Son Gohan the Warrior

Chapter 1: The Arrival of Raditz

"Come on, Gohan! Let's get going!" yelled Goku to his five year old son.

"Son Goku!" yelled Chi-Chi as she burst out the door with her frying pan in hand. "Where are you taking Gohan? He needs to study today!"

"Calm down, Chi-Chi. I'm just taking him to see Krillin and the others. Tell you what, tomorrow, Gohan will study all day, is that alright?"

"Fine. Just be careful. I don't want anything happening to Gohan."

"Don't worry about it, Chi-Chi. Gohan and I will be fine."

Chi-Chi smirked a little. "Alright. But if ANYTHING happens to my little baby I will KILL you, Goku."

Goku scratched the back of his head, as he usually did when under pressure from his wife. "Alright." He turned and shouted, "Flying Nimbus!" and the cloud came soaring down. "Ready to go, son?" he said, turning to the little boy that had just come running out.

"Yeah!" He climbed up into his father's arms, and they took off into the sky.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" said Chi-Chi to no one in particular.

A distance away, a Space pod came down from the sky. Smashing into the ground, it created a large crater. The hatch opened, and a man with long, black hair, armor, and a tail climbed out. A nearby farmer was looking at him in shock, pointing a gun at him.

"So, the creatures on this planet are still alive," said the stranger. He blasted the farmer off his feet. "Kakarot has failed us!" Surveying the planet, the device over his left eye suddenly beeped, and he looked away. "A higher power level. It must be Kakarot." He took off flying towards the power.

Soon, the stranger saw who he was pursuing. It was a green man, and most certainly was not Kakarot. Perhaps he knows where Kakarot is. If not, I guess I can still have a little fun.

"Excuse me for dropping in. I'm trying to find a man named Kakarot. I thought you were him."

"You're excused," asked Piccolo. "But maybe you should get glasses for both your eyes."

"You're a very funny man."

"Yeah, I wouldn't count on that. Now be off."

The alien smirked. "Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you." He clicked a button on his scouter. "Power level 322. I can tell that you're not from this planet. But you'd be a fool to tackle me with such an insufficient power."

"Now listen to me. You came here, I have no interest in starting a fight."

"I do."

Piccolo then shot a blast at the alien. He smirked, thinking the alien had underestimated him. But when the smoke from his blast had cleared, he hadn't even gotten a scratch to his armor.

"Goodness," said the alien. "You've managed to singe some of my leg hairs. Allow me to demonstrate a more effective attack. I call this one here, keep your eyes on the birdie." He raised his hand. "Now, keep your eyes on the birdie."

Just then, the alien's scouter beeped again. "I sense a stronger power. That must be him!" He took off in the direction his scouter indicated.

This guy could be a problem, thought Piccolo.

Meanwhile, at Kame House, a jet copter was just setting down. Bulma hopped out and walked into the house. "Hey, guys."

Krillin said, "Bulma!"

"Wow, it's sure been a long time, huh."

Master Roshi stood up and said, "Yep, and you look as beautiful as you ever did."

"Oh, you men. You're impossible."

"I guess you forgot about my truffles. That's okay, I forgive you."

"No, here you are," she said, handing him the box.

"Hey!" shouted Goku from outside. Bulma, Krillin, and Master Roshi looked over just as Goku walked in, Gohan right behind him, trying to remain out of sight.

"Goku!" the three shouted happily. Looking down, Bulma noticed Gohan hiding behind Goku. "Hey, Goku. Who's the kid?"

"Goku, are you babysitting or something?" asked Krillin, noticing the child.

"This is Gohan. He's my son," said Goku.

The three dropped to the ground in shock. "Your SON?!" screamed Bulma. "Goku, he's adorable!"

"Gohan, say hello," said Goku to his young child.

Gohan poked his head out from behind his father's legs. "Hello everybody."

Bulma walked over and got down on one knee. "Are you going to be a big strong fighter like your daddy?"

"My mom doesn't want me to. But I'm going to be just like my daddy!"

Master Roshi smiled. "Yep, that's your son alright, Goku."

Goku laughed. Bulma looked at Gohan's hat. "Hey, that's a Dragon Ball on your hat, isn't it Gohan?"

Gohan reached up to protect it. "Yeah. Dad and me have been collecting them."

"Goku, what are you going to wish for once you get them?"

Goku scratched the back of his head. "I don't really want anything."

Just then, Gohan turned around to look at Master Roshi's pet turtle. Bulma, still looking down at the small boy, noticed the brown, furry tail the boy had.

"He's got a tail!" exclaimed Bulma.

Goku said "Yep. Just like the one I had when I was a kid."

Master Roshi said, "Goku, has anything strange ever happened to Gohan at nights when the moon is full?"

"What do you mean?"

"Has Gohan ever seen the full moon?"

"I don't think so. We all go to bed pretty early."

"Alright."

Just then, Goku turned his head. "I feel a power approaching. Wow, I've never felt something this powerful, or evil."

Bulma said, "My woman's intuition doesn't sense anything. You must be going nuts."

"No, I feel it too." said Krillin. "Is it Piccolo?"

"No, it's too powerful to be Piccolo," said Master Roshi.

Goku went outside, shortly followed by the others, Gohan moving along to see what all the fuss was about.

Just then, the alien set down. "So, we meet again at last, Kakarot. Why haven't you completed your mission? You have failed us."

"My name is Goku, and I've never met you," replied Goku.

"Enough of these foolish games, Kakarot. We sent you here to- wait, where is your tail?"

"My tail was removed when I was a young boy."

"You fool! You've lost your Saiyan ability to transform at the full moon!" screamed Raditz.

"What are you talking about?"

"You don't know? Tell me, when you were a young boy, did you ever hit your head on anything?"

"Yes, actually. My grandpa told me I fell and hit my head. I nearly died. Why?"

"So that's why you don't remember anything. Well, allow me to explain. I am Raditz... your older brother."

"What?!?" exclaimed Goku.

"Yes. You are a part of a race of warriors called Saiyans. We go from planet to planet, exterminating the population and readying the planet to be marketed. For planets that have strong resistance, we send an elite Saiyan warrior. For planets with no resistance, like this, we send one of our babies. We sent you here when you were a baby to eradicate the population. I've been sent to get you. We've received an offer on a planet, and we need a little more power to get the job done."

"I'll never help you."

"This is your last chance, Kakarot. Come with me." Looking at the others, he noticed Gohan hiding behind the turtle. "You didn't tell me you'd settled down, Kakarot. You have a son, I see."

"Leave Gohan out of this!"

Raditz walked towards Gohan. Goku leapt in his way. Raditz punched Goku in the stomach, picked him up, and threw him aside. He then picked Gohan up. "If you ever want to see your son again, you will eradicate 100 members of the species here. Then you will join me. Until then, I'm going to spend some quality time with my nephew." Laughing, he flew off, leaving Goku writhing in pain.

"Daddy! Help me!" screamed Gohan, who was being carried under Raditz' arms.
