As they made their way through the maze of corridors that made up the Amazon's lair, Bulma and Mizuki marveled at the sheer size of the place. Here and there, Bulma caught glimpses of markings that were familiar to her, though she couldn't place them. After all, she had no time to try. She was much too preoccupied with the notion of her and her friend getting away from those weird creatures.

"Bulma, let's try down this way." Mizuki pointed down a dimly lit passage off to their left.

"Well, it's worth a try. Let's get a move on, we don't want those hairy freaks finding out where we are. They probably already know that we're not where we're supposed to be." Together, they took off down the hallway, not knowing what was ahead.

After a few minutes of running down the seemingly endless hallway, they came to a doorway at the end.

"Wonder what's in here." Bulma walked up to the door, which opened automatically to her surprise. Inside it was pitch black. She reached around the archway and found a control panel. Upon pressing a button, the lights came on to reveal a huge, cavernous room. At the end of the hall, big as life, was something that Bulma finally recognized. A giant symbol was painted on the wall: a red, bowtie-shaped marking with two letters, both of them R's. "My god. This is an old Red Ribbon Army base!"

"What are you talking about, Bulma?"

"The Red Ribbon Army. They were a criminal organization a long time ago, and my friend Goku stopped them cold. It was pretty amazing, cause Goku was just a little kid then."

"Wow. That is pretty wild. Goku did all that when he was just a kid?"

"Yep. Only he didn't finish the job. One of the Red Ribbon's scientists, Dr. Gero, got away. When that kid from the future came back and beat Freiza, he told Goku about the Androids. Dr. Gero is creating them to destroy Goku and get revenge for stopping the army. That's why Vegeta and the others have been training so hard."

"And this is one of their old bases?"

"You got it. The Amazons must have found it and decided to use it as their own. I guess alot of the equipment still functions. It's amazing. This place has to be over 10 years old."

"However old it is, my dear, doesn't matter." A voice from behind them boomed loud and clear, and the two girls turned to see where it had come from. Standing there, with a sadistic grin on his face, was the Amazon leader. "Thought you were clever, did you? Thought you could escape? Ha. Hardly."

"You'll be sorry when Vegeta and Krillin get here, buster. They'll kick you back to wherever you came from in no time." Bulma spoke with her usual defiant tone, though there was an undertone of fear in her voice.

"Vegeta? Coming here? My dear, I'm counting on it..."

Out on the battlefield, the four Saiyans and their Human compatriot fought fiercely against the Super Saiba Men. Though small and not that powerful, they proved to be rather strong adversaries, given their numbers. Each fighter had two of the creatures to deal with.

The first to get the advantage was Vegeta, who managed to beat one of the little monsters down enough to keep him on the gorund, allowing him to concentrate on the other. "Well, my little friend," he said, giving the monster his trademark scowel, "it looks like your time is just about up. And once I'm done with you, your partner over there will be joining you in whatever dimension you get sent to." With a laugh and a sneer, Vegeta powered up his Ki and let loose an immense blast directed at his adversary, vaporizing it in an instant.

Pleased with his first kill, Vegeta then tossed the other Saiba Man high into the sky and unleashed a blast that wasted the little creature and turned him to dust. With a newfound sense of both superiority and agression, Vegeta began to assist his fellow Saiyans, as well as Krillin, usually by attacking the Super Saiba Men from behind, allowing his allies to topple them with relative ease. Almost as soon as it had begun, the fight with the genetically altered henchmen was over, with Vegeta and Rico standing before the Amazons.

"What? How'd they beat them? It's impossible! Dirty monkies. We'll show you."

"Oh will you now? I think you don't stand a chance against me, let alone the rest of these guys. You're outclassed, out matched, and outnumbered. What do you think of those odds?" Vegeta had a sneer on his face, one that oozed confidence, if not egotism and cockyness.

"Well, Vegeta. Why don't you do this. Let's see how your Super Saiyan friends here handle themselves. If you're so sure of yourself, then why don't you just wait and see how your buddies do?"

"I like that idea, actually." Ry stepped forward, ready for the challange. He looked at the smaller of the two Amazons and smiled. "You and me, jackass. One on one. Your buddy stays out of it, and my boys will do the same. Just you and me."

