Last time on DBAS:

Gohan and Krillins ship finally arrived on Planet Namek! And Neris notices one of them feels a lot like her own ki. And so our story continues...

Krillin quickly grabbed Gohan and Bulma by the wrist and quickly hid behind the nearest and largest boulder they could. The two ki signatures Gohan had noticed then came towards their location and spotted their spaceship.

“Huh? Must be tourists. What a weird ass spaceship.”

“Where ever those weird tourists are, let’s give them a warm welcome under Lord Frieza! Blow up their ship!”

“Sure!” One of the aliens prepared his blaster, firing an enormous ki blast thru the windshield of the ship and destroying the engine.

“NOO! Our ship!! You jerks are going to pay for that!”

“These jerks are nothing Gohan! Let’s beat them!” Krillin while finaly showing themselves and Gohan followed.

“Hey, did you hear that? The midgets think they can beat us!!”

“Haha yeah. “We’re nothing” like Death is not neither!!”

Gohan and Krillin started to increase their ki dramatically.

“What the-!?? Th-That’s too high!!!”

Both boys then after imaged and with one hit a piece they knocked the two aliens flying and bouncing off another, killing them instantly.

Elsewhere, amidst Nail and Neris’ arguing they sensed Frieza had now reached the 4th village.

“!! P-Papa..!! More aliens..! That way…! And it’s..not that far from a Namekian village. Where Dende and Cargo live.” Neris said suddenly forgetting what they were arguing about as she stared in that general direction suddenly. Just then as well, from one of them.. She felt a very similar ki signature matching her own.

“You’re right Neris.” Nail agreed sensing the same kind of ki energy as Neris’. Could there be more saiyans arriving on Namek? Then he spotted that of Vegetas also somewhat close by, and that of Cuis approaching his.

“P-Papa..! What could this mean?? Why do I feel so much energy that kinda feels like my own?”

“Neris...I know how curious you are right now, but we should wait and see what these new strange creatures want and if they are a danger to Namek in its time of crisis.”

“But- Papa…!!” Neris pouted, concentrating on the one belonging to Gohan and could sense that he felt a lot differenter compared to everyone else on this planet. A lot..nicer and warmer. “I just wanna look..I’ll be back! And, maybe I can help the other Namekians too! Please let me go papa?”

    “Neris..I..” Nail stuttered hating the idea of losing his precious child again like how scared he was when she nearly drowned.

    “Papa please! I might not ever get another chance to meet someone else just like me!” Neris pleaded.

    “Let her go, Nail. She deserves this much. And she’s stronger now than she was prior.”

    “Fine..” Nail said resigned since Elder Guru even suggested it.

    Neris beamed. “Thank you Papa! Thank you Grandpa!” She smiled hugging Nail and wrapping her arms around his tall, broad shoulders then Gurus leg who smiled back and patted her on the head. Neris then flew out of Gurus house and towards that of Son Gohan.

    “Please be safe Neris…”

Appule had just finished eliminating the 5th Namekian, while Grapefrute had finally retrieved their 4th dragonballs. Now Frieza had his men had the 7-star ball, 2-star ball, 5-star ball and finally the 3-star ball in their clutches. He handed it to Dodoria.

“Thank you Grapefrute. Now we just need to find the last 3 and I can get my wish. Please look after it well Dodoria, I hear Vegeta has caught wind I’m here now and he will want them as well.”

“With pleasure my lord.” Dodoria said, holding up the 3-star ball to the Namekian sun to stare at its beauty.

“Lord Frieza, if I may interrupt but Vegeta has just touched down on Namek followed by Cui. As for the other large two power readings, they’ve appeared and disappeared and they haven’t returned. And there’s a 3rd strange reading heading right for us.” Zarbon stated keeping his eyes on the scouter, who was carrying the other two balls.

“Whatever Zarbon, right now I’m more concerned about that rebel Vegeta. Cui should dispatch of him quite soon however but still… Their powers last I checked were basically equal,maybe they’ll even kill each other. Though we’d lose poor Cui.”

---

Bulma began sobbing over the shattered glass and debris of their ship. Krillin looked to her in pity then tried to cheer her up but couldn’t think of much.”Um, Bulma.. You do realize Vegeta’s ship landed literally about 5 miles away from us right..? We’re in danger here.”

“M-Maybe some Namekians can fix the ship for us anyways.? I mean it did come from here originally.”

Bulma whimpered in reply before sighing. “I wish I had your youthful optimism…” She muttered before reluctantly following along.

