Note: I apologize for the delay. I know it has been a week and I am
sorry about the wait for chapter 4. But it is up now and I will try to
have chapter 5 up faster. Once again I do not own DBZ, blah, blah, blah.
Dende quietly tended the garden on Kami's lookout. The short green Namek was not expecting any visitors so he decided to take the afternoon off to himself and gather his thoughts. The new guardian of the earth position (given to him after Piccolo fused with Kami) was tiresome work but he was diligent about it. He had recently spent his time going over human history smiling at the wonders they had created and appalled at some of the horrors they constructed. Still, he was proud of his position and took it al in his stride.
Dende was suddenly startled by a loud thump on the platform. He immediately stood up and looked behind him only to see a familiar face. Piccolo, looking still strikingly like Nail, stood silent a few dozen meters away from Dende. He wore his traditional outfit, the extended shoulders and the weighted training cap. His green face, if possible, was looking rather pale. Dende wondered what could have put Piccolo in such a startled state. He shrugged, assuming it would be known soon to him if there was any problems. Dende stretched his back and waved at his fellow Namek brother and jogged over to where he stood.
"Hey! Hi Piccolo! Nice to see you!" Piccolo didn't respond but rather trembled a bit, he put his hand on Dende's forehead and smiled at him.
"Good to see you as well. But I cannot chat, we have a problem." Dende assumed as much giving Piccolo's obviously shaken stature. He motioned for Piccolo to continue. "I received a startling message that a new threat, a very powerful one has arrived on earth. Another rumor is that the threat may be human and I have come to find out everything you know about the extent of human power." Dende was shocked at the news but shrugged at Piccolo's request.
"I don't know anything, but Kami may have. Lets go check his notes in the library." Dende said, Piccolo nodded and motioned for Dende to lead the way. They began to walk to the main building to where the main library was. "Have the other warriors been notified?" Dende suddenly asked. Piccolo sighed.
"Yeah, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta are on the scene. I was called but only Tien and Krillin were called from the humans. They are to weak to fight in this battle so Tien, reluctantly, was assigned to evacuate anyone in that battle area. Krillin was supposed to help to. I searched for him briefly but I could not find him."
"I wonder where he could be?" Dende asked in a low tone as they entered the building.
***
Goku yelled aloud in pain as his body slammed into the rock wall. Vegeta leapt up in the air preparing to attack the figure on the ground. The enemy the two Super Sayjin's had been fighting for a hour seemed to be far superior and neither had laid a hand on him since Gohan left. Goku could sense Gohan racing back to the scene but did not want his son to be hurt. Yet, he knew that Gohan must be involved. Those three were the only ones who could possibly stop this, thing. Goku could only pray from some assistance from Tien, Piccolo, Yamcha and the rest. Especially Krillin because he had done nothing but train before his accident with Gohan and he would be the most help out of all of them. He hoped he was well enough to fight.
The biggest mystery was what was this assailant that was so easily throwing aside two Super Sayjin's. It was inconceivable that one be so easily humbled, but two was a staggering thought. Goku shakily got to his feet, feeling his strength return to him. He blasted into the air and hovered next to Vegeta. The assailant stood silent on the ground, in the exact same position he started in. He had never attacked them since he punched Vegeta, but every attack they threw at him was easily countered through the way of pain. He looked at Vegeta and Vegeta's eyes were saturated with nervousness.
"Vegeta. I am getting the distinct impression we are being toyed with." Vegeta nodded but did not answer. "Vegeta, you go down and distract him and I will blast him into the next world. Just find some way to make him turn his back to me. When the beam is dangerously close to hitting you, run! Got it?" Vegeta nodded and powered up, blasting down at the mystery guest on the ground. Goku cupped his hands and kept his eye on the figure on the ground.
