Endangered Saiyans

Part 7

Chichi was putting the finishing touches of the fine meal she had been preparing out side on some rented picnic tables. She was very pleased with the way she had aranged the food, and hoped everyone noticed the way she had carefully found the right place to put everything.

Krillian came stumbling out the door, and he head a very confused face on.

"Oh, Hi Krillian!" Chichi said happily, "I see 18 has sent her best wishes! How thoughful, I'll take that off your hands, thank you."

Krillian let himself be relieved of the cake he had been carrying.

"Krillian?" Chichi asked, concerned by Krillian's silence, "Why don't you have a seat? I'm all finished here, and was about to go tell the boys to come sit down. Every one else should be ariving, soon."

Krillian, face still confused and blank, sat as ordered. The sweet smell of the best cooking in the universe slowely brought Krillian back to his senses, and his mouth watered. He dared not taste a bite, yet, however, for he, like everyone else, feared the wrath of Chichi.

Chichi walked through the house, and out to the back yard. She caught sight of Goku, Goten,and Gohan.

"Dinner is almost ready in the front yard....and...." Chichi trailed off, staring wide eyed at Nappa, then Radditz, then Turles. She had been warned earlier that they would be coming, but she was still shocked to see them, standing there plain as day.

Turles smirked, he had always enjoyed seeing the surprise and shock on the faces of his victims, and he did, indeed, plan to have every one on the planet as his personal victim.

"You say dinner?" Nappa asked, an excited look on his face.

For some reason, this look reminded Chichi of the look Goku got when he was hungary, sometimes, so she quickly said what she would have said to anyone else in the situation, "The food IS ready, but you can't have a bite until every one else has arrived," Chichi though for a second, then added, "AND you've had a bath. I won't have such a rancid smell permiating my guest's noses and ruining my perfectly good meal."

Needless to say........the Saiyans were, ehem, a LITTLE surprised.

"What did you say!?" Nappa said, quite mad.

"You heard me!" Chichi had rather forgotten her position, and was now just mad, "There is a nice stream down the mountain that I'm sure would at least STIFLE your bodily hygene problem."

Nappa may not have been bright, but he could recognize and insult a mile away. Beyond enraged that such a WEAK being could insult him, Nappa charged! Befor Chichi could even recognize the danger she was in, Goku had calmly placed himself between her and Nappa's raging fist. Nappa struck Goku as hard as he could in the chest. Once Chichi saw what had almost happened to her, she promply fainted.

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!"

Nappa tenderly craddled his smarting hand, swearing like there was no tomarrow, while Goku seemed RATHER unaffected.

"You guys are gonna hafta wait till after dinner to fight," Goku said, "Then I'm gonna show you how pointless it is to try to kill me."

"Ingrate!"Turles snapped, "You wouldn't stand a chance agenst us at our maximum power!!"

"Oh!" Goku looked slightly excited, "You mean you learned to hide your chi?!"

"Hide our...what!" Radditz said, the thought never having occured to him, "It can't be done!"

"Oh, really?" Gohan said, hopping to his feet. The three Saiyans turned three evil glares in his direction.

"Yes," Radditz snear wasn't quite as potent as he had hoped it to be, "Really."

Gohan got a surprisingly sinister grin on his face and said, "Gentlemen, I'll ask you now to train you scouters on me, right now, please."

Curious, they did as they were told.

"What is my power level, now?" Gohan asked with a gleam in his eye.

"110,000," Turles said, rather surprised at his large power at still such a young age, Gohan was still a boy by Saiyan standards.

"Oh, kay...." Gohan powers up a little, and Turles, Radditz, and Nappa jumped when their scouters started increasing extremely fast, "How bout now?"

"S-suh-suh- six hundred and ninet-tuh-two!" Nappa was kinda frightened.

"And....now?" Gohan said, quickly smothering his chi.

"FIVE!!" Turles was.....beyond words.

"It's not a hard trick,"Goku said, making his chi rise and fall like waves, causing the scouters to make very funny sounds, almost like music.

Krillian came running into the backyard, and yelled, "Vegita and the gang are here!"

Chichi quickly came to and ran back into the house, yelling, "I'm not quite ready! I still gotta put the last coat of glaze on the turkey!!"

Chichi paused at the door of the house, and looked back.

The Saiyans had seemed menacing at first, but Chichi suddenly realized just how harmless Nappa's punch had been to Goku. Chichi noted that Nappa was still craddling his hurt hand, but Goku seemed completely unaffected. Chichi felt pride swell for her husband, but quickly reprimanded herself and went inside to tend to the last bits of food, as well as welcome the arriving guests.
