5:01 p.m.
Ship landing site
-First Battle of Shinja City-
"Sir, we'll be reaching the ships in a matter of seconds."
"That's good, notify the men and prepare for battle." General Tetsuo says into his radio from inside his tank. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a small sigh.
"General sir, you really think we have a chance against these aliens?" asks one of the soldiers from inside.
Tetsuo looked at him and could see the fear within the young soldier. The soldier's name was Shinji Yumaru, and he was the general's freshest man. Tetsuo wished that the young man's first battle didn't have to be against these aliens. He remembered himself having that same kind of fear when he first enlisted in the army and went into his first battle. Even tough Tetsuo himself knew their chances for living through this were slim, he still knew he had to keep faith alive for his men.
"Let me worry about our chances. Just keep driving until we reach a standpoint." he said trying to comfort the soldier.
As Tetsuo's army finally reaches the two ships, the tanks and other millitary vehicles line up in attack formation. General Tetsuo's tank comes to a halt and he opens up the hatch to scan the ships through his binoculars. The intense quiteness lingers on the battlefield as the men line up near the tanks and prepare themselves for the battle to come.
"You scared Akira?" asked one of the soldiers who was standing outside amongst the others. He walked up to the soldier known as Akira Yuki who glanced back in his direction.
"Not really scared, more like nervous Ein." Akira answered. The two of them remained stationed at their posts and awaited the General's orders to attack. The stillness of the front was soon disturbed by the rushing sounds of helicopter blades. Some of the soldiers turned their gaze upwards to see the news helicopter followed by other army helicopters flying above.
"The army has stoped and is taking attack formation." the reporter states from the comfort of the helicopter as it circles around. "Well folks, this is the moment of truth, and I can assure you that those aliens have met their match."
As some of the men continue to watch the scene up above, Tetsuo reaches for his radio inside his tank.
"Is everybody in their places? I will give the signal to attack." he says over the radio.
As the men continue to wait, the faint sound of one of the cargo doors opening from the troops and weapons ship catches their attention. The men stand in silence while watching Dusty and his army marching out. They are followed by the members of the New Ginyu force and other soldiers in robotic machines called L.A.C.S, or Land Air Combat Suits. The machines come marching out of the hanger on two sturdy legs, moving rather swiftly and not as clumsy as they might seem. Along with the small handfull of Dusty's men that come out are combat android troops, or C.A.T.s, advanced robotic soldiers. As they come marching out they take up their own formation as well, with the androids setting up front while Duty's men stay behind to use them for protection. They all remain quiet and watch Tetsuo's army.
"Reeve, I want you to remain on standby inside the cargo transport. We might not need your unit's help on this but we're not sure yet." Dusty says into his communicator.
"Gotcha. Watch your back out there man." responds a voice on the other end.
"Don't worry about me, I'm an amazon warrior remember. I can take care of myself."
"Well you do just that then you cocky bastard." the voice on the other end of Dusty's communicator says with a slight chuckle. "If you need us just call."
"Right." Dusty said signing off. He gave a big sigh and readied his weapons and himself to give the attack order.
"It appears that the aliens have come out to attack as well. They are followed by what looks like...miniature walking airplanes with arms. Well put all worries aside because I doubt they will be any match against our army!" the reporter comments as they circle around the scene unfolding below them.
----------
Cee lands on the roof of Frost's ship and gazes out at the tanks and japanese soldiers lined up only yards away. Taking in a deep breath he closes his eyes and opens them again, waiting for the battle that was to come. Cee wasn't the only spectator, Frost and Isicle were awaiting inside their chamber and Team C and the Assassins had gathered around seperate windows to get a good view of what was to come.
"I still don't know why we couldn't just take care of that army. I mean I could've taken them on by myself, all I had to do was wave my hand and they'd be history." Ajay said looking out the window with his teammates.
"That's if you didn't get hit by a laser round first." Tiffany said. We may be powerful but we still need time to charge our energy to attack."
"Yeah yeah. I still could've taken them."
"Besides, the commander has other plans for us. We're to remain on standby in case Goku returns." stated Rosh.
