Gokuu was in a regeneration tank, recovering from injuries inflicted while possessed by Captain Ginyuu, as of Ginyuu, he was still passed out near the ship. Vejiita was off 'napping' somewhere at Katera's request-slash-command. Katera and Gohan were out of their regeneration tanks and going about their business... Gohan was marvelling over the size of the Namekian Dragonballs, while Katera was... keeping watch... she guessed. Neither women had said a word to each other since Kyande had told Katera and Vejiita to stop acting all lovey-dovey. (in relative terms, of course)
As she should have. Really, it was disgusting the way they acted. Ick.
Switching tones of thought, Kyande mused that it was just culture shock, considering how used she was to her Katera and Vejiita. Going from straight hatred to this was unnerving at best.
Oh, wait. Katera had said one thing, if only to offer Kyande some of the armor they'd taken from the ship. Kyande had refused, opting to remain in Gokuu's hand-me-downs. The last thing she needed was to look more Saiyan than she was already acting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Freezer arrived at the home of the Eldest Namekuseijin just in time to greet Nail walking out.
" Salutations, " said Freezer in greeting.
" Leave. Now, " said Nail in return. Freezer's expression betrayed gleeful dismay. Nail lowered his chin and regarded Freezer with a cold glare, " You have no business here. "
" Oh? " a smile graced the purple lips, " I'm afraid I do. The Dragonballs. I would like to gain their password from you, please. "
" No. "
" My, my, we are rude today, aren't we my green friend? " Freezer turned his sly gaze towards the structure Nail had exited, " Perhaps I'll ask your friend. "
" Wait, " Nail said quietly, " my friend is very old, and your presence on this planet is already killing him. You can't kill him anyway, when he dies the Dragonballs and the dragon go with him. "
" That's all very nice, but it would be rude to leave without exchanging a few words. " Freezer very deliberately removed his ruby-glassed scouter and turned his gaze upon the violet-glassed window his readings told him led to the Namekuseijin within the house. Firing his ki with twin prescise beams through his eyes he shattered the glass and smirked slightly.
Rising into the air he looked through the window to see the Eldest Namekuseijin and greeted with a slight bow, " Hello there, sir. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. "
There was a moment of silence, and then the Eldest stated simply, " Leave this planet. "
Freezer's face pinched. " Well, I can see your friend gets his rudeness honestly. Fine then, all pleasantries aside, give me the password. Tell me how to get my wish. "
The Eldest Namekuseijin coughed, then managed to respond weakly with a firm nonetheless, " Never. "
Freezer did not look pleased, but kept his composure nonetheless. He tilted his head to the side and inquired, " Oh? "
The Eldest Namekuseijin indicated Nail, " You see him? That's my child Nail, he's unlike any Namekuseijin you have encountered before. "
Freezer listened to this with interest, and turned his eyes to Nail. " He looks just like all the other Namekian slugs I've killed. But, " Freezer turned to fully face Nail, " Is that a challenge, I'm hearing? "
Nail scowled. " You want a fight? No problem, but not here, Guru can't take it. "
" Here, there, or anywhere, Nail. Wherever you choose to die, " conceeded Freezer artfully.
Nail snorted and took off in a flare of ki energy, with Freezer following not far behind.
The Eldest Namekuseijin watched as the last of their ki signatures disappeared over the horizon. Unbidden a coughing fit wracked his large, but frail body. The eldest raised his tear streaked face to the Namekian heavans and prayed dearly for the Earthians to save his world as promised.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyande had been staring off into space, lost in her thoughts, for so long that when suddenly she noticed Katera standing next to her, she looked up into the warrior's face and fell over off her rock.
Not surprisingly, Katera's expression never changed.
" Who are you? " she asked monotonously.
" I landed on my tail... " Kyande whimpered.
This altered Katera's expression subtly and she repeated, louder, " Who are you? "
" Um... " Kyande crawled back on her rock and answered hesitantly, " Kyande? "
Katera's expression changed from one of impassiveness to one of seething anger. But she didn't do anything, to Kyande, that is. She turned on her heel and stalked back towards Gohan and the Dragonballs.
Somehow, though, Kyande felt insulted. Turning in her seat she shouted, " Yeah, well, who are you, Katera? Huh? There's the real question! "
" I don't want to play your mind games, Kyande, " Katera shouted back.
