Reformed Saiyans

Chapter Nine: The Arrival of the Saiyans

East City, Nine O'Clock in the Morning…

"BOOM!" A Loud Explosion erupted near the City's center. It had looked like a meteor at first sight but when people got near it, it was in fact not one but two futuristic pods. The Citizens of the City let the curiosity get the better of themselves.

They got closer to the crater, and a hatch had opened on these two pods. The two pods which were in fact, the spaceships used by the Saiyans, just like Raditz's pod.

"Wha..What is that!" One Citizen shouted. His Voice became slightly shaky, but was too curious not to look. He and a few others got closer. As the hatch opened, a Man with straight spiky hair stood up.

He was slim but clearly fit, He donned a blue jumpsuit, and to what the Citizens thought was some kind of strange football outfit. It was simply the Saiyan armor, similar to the one that Raditz had donned, and the one that the next man that came out had.

The next Saiyan stood out, he was bald, and bulky. He had a mean face on him that clearly meant trouble. He was taller than the other one, but obviously was the underling, as the shorter one gave him some orders.

"Who are they?!" A Woman shouted. She was a bit stunned, and thought this might have been some kind of prank.

"I..I don't know! But they look mean!" A Man answered in response.

The bald man looked to the taller one and gave a signaling glance. The shorter one rolled his eyes and sighed. He gave the notion okay to the bald one. The bald one lifted his two fingers with an evil smirk on his face.

"BOOM!" The city was gone in a flash. The explosion was massive and with such an enormous blast it had alerted our heroes.

"They're here!" Raditz shouted as he turned to the direction of the blast. "Prepare yourselves!"

The bald one laughed. "Hahahaha!" He said. "I don't think I left enough of an impression on this city!"

He turned to the short one, "Should I try again, Vegeta?"

"It'd be best if we leave it at this, Nappa." Vegeta replied. "I don't wanna do anything that'll harm our chances of getting a good value for this planet."

"Ah, I guess you're right." Nappa said agreeingly. "Besides, we should look for those Dragon orbs or whatever they're called anyways."

"They're called Dragon Balls." Vegeta corrected. He looked at Nappa with an irritated gaze. "And the first thing we should do is find that weakling Raditz, and his pathetic excuse for a Saiyan brother."

Vegeta was annoyed with Nappa not taking this seriously, after all, He is the Saiyan General. The others may be weak, but the Dragon Balls were important business. It then had donned on him that a ball may have been destroyed when Nappa blew up the city.

"Our chances for getting our Immortality wish probably just went in pieces when you decided to greet our new friends anyways." Vegeta said looking at his comrade.

Nappa widened his eyes slightly, "Oh.." He said. "Sorry Vegeta, I didn't think it through. It won't happen again."

Vegeta sighed. "It's fine, what's done is done. We might as well just look for Raditz, and get some answers." He replied. "We'll look for the highest power level and go there."

The two flew up in the air and hit the big white button on their scouters. As they slowly turned their heads in a 360 motion, it displayed several different powers in different directions. Some of which were at a fairly decent level for the average Saiyan.

Nappa became alarmed, and his face expressed obvious discomfort.

"Take it easy Nappa. There's no reason for us to be worried." Vegeta reassured. "Like I said. We'll find the highest power level and head there."

Vegeta turned his head once more and the scouter displayed, "5,000". Vegeta lifted his eyebrow, "Huh." He thought. "Over here Nappa." Vegeta said.

Vegeta pointed in the direction of the power level. Nappa was a bit startled at the power but then grew an evil grin on his face.

"Looks like you'll have some competition Nappa." Vegeta pointed out.

"It's been awhile since I could let loose!" Nappa smirked. "Now I see why Raditz got his butt kicked!"

"Yes, It's all coming together now." Vegeta added.

The two blasted off towards the highest power level. It was in fact Raditz's power level, but unknown to them, Raditz had been concealing his strength. Piccolo had arrived near Raditz and the others, assuming that's where these new foes would be at.

