An explosion was heard.

Finding herself facing a cliff, Paprika punched countless rocks and pulverized them in order to make the rage she felt inside her disappear.

Today, she should have felt overpowered. In today's tournament, she was confident that she would win it and prove that she was the best warrior on this planet. And once that was proven, she would then challenge Daira. To become the strongest being in the universe, she now had to focus on defeating the most powerful person she knew.

And yet, nothing had gone as she had hoped. The tournament had been canceled, preventing her from winning it. And most importantly, she had been humiliated by someone who seemed even more powerful than Daira.

Clenching her fist, Paprika growled.

"I am destined to defeat Frieza...so why am I so weak?"

"Tsssss! You have no reason to complain."

Sitting on a rock, Yada retorted.

"When you transform into Oozaru, you are the only one among us who can defeat mom."

Then remembering their childhood, Daira's daughter said.

"When we were kids, you constantly wanted to fight me in order to at least win a fight! Before, I thought that was impossible! And yet, even I have to admit that you have become much more powerful than me."

Staring at Paprika in frustration, she muttered.

"Since when has the word abandon been part of your vocabulary?"

"Shut up! It took me years to get the power I have today! I thought I was finally invincible! I thought I was finally able to defeat Frieza! And most importantly, I..."

Thinking of Kamiko and Daira, the saiyan lowered her gaze, before affirming.

"I wanted... I wanted to prove that they didn't raise a monster for nothing."

"Tssss! Stop trying to pass yourself off as human! That's not like you! Since when do you consider yourself a monster?"

"Isn't that the truth?" Paprika asked. "Since the first day I learned to speak, I've never stopped speaking with arrogance and pride! I wanted to prove that I was a true Saiyan and I used my arrogance to pretend not to listen to other conversations! But I know that other women still hate me."

"I hope you're joking! Sure, there are women like Iidii who will continue to direct their rage at you for stupid reasons! However, many people here now look at you with respect and admiration! It seems obvious to me that Saka idolizes you and does everything possible to receive a compliment from you! The people of the new generation have seen you train hard in order to surpass me! You have become an example for everyone! Besides, if everyone hated you, my mother would have banished you long ago."

"Whatever, I'm still a Saiyan." Paprika retorted, looking at her hands.

Remembering her fight against Saka, she declared.

"While I was dominating her during our fight, I wanted to crush Saka's arm! I wanted to hurt her! This feeling of sadism I feel, it's getting stronger and stronger! If this continues, I'll end up killing someone in a fight! Or at least, I'll end up becoming like those three guys."

Thinking back to Vegeta and the others, she growled.

"They're Saiyans too...but I hate them."

"In that case, that's good news." Yada said. "Even though you're a Saiyan, you're disgusted by the way these guys think! Which shows that you're not like them! But no matter, no one on this planet is stupid enough to want you dead! And you know why? It's because we've placed all our trust in you! We're willing to bet our lives on your victory against Frieza."

Then, cracking the muscles in her neck, Yada declared.

"But let's forget that! If I came here, it's not to discuss! Don't forget that we have a fight to finish."

Then getting into position, she assured.

"I can't wait to give you the beating you deserve."

Staring at her, with a bit of surprise in her gaze, Paprika couldn't help but smile slightly. Indeed, Yada was right.. It wasn't like her to think like that. What she wanted at all costs was to defeat Frieza. And it wasn't Vegeta's strength that was going to make her abandon her goal.

"I will become stronger," she affirmed. "I will defeat that stupid prince! And when I have surpassed him, I will have a real chance of killing Frieza."

The day after

Awakened by screams, Nappa couldn't help but growl in displeasure.

"Damn it!" he shouted, hiding his face under a pillow to cover his ears. "What are those shouts? What time is it?"

Sharing a room with Vegeta and Nappa, Raditz left his bed, before opening the room's window.

In the distance, he noticed that the sun had barely risen. And yet, dozens of women were present on several training grounds. Several were fighting, while others were performing several sets of identical movements.

