Chapter 10: The Namekians' Request
Trunks piloted the ship, bringing it in for a landing. He found a nice flat area devoid of any inhabitants, animal or otherwise. Upon landing, 18 was the first to exit the ship, looking around the new planet curiously.
“Seems similar to Earth.” She commented. She glanced up at the sky. “Well, except for the green sky. You know, it’s strange, I never would have imagined going to another planet.”
“It’s not that big of a deal for me.” Trunks told her. “After traveling back in time, going to another planet just doesn’t seem as thrilling.”
“Whatever. So where do you suppose the Dragon Balls are?” She glanced into the horizon. “I sense a really powerful source of energy over there. Maybe we should check it out; whoever it is might have a Dragon Ball.”
Trunks turned on the dragon radar. “Hmm, it does say there’s one in that direction, but there’s another one closer this way. Lets stop there first.”
18 shrugged. “Doesn’t really matter to me. You know, I’m actually rather excited about seeing the eternal dragon. You’ve seen it before, haven’t you?”
“The earth’s dragon, yes. Not the Namekian one. Mom said he’s different from Shenron. She also said he was kind of cute.”
18 raised an eyebrow. “Kind of cute? Somehow I can’t see a giant alien dragon as being cute.”
“I admit, when it comes to Mom’s taste, we do have different opinions. But regardless of what he looks like, he’s the only one that can help us. So, you ready to go?”
18 took to the sky. “Waiting on you.”
With the dragon radar as a guide, Trunks and 18 headed for the closet Dragon Ball. It was several miles away from where they landed, but they reached the location in a matter of minutes. Soon they were hovering over a small village, inhabited by several green-skinned, pointy-eared people.
As they landed, several tough looking Nameks came forward, taking on fighting stances. “Who are you?” one of them demanded. “Why have you come to our village?”
18 glanced at Trunks. “I thought your mother said they were friendly. They sure don’t look friendly.”
“Let me handle this.” Holding up his hands, Trunks cautiously approached the Namekians. “We mean you no harm. We’re visitors from planet Earth.”
The expressions on the Nameks’ faces changed from hostile to surprise. “Earth? You’re from Earth?”
Trunks nodded. “Yes, my name is Trunks Brief. I believe you know my mother, Bulma Brief.”
“You’re her son?” asked another Namek.
“Yes, and we’ve come to you for help.”
“Stand down, all of you.” came an elderly voice. An older Namek stepped forward from the crowd, brushing past the hostile Nameks. “The people of Earth are our friends. Bulma especially. We owe a great deal of gratitude to her and her people.” He turned to Trunks and gave him a smile. “You must forgive them for their behavior. They are merely being cautious.”
Trunks just waved it off. “Perfectly understandable.”
The old Namekian stepped forward and shook Trunks’ hand. “So, you’re the son of Bulma. I must say that it is an honor to meet you. I am the elder. My name is Moori.”
Trunks smiled at the familiar name. “Yes, my mother told me about you. It’s good to finally meet you.”
“You as well, my son.” He glanced at 18. “And who’s your companion?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s 18.”
The android pointed an accusing finger at the old Namek. “Don’t even think about making fun of my name.”
Moori chuckled. “Would never dream of it. Any friend of Miss Bulma is a friend of ours. On behalf of all of us, I bid you welcome.”
The Namekians immediately warmed up to the two of them. Regardless of their uneasy meeting, it seemed that Bulma was right about the Nameks being a peaceful and friendly race.
“It’s been so long since we’ve seen or heard from our friends from Earth.” Moori commented. “Tell me, how is everyone doing?”
Trunks frowned. “That’s actually why we’re here. You see, Earth is in a bit of trouble, and we were hoping you would be able to help us.”
Moori nodded. “But of course, we’ll help in anyway we can. Tell us what the problem is.”
Trunks sighed. “Ok, it’s like this. Several years ago, there was a man named Dr. Gero. He was a complete genius, but also a total madman. He spent his whole life creating these super powerful android warriors. And then he unleashed them on the world.” He glanced at 18. “She’s one of them, and her brother was the other. And for the next several years, he terrorized the planet, killing everyone in his path.”
