11. Saiyan Arc: Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Upa let out an Indian war cry as he flew towards his little, green opponent. The sabiaman screeched as it neared the dark haired youth and struck out with its clawed hand trying to make the first strike of the fight. Upa dodged the attack and then feinted like he was going to try and punch the sabiaman but instead used a kiai. The force of the clear, white energy sent the little monster sprawling backwards, flipping several times in the air since it had no control over its body. The sabiaman was able to recover though and managed to land on its feet several yards away from its human opponent.

The human fighter decided to press his advantage and began to chase down the ugly sprouthead. The sabiaman cackled when he saw the charging human and a small crevice in the middle of its head began to open up. Out of the opening in its head, the olive colored creature shot out a white liquid. Luckily, Upa saw the attack in time and quickly sidestepped the liquid and let it harmlessly pass by his body. The liquid continued past him though and headed straight for the rest of the fighters from Earth. They all jumped out of the way of the dangerous liquid except for Gohan who stood paralyzed directly where the liquid was heading. Gohan closed his eyes in fear as the white substance neared him, but as the liquid was about to hit he felt himself being lifted up by his collar and he was removed forcibly from the danger zone.

When he opened his eyes, Gohan looked up to see who his savior was expecting it to be his mom or dad. However he saw the familiar green skin and the disapproving look that he had grown accustom to for the past year. "You should pay more attention to what is happening Gohan," lectured his trainer. "The rest of us were able to move out of the way but you just stood there. Now look down and see what would have happened if I hadn't stepped in." Gohan looked over to where he had been standing to see that liquid had completely disintegrated the ground forming a ten foot long trench in the ground.

"Wow, thanks Mr. Piccolo." Gohan looked over to where the short bald man and the pale fighter were standing looking down at the newly formed trench. His mother was looking over at him and Piccolo while his dad and the scarred faced fighter had continued to watch the fight between Upa and the sabiaman.

Chi-Chi looked over at her child in horror. He had almost died, and she hadn't been able to protect him. If hadn't been for that evil green demon, her little baby would be a smoldering puddle right now. Maybe it was too dangerous for him to be out here, he was only five after all. The battlefield was no place for her precious baby. That's why she was her though so that she could protect her son at all cost. That was why she had trained up at the Lookout at first and then with Goku and Krillin, so that she could protect her only son from those awful saiyans.

After thinking about her son's welfare for a few moments, she began to think about the man who had saved him. She had been about to try and save Gohan when he had suddenly swooped in and rescued him from that acid. She thought that the green demon had no heart at least that was what she had thought when she had last seen him at the World Martial Arts Tournament. He had made it clear then that he didn't care if he hurt people, even trying to kill her then finance in the final match of the tournament. Back then he had seemed like his sire, pure evil whose only ambition was world domination and the enslavement of the human race. This belief had only been solidified when she had found out that the demon had kidnapped her son so that he could train him. During her training, she had often imagined that she was fighting the green demon. She was swooping in to rescue her son from his evil captor and punishing the wicked demon for ever messing with her family.

Her husband had told her that the demon had changed. That he was no longer evil and that he had done no harm to Gohan and that it was actually good for their child to be around that demon. She of course had not believed him. Her husband, while good natured, was often naïve when it came to other people's faults. He often assumed that everyone was as good hearted as he was and Chi-Chi knew that was not the case. It was one of the reasons that she had chosen to marry him at such a young age. Throughout all of her travels as a young girl she has never met someone as pure hearted as Goku and she had decided to marry him when she first met him. Despite of his pure heart though, Goku was not the best judge of other people's character. This was evident through his choice of friends, a former bandit, two former assassins, a pervert, and now a demon.

However the green fighter seemed different to Chi-Chi now and this was most evident through his interactions with the others. Her son was not cowering in fear like she had expected him to be when around the demon. He actually looked comfortable and it ease around his mentor and talked to the older warrior like he was a friend. The other fighters all did not seem nervous around him now and if anything it seemed as if they respected him more now than they feared him. And the way that he had selflessly acted to save Gohan, she had not expected to see the demon put himself in harm's way to protect her son. Maybe, in this one case, Goku had been right and she had indeed the judged the green warrior wrong. However, that didn't mean she wasn't going to still keep an eye on him.

