Chapter Fourteen: Evil Tyrant
John flew his way in the air with such speed and high determination. Knowing that the danger that is Frieza is on Namek just shook him up like no tomorrow. The idea of Frieza wishing immortality with the Dragon Balls of Namek spelled doom for the whole Universe. An evil, careless, shameless, cold-hearted monster living the life of eternity continuing and enjoying his conquest, and the expansion of his empire. The thought of every innocent race of every planet, solar system, and galaxy will be reduced to being forced into the oppression of slavery to that evil tyrant, just put cold chills through John's body.
"Gotta get home fast. Bulma and the others need me on Namek." John told himself this before looking up to see a massive city appeared. He smiled big. "Yes, I made it to West City. Next stop, Capsule Corp."
With less time consuming he arrived at his home by dropping down in the backyard. Upon doing so he not only sees his father in law, he also sees his newest ship there looking grand and bulky. He looked at the massive ship and saw the family's company's name written in black bold which made him chuckle, since he knows that Bulma and Dr. Brief takes a huge amount of respect for their handiwork to the point they have to put either their company's name or logo on them.
"You really out done yourself, father in law." John spoke when approaching the man.
Dr. Brief, who was done doing some IT checking, walked down the ship's steps and saw and heard his son in law talk to him. "Ah, John, you're back in good health. Excellent my dear boy. Well, ain't she a beauty?."
"She sure is." John walked around the ship while both touching it and his father-in-law following him. "Man, you did a wonderful job in turning one of my and Goku's pods into a grand new one."
"Yes, it was fun reverse engineering one of those pods into making it easy to operate and have room to move around in. Here let me show you the inside." Dr. Brief guided John into the ship's interior.
Inside the whole area was empty with exception of the pilot seat and the large machine in the middle that is built from bottom to the ceiling.
"Since it's just going to be just you, I only built one passenger seat. The ship is a mobile home with a shower tub, a king and queen sized bed, bathroom, a washing and dryer machine, and a kitchen. Oh, I made sure I stocked enough food to last you to Namek and back." said Dr. Brief.
"Perfect. And my request?." John walked over to the large machine.
"Yes, there it is." Dr. Brief approached the machine. "Now, based upon the blueprints that Bulma has made, I constructed the gravity machine. It can only go up to one hundred, but I doubt you would dare turn that dial up to that number. Also, I installed your frappe machine as well. Let alone, Bulma has designed you a brand new Gi before she has taken off for Namek. I made multiple of them, so that way you won't have to be wearing the same pair."
"This is wonderful to hear, father in law. Now, if you don't mind, I will be on my way." John had the look of determination.
Dr. Brief nodded. "I wish you good luck my dear boy. Also, I already programmed the ship's computer to take you to Namek automatically. Just press the start button and off you go. Good luck and safe travel to and back from Namek. I will be monitoring your ship from here and I have direct video contact in case you are having issues with either the ship or space travel."
John watched his father in law exit himself off the ship. Nodding to himself he approached the pilot seat. Then he looked at the square keyboard and pressed the button start. From there the ship's door lifted itself up and the lock closed. Remembering the procedure of blast off, John quickly sat in the chair as soon as he started feeling the rumbling vibration within the ship. Dr. Brief stood at the perfect distance to watch his handiwork take its first flight into space. As soon as the ship pulled its legs and feet in to become a sphere, it quickly went up into the sky until there was no sight of it.
"What a beauty." Dr. Brief petted his favorite black cat that is on his shoulder before heading back to his workshop. "Now, time to work on reverse engineering the other pod. The next ship is going to have more seats this time."
John relaxed as soon as the ship stopped rumbling and vibrating as soon as it flew through the last layer, and now flying through space. John got up off the ship to have a look through one of the windows on the ship. He looked and saw darkness with a few floating rocks and comet dust, along with a beautiful colorful background.
"Space." John sighed. "I thought I would never find myself returning to space traveling. Forgot how beautiful it is."
'Ship will arrive at Planet Namek in six days.' spoke the voice of a female computer.
John heard the ship's computer and got informed of his arrival to Namek deadline. "Six Days. Six whole days of training. Looks like I need to start cracking then."
John made his way to the gravity machine and looked at it. "Let's start off with 5G."
