Chapter 35

A/N: Well, here we go! I've been really excited to reveal some things in this chapter! Krillin and Tien's fight will kick start as well, and we also have the first appearances of some new characters somewhere out in space! Why must I keep making more plot branches and new OCs? Well, a couple aren't completely new… they've only been mentioned repeatedly if you catch my drift.

You probably don't. No problem, you will lol, this is the most eventful chapter since Appule and Frieza duke'd it out! So I hope you all enjoy! Cause this one is awesome in both the action and some HUGE plotting twists :D Don't I love those? Enjoy everyone!

PS: Shiny Shiza, remember how I promised to get your two characters in the story? It took me 35 chapters, but it's FINALLY been done!

POV - Appule

I materialized right beside Piccolo, bringing two pairs of eyes and one pair of abiotic optics' attention to my sudden presence. "Instant Transmission, never let it escape your mind, never know how handy it can be." I stated cockily, believing that the android before me would submit to our might.

"Thank god you're here, this thing is tough," Evak inputted.

"Appule, so nice to see you again," Chimed the sarcastic android.

Again?

"Again?" Piccolo and Evak simultaneously blurted, as if reading my mind.

The android laughed. "What, did I stutter?" He repeated, laughing once more.

My face wrinkled up a little, I didn't like this one, he was hiding something, and usually when people hide things it's either dangerous or they need to stall for time. Whichever of the two this android was going for, I for one, didn't care. He needs to be vanquished, simple as that.

Before I made a move however, a large group of figures appeared before us, Vesaun, Vasile, Kershall, Massa, Yucanas, Barasi, the Arbiter and Tyceon, a real Genocilian party.

"It took you that long to Instant transmit Tyceon, really?" I mocked. Whatever the hell took them so long…

The android had remained calm, until now. Now he looked rather uneasy, and a bit worried. And that, surprised me, because I had no idea androids could possibly have feelings or expressions.

Interesting, I wonder what other features about them appear to be so... organic.

POV - Mystery Spectator

I grunted aloud as I sensed several power levels suddenly appear at Stargazer's location. Damn it, that's actually enough manpower and firepower to potentially kill Stargazer, I'll have to intervene and use the warp drive.

My thoughts were broken as a figure flew at me, seemingly out of nowhere and clashed into me, sending me into the ocean. I floated back to the shore and stood upright, only to be greeted by the same figure in front of me, with an energy ball primed in his hand, ready to go.

I chuckled at the misguided Genocilian. "Stand down…Annex."

"Or what?"

"Or I'll be forced to make you,"

"I doubt you can back up your bark, I'm stronger than Frieza's right hand men, what makes a guy like you think you stand a chance?"

I brushed the comment aside. "Frieza never was very good at managing his so called elites, his best soldiers were always so weak," I said in a dreary tone, in an attempt to share my disgust for my brother's pathetic faults.

"Stronger than Ginyu?"

I laughed. "That weakling, I almost forgot about him!" It was true… so much had happened throughout the years I had almost completely forgot about the pose showboating dipshit.

He slipped into the fighting stance. I chuckled before merely blowing air, emitting energy from it to strengthen the winds, which eventually became like a hurricane as it swept Annex aside. Didn't even need to lift a finger, pathetic.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to," I announced and flew by him, leaving the stunned warrior laying on the ground in silence.

If only he had a clue who I really am, Hahahahe!

POV - Krillin

The crowd was roaring in delight. After the awkward wait they were forced to endure as we were worried about the situation going on outside the tournament, the expectations must have been pretty low for the fight in regards to quality.

We sure were showing them!

"DODON RAY!" Tien screamed as he tried to nail me with one of his oldest moves, only for it to sail through my afterimage, giving me the opening to slip in and give a devastating kick to his solar plexus.

He cringed at the hit, but wasted no time countering with a knife hander that felt like it had split through my chin. The hit actually forced me involuntarily spin in the same direction it had came from, thanks to some quick thinking on my part, I used the momentum his attack supplied me with, and kept spinning until I had spun all the way around to face Tien once more. To face Tien with a fierce roundhouse, that is.

