Author's Note: I'm sorry; I know I promised a Saiyan battle, Goku to learn Kaoken and Chichi to get training. Well, you'll see some Saiyans in this chapter, see the Kaoken in the next few chapters and see some of Chichi.  'Cause the Saiyans are 'ere! This is due to the reviews I keep getting; telling me to hurry up and make the Saiyans arrive. So. Here it is.

Chapter 9: Arrival

"Touchdown on Chikyuu in ten, nine, eight," the computer voice droned in the background. Buruma looked at the rapidly approaching planet. She could make out cities, grey and brown, though most of the landscape was blue and green.

'Just like Buruma-sei,' she thought sadly, before shaking the thoughts quickly from her head.

"Nappa!" she snapped.

"Yes Milady?"

"We're touching down in a few seconds. I want you to go and have some fun with the Chikyuu-jin while I track down our good friend Carripa. Understood?"

"Yes, Princess."

"Good. And I don't want TOO much destruction please. Just go and terrorize a few of the less populated areas." The pods landed with a thump. Before Buruma knew what had happened, she was face down in the dirt. She growled and stood up, thanking Kami Nappa wasn't out of his pod yet. She picked herself up and flicked the dirt of her blood red cape.

"Nappa, I'm sick of this cape getting dirty, I'm taking it off." She unclipped the flowing red garment and threw it back into her pod. She brushed the dirt off her armour, before turning just in time to see Nappa disappear from view. "Kami help the Chikyuu-jin," she mumbled amusedly.

*

'What? They're here already? Geez, I better hurry King Kai!' Goku closed the mental conversation and sped up. He had been running on snake way for a day already and the end was not yet in sight. It had taken longer than expected for Goku to learn the Kaoken, thus he had not gotten off as early as he should've pleased. He panted as he sprinted down the seemingly never-ending track. 'Just hold on guys. Just hold on.'

*

"OK, Chi. We're not going to be wanted at this battle unless something goes horribly wrong. However. It seems that we shall have a battle of our own." Crystal explained. Chichi raised a black eyebrow and dropped to the ground next to Crystal. It had taken her several days, but finally she had grasped flying and could now track movements, had improved senses and most importantly, could handle her ki and form ki blasts.

"What makes you say that?" Chichi asked.

"Well, Kami got in touch with me the other day. It seems that because Buruma-sei has been destroyed and the aren't very many Saiyans remaining, the two headed for Chikyuu are coming in search of you to join them." Crystal sighed and ran a hand through her now-short dark hair.

"Geez. Who would've thought? Two people flying half-way across the universe in search of me." She shook her head and levitated a few feet. "Oh well. What do you say to a last quick spar before we find out anything else about these Saiyans.

"Er Chi?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't think we have time."

"Wh- oh!" Chichi glanced up into the air, her Saiyan senses detecting the presence of her fellow kinsman. Two space pods had just landed with a huge boom. "Oh kuso. Should we go to them?"

"No. Kami said that when you sense their landing, fly as fast as you can in the opposite direction, all the while suppressing your ki. Let us hurry. Believe me, you don't want to be caught Chi." Crystal blasted into the air and the two took off in the opposite direction of the newly arrived Saiyans, faster than the naked human eye could see.

*

"That was the most pathetic fight I have ever seen!" Vegeta growled, still complaining about the Z Fighters' time in the pendulum room. Yamcha rolled his eyes.

"Shut it Vegeta. Just because you're so superior!" Vegeta growled audibly.

"Er, wrong thing to say Yamcha," Krillin laughed. Yamcha gulped as Vegeta's eyes shot daggers at him.

"You are correct though. I am far superior to all of you! I can't believe you weaklings!"

*~*~Flashback~~*

"Look around for some weakling survivors, maybe we can waste their asses," Vegeta replied, his heart dancing at the anticipation of a good fight. He sensed the others nod.

Krillin took to the east, Gohan in tow. Yamcha staggered off to the North, Tien and Chou tzu went West and Piccolo flew South. Vegeta stayed where he was, searching for any unfamiliar ki. None.

