Transmission sent to Avengers tower

This is Agent Blue of SHIELD. This message is to be brought to the attention of Tony Stark.

Having been tasked with the infiltration of the few sovereign states that are not members of the UN, I've located a collection of supers in the Vatican City. However, this is no small gathering of refugees. There are several hundred supers, apparently preparing for battle, within the cities boundaries. Although they could just be preparing in case of an attack, it is also possible that the Vatican is being used as a base of operations for some massive resistance. I assume their numbers are growing daily and suggest that we immediately prepare to invade the Vatican. This could possibly be the largest secret anti-registration force on the planet right now. If we allow them to connect with the main Anti-Registration forces then there WILL be trouble. I'm currently in Rome, prepared to notify the Italian government of the situation as soon as I receive a response from you.

After receiving the transmission from Tony Stark, Agent Blue quickly set up a meeting with the President of Italy. After determining exactly who she was, the President was able to make time to meet with her within the hour.

"So what brings you here Agent Blue?" asked the president, "We have the rallying up of supers under control here in Italy. We had very few supers here anyway, and most of them just fled the country when the law was passed, so we had very little work to do." "I'm not here to assist in Italy's enforcement of the registration act," replied Agent Blue, "In case you've forgotten, it was explained at the last UN summit that I would be responsible for infiltrating the countries who were not a part of the UN." "Oh yes," he replied, "I do remember that." "As you obviously know," she continued, "The Vatican City, although an observer, is not a member of the UN yet operates independently." "Yes I am aware of that," replied the president, "So I assume you are here to notify me that you will be entering the Vatican?" "No sir," she said, "I've already infiltrated the Vatican. I'm here to notify you that the Italian supers did not flee the country per say, they fled into the Vatican."

"Well they still have to register don't they?" asked the president, "I mean, doesn't UN law essentially apply to the whole world?" "Unfortunately we didn't think through that too much," she answered, "The non-member states are small and most don't even have an supers living there. The UN kinda just overlooked them." "Well if the Italian supers want to go live in the Vatican for the rest of their lives then I say let them," said the president. "The problem is Mr. President," Agent Blue replied, "The Italian supers are not the only ones in the Vatican. Several hundred supers from all over the world have gathered there. The likely-hood that they will remain there forever is very low. In fact, they appeared to be preparing themselves for battle. If they organize a rebellion there and attack, your capitol will fall easily." "What do you propose?" asked the president.

"I've already talked with Tony Stark," she said, "He wanted me to get things straight with you before doing anything because invading the Vatican doesn't look good to the public eye." "Well the public wanted this law passed so now they need to sit back and let us enforce it!" exclaimed the president, "Tell Stark to get an invasion force of supers ready to fight along side the Italian military! I want this dealt within the next few days." "Understood sir," she replied.

Transmission sent to Avengers tower

This message is from Agent Blue of SHIELD and is to be brought to the attention of Tony Stark immediately. The President of Italy is eager to deal with the Vatican as soon as possible. His military is preparing for invasion but obviously needs support from some registered supers. The Vatican will likely become aware of the situation before we strike and may choose to strike first, which is very dangerous considering the capitol's proximity to the Vatican city. So please send supers as soon as possible. I'll be ready to assist in the battle as soon as your supers arrive.

It was a relatively quiet day over East City, and the inhabitants went about their day without hindrance. The ambient sounds of the city were unlike many others, and the people almost all seemed to know each other, with many strangers just engaging in conversations, whether it be on the sidewalk or in a cafe. But, that was all about to change on this faithful day.

In the skies above the city, two objects glinted. They were not planes nor helicopters, but seemed to be like metallic meteorites, dropping to the Earth's surface at immense speed. They crashed into the middle of a street, shattering floor level windows all around them, and leaving massive craters. People gathered around the craters, many silent, and some yelling that they were space ships. Suddenly, the windowed doors of the pods opened up, and air locks releasing a visible air. As the two beings stepped out, the people around the pods now gasped out, some yelling that they must be aliens.

The shorter of the two touched the button on the side of his scouter, and suddenly spoke to the other, taller alien, "These beings are pathetic. Look at their power levels. The highest one I can find is six. But, I guess I really shouldn't be surprised, after all the gravity here must be at least 10 times less than that of our old planet.", he said, before turning to the crowd, "Greetings Earthlings, my name is Okarot, and this is my associate Tabaga. We are Saiyans from the planet of Vegeta. Now, you will lead us to the things you call Dragon Balls and we might let you live.", he said impatiently.

