RATING: PG-13
PAIRINGS: None
WARNINGS: None
NOTE: This is set in an alternate universe. Please do not read it if you do not like A/U's. As I have mentioned, this is a story about B/V. There will be a bit on G/CC as well. If you don't like them, please don't read. And YES! I know that everyone is OOC (out of character) other than Vegeta. Like I said, this is an A/U. It is MY A/U. So if you don't like it, don't read it. In the anime there are five members of the Ginyu force, however, I wanted to make it four so that the Earth warriors would at least stand a chance. If not, Tien, Yamcha, Krillen and Chao-tzu would have died. If you have the time, please also read my partnered fic (partner is Kureeji) called Eyes in Dark Corners. One final note, a kind thanx goes out to all who have reviewed my fic. If you care to, please review it again. Suggestions or comments are always welcome (constructive critism is good). The more reviews I get, the more I feel like writing (common sense eh?).
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Dragonball Z and am in no way connected to them. I only wish I was, than I'd have at least SOME $$$. Seeing as how I am broke, sueing me would do you no good. =Þ
Last time on Approaching Danger:
In outer space, four pods sped towards Earth at a tremendous speed. Each pod held one member of the highly feared Ginyu Force. A smile was set on each face as they understood their job, and they liked it. Their orders had been simple. Destroy whatever resistance there was, keep the rest of the creatures as slaves and await Frieza's arrival. They hoped there would be lots of resistance. The more there was, the more fun they could have.

Bardock stared in shock. What? The Ginyu Force was here already? He watched in horror as his students were beaten around as if they were nothing more than dolls by a very tall and broad guy. His horror turned to anger as he saw Chi Chi collapse from a ki blast that the tall, broad guy had thrown, obviously too much for her to handle. Bardock urged her to get up, but she didn't move. She wasn't dead yet, he could still feel her ki even though it was very weak.
Suddenly, he felt a large amount of energy near him. The energy was so intensive that it blew many of the weaker guards to the ground. He turned around in search of the owner of the power, hoping that it wasn't one of the Ginyu members. Bardock could not tell who it was, but he was sure it wasn't one of the Ginyu members. Whoever it was looked very familiar, however, he couldn't say for sure who it was since the person's face appeared blurry and unrecognizable. The person had blond hair and a tail.
A tail? Was it a Saiyan? No. It wasn't possible. He and Kakkarot were the only two remaining Saiyans. Besides, Saiyans were notorious for having black hair as there had never been a pure blooded Saiyan who didn't have black hair.
The person with the high power level obliterated the Ginyu Force within seconds. The Ginyu Force had no chance whatsoever.
Bardock awoke from his sleep. Was that another vision? If so, who was the blond haired hero? He closed his eyes hoping that they would, in fact, be saved by a hero, whoever it may be.
*****
Vegeta landed on yet another one of Beta's planets. This time the creatures were ready for him. They had obviously known he was coming and the Prince figured that Beta had probably sent out a warning for him. He smirked. He liked the idea of being considered dangerous. Beta had definitely taken notice of his actions. There was no doubt about that.
He threw a blast at the nearest group of creatures standing by his pod. To his great surprise, the ball of energy was deflected away. He hadn't thought that the creatures would be strong enough to even touch his ki ball without perishing. Vegeta glared in the direction that he had sent his first ki ball and almost gasped. His heart flew into his throat as he realized who stood in front of him.
*****
The Earth warriors were on edge. Bardock had said that the Ginyu force would be arriving on that day, but as to the hour, he wasn't sure. No one knew what to expect from the Ginyu force except for Bardock. All they knew was that the Ginyu force were creatures with very high power levels.
Kakkarot was pacing impatiently in front of Piccolo, the Princess, a few guards and his father when the three warriors all glanced into the sky. They could sense four very high ki levels. "They're here." Kakkarot wasn't sure who had spoken but it did not matter. The three warriors took to the air leaving the Princess and her guards to follow by foot.
Tien, Yamcha, Krillen and Chao-tzu arrived just in time to see the four space pods open up. The four Earth warriors shook in their boots, literally. Just by feeling their ki levels, they knew that the four of them combined could barely contain even one member, let alone try and kill all four. The aliens stepped out of their pods and glared at the three warriors in front of them.
