A/N Hi guys, I'm back from the dead! Another update for you here, I hope you all enjoy it!

Remember to let me know what you think in the review section!

Raditz walked into the large white alien building, retaining a cool demeanour as he looked around the interior. It was of a strange design, one of that even he, throughout his travels in the galaxy had never seen before, everything seemed so... circular.

The namekian warrior, who was refusing to show even an inkling of an emotion, tilted his head upwards. "Up" he said, with a calm professional vibe, as he slowly began to levitate upwards, towards a large hole in the ceiling of the room. Raditz kept his eyes fixated on the warrior, examining his every movement in case he was decided (Against his own, better judgement) to suddenly lash out in aggression towards him. However, something in Raditz told him that this observation was ultimately, unneeded. With the powers that Raditz was able to gain on earth, he could feel things that he had never of even dreamed beforehand, it's felt akin to having an extra limb that could sense another's own spirit energy, and this namek seemed at peace with himself, a pacifist to an extent, but by no means a pushover at any stretch of the imagination. A twinge of disgust made it's way onto the brutish fighters expression. When he ended Vegeta, who was recovering inside the healing tank, he felt no such spirit inside the prince. All he felt was malice and discontent, the ambition of power flowing through his dark, twisted soul, it reminded him of himself in many ways.

The saiyan decided to follow suit, and began to follow the namekian through the hole in the ceiling. Before being able to see the interior of the room he was entering, he heard the namek mention something to somebody in the room. "Master, I think I may have found and ally in our struggle" he mentioned with attentive loyalty, as Raditz came into view.

What the saiyan saw, was something he wasn't expecting in the least.

Sitting in, what seemed to be a throne, before the namekian, was a great, massive, old member of their species, he must have been over 10 times the size of the namekian warrior that had brought Raditz into the chamber. Raditz almost gasped in surprise at the appearance of the large looking elderly creature, an obese and ancient individual who looked down upon the saiyan with judging eyes, that was if he was even looking, he seemed like he was at such an advanced age his eyes seemed like they were closed, was he even awake? Or alive at that? In any case the elderly namek sat his large rump upon the pale throne, the colour keeping in theme with the overall building, and had a number of white spikes protruding from either side. The elder seemed to be dressed in similar garb to the warrior who had led the saiyan into his vicinity, just with a pink looking cloak behind him, and a massive, white shirt to cover his almighty belly.

"Thank you, Nail" he replied to the green warrior, his voice retaining a deep and soothing tone that echoed throughout the circular design of the massive room the two fighters stood within. "You made the right judgement in bringing him to me" he began to smile, as his head moved over so slightly in the direction of Raditz, who was now standing next to the namek named 'Nail'. Raditz in turn, looked up towards the elderly alien, an unknowing expression upon his face, before his gaze was drawn to behind the behemoth. Perched on top of the wide throne, was an orange coloured ball that gleamed in the sunlight coming through the single, massive window parallel to the throne in the room. The orange ball glistened, but with Raditz's perception, he was able to notice a single star directly in the middle triumphantly, this made him raise his eyebrow, but before any more consideration could be given, the elder broke his train of thought. "You've come a long way, and have travelled down many roads it seems" The elder was no longer smiling, as Raditz quickly shifted his gaze to his wide looking wrinkly face. "What gives you that impression?" he replies, his tail moving through the air behind him, as he gave a smug smile in return. "Some roads I feel better left untravelled, saiyan" the elder quickly added, catching Raditz off guard. "So, you're familiar with the saiyans?" Raditz proudly stated after a brief moment of silence.

The massive namek let out a large sigh. "Of course, stories of the saiyans used to be used to scare little namekian children, but that was the past. Now, the saiyans are no more" the elder ended in a sorrowful tone. This once again put Raditz off guard, the elder was definitely intelligent, even if immobile. "You're looking at the last saiyan in the entire galaxy, my name is Raditz!" he proudly introduced himself, pointing his thumb to himself, retaining his smug expression, "I killed all three of the four remaining saiyans when I won the Battle of Earth, now I'm the only one left!". "And you are proud of this distinction?" The elder retorted. "Knowing that you, yourself committed genocide of your own species?". Raditz looked visibly distressed, giving a frustrated 'Tch' in response, but remained quiet as the elder continued to speak. "My name is Guru, I am the eldest namek on the planet, and the patriarch of my people. It is my duty to lead them in times of peace and times of hardship... though I am failing". Raditz rolled his eyes in response, folding his arms smugly in a non-caring manner. "I expect you may have heard, the evil tyrant, Frieza is on the planet, murdering what few namekians there are left... I fear it's only a matter of time before we are all gone..." Guru began to cough, his throat sounding rusty and decrepit, to witch Raditz seemed to be listening attentively too. "The fighter you are standing next too, Nail, is the strongest fighter on the planet. If you two were to fight, I feel like he would have the upper hand after an extended period of time".

"What?!" Raditz responded, clenching his fist towards Guru, what quickly drew Nail into a fighting position. "I'm even stronger than Freiza! Let alone this green goon" he proudly proclaimed, once again letting his arrogance get the better of him. Guru giggled in response, "Put your ego aside for one moment, you two fighting would solve nothing, and would be nothing but a detriment for either of you".

