AU story which was inspired by a Dragon Ball SD special chapter where Vegeta and Raditz go to Earth for training.

Set a year before the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament and continues until...

Apologies in advance for any kind of grammatical and spelling errors.

Until next time!

On a faraway planet, a young teen marched through the brightly illuminated hallway. Just like the people around him, he wore a battle armor above the blue suit that barely reached his knees. On his face was attached a strange device with a small green screen, covering his left eye. He didn't pay any attention to the others, just minded his own business as he walked forward. A cocky smirk on his face all the time.

He turned to the left and stopped in front of metal doors. Once the door opened, he walked inside, causing his long but spiky black hair to sway. Inside the room, he was able to see a soldier with a helmet sitting right in front of a large control panel and a screen. The soldier's mouth and eyes were wide open, but he simply chuckled at that. His black eyes moved towards a huge, muscular man who was leaning against the wall.

As he approached the older man, he opened his mouth. "How long have you been here?" His left hand rested on the hip as he stood near the bald warrior who for a short moment looked at him.

"Three hours."

The younger one acknowledged that and turned his head towards the screen. "Let me guess, Vegeta already kicked your ass and continued his training?" His dark orbs shifted left and right as he watched the short, flame-haired boy punch and kick an invisible enemy. "You know, he really should learn how to relax." Sure, he loved to train and fight as well, but also to kick back and rest.

His words only made the other male to scoff. "Right, just like you. No wonder you're so far behind us, Raditz." The bald soldier closed his eyes and bounced off the cold wall. "Unlike you, he's on a mission to become the strongest in the universe and one day, rule over it!" There was a glimmer in his eyes as he stared at the young boy on the screen.

The young boy's tail shifted around his waist as he looked away, annoyed. "Whatever..." He didn't like the sound or words that came from the older man. "So, when's our next mission scheduled?" Trying to change the subject and just forget what was said, Raditz wanted to know when they were going to leave this place.

He shrugged his shoulders and continued to watch. "Don't know, never received a report from Zarbon or Dodoria." His gaze moved towards the soldier on duty and barked at the man. "Hey, you! Let the Saibamen out, he's bored out there." He pointed at the short warrior inside the training room as he said that.

The loud voice scared the soldier. "Huh!?" He was so mesmerized by the kid's speed that he completely forgot about the large Saiyan. "Y-Yes, sir! Um, how many Saibamen should I release?" The guy typed something on the panel while he waited for the response.

"All of them."

His helmet almost fell off when he heard the reply. "S-Sorry, what?" His stammering voice only made Raditz laugh while the older Saiyan yelled at him. "You deaf or something!? I told you to release all of them!" All the hair on his body stood up out of fear. Before he was sent away from this world, he did what was ordered.

Just as the small gates in the training room began to open, a faint noise came out of his device. "What now!?" The bald Saiyan lifted his muscular arm and pressed a button. He turned around and walked away, unable to see Saibamens quick and painful demise.

While his taller partner was having a conversation, Raditz just stared at the screen. The young boy's performance was brilliant. There were no openings and he dealt with each attack like it was nothing. Not to mention, the boy's power was growing at an incredible rate, unlike his. That of course, brought out a scowl on his face. Sure, the kid was of royal blood and a prodigy, but so was he... to some degree. Amongst the low-class Saiyans, he was born with the highest potential and even chosen to be the prince's companion. So, what was holding him back from reaching similar heights of power?

Raditz was cut off his thoughts when the other Saiyan walked back. "Screw that narcissistic bastard!" He didn't even need to ask who delivered the message.

The Saiyan pushed the chair and the soldier on it away so he could speak with the flame-haired boy. "Vegeta, we received new orders from Zarbon! The bastard's expecting us to meet right away!" He released the speaker and moved away from the control panel.

Raditz just did the same and pushed himself off the wall. He walked near the other doors and greeted the younger boy. "Here's your uniform and armor, Vegeta." The voice of the older Saiyan was closer as the man kneeled and handed over the garments.

A grunt was all that came out of the short boy who took his stuff and walked away. "Nappa, did Zarbon say anything specific about our task?" The flame-haired boy took off his dirty and sweat-drenched clothes and walked into the shower.

"Not at all. Only to meet with him in ten minutes."

The short boy didn't respond at all. He continued to shower for a few more minutes while his followers waited outside.

.

