Hey guys! I haven't posted anything in awhile, but I am working on a DBZ FT crossover as we speak. I'm nearly done with 3 chapters and I just started this month. For all newcomers, welcome! I thought of doing this for fun when I saw a clip from Book 3. It then escalated to me rewatching all of Books 3 and 4, so I really couldn't avoid doing this story. It will be short, possibly 4-8 chapters, just so I don't lose track of the main story I'm working on.

Also letting you know, I just started this thing today and finished this chapter right now as I am about to post, so there may be grammatical errors in this, hope if you don't mind.

Enjoy!


It was a bright and sunny day in the city of Zaofu, a city built almost entirely out of metal, and is home to the Metal Clan. It's inhabitants are almost all metalbenders, hence the name of the clan. Everyone was doing their own thing, whether it was walking through the streets, eating lunch, going to school, or staying at home. There were also rumours that the Avatar was going to visit the city, which delighted everyone there.

"Hey mommy, could we get toys from that store?" a little boy asked his mother outside a toyshop. The mother raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"Sure why not? Now let's go and..." she trailed off as she saw some faint light in the sky, gradually getting brighter by the second, accompanied by a thunder-like sound. She turned to her fellow citizens as they also saw the same thing.

"It's a meteor!" Someone shouted with panic. That was the tipping point as the citizens of Zaofu started to flee their city in a frenzy, leaving behind whatever they were doing.

However, what they didn't know was that the object headed towards their city was not a meteor.


A minute prior to panic...

As the rest of the city enjoyed their day, so was the Zaofu matriarch who was currently eating her midday meal with her family at a round table.

"So Opal, are you excited to finally learn airbending?" asked Suyin Beifong, co-creator of the metal city.

Opal, her daughter, nodded excitedly. "Of course mom. I can't wait to start learning from a master. But isn't there only one airbender with his kids?" she asked before putting some rice in her mouth.

"I think you're talking about Tenzin," Bataar Jr. remarked.

Suyin nodded in confirmation. "Well, I'm sure that-" she was cut off by a man, presumably a servant, slammed the door open while out of breath. Her husband Bataar stood up in alarm.

"What is the meaning of this?" he demanded. The man caught his breath and his composure and headed towards him.

"Sir, we've just detected a huge meteor headed right towards our city! The entire populace has gone into panic and evacuating the city as we speak!" Everyone in the room were shocked by the news. It seems as though their city wasn't as safe as they had thought it to be.

"Alright, everyone get out of here now! Wei, Wing, and Huan! You have to help me try to divert that rock," she ordered. They all got the message and left their dining room. While her husband and her other two children fled, Suyin and her three sons went to the top of the tallest building in their city.

The meteor was in clear view, but it was headed towards them and really fast. But what was strange about this rock was that it wasn't on fire like it was supposed to be. Instead there was just some white light surrounding it.

"On my mark. Ready?" the daughter of Toph asked of her sons. They all nodded and got into standard metalbending position. Once it got closer than half a mile, she counted to three under her breath before shooting her hands towards the incoming object.

"Now!" They all mustered all of their strength to protect their home and tried to slow it down as much as possible, but it was traveling at a very high velocity.

"Mom...it's too much!" Huan strained to get the words out as his resolve was quickly wavering. Suyin wanted to say something but she knew what he said was true. But as it got closer, within a couple hundred feet to the city, they thought it was the end, but it nearly missed the tall building and head towards the mountains next to the city.

BOOM!

It crashed into the side of the mountain, creating a huge crater that was visible throughout Zaofu and it's citizens who were safely evacuated. They had to cover their eyes from the dust that started to accumulate rapidly in the atmosphere.

Suyin and the boys struggled to catch their breath, having been a while since they exerted that much effort. However, Suyin noticed one thing that no one else noticed. She snapped her fingers to get their attention towards her.

"Just give...us a second...mom," Wei pleaded as he took a huge gulp of air.

"Just look at that. That's no meteor, and it's so spherical as well as that red thing on the front of it." she pointed out. They all looked at each other and had the same thought.

