Nearly forty years have passed since the destruction of Planet Vegeta. On a planet torn by war, a city is in the midst of turmoil by a resistance group attempting to takeover. The city soldiers fight with casualties on all side as the captain makes his last stand against the winning resistance.

"Ready yourselves men!" he shouts bravely. He bares witness to his soldiers struggle to stand amongst the dead and injured. A cannon fires and buildings crumble around them. There's no chance of survival now. The Captain makes a final stand as the resistance fighters close in on their position. Two children that didn't manage to escape witness the tanks speed on by as soldiers march. Suddenly, the building next to them begins to crumble and rubble fall towards them. The embrace in fear when suddenly they feel a shadow loom above them and the rubble stops falling. The two children open their eyes and towering above them is Dore, hulking above them, holding the rubble in place. The kids are happy to see him as he struggles to hold back the rubble.

"Go on kids" he says, "get goin, I can't hold this any longer."

The kids start moving immediately and witness Salza and Neiz destroying the tanks and stopping the soldiers from advancing. It's like seeing superheroes coming into save the day. One of the kids eyes are wide in amazement.

"Come on, we have to go" the other shouts.

Suddenly, a blast looms their way and a shadow comes in front of them and deflects it away. A man in a sleek black robotic suit of armor stands between them and the tank the blast came from. The kids are amazed as he stands masked by a helmet looking cool and standing bravely. This is NightHollow.

"It's too dangerous for you kids to be here," he tells them, "hold on to me, I'll get you out of here."

The children grab hold, one by the hand and the other hopping on his back. He looks over to Dore whose tossed the rubble aside.

"Think you can clear me a path?" he asks.

Dore stretches his arms and neck out and walks in front of them.

"Gimme a few seconds and I'll clear more than just a path" Dore says as he plants his feet down and with all his might rampages towards the incoming resistance soldiers and their tanks. The soldiers are terrified cause Dore is not stopping and is coming in hot. Nothing can stand in his way. NightHollow takes advantage and takes the children to safety away from the turmoil. He sets the kids down and pats them on the head before flying back to the battle.

Meanwhile, the Captain holds his own just before witnessing Salza dismember the attackers overrunning him using his Scatter Finger Beams. He walks up to the captain who is amazed by his power.

"How many of your men can still fight?" he asks.

"Uh-Uh...this is all I have left sir" the Captain responds still stunned.

Salza looks to see several injured soldiers taking cover while protecting a few civilians. He's not impressed looking at the Captain, disappointed in the firepower he has left. He activates his scouter and pinpoints the amount of resistance soldiers coming towards them and there's a lot that could overwhelm, spanning down the street.

"We won't be able to end this at the rate we're going" he remarks to himself before pressing a button on his scouter once again, "Dore, Neiz where are you?"

Neiz is seen firing ki blasts in the air before communicating back.

"Any ideas Salza?" he asks.

"Meet up with me right now. Let's finish this."

"Right behind ya pal" Dore says jumping in with a helmet of a fallen resistance soldier in hand. Salza looks at him annoyed as Dore just shrugs. "What? I wanted a souvenir."

Neiz follows in behind from the air and the two stand side by side with Salza. NightHollow lands in front of the trio facing the rest of the resistance incoming.

"I'll buy you some time to charge up your attack" he tells them.

Salza gives him a stern look as NightHollow speeds attacking the resistance head on against the tanks and resistance fighters. Arms being broken, heads being bashed, no one can touch this guy whose speed and agility is off the charts. With over twenty men down in under fifteen seconds, NightHollow finds himself standing before a tall bulky resistance fighter who drops his gatling gun, desiring a more hand to hand. NightHollow turns behind him and sees Salza, Dore and Neiz all charging up an attack together in unison. Without hesitation, NightHollow charges up briefly and punches the tall fighter in the guts.

"As much as I want to tango with you, these guys have something to show," he says pointing towards the trio.

The three others stand in formation and begin to pose, charging up an array of energy that builds up. Once they finish their pose, they fire a massive full power energy wave that covers the streets wiping anything in its path to dust, heading straight towards the rest of the resistance. The tall soldier looks in shock as the energy blast comes his way just as NightHollow vanishes in thin air just before the blast destroys everything. The survivors all bare witness to the Armored Squadron's power and applause, cheering that their city is safe. NightHollow regroups up with the others and the four are congratulated for their heroism with praise.

"It's not often we're praised for our work" Dore comments, "something I can get use to."

The City Elder appears from hiding with the rest of the civilians and they bow to them.

"Thank you for saving us" the Elder speaks, "we are always forever grateful under Cooler's rule."

Salza and the others are worshiped as heroes as they break out in song and celebration. Moments later, the town rejoices with victory and the Armored Squadron stay to eat and be commemorated. Neiz and Dore dance with some of the townspeople while Salza eats. For a trio who was there when Planet Vegeta perished, they are seen as more than just bad people, but heroes and saviors in other's eyes. NightHollow watches, leaning on a wall a distance away, as if he desires to be alone. The two kids from earlier come up to him and graciously give him a gift before going along in the dance. He's unsure how to react to such a thing as Salza walks up to him eating a delicacy known to the planet. It looks like ice cream.

"Not participating I see" he asks.

"Not really use to such commodities, especially after what we do" NightHollow says.

"Lighten up. We saved these people and they're gracious to live under our lord's rule. After today, the resistance on Riyaki will no longer be a problem to handle."

He looks at Salza who continues to enjoy his delicacy, watching everyone enjoy themselves, dancing the night away.

"After that then what?"

"What we do isn't for the people, remember that."

NightHollow leans off the wall and stands face to face with Salza. There's some tension rising between them as their ki flow starts to clash with one another. Two fierce warriors on the same side, contested by one another's personality. Dore appears noticing the tension and steps forward.

"Whoa whoa guys easy," he says "we're here to celebrate not butt heads to see who really leads the squad."

"Obviously it's me," Salza replies.

"Sure, if you was able to keep up with me earlier today," NightHollow comments.

With his turquoise turning red with frustration and ready to throw the first punch, Dore splits in between the two just before Salza can try to start anything.

"Let's settle this later," Dore frantically speaks, "we'll have plenty of time for that. Let's have a drink and let me tell you about how I was undefeated in 300 matches at the Galactic Pro Wrestling League."

The night goes on as Dore, drunk, shares stories to the townsfolk while Salza and Neiz annoyingly listens. Meanwhile, NightHollow stares at the moon with his arms folded concentrated, isolated from the rest of the celebration in his own thoughts. Suddenly, his helmet's scouter communication system activates and NightHollow is transmitted a message from a soldier.

"Sir, Lord Cooler wants the Armored Squadron to return to command" the soldier states firmly, "he has some important information to tell."
