Okay, I hope everyone is interested in a nice long chapter today! I have actually decided what I want to do about Jaune/Froze that I think you'll find to be both genius, and ironic. For this chapter, however, is a beat down of everyone's favorite low level Saiyan whose hair resembles a pineapple!

Raditz: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Me: "Shut up, Raditz, and do the disclaimer! And after that, go get groceries. You Saiyans eat more than any living being in the cosmos, except maybe Unicron."

Raditz: "Fine. But I better be getting paid for this. The following is a non-profit, fan based crossover. RWBY is owned by the people of Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super are all owned by Funimation, Toei Animation, Fuji TV, and Akira Toriyama. Please support the official release. Is there anything you want me to get while I'm at the grocery store?"

Me: "Well, we need sodas for the little side project of this story I plan to work on."

Raditz: "Gotcha."

On the last episode of Dragon Ball Z ARC REWRITTEN, the Saiyan, Raditz, arrived on Earth claiming to be Goku's older brother, stating that Goku is also a Saiyan warrior. And though surprised by Froze and his startling resemblance to someone named Frieza, Raditz quickly recovered and attempted to get Goku to join his evil cause; killing all life on the planet and selling it to the highest bidder.

Neither Goku nor Froze agreed with Raditz, and blatantly denied his offer right to his face. Seeing he could not get either of them to join forces with him willingly, Raditz resorted to another tactic. Kidnapping Gohan! After defeating both warriors with one attack each, the evil Saiyan has given Goku one day to kill one hundred humans to prove his loyalty to the Saiyans and their cause. And should he fail, Gohan is the one who will pay the price for it! Can Goku and Froze save Gohan in time and defeat Raditz?

Piccolo Joins The Fight!

"Just to make sure we're clear on this; One hundred humans dead. This time tomorrow. Be here or he's dead. Do it, and we fly off together to pile up a few million more bodies. Fail, and there'll be only one dead body - your son's." Raditz said.

Goku groaned as he tried to push through the pain his brother - no - this monster put him through. He had to fight this guy and protect his son, no matter the cost. But from the look and feel of it, he's not getting up anytime soon. After all, Raditz hits far harder than any other enemy Goku's fought to date! And glancing at Froze, he can tell that the lad's not doing too well either. He too is straining to get back up, though he's made greater progress than he (Goku) has so far, having managed to get up on one knee.

Froze was glaring at Raditz with all of the pent up hatred he's felt for so long now. Hatred for those in his old universe, and hatred towards himself for being so weak. It's just downright infuriating!

"Y-You call yourself a warrior!? Usin` a KID…!?" stuttered Krillin.

"H-He's right! If you think Goku'd ever go and kill somebody, you're wrong!" Master Roshi added, getting over most of his fear.

Raditz didn't at all seem fazed by their words. Though, he was mighty impressed by Gohan's struggles to try and fight him. Despite having the blood of these pathetic Earthling mongrels running through his veins, the boy really does have the heart of a Saiyan. All he needs is the proper training and motivation, and he can be cultivated into one of the finest warriors ever to be produced by the Saiyan Race. After their prince, of course.

"The choice is his." Raditz said nonchalantly. "If he values a hundred humans over his son, fine."

The Saiyan smirked cruelly as he cast a sideways glance at his downed brother.

"...Although, I feel I should warn you, after my comrades and I exterminate the vermin on that other world," he said with a sneer. "We most certainly shall return, and repeat the process here!"

"WHAT!?" exclaimed Roshi.

"Y-YOU'LL WH-WHAT!?" gasped Krillin.

Bulma herself was too scared to say anything at this point. And with good reason. If this guy was strong enough to one-shot Goku of all people, what's to stop him from eradicating all life on this planet? She doubts the world military would be able to stop this monstrosity of a humanoid! This is scarier than the debacle with Piccolo!

"I give the inhabitants of your puny planet… Oh, let's say a month… once we three begin the clean-up process. Really, if you think about it, what difference does it make, if Kakarrot should happen to give one hundred of you a headstart?" Raditz asked cruelly. "DO YOU SEE NOW!? YOUR CHOICE IS NO CHOICE AT ALL, MY DEAR YOUNGER BROTHER!"

By this time, Goku managed to get up on his knees as he reached out for Gohan. And Froze was shuddering as he struggled to push through his own pain and stood with shaking knees as his legs threatened to give out.

"G-Give me… back… my… son…!" Goku grunted in pain.

"And… If you don't… give him back… I'll MAKE you give him back!" Froze declared.

Raditz spared a glance at the Frieza lookalike and knew that he was indeed tougher than his brother, if he was able to stand already when his own brother could not. But it made little difference. He may be tough, but he's no Frieza.

"Make the right decision, oh my brother…" mocked Raditz. "...For YOUR sake, as well as his!"

Watching things go down from afar, Piccolo was shocked to see his nemesis and this strange warrior who Goku claims to have adopted, be brought down so easily by the very tailed human who was not even so much as scratched by his own attack. And by the looks of it, they're not going to be able to do much else against him as they are now.

