Chapter 7: The Super Saiyan Seven Squad
Chao-Zu watched as Goku and Vegeta did their daily workout which meant trying to beat
each other to a pulp. Right now, they were up in the air, throwing punches so fast that they
seemed to be a blur.
Misty walked up to Chao-Zu and looked in the same direction he was looking at.
"What are you looking at, Chao-Zu."
"Goku and Vegeta fighting," the short fighter replied. Misty looked around but couldn't
see them.
"Where are they?"
"Right in front of you."
"But I can't see them."
"That's because humans on your power level can't see Saiyans."
"Oh. Hey, look at that!" Chao-Zu looked up to see a streak of light fall toward the
forest near their location.
"What's that?" Chao-Zu asked.
"I was hoping you could tell me," Misty replied.
"Nope, never seen that before in my life." What Misty didn't know was that Chao-Zu
thought he knew what it was. Whenever something like that happened, a Saiyan or some other
super-villain appeared, wondering why Kakarott didn't destroy Earth like he was supposed to.
"Let's go check it out." Suddenly, Misty found herself flying with Chao-Zu. She
screamed for half of the way there before Chao-Zu told her to relax. He was telekinetically
moving them to the line's ending point.
When Chao-Zu and Misty arrived, they saw a large sphere in the middle of a self-made
crator. Six other spheres were around it.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Doesn't look like any spaceship I know of," Chao-Zu replied.
Suddenly the spheres opened up one-by-one with the center one opening last. Several humanoid-
like creatures popped out. There were two short ones. Still taller than Chao-Zu, but short
none-the-less.
The ones that came out of the outer spheres were drop-dead ugly. But the guy who came
out of the center sphere made Misty want to drop dead. He was gorgeous. His skin wasn't dark,
but rather a deep red. His hair was an deep ebony and pulled back into a single braid which
still made his hair drop to the small of his back. His eyes were a deep blue but occasionally
had a sinister yellow glow to it.
What was common about all of them was that they all wore some sort of armor plating with
wide shoulder guards and a device that hung off their left ear (or what passed for an ear) with
a glass screen covering their left eye.
"I don't get it," one said. He had a grogily voice and looked like an organic version of
Darth Vader. "Kakarott, Vegeta, Nappa, and Ravitz were suppose to destroy this planet."
"Obvioussssssssssly they didn't. Sssssssssssssstupid Sssssssssssaiyansssssssssss, can't
even dessssssssstroy one measssssssssssly planet." That was from a snake-like creature with
legs like a Kimono Dragon and a chest like the shell of a turtle.
"Oh quiet down, Reptide," their leader said. He had a voice that commanded and received
respect from his troops. "Just because you weren't born, but created out of a tube doesn't
give you right to put down others that were created organically."
Reptide hissed at him. "Jusssssssssst becaussssssse you were made leader,
Ssssssssssssatassssssstro, doessssssssssn't mean you are my masssssssssster." Satastro gave
Reptide an evil glare which caused his eyes to glow yellow. Reptide immediately shut up.
"Well, looks like we'll have to pick up where those four left off," grogily-voice left
off. "I say we just start blasting and to damn with whoever comes in our path."
"Interesting plan, Dreadlock. But we have to do this with the finesse that Saiyans are
reputable for."
"Saiyans!" Chao-Zu's whisper was enough to send Misty's legs into a stationary dance.
In other words, she was nervous.
"How come I have a feeling you're not exactly jumping for joy at the sight of these
people."
"This particular area has a habit of getting visited by Saiyans who want to destroy the
planet. First Goku when he was a baby, then Ravitz, followed by Nappa and Vegeta then those
lousy space pirates who planted the Tree of Might. Plus there's Garlic Jr., Cell, that weird
Doctor Gero. The list goes on. We have to warn Goku and the others." As Chao-Zu and Misty
turned to leave, Misty accidentally stepped on a dead stick, breaking it in half.
The two turned to run but a voice called out, "exsssssstendotail!" A long, green coil
wrapped around Chao-Zu's little body.
"Chao-Zu!" Misty cried.
"No," the little doll-like figure shouted back. "Get out of here. Warn the others!"
Misty took off, tears streaming from her eyes due to fright.
Chao-Zu squirmed in the wrath of Reptide and let out a scream. "TIEN!"
**
Charizard let out a fierce roar as it charged Vegeta. Vegeta let loose with an array of
laser blasts that were easily dodged by Charizard. Charizard let out a fire blast which Vegeta
whipped right back at it. Charizard was struck from its own fire blasts and fell to the ground
unconscious.
Vegeta got ready to deliver the fatal blow when a red energy beam collected Charizard.
Vegeta forgot that it was just a test of Charizard's powers. Charizard decided to participate
at the very least, it would give it something to do. Ash didn't even command it.
"Huh? Where did it go?" Ash held up Charizard's pokeball. "In here," the boy replied.
Vegeta growled. "That is a coward's way to battle."
"Oh, you're just upset because you got beaten by a boy and his dragon," Bulma said
slapping him on the back of his head.
"It's not a dragon, it's a Charizard."
"But it flies like a dragon."
"Yeah."
"And shoots fire like a dragon."
"True."
"And lives in a cave like a dragon."
"No! Charizard lives in this..." Suddenly Misty came crashing through the forest and
straight into Goku.