"You really think he'll be comming here after the beating we gave him and his friends?"
"The commander wants to take no chances. It's possible he may come and it's possible he may not." said Chance.
"Well if he does come, this time let's finish the job."
----------
The quiteness lingered in the air as the two armies stared each other down. The only sounds to be heard are the whirling blades of the helicopters circling above awaiting the general's attack order. One final gust of wind blew across the ground and as if it were acting as a signal both Dusty and Tetsuo gave the order.
"FIRE!"
"ATTACK!"
Both sides of the army lets loose a display of firepower and the battle begins.
"And there you have it folks, the battle for the planet has begun!" the reporter announces. The news helicopter quickly flew up to avoid the heavy fire between the two sides. Everything was being caught on camera, the missiles flying by and the tanks emptying their rounds as the men run for cover. Those who don't reach any kind of cover in time are thrown about in the air and land as lifeless bodies on the ground. The tanks empty their rounds as the men run for cover. Dusty and his troops fire back at Tetsuo's army as they dodge the explosions and gunfire.
"Our arm-lasers don't have much effect on their tanks!" shouted out Erron.
"Then we'll lay down fire on their troops and let the L.A.C.Ss take care of their vehicles!" Dusty shouted back. He reached for his communicator and tried to contact Electron. "Hey you there?!" he shouted into it hoping Electron could hear him over the commotion.
"Yeah this is Electron, over."
"I need your men to target their tanks, our arm-lasers don't have much effect on them. You handle the vehicles and we'll handle the troops!"
"Gotcha!" Electron said turning off communication with Dusty. He changed frequincies and contacted the other men inside the other L.A.C.Ss. "Okay guys, lets get those tanks! We'll stand up front to lay down some protection, and will someone tell those damn androids to lay down some coverfire and manuver more! They're just standing there hardly doing anything!" Electron shouted out noticing the combat droids. They hadn't moved at all and stayed motionless as random shots from Tetsuo's army picked them off. Dusty and Erron watched as Electron and the other L.A.C.S pilots positioned themselves at the head of the line. They provided some cover for the men to duck behind, but not enough as a tank round tore through the ground next to Erron.
"You okay kid?!" Dusty shouted running to the kid's side.
"Yeah." Erron answered getting back to his feet. "You know this would be alot easier if those damn robots would do their part!" He dusted himself off and immediately ran up to the nearest combat android. "You stupid piece of shit, WORK!" he shouted giving it a good hard kick. The android buzzed a bit before it's eyes flashed a bright white.
"C.A.T number 6477-10 activated." It said in a robotic voice. "Initiating battle plans 6450. All C.A.T's ready for attack."
Dusty and Erron just looked at each other and jumped back as the android fully activated itself along with all the others. They immediately joined the battle and began marching up front to cover the other men by activating their energy shields.
"Well that's more like it." commented Dusty as he and Erron went back into the battle.
Tetsuo ducks back inside his tank for cover as a nearby tank explodes sending debrie scattering everywhere.
"Sir, their vehicles are targeting our tanks and they're taking them out one by one!" reports the same soldier from inside Tetsuo's tank. "Not only that but those robot soldiers have some type of shields that stop our bullets and lasers. We can't break through and if this keeps up they'll advance on us in no time!"
"Tell all tanks to focus fire on those robots! Their shields might repell small blast but I doubt they're a match for cannon fire! As for their vehicles get Sargent Rikumaru on it right away!" Tetsuo orders.
Above, the news helicopter films everything as the other helicopters fly around in the battle. They fly towards the ships and unleash a heavy torent of bullets and missiles sending Dusty's troops scattering.
"Got one!" shouts Sargent Rikumaru from inside his helicopter. He had succesfully managed to destroy a mec and his men circled around to do another run.
"Those damn things are getting us from above!" shouts out Dusty as the choppers fly by shooting their missiles at his troops and at the mecs. "Electron, see what you can do about them!" he shouts in his scouter.
"Right!" Electron answers back. "Channel, take care of the air."
