As soon as Nappa had just finished shouting out his commands, Kanan's attention immediately went to the Saibamen's eyes. Each pair briefly flashing crimson, quickly followed up by all six of monsters having their bodies slowly become surrounded with the dark sinister energy. The time-patroller's body tensed up slightly at the sight, bracing himself for the inevitable fight that would happen.

"Gihyagyaaaaa!" All of the Saibamen shrieked as they launched themselves into the air, each one aimed at a certain opponent.

Kanan quickly jumped back as the pair of odd colored Saibamen, Tennenmen and Jinkomen that's what Nappa called them earlier, lunged towards him with incredible speed, much faster than he had anticipated the creatures to do. This however did not stop the offence that the pair of creatures had, as they instantly jumped into the air again once they landed on the ground; always keeping the time-patroller in their sights and on his back foot. The two of Saibamen were an extremely persistent duo, Kanan would give them that.

As the three combatants kept on playing their intense game of 'keep away' the time-patroller was starting to feel the energy of the other fighters become more and more distant with every leap backwards that he took.

This wasn't good, if Kanan was going to do his job to ensuring time would flow accordingly, he had to get past these Saibamen to do it.

Taking another far leap back, Kanan clenched his fists by his side and allowed some of ki to flare up, surrounding him with a barely visible blue aura. The human then placed his eyes right on the Saibamen as they sailed towards directly him, their eyes flashing crimson once more.

Thinking fast, the time-patroller flew swiftly the air extending one of his legs and in less than a second landed a powerful kick on the stomach of the sickly purple Saibamen, sending the creature crashing into a nearby rock formation. Landing on his feet, Kanan got into his martial arts stance and faced the other, dark grey, Saibamen.

What happened next human time-patroller honestly did not expect, as the Saibamen snarled and shrieked at him its head suddenly split open down the middle, like a coconut, and launched some sort of white fluid at him. Acting on instinct Kanan took a jump-step back and watched as fluid made contact at the spot he was standing, not even one second ago, hiss and crumble into a hole the shape of the liquid.

"Whew," the human sighed. "That was cutting it close."

"Giyhaaa!"

The time-patroller swiftly turned his head to see the Saibamen launch another load of its acid at him. Kanan quickly stepped out of liquid's direction, only catching the sharp hissing noise it made upon hitting the ground like before. However the time-patroller only found himself avoiding another batch and another and another…

'How much of this stuff does he have in him?' he mentally pondered as he dodged the creature's latest volley. This was getting ridiculous, the Saibamen was keeping him on the ropes with its acid; if he was going to put an end to this damned thing he would have to do it now.

As Kanan kept of sidestepped another salvo, he saw his opening; as the Saibamen closed its head before opening it to launch more acid. Tapping into much more of his power, Kanan's body became surrounded by a clearly visible shade of blue as he charged the little monster head-on.

Pulling back his left hand, the time-patroller extended it right in front of his opponent who had a look of surprise painted on it.

"GiyhaAAAAAAAAAAA!" The alien let out a blood curdling shriek as Kanan fired off a powerful blast of ki, completely engulfing the grey Saibamen in a torrent of bright yellow energy.

Once the attack dissipated, Kanan stared at the location where his opponent once stood on, all that was left of the creature was the deep indent in dirt where he attacked it.

The human fighter took a deep breath, he didn't expect to use that much of his energy on the Saibamen. But they were gone now just like history required them to be.

Suddenly Kanan's head turned sharply to his right, he quickly sensed a large presence of ki arise from what felt like several yards away from him. As he narrowed his sense to the ki signature, he way able to recognize who it is, Piccolo.

Not wasting another second, the time-patroller hastily made his way to Piccolo's location, hopefully not too late…


The Earth raised Namekian let out a loud grunt as he forcefully slammed his knee into the tiny body of the Saibamen, making the poor creature let out a weak and raspy form of their shriek as a result.

"Giy…giy…gi.." the alien creature croaked as the much stronger Piccolo held it up by its frail and tired arm.

"Hmph." The former foe of Goku harrumphed in disappointment at the sight in front of him.

Although the small creature had been much stronger than he had originally anticipated it to be; when the earth-raised Namekian tapped into his full power during their little scuffle there was nothing that this pathetic excuse of a monster could do against him.

