The Z-fighters stood off against the three Saiyans. The big, hulking, brute with a thin moustache and shaved head, Nappa. The shorter male with the spiked standing hair, and the largest power that they felt, Vegeta. Even with their year of training, the fighters still felt a twinge of uncertainty when looking, knowing they would have to fight him. Last was the only female, Black armor with red underneath, red bands on each arm, black boots with a red stripe going up them vertically, black hair that stopped just below her shoulder blades, and matching colored eyes, her name being Tolas
"Look Vegeta, the puny earthlings think that they can actually do something", Nappa said as he cracked his knuckles. "You Saiyans are the only ones going to die today", Piccolo countered back sharply. "Hold on, you there, Namekian:", Vegeta looked directly at Piccolo.
"Hold up, what exactly is a Namekian", Piccolo frowned slightly.
Vegeta looked at him bewildered. Kakarot had forgotten his race, and now this Namekian too.
Vegeta went to speak, but Tolas did so first.
'The Namekians are a peaceful race of slug like people. Despite their relative peacefulness, they do however make very skilled and dangerous warriors. They also have magical abilities, one of those being the ability to create the Dragon Balls, which you have on this planet."
This certainly shocked Piccolo, who had always thought himself to be a demon, the king of demons at that. Vegeta came to a sudden realization, and with it a grim smirk came onto his face.
"Now that I think about it, we don't need you, Namekian. There's a whole planet of you out there", Vegeta pointed a finger at the earth defender,"None of you will survive this, I promise you that".
"I promise that you'll find that a lot harder than you think", Piccolo yelled out as a white aura exploded around him as he powered up, the humans following right up.
"The Namekian, 7,000, the short bald one at 3,700,scarface at 3,650, the women equal to the bald one, the kid at 3,300 and the old man at 3,600", Vegeta muttered under his breath as he read his scouter.
"Well then, we really underestimated them Vegeta", Tolas said as she felt her Saiyan blood start to heat up at the prospect of a tough battle.
"Nappa you take the earthlings and Kakarot's brat" Vegeta commanded.
"With pleasure", Nappa turned towards the group of humans, an energy blast charged in his hand.
Nappa didn't get the chance to attack however,as a green chop to the head, courtesy of Piccolo, sent him flying away. Piccolo appeared next right in front of Vegeta, and aimed a punch directly at the Princes face. The attack never found its mark though, as Tolas appeared in front of him and caught the fist. Grunting in effort he tried to pull his fist away, but he didn't even manage to budge an inch.
"Nope,your fights with me, Namekian". Tolas pulled Piccolo forward, ramming a knee into his gut, quickly following up with a kick to the chin that sent Piccolo soaring across the field. She gave chase to the Namek, appearing above him and driving down a two handed fist that was caught, before she was sent up by a kiai wave. "Not bad, you hit pretty hard" Piccolo commented as he flew up to the floating Saiyan, before they flew at each other full speed, their fists colliding and producing a loud shockwave through the air, then engaging in a furious exchange of blows. "How is he matching me blow for blow", Tolas thought to herself as she barely managed to lean her head out of the way of a punch, retaliating with her own fist to the nose that snapped Piccolo's head back , who then rammed his head into Tolas's forehead in retaliation, sending her reeling back, blood leaking from the fresh wound. Taking advantage of the stun, Piccolo rushed in, throwing a flurry of punches all over her body. After a few seconds Tolas got her head back into the fight just in time to catch Piccolo's fists. "You're pretty good for a slug"Tolas taunted as the two pressed against each other, once again, neither of them giving ground. "You're not bad for yourself, for a bitch monkey", Piccolo taunted back. The two broke away from each other, each throwing out a blast. The two blasts met and detonated. Using the produced smoke as cover, Tolas rushed through it, but was shocked to see Piccolo gone. "Where the hell did he.."her thought was interrupted as Piccolo appeared above her, driving his elbow into the top of her head, sending Tolas soaring down and crashing into the earth, following the attack up with a barrage of ki blasts that further destroyed the earth below, finishing the assault off with a two handed blast, a fireball exploding from the blast.
"So, I'm stuck with the smallfry this time I see. Hopefully you don't die too fast", Nappa grinned as Gohan took a step back. "Oh don't run kiddo, I'll be sure to save you last.". Isuu stepped in front of the little boy, shielding him. "You won't be getting to him at all, you'll have to go through me".
"Sounds good to me" Nappa rushed Isuu who prepared herself, flinging a blast right towards Nappa who swatted it away, leaving his guard open for Yamcha to appear in front of him, driving his elbow into Nappa's exposed stomach, following up by attempting to deliver a punch to the chin that was blocked. The bandit warrior was sent to the ground by an overhead strike, stomping down on the Yamcha who rolled out of the way and sprung to his feet, throwing his own blast at Nappa, who was struck, but mostly unharmed except a few burns.
