THE ARRIVAL

Raditz was now in a state of sleep in the pod heading towards planet earth. His mission was to obtain the infinity stone present in the planet and to find and recruit his little brother to their cause. He knew that there were two parties that were looking for the infinity stones all over the universe. One was the Frieza force and the other one was the mad titan Thanos. Both the groups had fought each other numerous number of times for domination, but there was no clear victor anytime. But it had been some years since the last conflict, and they were now in a time of peace. That was mainly because, Frieza came to know from one of the spies that Thanos had one of the infinity stones with him. Thankfully the forces of Thanos also seemed uninterested in fighting them.

Raditz wakes up when a voice in the pod said that, they were going to arrive on earth shortly. He had programmed his pod to land in a place where he could find a power level that would be similar to a Saiyan. Each race in the universe had a specific kind of power that distinguished one race from another. He knew that, if his brother was still alive, he would have a very good power level compared to others on the planet and would be easy to find once he lands in the location. He then felt the thud sound of landing, as he landed on the planet. The hatch of the pod opened automatically and he got out. He took his scouter and attached to his ear so that he can view the power levels with his left eye. The scouter's couldn't detect the type of energy, hence he had to search for his brother by trial and error.

"Looks like Karkarot is still alive.", Raditz thought to himself and flew to the top of the crater and saw someone standing there. He had something that looked like a primitive weapon in his hand. The man was clearly frightened of his presence. He then adjusted his turned his scouter on to get the reading of the man in front of him. It showed just a mere five. "You are threatening me when you have a power level of five? How foolish are you?"

The farmer pointed the metal thing at him and shot him with something metallic. He caught the metal thing easily and smirked at the person. The human was shocked and started getting away from him, but Raditz shot the metal thing to the human and it hit him directly on his chest. The human dropped dead easily.

"This is just a race of very primitive people. They surely don't deserve the power of the infinity stones.", Raditz thought to himself and launched himself into the air and went searching for high power levels nearby. He wanted to go for his brother first as he knew that one more hand would make the search easier.

SHIELD HEADQUARTERS 2 DAYS AGO

Director Nick Fury was in his office looking through the files they had of the object that they knew would impact earth in a couple of days. They could not ascertain the place where the object was going to land, as the object seemed to be slowing down a bit as it neared earth. This made the assumption that, the object was just a space rock even more strong. Then just days ago, a satellite near the moon captured the image of the object, and it was clearly seen that it was some kind of craft. The SHIELD then started taking measures to make sure that, they can deploy their forces on time. Now they were having a meeting about the approximate place the craft would land. Nick Fury was joined by other top members such as agent Sitwell.

"Sir, we have the final calculation of where the object is going to impact the earth.", One of the Senior Scientists said.

"How accurate is the present projection?", Sitwell asked.

"We measured it according to the earth's rotation and the amount of speed decreasing. We found that the craft will land somewhere in the island of Japan.", the scientist said. "Unless the speed of the craft changes more dramatically than we thought, this will be the best assumption."

"Do we have any clue, what is inside the craft?", Nick Fury asked.

"No, sir. We couldn't determine what is inside that craft, with the images that we have.", the scientist said.

"So, Japan huh.", Agent Sitwell said turning to the director. "That, unfortunately, is a country that, we have very limited access to."

"Yes. The regime change 30 years ago changed their dynamic towards us.", Nick Fury said.

"The last time, they were under our radar closely was when the infamous Red Ribbon army had vanished, right?", Robert Gonzales asked.

"They told that there was no such activity in their soil though our intelligence suggested otherwise.", Fury said.

"Unfortunately our intelligence works only in the cities of Japan and some parts. The problem is that, some of the remote rural regions of the northeast.", Gonzales said.

"Stark does have a business co-operation with the Capsule corps there, isn't it? Maybe that contact will help us.", Victoria Hand suggested.

"Dr Brief is also a person under our radar, Victoria. As per our intelligence daughter is somehow involved in whatever is going on there.", Sitwell said.

"I will inform the Japanese government of the latest development, and somehow get their permission for us to be there.", Nick Fury said. They all nodded at him and talked about how to approach the problem.

Within a day, SHIELD was able to get permission from the Japanese government to move their troops there, as they realised the threat of the situation. They were able to base their operations on the city of Tokyo. They were holding their breaths in anticipation of the arrival of the object. They were joined by Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton. Then as the predicted day arrived, the anticipation was an all-time high.

Around twelve in the noon, they got a call. "Sir, we have unconfirmed reports of a strange thing falling from the sky!", agent Katherine said.

"Where is it from?", Fury asked.

"It is three hours of journey in air from here, sir. I will give the coordinates.", Katherine said.

"I think we should check that out.", Nick Fury said. "Romanoff, you stay here and see whether any other reports come and make a team to check it out."

"Yes, sir.", Agent Romanoff said.

"Barton, you come with me.", Fury said and took a team of agents to the given coordinates.

When the team arrived at the place, they found a crater on the ground and landed their craft there. They immediately went into the crater and saw a pod-like thing on the ground and saw that there was an open hatch.

"Agents Proceed with caution. Use force if necessary ", Nick Fury ordered. The soldiers raised their guns and went towards the pod. Thankfully, no one came out. They found that the pod was empty.

"Sir, the pod is empty!", one of them called out.

Then Nick Fury and Barton came near the pod and examined it. "There was definitely someone inside the pod.", Nick Fury said as he found some strands of long hair inside.

"But where is this person?", Barton asked.

Then they heard a shout from one of the agents who was told to scout outside the crater. When they went there, they found a body of someone who looked like a farmer. Barton immediately examined the body and said, "Bullet wound on his chest. I think that is the cause.", he said.

"The question is who killed him.", Nick Fury said. "and I have a strong idea who exactly did this.", he said looking at the pod. "We have to find this person. We need to find him immediately!"
