Kame House
Both Krillin and Yamcha felt it happen. Goku's ki, it had been there only a moment ago, then it dwindled and faded into nothing. Just like that.
"N-no..." Krillin wimpered "Goku!"
"He's-he's really gone..." Yamcha added in a similar manner to Krillin
"Goku's..." Bulma tensed "Dead..?"
Both Krillen and Yamcha looked crestfallen "yeah.. he's gone"
Krillin stood up, glaring into the horizon "For Goku's, Gohan's, and the Earth's sake, I'm gonna go help"
"So am I" Yamcha added "I've learned so much from that guy, I'm not gonna like a fiend like Raditz kill him and get away with it!"
Bulma threw down a capsule, revealing a jet-plane "Well then" She responded "Get in"
Gohan just sat there in the pod frozen stiff by the sight before him. His father, dead. The man who raised him, the man who had cared for him for five years. The man who would always encourage him to strive to be better, faster, stronger, and tougher. The man who spent hours reading boring texts with him, just so they could be that much of a better fighter. Most importantly, the man who loved and cared for him, sacrificed himself so that he could live. He couldn't let his death be in vein. His fists tightened to the point of drawing blood. Then he felt it, the ungodly power that Goku experienced over the loss of his wife. He opened his hand and saw a golden aura resting upon it. He wouldn't let is father die vein.
"well well well" Raditz chuckled as he witnessed his brother's death "I thought I'd kill your son, but this worked out even better then I hoped!" He then flew down to where Goku lay and kicked him repeatedly. "This is why you don't mess with a true sayian!"
That was the last straw for Gohan. Not only did he use a cheap attack, he also didn't even acknowledge the sheer selflessness of what Goku did, instead just kicking him around as if he was his plaything.
"Whelp I might as well purge this planet" Raditz grumbled as he took to the skies.
Piccolo flew as fast as he could to Raditz "I can't allow that"
"Oh why not?" Raditz chuckled "Let me guess, cause it's evil, wrong?"
"No" Piccolo smirked evilly "It's cause that's my job"
Suddenly the two fighters saw a golden beam of energy escape from the pod, then another, and another, until the sky was filled with beams of light and energy.
Raditz stood there shocked "What?! Who is generating that much power?!"
Piccolo just chucked quietly "Don't you see? You killed that boy's father right in front of him, now he wants vengeance"
Immediately after Piccolo finished that statement a giant beam of light and energy exploded upwards from Raditz's space pod, sending shockwaves throughout the countryside and pushing Raditz and Piccolo a few yards away.
And then the light faded, revealing a very pissed-off Gohan.
Jet-Plane
Krillin and Yamcha fell to the ground under the strain of a massive migraine
"H-holy crap!" Krillin shouted in surprise
"This power!" Yamcha responded
Bulma, still mourning over the loss of Goku and possibly the entire planet, looked over at "I don't think so" Krillin replied "Someone's power skyrocketed way past Raditz"
"It can't be Raditz" Yamcha reasoned "I can still feel his power, I can also feel Piccolo's power, and Goku's dead, so it could only be-"
Both Krillin and Yamcha looked at each other "Gohan?!"
"I will never forgive you, Raditz!" Gohan boomed with what seemed to be a voice to deep and powerful for a five year old boy.
Raditz just gaped at his nephew's new transformation. Gohan had a golden aura surrounding him, his now crimson hair stood on end with a few stubborn locks staying put. But the most unnerving were his pupils, or rather lack of.
Raditz shivered in terror "C-could h-he be... t-he legend?..."
Gohan then vanished from sight and reappeared in front of Raditz.
"What how did you-!?"
"Hit me" Gohan responded in a cold, dark voice, he then smirked "What? Want me to turn my back so you can pretend that I'm a helpless child?"
"Oh I'll hit you all right" Raditz smirked "Where the sun don't shine!"
Raditz aimed below the belt and connected. What he didn't expect was for Gohan to not even flinch at the attack.
"Good job" Gohan responded "That almost hurt"
"GRRR WHY YOU FOOLIS-"
Before he could finish his insult. Gohan hit Raditz below the belt, causing Raditz's pupils to shrink. Gohan then kicked the Sayian down to the ground, creating a crater twice as large as Goku's.
Ignoring the immense pain from his groin, Raditz flew out of the crater and charged another attack.
"Take this you scum! Double Sunday Attack!"
Gohan didn't even bother to move out of the attack's way and let it hit him, causing a giant purple explosion.
Raditz smirked "That will show you, you insolent half-breed"
But when the smoke cleared, Gohan just stood there, completely unharmed.
"Not bad" he rubbed the side of his neck "Now, my turn"
Gohan lifted up the palm of his hand and formed five blue balls of ki, one on each finger. They then slowly lifted up into the air and spaced out, each becoming roughly the size of Gohan's torso. Gohan then closed his fist and pointed it at Raditz.
