Almost sacrificed in vain, Raditz gazed at the scorched earth before him.
The power of the lethal ki powered up attack was no joke. Even though he had blocked the move, his arm still felt numb.
He turned on the communicator, putting on a show with dramatic screams alongside his companions. Finally, Raditz adopted a weak voice and uttered, "Damn, falling into your hands, but you've let me know that Earth possesses dragon balls capable of granting any wish. My comrades will come to save me. Hahahaha..."
Abruptly, he cut off the transmission, leaving the signal to travel across the universe to its destination.
The final message crossed space and reached the Saiyan detectors of the two individuals.
A murmur of "Shashasha" followed, and Raditz's voice faded completely.
"It seems he's dead," Nappa remarked, his indifferent expression unchanged as he battled.
Vegeta effortlessly dispatched a few enemies with one hand and spoke coldly, "Pathetic fool, getting killed on Earth. It appears that Kakarot has betrayed us and conspired with the Earth."
With those words, he waved his hand, releasing a wave of energy that obliterated a group of alien warriors before him, drying up a natural lake in the process. Dense gas enveloped his body, emitting white flames. The ground trembled slightly as the smoke and dust dispersed.
Witnessing Vegeta in such a state, Nappa couldn't help but show fear in his eyes.
As a militant Saiyan who believed in power, he was never afraid, except when it came to Vegeta. Nappa understood well that the current Vegeta was in a state of anger, and even in this state of attack, he dared not face him.
"Vegeta, let it go. He's just a subordinate fighter..."
"It's amusing to see how nervous you are," Vegeta smirked. "I'm not angry; I'm excited. Didn't you hear what Raditz said? On Earth, there are dragon balls that can grant any wish!"
Nappa reacted, "Are we going to save Raditz?"
"Save that waste? No. We'll wish for eternal life so we can keep fighting, won't we?" Vegeta clenched his fist, his eyes burning with a fiery intensity.
The mention of the Dragon Balls and their ability to grant any wish ignited Vegeta's eagerness. For him, eternal life was only the beginning! The fire in his eyes represented his unwavering thirst for revenge. Within the flames lurked the shadow of the enemy he harbored in his heart, Frieza.
Forced to serve Frieza for so many years, concealing his knowledge of the destruction of the Planet Vegeta, Vegeta had accumulated power and plotted revenge. Now, with the prospect of eternal life within his grasp, defeating Frieza was merely a matter of time. How could he not be moved?
"Nappa, let's go. Let's head to Earth!"
"Yes... but a small part of the battle remains."
"No need. With eternal life, do you think I care about this?" Vegeta asked, a cold glare piercing Nappa.
"I understand, I understand," Nappa stuttered and unleashed his final shockwave.
The two Saiyans swiftly departed from the battlefield, leaving the remaining aliens shocked and grateful to have survived.
...
Back on Earth, Raditz returned to the Kame House with Goku and Piccolo, resolving the misunderstanding with everyone.
Upon hearing about the existence of such magical objects in the universe, everyone couldn't help but contemplate the vastness of the universe and their own insignificance.
"I never expected such a thing to exist!" Bulma gazed at the sky. "My sister is also traveling the universe. I wonder if she's in any danger."
"Hey! Bulma, you have a sister!" Goku, Krillin, and the others were taken aback.
Master Roshi, with a sly smile, interjected, "I wonder if your sister fancies a mature man?"
"Hey!" Bulma promptly slapped Master Roshi into the sea...
"My sister is a writer. She has been traveling the universe and hasn't returned in a long time, but we keep in touch regularly," Raditz reassured them. "The distant galaxies aren't facing any crises for now, so don't worry. But now, let's hurry and find the Dragon Balls. Krillin, go find the other powerful individuals on this planet. Since you're going to train, bring them along!"
"Sure, but... I don't know where they are," Krillin replied. Tien Shinhan and Launch had departed a long time ago, and Yamcha's whereabouts were unknown. How would he find them?
"My device can detect the strength and location of individuals, but I need Bulma to block any surveillance devices in the communication systems," Raditz explained as he handed the device to Bulma, also teaching her how to operate it.
Though this type of detector was old, its technology was quite advanced. The materials and sensing elements of the screen were not from Earth, so Raditz handled it with care. Despite the appearance of Frieza's minions, who didn't seem worth it, the device had research value.
After examining it for a while, Bulma was confident she could dismantle it. She claimed to understand its principles.
Being recognized as a genius scientist wasn't just for show. While others marveled at her, they believed that she would have it figured out in no time.
Utilizing this time, Raditz personally set out to find the Dragon Balls, while Goku and Piccolo headed to a large island on the beach. Gohan enjoyed playing with the turtles and laughed joyfully.
Meanwhile, Krillin saw Gohan running around and reminisced about the times Goku trained with the turtles when he was a child. He couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
As he pondered, Raditz had already flown thousands of miles and found the first Dragon Ball.
Once Shenron appeared, the Dragon Balls were scattered across the world, some in hidden places. Although the radar indicated their positions, the depth was difficult to measure since the coordinates were two-dimensional. Often, they had to dive underwater, infiltrate caves, or even deal with animals that had swallowed the Dragon Balls.
After much effort, Raditz finally located all the Dragon Balls.
Returning to the Kame House, he noticed that everyone had arrived, even Yamcha and Oolong.
"Haha, it seems I'm a bit late," Raditz remarked as he put down the Dragon Balls and greeted everyone.
Yamcha responded cheerfully, while both Krillin and Tien Shinhan remained silent, still harboring wariness toward Raditz. But Raditz didn't mind; he knew they needed time to understand, and Goku believed in him.
Taking a deep breath, Raditz shouted, "Come forth, Shenron!"
