It was a time of peace on the blue planet known as Earth. Five years have passed since the World Martial Arts Tournament and the fierce battle between Goku and the evil Piccolo Jr. It was an important battle for planet Earth and it's inhabitants, a battle between good and evil. The battle ended with Goku victorious, who finally won the title of the strongest man on Earth and beat the reincarnation of the Demon King Piccolo. Shocking everyone who was there, Goku spared Piccolo Jr. life even tho Kami, the good part of Piccolo protested against that, but the decision was already made by Goku. Everybody enjoyed this time of peace, even tho some still continued to train not willing to risk that much since Piccolo was alive and could attack them at any moment, but the attack from the evil Piccolo never came and the world was at peace for the last five years. That was until a strange object crash landed on the beautiful planet which set off the troublesome events that were about to occur. The unidentified object crashed not too far from a nearby farm and the farmer who was working on the field at the moment. Shocked and curious to know what exactly crashed near his farm, the farmer quickly entered inside his truck and drove to the place where the object crashed. It didn't take too long for the farmer to arrive at the crashing site and stopped his truck. He got out of his truck wearing a straw hat on his head and with a rifle in his left hand, to protect himself if needed. The farmer took few steps forward until he reached the edge and looked inside the hole that was on the ground

"Th-his is incredible!" Said the farmer who was surprised by the big hole. He could see the object that landed a lot better and he could tell that wasn't what he at first thought "N-Nope, it's not a meteor" The farmer wondered what that really was and even thought of climbing down and investigate the strange object when suddenly a noise was heard from the hole. The farmer carefully watched the thing inside the hole when he noticed that the object was opening which made him nervous. The object fully opened after only a few seconds when something or rather someone emerged from the round thing. Before he could even see what it was that emerged from the round object he was surprised when he saw a very tall person in front of him. Scared, he took one step backward and immediately pointed his rifle at the tall man who didn't seem like a friendly person

"So this world inhabitants are still alive.. Damn you, Kakarrot" The tall man said it quietly but with an angry tone in his voice. The tall man glanced at the scared farmer in front of his eyes which made him smirk. He moved his left hand and pressed a button on the strange device which was on his face. The device made some noise when finally revealed some numbers and strange letters on it. "A power level of only 5? What a planet" Spoke the man mockingly as he walked toward the farmer who again stepped away, but this time, he warned the tall man

"S-Stay back! I'm warning you!" Yelled the farmer who's hands started to shake in fear of the man in front. The tall man didn't take his threats seriously and continued with his slow approach until he was a step away from the farmer who, afraid for his life let out a yell "Whaaa!" and fired with his rifle at the man in front. The stranger quickly moved his hand and caught the bullet before it hit him right in the head. The farmer had his eyes wide open because of what just happened, he was scared of the look the man had on his face while he pointed with his hand toward him "Ahhh, N-No!" The farmer squealed before the tall man fired the bullet back at its owner who was hit direct in the head and fell to the ground dead

"Hm. A planet filled with weaklings" Said the tall man who was disgusted by what he saw thus far. The man's attention was caught by his device who suddenly started to make some noise. The stranger glanced at the small green monitor which showed him something that might be the reason why he was here "Someone powerful is close by.. Is that you, Kakarrot!?" Questioned the tall man out loud and flew into the sky, toward the place from where he picked this power

He was just standing there, on the cliff and observing the rocky wasteland in which he trained and perfected his skills which he was to use against his enemy, Goku. He wanted to kill the man for what he did to his father and for beating him in the tournament, but there was a little doubt deep inside his head. He couldn't understand why did Goku not finish him when he had the chance, was he really that stupid and naive to think that he will change his ways because of that? or did he spare him only to fight against him again? As his white cape waved in the wind, he suddenly felt something, something he never felt in his life

"What's this!? I-I never felt something so powerful and it's approaching fast! Could it be Goku!?" Yelled Piccolo who was facing toward the place from where he felt such high power. After only a few seconds he could see someone approaching, but he couldn't see who exactly was until it landed in front of him. He observed the man in front and that was not Goku, but the power he felt was unreal and higher than Goku's. He snapped from his thoughts when the man in front mumbled something

"Feh. You're not Kakarrot" Said the tall stranger who wasn't pleased by this. He hoped that he had found Kakarrot, but instead he found a green bean in a middle of nowhere. He could tell that the green man in front of him wasn't human, but he didn't have the time to think about that

