Episode 26:

FOR ONE AND ALL: THE REASON WHY WE FIGHT

With a fierce yell, Berrie's aura surged and she dashed forward with a powerful punch but Piccolo did not even flinch. Easing off, she came in with a flurry of fast-paced attacks but the result was the same. With a smirk, Piccolo released an uppercut that forced her to fall at the feet of the other saiyans.

Frowning, she quickly recovered and darted towards the sky. Soon, her silhouette disappeared amongst the clouds and it might have seemed as though she was trying to escape. However, seconds later she was crashing down like a torpedo aimed directly at Piccolo. A strong gush of wind was emitted and the two opponents were lost behind the thick mass as a large crater formed beneath them.

Using his hand as aid to block the incoming debris, Hendo could not help but to growl in frustration when the winds finally settled. Berrie was clearly drained, each breath she took resulted in a harsh crescendo.

"This is an absolute waste of my time - I'm out of here!" Hendo proclaimed. In awesome speed, a golden trail of light was left behind where he once stood.

"Oh my!"

The other saiyans were alerted by a loud shriek and they eyed Yu-Natto with questioning glares as she ran towards the fighters. Piccolo's eyes widened when he realised what had just happened. Yu-Natto held him by the ankle and lifted him with ease, swinging him from side to side as though he were a meaningless object. She was busily brushing through the dirt with her free hand and kept on mumbling to herself.

"Eee!" she wailed excitedly as she made a grab for something she spotted and thus threw Piccolo to one side. He landed on his head, wearing a confused look as he watched the woman's next move.

Yu-Natto was lovingly caressing a long, brown tail as she rubbed it against her face, "Oh my! Oh my! You're still beautiful even when we're apart!"

She raised the tail and showed it off to the others, "Hey, guys - you think infirmary could still attach this back on? I mean, it still looks alive, right?"

Seemingly in response, the tail wiggled spontaneously. Yu-Natto could not believe her eyes and she had to blink several times to finally accept that what she saw was indeed real.

"Yeah!" she yelled, jumping up and down, "Hey, Hendo - wait for me!" And with that she dashed off.

Throughout the entire display, Berrie had been eyeing Yu-Natto with a vicious frown on her face. Finally, she returned her attention back to Piccolo who was already standing, having recovered from the throw.

"I can't believe that idiot made me realise something," she shared as she finally settled into a more relaxed pose, her breathing back to normal, "You're hiding power - like the Mezorans do to avoid a complete drain of their energy. No normal person should have survived that crash even from a looney like her, even if it was done without any motivation whatsoever. So how strong are you really? And most importantly, what really is your business here on Mezora, Namekian?"

"I'll tell you that when I've finished kicking your a..." Piccolo declared but he was interrupted by a powerful fist that sent him flying back. He looked up in awe at the golden length of the girl's hair. She had transformed effortlessly to a super saiyan 3.

"As you were saying," she spat.

Piccolo growled as he tried to get to his feet but she continued to plummet him with blows too quick to follow. Eventually, he finally found his rhythm in the battle and managed to dish out well-served and well-timed hits. At one point, he achieved the upperhand and it seemed like victory was in his favour until Berrie's aura surged once more.