They walked through the corridor and completely ignored the stares from other soldiers. While the flame-haired prince was in the middle, with a stern look on his face, his two companions were slightly behind. Both warriors wearing cocky smirks as they moved forward until they reached the room. As the metal doors slid open, they were able to see a man in the middle talking to someone.

The man's long, green hair was tied and hung over the shoulder pad. His white cape swayed with even the slightest of movements. Shortly after the door opened, he handed some papers to a reptilian creature and shifted his golden eyes to his new guests.

A grin appeared on the man's light-blue face as he greeted the Saiyans. "Little Vegeta, it's always a pleasure to see you and your men." He lifted a hand to cover his mouth.

The young boy just ignored that and crossed his arms. "Hmph, skip the pleasantries Zarbon." His sharp gaze only amused the green-haired warrior even further. "Tell us about our next mission so we can leave this place already." Nappa and Raditz couldn't agree more with their prince.

"Oh, it seems to me you can't wait to leave the station. Is there something not to your liking?" Zarbon approached the group, rather the young prince. The man lowered his head, causing the earrings to dandle. His golden eyes staring into the prince's black ones, trying to submit the young Saiyan.

He wanted nothing more than to kill the man in front of his eyes, but for that, he needed to wait. "No, of course not. We just want to go out there and conquer new planets." Replied the calm Vegeta as he closed his eyes. "Our warrior blood is thriving for new challenges and sometimes it's tough to just sit and wait." He reopened his eyes and glared at the taller man.

Zarbon raised an eyebrow as he observed the boy. After a few seconds, he pulled himself back and chuckled. "Of course." Was all he said on that matter as he turned around. "Regarding your new assignment..." Zarbon reached his desk and lifted a tablet from it.

"There's a slight change. Our forces meet some difficulties on planet Litt, however..." He raised his head away from the pad and looked at the Saiyans. "Lord Freeza doesn't want this little "hiccup" to halt the spread of his empire!" Zarbon gently moved away the hair from his face as he continued talking.

"On Lord Freeza's orders, prince Vegeta and Nappa are to join in battle on planet Litt immediately." His eyes shifted from the short prince and his huge guard on to the third Saiyan.

"As for Raditz, he is requested to eradicate the people of planet Kabocha and prepare it for sale."

As the drop of sweat rolled over his right cheek, Raditz closed his hand into a tight fist. A long-time passed since he was sent alone on a mission, but perhaps this was just what he needed. He would conquer a planet without Nappa to mock his strength or his way of fighting and Vegeta to bark orders around. Great, this was just what he needed to vent out a little bit. Surely, there was nothing to worry about. They wouldn't send just him if the people there had big power levels.

There was no protest from Vegeta which he was glad for. Since there was nothing more to discuss, they left Zarbon's quarters and headed to eat something before leaving.

A pile of empty plates was on their table as they ate tons of food. It was necessary though. They were warriors, they needed as much nourishment and proteins as possible. Also, who knows what might happen on the battlefield and for how long they would need to survive without a proper meal. It wouldn't be the first time, for all three of them.

While he was on his last plate, the older Saiyan suddenly began a conversation. "Hn, I think we shouldn't let this furball to go on his own Vegeta." That surprised the long-haired warrior who instantly stopped eating. "Something stinks and I'm talking about those orders." He shot a glare in Nappa's direction, just what the hell was the bald idiot doing!?

"Tch, who asked you anything!?" The annoyance in Raditz's voice was pretty clear. "I can very well conquer a planet on my own!" He slammed the fork against the table while his eyebrow twitched.

He didn't need anyone looking after him, especially not Nappa. Anger was rising quickly. He wasn't some soft kid who couldn't do anything on his own. No, he was a Saiyan warrior. The last thing he wanted was to be looked down upon. Of course, he was the weakest of the three, but that didn't mean he was without pride. Just like them, he searched for new challenges and to increase his strength. Sure, his power was developing slower compared to Nappa's or especially Vegeta's but it was growing nonetheless.

Raditz's behavior and tone made the bald Saiyan to clench his teeth. "Don't you dare talk in that manner with me, you low-class brat!" A throbbing vein popped on Nappa's head as he glared at the younger warrior.

Their growls and hisses quickly started to annoy the prince. He put the plate on the table and cleaned his mouth before talking. "Nappa, enough!" His voice instantly stopped the argument between the two who looked in his way.