"And who are you? Do you have any business with me?" Asked Piccolo who didn't know who this Kakarrot is and he really didn't care. This guy just interrupted him and he was going to pay if he didn't answer it carefully

"Not with the likes of you" Answered the man who's patience was growing thin as the one in front of his eyes kept asking questions which were none of his business. Piccolo was also starting to lose patience with this stranger who just out of nowhere appeared here and glared at him

"Then why are you here!? Dou you have a death wish!?" Piccolo was at the end of his nerves what caused him to speak toward the stranger with a raised voice which amused the tall man who let a low chuckle

"Heh, you're a feisty one, aren't you.." Said the tall stranger who placed his left index finger on his device and pressed the red button "A power level of 322. That's more than I expected to find on this rock, but you're nothing compared to me" Finished the man with a chuckle as he lowered his hand while Piccolo angerly shouted at him

"What did you say!? Do you know who you're talking to!?" Yelled Piccolo who couldn't ignore the words and the disrespect that came from the man in front of him. He angerly gritted his teeth while the man just smirked

"Should I care?" Asked the tall stranger who kept smirking, assured in his supremacy against this green man who was mad at the man in front. He wanted to kill him for the words he said to him, the reincarnation of evil which was feared by every single being on this planet. He kept glaring at the smirking man angerly, but there was still something holding him back from attacking this stranger

"Could he really have that kind of power?" Piccolo questioned that inside his head as he angerly clenched his fists. Even tho he was still doubting the person power, he had enough of that smirk and decided to risk it. Piccolo let out a loud roar as he placed his right hand in front and fired a blast. The blast hit the stranger head on and caused the area around him to be covered with dust, but as the dust slowly cleared Piccolo was shocked when he realized that there was not even a scratch on the man

"That was a nice dust show if that was your intention" Spoke the tall man as he passed with right hand below his nose while Piccolo stared at the stranger with his eyes fully opened "I guess it's my turn now. Would you like to see true strength?" Asked the man who was slowly raising his right hand above the head while Piccolo trembled in fear and couldn't move away. Piccolo waited for the worst to come when suddenly he heard something, there was a sound coming from the stranger device. The tall man smirk disappeared and was replaced with a serious expression "An even greater power is nearby!" The tall stranger said it out loud and immediately flew in the sky which surprised Piccolo who could barely follow his movement. While Piccolo remained on the ground, the tall man looked toward the place where his device indicated the location of the higher power level "There it is, in that direction the strongest power level on this planet. Could it be Kakarrot?" The stranger didn't waste any second and blasted toward the place where he located the strong power level. Seeing that the powerful stranger had left in a hurry, Piccolo dropped on his knees and breathed heavily while sweat was covering his face

"U-Unbelievable! I-I was frozen in fear!" Piccolo barely said the words between his heavy breathing and cursed inside his head for letting the stranger see that he was scared of him. The reincarnation of the Demon King Piccolo soon stood on his feet and glanced toward the place where the powerful stranger flew, with a decision to follow the stranger and maybe kill him, if he had the chance

Just at the same time, far away from the wasteland, Goku set foot on the small island, but he wasn't alone. In his hands was a little boy clinging to his clothes as his brown monkey-like tail hang over his right arm. With a smile on his face, he assured the little boy that there is nothing to be afraid of and called his friends which were supposed to be inside the small house. When he called them, the ones who were inside immediately recognized the voice and walked outside the house only to be somehow surprised to see Goku with a kid in his arms

"Goku, who's the kid?" Asked Bulma as she approached her friend which she didn't see in the last five years. She missed him greatly and it was nice to see him again after such a long time, but it confused her to see him with a child. Before Goku could even answer her question Krillin walked close to him and greeted his best friend

"Hey Goku, did you start babysitting or something?" Asked Krillin who greeted his best friend with a smile as he took a better look at the boy in his friend arms which resembled someone he knew

"Nah, he's my son" The moment Goku uttered those words Krillin, Bulma and Master Roshi who just walked out from the house yelled in shock after Goku said that. They couldn't believe that Goku was a father, it was hard to absorb that. While his friends were still trying to process that, Goku put his son on the ground and smiled at the small boy "Say hi, son" Whispered Goku to his son who was little bit shy, but, in the end, spoke to his father friends

