The five galactic thugs continued their discussion.
They fantasized about how they would slaughter the people of Earth once they arrived, collect the Dragon Balls, make their wish, and then blow up the planet before swaggering off.
Soon, a blue planet appeared on the ship's screen.
Earth. They had finally arrived.
"Lord Bojack, Earth is right ahead. Shall we land?" Zangya asked.
"Land!" Bojack ordered.
"Yes, Lord Bojack." Zangya piloted the ship and began its descent toward Earth.
Earth, Kami's Lookout!
Son Gohan and Trunks stood at the edge of the lookout's courtyard.
Both stared coldly at outer space.
Suddenly, a spaceship appeared at the edge of the atmosphere.
It was far away, but Son Gohan and Trunks could still make it out.
Five immense waves of energy poured down from the ship.
Son Gohan narrowed his eyes. "Trunks, they're here. Get ready to give them a warm welcome."
"Yes, Gohan!"
Boom!
Fwoosh, fwoosh!
In an instant, the two transformed into Super Saiyans.
Their immense auras surged skyward, golden flames swirling around them as their powerful energy swept across most of the sky.
The air around them began to boil.
Kami's Lookout shuddered.
With golden hair and blue eyes, Son Gohan looked especially cold and ruthless. The wind whipped his clothes, and his furry tail danced in the gale.
He cupped his hands at his waist and began gathering energy for a blast.
"Ka—"
At the first syllable, a torrent of watery blue energy surged forth. Its dazzling light shone like a sun at his waist, brilliant and radiant.
"Me—" The energy grew stronger and stronger, buzzing as it built.
Seeing Son Gohan use the Kamehameha, Trunks raised both hands above his head and gathered energy for a Masenko.
Trunks was more practiced with the Masenko than the Kamehameha.
Son Gohan had taught it to him, and he'd learned it in a single try.
"Ha—me—ha—me—HA!"
"MA—SEN—KO—HA!"
The two thrust out their hands, unleashing a pair of world-shattering blasts that soared toward the spaceship as it broke through the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, aboard the ship,
the five of them were watching the enormous screen.
Suddenly, they saw two points of light on the screen growing larger and larger.
As the lights grew more intense, Bojack asked in confusion, "What are those?"
It had never crossed his mind that anyone would dare attack their ship.
"This is—" Bujin, the wizard with the strongest psychic powers among the five, suddenly shrank his pupils.
Then he shouted in shock, "Oh no! Someone's attacking our ship!"
"What?"
The others found it unbelievable, then flew into a rage.
What was the meaning of this?
They hadn't even reached Earth yet.
Were those bastards on Earth trying to give them a show of force?
The nerve.
The sheer nerve.
Without waiting for Bojack's orders, Zangya dashed to the ship's controls, trying to steer clear of the two blasts.
"Bujin, quick! Stop them and protect the ship!"
The ship lurched from side to side, tossing the five of them around.
Bujin unleashed his telekinesis, trying to alter the blasts' trajectories.
But to his horror, his psychic powers had no effect at all.
The two blasts were far more powerful than he'd expected.
"Lord Bojack, this is bad! Their power surpasses mine!" Bujin said in shock.
"Damn it! Didn't the scouts say Earth was a low-level planet? How could it have fighters this strong? What a bunch of useless fools!" Bojack roared.
By now, Bojack finally understood that his vanguard hadn't stolen the Dragon Balls. They'd been killed by the people of Earth.
Unforgivable.
But there was no time to think.
All five of them raised energy shields at once.
Boom!
Boom!
The ship dodged frantically, but the two blasts still struck its sides.
The blasts seemed to be able to turn corners.
Kaboom!
The spaceship exploded, bursting into a beautiful firework.
"Damn it, those Earthlings are fucking dead!"
Cursing, the five blasted out of the explosion and plunged toward Earth.
At least they were all right.
The Hera Clan could survive in outer space for a short time. Otherwise, they'd have been finished right there.
But they'd clearly underestimated how determined Son Gohan and Trunks were to kill them.
The explosion hadn't even ended when a storm of energy spheres shot into the sky.
Those despicable Earthlings kept firing at them without letup.
Unforgivable.
