A/N: Espeon804 here with another great chapter! School is trying to kill me already. I have been in school this year for 2 weeks now and already they are me with math homework and SAT prep stuff. You guys know that I am trying to get mainly A's and B's so studying is my goal... as much as I hate it. Updating will happen less often but you must be wondering how I am able to update quicker than usual. I can update 1 chapter every two weeks if I am just working in this fanfiction. I have my own phone now so I can go on Google docs and work on them there whenever I am done with school work. I type during free time in class and during my lunch period so I can get things done too.

Odd fact: So yeah, some of you know that I am a 16- year-old girl in the 11th grade. I love Pokemon and Dragon Ball. I hate it when I read fanfictions and people mess up the characters so bad. To be completely honest, I don't even swear. I am not a fan of violence though I can handle blood, not gore.

Random guy: So if you don't cuss and don't like violence, explain why you are writing this fanfiction!

Well, I asked myself the same question. It's Dragon Ball. It can't be a Dragon Ball fanfiction without violence and well, cursing in some places. Staying in character is what is important and we know that Vegeta would use every word in the book... Well, that's the Japanese dub. I don't cuss at all. My friends are so eager to hear me say one curse word. Notice how my Author Notes don't have any cursing in them.

Here's the thing. When I write my fanfics my mind is so into the plots I focused well into what I am typing so sometimes I am unaware of what I did until I read it myself. Then a think "Wow. Did I really type that?" Like the previous chapter when Goku punches clean through Recoome's chest. I was like "Wow." But not shocked. Gut punches are very common in Dragon Ball anyway.

I do this for the readers. Think about it. If this was all kid friendly and too nice,nobody would be reading this! Heck, I watch "Inuyasha" and that show has more blood than Dragon Ball! Doesn't bother me. I should test myself by watching "Attack on Titan."

I am pointing that out because there is a lot of language in this chapter because there will be a lot going on!

Well, enough of that. Let's go on. Urgh. I hate typing disclaimers but it must be done.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DB, DBZ, DBGT, DBZKAI, OR DBS! All rights go to Akira Toriyama, Funimation, Toei Animation, and however else is involved.

If I do own it, Goku will have some kind of way to have his tail back! They should really do that in the future episodes of "Dragon Ball Super". It would be cool. Vegeta should have been able to grow his back. I wonder why not yet?

Key:

"Talking"

"Speaking another language/ Thoughts"

'Telepathy'

- Chapter 2: Brothers stick together, keep your tail out of trouble! -

Last time on "The retaliation of the Earthling Saiyan":

"Wow. Aren't you a tough one! After all that and you are still willing to fight me huh? You know, I've heard that your father is the same way. I guess they grow up stubborn on your world huh?" He laughs and shouts; "I should know! I am stubborn too!"

"You mock me and my father for the last time!" Raditz begins to run for him, ignoring every painful step as he gets closer. He growls loudly as he springs at Recoome and thrust his fist forward only to have his attempted punch to be dodged. Recoome has jumped over him and he is still going through from under, passing by between his legs.

"Haha!" Recoome slams his ankle against Raditz's neck. A loud snap is well heard followed by a half gasp half yelp from the Saiyan.

"NO!" Kakarot screams at what he just witnessed. Raditz's eyes go blank as he falls on the ground, this time lying motionless. Quickly he jumps into a short flight and lands next to his brother and begins to shake him. "Raditz! Raditz!"

Jeice's scouter stops beeping and just lets out a long sound before it turns itself off. "Well, look at that. Raditz's power level just feel to zero. He didn't last as long as I expected."

He takes a deep intake of breath realizing what exactly just happened. Raditz's pupils are colorless. His body twitches a few times before it goes still. "Raditz…" Kakarot places a hand under his neck and tries to lift his head but it awkwardly falls back further than normal, and turns over clumsily to the left. His brother's neck is broken. Kakarot can't sense his energy at all. Either Raditz is barely alive or dead. Still, this is strongly unforgivable. He can feel his blood boiling inside him hotter than before.

"Aw come on! None of these Saiyans even lasted a minute with me! That was boring! If I knew how weak they were I would had never challenged them! What's the point on being here?!" Recoome complains.

"Well, this is what they get for challenging Lord Frieza. They can share the same fate as their planet." Jeice says. "Look at the bright side Kakarot. As soon as you die you can be reunited with your brother. Doesn't that sound like a good deal?"

Kakarot gently places his brother's head back down on the ground. He stands and glares at Recoome with the same look he gave Raditz weeks ago when he believed that he killed his son. This time it's no test. This is real. "You…. how dare you…THAT WAS MY BROTHER!"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know!" Recoome apologizes sarcastically. "How about make it up to you by killing you so that you can see your family again! That way you won't ha-"

"Shut up."

The Ginyu's and the still conscious Prince Vegeta take notice on the normally more gentle and calm collected fighter Saiyan's change in attitude.

"Hey, what's your problem mate? It's a great bargain!" Jeice shouts. "Why would you turn it down?"

Kakarot doesn't answer. He simply stares at Recoome.

"Fine then! I will just do it for you! Say goodnight!" Recoome lunges at the Saiyans and punches him on the stomach. As the Saiyans falls to one knee Recoome rises and elbow to finish him off. "Say hi to your brother for us okay! Recoome… ELBOW!" He thrust it down but instead of hitting the warrior, the Saiyan's hand catches it. "HUH?!"

Kakarot's ki flares up in a golden like arua. His hair flows widely as his head rises slowly. he looks dead into Recoome's eyes as he bares his teeth with a collection of feral growls escaping his pupils has apparently faded leaving his eyes blank white.

"Wh-what… What is happening?!" Jeice's scouter beeps rapidly as it tries to get a clear reading. "P-power level… 30,000… 34,000… 40,000… 50,000?!" It stops beeping and straight fear covers his face. "I-impossible!"

Burter gulps. "His power level is at… 80,000! What the hell did that come from?! It was at 5,000 not too long ago! he had his true power suppressed all this time?!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Kakarot's arua sends Recoome skidding back a couple feet.

Vegeta cannot believe what he is witnessing. He wipes his eyes to be sure that what he sees is a lie but it proves to be true. "No… this cannot be happening… Has he finally done it? Kakarot... not him! He is a low-class! How could scum like him become… become a Super Saiyan?!" He watches as the enraged Saiyan sends a powerful uppercut on Recoome, sending the brute fying back. "Legends say that it happens only when Saiyan has the potential. I have to admit that Kakarot and even Raditz has exceeded the normal limitations of an average Saiyan but… these are just old stories. I never believed in them. Even if this is true, only an elite like myself and Nappa should be eligible achieve it! Not him!"

Kakarot can't think clearly. It is as if something has took complete control of him. All that he can think about is to kill Recoome and the others, and anyone else who dares to cross him. He lunges forward and headbutts Recoome hard and they both shoot through a boulder, taking it down like a wrecking ball. He gives no time for Recoome to even stand. He grabs him by the arm and punches him through the chest. The Saiyan pulls back out and Recoome falls dead.

"AH!" Jeice gasps and Burter takes a few steps back. "H-he's gone mad! It is as if he turned into some kind of vicious animal!"

"He killed Recoome without breaking a sweat! WHAT IS HE?!" Burter shouts.

Vegeta is shocked by what he just witnessed too. "Kakarot… has always been so stubborn on killing. He wouldn't even go far as breaking someone's neck unless he feels that he wants to! But this… He… he punched clean through Recoome's chest without second thought!" He watches Kakarot's head whip over to the two Ginyu's direction. "Wait a minute… legends say that a Saiyan does grow more aggressive when ascended, but the way Kakarot is acting does not match what I've heard." He begins to think. Once again his face shows shock but, even more than previously. "He has became what is known as… a False Super Saiyan… He's close to becoming the legend itself. That explains his brutal behavior! Still… he is too close to surpassing me… how does he get his power in outburst like that?!"