While Chi-Chi was lost in her own thoughts, the rest of the warriors from Earth continued to watch Upa's battle with the sabiaman. After evading the acid, Upa had vanished and then reappeared right behind the sabiaman. The light green monster had tried to put some space between it and its human opponent by jumping high into the air. It seemed like the maneuver had worked until the sabiaman looked down and saw that the dark haired youth had vanished once again. The sabiaman looked around frenetically for its opponent until an elbow connected with its head and sent it spiraling towards the ground. The sabiaman crashed into the ground and lay still for a moment until it began to twitch as it struggled to stand back up. A cheer rose up from the defenders of Earth as the young fighter returned to the ground and began to walk towards their side of the battlefield.

"Wow Upa, those were some pretty sweet moves," said Krillin.

Goku nodded his approval and then added, "Yeah you were able to take that thing out in one hit. You had it completely outclassed, you've became a really good fighter. We're going to have to have a spar sometime!" Upa just smiled as he received praise from his fellow fighters.

"What impossible!" exclaimed the giant saiyan named Nappa as he watched the sabiamen twitch on the ground.

"Looks like you got hold of a pretty weak batch there Nappa," commented the flame haired saiyan coldly. "It didn't even put up a fight against that long haired human."

"No there all good," defended Nappa. "These are the same ones that survived that crazy battle on Tritic. He should have won! His fighting power is 1,200; all of the sabiamen have the same power level as Raditz."

The short saiyan named Vegeta simply nodded. "Now you see what I mean Nappa. The readings you took on your scouter are useless. These humans have obviously learned how to suppress their true fighting power until they actually need to use it. Do you understand what I am telling you?" Nappa nodded and the two saiyans returned their gaze to the struggling sabiaman who was trying to stand.

"Look Upa, that guy's getting back up," said Chiaotzu pointing his small finger towards the opponent Upa had thought he had dispatched. Upa turned back around and watched as the sabiamen finally managed to get up on his feet again. As soon as he did though a small energy blast was shot towards the little green man and the blast exploded on impact when it hit the sabiaman. The sabiaman was blown apart with pieces of the small alien falling to the ground where it had just been standing. All of the fighters from Earth looked over towards the saiyans to see the one called Vegeta with his hand raised and two of his fingers pointed towards the spot where the sabiaman had been standing. The short saiyan slowly lowered his hand as all of the Z fighters beside Piccolo looked at the saiyan with new found horror.

"He just killed one of his own guys, what kind of monster would do that?" said Goku angrily.

The flame haired saiyan simply smirked and then smugly said, "So who's going to fight next in our little tournament?"

The fighters from Earth all looked around to see who would be the next to volunteer and they were surprised when Chi-Chi was the one who stepped forward. She had a determined look on her face that Gohan recognized from when she had forced him to study when he had wanted to go outside and train with his dad. Gohan knew not to cross his mother when she had that look on her face.

"Chi-Chi or you sure?" asked a concerned Goku. "You don't have to fight if you don't want to. I'm sure Krillin or Yamcha would be happy to fight…"

"Goku I'm fighting," interrupted Chi-Chi. "One of those things tried to hurt my baby, and one of them is going to pay for that. Besides what was all that training for the past year for if I'm not going to fight? Trust me I'll be fine, one of those ugly sprouts isn't enough to take me down." She kissed her husband on the cheek and then turned towards the saiyans and the sabiamen.

A light bulb turned on in Vegeta's brain as he watched the interaction between Goku and his wife. "Kakarot, is that women your mate?" The flame haired saiyan laughed when he saw both Goku and Chi-Chi give him angry glares. "Ha-ha she is isn't she. Nappa get a load of this, Kakarot brought both his half-breed brat and his mate to fight for him."

The bald saiyan began to laugh as well. "It seems it's a family gathering. To bad we'll have to ruin it for them, right Vegeta."

