"What? What is this!?" Lord Slug kept shaking in his boots, observing the raging, emerald aura leaking out from Chayote and sending rippling shock waves that peeled the ravaged ground and sent wild debris flying. "Damn it, just when I thought they were all beaten, where did all of this power come from?"

"SLUG!" Chayote's voice resonated throughout the South City, mixed in with the primal roar of a Great Ape. It instilled fear into the heart of even the unbeatable space conqueror and psyched him out. The floating Super Namekian raised his right hand while his left still clenched it at its center and fired off a Big Masher Ki wave, aiming it at Chayote.

The destructive wave enveloped the transformed, wrathful Saiyan warrior but washed off of her like a wave of water bashing against an adamant stone. With this momentary blink of violence having grounded Chayote back into the moment, she took a step forward, cracking the city street under the pressure of her foot. Red twinkles lit up in Lord Slug's eyes as he fired a combined eye beam at Chayote.

With a deep-seated roar, Chayote took off with a wild dash, extending her left hand out and cushioning the eye beam in her palm until she swatted it aside like a bothersome fly once Lord Slug had spent too much of his energy. Roaring to release all the swelling, pent up force inside her, Chayote drove her elbow with a butt that carried the strength of her entire body into Lord Slug's face, nearly turning his head all the way around. Churning sounds spread from the Namekian's neck as his normally beady eyes turned blank.

A barrage of stiff slaps continued to pelt at Lord Slug's persistence to keep at his venture to conquer the Earth as each one seemed to almost pull the Namekian's head off, extending his neck to an unnatural degree as more and more tendons in Slug's neck failed to stay whole and connected. Chayote vanished, diving from behind into the back of Slug's knee and flipping the giant over before another snap carried her over the giant and with a diving stomp from up above, the Saiyan warrior smashed Lord Slug's face into the ruined city floor.

As the hysterical Saiyan warrior pulled her foot out of the purple mush that she's left of Lord Slug's already busted face, the Namekian's wrists and fingers continued to twitch, triggering more and more of the Saiyan's wild combat instincts as she stomped and hammered the fallen behemoth with her feet and her fists alike, breaking more and more of Slug's body and leaving the Kaiser of the Cosmos an utterly broken and bleeding mess by her feet by the time that the wrathful Saiyan straightened her back and bellowed out a blank roar into the gloomy evening skies.

"T-That Ki..." Goku muttered with a weak voice, digging through wreckage and rubble where Gohan and Chi-Chi had brought him and the other survivors after Piccolo and Chayote replaced them in battle. "What's going on?"

"It's Chayote..." Bardock grunted through the pain and strain. "I've never seen anything like that. She tried to transform into a Great Ape but seemed to stop herself, it's as if she's taken all the Great Ape form's power and toughness but kept the speed, agility and skill of a Saiyan's base form. Not to mention, it still looks like she's kept at least partial control of her senses."

Gohan's head snapped to the east. He realized that the blood-curdling cries of pain and suffering that Piccolo was spreading had gone silent. The kid lifted his body off the ground and slowly levitated off to the side to help the Namekian that saved him and his family before.

"Gohan-chan, where are you going? Haven't you heard? Chayote might be dangerous right now!" Chi-Chi reached out to her son, but little Gohan shook his head.

"I need to check on Piccolo-san. He saved us back then, and he's Namekian too. If Chayote-san truly is rampaging around and looking for people to hurt, she might get Piccolo-san confused for Slug. Piccolo-san used to try to kill father, what if Chayote still remembers that right now and will try to kill him too?" Gohan explained himself and took off.
