"Attention everyone, attention. The Galaxy Line is now arriving. Repeat, the Galaxy Line is now arriving. Please stay behind the white line."
Nappa swung his head towards the sky as some sort of train seemed to appear out of nowhere. Yamcha was busy with his Saibamen as the train approached, a white dotted line appearing on the ground to separate both sides.
"You guys already had your chance to call reinforcements. I ain't letting more in!" Nappa raised a hand and blasted the train. It smoked and veered as a young woman leaped from the smoldering wreckage to the ground as the white line vanished.
She coughed as she dusted off her white uniform and glared daggers at Nappa. "Well, now I know who the good guys and the bad guys are." She looked back to the Z Fighters and gave a smile. "I hope you guys don't mind a little extra help, but this asshole just blew up my ride. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fix a space train?"
Krillin just smiled and gave a thumbs up, laughing. "The more, the merrier!"
Nappa tapped his scouter and then gave a wicked smile. "Your power level is 103. You're laughable. You can't even scratch my Saibamen, who are as strong as Raditz at 1200."
The girl just gave a dismissive laugh. "None of that made a lick of sense." She smirked and took out what looked to be some sort of handheld device as well as a small toy train. "But where I come from, we have ways of closing power gaps. ToQ Change!"
"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! ToQ Cross is now transforming! Repeat, ToQ Cross is now transforming. Please stay behind the white line."
A new set of white lines appeared, dividing the group, and the train flew around the figure, forming some strange white and pink suit before making its final announcement as the suit fully formed.
"ToQ Cross Wildcat has arrived! Repeat, ToQ Cross Wildcat has arrived."
Nappa tapped his scouter again as Vegeta just scoffed in disbelief at the figure in white spandex. That figure was now decimating the Saibamen like paper. This got Vegeta's interest. "Nappa, what does the scouter say about her power level?"
Nappa was speechless. "It's over 8—no, 9000 and still growing."
Vegeta gasped in shock. "What? 9000? That's impossible!" As he scanned her himself, he saw that she had broken 20,000. This form was more powerful than him!
"Nappa, have the Saibamen finish this now!"
As the Z Fighters slipped in to help, a trio of Saibamen latched onto the figure in white, glowed for a moment, then exploded. Cross coughed, her suit glowing as it vanished, and she dropped to her knee.
"Damn, those kamikaze bots hit hard."
Krillin was quick to bark orders. "Don't let these things grab you!"
Yamcha dashed over to pick up Cross and pull her back from the front line. His nerves got the better of him as he coughed and tried to thank her. "If it wasn't for you, that could have ended badly for me."
She smiled. "All part of the job, right? Earth's defenders and all that."
Yamcha laughed. "Y-yeah."
He dashed back in to help as the Saibamen were cleared out. Vegeta glared at Nappa. "Well, get in there and finish things. Do I have to do everything?"
Nappa smiled and charged in, only to be blocked by the arrival of Goku.
"I'll give you one chance to turn away now and never return."
Nappa grinned. "Nah, I'm having too much fun killing you weaklings."
Vegeta still hadn't moved but was watching Cross. 'That power suit, if I could harness it...'
Goku then engaged Nappa. He had the advantage, and Nappa was quickly being outclassed as the others gathered around Cross.
"So you're the Saiyan from Earth in Raditz's report," Vegeta was done with watching and, with a simple gesture, a beam pierced Nappa's chest. "Come with me and I'll let the others live."
"You killed your own man, w-why?" Krillin demanded.
"He had been holding me back for years. But you, Kakarot, and the girl from space. Come with me and I'll let the others live."
"I'm not going anywhere with you," Cross hissed as she tried to stand.
"Neither am I," Goku answered.
Goku charged Vegeta, but Goku was no match. The Kamehameha and Kaioken closed the gap a bit, until Vegeta unwrapped his tail from around his waist. "I see you removed your tail. It's a pity, it might have let you win."
"I removed it for good reason. That form is out of control."
"Perhaps," Vegeta laughed as he shot a ball into the air and began to grow. "For a low-class Saiyan like you, Kakarot."
Cross and the others watched in horror as Ape Vegeta just mangled Goku. As Goku struggled against the overwhelming power of Ape Vegeta, Tien saw an opening and charged in, hoping to buy some time for his friends. He launched a powerful Tri-Beam attack, aiming directly at Vegeta's face.
Ape Vegeta roared in anger, swatting away the energy blast as if it were nothing. His massive hand then came crashing down on Tien, pinning him to the ground. Tien screamed in pain, his body unable to withstand the immense pressure.
"Tien!" Krillin shouted, rushing forward, but it was too late. With a final, brutal squeeze, Ape Vegeta crushed Tien beneath his palm, leaving nothing but a lifeless body in his wake.
The Z Fighters were stunned, their morale plummeting as they witnessed the loss of their comrade. Cross, still recovering from the Saibamen's attack, clenched her fists in anger. "We can't let his sacrifice be in vain," she muttered, determination burning in her eyes.
"We can't lose Goku too. The Dragon Balls won't be restored for another year and we'll need them for Tien!"
"Maybe Namek has some," Piccolo offered. "Right now we just need to figure out how to help. Then we can figure out how to get the Namekian Dragon Balls."
Cross pushed to her feet. "I...got this," she forced a smile even as she seemed to get smaller, younger. Not much older than Gohan. "Giant monsters are my specialty."
She transformed again and vanished into the sky. A moment later, a massive robot, bits still smoldering, appeared, and with a smack, knocked Goku out of Ape Vegeta's hand before engaging him hand to hand.
"You're full of tricks," Vegeta taunted. "Come with me and together we can dethrone the tyrant Frieza, avenge my people."
The pair exchanged blows for a bit before Yajirobe sped in with the save, slicing off Vegeta's tail and returning him to normal size. The Z Fighters dog-piled him and the prince was forced to flee. Their own wounded to tend to, they did not pursue. Especially as kid Cross fell from her giant and de-transformed. Out of breath and seeming even a few years younger and smaller.
