I NO OWN

CRASH!

Over in the barren hills, a meteor like object shot out of the sky, creating its own landing place on the planet's ground in the form of a giant hole. Dust flew up in all directions as the metallic spaceship opened its hatch to the new world around it. The groggy long-haired Saiyan gripped the sides of his space pod to exit and levitated into the sky.

This would be the part where many would expect a brave farmer to drive up to the super powered alien with his gun, right?

The thought of a living creature around these parts was pretty ridiculous for someone to think about.

Raditz smirked in triumph and pressed the button on his trusty scouter. A power reading and location lit the screen in an alien language, showing him where he needed to go. With his destination located, his knee long hair fluttered behind him as he soared across the sky.

The heart of the world, West City, was flattened, the Capsule Corp building which stood larger than all others was lost among everything else. Craters, ruins from fires, and debris was all that could be seen to the far reaches of the city. Raditz would have been stunned, if he hadn't expected such from his baby brother in nearly 20 years of working time. He turned to look as far as he could, nothing he could see wasn't on the ground or charred. It was pretty obvious his baby brother didn't have many skills in working neatly, but if he was stuck in this dump for most of his life, he would take his time and savor the destruction too.

The Saiyan floated over to where the scouter pointed and looked downwards for the one he hasn't seen since he was a child himself. He couldn't believe it took him so long to remember his baby brother. A year in travel it took to get to the destroyed planet, but it would all be worth it soon.

The elder Saiyan couldn't help but grin evilly as a figure shot up from a blue explosion and became airborne as well. Wearing tattered animal skins and bearing the distinctive Saiyan tail, he looked at Raditz curiously, who in turn, unwrapped his tail from around his own waist. Kakarrot couldn't help but smirking as well. "About time brother."

It had been nearly 20 years since a Saiyan warrior had touched down on Earth, a planet relatively untouched by the evils, and wonders of their neighbors in space; where the majority of its inhabitants would never have guessed they weren't alone in their galaxy.

Son Gohan laid on the hammock of his hand built home, relaxing after his normal routine of a workout followed by washing his clothes in the lake. Every day he would take a nap at the same time in the calm setting of Mount Paozu. Just as his eyes began to close, he shot back up with a big "BOOM" following. The former legendary martial artist ran out of the house trying to simultaneously pull his jacket on.

The muffled crying Gohan heard became many times louder as he traced the sound to a crater in the north. Walking over to the edge slowly, his jaw nearly dropped at the sight of the young boy sitting in the middle of the hole in the ground crying his eyes out. Jumping into the crater himself, Gohan ran over to the boy and picked him up to shush his crying.

"There, there little boy. Are your parents anywhere around here?" Not expecting an answer he smiled at the young boy and the gift that was given to him. He chuckled in his carefree way and held the boy up. "Let's go take you back and get some clothes on ya all right?"

Kakarrot broke out in tears again as Gohan nearly fell over anime-style. He cradled the young Saiyan and jumped out of the crater, clearing it by many feet. The boy stopped crying at his stunt, much to the martial artist's pleasure, as they made their way down the beaten path.

"Now what to do with you…" Gohan rubbed his chin looking at the boy staring at him from on top of his hammock.

"I don't know the first thing about parenting…not that I ever had a girlfriend." He added. "Well I guess I'll have to go get supplies from town…" He thought out loud.

Kakarrot looked back at him with the biggest sneer a baby could muster up, which looked like he had to use the bathroom more than anything else.

"Will you be able to stay here alone for awhile?" 'Can't take him with me…' He looked at the baby's face cluelessly then snapped his fingers. Walking over to the other end of the home Gohan pulled a sheet from a small cabinet and picked up Kakarrot to wrap it around him like a diaper. A minute into frustration of pulling and maneuvering the sheet around the baby, the boy stopped wiggling against him all of a sudden and melted into the elder's arms in weakness.

"Eh?" Frantically he pulled the intertwined sheet off the Saiyan baby in terror. 'Oh no what if I broke his special parts? When this kid grows up he's never gonna forgive me.'

