Chapter 15 - The Calm Before the Storm

"As long as we can revive Piccolo, the Earth's Dragon Balls can be used to revive everyone!"

"It's just… if I die here, even the Dragon Balls won't be able to revive me!"

Thinking of this, Krillin suddenly became pessimistic again.

"Make up your mind and let's go!"

Vegeta urged them, ready to set off.

"Vegeta, you have to promise us that after you get the Dragon Balls, you'll grant our wishes!"

"Stop the nonsense, I only want eternal life! You can do whatever you want with the other two wishes!"

"Alright! It's a deal!"

After making the agreement, the four of them flew towards Frieza's spaceship.

Seeing them leave, Nail returned to the Elder Guru's side.

"Nail, my time is running out! I don't know if I can hold on until they make their wish..."

Nail was shocked to hear this.

"Elder Guru!"

"Nail, you must help them as much as possible... especially Dende... that child... is a Dragon Clan genius! Our race will depend on him in the future!"

"Yes, Elder Guru!"

Frieza stared at the seven Dragon Balls in front of him, gazing at the sky, anxiously waiting.

Finally, seeing five trails of fire streak across the sky, Frieza finally smiled.

With five spaceships slamming into the ground, the hatches opened in unison.

Five figures flew out of the spaceships almost simultaneously, landing in front of Frieza in order.

Whoosh! Recoome!

Crack! Burter!

Swoosh! Jeice!

Hiss! Guldo!

Clack! Ginyu!

Ginyu Force!

Fusion Great Gathering!

"..."

Frieza waited patiently as the five of them finished their poses, then he spoke.

"Hmph~ You actually made me wait so long!"

"We… we are truly sorry! We were too far away! Lord Frieza, what is the mission this time?"

Knowing that Frieza had summoned them in a hurry, there must be an urgent matter, Captain Ginyu immediately asked.

Frieza saw the most trusted Ginyu Force, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Give me the scouter quickly! We must find the surviving Namekians!"

"Also, Dodoria and Zarbon were probably killed by that brat Vegeta! Find him for me! I want him alive!"

"Piece of cake!"

Ginyu said, handing over a brand new scouter, and immediately started checking his own.

"There are several powerful forces nearby, and judging from their power levels, it should be Vegeta! There are also two other powerful power levels beside him, I don't know who they are!"

"Two guys, huh? Hmph! Looks like it's the two brats that appeared before. Has Vegeta teamed up with them again? How ridiculous! Kill those two brats as well!"

"Yes, Lord Frieza! Also, we've detected the presence of Namekians far away!"

"Oh?"

Frieza's eyes lit up at the words; this was what he cared about most.

Frieza immediately used his scouter to scan.

"So, that's where they are! We haven't been there yet! Excellent! Looks like there are survivors! I'll go interrogate them personally. I must find out how to use the Dragon Balls!"

Frieza said excitedly, getting into his "baby carriage". Then he instructed Ginyu.

"Ginyu, you stay here and keep an eye on the Dragon Balls! Have the others go capture Vegeta!"

"Yes!" Captain Ginyu stood at attention. "You can count on me!"

A flash of light passed, and Frieza, moving at incredible speed, flew towards the direction of the Elder Guru.

"Haha, hurry, my wish is about to come true!"

Frieza sat in his hover-chair, speeding towards the Elder Guru.

Krillin led everyone to Bulma's hiding place, which wasn't far from Frieza's spaceship.

"Everyone, quickly conceal your ki!"

Krillin landed on the ground and immediately instructed them, then knocked on Bulma's door.

"Bulma, quickly get the Dragon Radar!"

Bulma opened the door when she heard Krillin's voice, then was stunned.

"Dragon Radar?"

Bulma looked at Dende in confusion, then saw Vegeta behind everyone.

"Ah!!"

Bulma was so startled that her hair stood on end.

"Ve… Vegeta?"

"No time to explain! Give us the Dragon Radar quickly!"

Krillin urged.

"Before… didn't… didn't give it… to him!"

Bulma pointed at Dende.

"..."

Dende was speechless. He hadn't expected Krillin to think of coming back for the Dragon Radar first.

Taking the radar from his pocket, Dende handed it to Krillin.

"When did you get the radar?"

Krillin asked, puzzled.

They had been together almost the entire time, seemingly never separated.

"Wait a minute!"

Krillin suddenly realized that when he and Gohan went to see Elder Guru, Dende seemed to have stayed with Bulma.

But when they arrived at Elder Guru's place, Dende walked out from inside the house.

How did Dende get there faster than them?

"Could it be?"

An idea popped into Krillin's head.

"Dende, are you perhaps a twin?"

"..."

Vegeta was also puzzled. Looking at the radar in Krillin's hand, Vegeta realized that it should be an instrument that could display the location of the Dragon Balls.

"Could it be that the Dragon Balls I hid… were found by this device?"

Vegeta immediately realized someone must have used the device to find the two Dragon Balls he'd hidden!

And this device was first in the hands of this Earth woman, and then in the hands of this Namekian runt!

The person who threw those two Dragon Balls to Frieza must be one of these two!

It shouldn't be this Namekian runt!

Although Vegeta knew Dende had miraculous healing abilities, he didn't believe this Namekian kid had the ability or the guts to do something like this under his nose.

Moreover, when he rushed to the Elder Guru at full speed, this runt was inside, helping Kakarot's son increase his power.

He couldn't possibly be that fast!

"Could it be this woman?"

Vegeta couldn't help but look at Bulma a few more times, his eyes filled with doubt.

Seeing that Vegeta wasn't making any moves, Bulma quickly regained her composure.

Look closely, this Vegeta guy is actually pretty handsome! And he has a cool personality! That's my type!

Thinking to herself, Bulma noticed Vegeta kept glancing at her.

Does he notice me? Is he mesmerized by my beauty? Hehe! Still pretending to be cool, deliberately putting on a cold face!

Watching Bulma's expressions change constantly, Vegeta couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This woman looks so silly, it shouldn't be her! Damn it, who is it then?"

"And that guy who ambushed me, what kind of people are hiding on this planet?"

Vegeta immediately thought of the mysterious expert who had snatched Zarbon in mid-air, as well as the mysterious person who had suddenly attacked and injured him while he was fighting Nail.

"Hmph, once I get immortality, I'll definitely ferret you all out one by one! Then, you'll pay!"

Only Gohan was relatively naive and couldn't understand why Krillin had brought them here to get the Dragon Radar.

"Uncle Krillin, what do we need the Dragon Radar for?"

"Right, the important thing! As long as we have the Dragon Radar, we can see clearly whether Frieza has left the Dragon Balls!"

Krillin explained.

Although his strength wasn't the most outstanding among them now, Krillin was confident in his quick-wittedness.

The reason Krillin thought of grabbing the Dragon Radar first was that all seven Dragon Balls were now together. He just needed to catch Frieza off guard when he left the Dragon Balls and launch a sneak attack. Then, he'd have a chance to make a wish to Shenron!

Just as Krillin opened the radar, revealing the location of the seven Dragon Balls, a powerful aura whistled across the sky.
