Power Woman Wife of Goku – Episode Two The Saiyan Saga Prologue Enter Raditz

Earth Dragon Ball Universe, morning
It was a beautiful peaceful day at the foothills of the mountains. A lone farmer tended his crops and livestock in quiet seclusion. Out of the heavens streaked a large round projectile that smashed into a hillside next far away. The farmer jumped in his orange pickup truck and raced off to see what it was. Perhaps a plane of some sort had crashed or a meteorite.
When the farmer arrived at the impact zone he grabbed his trusty shotgun from the back of the cab and stalked outside. He soon beheld a large muscular figure with long spiky black hair emerges from the smoking crater. The beast of a man was clad in black & brown body armor trimmed in white. Behind him wagged a brown furry tail of all thing!
"Holy moly its Shadow the Hedgehog! No, wait it's just some big guy playin' at cosplay." The Farmer exclaimed. "What are ya doin' on my property son?" He asked brandishing his shotgun.
Attached to the large man's head was a band-shaped device silver colored with a transparent green eyepiece that covered his left eye. The large man pressed a button adjacent to the eyepiece. "A power level of five." The large man laughed. "You are hardly worth my time, but oh well."
The frightened Farmer accidentally fired his gun at the large man who stopped the bullet with his hand. The large man threw the bullet at high speed back at the farmer. The bullet embedded itself in the farmer's skull killing him instantly.
Some Distance Away
Piccolo stood alone on a windswept cliff lamenting the loss of Garlic Jr's Castle three months before. It would have been a perfect place for him to call home. If only that piece of trashed had not destroyed it by opening the Dead Zone.
"I hate that little creep," Piccolo grumbled to himself.
"Who are you?" The large man asked landing not far from Piccolo. A quick scan of his head-mounted device later he observed. "A somewhat impressive power level, how interesting. I had feared this world was populated only by pitiful weaklings. I'm glad to see I was wrong."
"Who I am is none of your business," Piccolo said his body tensing.
"No matter," The large man said. "Do you know where Kakarot is?"
"What?" Piccolo said thoroughly confused.
"Kakarot, you green fool." The large man said growing irritated.
"Is that name suppose to mean something to me big ugly?" Piccolo asked.
"I've had enough of your insolence Namekian!" The large man growled. He held up his right hand as yellow-white energy slowly gathered there. "I see a lesson in respect is called for."
"Namekian, I'm a Demon you jack a,-" Piccolo began.
"Two higher power levels one of them much higher not far away." The large man said as the device on his head beeped. "I'll deal with you later Namekian." He said before flying away.
"Oh no, you don't," Piccolo said a moment later. He did not have anything else on tap for today he might as well cash down this oversized prick. Piccolo flew away after the large man a moment later.
Kame House, a short time later
Bulma landed her one person flying device on the tiny island. She stepped outside and breathed in the warm tropical air. The island had not changed much since she was last there as a teenager. She knocked on the door of Kame House a minute passed before Krillin greeted her Master Roshi by his side.
"Hi Bulma," The ex-monk said.
"How's it going?" Bulma inquired of her old friends.
"Living the good life." Master Roshi said kicking back a large mug full of what smelled like an alcoholic beverage in one pull, "and you?"
"I can't complain, well other than maybe about Yamcha," Bulma said.
"What's up with Yamcha?" Krillin said then wished he hadn't.
"We've drifted apart and I think the bastard is cheating on me," Bulma said her face contorted in anger. "We barely make love anymore. I've even tried kinky stuff but he's not interested. I dressed up as a giant cat for Pete's Shake! I've suggested Viagra, you know just in case, but he insists he's fine down there. Maybe you can talk to him Krillin? See what is bothering him. He trusts your opinion."
"Ah, good luck with all that Bulma," Krillin said who was saved from any further uncomfortable moments with Bulma by the arrival of Goku and Carri who held their son Gohan in her arms.
"Hey guys," Goku said cheerily.
"Thank goodness you're here," Krillin exclaimed earning himself a glare from Bulma.
"So this is the Gohan I've heard so much about," Bulma said approaching Carri and Goku. Carri put Gohan down on the ground.
"I'm your auntie Bulma," Bulma said.
"Hi, Auntie Bulma." the five-year-old said smiling. He offered his tiny hand to Bulma who gently shook it.
"He's so precious," Bulma said smiling back.
"I'm surprised you and Yamcha haven't had one of your own yet or gotten married for that matter. Where is Yamcha anyway?" Carri said looking around.
"Don't get me started," Bulma said her expression quickly souring while Krillin waved his arms for Carri to stop inadvertently egging Bulma on.
