Invasion of Tradick Saga

Opening
The Invasion of Tradick Saga begins with Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz on their way to Planet Tradick as Frieza sent them there as Vegeta said there was a secret power coming from it Frieza is unaware of and wants it to be uncovered. Raditz states that the planet has beings with power levels over 3,000. Vegeta in response to Nappa states Frieza wants them to take over the planet, destroy their leader, and if there is anything of significance they report it back to Frieza.

Landing
As the Saiyans exit their pods, Vegeta remarks the planet not looking like much and orders Raditz to check his scouter for lifeforms. Doing so, Raditz states there does not seem to be anything on the planet. Raditz states there are hundreds of "them" all in one city saying it must be the only place with lifeforms left. Vegeta and the others race toward the city. On their way to the city, Raditz scouter goes off picking up something as he yells they have company. Two robots appear and state the Saiyans shall surrender to their king or leave the planet forever and if they do not comply they will execute them. Nappa jumps into the battle as the robots fire but is able to tank all the attacks. Lunging, Nappa easily takes the robots down but just after, more appear but Nappa just uses Giant Storm to take them out. After, Raditz states that the lifeforms know they are there but Vegeta replies they already knew seeing as once they arrived robots tried to attack them. They continue flying until they reach the city with the lifeforms and stand at the door.

Arrival
As the Saiyans arrive three men are revealed. A pink henchmen asks if the rest of the henchmen are just going to stay there or if they want him and the others to kill them. A man in a black hooded suit replies that they are already coming to them so why bother moving. The henchmen then begins talking about killing the Saiyans right then and there with the other henchmen but they settle on waiting for their arrival. The Saiyans continue to walk down a corridor as Nappa and Raditz are chatting, Vegeta announces they are where the lifeforms are as his scouter goes off and he blows down the door to the room with the henchmen. Vegeta steps through the door, stating that they are the Saiyans that have come to take over the planet on behalf of the Frieza Force and to surrender and they may not die as well as remarking on the strange power. The caped man tells the henchmen to kill all the Saiyans.

First Battle
Vegeta leaves the battle and lets Nappa and Raditz do all the work as the henchmen lunge at the two Saiyans being to throw hands with each other. As this happens Vegeta and the caped man stare. Raditz has launched a special move of his but even with his strong moves, it is clear the henchmen are stronger than him and he begins to be worn out slowly. Nappa is on even battle level with the squid looking henchmen and as the henchmen begins to charge up his horn, Nappa launches his fist through the squid man remarking that it looks like a hole in one. As Raditz was fighting the pink henchmen, the man disappeared a re-appeared just behind Raditz but he did not notice. Vegeta steps in and vaporizes the henchmen with a single attack saying he is tired of saving Raditz all the time and it was just easier with him and Nappa. With all the henchmen gone, the caped man stands up. As Vegeta asks the man if he is sure he does not want to tell him where the energy is, the caped man pulls off his hood and yells that he is the energy.