Roshi was already bulked up into his full power as Isuu and Krillin charged together, engaging Nappa who found himself getting pushed back under the combined assault. He found himself unable to dodge or block a good amount of the attacks, and due to their comparatively short size he found it hard to counter attack. The two started to slow down however, giving Nappa the opportunity he needed. The hulking Saiyan raised his hand to the ground, ki enveloping it, and swung his arm in a wide arc, forcing the two to jump away to avoid getting hit.
"This guy, he can take a beating. We've hit him, but he doesn't even look to be slowing down"Krillin observed as he watched Yamcha attack Nappa by himself. "Wolf Fang Fist', Yamcha cried out, using one of his signature attacks. However, none found their mark as they were either blocked or dodged. On the last attack, Nappa dodged to the left, throwing a leg that caught Yamcha, sending him through a rock. Opening his mouth, Nappa charged a ki blast that glew bright, forcing the Z fighters to look away.
"Break Cannon", Nappa called out in his head as he launched the attack right at Yamcha. The attack hit its mark true, hitting the bandit who only had time to block. He screamed in pain as he took the full brunt of the attack as it washed over him, burning him from the heat as well. "Yamcha!"Krillin and Roshi cried out in worry as they watched their friend get hit. When the smoke cleared, Yamcha was still standing, his body covered in burns and bleeding cuts, most of the top of his gi gone, but nowhere near out of the fight, "I'm not gonna..go down that easy", he taunted, blood running down his right arm. "Oh nice tough guy act, but you're in no position to try that at all. Look at you, half dead and only from one attack too. Don't worry though, I'll finish you off real good". "Hey!", Gohan yelled out. "You leave him alone right now! You bully!".
"Oh and what's a runt like you going to do, huh? Cry to his daddy?". With a battle cry, Gohan charged, his power level shooting up, not that Nappa knew this due to his inability to sense energy. He barely had time to react before the five year old's foot collided with his cheek with far more force than he anticipated, followed by a storm of punches to his chest and face that tossed him back and forth, finishing his charge by ramming Nappa into the rock formation behind him, leaving the Saiyan stunned and in pain as Gohan's power dropped to its base level. "Now!" Roshi cried out. "Kamehameha!", Krillin, Isuu, and Roshi, all fired their attacks at Nappa, the three becoming one. Nappa caught the attack with his hands, trying to push it back as he couldn't dodge. He found himself getting pushed back though, before becoming overwhelmed. The combined Kamehameha exploded in a brilliant flash of light, destroying the rock formation behind Nappa.
Piccolo hovered above the spot of his attack as he waited for the dust and smoke from the explosion cleared. "No way that was enough to finish her". A small red light through the smoke caught his attention. The light grew bigger and closer at a rapid pace. "Shit!", Piccolo flew left, evading the beam that soared past him. A stream of blasts shot straight at him, forcing Piccolo to evade as many as he could, taking a few glancing hits. His attention taken away, he failed to notice Tolas burst towards him, head first into his chest, taking his breath away and making his ribs creak. Wrapping her arms around his body, Tolas flew downwards towards the ground, intending to smash the Namek into it. However she was interrupted as Piccolo let out a burst of ki from his body, freeing himself from her grasp. Once again the female Saiyan shot right at the Namek, throwing a barrage of punches that were all blocked before she was kicked in the right side and knocked away. Stopping herself, Piccolo was charging her before disappearing from her sight. "Not this again" she grunted as she looked up, finding nothing. "Then behind" she realized too late. "Explosive Demon Wave!". The attack exploded against her back and destroying her armor. Turning around she retaliated with a blast of her own"Blood shot" she cried out as a large two handed blast fired from her hands. Crossing his arms, Piccolo blocked the attack. Tolas slipped under his guard and drove a hard uppercut into his jaw, then kicking him in the stomach, then flew away, charging a blast in her hand. Wrapping his hand around her leg he pulled her into a devastating right hook that knocked her away. Flipping in the air she caught herself. "This is getting nowhere real fast. I need to come up with something to beat her"Piccolo thought as he narrowed his eyes. "Thinking of something are we? Well it's useless anyways. You won't win". He glared, "we'll see about that". He charged again.
