Chapter 9
DAMNIT! I'm the only one of us who even stands a chance against one of these goons. "All right, which one of you weaklings will I be fighting."
Zarbon frowned at Vegeta's bravado. "Frankly Vegeta you're only at 16,000. Even Cui here could beat you. You know, that's not a bad idea. Cui, why don't you kill him. Dodoria, you take Nappa. I'll kill the other two myself.
"It'll be a real pleasure to kill you Vegeta." Putting down the Dragon Ball behind him, Cui leapt forward and kicked Vegeta hard in the face, knocking him several feet backward.
Vegeta was about to counter attack when he heard screaming behind him. Risking a quick look behind him he saw Gohan fire a massive beam. He jumped out of the way in the nick of time, and Gohan's blast flew by. Cui was taken by surprise at the size of the blast and leapt out of the way as well.
"COWARD!" Dodoria stepped into the blast's path and swept his arm down at it to knock it away. The explosion made everyone cover their eyes and turn away. When they could see, they saw Dodoria lying on the ground with most of his arm missing and a giant hole in his chest.
Zarbon ran over to where Dodoria lay dead. "HOW! How could such a puny kid kill Dodoria? You will pay for this Vegeta! You too you little brat!" Zarbon charged forward, rage clouding his face.
Vegeta looked back at Gohan. "Hurry kid. Do it again. If you can kill Dodoria you can easily kill Cui. Then we might have a chance."
Gohan looked up at the Prince of Saiya-jins. "Sorry Vegeta. It used up to much. I can't do it again."
Vegeta groaned under his breath and whipped his head back around to face Zarbon. But Zarbon rushed by him, and kicked Gohan hard. Gohan went flying through the sky and was too tired to stop his flight. He hit a cliff hard, and screamed in agony. He fell to the ground, limp. Zarbon raised his hand and fired a blast that shattered the cliff all around Gohan and brought tons of rocks down onto the young warrior. "There, I'm too good to you Saiya-jins. I even buried the kid for you."
Radditz leapt forward at Zarbon but a swift kick in the stomach sent him flying backwards through the air into a tree. He grunted once and lay still. Zarbon looked over to see Nappa fully engaged in a fight with Cui. Zarbon smiled as he brought his full attention onto the Prince. "Now you die."
"Guys, that power up really worked. I can't believe how much stronger I am now. I don't care how strong this Frieza guy is, I'm sure we can beat him now."
Tien looked over at Yamcha, who was flying slightly ahead of the rest. "We don't want to face Frieza if we don't have to. The Dragon Radar says we're almost at the balls, but they are by a bunch of strong fighters. I don't think I sense Frieza's Ki near them, but we're gonna get them and get out of there fast. Yamcha, I can tell your not flying as fast as you can, so we're going to give you all three balls and you're going to fly back to the Great Elder as fast as you possibly can. The rest of us will follow if we can, but if we have to we'll fight as a rear guard."
"Sounds like a plan Tien, but we'd better get down. We're almost there." The Earthlings slowed down, and then went to ground. They were finally there.
A strong punch sent Nappa sliding backwards. "Y'know Nappa. Even though you did get a lot stronger you're still no match for me." BEEP. "Huh, what? Strong power levels over there? NO! THE DRAGON BALLS!" Cui blasted over to the location of the Dragon Balls.
Zarbon's scouter had been knocked off during the fight with Vegeta, but he heard Cui yell. He punched Vegeta hard in the gut to stun him and then walked after Cui. Then he saw the people by the Dragon Balls and sped up.
Tien tossed the last Dragon Ball to Yamcha. "Hurry Yamcha, here's the last one. You scram now."
"Right, see you at the Great Elder." Yamcha blasted off and took off towards the Great Elder with speeds that couldn't be compared.
"Choutzu, you follow after and help him if anything goes wrong, me and Krillin will hold these ones as long as we can." Choutzu nodded and blasted off, knowing that he was out matched at this fight.
Cui blasted up and stopped in front of the two Earthlings. Looking around frantically, he finally accepted the truth. The Dragon Balls had been stolen. "ZARBON! They stole the Dragon Balls!"
Zarbon glared at the two Earthlings. "You're going to take us to them right now, and maybe we'll let you live."
"Heh, you have got to be stupid. We're not taking you anywhere. Now get ready to fight!" And the four fighters squared off.
"NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON ME!" Vegeta leapt forward and slammed his fists into Zarbon, knocking him to the ground.
Tien looked over at Vegeta. "Thanks for the help, but I can handle him. You'd better help Krillin though, I don't know how long he can hold out." Tien leapt forward and slammed his foot into Zarbon sending him flying. Tien kept after him and didn't let up.
Vegeta decided he might as well take care of Cui while Zarbon was distracted, and Nappa joined him. Cui was barely winning against Krillin, and when Vegeta and Nappa joined the fight he was pissed. "Damnit Vegeta! You should be helping me. We both work for Frieza. We should be working together against these fools."
"HAHAHA, have you forgotten Cui? Frieza wants us dead. He specifically ordered you to kill us. If you think we'd be foolish enough to join you then you're even stupider then I thought you were."
Krillin wasn't sure exactly what was being said, but he did know that he gained two strong allies. Good. Maybe with these two guys helping I'll be able to beat this guy. He's a lot stronger then he looks, but he makes a lot of errors.
Cui knew that his days were numbered unless he stalled for time to get Zarbon to help him. "Wait, Vegeta. I know something that you want to know. About your home planet's destruction!"
"If you think bringing up Vegeta's destruction will save you then your quite mistaken!" With that the three fighters attacked Cui. The two fights were now in full swing.
DAMNIT! I'm the only one of us who even stands a chance against one of these goons. "All right, which one of you weaklings will I be fighting."
Zarbon frowned at Vegeta's bravado. "Frankly Vegeta you're only at 16,000. Even Cui here could beat you. You know, that's not a bad idea. Cui, why don't you kill him. Dodoria, you take Nappa. I'll kill the other two myself.
