Okay, time to rework the chapters that I had already written for this and- *See's that some chapters are gone for whatever reason*
...Oh fuck me.
Yeah, so I lost a few more chapters apparently, all for the rewrite that would have only needed some minor changes. I honestly don't know what happened to them, I just know that I have to start from scratch with them. Not my luckiest moment. But let's roll onto the questions for now.
Guest: I asked this before but you didn't really answer it was about the Majin Buu saga and about Buu having a dark dragon ball which eventually causes him to evolve to his pure form and also having Dabura receive demon god powers to fight him but gets absorbed and Xeno Majin Buu becomes demon god Buu and also having Xeno Janemba there with his dark dragon ball and fighting the heroes twice before getting absorbed by demon god Buu and then the heroes all fighting him and struggling to do so before he's killed by the super spirit bomb. I don't want to sound pushy but I would like an answer when the next chapter comes up.
Answer: Firstly, I'm sorry that I had missed your question, it was more than likely a problem on my end. Secondly I do have a very specific plan for the Majin Saga, considering that one is going to be an actually challenge with what I have planned
Guest: Will Sealas and Ahms from super dragon ball heroes world mission appear later in the story?
Answer: Yes, they will.
Amanny: So Raditz is alive, will Rikudo end him once and for all. Are you going to bring Broly from Dragon Ball Super or from Dragon Ball Z?
Answer: That is to be answered in this chapter. Also for which Broly, Super Version. I don't hate the Z Version, but there were a lot of major problems with him that were fixed with his Super counterpart. I actually used Old Broly in the Original version of this story, before any hints of the next movie were coming out and I did sympathise for that Broly. But I will be going with the Super version for this story.
Saiyan85: Fantastic Chapter. No offense but I am already liking the direction of this story more than your old one. On another note, is Raditz going to be paired with Launch? Please say yes.
Answer: Thank you and believe me, I know that the old one wasn't as great. As for Raditz and Launch? You'll get your answer after the Chapter.
Speaking of the Next Chapter, let's start!
Chapter Three: Battle Under the Full Moon! The Low-Class Saiyan: Raditz!
(Earth. Wasteland) (...6 Days Later)
6 Days. That's how long Rukido was searching for Piccolo and Gohan. One would think it would be easier with the ability to sense ki, but even that wasn't helping him. Piccolo was more than likely suppressing his ki while Gohan's power was far too low sense as of this moment. Which left Rukido finding them the old fashion way.
With his eyes and a lot of luck.
"Where does a Namekian hide out with a kid?" Rukido asked himself for the hundredth time. He'd been camping out in random places to rest while either fishing or hunting down dinosaurs for food. Other than being unable to find Piccolo and Gohan, it's been normal while on Earth. "Why do I feel like I'm forgetting some-"
Then his Scouter beeped. Turning it on, Chronoa started to talk. "Rukido, what are you doing?"
"Hey, sorry I'm trying to find where Piccolo and Gohan are." The Saiyan explained.
"Why didn't you just ask me? I can see everything from here, remember." Chronoa said, confused. Silence was her answer as she spoke up again? "...Rukido?"
"I'm such an idiot." Rukido said depressingly. The kai couldn't help, but to giggle at this.
"Well at least you admit to it, unlike some people." Chronoa said, thinking back to a certain old man. "Anyway, they should be close to the Central Plains nearby and in a small clearing called Blake Bog."
"Right. Thank you!" Rukido said, while internally crying tears of joy.
"Anytime. Now if you excuse me, I have an old man to beat up!" Chronoa declared before ending the call. Rukido couldn't help, but to shake his head before noticing how late it was getting. "I should be able find them before it gets too late."
He soon took off, unaware that he was currently being followed by the likes of Raditz. He had learned how to sense ki after his defeat and was keeping his power suppressed to avoid being detected. The Exiled Saiyan growled as he ran on foot after the former Time Patroller, a plan already formed in his head.
'Just you wait! Tonight you perish!' Raditz thought angrily as he followed behind slowly.
(Earth, Blake Bog)(Evening)
'This is turning out to be a waste of time.' Piccolo thought, annoyed as he looked at Gohan from afar. The boy was nothing like Goku. He was a winey, spoiled little brat as far as he was concerned. 'Tch, I won't keep dropping him apples if he doesn't show any more of that power. Those two Saiyans are still alive, I need more power if I'm gonna face them.'