The people recoiled in fear before looking at each other, confused. One of them called out, "We don't know what you're talking about. We've never heard of these Dragon Balls or Saiyans.", said the man.

Okarot suddenly gained a look of anger, and spoke in a reprimanding voice, "I don't appreciate being lied to. We know you are hiding them, but you've had your chance. Tabaga, show them what they've won.", the Saiyan said in a way that would suggest he has authority.

Suddenly the bigger one smiled, "With gusto.", he said as he lifted his hand and the majority of the city around them was vaporized in a massive explosion. Okarot sighed at the rather overdone punishment. In either case, this act would like draw out the more powerful amongst the earthlings.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot smiled, "Ah, and I see that the local resistance has arrived. I wonder what your power level is.", he said, holding down the button on his scouter. What looked like a four digit number appeared, "3000, huh? Impressive for an Earthling. But, you have no idea what your up against. To be honest, you aren't even worth my time. Tabaga, take care of this insect.", he said with a hint of aggression.

The larger Saiyan spoke, "My pleasure boss.", he said, pulling out some tablets from his armor and digging holes in the ground, planting them. After dropping some strange liquid atop the soil, it begin to shift and change. Suddenly, six little green creatures emerged. Tabaga smiled, "This soil is good, these Saibamen have a power level of at least 2000. They should be able to take care of this pest."

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot looked at the one mocking them, but payed no mind to the insults. More, he was surprised that any Earthling could have a power so high. Tabaga, the bigger bald Saiyan responded to it in a worried way, "I... you're bluffing! You can't have power that high! It can't be!", he yelled in disbelief.

Okarot spoke as well, "I don't believe you either. Just a simple bluff to try to scare us, but sorry, no dice.", he said, looking over to Tabaga, "Go ahead and finish this one, he's getting on my nerves. He seems to have no idea what he's dealing with.", he said confidently, before finishing his sentence, "Oh, and by the way, if you don't beat him, I finish you myself."

Tabaga nodded nervously before looking over to the Earthling and speaking in an arrogant tone, "Alright you little worm! I'll teach you to try to lie to me! You can't defeat me, and you're a blind fool for thinking you can! Now, time to finish this and find the Dragon Balls."

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot had an apathetic look as Tabaga was defeated. The wounded Saiyan called out to Okarot, "Okarot... please... please help me... I... I can't feel anything...", the Saiyan struggled to get out. He was missing both of his arms and couldn't feel the rest of his body. He couldn't move without help at this point.

But, Okarot was a man of his word, "Tabaga, what did I tell you before.", he said, sticking out his hand and pointing two of his fingers at Tabaga, "I told you if you couldn't finish the job, you would be finished.", he said, as a look of terror grew over Tabaga's face. Suddenly, Okarot lifted his two fingers, and Tabaga shot into the air, screaming in horror as he lost control over his body. Okarot began laughing maniacally as he closed his fist, and the Saiyan that was once his companion was vaporized in a massive explosion.

Now, Okarot looked over to Alex, "So, blondie, how about I show you a real fight. Let's see if you can keep up with a Saiyan Elite. But, let's not do it here, this doesn't seem like a proper place. I'm thinking something with some canyons, maybe some nice rock formations. Oh, and a little less corpses. You know any places like that?", he said, before directing his attention to the one he would come to know as Mad Max, "Why should I tell you, a simple peon, my plans for the Dragon Balls? It shouldn't be that hard to guess, but I understand that you Earthlings don't think very often.", he said, laughing to himself.

[Rob Halfordia]

Fighting in a place without the risk of hurt more civilians meant he didn't have to hold back. "Glad to see you're more reasonable then your dead companion. There's a desert west of here. Nothing there but bugs, heat and lizards." He said and flew up a bit. "Let's have a little bit of fun. I haven't actually had to try before." He said and took off towards the desert. "No offense. But outside of fighting, I know your kind is not terribly smart. I know you mentioned something about Dragon balls. Which meant that someone leaked intelligence. But I also know that your kind works for the PTO. For that freak of nature Frieza. My creators knew that at some point he would pop over to earth. An army of high powered mutants and metas would make a pretty penny."

