{Kami-House; 11:31 a.m}
"WOW! You got super strong Raditz!"- Goku being the first to break the silence that was around them, as he brings his arm back, while his brother looks at his own with a huge smile.
Krillin walks by them, and looks at the Saiyan, absolutely taken back that in just one second he surpassed the human, walking circles around the long haired brother.
"That's impressive, your power is way greater than our own, for now *turns to Yamcha*, we've got to spice up our training now too, or these aliens will left us on the dust!"
The one in question was just sweating, someone got so powerful in such a small amount of time was crazy! Mumei said she was going to 'help' him, but they never knew how.
And now looking at their difference in power, they're in different leagues, their only chance would be a fully powered attack, and that would still not be a for sure effective strategy, since he could just dodge with how fast he should be now...
Finally getting out of his trance, Raditz looked around, and his eyes landed on his brother.-" Kakarot, let's test this out! A brotherly sparing match! Like true Saiyans!"
He rose his arm in a prideful manner for his brother to shake, not seeing the bad in a match after a nap, Goku just shakes his brother hand.-"Sure, let's test this power of yours, it seems you got a huge boost!"
Both smiling excited, start walking to the exit.
The others just looked at them, taken back by how casual they were, Gohan got up almost falling from how fast he stood up and started running behind them to watch the fight.
Sighing loudly, Piccolo steps down to the ground from his meditation, and turns his head to the humans.-" Be careful, it's better to warn it before you guys get exploded by a random fired Ki blast or something, would have to deal with a family of crazy people on my ass later...*walks away*""
Using the door that was left open, he too goes outside to watch, leaving the humans to contemplate, do they want to as well?
For them, it would be a huge risk, but they are on the same side, and is their friend that is fighting...
"So what you guy's think?"- Turning to Yamcha and Roshi, Krillin scratches his head asking, since even himself isn't sure enough.
Yes, it's his best friend, but accidents happen, and a death accident would not be cool...
Roshi was about to open his mouth when the back door made a *creeak* noise, and someone very tired stepped inside, her two feathers above her head down to each side of their respective placement, like she was frightened by something.
Raising her head, she looked around seeing only the humans, prompting her to make a confused face.-" Uh, where are the Monkes and the senzu?"
Being very rude, but seemingly passing by them without much importance, Yamcha steps closer to her answering.-" Oh yeah, they just exited, Goku and his brother wanted to try their powers against each other... also... what did you do?"
Asking so, he gets right to her side, him being taller than the Owl, making her frown a bit, because how his tone was a bit too commanding for her likes, before answering.-" Nothing much, asked an old friend to help the Saiyan, he had something, and fixing it gave him the power he should always have. And that's that."
Getting a bit annoyed at how Yamcha acted she passed by them, walking to the front door, just to stop right in front of it, remembering something.
"Oh yeah, later on, you guys need to go to the Lookout, Tien and his little friend too, Mr.Popo wants to train you guys, and now, I heard you saying about a random Ki blast hitting you guys or something? Just come, I will help if something happens."
Talking with her back still to them, she walks outside, making the humans be relaxed and confused.
"So we have our teacher huh.... well, we can go there after this! I want to see a fight with people this strong!"- Running behind Muun, Yamcha didn't even notice the girl's change in mood.
Krillin and Roshi follow too, but they did notice, and were sweating a lot.-" Young Yamcha really played around one of these... strong women are no ones to joke around... specially if they have something as the tittle of strongest..."
For once in a very long time, Roshi's experienced wisdom shines forward, and the other bald monk besides nods in concordance.
"Yeah, the second his tone changed, she got from calmly asking, to being annoyed... it makes you question if he's worse than Goku with these things..."
Finally, everyone was outside by the beach, watching two brothers floating a little bit far from there, staring at each other.
Walking to their front, Mumei and Piccolo, cross their arms and stand there as security.
The ones who didn't see the Owl arriving give her a look before looking back to the fight that's about to start.
"So bird, how was the meeting with him?"- Piccolo asks looking forward with a serious look.
