Chapter 1-Welcome to Earth

One month later...

Earth

A Namekian ship the size of a small house, lands in a field just outside a small town in the countryside. Slowly, a platform is lowered from the bottom of the ship, and on it are three Namekians. Two are female and the third is male. Clearly, the male is older them the two females. The older male is in common dress, and the two females are dressed in clothes that look like a more casual form of the Namekian's warriors garb, with no shoulder-pads, or the puffy material around there necks. The gi like tops shows off the smooth green skin of there necks, dipping down a bit low, and showing some of there cleavage. The tops were loose, but came around tight over there breasts, accentuating the soft curves. There would be no doubt by anyone who looked upon them that they were female. They wear no turbans and there skirts are down to there feet with no slits. They are quite the beautiful pare. The tallest one of the group is female. She is the older of the two, and is about a head, and a half taller than Piccolo. The second female is probably at Piccolo's eye level, and the male is about two feet shorter than her.

They step off the platform, there expressions unreadable.

"So this is Earth, Piccolo's home planet. Don't you fine it odd, Hita, that the strongest Namekian alive, chooses not to live among his own kind?" The older female says looking to the other.

"Yes, it does seem a bit odd, but perhaps he sees them as we do-too pacifistic. Perhaps this planet has more to offer him." Hita answers her face softening to her friend.

"Perhaps," The older female replies in thought then says, "Now where to search for him."

"Maybe we should just raise our power levels. That would get his attention." The male speaks stepping up to stand next to the tallest female.

"You're right father, but I don't want to announce our arrival to everyone on the planet just yet." The older female answers.

"This planet has a Guardian. Perhaps we should look for him. I believe they said his name was Dende. He was the one they tried to call for help. Do you think it wise to hide ourselves from him?" Hita asks.

"If his strength was truly worthy of being a Guardian, we wouldn't be ably to hide ourselves from him, but it's a good idea. We will seek him out later. I would like to look around this planet first. Let us see what this planet has to offer Piccolo that New Namek does not. There's a small population not to far away. Let's go take a look." The older female answers. They fly off to the small town.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

They fly over the town and land on the sidewalk in a busy down town street. As soon as they touch down, the town's people begin to run in fear. Some even screaming it's another alien attack. This irritates them to no end, and they look disgustedly at the people as they run for there lives.

"It's obvious he doesn't frequent the public streets of this world." Hita says wryly as they watch the people scurry.

"Or perhaps he does and these people have good reason to fear us." The male answers.

This idea doesn't sit well with the oldest female and she reaches out a hand, using her telekinetic powers to snatch up the closest female of the fleeing people off the street. She pulls the terrified teenage girl to her at eye level. The teenage girl's legs dangle about four feet above the ground.

"Tell me. Have you ever seen a being like myself and my companions." The female's voice is hard and commanding, but holds no malice. The girl shakes her head no. "Then why do you run from us?"

"You're a horrible alien that's come to destroy our planet, aren't you?" The girl barely whispered her answer, the Namekian female using the hearing native to her kind to listen.

"We are not." The female answers dryly, and is about to drop the girl when a flier floating on the wind, catches on her out stretched hand. She looks at it and it says, 'Hercule, World Martial Arts Champion, Savior of the World! Well be coming to...' She didn't read the rest, but looks at the picture. It was the ugliest male she'd ever seen, he was grinning, and making some kind of sign with his fingers, two were outstretched to the heavens in a V. She turns the flier to the girl, "Who is he?"

The girls face immediately lights up, "That's Hercule the World's Champion. He saved the world from Cell the darkest threat the world has ever known. So if I where you I get back on my space ship and go home before you make the Champ angry."

The female pulls the girl closer, and says her tone a bit harder than before, "Tell me. Where is this champ?"

"He...he... he lives in Satan City." The girl answers becoming more frighten by the moment.

"Which way." The female asks. The girl points west and the Namekian drops her, taking to the air. Her companions look to her for answers. "This Hercule is this world's greatest male warrior. He will know what other great male warriors dwell on this planet, and perhaps a way to contact them in times of need. Perhaps he will know of Piccolo."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

They soar through the air at high speeds until they see a sign that says, 'Welcome to Satan City! Home to Earths Greatest hero.' On the sign is a picture of the same ugly man on the flier. With a nod, the oldest female gives a sign to land. Again, they land on the sidewalk of a busy street, but instead of the people fleeing in terror, they simply get a few odd looks.

"Apparently, these beings are more at ease with beings not of there species." Hita comments as they receive another strange look from the passers by. They begin to walk down the sidewalk, the people making a path for them as they go. They walk by a store with a window display full of active TV's, and all on the same channel. The face that has become associated with the name Hercule comes across the screen and the oldest female stops to watch. The others do the same, Hercule being himself goes through his speech and dance about him being the greatest.

