Gohan, Piccolo and Ocarin had finished up their sparring when they noticed the sky turning dark and storm clouds started to roll in. The enternal dragon had been summoned.
"So, Goku's coming back to life, huh? It's it a little too early for that?" Ocarin questioned. Piccolo's eyes widen, realizing. "That would mean that the Saiyans are arriving sooner than we've expected!"
"I'm sensing two very large energy levels." Ocarin spoke. "They destroyed a city."
"So, the Saiyans have finally come." Piccolo replied.
"Their Ki is enormous." Gohan said, nervously.
"They're coming. Be ready." Piccolo said. Numerous dinosaurs, birds, and other critters flocked as they ran away from where the energy levels were coming from.
"The animals are running away." Ocarin pointed out.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. We've become stronger than we were a year ago." Piccolo replied.
"Right!" Gohan nodded.
"I'm more concerned than afraid. I'm getting a really bad feeling all of a sudden." Ocarin told them then looked at Piccolo. "Piccolo, I want you to be careful. Gohan, if it gets too dicey, I want you to run."
"Oh, please. It's nothing that all of us can't handle. If we run now, then all of our training would have been for nothing." Piccolo snorted. Ocarin frowned at him.
"Piccolo. I'm serious." She told him. "Don't do anything rash." He didn't respond to her. "I hope that I'm wrong."
"Something else is coming this way from that direction, too! And someone else is coming from over there, as well!" Piccolo shouted.
"But I thought that there were supposed to be only two Saiyans!" Gohan exclaimed.
"It's probably the others." Ocarin pointed out.
"Others?" Gohan questioned. Krillin hopped down from the plateau as he flew, landing beside them.
"Hey, long time no see, Piccolo. Ocarin." He smiled.
"Krillin." Ocarin smiled back.
"So, it was you." Piccolo smirked. "What business to you have here? Did you come to get in our way?"
"Piccolo, we need all the help that we can get." Ocarin frowned.
"She's right. I've improved a little, myself." Krillin told him.
"So, it seems. I'm guessing the others are coming here as well?" Piccolo asked.
"Yeah, they are. I was the closest one nearby." Krillin explained. Gohan's eyes widened, recognizing Krillin.
"I remember you! You're one of the people that was at the Turtle hermit's place!"
Krillin nodded, introducing himself to Gohan. "Yeah, I'm Krillin. You've gotten stronger, haven't you? You look exactly like Goku when he was a kid."
"You're small, but strong, right? My dad said that about you a lot. You're going to help us fight, right?" Gohan told him. Krillin frowned, looking a little irritated.
"What do you mean small? That jerk-just because he grows a little bit taller and thinks he's so big. But, still, it must have been rough having Piccolo train you, right?" He retorted.
"Yeah. But Mister Piccolo is a much better person than I thought. He didn't train me by himself. Ocarin also helped trained me as well." Gohan told him.
"Enough of the chit-chat! They're here!" Piccolo shouted. Everyone looked up when they sensed the two Saiyans, who were floating above them, looking down at them. One of them was bald and large in size, wearing armor and boots. The other had spikey hair pointing upwards, wearing armor, boots and white gloves, as well.
"There they are, there they are! There's one more of them now, making four." Nappa spoke.
"It appears they know all about us." Vegeta smirked, looking at Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan and Ocarin.
"So, those are the Saiyans, huh? I can sense an incredible Ki from them." Krillin murmured. The two Saiyans landed in front of the group a few feet away.
"Looks like you've been waiting anxiously for us." Vegeta replied.
"Yep. Earth is closed. Go home." Ocarin spoke.
"Just for the record, let me ask you, what the hell have you come here for?" Piccolo questioned. Vegeta's eyes widened a little recognizing Piccolo's voice and smirked.
"That voice. So, you're the one who defeated Raditz, right?"
"Voice?" Piccolo asked.
"Didn't Raditz tell you?" Vegeta pointed to his visor. "Our visors acts as a communicator as well." Nappa blinked. He glanced over at Vegeta.
"Hey, Vegeta, isn't this guy an Namekian?" He pointed out to Piccolo. Piccolo's eyes widen in surprise. Ocarin's eyes widen a little as well in surprise. Namekian? That's what we are?
