DRAGONBALL: A RETELLING

Ido not own Dragonball or the characters in it. i am just a fan. andI don't like be accused of theft nor does my sister.

Note whenI say Raditz twice in a row it's just that Goku's older brother has a twin that is named the same. And note that whenI refer to Raditz with Zetheros its the good one. The older one is the good one.

DRAGONBALL

THE BEGINNING

CHAPTER 1

THE SAIYAN TELLS

Its been five years since the battle with Piccolo and Goku has married and had a son, Gohan. He and Gohan went to a reunion at Goku's old Marital Arts Master's, not knowing that a new threat was just around the corner. Goku had no idea that at the time he was being searched for by his older evil brother Raditz.

Raditz, though, was looking for a guy named 'Kakarot'. Eventually Raditz found a power level and think it was his brother headed in that direction. But he was disappointed when he found out that it wasn't his brother. It was Piccolo, Goku's archenemy at the time. Raditz was about to destroy him when his Scouter picked up another signal. Goku's signal.

Meanwhile while Raditz was on his way to Roshi's island, Goku just got there and introduced his son, Gohan to Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin. The next thing anyone knew was there was this strange man who had been looking for his little brother who turned out to be Goku. But what Raditz didn't know, or what Goku thought Raditz knew, was that Goku knew he was a Saiyan and of his mission. His mission to destroy all the earthlings on earth. But what Goku didn't realize was that this was the second oldest brother in his family. He was the one brother that didn't know of the plan that the king, his son, Vegeta, Goku, Goku's two twin brothers Zetheros and Ray, his twin sister Tea, His oldest brother Raditz, his youngest brother Rage, and his father, Bardock, had made to get rid of Frieza.

I guess I should start at the beginning. When Goku first found out that he was a Saiyan.

It all started when Goku was fourteen. He had gotten real sick with a virus. A virus only Saiyans can get. After he had gotten better him Krillin and Bulma all wondered how Goku had gotten sick in the first place. Master Roshi told them that he knew how and of course all three friends wanted to know.

Roshi told them that it was a virus only Saiyans could get. At first Goku didn't believe that he wasn't from earth but then Roshi said "Naturally your grandfather said you wouldn't believe me so he made this." and he held up a tape. Roshi put it in the VCR and once again Goku was looking in the face of his dead grandfather. "Goku if your watching this then that means that Roshi has told you that you are a Saiyan and you didn't believe him. But you are indeed a Saiyan like me your grandfather." after that Goku believed Roshi, of course.

After Goku learned he was a Saiyan he had Bulma get her dad to build him a sip so the he could go to the Saiyan planet where he would meet someone with who he would have many friendship trials with… Vegeta. He and Vegeta met when Goku first got there, but the first person he met when he got there was his father, Bardock. Bardock took Goku to their hideout where, at the time, was Prince Vegeta. "Kakarot this is Prince Vegeta." said Bardock "Please Bardock I told you to call me Vegeta. I told you tat my father considers you a part of our family." said Vegeta. "Sorry anyway this is my son, Kakarot." said Bardock. "Nice to meet you." said Vegeta. "So Kakarot did my father tell you?" asked Bardock. "No he got killed. I think the people in the village said a giant ape stepped on him." said Goku "So who did tell you?" asked Vegeta "My Marital Arts----" but Goku was interrupted by someone who looked a lot like him and Bardock. "Father we got a problem" " What is it Zetheros?" asked Bardock. "There's a strange ship outside and its not from our planet or from Entera." said Zetheros. "Don't worry Zetheros. It's Kakarot's ship." said Bardock. "Kakarot?" asked Zetheros. Zetheros looked around and saw Goku and said "You're my twin brother!" said Zetheros. "Yeah I guess." said Goku "Dad I'm going to get Raditz, Raditz, and Rage. Not to minion Raymond and Teara." said Zetheros. "Zetheros wait!" said Bardock "What Father?" "Just get the oldest, Raymond, Teara, and Rage." "Okay" said Zetheros and he left. "Okay, Kakarot stay here wit Vegeta. Vegeta is your father in?" "If by 'in' you mean in the castle, yes." said Vegeta. "Okay you two stay ere." said Bardock "Ok" said Goku and Vegeta in union

