Monster Carrot had eaten Bulma?

[withheldforprivacy]

Scenario: Puar does not intervene fast enough. Meanwhile, believing that Goku (who is being beaten up by his men) is too severely weakened to be a threat anymore, Monster Carrot decides to eat the carrotized Bulma.

Part 1-Early DB
Both Yamcha and Goku get mad and punish Monster Carrot and his men the same way as in canon. After that, they forget about their quest for the Dragon Balls and go to train with Roshi. Krillin soon joins them.
Even if Pilaf comes after them in order to obtain Goku's dragon ball, they defeat him easily.
By the time the 21st Budokai begins, Goku/Krillin are as strong as their canon selves and Yamcha is as strong as the Ox King. Yamcha gives Roshi a much harder time in the quarter finals. As a result of this, Roshi is a little more tired during the final match, against Goku, and Goku probably wins the tournament, though that doesn't really make a diference.
The trio keeps staying with Roshi and training. Eventually, the RRA comes after them, wanting Goku's dragon ball. Even with his psychic powers, General Blue cannot defeat all four of them, so the RRA's attack is fended off.
Goku, who dislikes bad guys, decides to go to their headquarters and destroy them. At first, the others try to discourage him from doing so, but, in the end, Roshi acknowledges that the RRA will never leave them alone unless they get the dragon ball. And so, the four of them invade the RRA headquarters. Officer Black is stronger than them individually, but all of them at once are too much for him to handle, until he summons the Battle Jacket. Goku, Yamcha and Krillin stall the foe until Roshi transforms into his buff form and fires a kamehameha, thus killing Black.
3 years later, in the 22nd Budokai, Roshi and Krillin are as strong as in canon, Yamcha is as strong as the Crane Master and Goku's full power is equal to his Match Level in canon. Taopaipai participates in the tournament, taking the place of either Pamput or Man Wolf. With Tao alive, the Crane School holds no special grudge against the Turtle School, though there is still bitterness and rivalry between them.
Tenshinhan wins the tournament (without Chaozu needing to interfrere), but he has decided to have a change of heart by this point anyway. Tao and the Crane Master do not have much time to show their disapproval, since, soon, King Piccolo appears, the same way as in canon.
Goku goes after Tambourine on impulse and, since he's weaker than in canon at this point, is killed, either by Tambourine or, in the best case, by Old Piccolo later.
Roshi and Chaozu die the same way as in canon and Tenshinhan is killed by Drum later. Yamcha is the only Z fighter left alive. He trains hard for the next 3 years while the Crane Master and Taopaipai are just running and hiding.
At around the time the 23rd Budokai took place in canon, Yamcha goes to challenge Young Piccolo. Yamcha wins after a hard fight. Before dying, King Piccolo spits out an egg as in canon and the Piccolo we know is born. For a while, Piccolo Jr does not make a move.
I theorize that, during the 5 years between the 23rd Budokai and the Saiyans Saga in canon, Piccolo devoted a lot of time in developing the Special Beam Cannon. This time, he doesn't, so he has more time to train and, even though he's younger than in canon, by the time Raditz arrives, he's as strong as his Raditz Saga canon self, except he doesn't have the Special Beam Cannon.
After his brief encounter with Raditz, seeing how outmatched he is and since there is no Goku in this universe, Piccolo decides to go to Kami's place and proposes fusion. Kami accepts with a heavy heart, though his presence will eventually soften Piccolo later. In my books, this fusion makes Piccolo equal to Raditz.
Meanwhile, Raditz has gone to find Yamcha, believing that that scouter reading belongs to his brother. Seeing that it's not Goku, he gets disappointed and decides to exterminate life on the planet himself, starting with Yamcha.
Piccolo shows up and an even fight commences, Yamcha just watching, amazed. Eventually, Yamcha decides to help Piccolo and reveals to him Saiyans' weak point (I guess he found out at some point all those years he trained with Goku), so Raditz is killed. Before dying, he laughs and reveals to them that the other two Saiyans are on the way here.

Part 2- DBZ
Over the following year, Yamcha trains with Piccolo in the Kami's lookout. Taopaipai joins them too, not wanting to miss the chance to be trained by God, with the Crane Master, who looks way older than his brother, accepting he has reached his limits and therefore there is no point in training any further, so he retires and becomes a darker, less perverted version of Roshi.
One year later, Piccolo is at Initial Nappa's level, Yamcha is as strong as Tenshinhan was in canon at this point and Taopaipai is his canon 23rd TB self. Seeing that they're still no match for Nappa and Vegeta, Piccolo, thanks to the Kami in him, comes up with a trap. He talks to the two Saiyans about the Dragon Balls and lures them into the Spirit Room by making them believe the Dragon Balls are in there. Then he destroys the room's door, so the two Saiyans stay trapped in there and die.
Having heard from Vegeta and Nappa that he's a Namek, Piccolo wants to find out more about his origins, so he rides his spaceship and heads to Namek. Yamcha and Taopaipai decide to come along just because.
When they arrive there, Freeza (who has heard about the Dragon Balls from Vegeta's and Nappa's radio scouters) and his men are already there, ravaging Piccolo's homeplanet. None of them intervenes to save Dende from Dodoria, so Dende dies and then Freeza's men are just searching at random while Freeza is waiting for the new scouters. Since there is no Vegeta, Freeza is not alerted enough to call the Ginyu Forces as well.
Eventually, the Z Fighters, who can sense chi, head for the largest Namek chi on the planet and reach Guru's house. They all have their potential unlocked. Yamcha becomes as strong as Krillin in canon, Taopaipai reaches Nappa's level and Piccolo becomes as strong as his post King Kai canon self. Seeing Piccolo's power, Nail proposes assimilation so that they can beat Freeza. Piccolo accepts and becomes as strong as when he fought Freeza's second form in canon.
Drunk with this kind of power, he goes to challenge Freeza head on and kills him without giving him the chance to transform.
The Z Fighters return to Earth, where, 3 years later, they are all killed by the Androids.

The goal of the journey then becomes to bring Bulma back to life as normal, with the group still being captured by Pilaf and Oolong making that wish instead of wishing for panties. Things go near enough the exact same to as in canon. Yamcha and Bulma's relationship may take a little longer to fully blossom, though it's not as if it would amount to much in the long run anyway.

How do they do that without the radar? If I recall right, Bulma was carrying it when she was carrotized.

She was never shown placing it inside any part of her new outfit (which didn't seem like it had anywhere to place it anyway), so it can be logically deduced she kept it in the case containing the Dragon Balls until it needed to be used later.
