Kami's lookout,
Earth
"Okay, one huge power, and four smaller powers." Falling from Kami's Lookout Goku frowned. "No, that can't be right. There should be more."
Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, and Naruto. King Kai had told him that all seven of his friends were training hard to fight the Saiyans when they arrived. That was seven. He could only feel five. There should be nine total. Four people were missing which means. . .no!
Goku's teeth ground together as he clenched his jaw. "Three of my friends are dead."
And four more were up against the biggest energy he had ever felt.
Passing the top of the tower below the Lookout he called out to the cat who lived there.
"Hey, Korrin! Can you help me out?"
"Of course, take my last two sensu beans!" Korrin shouted back throwing two small beans through the air.
Catching them Goku threw one straight into his mouth.
"One for me," He said chewing on the bean as he tucked the other away inside his gi.
"And one for the others."
Flipping so he was falling feet first he shouted to the sky. "Now I have to hurry. I can feel another one of the energy levels dropping."
"Flying Nimbus!"
...
Thirty Minutes Ago,
"Alright, times up!" Nappa smirked. "And Kakarotts a no-show. The coward has some common sense at least. I'll give him that much. He knows when he's outmatched."
"Great, the big guy is talking again." Naruto rolled his eyes as he stood up and dusted his orange pants off.
He was getting tired of hearing that guys voice. If he was being honest he was getting tired of pretty much everything happening at the moment. All he wanted to do was beat the Saiyans so he could get back to the Lookout and have a very long conversation with Kami.
The guardian wasn't going to get away with tricking him into handing his dragon balls over. He could let a lot of things slide. But screwing him out of becoming human again wasn't one of them.
"Does everyone remember the plan?" Piccolo asked and Naruto nodded along with the other four remaining Z-fighters.
"Good, because we only get one shot at this. If we miss our first shot he is going to know what we're up to and act accordingly."
"Okay, enough whispering over there!" Nappa called as he unstrapped his armor letting it fall to the ground.
"It's time for all of you to die!"
"What is doing?" Krillin asked a blue ball formed in Nappa's hand and the bald Saiyan through it into the air.
Smirking Nappa clenched his fist as he shouted.
"Vegeta, you better look away. Burst open and mix!"
Naruto's eyes widened as the ball Nappa threw into the air exploded creating something resembling a moon. He understood what was happening.
"We have to stop him now!" He shouted at the others. "Before he transforms!"
"Dammit!" Following Naruto's lead Piccolo charged forward firing dozens of Ki blasts from his hands.
Behind them, the others did the same all of their attacks converging on Nappa who had started to grow.
...
Master Roshi's Island,
"It seems one of the aliens has transformed i. . .in. . .into a giant ape!"
"Oh no!" Watching as a beast the world had only seen twice that he knew of rose out of the smoke Master Roshi kept his eyes on the fight as the others in the house looked away from the screen.
He wished he could do the same, but he couldn't. His students were out there fighting against those monsters. All he had to offer was the confidence that they would succeed despite the Saiyans terrible transformation.
"This is horrifying folks." The camera shook as it focused on the giant laughing ape.
"Yet the mysterious fighters defending Earth do not seem to recognize the danger."
"They know more than you do." The turtle hermit frowned as Naruto appeared on camera flying straight at the apes face only to be swatted away like a fly.
"They just don't have the luxury of indulging their fear."
...
Landing hard in the dirt Naruto slid a good twenty feet before coming to a stop as he crashed into a boulder.
"Hahaha! You insects still want to fight?"
Sitting up as Nappa's deep voice caused winds to kick up around them Naruto spat out the dirt and grass in his mouth.
"There's no point. Our attacks didn't even faze him." Naruto grit his teeth as he climbed to his feet ignoring the horrible pain in his ribs. Nappa must have broken at least one when he slapped him away.
"Oh ho, blondies back up!" The massive ape was stomping around shaking the earth with every step as the others attacked him from all angles.
Staring up red eyes larger than cars Naruto spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Looks like Kami wasn't lying after all."
He had been making mincemeat out of the bald one before he transformed. Now, Nappa was taking all six of them with ease. The difference in their power levels was staggering.