While Bardock went to Vegeta's father Zetheros came back wit Raditz, Rage, Ray, and Tea. "Well you must be Kakarot." said Tea "Why does everyone keep calling me 'Kakarot'?" asked Goku "Because that's your Saiyan name." said Bardock. He had come back with the Saiyan king, Vegeta's father. He walked over to Goku and said "My name is Vegeta and you must be Bardock's third oldest." "Whoa" said Goku

Goku stayed on the Saiyan planet for one year occasionally checking up on Krillin and the others. On the last week he was there King Vegeta had had enough of Frieza. So they made a plan to get rid of Frieza once and for all. He had called Goku and Vegeta to speak whit them privately and to tell them the plan as Bardock had already told his other sons, his daughter and Vegeta's brothers and sisters. "The only problem is Cerino. He's causing chaos. You boys are the strongest Saiyans that I've ever seen. You boys can stop him." said King Vegeta. Goku Vegeta just looked over at each other.

Goku and Vegeta went to the cave where Cerino was. They battled whit all they could but in the end Cerino made them so mad that for a brief moment their hair was blond. They beat him with a combination of Goku's Kamehameha and Vegeta's Galick Gun. They powered down and went back to Vegeta's house and told his father that it was over. "Well with Cerino at least." said Goku.

Goku took his leave with 3 of his brothers,; Zetheros, Ray, and Rage; his sister, Tea; and Vegeta's 2 brothers, Yugi and Kai; and 2 sisters, Kia and Vatari. As they were on their way to earth something terrible was getting ready to take place. Goku, meanwhile was training hard with Zetheros. When they asked why he was training so hard he said "because by the time we get there it'll be a week before the World Martial Arts Tournament."

When they go there Goku got out to meet a very surprised Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi. "Why are all of you surprised?" asked Goku "Well we didn't expect to you to bring some people back with you," said Bulma "So who are all of your friends Goku?" asked Krillin "Why are they calling you that, Kakarot?" asked Tea "I'll explain that to you guys later. And I'll explain why these guys call me 'Kakarot' to you guys later." said Goku "So you guys wanted to know who these guys are. Well 4 of them are family to me and Yugi, Kai Kia, and Vatari are well… Hey Bulma remember the last time I contacted you before I left?" "Yeah" said Bulma "You remember the guy I was with? Vegeta?" asked Goku "Yeah" said Bulma "Well these two boys, Yugi and Kai are his brother and these two girls, Kia and Vatari are his sisters" said Goku "Oh" said Bulma "So Goku you entering the tournament?" asked Krillin "Yeah, you bet." said Goku .

For the whole week Goku trained for the tournament. Then on the day before the tournament Zetheros and the others that came back with Goku and Krillin and Goku's other friends entered the tournament. Everyone fought until it was just Goku and Tien in the finals. Goku fought hard but ended being beat by Tien. Later that day Goku realized he left his power pole and his four star Dragonball. "I'll get them." said Krillin "Okay" said Goku "Hey Krillin be careful." said Zetheros. "Okay" said Krillin

Goku and the others waited for Krillin to come back and after a while Goku went out looking for him. They all looked for him, but it was Goku that found him. He was dead and the four star Dragonball was gone. Goku was so pissed that he went off to kill who ever killed Krillin. "Kakarot wait!" yelled Zetheros.

Goku looked for Krillin's killer and found him, and beat him. He also found out that the real enemy was none other than King Piccolo. When Goku fought him easily beaten for a Saiyan. Yarjirobi suggested he train at Korin's for a few months and Goku did.

After six months Goku once again faced King Piccolo. But this time he was better prepared. Goku defeated him, but before died King Piccolo spat out another egg that would one day become the Piccolo that made friends with Goku's son, Gohan. After the battle Goku remembered that King Piccolo destroyed the Dragonballs. Korin suggested he go to Kami's lookout and talk to Kami, the creator of the Dragonballs.

So Goku left and went to the lookout for the first time. Kami told him in order to recreate the Dragonballs Goku had spend three years on the lookout training. Goku agreed and so his training began.

It's been three years since Goku's friends and family last saw him. It was the day of the World Tournament and everyone was there, including Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Roshi. They were waiting for Goku when they saw the Nimbus but they didn't think the guy riding it was Goku, but it was. "Hey guys." said Goku "Goku is that really you?" asked Bulma "Yep" said Goku.

