"Is this... Namek?"
When Kami first saw the homeland of the Namekians, his body couldn't help trembling.
A sense of familiarity deep in his soul made him draw in a deep breath.
Even the air seemed to carry a familiar scent.
"Come on, Kami. I'll take you to meet the Grand Elder!"
Lin Chen patted Kami on the shoulder, then led him toward the Grand Elder's residence.
Before long, Kami saw for the first time in his life a Namekian other than King Piccolo.
The one who greeted them was Nail, the Grand Elder's guard, as always.
He bowed to Lin Chen and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Lin Chen. The Grand Elder sent me to welcome the Namekian who has returned home."
What followed was naturally a harmonious scene of a child returning to his roots. Kami also learned from the Grand Elder that he was the child of a Namekian named Katatz, who had sent him to Earth during the catastrophic climate disaster that struck Namek.
Throughout it all, Lin Chen stood quietly to one side, watching.
After Kami and the Grand Elder had finished catching up, the Grand Elder finally said to Lin Chen, "Mr. Lin Chen, might you have come this time for the Dragon Balls?"
"Yes, Grand Elder. I'd like to make a wish with the Dragon Balls. Do I need to undergo another test?"
"Heh heh heh, Mr. Lin Chen, you may use Namek's Dragon Balls whenever you wish."
The Grand Elder had a degree of prophetic ability, and he had already foreseen that Lin Chen might help the Namekians.
As time passed, the Grand Elder also noticed that Lin Chen grew much stronger with every meeting.
He believed it was well worth building a good relationship with someone as powerful as Lin Chen.
With the Grand Elder's permission, Lin Chen quickly gathered all seven Dragon Balls from Namekian villages across the planet using Instant Transmission.
Once Namek's seven Dragon Balls were assembled, Kami also brought out the seven Earth Dragon Balls he had brought with him.
"You made these Dragon Balls? You truly are an excellent member of the Dragon Clan."
The Grand Elder praised Kami when he saw the Earth Dragon Balls.
"Thank you for the praise, Grand Elder. So... Lin Chen, shall we begin?"
"Sure!" Lin Chen nodded.
"Shenron, come forth! Grant my wish!" Kami shouted.
At the same time, Nail chanted the words to summon the dragon in Namekian Language.
The next moment, the sky over Namek plunged into darkness.
All fourteen Dragon Balls shone with golden light.
Then, one large dragon and one small dragon materialized from the light.
Earth's Shenron and Namek's Porunga had appeared at the same time and in the same place. This scene, which had never appeared even in the original story, now unfolded before Lin Chen and the others.
But as he watched, the first thing Lin Chen said was, "Kami, your dragon is so small."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kami's forehead. He said sheepishly, "Yeah. Compared to the Grand Elder, I still have a long way to go."
The Grand Elder chuckled and reassured him. "It's all right. The dragon's appearance is superficial. What matters most is that your dragon is full of power. That's a good thing."
"Thank you, Grand Elder."
Kami thanked him, then said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, state your wish."
Lin Chen nodded and first said to Nail, "Mr. Nail, for my first wish, please have Namek's dragon restore Planet Tiwei!"
Then he said to Earth's Shenron, "Please revive the lifeforms on Tiwei Planet who were killed when Frieza destroyed it!"
That was why Lin Chen had summoned the dragons of two planets at the same time.
This time, Lin Chen wanted to revive more than just Hanasia. Namek's dragon couldn't revive multiple people at once, so if Lin Chen wanted to bring them back, he had to use Earth's Shenron.
However, Earth's Shenron could grant only one wish at a time, and Planet Tiwei had to be restored before its people could be revived.
That was why Lin Chen had gathered the Dragon Balls of two planets at once.
After Lin Chen stated his wishes, he saw Porunga and Earth's Shenron light up their eyes one after the other.
Porunga spoke first. "Saiyan, your wish has been granted. Planet Tiwei has been restored!"
Then Earth's Shenron spoke as well. "Your wish has been granted, Saiyan. Thank you for letting me meet my brother. Farewell!"
With that, Earth's Shenron's coiling body transformed back into seven Dragon Balls, ready to fly off in different directions.
But they were on Namek, and Lin Chen naturally wasn't going to let the Dragon Balls scatter everywhere. Otherwise, it would be difficult to take them back to Earth.
So before they could fly away, Lin Chen leaped high into the air and caught all seven Dragon Balls at once.
Meanwhile, on Planet Tiwei.
Many people stood up from the ground, bewildered. Among them were Hanasia, who had already died, and the other Saiyans.
"Frieza!"
Hanasia shouted as soon as she came back to life. But then she realized that she seemed to be on Planet Tiwei.
"That's strange. Where are Frieza and the others?"
"Princess Hanasia!"
Several Saiyans who had also just been revived gathered around Hanasia, asking one another what had happened.
Many of them remembered that they were supposed to be dead.
Hearing their conversation, Hanasia suddenly realized that she, too, seemed to have died.
That cunning Frieza had suddenly destroyed Planet Tiwei when he couldn't beat her.
If that was the case, why had they all come back to life? And why had Planet Tiwei been restored, too?
While Hanasia and the others were full of questions, other aliens on the planet began scrambling to board nearby spaceships and flee into space.
They were all Frieza Force combatants.
They had landed on the planet to ambush the Saiyans, only for Frieza to kill them along with everyone else on Planet Tiwei.
Now they had suddenly come back to life. They had no idea what had happened, but they certainly recognized the Saiyans nearby.
That female Saiyan had even beaten King Frieza to a pulp. If they didn't run now, were they supposed to wait around for her to kill them again?
Meanwhile, back on Namek.
Nail said to Lin Chen, "Mr. Lin Chen, your wish has been granted. What is your second wish?"
"My second wish... Ah, I don't think I've decided yet." Lin Chen gave an embarrassed, sheepish laugh.
At that, Kami and the others promptly fell over.
