I had spare time so I decided I would work on this while I had the chance. This chapter was definitely longer than I wanted it to be, but I guess that's good. I didn't expect this story to get this many reviews for the first chapter so thanks to all of you.

Also as a quick note, a couple people have PM'ed me about making this GokuxKorra. Don't know how I would make it work or feel about that since Goku's 25 right now and Korra is only 18 and live on completely different planets. Should I let it happen or should Goku stay faithful? Decide in the reviews if you want or go to a poll I put up at the request of a user whose name I will not disclose.

This chapter has a little teensy bit of angst, so don't mind it.

Update: I realized that Goku had done a little too much explaining, so I made a shortened and more realistic version of what he said before. In this new scenario, he doesn't transform into a Super Saiyan so the Avatar gang doesn't know about that ability yet.


"Wow! This looks amazing!" Goku exclaimed, seeing a meal fit for a king right in front of him.

After getting out of their momentary stupor, Suyin deemed him safe to roam around the city, but not without telling a few guards to keep a close watch on him. After Goku had politely asked for food, albeit a little desperately, the matriarch relented. She brought him over to the dining hall along with Korra and Aiwei, to get more info out of him. What Goku didn't know was that Suyin had her own chef, and he used to be a pirate. It was a good example of how people could change in his eyes. Her chef brought many delicacies to the table, making Goku drool a bit.

He was about to dig in before the doors to the hall opened, revealing a couple teenagers by it. Korra apparently knew those as she called them over. "Hey guys! Mako, Bolin, and Asami! Come sit down here!" She pointed to the empty seats next to her. They did as they were requested and sat down. The food on their table looked great to them and were about to eat when they saw a horrifying sight.

Goku was sucking all the food at the table into his mouth like a black hole. One second it was a drumstick and a huge fish the next. He was eating so fast that everyone else lost their will to have their sustenance and looked on with wide eyes. This man was eating 10 plates a minute!

"Guys I think I'm gonna puke," Asami said as she covered her mouth.

"Yeah, no kidding," the firebender agreed. Turning his attention to Korra, he wanted to catch up to her. "So Korra, where did you go?" asked Mako. Korra just grinned at him.

"Well, you remember that crater I saw?" she asked. He nodded in confirmation. "Well apparently, that guy in the bandages caused it. Just guess what that guy is."

"Uhh...powerful?" he said with hesitation.

"No, this guy is an alien!" she exclaimed with unusual excitement. Everyone looked to her, including Goku who was trying to be a little more polite when eating.

"Who's an alien?" asked Bolin after he had a spit take.

Goku simply raised his hand and went back to eating, this time a little more quickly. Mako, Bolin, and Asami gaped at her, wondering what the heck was wrong with Korra.

"Korra, not that I don't trust your Avatar instincts, but this guy looks completely normal to me, not some green man," Bolin tried to reason, taking a glance at Goku. Mako and Asami agreed with him completely.

"Trust me guys. He proved he is, right Aiwei?" she looked to him for confirmation

Aiwei nodded and decided that now would be a good time to ask him about his reasons for coming to this world of theirs. "Well let's get back to the main topic. Why are you here?" he asked. Goku slurped some noodles and downed a whole glass of water before slamming them down on the table again.

"Woohoo, that hit the spot. Thanks Suyin," he said. She was still a little disgusted by what she saw but managed to nod at him. She called the chef over to take all their plates back for cleaning, which he did. The Saiyan then turned to the truth seer.

"Well for your question...I didn't come here intentionally," he said.

Aiwei raised an eyebrow. "Then let me rephrase that. What led you here?"

Goku was silent for a moment before responding. "Are you ready to hear a long story?" he asked. Everyone in the room eagerly nodded.

"We have all the time in the world," Korra said. Not really, she needed to go to the airbenders but that wasn't on her mind at the moment.

He sighed. "Well, I guess you already by now that I'm not a human. I'm from a planet called Earth, but it's completely different from this one."

His mood became serious. "But I didn't come straight from there. I was on another planet at the time, called Namek."

