A/N: Espeon804 here with another great chapter! Once again, thank you so very much for the awesome reviews! To be honest, I never had this many before! Keep them up!
As you can see, in this fanfic, Gohan is not a cry-baby scary-cat like he is in the show, because he has been trained by Saiyans!
This time… Kakarot steps into the battlefield…
You know what? I just realized that Goku grows more evil steadily each chapter. What do you think? Honestly, I don't pay attention on how i write because like I said before, I type out whatever strikes my mind as an idea first.
Do you guys even read my Author Notes? Doesn't matter but, I'm just wondering.

- Chapter 8: Tien's and Chiaotzu's efforts! Kakarot's punishment treatment!-
Everyone watches carefully as the monk's attack grows more intense. This interests the Saiyans, wondering what trick this earthling is about to pull.
"Okay, that's it! You jerks are about to get a taste of your own medicine!" Krillin shouts as the gathered energy becomes crackling strong. "Take this!" He trusts his arms hard with a throw. The gathered energy turns into a huge yellow blast but, it is moving awfully slow.
Nappa isn't so pleased with this earthling's efforts. "What's with the slow-mo blast?"
Kakarot however doesn't lower his guard even a bit. He knew Krillin since he was a child. He knows that his former best friend always had a good trick up his sleeve. He gets into a stance as the attack gets slowly closer. "Hey guys, don't let your guard down." He decided to warn them in case they misjudged the situation.
Krillin then throws his arms up just before it was going to hit the Saiyan who was going to dodge it so easily. After reaching a good amount of feet, the monk throws his arms down hard, and the huge blast splits into 5 individual ones that are so much more faster. They shoot down powerfully towards the Saiyans. They all get into a defensive stance to protect themselves as the blast rains down on them faster than they could dodge. Explosions go on all over the ground making the ground shake and the dirt fly. It settles down after several seconds.
"Yeah!" Chiaotzu laughs in belief that Krillin has got them all.
"Awesome job Krillin!" Tien praises.
"Yeah, but I will feel much better if I know that it got all of them." Krillin rejoins the group occasionally glancing back at the flaring dust cloud.
"Just remember that this fight is just getting started. Don't let your guard down for even a second." Piccolo warns him. He isn't all too convinced that the attack was enough to kill them except perhaps Gohan. "We are just warming up."
Suddenly, laughter breaks out among the dust. All 5 Saiyans in fact. It sounds like as if they are completely fine!
"What?!" The Namekian stares at the dust cloud as it finally clears away, revealing the unharmed Saiyans. Only there armor suffered from it, but it only had a few scratches. Just how durable is that armor is he wonders?!
"Is that all they got?" Vegeta chuckles as he and his comrades step out the dust and towards the Z-Fighters. "This is going to be a breeze!"
Karot chuckles as well. "That didn't hurt at all! This is so easy!"
Krillin is dumbfounded. He had been working in that attack for months and it seems so effective. But to the Saiyans? It's ineffective! It's like as if they are immune to anything they throw at them. Now he's clueless on what to do. "Aw man! I put everything into that blast! So... This is what Saiyans are like...!"
"Damn! They took that attack head in and they aren't even breathing hard!" Tien thinks. "Just how powerful are these guys exactly?!"
Vegeta turns to his long time comrade Nappa. "I think that we are done fooling around Nappa. If they don't want to play by our rules then fine. We'll just end this quickly because this is getting boring."
"Lemme at 'em Vegeta!" Nappa requests. He frowns when the prince shakes his head in disagreement.
"Save your strength for the purging of this ball of dirt. Really, this isn't truly outer mission. We should let the one who was assigned to show us just what he can do. He can fight anyone except the Namekian. I have a few questions for him first, then he - or we can do whatever we would like with him. I want to see just what Kakarot is capable of... Along with his little brat."
Karot sighs as his shoulders slump. "Again?" He thinks.
Kakarot realizes that he is being mentioned. This is his great opportunity to show then just how worthy he can be. A wide dark smirk spreads across his face at the thought of defeating all the fighters standing before him, the fighters who kept many secrets from him. He starts to crack his knuckles once more. "This hopefully will be fun." He says as he starts to walk in a line as he evaluates each fighter. They stare back at him all in their own stance, not knowing who will be fighting first. "Now... Which one?"