"So, it would seem. I'm not surprised that Raditz was done in by one." Vegeta replied.
"Namekian?" Piccolo questioned. Krillin and Gohan looked at Piccolo.
"Piccolo! You're an alien, too? That would explain a lot..." Krillin replied.
"I-Is that right, Mister Piccolo?" Gohan asked him. Piccolo didn't answer, still stunned by the surprising revelation.
"I get it. In addition to having an unusual high-power level, I've heard that Namekians have certain remarkable abilities." Vegeta explained.
Piccolo listened to him as he continued. "I'm an Namekian? There are others like me?"
"I've also heard that there are some that can perform magician-like feats. You must the one who created the Dragon Balls."
"The Dragon Balls are our first objective. Hand them over without making any trouble." Nappa smirked, clenching his fist. "Even if you are an Namekian, by yourself, you're nothing more than a common housefly to us!"
Piccolo smirked. "Thanks. Because of you, I'm starting to understand more about my heritage. But, unfortunately for you, I'm not the one who created the Dragon Balls. You see, I'm the kind that specializes in fighting. Just come and try and we'll see whether or not I'm a housefly!"
Back on the Lookout, Kami had witnessed the entire conversation, hearing the news as well. Mr. Popo looked at him with a worried look on his face. "Kami."
"I-I didn't know. To think that I am an alien. No wonder I always felt so different from everyone else. I am definitely the one who created the Dragon Balls long ago. Even though it was the first time I had ever made any, they seemed strangely familiar. There was probably someone on Planet Namek that also created something like the Dragon Balls. There were still distant memories of my ancestors within me."
"Looks like you don't have any intention of telling us about the Dragon Balls. Fine with me. You'll talk even if I have to beat it out of you!" Nappa taunted. He looked at his visor, reading everyone's power levels. "981." His eyes stopping at Gohan. "1220." As he read Piccolo's. "1083." As he read Krillin's. Then Nappa looked over at Ocarin, reading hers. His eyes widen a little in surprise. "2034." He let out a dark chuckle.
"You miserable fools! You plan on facing us with that kind of power levels?" Vegeta stopped him, taking off his visor.
"Nappa, take off your scouter. These guys can alter their power levels. We can't rely on them."
"Now that you mention it. That idiotic wimp Raditz was done in because he was overconfident and relied on his scouter too much." Nappa pointed. Ocarin frowned, looking at them and glanced over at Vegeta.
"So much for them for being dumb too. That other guy on the other hand seems to be calling the shots. Got to be careful around him."
"That wimp Raditz?" Piccolo questioned.
"Raditz was that Saiyan that you and Goku were fight, right?" Krillin replied, a little nervous, starting to sweat a little. "Oh boy."
"I know, what do you say we have ourselves a look at what they are capable of? Nappa, there are still six Saibamen, right? Bring them out!" Vegeta told his partner. Nappa made a menacing snicker and nodded.
"Saibamen?" Ocarin questioned.
"What's that?" Gohan asked as well.
"Once you see the Saibamen, I imagine you'll want to tell us about the Dragon Balls." Vegeta smirked. Nappa pulled out a small capsule filled with seeds and started to plant them in the ground.
"This soil will grow some nice fine Saibamen." Then he began to pour some liquid onto the seeds. Everyone braced themselves, waiting for what was to come. Suddenly, the ground cracked open as six heads sprouted out underneath and little green creatures popped out. They all began to cackle menacingly, looking at the fighters.
"T-They seem friendly." Krillin joked, nervously. Then the Saibamen lunged at the four but didn't attack them as they started to wreak havoc, hopping around and demolishing the area and destroying the mountains.
"More like a bunch of showoffs." Ocarin frowned, unimpressed.
"They seem pretty strong." Gohan replied, nervously.
"So it would appear." Piccolo spoke. The six Saibamen hopped back over to Vegeta and Nappa, smirking at the fighters.
"Those are your targets. Do them some harm, Saibamen." Vegeta ordered them.
"Gohan, don't take your eyes off of them!" Krillin warned. Gohan nodded. "There's nothing to be afraid of." Piccolo said.
