Chapter 23: United We Stand!

The shuttles throne room was completely silent as the King of Sayian's Vegeta eyed the orange sphere in the palm of his hand. The ball had seven red stars on it and although it was large it was not nearly as impressive as the Sayian thought it would be.

"So how does this work?" Vegeta asked looking down on a Sayian who was the split image of Goku.

Bardock was at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the throne which his King was currently sitting on. The Sayian left hand was bonded to the floor by a thick chain his right arm which ended in just a stump was also bound in a similar chain. The Sayian was topless the only item he was permitted to wear was pants and that was only due to the instants of some of the female royal guards. This was his punishment the ultimate belittlement any proud Sayian warrior could be put through to become literally the King's pet his toy!

Bardock looked up at Vegeta trying not to grunt from the pain shooting though his back due to the beating he had been given and immediately felt anger rush over him.

He had been prepared to do anything to protect the Sayian race and his king even to go as far as to lead his comrades to death and kill his own son! He had abandoned his wife due to the fact she was unable to provide him a powerful offspring and instead went on dangerous missions putting his life on the line for the glory of a race that now had simple abandoned him, for a king that was simple using him as a tool to get to a means.

Never before had Bardock felt so betrayed and it was this burning feeling of betrayal that fuelled his angrier and spite. He had been made a mockery for way to long literally having every bit of honour ripped from him but yet the Sayian still couldn't help but constantly ask the same question in his mind. Why was he still helping those who had betrayed him?

At first the Sayian had reasoned that he was doing it for the sake of his race for his people that he alone would take responsibility for their survival and be known as the saviour of the Sayian's and yet he wasn't even now after informing them of the tool's which could bring forth any wish of their desires he was still treated like scum like a nobody that deserved no respect just because he had a lower power level than them.

Bardock couldn't help but draw parallels to his son who had stood up and fought him for very much the same reasons why he had attack his son's planet and friends. For the survival of their people and the ones they loved yet while Kakarott was worshiped by his fellow men treated like a hero here Bardock was being treated worse than the dog.

"I'm waiting" Vegeta said gruffly having stood up from his chair a visible scowl clear on his face. "So tell me how does this ball work?"

Bardock opened his mouth to respond with a witty remark something he knew would have gotten him a server beating or even worse killed but was stopped before he could do it by the sound of the electronic doors of the room swinging open.

In walked a purple alien with three horns upon his head who Bardock immediately recognised as Samson one of the medical team stationed on the ship but it was the Sayian striding in next to him who really drew in Bardock's attention.

Goku wearing his orange and blue armour was happily chatting to Samson about his favourite food dishes and inquiring what food the many chefs of the ship could cook before coming to a sudden stop when he noticed his father chained to the floor of the room. His expression suddenly changed from stupidly happy to serious in a matter of seconds.

Bardock suddenly bowed his head in shame at the sight of his second child who he had deemed an utter failure on the day of his birth. If the truth was told while remaining imprisoned on Vegeta's ship and his recent mistreating's under his king the Sayian warrior had grown to respect his son for not only his surprisingly high power but also the type of person he had become. Kakarot was a man who would not bow down to anyone no matter what rank they held or how much power they had and Bardock couldn't help but be proud of his son for that though the Sayian still felt great guilt for the fact he hadn't realised this sooner and by now it was probably too late to re-kindle any type of relationship with his son especially after his crew killed his friends and he personal killed the man who appeared to be his son's teacher.

"I order Nappa to bring Kakaort here" Vegeta said coolly as he looked down on Samson.

The small alien stepped forward and bowed trying ever so hard to stop his body from shaking as not to revel the fear building up inside of him.

"P-p-please my L-lord, The General is currently out of commission this Sayian knocked him out" Samson's voice was shaky as he spoke the alien was obviously scared of how Vegeta would react.

All eyes were on Vegeta as he stared down at Samson with cold angry eyes which threaten that the Sayian would soon explode in fiery angrier. But then suddenly the King threw his head back and laughed a cold humourless laugh that sent shivers running down the spine of every being inside the room apart from Goku who was still looking at his father with cold hard eyes of supressed fury.