When the tournament began Goku was in the first match and the fighter he fighting was Chi-Chi, but he didn't know that it was her. After he beat her she reminded him of the promise he made that he would marry her. He remembered the promise and he would after the tournament.

The Tournament continued until it was only Tien, Goku, Piccolo and some mysterious warrior. Goku and Tien battle with Goku beating Tien this time. And Piccolo beat the mysterious warrior, that turned out to be Kami, and was facing Goku. Very soon in the battle they figured out that Majunior was Piccolo jr., King Piccolo's son. Goku and Piccolo battled and finally Goku beat him. Kami offered Goku to come back to the lookout to be come the next guardian of the earth, but Goku turned his offer down and called for the Nimbus.

Back in the present Raditz took Gohan and left. Goku teamed up with Piccolo to get Gohan back. They battled and battled as much as they could. But Raditz was to strong even for Goku and Piccolo, the two strongest fighters on Earth. "Piccolo! Do it!" yelled Goku as he held on to Raditz. Piccolo shot a big beam of light and shot it right through Goku and Raditz.

Goku went to meet Kami at the check-in place. He told Goku to go to the end of Snake Way and train with King Kai.

While Goku was on his way to King Kai's planet Piccolo was training Goku's son Gohan. Piccolo dropped him off in the wilderness for six months, then he started training him personally.

Meanwhile Goku made it to King Kai's planet with two months to spare and for the next two months they trained intensely until the last day. On the last day they went over every thing Goku had learned with that training. "Now Goku it will take longer for the spirit bomb to form on Earth, considering there's a lot more life on there than here." said King Kai. infact they wer so in to training that they forgot about the trip back acroos Snake Way. "It should only take you two daysto get back." said King Kai " Two days !" yelled Goku "It almost took me a year to get here before." "With your speed improvement you'll get there fast if you hurry." said King Kai "Thank you for everythin King Kai. Bye guys!" said Goku. and he took off. By the time Goku got half way back to earth Gohan and the others encountered the two Saiyans Nappa and Goku's friend Vegeta. the night before the Z-fighters fought Vegeta and Nappa, Vegeta went to Bulma and told her what he was going to do to Nappa and he also told her to tell the Z-figthers. But Bulma didn't see any of the warriors, so she couldn't tell them. By the time Goku got to the lookout everyone but Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo was dead.And Vegeta wasn't happy about that. He tried every way to stop Nappa from killing them but he couldn't. And by the time Goku got to the battlefield everyone but Krillin and Gohan were dead.

Nappa was on the verge of killing Gohan when Goku got there. He got there just in time to save Gohan. In fact he saved him so fast that Nappa didn't even see it coming, but ,of course, Vegeta did.

Goku sat Gohan down beside Krillin and gave them both a half of a Sensu Bean and then he turned to fight Nappa. After making short work of Nappa he turned to Vegeta. Krillin turned to Goku and said "Goku can't we go someplace? We already have enough people to wish back as it is." "Wish them back?But Piccolo's gone. we can't use the Dragonballs." said Goku "But we do need to move." He took off and Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan followed him. "This should be a good spot.Let's fight here Vegeta" said Goku "Away frominnocent people, huh Kakarot? Fine." said Vegeta. "Gohan! Krillin! Get out of here now! I'll handle things from here!" yelled Goku. And Krllin and Gohan left. "So Vegeta, what happened? Why didn't Father send the oldest like we planned?" "Things happened that you wouldn't believe Kakarot." said Vegeta "Yeah, I bet." said Goku "Well enough talking Kakarot." sai Vegeta "Fine let's fight." said Goku.

Goku and Vegeta fought and eventuallyit ended in a tie . Krillin was about to finish Vegeta off of good when Goku told him to sparehim. "But Goku after everything he's done, what he did to our friends, your just going to let him go?" asked Krillin. "Yeah he's an awesome fighter and not only that butI got a feeling he can help us later on." said Goku in a low voice. "Well alright Goku. ButI hope you know what you're going." said Krillin.

By the time Roshi and the others got there Vegeta had already left. He was on his way to Namek thinking about what Goku had said to Krillin. 'Well I am glad he told that guy to do that, considering me and him are good friends.' thought Vegeta.
