(Piccolo-POV)
They quickly traversed through space, Piccolo, Gohan, Pikkon and Raditz were easily able to catch up with the fleet in time… though it had by then reached Earth and a massive armada were beginning to land ground forces upon the planet. There was nothing for it, they had to deal with the lot of them, there among them though are a few that Piccolo remained guarded in their task against. Feeling their energy, he turned to gaze at Gohan for a moment.
"...Yeah, I can feel them. Some of these guys are up there in their strength. Familiar still, must be why Frieza kept them on. And there a whole lot of weaker ones, could be overwhelmed in a fight… Frieza must have introduced training chambers or something similar to feel this confident in sending his men to Earth. Not saying we can't take them… just that there are going to be a whole lot of deaths to consider." Gohan looked conflicted of course, Piccolo understood his mindset, he himself wasn't that worried about destroying his foes and the same could be said about Raditz. Pikkon… Piccolo reckoned he was someone who took justice in stride, perhaps he would feel bad about killing this many people though Piccolo didn't think he would.
Raditz didn't reply, for of course that muscle-bound idiot was thinking about nothing other then fighting, the Saiyan while already within 'Super Saiyan Primal' begun to power himself up, warmed his strength as he held both hands forwards… a smirk crossing his face then.
"Well, let's start taking these bastards out. 'Double Sunday' haaaaaa!" two beams, purple colored were formed and roared for two of the ships in the distance, impacting. The detonation shocked the other ships all around, shock waves and debris from the destroyed ships impacted a whole lot of the other ships and transports. The other ships all over begun to steady themselves, while space begun to be filled with a whole lot of dots; soldiers as they begun to ffly around the rest of their fleet and soon enough they begun to show their number.
"Hmmm, the rats are jumping ship and they infest these waters… Heh, now where are their strongest number-" Piccolo's eyes widened a smidgen, for the whole lot of soldiers over yonder in full view of their fleet begun to become engulfed in their own Ki, they were standing up to them now and with power that begun to rise steadily, soon after their gathering power become apparent.
"That is a whole lot of Ki-blasts. Alright, let's do this!" Gohan shouted, powering up as well, Raditz and Pikkon already ready and Piccolo followed suite as thousands of Ki-blasts raced for their position, arching in trajectory towards their intended targets.
The four of them swept through the attacks in afterimages, maneuvering ever closer while noticing that a whole lot of the rest of the fleet continued on with their intended task, sending forces down below onto Earth, not so much a problem yet for some of their allies remained on the planet.
Soon enough, three of their strongest and these four were among those who were with Frieza on his last invasion of Earth could be felt, their power radiating higher then the rest of these there, one for each of them-
-Merus arrived in a flash, with him that dead kid Granolah; of which he no longer was dead as there was no halo indicating he was.
"Guys, I had this guy wished back through use of the Earth dragon balls. Hope you don't mind, for there were wishes to be used. I've told him since then, that we will help him bring back his people for it is possible… with those Super Dragon balls." Merus turned to gaze at the four opposing them, the four who outshone the rest, their closer presence and their position being far closer enough for them all to see their faces and hear their voices should they begin to speak.
"Merus… you know who we are to face, yes." Gohan said nearby, Piccolo listening.
"Yeah… they are prisoners or former ones at the very least, the most dangerous foes anyone could face, mutants of their respective races and therefore, holding a whole lot of power… prior to their escape. Who knows just how much more stronger they have become now that they are seemingly willing to serve the one known as Frieza. The one with the blonde hair, pink skin there is Saganbo. The little one there, that is Shimorekka. That one is Seven-Three… an android of some unknown origin, to me and my former order at least and that there is Zauyogi." Piccolo nodded along, seeing them close enough to them now, they all assembled closer now as they watched the two new arrivals Merus and Granolah with some suspicion.
"...Raditz, you and I will go after the majority of their force. Gohan, Pikkon, Merus… Granolah, take on these four and keep them out of the way." Piccolo then seen the other half of Frieza's armada incoming, the one which Dabura, Mira and Cumber went after. He seen them also in the distance enshrouded in their Ki while making time in catching up with that other half of the fleet, Piccolo flickered past the four with Raditz following along, the two of them passing the four opponents while they were beset upon by Gohan and the others.
(Dabura-POV)
They tracked the fleet for a time, easily enough while taking out some of the soldiers that were left in their path with ease, Mira letting off some steam while Cumber become enraged a few times while the bloodlust he felt made him into beast.
'They finally archived at Earth then. Fine, good enough as ever to cut loose.'
