What if Gohan had attacked Nappa:

Dust slowly began to fade from the explosion. The fighters stared in shock as they watched. When it cleared, a large muscular Saiyan hovered there. His battle armor had been heavily damaged but he appeared uninjured.

The large Saiyan laughed after dusting himself. 'That was pathetic,' he said. 'What a waste.'

The Saiyan known as Nappa continued to laugh as his opponents stared on in anger. On of them, a three eyed human known as Tien was enraged. His best friend Choutzu had tried to destroy their Saiyan nemesis by sacrificing himself, only to fail. 'The Dragon Balls already restored his life,' Tien said shaking. 'He can never come back again!'

'Luckily you'll see him soon in Hell!' Nappa yelled.

As Nappa continued laughing, Tien's allies, Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan were planning a way to attack the monster. 'Listen,' Piccolo said. 'As soon as he attacks, he's open. Then we'll strike.'

'Good plan,' someone said. 'I hope it works.'

Piccolo swung around and stared into the cold eyes of Vegeta; Nappa's partner and superior in strength.

'So cocky,' Piccolo replied. 'I look foreword to seeing your face when Son Goku gets here.'

'Oh,' Vegeta said. 'And who's that, your secret weapon?

At that moment, Nappa charged through the air towards Tien.

'Now,' Piccolo said. He and Krillin jumped into the air ready to attack.

'Come at me!' Tien yelled. He was ready to die fighting if he had to. He was determined to destroy this monster.

As Nappa flew towards him, Tien braced himself. Until Piccolo appeared at Nappa's right and struck him in the face with a monstrous punch.

Tien watched in surprise as Nappa flew uncontrollably through the air. Then, Krillin appeared above him and slammed his fists down upon Nappa's head.

'Gohan,' Piccolo yelled as Nappa soared through the air. 'Attack!'

The smallest and youngest of them, Gohan, was overwhelmed with fear. But he ignored it. He raised his hands and shouted, 'Masenko!'

A giant yellow blast emerged from his hands. It soared through the air and collided with Nappa. It exploded upon impact and he fell to the ground and crashed.

Tien realized that the Saiyan was down for the moment. He and Krillin both jumped towards him. Tien stuck his knee foreword and shoved it right into his chest. Nappa screamed and vomited blood. Krillin generated his Chi into his leg and kicked Nappa hard in the head.

As Nappa flew through the air from the force of Krillin's kick, Piccolo brought his hand up to his head and extended his index and middle finger. He concentrated his entire Chi into it and began to form the Light of Death.

Gohan joined Tien and Krillin as they pummeled the now injured Nappa. Gohan's Masenko had hit dead on and had done much more damage than they had thought. Nappa had been weakened immensely and their assault had weakened him further. After Tien kicked Nappa in the head, sending him smashing into the ground, they stopped.

Nappa slowly got up. He was in pain, and rage was overcoming him. 'That's it!' he screamed. 'I'm going to kill you all!' Nappa leaned foreword to fire his most powerful attack, until he noticed the Namekian Piccolo.

Piccolo's hand was glowing and he was grunting from the effort it took to maintain his attack.

'Hey Vegeta,' Nappa said. 'What's the Namekian's power level?'

Vegeta put on his scouter and pressed the button on the said. He was instantly shocked with what he saw. 'Power level is nine thousand, two hundred and seven,' he yelled. 'And still growing!'

Nappa was horrified. 'No way,' he yelled. 'It's impossible.'

Piccolo had heard them. 'Indeed it is possible!' he yelled. 'Now meet the Light of Death!' he stuck his arm out foreword and yelled, 'Special Beam Cannon!'

A bright beam surrounded by spiraling energy emerged from Piccolo's two outstretched fingers. It shot through the air, heading straight for Nappa. The Saiyan tried to get out of the way but it was too late. The sound of ripping flesh was heard as the attack exploded.

Tien, Krillin and Gohan stared wide eyed as the explosion faded. Vegeta stood there unpleased, and Piccolo grinned to himself when he saw the results of his attack.

Nappa had survived. He had managed to move out of the way in time to avoid death, but not to avoid the beam. His entire right arm had been completely blown off and he stood there, holding on to his monstrous wound.