"He's coming for us Burter!" Jeice warns.

"I can see that! He won't last long! Let's go!" Burter says.

"Fools. They have no idea what just took place." Vegeta grumbles. "The real hell's about to begin…"

- Now -

The very moment he opens his eyes, he would have screamed with the agony he is feeling if he could.

Sharp, so very sharp and throbbing pain. He can't move. His whole body is just twitching. All that he can do is listen to the blood rushing in his ears, and the pounding of his heart, a sure sign that he is still alive. He wonders to himself; "What the hell happened?"

His fingers lift, grasping tightly on the grass as his throat bursts out a terrible sound. He feels something trying to escape from his chest. He coughs it out and is horrified to see a mouthful of thick red blood fly from his mouth. He shuts his eyes tight, groaning as the pain throbs even worse. He can barely breathe. His head won't even shift slightly. Every time he tries to move, only causes straight pain to go all towards his neck. Now he remembers.

Recoome broke his neck.

He would curse if he could. He can't even call for his brother that he needs right now. He can't speak. The most sound that comes out of him is his groaning and gasping. He gasps for air like a fish gasping for water. Still, he fights for his words to come out. "Kaa... K-kakaa... rrr...rrrrooo...urrrrr...GWAH!" He coughs out another mouthful of straight blood. He knows it won't be long. He regained consciousness but, he is still dying. His vision is irritability blurry and sound is distorted. He can see the foggy image of what could be his brother moving so quickly. His fingers stretch as if he is reaching for him... reaching for Kakarot.

"Why... No matter the situation you are always the last one standing... You fight without fear, even if you know that your enemy outclasses you many times over..." His fingers give in to gravity and lays still. Each passing second he can feel himself slipping away from reality. His vision starts to fill with black spots. The enraged cries he is hearing from his brother is becoming even more distorted. His body shakes with a ripple of pain.

Oh how badly he wishes he can't feel anything right now.

His throat begins to grow warmer until a hot sensation fills it. Another groan escapes from it only much more depressing. "Why am I so weak?! I am always shoved aside... to the brink of death. Now it is happening again. Kakarot, you have outshined me once more... and... here I am just laying helpless... while you unleash your wrath to avenge me. The pain of loss you call it... Is that the source of your power brother...?" He shuts his eyes and opens them. The block spots still linger and are growing bigger.

"Who am I to live on?"

Bardock... Gine... The two images of the Saiyans appear in his mind. "Father... Mother... I had you die in vain. Even though Kakarot was the one who forgotten everything about us... And befriended the race be was supposed to had killed... I am the one who brought great shame to you by not believing in him. As hard as I try, I can't even come close to seeing Frieza... Who am I to live on?"

The past plays in his head. This is it. His life.. flashing before his eyes. He sees his parents, his brother as an infant, his life as a soldier, him meeting his brother as an adult. The image of his little brother is replaced with his father for only a second. Then he hears laughter. Straight evil merciless laughter that can be recognizable as Frieza. The image of his parents appear. It gets engulfed with flames and burns away revealing the face of Frieza. He can see his home Planet exploding and the only sound that remains is that laughter.

"I was such a fool to have not listened sooner." The hot feeling inside his throat becomes unbearable. He exhales heavily and a hoarse sound bursts out from him. Another image appears. He sees himself as a child looking at his baby brother inside the pod that sent him to Earth. Then it begins to fade into darkness. As much as he tries to hang on to the last sight of his life, it continues to fade away. "Kakarot... Don't you dare fail them as I did... Otherwise... I will never forgive you again..."

The sensation in his throat is now burning. He knows that he can't hold it back anymore. He doesn't deserve to live. Vegeta and Nappa would agree. They would just let him die for being a weakling. His blurred sight is now distorted from the liquid building up in his eyes. A warrior should never cry. They should die with their honor intact.

What honor?

He has none. He has always been the weaker one. All his life he has been treated like trash. What kind of pride does he have right now? None. It was murdered in cold blood under Frieza's tyranny with a simple kick to the neck.

He is nothing.

Finally he lets it go. The salty tears flow down his face. As hard as he tried to suppress them, the emotion he is feeling has finally overwhelmed him. Despair, pity, anger, regret. He will forever be know as a failure to his kind.

So everything fades away.

"Who am I to live on?"

"You are my eldest son. That is who you are Raditz."

"What...?" A bright yellow light is blinding for a few seconds. It becomes almost dim, and in the light stands Bardock and Gine side by side. "Is that... Are you really here?"

"Today is not the day Raditz." The voice of his parents are said in sync as their eyes look well and deep inside his soul. "If you let yourself die... Kakarot would be doing this for nothing. He knows that you are still alive. He is fighting to protect you... the general... and our prince all together."

Raditz finds it easy to stand up in the mysterious void he is in. He stares at his parents who just stand there, not even attempting to come any closer to him. "How do you know this? I don't stand a chance! I am dying! Kakarot has long surpassed me! I lack in my own potential!"

"You are allowing the words you were told to get in your head. Your brother never lets anyone stand in his path, with his loss memories, he was still the same fighter. He fights for what he believes it. Look deep inside yourself. You have the power just like any other true Saiyan. It's Frieza who locked it away from you. He locked it away from all of us! You must find it and use it! Kakarot can't fight on his own forever." Slowly his parents are shrinking. They are shrinking from his sights.

"You know that I have always lacked with my own strength!"

"It is not your time. Your brother needs you. He needs you to avenge us all. You have grown more powerful than you were the past year. You wanted to prove everyone wrong. Don't miss the chance..." They are shrinking farther away.

He doesn't want them to go. Before he realizes it he blindly runs after them. It is as if he is a child again, running for his mother's arms when he needed her most. Running for his father when he needed motivation. Still they fade further away. He extends his arms and tries to reach for them but they are far out of reach. "Wait! Father! Mother! Wait!" They are mere dots now. "What do you mean...?"

They are gone. Raditz just stares into the deepness of the yellow void. It fades away and slowly, the blurred word returns. Black spots dance everywhere. He still can't move. Still, what his parents said sparked something powerful inside of him.

Something falls in front of him.

Raditz tries to make out what it is but the way his eyes are acting makes it impossible to make out.

'Eat it Raditz. Tell me that you are still alive... Eat it.'

The voice ringing inside his head is what sounds like his brother. He still can't make out whatever was dropped in front of him but his mind screams for him to eat it. Once again his fingers stretch and grips on the grass as if it is the only motivation to keep him moving. He feels his life slipping away and he fights it. The item is touching his nose. He can feel it. He tries to move his head but he fails to make it budge.

The ground shakes violently from what is recognizable as a powerful explosion. The item bounces from right on his nose and begins to roll away from him. He can't let it go away. He needs it.

Another explosion forces the item to bounce. Now it flies over his mouth…

... And in time he catches it, shutting his mouth tight. A loud noticeable crunch comes from what is obviously a small food item breaking in his teeth. He forces himself to chew and he swallows. For a few seconds he believes that what he heard is just a joke and he ate some random thing for no reason. Then a powerful sensation fills his body making him have second thoughts. His muscles strain for a few seconds causing great pain. The pain suddenly vanishes, along with all the pain he felt before. He blinks and his vision become clear. Sound is no longer distorted. His whole body is boiling as he gets on his knees and then, on his feet. He is shocked by this. His neck was broken before and now... He is completely healed.

He looks over to Vegeta who stands fine as well. He looks at Nappa. The general too is back on his feet. He is confused on how this happened. At least he's not the only one. The two elite warriors looked around just as puzzled. None of this is making any sense. His brother is fighting in the sidelines far off from their location. To make matters even more confusing he could have sworn that Kakarot spoke to him earlier but, the way things are looking from his angle... is it him or has his little brother gone berserk?

