==Summary==
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.
The Z-Fighters are worried, hoping he did not get caught in such a strong blast. It is then seen that Chiaotzu has hopped on Nappa's back. Nappa struggles, in an attempt to get Chiaotzu get off of his back but fails to remove him. Chiaotzu then uses Telepathy to say goodbye to his best friend, Tien. Chiaotzu then uses his Farewell, Mr. Tien, putting all of his energy into one blast, causing Chiaotzu to explode. It is then seen that Nappa was completely unaffected by Chiaotzu's technique, meaning his death was all in vain.
