Sup guys, here's a new chapter for you.

A special thanks to you guys that reviewed, it means a lot. This chapter is shorter than the last one but that's mostly because I sort of wanted to get it out of the way since I had a mild case of writer's block. It should be cured now (hopefully).

And another thing, I did mention Beerus (Bills) last chapter but it will be a WHILEbefore he shows up. So that's that, enjoy the chapter.

Dragon Ball Kai

Chapter 7

The Saiyans Attack

"It's over there!" Goku pointed out as he and Gine ascended through the air.

She had to say that she was very impressed with the structure. It floated very high in the air without mechanical assistance from what she could see, so how did they get the place to float so effortlessly. Did this planet have better technology than Planet Vegeta?

Gine pushed the thoughts aside as she and Goku touched down on the white tiled floor and were greeted by the guardian himself as well as Mr. Popo.

There was a certain air of wariness between them but Goku didn't seem to notice as he excitedly pointed at the tall green man, "This is Kami, he's the one that's training me! And that there's Mr. Popo, he trains with me a lot too!"

Seeing as it was more than obvious that they were apprehensive of her, she offered a grin to put them at ease, "Thank you for looking after my son. He's become strong thanks to you."

"Not at all," Kami answered truthfully, "I've only begun to train him recently. The rest of his progress was thanks to the many people he met here on Earth."

"I see," she answered before asking the question that had been on her mind ever since she first saw Kami, "Sorry about asking so suddenly but what is a Namekian doing all the way here? As far as I know, Planet Namek is quite far from here."

Kami seemed surprised at her words but didn't voice it, instead he simply said, "Earth is my home. In any case, there's something I need to know about the people you came with. Other than Goku, what reason is there for you being here?"

"The Saiyan race is one of the many that have made it a business to sell planets. They do so by killing off the life-forms of any planet of interest."

Before the Namekian could answer, Goku spoke up with a grin, "Don't worry Kami. I'll protect the Earth when the time comes. That's why I'll train to become much stronger!"

"I'll help you train too," Gine decided, making her son's eyes light up. "Your father doesn't go back on what he says. That's why when he told you that he would keep this world from being purged, he meant it. But for that to happen you need to be much stronger. I'm not very strong but I can teach you all that he's taught me."

"Of course, I won't lighten your training either," Kami told the boy.

Goku grinned, "Let's start already then!"


Once again wearing his trademark red uniform, but with the Kami emblem and a dark blue shirt underneath, Goku dodged a punch aimed at his face by jumping to the side, only for Gine to follow after him immediately and throw a couple of jabs his way. The young Saiyan backtracked while dodging the attacks by moving his head from side to side, before leaping up in the air. While he would usually go much higher, Kami had made his clothes much heavier than anything he was used to, it had been a pain to get used to them, but after a month of nothing but training he felt much more comfortable wearing them.

He was broken out of his thoughts when a large ki blast flew towards him and, instead of dodging it, he slapped it away but just when he thought he had avoided being hit, his eyes widened when he saw his mother right in front of him. With no time to react, he was struck on the head and sent crashing down on the lookout.

"That was great Goku," Gine smiled while touching down on the floor.

Goku chuckled wearily in response as he got on his feet and dusted off his pants. Today's training had been different, instead of sparring or training his mind, he had to dodge his mother's attacks without attacking back. Kami had said that it would help him get used to the weight even further, while his mom told him that it would make him get used to her and Bardock's fighting style.

"Oh..." he held his stomach with a scowl, "I'm hungry now."

Gine laughed. If there was something she learned while coming to train with Goku all the time, it was that he had an incredible appetite.

"Go take a bath then, I'll get some food ready," she told him and he didn't have to be told twice as he dashed for the temple with an eager smile. "I wonder if Mr. Popo will help with the food again..."


Nappa was beyond furious.

It had been one month now and they had done nothing. No destroying cities, no killing Earthlings, nothing! Why? Because Bardock felt like it!

He would make sure to tell King Vegeta everything if they got back. Even if his King seemed to have some sort of respect for Bardock, he'd be furious when he heard of all this.

The others, minus Gine, were probably thinking the same thing. He could tell. Which is why he called them to a nearby city where they now stood on top of a tall building.

"What's going on Nappa?" Mara asked.

"All this sitting around is getting on my nerves. We should do something to amuse ourselves, destroy a town or two."