Vegeta nodded and then pointed to one of the six remaining sabiamen. "You, you're up next. Make sure her death is long and painful, I want her to suffer." The sabiaman cackled and then walked towards his target. Goku glared at the short saiyan angrily while Vegeta just gave the saiyan from Earth an evil smile.

The female fighter and the little alien stood for a few seconds waiting to see which one would make the first move. The olive skinned alien was the first to move as he lunged towards his prey with his claws outstretched. The dark haired beauty ducked and the sabiaman went sailing overhead and landed behind her but quickly sprang back into action. The alien attacked by swiping its claws at the female fighter's face but Chi-Chi blocked both swings and then retaliated by tornado kicking at the green alien's head. The sabiamen ducked underneath the kick and tried to punch the female while her back was turned but was sent head first into the ground when Chi-Chi brought her leg around for another tornado kick which connected this time.

Remembering what happened to the last sabiamen that stayed down to long; this one quickly bounced back up and attacked the female with a furious barrage of blows. Chi-Chi was able to dodge most of the vicious attack, but the sabiaman was finally able to land several punches on the dark haired woman. Stunned by the blows, Chi-Chi was unable to defend herself when the slimy alien grabbed her wrist and threw her towards one of the pillars of rock that dotted the wasteland. She was able to regain control of her body and she was able to plant her feet on the side of the pillar. Chi-Chi then pushed off the pillar towards her green opponent and the sabiaman flew towards her and the two collided in mid-air, slightly shaking the ground from the force of the collision. The two fighters disengaged and then phased out of sight.

Piccolo watched as Goku's woman fought against the saiyan's little green minion at super fast speeds. He was impressed by the woman's abilities and she seemed to be in control of the fight as he watched the fight across the landscape of the wasteland. Every few seconds, the two opponents would collide and exchange blows and then they would disengage bouncing around the wasteland at high speeds before they would collide with each again.

"They vanished!" Piccolo looked away from the fight and down towards his young pupil. The boy was in a daze and looking around wildly to see where his mother and her opponent had gone. Piccolo shook his head momentarily and then decided to use those moment to teach us student more about the art of fighting.

"Nonsense, they are both just moving faster than the normal eye can see. You have to feel their energies moving."

"Feel their energies moving?" repeated a confused Gohan.

Piccolo nodded. "All of us are watching them right now except for you Gohan." Gohan opened his mouth to say something but shut it and began to try and focus his senses on finding the battle his mom was having with the green alien. "Don't try to focus on anything," advised Piccolo as he watched his young pupil. "Let your eyes go out of focus and try not to blink." The green mentor watched as his student as he slowly began to see the fight that was happening in front of him. Once he was satisfied that Gohan was now watching the fight as well, Piccolo turned his attention back towards the fight.

Chi-Chi and the sabiaman were locked in a particularly intense entanglement at the moment. Both of the fighters were floating in mid-air exchanging furious barrages of punches of kicks with each other. The two fighter's limbs were mere blurs because of the speed both were moving at. Many of each fighter's punches and kicks were hitting causing the recipients body to lurch awkwardly for a brief moment before they delivered their own hit. The two opponents continued to exchange blows in that fashion for almost an entire minute before Chi-Chi was able to drive her knee into the sabiaman's stomach which caused it to cough up phlegm. The blow stopped the sabiaman cold and left it at the mercy of the fierce female fighter who drove her elbow into the small alien's exposed back sending the sabiaman plummeting to the ground.

The little green alien was able to recover however before it hit the ground so it saw the female warrior's outstretched leg and grabbed hold of it. After spinning around once to gain some momentum, the alien released the woman's leg and sent her sailing up into the air in the direction of the sun where she was lost from sight because of the sun's blinding glare. The small alien pursued its target but was surprised when it could find no sign of the female warrior. The sabiaman looked around frantically for its missing foe but it didn't have to wait long since Chi-Chi's boot smashed into the side of its head and sent it crashing into one of the tall pillars of rock. The entire pillar collapsed on top of the dazed sabiaman, completely obscuring it from view. The fierce female warrior landed on the ground, tired but triumphant and a cheer rang out from the other Z fighters congratulating her on a brilliantly fought battle.