"Gotcha!" responds Channel. "Air is my specialty." He types in a series of commands and soon his L.A.C.S starts to transform, slighty hovering in the air off both it's feet as the legs join with the body. At the same time the wings that were hooked on both sides began unfolding down to form a jet ready for combat.
"Amazing!" exclaims General Tetsuo, watching the whole transformation through his binoculars.
"What the hell?! Those things can transform!" Rikumaru shouts trying to evade Channel's attack. He manages to outmanuver him but unfortunately his men aren't so lucky. As Channel flies by he unloads a few rounds into an awaiting helicopter destroying it. "Ibuki, take half the men and attack that thing, the rest of you follow up on the assualt against their vehicles. Notify Captain Azaka to launch the attack on those ships with his jet squadren!" yells Sargent Rikumaru into his radio as he witnesses another helicopter get blown apart.
"Yes sir! Kinjo, Kai, Sato, Tanaka, Yamaguchi, follow me!" Ibuki shouts into his radio. He leads the men into combat with Channel.
"So it's gonna be six against one huh?" Channel says watching the six army copters break away and head for him. "Well that's not very good odds.....for them."
----------
"You mean the aliens or the army?" Cody asked back.
"Actually, it looks like the army could pull this one off." Yamcha replied.
"Yeah I think you're right." Gohan said looking over Yamcha's shoulder.
"No, they can't." Ryan mumbled glued to the television. "They can't win against the power we faced earlier."
"But that's the thing, why aren't the same guys we fought earlier out there? Why did Frost send an army to fight when that team would've been more than enough to handle them?" Krillin asked. He was puzzled by the situation.
"Maybe those other guys are busy with something. Maybe they've already begun searching for the dragonballs!" exclaimed Chiaotzu.
"If that were the case then we would've sensed them on the move." stated Goku. "No they're still at those ships, I can feel them there."
"Man I wish we knew what was going on over there!" Tien shouted clutching his hands into fists. "This is crazy, this means that even of the millitary manages to defeat that army that still doesn't mean they'd stand a chance against Team C."
"He's got a point there." Cody said.
"Then that just means we're going to have to do something, and soon." Piccolo stated.
"Do something? You mean like in going over there?" Alex asked. He didn't like the idea of having to fight Team C again after the beating they got earlier, and to attack them at their ships? No way.
"It looks like we're going to have to if things get rough." Yumi said.
"That's right. The least we can do is try to prevent anymore deaths from happening. I won't let these aliens go around on a killing spree, not while I have a chance to do something about it this time." Ryan said.
"Well how do you suppose we do that?" asks Zaria. "Think for a minute, if we get into another head on fight again something worse than what happened earlier may happen. In honesty we were lucky to escape in the condition we did. It's like King Kai said, we can't afford to rush into things we're going to have to think this out."
"Yeah but this is stupid sitting here and watching people die. We need to do something, anything."
"The only other option left is to go to the ships and act as a distraction."
"Wait what do you mean?" Krillin asked.
"We're going to have to act as a distraction of some kind, buy the millitary enough time to get out of there before anything serious happens."
"You don't mean like, attack the ships do you?" Alex asked. He had a feeling that's what Goku had in mind.
"WHAT?!" Chichi shrieked out. "Goku I will not have you getting into another fight with those people again, you barely came back here alive! The last thing I need now is for you and Gohan to go running off again!"
"Chichi, this is something that has to be done. If we don't go then more innocent people will die."
"If you go then you'll die! You'll stay right here and let the millitary handle this!"
"Chichi no!"
The room went totally silent. No one spoke a word. Chichi was stunned, she didn't know how to react. In all the time she had been with Goku she never heard him talk back to her like that, in fact nobody had ever heard Goku raise his voice like that. It was at that very point that they all knew this was serious.
"Dad." Gohan quietly said.
"I can't sit here and watch people die because of my mistake. It pains me to know that this time our opponents might be stronger than we are, but I owe it to the people of Earth to buy them as much time as they need to stay alive for as long as they can until we figure something out. I know you don't want me to go and I know none of the others want to go over there either but this is something I need to do."
