"What do you mean King Kai?" Goku was trying to find out what King Kai meant about his son.
"He was born on another planet. Every Kai from King to the Supreme ones, know just about the same knowledge of all the planets, stars, galaxies including the planet your son is from, so don't expect anybody else to know more than us," King Kai said as he was just about to tell Goku about that one universe.
"This planet, planet Kales, was much like planet Vegeta, homeland to the Saiyans, your race Goku. But the most miraculous thing about it was that, that the Solorians and Saiyans are really one of the same race, they go by different names."
"I don't understand, what do you mean 'one of the same race'?" replied Goku
"Well, you see a long time ago the Solorians were traveling around the galaxy looking for a hospitably place to thrive on. One day, however, the Solorians discovered Planet Plant which would later become Planet Vegeta after a war with the planet's natural inhabitants, the Truffles. As I had mentioned earlier, a terrible war sprang to life between the Solorians and the Truffles for domination. At first, it was a stalemate because of the Solorian's natural strength and will versus the Truffles' technology. Until one faithful night, a full moon was revealed, unlocking a transformation only capable of a Solorian, or in this case Solorians and Saiyans. And the transformation allowed the Solorians to practically annihilated the Truffle race, save for a few. Afterwards, a huge uprise began surging through the Solorians, one being that one group decided that they should have shared the planet with the Truffles while on the other side of that coin opposed that thought. Eventually, two kingdoms had been born, one belonging to Kales, king of the Solorians, the true race and Vegeta, king of the Saiyans. While the two kings had conflicting ideals, it was without saying that both men a deep mutual respect for each other, given that they fought together during the war. So, they both decided on a pact that neither Saiyan nor Solorian shall harm the other, given that they are part of the same race. But with both kingdom's populations vastly rising, it was decided mutually that the Solorians would find another planet to inhabit, fortunately there was a planet nearby to ensure the Solorians existence."
"Who were Alaric's parents. Why did they send him here to Earth?"
"Because that planet was dying. After all the threats the Solorians have faced, the warriors just couldn't fight the natural course of their planet's demise. As for Alaric, I don't know who his parent are. I'm sorry Goku. But I suspect he has a direct lineage to King Kales, possibly an heir to the Solorian Empire."
"It's alright King Kai. I just needed to find out where my son was from. Who would've thought that a guy like me, whose also not from Earth, adopts a baby who happens to not be from this planet as well."
"Sort of a coincidence, huh?"
"Man, I'm not sure how Alaric, Gohan and Chichi will react to this news."
"Err... Maybe we should catch up to your training. The whole Earth is at stake here."
"Right. Lets get to it."
King Kai starts to demonstrate some of the essential moves that Goku is supposed to learn to face the Saiyans.
Meanwhile...
There were punches and kicks being thrown between two boys in fighting gi's. One seemed to be over powering the other one with extremely faster attacks. The other one was then able to get away from his opponent, and was finally able to get a clear shot for his attack.
"Masenko!"
The blast fired towards its intended target. One would think that the opponent would try to dodge it, but for some odd reason he stayed and took the blast head on. The blast caused an explosion when it hit that boy, and when the smoke cleared the boy who fired the Masenko saw that his foe was still there ready for anything to come at him.
"How many times do I have to keep reminding you Alaric. Just because you can't get hurt that easily, doesn't give you the excuse not to DOODDGGEE!"
Alaric looked towards his training master, Piccolo who was getting a little upset.
"I'm sorry Master Piccolo. I just keep having the urge to use the tactic at wearing down my foe."
"I know what you're trying to do, but what is going to happen when you get by a blast that is just as powerful enough to hurt you? This is just sparring match, so Gohan would've had alot more power to put into that attack to be able to actually hurt you badly. Don't keep this as a habbit," the green mentor told his pupil.
"And Gohan, all you need to do is keep more training if you want to avoid being overpowered by a foe as fast and strong like Alaric. Understand?"
"Yes sir, Mr. Piccolo," Gohan complied.
Piccolo looked to the sky to see how much time had passed, and he noticed that it had just been enough training for today.
"Call it night you two."
The two boys respectively bowed towards their master, and landed back on the ground to have their nights rest.
These brothers were very unique. It is understandable how Gohan has great power in ki because of his Saiyan heratage. Especially from the blasts he has shown to create. The Masenko would've done alot more damage if he went all out. But Alaric, he is something else. He has taken alot more powerful blasts head on and came out with only a few bruises and blood. To make it even more strange, those injuries over time would go away as if they almost weren't even there.