"He is quite boastful, is he not, Tanvi?" Hita asks her friend sardonically as she turns to look away from the stupidity and to her companions.

Tanvi, the older female, never looks away from the man making a fool of himself on the screen, "Let us hope all the warriors of this world are not so...How did you put it?" She looks to her friend, "Boastful."

"I have yet to see what makes this planet preferable to New Namek." The male states dryly.

"Neither do I father." Tanvi answers as they begin to walk a way, but just as they turn to leave the end of the commercial comes up and states the location of 'Hercule's School of Martial Arts.' She stops a woman that is walking by, "Can you tell me where this 5th and 2nd is?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

At Hercule's School of Martial Arts, Hercule is outside on a fighting platform, performing a demonstration for his top students, which consisted of six muscle-headed idiots. He just finished and is now giving his closing speech.

"All right men! Remember that's one of my most secret moves. I used that move on Cell." Hercule says in his usually boastful tone, giving his class a little wink at the end, "So that's all for to day, and I know if you men practice you can be as good as me one day." The class ends with the usual chant of Hercule rules and they left.

Just as Hercule begins to step off the platform, three Namekians land across from him. Hercule can't believe his eyes and thinks, AW MAN!! ALIENS!! AND THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE FRIENDLY KIND!! I'd better get out of here before they challenge me or something. He starts to run, but then he realizes that there are some of his students looking out the building windows at them. Got to make this good for my students, after all I am the world champ! He thinks to himself as he turns and flashes the students in the window a grin, striking one of his many ridiculous stances, then turns back to his alien visitors.

"Are you the one called Hercule?" Tanvi asks her tone devoid of emotion. They all search him with there senses and can't feel any significant ki signature, which to them can mean only two things: the guy is incredibly strong or weak. Hercule's grin fades a bit as he sweat-drops.

Don't let them challenge me. Don't let them challenge me. Don't let them challenge me. Don't let them challenge me. He chants over and over in his mind like a mantra, then answers with fake confidence, "Yes I am. What can I do for you, Missy?"

Tanvi narrows her eyes at the missy comment, "You will refer to me as Amita. So you are this world's greatest male warrior?" At this Hercule facefaults, thinking, God, what did I ever do to deserve this! I knew it! They're going to challenge me. Now what am I going to do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Inside the building by the windows...

"Hey, somebody should call Videl. I'd bet she'd love to see her father in action." Some skinny brown haired boy says to the crowd.

"Yeah, those dumb aliens! Just didn't know what they were getting into when they challenged the Champ!" A blond headed boy answers. At that, the Namekian male looks over at them and they hide. Someone goes to call Videl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Back outside, Hercule quickly pulls himself together, thinking, I'm the Champ! I'm the Champ! I'm the Champ! The World's Savior! The Greatest Warrior on Earth! I can do this! I can do this! I can do this! Wooooow Yeah!!! He laughs off his earlier behavior, puffing up, and says in his loud arrogant tone, "You've got that right, Ms. Amita! I'm the world's greatest warrior! Savior of the Earth! The man who Defeated Cell! The Champ!" God, please don't let them kill me.

"Do you know of the other great warriors of Earth?" Tanvi asks in a clip tone. Hercule facefaults again and sweat-drops as he rises, saying yes. "Good, tell me, Hercule, do you know of a creature like myself that dwells on this planet by the name of Piccolo."

Hercule thinks back to the Cell Games and remembers him, "Yes, I knew of him, but he died in the Cell Games." She is visibly taken back by this, it's a stiff act, but obviously, this is not the news she wanted to hear.

"You are sure." Tanvi asks. He nods. "Show me your power!"

"What!" Hercule says in surprise as he sweat-drops, I'm done for.

"If this Cell was powerful enough to kill him and you kill Cell, then your power should be greater than his was. At you current level, that is not the case. Show me your power." Tanvi demands. Still Hercule's power remains the same, so she decides to force him to use his power. She creates an energy ball the size of a basketball and holds it up in her right hand. "Show me your power!" Her voice has a bit of venom in it this time. She grows impatient. Her ki flairs in purple hues and somewhere in the city the Great Saiyaman is alerted to her presence. Her companions step a few feet away from her. They stand at the side now and fold there arms over there chests in wait. Still his energy remains the same. In an instant, she throws out her left hand using her powers to call him to her. Immediately, Hercule flies off the ground, and is now hovering only a few feet away from her out stretched hand, Why, God, Why!!!. "You are a liar! Tell me who killed this Cell!" She asks-her voice like steel.

