ARRIVAL AT THE KAME HOUSE

PICCOLO

Piccolo was sitting on top of a hill thinking of the various ways in which he could defeat Goku. It is the only thing in his mind now, and he was focusing all his energy on that sole purpose. "Someday, I will beat you Goku!", Piccolo thought to himself.

Just then, he felt a huge power level coming towards him. It was much more than he had ever felt before. It was as if, the power was not of this planet at all. He turned around and looked around with wide eyes to find the source of the power. He knew that it was coming closer and closer. "It can't be Goku.", Piccolo thought. "It is too horrible".

Then he saw someone coming, just above him. "Who is that!?", he exclaimed. The person then landed in front of him, and said, "I hope you don't mind me dropping in. I was searching for a man named Karkarot. I thought you were him.". The person was wearing some kind of armour and a device that Piccolo was seeing the first time.

"Well, you thought wrong. Now turn away and go wherever you came from before I decide to kill you!", Piccolo said.

"Well, someone is having a really bad day. You make me laugh.", the guy said with a smirk.

"Good thing that, you get my point. Now go away!", Piccolo said angrily.

Raditz gave a small laugh and said, "You would like that, wouldn't you?". He then turned on the scouter to check the power level. The person in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't place where. He knew that the person was not from the planet. The scouter read 322. "You have a level of three hundred and twenty-two. Impressive. I can see that you are definitely on this planet. But be a smart person and don't attack me."

"Listen to me!", Piccolo said. "You are the person that came to me! Not the other way around! I have no intention of starting a fight!"

"But I do!", Raditz said with a smirk.

Piccolo was getting more and angrier as the standoff continued. He then flexed his muscle and sent a beam to the person and it hit him head-on. Piccolo smiled in triumph. But when the dust cleared he was shocked to see that, the beam didn't do any damage.

Raditz gave an evil laugh and said, "Impressive. I think you managed to kill one cell in my body. But let me demonstrate something better. I call it a double sundae.". He then kept his hand in the air to get the energy needed for the blast. Then he got a sudden reading in his scouter which had a huge level as the person in front of him. He thought that this must be his brother. "Well, I see that you must be lucky for now old man. But I assure you that, I will come back for you, hopefully with the person I am looking for." He then took off into the air and scanned the area to find the direction. He then found that the level was near the boundary of the scouters range and took off in that direction.

HOME OF THE TURTLE HERMIT

Master Roshi was sitting in his lounging chair and was reading the latest issue of his favourite magazine. It was a really peaceful day, as it had been for the past five years. It was like how it was at the time, before the arrival of the red ribbon army and king piccolo for him. Not even the so-called the second world war had affected him. The government had taken care of isolating this area of Japan that had totally different properties from the rest of the world. The Red Ribbon army had come very close to that, but they were thankfully defeated by Goku before the land could be disturbed by the outside influence. King Piccolo thankfully stayed in the piece of land as he wanted to take revenge on the people living there before he went onto conquer the world. The part of the country was protected by the government was protected as the inhabitants of the island had some unusual properties such as talking turtles, and even pigs who could transform into any shape. It was very unclear as to how the inhabitants got the powers, but the emperor knew that, if the outside world knew about it, they would be very interested in the place and would invade them, and exploit them.

(The conversation here is assumed to be taking place in Japanese)

Just then, he heard someone arriving at his home and saw that it was Krillin. "Hello, Master Roshi. It has been a long time.", Krillin said with a smile.

"Well, hello Krillin. I am very happy to see you.", Master Roshi said as he kept his magazine in the chair.

"I heard from Bulma that, she was also planning to visit you along with Goku.", Krillin said. "They should be arriving anytime now."

Just after that, Bulma arrived in the capsule corp vehicle. Capsule corp was a company which to the outside world produced some cool vehicles, but in secret, they developed some advanced stuff for the Japanese government. But some of this tech did fall into the hands of bad guys like the red ribbon army and was popping up in other parts of the world. They also offered some humanitarian services to the parts of the world that were struck by disasters and even stuck up a partnership with Stark Industries after in 2008 for research into clean energy.

"Hello, Master Roshi and Krillin. Has Goku arrived here yet?", Bulma asked.

"Nope. We are still waiting for his arrival.", Krillin said.

"It sure has been a long time, since we met huh?", Bulma asked.

"Yep, you look as beautiful as ever.", Master Roshi said rising up. Then they exchanged some brief pleasantries as Bulma gave Master Roshi a gift.

"So, how is Yamcha doing nowadays, Bulma?", Krillin asked.