"Alaric, you think we may be able to see momma and dad anytime soon?"
"I don't know Gohan. Master Piccolo said that we well see Dad when we we'll fight those Saiyans."
"Do you think we'll be able to beat them?"
"Hey Gohan, don't worry we'll beat those Saiyans. You and I have been able to take on anything this past year. Thanks to Master Piccolo, we're even more stronger. We'll beat those bad guys. If we can't beat them, than I'm sure Dad will be the one to beat them. Have I ever been wrong?"
"Well, there was that one time..." pressed Gohan
"Hey! That was one time!" berated Alaric, half seriously half jokingly.
Alaric had placed his arm around Gohan. Gohan smiled with the encouragement given from his brother.
"Lets go you two. You need to get some sleep now, so you'll be ready for tomorrow," Piccolo called out.
"We better do what Mr. Piccolo says," Gohan said.
"Race you over there?"
The two boys than ran as fast as they could to beat the other one.
A few weeks later...
Alaric and Gohan were standing by each other waiting for Piccolo to speak to them. Piccolo seemed to be analyzing the two boys, and reviewing all of the improvement the two have accomplished in this past year.
"You two have managed to survive six months in the wild by yourselves. With teamwork, you have been able to take on anything that was an obstacle to you all. When your training with me started, you took that teamwork and used it in training. A very good tactic in times of battle. Through my guidance, you two have been able to be independent from each other. You've become excellent fighters for kids age, and in compaisson to warriors such as myself, you two are worthy opponents that would give out a fight. Your training is finally done."
The two brothers clapped hands with each other and gave out a cheering cry. Piccolo smiled as he saw the boys celebrating. Not only has Piccolo gotten stronger this year, but he has actually made a bond with the two boys. Gohan always seemed to keep addressing him as 'Mr. Piccolo,' despite all the times Piccolo told him to stop calling him by that. Where as Alaric would at first call him by that as well, but after Piccolo told him not to call him that Alaric addressed Piccolo with, 'Master,' instead. Piccolo kept his promise with Goku in not allowing any of the boys to get killed. Not because he was afraid to be hunted down by an angry Goku, but he actually started to care for the boys as if they were his own family.
"What do we do now Mr. Piccolo?" Gohan asked.
"It has already been about a year, so we need to be on guard for the Saiyans."
"Shouldn't our dad be back by now?" Alaric asked.
"He is probably on his way here. He did mention that the trip to King Kai would be very far away."
Meanwhile...
Goku had finally mastered his last move, the Spirit Bomb, and was stretching out his body to avoid any pull of muscles that would come later on.
"King Kai, how far are the Saiyans from Earth," Goku asked.
"Give me second. It may not seem hard to find power levels as high as these guys, but their still going at extreme speeds which make it hard to track them."
Goku waited for King Kai to answer. Suddenly King Kai shrieked to what he had just found out.
"King Kai what is it?"
"They're close. Very close."
"Can I make it back to Earth in time before they get there?"
"I'm not sure. All I know is that thanks to your training here, you'll get to King Yemma's check in station in two days at the most."
"I better get going," Goku said as he prepaired to jump back on Snake Way.
"Thanks for the training King Kai."
"No problem. Give those Saiyans a fight they'll never forget. And please keep your son's origin a secret."
Goku was already in a rush to get back to Earth, that he didn't have time to respond to the last comment.
Back on Earth...
Piccolo sensed that the Saiyans were closing in and had just landed.
"Gohan, Alaric! They're here!"
The boys weren't expecting the Saiyans to be here this soon, so they were getting a little scared at the moment.
"Why isn't dad here yet?" Gohan asked.
"He has to be here soon. He has to be, while at the same time it might be quite a distance between King Kai's and Earth," Alaric tried to keep faith in his father's arrival.
"Lets go you two. We need to close a distance between us and the Saiyans," Piccolo told the boys. They complied by following Piccolo up into the sky.
They kept flying ahead, until they felt a very powerful surge of power. It was if someone unleashed an attack that could've destroyed a city.
"Piccolo... what was that?" Gohan asked nervously.
"The Saiyans. They... they just made their first move."
"Piccolo they seem to be coming this way right now," Alaric said with concern as he too was also sensing the power.
