Vision was hazy, body weakened, and confusion set into the little green alien known as Guldo. His four eyes blinked as the light seemed bright. It was strange. They were all fighting some strange girl, when suddenly everyone began to drop. His own body felt heavy in an instant, and couldn't do anything for a short time. With a shake of his head, clearing his mind he looked around. Captain Ginyu and the others were still on the ground, and showed no sign of waking either. His gaze flashed to see that the girl was laid to the ground as well. A smile on his face as he stood, feeling his strength slowly returning to him. "Make fools of us. Now you're in the perfect position for me to finish you. I wont even need the others to help me." The small green man chuckled as his hand lifted. A light post ripped from the ground, his eyes turned to it as the metal bent and twisted into a jagged spear with a sharp point. "Bonus, you look a lot like the woman that beat me before. Which means I can count this as revenge!" Guldo's hand swung downward to make the killing coup de grace.
A beam fired from down the road, hitting the spear off course enough to make the death stroke turned into a pole in the road. Guldo's eyes widened before he turned with a growl. His gaze turned to a figure that stood in the distance. A short white skinned person lowered his own eyes to meet the frog like alien. The cold eyes stared at him; an old formal green dress worn by the warrior with the word of Crane stitched to the front. Guldo not noticed this person hovered only inches from the ground, allowing the being to oddly just shift his body without moving closer. Guldo growling as he shifted his hands forward, only to stop suddenly as the being pointed to him.
Chiaotzu and Tien had come into town to gather supplies with some of their students, as well as to allow their students test themselves against Ox School and show respect to other masters. Tien had suddenly fallen over, as did Chiaotzu for a short time. But the pale warrior had felt a moving Ki and a violent one. He had shown up just in time to stop Chichi's only daughter to lose her life. "Good thing I made it in time." Chiaotzu's gaze turned to the other men in the same armor, recognizing it as battle armor that the saiyans used and that Bulma made into her own.
Guldo groaned as he felt his body felt tied down, but recognized the power was a lot like his own. He focused his mind, a blueish aura wrapped around his body before he finally broke Chiaotzu's hold. The pale warrior caught unaware someone could easily break his hold in such a way. Guldo sucked in air, and disappeared. Chiaotzu's senses screamed behind him, and leapt forward as Guldo went in for a kick. The alien attempted to use his time stop ability and found himself unable to make contact, which made the green alien take a hue of red. Chiaotzu pointed his finger to the green alien, and fired a blast as a response.
Guldo simply sucked in air once more and froze time once more, the beam stopped before his chest. He cursed that he could not manipulate anything but himself during the time stop. And this small being showed the same abilities as the woman, but not as quick. He was not about to be tricked once again. He simply shifted to the side, gathered energy in his hands. With a roar, Chiaotzu noticed he missed and caught by surprised by an energy blast already launched for him. His first instinct was to take to the air, but he was caught in something in the same instance. Guldo's attack hitting its mark this time and Chiaotzu called out in pain. Guldo smiled as he began to fire rapid blasts to keep up the damage.
Chiaotzu looked at the wall of energy that came forward as he regained his position. His mind instantly thought of the town around him and knew that much of it would be hit as well. Instead he brought out both his hands and pointed out with his index fingers. "Double Dodon Barriage!" From both fingers, small blasts of energy fired as he worked to connect with each blast fired. Small explosions that were kept at bay Guldo's attacks, as Chiaotzu slowly brought the blasts closer to Guldo and able to focus fire to the smaller alien.
"Recoome Knee!" Chiaotzu had a sudden knee connected into his side, launching the small warrior back. A blue blur ran past him, as the white skinned warrior as a snap kick against his head force his body into a spin before he collided into the ground. An orange warrior overhead with a massive ball crashing down onto the smaller body.
"You guys finally got up huh!" Guldo complained as he was just saved in a few moments before he was taken out. "I had to hold the guy off while you were all napping."
"Yay, it looked like you were in some trouble there. But don't worry little dude. We don't let our own die so easily." Recoome mocked slightly as he looked to the crater that held the body of the warrior. "Think he is finished."
"Last time we underestimated someone, well some of us died. So, you know what I think?" Burter said as he landed next to Recoome.
Jeice landed soon beside him. "Kill him anyway, just to make sure." The second in command spoke with a smile.
"Sounds fine by me. I will hold him still, you all rain hell." Guldo grinned as Chiaotzu's body was wrapped in a blue aura. The three other ginyu forces held up a palm with their energy gathering.
Tien appeared before each of the Ginyu force fighters, a multi form with a red aura on each wrapped around each one. Striking his hand out to force the blasts of energies to be sent to the sky, followed by a hard blow to the chest and sending the four back into each other. A fifth multiform clone appeared above with his hands together as if in prayer, then forward with a triangle between his palms. "Kikoho!" He focused a minor amount of energy and fired down into group to force them to suddenly bounce off the ground more than anything. "Time to play!" The other clones all loudly announced as they clasped their hands together. "Game." The rushed forward, appearing under the each other them to knock each of them in the air. "Set." The clones launched themselves up and slammed into the guts of each enemy to send them higher into the sky. "Match!" The four clones vanished; overhead double hand chopped into each of the Ginyu's forces backs. The four force's members slammed back into the ground as the clones of Tien all merged back with the original. The human huffing lightly as splitting and risking Kaioken was a bit more than he was prepared for today.
