AN: This is technically my second story. I have several others but can hardly keep up. I decided to at least share with you all what I had so far for this.


"KA-ME-HA-ME..HAAAAAA!"

He unleashed the blue energy wave into the tiny green creature. It collapsed onto the ground and he landed, then turned to his friends smirking.

"See, told you guys I had this. I-"

Something wasn't right. Yamcha turned to look at the Saibaman, only to see it closing the distance between them. He threw a quick left hook into its face, causing it to, instead of latching onto his chest, it grabs his left arm instead, and his eyes widen as the creature begins to glow in deadly light. It was about to explode! He knew it was the only way to save himself, so he closed his eyes and then- pain. So much pain.. He couldn't feel his arm anymore at least.. But there was a blinding flash. When he came to Krillin was standing over him, and he was on his back. He pushed himself to his feet and went to grab his arm, assuming it was too damaged to move it. He looked to see when he couldn't find anything.. His arm, from the shoulder down, was gone. He could not even believe it.. He just started to fight! How could this have.. No. He was alive. He could still fight. The wound wasn't bleeding, casturized from the blast. The abomination had killed itself in vain, only taking his arm from him. But there were ways to recover from this. He looked around, and was somewhat dismayed, as well as thankful to see that he could not find his missing arm. It was destroyed, so at least young Gohan wouldn't have to see it. But at the same time, there was no possible way to reattach it. Maybe Bulma could do something.. Prosthetic or… no matter. There was a battle to fight.

" YAMCHA! Yamcha! Bud! Your arm.. Its.."

Krillin had been trying to get Yamcha's attention the entire time the ex-bandit was thinking to himself.

"Fine.. It's fine Krillin. We have bigger things to worry about right now."

" You are damn right! How dare they.. They come to our planet, attack us, and for what!? Here is what I think of you saiyans!"

Krillin powered up to his maximum and unleashed a burst of energy up, then it spread apart and flew directly into each of the remaining Saibamen, some tried to escape, but were all killed from Krillin's onslaught. Everyone stood speechless until laughter broke the silence.

"Quite the impressive display baldy. Too bad our game is up.. Because now it is time for Nappa to play. I hope you are ready. One of you has already been disarmed, would be a shame if you all fell so quickly."

The dust cleared to reveal the two saiyans. Krillin seems to have fired a couple blasts at them as well, maybe to catch them off guard.. It did nothing. This was not looking good for us right now. GOKU! WE NEED YOU!

Far off, on Snake Way, Son Goku rushed to get back to the check-in station so Kami could get him back to Earth. No one had died- Yet. Who knows what would happen at this point..

I got back over by Piccolo, Gohan, Tien, and Chiaotzu, with Krillin right behind me.

"How will we fight them? All together? The short one might attack too if we gang up.. I say two of us should try to fight him at once." Tien gave his thoughts on the oncoming fight against the first saiyan.

"Damn foolish.. Let's distract the big one, then two of us attack from behind with a double strike, then another knocks him towards me, where I will strike him back at the first two. I say Gohan, you go with Yamcha to receive it from Krillin and Tien. I will strike him back to Krillin and Tien, then we just keep attacking until one of us has a chance to go in for the kill."

"It's the best plan we have got.. Stick together is best. But what about Chiaotzu?"

"I can stay close to.. P-Piccolo. Try to use my powers on the saiyan. "

"Whatever, just everyone get ready. Gohan, Yamcha, positions. I will cause the distraction, then Tien and Krillin get behind and attack, got it?"

A short distance away Vegeta stood, knowing they had some sort of plan. He was amused but would allow it. Even if it somehow worked, they would still have him, the prince to contend with. Even combined, their power levels would barely make it up to half his own, IF they were lucky. He chuckled.

"Nappa, get ready. Have fun but remember to keep the Namek alive. We need to get those dragon balls and he is our best bet. "

"Fine, Vegeta. But I don't know if there will be anything left for you to do after I am done with all of 'um!"

Nappa was stretching and stepped onto the battlefield. The helicopters flying above watched the change. On an island far away, several people were watching the battle.


" Oh Kami.. Yamcha! Please don't die…his arm is... " Bulma cried next to Chi-Chi, who feared for her little boy who had to see such violent things. Master Roshi tried to comfort them. Goku had to be on his way! He would be there in time to save everyone.. Right? Truth be told he was just trying to stay optimistic. At best Goku would arrive in time to see all his friends dead, and a good chunk of the earth's population at this rate.


"So which of you will go fir-"

"I will! Bring it you oversized oaf!" Piccolo got into position, as Tien and Krillin began slowly edging around the battlefield so they could do the same. Yamcha and Gohan moved the opposite direction. Vegeta noticed the movement but didn't say anything. Right now this was Nappa's battle.

