[A Distant Roar]
The Earth trembled.
From the sky, two blinding fireballs tore through the clouds, howling like twin comets of death.
The Z-Fighters stood together on a rocky plateau, staring up grimly as the two Saiyan pods roared toward the surface.
BOOM!!
The impact shook the ground like an earthquake, sending dust and shockwaves blasting outward.
A massive crater formed where the pods had landed, smoke billowing into the sky.
From the swirling smoke, two figures emerged.
Nappa, the bald, hulking brute, muscles rippling under his Saiyan armor.
And beside him, shorter, leaner, with cold, calculating eyes — Vegeta.
The pressure from their ki alone suffocated the air.
Rayuga narrowed his bright blue eyes.
Standing at the front with his arms folded, his white hair flowing slightly in the breeze, he calmly observed the two Saiyans without a hint of fear.
The others — Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo — all gathered behind him, their fists clenched, sweat forming on their brows.
From a distance, Bulma, Chichi, Akiko holding Gohan, Master Roshi, and even Yajirobe watched anxiously from a safe zone.
The battle for Earth's survival had begun.

[Meanwhile… Goku's Return]
At King Yemma's place, Goku stood ready.
After gaining permission, he raced down the Snake Way at unimaginable speed.
"I gotta hurry...!" Goku shouted, his orange gi flapping wildly.
He could sense it — Earth was in chaos!
King Kai's voice echoed in his mind:
"Goku! Don't forget — use Kaioken carefully. And if needed, gather Spirit Bomb energy!"
Goku gritted his teeth, heart pounding.
He wouldn't let his friends — or his family — down!
Back on Earth, the Z-Fighters were pushing themselves past their limits just to survive against Nappa.
And all the while, Rayuga watched silently, his energy calmly sealed — waiting for the right moment to act.
[The Battle Rages On]
The rocky plateau was a warzone.
Nappa charged forward like an unstoppable beast, muscles rippling with raw power.
His energy blasts turned the ground into molten craters, and the Earth shook with every step he took.
The Z-Fighters fought desperately.
Tien unleashed a massive Tri-Beam, burning a deep hole into the earth — but Nappa merely laughed and brushed off the attack with brute force.
Krillin darted around, throwing multiple Destructo Disks, barely nicking Nappa's armor.
Chiaotzu, despite his fear, tried to restrain Nappa with his psychic abilities.
But it wasn't enough.
Nappa's grin widened as he slammed his fist into Tien's arm — shattering it with a sickening crack!
"TIEN!!" Chiaotzu screamed.
Tien gritted his teeth, but stayed standing, refusing to fall.
---
[Desperation]
Seeing Tien injured, Chiaotzu made a choice.
He flew up behind Nappa, clinging to his back.
"I'm sorry, everyone... Goodbye!" Chiaotzu's small voice trembled.
Before anyone could react, Chiaotzu's body glowed brightly.
Self-destruct!
BOOM!!!
The explosion engulfed Nappa completely, shaking the earth and lighting up the battlefield in a blinding flash.
Everyone stared, breathless.
But when the smoke cleared…
Nappa staggered out, scorched and wounded, but still alive.
The Z-Fighters' hearts sank.
"That little worm scratched me...!!" Nappa roared furiously.
Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien regrouped, their faces grim.
They had lost a precious comrade — and it wasn't enough.
---
[Rayuga Steps Forward]
Rayuga, who had been watching silently from the sidelines with folded arms, finally let out a soft sigh.
He walked forward, calmly.
Everyone turned to look.
His white hair fluttered slightly with each step. His blue eyes shimmered with a casual light, unfazed by the chaos around him.
Even Vegeta's expression stiffened slightly, sensing the strange, hidden power Rayuga possessed.
"Bout time you moved…" Piccolo muttered under his breath, exhausted.
Rayuga glanced sideways at Tien and the others, then smirked slightly.
"You guys did well enough," he said, giving a rare compliment.
"Rest now. Leave the rest to me."
Without giving Nappa a chance to react, Rayuga blurred forward at a speed none could follow.
BAM!
With just a casual slap, Rayuga sent Nappa flying backward like a ragdoll, skidding across the rocky ground, his armor cracking!
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Even Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
Just how strong is this man...?
---
[Goku's Arrival]
Suddenly —
The air trembled.
A massive burst of ki exploded in the distance, heading straight for the battlefield.
SWOOSH!!
In an instant, a familiar figure appeared.
Goku, wearing his iconic orange gi, stood tall, his face fierce but calm.
"I'm here, guys!!" he shouted.
Krillin, exhausted but relieved, almost cried. "GOKU!!!"
Akiko clutched Gohan tighter, tears welling up as hope ignited in her heart.
Bulma and Chichi also smiled brightly, their fear slowly fading away.
Rayuga stepped aside with a knowing smirk.
"You're late, buddy," he teased.
Goku grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "Hehe... sorry!"
But when he saw Tien injured and Yamcha unconscious, Goku's expression darkened.
His eyes locked onto Nappa and Vegeta.
"You'll pay for this," Goku said, voice cold.
The Earth itself seemed to react to his declaration.
Rayuga watched silently, his arms folded, sensing the determination burning in Goku's heart.
The real battle was about to begin.

