A/N: One of my readers stated that the chapters are a little small. I agree and I ask you a question: do you prefer longer fight scenes or more secondary stories (like what other characters are up to while the 'main plot' happens)? Tell me your thoughts ^^ All these changes will take place after I'm done with the Saiyan Saga.

Now we begin the 'main attraction'! How will our heroes fare against the Saiyans?

The fateful day had arrived. As a precaution, Piccolo and Tien destroyed the Moon, to avoid any Oozaru transformations. In Otherworld, Goku used the Kaioken to keep up with his father's max speed. Whenever he felt tired, Bardock would carry him, providing both Saiyans with some last-minute training.

10.00 a.m. Two attack pods crashed on Earth. Two figures, a bulky, bald man with armor similar to Raditz but with a tome of yellow instead of brown, and a smaller one with flame-like hair and a white armor with yellow shoulder pads dressed in a blue tight suit came out of the pods.

"This is Earth, huh? Not too shabby" the Saiyan Nappa commented.

"Yes, it's not a bad planet. We may set it as our base after we get our wish of immortality. Now Nappa, we have work to do. Find Raditz, we need to make him tell us about these so-called Dragon Balls" Vegeta ordered.

"Should we also ask him about that whole Frieza business?"

"Who cares about that? When we get our wish, no one will be able to defeat us! If the story is true, then Frieza will just be our first victim! Now, what are the readings you got?"

Nappa pressed his scouter. "Oh, will you look at this? There are several unusually high powers here. 5 of them are as strong as Raditz and we have two of them at 3.000 units. They must have been preparing for our arrival"

"Indeed. They are joining all together. Well, lets join the party! AHAHAH" and with that they took off.

All of the Z-fighters were waiting for the Saiyans. They already took off the weighted clothes, as this fight would be no joke. They had to go all-out from the very beginning. The Saiyans showed up and landed in front of everyone.

"So Raditz, what gives? Did your idiot brother make you promise to be good when you were killing him? Or did your brat nephew made you go soft?" Nappa mocked Raditz, who wasn't fazed by the insult.

"I see you're still a bald, stupid ogre. Let me wipe that smile off your face" Raditz took a fighting stance. He knew he was the only (Gohan maybe could do it too) able to defeat Nappa with ease, but Vegeta was another story. "We shouldn't be doing this! We should all unite against Frieza! He destroyed our planet and lied to us!"

"Even if that's true, I'm only interested in the power I'll gain after I have the Dragon Balls. That horned bastard will just be the first to feel my wrath!" Vegeta then noticed Piccolo. "A Namekian? Well, that explains it. Legend has it that Namekians are capable of special magic abilities. Did you create the Dragon Balls?"

"Huh, thanks for revealing my origins. Unfortunately, I didn't create them. But if you're looking for a fight, I'd be more than happy to fulfill your request!"

"Nappa! Plant the Saibamen. I want to play a game." Vegeta ordered.

The brute Saiyan did as commanded and planted 6 seeds on the ground causing the green creatures to appear. "Kill them" Vegeta commanded and the Saibamen attacked the Z-fighters.

It wasn't that much of a fight. Tien used his Multiform technique and defeated 4 of them without breaking a sweat. Krillin and Yamcha defeated the other 2 with relative ease.

"What gives? I thought only Raditz and the Namekian had higher powers" Nappa was clearly confused.

"It appears they can mask their powers. How cute, they think it will make a difference. Nappa, take care of them! You can kill everyone except the Namekian. We'll torture info about the DragonBalls out of him." And then he turned to Raditz. "You'll be fighting me. Try not to die in the first 5 seconds" Raditz was reluctant to leave his newfound friends but he knew he had no choice. He had to be alone with Vegeta in order for his plan to work. "Very well, lets go" and they took off to another battleground.

"All right you little bugs! Who am I going to smash first?" Nappa mockingly asked as he began to power up.

"His power is bigger than what we tought! Everyone, be careful! Chiaotsu, you stay back for a while" Tien shouted.

Nappa dashed to Tien, but Gohan saw him and gave the brute Saiyan a sidekick, making him go head-first into a boulder.

"Guys, remember what Uncle Raditz told us. He's an idiot who only assaults forward. We need to use the number advantage"

Nappa got out of the rubble and shook his head. "I forgot, you have Saiyan blood yourself. Very well, why don't I start with you?" Nappa dashed at Gohan. This time, the demi-Saiyan couldn't keep up with his opponents' movements and received a hard punch to the gut, causing him to bend to his knees. Piccolo and Tien shot at Nappa, with Krillin and Yamcha close behind. The number advantage was proving effective, as Nappa was having a hard time keeping all four fighters at bay. He released a small kiai wave from his wave, forcing some distance. He capitalized the moment and attacked them all: a punch to Krillins' jaw, a kick to Yamchas' abdomen, a headbutt to Tien and an overhead kick to Piccolo. All the Z-fighters were falling down to the ground but as they fell down, Gohan shot up to Nappa, not giving the full blooded Saiyan any time to rest.