"What an amusing joke" Vegeta said in a tone that made it clear he did not find what Samson said to be funny. "Now tell me where is Nappa?"

Samson gulped down an intake of breath and swallowed hard before replying.

"My lord what I told you wasn't a joke the general was knocked out by the Sayian Kakarot"

This time Vegeta didn't laugh the King quickly placed the Dragonball he was holding safely onto the cousin of his throne before turning back round to face Samson a fierce scowl was on the King's face as he clicked his scouter after two beeps he spoke out loud this time he made no attempt to hide the angrier and venom in his voice.

"Normally I find jokes like these amusing but right now I am busy and need to talk to Nappa. But be warned if you say yet again that the weakling with a power level of one thousand has knocked him out again it would be the last words you ever say!"

Samson stumbled back and feel on his arse in fear of the killing intent that was simple radiating off of Vegeta the purple skinned man knew what he was about to say was foolish but he had no other answer that wasn't a lie. His only hope was to appeal to the King's reasoning.

"But my lord please…" Samson began but he was unable to finish his sentence.

It was obvious the purple alien had said something that Vegeta didn't want to hear and the King acted immediately drawing his hand back as he charge a ball of Ki. Vegeta flung his arm forward to launch the blast forward.

A strong grip grabbed a hold of Vegeta's wrist before he could perform his attack and the King growled in frustration as Goku appeared before him.

All the Sayian's in the room blinked in surprise all of them hadn't notice the young Sayian from earth quickly move across the room and grab hold of their King. What was more the fiery red aura that surrounded Goku made the Sayian look like an avenging angel.

"You dare get between your King and his prey." Vegeta growled as he swung his free fist forward towards Goku's abdomen only to let out another growl when it hit thin air.

Goku appeared in front of Bardock a mere moment after his after image faded and raised his right hand in the air ready to chop down on his father.

Bardock looked up at his son already accepting the fact he was going to be killed until suddenly the weight of the chains around his arm's subsided. Looking down Bardock saw that the cuffs that secured the chains to his arms were now lying broken on the floor.

Bardock looked at Goku with a mixture of shock and relief before he spoke out to him.

"Thank you" Was the only thing that Bardock could think to say.

"Look at me when I address you, you third class scum" Vegeta roared.

Goku turned around to face the King of Sayian the latter of which had his hand's clenched into tight fists while a simmering of purple aura appeared to life. Everyone else in the room had backed off out of the way not wanting to feel the wrath of Vegeta. Samson it would have appeared had fled the room due to the fact he was nowhere in sight and the electronic doors were just closing.

"Good, now let me get this clear I am your King I demand respect for all my followers. If you want to survive this day I suggest you bow before me right now or feel the full wrath of my fury"

The Sayian including Bardock held their breath waiting to see how their fellow man Kakarot would respond all those present believing that there was no chance of survival for the third class warrior against the most powerful Sayian alive.

"No" Goku said plainly his expression stone cold as he stared at Vegeta without an inch of fear.

There were gasps as some Sayian's step back in fear and out of the firing line. More stepped forward a smile plastered over their face eager to see what their King was capable of. Bardock was the only one who feared for his son's life and quickly placed a hand of Goku's shoulder and said.

"Get on your knees, it's the only way you will get out of this alive"

But Goku ignored him the young Sayian kept his eyes on those of Vegeta's the latter's clearly showing the fury he felt at being answered back to like that. Finally after a moments silence the King spoke up his voice clearly laced in venom as he tried to regain control of the situation.

"I'm sure you must not of heard me or are currently unaware of who you are talking to so I will explain. I AM YOUR KING! I am the most powerful Sayian alive! I am currently within the clutches of our ancestors legendary transformation which will grant me the power to defeat all those that defy me. You on the other hand are a third class piece of trash that is not even good enough to wipe my boots. Your power is nothing compared to mine I could wipe you out in an instant if I wanted to so you better not defy me or you will meet your friend"

It was a clear warning one most Sayian's didn't expect Kakarot to be given in fact most expected him to be dead or at the very least severally beaten yet their he stood calm and composed still looking the King straight in the eyes like they were to equals and not a servant looking up at his Master.