"Mira, go ahead." he didn't say nothing to Cumber, that one already charged ahead, reaching the part of the enemy armada that was their target and begun engaging with ten of the strongest of this half of Frieza's forces, powerful enough to be an annoyance to any one of them, a threat if they worked together. Dabura decided to take out the fleet itself, to rid them of that large army within that were being allowed to land because the twelve-
-'That one there… isn't that the one who took over the other Towa?' he seen 'him' or rather, her within the crowd opposing Mira and Cumber, though only a glimpse before… 'she' vanished from sight.
'And she was wearing… he was wearing the armor of the Frieza Force, more of an elite set for a female but that was no doubt this Demigra person must be here for a reason. No doubt, he was gathering power for some cause of his...' Dabura caught a glimpse all right, though he couldn't sense her with potent sensing ability he's since honed on Earth. Demigra vanished from sight within the massive gathering of soon-to-be dead fools.
Cumber and Mira were already within the massive crowd, demolishing the fools while Dabura hung back encase he was needed, he also begun to sense more of the stronger foes assembling on the other side of the massive army, floating aways from the disposable masses.
There was four warriors there, powerful and seemed content to watch them fight against the army first, though there were more of the army that was touching down with the ships but Dabura knew the Earth had defenders awaiting the invasion. Dabura moved himself to the other side of the army, killing a few who dared to attack him from behind as he looked over the four that remained motionless, then seeing when Demigra appeared behind these four. One of them stepped forwards, a cackling screech of a tone as he shouted towards him.
"You've laid eyes upon Frieza's honorguard. I am Rigll and I've been authorized to destroy you all should you place yourself in my Emperor's path! Captain Bullgokin, captain Waka, captain Blueberry, destroy these cretins, the honor-guard elite will overwhelm these dogs as their training dictates." the two now named aliens, dressed very highly decorated compared to the rest of these Frieza Force soldiers, armor comparable to Demigra's in fact now, Dabura also noticed the similar armors of those soldiers taking on both Mira and Cumber among the massive army.
"Tell me cretin, how certain are you that you and the rest of these who so blindly follow you can stop Mira and Cumber? Both of them, they will tear you apart. I… well, I'll be tearing that fleet to pieces before I show you your inner's, put it on a platter so you can know your mistake." the one, Rigll cackled, amused and through his laughter most of the others felt emboldened to do the same, just as he, the two captains and many of the honor-guard among the army were then enshrouded in a familiar, blue-colored aura; that of Towa's empowering ability… though she wasn't here-
'-He did this then. Should have known.' Dabura chuckled deeply, not perturbed in the slightest, Rigll then replying through his cackle, seeing that his laughter didn't piss him off in the slightest.
"The Emperor's empire has advanced in training facilities nation wide… Only due to payment can a Frieza Force soldier earn the right to empower themselves through rigorous training within these facilities… else our empire would have fallen due to everyone training at all hours of the day. The honour guard, the Ginyu Force, the Hera shock-trooper's and the elite number have more influence, economic capital and strength to be able to pay for such facilities much more often then the grunts. Which is why I am confident in my telling you this. You'll be defeated by a force capable of destroying you all in the name of Lord Frieza. Now, kill them." Rigll flickered away from his position, now no longer being empowered by 'Demigra' who also appeared to be visible to that Rigll, Demigra seen Dabura see him and smirk as 'he' vanished from sight.
"Damned bastard, we need to track that one down and tear him asunder! Now then, I've seen you all eyeing me like a lamb to the slaughter… Think you can keep up with a former Demon King, one who can tear your own emperor from his gilded throne!" Dabura begun powering up during his speech, though he had to quickly reach for his full amount for the honour-guard among them, those caped, empowered members as well as familiar soldiers of the Hera race came beset upon him in no time flat, all of them empowered by Demigra.
Mira and Cumber were also down to facing the Hera shock-trooper's and those honour-guards among the amassed army, the rest of the those weaklings begun to fly straight for Earth, covered from the lesser number though more immensely powerful elite forces that came upon the three of them via teamwork. Or the honour-guard did so, Dabura found it was more or less different with the Hera, who came upon them all like rabid beasts, enjoying the melee bout that begun to sprout up as they reached them three.
Dabura maneuvered with speed, making sure he kept his guard up to not take any necessary hits, for this wasn't like fighting one powerful foe, there was much to consider when fighting this high number of powerful enemies. He liked the challenge though, and while they were immensely capable of taking even melee hits from Mira, Cumber and Dabura… the three of them were still killing off a great number of the regular grunts that raced past them for their invasion task, a few of the so-called elites had already been killed by Mira and Cumber both prior to Demigra's interference.
Thousands of enemies, Dabura had to react much faster then normal, since they were fighting in the vacuum of space did he and his two compatriots have an easier time moving from place to place, there was a certain challenge in coming out of this unscathed from the mosh pit that was these powerful enemy fighters, all clamoring for his, Mira and Cumber.
