"Damn...I can't lose now....Bete needs me....I can't lose her to him. Get up, you idiot!"

Lightning struck as the booming thunder crashed, above the arena as a teenager with spiked, black hair and standard saiyajin armor rolled on the ground evasively from the blade of a falling sword. He rolled onto his feet with cracks in the armor and a fresh cut the went across his face in a slant from the left side of his forehead to the right side of his chin. The view in his left eye was red from the blood running down from the cut. He breathed heavily as he looked at his opponent. The half breed S.O.B. of a prince. Though, he was also a half breed himself, the mighty lavender haired prince had the ability to turn super.

"Poor lower class warrior," said the prince, "you have no chance of survival. Sacrifice yourself and receive a quick death!"

The boy shook his head, "Screw you, Trunks...."

The prince exclaimed, "You DARE address me as anything but 'Your highness'?! Perish, lower warrior!"

Trunks thrusted his sword into the chest of the 'lower class' warrior. Vegeta stood up at his special seat in the arena, applauding his son's victory. Though he never smiled, everyone could see the pride he had. Saiyajin pride was the most prized possession Vegeta could ever own. And no one could take that away from him or his half breed son.

*1 month eariler*

Tyler lied on his bed with a sigh. He stared at the sword on the wall in front of him. His father never told him why he wanted him to have it. He just told him that it was important to keep it with him. Tyler hated using weapons. It made him feel weak. He looked in the mirror across the room. He walked up to it to analyze himself and began to question his existence as usual. He then looked closer. His spiked, black hair, blue eyes, tan skin. He liked his Earthling clothes. They were about the coolest thing in the world to him. His baggy, black jeans, white T-shirt and Black, denim jacket. He loved the jacket. The yin yang symbol on the back was a nice touch. Other people his age were mostly half breeds like him, but the pure saiyjins would always discriminate except for the prince. They knew better. Tyler's fighting skills matched the prince's. If he could turn into a super saiyajin, they would be complete equals. But only the royal family had that ability.

As random thought swam in his head, his mother walked into the room, "Tyler? Shouldn't you be going to the training center now? You know how the king is about training."

Tyler turned around, "Yes, mom. I'll be on my way." Tyler began to walk away.

"Tyler, try not to loose your temper, okay?" said his caring mother.

Tyler nodded, "Okay, mom. See ya!"

He dashed out the front door and flew off.

*************
"Kakarrotto!"

Vegeta stood there, waiting impatiently.

Kakarrotto came running into the throne room, "Yes, sire?"

Vegeta replied, "I want you to go to the dungeon and check on that defiant mate of mine."

Kakarrotto bowed, "Certainly, your highness."

Vegeta thought to himself as Kakarrotto exited, "If she does not cooperate in giving me a second child, her last days shall arrive very quickly...."

Vegeta stood up and walked to his balcony overlooking the kingdom.

"A new child to help rule this planet...I believe that is a brilliant plan. That will help keep those rebellious humans in line..."

*************
Tyler flew and landed on the training field. All of the male teenage saiyajins were lined up like military cadets in front of Nappa who paced by them, explaining the rules of combat, which was anything goes. Tyler ran and joined the line up, but too bad for him, Nappa was quicker to see him arrive.

Nappa smiled meancingly, "Well, if it ain't the master of fashionable lateness himself! Glad you decided to make time in your busy schedule to show up!"

Tyler held back his sneer and ignored the sarcasm. Pissing off one of the king's men was NOT a good idea.

Tyler replied with swallowed pried, "Gomen nasai...."

Nappa walked up in front of Tyler, "And you're so trendy with those Earth clothes of yours, too."

Before Tyler knew it, he was doubled over from Nappa's punch to the gut that sounded and struck like thunder when it impacted.

Nappa announced to the others, "Another combat tip: ALWAYS keep your guard up!" He looked back down at Tyler, "Next time you're late, it'll be with a ki blast, got it?!"

Nappa didn't wait for him to answer, "Now, everybody pair off and spar for an hour."

Trunks stepped forward toward Tyler, "Hey, you. I will be your sparring partner."

Tyler cocked an eyebrow, "Nani? You sure?"

Trunks then smirked slyly, "Are you questioning my judgment, SOLDIER?"

