Humbled

Piccolo tried his best to conceal his Ki but it was far too late. He could already hear the loud sonic booms of the rapidly approaching. He attempted to get to the ground but the moment he did, he was stopped by two flying and talking catastrophes.

"You…" Said Vegeta.

All that Piccolo could do was curse the heaven above for his luck.

He was paralyzed with fear.

"You're a Namek… ``What are you doing on this planet?" Said Vegeta as he glared at the green man.

"..." Not a single word was able to escape his mouth. How could he even open his jaw if he felt like if he breathed the wrong way, there was a possibility that he would be consumed?

"Green Bean… He's talking to you." Said Nappa, snapping Piccolo out of his stupor.

"..." But unfortunately for Piccolo, he didn't know how to answer his question. He knew nothing of his origin. He had no idea what a Namek was. As far as he was concerned, he was a fellow earthling that just so happened to be a demon.

"Nevermind that. A more important question. I'm looking for a Saiyan by the name of Kakarot. Have you seen him? He has a tail just like ours and has hair that goes against gravity."

Vegeta said, pointing to his head.

Hair that went against gravity? A tail? Only one person came to his mind. Goku. What on earth could he have done to gain the attention of such individuals.

"No… I-I don't know anyone by that name." He struggled to get the words out. The amount of Ki that these two had was enough to quack the heart of the strongest man in the universe.

He could barely maintain the use of all five senses. Heck, he could barely stand.

"He must be the other power level that we found." Whispered Nappa.

Vegeta nodded.

"Very well. You, Slug-man. Don't intrude on us if you value your life. Don't think for a second that I will hesitate to kill you along with every living being on this tiny and pathetic planet." Said Vegeta as he and Nappa blasted off into the distance.

There Piccolo stood… motionless. It was as if his ego had been murdered on the spot and his boy had entered rigamortis… but the only thing that was killed today was his ego.

He thought that with all his training that he had reached a level of power where no one would be able to touch him… He thought that the only other combatant on the planet capable of standing up against him would be Goku.

In all fairness, he was almost correct. Besides Djin and Ice, No one on earth besides Goku was his equal… Goku. His Rival. His sworn enemy… His friend.

Now, the threat of gods had presented itself. He now realized how truly small he was. He was nothing in the grand scheme of things besides a spec of sand on the ocean floor. What was he to do? Who was he to call?

No one… He along with the planet was doomed if the two beings by the name of Vegeta and Nappa chose.

With the realization of how weak he was, Piccolo fell to his knees with his palms facing the sky.

Hypothetical after hypothetical played in his head. Maybe if he had been focused on training instead of slouching… perhaps he would have had a chance… nono. Piccolo had spent all 8 years of his life training… Maybe he should have taken guidance from someone. Perhaps that would have made him stronger.

He even stooped so low as to question if the dragon balls would have given him the chance to defeat his enemies.

Needless to say, he was humbled.

Kame House

Launch, Bluma, Gohan, and Oolong had all rushed inside of Kame house at the demand of Goku. They stood on the second floor peeking out the window for oncoming danger.

Goku and Krillin readied themselves for what was arriving as Master Roshi sat down, waiting for whatever to happen. Whatever was coming was inevitable… Just like death.

Like a wild thunderstorm, Raditz was coming right from the northern side of the island.

For the first time in his life, Goku felt fear. He had everything to lose. His son, and all of his friends that he had known since a child.

Krillin was consumed by pressure. So much so that his head shone bright enough to blind oncoming planes.

"Goku… What do we do?"

Krillin asked in a whisper. He wanted to make sure that no one on the inside was able to hear the fear within him.

"I wish I knew to tell you the truth… All I know for sure is that this looks bad. Real bad." Said Goku in a hushed serious tone.

As they anticipated the enemy's arrival, everything went silent. It was like the calm before the earth-ending storm.

"Kakarot… I've finally found you." Raditz said.

He came from the far north but somehow managed to get behind them without anyone knowing.

'What incredible speed!" Roshi thought.

Goku promptly turned around to see a man who was almost a foot taller than him.

"Who are you? And who is Kakarot."

"I can't believe this… you look exactly like our father… It's sickening."

Raditz didn't exactly have the most stellar relationship with his father, but a father he was.

"You have grown… Quite a bit too."

He then took a few steps forward putting everyone on the defensive.

"Mother would be proud… but also extremely disappointed by that extremely low power level. " He said while stopping in place.

"Wait… Kakarot! Where's your tail!"

He asked in alarm.

