Kyo quickly approached the girls, ignoring Garly's rampage while Zangya battled the enormous Saiyan.
"Hang on, girls," Kyo said as he used the healing techniques he had learned from Dende to tend to Naruko and the others' wounds.
"Ouch, my head..." Naruko groaned, holding her head in pain.
"Garly is far stronger than we realised," Kakane said, standing up after being healed by Kyo.
"I can agree with that," Satsuki added, rubbing her shoulder.
"So, what's the plan?" Sakura asked, gathering her Ki and Chakra.
Kyo glanced at Zangya and Garly. "The plan is simple: we fight. This time, we go all out together!"
Team 7 nodded in agreement, and in the blink of an eye, Kyo and the others disappeared.

Zangya dodged from left to right, but each time she dodged, Garly attacked, getting closer and closer to the alien woman.
"Zangya duck!" Naruko yells as she sends a huge Rasengan to Garly and launches the big guy into the sky.
"Everyone now!" Kakane yelled as Sakura Satsuki made Kyo's favourite technique.
Garly roared in anger, "You insect, it's time to die!" The massive Saiyan made a Ki ball and threw it toward them.
"Kamehameha!" Naruko suddenly brought the Kamehameha wave straight to Garly Ki's ball.
Sakura, along with Naruko, uses the same technique and clashes with Garly Ki's ball. Then, Satsuki and Kakane support the blond and the pinky.
"Ka ME HA ME..." Kyo appears behind the girls while they want to perform Kamehameha. "HAA!"
Garly grinned in anger as he felt one Saiyan and four Kunoichis manage to push back his attack, and he went all out with the Ki orb attack.
The five ninjas were countered, and the Ki orb was closer than before, as Kyo yelled, "Zangya now!"
The alien girl suddenly appears on top of Garly's head and blasts him with a dozen Ki blasts while yelling. "Take this bastard! HAAAAA!"
The huge Saiyan roars as he gets distracted by the KI ball from Zangya.
"NOW, EVERYONE!" Kyo yells as five of them are out. They must end Garly as fast as they can because they know this man is far more dangerous than they have ever faced.
The Ki ball from Garly starts to be pushed back by Kyo and the others.
"This is not possible!" Garly yells as he powers up again.
The girl feels pushed back from the attack as Kyo gets an idea. He fires the Kamehameha with a single hand and uses his other hand to charge for another attack.
"Kyo, whatever you're planning, you'd better get it done now!" Kakane said, feeling her new energy almost depleted. She turned around and saw Kyo charging Ki with his left hand on his forehead.
"It's ready!" Kyo yelled, putting his hand forward with two straight fingers and saying, "Makankosappo!" His finger, clashing with the giant Ki ball, generated drill energy.
"ORAAAAA! " they yell as they go all out. Kyo Makankosappo penetrates Garly Ki's ball, and soon, the Kamehameha follows after and hits Garly with such force that it pushes him into outer space.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Garly yells once, last time, before dying in the hot sun. He hasn't used his full power yet, and he loses to a mere weakling.
Kyo dismisses the special beam cannon and uses full power Kamehameha once again to push Garly into the sun and burn the Saiyan into ashes.

