In response to just some small things in the reviews-

potterfanforever- Yes, they contacted Goku after arriving on Namek, though now that I look at it again, I also have it a little out of order. They contacted Master Roshi on earth as soon as they Gohan and Krillin left to go to Dende's village. I did it after they got back, but not a big deal. Goku's ship was a HELL of a lot faster.

You all may have noticed that if there are parts that exactly mirror the show, I more or less skip it or just focus on other stuff. I mean, come on. Has anyone here REALLY not seen this already?

Also, some of you might notice a lack of preaching about the 'One. And ONLY. SUPER SAIYAN!' lol . . . Well, you'll see how this saga differs from the show soon. Thanks for the support and hope you enjoy :P

Namek. A symbol of peace and serenity. Where the sky is green. The grass is blue. The water is also green and-

A plume of smoke rises after a large blast rockets into the sky. The smoke trail lowers down, finding a large ship shaped oddly like a fat disk with stands under it. Bubble like glass windows bulged out from its sides as one has just been blasted through.

One by one, five five massive dragon balls speed out of the window into the distance. Inside, Vegeta smirks madly. "Now, for the getaway." He opens the door and holds his hand out. "First immortality." He fires a blast down the halls, wiping out an inner portion of the ship. He sprints towards the window. "Then the bitches."

He flies out and drops to the ground before diving into the nearby lake. Frieza's men pan out and search the area as Vegeta disappears under the water. . .

. . . . .

A large capsule like ship blasts through the emptiness of space. Space. . . the final frontier. . . -

A burst of laughter came, a familiar hero chuckling to himself. A heavily irritated voice yelled in rage. "Quit your damn laughing, fool!"

Goku stood, straining slightly in the increased gravity. He chuckled. "Sorry, it's just this is a little funny is all. Kind of ironic."

His brother, Raditz, had his knees bent, dealing with the same gravity his little brother was prepared to train at. He was holding up, but not well. "I'm willing to bet whatever valuables I have that you don't know the meaning of that word."

Goku's laughing face turned into a pout. "Well, someone's grumpy."

"Of course, I'm grumpy! I'm FUCKING EVIL!" Raditz proclaims.

The young Son Goku simply gave a smile. "Eh. You're alright."

. . . "I will blow up this ship and kill us both if you don't shut up, Kakarot."

. . . . .

"Well, that certainly stands out." Bardock calls out, glancing over a hill. Nappa sat grumbling, obviously extremely irritated at this tactical stuff. Bardock couldn't exactly blame him, they'd been traveling low profile, not knowing the nice fact that the enemy had no scouters.

As it stands, the two were staring at an impossible tall spire with a single large hutt like structure on the top. The larger saiyan growls. "Can't we just go in?"

Bardock sighed. Nappa really is all about destruction. Not exactly meant for this thing. "There's a power up there worthy of the Ginyu Force. He's definitely a local, so he may not be an enemy, but we don't want to risk a fight occuring." There's also the other power that feels slightly different from a fighter. It reminds the cross scarred saiyan of Kami. "Lets go. Don't start anything."

The large saiyan grunts as the two float up towards the top of the stone tower. They land on the top, outside the large white bubble like structure. Nappa smirks. "A nice view."

"I prefer the one on Earth, personally." Bardock speaks. The door opens up, a Namekian warrior in a blue vest, white pants, and white collar. Bardock looks him over. Yeah, that's the threat. "Hello."

The Namekian gives a cold stare. "You're the second group to come to us. By the look of your armor, you must be affiliated with the monsters attacking this world."

"Wrong. You're looking at a man who would love to snap that 'monster's' neck. I am Bardock. This is Nappa." Having spent years associating with Kami, Bardock got used to a passive aggressive standing with green men. "Don't suppose you'd have a dragon ball, would you?"

The Namekian's presence because more threatening as he and Bardock locked gazes. "Is that all you off worlders desire?"

Nappa's appalling abilities at sensing were apparent as he steps forward. "Listen, we aren't part of Frieza's army. We're on your side. The least you can do is cooperate before bad things happen."

The Namekian fumed at the saiyan's insolence, but Bardock cut in. "Nappa! That's not how we work." The large saiyan scoffed as suddenly, the Namekian and Bardock both snap their heads to the horizen.

Nappa glanced in the same direction, but couldn't detect anything. "What is it?"

