I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. A lot happened before I could type this chapter out, from postgraduate studies to a cyber stalker…mostly the cyber stalker thing. I was kind of scared to release this chapter because of it. I thought about blocking this person but that doesn't really prevent this person from creating another account and doing the same thing so there is really no point. So screw the stalker I'm releasing this chapter after much thought and using my spare time from studies.

Recap:
Zarbon's eyebrow rose; a little shocked by the boys threatening display.
"Then I am afraid I'll have to kill you and destroy this lovely planet."
Vegeta gritted his teeth and prepared his racing heart, "Bring it on."
Chapter 20
Vegeta couldn't hear Zarbon's reply to his somewhat unconvincing challenge, as his heart was pounding so hard and fast; reverberating in his ears. He didn't know if the adrenaline pumping through his veins was out of fear or excitement. Honestly, he was still feeling uneasy of himself…of his capabilities. Was there even such a thing as a Super Saiyan? Am I riding everything on a stupid silly myth? What if I can't beat him? What if I lose? Death flashed in his mind and those words echoed over and over in his head…WHAT IF I DIE? Suddenly, his body froze and filled with helplessness, as he watched Zarbon rush towards him.
"Vegeta!" Nappa yelled out, breaking him out of his soulless trance. His mentor had come out of nowhere and unexpectedly phased in front of him blocking Zarbon's punch. He slid Zarbon's hand to the side and tried to kick him, but Zarbon broke away and retreated a few steps back. Zarbon smirked and blew a stray strand of hair from his face. Vegeta blinked rapidly, why was Nappa here? Wasn't he supposed to be at Korin's for the senzu beans?
"Wake up Vegeta! Now is not the time to zone out or doubt yourself!" Nappa growled, almost as if he could read Vegeta's mind. "Wipe that stupid shocked look off your face too, it's unsuitable for the Saiyan prince, if you're worried about the beans, then they are right here." He patted the waistband of his spandex to show him the red pouch that was tied there, turning his head slightly towards Vegeta as not to lose sight of Zarbon. Vegeta cleared his mind, just like the times he had practiced meditating with Nappa in the time chamber, and took a fighting stance. Nappa had a small satisfied smile on his face and he phased behind Vegeta.
Zarbon laughed, "It seems like you're less super and more loser Vegeta…are you sure you wouldn't prefer coming nicely with me instead? You're no match for me, never mind Lord Fri-"
"Enough!" Vegeta spat, gritting his teeth, turning all his senses and attention towards Zarbon. "You don't have to worry about me green-face, I'll be just fine…can't say the same about you though."
A flash of anger spread across Zarbon's face, and a brief look of surprise, before he took a fighting stance too. Vegeta anticipated his first move, from the way that Zarbon had moved his body earlier on, he tried to punch him, grabbing his fist successfully and brought his knee up perfectly, to block Zarbon's knee. Zarbon smiled, "Not bad monkey, but how to you plan on blocking this."
Shit. Vegeta cursed, with the other hand Zarbon gathered KI and fired it at Vegeta at close range. However, Vegeta let go of Zarbon, and shocked him, by flicking the Ki blast away with the swat of his hand. The KI blast rocketed into an uninhabited space of land, blowing a huge crater into the ground. "You surprise me Vegeta."
Vegeta smirked at Zarbon's complement, feeling quite chuffed and more confident in himself.
A clicking sound of disapproval sounded from behind Zarbon and he turned to glare at his pink partner. "You disappoint me Zarbon, I would never have taken you as the type to provide such sweet words to a monkey…move aside girly, let me show you how a real man fights." Despite his words, Dodoria was shaken, he knew that Zarbon had put quite a bit into that blast that Vegeta had thrown so easily aside. Many beings on many planets had died from one of those blasts. It was strong enough to even have burnt Dodoria's arm once. But Vegeta was not flinching, he was cool and composed. Besides the fact that they may have underestimated Vegeta, he also wanted to finish this fight off quickly, before Vegeta could realize or use his full power. He also didn't want Zarbon taking the credit again and gaining more popularity in Lord Frieza's books. Zarbon knew what was running through that bald pink head and smirked. Might as well take this opportunity to let Dodoria tire Vegeta out, and then steal his kill from right under his nose. Zarbon phased behind Dodoria and shrugged his shoulders, "have it your way then."
