How it all began- Part 3
Frieza led Vegeta into his quarters. "Now Vegeta, I understand that today is your 20th birthday. It’s now that I can make you a very special offer." Said Frieza.
"What kind of offer?" Asked Vegeta.
"Didn’t your mother ever tell you what I’m like?".
"My mother was killed when I was 3 weeks old Frieza, you should know that better than anybody.".
Frieza glared at him. Vegeta did know what Frieza was talking about, his father had told him 2 days before he turned him over to Frieza. "I’m sure I don’t know what you mean Vegeta." Frieza said all innocently.
"Yes you do, my father told me it was you that ordered my mother’s murder. He also told me you swing both ways. Sorry Frieza, I’m not interested!" Shouted Vegeta.
Then, faster than Vegeta could see, Frieza delivered a straight kick to the abdomen. "You will show me the proper respect I deserve boy! But it’s not surprising though, I had beaten Taina more times than I bedded her. Looks like I have to go to plan B.".
Vegeta looked up at Frieza, a look filled with rage and hate. It was a look Frieza was expecting; Taina gave him the exact same look. Frieza turned away and went to the telecom. "Captain Ginyu; bring me Zarbon and Tanya." Frieza ordered.
"Sir, Zarbon and his family have disappeared. But I have word from Cooie where they are going." Said Ginyu.
"Good captain Ginyu. When you find them, make sure they stay there. I want to see the look on Tanya’s face when Vegeta is thrown in front of her, beaten and bloody!".
"Yes sir.".
The link closed and Frieza turned back to Vegeta. "Tanya and I will never be loyal to you Frieza, no matter what you do to us!" Vegeta said, spitting at Frieza when he was done.
"But Zarbon will always be loyal to me, when his family are at stake." Said Frieza.
"As for you Vegeta, either you will show me respect by yourself or I will beat it out of you!".
And with that, Frieza began beating Vegeta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tanya led her family to the docking bays. "Mother, when you get back to earth, make sure to destroy the ship. They won’t follow something that isn’t of use to them." Said Tanya.
"She’s right Dianna." Said Zarbon, who stopped himself and Dianna running.
"Father, we have to hurry.".
"Always remember Dianna, I love you.".
Zarbon finished that sentiment with a kiss. "I love you too Zarbon." Said Dianna.
"And I love the both of you and I really hate to break this up, but if we don’t get moving, they’ll be nothing left for either of you to love." Said Tanya, her voice filled with worry and panic.
Tanya did love her parents and she didn’t want her parents to be broken apart, but the ship would leave without Dianna if they didn’t get moving. They arrived at the docking bay and Cooie was there waiting. "Get on bored Dianna." He said.
Dianna got on the runway, still holding Zarbon’s hand. She looked back at him once and let go of his as she ran up the runway. The door closed. As the ship was starting to take off, the Ginyu force grabbed Zarbon and Tanya. "What’s going on?" Tanya yelled.
Frieza emerged, with Dodoria carrying Vegeta. "Tanya, Tanya, you were a fool to think your mother could ever escape me." Said Frieza.
"Kiss my ass Frieza, Mom’s getting out of here and you can’t stop her!" Shouted Tanya.
"I BEG TO DIFFER!".
Frieza gathered a ki-blast in his palm. "You need to be taught a lesson, girl!" Shouted Frieza.
He fired the blast at the ship. "NO!" Screamed Zarbon.
The blast made contact with the ship, and the ship disappeared. "MOM!" Screamed Tanya.
For the second time in her life, tears fell from Tanya’s eyes. Zarbon head was slumped and his shoulders shook. He was trying so hard not to cry. Dodoria through Vegeta in front of Tanya. She ran to his side. After Frieza said something to Zarbon, Jeice chopped the side of Tanya’s neck and her world went black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tanya and Vegeta had woken up 2 hours ago. Now, they sat in their room, still in shock of what Frieza had done. Zarbon had told Tanya everything when she’d woken up, even the ultimatum Frieza had given him.
******************
"Tanya, Vegeta, it was Cooie that tipped off the Ginyu." Said Zarbon.
"That little slime ball, I’ll kill him the first chance I get!" Screamed Tanya.
"What about the ship, were there any survivors?" Asked Vegeta.
"No, Dianna is gone." Zarbon said simply.
