Dark clouds sailed over the sky. Smoke rose from the ground as the scorching flames spread across the city. Tall buildings crumbled as the wind passed by. Lifeless bodies were scattered over the streets or trapped under the rubble. As the wind traveled through the empty, ruined city, a scream reached the sky.

A lone survivor ran from something. The man's arms were covered in bruises. Sweat flew off his pale face as he tried to run away. As he flailed with his arms, a golden watch dropped on the ground. The fat-looking man didn't care about it at all, the only thing on his mind was to escape. He looked around and suddenly stopped, but only for a second.

The man ran toward an open car. A faint smile, beaming with hope appeared on his wrinkled face. He jumped into the seat and tried to start the engine. Once he managed to turn the car on, he couldn't but laugh. He was about to drive out of this wrecked city when something caught his attention.

He stared at the flames for a couple of seconds. Slowly, his eyes began to widen as he saw a shadow. His hands shook. He was only able to watch as the dark figure emerged from the flames like it was nothing. Fueled by fear, the man yelled and hit the pedal.

The car was going at full speed toward the wild-haired man. Inside the car, the old man tried his best to control it, but since he hasn't driven a car in ages, he had some trouble. He wanted to turn the car around, however, he lost control of it. Instead of driving away, he was going straight for the monster. Scared, he closed his eyes and lowered the head as the car was about to hit the stranger.

A loud bang echoed over the place. The wheels were still going at it, however, the car didn't budge from the spot. Realizing the car wasn't moving forward, the old man lifted his head. His mouth was wide open as he stared into the dark cold eyes. He couldn't. The man simply watched the figure in front of him rip out the engine and throw it away.

Suddenly, the black-haired man started to move. His brown pupils followed the monster who approached the driver's door. Drenched in sweat, he could only stare at the beast's diabolic grin. Before he could blink, he felt fingers curl around his throat. Without any further notice, he was sent flying out of the car. He fell with his head on the ground.

"Uh, n-no..."

Blood and sweat combined and dripped from the man's chin. The poor man tried to crawl away, but he had no chance of escaping. A heavy boot pinned him against the ground. It was hard to breathe. Tears created a puddle on the ground while he wet his pants. His entire body quivered as the pressure increased. He could feel every bone in his body slowly break. It was painful, but the pressure suddenly disappeared.

The man blinked in confusion. He wondered what happened. After a couple of seconds, he summoned enough courage to look behind. A mistake. In a flash, his body was struck with a heavy kick. The blow broke everything in his body. Blood gushed out of his mouth as he was sent flying. The poor man fell right into the scorching flames that instantly swallowed him.

"Humph, pathetic."

The wild-haired man spat on the ground as he turned around. "This is so boring! I've had enough! If something interesting doesn't happen soon, I'll go insane!" His brown tail swayed wildly behind the back.

He smashed his solid fist against a house and made it crumble. His young face twisted into a scowl as he continued to walk. The tightly closed hands shook out of anger. He didn't know what else to do. Every interesting earthling was gone. He began to regret killing all skilled fighters. His black hair moved on the strong wind as he mumbled some words.

The young man abruptly halted. A loud growl escaped his stomach. "Tch, I forgot I hadn't eaten anything since this morning..." He closed his eyes and began floating in the air. Before the rain started to pour down on the destroyed city, the wild-haired man flew away.

..

Through cold and lonely space, a strange object flew by the sun. Engulfed by radiant light, the thing suddenly changed its trajectory. It swirled around and continued on its path toward the blue planet.

As it approached the planet, a robotic voice woke up the person inside. "Alert! Reaching destination in three minutes!" The voice repeated the same line two more times.

His tail shifted around the waist as he stared at the blue gem through a small window. "Humph, finally. You better be alive, Kakarot." The man's voice was silenced by the noises from outside.

The object was surrounded by flames as it entered the planet's atmosphere. A loud noise echoed over the blue sky as the round thing broke the sound barrier. The object was falling with high-speed toward the ground. On its way, it destroyed a mountain and several trees. The thing didn't stop until it struck the solid ground, creating a big crater.

..

The wild-haired man carried a dead boar over his naked back. He moved through tall and thick grass as he walked back to his camp. It took him only a couple of minutes to reach it. He dropped his food near the fire and crouched. With his bare hands, he removed the skin and eventually pierced the animal with a large stick. The young man adjusted it properly above the fire and moved away.

While his meal was getting cooked, he collected the apple from the ground and ate it. He sat on a broken tree and took another bite. While he was chewing, he couldn't but think about things. He wondered what was he going to do. Perhaps he should have thought about that sooner, but at that time he was so determined to kill them that he lost himself. Now, he was bored. He was the strongest warrior on this planet and yet, what good was it when he couldn't use all his strength.

Disappointed with the situation, the warrior released a sigh and threw the apple away. "Damn it! What am I going to do?" He moved his hand to the right and seized the stick.

The young man tore a leg from the roasted boar and started to chew it. He ate slowly. There was no rush. He killed all who opposed him. Those who sought revenge were dealt with as well. Only the weak people remained on this planet. He hoped there was maybe some hidden fighter. Maybe a martial artist from previous tournaments who hid and trained. Unfortunately, that was only him hoping for some entertainment.

He continued to eat his food in silence. The soft breeze caressed his black hair as he tried to forget about things. Some animals gathered around him, almost as if knowing something was troubling the man. He paid them no mind. However, something weird happened.

The animals suddenly scattered away. He immediately stopped eating. As the meat fell on the soft grass, the young man rose from his spot. Drops of sweat began to slide down his jaw line as he glanced at the blue sky. He swallowed the meat in his mouth and narrowed the eyes.