His thoughts went back to Raditz and Rukido. While Rukido had helped them, he was both a Saiyan and still a huge threat to his plans for the world. Plus, he had no idea of the full extent to his full power. Raditz was easier to see, but wouldn't be any easier with how easily the Saiyan had beaten the likes of both him and Goku. He could only hope that the likes of him and the brat could take down Raditz before moving on to the other Saiyan.
However his thoughts were soon interrupted once he sensed Rukido approaching him. 'Damn it! I need to get out of here with the brat!'
He turned towards Gohan and was about to fly over to grab him only for Rukido to suddenly dash in front of him. "Don't even think about it."
"Damn it, so much for avoiding you." Piccolo said as he clenched his fist.
"Relax, if I wanted to kill you then I would have done so already." Rukido said with an eye roll. Piccolo however didn't let his guard down, making Rukido sigh. "Look, we need to talk about something. Where's the kid?"
However before Piccolo could speak, a loud roar interrupted them. Snapping their heads, they were greeted with the sight of a rampaging Great Ape! It was Gohan from what they could sense and the boy had lost any semblance of control.
"That's gonna be problematic." Rukido said, not as concerned as Piccolo.
"If he keeps this up, there won't be an Earth left!" Piccolo thought as he felt Gohan's power rise. The kid's anger was definitely key in him becoming stronger. Rukido was about to respond before sending another power from behind, followed up with a roar.
"MOVE!" Rukido yelled as he pushed Piccolo down, avoiding a beam that soar up into the sky. Turning around, they were greeted with the sight of Raditz, now a Great-Ape!
"You should have stayed still! Maybe then your death's would have been quickier!" Raditz roared out. Rukido's eyes then went wide, realizing that he had forgotten all about Raditz! However he soon smirked darkly as he stared at the Exiled Saiyan.
"Leave Raditz to me, see what you can do about Gohan." Rukido said, determined for payback. Piccolo could only agree as he turned to Gohan, thinking of how to defeat the Great-Ape.
Rukido in the meantime, dashed down at Raditz as the Great-Ape swung his massive fist at him. Seeing this, the former Patroller flew around the attack before kicking the Great-Ape in his stomach. Raditz gasped out in pain before he was soon uppercutted by Rukido and was sent a foot back. He wiped the blood spilling from his mouth as he glared up at the smirking Saiyan.
'What's going on? My power as a Great-Ape should easily match him!' Raditz thought as he wondered what was going on. 'Unless...d-don't tell me he was hiding more power somehow!'
"Come on already!" Rukido yelled as he crossed his arms. "You came for me right? So hurry up and attack!"
Meanwhile, Piccolo was having a lot more trouble than he thought. He's used everything in his arsenal, except the Special Beam Cannon. Even then, he doubted that would work against the Hybrid as he is now.
"There's gotta be a weakness!" Piccolo declared as he dashed over Gohan's fist. He then began firing ki-blast down at the Great-Ape, who cried out in rage from the attack. The Namekian then held out both his hands as a yellow and black energy ball appeared. "EVIL EXPLOSION!"
Firing the attack, it flew straight into Gohan's chest and blew up on impact. Piccolo looked down at the smoke cloud created from the blast only to see a bright light from the smoke! Diving down, the Namekian was barely able to avoid the blast as it tore apart an entire forest with ease. Growling, Piccolo glared up at Gohan, who was now punching the ground angirly.
'Where did he get this form from? He was alright these past few nights, then he suddenly turns into this monstrosity.' Piccolo thought, trying to think of the cause. However he soon saw the moonlight over them and glanced up at the moon in shock. 'It's the first full moon in a while, could it really be?'
Meanwhile, Raditz was knocked back once again after another impact on his chest, breaking his armor badly. Clenching his fist, he let out an angry roar before turning his full attention on Rukido. The Former Time Patroller waved, enraging the Exiled Saiyan greater. "THAT'S IT! I'LL KILL YOU! NO MATTER WHAT, YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND!"
Opening his mouth widely, Raditz let out one final roar and fired a large pink beam from his mouth. Rukido however held up his hand and fired a beam from it, pushing through the attack and towards the Great Ape. Instantly, consummed by the attack, Raditz was blasted off his feet and landed on top of a mountain, destroying it in the process. At the same time, Piccolo fired a massive ki-wave up at the moon, blowing it up instantly. The two Great-Apes went stiff before they began to shrink down to normal size with Gohan being unconscious and Raditz currently clenching his fist in anger.