The Namekians seemed surprised by this news. “That’s terrible.” One of them commented.
“Couldn’t Goku stop him?” asked another.
Trunks hung his head. “No, unfortunately he got sick and died from a terrible heart virus. After that, all of our friends fell. Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Gohan, everyone. They were all killed.”
There were shocked cries of outrage upon hearing news of their friends’ deaths. The thought of the mighty Z Warriors falling was just dreadful.
“This android,” said Moori, “he’s stronger than Frieza?”
Trunks nodded. “Much stronger. I spent my whole life trying to defeat him. And a few months ago, I finally managed to destroy him. But…” he hesitated, “but the planet is still in ruin, and millions of innocent people have lost their lives. Ordinarily we would use the Dragon Balls to fix things, but with Piccolo dead, the Dragon Balls are useless. So we came to ask if we could use your Dragon Balls to revive our friends and restore the damage done to Earth.”
The Namekians glanced at each other, looking concerned. Some began whispering uncomfortably while others looked just plain worried. Trunks glanced at 18, but she just shrugged, indicating that she didn’t know what the problem was.
“Is something wrong?” he asked.
Moori hesitated. “Actually, yes, we do have a problem. It’s not that we’re unwilling to help you. On the contrary, we’d be happy to let you use our Dragon Balls. You see…” he glanced at his people, “we’re in a bit of a bind ourselves. For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been under attack. That’s why some of use were being wary of you at first.”
A concerned look crossed over Trunks’ face. “Why? What’s going on?”
The elder Namek sighed. “Not too long ago, a monster came to our planet and has been terrorizing our people. This monster is more powerful than our strongest of warriors. It destroys our villages and devours our people. And the worst part is that the more of us this monster devours, the stronger it becomes.”
Trunks frowned in disgust. “That’s horrible.”
“Couldn’t you just have used the Dragon Balls to get rid of it?” 18 asked as if this should have been obvious.
Moori sighed again. “We would have, but when it first attacked, it swallowed one of the Dragon Balls. So we’re unable to collect all seven in order to summon the dragon.”
Trunks crossed his arms. This was a problem. He hadn’t considered the possibility of having to fight for the Dragon Balls. Then again, how tough could this monster be? Maybe to these people, but he should be able to handle it easily enough; he was the strongest person in the universe.
“What kind of monster is it?” he asked curiously.
Moori closed his eyes. “We don’t know. It just showed up one day and began its rampage. All we know about it is its name.” His eyes opened, revealing the anger he felt towards the creature that had been attacking his people. “The monster’s name is Luud.”
Trunks raised an eyebrow. “Luud?” He glanced at 18, but she just shook her head, indicating that she was just as clueless as he was. “Never heard of it.”
“It’s Lord Luud to be precise.” Moori explained. “When it came to our planet, it had several followers that were worshipping it as a god. But Luud eventually turned on them as well and devoured them all. Now only the beast remains, and we’re powerless to stop it.” He looked desperately at Trunks. “Please, young one. I can sense much power in you. I beg you to help us defeat this monster. Rid us of this Luud character, and we will gladly allow you to use our Dragon Balls.”
Trunks gave him a thumbs up. “Hey, no problem. Just leave it to use. This Luud guy is toast.”
18 looked in the direction of the incredible power source she had sensed when they first exited the ship. “I wonder if it’s that power I felt earlier. It certainly seems like the strongest one on the planet.”
Moori nodded, walking up beside 18 and looking in the direction she was staring in. “Yes, that’s the beast all right. I would know that evil energy anywhere.”
18 cracked her knuckles. “Well then, we’d better get a move on. You ready, Trunks?”
The elder Namek gave her a worried look. “Forgive me for saying so, but I don’t think you’ll be a match for him. His power is enormous while I can’t sense yours at all.”
18 just chuckled. “That’s normal. I am an android after all. My power can’t be detected.”
Trunks nodded. “It’s true. She’s actually stronger than I am as a Super Saiyan.”
“You’re a Super Saiyan?” several Nameks cried.
“But how can that be?” asked Moori. “Aside from Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, all other saiyans were wiped out by Frieza many years ago.”
