Part 2


Omega Shin Long was surprised that this slip of a girl, who wore an outlandish hairstyle (called the "Dumpling-head" look) could easily have caught his fist.

Starfleet Captain Usagi Tsukino tilts her head slightly.

"I would have to ask you to behave yourself, while I assess the situation. I wouldn't be surprise if Vegeta had something do with it."

"HEY!" yelled the Saiyajin Prince.

Son Pan giggled. She has never seen anyone rattle Vegeta, except perhaps his wife Bulma.

Omega Shin Long steps back, and quickly delivered a follow-through punch…

SNAP! Hzzzzzz…

SLICE!

"ARGH!" yelled the monster, as he realized that he was missing an arm.

Usagi smirked, as she twirled her purple-colored lightsaber. It's rarely that she uses it since she could create a "psi-sword", which is like a lightsaber, except that it can be manifested with her mind. Still, it felt so GOOD to know that she hasn't lost her touch.

"That's an interesting device Usagi has," Bulma said, as quickly jotted notes on her electronic notebook.

"Yeah," Trunks replied to his mother. "Maybe Capsule Corp can market these."

"Now, didn't I tell you to behave yourself?" Usagi asked.

"You think that that little toy can stop me?" Omega Shin Long said with gritted teeth.

"No," Usagi replied nonchalantly. "Even as we speak, your cells are regenerating"

"Man, she is certainly taking a risk to be so brazen like that," Goten says.

"Naw," Gohan replied. "This is nothing to her."

Gohan remembered how he first recalled Usagi propensity in putting her friends' welfare before her own…

FLASHBACK!

Usagi Tsukino could not be accused of being a person who was willing to risk others for a dangerous situation. In fact, the former Starfleet officer was more than willing to sacrifice her life for the life of another. Point is, Usagi have died on numerous occasions for this belief. Still, whatever decision she does make is always a difficult one.

Like the one she is making now.

With the impending arrival of more Sayajin invaders, neither Usagi nor the rest of the so-called "Z-Warriors" were doing what they could to prepare themselves for their upcoming battle. Hopefully, Son Goku, Earth's best hope for survival, will complete his training long before the invaders arrive.

"You want to back out of the plan?" Bulma asked, as she looked up from her microscope. Both she and Usagi were working on perfecting the booster serum.

"Maybe," Usagi said, as she thumbed one of the serum's vials. "All the test results have been positive, but the unknown variables that have been found could react to the test subject's physiology."

"In other words," Bulma began, "the serum won't react without a live subject."

"Yeah, that's about it."

"Hey, guys," Krillan said, as he walks into the Bulma's lab. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes," Usagi said. "Since you are the only one willing to take the serum, I just wanted to remind you of the possible side-effects."

"Well, I can trust you. We go back a long way, right Usa-chan?"

"I hope you're right. However, you won't be the only one taking the booster serum."

"Yamcha changed his mind?"

"No. Actually, I will be taking the serum."

"YOU? But…didn't you say that the serum may have side-effects?"

"Usagi was correct," Bulma said. "But Usagi feels that she can't risk your well-being is she can't take that risk."

"If you say so," Krillan said. "So, when do we begin?"

"Right now," Usagi said, as she took off her lab coat. "If the serum is to have any effect, in time for the Sayajins' arrival, we got to get started. Bulma, get the syringes."

A few days later, Bulma's mother is cooling off the forehead of her friend Usagi. She's been suffering from a fever for sometime now.

"Poor, thing," said Mrs. Briefs. "I hope you and the others are going to be fine soon."

A day later, Usagi is well enough to get out of bed. She wheels herself in her wheelchair to Bulma's quarters.

"Hey, Bulma," Usagi said, as she wheels herself into Bulma's quarters. "How's it going?"

"How do you think!" Bulma said with annoyance. Presently, she was on her stomach while on her bed. "How would you feel if you're growing a tail?"

While administering the serum to Usagi and Krillan, Bulma accidentally pricked herself with one of the needles she was using. There was no way she should have had such an extreme mutation, especially in light of the way the mutation occurred. So far, neither Usagi nor Krillan were developing Sayajin secondary traits in the manner that Bulma did.

