Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, and Roshi were sitting at a table inside the Kame House as Bulma treated their injured comrades. "So when are we going to the hospital?" Roshi asked the group.
Goku shrugged and answered "Bulma said that the only really serious injuries were Krillin and that wasn't alarming. Yajirobe went to talk to Korin and is gonna bring back some Senzu soon." Gohan was currently wearing Vegeta's scouter and looking at everything, but he stopped when he scanned Vegeta.
As Vegeta was trying to sleep he heard "Mr. Vegeta?" he opened his eyes and saw Kakarot's runt stand there with Vegeta's red scouter. "You said your power level was 18,000." Vegeta looked at him and waved his hand for Gohan to go on. "This says your power level is 20,000."
Roshi spat his coffee out on the table and Goku jumped making his wrist hurt (Bulma put it into a split and then a sling so it wouldn't move, but it's Goku). Vegeta sighed and turned to them while explaining "Saiyans are amazing for many things, two in paticular. One is their tails that turn them into their great ape form. The other is that when they are beaten badly, paticuraly to near death, their power increases. Although, to have this power you need to have full Saiyan blood flow through you and have had your tail when you became an adult. I lost my tail when I was twenty two and reached adulthood at seventeen."
"So that doesn't apply to Gohan and I." Goku said in disapointment. Vegeta nodded and at that moment Oolong came over with a tray of drinks. Vegeta sniffed the tea and drank it warily, but immediatley put it down in disgust. Vegeta almost laughed as he heard Yamcha moan in pain, but then paid attention to Bulma sitting down next to them.
She sat down exhausted and said "I finally got some free time and looked at your armor and the others. It's made of unknown materials on the Earth, but I may be able to make a simalir version with our materials. Although, with the armor of the dead aliens I can use that to repair yours and make another one."
Vegeta sat there with his arms crossed and asked "What about the ship, does it have simalir materials?"
Bulma nodded and said "True, but it's a space ship we could fight them somewhere they wouldn't destroy our planet."
Vegeta shook his head and said "There is still my ship we can improve and make better. What about the scouters?"
Bulma smiled and answered "Well, it's basically simple, but the glass like piece is gonna be hard to replicate. I can make my own version that can be better. Also I asked my father to send some people to bring your ship here."
Everyone (Besides Vegeta) jumped when they heard the scouter beep repeatedly. Vegeta sighed and put it on. "Oh great I get to slaughter more." Vegeta said as he stood up and put on his armor. "Who can still fight?" Vegeta asked the blue haired woman.
Bulma crossed her arms and said "Chiatzou should be good and Piccolo if you can get him to wake up. When Yajirobe get's back everyone should be able to go. What are we up against anyway."
Vegeta sighed he wasn't used to answering woman, but he needed their trust. "It's a bigger group, but with less powerful members. The strongest one there is Appule, he's almost 7,000 and there are four regular henchmen with him. The real problem is the Saibaimen. They're like plants that we use to take over large areas quickly. There are various types, but the strongest are the gray ones at 1,200. The blue ones are what they're probaly using, they can only reach 200 so you should be okay. Another advantage is that they can't use ki. "
"So that means no energy attacks or flying." Piccolo said and everyone noticed that he was awake. He had a bandage on his cheek and several visible bruises, but seemed to move reguraly. Chiatzou was floating next to him with his fist balled and a determined look on his face.
Vegeta nodded with agreement along with the Namekian and then pointed at Chiatzou while saying "When I first got here you tried to use a mental attack against me." Chiatzou nodded up and down then Vegeta continued "Saibaimen are very simple minded, so you should be able to take control of them easily."
As Vegeta talked to Piccolo and Chiatzou, Goku stood up and unwrapped his cast. "I'm going with you." Goku stated "I'll have to be wary, but I can still use energy blasts." Vegeta shook his head and waved Goku off. "Why not?" Goku asked Vegeta.
Vegeta looked at him and said "Out of all of you, you're the strongest. We can't afford to lose you and if you slow down for one moment you're dead. You wait for the fat samurai to come back with your magical nuts and bring the rest with you. If you don't want them to destroy a city we should leave now, but I need somebody to watch my back." At that point Vegeta picked up Gohan and asked "Can you fly?"
