A/N: well, so far I've got two right answers for what language I'm using.
Congrats to the great sage and Ember12 for guessing it. Some interesting
ideas what languages other people thought I used. Never heard of Al Bhed,
who speaks it?
Luna's Meow- I thought that Tien regrew his arm during the actual fight with Nappa. If he didn't then, um...I just randomly gave him a new power (^_^)' I haven't actually seen the saiyan saga in years so I'm doing it purely on memory. I also may have confused it with Tien's four-arm witch technique (I think that's what it is called) that he used in Dragonball.
The Vampire Story Hunter- my computer isn't really working correctly on sending emails so you'll have to try and catch me at sometime when I'm online. You confuse me with what the problem seems to be. How long did you expect the Raditz stuff to last? It was only two or three episodes long in the TV show.
RedHairedSaiyanGirl- yup, I definitely see the similarity

Why is the name of the phobia for the fear of long words Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?
Chapter 4
Goku crossed his arms over his chest to block the oncoming assault from Vegeta. Vegeta used his speed to disappear from Goku's sight and elbow him in the head from above. Goku got up quickly and punched Vegeta in the face and then in his stomach sending him flying away.
Vegeta stopped himself and gathered energy into his hands and fired the blast at Goku. Goku dodged the blast and charged down to meet Vegeta head on. Goku threw a punch at Vegeta that connected with one of Vegeta's fists. He tried to punch with his other fist, but that one also met a fist of Vegeta's. Goku grabbed Vegeta's fists and rammed his head at Vegeta's forehead. Vegeta fell to the ground and was a bit dizzy from the hardness of Goku's head.
"Lucky shot, Kakarott," Vegeta grumbled.
Goku grinned. "Gee, thanks."
"Idiot," Vegeta mumbled under his breath. "Let's see you try and stop this one, GALLIC GUN FIRE!!!!!" A beam of energy flew from Vegeta's hand at Goku. Goku decided to counter it with his own blast.
"Kaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Goku's own attack collided with Vegeta's as the blasts struggled to push the other one back. Goku threw more power into his wave and Vegeta did the same. They continued adding more and more energy into their waves until Vegeta realized what a waste of energy this was. Thinking quickly, he fired another blast at Goku around their other blasts that hit the unsuspecting Goku in the back. With his concentration broken, the gallic gun and kamehameha wave hit him full force.
Goku got up breathing heavily. Over in the distance, Gohan and Piccolo observed and commented on the fight.
"What a stupid move," Piccolo stated. "He shouldn't have wasted so much energy at the start."
"Remember, Piccolo, we don't know how much energy my dad has with the training he received in other world," Gohan reminded him. Piccolo grunted in response.
Goku decided to get more serious and removed his weighted boots, wristbands, and shirt. He tossed them away and powered up some more. He charged once again at Vegeta and tried to kick him. Vegeta, who was unprepared for such an increase of speed, was hit in the stomach before Goku grabbed his head and repeatedly slammed it into his knee. As Goku's knee was about to connect again, Vegeta grabbed it and spun Goku around a couple times before thrusting him to the ground.
"KAO KEN TIMES TWO!!" Goku bellowed. He was instantly surrounded by a red aura as his power doubled. He flew in at Vegeta once again punching and kicking him all over, each hitting landing on Vegeta's body.
Vegeta growled. 'I can't believe this. I, the prince of all saiyans, am losing to a pathetic third-class warrior. I can't take him lightly anymore, better show him the full power of a saiyan warrior prince.' Vegeta made a ball of energy and threw it into the sky.
"Man, you must be really weak," Goku criticized. "That attack was nowhere near on target."
Vegeta grinned. "Who said I was aiming for you?" Goku looked up to see that Vegeta's blast had caused some weird kind of light to be seen in the sky. Puzzled, Goku looked back down at Vegeta to see his body growing with fur sprouting all over it. His eyes glowed red as all his teeth grew sharper and his mouth and nose grew outward. His battle armor had expanded to fit the bigger size of Vegeta.
"Hahahaha!!! There's no way you can win now Kakarott. My power has just increased tenfold." The oozaru Vegeta exclaimed. To prove his point, Vegeta slammed a hand down on Goku several times and stomped on him. He opened his mouth and released a beam of energy at Goku.
Goku slowly got back up and tried to think of a way out of this. Realizing how desperately he needed more power Goku further increased his power. "KAO KEN TIMES THREE!" His red aura grew more intense around his body and he took off towards Vegeta.
Goku slammed head first into the oozaru's stomach knocking it off balance. Vegeta used his tail to stabilize himself before swinging his arms around in an attempt to hit Goku. Goku flew up higher and threw another wave of energy at Vegeta. "Kamehame... HA!!!!!!!!!" The attack flew straight at Vegeta's face and hit him square in the eye.
"AHHHHH!!!!" Vegeta roared in pain. He realized that the blast had blinded him in his left eye completely and momentarily in his right eye.
