In the light of the full moon they fought, the humans falling faster than they expected. Their bullets having no affect on the Sayains as they just rebounded off their skin and the missile explosions not even shaking the newest of their warriors. But still the humans refused to fall back; they remained in their positions and fought till they fell.

He had been fighting for weeks, he was tired, hungry and homesick, and he missed Chichi so much. No word had come from his father in days and he and Radittz had begun to worry about his wellbeing. The battled had been frequent and long, surprisingly five men had been sent back to the city from injuries, one being very bad.

And that was what confused him, each group of humans they met got better and better at combat, their weapons became more advanced and thief damage more and worse. In the wars earlier battles the army had needed nothing but their hands to knock an enemy down, at times in their present battles they needed everything they knew, energy beams, mind powers, super strength and he feared eventually weapons.

In the darkness he could see, an advantage the humans didn't have usually but someone had provided night vision goggles. Speed was adapted with machines, protection was provided with better armour and anyone could have figured out that whoever was at the top of the humans power knew what he was doing and had been planning for sometime.

Growling he readied the energy in his palms, the glowing ball of light and heat unstable with electricity as he had it hover steadily around his head and searched for his target. To his left entered a large tank, its gun long and ready to fire at any warrior who let himself slip. Its tip aimed for his brother and a small group of soldiers and all had their backs turned, too deep into battle to sense the attack.

Quickly Kakarott fired the ball at the tank, engulfing it all so nothing more but a bright light could be seen. Soon after bullet after bullet was flung at him, their tips sharper and more focused than the last, their tips feeling like needles against his skin and doing some but very little damage. Angry he flew at them, his hands and feet pounding the men that shot at him and their armour cracking instantly under his strength.

When all were down he gasped I shock, eyes wide and unbelieving as the tank he had blasted began moving again, not a scratch upon its plated metal. No explosion or fire, it just carried on going and once again right for his brother only this time they were fully aware of its presence.

The men around him lay about tired, their exhaustion obvious as they lay sleeping deeply on the floor. No one but he and Radditz able to stay awake and watch them as they slept. The battle had been hard and confusing, it seemed that even though a human soldier was aided with better armour they could still break it, no matter what new gun or bullet he was aided with a Sayain could handle it but it was obvious that it was Sayain technology being used.

Their armour was made of a metal much like the artificially made ones of their armours. The weapons a contrast of human and Sayain technology which said to him either they had spies or someone had betrayed them. The other thing was the tanks and machinery, their blasts would do nothing to them and in the end a few soldiers were forced to go Oozaru on them, he hated Oozaru forms, especially non-elite forms. They couldn't be controlled easily and so sometimes the plans of using them backfire but tonight, luckily they hadn't.

With these thoughts his eyes became heavy, the midnight sky fading as he fell into a needed sleep.

Radditz watched his younger brother sleeping, a few other men had awoken now and so it was god that they both get some sleep. It amazed him so much how like father his younger brother was. His looks and actions were all like his Fathers, before he slept just then he could see the young ones mind focusing on the days events and analysing them, looking at the pros and cons, their results and trying to find a conclusion. It was all science with him, just like Bardock.

These battles had been harsh and he feared constantly for his sibling. He wasn't sure if it was the instinct of being his elder brother or the threats him mother gave if he failed to keep his younger safe. But either way during that battle he always found himself turning around and checking on him, glad to see that his brother did the same for him. In accordance with his mother he had to agree that Kakarott was a little too young and inexperienced to be fighting just yet, well fighting in one of the higher regiments.

But if anyone had seen him fight, they would have been proud. He was a strong and stubborn warrior, who did everything in his power to succeed in his missions and his mind only upon fighting once he started and his body craving for more when he finished. As un-Sayain as the boy could be sometimes it was no apparent that his younger brother had everything under control.

Kakarott's eyes opened suddenly to the early morning mist, his body tense and ready to fight as his senses went hay wire. There was a strange sent in the air and his ears could pick up the screeching sound of wheels on a track heading towards them. Everyone else slept on, three or four up on guard who also looked in the direction of the trespasser.

"Sir, Should we go check it out?" The elder men looked at him unsure of whether asking a child was really the best idea.

"No, you stay put and guard. I'll send the signal if I need help." As he stood he began to dust of his already filthy armour.

