“Um… Mr. Guru sir, Please forgive me for getting straight to the point but we need that dragonball above your head I swear on my life we’ll never give it up to those monsters!” Krillin said clenching his fists looking up into Guru’s eyes.

    “Please Grandpa? If these Ee-arth people triumph they’ll also regain their dragonballs on their planet too and if they get their wish the Namek on their planet would be reincarnated as well!” Neris also replied.

    “What?! There are also Dragonballs on Earth? Then, that must mean a Namekian….?” Guru said as his mouth dropped and he flinched at the news.

    “Yes, sir. A long time ago about 24 years ago during the time of the great drought that hit your planet, a Namekian got on a spaceship and escaped to Earth.”

    “Oh yes, I remember now.. It must have been that child of Katatz! He was always doing such weird things...making weird spaceships and talking about destroying life I am surprised however that such a infant could have travelled so far and safely. Why I remember when he grabbed Neris here and-”

    Nail glared at Guru to keep quiet and he changed the subject noticing Nails glare.

    “Er, anyways..that boy was a scion of the Dragon clan.. And a descendant of those capable of making dragonballs. Why Dende and Cargo are also descendants of that clan in fact! But anyways, the one called Krillin.. Why do you speak as though that child died?  Was he killed in battle?”

    “He was killed. Well, technically..he split himself in half and the evil version of him was murdered by a Saiyan named Nappa.And the Good side of him died when Piccolo was killed but… yeah.” Krillin explained still looking directly at Guru’s face. Neris was in the background still clinging to Nail like she hadn’t seen him in ages even though it was literally about 8 hours ago when she left his side, saved Cargo and met Krillin and Gohan.

    “Grandpa...Papa? Why didn;t either of you ever tell me I was a saiyan?” Neris asked.

    “Actually, I have been meaning to ask that myself. Why is there a saiyan here? I mean...I heard from this guy named Raditz Saiyans are sent to other planets to conquer and kill the inhabitants of the planet to sell them for profit. Maybe Neris was sent here the same way?” Krilin asked as well turning towards Nail, “I saw that look you gave Guru when he mentioned Neris.. Did the Namekian that left here to go to Earth do something to her? Perhaps hit her head or something o she lost her memory? The same thing happened to Goku as well when he came to Earth. He’s Gohans ‘papa’” He explained seeing the inquisitive look on Neris face.

    “........Yes..The Namekian named Kamicollo did hit her head..it happened the same day she arrived her in that weird space ship…” Nail looked sad suddenly and looked down at the floor.

    “Huh?” Neris asked surprised. Her bright blue eyes sparkling with wonder.

    “You were crying and I asked Elder Guru what to do with you. Guru suggested we asked Porunga and...he also offered, knowing you were a saiyan that I take you in as my child and raise you to be a great warrior and help me protect Namek because he knew you were a saiyan and they were also a warrior race, just like I was the only warrior on Namek. Anyways, when we brought Porunga out to ask why you were crying he said that you were hungry, that was the first wish we asked him, for the second I asked what was food and what you needed since you were now my responsibility..And for the third and final wish I asked for bottles, since you were so young Porunga said you needed milk and couldn’t eat ‘solids’”

    “Wait, you can get 3 whole wishes here!? HOLY SHIT!! YOUR DRAGONS WAY COOLER THAN THE ONE ON EARTH!”

    “What’s the name of your dragon?” Neris asked.

    “Shenron.” Krillin replied.

    “Shenron?” Neris asked, wondering if he’s also as buff and big looking as Porunga.

    “Anyways, so after finding that out, I took the bottles and borrowed the spaceship Kamicollo was building and took it to find Neris some “milk” to give her. Though of course I had no clue how to drive the thing so I ended up damaging it a little on some asteroids but I made it to a planet somewhat nearby with space cows.”

    “Where was I when you went out? Was I with you papa?”

    “I asked Clarinet to watch over you while I went out. When I returned Kamicollo wasn’t too happy with the spaceship being damaged, in his rage he took you from my arms and smashed your head into a big rock. I suppose that was what altered your memory…”

    Neris pouted covering her head with both hands. “Kamicollo sounds like a big meanie…So that’s why sometimes I feel a little bump here and a scar…”

    “That’s right…” Nail said looking also sad and blaming himself for her getting hurt back then.

    “I wonder if that Saiyan that killed him could have been a Super Saiyan..?” Guru interrupted.

    “What’s a super saiyan? The heck?” Krillin asked confused.

    “The one they call Krillin. Come here by my side please.” Guru says pointing to the ground just to the right of his chair.

    “Huh? Uuuh….okay?” Krilin said, shrugging one shoulder and walking over not breaking eye contact with Guru.

    “I need to confirm everything you’ve said so far and probe your past.”

    “Wh- my past???” Krilin asked as Guru placed his overly large hand on his bald head. Guru sees all that had happened back in OG Dragonball and when Piccolo had killed him and then the news Kami and Piccolo had split himself into two people, and that the current Piccolo was the son of Piccolo Daimao.

    “HMPH!! So he did split himself into two. Once Evil had seeped further into him.. The fool, by splitting himself into two he halved his power! If he were still one being he could have easily killed those saiyans!”

    “O-One..?”

    “Well..” Guru says ignoring Krillin, “It does seem as though your intentions are of pure heart and your courage is very admirable and so I shall entrust you with this dragonball.” Guru says lifting his free hand to pick up the ball just behind his head off its resting spot on the hole of the back of his chair, “You should already know that however, while the villains have the other 6 dragonballs you may not be able to get your wish..”