The Saiyan general flexes his arms for a handful of seconds. "Did any of you catch sight of who gave us those beans that healed us so quickly?"

"I thought Kakarot done it. Then again he is up there." Raditz points far ahead. His brother stands feet away from Jeice and Burter. The golden aura illuminates light all over him, making his skin have a yellowish color and his black hair looking almost brown.

"What the hell?! What is happening to Kakarot?!" Nappa is clueless on what change has happened to the brain damaged warrior. The normally the goofy fighter is currently acting the most brutal he has ever been. It's clear when Nappa watches him headbutt Jeice harshly.

Jeice stumbled hard and forces his feet to regain their hold on the ground. "His power level is unreal! Wasn't this low class under us earlier?!" He exclaims as he gets into a stance. "The scouter says that he is in 80,000! Mine is only 48,000! Surely it's acting up or something!"

"No better reason than to resort to the Purple Comet Crash!" Burter shouts at his comrade. "He may have gotten strong but he can't defeat us so easily!"

"It's been awhile since we came to that conclusion huh? Alrighty then!" The Australian sounding alien flies up to the skies with his partner. Red swirling aura surrounds him as a sphere.

Burter hovers a little far from him and does the same with unique purple energy.

The two fly at each other and the spheres collide, becoming a red and purple disk like swirl. "PURPLE COMET CRASH!" Many energy disk fly out of it and are aimed for the Saiyan warrior. Kakarot becomes even more reckless by flying right towards it in intention to attack the last two present members of the Ginyu Force.

"Is he blind or is he insane?!" Nappa is disapproving the way the low class is fighting. "What the hell is he thinking going for them like that?!"

"Kakarot's gone berserk." Raditz spreads his feet with his eyes locked on the disk heading for his brother. "He is not thinking rationally. He'll just get himself killed." He sees his brother making a sharp turn to dodge a handful of the deadly disk. They are raining down to the ground. It dawns to him that missing Kakarot means they are the next unplanned target. After hearing the message from his parents he knows what he has to do.

Instead of running away he plants his feet on the ground and crosses his arms over his face. The disks slams on an invisible shield that surrounds his body. They all bounce off as if they made contact with a unpoppable balloon and leave deep gashes on the ground around him.

"What?!" A scowl covers Vegeta's face. He just witnessed Raditz protecting himself in some kind of way without having to dodge. Whatever he did was not done before. It is almost unbelievable on how strong he is now. Any much further one if those brothers may be able to surpass him! It's unthinkable! A low class surpassing an elite! "How could this be? Has Raditz done it? No... Not him too! There is no way he could be a Super Saiyan!" His teeth are grinding so powerfully it can be heard. He isn't even aware of the attention he's getting.

Nappa taps the prince's shoulder. Vegeta's answer is a low growl. "Uh... Vegeta? Is everything okay over there? You don't look so good."

"I'm perfectly fine Nappa. Just keep your eyes on the battlefield." Vegeta grumbles. He is in no mood to explain what the problem is. "From the way things are going I will have to make some considerations to either slow them down or try to keep the gap growing. Kakarot is the main problem here. Raditz is right behind him. I won't let either of them come close to getting stronger than me!"

Raditz glances over his shoulder. Vegeta is not happy. The prince knows how close he is in becoming as strong as him, especially with the power boost they got from being close to death. Vegeta had his too but Raditz had the most of it. He speaks to himself in a volume low enough for Vegeta and Nappa to not hear. "I'll have to be careful to not show too much. Even I myself has no idea how much stronger I am now."

"Wh-whaaa?!" Jeice and Burter are apart. They both stare at Raditz with sweat coming down their faces. "How?! Wasn't he almost dead earlier?!"

"Recoome took them all down but they are back up on their feet!" Burter points out. His scouter suddenly beeps and he turns around in time to receive a uppercut that takes him off his feet.

"How did he?!" Jeice fires a blast at the engaged Saiyan but Kakarot side steps out the way and throws two fist at his chest and he is knocked down and skids on the grass leaving a long new dirt path. Just as Kakarot jumps and throws his foot down to kick his face, Jeice sends a frenzy of Ki attacks and it batters the Saiyan. He chuckles in relief as the warrior falls down. "Thought you had me for a minute. You underestimated me monkey."

Kakarot pushes himself back up as if nothing happened. His shoulder has a bloody gash and scratches cover his arms but he is unaffected by his injuries. If anything he looks even more pissed. His pupiless eyes lock on to Jeice. His feet springs from the ground and he pushes them for Jeice's chest. Before it could make contact his ankles are caught by Burter.

"You won't win so easily as long as I am around! I am the fastest in the universe remember?" Burter still holds on to the Saiyans ankle, not affected by the trashing the warrior is giving him to break free. "Hey Jeice! I got him! He can't move!"

"Ah, perfect! Time to end this madness!" Jeice walks over to Burter and presses his palm on the Saiyan's face. "How about it then? This outta hurt a lot! How disappointing! You won't have the chance to get your three wishes after all!"

"Three?!" Vegeta is unsure if he heard that right. Are these Namek Dragon Balls more powerful than the Earth Dragon Balls? Perhaps their limitations are not as narrow as Earth's. If this is true, he can get more than just immortality!

"I don't get it still. If this whole Dragon Ball wish granting thing is true, then why is Frieza only going for immortality? He would use up one and still have two left! Why not give the last two to us?" Jeice wonders.

Burter seems almost irritated by the question. "Maybe because immortality is just enough! Maybe he will put the other two aside for the future! The Namekians haven't been lying!" He looks back at Kakarot. "And so hasn't these pitiful monkeys who informed us with this information about the items... though it wasn't intentional."

Raditz growls knowing well on what is about to happen. "Curse them! I can't stay watching forever! I have no choice!" His feet leaves the ground quicker than Vegeta could react. He lands hands fist on the ground using his hands to spin his body in a full circle while kicking both legs out, sweeping both Burter and Jeice nearly off their feet and freeing his brother. Just as the two try to go for him he kicks his legs up to throw himself back on his feet. As soon as he is in the ground his arms cross and he throws his them out to the side. A powerful sudden force flings the two away as if they were hit by a speeding car. The wind from the fast thrust blows the dirt powerfully and keeps the two ginyus flying.

Jeice screams as he tries to stop himself. Another good full seconds of spinning uncontrollably and he is back in control. He is almost speechless on what just happened. "How did he... do that? Is it me or is he stronger all the sudden?!"

Burter reads what his scouter his showing him. "His power level is at 65,000! It was at 30,000 before wasn't it?!"

Vegeta's and Nappa's eyes remain wide. Vegeta is the one who speaks up. "Did he just blow them away by simply throwing his arms out?!" His eyes finally narrow. "Insane... Just what is his true power? He must be holding it back."

Raditz lowers his arms and turns to his brother who is back in his feet about to do more of his reckless fighting. It's almost scary. Kakarot is far from himself. He has to calm him down before he kills himself or the wrong person. "Kakarot! Snap out of it!"

Kakarot probably can't hear him. His eyes are still focused on the two enemies that can't seem to stand down. He jumps for them gain with a rising fist. He is oblivious to Butter's speed and his easily he can catch him again. It is as if his mind is set to kill mode. It is probably all he cares about right now. Butter's smirk appears as the Saiyan comes closer. Just as he punches the alien vanishes in thin air.

"Damn it! Get out the way!" Raditz kicks his brother on the back sending him crashing on the ground. He received the punch coming from Burter instead on his side and he almost falls down. Burter didn't find this satisfying so he kicks away Raditz like a ball. He crashes not far from his brother.