The spiky haired warrior sighed. "Vegeta just killed Zarbon. Seems our so called prince has been busy." He glanced back at the local man. "How many other visitors have you had. Any Earthlings?"

The Namekian seemed put off. "You knew the exact names of the two monsters that just fought. We can't trust anything you say. I suggest you leave."

Bardock frowned. "Not happening. I'd prefer you answer my question."

The two glared in a staring contest. The wind sounded as dust and dirt blew off the top of the rock spire. The namekian's eyes narrow, before suddenly widening in shock. Bardock and Nappa each raise their eyebrows, trying to sense whatever alarmed their hostile host. The young warrior turns his head back to the building. "But sir! You can't risk yourself with them so near!"

Nappa tilts his head confused, but Bardock calms. "Ah. Telepathy." He visually relaxed. For a second, the green man's surprised face made him think Frieza was near.

The green man's gaze hits the ground as his teeth clench. "You asked about Earthlings? What's it to you?"

"One of them is my grandson. The other is bald." The spiky haired man spoke with no delay.

The namekian sighs. "If that's true, your 'grandson' is on his way here to receive a gift from our elder."

Bardock smirks. "Wonderful. Now, about the dragonball-"

"But" The green man cuts in. "That's all the information I'm willing to give out for free." He gets into a combat stance. "I'm Nail. I'm this planets strongest warrior sworn to guard our great elder." His eyes narrowed. "If you demand anything further, I WILL send you away … by force."

Nappa stretches his arm with a grin, but Bardock eyes him over his shoulder. "Nappa, you will lose if you try it."

"WHAT?!"

"Even with my power level, it would be a challenge for me." Bardock smirks at Nail. "As fun as it would be, my focus is defeating Frieza." His smirk grew. "Though, maybe you and I can fight after? You're definitely the strongest green man I've seen."

. . . . .

Space holds many dangers. Sometimes you run low on resources …

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE EATEN HALF THE FOOD?!" Raditz's voice roars, dripping angry sweat under the intense gravity. "What disgrace is that to a warrior of my stature?! I deserve at least trice as much!"

… Sometimes there's technical issues …

Goku and Raditz each lay on the ground stressing to get up. Raditz growls. "You … fool! Why did you do that?" The number counter on the gravity machine read 'x90'.

Goku awkwardly stressed and chuckled. "Eheh. I thought I hit '80'."

… But right now, these two brace space travelers face a truly terrifying problem. Damage to the outer hull.

Goku has just used his Kamehameha wave against the intense gravity of a star. The ship was now speeding away from danger, but it seems the younger brother has an issue.

Once more, Raditz growls. "You glued your foot to the hull?" The long spiky haired saiyan face palms in shame. "I can't, nor will I ever accept that we are related."

Goku's voice came in on the radio. "Hey, that's not entirely my fault!"

… Oh the dangers of space...

. . . . .

Nail had been standing off against Bardock for over half an hour, a grumpy Nappa fuming at the edge of the spire's cliff. Much like earlier, a sudden power sparks the two's interest. This time, even Nappa senses the sudden power. "Who's that?" Nappa questions.

Bardock frowns and sighs. "Vegeta's power just exploded to its maximum. Something must have pissed him off." He says, not realizing Vegeta just found out that Gohan had taken his dragonball.

Nail comments. "Two lesser powers are heading here. The bald one is one of them."

Bardock snaps his attention to Nail. "I can tell one is Gohan, but how is the other Krillin? His power is higher than Nappa's base!" A statement which caused said large saiyan to growl is nearly outburst in frustration.

Nail frowns at him. "Don't underestimate the gifts of our elder."

Bardock's eyes widen. Krillin's power is just a little bit shy of a ten times boost! The elder saiyan glances at the ground in thought. My power is currently about 42,000... If I could get that type of boost, I'd have a power level higher than 400,000! Still less than Frieza... but I still have something else. His tail twitches at the thought. My Oozaru form would total in power at 4,000,000! I could crush Frieza! He might keep a very minor speed advantage, but not enough...

Nail eyes Bardock. "Before you even ask, our elder would never give you such a gift."

The scar faced fighter is taken back just slightly, but then a smirk forms. "That's fine." He looks up fearless. "I would be a coward to accept a cheap power increase like that. I have my pride." The response seems to temper the green alien as two dots come into view. One stops, but the other speeds towards the three, Bardock instantly telling Gohan's power.