"First off, my name is not this Kaka-whatever. My name is Goku. And my tail was removed a long time ago."

"Removed?! Brother, do you not realize the power that the Saiyan tail brings us? By getting it removed, you've lost 50% of your combat potential! It's no wonder your power level is so pathetic."

"H-Hey, now I don't know who you are… or where you come from… but this place is not somewhere you should be. You seemed rather civilized so I'm gonna have to ask you nicely to leave." Krillin stated as he walked closer to Raditz.

"Hmm?" Raditz finally noticed Krillin and Roshi. Most of all, he notice how close the bald man was getting

"Oh? It's a little bald bug next to me. Let me get rid of it."

Raditz then unfurled his tail, raising it in the air

As Krillin got closer, so did his doom.

"*splat*"

With a mighty swing, Krillin's head was removed from his shoulders in a bloody explosion that painted Roshi's house which caused everyone's jaw to be in awe. Blood splotches had even managed to smudge red polka dots on his shades.

Goku's eyes went wide with shock. His lips began to quiver as reality started to set in.

Krillin's body slowly began to succumb to gravity as blood started to gush out of the hole his head once was.

Everyone in the Kame house was speechless including the young Gohan who had only just started to live life and never experienced death. No one could even react in time to shield the boy's eyes. How could they when they couldn't even shield their own.

Before, All the Z fighters had depended on Goku to solve all of their problems, but now, they had the awareness of a monster like Radtiz existing.

"Kri-kri…"

Goku stuttered. His best friend that he had formed hundreds of memories with had just been murdered before his very eyes, violently and grotesquely.

"Ah… Now that the pest is gone, allow me to continue the conversation… Kakarot. Explain to me why you didn't use your ape form to eradicate the population of this planet?"

"Kri-kri."

"It makes no sense to me. Last time I checked, this planet has a fully functioning moon."

Moon? An ape form? Things were now starting to click in the head of Master Roshi, Bulma, and Oolong. They knew of this mysterious transformation that the man was referring to. This was none other than the form that Goku was once able to transform into as a child. The one that had put all their lives in jeopardy in the past.

Was this man… No, a monster capable of ascending to that level? No one besides Goku and Roshi could sense Ki… Yet that all felt the enormous pressure permitting off of Goku's so-called brother.

"This leads me to a couple of conclusions. The one that is most likely is that you bumped your head as a child... In which case, maybe I should knock some sense into you. Maybe more impacts would knock your head into place…" He said as he walked over to Goku slowly.

"You killed KRILLIN!!!" Goku screamed as he launched forward with a large spike in his power level. He was enraged. The most irrational he had even been. How could he not be?

Krillin had already been bought back once with the Dragon balls. He couldn't be bought back again. No matter how much he begged Kami.

From his perspective, the man in front of him claiming to be his brother just robbed him of all of the good times he recalled in his memory… And he would have to pay.

"I'll kill you!!!" With a mighty roar, Goku launched himself at Raditz like a speeding bullet with the goal of punching him into the stratosphere.

His movements looked invisible to all onlookers… But to his brother, they looked to be nothing more than the fumbling motions of a child who had just learned to walk.

With ease, Raditz caught Goku's propelling fist in mid-motion. He had a smile of malicious intent written across his face.

Noticing his punch had failed, Goku attempted to knee Raditz in the sternum with all his might. To his dismay, his attack failed as Raditz halted the moment of his knee and grabbed his leg with his tail.

"Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful." Radius said, shaking his head in disappointment. With his tail and his hand, he began to squeeze down on the hand and leg of Goku with more and more intensity.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!" Goku screamed with an eardrum-shattering howl of pain.

Attempting to break free, Goku used his free hand in an attempt to distract Raditz from his other limbs.

"*boom boom boom*"

With three powerful punches, Goku hit Raditz on the bridge of his nose with all of the strength that he could muster.

Goku could punch through steel as if it was paper and yet, hitting Raditz only managed to hurt himself causing him to break a few of his fingers and popping all of his joints without Raditz moving in the slightest.

Raditz then grabbed Goku's remaining hand as well, then began to squeeze down, compressing his bones as if he was a hydraulic press.

"Ahhhhhhggggg!" Goku could do nothing but listen to the sounds of his bones being liquidated.

No one knew how to respond. They didn't have the power nor bravery.

"Kakarot… You've made a terrible miscalculation. You've thought yourself to be strong when you are nothing but the king of an anthill. You are nothing... Trash… Utter garbage that should be stepped on." He said as Goku was finally rendered immobile.

