The Saiyan King

A Dragon ball Z version of Disney's The Lion King

(Hey guys, so I had some trouble with this chapter. It was really hard to do the cave scene and not make Piccolo seem like a total weakling.)

Chapter 2: Meet Radditz

As Piccolo was searching for the king's brother, he happened upon a cave where he sensed Radditz's power-level. "Gotcha you lazy bastard." The Namekian said with a smirk on his face as he landed at the mouth of the cave. Sure enough, inside the cave was Radditz. He was playing with a mouse he had caught sometime earlier; he then proceeded to talk to the scared creature.

"Life isn't fair, is it? You see I will never be king," the rouge Saiyan said with a scowl on his face. "And you my friend? Well," Radditz snickered to himself and lifted the mouse preparing to eat it. "You aren't going to live another day. So long!" Just then, Piccolo cleared his throat causing a startled Radditz to drop the mouse. Piccolo walked up to the rouge Saiyan and glared him right in the eye.

"Didn't Fasha ever teach you you're not supposed to play with your food?" Radditz was annoyed at the fact piccolo had let his meal escape. "Piccolo you cost me my lunch" the Saiyan said with an angry growl in his voice. He then powered up a ki beam in his hand. Piccolo smirked and went into a fighting stance. "Trust me," the Namekian said smugly. "I'm the least of your problems. You've better have a reason for skipping the ceremony this morning before king Goku gets here." Just as the two lunged at each other, a beam shot between the two. They immediately saw the beam came from Goku, causing Piccolo to bow. Goku gestured for Piccolo to rise and confronted Radditz.

"Radditz, Ch-Chi and I didn't see you at Gohan's presentation this morning," the royal Saiyan said with a scowl. "Care to explain why?"

Radditz faked surprise and feeling sorry at the matter. "Was that today? Oh many apologies you Highness. It must have slipped my mind." Piccolo was clearly annoyed and pointed out, "Even if your mind is slippery, the blood relative to the King of all Saiyans should be first in line. "

Radditz took Piccolo by surprise and pinned him on a nearby wall. "Well, it just so happens I was first in line. Until HE came into the picture!" Goku grabbed Radditz by the color of his armor. "Just remember that you're talking about my son Radditz! He's also you're future king!"

Radditz gave one last angry growl at his brother and excused himself from the matter. Piccolo approached Goku and placed a large green hand on the tense king. "Don't let it bother you. There's one in every family. In fact mines got two." This cheered Goku up a little and the two exited cracking jokes about Radditz.

Elsewhere on the planet, Master Roshi was hard at work. He had his hand over a clear orb that revealed a picture of Gohan 10 years from now.

"Ah, there you are my boy" the hermit said to himself with a laugh. He then walked over to a wall bearing all the Saiyan kings of old, the most recent being Goku. Roshi then noticed the picture of Goku's father, Bardock as he was adding Gohan to the wall.

"Oh Bardock, you'd be so proud of your grandson" the hermit said. "He's got you're fighting spirit." With that Roshi stepped back from the portrait of Gohan and gave a hearty laugh, satisfied with his work.