The moment he felt the punch from Raditz and saw him crashing down next to him, his mind wraps up on what happened. "Huh?!" The arua dies down and his pupils return. "Raditz? You're alive?" He crawls over to him. He sees that his big brother's eyes are close. He shakes him lightly. "Hey-"

He never expected a arm to thrust up and a fist to land a good hook on the right side of his jaw. It forces his mouth to close on his tongue. "Ahhhhhh! DAMMIT!" His face falls on the grass as his hands cover his mouth. He can taste the blood from his bitten tongue flowing out. He shoots an angry glare at Raditz. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" His tongue is throbbing. It feels worse than biting the tongue accidentally when eating.

Raditz gets into a sitting position. "To knock some sense into you... Or maybe I just felt like it!"

"That was not nice of you!" Kakarot growls. He is very close to his brother's face.

"Who the hell ever said that I have to be nice to you?!" Raditz growls back.

Now Kakarot and Raditz are nose to nose. For a moment they they that way and it looked as if they were about to fight each other until Kakarot rose his hand and sighs. "Best if we hold that back." He points a thumb at the two ginyus. "Take whatever frustration you have on them. Not on each other."

Raditz folds his arms. He is a bit surprised that Kakarot is oblivious to what he has done earlier. If he isn't informed he would probably freak out at the wrong time. Knowing his brother, Kakarot hates getting his hands dirty. "By the way, are you even aware of what you had done?"

"What have I done?" Kakarot's face twist, a sign that he is definitely oblivious of his previous actions. He takes the hint by looking at his surroundings. The grass at many places appears to be dug out from the constant running. Blood stains the grass here and there. Recoome lies dead in the ground. "H-how did this... Did... I do all this?"

"Wow. You really don't remember?" Raditz says with a small chuckle. He grabs his brother's wrist of his right hand and rises it up to face level so that the young Saiyan can see what he is mentioning.

Kakarot's eyes become wide at the sight of the blood covering his right hand. "I-is this m-my blood?" He gulps. He really hopes it is. If it isn't he wouldn't know how to react. He doesn't remember how it got there.

Raditz shook his head. He points at Recoome's dead body. "You were really pissed the moment he broke my neck. Then you weren't acting yourself. You punched right through his chest in one clean shot."

Kakarot's face turns pale as his eyes go round and widder. His hand trembles as his head slowly turns to look at the body of Recoome. "I...I-I..." He dashes off before his brother could react. He stops in front of a lake and sinks his hands in the water desperately trying to wash the blood off. It stains his hands. It won't come off! He scrubs harder in hopes that it will disappear but it doesn't.

"Well... I didn't see that coming." Nappa mutters. "Then again he isn't use to these kind of things. I was expecting him to-" He is cut off hearing the sound of the freaking out Saiyan regurgitating. "Oh, there it is."

Raditz facepalms. "Kakarot I could have sworn I got you use to this by now." Then again, his brother has always been disgusted by killing anyone so cruelly. He punched through an stomach. Punching through a chest is worse since that is the source of all the blood. His brother did mention to him one time that he only kills so cruelly if his hand has been forced. Now he has to fix that again. His brother can be just like any other Saiyan... until he has to kill someone. "Can you do anything right?" He looks at his comrades and sighs. This is probably the most embarrassing thing that is happening right now. Their prince simply huffs and turns his back not wanting to see whatever is happening.

Jeice and Burter sees this as an opportunity to ambush them. They both jump from their places and dive for the two Saiyans. Raditz prepares himself to get into more action and suddenly Vegeta jumps in front of him and kicks Jeice back against Burter who was behind. Can't say he never seen that coming.

The Saiyan Prince crosses his arms over his chest in his signature "I am the prince of all Saiyans!" Pose. Still his face has a slight scowl. Even his voice has a hint of it. "Help your shameful brother regain his composure before you both return to the battlefield." His feet leaves the ground and he turns his attention on his enemies. Nappa flies up to him, joining the fight.

"Yes... Sir..." Raditz's hand covers his face. "Why? Why does my brother have to be so stubborn?"

The earthling Saiyan wipes his mouth with his arm and looks at his brother with a sick face. "Apparently... I can't do anything right..." He glances at his hands. The faint red stains still are there. He groans and resumes to scrubbing his hands.

"Damn it Kakarot!" Raditz grabs the collar of his brother's uniform from behind and pulls him up to his feet. "Enough! Vegeta is not happy with you! You're not a kid, you're not an Earthling, and you're damn sure not a Human! If so much blood disgusts you then why did you punch through Recoome like that in the first place?! You are so soft!"

"I don't know why Raditz, it just came to me. Before I knew it your neck was broken, then I felt like I was in fire and the next thing I know my fist went through his heart and he was dead. I tried to stop myself but I just kept going..." He looks as if he is about to get sick again. His hand clutches on his stomach. "So... much... blood..." His body jerks.

"Don't you dare! You are not serious right now?! Is your stomach weak too?! A true Saiyan warrior shouldn't get sick at the sight of blood, not even gore!" Raditz holds his brother up and sees that his face is relaxing. "Tch. This must be my fault. I should had told you to look the Humans physically, not with simple blast like you dead. Don't you recall breaking my tail? Punching through Raspberry's and Zarbon's stomachs and killing them? Your hand were covered with blood then!"

"I know but... I saw how bad I punched Recoome..." Kakarot clenches in his stomach even harder. "Please... Don't mention any more gut punches right now..."

"This is pathetic! Was there ever a time that you done worse?! Surely in the past before you learned about your Saiyan heritage you must've killed somebody worse than what I've seen!" Raditz shouts. "Pull yourself together! If anything this is a good chance for those two fools to ambush us while I am sitting here giving you a stupid and pointless lecture!"

A memory hits him. He was 12 years old at the time when he fought King Piccolo. He finished him off by punching right through his guys and going right through his body. He has done worse... This is not helping. He has to admit to himself that he would rather kill anyone with blast and not with punches. It disgusts him to be covered with some other person's blood.

Raditz frowns. This isn't going anywhere. Here he is, standing around here like a idiot trying to talk his brother out of his weak side again. He really really hates Earth for what it has made him into. It causes a lot of drawbacks that affects how his brother behaves. If this fight doesn't cure him, they are doomed to Frieza... well, maybe just them. The elites might live. At least they have better chances. "You have gotten far. This is your last obstacle. Don't you enjoy hearing those beg for mercy? The sound of them screaming is music to your ears. You can turn into a Giant Ape and you enjoy it all. But here you are suffering over the blood that stained your hands?! Once again you are acting like a child!"

"Because sometimes I am afraid of what I could be turning into. Are we really monsters Raditz? You saw what I did to Recoome. It just took over me and I killed him in cold blood."

Raditz finally understands his little brother's views about his kind. Kakarot is use to an easy life and only fought to protect. He still spared and hardly ever killed anyone. When he does, it traumatizes him. He feels regretful. He gets disgusted seeing what he is able to do. His eyes are use to seeing knockouts. Seeing himself being responsible with all the blood made him sick to his stomach... Literally. Raditz has to make his brother understand. "When I was dying, our parents spoke of his we both are needed alive to avenge them. In order to do that, you have to forget about your old life. You are a Saiyan Kakarot. We defeat our enemies with any means necessary. What you did was no exception."

Kakarot never expected to hear this coming from Raditz. His big brother dreamed of his parents. So he does still care about his family after all. He would learn more but the memory of what he recently did makes him feel queasy. "Raditz..."

Raditz turns his back. "Come to me when you are ready."

"Raditz..."

"What now? I have a fight to finish! Stop stalling me!"

"I don't feel so good..."

"Well of course you don't! What's the matter?! Can't handle it? You have guts but no glory! What's the point of joining us when you can't even take pride on who you defeat and how?!"

"It's a bit too much... I don't feel so good..."