Not wasting another second, Piccolo chucked the half-dead Saibamen into the air with all of its might; making the green monster howl in the air, becoming fainter and fainter with every second as it went higher in the sky. But Piccolo kept his sight fixed on the creature watching get closer and closer to the cloud.

Letting out a loud yell, a beam of bright yellow ki shot out of his mouth and in a short span of a couple seconds found its target, and a bright explosion of orange flames and grey smoke filled the blue sky until is disappeared along with the Saibamen. Turning around to his comrades, the first sight that came into Piccolo's field of vision was that of Krillin and Gohan both teaming up against a single Saibamen.

"Hee-yah!" Gohan exclaimed as he delivered a swift and powerful kick to the creature sending it sailing above the dusty ground; making it land several feet away from his current location.

Krillin immediately clapped his wrists together and placed his hands by his hip, and began chanting the name of the signature attack of any turtle student.

"Kame-ha-me-ha!" As soon as he shouted out those words he shot his hand out to the creature as it landed roughly on the ground. A short beam of pure light blue energy shot straight out of his hands and directly hit the green target. Creating a large fixture of smoke and dust that covered the monster and the ground in front of them.

"Did we do it, Krillin?" Gohan asked, not being able to sense the monster that the two of them teamed up on.

"I don't know, Gohan, I can't sense anything…" He quickly responded as he stared at the large cloud of billowing black smoke.

Nearly an entire minute passed as the two watched the smoke slowly fade away, not picking up the slightest hint of energy coming from it.

"I think we did it Gohan," Krillin stated confidently as he turned to the young half-Saiyan "We got him."

Before Gohan could let out a single word to reply to Krillin's assumption, a large image of white quickly came out of the smoke and directly at him. The demi-Saiyan quickly moved out of the object's directed path and became mesmerized by the attack splashing on his location hissing as it dug a deep hole into the rock.

Krillin took a few steps away from the spot, having a look of shock and visibly shaking as he did so. "Oh geez" he muttered "That stuff…could've landed on me."

Gohan continued to stare at the acid as it created a deep hole, he remembers reading about the effects of acid from one of his many science books that his mother made him read. The half-Saiyan had never been able to witness the power of the chemical compound until now and, needless to say, it fascinated him very much.

"GOHAN! Watch Out!" Krillin's voice shouted out to the fascinated boy, who briefly looked at him; confused.

"Huh-Ahhhh!" the boy cried out in distress as he saw the fast approaching sight of a Saibamen, having several parts of its body severely charred or missing form its body completely, approaching him very fast. Coming in so close to him that the demi-Saiyan swore that he saw the pink of the creatures of eyes.

"GIYAHAAAAAAAA!"

Acting on instinct Gohan put his arms in front of head, forcefully shutting his eyes closed, as he braced himself for whatever attack the little green monster would cause to him.

"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"

Suddenly a loud booming sound and a bright flash of an explosion, which Gohan noticed under his sharply closed eyes, occurred in a brief second. Causing a powerful gust of wind to blow against Gohan's face and clothes until it died down.

Opening his previously shut eyes and lowering his arms Gohan stared at the smoky remains of the alien creature that almost got him. Looking to his left he quickly notice his mentor staring at the boy, with his index and middle finger pointing in a direction that was just in front of the young warrior, having a look of disappointment and anger at him.

"Don't drop your guard so easily, Gohan!" he loudly scolded the boy as he lowered his arm down by his side. "Next time you do that you'll be dead!"

"O-Okay, Mister Piccolo!" the child responded obviously shaken up at the recent event.

Piccolo just grunted in response as he turned away from the child, Gohan had so much potential for them in this fight; but he was still too soft-hearted to use it.

'That boy must realize his power soon,' Piccolo thought to himself as he looked for the others.

As he scanned around for the other fighters, Piccolo suddenly saw Kanan lower himself to the ground just a few feet away from himself Gohan and Krillin. He didn't appear to be damaged in any way from whatever fight those two Saibamen put him against and from what Piccolo sensed the red-jacketed fighter also appeared to be slightly under himself in terms of their power differences.

"Yahh!" another loud shout made Piccolo turn away from the recent arrival and look at Tien and Yamcha fighting back to back, while Chiaotzu watched them fight from the side-lines.

Yamcha quickly put his hands to his hips as he watched his Saibamen opponent rapidly approach him.

"Kame-Ha-Me-Ha!" The long haired turtle student shouted out loud as his hands shot forward and fired the powerful attack at the Saibamen; dead on.