Okarot smiled, "Lead the way.", he said as he also took off, flying after the human. One thing did bother him though. If he knew of Frieza, and the Planet Trade Organization, that could mean that he also knew of the Saiyan's trump card, the great ape transformation. But, even if he did, he couldn't know about the Power Ball technique. He would have to be careful here, as this Earthling could be interesting as far as power goes. He assumed that the Saibamen could clean up the mess that was back there, and after he defeated this human, the search for the Dragon Balls could begin.

As they came over the desert, the two stopped, landing on some rock formations. Okarot looked down at Alex, "As you know, my team now has a vacancy. I give you this one chance to join me. Think about it, together, we have enough power to crush that worm Frieza and take his place as ruler of the galaxy. You have this one opportunity to accept my gracious offer. Deny it, and you will die."

Think about it, together, we have enough power to crush that worm Frieza and take his place as ruler of the galaxy. You have this one opportunity to accept my gracious offer. Deny it, and you will die."

"That's actually a very tempting offer. We have plenty of people working for Frieza. He was one of the targets I was created to destroy. But that was well before I took a leave of absence. They likely would have removed the restraints on my powers if I were to go and destroy him. You said my power level at 20 percent was about 3000. That means in my current restrained state, my power level would be around 15,000. Frieza, if the information I have received is correct, at base has a power level around 550,000. Which can climb all the way up to 60 million." He said. "I could easily surpass that un-restrained. But to remove these barriers. I would need the help of a powerful psychic and a powerful magic user. I know of a psychic, but I do not know of any talented magic users. Help me find a way to rid myself of them. And I will ensure Frieza will die at your hands."

Okarot suddenly recoiled back. He had no idea the power Frieza wielded, but figured it must have something to do with his transformations, "60 million?! Are you sure?!", he said in a very surprised tone. But then a thought came across his head. How could he trust that this guy wouldn't betray him once he unlocked his power? It wasn't a risk he was willing to take, "If what you say is true, perhaps I should kill you right here and now, while I have the advantage. After all, once I become immortal, nobody will be able to stop me! Not even the God of Destruction will be able to match my skill in combat, as I will only get stronger from every battle. Then, I can realize the legend, and become a Super Saiyan!", he said, assuming a combat position, "So, consider this me redacting my offer."

Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded him, and he began laughing maniacally as his power began to shoot upwards sharply. Rocks began to rise and burst in midair, and the ground began shaking violently for miles around, until at least half of the Earth could feel the tremors. The sky darkened, and lightning began to fire from the black clouds as the power emanating from the Saiyan caused electricity in the atmosphere to be super charged. As Okarot's power increased more, the rock formations around them began to crumble, and his aura shot even higher into the sky.

But, all of a sudden his power halted, and his aura disappeared, and the ground stopped shaking. His power was now at least double that of Alex's, and he was pushing out 100%. He smiled as he suddenly disappeared, moving at incomprehensible speeds, and throwing an incredibly powerful punch at Alex.

[Rob Halfordia]

"Yes. I am certain. Guldo has been very helpful and everything he says thus far has been accurate to the let-" He was cut off by what appeared to be the Saiyan losing his mind. "What are you doing?! I know where the dragon balls-" He was cut off by being blown from the sky to the ground by the powerful blow. It was quite painful and he looked at the Saiyan from the ground. "How little you know about your boss Saiyan. How little you know about this world. I am not it's foremost defender. There are men quote literally millions of times more power than me." He smiled and his hands glowed bright yellow. "You're fast. Let's see if you're faster than light." Alex said and fired a flurry of blade constructs at the Saiyan.

