Chapter Nine: With Our Eyes

Naomi looked into the saiyan Nappa's pure black eyes and all she saw in them was malice. He was after blood and didn't care who he took it from. Even with the numbers on their side the pure untapped hatred spewing from Nappa was startling. They'd have to be careful. Unlike in training they could actually…die this time. Before so much as a whisper of a battle plan could be voiced by any of the trio Nappa charged. He was incredibly fast for his bulky size. As soon as Naomi blinked he was right in front of her. Hideo knocked her out of the way and blocked Nappa's upcoming punch with both of his arms across his face. It knocked him back a bit but he managed to stay on his feet.

Kaylynn wasted no time and jumped behind Nappa. Charging a powerful kick to his side. It didn't effect him at all. Instead Nappa grabbed her foot and pulled her off balance then slung her to where she was now crashing into Naomi and both girls landed hard on the ground. Great if this was a battle that came down to ki attacks again it probably wouldn't go over well. Between the three they didn't know much and could quickly and easily run out of Ki leaving three saiyan sized punching bags for the fiend to play with. Hideo was the next victim of the oversized brutes attack. Nappa punched and kicked at him mercilessly. Hideo was barely able to dodge let alone throw out a counter attack. Now what? As he dodged Kaylynn jumped back to her feet as did Naomi.

"Hideo. Move!" Kaylynn shouted and that was much easier said then done but as the attack continued he noticed Nappa kept doing the attacks in the same pattern. Now he was able to follow it. As Nappa went to throw another punch Hideo dropped to the ground, catching himself with his arms then threw all his weight and momentum in his legs to send a double kick into the older saiyans gut. He grunted and stumbled back, so Hideo flew as good distance away. Allowing his sisters to charge their ki attacks and send them at the unguarded Nappa. The force from both attacks collided with him and made a small explosion that sent them all back a bit.

They held their breath hoping in vain the attack had worked. When the smoke cleared as expected still stood Nappa. Sporting a wide grin. Chunks of his armor had been blasted off but on the man himself not even a scratch was seen. Naomi gulped. Was this guy made of steel?

"How cute. You three must just be beginning eh?" Nappa said walking towards the girls. "It's obvious. I think some earthlings here could kick your ass. What a waste of saiyan genes. Yet I am the one dead and you little twerps are fine? I don't really find that fair do you? Let's fix that." Nappa smirked then lifted only his index and middle fingers in the upward direction and before they could blink they were surround by a massive explosion. Wide and powerful enough to destroy an entire city. Kaylynn blocked the best she could but what can you do when there was nothing but flame and ki surrounding her?

She and Naomi had landed on the ground with a crater like hole around them. The force of the blast alone made them weak, now when Kaylynn tried to get to her feet she felt her knees shake in protest. She looked around and spotted Nappa but couldn't find Hideo! Oh no…was he…Hideo was the one closest to Nappa at the time. Blood trickled down the huge gash on her forehead. If she lost to anymore blood she would be useless and pass out. She looked over to Naomi who was a live but hadn't budged yet. What the hell was Vegeta and Goku thinking? This guy was a monster! Even combined they couldn't beat him…but she had to. She swore her loyalty to this planet and swore to protect it no matter the cost. So that's what she was going to do. Losing wasn't an option.

She had to get him away from Naomi to give her time to recover. So she leapt off the ground and flew towards him. Landing only a few feet from him.

"Is that the best you got?" she smirked. Blood got into her eye but didn't so much so wipe it away. She had a plan. From what she gathered of this guy he wasn't very bright. If he over powered her she had to use that as an advantage. "I get my ass kicked worse in training everyday. Your going to have to better then that." Please work…please work.

All while their students were fighting for their lives Vegeta and Goku lounged in Vegeta's front yard. Laying back on some lawn chairs and sipping on a fruited drink Bulma had left in a pitcher in the fridge. They could sense the kids battle so strongly from where they were they might as well had been there to see it.

