Summary

You are probably familiar with the story of the youngest son Goku but this story is less about Goku, more about what could've happened if two brothers united…

Chapter 4 – Arrangement on the lookout

'This trip better be worth it. I hope this Kami guy can help me with training somehow, i need to be so much more powerful or else we won't stand a chance…especially with Kakarot gone…'

Raditz began his journey to Kami's lookout in the direction the old man gave him. He began to wonder what this place could be. 'Perhaps some sort of training grounds, or a meditation area. I could do with both right now.'

Behind Raditz, following slowly but keeping up, still battered from his fight, Piccolo followed, wondering why the Saiyan was leading him to Kami's lookout. It was bad enough to be beaten to a pulp in two hits, but now he has to endure the presence of Kami. "Raditz," Piccolo shouted ahead. "I can't go on to the lookout."

Raditz turned and slowed down until he was on par with Piccolo speed-wise. "Why?"

"Me and Kami have a long, strange and complicated history, and I don't think he'd…enjoy my presence."

"I don't care about that, you're coming whether you like it or not."

"But.."

"Shut up, or I will take pleasure in watching your life fade away."

Piccolo went quiet. He knew that if pushed, the Saiyan wouldn't hesitate, so he continued onwards, still slumped from the beating he received earlier.

As the pair flew onward a large tower came into sight, a thin line ascending into the sky with a sphere resting on top of it. Raditz stared at the structure. 'Not as impressive as I presumed. What's so special about a tower with a platform on top?' Raditz thought to himself, wondering why he had been told to come to this place.

As they neared the tower a piece of light caught Raditz eye, and he looked to above the tower, only to see that the small piece of light that had caught his eye was a small reflection of the sun on the bottom of a gigantic upside down semi-sphere shape. "Wow" Raditz said, wondering how he didn't immediately see such a large structure. "Hurry up Namekian!" Raditz shouted back at the now trailing far behind Piccolo.

As they both began flying upwards Piccolo slowed down a little, and Raditz immediately caught sight of him falling behind. "Piccolo, I don't care what you have against this Kami guy, you're going to follow me and we are going to find out why I'm here." Raditz said, looking back to see the Namekian halt then begin a descent fast towards the ground. 'I didn't think I had beaten him that bad' Raditz thought, remembering odd bits here and there of what he did to Piccolo. 'I might have thinking about it, let my rage control me. I shouldn't have lost control like that. But I'm thankful I regained control when I did. I don't need another death on my conscience. Too many…' Raditz snapped out of his thoughts and flew underneath Piccolo, catching the unconscious Namekian within seconds. He continued his flight upwards, hoping Kami had something to resuscitate Piccolo. 'The sooner he's back to full health the sooner I can fight him again.'

As Raditz landed on what he presumed to be Kami's Lookout he laid Piccolo on the ground and walked forward. A small portly figure began to make its way to Raditz. Raditz noted that this being looked nothing like anything he had seen before. Itwas black but wasn't Dark skinned; it was pitch black with White eyes and large red lips, an odd creature by any ones standard.

"Are you Kami?" Raditz asked.

"No, I am Mr. Popo. Kami is waiting for you inside." Mr. Popo said, pointing towards the doors leading into the palace looking structure.

"Ok, can you attend to my…acquaintance…Piccolo over there?" Raditz asked, surprised at the genies look of worry as soon as Raditz said Piccolo.

"Umm, yes. Right away" Mr. Popo said, worry evident in his now shaky voice.

Raditz made his way towards the doors of the palace as the small portly man walked towards Piccolo and then jumped off the side of the lookout. The doors in front of Raditz opened to reveal an old Namekian with a staff the same height as its bearer. 'How many Namekians are there on this damn planet?!' Raditz thought. 'There shouldn't be another being non Earth originating on this planet. There was no record of them having first contact with any alien species.'

"I am Kami. And I take it that you are Raditz?" the old Namekian said.

