Other World Saga

I

25 years had passed since the day Goku and his friends defeated Zanji. In that time, much had changed in Other World. In honor of their new position, the Z Warriors had been given their own planet, nearly as large as the Grand Kai's. It was divided equally among them. The Grand Kai had tried to give Goku a larger section then the others since he was the group leader, but Goku refused it, saying that he was no better then his comrades. King Kai had also won West Kai's planet in a bet 3 years before. He wagered that Goku could defeat West Kai's newest fighter, Ruppiki. He was able to do it without going past Super Saiyan 1. On special request, Krillin moved West Kai's planet into King Kai's old orbit at the end of snake way.

Becoming guardians of the universe came at a price though. If they were to be killed, again, then they'd be erased. Simply and totally erased. From heaven and hell. They would just disappear, which is why, the Grand Kai told them later, he hadn't wanted them to leave. The Supreme Kai wanted to give Goku life, but he had already broken the rules for Goku twice before, and he couldn't do it a third. Becoming a guardian weighed heavily on each of the fighters, but in the end, they had all taken the deal. Each of the Z Warriors, except Goku, were given more lessons from King Kai. There was little he could teach them, however Krillin learned the art of Kaio-ken and all of them learned Shunkiado (Instant Transmission). King Kai thought that the new defenders of the galaxy would find it useful in their travels.

Throughout the 25 years of their guardianship, they had many close calls. In one instance, Goku and Goten had taken a visit Yardratt, only to find that it's inhabitants had developed a new war machine capable of destroying dozens of planets surrounding their own. It had already fired at a neighboring system that the Yadranians were at war with before Goku and Goten were able to divert the blast. Then there was trouble again when a new set of dragonballs was discovered on Vereem. The one who collected them wished for immortality in order to conquer the universe. He was eventually imprisoned within his own star. A short while after Piccolo learned Shunkiado, he traveled to New Namek to check up on his people. It appeared that Porunga had been set loose on the Namekians, same as Shenlong had been on Earth. However, because of Porunga's immense power, he was immeasurably stronger than Shenlong had been, and much harder to defeat. Porunga had also agreed to revive all the Namekians he killed before setting off. All of these adventures were only within the first 12 years of the Z Warriors commission.

Now the galaxy was at relative peace. The Z Warriors still had jobs to perform roughly every month, but they had not been in any real danger since Porunga. The Z Warriors with wives and family members who were permitted into Heaven were able to spend more time with them, as their services were needed rarely. Their wives had been permitted to gain their bodies back shortly after another escapade the Z Warriors had helped clear up as a reward and they now lived with their husbands in the mansions. Tien often visited Chout-zu (he had also been given his body back in reward for Tien's service, but not his life) who trained with the other North Quadrant fighters, hoping to gain a private lesson from the Grand Kai.

Another Other World tournament was being held as well. Goku or Vegeta were heavily favored to win, but neither was allowed to transform past Super Saiyan 3, since last time they used Super Saiyan 4 it destroyed the entire stadium. Vegeta was not fond of this idea, since he couldn't transform into Super Saiyan 3. Since he had skipped that step during his life on Earth, he couldn't go back and try to learn it now. He was stuck at his max power during tournaments being Super Saiyan 2. Tensions between North Kai and West Kai had only intensified ever since they ended up getting into a fist fight during the 1,301,482,203rd Other World tournament 110 years ago. And this year West Kai was supposed to have found a new ultimate fighter to challenge even the Saiyans that King Kai boasted.