The impact hurled him spinning away and I was quick with the pursuit. Flying over him, I got into a good position and got him with the two handed hammer, he yelped in pain and crashed into the arena.

I've gotta keep this up.

POV - Appule

"All right, enough games android, you will tell me what you meant earlier, or suffer the price of hiding things from us," I said rather arrogantly. Damn you Vegeta. I inwardly cursed.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," The android bullshitted.

"You said you're meeting me again, but I am quite sure that I would remember such an occasion, take my advice and spill what you're hiding, this is your last warning, before I stamp your ticket to the scrap heap," My god he just won't let me be patient at all, will he? I thought, once again analyzing my own personality.

"He's Scanlon all right, there's no doubt," Vesaun said, verifying my suspicion. Of course, there was still the matter that I had supposedly met this thing before. No, there's no way I met him before… that one would ring a bell. I continued to convince myself.

"Times up," I said calmly, but didn't move.

The others looked on, wondering what I was waiting for. The android's glowing optics remained on my form, but eventually drifted off to one of the Genocilians. Now!

With no warning, I used Instant-Transmission to appear right front of him and mercilessly plowed my fist into his metallic chest, to my surprise; I was unable to penetrate the material that guarded his inner circuitry. Distracted by that thought, I was late to react to its counter attack. It 'hide' its right hand, and fired an energy wave strong enough to blow me out of the reach. I was quick to recover and slip into a fighting stance.

"Hey, I thought these things were supposed to be weak!" I yelled, mostly at the Genocilians. From what I had been told, when they were defending their home world, only one of these stupid machines was anything to be scared of. The one that disposed of Vesaun, Barasi, Annex and Massa all in one go, and from what they described, it was effortless.

Of course, on the contraire, I am many, many times stronger than they were at the time. None of these Scanalonions should be able to touch me. I had previously believed.

The android had remained in place, and silent since the brief "battle," and I had foolishly allowed him to stall for more time. What the hell is this metal prick hiding!?

Getting a bit irritated, I flew in and engaged him yet again. He reformed his right hand and we began exchanging blows in an all out brawl. I planted three nasty hits that would have completely dismantled any normal Scanalonion by itself, but it had little effect. The android managed to return the favor with four swift but heavy hits in different places across my body. Unfortunately for him, he's not the only one who can take a punch.

The fight seemed to be at a stalemate, but my opponent gained a momentum as he managed to catch my fist in midair and kick me in my wipe open stomach. My eyes widened at the force behind it. This is ridiculous, he's stronger than Frieza! I realized.

He backhanded me to the side, and I struggled to get back up. The noticed some sweat starting to form on some of our spectator's faces. Notably Piccolo and Evak, they had seen what I can do before, and they must be as surprised as I at how well the android was faring. If only they had a clue how strong he really is. I thought, subconsciously holding the area he kicked. That kick could kill Piccolo. I concluded.

"Come on Appule, go Super Saiyan and make this as interesting as last time," He laughed.

What the hell!? I gasped, Piccolo grunted in shock, and the others all muttered their own inaudible remarks.

"How do you know so much about him!? It doesn't make any sense!" Vesaun demanded.

He chuckled. "Please, I know your story too, Vesaun, Genocilian mercenary, eventually dies fighting Android 18."

An expression of confusion and murmurs filled the wasteland in which we stood upon. But one thing really stuck out. How can someone know which Scanlon android, in this case known as 18 apparently, is going to get a particular kill? How does he know that he won't be the one to kill Vesaun? Something is off with this guy…

While everyone was generally confused at the moment, Vesaun in particular was more on the cocky side. "Don't ever predict my death, those kinds of people have often been wrong in the past," The mercenary leader smirked.

"Hmpt… We're not discussing the past; we're discussing the future,"

"We'll see," Arbiter spat, appearing to be annoyed by all this mysterious chatter.

"Let us resume then,"

Personally, I had drifted into deep thought, there was a trail of hints being left by this android, but I couldn't put my finger on anything rational that would make any sense.

