After Vegeta landed on the planet, he looked around the area with a scooter he took. "That bastard... I won't let him cheat me out of those dragon balls!"

He placed the scouter on and turned it on. A few seconds passed as a loud beeping noise emitted from it. 'There he is! And he's brought Zarbon and Dodoria with him, too!'

As he made his way closer to their location, he spotted a familiar power level, causing him to land on a small hill. "Don't make me laugh, Cui. Do you really think you stand a chance against me?"

His taunting words caused the soldier to smirk. "Are you blind? Look at your scouter, my power lever is clearly higher than yours!" Vegeta smirked to himself as he waited for him to get closer.

Cui stood there with confidence. "It seems the time has come for us fellow rivals to settle the score!" His taunt didn't affect Vegeta that much, only seeing him cock an eyebrow up. "Fellow rivals, you say? Allow me to show you a little something... A little trick that I picked up from earth"

The soldier looked at him with confusion as he watched Vegeta get into a defensive stance. "The ability to control my power at will!" He released his ki that he had masked up, causing Cui's eyes to widen.

"This can't be! You and I have always been evenly matched!" he exclaimed as he watched Vegeta's power level go through the roof.

"Did you honestly believe I'd remain on par with someone content with hiding behind Frieza?!" Qui watched as Vegeta's power level continued to rise, causing the scouter to explode.

He watched in fear as Vegeta continued to release his power. "W-wait a minute, Vegeta! I just had a great idea! Let's work together!" Vegeta smirked at his cowardness.

"You truly are pathetic..." Cui narrowed his eyes as an idea formed up. "Look, Frieza's here!" he watched Vegeta turn around in fright as he smirked, thinking that his plan worked.

Without hesitation, he fired multiple ki blasts at Vegeta, hoping that he was able to injure him so he could cheat in the fight. As the smoke cleared up, he saw that Vegeta was gone.

"Heh, there's no way you're getting up from that!"

"You wish" Cui jumped with fear as he turned to see Vegeta behind him. "If my power level has risen, then obviously my speed has improved as well!" He chuckled as he watched Cui try to step away.

Without saying a word, he took off flying, urgently trying to escape the saiyan. Vegeta took off after him, cutting him off as he appeared in front of him. He landed a punch to his stomach before landing an uppercut as well.

As Cui was in the air, Vegeta pointed two fingers at him, making his body explode. He watched in satisfaction as body parts and blood flew in random directions. "What a terrible firework..."

He powered down as he landed on the ground. "Thanks to his scouter, Frieza must already be aware of what happened..." His mind began to race with thoughts as he tried to come up with a plan.

He needed to find a way to look for the dragonballs before Frieza and the others find them. He needs to look for an opening so he could get them right under their noses.

'The entire universe will bow before me, a saiyan!'

With Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma, they were still looking for a place to hide from the chaos that was about to rise later on. "Can't you guys fly and take me with you?!" yelled Bulma.

"I wish we could, but we have to walk. We need to stay hidden," explained Gohan. "Also, if we fly, we'll use too much energy and they'll know where we are," added Krillin.

Continuing the walk, Krillin pointed to a cave that was nearby. Setting their stuff down, Gohan asks if there was any energy nearby. Krillin was about to answer until he froze.

"Take cover! There's someone else coming from that direction!" The three rushed inside as Krillin kept watch, telling Bulma that she had to be quiet.

"Do you think we could've been discovered?" Whispered Krillin as he felt multiple energies flying past them. Bulma kept quiet as she watched the two sweating like crazy, especially Gohan.

"Bulma, could you check the radar...?" he panted as he tried to control his breathing. "When was the last time you checked?" Bulma hummed before checking the radar, saying that the group had four of them.

"I knew it... Gohan, did you see him? The weird one, flying seconded from the front..." Krillin saw him nod. "I sensed a huge power coming from him..."

What they felt was entirely different from Vegeta's power level. The ones that followed the small alien were pretty powerful too. Bulma didn't think that there was anyone stronger than Vegeta.

"I think Vegeta is part of the squad... They wore the same outfit as well," said Krillin. Bulma continued to look on the radar until something popped up. "The group is going to another dragon ball"

The one they're after is about fourteen kilometers to the right of them. Gohan and Krillin nodded as they started to put their gi's on. "Hold on, you're not just gonna leave me here?!"

