Last time on "A Saiyan Rescue Mission":
The door slid open as the footsteps stopped infront of it, and a dark figure entered the room.
But the figure was only dark because that side of the room was dark.
"...!", was Raditz and Nappa's shocked expression the figure stepped into the light, and they saw who it was...

Out of the darkness, an ugly, smelly, dark-green headless zombie stepped.
Rotten flesh hung off it's body, it's head was clean off, the blood had already dried on it.
It's body was extremely skinny, almost to the extent of a skeleton's.
It's ribs showed clearly through the thin layer of rotten green flesh that covered it.
It's hands were bony, as well as it's arms, and all it's other body parts.
It was a deformed green mess.
But although the head was gone, it was still active, and sauntered towards the two Saiyans with it's arms stretched out.
Although it was not clear what it was going to do once it reached them:
A zombie without a head isn't able to bite.
But none of that mattered to Raditz and Nappa: They were still shivering at the sight of it...
"Where's it's fuckin' head?! The whole thing's stupid! Let's get outta here!", Nappa barked, and the two Saiyans ran back towards the staircase.
But the sight they were greeted with at the top of the stairs scared them even more:
At the top of the staircase, floated a white, red-eyed ghost.
They didn't hesitate for a moment after seeing it, and the two teenage Saiyans turned and ran the other way, to the silver door, but the headless one still blocked the way.
Raditz, however, wasn't as scared of a headless zombie as he was for a ghost, and decided to take out the zombie instead.
"Raditz's super screw kick!", Raditz shouted, jumping into the air with his legs outstretched, and spinning at the speed of a drill on slow, but it was enough
to knock the monster flat into the wall.
"Good work!", shouted Nappa, as the two of them raced towards the door.
As soon as they reached it, Nappa grabbed the handle and swung it open, almost knocking Raditz's unconscious in the process,
but they didn't have time for any delay's, and the two Saiyans jumped into the room on the other side, and slammed the door shut behind them.
As soon as the door closed, both Saiyans crouched against it.
"(Pant, pant)", both the Saiyans breathed in heavily, attempting to catch their breath.
"Phew, we made it...", Raditz said, resting his head against the door.
The room where they sat was infact a large tunnel, with two doors on each side of the wall, and a large door at the end.
"Well, let's get moving.", Nappa ordered, and the two Saiyans got up to continue their mission.
They entered the first door on the left first.
There was nothing much inside, it was just an empty room.
That's what they thought.
But as they were leaving, a glint coming from a corner in the room caught Raditz's eye.
"A key...?", Raditz asked no one in particular, as he bent down to pick up the shiny object.
"Must be to unlock one of the rooms in this tunnel...", Nappa guessed, and the two left the now entirely empty room.
They decided to check the second door on the left half next.
As Raditz opened the door, he was rewarded with a bite on the arm.
"Argh!", Raditz yelled as he held his abused arm, and stumbled backwards.
Both warriors looked forward to see the attacker, but were surprised to see a 5 ft rat crouching in the darkness, staring at them with angry red-eyes.
"Uh-oh...", Nappa muttered, awestruck at the size of the rat.
"Let's blast 'im!", Raditz barked, determined to get revenge, and began charging up an energy blast.
"Haa!", Raditz said, as he threw blast at the rat, sure that it would destroy the creature.
But the rat would not be taken out that easily, and he caught the blast in his mouth, and swallowed...
"...!", Raditz blinked in surprise.
The creature gave as much of a grin as a rat could give, and charged towards Raditz.
"I'll stop him!", Nappa roared as he jumped infront of Raditz, and threw a killer-kick at the rat that sent it crashing into the wall.
Seeing that the creature was still alive, the two Saiyans took advantage of it's injury, and began rapidly firing at it, which destroyed the creature completely,
along with burning a hole in the tunnel wall...
"Hah! That'll teach him!", Raditz said, putting his hands on his hips, and throwing his head back in laughter.
Leaving the room, the two Saiyans head back to the main tunnel hall.
"Should we even bother checking those rooms?", Nappa asked, eager to get out of the tunnel.
"Of course, there might be something useful in it...", Raditz replied, and they opened the door of the first room on the right.
Raditz was right, in the middle of the room stood a small white box, from the bottom leading to the top was a piece of red ribbon, forming a knot at the top of the box
"Let's see what's inside!", Raditz muttered, and reached out to tear open the box.
But just before his hand could touch the box, a sword flew down and plunged into the ground he his hand was.
Luckily for Raditz, he pulled his hand away just in time.
"What the heck?", Raditz asked.
His question was answered with the sound of maniacal laughter from above.
They looked up to see a man come falling down from above them.
As he landed crouched in the ground, he stood up with a smirk, and spoke in a haughty voice:
"I am Ziegfried, master swordsman. This box is mine. If I were you, porcupine, I'd grab baldy he and run."
"You look more like a manicurist, now scram!", Raditz barked at him, snickering.
"You have spewed nonsense...", the manicurist said with a scowl.
Pulling his sword out of the ground, he brought it forward with all his strength towards Raditz's neck, sure that it would take Raditz's head right off.
But instead of it causing him any damage, the blade off the sword broke right off the handle as it came in contact with Raditz's neck.
"Hahahahahahaha!", Raditz laughed hysterically at the shocked look on the self-proclaimed 'Swordsman's face.
But much to their confusement, his look of shock turned into a grin, and then he too began laughing.
"You may be more powerful, but I'll still laugh last!", he said.
Crouching down, he picked up the box, and took off out the room, leaving the Saiyans dumbstruck.
"...", was both Raditz and Nappa's thoughts, and they turned to look at each other.
"It was probably crap anyway!", Raditz said, and the two Saiyans left the room empty-handed.
"Just one door left...", Nappa said, ready to get this done with.
"It's locked...", Raditz said as he tried to get the door open.
"No matter! Stand back!", Nappa ordered.
Raditz stood back, allowing Nappa enough room to bring his foot down against the door, knocking it clear off it's hinges.
"Let me guess, it's empty.", Nappa said, not even bothering to look inside the room.
"Don't be such a pessimist.", Raditz said, sauntering into the room, only to find it empty.
The long-haired Saiyan simply turned around after noticing his comrade was right, shrugged his shoulders, and continued on towards the main door.
Once there, he reached into his pocket, pulled out the key, inserted it into the lock, and the door was open.
"Finally! I'm already sick of this stupid tunnel!", Nappa said as they walked outside.
It seemed the tunnel lead into another town, which seemed familiar to Raditz.
"Hmm...ghost infested cave, eternally dark town, depressed looking people...", Raditz muttered as he looked at the people that roamed the town,
whose faces could depress a hyper-active person on a good day.
"Yep, this is Threed.", Raditz said, now sure of their location.
After a full minute of standing in one place and surveying the town, Raditz finally said:
"This is the only place the fat bastard could've taken Vegeta, he must be here somewhere...Or atleast,
we'll find some clues to his whereabouts over here, so let's get going...", Raditz said, and the two Saiyans journeyed forth into the depressing town of Threed...
