He cried his son's name but it was useless, his son was out of his reach. The fallen man desperately, but also in frustration punched the ground under him. He couldn't believe how easily he was beaten and unable to protect his son, his only son. The young man didn't hear the voices of his close by friends, but nor did he care or even wanted to listen to them, the only thing in his mind was getting his son back. He felt anger like he never did before, how could he, his supposedly older brother took his son as a hostage and blackmail him like that! The young saiyan slowly tried to get up from the ground, but as he tried that the pain inflicted by Raditz prevented him in doing that. Before he could fall back on the ground he was caught by Krillin who tried to help his best friend stand as he talked to him

"I'm sorry Goku, but there was nothing we could do" The small human was feeling bad for not be of any help to his friend Goku or his son. If only he'd reacted quicker he could have taken the boy and fly away, but even if he did that, the other saiyan was much faster and would probably kill him for doing that. Krillin received few grunts from Goku when suddenly the young saiyan yelled

"Nimbus!" As soon he called for it, the yellow cloud appeared on the blue sky and arrived in front of Goku. The others almost immediately realized what Goku was up to and tried to reason with him and stop him from doing something foolish

"Wait a minute Goku, you can't rush like this!" Yelled Roshi who couldn't let Goku go after the saiyan all alone. They needed some kind of plan if they ever wanted to save Gohan because rushing in without any plan against someone like that was a suicide

"Roshi is right Goku! You're going to get yourself killed!" Added Bulma as she gently tried to help Goku stand on his feet only to fail because Krillin moved away from supporting Goku and instead grabbed him by his gi

"Do you think you're in any shape to fight!? Especially a monster like he!" Krillin frantically yelled at his best friend hoping he could reason with him, but then happened something he never thought he would see in Goku. The look he received from Goku was terrifying, he let go off Goku as he was forced by someone but in reality, he was scared. Out of fear few sweat drops fell from his forehead as he stared at the angered Goku who's expression resembled the same one that the other saiyan had. Krillin backed two steps away but then stopped when he saw Goku sit on the ground and stare at his hands

"I-I need to do something, I will not stay here any longer without Gohan!" Goku closed his fists as he only thought of his son and what could Raditz do to him, but then again he wouldn't hurt Gohan, he was his nephew after all. No, no matter what their relation may be he couldn't risk it, he needed to find them before something bad happens!

"Goku please wait, take a breath and think it through! You can't beat him head on like this, we need to think of something before facing him!" Pleaded the old martial artist and hoped his plea won't fell on dead ears. The young warrior considered that for a moment and realized that his ex-master was right. He wasn't strong enough to defeat Raditz, he needed some sort of plan. As he remained sitting on the ground and think of something that will give him an advantage on the battlefield Bulma talked with the others when she looked at Goku and spoke to him

"How awful to find out that you have a brother and it turns out to be a bad guy like him!" The blue haired scientist was feeling bad and sorry for her friend. She wished that it was different and not like this, it was hard for her to see him like this. Goku didn't care for that, he suddenly stood up from the ground and glanced where the yellow cloud was

"I don't care who he is, he will pay for doing something like this!" Goku spoke with a scowl on his face as he took a step forward. He didn't care if Raditz was his brother or whatever he was, he did something he shouldn't have and that is taking his son as if he meant nothing. Goku was just in front of the yellow cloud when he was once again stopped. Krillin shouted his name and questioned his actions. The more Krillin and the others talked, the more he grew annoyed with their voices which suddenly caused Goku to open his eyes wide open. What was he thinking right now!? That could never happen, he, they were his friends! But then would friends lie to you all your life and cut off your tail!? Thinking like that about his friends and taking into consideration what Raditz said started to scare him, but then again there was a small part of him which was angry at them, for lying to him. The earth strongest fighter shook his head hoping to stop his thoughts and focus his mind to think of something that will help him fight Raditz when suddenly he realized something "Tail.. His weakness is his tail if I can manage to grab it he won't be able to move!" Exclaimed Goku out loud while the others stared at his back

"That's right Goku! You had the same problem with the tail, so he shouldn't be any different!" The old man almost yelled as he agreed with the younger fighter, it was a great idea which could work to their advantage. Goku didn't say a thing and only nodded while the others behind his back argued about the plan. While Roshi was willing to go no matter what the cost may be and help Goku, Krillin, however, tried to somehow sneak out of it which irritated Goku for some reason. He didn't like that, but he couldn't stop it, was he really that bothered with them not saying anything of his true origins? Goku was soon pulled out from his thoughts to the real world as Krillin called him

"Goku, is everything ok buddy?" Asked Krillin who was worried for his best friend, but then again it was understandable why he was like that "Don't worry Goku, we will do everything we can to rescue Gohan from that abomination!" the bald man closed his fist as he tried to cheer up Goku, but as he was doing that he thought of something else "Darn it! If I die this time the dragon balls won't bring me back and I'll never get a girlfriend!"

