Chapter 32: Saviour
You know what they say ...
Jeice had been the strongest member of his entire race a mutant of sort a genetic gene which the doctors said would cripple him had actually been the cause of his great unnatural strength as it allowed the young boy's ki to flow though him more easily. It was a great advantage but it was also a great curse. When growing up on his home planet Isis the red skinned alien was shunned by his pairs who use to call him a freak and abandoned him whenever they could. Jeice had a sad lonely childhood and he only got though it due to his love of his planets national sport similar to Earths baseball. The Isis signature Crusher ball pitch was so powerful and précised it brought him the respect of his peers and the eyes of scouts from the professional leagues.
In fact Jeice was so good he would have become a professional until the dark day when Planet trade organisation entered his life. Isis was not Jeice's people's original home in fact the planet had been brought by the world's governing body many years before the red skinned man was even born in order to replace their old planet which was about to be hit by a comet. Though the Frost Demon's who ran the trade planet association were good to their word and got a planet to the exact specifications they demanded one clause in their contract.
Not only did the people of Isis bestow many riches to the Frost Demon's but they also signed onto their special alliance. This contract clause allowed the Trade Planet Organisation to take any man, woman or child they deemed to have potential and turn them into one of their solders. This was none negotationable and failure to comply would result in the immediate purge of Jeice's people from the planet.
It was when Jeice was about twenty years of age (Earth time) When it happened a special visit from one of the loyal princes of the Frost Demon's royal family this member was none other than the young lord Friezia occupied by his father the great King Cold. Their had been rumoured for months that the Trade Planet Organisation were recruiting troops in the area again in preparation to hand the young Frost Demon.
This was the last faze of the recruitment process the time were the Frost Demon picked their own personal squadron, Cooler had his armoured Squad and thus Friezia was creating his own which he was picking personally. It was on this day that Jeice's mutated gene got him noticed once again but this time for the right reasons and the red skinned man joined the Ginyu force lead by Captain Ginyu himself an old general of King Cold's own squad who had been moved down to help Friezia build his own empire. The years spent under Captain Ginyu were the happiest of Jeice's life regardless of the fact he killed millions to billions of innocent people a day it soon became more like a boring chore than a strain on ones emotions. The thing that drew the Ginyu Force together was that they were all freaks of nature on their home planet's due to one genetic defect or another. Mutants for lack of a better word and this fact drew them all together forming an unbreakable bound between the group. It was as if they were family.
However these times were short lived. After a change in "Management" at the top of the Trade Planet Organisation Captain Ginyu was considered too much of a risk to be allowed to continue living and as such was hunted down and killed by one of the "Assassins" as such Jeice reluctantly took over the leadership of the group for a few years until one mission were his instructions lead to the death of Guldo their time stopping scout. It was as this point where Friezia tortured the red skinned man before removing his rank as leader of the Ginyu squad and placing a member of a race that had recently joined up to the Trade Planet Organisation's alliance.
Turles was a Sayian warrior who was despised by his own people having stolen seeds from the races precious tree of might and destroying it so no one else could gain it's power. He was as cruel as he was cunning and he went to Friezia in order to seek political protection from his very own race. Which he was surprisingly granted.
The Sayian immediately change the name of the Ginyu squad to the Crusher Corps and from their as they say the rest of history mere memories at the back of the red skinned aliens mind brought forward by the man's impending doom.
Your life flashes before your very eyes ... When your about to die
Thud, Jecies lifeless body flopped to the floor softly barely making a sound as it hit the hard ground of Namek's surface. It made such a small insignificant sound that it was barely heard by either Gohan or Piccolo despite the fact the latter had exceptional hearing. Smoke still bellowed out from where Jeice's head should be covering up the fact the red skinned man was now headless and very much dead. Another pointless life lost to world memories however twisted and evil eradicated from the mortal realm for all eternity. What a waste of life.
"Why?" Gohan roared furiously stepping forward with purpose while his arms swung loosely at his side his hands clenched into fists. "Why would you kill him like that?"
Piccolo the normally calm and composed Namek had been stunned by Turles actions. Not by the fact the Sayian had killed his "minion" but how much the Sayian reminded him off his self only a few years ago. It was a cause for a moments refection on the past and on how much the Namek had change over time. Piccolo was born with one and only purpose to avenge his father and kill his own Killer Goku. Yet here he was son of one of the most powerful demon's to walk the universe fighting on the side of good not only that he had now turned teacher to his father killers son and even further than that some part of Piccolo now thought of Goku as some kind of friend? ally? It was complicated and it drew away the Nameks attention for a brief few seconds but now his mind had snapped back into focus.