"It shouldn't take too long to beat you within an inch of your life!" Nappa rocketed off at incredible speeds at Piccolo, who jumped up and tried to kick at the saiyan's head. Nappa however grabbed Piccolo's leg, and suddenly shuddered, as if a chill passed by him, and Piccolo kicked himself free of Nappa's grip. 'Huh. The little guy actually did something.. Got to focus now..' Piccolo fired off a blast, which didn't even faze Nappa. The large saiyan turned and threw a blast right into Chiaotzu's direction..and... 'Oh Kami No…' The blast impacted right into the little guy and it detonated. As the smoke cleared there was no sign of their ally.

"YOU!? BASTARD! YOU KILLED HIM! CHIAOTZU!" Tien's power shot up to his maximum and slightly beyond.. He was going all out. He had only fought the Saibamen so far so he was full of energy. Nappa gave no sign of worry and turned to Piccolo. Vegeta's scouter beeped and he picked it up and checked it, seeing a power level of … THE HELL!?

"NAPPA! WATCH OUT! THE THREE EYED ONE HAS A POWER LEVEL OF JUST OVER 5000!" Nappa turned to look at Tien, who was putting every ounce of energy he had into this attack. Piccolo saw an opportunity and ran forward, striking Nappa at the base of his skull from behind, stunning the warrior. Krillin fired off a Kamehameha towards Vegeta's direction, who casually deflected it to continue watching the battle. The few seconds that Piccolo had gotten for Tien seems to have paid off..

"TRI-BEAM! HHHHAAAAAAAA!" Tien fired off his strongest Tri beam. His own power level was less than half of this, but having put all his energy into the attack, life energy included it was practically his full power. The attack flew directly down. Piccolo barely got out of the area. Everyone was blinded by the attack, and the shockwave made everyone except Vegeta stumble or fly back. The attack continued for several seconds before dying out, and Tien fell to the ground, having exhausted every bit of energy in his body. He was dead, of course. Where Nappa had been standing was a massive crater in the shape of a Square. The bottom could not be seen from this angle. There was no sign of Nappa at all. Having been stunned by Piccolo's last minute reaction attack that stunned him, Nappa was too distracted to even prepare for Tien's attack. He had barely understood what the attack was going to do to him, or how an earthling could have such a high power level. Vegeta scowled and took off his scouter, crushing the device.

"Your friend got lucky. Even if you all somehow managed to recreate that.. Whatever he did, it would have to be more than three times that strength to even slow me down. I hope you are all ready, because one of you is about to join your two friends." Vegeta's scowl became a smirk, and he took a step forwards. Krillin grabbed Gohan and covered his mouth, they had their power levels hidden and Vegeta couldn't detect them yet. They would have to go after Vegeta's tail, and Krillin would use his Destructo Disc to end this nightmare. The two landed and began approaching from behind. Piccolo and Yamcha stood to face down Vegeta, but both of them were already in dire straits. Yamcha had one arm missing, and Nappa had had a bit of time to rough of Piccolo.

"Well.. You can't kill me. You still need the Dragon Balls right?" Piccolo was trying to buy them some time.

"Y-yeah.. And I am not that much of a challenge right? Might as well wait for Goku! He would be the only real challenge for you!" Yamcha hoped to do the same.

"Humph.. I know you two are just trying to buy time, but you are right. Now, before I kill the two shrimps behind me, I want all four of you to go stand together. I will give you.. Two hours before I kill all except for one. So, Namekian, care to tell me anything of the dragon balls? Did you take them from your homeworld?" Krillin and Gohan quickly made their way over to Yamcha and Piccolo. They stood in a circle and tried to think of a plan, most of them sitting. Piccolo turned to speak to Vegeta.

"What do you mean, Namekian..?"

" Oh please, don't tell me you don't even know what you are either? I swear.. Something about this world makes aliens forget themselves. "

"Whatever. If we had more time to train I would be the one kicking your ass right now instead of waiting around for Goku."

"Go ahead, we don't have to wait. We can begin right now if you are so eager to die."

"Hmph." Piccolo didn't give a response to that. He just turned back to the others to try and come up with a plan.

"Obviously, we have to go for his tail. Not only is it a weak point, but it is also how he can transform. Well, I guess we don't have to worry about that anymore but still." Krillin spoke in quiet tones, hoping saiyan hearing was not that much better than Human. Gohan looked terrified and Yamcha looked about to fall asleep which might not be good at all..

"Gohan.. You need to stay back. Save your energy. You are half saiyan, he will likely go after the bigger threats of Piccolo and Krillin." Yamcha was doing everything he could to stay awake. He had lost an arm and was still adjusting to the feeling. Having lost quite a bit of energy.