Gohan nodded up and down but Goku interuptted "No way Vegeta! He can fly, but he's only taken basic training!"
Vegeta pushed his scouter into Goku's hand and said "Check! The boy's power level is 124! He won't fight anyone I just need him to tell me if somebody is coming from behind!" At this point Goku wouldn't back up so Vegeta grabbed his hurt wrist and squeezed. Goku was forced onto his knees in pain.
Bulma immediatley was at Goku's side and said "Goku just drop it! If you think about it Gohan we'll be the safest person in the world with Vegeta guarding him." Bulma was able to calm Goku down and Vegeta walked into the living room. Raditz was laying asleep on the floor, but was awoken as Vegeta kicked him in the side.
"Wake up! It's time to work!" Vegeta yelled as Raditz grogilly got up and Vegeta explained the situation to him. Raditz put on Cui's beaten up armor for some protection and they followed Vegeta outside. Vegeta turned toward Goku and said "Bring everyone you can once your back to one hundred percent." With that Vegeta jetted off with Piccolo, Chiatzou, Raditz, and Gohan.
They flew for five minutes until they saw a city in flames. People were in a mass panic and many were trying to run out of the city. From here they could see five people above the city laughing hysterically. Vegeta could make out Appule the blue reptile like alien covered in yellow spots. There were two other human like warriors except one of them had a horn sticking out of his forehead. There seemed to be another yellow warrior of the same race as Appule. Vegeta couldn't see the last one since he blew it away.
They were all startled at Vegeta's sudden presence and immediatley flew off into the direction of the mountains. Vegeta blasted after them with Gohan at his hip. Raditz turned toward Piccolo and Chiatzou then said "Go clear that bridge so more people can get out. I'll go directly into the middle." They nodded and left.
Piccolo landed at the middle of the bridge leading away from the city and saw a Saibaman for the first time. He seemed reptile, but had blue skin and only came up to Piccolo's waist. It was on top of a car trying to break in and kill the couple inside, but then it saw Piccolo. It immediatley jumped towards him and met a ki blast to the face. Piccolo then looked up and found himself surronded by six of them. Two jumped at him from his left, so Piccolo thought fast and grabbed the dead Saibaman by his legs and swung him like a bat. It batted those two away and one of them grabbed Piccolo's shoulders from behind. Piccolo grabbed the arm and flung the body over himself. In a swift motion Piccolo stomped on it's neck and charged another. Piccolo grabbed it's shoulders and slammed his head against it's, Piccolo then picked it up and smashed his head into a car.
A second later two Saibamen grabbed both of his arms and held them down. Piccolo struggled to break free as one another came rushing from his front. Piccolo opened his mouth and used his mouth energy wave. A beam of yellow ki shot out of his mouth and impaled the Saibaman. The other two were so suprised their grips were loosened and Piccolo slammed their heads together. With their necks broke Piccolo looked for Chiatzou. He flew high into the air and used a few ki blasts to destroy several unsuspecting Saibamen. Piccolo saw Chiatzou protecting a few people as Saibamen rushed them.
Chiatzou used his psychic abilities to throw large pieces of debris at Saibamen and was even able to control some to fight eachother. Piccolo could see two of them wrestling around together on the ground. Piccolo swooped down and cleared a way for the people to follow and several Saibamen charged them. Piccolo rushed forward to meet them and gave the people more time to escape. Piccolo shoulder checked one away then kicked another back and hit it with a ki blast. Piccolo destroyed anything that came near him, but couldn't keep them all from getting past him. Chiatzou flew underneath the bridge and saw the strong river raging underneath it. Using his telepathy he gave Piccolo a warning and then destroyed that side of the bridge's support beams. That side of the bridge collapsed and the Saibamen were crushed or drowned. Chiatzou looked up and saw Piccolo floating there breathing heavily. The two regrouped on the rest of the bridge when a woman ran frantically to them "You have to help! They kidnapped people and brought them together in the middle of town!"
