Nappa's end

Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin and Goten were waiting for Goku to come and fight Vegeta. Nappa had gone to have some 'fun' with the army that dared to come near the place of battle.

While they were waiting they tried to think up a plan. "I know... remember when daddy grabbed Raditz's tail? Raditz couldn't do anything. He was useless." Gohan said. Krillin and Goten agreed instantly, thinking it was a great idea. Gohan looked at Piccolo and asked him "What do you think Mr. Piccolo?" Piccolo thought about Gohan's idea and said "I don't think that's a good idea Gohan." Gohan looked puzzled and curiously asked "Why?" Piccolo then proceeded telling them a much better plan than Gohan's. "Listen, while I still have the chance, this is what we'll do if Nappa comes back and we must fight him if your dad's not here in time. Krillin and Goten will distract him and I will grab his tail. While I am holding him you must run as fast as you can to Nappa and try to hurt him. While you are trying to do that, I will rip off his tail."

Gohan looked in surprise at Piccolo "What will that help Mr. Piccolo?" Piccolo smirked smugly "Do you remember when you woke up with no tail?" Gohan looked a bit puzzled and cautiously asked "Yes?" Piccolo then proceeded of telling them about how Gohan's Ki went down considerably.

"We might not be able to defeat him afterwards, but it will weaken him considerably, at least giving us an edge." Krillin and Goten agreed. Gohan observed Vegeta. Gohan didn't know how long they still had to wait. To him It felt like an hour had past.

While Vegeta was being observed, Goten went to Piccolo. Piccolo was deep in thought. Goten pulled gently at Piccolo's gi. Piccolo snapped out of it. "hmm, what do you want kid?" Goten felt a bit uncomfortable under Piccolo's eye scorching gaze. He put his hand behind his head in the typical son manner "Well I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of my baby brother all this time." Piccolo allowed a slight smirk to appear on his face "Sure kid."

Piccolo observed the boy. When he noticed that Goten didn't have a tail he frowned. "Hey kid, why don't you have a tail?" He asked. Goten looked a bit surprised when Piccolo said that. He figured piccolo thought he probably thought he was Goku's biological son. "Mr. Piccolo, I don't have a tail, because I am human. Dad and mom adopted me when I was just two years old. About a year later Gohan was born."

Piccolo nodded "I see." Piccolo noticed something "Do you have a bond with your brother?" Goten looked surprised and said "How do you know?" Now it was Piccolo's turn to be surprised. He knew Gohan loved his brother a lot, but to have a bond with him, like Piccolo still shocked him. "Well..." Piccolo started to explain "Firstly, you seem to know how he feels and you know most of his paces to touch when he feels angry, scared or threatened. Do you remember when he saw Yamcha get brutally murdered? Well think about how he reacted and you treated him." Goten thought back and saw Piccolo was right about those signs that he and Gohan had given him.

Flashback

Yamcha powered up to full. Unfortunately, whatever training he had was useless against the mindless brute as he fazed behind Yamcha and started to brutally murder him. Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, Chaoutzu and Krillin looked in shock as they saw their best friend die before their very eyes.

Gohan's Ki subconsciously began to rise as well as his anger. Goten and Piccolo noticed this and tried to calm him down. Goten rubbed Gohan's incredibly fuzzy belt in a soothing manner and it seemed to calm Gohan down.

Nappa landed and went to Vegeta and the talked about something in a language none of them understood.

Vegeta opened his eyes a while later and announced "Well the three hours are up. It looks like Kakarot isn't going to be here." Nappa laughed and took off all of his armor. Piccolo looked at everybody. His eyes told them the plan was ready.

Krillin made a face at Nappa who roared "You dare make fun of a sayain elite!?" He ran at them. He stopped half-way when he saw Goten do something.

"Kaaaaaa.." Nappa stood there waiting for Goten to finish his move.

"MEEEEEE…" Vegeta saw in his scouter that Goten's Power level went up to two thousand. Vegeta smirked.

"HAAAAA…" What's this? Goten's power level went up to three thousand.

"MEEEEE…" Vegeta smirked as he knew Nappa was stronger than that.

"HAAAAAA!" The blast was shot and Nappa dodged it effortlessly. "Nice try kid. Yet as I said, I am a sayain Elite. There is no way you can beat me."

Just than he heard laughter come from both Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and even a snicker from Goten. "He's coming! Yay! Daddy's coming." Yelled Gohan and Goten. Nappa burst out and said "It can't be Kakarot!" HE looked around "WHERE IS HE!?"