Raditz then let Goku drop to the ground like a dead fish. His hands and leg looked like deflated balloons.

Raditz then put his foot on his brother's neck, slowly draining him of life.

"You have probably never even dealt with a single hardship in your life… This planet has made you soft"

"Stop!" Screamed a child in the direction of the pink house. The child was fuming. Tears poured down his face but no fear was detected within him. Standing in the door frame was none other than Gohan with his tail fidgeting out of frustration.

'A tail?' Raditz thought.

"Could that be…" Raditz trailed off looking at Goku.

"That's your son isn't it?!"

"Hahahahaha! I can't believe you would stoop so low as to breed with ants, Kakarot. To think that out of all of them, this child would be the only one brave enough to stop me… Let me measure his pathetic power level."

He then clicked his scouter, measuring the odd child.

"What?!!" He noticed that Gohan's power level was skyrocketing. The readings on his scooter were going for double digits, to triple, to quadrupole.

"1,307?!" He shouted. As he did, the child had finally had enough of his blabbering.

"I said stop! Let go of my dad!"

Gohan then summoned his internal strength and managed to use his hidden Ki reserves.

He rocketed himself forward, cracking the ground beneath him.

He was moving 3 times the speed of what Goku was originally moving at, and to the surprise of everyone, slammed into Raditz's stomach, shattering his armor.

Unfortunately… Raditz was the exception to the surprise. Like with Goku, he saw everything happen in slow motion. The only reason he allowed Gohan to impact him the way he did was because he wanted to test the child's capabilities. To his surprise, they were very adequate.

Before? Gohan could recoil from his attack, Raditz held onto the child, stopping him from falling to the ground.

"Hey, Kid," Raditz called while holding Gohan upside down by his tail.

Gohan was a child raised by a family full of soft hearts. He had his eyes closed tightly to avoid the consequences that Raditz had in store. To this, Raditz simply flicked his nose to gain the child's attention.

"AHHH!!" Gohan held his face in pain, crying from the impact. To be fair, if Gohan was fully human the flick would have taken off his head.

"Shut the hell up before I do it again," Raditz started with a stern look.

Gohan tried his hardest to conceal his tears.

"Good boy… Listen here… That attack you did just now. It was very powerful. If I was a weakling with a power level of around 15 hundred, I would have been puking my guts out." Raditz stated while Gohan tried his hardest to remain calm in a hostile situation.

Although he was quite emotional due to his soft upbringing, the boy was not stupid. He knew when it was time to analyze a situation and when it was time to rebel.

"I think you'd make the perfect soldier for the Saiyan Empire."

"..." Gohan remained quiet while his tears fell to the ground. He stared at his broken father and tried his hardest to keep his emotions in check. He had taken note of what happened previously.

"Your father is weak… Me on the other hand, I'm not. I promise that if you come to our side willingly, I as your uncle will do my best to raise you. You'll never end up in such a sad and pathetic state like this one." He said while kicking Goku. Gohan couldn't stand the amount of disrespect that he was viewing.

"This trash right here barely deserves the right to be called a Saiyan. He wasn't even capable of completing a single mission." He kicked Goku with more power, breaking two ribs.

"My little brother here isn't even capable of taking care of his own son… Isn't that right Kakarot." He kicked again, breaking two more ribs causing Goku to scream in pain.

"I believe that you would-."

"That's not his name." The tears had stopped. Gohan was starting to get fed up with Raditz, in turn, interrupted.

"Excuse me?" Raditz.

"I said that's not his name," Gohan said with a frown.

"Oh… Ohhhohoho." Raditz began to laugh.

"Would you look at that Kakarot? This one has more spirit than you. I might as well take this one and leave you here to die. His potential is limitless compared to yours. With his power level, he's definitely an elite."

"That's not his name!" Gohan then focused all his energy into his mouth and shot a blast at the face of Raditz which caused him to lose grip, stepping back a few steps. Gohan's pride would not allow him to hear his father be disrespected any longer.

Gohan fell on the ground landing next to his father, not paying attention to Raditz.

"Dad… Dad. Are you okay?"

He said, shaking Goku.

"Go...han. Run… away." Goku uttered. All that he could think about was the safety of his child.

"And where would he go?" Gohan felt a cold sweat down his back as Raditz crouched down, whispering to the both of them.

"I'll cut you a deal little brother." He said while he grabbed Gohan by the back of the neck.

