An skeleton-thin man wearing potara earrings floated over a planet in the south galaxy. His skin was gray, his wide-spread mohawk was white, his ears were pointed and round, and his eyes lacked any color. The planet was full of lush trees, water, and grass. The man pointed both of his both of his hands at the planet. Energy gathered around his hands the same way as it would for the spirit bomb, but the energy flowed into him. The green on the planet slowly turned darker and browner, and the water began to dry. He continued absorbing the energy from the planet until it was nothing more than a dried rock covered in dirt.
The man's hair turned silver, and his skin turned pale. His body gained thickness over his bones as he was slowly being rejuvenated. Two horn sprouted from under his hair. He took a deep breath as his toothless mouth grew sharp teeth.
"More...energy..." The man said as his eyes turned purple. He slowly drifted towards other planets with black and red ki surrounding him. "More... power..."
"This is age 750, planet Earth. This timeline is of a newly hatched egg from Toki Toki. Kakarot, Vegeta, and many other significant Saiyan figures died on planet Vegeta from Frieza's attack, but there are still some that were left alive" A teenage girl said into a scouter from behind a tree, "This Saiyan's an elite-born warrior who was sent to Earth, he attacked the Red Ribbon Army for blah blah blah..."
She pressed her pink scouter once and turned it off. She yawned loudly and looked up at the clear blue sky. She carefully peeked from behind the tree to see a tall muscular man meditating on a stump in the ground in front of a dojo. His long, spiky hair waved by his neck as the wind blew against him. His eyes were closed shut, and his tail was wrapped around his waist. He wore nothing but the pants of a school's gi and martial arts shoes. The patroller sighed in disinterest as she hid behind the tree again.
"A whole new timeline was made, and the patrollers decided a mechanic was the best person to send to investigate. What a joke" The time patroller said as she leaned on the tree and dosed off, "Whatever, just wait until the scrolls are done recording the events here, and then you can go back to building and fixing ships at base"
The girl's eyes began to close as she leaned her head back with her straight green hair pressed against the tree. She began to softly snore with her legs crossed. A pair of squirrels looked down on her from a tree above. They started to chitter among each other with acorns in their hands. Spontaneously, one dropped its acorn on top of the time patroller. She woke up startled as she saw the acorn fall next to her, and she angrily looked up at the mischievous squirrels. The squirrels chuckled at each other before trying to drop a second one, but both of the squirrels and the acorn were engulfed in a yellow ki blast.
The patroller blew the smoke off of her palm and continued to dose off, ignoring the two squirrel skeletons falling next to her. "Damn squirrels, like one or two would have an impact on time..." She said as she made a quick glance at the Saiyan.
When she saw the Saiyan, the Saiyan was looking right at her. The Saiyan looked up at the tree that the patroller had scorched with her blast alone, and he looked back at her. He got up from the stump and walked over to her with a cold stare. The patroller, realizing she had just jeopardized the mission, stood up immediately with a pale face.
Shit! She thought as she looked at the Saiyan, I'm screwed beyond time itself! No, wait... She looked down as she came to a realization. Time patrollers only have one shot to knockout someone in a timeline to make sure nothing weird time-related happens. Something about it being like we were never there to begin with! She looked at the Saiyan with a determined pair of eyes. Yeah! I'll just hide the tree I burnt afterwards, and everything'll be fine! She floated towards the Saiyan with a hostile glare. She landed with her fists raised.
"Nothing personal, mister" She said as she adopted a fighting stance and bounced, "I'm gonna have to beat you up until I'm nothing more than a dream to you!"
The patroller threw a lightning fast punch at the man's stomach, but the tall man caught her fist without breaking his pose. She grunted before throwing a second powerful punch, and the man deflected the fist away from him. The teenager, made angrier, began to throw a fury of punches at the tall man, but the tall man's guard wasn't broken nor did he step backwards. He continued to block and deflect every strike the teenager threw at him. She quickly jumped away with a backflip and lunged at him to try and land a clear strike to his face, but the tall man grabbed her face midair with his hand long before she could get close enough. The patroller struggled in his grasp, trying to claw his hand away and shake out of his grasp but to no avail. She pointed the palm of her hand at the man to use a ki blast, but the tall man lifted her for a second before violently slamming her face into the ground.
A large crater formed beneath the both of them after the side of her face touched the ground. Her scouter shattered from the impact. She gave the Saiyan one last glare before she fell limp. The Saiyan, unfazed by the attack or her current state of health, pressed the tip of his fingers in the side of her neck, and he still felt a pulse. He silently picked the teenager up and slung her over his shoulder, and he carried her into the dojo behind him.
