Previously on Dragonball AS:
Krillin and the company finally got their first dragonball! Only for Vegeta to take it from them seconds after. And we finally learned Neris origin story and her true name Argula! Will Gohan come back before Vegeta finds him? Find out now!
Neris stood up still wincing, “Why’d you do that Krillin!? You told Grandpa Guru you’d protect that dragonball with your life and you just up and gave it away?! How could you?” Neris gritted her teeth wanting to punch Krillin as Dende and Cargo held her back. “Now Vegetas’ gonna have all 7 dragonballs and get his wish!! Namek is doomed!”
“He would have killed us anyways. You saw what he did to that guy! And anyways, it’s kinda okay if he has that one…”
“What’re you..?” Neris asked him confused.
“Remember? Gohan left to find another dragonball, the one that Vegeta couldn’t find.Actually, Vegeta HID that ball so Frieza and his men couldn’t find it and get all seven!” Krillin replied.
“Wait, so does that mean Gohan has found the last dragonball then? That’s great! He must be coming back here with it then hopefully!!” Bulma smiled excitedly.
“Yeah.. if he doesn’t run into Vegeta now on his way back.…”
-Meanwhile-
Gohan was heading back to where he left Bulma and the others hen she suddenly felt an evil chi heading towards him, Gohan stops abruptly in midair out of shock, “OH NO! Something’s coming right this way! It’s Vegeta!! Gohan quickly backpedals and flies downward hiding himself behind a small mountain while holding the dragonball in front of his chest and close to his body.
“Eh!?” Vegeta says as he begins to slow down and looks around for the chi signature he felt merely a few seconds ago and had disappeared. “What the- It’s gone? How could it have just vanished, what’s going on?!” Vegeta looks around flying in circles around the vicinity where Gohan was hidden. “It was around here somewhere but where…!?”
‘Please don’t see me, please don’t look this way!’ Gohan pleaded thinking it in his head. He flattened himself against the rock as much as he possibly could trying to will himself to camouflage with the surrounding area.
“SHOW YOURSELF! I KNOW YOU’RE HERE! Show yourself now or I’m going to blow up this entire area!!!” Vegeta shouted loud enough for anyone within 30 miles to hear him.
‘Oh no!!!’ Gohan thought watching Vegeta raise up one arm while moving the dragonball he also held under his armpit and began to gather energy to his palm. “W-WAIT!!!” Gohan said “H-Hang on…!” Gohan knelt down gently placing the dragonball on the ground, ‘Please don’t let him see this…’ Gohan thought before clambering on top of the small hill so Vegeta could see him clearer.
“Ohoho!! Well, well! If it isn’t Kakarots little brat! Long time no see!” Vegeta smirked “I figured I’d be running into you sooner or later, considering I already ran into the bald midget and your other little earthling friends not too long ago!”
Gohans eyes widened finally noticing the dragonball under his arm, “!! D-Don’t tell me..!! That dragonball! Did you kill them!?” Gohan asked alarmed and pointing.
“Hehehe..No, I got it as a gift. I was in a good mood and I let them live.”
“O-Oh..!” Gohan said relieved.
“That’s right! I was in such a good mood.. Now that I have all seven dragonballs.”
Gohan gave him a inquisitive look,confused. He took a glance back at the dragonball directly behind him. “All..?” When Gohan looked back in front of him Vegeta was right there about a foot or less standing in front of him, making Gohan jump.”EEK!”
“What’s that weird device in your hand?” Vegeta asked glaring down at the 5 year old.
“Wh-Wha..?” Gohan asked looking at Vegetas face then the radar, as if forgetting he was still holding it. He covered the interface with his other hand and tried to hide it behind his back. “I-Its a watch!!!”
“Hmph oh, really?”
“Yeah.. it tells time...and nothing else.” Gohan said sweating a little.
“Well no shit. That’s what a watch DOES. Idiot.” Vegeta smirked putting his hand to his hip and tilting his head slightly. “Typical Earthlings, only just smart enough to make a spacecraft to get across space but not smart enough to make a watch any smaller than that! So tell me brat, is that fool of a father you have here too?”
“No! We had no idea we’d be running into big ugly jerks like you!” Gohan spat.
“I see… What a pity.” Vegeta grinned. Vegeta raised his arm that was on his hip as he caressed Gohans cheek pushing the hair off his face. “You know, besides you and I there’s only about 4 other saiyans alive as it is, so brat I want you to tell that coward Kakarot…!” As Vegeta said that last line, he suddenly moved his hand to behind Gohans neck and delivered a powerful knee kick to Gohans stomache, knocking the wind out of the boy.
