Reformed Saiyans
Chapter Nine: The Saiyans' Arrival
At nine o'clock in the morning, in the center of East City, a loud whistling noise could be heard before a sudden silence came, a silence that many residents and non-residents of East City would remember for years, decades to come.
A silence, that when the sounds had returned there was nothing but destruction and mayhem. A large crater was generated in the city, and buildings were instantly aflamed, citizens were panicking.
The sound had come from two spherical pods that came crashing from outer space, and in those two pods were two Saiyans, who moments after stood out. Both tall, one bulky and taller than the other with no hair, donning a battle suit similar to Raditz when he'd arrived on Earth although in lighter brown colors.
The shorter one, more slim, with tall spiky hair, wore a blue jumpsuit, white gloves & boots, and a battle chestplate with similar colors to the Bulky's ones.
"I told you we should've restocked our fuel at the last station." The shorter one spoke.
The taller one shrugged. "Well we made it, didn't we?" He pointed out.
The shorter one looked irritated. "Yes." He said through his teeth. "But now look at what you've done." He pointed to the chaos currently ensuing throughout the city. "This could've been a valuable asset to us."
"Sorry, Vegeta." The Bulky one apologised.
The shorter one sighed, and waved his hand. "It's fine. Nothing we can do about it now." Vegeta replied. "I say we should greet them, do you agree, Nappa?" A malicious smirk formed on his face.
Nappa, the bulky one, smirked. "Yes I do." He looked to all the screaming people and lifted two fingers, and caused a controlled explosion that accurately obliterated everything, the entire city, even the land around it, all except them and their own spaceships.
"There. Now if anything, we could get some grass and plants to grow here, and it'll look all good again!" Nappa said cheerfully. "That should help our previous problem."
"Yes, I suppose it should help increase the chances of getting a high value back up a little bit." Vegeta replied. "We'll have to check for any piping or any other structure underground before selling, but after that we should be good to go."
Nappa nodded in agreement. "Yup! Now let's go get those whatever balls."
"Dragon Balls." Vegeta corrected. He was a bit annoyed that Nappa wasn't taking this seriously. "And the first thing we should do is kill that weakling Raditz for treason, and his weakling brother, Kakarot as well." Then something had donned on him. "And another thing, you should've been more careful when you destroyed the city, we probably ruined our chances for immortality."
Nappa raised a brow. "W-What do you mean Vegeta?"
"I mean, if there was a Dragon Ball in the city, you could've destroyed it." Vegeta answered.
"Oh..Sorry Vegeta, I didn't think it through." Nappa replied, feeling guilty, scratching the back of his head. "I promise it won't happen again."
Vegeta sighed. "It's fine, what's done is done. Let's go look for Raditz, and get some answers." He tapped a button on his device and rose up in the air, with Nappa following him. "We'll pick the highest power here, there shouldn't be anyone as strong as him on this worthless planet."
After their devices, the scouters, scanned for energies, there were actually multiple as strong as Raditz, which made Nappa a bit worried and shocked.
"Don't be alarmed, Nappa." Vegeta said, reassuringly. "So now we know why Raditz got his ass kicked, it's still nothing compared to us."
Nappa smirked. "Of course. We'll crush them all!" Nappa then turned a few inches to the right, following his scouter's direction, and a powerlevel of five thousand appeared. Nappa's eyes went wide. "V-Vegeta! There's a powerlevel of five thousand this way!"
"What?!" Vegeta raced to Nappa's side, and tapped the button of his device, to confirm Nappa's readings. "There's actually someone that strong here?!" He pressed once more to confirm this reading.
"These things must be malfunctioning!" Nappa growled.
"Calm down Nappa." Vegeta looked to his comrade. "Clearly, we've underestimated our..friends here." He pressed his scouter once more to view other powers nearby this high level. "Let's see, there's also another similar powerlevel of four thousand and five hundred, and another powerlevel of nine hundred near this five thousand."
Vegeta flared his aura. "We'll go there."
Nappa nodded in response, flaring his aura, and following after Vegeta.
