Prologue
The Earth guardian had briefly felt it - a tiny but dark surge of energy heading straight toward Earth... or at least close from it. Thousands of kilometer away on a diminished island, so had a bald old man.
What's that ? Earth guardian and strongest man both felt a pinch to the heart.
Within seconds however it was gone, never to return. The spaceship flew past Earth, grazing the atmosphere but not entering it. The pod instead bounced on the atmosphere with the trajectory curving... straight into the sun. The pod and its unfortunate passenger were vaporized by the intense heat in a fraction of second.
Kami and Roshi never knew it, but the sayan pod carried a baby named Kakarot, the son of Bardock killed fighting Frieza in the now destroyed planet Vegeta. When evil Frieza, laughing hysterically, released a crushing ball of energy straight into planet Vegeta core, he did not realized the massive explosion disturbed the trajectory of a fast fleeing pod.