"Why? 'Cause you're afraid of the results? Is that it, Katera? " Kyande got to her feet and faced Katera's back full on, " You don't know who you are at all. " Her tone and facial expression became sly as it all fell into place... how to hit the other warrior where it hurt, that is, " But I do. "
Gohan looked up from the Dragonballs curiously, but also with a measure of fear. In the short time he'd known Kyande, he'd heard that tone of voice all too often.
Also, all the shouting had woken up Captain Ginyuu. He was in the process of getting to his hands and knees and mumbling incoherantly as he went.
Not that either of the women cared to notice.
Katera turned finally to face Kyande. Quietly, with a measured tone, she invited, " Do tell. "
" You're everything your race aspired for, " Kyande said, her tone still as sly as ever, " and more. The first female super elite in the, granted, awfully short, Saiyan history, with all the potential in the worlds to become the Densetsu no Super Saiyajin.
" However, you squander it, you waste it all, and that above average mind, on a disgusting display of servitude to a man who doesn't respect you for that at all! " Kyande smiled without warmth, " How long can you stand living in Vejiita's shadow, Katera? "
Katera had been growing predictably angrier at Kyande's assessment, until Kyande hit the part about Vejiita. Then Katera had smiled, and her smile held some small degree of warmth, though none of it was directed towards Kyande.
" You're very clever, I'll give you that, " she said, her tone completely unreadable, " In the short time you've been around us you've correctly guessed the relationship between Ojisama and I. You do, however, misinterpret.
" You see, " said Katera with a deeper smile Kyande Knew wasn't for her, " I don't serve Ojisama because I have to, I do because I want to. There is no servitude. I do what I want and he knows he can't change that. This is more of a... give and take relationship, than is apparant.
" Afterall, we do have to keep up appearances. " Almost to prove her point, Katera turned at this moment and extended her hand towards Captain Ginyuu.
" Ah, Katera! No! " Kyande shouted just as the other warrior blasted Captain Ginyuu out of existence.
Katera turned back, keep her hand up so that it was directed at Kyande. Quietly she warned, " Don't try to change what already works. "
" Doesn't it bother you that such 'appearances' have you viewed as Vejiita's 'slut?' " Kyande inquired softly.
Katera stopped short. " It's that word that I hate. "
" Do you love Vejiita? "
Katera looked confused, " What kind of a question is that? "
Kyande swallowed, " because there is a chance you might lose him against Freezer. "
" I know. "
There was silence a moment, as Kyande dealt with the fact that she'd had Katera read almost completely all wrong. Then Kyande poised another question, " Do you think Vejiita loves you? "
Katera gave her a look. " What I think is irrelevant in answer to that question, isn't it? What do you think, Kyande? "
Kyande beamed in an unsual moment of comeradere, " I know. I already got the answer out of him. "
Katera snorted. " Somehow I doubt that. "
" Okay, so I assumed, shut up. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Through the brilliant skies they flew, one leading the other, or so it seemed. Nail had the crawling feeling that it was Freezer doing the leading. Even with the vast majority of Nail's true power hidden within himself, away from any readings the scouter could feed it, Nail couldn't help but feel an unspeakable cloud of doom over his head. For it was all to apparant that Freezer was doing some hiding himself...
Finally Freezer grew impatient with Nail's stalling and accellerated to fly backwards before his potential Namekian opponent.
" Are we going to fly all day? Where is this fabled battleground of yours? Or does it even exist? Let's get this over with. "
" Just a little farther, " Nail grumbled.
Freezer scowled, " This is far enough. "
They continued flying for a moment, glaring at each other, testing wills. Finally Nail gave, or so it seemed, and pointed to a clear spot of ground on one of the larger islands. " There, " he said and began his descent.
Freezer landed seconds after him, a short distance away, the look of condescending amusement back upon his face.
" Before we begin, " said the tyrant, his voice matching his face to a 'T', " there's something you ought to know. Observe, " he held up his hand and wavered it next to his face, " my left hand. Within this small appendage alone is more power than you could ever fathom. So, in this one time only special offer, I will fight you with only my left hand. " Freezer smiled thinly, " Now that things are marginally more evened out, what have you got to offer, my green friend? "
Nail snarled, feeling his fighting spirit rile within him. Crossing his arms before him he escalated his ki in small, concentrated bursts of light, as opposed to a writhing, uncontrolled flame. Still the effort drew a yell from his throat, and his ki exploded to a level unfelt within any other Namekuseijin since Piccolo Daimaoh and Piccolo Daimaoh Jr.
Yet, Freezer continued to smile.
