AU Chapter 9


 * Frieza eradicates the Saiyans and their homeworld, and in turn is assassinated by his older brother, Cooler, who observes the destruction from afar.
 * Krillin trains with Master Roshi, Korin, Kami, King Kai, and is given the Potara Earrings to fuse with Master Roshi, becoming immortal and able to battle foes such as King Piccolo, Cooler, Dr. Gero, and Dabura.
 * Yamcha trains with Master Roshi, Kami, and is transformed into Android 17 by Dr. Gero, though he rebels from his programming and maintains himself as a martial artist and a machine.
 * Tien trains with Master Shen, Kami, King Kai, and has his inner potential awakened by Guru on Namek. He was resurrected after the battle with King Piccolo.
 * Videl trains with Krillin the Turtle Hermit, learning how to control her energy. She is taught to use the Kaioken, the Kamehameha Wave, and even manages to retrieve the Z-Sword and train with it on Planet Kaioshin.


 * Tien defeats Mercenary Tao in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
 * Krillin defeats the Red Ribbon Army on his own after training with Master Roshi and Korin.
 * Krillin drinks the Ultra Divine Water, then teams up with Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Master Roshi to battle King Piccolo and his henchmen. Piccolo is defeated, but Krillin and Tien sacrifice their lives doing so, the latter casting the Mafuba spell to imprison Piccolo inside of a rice cooker.
 * The Guardian of Earth offers Krillin and Tien the opportunity to train with King Kai and himself, warning them about the imminent threat of an alien approaching the Earth called a Saiyan.
 * Vegeta arrives on Earth alone and dispatches Saibamen to do the dirty work; Yamcha is severely injured while defending a city and is kidnapped by Dr. Gero.
 * Roshi and Bulma use the Dragonballs to revive Krillin and Tien, now that they have powered up using King Kai's training, and the two of them fend off the Saibamen and take advantage of Vegeta's tail to kill him.
 * Krillin, Tien, Bulma, and Chiaotzu voyage to a planet called Namek to use their Dragonballs. On Namek, Guru unlocks the true potential of the Z-Fighters that they use to battle Cooler.
 * The Z-FIghters return to Earth and encounter Cyborg Yamcha and Doctor Gero. Yamcha rebels against his programming and instead cripples Dr. Gero's efforts.
 * Supreme Kai and Kibito end up on Earth and are assisted by Krillin, Videl, Yamcha, and Tien in stopping the resurrection of Majin Buu by Dabura and Babidi.
