Slowly but surely the smoke cleared the air leaving the two namekian's visible on the ground. Slug Jr's body lie still and piccolo did not look up. The special beam cannon had been a success; it broke straight through slug Jr's chest and seemingly defeated him. Piccolo panted heavily, his legs had given out from under him and he held his body up with his hands.

"That took everything I had," Piccolo grunted.

To his horror Slug Jr quickly sat up. The whole in his chest was gone, healed up and he grinned.

"Surprised to see me alive? C'mon now piccolo you couldn't have forgotten about my namekian healing powers." He snorted.

"Damn.. him." Piccolo whispered, completely weakened.

Slug jr chuckled evilly, Walking over toward the helpless piccolo. He leaned in close and then he sent a foot deep into piccolo's side making him gasp in pain.

"You should have never even tried to fight me." He said, then repeatedly kicking him in the side.

"Leave Mr. Piccolo alone!" Two voices said each on an opposite side of slug jr.

Two blue energy beams flew toward him, both exploding with ferocity. The smoke cleared and there stood goten and trunks, on opposite sides of slug Jr, both grinning. The two fighters launched themselves forward, throwing punches and kicks which slug Jr easily blocked. He sent the two small saiyajins away with knees in the stomach following with a double elbow into the back.

"This is quite ridiculous. Who sent them to fight me?" Slug Jr laughed.

"I did." Said vegeta floating upward.

"I thought I killed you." Slug jr said with a sneer.

"Well you thought wrong!" Vegeta screamed his aura immediately rising into super saiyajin.

The veins in vegeta's arms were clearly visible and his hair was longer, the pointed locks more defined. He cupped his hands and extended them forward.

"Let's finish with this!" He screamed, bolts of static electricity surrounding his body.

An energy ball began to form between his palms, energy generating around it. Vegeta chuckled loudly seeing the fear in the namekian's eyes; it gave him a feeling of absolute power. His body tensed and a beam erupted from his palms with velocity hitting slug Jr straight on with a flash of light. The beam exploded violently, the shockwave knocking vegeta backwards. Gohan flew upward, catching vegeta and then quickly releasing him.

"You think that did it?" Gohan asked.

"Not even close." Vegeta replied.

The smoke cleared and there stood a furious namekian blood trickling down his left side and chin. His clothing was ravaged and his expression grim. Goten and trunks floated beside gohan and vegeta watching slug jr intently.

"Where's piccolo?" Gohan asked goten.

"Trunks and I hid him in a cave nearby." Goten replied.

"Good. We don't need any distractions." Vegeta snorted.

"But we may need all the help we can get." Gohan said looking back toward slug jr.

The rogue namekian was powering up again, and his body was growing massive. Quickly his height rose, his arms growing grotesquely longer and after a few moments he towered over them. Slug jr had tapped into his super namekian power.

Back in other world..

"GOKU!"

North kaio screamed racing over to the feasting saiyajin. Goku looked up, taking another bite of chicken and then gulping it down,

"What's wrong North kaio?" Goku asked.

"Slug jr has just gone super namekian! He's at least 30 stories tall!" North kaio screamed.

"Oh, that's nice. I'm sure vegeta will be real happy he has a challenge." Goku said with a smile.

"YOU IDIOT! ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE SITTING HERE AND STUFFING YOUR DAMNED FACE!" North kaio screeched, his face turning purple.

Goku glanced over to him, taking another large swig of the bottled water provided for him. Then finally saying,

"Look, if things get really bad then ill step in, but they need to learn to fight by themselves and not always depend on me to save the day. If they do then they'll never get stronger." Goku said, then taking a bite of ramen.

"Goku you cant be serious." North kaio pleaded with him.

"But I am north kaio. Gohan, Vegeta and the others are strong and they need to realize it." Goku stood, finally full and began to walk away, the sash of his gi swaying with his stride.

Uubu watched his master leave and quickly scrambled to his feet calling after Goku. The two met in the grassy fields of the kaio world, ready to train again.

"Master Goku, do you really think that the others can beat Slug Jr?" Uubu asked.

"Yes, I do. But no more talk of that." Goku replied getting into a fighter stance.

The two warriors charged at each other, both in turtle school form. Uubu had definitely improved from last time; he was a lot quicker but still couldn't land a punch on goku. From a distance grand kaio watched the two, the glint from his glasses shining blindingly.

Back on earth..

The rogue namekian was insane. His new power had caused him to lose all control and now he was screaming, deafeningly loud. He stomped his feet repeatedly, leaving craters where he stood. Vegeta and the others were dodging in and out of the way, praying they didn't get squashed.

"Damn!" Gohan yelped barely dodging another stomp.

Slug jr screamed again, the sound wave enveloping the z fighters and tossing them off of their feet. This time however, the scream was followed by an energy blast that made a nearby mountain explode. Rocks and rubble came sailing down like cannon balls into the earth. Goten and trunks struggled to dodge them, but to no avail. Goten was struck with a large boulder and slammed into the earth, and trunks along with him.

"Stop it! Just stop it!" Vegeta screamed at the rampaging namekian.

Slug jr swung his massive hand, and connected with vegeta. The Giant namekian gripped the saiyajin prince in his mighty hand, beginning to squeeze his bones together. Vegeta gasped in pain, but did not utter a sound, for his lungs were being crushed in his body. The namekian let out another bellow, and then stormed away running at top speed. The others scrambled to their feet in disbelief of what just happened. Slug jr was invincible, he was huge and he was heading for West city.

"C'mon you guys, we have to go!" Gohan screamed leaping into the air and flying in the direction that slug jr went.

"Oh man trunks I'm scared!" Goten yelped.

"Goten stop being a baby." Trunks said following gohan.

The three saiyajins rushed off, in desperation to free vegeta from slug Jr's grasp and to save west city from certain destruction.

Slug Jr's all fired up and has his sights set on destroying the earth, even if he takes vegeta down with him. Can gohan and the others stop him? Or will goku step in to save the day? Find out more next time in Dragon Ball Z: The Son Of Slug! Thanks please review! - Peach man
