The hunt for the Dragon Balls begins now!

It has been 12 years since the genocide of the Saiyans.
I learned shortly after my introduction to Earth that I possessed Present kid Trunks' Super Saiyan hairstyle. I had a light skin tone just like in my previous life.
Chips-,uh Dad I mean, noticed that I love to fight (due to being a full-blooded Saiyan) and so had me enlisted in dojos all over West City (which was near to my dad's outpost). Dad was eager to study my things and even me. He had some trouble raising me, what with all the fights I got into with the kids at pre-school. They had the nerve to call me "monkey", I taught them what happens when you call me that. Dad and the kids' parents had to be called in numerous times. Eventually, he pulled me out of pre-school.
Dad noticed that I was becoming physically stronger than what should be humanly possible thanks to my excercising.
Dad knew that I couldn't be Human or Earthling for that matter. My tail and eating habits, as well as my ship (which was stored in a capsule) and the Saibamen set.
Speaking of the Saibamen, dad learned how to plant the Saibamen. This was when I was 4 years old. Imagine his surprise when a green plant like creature with a head similar to a cabbage sprouted out from the soil. Now knowing that Earth grown Saibamen are as powerful as Raditz when he came to Earth, I pacified the (newborn?) Saibamen before it could cause damage. Good thing that they seem to acknowledge me as their master. After some tests, dad was able to report this to his superiors at Capsule Corp.
Three more green Saibamen were spawned and became our housekeepers and my sparring partners. We even managed to get them to train my tail so I wouldn't become a liability. It took almost a year to do so. Dad had some reservations about it but relented when I told him I lost my strength when my tail is grabbed. I even learned how to wrap my tail around my waist like a belt.
Dad took the opportunity to homeschool me. He even taught me some things about genetics and robotics. Thank Kami for that. He even did tests on my armor and scouter (which I still wear occasionally-mostly my armor so it can adjust to my size).
I told dad that I want to improve my technique by studying under the Legendary Turtle Hermit- Master Roshi.
He agreed that at my level of strength i was able to take care of myself. But to be safe, he told two of our Saibamen to be my protectors. They both responded with "Gi gi" in their signature croaky voices.
We took a small airship to Kame House. After landing, dad stepped out and opened the door for us.
We jumped out to meet three people. A bald boy with incense burns on his forehead and clad in his clothes from his time at Orin Temple. A boy with a strange (for humans) hairstyle that resembled a palm tree. And finally, a bald old man wearing a shirt, shorts, sunglasses and a turtle shell. This was Krillin, Son Goku, and Master Roshi. And they were looking at me and my company. Goku was staring at my tail. Krillin and Roshi were staring at me and the curious Saibamen.
Deciding to break the ice, I introduce myself.
"Hello! I'm Kachoba! This is my pa and these guys are the Saibamen!"
"Hi Kachoba! I'm Goku! You're like me!" the tail-less Saiyan says to me.
I feign ignorance. "Huh?"
Goku explains "I used to have a tail, but don't worry! It'll come back.
Krillin steps forward and introduces himself " I'm Krillin. Did you come to train under Master Roshi too?"
"Yup!"
My dad begins to leave " Take care of yourself son."
I give him a hug before he takes off.
"So you want to learn from me do ya?" Roshi steps forward.
"Yes sir. I came here to learn how to fight under someone who is regarded as a legend." I responded.
"Well, then. You came to the right place. Goku and Krillin will be leaving soon to undertake a trial of my choosing. You however can stay here. From what I can tell, your'e no slouch."
Krillin questions Roshi "Master Roshi, what do you have planned for us?
The old hermit looks at him and responds "You will find a stone with a symbol of my choosing. Kachoba, you will be facing me in a sparring match. Just to see how good you are."
A surprised look forms on my face and those of Goku's and Krillins'.
I then look at the Turtle Hermit with determination.
I get into a fighing stance and charge at Roshi. He parries my palm strike with his cane. I try a flurry of punches with only two actually connecting pushing him back. While he's dazed, I sweep with my leg knocking him off his feet. I try to stomp his chest but he stops my foot with his cane and pushes me him. He rises to his feet.
"That was good. Could be better".
Without warning, Roshi charges at me, striking me methodically, faster than I can keep up. I feel pain on my body, arms, and even my left leg!
He finishes his assault on me with a cane poke to my sternum, knocking me on my back as I gasp for air.
He offers me his hand, grinning.
"See boys? Kachoba managed to land a hit on me. He might be stronger than you two based on his performace."
I take his hand and rise.
"Well, I did train with the Saibamen. It's thanks to them that I'm this strong."
"You earned the right to study under me. Maybe your Saibamen can help us train?" the old man says.
I bow my head and express my gratitude "Thank you very much Master Roshi!"
