17 Celeron’s First Transformation

After a few days, it was now the day that Krillin and Gohan would go to Namek! He wasn't going with them on the spaceship though. Celeron said bye to his wives and thanked Dr Brief as he left with the Namekian spaceship in hand. He was moving at a speed so fast that people weren't able to see him or the spaceship.

After a while, Celeron reached Kame House. He just left the spaceship outside with a note on it saying, "Spaceship for Krillin and Gohan, password is 'Piccolo'" and then it had a list of commands on the note. It was spelt in words they could read, but the words when read out, were in Namekian.

Celeron teleported to Elder Guru on Namek. When he reached there, Elder Guru turned his head down and said weakly, "It's you."

Celeron felt pretty bad. When he visited last time, Elder Guru was weak but he wasn't this weak! Right now, Elder Guru's voice made him sound like he was on the brink of death! Elder Guru had unlocked some of his potential for him! That had helped him so much...

"Elder Guru, you're dying! Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No... my time has come. So I shall die. There is no reason for me to live. I have already used my time up."

Nail gritted his teeth at the back of the room. Celeron could hear the grating of his teeth from a few meters away.

"Then, Elder Guru, I will save your planet and people from their destruction. Frieza is coming."

"I see.... I had a foreboding feeling that something bad was going to happen soon."

"Huh! Frieza?!" Nail shouted in panic.

Celeron was pretty surprised that the Elder Guru knew that something bad was going to happen! That's some intuition!

"But you know. If I fight Frieza, the planet will probably be destroyed. So I will wish for a new Namek, is that fine?"

"...It is fine. But please make sure it does not affect any of my children."

"Sure, sure. Anyway, Frieza is going to be here in around a month. So I'm going to go checking out some villages."

Elder Guru just lightly nodded in response. Celeron was about to walk away when he heard Nail say, "you're not strong enough! Frieza is the emperor of the universe you know! The universe! He's way too strong for you!"

"Actually, I'm more than two times stronger than him at my full power. And that's just in strength, not including my techniques."

"Huh? Two times?! Show me! I won't trust you with this planet's fate if I don't believe your strong enough!"

"Nail."

"Show me how strong you are!"

"Nail!"

"Let's fight! Right now!"

"NAIL!"

"Ah I apologise, Great Elder Guru, I got carried away."

Celeron was surprised, Guru actually got angry!

"I'm sorry for Nail's behaviour, please forgive him."

"It's fine, don't worry about it. I'm mainly here since I want a good fight anyway. Well, I'm off now, bye!"

Celeron teleported away, leaving Nail fuming in anger. Celeron was in one of seven Namekian villages.

"Oh! It's Celeron!"

"Ah! Hello Celeron!"

"Welcome back! Are you visiting again?"

Celeron had good relationships with the Namekians. He had talked to them a lot that time he had come to get the dragon balls. Admittedly, it was over a decade ago, but even then, the Namekians RARELY had any visitors on their planet, so of course, each one would be hard to forget.

Celeron smiled as he returned their greetings and told them he was sorry for intruding but he had some business with the Great Elder, and needed to stay here for a month. The Namekians, as kind as they were, readily welcomed him into their homes. Celeron chose one of the people he had liked talking with, and settled into their house with them. He didn't really need a bed, so he just slept while leaning against the wall, he was used to bad sleeping conditions due to his home planet anyway. And then...

Age 762, December 18

Celeron woke up from his sleep, every other Namekian had woken up already. They woke up quite early, Celeron wondered how they could go through the day with only that much sleep. Anyway, for the past few days, Celeron was so excited! Because today, Frieza and his minions would arrive!

Celeron walked outside as he flew into the air, and just as expected. Around 30 minutes later, he felt a huge energy signature surrounded by some smaller ones. This was definitely Frieza! Celeron teleported to where they would land as he waited there. And after a bit, the spaceship landed and the door opened. Out came Frieza in his little floaty chair, Zarbon and Dodoria on his right and left.

Frieza looked quite shocked at Celeron's presence on Namek. He had only expected Namekians and he had got a Saiyan!

"Who are you? How did a monkey get onto this planet? And with only a power level of 5000!" Frieza laughed while checking his scouter.