Tanya was ready for crying again. "Tanya, Frieza has killed the woman I love. I just want you to know, I did this for you." Zarbon said.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Tanya asked, wiping away a tear.
"Frieza said, that he’d tried to do this to Vegeta and Vegeta refused. He said that if I didn’t become his whore, he’d force you to be his bed warmer.".
"WHAT! That dirty asshole, how dare he!" Screamed Vegeta.
"Father, you can’t. He just killed mom, how can you even think of…" Screamed Tanya.
"Tanya, I’m doing this because I don’t want something this horrible to haunt you for the rest of your life." Said Zarbon.
Tanya began crying. "I’ll make him pay for this father, I promise you!".
*******************
"What do we do know Vegeta? I can’t go on like this." Said Tanya.
"Tan, we’ll make it through this. All we have to do is keep or heads down and go on as normal. Someday soon, we’ll get Frieza for all the pain he’s caused us." Said Vegeta.
Tanya looked at Vegeta and hugged him. Vegeta, surprised by this act of affection, just put his arms around her and embraced her back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saga skip: 3 months afterwards, Raditz had gone to earth to find his brother, Kakarot, aka, Goku. He’d also found out about the dragonballs and sent the message back to Vegeta and Nappa, who then took a year to get to earth, only to be defeated. As Vegeta was leaving the earth, Frieza had found out about the dragonballs and had ordered that he and his 3 right hand men, Dodoria, Zarbon and Tanya, go to Namek so they could collect the dragonballs and Frieza could wish for eternal life. Tanya saw this as her opportunity to wish back her mother and get her revenge on Frieza, by wishing for the power to defeat him. Whereas Vegeta wanted eternal life, so of the 3 wishes, I’d say Tanya’s was the most noble. Now on with the story. We’ll start when Frieza got his fourth Dragonball from the nameks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tanya watched as the helpless Namek fell to the ground, motionless. This past year had been a living hell and this trip to Namek wasn’t making it any easier. She looked at Dodoria, then at her father. They were both smiling evilly, making Tanya feel sick. Seeing that evil smile from her father wasn’t something she expected from him. Then, her scouter went off. "Father, the scouter says that Vegeta is here, should go check it out?" Asked Tanya.
"No my dear, Cooie is on Vegeta’s tail. He’ll take care of him for us." Said Zarbon.
Over the years, Vegeta and Zarbon had developed an extreme hatred for each other. Maybe because after a while, Zarbon began enjoying Frieza's disgusting bedtime rituals. Tanya felt exactly the same, but it was for a totally different reason. "Father, if Cooie is to destroy him, I wish to watch." Said Tanya.
"Tanya, that’s not like you. But if it would make you happy." Said Zarbon.
"Zarbon, your daughter is finally learning. She now understands that she is a killer and the thrill of a kill is what she wants right now, but we need you here child." Said Frieza.
"Alright master." Said Tanya.
With that, she stayed silent. ‘You may think I’m a killer Frieza, but I assure you, I’m nothing of the kind. I hate killing, but for you, I’ll make an exception.’ Tanya thought.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
Cooie had done the old ‘look out behind you’ trick and he thought Vegeta had fallen for it hook, line and sinker. "What a fool, I can’t believe he fell for that." Said Cooie.
"Hey fish head." Said a voice.
And sure enough, there stood Vegeta, unscathed. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I also learned to increase my speed while I was on earth." Vegeta gloated.
Cooie panicked and flew off. Vegeta wasn’t going to let him get away and he fired an energy blast at him, completely destroying him. Vegeta landed on top of a mountain. ‘Frieza and his boys must have sensed my energy on their scouters. Now, I can take Zarbon and Dodoria, no problem but Frieza. Hmm, Frieza is going to be a problem.’.
Vegeta thought for a moment more. ‘Well, looks like Tanya’s here too. She’ll be more than happy to help take Frieza down. But if we were immortal, it would mean the job would be done alot faster. But Frieza already has some of the dragonballs and until I have all seven, I can’t take on Frieza.’.
‘Unless I can find one and hang on to it, that way they can’t make a wish.’.