Sweat poured down Piccolo's tired body which cried out for rest due to the exertion it had just been though during the Kao-ken technique the one and most damaging flaw of the technique was it's after effects which now rained down upon Piccolo's body in a mixture of pain and exhaustion. However the Namek didn't unease his muscles at all he was tense and ready to jump into action at a moments notice for he could sense the emotion brewing inside of Gohan's small body.
The Namek knew the boy better than anyone he was his teacher, friend and more in tuned to the boy's emotions than even Goku could have hoped to be and Piccolo knew better than anyone else what was about to happen. The Dam that held back Gohan's angrier was beginning to crack and the rippling power that was the ferocious lake of power that was behind it threated to break out.
Turles who had watched the small boy with mild interest smirked as he stared down at Jeice's still smoking body.
"What this piece of trash? Why do you care?" Turles asked with a chuckle.
A white hot aura began to steam of Gohan like steam as he continued to walk forward. The young boy's head was bowed which hid his contracted pupils which were beginning to turn white as the small boy's angrier slowly began to take over and as his sanity began to leave him as he got lost in the rage.
"He was your friend you shouldn't kill your friend's" Gohan spat though gritted teeth.
"Ha! I have no friends, only comrades" Turles cried before flicking his wrist once again and distinguishing Jeice's body with a quick effortless Ki blast.
"RAAAAAAAAA"
The roar was so primal so animal that it even startled the harden warrior Turles who couldn't react in time to stop the Small boy from smashing his head against his stomach. Crack! Turles armour broke where Gohan's head made contact and even though he was winded the Sayian warrior was still able to look down at his newest opponent.
Gohan's aura was a crimson red fuelled by the young boys unstoppable rage. Shooting upwards the Demi-Sayian's fist connected against Turles chin knocking the full blooded Sayian backwards in the air.
"What!" Piccolo thought while keeping his calm composer on the outside as he watched his student go on the attack. "How could Gohan possible master the Kao-ken technique?" Then realisation dawned on the Namek. The young boy was mimicking the same fluctuations of his Ki that both Goku and Piccolo would do when they performed the Kao-Ken technique however his was unstable and unbalanced. "With that amount of uncontrollable Ki being produced from his body Gohan could blow himself up!" Piccolo quickly deduced.
"Gohan you have to calm down" Piccolo cried with a slight desperation in his voice.
However this demand feel on death ears the young boy was gone to the world in every sense of the word his raw power had finally burst to the surface and the Demi-Sayian lost control. Power rippled and cracked around the boy in mini explosions as he pummelled his fist small fists into the bigger much larger Sayian's body each cry that echoed out of Turles mouth edge Gohan on pushing him further and further as he continued.
"This Kid is to much" Turles chuckled aloud as he allowed Gohan to continue to pummel his small fist into his stomach with out much effect. "Dose he really think he can win?"
Smack! A simple kick was enough to knock the small boy away. Gohan's head smashed against the ground and bounced up into the air. Flipping back onto his feet the Demi-Sayian charged again rapidly throwing punches which were easily avoided by Turles.
"Ha! You sure are determined" Turles chuckled. "Let's see how strong you really are!"
Smash! Clenceing his left hand into a fist the experience Sayian warrior flew up out of Gohan's attack path before slamming his fist down onto the boy's head knocking the boy of balance slightly. A slight twist of his hip and Turles launched a right kick into the Demi-Sayian's side smacking Gohan back into the Earth.
Blood was now on Gohan's lips but the small boy didn't stop to wipe it away instead he again launched himself back up onto his feet and with a primal roar the Demi-sayian charge head long into battle once again.
"Phsk! Fool" Turles spat dodging out of the way with ease. "I'm getting bored of this"
Like a professional bull fighter the Sayian warrior stood his ground and allowed Gohan to get within inches of himself before spinning around out of the way while bringing his left hand round in a chop motion connecting against the small boy's neck.
Crack! The sickening sound echoed as the red aura that surrounded Gohan vaporised out of sight and the small boy feel limp to the floor.
Turles turned his back to the boy who now laid crippled his neck broken at his feet.
"Hmmp! What power wasted on a mere child!" The Sayian went to move his wrist.
SMASH! Piccolo didn't know how he had manage to gather so much power and at that moment he really didn't care a raging red aura surrounded the Namek as he slammed his body against Turles just before the Sayian could finish off the boy. However as quickly as the power came it evaporated from the Namek causing him to fall to the ground now crippled himself. Kao-ken times ten it seemed was indeed to dangerous to perform and maintain which Piccolo had found out to his great pearl.
Standing up after being knocked over Turles quickly got back up onto his feet and eyes the Namek with both angrier and disappointment.