Just then, all three Namekians turn there heads to the sky. A small form is approaching them at a fair speed for this planet. It's a person. Tanvi turns an eye to her companions that told them to hold there ground. She turns her attention back to the trembling Hercule. He takes a quick peek to see what the three aliens were looking at. Oh no! That's Videl!! Hey, where'd she learn how to fly??? I thought only evil aliens could do that??? Wait a minute!!! That's not important right now! I have to save my baby!! He thinks then opens his mouth to tell her to fly away, but before he can, Videl flies upon Tanvi at her top speed and swings at her, screaming, "Put him down right now! You Green Bitch!"

Tanvi easily dodges the blow, backhanding Videl across the face as she releases Hercule from her hold. The blow wasn't even a tap in her book, but Videl goes flying back with the force. Her mouth trickles blood, but before she can react, Tanvi takes to the air, her purple glow fading to nothing as she launches her energy ball. Videl still dazed barely moves out of the way, the energy grazing her right arm. To the on lookers of the battle it seems that in a blink the second female on the ground appears in the air just in time to deflect the hurtling ball of energy from destroying a large part of the city into the air where it explodes harmlessly. Then within a second blink, she is back at the male's side standing visual as if she never left.

Videl's screams of pain are drowned out in the explosion, and before she can pull herself together, Tanvi flies upon her fast in a blink, overwhelming her with a barrage of blows, all as hard as the first. Tanvi pulls back, looking east in the sky, and the other to Namekians turn there gaze east as well. They sense a new power level coming in there direction. It's much more powerful than any other power level they'd felt on this planet. Videl falls from the sky hitting the ground with a thud. The sound brings the curious Namekians attention back to the fight, and in a blur of speed, Tanvi lands across from the fallen Videl.

Shakily, Videl stands to her feet. None of her bones are broken, but they sure did hurt like hell. She spits blood, and a tooth, taking a protective stance in front of her father as she thinks, Man, I'm in way over my head here. She's faster and stronger than me, but I can't let my Dad down, not when he needs me the most. I don't know what she did to him, but he looked helpless. I've never seen him that way before, and never want to again. When Tanvi dropped him, he lands hard on his head and is unconscious. Videl just glares at her, gritting her teeth as she looks at her father out of the corner of her eyes. Yes, he is most definitely out of this fight, for the count, but I won't let her win, not with out a fight, Damn it!! She thinks to herself before she attacks Tanvi.

The female Namekian easily blocks all her blows with one hand as they fly all over the fighting platform. She gives a few hits here and there, but for the most part, she blocks Videl's blows.

"You should choose your battles girl. You are out classed." Tanvi says her tone sounding more like the sound of a scolding mentor than an evil adversary. With those words, she backhands Videl across the face with a little more force than she put into her other blows. The sickening crack of bone and flesh are audibly heard when Videl flies back hard slamming into the side of one of the school's training buildings, at least five feet above the ground. She is stunned for a long moment, a low moan of pain escaping her lips as she slides to the ground, but she stays on her feet, her eyes slightly rolling back in her head, Oh God...the pain...the pain. I don't think I can move. Tanvi glance to the prone form of Hercule, "I figure he's too old to be your mate so what is he to you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

At that moment, the Great Saiyaman flies on the seen, already a Super Saiyan. His yellow aura flickers furiously and when he sees Videl in trouble, he tries to fly into help her but before he can, the other two Namekians on the side lines fly in cutting off his path.

"Go home. This has nothing to do with you, boy." Hita's voice commands-her tone hard and forceful. The Great Saiyaman is temporarily stunned when he comes face to face with a female Namekian or at least, what he assumed was a female Namekian, judging by the older male that floats at her side she is definitely a Namekian.

"But there are no female Nameks." The words float from the Great Saiyaman's lips all most voicelessly in disbelief, but the two Namekians hear him.

"Yes, there are. We've just been away for a whiled, over two millennia to be exact. How do you know of my species, boy?" Hita asks her voice sounding a bit more casual.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Back on the ground, Videl struggles to pull herself together...

Is she mocking me! Is this some sort of game to her! My father beat Cell Damn it!! And I don't know what she did to catch him off guard, but I won't let her win!! I won't let anything happen to him, especially, when he can't even fight back. I WON'T LET HER WIN!!!!!!! Videl thinks with a new surge of power, and screams in rage as she charges her opponent, "I WON'T LET YOU WIN, DAMN IT!!!! HE'S MY FATHER!!!"

At that Tanvi's total battle tactic changes, she quickly raises her hand, shooting out a bubble like shield at the charging Videl. When she hit the shield, Videl flies back violently. It isn't enough to do her any real harm, but the shear force in which it stops her approach was enough to leave her sprawled across the platform floor.

"VIDEL!!!" The Great Saiyaman screams in fury as he tries to fly past the two Namekians. They move in his way and the fight is on.