"Hey no fair…this isn't a tag match!" Goku moaned from the side-lines, he moved forward to swop with Vegeta, but Nappa put a hand on his shoulder to stop him, "It'll be alright boy…Vegeta can handle these two clowns just fine."
"This way…come on! Don't dawdle! Move it!" Turles yelled at the top of his lungs, pointing at the huge cargo jet ship, Briefs had brought to fly people to safety. A blast of rock, fire and debris suddenly plumed up, from not too far from where they were; and the people of Kuiren screamed in horror. Turles gritted his teeth, sounds like things are getting started there, "Alright people that's your cue, please hurry into the damn ship!" Piccolo had managed to get the last few people on and Turles looked up at Raditz in the sky. "That's all of them in this area, I've circled five times now and there's no more signs of life. We can move on to the next area" Raditz yelled down at his brother. His brother nodded in return and gave the signal to Briefs to get those people to safe place. The engines of the Jet burned to life, and quickly blasted away into the distance. Raditz landed with a soft thud, looking towards the area where they saw KI blasts exploding. Turles clenched his fist, it shook in fury, "it should be us fighting out there, not them, they have too little fighting experience. Here we are herding people away like sheep when our baby brother could -"
"He'll be fine." Raditz assured him, "This is something that they need to do, and right now they need us to make sure that all these people are safe."
"You still have the dragon balls."
They both turned to see Piccolo walking towards them.
"Ah yes the magical dragon balls" Turles said sarcastically. Those stupid balls were more trouble than what they were worth. The lengths they had to go through just to get all seven. Not to mention that they could only offer one measly wish. But, it was their back up plan in case things went south. Nappa had told them to keep it a secret from Vegeta and Goku, he didn't want them to lose heart or courage in their abilities. More Vegeta than Goku, he had wished for him to unlock his powers naturally, but if push comes to shove the dragon would have to unlock it for him…or worse make him immortal. Turles rolled his eyes, sometimes he didn't get how Nappa thought, "why not use the damned things now and get it over and done with?"
"We can't," Piccolo spoke, "We still don't know what the outcome will be at the end of the day, if we use the wish, when Vegeta can unlock the power himself, then it's a wasted wish. If things turn out good, we could save the wish and restore the town of Kuiren, or any people that die in this fight."
Turles gulped, his throat suddenly felt dry, there it was again, that worry of death. Saiyan's weren't supposed to feel anything as it was a "weakness", but the time he spent on Earth made him and his family come to realize that it was the opposite. Feelings made one stronger. And right now, he was feeling worried to the pit of his stomach with fear of losing his family.
Dodoria screamed in pain, he could not believe that this was happening to him. It's not true! He can't be this strong! He just can't! No Saiyan should be this strong! The stupid Saiyan monkey had not only dodged some of his best attacks and deflected some of his best KI techniques, but he had also out smarted Dodoria and now had his hands, his ginormous spiked hands, stretched out painfully behind his back as the Saiyan prince exerted a little force downwards on them. Dodoria writhed in agony, his arms felt as though they would be ripped from their sockets.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH," Dodoria screamed, resisting the pain, tightening the muscles in his arms as he tried to drag them back to the front. Vegeta felt a surge of excitement shoot through his body. It was the feeling he got when he always fought against Nappa in the chamber. It was like his instincts had kicked in. He knew just how much pressure to put on Dodoria arms, to tease him and watch him squirm, without having to tear his arms off. He could pick up on the change in Dodoria's body as he tried to resist and pulled some more. His body was so in tune with his surroundings and the enemy in front of him. All through his fight with the big pink ball, he found that he could time his attacks just perfectly, dodge like he was walking in the park. Joy filled his chest, this fight was not only fun, but he could already predict the outcome of it. Dodoria was no match for him.
Vegeta chuckled, wanting to say something corny, that he had heard villains say in many movies, "Feel the wrath of the Saiyan prince," he bellowed out with evil laughter.
