Chapter two Darkness falls

"Ah, that was great Chi" Bulma said as she finished her food. The sound of chopsticks hitting bowls and the creaking of chairs drew Bulma's attention to the Saiyans who had finished eating
"Ah, that was good" All three Son family Saiyans plus Trunks said. Vegeta grunted his approval
"Yeah, that was great" Videl agreed
"Oh thanks" Chi Chi said "I may not be a world class cook, but I can take care of me and mine"
The Sons and the Briefs were all at the Sons', completely oblivious to the coming disaster.

meanwhile

"Now, we will begin phase one" the figure at the head said "Here is a map of their areas" a large map appeared over the table, and split into several maps covering a large area of the world
"Hmm, there are many dots, many more than I thought there would be" One figure said "They are truly a large force"
"Yes, indeed, the heart of the enemy is large, and we must hit it in its entirety. We start now, while they are apart. It will take timing and synchronization. We must hit them all at once. If we are off by even a second they will sense what is happening, rally, and counterstrike. We must not allow them to strike back. And we must hit before we are seen by those who are searching for us" murmurs of agreement rose from the various figures "Now, are you ready?"
"I am, my lord"
"Good, you know what to do. Are our warriors in position?"
"Yes, father, they are" another shadowed figure said
"Good, we strike at my signal"

Son family residence

"Bye!" the Sons called as the Briefs flew away
"Bye!" the briefs waved back and shot off into the distance. The Sons walked into the house and Goku lingered outside for a moment before walking into the house and closed the door behind them. Suddenly, a large object dropped through the ceiling, the force of the impact knocking the group apart. Goku jumped up and yelled to Chi Chi.
"Get everyone out" Chi Chi jumped up and found Videl then they both ran for the door. Goku, now joined by his sons, gathered ki and prepared to shoot the armored figure. They fired, and despite the intensity of the combined blast, it bounced off and reflected straight toward Videl and Chi Chi. The two were caught off guard and before anything could be done, vanished in a flash of light and energy.
"NOOO!" the Saiyans, in their moment of distraction, yelled. Suddenly, the figure turned and fired a powerful blast, catching the Saiyans off guard and knocking them through the wall and into unconsciousness.

meanwhile

"Well, that was a fun evening" Bulma said cheerily
"Yeah Mom, we should do it more often" Trunks said. They weren't sure where the heavily armored figure appeared from, but he was suddenly right in front of them. Before the Saiyans could react, they were struck and landed on the ground. Bulma floated in shock, stuck in a daze. She then gathered ki to blast the figure while Vegeta and Trunks gathered theirs from the ground. Trunks and Vegeta unleashed a vicious combined blast that for all intents and purposes should have vaporized the figure. To their shock, he batted Bulma's into it and it was absorbed, then moved out of the way, putting Bulma into the blast's path. Bulma stood in shock and before Vegeta or Trunks could have done anything, she was gone in a flash of light and an explosion of energy. They stood rooted to the ground with the absolute horror of the death that had happened at their hands, and didn't notice the blast coming until they were unconscious.

At the same time

Krillin sat on the floor playing with Marron while Eighteen reclined in a chair, watching her family, a picture of content. The perfect scenario for the horrors that were to take place.
Eighteen was beginning to doze off, but her blanket of content was shattered by a scream of terror she was sure had come from Marron. She was instantly on her feet and as the smoke cleared she saw a large armored figure standing in the middle of the room. Krillin and Marron were on the other side, unharmed. Krillin was standing protectively in front of Marron. Eighteen gathered two large ki blasts and unleashed them one, and then the other. The figure hit Krillin into the path of one and, to her horror, he was incinerated. It then picked up Marron, and before she could do anything to stop it, Marron was no more, destroyed by the onslaught of her ki. The final screams of her child were ringing in her ears as she fell to her knees, no longer caring about the giant figure in her house. No longer caring about the large metallic fist holding her up. She welcomed the peace that came with the unconsciousness.

meanwhile, elsewhere

High above the Earth, peace reigned on the lookout. Piccolo was meditating peacefully, Mr. Popo was watering the flowers, and Dende was sitting next to Piccolo enjoying the sun, wondering if Gohan might enjoy a visit. The serenity was not to last.
Piccolo's peaceful meditation was broken by the sound of an engine, and he opened his eyes in time to see a large machine-like figure. Mr. Popo looked up from his watering and stepped back from the figure which had landed next to him and Dende moved behind Piccolo.
"Popo. Dende, run!" Piccolo yelled, discarding his cape and turban. He figured one large ki blast would get rid of the bucket of bolts, but he couldn't have Dende or Popo killed. He wouldn't allow it. Mr. Popo grabbed Dende's wrist as they ran and Piccolo gathered energy in his hands in front of his forehead as he had taught Gohan to do.
"Masenko Ha!" he fired the beam at the figure, but the figure easily deflected it and it moved straight for Dende and Mr. Popo. The two figures screamed in agony as they were engulfed in its light, and when Piccolo arrived a split second later all he found was Dende's walking stick.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" Piccolo's yell rang through the lookout, down to the chamber of the old guardians. Piccolo charged at the figure, but his rage made his techniques miss their mark, and the figure easily struck a pressure point, sending him into a deep and troubled sleep.

Meanwhile

Mr. Briefs was in his lab when he heard the door open and in walked his wife carrying tea.
"I thought you could use a break dear, so I brought you tea and cookies" she said. He thanked her and sat at a table in his lab with Mrs. Briefs across from him and they sat serenely drinking their tea and eating the cookies while looking out at the wonderful day. Their moment was ruined, however, when a large figure landed on the table between them, knocking Dr. Briefs into an open closet and a large piece of debris covered his opening and Mrs. Briefs backwards. He attempted to move the debris, to get to his ray gun, to do something, but the debris was too heavy. He could hear her screams until they suddenly stopped and the sound of jet engines fade into the distance.

At the same time

Tien and Yamcha were traveling in an airplane, Puar and Lunch sitting in the chairs across from them having a pleasant conversation. Their pleasant day wouldn't last long. The plane's wing seemed to simply cease to exist and Yamcha was forced to land it, and when the group went outside to examine it they were met with a large metallic figure. Tien and Yamcha took up their stances and Yamcha charged a large ki blast, Tien following his example, while Lunch and Puar ran for safety. They launched their joint attack, which seemed to simply bounce off of the figure and move straight towards the plane. The screams of their loved ones mixed with their cries of horror was the last thing they heard before they were hit and fell into unconsciousness.
