"Aliens. That explains why we lost. But now things have changed." An old man said as he stared at the floating form inside the water tank. The figure inside the tank was a young woman who looked Human except for one aspect, her tail. Suddenly her eyes opened and though her eyesight was hazy at first, soon she could make out several figures standing there, watching her. Most of them have tails just like her. The old man with unruly white hair smiled a wide smile. "Now I have an army of these aliens! An army of saiyans! The red ribbon army will rule supreme!" The man shouted, throwing his hands up in the air and laughing at his success.

Far away from the underground laboratory on a small island a group of friends was gathering. Krillin had been the first to arrive, landing on the beach's golden sand. He didn't see his old master, but he could sense his presence inside the Kame house. "Master Roshi! Here I am. Are you awake?" The bald martial artist started towards the house where he had spent a good part of his training. His master appeared at the entrance of his house, a frown present on his face. "There you are master." Krillin said, a smile appearing on his face. "It's good to see you."

The old man leaned forward and raised his glasses, looking left and then right. "You're alone."

Krillin scratched behind the back of his head, not seeing the problem. "Yeah. We all decided to travel separately. I didn't think it would be a big deal."

"WRONG!" The old man declared. He pointed an accusing finger at Krillin. "You're young. It is only natural that you'd bring along a lady friend when you visit." Suddenly he would smile a wide lecherous smile. "Preferably one with big…" He would circle his hands around invisible orbs, drool dripping out of the corner of his mouth.

Krillin sweat dropped at his master. "Right. Well, I'm sorry for not being a ladies' man."

"You're a failure! A failure as a student and as a man!" Roshi declared. "I am not letting you inside until you bring me a sexy lady with curves."

The monk had however prepared for this, he knew his master rather well by now. He dropped his bag and searched around in it before he produced a naughty magazine. "That's a shame. Well… I guess I'll read this on my way ba…"

The old man quickly snatched the magazine from Krillin's hands. He quickly flipped through a few pages before looking at his student. "Good enough! But next time I expect a REAL woman. One with enough BOING too!" Roshi did a bouncing gesture at his own chest which just made Krillin feel really ashamed that he had to call this man 'master'. Roshi opened the magazine and started inspecting the merchandize. "So…" He said as he watched his dirty pictures. "Any sign of Goku?"

The change of topic caught Krillin a little off-guard. "Heh. No, nothing at all. It's been over a year now, I figured he would have tried to contact us by now." He crossed his arms. "I'm a little worried. Chi-chi is starting to grow impatient and for some reason she feels like she needs to take her rage out on me." He lowered his head as he remembered the last beating he received. "It's not my fault that he hasn't come back. Why am I always the one Chi-chi beats up?"

"Cause you're the only one stupid enough to visit her." A voice cut in. The short man turned to find Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu had all gathered. Yamcha was standing there with a big grin plastered on his face. "You always were too soft."

"Yamcha! Tien, Chiaotzu!" Krillin said as he ran over to them. "Wow. It's great to see you guys again."

Tien gave Krillin a nod. "Good to see you too Krillin." Chiaotzu waved at Krillin and gave him a smile.

But something didn't seem right to the monk. He rubbed his chin. "Yamcha. Didn't you bring Bulma and Puar?"

Yamcha frowned and looked away. "Well. You see…. We had a disagreement a few days ago. But no matter. Who needs them anyway, right? We don't need those two to have fun! They would probably say all sorts of annoying stuff." Yamcha would spread his arms. "Now it's just us guys."

Master Roshi did not look pleased. "You're all failures!"

That was when all of them noticed two more powers heading towards the island from the east. These two new powers were clearly very powerful. Stronger than any of them.

Yamcha looked over the ocean towards the horizon. "Gohan and Piccolo? I didn't think they'd show up."

Tien shook his head. "No. That doesn't feel like either Gohan or Piccolo. That feels more like Vegeta. This might be trouble."

Krillin looked confused. "But that isn't Vegeta. I would recognize his power anywhere. But there's no one else that could be this strong. This doesn't make any sense. Did anyone this strong work for Frieza?"

The three eyed warrior held up his guard. "Someone might have survived. Either way, we better prepare for the worst."

Two orbs of ki appeared and soon they could make out two figures. They were moving at incredible speeds and when they landed on the island the wave of air that they brought along almost knocked the Humans down. Krillin and the others turned to look at their opponents and what they saw shocked them all. Raditz and Nappa had returned. The two stood there like they owned the place, just as arrogant as they were before their defeats.

"But both of you died!" Yamcha shouted. "You shouldn't be…

Nappa looked confused. "What is this ant talking about Seven?"

Raditz shrugged his shoulders. "Who cares? They're pathetic. Lets deal with them quickly."

Nappa would smile widely at that. "That sounds good! Oh. I think I'll crush the floating one first. I bet he's small enough to fit in my hand."

The Z-fighters had their guards up, but none of them knew what was going on. Raditz and Nappa were acting strangely. Not only that, their powerlevels were far higher than they had been when they had been beaten. "Something isn't right here." Krillin said. "Be careful everyone."

A device that was hanging from Raditz' belt suddenly started shaking around as a voice sounded from it. "Seven, Eight. Do not destroy them yet. I want them to know the truth before you crush them. I want them to know that they're going to be destroyed by the creations of Doctor Gero of the Red Ribbon Army!"

"WHAT!" Yamcha shouted. "What are you talking about!"

The voice from the device laughed. "It is just like I said. I have created these two Saiyans. Cloned them and enhanced them. They are greater than the opponents you fought before. They are enhanced Saiyans. The ultimate warriors! With their power the Red Ribbon… no I will conquer the world! HAHAHAHAHAA!" His laughter continued for a long time. The Z-fighters stood there, letting this all sink in. But it was a bit too much to just handle on the spot. "Now then." The voice continued. "Seven, Eight… kill them."