"They must be coming after the strongest power levels on this planet. We land here. This is where we'll face them," Piccolo said.
The master and the students landed on the ground where there was mountain pilliars surrounding them. Piccolo had his game face on, but truth be told, he was actually unsure of himself. He wasn't sure if he, the boys, and the other warriors well be able to hold off the Saiyans. Gohan was scared right to the bone, while Alaric tried to keep his composure and keep up the willpower to face these Saiyans.
"Piccolo, I feel another energy signature coming this way, but it's not the Siayans," Alaric called to his master.
The trio looked to who ws coming and saw that it was Krillin.
"Hey, its Krillin," Gohan said.
"Right. How bout some help?" Krillin said.
"Yeah, sure why not? Though things are going to get intense. You might not be able to keep up," Piccolo warned Krillin.
"I doubt that. I've been doing some training of my own."
"So you have. If you were able to get this much of power increase, then there is no telling how much the other fighters have gotten stronger."
"Hmm. Goku is running late. I'm not sure how long we can hold without him."
"Our dad is coming, Krillin," Alaric asked.
"Are you sure he is on his way?" Gohan also asked.
"Don't worry. He already contacted Master Roshi. He said he is already on that Snake Way path."
"Thats great," Gohan said, while Alaric was just relieved that their father was on his way.
"Look alive you three. The Saiyans are here," Piccolo said.
They looked up and saw two figures floating in the air. One was small while the other one was bigger. They had simillar armor that looked alot like Radditz's, but the short one seemed to have all his body covered with blue clothing. The small one had hair that was sticking up like a flame, and the big one was just bald.
"Haha. Why do you think they are standing out here in the middle of nowhere?" the big bald one, known as Nappa, asked his partner.
"I think they are waiting for us," the spiked hair one, known as Prince Vegeta, answered.
The Saiyans landed on the ground, and they got a better look at the fighters. Nappa noticed Piccolo, and said,"Hey Vegeta, that green guy is a Namekian?"
"Oh you're right. What is he doing out here so far from Namek?"
Piccolo was shocked to hear that he was actually from another world, but at the same time, he actually knew that it was true.
"Then he must know where the Dragonballs are. You mind telling us where they are so that we don't have to hurt you," Prince Vegeta asked Piccolo with a smirk on his face.
"Forget it. Your gonna have to kill me before I tell you where the Dragonballs are."
"That can be arranged."
"Easy, Nappa. Try using your head for once."
It wasn't too long until Tien showed up with Choutzu, and Yamcha finally landed from the air. The Earth's best line of defense was set up to face the Saiyans. Vegeta and Nappa pressed on their scouters to measure their power levels. The scouters read that each Z-Fighter was about 1 Radditz, which was actually 1,000 in regualr scale.
"They're all equal to one Radditz."
"Wait a second Nappa. Don't you remember? They can hide their power levels. Thats how they got Radditz."
"Oh right."
"If your just here to talk, I suggest you just take a hike to where ever you two came from," Piccolo called out to the Saiyans.
"Oh, we'll get there. Nappa, lets see how stong they really are. Plant the Saibamen. Maybe they can make them tell us where the Dragonballs are," Vegeta ordered Nappa.
Nappa took out some sort of capsule with what looked like seeds and liquid inside.
"This well be fun to watch," Nappa said in excitement as he was just about to plant the strange seeds. But before Nappa could put the first seed, beam of energy was shot and obliterated it, along with the other seeds.
"SNUGGER! ROFFER! CABAGEHEAD! FOFO! OTHER CABAGEHEAD! VEGETA JUNIOR! NNOOO!" Nappa yelled.
The person who shot the energy beam was Alaric.
"Uhh, Alaric? Why did you do that?" Krillin asked.
"It was when he said, 'they,' that got me to realize what the Saibamen could possibly be. I don't what they are, but what I do know is that they're not going to be a good thing for us. Especially if its being planted by these guys," Alaric aswered back as he kept to his guard. The Z-Fighters could only stay silent due to the reason Alaric gave.
"Wow... Now I know that Goku adopted that kid. No offense to Goku, but he wasn't that smart when he was a kid to figure that out that fast," Yamcha said out loud.
"Well played Alaric. Well played," Piccolo congradulated his student.