"He had the guts to date someone else when he went to the baseball game. So I dumped him, and didn't even inform him of me coming here.", Bulma said.

"Well, breaking up is hard to do.", Master Roshi said sadly and Krillin agreed with a nod. Just then Krillin found something to eat in Bulma's bag and started stuffing his mouth with it. They then heard a voice from the outside, "Hey, is there anybody home?". The three of them knew it was Goku and rushed to meet him.

"Hi!", Goku said jovially and the three of them noticed the kid Goku was carrying with him.

"Goku, who is the kid?", Bulma asked.

"You haven't taken to babysitting duties, have you?", Krillin asked.

"Nah, he is my son.", Goku said happily. Krillin, Bulma and Master Roshi were beyond shocked by the news that Goku gave them.

"Pretty wild huh?", Goku asked keeping his son on the ground.

"He is so adorable!", Bulma said happily.

"Gohan, say hi.", Goku said to the kid.

Gohan gave a polite bow and said, "Hello everyone."

The three of them bowed back. "So, I see that you have named him after his grandfather."

"You are right.", Goku said and saw Gohan being a bit scared of Master Roshi's pet turtle.

Bulma came and asked Gohan how old he was and what he wanted to become when he was older. Gohan replied that he was five and a half and wanted to become an orthopaedist. The others were disappointed with the fact that, Gohan didn't want to become a fighter like his dad.

Just then Bulma noticed the tail of the kid and said, "A tail."

"Yeah, he was born with it just like me!", Goku said.

Just then Krillin, Master Roshi and Bulma came to Goku and asked, "Goku, has anything happened to Gohan at night?"

"What do you mean?", Goku asked totally confused.

"She means that, whether Gohan has ever looked at the moon at night when it is full?", Master Roshi asked.

"Well, we all go to bed early so I don't think so. Why did you ask?", Goku said.

"Why?", Master Roshi was relieved at the news and said, "Oh for absolutely no reason at all."

They then stood over there and discussed the past and how was the training going on. Just then Master Roshi, Krillin and Goku something and looked around to the horizon to see what was happening. Everything had gone deadly quiet, as they focused on trying to find the person.

"What happened, guys?", Bulma asked.

"There is something coming. Something very powerful.", Goku said still looking at the horizon.

"Are you sure, Goku?", Bulma asked.

"He is right, Bulma. He is heading right toward us.", Krillin said.

"What can it be? I have never felt such power before. It is really horrible.", Goku said now looking at the sky. Then they saw something coming in their direction. "There! There!", Master Roshi exclaimed.

Seconds afterwards a person landed on the island. He was wearing what looked like an armour and had a long hair. The three fighters took their defensive pose so as to block whatever was coming.

"Karkarot, what have you been doing here all these years?", the person said angrily. "Your mission was to kill everyone on this planet."

Goku exchanged confused looks with the others. Even they looked clueless about what was happening.

"Listen, Mister. I have no idea, who you are. I think you have got the wrong party.", Krillin said and went towards the person. "Now, go from here. Shoo, shoo."

Goku then saw some mysterious light on the man's armour and knew something was wrong. "Krillin get away!", Goku said but it was too late as the person kicked Krillin away and he crashed into a part of the wooden house.

Goku then looked at the person angrily and found that he had a tail. "A tail! He has a tail!", he exclaimed.

"So you realize who I am. That is really good.", the man said with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?", Goku asked angrily. "I have no idea who you are!"

Just then Gohan ran and grabbed Goku for protection. Goku asked Gohan to go back to safety.

Then the man asked Goku whether he had suffered an injury to his head when he was young. To which Goku replied that he did have something like that, but didn't remember anything about it. Then Master Roshi began to explain what had happened. "Goku, Your Grandfather found you in a dense forest in some sort of a space pod. He then took you to take care of you. But you were wild and controllable and was not open to his love and was very powerful for a baby. Then there was an accident one day, that caused you to hit your head, and suddenly you completely transformed into a good and normal boy."

"So, I am from outer space?", Goku asked.

"Yes.", Master Roshi said.

"Alright. Now I am listening. Who are you?", Goku said looking at the person.

Then Krillin came out of the place he had fallen and said, "Be careful, Goku! He is not normal!"

"You are not normal either, my forgetful friend. You are born on the planet of Vegeta. A Saiyan warrior. A proud member of a race that, even the Xandarians and even the Kree had feared once."

At the revelation, everyone was completely shocked including Goku. They had no idea, who Xandarians and the Kree were but it still was a big revelation.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Raditz, your big brother.", the guy said. Everyone was even more shocked by this revelation.

