Chapter 4: Ikari
It was night time now, Raditz had been checking the combat power of both Saibamen the whole day today.
He also did a few experiments with their muscle and bone structure, well, turns out, they are plant like lifeform for a reason.
They have a weakened version of Piccolo's regeneration, as in even if they have injuries, as long as they aren't dead and burrow into the ground with enough water and nutrition-
" They come back out with full health, how enviable, water and sunlight are enough to survive and regenerate. "
Sighed Raditz, sure he had his own plus points as a Saiyan, but he was thinking of leaving Earth in favour of Mars, there he still has to get food somehow.
" Haah, truly, the space is not a playground, the life that these guy's lead isn't for the weak minded. "
Raditz remembered the various adventures the old Raditz had, how many species he was ordered to extinguish.
Raditz was the son of Gine and Bardock, both notorious for their loving nature when compared to other Saiyans.
He being their son was also not someone with a truly evil heart, but conditions had forced Raditz to make himself tougher, he was him, he knew exactly how original Raditz felt.
" Hah, you did all you could to survive, you did well, but now I need to do better, or I might fall as well. "
Understanding his situation better with a travel down the memory lane, Raditz got up, he needed to practice.
And there were many ways for a Saiyan to gain strength.
" The obvious one is zenaki, but I can't exactly do that now, don't have a healer on standby, I will waste more time resting and healing than optimal. "
Walking out of the waterfall curtain, the cold air of the night gave him chills, didn't help that he was soaked in water.
" The second is trying to go Super Saiyan, I checked the tingling back method, didn't work in the slightest, maybe I simply don't have enough S cells. "
Shrugged Raditz, hey that was a legitimate method, it might sound really dumb but didn't hurt to try.
" I could theoretically become a super saiyan god this instant, but I don't have a whole bunch of good hearted super saiyan's around me to help. Sucks for me. "
Laughed Raditz, but he wasn't disheartened, because he had one more trick up his sleeve.
The last method he had available on hand that can push him straight to god level strengths.
" The Oozaru transformation, more precisely Broly's version of it's usage, he went from struggling against Super Saiyan Vegeta in base, to trashing Super Saiyan blue Goku using it. "
Now this wasn't as absurd as one might think, neither was this something special to him as the legendary saiyan.
No, this technique worked in the same way turning super Saiyan god worked.
" Vegeta and Goku turned gods compressing their energy many times, seven to be exact. But Broly did the same ten times! "
And exactly how did he achieve this? When a Saiyan goes Oozaru two things happen.
One their size increase to gigantic proportions.
Two their energy multiples by ten times.
" Now if they don't have a tail, but have learnt to trigger the Oozaru state by themselves, then the body wouldn't be able to grow big, but the ten times boost will still happen, it'll just be trapped within the small body. "
Snapping his fingers, Raditz concluded.
" Effectively as a mortal achieving what the god ceremony does, compression, I can do this too, all I need to do is learn how to trigger my Oozaru without a moon, Broly could do it because he regularly went great ape on Vampa. "
That's why Goku and Vegeta slimmed down as gods, and Broly bulked up using his humanoid Oozaru.
One had kept the same energy in a smaller vessel, one kept the same vessel for a larger reserve.
" Alright, there's a plan..! "
Understanding his way forward, Raditz decided to start working from the very beginning.
He was a lower class warrior, they weren't taught how to use an artificial moon or how to control their Oozaru.
Supposedly they couldn't do it, Raditz called bullshit, Goku showed throughout the series exactly what low class warriors were capable of.
" If I need training, a whole bunch of training, so he it. "
Raditz decided to go Oozaru.
For the first time on this planet, he would unleash his Oozaru, the strongest being this planet had ever seen.
But he would go slow, and look away as soon as he felt like he was starting to tansform, he didn't want to lose his mind, nobody would he able to stop him.
" Huff, here goes nothing..?"
Raditz looked at the sky with a question Mark.
" Ugh, where's the moon..? "
Meanwhile a wild Piccolo sneezed, wondering if kami was badmouthing him again for blowing up the moon.
Hey, he was innocent, Gohan was going great ape, he had to stop that somehow!