"That was a very stupid thing to do" The Sayian growled stamping his foot down onto Piccolo's gut breaking ribs and causing the Namek to spit up blood. "Their I was considering to recruit you into my new and improve Crusher Corps and their you go and ruin it for a pesky little runt"
"Go-" Piccolo groaned the Namek was delirious but his concern for Gohan still broke out though the haze
Turles silenced the Namek mid-sentence with a chop to the neck cutting off Piccolos airways in one swift movement. If the Namek hadn't possessed the ability to regenerate he would have died their and then.
"I have to say I'm disappointed in you" Turles murmured staring down at his newest victim. "In your fight against Burter you showed so much cunning and potential I was impressed. But look at you now beaten down like a dog you really to much on that Kio-ken or whatever it's called technique you have no stamina what so ever!"
Turning away from the Namek who he presumed was going to die due to lake of oxygen the Sayian warrior turned his attention back to Gohan. The young boy was still breathing barely his life slowly slipping away with each passing second.
"Psk" Turles spat flicking his wrist and firing a ball of energy at Gohan's unconscious body.
Turles turned around and walked away back toward Piccolo the Sayian didn't even register the soft explosion sound behind him that signalled the end of the pesky boy's life. Reaching up the Sayian picked a fruit off the Tree of Might and took a bite.

Sweat poured down Nail's face as he focused all of his energy on containing the monster that was Lord Friezia. The Namek had held the tyrant for a full ten minutes and the efforts of which had certainly taken it's toll.
Down below Friezia struggled against the fiery bounds that was the Pronga's Imprisonment all the while giving Nail a colourful description of what he was going to do to him.
"... And after shoving that their I am going to rip out your eyes one at a time and feed them to you before I rip off you arm and use it as a baseball bat to smack your head around and then..."
Nail ignored the threats and was more concerned about the fact Moori and Dende were no where near Gohan or Piccolo both of who's life energy had dropped to almost nothing and was fading rapidly. "Come on" Nail growled inwardly "Hurry up"
That was when the Namek sensed it a dark aura tainted with evil heading over to Moori's and Dende's position and fast.
It had happened all too quickly the momentary distraction took just a slight bit of energy away from the bounds around Friezia and that was all the Frost Demon needed to break free and charge towards the Namek who had been responsible for causing his imprisonment.
With a roar Friezia forced his fist though Nail's stomach breaking though the skin. The Frost Demon quickly unclenched his fist and grabbed onto what he hoped were not to vital organs (Wanting to prolong the Namek's suffering for as long as possible) and pulled ripping them out from Nail's stomach. Blood and gut's splashed out onto Friezia's face and the Frost Demon licked his lips hungrily as he listened to the sweet sweet sound of Nail's screaming.
Nail wanted to just die their and then, to close his eyes and to just let death take him so that he could rest in peace and escape the world of pain that he found himself in however a strong sturdy voice from within his mind spoke out to him to spur him on.
"No Nail! I am sorry my son but we cannot die yet! Our people are relying on us and we have to give Moori and Dende time. All we have is hope now and that hope dies with us" The voice from within him was Guru's and though it was like pressing his face into ice cold water Nail opened his eyes and stared down into Friezia's own as he began to regenerate the damage the Frost Demon had caused him.
"Is that all you got" Nail cried throwing a futile left jab forward which was as expected caught by Frizia's right hand.
"You know what!?" The tyrant smirk as he squeezed Nails hand like a lemon causing blood to seep though his fingers as he crunched it in his grip. "I hoped you were going to say that"
And with one swift movement the Frost Demon ripped the Namek's arm right out of it's socket causing Nail to scream out in agony once more.

Goku knew as soon as Piccolo had fought his battle with Burter that their was no way his son or the great Namekian warrior could defeat the great power that was Turles all the Sayian could hope for was that he could get their in time to save them. Travelling alone having sent his father to retrieve two Namek's they had sensed earlier before (Moori and Nail) the Sayian rushed forward towards the field of battle.
Gohan's power when he was in his enrage state was something to behold and beyond what thrash hold Goku could have ever expected his son to reach at such a young age and inexperience/lack of control was the Demi-Sayian's down fall as he was left crippled and fighting for his life. Still too far off to be of any help the Sayian allowed himself a sigh of relief as he felt Piccolo's sudden surge in power as the Namek thwarted Turles attempt on Gohan's life. However the Namek's strength soon failed him and he too was left defenceless and broken on the floor.
Moments later terror struck Goku once again as he felt the malice in Turles Ki which was once again directed at his son.
"Nooo!" Goku yelled in horror as he sped forward in vain to try and save his son life. However deep down the Sayian knew it was useless he was too far away to save his son.
Tears stream down the Sayian eyes as he urged himself to go faster pushing his Kao-ken higher and higher as he tried desperately to make it in time.
"No,no no" Goku roared as he painfully felt the ball of energy that would put an end to his son's life travel almost in mocking slow motion move towards his son.