"You feel that, Kakarot?" Raditz asked. He'd stood up from his seat, and looked tense. Goku nodded in response to Raditz's question. "It's time. Get the runt!"
Simultaneously, at Kame House, and two other places, where Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, and Chiaotzu had been at, they'd been alerted immediately from the explosion of their "guests".
Krillin at the Kame House, slipped his gi on, and rushed out of the island house. Yamcha left Capsule Corp, leaving his chat with Bulma hanging, and Tien and Chiaotzu who were off in the mountains, as well had left.
The four gaped in shock and terror, they couldn't believe the Saiyans would be this strong! They thought they prepared enough, but, this power was nearly insane, still they had to try. All four flew as fast as they could without over exerting their energy to the field.
They were not the only ones who'd taken notice, so were many others of the world, residents that were out of town, were shocked to learn their entire city was gone, other cities, other towns, news stations, had all noticed the sudden disappearance of East City.
People all over the world were in panic, thinking that this may be the end of the world, and that some superior lifeform was out there coming to get them all. They weren't entirely wrong, but fortunately for them, there were defenders coming to the planet, which they were unaware of.
Arriving near a grassy wasteland, Raditz, Goku, and Gohan had first met up with Krillin, who tried to make a cool entrance, by coming down with the sun shining behind him.
"Hey Guys!" Krillin smirked. "It's been awhile."
Goku turned to Krillin and smiled. "Krillin! What's up buddy!"
"Nothin much, we'd just gotten back from King Kai's a few days ago." He replied. "And I think you'll be pretty impressed with our results."
"Yeah, I felt a glimpse of it when you guys returned to Earth." Goku said. "You've gotten pretty strong." Goku then noticed Krillin's different gi. "And is that a new gi?"
Krillin nodded. "Yup." He smiled. "King Kai made them for us, really durable too, he said since we've become his students, he wanted us to wear these in our upcoming battle." It was an outfit that somewhat resembles King Kai's outfit, but also their old gis.
There was no undershirt, but the gi itself had thick yellow outlines, and black primary color, with a white & black Kanji Symbol on the left side of the chest that said "King". The pants were shaggy but colored red unlike their old ones. There was also a red sash tied around their waist and the gi. Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu had ones just like it as well, although the sash colors varied, from Green, Blue, & Aqua.
"Nice!" Goku gave a thumbs up.
"Thanks!" Krillin slightly turned his head and noticed Gohan. "And hey, your son is looking a lot stronger too." He waved to Gohan. "Hey Gohan!"
Gohan looked a bit flustered from being complimented. He moved a couple of feet forward, waving back. "Hi Krillin!" He said.
"You're looking a bit taller too!" Krillin added. He looked at Goku. "Hey Goku, how did you get Chichi to be persuaded into letting you train him."
"Uh…I…sort of made a deal…" Goku answered, he gave a sheepish smile and chuckled.
"A deal?" Krillin said. He didn't like the sound of that, making a deal with Chichi…well if it were her maybe years ago when she was younger it'd be different, but now that she's full blown Mother mode? He found that a bit hard to believe it was an acceptable deal. "What'd she make you agree to?"
"After this was all over, she wanted me to drive." Goku replied.
Krillin raised an eyebrow. "Drive? But you can fly, why does she want you to drive?" He asked. Goku shrugged in response. Krillin then turned back to Gohan. "So how was training with your Dad?"
Gohan shrugged. "Well I trained a lot with my Uncle too, but it was good." He answered, not that he was sure how to answer that, cause well it was training what more was there needed to be said. "You're Krillin right?" Krillin nodded in response. "My dad used to tell me you train a lot to make up for your height cause you were too short."
Krillin's smile went to a slight shock and angered face. "Wait, he told you what now." Krillin looked to Goku who began whistling suspiciously and looking away.
"Woo, would you look at the time!" Goku said. He pointed to the sky. "Hey, there's Yamcha!" Goku waved to Yamcha who waved back. "What's up Yamcha!"
"Hey guys!" Yamcha grinned, placing his feet on the ground, near Goku. "How have you been, Goku?"
"Great! I heard your guys' training went well." Goku replied.
Yamcha smirked. "I think you'll be impressed with just how much stronger we got!"