Okarot barely managed to avoid some of the blades, and used Ki blasts to destroy the others. But, he also heard something that interested him. Panting heavily, he spoke once more, "What did you say? Guldo? You know that pathetic loser?", he said, with a new plan hatching in his head. Unfortunately, he would have to trust this guy in order for it to happen. His goal for coming here in the first place was to become powerful enough to face Frieza anyways, and this could be a good way. Looking somewhat annoyed, he knew the best course of action, "Alright, I'll trust you for now. It'll be a sort of you scratch my back, I'll scratch your's. You want to further your power, and even though I don't know any viable magic users, we can train. Well... there is one magic user... but he's a little different. He can certainly unleash your power, but there would be a price... no, we can't go to Babidi. Anyways, if we train together, you could become stronger, and so will I. And then, we can face Frieza. Each time we fight, we'll become stronger exponentially. Although, Earth is not the opportune place. It's gravity is too low, and I take it you don't want to hurt anyone, given that you're 'good' and all that nonsense. But, even if we do this, after Frieza is taken care of, I will destroy you as well.", he finished, grimly.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot suddenly grew angry as he listened to Alex talk. As if he could be beaten by this crossbred low class scum, "What, you think you're better than me?! Well, maybe, we should test that theory. I don't even need to transform to beat you.", he said, reacting poorly to Alex's bluff, "Let's see what you can do, and then maybe I'll believe you!", he yelled, as he shot up into the air. Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded him, and he cupped his hands together, focusing his energy and preparing a blast, "Consider this your test, if you survive fighting me, you win!", he screamed, before a blue ball of energy appeared in his hands.

[Rob Halfordia]

This was starting to get on his nerves. First the Saiyan asked Alex to join him. He agreed and then he turned on him. Then he agreed and turned on him again. "Make up your mind Saiyan! This is starting to annoy me! I don't like having my time wasted!" Then something hit him. Two things actually. The Ssaiyan wasn't going to kill him. It seemed to be closer to "mortally wound." He had information that the Saiyan needed. And the second thing. The Saiyan, currently, was more powerful than he was. But he was part Saiyan and has a unique healing factor. That blast had enough power to do some serious damage to him. Which meant when he was healed, not only would he be stronger, he would be angry. Which from experience, gave him quite the power boost.

"Go on then Okarot! Give me your best shot! For your sake, it had better kill me! Otherwise I am going to come back and beat you to death with your own arms!" Perhaps riling the Saiyan up wasn't the smartest idea. But if he caused too much damage to the planet, it wouldn't be worth selling AND he wouldn't be able to find the dragon balls. So he felt it was a safe-ish play.

Okarot was going to hold back, using this as a way to test the Earthling's durability. But now, after a few more threats, he went from a little pissed, to really pissed, "Alright you little insect, just for that, I'm going to crush you like the worm you are! Supernova Blast!", he shouted, firing a massive blue beam at Alex. It wasn't powerful enough to destroy the planet, but could cause massive damage if Alex didn't take the full brunt of the blast. Even then, the surrounding area would likely be left in ruin.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot smiled. That was almost too easy. He dropped down, landing next to the warrior, speaking despite knowing he could hear none of it, "Just as I suspected, big talk, but only talk, no action. You never stood a chance with me, especially if that was all it took. Putting on his scouter, he searched the nearby area to see if the guy had any friends in the area. Two very low power levels showed up, barely registering. Likely a ruse. Okarot called out to the mystery people, "Whoever's out there, quit hiding and be a man! Either you can come out and be granted a warrior's death, or I can scorch this desert and your cowardly hides with it!", he yelled, unamused by the hiding adversaries. How unbrave a tactic.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot glanced over at the charging enemies. Their power levels had increased marginally, to around 2000. Quite the jump, but, not nearly enough unfortunately. He smiled as he dodged the blasts, moving around Mach 40 and charging the one firing the blasts, the Saiyan suddenly appeared behind him, throwing a downward kick that would launch the Masaki into the ground if connected. Simultaneously, he threw a ball of energy with enough power to level half a continent, though not concentrated as not to actually blow up half the continent.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot was certainly enjoying himself. It wasn't often he got to enjoy a battle like this. So wonderfully relaxed and easy. But, he had places to be and things to do. He smiled as he prepared an immensely powerful attack in his right hand, "As much as I'd love to drag this out, I have immortality to attain. Just be glad knowing it took me to kill you.", he said as he cocked back his arm and prepared launch his attack. But then, something happened. A new power showed up on his scouter. He turned around to see what this new massive power was. The Earthling he thought he killed. He spoke with some fear and surprise, "But, I killed him! He couldn't heal that quickly!", he said, as the power continued to climb.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot couldn't speak, only recoil back in fear as the hybrid's power reached unbelievable proportions. The beam coming his way was too powerful to tank. Okarot put his hands together and cocked them back, forming a blue ball of energy before pushing it forward, creating a massive beam that pushed towards Alex's own. When the two collided, a they formed a massive orb of energy, sending an incredibly powerful shockwave to the surrounding area. While Okarot's beam surely was impressive, it just wasn't enough. Alex's beam continued to gain ground and eventually reached Okarot, absorbing the blast as the Saiyan was pushed into the sky by Alex's own attack.