Vegeta didn't even wait to see if the sabiaman had survived the kick to the head and subsequent collapse of the pillar of rocks on top of it. He blasted the pile of rocks into oblivion in a second while Nappa yelled at the remaining sabiamen in anger, frustrated by the lack of success the plant people were having against the humans. It was infuriating to think that Kakarot's mate has almost completely dominated that fight and disposed of yet another sabiaman, those things were expensive. The short saiyan quickly calmed himself though and then set about calming his comrade.

"Calm down Nappa, think about it this way. The less they kill, the more we get to kill personally." Vegeta smirked as he noticed Nappa's expression brighten almost immediately.

"Hey, yeah Vegeta your right, I actually don't mind having to get my hands dirty on this one. It's been awhile since I've had a good fight. Besides these battles aren't half bad, especially that last one."

The flame haired saiyan nodded. "Yes, Kakarot's mate fought fairly decently for a female. Kakarot must have taught her a move or two."

While the two saiyans talked, the defenders of Earth all celebrated Chi-Chi's victory. Goku gave his wife a huge hug and then a kiss and said, "I don't think I've ever loved you as much as I do right now Chi."

Chi-Chi at first accepted her husband's embrace but then she exclaimed, "Okay Goku that's enough for now, I think you're breaking my ribs." Goku let his wife out of his death grip and then let out a nervous laugh.

"Okay that's enough of that," announced Vegeta. He had watched the earthling's celebration for a grand total of three seconds before he had grown sick of it. "Which one of you fights next?" The saiyans waited for a few seconds and saw that no one else had stepped forward yet.

"Alright have it your way," said Nappa breaking the brief silence. "We'll have a free for all!"

Piccolo shrugged and then cracked his knuckles. "That's fine by me."

Krillin quickly stepped forward. "No, I'll go next." He then turned to the rest of the fighters and said, "We still have to buy some more time for Tien. Let's keep playing their little game and fighting those thing one by one. I don't think any of us will have a problem beating them so we don't we use the opportunity to stall for some more time."

The rest of the fighters all nodded and Piccolo just shrugged his shoulders. As Krillin was about to step forward to fight, Yamcha suddenly stepped beside him. "Hold on Krillin. If we're going to keep doing this silly game, then I'll take my turn now. I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun. What do you say Krillin, I'm really anxious to show these goons what we're really all about down here on this plant."

The short, bald fighter looked over at his old friend with some animosity. "So am I Yamcha. Don't worry about me, I can handle myself."

The former bandit nodded, "I know you can Krillin, but you've been wished back with the Dragonballs once before. So if anything does happen, at least we know I can be revived. Don't worry Krillin, you'll get your chance just let me take this one."

"He does have a point Krillin," added Goku.

The former monk sighed and then stepped back. "Okay it's all yours."

The giant bald saiyan laughed. "What a soap opera! I'm touched." He then nodded towards one of the remaining sabiamen. "You, go get him." The sabiaman cackled as it began to walk towards the scarred faced warrior.

The former bandit smirked at his opponent. "Laughing huh, well you just sealed your fate frog man."

Vegeta chuckled at the scarred faced human. "This one seems eager." The giant saiyan nodded his agreement.

Yamcha smiled at his alien opponent and then phased out of sight, leaving the sabiaman baffled. As the sabiaman searched for its opponent, it heard a sound behind it and quickly jumped out of the way of kick Yamcha had tried to hit it with. The kick was so strong it broke the ground apart when Yamcha's foot landed causing his foot to become stuck in the ground. Before the sabiaman could capitalize on the mistake, Yamcha powered up with a yell and the ground around him evaporated as his white aura appeared around him.