Battle with Goji
As the caped man powers up, a red aura bursts around him as the ground shakes and the building crumbles to pieces and explodes. Vegeta is immediately alarmed by this and with desperation in his voice, he asks Nappa what the scouter says about his power level. Nappa, sounding shocked, says that it is rising and begins to say 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, before being cut off by Vegeta ordering him to forget it and just kill the man. Nappa lunges at the man punching swiftly at his head but the man dodges each punch Nappa throws at him. As Nappa takes a breath, the man states that if Nappa is the strongest of his gang, all he has to do is kill him before punching Nappa which sends him flying to the ground creating a crater on Nappa's impact. Nappa immediately powers up as a blue aura envelopes him and launches a beam directly at the man with all his force. As the beam is coming rapidly at the man he states that Nappa can call his attack the coup de grace as he will not survive it and his hand begins to form red sparks around it as he charges up a red beam sending it right back at Nappa's attack. The ground rises as the beams collide and rocks fly up breaking from the ground. Vegeta shouts, ordering Raditz to help Nappa. Raditz charges up a yellow beam that collides with the mans and the two beams are enough to overwhelm the man as an explosion sends a large smokescreen to envelope around the battlefield. As the man and Vegeta rise up from the smokescreen they both lock eyes. The man begins to speak to Vegeta saying that he has noticed others taking orders from him, he takes it Vegeta is their king. Vegeta remarks that he is their prince but the royal blood of a Saiyan flows within his veins. The man states that he is of royal blood too, telling Vegeta to prepare to kneel before his king, the great king, Goji. From below, Nappa and Raditz watch. Vegeta states that Goji should start fighting seriously as he defeated men like him before. Goji then responds saying that he does not understand as there are no men like him. As they get into their fighting stances, Goji says that this may Vegeta's last time to pray to his God and suggests the Saiyan takes it. Vegeta lunges at Goji and begins to take the upperhand hitting the king with multiple kicks and punches as Goji is tossed around in the air. Vegeta launches an attack directly at Goji causing an explosion and as the smoke dissipates, Vegeta remarks that Goji really was all talk. Just then Vegeta's scouter detects Goji directly next to him as Goji says he would never be defeated but such an easy trick, knocking Vegeta back. Vegeta yells out for Goji to try and dodge his next attack as he begins to launch a barrage of beams exploding on impact with the ground making small craters each time they miss Goji as he runs past them. Goji quickly lunges at Vegeta causing a clash between the two leading into more fighting. As they are clashing Vegeta smashes Goji into the ground causing a smokescreen of dust to form and a large crater but as it fades, Goji is nowhere in sight. Vegeta hears a noise of an energy beam and looks behind him in astonishment as the beam comes right for him, he blocks it with his hand, clenching the beam in place. As Vegeta speaks with a desperate and tired voice asking if that is all Goji can do, Goji replies that is not all he can do and it is enough to make Vegeta struggle as Vegeta replies that is where he is wrong. After some powering up in Vegeta's other arm he punches the beam to the side of him which contacts with a mountain and explodes it, Vegeta states that Goji is not even a warmup despite beginning to sound tired and his armor is scuffed. As Vegeta stares on, Goji states the feat was impressive but if that is all Vegeta thinks that is enough to defeat him. Vegeta replies that it looks like he is all out of gas. Goji replies that they are fools and that this is not even his final form before beginning to power up. The ground beneath Goji crumbles as rocks shoot up and his feet dig into the ground. Goji gets more buff and spikes begin growing from him and ripping through his cloak. His hair grows longer and Vegeta looks shocked as his scouter begins to go off. Goji's eyes turn red as a final blinding light of energy shines off him as he has transformed into his second form. Vegeta stares in shock as Goji then launches himself towards Nappa and begins to pummel his face in. Just then, Vegeta's scouter goes off as he receives a call stating that the fight on Tradick has been monitored by the Frieza Force and after learning of a power level of over 17,000 the Frieza Force is concerned Vegeta and his team will not survive and to return to Frieza Planet 79 at once before Vegeta shuts the call off. As Goji is beating Nappa to a pulp and Vegeta is watching, Vegeta states no wonder Raditz is so weak and asks why he is not fighting as he is a Saiyan. Raditz replies that he picked up Goji's power level at over 22,000 and that he cannot beat that. Vegeta says that Raditz never challenges himself inbattle to get a power boost and that it is hard to get near death when he barely fights at all. As Goji finishes off Nappa by sending him into a mountain, Nappa's armor is shattered and Goji looks back at Vegeta. Vegeta stares back and begins to power up, exclaiming that it is time for his demise as a purple aura begins to form around Vegeta while he begins to form the Galick Gun. Vegeta exclaims that his Galick Gun will take away all hope Goji had of victory and reduce him to dust as a crater forms beneath him breaking the ground as rocks shoot up. Goji also begins to power up, replying that he has power well beyond Vegeta's comprehension as a red aura envelopes Goji. Vegeta fires his Galick Gun and Goji fires his mouth beam and they both collide. Nappa and Raditz both join in firing their own beams to help Vegeta but it fails and Goji's beam contacts overwhelms theirs causing an explosion and tearing all their armor to shreds. As Vegeta stands