"Same as always, guy is a boomer who can't take jokes, even worse than you, for more hard to believe that can be."- Smiling cheekily after saying so.
The green man just grunts in response.
She sits down in the air, crossing her legs lazily.-" He was not very kin to thrusting Raditz also, I understand why, but I want to give him a chance, but if he fucks it up, I will not hesitate."- For one second, her eyes changed.
Giving a side look, Piccolo, blinks and looks back forward, nodding. -" He doesn't seem that bad, his synergy with his brother is pretty good, his motivation to show the others who had threatened him as trash is quite commendable also.... Hey bird."
Looking to his side and tilting her head, almost killing a certain someone in the void.-" Let me train him, if you do it, he will just be trashed around, meanwhile if Son and I do it, or even Gohan and me, we can help him better up.*looks at Muun*, and from your looks, you'll be going to whatever you disappear again."
Snickering at how her somewhat friend read her like a book, she just waves her hands.-" I have things to do, this time they're too important, maybe I show up and help you guys later on, but you can take him, beat his ass until he gets better.*smile*"
"*Smiles evilly* With pleasure."
Smiling, both of them watch the fight.
The ones behind them, feel like they shouldn't be there to starters...-" Uhh.... hm, she can be pretty chill too."- Krillin low voice rings out behind Yamcha, a feather in the Owl head aims at him.
"IIIGHHH!!"- And he hides further behind the wolf man, who doesn't understand why his friend is so scared, but ignores it.
Roshi stays by the side, with his arms to his back, watching this like a movie.-'Show me Goku, where has your training has taken you!'

{Above the Sea}
Small waves form in a circle beneath two men who fly above it.
"So how you want to do this Raditz?"- Goku smiles as he gets into his stance, ready to start this.
His brother thinks for a bit, and knowing his brother Kakarot, with the small conversations they had, he decides.-" Well, how about we go the old way? With only our fists, after what you said Kakarot, your mastery in Ki must be off the charts, it would be more fair this way... even if it hurts my pride to say so, it's the truth."
Following, and getting ready too, now with everything decided, they just wait for any type of signal to start.
"HAJIMEEEEEE!!!!*FUUUUSH!!!* *BOOOM!!*"
A Ki blast goes past them, in the middle of their locations, the Owl being the one to yell while firing a Blast from the beach.
That when exploded, announcing the start of the battle.
* *BAMM!!!* *
* *FUUUUSH * *
Explosions of water happens on both sides, and they move at lightning fast speeds to one another.
Finally, meeting in the encounter point, Goku comes in with a right-hand uppercut that prompted Raditz to raise his arm to block it as fast as possible while trying to control his new-found speed.
*BAMMM!!!*
Blocking it with the back of his arm, he feels the impact to his very bone, the amount of strength he gained is still surpassed by his brother.
"Kakarot... as a brother, you gained my respect, but as a Saiyan, you better not think I will go down so easily!!"- *USH!!*
Swinging his arm down, redirecting his brother's attack, he uses the stun of this movement to try and connect a frontal sidekick to his abdomen.
"Wha- UGH!!*PAMM!*"- But the moment he moves to attack, Goku crouches down dodging it, and moves his whole upper body up, and delivers an open palmed attack right beneath Raditz chin, making him be sent flying up a bit while spinning.
Getting his stance once again, the protagonist of this world gets ready to rush in again.
"WOOAH!!! Damn it!!"- Finally stopping spinning, with a small stream of blood going down his mouth, the attack did indeed hit hard.
Such a difference in power that isn't even 1.5x couldn't be easily felt if both were good martial artists, hence why Goku and Piccolo could keep up with Mumei when she was stronger than them, even if suppressed, she was still higher, but their skills were such that a small percentage could be easily overcome by sheer technique.
Hence, making her using something that makes her more than 2x times stronger, and making any attempts be just that, attempts to fail.
But the situation right now is different, Raditz a brute force fighter, someone who heavily relies on his brute power, is different of someone like his brother, who is skillful in the art of fighting, and fusing that together with his power being higher.
