When Kami returns from the underworld to allow Goku the chance to train with King Kai, he returns to the look out to find Tarble and Raditz already in planning stages for how to train the others. Their plan was to train for Freeza, and use the saiyans that were sure to come as a measuring stick. The more and more Tarble thought about it, the more he was sure Vegeta would come.

The others arrive and Kami is not pleased at this, but when explained that a threat greater than any they have faced is coming, the elder god could not refuse. Beginning the 6 months of training from the original manga to build them up for proper training, Tarble then suggested they go to Bulma and Goku's home, and see if she will allow them to use the Gravity Chamber. Bulma having made one to go to ten times gravity in previous chapters.

Now during their training it is found out that Chichi and Yamcha did not stay together. Why is that you may ask. My thought process is that Yamcha, unlike the show being stated that he was cheating on someone, simply was away enough for the fear of him cheating to be in Chichi's mind. Yamcha is also kind of a slacker. Goku consistently trained and Chichi admired him for it, but Yamcha constantly shifted from training to resting on his laurels. This would annoy Chichi I feel, and their relationship most likely would end in an argument. One that Yamcha himself would not bother fighting for either. Reason, he was not truly in love with Chichi either. They had a life or death fight together, and then he returned to find his girlfriend with one of his best friends. Their relationship was built on the fact both lost the person they were pursuing or with, which is not a strong relationship. In this, Yamcha instead has become a wolf hermit, training on his own in his desert base before he was called to defend the world. Just wanted to give some information on why they were no longer a thing.

The two still trained together for the battle of the saiyans, being told they had less than a year to prepare. With Raditz helping them train as well as the pendulum room used as a marker for how much they needed to train still, the group's power levels increase much greater than they did in the show or manga.

Goku also getting a power boost still, but not as much as he had already gotten gravity training done. This does allow him to make it to King Kai's planet though, and master Kaio-ken and Spirit bomb earlier. Due to King Kai knowing of Overworld energy given to the dead though (as seen later in the Super Saiyan 3, and the fact many dead warriors even under him in training can last longer than they normally could). King Kai has them resurrect Goku early, and work on endurance with the Kaio-ken, allowing him to train on longer lasting in the power up.

-Day of the Saiyans Arrival-

Goku revived already, but King Kai still forgets to manage time correctly, makes Goku have to rush to help his friends. Vegeta and Nappa headed to Piccolo and Gohan's locations, having the two highest power levels at the time. Tarble kept his power low, Raditz still under the effects of the seal, and Yurin placed wards with her magic to keep their power seeming low. Krillin had delivered the new armor, but Raditz refused the earth made armor. Yurin stayed behind, but not before she placed a kiss to Tarble's forehead and made him promise he would come back alive.

With Vegeta and Nappa first meet with Piccolo and Gohan, it is still revealed Piccolo to be a Namekian. This allows for Kami to learn and speak up on how he felt the dragon balls were nastalgic. As more and more opponents began to show, this being everyone from the original story plus Chichi, Vegeta and Nappa planned on testing them with Saibamen.

Before the battle could start though, Raditz and Tarble arrive. The younger brother's eyes staring down to his older brother. The smile used to mock the earthlings shifted to a stern glare as well. The two having not seen each other in about 24 years. Tarble wondered what went through his brother's mind as he landed to the ground in his new Battle Armor.

"It is good you chose to bulster your ranks, Vegeta." Tarble said, he tried to make his voice as hard as he could. He wanted to have the first meeting in some time to be happy… but the plan would not allow that. "I, Tarble of planet Vegeta, Son of King Vegeta the Third, Prince of the Saiyans… Challenge Prince Vegeta the Fourth, Heir to the throne. For the reign of the saiyans."

The battle just about to start, when suddenly a call for who will rule the saiyans! Tarble's gambling with someone whose power he has only a small hint for. Is Earth prepared for the battle to come, and will Goku still arrive in time? Find out next time, in chapter 26: Rules of engagment, Betrayal!?