"That's where you're wrong Goku." Ryan said. "You couldn't talk me out even if you tried. I'm not backing out of this."
"That's right, we're all in this together." Tien stated.
"He's right, this isn't just your fight this is all of us's fight now. We have to stop anymore unnecesary bloodshed. I know it might cost us our lives but it's all we can do. We're the only ones that can stop them. Besides, we might get the advantage, I'd doubt they'd expect us to attack after the beating they gave us earlier." states Piccolo.
"So we're going to help out the army now." Cody said to himself. "Leave it to them to mess things up for us."
"Means it's rematch time with those five guys again." Ryan stated. "This time I'm ready for them."
"I guess we really have no choice." Alex mumbled taking a glance back at the t.v.
----------
"I can't believe this is going on. Who would've guessed we'd be under attack by aliens?" Marissa muttered to herself. She was in the kitchen watching t.v and fixing dinner for everybody when the special news report on Shinja city came on. "Just what is going on in this world?"
"Hey Marissa have you seen Shawn or Chad around?" Serena said as she rounded the corner into the kitchen. Once again she was thinking more with her stomach than she was with her brain.
"No not in a while." Marissa answered back while peeling a carrot.
"What's going on on t.v? That a movie?" Serena asked stepping into to kitchen. She over heard the reporter mention "Shinja city" and she was wondering if it was about what she thought it was about. Just as soon as Marissa was about to give her answer Rei, Lita, Mina and the others rounded the corner to see where Serena had vanished to in their quest for Shawn and Chad.
"Actually it's a news report about some aliens in Shinja city. Apparently two spaceships landed and now an army is over there fighting with them."
Everyone caught that.
"Really." Lita mumbled glancing at the t.v.
"Aliens?" Serena said getting a better look.
"Yeah it's just the strangest thing."
"Well you really don't seem to be the least bit concerned." jokes Darien with Luna and Artemis trotting behind him.
"That's just because this is just another every day attack. Those aren't really aliens everyone knows people from other planets don't exist."
The girls couldn't help but to look at each other.
"How long has this been going on?" Rei asks.
"Oh not too long now, it actually just star....oh the potatos!" Marissa quickly ran to the stove to check on the food leaving everyone gathered around the t.v.
"So that's them?" Serena whispered.
"That would be them." Rei answered taking a sigh.
"So that's them?" Serena whispered.
"That would be them." Rei answered taking a sigh.
"I thought there were just five of them, not two ships full of them and a whole army." Serena grumbled.
"This really is a bind." Luna said making sure to keep her voice down so Marissa wouldn't hear.
"Man this really changes everything." Lita said.
"We're going to have to come up with something, and fast." Artemis said.
"Well how are we going to take out a whole army? We've never faced anything like this before."
"I don't know Serena, but whatever we do we're going to have to do it fast. That army isn't going to last very long." answered Luna.
----------
The main ship rocked from one of the impacts and the Assassins tried to keep their balance.
"This is stupid, why doesn't Frost order for the shields to be raised?" Bronx asked holding on to the wall he was standing against.
"Why? You scared?" Angel said making fun.
"No! We're sitting ducks like this, we're vunerable to their attacks."
"The way I understood it was that Frost doesn't think their weapons will have that much affect on us. From what the saiyan reports read this planet was suppose to be primative, a class E1." said Mouth.
"Yeah well if you ask me that report is outdated. Their weapons seem to be working fine against the L.A. C.Ss."
"Oh will you quit complaing already. Damn you're such a crybaby." Angel commented rolling her eyes.
Both her and Bronx we always constantly bickering with each other like two kids.
"Shut up!" Bronx snapped back.
"Quiet you two." Levi grumbled from where he was standing. "This little squirmish is pointless. Even if their army is able to overcome ours that still doesn't mean we'll be destroyed. Frost just sent them out there as entertainment. You know he never cared for the infintry so he could care less is they all die or not."
"Yeah you're right." Bronx mumbled looking back out.