"You heard the orders, there's nothing you can do about them, no matter what you think." His eyes were glued on the older warrior who moved his head away. "As for you, you better back up all those words you're spewing out of that low-class mouth of yours!" Even though he was the youngest, his eyes and voice kept the other Saiyans in check.

Vegeta rose from the chair and turned around. "If you fail this mission, the consequences will be dire. Don't forget about that, Raditz." He shot one last gaze at his fellow Saiyan who just gave him a nod. "Good. Nappa, let's go." The prince was already near the exit by the time Nappa stood up from the chair.

Nappa and Raditz didn't say a word. They simply glared at each other and that was enough. Once his companions were gone, Raditz released a hefty sigh. He was finally alone, after such a long time. While he hated to be mocked and constantly criticized by them, they were still his fellow Saiyans. They were the last in the universe and despite everything, he needed them. However, that didn't mean he wouldn't enjoy some time alone. Just what could go wrong?

.

Voices were heard all over the place. There was a large group of people shouting and searching for something or rather somebody. Under the strong sunlight, a fast-moving figure moved through the thick forest. His battle armor was torn to shreds. Every exposed part of his body was covered in bruises. Blood leaked out of a deep cut above his left eye which was a nuisance.

He couldn't believe what was going on. When he first landed, there was no higher power level than his. He double-checked, but the damn thing was busted. After all, it was an older model. His mission started well. He attacked from the sky, setting the villages and later the cities on fire. Those who tried to fight him were easily disposed, but the next day...

A branch smacked his face and sent him on the ground. "Damnit all!" He stood up quickly and resumed his run.

The following day was the same as the previous one. He continued his mission and everything was going as it should until the moment they showed up. Royal Guard or whoever they were. A group of men and women wearing ridiculous-looking clothes and armors attacked him. He only managed to defeat one of them and he knew that was the weakest one. Since then, he was on the run, what a disgrace!

He hated this because it proved Nappa was right. But there was also fear, fear of what would happen if he left this place without accomplishing his mission. Not only would he suffer Vegeta's wrath but Freeza's as well. Perhaps dying here wasn't such a bad choice... However, he didn't want to die, not just yet. He still had a trump card, but to use it he needed to wait the night.

His body was slowly shutting down, he was well aware of it. He needed to find a place to hide right away. The warrior pushed his body to the limit as he ran until he reached the edge. His breathing was out of control as he stood there, on the edge of a cliff. There was a large and deep ravine, impossible to see the bottom. He stared at it for a minute, thinking what was even down there, but there wasn't any other choice. Before the elite soldiers of this world caught up with him, he jumped down and glided on the wind.

Several minutes later, after the warrior vanished into the dark pit, a group of warriors emerged from the forest. Each of them looked around for the long-haired invader, except one. His short and spiky teal hair waved on the wind as he stared down. He had an idea where the invader went which brought a smirk out of hiding.

"Everyone, we're suspending the hunt!"

His order surprised the others, but he quickly explained. "Considering where we are, there's no point in following the invader. Once he realizes what's down there, he'll climb back up and that's when we'll strike him!" As he turned around, his golden necklace bumped against his royal armor.

.

Darkness, that's all there was. The blasted sun couldn't even reach this far. While he was blind down here, at least nobody was going after him. It was a wise choice to jump here after all. However, he wondered why those bastards didn't come after him. Were they afraid of this place or did he just lose them? Whatever the case, he needed to find a place to rest until midnight.

Summoning what little energy he had left, he ignited his palm with ki. The light was strong enough to illuminate a five-meter radius. Finally, he was able to see what tickled his legs so much. He moved through the tall grass and mud as he looked for a cave where he could sleep. As he walked around, he was on guard for any potential threat.

"Those filthy bastards ridiculed me for the last time! I'll show them the true might and terror of a Saiyan warrior!" He swore to himself to rip them apart once midnight came. "All their loved ones will suffer the same fate, nobody gets away from Raditz!" The moment he said that his legs gave up.

The young warrior fell with his face against the ground and cursed loudly. "Fuck!" His voice echoed over the place as he tried to get up.

His legs were shaking together with his arms with which he tried to push himself up. After two minutes, Raditz was back on his feet. Calling out his energy once again, the Saiyan was sure he heard something. He glanced around, but nothing. All he could see was black, so he illuminated the place with his ki. Once he did that and turned forward, his eyes were wide open.