"I'm sorry about that, Bulma. We could develop an anti-serum as soon as you're well enough."

"Well, you and I both know that we don't have time, since both you and Krillan has to train as soon as possible. Besides, I can always have it removed as soon as the tail stabilizes its growth."

"If you say so," Usagi said. "I'm going down to the gym, and do some stretches. Call me if you want anything."

"I already TOLD you what I want."

"Humph."

It would be a few weeks before Krillan and Usagi could train, having gotten used to their new physiology. Bulma had yet to remove her tail, since she found herself feeling quite exotic with it. Finally, after a month of constant training, the Z Warriors received word that Goku had completed his training. So, once all the Dragonballs were collected, Goku returned to the land of the living.

"GOKU!" yelled Usagi, as she hugged her adopted son.

"Usagi!" Goku said likewise.

"Daddy!" Gohan said, as he ran to his father. For a few months, Piccolo was training the boy, mostly by toughening him up.

"Goku, how's it going?" asked Krillan.

"Yeah, we certainly miss you," said Yamcha.

"Well, I miss you, too," Goku replied. Then he turned to see a smiling Piccolo. "Piccolo."

"Goku," Piccolo replied, in his usual smug self.

"You know, Chi-Chi is looking forward to seeing you," Usagi replied.

"That's good, 'cuz I'm starved!"

"That's Goku alright," Tien commented.

Another few months go by. During that time, the Sayajin known as Turlus invades Earth, using his henchmen and a life-sucking plant known as "The Doom Tree" to do his bidden. While Goku dealt with Turlus, Usagi reconfigured the Doom Tree into the Tree of Life. It's seeds and fruit would have amazing healing and energy properties. Unfortunately, the Z Warriors were mistaken when they thought that Turlus was the Sayajin warrior to worry about, or that they did not know the REAL threat to them. In all things, especially when dealing with universal threats, there is always three "signs" to worry about…three signs that will lead to the mother of all trouble. The first was Radditz, Goku's brother. The second was Turlus. And the third was…

"I am VEGETA, the Prince of all the Sayajins. Hand over the Dragonballs…or die!" said an ill tempered man with a Napoleonic complex. Even his hair had an attitude.

"Aw Vegeta," said his larger, balder companion. "Let's just have some fun first!"

"Hmm. Good idea. Nappa?"

From one of his pockets, the one called Nappa threw some rather interesting looking seeds.

"Usagi, what's going on?" asked Goku, as he stood pensive. He hoped that Bulma and Usagi's secondary plan would work out.

"Just a second," Usagi said, as she used her Tricorder to examine the "seeds".

"Aw, these things don't look like a threat," said Yamcha, as he picked up one of the seeds. "What possible harm could they do-?"

"Idiot!" Usagi yelled. "Krillan, knock that seed away from-"

SPLORG!

"Gah!" said Yamcha, as the seed he was holding suddenly grew in size and shape, as did the rest of the seeds. Each one slowly formed into a green humanoid with VERY bad skin.

"Heh," Vegeta smirked. "Have fun with my pets. Impress me, and I might give you a quick death.

"Guys, split up and take these things out!" Goku commanded.

"Right!" said the rest of the Z Warriors.

"Usagi, Piccolo- deal with the one called Nappa while I take on Vegeta."

"It's about time," said the Namek. He knew that he was more than confidant to take on a Sayajin with on his side.

"Wow, a handicap match," Usagi said, as she put away her equipment. "Hey, Nappa! Let's party!"

"Sure thing, little girl," Nappa said, as he licked his lips. "Once we crush this planet, you'll be mine."

"Whatever. Let's rumble, babe."

And so the fight of the century begins…again.

Meanwhile, Bulma and the wannabe warrior Yajirobe are searching for the dormant Dragonballs.

"Why are we looking for the Dragonballs anyway?" Yajirobe whined. "I thought that the it would be another nine months before they are active again."