Raditz is about to punch him now. Just as he turns around he sees the compressed expression crossing Kakarot's face. "Oh no! No, no, no, no, nooooo! Don't you even let-" He is interrupted as vomit splatters all over his boots.

Vegeta can be heard laughing in the background.

Quickly Raditz lifts his foot up and tries to shake the mess away with a look of disgust. His face turns blue and then red as he gets angry. Now he feels as if he's about to get sick. "WHY YOU!" He punches Kakarot hard on the head. "I am not tolerating your sorry shit anymore! You have really crossed me for the last time! Pull yourself together or lie in agony and die in the future! Earth is done for! Tell your body that! You will deal with far more bloody things than this in the future so deal with it!"

Kakarot will probably never get use to the punches he receives from his brother countless times. It's not his fault. He would often rather spare his enemies rather than kill them like he did Recoome. It makes him feel disappointed with himself for allowing his anger to get the best of him. He is not Human so why does he still react to death like one? He thought that he got over many things but this is one problem that still remains. That punch really did something to him. Before he knew it, be is back on his feet and angrily uppercuts his brother.

The surprised Raditz regains his loss of balance. He rubs his lower jaw while huffing. "I see that you still got your strength but you lack in aggression. It only come out when you see someone fall, not under your will. You need to learn how to bring it out at anytime. If you don't then what use does Vegeta have for you? I can't watch your back forever!" He looks at his boots again. "You disgust me sometimes. Where is your Saiyan nature? Do you have it or not?!"

The young Saiyan rises to his feet. His breathing is unsteady as his eyes become narrow. For some reason his eyes seem to be sparking into a deep fire of passion to fight. His mouth parts into a devilish grin that Raditz never saw on Kakarot's face before. As he speaks, his voice sounds almost harsh. "You want me to prove it? Fine then! This time I won't feel so disgusted with myself if that is what you want? You're trying to turn me into a monster?"

"That is what the earthlings believes. If you believe that too then I don't even feel sorry for you! You can't avenge the Saiyans if you don't act like one!" Raditz replies.

"Huh. At least I wasn't the one who got barfed on." Kakarot points out ignoring the growl he is hearing from his brother. "Don't blame me. Like you said, my eyes used to seeing something so... graphic. This time I will prove to you that I am not Goku anymore!" His Ki flares as he lets out a long scream. This catches everyone's full attention. "Planet Earth has scared me for life! I hate it for that! I will not be turned down again! Today I will prove to Frieza who I really am!"

Raditz finds himself forgetting about the whole boot incident by watching his brother finding his path to becoming the true warrior that he had in him all along. Kakarot is very goofy but he knew that deep inside his brother his true Saiyan pride is in there somewhere. As of now, he is witnessing 80% if it.

Kakarot's grin is truly noticeable now. The images of his past play in his head again and it makes him realize something. He remembers who he is. It's no longer a locked away memory. When his brother told him how he dreamed of his parents speaking for him to live on, Kakarot knows that he has a destiny to fulfill. "I am not Son Goku! I am not an Earthling! My name is Kakarot, and I am a proud Saiyan warrior!" His feet leaves the ground and he is next to the Saiyan prince.

"Oh? So little sick Kakarot has found himself again?" Vegeta says almost teasingly.

Kakarot ignored the insult. "Prince Vegeta sir, I will fight with you!"

"What?! Are you requesting to join us when you had all the action earlier?!"

"That is not what I mean. Do you sense Ginyu's energy?" He sees Vegeta's face become straight of concentration. "He's by himself with powers lower than ours. Even the biggest power on this planet is somewhere else. Frieza is not at his ship. From what I believe, Ginyu could be in watch of the Dragon Balls."

Vegeta gets the idea. A noticeable smirk crosses his face. "So you're saying that Frieza is not over there?"

"Who knows? Frieza may be looking for the seventh Dragon Ball that we need." Nappa says. "Kakarot probably wants us to go over there and steal all seven as soon as we defeat these guys."

"My brother and I can help you handle these two. The sooner we take them down, the better chance we have in banding together and taking down Ginyu before Frieza gets back with the last Dragon Ball. He will lose his chance to get his wish!"

Vegeta smirks widely. "Well... I suppose if you say so. Sounds like a good plan..." He exchanged looks with the general. "Right Nappa?"

"Yeah..." Nappa returns the smirk.

Suddenly Vegeta's and Nappa's Ki flares to revealance and they both jump up to the sky. The Saiyan Prince laughs. "I hope you enjoy yourselves you two! Hahahahahaaaaa!" He and Nappa disappears from sight.

"Vegeta!" Kakarot calls. "Come back! That wasn't part of the plan!" He gets ready to fly after him but Burter appears from nowhere right in front of him. "Out of my way!"

"Sorry but letting two Saiyans escape did not please me. I don't want two more to leave my sights." Burter turns down the Saiyan's demand.

Raditz growls at the situation. "He abandoned us! What the hell was that about?!"

"My guess? He wants all three wishes to himself. I am not surprised." Kakarot sighs. He had a feeling Vegeta was going to be the kind of guy to only care much about himself to these kind of things. "Or he could be testing us." Either option is still not a good thought. His head tilts to one side as he folds his arms now staring at the ginyus with a frown. He'll have to end them both quickly if he wants to catch up.

"I suppose that you are right Kakarot. This shouldn't be as bad as a problem as before anyway. We both have gotten stronger." He shoved aside the ditch the elite Saiyans pulled off. He smiles mischievously. "How do we do this... I know! Let's play a game!"

"A game?" Kakarot says delightfully. "I love games! What are we playing?!"

"Let's play " Which ginyu can survive the longest" Rules are simple; First ginyu down is the looser." Raditz explains.

"Aye! Are ya makin' a game outta us pal?!" Jeice asks this in a way that sounds as if he is offended by this. "That's our job!"

"So the tables have turned. How unfortunate." Raditz simply says while shrugging his shoulders. "At least it won't be so boring. Vegeta clearly ditched us which is rather annoying but at least he will get the Dragon Balls and not you two fools... because you won't live much longer."

"You're bluffing! We were twice as powerful as you when Recoome took you down! The scouters must be glitching! You couldn't have gotten so strong in a short period of time!" Burter exclaims.

"I will be honest. I was as powerful as you two then. Now am am twice more powerful than you." Raditz points out.

"Lies!" Jeice takes off for them with his partner. "C'mon Burter! I have enough with their big talk! I saw we take them down and humiliate them!" He and Burter stop right in front of them. "Alright you two! It is time for you to-"

He is cut off by a punch on the nose delivered by Kakarot.

Jeice screams in a way that sounds too close to a girl. His hands cover his nose as he stands there almost whining for several seconds. He uncovers his nose and it is revealed to be bloody broken. "You... How dare you punch my fa-"

"Don't want to hear it!" Kakarot throws up his knee and it makes contact with Jeice's stomach. The enemy falls hunched over. "Uh... Are you going to fight back or are you just gonna sit there and cry like a little baby?"

"Shut up monkey!" Jeice sends a right hook on the Saiyan's face and smirks as the warrior stumbled back. "That is what you get for-" He is kicked away like a ball.

"You guys sure do leave yourselves in the open. Is that some sort of strategy or something?" Kakarot wonders aloud.

"Curse you!" Burter springs for the young Saiyan as such speed Kakarot never had the time to even realize it was Burter who spoke. He grabs the Saiyan's arms and throws him against the ground. Before he could do more the hand of the older Saiyan grabs his wrist.

