1. The New Threat

The New Threat

Earth has been at peace for a long time ever since Goku defeated Piccolo at the World Martial Arts Tournament. Ever since then, life has been rather quiet for Goku. Until one fateful day...

Somewhere at a farm, a farmer was working on his crops in the hot sun. Suddenly, above him flies a huge falling object, which crashes not far from his farm. The farmer decides to investigate what that was.

He drives his truck to the crater the flying object made, and grabs his shotgun. He walks a little ways towards the crater to see what's inside. In the crater, he finds a sphere-shaped space ship.

Suddenly, the ship opens up, revealing an alien with huge black hair, and armor of some kind. The farmer looks at the alien nervously.

"So, the creatures on this planet are still alive. Kakarot has failed us." said the alien.

The farmer points his shotgun at the alien. "You're on my property."

"Is that so?" The alien presses a button on a device on his face while facing the farmer. "Hmm...your power level is puny. Ha. Level Five." The alien advances on the farmer.

"Don't you come any closer! Look, I'll use this thing!" said the farmer. He fires his shotgun at the alien. "Huh?"

The alien manages to catch the bullet easily. "Hmm..."

The alien flicks the bullet back at the farmer. The farmer screams in terror as the bullet flies back at him, hurling him backwards and killing him.

"Heh. What a fragile breed of people." said the alien. He then takes to the skies, revealing he can fly.

Meanwhile, in a desert waste land, Piccolo is meditating while staring off into the distance. Suddenly, he senses a power so great that it exceeds his.

"Huh? What is that? I've never felt so much power!" he said in amazement. "It can't be Goku, it's too horrible! Huh! Who is that?"

The alien from before lands in front of Piccolo. "Excuse me for dropping in. I'm trying to find a man named Kakarot. I thought you were him." said the alien.

"Well you thought wrong." Piccolo said. "Now turn around and get outta here before I get angry."

"Someone's having a bad day."

"Believe me you have no idea. Now get lost!"

"Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?" said the alien, giggling. He uses the device on his face to check Piccolo's power level. "Power level three hundred and twenty two. I can tell you're not from this planet, but you'd be a fool to attack me...with such an insufficient power." The alien laughs in Piccolo's face.

"Now, listen to me. You came here. I have no intention of starting a fight."

"I do."

Piccolo growls in anger. "Alright, if that's the way he wants it!" Piccolo blasts the alien full force. Breathing hard, he feels proud of himself. "Huh?"

But when the smoke clears up, the alien appears to be unscathed. The alien laughs in amusement.

"Impressive. You actually managed to singe some of my leg hair." said the alien.

Piccolo stares in amazement at how the alien didn't get destroyed.

"But allow me to demonstrate a more effective attack." said the alien. "It's one of my favorites. I call it a double sunday. Now, see if you can follow this one."

Suddenly, the device on the alien's face indicates another power level. "Well, I guess it's your lucky day green man." The alien flies away.

Up in the sky, the alien looks to the direction of where the huge power level came from.

"There it is." said the alien to himself. "Just on the edge of my scouter's range. And it's big. It must be the largest power level on this planet. It's Kakarot. This time I'm sure."

Back at the wasteland, Piccolo looks in the direction of where the alien flew off to in amazement.

"I don't believe it." he said to himself, breathing hard. "I hit him full force and he didn't even flinch. This guy could be a problem."

Back with the alien, as he is flying towards the direction of the huge power level, he starts talking to himself.

"Have you forgotten your pride Kakarot." he said. "We are Saiyans, the mightiest warriors in the universe. I can still remember the day that we first sent you to this planet as an infant. We had high hopes for you then Kakarot, why have you not carried out your mission? Kakarot!"

The alien continues to fly in the direction of the huge power level that he presumes is the man he called Kakarot.