Nail began to back down from Raditz, standing up straight once more, as Raditz himself began to regain his composure and lower his temper. After the air grew less intense, Guru decided to continue his lecture, "Despite the many differences in spirit alignment between you two, I believe an alliance is necessary". Nail turned his head off of Raditz for the first time since the talking had began, his mouth agape in shock. "But, master? I have to stay here to..." Nail tried to explain, but Guru interjected, "No, It's too late for me, but not for the namekian race. You are our best hope, Nail" he solemnly frowned. "As for the saiyan, I know he's opposed to Frieza, as you wouldn't of let him enter my presence otherwise..." his speech began to trail off slightly.

"So? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?" Nail asked, his hands on his hips. "Correct" Guru confirmed, as he turned his head to Raditz. "And, what do you think of this proposition, saiyan? I must lay down a few prerequisites before allowing you two to leave".

Raditz placed his hand on his chin, pondering his options, as he looked back and forth between the two. "Well, I also have a few terms of this so called 'alliance' before I accept" Raditz demanded, to witch Guru nodded his head in affirmation "Speak them".

"Firstly, I'm curious to know what that ball is, sitting behind your head over there" Raditz smiled, pointing to the object in question. "Ah. I was going to mention this..." Guru confirmed, moving one of his massive, oak tree like arms around the back of his head, picking up the orange ball. "This is a dragonball, one of the seven that must be gathered before making a wish, they represent wisdom and power, though Freiza views them only as a tool to serve his own vile greed".

"In that case" Raditz mentions, walking towards Guru slightly, as Nail watched his every movement. "Wouldn't it be in 'our' best interest to hide it? Keeping it here with you is like placing a target directly onto head? Right?" Raditz asked, to witch Guru mumbled in response. "I was going to suggest something similar. You only need to keep a single ball away from Frieza in order to stop his ability to abuse their power. I shall give the ball to both of you, but please, hide it well" Guru extended his arm to Raditz, in witch he happily collected the ball from the elder.

"In order to defeat Frieza, you will need to have as much power as you can possibly muster, and I can sense some... untapped potential inside of you" Guru said confidently. "Master! Is that wise?" Nail took a step forward "Unlocking his potential would mean...". "Yes..." Guru confirmed, "He would be stronger than you... That is why I must ask you to promise to harm no Namekian, that is a requirement of this alliance and the boost of power. I know this is risky Nail, but I fear this may be our last chance..."

Raditz smiled, though looked slightly puzzled, "You can increase my power?" Guru once again nodded, "But please, you must promise. I know the temperament of a saiyan can be rather... unruly?". Raditz cautiously nodded, as Guru pointed to the left side of his throne. "Then please, walk up to my throne". Raditz walked toward the pale seat, as he stood still and looked up. Guru looked even larger up close than what he did at a distance, Raditz had to tilt his neck backward all the way in order to see the alien's face. "Now please, stand still. I shall unlock the the potential within. Please remain calm and clear your mind.

A great big green hand eclipsed the face of Guru, as the hand was placed on Raditz's head. Radtiz paused for a moment, before scowling "Is there a point to this or what?" He said impatiently, before feeling something...

Guru's hand began to flow with some type of energy. Not an aggressive type of energy of any kind... but rather... a strange energy that seemed to be acting in a completely different manner. Suddenly, as if an electric pulse flowed through him like a conduit, Raditz felt the foreign energy surge through his body, making him stand with his mouth agape, as he felt himself being charged up, similar to a battery.

The saiyan quickly jumped backwards defensively. "What's the big idea? What did you do?" He blurted out hurriedly, before clenching his right hand repeatedly. He felt different, more agile, strong and capable. "I feel like... I feel like I'm on an entirely different level! I could take on all of Frieza's army single-handedly now! Amazing!"

Guru retracted his hand, and let out a long, thoughtful mumble. "There is more to you than meets the eye, saiyan" Raditz began stretching his muscles, warming up with a beaming grin on his face. "Of course there is, grandpa, I'm the last saiyan in the entire galaxy left!"

"No, not that. You're had an interesting life, I can see now, why you are, the way you are. I believe I have made the right decision in trusting you with this alliance. You've given this old man some peace of mind, and for that I am immensely grateful". Raditz smiled in response to Guru's kind words, "I feel like I could take Freiza head on! Right now! Even with all of those idiot henchmen by his side!"

"Don't be so reckless!" Nail quickly responded. "His power dwarfs both our own. We should hide the dragonball first, and then perhaps harass him... Removing his henchmen would be a wise course of action". Guru nodded, "Yes, taking Frieza head on would be a foolish decision". Raditz folded his arms and sighed. "Fine... I suppose that would be a more intelligent route to take, at least".

Guru began to smile. "Please, I wish the two of you the best of luck. Ensuring this monster doesn't make his wish is all I'm asking of you. If you can do any more, you have proven to have risen to the occasion, stalling him until I pass away shouldn't be too hard".

"What?!" Raditz said, not expecting Guru to mention his own mortality. "What do you mean 'until you pass away'?". "The dragonballs will be rendered useless when I die, my own power is tied to them eternally..." Guru responded, coughing slightly at the end of the sentence.

The saiyan looked like a pressure cooker ready to explode. "You mean when you die?..."

"The dragonballs will cease to exist" Guru confirmed.

Raditz closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and waiting for a moment. "Okay, we'd better hurry then. Nail, shall we?" Raditz turned to the warrior, who nodded in confirmation, looking as steadfast as he was when they had first met.

The two warriors, despite their differences, simultaneously jumped down the exit hole, and flew out of Guru's lookout, flying far, far away from the ancient nameks little palace

Guru breathed a sigh of relief, before mumbling to himself, alone in his lookout. "At least I hope I'm no longer alive soon. That will impede Raditz from making his own wish for immortality, just as he had always planned..."