Those thoughts were terminated as I noticed at the last possible second; the android was flying straight at me! He closed the distance too quickly for me to even react when I noticed; his hand clamped a hold of my face tightly and wrecked havoc as he rammed me into a rock mountain, devastating it on impact.

He wasn't finished however, his hand still violently clamped my face and he raised his altitude before spinning four, five… six times before letting me go to crash land into the wasteland and form a nice fresh crater.

"Curses," I muttered.

Little did I know he still wasn't done yet, a moment after my "landing," a pair of mechanized knees slammed into shoulder blades, damaging my bone structure greatly. I screamed in pain like hell, I hadn't felt such pain since Frieza, and that had been some time ago now.

He hopped off and lectured me. "Tsk tsk, should've transformed when he had the opportunity,"

I managed to smirk a little, and flip him the bird. "This is what I think of you and your mouth, and as soon as I find the remote control, I'm hitting the mute button!"

He snorted. "Is that the best joke you can come up with? Do yourself a favor and stop relying on Vegeta's genes to be funny," He said, and mimicked an eye roll with his glowing optics.

A battle cry raged on and flew in from his flank, the android swerved to the side to avoid the attack, and quickly countered as he 'hide' one of his hands, and fired a quick energy burst that casted Evak aside as if he were nothing.

At least he had the courage to try.

Two more warriors soon followed, Vesaun and Yucanas charged in, but as they closed in on their target, the android disappeared. Afterimage, but where? I wondered, and tried to locate him before it was too late.

Vesaun and Yucanas stopped in their tracks. "Back to back," Vesaun commanded, and he complied. Yucanas formed medium size, bright golden energy balls and Vesaun chose to use his signature technique, the energy blades.

Evak got back onto his feet as well, and formed his own energy blade. I then finally struggled to my feet; there was no way these three were going to take this android on by their selves.

"He ran away?" Arbiter wondered aloud from nearby.

"Not quite!" Cackled a familiar voice, appearing out of nowhere with a vicious elbow strike to Vesaun's head, knocking him unconscious.

Yucanas didn't let the shock sink in, knowing it wouldn't be wise to waste any time gawking at our foe, he fired his attack. It turned out his move wasn't just a couple of typical energy balls, when he launched them, each divided in four and none hit their target… directly that is.

While none actually hit the android, they went in contact with the ground, a rock formation, or a tree, and as that happened, the contact split them up again, and suddenly, the environment in which they touched, deflected them on a collision course with the android. Suddenly, he found himself buried in small golden energy balls.

"Not bad," I commented.

As the smoke cleared, it was revealed that his attack just wasn't strong enough to inflict any damage to this threat, which didn't really shock me one bit.

"Is that all?" He arrogantly mocked, crossing his metallic arms.

Yucanas gulped and stepped backwards a couple paces. Evak wasn't looking so determined anymore, either.

No choice… I focused my energy, and flared my aura for a moment, attracting the attention of mostly everyone. To no one's disappointment, my aura shifted color into a golden shade, and the green spots across my body also took on the golden hue. My energy level skyrocketed to heights few could fathom, I was a Super Saiyan!

"I didn't really want to go this far," I said seriously.

"But I'm afraid no one else is having any effect on you, yet," I regretfully admitted.

POV - Cooler (No longer going to say mystery spectator)

I dispersed my aura and went right through the waterfall, and there it was. The time machine, fully capable of transporting two people to any year or era, with a nice bonus feature of the warp drive, which can transport the pilot and a passenger to any location on the planet, and… provided there is enough fuel, to nearby planets.

I took a moment to briefly feel out how the energy signatures were going. "Looks like Appule went Super Saiyan," I muttered. Too bad I can't sense Stargazer, oh well, there's no way Appule can defeat him.

I opened the glass door and stepped inside. Now I am only seconds away from the battlefield, hahahe.

POV - Analyss

I dropped to the ground hard as the disgusting plant like creature tackled me. I screamed and struggled to free myself from its seemingly unbreakable grip.

"You die now!" The red creature cackled manically.