Raditz had little to no chance at all to begin with.
"Now, let's GO!!"- *SUUUSH!!*
Disappearing for a second, making Raditz look around in alert, just to hear the same sound to his left, and when he turned together with a left backhanded swing with his arm.
He passed by pure air, his eyes widening when he heard something.
"HEY! Why don't you look up?"- Doing so.
*PAMMM!!*
And receiving a football kick right into the right side of his face, he was kinda happy he wasn't with his scouter, since it would have broke to millions of pieces.
*uuuUUSH!!*
*CLASH!!*
Being sent back to the island, right beneath the legs of a certain bird.
She looks to with an unreadable expression, staring at his face that looks up in the sky.-" So what, is power all you seek? If you were at the same level of your brother, you would still lose, that is how much a great fighter he is. So what now?"
Asking made him smile a little, the ones by her side gave her a look as asking what she was trying to get out of the man.
Well, Gohan was just hearing, he had grown to trust his aunt a lot, because of how she acts. A clown at times, but the most reliable person you can find, if she makes a promise, she'll do them, like what she did with his new uncle Raditz.
Forcing his body up, his shoulder armor cracked up a bit, he stretches his neck again with some cracks, and turns to her.-" You did your part Owl, now I will do mine, just like our deal.*smiles*, and for what I am going to do? Hah! A Saiyan never gives up! We grow stronger and stronger from each fail or loss!*FUUUSH!!*"
Flying back to the skies, he starts to try to hit Kakarot with various jabs and uppercuts, but he just hits his after-images.
Various times he would just rush forward, for Goku to hit a critical attack, since Raditz had such a barbaric way of attacking, for someone who can predict and attack like a second nature, Goku was getting in heavier and more powerful hits.
This got on for half an hour, Raditz repeatedly tried everything he knew and learned while surviving in space, a style created by a survivor, but was still being trashed by his brother.
His attacks being redirected, since blocking most of time wasn't needed for Goku against Raditz.
And after the first twenty minutes, Raditz got used to his new power, he couldn't bring it fully out, but now he was attacking knowing his limitations.
But its was too late for this, ten minutes later, Raditz threw a very slow left straight punch, his armor was utterly destroyed, his chest part completely destroyed.
His right eye was half closed, and to close it all up, wounds everywhere and his right arm was hit with such a strong sidekick, it was still numb, even after 10 minutes or so.
As for his brother? Goku has a hit mark with a small wound on his right cheek, the only attack Raditz connected in a combo of more than fifty consecutive attacks one after the other.
They stood just above the Kami-House now.
"Wow... Those guys are on another level, primarily Goku! Like when did he become like that!"- Krillin with stars in his eyes cheered for his best friend.
Being too stunned to speak, Yamcha was just thinking in further ways to improve his fist, and being scared at how much of monster those guys are, but he still insults the strongest on earth earlier, funny.
Strangely looking seriously, Roshi was watching his disciple and analyzing him to the best his eyes could keep with, and his beard was formed in a satisfied smile.-' He did grow into a formidable men... my student Gohan.... the child you picked up, is a fantastic warrior.'
The duo of bird, and senzu man were smiling while watching the fight.
"He's not half bad, a lot of unnecessary movement, and using too much power when it isn't needed, other than that, I can work him up." - Piccolo with his cape flying behind with the wind, was already making notes.
"He's bad.... holly shit.... the dude had just the power of brute strength...."- On the other hand the second judge was far more to the point, Muun was just with a blank expression now after the long haired never got a hit in the whole fight.
And this was boring for her.... it was like they're moving too slow, since she could now walk fully powered around without them thinking much, she was going to be like this around them, they can hold, so why not.
"Hey Auntmei... don't need to be so rude, he's trying... he's trying, I think."- Even little Gohan was taken back, his uncle was strong, but even the little one thought he had a chance against someone that just attacks seemingly at random and without any technique...