"Phew." He sighed happily as the baby popped back to his pushy self once he got the makeshift diaper off him. "Glad he's okaAIEEE!" Kakarrot's tail fell with gravity as Gohan's eyes bulged out of his sockets. "Oh my how long has that been there?" Gohan looked up at Kakarrot's face and smiled. "Well we're gonna have to get this thing back on one way or another." He chuckled.

Once the diaper went on he waved at his 'son' goodbye and began running at Olympic speeds to town.

Kakarrot promptly moved his attention away from the open door and at the room around him. It was small compared to other homes, but to a baby it was still quite large. It had no indoor plumbing or electricity, and was true to a country life.

The boy teetered in the hammock for a bit, then peered over the edge and immediately dropped onto the floor. So many things a baby could explore…

"Diapers…toys…baby food…" Gohan scratched his chin thoughtfully. "I must be forgetting something…"

The old man stood in the aisle of the grocery store for a moment until it clicked in. Hopping to another aisle, he grabbed a can of instant milk and threw it in his shopping basket. Smiling at his good deed, he pushed the cart to the front of the store and began to unload all the contents. He thought back at the last time he had been to the city, it had to have been years…

The cashier gave him his total and accepted Gohan's payment, pulling a receipt out from the register.

"Keep the change madam." He said happily to the teenage employee. Walking out, the cashier looked at the money he had given her with wide eyes. Unknown to the non city living old man, the bills he had given her were worth many times what they were the last time he spent zeni.

"Well that's everything." He muttered looking at the receipt. Gohan took the bags up that were sitting on the ground next to him and began to run back to his peaceful home.

Kakarrot picked up the pole leaning up against the wall and pulled it out of its case. The red had a slight glow to it, and if it had a mind of its own, extended to poke a hole in the roof and beyond. The Saiyan baby gasped at the surprise and let it go, contracting the power pole back into its original size in front of the child. Picking it up again, it shot upwards through another hole and stopped with the force of an object flying above.

The innocent dinosaur which had been flying over head's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when the red object slammed into his stomach. As the pole contracted again, the beast stopped flapping its wings and fell onto the roof unconscious. While the baby just sat looking at the visitor, the dino gave a last cough and closed its eyes. The Saiyan looked at his new toy and grinned, then went back to fishing for birdies.

What would be inhuman speeds was nothing to Gohan, one of the world's strongest, he scaled the mountain, bags and all, ready to get back to the baby of terror. Gohan grinned and opened the door as he made it home. "Is anybody…eh…?"

Kakarrot grinned at him, power pole in roof was caved in my several flying creature's bodies, holes, and lack of support under its own weight. The floor was covered with whatever had used to be on the roof.

Gohan broke out into laughter to the baby's surprise, and to his displeasure, he came up and embraced him in a hug.

"Well I guess no one's gonna come back and getcha!" He chuckled. "Well at least I know what I'm eatin' tonight!" He said thinking of the creatures sprawled out across the home. Kakarrot looked back as him sourly. "Oh that's right!" Setting the baby on the hammock again, he started taking baby items out from the bags and setting them on the floor. In no time, there was a neat assortment of blocks, balls, and other toys on the floor, plus diapers and food on a small pedestal.

"How would you like to try out these toys little tyke?" Gohan hummed and lifted Kakarrot up, only to be hit with the baby's squinting expression followed by a tremendous odor.

Sniff. Gohan plugged his nose and sat the child on the pedestal, reaching for the bag of diapers. Seeing the old timer putting work over him almost gave the baby a satisfied thought as he wrestled away from him kicking and wailing. A few kicks in the face, slaps, and dodges of flying poo later, the baby was finally fully equipped with a white store brand diaper. As if to throw Gohan off even more, he began to cry harder, pulling off his diaper as he went on. Gohan sighed to himself and sat the baby on the floor with the toys, which satisfied his prolonged wailing.

Kakarrot looked at the blocks quizzically, draining the house of any noise until a wood block went CRACK against the martial artist's head.

For miles away, weary animals that had come to live around and develop a trust for the old man stayed far away from that house in the woods, as the sound of crashing, crying, and protesting could be heard from miles away. For hours, the poor man attempted to quiet and satisfy the angry newborn, taking hits from flying objects and an occasional diaper.

