Yama Palace
A colossal figure sat above a green figure standing below. That was Earth's Kami.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? The Saiyans are already on Earth," Kami said anxiously.
Earth
Vegeta sat on a rock, with Nappa standing beside him as they waited for the Earthlings to arrive.
"Whoosh..."
In an open area up ahead, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu slowly descended!
Krillin spotted Piccolo and Gohan not far away. He walked over and asked, "Hey, Piccolo, you got here early."
"Shut up! Who said you could talk to me like that? I am King Piccolo. Sun Wukong's life is mine. After I kill the Saiyans, I'll kill all of you," Piccolo snarled! His pride wouldn't let him be friends with the Earthlings, even though he already thought of Gohan as his own son.
"Uncle Piccolo?" Gohan asked uncertainly.
"Wow, Gohan, you've grown so much! I almost didn't recognize you. You're strong, too," Krillin said! He patted Gohan on the shoulder and looked at his friend's son, thinking wistfully, His son is already so strong, and I still don't even know who my fiancée will be!
"Well, I don't mind you catching up in the afterlife, but can any of you tell me where Kakarot is?" Vegeta looked at them, his malicious voice ringing in their ears.
Krillin stared at the small figure before him and said fearfully, "Goku will be back in two hours. Do you dare wait for him? Until he gets back, don't destroy the Earth!"
"I have no interest in destroying the Earth, but I don't mind sending you to the afterlife. Who said you could speak to me like that?" Vegeta snarled.
"My dad will beat you," Gohan said, trembling.
"Oh, so you're Kakarot's half-breed son. How about joining me in conquering the universe?" Vegeta asked with a hint of interest.
"I'd never go with you to kill people. You're all bad guys," Gohan said.
Looking at those familiar faces, Vegeta couldn't stop trembling with excitement. These were all characters he'd known so well in his previous life, and now he was seeing them with his own eyes!
"Nappa, go play with them. But go easy on them; don't kill them," Vegeta said, looking at Nappa.
Nappa's mouth curled slightly as he looked at the weak humans. "Vegeta, why not let the Saibamen play with them?"
"Do whatever you want. Just pass the time, but be careful: you're not allowed to kill that green one. If he dies, you'll die with him," Vegeta said.
"He looks like a Namekian," Nappa said.
"He is. I've heard the Namekians in the universe are very powerful. They also have incredible abilities," Vegeta said.
"No wonder he killed Raditz," Nappa said.
Piccolo clenched his fists...
"Piccolo, you're an alien, too? No wonder you look so different from everyone else," Krillin said in surprise.
"Uncle Piccolo, is what he said true?" Gohan asked.
Piccolo thought, conflicted, So I'm a Namekian...
"You made the Dragon Balls, too, didn't you?" Vegeta said.
"What? They even know about the Dragon Balls?" Krillin said in surprise.
"We came here for the Dragon Balls, so you'd better hand them over. Even if you're a Namekian, you're not much of a threat to us," Nappa said.
"Hmph. Thanks to you, I finally know who my ancestors were. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who made the Dragon Balls. I specialize in fighting, so bring it on. Let's settle this once and for all," Piccolo said with a cold laugh. He raised his fists into a fighting stance, bending his knees slightly as if ready to charge.
"Maybe once you see the Saibamen, you'll be more willing to tell me where the Dragon Balls are," Vegeta said.
Nappa took out a round container holding several seeds that looked like plants. He opened it, poured them out, and scattered them on the ground. Then he took out a bottle of green liquid and poured it over the seeds. Six disgusting green monsters slowly sprouted from the ground!
Krillin's mouth twitched. "They look really strong!"
"Let's get started! It makes no difference how many there are," Piccolo said disdainfully.
The six Saibamen began circling the three of them at incredible speed. Three figures flashed past—don't forget us! Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu charged into the fight.
"Heh, this is interesting. There are six of them, the same number as the Saibamen. How about a game? One-on-one," Vegeta said with a hint of interest.
"A game? You've got to be kidding. Let's get this over with," Piccolo said.
"Relax, relax. This works in our favor—we can stall until Goku gets back," Krillin said, walking over to Piccolo.
"Fine. I'll go first," Tien Shinhan said, cupping his fists.
A Saibaman charged at Tien Shinhan at incredible speed. Tien Shinhan gathered energy with one hand and thrust his right arm forward, shouting, "Hah!" A blast of wind sent the Saibaman tumbling. It adjusted itself in midair, then spat a stream of liquid like sulfuric acid at Tien Shinhan! Tien Shinhan dodged and charged into the air. Seizing the moment when the Saibaman was attacking, he drove an elbow into its chest. The Saibaman crashed to the ground, its body convulsing! So fast—it was over in just seconds.
"Impossible! The Saibamen have a power level of over 1,200, making them comparable to second-rate Saiyans. How could one lose to an Earthling?" Nappa said in shock...
"There's only one possibility: he's surpassed the Saibaman," Vegeta said.
"T-Tien... It's standing up again!" Chiaotzu pointed at the Saibaman that had just fallen, frightened.
Vegeta raised his left hand, holding his fingers together like a blade. A wave of energy shot out, and the Saibaman instantly became a pile of scraps!
"I don't need this kind of trash. Tell the other five that if they don't fight with everything they've got, they'll end up just like him," Vegeta said to the remaining Saibamen!
"What an evil Saiyan. He even kills his own kind," Krillin said fearfully!
Piccolo thought in astonishment, What devastating power! He destroyed that thing with just a flick of his finger...
Snake Way
"Strange. I keep having this terrible feeling. Piccolo, hold on! You have to survive until I get back," Goku murmured as he flew at full speed, flashing past like a shooting star!