Vegeta calmly said "Be quiet Nappa." He gently took his scouter and said "We will see if something is coming." He tapped the button and gasped "What Vegeta?" Nappa asked slightly surprised why his comrade has that look of shock on his face. "Something is defiantly coming, but it can't be Kakarot, the power level is too high." Vegeta looked at Nappa grimly "Whatever is coming here has a power level of five-thousand." Nappa looked shocked "FIVE-THOUSAND! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!"

That was when Vegeta said "NAPPA! Kill them all!" Nappa looked at Vegeta with a bit of shock etched on his face. "Even the namekian?" He asked "Yes, it's all coming clear to me now." He proceeded of telling Nappa of his plan about Namek and how they needed only a namekian to make the dragon balls.

While Nappa was distracted Gohan ran forward and grabbed the Sayain's tail. Nappa looked smug and said "hah, I trained my tail, you know." Now Gohan just smiled darkly and said "Oh, I don't want to touch it. I want to rip it off!" Nappa's eyes widened with shock. Gohan ripped off Nappa's tail and kicked him into a mountain as hard as he can, thus draining Gohan's energy.

The ground rumbled and out jumped Nappa. Nappa just stood there with veins of anger, showing that he was pissed. Nappa then yelled in a VERY frightening voice "BRAT! YOU HAVE RIPPED ME OF MY PRIDE! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

He started charging a terrifyingly big blast of Ki. Gohan stood dumbstruck, he couldn't move. When Nappa was finished he said "TAKE! THIS!" He threw it at Gohan. Krillin was paralyzed in fear, so was Goten.

Piccolo saw one of his most cherished memories with Gohan.

Flashback

Gohan looked at Piccolo and smiled "You know Piccolo, it's hard to think that you and my dad was once enemies. You're more like my big green uncle." Piccolo was a bit surprised at that statement and stood up. He walked to Gohan and observed him again. His tail swished in the breeze that came. Piccolo sometimes swore that tail was bigger than him. Speaking of the tail the only time Piccolo allowed Gohan's tail to be 'out' was when he was resting or sleeping. The tail wasn't allowed anywhere else. Gohan looked at Piccolo and Piccolo said "Thanks kid, now go to sleep. The sayains will be coming and I don't want to remind you what will happen. The thing is Gohan, we WILL be fighting tomorrow and don't let your emotions come in the way because…" Gohan sighed and said before Piccolo could finish "Because emotions are weak like you said. I know Mr. Piccolo, I know. It's just that I feel something is going to go horribly wrong tomorrow."

Piccolo once again looked upon the young child. Piccolo had given Gohan a new Gi. It looked almost the same as Piccolo only it didn't have the cape. Gohan sighed yet again before curling into a fetal position and slept. Piccolo smirked when he saw Gohan's face a while later. The boy looked so innocent while he slept. Piccolo had long since accepted these new feelings towards his arch-rivals son.

No! Piccolo ran towards Gohan, desperate to save the boy that was his only friend. He must save his student, so that Gohan can live on. He phased in front of Gohan arms stretched wide. Gohan knew what Piccolo was doing…. but it was too late. The blast hit and Piccolo screamed in agony. When the dust cleared, piccolo fell to the ground. Gohan stood bewildered and ran to Piccolo. "Piccolo!"

Piccolo smiled at Gohan and said "Listen Gohan, I don't have much time left, so listen to me." Gohan shook his head and said "No Mr. Piccolo, please don't die. I don't know what will happen if you do." Gohan had tears streaming out of his eyes. "Gohan, you were my only friend. I still remember the day I brought you to my camp. You were a whiny brat, but with so much potential. Whatever challenge I threw at you, you met on with full force."

Gohan listened. Nappa laughed and Vegeta smirked. Goten and Krillin were just looking in shock at Piccolo and Gohan.

"Goodbye, Gohan my friend." Were the last words that came out of Piccolo's mouth, before he closed his eyes. "Piccoloooo…." Gohan moaned in emotional agony.

Nappa then laughed and taunted "Do you now know how I feel? To lose something precious. And guess what, while I will regrow my tail, you are stuck with a dead namekian, there is way to revive him. HAH!"

Gohan looked at Nappa with violence in his eyes and let out a Primal scream "RAAAAUUUUGGGH!" Vegeta was shocked Gohan's power level shot trough the roof. "3000, 4000, 5000. NAPPA GET OUT OF THERE, THIS ONE IS STRONGER THAN THE REST!"

