Chapter 1:
The serine fields of Gaia greeted the morning sun. Flowers of brilliant colors spread their pedals and shed their pollen in the gentle breeze. The skies were vacant of clouds, allowing the sun to show all of her magnificence. Nearby, a farmer was starting his daily routine on his humble little barn; throwing hay into piles. As he threw more hay onto his stack, the farmer stopped to take a break, wiping the sweat produced by his labor off of his sun-burned forehead. The man sat down with a resounding thud (as he was quite hefty), placed his hat over his face, and began to nap; snoring loudly as time passed.
After the span of a few minutes, the farmer was startled by something. He heard a loud whistling noise coming from the expansive sky above. He removed his hat from his head and tilted his bearded face to the blue sky. What he saw was indescribable at first, but the object became clearer and louder with time. He saw what could be described as a ball of fire trailed by a white streak, gracefully dancing through the sky towards the horizon. The farmer whispered under his breath,
"What in the world? Is that a shooting star? No… that can't be right."
He slowly stood up, scratching his frizzy brown hair as he did. He watched the great ball of flame disappear behind the spanning horizon, and in the distance an echoing, powerful blast could be seen, drowning out the blue sky with a yellow haze until it finally died down. After a few seconds, the earth shook around the distressed farmer as the force of the explosion reached him. He struggled to maintain his balance, but he managed. He retreated within his abode, located his family's sword and wielded the blade. He ran back outside and hopped onto his steed, releasing her from her stable. He wore a stern look on his face, concerned that someone attacked his land with some kind of powerful magic.
He galloped to the scene, leaping off of his horse as he arrived at the crater. In the center of the massive crater was a peculiar metal ball, lined with blots and what appeared to be a window. The farmer inched closer and closer to the edge of the crater with his sword at the ready. All of a sudden, white steam was released from the ball, making a distinct hissing noise. The window slowly opened like the hatch of a submarine, hissing louder as it did. Inside the ball a figure could be seen, silhouetted by a red haze. The figure stood out of the ball and slowly hovered into the air, not moving a muscle, until it settled down right in front of the farmer (who was now trembling).
The figure became clearer as the red haze settled. It was what appeared to be a man. He had absurdly long, spiky black hair. He wore very bizarre yellow armor with large shoulder pads, and black spandex underneath the whole suit. On his left ear was a device of some kind that wrapped around to his eye, ending in a small glass screen with various foreign-looking symbols displayed. The look on his face could only be described as disappointment, as he stared at nothing in particular, completely ignoring the terrified farmer. The man said under his breath to no one in particular,
"Kakarot, why have you failed? Why haven't you carried out your mission?"
The farmer shouted shakely at the stranger and got his attention,
"Hey! Get off of… my property!"
The man smiled coolly, reaching his hand to the device on his ear. He clicked a little button and it started to beep wildly. A new set of symbols appeared on the eyepiece, and the man got a slightly concerned face. He said,
"Power level of 134? That's actually not half bad, but still nothing compared to me."
He chuckled quietly to himself as he approached the poor farmer, who was taking a step back for every step the mystery man took, still holding his sword at the ready. The farmer suddenly became agitated with the man's arrogance, and took a battle stance. The man also got into his own stance, one that resembled some kind of martial arts. The long haired man broke the silence,
"This should be good."
The man seemed to disappear to the farmer, who looked around frantically trying to find the man. The farmer heard something behind him and slashed his sword, spinning around to slice his enemy. The other man reached out his hand casually and caught the farmer's sword in between his middle and index fingers. The farmer was shocked and furious at the same time, who did this guy think he was? The farmer concentrated on the ground beneath his enemy, and channeled his energy into it. the device on the man's ear blinked and beeped sporadically, prompting the man to look down at his feet. He said,
"A power reading of 200, from the ground? This thing must be busted…"
The farmer suddenly shouted,
"GRINDING ROCK ATTACK!"
The other man looked up at him with a confused look for a few seconds, before the earth began to crack beneath him. Two pillars of grey rock sprouted up and trapped the mystery man between them. Then the rock started to glow white, and the farmer jumped away from the man, claiming back his sword. The two pillars sparked with furious energy, building up until their breaking point. The mystery man's device continued to blink with new symbols as he read,
"260; 300; 350; 400; it's over 400 and still rising!"
The rocks reached their breaking point, and exploded with concentrated energy, focused on their location. A huge plume of smoke was blown around, hiding the aftermath of such a mighty blast. As the debris cleared however, the mystery man stood there unharmed. He began to laugh maniacally as he stated to the farmer,
"That's a neat trick! Great for holding someone down. Too bad it loses almost all of its power when it blows! Now check out a real move!"
The farmer trembled uncontrollably with fear as he thought to himself,
"How… did… he stand up to that attack? He'd have to be really strong to brush that off like it was nothing!"
The mystery man's hand began to glow with a yellow energy, something that seemed completely unnatural to the farmer who appeared to rely on elemental based attacks. The man spoke,
"Now before you die, allow me to introduce myself so that you may know your opponent. My name is Raditz, a saiyan warrior; come to claim this little planet of yours. Now die!"
Raditz fired a yellow beam of pure energy that consumed the farmer, and when it disappeared, nothing was left of the farmer. Raditz smiled menacingly before clicking his little device again, saying,
"Hmm let's see… my scouter says that there is a particularly high power level in that direction, 20,000 units away from here."
Raditz jumped up high in the air and hovered for awhile, waiting for his "scouter" to pinpoint the location of his new target. He blasted off flying towards his goal saying,
"I'm coming for you, Kakarot!"
Power levels:
Farmer: 134
Farmer's grinding rock attack: 433
Raditz: 1,321