Vegeta’s scouter went off as it picked up the energy patterns moving away from their original area. "Well, looks like the party just got started. Frieza and all his boys might have a little trouble on the way!" Shouted Vegeta, as he took of after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Frieza, Dodoria, Zarbon and Tanya landed in front of the Namek village. 3 elders and 2 young namek children were brought from inside the house. "Ahh my friends, allow me to introduce myself. I am Frieza, and I have come for the dragonball." Said Frieza.
The Namek tried speaking in his native tongue but Frieza saw right through it and ordered him to speak English. "We elders stay home with the children while the men go to work in the fields, will that do?" The namek asked.
As the Namek and Frieza talked, Tanya sensed 2 power levels on the cliff, (when I say sensed, I mean she felt the 2 power levels). ‘Hmm, I wonder.’ She thought.
She was that focused on the power levels, that she didn’t notice her father had killed 2 of the Namek elders. Then, after a few minutes, 3 young Nameks arrived and killed some of Frieza’s men. Tanya was secretly overjoyed that reinforcements had arrived for the Nameks. And in the midst of the confusion, the Namek elder destroyed the three remaining scouters, hers hidden in the pouch on her skirt. But then, Frieza summoned Dodoria who destroyed the 3 young Namek warriors. "As you can see my friend, resistance is futile, so just hand over the dragonball and we’ll be on our way." Said Frieza.
Tanya looked the Namek elder in the eye, giving him a pleading look. ‘Just give him the dragonball elder. What’s more important, the dragonball or your children?’ Tanya thought.
"It seems I have no choice, but if I give you the dragonball, you must leave my village and never come back." Shouted the Elder
"Very well, I give you my word." Said Frieza.
"OK then, tell the girl come forward, I’ll only give the dragonball to her.".
"Go on Tanya, step forward." Said Zarbon.
Tanya went towards the Namek children as the elder came back with the dragonball. "I’ll only give this to you, if you promise my children won’t come to any harm." Said the elder.
"Frieza doesn’t see any use for them anyway, so it’s a promise I can easily keep. If you promise, to destroy this." Said Tanya.
She took out her scouter and handed it to the elder, who easily crushed it. "Frieza, the Namek’s children will not be harmed. If they are, I’ll destroy the dragonball here and now!" Tanya shouted to Frieza.
"Always making the demands. All right, the Nameks children will not be harmed." Said Frieza, as Tanya walking back towards her father.
Tanya winked at the 2 boys as she walked by, and they smiled back at her. "But, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll tell us where the other dragonballs are." Said Frieza.
"HOW DARE YOU. You got what you wanted now leave us as promised!" Shouted the elder.
Frieza was getting bored, and he promised that for the Namek’s insolence, he would return. As Dodoria was about to attack, Tanya stepped in front of the elder, arms outstretched at her sides. "You’re not coming any further Dodoria!".
But Dodoria just went up and through her out of the way. That’s when Dodoria killed the elder. The younger of the Namek boys had run off but the eldest stayed and watched. Tanya spotted him. "Kid, run!" She yelled.
The boy turned tail and tried to run, but Dodoria cut him off. "Your brother may have escaped, BUT NOT YOU!" He shouted.
Then, all of a sudden, someone yelled, "STOP IT!".
Then, the mystery person dove at Dodoria and got him away from the Namek boy, finishing by shouting, "Take that jerk!".
As Dodoria went for him, another one flashed out of nowhere and clocked Dodoria upside the head. The person shouted to his comrade as he grabbed the boy and they flew off, with Dodoria following close behind. "Father, I’ll follow him, he might need some help." Tanya said urgently.
"Go Tanya, hurry!" Said Zarbon.
Tanya flew off in Dodoria’s direction. She quickly caught up and saw the bald alien drop the Namek boy as a blast from Dodoria skimmed his bald head. Luckily, the younger alien caught him and dodged another blast from Dodoria. Tanya intervened as the aliens took cover. "DODORIA, STOP THIS MADNESS!" Screamed Tanya.
"I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU GIRL!" Dodoria screamed back.
He fired two blasts, one hit her left shoulder, and the other hit her thigh. Tanya let out a blood gurgling scream as she started to fall. The pain was so intense, she blacked out before she hit the water.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"… kind of alien do you think she is?" Asked the young human boy.
"I don’t know Gohan, she looks human. But no human we know has a purple ki trail." Said the other alien.