"I'm here to fight you!" Celeron said, the hunger for battle evident in his eyes.

Celeron let his Ki rise to its max. Zarbon's and Dodoria's scouters exploded, as Frieza said in shock, "One million, two million, three, four..."

Celeron kept going until he hit his limit. Then he stopped as Frieza said, "5,600,000! How did you get such a high battlepower, filthy monkey?!"

Celeron laughed as he said, "This isn't my maximum power! You know, I am a Super Saiyan! Actually, I'm even beyond the normal 'Super Saiyan' that you believe isn't real! I am a- Legendary Super Saiyan!"

Celeron put his power into the tingling sensation in his back. Then black lightning started appearing from the sky, making craters every time a bolt hit the ground. Celeron's hair started to shift from black to gray. Then the ground started to break into pieces as it lifted into the air. Celeron laughed as his transformation was finally complete!

He felt much, much stronger! He felt like he could crush a few dozen planets with just a single finger! Frieza's scouter had shattered a long time ago, when Celeron's power had peaked at 560 million!

(The scouter works up to exactly that number, plot convenience.)

Frieza backed up in horror as he started to transform into his final form and powered up to 100%. He only had a measly power level of 120 million...

(And btw this is the last power level, after this, no more power levels!)

Celeron was in front of Frieza in an instant. He knew that the tyrant would probably try something like blowing up the planet. Celeron grabbed his head and smashed it into his knee. And then he realised.. he was way too strong!

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Wake up! I thought you were stronger!" Celeron screamed in desperation. Where was his fight?! The fight he had waited for a month for?!

After a bit, Frieza woke up as Zarbon and Dodoria just sat in the corner, staring at the wall, not wanting to anger the Saiyan than he already was!

"Oy, Frieza! Why are you so weak?!" Celeron shouted in anger.

Frieza flinched as his face turned into one of disbelief, and then shifted into anger, "HUH?! You filthy monkey! I'll kill you!"

"Wait, I forgot to ask. What's my power level in my LSS form?"

"I won't tell you! Fuck off, stupid ass gorilla!" Frieza said in defiance. Well at least Celeron upgraded from a monkey to a gorilla.

"Then I'll just kill you. You know, in hell, you will stay their for eternity being surrounded by dancing, happy animals playing their trumpets?"

Frieza's face once again changed, this time into one of horror. Frieza really had a rough day, what a rollercoaster of emotions... He coughed before saying, "I'm telling you because I, Lord Frieza, felt bad for you being born as a gorilla. Understand?"

"Sure, sure. Just tell me."

"560 million."

"Not bad... thanks peasant, as a reward, I'll fix your disfigured face. Here, catch." Celeron said as he threw over a senzu bean to the peasant.

"The hell?! You're a peasant! You filthy monkey! I exterminated your entire race, and you'll be next! And I don't want a goddamn bean! I'm here to collect my immortality!" Frieza screamed in rage. The 'emperor of the universe' was on the verge of blowing up everything in sight. He was sick of this gorilla!

"That bean will heal your ugly face." Celeron said nonchalantly, as he stared at Frieza curiously, as if finding a new toy.

Frieza chomped on the bean, the gorilla would have killed him if he wanted to. There was no need for poison. Frieza then felt his crooked nose and broken jaw, fit back into place, miraculously and completely healed.

"Gorilla! Where did you get this bean?" Frieza asked, still marvelling at its effects.

"Huh? There's no more! You don't get healing beans like that easily y' know!" Celeron lied, somehow tricking an experienced liar like Frieza.

Celeron then sensed three energy signatures coming towards the planet, two were together, and one was separate. It was Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta! For some reason, Cui wasn't following Vegeta, maybe he got destroyed by Vegeta before he even got in the space pod?

"Okay, peasant, I'm going to go now! And remember, don't kill any Namekians, if you do kill even one, I'll come straight for you! If you want the dragon balls then only threaten them, don't touch any one of them! You're strong so you could just make them fall unconscious straight away." Celeron said in a commanding voice.

Frieza just looked away in annoyance, as he grunted. Celeron wasn't sure if it meant 'Whatever' or 'Fuck you'. But he didn't care, he could just wish the Namekians back!

And so, Celeron went to fly up in the sky as he observed what his changes did to the original story.
