Chapter two, here we go! This is where it's really going to start to diverge from the original story.

The evil saiyan Raditz casually reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small capsule like object.

"Hmm, seems there's only one left." He said. Inside the clear capsule you could see what looked to be a small bean.

"All well, it will be worth it to see to see the look of horror on your face!" He laughed. He opened up the capsule and took out the bean, then poked a hole in the ground and dropped it in. He then pulled out a jar filled with green goop.

"Err, what are you doing?" Piccolo asked.

"Oh just watch green man, trust me." Raditz said as he poured some of the green stuff on the spot where the bean was buried. He then stood up, and just started at it.

"What are you doing!" Piccolo yelled. Just as he asked that, the ground started to crack, and move upwards. Then, all of the sudden, a little green man jumped up and out of the ground!

"Wha-what is that?" Piccolo asked in horror.

"Ahahahaha! Look at your face! Just like I said, your terrified! Ahahahaha!" Raditz laughed.

"Grrr, JUST SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHAT THAT IS!" Piccolo screamed.

"Oh, you'd be wise not to get on my bad side green man." Raditz warned. Piccolo ignored the comment.

"Anyway, this, is a saibaman. A mindless weapon used by the saiyans. And guess what, he's just as strong as me." Raditz mocked. Piccolo stumbled back at that.

"Wh-what! It's just as strong as him! This doesn't look very good for me..." Piccolo thought.

"Hehe, well that's enough talk. Saibaman, attack!" Raditz commanded. At that exact moment the saibaman lunged at Piccolo.

"OOMF!" Piccolo grunted as he was punched full force in the stomach. The saibaman then backed up and let Piccolo fall down to his hands and knees.

"Cough cough, ugh." He started panting heavily. He wasn't prepared for such a forceful hit. Meanwhile, Raditz stood over him, laughing hysterically.

"Oh man, how am I supposed to beat this guy! That was an incredibly hard and fast attack!" Piccolo thought. He then picked his head and studied the Saibaman.

"Ok, I just have to think. Whatever this thing is, it's strong, But dumb. I just have to outsmart it." Piccolo then got up to his feet, and got back in his combat stance.

"I only have one chance to do this, I'd better not screw up!" He thought.

"Oh, oheheheha, oh green man! Are you ok! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Raditz laughed. Piccolo was getting really mad now, but he couldn't lose focus. He started at the Saibaman and waited for it to make the first move. And so it did. Faster then the human eye can see, the Saibaman once again lunged for Piccolo. But this time, he was ready. Piccolo grabbed the Saibamans fist, then grabbed its head, and threw it face first into the ground. While his opponent was stunned, Piccolo took off away from the area as fast as he could. He noticed a dark cave at the base of the mountain.

"Perfect." He said with a smile.

"Grrr, get up you fool! Don't let him get away!" Raditz screamed at the Saibaman. The Saibaman listened to its master and took off after Piccolo. But even though Piccolo got a head start, the Saibaman soon caught up. It made some unwritable sound, then placed both of it's hands over its head, then brought them down as a ki blast chases after Piccolo.

"WHA-" Piccolo quickly turned around, and put both of his hands over his head.

"MASENKO!" He screamed as his own ki blast met with the Saibamans. Piccolo was putting everything he had into it, but the Saibaman wasn't even trying.

"GRR...HAAAA!" Piccolo shouted again as more energy was put into the attack. Still, the Saibaman was doing fine. Eventually he had enough, and pushed his attack through.

"Guh, no!" Piccolo said. But there was no escaping it, he was engulfed in the attack. As the smoke slowly cleared, he was visible, still flying in the air, but in obvious pain. Parts of his clothing was burnt off, he was bleeding, and he was panting heavily. But still, he didn't give up, he clenched his fists and flew straight at the Saibaman. He through a punch, but the Saibaman dodged and was about to counter.

"HOOF!" Grunted the saibaman was he himself was his instead! Piccolo quickly brought up his foot and kicked the Saibaman!

"Heh, just like I said, you've got power but no skill to back it up." Piccolo said. He followed up the kick with a combination of punches, and finished with another ki blast. The Saibaman was blown away, but still pretty much unhurt.

"Grrr, I'm not doing any damage!" Piccolo said. He then looked back towards the cave.

