Chapter one: The Death of Goku
"Piccolo, hurry up!" shouted Goku as he was struggling to keep Raditz from dodging Piccolo's attack. "It won't be much longer." Said Piccolo. "Ok, ready. Special beam cannon!" As the attack was about to hit Raditz jumped as high as he could and threw Goku off his back into Piccolo's attack. "Ahh!" Screamed Goku as the blast went right through him. "Well, brother, looks like I win." Said Raditz. "No one else on this planet has the power to beat me. Unless your son wants to try to get all that power back again. But he's unconscious." "Goku will be back soon." Piccolo said confidently. "What do you mean?" asked Raditz. Piccolo explained what the dragon balls were. "On Earth there are things called dragon balls. When all seven are gathered they can grant any wish. Even bring someone back from the dead." "And why are you telling me this? What if I decide to look for them?" Raditz asked. Piccolo replied, "Because Goku's friends will probably wish him back before you find one. Besides, I don't plan on letting you live." He shot a bunch of powerful ki blasts at Raditz, knocking him down. "My…my scouter is broken. I guess it doesn't matter. What would happen if I had help searching for the dragon balls?" "What are you talking about?" said Piccolo. Raditz answered, "My partners heard every word you said about the dragon balls. They are probably on their way to Earth right now. They are even stronger than me."
"We're almost there," said Bulma. Her, Krillan, and Master Roshi looked out the window of the plain. "There they are," shouted Krillan. "Only two of them are standing … It's Piccolo and Raditz! There's a hole right through Goku's stomach" Bulma said angrily "They probably made a deal to team up and kill goku. I knew we couldn't trust Piccolo." "Well let's get away from here before they see us," said Krillan.