Karot copies his father's movements, evaluating the fighters as well. Since he is not all that strong yet, he tries to since an opponent who is the weakest. It's not something to take pride in but, it is for the best. He'll just have to tap into his power and win somehow. He picks up the energy he was hoping for and his eyes lock with Chiaotzu's. The tiny clown-looking fighter's face widened in realization that he has been picked. Karot grins mischievously as he takes a step towards him.
Kakarot is still thinking. He would like to take on Piccolo but that is prohibited 'till further notice. He's aware that his son has already picked a target so he is left with just Tien and Krillin. He finally decided to end one of this long-time rivalries. His grin widens as he looks at Krillin. "Think fast!" He warns him.
"What?" Krillin sees Kakarot suddenly vanish right in front of him, but really, the Saiyan is just moving incredibly fast. In that same moment, he senses Kakarot right behind him. Before he could react, he gets kicked in the back and he crashes to the ground. How did he get so fast? Krillin jumps to his feet and just in time, he blocks a punch that he was so close to receiving. He tries to keep up with Kakarot's attacks since it dawns to him that his childhood friend's speed has increased as much as his strength. He struggles as he tries to push away the first from hitting him but, it looks like Kakarot has the upper hand.
"Hah-hah-hah-hah!" Kakarot laughs at the struggling filled expression written all over Krillin's face. "What's the matter buddy? You look like you can't keep up! I thought that you guys were training hard all year!" He catches the attempted punch that Krillin tries to give him with his free hand. Kakarot gives his former friend a dark smile. "You and I in the past use to fight like this all the time huh? Good times!" He starts to crush Krillin's first and the monk starts to yell from the pain. "The good times before I found out who I really am!"
"G-gah! G-Goku!" Krillin shouts. "Please stop! You don't have to do this! We're sorry that we didn't tell you, honest!"
"You should've thought twice about that a long time ago!" Kakarot adds more pressure to his grip, and Krillin's shouts became louder as he tugs hard, trying to break free. "Oops. I think I broke a few of your bones in there did I?"
Meanwhile, Chiaotzu yelps as he gets kicked in the face by Karot. Not long after that he is kicked to the ground. Karot lands in front of him in a stance that looks like defense.
"This isn't fun! Can you please fight back at least?!" Karot growls. "Kicking you around like this is just boring!"
Chiaotzu stands and puts his hands in front of him while closing his eyes. He is trying to hypnotize the young warrior.
Karot feels strange and he tries to shake the feeling away but it lingers. Annoyed, he fires a small blast at his opponent and watches him fall to the ground again. "Maybe I should've picked a different person to fight?" His ears pick up the sound of Krillin shouting. He turns and sees his father squeezing the life out of Krillin's hands. Then something punches him on his back and his face slams on the ground. He can't even let his guard down for a second. He gets up and takes note on his now bleeding nose. "Now I'm mad!" He lunges at the little fighter with a raised fist and attempts to punch him, but it is dodged. "Why are you holding back? You want me to stay alive because my father was once your friend? He's not anymore, so stop it!" He lunges at him again with another attempt but, it is dodged again. "Stop running away!"
"Hm. The brat is really up for a challenge." Vegeta mutters with a finger under his chin. He is watching the fight carefully. "Both Kakarot's and his brat's fighting styles are the same as the Humans. I've never seen it before. Kakarot's brat does have some of yours Raditz."
"My brother was trained with these fools." Raditz explains. "That explains how they fight so similarly. Kakarot and I trained Karot. I guess that's all that can be said."
Suddenly, a huge yellow blast nearly explodes at Kakarot's feet. The Saiyan stumbles, resulting to freeing the monk from his grip. He glares at Piccolo who was responsible. "Stop interfering Piccolo! This isn't your fight!"
"Well, I was getting tired of the screaming!" Piccolo shouts in reply.
"Yeah, thanks." Krillin thinks while rubbing his hands.