Gohan lands, smiling when his eyes land on Bardock. "Hey! You're here!" His eyes then find Nappa, the child's eyes hardening as he backs into a combat stance.

Nappa smirks happily. "Good stare on you, brat."

Bardock's glare causes Nappa to scoff and look away. Bardock speaks to Gohan with a small smirk. "You seem to have done a good job making Vegeta angry."

Nail cuts in. "Young one. The elder expects you." Gohan looking at him with wonder before following him into the structure. Nail glances back at the two saiyans. "It seems your intentions make you friendly, but don't think you can take any liberties."

Within moments, the two saiyans glance up as, who would have guessed, Vegeta and Krillin land, Vegeta holding a large dragon ball. Vegeta glances around, seeing Bardock. "I expected to find you sooner or later after seeing the brat."

"My prince." Bardock replies with a smirk. "Did you get taller?"

Vegeta growls. "Shut your mouth, low class garbage." He glances at Nappa, who seems slightly put off. "Ah, Nappa. Nice to see you up and around. You going to be the cannon fodder again?"

Nappa's veins pop out as his clenched frown threatens to break his teeth. "You're the one who nearly killed me!"

The prince chuckles. "And just what would you do to Raditz if the idiot was injured at your foot? You should be proud it was me who would have killed you!" Vegeta smiles. "I'm not here for any of you. I'm here for Kakarot. It was obviously his power I just felt."

Bardock and Nappa both took note of Gohan's increased power. As if in answer, the door to the building opens as Gohan steps out with Nail behind him.

"What?! How could that brat have that kind of power?"

Gohan smirks. "With this power, I'm even stronger than you were on Earth."

Vegeta stands in shock, but then suddenly laughs out loud. "My power on Earth? What a joke." A few last chuckles come out. "Congratulations. You're still weaker than the last two men I killed."

Vegeta eyes Nail. "You seem powerful. Maybe you could give me more of a workout than that village I slaughtered."

The comment sets the namekian off as he prepares to blitz the cocky prince. However, in a split second, Bardock appears between the two. "Vegeta, you should be aware of the powers around you. You still have nowhere near Frieza's power, so perhaps it would be better for you to ask for help before you make a fool out of yourself."

The prince sneers. "Hah! Don't make me laugh. I found Cui. I killed Cui. I found Dodoria. I killed Dodoria. I found Zarbon. I killed Zarbon. I may not know your power level, but I'm your prince. Now, bow!" He chuckles to himself.

The prince's laughter to himself is interrupted by a voice as the young Dende sprints out from the building. "Stop! Guru says there's a great power heading towards us!"

Everyone halts, Vegeta glancing at the building. "Guru? What?"

Krillin glances up. "Yeah... there is something coming." He smiles. "I bet its Goku!"

"Kakarot?" Vegeta glances up as well.

Gohan shakily adds. "I don't know... Feels like there's more than one."

Bardock cuts in. "Raditz is with him, but..."

Nail answers uneasy. "This is an evil power that approaches."

"Oh no... Not them. Anything but them." The prince sprints to Gohan, picking him up. "Where's the dragon ball?! Give it to me, and I promise no harm will come to you or your friends!"

"I-I don't have it!"

"Put him down!" Krillin demands. "You think we're stupid?"

Vegeta twists his head back. "Are you fools? These are no ordinary henchmen. Can't you feel it? These are Frieza's best of the best."

Nappa's face shows horror as he sweats. "T-... The Ginyu Force?!"

"Yes! The only way for us to live is to use the dragon balls and make me immortal!"

Bardock glances at Vegeta. "We won't make you immortal." He pauses as he looks back at the sky. "But the Ginyu Force feels as strong as they were decades ago. We won't win unless a wish is made."

Vegeta motions to the ball in his left arm. "The only way a wish is made is with the balls I've collected. If you want to live, the wish must be made for me to be immortal. We don't have time to argue. I won't harm anything."

All eyes land on Bardock, who glances at Nail. The namekian responds. "I'm afraid the saiyan is right. If he has all the other dragon balls, we can't make a wish. I doubt we can defeat the oncoming threat."

Bardock's eyes narrow in anger. "Then I guess it can't be helped." He looks to Vegeta. "Deal."

. . . . .

Soft snoring was heard, a blue haired woman sleeping with a dragon ball tied to her leg. With a sudden tug, she's toppled over, hitting the ground hard. Bulma snaps up. "Hey! What's the big deal?!"