Goku bit his nails anxiously from the side-lines, "Oh man I think the pressure is getting to Vegeta, he's acting weird, quick Nappa do something, I think his brain is fried."
"Would you shut up dumb head…I'm just having fun." Vegeta retorted back.
"Did you just call me stupid? I beat you in the last math's test if you don't remember."
Vegeta blushed, "That's only because I wrote the answers on the question paper and forgot about the answer sheet."
Through the pain Dodoria's eyebrow twitched irritably. These brats, how dare they toy with me! He leaned forward shooting his leg out behind him to kick Vegeta, but Vegeta let go quickly and jumped away from the pink ball, as Dodoria rubbed his sore arms. Dodoria stepped back slowly, keeping his eyes on Vegeta as he did so. What should I do, I've thrown everything I have at him and nothing is working. Should he ask Zarbon for help? No! That gender confused bum will just humiliate me in front of Lord Frieza. He decided to take to the sky and analyze the situation. If he boldly rushed in then Vegeta would have the upper hand, surprise attacks wouldn't work either as the other Saiyans that were watching from the side-lines would warn Vegeta about it. Thus, he was left with two choices: go on his knees and beg for mercy, feeding Zarbon to Vegeta in his stead, or to gather all the power he had and shoot it at Vegeta. If he opted for option one and Zarbon did manage to defeat Vegeta, there was going to be a lot of tormenting and misery to follow. He'd rather chew on molten lava than have Zarbon rub victory in his face. He had to take a gamble, he gathered everything he had in his palms, the earth trembled at his increase in power. Vegeta starred nervously into the air, "Vegeta! You are stronger than he is, power up and you'll be able to deflect whatever he shoots at you into space!" Nappa yelled.
Vegeta followed his mentor's instructions, and he powered up too, shouting out to the heavens as he let his power sweep into his veins and every fibre of his body. Whereas, the earth trembled with Dodoria's power, the earth now shook violently with Vegeta's.
"Earthquake!" Goku yelled out stupidly and ducked down, before realizing his mistake and grinned sheepishly. Nappa cleared his throat uncomfortably, before turning his attention back to what was happening in front of him. Dodoria sent a massive KI wave blasting towards Vegeta, Vegeta braced himself catching the KI blast in his hands. The veins on his arms popped out prominently, as did his muscles. The force of the KI wave was strong and sent him sliding across the hard ground, lifting chunks of earth up into the air. When Vegeta found his footing, he pushed the KI wave back accidently aiming it back at Dodoria instead of space. "Oh shit, WATCH OUT!" he screamed, trying to warn Dodoria, but he was too late. The KI blast disintegrated the pink man, that not even a single ash could be seen. Vegeta sank to his knees, he hadn't meant to kill him, heck he'd never taken a life before…if bugs and cockroaches didn't count. His hands were shaking and he felt bile rise in his throat, before yacking it out. Zarbon stood there mouth almost dragging the floor and he glared up to where his partner was supposed to be. He started to shake, this wasn't possible, how was Vegeta this strong? Suddenly Zarbon started to believe in the Super Saiyan myth and he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood. He had to transform, or else he would not survive, he looked left and right to see that the attention was all on Vegeta and that gave him time to quickly gather energy for his transformation.
Nappa phased in front of Vegeta, tapping him on the back as his adopted son gasped in and out, "He was evil Vegeta, had you not killed him, he would've killed you and all of us along with it." Nappa's words snapped him out of it and he realized that it was true, that KI blast would've killed all of them if he had not deflected it. "Zarbon. Dodoria, Frieza, none of their lives should make you feel guilty about anything, but proud that you've wiped evil from the universe and saved it from their tyranny." Vegeta nodded his head wiping the left-over drool from his lips on his glove, just in time before they felt Zarbon's energy increase. They turned their heads so fast into Zarbon's direction that they almost had whiplash. Vegeta gasped at what he saw, the green man had suddenly become hideous, almost resembling a two-legged, talking crocodile. Not only that but his power level had jumped tremendously, that it made Dodoria's look like an ant's.
