I wasn't originally going to add this in as the M-rating should explain it, but this story has this rating for a reason. The reason I'm saying this is because there is a fair bit of gruesome scenes in which Dodoria and Vegeta fight the Namekians. You can skip over it if you wish, but just know that the actual Dragon Ball Z anime (Which I don't own) has many gruesome scenes in general. In the anime, Frieza kills Dende and another Namekian child, tortures Vegeta, tries to drown/choke Goku, and killed Krillin by explosion. A baby gets stabbed for crying out loud! (Broly) So yeah, keep that in mind. And that's not even mentioning the many other gruesome scenes in DBZ in general. Point is, just expect this story to have a mature setting in certain points. I'm not saying the story will constantly revolve around gore, but I feel I can't advance the story without adding in the darker parts as it's also needed to make it complete. This is probably the first and last warning like this I'll give unless I deem otherwise. Anyways, please enjoy the story!

Betrayal

One Week Later, In Space

On board the spaceship, everybody was doing their own thing. Piccolo was training with Gohan and Krillin at the same time, Bulma was reading in her private room, and Naruto was training in the gravitational room.

A flurry of punches were thrown followed up by many kicks which were delivered by Gohan. Piccolo kept dodging and quickly moved away as Krillin appeared besides him. After jumping backwards to create some distance, Piccolo smiled.

"So, is that the best you can do?" asked Piccolo to both earthlings.

"You haven't seen anything yet Mr. Piccolo!"

"Gohan's right, lets get serious!" said Krillin as he powered up.

"Fine, but don't blame me if you get hurt," said Piccolo as he also powered up.

"I'm ready for this!" said Gohan.

Both Krillin and Gohan nodded at each other and began their Ki attacks. Piccolo responded in return.

"DESTRUCTO DISC!"

"MASENKO!"

"MAKANKŌSAPPŌ!"

Everybody hoped that they just didn't blow a hole in the side of the ship.

...

With Naruto

"Alright, so I've adjusted to sixty times Earth's gravity in one week, let's double that!" said Naruto as he breathed heavily.

"I'm *pant* gonna *pant* regret *pant* this."

Naruto had discarded his gi and kept his undershirt on due to the stress of the gravity.

Naruto walked over to the main console, as the X60 Earth's gravity was active, and prepared himself for what he was about to do.

Naruto entered X120 gravity and instantly regretted it.

Besides being under exteme stress and flattening to the ground in a second, he also felt like his body was going to break.

After just mastering X60 gravity, he should've started again at a smaller amount. Or at the very least give his body some rest before going right back at it. Well, it was too late to turn back now.

"KAIO-KEN!"

Sometimes, he was too much of a training nut.

...

With Vegeta and Kara

Deep in space, in a different portion of the galaxy, two space pods had landed on a planet for people serving under Frieza's rule. This included Kara and Vegeta who were both healing in the liquid of the healing pods. They had been in the tanks for the past hour and were almost ready to be released.

"How are they?" said a purple looking alien with the common armor almost every Frieza servant has.

"Considering they fought for their lives and took a week to get here, I'd say okay." replied a creature of the same species but wearing a lab coat to signify it was a scientist.

"Who would've thought that this 'Earth' would've posed such a problem for the 'Prince of all Saiyans'" mocked the alien as he began laughing loudly.

Unknown to him, both Vegeta and Kara heard every word the two spoke and were not pleased in the slightest.

With a quick release of the pod and the fluid leaking, both pod doors opened and out came both full-breed Saiyans, fully rejuvenated.

Without a word being spoken, Vegeta raised his arm, palm facing outwards, and blasted a Ki blast straight through the alien's chest that was bad mouthing his social status.

"A-a-a-a," began stuttering the scientist.

Kara walked up to the other alien, and grabbed his throat and raised him into the air.

The alien began squirming and begging for air. Kara began putting pressure on her hold.

"You have three-no two minutes to tell me where two scouters and two available space pods are before I kill you. Tick-tock."

Kara dropped the alien onto the ground and he stumbled out of the room.

Both Saiyans looked around the room and saw a version of their armor that was new and improved and clearly meant for them when they awoke. With a quick glance and nod to each other, each Saiyan took their respective armor and walked into separate dressing rooms.

Good thing that Kara's armor had her preferred color scheme.

...

At the Landing Dock

Kara shifted and adjusted her brand new scouter on her face. Both her and Vegeta had brand new scouters, armor, and space pods.

Based on her scouter's readings, both her and her uncle have increased tremendously power-level wise. She smiled at the thought.

"Uncle, did you hear that Frieza is planning on using the Dragon Balls on Namek for his own personal wish?"

"Is that so? Well, we'll just have to beat him to it then." smirked Vegeta in return.

"Very well," responded Kara with a smile.

Both Saiyans entered their respective pods and began their trip to Namek.

As they traveled through space, Kara slowly drifted into thought.

Naruto stood over Kara as she had let her guard down and paid for it.

"...don't let your arrogance consume you, you're better than that!...

...this is a senzu bean, it'll completely heal you up!...

... You have potential to become something amazing..."

Kara thought about Naruto's words, even as enemies, he showed her mercy and complimented her potential as a warrior. She even gained a slight blush.

"Is that how you gain strength Naruto? By being kind and protecting the ones you love?" thought Kara.

Of course, nobody responded but Kara thought deeply about it. She hated to admit it, but Naruto was clearly stronger than her in their battle. However, being raised on completely different beliefs caused her old and new morales to clash.

"I look forward to seeing you...

...

...

...

...Naruto."

...

1 More Week Later

"Alright guys, we're going to be in Namek's atmosphere in 24 hours! That means wrap everything up!" shouted Bulma from the main navigating room.

"Got it!" responded Gohan.

Everybody on the ship had increased their power level respectively while on board.

Piccolo was training with Gohan and Krillin for two weeks straight, all three were confident in their skills.

Occasionally, Naruto would join in to spar, which would help all three in their training.

Gohan had a better concentration of Ki for his Masenko blast while Krillin could better control his Kienzan (Destructo Disc) to the point it required less time and less concentration.

Piccolo was able to decrease the charge-up time on his Makankōsappō depending on how much Ki he used. If he used all his Ki on it, around one minute. If he used a partial amount of Ki, around 20 seconds.

Of course, all three increased their reflexes, reaction time, speed, strength, and strategic planning.

This also came along with all three of them having their power level shoot sky-high from what it was previously.

However, while they trained intensely and hard, Naruto trained on a completely other level.

Maybe he his will to protect his friends and family or his will to wake his father fueled him, but either way he became a monster in strength.

Since day one, Naruto trained in the gravity chamber non-stop. Everyday he was pushing himself. You could almost always catch Naruto sweating constantly due to his intense training.

Not only did Naruto adjust to the gravity as the days went on, he increased many of his fighting factors.

Besides the usual strength, speed, etc. Naruto also trained his durability, greatly.

Doing regular physical exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, handstand holds, and even sprinting, were his warm-up exercises.

As the gravity increased, so did his warm-up exercises. After warming up, it was time to increase his reaction time.

Bulma was kind enough to add small robots within the training room in order to push Naruto pass his limit. These robots could be adjusted by Naruto to determine their difficulty. He could adjust their Ki blast time, severity of their attack, or/and amount of robots present.

After the first week of gravity training, Naruto set the robots to their max setting. Thankfully, he survived his encounter.

Once his robot training was done, he would move on to mastering his techniques as well as developing new ones. He loved learning a new technique, especially when he was the one to develop it!

After both weeks, he had increased the Kaio-Ken to X7 for a comfortable level and could go X8 if he wanted to push it.

His Kamehameha required less time to fire, he could now charge it up and fire it within seconds. He could also move the beam in any direction he wanted once fired.

However, while he loved using the Kamehameha, Naruto wanted something similar in fashion as the Kamehameha, but stronger in nature.

While the Kamehameha was amazing and useful and he was certainly not going to stop using it, he wanted to create his own signature Ki blast technique.

Hence the Chōshinsei Shōtotsu (Supernova Collision).

Weirdly enough, while his Kamehameha beam remained blue, his Chōshinsei Shōtotsu was the same color as his ki, a bright red.

In one week, Naruto created, practiced, and mastered his own technique. He had an amazing amount of potential.

Naruto also worked on simply Ki blasts. As the color of his Ki was changing, his red ki felt denser and more concentrated than his ki previously felt. He further advanced this dense amount of Ki by practicing his Ki blasts and now would make his Ki blasts incredibly dense without thinking.

To get an added benefit of training with his techniques, Naruto would launch his blasts and techniques as they would circle back around and explode onto his body. After doing this on day one, he had to consume a Senzu Bean due to the stress his body went through.

However, after launching many attacks onto himself, Naruto could confidently say he could take a lot more damage than he could previously.

By practicing and experimenting with his ki, Naruto was now able to produce Ki blasts from another source besides the palm of his hands.

He could now launch Ki blasts from his mouth and the tips of his fingers. However, he didn't really like launching Ki blasts from his mouth as it felt wierd but at least now he could.

Just like with his regular Ki blasts, Naruto was able to make his Ki blasts from the tips of his fingers and mouth more dense with his instese training. He would now make his attacks more powerful than before unconsciously.

Naruto also realized he needed to make sure he had a large range amount of attacks just in case a situation called for it. So with that in mind, Naruto asked Krillin for help with his Kienzan (Destrcuto Disc) and Taiyōken (Solar Flare).

By giving Naruto tips, advice, and the basics in both techniques, Naruto was able to master both techniques in two weeks. One week for each technique.