Krillin, untying the ball, smiles. "Sorry, but we don't have time to explain. Need the dragon ball!" He grabs it as Vegeta calls.

"Now follow me to the other five!"

Bulma growls. "Krillin!" Krillin flies away. "GOHAN!" Gohan zips past. "VEGETA!" Vegeta speeds off. She then realizes Vegeta was there as Bardock flies past. "... Bardock?" Nappa after him. "N-Nappa?" She speaks quietly. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

. . . . .

"Here." The saiyan prince calls out as he descends and lands in front of his hiding spot for the other five dragon balls. Everyone else lands behind him. "Alright, now all we have to do is-" He stops when the others all stand still. "What are you doing?"

Krillin mutters. "We can't just go and make you immortal. We can't trust you."

"Are you dense? What are you? Mentally disabled? The Ginyus will be here any second!" Vegeta roars.

Nappa scoffs. "Vegeta has a point."

Bardock glares at the sky. "Doesn't matter. Everyone get ready." Everyone goes on alert as five powers are sensed. In one second, five newcomers blast in from the sky and land between the five and the dragon balls.

One a short green alien with four eyes and a fat build. One a tall and muscular redhead with a green scouter. Another tall and blue. The last was about Vegeta's height with long white hair and red skin. The final was purple with two horns.

Bardock quirks his brow. "New members I see."

Vegeta growls. "Damn it. There goes our chance."

The purple one was the first to speak. "Well, it seems we have a group here. Vegeta, it's been a long time. How are you?" Vegeta stared defiantly in response. "No answer? Hmm... I thought Nappa died on your escapades? Might as well have." Nappa fumes from the jab.

The red one cocks his brow. "Oi. I thought we only had three confirmed targets."

The redhead seems to go into deep thinking. "The two small ones were the two that Dodoria had gone after."

The blue was next. "Then that at least gives each of us at least some fun." He then eyes Bardock. "Hm? Who's that one?"

The green one merely focused his gaze on Vegeta. "Who cares? We're after Vegeta."

The purple one smirked. "Yes, well. I guess I'll take Vegeta. The rest you guys can divide with that Rock Paper Scissors thing you do." All four immediately whine and complain, each wanting Vegeta for themselves. "Oh, alright! You can have your fun. I'll have to take these dragon balls back to lord Frieza. But I need those two first." He points to the ones in Krillin's and Vegeta's hands.

Vegeta growls. "You want this ball?" All five pay attention to him. "Then go get it!" He throws it with all his power. However, within a single moment, the ball is plucked from the sky as the blue fighter lands next to Captain Ginyu with the ball.

"Here you go, boss." He hands it over with pleasure.

"Thanks, Burter." The Captain smirks.

Vegeta shakes, terrified, before yelling at Krilling. "Quick! Break the ball!"

"What-"

"Punch the damn thing!" Vegeta yells. Krillin cries out as he tries to smash it, but suddenly, the green fighter's eyes shimmer as the ball seems to magically teleport from Krillin's hands to the Ginyu fighters'.

Ginyu smirks and takes the second ball. "Good work, Guldo."

Our heroes could only stare dumbly at the exchange. Bardock's eye twitched as he watched Ginyu slowly levitate with the seven dragon balls. "This is bad."

Ginyu smirked. "Try not to take too long, boys."

"Yes, Captain!" All four sounded before their leader blasted off faster than any of our heroes could keep up with.

Nappa scowled and stepped back. "You know this won't end well."

"Shouldn't we... be running away?" The lone human in the group voiced.

Vegeta sighed. "No. There'd be no getting away. Best we stand and fight. Didn't you say Kakarot was on his way? To save the day and all that crap."

Gohan muttered. "Y-yeah? For US. Not you."

"I'm not looking to win a popularity contest!" The prince snapped. "I'm just saying, we could use his help."

"SOUND OFF!" The red man called. The four run in place, facing each other.

The blue one roars. "Speed of light and strength of all!"

The redhead calls out as they each step to their left into the next person's initial spot. "The Ginyu Force shall make them fall!"

The red one calls as they rotate around again. "Lord King Cold's army's strongest force!"

The green one calls next. "We'll beat them all! Secure the course!"

All four suddenly drop volume and speak plainly. "If trouble meets us as we pass,-" They each strike out in choreography. "We'll shove a fist right up their ass!"