"Counting on it." Goku grinned.
Not long after Tien and Chiaotzu had arrived as well, and had a quick chat, but soon, the two Saiyans, they were waiting to face, had arrived as well not long after Piccolo had arrived.
"They're here!" Raditz announced. He clenched his fist, and embraced himself as they landed on the ground, looking defensive. They looked and were as powerful exactly as Raditz had remembered. Raditz narrowed his gaze on the two begrudgingly.
Both Vegeta and Nappa had smug smirks on their faces as they landed, and looked to see the amount of fighters here. For a short few seconds, it was quiet and tensions were high.
"Look at that Vegeta." Nappa said. "Weakling Raditz got a group of weaklings to back him up! Ahahaha!" He and Vegeta both chuckled maliciously in response to Nappa's joke.
"Yes, and here I thought Raditz would either be dead, and running away like a coward." Vegeta added. "But look at that, he's even got little Kakarot to join him."
Raditz growled, glaring furiously at Vegeta. "I am no coward, Vegeta!" He yelled. "I'll pummel you into the dirt of this planet!"
"Ha!" Vegeta shouted. "That's rich! Even if you're much stronger than you were a year ago, there's no way you've gotten anywhere close to Nappa's power let alone mine!" Vegeta uncrossed his arms, and gave a smug grin.
Raditz scoffed. "We'll see about that." He muttered. He took a stance, and clenched his fists."Let's fight now, Vegeta! You and me!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Eager are we?" Vegeta said. "How about you be patient and wait, I know what your weak ass is capable of, I wanna see the true extent of this…gang you got going here." Vegeta turned to face Nappa. "You still got those Saibamen."
Nappa dug in his pocket to check, and out was this little clear capsule with a separator plate in side. "Yup!" He smiled. "You want me to plant em, Vegeta?"
"Yeah. Use the accelerator too." Vegeta replied.
"Alright." Nappa popped off the lid of the capsule, got down to the ground, and dug six holes with his fingers. He put one at a time a green little sphere, like a circle seed of some sort. Then he took out the metal plate in between and poured some green liquid after burying them. Next, he pulled out a vial of black liquid and poured it on the soil
"Hey, Vegeta, should I just go all out since these are our last saibamen?" Nappa asked. Vegeta nodded in response. Nappa pulled out some circle like pills out of his pocket, they were grey and Nappa crushed them over the dirt. "Good, that should make those Saibamen ruthlessly powerful."
"Assuming that this soil is good, they shouldn't go crazy like last time too." Vegeta added.
"What're they doing?" Krillin whispered.
"Yeah it looks like they're…gardening?" Tien added.
Raditz looked a bit shocked on the other hand. "They're not gardening." He informed. "They're raising Saibamen out of there!"
"Saibamen?" Yamcha said. "What in the world are Saibamen?"
"In short, they're bio warriors, we found, and mutated with Saiyan cells, so they're almost like our own, but because they're nothing but mutated plants, they're not real." Raditz explained. "Normally, there'd be no problems, but somehow, they got their hands on some acceleration chemicals. This might be a little tough."
"Well there's only six of them, we should be okay, shouldn't we?" Chiaotzu asked.
Raditz shook his head. "Sometimes more can be born from one seed, especially if enhancive chemicals are added."
"Well, I think we can take them just fine." Goku said joyfully. After a few more seconds, the Saibamen finally grew out of the ground, and Raditz was right on the money, there were three extra Saibamen, much more powerful than the rest.
The three that were more powerful varied in color and appearance, the other six were nearly the same. Their general appearance consisted of a green colored skin, and alien-like body, with three claws on their stump for hands and feet, as well as a veiny head and pointy ears. Their eyes were red irises and small black pupils.
The three stronger ones were different. One was light purple and blue, its limbs and head was purple, whereas its chest and lower area such as its gut was blue. It's feet and hands were blue, its claws were yellow tinted.
Another was pure black in color, with yellow irises instead of red. The last was pure blue, even it's irises which were a lighter blue.