The scarred faced warrior wasted no time, going on the attack almost immediately. With his aura blazing around him, he unleashed a lighting fast volley of punches on the small alien forcing the sabiaman back with every punch. Yamcha then executed a combo he called his Wolf Fang Fist where he attacked with open handed punches were his hands looked kind of like claws. At the end of combo, the former bandit put his hands together and struck the middle of the green alien's defense, breaking its guard and sending it flying backwards. Yamcha let his aura dissipate as he followed the sabiaman who was floundering in the air and was struggling to regain control of its flight.

The frog man did evidently regain control of its body and it flipped onto the top of one of the rock pillars. After regaining its balance, it sprung off the rock arms outspread trying to grasp the scarred faced warrior. Yamcha smiled as he saw the oncoming alien and did not even move as the frog man neared him. The sabiaman screeched as it closed it arms to wrap around the human, but it was surprised when the former bandit phased out of sight at the last second. Yamcha then reappeared several feet behind the green alien with his hands cupped and a blue ball of energy already formed in between them. He then thrust his arms forward and a blue energy wave streaked towards the exposed back of the sabiaman. The small alien screeched in pain as the energy wave began to disintegrate its body and sent it plunging towards the ground. When the sabiaman and the blue wave hit the ground there was an explosion that caused dust to kick up into the air, causing the whole area between the earthlings and the saiyans to become obscure.

When the dust finally settled, Yamcha stood over the small crater that contained the charred remains of the sabiaman. The frog man had been blown to bits and the parts that were left were charcoal black from the heat of his energy wave. He looked up to see his friends all standing in front of him praising his performance. He looked over to where Upa was standing and the two made eye contact. The younger fighter raised his hand waved it in a manner that said that the former bandit's performance was 'iffy'. Upa then smiled and gave his rival a thumb up and Yamcha returned smiled at the younger warrior.

"Huh, I didn't actually have to kill that one," commented Vegeta as he looked down at the small crater the human fighter had created. The scarred faced bandit then turned around and faced the two saiyans and the four remaining sabiaman.

"So it looks like we're in a totally different league than your little green goon squad."

"Why you runt!" yelled Nappa as he began to move towards the scarred faced bandit.

"Nappa, easy," warned Vegeta as he watched the human fighter with some anticipation. It looked like this one was cocky and Vegeta wanted to see what the human was going to do next. Probably something foolish.

"Why I don't I just take on the other four by myself!"

Vegeta laughed, he knew the human wasn't going to disappoint him. "An excellent idea, I would like to see that very much."

"Yamcha are you nuts?" asked Krillin with some concern. He knew his friend was strong but he wasn't sure that he was that strong.

"Yamcha think about what you're doing!" exclaimed Goku.

The confident fighter just ignored his friends and said, "I'm ready when you are."

Vegeta chuckled again, "Kakarot, you and your friends are not to interfere or I will personally see that you don't see another sunrise. Am I clear?"

"Don't worry," said Yamcha with a cocky smile. "I won't need their help to beat the goon squad."

The flame haired saiyan just laughed and said, "We shall see." With a nod of his head, all four sabiamen sprung into action.

The long haired fighter ducked underneath one of the leaping sabiamen and then jumped into the air so that he would have more room to maneuver. The three other sabiamen were in hot pursuit though and quickly caught up to the former bandit and began to attack him with swift clawed hands. While he was able to fend of most of the barrage, several of the claws cut Yamcha on his arms and one nicked his face. Yamcha with a yell pushed back the three sabiamen, but they recovered quickly and flew at the human warrior once again. This time though Yamcha was ready and he rose up both of his arms and with his forearms he blocked two kicks that were aimed at his head. The third sabiaman then tried to knee the human in the stomach, thinking that it was unprotected but Yamcha lifted up one of his knees and blocked the green alien's attack. The long haired fighter smirked as he held the pose and watched as the sabiaman grew frustrated because he had blocked all of their attacks. His satisfaction was short lived though as the fourth sabiaman appeared above the human fighter and brought both of his hands down together on Yamcha's head and sent the former bandit in a nose dive towards the ground.