"Hey guys, why don't we gather the dragon balls and ask Shenron to get rid of the saiyan or save the world?" Stated Bulma as she thought about that for a while. If Goku was weaker than the saiyan and could possibly die in battle, then their best bet was to ask the dragon to help them

"Bulma, you're a genius! That could work!" Krillin shouted happily across the whole island. His hopes of surviving this and getting a girlfriend might actually come true, but unfortunately, his dream was crushed by his master

"We wouldn't be able to gather them all in just one day Krillin" Explained Master Roshi as he held his staff behind his back. He could sympathize with Krillin, dying wasn't something anyone would look forward to

"He won't expect an attack.." Spoke Goku as he turned toward his friends and slowly walked in their direction "If we sneak up on him, we can catch him off guard!" He was pretty sure that Raditz won't expect them attacking him, considering how confident he was with his superior strength. So an idea of a sneak attack could work for them. Goku's idea was to meet with some doubts which again came from Krillin, but Goku didn't listen to him nor to Roshi who was talking with the smaller man. He approached close to Bulma "Do you have a dragon radar with you Bulma?"

"Huh? Y-Yes I have, but why.. Ohh I see! Gohan's hat has a dragon ball on it, doesn't it!?" Exclaimed Bulma as she realized what Goku meant and why he asked for the radar. The blue haired beauty immediately pulled out the dragon radar from her pocket and activated the radar. The radar quickly picked up the signal from the dragon ball which to their surprise moved incredibly fast when suddenly "I-It stopped!" The three of them yelled while Goku turned toward the place where the signal stopped and glared in the distant

"That's good! Don't worry Gohan, I'm coming!" Yelled Goku with a small growl emitting from him while the others in the back prepared themselves for the upcoming battle, but their preparations and departure was interrupted by someone's deep voice

"You don't stand a chance against someone like him with that pitiful group behind your back!" Said the deep voice as the owner of that voice walked closer toward Goku only to cause the others to gasp in shock

"P-Piccolo!"

Far away from Kame Island, the saiyan warrior Raditz was quickly getting tired and annoyed. The brat that was his brother son and his nephew drove him to the point to blast everything around him. The boy's nonstop wailing irritated the saiyan who couldn't believe that a child with a saiyan blood in his veins could cry like some pathetic weak creature. Raditz had enough, he stood up from the stone on which he was sitting and with a quick pace approached near the crying boy

"Stop crying boy! You have a blood of a saiyan warrior inside of you! Stop it!" Growled Raditz who's rough and loud voice forced Gohan to stop crying. The little boy was shaking in fear and wanted to cry even more, but the scary glare from this person made him reconsider. Seeing that the boy stopped, the saiyan smirked "Good, now be quite until your father arrives to join us" he turned around with intention to get something to eat. He didn't eat anything ever since he began with his trip to this mudball, but as he walked away he heard the boy talking something back to him

"M-My daddy is the s-strongest person in the world! He will b-beat you!" The little Gohan barely managed to utter the words to talk back to the mean man. He hidden himself behind the truck when he saw the older saiyan stop in his tracks. The long haired saiyan glared at Gohan with a nasty scowl until he started to laugh. Gohan didn't understand what was going on, why was this man laughing when he just told him that his daddy will beat him?

"Listen here, boy!" Spoke Raditz who with his right hand flicked the truck far away which shocked the young Gohan. The saiyan leaned closer to the boy on the ground while the boy frightened stared at him "Your father may be the strongest man in this world, well he is a saiyan after all, but outside this world are beings such as myself who are far superior to your father" Raditz smirk once again reappeared when he saw the shock in the young boy's eyes, but it was short lived when the boy started crying again

"Whaaaaa! Wahaaa! Daddy, I want my daddy!" Wailed and cried the half saiyan while the older saiyan immediately backed away and placed his hands on his ears. He couldn't stand it anymore, he had an urge to punch the boy in the face and shut him up, but then if he did that his plan of Kakarrot joining him would fail. He was left with only one choice, he grabbed the crying child by the neck and carried him as he walked toward his pod

"Fine! Since you won't shut up, I will lock you inside!" The older man growled at the boy in his hand as he shook him in the process. The boy upon realizing where he will be put into stopped and tried to beg the man to not put him inside that thing

"N-No, please I don't want to be in there all alone!"