"You are nothing but a coward" Goku finally said looking Vegeta right in his eyes.

The King was obviously taken aback by this response as he nearly toppled over in shock before he quickly regained his composure.

"What did you just call me" Vegeta snarled his fists were clenched and a dark purple aura had surrounded him.

"I called you a coward!" Goku shouted angrily the power behind his voice causing even the most elite Sayian to shiver in fear. "I can sense the good in your heart but you supress it filling yourself up with hate and greed only to satisfy what others think you should be and I can't think of a more cowardly thing than hiding one's true self away for fear of what others think"

"Don't act like you know me" Vegeta roared as he threw a beam forward.

The fierce red aura of the Kao-ken technique quickly surrounded Goku as he knocked the ball into the air causing a hole to be torn in the roof of the ship.

The young Sayian from Earth started to flout up towards the hole slowly, Bardock after giving a quick glance to his fellow Sayian's all of whom were sending him daggers before glancing up at his son. The older Sayian made the split second decision to follow and was shown flouting in the air after his son.

"Where do you think you're going" Vegeta roared as he watch Goku slow ascent. "You think you can insult me and just run away? No we are not done Kakarot if you leave here alive today you would have stolen my pride and I can't allow that to happen."

Goku stopped in mid-air and look down upon Vegeta as he considered the proposal for a fight before shaking his head.

"No not now, I have a lot more important things to do than fight with you. Maybe once this is all over I will come back" With that Goku continue to fly up in the air.

Vegeta growled as he quickly saw the situation slipping out of his control. The King knew he could obliterate the Sayian that had antagonised him with just a sweep of his hand. But that would simple not do. No Kakarot had insulted him challenge his rank and power out right in front of the other most powerful members of the Sayian race. The King knew he needed to make an example of him to show what would happen to those who questioned his authority and the only way to do that was to fight him head on at his best and completely batter him. Not wipe him out with a simple Ki blast when his back was turned.

It was then when Vegeta's eyes caught the glimpses of the Dragonball orange glow as the sun from the sky poured down onto it thanks to the hole in the ship.

"Hay Kakarot" Vegeta called out aloud up to the leaving Sayian who didn't turn around. "You might not fight me for honour but how about you fight me for the Dragonball?"

Goku immediately turned around and saw the Dragonball glistening on Vegeta's throne the former hadn't notice it before because he was distracted by the appearance of his father in chain's but now he had seen it he knew he had no other choice but to fight.

"Fine" Goku said frustration clear in his voice. "I'll fight you."

~DBZ~

Blood and sea water flew off Piccolo as he was thrown through the air by yet another power pack punch delivered by the transformed Zarbon. The red of the Namek's kao-ken aura faltered slightly before Piccolo regained his composer in mid-air.

Crunch! Piccolo reacted quickly to cross his arms in front of himself in an x shape in order to block the incoming kick but despite the block the force of the blow still sent the Namek back though the air for a few meters.

"His power has surpassed mine massively despite the fact I'm using a Kao-ken time's three" Piccolo thought to himself as he swerved to the right and barley dodge a left handed punch from Zarbon. "Ever since his transformation into this monstrous form he holds the edge in power and speed I need to gain an advantage and quick otherwise I'm going to lose"

"What up Namek" Zarbon snarled bearing his fang's. "Have you finally realised the fact you are going to die?"

The light green alien laughed manically. Piccolo launched forward a Ki infused punch at the ready but Zarbon was ready for it. Frieza henchmen merely tilted his body backwards to dodge the incoming uppercut before sending his right leg up into the Namek's chin.

It connected right on target sending Piccolo flying into the air. Zarbon watched his assent until he could no longer see due to the blinding light of the three suns' overhead so instead the alien clicked the button on the scouter. After a few bleeps it displayed Piccolo's power level.

