Saiyans Rising Chapter 1

Goku and Piccolo are fighting Raditz. Raditz laughed "you are a disgrace to us all, you are pathetic even with siding with another you can't even scratch me. He keeps crushing Goku under his boots. Goku sees a bright light he asked "what is that?" The object flies over Raditz's head. Raditz shouts "what was that?" Raditz then looks down "you know what never mind I will kill you now." He fire a Ki attack through Goku's heart." Raditz laughs "this was too easy, well now Namek it's your turn." Then suddenly a door flies at Raditz. Raditz smashes it, he then sees a girl standing there. Raditz said "Wait, no it can't be". The girl said "your remember me, don't you Raditz, I was a prodigy among young low-level saiyans". Raditz said "Zira, you how did you escape the planet's explosion." "I escaped in a cryo-pod following the previous co-ordinates of the last launch" she said. Zira asked "who did you kill?" Raditz said "he is my brother who wouldn't join us." Zira kicked him in the stomach so hard he collapsed. I would kill you except there is so few of us left I shouldn't kill you." Zira said "We saiyans need a new world to settle on, this world would be good." I saw some of the most dominate species on the planet they looked like us, we could settle here." Raditz shouted "no, we can't integrate with a lesser species." Zira said "It's that or go extinct, we have very numbers." Raditz said "Vegeta won't agree with that and neither would Nappa. Zira said "we will have to fight them when they come. We could beat them if we train together. Raditz said "I'm not okay with this."

Meanwhile Krillin and a few others are flying there, Krillin said "this is really bad, Goku's energy is gone and there is the evil saiyan plus another huge power and piccolo as well." Krillin and the others arrive. Zira sees them and walks over "hey, I am a saiyan as well, I need to speak to you." Krillin said "well our friend Goku is good but his brother is not." Zira said "I apologise for Raditz's behavior now, the problem is 2 stronger saiyans will arrive in a year." Piccolo said "may I interject, I will take Goku's kid and train him." Zira said "you seem to be capable, very well consider it done but make sure he is ready to face strong enemies stronger than all of us." Krillin said "he is a villain on this planet you know." Zira said "the saiyans are a bigger threat. Krillin said "what happened to Goku." Zira said "he is dead, Raditz killed him". Krillin said "I will kill him." Zira said "I can't allow that, my race had dwindled to but a handful I would have killed him except, if I have to kill the other 2 saiyans and Raditz with Kakarot dead, I will be the last of my race except for Goku's kid. Krillin said "I'm sorry." Zira said with tears streaming down her face "we probably deserved it we wiped so many planets out it was our turn". "Where is Goku's body?" asked Krillin Piccolo looked around "Kami probably took him to be trained so we could bring him back a year from now." Zira asked shocked "bring him back, how?" Krillin said "Kami created 7 magical dragonballs that can grant any wish including back the dead but they can do it only once per person."

Zira walked off with Raditz, she pulled his scouter off and used it to measure their power levels. She said to Raditz "They seem pretty strong, with some training they may stand a chance." Zira walked over and said "we will make you stronger, but you have to teach us 1 thing, how to sense Ki, you know I'm strong I can see it in your eyes." Yamcha said "I am not taking order from a 6 year old, who is not even half my height with hair as long as her body, it's just plain weird." She elbows him in the stomach and he coughs up blood. Zira said "don't underestimate me." Piccolo said "I will train the kid alone, you can train these fools." Zira said "me and Raditz want an assumption of your abilities." Tien and Chiaotzu arrived Krillin said "we are to train with them". Tien asked "Why?" Krillin said "2 incredibly powerful enemies are coming." Raditz said "yes, one of them is 5 times stronger than me and the other is 15 times stronger." Tien said "so?" Raditz said "Kakarot and Piccolo couldn't beat me." Tien said "whoa Piccolo but who is Kakarot. Zira said "Goku." Tien said "what, he could beat both of them combined, and we have to fight those stronger than us."

Zira said "come at us and don't anything back." Tien, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Yamcha rush the 2 of them. Zira and Raditz dodge every single one of their attacks. Raditz knocks one of them away. Zira shouted "stop". Zira said "you know what, Raditz train them in single combat if they can give you a decent fight by the end of the year,send them to me to do some more training I have something I want to try." Raditz said to them "Come at me 1 at time and I will make each of you stronger."

