10 Arrival

Bulma, Krilin, and Gohan had been in space for about a month. According to the coordinates, planet Namek was somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. So a traveling over a few hundred million light-years in just a month wasn't all that bad.

Inside the ship, Gohan was seen reading a textbook on human biology. His appearance has changed somewhat. His hair was in a bowl cut, but other than that he was the same. Krillin was doing pull-ups in the corner, while Bulma was piloting the ship.

On the screen, a blip began to appear flickering. Bulma called the others over, and she headed in that direction. Putting the ship on autopilot, Bulma told everyone to get ready. Krillin tightened his shoes and belt and sat down to calm his jittering nerves. Gohan put his books away and changed into his gi.

They landed on the ground, and the latch opened. Bulma stepped out in a yellow jacket and brown pants, with Krillin and Gohan. The planet was wide open to them.

The grass was a bright blue, over brown dirt. The sky was varying shades of green, staying always bright due to the two suns. The water was a mix of blue and green. The trees had circular bushels of leaves. All in all, planet Namek was an exotic beauty.

Bulma took out her dragon radar and turned it on. It beeped and dots on the screen started to appear. These were the locations of the Namekian dragon balls.

Bulma looked confused. "According to my radar, two of the dragon balls are in the same location. But they're supposed to be spread out? That must mean...?"

"Someone is searching for them," answered Gohan

"If that's true then Bulma has to find somewhere to hide.", Krillin said.

Bulma nodded and returned the spaceship with a capsule. Krillin picked her up, and the three flew in search of a hiding spot.

Vegeta awoke floating inside a healing chamber in a PTO ship. He was submerged in a pale green liquid and had a breathing apparatus over his nose and mouth.

The door in the room opened at a doctor stepped inside. He had a bird-like face and was wearing a lab coat, which contrasted against his yellow skin. He went over to a machine and pressed a red button. The water inside was drained, leaving Vegeta standing wet and naked inside the empty pod. Hot air suddenly came from a vent, drying him off.

He stepped outside, and the doctor handed him his usual attire. His balance was slightly off due to the loss of his tail, so he kept stumbling. He put on his clothes and was about to leave the room before the voice of the doctor stopped him.

"Vegeta, Lord Frieza has informed all P.T.O. members that he has left for a planet named Namek, for some objects known as 'Dragon Balls'."

Faster than the bird-like being could see he was lifted off the ground by the scruff of his shirt and was slammed against the wall. Vegeta's snarling face was made apparent to him.

"How does he know of the Dragon balls!"

The doctor was quick to answer, "H-He h-had heard about them over Scouter coms a little over a year ago."

Vegeta cursed. How could he be so stupid! He had left the Universal Communications feature on when Nappa and himself were informed of the balls' existence. Now Frieza would use his wish for immortality.

He threw the shaking doctor to the side and rushed out of the room. He went to the travel station of the ship and activated one of the attack pods. He inputted the coordinates of the planet and closed the hatch of the ship. It blasted off into space a few seconds later.

..........

On earth, Yamcha and Goku were still in the hospital. To pass the time they were playing a game of I Spy. Yamcha started.

"I spy something,..... gray."

Goku scratched his head, before replying, "Uh, the floor?"

Before Yamcha could answer, the door was forcibly barged open. The doctors rushed to stop the person, but he easily pushed them back. Goku and Yamcha were treated to the site of Yajarobe walking through people like they were air.

After pushing the doctors away, Yajarobe went to the two.

"Korin pulled all the stops for you two. There are 200 Sensu beans in this bag."

He put the full bag down on the table and handed Goku and Yamcha two extra Sensu beans. they popped the beans into their mouths and swallowed. A second passed before the two overflowed with power, destroying the hospital equipment around them. Their auras flickered a bright silver before fading.

They both got up as Goku started to laugh and Yamcha smirked. Much to the doctor's shock, they both flexed and their casts and bandages broke of. After running to the hospital showers, and putting their clothes on, they flew out of their window. Yesterday the two were informed by Dr. Briefs that he had finished building the spaceship.

They landed in front of Capsule Corporation and walked inside. They saw Dr. Briefs issuing out orders for a project. He turned to them and started to walk to the ship. He started explaining the ship to them.

"I installed some new features, to aid you in your journey. Inside the ship, there is a training room, enough food to last you a year, or a month in your case Goku, and an autopilot feature. The training room has a gravity feature I installed after hearing Krillin's recount of his training on the Lookout. The gravity can go up to a max of 100g's."

They nodded at him and climbed on the ship. The door closed automatically, and the two look at the inside of the ship. It had a metal tiled floor and a circular interior. There was a door leading to the training room. Over the monitor, the countdown started. The two quickly took seats and strapped their belts. The ship lifted off and blasted into the sky.