Raditz, Goku, and Gohan could immediately feel the incredible strength that had arrived on Earth.

"I-Is that them?!" Gohan asked.

"Yes, there's no doubt about it." Raditz answered. Raditz gulped and lowered his gaze. He took a deep breath and turned to Goku. "Are you sure we can seriously defeat them?"

"Uh-Huh!" Goku said. He nodded and smiled blissfully. "Of course we can! With our new training, and everyone fighting together. We have an actual chance of defeating them."

Raditz took a deep sigh. "I hope you're right." He replied. "Otherwise this might be just the end of us all."

The three released their energy and took off in a quick manner.

"Hey Piccolo!" Goku said, waving his hand. "How did your training go?"

"I think you'll find my result overwhelming." Piccolo answered. "I assume yours went well too?"

"Yahuh!" Goku smiled.

"Good, cause after this you and then your brother are my next target." Piccolo replied.

Raditz laughed. "Ha! Your power is nothing compared to a Saiyan's innate capabilities."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Piccolo asked. He scoffed, "You think you're stronger than me don't you?"

"Think? Hmph!" Raditz chuckled. "No, I'm far beyond your strength!"

Piccolo growled. "Then let's just test that theory!" He snarled.

Raditz angrily glared, "Fine! Bring It On!" He growled.

"Good, I'll get to wipe that smug face off of you!" Piccolo taunted.

Goku stood in between the two before they ended up doing something stupid.

"Stop!" Goku shouted. "You can't fight now! We need to save our energy for the other two!"

Both Raditz and Piccolo scoffed at each other and turned away.

"Fine.." Raditz said.

"Whatever.." Piccolo grumbled.

Eventually, Tien and Chiaotzu had arrived.

"Heeyyy!" Chiaotzu shouted. The others looked to the sky.

"Tien! Chiaotzu!" Goku shouted. "Over Here!" Goku waved to the two, to indicate their location.

"It's been awhile." Tien stated.

"Yeah It has.." Goku answered. He looked at them, and realized two were missing. "Where's Yamcha and Krillin?" He asked, tilting his head.

"I think they had something they needed to finish up before coming here." Tien replied.

"Yeah, Yamcha said something about Baseball.. And I think Krillin went to go pick the senzu beans up." Chiaotzu added.

"You know, I didn't see you guys at Kami's. Where were you?" Goku asked.

"Kami took us to a Special Instructor from Otherworld." Tien answered.

Before Goku could speak, a loud grouchy laugh could be heard in the distance.

"Hahaha! Otherworld?" He said. "You have to die to get there! What did you do? Kill yourselves?!"

Nappa and Vegeta floated down and made their entrance. Raditz glared at Vegeta, and mumbled to himself, the Prince's name. Vegeta looked around to see how many fighters were here, and to see which the five thousand had belonged to.

It was Raditz, surprising Vegeta a bit. "And here, I thought you were dead Raditz." He mocked. "But I guess it's fine, I'd like the pleasure of pummelling you into the ground myself."

Raditz scoffed. "Not this time, I'll be the one who'll do the pummelling." He replied. Raditz pointed to himself with his thumb and grew a smirk on his face.

"Really? You beat me? With that pitiful power of yours?" Vegeta said. "Don't make me laugh!"

Raditz growled and clenched his fists. "Pitiful?! I'll show you who's pitiful! You won't even lift a finger when I'm through with you!"

The doubts that were in Raditz's mind had now been overshadowed by anger and ambition. He was roaring to fight and ready to prove the other two wrong.

"I'd like to see that day! You're weak just like your father. You couldn't even lay a finger on Nappa!" Vegeta laughed.

Raditz snarled, and tightened his fists. "I'm nothing like my father." He said. "My power has strengthened since the last time we met."