At the sound of the Great Saiyaman's voice, Videl clambers back to her feet, looking up and seeing him, without thinking she yells, "Gohan!" At the Tanvi looks up, to see the boy she already knew was there.

"Aw, is he your mate?" Tanvi asks teasingly as she looks back to Videl. Even in her present state Videl can't help, but slightly blush at the question.

"That's none of your business!" Videl answers haughtily.

"Of course he's not, his strength is far more superior to yours, but don't worry girl, you're young." Tanvi says in a friendly tone. Then she looks up slightly never truly taking her eyes off Videl to see Gohan attacking Hita, "He must care about you a lot to fight with a female over you. Your power could increase yet." She looks at Videl with a ghost of a smile and says, "Let's give him a show shall we." Videl is completely confused now at this knew behavior, but then the female before her steps back into a fighting stance, a deep growl emanating from the back of her throat, and then yells aggressively, "Prepare to defend yourself!" With that Tanvi charges.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Videl screams in rage as she charged her opponent, "I WON'T LET YOU WIN, DAMN IT!!!! HE'S MY FATHER!!!"

The Great Saiyaman looks on in horror as he feels ki rising, it's Videl's opponent, and then with in a blink she quickly raises her hand, shooting out a bubble like shield at the charging Videl. When Videl hit the shield, she flies back violently, leaving her sprawled across the platform floor.

"VIDEL!!!" The Great Saiyaman screams in fury as he tries to fly past the two Namekians. They move in his way and the fight is on. Hita gives the male a slight look, and he pulls back. As the purple fire surrounds her entire body, her power level rises significantly, and she goes head to head with the Great Saiyaman with ease. Punches and kicks flies so fast that the normal eye can't follow. The flurry of blows all come from the Great Saiyaman, and the female across from him simply blocks his every blow, not making any move to throw any of her own. The Great Saiyaman thinks, Man, this can't be happening. Is she a Super Namek, all of them, but Piccolo went crazy with power. Earth doesn't need this, and neither does Videl!!!

"Remember your place, boy! This is not a battle for males!" Hita demands as if she were speaking to a child, though inwardly she is impressed, I wonder his power is oddly familiar. Could this be the alien male child we sense back on Namek? That would explain how he knew the name of our species. He has improved greatly cense then.

At that moment, Videl's voice rings through the air, "Gohan!" That's it! I don't want to start a fight in the city with energy attacks, but Videl needs me. And with that thought Gohan starts the familiar chant of power, "Ka...me....Hama...Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"

Hitadeflects the blast, saying lecturingly, "You are a fool boy! You should know your own limits!" They begin to go at it in hand-to-hand combat again, and Gohan powers up to Super Saiyan Two. The female still easily blocks his every blow. She continues to speak-her tone was all most parental as she says, "It wouldn't please her, you rushing into your death. You go home now and let her finish her fight."

"Never!" Gohan yells the frustration and rage coming through in his voice as he hears the female Namekian below scream, "Prepare to defend yourself!" Gohan's mind races, What are they? They can't be Super Nameks. I'm at SSJ2, and she's playing games with me. She hasn't even broken a sweat, and I'm giving it all I've got.

"So be it." Hita replies calmly and in a motion so fast that not even SSJ2 Gohan can follow she is gone. Her replacement, the male, quickly flies up to fill the void of space in front of him before he got a chance to look for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Moments pass with Hita watching the male's progress, but then sensing a new power level coming there way, she goes to intercept it. She flies up fast and stops in front of another male. It's SSJ Vegeta and he nearly runs into her because of the abruptness of her appearance. He looks on in shock, though it truly doesn't show on his face, only his blatant staring is the sole evidence of his surprise.

"Is that boy your progeny?" Hita asks in a firm tone. The firmness of her tone jolts Vegeta out of his shock.

Regaining himself, he answers her in typical Vegeta fashion, "No, he is of no relation to me. What quarrel do you have with the brat, and what are you woman? You can't be a pathetic Namek, because there are no females in the worthless species?" At that, a deep growl emanates from the female's throat, her eyes narrowing to slits, and her ki flaring an even brighter purple, making her power two-times greater than Vegeta's.

Instantly, her hand flies out from her side, shooting a vicious energy burst at Vegeta, it envelopes his entire body, blasting him back at least four hundred yards. Vegeta screams out in pain, her attack taking him totally by surprise, and barely able to stop himself. The blast isn't powerful enough to kill him or do any significant damage, and she knows that, but it sure hurts like hell. Vegeta floats momentarily stunned. His clothes are slightly singed and tattered-his every muscle screaming in agony, then he hears it, the female's voice and what he hears sends him into a fury.

