"What are you laughing about?" questioned Goku. Ginyu only continued to chuckle to himself, feeling excitement and adrenaline rise. "You both are so strong... I'm happy to have found someone so much stronger than me"

You and Goku stared at each other with uncertain looks, unsure on what was going to happen. Ginyu's chuckles then turned into laughter as he raised his hand towards his face and took his scouter off.

He stared at you both with a sinister expression before he punctured his hand into his right shoulder. "What is this guy doing?" you muttered as you watched him make a pose.

Suddenly, a bright purple beam formed around him as he fired it towards the distracted Goku. With quickness, you pushed Goku out of the way, taking the hit. Your body frozed from Ginyu's attack, but you didn't feel anything.

'Yes! Now I can use my body-change move on him!' He thought to himself, feeling the confidence rise. But something was off.

Where was your soul?

He needed it to change body's so he could have the advantage. Is that why he couldn't read your power level?

But then he felt a soul within you, but it didn't feel like it was yours. This soul was fighting back. He's never had a problem like this.

Looking ahead, Ginyu's sinister smile was replaced with fear. After the attack was finished, you were able to move freely, a confused expression laced your face. "What just happened...?"

Turning your gaze back to Ginyu, you watched his body fall midair, creating a small indent into the ground. Goku flew towards you and began to gently pat around your body.

"Are you alright? What kind of attack did he do?" he questioned, wanting to make sure that you were okay. You reassured him that you were fine as you both descended to the ground, landing a few feet away from Ginyu.

Hesitating, you both quietly stepped towards Ginyu's unmoving body. Crouching down, his facial expression showed fear, adding to his pale face as well. His eyes held no life to it, as if his soul just escaped his body.

You then felt someone's hand on your shoulder, turning around to see that it was Turles. 'That bastard tried to take my soul. I'm glad that I'm stronger than him'

You slightly jumped when you felt his hands lightly wander on your body, feeling your face slightly warm up.

'Well, his soul is not here, he would've appeared right next to me' Turles answered as he took his hands off you before going back inside your chest.

'What is wrong with my body...?'

"He's dead" Goku announced before he let out a hum. "Welp, that was a waste of a fight" he muttered as you both turned towards the direction Krillin and Gohan went.

"We should start heading towards their location. Vegeta might already be there" you insisted, earning a nod from the other saiyan before taking flight, quickly finding their ki energies.

In the distance, you could see the bald warrior and Goku's son. And next to them was Vegeta.

"He's already here..." Goku muttered as you both landed near the group. "Dad! Nemui!" shouted Gohan, alerting Krillin and Vegeta. Next to them were the dragon balls, all seven of them.

"We tried to use the dragon balls to see if they worked, but nothing happened" explained Krillin as the three led you inside Frieza's spaceship. Footsteps lightly echoed on the metal floor as Vegeta opened a door to reveal armor he had on earlier.

Pulling out two sets of small armor, he instructed Gohan and Krillin to change out their old ones. "They're very flexible, and if you pull on them, they stretch easily," he continued to explain as he turned his gaze towards you and Goku.

Both of your clothes were alright, seeing that there was little damage on them. He didn't have any more armor for the both of you, seeing that Frieza's already got a hold of them. "I'm going to make sure that the both of you will be training with me" he spoke firmly to the both of you.

"Of course!" replied Goku as he placed an arm around your shoulder. "We have to be prepared for when we have to fight Frieza. He's gonna be a big problem to all of us" you added.

Krillin then turned his gaze towards the three of you. "I'm going to go back to the grand elder" he announced. "I know it's risky, and that Frieza might be there too, but we need him to tell us the words we'll need in order to summon Shenron"

Gohan's expression was now filled with worry, not wanting his friend to go by himself. "Let me go with you!" he insisted, but Krillin shook his head. "It's too dangerous, Gohan. I'll be fine" he reassured before taking flight.

Back with Frieza and Nail.

Nail was trying his hardest to not pass out. Bruises littered his body as droplets of blood escaped his mouth. He knew that he was the weaker one in the fight, but he made a promise to the elder to buy some time.

