"Booooshhhhhhhhhhooom" A thunderous roar sounded like nothing the old man had heard before
"I wonder what that could be." A short old man with a long white mustache and a cotton tailed beanie said out loud.
Walking out of his small one room house the old man heads towards the source of the noise deep in the forest.
'Smoke I must be getting closer' the old man thought as he got closer to the origin of the noise. Bushing through the thick underbrush of the oak and palm forest.
"Oh my Kami" the old man stood in disbelief. Before him was some type of spherical spaceship inside of 20 foot crater.
"Chhhshhhhhhshhh." The space ship opened and revealed a baby.
"My heavens" The old man said even more surprised than before. Climbing down the newly made hole the old man made his way to the UFO and infant. The baby then began to crawl out of the pod.
"Oh, you have a tail" the old man said, looking at the 2 foot long monkey like tail coming from just above his bottom. "I'm Gohan. What's your name?" Gohan asked the infant.
"…." The baby looked at him with a blank expression uncaring expression.
"It must be Kakarot" Gohan says, noticing a nameplate on top of the pod entrance. "Well Kakarot would you like to go home with me?"
Kakarot looked neutrally at the old man. Putting his hands on the baby he feels the new born tense up causing him to back away slowly.
"Woah not going to hurt you" Gohan said, slightly alarmed the baby could cause him to flinch. Trying again, Kakarot doesn't tense up as much and lifts the boy up before putting him in his basket normally reserved for fruits and veggies. With the "alien" baby safety in his basket, Gohan climbed back up the hill and began his trek back to his home.
12 Years Later
In these 12 years, Gohan had raised the baby as best he could. He discovered that this baby although looking human was very different from a human baby. Kakarot was walking within the first 2 months of living with Gohan. At 8 months of living together Kakarot could already lift 50lbs. His physical progression seemed to only be matched by his mental progression. Kakarot was talking at 6 months. Once the child learned to talk Gohan discovered that the child was neutral in morality, more chaotic neutral than anything else. If asked why he did something Kakarot would often say because he wanted to or because he felt like it. This even includes picking up Gohan's sometimes colorful language.
These years were not all filled with happy memories. In the 6th year of Gohan's raising of the boy the tragedy struck. Kakarot transformed into the saiyan ape and rampaged thru the mountain side remodeling the mountain and trimming the local animal populous, Gohan included.
When the morning had came and Kakarot reverted back to his normal state he found the old man just still clinging to life. The olds man's final act of kindness was to give the boy, his home and everything in it, including his dragon ball. Knowledge of the dragon balls was not the only knowledge Gohan gave to the child, days before his death the old man had taken the young Saiyan to his spaceship. In this space ship, Kakarot found armor, scouters, and videos in his native tongue.
Kakarot was now at the onset of Saiyan puberty. Standing at 4' tall the young warrior was still considered short compared to some of the more gargantuan Saiyans. Having set aside the blue gi and pants Gohan gave him the Saiyan instead chose to wear the armor provided for him in his pod. Kakarot decided to wear the same armor type as his father, whom he had been introduced to through the learning program videos in his pod. The only differences in Kakarot's armor was he chose to wear armor gloves (AN: the things Nappa and Raditz wear.) instead of the cloth wrist bands of his father, and he had the groin guard.
We join our future hero or villain inside of his pod watching his final video.
"Solider you mission is very simple. Kill all dominant life on the planet, and then report back to us for the selling information and your payment." The hologram of King Vegeta informed the Saiyan solider.
Kakarot had tried calling back to the planet once before, but the pod said the message could not be received. Getting out of the pod the young Saiyan began his trek back to the small one room place he called home.
"This planet should fetch a very nice price. Now let's see the videos said I can kill or leave the wildlife... think I'll leave them, the people who buy this planet can use them for food or entertainment. "The Saiyan thought aloud
"vvrrrrrrooom" The Saiyan heard the unfamiliar noise bounce all around the mountains he was in
"The fuck i..." Was all the young Saiyan was able to get out before an object came speeding around the curvy mountain road and slamming into him.
"Woah what is this?" Kakarot asked as he stepped back from the car that bent around him like a horseshoe. "You, the fuck are you doing in this thing, going around my territory?" Kakarot asked the driver who had been thrown out of the vehicle.
"How are you alive?" The driver question
"Bitch" Kakarot said now able to see it was a girl.
"Stay back" the girls said, sliding back, she pulls out a pistol and proceeds to unload the clip at the boy. All 15 bullets made contact with the boy only to bounce off his armor.