"No!" Was all I could think of to say, god I hate sounding like such a coward. I realized just as the little red freak was going in for the kill, a battle cry rang through the air, and a foot came crashing into the creepy little devil and knocking it off of me. I rushed to my feet and took a couple paces back, fear winning me over.

The foreign creature stirred and attempted to stand. He would get no such chance. I watched as the little freak was blown to bits by a purple energy ball. Satisfied that the threat had been dealt with, I now turned to my savior.

"Come on sis, you should be stronger than that," Steph teased.

"Shut up," I hissed. "Not everyone has a power level over eight thousand,"

"Fair enough," the purple skinned warrior admitted. He was my brother, one of them, at least. He was about the same height as our older brother, Appule. But unlike Appule, he had a pattern of dark red spots and his head may have been a little longer. His build was slightly slimmer than Appule's, but it seemed like every time I saw him, he reminded me more and more of our long lost older brother, stuck working for the PTO under the tyrant Frieza. The same bastards had once came and slaughtered everyone in our city. I still had wondered how we were revived a week or two ago, and why Appule never tried to contact us anymore.

Then again, why would he think that we were alive? Surely he was aware we had been slaughtered by now…

Today, we were being invaded by a bunch of incredibly strong, plant freaks! So many things left unanswered.

"Sis?" He voiced. Apparently I spaced out while staring at him.

"Sorry, it's nothing," I discarded. "We need to get out of here," I suggested, eager to switch the subject back to the problem at hand.

"Right, I'll escort you to father, assuming we can find him," Steph decided, though not with much enthusiasm.

"Something wrong?"

"Yeah, we have to travel by foot, otherwise we won't have any cover and we'll have those things draped all over us," He explained.

"That doesn't sound too bad,"

"Don't you get it!? It's going to be a nightmare to navigate across the planet without a map, and finding father will become a nightmare!"

I had not considered this, but he was right, that could take a very long time, what if the rest of our family died because we were too late to help? "And if we take too long someone in our family could die again, damn it!"

Steph closed his eyes, solemnly fearing the same thing.

He sighed. "Let's go,"

POV - Tien

"HAAAA!" Krillin bellowed, firing the mid range Kamehameha wave.

I extended my arms out to block, if Mutumbo can do it, I can do it. I managed to deflect the wave off to the left, sending it toward the grassy area outside the ring, and used the moment while Krillin was still open, to slam into him with all of my body.

"Not today!" I mimicked, but instead of waving my finger at him, I followed up with a flurry of two fingered jabs, focusing on certain areas of the body before kicking him away as hard as I could, aiming out of bounds into the grass where the Kamehameha had burned through.

He regained control and made a U-turn right back at me. Our fight turned into an all out frenzy as we rapidly exchanged blows as if this were going to be our last fight ever.

The Lightning aura technique was keeping me at Krillin's level, but like Goku's earlier fight with the Kaio-ken, I was relying on it a little too much. The favorable thing for me is; the Lightning aura does not put much strain on the body, if any. So that would not be a problem, but there is also no way that I can use it for an entire fight, not at this pace.

The Lightning aura technique, unlike Kaio-ken, is not a strength multiplier; it is an addition of strength, how large of an addition depends on the fighter, and his limits and caliber. While I doubted that Nappa ever figured something like this out, I had spent most of my training in an attempt to increase the boost, and it was time well spent.

We each dropped back a little, and withdrew our hands; our eyes remained locked, keeping the intensity alive as both of us hyperventilated out of exhaustion.

"I'm- impressed, Tien," He complimented in between breathes.

"Likewise, King Kai's training- did you a lot of good," I replied, also in between breathes.

"This fight looks like it's going down to the wire, just like the previous fight!" The announcer pointed out, not that he needed to, but don't all commentators like their voice being heard?

"You ready to continue?" I offered.

"If you think you can handle it," He smirked, sounding a lot like Yamcha.

I phased out of sight at just as he finished the last syllable and got an open kick to the head to slip through his last second attempt to block.

