Astronaut

I held my head back as Mom was talking. "I can't believe my baby is gonna be the first Astronaut!"

How did Bulma convince my mom of this plan. Why did I have to get in the freaking spaceship. Go to space, space was like large and clearly dangerous. With fucking immortal tyrants and transformation based cheaters. At least this spaceship was spacious.

I sighed placing the helmet onto my head. "Piccolo do you wanna come?"

He looked over, "No, with you being a head of me I need to train."

Bulma laughed, "You heard him Eins, up you go."

Mom waved, "Stay safe honey, buckle your seat belt and make sure you don't freeze."

I closed the door and and it rolled into place sealing behind me. I walked over to the console, Bulma had walked me through the steps. I waited for everyone to get to a safe distance before flicking the engine. Next was the jets, the ship slowly rose off the ground. Before fully taking off into the sky I deactivated the landing gear.

As I went straight up I wouldn't need to control the steering yet. I looked down at the seat and rolled my eyes the thing didn't even have a seat belt. Though telling that Bulma had made the ship to automatically adjust its gravity, velocity and speed. I likely wouldn't even need a seat belt.

I stretched out and jumped in place a few times. If I was gonna be here I might as well train a bit as the Spaceship leaves orbit. After that I will do my job and study the logs the spaceship will make. This whole test is to monitor its stability and all that. If the spaceship fails, I just gotta jump into the escape pod and rocket back to earth.

The Travel time to the outer solar system was a single day and I honestly enjoyed the view. I now however was letting the ship just take scan as it made its way around the outer rim. Oh actually...

Jumping up I walked over to the automated gravity control. Staring at it for a bit, Bulma warned me not to mess with it. Its purpose was in case I had to land the internal gravity would match the outer gravity on entry. This was how Crocili's pod worked, Bulma was just better at making it work for a much bigger ship.

"Hmmm."

I flicked the flip that changed it from automated to manual. Looking around I adjusted the level from its 9.5 to a 10. I felt the change immediately, I felt heavier. Biting my lip I turned it up to 15 and it was like I was doing weight training again. Well actually my clothes underneath the space suit were weighted.

Moving around slightly I adjusted it to 25. The weight nearly dropped me, but I could handle it. This was good. Bulma might tell me off, but did it matter in the face of might? I made some punches and kicks. Moving step by step, feeling the pressure.

"!ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!"

I jumped in shock at the spaceships warning. I wobbled around and caught myself. Lowering the gravity back down to 10. I turned and ran to where the Alert was going off. My eyebrows raised as within the scan and monitor it revealed 3 pods heading to neighboring solar system. They were gonna land on Earth's nearest habitable world.

Same pods as Crocili, Earth was sent one sayian low class warrior. Now what might be three more... No! My eyes stared at the screen they split off. Two were heading to earth while one was heading to the other solar system. If it was sayians I had to get back to earth.

Crocili was a coward however he had mentioned he was merely a sort of scout. Low-class warriors were often sent first to set up a base for the stronger warriors. As Crocili put it this system was implemented after an invasion on namek. Which was apparently Piccolo's homeworld.

I tapped on the console, "I'll call Bulma and tell her about this now then manually fly the ship back to earth."

"SHIT SHIT SHIT!" I was crashing down I complete shut off the automated works just to get to earth faster. Those space pods moved way faster than I thought. The spaceship was gonna land in the ocean so I opened the door to the outside and bolted.

I could sense the two invaders and they were in west city. Which might I say was the fucking worst thing possible. With my speed I could see the city on the horizon. The pods didn't hit west city, but with earth's strongest warriors all at Capsule Corp. The warriors that came to earth would head there if they had those scouters.

As I got closer I heard their conversation. My eyes scanned the scene Crocili and Piccolo were both dead. Which left Yamcha and Krillin alone and beaten down. I expected to see Uncle Gohan, but I couldn't sense his ki at all and I had feared the worst.

"Heh, look little Crocili got captured by these sayian looking rip off."

I didn't care much about Crocili as he was an invader. However I landed just behind the two warriors.

"From out point of view you are the rip-offs."

They turned and met my gaze. One had long hair flowing hair while the other was almost bald. "Ah you are the one to defeat Crocili aren't you?"

I stared them in the eyes, "I don't suppose you wish to share your names and supposed class?"

The two gave a half laugh, "Does it matter?"

I frowned, "I suppose not, dead men tell no tales."

Just as one opened their mouth to respond I blew a hole in him. The Bald one that I hot dropped and his partner had wide eyes. "YOU BASTARD! ARGH!"

I bolted towards me, "Black blade." With a motion his head thumped onto the ground and rolled away.

Looking up, "Gohan is?"

Bulma had a sad look and I could only feel the pain in my chest. Uncle was blown to bits, and Piccolo was dead. There was no more Kame, there was no Dragon balls. Except... There were.

I began walking back to the ocean. Yamcha ran over, "Woah! kid where are you going?"

"The Namekian Dragon balls."

Yamcha shook his head, "You plan on heading straight into a hornet's nest? You have no idea the dangers kid. You have no idea where Namek is and with Crocili dead we can't get any more easy information."

Krillin nodded, "Yeah, Eins its best we go talk with Old Roshi's Sister Baba. We can connect to them in the other-world and plan out next move."

I removed Yamcha's hand. "Tell Mom I'll miss her."

I bolted off into the distance. They killed my Uncle, my best friend. Like hell I was gonna wait.

------Piccolo pov------

"So this is Snake way?"

Gohan stood beside me, "Indeed, with the help of King Kai we will be able to train here despite our deaths."

"According to Krillin, Eins booked it back into space to find the Namekian Dragon balls."

Gohan sighed, "He is a little head strong. I just hope we won't see him here."

I laughed, "Not like he knows where Namek is."

Gohan spoke, "I was contacted by Roshi's Sister. If we get to King Kai's planet we will be able to ask him to guide Eins."

I nodded, "Guess let's start running." We both jumped onto the road and began our run.