Yamcha's body hit the ground but he quickly forced himself back up and avoided in the nick of time two small green legs that crashed into the ground where he had just been laying. The other two sabiaman flew right into his face and continued the high tempo attack unleashing a bombardment of punches on the scarred warrior. The long haired fighter managed to block all of the blows and then landed a devastating right hook on one of the sabiaman sending it flying off to the side. He then feinted like he was going to kick at the other alien's head, causing the sabiaman to drop down onto the ground to avoid the kick. Yamcha smiled as twisted his body and caused his leg to sweep out the feet of the sabiaman causing it to fall onto the ground. He then prepared to finish the little green alien with a ki blast but he was kicked in the head by one of the other sabiamen that he had tried to kick him while he was on the ground.

The scarred faced warrior did a handspring and he was back on his feet before the sabiamen could get to him while he was done. He was however now beginning to grow tired and he was panting heavily. He heard the saiyans laugh, knowing that former bandit was struggling to fend off all four of the sabiamen at the same time. Yamcha grunted and barred his teeth together and tried to ignore his fatigue as he launched towards the four sabiamen.

The sabiamen were caught off guard by the human fighter's bold attack since they outnumbered him greatly. While they were still in a daze, Yamcha was able to kick one of them into the side of a giant rock, causing the rock to crack and dent when the alien was knocked into it. The other three quickly recovered from their shock and pounced on the human warrior. The long haired fighter was able to fend off the three sabiamen for awhile but his fatigue get the better off him and one of the sabiaman's punches connected with the bandit's cheek and sent him stumbling backwards from the force of the blow.

Two of the small aliens fell upon the exhausted warrior and began to pummel him, while the other one and the sabiaman from the rock both began to power up one handed energy waves. The other defenders of Earth cried out in alarm when they saw their friend hit the dirt and the two sabiamen swoop down on him. Goku, Krillin, and Upa began to take a step forward but they were stopped when an energy blast exploded directly in front of them. They looked over to where the two saiyan where standing and the smaller one was wagging one of his index fingers at them.

"Now, now he said that you all would not interfere. You wouldn't want to make him a liar now would you?" Vegeta let out a sadistic laugh and the Z fighters were forced to watch their friend's vicious beating.

After beating the long haired bandit to near unconsciousness, the two sabiamen leaped back from his limp body back towards were they're brethren were powering up energy waves. They also began to power up one handed energy waves as the four sabiamen stood side by side with their sights set on the fallen warrior. The two saiyans looked on with evil grins as they watched as the four sabiamen prepared to finish the scarred faced human off.

Suddenly there was a sign of movement from the limp warrior's body. The sabiamen's faces all became ones of shock as they watched the former bandit force himself first onto one knee and then onto his feet. The fighter was battered and bruised and the saiyans and sabiamen were both surprised by the human's reliance, they were sure that he would not be able to move must less stand after the beating he had just received. Nappa stared at the human warrior with surprise on his face while Vegeta's face only showed surprise for a second before it reverted back to how it normally looked.

"Well he is a stubborn one, I'll give him that," said Vegeta with a hint of respect in his voice. He could respect the fact that the scarred face human did not just lie down and give up. The long haired warrior's pride demanded that he at least stand in one last act of defiance before he died. The short saiyan could understand and respect that.

Yamcha spit out a mouthful of blood onto the ground and then looked straight ahead at the four yellow orbs of energy that were pointed directly at him. "Well go ahead then, finish it!" roared the proud bandit. The four sabiamen fired their Full Powered Energy Waves at the same time, and the four energy waves all absorbed into one super charged wave. As the yellow energy wave raced towards him, Yamcha turned his head towards his friends and gave them one last, confident smile.

Then the super charged yellow energy wave hit him directly in his chest. Yamcha's mouth opened slightly and he let out an involuntary gasp as the beam rip through his torso and out the other side, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. His knees buckled and he succumbed to his fatal injury and crumbled to the ground. Goku and Upa quickly rushed to the fallen bandit's side while the rest of the Z fighters watched in shock and horror as Yamcha gasped for air. The sabiamen made a quick retreat back to their masters as Goku and knelt beside his old friend and took his hand in his own while Upa stood above his rival and looked down at the grisly hole in his friend's chest in shock. As Goku knelt beside his oldest friend he saw that his friend was struggling to keep his eyes open trying to resist death's embrace for a late longer as he grasped Goku's hand and pulled him closer. "Tell Bulma I…" gasped Yamcha with his last breaths but he was unable to finish his final request when his body gave in to the death's beckoning call and the long haired warrior's eyes fluttered for the last time and then closed forever.