"Right!" Gohan replied.
The six Saibamen lunged at Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan and Ocarin. The four of them each took on two, clashing against them. The two Saibamen charged at Ocarin. She quickly deflected their punches and dodged as they tried to grab her. Ocarin managed to grab both of the Saibamens arms. They stared at her in shock then she slammed both of their arms down on her knees, breaking them. Both Saibamen let out a painful screech and she tossed them over to Vegeta and Nappa. While they were clashing with their alien opponents, Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan were surprised that Ocarin had managed to take down hers so quickly. Gohan's Saibamen let out a mischievous chuckle and kicked Gohan in the face while he was distracted, knocking the boy down. Piccolo pushed his Saibamen back and quickly landed in front of Gohan, standing in front of the Saibamen.
"Gohan, don't lose your nerve!" Piccolo shouted. Gohan stood up and stood beside Piccolo, getting into a fighting stance. The two Saibamen near Vegeta and Nappa began to tremble and whimper in fear as they stared at Ocarin, who was quietly waiting. Vegeta frowned, looking at her. There was something about this girl. Something that was not right. Nappa was getting more anxious as well, mostly wanting to fight. Then the Saiyan prince and looked down at the two aliens, glaring at them.
"Don't be such wimps! She's just one person! After her! Or do I have to put you both out of my misery myself!" He growled. Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin's Saibamen landed next to Ocarin's, regrouping as they stared down the fighters.
"This time let's bring the fight to them!" Krillin smirked, getting ready to fight again.
"Krillin!" Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and Ocarin looked up to see Tien and Chiaotzu fly down, landing next to them.
"Tien! Chiaotzu, you're here, too!" Krillin exclaimed, surprised, but also happy to see them.
"Weren't there only supposed to be two Saiyans?"
"That's them." Ocarin spoke. "You miss out quite a lot actually.
"You work for Kami?" Tien asked her, wondering. Ocarin nodded. Then Tien glanced down, seeing Gohan next to Piccolo. "Is that Goku's son?"
"Yeah. He's been training with Piccolo and Ocarin." Krillin explained to him.
"What shrimps." Chiaotzu cringed in fear as Nappa spoke. He smirked. "Saibamen, make them all suffer!" The little aliens chuckled darkly as they slowly began to inch towards the fighters.
"Just a minute!" Yamcha flew down, landing next to the Z fighters. "Krillin, sorry I'm late."
"Yamcha!" Krillin smiled. Yamcha looked around. "It seems that we're all here, except for Goku."
"Seven, huh? Interesting. But we're one Saibamen short." Vegeta smirked.
"It appears." Nappa agreed.
"How about all of you take turns in fighting each one of our soldiers?" Vegeta asked. "It'll be a game."
"A game? Ridiculous!" Piccolo growled.
"Actually, I'd rather take both of you on and the Saibamen." Ocarin spoke. "I'm getting kind of bored." Everyone's eyes widen as did Piccolo's as they stared at her. She's going to fight all of them at once?! Has she gone crazy?
"What are you doing?" Piccolo questioned her.
"Trust me." Ocarin told him. She turned and stepped up, facing the
"I feel kind of dirty letting her fight all of them alone." Yamcha replied.
"What is she thinking? She can't take them all at once!" Krillin hissed.
"I'd like to see you try!" Vegeta laughed. "If you can get through all of our Saibamen that is!" Ocarin held her hand out aiming at the group. Vegeta and Nappa's eyes widen in shock when she quickly fired a large purple energy beam at them. The two quickly dodged as they flew out of the way and the beam engulfed the six Saibamen, disintegrating them. As the smoke, cleared, everyone gasped in shock in sight of a large crater, that stretched for a mile, where the beam had blasted the Saibamen. Vegeta and Nappa gaped, shocked, as well.
"T-The Saibamen! They're all gone!" Nappa shouted. Vegeta quickly snapped his head back over at Ocarin, who was smirking up at them. "And then, there was two." She taunted. Vegeta growled. He landed back on the ground, front of he,r a few feet away. Nappa landed beside him, looking a little tense but also excited for a fight.