"If you manage to kill at least 1,000 people on this planet in the next 4 hours, I'll allow you to join us. You'll get your son back, and we'll leave this planet. If not, then I'll kill you along with every person you've grown to care about… with two being the exception." Goku's eyes shot open with fear at his brother's words.

"One… This little rat. Two… that woman who you decided to mate with. The reason being, I know for certain that she is capable of making powerful spawn. Perhaps, mine will come out stronger than yours." He chuckled. At his words… not only was Gohan enraged, but Goku as well.

"Don't you dare touch her," Goku stated while grinding his teeth.

"Oh… I'll do more than touch her… I'll use her as my personal baby-making tool. When she's outlived her usefulness… I'll kill her." He said with a smile that belonged to the devil himself.

"Don't touch my-"

"*wack*"

"That's enough out of you." He said, knocking Gohan unconscious.

"I'll give you 4 hours." With that, Raditz flew off into the sky.

Goku's mind rushed a mile a minute. Fear, hatred, and shock all consumed him. His main goal for today was to show his life-long friends his son that he had raised in secret. He wanted to surprise them with how much he had grown as a person… but all of that changed in a matter of 20 minutes.

He was now on the verge of losing everything.

Soon, everyone started to come to Goku's aid who now had tears of helplessness running down his face. Bulma was the first to speak.

"Goku… I'm… I'm sorry." She had tears coming down her face. Krillin was her close friend as well. To watch him die mere feet away from her was traumatizing, to say the least.

She held Goku's limp hand while Roshi had buried Krillin's body with a single tear coming down behind his shades. After he was finished, He walked up to the beaten Goku.

"Goku… These were on Krillin's body when he was…"

"*sigh*"

"When he passed on... Please eat one." Roshi said as he slowly fed Goku a Senzu bean.

As he began to chew, Great strength started to return to his body. His muscles and bones healed in a matter of seconds… But even if he was healed… he was hurt.

For a while... They all had mourned…

.

.

.

An hour later, Goku and Roshi felt several Kis approaching their direction. Walking outside the Kame house, they found that Yamcha, Piccolo, Tien, and Chiaozu had arrived.

Stepping forward, Tien began to speak.

"We sensed an immense Ki coming in the direction of you and Krillin. We were on our way until we encountered Piccolo. He told us that two aliens with tails had confronted him with enough power to be a threat to the planet."

"Yeah…" Goku looked down with a grim expression.

"Hey. I get that they're strong, but together, perhaps there is a possibility that we can take them!" Yamcha said with enthusiasm… If he only knew how wrong he was.

"Even with all of us… We won't stand a chance." Piccolo stated.

"What do you mean?" Tien asked.

"You've seen it too… haven't you Goku… you too, old man." He said, referring to Roshi. They didn't answer.

"No. We can pull through this guys. We've been through thicker than this. These guys should be no problem for us. With Krillin's help, we should be able-" Goku stopped Yamcha from speaking.

"Stop… There is no Krillin." Goku said, shutting his eyes as hard as he could.

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah! We sensed his energy on the way here. Is he in the house or-" Chiaotzu was interrupted.

"Shut up you idiot. Look around… You notice something?" The remainder of the Z fighters did as Piccolo asked.

"Wait…" Tien said.

"Look at the walls… There's no doubt that you sensed the Qball a little while ago… but the writings on the wall. Literally, in this instance." He pointed to Roshi's bloody house.

"No… No."

"Now you get it."

"But… But he was already bought back with the Dragon balls!" Yamcha said while falling to his knees.

Reality had sunk in for everyone.

"What do we do? They're literally monsters."

"Well… Even with the help of the hyperbolic time chamber, There isn't enough time."

Said Goku. With it, a day was a year. A year wasn't enough to face off against these monsters.

"All we can do… is go down swinging." Said Piccolo.

It only took a moment for all to agree. That lived the lives of warriors. And today, They were gonna die fighting like men.

Z… The last letter of the alphabet… representing the end. All of theirs was today. It was poetic.

.

.

.

In a wasteland with strange rock monuments stood 3 Saiyans against 4 humans and 1 of their own.

"Ah… You must be Kakarot." Vegeta stated.

"My name is Goku… I was raised on this planet and will fight my hardest to protect it."

Said Goku, stepping forward.

"Vegeta. Allow me to take care of them." Said Raditz.

"Go ahead… I don't want to dirty my hands. Just make it quick. We've been on this planet for far too long already." With the go-ahead, Raditz smiled like a child on Christmas

One after another the Z Fighters fell. First, Raditz approached faster than any of them could process and latched on to Chiaotzu's entire head with his hand and squeezed, splattering all of his brain matter onto his allies.

