Everyone sensed a strong Ki appear on the Lookout, the group flew to the Lookout to have a look.
Goku was talking to Kami, Nam stood nearby as he had become apprenticed to Kami. But he and Kami was clearly much weaker than anyone in the group.
"Goku! Wow! You sure got stronger!" Krillin praised.
"Does your return mean the Saiyans are arriving soon?" Piccolo asked.
"Yes, King Kai said in a few hours at most." Goku nodded. He was a lot stronger than in the story and had quickly flew past the Snake Way.
"Everyone has gotten stronger, right?" Goku smiled as he inspected the group, he could sense the confidence emanate from their bodies.
"Hehehe." Krillin smiled smugly.
"You'll see just how strong we've gotten during the battle." Piccolo smirked. He was confident in his own strength.
The group continued chatting as they talked about their one year training.
"They've come!" The group sensed two strong Ki quickly approach Earth.
The group hurriedly flew to a nearby wasteland which they decided on to be the battleground. Kalan took a detour alone to a nearby town to restock his food, he didn't really care about the battle as he believed the group was strong enough to beat Vegeta.
...
*Boom* *Boom* Two spacepods landed in East City, 2 large craters formed on the highway.
*Pssh Pssh* Vegeta and Napped stepped out from their spacepods.
"Eeek!" The nearby humans cried out in panic.
"Hehehe. Vegeta, shall I squish these noisy flies first?" Nappa smiled wickedly.
"Do whatever you want. I'm more interested in Earth's secret." Vegeta pressed the button in his scouter.
*Bibibibip* The scouter scanned for battle power, many readings appeared on the screen.
"What!?" Vegeta was shocked by the numbers he saw.
"What's wrong, Vegeta?" Nappa was surprised by the shocked Vegeta.
"Nappa, check your scouter." Vegeta said.
"Alright." Nappa nodded and pressed the button on his scouter.
*Bibibip* His scouter also scanned for battle powers.
"What!? How can these earthlings' battle power be so high?! There are several readings over 5,000 battle power! Raditz' scouter had only found the highest battle power to be Kalan's, the rest were all under 1,000!" Nappa was shocked. He saw 8 readings with a battle power over 5,000.
"We'll find out once we meet them. Remember, they can control their Ki. The numbers might not be their highest battle power." Vegeta said solemnly as he took flight toward the group of 8 with the highest battle power. Technically they had no grudge with the earthlings, there should be 4 Saiyans with Gohan included, the other 4 with high battle power was a mystery to the two of them.
"What about these trash?" Nappa asked as he looked at the panicking humans.
"Let them be for now, the other 4 should be earthlings." Vegeta said and flew ahead of Nappa.
After flying for awhile, they landed in the wasteland and saw a group of 8 waiting for them.
"It seems you already knew of our arrival. As expected, you earthlings can sense Ki." Vegeta said.
"Vegeta, are you here to bring us back?" Raditz asked timidly.
"Of course, how could we leave you stranded here with your scouter broken." Vegeta said.
"We..." Raditz said hesitant. They had trained for a year, but never measured their battle power. As such, Raditz had no idea how high his group's battle power was. He could only vaguely sense Ki, and couldn't compare the two group's strength.
"We won't follow you guys back!" Goku completed Raditz' sentence.
"You should be Kakarot, no?" Vegeta smiled. He was in no hurry as he was interested in their secrets.
"That's right, but my name is now Goku. Son Goku!" Goku nodded.
"Don't worry, we aren't that unreasonable. If you want to stay, that's fine." Vegeta said.
"Ah? You aren't here to fight us?" Krillin was surprised.
"Of course not, since my people wants to stay here, how can I make it hard for them, am I right?" Vegeta smiled.
"Raditz, where is Kalan? I only see three Saiyans, with Kakarot's son included." Vegeta asked.
"I'm not sure, he said he'll be back later." Raditz said helplessly.
"Raditz, what's your and Kalan's intentions?" Vegeta asked.
"I... I'm staying. Kalan is the same." Raditz said hesitantly. He didn't know whether Kalan or Vegeta was stronger. He had thought Vegeta was the stronger one, but after seeing the progress the group made, how could Kalan himself be weak? Especially seeing Gohan's 117 battle power increase to a level beyond his old self in just a year. Thus he decided it was best to stay with the group, worst in worst, he would put his hopes on the dragon balls to revive him.
"Raditz! You ungrateful bastard!" Nappa yelled angrily, he took a step forward.
"Nappa!" Vegeta yelled.
Nappa jerked and stopped moving, he was clearly afraid of Vegeta.
"Raditz, considering what we have experienced together, I won't make it hard for you. Nappa and I will stay here for a few days, if you regret your decision and decide to return, you can contact me." Vegeta threw a spare scouter to Raditz.
Vegeta took flight and flew to a deserted area with Nappa in tow.
"Vegeta, are we just going to let these traitors be?!" Nappa was a hot-blooded warrior, if not for Vegeta's interference, he would most likely have personally stepped up and killed Raditz and Goku.
"Nappa, don't be in such a hurry. I'm sure Raditz will contact us soon. We just need to wait awhile before we find out their secret. We can always get rid of them afterwards. Did you not notice Raditz' battle power had risen after coming here?" Vegeta smirked. He believed Raditz knew the secret and that was why he was willing to stay here.
"Now that you say so, everyone there had a battle power over 5,000. Raditz only had a battle power of 3,100 before coming to Earth. How did he raise his battle power to over 5,000 so fast!?" Nappa was shocked. They had taken many years to raise their battle power by a small amount.
"But remember Kakarot's kid, he had originally only a battle power of 117 a year ago. Now it's already 5,000! I believe this have something to do with Earth's martial arts." Vegeta explained.
"That's true!! How could that little brat's battle power increase so much in just a year?!" Nappa was shocked. Gohan's increase in strength was too heaven-defying.
"Also, don't underestimate Kalan's strength. Let's enhance our powers first before we kill these traitors."Vegeta didn't immediately attack as he wasn't sure what their secret is as of yet. And he knew the earthlings could manipulate their Ki. Because he saw how much these earthlings' strengths had increased in a single year, he wasn't sure how strong Kalan had become. If possible he wanted to enhance his strength first, before battle.
Don't ask, earthlings have a habit of suppressing their Ki