Sighing loudly enough that it made everyone look at her, Muun breathed in.-" YOU TWO!!! IT'S ENOUGH!!!"
*USHSUSHSUH!!!!*
Strong waves of wind are fired, with her voice as the start of it all.
The surrounding ones raised their arms to block some of it, and the two up there nodded at one another and descended slowly.
"Could have warned us or something you know?"- With a tick mark on his head, Piccolo rubbed his ears, having them in great pain right now.
"Ouh, tru that, but now is already done, and I need to say something to Goku and go on my way."- She points to one side, like she needs to go fast, and Piccolo just sighs a shakes his head.
* *uuush* *
*tap**tap* *THUD!*
One stepping lightly on the ground, while the other just fallen on his back, you can guess already.
"Men, you're strong Raditz, but still need waayyy more training in your techniques!"- Commenting in his brother, who is sleeping the best sleep of his life it seems.
*Whistle*
Turning his head to the sound, and seeing Mumei he smiles a bit, but she is faster.-" No time, go find Kami, he has a type of training that could take you to my level if you do it, *side eyes Piccolo*, and can only be done if you have a completely pure heart."
"TSK!"
Hearing this, the Saiyan gets pumped up, the possibility of getting this much stronger enticed him.
And before he thanked her.
"Good luck, cyall in like ten months or something.*FUUUUSHH!!*"- Waving she jumps up and flies away.
Letting everyone confused there, staring at her going.
"Ah... did we do something?"- Yamcha asked, scratching his head.
The ones who saw what he did earlier fired him a glare, making him shut-up.
"No, she isn't, but if she doesn't want any help, so what can we do."- Saying so, Piccolo picks up Raditz and starts to fly soon followed by a concerned Gohan and an excited Goku.
The humans remembering they need to go to the Lookout enter the house to get their clothes ready.
When.
*FUUUSH!*
*tap**tap*
They turn to the beach, seeing a bald muscular tall man, with a green Gi, in his feet also black and yellow martial artists shoes.
By his side a very pale white kid? Levitating with some black pants and a white tank top, with some martial arts black shoes.
Raising one hand, the bald man.-"Hey guys, it's been a minute hasn't it?"

{Pov Kro; Kro's home; Void}
Muun..... She isn't feeling well, a short while ago her head started being in pain, her mood has been going down more and more.
Now she's just annoyed at everything, that stupid Yamcha got to her at the wrong moment, getting her even worse...
I have been talking with her, and she's trying her best to not let it affect her, but it's.
Have been monitoring her brain and such... what I don't normally do, since she doesn't really like it, but still do one time or another a full check... need my little bird at 101% full capacity.
And this turmoil is linked to her memories, but that's the thing, which ones? At the moment I only have access to her old life ones... could they be this body ones?
But that doesn't make sense... The compatibility with both soul and body is too high, like they were always together....
*Puts hand under chin*
She could have forgotten, but remembered her new ones?.... A possibility to put on my desk.
*Clicking sounds*
It wouldn't be strange if that's the case, she's not remembering what she was doing there!
"Muun.... I think, I found something that you may wanna hear..."
[{Ugh... What?}]
[[[[[ |||||| A little explaining later ||||||| ]]]
"And so, resuming, you must have forgotten, but in exchange remembered your old one."- Uff, that was a little long
She just flies by a desert... seems we finally got here.
[{So... I forgor, but at the same time rember.... I... I am a paradox?}]- *pffftt*
Good to see her mind for jokes still active.
"Yeah, the best way to describe it, and now, is that your mind knows there is stuff in there that shouldn't be forgotten,and it's trying to bring it up, doing so, also bringing a LOT of headaches."
She hums, and descends into a very familiar location.
[{Raditz story about my people, if that started this, then in some way I am connected to there, I might be like Goku, a sole survivor that escaped...}]
"Hmm, could be, but we don't have any proves saying so, now, let's find what lies before our coming to this world, shall we?*grins* Dear~"
Seeing her heart rate go up puts a smile on my face, having her be distracted is working, aaaand now she's blushing. -[{ You...you do....youdoyourealise....thatyouembarassme...}]
Oh.... that's rare for her to enter this mode...
