Recoome jumped up and approached the quartet with a smirk on his face. "Alright!" He said. "I get the lady and the two small brats."
Jeice scowled at the ginger Ginyu Force member. "Who said you get the two little ones? It's three of them and three of us, so we each get one."
Burter counted them out with his index finger. "I count four, Jeice." He said holding up four fingers.
"The two little ones basically count as one. Their power levels combined don't seem to measure up with the woman or Vegeta." Jeice faced Recoome and pointed an accusing finger at him. "You either get the tykes or the woman! Vegeta and whoever is left over goes to Burter and me."
Nonoi watched impatiently as the ginger brute pondered on who will be his opponent. Charging forward and deciding for him, she began her assault. She landed a solid punch to his face, sending him flying. After that Nonoi flew towards Recoome from behind him knocking him into a crater. She flew in the air and then flew back down kneeing the ginger in the stomach. Grabbing onto one of his legs, she spun him around repeatedly before tossing into a nearby small mountain. Gohan and Krillin watched in amazement as the female Saiyan charged up an enormous amount of energy and blasted the mountain. Krillin dropped to the ground to avoid the aftermath of the blast, while Gohan watched in shock at how much power Nonoi released.
"Hey! Get down Gohan!"
Krillin grabbed his arm and pulled him down. The hybrid gasped when he saw the destruction from the calming blast.
"I-I-Incredible! She did it!" Krillin said.
Vegeta looked towards where Nonoi shot her blast. He scoffed when he sensed the brute's energy.
"No way...how did he survive that?!" Gohan asked.
"Did you assume that blast would be enough to beat Recoome? The woman is strong...but Recoome...he's in a different league than her." Vegeta said, spitting in disgust. "Just look at him."
Recoome stood there, in all his glory, with a funny pose and silly face. His armour and hair was frazzled, but he looked unfazed and unharmed by her attack.
"Oh hello there, little lady." He said mockingly, winking for extra effect.
Nonoi growled when she saw him. He won't go down easy, it seems, she thought to herself as she put her guard.
Recoome chuckled and raised his arms. He flew at Nonoi and connected a vicious knee to her chin, sending her flying.
"Nonoi!" Krillin and Gohan yelled. The attempted to jump on the fight, but was stopped by Vegeta, who continued to watch the fight.
She flipped herself over and charged at the brute again. The two warriors continued to trade blows, each hit by the other sharper than the last.
"You're good, little lady. Well play time is over."
Recoome smirked before yelling out his name and hitting Nonoi with his elbow, sending her staggering to the ground. Recoome flew down and tried to hit her, but she recovered quickly and connected a swift kick to his jaw. Dashing away as the angry brute rubbed his jaw and continued his pursuit of her. Nonoi created two small balls in her hands and tossed them at Recoome, creating a smokescreen-like cover.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Jeice asked.
"I don't know. She moved so fast, almost as fast as me at fifty percent." Burter boasted, as his orange companion rolled his eyes.
"Hey, guys! If my opponent runs away, I can pick a new one right?" Recoome yelled towards them, laughing at his current situation.
-FREEZA-
"Great work, Captain Ginyu." Freeza said as the Captain placed the Dragon Balls in front of him. "As per usual, you have exceeded my expectations. Not only have you brought me all seven Dragon Balls, but you did it with such ease that I'm upset with myself for not listening to my father and taking you in the voyage since the beginning."
"Praise from you is a high honor indeed, my Lord." Ginyu said. "Nothing else in the universe can bring greater pride!"
Freeza stared at his reflection within the Dragon Balls as he smirked at them. "Finally, after such long waiting, I will finally obtain immortality."
"This calls for a dance!" Ginyu said. "To commemorate this magnificent occasion, I will perform the 'Dance of Joy' in your honor, my Lord."
Ginyu began to perform as he twisted and twirled before Freeza, who watched with a flushed face. "You know, Ginyu," He said, "Perhaps this can wait until later."
"Of course, Lord Frieza." Ginyu said.
"Although I don't mind admitting," Freeza said, "I am overwhelmingly aflutter."
"And rightfully so, my Lord." Ginyu said. "In mere seconds, you will claim your place as ruler of the universe forever."
"Dragon Balls," Freeza said, "I, Lord Freeza, command you to grant my wish for immortality, so that I may rule over the universe forever!"
-BATTLEFIELD-
Nonoi thought deeply as she lowered her power level and hid underwater. She couldn't possibly beat the brute in hand to hand combat, so she's got to get technical. I know! she thought before swimming away.
"Hey girlie! Come out and fight me! Burter and Jeice want a turn at the rest, so I have to hurry this up!" Recoome yelled.
Krillin and Gohan huddled together, a duo of nervous wrecks. They refused to believe Nonoi would tuck her tail and run. She promised to help them revive their friends.
"Krillin, you don't think she r-ran awa-" Gohan was stopped short by the infamous Saiyan Prince as he stepped towards Recoome.
