The two saiyans were flying for quite some time already and in complete silence. Goku was flying slightly behind Raditz, thinking about what happened only fifteen minutes ago. There was still a small amount of doubt in his mind, doubt if what he was doing right now was the right thing, but every time he cast a look at his brother the doubt vanished. His brother told him to bury humans emotion otherwise it would cost him his life, but he couldn't but feel glad that Raditz was here and opened his eyes. He showed him what he really was, a saiyan not a human. The younger saiyan expression darkened and gritted his teeth at the word human, he despised them. With every second that he thought of what they did to him and how he was used, Goku's energy without him even noticing started to swell. This, of course, caught Raditz attention who's scouter started to display his younger brother's power level. The long haired saiyan glanced back at his brother with only his right eye and found himself amused. The very expression his brother displayed right now was the same of an every rage-filled saiyan, ready to kill. At the exact moment a smirk formed on Raditz's face, the older saiyan had something rather interesting on his mind which involved his younger brother, but that was on the wait list, for now. They first needed to form a plan about the little half saiyan that was in his arms. The young Gohan was held in his uncle's strong hands while he was still unconscious. As they flew, Raditz finally found an adequate place for them to land

"This place looks good enough" Spoke Raditz loud enough to catch Goku's attention and snapped him out of his thoughts. The younger man didn't say a thing and just followed his older brother who was slowly descending on the ground. The two saiyans landed in a deserted area surrounded by mountains and a large forest not so far from them. As he looked around, Goku spotted a small lake when he saw Raditz walk towards it. The saiyan was confused for a bit until he saw his brother toss the child into it. The confused state quickly changed into shocked one as he stared at his sinking son. With worry overflowing, Goku ran towards his son, but only to be stopped by Raditz hand

"What are you doing!? He's gonna drown..." Goku yelled at his brother with anger as he violently grabbed the older saiyan by his left shoulder. The older saiyan just chuckled at his brother outburst while he observed his nephew sinking as the bubbles appeared on the surface. Two seconds later the young half saiyan emerged from the lake grasping for air. Goku was relieved to see his son alive and well which caused his anger to disappear, but still continued to glare at his brother as he walked towards his son who seemed scared

"D-Daddy!? W-Where are you!?" Cried Gohan as he quickly looked left and right, but no sign of his father anywhere. The little boy began to wail as tears fell down his cheeks which greatly annoyed the long haired saiyan. Thankfully to Goku, Gohan stopped from crying and hugged his father who returned the hug and smiled

"Shhh, don't worry Gohan. Everything is over and the bad man is gone, thanks to you" Goku patted his son's back gently as he softly spoke to his son who with a confused expression looked at his father. The boy didn't quite understand how was he of any help to his father, and where were they exactly? He knew this wasn't the same place from before and where is the other guy? Gohan's attention was soon caught by the gruff voice from behind

"Would you stop cuddling the brat, I don't want him to grow softer than what he already is, thanks to you!" Raditz's gruff voice caught the attention of both Goku and Gohan who looked directly at the taller saiyan. While Goku stared at his brother and simply nodded because he as well shared the same opinion, Gohan began to shake in fear. He was scared of the man who easily noticed the fear and smirked on which Goku released a low growl

"Gohan, you don't need to be afraid of Raditz, he's your uncle" Goku tried to assure his son that they were safe and that was nothing to worry about anymore. Gohan glanced back at his father with a surprised look on his young face. It seemed what he heard from his father before was correct, this man was indeed his uncle. The young half saiyan eased up a bit, but that wasn't going to last for too long

"Enough of this! We have much more important things to discuss, such as... the boy's power" Exclaimed Raditz as he slowly approached the two saiyans in the lake and stared at the young one. As he stared into the boy's black eyes, the saiyan relived the moment when the boy attacked Piccolo. While he was lost in his thoughts Goku was speaking to him, but the taller of the two didn't hear a thing until his eyes went wide open "That's it, it's the only explanation! Come here boy, we are going to test something" The long haired saiyan reached towards his nephew and with his left hand grabbed the boy by the back of the shirt. The boy was once again scared of the man and started to cry on which the saiyan scowled

