I felt some force push against my pod and I was suddenly flying through space once more. I was still disoriented by the time I spent in the Subspace.
I don't know how long I was in the Subspace for, the last thing I remembered was being in my Saiyan pod trying to escape Frieza's destruction of Planet Vegetta.
There was some crack in space and my pod was sucked inside. I have no idea how long I was in what I had assumed was the Subspace.
The Subspace was said to be the place between dimensions where the laws of time and space were practically nonexistent.
So while the time I was there was unknown if I was even there to begin with, I knew I had been there for enough time to go through my memories and figure out where I was.
The thing is, I had two sets of memories. I remembered being in a world were I watched things called anime and read manga and one of my favorite animes was Dragon Ball Z and it's many different related animes. The manga was great too, but something about seeing the events happening in real time felt more impactful to me so I preferred the show more.
This meant that there were some things that I didn't know as they were only in the manga and not the shows but I knew enough.
The other memories had me living on Planet Vegeta as an unknown Elite Saiyan that either never existed in the original story, wasn't talked about at all, or never survived the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
I was immensely powerful, for an early Saiyan that is. I felt my power level of 50,000. But my memories from my other life meant that this knowledge didn't correlate with what I knew of the story.
In the story, King Vegeta was said to be the strongest Saiyan and he was said to have had a power level between 10 and 17,000 as his power level was said to have been surpassed by his son Vegeta who had a power level of 18,000.
Something must have happened, maybe some external influence or my time in the Subspace maybe affected things I wasn't sure.
So clearly I was transmigrated or reincarnated in the world of Dragon Ball Z and based on what I could see, I was heading towards earth and soon I'll be able to figure out what timeline I'm dealing with.
As long as it isn't the Dragon Ball Super (DBS) timeline as I'd have to be dealing with insanely powerful entities, Gods, Angels, Multiversal universe destroying beings.
Although I doubt I'd be in that timeline as I'm pretty sure the destruction of Planet Vegeta wasn't that long ago.
Unlike most people, I absolutely loved DBS. While it was ridiculous at times, it introduced an entirely new level of power and cool new transformations that made my inner edge lord tremble from excitement.
From my memories, my name was Zenaku a name that seemed to be from my last life. It is Japanese in origin written normally as Zen'Aku which means good and evil.
If I had to guess, I was the one to choose my name, my inner edge lord definitely chose that name.
I know that I am currently more powerful than base Vegeta and Nappa together, but I won't settle for the power I have now, I will do everything to make it so I don't die prematurely.
I know how powerful Frieza is. He has a base power of up to 570,000 to a tentative max power of 120,000,000 with varying levels of power as he has his perfected final form where he's more powerful, yet bulky like the original Super Saiyan Grade II that Trunks had unlocked. And as this is no longer just an anime, he could be more powerful.
My thoughts were interrupted by my pod finally entering the atmosphere of Earth and the fire was all over my pod due to re-entry.
I crash landed in some sort of deserted area and my pod opened and I stepped out. I noticed I was wearing the classic Frieza Force armor except it was mostly black with some brown accents and didn't have exposed skin like Nappa, more covered like Vegetta's blue armor.
[Pic of armor here. Only the armor, my OC looks different]
I apparently wasn't super invested in my looks so my Saiyan version of me that i seemingly inhabited rarely, if ever paid attention to what he looked like so I didn't really know my looks yet.
As I was looking around at all the rocks and small mountain like terrain, I sensed multiple Ki signatures heading my way, they were all weak energy signals with the highest being a measly 408.
I was glad that I possessed the capability to sense Ki unlike Vegeta when he first arrived on earth although I still had a basic scouter on my head which gave me their exact numbers, confirming what I sensed from them.
I seemed to be unable to suppress my power so the Z-Fighters could sense my seemingly overwhelming power.
I finally saw the owners of the signatures, it was Piccolo, Krillin, and Yamcha with Piccolo having the highest level and Yamcha the lowest at less than 120.
They landed in front of me, their stances showing their caution as I was not only a Saiyan, I had similar armor to Raditz and an insane power level.
"Are you here to attack the earth like the Saiyan Raditz?" Piccolo, being the strongest asked.
The Z-Fighters seemed to have assumed I was one of the Saiyans due to all the evidence in front of them.
Credit to Piccolo though, despite my immense power, he remained calm and seemed to be taking things more cautiously as he didn't want to attack me immediately.
He reasoned that if I wasn't an enemy, (as I hadn't immediately started attacking them) and he attacked, I'd retaliate and they would all die
"Raditz?" I asked.
"Yes, he was a Saiyan like you who was sent to destroy this planet. He said that in a years time two Saiyans would arrive to complete his mission. There are still 6 months remaining until their supposed arrival so I do not know if you are one of them." Piccolo replied eyes never leaving me in fear that I might try something.
"Why would I be trying to destroy this planet?" I asked.
My question seemed to have stunned Piccolo as he didn't respond immediately.
"You really aren't here to destroy the earth?" Krillin asked.
"No. I only barely escaped the destruction of Planet Vegeta and my pod was knocked off course somehow and I somehow arrived on this planet, I didn't even know the name of this planet until you just said it." I explained, my released power so overwhelming that Piccolo, the most perceptive of the group, wasn't able to concentrate to figure out if i was lying or not.
Having seemed to have come to a decision, Piccolo looked at me seriously.
"If that is truly the case, if the other Saiyans arrive on this planet, will you join them?" Piccolo asked keeping his face neutral but internally he was hoping that I wouldn't join them as the power he sensed from me was stronger than any he'd ever felt and he felt like an ant in front of me.
I paused to think on how I should respond. I had no plans whatsoever to join the two, but it wouldn't be believable if I immediately agreed.
"Hmm, with Planet Vegeta destroyed I no longer have a home, maybe I could make this planet my new home. If you can find me a place to stay and some information about this planet and its inhabitants, not only will I not join them, I will even fight them in your stead if you need it." I explained what I felt was a reasonable request.
I also made sure I didn't reveal anything that they didn't already know as Kakarot's history and the reveal of what happened to our home planet was revealed to them by Raditz.
"You will really help us?" Piccolo asked still skeptical, which didn't surprise me as I am probably much stronger than everyone on earth and from the same race as the people who were supposed to be coming to destroy their world.
"Yes, if you could also provide me with a place to train I'd also appreciate it." I replied.
"Very well, we agree to your request, but I will be watching you very closely and if you step out of line, I won't hesitate to kill you." Piccolo replied with more confidence than he actually had.
I simply nodded waving off his threat as I knew even after his training he would only barely be able to beat Nappa at his weakest which was still higher than Piccolo by that time.
"If I might ask, what's your name and why would you even need to train, you already seem very strong?" Yamcha actually asked as everyone was getting ready to head to Capsule Corp.
They became more nervous as an Intense angry glare appeared on my face briefly before it disappeared just as quickly surprising myself as i dont onow what triggered it but decided to ignore it for now.
"Of course I never introduced myself. My name is Zenaku an Elite Saiyan warrior. As for why I need to train, I need to be powerful enough to take revenge on the tyrant that destroyed my homeworld and my current power isn't even a tenth of his true power." I explained.
Hearing that I was an elite warrior didn't surprise them as they heard from Raditz that he was mid class and they already felt I was a lot more powerful than Raditz.
What did surprise them was the reveal of a super powerful enemy of Zenaku who he said he was not even a tenth as powerful as.
Having felt Zenaku's power for themselves, they couldn't imagine how powerful someone like the so-called tyrant was.