"Hmph.." Vegeta scoffed. "Even if you have gotten stronger, You could never get as strong as me within such a short amount of time. Perhaps you could give Nappa a fair fight but I doubt you could win."

"Then how about I show you?" Raditz said.

"I already know what you're capable of, I want to see these...others." Vegeta replied. He turned his head to the other fighters.

Krillin, not a few seconds later, landed down and joined with the others.

"There's more? Interesting... " Vegeta thought.

"Krillin!" Goku shouted.

"What's up Goku?" Krillin replied. Krillin looked to the side of Goku, and noticed Gohan. He slightly opened his eyes. "Woah you've gotten big Gohan!"

Gohan turned to Krillin. "Oh, your Krillin, the one I met at Master Roshi's?" He asked.

"Yeah, How's it been." Krillin replied.

"Wait, DIdn't Dad say you were the one who trained to make up for how short you were?!" Gohan asked.

Goku stepped a few steps back, and whistled suspiciously.

"He said what now?" Krillin asked.

"How many of these pests are gonna come?" Nappa wondered. "Whatever, it doesn't matter how many of you come, we could take millions of you." He smirked and chuckled.

"I doubt that." Said a voice from above. Yamcha flew down and landed casually on the ground. "I've been training with King Kai from Otherworld for almost a year!"

Nappa snickered, and then scoffed in Yamcha's direction. "Training? Ha! What're you? A Comedian?" He sneered. "It doesn't matter how much training you do, you'll never be able to compare. It'd take several lifetimes to reach the strength we have."

Vegeta became agitated, "Enough of this talking!" He shouted. "Let's get this started already."

Vegeta turned to Nappa, "You got those Saibamen still?" He asked.

Nappa nodded. He pulled out a little capsule with a metal divider inside it. It had 6 beans on the top and green liquid below it. Nappa placed the beans in the ground and poured the liquid on top of it.

"This should do it." Nappa muttered.

"Becareful Nappa. You do remember the last time we used the accelerator?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes I remember. I placed just enough in them. They won't be going crazy this time!" Nappa said proudly.

"Good. Throw in the full strength tabs too." Vegeta said.

Nappa looked at Vegeta, and made sure he wasn't joking. "You sure Vegeta?" He asked. "I mean would it be safe to have both the tabs and the accelerator?"

"Yes, I'm sure. It shouldn't be too big of a deal." Vegeta answered.

Nappa raised his shoulders and lowered them back down. "Alright, your orders Sir." He said

Nappa grabbed another capsule from his bottle full of black little tablets. He placed it in the holes he buried that had the green liquid and Saibamen beans. Nappa covered the holes back up and waited.

Everyone, excluding Raditz, were wondering what the two were doing. All were a bit puzzled.

"Did Vegeta actually make Nappa put the strength tabs on the Saibamen? He can't seriously be that lazy." Raditz thought. "Or maybe he really thinks I have gotten stronger." Raditz shook his head, he knew this wasn't the case. Vegeta had to have been in a lazy mood.

"What are they doing?" Krillin asked.

"They're planting Saibamen. Saibamen are little green men that can potentially have the strength of a middle classed warrior." Raditz answered. "We usually used them for exterminating smaller planets, or if we became far too outnumbered. Though it was more of a lazy tactic."

"I wouldn't underestimate them though. A few of their abilities can be dangerous." Raditz stated.

"Well then it'd just be a good test of our new skills." Yamcha said with a smirk.

Within under a minute, the creatures sprouted and shot up from the ground. They were green-ish and blace creatures. Their colors blended almost like a lava lamp and they had golden evil eyes. Their hands had three white claws each and so did their feet.

Nappa counted each creature. "One...two...three...four...five..six..seven..eight..nine!" He shouted. There were extras instead of the normal six. "Looks like we got a few extras Vegeta."

"Intriguing, I wonder how'll they perform though." Vegeta replied. "Scan their power levels, I want to make sure they're strong enough to fight our contenders."

