Arrival on Earth, Z-Fighters' Reactions (Part 2)

"Saiyans?"

Android 18 frowned, a look of confusion crossing her beautiful yet cold face.

"Aren't all the Saiyans on Earth?"

"Could it be that there are other Saiyans besides Son Goku and Vegeta?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Master Roshi interjected, "Those two weaker auras should be Saiyans."

"If I'm not mistaken, the two powerful individuals behind them are their pursuers."

"Either they stumbled upon Earth by accident, or they might have come specifically looking for Son Goku or Vegeta."

Hearing this, Krillin did not hesitate, saying directly, "Android 18, Master Roshi, you two stay here. I'll go check out the situation."

Android 18 let out a soft cry, "Krillin!"

Clearly, she did not want Krillin to take any risks.

Krillin comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll protect myself."

Android 18 wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Marron, who had followed them out.

"Daddy, are you going to fight the bad guys?"

The three of them looked down to see Marron's young face filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Haha," Krillin smiled gently, "That's right, Daddy is going to fight the bad guys. Marron, stay home with Mommy and be a good girl, okay?"

Marron nodded her little head several times and replied happily, "Mm-hmm!"

"Marron will be very good!"

Krillin reached out to pat her little head, praising, "What a good girl!"

"Daddy's leaving now!"

"Mm-hmm! Good luck, Daddy!"

"Haha, thanks!"

With that, Krillin didn't linger. He waved to Android 18 and the others before erupting his ki and taking flight.

Faintly, he could still hear Marron's exclamation and Android 18's instructions—

"Wow—"

"Daddy is flying..."

"Kril—lin—"

"Make sure you stay safe—"

A similar scene was playing out in three other locations.

At the place where Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were undergoing their rigorous training.

On a round rock beneath a waterfall, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu had been meditating.

But the next second, they opened their eyes at the same time and looked up at the sky in unison.

"Such powerful ki!"

"Tien Shinhan, who could it be?"

At this moment, Chiaotzu, with his signature look, had a face full of gravity and confusion.

"Yeah, it's quite strong," Tien Shinhan nodded, "but the aura of two of them... they seem a bit like Saiyans."

"Let's go, Chiaotzu, we'll go take a look!"

"Krillin and the others have already set off!"

"Alright, Tien Shinhan."

At Son Gohan's home.

Son Gohan, who happened to be resting at home today, had finished lunch with Videl less than ten minutes ago.

Videl watched as Son Gohan suddenly looked up, the happy smile that had been on her face instantly fading.

In all the time they had been married, this was the first time she had seen such a stern expression on Son Gohan's face.

She knew that she had only seen this look during the Majin Buu era.

Consequently, her heart suddenly tightened.

"Gohan, what's wrong?"

Hearing her call, a smile appeared on Son Gohan's serious face, but instead of answering the question, he said softly, "Videl, I need to go out for a bit. Can you stay here at home?"

Hearing this, even though Videl's heart gave a sudden jolt, she still managed a smile, her eyes filled with worry as she replied, "Okay, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Hearing this, Son Gohan gave his assurance: "Don't worry, the people who arrived this time aren't strong."

"It's just that there are two auras that feel very much like Saiyans, so I'm going over to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Videl breathed a sigh of relief, though she still urged him: "You should still be careful."

"I will." Son Gohan nodded heavily. "I'll be back before you know it."

Only after seeing her give a slight nod did he take flight and depart.

Videl stood by the window, watching Son Gohan's receding figure, and whispered to herself: "I hope nothing happens..."

Meanwhile.

At Piccolo's place of meditation.

The four auras that had intruded upon Earth so abruptly disturbed Piccolo from his meditative training.

With his current level of strength, these four auras were making no attempt to conceal themselves; it would have been difficult not to notice them.

"Enemies have come to Earth?"

As he spoke, he carefully sensed the four auras and felt a flicker of confusion.

"That's not right. How could there be two Saiyan auras?"

"Hmm?"

"Son Gohan, Vegeta, and Krillin are all heading in that direction."

"It seems they have noticed as well."

"I suppose I'll go join the fray; come to think of it, it's been a while since I've seen Son Gohan."

Above the Earth.

Two spherical spaceships were the first to breach the atmosphere, carving a parabolic arc across the sky while crackling with sparks as they plummeted toward the ground.

The two individuals inside the ships were Tarble and Rix, who had been traveling through space for over two years.

They had already awakened before their ships broke through the atmosphere.

Looking through the windows at the white and gray clouds rushing past, Tarble couldn't help but feel a sense of awe:

The Earth of the Dragon Ball world...

Son Goku...

I finally have the chance to see them with my own eyes!

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Rix's voice came through the scouter, filled with surprise.

"Lord Tarble, I've detected several high power level readings on Earth. The highest is 10,000—that must be Lord Vegeta, right?"

"And they seem to be converging toward our landing site. Could it be... that they've discovered us?"

Hearing this question, Tarble replied casually: "Who knows? We'll find out soon enough."

In truth, over the past year, he had already gained the ability to freely control his own ki.

Whether it was suppressing his combat power or sensing the ki of others, he had become quite proficient.

For the moment, Rix was the only one still kept in the dark.

And now, by releasing his ki without reservation, he was naturally trying to maintain the facade of someone who didn't yet know how to suppress or sense ki.

Otherwise, it might arouse the suspicions of Vegeta and the others.

After all, when Vegeta and his companions invaded Earth years ago, they hadn't known how to sense or suppress ki either.

However.

Just as Tarble finished speaking, a strange and murderous voice suddenly blared through the scouter.

"Hahaha!"

"Tarble, is it?"

"Thanks for helping me find the other Saiyans. My brother and I will be sure to send you both to hell to meet Lord Frieza in a moment!"

"By then, no one in the universe will be able to stop us from becoming the emperors of the universe!"

"Hahaha!"

Taken aback by these sudden, arrogant words, both Tarble and Rix were startled.

Fortunately, neither of them cried out.

Otherwise, they might have been left with ringing ears.

However, Tarble quickly realized that the person speaking was likely the superior of the Frieza soldiers that his original self and Rix had encountered three years ago—the red and blue duo from the original work.

He had forgotten their specific names.

He only remembered that one had red skin, the other had blue skin, and their signature move was the ability to fuse into a single monstrous form.

At the same time, he felt a bit speechless.

If you want to be the emperor of the universe, go right ahead!

Why are you always obsessed with causing trouble for the Saiyans?

That is simply courting death!

He remembered that in the movie, these two guys had also hunted Tarble down, chasing him all the way to Earth before being killed in retaliation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but retort: "If you want to be the emperor of the universe, then go be it. Why come and provoke us Saiyans?"

"Are you just bored out of your minds?"

The moment his voice fell.

A cold snort immediately came through the scouter: "Hmph, as long as you Saiyans aren't wiped out, how can we be at ease as emperors of the universe?"

"Just sit tight and wait for death!"