Tyler replied, "Uh...no..your highness..." That was like poison on Tyler's tongue to say that. He hated abusive authority, but he could do nothing. It wasn't that he feared Trunks, he just feared what he could make happen.

Trunks smirked, "Well then. Tyler, isn't it? Let's begin."

Tyler jumped into his fighting stance as Trunks did the same with a sly grin.

*************

Kakarrotto walked through the dungeon with a tray of food. Steak, mashed potatoes, spinach and a piece of bread. His foot steps echoed through the halls as he came to the large cell at the end of the hall. He held the tray with one hand as he opened the door. As the door opened, the sound of soft weeping seeped into the saiyajin's ear. Kakarrotto had for the most part gone soft over the years. That earth woman he took in as a mate showed him love and compassion. Although he had been exposed to such wonders, he made sure to hide it well from others. Especially King Vegeta. He looked at the young, blue haired woman who was still wearing the same dirty, white night gown as always.  She was well fed, but never permitted to see the light until she proved her complete loyalty to the king. Kakarrotto approached the corner in which she was crying. He checked in on her for the past few years, so they were on a first name basis.

Karraotto knelt down beside her, "Bulma...you shouldn't cry in a place like this."

Bulma sobbed in frustration, "Why not?! My life is gone! Everyone I ever cared about is light-years away. For all I know, I'll end up dying here. My own son could care less about me! I wish I was dead!"

She cried onto his shoulder as Kakarrotto put one arm around her for comfort and replied, "That's not the attitude of a person who demands freedom. I think that you should pretend to be loyal for a while. I know you hate the idea, but you can do a lot more outside than you can in here. Remember my words, Bulma."

Kakarrotto placed the tray of food in front of her, "Build your strength. Just because you aren't a saiyajin doesn't mean you can't be one of the strongest." With that, Kakarrotto left, leaving Bulma with his words to think about.

******************

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Trunks powered up a massive ki blast at Tyler. Tyler's reaction was dodging and then warping behind Trunks with an elbow to his back, which sent him flying, face first, into the ground. Trunks crashed landed with a booming sound as dust flew up all around the crash site. Before the dust could clear, Trunks shot back out of the dust and directly at Tyler. Trunks vanished a second before colliding with him.

Tyler looked all around frantically, "Where the...?!"

Suddenly, Trunks was in front of Tyler with a palm in his face, "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!!"

The last thing Tyler saw was a bright, blue flash of light.

When he came to, he was on the ground, on his back. His blurred vision came into focus. There was Trunks, standing over him with both fists in the air and a foot on his chest.

Tyler's rage took over as his left eye began to twitch. Without thinking, he grabbed Trunks by the ankle and slung him to the ground.

Keeping a tight grip on the young prince's ankle, Tyler jumped to his feet and began to spin around in circles. He spun so fast that he and Trunks were resembled a miniature tornado. Tyler let go, sending Trunks into the air. He powered up and shot a ki blast up after him. Luckily, Trunks regained his senses in mid-air and lunged to his right, dodging the blast, but by then, Tyler had vanished from his sight. He looked around, but when he looked behind him, two cupped palms were in his face.

"GUROKEN!!!" (Negative Energy Sphere Discharge)

A huge red ball of energy shot from Tyler's palms with an explosion which struck Trunks to the ground once more. Tyler warped back down and decided to stand there and wait for Trunks' next attack. But 3 minutes went by and the smoke cleared. Trunks was still on the ground. Tyler had knocked out the prince! The other trainees gathered around Tyler and the unconscious Trunks. They gasped in shock. Nappa's eyes bugged out at the sight.

"How the hell?!" Cried a stupified Nappa.

******************

Meanwhile, on Earth, Yamcha stands in the middle of a scorching ring of fire.

"Won't...give...up....."

His power aura faintly surrounded him. He struggled to extinguish the fire. He then had an image of her creep into his mind. Her beautiful, smiling face. Her soft skin, her beautiful, blue hair, and the way they would never be seen apart. And then an image of her being taken away by them. The saiyajins. The one with the tall hair and cape snatching up Bulma against her will like that. He took his only love in the world from him and he had to pay!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Yamcha's voice echoed through the room of spirit and time as his raging power aura rapidly put out the wildfire around him. He sneered as he saw an image of the smirking saiyajin in front of him.