Goku decided to use Vegeta's temporary blindness to his advantage to gather energy for his strongest attack. He raised his hands above his head. 'Give me some of your spare energy so that I can use it to rid this world of the evils the plague it. Give me energy to restore peace to the planet.' He felt energy being gathered and started forming it into a ball.
When Vegeta's vision was restored to his right eye, he charged at Goku. "You'll pay for that one, Kakarott!" He smacked Goku away and fired another mouth blast at him.
"DESTRUCTO DISC!"
Vegeta turned around to see a disc of energy heading straight for his tail. Acting quickly, he jumped over the disc so that he could retain his oozaru form and the advantage he had in the battle. He looked at a nearby cliff to see Krillin standing there, panting heavily from all the energy he used in the attack.
"Nice try, Chrome-dome. But with my enhanced hearing, I heard you coming from a mile away," He mocked.
"TRI-BEAM HAAA!"
Vegeta looked towards the source of the sound and fired a blast of energy from his mouth to cancel the other attack. "Baka ningens. Do you really expect to beat me with such amateur tactics?" Senses alerting him of danger, he once again jumped and looked down to see a new warrior with black hair and a red and black striped outfit, sword in his hand, sail by underneath where his tail had been moments before. He whacked the newcomer with his tail rendering him unconscious. He then launched another blast of energy from his mouth at Tien that blew him apart, killing him.
As he was about to repeat the process with Krillin, he heard a roar in the distance and looked to see Gohan who had also transformed into his oozaru state. Gohan grinned at Vegeta.
"Did you actually think I'd let you have all the fun here, Vegeta? I promised you a fight earlier and now I'm going to give it to you."
Vegeta looked on surprised. 'The half-breed also has control over his oozaru state?' He then charged at Gohan and threw a punch at him with speeds seemingly impossible for such a large creature. Gohan blocked the punch and tried to kick Vegeta only to have his leg grabbed. Gohan wrapped his tail around one of Vegeta's legs and pulled so both oozarus fell to the ground.
They both fired beams of energy from their mouths at each other but the blasts just exploded on impact. Gohan charged Vegeta again and tried to punch him in the face only to have Vegeta grab the arm. He threw his other arm at Vegeta, but that too was caught. Gohan pulled his arms towards him bringing Vegeta with and kneed him in the stomach. He then leaned over and sunk his fangs into Vegeta's shoulder before releasing a blast of energy from his mouth.
Gohan and Vegeta saw a ball of energy fly by and collide with Vegeta's ball of artificial moonlight destroying it. Gohan and Vegeta both felt their bodies getting weaker and shrinking to their original sizes.
Both warriors fell to the ground. Vegeta's armor was cracked on the chest and his spandex suit was torn in several places. Gohan remained naked on the ground. Gohan got up and used his powers to materialize a purple gi with red belt and wristbands on himself before standing up.
"Krillin!" Goku cried desperately.
"Yeah, Goku?" Krillin asked.
"Here. Take this energy. It's a spirit bomb. I need you to throw it at Vegeta. It should be strong enough to finish the job." Goku explained.
"But, but, how am I supposed to hit him? He's too fast for me!"
"Don't worry about that part," Gohan said getting up and walking over. "I can use my mental powers to hold him still."
"Wow! Choutzu could do that too. That should make this a whole lot easier." Krillin exclaimed.
A blue glow surrounded Krillin's fist as the power of the spirit bomb was transferred to him. Gohan began concentrating to prevent Vegeta from going anywhere.
"Take this, Vegeta!" Krillin yelled throwing his fist forward releasing the energy of the spirit bomb. Vegeta tried to dodge the blast but found that his body wasn't moving. He looked over and saw Gohan smirk at him for a second before resuming his concentration.
The blast hit Vegeta and caused a huge explosion. Krillin was staring in shock at the magnitude of the blast. When the dust cleared he saw a beaten and bloody Vegeta lying on the floor. Krillin also noticed that he was still alive. He looked over and saw Yajirobee's sword lying on the ground and picked it up. He flew at Vegeta and raised the sword above his head to finish the job.
"No, Krillin. Wait," Goku called weakly.
"What is it, Goku?" Krillin pondered.
"Let him go. He has been defeated and we don't want to stoop down to his level and kill a defenseless person." Goku explained.
"But won't he just heal, come back, and try to kill you again? I think it would be easier to finish him now."
"No," Goku insisted. "Let him go. He may just change his ways."
"I don't like this but if you insist."
Vegeta reached up and pressed a button to call his space pod to him. When it landed, he opened the door and climbed in. He set the coordinates, closed the door, and flew off back into space to heal. The others just stood there and watched him leave, Gohan contemplating whether or not to just blow it up.
He decided against it for his father's sake. As he returned his sight to the battlefield, he caught a speck of silver in the distance. The object, whatever it was, was giving him a bad feeling and he trusted his instincts. He held his arm out and fired a ball of energy at the object, incinerating it. Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Bad feeling," was all he told them. Piccolo grunted as he, too, trusted his feelings and had taught Gohan to do the same.
They sensed several weak energies heading towards them and waited for them to arrive, knowing it was just Chichi and Bulma. They saw the flying car coming soon after and didn't have to wait long until they landed. Chichi immediately came running out.
