My apologies for the wait. Had a lot of stuff to do, but here's the next chapter! Enjoy and Happy Reading!
The Saibamen pounced on me, the green ones leading the attack. I immediately blocked the blow and knocked it back. Two more came at me from behind, but seeing them coming I jumped into the air and landed behind them. I then fired multiple rapid fire Ki blasts at them. Both saibamen defensively blocked as the ki blasts hit them causing a cloud of smoke to cover them. Then out from the smoke a brown saibamen leaped out and before I had a chance to block, it punched me square in the gut. The saibaman smirked thinking it hit me right on the dot. I had to admit, the creature was fast and it's punch hurt a little, but not that much. I grabbed the saibaman by it's arm, glaring at it. It tried to break free, but I held on like bulldog with it's toy.
"Did you really think you could hurt me with that?" I asked it. "Because that is not gonna work!"
I threw the saibaman away from me and I fired a beam of ki. After letting out a screech and not being able to block it, the saibaman met it's end by my ki blast.
"That's one!"
Just then two of the green saibamen came at me from the smoke. Both of their heads split open and they fired green energy waves at me. I immediately fired a ki blast at them back and both of our energies collided. All of us struggled pushing our energies trying to overpower the other. Then with a mighty shout I pushed my energy and it overpowered both of the saibamen destroying them both.
"Ha! And that makes 3!"
But I wasn't out of the woods yet, I still had 7 more saibamen to deal with. Three more green ones, three brown ones, and the gray one. They all hissed at me having to see me take out two more of their comrades. They all surrounded me hoping to use the numbers game to beat me down. I took a defensive stance and got ready to fight.
"Well this is bad," I thought to myself. "I may have taken out some of them, but I'm still overwhelmed by numbers. I gotta try and catch them by surprise. If only I learned Krillin's move. Then again, the saibamen might have expected it after seeing Krillin use it only one time. I gotta try and use my head on this one.
Then suddenly the ground began to shake. All around me the rocks and boulders began to tremble until they eventually crumbled and the ground crackled and shook. It was as if the mother of all earthquakes was happening. The vibrations alone almost made me fall, but I stood my ground. Even the saibamen were having a little trouble standing from the shaking.
"What the heck is going on?! Some kind of earthquake?!"
Then I sensed something. There was something big and powerful in the area and it was coming from right behind me a few miles away. Which meant that it had to have been one of saiyans. It was obvious that it was Nappa.
"Hang in there you guys," I said as I looked behind me. "Just hang on till I get there OK?"
I knew I had to go and help Piccolo and the others, but I knew I couldn't. First I had to take care of the saibamen first. So when I saw that the saibamen were still unsteady from the overwhelming power. I used this to my advantage. While they were trying to get their bearings, I leapt towards them and with a fierce cry I went on the attack.
Back at the main battlefield, Nappa was ready to fight eager to kill the fighters that stood before him. He was powering up to the limit making his power level skyrocket. His power level was so overwhelming that it was the reason why the earth was shaking. Not to mention strong winds were blowing through the area making it seem like it was a typhoon. Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan, Tien, and Chiaotzu all stood their ground, but they could feel the overwhelming power that Nappa was emanating. Soon Nappa was all charged up and like a lion being let out of his cage to hunt, he looked at the fighters with a evil smile on his face.
"Now which one of you wants to die first?"
He looked at every one of them expecting a response, but none replied.
"Fine then! I'll choose! And I'm starting with you!" roared Nappa.
He dashed straight toward the first fighter that he saw: Tien. Before Tien had a chance to react, Nappa appeared behind him and attacked. Tien barely managed to block, but he felt like his hand was being torched. Nappa then attacked again by jumping into the air and dove down right at Tien. Tien attempted to dodge it again, but Nappa was far too fast and landed a devastating blow to Tiens arm again. This time Tien's arm was severed right off from the impact. Tien screamed in pain and in horror as he arm fell to the ground. Nappa chuckled delighted to hear Tien's screaming and attacked again. Tien dodged the blow by jumping and tried to fight back using his ki, but Nappa leaped off the ground using his superior speed and gave Tien a powerful heel drop kick sending him crashing to the ground. Tien winced in pain as he struggled to get up.
"Tien hold on! I'm coming! I won't let anyone else die!" Krillin cried as he dashed toward Tien to try and save him.
"No Krillin don't! It's too late for him!" yelled Piccolo trying to stop him, but Krillin wouldn't listen.
"Heh. Nice try weakling!" said Nappa who saw what Krillin was up to and fired a powerful causing Krillin to be blasted back.
A intense bright light and smoke covered the area blinding the fighters. Then when the smoke cleared, Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo were staring down a giant hole in front of them that seemed to be bottomless.