Behind him, Tien stared as the green alien, he previously kicked, as it got up and charged him once again. The three eyed fighter grinded his teeth as he saw it approach him at an incredibly fast rate, all of his previous attacks have had no major impact on it, if was going to put this monster down he would have to put more of his power into his attacks.

The Saibamen then lunged at the tri-clops, but the Crane school warrior made sure that the monster never left his sight and, mustering as much strength as he could for one attack, slammed his elbow right into the creatures face. The resounding noise of a solid *THWACK* filled the air as the alien creature fell down on the ground, its body still as a rock.

Both of the human fighters took their fair share of breaths, neither one of them had expected these things posing that much of a threat to them. Even so they were still able to beat them.

"Yes!" Yamcha shouted in relief as he fist-pumped in the air. "We did, we beat them."

Tien shifted his body to his side to address his eager friend. "Yeah, we sure did…. But we still have to beat the Saiyans before this is all over." He said in a serious tone to have Yamcha focus back on the two alien invaders.

Yamcha looked back at Tien, still having a look of confidence and excitement on his face. "We can do it, Tien, I know we can. With all of us working together there's nothing these two can do to bring us down."

As the long haired turtle student continued his speech, Kanan looked back at Nappa and Vegeta. The two Saiyans still looked as confident and deadly proud as they did before; having the same sinister smile on their faces. One thing that the human time-patroller quickly noticed between the two of them was hoe their eyes were focused on the Saibamen lying on the ground of the two fighters; it almost looked as if they were expecting something…. Then he remembered what Trunks had told him about the Saibamen.

His head quickly turned in the direction the two humans who were still talking to each other, then his eyes fell down on the Saibamen. At first nothing was happening, then Kanan noticed a small bit of the purple aura flare up around the two creatures; their limbs started to twitch slightly.

"Watch out!" The time-patroller shouted out to the two of them; but to no avail.

Just as the two martial artists heard the words warning from Kanan it was too late. Before either of them could do anything, the eyes of the twin creature opened in unison and the sick pink color that was ever present in their eyes flashed crimson. Both creatures then thrusted their half-dead bodies at their targets, tying their arms and legs around the torsos of the two human fighters.

"WHAT THE-" Yamcha and Tien shouted both in shock and in unison as the two green monster coiled around their bodies.

"GIYAHAAAAAA!" the Saibamen shrieked loudly before both of them actually….exploded themselves on their targets. Engulfing the two fighters in a bright yellow flash of energy. Causing the other fighters to shield their eyes from the blast as powerful gust of wind kicked up rocks and dust at them. The Saiyans, though, just stared at the destruction both of their sinister smiles widening at the sight and the brief sound of agonizing screams of intense pain that the two human suffered as the Saibamen killed themselves.

Lowering his arms from his head, the only thing that Kanan could see was the large black cloud of smoke that covered the area in which Tien and Yamcha were previously standing. His hands balled up tightly into fists at his sided as he glared at the spot in frustration. He knew he couldn't do anything to help out either of them since history had demanded they die. It was still a cheap, dirty, and dishonorable move to get someone off their guard like that; and right now the most Kanan could ask for is that they both passed painlessly.

"TIEN! YAMCHA!" the clown like fighter, Chiaotzu, shouted out as the cloud of pitch black smoke began to slowly dissipate into the air.

As the cloud got lighter and lighter, the life-long friend to Tien Shinhan quickly moved in followed suddenly by Krillin and Gohan, both of whom were equally as shocked and horrified as the only remaining Crane school student on the battlefield.

Piccolo narrowed his eyes and bared his teeth in anger as he saw the three of them enter the barely visible smoke. This wasn't good, while he couldn't have cared less for either Tien or Yamcha because of their friendship with his late arch-nemesis Goku; the attack that those Saibamen delivered to them was a definitely a low move to make. Even for his own taste. The Earth raised Namekian then slowly turned his eyes on the two Saiyans who were watching the three fighters enter the smoke with an honest to God smile, filled with intense glee and enjoyment, on their faces. This only made the angered expression that was on his face deepen, both of those…monsters knew. They knew what those damned Saibamen could do in a fight, and all they had to do was just watch.

"Y-Ya-Yamcha…T-Tien…." Krillin's shaky and saddened voice filled the air, making Piccolo look over to his three fellow fighters.

