Chapter One
The Stranger vs. Piccolo
A green man with pointy ears and antennae on his forehead was wailing on a man with a wild hairdo while a beautiful woman watched from the sidelines with worry and concern as the wild haired man was lifted, then slammed into the arena stage.
"Goku won't last much longer against Piccolo," she gasped, realizing Piccolo's goal was not to beat Goku, but to kill him.
Piccolo flew up and readied his Explosive Demon Wave at Goku when suddenly, a figure landed and deflected the blast. The woman, Goku, and Piccolo all looked at the figure with surprise.
Piccolo regained his composure.
"Who the hell are you?" he snapped, "How dare you interfere?"
The figure turned to Goku and spoke in a deep, mechanical voice (A/N: For his voice, just think of Darth Vader).
"Step back Kakarott," said the figure, "This is my fight now."
"What did you just call me?" asked Goku.
The figure stripped his crimson cape off and got into stance.
Piccolo chuckled.
"Insolent fool," he said, "You do not know who you're dealing with."
"Funny," replied the figure, "I believe it's the other way around."
"Cocky fool," snarled Piccolo.
He held his palm out and launched another Explosive Demon Wave. When the smoke cleared, the stranger was not in sight. Piccolo chuckled.
"A little premature to celebrate," drawled a voice.
"Huh?" said Piccolo.
He looked up to see the stranger floating above him, looking down with his arms crossed.
"You pathetic little..." snarled Piccolo.
He flew up and threw a punch, only to hit thin air.
"What the?..." snapped Piccolo.
"Over here dumbass," called a voice.
Piccolo spun around to face The Stranger and tried to kick, only to hit thin air again.
"What are you, standing still?" said a voice below.
Piccolo looked down and tried to ram The Stranger. He hit thin air again. Piccolo heard a whistle. He looked and the Stranger kicked him in the face, knocking him into the arena stage. Piccolo got up shakily as The Stranger landed. He pointed his finger at Piccolo.
"Bang," he said.
A pink laser went through Piccolo's heart. Piccolo spat out an egg as he went down.
"And so evil dies," snarled The Stranger.
"Ehrm, The winner?" said the Announcer.
He tried to present the prize Zeni to The Stranger. He shook his head.
"Give it to them," he said pointing to Goku and the woman.
The announcer did as he was told.
"Thanks for the generosity and saving me," said Goku, "But who are you?"
The Stranger looked at him, then at the lady.
"Live happily with Chi-Chi, Kakarott," said The Stranger, "She is a good woman."
With that, The Stranger flew off, not to be seen again until many years later. Goku watched, wondering why he was called Kakarott while at the same time, Chi-Chi was bewildered as to how he knew her name...