'So much for you,' Piccolo said. He hovered down to the ground and walked over to the injured Saiyan. 'I think that I'll kill you know.'

Soon, Piccolo stood before the Saiyan. Piccolo grinned when he saw the horrified look Nappa wore. He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up off the ground, and then he punched him in the face with extreme force.

The blow sent him flying through the air, and he landed right before Vegeta's feet. 'Vegeta,' Nappa said while raising his hand. 'P-please, I need your help.'

Vegeta looked down upon his fallen comrade and then at the Namekian who had defeated him. 'Forget it,' Vegeta said. He kicked Nappa in the ribs, sending him flying through the air back towards Piccolo.

'You may finish him,' Vegeta said to the Namekian. 'You have earned it.'

Piccolo ignored the Saiyan prince, but he still took him up on his offer. He extended his finger, pointing it at Nappa, and fired.

The beam struck the Saiyan in the head, killing him instantly.

Gohan stood there in shock. Krillin breathed a sigh of relief, and Tien smiled. He was happy that his friend had been avenged.

Their thoughts were cut off when Piccolo spoke. 'There's no time to celebrate,' he said. 'This fight is nowhere near finished.' He turned around and looked at Vegeta with loathing.

'O-oh yeah,' Krillin said. 'There's a-another o-one.'

'Don't worry,' Piccolo said. 'We've defeated one already. We can beat this one also.'

Vegeta burst into laughter. 'Oh my dear Namekian,' he said. 'You underestimate me. My power is at least three times that of Nappa. I'm afraid you wouldn't stand a chance. But this "Goku" you speak of, that's Kakarot, isn't it?

'Yeah,' Krillin replied. 'So what?'

'So he really did comeback to life then. But what good will he be if he wasn't even a match for Raditz?

'He will be different from before,' Krillin said. 'He'll be more powerful than you can imagine.'

'Son Goku is a very bad one to underestimate,' Piccolo said. 'I wasn't a match for Raditz but I just killed your supposedly unbeatable partner. Son Goku has received much better training than I have. You will realize his potential when you fight him.'

'You put such faith into Kakarot,' Vegeta said. 'Alright, we'll wait until he comes.'

Everyone was shocked. 'Are you serious?' Piccolo asked.

'Yes,' Vegeta replied. 'Now don't irritate me or I'll change my mind.

Piccolo, Krillin, Tien and Gohan walked away from Vegeta and found a place to rest. Vegeta found a rock under a tree and sat down.

'What happened to Goku,' Krillin asked. 'Did he really come back to life?'

Piccolo ignored Krillin and turned to Gohan. 'You did well there,' he said. 'We would never have been able to finish him like that if you hadn't of attacked. I'm proud of you Gohan.'

'Thank you Piccolo,' Gohan replied.

Slowly the minutes passed. Soon it had been a little over three hours since they first started waiting.

At the Earth Sanctuary, Kami-Sama, the Earth's god and his assistant, Mr. Popo waited for the arrival of Goku. At that moment, Kami sensed an enormous Chi arriving at the check in station from the Serpent Road. 'It's Goku!' Kami yelled. 'He's here!'

'Fetch him my lord,' Mr. Popo yelled.

Kami vanished and appeared at the Otherworld's check in station. He saw the orange clad being emerge from one of the doorways. 'Goku,' he said.

Goku turned his head and saw him. 'Kami,' he replied.

Kami gave him his arm and told him to take it. Goku did and they both teleported back to the sanctuary. 'The training went well,' Goku said. 'Now I'm off.'

He waived goodbye and jumped off the sanctuary. Soon he passed the house of Karin. 'Hello Master Karin!' he yelled.

'Here Goku,' Karin said. He threw two senzu beans at him. Goku caught them and ate one of them.

'Alright,' Goku said, 'full power.'

Goku put the other one away and then he yelled, 'Kintoun!'

The magic yellow cloud he had had for so long appeared from the sky and greeted him. Goku landed on it. 'There's a huge power cluster that way,' he yelled. 'Hurry cloud hurry!'

As Goku and his cloud sped towards the cluster, he began to worry. 'There's a huge Chi, one even bigger, and three smaller ones. It's not enough. Please don't let anyone be dead!'
