Hey me, it's the next chapter! Review! Plus, look out for a special new addition!

Chapter 40

"What the? Him?" Goku and Gohan said at the same time.

"Goku, who is that?" The Surpeme Kai asked as they watched Jeice pose in the crystal ball.

"His name is Jeice. He was a member of the Ginyu Force, which was part of Frieza's empire. I fought them back when I was a kid on Planet Namek. Wow, does that bring back memories…" Gohan sighed. Then, he frowned.

"Then again, I was almost killed several times, so that kinda ruined the experience." Gohan muttered.

"Is he strong?" Supreme Kai asked curiously.

"Well… I was a lot stronger than him after my training on the ship that took me to Planet Namek. But, Vegeta was the one who killed him." Goku frowned.

"So, you're saying that this fighter can be defeated easily?" The Supreme Kai asked.

"Well… Pan and Android Sixteen can wipe the floor with him, maybe even Hermione. But, I'm not so sure about Ron. When it comes to fighting, he can get a bit hotheaded. That can be a problem." Goku frowned.

Baba's Palace…

"I have no data on this opponent." Android 16 said as they looked at Ron and Jeice in the ring.

"I think I know this guy. Gohan told us about his fight with the Ginyu Force when he was a kid. Jeice wasn't a match against Goku, but Vegeta was the one who killed him." Hermione said as she looked up thoughtfully.

"So, ready to cry like a baby? I'm part of the most powerful force in the universe!" Jeice laughed.

"Bring it." Ron muttered.

"Ready, set, and go!" Baba laughed. Jeice smirked as he clicked the green scouter on his face.

"Heh. Your power level is pathetic, compared to mine." Jeice chuckled.

"You think that his experiences on Planet Namek would have taught him to stop trusting those things!" Hermione whispered to Pan.

"Hey, most of the soldiers in the Dark Empire wear scouters too. Heck, me and Bardock used to wear them." Pan whispered back. Then, Jeice leaped into the air, twirled, and landed back on the ground.

"Hmph!" Jeice twirled his head around, making his hair fly.

"Get ready to taste the red magma of the Ginyu Force! I'm Jeice!" Jeice yelled as he struck a pose. Ron frowned, and then smirked.

"Uh-oh. I don't like that look on his face." Pan frowned.

"Don't do something stupid, Ron!" Hermione clasped her hand and whispered.

"Are you gonna pose all day, or are you gonna fight? No wonder Vegeta and Goku kicked your bloody ass so easily!" Ron yelled. Jeice froze mid-pose.

"Oh no he didn't." Bardock chuckled.

"Oh my. Now the entertainment can begin!" Baba chuckled.

"How… how dare you! I'll… I'LL DESTROY YOU!" Jeice screamed. Then, he crouched. An instant later, a red blur shot from Jeice's spot and shot towards Ron.

"Yah!" Ron yelled as he swung. But, his fist didn't hit anything. Then, a red blur shot past Ron's face again.

"You're going to have to do better than that!" Jeice laughed as Ron tried to hit him again, but he missed.

"Come on Ron, don't use your eyes. Sense him out! Come on, I taught you better than that!" Goku groaned as they watched Jeice zoom by Ron again.

"Jeice may be a showoff, but he does have strategy. He's up to something, Dad. He might try to blast Ron, like he did against you." Gohan frowned.

"What's going on over there? Come on, tell me something!" Harry groaned.

"Quiet!" Old Kai barked, making Harry groan and shut his mouth.

"What, am I too fast for ya?" Jeice taunted as he shot past Ron again. Then, just as Jeice shot over Ron's head, he whirled in mid air and kicked Ron across the face!

"Ron!" Pan and Hermione gasped, while Baba and Bardock chuckled as Ron staggered back a few feet across the ring.

"Hah! How do you like that? Wish that the captain could have seen that!" Jeice laughed.

"Bloody hell! That hurt!" Ron gasped as he wiped the blood that was coming out of his mouth.