"That's true, but we are going to see if we can speed up the process," Bulma replied, as she piloted her aircraft. Using a combination of science, technology and magic (called "techno magic"…an Art form that Usagi, and later taught to Bulma, learned from one of her trips into the Rifts), Bulma and Usagi hoped to activate the dormant balls early vis-à-vis temporal applications. There was no way of knowing what could happen if the balls are active prematurely, but it was a risk that the scientific duo was willing to take.

"So? Why should I have to come along?"

"Because I need help in retrieving them, jerk!" Bulma yelled.

"Humph! Well, at least I don't have a tail! HA!"

POW!

"Ow…"

Meanwhile, the fight between the Sayajin invaders and the Z Warriors continued. Gohan wanted to help his father out, but was instructed to help Krillan (who was holding his own, due to the booster serum), Yamcha, Tien, and Chaozu. Unfortunately, they were unprepared for what happens next…

BOOM!

Yamcha, who was valiantly fighting off one of the "Saiba-men", died when it suddenly self-destructed.

"YAMCHA!" yelled Krillan. Suddenly, the sight of the death of his old friend raised his anger…and that anger raised his power levels considerably. With righteous fury, Krillan began to wade into the rest of Saiba-men.

"Man, I wouldn't want to get on Krillan's bad side," Tien commented, unfortunately, in his distraction, a stray energy blast from Nappa engulfed him, killing him instantly.

"Tien!" Chaozu cried, as he ran towards his companion. As he ran towards where Tien once stood, one of the remaining Saiba-men latched onto Tien. Gohan, who was helping Krillan, saw this…

"Tien, look out!"

But it was too late…

BOOM!

Meanwhile, the battle between the Usagi/Piccolo duo and Nappa continued. Nappa was by far stronger and faster than either Usagi or Piccolo. However, the training that Piccolo and Usagi went through was paying off. What was lost in power was made up in skill.

Though barely.

BLAM! BLAM! POW! SMACK!

Nappa's four-hit combo tore through Piccolo's defenses, leaving him at Nappa's mercy.

"Say good-bye, friend," Nappa said, as he was about to blast Piccolo.

"Oh, no you DON'T!" Usagi said, as she tackled Nappa. However, Nappa, with the physical traits of a linebacker, was merely amused.

"Let me GO!" Usagi said, as she tried to wiggle within herself free of Nappa's embrace.

"Let's have a little fun, little girl," Nappa said evilly.

I better go to plan "B", Usagi said. "Hey, Nappa-chan?"

"What?"

"You shouldn't get me angry. In fact, you wouldn't LIKE me when I'm angry…"

"Oh, don't worry, babe. I LIKE it rough."

"Heh. You have NO idea…" Usagi said, as her eyes suddenly began to glow green.

"What the-?"

Usagi, though she had control over her gamma-radiated transformation, loath to use its one advantage. She could use a telepathic blast or other mental or magical attack on Nappa, but there was something primal and sensual about simply beating the stuff out of one's opponent. Maybe Usagi should have used her assassin skills from the start, but she wanted to face death in the open with honor.

As soon as Usagi's eyes glowed, she began to increase her mass and size. Her muscles began to become more apparent, as her skin and hair color began to change to the color green (light green for skin color, dark green for hair color). All this was a result of an adventure in the trans-dimensional realm known as "the Rifts", where she was used as part of a project involving gamma radiation. Now, whenever she is angry, Usagi can become a green-skinned Amazon.

"Usagi SMASH!" Usagi said, as she broke free from Nappa's embrace. Inwardly, she chuckled at her usage of her lexicon. Thanks to years of practice, she kept her normal range of intelligence, but she sometimes like to play the role of the barbarian.

"What manner of creature are YOU!" Nappa said, as he tried to fend off the blows. While the so-called "Usagi-Hulk" was barely faster than Nappa, she was a lot stronger than the Sayajin.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

"ARRRRGH!"

"You say you like rough? Me like rough, too!" Usagi-Hulk said, as she used her legs to scissor Nappa's waist…

CRACK!

Nappa, as he crawled towards Vegeta, who was still in the middle of the fight with Goku, begged for Vegeta's help.

"Help me, Vegeta…"

"Humph! Useless!"

ZAP!

