Hearing this, Tarble deliberately asked in a cold voice, "Who exactly are you?"
Although he had roughly guessed who they were, he had to play the part to the end!
"Listen up, brat, and listen well!
We were once elite warriors under Frieza. Since Frieza is dead, the title of Emperor of the Universe should belong to us!"
"You Saiyan monkeys, enjoy the last few minutes of your lives on Earth!"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as the words fell, Tarble kindly reminded them, "Are you not afraid of the Super Saiyan?"
"Your Lord Frieza died at the hands of a Super Saiyan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice filled with disdain immediately came through the scouter.
"Hmph, Super Saiyan?"
"Trying to scare us?"
"So what if it's a Super Saiyan? Our current strength far exceeds Frieza's. If you have the guts, don't run!"
"We brothers would like to see if a Super Saiyan is really as powerful as they say!"
Zzzzt!
With a faint crackle of electricity, the sound in the scouter cut off.
Clearly.
They were very confident in their own strength.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Tarble's mouth.
As the saying goes: you cannot save a soul determined to die!
Since they were insistent on seeking death, there was nothing more to be said.
Then, Rix's panicked voice came into his ear.
"Your Highness Tarble, their strength is even higher than Frieza's. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Tarble said calmly, "What is there to panic about? This tribulation was already written in fate."
"Even if we cannot win, we must fight!"
"We Saiyans are a warrior race famous throughout the universe."
"Even if we are to die, we shall die on the path of the charge."
Hearing these stirring words, the fear in Rix's heart dissipated by more than half, and he replied firmly, "Yes, this subordinate understands."
Tarble comforted him:
"Don't worry, Son Goku, who can transform into a Super Saiyan, should be on Earth."
"Even Frieza was no match for Son Goku, let alone these small fries!"
Afterward.
The two had no further communication.
One minute later, the spherical spaceship they were riding in finally had an intimate, deep-impact encounter with Earth.
Boom!
The spaceship came to a forced, abrupt stop, and finally settled steadily. Tarble couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Because he sensed several auras nearby.
There was no need to guess; it was definitely Vegeta and the others.
Immediately, he pressed the button to open the hatch.
Creak—!
The hatch slowly opened, and the view suddenly brightened, causing him to instinctively squint his eyes.
After adjusting, he stepped out of the spaceship.
He raised his gaze along the slope of the dirt crater, and sure enough, he saw the famous Z Fighters.
Among them, the one with the flame-shaped, gravity-defying hair and arms crossed over his chest—who else could it be but Vegeta?
However, even though he recognized him, he didn't call out right away.
Instead, he pretended that his eyes hadn't yet adjusted to the bright environment, squinting and raising a hand to shield his forehead.
Just because he wasn't speaking didn't mean Krillin and the others wouldn't.
When they saw that the people emerging from the spaceship were truly Saiyans, they all wore expressions of "as expected."
They even let out a few exclamations of surprise or suspicion.
Yamcha said in astonishment, "Krillin, they really are Saiyans!"
Krillin nodded in agreement, "Yamcha, they are indeed Saiyans, but why does their aura feel a bit weak?"
Tien Shinhan, however, offered a different perspective: "Weak?"
"To us now, they are indeed a bit weak, but if you all sense them carefully, their strength is actually greater than when Vegeta and the others first came to Earth!"
Only Son Gohan and Piccolo remained silent, but they both subconsciously glanced toward Vegeta, who stood to the side.
They knew that only Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, could possibly know other Saiyans.
Hearing Tien Shinhan's words, Vegeta frowned in displeasure but did not refute him.
After all, he really had intended to invade Earth back then!
Furthermore, he could also sense that the energy radiating from Tarble was far stronger than his own had been at that time.
Once he confirmed that the visitor was truly Tarble, he immediately shouted, "Tarble, what are you doing on Earth?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At the very least, the person before them was someone Vegeta knew, which avoided an unnecessary battle.
Even though everyone present could easily crush the newcomers with their strength.
However, they were not bloodthirsty people.
Naturally, they had no desire to engage in unnecessary combat.
However.
When they looked at the figures slowly flying up from the crater and heard what was said, they were all filled with astonishment.
The shorter of the two Saiyans flying up from the crater shouted excitedly, "Big Brother Vegeta, you really are here on Earth!"
"This is absolutely wonderful!"
Big Brother?
This small Saiyan actually called Vegeta "Big Brother"!
Could it be that he is Vegeta's younger brother?
This was the first reaction of Son Gohan and the others.
At the same time, they subconsciously began to examine the features of both Vegeta and Tarble.
They hadn't noticed at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they were even more surprised.
Truth be told, aside from a slighter build and a more refined temperament, the two of them really did share a resemblance in their facial features!
As for the other, taller Saiyan, it was clear at a glance that they were not brothers.
He was likely a subordinate.
Because, even though he flew over with him, he never once moved ahead of Tarble's position.
While they were observing, Tarble and Rix flew right up to them.
Rix looked at Vegeta, who bore the exact same face as King Vegeta, and immediately knelt, calling out respectfully, "Subordinate Rix, pays respects to Prince Vegeta."
Hearing this long-forgotten title, Vegeta furrowed his brows: "Hmph, there are only a few of us Saiyans left now; there is no need for that old routine."
"Yes!" Rix acknowledged before standing up.
Vegeta's personality had changed significantly, and when speaking to the brother he hadn't seen in decades, his tone couldn't help but lose some of its chill: "Tarble, why on earth did you come to Earth?"
As he spoke, he glanced up at the sky before looking back down: "Don't tell me you came to Earth just to run for your lives?"
"Can a Saiyan who only knows how to run still be called a Saiyan?"
"Where is your pride as members of the warrior race, the Saiyans?"
By the end, his voice had turned cold once again.
Because he truly looked down upon any Saiyan who lacked backbone.
Hearing this, Tarble couldn't help but mutter to himself:
I've already become a live-in son-in-law, so much for Saiyan pride!
Yet, he asked with a puzzled expression: "Running for our lives?"
"Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"Rix and I heard that you might be on Earth, so we obtained the coordinates and came here."
"We didn't come here to run away!"
"Didn't you just say that there are only a few of us Saiyans left in the world?"
"I thought it would be better for us to gather together."
Hearing this, Vegeta and the rest of the Z Fighters couldn't help but frown.
However, they relaxed the next second.
They all remembered that when Vegeta first invaded Earth, he hadn't known how to sense or suppress his energy either.
At this moment, Rix suddenly spoke up to remind them: "Prince Tarble, have you forgotten? Just now, while we were above Earth, our scouters detected that we had Frieza's pursuing forces behind us."
Hearing this, Tarble feigned a sudden realization and chimed in: "Right, right, right, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
As he spoke, he looked toward Vegeta with an anxious expression, "Big Brother Vegeta, I don't know when it happened, but Frieza's soldiers have caught up to us from behind!"
"Furthermore, they claim that their strength far exceeds that of Frieza."
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
"Right, is Son Goku, who can transform into a Super Saiyan, around?"
"I want to ask him for help to wipe out the pursuers behind us!"
