Reformed Saiyans
Chapter Ten: Nappa, The Saiyan General.
"Fwoo!" Tien dashed quickly like the wind. He formed a fist in his hand and hurled at Nappa. Nappa moved to the side swiftly and evaded it. Nappa formed his own fist and hurled back at Tien. He aimed for Tien's gut but Tien guarded his stomach. The force pushed Tien backwards, and the dirt kicked up as he stood his ground.
Tien swung his right leg upwards, and towards Nappa's face. Nappa lifted his arm blocking Tien's leg, and launched his other fist at Tien. He aimed for Tien's face, but Tien acted quickly and lowered his leg back down. Tien quickly slid around until he was behind Nappa. He then lifted and bent his leg, targeting Nappa's back with his knee.
Nappa turned a quick 180 and jumped backwards. Tien dashed after and launched his left fist at Nappa. Nappa caught and gripped Tien's fist before it could reach his face. He gripped it tighter and stopped his own movement. Once Nappa stood firmly upon the ground he pulled his hand back with Tien's arm tight in his grasp and swung forward while releasing the grip at the same time.
At the last second, Tien gripped Nappa's own hand as a counterattack, and attempted to lift Nappa. Tien's aura bursted red, and he threw Nappa through the field. His aura powered off immediately after.
Seconds later Nappa stood up, his scouter broke into pieces and it fell on the ground. Nappa grunted angrily in response to his scouter breaking.
"What the hell was that?!" He thought. "I should be crushing him! His power was only at 4,000 when I checked it last! My power is superior so why is he still standing!"
Nappa growled viciously, and then sighed, "No matter, so he got a few lucky hits! I'm still stronger!" He said loudly to himself.
Nappa darted swiftly, and lifted his fist high in the air. As he got close to Tien he hurled his fist into Tien's chest. Tien barely blocked it but the force of the punch was tremendous, and the shockwave generated by it caused Tien's body to shake. Nappa threw another fist at Tien but Tien evaded it.
The two collided their fists and legs several times over. However Nappa was naturally stronger and faster. His body was battle hardened and any attack thrown at him, he could withstand its strength, even if it was twice as strong as he was.
Each collision, the two would rapidly move to another area, they were constantly moving, and it caused several shockwaves every time they clashed.
Gohan, who was watching the fight, got frustrated. "They're moving so fast!" He said with amazement. "I can't even see them!"
"You need to look with your ki, not your eyes Son." Goku replied.
"With my ki?" Gohan asked.
Goku nodded. "Yeah your ki. Don't look at it, feel it." He answered.
Gohan relaxed his muscles and closed his eyes to sense their movements. He reopened it to be able to see their movements. He smiled, "I can see them!" He shouted.
"His speed! And strength! It's unreal!" Piccolo gasped in thought. "And this kaio...whatever, it's an incredible technique!" Piccolo's hand shook, he couldn't believe his eyes. After that whole year of training, He was outmatched. He was outmatched not only by Tien or Nappa, but he would've clearly been outmatched by Raditz and Vegeta.
Piccolo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily. "After all my training...I can't believe that they were this much stronger!" He thought. Piccolo sighed. "There goes my plans for World Domination. I guess I'll just have to further improve my strength."
Tien's left fist was in a lock with Nappa's right fist. Tien acted swiftly, and powered his aura bright red. He activated his kaioken and lifted his knee in a quick manner against Nappa's chin. Nappa's guard slipped, and Tien took his chance to attack.
Tien threw several precise fists at Nappa, one at the left side of his chest, one at the right side of his chest, and one in Nappa's gut. The strike into Nappa's gut made him bend over, and Tien slammed his elbow into Nappa's back.
Nappa fell plummeting to the ground and Tien deactivated his kaioken. He took a deep breath, strain was already starting to show on his pumped up muscles.
"Damn, I need to be more careful." He said quietly. "I can only do that a couple more times without hurting myself, so I should use it resourcefully."
Nappa's crash into the ground caused a huge crater, three times his size. He groaned loudly as he got up, and gritted his teeth furiously. Nappa became restless, and stopped playing his games. He spread his legs and arms a little bit apart, then started charging his kiai.