"Hey Vegetable breath, let's just see how tough you are now," Zarbon laughed launching suddenly towards Vegeta. Vegeta pushed Nappa out of the way, phasing as quickly as he could just as Nappa had thought him, behind Zarbon. But he was not quick enough as Zarbon phased with him grabbing his hand and taking to the air for a sky battle, he tossed Vegeta up and sent a KI blast at him. Vegeta spun hi body in the air, controlling himself before gathering KI in his own hand to deflect Zarbon's; breaking the purple KI up into a shower of tiny ones; rocketing back down.
Zarbon gave him no break and launched at him again with a steel fist, Vegeta just barely dodged him, falling to the ground, he grabbed a fist full of sand and phased back up in the air; as Zarbon tried to punch him on the ground. When Zarbon flew after him, he released the sand from his hands as a strategy to slow Zarbon down. The sand flew directly into Zarbon's eyes and he growled out painfully, trying to wipe the sand out. Vegeta quickly took this short moment to phase behind Zarbon and slammed his fist into his back, breaking a hole in Zarbon's armour and bruising his back badly. He then phased again on top of Zarbon to clobber him into the ground with both of his fists joined together. He barraged him with KI blasts, to which Zarbon dodged flying close to Vegeta for close combat. They traded fists and kicks at lightning speed, but dodged and blocked them too. Before breaking up and landing separately on the ground. They both panted heavily, and Vegeta felt his body begin to tire. He needed a break, especially since this was his first real fight and they were both out for blood.
"Hey Vegeta, give me a chance! It's my turn!" Goku said as if he could mind-read, he waved his hands foolishly into the air from the side-lines to get Vegeta's attention. Vegeta smirked, if they wanted to win this battle against Frieza, Goku needed experience too. He nodded and quickly phased to the side-lines pushing Goku gently forward. Goku grinned excitedly and bounded forward like a happy dog towards Zarbon. Zarbon grit his teeth and spat, "Fine I'll take out this Monkey first and then the rest of you!" and then he powered up some more, his muscle mass expanding before he rushed towards Goku. Goku grinned, ducking his body down and his leg up to kick Zarbon into the air, before phasing on top and sent a medium Kamehameha wave towards him. Zarbon screeched in surprise and brought his arms up to protect himself. There was dust and debris everywhere, and a big black cloud of smoke where the Kamehameha had connected to Zarbon. Goku landed delicately of his feet and rubbed his nose with his forefinger in glee.
"Oi shit for brains! You held back your power with that Kamehameha wave, right?" Vegeta yelled.
"Well yeah…" Goku pouted, scratching his head.
"Stop holding back like I did with Dodoria, Kakarot! You heard what Nappa said, we have to kill them for the universe's sake!"
Goku frowned, he had heard that, but it still never sat right with him, how could he suddenly just end a life? Whilst he was contemplating, the smoke cleared to reveal a very injured Zarbon with his hands still up in front of him. THOSE DAMNED SAIYANS, I'LL KILL YOU ALL! He tried to power up, but coughed up blood instead, holding his injured side in anger.
Goku took pity on him, "Leave this planet while you still can and go do some good with your life instead."
Zarbon laughed at the boy's naivety and growled, "Even if I leave do you think I would not want to kill for power? Do you think Frieza would leave you Saiyans be if I went? Hell No! As we speak he must have sent THEM here, as his backup plan…he always does, for tough missions and stubborn planets."
"Them?" Goku cocked his head to the side confusingly.
"The Ginyu Force," Zarbon coughed out, "They are ten times more powerful than me or any of you, and this time you don't have to deal with just two of us, but five!"
"We will take care of the Guinea pig force when they arrive," Goku said proudly.
Zarbon laughed again, just how stupid were these Saiyans? "I doubt you would, not when you go up against the captain, he is almost as strong as Lord Fri-"
The was a deafening sound of powerful KI whizzing through the air, before bulleting straight through Zarbon's heart. Everybody gasped in horror and turned to the source, in fright, as Zarbon's lifeless body dropped to the cold ground. Vegeta's fist tightened in fear as he saw five shadows in the distances, all with scouters on their face. The Saiyans took a defensive stance, as one of the shadows speak, "You're pitiful Zarbon, singing like a canary, after you've had your ass handed to you by some lower life monkeys."