"That's just the start, mate. I'm going to put you in a world of hurt." Jeice chuckled. Then, he vanished!

"What the? Where'd he go this time?" Ron snarled as he looked around.

"How about right behind you?" Ron whirled just in time to see Jeice's fist smash into the side of his face! Ron gasped as he whirled. Then, he ducked Jeice's next punch, and kicked the red alien in the stomach! Jeice squeaked with surprise as he shot across the ring and flew over the edge.

"Al right!" Pan pumped her fist while Hermione clasped her hands.

"Not yet." Bardock chuckled. Then, Jeice stopped above the water and hovered an inch above it.

"It's gonna take a lot more than that to beat a member of the Ginyu Force, mate!" Jeice chuckled as he landed back in front of Ron.

"Clearly, removing Jeice from the ring is not an option." Android 16 said.

"Right. Ron's got a problem. When it comes to experience, Jeice trumps over Ron. Ron's too reckless. He's not using his head." Pan crossed her arms and sighed.

"Come on, you'll have to do better than that, mate!" Jeice laughed as he blocked and countered every one of Ron's punches. Then, another kick sent Ron tumbling across the ring.

"Here mate, try this on for size!" Jeice laughed as he fired multiple red ki balls out of his hands.

"Not the ring! I just had it retiled!" Baba yelled. Then, the red ki blasts smashed into the ring with a large explosion.

"Gah! Bloody hell! Ahh!" Ron yelled as he got sent flying and tumbled across the ring. When the smoke faded, you could see cracks in the ring. Ron was standing up weakly, and there was blood coming down his face. Jeice laughed as he floated in the air. Then, he clicked his scouter.

"Well, look at that! Poor thing's about to pass out! His power levels at fourteen thousand, and dropping fast!" Jeice laughed.

"This is not good. Ron better come up with a plan, or he's screwed." Pan frowned.

"Eat this, you red faced freak!" Ron yelled as he fired yellow ki blasts from his hands at Jeice, who smirked.

"Bring it on, mate!" Jeice laughed as he fired red blasts from his hands as well. The collision resulted in a massive explosion!

"Time to take you out, once and for all!" Jeice roared. Then, he roared as he concentrated.

"CRUSHER!" Jeice roared. Then, a large red ball flew out of his hand and hovered above it.

"Oh no!" Hermione gasped

"BALL!" Then, Jeice threw the ball! It shot straight into the large dust cloud. An instant later, a large red dome appeared, Then…

BOOM!

"Ron!" Hermione gasped as she covered her face, while Pan and Android 16 stood motionless as the wind whipped past them.

"My ring!" Baba gasped as she clutched her ball.

"Heh. Weasley's screwed now." Bardock chuckled.

"Oh my! What an intense attack!" The Supreme Kai said as they watched the fight through the crystal ball.

"Awww, no! Dang it Ron!" Gohan groaned. They watched as the smoke faded from the ring, showing that it was completely empty.

"Heh. Alright! Who wants a taste of the Ginyu Force next?" Jeice laughed. Then, his scouter beeped.

"What the? That power!" Jeice gasped.

"Taste this, you bloody bloke!" Jeice whirled to see a large fist smash into his face, followed a large ki blast. Jeice gasped as he shot through the air, and then smashed into the water with a large splash.

"Enjoy your swim, git." Ron smirked as he landed back on the ground. What got everyone's attention was the fact that Ron looked super bulked up. Then, he returned to normal with a sigh.

"Hmph. That was clever." Bardock from while Baba floated silently.

"Oh Ron! You did it!" Hermione hugged Ron as he slowly walked off the ring and pecked him on the cheek.

"No posing git is going to kick my ass." Ron smirked.

"Here Ron, you earned this." Pan smiled as she pulled a sensu bean out of her bag and flicked it into Ron's mouth. He chewed it for a minute, and then smirked.

"Nice!" Ron grinned as he felt his head and looked at his healed wounds.

"Alright! He won! He beat Jeice!" Gohan cheered.

