AN: Sorry for the delay in the new chapter, a lot has gone on but I finally got it done. Thanks for all the reviews, I'm glad you liked the first chapter

2/17/17 Update: Grammar and Spelling Check. Decided to alway refer to Raditz attacks by the names give in the original Budokai series, eg: Double Sunday.


Chapter 2: The Guardian of Saiyans

Goku froze as he trembled a bit; his face became a bit blue. He didn't understand what Raditz meant, but if he was right Goku had killed his...their mother. "Wh-what?" he managed to barely say loud enough for Raditz to hear.

"That's right Kakarrot, you're not as righteous as you once believed! You are a murderer!" Raditz's expression revealed both sadness and anger; his hands were shaking as if he was just barely holding back the impulse to strangle Goku.

Goku felt an overwhelming sadness and shame takes over him, his stance and countenance weakened and crumbled, "Raditz you know that…". Goku got up onto his knees nearly mirroring how his brother, his head ducked and his breathing stagnate. Raditz rose his body stiff as he approached as if his form could not contain to the torrent of his soul.

Raditz swung his arm at Goku pushing him away and he grit his teeth angrily.

"You didn't mean any harm, that's what father said over and over. But you continued to push her beyond her limits, making her so fragile near the end..."

Raditz began to trail off, covering his face with hands to hide his frustration.

"I...I'm sorry Raditz, but I…" Goku said softly, he reached out and put his hand on Raditz's shoulder.

Raditz screamed, pushing him back. "SHUT UP KAKARROT!" Raditz shot a ki beam from each hand, but Goku managed to dodge them at the last second, sadness evident in his expression. He felt he had caused this.

Raditz was in hot pursuit of his brother. Goku turned and threw a right hook at his brother's face, determined to wear him out, but Raditz moved aside, grabbing his arm and throwing him hard to the ground. Goku groaned in pain but had not the time to stay on the ground. When Raditz showered Goku with multiple small ki blasts, Goku back flipped, avoiding all of them without receiving major damage. But as Goku got distracted for an instant, Raditz flew behind him and blasted him with two large purple ki blasts and screamed, "Double Sunday!"

Goku fell hard after taking his brother's ki blast at near point blank. He managed to roll over and start standing. But, before Goku could get up completely, Raditz flew down and stomped on Goku's chest, breaking several ribs followed by a sickening crunch.

Goku howled out in agony, arms flying back digging into the soil. He looked up at his brother's scowling face and could not help but feel that he deserved this torment. He had killed his own mother, he didn't know how or why. But who was Raditz to lie, maybe he his destiny was in Hell?

"Ra...Raditz, please." Goku could barely breathe as Raditz stood over him, crushing his ribcage. "I might not be able to kill you Kakarot, but I will make your afterlife an eternity of SUFFERING!" Raditz began to charge up a ki blast in each hand, taking his time powering up, enjoying his brother's writhing.

As Raditz crushed his brother beneath his boot, he felt no satisfaction no sweet sensation normally associated with revenge. But that didn't stop him, he would torture him to return every ounce of pain Goku had given him.

Raditz was just about to blast Goku, but at the last second, someone yelled, "STOP!" as Raditz got punched full speed to his side, making him tumble off Goku.

Goku turned his eyes to his savior, and he didn't recognize him. This figure was wearing head to toe armor, all Saiyan style, and was a few inches shorter than Goku. His armor seemed to fit oddly, making him seem bigger than he was. The helmet covered his whole head and only had holes for the eyes and a slit for the mouth. It was pearl white except for around his eyes and mouth, which were lined in classic Saiyan yellow. The warrior was standing over the two brothers, arms crossed and expression stoic.

Raditz got up, the blow had left him holding his side in pain, and he cringed a little. This warrior was stronger than the two brothers easily forced them to stop. "How dare you interfere?!" Raditz growled trying to hide his fear of this armored warrior. All of his rage was transferred to the armored Saiyan, who was he to stifle his revenge?

"You are mistaken Raditz," the figure said in a monotone, without moving an inch.

Raditz glared at the figure, trying to get a measure of him. Something in this warrior's eyes truly confused him.

There was a familiarity in those eyes, something he could trust although he couldn't say why.


AN: Not much of a chapter mainly exposition but regardless, R