Of course, he wasn't able to effectively use the Keinzan in his training room, since it would most likely cut the ship in half and launch him into space. So instead he mastered producing the technique in seconds. He could now easily create the Kienzan which also was red in color like his ki blasts.

To master the Taiyōken, Naruto practiced the technique against his training robots who were surprisingly able to measure the brightness that Naruto produced when using the Taiyōken.

Naruto was actually able to figure out that depending on the amount of ki concentrated in the Taiyōken, the higher amount of light would be produced. He thought it was a bit weird on how that worked, but he assumed if you used more ki, the longer your opponent would be blinded. He also wondered if using the technique by any source of light, like the sun, would possibly increase the effect of the Taiyōken. Oh well, something to figure out later.

Thanks to Krillin, he also learned the technique has one major flaw. The opponent would not be blinded if they had sunglasses on. Naruto theorized if any eyewear could block the effects of the Taiyōken or if it was just sunglasses specifically. Also something to wonder about later on.

After practicing with his Ki blasts and techniques, Naruto would use the traditional weights. From lifting weights to using weighted clothing, Naruto slowly increased the amount of weight he used. In the end, he decided to go with 1,000 pounds in total for his clothing as it became evenly distributed throughout his body.

Afterwards, Naruto would adjust the gravity according to what he thought his body could handle for the next day.

Finally, Naruto would exit the training room, shower, and read the many books he brought from Earth. Each book contained many fighting styles including ancient fighting styles that were not in use nowadays.

Not only would he read on fighting styles and how to counter them, Naruto would also read on strategies used in wars which helped his strategic mind even further. He was usually joined by his brother. As he read to Gohan, he would usually fall asleep in Naruto's lap which required him to take Gohan to his bed.

Naruto also took up meditating as a way to relax and enjoy himself in a calming way. He got the habit from constantly seeing Piccolo doing it.

Strangely enough, he felt himself get 'in tune' with his Ki at random times. Unknowingly to everyone, Naruto's Ki was becoming denser and stronger the more he enlightened and bonded his body and energy together.

At the end of the day for Naruto, he would shower and rest for limited amounts of times.

This entire process was Naruto's training routine every waking moment for two weeks straight. This also all occurred while the gravity was active (unless he exited the training room) and Naruto had his weighted clothing on. All of this put Naruto's power level incredibly high.

Naruto's future enemies would have to be careful because Naruto had a powerful will for training.

Of course, Bulma recorded the results of each day. A few problems occurred that she didn't account for which is why she appreciated Naruto being her guinea pig.

Problems didn't occur often in the training room, but they did appear.

Firstly, the robots assigned to help improve Naruto's training couldn't entirely handle the gravity factor of the training chamber after a certain amount. She sadly overlooked this factor and made sure to fix it in future models.

Secondly, the weights she supplied Naruto with were helpful, but only in the beginning. Once Naruto had surpassed himself in how much weight he could handle, there was not much more of an increase.

She only had weights that reached a maximum of 1,500 pounds and weighted clothing that reached a maximum of 1,000 pounds. However, she was pleased in her own creation as Naruto increased rapidly through her own invention.

For the last few days, Naruto had been training in X300 Earth's gravity!

Suddenly, the group of friends finally reached their destination.

"Hold on to something! We're entering Namek's atmosphere!" shouted Bulma as she tried to keep the ship stable.

The entire spaceship shook violently as it slowly approached Namek.

"We're all gonna die! We're gonna di- *slap*."

"Stop yelling Krillin, we'll be fine. Besides, it's Bulma flying the ship. She'll know what to do," said Gohan as he went back to grabbing his seat.

"Thanks Gohan, I needed that," weakly smiled Krillin.

"Tch," grunted Piccolo in annoyance at Krillin's childish behavior as he remained in a mediative state.

"NEXT STOP, NAMEK!" shouted Bulma cheerfully as tried to steer the ship. Finally, after two straight weeks, they arrived at Namek.

...

On Namek

A peaceful landscape could be seen across the planet known as Namek. The oceans had a greenish color to it with the planet also containing large mountains. The "grass" was blue with there being a fair amount of dirt spots across the land.

The trees seemed to be long and protruding from the ground. The top of the trees seemed to have a bush of grass surrounding that area with it also being blue.

The planet also seemed to have its own civilization with the species being creatures similar in color and stature to Piccolo and Kami. Their homes were white in color and spherical in shape.

Their roofs were oval in shape with protruding white spikes across their homes. There were also green glass panes in random locations across their homes.

Strangely, the species on Namek had similar values of those on Earth. There were elderly people enjoying the sun outside while children laughed and played with one another. Each village had its own unique feel to it with them having their own self-reliance without the help of any outsiders. These were the Namekians.

However, on this specific day, history was in the making.

SWISH!

A large aircraft was sent flying from the sky into a deserted area of Namek. This aircraft happened to carry our protagonist on board.

"OH CRAP WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! THE SHIP IS SHAKING! WE'RE GOING TO EXPLODEEEE!" shouted Krillin as he had a death grip on his armrests.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?! I'M LANDING THIS BABY PERFECTLY!"

A loud, resounding thud was heard as the spacecraft finally made contact with solid earth.

"... almost perfectly," muttered Bulma.

A loud hiss was heard as the floor panel dislodged itself and the group of friends left the spacecraft.

"Wow, so this is Namek!" excitedly exclaimed Gohan.

Gohan had changed his outfit whilst on the spacecraft. He now wore purple pants and a purple shirt along with brown boots. He also wore red wristbands and a white fluffy collar. A red sash was worn around his waist, which was overlayed by his tail. His outfit was heavily influenced by his temporary sensei, Piccolo. He was now six years old!

Krillin wore his usual orange gi, blue undershirt, blue wristbands, a blue training belt, and blue boots.

Piccolo wore a purple shirt and pants along with a light blush sash across his waist. He had brown boots, a white cape, and a turban styled hat with white bandages and a purple cloth underneath. He of course was wearing weighted clothing.

Bulma was wearing black leggings and a long sleeved black shirt which was covered by a bright yellow vest. She had orange boots and a pink headband in her hair.

"Wait, where's Naruto?" asked Krillin.

"*sigh* he probably fell asleep from training too hard again," said Gohan.

"I swear, that boy works too hard sometimes... but I guess Goku was the same way at his age," chuckled Bulma.

"I'll go get him!" said Gohan as he began walking back to the spacecraft.

"Nah, let the kid rest."

"uhh... Yes sir Mr. Piccolo," said Gohan with respect. He was just confused on why Piccolo of all people would let Naruto rest, as was everybody else.

"Well, it'll do us no good if we don't do what we came here for!" Bulma said.

She quickly reached into her back pocket and pulled out a very familiar device, the Dragon Radar!

"Alright let's see.."

With a soft click and a sudden beep, the device began activating.

"Soooo... apparently there's already two Dragon Balls gathered. I don't think this is by coincidence either, I believe someone else is here for the same reason we are." said Bulma with concern.

"Oh no! Is it those Saiyans?" asked Krillin fearfully.

Could you blame him? He didn't want to have another encounter with them if he could avoid it.

"There's no way of telling, but we need to hurry up."

"I agree with the weakling," stated Piccolo with a smirk as Bulma sent him a glare.

"Okay guys, no fighting! Bulma, how far are the nearest Dragon Balls?"

With a quick glance at the Dragon Radar, Bulma came to a conclusion.

"The nearest two Dragon Balls aren't too far from us, the only problem is that they're in completely opposite directions."

"Hmmm... well that does complicate matters as we don't know what to expect from this planet." said Piccolo as he closed his eyes.

"How are we going to do this quickly if we only have one way of finding the Dragon Balls?" asked Gohan.

"That's where I come to save the day again! No need to applaud me!" said Bulma as she reached into her vest pocket.

"Someone has a big ego..." whispered Krillin to himself.

"Aha! I got the scouter off that Raditz guy and tweaked it a little bit so now we can understand the settings to it!" cheered Bulma for her own intelligence. Thankfully, it hadn't been shattered, broken, or cracked with all the turbulence in space.

"Nice job Bulma!" praised Gohan.

"So what's the plan?" asked Krillin.

After a few seconds, Piccolo was the one to speak up.

"I'll take the scouter and go for the farthest of the two Dragon Balls while you and Gohan take the Dragon Radar and go for the nearest of the two Dragon Balls."

"AND WHAT ABOUT ME!" shouted Bulma.

"You can either stay with big bro or find a place to set up our camp," answered Gohan.

"Ugh! Fine! But don't be gone for long!"

"Of course not Bulma. Thanks for this by the way!" said Gohan as he took the Dragon Radar.

Piccolo also grabbed the scouter from Bulma and tried to adjust it to his eye. It felt strange and weird when he put it on but thank goodness it was only temporary.

"Well, it's a little weird with it on my face, but I can work with this. So let's see... the farthest of the two Dragon Balls is around 7,500 miles away. I'll be back later."

With that said, Piccolo was off.

"Alright Bulma, we'll be back soon! See ya!" said Gohan before he quickly blasted off with Krillin by his side.

However, nobody noticed two Saiyan pods entering the atmosphere in the distance.

...

With Gohan and Krillin

As both friends were flying through the sky, they were upcoming upon a mountain in the distance which had a steep cliff overlooking a Namekian village.

"It looks like we're about to see the Dragon Ball up ahead in 10 secon-," whatever Gohan was about to say was cut off as he suddenly froze with fear.

Krillin stopped flying and turned towards Gohan.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Krillin with concern.

