Reformed Saiyans

Chapter Eleven: A Monstrous Power

Raditz and Vegeta charged simultaneously towards each other, hurling their fists as it collided against each other, before immediately exchanging several blows, and vanishing from one area to another.

"They're moving so fast! I can barely see them!" Gohan said.

Krillin's eyes were wide. "Y-yeah! Even I can't see the-..." Krillin whipped to the right, noticing another energy come back. "What the…"

Goku took notice, and tilted his head. "What's the matter, Krillin?" He asked.

"That energy. It feels like that brute's energy." Krillin answered. "I thought Piccolo took care of him!"

Goku took a second to confirm Krillin's worries, and had too felt the energy. "Yeah that's strange." Goku said.

"I'll go check it out and make sure everything's okay then." Krillin replied. "You guys shouldn't need me right now, right?" Goku nodded in response. "Alright then!" Krillin flared his aura, and began to float.

"Wait." Goku said. Krillin turned his head around, and saw a few senzu beans in his hand. "I almost forgot, here take these, Piccolo will need a senzu bean, and you guys should make sure to have some yourself."

"Are you sure Goku?" Krillin asked. "Those are the last three senzu beans." Once again, Goku nodded in response, and Krillin took the three beans before taking off.

With a powerfully charged attack, Nappa hurled himself at Tien, aiming to break his arm, but Tien ducked, evading Nappa's punch, and then countered by kicking Nappa in the gut. Nappa was sent flying into the sky, and as he made his recovery, another strike had been given to him.

Yamcha cupped his fists, and struck the back of Nappa's head, sending Nappa plummeting back down. As Nappa hit the ground, Chiaotzu had fired a Dodon Ray at the same time, to maximize Nappa's impact.

After a short couple of seconds, and the dust settled, Nappa stood up again, getting increasingly angry.

"Damn trash! They shouldn't even be capable of touching me!" Nappa thought angrily. He eyed the three, looking to see who was easiest, once his eyes fixed on Chiaotzu, a smirk formed on his face. He took the small guy as an easy target, and darted to Chiaotzu, bashing his shoulder against the red-cheeked Earthling.

Chiaotzu had no time to react, and was knocked to the ground. As Chiaotzu tried to stand back up, Nappa had his hand raised gathering yellow energy, Chiaotzu's face went pale, fearing the worst. Fortunately for Chiaotzu, Tien had knocked Nappa out of the way, launching a fist into Nappa's cheek, a knee to the gut, and an fist to Nappa's jaw.

When Tien went for a final blow, doing a spinning back kick, Nappa caught Tien's leg, and spun rapidly. Yamcha had tried to come in and save Tien, but the winds Nappa had created were already getting immensely strong as Nappa spun faster and faster.

Once Nappa released Tien, causing Tien to crash through several rock formations as he went further into the sky, Nappa darted to Tien, kicked Tien in the head, sending Tien plummeting back to the ground, through the same rock formations but creating new holes.

Then Nappa unleashed a volley of energy blasts towards Tien way yet Tien recovered, and bounced away from the area, dodging the volley of energy blasts that chased after him. Nappa chased after Tien, flying rapidly, but Yamcha came from above, and struck him in the back with his foot.

Nappa flew back, impacting against a nearby boulder. He broke free from the rubble a few seconds later, taking a second to catch his breath, he eyed the three once more. "I shouldn't be having this much trouble with these weaklings!" Nappa growled. "I'll kill them all if its the last thing I do!"

Nappa darted to Tien, slamming his fist against Tien's jaw, and this time he reacted quickly to Yamcha who tried to swing his foot, Nappa jumped back, then thrusted his fist into Yamcha's gut, causing Yamcha to fall to his knees, gasping for air.

Chiaotzu tried to use his telekinesis to throw a massive tree at Nappa but Nappa had caught the tree.

"Thanks for the weapon!" Nappa shouted, as he moved his grip around to hold the tree like an enormous sword. Nappa slammed the tree against Chiaotzu, sending Chiaotzu flying and his cap to fall off of his head. Chiaotzu screamed as he collided against a massive boulder.

Tien's eyes went wide on the sight, he gritted his teeth and growled, glaring at Nappa. "You monster!" He yelled. Tien clenched his fists, bent his elbows and knees, charging his energy. The ground beneath him trembled, chunks of earth, larger chunks, broke free from the ground, floating mid air.