Right in front of him was a giant snake-looking creature. The creature hissed at the tiny prey as it moved its head closer. Raditz's light seemed to annoy the snake which swung its two tails in anger. The long-haired warrior swallowed hard as he tried to think about what to do. He was in no shape to fight this thing, but he didn't know if he could outrun it as well.

The Saiyan bit his lower lip and pointed his illuminated palm at the snake. "Saturday Crush!" The white glow quickly changed to pink as it was fired at the snake.

Since the snake was so close to Raditz, he pointed the ki blast right at the creature's eye. His attack hit the snake which howled in pain only making the Saiyan laugh. However, the snake's thrashing around proved to be troublesome. Without any control, the creature swung around with its two tails and struck Raditz. The young warrior slammed against the wall and because of the strong force behind the attack, he was stuck.

While the blood-covered half of his face, Raditz released a moan as he tried to lift his head. "T-Tch, this day couldn't get any worse..." His silent mumble reached no one.

With barely any strength left and one eye open, Raditz first pulled his arms out. He pushed himself out of the wall and levitated in the air. The warrior summoned his aura so he could light the place, but once he did that he was forced to fly away. Just barely, he managed to avoid another attack. As he flew around, he could hear and see that the giant snake was going after him.

Getting frustrated by all that happened, Raditz suddenly soared higher. He swirled in the air and propelled himself towards the snake. "Just leave me alone and die already!" Pink orbs appeared on each palm as he headed straight for the creature. The pink light illuminated the whole place as he closed the distance.

Once he appeared right above the snake's head, he released a loud shout. "Double Sunday!" His ki blasts were strong enough to knock the creature on its back, however, it wasn't dead yet.

Knowing he could do nothing about it, Raditz decided to take his chance and escape. His aura died the moment the snake wasn't looking. Without wasting any precious time, Raditz dropped on the muddy ground and ran without making any big noises.

"It's here somewhere, I'm sure I saw an entrance when I flew by only a second ago!"

And truly there was a small hole in the wall. Without thinking about what could be inside, Raditz dropped on the ground and slid inside. His whole body was covered in mud as he continued to slid down. He tried to stop himself, but his hands couldn't find anything to curl its fingers around. Before he could use his energy to support himself, the young warrior slammed his head against something hard, losing consciousness.

.

Several hours later, and the young Saiyan finally woke up. It took some time before he remembered what happened to him. Without even knowing where he was, he released a long sigh. At least he was safe, for now. Somehow he managed to hide from that giant creature. He leaned his head gently against the wall and wondered how many hours passed. From where he was at the moment, he couldn't tell if it was day or night. He was all alone, submerged in darkness. It was cold, probably because he was sitting in the mud and covered in it.

He raised his left hand and tried to turn on the device, but nothing. "Great, just great..." The man harshly took off the device and threw it away. "Guess I should take a look outside." Carefully of course. He didn't want to fight that giant snake again.

Using a small amount of energy, Raditz slowly began to levitate. As he slowly moved up, he put his hands on the ground to feel if there was anything dangerous ahead. He didn't want to light up the place and have another battle. Part of his power was restored, but not enough to waste it around.

After almost half an hour, the Saiyan emerged from the hole. He moved his hands across the ground, trying to orientate himself. Once he figured out where to go, the young long-haired warrior started to climb.

An additional hour passed before he was able to see it. A big grin appeared on his bruised face once he saw the bright stars and the moon in the sky. "Yes, there it is! Those idiots are done for!" The thirst for revenge and blood got the best of him.

Raditz climbed faster, he just couldn't wait anymore. He only saw a part of the moon, but the shape was that of a full one. It would only take a moment, a few seconds before he started to change. His speed increased and before long, the Saiyan jumped, only to land safely under the night's sky.

He spread his arms as he stared at the bright, full moon. "That's it, once I transform into Oozaru, they're all dead!" Raditz released a loud laughter that echoed across the rocky wasteland. However, something terrible happened.

For an unknown reason, the full moon disappeared without a trace. "What's going on!? How could a moon vanish like that!?" His voice carried a panic tone as he frantically swung his hands around.

"Hah, poor fool. Did you think it would be that easy?"

Upon hearing a familiar voice, Raditz instantly turned around. "It was a simple projection!" The Saiyan's eyes were wide open which caused the leader to chuckle. "We heard tales of your people's incredible ability." Raditz's face was consumed by sweat which fused with the mud and dripped from his chin.