"You know, it's beautiful days like today that make me thankful to be alive." Goku said dreamily staring up at the sky. Only a cloud or two was seen where they were. A gentle breeze whipped through his hair and tickled his nose. Days like this reminded of him growing up with Grandpa Gohan. From his memory he rarely remembered there being rain or snow. Just sunshine and warmth.

Trunks ran out of the house. He had finally sensed the fight and wondered what on earth could be happening. He had never sensed that kind of power before.

"What is going on?!" he asked urgently. Wondering why his father and Goku were just laying back while obviously there was a threat out there. Goku looked at him happily while Vegeta kept his eyes closed.

"Oh hey Trunks. Long story." Goku laughed lightly. "There was an outbreak in hell. I got it taken care of but an old enemy of ours Nappa kinda just slipped past me. Hideo, Naomi and Kaylynn are fighting him right now." Trunks thought about it. This enemy was obviously before his time but he knew he heard his father mention Nappa before. He was the saiyan Vegeta had arrived on earth with.

"The saiyan? He broke out of hell? And you're letting them fight him alone?!" Trunks asked with his mouth a gape. Vegeta had been hard on him growing up with all his vigorous training but hell, he;d never have let him fight someone like that alone. Well they weren't alone but they were still so early in training and was fighting and expert who no doubt held a grudge.

"They'll be fine." Vegeta said boredly yet to open his eyes. Simply sitting and basking in the warm sun. Trunks couldn't believe what he was hearing. They weren't even supervising for hell's sake.

"I've got to help them." Trunks announced then proceeded to power up. His think lavender hair turning into the golden yellow of his super saiyan form. He leapt into the air to fly to their aid but Vegeta reached out and gripped the ankle of his boot and before he knew it he was falling on top of his lawn and smacking his face on the grass. He looked angrily back at his father who still held him by the boot. Jerk didn't even get up from his seat.

"Oh, no you don't. This is their battle you will not interfere." Vegeta said in the voice Trunks knew all to well. Nothing he could do or say would change his father's mind at this point.

"What if they get hurt! You want to be just laying around when their very lives could be in danger?!" Trunks shouted his protests but Goku stood by him now and lifted the younger saiyan to his feet.

"Ah Trunks don't think of it that way. I know we may seem extreme sometimes but we would never leave them in a fight we didn't already know they would win. Nappa's tough sure, and a lot stronger then they are but they will win. I have no doubt in my mind. Besides they are so far behind when it comes to you and Goten it's hard for them to catch up. They need this battle experience on their own. I mean you and Goten were left to fight Buu when you were only eight remember? They didn't have the opportunity's to get stronger at that age and now all that power they have in them lies dormant so we need to be extreme to help them wake it up. You understand?" Goku smiled and put his hand on Trunks's shoulder.

Trunks sighed and calmed himself back down from super saiyan. They were right…and the only thing the visitor saiyans desired was to be stronger and reach super saiyan for themselves. He took a seat next to Vegeta on the grass and waited. Telling himself if he felt even the slightest decrease in any of their life forces he could charge to them rather anyone liked it or not.

It was just Kaylynn and Nappa now. She moved as quick as she could as she was forced on the defensive as Hideo was when Nappa charged him. Mistakenly she thought to block one of his punches instead of merely dodging. The sickening pop of her left arm breaking was what announced her mistake. She gritted her teeth to stop the scream of pain but it escaped despite. To stunned by the pain that managed to take over her entire being she slumped down to her knee's. completely at the mercy of her attacker who was getting closer and closer. She gripped her bad arm with her one working good arm and was more angry at herself then afraid. What a stupid choice of course the sheer force of one of the brute's blows would break her arm. When Nappa was in front of her he took a chunk of her thick hair in his hand and lifted her up to eye level. Through squinted eye's she saw his beady eyes leering at her. He took a moment to examine her. His eye's stopping on her tail before returning his gaze to her deep purple eyes.

"You are a saiyan. What a shame you must die here. I didn't think any saiyan women survived. You would have been perfect to breed with were you not so weak." Nappa said with a grin showing his stained straight teeth. Catching a whiff of his breath made Kaylynn wanna hurl. Smelled like a mixture of rotten meat and soured milk.

