Nappa powered up
The chapter begins with Nappa, after he finishes powering up. Nappa looks around, trying to figure out he would like to kill first. In a snap decision Nappa charge at Tien Shinhan. Nappa jumps at Tien with incredible speed, Tien manages to block his attack, however. Next, Nappa uses his Arm Break technique on Tien, punching Tien's arm clean off. Nappa then pulls his fist back in an attempt to deliver a fatal blow to Tien. Tien manages to avoid the attack, jumping in the air before he is hit. Tien then begins to charge his Tri-Beam, but is interrupted by Nappa, who flies in the air and kicks Tien to the ground. Out of anger, Krillin then attempts to charge at Nappa, who easily blows him back with his Blazing Storm. After the explosion, Chiaotzu is nowhere to be found.