"K-k-k-krillin d-d-do y-y-you s-s-sense t-t-t-that power l-l-l-level?" asked Gohan as he was quivering.

Confused, Krillin reached out with his senses and instantly felt what Gohan was talking about.

There was an insane power level ahead of them, just beyond the cliff. It was also surrounded by two smaller, yet strong, power levels and many small power levels which were quickly dropping.

"W-w-we have to get out of here." said Krillin.

"Oi! Do y'all hear that?" said a voice from beyond the cliff.

Acting on instinct, Krillin put his hand over his own mouth and Gohan's mouth as he quickly shrunk his power level along with Gohan. He then grabbed Gohan by his shirt and took them both the the top of the cliff to make sure they don't seem them in the sky.

As they peered over the edge of the mountain, they came to a gruesome site. They were many bodies littering the ground of beings that resembled Piccolo.

Their blood was splattered across the ground and the exterior and interiors of their homes. What seemed like elders and young children, were all slain in cold blood.

The few living members of the village was a presumably old man, possibly the village chief, and two young children.

Across from them, were the monsters they sensed earlier. A pink-colored alien held one Dragon Ball while another green-skinned alien held another.

The pink alien had small bumps on his forehead and arms along with dark blue pants and a green scouter. It also had white boots.

The other alien holding the Dragon Ball has light blue leggings along with light blue undergarments. It also had pink armsleeves, green headband which contained a small pink bead, brown boots, green hair in a ponytail, and a white cape. It also seemed as if it held a sense of nobility and pristine from it's appearance.

The final of the three was holding no Dragon Ball, but held a massive power level.

It was flying in a spacecraft mere feet off the ground, black in color and a white spike at the bottom.

It had arm protectors around its forearms and a scaly like appearance with it having a long tail. It body consisted of many scale-like features, white skin, and purple surfaces. Two black horns were protruding out the sides of its head.

Strangely, all three had the same armor style as the Saiyans who invaded Earth. The pink alien had blue armor, the green alien had white armor, and the lizard like alien had purple armor. Each armor set had brown shoulder guards.

"Nobody said anything Dodoria." said the alien floating in a spacecraft to the pink-colored one.

"Yes sir, my mistake Lord Frieza," responded the now known Dodoria.

"Now back to business, where were we? Ah yes, you give me your village's Dragon Ball and I don't kill the two young, adorable, children behind your legs."

"You sadistic monster!" responded the old Namekian, "You've slaughtered my entire village! How do I know you won't do the same to the children if I give you the Dragon Ball anyway!"

"Well, if you give the me the Dragon Ball now..." suddenly the old Namekian seemed as if he was going to have a heart attack as Frieza gave him a menacing glare, "... I'll be in a better mood to let you live."

With a few seconds of consideration, the elder Namekian went inside his own home and returned with a large Dragon Ball.

"Ahh yes, very good indeed. Zarbon, fetch the Dragon Ball!" commanded Frieza.

"Of course Lord Frieza!"

Before Zarbon could take one step forward, three Namekians appeared in front of the elder Namekian.

"We're here to stop you!" shouted one of them.

"Ughh... just another inconvenient delay in my wish for immortality. Dodoria, would you please do me the honors of slaughtering a few more no-name idiotic, Namekians?" Of course, it was more a demand than a question.

"Certainly Lord Frieza!"

Gently placing the massive Dragon Ball on the ground, Dodoria rushed all three warrior-type Namekians.

In a blink of an eye, Dodoria appeared behind one of the Namekians, placed both hands on the sides of his head, and pulled upwards. Both Krillin and Gohan closed their eyes and in Gohan's case, covered his ears tightly, before they witnessed such brutality.

However, they both heard Frieza's maniacal laughter in the background. Even Gohan heard his laughter while his ears were covered. They both wondered how messed up this guy could be.

Krillin opened his eyes before Gohan and saw all three Namekians laying dead on the ground with each having their own execution.

Besides the Namekian getting his head ripped off, another was split in half from top to bottom in what Krillin assumed Dodoria had simply pierced his hands through the Namekians chest, and pulled apart. The last Namekian had a massive hole in his chest which made him assume Dodoria had stabbed him through the heart with his bare hand.

Both Namekian children had their ears covered and eyes shut the moment they saw Dodoria launch himself at the Namekian warriors. Sadly, the Namekian chief was not so lucky as he witnessed each horrifying detail.

"Dodoria, make sure you clean your mess up," said Frieza with a chuckle.

"How could I forget?" said Dodoria with a smirk. Suddenly he opened his mouth and fired a large Ki blast at the three corpses and smiled.

There was no evidence, not even a single drop of blood, to signify what just happened.

What Krillin didn't notice was Gohan opening his eyes and uncovering his ears at this certain moment.

"*beep* *beep* huh?" said Dodoria as his scouter started beeping rapidly.

"What's wrong Dodoria?" asked Zarbon.

"It seems as if a Dragon Ball a fair distance away is moving, as if somebody is taking it." said Dodoria as he tinkered with his scouter.

"That's Piccolo!" thought both Gohan and Krillin.

"Well, it looks like we know where we're going next." responded Frieza.

"Here take the Dragon Ball and leave my family alone!" said the elder Namekian.

Zarbon walked forwards, snatched the Dragon Ball, and turned around.

The elder Namekian breathed a sigh of relief but didn't notice Zarbon's hidden smirk.

With a quick 180 turn, Zarbon kneed the old Namekian in the stomach which launched him many feet away.

The two Namekian children shouted in concern.

Gohan was shaking in anger, how could someone be so heartless and inconsiderate, especially after they struck an agreement?

One of the children, in a brave move of courage, charged Zarbon head on.

"Oh, how cute? He thinks he can harm me," smiled Zarbon sinisterly.

Quickly putting both Dragon Balls down, Zarbon grabbed the kid by his neck, and pulled him upwards.

"You know, I never really was good with children. My hand may slip and snap your neck by accident."

The child was kicking and struggling while holding Zarbon's hand and trying to swat it away. Gohan's anger was fueled even more.

"Leave him alone!" said the elder Namekian as he quickly fired a ki beam out of his index finger into Zarbon's right eye.

"Agg!" grunted Zarbon as he clutched his eye and fell to one knee.

The child ran back to his relative in a panic.

Dodoria, who was still tinkering with his scouter, quickly set his sights upon the elder Namekian after Zarbon was injured.

Knowing he may not have much longer to live, he wanted to stop these monsters from finding another village of his people so he quickly aimed a second ki beam and shattered Dodoria's scouter. Dodoria was clearly not expecting that and cursed himself for his stupidity.

"Enough!" shouted Frieza already agitated and aimed two fingers at the elder Namekian and ended his life in an instant by firing a Ki blast through his chest.

By now, Gohan was about to lose it, however, he quickly came up with a plan.

"Krillin!" whispered Gohan.

"What?" whispered Krillin in return.

"I have a plan, so basically you..."

...

The situation with the Namekians was not going well.

"Guess who's next?" laughed Frieza.

Nobody was prepared for what happened next.

Gohan flew next to the children and covered their eyes instantly as well as closing his own.

Krillin looked at Frieza in the eyes as he launched his surprise attack.

"Taiyōken! (Solar Flare)"

"Agh!"

"Ugh!"

"Ahh!"

Each of the three aliens were blinded by a bright blast of light. Out of the three, it seemed Frieza was hit the hardest as he was nearly at point-blank range when Krillin fired off his technique.

As they were temporarily blinded, Krillin picked up all three Dragon Balls rather awkwardly and flew in the direction he saw Gohan take the two young kids.

...

With Gohan

"Alright, I know this is a lot to take in right now and is probably confusing, but we're here to help you." said Gohan as he continued to fly at high speeds to get as far away as possible from those monsters.

Both Namekian children looked at each other and one said, "Who are you and what is happening?"

"I'm Gohan, and I promise to explain everything to you later, just point me in the direction of the nearest village."

With a quick nod of understanding, one of the children pointed in a certain direction and Gohan added even more power to get to his location.

...

With Frieza

After around 20 seconds or so, each alien had recovered.

"Zarbon."

"Yes Lord Frieza?"

"Where are the Dragon Balls?"

"Uhhhh... I believ-"

"WHERE ARE THE DRAGON BALLS!" shouted Frieza as he powered up scaring Zarbon and Dodoria to death.

"I don't know Lord Frieza." answered Zarbon with sweat dripping down his forehead. It seemed as if his eye had already healed from the earlier ki beam.

With a few quick breaths and a large sigh, Frieza calmed down.

"Dodoria, Zarbon."

Both aliens straightened out.

"You both have 4 hours to return all three Dragon Balls before I bring in the Ginyu Force and KILL YOU BOTH MYSELF! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" shouted Frieza.

"Yes Lord Frieza," responded both aliens in sync.

"THEN GET TO IT!"

Zarbon and Dodoria went in separate directions to cover more ground.

Meanwhile, Frieza went back to his ship. He had a few calls to make. He was getting his wish and nobody was going to get in his way!

...

With Piccolo

Piccolo quickly landed next to the spacecraft that brought them to the planet in the first place.

Noticing a cave off in the distance, Piccolo entered it and was surprised to find a Capsule Corp. mobile home inside.

The door opened and revealed Bulma who quickly gained a happy expression.

"Oh my gosh! Is that the Dragon Ball? It's so big compared to the ones on Earth!"

"Yeah, but it was quite easy to find. Just sitting at the bottom of a lake, covered under moss, rocks, and layers of sand."

"O yeah, here you go," said Piccolo as he handed back the scouter to Bulma.

"That thing was useful, but I'd rather never use one again. Feels weird."