"Since we can't use the Siabamen anymore, I guess your gonna have to teach them a lesson, Nappa," Vegeta said as he stepped back to get a better view for what was about to come. Nappa took a few steps foward, and then he stopped, clinched his fists and got into a fighting stance. The Z-Fighters were starting to sense Nappa's energy starting to rise up. Through the use of Ki, Nappa's energy was also causing telekinetic outburst all around the area the Z-Fighters were standing. The effects were small tremors which gave the Z-Fighters a hard time to balance themselves. Gohan lost balance and tripped.
"Get back up Gohan. Stand your ground," Piccolo yelled at Gohan. Gohan tried getting up, but all the pressure of facing the Saiyans and feeling their power was starting to get him uneasy. Then Alaric ran to Gohan and grabbed him by the arm to get him up. Alaric looked to Nappa who was still powering up.
"We can't allow him to get to his full power. We need to stop him and take him out while he is still at a lower level," Alaric whispered to Gohan.
"How do we do that?"
"Lets see if Piccolo has a plan for that."
The two brothers moved to Piccolo, and Alaric gave Piccolo his advice on trying to keep Nappa from gaining any power. Piccolo then came up with a plan, so he tried to link with everyone telapathiclly.
'Listen everyone. I need Tien and Yamcha to come by my side. The rest I need you to keep a distance. I'll keep filling you all in on what we're going to do."
The Z-Fighters ackowledged and followed along Piccolo's plan. The information the gathered seemed to have been recieved alot faster than what they expected because they were already putting the attack plan into progress.
Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha were in front of Nappa who was almost up to reaching his intended level of power. Then, Piccolo was the first to fire his attack towards Nappa, while Tien and Yamcha did the same thing right after Piccolo. Nappa saw the blasts coming, so he needed to put a huge amount of his energy into trying to defend himself from the attacks. They impacted Nappa, and from the combined efforts from the three fighters, Nappa was knocked back. As Nappa was disoriented from putting his energy into rising his durability to survive the attack, the other Z-Fighters charged from behind and started attacking Nappa.
'Hmm... Didn't see that coming. Either way, Nappa needs to learn to keep in mind of his surroundings,' Vegeta thought as he reviewed the battle.
The bald Saiyan was being hit in many angles and areas of his body by the surprise attacking Z-Fighters. He tried to lay a punch on his attackers, but, for tactical reasons, the smaller Z-Fighters were the ones that were attacking him. Due to their size and the size of Nappa, they were difficult to get a hold of. One of them was actually hurting him in precise locations around his body. The back of his knees were hit, which caused him to fall to his knees. Then they all were swamping on him. He needed to get them off, so Nappa used a detonating attack to push them off.
The blast caused Gohan, Krillin, and Choutzu to fly back from the force of the explosion. Nappa got back up, and looked and saw the Z-Fighters were spread out, except for Piccolo, Tien, Alaric and Yamcha. Nappa couldn't rely on his scouter to see which one was the weakest, so he decided to go for the smallest one, persuming that the smallest fighter would come out to be the weakest. He looked towards Choutzu, and he charged right towards him. Tien saw that Nappa was going after his friend, so Tien quickly used his speed and the fact Nappa couldn't since power levels to his advantage. Tien got to Nappa and kicked him in the head, which sent Nappa crashing into the rock pillars.
"We need to regroup," Piccolo called out.
Nappa was able to hear that, so he decided to make sure that they won't get together. They were using their numbers to even the playing field against Nappa, so Nappa needed to keep them seperate. He got back up, and started shooting blasts at the fighters. Alaric and Gohan were already next to each other, so they were able to watch each other's backs against the incoming ki blasts. Nappa used this to his advantage and attacked the Z-Fighter that was close to him, Yamcha.
Nappa grabbed Yamcha and started to pound him with painful hits. Krillin saw his friend being beaten by the Saiyan, so he needed to get the Saiyan's attention before its too late. Krillin started charging up an attack until Piccolo called out to him.
"Yamcha is too close. With the beating he is already taking, he might be too defensless against you attack," Piccolo said.
"He is going to die if we don't do something," Krillin said with fear.
Alaric looked to Gohan. "You know what we have to do?"
"Yeah. Lets save ."
