Chapter 1

A New Threat

It was a few days after Vegeta was defeated and the Earth saved, Gohan was studying in his room and looked up to see a shooting star. 'Wow, Pretty!' He went to go see, when he heard a familiar voice. "GOHAN! Get back to your studies this instant!" Gohan jumped back to his chair quickly, fearing the wrath of his mother, Chi Chi. Elsewhere, Goku and Krillin looked up into the night sky from the hospital house and saw the falling star. "Goku" Krillin said "I have a bad feeling, something is going to happen soon" Goku looked up, then looked at his little friend and smiled. "It's probably you thinking of just the thought of you going into space… don't worry, you will be fine!" Elsewhere, the shooting star hits the ground, causing a small creator to show on the face of the Earth. The small space craft emerged out of the smoke, slowly opening, a young man stepped out of it, looking at his surroundings he knew this was the right planet, he tracked Vegeta's ship here, though it was gone, Nappa's was still here, the young man grumbled and walked through the smoke into the unknown.

It has now been a few months since Trunks came from the future, warning the Z fighters of the impending danger of the Androids. Many adventures has happened since then, Cooler coming to Earth, The Z fighters travelling to New Vegeta only to face the legendary Super Sayian Brolli. But there is another threat to planet Earth and the Z fighters… one that has been building right under their noses.

Bulma was watching the TV, as she usually did in the evenings when Trunks was asleep, Vegeta again was training in the Anti-Gravitational room. 'Your programme has been interrupted for some breaking news!' "What the hell! What is so important?" Bulma shouted at the TV. She watched as a reporter stood in a city… but something was wrong. "Tor Terrat here, I am in the centre on East City, where millions of inhabitants and visitors have seemingly been killed." Bulma spat out her tea, she hadn't heard of such things happening since the time she was on Namek and Freiza killed almost all of them. "the cause of all the wounds are unknown, it seems as if they where hit by a small explosion… but such a thing is unheard of! More on this as it develops!" Bulma got on the phone to Goku. "Goku, turn to channel 81! Quickly!" Goku turned on the TV and watched the report before shouting "This isn't possible! The androids are not supposed to be here for a few more years! Ah! I'll be right over!" No sooner as Bulma put the phone down, Goku stood behind her, with an almost sleeping Gohan by his side. "We should get the others and check this out…"

Goku, Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta and Yamcha landed in the city, it was a wasteland now… buildings destroyed, people lay dead on the floor. Suddenly Piccolo and Tien landed. Goku looked at them and said "Good of you to join us" Piccolo nodded "I heard what had happened and learned you came here, I saw Tien on the way here… what is the situation?" Vegeta looked at a body in front of him, putting his hand out as if to blast it "They look as if they where blasted… but I am not aware of others with such powers..." Tien nodded "We split up to find the culprit?" Goku nodded "He wont be far… I sense that this was purposely done to get our attention…" Yamcha seemed a little scared, but then said "Erm…well, we should go in teams then!" Vegeta turned to him and said "Don't even think about coming with me! I go alone!" Piccolo walked forward "Me too…" Goku looked at Yamcha and said "You stay with Krillin and Tien, Gohan comes with me" The three of them nodded.