Absolutely unforgivable.
How long had Bojack and his crew ruled the galaxy? When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
The five dodged constantly behind their energy shields and kept moving toward Earth, but their speed had slowed considerably.
One of them had also been injured, blood gushing from his mouth.
Bojack was so enraged that he'd bitten his gums until they bled.
On Kami's Lookout, Son Gohan and Trunks unleashed their auras toward the heavens, firing energy spheres one after another and taking the Prince Tactics to the extreme.
"Boom! Keep blasting them!" Son Gohan laughed.
"Yeah!" Trunks showed no mercy, firing with all his might.
He'd never felt so exhilarated.
That day, the ozone layer was blasted open. The thunderous explosions made everyone on Earth tremble in fear.
Flames filled the sky, bathing Earth in a deep red, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
In East City, Videl gazed up at the sky.
She guessed this had to be the result of Son Gohan fighting the aliens.
She was too shocked for words.
Son Gohan and Trunks kept firing, but the stamina and energy consumed by such widespread, relentless attacks were enormous.
Fortunately, Dende was behind them like a human battery, periodically tossing them a Restoration Spell or Healing Spell. In an instant, the two were back in fighting shape.
It was absurd.
Bujin and Bido were both dead.
They had died in the dense barrage of explosions.
Gokua was badly injured too. His greatsword had broken into several pieces, and he was covered in blood.
Zangya was pale. One of her breasts had been blasted into a bloody mess, and she no longer looked as beautiful as before.
Of the five, only Bojack was more or less unscathed. But blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, so he'd clearly been injured as well.
Seeing Bujin and Bido die, the others stared with bloodshot eyes, but there was nothing they could do.
They could only curse the two Earthlings attacking them for being so despicable.
They hadn't even met face-to-face, and already they'd lost two of their top fighters. Bojack was living through the darkest moment of his life.
He had never even imagined something like this before.
Even when the four King Kais joined forces, they had only sealed them away. They hadn't actually killed them.
This was simply too outrageous.
As time passed, Bojack grew more and more agitated.
Yet the explosions kept coming. Their opponent seemed to have endless energy and was determined to kill them.
They were going to blast them to death in the sky.
Bojack's rage finally erupted.
"AAAAAAAH!"
A long, drawn-out roar rang out.
Bojack's shirt burst apart, and his headscarf turned to dust in an instant.
His already enormous body swelled another size, and his long orange hair turned a brilliant crimson.
His energy surged, growing countless times stronger than before.
"AAAAAH!"
He roared again, and a huge energy shield formed around his body, blocking most of the blasts.
Then he raised both hands to the sky. A dark red energy sphere appeared, rapidly swelling until it spread like a canopy. Its presence was terrifying.
"Earthlings, die!"
He bellowed and thrust both hands downward.
The unbelievably massive energy sphere roared toward Earth.
It swallowed every energy blast Son Gohan and Trunks fired, clearing a path for the three of them.
Zangya and Gokua wiped the blood from their mouths, their eyes lighting up. They seized the chance to speed up, breaking through the atmosphere and entering Earth's territory.
Bojack followed behind the energy sphere, driving it toward Son Gohan and Trunks.
As the sphere drew closer and closer to Kami's Lookout, a bloodthirsty smile spread across Bojack's face.
"I'll make Earth die with you two bastards! Hahaha!"
"Hmph, keep dreaming." Son Gohan snorted. He clenched his fists, and his aura changed dramatically in an instant.
He unleashed his full power!
In a flash, the winds and clouds high above shifted, and bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky.
Trunks beside him and Dende some distance away stared at Son Gohan in shock.
Son Gohan's aura was nothing like it had been moments earlier. Now it was terrifyingly ferocious.
"Trunks, go kill those two pests."
"Yes, Gohan!" Without hesitation, Trunks shot into the sky and chased after Zangya and Gokua.
Son Gohan stared at the approaching dark red energy blast. He cupped his hands at his waist and fired another powerful Kamehameha.
The watery blue Kamehameha surged skyward like a giant dragon and collided with Bojack's dark red energy blast.
Kaboom!
For a moment, only two dazzling colors remained between heaven and earth.