He threw a blast towards the smaller alien, putting more power behind it as it impacted Frieza. Once all the dust cleared out, Frieza still stood there with little to no scratches, a cold yet playful smirk landed on his lips once more.

"You keep expanding this wasted effort. I'm afraid something like that will never work on me" he mocked, but at the same time, he tried to reason with the namekian to stop fighting, knowing that he was just going to get himself killed.

Without a warning, Frieza vanished and appeared right in front of Nail before delivering a blow right to the face, making Nail fall to the ground while clutching his nose. "Let me make this my final warning" he tried to reason one final time to the namekian.

"You can either tell me how to make the dragon balls grant my wish or die" he explained coldly. A questionable look plastered his face when he heard Nail started to laugh, his voice was hoarse from the fight.

"Even if I were to tell you, it would do you no good..." he replied with a light smile. "What...?" uttered the smaller alien, needing to know what he was saying.

"Soon, Dende will reach the earthlings... H-he should be there any moment" he continued as his smile began to slowly grow. "And he'll tell them the very words that you so desperately want to know..."

His words shocked Frieza, lightly chuckling at the shocked expression. 'What?!' He then remembered the small namekian that passed him earlier. "You little worm! You were merely buying some time?!"

He then took flight, leaving Nail in the dirt. "Why am I not picking up any readings from the Ginyu force?! This is impossible!" he shouted as tried to find more of his allies' ki readings.

'Whatever the case, something has happened between Vegeta, the earthlings, and the Ginyu force! But what about the dragon balls!?' A feeling of anxiety, something that he had never felt in his life, started to rise.

"DAMN THEM!!!"

Krillin can be seen flying towards the location of the elder, needing to hurry and see if he was able to make it on time. He nearly stopped his movement when he felt another ki energy nearby.

Turning to the left, he sees some familiar pass by him, which makes the other stop as well. "Dende!" he called out, seeing a wide smile brightened on the namekian's lips.

"I'm glad that I ran into you! We managed to get all the dragon balls, but we can't make them do anything" exclaimed the bald warrior. "I thought so. The grand elder told me how to have your wish granted!" Dende replied.

He then explained that they had to speak in the namekian language, or it wouldn't work. "We have to hurry! The elder's time is drawing near, not to mention that Frieza can be here any minute!"

The two then rushed back towards Frieza ship, knowing that the others would still be there. Once they were close, they could see Gohan flying towards them. "Gohan! Dende was asked by the grand elder to come see us!"

"To tell us how to use the dragon balls?" he asked, earning a nod from the namekian child. "By the way, where's Vegeta and the other two?" Krillin asked as he turned his gaze towards Gohan.

"Vegeta and Nemui are napping while Goku is doing some training," the hybrid explained, wanting to keep the conversation quiet so Vegeta wouldn't hear them.

"Alright, let's quietly take the dragon balls away from here so that Vegeta won't realize what we're doing" Krillin whispered as he quietly instructed them to hide their ki. Quietly descending to the ground, Gohan and Dende grabbed two each, while Krillin grabbed three.

Goku really didn't pay attention towards them as he did some training. He turned his gaze towards you and Vegeta, lightly chuckling when he saw you both napping. 'They look so peaceful like this...'

Back with Krillin, Gohan, and Dende, they were able to find a spot that was away from the base. Before they could come up with another plane, Krillin froze in place as he felt a powerful ki energy coming towards their direction.

"It's Frieza!" he quickly announced before turning towards Dende. "Quick! Hurry and grant our wish!" he demanded urgently as Dende started to speak in the namekian language.

"Takkapapto Popporunga Ppupiritto Paro!" After speaking the right words, the dragon balls started to glow a bright yellow-orange glow. They looked up in the sky to see that the sky was now dark.

They shielded their eyes from the bright light as a bright beam flowed out of the dragon balls. Looking towards the bright light in the sky, their eyes widened to see that they summoned a different dragon.

This one was more muscular and larger than Shenron with bulkier arms and spikes coming out of its shoulders.

