Chapter Three.
The Z Warriors had renewed hope with the arrival of Goku, or Kakarot, as the Saiyajin Prince, Vegeta, called him. Goku's fighting ability was unequaled on all of Planet Earth, so much so that they needed him to have even the slightest chance of defeating the wicked invaders.
"And here we are on the scene," said the reporter softly into the camera. He was, obviously, afraid of the two montrous powers battling only about one kilometre away from him, even though he was unable to sense the actual level of power being portrayed to him.
The camera-man was also very nervous, and it showed. Every few seconds he would toss his head to the left to view what was occuring. He had silently decided that if it looked too dangerous, he would ditch his camera, and run, even though it would probably cost him his job.
"Two, rumoured, invaders arrived recently from space. It is unknown why they are here, but most people believe they are here to take over our planet, and wipe the human race out of existence. I, in my own opinion, do not believe this theory. I believe that they are merely here to seek a new challenge, and leave," stated the reporter. The two Saiyajins, exchanging blows, continued to grow closer to the news crew, and, unfortunately, Goku realized too late....
Bulma, Master Roshi, Oolong, and Puar were at Roshi's house, listenly very attentively to the news broadcast on television; the crystal ball was broken. The onlookers were soon horrified to see the shocked face of the reporter, screaming, and to see the screen go blank.
Teary eyed, Bulma asked,"Do you think Goku can beat them?"
Master Roshi's response was unclear, and more disturbing than calming. "I'm not sure. The Saiyajin Prince, Vegeta, and his comrade, Nappa, has extremely high power levels. This will be a difficult fight for Goku, and, even if he survives, he will be terribly injured."
The battle against the Saiyajin, Nappa, was not going very well for the unfortunate warriors whose power levels barely exceeded one thousand, if at all. Besides Goku, Piccolo was the only one with such a power level, and even he was unable to go one-on-one with Nappa.
Piccolo wished to fall back, but he felt leaving Goku with both Vegeta, and Nappa unfair, and thought it would cause his Saiyajin friend to die at the hands of Earth's invaders. The Namek had a plan that he thought might be able to be used to finally overwhelm the Saiyajin, Nappa, but needed time to discuss it with the others. However, the way he got the time was most definitely not the way he wanted....
On King Kai's planet the group (Bubbles, Gregory, and, obviously, King Kai.) were sitting outside, nervously watching the battle that raged below. As always, King Kai's mind was filled with doubt, the two Saiyajins that stood before Goku were still more powerful, and skilled, even with Goku learning the Spirit Bomb, and Kae-O Ken attacks.
King Kai, who had at one time been the most powerful being in the galaxy had watched (Over years of eating rice, and tofu.) his powers deteriorate, and great evils arise in the galaxy. This angered him, yet he knew that he must find a power to help him in his life quest. King Kai was overjoyed when Goku arrived, but now, even after his training, King Kai was still doubtful whether what he used to be could save Earth, or not.
Nappa, angered at himself for being so lazy in the earlier part of the battle now gathered up his full strength, and began to overcome the Z Warriors that were combating him with ease. Goku noticed this, but could not concentrate long on the matter, lest Vegeta manage to deliver a decisive blow.
This caused Goku to fight with even more power, attempting to destroy the Saiyajin prince before his friends perished. With horror, he watched as Nappa, seemingly effortless, bombarded Krillin, and Yamcha with several blasts of Ki energy. Krillin managed to stumble to his feet, but Yamcha wasn't as lucky. Nappa rushed onward toward him, and tossing off the desperate attempts of Gohan, and Piccolo, sent Yamcha to the next dimension....
"No, Yamcha," said King Kai in a weak voice as he collapsed to the ground in sorrow. Bubbles, and Gregory rushed to his side, and were soon informed of Yamcha's demise. The young, and promising human soon appeared on King Kai's planet, with the halo, proof of his death.
"Yamcha," King Kai said, half elated, half deep in mourning. "Your friend, Tien, is over there training. If you would like to join him, maybe you can be wished back to Earth before the battle is over," he said hopefully, although doubtfully. "I'll talk to Kami. I'm sure Mr. Popo would retrieve the DragonBalls for your assistance."
