Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or the characters, or Tundra.

There was some confusion last chapter. Tundra does NOT become a girl, just looks and sounds like it, but he still got emotional at the end, and a tough guy Ice-jin wouldn't admit to it, so yeah ^^ Hope that clears things up.

KimiruMai: When I thought up this chapter, I was dying. Do you love how much of an idiot Yamucha is? Anyways, chill, it's going to be a while. Raditz does come in this chapter, though, so we are getting closer :p

Apocalyps24: Glad you like it ^^

FirstFemaleNamek: I wish I could take credit for the OC, but I can't ^^ I'm just writing a story with a friend's character, Vulaan Kulaas. But thank you, I appreciate the compliment ^_^

Jakker: I'm glad you like the story. I didn't really know that about Ice-jins…I'm more of a Saiyan expert fanfic expert ^^ (not really an expert, but it's more of my specialty). But really, the thing was that Tundra just was never able to transform, that's the major point. Now he can. Tundra just knows how many transformations they have to conserve their energy. If I can draw Tundra's last form like Cooler's, I will. That was my original plan. And no, he doesn't become a female. He just looks and sounds like one, but he's still a "him." He was just taken aback XD The mean author had to embarrass him for her own amusement.

Poop King: Thanks so much :D And yeah, it was meant to just make everyone laugh before it gets to the action.

Kagetoworld: Thanks, Kageto. Glad you enjoyed it :) I'll be checking out your story very soon, now that I am done with school for the semester ^_^

Mellra: Yeah, I was able to see them. Those are the pages I used to draw Tundra originally XD And glad you liked the chapter.

Tundra was out walking with his brother, Gohan. The four-year old was frolicking happily and Tundra couldn't help but grin. It made his heart feel light knowing that Gohan would never experience the horrors he must have witnessed in the universe. Goku and Chi Chi kept the boy sheltered, Chi Chi forcing to be a scholar at an early age. The kicker was that he could do it too, the little genius. He would called him that affectionately at times.

"Tundra, look!" Gohan called to him and pointed at a tree. "It's a butterfly."

"I see it," Tundra replied with a smile. He walked over to the little boy. "We need to get back soon, kid. We have to go meet father's friends today."

"Oh yeah!" Gohan exclaimed excitedly. It had been years since the others had come around, busy with their daily lives. Gohan was a baby the last time they were able to come around.

Since then, Tundra had mastered his third form. He didn't see a use for it, other than he could get away with being emotional. No one else had to know that it wasn't really hormones that allowed for him to cry. One day, Goku would probably figure it out though and force the Ice-jin to talk. Other than that, there was no purpose. He may be faster, but his strength decreased immensely and he did not like that one bit.

"Hey, let's hop across the river to get back," Tundra suggested. The two of them would do that if they were running late for dinner. It was the best shortcut they had, especially when they weren't supposed to be this far away from the house.

"Okay," Gohan agreed. "Race you!"

Tundra nodded in agreement and the two raced across the river. Tundra made it across in top speed. Grinning he turned to brag slightly to his younger brother, but became panicked as he watched Gohan slip off a rock and into the fast-moving river. "Gohan!"

Tundra nearly flew to Gohan, the river surprisingly moving faster than him. Swallowing his pride, Tundra eventually did transform to his third transformation and was able to catch his little brother before he went over a waterfall. The two of them went crashing into a tree, but Gohan glowed slightly and managed to smash it, decreasing the speed of their fall.

Tundra was shocked, but quickly got over it to give his brother a more graceful landing. He put the boy down on the ground, and both of them tried to catch their breath. Both of them started chuckling until they were in a fit of laughter, Tundra picking Gohan up again. He started slowly walking back to their home.

"Tundra! Gohan!" they heard their father calling as they got closer. "Where are you guys?"

"Coming father!" Tundra called out. And eventually they came into view.

"Oh, there you are," Goku said with a smile. "I was wondering where you wandered off to. Chi Chi was freaking out about it earlier when I said I didn't know where you were."

"Must you egg her on, father?" Tundra asked lightheartedly. "You know that if she doesn't know where we are at all times, she flips."