Bulma simply shrugged.

Hearing two sets of footsteps besides them, Piccolo and Bulma turned around to see Krillin and Gohan while there was a small Namekian child behind them.

"Woah! You guys came back with three Dragon Balls! Soon, we'll be done here and we just arrived!"

"Bulma."

Bulma quickly noticed the serious tone Krillin took and became serious.

"We need to talk."

...

With Naruto

"Ughhh... what happened?"

Naruto had woken up laying down on the floor of the training room and worked out a few kinks in his body and neck.

"Where is everyone?"

Quietly walking out of the training room, Naruto noticed a note on top of the steering console.

Naruto picked up the handwritten note and began reading.

Naruto,

We landed on Namek and noticed you were asleep and decided to let you have your rest. We're collecting the Dragon Balls right now and should be in a nearby cave when you wake up.

Love,

-Bulma

P.S , thanks for being my guinea pig!

Naruto smiled. "So it looks like we're already on track. *sniff* Oh boy do I need a shower."

After taking a quick shower and gathering his clothes, Naruto floated downwards and laid his eyes on Namek's beautiful scenery.

"Wow, this place is amazing!"

Naruto's outift hadn't changed much since his time on Earth. He had black gi pants, a black short sleeved shirt, and black boots with three white lines going up vertically. He also had a white sash across his waist with his tail overlayed on top. He had a light grey training gi on top of his regular clothing. He still had the kanji for four (yon) on the back of his gi. He was now fourteen years old!

After breathing in the planet's air, Naruto noticed the nearby cave and quickly entered by walking inside.

Noticing the Capsule Corp. house inside the cave, Naruto knocked on the door.

Bulma opened the door and instantly smiled upon seeing Naruto.

"Hey guys! Look who it is!"

Everybody turned and saw Naruto.

"Big bro!"

Gohan launched himself and tackled Naruto into a hug. He started sobbing and crying.

"I was so scared!"

Naruto was visibly confused and looked around for answers. Nonetheless, he started comforting his little brother. After kneeling down and ruffling his hair, Gohan slowly calmed down.

"Can you please explain what happened?" asked Naruto softly.

Gohan nodded and dragged Naruto to a nearby table where Krillin was sitting and Piccolo was standing by with his arms crossed. Naruto also noticed a small child that looked like Piccolo sitting next to Krillin.

"Okay, so what happened was..."

...

With Kara and Vegeta

After a few loud pops of their bones cracking, both Saiyans adjusted to standing on solid ground after traveling for a full week nonstop. They had landed around 15 minutes ago and were stretching.

With a few quick movements, both Saiyans activated their respective scouters.

"So it seems like four Dragon Balls are already gathered a long ways away." said Vegeta

"Do you think that's Frieza?"

"No idea, but I'd rather not find out the hard way. Let's go for the other Dragon Balls first and worry about the other ones later." stated Vegeta.

With a quick nod, Kara prepared to launch herself at one of the singular Dragon Balls.

"We'll meet up once the Dragon Balls are gathered and find a place to deposit them so we can gather the others."

After discussing a plan, both Saiyans launched off onto their own direction.

Neither knew Frieza wasn't the one who had the Dragon Balls gathered.

...

With Vegeta

Flying through the sky proved boring for the Prince of All Saiyans. After traveling for around 20 minutes non-stop, Vegeta gained a severe case of boredom. Finally, at last, he found the nearest Dragon Ball.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the person, it was surrounded by a village of Namekians.

After quickly dismounting from the sky and floating downwards, Vegeta slowly walked into the village.

Everyone in the village noticed the newcomer and kept their distance.

"Welcome traveler! How may I help you?" asked a elder Namekian as he walked forwards.

"Let me put it this way, you give me the Dragon Ball right now and you live. Don't, and I kill everyone here. So, it's your choice."

Shocked in surprise, the Namekian was momentarily stunned.

Seeing as he wasn't getting anywhere, Vegeta raised his power level incredibly and then stopped.

"I suggest you hurry up before I slay each and every one of you."

Knowing the Saiyan had the power to kill everybody there, the Namekian walked inside his house and came out with a four-star Dragon Ball ironically enough.

"Here, take it and go!" shouted the village elder.

Smirking, Vegeta walked forwards, snatched the Dragon Ball, and laughed.

"Ahahaha! This is simply too easy!"

To the Namekian's surprise, Vegeta raised his palm outwards and blasted a ki blast through the village elder's chest.

"I said to give me the Dragon Ball right away. If you didn't hesitate maybe you would've lived."

A nearby warrior Namekian heard what Vegeta said and became enraged.

"YOU MONSTER!"

The Namekian rushed Vegeta only for Vegeta to briefly disappear and quickly reappear behind the Namekian.

The Namekian fell forwards without a head.

Vegeta raised the head he had ripped off, and threw it behind him.

"So... who's next?"

Every Namekian rushed him.

...

As the destruction continued, the village soon became rubble.

Every Namekian was slained in brutal ways. The village, which was once a beautiful site, had been reduced to debris.

"Alright, I think I've had my fun."

Quickly flying upwards, Vegeta aimed his palm outwards towards the destroyed village. He intended to leave nothing behind.

"HA!"

With a loud shout, a grand explosion occurred which left nothing but a crater behind. What he didn't notice was that Naruto, Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan had sensed his energy and would now be on guard for his presence.

He also didn't notice that his explosion had gathered the attention of someone nearby.

"Well would you look at that? It seems you have something I want."

"I need to keep my guard up. Learning to sense power levels means nothing if I don't use it." Mentally berated Vegeta as he should've sensed the power level behind him.

Vegeta turned around and saw a smiling Dodoria.

"Ahh, Dodoria! The most useless warrior in Frieza's army! What brings you here?" said Vegeta sarcastically.

"You know why I'm here Vegeta! Give me that Dragon Ball and scouter and I might not tell Frieza where you are!"

Vegeta was momentarily confused until he realized that Dodoria didn't have his scouter, so he wanted his. Vegeta had quickly formed a theory and wanted to see if it had any validation. Laughing loudly, Vegeta took off his scouter.

"Alright here, take it."

Vegeta handed the scouter to Dodoria which he reached outwards for. When his hand was mere inches away, Vegeta threw the scouter into the sky.

Afterwards, Vegeta launched a ki blast at the scouter and destroyed it.

"You fool! Now you're just as lost as us!"

Noticing Dodoria said "us", Vegeta filed that away mentally.

"You know Dodoria, I'm stronger than you. I'm fully capable of ending your existence right now in fact." said Vegeta with a smirk.

"S-s-stop bluffing!" shouted Dodoria as he trembled because Vegeta had been slowly raising his power level.

The instant he felt Vegeta's power surpass his own, Dodoria flew away in a panic.

Throwing the Dragon Ball into the air, Vegeta settled into a familiar stance.

"GALICK GUN FIRE!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

BOOM!

Dodoria had been obliterated completely.

The Dragon Ball coincidentally landed on Vegeta's waiting hand.

"Ahahahahaha!"

After enjoying his victory, Vegeta went straight towards his space pod to pick up his spare scouter. He always brought spares for everything, including his armor. He needed to rely information to Kara. Perhaps they were going to get there wish sooner than they thought.

...

With Kara

Kara had easily gotten to the Dragon Ball but that wasn't the problem. The problem was seeing where it was located.

Inside Frieza's ship.

With a sigh of annoyance, Kara floated downwards and looked for any entrance. Not seeing one, Kara decided to make her own. She slammed through a glass window in order to gain entry.

The structure of Frieza's ship resembled a circle which meant Kara would have a lot of running to do.

Thankfully, the room in which Kara entered was empty. After looking at her surroundings, Kara slowly peeked her head inside the ship's main hallway.

Looking left and right and noticing nobody, Kara began running towards the location of the Dragon Ball.

Hearing a voice inside a nearby room, Kara leaned against the wall.

"Excellent Ginyu, I expect you to arrive within the next 8 hours."

While the time limit may seem a bit extreme, the Ginyu Force was actually a few solar systems away along with other reinforcements Frieza expected.

"Of course Lord Frieza. Do you need anything else?"

"Hmmmm... I would say to bring me the new scouters since we recently lost Dodoria's scouter but thankfully we have a storage room full of spares. I could also take one off of one of my minions if I must." chuckled Frieza.

"Very well Lord Frieza, we are already on our way as we speak."

"Perfect. Both Zarbon and Dodoria failed at keeping three of the Dragon Balls we collected but luckily I have one right behind me as I collected it personally. They are both scattering for the Dragon Balls they lost so expect them if you see them. Once your squad arrives, I expect all of the Dragon Balls at my feet."

"Yes Lord Frieza. It'll be done quickly."

With a nod of confirmation, the link between both parties cut out.

"Appule! Raspberry! Cui!"

Noticing the three soldiers running into the room, Kara suppressed her power level heavily, floated to the roof of the ship, and stayed silent.

All three soldiers saluted.

"Yes Lord Frieza?!"

"You three defend this Dragon Ball while I go out. If this is gone by the time I come back, I'll slaughter you all. Understand?"

Shaking with fear, all three nodded.

"Good."

With that said, Frieza floated into his spacecraft and began floating into the hallway.

Kara noticed this instantly and hoped Frieza didn't notice her presence

Keeping her scouter locked on Frieza's power level, let Kara know once Frieza left the ship. She also sensed his power level but wanted to make sure Frieza left the ship. After around five minutes, Frieza had exited the ship.

Slowly entering the room, Kara could see that all three were facing the opposite direction from her.