When the evening was way past coming to a close, and the package of diapers was half gone, the duo sat outside lounging, as the fire slowly cooked the animals that were the victims of an extending red pole under the moon-lit sky. Once the creatures of all sorts were cleared off the roof, the holes were visible, and had extended, crumbling until almost the entire roof was on the ground.

The pole now slung over his back, Gohan slowly turned the Pterodactyl tied to a stick over the fire and looked up at the late night sky. The boy, who was now sleeping on a log across from him, had almost a calming effect to him, as the monster child was able to drift off to sleep. Not that he had ever had taken care of a baby before, he was pretty sure not all babies had enough energy to fight off diapers for the amount of time he did.

In the weirdest way, he saw himself in that boy, burning passion and fighting talent. Turning the meat continuously, and stirring the baby formula with his other hand on the chance the child would wake up starving, he began watching the smoke as it floated up to the moon above.

Gohan sat in his chair as the boy rested peacefully on his hammock. The excess meat was left above the fire, as the old man didn't have the energy to put it away. He silently pulled off his jacket and draped it over the snoozing boy across from him to keep him from catching a cold. He looked at the sunset and the hint of light that was due to be emerging from the sky in a short while. Hearing a mumble, he looked over at the baby, who was opening his eyes to wake up from his sweet sleep. Gohan chuckled at Kakarrot's stamina and moved his chair closer.

"Sleep well?" The baby, who had not even acknowledged him looked up at the sky somberly, uncomfortable and even…scared about where he was, and why he didn't feel right. What the poor boy didn't know was, his family, and race were all murdered just a short time ago.

As if searching the sky would reveal an answer to him, he fixated his gaze to only what was above.

"Hm?" The old timer looked at the boy frightened. The youngest Saiyan's eyes were glazed over and frozen in one spot in the sky. Checking to make sure he was all right, he poked the Kakarrot and jostled him a bit. To his relief, the boy's chest was moving up and down continuously, even with his completely limp body.

THUMP THUMP

THUMP THUMP

Gohan looked at his beating chest in horror.

THUMP THUMP

THUMP THUMP

As the sound gradually increased in volume and accelerated to an inhuman heart rate, his breathing became deeper, his eyes completely blank, and his baby fat taking the form of muscles, a fierce growl let loose from the child's throat. Slower than the normal transformation, the Saiyan began to increase in size, growing hair all over his body, and forming a large snout. Gohan backed away slowly, keeping eye contact as the shadow overcame him, showing itself as a large ape.

The now Oozaru Kakarrot let out a roar in accomplishment at his first full moon transformation, oblivious to the world around him, and the horror of the man below.

"Oh my…" He jumped backwards to avoid the stomp of the Saiyan child, which left a large print in the ground where he was a second ago.

"Never seen a child do this before." The old master jumped back again to avoid Kakarrot's other giant foot. "Eh?" The Oozaru's fist thrusted at him with its entire force behind it. Such an attack could be the end of someone, if they didn't happen to be one of the strongest people in the world that was. He easily leapt on top of Kakarrot's giant fist and made a peace sign with his fingers.

The angered Saiyan attempted to swat him off to no avail. The grinning old man kept his balance on the Oozaru as he flailed his body in attempt to get him off. "Over here!" The old man poked the giant ape on his face, then jumped on top of his head to avoid another on coming fist. "Heheh…" He grinned again at the child's futile attempts and jumped before he conked himself on the head with his own fist.

ROAAA-

The Oozaru fell on its front as the old man touched down next to him nearly silently. He thought to himself for a moment as Kakarrot continued to lay face down nearly unconscious. "Now let's see here…" He walked over the giant ape's tail and scratched his chin. "Maybe it has something to do with this…" Gohan lifted the tail up and observed it, gaining a whimper from the Saiyan. His limbs went limp and his whining softened. The old master dropped the tail and laid on it peacefully looking on as the full moon disappeared and the sun began to rise. A smile crossed his face, despite his half destroyed house, as he realized what a special boy he had.

First chapter! Whoo! Tried to make it a bit long for a good start. What an evil little baby…good luck Son Gohan!

It's pretty hard to determine just how much Kakarrot will remember, since Raditz expected him to remember it all when they reunited in the first episode.

Of course, please R&R with any comments, suggestions, things ya wanna see happen, or if you like the fic so far :D