"Be quiet! Take this as a chance to man up already, besides we will travel in this once your father arrives and joins with his people!" Concluded Raditz who opened the space pod and threw Gohan in there. The man sighed as he finally had a moment of peace while Gohan tried to punch the red glass but it was all in vain. The saiyan walked out from the crater with his thoughts back to food "Now then, to find something to eat.. Hm?" The moment he was on top of the crater the device on his face started to alert him to something close by "This is odd, I'm receiving an alert, but.. What!? A power level of 700!? And it's nearby!" Raditz was surprised to get a reading this high on this planet, he immediately followed the arrow on his device to locate from which direction did such power come from, but then "What!? The boy? No way, damned scouter now it's not the time to malfunction!" Murmured the long haired saiyan as he tapped with his index finger on the scouter in hopes to make it work right. He quickly let that go and headed towards the near forest to get himself something to eat

It didn't take long for the man from space to catch something and eat it. He was heading back to his space pod and see if the boy learned his lesson and maybe even let him out, but then suddenly his scouter was on again "This thing again? It still shows 700 for the boy's power level.. That's it, this thing is broken" Raditz turned his face away from the pod as he took a bite from the fruit he picked in the forest only to be once again interrupted by the scouter "Hmm a new reading, and it's approaching fast! No, it's two of them! One is 322 and the other is 334, the last one has Kakarrot's exact power! Is he coming here to fight me? He knows that he doesn't stand a chance and he has no idea where we are.. This thing is really broken, I'll need to change... What!? It can't be, that's Kakkarot!" Yelled the man in disbelief as he watched his younger brother flying toward him, accompanied by someone else. A scowl appeared on his face, how dared his baby brother challenge him, but then he realized something. The scouter was working properly all the time which means "The boy's power level is really 700! But that's insane, even for a saiyan child to have such reading is.." Raditz quickly pulled himself together as he heard his brother and his ally land on the ground. With a serious expression on his face, which hide his surprise of the boy power and the anger toward his brother, he turned to the two man on the other side of the field

They eyed each others, glared directly in one another eyes. The older brother took a small notice of the green man he encountered before finding his brother but he didn't care about him, he was focused only on Kakarrot. It was time for his younger brother to speak and decide, is he accepting his heritage and what he really is or, choosing to side with humans who brainwashed him and be buried on this mudball

"So.. I see you found yourself an ally, and how exactly did you find me?" Asked Raditz with a smirk on his face while he demanded to know how was his brother able to find him and so quickly. What the saiyan found amusing was the tone with which his younger brother spoke

"It doesn't matter! What only matters is for you to give back my son!" Goku shouted across the green field with anger behind his words, which even surprised Piccolo a bit. He never saw his arch enemy speak or been that angry, he almost for a moment looked like another person. Piccolo soon shifted his gaze from Goku to Raditz who gained his attention by laughing

"Ohh Kakarrot, you don't even realize how much of a saiyan you are, but let me ask you this.. Are you accepting your saiyan heritage and what you really are, or are you going to stand against me and your own people?" The long haired man crossed his arms as he asked the question with a very serious expression. He glared at Goku with that same serious expression which made the younger saiyan sweat a bit. He didn't know how to answer this, he should yell and decline his brother and what he's supposed to be, but the words never left his mouth. Goku conflicted with himself, he still thought how his friends, his supposed friends, and family lied to him all his life but.. he was cut from his thoughts when Piccolo speak

"Enough, you talk too much. I came here to fight not talk nonsense!" The reincarnation of the demon king took off his white cape and throw it away, but only to surprise Goku when it landed on the ground causing a small hole in it

"I didn't know you wore weighted clothes, Piccolo"

"You thought you were the only one? Hmp, I spent all my time training like this just to beat you and conquer this planet.." The tall Piccolo cast a glance at Goku with a smirk on his face and then shifted his gaze on Raditz "Ah, I haven't felt this light in ages"

"I see, then I better take off my too" As he started to take off his weighted clothes, Goku was quietly been observed by Raditz who noticed the jump in their power levels "Now I'm ready to fight!"

