the smart one after all. Hey how about we turn up the gravity and go a couple rounds?"
"If you'd like by all means"
Goku turned the gravity up to thirty and both him and Tarble struggled to stand, "Alright let's do this" Goku grunted, "Ready when you are" Tarble responded.

Zarbon was flying around looking for a village but couldn't find any "Damn it everything here looks the same how am I supposed to find a village at this rate" Zarbon looked ahead and saw someone flying towards him.
Zarbon's eyes went wide as he saw Vegeta charging at him at full speed with the dragon ball in his hand, Vegeta sent a kick towards Zarbon's head, Zarbon ducked out of the way of Vegeta and threw a kick of his own.
Vegeta dodged out of the way and jumped back, "I was hoping to take your head off with that kick", "You should know it'll take more than that to kill me Vegeta".
"Well it didn't take much to kill Dodoria"
"What?" Zarbon looked at the dragon ball in Vegeta's hand, "No there's no way you could've killed Dodoria", Vegeta began to chuckle "You know that's exactly how Cui and Dodoria died, they underestimated my power and that's how you will fall as well Zarbon".
"Vegeta!" Turles showed up and stood next to Vegeta, "What, another Saiyan? This must be your space pirate friend, did you call him here for assistance?", "Of course not, Turles hold on to this. I've got to get rid of this clown and don't even think about interfering" Vegeta handed the dragon ball to Turles.
"I wouldn't even think of it Vegeta, please knock yourself out" Turles landed on the ground so he could get a better view of the fight, "I heard that your sister died on this planet Zarbon, Toza was her name correct? I'll be happy to send you to her" Vegeta said.
Zarbon clenched his fist in anger "Keep my sister's name out of your mouth!" Zarbon charged at Vegeta and tried to punch him in the gut, Vegeta blocked the attack, Zarbon shot a ki blast at Vegeta but he disappeared before it could hit him.
Zarbon looked around trying to figure out Vegeta's whereabouts, Vegeta appeared behind Zarbon and kicked him in the back sending him crashing into the side of a hill, Zarbon burst out of the hill and shot a ki blast at Vegeta.
Vegeta with minimal effort swatted the blast into the water and it exploded behind him, "H-How?" Zarbon fretted, Vegeta blitzed Zarbon and elbowed him in the face, Zarbon retaliated with a barrage of kicks but Vegeta dodged them all and kicked Zarbon in the head.
Zarbon landed on his hands and knees as he hit the ground, Zarbon looked up but Vegeta was nowhere to be found, Vegeta once more appeared behind Zarbon and back handed him, sending him tumbling on the ground.
Zarbon began to laugh as he stood up on his feet, "What's wrong Zarbon? Have you gone mad?" Vegeta asked, "No…not at all, I just can't wait to wipe that smile off your face once you see my full power", "Full power you say, well come on let me see it then!".
"Be careful for what you ask for" Zarbon form began to bulk up and his face began to elongate as he transformed into his monster form, "This won't end well" Turles mumbled to himself.
"What the hell" Vegeta gasped, Zarbon charged at Vegeta and kneed him in the gut, Zarbon then punched him in the face, grabbed him by his head and started headbutting him multiple times.
Vegeta kicked Zarbon in the chin but Zarbon grabbed his leg and threw him into the air, Vegeta stopped himself mid air and the two charged at each other and began exchanging blows.
Zarbon continued to pummel Vegeta, Zarbon punched Vegeta into the gut he then spun around Vegeta and kicked him in the back sending him crashing down towards Turles.
Turles stepped out of the way and watched Vegeta hit the ground, "Do you want me to intervene now?" Turles asked in a mocking manner, Vegeta slowly got up "Shut…up" he said barely catching his breath.
"I'm done playing Vegeta, it's time to finish this!" Zarbon charged at Vegeta and closed lined him, he then grabbed Vegeta by the hair and started punching him in the face, he then threw him up into the air.