This action enraged Tien, causing him to retort with a Dodon ray aimed directly at the head of the Saiyan, which was easily dodged, causing him to be the next target.

In a panic, Tien attempted to fly up into the sky in hopes to use a solar flare but before could even take off, Raditz grabbed him by the ankle, slamming him into Piccolo, who was attempting to charge up a Special-Beam-Cannon.

Yamcha at this point had powered up a Spirit ball from above while Goku and Roshi were charging up a master student Kamehameha. They had managed to launch their attacks successfully, but Raditz countered instantly with his own with two pink Ki blasts dubbed Saturday Crash. The one that he shot into the sky completely penetrated Yamcha's Ki blast, Vaporizing the man before he even got the chance to consider fleeing. His blood rained down onto his comrades staining their clothes red.

They all became enraged.

Tien then flew up into the sky and started to charge a deadly attack. While he did, Roshi, Goku, And Piccolo engaged Raditz in physical combat. Goku's goal was to grab onto his tail. As a child, he remembered it being his greatest weakness as the others attempted to distract with punches and kicks.

As Raditz ducked and weaved all the juvenile attacks coming towards him, he noticed that his brother had grabbed onto his tail… doing absolutely nothing to him. He had trained far beyond the point to where such a pitiful scheme was worthless.

With his tail, He flung Goku so hard that he crashed into a far-off mountain range, temporarily being knocked out.

Piccolo then shaped his fingers to look dagger-like and aimed directly for Raditz's eyes, attempting to blind him. But Raditz saw his attempt coming from a mile away and moved his head effortlessly to the left and smiled.

Raditz grabbed Piccolo by the wrist, then chopped his arm off completely with his free hand, shooting purple blood in the eyes of Master Roshi. Stunned by pain, Raditz then chopped Piccolo's other arm off. Then, grabbing him by his neck, Raditz put his palm on Piccolo's chest and launched another Saturday crash which disintegrated Piccolo's entire chest cavity. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as his soul left this realm.

Master Roshi had cleaned the burning acidic blood from his eyes just in time to witness the death of his once enemy.

He then tried to jump back to recover but before he could, he was grabbed by his goatee.

Raditz put his hand on the shoulder of the man, keeping him in place.

"G...Goku!!!" He screamed with a Ki empowered throat.

Then, with one mighty pull, He ripped Master Roshi's head off with his spinal cord still connected.

'Wasn't there another?'

Raditz thought.

Then, his scouter started to go haywire.

1k 2k 3k 4k.

He looked up to see a sweating Tien who had witnessed everything.

"Ah… There you are you little-" He mumbled while tossing the corpse of Master Roshi to the side.

"Tri-beam!" Tien screamed.

A paralyzing beam struck down on Raditz. The attack didn't hurt… It was more of an annoying sting to the Saiyan.

"Tri-beam!"

"Tri-beam!"

"Tri-beam!"

"Tri-beam!"

"Tri-beam!"

"Tri-beam!"

This went on for 47 more blasts. As they went on, The stunning effect grew less and less effective. Not only that but the more energy the triclops exhausted, the closer Raditz closed the distance between them.

"I'm sorry everyone… in the end, I could'nt-"

Before he could finish, Raditz had ripped all three eyeballs out of his skull.

Tien didn't scream… he didn't holler. He was already dead. His attack had taken away all of his life's energy.

"Filthy little bugs… why couldn't they die faster?" He asked as he was so soaked in blood. His body was all red from his head to his toe.

"Ahhhhhhh!!" From a distance, Goku came flying in like a jet. He had realized that all of his friends had died and that he was the sole survivor.

As he was about to make contact with his fist, he noticed that he was being flung into the air and had a copper-tasting liquid in his mouth.

Raditz leaned back, dodging his attack, sending him into the air with a mountain toppling kick to the stomach.

For a moment Goku's vision became blurry. In that brief instant, he lost the position of his brother. Before he could even think about scanning the area, he was hit with a mighty sledgehammer to the back, sending him to the earth like a comet from the skies.

"*BOOM*" Creating a giant crater, Goku's spine had served, breaking into two. He couldn't feel anything from the waist down. Struggling to lift his head, he saw Vegeta, Nappa, and his crying son staring directly at him.

"Go-Go-Gohan… I… I… love you." He struggled to speak while raising his arm to his son.