The boys then flew right towards Nappa. With Alaric being the fastest, he was the first one to kick Nappa in the head and throw more hits at the Saiyan's face. As Nappa was getting hit, he had to let go of Yamcha to defend himself. As he was just about to counter-attack, Gohan was behind Nappa and he fired a blast right to the back of Nappa. This knocked Nappa down to the ground. This gave Alaric the oppurtunity to get Yamcha out of there, and back to where the Z-Fighters were finally regrouped.
"His tougher than I thought. I don't even want to know how things would be, if he even get to his higher level," Piccolo said.
"Master Piccolo, do you still know that attack you did on that man who was attacking my father the previous year?" Alaric asked.
"Yeah. Thanks to all the training, I might be able to get ready faster this time. And more stronger."
"Maybe for a little insurance, I can also charge up a Tri-Beam. With the power of those two attacks, we might be able to finish this Saiyan."
"Well need someone to keep him busy from charging up, and from getting to us. Are you boys up for that?" Piccolo asked Gohan and Alaric.
"We're ready."
Alaric, Gohan, Krillin, Choutzu, and a barely recuperated Yamcha charged at Nappa. Nappa saw them coming, so he fired a blast from his mouth at the charging team of warriors. The Z-Fighters barely dodged the attack, and they started throwing ki blasts at Nappa. Nappa ran up to them in hopes of closing the distance, and using his strength to overwhelm them.
Nappa knocked away most of them as if they were birds, but Yamcha leapt back and charged up his attack.
"Spirit Ball!"
A ball of energy was thrown at Nappa, but Nappa knocked it away with his arm. Yamcha started to manipulate the direction of his attack right back to its intended target. But then Nappa just shot at the ball whic blew it up, and then shot a blast at Yamcha. Choutzu tried throwing more attacks on Nappa, but Nappa grabbed him and knocked down to the ground. Gohan and Krillin charged up their attacks to fire their attacks.
"Masenko!"
"Kaa-Mee-Haa-Mee..!"
Nappa was just about to fire as them, until Alaric came up right to his face, and fired a blast right into Nappa's eyes. Nappa grabbed his face in hopes to tend to his blinded eyes. Alaric moved behind Nappa, and hit him towards Gohan and Krillin.
"HAAA!"
Both of them yelled out as their attacks hit Nappa. As Nappa was injured, Piccolo and Tien fired their attacks.
"Special Beam Cannon!"
"Tri-Beam!"
The precise impact of the Special Beam Cannon, and the destructive power of the Tri-Beam were just about enough to finish off a blinded, injured Nappa. The corpse that was once Nappa, dropped dead as a unsupported concrete statue.
As Krillin, Alaric, and Gohan were helping Yamcha and Choutzu up, they were cheering that they were able to defeat the Saiyan. Though for some odd reason, Alaric seemed to be a bit shocked at the way Nappa was killed.
Their celebrations all came to a halt, when they started to hear clapping and laughter. It was coming from Vegeta who was setting back.
"Hahaha. You actually killed him. He always was the big stupid one. Nevertheless, that leaves one wish all for just myself," Vegeta said, as he got up and removed his scouter.
Piccolo started to figure out that something was diffenitlly wrong. Vegeta seemed to have a way stronger base power level than Nappa's hightend power level. If Nappa took orders from Vegeta, then that would mean that either Nappa was only the stupid one, or Nappa only followed Vegeta's order's because he feared him.
"Boys. Brace yourselves. This is going to be one hell of a fight," Piccolo called to Gohan and Alaric.
"I wouldn't call this a fight. I think the word, 'Massacre," is the better word to use here," Vegeta said, right before he charged right towards Piccolo and kneed him right into his gut.
Piccolo clenched his stomach in pain, while Tien tried firing at Vegeta, but Vegeta was too fast for the three eyed man. Vegeta kicked Tien away into a rock pillar. Two of the strongest Z-Fighters were taken out that fast by this Saiyan, and the others were standing in fear. Vegeta wanted to see more fear in their eyes, so he lifted his hand and shot at Yamcha. The blast went right through Yamcha, and it became a clear sign that the scarred faced fighter was dead.
"YAMCHA!"
Krillin yelled out as his friend was killed. Alaric had his fists clinched, while Gohan and Choutzu were already near to die in fear.
"Dad. Where are you?"
Goku had learned a little more about the world Alaric is from. The training is over, now they had faced the Saiyans. With the added help of Alaric, and a few switches here and there, the Z-Fighters defeated Nappa. But now they well face the power of Prince Vegeta.