" Impressive, " he commented, " very impressive indeed. Why don't you try it out, though, and see how fruitless your cause will be! "
Nail was quite willing to comply. With an echoing battle cry that rippled across the Namekian heavans, Nail launched himself towards Freezer. Stiffening his hand into a knife strike, he aimed for Freezer's collarbone and readied his other hand for the kill shot to Freezer's bony skull.
Freezer didn't move, not through Nail's whole assault, until a half
millimetre before the strike, when his left hand snapped up in a
cobra's grip and stayed Nail's hand where it had been caught.
A lilting chuckle came from Freezer's throat, and Nail fairly screamed as his grip tightened. Freezer's chuckle became an outright merry giggle as his fingers punctured Nail's flesh. Thick blood seeped from underneath Freezer's fingertips, and Nail bit his lip to keep from screaming again. Then, with one smooth, effortless motion, accompained by the sound of ripping flesh and bone, Freezer tore Nail's arm off just below the elbow.
Nail screamed this time, long and loud, clutching at the stump of an arm in an unsuccessful attempt at stopping the rush of blood from escaping. Stray tears left his eyes where they were squeezed shut against the pain; the indescribable pain. His breath came hard and fast and his heart beat frantically to keep blood within his body. But it was all futile. All of it.
At least until he finished what he had to do.
Freezer tossed the arm away idly and turned back to his opponent. " You see? " he asked serenely, " you have no chance of beating me. "
That's what you think, thought Nail, wishing desperately that he'd had the energy to say it out loud. But the look on Freezer's face would be reward enough, as all his energy was focused elsewhere.
Freezer would wait a bit, wanting still to toy with Nail and his absurd notion of fighting with only his left hand.
Finally Nail hollered again, though not solely of pain this time, but of effort. With a wet sounding of explosion and a rush of yellow enzymes Nail regenerated his arm and faced Freezer, determined never to have to do that again.
Freezer looked impressed, which wasn't the expression Nail was aiming for.
" My, that was an aspect of you Namekuseijin I was yet unaware of. I'll have to make a copy of that. "
Freezer hit the all-purpose button on his scouter. " Oh, " he said as the scouter revealed something interesting, " tsk, but that decreased your powerlevel dramatically. If I were you I'd quit now. " Freezer laughed darkly, " But if I were you, I wouldn't have begun at all. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyande was all too aware when Katera snapped a glare upon her. She looked up with a dirty look and demanded, " What now? "
" That little Namekian kid you took from me, " Katera snapped, " Where is he? "
Gohan looked up curiously from where he was sitting on a Dragonball.
Kyande stood up suspiciously, " We left him with his family. "
" Don't lie to me, wretch, his family was dead, I saw it. "
Gohan piped up, " All the Namekuseijin are family, didn't you know that? "
Katera sniffed. " I don't need Namekian ancestry lessons from you. " She turned back to Kyande, " Where did you leave him with 'family?' "
" Why do you want to know? " Kyande inquired, still suspicious.
Katera crossed her arms and continued to glare. " That kid had healing powers, why do you think Ojisama and I had him with us? Get him, and he can not only heal Ojisama of his weariness, but he can also heal Kakarrot of... " Katera took a breath of exasperation, " everything. "
Gohan stood up. " Yeah! I completely forgot about that! "
" You knew?! " Kyande demanded of the little boy. When he nodded she shouted, " They why did you two think of that earlier?! Gohan, go get Dende! Hurry, before Freezer shows up and kicks all of us to Lord Enma!! "
Gohan looked taken aback, as of yet he'd avoided being a victem of Kyande's violent mood swings. Without further word he took to the air and soon was nothing more than a spec against the sky.
" I don't believe this, " Kyande grumbled and sat down, " Here we've been waiting for Gokuu to get out of the regen tank when Dende coulda just healed him?! I'll bet That never happened. "
[Yeesh, the one thing Kyande does get right and Katera screws it up...]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dende felt about to cry. He'd been flying for hours now; hours upon hours and still he hadn't found a trace of the Earthians. His ki sensitive sense wasn't developed enough yet, and his search seemed thus far to be completely and utterly a failure.
So, the tears appeared in his eyes, and he despaired. Maybe the Saiyajin had killed them. Maybe the Eldest Namekuseijin's power boost hadn't been enough.
All too soon, Freezer would finish with Nail, and come searching for the Dragonballs' password. Dende had no disillusions, despite his young age, Nail would lose against the tyrant Freezer. This piled on top of everything else only drove the youngster deeper into despair. He sniffed.