"The woman is mine now, boy!"

Yamcha shouted at he flew at his illusion, "Ovey my dead body! WOLF FANG FIST!!!"

******************
Mr. Popo asked Kami, "How long has Yamcha been inside?"

Kami replied, "Almost 12 hours. I fear that he may overwhelm himself. He is very strong, but it could drive a lone person mad if they stay for too long."

Mr. Popo agreed, "But do you think we should try to get him out of there?"

Kami shook his head, "No, Mr. Popo. Yamcha is wise enough to make his own decisions, I trust he will make the right one."

Mr. Popo sighed, "I pray that he doesn't end up killing himself."

Kami nodded, "So do I , Mr. Popo. So do I."

*****************

"KA....ME.....HA....ME....HA!!!!!"

The turtle wave launched across the ocean, making huge waves in the water. Krillin stood there with his cupped hands extended.

"Man...I think I've gotten a lot stronger, but I have to push more just in case those aliens come back!"

"Hello, Krillin."

Krillin turned around and jumped a bit, "WHOA! Oh, it's you. You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Son Gohan smiled, "My apologies, though it was somewhat funny."

Krillin narrowed his eyes a bit, "Very funny."

Gohan smirked, "No, only somewhat."

A sweat drop materialized on the back of Krillin's head.

"So, what can I do for ya?"

Gohan asked, "Do you remember those men who kidnapped all those women years ago?"

Krillin nodded.

Gohan continued, "I heard from Kami that some of their ships are approaching this very moment."

Krillin's eyes widened, "NANI?!?! No doubt they're gonna try to kidnap more women. Well, they're not gettin' em without a fight this time!"

Gohan sighed, "Krillin, try to calm yourself. A person who fights with rage will-"

"Eventually be destroyed by it," Krillin finished, "I know that, but it's just so upsetting."

Gohan nodded, "Indeed, it is. But we must not loose focus. We must stand our ground."

Krillin's eye widened, "YOU'RE gonna fight with us?!"

Gohan simply nodded. Anyone else would think the old man was nuts. But Krillin knew that Son Gohan knew what he was doing. You don't live to be as old as he by being a moron. Krillin sighed as they both looked up into the sky, hoping for the best, but expecting the worse.

******************

Trunks spat as he was in his royal bedroom, "That lower class fool! I'll make him suffer for what he did to me! I'll take care of him myself!" Trunks looked in the mirror and saw a scar on his face from when Tyler had sent him crashing to the ground, face first. "GRRR..!!! He'll suffer divine retribution! I'll make his life hell and THEN finish him off! Vengeance will be mine...." Trunks slammed his fist into the floor, placing a hole in the stone it was made of.

Nappa walked in and said, "Your highness. You royal meal is prepared." Trunks had his back to Nappa, facing the wall with his head hung down.

"I won't be eating at this time. I have some massive training to do."

Nappa cocked an eyebrow, "Training this late in the afternoon?"

Nappa couldn't see the evil smile on the young man's face. The yearning for revenge hit Trunks like a 12 gauge shotgun at point blank range. He walked out to his balcony, which also overlooked a majority of the kingdom, much like Vegeta's. A faint, white power aura surrounded the young prince's body, then became more visible and powerful as he blasted off into the afternoon sky.

Nappa watched and said with a sigh, "Like father, like son...."

******************

Kakarrotto finally made it home. He was tired. Not just physically, but just sick of being a royal servant. The more he did it, the less sense it made. He wanted to end all of this crap. The king acted more like the king of the universe, than just a planet. Vegeta was just snobby and cruel for no reason. Kakarrotto's ill thoughts of Vegeta diminished as he saw his wife come out of the den.
Her long, green hair hung down over her shoulders as her blue eyes shone with happiness in seeing her husband. She had on a white kimono with pink flower designs all around it.

"Welcome home, honey." She greeted him with a loving, gentle hug. They stood there in each other's arms for a bit. "Is that young woman still okay?"

Kakarrotto replied, "Yeah, I just hope she stays that way. Being forced to have a child and being locked away is anything but just, Reiko."

