Chapter 11: The Eye in the Sky

In the dark command center of the ship in orbit...

Seika: Report!

Minion: The invasion is on schedule. There are pockets of resistance... But they are being supressed.

Seika: Resistance? That shouldn't be possible...

Minion: Their technology has advanced since our last report...

Seika: We've underestimated them... No matter. They are still insects to us. And how goes the search for the Earth Dragon Balls?

Minion: Umm... Ryan Shinlon was destroyed.

Seika: What!? There's nothing on this planet that could have even scratched him! What happened?

Minion: We don't know... We detected a power that appeared out of nowhere... Then both that power and Ryan Shinlon disappeared...

Seika: What the hell is going on here...

Minion: Mistress! Chii Shinlon is engaging an enemy... A huge power has appeared near him as well...

Seika: Is it the same power?

Minion: No. This one is different... Much larger... Wait. It's disappeared... But I'm detecting three small powers around Chii Shinlon.

Seika: Let's see them.

They bring up the images of Chii Shinlon being surrounded by Goku, Vegeta, and Jeri...

Back at the battle...

Vegeta: Give it up. You don't stand a chance against me. Let alone all three of us.

Chii Shinlon just yawns... Vegeta gives a few nods to Goku and Jeri on either side of Chii Shinlon and they begin their assault. All three jump at Chii looking to land a punch, but Chii dodges each of them while stretching...

Vegeta: What the...

Goku: He's fast...

Jeri: What do we do now?

Vegeta: Again!

The three jump at Chii again, and Chii again dodges, but this time Chii strikes back, swatting them all out of the air with the back of his hand... Jeri lands behind Chii... Vegeta was sent flying face first into the ground to the side... Goku flies straight ahead... Goku twists his body around to land and his feet, but he starts to slow down in midair... He comes to a stop as one of his feet just touches the ground blowing some dust back... Then Goku gives a yell going Super Saiyan and flies straight at Chii Shinlon leaving a trail of golden aura... Chii Shinlon turns to just see Goku's fist striking him under his chin pushing his head back... But Chii Shinlon just snaps his head back down hitting Goku into the ground.

Chii Shinlon: Not bad runt...

Goku slowly gets back up...

Goku: I'm not done yet...

Goku cups his hands to his side...

Goku: KA... ME... HA... ME... HA!!!!

An energy ball forms in Goku's hand and he fires the Kamehamaha at Chii Shinlon... Chii Shinlon stops the beam with one hand, but Goku continues to fire... Nearby, Vegeta starts to get up...

Vegeta: Bastard!

Vegeta goes Super Saiyan, then disappears and reappears beside Goku...

Vegeta: Leave some for me. KA... ME... HA... ME... HA!!!!

Vegeta fires his own Kamehameha combining it with Goku's... But Chii Shinlon still holds it back with one hand and yawns... The beam eventually dies out and Goku and Vegeta are left breathing heavily...

Chii Shinlon: Done already? My turn now.

Chii Shinlon places both hands on the ground and fires an energy pulse into it, then a red beam erupts from the ground beneath Goku and Vegeta sending them flying... As they hit the ground again, they lose their Super Saiyan form, and Chii Shinlon walks towards them...

In the distance, Uranai Baba, Piccolo, Pakku, and Gill watch all this unfold...

Uranai Baba: Isn't it time yet?

Piccolo: No.

Back at the battle, Jeri recovers enough to stand up now and sees Goku and Vegeta in trouble...

Jeri: NO! KA... ME... HA... ME... HA!!!!

Chii Shinlon turns around just as the Kamehameha strikes him in the head keeping him motionless, but unhurt....

Jeri: HAAAAAAA!!!!!

Jeri puts as much energy as she can into the beam, but Chii Shinlon starts to walk towards her pushing the beam back...

Jeri: Damnit... Why won't you...

Chii Shinlon: Hehe... Give it up.

Jeri lets out a high pitched scream as her hair starts to stand on end... Her eyes start to flash green... More energy is shot out stopping Chii Shinlon in his tracks... Her hair starts to turn gold as a firey gold aura appears around her as well... Goku and Vegeta manage to lift their heads up to witness this...

Goku & Vegeta: Jeri!

Jeri turns Super Saiyan before their eyes as her beam grows even more pushing Chii's head down a little more...

Chii Shinlon: Enough!

Chii Shinlon lifts his head back up breaking the beam then puts both his hands onto the ground sending a blast up right beneath Jeri throwing her back... She loses her Super Saiyan form struggles trying to lift her upper body back up.... Chii Shinlon walks towards her....

Chii Shinlon: I think I'll finish you off first...

Piccolo: Makkenkosappo!

An orange spiralling beam drills through Chii Shinlon's neck, and he drops to the ground. He glows, then shrinks into the Seven Black Star Dragon Ball, but it remains purple instead of the normal orange colour... Piccolo walks towards them, and Goku and Vegeta run to check on Jeri.

Goku: Are you ok Jeri?

Jeri: Yea... Hey, did you guys see me?

Vegeta: Yea... We saw ya. Welcome to the club.

Jeri: Hehe... Ow.

Piccolo: You kids need to get a lot better... Fast.

Goku: Why don't you guys just defeat them? It seems like you can easily...

Piccolo: Don't expect the dead to do all the work for the living.

Pakku comes running up with Gill and Uranai Baba floating just behind...

Pakku: Hey guys! Great fight! I'll go get the Dragon Ball for ya!

Pakku starts running towards the Seven Black Star Dragon Ball...

Piccolo: Stop! Don't touch it!

Pakku: What? Why not?

Piccolo: He's not finished yet...

Piccolo walks up to the purple Dragon Ball and holds his hand above it... Then, the Dragon Ball starts to bounce away...

Piccolo: HAAA!!!

Piccolo fires a blast hitting the Dragon Ball, and it returns to the normal orange colour. He then picks up the Dragon Ball and looks at it...

Piccolo: These should have been destroyed when I died...

Piccolo then throws it to Goku.

Piccolo: Take them to Kami. He can seal them up for you.

Goku: Kami? Where is he?

Piccolo: You'll find him soon enough...

Piccolo then walks up to Goku, and puts one hand on his shoulder.

Piccolo: Goku... Live up to that name.

Piccolo then glows and disappears, and the Seven Star Dragon Ball drops in Goku's hand.

Uranai Baba: Great. Now who's going to fix up my home?

Vegeta: Don't look at us, we've got a mission to accomplish.

Goku: Good bye. Thanks for the Dragon Ball.

Jeri: Bye!

Uranai Baba: Good luck!

The kids get into their ship and fly off towards the next Dragon Ball...

Meanwhile, back on the ship in orbit...

Seika: Saiyans. Not only that... Super Saiyans. They still exist on Earth. Transmit this to the lord.

Minion: Yes mistress.

Seika: What an interesting turn of events...
