A little birthday shoutout to one of my closest friends, Sai Kunai Blade. Sorry I took to long to work on this chapter. Better late than never I guess? Now without further ado, let's do this shit!
We watched, somewhat disturbed as the Z-warriors lay dead in heaps with Saibamen surrounding each of their bodies. Not too far away, there was another cluster of about 5 Saibamen or so. They communicated in between themselves and looked into the distance as Goku flew in. "Damn!" He said, looking to the side as both Vegeta AND Nappa flew towards him in their Great Ape forms.
"And you'd just revived as well!" Vegeta taunted. Goku used his Kaioken and flew in towards Vegeta, dodging one punch, only to have to block another, which easily broke through his defenses and knocked him back. This, plus the strain Kaioken puts on him completely drained him, sending him to the ground, totally at the mercy of the two massive apes.
"Ebon's scales!" I said in shock.
"Is this part supposed to happen? He's about to get double-teamed by those monkeys!" Dumplin said, to which I gave him a deadpanned look.
Trunks shook his head and looked at us. "Right here... History is changing. I would really appreciate your help." He explained.
"Right. So, can Dumplin come with me?" I asked.
"Yes. As long as he's either touching you or the scroll." Trunks explained. I nodded at this and Dumplin and I focused on the scroll.
We now go back to the past, seeing Tien Shinhan and Yamcha fighting back to back. Tien delivered a strong elbow to one Saibaman's torso area and Yamcha blasted another one with the kamehameha. They were doing well as a team, but they were still surrounded by Saibamen. Suddenly, a familiar light appeared off to the side and the two heroes that was Dumplin and I, appeared before them, Dumplin blasting a few Saibamen rushing in as did I took two Saibamen to the left and right of Tien and Yamcha. "We're here to help." I said.
"Oh, look, Vegeta! New people! You can meet the Saibamen!" Nappa said excitedly, beginning to point at them. "That one's Snuggles! And that one's Foufou! And that one's Cabbagehead! And that one's OTHER Cabbagehead! And that one's Vegeta Jr.!" Nappa announced, before Vegeta blasted that one. "Vegeta Jr., nooooo! Hey, wait! There are more, Vegeta! That one can be the NEW Vegeta Jr.!" Nappa said, pointing to one, but then Dumplin blew it up. "Nooooooo!" He shouted again.
"Do you know who we are? We are the two strongest Saiyans in the universe! And I... am the prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta shouted arrogantly.
"I'm Nappa and that's Vegeta! He was a prison bitch!" Nappa said, quickly at the end.
"GODDAMMIT, NAPPA!" Vegeta shouted angrily as I chuckled at this.
(As you can see, the Saibamen in this history are just stronger. And there are WAY more of them! Just reduce the number of Saibamen!) Trunks instructed from our earpieces.

"Got it." I confirmed.
Dumplin looked around at our situation. "We're outnumbered... just the way Dumplin likes!" The majin said with a smirk as he was surrounded. He then jumped into the air, fires them away with barrage of ki blasts.
"We can do this! Watch your backs and hit them as hard as you can! Don't get blindsided!" I said, throwing a volley of fireballs over the battlefield and destroying a large number of Saibamen.
Gohan and Krillin were fighting as well, but began to visibly weaken. "Mr. Piccolo... I can't fight much more... There are too many of them!" Gohan said.
"I know I say this a lot. Like... probably every fight... but this time I mean it! It's hopeless!" Krillin shouted, struggling to defend himself against 2 Saibamen.
Yamcha then stood tall with inspirational music playing behind him. "Come on, guys! We worked ourselves half to death with our training! So I know as long as we stick together, we'll take on these Saiyans! And we will wi-!" He started his speech, but just before he could finish, a Saibaman jumped onto his back and locked its grip on him before exploding, killing him instantly.
"Yeah- oh!" Krillin said, before looking to see what happened.
I easily defeated a circle of Saibamen around me, but then realized just how many there still were. "Damn! We're barely making a scratch in their numbers!" I said, kick one away, headbutting another and blasting a volley of blood bolts at a few more coming in from my side.
