Hey, guys. Sorry about not uploading in a while :p. Like I said, my uploading is gonna be wonky, so expect me to upload sometimes like after a month or something. Anyways, ONTO THE STORY!

Chapter 4

Lumber Forest: age 853

Ramble ran as quickly as he could, getting to the Transport Shop Clerk in about five seconds (and downing his cereal in two), and teleported to Conton City.

Conton City: age 853

As soon as Ramble materialized, he ran straight to the time nest. This time, he brought his capsules, and so got out his capsule 315, and threw it to the ground. Then, after the hoverboard materialized, he hopped on and put it into full throttle.

He had to weave and dodge through a crowd of people, who yelled at him "Watch where you're going!" when he accidentally bumped into them.

Ramble would've like to say sorry, but there wasn' really time for that. Multiple time distortions. Multiple. If even one was left unfixed for too long, the current world he knew could change drastically. There wasn't time to say sorry.

Some time later in the Time Nest...

When he finally got to the time nest, Ramble put his hoverboard back into capsule form, and entered the Time Vault. There were three figures waiting for him; the Supreme Kai of time,

Chronoa, the Elder Kai, and his new partner, Jason, who was giving him a glare.

"Ah, you're finally here!" Chronoa said. "And I'm assuming you didn't fly this time?" she said with a smirk.

Ramble ignored the question, asking "So what happened? Where and when are the multiple time anomalies?"

Chronoa's smirk faded, as she began to explain the situation. "There is a problem with when Vegeta and Nappa came to earth, and there is a problem with the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai."

"What's the problem with those times?" Ramble asked, wondering who and or what was doing this.

"Piccolo got a power boost against Goku that made him equal to around Vegeta's level when Vegeta first arrived. There's more sabimen than normal, and Nappa and Vegeta have gotten a random powerboost." Jason told him. "And from what I know about you," he stated, "your power is only at a level of 15,000. So much for a member of 'the warrior race'"

"Wait, isn't your power level around mine?" Ramble asked. "I thought pairs have around the same power level. And anyway, I think that data's kinda outdated now."

"Well if your power's different then what it should be, do you wanna go see?" Jason asked.

Before Ramble could respond, Chronoa interjects. "Hey, I didn't get you two here to get into a fight with each other!" she stated. "Listen, individually, neither of you won't be able to take on this super-powered Nappa." she said. "Which is why both of you are gonna take him on together."

"Wait, but what about the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai?" Ramble asked. "Who's gonna fix that?"

"Well, I think that's where I come into play," said a familiar voice.

Ramble turned, and saw Racket. "By the way, hi Ramble!" she said to him.

Ramble smirked, as he knew that Racket would fix her problem without breaking a sweat.

"Hey, Racket!" He responded to her. "How are you feeling after our sparring session?"

"Eh, a little bit sore, but otherwise, I'm f-" "Can we talk about our "fun" sparring session later, I thought we're all here to fix this mess." interrupted Jason.

"Ok, so, does that mean you're all ready?" Old kai asked. The three time patrollers collectively nodded. "Well, then let's get to it!"

Break Wastelands: age 762

The 6 Z-fighters readied themselves, as they had to face the behemoth Saiyan Nappa now.

"Alright, who's ready to play with Nappa first?" Nappa said, with a cruel smile on his face.

The short saiyan, Vegeta, stood behind Nappa. He didn't care about these earthlings and the namekian, all he wanted to do is gain his immortality.

All of a sudden, Vegeta's scouter starts ringing. New power levels are approaching.

Suddenly, a blinding light fills the area, forcing everyone to cover their eyes. The light eventually fades, revealing a human and a saiyan.

"Oh?" Vegeta says, surprised to see another saiyan survivor.

"Oh great, there's another one of those saiyan people!" the former bandit Yamcha exclaims.

'Is that guy with that saiyan? Oh no, this is bad!' the dwarf monk Krillin thinks to himself.

"Three saiyans, huh? Well, things have just taken a turn for the worse." the triclops Tienshinhan commented.

'What are we gonna do?!' the psychic Chiaotzu worried.

Gohan simply stood in fear and shook, as there were now three saiyans to fight.

Piccolo was worried at first, but then he realized something. "Wait a minute, that face... it looks so familiar, but from-" He then remembered Raditz, and the saiyan that had helped him and Goku.

He's not sure what the saiyan's motives were then and where he'd come from (he still doesn't have the slightest clue for either question), but he had considered him an ally in that moment. He just hoped that it would be the same situation right now.

