Brothers Reunited, The Z Fighters' Shock

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, kid, 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, "Aren't you afraid of the Super Saiyan?"

"Your King 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 away!"

"My brother and I would love to see if the 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 on the corner of Tarble's mouth.

As the saying goes: it is hard to save a soul determined to die!

Since they were insistent on seeking death, there was nothing left to say.

Then, Licks'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 indifferently, "What is there to panic about? This trial was already destined by fate."

"Even if we can't 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 Licks's heart dissipated for the most part, and he replied firmly, "Yes, I understand."

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, sudden stop and finally settled steadily. Tarble couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Because he could sense several energy signatures 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 ship.

He raised his gaze up the slope of the 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 immediately.

Instead, he pretended that his eyes hadn't yet adjusted to the bright environment, squinting and raising a hand to shield his forehead.

He didn't speak, but that didn't mean Krillin and the others wouldn't.

When they saw that the people emerging from the ship were truly Saiyans, they all wore expressions of "as expected."

They even let out a few exclamations of surprise or suspicion.

Yamcha said in surprise, "Krillin, they really are Saiyans!"

Krillin nodded in agreement, "Yamcha, you're right, they are Saiyans, but why does their energy feel a bit weak?"

Tien Shinhan, however, offered a different perspective: "Weak?"

"They are indeed a bit weak compared to us now, 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, though both instinctively cast their gazes toward Vegeta, who stood to the side.

They knew that only Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince, could possibly recognize 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 had also sensed that the energy radiating from Tarble was far stronger than his own had been at that time.

Once he confirmed that the newcomer was truly Tarble, he immediately called out: "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.

Although every one of them could easily crush the newcomers in terms of strength, 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 struck with immense surprise.

Of the two Saiyans rising from the crater, the shorter one shouted excitedly: "Big Brother Vegeta, you really are here on Earth!"

"This is just wonderful!"

Big Brother?

This small Saiyan actually called Vegeta "Big Brother"!

Could it be that he was Vegeta's younger brother?

This was the first thought that crossed the minds of Son Gohan and the others.

At the same time, they instinctively began to compare the features of Vegeta and Tarble.

They hadn't noticed before, but upon closer inspection, they were even more surprised.

Truth be told, aside from his smaller stature and a more refined, scholarly air, 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.

Even though he followed along as they flew over, he never once moved ahead of Tarble.

While they were observing them, Tarble and Licks flew right up to them.

Licks looked at Vegeta, who possessed the exact same face as King Vegeta, and immediately knelt, calling out respectfully: "Subordinate Licks, greetings, Your Highness 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!" Licks replied before standing up.

Vegeta's personality had changed significantly, and his voice softened, losing some of its usual chill as he spoke to the brother he hadn't seen in decades: "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 life?"

"Is a Saiyan who only knows how to run still a Saiyan?"

"Where is your pride as a member of the warrior race?"

By the end, his voice had turned cold once again.

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, and he's still talking about Saiyan pride!

Aloud, however, he asked in confusion: "Running for my life?"

"Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Licks and I heard you might be on Earth, so we found the coordinates and came here."

"We didn't come here to run away!"

"Didn't you just say that we are the only 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 very 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, Licks suddenly spoke up to remind him: "Your Highness Tarble, have you forgotten? Just now, while we were above Earth, our detectors picked up Frieza's pursuing forces behind us."

Upon hearing this, Tarble feigned a sudden realization and chimed in: "Right, right, right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten."

As he spoke, he looked toward Vegeta with an anxious expression. "Brother Vegeta, I don't know when it happened, but Frieza's soldiers have caught up to us from behind!"

"Furthermore, they claim their strength far exceeds that of Frieza."

"Brother, what should we do?"

"Oh, right, is Son Goku, who can transform into a Super Saiyan, around?"

"I want to ask for his help to take out the pursuers behind us!"
