Raditz took a few days of well-deserved rest. He had trained hard for over 4 months and enjoyed the relaxing days on Earth. Since he had nothing to do on his rest days, he brought Gohan and Goku to relax with him.Although Raditz invited Piccolo as well, he declined as he was intent on continuing his persistent training.
"Wow, Gohan you really have changed a lot!" Raditz praised Gohan. Even without sparring with Gohan, Raditz could feel the great change in his Ki and aura.
"Yes, uncle Piccolo is very strict but also caring. Unlike dad, Piccolo knows how to be harsh and push me to my limits. Ehehe... Dad is always so soft, but I can"t blame him either." Gohan said with a smile, like always he was happy to get praised. Gohan had felt the huge difference between Goku and Piccolo"s teaching. Being as hardworking as he is, he was rather happy to train under Piccolo.
Raditz was taught how to fish with his tail. Both Raditz and Gohan stood at the bank of the river with their tails waving slowly in the water.
Once they felt a stir in the water, they retracted their tails and behind them, a giant fish jumped out of the water chasing their tails.
"Ahh! That reminds me of my childhood. I used to fish with my tail too. Too bad Kami had it removed." Goku reminisced and said in a laid back manner.
...
A time machine with the Capsule Corp logo on its engine suddenly appeared in the Northern Wastelands. A purple-haired youth disembarked and surveyed his surroundings.
"I hope I can change the past and save my world." Trunks muttered.
"...That"s weird. I"m pretty sure Frieza should be coming over by now." A confused Trunks flew up in the skies and scouted the area for any signs of battle.
"I can"t find any debris of Frieza"s s.p.a.ceship either. It"s as if he never appeared on Earth." Trunks had circled around the whole Northern Wastelands a few times already and got more confounded the more he scouted the area.
"I wonder if Goku will still land in the same spot?" Trunks looked doubtfully the coordinates shown on his watch.
Still, with no better options. Trunks flew over to the coordinates that Goku had landed on Earth from his timeline.
"It"s been over 4 hours... According to mom, he should have landed here over an hour ago." Trunks said with a wry smile. Unfortunately, even after waiting for over 4 hours, Goku did not land there.
Because he was born late, he did not recognize any of the Ki around on Earth.
"What do I do? The past is nothing like what mom told me... Could it be that the past has already diverged? But how? It shouldn"t be... I just arrived." Trunks said in disbelief.
"Let"s go to Goku"s home. Gohan should be there." Trunks decided and took to the skies.
Because Trunks had suppressed his Ki, no one noticed his arrival on their timeline.
...
Above the skies in Mt. Paozu, tiny shockwaves exploded and stirred the air. Raditz and Gohan were sparring high up in the skies, so as not to destroy the surface area of Mt. Paozu. Especially since they lived there.
Even though they were not fighting with all they had and had suppressed their Ki, they still caused a small stir high up in the skies, with each clash, a tiny shockwave spread out and tiny explosions could be heard in the skies.
"How is this possible?! Even though Gohan isn"t going all out, with my experience I would say his battle power is enormous already! Maybe 3 or 400,000. It could even be more, considering Gohan"s potential, without extreme anger, it"s difficult for him to dig out all his powers..." Raditz was shocked. He had thought he had worked hard by reaching 3 million battle power. But Gohan was already catching up.
Maybe because Raditz was behind in training by a year since he was only focused on tempering his spirit and the few Spirit Control techniques he had set his eyes on while he stayed in Planet Yardrat. Gohan hadn"t reached the threshold to learn Instant Transmission, but he couldn"t have only tempered his spirit for a whole year in Planet Yardrat. Raditz did remember giving Gohan the advise to also train his body in the Gravity Chamber.
"I did know Gohan has incredible potential since he was able to transform into a Super Saiyan 2 not long after he learned to transform into a Super Saiyan in Cell Saga..." Raditz thought.
"How did I do uncle Raditz?" Gohan asked with eager eyes as if saying "Please praise me!"
"Very good! You"re catching up to me soon." Raditz smiled and ruffled Gohan"s hair.