"Charming." she said flatly. A smirk showing on her face. Not even with death only seconds away not an ounce of fear showed in her eyes. She wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction.

"Your mistake to begin with was trusting Vegeta to train you! That bastard killed me! After years of blindly following every order he gave to me. At the first sign of weakness he disposed of me like I was trash! Be thankful I end your life girl or he'd do it himself one day. No need to thank me, all in a days work." Nappa said then pulled his fist back to deliver his final blow but the sound of Kaylynn's laughter stopped him. Causing his eyebrows to fold in a scowl. He laughed even harder then smirked. In his distraction Kaylynn used both her broken and non broken arm's to send power up all the ki she had left into one attack. She collided her hands together and screamed "FINAL FLASH!"

At that the blast hit Nappa at point blank range. Causing him to let go of her and fall back in pain. Landing a good twenty to thirty feet away from her. This time her ki attack had done the trick and Nappa was paralyzed with pain. His body had absorbed all of the attack and that close it was luck it didn't knock him out. Kaylynn straightened up with the smirk still shown on her face. The doofus had rambled on long enough for her to power the attack just like she had planned. Only problem now was her broken arm felt like it had been dunked in a barrel of acid then set on fire. She struggled to even move it but the pain stung to bad. She'd have to finish the battle with only one arm. So be it.

"I learned that from Vegeta you bastard." she yelled watching Nappa stumble to his feet. If she thought he was mad before seeing the saiyan's infuriated face confirmed in was running on pure rage now. The rain started to pour even harder, washing the blood from her face and arms. It stung her wounds but was refreshing on her overheated bosy all at the same time.

"You little bitch! That was a dirty trick!" Nappa yelled back and powered up a ki attack off his own. Kaylynn scowled and prepared to dodge. As she was about to jump out of the way Hideo appeared out of no where and kicked Nappa in the head and forcing him back to the ground. With Nappa still in under his boot he looked up at Hideo who had the same arrogant smirk that Kaylynn wore.

"Surprise!" he shouted and with Nappa pinned he sent a ki attack of his own at him. Hideo jumped before it exploded, in fear of getting struck by his own attack. He landed where he was side by side with Kaylynn.

"Hideo! Your alive!" Kaylynn sighed with relief. Even in the heat of battle her mind kept flashing to Hideo in worry. Hideo laughed.

"Of course I am. I just took a little nap under…that rubble over there is all." Hideo said gesturing with his head to a pile of rocks and tree branches that were scattered about when Nappa unleashed his explosion. Looking at Hideo he had more scrapes and bruises then she had probably due to being hit by all the rocks and rubble. Nappa got up yet again. This guy just wouldn't go to down but it was reassuring to see all the blood trickling down his body and staining his hideously broken armor. Only a shoulder pad and a fraction of his torso armor remained.

"Why you!" Nappa shouted and now made his may towards Hideo. Yet again he was interrupted by the sting of a ki blast hitting him from behind. Whipping around he saw Naomi was fully conscious and back on her feet yet again. Another successful Kamehameha from Naomi. She grinned.

"Alright guys let's try this again." Hideo smirked at seeing all his siblings were a live and well. He charged Nappa and Kaylynn followed close to him. Naomi attacking the opposite side of Nappa. Now it was a much different pace. Nappa was the one struggling to keep up. He had endured a lot of damage at one time and he hadn't quite recovered yet. If he wasn't careful he would lose his chance for vengeance that he longed for since he met his end. Still dodging and blocking all the fists flying at him was becoming increasingly difficult. He charged a ki explosion forcing the teen's off him so he could get a chance to catch his breath and collect himself.

"Yo, check it out I got a plan. Think you can do one more ki attack each? I think if we all collide ours we'll finally be free of this prick's presence." Hideo whispered to his sisters. Naomi nodded already embarrassed she had been knocked out half of the fight. If it's what was needed to send Nappa back to hell she would do it if it killed her. Kaylynn however was reluctant. What they didn't seem to realize was she was the one doing most the fighting in this match for their side and she was incapable of using her left arm.