Vegeta charged, his arm coiled back to deliver a earth shattering blow. The ground got closer and closer with every passing second. Time seemed to stand still, and Vegeta could almost see the white in his opponents eye. The black hair figure prepared for Vegeta's onslaught but was rather suprised when only feet away from slamming into him, Vegeta vanished. Only a blurry after image was left and a small cloud of dust. The warrior looked around frantically but saw only a white flash as Vegeta's boot slammed across its face. It moaned in pain as it twirled about and fell to the ground. Up in the air, Goku felt the time was right.
"KAAAAAAAAAAA!! MEEEEEHAAAAMEEE!!!" he screamed aloud as he felt his power level surge up. He was confident his beam would hit, for it was unlikely a fighter from another world had the skills they did in detecting rising power levels without a scouter. He targeted his enemy as the energy was almost maxed. "HA!!!!" He yelled as he felt a surge of power and his body recoil back as a explosion of light and Ki energy flew forth. The Kamehameha wave had been unleashed, he only hoped Vegeta could get out of the way. The sky darkened as the beam flew fast and hard at the enemy
Vegeta jumped at the warrior with a fury of punches, all easily dodged. Vegeta felt a force with unfathomable speed grab his wrist and a bone crunching knee ram into his gut. He screamed aloud as pain welled within him. He felt a chopping attack to the back of his neck so fast Vegeta could not respond. Finally he felt a clump of hair on his head along with his neck being gripped hard and his body being lifted off the ground. Vegeta was delirious at this point, but could feel a massive power surge directly in front of him. He assumed Kakarott had fired, but why was the energy directly in front of him?
Finally, Vegeta felt a windup and his body being hurled into the air. He felt a heat source growing closer with every second.
"VEGETA!!! NO!!!" Goku screamed as he saw the figure, who had instantly reacted to Goku's power increase, pick up the defeated Vegeta like a sack of potatoes and hurl his body at the beam. It was out of Goku's hands now.
Vegeta screamed aloud as he felt his body rack with pain. He writhed and struggled but the intense heat and pain of the Kamehameha wave was too much from him to bear. Vegeta felt the air fly from his lungs and his body strike the earth with incredible force. Everything went black and the last sound he heard was a overwhelming roar and then deafening silence.

Piccolo frantically looked through the books in Kami's library. He had increased his speed because he felt a fading power level. That better not be Gohan, he thought to himself.
"Piccolo! I found it!" came a frantic child-like voice. Piccolo smiled and flew across the large library to where Dende sat at a desk, a large tome in front of him. Piccolo jogged next to him and saw Dende flipping through pages. The book was dusty and holes from some manner of insect were apparent through the length of the hand written text. The handwriting looked like that of Kami's, now Piccolo's.
"What have you found?" he asked the little Namek. Dende took a moment to make sure this is what they had been looking for. He smiled and pointed, tapping a certain page with his green finger.
"This is a note page written by Kami hundreds of years ago. He had been doing research on human power levels. It reads as follows:
This is the account of Kami, research 10231 sub section A. I have come to discover that the maximum extent of human power is not what had been my original hypothesis. In fact, humans have more power in them than they ever dreamed possible. However, the form of power humans can achieve (I have dubbed "Super Human") is so incredibly hard to achieve it would be almost impossible to raise power so much in one lifetime. This powerful form is to be noticed by unexplained changes in physical stature and a dramatic increase in power. As well, my research indicates that the transition to Super Human, the first time, is met with a violent chemical reaction in the subjects brain. The subject would be confronted with uncontrollable urges to destroy and not in control of his own actions. Fortunately, the Human body at its present stage is not well equipped to handle this increase in power. The human's will not be ready for this stage of evolution for at least another million years. If a human were to go to this form (however unlikely) before his body was ready to handle it, it would cause horrible damage to the subject. The body would implode upon itself followed by massive cellular destabilization. I am almost sorry I have come across this scientific information, for the effects of a "Super Human" upon the earth would be to devastating to bear.
Piccolo could not speak. He was shocked at the words that jumped up at him from the page. Dende was shocked as well. If this was a human, could he possibly be a "Super Human" like Kami had spoken of? Filled with this new information, Piccolo felt a urge to fight this new threat. He began to run out of the door until he heard Dende stopping him.