She stops descending right where we started.
And finally stopped talking one word above the other.-[{*Sigh*... Let's see shall we, who was I before.}]
And after that she started walking, the direction her steps were seem from her memory.
"Umu, let us go on another adventure then."

{Mount Paozu}
"WHATTT??!!"
A scream comes from a small house in the famous Mount Paozu, shaking it as a whole.
Inside there's a woman with her hair in a bun, and a yellow and blue Chinese dress. In front of her, our dear Saiyan, Goku who's laughing nervously.
"Uhhh...*sweats* I will be off for a while, since I got a huge opportunity! So I wanted to inform you Chi-Chi..."- He tries his best to explain.
But in the end just makes the woman sigh really loud, and look at her son who is at the entrance.-" And you Gohan? Will you follow those delinquents too?"
Asking with big tears in her face, which makes the small child shake his head.-" Nono! I am going to continue training with Mister Piccolo, and studying Mom, auntie gave me more work for this year! So you don't have to worry!*smiles nervously*"
Obviously, Mumei and Kro didn't, but he needed a way to make his mother accept it, Piccolo and Raditz outside nodded at the kid's choice.
Raditz was sitting on the ground supporting his back to the house, healing, Piccolo was just resting his back to the house standing up, just waiting to go and start their training.
The long haired Saiyan looks up at the Namek.-" Hey, Piccolo wasn't it, so what we're gonna do now? It seems Kakarot is going out for some good training judging from how excited he is."
Humming as confirmation, Piccolo smiles.-" We just have to train harder than him, easy as that, pushing ourselves every day, and then results will show, I need to teach you some things too, but if you want, you could refuse and get beaten up like before."
"Ugh!!"- Lowering his head, the Saiyan just nods and stays quiet.
{Going back inside.}
" Hmmm... since Mumei already did leave you more work... I guess you could go, and Goku, when you come back, you'll have to promise to me that you'll work! Our money is running low!"
Taking this opportunity, Goku promised to do so, with a big stupid smile and hugged Chi-Chi making her blush hard and smile.-' I will need to thank Mumei-chan for teaching him these things later...'
And after saying their goodbyes, they each flew to their destinations.
Raditz didn't talk to his brother wife because of how beaten up he was, and Piccolo still needed to carry him like a sack of potatoes around, being followed by Gohan.
Flying at high speeds to the Lookout, at some point finding his friend's Ki going too,Goku tailed them and got there together.
*tap**tap*
Landing a minute after they did so, he was surprised.-" Tien!!! Chiaotzu too!! Been a while with you guy's!"
He laughs and walks to their side, both smile.-" It really has Goku, you got even stronger I can see."
Tien looking at his so-called rival smiles, and if he could, he would challenge him now, but they have things to do.
*tap*
*tap*
*tap*
Coming from the entrance of the chamber, Kami looks at them, and moves his head as compliment, they bow too in return, turning his bead to the Saiyan.-"Goku, please come with me..."
"Hai! Yosh! Guy's, see you all in a bit!"- Running after his old master, they enter his office.
The others stay there, waiting for the one who called them.
"Goku is super strong, and he's going to climb even more.*clenches fists*, we will to go 200% at our training in here."- The wolf man says, prompting his friends to nod in confirmation.
"Yeah, I have some new techniques that need further bettering, I hope you guys are ready!"- Smiling, Tien gets excited to be training with his friends once more, and in doing so, Chiaotzu gets hyped too.
The bald one with dots in his head can't stop shaking for some reason that even he doesn't know, but he feels something in his shoulder, a hand, and that makes him freeze.
"So you maggots have come, the little Owl girl was super educated, so I treated her well too, but it seems you guys will need some work."
For some motive, they felt like hell was a joke when they saw a genie staring at them with that void of a look, they themselves didn't understand it well at the time.
"Now-now, first rule of Popo's training....."
