A New Sayian
Chapter 14: At The Lookout

(A/N: I do not own DBZ nor am I affiliated with it or its characters in any way. I do not own Cheena, Chico, Risika or Miyuki. But I DO own Maylar ^_^ Much thanks to the one and only anime-kat2002 for the advertisement in her fic "A New World", I suggest you read it, it's really good.) Hope you enjoy!)

Chico appeared in the living room at her house, where all the grown-ups were sitting around Baba's crystal ball.

"Hi guys, I've come for the Dragon Radar." She said. They all turned and looked at her. Chi-Chi glared at her daughter, who was standing there with a nervous grin on her face.

"What did I say about fighting Maylar?" She asked as she got up.

"Chi, don't start." Bulma said. Chi-Chi just ignored her and stared at Chico.

"Um........don't?" Chico asked. Chi-Chi nodded.

"So you were listening, but you decided to defy me instead of ignore me." She said. Chico stuffed her hands in her pocket and looked at the floor.

"Chi-Chi! We don't have time for this! Give Chico the Radar and let her go!" King Kai yelled. Chi-Chi jumped and looked around.

"Oh yeah, I can't see you. Don't you yell at me! She's my daughter and I'm not letting her go until she apologises for defying me!" Chi-Chi yelled back. Chico sighed and shook her head.

"Ok mom, I'm sorry for taking off like that. Now can I PLEASE have the Radar?" She asked. Chi-Chi sighed and took the Radar off Bulma and gave it to Chico.

"Thanks, now lets see........." She said as she took it off her mother and switched it on. A little light flickered on and off, indicating the nearest Dragonball. She put her fingers to her forehead and disappeared.

Back on the lookout, Dende still hadn't finished healing Goku. Cheena, Vegeta and Gohan were awake and nearly recovered from their injuries. Vegeta was applying the healing balm to himself. He said that if Mr Popo touched him with the rag, he'd turn him into a rug for his living room.

"I can't believe you were knocked out of the sky like that Gohan." Cheena said. She and Gohan were sitting on the floor, Indian style and facing each other. Gohan sighed and smirked.

"Yeah, well, that shows how out of practice I am." He said. Cheena smirked and nodded. Vegeta didn't try to suppress his laughter.

"Out of practice? Boy, that dopey younger brother of yours could beat you." He said through his laughter. Miyuki glared at him, her blood started to boil.

"What do you mean dopey!? Goten is three times the man you are, and more!" She yelled at him. Vegeta waved his hand and turned away. Miyuki glared at him and mumbled under her breath.

"Just ignore him Miy, he's just trying to aggravate you." Cheena said. Miyuki nodded and looked over at Dende, who was still healing Goku.

"What's taking him so long?" She asked. Mr Popo looked at her, then at Dende.

"Goku has an enormous power level, the more power he has, the more energy he uses and the more he needs to sustain that power, or at least allow him to put up a decent fight. He's used up a lot of energy, and it's taking Dende longer to replenish it because he needs so much to fight." He explained. Cheena looked at Miyuki, who looked at her then shrugged her shoulders. Gohan sighed and shook his head.

"What he means is, dad has so much energy, it takes longer for Dende to give all of it back to him to let him put up a good fight." He explained in a much shorter version. Cheena and Miyuki nodded their heads in understanding.

"He's getting closer." Vegeta said. They all turned to him, except Dende and Goku.

"How do you know? Did you sense his ki? I'm too afraid to try and do that, just in case it hurts like it did before." Cheena asked. Vegeta looked at her and smirked.

"When he started talking to me in my head, he left something like a tracer there. I can sense where he is without having to sense his ki." He replied.

Chico had already gotten three of the Dragonballs by now. She carried them in a backpack. She was enjoying her adventure. Her search for the fourth Dragonball took her to a jungle. It was hot and humid, birds could be heard singing and chirping and monkeys could be heard screeching at each other. She walked through the damp leaves and mud of the jungle floor. The Radar indicated that the Dragonball was in a nearby cave. Chico walked up to the mouth of the cave and peered inside, the steam rising from the floor caused her to sneeze loudly. A flock of bats flew out of the cave. Surprised, Chico fell on her backside and watched the bats fly to the treetops. When the last bat flew out of the cave, Chico got up and walked inside. It was dark and the air was hot but damp, water dripped off the stone ceiling. The walls of the cave were cold, even though it was so hot. It was dark, so she turned SSJ. Her aura lit the cave up. Chico walked down the cave, the floor was wet and slippery and it was covered in vines and bat droppings. When she got to the back of the cave, there was a wall, the Radar said that the Dragonball was behind it.

"There must be a secret switch or something." Chico said as she stuffed the Radar in her backpack. She ran her hands over the cold, wet wall, looking for a secret door or switch. She searched every crack and imperfection in the wall before giving up.

"I can't do this, I need to find another way." She sighed. Her voice slightly echoed off the cave walls. She thought of a way to get to the Dragonball. A smirk crept over her face as she thought of one. Chico powered up and punched the wall. Her fist went right through it. She punched it a few more times, making the hole bigger. On the other side, there was a large room. In the middle of the secret room was a large stone coffin. Around the coffin were stone statues, about the same size as an adult. There were boxes of jewels and gold coins. They sparkled brightly under the light of Chico's gold aura. She stepped through the hole in the wall and into the tomb. She ran her hand over the stone coffin. It was covered in thick dust. She looked at the Radar. The light said that the Dragonball was at the far corner of the crypt. As she walked over in the direction that the Radar indicated, her aura lit up the darkened corner. The light revealed a stone pedestal with the bright orange Dragonball on top. She put the Radar in her pocket and took the Dragonball off its stand. Chico smirked as she put it in her backpack with the others. Suddenly, the room started to shake. Rocks fell from the ceiling and some of the statues fell over. She ran over to the hole she made. Rubble fell in front of her as the way she came caved in. She was trapped. The ground shook more and more violent every second. As soon as the ground stopped shaking, a statue fell and broke, a horde of small black insects crawled from the shattered pieces.