Tien was doing about as well as I was: beating them left and right, but still not doing much to their total numbers. "Alright, then! Try this, you bastards!" He shouted, pulling one arm back and readying a ki blast, but before he could throw it, a Saibaman grabbed his arm just like it did to Yamcha, before exploding. Tien managed to survive the explosion itself, but he creamed in pain at the critical injury he received.
"Looks like he's been... disarmed!" Vegeta said, laughing a bit as he saw the bleeding stump that was Tien's arm. There was a short silence before...
"I get it!" Nappa said.
"Shut it, Nappa." Vegeta said.
Chiaotzu looked around, seeing the chaos happening around him and knew he had to do something. He flew towards a group of 3 Saibamen, grabbing 2 of them by the arm and bear-hugging the last one, glowing with a strange energy as he flew towards the sky. Tien realized in horror what he was doing at that moment. "Chiaotzu! You get down from there right now!" He shouted.
He heard his tiny friend's voice in his head at that moment. (No! I have to do this Tien Shinhan! For all the people of Earth, our friends, the newcomers that came to help us! And especially you!) He said telepathically.
"But Chiatzu-!" Tien started.
(Don't worry! You can just wish me back with the Dragon Balls! Now goodbye, my friend!) He said, building up more and more energy, now perfectly visible to everyone on the battlefield.
"That won't work, Chiaotzu! We already wished you back once with the Dragon Balls, we can't do it twice!" Tien tried to reason with him.
Chiaotzu paused at this moment. (Wait, wha-?) He asked, but too late. His energy built up to a critical limit and he exploded, taking the 3 Saibamen, plus some that tried to help their comrades with him.
"No! Chiaotzu! CHIAOTZU!" Tien screamed mournfully.
"That poor guy. He did get us results." Dumplin solemnly said, shaking his head a bit, playing all the pros and cons in his head.
"He was a true hero. His selfless act was not in vain." I said, bowing my head in respect.
"Aww, dang it, Vegeta! He used Self-destruct! I hate it when they do that." Nappa said bitterly.
"You bastards... This is for Chiaotzu!" Tien screamed as he flew into a horde of Saibamen, kicking away away a few before sending more flying with fast and powerful punches. But soon, he was quickly overrun by the Saibamen, being thrashed and thrown around everywhere.
Vegeta looked at Nappa curiously at that moment. "Do they seem stronger than usual? They seem stronger than usual." He said.
"Sh-shouldn't we help him?" Gohan asked Piccolo.
"Can't you see he has to fight this battle on his own! He's fighting for the honor of his fallen comrade!" Piccolo scolded.
"Besides, we're PRETTY busy over here!" Dumplin said, holding back a small wave of Saibamen.
"HELP ME, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP ME!" Tien screamed as he was being pulverized.
"Like a hero..." Piccolo said admirably.
"Mr. Piccolo! Help him!" Gohan shouted.
"Fine! You, let's go!" Piccolo said, glancing at me before taking off.
"On it!" I agreed, the two of us knocking away several Saibamen before we reached the main cluster attacking Tien and obliterated them with powerful energy blasts. But sadly, literally the SECOND before we save him, a Saibaman managed to break his neck. "No!" I said. "Well, you'll definitely pay for that. Starting now!" I shouted, charging my demon energy and obliterated the entire group of Saibamen that had beaten him.
"Hey, you guys mind clearing the dead bodies out now, they're kinda corpsing up the place." Vegeta said.
"You bastard!" I growed glaring at him.
End music
Vegeta then spoke up. "Congratulations. Each of you has killed a enough Raditzes to compete with him. Teach them a lesson, Nappa." Vegeta said, gesturing to the taller Saiyan.
"Yeah, right out of Saiyan University." Nappa agreed.
"Hold on, you went to college?" Vegeta asked.
"Yep!" Nappa confirmed.
"I got these Saibamen. You take on the other Saiyans and keep them alive." Dumplin whispered, to which I nodded.
"What the hell could someone like you possibly major in?" Vegeta demanded.
"Child psychology." Nappa answered.
"Wow! That sounds really interesting!" Gohan said.

"With a minor in pain!" Nappa said, rushing in and attacking. Krillin and Gohan jumped back as Piccolo and I stayed up front to fight.