"Damn, he hits pretty hard." Recoome said as he stood up, shaking his head. "Sneak attacks are not very appreaciated."
"Right! Recoome, Burter. Let's make him pay." Jeice growled as two balls of energy formed in his hands. He did not wait to long as he began to throw orb after orb of burning fire like orange energy. Recoome breathed in as he built up Ki in his throat. "Eraser gun!" the large man roared before firing it straight up toward Tien.
Tien shifted his hands to knock away the blasts that raced to him, but saw the massive blast coming. With the sting of his hands from each deflection, he was sure that the blast would do some heavy damage. Instead he shifted his position, only to be caught by the blue blur himself. Rapid punches from the quick blue alien smacked into his jaw, chest, ribs and neck in what felt like a split second, only for a kick to knock him into the end of Recoomes attack.
Tien growling as he was still standing but now he was one on four, and did not have the element of surprise. As he attempted to defend himself, but with Guldo's psychic powers hindering his movements and combination of team work, he soon found himself barely holding himself up. Each time he moved to strike, his body would freeze and the open guard let in a heavy blow. Chiaotzu was down from the heavy hits, the fighter much more accustomed to distance fighting. Tien could feel more Ki begin to spring up all around them, he could not understand what was going on.
"You boys look like you're having fun." Ginyu spoke as he finally stood, shaking the daze from his head. "He most likely isn't our target, but let us finish him off before he gets to much of a problem. Guldo, kill the other one. You three finish the three eyed warrior."
"Yes, Captain." The Ginyu Force spoke with high moral, knowing their captain was back.
"As for you." Ginyu looked down as he stepped on top of Ashe's back. The half saiyan winced as she was still regaining her strength. "I will finish you now. This is what you get for making a fool of the Ginyu Force." His palm wrapped in energy.
"Screw you." Ashe was able to growl out, she attempted to push herself up. Instead her body shook as strength was still slowly being reclaimed.
"Not the finest last words." Ginyu grinned.
"Hands off my daughter!" came a suddenly roar. "Ox Stampede!" Chichi burst forward, through a building. The enraged warrior mother's knee connected with Ginyu's face. The purple captain's leg grabbed the instant he began to launch away. Her hand clasped onto his face with a sudden grasp, twisting her hip and threw him head first into the road like a spike. His legs hanging in the air long enough for him to get kicked and dragged through the ground.
"Captain!" Jeice called out, only for him to see Recoome's body launched forward. "Recoome!?" the alien's gaze turned, only to watch as the Burter's body collided with his own. Unaware of the appearance of other warriors.
"You come into my home, after I left you all for dead. And this is the thanks I get for not tormenting you." Vegeta's voice called down with a smirk. "Ashe, get up. You're not that weak." His voice snapped to an order to his daughter. Ashe growling back as she pushed herself to her feet.
"I got the green guy." Geta held up Guldo's unconscious body, tossing it into the standing Recoome hard enough to make the red headed juggernaut to slide back. "Looks like we got this in the bag.
"Geta, don't get careless." Chichi yelled at her son, straightening her dress. "It is not even a combat day! I picked this outfit because it looks good on me and everything."
"Shows that you should always be prepared for battle." Vegeta grinned.
"Don't you start, or you will be feeling the next kick." Chichi pointed at her husband, Vegeta turned his head but held his smirk.
"What do we do with them?" Ashe asked looking at the group of warriors now out numbered and outclassed by many fighters. But she was also confused on why each of the warriors felt like their Ki's were hindered. It almost felt like they were all forced into a more equal amount of Ki, some sort of law of averages.
"We kill Ginyu, and question the others." Nappa spoke, landed to the ground as Ginyu pulled himself out of the ground.
"What? Why?" Tien asked, unaware of Ginyu's ability to switch bodies. "Why only him?"
"He can change bodies, just by saying it." Nappa explained with his hand raised to Ginyu.
The captain had to attempt, before Nappa could prepare an attack. He took position and pointed himself to the giant Saiyan. "Cha-" Ginyu had started to speak, but before he could complete his technique a Ki blade stabbed into his throat. His eyes turned to Ashe, the young girl's hand outstretched and showed they knew the same techniques as the Armorer Cooler squadron.
Ashe felt dizzy the moment she summoned up her Ki, forced to her knee in the moment. Summoning her own Ki felt like a chore, and she wondered how everyone else was already use to it. That and how Geta was moving so easily. Was she truly lacking in power?
"Save your energy, and let's get to asking the proper questions." Tien spoke. The human huffed as he tried to regain his strength from the difficult fight.
"Tien." Chichi suddenly called out. "Thanks for sending your students to wake us. We might not have had a chance to get here if they didn't show up."
"Not my doing." Tien spoke as he turned to look at Chiaotzu. "Chiaotzu sent some of the students to me as well. I was getting supplies for repairs, while he was getting lunch with the students. It was only because of him that any of us were able to make it in time."
Geta looked to the white skinned warrior, the weaker warrior gained a bit of respect from the teenage warrior. Lowering himself into the crater to pick up Chiaotzu and bringing him out. Vegeta and Nappa instead kept an eye on the remaining forces members, the giant saiyan cracked his knuckles as he was ready to start the interrogation.
The first battle has been settled, but even a small fight like this seemed difficult. What does this mean for future fights? Let us find out in the next chapter!
