Piccolo Jr.: defeated by Goku several years earlier in the annual World Martial Arts Tournament. He sat meditating on the edge of a cliff. He had been training hard since his defeat, and was determined to beat Goku the next time they met. His eyes shot open as he sensed a power coming straight toward him.
'Who is that? Surely Goku hasn't gotten that strong already.'
Before he had a chance to move, the alien man appeared in front of him.
"You're not Kakarot." He said as he turned to leave.
"Who are you?"
"That is none of your business." He said as he flew off.
The green demon lifted into the air as well. He shot off toward the man, suppressing his power the whole time.
-------------------------------
"So how is Chi-Chi anyway?" Bulma asked.
"She's fine. She's still after me to get a job."
"You don't need a job, they give away prize money at the tournament." Krillin explained.
"That's what I told her, but she said they don't happen often enough."
Goku's head swiveled behind him, Krillin's following shortly after.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know Krillin, but he doesn't feel familiar."
"He's strong too."
"Really strong."
The alien man dropped down in front of the group.
"It is you, Kakarot. I was beginning to think you weren't here." He said as his feet touched the ground.
"Kakarot? I think you have me confused with someone else." Goku said defensively.
"You are Kakarot."
"I'm sorry, but my name is Goku."
"Goku? You do not remember your name? Have you forgotten where you came from as well?"
"I came from the mountains."
"No, you are a Saiyan."
"A what?"
"A Saiyan. We are a race of warriors. You were sent here from planet Vegeta to destroy the people of this planet."
"What? I would never hurt my friends."
"Try to remember Kakarot. I am your big brother Raditz. I came to see you the day you were sent here."
"I don't know you, and I think you should leave."
Gohan stumbled and fell in the sand. Raditz glanced at the boy and his eyes went wide.
"A Dragonball..."
"I knew you were up to something." Krillin said. "He's just here for the Dragonballs."
"No, I am here for you brother."
"I'm not your brother."
"I was ordered to make sure you had done your duty. I am supposed to make sure these people are destroyed so that the planet can be sold. I won't have to do that though. With the Dragonballs, we can wish for immortality. We can then overthrow Frieza. With Frieza gone, we will be the rulers of the universe. I can not ask you to destroy those who raised you, but I must ask for your assistance in finding the Dragonballs."
"No way. I won't let you use them for evil purposes."
"I am going to use them to overthrow the most evil tyrant in the universe."
"I still won't help you."
"If that is the way you feel, " The Saiyan warrior phased behind Goku and picked up Gohan by the neck. "I will take him with me. If you wish to see this boy again, bring me the other six Dragonballs."
Goku charged at Raditz. Raditz kicked him in the side of the head. Goku fell to the ground, holding his head. Raditz pulled Gohan's hat off of his head and looked into the ball.
"Hurry now, I leave with my prize tonight. Whether that prize is this boy or immortality, is up to you."
With that he lifted into the air and took off. Goku looked down at the sand.
"He took Gohan... and I couldn't stop him."
"Don't worry Goku, we'll get him back." Krillin said.
"Do you really think you have a chance?" A voice said from above.
Goku looked up. "Piccolo? Go away, I'm not in the mood to fight you."
"And I am not in the mood to fight you. What I am in the mood for, is to stop that man. He must not obtain immortality. It is better if you let him take the boy."
"He is not going to have my son!"
"Your son? Isn't that an interesting development? Then you plan to kill him?"
"I don't want to kill anyone."
"Either you kill him, or your son is lost forever. I will not let you give him the Dragonballs."
"Come on Goku, we can beat him. We can gather the gang and take him on together." Krillin offered.
"No Krillin, you've already been wished back to life. If you die again, we can't bring you back."
"I will help you." Piccolo said, surprising everyone.
"What?" Goku asked.
"I said I will help you kill him. You need someone stronger than you to win."
"If I remember right, Goku beat you the last time you guys met." Krillin said.
"I am much stronger than I was then, but if you don't want help..."
"I accept your offer to help. Does this mean we are no longer enemies?"
"You wish. When we have killed this man, you and I are enemies again."
"Understood. Let's go get my son back! Flying Nimbus!"
Goku leapt into the air and landed gracefully on the small yellow cloud as it stopped.
"Can that thing fly fast?" Piccolo asked.
"Faster than you." Goku said as he took off.
Piccolo took off after him. The three Humans watched them fly away.
"Should we go get the others?" Krillin asked.
"If those two can't win, no one can." Roshi said as he went back into the house.
"Where are you going old man? We're following them." Bulma said as she threw a capsule on the ground.
The capsule exploded and a plane appeared. Bulma climbed in.
"Hurry up, we don't want to miss the action."