Nappa clicked the white button on their device. It scanned each and every Saibamen then displayed the numbers on the screen. "2,100. 2,300. 2,700. 3,000. 3,300. 3,800. 4,200. 4,500. 5,000."

Nappa smirked. "Oh this is gonna be great! We have at least four above three thousand!" He said. Nappa signaled his hand to the Saibamen. "You know what to do."

They all rushed into battle swiftly attacking all of our heroes. The first one to land an attack was the one of two-thousand and seven-hundred. He attacked Krillin by swiping its claws. Krillin jumped backwards evading the attack and he threw his fist as the creature neared itself. His fist landed on the cheek of the Saibamen and it flew backwards into the ground.

"Woah!" Krillin shouted. The Sabiamen instantly recovered itself from the previous attack and darted forward swinging its claws rapidly. Krillin dodged each attack with not even a full second to spare. The Saibamen jumped up and dived downward. As it got closer to Krillin, he flipped backwards allowing his foot to kick the Saibamen. Krillin darted backwards, and put his two hands in front of him.

"Kamehame.." He said. Krillin pulled his two hands to his waist and blue sparkles of energy collected into his hands. It created a bright blue sphere, and Krillin shot his hands forward as he shouted "HA!".

The wave of energy moved quickly to the Saibamen and then the blast expanded on contact. Krillin's aura had bursted a bright red for a split second, before immediately disappearing. There was no trace of the Saibamen left. Krillin looked around the area, and saw Chiatozu dealing with two on his own. He rushed to help his friend out.

Meanwhile, Nappa's scouter had flared up reading a new level. He became puzzled, "6,400? That can't be right. This machine must be getting defective." He thought to himself. There was no way anyone of them came close to his level, He told himself.

Chiaotzu was assaulted by two different Saibamen. One of a level of two-thousand and one hundred. Another of two-thousand and three-hundred. Chiaotzu couldn't fight them off, both were stronger than him. The only thing he could do was use his telekinesis to hold them off.

The first Saibamen was mostly black but with green hands and feet. The second was the opposite, mostly green with black hands and feet.

Krillin charging his Kaioken power once again, dashed in front of green handed Saibamen, slamming his shoulder into the creature and it crashed into a nearby hill. The second after Krillin dropped his kaioken aura and kneed the other Saibamen in its gut.

He grabbed it's hand and threw the Saibamen against the other one. This time rubble fell onto the Saibamen, crushing them. Krillin turned and walked over to his friend.

"You okay?" He asked. Chiaotzu nodded in response.

The Saibamen at a power level of 3,800 went after Tien. Unlike the first three that were killed, It's color blended in maliciously. It had only one golden evil eye and another silver eye. It was a lot smarter than the others, including knowing when to find openings.

It slashed several times with it's claws at Tien but to no avail. Tien had evaded all of the attacks with ease. Tien counteracted and struck the Saibamen with a karate chop. In mid-air the Saibamen rolled backwards for a few seconds.

Tien took a quick moment to use one of his attacks. He shaped his hands like a triangle and gathered ki to the center of the triangular hole. Tien fired his attack unleashing a powerful triangle-shaped energy wave. The Saibamen moved out of the way with time to spare, it's head split open and spouted out bubbling liquid.

"Crap!" Tien shouted as he moved away. A few drops of this liquid dropped on Tien and burned a few pieces of his skin on his right shoulder. "That stuff is dangerous! It's like acid or something!" He thought with wide open eyes.

With Tien's guard just a bit slipped, the Saibamen jumped towards him, attempting to grab a hold of Tien. Tien threw his elbow to keep the Saibamen away but it moved behind Tien. The Saibamen grabbed ahold of Tien, gathering all of its ki, and then "BOOM!"

It exploded, creating a huge amount of smoke while also grasping the other fighters's attention. Everyone looked to the sky, to see the pile of smoke and Tien falling down, looking badly injured. Nappa grinned from the sheer entertainment he was having, it was getting his blood boiling, itching for a fight of his own.

