Ryu was currently having a slight mental panic that went on outside.

Ryu: Of all the people why did it have to be him?!

Erica: Calm down. He was weak in the movie.

Azure: This is Authors story! He'll at least be twice as strong as nappa!!

Tarble: So, these the are the plants greatest fighters? Color me unimpressed.

Krillin: Things just got worse! So much worse!!

Piccolo: If it wasn't bad enough that 2 Power house Saiyans were here, now we've got one that puts the big guy to shame.

Tarble (Holding Back) Power Level: 10000.

Azure: Oh great he still has power in reserves when he's this strong already.

Vegeta: Nappa, Tarble, you two deal with them.

Tarble: Am I really necessary?

Vegeta: Just do it.

Tarble: Fine. This better not be a waste of my time.

They both stepped up.

Tarble: Nappa, I take the three kids, you deal with the rest.

Nappa: Quite hogging the fun for yourself. At least let me get one.

Tarble: I had to bail on a mission for this, I'm getting a stretch in.

Nappa: Now I guess I'll start with... YOU PIPSQUEAK!!

Nappa (Holding Back) Power Level: 4000.

He rushed at Krillin but Piccolo got in front.

Piccolo: Not so fast!

Piccolo (Full Power) Power Level: 4500

He swiped his hand creating a Ki Wave sent him flying right past Tarble who didn't even flinch.

Piccolo Ki Wave Power Level: 5400.

Nappa stopped mid air and smirked.

Nappa: That actually hurt a bit. Not bad Namekian. This is getting interesting. HAAAAAAAA!!!!

Nappa started to power up and the ground beneath them started to shake. He glowed in a yellow electric aura.

Nappa (Powered Up) Power Level: 5500.

Tarble: Lets see what you kids got. AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Tarble powered up as well making the ground shake even more. Winds started to blow all the Z-Fighters back.

Tarble (Powered Up) Power Level: 12000

Ryu: Shoot, guess we need to power up too!

Shojo: You'd be dead seven times over.

Ryu: Now you decide to talk.

Shojo: Hey, I'm not gonna ruin it. I'm not really able to do anything anyway.

Ryu: HAAAAAAAA!!!!

Ryu started to power up.

Azure: 'Ya know usually I would question the screaming, but it's just right in Dragon Ball.'

Azure Screamed as well following Erica. Vegeta and Tarble turned on their scouters and read the numbers.

Ryu (Full Power) Power Level: 5400.

Azure (Full Power) Power Level: 5200.

Erica (Full Power) Power Level: 5000.

Tarble: Oh? You all sure seem to have quite a bit of power in you.

Vegeta: Careful Tarble. You could loose you own head if your not cautious.

Ryu took the initiative and rushed at Tarble. I tried to go for a right hook but it was easily dodged and countered with a gut punch that made him spit out blood and go flying back. Azure and Erica flew over him and started to attack Tarble with a flurry of punches and kicks. He easily blacked them with one hand not needing the the other. He kneed Azure in the stomach stopping him dead in his tracks before kicking him away. Erica went afar and shot a Ki Beam at him.

Erica Ki Beam Power Level: 6000.

Tarble backhanded the beam away and went right behind her to hit her with a Ki Blast.

Tarble Ki Blast Power Level: 13,200.

It hit her full on and he was sent flying to were Ryu and Azure were. Ryu got right back up and went charging straight to him and started to attack Tarble none stop with him matching his blows.

Azure: Woah. It's crazy that he just went straight back in.

Erica: Well I'm not gonna be sitting here doing nothing.

Erica flew right back in followed by Azure. The two were still struggling to get a grasp of Tarble's movements while Ryu was starting to adjust.

Azure: Hey, is it me, or is Ryu moving faster and faster?

Erica: Yeah, it's weird.

Vegeta: Wha- His power level is rising. Could it be that he's learning as he fights?

Ryu (Adapting to Tarble) Power Level: 6480.

Ryu finally slipped past Tarble's guard and nailed him with a punch to the face sending him back.

Tarble: Hmm. To adapt so quickly while your fighting me of all people, I dare say your something special.

Ryu: If it was earlier in the fight, I might've been able to get something else off if I tried at the start of the fight.

Tarble: What was that?

Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky.

Ryu: Ohhh crap.

They all looked up in the sky to see that Nappa was still there while Chiaotzu was nowhere to be found. And before that went on, Tien lost his arm.

Tarble: He's dead

Nappa (Full Power) Power Level: 6500.

Tien: CHIAOTZU!!!!

Tarble: Well he's dead.