'Then just what is it then?' That question plagued their minds.


10 days later...

Goku felt like he had been run over by a train ten thousand times over, because his head felt like total crap. He had just regained his consciousness, or he thought he did. A groan escaped from his throat as he struggled to keep himself awake.

"Hey, he's stirring!" Someone shouted. That definitely woke him up as his eyes started to flutter open.

"That quick?"

"Good, maybe now we can get out of this post." That confused the Saiyan greatly. Were they guarding him or something?

"Call the matriarch here now!" A gruff voice ordered. Goku's eyes were now completely open and was now aware of his surroundings. He was in some weird dimly lit room surrounded by metal walls with designs he didn't care to make out. Craning his neck down a bit, he saw bandages covering his entire body, as well as his head. He groaned internally, remembering his time in the hospital after his battle with Vegeta. That was one place he swore never to visit again after they had tried to inject him with needles.

"So I see that you are awake." He snapped out of his internal musings to look at the new figure who entered the room through the sliding door. It was a woman with some shards of metal hanging around her neck as a necklace. She wore a black tunic with green sleeves. Her eyes then narrowed at him. "I can't see how you were able to recuperate so fast. You were at death's door! It should have taken a month for you to even get stabilized."

Goku only blinked a couple times, getting confused with her statement. What was going on here? The lady could see his dilemma and answered his question for him before he could speak.

"You seem to not remember the damage you caused yourself and to the wellbeing of this city!" She nearly shouted. Her eyes widened and cleared her throat. She motioned one of the guards to stand next to the injured man.

Goku wasn't fazed at all at her outburst. Instead he finally spoke. "Sorry miss, but where am I?" She was a little astounded at his politeness towards her.

"You are in the city of Zaofu in the Earth Kingdom. My name is Suyin," she revealed to him.

"And I'm Goku! Nice to meet you," Goku let out a relieved sigh. It was starting to come back to him. He escaped Namek on his spaceship with his life intact. Now he was on his home planet with people helping him recover.

"Oh good. I almost thought I wasn't on Earth," he said casually. Suyin looked at him as if he was crazy, now considering to put him in a mental facility.

"Where did you think you were? On the moon?" She mocked a bit.

Goku was dead serious though. "Maybe. I could've crash landed on any other planet as far as I know," he said in a grave tone. He then looked at a plate on a small table next to him with some meat on it and tried to reach for it with his arms but they were too tired to actually function. "Could you give me that plate please?" he asked the guard. He simply shook his head.

Suyin couldn't tell if he was lying or not about this whole planet thing, but there was only one way to find out. She turned towards the guard near the door. "Get Aiwei right now. I can't tell if he's lying or not," she ordered to him. The female nodded and went to leave but was halted again by Suyin. "Hold that thought. Just stay here for the time being." She then turned to Goku. "I'll be back later and you better have some answers." With that out of the way, she opened the door with her bending and closed it behind her.

Goku just gave a blank look as she left. He wondered where his friends and family were. Surely they would have gotten to him by now right?

Extending his senses out as far as he could, he couldn't feel the presence of his wife, Gohan, Piccolo, or Bulma. In fact he sensed something off about this planet's energy. Now that he thought about it, never in his life had he heard of some 'Earth Kingdom' or Zaofu, even if he wasn't that much knowledgeable about his world, he knew many places and how to get around.

Whatever this place was, he hoped that it would allow him to recuperate quickly.


One day later...

"Avatar Korra, it is a pleasure to meet you," Suyin gave a slight bow. The Avatar returned the gesture as well. The matriarch then turned her attention to the people behind Korra.

"And this must be Mako, Bolin, and Asami," she pointed out, much to their surprise.

"Wow, you've done your research," Mako praised. Suyin chuckled a little.

"I make it my business to know who is visiting my city...I'll make sure of that now," she mumbled the last part to herself.

"So you're a dancer?" Korra asked inquisitively.

"I'm a dancer, leader, wife, mother, and collector," she listed with her fingers. "A lot of people here have many skills and interests." After she said that, Aiwei leaned to her ear and whispered something inaudible to Team Avatar. She frowned a bit, looking a little upset with the Avatar.