Nappa swallowed hard, as if his throat was sandpaper. How had they not sense their presence? Why had they not picked up on their arrival on Briefs radar! Dammit, you old fart, you said that they would only arrive tomorrow! The Ginyu force. Those five faces were ingrained so deeply into the memory of many Saiyans. For the fear that they instilled in them with their power levels, the torment and humiliation that they had received by them, and of course for those ridiculously stupid poses that they always made.
"HAHA, I love the look of surprise on faces just as much as the look of fear!" Captain Ginyu bellowed out heartedly, slapping his thigh, he smirked at Nappa, "Surely you should know that Lord Frieza has brains to go with his brawn, by now Nappa. Of course, you're wondering what we are doing here so quickly, unfortunately for you, technology has advanced and evolved, although the same cannot be said for this back-water planet or you filthy Saiyans. So, unlike all those other times when we always came a day or few after Zarbon and Dodoria, we can now come hours after or if we really push it then minutes, by harnessing the power of black holes." Captain Ginyu finished off with a triumphant pose. Nappa felt himself pale, if what Captain Ginyu said was true then that meant…oh no…Frieza would be here sooner than expected too. Nappa had wanted to give the kids a break after defeating the pink Tweedledee and braided Tweedledum. A nice shower, maybe even give some pointers on what they had done wrong in their fight, and a good night's rest; before they gathered here again the next morning for the next fight. But Frieza wasn't going to let them, clearly, he wasn't taking any chances. Frieza was probably scared and had a feeling that the boy would have defeated his lapdog duo, thus he had gone to such lengths to ensure his victory. Nappa gritted his teeth, that bastard! Damn him! Vegeta was tired already, the other Saiyans were still helping to clear the villages, and Dende wasn't here to heal them either (they had told him to arrive the next day, thinking that they would only need his help then). Nappa gripped the pouch at his waist, they could only rely on the Senzu beans for now.
Captain Ginyu tapped the side of his scouter waiting for a reading. Nappa almost laughed, those machines were useless all thanks to Piccolo teaching them how to detect KI and power levels, as well as, hide their own. He had told the boys about the scouters, beforehand, and they both knew what they had to do. They immediately reigned in their powers and the scouter on Captain Ginyu's face beeped. He scoffed, "Puh what puny power levels, just good enough to wipe Zarbon out, but not good enough to handle us." He turned his back towards them and waved his hand in the air, "ok boys, take care of them, and bring Vegeta back alive to me, when you're done having fun." With that he leapt into the sky and flew towards their spaceship, once inside, he yawned and lay down on the bunk for a quick nap.
Good that's one guy out of the way for now, it gives us room to deal with the rest, Nappa thought. There was four of them and only three Saiyans. But Nappa is suddenly popped from his thoughts when the Ginyu force suddenly decides to play rock-paper-scissors.
"Whoever wins," said Jeice," gets to fight first." The team nodded their heads in agreement and played their hands. Recoome ends up winning the game and moved forward happily, pumping his fists in the air; shouting out his own name enthusiastically.
"Recoome wait!" a short, round, green alien called out to him; as he jogged up to him, panting and out of breath by the time he reached Recoome. Vegeta raised an eyebrow, wondering just how this alien, who was no taller than his knee cap and had four eyes, was a member of the dreaded Ginyu Force. "Let me fight them Recoome. I am, after all, the weakest member of the team. There is no need for you guys to break a sweat with these guys. Just leave everything up to me."
The tall, muscular, orange haired humanoid blinked his beady eyes and then broke into a toothy grin, "ah ok Guldo, you can take them on." Recoome walked back towards his teammates and let Guldo take his place.