"Jeice!"

"Burter!"

"Guldo!"
"RRRRECOOME!"

They take a final pose. "Beware the power of the Ginyu Force!"

Krillin and Gohan stare blankly. Nappa still looks serious, but his eye twitches. Vegeta nods over to Bardock. "Out of curiosity, were they like this in your time old man?"

Bardock sighed. "Actually? More tame."

Vegeta turns back to the spectacle. "A scary thought."

The four enemies shout out as they play rock paper scissors. After about four rounds, the first one shouts in victory. "YES! Vegeta is mine!" Guldo calls out in glee. He glares at Vegeta, who seems to ignore him. "Finally, I get to have my revenge on you... heheh."

The other three go again. This time, Burter calls out. "Seems, I get the one with the bandana." He laughs as Bardock narrows his gaze at him.

Next, Recoome smirks as he wins over Jeice. "Hmm, I get old Nappa." Said saiyan growls.

Jeice smirks. "Oh well, I get the two small ones." Krillin and Gohan shake slightly, but keep composed.

Guldo steps forward. He sweats slightly, but smiles as he glares at Vegeta. The young prince holds a frown but steps forward. Krillin sputters out. "Wait, you're going to play their game?"

Vegeta mutters so the Ginyu's can't hear. "Guldo is a tricky fighter, but I can wipe him out easily without any help. Besides, shouldn't we play along with this? It's the same strategy you lot used against Nappa and I on Earth."

Krillin lets his hands drop to his side and watches Vegeta walk off calm. "I … guess so."

The two fighters square off as everyone looks on. Gohan looks to Bardock. "You think he'll win?"

Bardock sits with his arms crossed. "One second." The young saiyan tilts his head, confused.

Guldo grins. "Are you ready, Vegeta? I'm going to get revenge on you for the way you mocked me!" Guldo puts his hands up as if he's already won. "And I will-" His eyes widen as a blue beam pierces his throat, his body falling back and head hitting the ground separate.

Vegeta laughed. "Sorry, your monologue seemed to scream 'Oh, Vegeta, please kill me! God this armor makes me look fat'."

Guldo's head spoke. "B-but how? I... am a member … of the Ginyu Force."

The other three Ginyu's looked shocked to see Guldo down so quickly. Vegeta merely smiled as his hand extended outward. "Not anymore." A bright flash erased the remains of the green alien.

Bardock called out. "One second." Gohan looked at him. "That was how long the fight lasted."

Krillin called out as the prince approached. "You call that buying time?!"

The scar faced warrior answered for Vegeta. "No saiyan in their right mind would extend a battle waiting for help. If the opponent is weak, we kill them." The prince smirked to assert the answer.

Burter cried out. "Vegeta's gotten stronger since we last saw him!"

"Aw, man. There goes the whole routine. The cap'n worked hard on that one too!" Jeice wined.

Recoome pauses a moment before commenting. "Not telling the Captain. Not it."

"Not it." Burter calls.

"Not- AWW damn it." Jeice grumbles.

Krillin smiles. "Hey, we have a two man advantage. Maybe we can win without Goku's help."

Bardock frowns. "No." He catches the monk's attention, but makes sure Vegeta isn't listening. "I'm the only one stronger than the weakest one of those three guys." His gaze shoots straight ahead. "In a straight battle, we'll be slowly picked off. Now the real fight begins." Recoome steps forward with a smirk. Nappa seems hesitant, but steps forward.

The large bald saiyan squares off with Recoome. The redhead smiles wide. "Heh heh. You won't last long." His scouter reads Nappa. "Pathetic. You're the weakest of the bunch."

Veins pop out on the saiyan's head as he starts to growl. "Nappa!" He looks back, seeing Vegeta staring at him. "The minute you get angry is the minute you die. Calm down!"

Nappa glares at the prince who nearly killed him before, but he soon takes a deep breath and smirks. "Don't get cocky." He gets into a power up stance. "I'm not about to be outdone by a human!" Nappa roars out as he powers up. Each of the Ginyu's scouters as well as Bardock's light up.

Jeice chuckles. "Oh? Hiding his power? Before, it was only 17,000."

Krillin looks at Bardock. "So how strong is the big guy?"

Bardock smirks. "On Earth, Nappa's power was 4000 at rest, but when he got serious, it shot to 7000. He's starting serious this time, though I'm not sure how long he'll last."

