Earth
A desolate wasteland
Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha had gradually arrived at the scene.
The four of them held their breath, their gazes fixed resolutely on the sky.
Though fear gnawed at their hearts, they knew they had no other choice. With Son Goku and the others gone, Earth was at its most vulnerable. They had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting it.
"Everyone, the enemy is approaching. Are you afraid?" Yamcha asked.
Krillin forced a smile so strained it was uglier than crying. "Heh, Yamcha," he replied, "when have I, Krillin, ever been afraid?"
"Speaking of which, where's Piccolo? Did he not come?" Krillin asked.
Suddenly, a white flash streaked across the sky, interrupting their conversation.
Immediately afterward, a spaceship identical to Frieza's emerged from a speck in the distance, gradually growing larger in their vision.
Behind it followed a dense swarm of spherical spaceships, crowding the skies.
The sheer scale of the armada quickly alerted the four to the gravity of the situation.
A single name flashed through their minds: Frieza?!
Only then did the four realize that this malevolent aura indeed bore a striking resemblance to Frieza's energy signature, yet it was even more sinister.
In an instant:
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds upon hundreds of spherical spaceships descended en masse onto the desolate wasteland.
Violent explosions kicked up plumes of dust, engulfing the entire wasteland.
Soon, one after another, Frieza's henchmen emerged from the smoke.
Upon spotting Krillin and the others, they swarmed toward them like rabid dogs.
The overwhelming darkness of the approaching horde pressed down on their spirits, stifling their courage.
Yamcha smirked. "Everyone! For some reason, I'm suddenly feeling... excited."
"These aliens remind me of when Vegeta first came to Earth and used the Saibamen. This time, I'm getting my revenge!"
With that, Yamcha shot into the sky, his hands forming claw-like shapes. In the next moment, his claws transformed into clenched fists.
He roared, "Wolf Fang Fist!!!"
This was Yamcha's signature technique, long dormant, which he finally unleashed once more.
The ferocious assault immediately carved a bloody path through the alien horde.
A moment later, he bellowed again, "Spirit Ball!!"
The lesser aliens were blasted away by Yamcha's explosive energy.
Not to be outdone, Krillin, witnessing Yamcha's momentum-building attack, couldn't restrain himself any longer.
He raised one hand overhead, conjuring a circular disc of concentrated energy. "Destructo Disc!!"
Krillin hurled the Destructo Disc, which ricocheted back and forth among the remaining enemies.
Simultaneously, Chiaotzu and Tien Shinhan launched a coordinated assault.
Tien Shinhan charged into the throng, pummeling each alien with his fists before tossing them into a heap.
Their overwhelming ease stemmed entirely from Chiaotzu's psychic ability, which paralyzed the aliens in place.
"Chiaotzu!!" Tien Shinhan roared.
"Got it, Brother Tien!" Chiaotzu replied, pointing his finger at the group of aliens huddled together.
"Dodon Ray!!!"
Like skewered kebabs, the energy beam pierced through the gathered aliens, killing them instantly.
The four friends, having fought together for years, moved with perfect synergy, their teamwork seamless.
But the sheer number of aliens was overwhelming. More and more of the creatures descended from the sky, their numbers relentless.
Just then, an elderly figure suddenly appeared behind the group, followed by a young child.
Pan and Master Roshi had joined the battle.
Though seemingly frail, the old man's withered frame suddenly bulged with powerful muscles.
"Kamehameha!!!!" Master Roshi's voice boomed from behind the group.
Upon seeing the figures, the four warriors exclaimed in unison, "Master Roshi! And Pan too?!"
Pan giggled in response, "Hehe, Grandpa Roshi! I'm joining the fight too!"
Master Roshi cleared his throat and began issuing orders to the other four: "Disciples! Follow me!"
All four were Master Roshi's disciples. Seeing their master join the battle immediately boosted their morale.
Four Kamehameha waves erupted from their hands, merging into a single, devastating blast alongside Master Roshi's own.
The combined Kamehameha, fueled by the power of all five, swept across the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path.
At that moment, Pan revealed her extraordinary combat talent. A Demonic Flash shot from her palm, adding its power to the combined assault.
The combined attacks completely annihilated the alien forces raining down from the sky, as well as those still trapped within their spherical spaceships.
All the minor henchmen had been eliminated.
The five warriors turned their gazes toward the spaceship.
Hiss, ! The sound of steam escaping as the hatch opened filled the air.
Their eyes froze in unison.
The figure emerging bore an uncanny resemblance to Frieza.
Krillin's mind flashed back to the moment he was killed by Frieza, and he involuntarily took a step back.
At first glance, this creature seemed almost identical to Frieza, yet subtle differences remained.
The most striking distinction was his height, followed by the distinctive spots on his body.
BabyAize strolled leisurely from the spaceship, addressing the group:
"This is quite unexpected. I never imagined Earthlings possessed such strength."
"However, you are not my target. Where are the Saiyans? I intend to slaughter them all and make you my subjects."
Upon hearing BabyAize's plan, the group's eyes hardened once more.
Out of the corner of their eyes, the warriors glanced at Pan, now realizing that her joining the battle might not have been a good idea.
"Pan, stay back!" Krillin warned, his guard up.
Just then, BabyAize's expression shifted, as if he had detected a nauseating aura emanating from Pan.
After a second verification, he was certain: Saiyan blood flowed through her veins.
His eyes narrowed, and he slightly raised his hand.
That small movement was all it took for Krillin to react.
"Pan!! No!! Run!!!"
His earth-shattering roar propelled him toward Pan like a madman.
Pan froze, her eyes wide with confusion, utterly bewildered by the sudden chaos.
Fortunately, Krillin managed to shield her just in time.
Just then, Tien Shinhan's desperate cry rang out from above: "Krillin! Get Pan out of here, now!!"
Tien Shinhan formed a triangular shape with his fingers, aiming at BabyAize. "Neo Tri-Beam (Shin Kikōhō)!!!"
At that moment, Tien Shinhan was risking his life to protect Pan.
He had indeed restrained BabyAize's movements, but the effect was minimal. BabyAize still managed to raise his hand.
"Heh, I was right after all. This child is a Saiyan."
Just as he was about to execute Pan, the sky suddenly darkened.
His attention was immediately diverted.
The scene was undeniably eerie. After all, he could kill the person before him with a mere flick of his finger, so the execution could wait.
Curiosity compelled BabyAize to glance upward.
What he saw made him freeze in shock.
A colossal crimson Eastern dragon loomed majestically in the sky.