Meanwhile with Zira, she is fighting in the barren wasteland. She focuses her power let's hope this works. She starts to focus her aura and for a split second her power multiplies by 10. Zira shouted "damn it, I almost held it for a second, that power will be very influential in upcoming fight." She tried again and again until she started to bleed all over the ground. Zira said "I can easily do this in the full moonlight." She and the other had all trained for 6 months. Then all the others except Piccolo and Gohan flew to her location. She turned around "all of you want to spar with me, Raditz you too fine then this may helped me achieve what I have been trying to do." Zira sparred with them for the next 6 months they fought hard she often walked off bleeding at the end of the fight but was victorious. In the meantime Mr Popo, Kami and Master Roshi sought the dragonballs. A day before they manage to bring him back.

The fated day had arrived, the saiyans arrived and destroyed a city. Zira felt them "we have to meet up with the others." she said. Raditz said "agreed". They flew to Piccolo's location. Piccolo was surprised when they arrived, "your powers have all improved considerably." Zira said "you have done well with Gohan his power has also risen considerably, I have to thank all of you for teaching me how to sense Ki during our training sessions." Raditz said "thanks for that as well." The 2 saiyans arrived "they are pretty strong" the shorter one said. The big one said "funny, looks like we have a traitor and another saiyan." Zira said "Nappa, I am thinking about the future of the saiyan race we have dwindled considerably and have no planet to call home." Nappa said "Vegeta." Vegeta said "I want to kill all of them expect Zira, understood." Nappa said "sorry but he is the prince I have my orders." Nappa rushes in and starts causing their entire group trouble, he knocks Zira and Raditz out of his way and blows up Yamcha in a single blast. Vegeta said "most of them at 2000 except the Namek who is 2500, Raditz who is 3000 and Zira who is 4000, still none of them are a match for you at 6000." Chiaotzu grabs onto Nappa's back, "I am taking you with me you big bully." Chiaotzu said. Tien said "no, we can't bring you back." Chiaotzu said "I am just glad to protect my friend. Chiaotzu exploded on Nappa. Nappa said "so who wants a go", Krillin and Piccolo launch a surprise attack and knock him towards Gohan. Piccolo shouts "Gohan, fire". Gohan, however runs away and hides. Nappa regains his bearing now. He get kicked by Zira into Raditz's punch. They shout "team move homing energy barrage." Raditz fires a tremendous amount of standard energy blasts. Zira fires a horde of homing beams out of her fingers. Nappa gets hit by the force of the attack. However, he knocks Raditz into a mountain and slams Zira face into the ground.

Nappa is laughing, Gohan shouts "I've had enough of this slaughter" He fires a tremendous amount of energy at Nappa, Nappa manages to deflect the attack. He then fires a huge beam of energy at Gohan. Piccolo jumps in the way and get blown up. Goku arrives just 5 seconds to late. Goku look at the situation "everyone except Krillin and Gohan is dead." Raditz shouts "sorry for killing you brother but we are in a bad way". Goku jumps down "who is she, she looks so young." Zira stood up "Goku your here, I am glad." Goku said "you should eat this, I may need all of you" he gave each of them a quarter of a Senzu bean. He turn around "you have caused my friends a ton of trouble." He starts to power up, Vegeta shouts "His power keep rising he could barely beat Raditz, it's over 7000 wait no it's over 8..." Nappa asks "how strong is he?" Vegeta said "his power level is over 8000". Goku starts fighting Nappa and strikes him quickly. Nappa roars angrily and keeps swinging wildly. Vegeta shouts at him "stop acting like a fool, you are letting your rage control you." Nappa said "your right, Vegeta I will clam down he rushes at Gohan and Krillin. Goku said "looks like I have no choice, Kaioken." Goku flies at him and hits him so hard he is crippled. Nappa said "help me, Vegeta." Vegeta said "I have no use for a cripple." He throws Nappa in the air and fires a blast at him. Zira rushed in front of Nappa and unleashes a huge power and deflects his attack." Goku walks over to Vegeta, your enemy is me. Nappa asks Zira "why did you save me?" Zira said "you are part of my race that is almost gone, I can't afford to lose any members of my race if we are to rebuild our race." We can salvage ourselves she tells Gohan and Krillin "we will leave Goku to fight Vegeta, he can't fight to his fullest when he worries about our safety." Raditz said "yeah my brother can do this I felt his strength."

Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta go off to fight, they arrive at a new location. Vegeta said "you should be grateful an Elite like me, fights a lower class like yourself." Goku said "Birth isn't everything, with enough effort anyone can be surpassed." Vegeta said "well allow to show you a power that effort alone can't surpass." Vegeta launches the first attack charging at Goku, Goku dodges and kicks him in the air. He flies after him. Vegeta turns around and kicks him away. Vegeta and Goku fly at each each other exchanging blows. Vegeta laughs "Impressive but I am winning he slams Goku into the ground. Goku shouts to be on even footing and even lands a few good hits. However, Vegeta starts powers up to full and turns the tides in his favor. Goku said "I have to win, I am better off hurt than dead." A voice said "no you can't you'll destroy your body." Goku said "sorry King Kai, Kaioken x 3." Goku starts to dominate Vegeta, Vegeta roars in anger as he flys into the air "I will blow up this pathetic planet, Gallick Gun." Goku shouts "Kamehameha." Vegeta and Goku's attacks connect causing the surrounding area to shake. Vegeta said "I won't lose to you, you are struggling even now to keep up with this." Goku shouts "Kaioken times 4." His tremendous Kamehameha knock Vegeta flying. Goku collapses "it's finally over I think that got him." However Goku feels a energy fly back into the atmosphere and he gets up to see Vegeta standing there. Vegeta said "impressive but I will show you real power still impressive you pushed me to this." He fires a ball of energy into the air and shouts "burst open and mix." He then transforms into a tremendously huge ape.

Zira feels Vegeta's energy, she said "I need to go back, Goku needs help." Raditz said "your right, the Oozaru has arrived." Zira said "you 3 should take Nappa with you I can help but at least 2 of you will turn into great apes." Raditz said "you will transform too." Zira said "no, I do something different in full moonlight." she dashed back in the other direction, she arrived and saw Goku, she shouts "hey Vegeta". Vegeta turns around and laughs "your back to watch me kill him." She said "no I am here to stop you?" Vegeta laughed "you, weakling." Her eyes glowed bright red and her aura magnified." Vegeta asked "what did you do?" Zira said "this is my Oozaru force it provides a 20 x boost to power in full moonlight and so far I have only been able to achieve a 10 second temporary boost without moonlight." Vegeta said "so that's how you saved Nappa." Vegeta swung at her but she dodged and kicked him several times. She asked "Goku any plans to finish this." Goku said "I have 1 trick but it will take time to charge." Zira said "Fine, it is all or nothing remember, this better work because he still has about 50% stronger than me at a power level of 120 000." Zira rushes at Vegeta. Vegeta said "you are pretty strong but I will win." Vegeta launches several huge swings. Zira barely manages to dodge them and kicks him in the stomach repeatedly. Goku is charging up energy "please, to the world and all living things I need to borrow just a little energy." Energy starts to collect above his head.

Gohan, Krillin and Raditz meanwhile are transporting Nappa to a safe place at Zira's request. When they get to a hospital where all of them nurse their said to Raditz as he lied there "maybe you were right, I should have sided with you, I should have cared more about my race". Gohan said "I will be right back." Raditz said "Alright Gohan, now Nappa don't worry about this I was a fool to what matters is to learn from the mistakes of the past." Nappa said "thanks, Raditz." Gohan arrived back with 4 senzu beans. He passed one to Raditz and Krillin as well as eating one himself. Gohan walked over, "Nappa eat this." he said. Nappa asked "what a bean, why?" Gohan said "It will heal your injuries." Nappa said "fine." Gohan forced him to eat it. Nappa jumped up "yes I can move and fight again." Raditz said "calm down, you have too much energy." Nappa said "sorry". Raditz said "It seems there is a tremendous amount of energy heading towards the battlefield."

Back at the battlefield Vegeta hits Zira into the ground, then she flies backup and kicks him in the jaw. Goku meanwhile is thinking (almost done just a little more.) Vegeta knocks Zira into the ground and then tries to step on her, she manages to recover fast enough stop it from immediately crushing her but she is struggling to support the weight. Goku smiles "it's done" he said. He throws the attack shouting "Spirit Bomb." Vegeta barely notices the huge attack before being sent skyward. Zira laughs and shouts "we did, Goku." Goku flies over and collapses "yeah, we did it." Zira asked "are you alright?" Goku said "I am hurt from the use of the Kaioken x 3 and 4 which was beyond what my body could handle." Vegeta crashes back down. Vegeta stand up "I will kill you." Zira kicked him away. Vegeta shoots at the artificial moon and destroys it. "I will beat you now, that power of yours doesn't..." Zira put a fist to his stomach. He staggers backwards "how." Zira said "you took so much damage that you can't beat me even in my normal state, you better go." Vegeta said "I will be back." Zira said "I will be ready for you."