----------
"I've been hit!" Yamaguchi shouts out before his body gets consumed in the flames of his helicopter. Ibuki watches as the helicopter crashes into the ground below, sending a surging Channel into the sky.
"Try to get around him!" Ibuki shouts to the remaining four men.
"His ship is too fast to attack with these helicopters." Tanaka reports trying to dodge Channel's laser fire. The lasers rip through the metal tearing pieces of the chopper off as Tanaka tried to keep control. His efforts are useless when a laser tears through the cockpit instantly killing him.
"Damn him!" Sato yells out seeing his comrade's helicopter fall to the ground in a smokey heap.
"Come on now, where's the challenge?! You're making this too easy!" taunts Channel chasing Kai through the air.
"He's got me!" Kai shouts trying to avoide Channel's pursuit. But luckily he escapes death as a couple of missiles whizz by towards Channel.
"I'm getting you for Yamaguchi and Tanaka!" Sato shouts out charging directly towards the Ginyu member.
"You ain't going to get no one!" Channel shouts back. He unleashes a torrent of lasers towards Sato while at the same time he unleashes a barage of missiles. Multiple explosions light up the sky from the lasers and missiles colliding with each other.
"Oh shit!" Channel cries out.
Out from the smoke clouds a missile uneffected by Channel's shots continues on it's course for his mec. He tries to manuver to avoid it but it hits the side of his L.A.C.S leaving a trail of smoke trailing behind. At the same time a laser shot breaks free from the clouds and hits Sato's helicopter. He struggles to regain control and manages to land it on the battlefield below.
"Sato's down!" Kinjo reports.
"But at least he managed to cripple that fighter. Sato'll be alright, let's just focus on that fighter and put it down for good!" Ibuki says opening fire on Channel.
The bullets ricoche off his L.A.C.S and Channel cusses as a stray shot cracks the cockpit window.
"I'm begining to loose fuel, that bastard got me good with that missile." he mumbles zooming in and out of fire. Although he was loosing fuel and speed, Channel did not quit. He remained in the dogfight and gave Ibuki, Kinjo and Kai everything he had, and was amazed at how the three of them still remained in the battle. The scales were begining to be tipped in their favor however, and Channel's L.A.C.S began taking shots left and right. More smoke began pouring out from holes that were being ripped into by the bullets from the helicopters.
"He's almost down, just a couple more shots should do!" Kai reported trying to get a lock-on. He was trying to fire off some missiles to put an end to this.
"You're not getting rid of me that easily!" Channel commented back. He was able to loop around and fired off a couple rounds hitting Kai's helicopter and knocking it to the ground. However while he was busy with Kai, Ibuki and Kinjo managed to fire a small salvo of missiles towards the unexpected Fireball. By the time he noticed them comming it was too late. He was broadsided and his L.A.C.S burts into flames as it went diving down into the ground. It skidded and came to a halt, and inside Channel kept cussing up a storm as he watched the two remaining choppers fly above.
"Channel's down." Onyx reported from inside his L.A.C.S.
"Dusty, we got a man down."
"I saw it all, I got someone on it right now Electron!"
"I didn't expect the earth's army to be so persistant!" says Icer, piloting one of the mecs.
"Yeah, I guess they really want to get rid of us!" adds Fireball shooting down another one of Rikumaru's helicopters.
"Hey you two, keep an eye on what you're doing!" Electron shouts out at the two. Suddenly a canon blast hits his L.A.C.S sending it stumbling back.
"SON OF A BITCH!" he shouts trying to regain control.
"You okay Electron!?" asks Icer.
"Yeah, I'm going to make the bastard that shot me pay!"
He points his guns at the nearby tank and fires, destroying it.
"Damn, these Earthlings are better than we thought!" Erron states dodging another explosion.
"We're losing the androids pretty fast, guess we might need the help of Reeve's unit after all." Dusty said to himself looking around at the carnage unfolding around him. He turned on the communicator on his scouter and it wasn't long before he heard Reeve's voice on the other end.
"Let me guess, you need help huh?"