"Silence boy! You have a blood of a saiyan warrior inside of you, stop with this at once!" Yelled Raditz at the boy with a scowl which forced even the young Gohan to stop crying. The boy whimpered quietly as he searched for his father who was behind them and glared at Raditz. He didn't know what his brother planned and whatever it was, he sure didn't like how he was treating his son

"Raditz, what are you trying to do!?" Asked Goku with his glaring eyes locked into his brother back. The older man turned towards his brother with a smirk on his face which was something that made Goku think this wasn't going to end well

"Ahh, Kakarrot you worry too much, no wonder you and the boy are so weak and soft..." Raditz turned away from his brother who clenched his fist at the words that the long haired saiyan said. Without him even realizing what his younger brother was doing behind his back, Raditz continued "I figured out, my little brother how to force the power out of your son and now, I'm going to test if I was right. If he really can do what I think he can then, he will be a great asset to our ranks" The taller saiyan grinned at the thoughts of them and the rest of their kind terrorizing and destroying the planets. Raditz quickly snapped from his daydreaming when he heard a whimpering voice coming from Gohan

"PP-Power? I-I don't h-have any power! I-I just want to be a ss-scholar!" Cried Gohan who didn't like how the things were going thus far. He didn't understand what the man with the long hair was talking about and what power!? He was only a four and a half kid without any kind of power. The boy's words and constant wailing irritated the saiyan who even with his younger brother's protest snapped at the boy

"Shut up or I will beat you so hard you won't be able to stand let alone walk for a year!" Raditz's shout was loud enough to once again stop the boy from crying and Goku to be a bit intimidated by his older brother. "Get this in your head, boy! You're a saiyan, a warrior and you have an enormous strength hidden in you which you will master, otherwise if you continue like this and disobey what I say... then I'm afraid you will die in a year when my comrades arrive here! They will not spare you unless you're strong enough, got it!?" He pulled the young half saiyan close to his face and stared at the boy. The boy stared back into his black eyes and with a whimper nodded while Goku sighed in relief, but then he began to wonder what Raditz really had in mind, only to see his brother raise the hand with Gohan in it

"R-Raditz don't!" Yelled Goku at his brother, but it was already too late. With a shout, Raditz threw Gohan towards a mountain and waited for the results to show. Goku stared in shock at his brother who calmly just stood in place while his son helplessly cried as he quickly flew towards the mountain. Goku snapped from his shock and was about to fly so he could save his son, but he was caught by his older brother. Raditz held Goku back from interfering with his experiment which angered the younger saiyan "Raditz I must save him! I will kill you if something happens to him!" Growled Goku with rage towards his older brother who found himself chuckling, his brother was slowly starting to show his real self

"Calm down, my foolish brother!" Raditz spoke from behind as he held Goku when suddenly the scouter started to beep loudly. The numbers on the green screen once again surprised Raditz while the sight in front of Goku's eyes left him speechless. His son was suddenly surrounded by a white aura which with his loud cry burst towards the mountain, completely pulverizing it. The brothers stared in shock as they looked at the place where once a mountain was while Gohan was sitting on the ground without any words to say. After a minute, Raditz pushed his younger brother away and smirked as he walked by him "See, I was right. It seems that his power is somehow linked to his emotions, but it only comes out when he's in rage or helpless..." Raditz explained it to Goku who was walking behind his brother and carefully listened everything that his older brother said

"Even tho his power is astonishing for someone so young, that won't do him any good if he's not in control and I just know a perfect way to fix that" A grin appeared on Raditz face when he approached the boy who turned towards them, still shocked

"I-I... D-Did I do that?" Asked Gohan who pointed with his index finger towards the place where once the mountain was. The boy was shaking, but that slowly started to fade away as his father approached him and patted on his back

"Yes, you did Gohan. I always kinda knew you had it in you and I'm very proud of you, son" Said Goku who with his right hand went through his son's messy hair and smiled at the boy. The little half saiyan was about to speak something but was cut off by his uncle

