A golden glow began to surround the mighty Saiyan warrior as he began to power up. His jet black eyes began to burn with blue/green fire, and he let out a terrorising roar which shook the very core of the surrounding buildings. Sailor Mercury and Sailormoon wrapped their arms tightly around Chibi Usa's shivering form as the ground began to shake with tremendous power radiating from the almighty Saiyan...
Z Warriors A.E.
~ Chapter Three ~
A gentle breeze surrounded the Son residence, ruffling Chi-Chi's clean washing on the thin clothesline. Pushing one of her long ebony strands away from her face, Chi-Chi turned to where her husband and son were training in mid-flight.
Fighting again?! Well at least that oversized green monster isn't around. She sighed, clearly irritated. She had a right to be protective of her only son. Nevertheless, being Gohan's mother, she did notice that Piccolo had quite a positive influence on her son, not that she would ever admit to it.
Chi-Chi smiled, feeling a sudden wave of pride wash over her as she watched Gohan train. He was so determined, yet so innocent. The thought of something happening to him
Her thoughts were suddenly cut short when she noticed a large, scaly tail poking out from under a crumpled white sheet that had been dragged off the clothesline and onto the muddy ground below.
"Ahh! My clean washing! Hiiya dragon! Bad dragon, shoo!!" Chi-Chi angrily snatched the sheet off the playful young dragon and growled. "I just washed this! Son Gohan! Take this creature away right now!"
Gohan paused in mid-flight, and turned to where his mother was shaking an angry fist at him. "Ehh, what's mom so worked up about?" he asked timidly.
Goku took one look at his angry wife beside the ruined laundry and sweatdropped. "I think we'll be safer up here. Don't worry, she'll cool down in a while."
Gohan's childish grin widened. Maybe we should take mom along to meet these androids, he mused as Hiiya dragon continued to tangle himself up in Chi-Chi's washing.
Hiiya dragon playfully rolled onto his back, making a purring sound in the back of his throat. Chi-Chi threw her hands up and groaned as the young dragon continued to stare at her with those big dark innocent eyes. Chi-Chi sighed, knowing that look all too well. Somehow, the damn lizard must have picked it up from her naïve husband.
Bending down on one knee, Chi-Chi
leaned over to scratch the young dragon's belly.

Radditz stood with his huge, muscular legs parted, fists clenched, and a mass of unruly golden hair glowing brighter than the full moon above. His wicked smirk was even more evil than before. His sharp pointed fangs were bared as the smirk grew into a malicious grin.
Sailormoon squealed as another energy blast shot past her, missing her face by half an inch. Ami's brow furrowed, and she grit her teeth angrily. This man, no, creature was toying with them! He had chased the remaining Sailor Senshi for miles, occasionally firing a round of ki blasts to keep them running, keep them afraid. It was as if he were feeding of their fear!
The blue haired princess of Mercury wrung her hands in worry. Even with Sailormoon and Mercury's most powerful attacks combined, this Radditz' wasn't even fazed.
Finally, the three girls had been forced into the centre of a park to hide.
I feel like such a coward! Ami thought bitterly.
"If we had the others we could defeat this, this jerk!" Usagi whimpered meekly as her crescent moon began to glow and she began to weep bitter tears. Chibi Usa hugged Usagi closer as she too began to cry for their lost friends and the seemingly hopeless situation.
Chibi Usa was near to losing all hope. Week after week, month after month, she had searched for the elusive Silver Crystal. But each lead had come up a dead end. With the Negaverse, and this mysterious Saiyan warrior suddenly appearing out of nowhere, how could she ever hope to see her family again?
The thought of being alone forever scared her more than the towering Saiyan hot on their trail.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Radditz called out in a singsong voice. His eyes fell upon the dark, shadowy thicket where the three girls were hiding. He grinned. "So he huffed, and he puffed, " Radditz brought the palms of his hands up so that they faced the small group of bushes, "and he blew the house down!!"
His maniacal laughter startled the three girls in hiding. Sensing the danger they were in, Usagi threw herself at Ami and Chibi Usa as an enormous heat blast charged towards the thicket.
Chibi Usa wailed with outstretched arms as she saw the blast hit her Lunaball. In a flash of bright light, the thicket had disappeared. When the giant smoke cloud cleared, all that was left was a smoking crater. Chibi Usa burst into fresh tears. Now there was no way for her to contact home. She had nothing left.
Radditz snickered as he watched the little girl with the candy pink hair. Honestly, it was pretty pathetic to be wasting all of his time and strength on three weaklings such as these Sailor Scouts However, he had been trapped in Hell for such a long and unpleasant time. He supposed he could always call it an excuse to stretch his muscles a little
"Oh little girl," he sang. Chibi Usa twirled towards him with wide, teary eyes. Radditz walked towards her until the two were mere inches apart. Chibi Usa couldn't move. Her legs had frozen in fear as the giant, glowing Saiyan stared down at her with that terrifying, bloodthirsty grin.
Chibi Usa, somehow taking control of her fear, turned on her heel and fled for safety. However, she never counted on the Saiyan's speed. In a flash, Radditz's hand shot out and grabbed the little girl's head, and lifted her clear off the ground.