"No...way..." murmured Piccolo. "It's...incredible..."
"Hah! That's nothing!" said Nappa. "If you think that's incredible, just wait till I get serious."
Then Krillin released something. There was someone missing and that someone was Chiaotzu.
"Where's Chiaotzu?! I can't see him! He must have been caught in the blast!" he cried. "Chiaotzu! Chiaotzu!"
Tien upon hearing about his best friend immediately sat up. He looked around trying to find his best friend, but Chiaotzu was no where to be seen. "No... No! It can't be! Chiaotzu! Chiaotzu! Where are you?!"
"Oops. Looks like I overdid a little," chuckled Nappa. "I guess I killed the runt while I attacked baldy over there."
But Nappa was wrong. From out of nowhere, in came flying Chiaotzu. He came up from behind Nappa and latched himself onto his back not letting go.
"What the hell?! Why you little...!"
Nappa struggled and tried to get Chiaotzu off his back, but he either couldn't reach him or he could only barely touch his head not getting a good grip. Then suddenly Chiaotzu began giving off a white glow powering up. Nappa tried again and he managed to touch him, but he felt a shock go through his hand. Having no other option, Nappa flew towards a rock and slammed his back to it with Chiaotzu on it. Chiaotzu screamed in pain, but he held on to Nappa. Nappa kept smashing Chiaotzu onto multiple rocks hoping that he would eventually let go, but Chiaotzu held on.
"Chiaotzu! Get out of there now!" screamed Tien.
"I can't watch this!" cried Gohan as he covered his eyes.
"Don't look away Gohan!" snapped Piccolo. "Honor his bravery! This is what a true fight looks like!"
Gohan wanted to keep looking away, but he did what Piccolo told him and turn back to the fight.
"That's it you little punk! You're asking for it!" growled Nappa as he shot up into the sky with Chiaotzu still on his back.
"Chiaotzu please! Let go!" yelled Tien. "That's enough for now!"
Just then Tien heard Chiaotzu's voice via telepathy.
"Tien? Tien can you hear me? Listen... I just wanted to say thank you... and good bye..." said Chiaotzu.
"What... what are you talking about Chiaotzu?" asked Tien. "You're not going anywhere!"
"I'm sorry Tien, but... I have to do this..." said Chiaotzu as he was glowing brighter than ever. "I enjoyed being with you...and...you'll always be my best friend..."
Then as soon as Nappa was high enough, he dive bombed straight for the ground below and Chiaotzu began to glow even brighter than before. Tien then figured out what Chiaotzu was planning and that made his eyes wide with horror.
"No! Chiaotzu please! What are you thinking?! This isn't the answer! Don't do this!" he cried.
"Don't worry. I'm not scared..." continued Chiaotzu. "If it can save you... then it'd be worth it. Goodbye Tien...and please don't die..."
As Nappa was dive bombing to a nearby boulder with spiky rocks, he noticed Chiaotzu's rising power and he himself was being cloaked with Chiaotzu's ki.
"What?! What the hell are you doing?!"
Sensing what Chiaotzu was going to do, he dashed towards the rock even faster. He grew closer and closer desperately trying to reach before it was too late. Then just before Nappa was about to hit the rock, Chiaotzu self destructed exploding with a mighty explosion taking Nappa with him. A giant cloud of pink from the explosion erupted from the sky. Everyone except Vegeta was frozen their faces stricken with horror, but none was more horror stricken than Tien.
"No... No...it can't be... CHIAOTZUUUUUUUUU!"
My head immediately snapped to the direction to where I heard the scream. It was no mistake who it was. It was definitely Tien. Which meant only one thing. Chiaotzu had just blown himself up in an attempt to take down Nappa making the kill count two. I knew that it was supposed to happen, but still... I couldn't help but feel anguished by it. I clenched my fists in anger trembling slightly.
"Damn it all..." I murmured.
Just then the Jinkoman took advantage of me being distracted and punched me right on my cheek sending me flying straight into a boulder with a mighty crash. Then the Kyuukonmen and the Saibamen fired rapid ki blasts from here I had landed trying to finish the job. They fired and they fired until the Jinkoman gave the command to stop with a bark. There was nothing, but a cloud of smoke. The evil creatures smiled evilly giggling madly thinking that they had finally killed their target.
When the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a pile of rubble. There was no body to be seen. The saibamen blinked and tilted their heads in confusion. Then suddenly, a ki blast came firing from the left of them and hit a saibaman square on killing it. The others looked at their fallen comrade in shock. Then another one came this time from the right and his another saibaman killing it too. The Junkoman immediately commanded two Kyuukomen to go where the source of the Ki blast came from. The Kyuukomen obeyed and quickly went to the where the Jinkomen directed them. A few seconds had passed and then there were multiple screeches followed by explosions and the sound of blows. Then it was silent.