"NO! I WON'T LOSE! NOT LIKE THIS!" Raditz declared as he glared up at Rukido, hatefully. With a roar he charged up at his fellow Saiyan, killer intent filling his eyes.
Closing in, he threw multiple punches at the Saiyan, each one being dodged faster than the last. This had gone on before Rukido slammed his knee into Raditz's stomach, stunning him in place. He was then kicked across and sent flying down to the ground below, creating a crater in the process. Rukido looked down with his arms crossed before seeing a bright red light. Raditz was up, his arms pulled back as he charged up his attack.
"This is it, WEEKEND BREAKER!" Raditz yelled, throwing his arms forward and launching a massive ki-wave up at Rukido. It made contact, blowing up on impact as Raditz lowered his arms weakly. "Did...did I-"
The Exiled Saiyan gasped out in pain as an elbow made contact with his stomach and sent him flying on his back. Far too weak from his previous attack, Raditz could only look up weakly as Rukido walked towards him. Gathering what little energy he had left, he lifted his hand to attack only to be kicked in face, effectively knocking him out.
Raising his hand, Rukido formed a ki-blast and aimed it at Raditz's head. A few seconds went by before Rukido sighed and lowered his hand. "I better not regret this."
(Age 737) (Planet Vegeta, Residential Area) (2 Months before Planet Vegeta's Destruction)
Raditz growled to himself as he walked back home, covered in bruises. He had gotten into another fight with a few kids his age and he was beaten badly, but only because they attacked at the time. That being said, he had gotten his own hits in before going down. Now he was on his way back home in hope for some rest.
Entering his family's hut, he was immediately greeted with the face of his worried mother, Gine. Unlike other Saiyans, who only breed to increase their numbers, his parents were together. His mother was also an odiety among the Saiyans, being a nice, caring woman with a gentle heart.
"Raditz?! What happened?" Gine asked worried as she already began wiping his face of the dirt on it.
"I just got into a fight with the other kids, that's all." Raditz mumbled, saddened by his loss. He felt like such a disappointment.
"Oh, Raditz don't you worry. You're still my little fighter." Gine said as she gave Raditz a hug. He blushed in pure embarrassment, but didn't push away. It felt too nice. "Besides, your father should be arriving soon enough."
"Really?!" Raditz exclaimed, excitement clear in his eyes. His Father, despite his status as a Low-Class Warrior, was considered one of the stronger Saiyans on Vegeta. He believed that he could easily become King if he wanted to!
"Yup! Less than an hour actually." Gine said as Raditz grinned widely. "Now get cleaned up before he gets here."
"Yes ma'am!" Raditz said before pushing further into the hut. He was about to enter the bathing room before stopping to see his brother in the incubator pod. "Kakarot."
He didn't know how to feel about his brother. He wasn't expecting to have one in his life and for him to look so similar to his father was a bit insane in his eyes. Still, now that he thought about it, it was kinda cool. Maybe he could show his brother his cool moves! Or maybe teach him how to get stronger or-
Fantasy later, bath now!
He took a quick bath, washing the dirt and grime off him before heading out with a clean battle suit. Upon walking out, he instantly saw his father getting hugged by his mother.
"Bardock! It's been too long!" Gine exclaimed.
"I was only gone for a few weeks, nothing serious." Bardock humbled, but held a small smile on his face. "However, I can't stay long. Me and Leek have to leave first thing tomorrow."
"What?! But you just got back!" Gine exclaimed, clearly not too happy.
"Blame Frieza, he's having all of us work overtime. Honestly I don't see why, the Universe ain't going anywhere." Bardock said, clearly annoyed with the whole thing. "Enough about it, how are Raditz and Kakarot."
"Raditz is doing fine, he should be finished with his shower by now. Kakarot's also healthy, thankfully." Gine said brightly. It was at this moment, where Raditz decided to come in.
"H-hello Father." Raditz said nervously.
"Raditz..." Bardock said, giving his son a critical stare. Raditz gulped under the tension, not used to it all that well. However he eased up once his father gained a smirk on his face. "You've gotten pretty strong kid."
"I-I have?" Raditz asked confused.