"Just a bit longer." He said. Just then, The Saibaman attacked again, and landed a solid blow to Piccolo's face, and followed up with a kick sending Piccolo flying towards the earth.

"NOOOO!" He screamed as he landed with a loud crash.

"Errr, ugh." He grunted as he stumbled back to his feet.

"Hahahaha! Oh this is just great!" Raditz laughed. "Let's see what his power level is now." Raditz said as he turned his scouter on. But instead of reading Piccolo's power, the scouter instead starting reading one coming from far away from Piccolo. It seemed to be coming straight out of the ground.

"Hmm, what's this? I'm getting a power level of 700 coming from right below me." Raditz said. He jumped off the cliff and floated down to find a cave, with a strange light coming from inside. Raditz walked in to find the surprise of his life.

"WHA- How! Y-your supposed to be out there!" Raditz screamed as he saw none other then Piccolo inside the cave.

"Hehe, that's a little technique called multi-form. I'm not the real me, the one out there is. I'm just a copy, while he's been stalling you and your pet, I've been charging my ultimate attack!" Piccolo grunted. He had two fingers extended out and on his forehead, that's where the light was coming from.

"Normally this attack would be twice as powerful, but I had to sacrifice half my power in order for the technique to work. But this should hopefully be enough to take care of you." Piccolo said with a smile.

"! You idiot! Do you honestly think I'm just going to stand here and let you hit me with that!" Raditz screamed.

"Oh don't worry, I know you'll try to dodge. That's what he's here for." Piccolo said. Suddenly Raditz was grabbed from behind by yet another copy.

"What the! What's this!" Raditz asked.

"That's another copy, also made from the original, he's hear to hold you in place." Piccolo said.

"NO! You really think he can, hurg, hold me! I'm far, Rah, stronger!" Raditz said in between grunts.

"Don't worry, he won't have to hold you for long!" Piccolo yelled.

"What! You don't mean-"

"Yes, I do. It's done!" Piccolo yelled.

"Now, get ready! Special beam CANNON!" Piccolo screamed as he shot his fingers forward and a large amount of energy shot from his finger tips. Meanwhile, the Piccolo copy was still fighting with the Saibaman.

"Yes, I can feel it! Now I just have to lure it over there." He thought.

"Hey ugly! Why don't you come over here and fight me seriously!" He yelled to The Saibaman.

"Grrr..." Growled the Saibaman as he charged Piccolo.

"Here we go." Piccolo said as he got ready. Just as The Saibaman through a punch, Piccolo dodged it.

"THAT WAS SLOPPY!" Piccolo screamed as he hit The Saibaman as hard as he could, sending it flying in the perfect direction. It landed directly outside of the cave, just as the special beam cannon came flying towards Raditz.

"NO! NO! I WILL NOT BE DONE IN BY THIS!" Raditz screamed as he broke free of the Piccolo copy. But it was to late, the special beam cannon was already there, and it hit Raditz full force, piercing his armor and going pretty deep into his skin. It sent him flying backwards, but still didn't get deep enough to kill him. He landed directly on top of the Saibaman, keeping him from getting up for another minute.

"Well, looks like I was right, the copy didn't have enough power to do kill him." Piccolo said. He then brought his right arm forward and pointed it at Raditz, then used to other arm to support it.

"This won't kill him, but it will stall him long enough for me to get outta here." Piccolo said. He then charged up another attack.

"DESTRUCTIVE WAVE!" he screamed as his energy flew towards Raditz. It hit him and the Saibaman head on, and the explosion caused the cave to collapse on top of them, but also on top of the copies.

"Guess it was a good idea to send him in there instead of me after all." Piccolo said with a smile. He then took off as fast as he could in his extremely damaged state. He was out of the area in seconds, leaving Raditz and the Saibaman behind, buried under all the rubble.

"RAAAAAARGH!" Raditz screamed as he bursted out from all the rubble. He grabbed his stomach and stumbled away.

"N-no! Th-this can't be! How could I of been beaten!" He asked. He continued to stumble away from the battlefield with The Saibaman close behind. Suddenly his scouter started beeping.

"Eh?" He asked as he pressed a button. The very first thing he heard was uncontrollable laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, poor Raditz was nearly killed by someone with a power level of 322! Oh ahahahaha!" Raditz started to grind his teeth.