Burter and Jeice keep their smirks as a white energy aura glows purely around Nappa. "Impressive. He made it to 28,000."

Nappa crackles with power as he kicks off to a full speed blitz. Recoome goes wide eyed as Nappa seems to chop his front arm down, seemingly knocking his guard out before kneeing the redhead into the air.

Nappa charges the fighter, shoulder tackling the tumbling man into a far off mound, denting him into the hard rock. Suddenly, Nappa's right hand glows white as he plows the hand into Recoome's gut before releasing a powerful blast which wipes out the mound and all the land behind it. Nappa dashes back from the rubble and frowns.

Krillin chuckles weakly. "Wow. Big guy's as tough as ever."

"No. I still feel him." Gohan says, worried.

From the smoke and rubble, Recoome stands sideway, one foot on the ground, the other sticking straight back as his torso and head lean straight forward. "Feel the power of Recooooooome!" He steps out from the stance. His armor was broken off on the left side of the chest, missing the shoulder with his black suit underneath ripped. "That was a nice way to scratch my itch. Maybe you can do it again?"

The large saiyan steps back, surprised, but starts to fume. He powers up as his mouth opens up. Suddenly, a large blast roars out from Nappa's mouth, firing at Recoome, who takes the blast straight to the face. As soon as the blast hits, Nappa dashes left, circling around the smoke field, and then dashes into the dust and smoke, his first smashing into Recoome's jaw.

The redhead is launched away, his armor further broken up except for the right shoulder and chest. Nappa speeds after him, catching up and elbowing the large man down into the ground. Recoome smiles as he hits the ground, rolling to his feet and powering up. "Recooooooome KICK!" His knee connects with Nappa's chest, bashing the large saiyan away and skipping along the ground.

Nappa halts himself, growling and charging back. His new assault is cut short as Recoome tilts his head to the right to dodge Nappa's dashing punch. Recoome smiles, catching the arm and tossing Nappa into the air. Nappa recovers and tries to fly into the sky for distance, only for the Ginyu Force member to cut him off and missile kick him into the ground below.

Nappa gets up slowly to a knee as Recoome lands far off from him. "Come on! I know my name rhymes with doom, but I didn't think you'd be hurting this soon!"

Nappa, armor clearly damaged, grips his right shoulder. He growls, but calms himself.

"What? No response?" Recoome taunts, but shows surprise to see Nappa's right hand with two fingers pointing down. Nappa smirks and rotates his hand to point the fingers up. Suddenly, the entire area around Recoome ignites in a massive explosion from below the ground. The celebration is short lived as the redheads voice calls from the debris. "Wow, that was good. Is it my turn yet?" Recoome grins madly as he brings both hands up and launches a massive purple blast.

Nappa's eyes widen, but he brings his arms up for a block as the blast hits. Krillin and Gohan gasp as Bardock and Vegeta stare coldly. Krillin gulps. "Man, he's not doing well."

Recoome chuckles as he walks to the crater. Suddenly, Nappa bursts out, his armor half blown off. Nappa's palm smacks into Recoome's face before releasing a blast point black. Recoome takes the hit, falling back, but he rolls right to his feet, only missing some hair. He grins and dashes back, punching Nappa and catching his left arm by the wrist. Recoome pulls Nappa's arm to him and crushes it between his elbow and knee. Nappa releases a shrill scream as the redhead tugs the broken arm to toss the saiyan away. Nappa hits the ground with a thud, shaking violently to try to get up.

Gohan cries out. "Oh no!" He looks at Bardock, seeing a pained look. Bardock takes a step, but then looks over to Jeice and Burter. The red one of the two grinning at him. If he fights, it turns into an all out brawl... Gohan looks around, asking. "Wait, where's?"

Recoome steps slowly to Nappa, smiling before holding his hand out to blast him. "Well well, guess this is goodbye to the fun." He leans back as energy gathers in his mouth. "Eraser Gu-" Two fists come down on his head, closing his mouth and directing his blast down to explode on the ground in front of him. The massive explosion catches everyone off guard, Jeice and Burter showing shock. As the smoke clears, Vegeta is shown, standing in front of Nappa.

"Vegeta?"

The large saiyan looks wide eyed at his prince, confused more than anything. Vegeta scoffed. "I never let an opening be wasted. Saving your life had nothing to do with it."