"Quit being a smartass and hurry up, these Earthlings aren't as much of a pushover as we originally thought. They pretty much know what they're doing, they've already destroyed a couple of our L.A.C.Ss and just about all the droids. We practically have no cover out here and at the rate this fire is going we don't have time to charge up to our maximums to take out this whole army in one blast!"
"Alright already, we're on our way!"
"Great. Over and out." Dusty said as he switched frequencies again. He was dodging around now as fast as he could trying to zip through the bullets and lasers from the opposing army. He managed to catch up with Erron before another explosion threw them to the ground.
"Hey Electron," Dusty said into his scouter as he got back to his feet. "Get ready for a charge, Reeve and his troops are going to lead the first wave, we'll follow them!"
"Alright then, let's finish this!" shouts Electron as he leads the charge towards the army. Dusty and his troops follow close behind.
"They're charging us!" Akira shouted watching the alien army advance.
Tetsuo's men watched as the alien machines led the way with Dusty's men behind. At the sound of the general's orders the men released a flurry of firepower towards the advancing army. The shots rang through the air and cut through what little combat androids were left. With the androids out of the picture and Dusty's men no longer having their energy sheilds to hide behind, they became easy targets. The projectiles tore through the flesh of the soldiers and the steel of the mecs and explosions lit up the ground as bodies from both sides hit the ground. Right as it looked as if Tetsuo's men would grasp victory from the cargo ship a swarm of vehicles came rushing out. Reeve's unit raced down the ramp on their motorcycle-like bikes, some with two wheels, while others had one.
"Alright, get ready to attack!" shouts Reeve, leading the charge. "Let's finish this battle and get on with the real work!"
But things seemed to be more and more surprising. Unknown to both Reeve and Dusty's units a small squadron of three jets flew through the smoke and cloud cover above unleashing a wave of missiles down at the advancing groups. Completely caught offguard by the surprise attack the men scattered desperatly trying to seek cover.
"Good. Azaka made it." Tetsuo said watching the jets circle around for another attack.
"General Tetsuo can take it from there now. Ureshima, Iwata, focus all attacks on ship 2!" Azaka instructed. The other men complied with the captains orders and released another wave of missiles this time at the cargo ship. Frost's men were practically caught in a crossfire now, on one side they had Tetsuo's army and on the other was Azaka's jets. As the jets circled around again for another run Dusty decided it was too late to stop and there was no turning back with Frost so the charge continued much to the surprise of Tetsuo's men. Tetsuo's men tried to fire back but now with Reeve's agillity unit to worry about they knew they had lost this fight. Akira and Ein tried to race back to one of the millitary jeeps to fall back along with the other men. They tried to avoid the attacks of Reeve's men, but others weren't so fortunate. Quickly the dead bodies of japanese soldiers began to litter the grounds as the bikers drew their close range weapons and hacked through the running and confused men.
----------
"It seems a small group of millitary jets have joined the fight now and are raining missiles down below. It's clear that something has happened and both sides of the army have gone into some sort of panic. I'm not quite sure what this could mean but rest assure our army will stick through this to the end." the reporter says. Amazingly the news helicopter had managed to still stay flying around the area without sustaining a single hit. The reporter kept his announcment going commentating over everything he was witnessing. In fact the whole crew was so infactuated with what was going on they almost crashed into another news helicopter that had arrived on the scene.
"Out of the way you jackels!" the reporter shouted. "We were here first!"
"They're losing." Ryan said still fixated to the t.v. "The millitary can't take anymore of this."
"I guess now is the time we step in isn't it Goku?" Cody asked looking at the saiyan. He knew exactly what Goku was planning and he was sure the others knew as well.
"Right." Goku said. "It's time. Is everyone ready for this?"
They all knew what had to be done, although they didn't want to fight again they had no choice. If they could distract Frost's men just long enough to get the millitary out of there then they could escape with the solar flare technique and begin their hunt for the balls. They just hoped they could get there in time before the whole millitary is wiped out and get out of there before any thing serious happens.
"Ready." Piccolo said.
"Let's do this." Yamcha said cracking his knuckles.