"Good afternoon" Spoke the small boy as he bowed his head to the others who were a bit taken aback, but they snapped from that and did the same

"Uhm, good afternoon" Said Bulma as she and the others bowed their heads which made the small boy smile and ease up a bit. They raised their heads and smiled at the young boy when Goku spoke

"His name is Gohan" Announced Goku who stood tall as he told them the name he had chosen for his son. The one who caught that was Master Roshi who immediately thought of another person who went by that name

"Gohan? You named him after your late grandpa?" Asked the old martial artist who was sure that the old Gohan would be proud of Goku and his son. Goku confirmed it with a nod which made the old master smile but still "This is a surprise! I mean, Goku with a child of his own" Roshi said it quietly only for Bulma and Krillin to hear who were still processing that Goku has a child. Bulma decided to let the surprise slide away as she approached the small Gohan and kneel in front of the boy

"And how old are you Gohan?" Asked Bulma with a smile on her face while Gohan grabbed his father orange pants, a bit afraid of all the new faces that were around him, but the boy was taught to behave politely in front of the others and answered her question even tho he was a bit scared

"I-I'm four years old"

"He's got some pretty good manners, considering he's your kid" Said Bulma as she gently patted the boy's head who was shy about that and moved his head away only to make Bulma smile

"Yeah, Chi-Chi is fussy about that" Goku said it through the laugh as he glanced at his son and smiled at the boy who was holding tight to him. Bulma was considering standing up when she noticed something behind the boy's back. She took a better look at the boy when she saw the brown tail waving behind his back

"A-A tail!?" Squealed Bulma which caught the attention of Roshi and Krillin who approached them and cast a better look

"Yeah! Just like the one I used to have" Goku was happy for some reason that his son was born with a tail. He didn't know why, but he felt proud when he saw his son with a tail. Sometimes he really missed his tail and wished that he could have it back, but he sacrificed the tail for the Earth. Goku snapped from his little daydreaming when Bulma called his name and asked him a question he didn't quite understand "Odd? What do you mean odd? asked the world strongest fighter who was confused by her question until Roshi appeared in front of him with a worried expression

"Does he ever change during a full moon?" Asked Master Roshi his once-pupil while the others sweated in fear from behind and waited for Goku's answer. Goku didn't quite understand what they were asking him, but there was something inside his mind which was related to this, yet he didn't know what and he decided to let it slide away

"Full moon? No, we go to bed pretty early" Answered Goku on which Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin ease up a bit, but then it was Goku who asked them a question "Why? Is there something wrong about the full moon?" Asked Goku who immediately caused the other to nervously deny anything related to that

"Oh, i-it's nothing! It doesn't matter Goku!" Denied Roshi as he waved with his two hands while Goku questionably looked at his former master. There was something telling him that they were hiding something from him, but he was brought back to reality when Krillin walked near him

"So is he, strong like you? Asked Krillin his best friend as he tapped the little boy's head while a small drop of sweat fell across his left cheek. Krillin didn't need to wait too long for an answer because this was something that bothered Goku a lot, but he just hides it in front of his wife

"Well, that's the thing. I know he has it in him, but Chi-Chi gets mad when I try to train him" Answered Goku who really wanted to train his own son and he just didn't get along with his wife decisions. He knew, he could almost feel the potential inside his son, but Chi-Chi didn't let him train which was something that upset him greatly. Chi-Chi's decisions surprised even Bulma and Krillin while Roshi laughed at that. While Goku remained with his almost sad expression, Bulma noticed the four-star dragon ball on Gohan's hat and talked over with Goku and the others about their adventures. They smiled and laughed at the memories they shared, until the moment Goku felt something, something that was unknown to him, but at the same time..

"What is it Goku? What's the matter?" Asked Krillin who first noticed that something bothered his best friend

"Something's on its way here, something strong!" Declared Goku who nervously sweated as he continued to feel a strong power that was approaching them. He locked his senses on this power while the others didn't feel or see anything coming

"Huh? I don't see anything" Said Krillin who looked up in the sky, but saw nothing and couldn't feel nothing approaching them

"It better not be Yamcha" Added Bulma who was still angry at her boyfriend after they had their little fight and didn't want to see his face now. Unlike them, Goku was able to feel it clearly without any problems