"Well, maybe not as much as me when I was at your age, but I can definitely see some improvement." Bardock said, not making his son feel like less in the slightest. "However, don't ever be satisfied with your current power. We Saiyans have limitless potential to be the strongest in the Universe. So long as you remember that, you'll be just fine."
Raditz could only be gleeful inside as he heard his father's words. Just then, Gine came into the room with several plates of freshly cooked meat. "Come on now! Dinner time!"
His night just got better.
(Frieza Planet 712)(One Month Later)
Raditz had gotten lucky. Really lucky. He was assigned on the same team as Prince Vegeta of all people! His father wasn't around to hear the news, but his mother was ecstatic! Still, he had to admit the Prince was a huge asshole. Berating him for his weakness and being the son of a low-class Saiyan. But he never let Vegeta get to him. He'd be stronger one day...so long as he didn't say it out loud.
Still he was curious about Frieza's message.
"Hey, shouldn't we head back to Vegeta? Frieza called us all there, didn't he?" Raditz asked his Prince.
"Tch. Don't even worry about it. I bet it's just another annoying speech or something stupid." Vegeta said while munching on a fruit.
"Y-yeah, you probably right." Raditz said, nervous that he had upset his prince. His thoughts wandered back to his parents and brother before shaking them off. 'No, I shouldn't need to worry about them. They're fine. They're fine."
(Frieza Planet 87)(One Month Later)
They weren't fine. Not at all.
"P-prince Vegeta! Planet Vegeta and everyone on it was wiped out by an asteroid!" Nappa exclaimed in shock. Vegeta only grumbled while Raditz went stiff.
His Planet was gone.
His Parents were gone.
Even Kakarot was-
"Hey, didn't you have a brother Raditz?" A Random Saiyan asked.
"Yeah...I did." Raditz said solemnly. He then shook his head and straightened up, placing his hands behind his head and with a weak smirk.. "Not like it matters. He was a little too weak anyway."
"Anyone related to you would be weak." Vegeta said with a grumble. "Damn it, now I'll never become King of the Saiyans. Stupid astroid."
Raditz didn't respond as he walked away from the group. He sat behind a rock and looked up at the stars, shaking to himself as small tears went down his face. As quickly as they came, he forcefully wiped them away, glaring harshly at the ground.
Being weak wasn't an option. Not when a part of the Prince's group. His Father would have stayed strong, so he would too.
Even if he had no one left to care for.
(Earth, Blake Bog)(Past Midnight)
Raditz groaned as he opened his eyes, grabbing his head in pain as he sat up. "Gah. What the hell hit me?"
"That would be me."
Freezing, Raditz turned his head to see Rukido and Piccolo staring at him. They were currently on top of a pillar, just above where a knocked Gohan was, now wearing his father's gi. The Exiled Saiyan tried to stand up only to fail, nearly falling off the pillar doing so.
"I-if you're going to kill me then get it over with! What? Did you expect me to beg for my life?" Raditz asked mockingly. Unlike his brother, these two wouldn't be fooled. Not like he could do anything in his state anyway.
"Believe me, I would've, but lucky for you he wants some answers." Piccolo said with a scoff. He tried running away with Gohan, only to fail miserably.
"I'm mostly curious why you decided to attack me." Rukido said, crouching down to Raditz's level. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't tempted to kill the Saiyan before him, but he seriously doubted that he even knew what he had destroyed. "So...what's your answer and I advise you to answer honestly. It may as well save your life."
"Tch. I thought I could wipe you out in my Great Ape form, but it seems like I was mistaken with your Power Level." Raditz growled out, not happy at being interrogated. "I planned on showing Vegeta and Nappa who was stronger once they got here. As you see, that didn't go too well."
"Vegeta? Nappa? Who the hell are they?" Piccolo asked, confused.
"Two other Saiyans that make me look like a child's play." Raditz uncaringly. Piccolo looked stunned by that while Rukido remained impassive. "Nappa alone is enough to wipe out several of me and Vegeta? Try a Planet's worth with just his hand."
"T-two more Saiyans. Damn it, the Earth really is doomed at this rate." Piccolo muttered.
"...Alright then." Rukido said, standing up. He aimed his hand at Raditz as the Saiyan clenched his eyes to await his fate. However, he soon felt his energy being somewhat restored and opened his eyes to see Rukido lowering his hand. "There, I gave you some energy. You'll have to find a way to heal on your own."
