Clare-Stovold: If this chapter happened to be sloppy or rushed, then I apologise... I'm stalling because I can't remember what happens next in the series!

A/N: Chapter 13... Unlucky number!

DBZ: And I Thought It Was Fictional!

Gohan covered himself with a blanket unconsciously as he shivered in his sleep; although it was never night time on Namek, the fighters were still tired after looking non-stop for the Dragon Balls for about seven hours. The sky still showed that continuous green colour. Finally, Gohan sat up and rubbed his eyes, a frown upon his face. The young boy sighed and pulled the blanket up to his neck.

"Can't sleep?"

Gohan looked up and smiled at Danterik who was sitting up-right against a rock, drawing random symbols in the ground with a stick he'd found nearby.

"No, I can't... it's hard to sleep in the middle of daylight", Gohan murmured, pulling the blanket off him and shimmying over to where Danterik was.

"Is that the only problem?" Danterik asked, raising an eyebrow. Gohan frowned a bit.

"No... I'm worried about my dad; I don't know when he'll get here."

Danterik smiled a bit, "Don't worry, Gohan, he always shows up in the nick of time", he replied with a wink. Gohan grinned at Danterik and looked up at the sky, though his eyes widened when he saw two figures fly past considerably fast, a trail of Chi left behind them.

"Who was that?" Gohan asked, slightly panicky. Danterik had noticed the figures too and his eyes narrowed. 'Was that... Zarbon and Dadoria?' he wondered to himself.

"Just stay down and hidden, it was lucky they didn't spot us", Danterik replied and threw the stick at Clare, who growled when it hit her. She sat up and scowled at Danterik, "Hey! I'm trying to sleep!"

"Shut up, Clare! I think Zarbon and Dadoria just flew over", he hushed his voice when he spoke, so that only Clare could hear him. Clare blinked and then her eyes widened.

"Not those two ugly things! Oh great..." she muttered and sighed, "Perhaps they're after Vegeta and Meegan."

Danterik nodded, "Like I said, we should stay hidden, we can't take any chances."

Clare nodded, "I'll wake the others so we can be on guard."

"Company!" Meegan muttered as she took a fighting stance at the incoming energy signals.

Vegeta growled as they landed, also in fighting stance.

"Vegeta, how pleasant to see you here. And Meegan, how could I forget?" Zarbon spoke, smirking. Meegan rolled her eyes at the imbecile; he chuckled, only ticking her off further.

That was until Vegeta started laughing, the two enemies raised an eyebrow at him in confusion.

"What are you laughing at, Vegeta?" Dadoria asked, spitting his name is disgust. Meegan was also smirking at this time as well; These idiots obviously don't notice that we're suppressing our power level, Meegan thought, casting a glance at Vegeta who was smirking evilly at the two.

"You obviously have no idea of the extent of our power", Vegeta spoke, eyes narrowed. Zarbon and Dadoria glanced at each other with a smirk.

"Vegeta, I see your over-confidence in yourself will be your downfall", Zarbon spoke, before turning back to Dadoria, "Dadoria, why don't you go find the Dragon Balls, you're not needed. I can easily defeat these delinquents single-handedly."

Dadoria snorted and rolled his eyes, "Alright Zarbon, try and hurry up with them though, you can kill Vegeta but Frieza wants us to bring Meegan to him, alive." Meegan growled at this, That bloody Ice-jin is going straight to HFIL next time I see him, she thought. Dadoria took off, a trail of chi left behind him.

Gohan, Krillin, Clare and Danterik had managed to gather the three remaining Dragon Balls whilst on the down-low side. They really didn't need another enemy to slow them down; Frieza was bad enough but his henchmen were just time-stalling gits.

"We need a password", Danterik muttered without thinking, and Gohan, Krillin and Bulma looked up with frowns upon their faces.

"Huh? How do you know?" Bulma asked suspiciously. Danterik twitched as he realised he'd said something he wasn't meant to know until later-on.

"Uhh, well, you know... Meegan mentioned it back on the ship... I don't know how she knew so you'll have to ask her some time", Danterik lied with a sly grin. Clare chuckled a bit but she paled suddenly when she felt a stronger power level shooting towards them, they four turned suddenly and Bulma wondered what was going on.

"Bulma, hide!" Krillin warned, and Bulma did so without question, fearing another enemy.

Clare growled as the figure closed in and she cursed in her head when she recognised him. Crap! Dadoria! Couldn't it have been someone who didn't look so ugly? She thought to herself with a frustrated growl.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Dadoria asked mockingly. Gohan and Krillin guarded the Dragon Balls whilst Clare and Danterik guarded them.

"Hand over the Dragon Balls and no one gets hurt", Dadoria stated with a sick smirk.

"Over my dead body", Danterik muttered.

"That can be arranged."

"Ugh, that is so cliché", Clare muttered with a roll of her eyes, bracing herself as the enemy charged.

Talos, Topaz and Goku trained continuously in the back garden of Capsule Corporation, waiting for Dr. Briefs to finish the space-ship they would travel in to help their friends on Namek; thankfully it wasn't far away.

"I'VE DONE IT!" Dr. Briefs yelled happily, causing all three Saiyans to halt in mid-sparring session.

"What? You've completed the space ship?" Talos asked, surprised.

"That's right!"

"Is it ready to use?" Topaz asked.

"Yes!"

"LET'S GO!" Goku yelled, rushing to the space ship entrance.

"Wait!" Dr. Briefs yelled. Everyone paused.

"What!?" Talos asked impatiently.

"You need your space suits!"

"Oh..."

Every day that draws closer I will continue to come out here and train until midnight arrives, I cannot afford to waste a moment if I want to be strong enough to take them on...

The girl with sharp blue eyes and long curly hair continued her endless training, her power slowly increasing per day. No, she couldn't afford to waste time.

Sweat dripped from her forehead as the sun beat down upon her; her throat was dry, but she couldn't care less, she must train... she must be stronger...

I am Lyra, I will not fail!

A/N: (Grins) The new person's name has been revealed! Lyra meaning 'lyre' – which also means "a plucked string instrument associated with ancient Greece" ... such as a Harp :P

Lyra: WOOT! I'm finally there! Yey!