Trunks nodded. “I know. I’m actually only half-saiyan like Gohan. Bulma was my mother, and Vegeta was my father.”
“You’re father?”
“That mad man is your father?”
“How do we know we can trust the son of Vegeta?”
Moori glared at his people. “That’s enough out of all of you! Yes it’s true that Vegeta wronged us in the past, but he may have turned over a leave. Don’t forget, he lived with us on Earth for several months and never harmed anyone. And I trust Bulma’s judgment.” He glanced at Trunks. “Although I never would have imagined that she and Vegeta would have ended up together.”
Trunks blushed slightly. “Yes, I’m sure it was… unexpected.”
“But regardless of how Vegeta turned out,” Moori continued, “one does not choose who their parents are. I sense much good in you, young Trunks. Therefore you have my trust. Would you be willing to help us defeat Luud?”
Trunks smirked. “Consider it done.”

As Trunks and 18 headed for the massive power source, they were led by Biyakuyo, one of the Nameks that had nearly attacked them when they first arrived. He had apologized for the unfriendly greeting and for nearly attacking them.
“We were afraid you were some of Luud’s followers.” Biyakuyo explained.
Trunks just waved it off. “No apologizes necessary. I’d be cautious too if I were in your position.”
Biyakuyo nodded. “Thank you for understanding. And please be sure not underestimate this beast. It’s more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
18 glanced at him. “Are you sure you want to come?”
The Namekian nodded again. “I can sense how powerful you are, but believe me when I tell you that this creature is stronger.”
‘Even more so than when I’m a Super Saiyan?’ Trunks wondered doubtfully. ‘Well, I’ll find out soon enough. We’re close now.’
Coming upon the massive power level they sensed, the three warriors hovered in the air. Beneath them was large cave that seemed to be the source of the power.
“It’s in that cave?” 18 asked. “Did it sense us coming and go hide?”
Biyakuyo shook his head. “I doubt it. Based upon how suppressed its energy is, I’d say it’s sleeping.”
Trunks felt a chill run up his spine. ‘It’s producing this much power while it sleeps? It must be really strong.’
The three landed outside the cave. From deep within the darkness, the sound of a massive creature snoring could be heard.
“On my mark.” Biyakuyo told them, powering up. “Let him have it!”
The three of them fired blasts of energy into the cave. A loud roar was heard from within, indicating that they had hit their target. The energy blasts went straight through the cave, blowing open the back, making it an easy walk straight through.
“Is that it?” 18 asked.
Trunks shook his head. “I don’t think so. It’s still producing too much energy.” A bead of sweat ran down his cheek. “And it’s getting bigger.”
18 took a fighting stance. “I’d prefer a face-to-face battle.”
Trunks couldn’t help but to grin. ‘So very much like a saiyan.’
The ground shook as the creature’s massive feet came crashing down. From out of the darkness, an enormous hand grasped the cave wall and Lord Luud emerged.
To say Trunks was surprised was an understatement. This Luud monster wasn’t anything like he expected. It towered over about fifty feet high, but it looked like an infant devil. It was pudgy with yellow-green skin and it had a child-like pout on its face. It also looked mechanical, like it was a machine or a doll rather than an actual monster.
“That’s Luud?” Trunks asked. “He’s big, but he doesn’t look so tough.”
“He’s kind of cute.” 18 commented. “In a creepy sort of way.”
“Don’t underestimate him.” Biyakuyo told her. “He has an immense power at his disposal.”
Luud looked down at them with his beady yellow eyes. His hands clenched together and a low growl emitted form him. Suddenly he roared loudly, his cry causing the ground to shake. Then he lunged at them, his large fist flying towards them.
“Go!” Biyakuyo cried, and they took to the air.
Luud’s fist slammed into the ground, narrowly missing them. Then his head turned completely around, his mouth opening wide. A blast of energy erupted from his mouth, flying towards the three of them. They once again barely got out of the way in time.
“That was unexpected.” Said 18. “His head turned completely around.”
“He’s surprisingly mobile.” Biyakuyo explained.
Luud’s head turned forward again and he looked up at them. His arms began spinning in a very machine-like fashion and he charged at them. They moved away from his spinning fists, but he kept at them. Suddenly he began launching blasts of energy at them from his rotating arms, each blast causing a massive explosion.
