Earth was descending into unprecedented panic.
Signals from major television stations were forcibly cut and replaced with emergency evacuation announcements issued by governments around the world.
Red warning text scrolled across every screen.
"Unidentified flying objects are approaching. Estimated impact location: East City. This is not a drill."
Across cities and highways, order had already collapsed.
Supermarket shelves were empty. People even fought over expired dog food.
Traffic stretched endlessly along the highways as horns blared nonstop.
Some people abandoned their cars and fled on foot, while others knelt by the roadside praying desperately.
Fear spread across the world like a plague.
However, inside Capsule Corporation in West City, the atmosphere was completely different.
It felt like a peaceful island inside a storm.
A massive defensive energy shield blocked all outside noise.
The central climate system maintained a steady temperature, and the air smelled faintly of freshly baked cookies.
Bulma sat in a leather swivel chair inside the control room with a cup of hot black coffee in her hand.
In front of her, a wall-sized holographic display showed rapidly updating streams of data.
"Orbital calculation complete. Error correction 0.001 percent."
Bulma tapped lightly on the virtual keyboard.
"They really chose a perfect landing point. Straight toward East City. They're not just coming to find someone. They're showing off."
She glanced at the countdown in the corner of the screen.
3 hours and 12 minutes until impact.
"Predicting the landing location this precisely? There's no one else on Earth who could do that except me."
Bulma stretched calmly without showing any anxiety.
After all, her bald husband had confidently promised the night before that even if Earth exploded, he would put it back together for her.
Meanwhile, on the second floor in the children's room, the atmosphere was completely different.
Under soft warm lighting, Krillin sat cross-legged beside Trunks' bed holding a picture book titled Encyclopedia of the Universe.
He was conducting what he called pre-battle preparation.
"Daddy, who is that uncle who looks like a hedgehog?" Trunks pointed at a drawing of Vegeta.
"Oh, this one," Krillin stroked his chin and answered seriously.
"This unlucky guy is called Vegeta. He's a short tsundere prince."
"His favorite hobby is telling everyone he's an elite warrior before getting beaten into the ground."
"And what about this big bald guy?"
Trunks pointed at another picture.
"Is he as strong as you, Dad?"
Krillin immediately made a disgusted expression.
"Don't compare that guy with me."
"His name is Nappa. He's just a brute who only relies on strength. His baldness comes from dead hair follicles. Your dad is bald because I'm too strong. That's the difference."
Trunks nodded sleepily.
"Then why are they coming to Earth?"
"Because they have a death wish." Krillin closed the book and tucked him in.
"Go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll take you to watch the show."
"I want to go too!"
Gohan sat up from the next bed with bright eyes.
After six months of training, although he was still gentle by nature, his Saiyan fighting instincts had awakened significantly.
"You'll both come."
Krillin smiled and rubbed Gohan's head.
After putting the two boys to sleep, Krillin quietly left the room.
At the end of the hallway, Bulma leaned against the wall holding the Dragon Radar.
"Are the Dragon Balls ready?"
"Yes. They're all in the basement."
Krillin nodded as his expression became serious.
Goku should have nearly finished his training with King Kai by now.
Even if Goku was no longer absolutely necessary to win, something still felt missing without him present.
The two of them walked down to the underground vault.
Seven orange Dragon Balls rested quietly inside a shockproof container, glowing softly.
Krillin looked at them carefully.
After the previous wish that removed his genetic limits, he had sensed a strange murky energy gathering inside them.
It was the early formation of negative energy.
"System, scan the condition of the Dragon Balls."
Scanning.
Target: Earth Dragon Balls
Status: Negative Energy accumulation 12 percent
Warning: Excessive use may trigger premature emergence of Shadow Dragons. Use with caution.
"Only twelve percent. Still safe for now."
Krillin stepped outside into the open garden behind Capsule Corporation.
He raised his arms.
"Come forth, Shenron. Grant my wish."
Dark clouds instantly covered the sky.
Golden lightning split the heavens as a massive green pillar of light shot upward and formed the body of a colossal dragon.
Shenron appeared.
Its enormous body filled the sky as its red eyes looked down upon the humans below.
"You who have gathered the Dragon Balls, state your wish. I shall grant one wish."
Krillin looked up and spoke clearly.
"Shenron, please resurrect Son Goku."
Shenron's eyes flashed red briefly.
"This wish is simple."
Far away on King Kai's Planet, the halo above Goku's head dissolved instantly.
"The wish has been granted."
Shenron raised its head.
"Farewell."
The dragon transformed into seven beams of golden light and scattered across the world.
Krillin did not attempt to track them.
He no longer relied on them for security.
At that moment, his System panel appeared automatically.

"Eighteen thousand base combat power."
Krillin clenched his fist and felt energy surge through his body like an ocean.
"When Vegeta arrived on Earth, his combat power was only eighteen thousand. That means I can fight him evenly even without Kaioken."
"If I activate Kaioken..."
Krillin smiled slightly.
"Goku is revived. Now it's time to pick up our savior and bring him home."
