"I've received direct orders from Lord Freeza," announced Nappa. "The Earth has refused to pledge loyalty to him and Earth's Special Forces have proven to be a problem. An especially difficult one is the saiyan, Kakarot."

King Vegeta lifted his chin in disdain at the mention of that name. "He's Bardock's youngest child. That low level scumbag has brought shame to our race."

"Sire, our orders are to eliminate Earth's Special Forces, or at the very least, kill Kakarot, and the Namekian Piccolo junior."

King Vegeta nodded. "Very well. Contact Turles and tell him to go to Earth and take the hybrid, Gohan, with him."

"Father," spoke the prince as he stood next to his father's throne. "Why not let me go. I'd jump at the chance to put that supposed Super Saiyan in his place."

Shaking his head, the king dismissed Nappa before turning to his son. "Vegeta, you have in you the blood of saiyan royalty. Why waste time with that low level scum? Let Turles and the half-breed deal with Kakarot."

"But father! People are saying that he was a super saiyan! He defeated King Piccolo! Are we to appear like cowards by sending others to put him down for us? What would that make us?"

"That's enough Vegeta," said the King strictly. "By not going, we're showing how beneath us Kakarot is. Even if he were a super saiyan, he wouldn't be it anymore. Only a royal like you would be able to sustain that transformation. He lost it after using it to defeat King Piccolo. Just be calm, Kakarot will be put in his place by someone below us, which will only serve to strengthen our image."

Vegeta crossed his arms. "Fine father. As you wish."


Two space pods entered Earth's atmosphere. In one, sat Turles, a saiyan who resembled Goku. The other held a twelve-year old boy, named Gohan. He was the half-breed son of Goku, and wore a sleeveless armor, resembling Turles', only with black spandex underneath with black gloves and boots.

"Master Turles, how long until we can return to planet Uralda? I'm anxious to reconnect with my childhood friends. It's hard to maintain friendships over long distances."

"Don't worry Gohan," replied Turles. "Once eliminate Earth's Special Forces, we'll report back to Vegeta, and then you'll be free to return home. You can see your girlfriend again too."

Blushing, Gohan shook his head. "Juu's not my girlfriend. She's a girl and she's a friend!"

Turles chuckled. "Relax Gohan. I was just joking." He then became serious. "We should focus now. We're about to land and I'm sure the Earth's Special Forces have been notified of our presence."

Gohan nodded. "This guy…Kakarot. Is he really my biological father?"

"You were cloned using his DNA, so technically he is. I hope that fact won't get in the way of our mission though."

"Don't worry master. I won't have any problems."

"Good."

The two pods crashing into the snowcapped peaks. The hatches opened, allowing their occupants to step out.

Gohan started bending and stretching.

"Feels good to be out of that pod doesn't it?" chuckled Turles.

A throat clearing alerted them the presence of others.

"You were sent here by Vegeta right," asked Goku in a serious tone. "What business does he have here? We made our independence very clear."

Behind him floated Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin.

Turles chuckled. "How amusing you all are. I am sure you know that we cannot accept your answer. The Earth will join the alliance or face martial action."

Goku and the others tensed up. "We won't let you."

Grinning in anticipation, Turles turned to Gohan. "Why don't you get acquainted with your father? I'll deal with the other four."

With a serious expression, Gohan nodded. "Off course master."

Turles then phased in front of Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha and Tien. "You'd best give up fools. Unless you all have death wish."

"It's four against one," replied Piccolo. "The odds seem to be in our favor."

"Let's get him!" yelled Krillin as he and the others engaged Turles in a four on one battle.

Gohan and Goku started exchanging blows. They seemed to be evenly matched.

"You're pretty good for a child," said Goku. "It's a real shame that we have to fight."

"Whatever," replied Gohan stoically.

As they exchanged blows, Gohan found an opening. Hitting his father in the jaw, he sent Goku flying into a snow-capped peak.

Turles smirked at his opponent's futile attempts to defeat him. So far, none of them had landed a single blow.

"Come on. Is this all Earth's Special Forces have to offer?"

"Destructo Disk!" Krillin formed his disk and threw it at the saiyan.

Catching the attack, Turles threw it and scored a direct hit on Yamcha. The others watched in horror as Yamcha's upper and lower halves dropped to the ground.

"You'll pay for that!" yelled Tien. "Tri Beam!"

Turles crossed his arms, and met the attack head on. Moving his arms in a circular motion, he dispersed the energy. However, his opponents were not in front of him.

"A valiant effort, but…" Turles thrust his elbow backwards, earning a shriek of pain from Krillin as the bald midget fell to the ground, clutching at his broken ribs.

Spinning around, he then hit Tien with a roundhouse kick.

The three-eyed warrior gasped as he dropped to the ground. He also had broken ribs.

However, Turles didn't react fast enough to stop Piccolo, who grabbed his tail.

"I've got you now," said Piccolo. "Let's see you get out of this one."

Turles started laughing. "No doubt you learned about this weakness from Kakarot. However, saiyans at my level have long since overcome this weakness."

Piccolo's eyes widened, in shock and horror.

"Too bad namek, but I suppose it's time I end your life." Turles flung Piccolo into the air with his tail. Phasing on above him, he then slammed his foot into the namekian's back, sending his unfortunate opponent back down. He then phased onto the ground near Piccolo's fallen body.

"It's over green man!" Stepping on Piccolo's head, Turles extended his hand and blasted him into oblivion.

He then started walking toward Krillin, and Tien, who had since gotten back up.

"This isn't good," said Krillin in a shaky voice. "He was strong enough to beat all four of us. Yamcha and Piccolo are dead so what chance do we have?"

"We have to try," replied Tien. "If we don't stop them, they'll force the Earth under Freeza's rule."

Turles chuckled. "Now what should I do with you two? We weren't given any specific orders regarding you humans. Maybe I'll let you live." Turles then looked up to see what was happening with Gohan.

Goku swatted away a small ki blast, and fired some of his own as he backed away.

Gohan deflected every blast as he relentlessly pursued his father. He tried to punch him, but missed.

Goku grabbed his arm and swung him around before throwing him towards a mountain. However, Gohan rebounded and came back with a flying kick. Dodging it, Goku turned around to see that Gohan had been charging energy between his thumb, middle and index fingers.

Spinning around, Gohan yelled, "Warhead Crusher!" The electrically charged beam came streaming out, from between his three digits. Black lightning snaked around it as it shot towards Goku.

"Oh no!" Knowing he could not dodge, Goku crossed his arms in a futile attempt to protect himself.

Krillin and Tien watching in horror as the beam tore through Goku's defense and drilled its way through. The electricity from the beam made Goku looked like he was having a seizure before his body was blown to bits.

Krillin felt the tears coming. Dropping to his knees he screamed, "Goku!"

Turles looked at Tien and Krillin before turning back to Gohan.

"Let's get out of here Gohan. We've accomplished our mission."

Gohan looked at the two human warriors. "What about those two?"

"Their spirits were broken when you killed Kakarot. They won't be a threat to us. We've eliminated him and the Namek. Those were our specific orders. The fate of the others was left to us."

"I understand master," replied Gohan.

They both flew to their pods. Getting inside, they activated them, leaving the planet to report back to planet Vegeta.