---

Zarbon continued keeping his scouter locked onto Vegetas, when suddenly his blew up after the reading had skyrocketed. “!!!???”

“Huh? Whatsamatter Zarbon?”

“....I think my scouter must have malfunctioned.. Just now, it read Vegetas power level as over 22,000!”

“What?! That’s impossible! That’s definitely a malfunction. There’s no way Vegetas ki is that high!” Dodoria set one of the dragonballs down and pushed the little button on his own scouter to check the reading and read the same 22k as Zarbon and it was still climbing. “H-How the…!? 24k!??!”

“What?! Did you just say 24,000??? How!?”

“Yes I said 24,000! How can this be? Last time he was only 18,000!”

“Hmph, why are you two so surprised?” Frieza gloated, smiling wickedly. “Vegeta has always been in the front lines, it’s honestly not so surprising he would be getting stronger and stronger after the many battles he’s faced! And surely 24k is not beyond our own impressive battle powers. Certainly it’s not even close to mine anyways. And I suppose he’d still want that same wish of his he wanted on earth.” Frieza sighed. “Honestly, we’ve always been at such odds from the very beginning. First the brat goes to earth without being ordered. Now how dare he seek the same power I want! It seems he covets my position dearly. Still...it is rather rash of him to want to challenge me so openly. Hohohoho..!!” Frieza said watching Cuis battle power vanish on his own scouter.

“..!! Th-Then his power truly IS at 24,000?? He swatted out Cui like he was a fly…!” Dodoria said in shock.

“No matter, let’s just go find the 5th dragonball shall we?”

“Sir, I am spotting about another 10 Namekians over in this direction!” Grapefrute said pointing in a direction roughly to the North East. Towards where Krillin and Gohan were heading.

“Excellent! It’s off in that direction we go then!!”

---

    Krillin, Bulma and Gohan continued their trek towards a cave they spotted in a nearby mountain. “We’re almost there! Just a few more feet and we can set up ca-”

“What’s wrong Krillin?” Gohan blinked.

Krillin had suddenly sensed the power of one enormous chi heading their way followed by maybe 15 others in hot pursuit. “EVERYONE INTO THE CAVE NOW!!!”

It was then Gohan felt the presence as well and hurried Bulma inside, pressing his back to one wall of the cave with Bulma right beside him. Krillin doing the same on the opposite wall. Just, managing to both decrease their chi to that of 0 as the horde of Frieza and his men flew past. Several agonizing seconds past by til after a while they were out of sight completely.

“Huh.. Guess that wasn’t Vegeta after all. Lucky they weren’t after us huh guys?” Bulma said completely oblivious as she poked her head out in the direction they were flying towards. “But..who were those guys anyways? They all flew by so fast I couldn’t see-”

“B..B..Bulma..can you check your dragon radar again please? J-Just for a second…” Krillin could barely speak as he slid to the ground in terror, feeling his heart racing at 100 beats per second.

“Huh?? What’s your deal?? But alright…” Bulma said as she pulled out the radar and saw the signatures of 4 balls heading towards a 5th. “What the-!? How the heck did you guys see all that?! Those guys really DID have the dragonballs!!”

“....I knew it..Why is it always us…??” Krillin said still shaking in fear, his hands clenched at his sides he turned to Gohan. “Gohan! Did you see that one guy in the center in the chair?”

“Y-Yeah..and..and I felt his power..It’s enormous Krillin!”

“I know. I f-froze! His power might be stronger than anything we’ve ever faced before! A...And if HE’S looking for the dragonballs too…!!”

“W-Wait are you telling me that one guys stronger than Vegeta!? How-?”

“That doesn’t matter how! How the heck are we supposed to take the dragonballs from those monsters?!?”

“Hey lookit this! That fifth dragoball their all heading towards is just 14 kilo away from us! Not that far from here at all!”

“Krillin!! That’s also the place we felt all those namekians from!!”

“Yeah, no doubt about it Gohan. I...I’m going to check it out!” Krillin said removing his hat.

“M-Me too!!” Gohan said removing the backpack Chichi had packed for him, tossing it aside right by Krillins hat and pack he was also removing.

“Oh right, Bulma you stay back here and try to contact Roshi so he can tell Goku what’s been happening!”

“You got it guys! Stay safe...okay?”

“You gotcha- Gohan! Suppress your chi as much as possible on our way over there okay?”

“Yup! Right behind you!”

They both nodded to one another and began to head towards the 5th Namekian village, at the same time Neris was also heading over in that direction as well!