Then, suddenly, someone cried, " Dende! "
Dende looked up and his face broke into a wide smile. There was hope afterall!
" Gohan! " he called back. " Gohan! "
Gohan met up with his friend and laughed. The two children clasped hands in greeting and exchanged greetings.
" Gohan, Guru's sent me to help you! " Dende proclaimed.
" Great! " Gohan cheered, " I was just coming to get your help! Otousan's been beat pretty bad, and we need your healing abilities. That, and Kyande says we need to make the wishes in Namekian. "
" I can do that for you! "
" Let's go! "
Upon their return, Kyande had run to greet them, while Katera had hung back, with a worryingly sly smile on her face.
Kyande had turned her current displeasure on the somewhat direct cause of it and picked Dende up by the collar. " You had healing powers and you never told me? Brat! "
" Yes, " Dende nodded, by now used to Kyande's inexplicable dislike for him, " I can help you make your wishes to Porunga as well. "
Katera's eyes lit up at that. She turned back to Freezer's ship and called, " Ojisama! " while running for it.
Kyande snapped her attention to the Saiyan warrior and dropped Dende. Powering up instantly to Super Saiyajin form, she flew after Katera and kicked her in the back. Katera lurched forward, stumbling, while Kyande appeared before her and punched her in the gut. Katera choked, doubling over. This gave Kyande the chance to knock her across the temple, and with a 'thonk' Katera dropped to the ground, unconcious.
Gohan and Dende stared.
Powering down as suddenly as she had powered up, Kyande looked at them and said, " Before we do anything, let's make our wishes. "
" Ah... okay, " agreed Dende slowly.
" Why'd you do that to Katera? " Gohan wanted to know.
" Do you want an immortal Vejiita running rampant? " Kyande demanded. " No, I didn't think so. Come on, let's get this done. "
" What are we wishing for? " Gohan asked tentatively.
Kyande picked up three of the Dragonballs. " We're wishing Piccolo back to life, we're wishing him here, and as for the third wish, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it-- and we're doing it over there. " She nodded towards another island nearby. " So each of you grab two of those and hurry up before someone wakes up. "
" Oh, " said Gohan and Dende together before complying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nail dropped to the ground and for a moment it seemed he was going to stay there. From the start the battle had been in Freezer's favor, but Nail had realistically expected nothing different. By now Dende had to have found the Earthians, and they had to have made their wishes. Nail's job was nearly done.
Struggling with the effort, Nail brought his arms beneath him and made an attempt at getting to his feet.
Freezer caught him by the throat and jerked Nail's head back so that the Namekuseijin could look him in the eye.
" You just don't know when to quit, do you? " Freezer leered. " Or when to die. When will you give up this useless cause? You will never beat me! "
Nail laughed weakly. " I already have. "
" Hm? " Freezer asked, taken aback by the Namekuseijin's temerity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
" Piccolo, " Kaiousama stated, catching the attention of everyone on his little world, " it seems that Kyande girl has ordered them to wish you back first, and then to use their second wish to bring you to Namekusei. "
Kaiousama quivered and spun around, hollering at the grinning Piccolo, " But you mustn't go after Freezer! You promised me! "
" Fah, " Piccolo scoffed. " Once I'm alive again, and gone, I'll do whatever I please! That Kyande's not a dumb as she seems. When I'm back alive, Kami will be as well, and Chikyuu's Dragonballs will be useful once more. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------
" Remind me to punch Piccolo next time I see him, " grumbled Kyande, her's being the first outside comment in a long time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
" No! " Kaiousama shouted. " You can't! Do you want to die again, Piccolo? Because that's what's going to happen! You and Gokuu! You're both the same! You don't listen to a word I say! "
It was taking both Tenshinhan and Yamcha to keep the old Lord of Worlds back.
" Oh, do be quiet, old man, " Piccolo chided, turning his back on the rotund blue master, " I was never your student in the first place. As for Son, well, you can't keep him away from a good fight. If Freezer kills him, it'll only suit my ends. "
" What? " Yamcha demanded. " What about Gohan? "
Piccolo's grin became a bit more fond at the thought of Gohan. " Who do you think will inherit the world from me? I don't plan on laying any eggs. "
" Aho! " Kaiousama hollered at him violently, " You have no plans of the sort! Listen to me Piccolo, if you care for Gohan as you say, then don't make him suffer through a permanent death! "
[Aho=Fool, but in a derogatory sense]
The Daimaoh smirked, " If I do die again, think about it this way, Gohan'll get so angry, his sheer power alone will get rid of Freezer. "
" NO IT WON'T!! THAT'S THE PROBLEM!! " Kaiousama fairly screamed. " Nobody stands a chance against Freezer! Nobody, and nothing can destroy him! It's better to avoid him altogether if you value your life and Gohan's. "
" Your words mean nothing to me, " said Piccolo dismissively.