"Hmm" Zarbon sighed in deep satisfaction. "I must of hurt that fool pretty badly his power has dropped to a third of what it was previously"

Piccolo charged from the sky his fists flung in front of him preparing to smash Zarbon into the hard rocky ground his raging red aura alight leaving a bellowing trail behind him. But yet he was still too slow Frieza's hence men merely moved to the side allowing Piccolo to pass him slightly before kneeing the Namek in the stomach.

Piccolo screams of pain were cut to a mere gargle as blood projected from his mouth.

"Bye bye" Zarbon yelled as he threw his arm's forward sending a wave off energy crashing into the injured Namek's body.

The blast exploded on contact vaporising its target upon impact. Piccolo was gone…..

Crash! A foot connected against Zarbon's neck throwing the alien into a cartwheel though the air before he came to a stop under his own power. The alien turned to face his attacker and his mouth hung open in utter shock at who it was.

Standing before him a red powerful aura surrounding their body was Piccolo who already had a purple beam of energy formed in his right hand.

"Impossible" Zarbon yelled. "I just killed you"

Piccolo didn't respond instead he threw his hands forward and yelled.

"Destructive wave"

Zarbon dodge to the left of the attack firing his own ball of Ki as he did so. Piccolos watched the attack coming and drew his hand back before throwing his hand forward and smacking the attack harmlessly into the air.

Immediately Zarbon appeared in front of him and grabbed the Namek in a powerful bear hug so strong it broke several of Piccolo's ribs.

"Ha you fell right into my trap foolish Namek" Zarbon laughed as he threw his head forward and head butted Piccolo in the nose.

An audible crack was heard as the Namek's nose broke and wet hot blood fell down upon Zarbon's face. However when the light skinned alien looked into Piccolo's face he didn't see fear or angrier no he saw amusement.

"Or you feel into mine" Piccolo said with a chuckle before a voice exactly the same as his own called out from behind Zarbon.

"Special Beam Cannon!"

Zarbon didn't react in time he couldn't have even of predicted that the Namekian had the ability to clone himself and it was this lack of knowledge that proved costly.

The spiral beam connected against the ball of Zarbon's back before literally ripping though his body and out though his stomach.

The alien gave a scream of pain just as the clone he had been holding faded out of sight. The attack had lasted for only five seconds but the damage it had caused was significant.

Purple blood poured out from the hole that was once Zarbon's stomach as he desperately tried to stem the flow and blood lose by gripping his hands upon the open wound.

The light skinned warriors Ki quickly depleted as his body quickly channelled it into his life force in a desperate attempt to preserve itself. This however caused Zarbon to drop out of his monstrous form and back into his original form just in time for Piccolo to fade back in front of him.

The Namek's arms were crossed over his chest and though he had several bruises and cuts from battle his injuries were slowly healing up thanks' to his regenerative abilities.

"You bastard" Zarbon spat at Piccolo launching spittle and blood from his lip's as he spoke.

Piccolo didn't respond the Namek merely moved his right hand forward the palm of which faced Zarbon before he released a torrid of energy that vaporised the once proud and beauty conscious general out of existents forever.

After making sure that no other threat's where around him. Piccolo relaxed his body allowing the red aura of the Kao-ken to evaporate away before taking off towards Gohan's Ki signature. Though the Namek was exhausted from battle he was thankful for his regenerative abilities which made it easier for him to recover from combat and from the prolong use of the Kao-ken technique.

Frieza stood alone in his private quarters with his eyes closed in deep meditation. The tyrant was currently imagining his victory over the Southan ruler once he gained his wish for immortality.

The three Dragonball's he and his men had so far seized flouted around the Frost Demon forming a triangle shape. They were currently being held up by his telekinetic powers.

A quiet knock sounded on Frieza's door and the Frost Demon gave a sigh of frustration before murmuring.

"Come in"

The electronic door's swung open and a third class warrior stepped in the room. The short stumpy alien was obviously nerves at being so close to Frieza as he was shaking uncontrollable no doubt having heard the rumours of what happened to messengers who delivered bad news to the Frost Demon.