"I want to see more motivations." A woman, in charge of training a group of children, said! If you want to become real warriors, you have to become stronger."

" AYE !"

Meanwhile, fighting with a bamboo sword, another woman was fighting an opponent, before throwing him off the field. And despite being tired, she turned to her future opponent.

"I'm ready for my next fight! Don't keep me waiting."

Seeming surprised, Raditz watched the women fight, as he wasn't used to seeing such a scene.

In Frieza's army, only the most powerful people could become warriors. As such, few of them thought training was necessary and saw little point in becoming even more powerful. On the contrary, the people on this planet seemed to train with great intensity, which explained why they were so powerful.

"Dawn has barely broken and they're already training?"

"Isn't that good news?"

While putting on his boots and armor, Vegeta prepared to leave the room.

"Unlike Frieza who has an army of weak and stupid minions, we were lucky enough to come across these women who seemed to use their brawn and brains! If they manage to become even more powerful, our chances of defeating Frieza might finally increase."

"But Vegeta..." Nappa began. "Even if those women are strong, they will be unable to do the slightest harm to Frieza, even if they fight him together."

"I have no illusions," the former prince assured. "In any case, I have no desire to let these women kill Frieza! That privilege is mine! I am just counting on them to attack the rest of this tyrant's army and prevent his minions from tiring me out by forcing me to convince them."

"So these are just pawns you're willing to sacrifice." Raditz remarked.

Showing an evil smile, Vegeta retorted.

"Don't talk like I'm a monster! After all, even if these women die, won't I make their greatest dream come true? They should feel indebted to me for using Alles as a sacrifice in order to kill Frieza."

Seeing the three Saiyans walking towards them, the fighters stopped their training and turned towards them. Immediately, Vegeta began to smile arrogantly, as he saw the disgusted looks on the faces of the women in front of him.

"Oh? Do you know that I would almost feel embarrassed to be looked at so intensely by so many women?"

"Grrrr!" Several people growled.

"Why are these guys still here?"

"It's an order from Daira-sama! She wants us to consider them as potential allies."

"Is this a joke? She trusts those Saiyans? I can understand about Paprika... but there's no way those three are staying on our planet."

At that moment, the fighters heard someone clapping their hands, to order silence.

"Ladies, please! I don't want any arguments between you and my guests."

Making his appearance, Daira was accompanied by Tomoe and Hasizy.

"In order to strengthen our power, I was the one who allowed these three people to stay here! After all, they became enemies of Frieza! So we have the same common enemy."

"But Daira-sama...they're Saiyans."

"Yes! Everyone knows that they are merciless warriors who only think about killing."

"Even if we manage to kill Frieza with them, I'm sure they'll attack us afterwards to get rid of anyone who can stop them from controlling the universe."

"We can't trust them."

Again, Daira clapped her hands for silence.

"Have no fear! For now, I assure you that you have nothing to fear! If these Saiyans dare to rebel, I assure you that we are able to kill them."

Immediately, Vegeta lost his smile.

"What did you say?"

"Vegeta-san... is this really the time to start a stupid argument?" Daira asked. "Instead, I propose that we start a training that should allow each of us to become stronger! What do you think?"

Not liking the fact that she decided to act as his leader, Vegeta began to growl. However, he didn't have time to waste this unnecessarily. If this woman became too arrogant towards him, he knew he could kill her anyway.

"Tssss! Do as you wish."

"Perfect! In that case, I would like to propose some fights for you so that we can see your power! Each of you will fight one of the warriors! I hope we can offer you some good opponents."

Finally, finding himself on a field, Raditz felt like sighing. Having been designated to participate in the first fight, the man saw Saka in front of him. Seemingly terrified at the idea of fighting him, the cat-woman was chattering her teeth, while she seemed about to fall on her butt at any moment.

"I... I really have to fight a Saiyan?"

Letting out another sigh, Raditz used his scouter and was able to see his opponent's power.

"320? I know Vegeta said I was the weakest, but there's still a limit! I feel like I'm being pitied."

Behind him, standing outside the field, Nappa couldn't help but laugh.

