The next day."Set Off! Destination Planet Yardrat!" Raditz tapped the launch off b.u.t.ton in his s.p.a.ceship.
The s.p.a.ceship shot off and headed toward s.p.a.ce.

Bulma had been jealous and had tried to join their s.p.a.ce travel. But Raditz sternly rejected her, saying she was way too weak to go somewhere so far away.
Considering that it only takes 5 days to fly to Planet Namek from Earth with his s.p.a.ceship, taking 3 months to reach Planet Yardrat was indeed very far away. Although the chances for meeting s.p.a.ce pirates were quite low, Raditz did not want to babysit Bulma after remembering the scenes from the anime when Bulma had traveled to Planet Namek with Krillin and Gohan.
3 Months pa.s.sed.
Because there was limited s.p.a.ce in the s.p.a.ceship, there was no way to bring out a Gravity Chamber and everyone could only share the only Gravity Simulation Machine built-in on the s.p.a.ceship. Because the four of them had very large discrepancies in their Ki levels, it was impossible to accommodate each other"s needs in gravity training.
The group had therefore rarely used the Gravity Simulation Machine and mostly sparred with each other. Because no one wanted to end up accidentally destroying the s.p.a.ceship and suffocate to death, the four of them all suppressed their Ki levels before they sparred.
Raditz and Gohan reaped the greatest gains during these 3 months. Unlike Goku and Piccolo who had spent their whole lives practicing martial arts, Raditz had only just gotten in touch with martial art. Benefiting from his Saiyan physique, Raditz"s martial foundation had greatly improved, maybe his battle power did not increase by much. He had built a much stronger and better foundation, which will in return bring out greater growth in the future.
Gohan was the same, he was still very young and because of Chichi, Goku had not had the chance to teach Gohan any martial arts until Raditz had appeared.
Gohan was very hardworking, and he became even more hardworking and serious after being praised. Raditz and Goku had praised Gohan after they had seen a visible improvement in Gohan"s martial art skills. Maybe every child liked to get acknowledged and praised, ever since he first got praised, Gohan had worked much harder to improve his martial art skills and whenever he got praised again he would smile so radiantly and cutely as the 5 year old kid he is.
Even Piccolo smiled after seeing Gohan train so earnestly. Somehow, Gohan was really good at getting liked by others, after spending time with this honest and silly kid, one couldn"t help but unconsciously turn friendlier toward Gohan.
Goku had carelessly braved his heart and shot out ki blasts during their sparring sessions, only to earn the beating of both Piccolo and Raditz who were scared to death by Goku"s dumb actions. There were in the middle of nowhere out in the black dark s.p.a.ce. If one of the ki blasts had landed badly and blown a hole in the s.p.a.ceship, all the oxygen would have been sucked out into s.p.a.ce and the four of them would have instantly suffocated to death. Gohan was too young and did not understand the severity, but both Raditz and Piccolo was cold sweating and almost had a heart attack when they saw the stupid Goku smile and shoot Ki blasts at them.
Only after being berated by two very angry Raditz and Piccolo, did Goku finally remember not to shoot any more Ki blasts while they were in s.p.a.ce.
They were about to reach Planet Yardrat, when they suddenly come close enough to sense several large evil Ki energies fluctuation as they created chaos and mayhem on Planet Yardrat.
"Such big Ki! And so dark and evil!" Goku exclaimed.
"Big? Hmph, they don"t even hold a cup against Raditz." Piccolo snorted, he had already gotten used to Raditz being the strongest of their group. Although Piccolo was not the type to change the way he treats people based solely on their strength, Piccolo did treat Raditz much better than Goku. Maybe he still remembered Raditz had helped him pa.s.s King Kai"s trial. Whenever he stared at Goku it was not too hostile nor friendly, it was as if Goku owed him money. But atleast he did not treat Gohan, who was just a 5 year old kid the same as he treats Goku.
Raditz did feel bad that the two of them did not become as close as they did in the original story. The smile he saw from Piccolo reminded him of how Piccolo used to smile at Gohan to show how proud he was at Gohan"s achievements.
"One, two, three, four, five... One of them is much stronger than the rest, three of them are at a similar level and the last guy... is super weak." Raditz suddenly had a guess at who the group of five were.
Soon, the s.p.a.ceship approached Planet Yardrat"s atmosphere. They could hear loud explosions and see many white flashing lights. The group decided to get off directly and put away their s.p.a.ceship, lest there was an accident and the s.p.a.ceship gets ruined so they"ll end up stranded here.
"Hahaha! Too weak! Too weak!" A voice shouted.
"Where do you think you"re going? Unfortunately for you guys, I, Burter am the fastest in the universe!" A blue-skinned alien proclaimed proudly after flying past the escaping pink-skinned Yardratians and blocking their escape path.
"Ugh! How did I forget this? That"s right, Goku only managed to get to Planet Yardrat from the exploding Planet Namek when he boarded the Ginyu s.p.a.cepod because the Ginyu Force were planning to go to Planet Yardrat after they were done with their business in Planet Namek. Since in the story have changed and there is no Namek Saga, the Ginyu Force never needed to go to Planet Namek had had immediately arrived here just now. d.a.m.nit! If I were a bit slower, the Yardratians might be completely exterminated!" Raditz held his forehead with his right hand as he remembered the Ginyu Force was originally going to Planet Yardrat.
Raditz"s group"s appearance startled both sides, although the Yardratians were incapable of fighting back and was only trying their best to escape, both sides stopped their actions and stared at the newcomers.
"Captain, their battle power is only 5,000. They must be tourists." The red-skinned alien, Jeice reported after scanning the Raditz"s group.
"What?! A Namekian and Saiyans?" Jeice yelled in surprise once Raditz"s group flew closer and both sides could finally examine each other. He easily identified Piccolo with his two antennae and green skin as a Namekian. Both Raditz and Gohan had their brown Saiyan tails intact and were quickly identified as Saiyans. The group composition had surprised Jeice, because both the Saiyans and Ginyu Force worked for Frieza and it was impossible for Frieza"s men to be with a Namekian.
"This long-haired monkey... I know you! You"re Raditz. Didn"t Vegeta report you dead?" Captain Ginyu looked at the group in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"This is an unexpected meeting." Raditz frowned. He had planned to avoid getting involved with Frieza as much as possible while he was weak. After all, even with the Dragon b.a.l.l.s, if Frieza destroyed Earth or killed Piccolo, then the Dragon b.a.l.l.s will turn useless.
Raditz was not afraid of Frieza"s men since he himself had gotten a lot stronger. What he was afraid of was catching Frieza"s attention. In a game, it was fun to simply rush right into a boss a thousand times over. But in real life, a real game over was quite permanent.
Worst of all, he knew that Frieza could listen in on their scouter"s conversations. As such, since Captain Ginyu had already announced his name, he would more or less have caught Frieza"s attention.