There was a long moment of silence as the third class warrior didn't speak up for fear of his life.

"Come on what is it now?" Frieza snapped as he turned around to face his underling the Frost demon's eyes were now open and alert but he still held his telekinetic hold of the Dragonballs as if dropping it would mean he would lose them forever. "Or are you hear just to waste my time and disturb my privacy?"

The third class warrior gulped before hurriedly trying to force the words from out of his mouth.

"My lord the last search party that we sent to one of the Namekian's village to retrieve the Dragonball have been wiped out. Last communication with the group suggests that Sayian's are responsible" The orange stumpy alien had his eyes closed the whole time as he spoke as if he almost expected to be blown up at any moment however when he wasn't he opened his eyes to see Frieza pacing back and forward around the room.

"It was to be expected that the Sayian's were going to try and make a bid for the Dragonballs themselves and the fact that Vegeta has now acquired one is off no bother I have plan's to face him soon enough anyway taking the last Dragonball away from him to complete my destiny will just make my victory over him a whole lot more sweeter" Frieza said matter of factly before returning his gaze upon his underling. "What I do need to know is what's taking Zarbon so long to retrieve the Dragonball that was stolen by those pests earlier. See to it that a communication uplink is linked from his scouter to my monitor so I may have a word with him"

The stumpy alien didn't move however and simple gulped again before he spoke.

"errm… M-my Lord this is the other reason why I was sent to you. Y-you see we were monitoring Zarbon's scouter like you told us to up until moments ago were it completely vanished. This could only mean the scouter has been destroyed in battle or…"

"Zarbon has been killed while on his mission" Frieza interjected. "I see"

The Frost demon's eyes were dangerously narrowed as he eyed his stumpy minion. Killing intent simply radiating off of him. Before he could regain control and speak in his normal polite overly friendly voice.

"And could you please do tell how long it will be before Turles arrives with his Crusher Corps?"

"The last reading told us it would take about six hours for them to arrive on planet sir" The stumpy alien responded.

Frieza gave a frustrated sigh and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.

"I'm sorry sir" The stumpy alien quickly said as his body began to shiver uncontrollable again.

"Why are you sorry" Frieza asked his voice sounding generally confused. "It's not your fault is it?"

"No sir" The stumpy alien replied a genuine smile upon his face as he believed he would make it out of the situation he was currently in alive.

Suddenly a purple beam appeared the line lead from Frieza up to the small aliens chest and then out the back and onto the metal walls behind him. The stumpy alien looked at Frieza with a confused expression on his face the Frost Demon merely smiled back with a wicked grin before stating.

"Just because it wasn't your fault doesn't mean I won't take my angrier out on you"

Just then the beam fading revealing a gaping hole right where the stumpy aliens heart should have been. A second later the lifeless body of the third class warrior fell to the ground in a heap.

Frieza turned away from the body which was leaking cold green blood on his clean polished floor and looked out of the yellow tinted window that took up half of the outside wall.

"You know what they say" The Frost Demon said allowed to no one other than himself. "If you want something done right you need to do it yourself"

Piccolo entered the grand elder Guru's home just as the elder Namek removed his hand from the top of Gohan's head. The young Demi-Sayian then quickly spun round upon sensing his master's Ki and then quickly flung himself at Piccolo wrapping his arm around the Namek's neck.

"Mr Piccolo" Gohan said excitedly. "My dad's alive!"

"What?" Piccolo was show taken aback by this statement that he had forgotten all about his no affection rule. Instead focusing his attention all around the room in order to read the expressions of those around him in the room, they all appeared to be happy and cheerful apart from a Namek strikingly similar to Piccolo who stood by the larger and much older Namek's side. "But how?"

"We don't know sir" Dende replied happily "But grand elder Guru felt his energy moments ago right before he released some of Gohan's hidden power."

Hidden power? Piccolo mused to himself as he forcibly removed Gohan from off of him before placing him on the floor. It was true the boy had grown incredible powerful since the last time he had been with the Namek so much so the boy's power nearly matched Piccolo's own.