Nappa emerged from the rubble of the destroyed stone, eyes red with the purest of rage, body shaking, nostrils flared and teeth grit. "Damn it, I'm a Saiyan elite! How can low trash humans like you possibly be doing this to me?!"he charged at them. Roshi appeared in front of him, planting a knee into Nappa's nose, tossing his head back. Retaliating, he grabbed Roshi by the head and headbutted the old man. He went to hammer Roshi into the ground, but was interrupted by a foot to the face, sending him flying away, courtesy of the scarred bandit. Nappa got up again, even more pissed than before, if such a thing was possible. His eyes were red and his nostrils flared, fists clenched and shaking, teeth gritting. He was literally seeing red. "I'll, I'll crush you.", he hissed, eyes narrowed towards Yamcha and Isuu who took a few steps back. He went to charge again at the earthlings, "Nappa calm down!", he stopped and looked at Vegeta. "How do you plan to fight when you can't even see straight", Vegeta chided loudly, eyes showing disappointment. "Stop disgracing the Saiyans or I'll kill you where you stand", he threatened the brute. Taking a few deep breaths, Nappa regained control of his temper. "Thanks Vegeta, really needed that". Looking back at the humans he smirked confidently, his yellow aura flaring up, dark clouds rolling in fast and crackling with lightning. Grunting with effort the lighting struck him, engulfing him in a yellow light. The area was rumbling with the power he was putting out, the surrounding rock levitating around him as his power started rising fast. The clouds receded, going back to the blue skies that they were before. Nappa was covered in his aura. "Guys, what do we do now", Gohan asked, scared of the power in front of him. Krillin spoke up, "Well I've got something that might work, but you guys have to get his attention". "I've got a plan", Roshi said as he took the front position. "I'll take him head on, Yamcha and Gohan you take his flanks, and Isuu you get his back".
Having finished his power up, Nappa smirked at them confidently before disappearing in a burst of speed. "Where did he go", Yamcha and the rest looked around them. "Above us", Gohan cried out, alerting the rest. They all barely managed to roll out of the way of Nappa's boot that shattered the ground on impact. "Ah so close. Was gonna squash the kid like a bug". Krillin got a distance away, focusing energy into hand as the other four fighters surrounded the hulking Saiyan. Yamcha charged fist going for a sweep from the right that Nappa simply jumped over. Isuu charged from behind, but was to slow as Nappa turned around delivering an elbow directly to her jaw. Roshi and Gohan fired a Kamehameha and Masenko combination. The attack was useless however as Nappa punched it back at them, forcing them to seperate. Coming from the left this time, Yamcha aimed a punch to Nappa's jaw. Nappa leaned back dodging the attack, bringing his knee up into Yamcha's gut sending him into the air, then sending him back down the ground with an axe handle strike. A foot collided with the back of his head, courtesy of Isuu and Gohan, sent him a few feet. "I won't let you keep hurting my friends", Gohan said angrily. "Don't be reckless Gohan, you can't beat him alone", Isuu warned. "Hey good job, I felt that". Isuu rushed forward, Gohan right behind her. She kicked at Nappa who ducked out of the way, backhanding at Isuu who jumped back to avoid it. Gohan came from behind her, punching at Nappa's jaw but he was blocked. The small boy cried out in pain as Nappa tried to crush his hand. "Come on, you're a Saiyan, fight harder", Nappa taunted.
Using the distraction, Yamcha appeared in front of Nappa, driving his foot into his gut, taking the air from him and causing him to let go of Gohan's hand. Roshi flew up to Nappa, smashing his knee into Nappa's chin, sending him upwards into Isuu who hammered Nappa back to the ground.
"Krillin now!", Isuu yelled. "Got it", the monk yelled back. Hovering just above his hand was a razor sharp ki disk. "KIENZAN!", he flung the attack straight at Nappa who turned to see it, putting his hands out to catch the attack just as his powerup faded. "Nappa you blasted idiot, dodge!", Vegeta screamed at his subordinate. Hearing Vegeta, Nappa jumped to the right. He wasn't fast enough though as the razor sharp edge cut deep into his left arm. He hissed in pain, glaring daggers at Krillin, gripping his arm. The other three humans and the child saiyan watched the attack, "Good going buddy!", Yamcha yelled to his long time friend. Isuu cheered him on in her head, slightly red in the face.
"Y-you, how dare you!" using his good arm he charged an energy attack in his hand, "Die!". Krillin looked at the attack in fear as it closed in on him, he was to slow to move out the way and could only watch as it closed in on him.
Isuu watched in horror as the attack closed in on Krillin. "No!" she screamed as she flew down to Krillin to try and move him out of the way. "Not gonna make it!"
A figure appeared in front of him, and the attack was knocked away with a mere sweep of the hand. The attack exploded in the distance, vaporizing the mountain plane that it contacted. Isuu let out a sigh of relief, "oh thank god".
Another person landed next to the savior, "Sorry it took so long guys". Krillin looked at the two, "Tien! Goku".
