Chapter Four: The Arrival of the Saiyans

Goku bonked Gregory on the head as hard as he could. The little beetle flew back, holding his head for the second time that day.

"I'm all right. That didn't hurt," said poor Gregory.

King Kai chuckled to himself as a huge bump grew out of the top of Gregory's head.

"Oh really? Then I suppose that bump on your head isn't really there!"

King Kai cracked up as Gregory's face fell. The little beetle felt the tip of his bump and winced as his fingers met tender skin.

Goku had finally gotten to King Kai's planet after being sent back to King Yemma's drawer by the Ogres of HFIL and being delayed by Princess Snake. Now he was laughing with King Kai at Gregory's expression.

King Kai's antennae twitched. Suddenly the North Quadrant Guardian scrunched down in panic. Goku saw King Kai and wondered why.

"King Kai, what's wrong?" he asked.

"If you put your hand on my back, you can see for yourself!"

Goku stood behind the North Quadrant Kai and placed a broad hand on the latter's back, almost pushing him to the ground. A picture filtered into his head. He recognized planet Earth in the picture. The odd balls of metal in craters around them were also familiar to Goku. It was the people standing next to the craters that were totally strange.

They were similar to Raditz in many ways. They wore armor spandexes and had tails. One was shorter than the other, but had an authoritative air around him. He had on a blue gi under a white armor spandex. Black spiky hair arranged in a fire pattern swept away from his head to reveal an expression on the short guy's face as very smug, and maybe a little cranky. (A little?!)

The other dude was much taller than his companion was. He was bald with freckles on top of his head. He had a mustache and a very bully-ish expression on his face. He was large and bulky, and easily intimidating. The tail behind him waved in either fiendish delight or anticipation. Which one, Goku didn't know.

King Kai gasped. "I hoped these two wouldn't show up! Goku, you're going to have to defeat these two before they do anything as serious as blowing up the planet!"

Goku was floored. "WHAT! CAN THEY ACTUALLY DO THAT?! Blow up the planet, I mean."

King Kai fell on his ear anime-style. How thickheaded can this one get? I'll have to tell him about the Saiyan race then!

Abruptly turning away he went into his house. Goku looked after him, surprised. After a while of standing there doing nothing, he dragged his feet at the gravity and followed King Kai.

There, Goku listened to King Kai as he related the story of the Saiyan race. Goku was absolutely shocked to find out that Raditz was right, he was not human. He was a Saiyan, just like Raditz and the two people he had seen on Earth through King Kai.

When King Kai finished his parable, Goku said nothing. Then,

"What do I have to do to beat those two Saiyans on Earth?"

King Kai sighed with relief. He had hoped Goku wouldn't refuse to fight after hearing about the power the Saiyan prince and his bodyguard had. He led Goku outside, where the training began in earnest.

ON PLANET GIENDON

Kakkhan's ki swept up in a fury, his [presence] soaring along with it. Aslib had just dealt him a dirty trick, and Kakkhan was now acting upon it. A wind swept into the G-dome. Kakkhan obtained an aura with white edging. His power rose to its full potential, seemingly overtaking Kakkhan in its journey. Kakkhan ceased his screaming and glared at Aslib. His teacher was grinning, finally having pushed his student overboard to reach the ascension before Super Saiyan (What is that level called anyway?). Kakkhan had been on the verge for so long, Aslib had thought that Kakkhan would never reach it. Well, now, he finally had.

Aslib's grin turned down as Kakkhan charged at him. Teacher rose to meet student, but was left in confusion as the student disappeared. (This fight sound familiar?) Aslib felt something behind him and to the left, and faced a very short but very angry Kakkhan.

To the untrained eye, the fight that followed were just flashes of Kakkhan's green gi and Aslib's yellow one. The trained eye, however, saw Kakkhan try to beat the lights out of Aslib. Aslib was hanging on, though, and the fight gradually became more even. Finally Kakkhan was knocked to the ground by a vicious combo of a kick to the stomach and three punches to the head. Kakkhan groaned, but just lay there, too tired to move. Aslib flew down and landed lightly beside him. The proud chibi Saiyan's ki and [presence] were settling down to normal. Kakkhan smiled weakly at his sensei, and tried to voice an apology for his behavior.