"A ferocious and incredible beast is born under the full moon. So powerful and wild, capable of destroying anything in its path... A mighty Oozaru!" The short-haired leader theatrically moved his hands as he spoke about the Saiyan's ability.

While the rest of the royal guards just levitated behind their leader, Raditz didn't know what to do. His only chance of fulfilling his mission was gone. There was only one choice, to run and find his space pod. If he remained here and allowed to be captured, they would torture him and execute eventually. There was also the fact what Vegeta and Freeza could do to him, but maybe he could find an excuse.

Yes, it wasn't his fault! The reports stated no high power levels and yet there were. Sure, he would receive punishment for failing but not so sever if he told that. So, he only needed to escape from here. He looked around, anything would do.

Meanwhile, the royal guards slowly approached the Saiyan. "Look at him, how pitiful. To think they would send a weak Saiyan to conquer our world." Commented a guard on the left while his golden hair swayed on the wind.

"True, but I thought Saiyans were obliterated together with their world?"

The other voice belonged to a dark-haired female. There was a look of pity in her violet eyes as she stared at the young Saiyan. "Hn, there's always bound to be a survivor. Either way, it doesn't matter. Go and capture him, alive if possible." Was her leader's order.

"Yes, sir!"

He was able to hear all of them coming. There was only one thing he could do. "Damn it! Here goes nothing!" His next actions surprised the warriors of this world.

Surrounded in bright, flashy light Raditz flew into the ravine. While the warriors wondered why would he do that, their leader narrowed his eyes. "That boy, what's he up to. No, don't tell me..." His pupils shaking at the possible realization.

"Everyone, move away! It's not safe there!"

His warning fell on deaf ears. The loud and bright explosions inside the ravine prevented everyone to hear anything. They shielded themselves just in case if the boy tried something, but nothing came in their way. However, something did come out of the explosions. Engulfed in flames, the giant snake emerged from ravine with a horrifying roar. Its presence alone terrified the warriors who didn't expect this.

Acting quickly, the warriors scattered away, avoiding the snake's big mouth. "N-No way! Over five hundred years passed since "The Lord of Terror" surfaced!" One of them yelled the information, completely frightened by the snake's appearance.

With a scowl on his face, the leader lifted his tightly closed fist. "Damn you, you cursed brat! Do you even know what you've done!?" He wanted to find and beat him to death, but with the great snake's appearance, he needed to change priorities. After what the Saiyan brat has done, he couldn't allow his fellow people to witness the terror of the legendary beast.

While the Royal Guard of planet Kabocha was having their hands full with the giant snake, Raditz was flying as fast as he could. In the process of bringing the damn snake out in the open, he broke an arm and probably some ribs. The more he continued to fly, the more it hurt. His vision was disoriented, but through sheer will alone he pushed onward.

It took at least forty minutes for the young Saiyan to find the location of his pod. "F-Finally..." He muttered quietly as he landed close to the pod. As he punched the top of the pod, the metal hatchet started to open. "C-Cmon, faster you piece of junk..." Even a weak breeze would be able to knock him down at this point. It was only a moment before everything went dark in front of his eyes.

Once it was open, Raditz dropped inside and through some pain adjusted himself properly. His tail was hanging over the seat while the hatch slowly closed. Before he started the engine, the Saiyan pressed an emergency button. A mask dropped from the container above his head and with only one hand tried to adjust it on his bruised face. The mask provided easier breathing and more oxygen but it didn't help regarding his vision.

Everything was a blur and he still needed to type in the coordinates. He reached out and without even being able to see what he typed on the board, he smashed the launch button. The vibration and sound of the engine was enough to tell him he managed to activate the pod. He dropped his head against the seat and shortly after, his eyes completely closed.

.

Through the vast and lonely space, the space pod moved with great speed. The round pod was engulfed in bright light as it traveled towards its destination. On its long travel, the space pod passed countless planets as well as asteroid fields. Like before, the pod went through one as well. There was barely any room for the already small pod. The space pod was struck by the floating rocks countless times. While the thing was made of tough material, capable of enduring mostly anything, after sustaining so many hits something was bound to happen.

A robotic voice suddenly came to life inside the pod. "Warning! Critical damage inflicted! Changing course to the nearest habitable planet!" The unconscious passenger didn't have any idea what was going on at the moment. "New destination! Planet Earth!" Forcefully, the space pod changed its course and flew straight for the blue world.

.