"So the Dragon Balls are really important to Frieza huh?" asked Raspberry.

"Of course you idiot! His wish for immortality is everything to him!" yelled Appule.

"If you ask me, that's-"

Suddenly, Raspberry had a hand over his mouth and a Ki blast through his chest.

Cui and Appule were caught off guard and turned around to see Kara smirking.

Before either could scream or alert any nearby soldiers, they were slaughtered within seconds.

Kara had slammed Appule into Cui and blasted a strong Ki blast to obliterate both with one attack.

After the smoke settled, Kara kneeled down and picked up the Dragon Ball. As she admired the magical orb, she suddenly received a call on her scouter from her uncle.

"Hello?" said Kara.

"Kara, meet up with me. I believe Frieza's group may not indeed have the four Dragon Balls gathered. We'll have infiltrate his ship to find out."

"Actually uncle, I'm already in Frieza's ship. One of the Dragon Balls was located in here."

Vegeta smiled, this was turning out better than he thought.

"Well, did you learn anything useful?"

"I did. From overhearing Frieza, apparently..."

Kara proceeded to explain that Frieza had left his ship and contacted the Ginyu Force in order to help get the Dragon Balls. She also let her uncle know that apparently Frieza, Dodoria, and Zarbon had lost track of three Dragon Balls they had somehow.

Kara then let her uncle know that Frieza didn't currently have a scouter and was contemplating on asking Ginyu for some but apparently had a room full of scouters. She finally finished her explanation by saying Dodoria and Zarbon were looking for the Dragon Balls as well as she currently had one in her hands.

Vegeta digested all of the information his niece gave him and formed a plan in his head.

"Okay, I have a plan. I'm going to put the Dragon Ball I have into my space pod and take it to the bottom of a lake so we can hide it from plane view. You destroy the room full of scouters, and take one for yourself if you want, and kill every one of Frieza's minions that have scouters. I want them to be blind going into the search for the Dragon Balls. Destroy Frieza's ship if you must."

Kara smirked, she was already going to do that.

"Afterwards, put the Dragon Ball you have into your own space pod and take it next to mine so we'll have two Dragon Balls hidden from view."

Making sure she was following everything, Kara nodded.

"I'm going after Zarbon, you go after the last singular Dragon Ball even I can see from my location. After I'm down with Zarbon, and you get the Dragon Ball, we'll rendezvous at our space pods. Then, you put your Dragon Ball in your space pod along with the other. From there, we'll both charge the location of the four Dragon Balls and take it by force! After all that, we'll reach IMMORTALITY!"

Kara actually could see how the plan could work and was once again amazed at the tatical mind of her uncle.

"Sounds amazing uncle. I'll carry out my part. Good luck in finding Zarbon."

"Ha, I don't need luck."

With a quick beep, the communication line between both Saiyans cut off.

Kara hid the Dragon Ball in the room she entered from, and ran in the main hallway.

What neither realized was that Frieza had been informing Ginyu of another force coming to Namek right before Kara began eavesdropping.

...

Checking every room was annoying, but after checking 53 rooms, the 54th room held the spare scouters. With a smile, Kara blasted the room with multiple Ki blasts.

Once the smoked cleared, there was nothing left in the room.

She heard many alarms go off and a red color flashed everywhere.

"WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER DETECTED! INTRUDER DETECTED! ALL AVAILABLE UNITS PROCEED TO THE MAINTENANCE STORAGE AREA!"

The message was incredibly loud and annoyed Kara greatly. It looped continuously.

However, this had her desired effect, all of Frieza's soldiers came to her instead of her going to them.

"Freeze! Don't move and surrender! Hands up!"

Kara looked around at saw that she was "surrounded".

With a smile, Kara rushed the closest soldier. It was about to be bloody.

...

Kara floated above Frieza's and held the Dragon Ball in one hand. With her other hand, she aimed a dense Ki blast at Frieza's personal chambers specifically.

With a great explosion, the effected part of the ship began producing smoke and fire.

While Frieza's personal chambers were beyond repair, the rest of the ship was relatively unharmed. Also, the console to fly the ship was located in Frieza's chambers so essentially, Frieza was stuck on Namek.

She wanted to send a message, don't mess with the Saiyans!

After slaughtering every single one of Frieza's footsoldiers and destroying his chambers, Kara launched off towards her space pod.

After a few minutes of flying, she arrived at her personal spacecraft. She noticed a nearby lake and that her uncle's space pod was missing. So it looks like her uncle had already left.

After depositing her space pod next to her uncle's, with both containing one Dragon Ball each, she locked it accordingly and left.

Her next mission, collecting their third Dragon Ball.

...

With Vegeta

Once Vegeta had locked onto Zarbon's power level, he smiled widely.

Slowly gaining speed, Vegeta eventually encountered a humorous site.

Zarbon was floating in the sky and was looking back and forth for any sign of a Dragon Ball.

Wanting to enter with a surprise, Vegeta rushed and instantly reappeared above Zarbon and delivered a double axe handle directly to Zarbon's skull.

After crashing into the ground and slowly recovering his vision, Zarbon smiled upon seeing Vegeta floating downards.

"Nice to see you too, Vegeta."

Zarbon slowly stood up with a few scratches and bruises.

"Cut the chit chat Zarbon, I'm here to finish you off."

"Aw, but what have I done?"

"Simple, you're helping Frieza, which interferes with my wish."

"You'll never get your wish Vegeta. You might as well give me your scouter and run so I don't have to deal with you."

"You want this scouter?" Vegeta pointed to the device on his eye, "then come and get it."

With a snarl, Zarbon rushed Vegeta.

Vegeta kicked Zarbon directly in his face which sent Zarbon flying.

He followed up with this by reappearing behind Zarbon and kicking him upwards.

Zarbon quickly readjusted himself and stopped himself from flying in mid-air.

Looking around for Vegeta and not seeing him, Zarbon grew confused. However, he didn't see a smirking Vegeta behind him.

Vegeta punched Zarbon square in the back, which lurched his chest forward and knocked the wind out of him.

Taking one of his outstretched hands, Vegeta grabbed Zarbon and threw him into a nearby mountain which crashed down upon him.

With a great explosion, Zarbon blasted the many boulders around him.

"ENOUGH!"

Zarbon suddenly transformed into a much different form.

He became much more enlarged which was easily noticed. His arms and legs seemed to grow in size as well as his fqve gaining fat. His body was littered with many dark spots.

"*grunt* this just got a lot harder."

Zarbon rushed Vegeta and landed a strong knee to his stomach. Flying backwards, Zarbon unleashed multiple Ki blasts which required Vegeta to dodge.

Mid-dodge, Zarbon reappeared behind Vegeta and slammed him into the ground by smashing his hands on Vegeta's back.

Slowly pushing the many rocks off of his body, Vegeta stood up. What Vegeta didn't notice in his angered state, was that his scouter had shattered completely in his fall.

"YOU CANNOT BEAT ME, YOU FILTHY BASTARD!"

With anger, Vegeta raised his power level and rushed Zarbon.

...

"Ahh, what have I stumbled upon here?"

While traveling to get a nearby Dragon Ball, Frieza had caught sight of Zarbon battling Vegeta in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it looked like things were coming to a close.

How had he known where the Dragon Ball was? Simple.

He always kept a hidden one in his spacecraft. And it really came in handy sometimes. Vegeta wasn't the only one who carried spare items.

When he first realized the combatants in the battle, he was confident that Zarbon would crush Vegeta, especially after transforming.

And at first, it did seem like Zarbon was winning their battle. But it seemed like Vegeta's battle on Earth had taken his power level much higher than either Frieza or Zarbon had thought.

"If Vegeta's here, then that means that little insufferable, parasite, Kara, is here as well. How interesting."

At first, Frieza didn't see how he could turn this into his favor.

That was until Vegeta decided to let his big mouth talk.

After separating from a exchange of blow, both fighters began speaking.

"Once I'm done with you Zarbon, I'm getting the rest of the Dragon Balls. Immortality will be mine you galactic freak!"

"Oh? And how will you do that if you don't even have one Dragon Ball?"

"You're right, I don't have one Dragon Ball... I have two."

"How did you collect two Dragon Balls on your own? I was with Lord Frieza and we barely managed to capture three?" said Zarbon with genuine curiosity.

"I had somebody helping me, my niece, Kara. After all, we're both going to be making our wish. It's only fair she gets to have a role in collecting the magical orbs."

"Of course you need help, you can't ever do things by yourself, can you Vegeta?"

Angered, Vegeta resumed his battle with the transformed alien.

"Ohohoho! This little Saiyan monkey and his filthy accomplice know the location of two Dragon Balls? Very interesting indeed."

Frieza continued watching their battle until Vegeta charged up and slammed his right hand into Zarbon's stomach, breaking through his armor quite easily.

Momentarily stunned, Zarbon stayed completely still from shock. Flying backwards, vegeta prepared his final attack.

" GALICK-"

"No wait Vegeta! I can help yo-"

"-GUN!"

BOOM!

Just like that, Zarbon was no more.

Seeing an opportunity as Vegeta was weakened and panting, Frieza disappeared in a burst of speed and chopped Vegeta on the back of the neck.

He had an amazing idea, why chase after the Dragon Balls when they can come to him?

He placed Vegeta inside his mobile spacecraft and began his journey back to his ship.

He loved it when things went his way!

...

With Naruto

As Naruto soared through the sky, he contemplated everything Gohan had told him.

Apparently they was this guy named Frieza on Namek and he had his own military force.