Getting knocked out for a moment, he quickly woke up and came back to his senses, shuffling off of the beam as it pierced pierced the atmosphere and exploded. He panted out of tiredness. If he had been on only a second longer, he wouldn't be alive. But, he was exhausted now, and was sure a few of his bones were broken. That in combination with the fatigue that grew over him meant that even if Alex calmed down, he might not be able to win this way. But, as with almost all Saiyans, he has his ace in the hole. He could transform into the great ape, a form which Okarot found grotesque, but wasn't about to neglect.

Sinking back to the ground, he had a look of pure rage as he stared down Alex. But suddenly, he started smiling, and even laughing hysterically, "So, Earthling, you think you have me beat? Well, I can't help but notice your lack of a tail! How unfortunate that is, for you at least. Without a tail, you have been neglected one of the strongest powers in a Saiyan's arsenal.", he said, forming a ball of light in his hand as he began once again laughing, and throwing it into the sky before closing his fist, causing the light to burst open. A new, brighter light now illuminated the sky, and lit up the entire desert.

Okarot stared at it and laughed, "Now Earthling, prepare to be crushed both figuratively...", he said, beginning to grunt as his teeth began to grow long and sharp, and his skin began to grow fur. The Saiyan's power began to rise exponentially, as did his size. He began to grow a more apelike face, and his eyes become solid blood red. Eventually, he grew to the size of many of the rock formations around them, his armor growing as well. His power rose to 10x his original form topping off at 300,000. As the transformation was complete, he spoke in a deep and powerful voice, "And very literally!"

[Rob Halfordia]

The Saiyan ape was big, but he was also fast, and opened his mouth to fire a massive blast that could destroy the planet if aimed at the core. Thankfully, at it's trajectory, it would only leave a massive half pipe esque trail for a couple hundred miles. But, Alex was right that while Okarot had a clear advantage, the fight would not be a clean sweep, and it would likely end in either one of them or both of them unable to move. The biggest threat was that Alex might remove his tail, and Okarot knew that, so he remained constantly vigilant of his rear side.

The biggest threat was that Alex might remove his tail, and Okarot knew that, so he remained constantly vigilant of his rear side.

Alex with all of his might, put his hands in front of him and used his on energy to keep the beam from breaking. The Saiyan was certainly no push over, but then again. Neither was he. The blast pushed him back at least a mile before he managed to redirect it into the sky. It had burned his hands and his arms ached from doing what he just did, but he was far from done. Alex then flew back at the giant of monkey and stopped about one hundred feet from him. "That all you got big guy? Not all I got!" He said and glowed bright unleashing a barrage of hardened light shards, not just at Okarot, but at literally everything in the vicinity. Luckily they were far from any civilization which meant he was free to use his powers as much as he pleased.

The ape braced nearly instantaneously, and got pummeled by the light shards. There was no way to avoid the attack, and it certainly left its mark. Fortunately, because of his size, the shards didn't work to full effect. He began bleeding heavily from the areas they hit, and was not too happy about it, "You insignificant worm! You cut me! You're going to pay for that!", shouted as he stuck out his massive hands and began firing a hundreds of blasts from all of his fingers. Each of the blasts were capable of destroying a city if unconcentrated. While they would not home in on their target, they were definitely slightly attracted to Alex's general direction.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot began swinging wildly at the afterimages, unable to sense energy himself, he needed to rely mostly on his eyes. At the last moment, he heard Alex behind him, but by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. The beam had already been fired, and would incapacitate him with an direct hit. The great Saiyan ape jumped into the air to avoid it, unknowingly hanging his tail below him. Okarot released a massive scream as he fell back down to the ground, flat on his back. The beam had disintegrated his tail, and he quickly began shrinking back to normal size.