"Get back!" I said, pushing Piccolo out of the way and blocking the powerful haymaker Nappa threw with some effort. From there we traded blows for a few moments before I managed to duck under one of his attacks and deliver a powerful uppercut to stun him, allowing me to deliver a barrage of side kicks with my left leg before jumping off it, turning a bit and delivering a jumping side kick with my right leg to send him flying into a cliffside, a few rocks falling on and around him, but not burying him.
"Nice work. Now it's my turn- where'd he go?" Piccolo asked, getting ready to attack, only to find Nappa was no longer there.
"I'm back!" Nappa said, appearing from nowhere and bringing his elbow down on Piccolo's head, bringing him down in one shot, before spinning and swinging him arm back at me, but I did a series of backflips to get away from him.
Then I fly in throwing another flurry of punches and kicks at Nappa, while engulfed in demonic energy to increase my speed to the point it would seem like fighting 4 people at once, but he was still fighting like a champ. (I'm putting this much pressure on him and he still won't fall! What kind of incredible mental discipline has this guy gone through?!) I wondered.
"~Patty cake, patty cake, baker's MAN~!" Nappa started singing, managing to throw a haymaker that hit me in the chest, sending me flying, then he chased after me. "~Bake me a cake as fast as you CAN~!" delivering a kick that send me skidding across the ground. "Good effort, but I'm the patty cake champion." Nappa said. "Well, it's been fun kid! Well, for me, probably not for you." Nappa said, readying an attack.
I struggled, but got up and faced him. "Oh, don't worry. The game's not over yet. And it's about to get a whole lot more fun for both of us!" I said seriously, getting ready to fight again.
"Okay! Here I come!" He shouted, rushing in.
"Wait! My turn!" I said, bringing him to a halt.
Vegeta did a back take at this, looking at his subordinate in confusion and annoyance. "Nappa, what the hell are you doing?" He demanded.
"It's his turn, Vegeta. I have to wait for him." Nappa explained. Vegeta stammered, unsure of what to say. Suddenly, his nose started bleeding. "You okay, Vegeta?" Nappa asked.
"Yes, Nappa. Just an aneurysm out of sheer stupidity." Vegeta explained angrily.
"Wow. Didn't think you were that stupid, Vegeta." Nappa said, to which the Saiyan Prince screamed in fury.
"Now...Here it comes!" I said, I said, creating a javelin out of blood infuses with my demonic energy. "Now take this...DRACONIAN JAVELIN!" I said as I threw at the bald Saiyan.
"Oooh, a stick, Vegeta!" Nappa said.
"Nappa, no! It's a trick!" Vegeta warned.
'But Vegeta...tricks are for kiiiids." He said.
"...know what? Second thought, Nappa. Catch it. Catch it with your teeth."
"Yay! Like a doggy!" Then suddenly moved his head in a millisecond from the attack but leaves a small cut on his cheek.
"Argh, no, my face! My precious modeling career!" Nappa shouted in pain and anger."You know... I was trying to be a team player... Trying to be a nice guy!" He said, charging up a powerful ki blast in his right hand.
"You killed... half our friends!" Krillin snapped.
"I said TRYING!" Nappa shouted, throwing the blast at me, but I dodged the blast heading towards Krillin, who was standing a few paces behind me.
"You're failing- oh god!" He shouted, dodging at the last minute, still taking some of the damage from the heat and explosions.
"And so are you!" Nappa said, preparing to throw another blast from his left hand.
(I can't dodge this one or he'll get hit!) I thought, preparing to tank it.
"I'm back!" Piccolo said, firing a blast into Nappa's back, stopping him.
"ARGH! I see what you did there." Nappa said as he realized his words were used against him.
"Yeah... Now it's just you and me, big guy... and I'm gonna kick your ass!" Piccolo started, before Gohan flew in and kicked him in the head, sending him flying through a plateau and burying him, shocking everyone. Even the fight between my team and the Saibaman stopped out of shock. "Take that you insufferable FUCKING simpleton!" He snapped.
"Whoa, Gohan! What the hell?!" Piccolo said in shock.
"Oh... I'm sorry, Mr. Piccolo... I didn't mean to snap like that." Gohan apologized.
"No, that's good! Stay snapped! Stay snapped!" Piccolo and I told him together, but Nappa quickly re-emerged, looking pissed.
"Ugh... Goddammit." Piccolo said.