All three of them were standing in a shallow crater, surrounding the bodies of their two friends that were lying motionless in the burnt and smoky dirt. Tears were brimming in the eyes of both Krillin and Chiaotzu, rolling down the sides of their cheeks before falling foo their chins and hitting the dirt. Both of them their throats tightening up a painful knot and it only got tighter with every second that passed as they stared at the lifeless fighters. They were gone and they couldn't be wished back!

Gohan sniffled slightly making him rub his nose and felt deep sorrow for them, as well as Krillin and Chaiotzu. While he never knew Tien and Yamcha well before hand, he does remember hearing about them in the stories that his father told him to try and make him go to bed. He couldn't help but shed a couple of tears the more he dwelled on the subject; these were his father's friends! They were people he looked up to when he was growing up and now…now… they were gone!

"It looks like the Saibamen only took out two of these fools with the 'Saibamen Bomb' Nappa." Prince Vegeta spoke making all of the fighters turn to look at one of the two men responsible for this horrendous death. "What a disappointment." He said while closing his eyes and shaking his head slightly to his left and right.

"Wha-" Krillin gasped as his face quickly reddened in anger at Alien prince. "A disappointment?!"

The bald monk's reaction only made the smirk on Vegeta's face have a more cruel and sinister look to it. "Touched a nerve have I?"

"Y-Yo-Y-You! Monsters!" The turtle student shouted out, point his hand at the two Saiyans. "Because of you two, Tien and Yamcha… they're gone!"

"Well then good riddance to the both of them." Nappa crudely commented taking some satisfaction along with Vegeta in Krillin's flustered and emotional state; one that both caused. "Besides, all of you shouldn't be pitying them. You should be envious of them! They got the easy out, while the rest of you…Heh. By the time I'm done with you, you're all going to be writhing in pain and wishing for a fast death."

Krillin's anger only further skyrocketed at that remark, he couldn't remember ever feeling so angry at a living person before. His fists began to tighten up even more, showing the pale white of his knuckles through his skin. His teeth were also grinding against each other, in pure frustration and blinding rage; not only was it bad enough that these guys were responsible for killing two of his closest friends but now they had the gall to use their deaths against him.

"I'll show you! Both of you!" the bald monk rasped in hatred as he released the tension from his fists and placed them in a cup fashion on his hip; a small ball of blue energy filling up his hands.

"KA-ME-HA-MEEEEE-" with each part of the chant the blue sphere only got larger and larger. Suddenly the eyes of all of his friends and allies were on the angered turtle student, some of them watching in surprise as Krillin's power quickly skyrocketed.

"Kr-Krillin…" Gohan whispered quietly, being completely taken back by the anger and power that was clearly being exhibited with his older friend.

"Hmph," Nappa grunted as the blue lensed scouter in his left eye began flashing several alien symbols at a fast rate, but fast enough for his mind to understand what was going on.

"Hey, Vegeta, looks like the little guy is pushing it past 1,800."

"Really now?" Vegeta mused, plainly, as he reached down to pick up his previously discarded scouter, now of course that one of these pathetic jokes of a fighter was exposing his power, he could properly see what he was up against. After properly adjusting the red lensed piece of alien tech on his left eye; all that was left for the cruel Saiyan prince to do was look at the idiotic fighter and tap the button on his scouter.

'Hmm, interesting. It appears that he's at 1,850 now.' The Saiyan thought to himself as the monk was still charging his attack.

'This is it!' Krillin thought to himself and he felt his power reach his absolute max; the sphere made of pure energy was only barely contained in the confines of his hand. 'Now I can avenge you Yamcha! And you too Ti-"

"GAHHHHH!" a loud and familiar voice shouted out in pure agony.

'Tien?' Krillin thought as his concentration was broken by the pain filled scream that filled that air, making all eyes turn on the half-dead Tien.

The beaten crane student's face rippled in pure pain as he felt all of the cuts, bruises, and broken bones in his body at the same time as he woke up. The triclops fighter squinted his top eye open, allowing him to see Gohan and Chiaotzu, stand in front of him, with Krillin standing behind them. All of their faces were filled with worry and caution; he could see their mouths moving but couldn't hear their words, the only thing he could hear was a constant ringing in his ears that was slowly getting lower and lower as the seconds rolled on.