Goku shrugged. "Eh, your mother worries. It's normal, right?"

Tundra smiled. "Yeah, oh so normal."

Tundra flew next to Goku and Gohan on the Flying Nimbus as they travelled to Goku's old master's home. It wasn't that Tundra couldn't sit on the Nimbus cloud. After his memories left him, it was as if he had become pure of heart. Now he was just too big to join his father and brother riding on it. He didn't mind. He loved watching how Goku and Gohan interacted with one another.

They eventually landed on the island and were met with Roshi, Krillin, and Bulma. "Oh, hey you guys," Bulma greeted. "Wow, Tundra, you've gotten really tall."

Tundra blushed slightly in embarrassment. For some reason Earthlings had this thing where they had to point out how much someone grew up. It was strange to the Ice-jin, especially when his surrogate mother harped on it. "Um, yeah," he replied awkwardly. "I've been doing a lot of training as of late."

"Oh?" Bulma replied curiously. Then she noticed Gohan. "Oh, hey, who's this little guy?"

"This is my son, Gohan," Goku told her. Everyone acted shocked and Tundra snickered. Krillin was hysterical because he had met the boy once when he was a baby, and he too was shocked at how much he had grown. Bulma and Roshi had an excuse to be shocked. That had never met him before.

"So are you going to be a fighter like you daddy?" Bulma asked getting down to eye level with Gohan.

Gohan frowned and shook his head. "My mom wants me to be a scholar."

"O-oh?" Bulma said nervously sweat-dropping.

Tundra stayed close to Gohan as the two watched Goku and Krillin spar. Tundra had inquired about Yamucha, but Bulma mentioned that she conveniently "forgot" to inform him about the get together because she had caught him cheating on her. Tundra thought back to the last time he saw Yamucha and realized that it was not that much of a surprise. Shrugging it off, Tundra went back to observing the fight. He looked down at his wrist to see Gohan's tail dusting him. He chuckled at his brother's cuteness and closed his eyes.

Then they shot open, and the fight was stopped. Tundra got up quickly, making sure not to drop Gohan. The little boy looked up at him in confusion and worry. Tundra looked over to Goku and saw his serious expression. It was then he knew what he had felt actually happened. An incredibly high power level was headed in their direction.

"Fa-" Tundra attempted to call out, but was stopped when dust picked up around them. As it cleared, they saw a tall, muscular man with a tail standing in front of them. Goku got into a defensive stance when Tundra just looked at the stranger's large tail. This was not the first time that Tundra had felt the start of a flashback while watching a tail. He just didn't understand why until he zoned back into the conversation.

"You were sent on a mission to destroy all life on this planet? Why haven't you carried out your orders?"

"Or…ders?" Goku asked. "Kakarot?"

"Look, I don't know who you are," Krillin started as he walked closer to the stranger, "but you have the wrong guy, so you should just-" And that was when the tail was used to smack Krillin into the Kame house.

"Krillin!" Tundra shouted in concern. This caused the stranger to look over at him. The man growled at him, but Tundra did not understand why. "An Ice-jin? On Earth? Boy, who are you and what are you doing on the planet? Did you come to finish the job my brother failed?"

"Brother?" Goku and Tundra shouted simultaneously. The two looked to one another in shock, trying to make sense of what this man was saying.

"No," Tundra spoke up. "This is our home."

"WHAT?" the stranger shouted. "I can't believe either of you. It's obvious you have both forgotten you place. Why are you acting like you don't remember your orders?" Raditz huffed out a breath of annoyance. "Unless…did either of you hit you head?"

"Um, when I was a kid I got into a pretty bad accident," Goku stated. "My grandpa told me about it. I don't remember much." He looked over to Tundra with a frown. "When he came to the planet, the two of us sparred and I accidently hit him really hard in the head. He lost his memory."

The stranger growled in frustration. "Fine, okay. Well then, brother, I will tell you. My name is Raditz, and the two of us are of a warrior race known as the Saiyans."

As Raditz said that, something clicked. Tundra actually had a memory unlocked right there, of a teenager he met that he became allies with. I think…I think his name was Vegeta, Tundra thought to himself. His attention went back to Raditz as he explained the whole purpose of the PTO and how the Saiyans worked for the Ice-jins and that they probably sent Tundra to come after Goku.