"It seems the woman has run off. Guess it was too much for her, but nonetheless, I, Vegeta, shall take her place and show you how a real elite fights!" Vegeta yelled at the grinning brute.
"You hear that, guys?! Veggie wants to fight me. Sorr-" Recoome was cut off by the Prince as he dashed forward and dealt a blow to Recoome's jaw, sending him flying backwards. Vegeta flew ahead of the brute and hit the ground. He pushed off towards Recoome and brought his hands down into the his face. He turned in the air and slammed his feet back down into Recoome's chest, knocking the wind out of him and leavjng his gasping for air.
Vegeta grabbed Recoome by his ankle and began spinning him around. He threw the brute straight for Jeice and Burter, who easily dodged the flying Recoome, allowing him to crash into the rocks behind them.
The Saiyan gathered all of his energy into his hands and placed the bases of his palms together. The four spectators all braced themselves as the ki blast shot past them, whipping up dirt and rocks and throwing them all around.
"I'm done playing games! Take this, my Saiyan rage!" Vegeta yelled, pushing another wave of energy into the blast.
The sky filled with dirt and smoke as the blast. Jeice and Burter tried to take shelter from the debris but were caught in the billowing dust cloud from the explosion.
Krillin got onto one knee and watched as the sky began to clear. "Wow." He said. "Vegeta's gotten a lot stronger since we fought back on Earth. He completely blew that guy away just like Nonoi did, but did he take alot of damage this time?" The sound of laughter being his answer.
Recoome laughed as the smoke cleared around him. Blood streamed down his face. His hair was now but a puff, while his armor, which had been reduced to more strips of his black undergarments, was now completely gone.
"You did the same thing as the girlie. You gotta be more creative, Veggie!" Recoome yelled. He brought his hands above his head and stared straight at Vegeta. "RECOOME KICK!"
He dashed forward and planted his knee into Vegeta's chin, sending him flying. The Prince felt blood trickle down his chin as he flipped off of a rock and went straight for Recoome. The brute blocked his punch and countered with his own. The Saiyan began punching furiously at Recoome, who effortlessly blocked each attack.
"Not bad, Vegeta," Recoome said, "but let's see what you're really made of." He brought his elbow above his head in preparation for his attack. "Recoome... Elbow!"
He slammed down on the top of Vegeta's head, sending him plumeting into the dirt. The Prince dodged as Recoome went for another attack while Vegeta was down.
"Come on Vegeta! The woman took a hit better than you!"
The two began a chase through the sky until Vegeta turned and fired at Recoome. The brute moved past the blast and flew behind Vegeta.
"You're too slow!" He said, grabbing onto the Prince. Squeezing the life out of Vegeta as they floated above the river.
"That's it for Vegeta, Burter." Jeice said, looking away from the battle. "Recoome's grip is stronger than possibly anything in the world."
"Yeah you're right, time to start decision who gets the tykes I guess." Burter said, pointing at Gohan and Krillin.
Vegeta screamed out in agony as Recoome squeezed tighter around his waist. As quickly as his fun started it ended as three ki blasts shot up from under the water. Releasing Vegeta, Recoome barely managed to dodged them.
"What is tha-" Recoome was cut off by a swift double kick that sent him crashing down into a nearby cliff.
Krillin and Gohan gasped in shock as the brute crashed down, staring up at the lean figure who sent him downward. "Nonoi!" They cheered in unison.
"Someone take the Saiyan, he seems to be gravely injured," Nonoi said grabbing onto Vegeta's hair and floating down to the Earthlings. "I will be continuing my battle with this man."
"Are you okay?" Asked Krillin her. He took Vegeta from her and laid him on the ground. "Your plan was great."
She ignored him and kept her eyes on the rubble Recoome landed on. The female Saiyan had bruises on her arms and face, as well as a few cuts, but she still seemed unfazed by it all. She slowly panted and groaned in annoyance when Recoome did a triple somersault in the air standing back up like nothing happened. Gohan and Krillin's eyes widened while Recoome just smirked.
"Well I see you're back little lady. I guess it's time to put an end to this little game of ours don't you agree? I just wish Vegeta was up to see it."
Jeice chuckled, "Here it comes, Recoome is going to go berserk."
Burter nodded. "They're done for."
"Alright little lady, whatever other moves you want to try do it now or else I will be killing you."
Nonoi clenched her teeth in anger.
"I can't approach him head on, I have to wait on him to attack and get sloppy. "She thought.
"Gohan..." Krillin said knocking hey out of her thoughts. Nonoi and Gohan both looked at him curiously.
"Yeah?" Gohan responded.
"I think we have no other choice but to help out Nonoi. If she goes down before Goku gets here, we're done for."
Nonoi looked at him shocked. Why would they help her if they had no shot of even phasing the brute?
"Got it! Miss Nonoi, we will assist you from her on out." Gohan smiled at her. Krillin and Gohan readied themselves in defensive positions behind her. "We will hold on until my dad gets here."
"Ready to rumble?!" Recoome put his hand to his forehead. "RECOOME ERASER GUN!"