Guldo had a serious inferiority complex; maybe beating the Saiyans was just the thing he needed to boost his self-esteem. He grinned, thinking of all the rewards his captain would give him for this feat. Vegeta was finding it hard to take this seriously, he looked down at the tiny alien and then to the side at Goku. Goku looked back at him and shrugged his shoulders, taking up a fighting stance. Vegeta rolled his eyes, sighing and followed suit. Goku made the first move charging forward at Guldo, surprising him with his speed and strength, when his fist made contact with Guldo's large green face.
A small screech emitted from Guldo's mouth, as the force of Goku's fist rocketed him into a nearby boulder. "So weak," Goku gasped, looking at the alien crunched up in the boulder. He didn't think he had put so much power behind his punch to have sent Guldo flying the way he did. Guldo was fuming, he peeled himself from the boulder and yelled out in fury, "I AM NOT WEAK, YOU POMPOUS BABOON!" With clenched fists, he sucked in a bunch of air and held his breath. Time slowed down. With everything frozen in place, Guldo rushed behind Goku, sending a Ki blast towards him, before he needed to inhale again for more air. Letting the breath that he'd been holding go, everything started to move again and Goku's smacked in the head with the Ki blast.
"Ow! Mother! Father! Son of a goose!" Goku yelled out in pain, holding his stinging head. Guldo cracked out in laughter, "Who is weak now, Saiyan?"
Vegeta could not believe his eyes, was it him or was this green alien incredibly fast?
"Don't let your eyes deceive you! Guldo can freez-" Nappa was cut off, when his body suddenly tightened and his mouth clamped shut. Guldo had used his telekinesis to shut Nappa up, before he could reveal his secret to his two unknowing prey.
"Nappa?" Vegeta was so confused, just what is going on? Guldo was sonic the hedgehog all of a sudden and Nappa looked as if his mouth was glued shut. He tried to think about what was going on, as he watched in awe. Guldo, armed with Ki blasts, kept popping out of thin air behind Goku all the time. He glanced in frustration at Nappa as well who kept wincing and twitching. It was obvious to him that Guldo had done something to Nappa, to keep him still and silent like that…but what exactly? THINK VEGETA THINK! Finally an epiphany hits him as he recalls Nappa's last few words. "Guldo can freez-"…Freeze time! But was Guldo's power really that simple? Vegeta's head snapped back to the scene in front of him, and noticed Guldo taking in breaths every time he disappeared. This could only mean-
"Kakarot! Stop that ugly thing from holding its breath!"
"Huh?" Goku asked confusingly as he saw Guldo disappear again and tried to turn to stop the blast again, but he was too slow. He was beginning to get a headache, and he was pretty sure his hair was burnt.
"Guldo can freeze time by holding his breath Kakarot! Stop him!" Vegeta rushed forward to try and catch the green alien; they ran around phasing in and out, right at his tail as they tried to grab hold of him. It was because of this that Guldo could not freeze time. He began to tire. Guldo's lungs burned and he could feel his stamina decrease. I know I should've joined that Ginyu fitness club last year, but noooo, I had to go on that stupid chiliburger diet! Guldo thought; sweat pouring down his face. Well if he couldn't freeze time than perhaps he could resort to his telekinetic powers. He turned around mid-air and held his hands out; purple rings resonated from his palms towards the boys. Vegeta felt his body stiffen, Goku too. Guldo smirked using his other hand to uproot a nearby tree and moulded it so that the top had become extremely sharp. He aligned the boys and hovered the tree in front of them preparing to impale them both with one swoop…when his vision unexpectedly paled. The next thing he knew, he was looking at his headless body from the ground.
"I…it can't be." His head gasped out, before life left him and his body crashed to the floor.
"Hmph…stupid toad." Raditz huffed out; raising his finger, letting a beam of energy blast into Guldo's severed head, disintegrating it. Turles landed behind Raditz, walking over towards the young Saiyans to see if they were okay; as Goku kept muttering about heads rolling from bodies, and how he thought that he was going to be sick. Bardock phased behind Nappa to catch him, as he fell, from the aftershock of his body being stiff for so long.
"Damn pins and needles!" Nappa flexed his hands and legs slowly, trying to stand up, with Bardock's support. "Where's Piccolo?" he asked.