The two known as Dodoria and Zarbon had committed atrocious acts in front of his little brother. While Gohan may not have seen the slaughter occur, he knew a small piece of his innocence had been taken.

Naruto hated himself for that, by overtraining, he hadn't been there for his sibling. He promised himself he would be there for his family from now on, even if it meant taking breaks in-between training sessions.

There was also a race like Piccolo on Namek called Namekians.

This is what the little boy, Dende, was. After saving Dende and another child from Frieza's clutches, they had traveled to a nearby Namekian village to explain the situation to the village chief.

Dende however, wanted to stay with Gohan and Krillin while the other child wished to remain in the village.

Frieza also wanting the Dragon Balls complicated matters greatly. With him also sensing Vegeta slaughter a Namekian village, that also meant Kara was here as well. Whether they worked for Frieza or not, this was going to be difficult.

Thankfully, while on the subject of the Dragon Balls, Dende had spoken up and said they could only summon their dragon in the Namekian language.

With that knowledge, they now knew they needed Dende if they wanted to get their wish.

Dende also explained that he was a healer, which was a good thing to know heading into the future.

Naruto was not a fool. He knew people, possibly stronger than him, would soon come for there stash of Dragon Balls. With that in mind, they decided to collect them all as soon as possible. Which is why he was heading to a nearby lone Dragon Ball.

After all that Gohan and Krillin went through, he refused to let them go with him unless the situation called for it. He couldn't really tell Krillin what to do, but he ordered Gohan to not leave the Capsule Corp home unless he absolutely needed to. His decision was also backed by everyone there, excluding Dende.

Naruto was so lost in thought, he nearly passed the location of the Dragon Ball. Bulma had given him the Dragon Radar so he could collect the rest of the Dragon Balls while everyone else waited.

The reasoning behind this was that everybody had done their fair share and now it was his turn.

"Is this what a Namekian house looks like?"

Naruto had stumbled across a white dome-like structure atop a mountain. He could sense two power levels inside which made him wonder what this place was. Nonetheless, he flew to the entrance and began walking inside.

"Halt right there!"

Suddenly, a Namekian which had a striking resemblance to Piccolo appeared from around the corner.

"What is an outsider like you doing here?"

"Uhh... oh sorry! I'm here for the Dragon Ball." responded Naruto.

"You dare enter this sacred ground and demand the Dragon Ball?! How disrespectful!"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to sound disrespectful!" Naruto bowed to show his forgiveness. "My name is Naruto, how about a fresh start?"

"Tch. Like I care what your name is. You've already shown disregard for Namek's grand elder. Walking in and demanding a sacred object like a barbarian!"

"Nail, enough!"

With a shocked expression, the Namekian now known as Nail stopped talking.

"Forgive me Grand Elder Guru."

"Let the outsider in, I can sense good intentions from him. You've been rude to him enough."

"Very well."

With great reluctance, Nail moved aside to give Naruto enough room to walk forwards.

In a small whisper, Naruto spoke as he passed Nail.

"Sorry about this, and thank you."

Turning a corner and walking forwards, Naruto came face to face with large Namekian sitting upon a throne-like chair.

The Namekian wore a white cloth along with a red scarf and brown vest. The white cloth was long enough to cover his entire bodu. Above his head, was a one-star Dragon Ball.

Naruto bowed and began speaking.

"It's a great honor in being able to pass through the entrance."

The Namekian let out a hearty laugh at Naruto's response.

"Don't lie to yourself boy, manners don't suit one such as yourself."

Naruto blushed in embarrassment for a few moments and then smiled.

With a jump and shout, Naruto began speaking.

"Thanks old man!" Naruto gave Grand Elder Guru a thumbs up, "I was sweating bullets trying to be all polite."

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH!" shouted Nail in anger.

"Quiet down Nail. It's refreshing honestly seeing someone as our outsider here. Naruto was it?"

Naruto nodded, "Yes Grand Elder Guru."

"Please, call me Guru. What is it you're here for?"

Despite already having an idea on why Naruto was there, he let Naruto explain himself.

"I'm here with my friends and brother in order to collect the Dragon Balls."

"Hmmm... what would your wish be?"

"I'm here to wake up my father. You see, we had a battle that decided the fate of my planet recently and my father who helped in the battle, may never wake again."

Guru digested the information and came to a conclusion, however, he wanted to gain as much information as possible.

"Who were you're enemies?"

"The same people here on Namek, Vegeta and Kara."

Guru chuckled in amusement.

"How amusing, it's as if fate brought everybody to my home world."

"No offense old man, but fate's what you want it to be."

"YOU WILL ADDRESS HIM AS GRAND ELDER GURU!" interjected Nail as he looked ready to strike.

Funny enough, it seemed as if Guru ignored him.

"Ahh, a defiant one. Good. Don't let words such as 'destiny' hold you down young warrior."

"I'll keep that in mind old man!"

Nail looked ready to explode from anger but Guru silenced him with a certain look.

"Naruto, why do you fight?"

"Uhh... I'm sorry?" said Naruto confusingly.

"Please excuse my rudeness, but why does one such as yourself fight? What gives you your determination?"

Naruto thought long and hard about it, and eventually produced an answer.

"At first, I just wanted to be like my father as well as fight for fun. In a way, I don't think that'll ever leave me, BUT, I think I've gained a new perspective on it. Now, I grow stronger and fight to protect my loved ones from anybody that threatens them. I don't think I ever truly fight by myself, because, I'll always have others with me in my heart."

Nail was stunned on such a response, how could a young kid think of an answer like that?

Guru however, smiled.

"Naruto, would you please walk to my right side?"

Naruto nodded and walked next to Guru.

Guru reached one hand above his head and grabbed the Dragon Ball. He brought his hand down and presented the magical orb to Naruto.

"Here you go young warrior."

Nail was completely flabbergasted, but for now he would keep his mouth shut.He would ask about the decision later on.

"Thanks old man! I really appreciate it!"

With a large smile, Naruto gentley took the orb from the elder Namekian's waiting hand.

"Be careful, I sense a great evil on Namek and his intentions reek of something sinister."

Somehow, Naruto knew he spoke of Frieza.

After a few moments of thought, Guru gave a life-altering offer.

"Naruto, I have a proposition for you. How would you like unlocking your potential?"

Not knowing what that meant, Naruto asked for clarification.

"I have the power to unlock the potential of whoever I chose. I offer the same thing to you."

Taking a few seconds to think about it, Naruto agreed.

Guru lowered his hand and placed his palm on top of Naruto's head.

Without any words being said, Guru began "unlocking" Naruto's potential.

WHOOSH!

A massive surge of energy erupted around Naruto. His black ki flared up and enveloped his entire body.

"What is this power? This isn't even him powering up on his own. Just purely potential!" thought Nail as he had to plant his feet and block his face with his arms to avoid getting blown backwards.

Guru was strangely unaffected and kept the technique going.

...

With Bulma and Friends

As the friends were chatting, a sudden power level was felt.

Even Bulma, who couldn't feel power levels, could sense it was something relating to Naruto on a personal level.

"Woah, that's Naruto? He's definitely done some serious training!" thought Krillin in amazement.

"Tch. That kid really is Goku's son. Who'd think his power would be this high?" thought Piccolo thoroughly stunned.

"This is the one known as Naruto. He's incredibly powerful," thought Dende.

"Big bro is really strong! I wonder what's going on for him to react like this?" thought Gohan curiously.

Everyone was certainly curious on what was going on.

...

With Frieza

Frieza stared into the healing pod that contained vegeta's clothed healing body.

After knocking Vegeta out, he planned on getting a Dragon Ball somehow, someway.

Suddenly, his scouter began beeping rapidly. Before the number reached an end, his scouter exploded which momentarily made him flinch.

"What in the world was that? The scouter couldn't even get a read on whoever's power level that was... so another player has entered the game," thought Frieza darkly.

"Oh well, the scouter already served it's purpose."

Frieza looked over through an open window and noticed multiple space pods landing in the distance.

"Excellent, so my minions have arrived. My wish for immortality is in sight! Such a pity the filthy monkey under my command defected. Oh well, at least their betrayal will bring results!" Frieza smirked and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Ahahahahaha-AHAHAAHAAHA!"

His laughs echoed off the walls in his spaceship.

...

Back with Naruto

Suddenly, the surge of power was gone. Before he could enjoy his new experience, he heard a loud laughter come from beside him.

"Uhhhh... is something funny old man?"

"Believe it or not, I was not able to fully unlock everything I saw simply because you held too much 'potential'. However, I was able to unlock something major within yourself. You can continue training and working hard to unlock everything else yourself."

Naruto was listening somewhat and was more interested in moving around and exploring what felt like his new power.

"In a way, my technique was simply a catalyst to something great within yourself."

Nodding to Guru, Naruto turned to leave. He looked over his shoulder and spoke a few more words to the elder Namekian.

"Thanks old man! I feel amazing! And don't worry, I won't let you down!"

With that said, Naruto blasted off into the bright sky.

"Not many warriors have such a pure heart like himself. Quite ironic considering he's a Saiyan."

Taking a look outside, Guru gazed upon his home planet's beautiful landscapes.

"Grand elder, why did you offer the the outsider our precious Dragon Ball?" asked Nail genuinely curious.

"When you reach my age Nail, you learn a lot of things," began Guru, there are very, VERY, few people who give off the same energy as that young lad."

"I-I understand Lord Guru, but why give him the Dragon Ball?"