Aslib chuckled and waved him off. "No Boy, it is I who must apologize. I was the one taunting you, and therefore the one what drove you mad. I must say though, you did an excellent job of reaching the level before Super Saiyan. Now it's time to focus on controlling your ki and [presence] in this level, the control of your techniques and styles, and your telepathic and emphatic abilities now that you are at this level. Then we'll move from there." Kakkhan's training master crossed his arms.

Kakkhan looked at his master eagerly. "Then we'll move on to Super Saiyan, right? That will be so cool…"

Aslib chuckled again and uncrossed his arms. "Then we'll move on to Super Saiyan. For now, let's meditate to get a head start on controlling your ki and [presence] in this level."

"After we have a Senzu bean first."

"Yes, after we both have a Senzu bean."

After they had their Senzu beans, they settled into meditation for the next half-hour. Aslib coached Kakkhan through the meditation as Kakkhan powered up again.

The remaining half-hour darted away. Kakkhan Instant Transmitted back to his room to change his gi and get dressed appropriately for his academic training with Janden.

He had a brief verbal spar with Tyeler, as usual, then collected his books. Tyeler told him,

'Kakkhan, you'd better take your Saiyan Heritage books with you. You're going to need them with Janden today.'

"Okay, thanks. Wonder why I'm going to need them? We're not starting Saiyan history for another month or so."

'Oh, I think you'll find your schedule has changed much, my friend. Don't be surprised at what Janden tells you, it is the reason why he has changed your academic timetable. It's also why Aslib pushed you to the level before Super Saiyan. You'll see what I mean when you get there.'

There was an inscrutable note in Tyeler's voice as it said these words. Kakkhan looked at the door oddly, but retrieved those books. Then Kakkhan looked at his time-keeping device and moved quickly.

I'm gonna be late if I don't move it! With that thought Kakkhan IT'd to Janden's studio just in time. There he got an unpleasant surprise. Janden and Xian, Kakkhan's future Saiyan teacher, looked up as Kakkhan appeared. They watched the expression on Kakkhan's face turn from pensive to horror as the Saiyan looked at the moving hologram at the back of the studio. It showed the image of what Goku had seen through King Kai before. Kakkhan threw down his books and opened the first Saiyan volume. He flipped through the pages until he came to the section on the Royal family. With a sigh, Kakkhan dropped down onto his usual chair, staring at the double images of Prince Vegeta and the bodyguard Nappa smirking at him.

Kakkhan had been warned about this kind of situation. If anyone or anything appeared on Earth, and was a danger to the planet, Kakkhan would be sent to defeat or fix the threat and return to Giendon once he was done. Kakkhan had taken the warning seriously, but hadn't thought that it would happen. And now it had.

He sighed. "Well, I guess I'd better start doing my research before I go off to defeat those two, huh?" said Kakkhan, breaking the silence.

Janden and Xian smiled, a little sadly. "It would be a good idea. However, we can do this in style," said Xian.

Some of Kakkhan's gloom evaporated when he heard Xian's words. With a will not an enthusiastic as usual, he flipped to the front of the book and started a research project on the Saiyans that would last for three whole days.

After six days, Kakkhan was ready, both in martial arts and in research. He was going to Earth in a Warphole done by Janden, since he didn't know how far it was from Giendon to Earth. Balannon came to see him off, along with Aslib, Janden, Rerun, Xian, Iyo, and many other Laniins Kakkhan didn't know. The bossy female Laniin was also there, to Kakkhan's surprise. She was the one Kakkhan and Janden had met on Kakkhan's first tour of the Tiara, and who had told him about the talking bedrooms. She raised her thirteen-fingered hand in farewell, then stepped into the crowd. Kakkhan looked after her blinking in shock. That was pushed into the back of his head to ponder on a rainy Earthling day when Janden stepped forward and patted his shoulder in goodbye.

The other people paid their good byes, with Balannon straining to control his emotions. (I wonder why I'm making the Laniins so emotional. Is it because they don't believe he'll come back from the Saiyans alive?) Balannon failed miserably and just plain hugged his best friend. Balannon was very emotional and had yet to learn to control his impulses.

Aslib came and cuffed Kakkhan on the back of his head. It was an affectionate gesture, which was rare from Aslib. Easygoing, rarely losing his temper Aslib. He bent down to view Kakkhan in the face and whispered, "Boy, remember what I said about controlling your temper and staying focused in battle."

Kakkhan smiled wryly. "I will, Master Aslib, I will."