"Piccolo sensed the Ginyu's arrival and left to fetch Dende," Raditz said keeping his strong gaze on the rest of the Ginyu force. The members stared in disbelief at Guldo's decapitated body.
"Do you know what you filthy monkeys have done!?" Jeice screamed grabbing hold of his silver hair.
Raditz shrugged his shoulders, "Got rid of a nuisance and made the universe a better place?"
"NO YOU APE! Now our poses will be off balance and look stupid!"
"News flash red man, they've always looked stupid!"
"Why you!" Jeice wanted to charge towards Raditz but, Recoome held his hand to the side to block him. "Duh…now don't you worry Jeice, I'll take care of these guys." The big oaf pumped his arms, "My name is Recoome, it rhymes with doom, and you'll be hurting soon! I really am a man of many talents."
Raditz rolled his eyes and Turles snorted, "You last line doesn't rhyme with the rest there, big guy."
Recoome didn't seem too bothered by Turles's comment and merely flipped him the bird, "Duh…puny power levels."
During all of this Nappa had taken Vegeta and Goku to the side and told them to recuperate. If Frieza was closer than they thought, then they needed Vegeta well and rested. Nappa pulled the pouch from his waist, handing it to Bardock, telling him to hang on to it and give Vegeta and Goku one each.
"We'll handle the rest of these bozo's. Leave it up to us." Nappa stood in front of Raditz and pointed at Recoome, "You're mine, come at me giant." Recoome and Nappa clashed, like David vs. Goliath, whilst Raditz and Turles took on Jeice and Burter.
Burter was a speedy bastard and although Raditz had improved by leaps and bounds, it still wasn't that easy to keep at Burter's heels.
"I see that you have gotten a bit better Raditz. It's a shame that you will never rise enough to my power. I'm the fastest thing in the universe!" He kicked Radtz in the gut sending him spiralling down into the side of a mountain. Raditz felt pain claw at his gut, it was as if his stomach had been torn through. He coughed out blood, and then wiped it away with the back of his hand; grimacing as he pulled himself back up. "You are weak boy, just like your pathetic father." Burter smirked down at him. Raditz grit his teeth so hard that it could bite though titanium, memories of his father's past beatings and continuous insults from Burter, echoed through his mind. "I'll kill you!" Raditz spat out in anger, powering up to his max. Burter's scouter had been destroyed earlier, whilst they were butting heads in their test of speed; so Burter had no way of knowing how close his death was. "I always thought that you monkeys were too cocky for your own good. Looks like those egos are finally going to be the end of you all!" Burter, too, powered up and flew at Raditz with his elbow out. However, Raditz caught his elbow with one hand and did a helicopter kick to Burter's legs, tripping the tall blue alien backwards. Burter did a somersault, landing on his hands and then twirled back to an upright position, to make his next attack. But Raditz sent a wave of Ki from his Body, rocketing Burter backwards. Burter grunted and steadied himself, with much force, in the air. Sweat began to pool at his lips and forehead. There's no way Raditz could be this strong…it's not possible. From mid-air, Burter gather energy at his palms and shot it towards Raditz, but Raditz deflected it back with his hand and Burter almost never dodged it. He watched as his own deadly Ki blast flew on behind him and when he brought his face back to the front, he had noticed that Raditz was gone.
"Hey were did he go?"
"Right here slow poke." Raditz suddenly came from behind him and elbowed him in the neck, breaking Burter's spinal cord and crushing his windpipe. The blue alien grabbed at his neck as he gasped for air, but it was too late. His vision blacken and his corpse fell to the floor. Raditz celebrated his victory by spitting on Burter's dead face, powered down, and walked back to where his family stood; holding his stomach in excruciating pain. I think I'm bleeding internally.
Jeice looked at his hair in absolute disgust, his ends where scorched from a Ki Blast that Turles had lobbed at him. "Oh, this is great! You know how long it's gonna take ta wash all this blooming dust outta ma hair?" He growled at Turles. Turles shrugged his shoulders and snickered, "I'm afraid you won't get a chance to wash anything after I'm done with you. Because you'll be six feet under, in all the dust you could ever imagine."
