*3rd POV

It was demanding almost from the start. Frieza was undoubtedly aware of his crazy numerical superiority, and he wasted no time in bringing it to bear against Earth's seven defenders.

However, outnumbered as they were, the defenders proved themselves up to the challenge as if adhering to some invisible chain of command. For the adult fighters, this was just another round to get through, amidst so many.

For Bana, however, this was an experience. After some initial efforts, he had adjusted himself to the rhyme of battle and with youthful brashness threw himself with abundant glee to the task. Presently he had elbowed yet another enemy right in the gut.

"--Keh! They are not so powerful as I feared, for legions of the said 'Cosmic Emperor'..."

"Until this is over--" Saui alongside him kneed an unfortunate hostile legion staggering too close to her side, "keep your guard up!"

"You okay, Mom?"

"Why... Certainly never this refreshed!"

With another quick and powerful side kick, the Saiyan woman sent another adversary slamming into ten of his unlucky comrades.

"Say... can we transform here?"

As immediate reply, his mother sprayed Ki blasts around her in a semi-circular fashion; giving them both some extra breathing space that almost immediately tightened again.

"...Do as you see fit! It's free for all now--Yah!!"

Yet again Saui managed to release herself from the grip of another pig-eyed enemy.

Bana acknowledged such words--as well as the prowess--with a brave smile, before sending his foot straight down a crouched opponent's back.

After several more minutes of fighting, Roshi perceived that battling in one location was really getting too much for them even if they are gaining ground; so he advised that they spread out--in part to divert the enemy's focus and to ease in clearing them up. This was immediately and obligingly seen to by the fighters themselves and their respective clouds of 'pursuers'.

From then on the battle spread and raged on various fields from forests to hilltops to caverns, with often unique ways on the part of defenders to try and hold off the enemy. In one instance, Jaco (the 'elite' patrolman was pushed into the 'service' of the defenders' ranks by none other than Bulma) managed to send about half his pursuers slamming right into the flat side of a cliff, and the other half swallowed as a group by a giant fish they had dared to disturb with Ki shots.

Piccolo and Gohan, meanwhile, battled the enemy in the narrow confines of a maze of mountain rocks.

Krillin and Roshi battled together on a hilltop.

Tien blasted his group of pursuers out of a cave using his Tri-Beam super blast.

Bana and his mother, both now as Super Saiyans, split up. The child was arguably having the moment of his life, reveling in the newfound agility and power in the new form he had recently mastered while remaining true to the original objective of knocking the enemies' guts in succession, as and when they came.

Saui, meantime, got her plate full just by trying to defend herself both from the unpleasant gazes as well as direct attacks from opponents perceiving a female Saiyan for almost the first time. At one point they even tried to gang up on her and stain her personal dignity like the scum they are--but this got foiled soon afterwards by yet another comer wearing an all-too-familiar armor and letting off a fairly powerful Ki.

"You space garbage... stay clear from my wife, or else!"