"Ya please don't." Master Roshi said.
Before Bulma could get into a verbal altercation with Roshi, Krillin changed the subject. "I see Gohan no longer wears a Dragon Ball on top of his hat, good call," Krillin said.
"Yeah, I haven't been able to find it again," Goku said.
"Goku, wouldn't putting the Dragon Ball back on his hat just make Gohan a target again for villains who want a wish?" Bulma correctly observed.
"Which is what I keep telling him," Carri said.
"But it completes the look." Goku protested rather childishly. "Besides between me and Carri there ain't nobody who dare mess with Gohan."
"Garlic Jr. did." Krillin pointed out.
"Good point," Goku conceded. He then looked up in the air a concerned expression on his face. "Do you sense it?"
"A power level almost as strong as yours," Carri said while also staring up at the sky.
Without preamble, the large man landed noisily near the group. He took one look at Goku and said. "It would appear I have finally found you Kakarot."
"Mommy," Gohan cried out in alarm.
"Get inside baby. Mommy and Daddy will deal with this nice man," Carri ordered her son. The large man glanced at Gohan taking note of his tail. So Kakarot had been busy it would seem.
"Are you talking to me?" Goku asked the stranger.
"Yes, I am Kakarot." The large man said.
"Why do you keep calling me Kakarot? My name is Goku." Goku said. "Are you here for the Dragon Balls?" Goku said. "They won't be able to grant another wish for a year."
"I have no idea what these Dragon Balls you speak of are. I'm here for you. Kakarot is the name you were given before we sent you to this miserable insignificant waste of a planet." The large man said pointing at Goku.
"You must have me mixed up with someone else, whoever you are," Goku said not believing what he was being told by the large man.
"No, I don't." The large man said wagging his own tail then indicating Goku's to prove his point. "You are Kakarot there is no doubt. You were sent here while still a child to conquer this world. Which you obviously failed to do. We are members of an all but extinct race of intergalactic super warriors called Saiyans. And I am your brother, Raditz."
"So you're his brother, huh?" Krillin said strolling up to Raditz.
"Krillin maybe you shouldn't," Carri advised.
"Don't worry, you're cool right big guy?" Krillin said. With his tail, Raditz savagely batted Krillin away. "Aaaahhhhhhhhhh," Krillin screamed hitting the side of Kame House where he did some damage before he struggled to his feet a moment later.
"Stop hitting Krillin, he's my friend," Goku said.
"Why should I?" Raditz asked.
"Because if you attack us or our friends again we'll be forced to destroy you," Carri warned. She and Goku each assumed a battle stance.
Raditz smirked at the audacity of this woman and his confused brother. How dare she challenge him. Out of curiosity more than anything else he scanned Goku and then her with his scouter. He was shocked by what he found. Goku was a bit more powerful than him while Carri was even stronger than Vegeta. Furthermore, the power analysis indication Carri was at least part Kryptonian! The findings seemed impossible as Lord Frieza's father King Cold had wiped out that troublesome race more than a century ago according to reports. Could some Kryptonians have survived? Raditz knew there was no way he could defeat both his brother and this Kryptonian woman working in tandem. He would be lucky to escape with his life should he challenge them. If only he had brought along some Kryptonite. In that crucial moment, Raditz made a snap decision. He reached up with his hand and crumpled his scouter ending the live feed the device was sending back to Frieza's HQ. He did not want his soon to be former employer to witness his actions.
Here goes nothing Raditz thought. "Kakarot listen carefully. Your adopted world is in grave danger."
"Sorry to break up whatever this is, but big ugly and I have unfinished business," Piccolo said landing between Raditz and the group.
"Not now Namekian. Can't you see I'm busy." Raditz said.
"Let him speak Piccolo," Carri said. "After he's said his piece, you two can have your fun."
"Fine," Piccolo huffed crossing his arms over his chest. He stared hard at Raditz. "But once this conflab is finished we dance."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Raditz said annoyed at the nerve of this Namekian. How dare he intrude on this private moment between brothers when so much was a stake. Raditz released a frustrated breath then again spoke. "I guess I should begin with the Cold Empire."
To Be Continued
Next up Saiyan Saga Interlude – Tree of Might. We say hello to Turles and his nefarious crew.
Author's Note One -
Goku is already slightly more powerful than Raditz because unlike in canon he has trained a lot harder with Carri as his partner.
Author's Note Two -
Carri is currently quite a bit stronger than Goku in his base state. Keep in mind Goku has not unlocked any of his transformations yet.
