A wave of bright light consumed the land. Once it reached its peak, it triggered a powerful explosion. Everything was blown to the sky, including the warriors who tried to defend themselves from the invaders. They stood no chance against the mighty Nappa who enjoyed his work. The colossal Saiyan wore a prideful smirk on his face as the light reflected in his dark eyes. His pupils stirred to the side as the scouter alerted him of an incoming threat. He shifted his muscular body and dashed at his prey.

"C'mon! Can't you guys do better than this!?"

The warrior crashed his heavy fist against the opponent's skull, sending the poor man straight to the ground. Wasting no time, Nappa proceeded to engage the remaining fighters who tried their best to defeat the Saiyan. However, it was all in vain. Nappa was too much for them. The elite warrior dealt with the enemy troops without breaking a sweat.

Meanwhile, far in the back, the Saiyan prince didn't even bother with it. Since the opponents were weak, he deemed unnecessary to dirty his hands. With his arms crossed, the flame-haired warrior simply observed his companion's one-sided slaughter. While he watched the massacre, it seemed like his focus was somewhere else. Quite some time passed since he heard anything from Raditz or Kakarot. He was slowly losing his patience with them. The short man wasn't even sure why he didn't kill both of them already. They were a nuisance.

He knew letting Raditz go and search for his younger brother was a mistake. There was no benefit of having another weakling in the group. Raditz was a nuisance for years. For quite some time he thought of getting rid of the long-haired subornative, but he decided to let the tall warrior live because he didn't want Zarbon or Freeza to make fun of his capabilities as a leader.

His thoughts came abruptly to an end when a foolish group of five warriors suddenly dropped from the night's sky. He immediately scanned the weird-looking people in front of him, only to sigh in disappointment. They yelled at him, demanded some answers but he didn't bother with it at all. Irritated by his behavior, the warriors attacked him.

Vegeta didn't budge from his spot, he merely lifted his head. Before the fist could reach him, Vegeta swiftly raised his leg and buried it deep into the man's gut. The fighter didn't even drop to the ground when Vegeta struck the other one with a heavy knee. He uncrossed his arms and pointed a hand at the approaching warriors. The Saiyan fired a ki blast at the two, they stood no chance against it. He moved his black orbs toward the only remaining warrior who trembled in fear.

Finally, the short prince took a step forward, causing the warrior to flinch. "Hmph, what a pathetic group of weaklings. And you people consider yourself warriors?" He couldn't hold back the chuckle as he closed the distance.

"Listen, I can be quite generous. If you tell me where's the treasure, I'll end your life swiftly."

The warrior's yellow face was drenched in sweat as he stared at Vegeta with wide-open eyes. "I-I, don't know what you're..." His stammering voice was abruptly shut down when an energy beam pierced his left shoulder.

While the warrior cried, the prince simply pointed his index finger elsewhere. "Oh, so you'd chose a more painful and prolonged death... Fine by me!" Vegeta's face darkened as his voice lowered down.

The flickering light around Vegeta's finger revealed his wicked expression to the soldier. His face was pale, it was as he stared death right in the eyes. "W-Wait! I-I beg you, don't kill me! I'll lead you, I'll do a-anything you want! J-Just, please, let me live!" Tears rolled over the man's cheeks, terrified by the flame-haired man's presence.

A few seconds later, the light died out. The Saiyan prince was pleased. "Good choice! Now, lead the way. I've been stuck on this wretched planet for far too long!" Vegeta's smirk quickly disappeared as he turned around. They were on this planet for two days already, searching for some treasure Freeza was interested in. Whatever it was, it better be worth it.

.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Kakarot and his son Gohan were fighting for their lives. The two warriors were surrounded by enemy troops. Both of them breathed heavily, their legs were shaking and barely supported them. The high gravity was their enemy as well. Kakarot's body was marked with bruises and trails of blood. His eyes were barely open as he glared at the enemy around him and Gohan. He hated this feeling, it brought out the memories of his past. The wild-haired warrior shook his head, in an attempt to focus and think of a way to get out of here.

He didn't want to admit, but they were too much for him. Maybe if the gravity wasn't in the way, no, even without the gravity he wouldn't be able to take them all out. He wasn't strong enough, not yet. There was only one option for him and his son, retreat. However, they were surrounded by at least fifteen soldiers. The Saiyan released an irritated growl. Just when he needed Raditz, the man wasn't here. He made a mental note to punch the long-haired warrior in the face once they were out of here.

"There's only two of them! This's our chance to take them down! Go!"

The loud voice snapped Kakarot out of his thoughts. He glanced around and saw the soldiers on the attack. There was only one thing to do. "Gohan! Get on my back, now!" His scream forced the boy to do what he was told. The added weight, however, almost pushed Kakarot on the ground. He was struggling, but the prideful warrior didn't give in.

