Chapter 4
The Saiyans Arrive
A brief amount of time after the events of the Dead Zone…
A small bang woke the farmer. Grabbing his shotgun, he rushed out of his house to find what the source was. A small little space pod was found in the middle of nowhere, and a figure slowly walked out. The figure had spiky hair, all the way down to his legs and an odd green object. He possessed armor with almost two horns jutting out of his shoulder pads. The armor was similar to that of a knight's, but the farmer knew he must have had something to do with the crater.
The stranger gazed around the planet, then spoke in a slightly gruff voice, "Odd, Kakarot should have destroyed all life on this planet already."
Panicking, the farmer pulled the trigger. This caught the stranger's attention, but he flicked it back towards the farmer. The farmer couldn't even tell what had happened before a tremendous amount of pain overtook of his body and he fell, dead. The stranger growled, "Well then, looks like I'll have to pay a visit to Kakarot."
Mountains…
Approximately 300 miles away from the farmer's house
Piccolo sat, silently on the mountain. Suddenly, a large yell awoke him from his meditation, "Hey! You there! Interesting, a Namekian."
Piccolo got in his battle stance, and the stranger tapped the button on his green item, "What the? This guy's power level is 1,250!"
Piccolo grinned and took off his weights, powering up further. The stranger began to gulp as he read the numbers, "1300, 1400, 1500! Impossible! His power couldn't be equal to mines! I'm the Saiyan elite Raditz!"
The Saiyan trembled, "At least I brought this." A small bot with a small seed looking item was within his hands. Piccolo looked at it, intrigued. Raditz planted the seed into the ground, and a grotesque, green creature with savage red eyes came out.
Raditz grinned, "A Saibamen! One of these has power equivalent to mine!"
Piccolo cracked his knuckles, "Considering the look on your face earlier I'd say your power isn't that high."
Raditz yelled, "Why you!" His purple aura caused Piccolo to raise an eyebrow.
The green creature rushed towards Piccolo before he could react. It sent a quick, short-ranged punch that sent Piccolo flying back. The demon quickly recovered however, and punched the green creature. Raditz took advantage of Piccolo being distracted and kneed him. The Saiyan grinned, "Interesting, a Namekian with power equivalent to mines at its maximum. I didn't expect creatures like you on Earth, now tell me, where is Kakarot?"
Piccolo growled, "I don't know who this Kakarot is, nor do I care!"
Piccolo grabbed ahold of Raditz's leg and threw him towards the Saibamen. Both fighters yelled in pain, but Raditz recovered first. The Saiyan yelled, "That's it, Double Sunday!"
The two purple blasts slammed into Piccolo, ripping and shredding his clothing. The Namekian yelled as he was engulfed in a massive explosion. Raditz began laughing, "At maximum power you're equal to me Namekian, but you have much lower stamina reserves!"
Piccolo struggled to get up, but he quickly regenerated the wounds. He smirked, "Oh yeah?"
The Namekian stretched his arm out and punched Raditz. The Saiyan staggered back, only to find Piccolo behind him. The Namekian slammed Raditz into the ground with a double fist collision. Piccolo began laughing, "Is that all?"
Before Piccolo could finish him off, he felt a firm grip. The Namekian turned around to see the Saibamen! Raditz laughed, "I forgot, the Saibamen can self-destruct, severely injuring even me."
Piccolo yelled, "What! Damn it!"
The explosion completely covered the air, and Raditz grinned, "Nice fireworks."
The smoking body of Piccolo fell, the Namekian brutally injured but not quite dead. Piccolo struggled to get back up, "D-damn you."
Raditz began powering up an energy ball, ready to finish Piccolo off, but before he could, he heard a yell, "Stop right there!"
Raditz looked behind him and found a man looking much like his father Bardock, with wild and unruly hair as well as an orange gi. Raditz began smiling, "Kakarot, you're finally here."
Goku growled, "I'm not Kakarot, nor do I know who you're talking about."
Raditz yelled, "Kakarot, have you gone blind? I'm your brother Raditz!"
Goku raised an eyebrow, "Brother? I don't have a brother…"
Raditz scowled, "So something happened to you, that's why you haven't exterminated all life on Earth."
Goku began powering up, and Raditz did the same, "Well, looks like I'll have to knock some sense into you."
Piccolo managed to regenerate some of his wounds, but it drained too much of his energy to let him stand. Meanwhile, Raditz began grinning, "Hmm…600 at maximum, you're not nearly as powerful as the Namekian was."
Goku smirked, "Oh yeah? You haven't even seen the surface of my power!"
Raditz got in his battle stance, "Really?"
A golden aura surrounded Goku, and he quickly transformed into a Super Saiyan, "Really."
Raditz staggered back, in a mixture of shock and awe, "What…is this!"
Goku's grin grew, "This is a Super Saiyan."
Goku's Saiyan brother stood back, "Wha-what? Super Saiyan?!"
Raditz's scouter exploded, "Im-impossible! That could only mean he has a power level above 22,000! But only Frieza's elite henchman have that type of power, not even Prince Vegeta is at that level!"
Raditz began staggering back, "But is he really a Super Saiyan?"
Determined not to lose to his brother, Raditz gave a yell, "If you're really the Super Saiyan then take this! Double Sunday!"
The two purple beams were both fired at incredible speed. They both stood next to each other, parallel. Goku didn't even pay attention, and after the smoke emerged, he stood, uninjured. Raditz gasped, "Wh-what?"
Goku growled, "I'll give you one warning, get off of this planet!"
Raditz yelled, "It's really a pity Kakarot, that you aren't a true Saiyan. If you were, we might have actually been able to defeat Frieza; you were the closest thing I've seen to being even a tenth of his power."
The Saiyan jumped into his space pod, and Piccolo yelled, "Goku are you insane?"
Goku didn't respond, but Raditz began laughing, "Know that this is the prelude to doom! There will be two more Saiyans with me arriving in one year, I'm sure they will be training to surpass you. The weaker one is equal to about three of me, and the stronger one is stronger than even ten of me! You stand absolutely no chance!"
The Saiyan gave a crackling, maniacal laugh as the space pod flew off at incredible speeds. Piccolo scowled, "Goku, that was a bad decision."
Goku replied, "Yeah, but my cells want me to be able to fight them."
Piccolo yelled, "But what if they have more power than you?!"
Goku grinned, "Then we train."