Alright! Here's the next full chapter — the Saiyans' Arrival and the beginning of the battle!
[A Distant Roar]
The Earth trembled.
From the sky, two blinding fireballs tore through the clouds, howling like twin comets of death.
The Z-Fighters stood together on a rocky plateau, staring up grimly as the two Saiyan pods roared toward the surface.
BOOM!!
The impact shook the ground like an earthquake, sending dust and shockwaves blasting outward.
A massive crater formed where the pods had landed, smoke billowing into the sky.
From the swirling smoke, two figures emerged.
Nappa, the bald, hulking brute, muscles rippling under his Saiyan armor.
And beside him, shorter, leaner, with cold, calculating eyes — Vegeta.
The pressure from their ki alone suffocated the air.
Rayuga narrowed his bright blue eyes.
Standing at the front with his arms folded, his white hair flowing slightly in the breeze, he calmly observed the two Saiyans without a hint of fear.
The others — Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo — all gathered behind him, their fists clenched, sweat forming on their brows.
From a distance, Bulma, Chichi, Akiko holding Gohan, Master Roshi, and even Yajirobe watched anxiously from a safe zone.
The battle for Earth's survival had begun.

[The Saiyans Speak]
Nappa cracked his knuckles, grinning like a maniac.
"So these are the little Earthlings Raditz warned us about? They look pathetic!"
Vegeta smirked coldly, his arms folded.
"Don't get careless, Nappa. One of them... seems different."
His sharp eyes locked onto Rayuga, feeling a strange, almost divine ki from him — unlike anything he had sensed before.
Rayuga simply smiled faintly.
Nappa, not caring, stepped forward and roared, "I'll wipe them all out!"
But before the fighting began, Vegeta raised a hand, stopping him.
First, he wanted to have some "fun."
He pulled out a small device, releasing six short humanoid creatures — the Saibamen — hissing and screeching.
"Let's warm up first."
---
[First Clash: Z-Fighters vs Saibamen]
The battle erupted.
Tien blasted a Saibaman apart instantly with a massive Dodon Ray.
Yamcha fought fiercely, dodging strikes and blasting back with a precise Spirit Ball.
Krillin unleashed a barrage of Destructo Disks, slicing two Saibamen into pieces.
Chiaotzu used his psychic powers to freeze one momentarily, allowing Piccolo to destroy it with a fierce energy beam.
The Z-Fighters fought harder than ever before — Rayuga's brutal training was showing results.
But even so, the Saiyans watched with amusement.
Nappa yawned exaggeratedly.
"Is that it? This is boring!"
Just as Yamcha finished off a Saibaman with a heavy punch, another Saibaman leaped onto him, self-destructing!
BOOM!!
Smoke filled the area.
Krillin cried out, "Yamcha!!"
When the dust cleared, Yamcha lay unconscious, badly wounded but — thanks to Rayuga's earlier defensive ki training — still alive.
(Unlike the original timeline, where Yamcha had died!)
Piccolo dragged Yamcha to safety.
Rayuga, watching calmly, didn't move yet. His role would come later.
---
[The Saiyans Step In]
Vegeta waved a hand, crushing the remaining Saibamen with his ki alone.
"Enough wasting time," he said coldly.
"Nappa. Go."
With a gleeful laugh, Nappa stomped forward like a juggernaut.
The real battle was about to begin.
Nappa released a massive energy blast, sending shockwaves across the field.
Tien, Krillin, and Piccolo countered with their strongest attacks, creating a massive explosion that lit up the sky.
But when the smoke cleared... Nappa stood unfazed, grinning wickedly.
The Z-Fighters' expressions hardened.
This was the level of the real Saiyan warriors.
Rayuga still stood silently, observing.

[Meanwhile… Goku's Return]
At King Yemma's place, Goku stood ready.
After gaining permission, he raced down the Snake Way at unimaginable speed.
