A/N: JDX: I.... Love... You! I do, I really, really do! Your last review got my mind spinning and working and new ideas popped up, lots and lots of them! So, I big thank-you to you!
Also, it turns out I was wrong in my last note. I'd said our 'bad guy in the shadows' most likely wouldn't be appearing in this saga. Well, he will. With those ideas that JDX spawned in my head I realized having him make an appearance or two would be a good idea. Well, enough of that, on to why you're even here, the story!
Chapter Four - The Assault Begins!
Sanil stepped into a large room and the door slid shut behind him with a hiss. Two short pink aliens looked his way at the sound and then quickly returned to what they were doing. Sanil walked up behind them and looked over their shoulders at the monitors before them. He couldn't make out anything on either one however, despite having lived with the short pink aliens for over four hundred years he'd never learned to read their language. "So, how is the conversion process going?" he inquired at last.
"A little slower than anticipated sir." came one of the shrill voiced replied. "The delay is only by 1.2% however, and will only extend the process by an hour."
"Good, good. And what of the freezing process?"
The other alien glanced back at him. "Planet temperature has dropped 0.8 degrees already. It's going down at an increasing rate. We should have our target temperature within three hours at this rate."
Sanil smirked. "Good, one less thing for those Ordian ingrates to complain about." He cast a glance at the armor clad and purple skinned guard near the door before turning back to the two pink aliens. "And the radar system?"
"Still nothing sir." the alien on his right replied. "The Dragonballs of this planet have not reappeared since we first lost them. My best guess is a longer regeneration period for the balls of this world, or the death of their creator."
Sanil nodded. It didn't really matter if they got to use the Dragonballs or not. They weren't the top priority. "Very well then, begin the extraction pro..." he stopped as the normally white lights of the ship turned yellow. That meant they were on yellow alert, and only one thing could put them on yellow alert. The Ordian soldiers that had been sent out to claim the area and keep out trespassers had failed. /Well, I pity those fools who are challenging us. By now Angira and his men are out there and ripping them apart./
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Slug sipped more of the water in his glass as he watched the holo screen. He'd seen the two warriors arrive shortly after his son had left, and right now the Ordian soldiers were filing out of the ship. Slug already had the cover open to the 'Yellow Button'. He and his son could both sense powers, unlike the others on the ship, and he could tell that unless luck was on the soldiers side they'd lose the battle.
It took a moment for the battle to start, and Slug listened closely to their conversation. He'd learned that knowledge about ones enemies was always a good thing. He'd caught the mention of the name Bardock earlier, before the soldiers had taken to the field, and recognized it as Sai-jin. Not a threat to him, but if he was a Super Elite that would be an interesting battle to watch. His eyes narrowed a bit as the large alien's voice reached his ears. "So... you guys can sense power-levels as well?" he said quietly to himself. "Something to remember..."
A moment later he frowned as he saw the large Alien charging a strong attack. His finger reached down and before the blast had even hit the ground the lights shifted to yellow. "Hmmm... what's this?" he said, eyes widening slightly. "Several high powers are nearing... more than enough to give even Doro a run for his money... this should prove most entertaining." A moment later his eyes widened yet again as he gazed upon the green form that landed with the others. "So, the creator of the Dragonballs on this world is a fighter as well then. I can't sense much from him though... he's hiding his power." He watched the events pass by for a moment and his eyes widened again. "My word... Such power for child!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You'd have done well to stay away." Angira said looking over the new arrivals, confident they'd be easily dealt with.
"This planet is under the protection of the Sai-jin Empire, surrender at once or be destroyed." Bardock ordered. He wasn't worried about these three in the least. It was obvious they weren't suppressing their energy any and the only ones the three of them would stand a chance against were Gohan and Videl. Speaking of which... he turned his head in time to see Gohan stand up from over Krillin and turn to glare at the large orange Alien.
Bardock's attention was diverted back to the Aliens as Angira laughed. "Sorry Sai-jin, but you're no match for us. We'll deal with you quickly enough."
Kamandur laughed. "Yeah, and then I'll send you all on a one way trip to Otherworld." he said grinning. "So, who's first?"
Appla had been about to step forward when Bardock's hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. She looked back at him questioningly but he merely glanced to the side. Following his gaze she saw Gohan in his mini Piccolo GI walking forward, a determined look on his face. She looked back to Bardock and nodded.
"You leave them alone!" Gohan called stopping a few feet from the Aliens, the wind picking up and ruffling his hair and GI.
"Well would you look at that." Kamandur said smirking. "The little kid wants to play. Go away boy, this here's a discussion between the big boys."