"What an incredible power! I can barely believe what I'm feeling!" Thought the world strongest fighter while two drops of sweat fell over his forehead. His eyes were wide open when he felt the power right above them "There!" Yelled Goku as his eyes saw the small dot in the sky grow bigger. The others glanced up in the sky, but it was too late since the owner of that strong energy was already in front of them, with his boots on the island. The unexpected visitor with a serious expression looked directly toward Goku, who was a bit intimidated by this person. The tall stranger changed his expression and smirked toward Goku who had a feeling something of great importance was about to happen

"So we finally get to meet, again. You've certainly grown, but I could still recognize you at first glance. You look just like your father" Spoke the tall stranger who for an instant relived the memories of the past, but he quickly shut them away as he stared at Goku. The others and Goku were very confused by this man and the stuff he said, but the man continued "Kakarrot! What's the condition of this planet? You were supposed to exterminate this species! What have you been doing all these years?" Asked the tall stranger who left Goku speechless. He didn't understand anything this man was talking to him, who was this Kakarrot? Did he mistake him for someone else? And what did he mean by exterminating? While Goku was asking himself those questions, Krillin walked toward the tall man with a laugh

"Look, big guy. I don't know who you are and where you're from, but we don't need any drunks like you around here" Said Krillin as he approached the tall stranger who didn't bother with the little man walking toward him and still kept his eyes on Goku. Krillin was just a few steps away from him when he gestured with his hand to the man to leave "So get on! Go! Shoo! Scream!"

"Krillin! Don't get clo-" Goku tried to warn his friend to not get any closer to this man, but it was too late. Krillin was smacked across the face and sent crashing into the Kame House. Goku quickly glanced toward the crashed Krillin and then back toward the tall man only to be shocked by what his eyes saw "A-A tail!? Y-You have a tail! Just like the one I used to have!" Yelled Goku who couldn't believe that there was someone with a tail like him or his son. He thought that he was the only one to have it

"Heh, looks like you finally figured out who I am" Chuckled the tall stranger who was pleased that he finally found the person he looked for. He was, at first, afraid that Kakarrot was dead, but now seeing him here all grown up, made him at ease

"What do you mean?" Asked Goku the stranger who confusingly glanced at the person in front of his eyes and for a moment thought that Kakarrot was toying with him and if he was, he would pay it greatly

"Stop joking around! You couldn't have forgotten about me or your mission!" The tall stranger raised his voice at Goku who still didn't understand what did this man want with him. The tall man could see the confusion on his face which made him wonder if, "What's wrong with you, Kakarrot? Did you take a blow to the head!?" he asked

"Look, I have no idea who this Kakarrot is! My name is Goku!" Yelled Goku who nervously clenched his fists. He didn't know anybody by that name and why was this tall, long haired guy addressing him with that name. Kakarrot, the more he thought about that name the more he couldn't not to think about something that was deep inside his mind, out of his reach

"Answer my question! Did you or did you not hit your head!?" The stranger yelled back at Goku who was a bit intimidated by the rough voice, but he didn't let it be shown. He placed his left hand over his head and could feel the scar that remained there since he was very young

"It's true, I do have a scar. Maybe I hit my head once, but I was too little to remember" Goku answered the stranger question calmly while he stared at the man. The tall man in front of his eyes had a shocked expression on his face, but that was soon replaced with a scowl

"Damn you! But that would expla-" The long-haired man had his fists closed in anger as he realized what happened to the person he searched all this time. His sentence was cut off by Goku who didn't care that he interrupted him

"Explain what!? I have no idea what are you talking about!" Goku yelled once again at the man. He wanted some answers, now that he caused all this confusion. The taller man was ready to shout back at Goku, but he was interrupted by Master Roshi who knew what happened. The old martial artist caught the attention of the two men, who glanced at the man who started explaining some things

"Listen Goku! Your grandfather once told me about the time he found a baby in the woods; a baby with a tail. He had a violent nature and couldn't seem to be tamed" The old man started with his story which caused Goku to sweat nervously, he was smart enough to figure it out that it was about him, but he couldn't believe that he was violent. The stranger continued to listen to the old man and waited for the real part of the story "That is until that baby fell down a ravine and hit his head. The boy nearly died, but somehow managed to survive. When he woke up his violent nature was gone and grew into a kind-hearted boy" Roshi finished with his explanation which left Goku shocked while the other man spat at that

"Kind!?" Said the stranger that particular word out loud and with disgust while Goku tried to accept the fact that he was once violent, it didn't seem possible, but then why did he had a feeling that it was true. Goku glanced at his ex-master so he could confirm that it was him "And that baby was me?"

