Dragon Ball Nu
Chapter 11
Will Gohan find Tien in time? Will the Z-Fighters be strong enough to combat the incoming force? How will everyone prepare? Find out this time on Dragon Ball Nu.
Gohan teleports up to the Lookout of Earth to try to find Mr. Popo with the idea that he may be able to help find Tien to assist with the impending attack. "Hello Mr. Popo." Gohan taking a respectful bow to greet Mr. Popo. "I apologize for the suddenness of the visit."
"Hello Gohan, nice to see you. Dende isn't here yet, but what may I help you with?"
"I need to locate Tienshinhan. Can you help me locate him? I know typically the guardian can sense everyone and see everyone on Earth, but I wasn't sure if you would be able to since Dende isn't here."
"I cannot use the guardian ability to see everyone down on Earth, but I may be able to sense his ki even further than you can." Mr. Popo walking to the edge of the Lookout and closing his eyes to feel all the energies of every living creature on the Earth below.
Gohan thinking to himself while Mr. Popo is searching the planet. 'How in the world does Mr. Popo expect to sense energies like that?'
"Ah, I believe I found Tienshinhan. He is with another energy… I believe it is Chiaotzu." Mr. Popo turning back to Gohan who looks completely stunned at Mr. Popo's ability.
"Mr. Popo, how in the world could you sense energies like that? I can sense lots of powers, but my abilities only stretch so far. It is difficult to sense someone suppressing their energy and especially at far distances."
"Young Gohan that is just a gift I was born with. I was born in the Other World and allowed to work as the assistant to the guardian, but wouldn't you like to know where Tienshinhan is located?"
"Absolutely. Thank you for all of your help!"
"Their energies appear to be coming from the Northern Wastelands somewhere in the desert region." Gohan nodding in response. "It was a pleasure to see you again, and I trust we will see you visit again."
Gohan taking a bow of respect. "Yes, thank you Mr. Popo. I appreciate all of your help. Unfortunately I'll have to fly to the Northern Wasteland because I can't sense Tien's ki to teleport to." Gohan shrugging and taking off to the sky. "I hope I can find Tien in time."
Meanwhile at Capsule Corp. Vegeta is training with his son and teaching the basics of fighting techniques.
"Again Trunks. If you want to be a strong warrior you must learn to control your energy better." Vegeta pushing his son who is standing in front of him covered in sweat.
"This would be a lot easier if I could go super too, you know?" Trunks getting frustrated with his father constantly pushing him in combat situations. "Why can't you just teach me that?"
Vegeta scoffing at the idea. "You expect to learn the legendary transformation of the Saiyan race without a strong set of combat skills or any real energy control? No! Trunks, you will learn the basics I was over triple your age before I was pushed far enough to transform."
"You know I'm five years old right Dad?" Trunks trying to make it clear since his birthday recently passed.
"Oh is that so?" Vegeta joking back and smirking. "Well if you're such a man now I tell you what if you land a hit on me in my base form at ten times gravity I will show you more insight on the Super Saiyan transformation."
"Ten times!? Dad, I've only ever trained at five times gravity with you max. How is that fair?"
"I don't want excuses I was training at 50 time's normal gravity before I ever reached the transformation!" Vegeta beginning time to lose his temper with his son. "That's my expectation of you Trunks! Take it or leave it."
Trunks looking frustrated. "Fine. I'll do it…turn up the gravity."
Vegeta smiling to himself, proud of his son's response. Walking over to the computer typing in the commands in order to turn up the gravity from the current setting at twice the gravity of Earth's to ten times the normal gravity. "Alright, Trunks. I will let you first get a feel for the gravity." Vegeta stretching his arms and rotating his shoulders.
"Holy cow. This is so heavy." Trunks trying to walk and using all of his focus just to be able to stand up under the force. "I can barely stand… let alone move."
"Looks like you'll have to focus your energy then." Vegeta looking at his son and feeling slightly impressed that his five-year old son is still able to even stand under the gravity. "Don't worry son I know a child won't fight at this level. Not yet at your age. Even Gohan was almost twice your age before he went Super Saiyan."