"Yes. My name is Raditz. I'm sorry but can you get straight to the point? I'm not in the mood for idle talk. I've just lost my brother"

"Goku. Or Kakarot was it you called him?" Kami said, taking Raditz offguard, especially as it seemed everyone else refered to Kakarot by his human name. The use of both of these names in one sentence made Raditz think.

'Kakarot is his Saiyan name, the name he was born with. But it seems that Kakarot the Saiyan child lost in space, had disappeared with his early memories. Perhaps Goku is his name now. Truly, He has an odd case. But, he shall remain Goku to his friends, Kakarot to me.'

"Yes. Kakarot" Raditz said, after a long pause for thought.

"Well, you need not be worried. I just sent him on a journey to make him so much stronger than he is. He'll be coming back in time to help you in your fight against the other Saiyans"

"What?!" Raditz said, confused as to what the old Namekian meant by coming back. 'Surely he can't mean that Kakarot will be-' Raditz thoughts were cut off by the old Namekians voice.

"He will be back from the dead with the help of certain artefacts we have in our possession" Kami said mysteriously leaving out what the artefacts were exactly.

"What artifacts?" Raditz asked, hoping for a better answer from the Namekian elder.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not ready to give you that information to you. You may be Goku's, or Kakarot's, brother but that still makes you a stranger to the planet. Maybe in time."

"Hmmph, so be it." Raditz breathed. He was annoyed that he wasn't allowed information. It was becoming just like Nappa and Vegeta's control over him. He decided to let it go. There wasn't anything to complain about as his only chance for redemption would be back in time for the others' arrival.

'There may be hope for me after all' Raditz thought. He began to wonder what type of training Kakarot was undergoing at the moment, and where for that matter.

"Alright then, do you have a training area or perhaps somewhere for meditation? It's best that I start training as soon as possible."

"Umm, yes. It's below the deck so I can show you to it afterwards. For now however I think it best if you come with me first. I presume you'll be taking up temporary residence here?" Kami asked Raditz, to see a look of surprise on the Saiyans face.

"You're…you're allowing me to live here for the year?" Raditz asked. Never had he gone to a planet and been aloud to stay in one place. Then again, never had he gone to a planet left it undamaged.

"Yes. You may stay for as long as you want, provided you don't damage anything beyond repair."

"Well, in that case I'd be happy to stay, but I must retrieve my pod first." Raditz said, pulling out a small remote and pressing a button. "That should do it, it'll take about 10 minutes to get here, and it should land a few meters ahead of where I am now." Raditz added, nodding to where the pod should land in ten minutes.

"Well, I can show you to your quarters and if you wish to save your armour the wear and tear I can ask Mr. Popo to supply you with some weighted training gear to help."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. I brought another person along with me. His name is Piccolo and he was near death, sure to a little misunderstanding between him and I. When he is recovered could you send for him? I need to talk to him"

"Uhm, yes. I will get back to you when I can, he should be fine by tomorrow." Kami said with a somewhat shaky tone.

"Well, I'm going to get some rest. It has been a long day. I really need some rest. I'll be up early tomorrow to begin training."

"Ok then. Rest easy" Kami said, walking away slowly.

Raditz walked into his new room. It had been so long since he stayed anywhere, and Kakarot wasn't even born when Raditz still lived in a fixed home. And on Kakarots birth Raditz had the new that his home, and his planet were destroyed. Of course he knew who had done it, as his father always told him.

'Never step out of line, always overtake it without anyone seeing you do so. Frieza is a maniac and a powerful one at that. He will kill you if he knows you're getting stronger. This is why I worry what he will do with knowledge of our legends, our potential.'

'I will Father. I will become the elite of the elite.'

'I'll show the others what I can really do. And then, Frieza.'

Notes

You may notice that this chapter has taken longer and is a little smaller, but my college started early and I only had the message telling me the day after I published the last chapter and I've had a little writers block with this one. Not much to write about as it's mainly just a filler chapter with a lot of dialogue. I've put in a little comment about Frieza at the end, just to give you a peek at Raditz' future plans, but will he be strong enough? I don't even know yet! I'll try to keep on a weekly basis or sooner!