"Well, this is intriguing…" Vegeta said, looking at our protagonist, Ramble. "I didn't know that another saiyan escaped the destruction of our planet." he then extended his hand. "So, are you here to join us and end these fools...or are you here to help those pathetic weaklings?"

Ramble looked hard at Vegeta, then turned his head to Nappa… and dropped into his fighting stance and announced "These people aren't 'weakling', they're proud warriors that I'm going to help."

"Feh, how pathetic." Nappa said in disgust. "Choosing these earthlings over your race...it's shameful."

Vegeta sighed. "Whatever, at least this'll be a somewhat interesting watch." Vegeta said, putting his hand down, and sat down on some nearby rocks.

Everyone followed suit, and got into their stances, preparing for what Nappa had in store. Jason just stood there, glaring at the savage saiyan.

All of a sudden, Nappa's eyes obtained a hint of red within them, and Nappa yelled and powered up, with a purple aura surrounding him. All of a sudden, Nappa's power went through the roof!

Before any of the Z-fighters could react or realize the amount of power Nappa was displaying right now, Nappa rushed in, and took off Tien's left arm. Tien screamed in pain, and Nappa was about to take advantage of this, but then Jason kicked Nappa, causing Nappa to lose concentration.

Nappa (after righting himself) looked at Jason, and charged a Bomber DX. Just as he was about to throw it, he was then interrupted by Ramble, who kicked him in the neck, and caused him to miss his target.

As Nappa collected himself, Ramble landed next to Jason. "So, do you have a plan?" he asked him.

Jason just stared at Nappa silently, not even acknowledging Ramble.

"Um, Ja-" "I heard you, you dense monkey. I just simply don't want to talk to you." Jason replied, glaring at Ramble.

Ramble gave Jason a look. "Jason, if we're gonna take down Nappa, I think we're gonna need to- '' Jason ran at Nappa, not even letting Ramble finish.

Ramble sighed. He didn't understand what he'd done to offend Jason, he's just been cold and unfriendly to him since they've met. It was both strange and annoying, since he just wants to talk to Jason. 'Whatever', Ramble thought. 'I should be focusing more on the battle, I'll try to figure this out later.'

With that thought, Ramble chased after Nappa with Jason.

Due to the fact that neither hadn't fought together in combat, their teamwork wasn't the best. As soon as he was in range, Jason went for a kick at Nappa. Nappa simply phased out of the way and Jason accidentally hit Ramble in the face. This left Ramble dazed, and Nappa phased back and punched Ramble into the direction of Jason. Jason just simply phased out of the way, letting Ramble fly right by him. Jason tried to land good blows, going for kicks, punches, palm strikes, anything, but the gap in power and speed was too much.

Nappa eventually caught Jason's hand, disappointed that this was all the human could display, and proceeded to punch Jason in the gut. Jason could feel all of his air exit him. Nappa, taking advantage of the situation, proceeded to grab Jason's head, and threw him in the same direction Ramble went flying to.

'Man...I got my ass handed to me!' Ramble thought to himself. 'Well, guess I'm just gonna need to try a different apro-' Before Ramble could finish his train of thought, Jason came crashing into him, once again, knocking down our saiyan time patroller.

Nappa smirked at what he did, and began approaching Jason and Ramble. But before he could get within 6 feet of them, Yamcha did the Wolf Fang Fist on Nappa, hoping to stop him from approaching his new allies.

Nappa simply turned his head to Yamcha, with a look of annoyance. Yamcha realized that his attack had done nothing to the saiyan. Before Yamcha could react, Nappa quickly charged his Bomber DX, and threw it at Yamcha.

Yamcha, who had no time to think or react, took the full force of the Bomber DX, and couldn't handle the level of power that Nappa was displaying, and passed into the otherworld.

The rest of the Z fighters were shocked and scared, as one of their comrades, friends, had just died before their eyes, just like that.

Tien was scared not for himself, but for Chiaotzu. Chiaotzu couldn't be brought back, so if he died today, he would be gone forever.

"Wait, where is he?" Tien thought to himself, looking around for chiaotzu, who was nowhere to be found.

All of a sudden, Nappa yelled out "HEY! GET OFF OF ME!" to Chiaotzu, who had stealthily grabbed onto Nappa's back. Nappa proceeded to ram his back into the nearest mountain, which hurt Chiaotzu severely, but didn't kill him.