"Watch your tongue Fool, when you speak of a superior species! There is nothing for you here. Go home. You are quite old enough to know your place. I'll not give you another warning. Go home!" Hita commands a little anger coming through in her voice. She then pointedly turns her back on him, and in a blur flies away.

"WHAT!!!! WHAT!!! WARMING 'ME'!!! KNOW YOUR PLACE!!! GO HOME!!!! HOW DARE SHE!!!! HOW DARE SHE!!!!" Vegeta screams in outrage as his yellow ki flashes in a blinding light, his mind numbed to the screaming pain in his body. "SUPERIOR SPECIES!!! I AM VEGETA, PIRNCE OF ALL SAIYANS!!! THE GREATEST RACE TO EVER DON THE GALAXIES!!! HOW DARE SHE SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!!! NO ONE TURNS THERE BACK ON ME!!!!" He screams his ki flaring in a roaring flame as he flies off after her at his top speed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Right away Videl knows that there is something different about her opponent's attack, for one she can see it and dodges the blow with some effort, sending one back on reflects. It barely connects, but it connects. Is she playing with me? SHE'S PLAYING WITH ME!!! What the hell is going through her head? What did she want with my father any way? Videl's mind races as a battle of blows ensues with her landing most of the hits. She's not doing any damage, but almost every hit she through connected, and when her opponent made a hit it didn't nearly hurt as much as the others did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

In the air right after Hita's exit...

The next sensation Gohan feels is the male's fist connecting with his jaw. He never sees it coming, the male is that fast, and Gohan flies back hard with the blow, but before he could plow through the roof of one of the near by training buildings, he barely regains control, his feet bouncing off the top of the roof, leaving crushed rubble imprints behind. Man, this guy is good. I maybe out of shape, but there's no way a Namek should be this strong or fast. I always thought Piccolo was the strongest Namek alive. Where'd that other female go? That's just what I need the two of them ganging up on Videl. Gohan thinks as he rushes back into the battle, the male floating in wait for him. He quickly reaches out with his senses to find the other female, Wait a minute! Is that Vegeta? Yes, that's most definitely Vegeta. He's confronting that other female. Well, I guess that's good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Vegeta catches up with Hita, firing several rapid energy bursts from his hands, Hercule's School of Martial Artsin view a long with the fights going on around it. The blasts zoom at her in a blur and she simply turns into them all, facing her attacker, even going so far as to stick out her hand to catch a burst that was about to miss. Smoke surrounds her and as the wind blows the smoke clears, she glares dangerously at Vegeta, not one part of her damaged. Her outfit isn't even singed. She raises the smoking hand she caught the stray energy burst in and snaps her fingers. In an instant, the long flowing skirt is replaced with a shorter one with slits on either side.

The wind blows giving him a great view of her Namekian beauty, her long sleek legs in perfect sight all the way up to the mid thigh as she says-her tone curt with annoyance, not showing one bit of the patients she had with Gohan, "Fool! You live on this planet, I do not, and if you intend on wasting your energy by destroying the city in which you live, do it else where, because I don't intend to be around when the Calvarycomes to stop you! The last thing we need is an angry mother." The last statement is more to herself than to Vegeta and is in a slightly lower tone, a thoughtful tone. Vegeta tries to take advantage of her slight distraction with a ki charged punch and kick, which she easily blocks, then backhands him hard across the face. His entire body spins with the blow, his mouth splattering blood as he goes. He turns his head back to her slowly slightly stunned, and somewhere in the back of his muddled mind, he is very thankful his head is still attached to his body.

She looks at him her expression dark, yet curious as though she is thinking over something. Then she speaks-her tone is harsh, but slightly understanding, "Obviously, you're daft, only, The Great Goddess, Shyelle knows how someone as dimwitted as you gained such power, but she doesn't look kindly on those who abuse the weak of mind, so I will say this once more, and only once more, Fool, Go home! Have you no keeper!"

NO ONE, AND I DO MEAN NO ONE IN ALL MY LIFE HAS EVER SPOKEN TO ME IN THAT WAY, AND NOT DIED THE VERY INSTANT THE WORDS FELL FROM THERE FILTHY LIPS, BUT FRIESA...FRIESA...THAT POMPOUS, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, SON OF A BITCH!!! Vegeta thinks to himself in pure unadulterated indignation. The disgrace of it all overwhelms his every sense as flashes of memories best left forgotten of Frieza floods his mind. Every spiteful act and word Frieza ever spoke to him comes flowing back in that instant, the current pain in his body, making the memories all the more real.

