A/N in case you haven't guessed, italics means thinking and unless specified otherwise, it means Gohan's thoughts, or whosever perspective the story is being told from, i.e. if the story is focused on Videl and what she's doing, than italics will be her thoughts unless I say otherwise. Also, sorry about the short chapter last time.

"Well, I guess it's time for you pathetic humans to die," growled one of the two Saiyans on the ground.

"Please, no! What did we ever do to you?" cried one of the men.

"Nothing, you're just in the way," replied the Saiyan.

No! I can't let this happen! Gohan thought to himself.

"Leave them alone!" the young demi-Saiyan shouted as he stepped into view.

"And just who are you?" inquired the stronger of the two Saiyans.

Better stay under cover. "Call me Saiyaman," replied Gohan.

"Ha ha! Saiyaman! How ridiculous!..."

As the Saiyan babbled, Gohan took a moment to analyze the situation. All three Saiyans had scouters over their left eye. The two on the ground were very weak, almost nothing for Gohan, and Raditz was stronger, but still no threat to the demi-Saiyan. Goten could probably take out all three of these guys without a problem. Gotta get them away from those other guys though. And those scouters are an issue. They're linked, so if I power up, everyone else with one will know I'm here. Better take 'em out now.

With that, he released a little of his power and darted forward, faster than anyone present could see. He reappeared in between the two Saiyans on the ground facing the opposite direction. His left hand lashed out in a knife hand attack, destroying the scouter of the man on his left, sending him sprawling into a nearby building. Simultaneously, Gohan's right foot latched around the ankle of the Saiyan on his right and pushed it forward, causing the man to turn toward Gohan. The demi-Saiyan then struck the man's scouter with his right elbow sending him careening into another building.

"What the..?" exclaimed Raditz, but his comment was cut short as Gohan threw a small ball or ki into his scouter, destroying it as well. "How dare you? You little punk! Get him!" Raditz yelled. The two other Saiyan immediately obeyed, blasting towards the demi-Saiyan.

Well, Raditz seems to be the leader. Hmm… These guys are here to hurt people, something I can't allow. I hate to do it, but I'm gonna have to end this, permenantly.

With that, Gohan reached across his body with his left hand and grabbed the Saiyan coming up on his right; Gohan swung the warrior around to his other side, placing the other man between himself and the second Saiyan. Placing his right hand on the back of the Saiyan he was holding, Gohan fired a ki beam straight through the unfortunate man, and into the other, killing them both instantly. The bodies of the two now-dead Saiyans hit the ground with a dull thud.

In the ski above Gohan, his uncle Raditz stared in disbelief.

"How? How is this possible?"

"Leave now Raditz," Gohan replied,"leave now before I kill you."

"NO! I am a Saiyan! I will not back… OOOF!" Raditz' declaration was cut short by Gohan's fist imbedding itself in his stomach. The Saiyan Elite fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

"Leave now Raditz," Gohan repeated.

"Fine. You've won for now, but I'll be back. Gietz just finished his coming of age ceremony, and is on his way back, and Prince Vegeta is with him."

Huh? Why is Vegeta Prince again? and who the heck is Gietz?

"Go!" commanded Gohan.

Needing no further urging, the injured Saiyan flew away.

Gohan re-suppressed his energy, in an attempt to hide from any other scouters in the area.

"Hey! Thanks man!" cried one of the men Gohan had saved, "We all owe you our lives!"

"Yeah, thanks. Say, what's you name?" asked another.

Gohan, remembering he was still hiding who he was, replied, "I am Saiyaman."

"Saiyaman huh? What the heck kinda crazy name is that?"

"Who cares?" the first man asked, "he saved our lives!"

"Good point."

"Hey, don't mention it about the whole life-saving thing, its what I do," said Gohan, "Do you guys have a safe place to stay? I wouldn't want you out here alone with these crazy guys running around."

"Yeah we do. We've learned to find shelter in crazy places. First with the androids and all, now these Saiyans, we've learned to be pretty resourceful. We were actually heading back to our base of sorts when they ambushed us. We had been out collecting some supplies," the apparent leader said, indicating the packs the men had on, "You should come back with us. It's the largest refugee camp we know of, and we could always use some good defenders, and you fit the bill."

Hmm… Being in the center of local civilization would certainly make it easier to find out what the heck's going on, not to mention get something to eat.

"Sure, why not. Lead the way gentlemen!" answered the demi-Saiyan.

"Great! Its this way!"

And they were off.

A/N what do you think so far?

Let me know, that's what the little button at the bottom is for.

Oh, and is it just me, or is it freaking annoying to deal with spell check what writing DBZ fics, or any anime fics for that matter?