Mako spoke up. "Why did you go there in the first place?" he asked.

Goku furrowed his brow. "My friends were killed when these people called the Saiyans invaded our planet. We had these things called Dragon Balls, seven magic orbs that would summon a powerful dragon, Shenron. When collected together, we could've been granted one wish, from wishing for food to bringing the dead back to life," he saw the awed looks on their faces, being very attentive to what he was saying. "I had actually died once too, and the dragon balls brought me back."

Korra widened her eyes. "Wait, hold on a minute. You died before and were just resurrected by these things," she asked him.

The Saiyan nodded. "Yeah, but that's a story for another time. The dragon balls were really powerful and the Saiyans were after them, for whatever reason."

"But one of my friend's life, Piccolo, was tied to the dragon balls, so when he died..."

"The dragon balls went with him?" Korra finished hesitantly. Goku nodded, affirming her line as true. "But what does you having to leave your planet have to do with that?" she asked.

"Piccolo wasn't from Earth either. See, he was from Namek," Goku revealed. Everyone's eyes lit up in understanding, seemingly connecting the dots. "His people had a whole other set of dragon balls. The thing is, we ran into some nasty but just as powerful people along the way who were also after them. But I got pretty banged up when this guy called Ginyu tried to switch bodies with me."

Bolin gasped. "Oh, so you became a freaky alien and he became you?" he asked.

Mako sighed. "Bo, why are you like this?"

His brother shrugged. "What, I just want to know. It's an honest question," he said.

Goku laughed a bit. "Yeah, I guess I did. It wasn't fun at all, because he wounded himself right before we switched so I would've had a handicap. My friends had to beat down Ginyu who was still in my body just to get him out. Safe to say, it worked and I was me again in no time, but just roughed up a lot."

"Oh, so that's why you were injured when I found you," Suyin commented. Goku shook his head slowly and closed his eyes.

"No trust me. That was a walk in the park compared to what happened after that. Remember what I said about this nasty guy who was after the dragon balls." Everyone nodded in unison.

Goku opened his eyes. "Well, my friends had to put me in some healing pod so I could recover while they went out to fight the one responsible for killing the people of Namek," he gritted his teeth, again very frustrated. This time it was visible on his face.

"Are you okay, Goku?" Korra asked in slight worry. He got out of his state and took a deep breath.

"Yeah I'm fine," he reassured. "His name was Frieza and he was the one responsible for killing all of the Namekians just so he could get the Dragon Balls for himself."

Everyone else was horrified by that revelation. It sounded a lot like how the Fire Nation killed all the Air Nomads to eliminate the Avatar.

"Eventually I was healed, and the strange thing was that I was more powerful than ever. I was able to match him in strength until he told me that he was holding his power back. I got too confident and baited him to show his power, which was a huge mistake for me. He outclassed me in every way and no matter what I did, he swatted it away."

Again, everyone was appalled by this Frieza. He sounded like a person they would never want to cross paths with. They never knew someone so sadistic to ruthlessly torture people they didn't like.

"I only had one more ace up my sleeve: The Spirit Bomb. I tried to gather any life energy from Namek, the grass, trees, animals, it's three suns. But it wasn't enough so I had to borrow energy from life in the neighboring star systems too. He figured out what I was doing and nearly killed me, but Piccolo saved me and bought me time to finish gathering energy." He took a glance at their expressions, some in anticipation and some in anger.

Korra spoke up. "Wait, Spirit Bomb? As in like spiritual energy?" Goku thought about it for a second. Was it spiritual energy? It could be considered spiritual since it took energy from lifeforms and Otherworld had a lot of it.

"Yeah, you could call it that. It's basically taking a piece of energy that someone has to offer whether it's from the soul or living body." he explained. Korra nodded, never thinking that spirit energy could be gathered in such a way.