A small, golden crescent moon suddenly appeared on the young girl's forehead, and soon she was glowing in an aura of white light.
Usagi and Ami, dazed from Radditz's recent blast, watched with wide eyes as a beam of light shot down from the sky, engulfing the young girl and the Saiyan. Radditz quirked an eyebrow as the beam of white light began to grow wider, engulfing everything in its path; including himself.
Radditz growled and leapt back as the blinding light flooded his vision. "You little brat!!" He screamed in frustration and began rubbing frantically at his stinging eyes. When his vision returned to normal, Chibi Usa was cowering before him in a little ball.
Suddenly he threw his head back and began laughing like a madman. All the years he had spent trapped in Hell had turned the Saiyan utterly insane, and bent on revenge.
Seeing her chance, Sailormoon raced towards Chibi Usa's side. Radditz's head snapped up in a shot, and blasted the ground in front of the Moon Princess before she could get within a few feet of the little girl.
"Oh no, this one's mine." He grinned, baring his yellow-crusted fangs. Since Radditz had been released from Hell, his lust for revenge had grown. The time was nearing. Soon Son Goku's world, along with this one, would be nothing but rubble.
That made him smile.
The look in his eyes was terrifying; the ruthless, barbarous, inhuman look of a madman suffering from envy. He had, of course, learnt of Lord Freeza's demise by the hands of his brother.
A brother who should have stayed dead! He cursed mentally, grabbed the candy-pink haired girl by the throat. At least he could take his anger out productively.
Tears ran down her cheeks as the
little girl screamed desperately. Radditz grinned and tightened
his hold on her neck. Bending down to her ear, he whispered
smugly, "The louder you scream, the tighter my grip gets."
As if to prove his point, Radditz gave another squeeze, making
Chibi Usa cough and wheeze.
"Let go of her!" A new voice suddenly demanded. Radditz
turned to where the voice had came from, only to have a dark blur
rush at his face, and claw at his eyes. With a sharp cry, Radditz
dropped Chibi Usa to the ground.

Bulma Briefs stood with her arms folded tightly across her chest, and scowled at the Gravity Machine from the window. That prince' was so stubborn. Why did he have to put himself through so much? She had realised a long time ago that Vegeta was not training for those androids. He was training to become the prince of all Saiyans' once again, and it was his pride that kept him going. Not fear for the many lives that would be lost and the blood that would be shed at the hands of the ruthless Androids.
Yet still, in a funny way, she respected him. His fierce determination had surprised Bulma at first, and she had almost pitied him. But nownow she felt something a little alarming and rather disturbing; something which ran much farther than pity or even respect
A sudden jolt of the living room floor brought her flying back to reality. Steadying herself, Bulma gasped, putting a hand against her thumping heart. "I wonder what that was." She frowned feeling a little queasy. She took a quick glance around her living room before turning back to the window. Dark clouds were beginning to appear, and a faint rumble of thunder echoed over the city.
Bulma groaned, as it began to pour. "Guess I'm stuck in here all day."
"Talking to yourself, woman?" Vegeta grunted. "Feh, typical." He muttered between stuffing large handfuls of sandwiches into his mouth. Bulma rolled her eyes and collapsed onto a large comfy couch.
"If you're going to eat in front of me, would you mind chewing with your mouth shut," she snapped at him. So much for that respect, she thought bitterly.
Vegeta simply grunted something in reply before turning on his heel and heading back towards the kitchen, passing Mrs Briefs as he went.
"Oh hi, Vegeta deary."
Mrs Briefs smiled sweetly without receiving a reply. "Such a
sweet man," the blonde, overly cheery woman said then paused
for a moment. "He'd make a very faithful husband, you
know, Bulma." Mrs Briefs spoke with meaning behind
her words. Bulma blushed crimson and was about ready to snap back
at her mother's crude statement when another tremor shook
the living room floor; this one a little stronger than the last

"Tuxedo Kamen! Luna!!" Usagi wailed, tears flowing from her eyes. The dark furred feline was glancing from left to right, searching for the other Sailor Senshi. Only Sailor Mercury, who was currently attending to the fallen Chibi Usa, was left standing. Usagi couldn't help but feel a little jealous as she watched Tuxedo Mask race to the little girl's side. She needed him now, more than ever.
"Usagi! You must contact the other Sailor Scouts immediately!" Luna scolded. "You should have known better than to fight without th-" Luna suddenly stopped short as Usagi fell to her knees in tears.
The dark furred feline stared anxiously at Ami. The blue haired Princess gave Luna a grave, remorseful look before turning back to the injured Chibi Usa. The bruises on the little girl were already turning dark shades of purple. She was finding it hard to breathe. Usagi crawled towards her friends with a look of despair on her face.
Luna understood now. "I-I don't
believe it," she murmured softly.
"Well, well. What do we have here? A talking cat?"
Radditz glared darkly at Luna. She had torn three long bloody
claw marks down his face. Wiping away the crimson blood streaming
down his face, the towering Saiyan smiled his malicious grin, and
walked towards the remaining defenders of Earth.