"Hold on guys! I am doing everything I can to get there!" Goku was flying over Snake Way as fast as he could without using up all his energy. Hopefully he could pick up some senzu from Korrin. He guessed he was maybe a bit over halfway to the Check-In Station. Maybe closer to 3/4ths the way there..


*Three hours came and gone, and Vegeta stood from the boulder upon he had been sitting. *

"It seems that Kakarot will not be joining us. Pity. Well, I suppose I will kill the short bald one first.. Then-" Suddenly the four sprung into action, charging Vegeta and throwing strikes at him. Piccolo got behind him while Yamcha used Wolf Fang Fist, then Gohan started striking at Vegeta's legs, hoping to trip him up. Krillin got above the action on the ground. Vegeta dodged every strike, arms still crossed and kicked Gohan upwards, right into Krillin, the two then tumbled down onto the ground. Vegeta slapped Piccolo away, finally uncrossing his arms. He turned to Yamcha, who stood in his fighting position as best he could with one arm.

"You still dare stand against a warrior of such a level as myself? Even when you have a disability? How about this, I will only use one arm to even the odds ever so slightly. It might even delay your death a bit!"

"I have to keep fighting you! This planet is worth defending, the people worth dying for! If that is what it takes.. Then-" Yamcha rushed at Vegeta and tried to feint, then strike at the other fighter's face. It was easily stopped, and Vegeta then kicked Yamcha in the gut, winding the warrior and knocking him away. Piccolo had recovered and gotten behind Vegeta, who didn't realize that Piccolo had recovered. The Namekian grabbed Vegeta's tail in an iron tight grasp. From behind, of Piccolo's view it seemed as though it worked.

"KRILLIN NOW!" Krillin had also gotten a second wind and created a Destructo Disc, which he quickly threw at Vegeta. The saiyan moved, bringing Piccolo with him, and he fired a blast, dissipating the disc of energy. He then grabbed Piccolo and fired a blast through his chest. The saiyan let the Namekian drop to the ground in a crumbled pile. The others looked in horror as he fell, it did not look good right now.

"Mr….. PICCOLO!" Gohan suddenly shouted, his power exploding higher than any of theirs. He flew and slammed right into Vegeta, who was caught unawares of Gohan's hidden potential. The child began furiously attacking the saiyan, who recovered quickly and began to block the attacks. Yamcha flew in to help but was knocked away easily. Krillin saw the pointlessness in attacking but charged in anyway. Yamcha dusted himself off and flew in as well. The three earthlings continued to attack Vegeta, who continued to use one arm.

" ENOUGH!" Vegeta sent out a kiai, that forced all three of them away. They regrouped and stood together.


"I MADE IT!" Goku finally reached the check in station, and Kami appeared, quickly taking him to the Lookout, before the guardian disappeared again. Goku looked around curiously before shaking it off. He had to get to the battle. He jumped off the edge of the lookout and flew downwards, as he passed Korrin's tower, the old cat master tossed Goku two senzu beans. Goku broke one in half and ate it himself, feeling refreshed. He then flew towards the battle as quickly as he could, Nimbus appeared at his call and he used it so he didn't have to use up as much energy.

"Hold on guys! I am almost there!" Goku could sense four powers, meaning there had to be some deaths. Gohan and Krillin are still alive.. So is Yamcha. But Tien..Chiaotzu.. And..! Piccolo. So Kami died just as Goku arrived, using his last bit of power to take t the saiyan from earth to the lookout. He had to hurry before anyone else died! That last power.. It is huge.


"Gohan, on the count of three, we have to attack him with our attacks, all together!"

Krillin and Yamcha began doing the Kamehameha, Gohan did the same with his Masenko. Once each fighter fired their blast at the amused Vegeta, the three beams fused into one headed directly for the powerful saiyan. He extended one hand out to block the attack. However, none of the four could see the flash of red on the other side of Vegeta.

"KAIOKEN TIMES TWO! KAMEHAMEHA AAAAAAA!" Suddenly a flash of red and blue emitted from the other side of Vegeta, who turned and stuck an arm out to block the oncoming attack from his other side, now fending off two attacks, Vegeta, however was not expecting the attack to be so powerful and it overwhelmed him, Goku directed his surprise attack upwards and it avoided his son and two best friends narrowly, blasting Vegeta upwards into the sky.

"D-daddy!" Gohan began to tear up and ran towards his father. Goku caught his son and gave him a hug, then gave him the half of a senzu he had left.

"Krillin, Yamcha! Hurry over here. I have a senzu for you guys to split. I-Yamcha! Your arm.." Yamcha and Krillin ran over to Goku, and they accepted half of a senzu each. Goku smiled, there was hope for them now.