It was incredible and it made Piccolo wonder what kind of ability would enable someone to draw out so much power like that so quickly. It was then that Piccolo finally got a proper look at the Grand elder Guru. The first thing the Namek took in was the elder size. Guru was simple huge bigger than any living Namek Piccolo had so far encountered in fact it would have taken a lot of buffing up for Piccolo to even match the elders size. The next thing he notice was the wrinkles and the darkness of the older Namek's green skinned it gave Guru an ancient feel as if he was there to witness the start of the universe. What was more Guru had appeared to be examining Piccolo just as much as he had been examining him.

"Step forward child so I may see you better" Guru asked in his deep voice.

Piccolo normally would have reacted angrily to being called a child but the calm way in which the grand elder spoke stopped him. It was as if he was meeting his long lost uncle for the very first time.

Piccolo stepped forward and the Namek from earth caught the sight of Nail tensing up out of the corner of his eye. However Guru placed a hand on Nail's shoulder. This act seemed to calm Piccolo's fellow Namek in an instant.

"I see you are the reincarnation off Katas son's evil sprite. It is a shame that he like many of his fellow beavered could not control the evil desire in his heart. I am afraid it is a curse we super Namek's share. We our gifted incredible power and might yet with it comes evil desires which we must I've cast out from ourselves or let it control us. Yet you seem different from the other shadows your darkness has been cleared your heart is beginning to turn pure yes I can see it now….." Guru was stopped in his tracks by a coughing fit which caused nervous glances to be exchange between Dende, Moori and Nail. Before any of them could react however the Grand Elder continued. "I am sorry I haven't got much time left please step forward an accept my gift"

As Guru reached out his hand Piccolo stepped forward his progress was cut short however when Nail cut him off getting in between his grand elder and the Namek his eyes locked on to Piccolo's own as the two most powerful Namek warrior's alive stared each other down.

"I'm sorry lord Guru but I can't allow you to grant this Namek the power you want to give him. I know his heart is completely evil but I don't think it is wise to grant him such power so willingly when evil still remains'" Nail's voice was calm and cold almost exactly like Piccolo's but different enough to differentiate between the two.

"My son" Guru began placing a hand on Nail's shoulder "I know your intention's our noble but trust me. Piccolo will not return to the darkness he holds a deep bond with the boy and that will be enough to see to it that he won't stray to far from the light"

Nail stood perfectly still for a few moments taking in what his elder had said before begrudgingly stepping.

Piccolo stepped forward and allowed Guru to place one huge hand on top of his head. For a while nothing happened the Namek stood still feeling very embarrassed until suddenly a white aura burst around him.

It felt incredible. Power pure wonderful energy sprouted from within Piccolo and poured outwards out of every particle of his body. It was as if there was a locked door filled with energy within Piccolo's body and Guru had the key to open the lock.

The process of powering Piccolo up only lasted a few seconds but the effects were instant and substantial. Already the Namek knew with his new power he could have defeated Zarbon's monstrous state without even having to use the Kao-ken technique and it led him to wonder how much power he could now attain.

Piccolo stepped back looking at his hand's admiring his new strength. Guru face fell forward the older Namek began a coughing fit due to extension of unlocking Piccolo's hidden power.

"Grand elder" Moori cried rushing over to Guru's side. "Are you alright."

Guru manages to sit himself up right and looked down on his oldest son and gave a soft comforting smile. However his words were not very comforting.

"I am not alright my son I am gravely ill and don't have long left in this world but that is fine. It is the circle of life I am just glad you are here" Guru's voice was soft and slowly the giant Namek placed a hand on Moori's head.

A shining silver light engulfed Moori and the new elder Namek look down at his hand's in shock as he began to fill the connection between himself and the Dragonball's.

"Look after my people Moori. You are the keeper of them now and the Dragonball's"

Moori couldn't help it tears began to form in his eyes as he relished the meaning of what had just happened. Guru had passed on the guardianship of the Dragonball and the Namekian people onto him because the elder knew he was going to be gone very soon.