Goku continued his story. "Once it was completed, I threw it at him and it looked like he was gone for good. We thought it was over and we could head back home, see our family and friends again. But before I knew it, Frieza came out of nowhere. He was definitely banged up, but that didn't stop him from shooting a beam right through Piccolo." Slowly but surely, rage started to fill his being again. "I felt so helpless that time and I was too tired to even do anything. But then...then..." he couldn't finish it once he remembered why he had the power to defeat the tyrant. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Out of seemingly nowhere, winds started to pick up inside the room. Everyone was confused until they saw that the source of it was Goku himself. They didn't know if their eyes were playing tricks on them, but they could've swore they saw a golden glow around the Saiyan. "That bastard..." he said the words in a menacing way. Suyin and Aiwei got up from their seats and started to back away, covering their eyes from the gusts of air. The room started to rumble and made the table shake violently.

"Goku! Calm down!" Korra yelled out to him. Mako, Bolin and Asami backed away, not wanting to do anything to provoke Goku further.

"Goku!" Mako shouted his name.

"Goku, calm down!" Bolin agreed as he looked over to him.

It seemed to work when the winds died down and the rumbling stopped. The golden glow that accompanied it also faded as well. Goku snapped out of his rage and widened his eyes. "Oh man, I'm so sorry guys. I don't know what came over me," he said remorsefully.

Korra settled her arms down from in front of her and took a few steps forward slowly. "It's alright but what happened to you that made you so made?" she asked him.

Bolin nodded fearfully in agreement. "Yeah, you almost tore this place down man," he complained.

The rest of the occupants in the room remained standing, cautious that somehow this man would have another episode.

Goku's eyes darkened. "Frieza...killed my best friend right in front of me," he said sadly.

Korra put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a look of pity. "I'm so sorry Goku," she said to him.

Goku clenched his fists again. "And he planned to do the same thing to my son. I got so angry that I just snapped. Some new power came to me through my rage and it was the reason I was able to beat Frieza."

"So how much stronger did you get?" asked Mako, flipping over a chair and sitting back down.

"Think of me being completely helpless before to me completely having him outclassed in every way. When he saw that there was no way out for him, he tried to blow up the planet and take me with it." That was the best answer he had for him right now.

"That sounds neat. I wish I could have that ability," Bolin said with a bit of humor.

Goku narrowed his eyes. "It came with a price though. My friends had to die before I could tap into it. My judgement was clouded and all I could feel was rage the entire time. I wanted to make him suffer and I did. When he tried to blow up the planet, it didn't blow up right away. He told me it would take 5 minutes, so I just decided to beat him before it blew up. Even through all that rage, I tried to give him chances to walk away but all he did was throw it back in my face. Eventually he was cut in half by his own attack, but still didn't have the heart to kill him. I figured the planet would do that for me."

"But why would he blow it up while he was on the planet?" Suyin asked him.

"Because he's not like us. Frieza doesn't need air to survive. He could've survived the planet's explosion and go to the nearest planet where he could recover but I didn't let that happen. But anyways, Namek was about to blow and it didn't look like I had much time left. My ship was too far away for me to reach it, so I tried Frieza's spaceship. Turns out that it was already banged up, and I almost gave up hope because if I had died on Namek, I couldn't have been wished back ever."

"But I saw another spacepod while I was trying to turn Frieza's ship on. I knew it was my only chance and I took it. There wasn't enough time to plot a course, so I just fired up the engines and punched it. I made it out of the explosion with seconds to spare, and that was the last thing I remembered before waking up here," he sighed as he finally finished his story.

There was a moment of silence after he finished. The man in front of them had gone through so much in such little time, after so many close calls as well. Suyin especially felt bad for berating him when he woke up, being ignorant of the man's troubles.

Aiwei was the first to speak up. "I can say now that you have been telling the truth the entire time. It is mostly saddening to hear your tale. What will you do after recuperating?" he asked him.

"Probably just leave. My friends and my own son probably think I'm dead right now, so I don't want to worry them further," he said.

"Yes, that is a wise choice of actions," Aiwei agreed right away, not wanting anyone to know his true intentions. If he could defeat people who could destroy entire worlds...then that would be bad news for him. He then turned to Suyin and gave a little nod, which she returned. The truth seer left the room with his hands behind his back, and closed the door behind him.