She sighed, "I agree. But there's nothing we can do to end all this mess. We can only help where we're able." As they fell from each other's arms, the sound of a young child laughing could be heard. A young boy with green, spiked hair came out. His eyes were black like Kakarrotto's and he was basically more of his mother's innocent personality. But his oldest son was more like him, so it evened out at bit.

Kakarrotto looked at the boy, "Tomito. What's so funny?"

The small boy replied, "I learned a new trick!"

Kakarrotto smirked, "Really? Then show me."

Tomito grinned, "'Kay!" He stood in a battle stance and extended both his hands forward as a blue ball over energy began to grow in front of him. The energy ball grew the size of a basketball. Tomito began to bounce it around, then it began to ricochet around the house, knocking things over. Reiko ducked as she was almost given a discount haircut (AKA decapitation) by the out of control ball of ki. Kakarrotto shot a minor blast to counter the ball and canceled both blasts out, making a small explosion. Fortunately, all the damage made was easily fixable.

Reiko sighed, "Tomito, what am I going to do with you? Sometimes I wish you were just a little more like your big brother."

Tomito hung his head down, "Gomen nasai...."

Kakarrotto sighed, "You need to learn more control, boy."

*******************

Meanwhile, on a space ship that is currently entering the earth's atmosphere, two saiyajin warriors sit in the cockpit.

"Well, Moshrum. There it is, the planet Earth. What kinda chick are you gonna take for yerself?"

"I don't know really know, Curn. Maybe one who can suck a golf ball outta 25 feet of garden hose...."

Moshrum raised an eyebrow, then smiled, "Good answer. We're entering the Earth's atmosphere now. Gotta get ready for the round up!"

Curn exclaimed, "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!"

----------------

Krillin and Gohan stood in a deserted area where they believed the ship was going to land.

"Remember to focus, Krillin. Don't let your rage conquer this time." Krillin nodded as he looked at the ship with narrowed eyes. As the ship came closer, it was landing WAY further from the spot Krillin and Gohan were.

Krillin exclaimed, "Aw, MAN! We gotta get 'em before they have a chance to land!" Krillin turned to look at Gohan, but he was already flying in that direction. Krillin powered up, causing his body to be surrounded by a white power aura, "Hey! Wait for me!" He quickly blasted off after his sensei.

******************

Tyler wondered around for a bit to clear his head. He was really worried. No doubt that word would get out that he knocked out the high, royal prince. He thought of how Trunks would get revenge. Everyone knew how the royal family was obsessed with their pride. And if someone hurt their pride, they would have to pay dearly. Tyler wandered about for about thirty minutes. Suddenly, someone touched his shoulder. He turned around to see a glowing hand in his face. He warped above the person, out of the way as a blast blew up the chunk of ground he was standing on, making a small crater.

"What the?!"

He looked down to see a girl with long, black hair, tied up with a ponytail and bangs hanging over her forehead. She had on tight, sky-blue jeans, black combat boots, and a blue muscle shirt, over a black T-shirt. She cracked her knuckles and balled up her fists which were covered by black, fingerless gloves.

She smirked as she put her hands on her hips and looked up at him.

"Not bad. But you'll have to do more than dodge against ME!"

Tyler cocked an eyebrow, "Hey! I'm not gonna fight a girl..."

She only grinned evilly, "Fine. I'LL just fight YOU!"

She warped behind him and clasped her hands together and slammed them into his back, sending Tyler crashing to the ground. Tyler shook his head as he was still lying down in the crater he just made, surrounded by the dust, also caused by his recent crash.

The girl floated above and folded her arms over her chest, "C'mon! Is this ALL the guy who beat Trunks has to offer?"

Tyler sighed as he heard that. He knew it was a pretty slim chance that people would let him live this down. He shouted, "I was just lucky, okay?!" Tyler knew it was a lie.

"Yeah, right! And I'm the legendary super saiyajin!" Apparently, she knew it was, too. She continued, "Fine! If you don't show me your true power, I'm just gonna beat the hell outta you till ya do!"

Tyler thought to himself, "This is gonna be a loooong afternoon. Man, I just wanna go home!"