The Jinkoman eyes widened in surprise and gibbered something to the others. Obviously it wanted them to go check out what had happened. One of the Kyuukoman backed away shaking it's head for no while gesturing his hands waving. Obviously that it didn't want to go over there, but then as it back into a rock with a small crevice in it, a hand shot out and grabbed a hold of the Kyuukoman by the neck and dragged it into crevice. There was a big explosion inside the crevice emitting a bright light followed by a screech of terror. The Jinkoan and the two remaining Kyuukoman immediately reacted by shooting ki blasts once again. The blasts hit the rock destroying it upon impact. Smoke and rubble blew everywhere.
There was nothing but silence. Then I shot out from the smoke and went straight for the Kyuukoman gave him a devastating punch in it's gut. The Kyuukoman's eyes bulged from the impact and in pain. Then while I had my fist buried in it's gut, I unleashed a full powered energy wave blasting a hole right through it killing it. There was now two left. The Jinkoman and the remaining Kyuukoman were now getting a little scared.
"You guys made a big mistake by sneak attacking me like that," I said walking towards them. "I just want to let you guys know right you, you caught me at a really bad day."
I dug my foot into the ground and dashed straight at them. I ignored the Jinkoman because I was wanting to save him for last, so I went right for the Kyuukoman. I punched it square at the cheek and then kneed it in the gut and then I sent it flying with a powerful upper cut. Right then and there, the Kyuukoman tried to retaliate, but I jumped up into the air also getting right upon it. In a double axe handle move, I slammed the Kyuukoman hard on it's head sending it straight down to the ground and crashing into the ground. Right then and there, I fired another full powered energy wave right at the Kyuukoman. The attack hit right on it's mark destroying the remaining Kyuukoman. Now there was only the Jinkoman who was now trembling in fear.
"What's the matter ugly?" I taunted as I walked towards it. "Not so cocky now that the odds are even?"
"Cayden! Can you hear me? How are you holding up?"
Trunks' voice suddenly came through on my scouter.
"Don't worry Trunks. I'm fine. I was just about to wrap up this last one," I said.
"That's great! But please hurry! Beat that last Jinkoman and then join up with the others!"
"I know."
I turned back to the Jinkoman who was still looking scared.
"Listen up freak. I don't care if if you're the strongest saibaman in the world, you're going down just like the other did. Hard. And I know just the way to take you out."
I stared right at the Jinkoman setting my sights at it and then I dashed forward and attacked with a flurry of punches and blows. The Jinkoman blocked and parried all of my attacks, but some of my attacks got through hitting it in the face. This went on for a few minutes until I gave the Jinkoman a powerful punch in the face again. The Jinkoman was sent flying through a couple boulders and I finished with a powerful kick right on it's back making it screech in pain before falling to the ground.
"And that makes ten," I said to myself dusting off my hands. "It was a little difficult, but I was able to get the job done. Now then... I better get back and catch up with the others before Nappa..."
Suddenly I heard another scream. Then another explosion along with a bright light in the distance making me turn towards that direction.
"Oh crap! That was Tien again!" I said. "Oh man! He must have used his one handed tri-beam to try and take down Nappa! I think it was called the Spirit Tri-Beam. In any case, I better hurry my ass over there and..."
Suddenly I heard a piercing screech and I saw a stream of acid coming straight at me.
"HOLY SHIT!"
I immediately jumped into the air out of the way barley managing to dodge and looked. The Jinkoman was still alive and kicking, but it looked like it used up all it's strength to use it's acid attack. But all that managed to do was make me a little more annoyed.
"You just don't know when to quit do you?!" I said. "Fine then! Let's see you get up after this!"
I focused my ki onto my hands and then with a mighty shout and throwing my hands forward over and over, I unleashed a powerful volley of ki blast attacks. The Jinkoman's eyes went wide with horror and couldn't have the strength to dodge the attacks in time. The ki blasts hit it dead on. Smoke and rubble once more flew everywhere in a giant cloud. I kept firing and firing ki blast after ki blast until I stopped. When the smoke cleared, the Jinkoman was lying on the ground not moving. It the soon faded from existence.
"Whew," I said. "Now that's done. I gotta get to the others now! I have to hurry!"
I then flared up my ki and took off flying heading back to towards the battlefield.
Tien had just fired a powerful tri-beam that hit Nappa dead on target. Where Nappa stood, a giant cloud of smoke billowed where he was floating. It seemed that Nappa was defeated, but when the smoke cleared to everyone's horror there floated Nappa with an evil sneer on his face. Along with him being slightly singed, the only damage that was even inflicted on him was his armor for his shoulder protectors had been blasted off.