    “No duh but I mean if we get them all…?” Krillin asks reaching up to retrieve the one-star from Gurus hand.

    “My life, unfortunately will probably last only a few more days...maybe 3 days at the most, so if you want your wish granted you have to make post-haste to gather the rest of the dragonballs from those monsters clutches at all costs..Though..it may be almost impossible, when I die the dragonballs will also disappear…”

    “Y-You can’t Grandpa!!!” Neris pleaded teary-eyed.

    “I see...Don’t worry Elder Guru, even if we can’t  get our wish, I’ll at least make sure to protect this one with my life. I mean, anything's better than letting those guys get immortality!” Krillin said raising his fist as clenching it. “You have my word!”

    “Please do so, I cannot move from this spot..If the one called Frieza should ever come by here, I doubt that even Nail here could protect me…”

    “I’ll protect you Grandpa!! I’ve got a bajillion times stronger since I met Krillin and the others! I won’t let those meanie faces hurt you!!!” Neris pouted more.

    Guru smiled at her,”I know you will my child but perhaps... your protection is needed elsewhere, I want you to stay and help these earthlings protect that dragonball and do whatever you can to help them do you understand?”

    “But-” Neris stuck out her bottom lip almost pleading.

    “Please Neris.. I have your papa to stay and keep me company. These Earthlings have none, they need your help much more than I my child.”

    “Okay Grandpa…” Neris sulked resigned.

    “By the way Krillin, you have extraordinary strength yet untapped. I could awaken your hidden potential for you if you so wish.” Guru smiled for the first time at Krillin.

    “What? Inner strength? I didn’t think I could get any stronger anymore. After all that training I did with Gohan…”

    Guru smiled again placing his hand once more on Krillin’s scalp. Just then, Krillin felt a surge of hot energy rush through his body in an instant filling him with power.

    “There, it is complete. I hope you will be able to escape their clutches earthling.”

    “H-Holy crap this power…. Th-this is...this is…!! THIS IS AWESOOOOOOME!!! I’VE NEVER FELT THIS POWERFUL BEFORE!!!!” Krillin shouted overjoyed, lifting the dragonball over his head excitedly, “I-I feel like I’ve been reborn!! Thank you Elder Guru!!”

    Neris and Nail both smiled at him.

    “Haha I felt that same exact way when Guru awakened mine too, many years ago.” Nail stated.

    “And mine!” Neris grinned flexing her arm.

    “Thats awesome Oh! By the way, could you do this as well with a friend of mine? His names’ Gohan and he’s a saiyan like Neris here! Well he’s half saiyan but…. I mean to say, does this like, shorten your life or anything I mean?” Krillin asks quickly turning to Guru and nearly dropping the ball he was carrying.

    “Don’t worry, this does not endanger my life. I only awoken what was your power to begin with. If there is a power sleeping within, I can awaken it even inside children.”

    “AWESOME!! Then, is it okay I come back here with him?? I’m sure he has way more power than I do!”

    “Bring him here then. We could use all the help we could get!”

    “Thank you Guru, sir! Um, what should I do with this dragonball?”

    “Take it with you. The future of Planet Namek rests on your shoulders..”

    “Alright! Neris let’s go grab Gohan!” Krillin says turning to her.

    “Okay! Love you Papa! Love you Grandpa!” Neris says quickly embracing Nail tightly and flying up to kiss Guru on the cheek. “See you soon!”

    “Stay safe Neris, alright?” Nail tells her.

    “I will!” Neris flies out the door with Krillin far ahead of her.

    “WOOHOO!!! AT THIS RATE NERIS, WE’LL PROBABLY REACH GOHAN IN PROBABLY HALF THE TIME IT TOOK TO GET HERE!!”

    “Yeah!!” Neris grinned. “Hey, I’ll race you?”

    “Oh, you’re ON!!!” Krillin laughed as Neris also began to sped up to full an she and Krillin were side by side racing each other to the island they left Gohan and Bulma at.

   -Meanwhile-

    Gohan stood outside the cave entrance shadow training as he practiced his punches and kicks to pass the time. As Bulma messed with the dragon radar and watching Gohan train she noticed a reading on the radar. “Huh? Hey Gohan come take a look at this!”

    “Wha?” Gohan asks stopping his high-kick in mid air and turning to go over to Bulma’s side.

    “See? Look, it looks like this dragonball has began to move. The one super far away! And it’s heading right to us!”

    “Maybe that’s Neris and Krillin coming back?” Gohan suggested getting on his tiptoes and extending his arms just slightly to the sides like he’s ready to take flight.

    “Maybe so but then..what about this one? There’s another reading with another dragonball all alone not even that far from here!”

    “Oh, yeah! It was...that way right?” Gohan asks pointing in the direction where Vegeta had destroyed a village before.

    “AAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!” Bulma screamed in terror.

    “Vegeta’s not there anymore...maybe he didn’t see the dragonball and just left?”

    “Oh..!” Bulma calmed down punching her open palm, “That must be it!! Maybe one of the Namekians was able to hide the ball while Vegeta was destroying that village! So he never found the thing! And then he must have left it, thinking it was no longer there!!”

    “Hey Bulma! Can I borrow the dragon radar then? I’ll go grab that dragonball! You stay here and wait for Krillin and Neris to come back!!” Gohan extends his hand for the dragonball as he gets ready to fly.

    “YES!! LUCK IS FINALLY TURNING OUR WAY!!” Bulma yells excitedly handing the dragon radar over to him.

    “Woohoo! I don’t feel any evil chi nearby!” Gohan says holding the radar right in front of him as he flies in the direction of the lone dragonball.