Even with all of them added together the transformed Nappa's energy dwarfed theirs.
"We need to cut off his tail."
"We need to cut his tail off," Piccolo said landing next to Naruto purple blood dripping from his mouth.
"I don't think the big guy is going to give us another three hours to make a plan." Naruto head perked as large power level appeared on earth.
"Maybe with Goku here we will have a fighting chance."
Piccolo scoffed with a smirk. "So you feel it too? His energy is amazing, but not nearly as powerful as yours."
At any other time, Naruto would have reveled in those words, but at the current moment in time, it was a hollow victory. "Kami said King Kai was one of the strongest fighters in the universe. No way Goku only gained that much power after training with someone like that."
His old rival must be suppressing his real strength to keep the Saiyans in the dark. It was a good strategy.
Not something he would have expected from Goku. The Earth raised Saiyan had always been one to attack first and plan later.
"Nappa, hurry up and finish them off!"
"What!" Naruto head snapped towards Vegeta who was staring out into the distance his scouter back on his face. "Dammit, he must have picked up Goku's energy signature."
"There is a fairly substantial power reading heading our way," Vegeta growled crushing his scouter in his hand.
"If they all team up, even in your Oozaru form they could give you trouble."
Nappa tilted his massive head. "But what about the Namekian?"
"Kill him as well!" Vegeta shouted his patience vanishing completely. "I have a feeling if we put our green friend's home world next on our list of planets to visit we will get some answers."
"Heh, whatever you say, Vegeta." Looking around the battlefield Nappa's eyes settled on the three-eyed earthling.
"You die first!"
"Tien!" Naruto yelled as Nappa lifted one of his mountain-sized legs. "Move!"
His shouts were for nothing as Nappa despite his size moved faster than Tien leaving the three-eyed warrior no time to get away.
"Ah!" Screaming as the ape's foot came down Tien was pushed into the ground, thousands of pounds of pressure slowly crushing him to death.
"Tien!" Chiaotzu cried out as he felt the life force of his best friend fade from existence.
"You monster!"
Laughing as he lifted his foot Nappa stared down at the broken body of his second kill on this mud ball.
"I hope you other runts can put up more of a fight."
"Chiaotzu, no! Stay back!" Krillin watched horrified as Chiaotzu flew straight at Nappa.
"He'll kill you!"
"I'm coming, Tien." Chiaotzu latched onto Nappa's back. "And I'll be bringing this monster with me."
"He's going to kill himself." Naruto frowned as Chiaotzu closed his eyes still hugging tight to the fur on Nappa's back.
What was dying going to accomplish?
As his power reached its zenith Chiaotzu held tight as Nappa jumped around trying to shake him loose.
"Get off me you little bastard!" Trying to reach back Nappa growled realizing his arms couldn't reach the pest.
"Vegeta, blast him!"
Gritting as Chiaotzu exploded in a red haze Naruto cursed when Nappa didn't even flinch. Dammit, he knew it. Even in a suicide attack Chiaotzu just didn't have the raw power to kill one of the Saiyans.
"That idiot." Piccolo huffed in anger. Thanks to Chiaotzu's little stunt they were down to just four fighters. And they still had both Saiyans to fight against.
"Okay, who's next," Nappa asked rhetorically as he stomped towards Gohan and Krillin.
"How about you two, runts."
Energy filled the great ape's mouth as Nappa turned towards Gohan who was frozen in place, eyes filled with fear at the monster bearing down on him.
"Alright, this is it." Naruto floated from his hiding spot out into the open.
"Over here!"
If his plan didn't work Nappa was going to kill him. It was a simple as that. He wouldn't have the energy to stand against the Saiyan afterward. But what other choice did he have? Nappa's great ape transformation was out of his league.
"I'm going to crush you just like I did that three-eyed bug," Nappa growled focusing his attention on the blonde human that had made a fool of him.
"You bastards have caused us more than enough problems. And you'll pay for every one of them!"
Raising his hands Naruto spread his fingers wide in front of his face and squeezed his eyes shut.