When he was back to normal, his wounds were amplified due to his smaller body, and the pain from loosing his tail was nearly unbearable. But, now he was pissed too. And Alex's strength was wearing away, now around Okarot's. The Saiyan got up, breathing heavily for a second, before screaming in anger at the top of his lungs, "YOU'RE DEAD! YOU AND THIS PLANET ARE GOING TO PAY FOR MY TAIL!", he yelled, as a massive shockwave of energy shot out around him, collapsing the rock formations around the battlefield. He charged Alex at Mach 40, throwing a volley of punches that could destroy the mass of a city.

[Rob Halfordia]

The blast came unexpected to Okarot, and he was sent flying backwards, and was heavily damaged. Landing hardly on his back, he tried to get up, but screamed in pain as his femur dislocated and he fell back down. Still in horrible pain, he reached into his armor and pulled out a remote device, and clicked a button on it, before dropping it on the ground and letting his arms fall. In a matter of seconds, his pod arrived, and he began crawling towards it, trying to reach it before Alex came to. The Saiyan needed to get to a healing pod quickly. He never expected that he would be defeated this quickly. But, he would become stronger than ever, as this was the worst he had ever been hurt. Crawling into his pod, the Saiyan smiled and spoke, unsure if Alex could even hear him, "Once I deal with Frieza, and his father and uncle, I'll be coming for you.", he said, before his pod closed and shot off into space.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot woke up in a healing pod, his memories of how he got there a blur, as he had gone unconscious in his pod. As he got out, he was given his new armor and told to take it easy by the doctor. He didn't plan on it, and began to make his way to the training room, when he overheard several soldiers. What they said shocked him. Frieza was on the planet Namek, collecting Dragon Balls. Okarot wasted no time as he ran to his pod, setting the coordinates. If Frieza attained immortality, it could be disastrous.

*fast forward slightly*

It was no time before he reached Namek, but he wasn't alone. He could sense others, not to mention that there were ships there that were clearly not of the PTO. But, his pod was too small and fast to intercept, so he felt safe. Crash landing on the planet, he exited the pod and immediately felt Frieza's presence. He Ginyu Force wasn't there, at least not yet.

But, he had other plans on his mind, and looked over to see what distinctly looked like a village. Perfect. Flying over, he was greeted with fear, as his armor was that of Frieza's men, and he assumed they had done their fair share of terrorizing. One of the more powerful villagers spoke up, "What do you want? Why have you come here?", he said, assuming a combat position.

Okarot smiled, "Don't play stupid, you overgrown slugs know why I'm here. There are two ways this can happen. Both end in me getting a Dragon Ball. Your lives however, are liable to either perish, or remain intact. Your choice.", he said arrogantly.

Three of the Namekians charged him, but found there hits striking each other. Confused, they looked up into the air, seeing Okarot, "Wrong choice.", he said, blasting the three warriors. All but a minute or so later, the village was in flames, and the occupants dead. Okarot emerged with a Dragon Ball in his hand. As long as he could keep this one hidden, Frieza wouldn't get his wish. He flew over to a cave across the river, and tossed the ball in. Now, he just had to pick off Frieza's goons one by one, along with whoever else showed up on the planet.

[Rob Halfordia]

Okarot was about to fly off to another village when he felt several high powers, seemingly fighting each other. Likely over one of the Dragon Balls. So, if most of Frieza's goons were out fighting... and Frieza was in a village, at least from what he could tell... that meant... that meant...

Okarot suddenly shot off of the ground, a blue aura blazing behind him. Several relatively high power levels that didn't seem to be fluctuating were all in one spot. About ten in total. And just as Okarot suspected, it was Frieza's ship. It was open for he taking, all his! Such a golden opportunity!

Several soldiers patrolled the outside of the ship, making casual small talk while Frieza was away. Suddenly, one of them seemed to explode. The others recoiled in terror as Okarot landed, sticking their blasters at him, "Hey! What... what do you think you're doing Okarot! Why did you kill that soldier?! Why are you even here?!", they shouted.

Okarot smiled, "Well, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by and pick up some Dragon Balls. You're not using them, right?", he said before laughing, "And I wouldn't try to stop me, or your deaths will be much slower.", he said, as he stuck out his hand and fired a rapid fire blast at the rest of the guards.