"JUST WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT, WOMAN!?" Vegeta roared angrily. Ocarin tilted her head to the side, innocently.
"What do you mean?" she blinked.
"Vegeta, I thought that you said her power level was a mere 2034?" Nappa asked him.
"They can mask their energy levels, or have you forgotten? Our scouters are meaningless." Vegeta retorted.
"Then why don't you scan me and see for yourself? I'm curious, as well. I'll stand still, I promise. I'll unleash everything I've got." Ocarin smirked. Vegeta glared at her but placed his visor on his head, turning it back on. Ocarin yelled as she started to gain her energy to release it, the visor began to read her levels. The numbers slowly started to rise, and Vegeta's eyes widened in shock.
"Vegeta, what is it?!" Nappa shouted.
"I-It's...25,000." Vegeta sputtered in shock. The Z fighters stared in shock as well.
"So, I'm guessing what you're saying, judging by that expression on your face. Is that you're royally screwed, is that it?" Ocarin asked. Sweat began to appear on Vegeta's face. "Her energy...it feels like I've felt something like this before. Familiar and dangerous." The Saiyan prince's eyes widened, "She couldn't be a-"
"Nappa, this is an order! Take her out at once!" Vegeta shouted, urgently. All of the Z fighters gasped as Nappa began to charge up his energy.
"I don't know about you guys. But I'm not about to let some lady show off and have all of the fun!" Yamcha shouted. He rushed in, heading towards Nappa. Ocarin blinked in surprise as he rushed past her.
"Yamcha, wait!" Krillin shouted.
"That idiot!" Piccolo shouted.
"Don't!" Ocarin shouted. It was too late. Nappa fired a blast, directly at Yamcha, while also aiming for the others as well. Yamcha couldn't get out of the way in time while the other Z fighters flew out of the blast. Ocarin quickly teleported grabbing Gohan. Krillin's eyes widen in horror as did everyone else when they saw Yamcha, not moving. He was dead.
"N-No!" Gohan cried out.
"H-He's dead..." Krillin muttered, gritting his teeth, grimly. "Damn it all! Damn it! What do I tell Bulma and Puerh!?"
"What a pathetic end." Nappa chuckled.
"Hey, clean that filth up. He's polluting up the place." Vegeta retorted. Krillin glared at him.
"You dirty bastard!" He growled, furiously. "Get back everyone!" Krillin shouted to the others, and he looked down at Yamcha. "Yamcha, I swear. I'll avenge you, no matter what! Let me show you my results of my training!"
Krillin began gathering his energy then unleashed the beam at Nappa. "What is that? A slow-moving blast?"
"We'll be caught in the blast!" Tien shouted. He quickly flew to get to a safer place a few feet away. Chiaotzu followed behind him. Krillin diverted the beam, making it go upwards above the two Saiyans. Ocarin flew following after them but stopped when she saw that Piccolo and Gohan weren't coming. "What are you waiting for!? We need to move now!" She called out. Gohan didn't move, still in shock by the massive power. Piccolo quickly turned when he noticed wasn't moving.
"It's got tremendous energy but almost no speed at all. It's like it's saying, "Get out of the way!" Piccolo snapped at him. Gohan's eyes widened and shook his head, snapping out of his trance. He quickly flew, heading over to Ocarin and Piccolo followed behind him. The energy beam exploded, raining down multiple showers, bouncing all over the area where the Saiyans were, blowing up. Everyone watched in awe at the destruction, looking at Krillin in shock. Krillin smirked.
"You did it!" Ocarin shouted.
"Incredible!" Gohan cheered.
"Krillin, are you okay?" Tien asked. Krillin smiled, making a tired chuckle. Then Ocarin's eyes widened when she sensed something. From a crack in the mountains, she saw a Saibamen hiding inside. They were targeting Gohan!
"A Saibaman! One must have escaped during the blast!" The Saibamen lunged out heading towards Gohan. "Gohan, watch out!" Ocarin cried out. Gohan's eyes widen, seeing the Saibamen and screamed. He jumped back as the creature reached out to him, trying to grab him. A hand shot out, grabbing the Saibamen's wrist as Piccolo stopped it. He glared at the alien and tossed it into the air then Piccolo fired a beam from his mouth, blowing up the Saibamen.
