Battle against the Prince! (Part 1)

We finish tackling Vegeta through the 8th pillar before we toss him away and have him crash into the ground. He forms a crater from the force of it and gets up while stumbling a bit from the disorientation.

We all glare at him while he huffs angrily while also nursing a few bruises our fists gave him through his armor.

He decides to scan each of us as we also decide to let him see how "outclassed" we were to his power level.

He scans Goku at 12,800. Myself at 11,600. And Piccolo at 10,900.

He grins as he sees how even Goku at his current strength was still 5000+ lower than his own.

He begins to chuckle. Then outright laugh at us. He then sees our expressions and calms down while keeping a superior smirk on his face. He begins to explain while keeping a mocking tone to his voice, "Haha! If only you all could see your faces right now!! I just got done scanning you all! And I now see that I out class each of you! Even Kakarot, your strongest fighter! Is only at 12.8k while I am sitting at a wonderful 18,000! You all have no chance!"

We all look to each other before I make a show of face palming while making sure the slap echoes loudly to catch Vegetas attention.

He stops his chucking to see what big blunder the lowly earthling has made in his rush to fight the "great" saiyan prince.

He mocks us by asking, "Awww! What's wrong shorty? Forgot some big detail that will aid you in your fight against me?"

I look up at him and say, "Yes actually! We forgot something important!"

Vegeta quirks an eyebrow while giving a 'Really?' Look.

I nod to Piccolo and Goku as we all take our weighted clothing off. And while Piccolo had already removed his cape and hat, he also started wearing a weighted vest and weighted ankle and wrist bands to aid his training further.

All in all we were each removing 3000 pounds total from our bodies. 500 from each limb and 1000 from our torso. So our power levels shot up right before Vegetas eye as his scanner updates our power level.

He grits his teeth in annoyance as he sees how we had a hidden power up card ready to use.

Goku 12,800 --> 17,000

Piccolo 10,900 --> 15,500

Krillin 11,600 --> 16,800

Vegeta gasps as he goes, "Wha! You can't! What kind of bullshit is this? How can you get so strong with such basic tools?! You have no heavy gravity! You have no nearby planets to invade! You only have each other!"

I grin as Piccolo smirks and Goku smiles wide and says, "True Vegeta! But what we have is better than any tool! We have each other! We push each other to be better and to be stronger than we were before! And we won't take any criticism for it! After all... It worked for us! Now prepare to fight Earth's strongest warriors!"

We all take our combat stances while Vegeta angrily goes into his and destroys his scouter. He roars out while going full power and leaps at us with his ki aura flaring angrily around him.

We all go full power and counter leap him. We soon surround him and begin to launch all kinds of punch and kick combos hoping to land some solid hits.

And he also feels it. He is sweating after only 3 minutes as we begin to land glancing blows against him as we keep on putting pressure on him. He grits his teeth and readies a huge burst of energy.

Piccolo, recognizing the technique from his match with Goku. Grabs me and Goku and dives behind a pillar while Vegeta unleashes a short but powerful wave of ki.

It destroys all the rock pillars in a 300 meter radius from himself. Making it look like a giant weed whacker came through and destroyed half of the rocks around here.

He quickly looks around again before being unprepared for a barrage of ki blasts sent by Piccolo and Goku at him.

He dodges and deflects them leaving his back wide open as I prepare a Krillin favorite.

I yell out, "Destructo Disc Barrage!"

And launch no less than 15 discs at him full power.

Vegeta gasps as he wasn't ready for it. And he pauses his reactions to the ki blasts. They pepper him painfully as they still contain at least 2 to 3 thousand power each. He grunts as the discs get closer.

He dives down while enduring more blasts, covering his body in more bruises and his armor in cracks as he hides behind a mound of rocks.

He pants hard while whispering, "Okay they are tougher than I thought and know team work. But as long as I can hide here and recover a bit I should be- what is that whirring noise?"

He looks out from behind his hiding spot to see my discs coming right at him. He gasps and flies straight up. But is shocked when they go from flying at his hiding spot to following him up as well.

He tries to strafe and bob through the air to lose them. But I make sure they are right on his tail. Literally.

He stops and flies between them. Losing a few edges to his armor paldrons and thigh flaps. But other than that, he is fine.

I end the technique as it began to use up too much power to continue it. For now that is.

And he pants while looking at us and going, "Hah! That was shocking! But I out lasted it! What is next on your- where is the green one?"

He looks all over until a glow from behind him makes him loom back to see Piccolo with a full charged Makakosapo beam. He gulps and flies to his right. It turned into the right choice as Piccolo launches the beam right after the dodge began.

Vegeta feels the heat and feels the energy graze his side. The pain lances into him as he now has a chunk of his torso armor missing and his left side abs are now burned.

He hisses at the pain as he sees Goku and I both with blue energy beams charged. He grits his teeth and prepares his Gallick Gun to counter. And man does he counter.

He barely fires it off in time as we let loose a double kamehamha wave right as his gun beam attack launches.

The two beams cancel each other out soon after. Right as he goes to laugh at their failed attempt he feels his tail get grabbed.

Vegeta looks back to see a smirking Piccolo grinning at him with his tail taught between his back and Piccolos grasping hands wrapped around it.

He gasps as he feels Goku suddenly bear hug him as I come between them and surround my hand in destructo disc energy.

Vegeta screams out, "Nooooooooo!"

I slice down and cleanly cut off the tail in one fell swoop.

Vegeta now screams in pain as he is suddenly without a tail as he breaks free of Goku and kicks both Piccolo and I away.

We all fly to be across from each other while Vegeta glares at his falling tail as it is lost to the rubble below.

His glare goes up to us as we all remain prepared. It took a lot of energy for us to do that but as long as he doesn't have his great ape trump card. We will be fine.

Vegeta angrily seethes as he yells out, "You think cutting off my great ape form is enough?! I will still destroy you all! I may not be able to transform! But don't think for a minute that I am unable to power up further!"

I think hard on what I am missing before gasping and remembering what Broly did in his super movie debut. Vegeta began to grow by two feet and his muscles bulged.

Goku Piccolo and I all stsre in shock as Vegeta is now as tall as Piccolo and as well muscled as Nappa was. He is even chuckling in a darker and deeper voice than he had in the beginning.

I sense out his power level and find out he indeed got a power boost. He increased his power by 50%. He was shockingly at 27,000!

I grit my teeth before telling Goku, "Goku! Time for your special inner energy training from King Kai! Piccolo and I will hold him off a slong as we can whils you achieve it the stste you need to access it! Now hurry!"

Goku nods and goes to a hidden spot so he can meditate, and unlock a hidden well of strength he was able to bring out during King Kais training, while Piccolo and I ready ourselves for the onslaught of a half transformed, half crazed Prince Vegeta.

Only one phrase came to mind as we stared him down, "This is going to hurt."
