"Alright, Trunks," said Goten. Goten told his dad, and Trunks called his father, Vegeta, with the news. As soon as Goku called all the Z fighters, they took off for South City, where Piccolo was already waiting for them. "Hey, Piccolo, it's been a long time, how've you been?" asked Goku.
"Goku, this is hardly the time to be reminiscing. We have other important matters to attend to," said Piccolo.
"Sorry about that, Piccolo, you're right. We need to get going."
"So, let's get going then, Kakarot!" yelled Vegeta. Goku and the others sensed the mystery warrior's chi and followed it. As they got closer they felt increasing dismay at this warrior's power. They finally found the man behind the destruction and stopped.
"So you finally showed yourself, my foe," said the mystery warrior.
"Foe? Who, me?" asked Goku.
"No, Kakarot. He is talking to me!" said Vegeta.
"No, I was speaking to your tangerine friend there," said the man, pointing over his shoulder at Goku.
"Are you afraid to show us your face?" yelled Yamcha.
"Oh, heavens no! I was just wondering how could I possibly face the fact that my opponent is weaker than I? Then again maybe you're hiding something from me, eh?"
"Enough, coward, show your face!" yelled Vegeta.
"If you insist," said the man. He turned around, revealing his hair, tied back in a ponytail, letting some of his bangs loose. He looked at them, his eyes a beautiful dark green; his body muscular, like everyone there, his long silver hair blowing in the wind as he looked at them, arms crossed. All the man wore was a white tank top, black pants, and silver finger-less gloves.
"He's a real looker, isn't he," said Krillen crossing his arms in disgust at the sight of someone cuter than him.
"Before we begin, do any of you know where my mate is? My servants are having a difficult time trying to find her, and if you could help in any way. I would appreciate it," said the man as everyone stared, blinked several times, sweatdropped at the mans request and his cheery disposition.
"Umm, no, we haven't seen or heard anything about your mate..." said Goku.
"Oh darn. You know, if I find her and I fight you, I will leave after all this. I want her most of all though. Oh, I have been rude. My name is Bane."
"Name's Goku, nice to meet you, but I'm afraid it's not much of a nice to meet you, considering you have already destroyed half this city."
"I didn't kill anyone, if that's what you're worried about. I gave them fair warning before I destroyed the place. That was just a warm up warning shot to try and draw you out of hiding." Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Vegeta suddenly lept forward and shouted "Enough chit-chat! Let the battle commence. And Bane, you are fighting me first before Kakarot and I won't take no for an answer." Bane yawned and looked at Vegeta, then said, "Oh fine, if you want to, I'll just think of this as a warm up." Vegeta glared and gritted his teeth. "You dare make a mockery out of Vegeta, The prince of all Saiyans!"
"Come now, give me your best shot, you so-called 'prince of all Saiyans'," yelled Bane as he leapt into the air, disappeared, and reappeared behind Vegeta. He kicked him in the back of the neck, knocking Vegeta out cold. "Well, he wasn't much of a warm up, was he? Shall we fight now, Goku?"
"You bet. It looks as though I might have to show you my special form from the start after all." Suddenly, a young man flew up to the Z warriors. "Sorry I'm late!" said Uubu.
"Not at all, you're just in time, Uubu," said Goku. Bane looked at Uubu with disgust. "And who are you, runt?" asked Bane.
"I am Uubu, Goku's pupil," said Uubu, the pride in him obvious on his face.
"Hmph. No matter how many fight me, you will all fail. Now, can we get on with it already?!" asked Bane.
"Sure," said Goku as the two flew away from the others. Vegeta was being tended to by Trunks.
"Dad, are you ok?" asked Trunks.
"y-yes... Yes, son, I am alright... I don't need anyone's help!" said Vegeta. In the distance Goku powered up to Super Saiyan three, while Bane powered up a bit and stood there waiting with his arms crossed. Suddenly, the two broke out into an immense battle. Everywhere little bursts could be seen, but never the fighters. Energy balls, energy waves, and other attacks were being shot, but nothing found its mark. The battle raged on for five hours and then Goku fell to the ground. "I must admit that was a great fight you put up," said Bane. Goku coughed up a bit of blood, his clothes ripped here and there. He glared at Bane and said, "Yeah, well, try fighting Uubu next! He is very strong, I assure you."
"Alright, I will," said Bane looking over to Uubu.
"Are you sure I can do this, Goku-sensei?" asked Uubu, nervously.
"Sure you can, I believe in you. Besides, I need someone to protect the Earth when I'm gone and you're just the person for the job," said Goku cheerfully, pain evident on his features.
"Alright... Whatever you say, Goku-sensei," said Uubu, flying over to Bane. A couple of feet away, the other Z fighters were talking about Bane and Goku's fight.
"I tell you guys, this thing has me scared out of my wits, and I am not ashamed to say so!" Krillen said.
"I think it would be just suicide for me to try and fight him, or for any of us here!" said Yamcha in disbelief. Everyone was tense due to the uncertainty of Bane's true intentions. Once again, a battle broke out, even more intense than the last. The Z fighters could no longer keep track of the fighters, except when one was knocked down or was shot an attack. Everyone stared in silence and disbelief. The battle ended the same, only this time Uubu was on the ground, beaten badly. "Well, I must admit you were a bit more of a challenge, but I still won in the end!" Bane gloated.
"Since we fought you, will you find your mate and leave?" asked Goku.
"Certainly, but if I don't find my mate I am afraid to say I will have to destroy this planet in order to mark it off my list," said Bane calmly.
"WHAT!? How could you? We haven't done wrong to you!" said Goku.
"Aww, you just don't get it, do you? I have read your books, and I can tell you that the bad guy always does what he pleases. If I can't find her, well then, I will just destroy this planet. And since I have defeated all of this planets best warriors, you-can't-do-a-THING!" yelled Bane.
"Goku, this is hardly the time to be reminiscing. We have other important matters to attend to," said Piccolo.
"Sorry about that, Piccolo, you're right. We need to get going."
"So, let's get going then, Kakarot!" yelled Vegeta. Goku and the others sensed the mystery warrior's chi and followed it. As they got closer they felt increasing dismay at this warrior's power. They finally found the man behind the destruction and stopped.