" You fools, " Kaiousama complained, " you're all suicidal. Fine then, go off and die! See if I care! "
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Freezer stared down at the battered, bruised, and bloody Namekuseijin
limp within the grasp of his left hand. After all the
beating the creature still had the absolute gall to proclaim that he'd
won the battle? Freezer hadn't a mark on him, and yet the bloody bastard
still defied him?
" How's that? " asked Freezer. It was an interesting question indeed.
" The Earthians, " Nail managed, his voice growing weaker as he neared death, " where do you think they are... " he paused to struggle back a breath for the rest of his statement, " ... and what... do you think... they are doing? "
Freezer dropped Nail in surprise. No. It couldn't be. It just couldn't be. He smirked. " That's a nice bluff. But it will not save your life. "
" Think what you want, " Nail taunted, using what could quite possibly be his last breaths to antagonize Freezer further, " but check your scouter, see where they are. "
A smile touched Freezer's lips, as he made the decision to humor the Namekuseijin's wishes. If the doomed creature wanted to prolong death and continue to suffer further, who was he to argue?
However, the readings told him otherwise, and Freezer's face gave way to wide-eyed surprise. " Wh-Where is my Ginyuu Force? Those numbers don't match them! Th-That's Vejiita... and Katera... and the Earthians! At MY Ship!! " He gasped, " The Dragonballs! " Here is where Freezer's hands fisted and he bared his teeth in anger. " Why those conniving, sneaky little opportunists! I'll show them! I'll show them all! " Freezer threw back his head and screamed, " They will all face the wrath of Freezer!! "
With a flare of angry ki energy, Freezer took to the air. Nail was forgotten in his anger, and the last Namekuseijin warrior slumped into the dirt. His job was finished, now he could rest in peace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyande fidgited nervously as she waited for Gohan and Dende to get the Dragonballs in place. When Katera woke up... Kyande shuddered. She really didn't want to think about that. Hopefully by that time Freezer would have arrived and all attention would be elsewhere--would be on surviving, that is.
The Dragonballs in place, Dende stood over them ceremoniously. Spreading his hands over them, he took a deep breath. " Just so you know, " he said over his shoulder, " I've never done this before. "
" That's okay, " Gohan assured, " neither have I! "
Dende smiled and turned back to his task. " Takarroto Poporunga Purittoparo! "
[trans. to the Namekian phrase for summoning the dragon]
Suddenly the green Namekian skies turned dark as night, though without stars to sprinkle the heavans. Clouds grew hazy and shapes indistinct, while the energy of the planet focused on the seven magic spheres before the young Namekian healer.
Suddenly it hit a cateclysm, a threshold, if you will. The power reached sufficient heights and in a boost of power reminiscent of that first hit on Super Saiyajin, light so pure a gold it hurt to look upon it burst forth from the Dragonballs and formed a lightning column that disappeared into the skies.
Dende gave a yelp of fright at the sight of it, and at the sheer, immense, raw power that assualted him. Still he held his ground, the dragon was coming, soon his world would be safe.
The light and the power began to coagulate, twisting and reforming itself
into a massive form; into the embodiment of the Eldest
Namekuseijin's love for his people and his planet.
The Namekian counterpart to Chikyuu's Shenlon, Porunga, was much bigger than Shenlon, this in itself was a feat. At the end of a tail emerging from the Dragonballs was a broad, muscular humanoid torso, but with the green scaly skin of the dragon. Set upon a thick neck was the head, with a snub nose and fiery red eyes that smouldered and made one feel unease. A great green fan ran from the back of it's skull down it's back to the Dragonballs, gracing the hard features and hugging the spirals Porunga's tail made.
Kyande had never seen anything like it. She'd seen Shenlon, but this, this was... far beyond Shenlon; beyond mere words. Indeed the author does not give Porunga's might justice, for what Kamisama created out of love for his planet, and an inherant instinct, the Eldest Namekuseijin did a hundred thousand times over.
