Magis Quam Erat - A Dragon Ball Z Fanfiction

Chapter Two: Rubble Trouble

"A game? What twisted people are you? This is a battlefield!" The tall, green man says.

"Be quiet, slug! There are six of you, and six of our Saibamen," Kuri smirks, "I assume I don't need to tell you any more?"

After a moment of what seems like infighting, an Earthling steps forward, "I'll fight first,"

"That's the spirit!" Kuri says, "You, go fight him." She orders the Saibaman closest to the triclops. They fight for a few minutes, before the Saibamen is sent flying into a rockface.

"You have failed," Vegeta says, blowing up the Saibaman, "If you five hold back, you will suffer the same fate."

"I'll fight next," Another Earthling steps forward.

"You, fight," Kuri says, pointing to another Saibaman. The two fight for a moment, and it seems somewhat like the Earthling has the upper hand.

Suddenly the Saibaman vanishes, "Looks like I did it!" He cheers, believing himself to be the victor until the Saibaman reappears behind him and grabs him. Kuri smirks as the Saibaman detonates, taking the Earthling with him.

"Y-You heartless bastards!" One of the short Earthlings shout in anger. He raises his hands up into the air, and a yellow spark of lightning gathers at his palms, "Stay away!" He yells, turned to his friends.

Vegeta points at one of the Saibamen, "You, forward," The green creature drops to all fours and sprints towards the Earthling, who points his palms towards the monstrous thing. Said Earthling fires a yellow beam from his palms towards the Saibamen and the Saiyans. The Saibamen seem to panic, and they all dive into the air. At the last moment, the beam shoots upwards, and scatters into seven beams different beams, aimed for the separate Saibamen and the Saiyans. To the Saiyans, it's nothing but a smoke show with sparklers. As the smoke clears, the Earthlings realise their main opponents were still standing.

"Tch. You got dust in my hair," Kuri scowls. Her hair is put up in a ponytail, with a few strong bangs at the front.

"They seem to like fireworks. Maybe we should give a display of our own," Vegeta says, as the dust clears.

"I'll happily do so, Vegeta," Nappa says. He steps forward, and drops into his fighting stance. Kuri smirks; no matter what way this goes, she'll be happy with the outcome.

"Say, doesn't that green one look like a Namekian?" She says, turning to Vegeta.

"Which implies that they are the ones that made the wish orbs, and not the Earthlings," She lies down on a rock, and starts watching the clouds out of boredom. Nappa fights boringly to her; too basic and brutish. She traces out the clouds in her mind while waiting for either Nappa to win or for the Earthlings to defeat the brutish Saiyan. Vegeta watches her in the corner of his eye, with an innate curiosity wondering what she was up to.

A large thud wakes Kuri up; she must've fallen asleep while waiting. She sits up and notices an angry Nappa looking towards the bald man from before.

"You've done it now! You cut my beautiful face!" Nappa shouts. Kuri giggles quietly; the last thing she thought she would hear is Nappa being described as beautiful. Vegeta smiles apon hearing her giggling, although only to himself.

"T-That power! It's Goku!" The Namek remarks.

"What are you barking about? How could you sense powers?" Nappa questions.

"Hmph. He's strong enough to take you all on at once, now," The Namek smirks. Kuri looks for the power on her scouter; 7,921. That could deal with Nappa but she is far stronger than the approaching power.
