Rikku felt on edge standing on the sidelines. She let Gohan and Krillen take the first fight against Guildo. Combining their power they were so much stronger than the short four-eyed Ginyu member. However, Guildo's time freeze ability gave him an edge and allowed him to stay one step ahead of them.

Vegeta, on the other hand, was a bit disgruntled. He hadn't realized the extene change in the Earthlings power. How had that happened? The two of them were weak whimpering puppies when he fought them on Earth and now they seemed to possess a new found strength able to bring out mind blowing attacks that left Guildo running on his toes.

"Those little pipsqueaks are tougher than I thought." Reccome commented watching the fight. Burter clicked on his scanner and let out a whistle.

"I don't believe it. Those two are able to manipulate their power levels. This should be interesting."

"What's going on here Karat?" He murmured to Rikku the two of them standing shoulder to shoulder watching the fight. "Those two are getting stronger and stronger without any special training."

"What can I say we Earthlings are a resilient sort." Rikku had read Krillen's mind in order to get the gist of what had happened. She knew exactly what Guru had done to help and it made her smile wide and proud.

"Kamehameha!"

"Masenko... HA!"

The cry of their attacks was as furious as their blow. Guildo was left to dance and dodge. To say the least Rikku was disappointed in his performance. From the way Vegeta had worried over the Ginyu force she was expecting more of a challenge. If this kept up Krillen and Gohan would rid themselves of Guildo's presence. "Guildo better surrender if he wants to survive. His only card trick is his time freeze and it's doing little to slow the boys down."

"I would agree with you if it wasn't ffor the fact I know scaly there. Trust me he'll pull out all the stops to save his hide."

Why did he have to be right? Her throat tightened at the sight of Guildo freezing Krillen and Gohan in place.

"I can't move!" Gohan grunted through his teeth his body trembling and trying to break whatever hold Guildo had on him.

"They should know better than to attack head on." Vegeta snarled.

"Guess Piccolo and Kami skipped that in their training session." Rikku fidgeted nervously not liking the scenario she saw. Guildo levitated a tree and broke it apart until it pointed in a stake.

"We have to do something!"

"Stay put." Vegeta ensured resting his hand on her shoulder. "I'll handle this."

Krillen eyed the stake with horror in his eyes. They were about to bite the big one. "Oh no! This isn't good!" He glanced in Rikku's direction. She hadn't moved but the fear in her eyes were apparent. What was she waiting for, a written invitation?

"I have to break free." Gohan grunted. "I can't disappoint Piccolo. I can't disappoint Mom." He too looked in her direction. His mother didn't move. She must have faith that they could get out of this mess. There had to be a way. 'Think Gohan Think!'

He screamed as the spear of wood headed right for him. He closed his eyes waiting for impact. Suddenly his limbs loosened and he veered away quick just as the stake would pierce him. "What the-" Krillen stuttered his limbs free as well. He looked to Guildo and gasped in sick horror. The little green dude had been incapacitated by none other than Vegeta.

"Well," Vegeta laughed. "I guess you weren't so tough after all. It's time to send you to the next dimension."

"Vegeta hold on!" Rikku pleaded and her eyes widened as Guildo's body went up in a blast of fire and smoke. He hadn't needed to go that far. She winced and turned her eyes away. She was grateful that he saved her son and friend, but killing never sat well with Rikku.