Vegeta you silly little monkey, when will you ever learn... Frieza's voice echoes in his mind, and in that moment, he realizes something, SHE'S JUST LIKE HIM!! TRYING TO SHOW ME MY PLACE!!! TRYING TO MAKE ME REALIZE SHE'S BETTER THAN ME!! IT'S ALL IN HER TONE, HER ATTACKS, NEVER ENOUGH TO KILL, OR DO ANY REAL DAMAGE!!! JUST ENOUGH TO SHOW ME, 'MY PLACE'!!! SHE'S HOLDING BACK BECAUSE SHE THINKS I'M LESS THAN HER!!!

With a scream of rage Vegeta attacks again, roaring, "BITCH, DON'T YOU DARE HOLD BACK ON ME!!!!" And just like before when she battled with Gohan, she doesn't try to land one blow, simply blocking his every swing and kick, driving Vegeta's fury to new heights. He uses a few more energy attacks but nothing major, because she stay so close on him, he barely has room to swing or kick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Wary to uses energy attacks, fearing the destruction of the city, Gohan stuck to hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, he is taking all of the damage, the Great Saiyaman helmet long destroyed. The male is relentless in his attack, and doesn't give Gohan any time to counter. Although, Gohan does get in a few hits they seem to do no damage. Finally, Gohan had enough, and with a surge of power, and a primal scream of rage, he blasts the male back.

"Why! Why are you doing this!" Gohan asks in a fury taking a sneak peek at Videl on the ground. She seems to be fairing much better, but he has the sickening feeling that the female below is just playing with her.

"We all must learn our place, boy. Today, you will learn yours. Just be glad it's me you're fighting." The male answers as the flurry a blows begin again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

"Why were you after my father?" Videl asks as she lands another hit.

"I'm sorry about that, but his mate should really teach him not to lie? I was inquiring about this world's strongest male fighter and he told me he was it. That wasn't the case." Tanvi answers with an apologetic tone in her voice, though her voice is still hard as she dodges a few blows. She then flips back, the tips of her feet, kicking Videl away a few feet.

Videl is getting tired now, but she keeps fighting, charging her opponent again, and asking, "Why? Why are you looking for this world's strongest male warrior?"

"I'm looking for a male of my species that dwells on this planet. He is what you would consider very strong." She answers as she throws a kick, and gets a punch, "Strong males flock together, at times; I thought he would know of him, but he told me some creature name Cell killed him. The creature he himself supposedly killed; however, that couldn't be the case, because the last time I sensed him, he was far stronger than your father. His name is Piccolo."

"Piccolo." Videl says in shock as she dodges an in coming kick. She remembers Gohan, talking about Piccolo. "What do you want with him?"

"You know of him." Tanvi says with a hint of surprise, then in a flash of speed she step back from her and using her powers stills Videl where she stands, lifting her into the air, "Tell me, how do you know of him? I'm here for him, not to fight with any of the other inhabitants of this planet."

Videl is perfectly aware she is out classed in this battle, but she had no idea that her opponent has been holding back so much. Her power unbeknown to Videl still isn't fully unleashed, not even 1% of her true power revealed, but it is awesome. Struggle as she might, she can't break free, in fact; the small motions she is making couldn't even be counted as a struggle.

"Speak girl! There is no need for this to continue. This is a fruitless battle, and the game is done. You are an honorable daughter, who would rush in to the face of death to protect her father. That is as it should be and I hold no malice against you for attacking me. So tell me, how do you know of Piccolo, and we will leave to seek counsel of them as to his where abouts; however, with all this fighting, I'm sure he's probably on his way here, even now as we speak." Tanvi says demandingly, but her tone calm.

Videl thinks on the matter and is unsure of what to do, If her present behavior is any indication of what she wants with him, I'll never tell. I've never met Piccolo, but he is Gohan's friend and I know if the She-Bitch asks him, he'll never tell her where he is which could get very messy and painful for Gohan. That's it! I'll never tell her how I know of him, Never! Videl's mind is made up and she stares defiantly at her. The look in Videl's eyes told Tanvi, she would by no means tell. Tanvi's lips slightly curve at the corners in a ghost of a smile, and thinks, I like this girl. She is very strong willed. If train properly, she be quite the warrior, nothing as great as a Namekian could be, but more than enough to give that boy up there a challenge. She then sends a telepathic message to her father, Ease up on the boy a bit father. I want him to be able to fly away from this. The last thing we need is an angry mother. We will be leaving shortly, but first I'm going to test this girl's willpower. She's very brave. I like her. Don't let the boy interfere.

As you wish, Tanvi. The male answers stopping his assault on Gohan and begins to simply block his every blow.