"Hmph," Vegeta grunted out of disappointment with a hint of surprise that one of the human fighters had survived the Saibamen's secret attack…

Suddenly the red lensed scouter on the Saiyan prince's face began to flash multiple bright yellow symbols. Vegeta's eye watched the symbols as flashed on the colored glass, his mind translating the foreign message; and making him turn slightly to his side and look directly at the fighter in the red jacket.

Once Vegeta turned to look at him, Kanan blinked his eyes, he was a little surprised that the Saiyan turned in his direction. However as the Saiyan prince continued to stare at the man, Kanan couldn't help but notice how…odd the invading fighter's gaze looked. It wasn't the sinister and malevolent look that the prince had used so far, no. Rather it looked like as if he was …anticipating… for something to happen.

Suddenly Kanan's grey eyes widened in a deadly surprise as he quickly sensed the familiar feeling of the dark energy flaring up directly behind him and coming close at an unbelievably fast rate. Acting on his instincts once more, the amnesiac human hastily ducked making whatever he detected fly way over his head and land directly in front of him. What his eyes quickly laid upon caught the human fighter off-guard, as it was the purple colored Saibamen that he kicked into a rock cluster some time ago.

'I swore that I couldn't sense his energy after I attacked him…whatever's causing this dark energy must've brought him back after I left.' Kanan thought, trying his best to figure out how this damned thing survived his kick.

However his deductions were hastily cut off as the Saibamen's eyes flashed red and the creature snarled at him, taking a powerful and fast jump forward into the air. Kanan narrowed his eyes as he saw the creature rapidly gain ground towards him, the human time traveler then raised his left hand up in less than a second, pointing at his still approaching target. Just as the Saibamen was about to get his limbs on the human, Kanan quickly fired a powerful blast of energy at the creature, engulfing it completely in a wave of golden-yellow.

The strange colored Saibamen landed on the ground with a loud *Thud* it's body a completely mangled mess as it was completely covered in multiple cuts, scratches, and severe burns as well as a missing arm and part of a leg. Kanan slowly approached his fallen opponent, his body and mind both on edge as he anticipated another surprise attack by the alien creature. His grey eyes looked up and down on the darkly purple colored skin of the creature, he couldn't see it breathing and his mind couldn't sense a power-level coming from the creature.

All of a sudden the human quickly detected a trace of sinister energy in the Saibamen, as it's body became outlined with an even darker shade of purple, one that Kanan was more than familiar with… almost instantly the Saibamen's eyes shot wide open, once again flashing crimson, as it jumped into the air to try and destroy itself with Kanan once more.

Kana acted quickly as the creature got in the air, the time-patroller promptly tapped into his energy; and landed a swift kick from his left leg directly into the jaw of the creature. The purple colored monster let off a brief shriek in pain as it went slightly higher into the air, but Kanan was far from done. Almost instantly after the first kick Kanan landed another with his right leg, making the Saibamen go slightly higher in the air, before spinning to his right side and smashing the back of his heel against the monster's already mashed jaw bone. The impact of which produced a loud, sharp *snapping* sound to emerge from the creature's scrawny neck, making it coast backward in the air; landing a couple of meters in front of Nappa and Vegeta.

Both of the Saiyans watched the pathetic scene play out in front of them, as the battered and broken Saibamen began twitching and jerking on the dusty ground. Gagging as it tried to rasp in the smallest amount of air through its broken windpipe until its body finally stopped moving; the eyes of the creature wide open with a dead look and its tongue out of its mouth and lying flat on the dirt.

Vegeta turned his gaze away from the deplorable creature's carcass, landing his eyes on the red jacketed fighter once more. Pressing the button on the side, his scouter was instantly picked up the human fighter's energy level as alien symbols danced across the red shaded screen. As the numbers stopped flashing and became still Vegeta smiled at the unexpected revelation.

"Well," the flame-haired Saiyan prince said in his darkly calm demeanor at the human fighter, who just stared back at him, as he folded his arms over his chest. "It appears that there's more to you than meets the eye."

"Vegeta." Nappa said while staring intensely at Kanan. "The scouter says that this punk's power level is at 3,000."

Kanan watched as the smaller of the two Saiyans gave his response, his confident smile remaining completely resolute. "Yes, Nappa, I'm more than aware of this fool of a fighter's power level."

"How should we proceed with him and the others then?"

Vegeta only closed his eyes for a few seconds, still keeping up his smile; giving off the image that he had already known how to proceed and that Nappa was just asking him to state the obvious. "Do with them as you will, Nappa, I'd rather not sully my hands on such a flimsy band of weaklings."