Tanya heard the whispers and forced herself to open her eyes. Everything was blurry to start with, and her head swam as she tried to sit up. "Hey, she’s waking up." Shouted a high-pitched voice.
"Easy there, you lost alot of blood." Said the older voice.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Tanya asked.
"My name is Krillin and this is Gohan, Bulma and Dende.".
"What’s yours?" Asked Dende politely.
"Tanya." She said.
Her vision focused and she saw a little bald man with tattoos on his forehead, a little boy with black hair, a woman with aqua blue hair and the young Namek boy she tried to save. "That pink blob attacked you, we caught you as you were about to hit the water." Said Gohan.
Tanya looked at her shoulder and then her thigh, to find them both securely bandaged. "Thank you. I didn’t expect the star treatment." Said Tanya.
"I told them how you tried to save my father. They were more than happy to help." Said Dende.
"I didn’t save him kid, I just interfered and it led to all this.".
"Hey, the important thing is you tried. I don’t think your boss expected you to do that." Said Krillin.
"Why don’t you tell us the whole story, maybe we can help in some way." Said Bulma.
So, Tanya began explaining her mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dodoria was on her way back to Frieza and Zarbon, trying to think of ways he could convince Zarbon that it wasn‘t him that attacked his daughter. Then, something shot him from the sky and he landed in the water. He came up gasping for air and came face to face with Vegeta. "So Dodoria, we meet again." Vegeta said, calmly.
Dodoria pulled himself onto the shore. "So, it was you that came up behind me and blasted me outta the sky." Said Dodoria.
It was more than a fact than a question. "That’s right Dodo brain. I’m back and I want revenge." Said Vegeta.
"You brat! Your cocky little attitude is gonna get you killed one of these days! And not by some two bid country bumpkin, but by a real warrior!" Yelled Dodoria.
Vegeta just smirked at him. "But if you were turn over your scouter and be on your way, I just might overlook your arrogance this one time." Said Dodoria, holding out his hand.
"So, it’s just like I thought. You lost your scouter and now you have no way to find your precious dragonballs." Said Vegeta.
He brought his hand up to his scouter. "What will I get in return for my priceless scouter, ay Dodo brain. What’s it worth to you?".
Dodoria tensed up as Vegeta held out the scouter. "It’s all yours." Said Vegeta, dropping the scouter in front of him.
"You mean there’s no catch. Hmm, after all this time, you’ve realised that your high and mighty attitude doesn't cut it here and you wise up." Said Dodoria.
Vegeta scowled and put his foot on top of the scouter. As he began to crush it, Dodoria started screaming at him, until the scouter was no more. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU BRAT!" Screamed Dodoria.
Vegeta smirked at him and removed his foot from the remains of the scouter. "Let’s just say I didn’t need it anymore. You see, I‘ve learned an ability so I don‘t need the scouter. Instead, when I need to find something, I just summon a sense from within." Vegeta said.
Vegeta‘s expression changed. "And whenever I need this power, I can call it forth and use it to destroy the likes of you and Frieza. It‘s just something I picked up while fighting those two bid country bumpkins as you so called them.".
"No way, those fancy powers of yours could never have found those earthlings." Shouted Dodoria.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Vegeta.
"The ones harbouring a pint-size Namek, and your darling friend, Tanya.".
"What are you trying to pull. You and I both know there aren’t any earthlings here. And even if there were, I would have sensed their presence long ago.".
"HA. You’re as lost as I am without a scouter and you’re so dumb, you destroyed the very last one! NO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CRUSH YOU!".
And that’s when the fight ensued. Vegeta quickly gained the upper hand, making Dodoria tell him how the planet was destroyed. Then, Vegeta told him that Tanya had already told him and he’d known who destroyed his planet and who ordered the death of his mother. Vegeta wanted to finish Dodoria so, he broke both of his arms and blasted him with one humongous blast, turning Dodoria into nothing but a pile of ashes. "That takes care of pink boy, and now, onto the Dragonballs.".
Vegeta turned and blasted into the sky.
~~~~~~~~~
"So that’s my story, and my plan for the dragonballs. Frieza’s got 5 of them and if I know my pal Vegeta, he’s got the same plan Frieza does." Said Tanya.
"Well, we just have to find one of the dragonballs and hide it somewhere. Tanya, you can’t do much ‘cause you’re injured but we can still do something." Said Krillin.
