Piccolo returned to the gigantic, metal warehouse with the use of his immense speed. He had been meditiating slightly, but also working on ideas for this upcoming episode.
Kakashi did the same, after visiting the local library. However, he and the Namekian had already agreed that the taller, greener one would be front-manning the episode. When the white-haired ninja arrived, the episode began.
"Hello, everyone. I am Piccolo." He motioned to his partner, Kakashi.
"And I am Kakashi Hatake. In today's episode of 'Piccolo and Kakashi on Theories', we will be doing something slightly different," he stated, getting out a notepad from his pocket. He began inspecting it, to make sure it was the correct one. "But first, we'll be answering some questions you viewers have left us."
Kakashi took a second look at the note, then back to the camera. "From...a guest, we have: 'So how can something from the fan verse make it into one of the official verses? You said it was possible.' My answer to this question, guest, is that there are real world Overlords that govern each official verse, similar to the gods found in the DBZ universes. These Overlords are the people that made the series in the real world, like Misashi Kishimoto or Akira Toriyama. If these people see something in a fan work that they like, then they may be inspired to add something similar to that idea in their official verse. As soon as pen is put to paper and that idea is written down into the next chapter of the story, something from a fan verse would have made it to an official verse."
Piccolo was handed the notepad. "Oh...there aren't any more questions. Do remember that you can ask anything you want. Unwarranted hate will not go un-punish - I mean, unwarranted and unjustified hate will be ignored. So, for today's episode, Kakashi and I will be talking about What-Ifs. This ties into our previous episode; Megaverse Theory. Then, we explained that the Multiverse Theory is when a decision is made in one universe, which creates several other parralel universes where the decision may have gone differently. This is exactly what a 'What If' is."
"For our first ever What If, we will be discussing: 'What If - Raditz defeated Goku and Piccolo during his initial invasion of Earth'," Kakashi added. "We will be talking about what would happen in that situation, while you people at home will be getting a visual representation of the events we talk about here."
"Raditz defeating us...that nearly, nearly happened. If it weren't for the fact that Raditz was so moronic that he couldn't figure out how to shake off Goku, we would have lost," Piccolo lamented. Despite never wanting to say it, he had to admit it. "So, here is what would occur if Raditz had really defeated us..."
"Piccolo, hurry up! I'm starting to lose my grip..." Goku cried, his hold on his brother slowly loosening with each passing second.
The green alien, who had a strong hatred for this man, felt nothing but content for the situation as he charged his ever-powerful energy attack which was prepared to end the fight right there and then.
"I'm finally going to be able to get my chance to finish you off once and for all, Goku. I'm going to treasure this moment," mumbled Piccolo. He made sure he was inaudible to anyone else, so his words remained his own. A few more seconds passed, and the green one felt a 'ding' in his energy. "It's ready!" He then pointed his two fingers forward and began to release a spiralling yellow and purple beam of energy. "Special Beam Cannon!"
In shock, Raditz looked on as the attack etched closer and closer to him. Thinking quickly, the Saiyan elbowed his so-called brother in the face, which managed to loosen his grip enough for the evil hearted one to shake his opponent off and dodge Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon technique. Alas, Earth's final hopes for survival diminished. Goku fell to the ground, completely worn out and Piccolo stared on in horror as everything he knew was going to come to an end.
Raditz stepped forward, grinning at the desire to kill. "You pests have given me enough trouble! Die!" He fired a purple energy wave, piercing Piccolo's slimy skin and immediately killing him.
"My revenge will never come..." he spoke, as his life ended.
Piccolo fell to the floor, leaving a pained and strained Goku to watch in horror. Raditz, the brutal Saiyan, turned around and hovered over to the barely alive body of his supposed brother. He looked down on him in utter disgust.
"Kakarot, there is still time for you to remain in the world of the living. Join me brother, and we can terrorise planets all over the galaxy!" Raditz persuaded.
Goku shook his head. "Never!" he sharply replied.
"Wrong answer, fool," the long-haired one spat, ending his brother's life with a ki blast.
So ends the life of Earth's mightiest warriors. Their friends had sensed their energies fade to nothingness, which filled them with fear as their strongest known fighters had been killed by this unknown assailant from another planet. Raditz looked over to the body of Gohan, who appeared to be tired after the sudden onslaught from earlier.
"This kid could be useful. I'll make him into a fine Saiyan warrior one day!" he maniacally chimed, picking up the boy and heading straight to the Saiyan spaceship and instnatly setting course for the Saiyan base of operations. Inside the pod, Raditz looked down on Earth in the same disgust as he gave Goku. "A weak planet...we didn't even need Nappa or Vegeta."
Flying further into the galaxy, Raditz cackled over his victory. He had bested Earth and doomed the planet as another victim of the Planet Trade Organisation run by none other than Frieza, who continued to rule over entire worlds with nothing standing in his way. A tyrant's wish come true.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, while Piccolo was just glad to have gotten that over with. "That is what would most likely happen should Raditz have defeated Goku and I in our first battle. He would leave the planet in the hands of Frieza's organisation and continue to trade planets for money. A grim fate," Piccolo summarised.
"I sure hope a man like that never comes across my village..." Kakashi commented, nearly sweat-dropping from such a horrible story that they had created. "That is the end of our first What-If discussions. Let us know if you have any ideas for future What-Ifs, or any potential theories you would like us to discuss in a future episode! We don't bite! Goodbye, and have a nice day!"
Kakashi waved the camera goodbye, while Piccolo stood there with his arms folded, not saying a word. As the recording ended, the two heroes departed from the warehouse.