The boy then walked towards the green hair girl, grabbing her by the neck, Kakarot grips the female's throat firmly. "Who are you, what can you do for me, and why shouldn't I kill you?" Kakarot asked staring into the terrified girl's eyes
Looking into the pitch black orbs the girl could tell her life relied on her answers to his questions. Even though he was just looking at her, the blue haired car driver was scared beyond words so scared in fact she lost control of her bladder "I...I.. I'm Bulma Briefs" she managed to get out as the Saiyan choked her tighter. "You should spare me so I can help you look for the dragon balls and if you kill me, you will have to search the whole planet."
"Congrats your life is spared... for now, but you're mine now" Kakarot says as he lets the girl go and she falls on her bottom.
"Like a slave?" Bulma managed to whisper out as her vocal cords were regaining blood flow.
"Yes, exactly like that" Kakarot said, noticing he had oil on his pants
"Oh... can I ask who you are?" Bulma quietly asked not sure how to take the situation
"I am Kakarot, but the old man who watched after me gave me the Earth name Goku." The boy said
"What do you mean Earth name?" Bulma asked as she stood up.
"I'm not from this backwards ass rock." the boy said with obvious distaste for the planet he was on.
"Then where are you from?" Bulma asked having never met an alien
"I am a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta" Kakarot said as he regurgitated the information from some of the learning programs. "And before you ask Saiyans are a race of warriors in the planet trade business."
Taking time to digest the information, Bulma final realized what her body had done "Do you have some place I could wash clothes?" She asked blushing
"My house is close, there is a well there." Kakarot answered as he started walking that way
A short walk later
Kakarot and Bulma made it back to the small home of the Saiyan.
Bulma was washing her clothes in a small wash bin, while Kakarot was cutting down a nearby tree.
"Are you hungry?" Kakarot asked as he brought back enough wood back to build several houses.
"Yes..." Bulma said still traumatized by her near death at the hands of the Saiyan.
"Wash these too" Kakarot says as he takes off his dark blue blood splattered pants and hands them to the teen before he walked into the forest.
Returning an hour later the Saiyan had brought with him a fish the size of a small house and 3 large eggs. Stacking several pieces of wood into the shape of a tepee the Saiyan finishes the construction by firing a ki blast at the wood igniting it.
"That fish is huge!" Bulma says as she takes the drying clothes off a nearby tree branch.
"You get half" Kakarot said as he went behind his house and pulled out a bed spring grill
"H-h-half?" Bulma said, looking at the monster fish
"Yes" Kakarot says as he throws the fish onto the grill.
"Normal people can't eat that much" Bulma said, handing the pants to the Saiyan
"Thank you." Kakarot says as he puts the pants on.
"Welcome." Bulma replied, surprised the Saiyan had manners "So can you tell me more about yourself?"
"Like?" Kakarot asked as he added more wood and ki blast to increase the cooking heat
"How old are you?" Bulma asked while looking into the fire
"According to my medical file I'm 12" Kakarot says flipping the fish
"Oh I'm 16..." She trailed off "Why are you here?"
"Huh" The Saiyan responded
"Why are you on Earth?" Bulma clarified
"Simple. I'm here to eradicate the dominant species on this planet, then sell the planet." Kakarot said nonchalantly
"You're going to kill us?" Bulma said, a look of horror and disbelief on her face
"I don't know yet." The Saiyan answered "I was supposed to check in with my planet 2 years ago. I sent them several messages and beacons, but no response. My gut is telling me something bad happened to the whole planet. If it did then you're in luck because I can't sell this planet without a buyer."
"If you can't sell it, then what?" Bulma asked a glint of hope in her eyes
"Then I'm going to make this the new planet Vegeta, Planet Kakarot if you will" Kakarot said dreaming about being the ruler of this planet
"Are you still going to kill us?" Bulma asked fear still evident in her voice
"Well, depends" Kakarot said as he tasted the fish "Needs salt"
"On?" Bulma asked
"What you can do for me?" Kakarot asked
"I'm really good with technology" Bulma said
"Good I can find a use for that." Kakarot said as he divided the fish "Here, this is yours" handing her the other half.
The two sat I silence for the remainder of the meal before Kakarot spoke. "Let's go inside." Kakarot said as he put the fish bones down and enters the building.
Bulma was surprised to see the small cottage was nicely furnished. There was a queen size bed on the right as soon as you walked into the door. To the left was a rack of weapons that included bow staffs, katanas, and double edged swords. On the wall furthest from the door was a dresser with ear pieces with colored glass. To the left of the dresser were several different versions of the armor that Kakarot wore.
"You're sleeping with me" Kakarot said as he climbed into the bed.
