8 Unexpected Situation

One year passed in a breeze.

Everyone was training enthusiastically. Goku and Piccolo were sparring in the air, due to the few potholes they had made in their earlier spar and gotten an earful reproach from King Kai. Gohan and Krillin were sparring on the ground since they were unable to make any visible damage to the planet and as such, King Kai did not disallow them from sparring on the ground. The rest were refining their fighting techniques.

Pshhhh... The big metal cylinder shaped house's door slowly opened as white gas sizzled out from the door's edge.

A limping Raditz dressed in his torn rag like clothes that could barely cling onto his body slowly made his way out from the doorway.

"Ahh...! That was intense! I should really be careful in the future... If not for King Kai having a healing skill I would probably have to rely on a senzu bean. But... If I didn't have one I would really be... So screwed!!" Raditz made a strong mental note in his mind to not carelessly train with the Gravity Chamber. Earth did not have a Rejuvenation Chamber like Frieza Force has. If he really were to get badly injured, he could potentially need a year to heal. All that time which could have been used to train. Or he might actually get killed if an enemy were to appear. Not to mention, Raditz was mesmerized by the Dragon Ball World and had the wish to travel in space. There might not be much danger on Earth, but in space, who knew what might exist there and what hostile aliens might appear.

The first time he used the Gravity Chamber, he had also been too eager to train and severely injured himself over and over until he exhausted all his senzu beans. But at least, when training at King Kai's place or at Kami's place was fine, since both King Kai and Kami had healing skills.

"Learning a healing skill would do wonders..." Raditz thought eagerly.

After limping towards King Kai's house for quite a long time. King Kai finally noticed Raditz's bad condition and hurriedly ran up to him.

"Ah! Raditz, you need to be careful when you train, if you were to cripple your limbs, then even my healing skill will be useless!" King Kai reprimanded Raditz, spitting out a mouthful of saliva which plastered Raditz's face.

"A- Alright! Hurry and heal me before I croak!!" Raditz hurriedly reminded King Kai to heal him first before he loses all his strength.

"Oh right!" King Kai lightly patted his head and hurriedly pointed his pair of antennae at Raditz.

Prururu! A gentle light flicked in front of King Kai's antennae and healed up Raditz's injuries after a few moments.

"There you go! All nice and patched up! Hahaha!" King Kai laughed. Apparently he made a joke as if he patched up Raditz like patching a piece of cloth.

"Thanks King Kai. Since you're patching up, can you also make me a few dozens of training clothes?" Raditz asked naughtily.

"Uhh... You really know how to work me to death!" King Kai gave a wry smile as he started materializing one set of clothes after another.

After an hour, a cheerful Raditz packing away over 20 sets of training clothes into a storage capsule, with a huffing and puffing King Kai lying on the ground with beads of sweat covering his face.

"That's right. King Kai, it's been a year. When are the Saiyans arriving on Earth? Raditz after putting on his new clothes, he remembered King Kai had said that the Saiyans would be arriving in a year. Because Raditz remembered from the story of how King Kai forgot to add in the time needed to traverse the Snake Way, Goku arrived late and lots of his friends ended up dying. Although it was a necessity in order for the story to advance to the Namek Saga, which only happened because Piccolo died and caused Kami to also die, so the dragon balls disappeared.

"Yes! That's right it has already been a year! Oh! how did I forget! Good thing you reminded me! Let me take a look." King Kai lightly patted his head and then he closed his eyes and his antennae shook slightly.

"Hmmm... Hm... Eh?! They didn't head to Earth! They had just traveled to a small planet that was in the direction of Earth. Raditz, didn't you say the Saiyans were coming to Earth?" King Kai asked in confusion. He had calculated their arrival time to be a year from spacepods' speed and the distance to Earth. But it turned out that they didn't even have the intention to fly to Earth!

"Eh?! Hm... I did not expect that. No, that should be the case since my intervention, the events aren't progressing according to the original story now. Did Vegeta only move out immediately because he heard about the dragon balls being able to grant any wish? It seems Vegeta does not see me of any value at all. That's right, he didn't even try to use the dragon balls to wish for Raditz revival nor his father, or the whole Saiyan race. Haa... But according to the old Raditz's memories, Vegeta is very vengeful, even if he lowers my priority, he will certainly come to Earth sooner or later...

...

Meanwhile, Nappa and Vegeta were munching on some grilled foreign alien limbs.

"Vegeta, according to Planet Ghwel's starting position, it should have only taken Raditz a bit more than a year to arrive on Earth. Which means he should have arrived on Earth a year ago. But it's been a year since we lost contact with Raditz. We agreed to meet up here on this planet with Raditz and Kakarot. Even if his scouter broke, it shouldn't be a problem for Raditz to get here on time... Do you think he's in trouble?" Nappa said.

"That useless Radish boy! If he can't even take care of a low level planet he can just die for all I can care." Vegeta sneered.

"But Vegeta! Although Raditz is weaker than me, his battle power is 1,500! It's not something a low level planet can produce. If Raditz is in trouble we should go and help him!" Nappa said. It seems unlike Vegeta, Nappa still cared about his teammates.

"It will take us more than a year to fly to Earth from here. If he can't even handle the planet alone a year ago, then he won't survive until we arrive on Earth." Vegeta said indifferently as he continued munching on his food.

"If Raditz is dead we have to get revenge for him! He's one of us few Saiyans that managed to survive the calamity." Nappa clenched his fist.

"There's no problems in getting revenge. But I can't be bothered to go all my way there just to get revenge. Let's take up the three planets closes to Earth after we finish taking on Planet Kawada." Vegeta intended to take on the missions to clear out the three planets closest to Earth and only then go to Earth as if it was an insignificant matter to take revenge for Raditz.

"Planet Kawada... We were originally planning for Raditz and Kakarot to help us clear the planet. Vegeta, won't the take over be too hard for just the two of us?" Nappa asked. They had originally sent Raditz to Earth to recruit Kakarot just because Planet Kawada was quite strong, once the four of them transformed into Great Apes, they would be able to take care of the planet.

"It doesn't matter, we don't need trash that can't even take care of a low level planet. With my 180,000 battle power once I've transformed, I'll just need your assistance and we can take down the Kawada leader." Vegeta said arrogantly. Apparently, he had struck off Goku(Kakarot) and Raditz from his mental list as they couldn't even survive on a low level planet like Earth.