Krillin explained that she'll be safe if she stays in the cave. She huffed with annoyance before an idea popped in her head. "I'll just set up capsule house in the cave in the meantime"

The two nodded before they made their way towards the location, making sure to keep their ki low as they quickly moved.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Goku can be seen doing sit-ups while you watch him. "You know the doctor's gonna be annoyed if they see you out of bed again, Goku" you announced. He gave you a toothy smile before speaking.

"I know, but I need to get stronger while my son and the other are away. We don't know what's going to happen" you hummed at his explanation before you saw the doctor and nurse walk in.

"Still pushing yourself, Goku?" mumbled the doctor as Goku gave him a nervous smile. "How many times have I told you; if you keep this up, you won't be able to come home"

Getting up from the chair, you gently picked him up and placed him on the bed. He let out a chuckle as he leaned into your hand that patted his head.

"How are you feeling, Nemui?"

"I'm feeling alright, just making sure that Goku doesn't hurt himself" you answered, getting a chuckle from the three. Goku lightly blushed at your words as he heard the door open.

"How're you two doing? Oh hello there, doctor" Roshi conversed with the doctor as he placed some food for you and Goku.

"Nemui, Goku, I just got a call from Bulma and they made it to planet Namek. But I'm afraid that they're not the only ones who found themselves there. Vegeta had made his way there, too"

He watched your eyes widen in shock before both expressions turned serious. Roshi then explained Vegeta isn't the only one that came to the planet as well. Saying that there were others on the planet looking for the dragonballs.

You and Goku hummed at the explanation before they saw Yajirobe walk in with a small bag. "Yo! You're still alive? The senzu beans are ready, but there's only a few in there"

The doctor tried to stop him from giving the bean to Goku, but you stopped and explained that it was going to be alright.

The doctor and nurse's eyes widened as Goku flipped out of bed and flexed out of the multiple layers of bandages. "I've been waiting for months!"

A chuckle emitted from you as you watched Goku hurriedly put on his new training uniform. "Alright, we're off to planet Namek" he took the bag of senzu beans as he turned to the others.

Goku then explained that he asked Bulma's father to build a spaceship for you and him, just in case that they have to go there later on.

You both made your way to the window, waving to Roshi and the doctors before jumping on Nimbus. "I can't believe it! There's someone more incredible than Vegeta!" said Goku.

"Then that means that we're going to train for a while" you added, causing a smirk to form on his face. After some time passed, you both hopped off the golden cloud and landed at the entrance.

You both looked around the area, seeing if you could find his house. "Oh hello, you two!"

"Hi Bulma's mom" replied Goku as you gave her a small wave. "Are you two feeling alright?" you both gave her a nod as Goku asked if her husband was finished with the spaceship.

"Last time I checked, he was still tinkering with something" you both hummed at her words before she signaled you both to follow her inside. "Honey, Goku and Nemui are here!"

In front of you was a giant, spherical spaceship with 'Capsule Corp' on it. "I see that the senzu beans did the trick" He signaled you both to come inside the spaceship.

Walking inside, the structure looked very futuristic from the design. "We'll both be getting some decent training done in a place like this" you said, causing Goku to smile brightly.

"Yup, saiyan technology is very tricky" he then showed you the switch for the gravity machine, showing the levels and how it worked. He then warned about Goku getting reckless with the levels.

While he explained, you could see Goku trying to talk to him, urgently wanting to tell him that they both needed to go right away. "Mr. Briefs, this is all very nice, but we're in a hurry..."

He chuckled before explaining which buttons were to launch the spaceship before exiting out. As soon as Goku pressed a button, you both nearly slammed to the ground as it took off.

"Wow... This thing is very fast! We're already in space, or is nighttime out here?" You chuckled at him before standing up. "You wanna get started with training?"

Your question caused him to smile brightly. "Definitely, especially since I never got to fight or train with you. We'll be here for six days, so we can get way stronger when we arrived"

Making your way to the controls, you pressed the button for 20x gravity. You both definitely felt the weight on your shoulders, but it'll be fine. You felt the familiar energy appear, seeing that it was Turles.

'So how long are we going to be in this ship?' The space pirate questioned, earning a slight shrug from you.

'At least six days, I think. We're gonna be training throughout those days as well' you replied, earning a hum from Turles. 'Is there a way that you and I could train together?'