Krillin: Oh my God...

Piccolo: Sacrificing himself to kill the Saiyan. A bit extreme but it got results.

Erica: Sense his energy!

The dust cleared and Nappa was unscathed from Chiaotzu's self destruction.

Nappa: Ah Damn it he self destruct. I hate it when they do that.

Ryu: 'That's another person I could've saved... DAMNIT!'

Tarble: Where you looking kid?

Tarble tried to attack Ryu but somehow Ryu caught his fist and punched him in the face.

Erica: Wait what?

Azure: How the hell?

Ryu: How the hell wha-

Tarble nailed Ryu with a straight punch sending him back.

Ryu's No seriously what do you mean?

Shojo: You really didn't notice how you punched Tarble in the face after catching his punch?

Ryu: I did?

Azure: You know what whatever.

While that was going on Tien was being thoroughly beaten by Nappa. Ryu kept getting distracted until Piccolo Krillin and Gohan jumped into help.

Ryu: Alright that's better.

Tarble: Finally your head is actually in the game. This wouldn't be enjoyable if you didn't at least try.

Ryu: So you want my head to be in the game huh? Fine. HAAAAAA!!!

Ryu's energy started to rise shocking Azure and Erica.

Azure: Wh- What is he doing?!

Erica: I don't know but his strength is going up like crazy from it!

While this was going on, Tien was charging up an attack at Nappa while he was distracted.

Tien: Take this! KI KO HO!!!

Tien Pissed Tri Beam Power Level: 6400

The attack hit Nappa damaging him slightly but not killing him.

Nappa: Ow, that one had a little kick to it. But still pointless.

Nappa (Damaged) Power Level: 6000

As he saw this Ryu got angrier as he kept screaming until he was surrounded in a crimson Aura.

Tarble: What in the world?!

Ryu: This isn't complete yet, but let me introduce you to my own technique. I call it my Crimson Fist.

Table checked the reading on his scouter before his eyes widened.

Tarble: It's over 8000!

He took off his scouter and crushed it in his hands.

Ryu (Crimson Fist) Power Level: 8100.

Nappa: What 8000?! You've gotta be kidding! Cut it!

Ryu: Come on Goku, we cant hold them off forever!

Vegeta: Hmm? Goku?

In a shocking speed, Ryu flew over to Tarble and landed a straight punched to his face. This caught Tarble off guard and he was actually sent back by the attack. Ryu flew right under Tarble and firmly planted his feet into his back sending him upwards.

Ryu: Stardust Cannon!!!

Ryu CF Stardust Cannon: 12150

He shot a massive blast towards the Saiyan hitting him dead on. The Crimson glow faded from his body as he landed on the ground.

Ryu: *Pant* Pant* How'd you like?

Azure: What the hell? What did he just do?

Erica: I don't know but it's not like anything I've ever seen.

The smoke cleared to show Tarble who was slightly damaged.

Tarble: Not bad kid, you actually managed to hurt me a bit.

Ryu: Are you kidding me?!

Tarble (Hurt Less Suppressed): 15000.

Krillin: This can't be real! Ryu used so much force in that blast and he just shrugged it off like it was nothing!

Piccolo: He showed a power that none of us could match, but it was just minor damage to him. So this is the power of a Saiyan.

Gohan: W-We're all gonna die!

Nappa: Hahahaha! Ok so that's three if yours dead, you should consider fighting back soon!

Ryu: Uh, Azure, Erica, you saw how I just used that attack right?

Azure: Yeaaaah...

Erica: And what about it?

Ryu: Well~ I'm kinda tapped out at the moment.

Ryu (Post Crimson Fist) Power Level: 4600.

Azure: That is not good.

Erica: Great now we need to watch over him during this.

Tarble: Anyway what was that name you said earlier? Goku?

Nappa was about to attack Piccolo Krillin before he was interrupted by a shout.

Tarble: NAPPA STOP RIGHT THERE!

He stopped in mid air and turned to Tarble.

Nappa: Hey why'd you stop me? Let me at em!

Vegeta: How many times do I have to tell you to be patient? We both want questions first. This Goku you keep babbling about, he's Kakarot isn't he?

Tarble began snickering hearing that.

Tarble: That guys your last hope? Some Low Class Scum is gonna be your savior?

Krillin: Don't call him that his name is Goku!

Vegeta: Hahahahaha!! To think that Kakarot is your only hope. He died fighting Raditz and he wasn't even half the fighter Nappa is. And what chance do you think he has against Tarble, who's actually equal in power to me?!

Ryu: Believe me when I say that he may very well be stronger than I am.