"Oh no! I've seen this movie, and I don't want to be eaten by those things!" Chico yelled to herself as she watched the insects scuttle towards her. They began to crawl up her legs. She kicked and batted them off. Most of them fell to the ground, but some stayed on. She batted the rest off and stamped on some. She heard the crunch their hard shells made when she crushed them. A sticky green residue clung to the sole of her boots. Chico stood still for a moment. She thought she had them all. The last insect crawled up behind her and clung to her boot. It began chewing away. Within moments the insect had completely eaten through her boot, it crawled inside.

"AHHH!!" Chico yelled as she felt the insect on her foot. She kicked her shoe off and destroyed it with a small ki blast. Chico cringed as she realised what she had just done.

"Mom is going to kill me." She sighed. She put her fingers to her forehead and used Instant Transmission to get to the next Dragonball.

Meanwhile, at the lookout, Dende was halfway through healing Goku. He was conscious and itching for a fight.

"Stay still Goku. How can I heal you if you keep fidgeting?" Dende scolded. Goku grinned at him.

"I'm sorry Dende, but I want to fight now. Besides, you wont heal me fully before Maylar gets here. Why don't you heal Cheena instead? I can hold him off until you heal her, she can fight him and we can escape somewhere else." He said. Dende stopped healing Goku and looked over at Cheena, who nodded and stood up.

"I'll do it. I gave him a good ass kicking before, and I can give him a better one this time." She said as she walked over to Dende. She lay on the ground next to her dad. Goku stood up and moved out of the way to let Dende heal her. He was about to start when Vegeta cut in.

"What makes you so sure you can do better this time?" He asked. Cheena turned her head to look at him.

"Because I know his fighting style now, I know where he's going to attack from. Plus I'm half-Sayian, and Sayians get more powerful after each battle." She replied. Vegeta stifled a laugh.

"Do you really think he'd come at you the same way he did last time? You're strong, but you're delusional. He'll change his tactics. You may be half- Sayian, but he's full-Sayian, and he gets a lot stronger than you do after a fight." He said. Goku glared at him.

"Leave her alone Vegeta, she put up a better fight against him than you did. Hell, she fought him twice and put up a good fight both times." He said. Vegeta just growled and looked away.

"Hush you two, Dende needs silence to heal Cheena." Mr Popo said. Goku nodded and sat down. After about five minutes, Vegeta stood up and walked to the edge of the lookout. He looked out to the sky with his arms at his sides.

"He's here." He said quietly. Goku looked at him and stood back up. With that, Maylar shot up and kicked Vegeta in the face, sending him flying backwards and into one of the thick marble pillars. He hit it and fell to the floor. Chunks of the marble fell off the pillar and on him. Dende stopped healing Cheena. She sat up, grabbed Dende and Mr Popo and looked over at Vegeta. Miyuki, Risika and Gohan ran over and grabbed onto her.

"Vegeta! Get up and get over here!" She yelled. Maylar floated by the edge where Vegeta stood. He was about to fly over to Cheena when Goku appeared in front of him.

"You're fight is with me." He said with a smirk on his face. Maylar smirked back and nodded.

"Fine with me." He said before punching Goku in the face. Goku's head snapped back and he went back one step. Goku growled and flipped backwards, kicking Maylar in the chin.

"Come on Vegeta, we need to get away from here!" Cheena yelled. Vegeta slowly got up and flew over to them. He put his hand on Cheena's shoulder. Cheena concentrated and they disappeared. Maylar growled as he watched them transport away. Goku kicked him in the side and punched him in the side of his face. Maylar's head snapped to the right. He kicked Goku in the stomach with his left hand and used his right hand to hit Goku in he back, causing him to fall to the floor.

"Forget about it Kakarot, you won't win. You didn't win when you were at full-strength, but you're not even healed properly now. So give up and you wont be in so much pain when I kill you." Maylar said as he floated over Goku and landed on the lookout. Goku growled and stood up, he powered up and turned SSJ2. Maylar smirked as he watched his opponent's aura flicker and swirl in anger. He began to power up. Blue electricity sparked off the two Sayians as they contended for power. Out of the blue, Goku attacked Maylar. He flew at him with a fury of lefts and rights. Maylar blocked and dodged as fast as he could, and Goku punched with all his might. Some punches connected with Maylar's face and chest, but Maylar managed to block most of them. Goku pulled back his right fist and thrust it towards Maylar's face. He caught it. Goku did the same with his left hand and again, Maylar caught it.

"When have I been in this situation before?" Goku asked sarcastically as they locked hands. Maylar said nothing as he tried to crush Goku's hands. Goku resisted by squeezing as hard as he could.

"Looks like you haven't changed you're tactics Maylar. That's sloppy." Goku said as the two tried to overpower each other. Maylar smirked as he powered up slightly, he started to crush Goku's hands even more. The heroic Sayian showed no sign that it was hurting him. Maylar let go of Goku's left hand and threw him towards the clouds. Goku sailed upwards and stopped. He looked down at the lookout, but didn't see Maylar anywhere. Maylar materialised in front of him and punched him in the stomach. Goku keeled forward. Saliva spluttered from his mouth. Maylar grabbed Goku by the hair and kneed him in the face. Goku growled and charged a small ki blast and fired it at Maylar's stomach. Maylar let him go and Goku lunged for him.
