Time flowed quietly on King Kai's planet, and as Rayuga stood under the stars, his thoughts drifted to the future.
In his previous life—the original timeline—Goku had spent most of his time training, often neglecting the people he loved. Now, with Goku married to Akiko and recently becoming a father to Gohan, Rayuga felt a silent responsibility to protect that balance.
"He shouldn't be dragged into heavy training yet," Rayuga muttered to himself, arms crossed beneath the cosmos. "He deserves peace… at least for now."
Thus, Rayuga made a firm decision.
"I'll bring him to King Kai… later. When the time is right."
And with that thought, he turned and stepped back through dimensions, returning to Earth.

One Year Later
The seasons changed, and so did Earth.
Rayuga continued his intense training across secluded landscapes, from deep forests to mountaintops.
During this time, he searched for more Super Saiyan God fragments, and after countless sign-ins and challenges, he obtained only one more, bringing his current total to 3 out of 6.
He never complained. Power earned with effort was power that lasted.
Meanwhile, life flowed peacefully. Goku's strength had grown steadily, his skills refined naturally through fatherhood, sparring, and daily discipline.
At the foot of a thick forest near Mount Paozu, Goku built a cozy life with Akiko and his newborn son Gohan, their laughter echoing across the hills.
But peace was always temporary.

One morning, while Rayuga was mid-training, his aura flickering gently around his body, a sharp spike of unfamiliar energy pierced through his senses.
"…Saiyan ki," Rayuga said, eyes narrowing. "No mistake."
He floated into the air, his sharp eyes scanning the sky. The energy was distant—but definitely approaching fast. He focused further—and his expression tensed slightly.
"Raditz…? He's early. Much earlier than expected…"
Just then, the familiar mechanical chime of his System echoed in his mind.
> [System Alert]
Host's arrival in this timeline has triggered Butterfly Effect.
Events may no longer follow original sequence. Please prepare accordingly.
Rayuga's eyes glinted. "So things are changing already…"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another warrior had also felt the disturbance.
Piccolo, meditating atop a lonely plateau, snapped open his eyes. His cape billowed as he stood, sensing the incoming power.
"This… isn't Goku," he muttered. "Who the hell is this?"
Moments later, in a clearing scorched by the landing of a space pod, Raditz emerged, tall and intimidating, his scouter blinking rapidly as he scanned the world.
Piccolo appeared moments later, landing on a high rock opposite Raditz.
"So," Piccolo growled, "You're the one putting out that monstrous ki."
Raditz smirked. "Tch… another low-level Earthling? Don't waste my time."
Their eyes locked. But unknown to both, Rayuga had already taken to the skies—calm, prepared, and watching from the shadows.
The storm was here. And Rayuga was ready to witness the battle.
Absolutely! Here's the next intense battle chapter between Piccolo and Raditz, followed by Goku's arrival and a twist with Rayuga observing the fight. Let's dive in:

Chapter Title: "The Battle at the Edge of Fate"
The wind howled across the barren cliffs as Raditz stood proudly, his long hair blowing behind him like a banner of war. His scouter beeped, locking onto the ki source in front of him.
Piccolo, his cape fluttering, stood tall and proud—his sharp eyes never leaving the invader.
"So, you're one of the Saiyans," Piccolo muttered, his voice cold.
Raditz smirked. "Correct. And you're the first insect that gets to witness the power of an elite."
Without warning, Piccolo fired a burst of ki straight at Raditz, exploding with a deafening boom. Smoke covered the area.
But when it cleared—Raditz was untouched.
"My turn," Raditz grinned.
He vanished in a blur.
Piccolo's eyes widened—too late. A knee slammed into his gut, followed by a backhand that sent him crashing through rock after rock.
Rayuga floated high above, arms folded, watching calmly.
He turned to Goku, who had arrived just moments earlier. Goku's eyes were wide, watching the fight unfold.
"Rayuga," Goku said urgently, "That guy's strong—who is he?"
Rayuga didn't look away from the battle. "He's called Raditz. He's a Saiyan… like Us."
Goku's face darkened. "Saiyan…?"
Rayuga said to Goku,Saiyan are from another planet far way and stronger than normal earthlings.
Rayuga nodded. "But for now… just watch. See what kind of enemy he is."
Below, Piccolo wiped blood from his mouth, gritting his teeth.
"Damn it… he's faster than anything I've fought."
He unleashed a barrage of ki blasts, followed by a spiraling beam that split the sky—but Raditz weaved through them effortlessly, then charged, slamming a powerful elbow into Piccolo's chest.
The Namekian warrior crashed hard into the dirt.
Breathing heavily, he stood again—refusing to fall.
"You're persistent," Raditz admitted. "But it's over."
He held his hand forward. A glowing orb of energy formed.
Before he could fire, a gust of wind rushed in—Goku landed between them.
"That's enough," Goku said, eyes serious.
Raditz said to Goku,Kakarot What are you doing here without completing your task and Are you here to stop me.
Raditz's scouter beeped rapidly. "You… your power level just spiked. Interesting."
"I won't let you hurt anyone else," Goku said firmly.
From above, Rayuga smiled slightly. "Looks like it's time…"
