October 12.. the arrival of Raditz-
.
Kakarot stood on the edge of the Lookout training his expanded Ki Sense. The entire Milky Way was under his senses when amplified by the Lookout's special magic. The feeling was unreal as everything with a life sign was detected.
An almost map on a grid appeared inside his mind with a multitude of dots representing life. The constant stimulation was training in itself for his Spirit and Magic to grow higher.
'The improvement to skills is great after all this time. So much to study and try in practice in actual application. Dealing with Demons has become a lot easier not to mention the way Dragonballs themselves work and their wishes limitations.'
In front of the Champion, a statue of Shenron floated.
'With status as a Champion, I still can not use the Dragonballs myself and there is that ongoing wish done by Tights back then still working every place I go to maybe. It took them all weeks to find those Dormant Dragonballs and the moment I touched them they were absorbed into me the same as previous ones have done when a wish was made.'
The increase to his Magic reserves was nice and definitely needed since his growth in that department was still less than the other Champion Chichi. Ki is nice and all but he could do more with Magic for experiments.
*Schup!* With the new magic and knowledge, another version of the Unlock Potential Injector was created. The next Tier for Magic is more than Ki in this case. The almost glowing Mystical liquid inside gave the Champion a little pause.
"Hah!" Infusing the injector with some clean Divine Ki, it was sealed away for the next step for the humans in the Dimension later. "Not a single trace of anything else but Divine Ki and Magic... All that is left is to see how long it will take them to truly adapt to this."
*Babump!* Clutching his chest, Kakarot felt the power solidify inside himself further. The last of the former Guardians will was broken and absorbed into the Black Red Soul. The thought of giving them life as one of his children via the 'egg method' was smashed instantly once he learned they stopped resisting to change his very soul from the inside.
"The planets.. I should do the same as I did in my Dimension. But at a different scale considering the number of troops available. Project Sacrifice was designed to work off low numbers anyway." A flash of red shined in his eyes briefly. The Aspect of War informs on different moves to make for the future with the plans he made. "So much to do and so many of my Multiforms out and about. Need to make time to develop a retrieval method for them from the different Dimensions safely."
Wanting to unwind a little, Kakarot started training on the spot. It didn't take long however for someone to come over toward him. By the feel of it was Launch and she was a little tense.
"Hey, Kakarot!" The tone in her voice only reaffirmed his thoughts on the coming subject. "This mudball of a planet is scrap, what the heck are we gonna do with it?"
Even with the restoration methods, they have done they had a long way to go to come back.
"Fix it, why are you so agitated?" Turning to the woman he couldn't get over how much being a Saiyan suited her. Her very movement and speaking matched several Saiyans from his History when checking it over. "Not much to steal from here but..."
"I just don't like seeing so much destruction caused by one person that looks like you. Granted it was over the years but still..." Launch trailed off staring at his tail moving about. She paid no mind to the floating statue of Shenron from this Dimension. "..the "other" you is a bad egg."
"Rehabilitating him goes a long way to mapping out mental issues in others." Kakarot nodded, understanding where she was coming from but the Undying Kakarotto was a very valuable course of study for him. "Considering how many times you used a Bazooka and did destruction, this should be right up your alley."
"Humph, that was just to get away!" The thief scoffed upturning her nose. "Since you were just sparring with yourself how about a partner?"
It was not a question as Launch fired her arm cannon before dashing forward at the same time. Her training with utilizing Ki and movements had increased even further than before.
*Baam!* Kakarot threw his arm up in a guard to block. The force carried behind the blow pushed him back off the Lookout. The statue of Shenron was pulled into his Internal Space to keep it from getting damaged before it was too late.
"Someone has been hitting the gym..." Flexing his somewhat numb arm Kakarot was surprised at the damage done. "..you plan on..." Kakarot zipped up as he felt the rise in Ki from Launch at a rapid pace. 'Where did she learn this technique now?'
"Haaah!" Having taken the Hybrid treatment and enhancements, the thief had grown to the level of an actual fighter with further effort. Surprising him by reaching Super Saiyan already. "I plan on lasting a lot longer than before so no excuses to go and do something else! Like helping the kiddos!"
"They are about to come across Raditz!" His eyes shone with magic as a smile appeared on his face. 'A little more training for the others and we can head out into space here. Frieza.. I mean Freeza in this Dimension will be a good way to gauge my strength compared to other threats.'
"Let them handle it!" With the increased speed and overwhelming Ki, Launch clutched her hands together smashing him down to the ground. Again the numbing sensation took over but even further disrupted the Ki flow. "If you don't take me seriously, you're gonna regret it!"
Shooting down the Lookout and passing by Korin's Tower, the sandbag treatment came to an end the moment Kakarot pushed his magic to break free of the paralysis-type effect.
"I will keep that in mind!"
Getting serious, the two's fighting grew close and deadly.
Elsewhere, contact was made with the landed visitor from the stars.
*Chsh!* With a hiss of released pressure, A tall man with hair down to his butt exited a Saiyan Attack Pod. This was none other than Raditz of this Subsidiary Dimension. On his way to pick up his brother to help with the takeover of another planet.