"Hey, why don’t we go see the eldest Namek." Dende called.
"The eldest Namek? Who’s he?" Asked Tanya.
"The eldest Namek is the one that saved my people from extinction, we could go to him for help.".
"It’s worth a try, what do you all say." Asked Krillin.
Bulma thought for a moment. "Krillin, why don’t you and Dende go to the eldest Namek and me, Gohan and Tanya will stay here. If we find another Dragonball on the radar, we’ll go after it." Said Bulma.
"Sounds like a plan, let’s go kid." Said Krillin as he and Dende made a break for the cave entrance and off to the eldest Namek.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next time:- Vegeta gets his first Dragonball. Krillin and Dende keep going to the eldest Namek’s place, and watch an extreme fight along the way. Tanya tells Bulma and Gohan a little more about her past with Vegeta and Zarbon goes to find Tanya and he runs into Vegeta instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
How it all began- Part 3
Frieza led Vegeta into his quarters. "Now Vegeta, I understand that today is your 20th birthday. It’s now that I can make you a very special offer." Said Frieza.
"What kind of offer?" Asked Vegeta.
"Didn’t your mother ever tell you what I’m like?".
"My mother was killed when I was 3 weeks old Frieza, you should know that better than anybody.".
Frieza glared at him. Vegeta did know what Frieza was talking about, his father had told him 2 days before he turned him over to Frieza. "I’m sure I don’t know what you mean Vegeta." Frieza said all innocently.
"Yes you do, my father told me it was you that ordered my mother’s murder. He also told me you swing both ways. Sorry Frieza, I’m not interested!" Shouted Vegeta.
Then, faster than Vegeta could see, Frieza delivered a straight kick to the abdomen. "You will show me the proper respect I deserve boy! But it’s not surprising though, I had beaten Taina more times than I bedded her. Looks like I have to go to plan B.".
Vegeta looked up at Frieza, a look filled with rage and hate. It was a look Frieza was expecting; Taina gave him the exact same look. Frieza turned away and went to the telecom. "Captain Ginyu; bring me Zarbon and Tanya." Frieza ordered.
"Sir, Zarbon and his family have disappeared. But I have word from Cooie where they are going." Said Ginyu.
"Good captain Ginyu. When you find them, make sure they stay there. I want to see the look on Tanya’s face when Vegeta is thrown in front of her, beaten and bloody!".
"Yes sir.".
The link closed and Frieza turned back to Vegeta. "Tanya and I will never be loyal to you Frieza, no matter what you do to us!" Vegeta said, spitting at Frieza when he was done.
"But Zarbon will always be loyal to me, when his family are at stake." Said Frieza.
"As for you Vegeta, either you will show me respect by yourself or I will beat it out of you!".
And with that, Frieza began beating Vegeta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tanya led her family to the docking bays. "Mother, when you get back to earth, make sure to destroy the ship. They won’t follow something that isn’t of use to them." Said Tanya.
"She’s right Dianna." Said Zarbon, who stopped himself and Dianna running.
"Father, we have to hurry.".
"Always remember Dianna, I love you.".
Zarbon finished that sentiment with a kiss. "I love you too Zarbon." Said Dianna.
"And I love the both of you and I really hate to break this up, but if we don’t get moving, they’ll be nothing left for either of you to love." Said Tanya, her voice filled with worry and panic.
Tanya did love her parents and she didn’t want her parents to be broken apart, but the ship would leave without Dianna if they didn’t get moving. They arrived at the docking bay and Cooie was there waiting. "Get on bored Dianna." He said.
Dianna got on the runway, still holding Zarbon’s hand. She looked back at him once and let go of his as she ran up the runway. The door closed. As the ship was starting to take off, the Ginyu force grabbed Zarbon and Tanya. "What’s going on?" Tanya yelled.
Frieza emerged, with Dodoria carrying Vegeta. "Tanya, Tanya, you were a fool to think your mother could ever escape me." Said Frieza.
"Kiss my ass Frieza, Mom’s getting out of here and you can’t stop her!" Shouted Tanya.
"I BEG TO DIFFER!".
Frieza gathered a ki-blast in his palm. "You need to be taught a lesson, girl!" Shouted Frieza.
He fired the blast at the ship. "NO!" Screamed Zarbon.