"Yes" Roshi simply answered the question while Goku looked on the ground with his fists closed. He couldn't believe that he learned about that just now, why didn't Master Roshi or his grandpa told him that before? Maybe there were some memories precious to him before he fell and lost them. Goku kept thinking about that until Bulma, who had Gohan in her arms spoke

"But what does that mean? Are Goku and this guy somehow connected?" Asked Bulma as she held Gohan in her arms who was scared of the tall man and hide in Bulma's arms. Goku immediately turned over and looked at the long haired man only to be surprised by his angry expression. He didn't get it, why was he angry? Goku tossed that away and glared at the man

"Alright, answer me! Who are you and what do you want from me!?" Goku sent a fierce glare toward the long-haired man who was amused by the look in his eyes. He suppressed his amusement and once again his serious expression appeared

"Be warned, if you have any repressed memories in there, I'll find a way to resurface them!" Declared the tall stranger while he wrapped his tail around his waist and continued "We need you Kakarrot, your people need you" The atmosphere tensed a lot as the man began to talk, but only to be interrupted by Krillin who finally managed to walk out from the hole he made in Kame House. As he walked by he didn't notice the annoyed glare that the tall man sent to him, but he did hear Goku asking for his condition

"Are you ok, Krillin?" Asked Goku who cast a quick glance at Krillin who walked by with his hand on his bald head where a bloodied bruise was located. Krillin looked at his best friend and Roshi and assured them that everything was alright even tho he didn't know how he survived that

"Goku be careful! This guy is incredibly powerful!" The small Krillin warned his friend who already knew how strong this man in front of him was, he could sense it since the moment he felt him. He didn't know how, but he could feel something that tied him to this long haired man and he wanted to learn what

"I know. Just looking at him gives me chills and I never felt that way before" Said Goku who stared at the taller man in front when suddenly the stranger yelled at him

"That's because you and I are the same! You're no earthling! You're a Saiyan warrior! A member of the most powerful race in the universe!" Shouted the stranger with pride as he revealed the information about Goku's real identity. All of them were shocked to hear that Goku was not from Earth, that he was an alien from space. Goku stared at the man with his eyes wide open but the stranger was not over yet, there was another important information "And my name is Raditz, your older brother!". Goku was out of words, he couldn't hear Krillin and Bulma talking behind his back by how much he was shocked. He just heard that he was not from Earth and that this man was his brother, that was surely some mistake. But even tho he kept thinking like that there was something inside of him telling that it was the truth, yet he couldn't accept it

"Stop, Stop talking nonsense!" Goku barely managed to utter the words and yell at the long haired man who had a prideful smirk across his face. Goku was backed up by Krillin who couldn't accept that and tried to find something to argue against what the man said

"Yeah! If Goku is from outer space, what's he doing on Earth!?" Krillin yelled at the stranger who had a sudden urge to kill the little bald one for interrupting his conversation with his long lost brother which he had finally found, but he controlled himself and decided to answer the question

"Heh, the answer is simple. Kakarrot you were sent here to exterminate this planet's species. Not only are we Saiyans a universally renowned warrior race, we'are also an entrepreneurial one. We find hospitable planets and sell them to other species for a price, but before we can sell a planet, we need to exterminate the native lifeforms" The words which came out from Raditz mouth only keep shocking the humans in front of him while his brother remained quiet, with his head lowered. The long haired saiyan only smirked at the afraid faces of the humans and continued with his explanation "When a saiyan warrior is fully grown, he is assigned to the more difficult world's with powerful people, while the children are sent to depopulate the weaker ones like this one! It was fortunate that this planet has a moon; you'd have wiped out everyone here in the span of few years. If you remembered your mission, that is" Raditz was finished with the explanation of his and Goku's race which he was greatly proud of

"If this is true, then these things, they make Piccolo look harmless" Krillin was sick and at the same time terrified of this man and his race, saiyans. They needed to think of something fast and get rid of this man, he was a threat to all humankind. While Krillin was thinking of a way to get rid of this man, Goku raised his head and, after all, he heard, he didn't understand what kind of role did the moon have to do

"Hold on, why is it "Fortunate" that this planet has a moon?" Goku asked the question as he looked at his supposed older brother. He didn't want to accept what he really was, but in front of him was someone related to him, a brother. He always thought that didn't exist, that he was alone in this world, but finally, someone appeared before him that was related to him and what he learns, that he comes from the race that kills innocents for payment. He could never accept that, right?

