Chapter 1
Battle On Earth

Raditz slowly awoke. Rubbing his eyes, he slowly got up. With a quick glance around, he was reminded and glad he was in a larger ship, rather then a Saiyan space capsule. Walking slowly to the control room, he paused to glance out the window at the beauty of space. Suddenly, a large chunk of rock flew by. He shuddered; he was in the wreckage of a planet, one he had helped destroy before the destruction of Vegeta. Old Saiyan legend said that to be in the presence of a destroyed planet was an omen of ill.
Raditz scoffed at the though of ghosts of atrocities long past haunting those who awoke them. None the less, he got out of the area as soon as possible.

Raditz sat on a seat, staring out the window. How long had he been asleep? He then realized a more important question:
How much longer until I reach Earth, anyway?
With a quick glance at the controls, he saw an answer:
2 days.
He sighed, the cursed computer woke him up too early. He sat down and tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair.
What can I do for two days?
The ship wasn't big enough to train-even if it was, he couldn't gain much without special training equipment-which was not issued to "Low class scum" like him. And he wasn't rich enough to buy his own like Nappa, or important enough to request from Freiza like Vegeta.
Sighing, he laid back and fell into sleep...

"WARNING! WARNING! ENTERING EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE IN FIVE MINUTES! WARNING! WARNING!"
"AAAAGHH!" Raditz awoke with a scream, taking several seconds to calm down-he dozed off?! For two weeks? The cursed computer woke him with the sudden alarm. He quickly hit the commands for landing, strapped on his belt, and braced himself.

"Tien, look!" Chao-zu said to his companion.
Tien looked up and immediately knew what Chao-zu had meant: A ball of fire was in the air, heading towards earth at high speeds. It landed, and an explosion rocked the area.
"What was that?!" Tien shouted.
"We should make sure no one's hurt!" Chao-zu said. Nodding, Tien powered up and flew off, quickly joined by his small friend.

"Stupid machine!" Raditz shouted in frustration. Things couldn't be worse-the landing gear had failed, causing a nice crash. The ship was nearly totaled, the explosion had weakened his energy from blocking it. At the very least, the rejuvenation tanks were working. Tapping the button, he was relieved to see his scouter working, but was less so to see two powers approaching; one at 1,360 and another at 1,740.
Damn it! I hope they aren't hostile, if it was just the 1,740, it would be no problem, but two might cause...trouble.
Even worse, he noticed his armor was in very bad condition. Large chunks were ripped apart or smashed entirely. Running into the back of the ship, he was hoping there was a spare suit. He searched through a small locker; just some clothes. He checked in a strongbox; nothing. He hastily threw open a cabinet. Success! An extra set with a new scouter lied in it. Reaching into the pocket, he also found a repair kit for his armor. It would be worthless with his current suit-it was too far gone-but if the new one was partially broken, it would come in handy. Fitting the new suit on his jumper, he powered his ki as far as he could and exited.

"That ki..." Tien commented, already powered up. Chao-zu nodded. It wasn't as high as Goku or Piccolo, but it was quite a bit stronger then him or Tien. Suddenly, what seemed to be a door opened. Our stepped a tall figure. The visitor was oddly similar to them: He looked much like a human except for a long, brown tail. He was wearing what appeared to be some kind of body armor. He had a strange device on his face, and his hair was abnormally long. He looked slightly injured, as well.