With clenched teeth, Kakarot mustered all of his strength and leaped into the air. "Close your eyes, son!" It was tough to stay in the air, but the Saiyan was too stubborn to be brought down like that. As the soldiers closed in, Kakarot barely managed to place both hands near his face. "Solar Flare!" Suddenly, the entire area was engulfed by bright light.

"Argh, what's happening!?"

"My eyes!"

While the soldiers were blinded, Kakarot dropped on the ground and ran as fast as he could. He had a minute at best to put some distance and hide. The problem was that there was no forest or caves to hide. The entire planet was an endless rocky wasteland. At one point the Saiyan almost fell, but he pushed himself up with a roar. He glanced behind, there was no sign of the enemy. However, they were still in the open and easy to find. Surprisingly enough, Kakarot stopped.

He kneeled and placed a hand on the ground. With a heavy grunt, he sent a strong shockwave through the soil. Only a few seconds later, the ground around him collapsed. Both he and his son fell inside. The rocks buried the two underground.

.

A few hours later and on the opposite side, Vegeta and Nappa finally found what they were looking for. Vegeta's eyes were glued on a chest that was guarded by the countless soldiers. He didn't know neither did he care what was inside, the only thing he cared about was to leave this place. It was a major disappointment from the start. He hoped he would find a challenge, but nothing. All those stories about formidable warriors of planet Zoon was nothing but a lie. He stirred his eyes away from the chest and glanced at the soldier who brought them here.

"I-I did what you wanted. Can I go now?"

The soldier didn't even have a chance to turn around when a ki blast pierced his gut. "Hmph, what a fool." Was Nappa's comment as he chuckled at the poor warrior who dropped lifeless on the ground.

As the smoke soared from Vegeta's hand, the Saiyan prince frowned as he looked at all the shocked soldiers around the chest. "Now, let's get this over with. Nappa!" He lowered his hand as he called the huge warrior forward.

Nappa, of course, knew what he had to do. "Hehe, you poor bastards are over your heads! At least try to put up a decent fight!" The bald Saiyan cracked his knuckles as he slowly approached the horde of soldiers.

"Don't get over your head. Remember what we came here for. Don't destroy the chest!"

The huge warrior responded with a nod. He almost forgot about that box. The last thing he needed was to get chewed by Freeza and potentially punished or maybe even killed. Despite that, the sinister smirk never disappeared from his rough face. His dark, murderous orbs fixated on the soldiers who shivered in fear. Before they could even take a step back, Nappa suddenly dashed forward.

Everyone blinked in confusion. The enemy who stood there vanished into thin air. They looked around, confused until a scream drew their attention. As they glanced at the place where the chest was put, their eyes were wide open when they saw the colossal Saiyan there. The enemy was right there, in the center and yet, nobody noticed him until now. While most were shocked, terrified by such a display of strength, some engaged the enemy.

Nappa simply continued to grin when he saw a wave of soldiers coming at him. He swung his right arm and triggered an explosion. The man took a heavy step forward, breaking the ground under his boot. His body sunk a little as he summoned his power. Yellow glow surrounded his enormous frame while his already muscular arms grew in size. Throbbing veins appeared on his face, arms and legs as he laughed. Once he reached his peak, Nappa bent forward and launched himself at the army.

He struck like a lightning. Several soldiers were blown away by his speed alone. The force behind his power was unreal. There was a trail of destruction on the ground as he moved forward. His solid, heavy punch landed into someone's gut. The power behind it sent the man and the soldiers who found themselves there flying for several meters. Nappa quickly turned around, avoiding countless punches and kicks. Despite his huge figure, the Saiyan moved fast through the soldier's hive.

As he rushed through the soldiers like a hurricane, the Saiyan suddenly halted. He took a step back and dodged a ki blast. Only for a moment did his smirk disappear. He wanted to resume the slaughter when he noticed a shadow from above. Acting quickly, he simply stepped to the side and crashed his knee into the man's rib-cage. He seized the poor man by the arm and spun. Shortly after, he released the man from his grasp and fired a ki blast.

The huge energy blast devoured a lot of people and caused an enormous explosion in the distance. "Isn't there even a decent warrior on this miserable rock!? It's so dull..." Before Nappa could finish, the scouter came to life. He shifted his head to the side, but too late. A white boot struck him in the head, thus sending Nappa flying.

Before he was about to crash against the rocky ground, Nappa put a hand down and catapulted himself into the sky. "Heh, what's this? A fish-face who can fight? Don't die on me after only one punch!" The Saiyan flew back in, targeting the greyish soldier who managed to land a blow.