"Dende" Guru murmured his voice growing weaker and graver. "Come here my child"

"Yes grand elder" Dende said quietly tears having formed in his eyes. The young boy step forward to Guru's side.

Guru smiled as he tilted his head to look at the small child by his side.

"You are so brave my child and I see so much potential in you and I know you have a bright future ahead of you please accept my last gift onto you."

With that the elder placed a hand upon Guru's head and unlocked Dende's power before slumping back in the chair the elder was breathing heavily now the strain obviously taking it's toll.

"Nail" Guru called out desperately "Where are you my son?"

"I'm here" Nail replied gripping onto Guru's right hand with both of his own. "I won't leave your side"

"Good" Guru replied with a soft smile before adding. "Because I know you won't like what I'm about to do."

Suddenly a white aura burst around Guru as the elder gripped Nail's hand tightly stopping the younger Namek from removing the physical contact which would have prevented the fusion from working.

"Take my knowledge and my power" Guru cried allowed over the noise of his Ki and then he was gone completely vanished into thin air.

The white aura now surrounded Nail flicking around the Namek like an uncontrollable fire before a blinding light forced the over's to shield their eyes.

Earth.

The Kamahamaha had taken Turnip by surprise but by no means had it injured the Sayian in fact it felt more like an irritating tickle. Curving backwards the Sayian flipped back out of the way of the attack as the blue beam of energy shot past and continued up into the air.

"You are going to pay for your interference" Turnip yelled out angrily towards Krillin.

The ex-monk didn't respond instead he simple threw his arm's quickly by his sides his hand's still not visible due to the blue orb of energy around them.

Crash! Krillin's re-directed Kamahamaha smashed into Turnip's back and sent the Sayian crashing to the ground.

Smoke and debris shot into the air as the beam exploded outwards in the middle of it all was Turnip though he was still not hurt the Sayian's temper had been turned up a few noughts as he let out an irritated growl. Having noticed that the Earthling's didn't have scouter technology the Sayian decided to use this as an advantage and perform a sneak attack while he was surrounded in the smoke.

Beep beep!

"Huh?" Turnip explained when the scouter only read many power levels of five the highest one being eighteen. "That can't be right that attack he used against me was at least at the power of a ten thousand unit warrior if not more how can the scouter not pick that up?"

A foot came out though the smoke and connected with the Sayian's chin knocking him off balance slightly due to the surprise of the attack.

"Take this" Turnip roared throwing a ball of Ki forwards. The attack connected with the ground kicking up more dust into the air.

Smash! A fist connected against the ball of Turnip's back the Sayian gave an irritated growl and turned round throwing his fist forward only to hit thin air.

"What's going on?" Turnip roared, pressing the button of his scouter angrily. " Why isn't this dam thing picking up your power!"

Another series of punches landed against Turnip's chest the Sayian sent a kick outwards but yet again his kick hit thin air.

"Destruto disk" A voice roared from behind Turnip.

The Sayian turned just in time to see a glowing light flying towards him. Turnip didn't know why but something inside him shouted to dodge which he did though a little too slowly.

The disk clipped his left cheek instantly cutting open the skin drawing blood.

"That disk could have killed me" Turnip said dumbfounded before he brought his arms to his side and gripped his fist's. "I have had enough of your games"

With that a dark blue aura surrounded Turnip pushing the dust away from himself just In time to see Krillin charging forward.

The Sayian easily caught the Earthling's fist and held him afloat so he was looking directly into Krillin's eyes.

"I don't suppose you're prepared to surrender now before I get real serious on you now" Krillin asked the Sayian trying to keep a straight face.

Turnip merely flung his elbow forward smashing it into Krillin's face sending the Monk flying backwards into the air.

"I didn't think so" Krillin muttered to himself before a kick connected against his back and sent the ex-monk flying into the air.

Turnip appeared above the ex-monk his arms afloat above his head before he brought him arm's forward and jack hammered Krillin down to the ground.

Blood flung out of Krillin's mouth as the earthling smashed into a building which consequently collapsed on top of him.