"Damn. Is this the only resistance we will get?" a fat, short, green guy asked the others.
"Sure hope not. This won't be much fun. Lord Frieza should have just sent a small unit of his army here instead of us. This is going to be a waste of time." The tall purple alien had spoken.
"Well, let's get this over with guys." The tallest guy spoke, almost as if he was bored.
Despite the fact that the three Earth warriors dispised Kakkarot, they couldn't have been happier to see him arrive with Piccolo and Bardock. The three new arrivals showed no signs of any fear.
The Ginyu force stared at the three new arrivals. Their power levels were slightly higher. They recognized one of the new arrivals as a Namekian and the other two as...SAIYANS! They had thought the Saiyans had ceased to exist when Frieza had killed the Prince. It made no difference. They would kill these warriors and end that pathetic race anyway.
Kakkarot glared coldly at the four creatures. He sensed that he could beat any one of them if it was a one on one fight, but there was no way that he could beat all four of them at once. Bardock hovered beside his son, showing no signs of fear either. Piccolo just glared with his arms crossed over his chest.
While the Ginyu forced sized up the new arrivals, some other earthlings began to arrive. The guards and soldiers showed up looking awfully scared. Chi Chi came as well. Kakkarot felt a lump form in his throat when he saw her. She seemed to grow prettier every day. At that moment, he realized just how much he had missed her. He desperately told himself that he only missed the kindness she had shown him, nothing more. He didn't miss her lips on his, he didn't miss her body pressed closely to him. No, he just missed her company. He wanted to apologize for what he had said, for hurting her, but his heart and his pride wouldn't let him. She was, after all, the reason why his father had been so ashamed of him when he was younger (if you don't know what I mean, re-read chapter one when he almost blew her up).
Kakkarot felt Chi Chi's energy level and wanted to tell her to go away. He wanted to tell her that she would only get hurt here. She was no match for any of the Ginyu members.
Chi Chi stared at the four new aliens. She was scared, very scared. She wanted to run away and hide from this threat, but she knew she wouldn't. She knew she couldn't. She wasn't going to act like a baby while the rest of her friends stood brave and fought. Her sole purpose for coming was to help her friends in the fight, not to see Kakkarot, she didn't miss him. She had, afterall, been the one to avoid him, to stay away from him. After the incident when he had said that he had never and would never care for her, she had gone home, crying and sobbing uncontrollably. She had locked herself up unwanting to speak or see anyone else. No, she hadn't missed him at all. At least, that's what she tried to tell herself.
"Looks like more fun boys." The tall purple guy had spoken again. The Earth warriors were keeping their ki under check so that their true power was not showing. "Let's play." Kakkarot knew that the Ginyu force couldn't tell just how powerful he and Piccolo really were. They were underestimating their enemies, a very big mistake that Kakkarot would make sure they would pay for.
"What do you want here?" Bardock asked in hope that his vision was wrong and they weren't here to kill them all, but he knew that he was hoping against hope. He also wanted to stall as long as possible. He wanted to fight, but he also wanted to prolong the lives of the soldiers and his students for as long as he could.
The purple guy who appeared to be their leader spoke up. "We want you all dead!"
The four members of the Ginyu Force launched themselves at the Earth warriors, the purple guy headed towards Kakkarot, the short, green, fat guy towards Bardock, a blue guy towards Piccolo, and the tallest guy towards Tien.
Kakkarot saw Chao-tzu, Krillen and Yamcha jump to Tien's rescue just as his own attacker reached out to punch him. He blocked the punch and tried to connect on his own punch only to have it blocked. Kakkarot and the purple guy continued in this manner, each person increasing the speed of their punches and kicks only to find they were being blocked. They were going so fast that none of the guards and soldiers, who were watching in awe, could actually see them. Finally, Kakkarot landed a punch on the purple guy's face and stomach sending him flying a few feet away. He than powered up his kamehameha and released it at the alien.