Kakkhan's teacher stepped back. Nirvana, the Headmistress Laniin, moved in his place. She reached out and cupped Kakkhan's cheek in her hand.

She said in her smooth euphonious voice, "Whatever you do, do not give away your name to the people you meet on planet Earth. Do not get acquainted. It will be for the better if you do not. Not until later in your life. It would also be wise to not exert your full strength unless you are absolutely sure you need to. Now go in faith, my friend, and heed well my advice."

The child Saiyan nodded. He placed a neutral expression on his face and squared hi shoulder. Swinging around, Kakkhan strode into Janden's Warphole, not to be seen again for many days. He would heed his Headmistress' advice and remain a mysterious warrior to those Saiyans and their friends. Kakkhan vowed he would only help out in case of dire need, not taking on Prince Vegeta and the blood-crazy guard directly unless he needed to.

MUCH LATER, ON EARTH

KAKKHAN

I stepped out of the pentagonal passageway to find an eerily familiar landscape around me. I was glad for the armband nestled on my left arm. I didn't feel safe in this place; it was so foreign and yet so familiar from the training in Master Aslib's G-dome. It also had to do with the fact that I knew the dangerous Saiyan Prince and his Royal bodyguard were approximately fifty feet off to an angle to my right. I also felt a lesser ki of five warriors, undoubtedly the Human warriors here to defeat the Saiyan pair.

I decided to find a spot on the cliff above the Saiyans. I was going to try to keep out their sight and to find any weaknesses besides their tails. My mind made up, I flew to the cliff overlooking the Royal pair and watched.

I watched a three-eyed man step forward to challenge Nappa. I looked on as both the three-eye and a scar-faced man in a red gi died trying to defeat the Saibamen (?). I saw the last of the Saibamen die with the scar-face, and stood by as Nappa shot a ki ball at the tall green man, the Namekian. The Namekian wasn't fast enough, and he died.

Sensing a powerful ki descend from the sky, I looked up. It was a tall man in a red gi identical to the ones the scar-face and a midget were wearing. I silently gasped as I recognized this one to be another Saiyan, the one that had been sent on a purging mission to this very planet. His memory had been wiped out somehow, so now he was the guardian of this planet. I thought, How ironic.

The man called out, "Krillin, get away from here while I take care of these two. Go now!"

"Okay, Goku!" The bald midget sped off into the air, a white aura leaving a temporary trail behind him. I observed the man that was Kakkarot shift his attention back to Prince Vegeta. The look on the warrior's face was a look I knew well: I had worn it myself often in the past. It was one of total concentration on one particular thing, a thing that was meant to be defeated.

Prince Vegeta smirked. "Nappa, go fight him. I'm sure this third-class Kakkarot baka will be easy to defeat."

Nappa knocked a hard fist into a flinty hand. The Saiyan Kakkarot landed on the ground and moved into a fighting stance. The stance was one I could find few faults in. Mentally I whistled, impressed. Outwardly, I kept my neutral look. I had the unreasonable feeling that if I showed any emotion, I would be spotted and ripped into shreds before I could move a muscle.

The two fighters charged at each other. They punched and kicked their way into a whirlwind. I tried to keep track of their movements, with less success than I expected. From what I could see and sense, Kakkarot had the upper hand over Nappa. Sneaking a glance at the Prince, I saw the startings of irritation in that smirk. Vegeta could see that Nappa wasn't going to last much longer. I turned back to the fight.

Then Vegeta stopped the fight.

"Nappa, get over here. I want to talk to you."

Nappa walked over to his Prince. I, being on the cliff overlooking them, could hear every word.

"Nappa, I want you to find and kill the weakling Kakkarot sent away. I will dispose of the son of that third class Bardock."

Nappa protested, "But, Your Highness, I want to fight that baka."

Vegeta glared at his supposed bodyguard. "Nappa, I will explain to you why I want you to find the weakling and take care of him. He is the only one besides Kakkarot who knows we're here, and he might come back with reinforcements. Reinforcements strong enough to seriously injure us, not that he could find any strong enough. But if he dies, then no one will be able to stand in our way and we can blow this mud ball of a planet up and go back to Vegeta-sei! Now do what I commanded you to do a few minutes ago!"

Nappa's face brightened, and he bowed low. "Yes, Your Highness. That is an excellent idea, Your Highness. I will kill the weakling human now."