"Is this a joke? Is she really the best warrior these women can offer for this fight? Even Raditz is going to pulverize her."

Having his arms crossed, Vegeta said nothing. Seeming thoughtful, he turned his attention to the many women watching the fight, while most of them had a power three times higher than Saka's. In that case, why did she point her out?

"Are you ready?" Asked Hasizy, who was the referee of their fight.

Simply getting into position, Raditz tried to come up with a strategy to win his fight, while sparing Saka's life.

"If I kill her, the other women might declare war on us! I'll try to knock her out by attacking her not too hard."

" LET'S GO ! "

At that moment, wanting to end this stupid fight quickly, Raditz rushed towards Saka and hit her with his fist. Continuing to tremble, Saka began to scream in terror. However, at the moment of being hit, she disappeared from Raditz's vision.

" What ? "

Then, widening his eyes, the man began to cough up blood, while Saka's knee dug into his stomach.

" ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH ! "

"WHAT?" Nappa wondered.

Having stopped showing fear on her face, Saka now displayed a confident face, as she just attacked Raditz with a power surpassing his own.

"I advise you not to underestimate me! Usually, I act like a cute kitten terrified of the slightest danger! But I can also transform into a tigress ready to fight to the death! After all, I am one of the people who have fought Paprika the most times."

Seeing his scout activate, Vegeta saw Saka's power increase rapidly.

" 3200 ? "

"How?" Nappa wondered. "She's also able to control her ki."

Being not far from them, Daira began to smile.

"Paprika and Yada are my best warriors! They both know how to sense ki! However, they still have a hard time controlling it enough to hide their true power! But, unlike them, Saka is capable of it! Which makes her a formidable opponent for anyone who has never fought her."

Collapsing to the ground, Raditz placed his hands on his aching abdomen, as his armor was damaged where Saka had hit him. Crying out in pain, he felt saliva dripping out of his mouth, as he struggled to breathe.

" Damn it ! How... How is this possible? "

Then, straightening up, he saw Saka jumping for joy.

"I'm so happy! This is the first time I've managed to defeat a Saiyan."

" YOU LITTLE ... " Raditz roared, creating a ki blast.

However, seeming to anticipate his gesture, Saka regained her seriousness and ran towards the attack. Taking a step to the side to avoid it, she then found herself in front of the saiyan, who could only be shocked by her speed.

" Impossible ... "

The next moment, Saya's foot hit his chin and it was in a real glide that Raditz left the field before crashing at the feet of Vegeta and Nappa.

"Ra... Raditz?" The bald man wondered, seeing him unconscious.

"Tssss! This idiot is definitely a good-for-nothing." Vegeta growled.

"You have no mercy, even for your companions." Daira remarked, without looking at him. "It makes you wonder who the real good-for-nothing is."

"What did you say?" Vegeta growled.

Pretending to ignore him, Daira affirmed.

"Let's start the second match! This time, I chose a person who wanted to fight a Saiyan at all costs."

Cracking his knuckles, Nappa offered himself up for the second fight.

"I don't know who my opponent will be, but I'm going to make her regret being my opponent."

For her part, Saka left the field before running towards Paprika, who had also witnessed her fight.

" Paprika-san ... are you see my fight ? "

"Yes...so what?"

Tilting her head in her direction, Saka seemed to be waiting for something.

"I deserve a reward."

Hearing this, Paprika couldn't help but think back to her conversation with Yada. Letting out a sigh of annoyance, the Saiyan questioned her.

"Do you take me for your mother?"

However, her hand rested on Saka's head, as she stroked the back of her cat ears.

" Good job. "

Starting to purr, Saka seemed to enjoy this caress.

Meanwhile, Nappa entered the field. But he was surprised to see a woman, whose face was completely hidden by her hair. Being able to see only one of her eyes, Nappa seemed disconcerted by the appearance of his opponent.

"She's scary."

"Saiyan…" Iidii said, his voice containing joy and hatred.

Getting on all fours, she put so much pressure on her hands and feet that she saw the floor crack.