You pondered for a bit before getting an idea. Training with somebody that Goku couldn't see was going to be a bit off. 'We could do image training. I'll teach you how to do it'

The explanation caused a sly smile to form on Turles's lips before emitting a chuckle. Giving you a nod, he formed into his orb form before going back into your chest. Turning around, you see that Goku was ready to train.

You both started with different sets of basic exercises, making sure to get used to the gravity change.

'I can't believe that I get to train with Nemui for six whole days!'

Back on planet Namek, Gohan and Krillin quickly made their way to the location they needed to be. "We're cutting close; cut off your ki, we'll just have to walk our way in"

The two quickly crouched on a small cliff, making sure to move quietly. "W-what are they doing? There's so much powerful ki here" Krillin whispered.

He continued to look around as he saw two soldiers standing behind the smaller alien with the terrifying ki. They held the dragonballs under each arm, but what he didn't know was that the dragon balls were huge compared to the ones they saw last time.

They quickly ducked when one of the soldiers turned to see where the noise was coming from. "Is there something wrong, Dodoria?" asked the smaller alien.

"No, there was just some small power I read on the cliff. But it's gone now" they answered. Gohan's eyes widened when the smaller alien demanded the people in the house to come out.

'They must be the namekians!'

They watched as the soldiers ordered the namekians to exit the homes. The smaller ones showed fear in their eyes, wondering what was going on.

"Krillin, are all these guy's saiyans?" he whispered. "No, but they wear the same kind of armor like Vegeta. He should be the only one left, other than you, Goku and Nemui" he replied.

He then whispered that Vegeta wasn't present with the soldiers, wondering if he was looking for the rest of the dragon balls. He stopped his whispers when the smaller alien began to speak.

"My name is Frieza, and as you can see, I'm looking for your so-called dragon balls. There are supposed to be ten of you here, right?" The elder namekians didn't say a word.

Not that they wanted to, they were scared that they were going to kill them and the children.

"You intend to keep your silence, do you? Then I will kill you" his cold, blunt words caused the namekians to shake with fear.

One of the namekians started to speak, but it was in a different language.

"Please speak to us in a language we can understand, we know that you're capable of doing so..." Frieza's words cut to the chase, making the elder namekian nod.

"The others are out working in the fields. Those who remain here are the elderly and the children..." Frieza hummed, thanking them for the honest answer.

"Now, where is the dragon ball? I believe that there is another one here" he demanded, watching the elderly try to come up with an excuse. He smirked before he turned to one of his lackey's.

"Dodoria, I recall that the second namekian we killed said something very similar, yes?" a smirk appeared on his face as his lackey explained what they did to find the other dragon ball.

The elderly's eyes widened in horror as they continued to listen to the gruesome details. "He told us that the dragon balls were created by the Grand Elder of this world"

He continued to explain how the namekian was unwilling to tell him the instructions, but to no one's surprise, he killed him. He chuckled coldly when the elderly looked at him with anger and disbelief.

"Zarbon, please show them, please..." he said to the green haired soldier. "Yes sir" he vanished before appearing in front of the elderly and landed a devastating kick to the neck, killing one of them.

One of the other namekian tried to fire a blast, but Zarbon jumped with quickness and fired his own blast, killing the other.

The only thing Gohan and Krillin could hear were the fearful cries from the children.

"How about it? Are you feeling more accommodating now?" he mocks. "I'd simply like to have eternal life when I make this wish," he added.

His smirk widened when the namekian shook his head. "Ho ho... So you chose death... over simply handing it over to me?" Before he could say anything else, he was alerted when a group of namekians flew their way towards them.

Gohan and Krillin watched as the namekians defeated some of Frieza's soldiers with ease. One of them tried to attack Dodoria, but smirked at them. The namekian then destroyed the scouters.

They watched as the fight was taken to the air. What Krillin didn't know was that Gohan was shaking with anger, trying to control his ki so they wouldn't get caught.

One by one, the namekians went down like flies from Dodoria, causing Gohan to furrow his eyebrows even more.

"They're terrible... Absolutely terrible..." he muttered as he watched one of the namekians give the hidden dragon ball to them. But it was too late when Dodoria attacked him, and the children were killed.

'Those monsters...!' Krillin tried to calm him down, feeling the boy's anger slowly rising. Before Dodoria could go after the other child, he finally let it out.

"STOP!!"