"Just what you'd expect from Piccolo." Tien replied. "I shudder to think about him becoming my enemy again someday."
"Thank you, Mister Piccolo!" Gohan grinned up at him. Piccolo turned away from him.
"Don't get the wrong idea. You think I would save you?" He retorted.
"Piccolo!" Ocarin frowned.
"I was just warming up for the marvelous battle that is about to happen." Piccolo said. Suddenly, everyone's eyes widen when they heard evil laughing as the smoke cleared and Vegeta and Nappa walked out, without a scratch on them.
"Assuming that's the kind of fight it turns out to be." Vegeta spoke. "Let's put an end to these games."
"This time it's for real." Nappa smirked.
"Impossible! It had hardly any effect on them at all! They were hit dead-on!" Piccolo gritted his teeth.
"I-I did that at full power! So that's what a Saiyan is, isn't it?" Krillin sputtered, trembling.
"Let me take care of them. I'll put all seven of them away in a blink of an eye." Nappa told Vegeta.
"Do as you like. However, do not kill the Namekian. We'll need him to tell us about the Dragon balls afterward." Vegeta reminded him. Nappa smirked, maliciously and looked back to the others.
"Now then, entertain me the best that you can. First off...I'll start with you!" He charged at Krillin but Piccolo teleported, blocking the Saiyan from getting to him.
"Let me handle this!" Piccolo tried to throw a couple of punches and kicks at Nappa. Nappa smacked Piccolo away, sending Piccolo crashing into some boulders.
"Mister Piccolo!" Gohan cried out. Nappa chuckled. Piccolo sat up, holding his head. Gohan and Ocarin landed next to him.
"Looks like this is going to be fun!" Nappa began to charge up his energy and the ground began to quake underneath everyone's feet.
"The ground is shaking!" Krillin cried out. Chiaotzu tried to counter the Saiyan's attack, with his own powers, but was struggling. "My telekinetic powers aren't working!"
"Mister Piccolo!" Gohan cried out as he was knocked off of his feet, falling on the ground.
"Stand firm, Gohan!" Piccolo shouted.
"But-!"
"Control your Ki! Don't let yourself be beaten his level of Ki!" Piccolo told him. Gohan struggled to get back on his feet, using his Ki to keep him balanced. Piccolo frowned, glaring at the Saiyan.
"Still- I had no idea it would be this bad." He murmured. Nappa stopped charging up his power and everyone braced themselves, getting ready. "Here it comes!"
"Now then which one of you should I take care of first?" Tien charged at Nappa and fired a beam at him. Nappa dodged him and his fist started to crackle with energy. He lunged at Tien, throwing a punch at him.
"Teinshinhan!" Piccolo shouted. "Get out of there!" Tien tried to block it, Then a sicken a wet sound was heard followed by a crunch as Nappa chopped off Tien's hand. Everyone's eyes widen in horror. Tien let out a yell in pain, holding his amputated arm.
"Hmph! How fragile." Vegeta chuckled.
"Now to finish you off!" Vegeta growled, getting ready to attack again. "That's one tough bastard. He's still alive."
"What power he has!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"Damn it! Tien!" Krillin shouted, rushing over to him.
"Wait! He's had it! Leave him alone!" Piccolo tried to stop Krillin. Nappa saw Krillin running to Tien to help. He unleashed a large wave of energy.
"Don't interrupt!" Krillin jumped out of the way, so did Piccolo, Ocarin and Gohan, shielding their eyes from the blast. When they opened them they were shocked to see a large pit that seemed never-ending.
"I can't see the bottom of this hole! Unbelievable! What an incredible energy wave!" Krillin cried out. But Chiaotzu was nowhere to be seen.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien called out, trying to find him.
"I'll send you to him soon enough to the other world!" Nappa shouted, getting ready to attack Tien.
"Nappa! Behind you!" Vegeta shouted. Chiaotzu landed on Nappa's back, holding on while the Saiyan tried to shake him off.
