I walk to my window and look outside…Still raining, of course. It's always days like these that bring out the loneliness in me. I could also tell it's these same days that bring it out of my mother too. She used to love the rain. She loved the way it made little patterns on the windowpanes. She used to sit in the kitchen and watch the rain fall with dad…Dad…I missed him so much. I was really young when he left. I think around four and half. I remember that day just like it was yesterday…more like 3 years ago…

(Flashback)

We were all at Master Roshi's house on his small island for some get together or something. It was when I first met my father's friends who had grown up with. He had always told me stories about them and how he used to collect the dragonballs. That sparkle in his eyes when retold me about how he and Piccolo's first fight was at the World Martial Arts Tournament and how they had destroyed the ring and its surrounding areas into rubble. Things seemed much happier then…But yeah, we were all at my dad's mentor's house just joking and laughing. I was playing with the pet turtle and a crab while my dad was catching up to his old friends. He seemed to like to hang around bald guys considering Roshi, Krillin, and Tien were bald. I guess it made him look better since he was the one with crazy hair.

Bulma, the blue-haired woman who my dad first met before his adventures, was arguing with Yamcha, a former rival of my father, about something or another. I think they had a crush on each other or something. Everything was nice until this clown looking guy named Chiaotzu started staring up into the sky with some kind of worried face.

Chiaotzu: Hey guy! Do you feel that?

Tien: Feel what, Chiaotzu?

Chiaotzu: I sense something bad…headed our way.

Goku: Yeah! I feel it now… I-It's incredible!

Krillin: Yeah, I-i-incredibly evil. *shivers*

Goku: Hang on everyone! Here it comes!

Just then some guy flew down out of nowhere from the sky. He landed gently in front of my father with an evil grin on his face. I thought it was another one of dad's friends because he fit the description of one. He had long, black hair, kind of on the pudgy side (or maybe it was muscle, I don't remember), had weird clothing, and looked like he wasn't from around civilization much. He fit the bit to a T. I looked back at dad, whose face quickly turned down any earlier thoughts of this stranger. He was really nervous for some reason, and my dad being nervous makes everything scarier because my dad was never scared of anything…Or so I thought.

Stranger: Hello there…Kakarot. Nice to see your still in one piece. My how you've grown up.

Goku: Kakarot? My name is Goku…and who are you?

Stranger: What you don't recognize me? Kakarot, what is wrong with you? First, you leave all these miserable creatures alive and now…you don't remember me? Did you forget the mission or something, you fool!?

Goku: What are you talking about? What mission? Who are you!?

Yamcha: I don't think we want to know, Goku. This guy seems like bad news.

Krillin: He's right, Goku. *walks up to the stranger* Hey listen buddy, whoever you are looking for obviously isn't here so why don't you, whoever you are, go back to wherever you came from…and never bother us again.

The stranger looks down at Krillin with a stern face and the "belt" around his clothing starts to twitch. My dad notices something is up, but it was too late.

Goku: Krillin, LOOK OUT!

Krillin: Huh? Gwaaahhh! *gets smacked into house wall.*

Goku: Krillin!

Chiaotzu: Look! He-he has…

Tien: A tail!

Goku: Grr…If you wanted my attention, you got it. Now I'm going to ask you one more time…who are you?

Raditz: (Sigh) I didn't expect to give a history lesson when I arrived here…Kakarot, have you ever felt different? Like you didn't belong to this world? I'm pretty sure you have noticed your strength is incredibly massive compared to these lowlife creatures. The reason why is because you are not from this world, Kakarot. You are a born from the strongest fighters in the universe on the Planet Vegeta. You, Kakarot, are a saiyan warrior and I…I am your older brother, Raditz.

Goku: WHAT! M-my older brother!?

Bulma: But t-that's impossible! When I met Goku he had no other family other than his grandfather, but he was dead!

Raditz: You idiot Earth woman, I said he was from a different planet so of course you wouldn't see any of his family…The question is how could you forget though Kakarot? The medics on our planet made sure to instill your mission inside of your head before they shipped off to this planet. Tell me did you hit your head when you were younger?

Goku: Yeah, I did. I still have the scar.

Raditz: You idiot, you must have suffered from amnesia. That's the only reason I see that explains why you're so chummy with these…vile worms.

Goku: Wait, how do I know if all this is true? Why should I believe you? Besides…you don't look like any brother I'd want to have.

Master Roshi: Wait Goku…there's something I haven't told you…A long time ago, when your grandfather was still alive, he told me that he was walking in the mountains one time, and he happened to hear some strange crying. He went to go see what it is and he found a small boy…inside of some kind of spaceship. That boy was you, Goku. He took you home and tried to raise you as a regular human child, but you were so rowdy and rough that it was hard for him to do that. One day, while walking, you fell out the basket he was carrying you in and down to the bottom of a ravine…Yes, any normal human child would have died on impact…but you, Goku…you made a miraculous recovery and became the happy-go-lucky child we all knew you as.

Raditz: You see? Even the old coot says my story is true. But any matter, the saiyans are a warrior race who enjoy a good fight. Their blood starts to boil at just the thought of a fight. It makes the business we're in an easier task as well. Consider us as "planet brokers." We eliminate all life on a planet of our choosing. Then once the planet is a desolate wasteland, we sell it to the highest bidder. If the job is a heavy task, we normally send our adult warriors for the job, but for planets like these we would only need a small child. Or so we thought. Kakarot, if you hadn't forgot your mission, this world would be ours in about a year. In your true form, if would have taken an even lesser amount of time. This planet has such a nice moon so I'm pretty sure you looked at it once in your life.