"Chiatzu, what are you doing?!" Tien asked his precious friend. His only response was "Goodbye Tien, if I'm going to die, then it'll be knowing I helped you in some sort of way."

"Wait you're not…" Tien said out loud.

All of a sudden, Chiaotzu started to glow.

"CHIAOTZU, NO!" Tien yelled out.

"Goodbye, Tien." Chiaotzu said, before his kamikaze had gone off.

Tien stood in shock for a few seconds, before calling out to Chiaotzu once more and closing eyes, trying to stop the tears from rolling.

Gohan stood in shock, as he had just witnessed one of his dad's closest friends take themselves down to save them

Krillin looked at the smoke, as he watched as one of his friends died...forever.

Piccolo, despite not knowing Chiaotzu well, still didn't expect the short red-dotted-cheeked human to do such a thing.

Then, he gave a smile, a smile that had only gone to one other person until now."So, he killed himself in order to take down our enemy...I have to say, he's won my respect." Piccolo commented.

"Well, whatever or whoever he was, he was annoying." A voice replied from the smoke

Tien, still holding grief, jerked his head up to see the ghastly sight.

"Heh. What a waste. You all still don't understand, do you…?" the slightly damaged Nappa asked the Z-fighters.

Krillin started trembling. "H-hes barely even scathed!" Krillin exclaimed with fear. "Chiaotzu died for nothing!"

"Listen!" Piccolo yelled. "The instant he attacks is the moment we strike! Got that?!"

"Oh, yes, sounds like a plain indeed." Vegeta replies.

Piccolo turned to glare at Vegeta, wondering what he meant by that.

"What's that look for? You're gonna miss your instant."

"Heh, don't get cocky yet." Piccolo replies. "Goku isn't even here yet!"

"Oh? And who's that? Your secret weapon?" Vegeta asks

"Anyway, YOU'RE ALL NEXT!" Nappa yells, as he charges at broken Tien.

But before he could even reach him, Piccolo elbowed him towards a now present Krillin. Krillin performed a sledgehammer onto Nappa, putting Nappa in a daze.

"GOHAN! NOW!" Piccolo yelled at Gohan. "ATTACK!"

Gohan could only stand in terror, as too much and so much had happened all at once.

"GOHAN! COME ON! DO IT!"

"B-but...I'm scared!" Gohan cried out.

Krillin could only stare in disbelief, while Piccolo had called Gohan a coward.

Then, snapping out of it, Krillin yelled out to Piccolo "We have to do it now!" and drew back his hands to start charging a Kamehameha

Piccolo, turning back to Nappa, fired off his own attack.

Both of the energy attacks sailed towards Nappa, but before it could even collide, Nappa simply phased out of the way.

Piccolo, in frustration, yelled out "Dammit!", and Krillin said "H-he dodged it! We didn't finish it in time!"

Nappa suddenly phased back, looking pissed. "You both just got a lucky shot. Unfortunately, this is the part where I get serious!" Nappa said, as his yellow, electrical arua mixed with his new purple one. "I hope you're ready!"

Tien, shaking with grief, realized even if he was down an arm, he could still do something. So, with what little power he had left, he put his right hand in a triangle position.

Krillin, realizing what Tien was doing, tried to stop him. "Tien, wait! Using that move now is gonna kill you!"

"I'm not letting Chiaotzu's death be in vain! I WILL DO HIM JUSTICE!" and with that, Tien fired off his fully charged Tri-beam, which hit Nappa dead-on.

Tien, after he fired his Tri-beam, could feel himself fading from this world. In confidence that it did at least something, Tien looked up back at the dust that was parting, expecting to see nothing...only to be welcomed with the sight of Nappa that looked mildly annoyed. "That was your last attack? Honestly, even a sabiman could do better than that!"

Tien, falling to the ground, dying, thought to himself, "I've...failed...but at least...I'll see Chiaotzu...again…", and died with that thought before he even hit the ground.

"I-impossible…" Piccolo stated as looked on in fear, looking at the barely phased saiyan.

Gohan was simply scared. Some of the strongest people his daddy had told him about had died just like that. He was scared of whatever this saiyan is

Krillin looked at his fallen comrade in shock. The Tri-beam was the most powerful attack he knew...but it had done nothing against the saiyan.

"A-a nightmare…" Krillin said as he trembled. "This has to be a nightmare…Tenshinhan...everyone..."

In terror, Krillin yelled out loud "GOKU! WE NEED YOU NOW!"
