We Got Played to Death?

"What godly water?" Nappa asked, looking utterly confused.

What are you talking about?

Why can't I understand a single thing?

"Come to think of it, where's that guy from the Frieza Force?" Nappa asked again.

I have a feeling you're hiding something from me.

"He's dead." Raditz grinned.

"Dead? How did someone with such a high power level die?" Nappa asked, dumbfounded.

"Uh, he got played to death." Raditz's grin grew even wider.

Nappa: "????"

Nappa was even more confused.

What on earth are you talking about?

Why can't I understand a single thing?

How did he get played to death?

"Beep! Beep!"

Just then, a text message came through on Soya and Vegeta's Scouters at the same time.

Soya glanced down.

It was a message from the Frieza Force.

The message was simple: Soya's squad was to return to Planet Vegeta immediately.

"Huh? They want us to return to Planet Vegeta?" Raditz leaned over to take a look. He paused, then immediately asked Vegeta, "Prince Vegeta, we've pretty much finished dealing with this planet. Are we going back?"

"Soya, what do you think?" Vegeta asked, seeking Soya's opinion.

"Prince Vegeta, do you want to get rid of Frieza?" Soya asked with a smile.

"You don't actually plan to make Frieza drink the godly water, do you?" Vegeta's expression stiffened.

"This is a great chance to get rid of him. It's up to you!" Soya grinned.

"Then let's go!" Vegeta gritted his teeth and snorted. "I'm sick of being ordered around by that Frieza!"

"How about we head to Frieza's spaceship?" Soya asked, beaming.

Vegeta took a deep breath and clenched his fists, his heart pounding with excitement.

Soya really had some nerve!

But I like it!

If we could use this chance to get rid of Frieza, it'd be a great move.

"Strange. Why did the Frieza Force send us a text message? Is the signal bad on this planet?" Raditz scratched his head, puzzled.

"Probably!" Vegeta nodded, the corners of his mouth lifting as delight showed on his face. "If that's true, then this is perfect! He has no idea what's going on here!"

"W-wait a second! What... what did you just say? You're going to get rid of Frieza?" Nappa was stunned. His mouth twitched, and his face went deathly pale.

Get rid of Frieza? I wouldn't even dare dream about it!

Are you three serious?

"What? Are you going to report us to Frieza?" Vegeta snorted, giving Nappa a sidelong glance.

"No... How could I? I've hated Frieza for ages, too!" Nappa waved his hands frantically.

"Good." A murderous glint appeared in Vegeta's eyes as he considered whether to kill Nappa.

The fewer people who knew about their plan to get rid of Frieza, the better.

If they accidentally gave themselves away, they'd be in trouble.

At least Nappa knew nothing about the Battle God Water.

"How about this? To be on the safe side, we'll leave Nappa here alone to keep cleaning up the battlefield," Soya said, sharing his idea.

As far as Soya was concerned, if they really were going to get rid of Frieza, he and Vegeta would be enough.

There was no need to bring Nappa along.

If Nappa let something slip, Frieza was bound to get suspicious.

As for Raditz...

Soya thought the kid had done a decent job.

At least he'd worked well with me during the Cui incident and hadn't let me down.

So Soya planned to bring Raditz along. Whenever they had some downtime, he could also get Negative Emotion Points from him.

"Y-you said what? You're leaving me alone on this planet?" Nappa exclaimed, gritting his teeth. "Do you have any idea what you're saying? Why do I have to stay here by myself?"

"Negative Emotion Points from Nappa +999!"

Soya, you're no person!

If I could beat you, do you think I wouldn't knock you all over the ground right now?

"Enough talk. That's final!" Vegeta snorted.

"Prince Vegeta... I want to go, too!" Nappa pleaded miserably.

Vegeta immediately fixed Nappa with a cold stare, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Nappa trembled with fear and waved his hands frantically. Then he looked around at everyone with a warm smile. "Actually, I suddenly think this planet is great. There's plenty to eat and drink... Raditz and I will wait here for you to return victorious!"

"Yeah, good luck!" Raditz nodded vigorously.

"Raditz, you're coming too!" Soya ordered.

Raditz: "..."

"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +888!"

You want me to go with you to get rid of Frieza?

Give me a break!

With a power level like mine, I could get killed in no time!

Vegeta glanced at Soya in surprise, unsure why he wanted to bring Raditz along.

"C-can I stay behind?" Raditz was panicking inside.

Why are you taking me with you?

That's Frieza!

Power level: 200,000!

"I think you're pretty quick on your feet. You react fast when it counts," Soya said with a chuckle.

Raditz felt like crying.

"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +555!"

"Anyway, make sure you come back to pick me up soon!" Nappa hurriedly said. "Without a spaceship, I can't go anywhere."

"Here, I'll give you some homework. I'll check it when I get back." Soya had an idea and turned to Nappa.

"What homework?" Nappa asked, baffled.

"Say this: Black fertilizer turns gray; gray fertilizer turns black. Black fertilizer turning gray will evaporate; gray fertilizer evaporating will turn black. Black fertilizer evaporating and turning gray will make flowers fly; gray fertilizer evaporating and turning black will make flying flowers." Soya recited.

Raditz quietly wiped the sweat from his brow.

Here we go again!

This one sounds even harder than the last.

Nappa's in for it!

Nappa: "????"

"When I get back, if you can't say it properly..." As he spoke, Soya tossed the Scouter in his hand to Nappa.

Nappa caught it instinctively, looking completely lost.

What are you trying to do?

"Check my power level, and you'll understand everything." Soya smiled, showing a set of pearly white teeth.

Nappa immediately used the Scouter to check Soya's power level.

When he saw it, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"T-this... A power level of 10,000!" Nappa stared in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me. When did your power level..."

Vegeta frowned and snatched the Scouter off Nappa's face.

It really had been the right choice to leave that idiot on this planet.

"Why are you wearing the Scouter and shouting like that?" Vegeta snorted, looking disgusted.

"B-but what's going on? How did your power level increase so fast?" Nappa was truly stunned. It all seemed more and more unbelievable.

"Doesn't matter. If you don't say it properly, I won't mind giving you a beating when we come back to pick you up." Soya clenched his fist.

"Hmph. I'm looking forward to hearing you recite what Soya said just now without missing a word," Vegeta added with a snort.

Nappa: "..."

"Negative Emotion Points from Nappa +999!"