"This will be a fun game and test to see how well you all compare." Vegeta said. "Since there are about nine here and only eight. One of these Saibamen, I suppose, could stay out until we know where your strengths lie." Vegeta pointed to the black, motioned for him to come here, and stand next to Vegeta.
"A game?!" Piccolo snarled. He'd finally spoken, about time too, he was awfully quiet, most likely because he was irritated to be here. "This isn't a game, this is a battle! I will not indulge in your games!"
"Piccolo's right…" Krillin paused, did he just agree with Piccolo, he shook his head and brushed it off for now. "We're not here to play games, we're here to fight!"
"Come on guys, I think it's fine." Goku said. The others looked a bit surprised. Goku turned to the Saibamen with his signature smirk. "I think it'll be a great warm-up and test anyways."
"Haha! They really think they can beat our Saibamen!" Nappa laughed, he looked at Vegeta. "Isn't that funny?"
"Hiliarious." Vegeta agreed.
Yamcha was feeling confident, he was actually fine with this, and stepped forward. "I'll go first then." He said. "I'd like to get my muscles loose."
"Alright then." Nappa went to one of the Saibamen and at pointed at him. "You. Fight Him."
The Saibamen looked to Nappa before nodding, then it turned back to Yamcha, with it's creepy lookin smile.
Yamcha took his wolf signature stance, and smirked. He knew the extent of its power and it certainly had no chance of beating him and Yamcha was sure of it. One second they were staring quietly at each other, the next vanished into thin air.
Quick movements and clashes could be heard, but Gohan was the one not being able to see it all.
He blinked twice, noticing their sudden disappearance. "Hey where'd they go?!"
"You gotta feel it Gohan." Goku said. "Remember your training."
"R-Right." Gohan stuttered, he took a breath, and focused. Shortly after, he saw the two, and his face lit up. "I see them!"
Around the landscape, the two dashed back and forth. The Saibamen threw a fist but Yamcha evaded, slamming his elbow into the side of it's head. The Saibamen went flying a few feet but quickly stopped itself, only to have been met by a double axe handle on the back of its head.
The Saibaman crashed into the nearby boulder, and as Yamcha made his way to it, it pushed itself back up. It's head split open and shot a spray of liquid at Yamcha. Yamcha reacted quickly, and shield himself, despite not knowing what that is.
"Watch out for that acid!" Raditz shouted. "If you're not careful, it'll melt you!"
Once the acid fell off, Yamcha dropped his shield and he turned to Raditz. "Ya could've mentioned that before you know." Yamcha replied looking unamused, Raditz raised his shoulders in response. The Saibamen tried to charge at Yamcha when he was looking away but Yamcha hurled his fist powerfully into its gut.
Then Yamcha vanished, and the Saibamen darted its head around to try and find him. Yamcha reappeared behind it, and formed a claw with his fist, ramming it into the creature's upper back, and as it crashed to the ground, Yamcha fired a powerful energy wave that struck it when the Saibamen landed on the ground.
Before the dust could even settle, Yamcha had assumed his victory, smirking as he placed his feet on the ground.
"Alright, Yamcha!" Krillin cheered.
"Great Job!" Tien added.
While they were cheering, Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan were studying their movements, notably the Saibamen.
"That one was a piece of cake!" Yamcha said. "I think I'll take on the other eight, you guys don't have to waste your breath."
However, Vegeta and Nappa knew it wasn't dead, Raditz did as well and of course he spoke up. "No you fool!" Raditz yelled. "It's still alive! Look out!" He pointed to it as it tried to latch itself upon Yamcha. However, Raditz knew well where this was going and blasted it into literal pieces before it could.
Yamcha blinked. "Y-You just saved my life!" He said.
"I better not be doing it again." Raditz scoffed. "Next time you're on your own."
Both Vegeta and Nappa look impressed. "Look at that, Vegeta! They actually managed to kill one! A stronger one!"
"Yes they did, didn't they?" He said. "I guess we know now not to let another one versus one happen like that. I say an all out battle now, agreed?"
Nappa nodded. "Attack!" He shouted. Before anyone knew it the rest, including the one that stayed near Vegeta had charged after the group. Piccolo reacted quickly, and somewhat shocking to all, he unleashed a tremendous blast that obliterated four of them.
