Welcome!
REVIEW RESPONSE:
RDBRaptor: 1) The REAL Nappa wouldn't, but a Nappa who's been hanging around Goku certainly would ^_^ 2) Yeah…I know…I thought that having all 4 Saiya-jin would be powerplaying
Power levels of the Participants:
Some were dumbed down from the original (Vegeta for instance), some were increased from the original (Gohan for instance), but the purpose is the same: To get a proportion of good power/bad power that is similar to the original. MATH WAS INVOLVED!!
By the by, Vegeta and Radditzu still haven't learned to control their ki well yet.
Bear in mind also, Buruma is still under the delusion she is in love with Yamucha.
Space Fighters:
Chapter 3:
The Arrival
~~Kaiou-sama's planet~~
Energy slowly gathered to Goku's fingertips. A small energy ball formed in the palm of his hand. With utmost concentration he threw the energy sphere towards a preset target; a gigantic brick block. There was a blinding flash; when it cleared there was no trace of the block. Kaiou-sama clapped.
"Very good Goku! You have mastered the Genki Dama, a technique that even I couldn't master!"
"It felt great to use it! Will it really be enough to defeat those guys?"
"I do not know. Now, that attack will be much stronger on earth; strong enough to destroy the planet if you mess up; so I suggest only using it once, and only if you ABSOLUTELY have to!"
"So, all I have to do is get wished back, and then get to Earth"
Lightning struck Kaiou-sama's brain "No! I forgot!"
"What is it Kaiou-sama?"
"When I made your training schedule, I forgot to figure in the time it takes you to get back! Today is the second, and those fighters will be arriving high noon on the third!"
"But I'm faster than ever! I shouldn't take that long!"
"I know, Goku! But there is something else…Serpent's Path has a Speed Limit! If you go just a fraction over it, the road will dematerialize under you, and you will be sucked into Hell! At that speed it is going to take you THRITY HOURS. The current time is ten AM, so at the very earliest you would arrive at 4 PM!" (1)
Goku blanched "Oh no! We'd better contact someone at once!"
"touch my back, Goku."
Goku obliged and focused.
~~Kame House~~
Kame Sennin read one of his favorite magazines while using the facilities. He was just getting to the best section, when a voice beckoned him from the heavens.
"Kame Sennin!"
"Son Goku? Is that you?"
"yeah! I'm communicating to you from Kaiou-sama's place!"
"I've missed you, ma boy!"
"I know, Muten-sama! But there isn't time! You need to wish me back now! The bad people are arriving tomorrow at High Noon!"
"Okay, as soon as I finish read-"
"ARE YOU BACKED UP OR SOMETHING? GET UP NOW!" (2)
Roshi jumped up, and pulled on his pants "Okay! Okay! Here I go!"; he ran out to Buruma
"Buruma! We need to use the Dragonballs NOW!"
Buruma quickly dropped the spheres from her bag. She held out her hands, palms facing them. "Dragon god, I summon you by name…SHENLONG!" (3)
The sky turned dark black. A shimmering light in the shape of a great reptilian beast snaked out. The light sparkled and became a green scaled dragon. His deep, mighty voice shook the ground.
"YOU WHO HAVE GATHERED THE SEVEN DRAGONBALLS…I WILL GRANT ONE WISH…ONLY ONE…BUT BEWARE HOW YOU WISH, FOR IT WILL COME TRUE."
Oolong sweated "I don't know of I'll ever get used to this…or tired of it for that matter…."
Buruma looked the dragon straight in the eyes "Shenlong! I wish for Son Goku to be brought back to life!"
The red eyes flared "GRANTED…." They returned to Normal "IT IS DONE…UNTIL ANOTHER YEAR…I BID YOU FAREWELL…."
The dragon infused with the Dragonballs, and flashed. The seven spheres went into the sky and scattered once more to the four corners of the globe.
Buruma focused "Son Kun, are you alive?"
"Yes! My halo is gone! Guys, I'm, coming as fast as I can!"
~~Capsule Corporation~~
Gohan and his uncle stopped in the middle of their training. They looked in awe at the sky.
"What is this?" half asked Radditzu "all of a sudden it's night!"
Kuririn came out of CC "Whoa! Shenlong must have been called!"
Gohan chirped "You mean they're wishing tousan back?"
Yamucha stopped sparing with Tenshinhan "yeah…that also means that those guys will be arriving soon."
Tenshinhan slammed a fist into his palm "We'd better intensify our training for the last hours!"
Everyone agreed and continued their training.
*******
~~Earth's orbit, 12 PM the next day~~
A mechanical voice beeped and a gas filled the small pod "Wake up Sir Kiwi. You have arrived at Earth's Orbit" a pair of sinister eyes opened.