Gohan's look hardened and his white aura flickered to life suddenly. The ground beneath his feet crumbled and rocks floated into the area in a five yard radius. After a moment his aura stabilized and the rocks fell as he reached his full power. During the entire thing Doro and Kamandur had merely smirked, but Angira had cocked an eyebrow. Not just Gohan's little show, but also at the fact that the others seemed content with letting the young warrior fight them.
There was a flash of light and crack as Gohan launched through the air at the large orange Alien faster than he could see. Another crack sounded a second later as Gohan's fist met with his face sending him sailing backward. The large man zipped past Angira who didn't even bother to move as the sudden breeze Kamandur created caused his hair to flap behind him. There was a burst of orange behind him and the large man shot forward at Gohan looking none to pleased.
Gohan slipped easily around each swing as the large man kept coming. Ducking under another punch he moved in closer and slammed his foot into the others stomach before shooting straight up and smashing his knee into his chin lifting him off the ground. Recovering in the air he thrust an arm out and fired a stream of orange energy that engulfed Gohan and sped off into a building. When the attack ended Kamandur's eyes widened. Gohan still floated there, his arms crossed and legs pulled up in defense.
Lowering his legs he looked up over his arms and smiled. In one fluid motion he uncrossed his arms and shot off his own orange-purple stream of energy which blasted clean through the other's chest and drove him back along it's length. As the attack died all Doro could do was gape at the kid, but Angira was busy looking over the others. /If the kid's that strong, what about the rest?/ he wondered.
"Alright Gohan." Appla said walking up beside him. "You need to sit the rest of these out. I know how you feel," she began, cutting him off before he could protest. "But you're not as strong as these two, and you can sense that just as well as I can."
"Oh, alright." Gohan said with a frown. Turning around he walked off to where Videl still knelt with Krillin.
Appla walked turned from Gohan to the two Aliens. "So, is wing boy going to fight next, or should we just cut to the end?" she asked looking at Angira.
"Why you!" Doro cried walking forward. "I'm stronger than you are Sai-jin! Let's go!" His wings flapped a few times and he lifted up off the ground.
Appla smiled as he lifted into the air. It was a bit hard to see with the cloud cover but that would change soon. As he charged at her she called out, "Kaio Ken times 25!" She lifted a few inches into the air herself and slid to the right as Doro's fist lanced out at her, and missed. He growled and swung again but she slid to the other side dodging it again. With a roar of anger he began swinging at her as quickly as possible but she kept dodging with ease.
"Hold still bitch!" he yelled.
"Hey now, there's kids present!" she said as she quit dodging and caught his fist in one hand. "Well... I'm holding still."
He tugged his arm a few times trying to break her grip but soon gave up on that and swung his free fist at her head. She tilted her head back and he missed. Her left foot lanced up and slammed into his stomach, his eyes bulged out and he stumbled backwards. She lashed out with a kick to his face and he was knocked back and out.
Angira uncrossed his arms at last. "This is supposed to be my day off girl." he said eyeing her up. "Let's go!"

Unknown Location:
An armored man with purple skin and black hair made his way down one of the numerous long halls. His eyes were glued to the information scrolling across his visor as he walked. /He's not going to like this... he's not going to like this.../ kept running through his mind. A moment later he reached the intricately decorated hall and then the doors that lead into the private chambers of his King. He paused in front of the doors as new data appeared on the visor. /He is NOT going to like this... why do I have to tell him? Man.../ He reached up a hand and knocked on the door a few times. /He's got his communicator off, he dosen't want disturbed... that's why Ravenna set me down here... she didn't want to interrupt her father ca.../
His train of thoughts were cut off by a call from within. "This had BETTER be important!" he yelled. A moment later the doors opened and the soldiers eyes widened at the sight before him. Raven, Queen Raven, long black hair flowing over her shoulders, and in nothing but towel...
/OH MAN! This is not the kind of thing I want to be interrupting!/ He shook his head lightly as his King walked up to the door and glared his blue eyes at the guard before him, tail lashing around behind him in agitation. "S-sorry Lord..."
"Just get to the point!" the man demanded, tail wrapping itself about his waist.
The guard noticed this and didn't like the implications to much. "Ravenna sent me to inform you sir... the Earth is being attacked."
"Attacked?" Raven asked surprised. "But... Cold shouldn't get there for a while yet... he shouldn't have even left his own planet yet."
"Not him my Queen, records show that it's a Namek by the name of Slug."
The man growled. "Rotten imbecile!" he cried turning about. "Raven, get dressed, we're heading back up to the control room!"
Also, it turns out I was wrong in my last note. I'd said our 'bad guy in the shadows' most likely wouldn't be appearing in this saga. Well, he will.