"Yamcha," said Goku as he struggled to hold back the tears that were beginning to form in his eyes as he held on to his friend's lifeless hand. The dark haired youth stood above the saiyan from Earth and the inanimate body of his rival completely at a loss for words. The rest of the defenders of Earth were also silent as the first member of their group past on to the next dimension. Krillin was so overwhelmed that he sank to his knees and dug his hands into the earth grasping the dirt in his hands as he let out his frustration by grinding the ground into microscopic particles.

The saiyans watched the scene in silence for a moment and then they began to laugh. The sabiamen joined in as well, and their cackling filled the silent wasteland. "Well I guess that's a win for the sabiamen isn't it," said Vegeta after he had stopped laughing. He crossed his arms and surveyed the scene before him with a smug smirk plastered on his face. "He was overconfident and a weakling, not a good combination."

While the rest of the Z fighters mourned the loss of the long haired warrior, Krillin clenched his fist in anger. "Why did you have to go and try and take them all on at once? Why did you have go ahead in fight in my place you jerk? Maybe if I had fought first he would have been able to beat them with one less of this little green monsters? Why Yamcha!"

The big, bald saiyan saw the small fighter kneeling on his knees expressing his anger and said, "That's okay little man, you can go next. Don't waste your rage sulking, take it out on the battlefield. We want a show!"

"You want a show? You got it!" Krillin turned around to face the saiyans and the sabiamen, a vein in his forehead popping out from the anger he felt over the death of his friend. "Excuse me guys, I think I'll take my turn now!" Krillin growled as he looked over at the four little monsters that killed his friend. "I'll get them," he muttered.

"What are you waiting for then," taunted Nappa trying to make the former monk even madder.

"I'm not waiting, I'm boiling!" exclaimed Krillin. "Come on all take on all four of those goons, just like Yamcha did!" The small fighter then planted his feet shoulder width apart and raised his hand up into the air and a white outline appeared around him as he powered up.

"So he thinks he can take on all four huh," said Vegeta. "He must have a death wish to."

"You're all mine!" roared Krillin as he continued to power up. Piccolo noticed the sharp increase in the small fighter's power and took a slight step back and Upa and Goku both returned back to the Z fighters' side of the battlefield to get out of Krillin's way. "This one's for you Yamcha," said the powered up fighter as his hands began to glow with a golden energy.

The saiyans watched with anticipation, eager to see what the short, bald fighter was up to. Nappa chuckled and Vegeta looked over to one of the sabiamen. "Attack," he ordered and with a screech the four sabiamen began to charge towards the short monk. As the four sabiamen drew closer, Krillin thrust his arms from above his hand to in front of him and a slow but powerful energy wave began to make its way towards the sabiamen.

"Now Gohan, the energies slow but it's enormous so I think he wants us to clear out." The teacher and student quickly leapt out of the way of the huge energy wave and the rest of Earth's defenders followed them soon afterwards.

The golden energy wave was slow, so the four sabiamen had no trouble evading the wave. They all jumped into the sky and floated there as they watched the golden wave pass by them. The energy continued on its path, heading directly towards the two saiyan who just stood there with amused looks on their faces, making no effort to move out of the way of the giant energy wave the was heading straight for them.

Then suddenly, Krillin jerked his arms upward and the beam followed suit, curving up directly in front of the two saiyans. As the beam collected in the sky, it became one giant ball of energy. Then Krillin thrust his hands downward and the giant ball of energy became five faster spheres of ki that were then launched down at the defenseless sabiamen and saiyans. Three of the spheres tracked down the sabiamen and completely obliterated them, disintegrating the ugly aliens in a blink of an eye. The last two spheres of energy were launched straight down towards the two saiyans, were they stood not even trying to dodge the attack. Nappa could be heard laughing and Vegeta just stood there with that fearless smirk on his face. At the last second, Nappa raised his arms to defend himself but Vegeta just stood there and let the blast hit him full force. As the two spheres of energy hit the ground, a huge cloud of debris rose up and blocked where the saiyans had been standing from view.