The blow exchange lasted for a while. Nappa had the power advantage, but Gohan was faster due to his smaller size, and was able to land some hits to Nappa. The Saiyan, on the other hand, was starting to lose his patience.

"Stay still!" Nappa was moving his arms, trying to catch Gohan. "It's like swatting a fly… Got you!" When he caught the smaller Saiyan he threw him into the ground. He descended as well, facing all the Z-fighters again. "I can't believe I have to fight this trash. Well, I think I'll deal with all of you at once!" He powered up some ki in his right hand. When he pointed his fingers upwards, a huge explosion took the battleground.

"Heh, looks like you aren't totally useless" Nappa said after the scouter beeped, indicating that all of his 6 opponents were alive. But the smaller one, referring to that white doll-like human was gone. "Did he die? I'm sure he dodged my 'Volcano Explosion'…"

Just then the figure of Chiaotsu grabbed Nappa's back and almost glued to the Saiyan as he powered up.

"Gah! What are you doing, you little bug?" Nappa tried to reach Chiaotsu, but of no avail.

"Chiaotsu! What are you thinking? Stop this!" Tien begged.

"No!" the voice of Chiaotsu spoke in everyone's mind "I'm here to fight too. I see he is too strong for normal attacks to work! I have to do this to protect the planet! Goodbye Tien… You are my best friend. Stay well" and a huge explosion, caused by Chiaotsu's self-destruct attack soared trough the wasteland.

"No…" Tien dropped to his knees. "He knew this was the only way. And now he can't be revived again… He was a true hero, sacrificing himself to bring down the Saiya… NO!"

"Sorry to disappoint you," Nappa's figure came out of the smoke. His armor had some cracks but nothing else to significant "but your friend made fireworks for nothing. That must have been the stupidest idea I've ever seen… Huh?"

The next thing Nappa saw was Tien powering up to his limit and punch the full blooded Saiyan to the jaw, sending him flying away. Before he could stop himself, Tien showed up and unloaded a fierce combo of hits to the small cracks on Nappa's armor. The triclops procedded with an upper kick causing Nappa to go up, where Yamcha was already waiting for him.

"Take this! RogaFuhuKen!" he shouted as he constantly hit Nappa with strong blows. The last hit released a small kiai, causing the Saiyan to be sent flying again but for a short while. Piccolo stretched his arm, grabbing Nappa's leg and causing the Saiyan to be brought back to the ground with full force. When Nappa tried to get up, he only saw Gohan and Krillin next to him chanting their attacks.

"Kamehameha!"

"Masenko!"

The point-blank blasts caused another explosion. All of the Z-fighters regrouped.

"You think we did it?" Krillin asked.

"Doubt it. Remember what Raditz said, he's very resistant to hits, even when he's outmatched in power." Piccolo stated.

"Plus, I can still sense his ki" Gohan added.

Nappa shot out of the hole he was in. The armor was fully cracked but still not broken. His scouter, however, was gone.

"At least we made some damage" Yamcha said

"Okay, I'll admit, you're not half bad. But you can't defeat me! I'm Nappa, General of the Saiyan army! You trash aren't even fit to wipe my feet. I'll show you true terror!" he then began to charge to his max power and then charged at the Z-fighters.

Elsewhere…

After a few exchange in blows, Raditz was clearly losing. He couldn't even see Vegeta's attacks and the better he did was a few scratches to the Prince's armor.

"Hmph, you see Raditz? There is no way you can defeat me. I'm a Saiyan elite, the Prince! You should be shining my boots, you low-class trash!"

"I'm not done yet! I'll beat you and bring you to reason!" Raditz spoke, clearly tired. "We should be teaming up against Frieza!"

"Again with that Raditz? I just want the power to bring him down, I don't care what he did. But if he indeed destroyed Planet Vegeta, it's just another reason to defeat him" the prince smirked. "Although I have t admit, you have grown stronger than Nappa. Impressive as it may be, you know you have no chance against me!" and he began to power up, making the whole mountain area they were in to tremble.

"He's even stronger than I thought… I just hope Bulma did this right" Raditz took out a small device and by pressing the button in it, a 'CLICK' was heard in his eyes, which started to glow red. Raditz then began to grow fur and to grow in size, revealing his Oozaru form. "You may be stronger than me in our base form, but now you'll have to deal with my Oozaru form! And there is no moon for you to destroy!"

But Vegeta only smirked.

A/N: And there you have it! The fights for Earth are on the way!

The idea for Raditz's Oozaru form came from DragonBall Multiverse, a great online fic that tells a sequel to DragonBallZ. If you have time go see it, it's awesome. A detailed explanation of this form will come next chapter… and not by me ;)

Now keep in mind another thing: the Pls Raditz said in chapter 4 were his last readings of Vegeta and Nappa. Both Saiyans became stronger after conquering the planet they were originally in.