He stared at a particular spot when his eyes started to widen. "There it is!" The young man took a step back. A feeling of excitement rose from within. "Whoever that is, it's got powerful energy!" He could feel the stranger's ki as it closed the distance.

The young man curled his hands into solid fists. At least, there was a person worthy of a fight after all. Just when he was losing all hope, this stranger came to the rescue. A big smirk appeared on his face as he observed the man descend.

As his boot touched the ground, the man crossed his arms and just stared. "It's been so long and yet I can easily recognize you. You look just like him, your father." His long, black hair swayed on the wind as he spoke.

Confused, the young raised an eyebrow. "Father? What are you talking about? Who are you!?" This wasn't normal. The way this man carried itself and spoke, made his heart beat faster.

The long-haired man released a chuckle. "Well, I guess you wouldn't know since you were shipped off-planet straight from the incubator." He closed his eyes for a moment and continued to speak.

"Allow me to introduce myself, Kakarot." As he said that, he uncoiled the tail from his waist, surprising the younger male. "My name is Raditz, a Saiyan warrior just like yourself and, your older brother." He almost burst out laughing when his brother stumbled back.

The young Kakarot couldn't believe what he just heard. "B-Brother!?" He stammered out of shock.

After the shock passed away, Kakarot yelled at the man. "Why should I believe you!? Except for the tail, how can I be sure you're my brother!" He swung his hand in front and glared. For some reason, he was angry at this man

Raditz remained calm and slowly approached. "And what would I gain from lying to you? Make you lower your guard? Hah, as if I need deception to beat you, little brother." He was only a step or two away from his brother.

Despite the difference in their height, Kakarot got into his face. "Bastard! You better watch out or I'll make that ugly face look even worse!" A throbbing vein appeared on his forehead as he growled back.

The taller Saiyan was amused by his brother's back talk. "Hum, any other time I'd gladly take your challenge, however, I'm on a tight schedule." As he spoke, Raditz turned away and walked elsewhere.

"Huh? What do you mean? Better yet, what do you even want from me!?" He was getting irritated by all this talk.

Raditz picked up the meat from the ground and started to eat it, surprising his brother who caught that for himself. "Kakarot, I came here in hopes to recruit you to our ranks." The tall Saiyan was so captivated by the food that he sat down.

"You see, our home planet Vegeta was destroyed by a meteor shower years ago. As you can imagine, only a selected few of us who were off-planet at the time survived."

As he spoke between the bites, Kakarot carefully listened to the story. "Kakarot, you were lucky you were sent to this mud ball. Only a couple of days later and you'd be dead along with our planet." Raditz threw away the bone and cleaned his mouth.

While his brother was observing an apple, Kakarot was barely able to keep up. "Wait for a second! If I was sent off from our planet only a couple of days before it exploded, how did you know I was here, and alive?" He was curious to know and ready to beat him up for letting him rot here for years on his own.

The long-haired Saiyan was quite satisfied with the meal. It was his first food after almost a year. "Hah, you should be thanking our mother for that. She left me a message on the scouter. Telling me you've been sent to Earth." Raditz rose from the stone and tossed the half-eaten apple away.

"Mother..." Kakarot mumbled the word as he looked down.

The older warrior lifted an eyebrow, wondering what made Kakarot silent. "Anyway, as time passed I forgot about you." As soon as he said that, his brother lifted the head and angrily glared at him

"Well, until recently. The last mission proved to be quite challenging, so it made me think about you." The warrior approached the nearest tree and leaned against it.

"Kakarot, there's only four Saiyans in this wretched universe including the two of us. What do you say about joining us and wreaking havoc and fighting worthy opponents?

Upon hearing that, his ears twitched. This was just what he was looking for. His dark orbs shined with desire to fight strong people. A big grin appeared on his face as he thought about that.

Raditz couldn't but smirk. He was able to see the fire in his brother's eyes. "Heh, you came just at the right time. I thought I'd go crazy with boredom. I'm in!" The long-haired warrior was pleased to hear that.

"Hm, good answer." All was going very well. At first, he thought his younger brother was dead, but thankfully that didn't happen. "Do you know where your pod is?" The confused look on Kakarot's face told him everything.

He released a chuckle as he moved away from the tree. "You'll see what I mean. Follow me!" Without further notice, Raditz blasted into the sky.

Kakarot didn't waste his time and followed the older warrior. He flew slightly behind Raditz and couldn't but get excited. This was just what he wished for. Go out there, explore the unknown and test his strength. He knew there was something from him and finally, he got it.

..

Meanwhile, far away from planet Earth. Black smoke soared high in the green sky. Lifeless bodies were scattered over the ground while two men sat near the fire. While the short one was eating something, the larger male was listening to the conversation through his scouter.

"Hey, Vegeta. It looks Raditz was able to find and get Kakarot to join us." He turned his gaze toward the flame-haired warrior who paid no attention and continued to eat.

The bald warrior was used to it, so he continued. "They'll be going to planet Freeza 79, right? Are we going there too?" As he posed the question, the shorter Saiyan threw away the half-eaten arm and rose from the stone.

"Of course we're going. I want to see if he's of any use to me." The younger-looking warrior was already heading back to their pods.

The other man followed behind and released a chuckle. "Well, I wouldn't bet on that. He's Raditz's brother after all." He stroked his mustache as they approached the space pods.

That was exactly why he wanted to test the man's strength and will. "Humph, we'll see. Let's go." As he sat inside the pod, the flame-haired warrior thought about it.

Despite them being from a low-class of warriors, he might have some other use from them. As the metal hatch closed, Vegeta crossed his arms and calmly waited for the pod to start levitating. He closed his eyes and thought about his plans as they left the world behind them in complete ruin.
