Two spacecraft pierced through Earth's atmosphere.

Sparks flew continuously under the intense friction.

The spacecraft drew closer and closer to the ground.

"Look! What's that?"

A middle-aged man cried out in alarm.

"I've never seen anything so strange!"

His friend was equally astonished.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two spacecraft crashed onto Earth one after the other.

The immense impact blasted huge craters into the ground.

For a moment, dust filled the air and smoke spread everywhere.

The spacecraft had landed in a city, immediately drawing a crowd of onlookers.

The spectators watched as one person emerged from each of the two strange "spherical objects."

The two of them looked fairly similar to humans.

For a moment, everyone thought they were Earthlings returning from a space expedition.

But then they noticed something was off.

Strange objects were coiled around the two men's waists.

Looking closely, they realized they were tails!

"Tails? They actually have tails!" someone exclaimed.

"Are they monkeys?"

The crowd was utterly incredulous.

Nappa activated his Scouter and said angrily, "They're all trash with power levels of only 5, yet they dare call us monkeys?"

"We are noble Saiyans!"

"Roar!"

Nappa opened his mouth wide, and a yellow energy blast immediately formed within it.

He spun in a circle, firing it in every direction.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions erupted all around.

The city was instantly reduced to ruins, and every onlooker was killed!

"Hey! Nappa, you've wrecked this place. Earth will be hard to sell for a good price now!"

"But it doesn't matter. Those foolish Earthlings dared insult us noble Saiyans!"

"This is their punishment!"

Vegeta declared arrogantly.

"Let's go! We'll find the Earthlings who defeated Raditz!"

"Yes, Prince Vegeta!"

The two activated their Scouters and began searching for power level distributions across Earth.

The massive energy fluctuation naturally caught Wu Fei and the others' attention.

"They've finally arrived?" Wu Fei muttered.

"Ding! Vegeta and Nappa have arrived on Earth. The main storyline is continuing!"

"Please repel Vegeta. Reward: Unknown!"

At that moment, the system issued a mission.

"Repel him? In other words, I can't kill Vegeta!"

Then I'll go have some fun with Vegeta, Wu Fei thought.

Kame Island.

Krillin, Yamcha, and the others were watching television inside the house.

They were shocked by the powerful energy fluctuation.

This ki is so strong! Krillin thought.

Cold sweat poured down his face, because he realized this ki was far stronger than Raditz's had been a year ago!

And he could sense that the other person's ki was even more powerful!

"The two Saiyans have arrived!"

"Yeah!" Yamcha replied.

"They're incredibly strong!"

"Damn it! Goku still hasn't returned to Earth!"

Krillin was a little worried.

With Goku absent, they were missing a powerful fighting force.

"There's no helping it. We can only stall for time until Goku gets back!" Yamcha said.

"Besides, even without Goku, it doesn't mean we have no chance."

"Have faith in the results of our year of training!" Tien Shinhan said.

"That's all we can do!"

"Let's go! We'll face the Saiyans!"

Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo walked out of Kame House and flew toward the Saiyans.

On a small island in the south, Piccolo was guiding Gohan's training.

"Gohan, do you feel it?"

"Yeah! I can sense two unfamiliar ki signatures, along with Uncle Piccolo and the others' ki!"

Compared to a year ago, Gohan had grown quite a bit taller, and his gaze had become much more resolute.

Clearly, after a year of training, he had gained a great deal.

"That's right. The Saiyans are here!"

Piccolo then changed Gohan into Battle Armor matching his own.

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Uncle Piccolo!"

The two of them used the Flight Technique at the same time and flew into the distance.

"Beep beep beep~"

At that moment, Vegeta and Nappa detected Krillin and the others' ki, realizing that they were heading toward them.

The two decisively chose a wide-open area and waited for everyone to arrive.

"Are you insects really so eager to come here and die?"

Vegeta's face was full of disdain.

The Dragon Ball Z fighters continued closing in on Vegeta.

"Goku! This is bad, the Saiyans have already reached Earth!"

"What?" Son Goku was greatly surprised as he traveled along Snake Way.

"Looks like I'll have to pick up the pace!"

Goku intensified his ki, increasing his traveling speed even further.

Logically speaking, Son Goku should have been able to return before Vegeta arrived on Earth.

King Kai had planned for Goku to return to Earth the day before the Saiyans arrived.

That way, Goku would have enough time to rest and face the Saiyans in better condition.

However, embarrassingly enough, King Kai had forgotten to calculate the time Son Goku would need to cross Snake Way!

It was only yesterday, when Goku finished training and prepared to return to Earth, that King Kai realized it took time for Goku to travel from King Kai's Planet back to the Underworld!

As the lofty King Kai, he had actually made such a basic mistake!

When Son Goku first traveled from the Underworld across Snake Way to King Kai's Planet, it had taken him nearly half a year.

But after training on King Kai's Planet, Goku's strength had increased dramatically.

Now, he only needed two days to cross Snake Way and return to the Underworld.

Yet Goku only had one day left to travel!

Even though Goku rushed with all his might and barely rested, he still failed to return to Earth by the appointed time.

At his current pace, he would need at least another three hours to return to the Underworld.

"Hang on until I get back!"

Goku shouted as he raced onward.

He desperately wanted to test the results of his training.

And there was no better way than fighting!

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Krillin, Yamcha, and the others were the first to arrive at the destination.

Krillin spotted two people standing atop a distant mountain peak.

They wore Battle Armor similar to Raditz's, and both had Scouters on.

Most importantly, each of them had a tail wrapped around their waist!

Krillin was now completely certain—they were Saiyans!

Vegeta activated his Scouter and checked Krillin and the others' power levels.

He found that Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Krillin all had power levels of around 1,000.

Chiaotzu's was only 500!

"Hmph! They're nothing but ants!"

Vegeta looked even more disdainful.

"Tap! Tap!"

Two more people arrived on the scene—it was Gohan and Piccolo!

"Gohan!" Krillin cried excitedly.

"Uncle Krillin, Uncle Yamcha..." Gohan greeted them politely.

"Gohan, you've gotten stronger!"

"No wonder you're Goku's son. You're really talented!"

"Looks like you've had a good year!"

Krillin said with relief.

He now realized that leaving Gohan in Piccolo's care had been the right choice!

Piccolo's expression remained as calm as ever as he coldly stared at the Saiyans across from him.

"Two more ants with power levels of only 1,000!" Nappa mocked.

"A Namekian? Interesting!"

"I never thought I'd run into a Namekian here!"

"I heard Namekians possess all sorts of miraculous abilities. Judging by you, you should be the combat type!"

Vegeta said as he looked at Piccolo's green body.

"What? A Namekian?"

Krillin, Yamcha, and the others were all stunned, Piccolo included.

Piccolo had long realized that he was different from Earthlings, but he knew absolutely nothing about his origins.

"Could I have come from a planet called Namek?" Piccolo muttered.

"But where you came from doesn't matter, because you're about to become a corpse!"

Vegeta's tone was utterly arrogant.

"Damn Saiyans, don't get too full of yourselves!"

Piccolo was now furious beyond measure.

"Tap!"

At the same time, another figure arrived.

"A power level of 3,200. At last, a decent prey has arrived!"

Nappa stared at Wu Fei, his desire to fight blazing.

Since Vegeta and Nappa had already discovered his power level, Wu Fei had no intention of hiding it. He simply showed himself with a power level of 3,200.

He wanted Nappa to have the illusion that this guy's power level really is just a little over 3,000!

Yet only he himself knew just how much his strength had grown!

The tension between the two sides was at its peak, and battle was about to begin!