"Tien!" Chiaotzu shouted. A lot of worry poured on Chiaotzu, he rushed to save his friend, but didn't seem to be fast enough. Chiaotzu thought quickly and used his telekinesis once he got close enough. Chiaotzu caught Tien before he hit the ground, and then lowered Tien carefully on the ground.

Chiaotzu flew over to his friend and shook Tien in hopes of waking him up. Tien squeezed his eyes and opened them groaning in pain.

"You're okay!" Chiaotzu said cheerfully. He had almost thought the worst but Tien survived.

"Okay, that wasn't a very smart move, I should've seen that coming." Tien said. "Thanks for catching me buddy."

"No problem!" Chiaotzu smiled.

Tien stood back up, and moved a bit out of the battlefield.

At around the same time, Yamcha, fighting one of the other Saibamen, prepared to finish it off.

He pushed his two hands forward shouting "Kamehameha!". The bright blue wave obliterated the Saibamen into nothing. Yamcha flew over to Tien afterwards.

"Tien!" Yamcha shouted. He grabbed a Senzu from his pocket and threw it to Tien. "Catch!" He shouted.

"What was that?" Vegeta thought. He observed Tien only to end up full of surprise.

Tien caught the bean swiftly and ate it. His muscles pumped up and then reverted back to normal. Every single one of his injuries were healed, and his energy restored back to normal.

"Bizarre. He ate that bean and all of his injuries were restored? That might be a problem, I'll have to remove them before it's too late." Vegeta said in his thoughts. Vegeta looked around the battlefield realizing most of the Saibamen were defeated. "Hmm, seems we've underestimated our friends here."

Nappa chuckled. "So they've been able to defeat a few Saibamen, big deal." He replied with a smirk. "They still won't stand a chance against me!"

Yamcha came closer to the other two. "What happened." He asked.

"It seems they have the ability to explode." Tien answered. "Keep your guard up, don't let them do that. It's a dangerous technique."

Yamcha and Chiaotzu nodded in response.

Elsewhere, Piccolo was fighting the Saibamen that had equal strength to him. The Saibamen kept trying to play tricks and games on him. Piccolo was already irritated as it was, but this made him more irritated. Piccolo, done with it's games, waited for it to attack.

The Saibamen leaped forward and tried to latch itself on Piccolo. However, Piccolo evaded it, and it went behind Piccolo. It tried to do the same thing the other one did to Tien, but Piccolo was no fool.

"Tch! Doing the same thing won't work on me." He muttered. Piccolo spun quickly around and struck the Saibamen in the gut. It gasped for air, unable to breathe. Piccolo moved backwards, and put his two fingertips at his forehead gathering air.

"Mankankosappo!" He shouted. A bright beam of kiai with circular rings around it blasted its way to the Saibamen. The Saibamen couldn't react and before it even knew itself, the beam made contact. A light but powerful explosion occurred at the Saibamen killing it.

Finally, the last three charged at Gohan and Raditz. The first one being 3,300 threw itself at Gohan, already have chosen to explode before anything. Gohan froze out of panic, he couldn't move or anything and just stood there.

Luckily for him Raditz rammed his fist into the Saibamen's gut. The Saibamen went flying and crashed right through a tall mountain. The impact was strong enough to make the Saibamen break into pieces.

"Keep your guard up!" Raditz yelled. "If you let yourself freeze during battle you only die. Remember what I taught you."

Gohan gulped, "S-Sorry." He frowned.

The last two Saibamen dashed to Raditz, and in hopes of confusing him, they rapidly surrounded Raditz. Raditz scoffed, and hit the one of a 4,200 level's chin. It flew up in the air and exploded into smithereens.

Swiftly after, the last Saibamen of a 5,000 power level created a fist and threw it at Raditz. Raditz inched his neck, and caught the fist. Raditz gripped the Saibamen with much force, so much that it had made the Saibaman implode.