"GOHAN!" she cried while gathering him into a hug. "Oh it's so good to see my baby good. You have a lot of catching up to do. I bet that green monster didn't even bother to keep you studying. HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME LIKE THAT!!! No one likes me anymore." Sweat drops appeared on everyone else's head.
"I still love you, mom," Gohan said. "If it counts for anything, Piccolo taught me Namekian."
"I know you do, honey. GOKU!!!" she yelled brandishing her frying pan and whacking Goku a few times with it. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?! Getting our precious little baby into a fight and then disappearing for a year to do who knows what. Oh my! Look at your condition. We better get you to a hospital right away."
"Krillin?" Bulma asked. "Where's Yamcha?" Krillin just pointed up. "You mean he's d... de... dead?" She asked with tears in her eyes. Krillin just nodded. "Same with Choutzu and Tien. We can only use the dragonballs on Tien or Yamcha because Choutzu has died before."
"Hmmm," Gohan pondered. "If Kami created the dragonballs and was Namekian, shouldn't there be like a planet or something full of Namekians that have their own set of dragonballs.
Everyone thought about the question for a while until Bulma responded, "It makes sense. If one of them can make dragonballs then I'm pretty sure that others can make them too. The only problem is that we don't know where to find other Namekians."
"I believe I can help you with that problem," a new voice announced. They turned around to see a black genie-type person sitting on his flying carpet.
"Really, Mr. Popo?" Goku asked with childish curiosity. "How?"
"I recently located the ship that Kami was sent to Earth on. It still has the coordinates of the planet if you wish to go."
"Oh great," Piccolo muttered. "No matter what happens, I can't get away from my connection to that old man. I must be cursed or something."
"Toda, Piccolo," Gohan said sarcastically. "Anii margeesh tov me'od achshav." (Thanks. I feel really good now.)
"Well, who's going to go to Namek?" Mr. Popo queried.
"I'm going," Piccolo stated. "Anything to get away from him."
"I obviously have to go," Bulma said. "I'm the only one smart enough to know how to pilot the ship."
"I'd suggest we bring Gohan with. He's the strongest active fighter we have right now," Piccolo pointed out.
"WHAT!! You have got to be kidding me! I just got my baby back and there's no way you're going to take him away from me so soon." Chichi shrieked.
"Why don't you worry about Goku now, woman. I think his life is more important than whether or not I take Gohan with me to Namek, which I will." Piccolo replied.
"WELL?? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, AN INVITATION? GET MY GOKU TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!!!" Gohan and Piccolo fell to the ground clutching their ears.
"Right away, Chichi," Krillin stuttered. He picked Goku up and flew off to the hospital.
'I think that mother of yours is going to make me deaf one of these days kid.' Piccolo thought to Gohan. Gohan chuckled in reply.
"Well? Are either of you two going to take a hint or do I have to spell it out to you?" Chichi asked.
"Oh yeah. Right away mom," Gohan said. He then picked her up and followed Krillin.
"Don't expect me to carry you anywhere," Piccolo said gruffly.
"That's okay. I'm sure Mr. Popo can give me a ride to wherever the ship is and we can wait for Gohan there, if he manages to get away from Chichi," Bulma stated.
"You mean, when he gets away. He's my student, he knows a couple ways to get out of there with Chichi thinking he's still there." Piccolo informed her. 'Good old split form.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Excuse me!" Krillin yelled. "My friend here was in a, um... serious accident and needs help right away."
"Ok. Please follow me." The nurse replied.
"Please tell me they aren't going to use any needles on me. I hate needles." Goku pleaded.
"Sorry, but you're definitely going to be getting a few shots," the nurse stated. Goku cringed at the thought of getting a needle.
"Don't worry," Krillin whispered to Goku. "I can sense Yajirobee heading towards Korin's tower. He's probably getting some senzu beans." Goku breathed a sigh or relief.
"Hey, Krillin," Gohan called, "How's my dad?"
"He'll make it, kiddo," Krillin said. Realizing Chichi was worrying over Goku; he turned to Gohan and whispered, "Now would be a could time to high-tail it out of here. I'll cover for you while you go get anything you need for the trip and I'll be out in about ten minutes. There's no way I'm going to stay here with Chichi when you leave."
"Ok. But I already have everything I'll need. Piccolo taught me to materialize clothes, weapons, and most importantly, food," Gohan drooled slightly at the thought of food. He held out his hand and made an apple appear which he ate quickly. He then turned around and flew out of the building towards where he sensed Piccolo's energy signal with Krillin right behind him.
**********************************************
Yay! Another chapter done! Felt weird typing Chichi's mood swings. In case you're wondering, the silver speck Gohan destroyed was one of those bugs Dr. Gero uses to collect cells from the Z-fighters and enemies. Review and tell me what you thought.
Luna's Meow- I thought that Tien regrew his arm during the actual fight with Nappa. If he didn't then, um...I just randomly gave him a new power (^_^)' I haven't actually seen the saiyan saga in years so I'm doing it purely on memory.
