บท 54: Ch. 54: Frieza Force
"Argh! This argument isn't getting us anywhere!" Piccolo exclaimed. The four of them had been arguing about what to do since they got here. Gohan and Piccolo wanted to gather at least one dragon ball and keep it safe until Goku and Raditz got to Namek. Meanwhile, Krillin and Bulma wanted to leave before they caught Vegeta's attention. "Haa!!"
Finally at his wits end, Piccolo did something that not even I saw coming. He fired a blast at the glass windshield of the spaceship. Normally, it wouldn't do anything, but this time the glass exploded inwardly, rendering the ship unusable.
"PICCOLO, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!!! THAT WAS OUR ONLY WAY HOME!!!!!" Bulma screeched.
"Bulma... look." I pointed at the glass. It was fixing itself, slowly but surely. We'd already half-expected something like this to happen when we built the thing. It was made to fix itself over the course of about five days if someone did what Piccolo just did.
"It's fixing itself!" Gohan realized.
"Not fast enough, though." Krillin added.
"It doesn't matter." Piccolo reminded us, "When Goku and Raditz get here, they'll have their own ship. If we can't get this one fixed by then, we'll just take theirs."
"Guys, look! Someone's coming!" Gohan noticed. These were Frieza's scouts.
"Keep your eyes peeled. They should be around here somewhere." One of the scouts said.
"Those aren't Namekians." Piccolo noted. Soon enough, the scouts dropped down nearby and noticed us. After a small conversation between the two of them, they flew over toward us.
"Check out what they're wearing!" Bulma called to us, noting their Saiyan Battle Armor.
"Those aren't Saiyans, either." Krillin thought aloud, "They must be hired muscle."
The scouts didn't bother talking to us at all. They just shot from their hand cannons... at Bulma.
"Nope." I decided, casually brushing the energy blast aside before Bulma was hurt.
"Eek!" Bulma shrieked, realizing how close she had just come to death. "I love you, Hanna!" She shouted, annoying me.
"My turn, if you idiots won't talk." I had far more control over my power than either Gohan or Krillin did in the anime, even with the heavy restrictions that I'd placed on myself. I pumped power into my legs for an instant, jumping behind one of them before blasting him with a powerful energy bomb. He was instantly eradicated.
"Aah! Diee!" Scared senseless, the other scout did the first thing on his mind... he attacked me. With a light kick, he was tossed far away. I honestly wasn't sure whether he was alive or dead anymore after my kick, but it didn't really matter, since every single one of Frieza's underlings on this planet were fated to die by the time Goku became a Super Saiyan.
"Bulma, put the ship into a capsule. We need to get going." Piccolo demanded.
"W-why?" She asked. Bulma wasn't used to fighting like we were. Understanding how an enemy thinks was an alien concept to her.
"Whoever sent those scouts knows where we are now, and they're clearly not friendly. Piccolo's right. We need to get going." Krillin explained.
Bulma put the ship into its capsule before we headed out. For some reason, I ended up carrying her as we walked.
"Why am I doing this again?" I wondered aloud after we'd crossed a few rivers.
"Because I'm a beautiful, frail young girl. If I were to walk on my own, it would be too much for my delicate body to handle!" Bulma declared proudly, making Krillin snort.
"Because otherwise, she'd slow us down." Piccolo gave me a better reason. Still not very good, though.
"I really don't want to, though." I repeated.
"WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT CARRYING A DELICATE ANGEL LIKE MYSELF?!" Bulma shouted into my ear.
"YOU WON'T SHUT UP!" I shouted right back, dropping her into a lake. After leaving her in the water for a moment, I picked her back up like a sack of potatoes, spluttering water all over me. She was quieter after that. Since we weren't able to fly, we had to settle for running at a moderate speed so that they wouldn't pick us up on their scouters. Fortunately, since I was carrying Bulma, we were able to make pretty good time despite the restriction.
"Hey, look everyone! I found a cave!" Krillin finally called, pointing out a cave hidden in a rock formation. We all agreed (except for the 'delicate flower') that it'd be a great place to hide out for the time being.
"EVERYONE GET INTO THE CAVE AND HIDE RIGHT NOW!" Piccolo sensed Frieza leave the Namekian village that he was currently slaughtering and immediately shouted at us to hide. We'd all been wary of Frieza since the start, except for Bulma, so we immediately did as he said.
"What's going on!?" Bulma asked loudly, causing everyone to flinch. We all froze stock still as Frieza and his henchmen passed by our little cave. Luckily, none of them noticed us, but the other three stayed still long after they passed by.
"What's the matter?" She asked again.
"B-Bulma... check the dragon radar..." Not even Piccolo was able to keep his cool after feeling Frieza's insane power.
"And I thought that King Piccolo was pure evil... back then..." Krillin thought aloud. Piccolo didn't say anything to that. He couldn't...
"Those guys... whoever they are, they have four dragon balls! And they're headed right for another one, like they know just where it is!" Bulma said.
"That guy in the front..." Gohan voiced what we were all thinking.
"He's terrifyingly strong. We wouldn't stand a chance." Piccolo finished his thought.
"Wh-why he can't be stronger than Vegeta, can he?" Bulma asked, terrified. Vegeta was the strongest evil they'd faced so far.
"Bulma... comparing that... thing... with Vegeta would be like comparing an ant and the planet that the ant's standing on." I told her. It sounded insane, but it was the truth. Bulma gasped, not able to understand the power difference. That was natural. Stupid power gaps.
"And some of those other guys were stronger than us, too. All just as evil as Vegeta." Gohan agreed with me.