"Music to my ears, Vegeta."

Kanan's eyes opened up slightly as he saw dark purple energy suddenly emit from Nappa, just as the bulking Saiyan removed his scouter let it fall down to the ground with a slight *clang* on the rocky surface.

As the massive Saiyan slowly approached his first opponent, Kanan instinctively got back into his combat stance. His eyes focusing intensely on his opponent as his eyes briefly flashed crimson and his dark aura suddenly disappeared; like it did with the opponents he faced that were affected by it.

Suddenly Nappa stopped walking towards Kanan got quickly placed himself in a combat stance of his own. His serious and determined face quickly swapped for a big toothy grin; that immediately caught the amnesiac human off-guard at the sight.

"Get ready, runt, now comes a real fight." Nappa stated over-confidently.

Just as he finished his insult to the human time-patroller, the bald headed Saiyan quickly rushed towards Kanan; moving several times faster than the Saibamen that the red jacketed fighter fended off earlier.

Acting on instinct, Kanan crossed his arms in front of his unprotected face and was able to intercept a strong right hook from Nappa, one that caused the human to skid across the dusty ground for a few feet; making him kick up a small dirt cloud until he finally came into a complete stop.

Kanan slowly lowered his arms, the attack placing both of his upper limbs in a constant state of stinging pain. Nappa certainly knew how to hit his target and hit it hard, Kanan was certain of that. However his train of thought was quickly interrupted by the sound of Nappa's scream, making the human hastily turn and face the bulking Saiyan heading straight towards him at an alarming rate; his right fist pulled back and ready to be used again.

Acting fast, Kanan quickly moved himself to the right side of Nappa, allowing him to barely miss the punch that was meant for him. Kanan balled up his left hand into a fist and threw a quickly left jab at Nappa's exposed face, however something happened that the Time-Patroller did not anticipate. The tall brute was able to catch Kanan's fist into his own left hand with incredible speed. The time-patroller felt the muscles in his arm shake violently as he tried to break free from Nappa's grip to try and land a hit but was thus far was to.

Suddenly the amnesiac human felt his arm being forcefully moved to his right side as he stared straight into the pure black eyes of his opponent, each pupil full of pride and malice.

"Heh, you didn't think that it could be that easy now did you?" Nappa chuckled darkly.

Before Kanan could respond he grey eyes widened and his mouth spat out saliva as he felt his stomach flare up in sharp and intense pain as he was forcefully prodded in his abdomen by Nappa's right elbow.

"GAAHHH!" Kanan grunted as he quickly dropped down to his knees, his right hand furiously clutching his stomach as he felt the terrible pain slowly protruded across his entire abdomen.

"Heh." Nappa scoffed as he stood in front of his opponent, still gripping fiercely onto the human's left hand stuck in his palm. "You might be the strongest of your race here on this planet, but against some like me you nothing but a waste of time."

Nappa then recoiled his right arm so that his balled up hand was dangling slightly above of his left shoulder, his eyes flashing crimson again and his toothy grin turning into a dark smile, as he smashed the back side of his fist against Kanan's face. Allowing the human to have his left arm be freed from Nappa's grasp and send him flying into the air until he painfully crashed on the dirt kicking up a rocks, and dirt in the cover of a dust cloud.

Vegeta watched unimpressed as the red-jacketed fighter with the power level of 3,000 crashed into the ground from a back-handed fist from Nappa.

'How pathetic.' He thought to himself.

Krillin, Gohan, and Chiaotzu gaped in shock and terror at the very recent scene that played out in front of them as they stood by a recovering Tien. This Nappa guy had completely beaten one of their two strongest allies on the battlefield without breaking as much as a single bead of sweat from the effort.

"Oh man," Krillin muttered as he looked between the dust cloud and Nappa. "That big Saiyan guy tore Kanan apart out there." Both Chiaotzu and Gohan nodded frantically in agreement, both one of them not believing the incredible and frightening sight that had just occurred for both of them to watch with fear filled eyes.

Piccolo grinded his white teeth even harder together as he witnessed Kanan's brief scuffle with the larger of the two Saiyans; this fight wasn't looking for any of them right now, not even in the least damned bit. It was bad enough that they Tien and Yamcha were both caught by a surprise attack by the Saibamen, but now another one of their decreasing number of allies just made a complete fool of himself against one of the Saiyans.