It was followed by a knife hander to the neck, and my fist sailing into his stomach. Sailing as if it were caught up in a powerful whirlpool that is. This time, Krillin wasn't responding with a counter, instead, he was struggling to not throw up his breakfast.

I raised my hand up, in a show of a no mercy policy, sent him flying to the other side of the ring and nearly crashing into the stands, with an invisible burst of energy.

"And in a sudden turn, Tien Shinhan is taking control!" The announcer yelled, into the mic, his voice cracked and pierced through many of the audience's ears.

POV - Future Cooler (Okay, I've made it clear that he's from the future now… he was at the time machine lol… so… from now on we're going to correctly label and refer to him as Future Cooler)

The others came into my view as the warp completed the "trip." I immediately saw Appule face to face with Stargazer, using his Super Saiyan form.

Most of the Genocilians were off to the side, along with Piccolo. Evak and Yucanas were behind Appule, and someone was lying on the ground unconscious.

My abrupt appearance gathered the attention of everyone, and a opened up the glass door and hopped out.

"Stargazer, that's enough," I intervened.

"What are you, my mother?" He retorted.

"If that makes you feel better about yourself…" I replied, just to annoy my partner, who looked rather flustered.

"That voice…" Appule stated in a tone of uncertainty.

Damn it Appule, don't be too smart for your own good… While Stargazer and I were here to warn them about the Earth's upcoming threats of the future, I knew that there was no way they would trust me if they knew my true identity. After all, my partner is Stargazer, another of their enemies… why would they trust a word we said? Or even hear us out? Easy, they wouldn't. I knew.

"I'm afraid we haven't met," I lied. "You can drop the Super Saiyan form, we're not here to harm anyone," I assured.

"Haha…funny, it's as if you actually think I'm stupid enough to change back, then waste energy to transform again when you suddenly break your promise," He mocked, calling me out.

To his surprise, I reacted as if it didn't matter. "Fine, suit yourself, but I am aware that you would be more comfortable powering down, it's only the nature of transformations," Being an Arcosion, I was more than experienced in that matter.

"Enough, why are you here," Piccolo spoke up.

This would be easier if I didn't have to converse with warriors who were on Namek. I noted, still worried about protecting my identity.

"We're here with a few revelations, from the future," I responded.

My statement left them with various funny looks, some dumbstruck, as if considering the possibility of something like that, and the other eighty percent was refusal to believe. Stargazer's presence wasn't helping; it immediately aroused suspicions from the Genocilians.

"Impossible, time is within an unbreakable barrier!" Tyceon claimed.

The Arbiter gave his guardian a confused look; perhaps there was something Tyceon was hiding from the rest of them.

"Time traveling? Yeah right, what next, are you going to open a gate to the otherworld?" Yucanas voiced his skepticism, laughing at his pathetic joke.

"A Scanlon android went back into time, from the future, to warn us… about himself!? That's rich!" Massa barked.

I rolled my eyes at their incessant mockery, if only they had a clue! "SHUT UP!" I shouted, silencing them all.

Unfortunately, it also had a negative effect, Appule and Kershall each widened their eyes a little, and their facial expressions briefly changed. Damn it Frieza, even when you're dead you still find a way to screw me, don't you? You must've been so damn angry all the time back on Namek that I just nearly gave myself away! There's no way I can keep this up much longer, maybe Stargazer should do some of the talking.

"Tell them everything," I said, intentionally making my voice slightly deeper, just barely noticeable. The less I talk the better chance they don't associate ny voice with my brother's.

He grunted but agreed to. "Fine," He looked to the vast group of warriors. "It doesn't really matter if you trust us or not, in the end, you will still be attacked, by multiple threats,"

"Multiple?" Arbiter repeated.

"Yes, first, you will be attacking by King Cold and a group of his pathetic henchman, that is not much longer from now,"

They murmured some comments to each other, rather pointlessly, before allowing Stargazer to continue. "When they come, Arbiter tries to fight him first; he easily made a mockery of the Arcosion royal, until he transforms into his third form, that is,"

"Third? I can handle Frieza in his third form, how can this King Cold be that much stronger?" Piccolo challenged, seeming unconvinced.