Gohan created a masenko "MASENKO…. HA!" He shot his masenko at Nappa, it seemed that Nappa was dead. There was a lot of smoke, revealing a slightly battle damaged Nappa. When Gohan saw that Nappa was slightly harmed he fell towards his knees and was panting for air. Vegeta smiled and said to himself "Aah his power level has gone back to normal."

Nappa now stood in front of the boy, towering over him. "Don't worry, brat. You will meet your mentor soon enough." He paused and said "It's a shame though, you have so much potential. Oh well…." He gave a dark grin

"Goodbye. Brat."

He stomped on the ground. Wait the ground? Nappa looked around and saw Gohan on a yellow…cloud? "What the hell?" Gohan opened his eyes. He looked as surprised as Nappa. "Nimbus…but, then that means." Gohan looked up above and sure enough, Goku was there.

Gohan was so happy. He faintly smiled and said "Hi dad." Meanwhile Goku was very angry. He landed and said "So I am guessing that you are the sayains. I saw how bloodthirsty you are. Killing innocents." Nappa laughed and said "Yeah, I killed them all. I even killed the namekian. Now you can't even wish them back."

Goku walked towards Krillin and Goten, Gohan followed with the Nimbus. He gave Gohan and Krillin and Goten each a Senzu bean, even though they wanted to let Goku have it.

Gohan jumped off Nimbus.

Vegeta laughed "So this is the great GOKU. Phf, pathetic third class." Vegeta's words dripped with sarcasm and made Gohan's stomach churn.

Goku looked at his son's and best friend and said "Get out of here, I'll be able to handle them."

His family lifted into the air and flew away. Nappa cockily flew after them and said "Who said you can go home." Goku knew he wasn't going to make it in time, so he yelled "KAIO-KEEEEN!" His aura became blood red, his strength and speed increased dramatically and he flew fast into Nappa's back, swiftly breaking it. He threw Nappa at Vegeta.

Vegeta looked at Nappa without mercy. Nappa painfully said "Please Vegeta take my hand." Vegeta did. Nappa smiled "Thank you." Now Vegeta cruelly laughed and said "It's the least I can do." He crushed Nappa's hand and threw him into the sky. He prepared a Ki blast and shouted at Nappa "MAYBE YOU WON'T EMBARRESS YOURSELF, IN HELL" HE shot the Blast at Nappa.

The blast shook the entire sky and Nappa was gone.

Goku looked disgusted at the Sayain's method of punishment. He turned back to his family and best friend. "Go to master Roshi's. NOW!" Goten and Krillin were already on their way. Gohan stayed though. He looked at his father and said "Father, Goten and Krillin are humans. Vegeta, you and I are Sayains. This is a battle you and I MUST do."

Goku looked at his son and said "Gohan, I don't want you to get hurt. Please go now." Gohan stubbornly said "NO! I must fight. I have no choice in the matter." Vegeta laughed and said "The boy's right you know. He is a true sayain. Sayains can't resist a good fight. Tell me Kakarot… are you ready to die. I am in no hurry. Nappa slowed me down anyway. Talk to your son."

Goku opened his mouth and Gohan immediately said "No! I am not the child you think me to be. Have you seen me call my mom or dad, NO! I have survived in the wilderness for four long months. I have trained with Piccolo for eight months, specifically for this moment. I have to avenge Piccolo, he was my family. I MUST avenge my family. I am NOT backing down. End of story."

Goku was stunned. He looked visibly shocked, but on the inside he felt proud. He then said with uttermost pride "So be it." Gohan smiled and both of them turned towards Vegeta and went into a stance. Gohan went into a Demon-like stance and Goku's form slipped into that of the turtle style.

Vegeta laughed "Good work. Now it's time die."

Both father and son were more than ready to fight to fight the sayain Prince. Goku then said "Gohan let me go first."

"Sure dad."

Goku looked at Vegeta once again and said "Let's rake this fight to a safe place." Vegeta looked at Goku and said "Agreed. We can fight without anybody interfering."

Goku then said "Follow me." Vegeta and Gohan followed Goku to a barren desert.

Vegeta stood there looking smug. Gohan was on another rock and crossed his arms. Goku was already sliding into a turtle styled form. "Kakarot, I have to ask you, join me in my fight for victory."

Goku politely said "No thanks. I have everything I want, right here on Earth."

Vegeta laughed and said in a cool voice "So be it then, Kakarot. Prepare to fight."

Both of them lunged at each other. Gohan could only watch in awe at their power. The battle for the safety of Earth has begun.
