20 Years Ago
Twenty years ago, when Frieza and his father descended upon Earth, Son Gohan was just a young child with limited strength, so he didn't join the final battle. However, the tragedy that occurred on Earth at that time left a lasting impression on him. For three whole hours, all the ordinary people on Earth were killed.
If Goku hadn't arrived in time to kill Frieza and his father, and then used the Dragon Ball to revive everyone, the Android wouldn't have had a chance to wreak havoc on Earth.
"Gohan, this is a special medicine for heart disease. You must give it to Goku yourself!" Chi-Chi handed a small bottle of medicine to Son Gohan.
Son Gohan carefully put it away, then patted his pocket. "I'll give the special medicine to Dad."
At this moment, Bulma climbed out of the Time Machine. "The Time Machine's return program has been set up. When the time comes, you just need to press the start button and it will run automatically. However, due to the limited energy reserves, one charge is only enough for one round trip. It will take three years to replenish the energy next time. Don't make a mistake."
"Um."
Son Gohan nodded vigorously, preparing to board the Time Machine.
Roland stepped forward and said, "This time, I'll go back 20 years with Son Gohan."
Everyone turned their attention to Roland, Lazuli asked curiously, "What are you going to do in another world?"
"There's nothing wrong with staying here. I want to try and see if I can find a way back using the Dragon Ball," Roland replied.
This was a decision he had made after careful consideration. At this stage, it was undoubtedly difficult for him to return to his own world. Although asking the Shenron for a way back might not be a reliable approach, he did not want to give up easily as long as there was a glimmer of hope. If he just sat there waiting to die on Earth, he didn't know when he would be able to go back.
Everyone understood Roland's eagerness to go home, and their faces showed expressions of understanding.
Bulma nodded and said, "The space inside the Time Machine is quite spacious; two people should be able to squeeze in."
"If Mr. Roland goes back with me, I'll feel much more at ease back on Earth," Chi-Chi said with a smile.
Given Son Gohan's current strength, dealing with characters like Frieza and his father would be more than enough. But who would complain about having more powerful allies? After all, the great war twenty years ago caused immense damage to Earth. With Roland the team, Earth's safety would undoubtedly be more assured.
"Mr. Roland, come up with me!" Son Gohan entered the Roland Time Machine.
"Okay." Nodding, Roland entered the Time Machine.
"Have a safe journey, and be sure to save the world!"
"Gohan, we look forward to your resurrection and return."
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Son Gohan sat in his chair and pressed the button on the Time Machine. The entire ellipsoidal Time Machine began to slowly rise into the air. When it reached a position ten meters above the ground, the Time Machine flashed with a cluster of white light, and then with a whoosh, it disappeared into the sky.
Twenty years ago.
On this day, Frieza and King Cold's armies were advancing towards the Solar System.
Inside the spaceship, Frieza, covered in patches, stood coldly before King Cold. King Cold sat in his chair, his chin resting on his hand, his tall figure exuding an intimidating aura. Frieza seemed like a child in front of his father.
"Dad, that's Earth. It seems we arrived on Earth a while earlier than that Super Saiyan."
"It's just a small planet, easily destroyed." King Cold exuded an aura of dominance. If it weren't for Frieza's defeat on Planet Namek, he would never have returned to action, having long since retired.
"That's not satisfying at all. I'll kill his family and friends one by one in front of him," Frieza said bitterly.
"Hehe, whatever."
King Cold chuckled casually. It was just a planet of little value; he had no interest in it. However, he was somewhat wary of the Super Saiyan had defeated his son. Although Frieza's defeat was mostly due to his carelessness, the strength of Super Saiyan should not be underestimated.
"Hehe, Dad, just enjoy the show. This time, I'm going to teach that Super Saiyan a lesson: my power has become even stronger."
Frieza's face was grim, his eyes filled with hatred.
As the giant disc-shaped spaceship slowly approached Earth, a cold, dark, and bloody aura began to assault the planet. The Kami's Lookout that guarded Earth was the first to be affected. At this moment, the Old Kami and Mr. Popo in the Kami's Lookout sensed the cold and dark aura, and their faces suddenly showed horror.
The aura was like icy water flowing from the abyss, sending chills down one's spine.
"Not good!"
The Old Kami shouted, feeling a chill envelop him.
Meanwhile, soldiers all over the world also sensed the presence of outer space.
Ring ring ring, the phone on Mount Paozu rang, and young Son Gohan answered it. Krillin's voice rang in his ears. "Gohan, you felt it, didn't you?"
"Yes, I can sense it. A very malevolent aura is approaching Earth."
"You should be able to tell if it's Frieza or something?" Krillin asked with a serious expression.
"It's him!"
Young Son Gohan affirmed.
"Damn it, wasn't Frieza already killed by Goku?" Krillin's face was extremely grim.
He had a natural fear of Frieza, probably because he had been killed by him. However, Frieza was now close to Earth, and even though he knew that they couldn't stop him, he had to bravely stand up. So Krillin changed into his martial arts uniform, took a deep breath, and flew towards where Frieza's spaceship was about to land.
In addition, Son Gohan and found the Battle Suit he wore on Planet Namek, then ignored Chi-Chi's attempts to stop him and rushed into the sky.
"Damn it, that's Frieza's aura! How come Kakarot didn't kill him?"
Vegeta walked down the street, his face grim as he looked up. "It seems there's more than one. There's also a powerful aura beside Frieza. Who could it be?"
With a furious roar, Vegeta, who was not one to back down, decided to fight back even if it meant death. Ignoring the astonished looks of the people on the street, Vegeta transformed into a streak of light and flew straight into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At almost the same time, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Yunzabit Heights Piccolo on other parts of Earth all sprang into action, flying towards the location where Frieza's spaceship had landed.
Region 573 on Earth is a rather desolate place.
A fierce wind howled, and a dark shadow streaked across the sky without warning, followed by the sound of air being pierced. A gigantic behemoth suddenly plummeted from the sky.
This is a disc-shaped spaceship with a diameter of 100 meters. It is brown all over. After the spaceship landed, 24 thick steel pincers extended from inside the spaceship and sank deeply into the rock. The entire ground suddenly sank and cracked open with crisscrossing fissures.