Vegeta used one of his energy attacks to atomize his companion.

"No!" Usagi-Hulk said in horror. She was hoping that Nappa could be put in the position where he could later reform.

"How could you do that to your friend?" Goku demanded.

"A Sayajin lives and dies in battle, you should know that Kakkarot!"

"My name is Goku, and you will be stopped!"

"I don't think so," Vegeta said, as he took a spheroid. "Let's see how you deal with a TRUE Sayajin."

Once Vegeta threw the sphere into the air, it exploded into an artificial moon. "Soon, you will face the wraith of Ooruzu Vegeta!"

"Oh, no…" Usagi-Hulk said. Already, she could feel the effects that the "moon" was creating.

It happened when the Z Warriors faced Turlus. When the Sayajin created an artificial moon, not only was Gohan affected, but Bulma, Krillan and Usagi were affected by it as well. Both Gohan and (to her embarrassment) Bulma went Oozaru, which was the giant monkey form of the Sayajins, while Krillan and Usagi became increasingly aggressive. It took weeks to get over that experience, and it took another few weeks to come up with a remedy. Relying on her Bene Gesserit training, as well as from many other sources, Usagi fought to control her base natural, and shared the results to others (Bulma had her tail removed, but it had long since regenerated).

"Usagi-?" Krillan asked with worry.

"Just…stay calm," Usagi said, as she felt her anger rising. She knew that if she looses control over her emotions, she would Hulk-out even more…and loose her intellect in the process. So, just in case, she reverted back to NORMAL.

"There 's only ONE monkey to deal with, right Gohan?"

"Right!" Gohan replied, as he puts on a special pair of goggles that Bulma made for herself and Gohan.

"I'll take care of Piccolo, you two help Goku deal with Vegeta."

"Right!"

"You win this one, Kakkarot, but there are other Dragonballs out there," Vegeta said, as he limped into his space pod. Shortly there after, Vegeta left Earth.

"How could you let him go, Goku?" asked Krillan.

"Because we defeated him," Goku replied. "OW!"

"Hold still, Go-chan," Usagi said, as she applied her healing techniques. The remaining Z Warriors were able to work as a team to stop Ooruzu Vegeta in his tracks…and it did help that Goku used his Kaioken technique to increase his power by a factor of ten (Usagi's training method allowed Goku to do so rapidly and safely). "I mean, honestly, you forget what I have taught you?"

"I know, I know. 'Fight smarter, not harder.' Sheesh! I don't need to be babied, you know."

"Well, I go the Dragonballs," Bulma said, as she and Yajirobe came into the picture. "I guess we really don't need them, now."

"So I went through heck for nothing!" said Yajirobe, as he lamented over the fact that he was filthy.

"Hey, at least you're getting some exercise!"

"Guys, we need to make sure that Vegeta doesn't get his hands on the Namekian Dragonballs," Piccolo said. And then he told the group that how the Nameks created the Dragonballs, and where to find them.

"So, we get these balls, and raise our friends back from the dead?" asked Goku.

"Sure, why not?"

"Usagi, what can we do?" asked Goku.

"We store away our dormant Dragonballs away for now. If we need to, we can activate them if we need to. Besides, I don't know what will happen if Shen Long gets called early."

"You're right, Usagi," Krillan said. "I wouldn't want to face an upset dragon."

"Me neither," Gohan said.

"So, how are we going to get there?" asked Goku.

A little while later, at the Capsule Corporation…

"Oh, do you have to take him?" asked Mrs. Briefs. "He's kinda cute to be around with."

"Thumper has to come," Usagi said, who was glad to be back to normal. "But don't worry, he'll be back shortly. Come, Thumper!"

"Yi-OW!" the cabbit said happily.

With the preparations made, Goku, Usagi, Bulma, Krillan, Gohan (who used the "I can learn about space while on the road" excuse), and Piccolo boarded Thumper and took off for Namek. Thumper was able to reconfigure the ship's environment for the purpose of training, so that when the Z Warriors run into Vegeta next time, they will be more that ready. Unknown to the group, they were about to meet the real threat…and his name was FRIEZA.

Tbc.