Raditz had similar thoughts but he didn't want to go against his father, "Father said we couldn't kill any Earthlings though."

Nappa growled but then an idea came up, making him smirk.

"Fine we won't destroy any towns but maybe we should go test out the strongest this puny planet has to offer."

"You mean find us a couple of Earthlings and knock them around a little," Raditz said, liking the idea.

Mara knew for a fact that this was a bad idea.

Bardock didn't seem like the type to take insubordination lightly. But while she was intimidated by the veteran warrior, there was something that had been on her mind for some time now. Back when they were looking for Kakarot, she had seen his power level and was beyond curious. How could someone get so strong without going on missions or training with those his own kind?

"What do you say, you in?" Nappa asked the princess. He expected some sort of reluctance but instead was surprised to see a very Saiyan smirk on her face.

She had to fight him herself and see.

"I'm in."


Tien held a grimace on his face as he sat under a waterfall, letting the heavy water hit him on the shoulders as he meditated.

After traveling, he finally decided to train deep in the mountains. Isolated, but still not far from any of his friends if any of them needed help. Speaking of which he was reminded of the strange man that had been looking for Goku and wondered what happened after he left.

But that wasn't important now. He was in the middle of emptying his mind.

Allowing himself to drift away from those thoughts, Tien went back into deep meditation. With nothing but blackness and the faraway ki signatures, he was made aware of a very large one moving towards him.

Tien opened his eyes with a frown. There was something coming, something big.

Focusing his third eye he spotted a bald man, wearing armor similar to the strange man he had met, flying at a very fast speed.

"Looks like trouble..." Tien muttered to himself as he got out of the waterfall and floated up the air. "I'll just have to wait and see what happens."


'Not again.'

When Yamcha had thought that after meeting that strange person the rest of his training would continue without any interruptions, he decided to go to the desert for training. But now, as he watched the flying person get closer and closer, he wondered if there was more to this than he had thought.

At first he thought that the strange man would just find whatever he was looking for and then leave, but it didn't look like it anymore. Not only was this another person, he could already make out the black hair on the figure, but there could possibly be more.

It didn't take long for the smirking man with long black hair to arrive. There was a fair amount of space between them but Yamcha could still feel how dangerous this person was.

"Who are you?" He asked, hands balled into fists in anticipation.

Raditz smirked, "Doesn't matter."

Without warning he shot towards Yamcha, who quickly leaned to the side to dodge a punch and then jumped away to put some distance between them.

"Fight!"

Yamcha didn't have to be told twice so he got on his fighting stance with no time to wonder just what was going on.


Exchanging blows as they raced through the air, Tien and Nappa fought for very different reasons. One for amusement and the other for the will to survive.

The Saiyan kicked at Tien's chest but he grabbed the foot and flung him through the air. However, before he could crash, Nappa stopped himself in the air with a look of amusement.

"So your kind can fight," the Saiyan said in a pleasant tone, "Good. Otherwise this would've been boring."

Tien smirked in response. This guy was beyond cocky but cockiness was a terrible weakness to be exploited during a fight.

"Solar Flare!"

A blinding light flashed in the area causing Nappa to cry out in pain and nurse his eyes.

"Damn you! Damn you! My eyes!"

Tien took advantage of the moment and closed in on the Saiyan before letting loose a barrage of punches and kicks. Nappa could do nothing as he was struck all over his body before being sent flying through the air by a powerful kick to his torso.

"Dodon Ray!"

The beam of ki shot out of Tien's finger and into the air before making contact with its target, engulfing the Saiyan in a cloud of smoke.

Beads of sweat rolled down Tien's face as he watched the smoke die down and frowned when he saw that the strange man was still standing albeit hurt with parts of his armor blown off. He was still rubbing his eyes, affected by the effects of the Solar Flare even now, which gave him a bit of relief.

Tien took a deep breath to relax himself and got into his fighting stance as the effects of the Solar Flare died down.

Time for round two.


Yamcha had seen much better days.

After being confronted, the stranger had released a barrage of ki blasts that were both strong and fast. So far it had been a game of cat and mouse with Raditz continuing his attacks with no intention of stopping, while Yamcha did his best to dodge in any way he could. The former bandit mentally cursed himself for not bothering in asking Tien, Chiatzu, or Goku to teach him how to fly.

'I can't keep running forever and it doesn't look like that guy will stop any time soon,' Yamcha ran through the dunes while thinking of what to do until a thought finally hit him. He had heard from Tien of how Goku defeated King Piccolo. 'Thank you Goku.'