"Korra, why did you lie when Aiwei asked if there was no one else with you?" she asked, surprising Korra and the others. She tried to explain herself but her face said it all.

"What? I-I didn't-I mean...how did you know I was lying?" Korra sighed, having a guilty look on her face. Aiwei explained that with his abilities of seismic sense, he can detect the most subtle changes in heartbeat, indicating a lie was told. He said that he is a truth seer, and there are no secrets in Zaofu.

"Who did you come with?" Suyin half-asked, half-demanded.

Korra looked away. "We came with Republic City's Chief of Police. For some reason, she didn't want anyone to know she was here," she then made eye contact with Suyin. "I'm sorry I lied to you."

Suyin looked delighted instead of upset now. "Lin's here? I would love to say hello."

Korra was confused by that statement. "Wait you know her?"

Suyin looked confused by that question as well. "You're joking right? I guess she's never told you that I'm her sister," she revealed to them. Korra and the others just looked at her in astonishment, with Bolin whispering "Wow..."


After Suyin had a bitter reunion with her sister Lin at the airship, she offered to give everyone a tour of the city. Getting Lin to go was a bit tough, but she eventually relented and had to be dragged out of the ship by Korra. They saw her two sons Wei and Wang playing a game called power disc, where there were four pillars on the court to help direct the disc in order to get it past the goalkeeper and into the goal. Eventually Wei managed to get it past Wing and bested him.

After that, they went to see her third son, Huan, who was bending metal bars in strange directions. Bolin tried to point out it looked like a banana, but Huan got irritated and explained that it was supposed to represent Harmonic Convergence and the dawn of a new age, but everyone else was unconvinced.

Finally they got to a girl who was sitting on a bench reading a book with a smile on her face. "And this is my daughter, Opal." Suyin introduced. Opal looked up from her book and gasped. She got up to her feet and walked towards them.

"Avatar Korra, it's such an honor to meet you," she bowed a bit.

Korra smiled. "It's great to meet you Opal." But then she saw a strange sight behind her, to the mountains. She grabbed Suyin's attention and pointed towards the site, where a huge crater was on the side of a mountain, making it look vastly different from the others.

"I'm sorry to ask, but how did that crater get there?" she asked her. Suyin followed her line of sight and sighed in annoyance.

"Yes, thank you. I almost forgot about that. I still have to interrogate him," she explained. Korra raised an eyebrow.

"Interrogate who exactly?" she asked. Suyin didn't answer, but turned around to address the others.

"I'm sorry but our tour has to come to an end. Enjoy yourselves here as much as you want." Everyone else just shrugged and started to walk away. She then turned back to Korra. "How would you like to help me with something? That crater over there was caused by a person and we have him detained. I'd like your help if he decides to do something crazy again," she requested.

Korra looked surprised for a second, but then smirked. "Sure, why not? If it's getting info out of bad guys, then I'm all for it," she said as she cracked her knuckles. "Lead the way."

Suyin did as she was told and took her inside to a building. They took a turn into a hallway where there were a lot of elevators, controlled by metalbenders who helped people get to their destination. Korra looked around in awe, still not believing all this was possible. "I don't think I've been here yet."

"That's right. But you are now," she smiled. Towards the end of the hallway was a strange looking elevator. Unlike the others, where they were just simple rectangular ones, this one was shaped like a triangle, guarded by a dozen soldiers. In front of them was the truth seer, Aiwei.

"Are you going to the interrogation?" he asked her. Suyin nodded and turned to the guards.

"Take us down to the detainee," she ordered. They nodded and opened the double layered door. Suyin motioned Korra and Aiwei to follow and entered. It closed relatively fast and were now being sent down underground.

"So when did that happen?" Korra asked, hoping to see what she was going to deal with.

"Well about two weeks ago, everything was going amazing. Somebody came to warn us about some meteor coming to strike our city. Zaofu was in panic for a day, it was nerve wracking to say the least. My three sons and myself tried to divert it from the city, but whether our bending had affected its course at all, it crashed on that mountainside, creating the crater you see today." She looked to see any form of surprise, but was met with a serious face.