"That stupid green man has sent us to the wrong time! There are not even any survivors. I'll give that green freak a piece of my mind when I get back. If I ever get back." Vegeta leaned against the crumbling wall of a building.

*

"Sense anything Gohan?"

"Nah-uh." Came the reply from Krillin's right.

"Ok well, I'm going to fly down and have a look in those buildings around there and you umm. Well you just scout for Saiyans." Gohan nodded and Krillin darted down into the ruined buildings. "Dead, dead. They're all dead dammit!" he growled as he passes over many a Saiyan corpse.

All clad in white blue and gold armour, the Saiyan bodies were still staring evilly up at him, there once cold eyes glassy and open. Krillin shuddered, as the long present feeling that he was being watched became more evident. Krillin shuddered again and shot up out of the ruins, halting himself just next to Gohan.

"Seen anything kid?"

"Nah! Not even a bird or anything."

"Well there's definitely something out there."

"I know, I can feel it too."

*

Piccolo blasted what turned out to be yet again, another falling piece of rubble. This was pathetic. He was being paranoid, shooting at anything and everything that dared move. He growled and scouted for ki. Nothing, save that of his companions.

Suddenly, Piccolo felt a huge ki surge. He spun around, on the defence before growling in agitation when he realised it was Vegeta having a tantrum.

"Stupid idiot. He needs to control himself, if there are any remaining Saiyans he'll alert them for sure." 'Maybe that's what he's intending,' Piccolo thought. He dismissed those thoughts and looked around the barren landscape.

Nothing. Crumbling buildings and rubble. In the middle of what had obviously once been the town centre, was a working fountain however. He could hear the faint trickle of the water cascading over the edge. The water looked more alive than was usual, the shimmering blue a centre of focus among the red brown and black wasteland. He shook his head and turned his mind to the task at hand; Saiyan hunting.

*

"Yo! Tien? Have you found anything yet?" The bald, three-eyed man blasted up from the skeletal structure of what was once a house.

"Not a thing. They're all dead, though some look as if they were alive a day or so ago." Tien shook his head as he skidded to a stop a few feet to the left of Chou tzu.

The two paced the area for a while, ducking in and out of ruins, before blasting skywards and flying further West. They stopped at a building, which was still more or less intact. Tien nodded towards the structure and Chou tzu nodded, before following.

"You go left I'll go right. I have a feeling there's something here," Tien told his short friend. Tien walked cautiously around the corner, peeking every now and then for movement. He stood still for a millisecond, searching for another's ki. There! He pinpointed a ki, almost non-existent but still there. It was directly ahead. He walked quietly towards the room in front of him. He pushed open the door and looked inside.

What he saw made him screw up his nose.

"Yuck! That's sick." Lying on the floor, was what had once been a Saiyan warrior. He was sprawled out all over the floor, his tongue lolling from side to side.  His limbs were spread apart, making him look like a five point star. There was a pool of thick red blood by his left side, spilling from what was a huge hole in his middle. Tien stepped closer and realised it went right through him. He stepped back in horror, when he noticed the Saiyan's intestines, ripped from his stomach and lying on the floor next to him, still connected to his body.

Tien turned away as the Saiyan made a gurgling noise. He summoned a ki ball, before turning it and aiming it right at the Saiyans heart. The man's eyes went wide for a second, before his ragged breathing ceased and his chest stopped moving. Tien shuddered and withdrew from the room, hoping to find Chou tzu as quickly as possible.

*

Yamcha kicked another stone, cursing Vegeta as he went.


"Stupid idiot! Keeping me from a good fuck. How dare he invade my private life, Kami's orders or not! I'd rather be in bed than hunting these stupid Saiyans. I couldn't care less how strong they supposedly are!" He summoned up a pathetic ki blast and chucked it mindlessly to his right. He waited for the small explosion. It didn't come. Frowning, Yamcha formed another one and chucked it at the same place. It was visible for a second, before disappearing from view.

"Uh, uh uh! Not a good idea," came a cold high voice form somewhere in the shadows. Yamcha froze, a look of panic fixed upon his scarred face.

"Who's there?" he asked, his voice squeaking like an adolescent's.