"Whoa, hold on. Where's the fire?" At the same time, Tien suddenly screamed and
crouched over.
"Chao-Zu!" He cried. "Chao-Zu is in trouble."
"That's what I was trying to say," Misty said as she was trying to gasp for breath.
"Chao-Zu was captured by these space pirates called Saiyans."
"Saiyans?" The Dragonball crew asked her at the same time. They knew this was trouble.
"I can teleport myself and two others to Chao-Zu's current location," Tien said. "Any
volunteers?"
"I'll go," Goku volunteered.
"Me too," Ash said.
"But Ash, this isn't like fighting Team Rocket. Or the Nikaron. They won't use Pokemon
in battles, they'll use their fists and feet, like Goku and the others. Even a kick from them
could kill you." Brock made a good point. But Ash wasn't scared of that. He'd been through
too much to be scared now.
"I'll do it."
"Is he insane?" Misty asked.
"Yup," Brock nodded.
"Did I criticize him for it?"
"All the time."
"Are you two ready?" Tien asked. Goku and Ash nodded and each put a hand on each of
Tien's arms. Pikachu leaped onto Ash's shoulders.
"TEREPOOTO!" Tien cried the Japanese term of teleport and all three of them disappeared.
**
Satastro held Chao-Zu in one hand, sufficating him. The Saiyan let out a blood-freezing
laugh as he activated his scanner.
"Not bad. Power level at 2,000. Not bad for a little shrimp." He then threw Chao-Zu
into the tree. The toss wasn't hard enough to break the tree, but it was hard enough to give
Chao-Zu one hell of a backache.
"Chao-Zu!" Tien cried. Then, "SOLAR FLARE!" A powerful burst of energy struck Satastro
but the red Saiyan just shifted his feet.
"Unit identified as Saiyan Kakarott, brother to Ravitz, son to Gohan," one of the short
ones with a voice like Ash's pokedex said.
"Kakarott," Satastro greeted. "What an honor it is to meet you at last."
"Who the hell are you?" Goku asked.
"My dear Kakarott, you don't know who we are? I'm surprised. Let's put on the normal
routine for our old friend, eh, boys?" They then did an opening that would rival Team Rocket
in the weird, whacked out, and stupid looking opening introduction department.
From out of nowhere, a deep voice, like a radio announcer, blared at the same time,
threatening-type music began to play.
The voice spoke:
"They come from the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Their mission: to improve life for
the Saiyan race. They are:
"Reptide: genetically-created superbeing with the enhanced powers of all cold-water
livers.
"Dreadlock: Super-powered Cyborg.
"Atron: trans-morpher!
"Yin and Yang, the embodiments of opposites who work together for the good of the team.
"Energon, the Saiyan with the power to take solar rays and channel them at his enemies.
"And their glorious leader, Satastro.
"Together, they are..."
"THE SUPER SAIYAN SEVEN SQUAD!" All the members struck overly-dramatic poses with
Satastro in the middle.
"You sure don't look like Sayans," Tien said as he picked the fallen Chao-Zu up.
"Ah, what do you know, Earthling?" Yang asked. "You wouldn't know a Saiyan from a
snail." Tien got all set to throw another solar flare but Goku was one step ahead of him.
"KAMEHAME-HA!" Goku cried as he let loose as energy blast. A technique he learned when
he was four from Master Roshi. Satastro caught the energy blast and reflected it back at the
group. The resulting explosion blasted Ash, Goku, Tien and Chao-Zu.
"Get them, Pikachu!" He threw Pikachu at them. Pikachu let loose a lightning bolt that
was so impressive, that Dreadlock was actually afraid it would hit them. But Yin and Yang
joined hands and created a forcefield. The lightning bolt was reflected. Goku and Tien teamed
up but they were reflected by the twin terrors.
"If we could get the Dragonballs," Tien told his two comrades. "We could wish these guys
into oblivion."
"Dragonballs?" Satastro said interested. "Yes, the Dragonballs. Ravitz did mention the
Dragonballs. SSSS, listen up. The first one to bring me all seven Dragonballs gets the honor
of being my right-hand man!" Like a bullet, the other members of the group took off.
Just as they left, Piccolo and Vegeta arrived along with Brock and Yoshi.
"What happened here?" Piccolo asked as he placed Brock down.
"There were this group who called themselves the Super Saiyan Seven Squad," Ash
explained. "They took off to look for the Dragonballs."
Vegeta growled. "Oh man. Not those guys."
"You know about them, Vegeta?" Goku asked.
The Saiyan prince nodded. "They were a rebel faction on Vajita. They claimed to be
representing the people and opposing the king but nobody would follow such freaks seriously.
They were chased off Vajita just before Frieza destroyed it. I thought they were gone for
good."
"Well, they're back. And they're after the Dragonballs. We have to stop them."
"We have to get the Dragonballs ourselves," Brock told them. "We have to get Misty's
memory back."
"Piccolo, Tien, Vegeta, get back to my place. Inform Gohan and Krillin of the situation. Then
all of you head over to Capsule Corp. and get Bulma's Dragonball Radars. We're going to need
them." Goku, Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta picked up Chao-Zu, Brock, Yoshi, and Ash and took off.
Chao-Zu watched as Goku and Vegeta did their daily workout which meant trying to beat
each other to a pulp. Right now, they were up in the air, throwing punches so fast that they
seemed to be a blur.