With a grin, Yamcha dodged yet another attack before gathering his ki and aiming at the ground on his under his feet, "Kamehameha!"

The blue wave of power materialized and he was sent rocketing through the air at a fast speed that took Raditz by surprise. Yamcha then prepared his next attack, bringing up his hands as he neared the Saiyan.

"Wolf Fang Fist!"

Completely thrown off by the switch in speed and with his hands still stretched out, Raditz cursed as he received a series of punches, swipes, and kicks before being knocked to the ground where he crashed and kicked up a cloud of debris.

Yamcha was not done however as he aimed at the crater Raditz had made.

"Kamehameha!"


Goku was all smiles as he ate his food contently. After a long day of training it was great to finally get to eat, he'd been starving!

As he reached for another piece of meat, Kami walked into the room with an urgent look on his face that didn't go unnoticed by Gine, who sat with Goku on the table.

"What is it?" She asked while her son continued to eat.

"Two of the people that came with you are fighting some of Goku's friends."

"I knew this would happen eventually," Gine cursed, "It isn't like that idiot Nappa to sit still for long periods of time."

Goku placed his plate on the table and turned to Kami with a serious expression on his face, "I have to go help them."


Yamcha watched the smoke of his attack clear, his face reflecting his worry. He wasn't stupid, he could tell that the guy he was fighting was a lot stronger than he looked. And even though he didn't know how strong he was, one thing was for certain, he was more than strong enough to survive his attack.

"Not bad for an Earthling," Raditz said as he emerged from the smoke. Besides a burn to his right arm and a chunk of his armor blown off, he looked unaffected. "But now I'll show you the true power of a Saiyan!"

Yamcha gritted his teeth as Raditz released his ki, causing a shockwave that kicked up harsh winds as well as clouds of debris. "No way..." he muttered to himself as the Saiyan continued to release his full power until he finally let it all out with a final scream.

"Now," Raditz began before disappearing from Yamcha's sight and reappearing inches away from him with a hand pointed at his chest, "Die!"

A powerful ki blast shot out of his hand and drove the Earthling to the ground with a loud crash.

'He wasn't as bad as I thought,' Raditz mused as he watched the weakling emerge from the rubble with his shirt blown off and sporting various wounds on his torso. Despite the wounds though, the Earthling put on a fighting stance, earning a chuckle, 'So he can still fight... This might be fun.'


Nappa growled as he traded blows with the Earthling that had grown another set of arms on his shoulders. Because of the extra limbs they were even on their exchange, both landing and receiving hits though the Saiyan was sure his did more damage. Though this advantage didn't last as Tien took a more defensive approach as they continued to trade blows, leaving his two extra arms free.

"Dodon Ray!"

The Saiyan was caught off guard as twin beams of ki fired out of the extra hands and knocked him back several feet until he crashed against a rocky hill.

With enough space to use his next attack, Tien flew high in the air and cupped his hands together, "Time to end this."

"Tri-Beam, ha!"


Goku's hair fluttered furiously as he moved rapidly through the skies.

After a quick visit to Korin to get a senzu bean, he had popped it into his mouth and left. With a good idea of where to go from Kami and with his ability to sense ki much better than before, he was able to pinpoint where his friends were fighting. But there was a problem, who should he go to first?

Yamcha's ki felt weaker than it was just moments ago. Tien on the other hand was still going strong and the person he was fighting was the one getting weaker, but even so, he still felt stronger than the guy Yamcha was fighting.

The boy finally made up his mind but was forced to a halt when he noticed something out of the corner of his eyes. Honing his senses he quickly spotted something moving towards him at a great speed.

Goku frowned as the figure came closer and closer until he could finally see who it was, a girl wearing Saiyan armor. Probably a friend of the guys fighting.

"You must be Kakarot," Maya stated, the resemblance to Bardock was uncanny.

"My name is Goku," he answered plainly before glaring at her, "Why are you guys fighting my friends? I thought you were going to wait for six months."

The Saiyan girl shrugged, "Calm down. It's not like we mean to kill anybody. We just had nothing to do and decided to fight some of the strongest on this planet."

Goku frowned, "I'm supposed to trust you?"

"You don't have to," Maya grinned. "But I came here for a fight and aren't leaving without one," she cracked her gloved hands and took on a fighting stance, "Get ready Goku."