But then Goku realized something. "But wait, where is my spaceship?" he turned to Suyin. "You said you're the one who found me. Did you keep it somewhere?" She nodded and called for a servant. She whispered something in his ear and he sped off to the hallway.

Goku just looked on until he saw some of his bandages were teared. He pulled on them because they were irritating him now, and bandages weren't his choice of wear in the first place either. "Do you think I could put some clothes on? These things are doing nothing for me right now," he frowned.

"Yes there is. Mina, would lead this man to get some proper attire?" Suyin called one of the guards over. The female nodded to her and motioned Goku to follow. He tried to stand up but his leg hadn't healed yet so he crashed back down on the chair. Goku hissed in pain and grabbed the aching limb.

He chuckled a little sheepishly. "Wow, I guess this leg's still banged up, huh?" The guard then took Goku and lifted him over her shoulder, surprising him with her strength. "Woah!" The guard took the liberty of getting out as soon as possible to appease the matriarch.

Korra leaned into Mako's ear. "Hey do you think Goku will help us...you know, with Zaheer and his group?" she whispered. Mako only shrugged.

"I don't know if he would but you make it sound like we can't do it ourselves," he pointed out.

She raised her hands as a gesture of defense. "Not at all. I'm just saying that in case something goes wrong," she tried to reason.

Bolin leaned in to the conversation. "Hey what are we whispering about?" he tried to sound like them but was promptly ignored.

Mako sighed and ran a hand through his face. "Look, the guy already has enough problems in his hands. We don't need to put ours on his stack," he justified.

Korra shoulders slumped and looked a little downcast, not noticed by anyone else. "I guess so." She didn't know why but it kind of saddened her for some reason. Maybe because she could relate to someone having a huge weight on their shoulders, and expected to save everyone when the time comes. Not that she wouldn't save anyone. It was a part of her nature to do so. A hand was placed on her shoulders and she looked to see Suyin with a smile on her face.

"Come on. I'm sure my daughter is anxious to see you again," she said. Korra smiled back, remembering her mission for the airbenders.

"Sure let's go." With that, Team Avatar followed Suyin outside, resuming the journey they were sent on.


After Goku had left to get real clothes, he found that the tunic everyone wore just wasn't suited for him. It was too long, baggy, and those metal slices looked really weird on him. He requested that he get orange and blue shirts and orange pants, but was told by the tailors that they did not have those colors. Instead they gave him a light green tank top and dark brown pants to wear, with bandages still around his leg. A few of the girls there blushed a bit when they saw his muscular arms and frame, but he didn't care to notice.

Now that it was in the afternoon, their next destination was the technology lab, where his space pod was held. Unfortunately, it seemed that Varrick had taken an interest towards it and was about to start examining it. Goku obviously had become irritated when he realized his only method of space travel was about to be torn apart.

"Zhu Li! Do the thing!" The man with a thin moustache ordered a brown haired woman vaguely. But somehow she knew what he meant and gave a small bow. Walking towards the door she tried to push the spiky haired man in a wheelchair out but the guards would not let her. After relenting she turned to her boss.

"I'm terribly sorry Varrick," she bowed again. Varrick's let out a deep irritated breath and lazily turned his head towards the man from the spacepod.

"Look buddy, this is some really great tech right in front of my face, and I can't just let it go without looking at all the parts first!" he yelled dramatically, waving a screwdriver in his hands.

Goku simply scowled at him. "No, that's my only ticket off this rock and I can't have you dismantling it just because of your selfish desires." Varrick just turned around to face him with an incredulous look.

"This isn't selfish! This is a way to help our world grow in technological power and increase our standard of living, for crying out loud! And I can get a profit out of it too!" he exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air, forgetting completely about the unselfish part.

Kuvira, who was escorting Goku, stepped up. "This isn't a negotiation, Varrick! We could just send you back to Republic City, seeing as how you are a fugitive," she threatened, knowing that he was scared easily.