Turning on the machine he then went to setting the device to five times normal gravity. When doing so the whole entire room color went from white to red. John instantly felt his body drop and had to endure in order to make his body tolerant and to be able to push his limits in order to be ready. Ready for whatever is waiting for him on Planet Namek.
"Gravity training is going to pay off after everything is all said and done." John started punching and kicking while in mid air.
Back on Planet Namek, after finding a temporary refuge shelter after their only ship is destroyed and finding out that they are not the only visitors to this planet, Goku, Gohan, and Krillin carefully followed far back to the group that processed the massive huge power that they all sensed. The three flew but did not give away their position in order for them not to be detected by the scouters. They followed happily to see that the group that they followed had finally stopped at a small village. Goku and the two landed on a cliff and hid behind a nice size long grassy rock while taking the moment to look at what was going on.
"John told me about Frieza here and there, but he never told me how he looks." Goku looked straight down and kept his eyes on one person. "Looks like today I will. The guy in the hover chair. That has to be Frieza. I'm sure of it."
Gohan looked at the person that his father was seeing. "He looks like a Frieza."
"Yeah, no kidding. He is the one carrying the most power amongst the whole group." said Krillin, taking a look at each individual down there.
Looking and taking his time at seeing them, Krillin noticed two people having two around orange orbs in each of their arms. Blinking his eyes before rubbing them in case that they were playing tricks on him, Krillin could not believe what his eyes were showing him.
"Wow, take a look at those orbs. The dragon balls on Namek are way bigger than the ones on Earth. They're the size of a fat pumpkin." Krillin pointed out.
Goku looked and he was too in awe. "You're right, Krillin. They are way bigger."
Down at the village with the native Namekians who were both terrified and stayed close to one another as soon as they sensed the arrival of the tyrant and his crew. Frieza had that careless and shameless smile on his face when looking at the man, who he believes is the elder of this village. The two people on each side of him were two thirds of his top men. One being a pretty boy with a long ponytail and the other being heavyset.
Frieza just could not ignore the utter excitement within him when he could not believe that he was actually going to be immortal. His fantasy dream has become a reality all thanks to taking an ear of what was said from the mouths of the deceased Nappa and Turles. If it was not for eavesdropping on their conversation with personal interest, Frieza will never know the existence of both the Dragon Balls and Planet Namek itself. What got Frieza's most interest is learning that the prince of the saiyans have escaped his genocide of the Saiyan race, along with another Saiyan as well. It gave Frieza goosebumps just when thinking about it. He has been expecting the two Saiyans arriving on this planet along with the earthlings, with their foolish attempt of them trying to gather all seven Dragon Balls before he can collect them and make his wish.
Oh, how right he was about them coming to this planet. As soon as Dodoria alerted him that the men back on their mothership had picked up individual power levels that just appeared and informed them what location the individuals were. In response, Frieza had sent out two soldiers to go investigate and eliminate the source. Zarbon, however, was starting to get suspicious as he noticed that those two lackies should have returned by now.
"Oh?." Frieza noticed Zarbon looking in the other direction. "Is something the matter, Zarbon?. You look anxious."
"Forgive me for my anxious facial expression, Lord Frieza." Zarbon looked at his lord and master. "It is just that those two underlings that we have sent out to do a task have not come back. I am starting to think that we have underestimated Kiren and his little gang. Because right now, my scouter is not picking up any power levels."
"You don't say?." Frieza kept his smile as this is amusing to hear. "Well, then it looks like our little saiyan prince and his little gang have learned to suppress their power levels from our scouters. That should not be of any concern to us, Zarbon. As a matter of fact, I am most certainly looking forward to seeing the prince again along with the other surviving saiyan. I want to see to it that I kill Kiren in my own hands."
"You don't want either me or Dodoria to get our hands dirty for you, Lord Frieza?. I would not mind killing that royal monkey. It has been way too long since I last killed a Saiyan." said Zarbon.
Frieza chuckled. "Oh, no, Zarbon, that pleasure is going to be all mine. I know for a fact that he is going to refuse to fall in line and rejoin my army, let alone the other saiyan is going to do the same. Kiren has tasted too much freedom and refuses to serve me. Besides, I wanted him dead by my hands the same way that I did with his mother and father."