"Forgot about me!" Raditz throws Burter up to the air. The enemy vanishes as expected. Raditz prepares to go after him now locked in to his energy but he is kicked on the back. He spins around in time to block Burter's next punch but fails to block the kick sent to his chest that forces him to nearly fall. Burter vanishes again and Raditz gets a series of random hits just a about anywhere. He can't keep up well with his speed. "This guy is really getting on my nerves!" If he can't block him, might as well somehow catch him since dodging is clearly not an option. He tries to think of a plan but a fist makes a hard punch on his face. Raditz's eyes trail from the arm to its owner who just snickers at him. Raditz swings his arm with attempt to swat the foe but he dodges quickly and kicks done his legs. Raditz falls hands fist and ducks in time to avoid a hard kick. Just as he jumps back up a Ki blast hits him right on the face. Raditz bites back a scream from the scalding sensation.

"Oops. Did I burn your face?" Burter teases.

The Saiyan bares his teeth and tries to punch him but it is avoided easily and he receives another punch. This occurs a couple more times until he had enough. His wrapped tail glows orange before it whips out and smacks Burter down. The furry limb catches the alien's arm before he could crash on the ground. Burter tries to pull free from the grip but his efforts are ineffective. "How about you just stand still!" Raditz gathers Ki on one hand. "And... Keep your eye on the birdie!"

"How about you watch how you handle ya enemies!" The Australian accent means alerts Raditz if Jeice being nearby. He is too slow to react. Something bright whizzes past him and explodes on the ground. It was a pitiful blast but Raditz's body did not like that. His whole body freezes.

Kakarot couldn't stop it in time. Jeice simply fired a blast that he thought was meant for him but, it was for Raditz instead. He failed so deflect it and, he witnessed it shoot right through his brother's tail near the base. The limb falls on the ground with a faint thud and only squirmed for a second before lying still.

A second after that a terrible scream is heard from the long haired Saiyan. His legs shake heavily suddenly becoming weak before he drops to his knees. His eyes stare at the tail that was part of his body seconds ago. Did that just happened?! How could he had let it happen?! His hands feel for it but it's true. All that remains is a stub attached to his lower back where his tail was. His pain fades away as his anger consumes him. "Why... You son of a-"

"I did not see that coming!" Jeice laughs. "This is hilarious! He's tailless! It's like playing " Pin the tail on the donkey" but the opposite! "

"You mean " cut the tail off the monkey." Right?" Burter corrects him. He turns to Kakarot. "Hey, lets do it to him too! Then it will be twice as funny!" He laughs hard seeing Kakarot's eyes go wide in fear with his hands covering his rear. "Yeah! Let's torture them a bit before we finish them off!"

"You... you cut of my tail..." Raditz's eyes fill with hate. This is humiliating. No, it's far from that. Cutting off a Saiyan's tail is as bad as a Human being spat on... No worse than that. They have done the most disrespectful thing to be done to a Saiyan like him! He feels ashamed to have lowered his guard. Being tailless makes him like a Human! A weak pathetic Human! The thought of it makes him really angry. They've done it now! His sudden increase if power is detected on the scouters and be has the ginyus attention.

He shakes his head slowly, a sign that they just made a big mistake. "You shouldn't have done that." His right hand builds up pink and orange like static more intense than his Saturday Crush. In fact, it sparks out occasionally and it can be well heard. "SHINING FRIDAY!" It bursts out as a huge purple and pink ball of energy and it is aimed foes at point blank range. Dirt flies in the air from the explosion. It settled down revealing the two still alive starring at the deep bottomless crater he left behind. "D-dammit... They dodged it..." Raditz drops to the point that his hands also have to support his weight. "This is bad. I forgot how a tailless Saiyan is not as powerful as one with a tail..." His glare hardens. He almost had them both. "And they knew this..."

For a second Kakarot's eyes meet with Raditz's. He understands the pain of losing a tail. It makes him feel empty and powerless at times. Jeice and Burter are taking it too far. He focuses on them now. "You have no idea what you've just done." He says coldly as if he is the one who lost the tail. He begins to walk to then with his serious look. He is not playing around.

"What? Ya want us to say sorry?" Jeice asks. "This is what happens when you try to make games outta us! If ya brother wasn't so stupid to pull out his tail, maybe he would still have it right now don't you agree?"

Kakarot's face hardens. "If you wasn't so stupid to mess with us, maybe your ridiculous poses wouldn't be messed up now don't you agree?"

The mentioning of their team pose sparks realization. The two members freeze.

Burter begins to throw his arms around until they both stick out to the left as he drops to one knee. "BURTER!"

Jeice swings his arms in circles before throwing his head down and back up and dropping to one knee as well. He arms stick up above his head and his hands bend down. "JEICE!"

They stay in their poses for a few seconds and shame is written on their faces. Jeice is the most displeased about this. "Ever since we lost Guldo and Recoome of feels much more empty!"

"The balance is still intact but still we will have to come up with a new pose!" Burter asks. He looks back at the Saiyan and finds that he is not there anymore. "Gah! Where did he go?!"

"Right behind you."

Burter turns around only to have a boot hit his face. He had no time to retaliate. The Saiyan warrior batters his body with countless punches and kicks. He manages to block a handful but is still in shock of what is happening. "How is this possible! He shouldn't be able to do this!" His is punched down and his back gets slammed on with a pair of feet.

Jeice flies in to save his teammate. He is easily elbowed on the side sending him flying back a bit before he resorts to several Ki blast. They are all dodged mostly while a few hit but seem to only anger the Saiyan more. "This guy! He's trying to outsmart us! That's it! Nobody makes a fool out of the Ginyu Force!" He charges at the Saiyan again and this time Burter is with him. They work together to take him down and it is working well. They land several successful hits.

Raditz almost loses his balance due to the odd feeling of being tailless. He knows that Kakarot is being overwhelmed by the two and it won't be long until they start to really give him a beating. He still has to give them the punishment for cutting off his tail. He goes for it as well by soaring through the action and sending a punch on the big purple alien's face.

All four warriors spar heavily. Neither side is giving in even the slightest. It breaks the second Kakarot has a firm grip on Burter's shoulders. The alien squirms trying to shake the Saiyan off but still he holds on.

"Do you know how it feels to lose a limb on your body?" Kakarot asks. His hands grip harder on his shoulders and now Burter is yelling. "If only you had a tail this wouldn't be as painful it will be as of now." He pulls his shoulders back trying to break his arms of but it proves to be very difficult. Losing patience he chops his left arm with his hand and it snaps. He chuckles and lets Burter go who holds his broken arm while trying to distance himself from him. "It hurts a lot. That is how it feels." A sudden shout comes from him as delivers a handful of punches of Burter's face. Jeice fires a blast to stop him but cleverly Kakarot throws Burter right into the blast so he takes it instead. Burter lands on the ground practically stunned and unable to move at the moment. Kakarot dives towards him and lands stomping on his neck, breaking it and killing the alien instantly. His gaze turns to Jeice now who hovers in the air staring at Kakarot in fear. "If I were you, I would be running away by now."

Jeice gulps and boosts his body to go straight into full powered flight. "I have to report Ginyu 'bout this! These Saiyans are like monsters!" He flies away and jumps into something not long after he started. Kakarot hovers in his way. "Move you stupid monkey!"

"Monkey, Ape, what's next? Chimp? You guys really annoying me by calling us those things. If anything you look like an albino Australian with a terribly bad case of sunburn." He laughs cruelly seeing the puzzled look on Jeice's face. "Of course you have no idea what I am taking about. You're not from the world I grew up in... Oh, that reminds me of something. Cutting off my brother's tail was not smart of you. He looks too close to a Human now. You won't be around for long."

"How dare you say that! I am still a member of the Ginyu Force, the most feared warriors in the universe! I will finish ya once and for all!" He begins his efforts to land hits on Kakarot but the Saiyan dodges or blocks each attack. He blocks the punches and kicks the Saiyan tries to give him back. It does not lighten up until Jeice lands a left hook on Kakarot's face.