"What does the guy have to do with it if it was just a meteor?" she inquired.

"Well, the meteor was not actually a meteor. It was some sort of spherical object, and the man fell out of it. Turns out he was really injured, broken bones, scorched skin. We took him to one of the medical centers where he stayed for about a week, and once he was stabilized, we took him to the underground facilities. He woke up yesterday and it was astonishing to see his fast recovery." Just as she said that, the elevator halted its descent and the doors opened, revealing a dimly lit hallway.

"Let's go." They walked out of the elevator and headed for the secret room. Korra seemed a little creeped out by the place, as it was nothing like the rest of the city. It seemed like it was some sort of a dungeon, but it made sense, since any city was bound to have some prisoners. When they reached it they found Kuvira, Suyin's protegee, guarding it. She smiled at her adoptive mother, which Suyin returned.

"I trust that Goku hasn't done anything while I was gone," the matriarch stated.

Kuvira just shook her head and irritably sighed. "Just see for yourself what that manchild is doing."

Korra raised an eyebrow. "Is that his name?"

Suyin gave an apologetic smile. "Yes. Dear me, I'm sorry. I can't believe I forgot to mention that."

Kuvira then opened the double layered sliding metal door. The people outside started to hear a strained voice, as if he was in physical effort. And they were right.

Right in front of them, was Goku on the floor still covered from head to toe in bandages doing...sit ups. The guards in the room looked visibly tired and worn out, probably to restrain him in naught.

"...298...299...300!" Just then, he looked up and a look that signaled he had been caught. "Uh-oh." Suyin, the guard Kuvira, an old guy, and some teenager glared at him, trying to make him feel intimidated.

"What in the name of spirits are you doing out of bed? And injured as well?" Suyin asked, finally showing a shocked look on her face.

Goku just gave a sheepish smile and scratched his arm. "I got bored on that bed so I decided I would kill time by strength training," he explained as he twisted his arm up and down.

Suyin then looked at her tired guards, who flinched in her gaze. "And my guards? What did you do to them?" she demanded.

Goku chuckled nervously. "I didn't do anything to them. They were trying to get me back to bed by throwing rocks at me," he explained.

Suyin looked to her advisor. "Is he telling the truth?" Aiwei was silent for a moment, but the matriarch received a nod in return.

A guard who was slumped on a chair pitched in. "And he called it a training exercise and had the time of his life too! He wore out all of us real quick, ma'am! I'm sorry for not trying harder," he apologized.

"I'm sure she forgives you," Goku said to appeal to the guard's dilemma.

"Shut up!" he yelled.

"I do forgive you," Suyin reassured to him. Turning back to Goku, she firmly put down her foot. "Let's get down to business. I told you yesterday that there were questions that needed to be answered. For that, you will have to sit upright on the bed with your feet on the ground. If you don't then the Avatar here," she gestured to Korra, "will make you."

Goku blinked. "The what now?"

Korra laughed. "Yeah I know. Big deal, right?"

He blinked again. "What?"

Korra got irritated and clenched her fist. "Are you stupid? You know, the Avatar? The bridge between the material world and the Spirit world!"

He blinked a third time. "Huh? What are talking about?" he asked, oblivious to Korra's frustration.

Suyin put a hand on her shoulder to hold her back and looked to Goku. "Could you just do what I requested?"

"I guess so. Sorry for the trouble," he said as he got up normally, like nothing had happened to him. However he winced as he felt a surging pain on his leg and stumbled onto the bed.

"So...you sure this is the guy? I thought he'd be all dangerous looking and evil...but he's none of those things," Korra was now a little unconvinced he could attempt to destroy a city.

Suyin nodded and frowned a bit. "Yes, I'm positive." Once everyone was settled, Suyin earthbent a slab of rock that became a table and created small pillars for them to sit on, with Korra on the left, Aiwei centered, and Suyin on the right.

"Tell me your full name," Aiwei kicked off the interrogation.