Also, unlike this army of capable fighters, he and the other two didn't have to hold back in terms of using their Ki as a weapon, sometimes in a blitz of speed there was a critical moment when he, or the others could launch a tiny though powerful Ki-blast to catch the nearest enemy foe off-guard, sometimes destroying the shocked foe in the timed-thrown blast; that also effected some of those nearby. The others had no chance, also they were aware that to risk firing a blast upon them three was the high chance that they missed, hitting one of their own.
All in all, it looked to be that Dabura, Mira and Cumber were in for a good, though a good endurance as this massive onslought shall take time… time for those who were heading to Earth to be able to land upon the planet, where they were certain to also meet their doom at the hands of the likes of Tien, Krillin, Oceanus, Yang, Raven… whoever else was ready to defend their planet.
(Tien-POV)
The remaining of Earth's special forces were well prepared and even some of the half Saiyan kids were on site, among them. All assembled, the likes of Yamcha, Krillin and Raven, along with Blake and her younger daughter Ursula stood nearby, standing near to her half-sister Wylla and her mother Weiss. Also, Oceanus Shenron came with reluctance, saying she would support those of the planet for she also lived there… Young Trunks, Goten, Achilles and Anthony stood with Vegeta's eldest two kids Tarble who was the same age among them and his sister Vernal, younger by five years compared to them, but seemed even fiercer then the lot of them by comparison.
There was also Nail, he stood nearby with Sixteen, Yang, Qrow and then there are Nappa, Bardock with his pals, Tora and Fasha among them, and Vegeta's father… Vegeta stood also with some other Saiyan warriors. Cinder along with Zangya, Chiaotzu, Majin Buu and Hercules… that guy looked nervous being here, he stood much closer to the ignorant-looking Buu, who at this time was still stuffing his face with sweets. Also, the Ginyu member Recoome stood nearby, arms crossed while he kept further away from their group, only the former King Vegeta and some of his Saiyan's had hatred for him though he seemed not to give a care in the slightest. It was a while, but Vegeta's younger brother Tarble showed himself here, sensing their location and joining up with their effort to protect the planet.
Above them, saucer-shaped spacecraft and smaller vessels begun to enter Earth's atmosphere in the hundreds, with even more smaller shapes; that thousands of soldiers slowly blotting out the sky with their presence, coming downwards. Usually, they would have begun their attack there and now, though with their much greater power and therefore, speed… they waited for the last words.
"There they are… Will spread out and take down them before they go for one of the many settlements, towns and cities so keep an eye out whenever these guys make their moves." Tien said, eyes peering at each of them as he spoke, Weiss adding.
"Though don't go alone, teaming up will ensure that there is someone there by your side should these miscreants decide to gang up on one of us."
"Also I am expecting that some of my people shall be up there, so make sure that when you see one of my own Hera people, that it isn't me you're trying to kill. This is going to be shocking… when they see I'm still alive." Tien heard Zangya speak, clearly excited at the prospect of this battle. Though many including Tien were wondering what she meant by her statement, only Yamcha asked her about it, much to her widening smirk.
"You forget, I was once a pirate under the command of that savage, Bardock. Many of our own race were killed off by our enemies… and each other, all clamoring for the strength to stand at that bastard's side. A lot of them should have heard of me at least. Former member of the Galaxy Soldier's." they all acknowledged that there would also be a lot of Hera warriors among these Frieza Force soldiers.
They begun to take off from the ground, quickly moving to intercept entire groups of enemy soldiers, some of the ships were already targeted by the likes of Zangya, Raven, the Saiyan's, Sixteen and Qrow while the others including Tien went after the soldiers. A mass battle began in an instant, for there was no waiting for these P.T.O soldiers to even react to their presence before large swaths of them begun dropping like flies.
'Well then, there is nothing for it… Being merciless, while I would have been comfortable in just knocking these bastards out, they are the ones who came here… to inflict their bloodshed upon the people here. I'm ashamed those kids will have to participate but it is better to learn about these sorts of choices early in life. Whether or not to take a life…' Tien thought as easily as he maneuvered through these push overs, though the only problems they would face were to be the Hera among all these weak fighters… and the fact that there were over tens of thousands or even higher.
Tien could also feel the powers in space, further away if he cared to sense that far out and there were even more of them out there, though they too were 'blinking' out of his senses, dying fast.
"Get that b-bald freak!-
"-Surround him!!" Tien focused back on all the different people trying their damnedest to take him on, they certainly were stronger than the last guys of Frieza's he fought against but there was just no competing for these idiots, some of them didn't even seem capable of using their own Ki as a weapon while wielding energy weapons. There was no effort in this needless slaughter, only that there were many of them to go after… Too fast for these idiots, he made them
"Haaaa! 'Multi-form'!!" Tien spawned forty of himself, even that much didn't make him weaker than the average soldier among this lot and with the extra 'himself', he was even faster in taking out these talent-less fighters.