The same voice filled a larger pod "Wake up Mister Dodoria. You have arrived at earth's orbit." two fissures on pink skin opened up to reveal evil eyes
The third pod had a similar occurrence "Wake up, Mister Zarbon. You have Arrived at Earth's orbit." A white face was revealed when a lock of green hair was flung away.
Dodoria yawned "Here we are! What a pathetic mud ball this is!"
Zarbon laughed "Only a Saiya-jin would be disgusting enough call this a place to live."
Kiwi snorted "Let's just prepare for landing."
~~A City~~
The townspeople stopped in their tracks when three fireballs came from the sky. They were jolted when they hit the earth. They all ran over to three craters to discover that they were round and made of some kind of metal. Much more to their shock, the pods opened like hatchbacks, and three hideous aliens floated out. The green haired one turned on a funny device over his eye.
"Power levels under .00001! What a planet!" said Zarbon (4)
"We need to Find those traitors Vegeta, Nappa, and Radditzu!" said Dodoria "We need to scan for powers over 2,000."
Kiwi scanned the horizons and gasped "I can detect at least half a dozen over that way!"
Dodoria smirked "Well, at least one is bound to be who we are looking for!"
A man cam up and fired a pistol at Dodoria; he caught all the bullets "What was that supposed to do?"
The man son found himself with a great hole in his stomach and his entrails ripped out.. Dodoria pulled out his hand and smashed two Human's heads together and crushed them like watermelons on Gallagher. After that he beheaded three more by punching out their necks. A large Ki blast barbecued a woman and a child, as well as the man who was protecting them. Police and The National Guard arrived and began firing. All the bullets bounced off. Dodoria gathered them up and crushed them into one large ball that he threw to destroy a tank. More blasts destroyed the police vehicles, destroying officers in the process. The Dodoria blew up a building that collapsed onto the fleeing folk. Then he went throughout the city, laughing and killing as he went. (5)
Suddenly, Kiwi rolled his eyes and used a Renzokou Kikou Ha* and fired a barrage of blasts into the city, obliterating it. Dodoria came back growling
"Hey! I was having fun!" the pink devil yelled
"You were taking too long!" remarked Kiwi "We need to go kill the traitors!"
"Kiwi is right" said Zarbon "We can purge this whole planet and take as long as we want after we take out Vegeta and them"
"Fine…" Growled Dodoria
~~The Wilderness~~
Everyone formed a stance when they saw the three figures land before them. Vegeta, Roland, and Radditzu knew them well.
Vegeta smirked "So, you've got here at last?"
"Spare it, Vegeta-chan" said Zarbon "We have a bone to pick with you after what you and that Low Class Baka did to the palace, and to Lord Furiza"
Radditzu and Gohan growled gutturally. If there was one thing you never did to a Saiya-jin if you wanted to live, that was bad mouth his or her parent or sibling.
Kiwi scanned the group. He first came to Kuririn "2,400..." then he scanned Chaozu "…1,000..." then Yamucha "…1,800..." then Tenshinhan followed by Piccolo "…3,000...7,000..." Then Gohan, Vegeta, and Radditzu "…6,000...11,000...8,000..." and finally Roland "…5,000..."
Zarbon laughed "Pathetic weaklings! And where pray tell is Nappa?"
Vegeta growled "He's dead. He died from a blood clot that you bakas with the IQ of horse droppings probably made worse by aggravating him!"
Zarbon became angry "You will regret saying that!"
"Take it back!" yelled Kiwi
Gohan stomped his feet "You're right! Vegeta should take it back, because he doesn't want to insult the horse shit, you couch fucking douche bags!" (an: I swear! Gohan cusses that much in early DBZ!)
Dodoria roared "Who taught that kid to use such language?"
Zarbon gritted his teeth "And how does he know about my furniture-fetish complex?" (6)
"Kiwi, you can take them first!" said Dodoria
Kiwi grinned "Why? Why not have some fun first?"
Zarbon grinned too "What do you mean?"
"We can kill the weaklings first and not lift a finger!" said Kiwi
"How?" asked Dodoria
Kiwi held up a jar of brown seeds "With these!"
Vegeta laughed "You brought Saibaimen? Don't make me laugh! Their power levels are 1,200! Most of us cold take those out in one blast!"
Kiwi laughed "Just wait…" he planted eight of the seeds into the ground.
They sprouted into full grown Saibaimen, but instead of being green and dark green, they were red and dark red with black eyes, and black thorns grew from their bodies.
Gohan tensed "Ojisan…you'd better check your Scouter thingy…I sense them and they are bad!"