Karot watches the scene with some interest. "That attack took a lot of ki." He spins around and kicks Chiaotzu away who attempted to ambush him. "I wonder if I can pull that off." He smiles. "Well, maybe I can't. I still have to take care of things though!" His feet starts to rise from the ground as he looks down at Chatzou who lies on the ground. "You bore me! I'll just end it!" He soars down towards Chiaotzu faster than he flew before. He allows gravity to do its work.
"Well, well. Looks like the kid is about to make his first kill. Isn't that precious?" Nappa announces to the Humans. He burst out in laughter afterwards.
"What?" Tien's head spins to his friend's direction. "Chiaotzu look out!"
Chiaotzu looks up and sees the upcoming treat. He jumps out the way.
"Wha?!" Karot realizes this. "Oh, no! I'm about to hit the ground!" He tries to slow himself down, but due to his panic, he forgot how to fly and he crashes.
Raditz facepalms.
Karot pushes himself up and glares at Nappa. "I would've had him!" He would had but, Nappa apparently has a big mouth. Perhaps he's too open-minded.
"You were the one who lost focused kido. I have always stumbled upon that situation and I still managed to pull it off!" Nappa points out. "You'll have to go a little faster next time!"
"Jerk." Karot mumbles low enough so that Nappa won't hear. The young warrior turns his attention once again towards Chiaotzu who hovers above him and watching carefully. He'll have to think of something else. Throughout the year he has learned a lot from his uncle. A small thought does cross his mind. "Nappa sir. How about you come fight too? Show us just how strong you are! Please?"
The Saiyan General thinks about it for a minute. he looks to his prince.
"Go ahead, but don't get carried away." Prince Vegeta gives him the ticket. "There is another available opponent after all. it won't be any fun just watching him stand by."
"Alright! You hear that three-eyes? You're up!"
Tien gets into a stance, determined to take this guy on.
Kakarot slams Krillin on the ground and pins him down with a foot. He watches him flail around. "Stay still for a minute will you? I want to see something first." As usual, he likes to witness the power of others. It motivates him to do more training to reach such abilities. At the moment, everyone does stop fighting when the ground suddenly shakes violently. Rocks rise from the ground as the elite-class warrior Nappa builds up intense energy.
Chiaotzu attempts to hypnotize Nappa, but his eyes open in shock. "It's… It's no use!"
The ground splits in chunks near Tien's feet as he listens to his buddy. "What?"
"I tried to hypnotize him but, he didn't even blink!"
Crackling yellow energy engulfs the Saiyan. He the sprints towards Tien and he tries to land hits but Tien manages to block some. It was a mistake because as Nappa strikes his arm, his hand turned red.
Piccolo seems to suspect was is going on. "Get out of there!"
Too late. Tein takes another hit on his arm, and it snaps off clean.
"AAAAHH!" Tien covers his wounded arm. His hand and wrist has been cut clean.
"Well, well. Looks like he lost his right to bear arms." Vegeta says with a chuckle.
"TIEN!" Chiaotzu screams in horror.
Krillin has seen the whole thing. He glances at Yamcha who has fallen before, then at the injured Tien. "I-I'm coming Tien!" He springs up well enough to knock kakarot off his feet and he springs towards his friend.
"No Krillin!" Piccolo warns him.
"Just shut up!" Krillin snaps.
Nappa sees the monk coming his way. "Mind your own business!" He swings his arm which unleashes a gigantic blast. It slams on the ground near Krillin and causes a series of explosions on the ground.
Piccolo is in shock. The ground that took the hit was no longer there. It left behind a huge gashing crater. "I can't even see the bottom! the amount of energy that must took is-"
"Whoa…" Karot is amazed on what he just witnessed. This makes him glad that he isn't on the Human's side. He believes that he would've been dead by now.
"Hm." Nappa punches Tien across the field.
Vegeta is a bit amused with the whole scene, but he frowns when he sees Chiaotzu flying towards him."Nappa, you might want to look behind you."
"Huh?" Nappa turns and sees Chiaotzu get on his back and cling on him. The fighter then starts to glow. "Hey!" He doesn't like this so he shoots to the air and rams his back on a cliff side to get rid of him, but he stays on.
"Tien!" Chiaotzu cries out in telepathy. "Listen to me!" When he has his friend's attention, he continues. "Don't forget about me okay?"
