Chapter 13: The Heavens Tremble
The path of Tien's attack seared the sky as it descended, causing the air to screech out in pain.
Gamen barely managed to jump out of the way of the blast but the others weren't so lucky, "Kako, MOVE!" The cyborg's eye cackled from the energy output in his body as he looked into the cascading explosion. The afterburner's on Kako's half-robot body fired up but failed to kick in. Heat from Tien's attack had boiled the fuel inside his body . . . Thousands of little explosions tore through his tissue and metal frame and his skin exploded before the blast even touched him.
"NOOO!" Lagasay screamed horrifically when the beam pounded the ground and burned through his twin brother. The yellow explosion spread across the ground at a terrifying rate of speed and engulfed the forest around it. Gamen and Lagasay found themselves running away to cheat death, along with the other warriors that had chosen to watch the fight unfold. As the blast began to fade away, the plump purple fighter frantically searched the sky for Tien, "You killed my brother! You bastard! You'll pay for that!" His muscles tensed up and veins shout out of his arms and forehead while he collected energy for his next attack.
Gamen was quick to get back on his feet and flew to Lagasay's side immediately, "Where is he?" The monstrous man roared at the top of his lungs.
"There!" Lagasay cried out as he let a massive beam of energy loose into the sky. Tien disappeared like a shadow in the dark and appeared only a few feet away as the first attack sailed harmlessly into space.
"I got him!" Gamen told the last surviving member of their group as he shot two red Ki beams in Tien's direction. The warrior monk was just too much for them, and he easily dodged both attacks, "He's too fast, he doesn't stay in one place long enough!" Gamen said, some panic coming out in his voice. Tien's suddenly materialized in front of both of them with a cold, expressionless face. Two orbs of light were building within the palms of his hands, each with a specific target in mind. Lagasay and Gamen just stood still, their hands still raised in the air from their last failed attempts to shoot down their enemy. Their mouths dropped and eyes opened wide in shock as the helplessly watched Tien stick his hands against their chests.
"He's just . . . ." Lagasay began.
"Too fast . . . '" Gamen added. Tien's lips twinged and his brow tightened as he let loose a huge amount of power into his attack. His battle cry alone was enough to send the two flying, but they needed to die.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" His blasts ripped through the other two fighters and cloaked their bodies in dull yellow light before spreading their radius to overwhelm them. Gamen and Lagasay flew apart like burning paper and their ashes were scattered to all corners of the globe as Tien's ferocious assault concluded. As the smoke cleared from the battlefield, it was obvious to everybody watching who the victor was.
The remaining villains looked increasingly agitated and worried as they looked on. Tien was proving to be much more of a problem than some of them had remembered him to be. Tien's breathing seemed to be labored after his last attack, but even so none of the others wanted to try their luck against him.
"Hey Kui, why don't you take him on next?" Dodoria said as he shot an uneasy look to his comrade on his right.
"Me? Why don't you Dodoria?" the cowardly Kui shot back, "Or what about you Zarbon? You could take him on easily!"
Zarbon looked unnerved as usual, keeping himself poised under the recent developments, 'I doubt I could take this guy on, even in my monster form. After what he did to that group of five guys, it would be impossible for me to do it by myself!' Frieza's dashing right-hand man thought to himself, "I don't think so Kui, mind your own business."
"Imbeciles, weaklings, COWARDS!" Captain Ginyu's voice boomed from not too far away, "How dare you call yourself warriors! I don't see why Frieza even bothered to hire your guys in the first place . . . YOU'RE WORTHLESS!" Ginyu's anger manifested itself into a surge of energy that erupted from his body in all directions as he powered up. Those close to him found it difficult to maintain their footing and some actually had to dodge shrapnel from exploding trees, "My boy's will show you how it's done, right?" he said while giving the Ginyu Force the evil eye.
"Righto cap'n'!" Jeice shouted as he saluted his fearless leader.
"Yeah!" The other Ginyu members agreed in unison as they struck an impromptu pose to impress everybody.
"Ha! That's the spirit men! All of you other sissies can wait here and allow more fighters to come, but we are taking this guy out now! COME ON!" Captain Ginyu smirked as he struck a pose and pointed to Tien. The members of the Ginyu force immediately took flight at top speeds toward him and laughed hysterically.
"You're gonna die baldy!" Guldo puffed as he flew past other villains that had chose not to fight.
"I call dibs on his head!" Burter screeched as the wind blew past him, "I want to see it roll!"
Their giddy laughter continued and they closed in on Tien with amazing speed. They flew in sporadic, circling flight patterns and Tien was having problems keeping track of them. These guys were in a totally different league from the ones he had just fought. Things didn't look good.
"YOU'RE MINE!" Burter shrieked as he suddenly flew ahead of everybody and readied his strike. Tien was caught off-guard and wasn't able to put up any type of defense against the tall, blue skinned monster. He winced and prepared for the worse . . .
The sound of lightning and thunder interrupted Tien's tranquil moment and he looked up. It was his lucky day. Krillin had delivered a nasty kick directly into Burter's jaw and it sent the scaly alien skidding across the ground. Guldo was still next in line to deliver a crushing attack, but thankfully, lightning struck twice in the same place. Yamcha delivered a mind-blowing drop kick to the time-bender and then round-housed the green midget through a nearby tree.
"Heh, I forgot how much fun it is to fight," the old desert bandit smirked as he lined up next to his old friend and got into a fighting stance. Jeice and Recoome stopped dead in their tracks as two more people joined Tien's side.
"Tien you're okay!" Chaozu cried out. He was ecstatic and rushed to embrace his long-time buddy.
"Yeah, thanks to you," Tien grinned, "and I see you brought the Mrs. along too Krillin."
"I wouldn't say 'brought', more like she tagged along . . ." Krillin responded.
"What was that Krillin?" number Eighteen shouted angrily.
"Nothing, NOTHING honey! I'm glad you came along with us, we could really use your help!" Krillin quickly recovered.
"Five on Five huh? That hardly seems fair," Captain Ginyu stated, "You guys are no fun. We have places to go and people to see. You leave me no choice but to OBLITERATE YOU! EVERYBODY ATTACK NOOOOOW!"
That was all the push the others needed. Countless numbers of villains sprung out of the trees and added to the numbers of the ready and waiting Ginyu Force. Tien and the others were lined up and poised to fight, but would it be enough against an army of evil?
-------------------
This chapter is a little shorter than some of my other ones, and that is because if I continued to write it, it would have gotten INSANELY long due to the second part (which will now become the second chapter). I still think this chapter was pretty good though . . . Anyways, here are the power levels for this chapter. If you want to know the good guy power levels and Turliss' gang's PL, check out the last two chapters. Otherwise, here are the levels of the new baddies I brought into this chapter. When people actually are mentioned in the next chapter or two, there will be many more.
Zarbon: 120,000
Kui: 40,000
Dodoria: 80,000
Captain Ginyu: 600,000
Guldo: 60,000
Recoome: 112,000
Jeice: 130,000
Burter: 145,000