The ball of energy was about a foot away from Gohan as the Sayian just as the Sayian appeared high above. But Goku was too late to do anything but watch as the ball suddenly exploded and a cloud of smoke engulfed the Demi-Sayian from his view.
"Nooooo!" Goku roared in despair tears rolling down his eyes. The Sayian was so consumed with grief he couldn't sense the huge growing power level beneath him.
~DBZ~
The King of Sayian's and his small army of royal guards made it to Turles location just in time to see Gohan's explosion of rage the resulting power surge exploded all the Sayian's scouters at around the 50,000 mark.
Nappa went to move forward to interfere in the fight however the giant was stopped by Vegeta's arm which the King had place out in front of the Sayian General. The giant man glared at Vegeta obviously annoyed at being held back from a fight before he quickly recomposed himself and wore a natural expression. However the glare did not go unnoticed by Vegeta who had caught it out of the corner of his eye. The King made a note of it and pushed it to the back of his mind for now. Vegeta was not the type of man to take lightly to disrespect and if he had to put Nappa down in order to prove a point he would do it without a seconds hesitation.
However for now the King's mind was focused on the young boy who was currently fighting one of his most hated adversaries who now Vegeta thought about it look oddly similar to Bardock and his son Kakarot. "Bhaa these pesky third class Sayians all look the same to me" The King thought before speaking out to his fellow Sayian's who he knew were itching to get their hands on Turles.
"I want you to hold your ground no one is to engage until I command it!" Vegeta ordered not even bothering to turn around to face his men.
"But why" One of the gathered Sayian's boldly asked however he was silenced by a side way's glance from the King who had taken up his trademark arm's crossed posed.
"I'm interested in that brat's fighting ability a power that strong is unique in any full grown warrior across the galaxy let alone a child"
So the Sayian's watch the battle unfold. Vegeta was very disappointed at how the fight ended as the boy lost very quickly despite his rather high power due to his lack of control and decision making really did let the boy down and the King felt had he been in the brats shoes at that moment in time he would have fared a lot better. however something else had caught the King's eye at the exact moment Turles chop connected against the back of the boy's head.
When a Sayian is old and they lose their tail it is almost impossible for them to grow it back as once they fully matured they more or less stay the same for the rest of their life making the regeneration process non-existent as they no longer produce the chemical's that they used to in order for their body's to manufacture the tails growth. However a young Sayian's body was completely different when young the chemicals in the Sayian's body react to the outside world around them in order to make them more adaptable to their current location hence why it was common practice for a low class Sayian to be sent on their first assailment as a baby in order to give them the best chance they could get at completing it.
However the most common and universal facts about a Sayian child was that in times of great personal stress or danger if they were currently tailless the chemicals in the Sayian's body would go into over drive and produce a tail almost out of thin air in the hope that their would soon be a full moon which would in theory empower the child enough to escape death.
This exact chemical Process happened at the exact moment Turles chopped connected against Gohan's neck which crippled him. A brown furry tail burst out almost instantly out of Gohan's backside just at the moment Piccolo rushed forward to tackle Turles.
Vegeta didn't know if it was because of the boy's great strength or the fact that he was one of his Sayian kin's men or even the fact he just wanted to ruin Turles own plans. But as soon as the Crusher Corp leader fired his beam of energy that intended to kill Gohan once and for all. The King of all Sayian broke rank from his troops and rushed towards ball of energy that was about to extinguish the young Sayian's life once and for all.
Vegeta made it just in time to kick the deadly ball of energy down towards the Namekian ground away from Gohan. However smoke poured out instantly and shielded the King from the watching Goku's view.
Well what do you think of that chapter folks :P I was kinda disappointed with the lack of reviews last chapter kinda put me down :( But I really tried to step it up a gear this chapter and I really hope you all enjoyed it :)
Right the obvious question I can see here is how did Vegeta and his group get to the battle before Goku and well that's easy. The reason is unlike Goku, The king of Sayian's healed up after their battle so right now Goku is really quite tired and is not going as fast as he normally would. Also he has Bardock slowing him down were as Vegeta's men our all far stronger and faster than what Bardock is.
Also I know a lot of you said about the battle between Piccolo and Burter and how their power levels seem quite high. It's because they kinda are. Burter is a lot stronger than in cannon around about 100,000 now this may seem quiet high but I must remind you that unlike cannon he has eaten fruit from the tree of might and also training is a lot more serious now the Frost Demons are controlled by the Southern Ruler.
I tell you what instead of posting power levels now what I will do is when I have finished this story arc(Which could be another 3-6 chapter's from now) I will do a whole chapter that will cover everyone's power level from when I stopped doing them to the end. How dose that sound ?
Anyways Please review.