"What are they saying?." asked Gohan.
"I wish I knew how to lip read. That would have come in handy." said Krillin.
Goku felt rage within him when remembering those stories being told to him as a kid by his big brother about Frieza and all the evil things he has done. "Whatever they are talking about is not a good one."
Dodoria chuckled. "Oh, Zarbon, you are delusional. There is no way that growed up royal saiyan monkey and his little gang are able to defeat those underlings with such ease. Yes, those underlings that we sent out were weak as shit, but I have my doubts that they were eliminated."
Zarbon rolled his eyes. "You are doubting too high when it comes to those filthy monkeys once again, Dodria."
"Lord Frieza, please allow me to use my scouter to prove Zarbon's suspicions are wrong." Dodria looked at his master.
Frieza looked at his henchman. "By all means,be my guest."
"Thank you, Lord Frieza." Dodria pressed the button of his scouter. "Unlike Zarbon's scouter, which is the oldest model that he has had for decades, my newly updated model scouter can give me nothing but pure accuracy. Observe."
Dodoria took a look around and looked at the direction where Goku, Gohan, and Krillin were hiding.
"Quick get down!." Goku told the two in a whisper before moving down to hide. "Keep your energy suppressed."
"Got it." said both Gohan and Krillin.
Dodoria waited for the screen of his scouter to give him the results that he was looking for and got them. His results were blank. "As I thought, they are not there. Those bums have probably killed them and decided to take a little nap. Lazy bastards."
"We shall see, Dodoria." Zarbon challenge.
"Now, I hope you boys are done with your silly arguing." Frieza took his sights on the feared Namekians with an evil smirk. "Because now it is back to the task at hand."
The elder Namekian was hesitant to make any move or sudden attempt to do anything. He showed his teeth in anger while having his arms to protect the two scared children that were behind him.
"Good evening, native." Frieza began. "I am on a personal vacation and have decided to visit your planet as one of my 'Must Visit Planet'. Upon visiting I have discovered fun facts about the ancient relics that you call Dragon Balls. So far, I have gathered four of them from your neighboring villages. Of course, your people were both being unfriendly and uncooperative to my request of them relinquishing those balls to me. As a result, I had to get very physical with them. On the bright side you have plenty of ground space on this planet to bury each and everyone of them that my men have slaughtered."
The elder Namekian growled in anger when hearing what Frieza had done to his own people. The thought of spilled Namekian blood and body count of his deceased people, especially the children just angered him.
"Y…You monster. You heartless monster!." The elder Namekian said.
"Oh, do stop. You are going to give me a swollen head." Frieza spoke as if he was being praised for what he did.
Goku, Gohan, and Krillin heard that conversation and were very angry about it.
"Damn him. That damn evil monster." said an angered Gohan.
"Alright, Namek, hand over the dragon ball to Lord Frieza or else." said one of the underlyings, who pushed the elder Namek up.
"I don't know what you are talking about." The elder Namekian spoke. Hoping his lie will be convincing.
"You really think we are simple minded?." Frieza looked amused before turning to Dodoria. "Dodoria, remember that last elder who tried to pull a fast one on us?."
Dodoria chuckled darkly. "Yes, I do, Lord Frieza." He looked at the elder and remaining Namekians. "I took great pleasure in beating his ass to a pulp until he finally gave up the dragon ball. Let alone tell us the history about how they are made and where the balls were given to."
"Let us give you an example. Zarbon?." Frieza ordered.
Zarbin grinned. From there he vanished to the elders' shock as they can not see where he went, while Goku and the others can. Zarbon went behind another elder and side kicked the poor elder by his neck. Sending him flying to the other side dead. Then he turned his attention to the other elder Namekian who was in utter shock to see his brethren killed, vanished out and reappeared in the air and blasted him dead. The dead burnt elder fell down.
This enrages Goku and Gohan to the point of no return as Krillin is trying his hardest to verbally calm them down. Unfortunately, it got worse for Krillin as they all sensed three Namekians coming from the other direction and landed down with readiness to fight. The three watched the three Namekian fighters give it their all including suppressing their fill power and using it to their advantage. Unfortunately, their secret advantage did not last long or stand enough chances against Dodoria. He killed them one by one with him punching through the side of one of their ribs, setting one on fire with his energy mouth blast, and ripping the last one from limb to limb.