"Is that Shenron?! He looks different from before..." uttered Krillin. "To our people, he's known as Porunga. Its name means 'God of Dreams'. This is the first time I've seen him as well" Dende replied.

Porunga looked downwards to the people that summoned him, speaking in his loud yet low, booming voice. "Thou who hast gathered the dragon balls, speak thy wishes... I shall grant thee any three that are within my capacity"

'Three?! Did he just say three?!'

Krillin then turned his gaze towards Gohan with a bright smile. "Sweet! That has never happened with Shenron!" Dende then told them urgently to grant their wishes, hoping that Frieza or Vegeta won't see it.

"Okay! First, ask him to please bring everyone the saiyans killed on earth back to life!" giving the first wish, Porunga took in the words, but shook his head. "That wish cannot be granted... I am only able to bring back one person at a time"

Shocked expressions plastered Gohan and Krillins face, seeing that their plan was going to crumble. 'Oh no... What are we gonna do?! Who do we revive?!' Thought Krillin as he turned towards Dende.

"We need to hurry before anyone sees us!" the child namekian yelled. As they quickly tried to come up with a plan, they heard a familiar voice they haven't heard in a while.

'Answer me, Gohan! It's Piccolo!' he spoke telepathically as the hybrid began to listen carefully.

'I'm speaking directly into your minds through King Kai! With your first wish, bring me back to life! Once I'm brought back, Kami will return as well, meaning that the earth's dragon balls will reappear, and the others here can then be brought back to life, too!'

Gohan gave him a reassuring hum before telling Krillin, instructing to bring Piccolo back. "Dende, ask him to bring back the namekian named Piccolo, the one who was living on earth!"

The namekian gave him a firm nod before speaking in the namekian language. "Very well... I shall grant thy first wish..."

Back at the base, Vegeta suddenly woke up when he felt tremendous power flowing in the air. 'It must be Frieza!' He looked up to see that the sky had darkened, but he knew that this planet didn't have a night cycle.

He then turned towards the bright light that was very far from them. Before he took off, he turned to see that you and Goku were still asleep, questioning how the both of you didn't wake up.

"The dragon balls are gone! And so is Kakarot's son!" In a hurry, he took flight to where the bright light was. 'Damn it! Those bastards got the jump on me!'

Back with Gohan, he heard Piccolo speak to him again. 'Back to living once again, now for the next wish!' Gohan then told Krillin to tell Porunga to bring the namekian named Piccolo here to planet Namek.

"That is a simple request. I shall grant your second wish" Gohan and Krillin then found a ki energy around, guessing that Piccolo was back. But when they turned, they expected Piccolo, not Vegeta.

"So that's how it is...! You think you punks can pull a fast one on me?! I'll make you all pay!" he shouted with anger. "Wait! We only made two wishes! There's still one more that can be granted!" exclaimed Gohan.

"I await thy final wish... Speak it now" Porunga demanded, telling them that they didn't have much time left. "What are you waiting for?! Tell him now! Make me immortal at once!" the saiyan demanded towards Dende.

Dende stood there in shock as he turned his gaze towards Krillin, wanting to see if there was any other option. The bald warrior gritted his teeth with frustration as he gave him a hard nod, telling him to make the immortal wish for Vegeta.

"A-alright then..." he finally answered as he turned towards the dragon. He couldn't even utter a word as Porunga disappeared. Nothing was heard, only silence.

Shocked expressions that were filled with disbelief were worn on everyone's faces. It was silent for a moment as seven spherical rocks dropped to the ground.

"W-what the hell happened?! Why did the dragons disappear?! Why did they turn into stone?!"

Vegeta continued to ask so many questions as he turned towards the namekian child, who wore a sadden expression now. "The grand elder passed away... He reached the end of his life..." he lowly explained.

The saiyan felt his anger boil to the max as he started to yell at everyone that was at his range. Before he could start blaming them, his eyes widened in fear. Beads of sweat started to stream down his forehead, making the others turn around.

They now understood what Vegeta was staring at.

"FRIEZA!!"