Vegeta grunted as he dodged another ki blast. He had chased Apulle and his men into these rocky mountains where they had split up. He was now chasing the yellow alien with Gohan at a safe distance behind him. He caught up to it and shoved him into the mountain side. Vegeta backed away and shot a ki blast above him making a rock fall crushing the yellow alien. Vegeta stopped for a second so Gohan could catch his breath and said "Remind me too come back for their armor when we're done." Just as he finished saying that the human like alien brought his elbow down on him from above. Vegeta was knocked down and hit by many ki blasts. Vegeta shrugged them off and charged back at the man. Vegeta grabbed his leg and slammed his body into the rock wall. Vegeta moved in close and slammed his fist into the mans side breaking ribs. The man screamed and Vegeta threw him down then watched him slam against the ground. Vegeta silenced him with a few ki blasts and saw Apulle in the corner of his eye.
Vegeta set off after him and as he turned a corner was kicked in the head. Vegeta was knocked back and Apulle pounded him into a wall. Apulle backed up and used a continuous evergy wave that shot several ki blasts directly at Vegeta. Gohan thought Vegeta was done for, so he charged Apulle headbutted him in the chest. The force was strong enough to break his battle armor and make him cough blood. Vegeta came flying out of the smoke and punched Apulle across the face and slammed his head against the rock wall. Apulle fell from the sky and landed with a thud. Vegeta was heading back when he heard Gohan say "Mr. Vegeta, weren't there five?"
Raditz ripped of the blue Saibaman's arm and threw it at another one when they surronded him. He killed the stunned Saibaman with a ki blast and stomped the neck of the armless one. Raditz had been in the city for a good thirty minutes and saw no end to the Saibamen. He could kill them all himself, but that would take days. As he walked down an empty street Raditz felt like someone was watching him. He scanned the buildings around him and saw a dark Saibaman in a window. Raditz destroyed that window with a ki blast and walked away laughing. As he was striding away confidently something tackled him from behind. He landed with a thud and quickly turned around shooting a large ki blast out of his hands.
Raditz was suprised when he saw nothing there. He got up and heard an annoying laughing noise. Frustrated, Raditz scanned the street, but saw nothing around him. As his back was turned something ran past him and clawed his back. Raditz felt the armor gave way and could feel blood dripping down his body. He reached back to assess his wounds, but a blur sprinted across in front of him and clawed at his legs. Raditz yelled and felt his legs, but another blur came and clawed his face. Raditz could feel some blood drip down into his eyes from a cut at his forehead. 'I will not fail Vegeta!' Raditz thought, enraged at how weak he was. Raditz stood up and waited. Raditz reached his hand out and grabbed the blur. He gripped his neck and punched it repeatedly. He took a good look at it and saw a brown Saibaman. He scanned it and saw his 500 power level. With a yell Raditz punched the Saibaman in the stomach and went all the way through. Raditz threw the dead body down and saw two more brown Saibamen at both ends of the street.
Raditz yelled with rage and they charged at him. He quickly flew above them and when they met together he shot many ki blasts at them. Raditz flew down and grabbed their heads smacking them together. He kicked one down and punched the other in the gut. As it grabbed itself Raditz kicked at it's leg making it fall over and punched it in the chest as it fell down. Raditz saw the other Saibaman recovering so he grabbed the downed one and flung it at him. Just as they made contact Raditz used his Saturday Crush technique on the two. A pink sphere emerged from his hand and incinerated the two on contact. Raditz was suprised when his scouter started beeping repeatedly showing a high power level flying somewhere above him. He looked to the sky and thought 'It's too weak to be Lord Vegeta', after a second he saw Lorce. Cui's puppet who constantly mocked the Saiyans.
Raditz yelled and flew upwards, crashing into Lorce. Lorce was knocked aside and yelled "Raditz, you Saiyan trash! How dare you touch me!"
"Don't worry, I'm equally apalled at having to touch filth!" Raditz yelled back at the horned warrior.