"Good."

Nappa blasted off into the air. Vegeta turned back to Goku. Sensing Nappa far off into the distance, close to the midget's ki, I IT'd to appear directly in front of Nappa.

Since I had on a ki damper, thank Kami, Nappa didn't see me until he crashed headfirst into my outstretched fist. A noise of surprise and pain erupted from Nappa's throat. The big warrior staggered in the air and fell to the ground with an audible thud.

I flew down to where Nappa lay and blasted him with a ki blast. For some reason, I didn't enjoy the blasting. Of course, I had never used my ki to kill anyone, even if that person deserved it, like Nappa. I looked first at the disintegrated ash that was once Nappa, then at my hands. Back and forth I looked.

KRILLIN

I had hidden behind one of the mountains in an effort to hide from the broad fighter. I had felt the ugly warrior coming close, and I knew he was out to kill me. I could feel that Goku was still alive, so the short guy must have sent Nappa here.

I was mighty glad when Goku showed up. Now I didn't have to fight for Earth alone, if alone I was indeed fighting. Before Goku showed up, and even now, I felt like I was being watched. Watched by someone other than the two people before me then. That feeling was stronger in this area.

Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was the voice of the dumb warrior.

"WHERE ARE YOU, HUMAN? COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!"

I started to panic. I didn't know what to do. I thought of staying in hiding and trying to keep him from finding me, but that would only stall for time. I thought of flying out and making him chase me, but that would just speed up my death. But what happened next ended my dilemma for me.

In a flash of green and black, a kid appeared right in front of the ugly warrior as he was flying. The kid punched the other fighter in the top of the head hard. With a bellow of surprise and pain, the bald bully lost his balance and fell to the ground, thudding loudly. The kid landed next to the big brute of flesh and fired a ki blast at him.

My jaw hung open in shock. Then I noticed the kid's shoulders sagged, and he kept looking from his hands to the scorched ground where the big Saiyan had once been. I guessed that the kid had not killed anyone before, and didn't like it. I emerged from my hiding place and said,

"It's all right, kid. But tell me, why did you kill him while he was defenseless?"

The kid jumped. He looked at me wildly. Apparently he didn't think me dangerous, for he relaxed immediately. I could see he was still wary, so I approached him with care.

"It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you, unless you're on his side." I jerked a thumb at the big warrior's extermination ground.

The kid snorted derisively. "Him? Nappa may the Prince's bodyguard, but he is a disgrace to the Saiyan race. Ugh!" This last was directed in the area where I had left Goku, and I assumed, the person who the kid referred to as "the Prince". I could feel what had cut the kid mid-sentence, as Goku's voice echoed,

"SPIRIT BOMB!"

A huge amount of ki started flowing off everything we could see: the flowers, the grass, the mountains, even our clothes. My companion "ugh" again, and raised his arm. Ki poured from his hand into the air and joined the other ebbing of ki. That outpouring drifted swiftly in Goku's direction, but that was not what surprised. What surprised me was the fact that the kid had known was going on a t all, and had actually helped.

The mysterious fighter sighed. Looking at me, he grinned outright. The grin transformed the kid's features into a five-year-old's face, instead of someone much older. I guess I must have looked funny, particularly since my jaw had dropped to the ground.

The kid said, "You look funny with that look on your face. Now, back to business. Follow me, we must get quickly back to your friend's aid. I have a feeling he'll need it."

With that, he blasted off into the air. I looked after him, my jaw still hanging open. A number of facts about that kid that I didn't expect in any kid about five years of age: his voice was way too mature, he understood what was going on way better than I did, he knew how to fly, to shoot ki, and he knew tactics of fighting. I shook my head at my bemusement, and followed the cryptic kid back to Goku.

KAKKHAN

The midget and I flew back to the main fight, just in time to see a huge ape wearing the armor spandex and gi of the Prince launch a ki beam at Kakkarot. Kakkarot was lying on the ground, unable to get up. I assumed that the Prince was going to try and stop the younger Saiyan from completing the Spirit Bomb. I thrust myself in front of the ki blast. Ignoring the midget's cries to get out of there, I concentrated on the beam. I raised an arm and deflected it away. Then I got out of there as fast as my body could carry me.

I screamed at the fallen Kakkarot, "Fire the Spirit Bomb now!"

