The Cosmic Emperor, Frieza

"What? The Saiyans have companions? And someone who's far stronger than Vegeta."

Bulma vividly remembered the Saiyans' invasion of Earth. If he had companions, what if they came to Earth for revenge later?

Yamcha and the others had been killed by the Saiyans. If it hadn't been to revive them, she never would have traveled all the way to the distant Planet Namek.

They had only just arrived on Namek when they saw someone wearing Saiyan battle armor.

Bulma gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear them apart. And now, someone even stronger than Vegeta had appeared!

"This energy feels so familiar. Could it be Vegeta? And there's another energy behind him, just as powerful as his."

Krillin suddenly looked up and saw two spaceships descending onto the planet.

He immediately sensed Vegeta's energy.

"Ignore them. They're just a bunch of minions. Bulma, take out the Dragon Radar and see where the Dragon Balls are."

Son Gohan said domineeringly.

Even if Vegeta were here, he would still be ground into the dirt.

Judging by their battle armor, they should be members of the Frieza Force.

"Look, what's going on here? Could someone have gotten ahead of us and gathered the Dragon Balls already?"

Bulma took out the Dragon Radar and checked it. Four Dragon Balls were clustered together.

Thinking of how Vegeta had also arrived on the planet, she assumed his companions had gathered the Dragon Balls.

She immediately used the Satellite Phone to notify Master Roshi on Earth that they had safely arrived on Planet Namek.

Vegeta and many of his companions were also on the planet, and an extremely powerful energy had appeared there as well.

Earth!

"What? All of the Saiyans' companions have arrived on Planet Namek too?"

"And an extremely powerful energy has appeared there? Then I'll notify Son Goku right away."

After hanging up, Master Roshi hurried nonstop toward the hospital.

He had to tell Son Goku about Planet Namek.

Although Son Gohan was powerful, he was still young.

He was still quite worried about the safety of the three of them.

Half an hour later, Master Roshi appeared in Son Goku's hospital room.

"That guy Vegeta actually went to Planet Namek? And there's an energy there even stronger than his?"

Son Goku hadn't expected Vegeta's injuries to be so severe, yet for him to recover so quickly and even head to Planet Namek.

His companions' energies were even stronger than his? He really looked forward to fighting them again.

"Goku, the Senzu Beans have grown. Korin told me to bring them all to you."

Yajirobe stood in the doorway as he spoke.

A month had passed, and the Senzu Beans had matured.

"Great! Heaven is helping me! Hurry up and give me one!"

Son Goku shouted anxiously.

They had just received news from Bulma on Planet Namek, and Yajirobe's arrival was truly timely help.

"You can't even beat them, yet you're still this excited."

Yajirobe curled his lip, took a Senzu Bean from the cloth bag, and tossed it to Son Goku.

"That's Saiyan blood for you. Fighting powerful opponents is their greatest pleasure."

Master Roshi explained. He had come to understand it.

Son Goku had trained by his side since childhood. The kid had been born battle-hungry.

And where did the Saiyans' incredible Battle Power come from?

It had certainly been forged through countless battles.

"When Bulma's father came to visit me last time, I asked him to find the spaceship I rode to Earth as a child and modify it for me."

"I'm going to Bulma's house now to see whether the spaceship is ready."

After saying that, Son Goku snatched the bag of Senzu Beans from Yajirobe's hand, jumped out the window, summoned the Flying Nimbus, and flew toward Bulma's house.

"Goku's already a father, yet he's still so rash and impatient."

Master Roshi shook his head with a smile as he watched Son Goku leave.

Capsule Corp Headquarters, Bulma's home.

"Uncle, can the spaceship really fly now? Hurry and teach me how to operate it. I'm heading to Planet Namek right away."

Son Goku pushed his speed to the limit and quickly arrived at Bulma's home.

Staring in shock at Bulma's dad and the massive Spaceship before him, he said, "Yes, I worked day and night and finally got it repaired."

"We can leave immediately. Just press this button, and we'll reach Planet Namek in six days."

Bulma's dad spoke with a proud expression.

He had personally modified this Spaceship all by himself.

He explained all the controls and operating methods to Son Goku.

All the daily necessities had been prepared as well, along with instructions for using the Gravity Room.

"Uncle, you're amazing. Kami's Spaceship takes a whole month to reach Planet Namek, but your modified ship can get there in six days."

Son Goku said admiringly, then invited Bulma's dad out of the Spaceship.

Whoosh!

The massive Spaceship instantly shot into the sky, quickly leaving Earth's atmosphere and entering outer space.

It was Son Goku's first time in space. Seeing nothing but pitch-black darkness outside, he found there was nothing to look at and began training under twenty times gravity.

Planet Namek!

"Lord Frieza, the two Scouts we sent out earlier have lost contact. It seems they are most likely dead."

Holding two Dragon Balls, Zarbon respectfully reported to Frieza, who was seated in his Baby Carriage.

"What was the Battle Power of the ones who killed them?"

Frieza said expressionlessly. The deaths of two Scouts were hardly significant.

He did not care in the slightest whether those two lived or died. He only wanted to know the Battle Power of the people who had killed them.

"Lord Frieza, their strength was only a little over one thousand. They don't seem to be Namekians."

Zarbon recalled the conversation between the two Scouts. Those people should have only just arrived on Planet Namek.

"Ho ho ho! What useless trash, getting killed by two people with Battle Power of just over one thousand."

"Forget about them. We'll deal with them when we encounter them later. For now, let's search for another Dragon Ball."

Hearing that their Battle Power was only a little over one thousand, Frieza did not take them seriously at all.

With Battle Power of just over one thousand, he could kill them with a single look.

They flew toward another Namekian Village.

The Scouter showed that there were more than ten lifeforms there.

"There are several powerful presences on this planet. We need to be more careful."

Krillin sensed that the planet was filled with Evil Aura, and there were several presences even stronger than his own.

What was going on with this planet? Why were there so many evil presences?

Judging from all the signs, these people had probably all come for the Dragon Balls.

Luckily, Gohan had come along too. Otherwise, they would have left their lives behind on Planet Namek.

"Let's fly toward the Dragon Ball closest to us."

Son Gohan saw on the Dragon Radar that there was a Dragon Ball in the nearest direction.

He placed his palm on Kami's Spaceship and, with a thought, stored it in the System Inventory.

Bulma and Krillin stared at Son Gohan's actions in shock. How had he done that?
