During Vegeta's last stand against Frieza, the Prince of Saiyans ascends, becoming the first Super Saiyan of his era. History has been re-written...but to what degree? Edited by Davidstarlingm (Co-author).

Five long years of peace has followed the end of the Dragon Ball Z era. However, darkness oozes out from the cracks when an old enemy awakens ancient and almighty jewels that threaten the cosmos and force our heroes into action.

What if Raditz touched down in West City, instead of an empty field? An unlikely fighter has to face the odds and protect the city without Goku to back him up, wildly changing the destiny of the entire planet... and his own. This is his story.

Raditz finds himself outmatched when he comes to earth, due to a change in Goku's final battle against Piccolo five years earlier. Can Raditz find it within himself to become a hero alongside his brother, and rise to face Frieza, the androids, and more? Thanks to Nassif9000 for providing the cover image! Now with a TV Tropes page. (Yes, I regret 'Bills'. Super wasn't out yet okay)

During the battle with Raditz, Goku is injured too greatly to make the ultimate sacrifice in the battle for Earth's fate, leaving the door open for someone else to step in and be the hero. Follow this re-telling of DBZ where the Earthlings are the main focus of the story.