He fired a blast through his mouth sending it speeding towards Nonoi. Before she could even blink Krillin and Gohan blasted towards Recoome. Krillin hit him on the top of his head sending the blast up his nose. Gohan grabbed Vegeta saving him from the blast, while Nonoi narrowly dodged the blast. The blast went towards an island making it explode. She shielded her eyes and gasped at the damage the blast caused. However, her biggest shock was how fast the Earthlings executed their plan. I couldn't even see it, but they were ready and moved instinctively, she thought as she dusted off her pants.
"Are you alright?!" Gohan yelled towards her. His heart was racing, he had just barely grabbed Vegeta and dodged the attack.
"Get off me, brat!" Vegeta pushed off the hybrid as he struggled to his feet. "Woman! Why didn't you attack? The weaklings were able to see an opportunity to move and yet you stood frozen." He glared at Nonoi.
"So you weren't napping..." Nonoi scoffed at the ranting Prince.
Krillin stared where an island had once been, the area was nothing but a crater now. "Unreal..." He said. "If one of us had taken that blast head on, well...we would joining Tien and the others in OtherWorld."
Recoome grunted as he got to his feet and turned to Krillin. "Smart idea." He said. "You really got me with that sneak attack of yours, twice actually, once by you and the other by the girl." He looked over to the other two Ginyu Force members and called out. "Yo Jeice, Burter! Do you mind if I take the runts, too? I'll pay you guys back big time!"
"Fine!" Jeice called back. "Take 'em all, you big oaf!"
"But you're picking up the tab for lunch and dinner for the next 3 weeks!" Burter called out.
"It's a deal!" Recoome said. "Well you heard them, little man. You're all mine now!"
Nonoi, Gohan and Vegeta watched as Recoome went up to Krillin, who backed away in terror.
"Recoome..." The brute started, "Kick!" He brought his foot up to Krillin's chest and sent him flying backwards. His body dragged along the ground before eventually coming to a stop with a thud.
"Krillin!" Gohan yelled, flying over to the downed fighter.
"I'm good, Gohan." Krillin groaned. "It's just a small flesh wound." He coughed up a little bit of blood and laid his head on the ground. "Even after that powerup...even after getting that powerup from the Grand Elder, I'm still completely worthless, aren't I?"
"Don't say that, Krillin!" Gohan said. "Just hold on, my dad will be here."
"No, Gohan." Krillin groaned. "It's over. They're too strong, too fast. And they've got all seven Dragon Balls. It's hopeless.
"Awww." Recoome said. "Did I hit him too hard? I wanted to play with him some more."
"You big bully!" Gohan yelled. "This isn't over! I haven't given up!"
"Don't worry." Recoome laughed. "You will eventually."
Gohan's hands began to glow as he shot at Recoome, who simply hit the beam back. Gohan dodged as the beam hit the ground but was caught by Recoome, who slammed the hybrid into the ground and then threw him, sending his body dragging through the dirt.
Recoome chuckled as Gohan slowly got to his feet, ready to fight. "I told you I'm not giving up!" The young saiyan yelled.
"Gohan..." Nonoi whispered. Why doesnt he give up, he cant win, right?
"I have..." Gohan said. "I have to keep... fighting." As he stumbled for Recoome, a clear aura enveloped him, his hair whipping to the sides of his head. Nonoi, Krillin and Vegeta felt his energy rise, as did the Ginyus scouters pick it up.
"Stay down brat!" Vegeta yelled.
"You guys are really stubborn, aren't you?" Recoome laughed. "I should know. I'm stubborn too."
Gohan clenched his fist and look up at Recoome. "I won't go down so easily." He said. "I won't let you win!"
He charged at the brute, who easily dodged and leaped into the air and connected his foot to the boy's neck, snapping it. Nonoi and Vegeta watched horrified as the child's unmoving body hit the ground, his energy dropping to nearly nothing.
"Gohan!" Nonoi yelled, looking to charge but was held back by Vegeta.
"You should know better than to charge recklessly at that monster. We need to strategize." He said, coughing up a bit of blood.
"You idiot." Burter said. "That was a bit much, don't you think? I could hear the poor tyke's neck snap from here."
"We have orders to kill all of them, except Vegeta." Jeice said, no sign of remorse in his blank statement.
"Great performance by the pathetic runt." Vegeta said, collapsing to one knee. "Almsot fool me into thinking he gained some strength."
"What a joke!" Recoome said. "You're all a bunch a pushovers. I didn't even break a sweat! Lord Freeza overreacted calling us for you weaklings." He approached Gohan's body, which gave slight spasms as blood trickled from his mouth. "I guess I'll finish the job, the kid deserves a proper death."
Before he could make a move, a loud roar filled the sky. Everyone turned to watch as a ship moved through the horizon, descending down onto the planet.
"Seems we have another visitor." Jeice said.
Nonoi watched as the ship came down with a loud crash, it's landing site erupting with dirt and dust. An unfamiliar power was on the ship, but she had a pretty good guess who it was. "Goku..." She whispered.