"I'm not sure…I put everything in the final flash I did earlier." Kaylynn whispered. Feeling weak also sending her into a new rage. One stupid attack and she was useless. Nappa was right, she was a waste of saiyan genes. Hideo however seemed impressed.

"You pulled off a final flash?" he questioned with a hint of pride gleaming in his black eyes. Recalling they had only seen the attack once when Vegeta was showing them a "useful" ki attack compared to their petty one's. Kaylynn nodded weakly. "Nice, not that it would impress that asshole." he added referring to their more brutal teacher.

"Just one more Kaylynn. I know you can do it. You know you can do it, and hopefully afterwards we can go home." Hideo urged. Kaylynn got her second wind at his words and took a fighting stance, her left arm hanging lifeless at her side. "I'll try." At that the three attacked in unison again. Nappa was getting tired of this dance and decided to do a repeat of his great explosion attack to keep the saiyan teens off him. Only instead of the punch assault in mid attack the girls jumped to either side of him. Naomi sending a kamehameha on his left and Kaylynn a full powered ki blast on the right. The beams collided keeping Nappa frozen in the crossfire. The girls held it as long as they could. Hideo jumped in front of Nappa with attack of his own burning in his hands.

"Time to go back to hell you bastard. See you there in about fifty years or so and we can start this again yeah?" Hideo smirked then threw his attack at Nappa. The three different colored energy engulfed Nappa and ignited when infused together. Sending an even more massive explosion then the one Nappa had preformed. Luckily they expected it this time and flew as fast as they could away from it. The light from the blast was almost blinding and Naomi felt tears fall from her eyes. She shut them out of fear of them being fried out of her skull. In what felt like forever everything returned to normal and the smoke that choked their lungs vanished. Not sign or whisper of Nappa being on earth anymore. They waited and searched frantically, just incase the presumed invincible Nappa was merely unconscious or hiding somewhere. When they were certain he was gone Kaylynn fell back on her bottom before laying on her back. The rain splashing off her face and now she couldn't differentiate if the wet spots in her martial arts uniform was blood or rain. She smiled. She was so weak she couldn't even fly back to Vegeta's if her life depended on it. Yet they had one and that fact alone kept her at peace. Naomi picked her up and wrapped her good arm around her shoulder. Holding on to her tight as she began to hover in mid air.

"Well…that's the end of that." Hideo said. Not exactly sure what the hell kind of lesson they were supposed to learn or what the hell ever. Every breath he took stung thanks to the incredible amount of black smoke he had inhaled. "Now…let's go discuss the battle with our loving masters." he grunted. Wishing he had the power to actually do something about it but they were all knocking on deaths door and he was certain Vegeta was more then happy to kick him through said door at the slightest sign of rebellion.

As they flew in Kaylynn's half conscious state a thought crossed her mind. One that both chilled her and she felt the need to voice.

"Hey…what exactly is a super saiyan…?" she asked. All this time that was the goal and they had never seen it. Was it a transformation or was it just what one called themselves after reaching a certain level of power? For all she knew both Vegeta and Goku had been super saiyan a thousand times in their training and would have never known. Hideo seemed to be just as shocked as Kaylynn at realizing this.

"I uh…it's like a transformed saiyan right? A transformation? Didn't someone say that?" Hideo asked. Naomi just shrugged while still carrying Kaylynn. "I…don't know." she answered meekly. The three discussed this the entire way to Capsule Corp. When they landed on the lawn drenched in rain and blood, Vegeta finally opened his eyes to greet them.

"Ah, finally. I was wondering when you'd drag your feet back here. I take it Nappa kept weaklings like you entertained? Vegeta smirked but none of the three students responded. Vegeta saw the determined look on their faces and chuckled thinking they were angry at them for leaving them to battle the elder saiyan on their own. Trunks ran over to Kaylynn who was on her knee's on the grass. She looked beaten and bloodied within an inch of her life. He gripped the side of her face and was shocked when he saw his finger tips were covered in her blood.