"Frieza's final form, you know how powerful it is?" Stargazer asked rhetorically. "King Cold's second form matches it in strength, and he can transform two more times like Frieza, bringing him down took a lot of effort, I know… cause I watched it when it happened in my timeline, you see… I was sent ahead by the other Scanalonions as a scout, and my present time counterpart is looming the planet, watching your every move, if I knew where I was today, I would gladly end him, or… me I should say,"

"Stay on topic would you," I said rather bored.

"Why should we believe any of that?"

"Because what if you don't?" Stargazer retorted.

"We'll hear his story out, after that, both of you will leave or be terminated!" Arbiter decided.

Stargazer looked to me. "Sounds fair enough," Might as well roll with it, if they listen, then this trip was worth my time.

"Look, King Cold may be first, but he's the small fry you have to deal with," I pointed out.

"Just let me explain without ANY interruptions!" Stargazer fumed.

"King Cold is defeated without our interference, he does get away with a couple kills, but you of course used the Dragon Balls," He summed up, clearly wanting to move on.

"As you know, a galactic force known as the Scanlon empire attacked Genocilia, and I don't have any need to go into detail about that, however, what you didn't know, was that they tried to go after Namek too,"

"What!?" Several of them shouted.

"Of course, the battle with Frieza ended long before we could arrive, I was sent to Earth, alone, in the meantime, the rest of our fleet continued on and would eventually… 'recruit' the still living Frieza, and even resurrect Vegeta from the dead,"

"FRIEZA'S ALIVE? IMPOSSIBLE!"

Appule tensed up as he heard, and didn't object. "You're sure…"

"Absolutely, they will reconstruct him, and medal around with his brain… he won't remember much of his past, and I sadly fought alongside him in our eventual invasion of Earth,"

"So, we were right…" Arbiter said, though I was unsure what he meant, it was possible that they had predicted the Scanlon Empire would go after Earth.

"But we weren't even your biggest problem," he revealed. "There is an Earth-grown threat on its way that made us all look pathetic, my greatest superiors, Lord Merciless, and Contra were both crushed at the hands of the very same Earth born android in the same night,"

"W-What do you mean?" Piccolo queried.

"I'm saying, some crock head named Dr. Gero, was a scientist in the old Red Ribbon army, the one defeated by Goku many, many years ago, back when he was still a boy, will re-surface in about two and a half years time, and release horror onto the world as his androids managed to search out and kill every single warrior both of our sides had to offer,"

"How many are there, an army? Thousands, millions?" Barasi finally spoke.

Stargazer chuckled. "I'm afraid there are a measly two,"

"What? What do you mean two?"

"Oooonnneee…twwooooo…" he answered sarcastically.

"Oh shut it," I snapped. "Gero only made two androids, and they killed him, but those two androids will be responsible for the deaths of all of you, as well as Tien, Yamcha, Corser, Denal, Annex, Hercule, Gohan, Cason, and that moron that used to wear the chicken suit," I finished.

They were all shocked, they had no idea what to believe, could that be true? Of course, it was…

"They also wiped out all the Scanalonions, I only escaped thanks to my cloaking ability, and since we can't be sensed, and they can't sense energy anyways, I got a bit lucky," Stargazer added.

"Why should we believe any of this?" Massa protested.

I smirked. "You don't have any choice, by the way, you may have noticed we never mentioned Goku… he died of a heart virus, but the future counterpart of Bulma wanted me to deliver this," I announced, and tossed a bottle of medicine to Appule.

"She said there wasn't a cure at this time, but there is in the future,"

"How do you know Bulma?"

"I never said all of you died in one fight, it was gradual over a couple short years, and I was fighting side by side with some of you, Stargazer allied with us after his allies were all seeked out and destroyed, they keep us around for fun,"

"You're saying… you still haven't defeated them in your time? How many years in the future are we talking about?"

"Seven," Stargazer answered.