Piccolo's face looked impassive. "Like I said." He cracked his knuckles. "I'm not here for some silly games!"
Instead of being angered, Vegeta gave a wide grin. "Alright. Since you're so eager to die." Vegeta turned to Nappa. "Nappa. You may."
Nappa looked at Vegeta for a second to confirm what he'd heard, and then turned to Piccolo with a malicious smirk.
"So, Namek, you wanna fight?" Nappa asked.
Piccolo tightened his fist. "Do I look like I'm here to dance?" He asked. Nappa didn't respond. "Let's take this a bit away from here, so that no one can interfere."
"Gladly." Nappa replied.
"Hold on a minute! If you think you're taking the big guy alone, Piccolo! You're wrong." Tien said. "We all didn't train to just watch you try and win this alone."
"Well if you all wanna fight me, then feel free to!" Nappa chuckled.
Piccolo growled. "If you wanna fight him, you'll have to wait your turn." Piccolo said, turning to Tien. "These assholes have gotten in the way of my world domination, and I'll be sure to make at least one of them pay." He narrowed his eyes on Nappa, who was eagerly waiting for his fight.
Tien opened his mouth for a second then sighed. "Fine."
Once Nappa and Piccolo had moved away, although they only moved about half a mile away which took them a few seconds to reach, but once they had moved away, the others continued fighting the Saibamen.
"Alright runt. You're gonna fight one. It'll be a good test of your abilities." Raditz said.
"M-Me?" Gohan pointed to himself. Raditz nodded in response, and Gohan then looked to his father.
"You'll do fine Gohan, this is what we've been training for." Goku smiled, getting on Gohan's level. "Listen, if anything goes wrong, I'll be right here to protect you okay?"
"O-Okay." Gohan smiled. Vegeta was intrigued, he'd only seen a halfbreed once before, but that halfbreed was immediately killed on sight, so to see his capabilities was short lived. Gohan on the other hand was right here, and Vegeta was curious to see how powerful this disgrace of a Saiyan was.
Not to mention that Gohan was merely a young child of five years old. Gohan stepped forward, facing one of the weaker Saibamen, of which there were only two of left. Piccolo had killed four Saibamen, three which were the regular Saibamen, and one that was the variated one. The blue Saibamen no longer existed.
On the battlefield, Piccolo and Nappa took their stances.
"So, I've never fought a Namek before, this'll be my first." Nappa said.
Piccolo raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean Namek?" He asked.
Nappa looked at Piccolo to confirm whether or not he was joking, when he realized Piccolo was serious, Nappa busted out in laughter.
"You've gotta be joking!" Nappa shouted. "You didn't know that you were a Namek? Did you actually believe you were some kind of Earthling?"
Piccolo had to admit he was stunned, he wasn't from Earth? Well he knew that, but like he'd always figured it was something else. His father didn't take the title of Demon King for nothing, at least that's what he thought anyways.
"Does it matter if I'm Namek or Earthling?" Piccolo asked.
Nappa shook his head. "Not really. Nameks are known to be peaceful fighters, their warrior clan died out years ago." He answered. "Though I do hear their natural strength is much more worthy than plenty of other races such as these worthless Earthlings."
"Is that so? Well, in that case…I'll show you what kind of power this Namek has for you!" Piccolo shouted. He bent his elbows and knees, releasing his power, and roaring to the top of his lungs. His aura flared and surrounded him, blazing as Piccolo's power increased dramatically.
The ground beneath Piccolo had trembled, with bits of earth rising up from the ground. After a short moment, Piccolo took his stance again, concentrated his energy into his fist, and rushed after Nappa, who had to admit after being punched in the fact that moment, that namekian could pack a punch.
Nappa was pushed a few feet against the ground, but his balance remained unscathed. Nappa was impressed, he didn't think Piccolo could move that fast either. Nappa decided that he might actually have to use more of his strength.
"Nice shot." Nappa said. He firmly placed his right foot in front and smirked. "Now! Let me show you how I throw a punch." He began to power up as he released a loud growl.
To be continued…