"You-a make-a me SO mad!" Nappa snapped, charging up another blast in his left hand as Gohan looked on, terrified. "DIE!" He shouted, flinging the blast at Gohan, but Piccolo jumped in the way, taking the blast for him and screaming in pain as Krillin and I looked on, shocked.
To everyone's amazement, however, Piccolo was still standing. "Yeah... That's right... I can take anything you can dish out- Oh, god! There go my organs!" He said, crashing to the ground.
I looked in horror at this, before turning to Nappa in anger. "You're going to pay for this. I swear by my blood in my body no one else except for YOU will die today." I said, engulfing with more demonic energy than usual. "Now you'll pay!" I snapped, taking a more aggressive and fearsome fighting stance.
Nappa clearly noticed my rise in power and looked back at Vegeta. "Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?" Nappa asked.
Vegeta took it off at that moment. "It's... 1006." He said.
"Wha- really?" Nappa asked, surprised at the low number for such a performance.
"Yeah! Kick his ass, Nappa!" Vegeta said, re-equipping the scouter.
"Yay!" He said, rushing in, but this time I was more than ready, dealing quick and powerful blows against the much larger opponent and dealing serious damage.
We pushed each other back and took a few seconds to rest, as we were both getting winded, but then Goku showed up and looked around. "Hey, guys! What'd I miss?" He asked, then saw the various dead bodies of his friends. "Oh... Are they all..." He was about to ask, but quickly realized they were. "Tien Shinhan... Piccolo... Yamcha- oh, wow, especially Yamcha. Wait! Where's Chiaotzu?" He asked.
"Oh, he's here. And there... and there..." Krillin said, pointing to various places.
"Krillin! Too soon!" Gohan said.
He then turned to the Saiyans angrily. "Hey, which one of you did all this?!" He demanded.
"Neither. It was these little freaks." Dumplin said, holding the decapitated head of a Saibaman.
"Except for the Chiaotzu! He blew himself up! Oh and the Namekian was me! TOTALLY callin' it!" Nappa said.
Goku growled at this, but I held my arm out. "No. I got this guy. You need to focus you're energy on the other Saiyan. He's still in top form." I said. Goku hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"Fine, I'll deal with the LOWER CLASS warrior." Vegeta said, rolling his eyes and rushing at Goku as the fights continued.
Nappa still managed to defend himself, but just barely and still took a terrible beating, staggering falling to one knee after I delivered one final, powerful elbow to the back of the head.
"That doesn't seem right..." Vegeta said, re-examining my power level. He then realized what the problem was. "Wait, wait, wait, Nappa!" Vegeta said as I kicked him in the face, sending him to Vegeta's feet.
"WHAT?!" The older Saiyan asked in pain.
"I had the scouter upside down. It's over 8,000... rawr." He said in annoyance, crushing his scouter (Nappa's power level is somewhere in 7,000. As you are worn out along with him in the cutscene, implying he was still a match for you, I had to think of a number lower than 9,000).
"Why do you sound so bored?" Nappa asked.
"Because, even with Kakarot here as well, he's STILL not a threat!" Vegeta said proudly.
"But-" Nappa started.
"To me." He explained.
(That's a little discouraging. But with Goku here, it will be easier. Besides, Trunks trusted me to do this.) I thought, renewing my courage and commitment.
"And once we get the Dragon Balls, we can wish for immortality! Then on one will be able to stop us!" Vegeta continued.
"Wait, but... you killed Piccolo." Goku said.
"And your point is?" Vegeta asked.
"Well, if he's dead, the Dragon Balls don't work." Goku explained.
Vegeta was shocked at this, but shock quickly turned to fury as Nappa spoke again. "Aww! And I totally killed that guy! Oh well, at least we still had fun getting here. Right, Vegeta? Vegeta? Remember the bug planet? Vegeta?" Nappa kept trying to get the shorter Saiyan's attention, only succeeding to anger him even more until he finally threw the injured Saiyan into the air and killed him with an explosion from a massive ki blast, smiling into the air at what used to be his daily headache.
We all watched in silence and horror as Vegeta continued to smile at his minor victory. Eventually, though, someone had to break the silence. "That's fucked up!" Dumplin said. "You don't have don't have to do him like that!"