Too late I realized that at the angle that Kakkarot was at, his Bomb would never reach Vegeta and properly hit him in the face. It was then I did my job.

"Oh boy, here I go. Krillin," properly addressing the midget for the first time, "You fly over to that cliff near your friend. I'll go and distract the Prince long enough for you to acquire the Spirit Bomb from your friend and to fire it at Vegeta. It doesn't matter if it means I'll die in the passing, as long as you at least injure Vegeta enough that he doesn't blow up the Earth."

I flew off before the midget could protest. Placing myself behind the ape that was Vegeta, I turned my back on him and hurled a Masenko at the ki sphere that posed for the moon. I looked away quickly, knowing if I stared at it too long, I would become like Vegeta: a giant ape. After making sure my ki would overwhelm the sphere, I switched my attention to Vegeta. Steeling myself, I attacked.

GOKU

When Vegeta threw that ki blast at me, I was actually sure I was dead. But then a silhouette appeared against the light. At first, I thought it was Krillin. But then I sensed his ki on a mountain far away, and I was confused. Upon closer inspection, the profile in the light was not that of my best friend. For one thing, it had hair, and a tail to boot! I couldn't sense any ki from the guy either, which was really strange.

I stopped mulling when the little guy swept away the ki blast like it was a fly. I started in surprise, shifting my Bomb a little bit. But I immediately refocused on the task at hand when he yelled, "Fire the Spirit Bomb now!"

I was all ready to fire it, but then I realized that my Bomb would never hit Vegeta right, he was at too much of an angle. I was ready to do something I knew I would regret later, when Krillin appeared on the rock next to me.

Krillin yelled, "Hey Goku! The guy that appeared, he's going to distract Vegeta while you give me the Spirit Bomb so that I can throw it at Vegeta and end this fight!"

My face must have lit up. I flung the Bomb at Krillin, and screamed in pain as my broken legs moved. From my excellent view, I could inspect the unknown warrior better. He had black spiky hair, a green gi over a black undershirt on, a tail twitching in the air so like what my own tail had done. He wore a look of cocky concentration. No, not cocky, but a cover for another emotion, fear I would guess. As he turned from firing a ki blast in the air, I saw his features. My eyes widened at how similar his features were to my brother Raditz'. My mind flashed back to the picture of my dead son Gohan; he had had features relatively like Raditz' too.

I wondered Could this be Gohan, actually alive during those three years. He's grown a lot and he fights well too! Wow!

I watched the boy wait for Vegeta to go back to normal, then he attacked. I marveled to see him in action. He was lightning-quick in his punches, his kicks, and his dodges. I saw him look in Krillin's direction, and I saw my long time friend had my Spirit Bomb firmly in hand. The boy warrior gave Vegeta a final kick and ki blast, and then he vaulted off into the air. At that moment, Krillin shot the Bomb at Vegeta.

With a yell, Vegeta was blasted away by the Bomb. Krillin flew to my spot, celebrating in joy.

"We did it Goku! We defeated Vegeta! Whoopee!"

I looked for the unknown fighter, but he was gone. He had disappeared as quickly as he had come. I sighed, for I had wanted to thank him for helping us when we needed him.

I told Krillin, "Vegeta's still alive. He was badly injured by the Spirit Bomb, but he'll live."

Krillin started. "What!? Vegeta's still alive? Then why don't we do away with him while we can! I mean, the guy's a threat to Earth! He almost killed us all!"

I responded, "Krillin, he has a right to live just like you do! Now that he is injured, he can't kill anyone else! Who knows, maybe he'll stop his evil ways and do good from now on!" (Lame excuse I know, but it sounded like Goku!)

Krillin sighed and shook his head. "I don't know, Goku…"

The atmosphere resounded with the rumble of Vegeta's space pod as it rose in the air, no doubt bound for space and beyond.

KAKKHAN

I watched Prince Vegeta's space pod fly away with my emotions in turmoil. Being near the man I knew as Kakkarot who the midget Krillin called Goku, I had been assaulted by feelings I never thought I would feel. As soon as even a Saiyan's eyes could no longer see Vegeta's space pod, I set out from my hiding place to Janden's Warphole. I had flashed immediately after the Spirit Bomb had hit Vegeta in order to avoid any questions or any contact with the midget and Kakkarot. Finding the Warphole, I used my ki to lift me up and fly over to he destination. The Warphole was ready and waiting to be opened. Looking back out at the direction of the mismatched pair of fighters, I mentally saluted them. Opening the seal on the Warphole, I went home.