"You'll eventually learn this Nail, but there are some things greater than yourself. Not only did I want to help his cause, but by giving him our Dragon Ball willing, I'm placing the fate of Namek on his shoulders. It may seem selfish of myself, but the young warrior, while he may not show it, understands as well as I do. I trust him to make the right choices, for himself, and our people as well."

"Grand elder... am I that blind that I didn't see that with my own eyes? With you placing your trust in him so confidently... so will I."

Guru went deep into thought.

"Stay strong young one, for you have yet to face such a great evil."

...

With Kara

Currently, Kara was getting demolished in a battle.

What was happening?

Let's go back 15 minutes.

Well, when she flew off in the direction of the Dragon Ball, which was Elder Guru's home, she suddenly sensed a great power level following her.

By stopping and turning around, she came face to face with one of Frieza's minions, Tagoma. However, he wasn't just a lowly minion, he was Frieza's bodyguard.

"How did you find me Tagoma? In fact, what are you even doing here?"

Kara had only ever seen Tagoma a few times when they both were stationed at the same planet. Even then, it had been brief glances and miniscule amounts of dialogue.

Tagoma had a light shade of purple skin and a bald head. He wore a blue scouter, black armor armbands, red leggings, and the same type of armor as Frieza's army.

His armor and boots were a combination of lime green and black.

"Well, Frieza specifically called on me to assist him in his dream to become immortal. In return, I gain a higher status in Frieza's army. He wanted to make sure nobody was going to stop him from getting his wish. Therefore, he brought reinforcements."

"That's great and all, but that doesn't explain how you found me."

"Well, I was resting inside Frieza's ship, and guess who I find? Nobody else but Vegeta's lost puppy."

Kara snorted. "That's rich coming from Frieza's lapdog."

"However, why didn't my scouter register your power level?"

"Also, why didn't I sense his power level?" Kara thought.

Tagoma smirked. "Silly little monkey, I can suppress my power level to nothing if I so wish!"

"W-what?! To nothing?! That's unheard of!"

Shaking off her confusion, Kara remembered something Tagoma mentioned earlier.

"Reinforcements?"

"Of course, you don't think Lord Frieza would take something so seriously such as getting his wish so lightly? He's brought in the Ginyu Force and the duo, Abo and Cado."

"Frieza did all this? I can't compete against all this, even with uncle's help. What do I do?"

Deciding to worry about this later, Kara settled herself into a fighting stance.

Noticing this, Tagoma smiled.

"Finally, some action!"

...

Throughout their fight, Kara seemed to be keeping up with Frieza's bodyguard. While she struggled, Tagoma didn't seem to be landing any decisive blows. Soon, two complications arose. Mid-fight, Kara received a message on her scouter from Frieza. It simply showed her uncle in a healing pod and Frieza stating he wanted their Dragon Balls in the next 5 hours or Vegeta would be executed.

Not only did this distract Kara momentarily, but both opponents stopped fighting when a power level in the distance sharply rose.

"Interesting, I'll have to check that out after I'm done here." Thought Tagoma.

"That power level, it feels familiar. Is that you... Naruto?" Kara thought as her scouter exploded.

This was around the time Tagoma decided to end their battle. He stated he wasn't even fighting at his full power. Once fully powering up, Kara cursed her luck. She had to begrudgingly agree that Tagoma was out of her league.

In just one minute after powering up, Tagoma had outclassed Kara to the point she was on her last legs.

Now, onto the present!

Currently, Kara was in a kneeling position while holding her left arm which had gone numb during her fight. Her armor was badly damaged and blood was running down the sides of her lips.

"*pant* *pant* is that all you got?" asked Kara asked in defiance.

Tagoma had his palm outwards facing Kara's forehead and a ki blast mere inches away.

"Dammit! Am I really so weak that I lose as soon as a challenge arises?"

"How disappointing, I expected more from an 'elite Saiyan' " mocked Tagoma.

Kara gritted her teeth.

"Oh well, begone monkey!"

Even as she may have faced death, Kara stared unflinchingly at Tagoma, showing her warrior spirit.

However, luck was on Kara's side today as she wouldn't face death at this moment.

Before Tagoma finished her off, something slammed into the ground between both opponents. When the dust cleared, Tagoma was visibly confused.

Sitting in front of him, was a one-star Dragon Ball.

"What th-"

SLAM!

WHOOSH!

Tagoma was speaking one moment and slammed into multiple mountains the next.

Kara recognized her savior, Naruto.

Naruto had suddenly appeared and used Tagoma's face as a springboard. By launching himself with both legs extended, Naruto had essentially made himself a make-shift trampoline.

Doing a quick backflip, Naruto softly landed on the ground.

Turning around, he addressed Kara.

"Hey princess! Needed my help I see." teased Naruto with a smirk.

Kara gained a shade of red on her cheeks, and lost her temper.

"YOU THINK I NEEDED YOUR HELP! I WAS PERFECTLY FINE! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING PRINCESS!"

Naruto just nervously chuckled at her reaction. However, on the inside, he was currently thinking on what had just occurred.

"Judging by her injuries, this guy is no pushover."

Naruto surveyed the damage he had caused from his kick.

"He flew through so many mountains, and I actually created a small crater from the point of impact." thought Naruto as he looked a the ground and saw a somewhat deep crater.

He knew it wasn't from the Dragon Ball because the Dragon Ball had caved into the ground was was currently sitting in a pocket of earth.

"The strange thing however... is that I didn't put much power behind that. I fully expected him to merely skid backwards, not go flying."

Looking at his hands, Naruto thought, "Is this what getting my 'potential' unlocked did?"

"OI! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME! YOU BETTER NOT BE IGNORING ME!"

Quickly snapping out of it, Naruto nervously scratched the back of his head.

"O-of course not! I was paying attention to ever single word!" said Naruto as he began sweating bullets.

If this is how his mother was when she was angry, he had a newfound respect for his father. Women could be scary when they wanted to be!

Kara huffed in "annoyance", however, she secretely had a smirk. After going through that battle, it felt nice to have a sense of familiarity, no matter how small it may be.

While she may not have been friends with the earthling, she could appreciate his help, even though she may never show it.

"Don't think this makes us friends or that I owe you one!" said Kara.

"Wouldn't dream of it!" responded Naruto with a smile.

Before their banter could continue, both Saiyans tensed as they felt a power level approaching.

Tagoma suddenly appeared a few meters away from the Saiyan warriors and looked disheveled.

His scouter was destroyed and was covered in scratches, dirt, and dust. A few cuts were around his face and his lip was bleeding. He also completely lost his right shoulder guard.

"You know," started Tagoma as he cracked his neck, "I usually enjoy messing with my prey before I eliminate them."

After a few stretches, Tagoma looked directly at Naruto.

"But with you... I HAVE A CHALLENGE!" This was followed up by him powering up to his max from the beginning.

"Kara stay out of this!" said Naruto seriously as he kept his eyes on Tagoma.

"What? No!? I can still fight and last time I checked, you don't have the right to boss me around!" said Kara as she struggled to stand up due to her numerous injuries.

Naruto looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Kara wince in pain as she tried to stand.

"Really?" said Naruto as he prepared to launch himself at Tagoma. "I didn't think you would want to sully your hands with this weakling. I didn't even think he was worth your time."

Kara paused at his comments and nodded.

"I guess you're right, just don't expect my help if you start losing"

While Kara wouldn't stop fighting if it meant she was injured, she could agree with Naruto's "logic". Even though Tagoma was clearly winning their earlier battle.

With enough talk, said, Naruto and Tagoma launched at each other.

Naruto swiftly dodged Tagoma's punch aimed at his head by ducking and launched a kick into Tagoma's stomach which sent him flying.

Kara was a witness to every action taken within the battle.

...

Naruto was feeling amazing while he fought Tagoma, almost like he could accomplish anything with his newfound power!

However, towards the end of a quick exchange of blows, which Naruto didn't feel if he was honest, Naruto sensed multiple high power levels entering Namek's atmosphere.

"More of Frieza's goons?" thought Naruto as he slammed his fist into Tagoma's jaw and sent him on a one-way trip to the ground.

"I need to end this now." thought Naruto in preparation for his last attack.

While Naruto loved practicing Ki attacks and techniques, he also developed some physical combos which involved martial arts. His father's Meteo Konbinēshon (Meteor Combination) was a good example of this.

He trained incredibly hard while on the way to Namek so he was enjoying the results of it right now! He learned so many new Ki techniques and fighting styles because he wanted to keep a wide variety of attacks in his arsenal. The wider the range, the better he is. He also wanted to see if he could use some basics of certain techniques and apply them to create new ones. But, that was an idea for the future.

Preparing his rush attack, Naruto waited for Tagoma to stand. Once he did, Narito flashed in a burst of speed directly in front of him. However, Naruto was in a crouching position. Once Tagoma looked downwards in shock, it was over for him. He had locked onto Naruto's form while he was in mid-transition.

Finally, Naruto was able to try his own personalized rush attack on somebody! All that reading he did on multiple martial arts really helped.

His attack? Well, it's the...

Kurouzu-Dan no Uzu! (Maelstorm Swirl!)

He thought the attack would go great with his namesake, so he named it after himself somewhat. Nonetheless, it was devastating.

Naruto had done a clean leg sweep which carried so much force, that it actually put Tagoma in a cartwheel position. Hence, the swirl part of the name.

Before Tagoma could get his bearings and stop spinning in mid-air, Naruto followed up with a open palm to Tagoma's mid-section. The force sent Tagoma flying backwards, and spinning at the same time. This was followed up by Naruto landing multiple blows and punches to Tagoma's flying form, which only added more force behind his velocity.