"Remember, whether you truly believe our story or not, you don't really have a choice, and cannot afford to take any risks, you all MUST get stronger, train harder, harder than you ever have, it's your only chance at survival, we will return in a few years when shit really gets bad, in the meantime we must defend the remaining populace in our timeline," I tried to convince.

"Oh, and Appule," I remembered.

"Huh?" He grunted, coming out of deep thought.

"I think you would like to know that your home world has recently been attacked by a mad Saiyan, and you outta get over there and save them, if you care that is,"

He nodded. "Thank you, I don't know if we can trust you, but if any of what you're saying is true, then perhaps seeing that you're telling the truth about my home can confirm the rest is true too, maybe not, but at least we would know you aren't just trying to split us up to conquer or anything, in any case… I have Instant-Transmission.

I chuckled. "That went from a somewhat appreciative statement, to a threat, don't worry, it's completely true, every word," I reassured.

"All right, I think we've warned them about everything important, let's go home," Stargazer urged.

I merely nodded. "See you all in three years… if we're still alive… train hard,"

"They were telling the truth," I said, breaking the silence.

"How can you be so sure?" Barasi wondered.

"Easy, I noticed that when their vehicle vanished, -which should be pretty good evidence as it is- there was a Capsule Corps logo on the side,"

"So, what do we do now?" Vasile asked?

"We do exactly what we were told, we train hard," Arbiter said, with quite a bit of simplicity.

"Annex has almost caught up to us, we should wait for him," Vasile reminded.

"Well, it would appear that I'm going home, anyone want to come and kid some a Saiyan's ass with me?" I offered.

Kershall stepped fourth. "Why not, I could use something out of the usual,"

Massa then followed. "I'll come, but I don't work for free," He warned.

Several of us let out a small chuckle at that. "That's fine, I'll find something"

Annex finally arrived and landed in the crowd of Genocilians, and Barasi slung the unconscious Vesaun over his shoulder.

"All right, I doubt that saving my home will take long, we'll return soon, in the meantime, make sure word spreads around to others about all of this, Goku and the Earthlings should definitely know about this,"

I tossed the medicine to Piccolo. "Here, you can handle that since I'm going to be off planet,"

He grunted a reply.

"Evak, I want you to tell Corser and Denal and then relocate to the lookout and train with the others,"

"Will do, sire,"

I turned my attention back to Kershall and Massa. "Grab onto something, I'm going to instant transmit home," I ordered.

POV - Analyss

"Take cover!" Steph whispered but with urgency. Both of us immediately dove behind some trees. I looked up and sighted a few more of those hideous creatures flying by in a group formation, scouring the forest for more survivors.

"Clear," I confirmed, and we silently began walking again, cautiously.

It had gone much like that, for an hour since Steph had swooped in to save my life. "At this rate, we aren't going to find anyone we know,"

"I know," He grunted.

Silence filled the air once more, and as if on cue, another small group of those red creatures appeared in the skies, we both saw it this time, and ducked for cover.

This time wasn't before though, this time, they stopped. "Do you think they saw us?" I whispered.

Sweat was clearly forming on Steph's cheeks. "Maybe… I'm not sure,"

Our fears were confirmed not to be true, as one of the creatures raised their hand and fired a purple energy wave in a completely different direction.

"They didn't see us, let's move," I anxiously suggested, and was about to get up but Steph held me back.

"No, don't be a fool, you move, they see you, and we're both fucked!" He reasoned.

I backed down, realizing what a foolish decision I would've made if I were alone.

When we looked back up, someone else arrived, and brought both fists down on one of the little creeps, sending him into the ground like a rocket.

He then did a backwards sweep, to halt a second red midget; he then turned around and kneed it in the gut.

The other two freaks of the squad were preparing to shoot him in the back, but it turned out the rogue warrior had backup of his own. Another fighter came seemingly out of nowhere and shoved his boot right into the back of that one's skull; it was a very good hit, as it dropped to the ground lifelessly.

The same warrior turned and began exchanging blows with the remaining one, as did the first fighter was doing with his opponent.

"Now's our chance, let's get going!"