"Twice…my…age." Trunks shaking his head trying to ignore his father's voice. "No. I won't accept this limit. Gotta focus my energy." Trunks pushing all of his current power to the surface and beginning to surround himself with a white aura.
"That's it Trunks! That's the way." Vegeta getting fired up from seeing his son putting their training to use.
"I can feel my energy flowing… almost there." Trunks pushing himself to his limits and suddenly losing out on all of his energy and falling to the ground, nearly passing out.
"Trunks!" Vegeta rushing to the computer and turning off the gravity room's effects. Then dashing to attend to his son who is lying face down on the ground. "Trunks." Vegeta picking his son up off the ground.
"Dad?" Trunks waking back up slightly but definitely dazed. "Did I do it?"
"You did well son. I am taking you in to rest." Vegeta walking out carrying his son back to their home as Trunks passes back out in Vegeta's arms. 'It's incredible how far he has come. You will make a strong Saiyan warrior.' Vegeta thinking to himself about his son.
Meanwhile Gohan reaches the Northern Wasteland floating just above the edge of the land.
"Alright Tien, let's see if I can sense you now." Gohan closing his eyes and focusing his energy to sense everything around. "Got him! He is definitely trying to suppress his energy that's why I had so much trouble sensing it." Gohan then using the Instant Transmission to teleport to Tien's energy signature.
Tien and Chiaotzu training in the Wastelands together meditating right as Gohan teleports in where they are. "Uh, hey guys. Long time, no see." Gohan taking Tien and Chiaotzu completely off guard and startling Chiaotzu in the process.
"Gohan!? How did you come from?" Chiaotzu falling onto the ground.
"Sorry Chiaotzu, I didn't mean to startle you. Let's just say I teleported here." Gohan says kind of laughing a little.
"You teleported here?" Tien now opening his eyes and placing his feet back down on the ground below him. "So Goku taught you that Instant Transmission technique while you trained in the Other World?"
"Yes, well kind of. He taught me the basics and I've been practicing it and perfecting it on my own." Gohan quick to change the subject. "I apologize, but I am not just here for a visit. I need your guys help."
"What new threat is coming this time?" Tien making the assumption well-knowing that if Gohan is looking for fighters than something bad is about to happen.
"There is an army coming for Earth. It's Frezia's old army reborn and wanting revenge on the planet that brought an end to Frezia."
"I am not nearly as strong as a Super Saiyan or even as Piccolo. I'm not sure how much help I can be."
"Tien you're a very skilled fighter and we need numbers on our side to fight off a whole army. Right now we have Vegeta, Piccolo, Android 16, Krillin, Android 18, and myself. I think you and Chiaotzu could really just help us to combat more numbers."
"Where is Android 17? He still trying to find his place in the world now that his brother and sister have changed for the better?"
"16 said that Android 17 doesn't want to get involved in any more fights or problems. Good or bad. So he is sitting this fight out."
"I see." Tien looking up to the clear blue sky and feeling the warmth of the sunrays on his skin. "Count me in. I have fought alongside Goku countless times defending what is right. I won't back down now. After all it will give me a chance to test a couple new strategies I have been training with." Tien smiling.
"Awesome! Thank you guys. We are going to meet up at the Lookout in four days."
"See you then. Looks like we have some more training to work on." Tien and Chiaotzu both looking prepared to push themselves.
"I better get to training myself." Gohan closing his eyes and sensing any nearby energies he may be able to teleport to. "I can't sense anyone. Darn, Vegeta and Trunks must've stopped their training. Looks like back to flying it is." Gohan then soaring into the sky leaving a ripple in the sand below from the blast off of his flight.
Meanwhile out in the reaches of space aboard a military spaceship the first wave a squadron head towards our heroes.
"Zuccha, we are going to be the first wave of Bojack's army to touch down are you sure we shouldn't wait for backup before landing to begin our assault?"
"Wait?! Are you kidding? According to the information we have gathered there were during the time of Frieza's invasion four Saiyans on the planet and one Namekian. The rest are humans. We are part of the strongest army in the galaxy. Have some courage Mui-Mui." Zuccha standing in front of a large window at the front of the ship.