“He’s going to destroy the planet if this keeps up.” Said 18.
Trunks glared at the monster. “Right, enough of this.”
He suddenly appeared in front of Luud’s face, surprising the monster. Trunks’ fist collided with the spot where Luud’s nose should have been. The monster went crashing down on its rear end.
“Now take this.”
Doing some fancy hand movements, Trunks shot off a Burning Attack. Luud didn’t bother to dodge the attack. However, he seemed completely unaffected by it. His arms came flying up, his hands smacking together as if Trunks were a fly he was trying to swat. The saiyan just flew up out of its range.
18 appeared behind Luud and delivered a kick to the back of his head. The monster just grunted, then turned his head around and fired another blast of energy from its mouth.
Swearing, 18 fired her own blast of energy. But Luud’s attack easily knocked hers aside, forcing 18 to avoid the blast. Luud got to his feet and charged at her. As 18 dodged away from his flying fists, Biyakuyo flew over his head and brought his elbow crashing down. Luud grunted as the Namek’s elbow slammed into his head, knocking him down.
“He doesn’t seem to smart.” 18 noted.
Biyakuyo just growled. “What he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for with brute strength.”
Still lying face-down, Luud’s head turned around and he shot beams of energy from his eyes. Sensing that the attack wasn’t that powerful, 18 got ready to knock it aside.
“Look out!” Biyakuyo shouted.
His arm stretched out several feet and grabbed 18, pulling her back. Luud’s attack missed, but unfortunately, Biyakuyo had ended up grabbing her hair.
Pulling away, 18 turned angrily to the Namek. “Ow! What was that for?”
“You’ll thank me later.” He told her. “You do not want to make contact with his eye laser attack.”
Luud got to his feet. He roared loudly and began rotating his arms again. 18 and Biyakuyo braced themselves, but Trunks flew in front of them.
“Stand back.” He told them. “I’ll handle this.”
And then he transformed. Biyakuyo gasped at his sudden increase of power. “What… happened?”
Trunks smirked. “I’ll deal with this freak.”
Luud charged at them, his arms spinning like helicopter blades. Trunks didn’t bother to move. He merely caught the monster’s spinning arm. No matter how hard Luud pushed, the saiyan wouldn’t budge.
“Now it’s my turn to attack.” Trunks told him.
Vanishing from beneath Luud’s fist, he appeared directly in front of him. Luud grunted and groaned as Trunks delivered several rapid punches to his chest, following up with a powerful blast of energy. Luud went down, crashing into one of the many large rock formations that covered the land.
“Incredible.” Said Biyakuyo. “I’ve heard of the power of a Super Saiyan, but I never imagined it was this great.”
Trunks grinned. “Yeah, this guy’s no match for me.”
Luud got to his feet. He stared at Trunks for a few moments, seeming to come to a decision. Then he roared loudly, pounding his fists against his chest.
“What’s with him?” 18 asked.
Biyakuyo was slightly more worried. “I have a bad feeling about this.”
A powerful energy aura surrounded Luud as he began to power up. All three gasped as Luud’s energy skyrocketed. His body turned blood red as his power soured past levels that not even Trunks could fathom.
(A/N: Yes, Biyakuyo is the original character I mentioned, but he'll only be a minor character. The new enemy is Luud, who, in my opinion, was quite a formidable foe, that even gave Goku a hard time. And before you ask, no, there won't be only GT enemies turning up in this story. I'm also planning to have at least one or two villains from the movies show up. So tell me who you would like to see. I'm afraid that Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Lord Slug, and Cooler won't be showing up since they were defeated before the androids ever appeared. Broly was defeated as well, but he's still alive, frozen in ice, so he's a possibility, which means Bio-Broly is as well. Bojack is also an option. So is Meta-Cooler, Android 13, 14, 15, Janemba, Hirudegarn, Dr. Raichi and Hatchyack, even Abo and Kado, although they wouldn't be much of a challenge. So leave me a review, and tell me who you would like to see. I make no promises that who you vote for will show up, but your opinions certainly help me make a decision.)
