To let everyone know, I AM NOT A GOKU-HATER! This fic is just based on how weird it would be if Goku was evil. NOTE: In the last chapter, Goku's "backup" was really the second wish from his wish for the secret hideout where Uub and him trained. He was saving the wish as an emergency. Should I spell it Krillin or Kurririn?

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING, except maybe this story! DBZ is Akira Toriyama's.

MAJOR ACTION: Italics equal thoughts

CHAPTER THREE:



FLASH! Leaving a trail of ki behind, Vegeta sped ahead full speed to the remains of Ronin town, at SSJ2. "Kakarot's chi was evil. Does that mean another Cell? Is this why Kakarot hasn't visited his harpy and the two brats in weeks? Heheh, this is a chance to show my stuff after the intense training I have done! I bet my final flash could top one billion!" Coming to a halt, Vegeta realized the worst thing: "MY ARMOR! IT'S AT RONIN TOWN! NOOO! That means wearing that stupid pink outfit for a month!" And with that, Vegeta went ahead full speed.

********************************************************************

"Ah man, it's my first month, and I'm already rushing off! I'm gonna get fired," moaned a panicking Gohan, who arrived late for a.

"Stuff it, kid! Drooling for a battle, you are," dictated Piccolo. Piccolo wanted a decent challenge too. After being humiliated against Boo, I need to do something to show that I can still compete with the best, he thought.



"Let's stop dawdling! We need to talk about this. Especially since Goku isn't around! That chi was no doubt evil, although eerily familiar," rambled Krillin.



"Yeah, I thought it was Cell at first! Crazy idea, haha!" said Yamcha, trying to hide his fear of Cell. "It's probably just some alien with a wimpy power level of four thousand who's trying to take over the world! Tienshinhan and Chaozu should take care of things, and no doubt Vegeta will be there."

"Still. The reason this meeting was called was so I can tell you a discovery of mine: the dragon was called a while ago. No wish of Goku, was this!"

"And you are sure . . ." said Master Roshi.

"Quiet, fool! Kami resides in me, and did you not notice the awkward color of the sky yesterday? No ordinary villain this is, I fear."

"Oh, come ON Piccolo! It's probably nothing. Chill, for once, will ya?" exclaimed Krillin.

"OH NO!" Everyone turned to Gohan, who was pale! "DO YOU SENSE THAT?!! IT'S TRUNKS AND GOTEN! Drat! They must be going to help Vegeta!" Everyone groaned.



"OK, who's going to volunteer to get them?" questioned Krillin. Suddenly, the table was empty except for Gohan and Krillin. No one else was even in sight. Both of them inwardly groaned.

Elsewhere:

"YAY, WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THE DAY!" screamed and enthusiastic Trunks.

"HOW'S THAT!" awed Goten.

"DUH SILLY! WE SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE EVIL DUDE."

"WHAT IF IT IS MANY EVIL DUDES?" asked a terrified Goten.

"Oh. THEN WE SAVE THE WORLD FROM ALL OF THOSE FIENDS!"

"TRUNKS, YOU ARE SO SMART!"

"I KNOW!" beamed Trunks.

"TRUNKS!"

"YEAH?"

"WHAT'S 'FIEND'?" Trunks fell over anime style.

"DUH, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A FIEND IS!"

"Oh, what is then?" questioned a curious Goten.

"It's, um, it's a . . ." hesitated Trunks.

"TRUNKS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS EITHER," said Goten triumphantly.

"YES I DO! It's just that, if I tell you, WE'LL MISS SAVING THE WORLD!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" said Goten, forgetting about what their quarrel.

"SO LET'S GO FULL SPEED AHEAD!" The chibis excitedly sped towards Ronin City.

*****************************************************************

Kakarot stood, silent, above the remains of the TV crew. "This world should be given a chance to defend itself. Maybe that fool Vegeta and my pathetic sons will join me. Now how do I do this again? Alright, sense, feel, and I got it!" Opening a channel to all of Earth, Kakarot spoke.



"PEOPLE OF EARTH! I AM THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF RONIN CITY! I HEREBY ISSUE A CHALLENGE TO ALL OF THE EARTH'S FORCES! IF I AM NOT DEFEATED, OR IF THE CHALLENGE IS NOT ACCEPTED, EARTH WILL BE DESTROYED. A TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD AT THE RUINS OF RONIN CITY! THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ISSUED. IF NO ONE COMES IN A HALF HOURS TIME, THE EARTH IS DOOMED!" Of course, pandemonium spread, and it only stopped when Mr. Satan, lying, obviously, by the yellow stain on his pants, assured Earth of his victory.

"Piccolo was correct! No one anticipated such a threat!" stated a panicking Gohan.

"Gohan, calm down, Goku will come and save the day, no doubt! We don't even have to go," replied a chilling Krillin.

"BALDY! Do NOT think I will be DISGRACED by that saiyan THIRD-CLASS SCUM! I plan to fight! I COULD have ended this a long time ago, if it weren't for that stupid message! Even the brats agree with me!"

"YEAH! WE WANT TO SAVE THE DAY!" confirmed Goten and Trunks in union.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" The attention was reverted to Piccolo. "Let's go! We are all going to fight! Good training it will be! Some low-level alien, it is, I will bet." Not uttering any more words at Piccolo's outburst, the group, which consisted of a quiet Chaozu, a silent Tien, a rambling Krillin, a confident Yamcha, a stoic Vegeta, an irritated Piccolo, a pair of excited chibis, and a nervous Gohan flew to Ronin city.

On arrival . . .

Kakarot met them with a smile. "Welcome, friends!"

"Turles! How did you survive," Yamcha raised a fist to strike him.

"Turles I am not. Kakarot is who I am."

"Dad?"

"Goku?"

"Kakarot?"

"Mr. Goku?"

"THAT IS KAKAROT! THE SUPREME SAIYAN! POWER UP!" Kakarot powered up, but he had a wicked glint in his eye, and a strange presence. "YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE! MY POWER LEVEL IS OVER 800 MILLION!" The earth shook, the mountains cracked, and the Z warriors faced, for the first time, a battle they doubted they could win.

Sorta dragged on a bit, but it was hard to have Kakarot and the rest of the gang meet. THE ACTION IS NEXT CHAPTER!