The henchman growled at Raditz's taunt and yelled back "You always had a sharp tongue that I wanted to rip out of your mouth. Now without your Prince of the monkeys here to protect you I can do that! How does it feel knowing that you're about to die! I've always been stronger than you!"
Raditz balled his fists in anger and called back "When I escaped your fish faced leader I gained a power up! Although, that's just a useless Saiyan trait." Raditz smiled at his use of sarcasm and the look on Lorces' face when he scanned Raditz's power.
Lorce ripped off the souter and screamed "You're only 1800! I'm 2200 and can still kick your ass. Which is what master Cui is probaly doing to your prince!"
Raditz laughed hysterically and said "Your master is at the bottom of the ocean and soon you will join him!" With that Raditz charged into Lorce and they started trading blows.
Piccolo and Chiatzou watched as the Saibamen brought a crowd of people together in the town square. The blue Saibamen laughed as they terrified their captives and followed the instructions of three brown ones. Piccolo was about to make a plan when he felt several ki's moving toward them. He turned around on the building they were standing on and saw the rest of Earth's warriors coming towards them. Chiatzou jumped for joy when Tien landed and Goku immediatley asked "Where's Gohan?"
Piccolo turned toward the mountains and said "When we first got here he left with Vegeta to chase after the stronger aliens. We haven't heard from them since, but I can still sense their ki."
Krillin saw that the worry didn't leave Goku's face and said "I'm sure they're fine Goku."
Piccolo then said "Your brother may need help Goku." Goku jumped at the mention of his brother and Piccolo continued "A little while ago he started to fight a stronger ki and they've been at it ever since."
Goku nodded and asked "You can handle things here?" Chiatzou was about to say something, but Piccolo cut him off with a menacing glare. With Piccolo's approval Goku jetted off to find his brother.
"What are we up against?" Tien asked Piccolo as Chiatzou hugged his leg.
Piccolo turned to look back at the Saibamen and said "Look for yourself."
The warriors walked toward the edge and Yajirobe almost fainted. "There must be over fifty of them!" Yamcha yelled.
"More like a hundred!" Krillin screamed.
Tien turned toward Piccolo and asked "Do you have a plan?"
Piccolo nodded and said "Chiatzou can take control of their stronger leaders and lead some away."
Piccolo pointed out the leaders to the others, but Chiatzou said "There might be a problem with that."
"What do you mean?" Yajirobe asked the psychic.
"When I take control of one person it's easy for me too still use my other abilities and theirs to the fullest. When I control two people it splits my brain and I can't function as well." Chiatzou answered the chubby samurai.
"So you need somebody to protect you while you do this?" Tien asked and Chiatzou nodded cheerfully.
"There's another problem to." Yamcha said and everyone turned to him "While we fight the remaining lizard things, what about the people? There are too many of them for us to stop from attacking them."
Piccolo mumbled "moron" under his breath and said "If you idiots let me finish I'll get to that!" That shut them up and Piccolo continued "Like I said Chiatzou will take control of those two leaders and lead as many of them as possible away. Now look over there at that building directly in front of us." Piccolo paused so the Earthlings could take a look and said "That's where the least amount of Saibamen are and that's where the two brown leaders are. "If you idiots observed your surrondings at all you would realise that the harbor is behind that building. Yajirobe will go behind that building and find a big enough boat to get the people out of here. We'll be fighting them off and making sure they don't get into the harbor. When Yajirobe is done he'll come back here to protect Chiatzou."
"And if we can't kill them all?" Krillin asked hesitantly.
"Hopefully with Goku, Raditz can kill whover that was and get back here quickly. Alright Yajirobe, are you ready to go?" Piccolo finished.
The samurai had a determined look come on his face and took out his katana. He turned toward the others and said "Not at all."
DariusQ here and I hope you guys don't think this chapter was a little too much. I always wanted to see what would happen if the fighters were in a siege or something simalir like that and I hope you find it interesting too. Next time see Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Chiatzou, Krillin, and Yajirobe face overwhelming forces. Raditz and Goku come together to fight a stronger foe and find out what Vegeta and Gohan are up too.