The blast made contact with the ship, and the ship disappeared. "MOM!" Screamed Tanya.
For the second time in her life, tears fell from Tanya’s eyes. Zarbon head was slumped and his shoulders shook. He was trying so hard not to cry. Dodoria through Vegeta in front of Tanya. She ran to his side. After Frieza said something to Zarbon, Jeice chopped the side of Tanya’s neck and her world went black.

"Tanya, I’m doing this because I don’t want something this horrible to haunt you for the rest of your life." Said Zarbon.
Tanya began crying. "I’ll make him pay for this father, I promise you!".

"Very well, I give you my word." Said Frieza.
"OK then, tell the girl come forward, I’ll only give the dragonball to her.".
"Go on Tanya, step forward." Said Zarbon.
Tanya went towards the Namek children as the elder came back with the dragonball. "I’ll only give this to you, if you promise my children won’t come to any harm." Said the elder.
"Frieza doesn’t see any use for them anyway, so it’s a promise I can easily keep. If you promise, to destroy this." Said Tanya.
She took out her scouter and handed it to the elder, who easily crushed it. "Frieza, the Namek’s children will not be harmed. If they are, I’ll destroy the dragonball here and now!" Tanya shouted to Frieza.
"Always making the demands. All right, the Nameks children will not be harmed." Said Frieza, as Tanya walking back towards her father.
Tanya winked at the 2 boys as she walked by, and they smiled back at her. "But, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll tell us where the other dragonballs are." Said Frieza.
"HOW DARE YOU. You got what you wanted now leave us as promised!" Shouted the elder.
Frieza was getting bored, and he promised that for the Namek’s insolence, he would return. As Dodoria was about to attack, Tanya stepped in front of the elder, arms outstretched at her sides. "You’re not coming any further Dodoria!".
But Dodoria just went up and through her out of the way. That’s when Dodoria killed the elder. The younger of the Namek boys had run off but the eldest stayed and watched. Tanya spotted him. "Kid, run!" She yelled.
The boy turned tail and tried to run, but Dodoria cut him off. "Your brother may have escaped, BUT NOT YOU!" He shouted.
Then, all of a sudden, someone yelled, "STOP IT!".
Then, the mystery person dove at Dodoria and got him away from the Namek boy, finishing by shouting, "Take that jerk!".
As Dodoria went for him, another one flashed out of nowhere and clocked Dodoria upside the head. The person shouted to his comrade as he grabbed the boy and they flew off, with Dodoria following close behind. "Father, I’ll follow him, he might need some help." Tanya said urgently.
"Go Tanya, hurry!" Said Zarbon.
Tanya flew off in Dodoria’s direction. She quickly caught up and saw the bald alien drop the Namek boy as a blast from Dodoria skimmed his bald head. Luckily, the younger alien caught him and dodged another blast from Dodoria. Tanya intervened as the aliens took cover. "DODORIA, STOP THIS MADNESS!" Screamed Tanya.
"I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU GIRL!" Dodoria screamed back.
He fired two blasts, one hit her left shoulder, and the other hit her thigh. Tanya let out a blood gurgling scream as she started to fall. The pain was so intense, she blacked out before she hit the water.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"… kind of alien do you think she is?" Asked the young human boy.
"I don’t know Gohan, she looks human. But no human we know has a purple ki trail." Said the other alien.
Tanya heard the whispers and forced herself to open her eyes. Everything was blurry to start with, and her head swam as she tried to sit up. "Hey, she’s waking up." Shouted a high-pitched voice.
"Easy there, you lost alot of blood." Said the older voice.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Tanya asked.
"My name is Krillin and this is Gohan, Bulma and Dende.".
"What’s yours?" Asked Dende politely.
"Tanya." She said.
Her vision focused and she saw a little bald man with tattoos on his forehead, a little boy with black hair, a woman with aqua blue hair and the young Namek boy she tried to save. "That pink blob attacked you, we caught you as you were about to hit the water." Said Gohan.
Tanya looked at her shoulder and then her thigh, to find them both securely bandaged. "Thank you. I didn’t expect the star treatment." Said Tanya.
"I told them how you tried to save my father. They were more than happy to help." Said Dende.
"I didn’t save him kid, I just interfered and it led to all this.".
"Hey, the important thing is you tried. I don’t think your boss expected you to do that." Said Krillin.