Vegeta was barely able to stay conscious as he flew through the air, Zarbon appeared behind him and grabbed him "Let's go on a little trip Vegeta" Zarbon started flying towards the ground at full speed and threw him, sending him crashing into the ground.
Vegeta laid on the ground unconscious, Zarbon picked up Vegeta and threw him in front of Turles "Hand over the dragon ball or you'll end up like him" Zarbon said, "I'm afraid I can't do that" Turles dropped the dragon ball near Vegeta.
"What chance do you think you have? I beat Vegeta and surely your weaker than him"
Turles started laughing, "Let me show you how wrong you are" Turles started charging up his power, Turles charged at Zarbon and cracked his armor with just one punch to the gut.
Zarbon staggered back and swung at Turles, Turles caught his fist with his robotic hand, Zarbon tried to hit him with his other fist but Turles caught that as well.
Turles slung Zarbon into the air and shot a barrage of ki blast at him, Zarbon was too late to dodge it and tried to block the barrage but was easily overwhelmed.
Zarbon fell to the ground badly damaged, "I-I don't understand how? How are you stronger than me!" Zarbon shouted, "I've been through a lot these past couple months, I've been beaten by those smarter than me and I've become stronger because of it".
Turles started forming a ki shaped ring in his hands, "You have ten seconds to leave before I kill you" Zarbon took off without hesitation trying to live another day, Turles let out a smile "Ten" Turles threw his Kill Driver at Zarbon as he flew away.
Zarbon tried to outrun Turles' attack but he was too slow and the Kill Driver engulfed him and tore him to shreds. Turles let out an exhale and looked towards the merely wounded Vegeta.
Turles tapped his scouter, "Amond, tell the twins to get the healing pod ready, I'm coming back to the ship" Turles picked up Vegeta and the dragon ball and headed back to his ship.

As Piccolo and the kids were flying and as they did they saw a singular house sitting on a hill, "There it is Guru's house!" Dende shouted.
"Finally I was getting tired of flying and this guy is really heavy" Trunks said, the group landed and was met with Kuroda, Krillin, Raditz and Yamcha, "About time you guys got here" Krillin said.
Yamcha walked up to the kids with a furious look "You three should be ashamed of yourself leaving Bulma all by herself what if she got hurt!" Yamcha scolded.
"Sorry Dad"
"Sorry Yamcha"
"It's fine at least everything turned out well in the end" Yamcha looked down at Dende, he then crouched down so he could be at eye level with him "Well hey little guy what's your name?"
"I'm Dende…" he mumbled, "He was the Namekian kid that we saved," Piccolo informed, "And here's Batu," Trunks said, pointing out the unconscious Batu on his back.
"Guys someones coming" Goten said, two Namekians stepped out of Guru's home and both of them Kuroda recognized, "It has been a long time Kuroda, you've grown up so much" Arp said, "You're looking a little old yourself Arp" Kuroda commented.
Arp chuckled, "Hey guys!" Gohan showed up and landed with the others, "Great everyone is here Guru has been expecting all of you, please come in" Nail said. Nail began to lead the Z Fighters into the house and there they saw the huge Namekian known as Guru.
"Kuroda, Raditz, it has been many years, it's good to see you doing well, it's unfortunate we couldn't meet under better circumstances." Guru turned and looked towards Piccolo and the kids "And I thank you for saving young Dende and Batu" Guru said.
"It was no biggie" Trunks said with a smile, "Now I must ask what brings you all here?" He asked, looking towards Kuroda and Raditz, Kuroda explains the whole situation that happened on Earth and tells Guru that they need the dragon balls to bring back their friends.
"Hm I see, if that is the case" Guru grabbed the dragon ball that sat above his chair and handed it to Kuroda, "Thank you Guru I won't let Vegeta or Frieza get their hands on it" Kuroda said.
Guru started coughing viciously "I advise you all to hurry, time has finally caught up to me and once I go the dragon balls will no longer work", "Great now we gotta collect the dragon balls and we're under a time limit? Can this day get any worse?" Krillin whined.