This was a shock to Nappa. It would've been one thing if he gave the Saibaman trouble, and even it beat it, but to kill it with ease had enraged him.

"H-How!" Nappa said. He paused and growled. "How is that possible!"

Raditz smirked, "I already told you, I'm not that weakling anymore!" He yelled. "I'm tired of doing the dirty work for you two. This ends today!"

"Hmph." Vegeta said. He rolled his eyes, "So you've gotten stronger? Big deal. You still are outmatched by me."

"Then how about we test that theory? I've been waiting this long, why wait longer?" Raditz asked.

"Very well." Vegeta said. "Pick a location and we'll fight there."

Nappa looked at Vegeta with surprise. "Wait, you're seriously gonna fight him Vegeta?" He asked. "I can take care of him myself. There's no need for you to waste your energy against him."

"It's fine, besides I've been waiting to do this for a long time." Vegeta answered. "You go ahead and just take care of the rest."

Nappa smirked. "Fine by me!" He shouted. Nappa grinned in excitement, his blood raged, and his adrenaline pumped viciously.

"Whoa hold on!" Yamcha shouted. "We're just gonna let you guys decide? Don't the rest of us get a saying in it?"

Raditz looked over to Yamcha, and shook his head. "I'll be glad to let you go, that is if you want to be pummeled by my fist first!" He growled.

Yamcha sighed, he knew the extent of Raditz's power, it was clearly superior. He knew better than that, even if he was being forced to do something against his own will.

"Fine…" He said.

"Now let's get this show on the road." Raditz said.

"You can pick our location." Vegeta stated. "I don't want anyone getting in my way, and I'm sure you're thinking the same."

"Good, I got the perfect location in mind." Raditz replied.

"I'll go first." Piccolo declared. He pointed to himself and prepared his stance.

"Wait, Piccolo.." Tien said. Piccolo shifted back to a normal stance. "Please let me go first."

"And why should I do that?" Piccolo asked.

"I don't got much of a reason." Tien answered. "But if I don't win, he's all yours."

Piccolo sighed, "Alright, if you want to go first then fine." He said.

"So I'm fighting the triclops? That's fine with me, but I was kinda hoping to fight the Namek." Nappa said. "Oh well though, this should be good." Nappa put his left leg forward firmly on the ground and one of his fists further out than the other. This was his signature stance.

"Namek?" Everyone questioned themselves the same thing, even Piccolo.

"What's this Namek, you're talking about?" Piccolo asked.

Nappa was stunned to hear this question, "You're joking right?" He asked. There was no response to Nappa. He started laughing loudly, "You aren't joking!"

Nappa fell on the ground laughing harshly. "You seriously don't think you were an Earthling did you?" He asked

"Actually, Yeah I did." Piccolo answered.

"Hahaha! A Namekian who didn't even realize he was a namekian!" Nappa said. He continued laughing and then stood up. Nappa had laughed so hard that a few tears came out, he wiped them from his face and huffed.

"What are you talking about! Explain yourself!" Piccolo demanded.

"Let me spell it out for you." Nappa replied. "You...are...a… NAMEKIAN! You don't come from this planet. Just like Vegeta, Raditz, Raditz's brother, and I come from a different planet!"

"I mean, I guess it would make sense." Nappa stated. "Most Namekians aren't the warrior type, they're usually peaceful."

"What do you know of my race, tell me!" Piccolo yelled.

Nappa shrugged, "Sorry, I don't really know that much." He said mockingly. "I already gave you what I know. They're a peaceful race, and they look alot like you. That's it."

Piccolo's hands shook in this shocking new revelation. He gulped, it was hard to believe, but he felt… something, something that just told him. It was definitely true. "After so many years.. Have I really come to know my origins?" He asked himself.

"Let's get the fight started already. I'm done talking." Nappa said.

Tien positioned himself into his stance, "Alright, Let's go." He replied.