Slowly Kakarot turns his head back at Jeice unfazed by the punch he received. He only laughs. "Is that all you have for me?"

"How could you just shrug that off like it was nothing?!" Jeice yelps.

"Well, I am a Saiyan. You guys should know about my kind at least to the basics." Kakarot explains. "We Saiyans get stronger after every battle. However when we come back recovered from the brink of death, we get so much more powerful we are unaware of just how much powerful. Check my power level of you want. I'm not concealing my power."

"Yeah, sure. I check your power level and I run away screaming like a little girl!" Jeice turns on his scouter and his mouth drops at the reading he sees. He snaches the divice off his face and crushes it in his hand. "Piece of junk!"

"I don't think it's lying." Kakarot says.

"Even if you are it doesn't mean that you will win!" Jeice fires several Ki blast and it explodes all over the Saiyan. He is surprised when Kakarot flies out and elbows his face. His hair is grabbed and he is thrown down towards the ground.

"Pay back time Raditz!" Kakarot calls out.

Jeice finds a pair of hands in front of his face. "Raditz... Please! Spare-" He is cut off with a blast of Double Sunday that vaporizes him instantly.

"Serves him right." Raditz huffs. He still isn't happy. His tail lays on the ground near him and he looks disgusted. He hates himself at the moment. "How am I supposed to explain this to Vegeta? He will just laugh at me."

Kakarot defense to the ground. The second his feet touches the ground he begins to walk to his brother's side. "Won't it just grow back?"

"It will... But it may take years. Saiyan children tends to grow back their quicker because they lack in fighting experience and are more likely to grow it back. It's a guarantee under a full moon because our tails are sometimes a manner of life or death. It happens to adults too but some never grow a new one in rare cases. It's not a pleasant thing to live through." Raditz explains.

Kakarot growls and fires a blast at Burter's body. It vaporizes in a cloud of dust. "We might need it. If Frieza is way too overwhelming our transformation could be necessary as much as I hate it." He then remembers something. "Perhaps Shenron could help you with that. Maybe he may come out on this planet. I will find out myself. Meanwhile you report to Vegeta... Unless you are coming with me."

Raditz turns down both offers. The sound of his grumbling stomach gave him different ideas. "You go while I find us something to eat. When you return I may have dinner ready, so don't have me waiting too long or you will hunt for yourself." Before his brother could even leave the ground he adds quickly, "My missing tail is not your problem. Do the prince a favor and grant his wish. Frieza may return before they could reclaim the Dragon Balls. He can't die if he has his immortality to fight Frieza if the cross paths."

"Then I'll go as fast as I can." Kakarot nods once and takes off. He is pleased to have hidden his collection inside his pod. No one would have thought of looking inside one since they don't want any business with them. He laughs in a goofy smile."Boy is Vegeta going to get a surprise of a lifetime!" On that note he boosts his flight to top speed.

He flies for a short while when suddenly the sky becomes dark. Its can't be unnoticed. "Huh. It's finally night time. It's been daylight for weeks that I lost track of time. I guess it's because this planet has so many suns." He spots the group of pods that belong to him and his comrades. The sight of the one belonging to his son makes him more determined to get this done. He lands in front of his pod and discovers his the door is still open. "Hm. I could have sworn I closed the door before I left. Then again, I'm not good with remembering things." He sticks his head aside and spots his Power Pole that he brought along, a small reminder of why he joined his kind in the first place. He straps the weapon to his back and crawls inside the pod to get the sack of Dragon Balls, only to discover that they have gone missing. "I don't get it. I know that I brought them with me... So why aren't they-" He pauses and his attention is back to the sky. "Wait a minute! The sky being dark could mean... But how is that possible-" A memory hits him.

-*Flashback*-

"You know Bulma, Vegeta was really pissed when he found out you stole his pod." Kakarot points out.

"I've been told." Bulma mutters.

Kakarot tilts his head to the side, a sign of his curiosity. "You know, I am wondering on why you are roaming around here when you should be working. Didn't Raditz tell you to do something?"

Bulma stands while dusting herself off. She gives him a hate filled glare. "How about you go tell the jerk that it is ready for him! He can do whatever he wants with it! This is the last time I will do anything for anyone!"

"Really?" Kakarot takes notice on the strange lump under her shirt. "Why is your waist so lumpy?"

Bulma almost shrikes. No good. "Uhh... It's my makeup. You should know that I can't go a day without it! You've known me for 15 years!"

-*End of Flashback*-

"Whaah! Th-that wasn't her makeup! That was the Dragon Balls all along!" He punches himself in the head. "Man! I am such an idiot! I feel for that?!" He glances at the sky and he can feel the mighty power of the eternal Dragon.

Eternal Dragon?!

If anyone was watching in a distance they would see a figure rocketing off to the skies making the dirt explode from the pressure in a giant dirt cloud. Kakarot fears on himself of how Vegeta would react if he finds out that he lost the Earth Dragon Balls by the hands of an Earthling. A Earthling! One thing is clear; the Saiyan is pissed. His strong flight forces weak blunders that he shoots pass to crumble and collapse. "BULMA! YOU HAVE USED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!" Up ahead he can see the dark clouds that means Shenron is arriving. "IF YOU MAKE A WISH I WILL END YOUR LIFE!"

Many miles away Bulma is well aware that at least one if the Saiyans have figured it out. She watches nervously and scared out if her life knowing that Goku could be after her.

The seven Earth Dragon Balls glowing in front of her burst out a bright long yellow light that sprouts into the shape of a Chinese Dragon with antlers similar to a deer and one long whisker on each side of its face. The light fades into powerful glowing aura, revealing an endlessly long green Dragon with glowing red eyes. He stares down at her. As he speaks his deep strong voice shakes the ground. It makes anyone believe for him to be a god. "YOU HAVE GATHERED ALL SEVEN DRAGON BALLS. SPEAK YOUR WISH... NOW."

Bulma almost forgot how to speak. No matter how many times she sees this legendary Dragon she is always terrified of it. She has no time to stare in awe. "Shenron! I request for you to bring back all the Z-fighters who died fighting the Saiyans back to life! The ones who never died before I mean!"

Shenron growls for a second before narrowing his eyes. "IT CANNOT BE DONE."

"What?!"

"THE WISH YOU HAVE REQUESTED IS FAR BEYOND MY POWER. I WAS CREATED BY THE GUARDIAN OF EARTH, KAMI. I CANNOT GRANT ANY WISHES THAT FAR EXCEEDS HIS OWN POWER. I CAN ONLY NOW BRING ONE PERSON BACK TO LIFE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WISH."

Can this day get any more stressful? She thinks hard. Which one? Which one? She has no time to think! She blurts out the first name that comes to her mind. "Darn it Goku! I wish that Piccolo was here so that he can teach you a lesson!" She covers her mouth. She said her thoughts out loud and said the wrong name. She looks at Shenron.

Kakarot sees Shenron just as he speaks more.

"VERY WELL YOUNG ONE. IT SHALL BE DONE." The Eternal Dragon's eyes glow a very bright red and lightning powerfully strikes in the clouds followed by the loud sound of thunder. "YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. I SHALL TAKE MY LEAVE BACK TO EARTH" His whole body glows again and he shrinks back in the Dragon Balls as they come together and float up in the sky. They fly off to the skies and out the planet.

"Ooh... I think I blew it." Bulma sighs.

"NOOOO!"

Bulma spins around and screams seeing who hovers above her. "G-G-G! GOKU!"

Kakarot lands hard in front of her and snatches the collar of her shirt, pulling her to his face. "Do you realize what you've just done?!" She says nothing so he goes on. "This was the one chance for me to help Vegeta get his wish and you blew it! You tricked me and used them for your own desires! How could you?!" He throws her to his feet and he gathers Ki on one hand. "Grrr! I should kill you where you stand! That should be your punishment!"