"Haha, do you honestly think this will make a difference!?" The loud laughter didn't go unnoticed by the other two "Stop with this foolish act Kakarrot, you don't stand a chance against me! Did the humans damage you so much that you're siding with your enemy? Don't you see how they are using you as their slave, their tool for upcoming threats! It's pitiful, a disgrace to our family!" In anger, Raditz uncrossed his arms and angrily raised his closed fist. He was boiling with anger, they were humiliated by some weak pathetic trash and yet his brother didn't still realize that, but it didn't matter because he was sure to make him realize that

"I-I.. N-No! They wouldn't do something like that, t-they are just.." Goku was struggling, he didn't want even think about something like that to be possible but he wasn't able to finish what he wanted because the saiyan interrupted

"Weak, they are just weak pitiful creatures who used you to get what they wanted! Did you ever thought, even for a moment that your incredible strength was only used for their desires, but then as you grow stronger than them they started to fear you, fear what you really are, a warrior who only lives for battle! You were thrilled and always searched for stronger opponents while they were probably sick of it and disgusted by your eating manners, right Kakarrot?" As he spoke Raditz slowly walked in his younger brother direction. He spoke with a calm voice and his arms wide open as he approached Goku, who stared only at the ground while his hands were on his head. Most of what his supposedly older brother said was right, they were always complaining how he isn't normal, how his eating manners are bad and some of his friends even made disgusted expressions. Goku was scared to admit all of that out loud, but this time, the words did come out, barely

"I-I.. Y-You are r-right.."

"What!? Goku do not be an idiot! He's trying to manipulate you, don't listen to him!" Piccolo yelled at Goku who was only two steps from his left shoulder. This wasn't good, if he ever wanted to conquer this world he needed to get rid of this threat, unfortunately, he needed Goku for that, but he could feel that his ally had a clouded mind and heart, which made him fear for the worst

"Will you really listen to him, your enemy and be controlled by humans who made you their puppet or join with your brother? I told you before Kakarrot, we are the same, we share the same parents and desires. I know you want to freely fight without anything holding you back and I can give you that. Come with me my brother, we will also take your son with us and train him to be a great warrior. He has the potential to be one, he is, after all, a saiyan" By the time he finished his speech Raditz was in front of Goku who took some time before he raised his head up and looked at his brother. Each word he said was right, he could finally know something about his parents, parents he thought he never had which was a lie, made by them! He could finally fight without holding back and enjoy the thrill of it, he could finally eat without anyone calling him names, but above all, he could teach his son how to fight which was his desire ever since he was told that he would be a father

"W-Will it really, be like that? W-Would I really be free?" He stared at Raditz like he was a caged animal, waiting for a permission to be finally set free. Raditz placed a hand on his brother left shoulder and nodded before he responded while Piccolo stared in shock with what was happening in front of his eyes. He could feel it, he could picture it in his head, Goku's heart and mind were covered with black fog. He needed to stop it somehow and bring his ally back

"Goku, no! Don't let him fool you, he's.." Piccolo's words were interrupted when he yelled in pain. Without even realizing he was hit by a blast which pierced through his right shoulder. As he was falling on the ground he cast a glance at the person who fired it and saw Raditz smirking

"Don't interrupt me ever again, green man!" Raditz said with a low growl as his smirk for a moment disappeared, but then returned when he looked at his younger brother who was still waiting for an answer "Yes, yes my brother you can be freed! Just imagine it Kakarrot, hundreds no, thousands of planets with so many people who could pose you a real challenge to the point to make your blood boil with excitement! But before that ,you need to do something for me"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You need to prove yourself to your people, Kakarrot. I need to see that you're capable of killing your opponent, prove it to me, prove it to the other saiyans alive and dead that you're back to the place where you belong!" His younger brother didn't say anything, instead, he just nodded which made Raditz grin and with his index finger pointed at the standing Piccolo whose shoulder had a hole in it "Start with him Kakarrot, finish the man who tried to kill you from the very beginning" The long haired saiyan moved his hand away from Goku's shoulder and let his brother turn toward Piccolo whose half closed eyes become wide open when he saw the expression on his former ally
