The sky rumbled with thunder, and lightning flashed as the earth withered away, its life force rapidly draining.
"State your wish," a deep and commanding voice echoed.
"Shenron, please bring Goku back!" Achilobe pleaded anxiously.
"Goku isn't on Earth? What's going on?" Renkai asked, immediately intrigued.
Achilobe had initially intended to keep the details to himself, but seeing that this Shenron was unlike any other and wouldn't grant his wish unless he cooperated, he had no choice but to explain.
In a hurried tone, Achilobe recounted the entire situation.
After the Saiyans attacked Earth and Vegeta was defeated by Son Goku, the protagonist group departed for Namek. During their absence, Dales arrived with his minions and planted the seeds of the Spirit Tree, draining the planet's life force.
With the Earth's fate hanging by a thread, the group on Namek was locked in battle against Frieza's forces, unable to return in time. Their only hope was to use the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and bring Goku back. However, since Piccolo had died protecting Son Gohan, Earth's Dragon Balls had become inert stones.
Just when all seemed lost, a set of unknown Dragon Balls suddenly appeared. Desperate, Achilobe gathered them and summoned Renkai.
"So, things turned out differently from the original timeline… He actually stole my home," Renkai muttered, quickly piecing everything together.
"Now, can you bring Goku back to Earth?" Achilobe urged.
"That's simple."
A bold idea crossed Renkai's mind.
In the next moment, a bright golden light flashed, and suddenly, little Goku appeared in front of Achilobe.
Seeing Goku return, Achilobe was not overjoyed. Instead, his eyes nearly popped out in shock.
Goku had only left Earth recently—so why did he look like a child again?!
"Shenron, what is this?!" Achilobe exclaimed.
Before he could receive an answer, Renkai's massive form dispersed into golden light, and the seven Dragon Balls scattered once more across the world.
"Where is this place? Who are you?" little Goku asked, his eyes filled with confusion as he glanced around the unfamiliar surroundings and then at the unfamiliar Achilobe.
He had been training at Bulma's home when he was suddenly transported here.
"Goku, weren't you eager to fight a master? This time, I guarantee you'll get the battle you want!"
A handsome young man, wearing sleek glasses, exuding confidence and maturity, approached with a smirk.
"Brother, you're here too!" Little Goku beamed.
Meanwhile, Achilobe was looking around nervously, as if searching for an escape route. Seeing Renkai wearing a combat power detector similar to Dales and his minions, he immediately mistook him for an enemy.
Renkai, however, paid no mind to Achilobe. The man was insignificant. From him, Renkai had only acquired the useless skill of sword drawing—a small reward for fulfilling his wish.
"Let's take a look at the combat power of Dales and his lackeys."
Renkai pressed a button on his scouter.
Beep—beep—beep!
Renkai: Combat Power 50,700 Son Goku: Combat Power 5,950 Achilobe: Combat Power 970 Unknown: Combat Power 34,000 Unknown: Combat Power 13,000 Unknown: Combat Power 9,100 Unknown: Combat Power 8,400 Unknown: Combat Power 7,600 Unknown: Combat Power 7,600
There was no doubt—the one with 34,000 combat power had to be Dales.
Renkai smirked and casually exhaled a puff of smoke. "With that level of power, Goku can wipe them out easily with 10x Kaio-ken."
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Tree…
A muscular, dark-skinned Saiyan, clad in battle armor, reacted to his scouter's alert.
Beep—beep—beep!
Unknown: Combat Power 50,700 Unknown: Combat Power 5,950
Dales' eyes widened in shock. "A warrior with a combat power of 50,000 on this weak planet?!"
But as he continued to observe, the scouter recalibrated.
Unknown: Combat Power 5,070 Unknown: Combat Power 5,950
Dales sighed in relief. "Damn scouter must've glitched—I thought for a second there was a real threat."
Still, two opponents with combat levels over 5,000 had appeared. The Spirit Fruits were close to ripening—he couldn't afford any interference.
"Armondo, Dez, eliminate them immediately," Dales ordered his subordinates.
The two warriors saluted and took off. With their strength, taking down two measly fighters should be no trouble.
Back with Renkai and Goku…
Renkai chuckled. "If I hadn't suppressed my power, Dales wouldn't have dared send only two men. How thoughtful of him—one for me, one for Goku?"
Little Goku clenched his fists excitedly. "Brother, I sense two strong, evil presences coming! They must be powerful masters!"
"Goku, let's go! We only have 24 hours in this world," Renkai reminded him, soaring into the sky.
Little Goku followed without hesitation.
As for Achilobe—he had already bolted, hiding in some unknown place, avoiding the battle.
Halfway through their flight, two figures intercepted them.
"Stop right there!"
A pair of armored aliens stood proudly in their path.
"I'm Armondo, and this is Dez! We're here to take your lives!"
Dez sneered. "Tch, Armondo, our boss is overestimating these two weaklings. I could kill them both myself!"
Armondo scowled. "No way! We came all this way, I'm not missing out on the fun."
"Fine, one for each of us," Dez agreed.
"I'll take the Saiyan brat. The Earthling is yours."
Armondo turned his gaze toward little Goku, targeting the one with the highest visible power level.
"No complaints from me," Dez chuckled.
Renkai smirked. "Goku, did you notice the environment while we flew here? This destruction—they're the ones responsible. When we fight, don't hold back!"
"It was them?!" Goku's face darkened in anger. "I won't forgive them!"
"Heh, what can a little runt like you do?" Armondo sneered before lunging forward, landing a solid punch into Goku's stomach.
The force sent little Goku flying back, his face contorted in pain.
The battle had begun.