With ten tons of rubble now on top of him and two ribs broken the last Z fighter left on Earth let out an irritated sigh.

"Well that could have gone better"

"I'll say" A familiar voice called out.

Krillin looked around in confusion the voice was familiar but it sounded distant yet at the same time it sounded as clear as if the strange person was talking right next to him.

"Who is it?" Krillin called out worried that he might have hit his head a little too hard.

"What!" The strange voice cried out obviously quiet hurt at not being recognised. "Don't you know your teacher's voice when you hear it?"

"Master Roshi?" Krillin asked out loud in thin air while looking around trying to find the spirit of his dead Master. "Where are you?"

"In otherworld of course" Master Roshi snorted as if it had been the most obvious thing in the world. "Anyway we aint got much time to speak King Kia only look down on Earth because I asked him to and he wants draw his attention back on Namek very soon"

Krillin head was starting to buzz now due to how hard it was working to process the fact his dead Master was now talking to him.

"So what do you want to talk about? It isn't exactly a good time you know evil villain and all trying to get the Dragonballs for their own diabolical plan's killing loads of innocent people along the way you know the yearly special" Krillin spoke with grim humour cursing the Earth's luck when it came to evil being's trying to take over the Ex-monk was dreading what would come next. If of course it survive this latest rush for the Dragonballs.

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. You see normally the dead in other world can't communicate with the living but there is a loop hole that if a living person is in mortal danger their dead Master may contact them to offer advice."

"Ok" Krillin replied unsure of what to expect knowing Roshi it could be anything ranging from ultimate wisdom to advice such as which women to save first. "The hot one's" Krillin muttered to himself.

"What?" Master Roshi responded obviously confused.

"Nothing" Krillin said obviously getting irritated at the convocation and aware of the fact that he had been under rubble for a long time and who knew what Turnip could be getting up to while he was away. "So what is the advice you have to give me?"

"Just simple this Krillin" Marster Roshi said quietly before beginning. "You and Goku were the best student's I have ever had. You have surpassed me in every possible way and have grown stronger than I could of ever had imagine. You and I both know that Goku can get though any situation however what you don't know is that you too have the ability to win. I believe in you Krillin I know you can win!"

"So do I" another voice said aloud. This was Tien who had taken advantage of the fact King Kia had opened a connection to speak to his old friend.

"Me too" a goofy but confident voice called out obviously Yamcha.

"And so do I" Chioutzu the small pale man called though the mental connection.

"Look deep inside yourself Krillin and find the power that you need to win the whole of the plant is resting in your hands" Master Roshi said finial before the metal connection was shut tightly.

With the voices of his dead friend's gone Krillin closed his eyes and concentrated losing himself from the world as he looked deep within side himself for the power that would allow him to beat the Sayian menace that was threatening his home.

It started out as a small string off louse energy that Krillin tugged on with his mind before it grew to a thick long rope of pure energy. The Ex-Monk kept tugging desperately to release the power hidden away within the depth of himself. An ancient power that had long since been lost to the human race the power of their Super form!...

So another week and another chapter hay an especial long one after the special which I hope you all enjoyed. I would just like to say this story now has 100 reviews which I am very happy about and would like to say thank you to each and every one of you who take time out to write your opion of the story it really means a lot.

So right a lot of things have happened in this chapter I hope it all seems reasonable and not at all far fetched I really kind of wanted to go somewhere differen't with this story and explore idea's that many authors haven't touched or have tended to avoided.

As normal please review and tell me what you think and ask any questions you may have :o)

Power levels I will display some at the beginning of next chapter regarding the various power up's people have been given but I may just forget that all together soon as it will get hard to keep track so I may start doing a person is weakier than b or c is equal to d if you get what I mean ;o).

Q&A:

Q :Do you think you can do art work for the southern ruler so we know what he look's like?

A: Me personal no because I am a very bad artist and can't draw to save my life but any talented drawers (Or non-talented who am I to judge) Who want to give it ago can if they like and if they let me know where it is e.g. if it's on a deivienart page or something like that I will direct reader's such as yourself to it :o).

Regards