"If they have four Saiyans and a Namekian still that only gives us one more member within our squadron. We have ourselves only three Saiyans, one Litt, an Arlian, and myself. Those numbers aren't exactly overwhelming in force." Mui-Mui knowing they are strong but also need to be tactical in method of attack.
"Mui-Mui you have stated before you are strong enough to take a Saiyan one on one. I know Arame and Cardoon can handle themselves against their own race as well. After all I trained them and I am the strongest Saiyan in the entire fleet." Zuccha thinking back to all of their intense training on different planets through the last couple of years. "It's just a shame in the last few years the only other Saiyans we have found are Arame and Cardoon."
"I know you want to rebuild the Saiyan race. Are you going to be able to slay members of your own race who stand in opposition to us on Earth?" Mui-Mui making sure he knows where all loyalties lay.
"Without question. I will rebuild the near extinct Saiyan race on the bones of the old." Zuccha feeling an overwhelming urge to want to fight. "I just can't wait to push myself once again."
"I don't mean to interrupt you two, but a message from Lord Bojack has just been received." Alta, the Arlian race member of the squadron, interrupts as he walks into the room.
"It was nothing important. We will be there shortly." Mui-Mui answering without even looking over his shoulder to look his teammate in the eye. Alta then proceeding to walk out of the room and head back towards the conference room.
"Instead of questioning my loyalty, you should also make sure Alta is on the same page as everyone. I heard rumor his race was nearly wiped out by a pair of Saiyans. If he is going to fight Saiyans on Earth we need to make sure he keeps his mind straight and doesn't try anything too brash." Zuccha now turning around speaking face to face with Mui-Mui.
Mui-Mui thinking to himself then realizing Zuccha is right. "I will talk to him. Leave that to me. In the meantime we should just make sure everyone is prepared for the invasion. Shall we get to the conference room now?"
"After you." Zuccha raising an arm to allow Mui-Mui to take the lead into the conference. The pair walking into the conference room to be met by all of their squadron each sitting in a chair around a table with a large hologram in the center.
"The message is ready to play." Loron the Litt alien on the team speaking up. "Is everyone ready to get started?" All nodding their heads in response around the table.
The hologram an image of Kogu standing begins to play. "Squadron 5 you are to be the first unit to touchdown on Earth, but you are not to begin any confrontations until back-up for your unit arrives."
Zuccha clinching his fists in anger at the message and pausing the hologram. "This is completely ridiculous they spend over two years pushing and training our team to have us be told to wait at the finish line." Zuccha thinking back to all of the intense fights and travels. "After all we have been through. Nearly dying several times, and this the respect we get." Zuccha beginning to show his energy which is rushing out of his body.
"Zuccha, calm down." Mui-Mui trying to speak some sense into Zuccha. "Remember what happened the last time you lost your temper?" Mui-Mui remembering Zuccha transforming after an extreme outburst in anger about a year ago. "Save it for Earth."
'So much energy and Zuccha is holding back his power. The power of these Saiyans are just ridiculous.' Alta thinking to himself and just wondering how far Zuccha's power could go. Shaking his head and then clicking the hologram to let it start playing again for everyone.
"The back-up coming to assist your unit is actually Lord Bojack's head unit. We are coming to Earth ourselves, and we hope to use our combined strengths to eliminate any remaining threat to our empire.
Zuccha thinking to himself about his past. 'It's obvious they don't trust us to take care of this job. After everything we have done… everything I've been through. The Makayans exiling me after discovering I was a Saiyan and then killing the family that raised me in cold blood. Being isolated and forced to survive completely alone. Fighting then tooth and nail just to be taken away from that frozen wasteland and pushed to my absolute limits. Time and time again I've proven myself. I will become strong enough to finally take control of my own future.'
Will our heroes be ready for the incoming invasion? Will the incoming squadron be too much for the Z-Fighters to handle? What will the arrival of Bojack and his team mean for Earth? Find out next time of Dragon Ball Nu.