"I am Otat, Second Squad Commander of this mission!"

"Mission?" Yamcha squeaked. He heard a laugh, and out stepped a tall man. Yamcha cowered in fear. This guy was big. Far bigger than he. He had tall upswept hair that split down the middle and had stuck out down the sides. His muscles were huge and bulky, and his eyes were menacing.

"The mission to purge this planet, which I obviously have not fulfilled if you are still here."

"Oh, but-" Yamcha tried to explain and the tall Saiyan laughed. He summoned a ki blast in his palm, before drawing back his arm, and then moving it forward. The ki ball left his hand, and, in a great flash of light and a tremendous boom, Yamcha was sent flying backwards. He hit a wall, and then fell to the ground, blood trickling from his head and from the corner of his mouth. He was unconscious.

*

"What the?" Krillin and Gohan's heads shot up as the dark red sky was illuminated by a blinding yellow light.

"Guess Yamcha found the Saiyans," Gohan laughed. Krillin nodded.


"Come Gohan. We shall go and see what we can do 'bout this Saiyan." They powered up, a white aura surrounding them, before rocketing into the sky and in the direction of the light.

As they were flying at breakneck speed, towards the supposed Saiyan, they were shortly joined by Piccolo, Tien and Chou tzu.

"You guys think he's alright?" asked Chou tzu.

"Who cares?" the rest answered in unison, save Piccolo who never sided when it came to Yamcha. Chou tzu shrugged.

"Have any of you lot seen Vegeta yet?" Piccolo asked, in an abrupt change of subject. No one said anything.

"Last time I saw him was when we first arrived, I don't think he went searching for Saiyans, he left that up to us," Tien mumbled. Krillin shot him a sideways glance.

"Don't let Vegeta hear you say that! I'd say he's on his way over now." Tien shrugged but silently agreed.

They dropped to the ground a few minutes later. Tien and Chou tzu rushed to Yamcha, whilst Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan took fighting stances. Their newest enemy, the tall Saiyan who Yamcha so unwisely encountered, laughed at them.


"What have we here? More missed citizens? Although I'd say that green thing isn't a native!" The Saiyan gestured to Piccolo and laughed.

"We have come here to train, to test our strength," Krillin spoke boldly, though he was quaking inside.

"Well now is your chance. You will find yourselves a worthy partner in me. Or should I say, murderer."

*

"Oh of all the ridiculous things that could happen, fuck-boy has to find the Saiyans!" Vegeta cursed and growled, but blasted into the air and headed towards the scene of the explosion. He flew at a leisurely pace, not caring what happened to the others. He'd take his time with the Saiyan. Kill him slowly. A sudden blood lust overtook Vegeta and he smirked evilly as he thought of all the things he could do.

Vegeta shook his head. No, this wasn't the time. He had training to do, so best to just kill him quickly and be done. Vegeta sped up and slowly black specs came into view. One was larger than the others, with wild hair to rival the ferocity of Vegeta's own. As he approached, he could make out the Namek-jin, the bald human and Kakarot's brat, squaring it off with what he supposed was Yamcha's Saiyan. Yamcha. He was lying unconscious, about a hundred feet away. Tien and Chou tzu were trying to rouse him. Vegeta snorted in disgust. He resisted the temptation of killing Yamcha and leant against a post to watch the others.

Krillin launched at Otat, but the Saiyan sent him flying backwards with his arm. Krillin collapsed next to Yamcha, Tien and Chou tzu. Vegeta sniggered. Piccolo flung himself at the tall man. His left fist flew to the Saiyans face, but the man caught it and twisted Piccolo's arm behind his back. Piccolo winced, but kicked out behind him and his leg contacted with the Saiyan's kneecap. The Saiyan gave a grunt, and stepped backwards a few steps, but a sickening crunch told the Z Warriors that Otat had just broken Piccolo's arm.

Vegeta watched, frowning, and then in shock as Otat's hand appeared from inside Piccolo. Piccolo's eyes widened and the Saiyan withdrew his arm. The green man collapsed to the ground in a bloody heap.