"Wonders never cease to exist"
he whispered in a low hoarse tone.
~*~*~*~
The young, demi-Saiyan hissed angrily as he held his breath in mid-air, waiting for his opponent to strike. This battle was a test of his senses rather than his power. The thin itchy blindfold wrapped around his head, prevented him from using his eyes in battle, and instead, forced his feelings to guide his every movement. It was a hard test, and one he was not too familiar with.
He imagined himself as his father, facing off the devastatingly powerful Freeza on the ex-planet of Namek. In his mind's eye, Gohan could see the vile monster, in his third form, glare at him through narrow, glowing eyes.
Gohan clenched his teeth and growled impatiently as the sweat slowly trickled down his forehead. His every muscle was burning with desire to defeat his imaginary foe.
His ears suddenly pricked back as he felt the familiar pulse of his father's energy off to the right. Gohan ducked just in time as his father dived towards him. Then the battle began, and soon they were nothing but a blur of arms and legs tangled together as they fought at impossibly fast speeds; thrust, parry, kick, dodge
Gohan thrust his fist forward, but the second his hand seemingly reached its destination it met nothing but air. Unsure and confused behind his thick, rough blindfold, the young boy began panicking. In a split second, Goku had materialised behind, striking out with his heavy booted foot, sending Gohan tumbling through the air.
The dazed young demi-Saiyan shook himself slightly before peeling the heavy, wet material off his face. His eyes and forehead were hot and sweaty from wearing the blindfold all day long. Goku laughed cheerfully and rested his hands on his hips.
"Alright son, that was a good workout for today. What's say we go grab some dinner now, ay?"
Gohan felt his heart sink. "Aww, come on dad. One more round, please?" He gave his father a pleading look. "Just another half hour, please, please?" But no answer came. His father suddenly appeared to be in a world of his own.
Gohan studied his father for a moment. Goku looked as if he were listening for something. His head was ever so slightly tilted to one side, and his dark brow was furrowed in apprehension.
"Uhh, dad?"
Goku put a finger to his lips to silence his son. "Shh, just listen," he whispered. Gohan, mimicking his father, tilted his head to the side.
After a few minutes, the young boy shook his head and shrugged. "I don't hear anything."
Goku growled softly and nodded his head. "Exactly." Gohan frowned, bewildered by the way his father was acting all of a sudden. "Listen again. Do you hear anything. Anything at all?" Gohan could hear the desperation in his father's voice, and quickly obliged.
Once again he tilted his head to the side and listened intently. Neither dared to breathe as the seconds dragged on. Soon Gohan began to get a little frustrated. The sound of the babbling brook rushing below their feet had been silenced. The birds, which could usually be heard chattering away in the trees, had disappeared into thin air. Not even the gentle hiss of the mild breeze sweeping across the land could be heard from where the two Saiyans now hovered in the air.
There was nothing. Not a sound. It was as if the two had gone deaf.
But then the silence was suddenly shattered as a flock of birds escaped from their hiding place in the lush green valley below, noisily buzzing past the two surprised Saiyans. Goku frowned curiously, and turned his eyes towards the horizon where the startled flock of birds were fleeing from.
Thunderous looking clouds were bubbling on the horizon line, growing like weeds in the darkening sky. Crimson lightning crackled in and out of the dark, rumbling clouds, scorching the ground below in massive, colorful explosions.
Gohan's eyes widened in terror as the silence died. The clouds were gathering speed, getting faster and faster. It was an awe-inspiring sight, but the noise the storm made as it tore across the sky was like some kind of dying animal, screaming in terror as its heart was brutally ripped from its chest. Goku felt a sudden jolt of panic rush through his chest, and without a second thought, he had grabbed his son's hand and streaked across the sky.
"D-dad?!" Gohan yelled as his father continued to increase his speed. The young demi-Saiyan couldn't understand why his father, the great Super Saiyan, was so terrified of this storm. The only fear Gohan knew his father had was of needles. But then, maybe it wasn't the storm his father was afraid of. What if he had seen something else within its depths? Maybe he had seen the androids. What if they had arrived sooner than expected? But then againwhat would the androids be doing hiding in a storm? His fuzzy mind continued to ask more of these bizarre questions over and over again.
However, these questions were soon answered when he glanced over his shoulder at the raging storm behind them. Gohan's eyes bulged out as he saw the ferocious storm rip the land to shreds; cutting through it as if it were nothing but paper! The storm had taken on a different appearance. No longer was it the churning, mass of dirty black clouds.
The boiling, bubbling storm clouds had now come together in the shape of an enormous fiery-red beast with the head of a crocodile, the hindquarters and forequarters of a dragon and enormous leathery wings like those of a bat.
It paused in mid-air, flapping its gigantic, leathery wings and opened its jaws wide open. As Gohan watched the demon-like creature, he noticed the many hundred rows of glistening, dagger-like teeth set in its massive jaws. Then the creature took a deep breath before ejecting a tremendous fireball that tore across the land, scorching the lush green fields below.
It was headed towards them.