"Solar Flare!"
Roaring as he was blinded Nappa covered his eyes with his massive paws.
"My eyes! You dirty, cheating, scum-sucking. . . bastard!"
"Multi-form!" Splitting his energy Naruto pushed one half out of his body gasping in exertion as his remaining energy was cut in half.
Turning to the single clone he had created Naruto nodded to the mountains below them.
"Hide yourself down there and wait for an opening to cut his tail off."
"You got it, boss." The doppelganger saluted and flew down into the mountains suppressing its energy until Naruto could barely feel it.
"Let's see if I can't end this without the clones help." Holding his palm to the sky Naruto grinned as Nappa continued to search for him despite being blind. It was a good thing the Saiyans didn't know how to sense energy levels.
"Destructo Disk!"
Smirking as Krillin's new move flew towards the Saiyan Naruto waited for Nappa to realize an attack was coming. The Solar Flare would be wearing off any second and he was counting on the transformed Saiyans ego to grant him his victory.
Nappa didn't disappoint.
Shaking his head as his eyes became focused once more Nappa held one arm up blocking the yellow disc with his forearm.
Or at least he tried to.
"Nappa! Dodge!"
Naruto eyes gleamed as Vegeta's warning came to late and his attack sliced through fur, skin, and bone cutting Nappa's massive arm off at the elbow.
"Ahh!" Staring at the bloody stump that used to be one of his limbs Nappa's roar of pain could have been heard miles away.
"You. . .you, bastard! You cut off my arm!"
"That's not the only thing I'm going to cut off." Naruto nodded to his clone who was now behind the ape creating a Destructo Disc of his own.
Flipping in the air so his back was to Nappa Naruto threw he hands out and shot two energy balls at Vegeta hitting the ground in front of the smaller Saiyan.
It was time to end this fight. He couldn't have Vegeta interfering again. Once Nappa's tail was gone the Saiyan would be weak enough for him to beat and hopefully he and the others could hold out against Vegeta long enough for Goku to arrive.
"Take this! Raahhh!"
"What!" Turning around Naruto crossed his arms in front of his face as the biggest blast of energy he ever saw came towards him. Grunting as the blast hit his shield pushing him back through the air.
Pushing more of his energy into the only thing keeping him from being incinerated Naruto watched as the green bubble of energy protecting him cracked. One small crack first, then another and another after that.
One by one, hundreds of small cracks eventually became a spider web of breaches in his defense.
"It's not going to hold." Naruto eyes grew wide as the shield that had never been compromised shattered and he was engulfed in a blast that could have decimated half the earth if Nappa wanted to.
"Hahaha! There won't be anything left of him after that." Nappa grumbled staring down at his severed arm that lay at his feet. "Wish I could have punished the runt a little more but, oh well. What's done is done."
"Destructo Disc!"
"What!" Looking over his shoulder Nappa's red eyes locked onto another yellow disc as it flew towards his midsection. "Not this time!"
Jumping into the air Nappa smirked as the disc passed under him. "You missed!"
"One more time!" Appearing above Naruto cupped his hands at his side. He could feel it inside him. This was going to be his last attack.
Breathing heavily as blood dripped from his hairline and mouth he coughed as his broken ribs, or ribs, he didn't know ached. The top right half of his gi was gone, destroyed by Nappa's attack leaving his burned and bleeding skin on display.
"Ka...me...ha...me...Ha!" Thrusting his cupped hands forward he aimed his strongest attack and Nappa's eye as his clone on the ground created yet another Destructo Disc and threw it forward aiming for the Saiyans tail.
"Destructo Disc!"
Smirking through bloodied teeth as the two attacks converged on the great ape Naruto watched as both attacks hit home.
His Kamehameha wave pierced the monkey's eye and his clones Destructo disc sliced through the bastards tail.
"Gotcha, you son of a bitch." Floating back to the ground as Nappa slowly shrunk back down to his normal size Naruto blinked as black dots started popping up around him.
He was losing consciousness. The Saiyans really were incredible fighters. He hadn't even been hit a dozen times and it felt like he was nearly dead.
