Five years have passed from the defeat of Piccolo at the world martial arts tournament, Goku no longer took practice as he had two rivals to always test himself on now. Piccolo sought out his death and would not accept anything more than a direct duel of superiority to prove himself better. Tarble on occation would come down from the heavens, or Goku would visit him up in the lookout to see if their strengths were keeping on par. Goku mentioned Bulma's invention, a room that allows for gravity training. Tarble instead took time to learn and master new or lost techniques using the Pendulum room, which kept him from being held back and kept up with Goku's progress. The last few years though, reduced his ability to train as he helped Yurin grow stronger as well, though her magic helped mitigate this. Tarble now wearing an earring made by Yurin that magically placed resistance on every movement he made.

But today, Goku was beginning a small practice with his almost five-year-old son. Gohan obtained an appreciation for training, still too young to determine if he liked to fight or not. But the young man was showing more promise than Goku at his age, and his father recognized this. Bulma as well, but she remarked that she would not allow him to be just like Goku and would have to make sure to go to school and get good grades. Bulma realized she was a hypocrite as she often skipped out on school, having a brilliant mind enough to not worry.

Off in an open farmland, a familiar pod falls to the ground. Raditz stepped free from his pod, waking from stasis and confronted by a human. The Saiyan mocked the strength and easily killed the simply farmer. Raditz then checks his scouter, chiming as it found a few higher power levels. His scouter chimed and found three high levels compared to the planet. Unsure which to pursue, he simply chooses the closest and headed toward Piccolo.

In the wastelands, the young demon tried to regain his lost strength. A battle between himself and Tarble found that his training had brought him above the warrior if not just barely. But before he could defeat his opponent and work on defeating Goku, His witch friend had placed a curse on him of sorts. Now the demon's body had markings to show his containment was his own body now. His total strength reduced by a fourth and making him once again weaker then Tarble and Goku.

But today his training was interrupted by a visitor, Piccolo feeling the power of someone approach. The exchange between Raditz and Piccolo is slightly different though. In this, Raditz sees the green man as a good warm up after a deep sleep. The two having a small spar for Radirz, Piccolo saw it as an attempt to survive. Raditz only stopped as the scouter informed him of the other power levels once more, but this time they were on the move. Because the scouter Raditz wears in the show at first confused two power levels being one at a great distance, his scouter seeing one at slightly greater and rushed for that option. Piccolo spared but left badly injured.

Raditz soon found his brother finally, seeing that he placed himself with another high power level for this world. He soon lands to the beach, Goku placed himself between the visitor and his child and old master (Krillin not staying with Master Roshi at this time). Raditz unveils the truth that Goku is his brother, and that their purpose is to capture and sell planets to buyers. He makes his demand to Goku, who refuses. Raditz's scouter showed him that Gohan had a decent power level at even. Raditz worked quick to overwhelm his brother and kidnapped Gohan, giving his ultimatum of killing one hundred humans by tomorrow or he would be saying good bye to Gohan. Goku tried to stand and stop his brother but he was too quick. The team of Goku and Piccolo being made, Goku worried why Tarble had not arrived yet.

Tarble though had realized the sudden powerful being showed themselves. One that felt immensely more powerful than anyone they faced so far. He ended his practice sparring with Yurin, Kami asking if he would be going to check things out. When Tarble confirms this, Kami advises Yurin to provide him one of the sealing tags, to help him in battle if the opponent shows to be too powerful.

Tarble then took to the sky and flew as the stranger moved himself. Instead of trying to cut off the unknown entity, Tarble decided to find out how he got here. Tarble arriving to the scene of the pod's landing, Aware of the possibility of a Saiyan or one of Freeza's other men having shown. Tarble knew that the pod could be summoned to the rider, but it was not normally done unless they needed to flee. The young saiyan instead deciding to wait at the pod to introduce himself as he could not sense that there was any destruction happening.

Soon he could feel the power rush toward him, amazed by the speed himself as he almost forgot what really powerful people could do. His eyes shifted up as Raditz appeared overhead and looking down at him. The two instantly recognizing each other as saiyans with their tails, Tarble noticed young Gohan trying to struggle against his Uncle's stronger grip. Raditz lowering himself and the two stared each other down.

What will happen now that a second Saiyan has been found by Raditz? What will happen with earth if they clash? Will Goku and Piccolo arrive in time to help if Tarble does battle him? Or does the young Prince have another plan to hold Raditz at bay? Find out next chapter: Saiyan Diplomacy!