"When did you get back there!? Let go! Why you, little runt!" He tried to reach for Chiaotzu. Chiaotzu still clinged onto him. Nappa started to smash into the mountains to get Chiaotzu off.
"Chiaotzu! Get away from him!" Tien cried out. Gohan couldn't watch and looked away.
"Look at him. Don't look away. This is what fighting is." Piccolo spoke. Gohan looked back, watching Chiaotzu.
"You're a persistent one!" Nappa growled. Suddenly, Chiaotzu began to glow, getting brighter and brighter. Tien's eyes widened, realizing what he was going to do.
"Stop! Chiaotzu!" Everyone's eyes widen, seeing Chiaotzu blow up, along with Nappa. However, as the smoke cleared, Nappa came out unharmed but a little scratched up from the explosion.
"Nappa, he sure gave a lot of trouble." Vegeta taunted him.
"I-It can't be! How can he still be alive!?" Krillin exclaimed.
"Chiaotzu has already been brought back to life with the Dragon Balls. He can't be brought back to life again! Damn it! You're going to pay for this!" Tien growled, narrowing his eyes angrily at Nappa.
"Looks like you don't realize how fearsome we are! The only thing you have coming to you is death!" Nappa shouted. Tien fired a beam, hitting Nappa with it. But, to no avail, the Saiyan was still standing. Tien collapsed on the ground to his knees as he had used the last remaining amount of his energy. Nappa turned over towards Krillin, Piccolo, Ocarin and Gohan. "Who is going to play with me next?"
"It had no effect at all!" Krillin cried out.
"Looks like his death was for nothing." Piccolo replied.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien cried.
"Be grateful! I'm going to send you to meet him again in the Other World soon enough!" Nappa shouted.
"You'll pay for this! You are definitely going to pay!" Tien roared, furiously.
"At this rate, Tien will be done in, too. I've got to do something!" Krillin shouted. He was about to rush in when Piccolo quickly moved in front of him.
"Stop! We've got a slight momentary opening on him when he moves to attack." He told Krillin then glanced over at Gohan and Ocarin "Got that, Gohan? Ocarin?" Gohan nodded, hesitantly.
"Let's try it." Ocarin spoke.
"That's a good strategy. I hope it goes well for you." The four heard Vegeta replied, looking over at him. He pointed out towards Nappa, smirking. "Are you sure you should be looking away? You'll miss your chance."
"You sure are confident. But you won't be able to stand there with that stupid look on your face when Goku arrives." Piccolo retorted.
"Who is that? Your ace-in-the-hole?" Vegeta questioned.
"You'll have to find out for yourself." Ocarin smirked. Tien fell as he tried to get up.
"Tien!" Krillin shouted.
"Looks like this is the end of the line for you I'll put you out of your misery right now" Nappa darted towards him.
"Now! Krillin, Ocarin, Gohan!" Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin headed towards Nappa, while Gohan stayed on the ground getting ready.
"Die!" Just as Nappa was about to strike down Tien, Krillin kicked Nappa hard in the face, knocking the Saiyan away. Piccolo kicked him up into the air and Ocarin kicked him downwards, sending Nappa flying to Gohan.
"Gohan! Now! Shoot him!" Piccolo called out. Ocarin looked down, seeing the fear in the boy's eyes. Piccolo noticed as well when Gohan still didn't fire. "Gohan!"
"Take aim!" Krillin shouted.
"I'm scared!" Gohan cried out. He trembled seeing Nappa, heading towards him. Gohan quickly scrambled, running away, and took cover behind a rock.
"You lousy brat!" Piccolo growled.
"No!" Krillin shouted. Ocarin gritted her teeth. "I'm almost out of energy." Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin all fired a ki blast at Nappa, but he dodged out of the way.
"We missed him! Our timing was off!" Krillin hissed.
"You really did a number on me. You've shortened your lives even further. I've decided to change the order in which I'm going to kill you. Get ready!" Nappa shouted.
On the Lookout, Kami was watching the battle unfold. Mr. Popo was standing beside him, worried.
"What's the matter, Kami?" He asked the guardian. Kami clenched his staff, tightly.
"It looks like my life will only last a little longer. Death...death is close at hand."