Tanvi's face then turns as cold as ice, using her power, she exerts a slight pressure over Videl's entire body. It increases with every passing moment-think aluminum-can in a vacuum, slowly, the outside pressure crushes the can from the inside out. Videl screams out with the agony, which is a big mistake, because now she can't pull any more air into her lungs. She feels herself blacking out, her heart rate slowing, and she thinks, This is it...this is the end of my life. Who would have ever thought...it would end this way...Gohan...I should have... The pressure is released and sweet oxygen rushes into her lungs. Her heart pounds with the sweet air and she takes mouths full of it. Then she feels it the pressure coming again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Videl's scream of agony rips through the air...

"VIDEL!! GOD, LEAVE HER A LONE SHE HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING!!" Gohan screams to the Namekian below as well as the one across from him in pure fury-his ki flaring a new. Then he remembered there weakness, sound. He takes in a deep breath and whistles as loud as possible. All three Namekians are visibly taken back by this. There faces contorting into an image of pain as there hands fly to there ears. Another whistle rips through the air just as loud as his own if not louder echoing his, presumingly made by Vegeta. Gohan takes this opportunity to give his opponent a ki charged punch to the stomach, then when he doubled over a kick to the head that would have killed any other creature alive. He quickly charges up for an energy attack, his hands taking there familiar cupped position at his side as he screams, "Kamehama--ha!!!!!!" He fires the wave full force into the Namekian's stomach.

The Namekian goes flying back in a golden stream of energy, and Gohan rushes to save Videl, but the male quickly intercepts him-his vest singed to dust and a large plate size bruise covering over half his stomach. He glares at Gohan, and says a bit of pained-anger in his voice, "That was a new vest, made by my Namekian brothers on New Namek. I'll probably not get a chance to get a new one for quite sometime." Gohan is stunned with disbelief, but then quickly whistles once more; however, the Namekian just stares irritably at him, then says, "This will all be over soon, boy. Save your breath, a little trick like that can only catch us off guard once in a battle." He then uses the Namekian ability to regenerate to heal the bruise on his stomach. Then there eyes turn to Vegeta's fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Gohan takes in a deep breath and whistles as loud as possible. Hita's hands fly to her ears her face contorting into one of pain then her head snaps back from Vegeta's fist slamming into it at full force. Then she quickly doubles over as she zooms through the air from a power kick to the stomach. Rapidly she begins to recover from the blows, and Vegeta whistles as loud as he can, slowing her recovery, then follows it up with a double-handed energy blast using all the power he can muster. He isn't thinking-the blast is so powerful that when it hits the ground, it will probably take out half the city and a little of its surrounding counties. Anybody with ki sensing abilities will be able to sense that. It hits her head on, but goes no further. With a brilliant flash a power, burning with purple fire, and a highest ki signature he'd ever felt, the blast is deflected to the heavens leaving a very pissed off Namekian female, a low growl emanating from her throat. Vegeta grits his teeth with awe, rage, and envy-her power level is unreal. It is ridiculous.

"This ends now, Fool!!" Hita says the anger clear in her voice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Gohan takes in a deep breath and whistles as loud as possible. Tanvi's hands fly to her ears her face contorting into one of pain. Another whistle rips through the air just as loud as his own if not louder echoing his, presumingly made by Vegeta. Tanvi quickly pulls herself together, irritated by the brief discomfort.

She speaks again this time her voice dangerously low with irritation, "Tell me, how do you know of him?" The pressure increases that old agony returning in full force, but this time Videl grits her teeth, trying not to cry out, and lose her precious oxygen. She thinks, Great! Just Great! She's going to torture me until I tell, but I've got to hold out for Gohan...for even Piccolo-Gohan's beloved teacher, the way he describes him, it's like he's a second father. I'LL NEVER TELL FOR GOHAN!!! Another scream passes her lips when she feels her ribs nap like twigs. Again, the lack of air begins to make her pass out, and again the pressure is lifted. Now Videl is just angry, she takes in a ragged breath and says, "Never. I will never tell you anything."

Hearing that Tanvi screams it this time, "TELL ME, GIRL, HOW DO YOU KNOW OF PICCOLO!!!"

"I TOLD HER, FOR GODS SAKES, WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HIM? ASK ME SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM!!!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!" Gohan screams as loud as possible. All actions stop at the ringing sound of Tanvi's voice ripping through the air, and everyone's eyes go to her then to Gohan when he yells his response.

"BE QUIET, BOY!!! DON'T TELL HER ANY..." Vegeta's scream of protest is stop flush when Hita bitch-slaps him across the face. She doesn't try to hit him her hardest, but at her current power level, it send him flying back a couple hundred feet.

"Do not interfere in what does not concern you!! Are you seeking death this day! Dimwitted or no you will learn your place!" Hita says strongly-her voice almost in a yell, powering down to her previous level. Vegeta recovering himself broils with rage, with the disgrace of it all. He screams with outrage, and is about to launch an energy attack, but Hita rushes him in a blink, and a flurry of blows ensues.

