Chapter 8 – The Saiyans Arrive / Hurry Kakarot

Bulma wasn't much of a bragger of sorts, but if it wasn't for the dragon radar they would still be hunting down the rest of the dragon balls right at this moment. After obtaining the ones from Kakarot's house, it took maybe a month's tops to find the remaining three. Now the only thing that was left to was to wait until Kakarot could be brought back.

During this time Bulma had tinkered with scouter, and that was it. Everyone was so busy training that she barely saw anyone. She did see Raditz before he went off to kami knows where to train. He did mention about Kakarot and how she was training in otherworld with someone in preparation for the saiyans. She didn't get a chance to ask about what he was doing for training, due to the fact he up and left just like that. Raditz could sometimes be very blunt when it came to giving news about stuff.

After he had left she had nothing left to do, but wait. Right about now she was sitting at the coffee table at Kame House listening to the clock tick not too far from her. Roshi had gone in the bathroom not too long ago doing whatever business he did in there. Bulma shuddered at the thought especially when she saw the questionable magazine in hand as he went in. Then out of no where, she heard him talking to himself. Bulma blinked a few times her eyes turning towards the bathroom door. Right now, she felt like running for the hills, it wasn't until she heard him say Kakarot that made her slightly curious.

'What, or better yet, who is he talking to' Bulma thought in mild confusion as out of no where Roshi burst out of the door with his pants around his ankles looking slightly scared. That was not an image Bulma was going to soon forget.

"Get the dragon balls! We have to wish Kakarot back NOW," Roshi practically shouted at her making the blue haired beauty jump in surprise, "The saiyans are arriving earlier then what was anticipated."

Bulma quickly stood up and got to collect the dragon balls, which she had stashed in a drawer to keep safe. To her this was unreal, she only hoped that Raditz and the others knew what was happening.

Raditz had been at it for months in the cold wasteland of the arctic training till he was numb from the pain and cold. The harsh environment, he considered, would be the most suited to train in, because saiyans who were training to be planet hunters were usually thrown into such environments to make them stronger and more resistant to the elements. He gave a sigh as he thought of his sister. If he was not mistaken Kakarot was suppose to be revived any day now. Raditz was relieved to say the lease, but he was scared shitless. What if her revival was only to send her back to the afterlife? He shivered slightly at the very thought only to snap out of it as the sky for no reason went dark as night.

Raditz blinked in confusion as he looked up. 'Strange. The only reason the sky would suddenly go dark is if Bulma…' he thought only to his eyes widen in realization. A curse escaped his mouth as he leaped off the glacier he had been occupying locking onto his niece's ki signature. He knew. He instantly knew if Bulma had summoned the dragon now that meant the saiyans were here!

Bulma had gathered the dragon balls up and placed them down just outside of the house as she took a calming breath. The eternal dragon was quite an intimidating fellow and even though she had seen him a few times in the past, he was still scary to her. Putting her arms out in front of her, she spoke the words to summon him.

"Shenron. I command you to rise," she shouted as the dragon balls glowed brightly, the sky blue turning into pure darkness as a stream of light burst forth from the mystic items.

Forming like a long snake with green scales, and large pure red eyes was none other then Shenron himself. His long body twisting and curling around in loops and curls as he settled down from the transformation.

"I am the eternal dragon state your wish and I'll….," the dragon began only to go deadly silent.

Out of the people who could have summoned it just had to be these people! "Oh. It's you…. Can't anyone else find these damn things," Shenron boomed in mild annoyance. Making Bulma and the others jump in surprise.

"Fine. Whatever! What do you people want?"

Bulma took a small step forward as she spoke her wish.

King Kai was beyond impressed with how fast the female saiyan had grown in such a short time span. For her to get use to the gravity in both her movements and hits he had her catch Bubbles. Kakarot did mention that she had been on a planet 2x of earth's own gravity which would explain why she could catch the monkey in half the time he expected her to. She had then been tasked to hit a cricket, named Gregory, on the head with a hammer. Now that was much more difficult then catching a simple monkey. Never the less, she had done it.

With that he had taught her two of his most powerful techniques, kaio-ken, and spirit bomb. And here she was now doing last minute training before her revival in a day or so. Until, he suddenly felt two large energies extremely close to earth. Kakarot had noticed the man's tense posture had stopped her training to look over at him in mild confusion.

"King Kai? Is there something wrong," she asked slowly as he looked as though he had seen a ghost.

"The saiyans. There practically here," he spoke quietly making Kakarot jump in surprise saying "WHAT" extremely loudly.

"How is that possible? I mean my uncle said they wouldn't arrive for a year," Kakarot spoke in mild panic. King Kai had to think. Kakarot needed to tell someone from the 'other side' so she could be brought back right at this moment.

"Kakarot. Put your hand on my shoulder and I should be able to make contact to someone on Earth," King Kai began, "You don't have much time. It was by only a miracle I was able to train you fully."

Thus, the time to act was now! As she placed a hand on his shoulder a feeling of dread washed over her. Would Gohan and Raditz still be alive by the time she got back?

Whenever their space pods landed, Vegeta was not at all impressed with the planet. For one thing, it was filled to the brim with such weaklings. Just a simple ki blast could send any of the gawking insects into a pile of ashes. 'And Turles was killed by some of them. Pathetic' Vegeta thought as he and Nappa floated above the city in which they landed in.

Nappa had decided he had enough of the gawks and stares, so he decided to blow the city sky high. With a flick of his wrists the city and all residents were turned into nothing, but a smoldering crater. Vegeta simply rolled his eyes at Nappa's so called 'display' of power. This display was pathetic to say the lease. Vegeta would've destroyed the entire continent instead of such a meaningless thing as a city.

"Oops, looks like I over did it a little," Nappa spoke a sinister smile on his moustachioed face.

Vegeta didn't get a chance to retort back at Nappa's cockiness, because his scouter beeped off signaling that there was, in fact, some slightly worthy opponents. A smirk crossed both their faces as they blasted off to the source of the power levels. 'It seems this planet won't be as dull as I thought' Vegeta thought.

Not too long after the sky had become clear and blue again, the Z fighters had met up in a mountainous area. Even though Gohan was happy to know her mother was back in living, she couldn't help but feel dread. The only reason that Kakarot was revived meant one thing, the saiyans had arrived.

"If Kat is back. That means…," Ataashi started only to die out when she felt two extremely powerful kis heading straight for them.

Everyone's head snapped upwards as the two individuals with the powerful kis flew into the scene. One of them was a huge bald man with a moustache. He wasn't the one to truly worry about, it was his comrade. The other man was much smaller in stature and had hair that resembled flames. Both had scouters on their faces and strange armor. Both smirking down at the group with pure malice.

It was strange to Gohan, she couldn't help, but stare at the smaller man with a sense of mild familiarity (Note: Saiyan Children can have recognize of their parents whether they have met them or not). She simply shook her head at thought. She had never seen, nor met, this man in her entire life. Yet, she couldn't help, but feel as though he knew him from somewhere.

'Please mommy hurry….'

(Okay folks! Here ya go! Apologies for taking a while I was out of town and had some writer's block. Next Chapter will be the fighting so be ready for that!)