"No," Steph overruled. "If we're to get caught, we would be in big trouble with just the two of us, if we team up with those two, there's a higher likelihood of us finding the rest of our family," He strategized.

"But we don't know them! They could be criminals, or-"

"It's a risk we'll have to take, and take gladly," He interrupted.

The red being that had been sent crashing into the ground had remerged, and Steph took off towards it without a word.

"Steph, wait!" I complained. Why are my brothers always so sure that they are making the right move? I wondered.

Then again, maybe I was the fool for constantly second guessing them. Steph caught the plant-like creature by surprise with his sudden appearance, and easily drove his hands around its head and snapped its neck. Up above, both of the rogue warriors finished off their opponents as well, quite handily too.

"Survivors!" One of them shouted in surprise, both descended from the sky and landed by Steph, and I hurried up and rushed to his side.

"Where did you two come from? We were certain that this whole area got massacred!" One of them exclaimed.

The one who said that looked a lot like Appule, just with green skin as a base, and black spots patterning around his body, and also had a black spike at the peak of his head. He wore an old style of red knee/arm guards and a white base. He also had a red scouter over his eye.

"We've been on the run, we're not even sure where we are, but we know we're headed in the right direction," Steph answered.

I looked at the other fighter; he was purple skinned like us, with a yellow pattern of spots across his body. He barred no armor, just a full body under suit, along with a blue scouter.

"The name is Nabah, and this is my friend Paare," He introduced. Paare acknowledged, but kept his eyes out and about, playing a lookout sort of role.

"I'm Analyss, and this is my brother, Steph,"

"We would like to offer to travel together, a group of four is much better off than two, not so big that it's too difficult to remain stealthy, and not too small in numbers to defend themselves, we'll all be much safer," Steph offered.

Nabah tapped his scouter. "Hmm… not bad, over 3400," He said, towards me. He then scanned Steph. His eyes widened. "It's over 9,000!"

POV - Appule

The three of us materialized next to an old fountain and a few dead bodies of my race lying in a pool of shared blood.

"Home sweet home…" I said sarcastically, at least I had my humor still.

"So this is planet Yavo…" Massa said.

"Yep, lived here my whole life, until Frieza interfered, of course… it's usually a lot nicer than this," I added, looking on at the total desolation that whatever city we were at had suffered through. Whoever this Saiyan was, he packed a punch.

"Surely one Saiyan didn't do all of that!" Massa spoke again, looking on at the ruins and dead people.

"I think Appule and I both used to know one who could…"

"Vegeta? Surely it isn't him… the guy from the future would've mentioned something like that,"

"And maybe they aren't to be trusted after all, anyone can steal a vehicle that says Capsule Corps on it," Kershall debated.

"Guess it's up for time to decide that," I agreed.

A/N: Boom! Boy that was a fun chapter to write! Tien and Krillin's fight is sort of being pushed into the shadows while the plotting developments steal the show! Btw, if you didn't understand the Mutumbo reference, or you don't know who that is and got confused, don't worry about it. It's just a retired B-ball player and stupid commercial lol.

Appule's home! But who is the threat on Yavo? (Just an fyi, I just now named his planet that… I might name his race sometime soon as well)

Appule's little sister, Analyss, appeared in a flashback once, she is now a part of the story, and now I added a brother to the mix. We'll go into more detail with Steph and her next chapter. So turns out it was Future Cooler and Future Stargazer, can they be trusted? I also plan on publishing a couple specials, "The History of Stargazer" and "The History of Cooler"

Notice, Stargazer and Cooler are only from seven years into the future, that's much different than canon, but these two didn't need 20 years of training like Trunks did, and Bulma was able to build the time machine much sooner (Reason for that will be revealed in the Specials) so here they are.

I broke my previous word count for a single chapter record as you may have noticed!

Previous - Chapter 5 4.1k or so

(Broke 4k in 23 and 25 as well)

Today, we have over 6,754 Lol this was certainly an eventful chapter! Evidenced by the length difference and well, you guys read it, so you know the other reasons.