An unpleasant tremor suddenly woke him. The moment he opened his right eye, all the pain from the battle resurfaced in an instant. He released a strong and painful groan as he tried to endure it. The young teen gritted with his teeth, trying his best to surpass the terrible pain. It made him wonder, why wasn't anyone coming to get him out. The soldiers or whoever was on duty should already be here. Through the pain, he looked down. He was able to see the open doors but something wasn't right. Instead of the concrete floor, there was a short green grass.

With his left hand, he took off the mask and somehow pushed himself out. The moment he was out of the pod, he dropped on the ground. Warm sunlight graced his tattered body while he lied on the soft grass. The breeze that passed through the valley somehow eased up the pain. It was nice, he never felt anything like that before. He didn't want to move at all, he would rather stay here than go anywhere else. It was so peaceful, a thing he didn't experience in years.

However, he couldn't do that. He needed to find a place to heal his broken body and of course, get some answers. It was evident he wasn't back on the station. This planet was vastly different from it, he could tell that much. Slowly, very slowly, the young warrior tried to get up but nothing. He was done for, this was the end of his short miserable life. Just who would have thought that he would find such a serene place for his last moments.

He waited, for death to knock on his doors, but instead, his ears picked a loud noise. If he could guess, it was the sound of a vehicle. He could hear the thing stop somewhere near him. Another noise, something slammed against something. There were footsteps as well. Great, he would probably be finished off by some weakling.

"W-Woah, what's that thing!?" There was a voice. "Oh, god! Hey, are you alright kid!?" He could feel a pair of hands around him and a male voice. It was annoying! If he needed to die, he wanted it to be in peace.

.

"Get up, we're not done yet!"

All muscles in his body were aching and this bastard still wanted him to fight? Fine! He would show him what he can do! After all, he was born with the highest battle power in their ranks!

After he spat on the ground, he forced his tiny body from the ground. With a childish shout, he lunged at the older male who merely blocked his fist with a leg. It infuriated him how he toyed around. The older man wasn't even trying, he stood there with crossed arms and barely fought seriously. He jumped above the man and landed a couple of meters behind. The chubby-looking boy placed his hands forward and fired a barrage of ki blasts all over the place. Some hit the target while most of them just landed near the serious-looking warrior.

The smoke surrounded the older male. With a simple swing of his hand, he blew the dust away. At that moment, he raised an eyebrow and turned around, catching a little fist. He squeezed the little boy's fist, forcing the child to cry in pain.

"That wasn't that bad, however, won't work against any experienced warrior. You should..."

He didn't want to listen to the man's voice anymore. The boy swung his tail and smacked the older male across the face. "Got you, father!" Despite being caught and in pain, the long-haired child smirked.

There was a visible annoyance in his father's eyes, but he didn't care. He managed to land a blow, however insignificant it was. Before he was able to say or do anything, he felt a sharp pain in his gut. Shortly after that, his entire world started to spin. Moments later, he was thrown on the ground and he wasn't even able to lift a finger.

All he could hear was a ringing in his ears and a faint voice. "Raditz, don't get cocky around others just because you were born with the highest battle potential amongst us low-class Saiyans. Those ridiculous birth power levels mean nothing in real battle, remember that!" What was that? Did he hear his father right? Whatever he was too tired to think anyway.

Suddenly, he felt his body be lifted and carried. There was no sound, his father didn't say a word after they were done. Even better, he thought because he wasn't in the mood to talk about anything with his wild-haired father.

Out of nowhere, he opened his eyes. Purely running on instinct, he rose from the bed but only to drop back. "What the hell!? Where am I!?" His voice reached no one.

He was all alone in a white room. There were several beds and some instruments near them. There was a small open window and of course, the doors. As he shifted around, he noticed something was preventing him from moving too much. He looked down and saw his arm covered in something white. It was stiff and heavy, and mostly getting in the way. He released an annoyed growl as he noticed the same thing on his left leg. Just where the hell was he?

"I must get out of here!" Was his first thought. He didn't know how he got here, but there was no telling with what kind of people he was dealing with. "I'll just destroy this stupid thing!" The young warrior was just about to destroy the cast with his other fist when somebody walked in.

An old man with a white beard walked in, followed by a red-haired woman. "Well, look who finally decided to wake up!" The old man was joking, but that didn't ease up the Saiyan. "We were really worried about you, especially when you were brought to us with such terrible injuries." His dark orbs never lost sight of the old man and the woman.