All five ki balls immediately rushed Raditz. The sayian just barely managed to dodge them.
Raditz laughed "You should practice your aim, fool!"
Gohan just stood their not really caring what his uncle thought "Maybe you should look behind you" he chuckled
Raditz turned around just in time to see the ki blasts turn around and head straight back at him. But before they hit him, the balls of energy split up and formed a circle around Raditz. Then Gohan closed his fist, causing all the ki blast to rush Raditz.
"Oh cra-!"
All five ki blast hit their mark, causing a gargantuan explosion that could be seen for miles in all directions.
When the energy dissipated, Raditz fell to the ground with a thud. He tried to fly back up but he couldn't he was to injured and had little to no ki left. The most he could do was stand up.
"W-well, b-brat..." He wheezed "H-how d-does it f-feel to not h-have a father..."
"Actually, he'll be back"
The two sayians looked up and saw Piccolo hovering over to Raditz.
"H-how then?" Raditz inquired
Piccolo smirked "Simple, they will use the dragon balls to wish him back, the dragon balls can grant nearly any wish you ask it"
"heh... heh... heh..." Raditz coughed "e-everything you j-just told m-me has been sent to m-my fellow c-comrades in space..." Raditz smirked "Y-you have one year, o-one year b-before they annihilate this s-sorry excuse for a p-planet..."
"Piccolo move"
Piccolo turned around to see Gohan preparing some kind of ki blast.
"Piccolo move! Or you'll end up in the same place as Raditz!"
He didn't need to be told twice, the green man flew out of range.
Gohan outstretched his two arms and began to gather ki.
"Spiral"
A vortex of pale blue ki began to form in each of Gohan's palms.
"Kamehame"
Gohan then brought his hands into the traditional Kamehameha stance, ki flowing around his fingers.
"HA!"
Gohan then unleashed the blast, uplifting large portions of soil as it sped towards Raditz. The beam hit its mark, making the biggest explosion of the day and completely obliterating Raditz.
"T-that was for... My dad..." Gohan's power faded and he passed out.
Jet-Plane
"All right!" Krillin shouted "Gohan did it!"
"He beat Raditz?!" Bulma nearly squealed "All right!"
"Yeah!" Yamcha added in the same tone "He avenged his father!"
"I guess he did..." Bulma replied, crestfallen that her best friend had died.
"Hey don't worry about it" Krillin comforted "he can be wished back with the dragon balls"
"Yea I guess that's true" Bulma looked out the front window "Say isn't that Piccolo? And what is he doing with Gohan?"
Piccolo was standing in front of were Gohan lay, gaping at the child. "How could a boy of five years have so much power that they can toy with someone so strong? Perhaps he is the answer to my problems"
Piccolo grabbed the sleeping child and was about to fly off until he hear a voice.
"Put the child down Piccolo"
He turned around to see Kami before him, staff and all.
"This doesn't concern you, Kami" Piccolo growled in disgust
"Oh but it does concern me, Piccolo" Kami responded in a much gentler tone then Piccolo's "This boy needs training neither you or I can give him and you know it"
"Oh and were do you plan on sending him then?" Piccolo retorted
Kami smiled "Simple, he will train with his father with King Kai"
Well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a review if you liked it! Also I've been debating about this ever since I started this story. Would you guys want more fighters after the battle of Planet Namek? Not OCs, just more fighters.

I definitely love how this story is going so far. I read a lot of stories where Chi Chi died while giving birth to Gohan, but I must say that this is the best one so far. Keep doing what you're doing because you're obviously doing it right.
Thanks for the positive review! I'm not really sure how many of those stories exist, but the ones I read didn't feel as if it expanded on the sheer potential of the story. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

So Goku dies after all... I wonder... Does Gohan turn psycho and kill Raditz? Like that epic head butt in the anime or does Piccolo pull something crazy out of nowhere? If Gohan DOES kill Raditz, what will Piccolo's reaction be? So many questions make me excited for the next chapter. Good job.
I guess this chapter answered most of these? But I didn't think that Gohan would turn psycho because of the amount of practice he's had controlling his ki. I thought he would act a bit like a cross of cannon SSJ2 Gohan and cannon Vegito.

Um why was Raditz PL Between 1500 - 1800? In cannon, his PL was the same as a Saibaman (1000 exactly)
Any way, keep up the good work!
Raditz's power level in cannon was 1200, but when he was fighting. He wasn't really trying and was easily wiping the floor with Goku and Piccolo. I figured if he actually went to full power, it would be a bit higher, and when he was enraged, even higher still.
Cheers,
