Dragon Ball Z (A Rewrite)

Chapter 2-3 | Namek Saga | Namek Troubles!

Planet Namek - With Vegeta

Vegeta quickly comes to a sudden realization. "That's probably alerted them that I've arrived on this planet." Vegeta takes a look around the area, shaking his head. "I'm certain I can take on Zarbon and Dodoria at this point, but I'm not sure about Frieza." Vegeta quickly presses a button, his Pod flying to a different location as he tucks the remote in his armor.

Quickly taking to the air, Vegeta begins flying around while doing his best to lower his power. It was one of the things he had learned while being on this bucket of a planet. Around that time, he sensed some spikes in Power, though they quickly faded. It wasn't anyone from Frieza's side...they were too strong or too weak. He shrugged. He didn't really have a sense of how to use this ability at the moment, so it was probably him sensing himself augmenting his power.

"I think I've devised the perfect strategy to prevent Frieza's wish. I just need to get a singular Dragon Ball. Once I do that and hide it where no one else can find it, I can steal the other six after Frieza gathers them! Then...I can wish for immortality!" Vegeta laughs. "I'd be the victor! Then I can kill Frieza for good and have my revenge!"

Suddenly, Vegeta's scouter beeps rapidly as large Power Levels began drifting in a different direction. It appears Frieza and his crew have found the next Dragon Ball.

With Frieza & His Men

One of Frieza's soldiers stepped forward. "L-Lord Frieza! I've found another Namekian Village on my scouter!"

Frieza began to laugh quite a bit. "Marvelous! That's excellent news! Keep it up and you may even receive a promotion!"

The Frieza Soldier nodded. "Yes-Sir! And with any luck, they'll even have the next Dragon Ball!"

Frieza's expression quickly changed, firing a beam straight through the soldier's head, causing him to drop to the floor. "Don't speak out of turn. And I don't NEED luck. I am Lord Frieza! Emperor of the Universe! Stay on guard soldiers, and let's go get me my Dragon Ball!" Frieza shouted, his hovercraft flying away.

Everyone else quickly follows after Frieza, leaving the dead soldier to rot as they head towards the next location.

With Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan

Krillin turns, watching as Bulma was barely keeping up. "Hurry up Bulma!"

Bulma pants, staring at him angrily. "Oh, you shut it! I can't keep up with you guys and you know it! You're literally superhumans! Or Super-hybrids! Whatever! Anyways, why can't you guys just fly me..?!"

Gohan shook his head. "No can do Bulma. It'll take up extra energy and we'll be spotted on the people's Scouters."

Just then, Krillin finds a cave and points at it. "Lucky us! We can lay low in there for a bit!"

Bulma began twitching. "I'd rather not stay inside a cave. Isn't there a village or something?"

Before they can determine their next course of action, Krillin senses a horde of deadly power levels approaching right in their direction. "MOVE NOW! IN THE CAVE! THERE ISN'T ANY TIME TO ARGUE!" Krillin shouted at them.

Everyone quickly ran into the cave, Gohan taking Bulma's hand and bringing her in there. As they get in, Gohan and Krillin peek out the corner and see Frieza and his men flying straight past them, a nearby mountain crumbling from the sheer pressure they were emitting.