"Don't play ignorant, Kakarrot! Only when the moon is full we saiyans show our true power!" Raditz spilled it out with a grin on his face when the humans recognized about what he was talking. The imagine of a wild ape crossed their minds which made them tremble. The long haired saiyan grin was short lived when Goku yelled at him

"I have no idea what are you talking about? What power!?" Asked Goku who was slowly getting annoyed, but mostly because his head that hurt. Ever since this Raditz person arrived here and started talking about his past, their relationship, the place where the scar was located hurt. It hurt as if it tried to prevent him from remembering the stuff from his own past, the moments such as before he arrived on Earth

"What!? I-It can't be! Your tail, where is your tail Kakarrot!?" Raditz shouted angerly at his younger brother who immediately snapped from his thoughts and glanced at the angered man. He placed a hand on the spot where once his tail was and talked to his brother

"It was cut off a long time ago, why?" Goku was taken aback by the sudden outburst, it was as if he did something that he should've done

"You fool! No wonder that you blend in with them! Don't you see, they tricked you Kakarrot! They were scared of you!" Raditz yelled with a loud growl as he pointed at the humans behind his brother who squealed when he did that "Look how afraid they are! The man who found you was scared because he couldn't tame you and thus, dropped you in a ravine so you would've died, but what happened was even worse because you became their slave! My own brother!" Raditz was mad, his fist was almost bleeding by how strongly he clenched it. He wanted to kill the humans for what they did, they humiliated their whole family with this. He needed to bring his brother to his senses, no matter the cost

"L-Lies, those are lies! They would never do something like that!" Goku couldn't believe what the long haired man was saying. There was no possible way that his grandpa did that to him, all of them were nice with him

"Yeah, Goku tell him! There is no way we would do something bad to Goku! He's better like this than what you saiyans are!" Yelled Krillin as he angerly waved with his left hand only to earn a deadly glare from Raditz

"Shut up! Tell me Kakarrot, why was your tail cut off?" Asked Raditz who glanced from the bald human who immediately shut up, toward his young brother who was confused by the question, but answered it anyway

"It was cut off years ago by Kami! He said as long a had the tail, the moon couldn't be restored!" Goku answered the question which was followed by another outburst from Raditz

"You simple minded fool! Whoever this Kami is, he tricked you like the rest! Our tails have only one connection to the moon, to let us transform in our Oozaru form!" Shouted Raditz who took a step forward and grabbed Goku by the collar of his gi. He leaned his head close to his younger brother who was surprised by the fast move and with mixed feelings stared at his older brother strong face "They deliberately lied to you because they saw you, they saw you transform into the giant ape during the full moon! If you don't believe me, then take a look at their scared faces!" The older saiyan finished with a growl as he released his brother and pointed at Krillin, Roshi, and Bulma. Goku didn't know what to do and when he turned toward his friends he was able to see it, their scared expression. He shifted his eyes toward his master, searching for a denial, but what he saw was guilt. It was then when some words from Raditz sank in, the full moon, transformation, a giant ape, it was as if he heard something about that or as if he relieved that moment at some point but that was all a foggy memory. He stood up from his one knee and looked at his ex-master once again

"M-Master Roshi, the monster that crushed the World Martial Arts Tournament arena was me, right? Bulma, when we were stuck in Pilaff's castle, I transformed and crushed it, right?" Asked Goku with a cracked voice, with almost no emotions behind it. As nobody give him the answer right away he continued "And the monster who killed grandpa was, me!" Concluded Goku who desperately placed his hands on his head as he figured out everything, but what hurt him the most was that his friends didn't tell him. Why? Were they really afraid of him? Did Kami really lied to him and cut off his tail on purpose?! His head remained in his hands when he asked a question that was for all of them "Why? Why didn't any of you tell me!?"