"Vegeta..." He said. At that comment, Vegeta quickly changed his demeanor.

"Oh Raditz, you pathetic excuse for a saiyan! How dare you lose to that weakling! You are a disgrace to the saiyan race!" Vegeta screamed. Raditz said nothing.

"Were coming to earth, we should be there in about a year. Were going to teach those earthlings what real saiyans can do, and if your still alive when we get there, we just might teach you as well." And with that, Vegeta turned off his scouter. Raditz stood there for a few moments, with his teeth clenched, and his fists balled. Suddenly he reached up and took off his scouter.

"Vegeta...VEGETA!" Raditz crushed his scouter into a million pieces as he said that. He then turned to the Saibaman.

"AAAAAARRRRRGH! VEGETA, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME! I'LL SHOW YOU! I'LL SHOW YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!" Raditz blasted the Saibaman with a full power ki blast, completely obliterating it. The pain in Raditz's stomach was incredible, but he ignored it. He was going to go and kill every last human on the planet. He took off and flew towards the city. He got there very soon, and hovered over it for a minute.

"These fools, THERE ALL FOOLS! THEY DESERVE TO DIE!" Raditz screamed. He raised his hand in the air and started charging his ultimate attack. But he was getting dizzy, the pain from the hole in his stomach was becoming unbearable. Then, just when his attack was fully charged, he fainted. He fell all the way to the ground below, and made a large crater with his fall.

Meanwhile, at Kame house

"Ahahaha! Heheheha!" Everyone was laughing simultaneously, and all having a good time. Goku and Gohan had arrived some time ago and met with Goku's old friends, Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi. Gohan was shy at first, but soon warmed up to everyone, and now they were all having a good time. That is, they were having a good time, until an unwelcomed guest showed up. Goku's smile quickly turned into a frown as he started into the sky.

"Hehe, Goku, what's the ma-AAAHHH! I-I-I-I-I-" Krillin continued to stutter.

"What? What is it?" Bulma asked.

"I-i-i-it's...PICCOLO!" Krillin screamed as he pointed at the sky. As soon as they saw him, everyone started screaming, and Gohan ran behind his father's legs to hide.

"What do you want?" Goku asked.

"Relax, I'm not here to fight." Piccolo said. He was obviously in a lot of pain, partly do to the beating he got from The Saibaman, and partly do to all the energy he lost when his copies were killed. His energy would eventually replenish, but at the moment he was weaker then ever.

"Then what do you want!" Goku yelled.

"Daddy?" Gohan asked on the verge of tears.

"Bulma, get Gohan inside." Goku said without taking his eyes off Piccolo. Bulma instantly grabbed Gohan, but he was hanging on to his father for dear life.

"No! no, I want to stay with my daddy!" Gohan cried.

"Gohan, we have to go inside now!" Krillin said as he to started to join in on the game of tug od war. Goku was starting to lose balance now. Piccolo was waiting paitiently for them to finish.

"Gohan! Come inside now! It's to dangerous!" Master Roshi said.

"Gohan please go inside!" Goku said.

"No! I wanna stay with you daddy!" Gohan cried. Then, with one big tug from Master Roshi, Goku fell to the ground on top of everyone else. Piccolo rolled his eyes at the comedy display in front of him.

"Listen! I don't have time for this! I just came to warn you, there's an unimaginably powerful alien on the planet, he's stronger then both of us combined, and I don't think he's very friendly. I came across him myself and now I'm on the verge of death, the only reason I was able to escape was because he was overconfident. I doubt he'll make the same mistake twice, so be on your guard. And I reccomend you get to some real training done. I managed to injure him, but he won't be out of action forever." Picccolo said.

"Wait, an alien? What are you talking about?" Goku asked.

"I don't quite know myself, all he said was he's looking for a guy named Kakarot." Piccolo said.

"And why should we trust you?" Krillin asked.

"Fine, don't! Get killed, I really don't care!" Piccolo yelled. This was enough to scare Krillin half to death. Gohan also proceeded to cry even louder.

"Heh, that's a brave kid you got there." Piccolo said. And without another word, he took off.

"What do you make of that Goku?" Master Roshi asked.

"I don't know, but that name, Kakarot, it sounds so familiar." Goku said. He then looked at Gohan who was hysterical.

"And maybe some training wouldn't be a bad idea either." He said with a smile.
