It was five years since the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Chi-Chi was in the house on mount Paozu, having told Son Goku to get firewood. He went into the forest, and got ready to punch down a tree. Meanwhile, Son Gohan was nearby, getting ready to help his father with the firewood. Son Gohan is four years old, and is a unique species to the earth, like Son Goku. Son Gohan is a half-saiyan, the byproduct of a saiyan and human mating.

Son Goku punched the tree down and looked at Son Gohan.

"What do you think, Gohan? Is this big enough?"

Gohan looked at Goku with a smile.

"It should be, Daddy. Let's take it home." Gohan walked over and picked up one end, as Goku picked up the other. They then went airborne and flew back to the house. They landed next to a worried Chi-Chi, and Goku and Gohan cut the tree with their martial arts skills. Chi-Chi just looked at her son with worried eyes.

"I just hope you know what you're doing, Goku. I allowed you to train Gohan when he didn't need to study, but I always worry."

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Now, Gohan and I will be going to Muten Roshi's for the get-together."

"Fine. Take Gohan's study things."

"I will, Chi-Chi."

Goku went into the house and grabbed Gohan's study things, then came back out.

"NIMBUS!!"

The nimbus cloud that Goku prized appeared, and he and Gohan got on it. They then rode the cloud to Kame house, crossing the ocean. they didn't speak until they landed, and were bombarded by krulilin, Bulma, and Muten Roshi.

"Hey, everyone!"

"Hey, Goku! I didn't know you were babysitting."

"I'm not. He's my son."

Kulilin, Bulma and Muten Roshi were all shocked. After some catching up, Goku sensed an evil in the air that was stronger than Piccolo's. He looked in the air, and saw a figure getting closer. Goku got into the ready stance, and the person soon landed.

"Who are you?" Goku didn;t recognise the stranger as he asked.

"I see you didn't complete your mission, Kakarotto."

"My mission?"

"Yes. You were supposed to exterminate all life here and make this planet ready for sale. Why haven't you done it yet?"

"I would never harm the people of Earth!"

"What? Kakarotto, did you hit your head?"

"What?"

"I'm asking you if you hit your head!"

"I don't remember it very well, but I think I did hit my head when I was a baby. I still have a scar where it happened."

"Fool! You've forgotten everything! Well, I guess I have to introduce myself. I'm Raditz, your older brother."

"What?"

"Goku has a b-b-b-brother?"

"Yes. You are a Saiyan Warrior from the Planet Vegeta. You were sent to Earth as a young infant with instructions to purge this planet of all life, but instead you lost your memory."

"Yeah, well. It's a good thing I did, or else I wouldn't have these friends."

"Even if you did forget, you would still undergo the Transformation... wait, what happened to your tail Kakarotto?

"My... tail?"

"With your tail, you could have gotten this planet ready for sale with the Oozaru Transformation."

"Oozaru? You mean Great Ape?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I underwent that transformation about three times in my life before I decided to have my tail removed. I got sick of my clothes being destroyed, and having blank spots in my memory. But, the tail refused to come off. So, instead, I mastered the form."

Raditz laughed.

"You? Master the Great Oozaru Form which even Father could not master? That's a good one. If you truly mastered it, then why don't we see? Come to the field near my landing site, and we'll fight. As motivation, I'll just take him."

He pointed to Gohan, and then grabbed him.

"You have until sun-down to meet me there. If you don't show, I'll leave the planet with your half-breed son, and we'll take this planet by force!"

"YOU WON'T TAKE GOHAN!!"

Goku charged at Raditz, only to be rebuffed. He fell on his back after being kneed in the gut, writhing in pain. Raditz walked to Gohan and grabbed him, before flying off to his ship. Goku soon recovered, but before he could take off, Piccolo appeared on the scene.

"Even if what you say is true, you won't be able to defeat him alone, so I'll give you an ultimatum. You help me defeat him, and I won't kill you."

Goku laughed.

"Ok. You have a deal. Let's get him."

Goku and Piccolo took off after the Saiyan, flying into the distance.
