Raditz tapped a few b.u.t.tons on his s.p.a.ceship and had the ship fly back to Earth."Sigh... Although in my strongest form, my power is closing in on a million. My actual base battle power is just 42,000. If I want to transform into a Super Saiyan, I need several million of battle power to have enough S-cells... Unless I get a chance to become as angry as Goku did when Frieza killed Krillin." Raditz sighed.
"I remember it was Age 767, 12th May. The day that the androids appeared on that island southwest of South City. Right now is Age 762, December. Hum... About 4 and a half years. I have to work hard! But I should also be prepared in case Frieza happens to appear... I"ll have to urge Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan to train harder." Raditz said with a wry smile.
"As for Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan and Chiatzu... Sorry, I don"t have the heart to tell you guys but I doubt you can do anything more than be cannon fodder." Raditz thought of their training at King Kai. Everyone was so excited and motivated. They trained so hard everyday and they smiled so radiantly... After thinking about it for a bit, he decided to let them be and not discourage them.
After a few hours, the s.p.a.ceship closed in on the blue planet called Earth.
"Eh? Is that a giant tree?" Raditz"s eyes popped out.
There was a gigantic tree with green leafy canopy growing out of Earth. Although the tree looked small in comparison to the big Earth, it had grown out of Earth"s atmosphere already. Raditz remembered just how gigantic the Tree of Might was in the anime.
"Oh s.h.i.t! Will they be alright? I remember Goku was stronger in the Tree of Might movie because he had fought a life and death battle with Vegeta, after a Zenkai he was much stronger... Maybe with 30,000 in battle power. But right now, he might have gotten stronger than he did in the storyline from training at King Kai because he wasted a lot of time on traversing the Snake Way. And also because he borrowed my Gravity Chamber for a bit. But either way, his battle power won"t be even close to 30,000!" Raditz started to worry. He had spent 2 months in s.p.a.ce. Who knew when Turles had arrived, a month ago? If so, could Goku and them still be alive after so long? Seeing how the Tree of Might was still there could only mean that Goku and the rest had not defeated Turles yet at least.
"I hope the tree had just grown. The only thing good is that the Tree of Might requires an enormous amount of nutrition, the fact that Earth still looks okay, can only mean that it hasn"t been too long since the tree was planted." Raditz consoled himself.
Raditz went to the control board and steered the s.p.a.ceship to land near the gigantic tree.
"What an enormous Ki! It doesn"t feel familiar. Could it be Turles? Just how many fruits of Tree of Might did he eat?" After the s.p.a.ceship approached the tree, Raditz immediately was alarmed from the gigantic Ki emitted by someone next to the tree.
"Is that over 400,000 battle power?" Raditz frowned upon comparing the big difference between his Ki and the enormous Ki that was likely 10x his Ki.
Soon, Raditz began to sense several weaker Ki.
"That"s Goku"s Ki! d.a.m.n it! His Ki is so weak it"s almost disappearing!" Raditz was alarmed and hurriedly opened the hatch even before the s.p.a.ceship landed and flew toward Goku"s Ki.
"Goku!" Raditz saw Goku all bloodied lying on a gigantic tree root.
"Here! Eat a senzu bean!" Raditz hurriedly put a senzu bean into Goku"s mouth.
Crunch, crunch... Gulp! With great effort, Goku chewed the senzu bean and swallowed it.
"Haaa... Thanks, big brother!" Goku, now all healed up and energetic. Jumped up and thanked Raditz for saving him.
"Wow. Although I already knew its effects. But seeing it with my own eyes is so much more amazing!" Raditz exclaimed after seeing Goku fully recover from his earlier crippled state. Although he had used senzu beans before, it had never been when he was so badly injured and crippled that he could not even move a finger. After all, someone had to feed him the senzu bean if he were in that state.
"d.a.m.n did Goku"s Ki just increase by so much? It"s already close to mine after his Zenkai." Raditz said inwardly after sensing Goku"s Ki.
"What do we have here? Another Saiyan? This time a real Saiyan with his tail intact!" An arrogant voice came from beyond.
"Turles!" Goku yelled angrily.
The speaker appeared and he looked just like Goku, except his skin color was slightly darker.