"Hahaha!." Frieza laughed as if he saw good entertainment before looking back to the elder and the two little Namek children. "Now, then, about the dragon ball?. I will tell you what. I will let you live and leave you in peace, as soon as you hand me the dragon ball. It is a fair trade since you did destroy our scouters by doing the fight of those foolish boys. I'll give you my word."
The elder was hesitant but he has no choice but to submit, now that he and the children are the only ones left and there is not anyone left to defend them. "Fine. Wait here."
In just a minute he returned with the Dragon Ball that he has been guardianing to and gave it to the remaining henchmen.
Frieza grinned. "Good. Now, Dodoria, you can kill him and those brats."
"What?!." Goku got mad.
"What?!. You said you were going to let us live and leave us in peace after I hand over the dragon ball to you!." said the elder in anger.
Frieza chuckled and showed his right hand that had his fingers crossed. "Since I am going to be immortal soon, I figured why not play with my victims emotions. Dodoria. Kill them."
In just a blink of an eye, Dodorai appeared behind the elder Namekian and did what anyone did not expect. He twisted the elders neck and killed him. Next, he noticed that the two Namekian kids were running for their lives and the blast killed one of them.
"Noooo!." The kid Namekian stopped when he saw his friend was shot dead.
"Don't worry kid." Dodoria flew down behind the scared kid. "I will see to it that you will join your friend in OtherWorld. Ta ta."
Goku got up in anger. "You are not going to kill that kid and I am refusing it!."
With no heads up, Goku powered up to Kaioken and flew right down and made a curve turn and punched Dodoria square in the face, and sent his fat ass flying into a nearby Namekian house. This surprised everyone including Frieza as he started to take a good look at Goku. As he has seen that same face from Turles, but his skin complexion is different. Goku looked dared straight at Frieza in utter anger.
"That face. I saw that face a long time ago. The same face that stood up against me on that day." Frieza told himself in his head as memory started to resurface. His eyes widened when remembering that he could have sworn that the saiyan had spoken his final words upon death.
"My… son..lives…and so does our future and soon to be king. Long…Live…Kiren."
"Ah, yes, now I see what he meant about the first part of his final words." Frieza looked at Goku plainly. "You are Bardock's kid."
Meanwhile somewhere in outer space during a couple thousands of push-ups in gravity training, John puts in the crazy work in order to get stronger and be ready for what awaits him at Namek. Pushing himself in fighting back the muscle pain fatigue when starting to stand up on both hands to do handstand push ups.
"After this is break time. I am getting very hungry now." John told himself when feeling all his body weight and the machine's gravity fell all into his biceps. "Shit this is hurting."
John stopped and flopped his whole body down to give his biceps pressure free. Taking the moment to let his mind wonder. His mind started racing like a supercomputer as he thought back on his people that were all slaughtered that day on Planet Vegeta. Remembering the Saiyans that he has always hung out with, that is not his class or elite class. Remembering the only Saiyans he always hangs with regardless of what his royal status or his father is against.
"Bardock. Gine. Fasha. Tora. Borgos. Shugesh." John looked at the ceiling while remembering those Saiyan warriors.
They were good people regardless of their disapproval actions against innocent non-saiyans when they travel to planets to conqueror and never spare a handful of frightened civilians to live. Remembering one of those days when his father had assigned him to be with them on missions in order to attempt in him to break his ideas and philosophy on sparing innocent lives that did nothing to him or anyone. Let alone having that mindset that every Saiyan will call weak and not the Saiyan way, of wanting to have peace and friendship with non-Saiyans and work together as equals. Especially, when John remembered himself saying that all Saiyans are equal to each other including non-Saiyans and should always help and treat each other with compassion and understanding. Let alone sit down and break bread together as equals. Regardless of what class they were born in.
"If only you all had listened and practiced my beliefs on how things should have been, then our whole race would still be thriving." John looked to his side to see the machine still reads 5G. "Laying down on my ass won't get me strong. Back to breaking my limit."
John gathered his strength and lifted himself up to stand on his hands. Then he resumed his hand push-ups.