**********************

Meanwhile, on Earth, Son Gohan and Krillin stood before the space ship hatch as it slowly opened. Steam went flying all over the opening, concealing the detailed appearances of the two, muscular figures. They stepped out of the ship and from the wasting steam, revealing themselves to the two warriors. They both stood at the same height and looked the same except that one's hair was black and spiked, but the other's hair was blue and relaxed, hanging down to his upper back. His attitude and the way he looked spelled 'pretty boy' all over.

The pretty boy smirked and said, "Hey, Curn. It looks like the Weak Jackass Committee's come to welcome us."

The other chuckled, "Yeah. I suddenly have to urge to blast somethin'. How should I solve my problem, Moshrum?"

Moshrum grinned evilly, "Have at 'em."

Curn smirked as he extended his palm towards Gohan and Krillin. "Goodbye, worms." A sudden blast of ki exploded with Krillin and Gohan in the center of it all. The smoke cleared and both saiyajin warriors stared with wide eyes. Krillin smirked as his power shield surrounded him and Gohan.

"Now, it's OUR turn!" exclaime Krillin.

Curn flew up into the air, "Divide and conquer!" Krillin flew up after him as Moshrum faced of against Gohan.

Moshrum's eyes narrowed at Gohan, "Make your move, old man."

Gohan stood there with his hands behind his back and a blank stare. He then blinked twice.

Moshrum powered up and exclaimed, "You makin' fun of me?!?! DIE!"

He charged at Gohan at full speed with a ki blast waiting in his hand. Gohan's action was so quick, it wasn't even noticed. All Moshrum knew was that he was on the ground and Gohan was still standing in the same position.

Gohan smiled at Moshrum and said, "Momentum is a very interesting concept, is it not?"

Moshrum powered up to his fullest power and shot continuous blasts at Gohan in rage. Gohan dodged the blasts with flip maneuvers. Moshrum when crazy and began to let loose ALL his power into the blasting barrage. Gohan continued to dodge with not even the smallest burn in a single thread of his clothing.
 

        Krillin and Curn exchanged hits in mid air with no hits connecting against either person. Krillin warped behind Curn, ramming his foot into his lower back. Curn let out a groan as he grabbed Krillin's foot from behind his back and chucked him toward a nearby mountain. Before Krillin's crash, he seemingly vanished from site.

Curn looked around, "Where are ya, you little chrome dome midget?!" Suddenly, Curn felt a massive force strike his jaw hard enough to send him into the ground at least 10 feet.

Krillin sneered, "NOBODY cracks jokes about me and gets away with it!"

Curn climbed out of the crater and sneered, "Damn....humans aren't supposed to be this strong!"

Krillin smirked, "We knew you would return one day, so we prepared for it. Too bad you weren't smart enough to do the same!"

Curn powered up all his energy for one, giant blast. "YOU'RE DEAD!!!"

Krillin sneered and thought to himself, "Man, this guy's a sore loser. I gotta end this now!" Krillin's power aura flared up violently around him, "KAME....HAME...." The raging saiyajin shot his huge energy blast which made him look like an ant in size comparison. Krillin extended his cupped hand in forward, "HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" The two energy blast collided in mid air as both warriors struggled to overcome the other. Veins were popping up all over Krillin's body as he strained to overcome the might saiyajin. Curn couldn't put up much more of a defense. This was his very first mission and he hardly ever trained. But today was when he would pay for that mistake. Krillin went all out and threw in all his strength, "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

WIth a huge, overwelming explosion, the Kamehameha won over the saiyajin's deadly beam and brought down the full impact of both opposing blast down upon him. The blast was huge enough for people at least 100 miles away to get a decent glimpse of the destruction. Krillin floated back down to the ground and lied down in his back, panting with total exhaustion.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!! My brother!!!" Moshrum growled, "You will pay..." He shot a ball of energy up into the air. Gohan cocked an eyebrow as he had no clue what he was doing. Krillin looked up at the ball of energy from where he was resting,

"What the?"

Suddenly, there was a blast of blue light and a blue energy ball grew bright in the afternoon sky. Suddenly, Moshrum's face began to acquire more ape like features as hair covered the majority of his body and his eyes turned red. He grew about 50 feet tall and roared while simultaneously beating his chest. He then proceeded to shoot ki blasts from his mouth at Gohan. Gohan still dodged, but this time, the blast still blew him back, making him landed violently and roll on the ground. As he rolled, he knee cap slammed into a huge rock that was embedded into the grass. He then heard a loud, snapping sound and groaned in pain. The huge ape came closer, planning to step on him like a roach.

