CHAPTER 1: HOME?

_______________

A cracking voice made it's way to the young warrior's mind. "Arrival on set coordinates. Ready to..."

Raditz blinked his eyes open and yawned, just waking up from the hibernation state. He flexed his arm muscles a bit, stiff from the long trip in the, in his opinion, and almost everyone's, too small pod. He leaned back in the cushion of his own, long manes of spiky black hair and looked out of the small window in front of him.

Raditz raised an eyebrow. Nothing but the dark emptiness of outer space, filled with stars, far beyond any reach. The screen of the pod's computer beeped and blinked red.

The cracking voice spoke again "Warning! Warning! Detection of Landing area failed."

"You're supposed to land on the planet Vegeta-sei, you piece of shrunk!" said the teenager annoyed.

"Searching... Search of planet S-275 failed."

"What?? You stupid baka, you probably just went to the wrong coordinates!!! Go to the right coordinates of Vegeta-sei this time."

"Error. The requested coordinates are the current location. Coordinates: 659-E379-S-27."

Raditz flinched for a few seconds. The coordinates were indeed right... but where is the planet then? He leaned forward to the small window and looked through. "Nothing... nothing at all... not even the moon.. but .. how?...." He fell back in the seat, with a very desperate look on his face.

"No sign of the planet... and no sign of any Saiyan at all either... how did this happen?.." He sat up again and took a deep breath. He sighed and his face sunk in his hands. His mind trying to find out what could have happened, but more important, what to do now?

Raditz looked back up. "Normally I should go to the nearest base of Freiza and report for the next assignment..." The Saiyan snorted. "Why the hell should I go back to that bastard... I bet he knows more of the destruction of my home planet.. but if he killed so many Saiyans already, he wouldn't care less to assassin another saiyan brat... kuso! Where can I go to then..."

He thought for a moment, digging deeply in his memory trying to find something, seemingly long forgotten. "There is still another Saiyan alive!" (A/N: I know, there are also Vegeta and Nappa, but Raditz doesn't know that) "My brother Kakarotto who was sent to some backwater planet... he must be still alive! What was the name of that planet again......Chikyuu-sei... yeah, that was it.. Computer, search the coordinates of the planet Chikyuu- sei!"

"Searching... location found. Planet E-924 coordinates: 506-K548-E- 92." "Take off to the planet of Chikyuu-sei!!!" "Confirmed. Preparing to travel to E-924. Estimated duration of the flight: 32 days and 7 hours."

Raditz layed back down sighing, while the pod turned and started moving. "Great... oh well, back to sleep... again...." The hibernation gas slowly filling the air of the space pod and the young warrior fell asleep quickly.