Tanvi looks away from the boy in the sky, and Hita's little scrimmage back to Videl. Without a word, she lowers Videl to the ground. Videl lays sprawled out on the platform floor and Tanvi kneels down to her helpless body, watching her struggle to breathe.

Gohan seeing this screams, "GET AWAY FROM HER AND COME TALK TO ME!!!" He tries to fly down to her, but the male cuts him off and there fight begins once more.

Tanvi smiles at the girl, not a smirk, or a simple curving of the corners of her lips, but a real smile. Videl concentrating on her breathing isn't looking at Tanvi, but straight up in the sky. She feels Tanvi hovering close to her and can only close her eyes in pain and terror, wondering what new torture the female has plan for her. She feels the female laying her hand on her broken rib cage and a soft pressure. She winces, but a cool feeling spreads across the burning pain in her entire body. She opens her eyes and finds herself covered in a yellow glow, breaths coming more easily with little pain.

She is healing me...but Why??? She thinks then turns quizzical eyes to Tanvi, and can't help, but to utter the word, "Why?" It is almost said in disbelief.

The yellow glow cease, and a smirk plays at Tanvi's lips, "You have honor. I respect that." She stands, "Don't worry, girl, your strength will increase. I won't be surprised if you tamed that boy up there one day." That said Tanvi shot to the sky. Videl tries to follow, but though Tanvi healed some of her wounds, she left her with just enough battle damage to keep her out of the fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Tanvi flies up to Vegeta and Hita's fight, stating simply, "This fight is over."

Her voice is calm, but commanding. Hita stops immediately, pushing Vegeta back a little with an energy burst.

"NO ONE TELLS ME WHEN MY FIGHT IS OVER, BITCH!!!" Vegeta growls out. Tanvi completely ignores him and begins talking to Hita in there native tongue. They both look to him briefly, Tanvi's eyes lingering on him longer than Hita as she looks him up and down. Tanvi speaks to Hita once more, and an all most shamed look comes across Hita's face. Vegeta tired of being ignored fires a powerful energy blast at them both at close range. Tanvi simply holds out a hand canceling it out. They both look at Vegeta irritably, and then Tanvi begins to speak in English once more.

"Well, I'm quite certain every fighter on this world with ki sensing abilities knows we're here from your loss of temper with him. There are several new power levels coming this way. I think one of them is him. Just like that boy his power has increase greatly, if that's even him at all." Tanvi says in a conversational tone then looks to Vegeta, "You were on Namek before its destruction, were you not? Your energy is familiar. It's much stronger since then. Though with your tendency to attack superior opponents, it's a wonder you've survived so long." Her eyes narrow as she says, "Oh and you really should learn not to refer to a lady as a four legged beast." In a blink, she phases behind Vegeta and slams him into the ground with a hit to the back of the neck. He makes a small crater, and struggles to rise.

They both fly over to Gohan and the male's battle.

"Fight's over," Tanvi says calmly as she and Hita float to the side of them. As soon as the words pass her lips, the male using his superior speed blinks out and reappears next to the two females. Gohan last punch swings through the air where the male once was. His eyes then centers on them.

"You are the alien child who fought on Namek, before its destruction." Tanvi asks casually. He doesn't answer, but stares at her defiantly. "Speak boy, surely there can be no harm in telling me that." Tanvi continues-her tone trying to calm the boy from his earlier fury. She's not angry at his defiance, thinking that the boy must be frighten with three fighters obviously stronger than himself staring him down, and asking him questions.

Gohan thinks it over and answers her with a gruff yes then says, "What do you want with Piccolo?"

Tanvi ignores his question and asks one of her own, "Has his strength improved as much as yours did?"

"I'm not telling you anything about Piccolo until you tell me what you want with him." Gohan answers strongly fully prepared for her to have the same reaction to his defiance as she did to Videl's.

"You are a fiery one, aren't you?" Tanvi says as she looks him up and down, she can feel his power level rise in response, "But I'll not be the one to tame that fire. I'll find out soon enough. Hita, can you feel that slightly familiar power coming this way?"

"Yes," She answers.

"I think that's him. We're done here." Tanvi says then in a blur all three are gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Vegeta finally regains himself and shoots back to the air just as the Namekians leave in a blur. He begins to go after them when he notices that Gohan is going toward the ground.

"What are you doing!! They'll be going after that Fool Namek next!" Vegeta says gruffly as be turns in the air to face Gohan.

"I know, but I have to check on Videl first. You go a head. She can't take as much damage as we can, Vegeta." Gohan says then turns away from him.

"Fine, do what you want, Boy! Just don't come crying to me when that Namek friend of yours is killed once again." Vegeta answers leaving Gohan in a burst of speed.