up the bottom half of his armor completely crumbles and blood drips down his forehead while Goji stares back at him. Behind Vegeta, Nappa begins poking holes in the ground with his finger as he plans on creating Saibamen to help them in the fight or at least a distraction as things are starting to get ugly. Goji states the fight is becoming interesting and Vegeta responds asking to know what the energy Goji had used at the end was. Goji says he will tell Vegeta his backstory. Goji begins to say, many years ago that Tradick was visited by two beings and one of them was a God, a literal God. The God demanded that the people on Tradick fed him and if the food was not up to his satisfaction he would destroy their world. Goji says that the God did not just want food but he also wanted to know what their race tasted like as he began killing off random members of Goji's race and demanded he cooked them and if they did not taste right he would kill them know. Goji stated that the thing the God did not know was that their energy is what produces all their electricity and it was stored all in the castle in a device called a Gaya Generator and when the God used his divine energy it was absorbed into it, only a small bit, but that was all it was needed for it to blow up. Goji states he was guardian of the device at the time and he was now endowed with the power that the deity had inflicted upon them. Vegeta responds that the strange energy Frieza had sent them for was godly power inside of him. Goji responds saying that if Frieza wants him to join his army he can forget about it. Vegeta remarks he still has orders to kill Goji and he intends to carry them out as they begin fighting again. Raditz joins in the fight but Goji pulls his tail causing Raditz to loose all his power. Vegeta tells Raditz that they told him to train it against attack as he lunges back at Goji. After a while of being beaten down, Goji kicks the two into a mountain causing half of it to collapse as they fall into it. Vegeta says that he would make them all transform but with Raditz around it makes it harder since Raditz cannot control himself. Raditz says he will be able to handle it but Vegeta says he will not take the chance. Goji then stands infront of the two charging up an attack to kill them both. Just then a slice appears on Goji's cheek as tons of Saibamen lunge at Goji attempting to kill him. As Goji slices through and destroys the Saibamen, Nappa collects six of the Saibamen saying it is all he can manage as he is beat. Nappa tells Vegeta that Raditz is out cold and he cannot survive much longer and that Vegeta needs to transform as Vegeta launches a fake moon into the sky which Goji dodges, misinterpreting it to be an attack. As the full moon forms the sky turns dark and lighting shoots down. Vegeta intakes the full moon and transforms into a Great Ape, increasing his power level by 10x. Goji shoots some energy blasts at the now transformed Vegeta but they have no effect as he just shakes them off. Vegeta launches a mouth beam at Goji which he dodges, infuriating Vegeta. Goji states that he has to kill them now even if it takes some of his planet with him. A bubble form arounds him as a shining light and explosion occurs. Vegeta while talking to Nappa, saying that Frieza still wants the planet for selling and there is no reason to tell him about the God energy. Nappa asks about Goji, saying that Frieza would want someone like that in his army. Vegeta replies saying that there is no way he is letting someone like that on Frieza's army, saying that the army is strong enough as it is. Raditz says he guesses they did not win which Vegeta responds saying that they have an order to return to Frieza Planet 79 to recover and try again. Raditz says that they should not try again as they barely survived which Vegeta replied saying that they should try explaining that to Frieza, Vegeta calls back the space pods and the Saiyans board back in it on their way to Frieza Planet 79 to recover and explain to Frieza what went down. Once the Saiyans arrive Vegeta makes a stop to get a new scouter after recovered with also a stronger power level and new battle armor. Once Vegeta is done equipping a new scouter the Saiyans begin walking to Frieza's room. Once they enter, Vegeta kneels down saying that he regrets to inform him that the inhabitance of Tradick were formidable and despite all three of them, they were unable to take the planet. Frieza responds back by asking why it was so hard to take over a planet with such an insignificant power level, also saying that maybe they need Zarbon to hold their hand to which Zarbon responds by saying he could take Tradick on his own and Frieza also responds by saying he would not waste Zarbon's talent on a planet so weak. Frieza then pokes fun at the Saiyan race which angers Nappa who lunges at Frieza but Vegeta holds him back. Frieza states he is feeling generous today and instead of killing them all he will allow them to try again and to take someone with them and if they have nobody, Frieza will send Zarbon with them. Vegeta responds back saying that they do not need Zarbon as they have someone perfect for the job. Frieza says they shall set off immediately and finish what they start this time. As the Saiyans are now in the hallway, Nappa asks who Vegeta will get to go with them. Vegeta says he does not know but he cannot go with Zarbon and that he will not recruit stronger members as Frieza will dispose of them. Raditz then perks up saying that he knows someone and that his father told him his brother survived and was sent to a planet called Earth and saying that he could have taken off the planet on Earth and with the home planet on he could still be on Earth. Vegeta states it is worth a shot and it is better one of their own then one of Frieza's. Raditz then enters a space pod off to Earth to find Goku which concludes the saga. In the normal timeline this would lead to Raditz finding Goku and the whole Dragon Ball Z as we know it happening.
