Chapter 1 - Prologue
„I wish that you bring back all those people who died last week during our... uhem... training accident..." Son Goku scratched the back of his head as he looked up at the dragon in the dark sky. Vegeta was leaning his back against a rocky cliff nearby and watched with a bored expression on his face.
Goku had expected to hear something like "It is done." or "As you wish", but it didn't come. Instead the dragon suddenly looked like he had swallowed a toad, his body starting to twitch and twist, his eyes bulging.
"Goku, what is going on?" Kuririn asked, in a trembling tone of voice. The Z-Fighters were all staring at the dragon as he suddenly erupted in a bright flash of light. The dragon balls were blown apart, scattering all over the planet again.
A loud curse made everybody jump and turn their was sitting on the ground holding his head. In front of him lay a shining orange ball with four stars.
"Nani?" Goku picked up the ball and looked at it with big eyes.
"Hey, Kakarot, am I wrong or shouldn't that thing be a normal rock for the next year?" Vegeta looked over Goku's shoulder and frowned.
"You are right, Vegeta. And I don't think it was supposed to try and knock out Yamcha."
Yamcha was still sitting on the ground holding his head. Ten Shin Han knelt next to him, trying to see if any real damage had been done.
Suddenly it felt like the earth was shaking. The boulders around them crumbled and dust filled the air.
"What is going on now?" Gohan nearly cracked his neck as he spun around trying to see what was happening. All around them the Z-Fighters could sense movements in the dust. A shadow burst out and launched itself at Kuririn. The small man struggled to fight off the attacker. Lazily Vegeta lifted his hand, held out his palm and blasted the green thing off the former monk, leaving a smoldering crater next to Kuririn.
"Wha...what was that now?" Kuririn looked utterly shocked at Vegeta.
"THAT was a Saibaman, have you forgotten about them?"
"No." said Yamcha darkly.
"Oh, you are right. The Saiyajin used them when they came to earth, right."
"Right. But the problem is, there are none left alive by now." They all stared at Vegeta. Then the dust errupted as more and more Saibamen attacked the surprised Z-Fighters.