GOKU

After Vegeta's space pod disappeared from the air, Krillin hoisted me up and over his shoulder. He grunted, "Gosh Goku, you're heavy!"

I grinned through the pouring sweating pain of my legs being moved.

"Thanks Krillin. Eating Chi's food does tend to make you pack a few pounds."

A brief bark of laughter erupted from my friend. He lifted us into the sky and flew all the way to Bulma's house. There I met Chichi for the first time since my death at Raditz' hands.

Chichi probably would have hugged me if not for the bad condition I was in. Instead she contented herself with yelling.

I winced at her voice screeching at me. "GOKU, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?! I WAS ALL ALONE EXCEPT FOR BULMA AND WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME? DID YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW I WOULD FEEL, FIRST WITH GOHAN DEAD AND THEN YOU?!"

At that last sentence I said, "But Chi, our son may not be dead!"

My wife stopped her ranting and just stared at me. I exhaled in relief. I was actually sure my ears were about to start bleeding. Krillin stared at me too, a little puzzlement in his face, but with understanding drowning out the puzzlement. Bulma looked like she was trying to remember something, but couldn't quite catch it.

Chichi said, "Gohan? Not dead? You had better explain this to me, mister!" I winced again at Chichi reverting back to her usual self.

"Well, Chi, it's a long story, but we have time."

ON GIENDON

Kakkhan finished breaking the seal on the Warphole. He heard three-taloned footsteps behind him, along with a set of unfamiliar footsteps. He turned around to find Janden walking towards him. With him strode a seven-foot-tall green man wearing a purple gi, a white cape over it, and a white turban with a purple jewel set on the top of it. On his arms were patches of pink pads, which actually went well with his green skin. On each side of the turban, pointed ears rose like a ship's prow. The mouth drew back to reveal white fangs. The rest of the face was made of battle-hardened cheeks, a sturdy nose, and eyes that stared incessantly into one's mind.

The pair reached Kakkhan and stopped. Janden said, "Kakkhan, I would like you to meet a friend of mine. This is Piccolo, the Namekian I pointed out to you during the fight between the Saiyans two and a half-years ago. Piccolo," turning to the Namekian, "this is Kakkhan. He is the one you will work with over the next two years. Thank you for doing this favor for me, even if you did agree to it a bit grudgingly."

Piccolo answered, "But I did accept the offer to pay you back, and I'll do it." (I have no idea if this sounds like Piccolo or not.)

Janden nodded a little ruefully. Then he clapped his hands and mumbled something about having to meet someone for an important meeting and rushed off. He left a Namekian and a child Saiyan sizing each other up, searching for anything they could use against one another.

Finally Kakkhan said, "Well. Nice to meet you, Mr. Piccolo."

Piccolo smiled briefly. "Likewise. Let's get going." He motioned for Kakkhan to show the way to the fourth training G-dome.

Kakkhan led the way, thinking What a challenge it will be not only to fight a Namekian, but also to learn their techniques. If I know Janden, I'll also be learning a bit of the Namekian language, along with the languages I already know: Laniin, Human, Saiyago, Gorthan, and others: Raelin, Qwithi, and Iogoroth. Kakkhan grinned. I like what Life's given me so far.

A/n: My laptop is ready and waiting to be packed and shipped to the shop to be fixed, so I shouldn't be doing this kind of laptop exchange thingie for much longer. So hopefully these chapters will come quicker when my laptop comes back. 'Course, I do have chapter ten done. So nah! *grins evilly*

I will leave you now to your business.

SNEAK PREVIEW:

Journeying back to the current situation, everyone gasped as a huge spaceship landed out of nowhere. An opening, unnoticed until now, formed in the sheer black mass of the spaceship. It delved down into a ramp and revealed an even blacker mass of space inside. Kakkhan saw more in that space than anyone else, and immediately put up a ki shield. He did that none too soon. As soon as the walkway hit the ground, three enormous ki beams erupted out of the shadows.

~*~

Ooooo, I wonder what the sneak preview could mean. I know, you don't and it's time for you to review! LOL!

Again I leave you, my faithful readers, to agonize over the meaning of the sneak preview.

Tra la la! LOL again.