"Why don’t you tell us the whole story, maybe we can help in some way." Said Bulma.
So, Tanya began explaining her mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dodoria was on her way back to Frieza and Zarbon, trying to think of ways he could convince Zarbon that it wasn‘t him that attacked his daughter. Then, something shot him from the sky and he landed in the water. He came up gasping for air and came face to face with Vegeta. "So Dodoria, we meet again." Vegeta said, calmly.
Dodoria pulled himself onto the shore. "So, it was you that came up behind me and blasted me outta the sky." Said Dodoria.
It was more than a fact than a question. "That’s right Dodo brain. I’m back and I want revenge." Said Vegeta.
"You brat! Your cocky little attitude is gonna get you killed one of these days! And not by some two bid country bumpkin, but by a real warrior!" Yelled Dodoria.
Vegeta just smirked at him. "But if you were turn over your scouter and be on your way, I just might overlook your arrogance this one time." Said Dodoria, holding out his hand.
"So, it’s just like I thought. You lost your scouter and now you have no way to find your precious dragonballs." Said Vegeta.
He brought his hand up to his scouter. "What will I get in return for my priceless scouter, ay Dodo brain. What’s it worth to you?".
Dodoria tensed up as Vegeta held out the scouter. "It’s all yours." Said Vegeta, dropping the scouter in front of him.
"You mean there’s no catch. Hmm, after all this time, you’ve realised that your high and mighty attitude doesn't cut it here and you wise up." Said Dodoria.
Vegeta scowled and put his foot on top of the scouter. As he began to crush it, Dodoria started screaming at him, until the scouter was no more. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU BRAT!" Screamed Dodoria.
Vegeta smirked at him and removed his foot from the remains of the scouter. "Let’s just say I didn’t need it anymore. You see, I‘ve learned an ability so I don‘t need the scouter. Instead, when I need to find something, I just summon a sense from within." Vegeta said.
Vegeta‘s expression changed. "And whenever I need this power, I can call it forth and use it to destroy the likes of you and Frieza. It‘s just something I picked up while fighting those two bid country bumpkins as you so called them.".
"No way, those fancy powers of yours could never have found those earthlings." Shouted Dodoria.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Vegeta.
"The ones harbouring a pint-size Namek, and your darling friend, Tanya.".
"What are you trying to pull. You and I both know there aren’t any earthlings here. And even if there were, I would have sensed their presence long ago.".
"HA. You’re as lost as I am without a scouter and you’re so dumb, you destroyed the very last one! NO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CRUSH YOU!".
And that’s when the fight ensued. Vegeta quickly gained the upper hand, making Dodoria tell him how the planet was destroyed. Then, Vegeta told him that Tanya had already told him and he’d known who destroyed his planet and who ordered the death of his mother. Vegeta wanted to finish Dodoria so, he broke both of his arms and blasted him with one humongous blast, turning Dodoria into nothing but a pile of ashes. "That takes care of pink boy, and now, onto the Dragonballs.".
Vegeta turned and blasted into the sky.
~~~~~~~~~
"So that’s my story, and my plan for the dragonballs. Frieza’s got 5 of them and if I know my pal Vegeta, he’s got the same plan Frieza does." Said Tanya.
"Well, we just have to find one of the dragonballs and hide it somewhere. Tanya, you can’t do much ‘cause you’re injured but we can still do something." Said Krillin.
"Hey, why don’t we go see the eldest Namek." Dende called.
"The eldest Namek? Who’s he?" Asked Tanya.
"The eldest Namek is the one that saved my people from extinction, we could go to him for help.".
"It’s worth a try, what do you all say." Asked Krillin.
Bulma thought for a moment. "Krillin, why don’t you and Dende go to the eldest Namek and me, Gohan and Tanya will stay here. If we find another Dragonball on the radar, we’ll go after it." Said Bulma.
"Sounds like a plan, let’s go kid." Said Krillin as he and Dende made a break for the cave entrance and off to the eldest Namek.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next time:- Vegeta gets his first Dragonball. Krillin and Dende keep going to the eldest Namek’s place, and watch an extreme fight along the way. Tanya tells Bulma and Gohan a little more about her past with Vegeta and Zarbon goes to find Tanya and he runs into Vegeta instead.