Nappa smirked. "Right. A true saiyan, huh?"

The rubble clears as Recoome comes out, more damaged than ever, but still unfazed. "Hey! If Vegeta interferes, does that mean I get him too?"

Jeice and Burter exchange smirks. "Sure! But you'll have to treat us to lunch for a week!"

"Sure!" Recoome turns to Vegeta. "Look what you did now. I have to pay big time."

Vegeta steps into a combat stance as he suddenly yells out, a blue aura powering around him. Scouters light up yet again.

Bardock smirks. "Well, 33,000 total."

Gohan looks at Bardock. "What's the big guy's?"

"40,000... but he did arrogantly let Nappa attack him relentlessly. He might be able to pull it off if he adds enough injuries. It'll be close." The scar faced saiyan comments.

Vegeta shouts out as he bursts forward to elbow Recoome's gut. The redhead lurches forward, an uppercut cracking his head back as he falls back. Vegeta dashes up and around him, delivering a drop kick in the man's back to send him into the air. Before he's launched far, the short fighter catches Recome's leg and tosses him away. Vegeta powers up with an explosive blue aura as he puts his hands forward. "Burn in hell!" A massive blue blast shoots from his hands and erupts in an explosion blinding everyone.

Recoome rises from the resulting dust cloud, only to be met with Vegeta kicking the man at the throat. Recoome pulls back, coughing before Vegeta brings both fists into the large fighter's face. Vegeta tries to pursue, but Recoome whips around, launching a purple blast with a smirk. Vegeta ducks the blast. "Recoome KICK!" The kick catches the prince in the chest, knocking the air out of him and launching him into the water nearby. Recoome floats over the water, actually breathing hard. "Come on! Don't tell me you're dead from just that."

In a split second, Vegeta rockets from the water, plowing fist first into the large man's gut, knocking his air out. Vegeta pulls both hands back. "Don't mock me fool!" Purple energy gathers. "Galick Gun! FIRE!"

The crackling energy results in a massive mid air explosion. Seconds tick by as the smoke clears. Vegeta looks around for him, but all the sudden two arms grip Vegeta at his sides. Recoome, now visibly injured, dashes down from the sky with a smirk and piledrives Vegeta into the hard ground.

Recoome stands just outside the crater made by Vegeta's body and laughs. "Oh man, just in time to pick me some vegetables." He grips Vegeta's leg, pulling him out from the ground. He continues to laugh, but Vegeta's eyes shoot open just as he blasts Recoome point blank. The black knocks Recoome on his back as Vegeta rolls away and stands up slowly, breathing hard.

Recoome gets up, visibly tired. "Oh, that was something. Gotta say, you tried real hard Vegeta. You're tougher than we remember." He breathes heavy but smiles. "But time to die." He leans back as his energy gathers.

Krillin gets Gohan's attention. "Gohan, when he fires, get Vegeta. I'd knock the big guy."

"Right."

Recoome smiles wide. "Eraser Gun!" He fires this time, launching the attack.

"GO!" Krillin calls out.

The blast closes in on Vegeta. "Look out!" Gohan speeds into Vegeta and carries him out of the way of the blast. Just above Recoome, Krillin hits, closing his mouth and causing the blast to shoot out his teeth.

Krillin and Gohan regroup with Vegeta. "You idiots. You should have attacked him together and finished him. He doesn't have much fighting strength left."

Recoome, once again, seems to still stand as he looks at the two. His growing injuries finally starting to irritate him. "Okay, now I'm pissed off!" He looks to Jeice and Burter. "Hey guys! What about these two?"

Jeice growls. "Yeah! We're not letting you get any more fun! Those two are mine!" He powers up and speeds in, Krillin and Gohan cowering back. However, a blast cuts him off from moving. He turns in time to block a fist, getting knocked back.

Bardock lands between Jeice and Burter's position and everyone else. "Krillin! Gohan! Recoome is injured enough for you two to stand a chance. Combine your power." He glares at the two remaining members as a blue aura powers around him. "Come on! You two are fighting me!"

Burter asks. "This guy was strong enough to push you back?"

Jeice's scouter reads off as he scowls. "Power level 42,000?!"

Bardock frowns as he glares at them. Yeah. Both of you are at 45,000... but if all else fails. His tail twitches. I have my ace. Now, He looks into the sky. Where the hell are those two?!