"You're not getting my virginity" Bulma shouted
Kakarot looked directly at Bulma, cold black eyes met scared blue.
"I don't want to fuck you" Kakarot said so harshly it sent chills down her spine. "You're sleeping in this bed with me"
"Ok" Bulma quickly agreed, not wanting to anger the Saiyan further. Taking her shoes of the teen climbed in the bed and was surprised it was so comfortable.
"Leave and you die" Kakarot said as he turned to face the wall.
Bulma curled into a little ball and laid there silently till she fell asleep
Once Kakarot feel her breathing even out he to let sleep take him.
"Wake up" Bulma heard in her sleep. "Wake up" this time it was said louder and she felt something soft and furry poke her face.
"What is this!?" Bulma shout as she jolted up and grabbed the object.
"I'm going to say this once, let go of my tail" Kakarot said malice dripping from his voice
Having the words register in her brain she quickly let go of the appendage.
"Sorry" Bulma says, trying not to make eye contact
"Get your shit together we are leaving." Kakarot says as he straps a katana and a pole to his back
"Where are we going?" Bulma asked as she slipped on her shoes
"To find the other dragon balls" the Saiyan warrior informs as he puts his scouter on "We already have 2. So the next 5 should be pretty easy."
"How did you know i had one?"Bulma asked
"Went thru your bag" Kakarot informed the teen as he walked out the door, Bulma right behind him.
"Wow, it's a beautiful day" Bulma stated as was distratd from her previous train of thought as she was greeted with a calm breeze and 80 degree weather
"Which way is it?" Kakarot asked while listening to his surroundings
Pulling out the her radar she presses the button and gives it time to locate the mystical item.
"It's pretty far away, but its south east of here" Bulma stated
"Alright, lets go" Kakarot said as he began walking in that direction
"Wait we are walking?" Bulam asked
"Yes, you can't keep up with my running speed so how else are we suppose to get there?" Kakarot stop walking and turned toward Bulma just to ask the question
"We can use this" Bulma said, opening a case and pulling out a pod
"I was wondering what those were, but how is that thing suppose to help?" Kakarot asked, slightly angered by the time being wasted
"Not a thing, a capsule. Watch." Pressing the button and throwing the pod the young scientist waits.
"Puhhhffhu" the pod went up in smoke and revealed a two wheeled vehicle
"The hell is this?" Kakarot stated
"It's called a motorcycle, hop on" Bulma says as she gets on the bike
Getting on behind her the two take off in the direction of the dragon ball.
Several Hours later
Pulling over to the side of the road Bulma stops the bike
"Why did we stop?" Kakarot asked
"I need to pee" Bulma says as she gets off the bike and walks behind a giant rock
"Fine hurry up" Kakarot ordered
"Heeeeeeeelllllllllppppppp" Bulma screamed at the top of her lungs from behind the rock she was using as a bathroom.
"What the hell is the problem now" Kakarot says as he casually walks behind the rock. "What the fuck" Kakarot shouts as he turns the corner of the rock and is greeted by a 15 foot tall pterodactyl.
"Beat it kid." The flying dinosaur says
"Hell no, you have something that belongs to me" Kakarot says placing a hand on the sword on his back
"Sucks to be you" the wing reptile said as he flapped his wings and began to lift into the air.
With a quick grunt and a step fast enough not to be seen by the untrained eye Kakarot went from in front of the scaled bird to behind it.
"Death" Kakarot said as he sheathed the sword. As soon as the hilt touched the scabbard the head of the wing animal slide of its neck. With the brain no longer connected the monsters grip loosened and Bulma fell to the ground.
"Thank you" Bulma said ever grateful
"I wonder what the most tender part of this thing is?" Kakarot thought as he looked at the headless body.
"I thought we were in a hurry?" Bulma asked
"We can be as soon as i figure this out" Kakarot said as he lifted the wing up to see what muscles it used.
Deciding on taking a breast piece the two got back into the bike and continued south east towards the next dragon ball.
"It's getting dark can we stop?" Bulma asked as she checks her mirrors.
"Yea" Kakarot replies
"I still cant believe you ate that thing raw." Bulma said the mere idea making her queasy just remembering it.
"Meat at its freshest is always delicious" Kakarot replied
Pulling onto the side of the road the two get out of the car.
"This area should be good. I don't smell anything that could be a threat." Kakarot says while inhaling the air.
"Ok" Bulma says, pulling out her capsule case
"What's in this one?" The young Saiyan asked truly intrigued
"A house" the bluenette said as she tossed the pod that exploded into a dome home with 3 smaller domes attached to it.
"Cool" Kakarot says as he follows Bulma into the house.
