CHAPTER ONE - OUR BROTHER

A group of armored warriors walk along the outskirts of a city on Planet Frieza #79. A long haired warrior reviews a report. He tsks and closes the report irritably.

"Just great. These locals aren't too easy to kill." the Saiyan grumbles. "It'll probably take us a few months to clean up this planet."

"Indeed." says a short, spiky-haired Saiyan. "This would go more quickly if we had better resources. But the job will get done one way or another. I wont have us losing an assignment like this to someone else."

"Yeah." concurs a large, bald Saiyan. "No one does a better clean up than we do! Ha ha!"

The Saiyan Prince smirks.

"Of course not. We're Saiyans, after all." he replies. To his left, he sees the long-haired Saiyan looking thoughtful. "What is it Raditz? Lose your arm band?" the Prince says mockingly.

"No, Prince Vegeta." Raditz replies, apparently ignoring the jab. "I was just remembering; I think I know where another Saiyan is alive."

"Huh? Another Saiyan?" the big bald Saiyan inquires.

"Yes. My younger brother, Kakarot. I believe he was sent to a planet called Earth before our homeworld was destroyed." Raditz replies. "For just us, it'll take up time to expire the locals. But perhaps if I picked up my little brother, we can speed up the process."

"Hmph. If you really think so, feel free Raditz. Nappa and I will head on to the planet and get things started. Do be quick about it." the Saiyan Prince says.

"I will sir. I'll bring my other brother along too, if I can steal him away that is." Raditz says with a nod.

"What, that suck up who hangs around with Frieza?" Nappa scoffs. "He has no right calling himself a Saiyan!"

Raditz doesn't retort, but gives Vegeta a courteous bow, and heads in a different direction.

"So let me get this straight..." says a warrior clad in black and purple armor. His tail twitches as he speaks, clearly agitated. "You want me to go off on some recovery mission with you to pick up our baby brother?"

"What, so you're too busy here, acting as Frieza's little spy?" Raditz retorts. He leans his back against a wall and considers his just barely younger brother.

The other Saiyan turns around, scowling.

"I am not Frieza's spy; no matter what that idiot Nappa, or that pampered Prince Vegeta say." the Saiyan barks. "I am a warrior recognized for my power even by Lord Frieza! I have no time for playing around with fools."

"Whatever you say, Turles." Raditz sighs. He pushes himself off the wall and walks towards Turles. "Look, I know you and Vegeta have your differences, but this isn't about him. It's about keeping our people together. Aren't you the one who used to constantly say 'There are so few Saiyans left, we should work together'?"

Turles huffs a sigh, and scratches his head. He paces a few steps away from Raditz and looks out a window.

"Fine then. I'll go with you. I'll have to run it by Zarbon that I'm leaving. But I doubt Lord Frieza will have need of me soon. After all, I've been stuck on this belay for almost a year." Turles finally says.

Raditz smirks. "Yes, do go get that pretty-boy's permission."

Turles growls irritably at Raditz. "Is there anything else you feel necessary to to bother me with? Or are we done here?"

"We're done." Raditz conceeds.

The two Saiyan brothers sit down in their space pods and set their coordinates for a planet called Earth. The pods rocket off the ground and head into space, gathering speed quickly.

"I can't believe I'm bothering with this..." Turles mutters. The communication channel was open, but he didn't really care.

"Don't be sour." Raditz's voice came over in the comm. "It'll be better than sitting around, twiddling your thumbs wont it?"

"Hmph." Turles huffs.

The space pods race through space towards their destination... Earth!

So this is my first FanFiction. Before anyone says, yeah, Turles is NOT Goku and Raditz's brother. In fact, they aren't even distant cousins. Turles was created to be "Kakarot", the Saiyan Goku could have become had he not struck his cranium as an infant. But, just for this story, they are. As I write, I will do my best to keep to the character's personalities, but there will be quirks here and there. If you liked it, disliked it, or have any suggestions, please feel free to review! As a writer, I enjoy feedback. Thank you for reading, and I hope you all enjoy more chapters as I upload them!
