Chapter 1: Son Tori

Chi-Chi hummed quietly to herself as she danced around the kitchen making lunch for her family. She was in the kitchen for three hours just to make lunch for two other people, but she became used to it over the last few years. Well, Goku has always eaten a lot since I've known him, and Tori is a growing girl. Speaking of Tori, I wonder how she's doing with her studies.

Chi-Chi put down the spoon she was using to stir the rice with to walk to her daughter's room and open the door only to find it empty. The mother growled out in anger once she realized that her child had skipped out on her studies for the third time that week!

The door to the house slammed open and she stumped back to the kitchen to see Goku enter the house. Goku sighed happily and sat down at the kitchen table, ready to eat.

"Chi-Chi, is lunch done yet 'cause I'm starving," Goku whined while rubbing his stomach.

"No one's eating until Tori is found!" Chi-Chi declared loudly, placing her hands onto her hips.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Goku asked perplex. "She's not in her room?"

"Do you think I would say she needed to be found if she was in her room?" His wife retorted angrily. "Our daughter skipped out on her studies again!"

"Aw, can't I find her after I eat?"

"Goku, go find your daughter!" She shouted, pointing towards the door.

Goku whined once more but got up to go find their daughter in the woods.

Tori giggled to herself as she ran throughout the forest, arms spread like an airplane's wings. She understood that her mom would confine her her room after this, but she couldn't care because she was having fun.

The young girl hopped across the stones that littered the river to get to the other side before using a vine to swing across a muddy puddle.

Son Tori was much like her father when he was a kid; adventurous, brave, and kind to others, but she had brains like her mother did. However, she chooses to play outside instead of doing her homework.

Tori held tightly onto her yellow and pink four star dragon ball hat as she absentmindedly climbed

"Tori!" Goku shouted throughout the forest in hopes in getting a response back.

"Uh oh," Tori gasped. "That's Daddy! Gotta hide."

The three year old dove behind a bush just as Goku came running into the area. Tori laughed a little before covering her mouth. Goku heard his daughter's distinct laugh and stopped dead center. He looked around in an attempt to find any sign of her. He smiled widely when he noticed her tail stick out from behind the green bush. Tori leaned up to see where he was and the two made eye contact.

"Aha, I found ya!" Goku cheered.

Tori got up immediately and ran to her father's open arms. "Your mom was worried about you, kiddo. You should go home and apologize as much as possible so your mom won't give you a spanking."

"But, Daddy!" Tori whined out. "Studying is so boring."

Goku reached down to ruffle her hair. "I know, I'm the same way. You didn't get yourself dirty, did you?"

The young girl looked down at her pink and white qipao to notice there was not a single stain on her clothes. "No, I'm still clean."

"Good, cause after lunch, we're going to go to Master Roshi's place to meet all my friends."

"Okay! I'll race you back, Daddy!"

Tori leaped from her father's arms and ran as fast as she could back to her house with Goku hot on her tail. The two raced back all the way to their small house in the forest, and Tori cheered loudly when she noticed that she had actually beat her father back home. Tori ran inside the house, ready to tell her mother about the victory and how sorry she was.

"Mama, Mama, I beat-" Tori couldn't finished her sentence because she gasped at the sight in front of her.

Her mother was sprayed out on the floor unconscious while there was a large man sitting at the kitchen table eating up the lunch Chi-Chi had made for them. Goku came in the door seconds later, mouth gaped open.

The young father acted quickly and pulled Tori next to him protectively. Goku glared at the spiky haired man while Tori simply clutched her father's orange pants, looking on curiously.

"Who are you?" Goku asked menacingly. "What did you do to Chi-Chi?"

"Calm down she's fine, just knocked out," the man informed. "My you have grown. You look just like our father."

"W-What?" Goku stuttered confused.

"Mama," Tori whimpered, trying to go towards her mother but Goku held her head tight against his leg.

"Kakarot, why haven't you wiped out the people of this planet yet?"

"Kaka-what? Look, you got the wrong guy cause my name is Goku!"

"Impossible! You look just like our father!"

"Who are you?!"

The man chuckled darkly before stating, "My name is Raditz. I'm your big brother."

"You're lying!" Goku shouted.

The man Raditz glared harshly at Goku. "How could you not remember your people and your mission?"

"Mission...people," Goku repeated.

"Tell me, baby brother, did you hit your head as a child?" Raditz questioned. "Answer me!"

Goku rubbed the back of his head self consciously. "Yeah, I did. Still have the scar and everything."

Raditz chuckled darkly and walked strode towards Goku slowly. Goku pushed Tori completely behind him as his supposed brother neared. "You're such a fool, Kakarot that it hurts. But I guess you are in need of a history lesson. You are not from this planet Earth but a planet called Vegeta. You are apart of the Saiyan race, brother."

Goku didn't say anything and looked on at the man in disbelief, so Raditz continued. "We Saiyans are a warrior race who destroy and auction off planets for a great amount money. We're the strongest race in the universe, no one can stop our race. Until a few years ago when a meteorite wiped out our entire planet and people."

"What a shame," Goku mocked.

"A shame indeed," Raditz rolled his eyes, detecting Goku's sarcasm. "That's why I need you, Kakarot. There's only a handful of Saiyans left in the entire universe. We'll need your help, and after we conquer another planet, we'll be be taking this one as well."

"I'll die before I let that happen!" Goku declared loudly.

"That could be rearranged," Raditz smirked. "Last chance, brother. Join us or die."

"I said no!"

Raditz smile simply deepened, and was about to progress forward until he saw a small tail from behind Goku. "I couldn't help but notice the small, adorable girl you're desperately trying to protect from me. Is that your daughter?"

"No, leave her out of this!" The young father practically begged.

"Can't do that, Kakarot. She has Saiyan blood in her, which means she could prove useful to the rest of us; maybe even more useful than you because she actually has a tail. Sorry not sorry but I'm gonna have to take her as collateral."

"Daddy, I'm scared," Tori admitted while trying to avoid her uncle's deranged stares.

"You don't need to be, I'm right here," Goku told her.

"Don't make empty promises, Kakarot," Raditz laughed. "Give me the girl."

"Never!"

Raditz neared his brother with large strides barely giving Goku enough time to push Tori away from him so he could fight. Goku turned around to face his older brother but was too late when he felt a fist fly across his face, throwing him one hundred yards out of the house.

"Daddy!" Tori tried to run towards her hurt dad but was caught by the tail by her uncle. "Ah!"

"Stop! Y-You're hurting h-her!" Goku cried out, still in evident pain.

"I know exactly what I'm doing. You can have this," Raditz jiggled Tori by the tail causing her to holler out once more, "once you've killed one hundred humans. Line the bodies up in this same spot, and don't you think for a second I won't do a headcount. At least this will give me a day to spend time with my niece."

Raditz flew up into the air, smirking down at Goku. "I'll be back same time tomorrow. See you soon, brother, I'm expecting a lot from you."

"Daddy, save me!" Tori whined as she flew off tucked under Raditz's arm.

Goku stood up on shaking legs, glaring up where he last saw his daughter.

"NIMBUS!"