Krillin: Your both dead meat when he gets here!

Piccolo: That right, you shouldn't underestimate him.

Nappa: Oh really? I might believe you if he wasn't to scared to scare to show his face.

Erica: You say that but he'll scramble yours once he gets here.

Nappa: What did you say you little brat?!

Azure: You heard what she said.

Vegeta: Alright then. He gets 3 hours.

Tarble: No more than that though. After that I'm killing you all.

Nappa: Screw waiting! Your all mine!!

Nappa tried to attack the others but was stopped by a shout from Vegeta.

Vegeta: NAPPA! ARE YOU DISOBEYING A DIRECT ORDER?!!

He stopped straight in the air terrified.

Nappa: S-Sorry Vegeta, I wasn't thinking.

Tarble: Well that "Goku" hasn't saved you but he brought you more time to pray.

Nappa: And now we wait.

Literally 30 seconds later.

Nappa: Is he here yet?

Z-Fighters: No.

Nappa: Is he here yet?

Z-Fighters (Kinda Annoyed): No.

Nappa: Is he here yet?

Z-Fighters (Rather Annoyed): NO!

Nappa: Is he here yet?

Z-Fighters (Really Annoyed): NOO!!

There was silence for about a good 4 seconds.

Nappa: ...Is he here ye-

Z-Fighters+Vegeta&Tarble (Very Pissed): NOOO!!!!

Tarble: God Damn it Nappa, just go do something!!

Vegeta: Go have fun, I don't care how.

Time Skip!

Azure: Alright Ryu, you wanna explain what the absolute hell that was?

Ryu: I mean do I want to, not really. Do I have to, yes.

Erica: Just spill it idiot.

Piccolo: That technique is completely different from the one we saw a few weeks ago.

Gohan: Yeah, you didn't go nuts.

Ryu: Well for starters I call it my Crimson Fist Technique. It's one I trained in the night with while you both were resting. It lets me fight with pretty good boost to my strength speed defense and everything else. I only figured out how to use it 4 days before the Saiyans came.

Krillin: You mean you had that ace in the whole the entire time?!

Ryu: Yeah, pretty much.

Azure: Not going all in from the start has never been your best quality but I should smack you upside the head for that.

Krillin: Ryu why do you tease us? If you had such an amazing technique to begin with why didn't you use it from the start?

Ryu: It wasn't an option. It might not look like it, but this technique is only in its beginning stages. It uses way to much energy as it is and with an attack as big as the one you saw before, it's a pretty big dent in my reserves.

Krillin: Really?

Ryu: Mhm.

Azure: Okay so that covers that, what about the other power you talked about?

Ryu: Long and short of it, it boost my powers up to 10x and makes me go berserk in literally no time at all.

Erica: Wait a damn minute that's-

Krillin: Ok then so how are we gonna beat these guys?

Ryu: Well if the worse comes to worse, I could use that form, but I'm just gonna tell you now, when my eyes change color, Run.

Piccolo: We can go after the brutes only weak spots, their tails.

Erica: Yeah not gonna work.

Piccolo: What?

Ryu: Their tails can't be squeezed for them to loose their power. If it didn't work on me, than it DEFINITELY won't work on them.

There was brief silence before they all started sweating.

Azure: Well there's only one thing we can do.

Krillin: And what would that be?!

Ryu: Hit then with everything we've got and hope that they get hurt.

Another silence came around with a tumbleweed.

Piccolo: Sadly that's probably the only option we have.

Krillin: Your just like Goku.

Hearing those words Ryu inwardly jumped for joy.

Azure: But seriously Ryu how did you even figure out how to do something like that by yourself?

Ryu: How did you guys manage to create new attacks for yourselves?

Erica: ... Touché.

Ryu: By the way we only have 2 hours left.

Azure: What?! An hour passed already?!

Ryu: This is Dragon Ball Azure, just don't question it.

Time Skip!

Vegeta: Alright 3 hours is up.

Tarble: Time to die.

Tarble stood up from the rock he was sitting cracking his neck.

Piccolo: Soooo where's your friend?

Nappa: I'm back.

Piccolo nearly got hit in the head if it weren't for Erica pulling him out of the way. They all flew away from the Giant Saiyan and landed about 30 feat away.

Erica: Ok from now on we keep our guards up all the time.

Piccolo: Noted.

Nappa: Ahhh I was so close to knocking him out. Oh well, I guess he has to see what I'm about to do to you 2.

Ryu: Guys, remember the plan.

Azure: Yeah.

Erica: Right.