"I didn"t think of this earlier. But since Turles appeared, does that mean this is really an alternative timeline? After all, the forums discussed about the paradox of Goku fighting Turles when he"s actually in Namek. Now I"m really curious about what would have actually happened if this timeline actually progressed normally. Would Goku really go to Namek then? And if so, what would have happened to Earth. Well, too bad I have no thoughts of dying just so the story will follow the storyline." Raditz frowned as he looked at Turles.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Poof! Turles scanned Raditz"s battle power when the scouter suddenly exploded.
"Raditz! What are you doing here? Did your team decide to take over Earth?" Turles asked warily. He himself was a Low Cla.s.s Saiyan Warrior and was wary of Raditz who was a Mid Cla.s.s Warrior.
"It seems that he has no idea his Ki is over 10 times mine. That seems normal, I would be the same if I didn"t learn Earth"s Martial Arts." Raditz thought silently. Since the scouter broke after scanning Raditz"s battle power, it could only mean that his scouter was a first generation scouter with a max reading limit of 24,000 battle power.
"Why do you care?" Raditz said rudely.
"Hmph! Just because you"re a Mid Cla.s.s Warrior with another Mid Cla.s.s warrior and a Super Elite Cla.s.s Warrior. Don"t think you can belittle me now!" Turles sneered and took out a red fruit with many b.u.mps on it and started eating it. Maybe he was worried about fighting the Prince Vegeta, Super Elite in Raditz"s former team. Little did he know that Raditz had already defected from Vegeta.
"d.a.m.n it! Can"t let him eat more! Otherwise, this will become problematic!" Raditz rushed toward Turles.
Just as he reached Turles, Turles had just finished eating the fruit of Tree of Might. Raditz could already feel Turles" Ki increase.
"10x Kaioken!" Raditz activated Kaioken and amplified his Ki by 10 times before punching Turles.
"Not bad strength! I might have been in trouble if I did not eat that fruit just now." Turles sneered after blocking Raditz punch with his forearm.
Bam! Bam! Smash! Raditz and Turles flew up into the skies and threw punches and kicks at each other.
Although Turles was stronger than Raditz, with Raditz"s own experiences of the Saiyan"s savage fighting style. Raditz could predict most of Turles" moves, now that he had refined his own fighting style after learning Earth"s Martial Arts, he no longer fought so crudely with his fighting style relying simply on sheer brute strength.
Raditz punched and deflected Turles attacks over and over. But due to the disparity in Ki, Raditz could not dish out any real damage to Turles.
"d.a.m.nit! I can"t hold on much longer with 10x Kaioken if this continues! Come on! My body, you can handle 11x Kaioken!" Raditz pushed his Kaioken further to amplify his Ki to 11 times, while at the same time clenching his teeth from the pain of overloading his body.
"Go go go! You can do it, big brother!" Goku was cheering at the side.

"Ugh! Why are you just watching me fight? Shouldn"t you pincer attack him with me?" Raditz complained internally. Though he already knew Goku"s personality which is to fight fairly one on one.
Raditz clashed again and again with Turles and started to inflict some injuries. Though not severe, small injuries would slowly build up. Turles wasn"t an idiot and had tried to pull away from Raditz to eat another Fruit of Tree of Might, but Raditz intercepted him.
"Idiot!" Raditz slammed his body into Turles without regard to injuries and s.n.a.t.c.hed the fruit from Turles.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Turles cursed after seeing Raditz hold the fruit which was originally his.
Cough! Raditz coughed out a mouthful of blood. The only reason he had managed to gain the upper hand in the earlier battle was because Raditz was more skilled in fighting than Turles. Now that he let Turles attack him without defending himself just so he could s.n.a.t.c.h the fruit, Raditz got badly injured. Even though Raditz was using 11x Kaioken, Turles" Ki was still higher than Raditz"s by a notch. If they were to fight simply by brute force, Raditz would have ended up losing the battle.
"With the fruit, my base power will increase enormously. Then I can easily beat Turles!" Raditz thought and opened his mouth.
"No! If I don"t rely on battles to grow stronger, I don"t know when I"ll reach a million in battle power! And most of all, I"m totally missing out on the Zenkais if I don"t do battles like this!" Raditz suddenly stopped and retracted his hand that held the fruit from entering his mouth and put away the fruit.
"Hahaha! You fool!" Turles had been anxious when he saw Raditz about to eat the fruit, but seeing how he hesitated and then put away the fruit. Turles heaved a sigh in relief.
"Hmph! So what if my body breaks! I got plenty of senzu beans! 12 times! no 13x Kaioken!" Raditz decided to teach Turles a lesson.