"Don't just stand there! Take out the shorter guy! He can't be stronger than this one!"

Nappa was able to hear that which is why he was smirking. He flew straight into the warrior and missed the target. A sense of excitement began to overflow through his body as he glared at the grey warrior. When he landed, the ground broke and trembled under his weight and power. While surrounded by a yellow glow, Nappa attacked the warrior. Surprisingly enough, the warrior managed to dodge some of Nappa's punches, but not for long.

The warrior thought he could take out the invader, but it was foolish. He never encountered someone so powerful. There were cases when people would crash-land on their world, but all of them struggled because of the harsh gravity. However, these guys seemed unfazed by it. Just who were they and where did they come from? He snapped out of it once he realized he dropped his guard, only for a short second. Luckily, he managed to duck down and avoid the kick, however, by the time he looked up his eyes could only quiver and stare at the incoming fist.

While Nappa was fighting, Vegeta approached the chest. Any soldier that stood in his path was killed. The Saiyan prince didn't even bother to touch them, he blasted all who crossed his path into oblivion. He was only five meters from the chest when he stopped. The flame-haired warrior glanced down and saw white fingers curl around his ankles. He remained unfazed when a green-skinned soldier emerged from the ground.

"Bahah, you can't move anywhere now! You're wide open! Guys, take this shorty out!"

Vegeta stirred his black spheres left and right. He was surrounded by the enemy who charged their attacks. For a moment, he closed his eyes and looked down. "Oh, I can't move? Well, let's see what's going to happen, shall we!" The super-elite brought both hands close to his chest and remained like that.

He waited with a serious expression on his face. Vegeta decided to play their game, only this time. Finally, after several minutes the soldiers fired from all angles at him. The beams were heading right at him, but the Saiyan prince didn't move until it was time. Suddenly, he spread his arms and unleashed a powerful force in the process. The shockwave crushed the soldier who was holding his ankles and the ki blasts were swallowed by the following light.

While the soldiers tried to hold their ground, a shadow emerged from the light. It moved around with ridiculous speed. Nobody could tell what was going on, only lifeless bodies were left on the ground. The remaining soldiers tried to fight back, but the Saiyan prince was too much for them. With an emotionless expression, Vegeta spat on the ground as he was surrounded by corpses. Not even a scratch on his armor.

Once again, he approached the chest and destroyed the lock on it. He opened the chest, to inspect if the treasure they were looking for was here. His eyes inspected the gold and other interesting-looking materials but to the Saiyan prince, all of that meant nothing. Rather quickly, he closed the chest and sat on top of it. He shifted his attention towards Nappa who was still fighting. While he watched his companion kill every single man on the field, Vegeta tried to make contact with the remaining Saiyans.

Several minutes later, Nappa made his way to Vegeta. The elite warrior dusted off his hands as he approached the prince. "So, I guess we're done with this place... What about that thing, all in?" His question was answered with a positive nod, but Nappa could tell something was bothering the flame-haired warrior.

"What's wrong?"

Vegeta's eyebrow twitched at that. "Tch, I can't make contact with those low-class morons! Neither, Raditz, Kakarot or the brat are responding..." The short prince jumped from the chest and looked around. "Try to find their power levels. I'll wait for you where we landed." Vegeta lifted the chest and was ready to fly to the place where their pods were when Nappa asked another question.

"What if there's no signal? Maybe they're dead?"

The Saiyan remained quiet for half a minute. "I'll only wait for three hours. If you can't find them by then... we're leaving this rock with or without them." With that being said, Vegeta took off, leaving Nappa alone.

.

Nappa did what was asked of him. He searched for his companion's power levels, but even after three hours, he couldn't find them. The bald warrior didn't care about them at all, however, it was somewhat refreshing to have a few more Saiyans in their already small group. Despite the fact it was only a mere low-class and a young hybrid, it was still better than nothing. However, they were nowhere to be found. Maybe it was better this way. If they couldn't survive here, on this pathetic planet than they would only be a burden in the future.

The huge warrior returned to where his space pod was and meet with Vegeta. "Nothing. I didn't pick up their power levels at all." As soon as he said that, his prince turned around and sat inside the pod.

"Take the chest with you."

Nappa was a little bit surprised Vegeta didn't comment anything about Raditz and the others, but he decided to remain quiet about it. He did as he was told and got into his pod. Their pods began to levitate and eventually flew to the outer space, back to one of Freeza's many stations.

Just a quick note. I won't be able to upload the next chapter for at least 2 weeks since I'm going out of town. As for the reviews, I'm glad my take on Raditz's "rebirth" was good enough. As always, apologies for grammar and spelling errors.

Bye!