"I'll take pleasure in pulverizing you."

In response, Nappa activated his scouter and was able to see the power of his opponent.

"3500...she has the same power as me."

However, appearing thoughtful, Nappa wondered if Iidii also knew how to hide part of his attack.

" LET'S GO ! "

Normally, Nappa would have rushed towards his opponent. However, trying to use his brain, the man stood still in order to know his opponent's way of fighting.

Seeing him do this, Iidii began to snicker sinisterly.

"What's going on? Is my appearance so repulsive that you refuse to come near me?"

Seeing her remain motionless just like him, Nappa finally swallowed. Then, suddenly, he raised two fingers.

"I don't need to get close to you to pulverize you."

Immediately, an explosion took place where Iidii was. Seeing part of the ground being pulverized, several spectators preferred to move back.

For his part, flying into the sky, Nappa stared at the cloud of smoke he had just created and created a ki blast.

"Just in case... here's something to finish you off."

However, seeing her scouter activate, Nappa turned her face to a corner of the field. Staring at him, while she didn't have the slightest scratch, Iidii stared at the saiyan with an amused look.

"How?" Nappa wondered.

"Easy... I just had to move really fast to avoid your attack."

"Grrrrrr! In that case, dodge it." Nappa shouted, launching his attack.

Standing still, Iidii only moved a few strands of her hair. Showing her mouth containing countless shark teeth, Iidii opened her jaws a crack. Then, letting the kii blast enter her mouth, the woman closed her mouth and let her teeth bite into the attack, causing her to explode.

Yet, appearing to feel no pain, Iidii remained standing, with just a few burns visible around his mouth.

" What ? "

"HIHIHIHI!" Iidii sneered, her laughter sounding like that of a witch. "I'm going to enjoy humiliating you."

Clenching his fist, as veins of rage appeared on his face, Nappa eventually flew towards Iidii.

"I forbid you to underestimate me." He shouted, swinging his fist at her.

Immediately, Iidii jumped back to avoid her. Hitting the ground with his fist, Nappa further pulverized the ground. However, he quickly followed Iidii and began to punch her repeatedly.

Positioning her enormous hands in front of her, the young woman tried to block his punches. However, the Saiyan's brute strength forced her to step back with each impact. Attacking again and again, Nappa managed to push her back enough until she found herself at the edge of the field.

"It's over for you." Nappa shouted, hitting her with all his might.

However, before he could hit her, the bald man was surprised, as his body stopped moving.

" What ? "

Smiling sinisterly again, Iidii raised one of her bear paws and used it to slash at Nappa's abdomen.

"ARRGH!" The bald man shouted, feeling the blood spray onto the ground.

Still unable to move, he continued to be attacked, while Iidii took pleasure in hitting him.

"What's going on? Didn't you mean to humiliate me? I'm sorry to tell you this, but you can never overcome the power that my hatred for your race gives me."

"My race?" Nappa wondered. "Have you ever met Saiyans?"

"Of course! You were the one who pulverized my people! Because of you, Elzouma, my home planet, was wiped out."

"Elzouma?" Nappa repeated. "Oh... I thought I'd seen people like you before! So this is the planet I killed guys like you on."

" What ? " Said Iidii.

Showing a wicked smile, Nappa stated.

"The annihilation of the people of the planet Elzouma, it was one of the first missions that Frieza entrusted to me! I must admit that your compatriots were good opponents! However, the fact that your planet is constantly lit by a full moon was fatal to you! It took us little time to transform into Oozarus and kill everyone! However, it seems that the job was poorly done, since you are still alive."

Hearing this, Iidii stood still, as blood vessels appeared in her visible eye. Honestly, she hated all Saiyans. However, she never thought she would meet one of the monsters that killed the citizens of her planet. Suddenly, she held out her hand to Nappa, before clenching her fist.

"I will kill you."

Immediately, Nappa began to scream, as he felt an invisible force begin to squeeze his body.

"AHHHHHHH!"

" I WILL KILL YOU ! " Roar Iidii.