"I'll end this now!" Nappa thought to himself. Tien flew down to the ground wondering about Nappa's next plans of attack. Nappa lifted his jaw open and yellow energy gathered in front of it. He smirked and started laughing.
"I'll finish you triclops! You and then the rest of these whelps!" Nappa yelled. He unleashed his attack, and a wave of energy approached Tien. Tien took his signature stance and waited it for to come close.
He formed chops with his hand and pushed against the wave of energy. Nappa's blast started pushing Tien backwards. Tien's veins bulged harder as he tried to fight back, but it just wasn't enough.
"Damn it! I have no choice!" He shouted to himself. His aura flared red, and Tien pushed his hands normally against the wave of energy. He took control of it quickly and then fired it up in the air.
"BOOOOOOM!" The energy exploded causing huge smoke to form, and wind to rage blowing the others. They all resisted the winds but it still had a chance of blowing them away. Once it had faded away, Nappa and Tien were seen panting heavily.
"Give up." Tien said. "Leave this planet in peace and never laughed."
Nappa chuckled, "Ha..haha..hahaha! Leave the planet? I'm just getting warmed up!" He shouted. "This has to be the toughest fight I've had in a long time!"
Tien groaned quietly, "Damn it." He said to himself. "I've already given so much and he's still able to fight? If this goes on any longer, I don't think I can survive it. That kaioken technique wore me out." He thought.
Nappa ran rapidly, stomping the ground as he did. Tien braced himself for impact and guarded his body as Nappa launched his fist. Tien crashed into a boulder near him but instantly got out of the rubble.
Nappa charged up once again, and jumped high in the air. He clenched his fists together, and dived down to the ground, slamming it. The strength of his slam caused a massive crack in the ground, and earth to erupt up from it.
Tien flared his Kaioken aura and evaded just in time. He darted around to Nappa's behind and kicked Nappa in the back. Nappa's body flew a bit backwards and he regained balance a few seconds later. By the time he had gotten his balance back, Tien jabbed his fist into Nappa's chest and then knee jabbed his gut.
Nappa slipped a bit and almost fell forward, but Tien flared his Kaioken aura higher to a level two boost. He lifted his knee quickly and powerfully, launching Nappa up in the sky. Tien soared upward and clenched his fists together.
He slammed his fists downward aiming for Nappa's back, but something stopped him. A strong pain in his body made him freeze. The strain from the level two was too much and he couldn't move.
"Why is he stopping?" Piccolo wondered.
"Yeah I don't get it! Why hasn't he finished it by now?!" Yamcha added.
Nappa's body was still falling but he quickly recovered once again. Everyone still confused by Tien's stopped movements, panicked.
"Get out of there Tien!" Chiaotzu shouted.
Tien's body shook, and he couldn't stop the pain. If Nappa had attacked him, it would all be over. It immediately dawned on Krillin what happened. There was no time to explain, no time to do nothing.
"Tien used the second level of Kaioken!" Krillin shouted. "We gotta get him out there!"
Everyone looked at Krillin with a bit of confusion, and Krillin blasted off quickly. No one had any time to process what was happening, so it all became a cloud of confusion. Krillin flared his Kaioken aura to move faster, but he wasn't fast enough. Nappa was already approaching Tien at an alarming speed.
"Crap! I can't make it!" He shouted. He still tried, but by the time he got even close to Tien. Nappa had already landed his attack. Nappa slammed his shoulders against Tien causing an immense amount of pain to him.
Tien plummeted towards the ground but Chiaotzu had caught him with his telekinesis once again. Once Krillin realized Tien was fine, he let go of his worry, and let out a sigh of relief. However it wasn't over yet, Nappa was now targeting Krillin.
"Trying to interrupt my fight?!" Nappa snarled. "Then so be it! I'll squash you!"
Nappa rushed after Krillin, but Krillin acted quickly and put his hands by his head.
"Solar Flare!" He shouted. Everyone else covered their eyes, but Nappa was unaware of this attack, he was blinded by a bright shining light.
"Aaah! My Eyes!" Nappa screamed. "How dare you use dirty tricks!"
Krillin put his two hands forwards and then to his waist, collecting energy as he did. A blue orb of energy formed in between his hands as he said the words, "KAMEHAME!".