"Tch, how touchy. It's time to let him go, Kakarrot! His training begins right now" Raditz was standing near Goku and Gohan who with confused looks glanced at the taller man who with annoyance glared at the two "The boy will be left here to survive on his own, let's say for five or six months. That will help him to strengthen up before he is able to join us" The words which came out of Raditz mouth immediately scared Gohan who once again started to shake in fear that he will be left alone into the wilderness

"Isn't that a little too harsh? He's only a kid and I'm not sure if that's a good idea" Said Goku as he turned to Raditz and only to meet with his brother's scowl. The older saiyan just grunted something as he pulled his younger brother away from the boy

"This is exactly why he's so soft, you and this stupid planet spoiled him rotten!" Yelled the irritated saiyan as he threw away his younger brother and blocked the path between the boy and his father "This is the method every saiyan child went through since the age of three, even you went through this but thanks to that human who threw you, you can't remember" Declared Raditz who surprised Goku with this. He was just told something he didn't know or didn't remember before he was hit in the head

"So there were memories before I arrived here..." Thought Goku who wished he could remember something from his past, but it was out of his reach. The young saiyan clenched his right fist in frustration while he placed his left hand on his head. "It's all their fault! I swear they will pay for what they did to me!" Yelled Goku with an angry growl on which his aura burst out of his body. The aura flared wildly around the young saiyan while his older brother smirked with satisfaction

"Good, good! That's the way Kakarrot, release you anger and hatred!" Spoke Raditz out loud with a smirk as he encouraged his little brother outburst. On the other hand, Gohan didn't understand what was going on and why was his father so angry. The boy wanted to walk towards his father and give him some comfort, but his path was blocked by the taller saiyan "There is nothing for you to worry, boy. Your father was lied and used by humans way before you were born and after it, but it all ends with today. You will survive alone for six months and think of nothing more, after that you will join us and exterminate the whole human race" Raditz was already hovering into the sky when he glanced at his brother and with his head gestured him to follow him. The younger saiyan nodded and was ready to follow the older saiyan, but he stopped when he heard his son's plea

"Daddy please don't leave me here! I'm scared to be alone!" Cried the young Gohan as he ran towards his father who turned to his crying son. The wild aura still flared around him, but the look on his face softened when he lowered to his son level

"I know you're scared Gohan, but you must understand that this is for your own good. I'm completely confident in you and I'm sure that you will make it through this and end up stronger" Stated Goku who hugged Gohan and ruffled his son black hair before he pulled away. The saiyan slowly started to hover above the ground and for the last time glanced at his only son "I know you can do this Gohan, you must believe in yourself and your saiyan powers!" Goku smiled for the last time to his son and flew away from the wasteland in which he left his son to grew up to a proper saiyan

A yellow hover vehicle landed safely on the beach while the palm trees swayed under the wind. The moment that yellow vehicle landed it's hatch opened and the first to walk out of it was Bulma. The girl without any words ran into the house while Krillin and Roshi carried the unconscious Piccolo out from the vehicle. None of the two men said a thing as they transported the reincarnation of the demon king inside the house. Krillin wasn't sure what he was doing, Piccolo was supposed to be their enemy, not their savior! The bald man with the help of his master placed the big man on the floor and backed away from him. While Bulma was in the bathroom, obviously crying since it was able to hear her, Krillin slammed his fists on the table and cursed few words. Roshi knew that the two of them were the most hurt by what happened today, but the old man itself was feeling like a part of him died. The old man approached the fridge and pulled out a can of beer, he needed something to calm down and think of anything to solve this situation

Few minutes later Bulma walked out from the bathroom with her face swollen from crying, but no one said a word. The only sounds in the house were moans from Piccolo who was still hurt from his battle with Goku and Raditz. The floor under Piccolo's body was slowly starting to become purple because of his blood, but it didn't look like anybody cared, expect Roshi who walked near the wounded man and observed him for a moment

"Krillin, do we by any chance have a senzu bean somewhere in the house?" Asked the old master who's voice snapped Krillin from his thoughts and with confusion looked at Roshi

"N-No, the bag that master Korin gave to me dropped when Gok..." Krillin couldn't even utter the name because of what happened earlier. He clenched his fists and through his teeth spoke "The bag dropped on the ground. What good would it do us anyway!?" Yelled Krillin who began to cry