"That was an amazing and impressive maneuver that Ron pulled." Goku chuckled.

"I'm confused Goku. What happened?" The Supreme Kai asked.

"You didn't see? Well, it was simple and effective." Goku chuckled.

"Yes, but what did he do, exactly?" The Supreme Kai frowned.

"For a guy who supposed to watch over the entire universe, its kind of pathetic that he can't see a fight with beings that have power levels below his." Gohan chuckled mentally.

"Is that so? Nice to see that you have such a high opinion of me, Gohan." The Supreme Kai chuckled, making

Gohan gulp.

"This guy can read minds? Come on!" Gohan groaned mentally.

"Anyway, what Ron did was that he used the smoke from the collision as a cover. Before Jeice used his attack, Ron shot under the smoke and flew above Jeice. Then, he bulked himself up, increasing his strength to go above Jeice's. The problem with that technique is the loss of speed, but he didn't need speed at the moment. He needed strength." Goku explained.

"Yes, I see. How clever!" The Supreme Kai smirked.

"I wonder who Baba's going to send out next. Who do you think it is, dad?" Gohan asked. Goku shrugged.

Back to our fighters…

"Great job, Ron!" Hermione smiled again.

"Kaff kaff! My hair!" they stopped cheering and looked over to see Jeice pull himself out of the water, coughing.

"What a big baby." Pan muttered as they watched Jeice complain as he stomped off inside the large building on the other side.

"This isn't the last you've seen of me! No one messes with the Ginyu Force and lives!" Jeice yelled before storming off inside.

"I'll give you guys this. That was clever. But, that's not gonna work twice!" Bardock laughed.

"Hah hah! Impressive! But now that the warm-up match is over, let's see how you fare against my real fighters." Baba chuckled.

"Fine. Ron, take a break. I'm up now. Bring it on, lady!" Pan smirked as she stepped onto the cracked ring.

"I like you. I definitely see the saiyan in you!" Bardock smirked.

"Pan, be careful. She's a Ravenclaw! She's tricky!" Hermione yelled.

"Don't worry." Pan smiled as she removed her bandana and handed it to Hermione.

"Let's get this started." Pan smiled as she crouched into a fighting position.

"My oh my, such spirit. You're quite the fighter, missy." Baba chuckled.

"So, who the bloody hell do you have that can take on a super saiyan, huh? Plus, she can go to the next level!" Ron called out with a smile on his face.

"Yes, that was a tricky one to find. That was mostly Baba, but I found a special one in hell. She found the rest. This new arrival is… complicated." Bardock chuckled.

"Thank you, Bardock. Yes, it was rather difficult to find candidates that can fight against a super saiyan. But, you can always find what you want, if you look hard enough for it." Baba chuckled.

"Thank you, father, but I believe I'll take it from here. I'd be happy to teach Kakarot's granddaughter a thing or two about true saiyan power!" a figure laughed as it walked out of the large building. Hermione and Ron gasped, Android 16 frowned, and Pan's eyes widened as the figure walked calmly into the ring and stood in front of Pan. Pan blinked as she looked at the man in front of her. He was dressed in saiyan armor, had a brown tail that was wrapped around his waist. He had long black hair that went to his legs, and black eyes. His face held a striking resemblance to Goku's. What was a little noticeable was the two glowing gold bands on his wrists, one on each side.(Guess who?)

"Dad, is that?" Gohan gasped as he looked at the ball.

"Yes, it is." Goku sighed.

"Goku, who is that?" the Supreme Kai asked.

"That's Raditz… my older brother." Goku sighed, getting surprised looks from Kibito and the Supreme Kai.

"Now that I know, I do see the resemblance." The Supreme Kai said.

"Wait, I thought Raditz was dead. Where's the halo? He doesn't have one. And what's with the glowing bands?" Gohan asked as he looked at the ball.

"What?" Goku frowned as he looked at the ball. Sure enough, there was no halo floating over Raditz's head.

"That's… odd." Goku frowned.