Radditzu complied "What! Prince Vegeta, you'd better take a look at this!"
Vegeta put on his Scouter "Each about 2100! No Saibaiman can have a power level of 2100!"
Kiwi laughed "These are Saibaimen Mark 2! Which of the weaklings wishes to challenge one?" (7)
Kuririn stepped forth "I will!"
Yamucha stopped him "No, Kuririn…I'd better do it. You've been wished back before…and we don't know what these little turds are capable of, so…if anything happens, I can be brought back to life."
"a-all right…" stammered Kuririn.
Yamucha took a stance. Kiwi ordered a Saibaiman Mark 2 to attack. Yamucha engaged it in battle. He matched it punch for punch, and kick for kick.
Zarbon scanned Yamucha "Hmm! His power raised to 2099! This could be interesting!"
The fight intensified. The speed was incredible. Enraged at how long it was taking, Kiwi sent two more Saibaimen Mark 2 to help. Yamucha was beaten harshly. A Spirit bomb blew a hole through one of them, and a Shin Rouga Fufu Ken bashed another into a crevice of rock. The final one was thrown to the ground and beheaded. The fighters, except for the stoic Radditzu, Piccolo, and Vegeta, cheered. Yamucha faced his friends and did a peace sign. However, he did not see the Saibaiman jump up from behind him and squeeze his chest. There was a great explosion; when the dust cleared, Yamucha lay in a heap. Kuririn rushed over to his aid, but he was too late…Yamucha was too far gone even for a Senzu to help. All the Earth defenders cringed and clenched their eyes shut.
Piccolo growled "Jibaku*…a suicidal explosion…no way to dodge…"
Kuririn examined Yamucha. As he came closer, the Star player for The Titans weakly opened his eyes "ugh…Kuririn…dying…is……a bummer…isn't…it?"
"Don't talk like that, we'll wish you back!"
"…thanks……farewell……Buruma…" he closed his eyes. He was gone
Kuririn roared in burning rage. A mighty Split KameHameHa blasted all the Saibaimen. They were barely damaged. Radditzu raised two fingers and caused an explosion that completely destroyed them; a perfect example of the Saiya-jin technique, the Shyougeki Ha*.
Kuririn calmed down and settled next to the other fighters. "Yamucha…he died for Buruma…he went in my place and got killed!"
Dodoria noticed a helicopter overhead "What a nuisance!"
The pink blob sent a large Ki blast to obliterate the flying machine.
~~Kame House~~
Buruma cried into Roshi's shoulder "Yamucha…I never…I never realized how I felt until now…I loved him…"
"Don't worry, Buruma" said Roshi "We can still revive him with the Dragonballs!"
"That's true…" cried Buruma "But it still…" Roshi tried to pinch Buruma's butt "YOU DIRTY OLD MAN!"
~~Kami's Tower~~
Kami Sama watched what went on at the battlefield "We already have lost one…the powers of these fighters is incredible…Goku…hurry…"

What did you think? I know it was a bit similar to the real deal, because Yamucha's manner of death in my opinion is un-alterable, but it WILL get different next chapter ^_^
Same rules on reviewing as always.
FOOTNOTES
1) I know it's BS, but I had to find some excuse for Goku arriving late, now didn't I?
2) Please excuse the Dragonball quote. Goku says the "backed up" thing when he tried to tell Kame Sennin about Lunch's arrival.
3) Are those the correct words? Does anyone know? Please help me on this
4) Just an estimate of how strong the average city guy is, because If I remember right, Umigame has a power of .001, which was sufficient to kick the crap out of two guys in the Garlic Junior Saga. Farmers and guys who do hard physical labor are 5-90 or so maybe
5) I know…._
6) tee hee. Didn't Gohan do something similar to Nappa in the "real time"?
7) I needed henchmen that would be a challenge to the beefed up Power levels I made for the purposes of the fic.
*Attacks and what they are:
Renzoku Kikou ha: Continuous blasts of Ki from the hands
Jibaku: a suicidal blast that Chaozu, Saibaimen, and Android 16 can do.
Shyougeki Ha: The thing Nappa uses at the beginning of the series to destroy a city. It causes long distance explosions by raising fingertips. I am assuming it's a Saiya-jin created technique
NEXT TIME: The first member of the Terrible Trio challenges the Earth Special forces. His name, is Kiwi. Can a double team attack by a Saiya-jin and an Earthling do any good?
Time for another USELESS FACT:
Emperor Pilaf closely resembles a blue imp from Chrono Trigger. This shouldn't be surprising, for they have the same artist. (Info courtesy of www.ultimatedbzinfo.com's eloquent description of the emperor)