"I hope this works." He thought to himself. At the same time of pushing his two hands forward again he shouted "HAAA!" and the blue orb turned into a wave of blue energy. The attack had hit Nappa, and he couldn't defend himself from it.
Krillin then flared his Kaioken aura to red, and the energy wave expanded. A few seconds later, Krillin stopped his burst of energy and panted heavily. It was too early to tell if Nappa was dead yet, but his body came crashing down to the ground.
It created a smaller crater from the last time he fell, but the impact hurt more than before. Krillin flew to the ground to where the others had given Tien a senzu.
"You okay?" Krillin asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Tien answered. Tien's eyesight was still regaining and everything looked a bit blurry to him. He placed his hand on his forehead, trying to resist the headache he had.
"What happened out there?" Yamcha asked.
"I'm not quite sure, I had a sudden massive pain in my body." Tien answered.
"It was the Kaioken." Krillin pointed out. Everyone looked at him. "King Kai warned us of going overboard with it. Looks like we can't really handle using it that many times or the second level too much."
"Well that explains it." Tien said. "It seems there's also a side effect of using it, cause I have a major headache now."
"Well Don't worry buddy, we've got this now." Yamcha replied.
"This Kaioken technique.." Piccolo said. "What exactly is it?"
The others explained to him, meanwhile Nappa was still alive. He stood up and launched a blast at Chiaotzu. The blast had come so quick, so fast, no one saw it coming, they all had their guards down. Chiaotzu screamed to the top of his lungs, and thought he was gone for sure. However he was saved, but the person who had saved him was unexpected.
Piccolo had blasted another energy blast to counter the other one, leaving only minor damage to Chiaotzu.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien shouted. He rushed over to his friend quickly, "You okay buddy?" He asked.
Chiaotzu floated back up and nodded. Tien flared with rage, and turned to Nappa.
"What the hell was that for!?" He shouted.
Nappa laughed in response, and ignored his question.
Tien clenched his fist angrily, and took his stance once again. He prepared to fight again, but could still feel the side effect from his second level kaioken.
"No, You've had your turn Tien." Piccolo stated. "It's mine now."
"Fine, but you better finish him." Tien replied.
"It'll be my pleasure." Piccolo smirked.
Nappa smirked. "So now the namekian wants to fight me?" He said. "Bring it on!"
The two took their stances. Nappa was covered in dirt, bruises, scratches, and other more severe injuries. He was weakened, but still going strong. Piccolo on the other hand was ready for combat, he was still one hundred percent and had his full energy.
"I'm not playing any games, so we'll go all out from the start, got that!?" Piccolo shouted. Nappa nodded in response.
The two rushed to each other, and slammed each other's arms against one another into a lock. Both fighters tried to push the other one out of the way, but it didn't work. Piccolo let Nappa push a little harder only to push Nappa back with much more force. The lock broke and Nappa stumbled backwards.
Piccolo hurled his fist into Nappa's gut making him gasp for air. Piccolo then rammed himself into Nappa, knocking Nappa onto the ground. Piccolo hopped backwards and pulled his fist backwards. He moved his hand in a circle collecting energy in front of his palm, and the energy formed into a yellow sphere.
Once Piccolo made a full circle, he stopped and continued gathering more energy. Nappa stood up slowly, feeling the pain of his injuries. He grumbled loudly, and angrily.
"So he wants to finish this now? Then so be it!" Nappa yelled in his mind. "These pests are getting annoying, and It's about time I've finished it. Once I've defeated him, I'll go after the rest of them."
Nappa gathered ki in his right fist and waited til Piccolo fired his attack.
"Demon Flash Wave!" Piccolo shouted. With his other hand Piccolo gripped his hand with the energy, is wrist and fired the yellow wave of energy. When it made halfway to Nappa, Nappa fired his attack right back.
The two waves of energy collided making the earth beneath and around them quake loudly. It caused winds to roar, and the skies to rage on. Piccolo's wave of energy slowly consumed Nappa's wave as he put more energy in to it.
"Wha...What?!" Nappa shouted. "This..isn't possible! It shouldn't be, I'm the great Saiyan General!"
He grunted fiercely and forced more energy into his wave, but it did nothing. Piccolo's energy wave continued to consume Nappa's ki wave.