"W-what the hell are you doing?!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"Why would you help your enemy." Raditz asked, confused by the sudden kindness.
"If we're gonna deal with Vegeta and Nappa, then we'll need all the help we can get." Rukido explained. Turthly, he could take on both with little difficulty even with their Great Ape forms, but who knows what other changes could have happened. 'Besides, I need to try to keep the timeline as original as possible...Chronoa is gonna kill me.'
"WHAT?!" Both Saiyan and Namekian exclaimed.
"Why the hell would I go against them?! I was trying to earn my place back among them, not try to defeat them!" Raditz yelled, far from pleased with the idea. "Nappa has a power of 8,000, so you can take him, but Vegeta? His is 18,000 last I checked! He's the Prince of the Saiyans for a damn good reason."
"18,000? Ha. That's a bit low compared to me." Rukido declared, releasing his power just a bit more. Piccolo was stunned by the power coming off while Raditz, still getting used to the power, wasn't too sure what to make of it. "This is what happens when you combine Saiyan Power with pure hard training."
"Incredible...makes me wonder what the kid will be like in the future." Piccolo said, looking down at Gohan. He was still knocked out somehow.
"We also have to talk about him." Rukido said with a sweatdrop. Turning towards Raditz, he spoke up again. "So are you in?
To fight against the likes of Vegeta and Nappa sounded like suicide. They had risen greatly in strength while he remained in the lowest levels of powers. However, he didn't have much to lose. He was considered an Exiled Saiyan, he doubted he could get off this planet to avoid their wrath and he sure as hell doubted Frieza would give a damn about him. Besides, if there was a chance to beat down the two people that mocked him for constant years, then he'll take it.
Then his father's words hit him again.
"However, don't ever be satisfied with your current power. We Saiyans have limitless potential to be the strongest in the Universe. So long as you remember that, you'll be just fine."
"...Tch. Fine." Raditz huffed out as he stood up. "However, don't expect me to stick around when this is over."
"Sure, just don't try to betray us along the way." Rukido said with a smirk before turning to Piccolo. "Now about Gohan."
(The Next Day)
Gohan woke up with a small yawn as he tried to understand his bearings. He rubbed his eyes before blinking in realization of who was in front of him. Piccolo, the man who had tried to kill his father, Raditz, his Uncle who also tried to kill his father and some random stranger.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Yeah, he screamed.
"Hey, hey easy there buddy." Rukido said, trying to ease the young boy. It seemed to work, but he still looked terrified. "My name is Rukido, I'll be helping you with your training along with Piccolo and Raditz here."
Gohan blinked once. Then twice. Then three times before he fell back unconscious.
"...He took that better than I thought he would." Rukido said while Piccolo and Raditz sweatdropped.
This was going to take some work.
(Chapter End)
Next Time on A Change in Time!
Hey, it's me Goku! I finally arrived at King Kai's Planet and began my training! I heard a lot of strange things have been happening on Earth ever since I died and-Huh? What do mean there's some bad guys coming out of portals? Around the Galaxy too?! I better keep training then! Don't you miss it!
Next Time: Battle's Across the Galaxy? Another Saiyan?!
A/N: Another one done...yeah, I may have lost some of the chapters before the Saiyan Saga and I think two for during the Saiyan Saga. So I have to write all of that over again.
Anyway, if it seemed like I was forcing Rukido to accept Raditz and not kill him, well you'd be right. He has a very good reason to just kill Raditz, but it's not like Raditz actually would know what he did. Plus, I wouldn't have spared him from dying instantly if I wasn't going to use him again.
I also gave some background to Raditz, well my own background anyway. He's a Weak Warrior in the group of the Prince of all the Saiyans, so naturally he's gonna act all tough and uncaring when around him. Bardock is meant to be a mixture of his Minus and Z self. The badassness of the Low-Class Saiyan yet not a jackass to everyone...at least to those who don't deserve it. And yes, I did go with the Minus Origin story for being better than the original. Finally as to how Raditz knew about Goku being alive, that will be explained in the next chapter, I promise.
Also to Saiyan85...yeah, Raditz and Launch together. Mostly because I will be yelled at otherwise and due to the fact that I have watched most of What if Raditz turned good and have loved it thus far.
Changes so far. Piccolo is now aware of the other Saiyans, Raditz has joined the group and Gohan will be getting a new training regime.
Now that being said, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and feel free to review. Until we meet again.