"Kaylynn are you okay?!" He asked her both in concern and anger. He knew this little "training exercise" was going to far. Kaylynn heard him but didn't answer. Nor did she look at him or Goku who was hurriedly grabbing senzu beans from his pouch for each of them. Instead her violet eyes burned into Vegeta's coal one's. Even with Goku's hand in front of her face bearing a senzu bean she didn't break eye contact. Instead she decided to reply with.

"We want to see it." Vegeta stood and now his eyes flashed with anger.

"What are you rambling on about stupid girl? Take the senzu bean before you fall dead in front of us and we have to gather the dragonball's to revive your stubborn ass." Vegeta ordered prepared to shove it down her throat if need be. She was still pouring out an obscene amount of blood and even without being there he could tell her arm was broken.

"I said, I want to see it." Kaylynn repeated. Ignoring Goku and standing back on her feet. Out of respect her siblings hadn't taken their senzu beans yet. Just as anxious as she though in truth Hideo would never talk to Vegeta like that. He imagined himself turning to a pink mist as a response. "Super Saiyan. We want to see it. I get we need to master the basic's or what the hell ever but we deserve to see it with our own eyes before continuing our training." Kaylynn continued.

"You got some nerve demanding anything from me girl." Vegeta said angrily. Doing his trademark by folding his arms across his chest. "Now heal yourself and we'll talk about it."

"No." Kaylynn answered and even Trunks flinched. He had gotten in arguments with his father before but never had he flat out refused to listen to him like that. Vegeta scowled and was about to yell something back before Goku quickly said

"Kaylynn, we will show you our super saiyan forms after you take the senzu bean but only after you take it. Rather you realize it or not your in critical health and were not going to risk your safety just because you are anxious to see it." he said defusing the situation. His voice alone managed to reach both a caring and firm one all at once. Kaylynn grunted and snatched the bean from Goku's hand. Only chewing it once before swallowing to get it over with. Though she'd never admit it she was thankful for the soothing relief it provided. Her siblings happily took theirs next. Goku smiled.

"Anyway, great job guys. We knew you can do it. See what you did? You just saved the earth." Goku said proudly. Naomi sighed.

"Not really you guys would have just came in and beat him if we'd have lost or died or something." Naomi said in a defeated voice but Goku laughed lightly.

"That's true but you have to remember were not always going to be around forever and the victory was yours not ours. Give yourselves more credit, even Trunks and Goten would have struggled at the power Nappa had. He was much stronger this time around then when he was a live." Goku encouraged. He turned to Vegeta who was still scowling at Kaylynn. Kaylynn was to happy to move her left arm again and that she was finally about to see what a true super saiyan was to care. "Ready Vegeta?"

"Hmph. I still think you are catering to them Kakarot. The second we start taking order's from our students the weaker they will become." Vegeta said but moved to stand next to Goku.

"Oh come on Vegeta it was a reasonable request. I got to caught up in being able to train them I let super saiyan slip my mind." Goku admitted smiling. In seconds his face changed from the smiling cheery one to his blank pokerface. Next thing Kaylynn knew her body was trembling at the amount of power that was coming from her saiyan masters. It was like a thousand different Nappa's all together. Goku and Vegeta let out their loud battle crys and everything changed.

Their Auras and hair was now a golden yellow color and their hairstyles changed as well. Vegeta's not as much as Goku's. His hair went from uneven and spikey to straight up like the folds in the spikes met and stayed stuck together. Only one golden bang falling over his eye which was now turquoise. Flashes of blue lightning circled in their aura and their muscles bulged but not enough to be a hindrance or slow them down. A smirk not only on Vegeta's face but on Goku's as well at seeing the teen's jaws drop. The pure strength and power coming from them was almost painful. Like their young bodies and minds couldn't fathom such a power possible. If their was any doubt in Kaylynn's mind before it vanished. Looking at them she knew…she was in the presence of greatness.

"Satisfied?" Vegeta mocked looking at Kaylynn's dumbfounded face. She just nodded. Hideo thought they were invincible before seeing this. Now he was certain if Goku so much as sneezed on him he's crumble to the ground. Naomi's eyes couldn't leave Goku. He looked…perfect. Like he was born to be in that form. The body he normally walked in being nothing but a mask he had to wear or else mountains would fall at the mere sight of him in fear.