"Haaa!" Piccolo shouted as he put more ki into his wave. It overwhelmed Nappa's wave quickly and soon it consumed Nappa himself. When the dust cleared up, Nappa survived, but he was on the ground totally fried.
Nappa couldn't even stay awake very long, but it was long enough for him to shout some last words. "Im...poss..ible.." He said. Nappa's eyes shut forcefully as he passed out.
Everyone came over to Piccolo to see the result of the battle.
"You did it!" Krillin shouted.
Piccolo growled, "Do I have to remind you, we're merely allies temporarily?" He said. Piccolo didn't like them being friendly to him at all. It made him irritated. "We're not friends, so if you decided to come cheer me on, don't."
"Well Sorry, Jeeze." Krillin said, he rolled his eyes.
"Is he dead?" Goku asked.
Piccolo shook his head. "No.. He's still alive. He survived." Piccolo replied.
"Even after all that? He still survived it all?" Yamcha gasped.
"Yeah.. Whatever you guys want to do with him, It's up to you. I'm going to head to the others." Piccolo stated. He went up and left, to the other two's location.
"Welp, I guess we should finish him then." Tien said. He lifted his hand and prepared to shoot.
"Wait!" Goku said. Tien stopped and looked at Goku.
"What?" Tien asked.
Goku scratched his head and thought. "I mean, he's all beat already, there should be no reason to kill him." He said.
Tien looked at Goku with shock. "You want us to leave him alive?" Tien said. His tone raised, "After that dirty trick he did to Chiaotzu?!"
"I'm fine, Tien!" Chiaotzu said.
"That's not the point Chiatozu!" Tien yelled. Chiaotzu bit his lip and kept quiet. Tien was clearly agitated and in a bad mood.
"Hey you don't need to start yelling at everyone!" Krillin shouted.
Tien grunted and looked away.
"I mean come on, what's the point in killing him though?" Goku asked. "Shouldn't we spare him?"
Tien grumbled. "Fine… If you want to let this monster live, go ahead. But you're responsible for his actions." Tien said. "I'm gonna go catch up with Piccolo." Tien took off, and decided to have some thoughts alone.
"Well, what're you going to do, Goku?" Yamcha asked.
"I think It'll be fine if we leave him alive." Goku said. He then grabbed a senzu bean from his pocket and placed it near Nappa.
"Wait Goku what are you doing now?" Krillin asked. "I get that you want to spare him, but if you give him a Senzu bean he'll be trouble again!"
"Nah, I think I can take him just fine Krillin." Goku said. "I promise, If he causes trouble, I can handle him with no effort!"
Goku smiled happily, and it forced Krillin to sigh. "Alright, I trust you Goku, if you think you can take care of it, then go for it." He sighed.
"I'm right behind you too." Yamcha added.
Nappa opened his eyes, he had heard everything they had said. "Disgusting." He said. They all looked at him with shock. "A True Saiyan never shows mercy to their enemy. I'd rather die than take help from someone as disgraceful to you."
"Hey, you should be happy that he helped you!" Krilin said, defending his best friend.
Nappa scoffed, and flipped over his back. He fell immediately back asleep, but Krillin was still angrily.
"Relax Krillin, it means nothing to me." Goku said. "It's not like I helped him for myself anyways."
Krillin turned his head at Goku and gave him a look. Yamcha did the same thing. Goku tilted his head in confusion in response.
"Why are you guys giving me that look." Goku said.
"Goku, you clearly let him live so you can have a good fight." Yamcha pointed out. Goku opened his mouth wide.
"Yeah, we're not stupid." Krillin added.
"Wha-What?! No I didn't!" Goku said. He tried to deny it, but it was clearly obvious that wasn't true. "I did it cause it was the right thing!" Oh sure, he did, but that wasn't his real reason.
"Goku, we all know your main reason has to do with a good fight." Krillin said.
Goku pouted in response and still denied.
"Come on let's go find the others." Chiaotzu said.
Elsewhere… about ten minutes ago.
"Seems the others are already fighting. I can feel their powers clashing." Raditz thought to himself. He stopped flying, and looked down below. "We're here." He said.
"Good, took you long enough." Vegeta said.
The two landed on two different tall pieces of stone. Vegeta on a much higher one, and Raditz on a much lower one. The two fighters took their fighting stances and prepared to fight.
