Chapter 4: The Saiyans Arrive
Piccolo led Dende and Rekka to a desert several hundred miles away.
"So what now?", Rekka asks.
"Now...we wait.", Piccolo replies. "I won't lie to you...Saiyans are the strongest fighters in the known universe, and many of them, in theory, possess the potential to reach levels of power so high that they could easily destroy every planet in this Galaxy."
"Every time a Saiyan is defeated and lives, they come back stronger the next time around. They only way to defeat these Saiyans will be to destroy them...do you have objections to that, Rekka?", Dende asks.
"Since I have to...I will kill them.", Rekka replies calmly.
Piccolo looked over in surprise as Goten and Gohan landed nearby. "What are you two doing here?"
"We've been training since we were little for this moment. We're not going to back down...", Gohan says.
"I hope you know what you're getting into...but if you think you do...you are welcome to stay and fight.", Dende says. "Can you sense their power levels better yet, Piccolo?"
"Yes, I can. This will be a tough battle for the rest of you. Stick behind me if you can."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hours pass, and the Saiyan space-pod is almost in Earth's atmosphere. The five warriors wait patiently for their foes to arrive. All of a sudden, they see a bright flash in the sky.
"Here they come...", Rekka says.
The pod crashes into the land several hundred yards away, creating a large, smoking crater. The hatch slowly opened, and four Saiyans stepped out.
The largest one, and apparently the leader, walked toward the five warriors waiting for them. "I see we have a welcoming committee. Greetings! I am Rassok, and these are my colleagues...", he says as he motions to two smaller male Saiyans and a young female one. "We're here to destroy this planet."
Piccolo walks forward. "We can't allow that."
"Ah, yes...two Nameks and three human children...we're quite frightened...", one of the other two male Saiyans said.
The other one chimes in. "Yeah, what are you going to do, kick our shins?!", he says with a hardy laugh.
"I'll be in the pod...tell me when you are finished with them...", said the young female Saiyan.
"What's the matter?", says Piccolo with a grin. "Is she afraid to fight?"
"She is my daughter!", snaps Rassok. "She sometimes comes on my missions and fights if needed. She is quite skilled."
Piccolo grins. "Too bad...she'll have to see her father die at such a young age..."
Rassok was a bit taken aback by the comment. "Time to get underway...I will take care of this Namek...you take the others."
Rassok lunges at Piccolo. Much to Rassok's surprise, Piccolo dodges and knees him in the back. Rassok gets angry and takes another lunge, but finds his face hitting the ground faster than he can react.
"Namek! How can you be this strong? It does not make sense!"
"I eat my vitamins...", Piccolo says with a grin.
All of a sudden, a look of horror goes over Piccolo's face. "NO! Not now!", he screams.
Dende knew what it was. Piccolo had a reoccurring health problem that saps his energy and causes him to become weak. Dende quickly left the battle with the other two Saiyans and flew Piccolo over to the side. Seeing that Rassok was not being fought any longer, Rekka attack him from behind with a ki blast. Rassok was surprised, but the ki blast didn't do much. Rassok turned around and punched Rekka. Rekka went flying into a nearby rock.
Meanwhile, Gohan and Goten were managing to hold their own against the other two Saiyans, but they both knew that they would tire out before the pure Saiyans did.
Rassok then looks over at the ailing Piccolo. "Time for the Namek to die!", he yells as he charges up a large attack and releases it at Piccolo.
"Nooooooo!!!", yells Rekka, as he quickly jumps in-between Piccolo and Rassok and takes the full brunt of the blast.