Winds swirled and raged around Tien, his veins bulged, as his power began to rise. "This ends here!" Tien shouted. "Kaaaaiiiiooooo! KEN!" His aura suddenly turned red, and his muscles pumped. Nappa had no time to even understand what was happening, and suddenly a powerful fist was pushed into his gut.

"Tien no!" Yamcha shouted. Despite his warning, Tien had already acted, unleashing this brand new technique. "Damn it! He's gonna burn himself out!"

Nappa bounced half a foot up, and then fell to his knees, coughing a mixture of blood and saliva that erupted from his body. A small stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth after, and Nappa became slightly dizzy.

"H-How…" Nappa thought. He couldn't even speak, struggling harshly for air, he continued to gasp. "This…isn't possible!" His thoughts were clouded by the intense pain and anger that continued to flood his mind. It'd all happened in such a short moment, and it only got worse, next was knee to the face, which caused him to go flying yet again, then a cupped fist to the back of his neck.

After the last hit, Tien turned his new technique off, panting heavily, he could feel his muscles somewhat strained, but the result was worth it, Nappa's energy had dropped immensely, about any one of them could obliterate him with not much.

Tien flew over to find Chiaotzu, and luckily, Chiaotzu was fine, the attack had only slightly injured the Earthling.

"Are you okay Chiaotzu?" Tien asked.

Chiaotzu nodded. "Yeah I'm fine Tien, thanks!" He smiled happily.

Tien sighed with relief, wiping the sweat off of his forehead. "Good. For a second there I thought he actually got you."

Chiaotzu then noticed the strain on Tien's ki signature. "Tien…You didn't use the Kaioken technique did you?!"

"I did." Tien said he looked a bit ashamed.

"You know King Kai told us not to use it!" Chiaotzu gasped. "We could burn ourselves out."

"Yeah Tien! You know better than that!" Yamcha added, as he approached the two. "King Kai said unless it was an emergency to not use it! It could do more harm than good!"

Tien grumbled. "You're right. I'm sorry." Tien said. "I wasn't thinking straight, I felt that other Saiyan's energy earlier, and I panicked a bit."

Yamcha and Chiaotzu both looked surprised. "You panicked?" Yamcha asked.

Tien averted his gaze, nodding in response. Yamcha sighed. "Oh well, it's no big deal. At least you didn't use the times three, that would've been more of a problem. You rest for now, we'll make sure this punk is taken care of."

"Right." Tien replied. He lowered himself to a nearby tree where some shade was. Yamcha was right, what was he thinking, Tien rubbed his forehead, perhaps he didn't get as good a rest as he thought he did? Or maybe it was some form of PTSD when he fought Piccolo, all those years ago?

Tien decided to brush it off for now, there was nothing to worry about at the moment, and as if Krillin couldn't have been any better with timing, he'd arrive, with the senzu beans too!

"Tien!" Krillin said. He floated over to Tien. "Phew! I was worried for a second there, your energy doubled for a moment, then dropped back down, it gave me a scare." He chuckled.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Tien replied. "You got any senzu beans?"

Krillin nodded. "Yup." He handed one to Tien. "Here ya go." Tien took the bean, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it after chewing it. A short moment later, his body returned to normal, but his ki did not. "So was that the Kaioken technique you used earlier? Was it that bad?"

Tien shook his head. "I…might've overreacted a bit."

Krillin looked confused, and furrowed his brow. "Overreacted? That's…odd..you never overreact."

Tien shrugged. "I guess I just didn't rest as well as I hoped I did. Sorry."

"Ah that's okay!" Krillin smiled. "It seems that the big guy is all taken care of. At this rate, I think we're gonna win just fine!" Krillin then looked over to Piccolo. "I'm gonna give a Senzu Bean to Piccolo, I'll be right back."

Breaking free from the rubble, barely able to push himself out, Nappa flinched from the intense body that was sent throughout his entire body.

"How…How did I get beat!" Nappa looked furious. "With three attacks like that! It shouldn't be possible! He can't be that strong!" Nappa tried to clench his fist, but couldn't, then in the corner of his eye he saw something that shocked him. Krillin was giving Piccolo a strange green bean, and upon eating the bean, Piccolo's injuries and energy was restored.

Nappa looked shocked. "What the?! I was sure he was exhausted!" Nappa gasped. "He got healed by eating a green bean?! What in the hell kind of bullcrap is that!" Nappa gritted his teeth angrily as tried to stand back up. He didn't want to believe nor admit it, but he was getting his ass handed to him, and he needed something to take them down.

