Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or any of its characters. If I did I'd be a whole lot richer.
chaos-bardock: You'll find out soon enough.
Chusa: Hopefully I'll be able to keep my once a week update. I still have a few lead chapters but my schedule just got filled up more with school starting.
son-gosen: Thanks. I was worried that some would take Yamcha's death badly. I went with the idea that even though they are stronger some things, such as overconfidence and stupidity never change. I'm also going to be going with the idea that some events are destined to happen and will happen no matter what. But the more time that passes the more the universe will vary from the dbz world. It's kinda a snowball effect.
MysticSuperSaiyanGohan: The issue I run into with the Kaioken isn't that I would make Goku too strong. It's just not consistent for Goku's power to jump 4000 between normal and Kaioken x1, then 4000 between x1 and x2, and then suddenly jump 8000 between x2 and x3. The way I have planned would have a consistent jump in power. A x3 Kaioken would only make him 2.5 times stronger but the way I see it it's the Kaioken that's multiplied with a x2 or x3 not the total of the power and the Kaioken. I hope that makes a little bit of sense. And btw I completely agree with what you said about how it was tearing him apart using it. Anyway I'm always open to ideas so keep them coming.
Mystic4 Gohan: Well here's some of the real fighting.
Dark dragon 00: About the tail, you'll have to wait and see. As for the sword, you should see part of an answer in this chapter.
Luna's Meow: Here's more of the battle for you.
Korrd: As far as Gohan going Oozaru, I really haven't decided yet. And as you've seen I can fit several episodes of dbz in one chapter. The fight between the Z fighters and Nappa is about two chapters long. The fight between Goku and Vegeta (bad giving away spoilers. Oh well everyone know Goku's the only one strong enough to fight Vegeta at this point) will be somewhere between one to two chapters. It will be three at the most. That should give you a better idea of what's going on.
wizardmon92: I haven't really decided how to make the unlock potential work on him yet. I'm always open to ideas. As far as mystic goes, I'll probably already have him able to reach Super Saiyan 3 by that point so I don't know if they'll use it or not.
Gozen V: I didn't write about Goku learning the Kaioken because like in the series it's supposed to be a surprise that he knows it. But everyone reading this has probably already seen the series so you're not really surprised. I may do a flashback or something like that in later chapters but I haven't decided yet. As for the Z fighters' easy victory against the Saibamen, it's mainly due to the extra training I gave them. They are all far enough above the level of the Saibamen that they're not really much of a challenge. But don't worry, they'll get their challenge with Nappa. Goku's max will actually be a little above 8000. 8000 is close to his max but in the series Vegeta actually gets a reading of over 9000. The 8000 is the highest he can have his power and still have enough control to use the Kaioken if he needs to. His actual max would probably be between 9000 and 10,000 but a normal Kaioken would bring him above that. That is why he won't power up all the way. Lastly, while it's true that Nappa and Vegeta can't actually hide their power levels like the Z fighters, they obviously aren't at their maxes all the time. They are seen to visibly power up in the series. The 4000 and 10,000 would be what I refer to as their resting power levels. The 6000 and 18,000 would be their maxes. The Z fighters on the other hand could have suppressed their power levels to 5 had they wanted to. Nappa and Vegeta aren't skilled enough to do the same. I hope at least some of that makes sense.
Digi fan: It will be an interesting fight to say the least.
Bedros: Thanks for reviewing.
miroku-has-darkness: Thanks for the review.
Summary: What if Goku had been more involved in training Gohan at an early age? This story starts at the beginning of dbz.
Chapter 7
Nappa stepped forward and grinned like a moron. "Well I guess I'll get to have some fun after all." Nappa stopped in the middle of the battlefield and began doing some stretches to prepare himself. "Who should I kill first?" The Saiyan asked himself. He turned and stared directly at Tien. "I'll start with you three eyes."
Tien's eyes widened as the huge warrior charged at him with unbelievable speed. Nappa's first punch sent Tien flying backward and into a rock formation. Tien shot out of the rocks in a flash and charged back at the Saiyan. The triclops threw a flurry of kicks and punches at Nappa, but the Saiyan warrior managed to dodge them all with ease.