Bulma shuts her eyes tight expecting the end of her life but many seconds pass and she opens them. Her former friend just stares at her with a look of hatred.

"But I can't. Prince's orders." He stomps on her stomach and is rewarded with a pain filled gasp. He steps back watching her suffer. "They are not going to happy about this. If anyone, Raditz would be the most disappointed since he came across you several times. He should have known that something suspicious was going on with you." He picks her up by her collar again and he begins to fly. "At least I will have a good reason and get a break!"

Not too far Raditz stabs a gigantic fish halfway through a large branch from one of the trees that now sticks out of the ground. He fires a small blast and the twigs underneath bursts into flames. He is just about to sit down until he senses his brother's energy.

"Put me down you jerk!"'

The voice sounds like a woman and is very recognizable from the nagging attitude he can hear from it. At the same time she sounds scared and in pain. The woman falls to his feet. He looks up and sees his little brother who looks very angry. "Is there a reason why you brought her here?"

"How about you ask her? I was about to kill her for what she has done!"

Raditz is a bit surprised by Kakarot's tone of voice but he decides to ask the woman what happened. "Care to explain?"

Bulma crosses her arms. "I am not saying anything!"

"Kakarot? What happened?" Raditz asks.

"She stole my Dragon Balls Raditz! Plus, she used them and summoned the dragon! The one good chance we had to wish Vegeta immortality without running into trouble is gone! Plus I was suppose to keep watch of those Dragon Balls! Man he's going to be pissed..." He sends another angry look at Bulma. "This is all your fault! I will send you to Vegeta so that he can have a word with you! I am not getting in trouble for something you did! So tell us what you wished for!"

"That is none of your business!"

"Tell me now Bulma!"

"Go to hell!"

"Ooh. She's a feisty one alright." Raditz chuckles at the tension he is seeing between the two. "She is so rebellious. I find that rather entertaining." He looks at her with a dark smirk. "So Earth woman, by using the Dragon Balls I believe that you have just signed a permanent contract to be our servant. Vegeta was planning to let you go. As soon as he hears this then he'll have second thoughts."

"If you think that I will do more for you then you are wrong! I've done enough! No more! I just hope you die to that Frieza guy!" She looks at Kakarot. "As for you Goku I just hope he knocks some sense into you. If not then must I say this - you deserve to suffer!"

Kakarot looked hurt for a second by the words. Then he begins to laugh. His laugh grows into the kind that is dark and almost wicked. Bulma's face lost its color from the sound of it and that makes him feel better. "Bulma, you never changed. Always have you been the same. You get mad when you don't have your way, and you have a really bad taste with boyfriends. Back then I was blind to it but now I realize that you are just a spoiled genius. Why did I decide to becomes friends with you back then? I really wish I hadn't." He crouches down to her level and he speaks in an almost quiet tone. His dark words sends chills down her spine. "If Vegeta decides to end you life, I will ask him to hand you to me and I will blast you to..." He turns to his brother. "What's the word?"

"Oblivion?" Raditz suggest with a tone that reads out his curiosity.

Kakarot looks back at Bulma. "Yeah! Obliveonin... Whatever that word he just said!" He hears his brother sigh with shame behind him. "But that is if I was nice enough. If by the time I am what you call "a heartless monster" then I guess I might pound you to death. My brother seems to have fun doing that. "

Bulma feels as if she is prey cornered by a vicious monster that is untamable. Every time she sees Goku, he is worse and more heartless every time. There will be a day when he would probably laugh on top a mountain of bodies he killed and everyone's helpless to stop it. She won't back down again. Quickly she draws back her hand and slaps the Saiyan with all her might.

Kakarot hops back with a yelp and falls down to his bottom with one hand covering his left cheek. "Damn! I forgot she can hit hard!" He hisses and rubs his face. He removes his hand and a red hand print is left on his slapped cheek. His brother begins to laugh until he gets slapped as well. Now both of them are on the ground.

"You freaks will not turn me into a servant! One way or another you guys will fail and realize the huge mistake you made!" Bulma shouts. "I see that you Raditz lost your tail! That is what you deserve for what you've done to us!"

Raditz growls and stands up with his face dangerously close to hers. Despite his action she manages to keep a straight face. She is not backing down without a fight. She would rather die than serve them. She attacks a Saiyan warrior without second thought. "You are just full of surprises aren't you? So am I." He lightly chops her neck, instantly knocking her out. "Hmph. Stupid Earth woman."

Kakarot finally puts himself together after the slap he received. He gives his brother an odd look. "You know, for a second there I thought you was going to kill her. I guess you remembered about Vegeta huh?" He huffs. "Talking to us like that. You should make her cook us dinner for that. Makes me wonder where ChiChi could be. She was missing for a while."

"Don't fret. Be glad that she has been quieted down." Raditz walks over to the fish and turns it over. "You still have a lot to learn. Your limit on vocabulary is ridiculous."

"What about Vegeta?" Kakarot asks. He is still concerned on how the prince will react to this.

"He might let you go. We still have a shoot on the Namek Dragon Balls, and plus he was outsmarted by your wife and the blue haired woman."

"You mean Bulma?"

"Right. Bulmoose."

"Bulma. Her name is-"

"Shut up." Raditz takes the branch out the ground and stabs it somewhere else away from the fire. "Eat. We will need our strength. This whale I caught should be big enough for the both of us."

Kakarot's eyes light at the sight of the caught meal. "Alright! Let's dig in!"

- Elsewhere... -

Someplace else on Planet Namek, a tall green skinned man wearing a white turban and cape stands ontop a cliff watching the landscape with his usual scowl. "I have no idea how I got here... But for some reason I feel as if I am at home." He frowns. "I sense alot of powerful Ki. One of them belongs to Goku. The other next to his is Raditz. I can sense those other Saiyans... And one power that makes them all seem tame. It's almost insane. But why do I feel so uneasy with Goku's? He has grown stronger but that is not the reason."

The Namekian thinks for a few seconds. "Maybe it's because I was so used to him being so pure of heart. Now he is almost as bad as Raditz. Whoever thought that out of all the people I came across, the one who was so disgustingly pure is the one to become a monster. Doesn't matter. I am still coming for you Goku."

A/N: Finally finish! I finished a chapter before I expected once again!

So I don't really like this chapter because the beginning is a bit rough. But I still feel accomplished! My writing skills have improved! As promised, I will do my Q's and A's!

Q: I hate Spikers but I think Vegeta has a more hilarious Freiza I think they probably are gonna encounter Piccolo again,and you never made it sound like Gero died his lab was far away from civilization.

A: Well you guessed right! Piccolo has arrived! As for Dr. Gero I do have plans for him in the future but I am not all to focused with him. You will find out what happened in the future I guess. And as for Spikers the reference was not intentional if you realized where it came from. I just wanted Raditz to have his own fear. Funny. The Saiyans have common fears. Goku fears needles, Vegeta either fears worms or is disgusted by them, and here Raditz can't stand spiders and could be afraid of them. Just when I came up with Raditz's spider issue and compared it to Goku's needle issue, it reminded me of Bardock in TFS. This may be the last reference I will make though.

Q: Loving the next chapter of this awesome series! Is Kakarot gonna wish Raditz/any other saiyan back?

A: Well they didn't die. I guess you misread the previous chapter. Nappa was knocked out, Vegeta was barely conscious, and Raditz was barely alive from his neck being broken. As you see now, they are alive and well. Unfortunately Raditz got worse today when recovered by losing his tail.

Well, I predict that by the late beginning/ almost to the middle of September the next chapter will be updated. It depends on how soon I begin writing because I am in school with teachers who won't hesitate to take away phones if seen.

To be continued to Chapter 3!