And she was right. He threw his screwdriver in the air and clanged on the floor. "Alright fine! Geez, you get a man to lead the technology department and this is how he gets treated!" He patted his tunic, even though there wasn't even any dust on it. He started to walk out of the door and looked back. "Come on Zhu Li! We have a thing to do!" His assistant immediately left the room with him.

After the eccentric businessman left, Goku pulled up to the pod and looked at it. He hadn't been able to get a good look on it before but it was much bigger than he thought it would be. Fortunately for him, it looked like it was still intact, which was good. He wondered how he had opened it the last time and tried a command. "Open sesame!" Nothing happened and Goku just looked at it with a blank face. He looked to Kuvira, who stood their shaking her head. "Do you know how to open it?"

She looked at him incredulously. "What?! No! Do I look like I know how to operate alien technology?" Goku scratched his head and tried to think of another way to open it. He put a hand on the window of the ship and suddenly the inside of it flashed as the pod began to open. He drew his hand away and moved out of the doors way. Just then, Korra, Mako and Bolin walked into the room.

"Hey Goku," Korra greeted.

"What's up," Mako said as well.

"How's it hanging?" Bolin joined in as well.

Goku looked back at them with a grin and waved. "Hey guys!" Team Avatar minus Asami looked at the pod with curiosity. It was spherical and had a hatch in the front with a lot of buttons and controls. The Saiyan tried to get up from the wheelchair he was on, but hissed again in pain when his leg started to act up again. "Damn it." He limped to the front of the pod and sat on the seat, which was surprisingly comfortable.

He tried to command it again. "Computer?" The buttons and controls suddenly flashed with light as the ship turned on. The others backed away a bit, surprised by the nature of their alien companion's ship.

"Yes?"

Surprised that even worked, he tried to talk to it. "What planet am I on?"

"Jeice, you are now currently outside Frieza's territory, on Planet BW45, or known as 'Earth'. The inhabitants must be wiped out immediately for galactic sale."

Goku was horrified by that. It seems that this was the next planet on Frieza's list. Thankfully he defeated his soldiers before that could happen. Meanwhile, Team Avatar couldn't believe what they were hearing. Their planet was supposed to be purged of everything? "Our planet was supposed to be destroyed?!" Korra gasped.

Goku nodded grimly. "It's a good thing I put down Frieza's soldiers. Otherwise it could've led to the worst."

"So that means we would've had an alien invasion?" Mako questioned. Goku nodded to him and Mako groaned. "Great, it would've been the Red Lotus and weird space guys...no offense to you," he clarified.

Goku shrugged and went back to toying around with his pod. "Computer, is there anyway I can get to another Planet Earth?"

"1 other listing of Planet Earth: Coordinates FX50 in the singular star system of Sol of the Orion Arm, 128.45 light years direct route."

"I have no idea what that just said," Bolin commented. Korra nudged his shoulders.

"Hush up, Bolin," she said as she also tried to figure out what the heck that ship was saying.

Goku put a hand on his chin. He didn't how far 128 light years was but if it had a hundred in it, then that means it must be really far away. Would the ship even go that far? "Does the ship have enough fuel to make it in one trip?"

"Negative. The propellant tank is only 23% full. Furthest distance before ship failure: 31.83 light years. Would you like to visit Planet Frieza 22 to refuel?"

Goku was about to say yes, but then just rejected it. "Uh, no that wouldn't work for me. Is there any other planet I could go to?"

"List of stops outside the empire: Planet Ykame, 29 light years, Planet Irindtim, 24 light years, and Planet Yardrat, 14 light years. List of stops-"

Goku cut the computer off, making his choice. "I think I'll take Yardrat. How long will it take to get there?"

"Planet Yardrat: Distance 14 light years. Travel time 41 Earth days. Abundance in resources very high. Appropriate fuel for tank is positive. Would you like to set a course now?"

Goku's eyes widened and yelped. "No! Don't set a course yet!" He calmed down when the computer stopped preparing for travel. "Ok computer, that's all I needed to know. Thanks." With that, the system shut down along with the lights with a slight hum.