An idea did form in his mind, but Nappa immediately scrapped it. "No. I shouldn't need that yet, it'd be stupid to have to go ape on these scumbags!" Nappa thought. He moved his gaze to Chiaotzu. "I still have enough energy to take at least one of them out! That small one should be easy enough but that triclops is protecting him!" Nappa moved his gaze to Tien.

Nappa reconfirmed his thoughts, thinking this thoroughly this time. "Damn it, I don't have a choice…unless…yes…that bald monk! He must have another one of those beans!" He thought. However, before he could plan to even figure out how he'd get it from Krillin, Yamcha stood in his way.

Nappa scowled at Yamcha, remaining silent.

"So you can still stand, huh?" Yamcha said. "You're a lot tougher than I gave you credit for, but you're finished now!" Yamcha rushed after Nappa, hurling a fist, however Nappa fired a blast, which Yamcha had to dodge, and when Yamcha looked back, Nappa was gone.

There was only dust around the area, Yamcha searched for his energy and fired a blast in that direction, but then it was gone. From the rock formations, Nappa fired several blasts to cause a massive amount of dust, which made it a little more difficult for Yamcha to find him.

After some quick searching, Yamcha locked on, rushing to Nappa who was trying to sneak up on Krillin, slamming his foot into Nappa's gut. Nappa once more fell to his knees, gasping for air.

"H-How….H-How did you f-find me s-so quickly!" Nappa snarled.

"I sensed your energy." Yamcha smirked.

Nappa's eyes went wide. "What?! They can sense energies without a scouter?!" Nappa looked to the ground. "These scumbags have a useful technique like that?!"

"You're done for now, give up." Yamcha said.

"What?!" Nappa yelled.

"Give up." Yamcha repeated. "You can't do anything to use, we've beaten you, most of us still have plenty of energy but you, you're all exhausted, and too bruised to fight anyways."

"I am a Saiyan Warrior! The Saiyan General! I will not give up!" Nappa yelled. "Others beg for mercy from me! Not the other way around!"

Yamcha raised his shoulders. "Welp your loss." Yamcha kicked Nappa's jaw, yet again sending him flying, then darted in the air, above Nappa, and jetted down, slamming his foot into Nappa's gut as he pushed Nappa against the ground.

Nappa then fell unconscious, and after Yamcha made sure he was knocked out, he decided to regroup with the others.

"Did you take care of him?" Krillin asked.

Yamcha nodded. "Yeah, I did, there wasn't much left of him, so he's all tuckered out if ya know what I mean." Yamcha laughed.

"Are you saying you didn't assure the opponent's demise?!" Piccolo yelled.

"If you mean kill him, yes." Yamcha answered. "I didn't kill him."

"Idiot! He could come back and kill us all! He may be beaten, but we have no idea what kind of techniques or powers he could have!" Piccolo scolded.

"That guy was all about his brute strength, it was fine." Tien pointed out. "Besides, that is not how we do it."

"You're all sounding like Goku right now!" Piccolo yelled. "Too soft-hearted and pathetic! Fine have it your way, if you all wanna risk your own lives go for it, but don't come crying to me after I warned you!"

Piccolo took off in a fury, heading Goku and Raditz's direction, most likely to watch the other battle. While the four discussed what they were going to do with Nappa.

"So uh…now what?" Krillin said. "I mean, Piccolo's kinda right, I'm not saying we should kill him, but it could come back to haunt us if we just leave him here."

"What? Noooo, that guy can't do crap, he's too weak, I broke his back on that last strike." Yamcha replied. "In fact, he should be incapicitated."

"What if he transforms into an ape like Goku did?" Chiaotzu suggested.

That whole thought made the others shudder and shake. "I guess we should cut off his tail then, that way we won't have to worry." Tien said.

"Yeah, thanks Chiaotzu, that would've sucked!" Krillin added. "I could only imagine how strong their ape forms are!"

Without wasting more time, the four flew over to where Yamcha had knocked Nappa out, but he wasn't there.

Yamcha scratched the top of his head. "That's odd." He said. "I know this is where he landed!"

"You don't think he woke up do you?!" Krillin asked.

Yamcha shook his head. "No that can't be possible, maybe I'm remembering it wrong."

"Then we search this whole area, agreed?" Tien suggested.

"Agreed!" The other three nodded. They all searched around the area, up high and low in the ground, but couldn't find him. It was strange, almost as if he was taken away by the grim reaper.

After a moment of colliding and clashing blows, Raditz and Vegeta stepped away from each other, gaining some distance.

Vegeta formed a wide smirk. "Alright. You have gotten stronger, a lot stronger." He said. "In fact, I might just be willing to give you your old job back!"

