As Frieza's attack destroyed Planet Vegeta, the Dragon Balls transported the living Saiyans on Chaya's list to Red Mountain Star. Chaya, Bardock, and Myers were swept into a spatial rift, while thousands of Saiyans arrived safely on Red Mountain Star, unsure where they were.

After Bardock recovered from the Kanassan Curse, Chaya told him that Gine and other Saiyans had been evacuated to Red Mountain Star and brought him and Myers to the Saiyans on the Barren Planet.

• Gine accepted Bardock’s decision, suggested Chaya might help with his painful curse, and worried about Raditz, while Bardock joked about having another child.

Chaya trained the Special Combat Team in combat fundamentals before guiding them toward cultivating Ki, while he and Selyne settled into a new villa near Adri’s home. After several months, the team learned to sense opponents with Ki, and Chaya let them continue cultivating on their own.

• Chaya strictly trained the Special Combat Team in basic movements and combat instincts, correcting their mistakes with a whip.
• Chaya and Selyne moved into a new villa, while Myers moved into Adri’s home.

• Two months later, Shakuda, Myers, and the other Special Combat Team members completed foundational training and began learning Chaya’s approach to Ki.
• After another three months, the young Saiyans learned to sense opponents with Ki, so Chaya let them cultivate independently.

Chaya prepared the Saiyan trainees for further training and discussed Bardock’s Kanassan Curse before deciding to seek a treatment on Planet Yardrat. The next morning, Chaya departed Red Mountain Star with Selyne, Myers, and Bardock.

• Chaya entrusted Red Mountain Star’s affairs to Adri and used Instant Transmission to leave for Planet Yardrat with Selyne, Myers, and Bardock.

Chaya and his companions rested on a remote planet after traveling through space, but their meal was interrupted by three powerful aliens landing nearby. The newcomers were Salza, Neiz, and Dore of Cooler's Armored Squadron, searching for the Tree of Might Fruit.

• Chaya brought Selyne, Myers, and Bardock to an emerald-green planet and sent Bardock and Myers to hunt while he gathered small game.

Chaya and Selyne confronted Cooler's Armored Squadron, and Chaya killed Dore after using Time-Space Freeze to land a decisive attack. Neiz was left frozen in disbelief as the battle continued.

• Dore’s Scouter detected an unusually high power reading and exploded, prompting him to wait for the powerful native to arrive.
• Chaya and Selyne appeared before Salza, Neiz, and Dore, and Chaya declared that he would destroy the Armored Squadron.

After defeating Cooler’s Armored Squadron, Chaya reflected on the risks of relying too heavily on his abilities while Selyne’s battle power rose to 140,000. Chaya and his companions reached Planet Yardrat and were invited inside by the planet’s strongest Yardratian.

• Chaya fed Selyne a Senzu Bean, and her injuries healed as her battle power surged to 140,000 after her first life-or-death fight.
• Chaya decided to rely less on his abilities and treat them as a trump card rather than a primary means of fighting.
• Chaya told Bardock and Myers that he had defeated Cooler’s Armored Squadron, shocking Bardock and impressing Myers.
• Chaya, Selyne, Bardock, and Myers arrived on Planet Yardrat and flew toward the strongest Ki to learn the Yardratians’ secret techniques.
• The strongest Yardratian invited Chaya and his companions into his home, and Chaya led the way inside.

Chaya, Selyne, and Myers found Planet Yardrat’s secret techniques encoded in underground reliefs and began studying Instant Transmission. Chaya compared the technique with his own spatial ability as the group settled in for lengthy training.

• Chaya explained that the reliefs contained Yardratian techniques and warned Selyne, Myers, and Bardock that studying them could severely shock the mind.
• Bardock searched for the True Spirit Technique, while Chaya and the others looked through the reliefs for Instant Transmission.
• Selyne found the Instant Transmission carving, and Chaya discovered that its method twisted space through Ki rather than opening spatial wormholes with energy.
• Selyne committed to learning Instant Transmission, and Chaya began studying it while comparing it with his own ability.
• Myers gave up searching for another technique and joined Chaya and Selyne in learning Instant Transmission, and the group continued their study with Senzu Beans sustaining them.
