I don't own DBZ or any of its characters

Yamcha had followed been following Tien for quite a while not, mostly because they were limited to moving at slower speed do to the fact that they could be picked up on some long range saiyan scouter. As they traveled across the desert, Tien in the lead followed by the ex bandit, Yamcha began to wonder what this base that Tien talked about would really look like. He also felt more anger in him at that moment then at anytime in his life, he wanted to find a way to kill any saiyan that he ran across, and if that meant lots of training, that was fine with him. What ever it took to avenge his lost love was well worth it in his reasoning.

Tien looked back at his friend, and knew right away what he was thinking, the hate that he felt as also more then likely in his friend as well. Saiyan's to him were a violent and primitive society that had ever been on any planet, and all of those that followed there ways desired the most painful death's possible for what they had done to the earth. How they saw themselves as superior to the humans in all ways, when the fact was he was stronger then most of the saiyan warriors, and many other of the freedom fighters were also stronger then the saiyans, that this idea that the saiyans were built for war, and the humans were not was a total lie, made up by the saiyans, to keep control of the humans.

The two warriors both deep in thought, eventually approached a large mountain in literally the middle of no where. It was a huge mountain that was at least 7.500 feet tall, and the base was about a mile around. Tien lead Yamcha to one right up to a sheer cliff walk and stopped.

"Your kidding right, the base is at the top of the mountain correct," Yamcha said as he looked up.

"Nope it is not up there," he said as he walked into the cliff disappearing form Yamcha sight.

Yamcha stood there for a second unsure if what he saw was true or not, it had to be, the then slowly walked towards the cliff, and when he past though the apparent rock wall he found that he was in a small town. The area of the cave looked like it had been carved out by hand, all the buildings, and infrastructure was made of rock. The town had a rock dome surrounding it, and it seemed that it was sunk into the ground a good ways, over all it was a heck of a sight to behold. He shook his head wonder how anyone could ever built something like that or make the barrier that he had just walked though, and how that barrier kept people out.

Tien turned to see his old friend staring, and smiled, he had grown used to the wonder that was Alpha Base, but he could easily see how to a outsider it would be a great marvel, proof that the was not inferior to that of the saiyan.

"Hey, lets get moving, I am sure everyone is wanting to meet you," Tien yelled to the awe struck man.

Yamcha blinded, and replied, "Um, oh right, well lead the way."

Tien lead Yamcha down a small embankment to a street that ran though the town, to a large building at the far end of the town. When they arrived they saw that the building was taller then any other in the large cave, it was about 4 floors tall, and had a Greek style to it. In front of the building were four people waiting for them, he knew all four of them, two of them as former enemies, and two as former friends. On the right was Chiaotzu, Tien's friends, former emperor, and member of the Earth Special Forces, and next to him was Krillin, an small man just taller then Chiatzu, he was his best friend growing up, and Yamcha had always hope that he had found a way to surive the battle. Next to him though were two people that he did not like very much, one was Tao, a tall man who he had many battles with over time, and also Gero, the man who build the forces of the Red Ribbon army. Now thought they had to work together or they just would not stay a chance.

When Krillin saw his oldest friend, he broke down, and started to cry, he always figured that his friend had died at the start when he disappeared, so to find him again meant a lot to the small warrior.

"Wow you don't know how great it is to see, you, man," Krillin said with a happy look on his face.

"Yeah sure nice to see you two as well, um Gero I guessing that you build this place correct," Yamcha said looking at the great scientist.

"Yeah, I did, it is a wonder what one can do with a little nano-tech, well Tien, and Tao here talked me into joining, I agree we must stand together or well will fall together, after this war we can come to terms with are own difference," Gero said in a very diplomatic voice.

"And you Tao, I never figure you would be one to help us," Yamcha asked.

"Well, Tien made a very good argument, and I have my own reasons, the saiyans did kill my brother, I will have vengeance on them, anyway Tien, we need to head to West City to get some supplies, Krillin, and I were waiting on you to go, Yamcha you can come as well," Tao said in a serious tone.

'Yes, Dr. Floppe, and I have found a report that saying that West City, may have something we need for our project," Gero said with a equally serious tone.

"Fine sure, Yamcha you coming with us," Tien said looking at his friend.

"Of course, this is a chance for some pay back, lets get going," Yamcha said to his friend.