"Piccolo will die if he doesn't get any, and if that happens that means Kami and dragon balls will go with him. So please, search through your stuff, maybe you have one" Pleaded Roshi as he looked at Krillin. The young fighter just nodded and went to his room, even tho he didn't seem to care that much about Kami or dragon balls. As Krillin went into his room, Roshi glanced at Bulma's back and couldn't but pity the girl. She was the one who found Goku first and befriend with him, it was only natural that she was hurt, but the master couldn't let that hinder them. They needed to warn the others before something bad happens "Bulma, I know this might be hard for you but please, contact Yamcha before something bad happens to him or Puar. Can you do it?"

"Y-You are right, m-master Roshi. I'll call him right now..." The blue haired Bulma slowly stood up from the couch and with few whimpers walked towards the doors of the house. She wanted to catch some fresh air before she told the news to her boyfriend. Bulma was about to open the doors when Roshi called her again

"Ohh Bulma, tell Yamcha to pick up Tien and Chiaotzu on his way here. We'll need them as well" Roshi eyes were locked on Piccolo as he tried to somehow help the wounded man. Bulma just nodded and walked outside the house with a phone on her right ear. The old master was left alone in the living room with his once enemy and thought to himself how did things end up like this and what will happen next

East City, everything seemed like a normal day in a city where the people either rushed home after their work or just went to work. Some kids just finished with school while the other just started the school. A lot of cars and jets flew through the city which caused many crowds on the roads. The people who just walked through the city visited some shops or something else, to their own accord. It was a sunny day with few white clouds which brought joy to people's faces, but the people of East City were unaware of two men hovering just above their heads. The two dots in the sky observed the movements of the humans while they planned their next course of actions

"Look at them, fools! Without a care in the world, knowing too well that their puppet will save them from the next uprising evil" The long haired saiyan mocked his younger brother who was fuming with anger. The man chuckled at his brother and couldn't wait to see how will his younger brother handle things. The taller man turned towards his brother and gained his attention "Listen here Kakarrot, it's time for you to learn few things about purging a planet. When you have such a concentrated amount of living things in one place the best option is to just obliterate them with one strong blast, but... if you want to have some fun and hear them scream in agony, a bombardment is a nice touch" The saiyan explained to his brother who just nodded and glanced down at the people in the city. He stared at them for quite some time which caused the other man to annoyingly growl at his slow brother. When he received no response from him, the man with long black spiky hair was about to approach his younger brother and yell at him, but then, suddenly his scouter went on. His brother's power was going up and when he glanced at the young man, he shifted into a strange stance

"Kaa-Mee-Haa-Mee-"

"H-His power level just went above 1000! Can he by any chance increase his power level at will and concentrate it at one spot!?" Yelled Raditz in wonder as he stared at Goku with his eyes wide open in surprise. If that was the case, which he strongly assured that it was, then he was sure to learn it and use it to his advantage. Raditz continued to stare at his brother when suddenly Goku moved his hands in front

"HAAAA!" Yelled the once savior of Earth and fired the blue energy wave towards the city filled with people. The blue blast was quickly moving towards the city in which no one imagined that today was their last day. The blast hit the city which at the impact covered the entire city and some area around it in blue light before it exploded. The explosion created an enormous pillar of smoke followed with strong wind. Raditz observed everything with a satisfied smirk on his face while his hair waved in the strong wind. The saiyan turned towards his brother and uncrossed his bulky arms. He observed his brother as he levitated towards him, but his younger brother just stared at the ground

"What's wrong, Kakarrot? Don't tell me you regret what you did?" Asked Raditz who for a moment was serious as he waited for his brother answer. It felt like ages before his younger brother raised his head and looked at him with an expression Raditz was proud of

"Regret? Not even a bit, this is... amazing! They deserved it! I can feel the excitement boiling inside of me!" Spoke Goku loudly which was followed with a laugh as he raised his fists above his head. He never felt like this, he didn't know that destroying everything could feel so good. Every little doubt that he had inside his mind was gone. The saiyan Kakarrot was freed from his chains and was sure to strike humans with his vengeance