Then, Raditz came crashing down next to him, flipping him over.

"You see Kakarot. If it weren't for you being so incompetent, maybe your friends would have survived."

"*boom*"

With a heavy fist, Raditz broke Goku's nose.

"Maybe your planet wouldn't have been doomed!"

"*boom*"

Goku's head bounced off of the ground like a plastic ball.

"Maybe if you weren't weak, you wouldn't have arrived at this situation."

"*boom*"

His head bounced once more.

"*boom*"

This time, his skull bounced higher.

"Maybe if you took pride in your Saiyan heritage, the remainder of your people wouldn't have been enslaved."

"*boom*"

"That's enough Raditz!"

Demanded Vegeta.

"Is it? Or is it striking a little too close to home, dog!" Yell Raditz.

He had just made a fatal mistake.

Vegeta took flight, slowly lowering himself in the pit.

"Our goal in coming to this planet was to recruit more Saiyans to our empire… Not to indulge in debauchery. You are deprived. Arrogant… And depraved. You need to be taught your place. You forget because you gained a little bit of power that you are a low-class dog." He got closer and closer to Raditz without raising his voice.

"The only difference between you and him is that he lacks experience… but what he doesn't lack is discipline. Unlike you." Now they were face to face. Raditz was now terrified. His venomous moth had got him in trouble once more… but unlike before, he wasn't going to get beat verbally.

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

"*boom*"

Raditz was beaten… terribly.

At the lookout

Ice and I had just finished our training. We had grown stronger by leaps and bouts. For what reason? Because strength in this universe was everything. I wanted my son and me to be prepared for anything that came in our direction.

"Ahhh…. So. How do you feel?" I asked Ice as I stretched, popping my back.

"Well… exhausted… but also refreshed. But what's even stranger is the fact that… I'm kind of hungry for more."

"Well… that just means that you're my son. You have my blood running through you."

"Ah…" He said, looking down at his fist, clenching with newfound power coursing through his veins.

"So… Now that we're out. Where is the friend you wanted to introduce me to?"

"Right. Let me see." Using the art of far-seeing, I searched the planet… What I found caused me to metaphorically sweat.

'Where the fuck is WestCity?'

Only a crater had been left in its place.

'Wait a minute.' I sensed all power levels on the planet… and to my surprise, One as big as 100k had made itself known.

There were two more in its general vicinity. One was 20k and another that was 40k.

"I was gone for 3 fuckin days…" I mumbled in disbelief.

"What's wrong Dad?" Ice asked in concern.

"It's some guardian business. Can you wait here while I go get your new friend?"

"Uh… yeah. I don't really have anywhere else to go." He retorted.

"Good." I smiled, putting my hand on his head.

Then, I teleported to the battlefield.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Arriving in an instant, I saw dead bodies of iconic characters, scattered around a gigantic hole in the ground. As I stood across the hole, I saw a crying Gohan who looked like the world was crashing down on him, and a gigantic Nappa standing by his side.

Examining the situation further, I saw a Tien with his eyeballs removed, a headless Master Roshi, a dead Chiaotzu, the severed arms of Piccolo, and the remains of either Goku, Krillin, Or Yamcha's clothes.

Walking up to the crater, I shouted gaining the attention of all.

"What the fuck is going on here!"

I was pissed. This is not how I wanted my Sunday to turn out.

Nappa and Vegeta looked at me in shock.

They had never expected another Saiyan to arrive.

They were speechless.

"Who killed all of these people and destroyed WestCity?" I yelled. Whoever was responsible was irredeemable. I wouldn't allow them to live another day. Somehow, The story had to change up more than I thought possible. The butterfly effect was already making itself known.

Vegeta looked confused. He didn't remember blowing up any cities and so, he looked to Nappa who had the same confused look on his face… then they both looked at the bloody body of Raditz.

"That's all I needed to know."

From my spot, I teleport directly to Vegeta, Raditz, and Goku.

From Vegeta's bloody gloves, I concluded that he was disciplining a disobedient underling… and so, I decided to take it a step further. I grabbed Raditz by the wrist, teleported out of the crater, Then flung him into the air. I then quickly formed a Saturn ball in my hand, propelling it at the flying Raditz, Vaporizing him instantaneously. I did this all before Vegeta, Nappa, or anyone else could get a word in.

"You two… Why are you on my planet." I demanded to know. Gohan, Vegeta, and Nappa all had looks of awe on their faces.

Nappa's because of fear.

Vegeta's because of confusion.

Gohan's because of hope.