Koyuki and her guard stood frozen, their eyes wide with shock as they processed the chaotic scene before them. The fierce clash was over in mere moments, its brutality a stark testament to Ki's overwhelming strength overshadowing that of Chakra.
"We must help them—now," Koyuki urged, her voice a mixture of urgency and determination. The guard, his gaze still fixed on the aftermath of the battle, nodded resolutely, ready to follow her into the fray.
Zangya gracefully descends from the azure sky, her long hair cascading like a shimmering waterfall as she lands beside the weary girls. A radiant smile brightens her face as she exclaims, "Wow, guys, that's actually impressive!"
The intense battle has taken its toll; Naruko, Kakane, Satsuki, and Sakura collapse to their knees, breathless and exhausted, while Kyo stands firm, his presence a pillar of strength amidst the aftermath.
"Luckily, we didn't push Garly to his full power before he could do anything," Kyo remarks, a faint smile tugging at his lips, the corners of his eyes crinkling in relief.
"He underestimated us; he didn't unleash his full strength to finish us off, and that's where we found our victory," Kakane adds, her voice laced with a mix of fatigue and triumph as she lets out a long, weary sigh.
Kyo gazes up at the expansive sky, the remnants of battle swirling in his mind, while Naruko and Sakura survey the chaotic debris scattered around them.
"I can't believe how short the battle was, but it feels like I've been fighting for days," Naruko said, a hand rubbing her sore shoulder in a futile attempt to ease the ache.
"I agree. If we hadn't unlocked our Ki, I honestly don't think I could have helped you all," Sakura admits, still examining the devastation, her fingers instinctively massaging her hands as if trying to shake off the memories of the fight.
Satsuki, her deep eyes fixed on Kyo, breaks the silence. "Kyo-Kun, do you think we can get stronger?" Her voice, filled with curiosity and hope, echoes around them. But Kyo remains lost in thought, the weight of his own reflections holding him captive until Satsuki's voice pierces through—"KYO!"
Jerked back to reality, Kyo turns to Satsuki, his look of surprise morphing into a casual, "Yeah?"
"What are you thinking about?" Sakura asked gently, concern etched across her features.
"Nothing, but what did you say again, Satsuki?" Kyo questioned, his expression betraying his lack of focus.
Satsuki feels a flicker of annoyance at having to repeat herself, yet Kyo remains genuinely oblivious. "I asked, can we get stronger than this?"
Kyo's face lights up with a reassuring smile. "Yeah, you can. You all can."
"Then let's get stronger together!" Naruko proclaims, enthusiasm radiating from her. She beams with confidence, knowing the immense potential locked within their newfound abilities, a fusion of Ki and Chakra.
Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out, "Everyone! Are you okay?!"
They turn to see Koyuki and the others approaching, concern evident in their eyes. Naruko and Sakura wave enthusiastically at the queen, lifting their spirits.
"It seems your newest admirers have arrived, Kyo-Chan~," Kakane teases with a mischievous smirk, her eyes twinkling with amusement as Kyo stumbles, a flush creeping onto his cheeks.
"Don't say that, Kakane-Sensei; I have no idea if she even likes me," Kyo stutters, a bead of sweat forming on his brow. The girls exchanged exasperated glances, recognising Kyo's enduring obliviousness despite having more than ten girlfriends.
"Want to bet?" Zangya quips, a playful glint in her eyes.
Kyo exhaled a deep sigh, resigned. "Seriously? Not even a protest?"
"I'd like to, but when I realised you already have more than ten girlfriends, I stopped caring; honestly, as long as I have time with you," Naruko muses, a dreamy smile playing on her lips.
With a playful flicker in her gaze, Zangya envelops Kyo in a warm embrace from behind, her presence radiating comfort and mischief. Satsuki narrows her eyes with a mix of disapproval and jealousy as Zangya coos, "Don't worry, Darling, I'll make sure you'll only have one class full of girls and nothing more~."
"A class full of girls, and all of them are Kyo-Kun's girlfriends?" Naruko murmured thoughtfully, envisioning herself as one of the students, while Kyo stood at the front, a knowing smile on his face. "Yeah, I think having a classroom full of girls is plenty."
"Right?" Zangya replies, her radiant smile lighting up her features.
"Stop hugging, Kyo-Kun. Koyuki is here," Satsuki interjects, determination in her voice as she gently pries Kyo away from Zangya, who giggles at the playful exchange.

"Is anyone injured?" Koyuki inquired, her voice laced with concern. Her vigilant guard scanned the surroundings with watchful eyes.
"We're fine, probably just a little worn out," Kyo replied, a reassuring smile lighting up his face as the girls around him nodded in agreement.
Koyuki let out a sigh of relief, her posture relaxing. Then she murmured, "Thank you, Kami-Sama. We really should head back and rest."
"Absolutely! And I'm starving!" Naruko exclaimed, springing to her feet with infectious energy.
"I second that! My stomach is definitely growling," Kakane added, flashing an eye smile that hinted at his playful spirit.
Koyuki smiled warmly, a sense of camaraderie enveloping them like a blanket. She turned to her guards, her voice steady and assertive. "Guard, I will return to the castle with our heroes."
With that, she intertwined her arm with Kyo's left, while Satsuki quickly latched onto his other side. Naruko hugged him from the front, her playful pout contrasting with the determined gleam in her eyes. Behind them, Sakura encircled Kyo with her arms, ensuring their combined warmth enveloped him, while Kakane grasped his left shoulder, and Zangya held onto his right.
Feeling the weight of their affection, Kyo sighed with a mix of exasperation and fondness before summoning his chakra. In an instant, the world around them blurred, and with a flash of light, they teleported back to the castle, leaving their recent adventure behind them.