But what also really getting to the Earth-raised Namekian was how powerful Kanan was right now. Sure the he was still more powerful than the red-jacket human was right now, but it wasn't by very much; and from what he could sense Nappa was without a doubt stronger than Kanan. The bald headed Saiyan was also much stronger than Piccolo was too, his energy giving Piccolo the feeling it was as strong as it was sinister. This fact really grinded Namekian's gears, that no matter how much training he undertook in that year he still wasn't strong enough to defend earth against the Saiyans.

'And that other one hasn't even got his hands dirty yet.' Piccolo mentally remarked as he briefly looked at Vegeta then back to Nappa who was slowly approaching the lightening dust cloud; which allowed him to perceive the backside of Kanan's red jacket as he weakly began to push himself off the cracked and indented ground.

Fuzziness and colors, that was all Kanan's eyes allowed him for discern for what felt like several long seconds. He could only see the bright colors of the objects in front of him, not the shape, or what it even is in the first place. As he slowly lifted his body off the ground, he immediately felt a sharp pain arise from his abdomen and his face.

The human Time-Patroller only grunted in agony and shut his eyes, as his arms slowly lifted his hurt body higher off the ground.

'Damn bastard,' Kanan mentally cursed his opponent as he slowly allowed his eye to open, the fuzziness that once plagued them slowly reciting and his sight allowing him to see more clearer with every passing second. 'Hits harder than I thought he would.'

As his sight quickly returned to him after a few winks, his eyes abruptly widened and his thoughts became startled as he noticed the rock where his face was lying on had a sharp and long smear of crimson liquid plastered on it.

His left hand instantly moved towards his mouth and placed his index finger slightly under his nose; Kanan felt a slight prick of pain arise as it slightly brushed against his nose. As his finger went across the topside of his lip and was moved into his sight Kanan let out a small gasp as he saw fresh red blood slowly ooze its way down his left hand.

Looking behind him the Time-patroller caught a glimpse of his hulking opponent marching triumphantly towards him, still having his face covered with the same dark smile that he had hit him with only a few minutes ago. Kanan quickly brought his left hand up and smeared his blood across his palm, blocking out the low pain that came with the act. Getting on his feet again, he heard the sound of Nappa's voice echo loudly from the rocky walls.

"What's the matter, boy? You're not giving up are you?" The Saiyan scoffed, suddenly stopping and his body radiating the dark energy. "Heh, the two have only started."

Kanan only looked back at his opponent, wiping the drying blood on his left hand as he did so, before getting back into his martial arts stance; his eyes narrowing on his burly opponent. Kanan knew he wouldn't have to take any more chances against Nappa as he is now. He just had to hold his own against him for the time being…

"Not one to talk, huh?" Nappa dryly commented. "That's fine, it'll only make your screams and the eventually begging that much more satisfying."

The Time-Patroller put on a serious face in light of the remark, his body becoming surrounded by a visible blue aura. As increased his power, Vegeta's scouter quickly caught the action reporting the human's new found power level to the Saiyan Prince.

'3,900?' Vegeta mentally questioned as he placed his index finger and thumb on the tip of his chin as he slowly pondered on this new information. 'It appears this foolish human fighter is stronger than he's letting on if he has this much power…'

Suddenly a wicked smile formed across his lips 'But it's nothing that I should be concerned of in the slightest, after all there's nothing on this backwater planet that could compare to me.' He then looked towards the other fighters that were still alive to try and "oppose" him from his goal. 'They are all so weak and pitiful, it almost makes me feel slightly sad to kill them….almost.'

The prince's thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the sound of a loud yell, made by his much weaker subordinate, Nappa, as he charged the red-jacketed human for a second time.

Kanan was once again placed on the defensive as Nappa began throwing fist after fist at him, this time around he was having a much easier time keeping track and avoiding them. But they were still flying towards him at an incredibly fast rate, making him take several steps back from Nappa's extensive offensive attack.

As Kanan kept up his best attempts to block, deflect, or dodge any attack towards him, he quickly noticed an opening in Nappa's assault, as the large Saiyan overstepped his advance leaving his legs fairly exposed. Not wasting another second, the human fight got down low and extended his right leg, doing a fast spinning motion that successfully placed Nappa's right leg out of balance.

"Argh!" the bald Saiyan gasped as he took several hops backwards in an attempt to regain his lost balance.