With little effort Nappa shot a knee up, catching Tien in the stomach doubling over the mighty warrior. Nappa filled his hand with ki and brought it down toward Tien's arm. The Saiyan's hand passed through thin air as the triclops appeared behind Nappa.
"Alright Tien," Chiaotzu said as his friend hit Nappa right on the side of the head with a roundhouse kick.
The Saiyan didn't even flinch. He brought his elbow back and hit Tien right in the face sending him flying back into the ground hard.
Tien didn't give up and charged back at Nappa full force after wiping a trickle of blood off of his mouth. He gathered as much ki into his fist as possible and aimed it right at Nappa's chest. Tien threw the punch at the Saiyan and groaned when Nappa caught the punch in his own hand.
Nappa smirked evilly as he squeezed down hard on Tien's hand breaking every bone in it, leaving it essentially useless. A split-second later the Saiyan's leg shot out and caught Tien right in the ribs making a sickening crunch.
Tien winced as Nappa threw his weakened body to the ground. Groaning the warrior lifted himself to his feet.
"Not had enough yet I see," Nappa taunted.
Tien raised his hands to his face, "Solar Flare." A bright burst of light flooded the whole area, blinding everyone that wasn't ready for the attack. Tien used this time to charge at the Saiyan and deliver kick right to Nappa's head. The Saiyan went flying and Tien raised his hands in front of him in the shape of a Triangle. "Tri-Beam Ha," Tien groaned as he pushed all of his power into the attack draining his own life force. The attack hit Nappa dead on and exploded leaving smoke and dust all over the battlefield.
Tien collapsed to the ground completely spent and fading fast.
"Did he do it?" Krillin asked.
"I'm not sure," Piccolo answered.
"Ha, that was a nice trick," Nappa said as the smoke cleared and he came out completely unharmed. "Too bad it didn't work." Nappa walked over to where Tien lay barely alive struggling to stand. Nappa raised his foot ready to bring it down on Tien's head.
Before he could bring his foot down, he was kicked out of the way into some rubble. Getting up confused and a little angry, Nappa looked up to see who would even dare disturb his fun. Standing over Tien, Gohan looked strait at Nappa. "I won't let you kill anyone else."
Nappa rubbed his jaw. "Not bad kid, but you have no idea what you're dealing with."
While Nappa was distracted, Chiaotzu used his telekinetic powers to levitate Tien safely from the battlefield where he could be attended to.
Krillin reached down and felt for a pulse. "He's dead," the monk announced.
Chiaotzu cried out. "No he can't be dead." The little emperor pushed off the ground and charged at Nappa, who was just getting up. I'll grab on his back and use all my ki to destroy him. It'll kill me too but at least it'll save everyone else, the little emperor thought.
Nappa, who was in no mood to play around, raised his fist and sent it flying right through the little emperor killing him almost instantly. "I thought you said that you wouldn't let me kill anyone else," the Saiyan taunted at Gohan.
Krillin started forward but was stopped by a green hand. "Let Gohan handle this," the Namek said.
"But he's just a kid, and that Saiyan will tear him to pieces."
"He'll be fine," Piccolo said.
"You'll pay for that," Gohan threw back his head and began a primal scream as his power rose. Dust began to swirl around him and small pebbles rose off the ground. A great white aura surrounded the young demi-Saiyan for a minute. As soon as it had started, it was over as Gohan's power leveled off once more.
Vegeta pressed a button on his scouter and it beeped a few times. 4681, let's see how Nappa deals with this. He turned to Nappa. "I'd be careful with this one, Nappa."
"He can't be that tough," Nappa replied. The word had barely left his mouth when Gohan's foot planted itself in Nappa's face sending the Saiyan flying back once again.
Gohan was on the Saiyan before he could even get to his feet throwing a right punch into Nappa's gut doubling the Saiyan over in pain. A split second later Gohan's knee came up into the Saiyan's face blooding his nose. Gohan reached back for his sword and drew it from its sheath.
Nappa looked up with genuine fear in his eyes as the sword started down at his head. He blinked as the sword stopped just inches from his skull.
"That was you're only chance," Gohan said. "Leave now or I'll finish you off."