Everyone around my father looked nervous. The strange guy looked down at me with a strange grin, or at my tail. He scared me so I ran to my dad. I clung onto him but he kept pushing me away. Seeing that, I think the strange guy saw that my father had no tail.

Raditz: Hey Kakarot! Where's your tail at!?

Goku: It was taken off awhile ago.

Raditz: What! YOU IDIOT! You let these stupid creatures take away your true power! Without your tail, you're nothing! You can't transform at the light of the full moon anymore!

Goku: I don't care! I'm done listening to you! Now leave!

Raditz: Grr…I don't think you get it little brother. You're too precious for us to let you go. You see, our Planet Vegeta was destroyed by a huge comet that collided with it. There were only about 3 of us that were away at the time so we were fortunately spared from the same tragedy. I came here to bring you back to where you belong…and that is with us, your brethren.

Goku: I would never join you. You guys are nothing but monsters that enjoy senseless murder.

Raditz: I was hoping you wouldn't say that brother. Hmm, maybe I would have more luck with your son here. Yes, he can be molded into a fine warrior.

Goku: Don't lay a finger on him! Bulma! Krillin! Get Gohan away from here!

Bulma: Okay! Come on kid!

She tried to pull me away from my dad, but I wouldn't go. I didn't want to leave my dad against this strange guy claiming to be my uncle.

Goku: Let go and go with them Gohan!

But I didn't listen, until it was too late. This Raditz guy charged at my father and knocked him down hard.

Me: Daddy!

Goku: G-go-han…go…run away!

Suddenly a feel someone grab me. I look up and see it's that Raditz guy. I start to panic and cry. I scream "Let go of me!" and hoped my daddy would come get me…but he was still on the ground in pain. Suddenly, Raditz starts to fly away.

Raditz: If you want to save your son, kill one hundred humans, Kakarot. Then, come find me. I'm not giving you much of a choice to join me so if you won't choose to do it, then I will force you.

Krillin: That's what you think! Gohan, cover your eyes!

Raditz: What?

Krillin jumped up into the air and met Raditz face to face. He put his hands to his face and closed his eyes.

Krillin: Solar Flare!

Suddenly, a blinding light emanated from Krillin and I guess he blinded Raditz because the next I knew I was being dropped and falling down to the ground. I was about to hit the ground, Mr. Yamcha caught me.

Raditz: What the…hell! I can't see! I'll get you for this baldy!

Goku: G-great job Krillin. *Gets to his feet* Flying nimbus!

Suddenly, dad's yellow cloud came out of nowhere and flew toward us. My dad put me on it and told it to fly away. It was about to when again I was taken hostage by my uncle.

Raditz: That was a dirty trick. Time to for this one to die!

He put one of his fingers to my face and a purple energy started to glow from his fingertip. I just knew I was about to die…by my own uncle. I braced for impact when…

Goku: STOP! OK! Okay…I'll do what you say…just leave my son and everyone else alone. I'll go with you.

Tien: Goku, what!

Bulma: He'll kill you Goku!

Raditz put his finger down and looked at my father.

Raditz: You've had a change of heart huh? Good choice, Kakarot. I'm not one to play games with.

Goku: Promise me that once I go, that we'll leave this planet and never come back here!

Raditz: I promise. Even though, I don't know why. The "humans" are so weak and fragile. They hardly have any reason walking much less living their puny lives.

Goku: Yeah, well you could learn a thing or two from them. *He turns toward everyone*

Me: You're not really going to go with that guy, are you daddy?

Goku: *smiles* It looks like I have to son. Don't worry, we'll see each other again.

Yamcha: Goku, wait! I'm pretty sure if we all tag team him, we'll take him down.

Goku: I don't think so Yamcha. This guy is…unbelievably strong. Much stronger than Piccolo…Even than me.

Master Roshi: It's not fair…It's not your fault that you come from an alien race bent on conquering the universe.

Tien: Please Goku, don't go.

Goku: I have to you guys. It's for the best of yours and the Earth's safety. Gohan…Please…be strong for mommy. I know she'll find it hard at first when I'm gone but…she's a strong woman. And you're a strong kid. You just have to find the strength inside of you…Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha I want you to look after my family, if that's alright. And please sneak Gohan and train him in martial arts. I know Chi-Chi won't like it, but it's for the best trust me.

Tien: Will do.

Yamcha: You can count on us.

Krillin: No problem buddy. You just be careful with your brother out there…wherever you go.

Goku: I will. I hope we meet again. Bye guys.

Raditz: I hope you got your sentimentalities out because there's no going back once we leave, brother.

Goku: Just come on. I don't want to drag this out.

Raditz: Alright then.

Me: DADDY NOOOO! *Cries*

And then they flew off. I never heard or saw from my father again after that. In the following months, Krillin and the other came by as often as they could to check up on us. (More Krillin than anyone else really. Yamcha had a baseball career to deal with and Tien and Chiaotzu were barely around.) My mom seemed to enjoy having Krillin around. I think it reminded her of when she was younger and how he was always talking about my dad; I guess it was like having him here…but in smaller, balder body. I didn't mind because it was the happiest I would see my mother…