However Kanan quickly took advantage of his opponent's momentary lapse from the fight, and made a mad dash towards Nappa; throwing multiple punches and kicks at the Saiyan as he just as he recovered his balance. Effectively swapping the tables between then two of them as the large Saiyan could only raise his forearms to block the multitude of Kanan's punches and kicks, being delivered to him at an uncountable rate.

"Yeah, that's the way!" Krillin positively commented at the latest series of events that have transpired in their fight against the invading Saiyans opponents. "Show that Saiyan what we're made of!"

Gohan only watched with widened eyes at the fight going on, while he could easily see that Kanan held the advantage in the fight so far, his eyes could hardly keep up with the number of attacks and blocks being used; from his perspective one punch being thrown had the appearance of ten. Suddenly the demi-Saiyan's attention quickly became detached from the fight and towards the heavily wounded Tien, who was still being looked over Chiaotzu.

"C-Ch-Cha-Chiaotzu? Wha-What's happening?" the three-eyed Crane student weakly muttered.

The other Crane student's face quickly became filled with concern at the state of his friend. "You and Yamcha were attacked by those green monsters when your back was turned, you barely survived."

Tien's face suddenly rippled with anger once the morbid news hit his barely ringing ears, one of his best friends was dead, killed when he had his back turned to his opponent just for a few short seconds…and it was all because of these Saiyans.

"I'm gonna make those two pay!" Tien proclaimed angrily, and began painfully getting back up to fight but was forced down by both Chaiotzu and Gohan, who placed their arms on him to keep him from getting any higher.

"Don't do it Tien!" the two of them pleaded as they kept him down despite his struggling against them.

"Knock it off, Now! All of you!" the deep and angry voice of Piccolo shouted out loud, making them stop and look at the former Demon King of Earth as he glared at then with eyes full of agitation and annoyance.

"We have to ready at any time to fight against either of these Saiyans, not squabble over petty revenge!"

Tien's face became full of anger as he bared his teeth, as much as he would hate to admit it to himself, Piccolo had a point. If he went charging against the Saiyans blind, there was more than a good chance that he would end up dead and he wouldn't be coming back from something like that. Turning away from Piccolo, Tien, quickly locked his eyes with the fight that was happening right now, between the massive Saiyan and the newcomer…Kanan if he remembered right.

As he kept up his fast offensive against the sadistic Saiyan, Kanan made sure to keep the small feeling of exhaustion in his body behind him; he couldn't let up against Nappa for a second or else their roles would switch and he wouldn't know how to flip them again.

"Gahh!" Nappa grunted as he deflected a powerful punch from Kanan that defiantly hurt more than it should have…

Kanan quickly increases the intensity of his attacks in response to his strong strike against Nappa; landing powerful blow after blow on the Saiyan's forearms until an opening arrived in reward for his efforts. Taking advantage of the situation, Kanan sent a strong kick at Nappa's exposed stomach; making the space armor fracture and crack across his entire abdomen from the powerful force and Nappa's face reel with pain. Kanan grinned in confidence at his ability to land a solid hit against his opponent, but the look quickly melted off his face as he felt two firm hands wrap around his exposed leg.

"Nice try punk!" The big Saiyan hollered confidently as his eyes flashed crimson once again and another aura of dark energy engulfed his body, making his own energy feel more powerful and sinister than it was only mere seconds ago.

Nappa then spun around very feverishly, making Kanan violently circle around Nappa; as his leg was still in Nappa's clutches. The wind was burning against Kanan's exposed face, he felt like he was going to throw up from the force of the spins against his body and his eyes couldn't keep track of a thing; as everything was moving too fast even him to keep up with. Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse now, he felt the iron grip of Nappa's hand release his leg and he felt his body sail faster than a bullet in the air. And just when his vision finally cleared all he could see ahead of his way the hard sight of a big, rough, and coarse rock in front of him…


Author's Notes: Boy oh boy, I did not intend for it to take this long to update this story. I'll just gloss over the lengthy explanation and just say that I moved into college so I had to take some time to get used to my new environment. Another reason is I got started my second Fan-fiction story, which took a fair amount of my time away from completing this chapter. Now with that out of the way onto the "Power Levels" list.

-Power Levels- (Just as a reminder these power levels are a mix of mine and the actual canon.)

Saibamen: 1,200 (Base)/1,500 (Dark Magic)/1,825 (Saibamen Bomb)