"You can't go alone Sir. Your brother for one wouldn't allow it and it is best you are accompanied just in case." Kakarott sighed, he forgot about Radditz and his rules.

"Fine! You soldier come with me." Kakarott watched the man jog over, amazed as to how much taller he was. Nodding both ran stealthily into the darkness of the forest.

The path was wet with morning dew, their scents hidden by the pollen of surrounding flowers and their armour a good camouflage in the dark forest. Down the track came a huge tank, three times bigger than the ones they usually fought and with no full moon probably three times as hard to destroy. Around it were only four men, walking at a quick pace with its chugging wheels.

Unexpectedly it stopped, the gun on the tank pointing straight towards them and their speed almost not enough as the shell just missed their fleeing bodies.

"How in hell does it know we were there!" Kakarott screamed at his companion as they both ran towards their attacker. Bullets and shells exploding around them but neither flinched. Blast after blast was thrown from their hands onto the tank, single and combined, neither worked and the tank just rolled on. Turning to ensure his comrade was in no serious trouble he watched him dive to the floor, his own back screaming in pain as he felt the blood fall onto his skin.

Stumbling on he tried to fight, his hands coming to just send a message for immediate help as his world fell into darkness, the pain of his back overwhelming his whole body as he fell to the floor, struggling to breath, the last thing in his mind a fear that it would stop.

His scouter constantly bleeped as he ran through the forest, his men not far behind him as he worried for his brother. Stopping as he beheld the forest that now lay in ruins, trees burnt down and knocked over, holes in the road form large explosions and small pieces of metal scattered around the floor. Scanning with his eyes he found nothing, he could see nothing and no one.

"Sir we found one!" A large booming voice echoed through the forest as Radditz ran over.

On the floor lay the older man, his armour cracked only up the middle of his back. A long crack made from the armour naturally breaking. In the centre was a small pinprick hole, obviously the cause of the crack and his back was sufficiently covered in blood. The man was awake as the medic saw to him, he was worn out. Walking around a small distance he began to worry, Kakarott was no where to be seen. He wouldn't have run off after what ever attacked them would he? Storming back Radditz rudely pushed the other men out of his way, leaning over the now semi-conscious and wounded warrior.

"What happened and where is my brother?" His voice was stern and shaken as he shouted for the forest to hear.

"We were hiding Sir. In the trees over there but somehow it knew we were there. We tried to fight but it was too good, some kind of large tank and four men. The men were easy to handle but with the tank there it wasn't as easy as thought but we tried Sir. A bullet almost hit me and I dived to the floor, when I next looked up your brother was stumbling around in pain, blood all over the back of his armour. I never saw so much pain on a man's face Sir. He fell onto the floor just next to me by about a metre or so, when I next looked he wasn't breathing well, practically stopping. I tried to go to him Sir but he wouldn't respond to my calls then the enemy was aware that I wasn't down as they thought I was and attacked again. Next thing I know I'm in agonising pain down in my lower back and it spread then all went black."

Turning around Radditz angrily eyes the floor beside the fallen warrior; blood was all that remained of his brother, a small piece of his armour sitting just in the middle of the pool.

"You say he wasn't breathing?"

"I don't think he was Sir and his life energy was extremely low. I'm sorry Sir" All soldiers cowered as Radditz screamed, the trees around them falling under the force of the attacks Radditz threw.

"MESSENGER!" A small fast little man came forward. "From what I hear and see the chance of my brother being alive is very small. Go to my Mother and his mate back at the mansion and inform them of the events. Inform them of his death and ensure them both that I will see to the avenging. Go quickly and comfort them, my father is not there. Make sure my Father gets the message to." The small man nodded and ran quickly in the direction they had just come.

"A silence for Kakarott! Not only do we fight for our kingdom but now we fight for him, those that took my brother from us will pay and pay dearly. I want no mercy from any of you from now on. They will die for their insolence and they will die slowly."

The soldiers around him bowed their heads to the floor, all unable to believe a Sayain had fallen. Radditz watched the floor where the blood lay, whoever it was leading the humans they were a clever man, with this new technology he had managed to kill a high class Sayain and this was a threat but not only that it meant this had been wanted for a long time.
