The city below.
The chain of changes unfolding throughout the city left everyone stunned.
They were all ordinary people. When had they ever seen anything like this before?
First, an unidentified flying object landed in the city. Then, two suspected aliens emerged from it. After that, someone who could fire energy blasts from his hands sent one of the aliens flying straight out of the city.
And now, a whole crowd of people had come flying through the air!
What was going on? Could humans fly to begin with?
Or were these all some legendary hidden grandmasters?
The countless civilians had yet to recover from the shock when discussions were already breaking out below. Many had even recorded the scene and reported what was happening to the king!
But some people had watched the martial arts tournament five years ago, so they recognized this as Flight.
They even felt that several of the people overhead looked like contestants from back then!
Especially that green-skinned man.
Thinking of how someone similar had once blown up Papaya Island, those people instinctively wanted to flee into the distance. Having experienced that terrifying explosion firsthand, they were more afraid than anyone else.
But before they could escape, the city was smashed apart by the alien who had returned.
Countless buildings collapsed before their eyes. The thunderous crashes shook heaven and earth, while the terrifying shockwaves seemed capable of destroying everything at any moment.
Only then...
did they realize this was a true crisis.
What was about to happen might not be any less severe than the disaster caused by King Piccolo back then!
And all of this seemed to have been caused by that green-skinned man.
As the city erupted into an uproar, reporters also took helicopters into the sky. Though they knew it was dangerous, they still wanted to obtain firsthand footage.
After all, anyone could see that the situation was far from ordinary.
Perhaps something that would change humanity's understanding was about to happen. Earth itself might become extraordinary from now on.
Inside the helicopter.
"Quick, get closer! It'd be best if we could film them clearly. This is incredible news!"
"There won't be any danger, right...?"
"What are you afraid of? If we can uncover these people's secrets, we'll make a fortune!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
"..."
They discussed moving closer to the gathering.
Just as they approached, several more people swiftly flew over. These newcomers were rather strange as well.
The one in orange looked relatively normal, but the other two were different.
The bald one had three eyes, while the smaller one had a deathly pale face, just like a zombie from a movie.
"Three more? Why are there so many strange people on Earth?"
"That guy's clothes look familiar. Why do I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?"
"Judging by the style, they should be uniforms from that martial arts school. Maybe they're famous competitors from some past tournament, like Mr. Satan or something."
"Focus and keep filming!"
As the humans below reacted in their own ways, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and the others joined the battlefield.
Thus, judging by numbers alone, Son Gohan's side seemed to hold the advantage.
Although Vegeta was already prepared to make a move, Son Gohan did not panic. Instead, he greeted Tien Shinhan and the others first.
They could tell from his appearance that he was Goku's son, so the atmosphere was relatively cheerful.
"Hmph, more people have come, huh?"
Seeing the newcomers, Vegeta's eyes gleamed with interest. "What, are you planning to gain the upper hand through numbers?"
"Hey, Nappa, let them see that thing!"
"Then it'll turn into a chaotic brawl!"
"That makes it more interesting. It'll be a good chance to show the lifeforms on this planet something worthwhile!"
Though Nappa was still furious, he did not dare disobey Vegeta. He immediately descended to the ground.
"Hmm!?"
Piccolo and the others clearly had no idea what he intended to do.
Then Son Gohan saw him poke six holes into the ground.
He already understood what they were about to do, so he instinctively looked toward Yamcha beside him.
After all, the thing growing out of the ground below would give Yamcha a warm embrace, and then create a world-famous painting.
Crack! Crack!
The ground where they had planted something rapidly split apart, and vegetable-like creatures with green skin emerged from it.
"Kehehehe!"
Villain-like laughter rang out from below.
All six Saibamen raised their heads toward the sky at once. Their strange laughter sent chills down the spines of Tien Shinhan and the others.
Fortunately, many of the humans on the ground had already fled. Otherwise, merely seeing this scene would probably have scared them senseless.
"So scary... What exactly are those things?"
"Is this how Saiyans do things? They already look extraordinary just standing there. Chiaotzu, don't stray too far from me when the fight starts."
"Tien..."
Tien Shinhan and the others quickly prepared themselves for battle.
Piccolo glanced at the Saibamen below and said, "You actually grew things like these. Saiyan taste really is something to behold."
"As a Namekian, your battle power is indeed quite impressive. But you dare speak to me like that? You've got some nerve!"
Vegeta turned toward Piccolo, and anger seemed to rise in his eyes.
"You'll soon find out whether it's nerve or not!"
Piccolo remained cold and expressionless. He leaned forward and charged at Vegeta, the powerful pressure instantly whipping up massive gusts.
A flash of anger also appeared in Vegeta's eyes.
A fierce aura erupted around him as well, and he slammed violently into Piccolo.
Boom!
As the two collided, an utterly terrifying blast of air erupted outward, forcibly shoving everything around them away.
Even Krillin and the others, who had trained, were unable to stop themselves from staggering backward.
Only Son Gohan remained standing firmly where he was.
He looked toward the battle again, but ultimately did not intervene directly.
"What terrifying energy... Just what kind of training has Piccolo gone through?"
To avoid the surging shockwaves, Krillin and the others had no choice but to descend into the city for the moment. Watching the currents of air scattering across the sky, they felt their very bodies trembling.
"Hmph, that Namekian is no match for Prince Vegeta!"
Nappa stood amid the six Saibamen, glaring fiercely at the remaining people. "As for this lot... I'll be the one to deal with them. I've been holding back my anger on this planet for far too long!"
"Saibamen, go cause some havoc! Smash this planet to pieces for me!"
As Nappa gave the Saibamen their orders, all six of them charged into the city at once.
Their only goal seemed to be destruction.
Nappa had suffered setback after setback before this, but because of Vegeta's orders, he could not attack that Namekian. He had long been bottling up his rage, and now he naturally intended to vent it on the remaining people.
And so, he chose that noseless bald guy as his target!