"Alright then, let's go."
"Goku I still don't want you to go."
Goku was on his way to the front door with the others behind him when Chichi called out to him. He turned around to see his wife standing there, she was near the brink of tears. Walking towards her he placed a hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her.
"I know. We'll be okay, we're just going to act as a distraction and get out of there as fast as we can. So try not to worry too much, okay?"
Chichi nodded and Goku gently guided her away by her shoulders to Ox king and gave a smile. "We'll be back before you know it."
Turning around to leave he was interrupted again this time by Zaria.
"Hey wait! Something's going on here."
"What is it?" Ryan asked looking at his sister. She was watching the t.v and noticed something wasn't right.
"Take a look at this. Who are these guys?"
"As you can see for yourselves, the battle is a fierce one. So far we've learned the alien vehicles can transform from walking jets to flying ones, but they were shown to be no match. These aliens can do all they want because this is one fight they won't win!" the reporter says as he continues to commentate on the battle below. The news helicopter had been flying around the battlefield trying to stay out of the line of fire and at the same time trying to get the best shots that they could. "Ladies and gentlemen, remember this day well, because this is the day when......"
Lowering his mic away from his face the reporter tries to get a better look at one of the ships. He noticed three figures climbing out from a hatch on top of one of the ships and to his surprise they seemed to be floating up in the air. Not only did he notice the unusual figures but the crew in the other news helicopter had seen them as well.
"Psst hey, we're on live here." the cameraman whispers trying to get the reporter's attention.
"What are those?" he asks.
"What are what?"
"Those things. Are, are those people?"
The camerman focuses the lense in the direction to pick up the three figures. "I don't know." he mumbles.
"Pilot, fly as close as you can to those ships. I want a better shot of those things."
"What!? You're crazy!"
"I'm with the pilot. I don't get paid enough for this kind of stuff!" the camera man adds.
"As reporters we need to get as much information as possible to the public!"
"Yeah but if we get any closer we'll get shot down. It's bad enough where we're at!"
As the pilot, camera man and the reporter argue over what to do, the figures fly right pass them. Out of the corner of their eyes they see one of the figures stopping right next to them. He indeed looked very much human, but the thing was, he had a tail. The pilot, camera man and reporter all get a nervous look as they watch the figure raise his hand.
"Who is that?" Chiaotzu asks watching the ordeal. "I don't remember him from eariler."
"Guys, is it me, or does he kinda look like a, like a..." Krillin said stuttering at the sight of the man.
"A saiyan." Gohan finished.
"Saiyan." Ryan grumbled. "You mean like Vegeta?"
"No way! More saiyans?!" Yamcha cried out in shock. "How?"
"No he can't be one, they were all suppose to have been wiped out by Frieza." Goku said studying the picture.
"Hold on here, what's he doing?" asks Yumi noticing the man's hand begining to glow.
"You don't think he's going to..." starts Alex.
"NO, DON'T!" Goku yells.
But as Goku yells at the t.v the figure fires a blast at the helicopter, destroying it. The t.v screen turns to static leaving the Z-warriors staring in disbelieve.
"Oh my god, those people." Yumi says putting her hands to her mouth.
"Man, that was cold." says Cody.
"Quick Piccolo, I need for you to lead the attack on the ships!" states Goku.
"Piccolo lead? What about you Goku?" asks Krillin, a little confused by Goku's statement.
"I'm going to Bulma's to get the dragon radar. I don't know if those guys were saiyans or not but I have a feeling they're finally starting to spread out to begin their search so I've got to stop them before they locate any of the dragonballs."
"Right Goku, I understand. We'll do our best!" says Piccolo. The others agree.
"Thanks you guys."
And with that Goku teleports using his instant transmission to Bulma's.
"Alright, let's go!" Piccolo shouts leading the charge. He and the others run outside and take off for the battlefield leaving Chichi and the Ox king behind.
"Goku, Gohan." Chichi mumbles to herself putting her hands together, "No matter how much I tell you not to fight, you fight anyways. All I can do now is wait and pray for the both of you to return safe."
