Oran, Applo, Pino, and Rose all flew towards where Rose sensed Dragon's power level and found Dragon's ship. The four of them landed near the entrance of Dragon's ship.
"Rose, you wait here. Keep your power level low and run if things start to go bad." Oran ordered.
Rose nodded as she watched the Saiyans walk into the ship. A few minutes later they came back out and gave Rose a thumbs up. The four of them flew back to the city to find the others and train with them.
"We were able to convince Dragon to give us two weeks to train, and a new scouter." Oran told the others when they returned.
"We should check what our power levels are now that the three of us had Zenkai Boosts." Applo said as he pulled out the scouter and put it on. "Mine is 360,000. Pino, yours is 235,000. And Oran, 125,000."
"The most important thing is teaching the three of you how to sense power levels," Lumber started. "Once we do that we can focus on just getting stronger."
"I agree." Rose said.
"Okay, everyone we have a lot of work to do. Let's go find some place to train." Root suggested.
The group all agreed and the 10 of them began searching for an area to train.
"So, you guys can really sense people's power levels without a scouter?" Oran asked Rose as they walked through the forest.
"Yes. It's like their aura. Most of the time. Sometime's if a person's power level is a lot lower it becomes harder to sense." Rose explained.
"That doesn't sound too hard. Can you teach me?" Oran asked excitedly.
"Sure. Just keep in mind that it takes practice and patience. But I think two weeks will be more than enough." Rose said with a smile.
After training for a week the group was finally in top shape. On top of the Saiyan's now having the ability to sense power levels, Applo's power level had increased to 520,000. Pino's was now 340,000. Oran's was 180,000. Violet's was 15,000. Lily's 13,000. Branch's 10,000. Rose's 8,000. Root's 6,000. Lumber's 5,000. And Azalea's was 3,500. They wished they could have trained a little longer but they knew they were out of time. They only had enough time to prepare themselves for a fight when Dragon arrived to attack them.
"So, I see your power levels have all increased. Very interesting. But do you really think you stand a chance against me now?" Dragon remarked with a smug grin. "After all, I'm still almost 30 times as strong as all of you put together. So exactly, what's your plan?"
"To kill you!" Oran yelled as he charged at Dragon, the others close behind him.
Dragon dodged Oran's punch easily and then he grabbed Oran's arm before he could get another hit off. Oran struggled to break free but Dragon held on tight.
"Let go of me!" Oran yelled angrily.
"Why would I do that?" Dragon smirked as he tightened his grip on Oran's arm. "If I let you go you'd just try to kill me again." Dragon tossed Oran to the side and began fighting everyone else at once.
Applo punched Dragon in the stomach and then kicked him while he was doubled over. Applo followed up by kicking Dragon in the ribs and knocking him to the ground. As soon as he was down Applo tried to shoot a large energy blast at him but Dragon managed to recover and began blitzing Applo.
With a loud snap Applo's leg broke. Applo screamed in pain and fell to the ground. His leg didn't look very good, so Applo crawled away from Dragon.
"Now, you're going to die." But before Dragon could hit Applo again Lily and Violet rushed him together. They both grabbed Dragon's arms and legs and started pulling and stretching them. Dragon swung his arms and legs tossing Violet and Lily away before turning his attention to Pino.
Pino stepped forward and punched Dragon in the face. Dragon grunted and stumbled backward. Pino jumped at Dragon but he grabbed Pino out of the air and threw him into a hillside. Pino quickly got back on his feet and ran at Dragon again.
This time Dragon caught Pino and swung him around. Dragon threw Pino into the side of the mountain and Pino slid down it until he stopped.
Azalea charged at Dragon and attempted to jump on his back but Dragon grabbed Azalea and flung her into a tree. Azalea struggled to get out of the tree and finally managed to climb up to safety.
Rose saw all this happen and she realized she couldn't win against Dragon alone. Oran had come back from Dragon's attack and was now standing side by side with Rose, Lumber, Root, and Branch. "Let's all go from different directions. The five of us at once will overwhelm him!" All five fighters rushed Dragon and began fighting him all at once. Dragon quickly recovered from the constant attacks and began using his tail to block their blows as well. The five of them quickly got tired from using too much of their energy to attack Dragon. They ran out of steam and stopped attacking completely. Dragon stood still and looked at the five of them.
"Well, looks like you're not going to win. Maybe next time," Dragon laughed as he slapped all of them into the ground with his tail. "You know what, this was almost fun." Dragon mocked as he crossed his arms. "So I'll tell you what. Lord Heeta gave me a mission extension, so I'll give you guys five more months to train. If you can't beat me then, I'll destroy the planet. How does that sound?"
"Fuck…you…" Oran said weakly as he shot an energy blast at Dragon who just smacked it away with his tail.
"Always so feisty Oran. Better make the most of your training." And with that final remark, Dragon flew away, leaving the defeated warriors to gather themselves up.
"I can't believe we lost that badly again!" Oran roared as he angrily punched a mountain.
"It's not the end of the world Oran. We've only trained for two weeks. But now we have more time." Applo said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Five months to train. Let's get down to it!" Oran replied.
The next day the group woke up early and they began training once more. Oran and Rose spent a lot of time working on their speed and agility. They practiced running, jumping, and rolling on the ground a lot. The two only ever seemed to want to train with each other. Meanwhile Pino and Applo were making incredible bounds in strength by sparring with each other 15 hours a day. The rest of the humans were working out and soaring with each other as well, but they knew that even if they got incredibly stronger during these five months, none of them could defeat Dragon. It was up to one of the three Saiyan Brothers.
As the days passed by, the group was pushing themselves to the limit of what they thought they could do. They would work out until they were exhausted and then spend every second of free time sparring. Every day they pushed themselves harder and longer than before and started to see amazing results. Everyone had grown stronger, and at the end of their five months they noticed that all of them were nearly six times stronger than before. They still had the scouter Dragon gave them so they began reading power levels. Applo's was 3,000,000. Pino's was 2,000,000. Oran's was 1,000,000. Violet's was 85,000. Lily's was 74,000. Branch's was 55,000. Rose's was 45,000. Root's was 36,000. Lumber's was 30,000. Azalea's was 20,000.
These boosts in power gave little comfort as they knew Dragon was still about five times stronger than all of them combined. But it didn't matter whether or not they were ready, because exactly 151 days after their last fight, Dragon had returned and prepared to fight them again.