"Son Goku."

"Where are you from?"

"Earth."

"Where on Earth?"

"Mount Paozu."

Aiwei looked really confused now. "Mount Paozu? I've never heard of such a place."

"Maybe because I'm not from this planet," he said casually once again.

Korra was dumbfounded. Not from this planet? This guy definitely had some screws loose in his mind. She waited for Aiwei's response, as well as everyone else.

"You're not lying." It was more a statement than a question. Now Korra was interested in this man or alien so to speak. She only ever heard of aliens a couple times in stories or drawings, but never did she think that they were so...humanlike.

Goku simply shrugged. "I don't have any reason to lie about who I am or where I'm from."

Aiwei hummed in response. "I thought we were the only ones in the universe," he said, now eager to get new information. "Even though you aren't lying, I am still doubtful of your claims. Can you prove that you are extraterrestrial?"

Goku sat there for a bit, wondering how he could convince them. Heck, even he thought he was a human most of his life, save for his tail which was removed. His techniques though...perhaps the Kamehameha? No that could destroy a lot of things here. But maybe just a show of his power would be enough.

He stood up abruptly, startling everyone and they got into a fighting position. "Wait! I'm just showing you a technique that I'm sure no one on this planet knows." They calmed down considerably and relaxed. "But I will need everyone to stay back for this." They did what they were requested and stood at the edge of the room, but still on guard.

Goku closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He focused on the energy in his body, remembering what his otherworldly master taught him. He didn't have much reserves left anyway so he had to dig deep to find it within himself. Once he gained proper control, his eyes snapped open.

"KAIOKEN!"

Korra's eyes widened. "Kaio-what?"

A crimson aura burst forth and encompassed his entire body, letting out a burst of wind. The aura made his entire body look red and underneath his bandages there was a bright red glow. The others closed their eyes in order to shield themselves from the wind, before Korra created a windshield to block them from further irritation. Once Goku stopped powering up, his aura stabilized and took on the appearance of a gentle flame, just in red. The bandages on his head came off, revealing his wild spiky hair that flowed upwards in the direction of the aura.

Everyone was in awe, but not in a way such as fear, but more like curiosity. Goku noticed their confusion and started to explain himself. "This technique is called the Kaioken. It allows me to increase my speed and strength, my senses are heightened, and I get a temporary power boost from it too."

Korra was in awe, never having thought such a feat was possible. Increasing one's strength just by saying a word was almost too good of a chance to pass up. "Um, hey Goku?" His eyes wandered over to her, having forgotten she was even there.

"So what...you just say the word and boom you get a power boost?" she asked. If this was true, then it could be a major asset to fighting Zaheer and his gang when the time comes.

Goku was about to respond, but before he could his aura faded and fell to the ground gasping for air. Everyone in the room looked at him with a slightly concerned expression. Korra tried to go up to him, but he held a hand out.

"Don't *gasp* worry about me. I'm *gasp* just fine," he tried to say, but even he knew that Kaioken took almost everything he had to hold it. He got up, wobbling a bit, and sat back down on the bed. He took a few more gulps of air before he sighed and looked at his audience with a 'I told you so' face.

Aiwei cleared his throat, grabbing everyone's attention. "Well, I guess that settles it. You are...not of this world. But that still raises one obvious question." He paused for a few seconds, just for effect. "Why are you here?"

Goku knew this question would come sooner or later. He knew how he did, but didn't know where to start at all. His trip to Namek? The Ginyu's? Frieza? But before an explanation could come out, a huge rumbling sound was heard.

Korra took a stance as well as the others in the room. "What was that? Are we being attacked?" She looked to Suyin who slammed a foot on the ground, trying to sense vibrations that were out of the ordinary. She shook her head in the negative. But what came next was surprising. Goku was laughing. Laughing so hard that he fell on his back, clutching his sides with his hands.

Korra was irritated again. "What are you laughing about? There could be an attack right now, but all you can do is laugh?"

Goku calmed down and wiped a tear from his eye. "I guess I was hungrier than I thought. That wasn't an attack, that was my stomach!"