"But I would never do that!" Tundra shouted. "He's my father!"

Raditz's expression soured as his glare went back to Tundra. "Quiet, lizard," he sneered. "I've heard enough from you. Saiyans and Ice-jins do NOT get along."

Tundra frowned at Vegeta making the Saiyan glare at him. "You're a prince," Tundra stated in shock. "Why is my uncle so disrespectful then? We're supposed to ally ourselves with other royals."

Vegeta's expression softened. "My planet was destroyed by an asteroid. I have no kingdom."

Tundra walked up directly in front of Vegeta. "All the more reason to ally." Tundra held his hand out for a handshake. Vegeta eyed it cautiously. "Your kingdom may be gone, but the kingdom doesn't make the prince. Attitude and character make the prince; at least, that's what my dad tells me. So…allies?"

Vegeta looked away from Tundra's hand, but shook it anyway. "Fine, but that stays between us."

Tundra shook himself out of his memory. "I know for a fact that that isn't true," he said. "I've met and befriended one of your kind before. Goku took me in as his own, and I see him as my father. Ice-jins and Saiyans CAN be friends. Whatever my people did to yours, I personally apologize."

Raditz sneered at Tundra again. "Your word means nothing, lizard. It's not like you could ever make up for the activities of your people."

"At least he's trying," Goku snapped. "Look, I may not know anything about this whole alien thing except that we are aliens, but I know how I feel about my son. Have some heart and just leave us be."

"Not a chance, Kakarot," Raditz fought back. Then Gohan ran over to Goku and grabbed onto his leg. "Ah, this one has a tail. Let me guess, your offspring? Who's the mother? That blue-haired harpy?"

Bulma scoffed. "As if. Goku is like my brother ding-dong." Raditz shot her a glare to. "Oh, I'm so scared of the jerk with the bad attitude."

"You should be," Raditz shot back. He then smirked and faced Goku. "Alright, brother. Since you are refusing to join us in purging, I will be taking you son."

"What?" Goku asked in shock. "Over my dead body."

Raditz let out a sadistic laugh. "Trust me; that could be arranged. I'll raise this boy to act as a Saiyan should act."

Before anyone could respond, Raditz attacked Goku, hitting him in the stomach. Tundra attempted to stop him, but he was shot with a ki attack he wasn't prepared for. It cute through his shoulder, barely missing his heart.

"Watch yourself, Ice-jin," Raditz threatened. "Next time, I won't miss."

Raditz picked up the now crying Gohan and flew off. Goku got ahold of himself first and went to check on Tundra. "I'm alright, father," Tundra told him, though the few tears he was holding back told Goku something different. The Saiyan, apparently, knew that he and Tundra would need to talk about this later, but right now they needed to save Gohan.

"That was pathetic!" they heard someone shout from above them. Everyone looked up and saw Piccolo floating there. He landed in front of them. "I had come to fight that guy to make sure he didn't cause trouble, but I never would have guessed about you, Goku."

"Look," Goku stated calmly, "I don't have time to fight you, but maybe, if you help us get him back, we can fight again later."

"Hmph, a team up?" Piccolo asked. "No thanks."

"Find your humanity!" Tundra cried out. Everyone looked to him in shock. "This bastard wants to destroy the planet you want to take control of, right? You might as well join us to take him out. Besides, he kidnapped my brother and I won't let him get away with that. He would hurt Gohan the second he stood out of line. Do you even know what that's like? To stand up to a parent and be shot down? Gohan belongs with his father!"

Piccolo felt something inside of him shift. Growing up alone, he couldn't help but understand not having a decent parent around. Had Goku not taken him in and trained him, this little boy would have grown up alone, like him. "Alright kid, fine," Piccolo said in a deathly, calm voice. "I'll help you, but only to get Gohan back with his father. After that, we are all enemies again."

"Thank you," Goku replied, he and Piccolo sharing a mutualistic nod.

"Then let's go," Tundra ordered. "It's time to show that Saiyan what Earthlings can really do."
