Krillin vs. Dodoria

On the battlefield.

"Vegeta, just let me go and join your team. If you and I work together, we can take down Zarbon and Dodoria. The truth is, I hate Frieza, too."

After seeing the Battle Power erupt from Vegeta, Cui's eyes darted around as his mind raced.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to him.

"Cui, the way you act disgusts me. Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Vegeta advanced on Cui, who kept backing away.

A deadly chill instantly enveloped Cui. It looked like he had no choice but to fight to the death.

"King Frieza!"

Cui shouted behind Vegeta.

Vegeta's heart sank, and he reflexively turned to look.

"Vegeta, you fell for it! Prepare to die!"

A wicked smile spread across Cui's lips. His scheme had worked.

He attacked at once, unleashing a series of Prince Style moves. The Energy Blasts in his hands poured toward Vegeta like machine-gun fire.

Rumble!

The Energy Wave exploded in an instant. The ground caved in, a gigantic mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and dust billowed everywhere.

Cui looked at his handiwork, a pleased smile on his face. No matter how strong Vegeta was, after taking that barrage, he'd either be dead or severely wounded.

"Fool. Didn't you know that increasing your Battle Power also increases your speed? You've successfully made me angry."

Vegeta appeared behind Cui. At the last possible moment, he had escaped the attack with a burst of speed.

He stared at Cui coldly, as if looking at a dead man.

"N-no, this can't be!"

Cui's spine turned cold. He kept backing away, a red aura flaring around him as he shot into the sky.

He didn't want to stay here another second. Vegeta's eyes were terrifying.

"Trying to run? Ask my fist."

Vegeta suddenly appeared in front of Cui and drove a boulder-sized fist into his stomach.

Cui's face twisted. Clutching his stomach, he began vomiting uncontrollably, as if his insides had been knotted together.

A massive ball of energy gathered in Vegeta's hand. In an instant, it blasted Cui's body to pieces.

Grinding his teeth, Vegeta looked in another direction, sensing a familiar presence: Kakarot's son, Son Gohan!

He hadn't expected to run into him again on Planet Namek. A blazing fury rose within him.

Once I've collected all seven Dragon Balls and gained eternal life, I'll take my time clearing out the lot of you trash.

For now, I need to find a Dragon Ball, then steal Frieza's five Dragon Balls. They've lost their Scouters anyway.

"Krillin, Bulma, I'm back!"

Son Gohan landed right in front of Krillin and Bulma, who were in the middle of fleeing, with two children in his arms.

He wasn't afraid of Dodoria chasing after him.

"Wow, Namekian children are so cute! What are your names?"

Bulma saw Son Gohan land in front of them with two little ones in his arms.

She walked over and crouched down to pat one of them on the head, but the child nervously ducked away.

"I'm Dende, and he's Danjer! Thank you."

Dende spoke. The two of them looked almost exactly alike, but Dende was a little taller and less shy.

Danjer was afraid of strangers and hadn't said a word the whole time.

"Gohan, there's a powerful presence coming this way!"

Cold sweat appeared on Krillin's forehead as he sensed a powerful presence approaching.

What was going on? Had someone targeted Gohan?

"Hahaha! Why did you stop running?"

Dodoria flew over and looked down at Son Gohan and the others with an amused expression.

He slowly descended, glancing over the group.

"Gohan, leave this one to me. Keep an eye on them."

Krillin steeled himself and stepped forward, shielding Bulma and the others behind him.

He could feel how powerful his opponent was, but there was no way he could hide behind a child like some coward.

After all, he was a whole generation older than Son Gohan!

He also wanted to find out where his limits lay.

"Okay. I'm counting on you."

Son Gohan smiled faintly, then led Bulma, Dende, and Danjer to the side.

This was exactly what he wanted. He could just wait here and collect Battle Power attributes.

"Fine, you little bald runt. I'll show you what I can do!"

Without his Scouter, Dodoria had no idea how strong Krillin was now.

Seeing how short Krillin was, he assumed he didn't have much Battle Power and decided to play with him.

"Bring it on, you fat pig!"

Krillin tensed, hoping to strike first. His opponent's energy was simply too powerful.

He unleashed more than 1,000 Battle Power, pushed off the ground, and shot forward like an arrow.

Krillin's fists hammered toward Dodoria like machine-gun fire, but Dodoria countered every blow. No matter how fast Krillin moved, he couldn't land a hit.

"Hahaha! You pathetic human—try taking one of my punches!"

As Dodoria spoke, his boulder-sized fist struck Krillin in the stomach.

Thud!

Krillin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shot away like a cannonball, tearing straight through a mountain.

[Battle Power attribute dropped ahead: 50]

As soon as the two began fighting, the system's notification rang out in Son Gohan's mind.

He watched them fight with interest. He could collect Battle Power attributes just by standing here. What could be better?

"Gohan, hurry and help! Krillin doesn't look like he can beat that fat pig!"

Bulma saw Krillin go down with a single punch.

Her face turned ashen. She grabbed Son Gohan's arm without thinking and spoke anxiously.

Her palms were sweating from nerves. Their enemy was far too strong.

"That's right, big brother Gohan! Hurry and help, or Uncle Krillin will be killed!"

Dende and Danjer were frightened, too.

These people were terrifying. They had just killed so many of their people.

"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to Krillin."

Son Gohan spoke calmly.

He knew what he was doing. He had a reason for handling things this way.

"Damn it! Let's see you handle this!"

Krillin struggled to his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth.

He knew his opponent was powerful. Ordinary attacks wouldn't hurt him.

He quickly unleashed a Kamehameha!

Rumble!

The Kamehameha's beam of energy struck Dodoria in an instant, and dust billowed everywhere.

"Little bald runt, it's over."

As the dust cleared, Dodoria's figure emerged. He looked at Krillin with amusement and laughed.

The little bald runt was so weak that he couldn't even hold Dodoria's interest. Gathering a massive ball of energy in his palm, he hurled it at Krillin.

Krillin saw the huge Energy Wave coming toward him and closed his eyes in despair.

"Giving up already? The people on Earth are still waiting for us to bring them back to life."

Son Gohan suddenly appeared in front of Krillin and smacked the massive Energy Blast away. Krillin was overjoyed. He'd completely forgotten that someone so powerful was on their side.