Suddenly, a rather feminine voice sounded behind him, a voice that stopped Okarot in his tracks, "And I had such high hopes for you. Your father was just like you, but I thought you could break your monkey ways. But, it's time for consequences. Just know when I do this, I do it because you've left me know choice."

Okarot began to speak, "Lord Friez-", he managed to get out before he was knocked out by a neck chop from the galactic tyrant.

Frieza looked over to his minion Zarbon, "Go stick him in one of the healing pods. I don't want him dead just yet."

[Rob Halfordia]

Appule sat outside of the healing chamber that contained Okarot. He had sustained massive damage to his spinal cord, fortunately, the newer model of healing pod was able to heal it quickly. And, his power had increased marginally. It was now a little less than double what it was before, nearing 90,000. And, he was just about feeling better. Appule looked up at the sign of movement. The last thing he would ever see.

Suddenly, an explosion rocked the ship. Frieza looked over at Zarbon, "Zarbon! Who did you leave guarding him!", he shouted angrily, as they rushed to look outside of the room hey we're standing in, to see Appule dead in the mostly destroyed hallway, "Appule?! You left Appule with Okarot?!", he screamed.

Zarbon responded quickly and somewhat defensively, "I thought he could handle it!", he yelled, terrified of what Frieza might do.

Frieza yelled back at Zarbon, "Dammit Zarbon, you will be punished for this!", the tyrant screamed angrily, "I have to make a call.", he said, patching through a transmission to Captain Ginyu, "Ginyu, we need you here! Hurry the Hell up and get to planet Namek!"

Meanwhile, Okarot stormed into the room where they were keeping the Dragon Balls, blasting a hole through the window, laughing as he tossed five of the balls out of the ship, counting as he did, "One, two three, four, five!", he shouted, before he took off, flying out of the ship and to where he threw the Dragon Balls. His shots where pretty accurate too, as he managed to get them near the village he destroyed, and hid them in the cave with the other one. That left only one more ball.

And what do you know, another person seemed to be nearby, someone of decent power. He crossed his fingers as he approached, and when he saw the ball in the person's hands, he nearly couldn't believe it. Stopping right in front of the one he would come to know as Hiroshi, he smiled, sticking out his hand, "Well hello there. That's a nice Dragon Ball you've got. Mind if I hold onto it?"

Okarot grew annoyed with Hiroshi, and could easily solve this issue, but didn't want to flare up his power and give away his position, "Listen you insubordinate insect, your best course of action would be to simply hand over that ball. You don't want me to get angry. Because, if I have to fight and kill you, which I will, Frieza will find out where I am, and he'll have another Dragon Ball. Do you want that?", he asked, trying to persuade Hiroshi.

Okarot smiled as he got the Dragon Ball, suddenly thinking he sensed a small power near the cave where he kept the Dragon Balls, but it it was only there for a few seconds, so it was probably just his mind playing tricks on him. Nothing to worry about. Ignoring whatever Hiroshi said as the would be adversary blasted off, "That's right, go kill some house plants or something!", he shouted, laughing to himself as he flew off, back towards the village.

He began talking to himself as he entered the cave, "God I love it when a plan comes together. I worked hard, got the shit beaten out of me a few times, but now, immortality is at hand! I will become the strongest in the universe.", he mumbled, approaching the spot in he cave with the Dragon Balls, and tossing down the one he had, "Alrighty, one, two, three, four, five, six, annnnd... where is it? Where the hell is it? Where is the seventh ball? It couldn't have gone anywhere. Alright, I'll close my eyes, and when I open them, it'll be right here- it's not here. Where is it?! How could it have... hold on a minute! That was someone I sensed! Somebody was here! Which means... Which MEANS!"

All of a sudden, he heard Tabaga's voice in his head, "They toooook the Dragon Balls."

Suddenly, an incredible scream began emanating from the cave, and Okarot blasted out, his eyes solid white, and a massive aura trailing behind him as he took off in the direction the power he had felt before, still screaming in absolute rage and his power fluctuating to massive heights.

Suddenly, the screaming grew closer and closer to Mad Max and the group around him, a massive power getting closer and closer. Okarot out of seemingly nowhere appeared in front of them, moving so fast it was hard to see his approach. His eyes were bloodshot and he stammered angrily as he spoke, "D-D-Dragon Balls... where... where are th-they.", he said, his aura flaring around him.