Back at the hospital after with everyone, Zira is sitting there and Goku is lying there in the hospital be, badly injured. Gohan said "I'm sorry dad but we used all the senzu beans." Zira said "If we want to bring back who we lost we will have to go to Namek." Gohan asked "what do you mean?" She said "Piccolo is a Namek so naturally his home world should have a set." Bulma said "could we use a saiyan space pod to get there." Zira said "that would be a bad idea, we couldn't transport enough of us should someone bad be there."Gohan said "you mean like Vegeta." Zira lied "yes, like Vegeta." Then a voice came from outside the window, "I know a way." Bulma looked outside she said "Mr Popo it's you." Mr Popo said "I have knowledge of a way to get there come with me and I'll show you." Bulma got on the carpet and left with Mr Popo.

Chi-Chi just arrived she as soon as she entered the ran to Gohan "are you okay, where does it hurt?" Gohan said "you are babying me." Chi-Chi said "I am going to take you home, the battlefield is not place for a child." Gohan said "I am going together my friend back I'm not going home I'm going to Namek ." Chi-Chi said "I forbid you to go." Zira said "you don't understand what you got yourself into if that's your attitude." Chi-Chi said "I want him to be a scholar". Zira said "you obviously new Goku was different, yet you think this is the life for Gohan, I am not saying knowledge is not important but as a half-saiyan he will be faced with many perils, what happens if some survivor of a race that was destroyed by saiyans turns up and his not ready for it, all that knowledge mean nothing if he is dead."Chi-Chi shouted "he is just a boy". Zira replied "I may not act like it but you forget I am not much older than he is." Chi-Chi shouts angrily "so why does that matter?" Zira shouted back "I saw my planet explode in front of me, I have seen nothing but death, my true parent was the battlefield it raised me from birth, I am a product of death and destruction, I am a living weapon in almost every sense battle is all I know. Most saiyans were put in squads, I did every mission alone I fought alone killed alone, I was very isolated, I spent time with other saiyans and cared for my race but none cared for me, I was too strong to be fit in completely with the lower classes but my blood prevented from being with the higher classes."

Gohan interjected angrily "now is not the time to be arguing! I am going that is the end of it!" Nappa said "I'm going too" Raditz said "count me in" Krillin asked Rhetorically"I will come to if I can be of any help, if Gohan is going, how can I not offer." Bulma said "I need a few days to get the ship ready." Zira said "we should get some training". Over the next few days the 5 of them trained together. Bulma contacted them and they all arrived. They all boarded the ship, and began the journey to Namek. Gohan said "we should do some Image training it will allow us to get stronger without destroying the ship." Zira said "I think that's a great idea the 3 of us will do the same." Nappa said "It would help us surpass Vegeta." Raditz said "fine let's do it." Zira, Nappa and Raditz connected their mind, they were all confronting one another, Nappa said "Raditz, imagine your Oozaru form." Raditz said "yeah". Zira went into Oozaru mode. Zira thinking (great 2 Oozarus), Nappa and Raditz start swinging at each other. Zira kicked them in the back and shouted come one then. However, once they turn their attention to her they act like they have lost control. Zira struggles to keep up with 2 wild apes who swing at her repeatedly. Zira fights on for a good hour, against the 2 large apes. However, they slam her into the ground under their feat and strike at her repeatedly. Her Oozaru mode gives out. Gohan and Krillin stop their training only to Zira bleeding on the ground, they kick Raditz and Nappa breaking the link between the 3 of them. Nappa asks "what was that for." Raditz said "because we were doing that." Zira is lying in a pool of blood.