"Hey dad, why would Baba and gramps use Raditz anyway? His power level was at twelve hundred when he fought against you and Piccolo. That's pathetic." Gohan frowned.

"Don't get cocky, Gohan. My dad and Baba are smarter than that. They wouldn't use my big brother unless they had some secret strategy up their sleeve. Raditz is probably a lot stronger than he was the last time I fought him. For now, we just have to wait and see." Goku frowned as he sat indian style and gazed into the ball with a frown.

"Isn't that Gohan's uncle?" Hermione said with surprise as they looked at Raditz and Pan, glaring at each other.

"Affirmative. Searching for information on this opponent collected from Dr Gero's data." Android 16 said as his eyes flashed red.

"Well, he definitely looks like the clone that tried to kill us back in third year." Ron frowned.

"Identity confirmed. Opponent identity: Raditz. Power level: Twelve hundred. Relationship to Goku: Older brother. Signature moves: Double Sunday, Heavy Finish, and Begone. Primary combat techniques of subject collected while subject was engaged in combat against subjects classified as Goku and Piccolo." Android 16 said.

"Bloody hell." Ron blinked at the android.

"Are you sure that's Raditz's power level? That can't be right." Hermione frowned.

"Calculating… power level confirmed. Twelve hundred. Pan's power level far exceeds his." Android 16 said as he crossed his arms.

"Hmph. So you're my grandniece. I don't see it." Raditz frowned as he looked at Pan.

"And you're my great uncle. I've heard about you." Pan frowned.

"I've trained Raditz since he was a baby. I taught him everything he knew. Plus, we trained a lot in hell. You're in for a good fight." Bardock laughed.

"Let the match begin!" Baba said. Pan immediately got into a fighting position. She frowned a minute later when Raditz didn't move at all.

"What are you waiting for?" she frowned.

"Heh. I said that I'll show you the true power of a saiyan, and I plan to do just that." Raditz chuckled.

"Is that so? Well, this is the true power of a saiyan!" Then, Pan screamed as she clenched her fist. Her hair stood on end as her hair flashed gold, and her eyes went from brown to green. Then, a golden flash briefly lit up the arena. When it faded, Pan could be seen with a gold aura around her.

"As long as I live… I'll never get tired of seeing that transformation." Hermione breathed.

"Hmph. That transformation." Raditz frowned.

"What are you waiting for? Transform so that we can start this!" Pan smirked as she got into a fighting position.

"Gladly. It's so unfortunate about your little condition with your tail. You could really use it about now. RAAAHH!" Raditz yelled as a white flash lit himself up briefly, before a white ball appeared in his hand.

"What the?" Pan frowned.

"Oh no! He wouldn't!" Hermione gasped.

"Dad, please tell me that he's not about to do what I think he's about to do!" Gohan gasped as he looked at Goku.

"I… I'm afraid so, son." Goku sighed.

"Get ready, my dear niece!" Raditz laughed. Then, he threw the ball into the air!

"Now, mix with the atmosphere!" Raditz roared as he closed his hand.

BOOM! Then, a large white ball appeared in the sky. Raditz roared as fangs appeared on his face, and his skin became furry.

"Warning. Opponent's power level is rising rapidly." Android 16 said as his eyes flashed.

"Wait, what about Bardock?" Hermione asked with shock as Raditz continued to roar and grow larger. His tail thrashed around wildly behind him, and his feet were reaching the edges of the ring.

"Heh! Don't worry about me. Came prepared." Bardock chuckled as he tapped the black glasses that he was wearing.

"RRRRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!" Raditz roared at the large white ball in the sky.

"I hope to god that he doesn't go wild." Hermione gasped. Then, Raditz stopped roaring, and looked down with a smile on his face.

"This is the true power of a saiyan! My power is now ten-fold what is was before! Prepare to swim and scream uncle, my dear niece." Ape Raditz chuckled as he looked down at Pan.

"…Bring it on, Uncle Raditz." Pan smiled.

Well, here we go! The next fighter! Review!