Tien realizes what is about to take place. "No Chiaotzu! Don't do this!" He cringes when he watches his friend gets slammed into another cliff side. "Think this over! You don't have to do this!"
As Nappa finally realizes that it'll take more to take the fighter down, he soars down to a huge cluster of rocks that should do the job. Chiaotzu glows brighter. As he gathers energy, he smiles one last time. "Just don't let them kill you okay?"
"Chiaotzu! DON'T!" Tein cries out.
Just before Nappa could reach his destination, Chatou blows up and took Nappa along with it.
"CHIAOTZU!" Tien is mouth dropped in complete shock. It as if time is at standstill as images of the past plays in his head. "N-NOOOOOO!"
Piccolo doesn't feel any sympathy for the clown-like fighter. He just smiles as he watched the clouds of dust. "Good thinking. Sacrificing his life to kill a Saiyan."
Kakarot's teeth grit together. Did Nappa just die from that?! he just got here and he's already dead?! He isn't all convinced. He can still sense energy.
Nappa's laughter is heard as the dust clears. The earthlings are in great disbelief. He is not harmed, but his armor is chipped off in many places. "Looks like that makes one less earthling to deal with."
"H-he's still alive after taking that?!" Krillin gasps. "And Chatzou… he blew himself up for nothing!"
Tien is still in total shock. "We… we've spent so many years together! And now…" His fist clutches as his anger rises. "He's dead! Nothing can bring him back now! Not even the Dragon Balls!" He picks up a rock that suffered from the explosion and squeezes it hard.
Nappa laughs again as he lands on the ground. "Aw now. No need to grieve. All of you are about to be reunited!"
Hearing that, Tien gives the most angry look he has ever given anyone. "I'll… I'LL KILL YOU!" The rock is shattered in his reminding hand. He then charges at the Saiyan with a raging shout. He throws a punch at Nappa but the saiyan dodges and he takes down a whole boulder to pieces. He tries to kick the Saiyan, but he misses. All his attacks are delivered desperately to avenge his friend, but he makes no progress.
Nappa had enough and he kicks him down once more. "I'm getting tired of just throwing you around! Aren't you? How about we just end this?" What he said is similar to what Karot said to Chatzou recently but, it is more intimidating and means death. He rises from the ground to deliver the finishing move.
Tien refuses to die this way. He struggles to his feet and as the Saiyan gets higher, he makes a promise. "Chiaotzu… I will not let your death stay in vain. I'll take this Saiyan down right now…" His only hand starts to crackle. "...or… I'll be with you again!" He locks on to his target, and shouts out the last sentence with all the rage he gathered. "Tri beam… HAAAAAA!" His hand unleashed his ultimate attack that shoots fast towards the Saiyan. Nappa screams believing that it is the end of his life as he took the attack head on.
"A direct hit!" Piccolo says.
Kakarot shields his son so that he won't blow away from the intense attack. "He took that too far! using all that ki in one blast…!"
- Kame House -
Master Roshi looks closer at the television as the screen goes yellow. "Whoa! Do you think he got him?"
- The warzone -
The dust clears and reveals Nappa whose armor is even worse than before, but he's still unharmed. he is proud to still be alive. "Some attack. For a second there I thought I was done for!"
Tien tries to catch his breathe. He knows that he failed to avenge his friend. He gives Nappa a hate filled look as he says two words; "You bastard..." Then he falls dead.
Krillin is horrified. He and Piccolo are the only ones remaining and no Saiyan has fallen yet. "Everyone is dying and I don't know how to stop it…" He hears foot steps and turns around in time to have a hand go around his throat and strangle him in the air. his eyes widen when he sees the one responsible.
"Your right. You don't know how." Kakarot says as he gives krillin the most terrifying grin ever seen. It is so dark to the point that no one would even know Goku anymore as a hero. "So how about you join the others?" His hand creates a ki ball that could be enough to kill him in close range. He has to admit that he enjoys seeing the horrified look on his former friend's faces as they face their fates. They deserve it. Every earthling on the planet does. The thought makes Kakarot laugh. Not his happy goofy laugh, but the kind of laugh to expect from any villain. One thing is clear…
Goku isn't Goku anymore.