"I'm sick of your games, we are the Gin-" Turles punched Jeice in the face not bothering to hear him finish his sentence and not bothering to stop pummelling him even after Jeice screamed in pain. Jeice managed to block a few of the hits and scrambled away to a safe distance where he shot a barrage of powerful red Ki blasts at Turles. Turles dodged them with swift and chased after Jeice. They traded blows and trash talk as they ascended higher into the sky. Jeice's speed managed to get the upper hand and Turles took some nasty blows to the head in addition to his arms, as he had those held up in front of him to block. One of the punches Jeice gave, was so devastating that it cracked Turles's Ulna and Radius bones in both forearms. Moreover, his nose was broken. Licking the blood dripping onto his upper lip, Turles broke out in laughter. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy killing you."
"Oh sure! One look at your power level mate and that tells me all I need ta know, about who's gonna killing who."
Turles snickered, "You know, I'm more powerful than you think, why don't you have a second look at your scouter."
"Alright have it your way then," Jeice pressed the button on the side of his scouter as Turles began to power up. The reading that flashed across his eye, had Jeice trembling.
"B…Bu…But it can't be!" he gasped out.
"Oh, but it is!"
"Shut up you bastard!" Jeice mass fired hundreds of his best Ki blasts at Turles. Red Ki and smoke clouds, encompassed Turles's body. But Turles merely cut through it, like a knife cutting through butter and punched Jeice hard in the face; despite Turles's cracked forearms. Ignoring the pain, he karate chopped Jeice in the ribs, breaking through his armour. Jeice coughed out blood and begged Turles to spare his life. But instead he was met with a giant Ki blast that enveloped him, disintegrating his every cell into oblivion. When the blast cleared, Turles arms fell to his sides, as if they were made of lead and he swore like no tomorrow; when immeasurable pain shot up his arms.
Nappa couldn't open one eye, and blood drop from his head. He was sure he had a broken rib, but he could not allow himself to dwell on the pain. He had to meditate his mind and concentrate on his opponent. Recoome was a beast, that could plough out mountains for days and not break a sweat. Here Nappa was, dead tired, thirsty and sore everywhere; and there his opponent was beaten and bloodied, but standing upright. A huge grin plastered to the orange haired humanoid as if he was having the time of his life. Recoome suddenly took in a deep breath and began posing crazily to pump himself up. "Duh…ok now you die Nappa!" He dusted his hands on his torn spandex and bent down, gathering all his Ki into his mouth. Nappa cursed and quickly began doing the same thing, gathering all his left-over Ki into his mouth to counter Recoome. Together they let the beams loose, and when yellow met purple a huge explosion erupted; creating a massive crater in its wake. When the dust cleared, it had seemed as though Nappa would lose, his energy was almost gone. However, it appeared as though the goddess was shining favour down upon him, because it was at that moment that Recoome seemed distracted. Scratch that…he was distraught. Recoome had finally noticed Burter's lifeless corpse laying on the ground in a distance and it took him a second later to realise that Jeice was gone too. Tears gather in the humanoid's eyes as he mourned his comrades. Nappa took that spilt second of a chance, when Recoome's guard was down, to bring him to his knees; with a powerful punch to the gut. Recoome doubled over, puking out spit and blood in pain. With his defences fully lowered, Nappa finished it off with once last, close ranged, Ki blast. Recoome. too, disintegrated into thin air.
"The best poser gets a candy," Captain Ginyu mumbled in his sleep, "Ah what…Huh?" Captain Ginyu looked about his room and rubbed his tired eyes. "What time is it?" he rasped, putting his scouter over his face. That was odd, he had been asleep for over 2 hours, surely the boys should've been back with Vegeta by now? Something was not right, he tapped his scouter to try and contact them, but to no avail. Fear pinpricked down his back and he quickly looked for their power readings on his scouter. But nothing showed up. This can't be! Deep in his gut he knew…he knew that his precious Ginyu Force was no more. His anger began to fuel his body, pouring into every pore. As his power level skyrocketed, he burst out the spaceship and made his way back to the battlefield. I'LL KILL THEM ALL!
