*Chapter 8*
Yamcha stood in front of Nappa, who stood taller than any of the other fighters in the team. However, he was by far the weakest, and Yamcha knew he stood a fair chance of winning.
"Now you little pest, let's have a look at your power level..." Nappa muttered to himself whilst pressing the button on the side of his scouter. A reading turned up, and Nappa smiled. And then, he started to laugh out loud. Yamcha grimaced at this. The guy wasn't only evil...he was a freak as well.
"Ha...Your power is only at 1,200. You don't stand a chance against me!"
Yamcha smiled to himself. It was time to let go.
"...That's what you think."
Suddenly the long haired hero burst into a shining bright aura and with his power the ground began to shake from underneath everyone. Nappa almost fell to the ground with the increase in strength, but stayed on his feet, albeit it barely. This was impossible! Jeice looked at Bardock, who looked at Guldo, who looked at Kiros, who looked at Vegeta, who then looked at Nappa. And Nappa was afraid. Of that there could be no doubt.
"What the hell are you?!" roared Nappa as he jumped forward. His plan was to get Yamcha before he finished powering up, and if he had moved a couple of seconds sooner it would have worked too. However, Nappa simply hit thin air, and his scouter indicated that something was behind him. In the air right above his position was a glowing Yamcha, who was now as powerful as Nappa himself... If not more so.
"NO WAY!" yelled Nappa as he looked upon the readout on his scouter. 3,650. His own power level was 3,600 and that meant that both sides were basically even in this bout. It would be all down to technique and skill, of that there would be no doubt. Meanwhile on the sidelines Vegeta was smiling. Now perhaps that pathetic Nappa would get some sort of workout. He'd never liked that guy anyway. A disgrace to his Saiya-Jin heritage he thought. And then his thoughts went back to the fight, where Yamcha was desending at great speed upon his behemoth target.
Nappa was visibly shaken by this development, and he was easily stuck into the air by Yamcha's first massive blow, fist to face. At once the Saiya-Jin stopped himself dead in the air with a small burst of KI, but before he could react Yamcha appeared right behind his huge bulk and threw his two fists into the warrior's back. A standard move which caused Nappa to plummet and smack off the ground below, creating a massive dent in the ground and shaking of the earth around.
Yamcha could see the opportunity that had now arisen and immediately his hands were held back with customary cupped palms to accompany the move that was about to be performed. A beam of strong blue-ish light licked around the body of the fighter and the words slickly jumped from Yamcha's mouth onto the battlefield and into the ears of those who watched.
"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!!!" he roared as the massive burst of energy flew towards the almighty Saiya-Jin fighter. There was no time to dodge for Nappa, and as he tried in vain to defend himself against the oncoming blast he stuck his arms out in a reflex move to try and save his own life. The attempt was completely in vain, and the explosion blew the fighter into pieces.
"What the...?" Jeice shouted, surprised that the battle was over so soon.
"What a weakling..." muttered Vegeta shaking his head at the fight that had just occured. "It's not as if we needed him anyway. Let me tear the others apart..."
Bardock turned to Jeice and looked at him. Not in fear...but surprise certainly.
"Hey Jeice, I'm getting pretty high readings for these guys...over 4,000 for 4 of them."
Jeice nodded. This was certainly right.
"Ha!" shouted Piccolo "You're all fools. You have no idea of our true potential."
At this the Namekian erupted into a green aura, and the ground began to shake underneath him.
"But...let us show you!"
And with that all of the Z Fighters apart from Yamcha who was still in the air began to charge up to their maximum potential. The ground almost shattered beneath them all from the sheer powers which were being unleashed by the warriors of Earth. It seemed almost unbelieveable to them that they could have progressed so much by the time Radditz's friends turned up on their planet. But not as surprised as the group of invaders themselves.
"WHAT?! There's...NO WAY!" yelled Guldo taking a step back as his scouter went haywire under the stress of the power increase.
"This is crazy!" Bardock shouted as he looked upon the Z Fighters "How the hell could they have increased their power levels by so much in such a short space of time! It's insane!"
Jeice and Kiros simply stood in amazement. This...was too much. And suddenly the scouters stopped, and the Z fighters stood ready to fight at full power.
Bardock tapped his scouter again to make sure it was working properly. But it was. And it read:
Gohan - 20,000
Piccolo - 19,000
Tien - 14,500
Krillin - 13,500
Yamcha - 3,400
Chaozu - 2,500
"What?! That little boy has a power level of 20,000!!!" roared Kiros as he checked for the third time. Jeice was amazed. The Namekian had a power level of 19,000 as well, which was pretty wild. But the boy interested him. He looked only around the age of six or seven. But he was stronger than any of them.
"Alright guys! Time to fight!" shouted Jeice at his men. They looked at him, and he could see that they were now scared. Afraid of a real fight. But then something clicked inside Bardock, and he roared in anger looking upon the Namekian fighter who had helped to kill his son. He would be next. And Bardock had done his fair share of gravity training on the way to Earth. Bardock would be ready. Ready to kill, and avenge his son.
Yamcha stood in front of Nappa, who stood taller than any of the other fighters in the team. However, he was by far the weakest, and Yamcha knew he stood a fair chance of winning.