As Gohan fell to the floor Vegeta lifted his foot, stomping on Gohans head as he grinded him to the ground. “Tell that clown Kakarot the next time I come back to Earth that I’ll be immortal and there won’t be anyone left alive! HAHAHA!!!” Vegeta laughed as he took to the sky again continuing on his merry way.
Gohan smiled as he waited for Vegetas chi to completely disappear from where he could still sense him as he grinned and struggled to get up, “Th..That hurt…! B..But..at least.. He didn’t..take the dragonball...I had!” Gohan laughed as he sat up only to fall backward and hit his head, landing next to the dragonball he stole from where Vegeta had hidden it.
-Back to Krillin and co.-
“Hey Krillin! I’ve packed all of our supplies and returned the house back into its Hoi Poi capsule! We’re ready to go!!” Bulma shouted as she lifted up her backpack. Neris and the two Namekians stood there stunned still in shock after watching the house suddenly vanished and be reduced to a tiny Capsule.”Has Gohan returned yet?!”
“No! Oh man, I hope Vegeta didn’t run into him!!” Krillin said still setting his eyes on the sky and holding onto his own bag and hat. Just then, he felt and sensed Gohans chi coming back as Gohan waved at them as he returned carrying the dragonball.
“Hey guys!!!” Gohan said smiling at them.
“THERE HE IS! AND HE’S GOT A DRAGONBALL!!” Krilin yelled relieved.
Gohan landed as he ran to Krillin waving the dragonball over his head, “Krillin look! I got a dragonball!!”
“Woohoo!! You go dude!!” Krillin grinned laughing, as Bulma, and Neris laughed and jumped happily into the air cheering.
“Listen! Gohan I’ll explain it to you later! But we need to get out of here and fast!” Krillin said suddenly serious.
“I know already Krillin!”
“Wha-?’
“Yeah! Apparently Vegeta hid the dragonball. But I took it and also hid it and he didn’t catch on!”
“G-Geez, man are we lucky or what?!” Krillin laughed worriedly.
“CAN WE JUST GO ALREADY?!” Bulma shouted.
-Elsewhere-
Vegeta was swimming around the lake looking for his dragonball he had hidden. ‘Haha! Once I’ve gathered the dragonball I left here I will have all seven of them! Then all I need to do is summon the dragon aaand- Where’s the ball?’ Vegeta thought looking around and swimming in circles around the area. ‘Okay I’m just going to close my eyes and my dragonball will be right there in front of me! In 3...2….1…’
Vegeta closes his eyes and reopens them again and still didn’t the dragonball. ‘WHAT THE HELL!? I coulda sworn I hid it around here! Wh-’ Vegeta suddenly remembered the giant ‘clock’ in Gohans hands. ‘That wasn’t a fucking clock! That must have been a radar of some sorts!A fucking watch he says…!’ Vegeta flew out of the water in an angry explosion as he flew back to where he left Krillin and the others. “THOSE FUCKING STUPID LITTLE EARTHLINGS!!!! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM THEIR FUCKING DEEEEEEEAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!”
As Vegeta flew the water rushed up behind him leaving a trail of water as he finally arrived back at the island and ran into the cave looking for them. When Vegeta saw no one was in the cave he flew thru the ceiling as the cave exploded into a million pieces like a mini bomb had gone off. Once in the air, he tried to sense them out but he realized they had reduced their chi to zero. “Grrr…! Curse them!! Of course they’d know how to suppress power levels!! Those damned little insects can hide their power all the way to zero!!” Vegeta clenched his fist as he visibly shook with fury, “No matter! They’ll have to come out of hiding soon anyways..They’re bound to come after my other 6 I just need to bide my time and wait them out…”
20 islands away about 50 miles away from where Vegeta was, Neris and the others had successfully hidden themselves in a narrow space between two rocks on another island. Gohan climbed up the rocky wall, poking his head just above the rocks so only his eyes were visible as he glanced around, “ I don’t see anyone nearby! I’m sure Vegeta won’t be able to find us now!” Gohan said turning back to everyone.
Bulma pouted stomping her foot down, “It’s too narrow here to put a house down though! What about a bathroom!? And beds!”
“I’m sorry Bulma but we can’t risk finding a bigger space, I mean perfect caves don’t exactly grow on trees ya know?” Krillin said sitting on a boulder.