"Man that was a close one," he said. "You sure gave me quite a surprise there."
"N-no... no way!" stuttered Krillin his eyes wide as saucers.
"This... this is insane!" said Piccolo who was as equally shocked.
Tien's face was also twisted in a horror stricken/angry scowl.
"No... no way... I failed... Chiaotzu...I'm sorry..."
Then Tien fell to the ground exhaustion taking his last breath. He did not move or stir. The kill count had risen up to three. Gohan looked at Tien's lifeless body and started to cry for his fallen comrade.
"What a shame," sneered Vegeta. "If Nappa hadn't seen it coming at the last second his attack might have actually worked, but he wasted his power and died for nothing just like his little friend."
Krillin also stared at Tien his heart completely crushed seeing another one of of friends die. "No... Tien... He gave it everything...everything he had to help us...this is a nightmare... how many more of us are gonna die...? GOKU! HURRY UP AND GET HERE!"
"So much for for three eyes," chuckled Nappa. "Now then... who's next?"
"Krillin, it looks like we're gonna have to take this fight to the ground," said Piccolo. "He has a big advantage against us in the air."
"Right," said Krillin.
Nappa laughed hearing their next plan. "Fools! It doesn't matter! In the air or on the ground I'm still gonna crush you either way!"
Krillin and Piccolo prepared themselves for another fight as they touched down on the ground. As soon as they did, Nappa lunged at the two like a lion with it's prey. Then suddenly someone dashed right for Nappa and gave him a mighty kick to his gut sending him crashing into a boulder. Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan stared where Nappa was with surprise while Vegeta raised an popped his head out from the rubble and stepped out completely angry.
"OK! Who's the wise guy that attacked me!?" he growled.
"That would be me," said a voice.
They all turned to the source of the voice of which had touched down on the ground. There standing before them was the boy from before.
"Whew. Looks like I got here just in the nick of time," I said.
"What the... It's you!" said Krillin. "But... wait... how are you here? I thought you were fighting those freaky alien things!"
"The saibamen? Piece of cake," I replied. "Managed to beat every one of them."
"What?! There's no way!" said Nappa. "There was at least ten of them including the Jinkoman! You gotta be bluffing!"
"Well you can believe me or not, but I did," I said pointing at Nappa. "And you're next Nappa!"
Vegeta chuckled. "Well what do you know? This boy might prove to be fun. Just like I thought."
I took a look around the battlefield. Along with Yamcha there was a new body. Tien's. And Chiaotzu's body was nowhere to be seen. Which meant that everything has been going on course.
"So... looks like you were able to beat them after all just like you said," said Piccolo. "That's good news. Maybe now you can help us fight this monster."
"That's what I've been wanting to do," I replied. "Besides, this guy is gonna pay for what he did."
"Heh! You may have been able to defeat the Saibamen, but you don't stand a chance against me kid!" said Nappa. "Even if you join in, it won't make any difference!"
"Is that so?" I said taking a fighting stance. "Then let's find out!"
Piccolo and Krillin also took their stances their morale risen and ready to fight. Then Trunks' voice came through on my scouter once again.
"Cayden! Be careful! I'm sensing an evil energy. It's coming from Nappa."
Sure enough even if it was for a moment, I saw Nappa's eyes flash red and a purple black aura come out of his body before disappearing.
"When a person like Nappa is engulfed by that power, " continued Trunks. "Their power levels are multiplied."
"Crap. That means there's gonna be even more trouble," I thought. I then turned to Gohan and Krillin. "Listen up. You two stay back. This is too much for you."
"What? But..." began Krillin, but Piccolo quickly cut in.
"He's right. Besides neither of you are in any shape to fight. You'll both just get in the way now."
He particularly looked at Gohan who was still trembling in fear and crying after all that's happened. Personally I couldn't blame him and I was scared a little myself, but I knew that I had to fight. Nappa had to be brought down before he killed the wrong person. If he did, the timeline would be completely screwed.
"All right. Get a move on you two," I said. "Me and Piccolo will handle things here. Just stay back."
"Right. Come on Gohan. Let's go," said Krillin.
Gohan who was still crying a little nodded and he along with Krillin stepped further back out of the way. Me and Piccolo took our stances and prepared to fight. Nappa smiled chuckling sadistically and took his stance as well.
"Now then... who am I gonna take to the cleaners next?" asked Nappa as he dashed toward me and Piccolo.
Whew! I'm glad I got this done! Granted it took me a while, but I finally managed to get it done!
If you liked what you read or you have any ideas for this story, don't be afraid to leave me a review or a follow.
I could use some ideas as to who should I add for my team. I already got one in mind, but... that'll come later. Hehe. XD
I can say that my first team member is not gonna be from Dragonball Z.
Until then...
Dragoman out!
