My Family In The Far Reaches Of The Universe

Chapter 1- Energy surge

"Person Talking" 'Person thinking' 'flashbacks'

'Why can't we ever search for someone on our side of the galaxy?' were the thoughts of Vegeta. Vegeta is young man in his early 20's, has black spikey hair, and is a Sayian. "Are we there yet, Kakarot?" he asks the young man at the front of their space vessel. "No, Vegeta. And for the last time, stop calling me that." says Goku. Goku is a young man that's 21 years old, has black hair that spikes out it different places, and he's a Super Sayian. "Will you two stop fighting!" screams the angry Namecian named Piccllo. Piccllo is a young alien species called a Namecian. He is one of the last of his kind, or so he thinks. "Quiet, Namecian. This isn't your discussion." demands Vegeta. Piccllo growls at him and raises his fists. "How about I give you something to discuss, you pile of Sayian garbage!" yells Piccllo. Vegeta turns red and faces the Namecian with clenched fists and teeth. "It'd be my pleasure to take part in your challenge." snarls Vegeta, with hatred gleaming in his eyes. Goku sees them getting closer to each other and puts the ship on auto-pilot. "WILL YOU TWO CUT IT OUT!" he screams at the top of his lungs. With widened eyes Vegeta and Piccllo turn away from their fight and stare at Goku. "I've had it up to here with you two and your fighting! If you two start up again, you are both riding the rest of the way gagged and bound in the freezer!" he exclaims. Vegeta and Piccllo look to each other then back to Goku, and nod their heads in agreement. "Good." says Goku calmly and turns back to the wheel to pilot. "He's very intimidating when he wants to be." whispers Vegeta to Piccllo. "No kidding. I thought he was going to beat us to pulps for fighting again." Piccllo quietly responds back. Goku looks back at them with a warning glare and theyb sit down on the floor facing away from each other. "Just be glad, Chi-chi isn't here. She'd do a lot more than me." says Goku with a smirk on his face.

"Goku, how do we find him, if we don't even know what he looks like?" asks Piccllo after a few minutes of pure scilence. Goku turns to look at him then smirks. "How we always find people. We follow their energy signals." answers Goku. Piccllo nods his head and lays it down on the wall next to him. Suddenly, they feel a strong energy surge pulling at them. "What was that?" asks Vegeta not recognizing the energy signal. "That was my son and your nephew's power level spiking." says Goku in a quiet voice, still not quite believing what he felt. Piccllo's eyes go as wide as saucers and he starts to sqirm on the spot. "How could anyone have a power level that high! It felt like the person had at least a power level of over a million, Goku!" bellows Piccllo on the verge of a major freak out. Goku chuckles to himself and twists his body toward the two men sitting on the floor. "Looks like Raphael's been eating those Sensue Beans I've been sending him." he says. Vegeta gasps along with Piccllo. Raphael.! The Raphael! No one down on Earth knew it, but they are about to be astonished by the great power that lives right under their feet.

"So, how do we find Raphael,once we get to Earth?" asks Goku. Vegeta sees red and runs for Goku. "What do you mean, 'what do we do'?!" roars Vegeta, pinning Goku to the wall. Goku looks Vegeta straight in the eye and frowns. "I mean, I don't know where my son is on earth. I've been following his energy surges for the last 2 weeks." Goku expalins with irritation laced into his voice. Vegeta lets go of Goku and backs up a little. "You dragged us out into space to help you find your son, our nephew, and you don't know where he is on the blasted planet." laughs Vegeta. Goku sighs and rubs his face. "Yeah, that's the truth. And if you have a problem with it, you can find a new way home." says Goku as he turns back towards the wheel of the ship. Piccllo shakes his head and laughs loudly. "We could've stayed home on Planet Namek, but instead we wnted to help you find your worthless son." he says with fear laced into his shaking voice. "Whatch it, Piccllo. He's you nephew, and a few minutes ago you were afraid of his power level." says Goku in that 'as a matter of fact' tone of voice. Piccllo's face heats up into a light pinkish hue and he turns his face away. "Okay, Kakarot. We shall stay and help you find your son. But, if we do not find him after 2 days, we will leave the planet without him." says Vegeta. Goku pivets on his foot and stares at Vegeta. "Deal." he says breathlessly. 'You better be in New York like I think, Raphael. or I won't be able to meet you.' were the thoughts of Goku as the space vessel flies out of sight into a blanket of stars and space dust.