"Relax Krillin we have the dragon radar we know where they are at all times it can't be that hard to nab then" Yamcha said, "Well it seems like we have three, one is with Vegeta and the others are with Frieza" Piccolo informed.
"Yea it got worse" Krillin mopped, "You said you wanted the dragon balls to bring back your friends correct? How many are there?" Arp questioned, "Four" Raditz answered, "This might be a problem" Arp said.
"A problem? What's the problem?" Gohan asked, "Our dragon balls, though they are powerful, have certain limitations. When it comes to reviving the dead they can only be revived one at a time" Nail explained.
The Z Fighters began to sulk, "Wait a second I have an idea!" Trunks exclaimed "What if instead of using the Dragon Balls to revive the others we use the Dragon Balls to restore our Dragon Balls back on earth and they can bring them back".
Yamcha picked up Trunks and gave him a kiss on the forehead, "Trunks, that's a brilliant idea!" He shouted, "But what will we use the other wishes for?" Mitsu asked, "We'll think about it when we get there but at least we have a plan, our main priority should be to protect the dragon balls" Piccolo said.
"You kids take the dragon balls back to Bulma and keep them safe" Kuroda said, handing the dragon ball to Goten, "Yes ma'am" they said in unison.
"Wait before you leave, I sense untapped power in most of you and I would like to unlock it for you all. You young Namekian stand next to me" Guru said to Piccolo, Piccolo stood beside Guru, Guru placed his hand upon him and Piccolo felt a surge of power go through him.
"What did you just do to me?" Piccolo asked, "I unlocked your potential" Guru answered, "I wanna go next!" Goten shouted, "No way you're already strong enough I'm going next" Trunks argued.
"Raditz you plan on going?" Kuroda asked, "No if I have any untapped power I wanna unlock it myself" Raditz answered, "Yeah I was thinking the same, sorry Guru but we'll like to decline your offer" Kuroda said.
"Very well, anyone else?" Guru asked, Guru one by one unlocked the rest of the Z Fighters potential, "Wow this power feels amazing, so what do we do now?" Krillin asked.
"We need to find a way to get the rest of the dragon balls, while the kids make sure the dragon balls are secure with Bulma we should split up one after Vegeta and the other one after Frieza to try to take their dragon balls. Me and Raditz will make our way towards Frieza's, you guys should find Vegeta and Turles"
"Don't you think it'll be dangerous to go to Frieza?" Krillin asked, "Yeah but do we really have a choice, we can't just sit around and do nothing" Raditz said, "I will accompany you Kuroda, I will do the best I can to get the dragon balls away from Frieza" Arp said.
"Alright we'll keep in touch via communicators, we'll meet back here or wherever Bulma is"
The Z Fighters split up to try and gather the rest of the dragon balls.

Frieza was sitting in his chair surrounded by the dragon balls with his eyes closed, "It's been nearly two hours and Zarbon isn't back yet. He's probably dead, I'm gonna need more assistance if I want to get my wish. Appule!".
Appule quickly made his way into the chamber, "Yes my Lord?", "Call up the Ginyu's and tell them I want them here in five days and for them to bring the newest scouters" Frieza commanded.
"Yes my Lord" Appule made his way out.
Frieza was thinking about the individuals that took the dragon balls from him but he was specifically thinking about Goten and how familiar he looked, then it clicked in his head "That Saiyan from all those years ago is coming back to haunt me through his descendants" Frieza began to chuckle.
"I'll just have to kill them like how I did the rest of those monkeys"
Line break*
The Z Fighters have received a dragon ball from Guru and now have a plan to steal the dragon balls from the malicious tyrant Frieza, meanwhile with the sudden loss of Zarbon Frieza has called upon the Ginyu force to assist him in his endeavors.
Will the Z Fighters plan work? And how strong is this Ginyu force?