Krillin slowly got up, although his power was drained from the ki blast battle. Suddenly, a small, brown pebble flew into his hand. It looked like a peanut at first. He picked it up and realized immediately what it was. He popped it into his mouth and swallowed. He then hopped up, fully energized. He looked up to see Tien (Tenshinhan) with a brown sack, obviously filled up with senzu. Krillin and Tien rushed to Gohan's aide. Before the giant ape could crush the injured Gohan, Krillin scooped him up from the ground as Tien distracted him with a ki blast to the side of his head. The ape turned toward Tien and began blasting breath beams, none hitting the mighty triclops.

*********************

Tyler crashed into the ground, making yet another small crater. He stood up and shook off his dizziness.

The girl smirked, "You're just B.S.ing me! I know you're not this weak! Or maybe you're just too cowardly to fight."

Tyler floated up into the air, "I ain't gonna fight you!" He looked around to realize she was nowhere in sight. "What the?! Where'd she go?!"

Suddenly, she grabbed him from behind in a bear hug, "Gotcha! Won't fight, eh? We'll see about that!" She moved her hands slowly down his sides and puts her hands inside of his jacket. She caressed his sides and says, "You would put all these muscles to waste?" Suddenly she quickly drew back, swiping his jacket right off. "Well, if you don't wanna fight me, I'll just go home now!"

She giggled merrily as she flew off.

Tyler growled as he gave chase, "Come back here, you!!!!" He powered up violently and caught up quickly. He grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her back, stopping her.

Tyler shouted with fury, "Gimme my jacket!"

She simplysmiled and punched him in the gut, making him double over.

She giggled again, "Sucker punch! SUCKER!"

With a taunting grin, she quickly flew off once more, leaving Tyler in his own rage.

He suddenly warped in front of her with gritted teeth, "That's it!"

Before they knew it, they were above the kingdom, exchanging blow for blow like bitter enemies. People looked above and watched like it was a heavyweight title match on Pay Per View.
 

*********************

Krillin flew by Tien and said, "I'm taking Master Gohan to a safe place, will you be okay by yourself?"

Tien replied as they both dodged a major blast delivered by the beast, "Don't worry, just get him out of here!"

Krillin nodded and flew off. While watching Krillin leave, Tien was suddenly backslapped by the huge ape, through a tree. He groaned a bit as he began to stand up again. Before regaining himself a huge foot punted him through another tree. Before he knew it, he was blasted by a huge beam and being stomped deeper and deeper into the ground. Tien began to power up while taking this beating and blasted the foot that was pummeling him. The ape roared in pain and hopped on on foot for a bit a Tien came dashing from the ground and gave on good blast to the ape's eye. It roared in pain again before it started too go ballistic and fired at everything around him.

Tien dodged whatever came at him since there was no real place to take cover. He then decided to blast a beam at its leg to take it down as a yellow disc came flying out in the open and chopped off it's tail upon its falling. Tien looked in the direction of where the blast came from to see Yamcha standing on a cliff, with a blank expression on his face. Tien looked at Yamcha in pleasant surprise. Yamcha came flying down from the cliff, next to Tien, in front of the now normal saiyajin who was apparently weakened.

"How'd you know to take off the tail?" asked Tien.

Yamcha replied coldly, "I was aiming for it's head."

Tien replied with slight shock, "Oh.."

Yamcha looked down at the fallen saiyajin with hateful eyes.

Tien looked at his best friend with concern, "Yamcha, are you okay?"

Yamcha said nothing. His fists tightened to the point he was drawing blood from his own palms which dripped from his clinched fists. His teeth began to grit as he had a painful look in his eyes. Pain, hate and torture infested Yamcha's soul like an evil spirit. His power aura faintly gleamed around his body. His body trembled with rage as Tien watched, worried about his friend. Suddenly, flashes of Bulma's face flickered in his mind as he could hear her voice calling him with the beautiful, soft voice of hers.