They sit there for a few hours watching Zira sleep. Zira wakes to see everyone except Bulma sleeping around her. She tries to stand up, she collapses to the ground. Raditz wakes up "you shouldn't be walking, I'm really sorry hurting you." Zira said "I'm more angry at Nappa, he should be able control it he is an Elite, most Elites could do that." Zira stumbles out "I may be hurt but I won't lie in bed for this whole trip. Raditz train with me." Raditz said "fine, I will." Raditz and Zira do some image training for a couple of hour. Raditz stops "you're good at this, with those injuries you should not have kept up as well as you did." Zira said "You were holding back though." Raditz said "I was using half-power, but you are clearly at less than half of your full power due to injuries." Gohan and the others walk out. Gohan said "Zira, you should rest". Zira said "I can't rest it would annoy me to end I am a saiyan sitting still is something I can't do." Gohan said "fine but don't push yourself too hard." Zira said "there is a reason why I can't do that." Gohan asked "why?" Zira said "remember when I said like Vegeta." Gohan said concerned "yeah." Zira "well, I lied at least in part." Gohan asked "why did you lie?" Zira said "The person who we will have to face will be worse than Vegeta both more ruthless and much more powerful, his name is Frieza." Raditz said shocked "Frieza, no way can we beat him." Gohan asked "how strong is Frieza?" Zira said "at least worth 100 Vegetas maybe more. Gohan asked shocked "Do we really have to fight him?" Zira said "there's a good chance he found out about the dragonballs from the scouters so yes." Krillin said "I really don't like the sound of that." Nappa said "I didn't know." Raditz said "I hoped that it wasn't the case but with you saying that I have no doubts now."

3 Months past and finally they arrive on Namek. Raditz and Nappa step out first to look around Gohan and Krillin help Zira out of the ship. A few soldiers attack and damage the ship. Bulma jumps out "ahhhhh as she jumps out." Nappa and Raditz quickly knock them out. Nappa and Raditz said "we will take Bulma and Zira to a safe place. You two find the dragonballs and watch for Frieza he may look small but he is clearly the strongest." Gohan and Krillin get out the radar. Krillin said "lucky we brought this." Gohan said "4 have turned up on the radar in 1 location with a fifth nearby" They fly over there only to see 3 people threatening a village. They land listening in. The middle one in a strange looking transport device said "give me the dragonball and I won't kill you all." The Namekian Elder said "no, we will never give to an evil person like you." The middle one replied "Zarbon, give the order." Zarbon said "yes lord Frieza, attack them." A few soldiers attack the Nameks. However a few Namekian warriors arrive to fight them. Gohan whispers to Krillin "They can't beat the 3 back there their energies are too low. Namekian warriors defeat the standard soldiers pretty easily. Frieza said "Dodoria, take them out." Dodoria mercilessly decimates the 3 of them. The elder shoots all of their scouters. Frieza said "Well that is aggravating now give me the dragonball. The elder said "if you let us go." Frieza said "fine" The elder gave Dodoria the dragonball. Frieza asked "now kindly tell me where the next village is, since you so rudely destroyed our scouters." The elder said "that was not part of the deal." Frieza said "Dodoria." Dodoria, killed the elder in a second. Frieza said "now kill the kids". Dodoria killed one of the kids and turned his sights on the other. Krillin whispered "Gohan we can't beat them." Gohan flies in angrily and kicks Dodoria away grabs the dragonball and flies away, Krillin grabbed the kid. Frieza shouted "Dodoria, you idiot get them." Dodoria flew after them shouting "get back here, that dragonball belongs to Lord Frieza." Gohan passes the dragonball to Krillin. Gohan fires a masenko at Dodoria, Dodoria dodges only for Vegeta to kick him into the ground. Gohan and Krillin quickly fly away. Krillin asked "That was Vegeta, wasn't it?" Gohan said "yes." The Namekian boy they saved said "I'm scared." Gohan said "I know but we will try to keep you safe." He said "my name is Dende." Gohan said "well Dende we will introduce you to some friends." Gohan and Krillin saw Nappa flying toward them, Nappa said "You got one dragonball that's great." Gohan said "the bad news is Frieza has 4 of them and Vegeta is here as well."

When they get to the cave. They enter to found Raditz sitting next to Zira.
Gohan puts the dragonball in the corner. He walks over to Raditz , he asks "Is Zira alright?" Raditz said "she is still recovering." Dende said "I can heal people." He walks over and starts healing Zira wounds. Gohan said "everyone, except Dende and Zira come over here. The all ask "why?" Gohan said "we need to formulate a plan." Krillin asked "what should we do?" Gohan said "first, we should find Vegeta. "If he is out there, we could use his help." Krillin shouted "are you nuts." Gohan said "Frieza is at a level that even Vegeta would be wary of. It would make it simpler to take out Frieza and with all of us, Vegeta won't stand a chance should he try to pull something." Krillin asked "what is the second step." Gohan said "I don't know yet but we could use Vegeta's help."