"MRRRRR. PIIIIIIICCOOOOOOOOLOOOOOOO!" Gohan yelled and flew at the Saiyan. In a flurry of kick's and punches, Otat was on the ground, Gohan pummelling him in the face. All of a sudden, Gohan was sent flying backwards as the Saiyan powered up. He wiped the blood from the side of his mouth and smirked at Gohan.

"Did I get you angry kid?" Gohan let out an enormous scream, and a blue aura appeared around him. He screamed again, and a series of ki blasts made their way towards the tall Saiyan, who brushed them all aside. "I'm sick of you kid, although you are strong and I'm amazed you held up against a Saiyan Elite, but all good things have to come to an end." He powered up and a small pink ki blast appeared in his hand. He threw his hand forward, and in one quick flash, the space where Gohan once stood was empty.

Vegeta's eyes widened. He'd killed them.

'Why can't he have killed fuck-boy instead?' Vegeta asked himself, but stepped towards the Saiyan anyway.

"I'm impressed," Vegeta told him. The Saiyan looked up.

"Who're you?" he asked dumbly.

"That's none of your business."

"Oh. I just thought you'd like your name on your tombstone." The Saiyan sniggered at his joke.

"I do. But I don't have to worry about that for a few years." Vegeta smirked coolly, unfolding his arms and taking a fighting stance.

"You know kid, if you weren't human, I'd swear you were Saiyan." Vegeta growled at the comment, taking it as an insult.

"I may be human, but I'm not a weak bastard like that lot," Vegeta indicated to the dead and battered Z Warriors.

"Oh yeah? Well let's see how you fare against a Saiyan Elite?" Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"I'll give you first shot, and I'll fight at half my power. Come one, give me your all." Otat growled and launched at Vegeta, who phased out then in again behind him. "I'm over here you great lump of lard!" he laughed as the Saiyan spun dumbly around looking for him. Vegeta sighed. This was going to be no match. He powered up, and drew back his hands. "FINAL FLASH!" he yelled, and another light show filled the sky. A look of horror crossed Otat's face, before he disappeared.

When the light of Vegeta's ki blast had died down, he looked around and sniggered, realising that he was the only one there. He'd taken out the others in his attack as well. He was just congratulating himself on getting rid of Yamcha, when everything went black.

"Where are you Carripa?" Buruma flicked a button on her scouter. It started beeping a numbers and words in her native Saiyan tongue flashed across the green screen. "There!" she pinpointed the Saiyan's ki moving south at an extreme speed. There was another power with her, but that didn't faze Buruma. She lifted into the air, before powering up and flying in Carripa's direction.

As she flew past the Chikyuu scenery, Buruma was surprised at just how alike Buruma-sei and Chikyuu-sei were. As soon as she had gathered Carripa, she would destroy any opposing force and send Nappa in search of the mysterious dragonballs. Using their powers, she would wish Buruma-sei and all the Saiyans back into existence.

Buruma dived down into the trees, flying a few feet above the river. She dropped her hand and allowed her fingers to skim the water's surface. She shuddered before shooting up above the treetops. A sudden ki surge had come to the attention of her scouter, and she looked East to see what looked strangely like a mushroom cloud.

"Stupid Elite! I told him to terrorize the less populated areas! I'll pound the stuffing out of him if he ever gets back here," she mumbled angrily.

Buruma sped up and changed the view on her scouter. She was gaining on Carripa. Another hour or two and she'd have the Saiyan within her grasp.

'If she's willing to come with us, then she could spawn more Saiyan! We only have one male though, and I can't blame her if she turns Nappa down. Oh well. We shall have the Dragonballs anyway. But she's in for the beating of her life for screwing up the purge of this planet. She's going to have her ass royally kicked. Literally.'

Next Chapter: What happened in the Pendulum Room? ^o^  Nappa has some fun with the Chikyuu-jin and on the way to Carripa, Buruma runs into some *resistance *? Goku makes his way to Chikyuu and *a * battle commences. Possibly not 'the' battle, but we shall see.

Author's Note: Well I'm so sorry it took so long, but it's AMFAHD week until Sunday so I hope to have up to chapter 11 done by then. Happy reading.