"So this is your planet, little brother?" Taking a look around, the mid-class Saiyan was surprised at the place. Lush trees in the distance and clean air would please a lot of different races. "It's true about what they say, this should sell well...."
Above the intruder's head, several soldiers descended from above and encircled the area in no time.
"What? There are other survivors?" Raditz clicked his scouter to get a reading on the various power levels. A frown immediately leveled on his face after a close look at the display. "3000! This can't be!?"
More Saiyans was one thing but the fact they were so strong was another. With power levels almost double his own.
"Check this guy out, he can't be anyone important to arrive by himself." Rigor looked into the sky running his scouter. Not detecting anything himself, he thought it was odd no other reading was picked up. "Maybe just a messenger of sorts."
"Just call it in all the same." Seppari tapped his chest with a backhand." Hey you," she called out to the other Saiyan. "identify yourself at once."
"Brat, who do you think you are talking to?" Raditz boasted as he cut his hand in the air threateningly. 'Are they the children of Elites that were hidden away by the King in the past?'
The mid-class warrior was confused and that did not make the situation any easier.
"What did you call me?? little brat?" Seppari scowled as her body tensed up. "Care to repeat that through broken teeth you loser!"
Raditz pushed the wrong button on the more controlled member of the group.
*Woosh!* A body appeared as Ruby Teleported to the location. A few seconds later a giant green ball of energy swooped down. Dissipating it revealed Broly who came over with the use of speed alone.
"Hey, what is going on down here?"
"Nothing too major, just some random Saiyan crashing on the planet." One of the Saiyans answered.
"Hmm, he looks weak." Ruby rubbed her chin looking him over. Tapping her scouter she checked over the readings to make sure he was not hiding his power level. "Wow.. you have got to be kidding me!"
Raditz: Saiyan (Locked Potential)
Spirit: 32,213
Ki: 1,432 → 1601 (Anger Induced)
Magic: 748,471 (Locked Core)
"Take him to the Lookout to wait." Ruby ordered. Feeling the energy spikes of her father fighting against Launch she didn't want to interrupt it. 'Father said there was something about this guy called Raditz but didn't say what. It has to be this high Magical Aptitude.'
"Fine." Rigor gestured for the others to apprehend Raditz as he calmed down Seppari. "Come on, he didn't know anything about your condition. The treatment will be done soon to allow for a more normal growth."
Seppari didn't stop glaring as she turned away and flew off. If Raditz would have called her a runt, well... that would have been the end of his life for one.
.
Reunion-
.
Kakarotto and Raditz spent the last few hours discussing familial ties and what was next. The other unbelieving of all the Saiyans that survived the destruction of the Home Planet and lived on Earth. He was not told of course about them being from a different Dimension.
The subject of Prince Vegeta and Nappa came up as how to approach the situation.
"You are taking over the entire North Galaxy, so why not just deal with them now big brother?" Kakarotto asked unsure of the next step.
"Big Brother?" Raditz was confused for a moment at the address used towards the other. "He is not your brother, only I am your brother! Dad didn't have any more kids!"
Of course, he couldn't say that with any real conviction. Not like he knew what his father was up to on missions.
"Well, the resemblance between us is so high, besides the scars and eye coloring we could be twins." Scratching a scar that healed on his face from magic it was one of the few identifiers to tell the two apart besides the way they dressed and Ki felt. "I don't see the big deal."
"You shouldn't call him brother!" Raditz was a bit jealous.
"Hmm, it's fine either way." Kakarot stood up from his seat doing a little stretch. This was a good chance to do Space Recon under the umbrella of meeting up with the other Saiyans. "Both of our names are similar as well so it should help with work if others just believe us to be brothers."
"I'm still the oldest!" Radditz shouted back before getting embarrassed for some reason.
"Yeah, I am older than you because of my training methods. So.. you are like the middle brother age-wise. Plus..." Letting his Ki rise, he emphasized the point fully with that. "I am much stronger than you!"
"Ugh!" Raditz fell back before grounding his footing. Peeking behind his arm from the force, he could barely withstand the power difference between the two. "Why are you so strong!?"
"Heh, he is still holding back!" Kakarotto grinned ferally. Blood pumping at the thought of getting into another sparring match soon. "Let's do it like this, whoever remains the strongest gets to be the big brother of us three! That way the little brothers always have a goal to push for!"
It was a silly thing but it made the former crazed Saiyan more rational.
The trio came to an agreement quickly just to end the conversation. The plan to depart would not take long at all. To deal with Frieza's forces after meeting up with Nappa and Vegeta would be a long campaign but a good one for a path to power.
"Before we depart though, you have to get him ready. This will also be a test of your own growth Kakarotto." Kakarot sent a thought out to the group that would go in with him into the Time Chamber. "A mix of Humans, Saiyans, and Namekians. Make sure no one dies inside and goes too far. Restraint is what Raditz needs to learn the same as you did."
"Spoilsport," Kakarotto smirked walking off.
"What's with that armor and that mark on your arm?" Raditz looked at the Timebreaker Armor and the Majin/Timebreaker Mark on his actual brother. 'What has he been up to here to get these strange tattoos?'
"Do well enough and you can get these as well."