The genie's eyes widen in shock. "Which means...don't tell me!"
"Piccolo, is going to be killed." Kami replied, gravely. "So will everyone else."
"What about Goku?" Kami shook his head.
"I still cannot sense his presence." He said. "Goku, hurry!"
"You guys aren't too smart to be making me angry." Nappa growled at Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin.
"What do we do?" Ocarin asked.
"That brat!" Piccolo hissed, angrily. He narrowed his eyes down at Gohan, seeing him hiding behind the rock.
"Well now, which one will I amuse myself with first? I'll leave the Namekian there alive, but barely breathing. We have to find out more about the Dragon Balls from you." Nappa said.
"You're lucky, Piccolo. They think you're the only one who knows about the Dragon balls." Krillin said.
"They're planning to kill us all, in any case." Piccolo replied. "All right, we go on the offensive first! We're going to attack him first! Here goes!" He darted towards Nappa, but was knocked away, landing next to Gohan. Gohan ran over to him.
"Mister Piccolo!" Piccolo smacked Gohan away from him. Gohan sat up, looking up at him, holding his cheek.
"We don't need cowards like you. Go on home to bed, right now!" Piccolo growled. He flew up, meeting up with Krillin and Ocarin as they clashed against Nappa. Gohan saw Tien lying on the ground and ran over to him.
"Tien! Please get up!" He tried to shake him awake.
"Piccolo, now what? Is there anything that we can do? Ocarin?" Krillin asked.
"I'm starting to reach my limit." Ocarin replied.
"No." Piccolo gritted his teeth in frustration. "I didn't think he was going to be this big a monster. He goes far beyond the Saiyan that came earlier."
"It's too late for regrets to do any good now! Here I come!" Nappa charged at the three when Tien fired at beam at him. "Kikoho!" But, it did no damage. Tien fell to the ground, no longer moving.
"It didn't work!" Krillin cried out.
"Don't tell me he's immortal!" Piccolo shouted.
"Miserable fool! He could have just laid there but instead he used up his power and died for nothing." Nappa retorted.
"Not Tien, too!" Gohan cried out.
"This is awful. It's a nightmare. How can everyone be dying one after another? Goku! Where are you!?" Krillin shouted.
"They've been saying that for a while. Hang on..." Vegeta murmured before realizing who they were talking about.
"Another one has been taken care of! Your turn comes next!" Nappa turned to Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin.
"Let's go on the ground and fight. He's far more used to mid-air fighting than us." Piccolo said. The three landed on the ground.
"It'll end up the same no matter where it happens. Here goes!" Nappa chased after them. Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin's eyes widen as they braced themselves for his attack.
"H-He's coming!" Krillin sputtered.
"Daddy!" Gohan cried out.
"Wait, Nappa!" Nappa stopped in his tracks in mid air. He looked over to Vegeta.
"What is it? Why didn't you let me get them?"
"Don't be hasty. There's something I want to ask them. This Goku person you're talking about is Kakarot, isn't it?" Vegeta asked, Piccolo, Krillin, Ocarin and Gohan.
"That's right!" Ocarin shouted. Vegeta laughed.
"To think that you are relying on Kakarot. He couldn't even stand against Raditz. What good will it do you when he gets here?"
"He won't be the same as he was back then! He's going to be stronger!" Krillin shouted.
"Don't you look down on Goku." Piccolo spoke.
"Then where is he? He's not here! Are you sure he hasn't gotten scared and run away!?" Vegeta smirked.
"He'll be here! My dad will definitely be here! He's going to take care of you guys!" Gohan shouted.
"Interesting. We're going to wait until he gets here." Vegeta replied. Nappa frowned.
"That's lame. Let's put these guys away right now!" He argued.
"I'm giving you three hours." Vegeta told them.
"That's ridiculous! I'm going to finish them off right now!" Nappa lunged at the group to attack them.
"Nappa! Are you defying a direct order!?" Vegeta growled. Nappa's eyes widen and he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Sorry. I got carried away." He murmured then flew over and landed next to Vegeta. Vegeta smirked.
"You should be grateful. You get to live a little longer."
