Chapter 1

Gohan and his father, Goku were sparring over the battleground where they first fought Vegita. Just as Gohan was preparing a Masenko attack, Goku cocked his head to the side and stared at what appeared to be a shooting star. "What is it, Dad? What do you feel?," Gohan asked.

Goku muttered, "A powerful force is coming to Earth. I can't tell if it's good... or evil."

"Well, why don't we go check it out? I could use a good fight, I've been slacking off as of late."

"I guess we should, but by the time we reach the ship's destination, it will have already entered the atmosphere, so LET'S GO!"

When Goku and Gohan got to the point where the mysterious alien was to land, they found Vegita, Piccolo, and Krillin waiting for their guest as well. "So my theory is proven once again,"Vegita sneered, "You never could stay away from a good fight, could you, Kakarot?"

"I'm just here make a new friend," Goku replied sternly, "Or take out a new enemy."

"Whatever reason you have for being here, you better make sure that's what you want to do," Piccolo growled, "He's here." Just then, a large spaceship not unlike Freeza's, touched down about a mile away from the Z-Soldiers.

Soon, after a burst of steam escaped from the ship's exhaust pores, a tall, grim-looking figure stepped out of the cockpit. He wore a black bandanna covering his hair, and a thick red shirt with sleeves covering his elbows. He wore heavy boots, black pants tattered and torn at mid-shin, and a piece of rope, tied with a square knot, in place of a belt. He caught sight of the Z-Soldiers and carefully studied them. He stood upright, and assumed attack position.

"Well if it's a fight he wants," Vegita snarled as he took to the air. Gohan tried to warn him not to take this threat lightly, but it was to no avail. Vegita had no intention of turning Super Saiyan when he reached the peak of his flight. He came down with a swift kick to the stranger's face, just as Piccolo powered up for an attack. The unknown assailant grabbed Vegita's foot as it connected, and threw him behind him with a ki blast in tow. The explosion was quite large. Piccolo fired a Massankosappo, but the stranger deflected the screw beam into Goku with a ki shield. He fired what looked like a Garlic Gun right into Piccolo, pummeling the ill-prepared Namekian into unconciousness. Krillin rushed him, but the alien used a double-fisted blow to litterally flatten him. Vegita returned to the fray, and engaged his newfound adversary in a powerful exchange of punches. The assailant grabbed both of Vegita's fists, and knocked him out with several headbutts. Gohan felt his anger build up inside of him as he watched his friends getting hurt, and shot a Masenko blast at the offending intruder. The target used what appeared to be the Kaioken Attack to dodge the beam, fly behind Gohan, and plant a dagger firmly in his back. Gohan plummeted to the ground, a twisted grimace covering his face.

"That's it! I didn't want to accuse you of being evil, but now I'm thoroughly convinced that you are!" Goku started to charge up a Kamehameha, and went Super Saiyan. As he did this, the stranger's bandanna started to glow with an eerie yellow light, then suddenly blew off revealing spiked gold hair. He took to the air and fired a barrage of ki blasts that could only be a Renzoku Shire Shire Missile. Goku was too unprepared to retain conciousness after the attack.

"Crap, I really didn't want this. I can sense your good intentions, and I know I haven't made the best of first impressions, but I'm a soldier for right just as you guys are. My name...is Rooks."