"Hahaha!" Gohan laughed happily.
They descended and landed back on the ground. But what waited for them was a grumpy Bulma standing next to her hovercar.

"Raditz! When are we going to s.p.a.ce?" Bulma walked out of the hovercar with her cheeks puffed.
"Come on, it"s only been over a week since I came back from s.p.a.ce." Raditz complained.
"What? When did you go to s.p.a.ce?! Why didn"t you bring me? I want to go to!! I want to go!" Bulma threw a tantrum.
"Then why don"t you just go by yourself? You got plenty of spare s.p.a.ceships at home." Raditz asked.
"Are you crazy? There are tons of bad guys on Earth already. I bet there are even more bad guys in s.p.a.ce." Bulma complained.
Just then, Raditz felt like he sensed something and turned to look at the skies. A tiny black dot was rapidly enlarging and soon turned into a young man with purple hair.
"Ah. That"s future Trunks. I did remember it was around Age 764, August he came. Too bad there was no exact date, so I had wondered whether this timeline was the main timeline or an alternative timeline created by future Trunks from his time travel... But now I know." Raditz had a slight smile. How interesting it is for Raditz to be in an alternative timeline, but it was the main timeline of the storyline that appeared on the anime.
"That means Cell is already here. How fun." Raditz had a smile on his face upon thinking of Cell, he unconsciously turned to look at Gohan.
Bulma wasn"t able to make sense of the tiny dot far in the distance, but Gohan stared seriously at the dot as it enlarged.
"Who is he? I"ve never sensed his Ki before. His Ki is weak, but I have the feeling he is really strong." Gohan looked serious.
"What? Is it an enemy? Don"t tell me the Saiyans have finally come?" Bulma started getting worried.
Future Trunks lightly landed on his feet in front of Raditz and the rest.
Gohan raised his arms and prepared himself for battle. Bulma was worried that Trunks was a Saiyan and hid behind Raditz"s back.
"h.e.l.lo." Trunks looked awkwardly at the group that did not look very welcoming to him.
"Phew! He doesn"t have a tail." Bulma wiped away the sweat on her forehead and heaved a sigh in relief.
"Though he is not a Saiyan, he"s quite close to being one as a half Saiyan..." Raditz joked in his mind.
"h.e.l.lo. Who are you looking for, mister?" Upon seeing that Trunks was friendly and meant no harm. Gohan reverted back to the cute and lovely kid again.
"Eh...? Ah! Yes! Yes, yes! I"m looking for Mr. Son Goku. Do you know where he is?" Trunks had been looking at Raditz in a daze.
"Just who is that Saiyan? Mom told me the only Saiyans on Earth were my dad, Mr. Son Goku, and Gohan..." Trunks thought in his mind upon seeing Raditz"s brown-furred monkey tail.
It actually wasn"t so simple for him to identify a Saiyan, considering that all Saiyans had had their tails cut off from his timeline. So Trunks was even more confounded to see both Gohan and Raditz have their tails intact.
"Oh, my dad? He"s home. What"s your name, mister?" Gohan looked curiously at Trunks.
"Huh, your jacket got our Capsule Corp logo. Are you perhaps one of our employees?" After Bulma relaxed, she got curious and especially after seeing the handsome Trunks, she couldn"t help but scrutinize him closer.
"No, I"m not... I"m sorry, but I can"t tell you." Trunks said apologetically.
"It"s not like you"ll be born, considering Vegeta never came to Earth..." Raditz lampooned in his mind. Even if he stayed mysterious to hide his ident.i.ty, it was unknown whether Bulma will be able to have a "Trunks" when she still had never met Vegeta in this timeline.
"You can"t even tell us anything?" Bulma was disgruntled by Trunks" att.i.tude.
"I"m sorry, I can"t tell you my name, but I can tell you my age. I"m 17. But I would like to speak to Mr. Son Goku, it"s important." Trunks said apologetically.
"I don"t think he"s a bad person. Come, I"ll bring you to my dad." Gohan said and lead the group back to his home.