"Why should I believe you!?", Goku asked angrily.

"Yeah. That's right! Why does Goku live on earth, if he is from some other planet?", Krillin asked.

"That's a simple question. We had clients, that were in desperate need of a planet like this one. You were sent here to make it ready for a takeover.", Raditz said with an evil smile.

"You see, our race is sort of like Planet brokers. We go to planets that were interested in other parties and make them ready for sale. You were sent to this planet for the same purpose, but he obviously forgot his mission.", Raditz said.

"If what you are saying is true. Then, you Saiyans are space pirates! You guys are an abomination!", Krillin said.

"Oh, I wouldn't call myself that. But there are plenty out there, like the Kree, the Yondu and his gang of ravagers-", Raditz said.

"I don't care about the others! How can you send small babies to destroy a planet?", Bulma asked.

"That's enough! You could have destroyed this planet in just a few full moons if you had just remembered!", Raditz said.

"What has full moon got to do with all this!", Goku asked. But the others knew, what was coming. Raditz then looked at Goku's back and found that the tail was missing.

"What happened to your tail, Karakot!?", Raditz asked angrily.

"My tail!?", Goku asked giving a glance at his back. "Why!?"

"Answer me!", Raditz demanded. "You have lost your ability to transform during the full moon!"

"Now listen! This is my home and my friends, no matter what you say I am!", Goku said. "I am Goku and I live here! I will protect my friends with my life if I have to. Now leave us alone!"

"Even if he's your brother, he will not destroy peaceful planets like you do!", Master Roshi said.

"Oh, destroying this planet is not the only purpose of me being here. There is a greater purpose than just destroying this puny planet.", Raditz said.

"Whatever your plan is, Goku will never be a part of it. Goku even saved this planet.", Krillin said.

"So, my baby brother wants to be left alone, huh? Well, it's a pity that I can't allow that.", Raditz said. "I think I will give you another reason then. Our planet Vegeta was destroyed by an intergalactic tyrant named Frieza and most of our race is now dead. We have a weapon here on this planet so that we can get revenge for the death of our people."

"I don't care what your intentions are, but if you came here for destruction, I will not support you in any way!", Goku said angrily.

"Interesting.", Raditz smirked and looked towards Gohan and saw the tail on his body. "Now there's a true Saiyan. I will take the boy instead."

"You will see!", Goku said and gave a battle pose.

"I see the fire in you, brother. It is in your blood. The love for a fight.", he said and started coming towards Goku, and Goku and Krillin got ready for a fight.

"I have got you, Goku.", Krillin said.

"Just take care of Gohan.", Goku said to Krillin and prepared himself for a kick or punch. But then Raditz came to him with such sheer speed that, Goku didn't notice it, and he got a kick with Raditz's knee on his stomach. Goku felt a pain that, he had experienced very rarely before and landed on his back just near the ocean water. He was now groaning in pain, as Gohan ran toward him calling for him. Then Raditz picked Gohan while he was coming and said, "Karkarot, listen to me. I am taking your son with me. Its hard time that he be with his uncle for some family time. I will give you two options. One, you either kill hundred people by twenty-four hours and prove your worth or find information about the object that I am trying to locate here. It is called an infinity stone, and it is for sure located somewhere on this planet. Do, either of those and join me to fight and retrieve the stone."

"If you choose the first option, you can always start with the people here.", Raditz said looking at the others and went up with Gohan and flew away into the horizon.

NICK FURY

"What do we do, sir? We have absolutely no idea where the person in this pod has gone to.", Clint Barton said.

"This whole thing is mysterious. It is as if, the person has vanished into thin air. There are no footprints or any sign that a person has walked on the ground.", another agent said. "Except near the place where the farmer was found dead, there are no marks of any person."

"How is that even possible", Nick Fury thought to himself. Then he remembered the New Mexico incident. He knew that there were aliens which were more powerful and even advanced than humankind in the universe. He knew that a full-on alien invasion would spell disaster for humanity. It was one of the reasons why he had started the Avengers initiative. He had a feeling that, he might have to bring the Avengers into this. But before that, "I think we should go on a search. We need ground troops and air troops as fast as we can. Set up a perimeter around this pod and see whether the alien will return or not."

He then addressed one of the senior agents in the group and said, "I am making you in charge of looking after this pod, while we come with more reinforcements. Send some agents to scan the area for clues. Barton, come with me. The agents all nodded and went to fulfil their orders. Nick Fury and Clint Barton boarded the plane and went back to Tokyo to get more people.
