AN: Guess who is back after, like a year or two? Me! Super sorry about not updating guys, life happens and I kinda lost motivation! But after releasing two new stories on another popular Anime, my drive is back! Hope you guys like this chapter, I read all of your reviews! Don't worry, I fully intend to finish this story! Forgive me, I may be a bit rusty. This chapter will be a bit short, but I'll kick into things! BTW, There was a timeskip and Goku is now twelve.

Bardock's eyes shot open, hearing a loud roar. He ran out of bed, surveying the land around him. Raditz ran close behind him, both quickly looked for the source of the roar. Then they saw it. A giant ape, covering the full moon. Raditz felt his heart sink, knowing what can happen when Saiyans transform into Great Apes.

"Raditz, go find Gohan! I'll deal with Kakarot!" Bardock yelled, jumping into action.

Raditz nodded, quickly moving around to find the older man. He didn't have to look for long though, as he saw the man's crushed body inside a giant footprint. He felt himself tear up, rushing over to the man and trying to check if he was alive. He was barely conscious, but bleeding out fast as his organs were crushed. Raditz kneeled and held Gohans head up. Before Raditz could yell out, Gohan reached a shaky hand up to his arm.

"G-Gohan.. " Raditz said in a shaky voice

"It's OK, my boy. My time was already coming, I only have one request of you" Gohan said, voice very dull "Make sure the boy is safe, and you mustn't let him know what he has done until he is ready" Gohan said.

Raditz nodded. Gohan smiled, closing his eyes. Raditz felt him go limp in his hands. Raditz let him go gently, placing him on the ground. He stood and clenched his fists, they started bleeding as his eyes flashed to a moment. Tears ran down the side of his face, Gohan meant to much to him for him to die just yet.

Raditz felt his eyes shoot open. He saw the giant trees, leaves and branches flowing in the wind, and felt better. The sun provided a nice warmth. He saw another thing too, a small boy running up to him.

"Big bro! You're awake!" He said with a giant smile. Raditz shot a small smile back

Raditz sat up, feeling the grass beneath him. He slowly remembered what had happened before he fell asleep. It had been a long day, and a nice night, so he slept outside. He looked behind him and saw his father and Gohan preparing breakfast.

"Come on, Kakarot" Raditz said standing up.

Kakarot followed him, humming happily to himself. Raditz didn't know why the boy was so happy all the time. Kakarot definitely didn't act like a normal Saiyan, either. He was very kind and gentle most of the time, a little dumb but everyone could look past that. He had remembered that Bardock was said to be one of the more caring Saiyans, along with his mother. So maybe that was a reason for Goku's niceness. Some of it definitely affected Raditz too, as he was sometimes more compassionate then he would like to admit.

Sitting down on a log, Raditz cut himself a peice of the animal Bardock had caught this morning. Gohan had also got a fish, but Goku had already destroyed it. While biting into the meat, Raditz thought about his dream and what it meant.

Noticing the look on Raditz' face, Bardock spoke up.

"What's bothering you Raditz?" Bardock asked, finishing his portion.

"That stupid dream again." Raditz replied gruffly, taking an aggressive bite out of his food.

Goku nibbled on his portion, listening to his families conversation.

"I wonder why you keep having that dream. It is certainly odd, but at the same time it could very well happen" Bardock said.

Gohan nodded grimly, understanding completely. By this time, Gohan had figured out about the aliens secret. The family had known about this dream for some time, but hadn't yet figured out the source. All the while, Goku innocently ate his food.

end. I'll try and update again this weekend, with at least 1k words!
