Chapter 4

Goten and Trunks were busy turning traffic of hover cars around when they felt Vegeta's power grow.

"Wow," Trunks thought, "I haven't felt this much power from father in a long time. Green boy must be giving him a hard time. Father's power is shooting up now! He must be performing the Final Flash attack. I saw him trying to re-learn it a few months ago in Other World, I guess he must have succeeded. Maybe we can end the fight with Zanji quicker then I thought..."

Goten was not so optimistic however. "Great. Vegeta is powering up his energy. And from the feel of it, it's going to be a pretty big attack. Zanji must be giving them a lot of trouble for him to be attacking with this much ki so early. Well, as long as dad and Gohan are there, I'm sure we'll win." With that he went back to trying to turn around cars,

"Come on! Turn around! The city is off-limits right now!"

---------------------------

Krillin hadn't found anyone left in the buildings. He had barely made it past the last building that was destroyed when Vegeta powered up. But as long as Goku was there to keep Vegeta in check, he was sure that everything would be just fine.

---------------------------

Yamcha was busy trying to force pedestrians away from the fight. It was getting pretty difficult. They kept slipping through the cracks in his ki barrier. He had to finally give up and expand it so that it sliced through all the surrounding buildings. No one was in any of them, they had all come out onto the street to see what all the commotion was about. Tien was busy across the city and had resorted to the same tactics as Yamcha. But both Tien and Yamcha felt it when Vegeta began to power up his Final Flash. That's why the both began to push the people of the city back further and faster.

---------------------------

Piccolo was certain that no other cities were close enough to be harmed by any attacks that the Saiyans pulled off. So he stopped and turned around slowly, his face twitching in shock,

"Vegeta... what are you doing? You're going to waste all of your power to early into the match! I can't believe you've lost this much sense while we were in Other World!" Piccolo surrounded himself with white ki, then shot off back to the city where he could join his Saiyan comrades in battle.

---------------------------

Gohan also couldn't figure out what Vegeta was planning on doing. Waisting all of his energy so early into a match was very stupid. Maybe Vegeta had a plan?

Vegeta thrust his hands together and cupped them in front of him. A yellow ball of energy with tendrils of ki appeared. Vegeta's muscles grew and shrank with increasing speed. He was having trouble containing the blast. It was almost time to let it go. Only a few more seconds...

Zanji wasn't sure what his opponent was doing either. This was the strongest fighter he had come across in many years, but he had to also be the stupidest... Expending all of your ki in was a last ditch effort. No one would do it on purpose this early... Maybe he had underestimated the new fighters. Maybe they weren't as smart as he thought they were. He might be able to have some fun with them after all...

"Good. It's done. Now then you green sack of crap, are you ready? Because here it comes!!" Vegeta released his energy, but stopped after giving up less then a tenth of what he had charged. He absorbed the energy back into his body and zanzokened behind his opponent and punched Zanji's back so that he flew into the oncoming ki blast. Vegeta then covered his eyes with his arm and tried to create a ki shield around himself to protect from the remnants of the blast. He was thrown back about 50 feet before he got his bearings and forced himself to stop moving. Goku and Gohan had done the same, both immediately powering up to Super Saiyan just to defend themselves from the loose energy.

An intense light filled the night sky and explosions rippled through the city. Yamcha and Tien had moved far from them however, making sure to be out of reach of the blast's after shocks. But it had created intense earth quakes and wind rushed past both of them, nearly blowing them from their feet. Krillin had soared high into the sky to see what was going on, as he hadn't detected anyone in any of the houses for miles. What he saw was indescribable. A shock wave rushed past him, which he barely avoided. It cut off half his shirt as it soared away. Fires raged in the abandoned buildings and many had just collapsed under the intense power. The city itself was shaking and there was a large crater where the ki attack had originated. Krillin looked up in time to see a monster sized boulder come crashing onto him.

---------------------------

"Maybe I wasn't wrong about them afterall," Zanji thought, "I may have to stay on my toes. That spiky haired bastard is a genius! I would have never thought of using that kind of attack. But it didn't do much damage, I'm afraid. And he'll have to pay for hitting me in the back." As the smoke cleared, Zanji was seen in a defense posture. His arms crossed in front of him in an X and one leg up to defend his lower body. Parts of him were still steaming, but as the villain took himself out of his stance, he looked almost unscathed.

"But how?" Vegeta wondered in shock, his entire body twitching in shock, "There should at least be some kind of mark on you. What kind of a monster..."

"The kind you're going to remember. Because it's about to get really messy," Zanji stated. He crouched low, and a green ki surrounded him.

"What the..." Goku started, "He knows how to gather his energy? Oh man! That means we haven't even seen the worst this guy can do! Gohan, power up right now. I can sense that Piccolo is on his way. We're going to need all the help we can get..."