A yawn was heard from Bolin, stretching his arms to get rid of the fatigue in them. "Well I'm beat today. I going to take a nap guys. I'll see you tomorrow," he waved to them and walked out of the door.

Mako started towards the door as well. "I think I'll hit the hay too. I need to figure out where I'm staying," with that thought he walked out of the lab. Now only Goku and Korra remained inside.

"So Goku," Korra spoke up. The Saiyan turned to face her. "Mind explaining what that just said?"

"Yeah. I can get to my home planet but I have to take a pit stop along the way. There's barely any fuel left in this thing," he summarized. Trying to get out of the pod, he lifted his good leg to not touch any buttons, but stumbled out of it anyways and fell on his rear.

Korra walked up to him and pulled him up, placing an arm on her shoulders. "Damn you're heavy as hell," Korra grunted. The Water Tribe girl took a glance at his arms and gaped. She didn't notice it before but this guy was jacked as hell too, not seeing even an ounce of fat on the guy. "Quite the muscle man too huh?" the words came out of her mouth before she could process it and put a hand around her mouth.

Goku blinked and looked down at her. "What did you say?" he asked, thinking she said something to him.

She quickly denied saying anything, internally reprimanding herself for trying to check him out and got a little flustered. They trudged over to the wheelchair where he was unceremoniously dropped.

"Thank a lot Korra. My leg's the only thing left to heal and it's getting in the way of everything," he told her. That leg of his was getting to his nerves now. Korra raised an eyebrow.

"If you need healing, then I can do it," she offered him, slightly reaching a hand out towards him.

Goku's eyes snapped to her but then looked a little guilty. These people had given him so much hospitality but he's still in this sorry state. "I appreciate it, but it's ok. You guys have done a lot and I don't know to repay you."

"It's alright superman! You saved us from those aliens that were going to invade us, so think of it as a token of gratitude," she smiled while giving him a slap on the back. Goku laughed and then relented.

"Well I guess I can't stop you then. How are you going to do it anyways?" he asked. They most certainly did not have Senzu beans or a healing chamber, but he trusted her with what she was doing.

Korra got a smug look on her face and crossed her arms underneath her chest. "Well, I am one of the best waterbenders around as well as having great healing abilities." As a demonstration, the Avatar took water particles out of thin air and condensed them into ice shards hovering in place. The Saiyan was impressed by this ability. If she could get water out of thin air, then she might never have to thirst. She then flung them to the other side of the room where they penetrated the wall and stuck there.

"Now I'm kinda scared," Goku joked. Korra recognized that and laughed as well, pulling the ice spikes from the wall and turning them into a liquid.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you too bad," she joked back. The liquid made its way to Goku's leg and did something that surprised him. The water started to glow at her will while moving her hands on his leg, but the bandages were getting in the way so they had to go. "Could you take these off? I can't work at my best if these are in front of me," she requested. Goku did as he was told and peeled them off his skin slowly, thinking it was good riddance.

Once Korra started, she was a little flabbergasted. Normally if a person was healing on their own, she couldn't tell, but this guy's wounds were already closing before treating them. It was only a matter of getting the bone back into place. It took a few moments but she could sense it correcting itself now and soon everything in his leg was healed.

She stood up and clapped her hands, signaling she was done. Goku felt like he was in heaven the entire time she was healing him. Her abilities felt way better then the instantaneous rejuvenation the Senzu's provided, and soothed him a lot. "Well you're all set now, superman. Check it out and see for yourself."

Korra definitely knew what she was doing, as he started to walk back and forth in the lab. There wasn't even the slightest hint of pain in his being anymore. It was safe to say that he was back to 100 percent now. "Wow, Korra! I don't think I can thank you enough. You really do know your stuff," he complimented, feeding her already large ego.

Grinning, she put her hands on her hips. "I know I'm awesome Goku, don't need to keep on telling me."

"Yeah well if you need any favors, don't hesitate to ask alright?" He started to walk out of the door when a hand was clasped on his shoulder. He looked back to see Korra with a smirk.

"I think I have a favor for you."
