Chapter 5
All credit to Akira Toriyama and the teams who brought Dragon ball to life in the anime, movies, and manga, I own none of it.
Three figures wearing matching gi's fly through the sky, trying to sense anything out of the normal, or any powerful individuals.
"Thanks for tagging along Goku, we were kinda surprised that you didn't want to go with Chi-chi and Gohan though, right Yamcha?"
"Yeah man,not that we don't mind being paired up with you, but why are you with us?"
"We don't know what we're going up against, we have no idea for sure of the full power or abilities of the enemy, so we had to make sure each group had at least one super saiyan, besides, remember from our training? We have some great combos we can bust out, I hope we get a chance to use our planetary spirit seeker!"
"Haha, I love your enthusiasm Goku, and I'm looking forward to trying that out on an android too, with all of you guys gaining super saiyan and fusing, it was great coming up with new techniques like the old days, next world tournament, don't be surprise if I can trick even you Goku" Krillin stated as they flew
Meanwhile to the South of the Turtle students
"Disgraceful, that a Prince and Super Saiyan such as myself should have these weaklings as allies, especially the three eyed bald one"
"Hey! Don't insult Tien! If you do we'll show you some super human powers!" The little pale warrior screamed while trying to hold back his fear
"Don't worry about him EMPEROR, let the little prince throw his tantrum, he can't be expected to be as mature as someone who has actually ascended to his throne" Tien stated haughtily, silently enjoying the the quiet rage radiating off the prince. Despite how he would protest, everyone knows how much softer he got after Trunks was born.
"Wait, I think I see something"
"Are you sure human? I can't see or sense anything"
"Did you forget the third eye? It gives me incredible sight, my vision is beyond reproach, and I see guys down there with the red ribbon logo on their clothes"
The unlikely trio flew down towards this strange rounded pale man with the Red Ribbon army logo on his hat.
"Interesting" Stated the stranger in a high pitched robotic voice "We expected Son Goku to be the first to find us. No worries, you three shall aid in the defeat of your friends. I think I'll start with the former Crane Students, their style is known to us as we've observed them for years"
"Us?" questioned the arrogant prince "You're the only one here, and your energy is so weak that it's non exis-" Vegeta was cut off as he was clotheslined by a large muscular gray skinned individual who threw him into a nearby car, following up by flying up and blasting down into the wreckage, as the people began to panic, scream, and run in all directions.
The small emperor only had time to turn and look as both he and Tien were blasted in the stomach before they were both grabbed by the their throats by the large rounded man.
"Excellent, this is much more energy than expected but nowhere near enough to resist"
Two arms erupted from Tiens back and both sent blasts at the androids face, at the same time Chiaotzu grew so large that the stranger was forced to let go, both escaping his grip while Vegeta flew out of his crater to knee the gray stranger in the face.
"This was unexpected, 14, they are much more powerful than expected and appear to have new techniques. I've absorbed enough for now, distract them and let us rendezvous with 20."
The well built gray opponent formed a red barrier around himself to block the saiyans blast before blasting a nearby gas station, using the explosion to distract the z-fighters enough for the strange opponents to escape.
"Blast! I can't believe we let them get away!"
"Are ok Chiaotzu? The one that came at us was able to absorb our energy through physical contact, I didn't' expect that, and even while they were blasting I couldn't sense a thing"
"I'm ok Tien, did you notice how his grip tightened the more he absorbed? I'm glad we were able to escape before he took too much, we need to keep him away from the super saiyans"
"Excuse me? I could handle them both myself, if only you two fools hadn't have gotten caught and made them stronger, they'd already be dead!"
"Wait, can you sense that? Goku's energy is flaring while Yamcha and Krillins are dropping fast"
"Not only that Tien, but Piccolo, Gohan, and Chi-chi, all of them are fighting, they laid a trap for us"
"Blast this, if anyone is going to kill Kakarot it's going to be me!" screamed the prince before he flew off towards Goku's energy"
"Chiaotzu, remember, the red ribbon army was supposed to gather here for their return, these enemies are powerful, but where is the army?"
Goku's group
"Hey guys, did you sense that? Vegetas group is fighting, we should head over and-"
Before Goku could finish his sentence his two companions were kicked to the ground, and he turned around just in time to block a punch from a small purple man with a Red Ribbon Army logo on his bowtie. How did he do that? I couldn't sense a thing! Even right now, it's like he's not even there Goku thought.
"Excellent job 15!" Screamed an elderly man with a Red Ribbon Army hat who caught the two humans "This is much more than we'd hoped for! Keep that fool busy while I make sure drain these two dry" All of a sudden both humans began to move, they each put a hand close to each other, and a small ball of energy the size of a fist began to form around the middle of a small disc, Yamcha turned his finger toward the old man and the ball began to buzz towards him, he turned his head, but Krillin turned his finger and it turned towards the mans head, he released them to be able to dodge and absorb the blast. "Interesting new technique, that wasn't in our databanks, I appreciate such a large amount of highly compressed energy though"
Goku landed in front of the two while the small purple man floated near the old man. All of a sudden Goku is tackled by a pale round man while Yamcha and Krillin are engaged by a large well built gray individual. "Ahh, 19, 14, welcome, if you're here I assume you were able to get some energy from the others. 15, watch out for any of their friends that try to save them, and stop them before they can interrupt our absorptions"
Vegeta flys near and can see the low class baka with the absorbing man on his chest, as he flys closer to kill the round enemy, he is kicked in the face and flys into a nearby building "Who dares!" all of a sudden a small purple man appears in front of him and blasts him in the face, sending him flying out of the building and onto the street.