Raditz scoffed. "In your dreams! I refuse to work for you ever again!"

"Are you sure?" Vegeta asked.

Raditz could take the offer, he could take it, and maybe Vegeta would start respecting him a little more, and possibly get a better position in the Frieza Force, be pardoned from all these crimes, but yet, Raditz knew well that would never happen. He already made his mind up, and while he may have not been sure of a lot of things, he was sure about this.

Raditz powered up, flaring his aura. "Take that offer of yours and shove it up!" Raditz rushed to Vegeta, landing a fist against Vegeta's jaw, then as Vegeta plummeted down, Raditz fired several red energy blasts, aimed at Vegeta. "Monday Blitz!"

The blasts caused an array of explosions that quickly merged together, creating one massive explosion, however it didn't take long for Vegeta to have already disappeared from the area, reappearing behind Raditz. Vegeta hurled a fist at Raditz, but Raditz had quickly sensed his new location, ducking, then with both of his hands he took the ends of Vegeta's pants, gripped it tightly and lifted up, causing Vegeta to flip over.

Raditz swiftly slammed his elbow into Vegeta's chest, sending Vegeta plummeting to the ground, but Vegeta stopped himself on a nearby rock formation, landing on his feet. Quickly, he looked to find Raditz, with his scouter, however Raditz's location vanished.

"Damn it. They can mask their energies." Vegeta thought. He grabbed his scouter and crushed it. "No need for this I guess." Vegeta glanced around looking for Raditz, before finding him behind one of the various stones. "There!"

Vegeta rushed around the stone, and aimed to throw his fist, but Raditz moved quickly, dashed against several formations with Vegeta after him before landing on one that was twenty feet higher up. As Vegeta approached, Raditz threw a handful of dust, dirt, and pebbles into Vegeta's face.

"You dirty-!" Vegeta said. Raditz hurled his fist quickly after, harshly into Vegeta's right cheek, causing Vegeta to plummet into the ground, however again, Vegeta stopped himself. This time Vegeta was on a lower rock formation and Raditz on a higher one. Vegeta gritted his teeth angrily, glaring at Raditz.

"How the hell did this…low class trash! Get this strong?!" Vegeta growled. He clenched his fists angrily. "It makes no sense for this to be possible! This weakling should be begging for mercy right now! I am a Super Elite! The Prince of All Saiyans!"

Vegeta bellowed a loud roar as he powered up. "That's it! No more games!" His aura flared and raged, as the ground hollered and trembled. It broke and began to collapse as Vegeta forced his feet deeply in the ground before doing a long leap.

Vegeta slammed his fist against Raditz's jaw, then elbowed Raditz in the gut before Raditz could be sent flying, and then as Raditz plummeted to the ground, a few feet above, Vegeta cupped his fists together and whacked it against the side of Raditz's head.

As Raditz approached a nearby boulder, he somersaulted mid-air, and bounced off it to recover, launching back to Vegeta, and hurling a powerful fist against Vegeta's left cheek. Vegeta was sent over twenty feet before he'd stop himself, darting back to Raditz.

"Enough!" Vegeta yelled. He slammed his fist into Raditz's gut, causing the oxygen in Raditz's lungs to be pushed out, Raditz clenched the area around his gut, trying to keep himself from falling to his knees. Saliva forced itself out of Raditz's throat, onto the ground. "I am the Saiyan Prince! I should have no trouble from the likes of you! You are nothing! You are worthless!"

Vegeta moved forward, slamming his elbow in Raditz's back, causing Raditz to crash forward, causing a small half-crater to generate. Vegeta jumped back, and unleashed a powerful volley of energy blasts.

Gohan gaped in shock and terror. "U-Uncle!" He flared his aura, preparing to help, but Goku stopped him.

"Don't Gohan, Raditz's got this." Goku said, grabbing his son's hand.

"B-But Uncle Raditz needs our help!" Gohan replied.

Goku shook his head. "No he's got it. It's not over yet, observe closely." He said.

Gohan bit his lips, lowering back down, gulping, with a worried face he continued to watch. Raditz managed to break free from the volley but not after suffering an already great amount of damage. For a short moment, Raditz and Vegeta only glared at each other, Vegeta having his arms crossed with a smirk, and Raditz clenching his fists.