"You'll pay for that humiliation," Nappa said bringing his fist up into Gohan's wrist causing him to drop the sword and stumble back. Nappa charged in with a flurry of kicks and punches but Gohan managed to stay ahead of them and dodge or block most of them with little trouble.
Gohan leaped back doing a back flip in the air and landed about ten feet back. He pushed off the ground and charged strait at Nappa throwing a flurry of kicks and punches right at the Saiyan causing him to stumble back.
"Man Gohan's doing great," Krillin said. "Who'd have known the kid would have that much power?"
"He should have finished him off when he had the chance," Piccolo growled. "He's too much like his father sometimes."
Gohan continued to press his advantage as he connected a fist right to Nappa's stomach, causing blood to come shooting out of his mouth. Gohan brought a knee up into Nappa's ribs causing a sickening crunch as a few ribs are broken. Nappa, still half stunned and extremely angry threw a punch at Gohan's face. His fist passed through the after-image as Gohan re-appeared behind the Saiyan. Gohan landed a kick to the back of Nappa's head and sent him sprawling to the ground.
Gohan walked over and picked up his sword. "Now I'm going to end this."
Just as the words left Gohan's mouth, Nappa stood up bruised and bloody but still going strong. "You'll pay for that kid." Nappa started to scream as an aura surrounded him and rocks began to levitate around him. His feet sank a few inches into the ground as his power leveled off. "Now that I'm at full power, you're dead you little brat."
Gohan charged at the Saiyan bringing the sword down at Nappa's head. Nappa leaned to the left avoiding the blow. He brought his fist up into Gohan's gut, causing the demi-Saiyan to double over and drop the sword. A second later Nappa brought a knee up into Gohan's face.
Gohan winced as the blow hit but quickly recovered. He ducked down as Nappa sent another fist at his face. Charging in under the Saiyan's guard, Gohan landed a hard kick right to Nappa's gut. The Saiyan took the blow with little trouble and returned a kick to Gohan's head. The young demi-Saiyan was sent flying back. Gohan flipped off the ground and jumped up into the air bringing his hands together above his head. "Masenko HA!" The yellow blast flew right at Nappa, but the Saiyan deflected the blast right back at Gohan.
The blast hit Gohan full force sending the young demi-Saiyan falling from the sky. Nappa walked over and stood over the injured warrior. The tall bald Saiyan raised his foot and rammed it into Gohan's spine causing him to yell out in pain before losing consciousness.
Krillin stood on the sidelines watching in horror. I've got to help. He raised his hand over his head and began gathering ki in. Concentrating hard he flattened the ki and made it start spinning. "Destructo Disk"
Before he could throw the attack, Piccolo appeared right next to Nappa throwing a kick right at the Saiyan's head. The blow connected full force but had little effect. Nappa backhanded the Namek sending him flying back.
Here goes nothing, Krillin thought as he threw his attack.
Nappa turned just in time to see the attack coming and raised a hand to deflect it.
"Nappa, don't touch that you idiot," Vegeta shouted.
Nappa obeyed and jumped out of the way allowing the attack to pass just inches from his arm and into a cliff cutting it in two. A second later a small cut appeared and a trickle of blood flowed from it. "Lucky shot," Nappa said. "But it'll be your last."
Nappa sped at Krillin and backhanded the midget sending him flying back. He landed near Gohan and Piccolo. Nappa walked up to the three of them and stood over the three warriors. He raised his foot ready to continue his torture secession.
"Come on Goku," Krillin said, "get here quick."
Vegeta looked on with interest. "Who's this Goku you speak of? Surely you don't mean Kakarot?"
"Yeah that's right," Piccolo said. "He's on his way and he's stronger than ever."
"I'm intrigued. I'll give you three hours to wait for him. In three hours the battle will resume with or without Kakarot."
"I'm going to kill this little freak now," Nappa said gathering a ball of ki in his hand above Gohan.
"Nappa, I said we'll wait for three hours."
"But he humiliated me."
"You deserved it for underestimating him so much. Now stand down."
"But, Vegeta…"
"Stand down for three hours or I'll kill you myself."
"Oh, ok."
