The Soul and The Flesh Part XXXI "Let me have them. I'll kill all six at once." Nappa said, grinning like a schoolboy.
"Sure. As you want." Vegeta shrugged, not really interested.
"Thanks for letting me have all the fun..."

"But Nappa, don't touch the girl, we may need her. After all, she is one of us." Vegeta said quietly in Saiya-go. Nappa scowled, but Vegeta's cold black eyes brooked no argument. The huge Saiyan began to power up, and the Earth began to shake in response to his strength. The Defenders were appalled by what they were feeling, and tried to prepare themselves for the attack.

"I never thought it would be so much!" Piccolo called through the wind coming from Nappa as the giant laughed in homicidal glee.

"Get ready!" Raimi shouted, leaning into the gale, which was nearly blowing her off her feet. Gohan almost fell, and she grabbed him, both of them amazed at this Ki. He was much stronger than when he was on Vegeta-sei!

"Watch out, he's getting ready to attack!" Piccolo warned, as Nappa began to look them over. Chauzu was forced to put up a shield of energy to protect himself from the rocks and debris that were flying about. Nappa's eyes instantly went to him.

"Be careful, Chauzu!" Tien warned, too late. Nappa used his Saiko No Kogeki, a breath based Ki attack on Chauzu, which sent him flying into the rocks behind him, but luckily the boy was only stunned.

"Lessee, who's next?" Nappa said as he once more looked the group over. "Hey, you just struck my funny bone!" He laughed and focused on Tien. Tien hissed and dropped into a defensive crouch, ready for the attack. Nappa roared and leapt forward engaging Tien in serious fighting. After a few blows that already had Tien reeling, Nappa jumped up in the air and dove at him.

"Look out Tien!" Piccolo warned, but it was too late. Nappa slammed his fist into Tien's forearm, and severed it, cut it clean off mid-forearm. The warrior grabbed it howling with rage.

"Just you wait until it grows back!" Tien yelled, his blood dripping onto the dry earth.
"You won't be around that long!" Nappa laughed, and licked his lips, looking at the horrendous wound he had caused. Raimi felt sick at his behavior.

"So, he's breakable." Vegeta joked. Gohan gasped and stared in shock, and Raimi shuddered with horror. Chauzu was getting worried; even though the loss of a limb was not necessarily permanent for someone of Tien's race, he was severely handicapped right now, and they all knew it. Nappa swung at Tien again, but he jumped up and readied a blast of Ki in his right hand. However, Nappa shot up, so fast that Tien couldn't react as the Saiyan kicked him to the ground. Tien landed flat on this belly, and lay there, winded by the impact.

"Look at that stubborn bastard! He just won't die!" Nappa mused, floating in the air.
"No...we need to get to his tail somehow." Piccolo growled as Gohan shivered next to him. Kurilin suddenly shoved past Piccolo and ran over to Tien, calling his name. Raimi called to stop him, but it was too late.

"Why that little rodent!" Nappa hissed, and sent a mighty blast at Kurilin. It hit the ground and exploded massively. Kurilin was thrown from his feet, flying across the field. Raimi covered her eyes, but didn't step away and the others braced themselves against the shock wave. When Raimi opened her eyes, she gasped in shock.

"I never dreamed of such a blast, this thing is bottomless!" Piccolo gasped, amazed. The hole left by the blast opened only inches from his and Raimi's feet. He looked at her, impressed with her bravery. They looked up at Nappa. Raimi noticed that he had kept the blast a good fifty feet from Vegeta. Not that he could hurt Vegeta, but why piss his boss off?

"Chauzu! Chauzu! He's gone! He must have...if he was caught in that...!" Kurilin suddenly cried.
"What...What?" Tien called, panicked.

"Nappa, you're being careless." Vegeta called, as Chauzu came out of nowhere and latched onto Nappa's broad back. "What?" Nappa grunted and reached back to pull the tiny warrior off, but Chauzu was dead center between Nappa's shoulders, and Nappa couldn't reach him easily.

"Chauzu!" Tien gasped, but the boy ignored his guardian and held on, as Nappa wriggled about, really stretching to try and pluck him off.

"Why...you...little..." Nappa was putting out some serious effort now, as Vegeta was frowning, not impressed with Nappa's performance so far. The giant Saiyan was stretching until his tendons creaked, but Chauzu was simply too tiny. Finally Nappa got one hand on Chauzu's head, but then the boy put out a power surge that Raimi had felt in training at Kami's sanctuary. It felt like a splash of hot acid, and obviously even Nappa thought it hurt. He snapped his hand away and hissed in pain. Then the energy got stronger, and sank into Nappa's back through his armor. Nappa's back arched instinctively to try to get away, and then he looked over his shoulder and flew backwards, slamming his back into a high pillar of rocks, trying to crush his tiny opponent. Chauzu hung on, his energy giving him nominal protection.

"Chauzu get away from there!" Tien ordered, getting desperate. Chauzu was the weakest of them, and couldn't last long under this abuse, as Nappa slammed him into cliffs and bluffs repeatedly.

"Oh, Chauzu!" Gohan yelped, and covered his eyes.
"Watch, them Gohan! I said watch! Don't turn away! Honor his bravery..." Piccolo ordered his pupil. Gohan gasped at the Namek for a moment then forced his eyes back to the horrid spectacle.
"You're asking for it!" Nappa warned the tiny warrior.

"Chauzu, get off! That's enough!" Tien ordered, but could only stare as he suddenly realized what Chauzu intended. He turned to Raimi, who shook her head. He looked up again as Nappa rose high in the air, Chauzu's energy a blue halo shining from his back. Nappa scanned the area, looking for the worst thing he could find to shove the pest on his back into.

"Chauzu, what are you doing!" Tien gasped. He looked back to Raimi desperately, and she reached out her hand to him, her eyes full of sympathy. He shook his head and looked back at the pair in the sky, feeling helpless. With a roar of rage, Nappa began to dive, racing towards a nest of rocks bristling with sharp points.

"Goodbye my friend. Save yourself!" Chauzu called to Tien telepathically.
"No! Stop it! You can't do this!" Tien cried, helpless to prevent his friends' suicide. The others, who hadn't heard Chauzu, were watching puzzled and worried.

The hum of overload hurt Raimi's ears, and even Vegeta winced at it. The sparkling blue light was beautiful as Chauzu pushed his power level incredibly high. The light spread all over both Chauzu and Nappa, and began to cloud the Saiyans vision.

"What?" Nappa said. Vegeta frowned, and his arms dropped to his side, as he stepped forward, wondering if Nappa could fend this off. Both Chauzu and Nappa increased their efforts, racing to finish each other off.