He needed information. "Where am I? What kind of place is this?" Any wrong answer or sudden movements and he would send the old man and his woman to hell.

"Why, in the hospital. Where else would you be, the amusement park?" The old doctor laughed at his joke while the nurse rolled her brown pupils. "Ah, anyway enough jokes. You were out for quite a while, a whole month to be exact. It's a miracle you survived, I don't think any other human would if I'm honest." He flipped through the papers attached to Raditz's bed as he spoke.

A whole month!? He was lying here and recovering for so long!? Just on what primitive rock did he land? Wait a minute! If he landed here instead of the station that could mean only one thing... His space pod suffered some kind of damage! Considering how primitive these people's medical procedures were, was there even a chance of him fixing the pod!? He needed to get out of here and find out how damaged his pod was.

He tried to, but the nurse stopped him. "Now, now, you're not done healing yet dear." The long-haired warrior shot a murderous glare at the woman, but the stupid creature didn't even notice that.

"You should listen to your lovely nurse, boy. As much as I'm impressed with your healing, you're still in the process of recovery. Another two weeks should be enough before we took off the cast and allow you to leave our hospital."

No way, he wasn't going to stay here for a minute longer! However, a loud growl soon caught everyone's attention. The young Saiyan looked down and finally noticed how hungry he was. He cursed mentally while the doctor and the nurse laughed.

After he adjusted his glasses, the doctor approached the boy. "Don't worry, we have some tasty food here." He stared at the young teen with a smile while the nurse went for the food. "Oh, I do have a question. About that thing, I never saw a human with a tail before. Where you born with it?" This young teen was unusual, to say the least.

Raditz glanced at his tail and saw it hang from the bed. He took control over his tail and immediately wrapped it around his waist, shocking the doctor. "That answers your question, doctor?" The look on the old man brought out a chuckle from the Saiyan.

"Indeed it does. You're an interesting kid, not going to lie. Well, I should go now." The doctor turned around and walked towards the doors. Just as he approached, the nurse walked in with food. "Oh, one more thing. The guy who brought you here wanted to know how you were doing. Can we tell him or will you? The nurse can give you the man's address if you want." He flapped his patient's papers behind his back as he waited for an answer.

That piqued Raditz's interest. Whoever brought him here, knew about the space pod. "No, I'll do it. I want to thank that nice man personally." A devilish smirk appeared on his face.

Yes, the moment this woman gave him the address he would get out of here. There was no stopping him. "Here's the food and I'll come back shortly with the address, okay?" Raditz just gave her a nod. His eyes never moved away from the woman until she walked out of the room, leaving him completely alone.

Once the woman left, the first thing he did was smell the food. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. It didn't seem like a wise thing to heal him and then give poisonous food. Not to mention, the food smelled and looked very tasty. Without any self-control, the Saiyan dug in and devoured everything on the plate. When the nurse came back, he requested more and more food, leaving the poor red-haired woman without any words to say.

The young moonlight shined through the open window, bringing in the cold fresh air. He woke up only a few minutes ago. It was more than enough. His stomach was full and whatever that old doctor said, he felt fine. After all, he was different from them. He didn't want to wait anymore. The young teen rose from the soft bed and touched the floor with his feet. First, he got rid off the cast on his arm and then with the one on the leg. He also removed the bandages around his torso and dropped everything on the floor.

He walked across the room naked, heading towards the closet. When he asked the woman about his armor, she said they almost threw it away but eventually decided to keep it. Good for them, because he wasn't thrilled to wear anything else. When he opened the closet, he immediately noticed his garments. After only five minutes, he was ready to leave. He turned around and dashed towards the window, jumping out.

Without any trouble at all, he soared high into the night's sky and flew around. "What's this, I feel light as a feather! The gravity on this planet is nothing!" The long-haired Saiyan burst into laughter as he spun around and dropped down, only to soar up again.

There was also something else. He stopped goofing off and started to fly normally. He brought his fists closer to his face and stared at them. "Something's different. I can feel I got stronger, much stronger!" Too bad he didn't have a scouter, but he knew his body. There was quite an increase in power thanks to what happened on planet Kabocha.

He tried to control himself and focus on flying. "Now, let's find out where's my pod. I need to figure out how to get off this rock as soon as possible!" Since he was flying so low and with high speed, the Saiyan created ripples on the sea.