How odd...
The two "Humans" as he heard earthlings were called, looked very...similar, much like a tail-less Saiyan, but one was tall, muscular, and had three eyes. The other was short and white with red cheeks.
"Nice planet," he said as he stepped forward, looking around.
"I can get alot of money for this place," he said as he walked forward.
"Who are you?" Tien said, lowering into a fighting position.
"Hehe, you don't know who you're talking to, idiot," Raditz said, smirking, "but if you tell me where I can find these "Dragonballs", than I won't kill you and your friend,"
"What? How did you know about the dragonballs?" Tien asked, a look of shock on his face.
Chao-zu also got in a fighting stance, sweating slightly at the powerful ki.
"You want to fight me? All right, then," Raditz said. Raditz began slowly walking forward and broke .into a charge towards. Flying at Tien, Raditz punched him in the face, knocking him back, Tien spread his arms and legs to stop, then fired a blast. Raditz jumped over it then flew towards Tien and kicked, but Tien blocked. Tien quickly countered by punching Raditz in the stomach, hard. As the Saiyan bent over, Tien jumped back and kicked him in the head, snapping it back, followed by a hit that sent the Saiyan back. Getting up, Raditz growled and started gathering energy before and fired a massive blast. Tien dodged to the left narrowly when Raditz appeared in front of him and kneed him, followed by grabbing and throwing him forward. Raditz charged and prepared to smash him with both hands, but Tien moved quickly behind him and fired the Dodon-pa, taking off a large chunk of Raditz's armor, nearly hitting his shoulder. Raditz spun and jumped back, landing opposite from Tien. Raditz looked at the damaged armor.
"Impressive, earthling. You're not as weak as I thought...but, you're still no match for a Saiyan," Raditz said.
Raditz charged forward as Tien prepared in a defensive pose, and just as Raditz got near, Raditz flew back at high speed.
"Here, this is my special attack!" Raditz shouted while flying back, then fired a ball of energy. Tien flew up and, looking down, saw the ball following him. He flew away as fast as possible, trying to curve around it.
Yes, it's working perfectly...
Tien flew up and prepared to fire a blast at Raditz, but sensing something, looked up and saw a second above him! Raditz had shot a second while he was dodging the first. The two balls suddenly split into 8 each and changed position. Tien was completely surrounded. As the blasts approached he threw up his arms in a defense.

As the smoke cleared, Tien was breathing heavily, his clothes were ripped, and he noticed his left arm was bleeding. Raditz laughed.
"Why don't you give up and show me where the Dragonballs are? I promise I'll let you and your little friend here live. You stand no chance! I am the third most powerful Saiyan alive!" Raditz shouted.
Of course, there are only three Saiyans left...but he doesn't have to know that.
Tien growled, holding his left arm. Then, he smiled.
"Huh?" Raditz was shocked, but Tien reached into his belt and pulled out an odd green bean and ate it. Suddenly, his power was at full, and his wounds vanished!
"I'm going to thank Karin for this Senzu bean after I beat this guy. It's a good thing I kept it on me," Tien said as he got into his stance once again.
Raditz face quickly changed from surprise, to worry.
No! I used quite abit of my energy on my attacks! I'm only at 1,775 now! I'm only abit stronger, if I'm not careful I'll lose this fight. Forget him, I'll kill him with my best attack, then deal with his friend!
"It ends now!" Tien shouted, suddenly firing the Dodon-pa. Raditz quickly fired two energy blasts, one stalled the blast, but the other headed straight for Tien, who canceled his blast and dodged.
"Now, I will show you the power of the Saiyans!" Raditz shouted. He began charging all his ki.
Tien looked nervous, he sensed unbelievable energy in the attack.
Raditz own scouter beeped at 2,600. Raditz thought back to what Nappa had told him once during training:
"Always know where your attack maxes out. Then, you will know when it is fully charged and you aren't putting in more energy then you can handle,".
Raditz vaguely remembered his attack's maximum was 2,100 last time he check, but his power
level was 1,400 then. Since he was now 2,000, it would be 3,000. Then, 2,840 clicked. Raditz placed his hands together and pointed them at Tien, the hands open and energy gathering in the palms.
As it reached 3,000, he fired the large blast at Tien and shouted:
"Ka ka bu Dan!" the energy erupted forward from Raditz outstretched hands, flying towards Tien.
Tien stood, sweating slightly as the blast got nearer. It was too fast too dodge, and Tien doubted he could block it with much success. The blast would either kill him or come close.
"Tien! No!" Chao-zu shouted.