With Piccolo's Group
Gohan and Chi-chi were flying behind piccolo when suddenly he was behind them pulling them both by their legs screaming "Dodge!" and two large blasts appear right where they would have been.
"Interesting, how did you know i was there? I was designed to be able to hide myself from you lot"
"I couldn't sense you but I could hear you a mile away, you aren't human, you sound like the inside of a space engine"
"I'll take that as a compliment. I'm here to keep anyone I find busy long enough for the others to finish your friends. Nothing personal, but you're all gonna die"
Piccolo smirks as mother and son assume stances at his side "Keep us busy? After we kill you, we'll be sure to tell your allies how much a great distraction you were. GOOO!" Gohan and Chi-chi charged while Piccolo disappeared and reappeared behind the trucker hat wearing enemy.
Joint training session with the World military under King Furry, the Ox Kingdom, and Maoshun
"They are right where we expected them sir, all together waiting for word to assist Son Goku, performing maneuvers and training to keep everyone sharp"
"Marvelous, come in all forces, this is 9, everyone get into position. 11, 12, you two lead the vanguard and attack from the north and south, 10, you take command of our ranged forces to the west, pick off any that flee. I'll take the east myself.
"Finally, we'll have revenge on the man that ruined everything! I hope we get a chance to look him in the eye when Goku realizes that the day he invaded our base was the beginning of the end" 9 stated when he looked at the others and laughed. 9, the former Commander Red, 10, the former Commander Black, 11, the former General White, and 12, the former General Blue, all grinned at one another. They might have been considered obsolete failures by the great Dr. Gero, but while they were too weak to join the mission to kill Goku, they were plenty strong enough to destroy their legacy, and all the most powerful militaries on the planet at once.
The lookout
"I can sense it, Dende, Mr. Popo, my time is nearing it's end"
"No Kami" they both chorused "They'll win!" shouted Dende
"It's not that I don't believe in them, but I can sense that this is just the opening stage to something much worse. And it isn't just me, this is why our visitors have arrived as well"
Two namekians stepped towards Kami and his companions
"We are grateful for the visit, I assume you felt the same things I did?"
"I did, and I felt that this was what was needed to save not just earth, but the whole galaxy, if the foreboding sense of evil isn't stopped here. I've already given Monaito all the knowledge he needs to continue to be an amazing Guardian, I technically passed that role onto him decades ago when the saiyans attacked our planet, luckily he was able to bring us back. But the time has come, I am here to merge, Kami"
"And I was the greatest warrior of our colony on that planet. Especially after our training and meeting with you and the other Namekians. However, soon I will begin to show my age and my power will begin to decline. I am content to leave my people under the care of younger warriors, in the next few years they will be more than capable of defending our colony. I want to continue to fight, and I thought it only right to merge with the one you call Piccolo, with him I can keep fighting and training."
"When our greatest warrior merges with Piccolo, and I merge with you, the time will almost be upon us to reform the nameless namekian, you know that right Kami?"
"I do, if you had said that to me a few years ago I'd have called you insane, but he has truly changed, and he is the one greatest warrior of our people."
"But Kami, Elder Monaco, Warrior Kasta, why is it so important for you all to leave us? Kami, you have your youth back, you two can always wish for it too if you want. I truly trust Piccolo, but he's plenty strong, why do you all need to merge? I'm not ready yet!" Screamed Dende
"You are ready young one, you will soon be an incredible guardian" Kami stated gently
"Besides, the warrior Piccolo will become will be a being that can easily surpass even super saiyans. He is less than 20 earth years old and has a long long life ahead of him, and he will carry the knowledge, wisdom, abilities, and powers of three Namekian Elders that survived the great cataclysm of our planet, and as he himself is the most powerful child of the nameless namekian of earth, Nail and Katsu are the most powerful children of their Elders. Our races oldest and wisest Dragon Clan members together with our greatest warriors."
"Then why didn't you merge before they went to fight today?"
"Because young one" stated Monaco, "We may have accepted our fate, but just as we know what we must do, we also sense that it's not quite time yet, we can't explain why"
"I'll do my best as the new Guardian, I'll be sure to bring honor to our people and the position. Can you contact Moori and Monaito? I want all the dragon balls ready in case something happens to the earth."
"Excellent idea Dende, I'll contact them now, things are moving fast, we must be ready" This feeling of a coming dread, it rattles me to my bones, I pray that the earth will survive the oncoming storm"
Androids 13-15, 19, and 20 engage the Dragon team, while the new Red Ribbon Army lead by Androids 9-12 attack the worlds strongest militaries, and the Namekians are preparing to rebirth the nameless namekian.