"G-Goku-" That was all that Bulma managed to say, she didn't know what to say to her friend since it was her idea at the first place to not tell Goku that he transformed into an ape

"Goku, my boy. We didn't want to hurt your feelings, we didn't want you to feel responsible for Gohan's death" Roshi said with a sad tone in his voice as he looked away from Goku, he knew what they did was wrong, but it was because of this that he never intended to tell Goku the truth

"Master Roshi is right Goku! We didn't want you to think that you are a monster! You're one of us!" Assured Krillin who tightened his fists as he looked at Raditz. In Krillin's mind, it was Raditz fault that his friend was in such a state, but he quickly shifted his gaze back to his friend who stood up from the ground, without saying a word

"A monster" The word repeated itself inside his head. No matter what they said, that monster was a part of him. He kil-. Before Goku was able to think further he was called to the real world by his brother rough voice

"It's not only a part of you, Kakarrot! It's what makes a saiyan warrior!" Shouted Raditz from behind his back. Goku's eyes shut wide open, how did this man who was supposedly his older brother knew what he was thinking "A saiyan is a hunter who thrives for battle! Every time you fought or hunted a pray, you did feel the thrill of it, right brother? You wanted to fight more, to hunt more, you enjoyed it! I saw it in your eyes brother, the fire of a true saiyan warrior! Come with me and join with your people Kakarrot, we need you!" Stated the long haired saiyan who caused Goku to turn around and look at him with his eyes wide open. Every word he said was right, he enjoyed those moments and he wished to fight opponents stronger than himself otherwise he would be bored. This realization started to scare Goku who was lost. Raditz could see on his brother that he was confused, torn between what he really was and what others made him be. A small smirk appeared across Raditz face, he knew he could win Kakarrot over, it was only a matter of time

"Don't listen to him Goku! He's trying to trick you!" Yelled Krillin who was feeling as he was losing his best friend and suddenly shouted his name "You helped this world many times, remember!? You stopped the R. R. Army, you beaten King Piccolo and also defeated Piccolo Jr. you saved this world!" Krillin was almost left without a voice because of how much he yelled. He thought that could bring Goku over if he was by any chance thinking otherwise, but then Raditz also had something to say

"Tell me, Kakarrot. How did you feel after you defeated them? How did you feel after you ended up victorious and killed your opponents?" Asked Raditz who walked to his brother and leaned close to his right ear and then whispered "You felt, unstoppable! You enjoyed beating them! You love to fight, it's the only thing you think of! You want to fight more! You want to fight stronger beings and I can give you that! It's in our blood, baby brother. Don't forget we share the same blood, the same parents, we are one!" After he finished, Raditz backed away and said the next stuff out loud "You will come with me Kakarrot, but to prove yourself to me and your people, I want you to kill one hundred humans! Do that and we will regroup with the rest of our race!" Raditz condition shocked not only Krillin, Roshi, and Bulma, but even Goku. He may have come to an agreement with what he really was after what Raditz said, but killing someone innocent only to prove something? Never, he couldn't do that! He's not a killer!

"N-No! I will not do as you say!" Yelled Goku who looked at his older brother who wasn't pleased by the answer he was given "I may be everything that you said, but I will never harm an innocent person!"

"So even after everything they did to you, you still protect them!? You miserable fool!" Growled the long haired saiyan who suddenly disappeared from the place he was standing. Goku was shocked, he didn't see him move at all! He tried to locate the tall saiyan, but it was too late. He received a strong knee in the gut, which sent him to fly to the other side of the island and land in the sea

"Goku!" Everyone yelled at the same time, worried about their friend. They never saw Goku gasping for air after only one attack. Goku was in pain, he tried to catch a breath, but it hurt too much. While everyone remained frozen by fear, the small boy, Gohan ran over to his father only to catch attention from Raditz who grabbed the kid by his shirt. He observed the boy in his hand until a smirk appeared on his face. He had an idea how to convince his younger brother to come to his senses

"This boy is a saiyan!" Said Raditz while the young Gohan started to cry for his father help, but none arrived "Well, only half but that will do. Now then, Kakarrot! I'll be taking your son with me. If you want him unharmed, do as I said! I'll give you a full earth day to choose wisely.. When you decide to join us, and you will decide to, I'm going to need a little proof of your good intentions" Raditz shifted his eyes toward his lying brother. He didn't like to see his only brother humiliated like this, but it needed to be done, it was the only way. He looked straight in his younger brother eyes "It's simple Kakarrot, kill the humans who turned you against what you really are and you will join with me and your son together with the rest of our race! Don't make me hurt my only nephew, Kakarrot!" Yelled Raditz who was already high in the sky with the crying Gohan in his hands. Raditz blasted away from the island while Goku screamed his son name