“You…! You really expect me to live with you boys alone here..with no bathroom, beds a kitchen….until GOKU GETS HERE?!” Bulma frowned walking up to Krillin with her arms crossed.
“Well the Namekians don’t need to eat, and me and Neris are taking Gohan back to Gurus anyways!”
“Huh? Me? Why?” Gohan asked pointing at himself still on the rock looking out at the ast green sea for anything.
“WAIT YOU’RE LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN!?” Bulma screamed even more angrily.
“It’s just for a little while Bulma, Grandpas gonna make Gohan super strong!” Neris beamed.
“Yeah, it’s just for a little while..! If Elder Guru can tapinto Gohans sleeping energy, there’s a chance he could become twice as strong as Vegeta!” Krillin pointed out confidently.
And so Krillin, Gohan, and Neris took off again towards Elder Gurus while still suppressing their ki down to zero leaving the dragonball Gohan had stolen with Bulma and the Namekian children behind. The trio hopped from one island to the next trying to gain speed as much as they could without being noticed hopefully by Vegeta.
“Geez! I just realized it’s gonna take us forever to get back there going like this! But if we uncork anymore ki out Vegeta will find us!!” Krillin complained flying.
“Hey Neris, do you really think Guru can make me stronger?” Gohan asked Neris turning to her who was flying ahead of Krillin.
“Yeah! He made me stronger, Krillin and Papa!”
“B-But..How do you know I even have enough power sleeping or whatever...inside me to fight Vegeta?” Gohan asked.
“Hey Gohan, if I had THIS much! You gotta have like 3x more than I do. Given your Saiyan dna and all. And the fact that you are Gokus kid.”
“Is this..Goh-ku a meanie face like Vegeta?” Neris asked.
“Nuh uh! He’s one of the good guys like us!” Krillin said looking at her.
“And he’s a Saiyan like me? With a tail?”
“Yup!”
“Oh okay.. I wanna meet him! I hope he’s strong!” Neris smiled.
“He’s way more than just strong, he’s saved the planet twice after all! Once as a kid from Piccolo daimao, and again when he fought the Saiyans Vegeta and that Nappa guy!”
“Piccolo die-mah-oh is the bad guy right? That split from Kamicollo?” Neris asked.
“Yeah- he was the original bad guy. He was the worst he even killed me!” Krillin said suddenly remembering.
“That’s not nice. He’s a meanie head and deserves a spanking!” Neris pouted. “Vegeta and that Nappa guy too!”
“My mom sometimes gives me spanking… they’re not fun..” Gohan said.
“What’s a mom?” Neris asked confused.
“Oh right, I forgot Namekian have only one gender.” Krillin said, “Have you really lived here your whole life? What did you do for fun? Did you have a TV? Or video games or something?”
Neris stared at him blankly not knowing what any of those things were.”Teevee?”
“Oh man.. You really did grow up in the boonies.”
“Um… I liked playing with the kids and playing hide and seek with them or flying around and scaring the Namekians. It was funny! And sometimes when Papa was home he and I would train together, and sometimes big brother Xylo too when Papa left to find food for me.” Neris suddenly looks all sad, remembering almost everyone was dead now, everyone that she knew and loved.
“Don’t worry Neris..We’ll use one of our 3 wishes to bring back all the Namekians killed here for you, as thanks for helping us out and being our friend.” Krillin said flying slightly faster and patting her on the shoulder.
“I’m...your friend?” Neris asked a little surprised.
“Of course you are! You’ve been such a big help to us and your so kind...You should come visit Earth sometime when you can after all of this is over!” Krillin smiled at her.
“I’d like that. Maybe Papa can come too, and Xylo!” Neris smiled happily, “Um, what’s Earth like? They have teevees and stuff.. But I don’t know what it looks like.”
“It’s..a little like Namek. But our grasses are green and the sky is blue. And there are a lot more people like me, and no green people. There’s oceans, and skyscrapers! You’d love it there Neris!”
“Oooh…!” Neris still had no clue what any of those things were, “Wait..the grass is green? And the sky is blue? That’s weird. Everything’s backwards there?” Neris tilted her head in confusion.
‘More like everything’s backwards here…’ Krillin thought.
“Killin is it true we really get three wishes here?” Gohan asked turning his head to him, they were a little more than a quarter of the way there there now.
“Yeah Guru said it himself! Even Neris!”
“Thats awesome!”
“Yeah!”