"Piccolo!" Dende yelled. "You go fight, I will try to come up with more information that will help you beat him. Take this!" Dende threw a small device and Piccolo caught it. He looked at it, it was some sort of communicator. "Put it in your ear! I will call you when I have more information!" Piccolo nodded, doing as Dende said. He powered up and blasted off to the battle ground. Dende watched Piccolo disappear into the distance and then with a heavy sigh went back into the library. "I hope I can find something that will save this planet, otherwise we are all doomed."
***
Goku cradled Vegeta's head in his hand, he was dying. Goku looked at the assailant who had his back turned to them. He felt hate well up within himself. Vegeta was going cold, Goku could not get to the senzu beans on the other side of the cavern without having to go through, him! Goku decided to make a break for it, he powered up and flew as fast as he could at the senzu beans but as he reached for them they disappeared before his eyes. Goku stopped himself before he slammed into the rock wall and looked back. The enemy they had been fighting had the bag in his hands.
"Hey! Give those back!" Goku yelled. The figure chuckled and tossed them to Goku to his own suprise.
"Gladly, give one to your foolish friend. I need you all in tip top shape for when the real battle begins." Goku, not questioning his odd generosity, hastily flew over and gave yet another senzu bean to Vegeta. After a few moments, Vegeta opened his eyes and got up to his feet. He was shaken and burnt, his armor was almost completely destroyed, not he only wore a black undershirt and his pants. Feeling rage within himself Vegeta powered up to SSJ and leapt back to charge but felt the restraining hand of Goku on his chest.
"No! Wait for Gohan and the rest to get here! We cannot risk getting hurt again!" Vegeta reluctantly nodded and stepped back. Suddenly, Goku felt Gohan's power close and could see his son coming in on the horizon. He smiled, knowing another talented fighter was joining the mix. He stepped back to make room for his son to land next to them but Gohan landed in front of them, close to the enemy. "Gohan?! What are you..!" But Gohan but up a hand to silence Goku.
"Its ok dad." He said calmly. He looked at the enemy in front of him. He stood with his hands on his hips, his arms bulging with muscle and power while his long and almost glowing black hair swayed in the breeze. Yes, it had to be him.
"What are you looking at Gohan?" the enemy said. Gohan shook his head in shame.
"Why Krillin?" he said. Goku and Vegeta gasped and felt almost faint. Krillin? It couldn't be him? Vegeta was in disbelief. Krillin laughed maniacally and ran a hand through his thick and recently grown hair.
"So you know. I was wondering when one of you idiots would muster up enough intelligence to figure that one out." Goku could see it now, yes I was Krillin. Goku flew up and landed next to his son.
"We are your friends Krillin! Why are you fighting us?!" Krillin rolled his eyes.
"Can you seriously not tell that for yourself? You Sayjin's think you are all powerful. That human warriors that once could beat you are no longer a match because you can go Super Sayjin! Well I wont play second fiddle anymore! I wont take any more beatings from Gohan and any condescending insults from Vegeta! I will show you how the dragonballs can give me true power and I will also show how you Sayjins are not match for a true Super Human!!!!" Krillin tightened his fists and felt energy well up within him. He was powering up and Goku, Gohan, or Vegeta could not nothing to stop him. Rocks raised and hovered over the ground and the sky grew dark as it was drained of its energy. Gohan went SSJ and flew back with his father to a defensive position.
"Woah! Dad!" Gohan yelled as he could barley keep his balance with the tremors. Suddenly, Krillin was bathed in a red aura and he flew high into the air.
"NOW, FEEL MY WRATH! AND TASTE THE DEATH AND REVENGE I HAVE WAITED A LIFETIME TO SERVE!!! DIE!!!!" Krillin screamed. All three Sayjin's leapt back and prepared for battle.
"Krillin, no..." Goku whispered to himself as he watched his longtime friend prepare to attack. Goku had a bad feeling this was not going to be a day of victory.
Chapter 5 coming soon! Hopefully sooner than chapter 4 came, sorry again about the delay.