The Amazon looked at the smallest of the three Super Saiyans and smiled. "You know, I've been waiting a long time to hear you say that, Ry. Every time I've tried to do something, you've been there to screw it up for me and save the day. Well, this time, you won't be saving anything. When you get down to the long and short of it, your friends here will be saving your ass."

Vegeta scowled, obviously angered that he wouldn't be fighting. He took a deep breath, sighed, and finally spoke up. "Alright. You two can have you're fun. But hear me, Amazon.Even if you get past him, you will not get past me. Count on it." With that, he turned in a huff and walked back towards Krillin to sit and watch the battle from the sidelines.

The battle was fast and furious, with both combatants scoring major blows early. Both were winded, but neither wanted to give up the ship. The other Amazon watched with a sadistic grin on his face, sure of his partner's skills. On the other side, the Saiyans, Vegeta and Krillin watched with anticipation, each careful not to underestimate the threat at hand.

Ry and the Amazon traded punches and kicks with lightning speed, and soon resorted to energy blasts. Most missed their targets, and the ones that connected seemed to do little if any damage. Ultimately, the two came together and locked hands in a test of strength like no other.

"You know," Ry spoke between breaths and grunts, "you and your slimeball friends won't win this time. We're going to bring you in once and for all."

"Really?" Equally winded, the Amazon tried his best to speak his reply. "You could've fooled me. You monkies are the ones that are going down. Once I'm finished with you, I'll take out your brutish ogre friend and your beloved leader. And after that, we'll have our way with Vegeta."

"Have your way with Vegeta? What the hell are you talking about?"

The Amazon simply laughed and began to power up his Ki. Ry responded in kind, raising his power levels to match is adversary's. They continued like this for a time, building power at an alarming rate.

"What the heck are they doing, Vegeta?" Krillin looked on in amazment, not sure of what to make of the situation.

"If I knew that, baldie, I'd tell you. It looks like a simple test of wills, but they're raising their power like crazy. If it keeps up, one of them is going to burst and destroy the other in one shot."

"Man, I hope it's not the Amazon. We don't need the odds knocked down any more than they already are."

"Say goodbye, Saiyan." The Amazon was screaming at the top of his lungs, his power almost at its peak.

"Goodbye, Amazon. You're fun stops here and now." Ry as well was raising his power to its limit.

And then, it happened. In a flash, the two power levels collided in a thunderous explosion, blowing them both backward and sending them falling to the ground below. When the dust settled, the rest of the fighters surveyed the damage. The Amazon was unconcious, his toung hanging out of his mouth in an amost comic fashion. Ry, on the other hand, was still concious, but badly hurt.

"I... I got you... son of a... ugh."

Rico ran up to his fallen comrade and helped him sit up. "Take it easy, bro. You did good, you got him. Scratch one Amazon. We're gonna send you back with him so you can book him. Just rest for now, the techs at base will get you into the recovery chamber as soon as possible."

The remaining Amazon, however, was not at all pleased. "How... how the hell did he beat him? There's no way that monkey could have survived that! No way at all!"

Vegeta stepped up, satisfied with the results. "Well now, looks like your buddy here is a little worse for wear. So, are you ready to fight me now or what?"

Without a word, the Amazon simply took off and headed north to gather his other Amazons and regroup.

"Coward! Get back here and fight me, you loser!" Vegeta watched as the Amazon flew off. He turned to the others and saw Rico place a small device on both his friend and the beaten Amazon. In a flash, they were gone. "Where the hell did they go?"

Rico looked at Vegeta without any real expression. "We sent them back to our dimension. The Amazon will be imprisoned, and Ry will get medical attention. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Vegeta, but I'll bet you want to head after that other brute and kick his ass as well."

"You're damned right I do. Now, let's get going." With that, Vegeta took off, followed by Krillin, in hot persuit of their nemesis.

Rico looked back and Randall and smiled. "Yeah, I think it is him. Noone else I've ever known has had a temper like that."

"At least it doesn't run in the family. Let's go, boss." The two Saiyans took to the skys, following their unlikely allies in chasing the Amazon down.