"Gah!" A blob of spit launched out of Tagoma's mouth. He was extremely disoriented, confused, and in pain as Naruto continued his rush attack. He had no idea what was going on.

Unknown to him, that was the point of Naruto's attack. He aimed to disorientate his opponent before they realized what was going on.

Quickly dashing behind him, Naruto kicked Tagoma upwards and appeared above him and connected a double axe handle.

As Tagoma was sinking downwards rapidly, Naruto wasn't done.

He flashed in front of Tagoma's upside down form and delivered a massive kick to his chest when he was a few feet away from making contact with the ground.

This resulted in Tagoma landing a few miles away.

"Ooh..." moaned an extremely pained Tagoma. Not only did he just endure a rush attack, but he collided with a few mountains along his trip.

Naruto appeared a few hundred feet in the air and prepared his last attack. He was originally going to make his own Ki technique, but decided to honor his father by using his signature attack.

"I better not put to much power into this. I only want him unconscious, not dead."

While this was happening, Kara was in her own thoughts.

"Naruto's completely outclassing Tagoma, and he's not even at full power. If anything, he's holding back while Tagoma's at full power. The only advantage Tagoma has over Naruto is experience, which is the only reason he hasn't been knocked unconscious yet. Yet, even that won't keep him up for long with such a gap in power"

If kara was in her right mind, perhaps she would've taken the Dragon Ball and ran, but her instincts and blood demanded she she the outcome of the battle. If only to sate her pride.

"In the short time we've fought, he's gotten this much stronger. How did he do it?"

It was around this time Naruto commenced his Kurouzu-Dan no Uzu.

"The way he battles, with so much confidence and power, is he the Legendary...

"... Super Saiyan?" thought Kara accidentally out loud.

Naruto was actually able to hear her and wanted to question her on what a Super Saiyan was but held off on it for now.

Kara on the other hand was clueless to this.

The words that Naruto spoke to her on Earth were floating around in her head.

"Do you get your strength from your loved ones? To protect those precious to you, is that how you got so strong?"

At first, on Earth, Kara would consider his words but didn't really expect to change her beliefs or outlook on life. However, after begrudgingly losing to Naruto... twice, she could respect his strength. While she could ignore his reason for fighting, she could respect his strength.

"To think, I nearly lost my life just to be saved..."

Kara chuckled ironically.

"... I'll think about changing now."

Kara was cut out of her thoughts when she saw Naruto fly a few miles in the distance to catch up to Tagoma's prone form.

She flew nearby and saw Naruto floating in the sky, and cupping his hands near his waist.

"KA-ME-HA-ME..."

Naruto thrusted his hands forwards

"HAAAAA!"

As the beam connected, a grand explosion occurred which shook the ground.

Kara gained a blush and thought about Naruto's complete domination over Tagoma. Because, as much as she might resist it, Naruto was pretty handsome in her opinion and her Saiyan instincts could agree with her.

When the rubble subsided and the dust settled, the only thing left was an unconscious Tagoma.

Kara slowly floated over to Tagoma and looked silently at his unconscious body.

Naruto softly landed besides her.

"Kara, don't do it. I know you may want to kill him, but be better than that."

"Tell me Naruto, would you want revenge on somebody who humiliated you in battle?"

Naruto nodded. "Of course, but Tagoma can't defend himself. I thought you only wanted a good fight. Tagoma can't fight back."

Kara could see Naruto's reasoning, but the main reason she didn't kill Tagoma was because she truly wanted to change and give Naruto's beliefs a try. If she didn't like it, she would go back to viewing things as she did in her upbringing.

If ever asked why, Kara would say she simply wanted to gain the same strength as Naruto. However, if she was honest with herself, she owed Naruto one for saving her and letting her live after their first two encounters. And a Saiyan elite never left a debt unpaid!

"Hmph. So be it."

"Thanks Kara."

As Naruto prepared to fly away, Kara stopped him even though she really didn't want to do what she was about to do.

Regrettably, she swallowed her pride.

"Wait!"

Naruto turned around, confused.

"Yes?"

"...*sigh* Ineedyourhelp" yipped Kara quickly.

"Uhhh... what?"

"Ineedyourhelp."

"... I don't understan-"

"I NEED YOUR HELP, DAMMIT! OK!" shouted Kara with a heated temper.

"Yes ma'am!" straightened up Naruto comically.

Despite not being in a good mood, she cracked a smile.

Noticing this, Naruto also smiled.

Their was a comfortable silence for a few seconds.

Suddenly, Kara fell forwards with a grunt.

Naruto quickly flew forwards and caught her.

"Kara!"

He noticed her multiple injuries and realized they only got worse as they were not treated. He cursed himself for never thinking about something such as healing as he was always focused on Ki techniques and physical strength.

He didn't have any Senzu Beans on himself as they were all back with Krillin in the Capsule Home.

"Oi!" protested Kara with a blush as Naruto picked her up bridal style.

"Put me down!" began Kara as Naruto began flying, "I'm no damsel in distress! Besides, I'm useless in this position!"

Quickly, Naruto floated back down, and scooped up the Dragon Ball with his foot and kicked it upwards. Coincidentally, the magical orb landed on Kara's stomach.

"Now you can keep the Dragon Ball safe while we travel!"

Kara grumbled, but nonetheless secured the Dragon Ball by wrapping her arms around it.

She just hoped Naruto didn't notice her blush!

Ohhhhh, boy was this a long chapter. This chapter is my longest one so far, being around 15k. Hopefully, it was worth the wait. Sorry for taking forever!

I said this earlier in the story, but the power levels are a bit from the different from the anime. The reason for this is because I wanted power boosts to look more realistic. For example, Piccolo went from not even being in the 100k power level range, to being able to keep up with a transformed Frieza. I mean yeah, since he fused with Nail, he gained like 100X boost but whatever...

Basically, I just wanted Naruto to stay within reasonable range to keep up with Frieza. Also, I'm wondering on if changing the usual yellow glow of a Super Saiyan to a different color. Let me know if I should keep the regular blonde look or choose a different color instead.

I don't know if anybody picked up the small things in the chapter but I'll point them out just to clarify. I know this version of Naruto isn't born in the shinobi world so some people may get confused on the crossover section of the story, but my intentions are to create a story that would represent if Naruto grew up in the DBZ universe. Things like Naruto saying fate is crap and is whatever you make it out to be, happened somewhat when he spoke to Guru. Another small detail is when he did his rush attack and made Tagoma swirl, kinda like the swirling effect his Rasengan had on enemies.

If you're mad or annoyed that Naruto may seem unstoppable so far, don't worry. He's not going to to be straight up god-like or "op" without earning through each fight he goes through. As they say, even in defeat, there is a lesson.

The main focus of this chapter for me was of course, progressing the story, and having character development. If you think Kara changing is happening rather quickly, I sorta based it off how Vegeta had already somewhat become friendly with Goku after the Ginyu fight.

As for the single pairing or harem decision, I've decided to speed it up. I'm going to decide by the end of the Namek saga. The sooner the better because I have a whole range and variety of women Naruto could be paired up with. If the single pairing is the most dominant review, the the pairing will most likely be with Kara. For right now, the majority I believe, is a harem decision. Nonetheless, it could be changed or not.

I wanted to point out that the Ki techniques and rush attack names I have to come up with are not easy! so, shout out to anybody that creates signature names for attacks because it is not easy to do! Please tell me what you think about the names I've created and whether they're good or not, thanks!

If anybody is wondering, Naruto is beyond planetary level and is solar system busting level right now, BUT, doesn't have any current attacks that'll help him do so. Just wanted to point that out for those who care.

Naruto's constant "potential" being considered "limitless" can be frustrating, but Saiyans in general have great amounts of potential. I believe it was stated somewhere that there own limits, is their own imagination. But I have an example if you don't believe me. Goku, who was born with a power level of 2, is now on par with Gods of Destruction. Not to mention he has UI. Point is, Naruto is a special case, because he has his race's vast potential, plus his own individual potential if that makes any sense. Also, Vegeta and Kara's "arrival on Namek" description for their power levels refers to their power level AFTER receiving their Zenkai boost from their battle on Earth.

Anybody else who is disappointed that Goku isn't involved more, I plan to change that in future chapters. Sure he may not have main character status, but that doesn't mean he won't be around. I plan to do A LOT of character development with him to the point it may change his character from the anime but I don't care. This is Fanfiction for the reason you can make your own story, and that's how I want Goku to be in mine.

I know Tagoma, Abo and Kado appear much later into the series, but I wanted them to appear earlier than in the anime just to show that Frieza is incredibly serious about his wish to the point he would take no chances for failure. I might do something with Tarble considering Abo and Kado aren't there to terrorize him, but that remains to be seen.

There are some chronological elements within the story and I wanted to say I tried to make sure they seemed reasonable so if they seem unrealistic, sorry!

I wanted to point out the chapter title. The "betrayal" is meant to symbolize Kara amd Vegeta's defection from Frieza. It was clear when Kara stole the Dragon Ball from Frieza and when Vegeta killed Zarbon and Dodoria. I thought this was an important turning point to show that Kara, and perhaps Vegeta, would reshape their beliefs.

Thank you again for taking the time to read the story! I regret taking so long to update the story and I apologize for that.

Making sure everyone had a plan, making sure the plot progresses, show proper character development, add appropriate comedic/dark elements, show 'reasonable' power/skill... it's just a lot harder than you may think. Maybe I shouldn't worry so much about realism in a story of fiction... BUT I think that's what makes a story much more enjoyable!

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed and feel free to leave reviews to help the story out! Until next time!