Tien touched Yamcha's shoulder, "Yamcha...you have to get a grip!"

Yamcha powered up with a raging bellow, blowing Tien back, making him land flat on his back. Yamcha's palm extended toward the saiyajin.

The saiyajin looked up at Yamcha with complete fear in his eyes, "No, wait!"

Yamcha's voice echoed through the empty field, "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!!"

His scream was followed by an explosion which drowned out Yamcha's raging cry and swallowed the saiyajin whole and left nothing but ash. Tien floated above, thankful he was able to get away from that in time. Yamcha stood there in the same position, panting from the stressful energy release.

Tien looked down at Yamcha and thought to himself, "He's never been the same since they took her away. I'd better check on him."

Tien landed down beside Yamcha who was slowly coming out of his motionless trance.

Before Tien could say anything,  Yamcha simply said, "I have a plan."

Tien asked, "A plan? What?"

Yamcha pointed to the space ship the saiyajin pair came in, "Check out our new ride."

Tien raiseed an eyebrow, "What?!"

Yamcha then explained, "I'm takin' that ship and goin' on a rescue mission."

Tien folded his arms, "Even though it's dangerous and life threatening, it's worth a try. But don't you think we should take Krillin with us?"

Yamcha nodded, "Of course. But if he goes, you'll have to stay."

Tien sighed, "Right. Someone has to hold down the fort. I'll stay here, in that case. I'm not much for space traveling. I hated Star Wars."

Yamcha shrugged, "Suit yourself. I'll just have to tell Krillin."

A familiar voice sounded from behind him, "Tell Krillin what?"

Yamcha turned around to see Krillin standing there with a raiseded eyebrow. Yamcha pointed at the saiyajin space craft, "I'm goin' to rescue the women from the saiyajin planet, wanna come?"

Krillin nodded, "Count me in! Besides, there's no use waiting for them to come here all the time."

Tien smirked, "Both of you do me a favor and try not to die, okay?"

Krillin replied, "Don't worry. I can't die that soon anyway. You still owe me 50 bucks."

Tien chuckled a bit, "Nice motivation." Yamcha had a blank look on his face as always. He didn't laugh, cry or show any emotion but that of anger and hate. But then again, if the love of your life is stolen from you and used as a cheap thrill and a baby factor for someone neither of you know or like, wouldn't that piss you off, too?

Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien all looked at one another and nodded in unison. The mission was now officially underway. Yamcha and Krillin began to walk to the ship.

Tien shouted out to them, "Hey!" They both turned around as a brown object flew at them rapidly. Yamcha lifted up his right hand and caught the sack of senzu.

Tien nodded and said, "Just in case."

Krillin smiled back, "Thanks, buddy. Hold down the fort while we're gone!" Krillin and Yamcha climbed into the ship as the hatch door closed. Soon, they were in the cockpit.

Krillin looked around at all the controls, "Uh...how do you start this thing?"

Yamcha shrugged, "Dunno. Guess we'll have to try all the buttons." Krillin and Yamcha began pull levers and pressing buttons for at least 5 minutes without success.

Krillin sighed as he threw his head back into the seat. "This sucks."

Yamcha replied while still trying buttons, "We'll eventually get it. Keep looking." Krillin sighed as he rolled his eyes upward and then back to the controls in front of him. He did a double take and looked up again. There was a big, blue button that said "LAUNCH" in big, white letters. Krillin chuckled as he tapped Yamcha's shoulder. Yamcha looked over at his hairless partner, "Did you find it?" Krillin pointed up at the button and began laugh hysterically.

Yamcha frowned, "Krillin, what the hell is so funny? Are you smokin' the happy plant or somethin'?"

Krillin chuckled, "No, man! It's just that it was so obvious and we didn't even notice! It's funny to me."

Yamcha sighed, "Just start the ship already..."

Tien looked at the ship and thought to himself, "What the heck are they doing in there? They must be trying to figure out how to start the ship. Or maybe they're training their minds for the long journey through space."

Suddenly the ship began to take off.

"Or maybe not...."

-------------------

As the ship began to lift off as Krillin grinned, "Saiyajin planet, here we come!"

Yamcha smiled a bit and thought to himself, "Don't lose hope, Bulma. I'll be with you soon. I promise."