"Wow, way to go Krillin," said Upa in awe. He had never seen energy manipulated quite so masterfully. He had learned though during his time on the lookout with the small monk that Krillin was the most gifted of them all in energy and ki manipulation.

"Yeah Krillin that was a great technique, I think I wouldn't have seen that one coming," complimented Goku. He smiled at his best friend, glad that he had been able to avenge Yamcha's death with that one attack.

Krillin stood there panting, out of energy after using his Scattering Bullet technique. "Thanks you guys it was the least I could do," he said wearily as he began to walk back towards his friends. While everyone was distracted congratulating Krillin, the last sabiaman that had managed to escape the technique that had devastated his brethren jumped out from a crevice in the side of a mountain straight towards Gohan. Gohan noticed the green alien and began to retreat backwards with a yell but the sabiaman's arm was closing in and had almost grasped Gohan's wrist when something stopped the sabiaman dead in its tracks.

The little green monster looked up to see a scowling Piccolo towering above it grasping its wrist making it unable for the sabiaman to escape. "How rude, no manners at all." Piccolo snarled at the cowering creature and stated, "You're done." The green warrior then threw the alien into the air were it hung in limbo for a moment. Then Piccolo opened his mouth and fired his Explosive Demon Canon which completely disintegrated the defenseless sabiaman.

"Thanks Mr. Piccolo ha-ha," Piccolo brushed off his pupil's thank you and turned his back on the kid and looked towards where the dust was beginning to settle.

"I should have made you deal with it, but we have bigger things to worry about then those little plants. Now be on your guard." Gohan followed his trainers gaze over to where the saiyans had been standing moments ago. Gohan was sure they had been destroyed though by his dad's friend, but then heard that evil laughter coming from the dust cloud.

"There's no way I put everything I had into that shot!" exclaimed Krillin as two figures began to emerge from the dust cloud. The defenders of Earth stared in horror as the two saiyans slowly walked out of the cloud of debris.

"Surprise, surprise, this is our favorite part you know. You should see the looks on your faces," said Vegeta.

Thanks for the reading! On to some of your reviews, the Piccolo not knowing how they recognized his voice was directly from the manga/anime. I guess he must have forgotten that Raditz had told him, it had been a year since then. Also Yajirobe's power level will be higher than it was in canon. He still had 3 months to train after the lookout training and even though he didn't train that much he did train some. Now on to the power levels.

Upa: 2400

Sabiamen: 1200

Chi-Chi: 1650

Yamcha: 1900

Yamcha Kamehameha: 2500

Sabiamen Combined Energy Wave: 3000

Krillin: 2100

Krillin Scattering Bullet: 3150

Piccolo vs. Sabiaman: 3500

Now for some explanations. Upa's power level increased at the same rate it had been while he was training on the lookout. Yamcha's power level didn't increase as much because he was in West City not training as hard as he was on the Lookout. His overconfidence got the better of him and he thought they would have no trouble against the saiyans with their combined power. If you have seen the show, you know Yamcha does not train well when by himself. At one point while training for the androids, you know a threat he had been told had led to his death in the future, he went to a gym to train. A gym! Anyway continuing on, Chi-Chi and Krillin's power levels more rapidly and to greater extents because they trained with Goku for the last 3 months. And the power level Piccolo used against the sabiamen is not his max power level; he just blew it to pieces quickly.

So let me know what you think. Let me know what you think of Yamcha's death. I tried to give a better death than the writers of the show did. I think they didn't like Yamcha that much. Also let me know how I did at writing the fighting scenes and just let me know what you think of the chapter or story as a whole. Also any suggestions you have go ahead and throw them out there. That's how I got Upa is from a review, so you know REVIEW!
