Chapter 8: The Long Awaited Fight

Kakarot arose again, he checked his scouter. "My power has grown, and so has the Earthlings." Just then a fifth bleep appeared in the distance, "Wait, another one, it's nearly as strong as mine." A smile broke across his face. "This is going to be interesting. I better find a location for this fight." Kakarot flew up into the air, and turned his head a little to the left. "I think there's a plain over there…it'll be perfect for our battle!" Kakarot shifted his body in the direction of the future battlefield, and blasted towards it.

"That's Kakarot's power level," Yamcha stated as the group flew over the small patch of woods. "He's relocating the battlefield!"

"Probably for his advantage," Tien said coldly. "We'll have to be careful; this isn't going to be easy, even with our training!" Tien turned his head back to Chiaotzu, "Are you sure you'll be okay?" Chiaotzu nodded his head; Tien looked back in front of him. "Alright, let's finish this."

The Z Senshi was getting closer to the plains, when they noticed Kakarot standing out in the open, waiting for their arrival. "Look, there he is!" Krillin shouted. All four of them landed in front of the Saiyan warrior.

"I'm glade you could make it," Kakarot said with a smile. "Ah, I see you brought the whole group this time. Like that'll make a difference!" Kakarot's smile turned to that of great distaste. "I'll make sure you all will get a proper funeral!"

"Shut up," Tien yelled, "If you want to fight us so bad…then do it and stop talking!" Tien dashed towards the Saiyan, and vanished before reaching him. Kakarot searched the land around him, but without warning, Tien kneed the Saiyan in the back, knocking him towards the ground.

Kakarot moved his hands forward and broke the fall, he jerked his head back in time to see Tien's fist crashing down into his back. The Saiyan's body was forced into the grassy ground. Not wasting anytime, Tien pulled his leg back, and snapped it forward, kicking Kakarot into the air.

Seeing an open opportunity, Krillin jumped into the air at full power, and crashed into Kakarot's stomach with his head. The Saiyan let out a roar of pain, as Krillin drifted away, his palms cuffed and outstretched, he slowly started to gather energy in them, "KA…" the energy grew intense, "…ME…" he located his target, "…HA…ME…" and as he forced the energy into a beam, he shouted, "…HA!" The energy cut through the air swiftly, heading straight to its target, the energy crashed hard into Kakarot's back, jolting the Saiyan's body into the air, the beam pushed him away from the group below.

"Awesome move Krillin!" Yamcha shouted as he ran over to his buddy.

"Thanks," Krillin turned red from the complement, but his face quickly turned serious as he sensed Kakarot's power level growing. "Damn, it was strong enough!"

"What—but that can't be!" Yamcha looked up into the air, were Krillin's attacked pushed the Saiyan's body away. A giant sphere of energy started to get larger and larger, as it came closer and closer to the Z Senshi. "There he is!" The energy crashed into the ground and knocked the Z Senshi off their feet.

"You will pay for that!" Kakarot rushed at Krillin and kneed him in the gut, and then bashed the Earthling in the head with his fist. Krillin's body drifted in the air, until Kakarot grabbed a hold of his foot and slammed him into the ground. "How does that feel!" Kakarot chuckled at the worthless display of energy in front of him.

Tien rammed the Saiyan in the back. "Get off him!" Tien started to throw rapid punches at the Saiyan. "I'll make you pay for what you've done!" Tien kneed Kakarot in the side, and grabbed the Saiyan's hair, and slammed Kakarot's head into his knee. Blood poured out of the Saiyan's nose as he drifted backwards; Krillin appeared out of nowhere and slammed into Kakarot's back.

"Come on Chiaotzu," Yamcha yelled. "Let's help them!" Yamcha and Chiaotzu flew into the battle and started to help Tien and Krillin. Kakarot got up from the double assault of Krillin and Tien, and kneed Yamcha in the face, and smashed Chiaotzu's face with his face. But Kakarot turned his back on the other two, which both slammed into him at full force.

"How did all of you get so strong?" Kakarot yelled as Yamcha punched him in the face.

"It's time that I showed you my Roga Fuu Fuu Ken," Yamcha yelled as he strung together an almost endless combo on Kakarot, a combo which he put many years of practice in. At the very end of the combo, the very well rehearse combo, Yamcha brought both fist down in an 'X' formation, and as the crossed across Kakarot, Yamcha let out a yell, that sounded like a wolf howl.

Kakarot hit the ground hard; he slowly rose from the ground, as he did so he let out a soft chuckle. "This is great; this is the fight that I've been looking for!" Kakarot stood straight up. "I love every bit of this!" Kakarot wiped away some blood from the corner of his mouth. "You earthlings are something else, but sadly our time together must come to a—a—No, no, it can't be him." The device on the side of Kakarot's face started to shrill with loud beeps.

"What is your problem?" Tien said through large gasps of air, him and Krillin looked terrible, they had put a lot of energy in this fight, and where now barely able to stand up straight! But before Kakarot could reply, a large sphere covered in flame erupted across the sky and crashed into the ground right in front of them. "What is that?" Just as Tien finished, the sphere opened up and out stepped a tall man, with long black hair, trailing down to his feet.

The man moved forward, he wore the same type of battle armor that Kakarot wore; he also had a tail wrapped around his waist. "Well, brother, it's nice to see that you're alive!" The man's lips curled into a devilish smile.