"Yeah.. There were these green guys and one of them blew itself up and.. Well…"

"It's alright. You don't have to say anything else.. You guys should head back to Kame House. The battle is going to get dangerous.. I am not sure just how strong this saiyan is."

"Hmm.. fine.. But don't you go dying on us again. You have this in the bag! Also, can you move the battle somewhere else Goku? We can't let our friend's bodies get destroyed."

" Right.. I see Piccolo, and Tien over there. But where is Chiaotzu?"

" He uh.. The other saiyan, before Tien killed him, destroyed him..Avenge our friends Goku. Please." Goku nodded and looked towards Vegeta, who had recovered from Goku's sneak attack, and landed. His armor was slightly damaged and he looked worse for wear, but more angered then anything.

" I hope you are ready to pay for that Kakarot because you attacked your prince while he was engaged in battle. "

" I had to intervene. I was sure someone as strong as you could handle it. If you want to battle, we have to move somewhere else." Goku turned and motioned for the others to leave. Vegeta was about to kill them, but smirked. He would take care of them after he slew Kakarot like the mutt he was. Gohan, Krillin, and Yamcha began flying away as quickly as they could. It was up to Goku now.

"Follow me. "

Goku took off as fast as he could and Vegeta right behind him, keeping up easily. 'Wow, he really is that strong.. He is keeping up with me easily!' Goku lands on a rock formation and Vegeta lands on another just a short distance away. They stare at each other, unmoving. They no there are no words that need to be said at this point. Eventually, a gust blows over a small rock, and as it falls the two saiyan warriors finally move, and begin clashing. Vegeta holds the obvious advantage in speed and strength. Goku was able to fake a kick and punches Vegeta away, then powers up to the Kaioken times two, knowing it would be the only way to keep up even. He surprises Vegeta quickly with his technique and amplified power. Vegeta had not seen anything like it! So Goku pressed on his advantage and smashes Vegeta around until the prince is able to recover. At that point Vegeta starts over powering Goku again, having realized Goku has more power than he led on. The two continued clashing, until Goku was finally forced to land to catch his breath. Neither warrior escaped unscathed, but Goku was worse off right now. He tore off the rest of his Gi from the Blue belt up, and thought on how he could keep up. He sighed and King Kai panicked, knowing what Goku was about to attempt.

"KAIOKEN...TIMES….THREEEEEEE!" Goku's power skyrocketed and he slammed into Vegeta, then smashed his fist into Vegeta's gut, driving the invader back, but he wouldn't let up his short advantage, and continued pounding into Vegeta's defenses. Vegeta finally blocked and it became a slug fest. Vegeta rose up into the air and panted, he was fairly winded from the assault.

"How.. DARE you low-class SCUM!? I am the prince of all saiyans! You can not possibly rival me! THAT'S IT! Prepare to die with your world Kakarot! You dare not avoid this! GALICK…" A surge of purple light pulsed around Vegeta, who began charging his attack.

"Oh no! If I don't stop that he could destroy the Earth.. Guess I have no choice! Kaioken times three.. KA-ME…"

"GUN!"

"HA-ME.."

"FIRE!" Vegeta released his blast, the mighty attack unleashed towards the planet and its strongest fighter.

"HAAA!" Goku unleashed his signature move at his foe, the prince of a dead race. The two beams met and it caused a shockwave and flash grander than any before seen on this earth. The two blasts were almost completely equal. However, Vegeta's Galick Gun had a slight advantage, pushing slowly towards Goku.

"THIS IS IT KAKAROT! HOPE YOU ENJOY HELL LOW-CLASS SCUM!"

"D-DAMN IT! ONLY ONE WAY..TIMES FOUR!" Energy pulsed through Goku and into his kamehameha, and it surged upward, and suddenly forced its way past Vegeta's galick gun, overwhelming the prince and driving him upwards, far into the sky. Goku cut off the kaioken and relaxed a bit. Vegeta has taken two powerful Kamehameha's. He has to be severely weakened at this point. The first one was weaker but took him by surprise. Goku waited and tried to recover some energy.

"YE-HEHEAH! GOKU! You did it!" Yajirobe, the short fat samurai ran over and patted the hero of earth on the back, causing Goku to flinch. Yajirobe looked curiously to Goku.

"Huh? Are you really that messed up from the battle?"

"Y-yeah. You should probably get out of here.. This battle isn't over yet. He is still alive."

"W-what!? No way! After all that.. I-I gotta go! Good luck!" With that, the pathetic samurai ran for all he was worth back behind a rock.


AN: Look, I will continue Calaphor's story, but inspiration has caused me to work on some other stuff. This isn't the full chapter, I will be making changes and adding stuff later on, I just want to have it here for now.