"Okay, I just need to stall a little longer, get a few more blows in, then get a final strike, when I have the opportunity, I can just give a fatal strike, and I should be good." Raditz thought. He swallowed hard as he took his stance. "I hope…"

Vegeta charged first, throwing his fist, but Raditz ducked to the side, and threw a fist to Vegeta's chin, Vegeta bent back, and swung his leg high. Raditz rose his right arm, blocking the kick, then aimed for Vegeta's gut, but Vegeta moved to the side, avoiding the attack. Raditz fired an energy blast at Vegeta, who fired one as well, causing an explosion in between them.

Both fighters put their arms in front of them, attempting to block the blast, as they were blown away. They both once again landed on rock formations, this time on equal height. They charged once again and exchanged blows, but this time Vegeta had the upper advantage, he was faster, and managed to even get a few good hits in, but couldn't shake off the clash struggle.

Each strike created a shockwave, and as the moment passed on, those shockwaves got stronger, but the amount of hits thrown got smaller and more powerful. They vanished into thin air for a moment, before reappearing to collide their fists yet again, this time, cause the shockwaves were so close to the rock formation, part of it was vaporized.

To stop the clash, Vegeta tried to knee Raditz in the gut but missed, and Raditz gripped Vegeta's hair, allowing for an easier but dirtier knee grab kick, pushing Vegeta's head into Raditz's knee, at the same time Raditz forced his knee forward.

Then Raditz tried to rise above Vegeta, but Vegeta grabbed his leg, and furiously threw Raditz to the ground, firing an energy beam. As Raditz plummeted near the ground, he stopped himself, bounced off to the side, dodging the beam, and shot an array of blasts at Vegeta.

Vegeta dodged all six blasts with ease, then fired one powerful wave that penetrated through several large rocks, and aimed itself at Raditz, but Raditz managed to deflect it away after some effort. By then, Vegeta had made his way to Raditz and hurled a fist. Raditz reacted swiftly, scarcely evading his attack, then instinctively, he slammed his fist down against Vegeta's chin, a perfectly clean hit.

Vegeta stopped himself from flying but was sent back several feet. When he recovered, he wiped his face, then noticed something on his white glove, blood. His eyes went wide with fury and ferocity, he leaped powerfully off the ground, and into the sky.

"This bastard bled my blood! MY ROYAL BLOOD!" Vegeta growled in thought. "This bastard will pay dearly!" He lifted his two hands high above him, and flared his aura, which quickly turned highlighted purple. "You hear me! I will turn you and this entire planet into dust! YOU. WILL. CRUMBLE!"

Raditz clenched his fist, and gritted his teeth. "Damn it! Not yet! Not now!" He muttered. Raditz flew up higher to a nearby rock formation and got a good footing. "If he does that, he'll kill himself too, that idiot!" Raditz pulled his right hand far back, gathering a darker purple-r energy.

"Guys! Up there! I sense his energy!" Krillin shouted. The other three quickly followed Krillin as he went up into the sky, where he saw a shocking discovery. "Oh no….NO!"

Before Yamcha could ask, his question had already been answered. Nappa had been beginning to transform.

"Hurry! Stop him!" Yamcha shouted. He raised a fist to gather energy but Tien stopped him.

"No it's too late! Look! His energy is already rising too high!" Tien gritted his teeth. "Darn it! We should've just killed him like Piccolo said!"

"No! We can't Tien, you remember what Mr. Popo said?" Chiaotzu pointed out. "That would only keep our souls tainted, and keep us from getting stronger."

Tien sighed. "Damn it..you're right but…how are we going to get out of this?"

"We'll have to try something." Krillin said. He looked at the beast as he transformed, it was crazy to think that he was this strong. "Think of something! But what!?"

Yamcha rubbed the side of his forehead with his index and middle finger, and thumb. "When Goku transformed, he was always a bigger target, never faster, but not slower either." He pointed out. "It was his strength that always caused an issue."

"Okay, so if we keep on the speed, and hide, with a lot of sneak attacks, then maybe we can take him down." Tien added. "I bet if we do some vital shots, we can cut his tail off."

"I'll take care of cutting his tail, I got a technique perfect for that!" Krillin suggested.

"You do?" Tien raised an eyebrow, and Krillin nodded in response. "Can it home in on him?"

"If I give enough concentration to it, but I'm not entirely sure." Krillin answered.

"Try it anyways, we'll get a distraction on him, then when it's time you start preparing." Yamcha said. "For now, let's spread out." The others nodded, and spreaded out from each other.

Nappa quickly went from a six foot & ten inches raging brute, to a sixty foot tall great ape, and surprisingly his underpants…had apparently stretched to fit his ape size? Must come in one size fits all.