Captain Ginyu, which was the purple guys name, was sent flying down by the force of the blast and couldn't regain control of himself so he slammed hard into the ground. A look of pure shock was written on his face. He hadn't expected such a strong attack from such a young Saiyan.
Chi Chi, to her own surprise, had been watching Kakkarot's fight with the purple guy attentively. She almost yelled out in joy when she saw that the other warrior was no match for Kakkarot as he was knocked away and sent flying towards the ground. She marvelled at the speed that the warriors had been fighting at. They had been nothing more than streaks of light to her. Chi Chi was forced to dodge out of the way as a body came hurtling towards her. She cursed herself silently, realizing that she had been staring and concentrating on nothing but Kakkarot's fight.
Chi Chi quickly averted her attention from Kakkarot and watched as her friends and comrades were thrown around as if they were nothing. She couldn't help but wince when Yamcha was kicked square on the jaw and was sent flying through two trees. A few seconds later, Tien followed Yamcha's lead and picked himself up off of the ground where he landed, not far from Yamcha. Chi Chi sighed. She knew she wasn't strong enough to beat the tall, big guy, but she had to at least try and help them. She leviated and flew straight towards the frenzie of bodies that had become the Earth warriors fighting the Ginyu Force member whose name was Recoome.
Kakkarot took advantage of the few seconds he had when Captain Ginyu was falling to take a look around the battlefield. Piccolo was punch for punch with the blue guy whose name was Barter. His father appeared to be doing okay against the weakest member of the Ginyu Force, the fat, green guy named Guldo. However, Krillen, Yamcha, Tien and Chao-tzu weren't fairing too well against Recoome. All of the other specially trained fighters were either already dead or too injured to fight. In fact, they were doing so badly that Chi Chi had joined in the fight.
Kakkarot's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chi Chi trying to land a punch on Recoome but instead get hit, hard in the stomach. He was just about to fly over to aid them when Ginyu reappeared in front of him. Kakkarot barely blocked the punch in time. Once again, the two fighters became immersed in their punches and kicks. Kakkarot had the upper hand on Captain Ginyu, but just slightly so. Suddenly, a heart piercing scream rang through the air.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CHI CHI!"
Kakkarot's blood froze in his veins. That was the Princess's voice. He wanted to turn around and look at Chi Chi. He wanted to see what, if anything, was wrong, yet a part of him kept telling him that perhaps he didn't want to know. His curiosity finally overcame his fear and he blasted a ki ball at Captain Ginyu who threw his own ki ball at it in order to force Kakkarot's blast away from himself.
That was all the time Kakkarot needed. He took a quick glance in Chi Chi's direction and his heart almost stopped. There she was, lying unconcious on the ground with a deep wound in her side. Her arm was lying at an almost impossible angle and her ki was dangerously low. The Princess was holding Chi Chi's head on her lap as tears streamed down her face.
Kakkarot felt a cold hand clamp down over his heart. No. She couldn't die. He wouldn't let her die. She couldn't leave him. How dare they hurt her! How dare they even lay a hand on her! Fueled by his rage, his power level began to rise alarmingly fast.
Captain Ginyu tried to pick up the Saiyan's new power level with his scouter but found that he could not. His power was increasing too quickly. In fact, his power increased so quickly that the scouter blew up. Everyone else stopped fighting as well as they watched in shock at the Saiyan's new, unbelieveable power level, which was still growing. Many of the weaker soldiers and guards were thrown off their feet.
Kakkarot couldn't hold it anymore. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Bardock had been waiting for the arrival of the blond haired hero from his vision. He had kept his senses open the entire time that he was fighting Guldo, hoping to sense the hero when he came. However, he had felt no such ki. Now, as his son's power level continued to rise, a look of understanding and confusion came over his face at the same time.
Kakkarot's hair began to change colors, as did his eyes. Many seconds later, the sun reflected it's light off of his now golden colored hair while his eyes settled into a shade of teal.
Bardock stared at his son. It was impossible! It was only a legend! This couldn't be happening. After all, Kakkarot, by right of birth, was only a third class Saiyan. But no! The proof was right in front of his eyes. The proof had been in his vision as well. His son was now part of the elite, part of the legendary warriors. His son was now, a Super Saiyan.