"This is your goal guys." Goku said calmly. His smirk becoming a smile. "We did it. Now you guys can too one day. I know this."

The gesture was enough. Now the teens were more battle ready then ever. Determined to stand next to their master's one day in the same transformed state. To truly protect the earth on their own without even considering the aid of Goku and Vegeta. After the display was done they prepared happily to return to training. Silent bet's amongst themselves on who would reach super saiyan first.

Goku and Hideo was ready to return to Goku's house for training but Kaylynn had an agenda of her own. She politely asked them to wait as she rushed inside. Muscle memory leading her without thought to the gravity room where Vegeta would be. She felt the need to apologize for her behavior but it was as though she had to be that way to get anything she wanted out of the man. When she was inside the Gravity room Vegeta was fiddling with the controls to figure out what setting to test Naomi in next. She was currently in her room changing her tattered clothing which was pointless since the new one she changed in would just get torn as well. Still Kaylynn was thankful for her absence since it allowed her to apologize to Vegeta in privacy. When she entered the room Vegeta turned to look at her then went back to what he was doing. Not a word left his lips. She found herself angry at the man for this so it made the apology come out wrong to say the least.

"Can you speak?" the words left her mouth before she could stop it. Damnit Kaylynn you are here to make amends not start another fight she told herself but it was to late.

"Can you follow orders?" Vegeta retorted. His voice didn't suggest anger. More genuine curiosity.

"Can you?" DAMNIT STOP THAT! Kaylynn scolded herself. Vegeta chuckled darkly.

"Bah, no one is left in the universe with the power to command me." Vegeta replied angrily this time. Kaylynn hated talking to the back of his head so she moved closer to him.

"Look, I'm sorry about earlier. Your right it is not my place to tell you to do anything. I'm here to learn from you not vice versa. Forgive me for forgetting my place." He was silent for a good while before letting out a deep sigh.

"The fault lies with me as well. Had I shown you from the start you wouldn't feel the need to act like a brat. At least your infuriating stubbornness provides you strength and relentlessness your weak hearted kin lack in. Know there is only so many times I will look the other way on the other hand before personally reminding you your place." Vegeta answered looking into her eyes at the end to show he wasn't joking. Kaylynn smiled. She took it as his way for giving her a compliment. He seemed to know more about the saiyan race and what drove them then Goku. She wished she could know what he knew.

"What else can you tell me?" Kaylynn found herself asking. "About our race?"

"I…" Vegeta started filling loss for words. She seemed more curious about the saiyans then any of the one's on earth ever were. He was swelled with pride at her persistence on the knowledge. "What is it you want to know? Understand I was a small boy when the planet met it's destruction."

"Anything you can tell me." Vegeta looked into Kaylynn's violet eyes and that alone reminded him of something.

"Your eyes. They were rare on our planet. Anyone with the same colored eyes as you were always born in the super elite class. Were our planet to have survived you would have been a leader in our army or an honored guard for the king." Vegeta said. A brief thought entered his head. Since he would have been king one day had their planet survived he would still have met Kaylynn for this. Even in the largely populated planet.

"Cool." Kaylynn smiled. Feeling proud.

"It explains how you managed to fight with a broken arm and not die. Violet eyed saiyans seemed to heal quicker then the rest. You have a lot of power in you girl. Realize it and use it or else you will severely disappoint me." Vegeta sighed.

"I will. I swear it. What else?"

"Let's see…" Vegeta thought. "Even without tail's we can draw energy from the moon. More so when it's full. If you find yourself fighting by the moonlight use it to heal yourself or to get a power boost. I can show you how the next full moon." Vegeta more ordered then offered but Kaylynn was quickly realizing that was just his way. A few more words were said and then Kaylynn departed. Vegeta found himself thinking what life would have been like were he the king of Planet Vegeta with Kaylynn as his personal guard. He shook it off in an instant. Wondering why the idea even entered his mind. Stupid girl.