In a voice that rumbled like thunder and shook the air around them, Porunga spoke; " You have summoned the Dragon of the seven Dragonballs. Now I shall grant you three wishes. "
Gohan laughed with exuberant joy, " He said three! He really said three! Now we can bring Piccolosan back! "
Kyande shifted her weight, turning her gaze from Porunga back to Freezer's ship in the distance. " Yeah, well, hurry up, okay, Gohan. We don't know how much time we have. "
Gohan turned serious and nodded. " Okay, Dende. For our first wish I'd like Piccolosan wished back to life. "
Dende turned and relayed the message to Porunga in Namekian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On Kaiousei, the halo above Piccolo's head faded away, and for the second time that day, the demon king smiled. " Good, Gohan. "
While waiting for the second wish, Kaiousama made one last plea, " Piccolo, please, I beg of you to reconsider. Once you get to Namekusei I want you to grab Gokuu, Gohan, and that Kyande girl, and take the spaceship to return to Chikyuu. "
" And have Freezer follow us there? " Piccolo demanded mildly. " No, I say we address this problem now. "
... and then he was gone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dende turned from making the second wish and inquired. " So, what's your third wish? "
Kyande stared blankly.
Gohan looked around. " Hey, waitaminnit, where's Piccolosan? "
Kyande crouched and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her with worry-filled eyes and she offered him a smile. " It's a big planet, Gohan, he's here... he's just not here here. Now, what do you want to use your third wish for? "
Gohan stared at her. " Don't you have anything you want to wish for? "
Kyande blinked. Gohan was right, she could use the third wish to go home... but what of Gohan, and the rest? What of Freezer? No, she had to see this through to the end. She smiled wistfully, " I've got plenty of things I want to wish for, Gohan, but now is not the time. Besides, these are your three wishes. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Vejiita hung in that transitional stage between sleep and being awake. He was on the tail edge of a dream-- a wonderful dream. A dream in which he had defeated Kakarrot, Vejiitasei still existed, and he was having all sorts of wonderful adventures. (Wonderful, of course, for Vejiita means something entirely different from the rest of us. Think blood, guts, gore, explosions, death, destruction, all that pleasant stuff)
Suddenly the transition ended and Vejiita's eyes opened. He lay there for a moment, wondering why it was so dark. Then he sat up, and his features clouded in anger. Katera that conniving little... she'd 'forgotten' to wake him up again! He'd slept all the way until nightfall!
Vejiita, of course, completely forgot that there was no Namekian night. But he'd realize that soon enough.
Getting up he ran outside and noticed two things. The first was Katera, his last remaining fellow Saiyajin-- Kakarrot didn't count--lying face down on the ground. The second, was the large, glowing dragon coming out of a neighbouring island.
Vejiita crouched next to Katera and tested to see if she was alive.
There was a pulse, and her ki was relatively strong. She was
unconcious.
Vejiita was beginning to peice things together. Kyande had knocked Katera
out, as a Super Saiyajin she was the only one with
enough power, and then she and Kakarrot's brat had taken the opportunity
to make their wishes behind his back!!
Vejiita stood outside the ship, staring at Porunga, his hands in tight fists and his teeth clenched. It was okay... the dragon was still there... he would not... lose... control...
" You're All Dead!! " Vejiita screamed to the high heavans of Namekusei and took off for the Dragonballs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Eldest Namekuseijin looked out through the damage Freezer had caused to his home to see the damage done to his world. Slowly the health of the old Namekuseijin declined as he took in the death of his people, and the fact that only two remained. Dende... it looked as though Dende would survive, being with the Earthians would keep him safe. There was some cause for joy. But Nail, Nail whom he had sent to distract Freezer, didn't have much time left.
The Eldest Namekuseijin wept for the loss of his people, and those few sobs were his last breaths.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarro paused a moment, then continued, " Vejiita arrived and attacked everyone, as diplomatic as can be expected from him. But just as he was demanding Dende make his wish for immortality, the dragon, Porunga, died along with it's creator, and the Dragonballs turned to stone.
" Disheartened by the news of Guru's passing away, they had only a few
seconds to wait until Freezer arrived. "
¤¤
[The time has finally arrived! The Eldest Namekuseijin is gone, taking the Dragonballs, Porunga, and what could possibly be their last chance away. But wait, things may seem to be going according to the original timeline again... more or less... but think. Will the added powers of Kyande and Katera be enough to bring Freezer down faster?! Will Gokuu reach the legendary power of the Super Saiyajin? I'm almost done here! Next, Part Fourteen; The Battle Against Freezer. Is Kyande Almost Finished?]