Goku and Gohan wondered the city, disgusted at what they saw… this person gave no mercy to anyone, not even children. They heard a noise andd checked the building where it came from, to see the reporter from the TV, "Please don't hurt me!" he said Goku walked toward him "Don't worry… we are here to…" Suddenly the roof crashed in on the reporter, crushing him under the rubble, on top of it stood a young man, Goku seemed taken back by this person, if it wasn't for a few other features about him, he would look like a Super Sayian! He had medium length gold hair, which seemed semi-spiked up, weather it was because of his power or something from birth, he didn't know. Regular build, but it was his eyes that drew Goku's attention, they where a deep blue, but when he looked into him, he got the feeling this person was cold and merciless… no doubt this was they guy he was looking for… but, for some reason, Goku could not sense his power level! The young man smiled coldly, before firing a blast at Goku, catching him off guard, sending him into the building opposite, Gohan looked where his dad lay, he floored his dad with one blast, when he turned back, he was right in front of him, he had jumped at Gohan, he smiled, just as he hit Gohan to the side. He fled just as the other Z warriors made it. Piccolo helped Goku up "Are you alright?" Goku stood up "Oww! That guy is strong…" Vegeta grunted "That power level… how come I couldn't sense it?" Yamcha looked at Vegeta and said "What? You couldn't sense it? I could!" Krillin, Tien and Piccolo also acknowledged they could sense this guy. Vegeta grumbled "odd… how come Kakarot, his son and I could not sense him?" Goku shook his head "Beats me… but he is dangerous… we have to catch him!" Piccolo sighed "He will come for you… now he knows what you look like, he will find you… this much I know…" Goku seemed a bit nervous about this, but at least it meant others wouldn't have to die to get their attention.

The young man levitated in mid air in a cave not far from the city, suppressing his power level to the very minimum. His arms spread out a feint glow of energy surrounding him, his face showed trouble, as is he was struggling with something, seemingly frustrated, it looked as if whatever struggle was taking place, he was losing. He opened his eyes, they flashed red for an instant and smiled evilly. "The time… is now…" he said to himself.

It has been a week since the young male last showed up, the Z warriors trained everyday in case he showed up once more. Vegeta decided he wanted to train elsewhere, in private, so that no one could disturb him. He was throwing punches and kicks into the air quickly, he was in the same area he was defeated in by Kakarot… this place brought out his anger, something he felt would help with his training. He felt as if he was being watched, but couldn't sense a power level, when he realised just what was going on… he was here… somewhere, hiding from him. "Show yourself you ungrateful cur!" Vegeta shouted. He heard a laugh, which echoed through the canyons before hearing a voice "Prince Vegeta is it? Last of the Sayain bloodline with noble blood…" Vegeta seemed taken back by this, how did he know who and what he was. "Who are you? What are you?" He heard the laugh again "My name and what I am is unimportant… just know that I have been hunting you and your kind down… only to find you and one other Sayain alive! So… now I come to extract revenge!" Before Vegeta could say anything, he was hit in the back of the head by his foe with a backhand strike. Vegeta stumbled, but regained his footing, when he looked up, he saw who he was fighting, just as he struck vegeta in the stomach and then kicked him into the air. Vegeta stopped in the air and looked down at the canyons. "So, you want to play it like that huh? Fine!" Vegeta stuck out his arm "Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta fired his special move at the canyons blowing them to kingdom come! He looked around, knowing that his foe was not hit with that attack. He looked behind him, only to see his adversary floating there behind him! Vegeta seemed angry "Why can't I sense you?" He asked angrily. The young man laughed then said "I think I'll enlighten you on that fact… my race was wiped out by you Sayain's many years ago, we where once a warrior race, much like yours… only you couldn't detect our power levels… making us a threat to you, despite us being a peaceful race! You sayain's attacked, killing all who lived on my home planet, before blowing it up!" Vegeta grumbled "Well, your fault for being you then eh?" The man gave an angry looked on his face, quickly kneeing Vegeta in the stomach, then elbowing him in the back, sending him crashing to the floor, he then held his held his left hand to his right shoulder, while at the same time placing his right hand to rest his left elbow on. "You wish to piss me off, fine!" He pulled the right side of his body back, a small energy ball formed in his left hand, almost touching his shoulder. He then swung to the left a bit, so his body faced the area Vegeta was lying down, at the same time as his body swung, his left arm pivoted on his right hand, until it also faced the floor "Star Screamer!" He then fired the energy ball, which instantly grew almost 20 times its original size when fired, it hit the ground and Vegeta as he was getting up. The young man looked down at his handy work, proud of what he had just done, before flying off. Vegeta got up… he was severely wounded, that attack was strong, but not strong enough to kill a warrior such as Vegeta looked to the sky and swore revenge!
