Kyru: The Half-Saiyan
Saiyan Saga
Chapter 4

The Battlefield
Three Hours Later

It has been three hours since Tien Choutzu and Yamcha all got killed and now, only Piccolo, Kyru, Krillin and Gohan are left. The four managed to stall, saying that Goku was going to come soon and Vegeta decided to allow three hours to passed to see if Goku really did come. He was running extremely late.

"Looks like Kakarot isn't showing up, what a coward!" laughed Nappa.

"You shut up! Dad's coming and he's going to beat you into the ground!" shouted Gohan. Nappa laughed at that.

"Like he could even do that! He is probably hiding in a hole somewhere, Something YOU should do ya weak little brat. Your probably so scared you can't even fight properly!" Nappa sneered. Kyru's tail twitched as her anger rise. No one, NO ONE was allowed to berate or insult her older brother.

"Hey!" Nappa turned only to get punched in the face by a small fist and was sent stumbling back and landed on his back, stunned with a forming bruise on his cheek.

Kyru landed on her feet, a scowl on her face. Her comrades' gape at her sudden attack. Nappa snarled and stood, throwing a punch. Kyru evaded it by jumping to the side and formed a Ki blast in her hand before throwing it at the giant arm at point blank. Nappa grunted before finally landing a punch, sending her flying and skidding back. She let out a groan before carefully getting up. She rubbed her chest with a wince, already feeling a bruise forming.

"You'll pay for bruising my face you little bitch!" growled Nappa, getting ready to beat the little half Saiyan.

"Nappa!" Vegeta called over, stopping him. "She could be of some use to us if she is trained properly."

"But Vegeta, what about-"

"I'll handle things when it comes down to it."

"Fine." Nappa huffed, slightly disappointed.

Kyru heard Piccolo calling her name and she flew over to the others, landing beside Gohan. She could see Piccolo giving her an impressed but disapproving look.

"Never do that again."

"I won't." she assured him. Hopefully she will be able to keep her temper in check this time. She heard Piccolo started to come up with a plan, he and Krillin will distract Nappa and Gohan will go in for the kill. Seems simple enough. They put their plan into action, but it didn't work. Now Piccolo had a nice bruise on his head and Krillin was laying on the ground. She figured that he was injured too badly to just get up. The only ones who were up to fight was her and Gohan.

Kyru got in a fighting stance in front of Gohan, making Nappa laugh.

"The she-brat wanna fight 'ey? I might not be allowed to kill you, but I sure can bring you pain!" He laughed before flying straight towards them. Kyru quickly flew up, making Nappa follow and started to throw Ki blasts at him to no effect. He flew up in front of her and she barely dodged the kick that was aimed at her side. She quickly dodged the attacks he sent at her and quickly kicked his head, but it did no damage. Nappa grinned and back handed her down towards the ground. She slammed into it, making a crater around her. She let out a groan and looked at Nappa and saw that he was charging a ki attack. He let it loose and she quickly jumped away, making the blast hit where she used to be a split second later.

Now her clothes were slightly ripped from the landing and she could feel the bruise starting to form from where he backhanded her. She looked up, expecting Nappa to be grinning down at her, to be gone. She quickly looked around and saw that he was going after Gohan and Piccolo was trying to make his way to protect the boy.

Gohan jumped up and kicked Nappa, sending him flying into a small mountain which crumbled on top of him. Kyru, Piccolo and Krillin stared a shock before looking at Gohan who was panting slightly. Kyru had to say, she wasn't expected that to happen at all.

Nappa flew out of the rubble and landed a few feet away, growling. He looked up and they could see blood running down his face, dripping onto the ground and he looked pissed.

"You...I'm going to kill you, you brat!" He snarled and started to charge up an attack. Gohan stood there, scared out of his wits. That helped Kyru make a split-second decision. She forced herself up and flew over and in front of Gohan, unleashing a barrage of ki blast, but it was no use, he continued to charge up.

"You wanna die with that brat? THEN HERE YOU GO!" He snarled and shot his attack at them. She fell to her knees, hardly having the strength to keep standing. There's no way she will be able to grab Gohan and dodge, not with all the energy she used up.

A figure zoomed in front of them, arms out stretched. Her eyes widened when she realized just who it was.

"Piccolo, what are you doing?! Get out of the way!" she screamed at him, but he stayed put and the blast connecting, making him scream out in pain. Kyru covered her eyes and waited for the blast to be over.

She looked at Piccolo once the blast was over and saw smoke coming off him.

"P... Piccolo..."

"It's alright kid, no sweat..." He huffed before falling to the ground. The two kids quickly went to his side.

"Why did you go and do that?" Gohan sniffed.

"When...I first met both of you... I almost wanted... to give up on you right then and there...but as…the days progressed...you both proved me wrong. No matter...how many times I knock you down...you still got up." Piccolo coughed, ignoring the boy's question. Gohan's and her eyes started to tear up.

"You...both got stronger and stronger...over time...I started to see you...more than my students...I started...to see you as my friends...my family..." Tears started to build up in Piccolo's eyes. "I'm proud of both of you."

Piccolo smiled, his eyes fighting to stay open, to keep his vision filled with the two until he couldn't anymore. The two watched as Piccolo's eyes slowly closed and his head tilted to the side, breathing in his last breath.

Then, his energy completely vanished.

Kyru stood there as Gohan screamed out all his pain and sadness. She slowly stood up, her power starting to rise. The two turned to Nappa, who was laughing.

"Maseko..." Gohan put his hands against his forehead, gathering energy.

"Nappa watch out! The boy's powerlevel is twenty-three hundred!" Vegeta warned his companion.

"HA!"

Gohan let his attack loose. Nappa got ready and smacked it away and into a mountain, destroying the top.

"That made my arm numb, heheh." Nappa rubbed his forearm.

"Nappa! Above you! The girl's twenty-two hundred!"

Nappa looked up just to get a face full of a foot before Kyru kicked his neck, sending him flying. He flipped and landed on his feet before flying towards Kyru and smacking her neck, almost breaking it. She flew into a pile of rubble and didn't get up.
