Chapter Twelve- Saiyans little army
As the earth still steamed from the newly landed pods, a section of them cracked away from the rest and hit the ground with a muffled thump, inside each was a dark shadow, the second bigger than the first. The innocent people of the city were gathered in silence, watching in curious terror as the shadows raised themselves and clambered out from the pods.
As sunlight struck them, a lady screamed. Hushed whispers grew louder as the people wondered aloud.
Both shadows were man, one a small but imposing figure, the other large and also, imposing. The smaller had an arrogant look apon his face, blue leather clinging to his muscled form and black spiky hair that made up for inches of his shortness. The bigger one was pure armour and muscle, twice the width of his comrade. As they surveyed the humans in distaste, the larger one lifted a hand, and the whole city exploded with a flash of white.
"Holy crap did you feel that?"
"How horrible, all those people died within the second" Gohan was trembling, having felt the ki of millions of people die all at once. There was no doubt about it, those saiyans meant business.
"That power..its worse than I could ever have imagined. I don't even think it was a strain for them either" Piccolo had a hand on Gohan's shoulder, so lost in his own shock he'd forgotten that he wasn't trying to get close to Gohan.
My muscles ached already, as if they knew they could not win this fight. The overwhelming power levels were now on the move and as Piccolo opened his mouth to speak, I already feared the dreaded words.
"Gohan, get ready, those saiyans are coming for us and there not looking for directions"
"But why us mr Piccolo?"
"Because we're the strongest power levels on the planet" Yeah, like that was reassuring. Compared to the mindless humans on this planet, it wasn't exactly a huge achievement to have the highest power levels here.
Blackbirds cawed above us, scattering to make way for a shadowy figure that floated down the plateau beside us. But it wasn't a saiyan, the power was too weak.
"Oh it's you" Piccolo rolled an eye as the figure came into sight. It was the bald guy in the orange jumpsuit from months ago, Krillin I think his name was.
"Hey there guys, thought you could use a hand" Ever the dim-witted one, he was smiling as his feet touched the dusty earth. Piccolo smirked.
"If you insist. Your almost as powerful as Gohan here so I suppose you may be useful" That slapped the smile right of his face.
"But Gohan's a five year old, how can he be stronger than me"
"He's a saiyan, what do you expect" Baldie shot a glare at Gohan before pulling him to the side.
"Say kid, how bad was the training with Piccolo" He'd tried to whisper but the wind was not in his favor and blew his words away from him.
Gohan scratched his head thoughtfully and smiled.
"It was actually pretty fun, mr piccolo taught me a lot of things" Krillin smiled doubtfully.
"Not sure a kidnapping is supposed to be fun Gohan.."
"You two, be quiet, we've got company"
"Oh hey Lessa" Krillin waved in acknowledgement.
"I meant the saiyans.."
"Oh..well crap"
"Hey look vegeta, it's that guy that killed Raditz. I didn't realize he was a namekian"
"A what?" Krillin looked from the two descending monsters to Piccolo in confusion. Piccolo didn't look surprised though, but why would he be. You'd have to be retarded to think he was a human.
"He means I'm an alien"
"Well, let's be honest, we all knew that one"
"Well then, why don't we get straight to the point. Where are the dragonballs namekian" The smaller male in blue asked, the wind ruffling his spiky black hair. I suppose he was meant to look intimidating, but actually he looked kind of hot.
'Oh don't even start that one, he wants to kill you remember'
'Well maybe not me in particular, I'm sure a guy like him could use some sex every once in a while'
'Yeah, I'm sure he's got a bunch of harem whores waiting for him back at home'
'What happened to Piccolo, you got bored of him already? I didn't realize your interests faded so quickly'
'Like you'd understand Serquet, it's not like you ever get any'
'Who says I don't' I had to mentally roll my eyes at that one.
'You live in my body like twenty four seven. Besides your. Well..'
'I'm what?'
'A crusty old hag?'
'Melanie!'
'What? It's true'
'Well fuck you too'
"I'm not going to ask again" Oh, right. The saiyans were here. Almost forgot about that one.
"Like we'd tell you" Piccolo snarled.
"Really? Shame, looks like I'll have to find out the hard way. Nappa, you know what to do" He looked expectantly towards the other saiyan, who was pretty much a bigger; more bulkier version of cracked his knuckles and his eyes gleamed menancingly.
"I'm gonna have fun beating you guys up" Vegeta slapped a palm to his face.
"The scouter Nappa.."
"Ohhh right" Nappa brought out a scouter; an exact replica of the one Raditz had, and fastened it across his left eye. As numerals flashed across the screen, Nappa grinned.
"1010, 1130,1300 and 1400..not even a threat vegeta" Vegeta wasn't satisfied though.
"Take of your scouter, they can hide there power levels" He seemed bored.
"They still look weak though" Nappa unclipped the scouter, discarding it to the sand.
"They are. I wouldn't put them at any more than 3000 each. I think we should have a little game to test them though… How many saibamen do we have Nappa"
Because apparently this was some kind of a joke. I could see Krillin was about to protest but Piccolo shushed him with a long green finger.
"Listen up, if we play their game we can buy ourselves more time. Goku should be getting here anytime soon and if anyone is going to take these saiyans down it will be him"
"Way to put some faith in us Piccolo" But he did have a point. Goku had been doing some sort of training with a god or something according to Piccolo's counterpart Kami, so he was bound to be a lot stronger than us.
"Well Vegeta, we should still have six from when we eliminated that planet about a year ago"
"Alright then, plant the saibamen"
"What in gods name are you on about" I placed both hands on my hips, watching as Nappa pulled a small brown bag and a vial full of green liquid from his chest armour. No one dared to stop him as he bent down and scraped six holes in the earth, or when he placed a tiny seed in each one.
Not even at the final moment, when he opened the vial and emptied two drops onto each seed.
Nothing made sense until the seeds sprouted, and six hellish creatures grew from the very earth itself.
"Wow, those things are ugly"
"You said it Gohan" The creatures were green and scaly. With claws and fangs to make up for their lack of height, reaching up to Gohan's four foot one. And yes, as Gohan so blatantly put it, they were ugly motherfuckers.
Each creature smiled mischievously, and cackled in sync, before speedily spinning around us, blurring our view of them as white energy blazed and the mountains and plateaus beside us crumbled and came apart.
As quickly as they had started, they stopped. Their plan for intimidation had worked.
"So...two saibamen each?" Piccolo glanced unamusedly between me and krillin.
"I got the left ones, I think there the ugliest"
"That leaves me with the right ones" Vegeta smirked.
"Then let the games begin"