Even he's not foolish enough to believe otherwise. Unless…

"And also, PLEASE… Don't make the mistake of trying to fight me. Even if you two had the power to challenge me, you haven't a fraction of the necessary training." mocked Raditz as he flew up into the air.

"DADDY! BIG BROTHER!" screamed the half Saiyan child.

"GOHAAAANNN!" both father and adopted son cried out to the youngest member of their family.

"UNTIL TOMORROW, KAKARROT!" mocked Raditz.

The Saiyan flew off, laughing like a mad man as he took Gohan to who knows where, leaving two distraught family members behind. Both of them in pain and feeling angry with themselves for allowing something like this to happen.

Froze dropped to one knee and felt his anger rising once again. Hatred towards himself and his inability to protect Gohan made its way to the surface.

'Damn it! How could I have allowed this to happen!? All that training, and THIS is what happens!? Damn it…! DAMN IT!" he cursed in his head.

As he felt a new power rising up from deep within. It felt foreign and yet entirely familiar. And he felt the need to draw upon this power. However, Goku was still cursing and beating up the sand on the beach due to his inability to save his own son.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS! ...You… can't… do this…!" he sobbed as he finally felt his rage boil over.

"Goku! Froze! Are you guys okay?" Bulma asked as she and the others rushed over to them.

"I'm sorry, lads. W-We couldn't help." Roshi apologized.

But Goku wasn't paying attention. He was focused on one thing and one thing only. Saving his youngest son and sending his so-called 'brother' packing. For good!

"FLYING NIMBUS! TO ME!"

As the sentient orange cloud flew into the vicinity, Goku's friends tried to talk him out of doing something stupid like fighting Raditz on his own.

"WAIT! DON'T GO RUNNIN' OFF HALF-COCKED!" exclaimed Roshi.

"Y-YOU CAN'T! YOU'LL BE KILLED! DO YOU THINK YOU'RE IN ANY CONDITION TO FIGHT!?" added an equally worried Krillin.

"B-But I… I've gotta do something!" Goku said.

"Then let's think…" Roshi suggested.

"Master Roshi is right, Goku."

Goku and the others looked at Froze and saw him sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed. Clearly, the young adult lizard-man was meditating, but it was what he called the Son Family patriarch that really caught his attention. Froze, in all the time Goku, Gohan, and ChiChi have known him, has only ever called his adoptive parents by their first names when he has something serious to say.

They learned that the hard way when he stopped them from arguing about Gohan's future. Namely when he said it just before grabbing both of them by the back of their shirts and konking their heads together before he proceeded to chew them out for arguing like a couple of five year olds over the last cookie in the cookie jar. Good thing ChiChi managed to cover Gohan's ears in time, otherwise the, at the time, three year old would know a whole slew of curse words right now. But no doubt, if he did learn them, both parents and the eldest sibling would make sure that Gohan was AT LEAST thirteen or fourteen before he started using such language. And even then, they'd make sure he didn't start cursing like a sailor.

"There is no real plan to what you were about to do. It was only blind aggression." Froze stated as a white glow began to emanate from his body. "The best thing we can do right now is take the time to think of a strategy before we go off to fight. And before you say anything about me not fighting, I'm not going to simply sit back and wait while you risk your life to save my little brother. As the older sibling, it is my duty to protect and nurture my younger siblings. Even if it means risking my life to protect them from a mad man hellbent on destroying the world."

Goku had to smile at those words, despite the situation. Froze took his role as the older sibling very seriously, as proven by how well he and Gohan got along even before he was adopted last year. Still, the situation at hand seemed to set a very depressing atmosphere for everyone. As expressed by Bulma, who was shocked and appalled by Raditz's behavior towards his own flesh and blood.

"How awful…! Finding your family after all this time, and then… to find out it's someone like him!" she said.

"It doesn't matter! No matter who he is, I'll never forgive him!" exclaimed Goku as he stood up.

"So then… what are you gonna do?" Krillin asked. "I never seen anybody that strong! I-I mean, if he can take even YOU down…"

"...His tail." Goku said. "His weakness is his tail, and is he's got the same weakness I did, all I gotta do is crush it and his power`ll drop!"

Master Roshi and Krillin's eyes widened as they realized that Goku was right. Flashbacks of past battles where Goku would end up being grabbed by his tail and lost his powers flashed through their minds. His fights against the likes of his own grandfather, and other strong warriors was a testament to that weakness.

"N-Now that you mention it…" Master Roshi trailed off.

"That's fine, but… how the heck are you gonna get at it?" Krillin asked.

"...I can't. At least, not by myself." Goku admitted.

Krillin made a sound that showed just how worried he was about having to fight someone as strong as Raditz, especially since he was beaten in just one hit. But Master Roshi looked quite eager and ready to help Goku fight against his crazed brother.

"Now we're talkin'! Don't you worry, Son, we'll help the best we can!" exclaimed Roshi. "'Course, no one knows the whereabouts of Yamcha or Tien, but…"

"B-But if th-the th-th-three of us f-fuh-fight together… We're all gonna die…" whimpered Krillin.

That is, until he remembered seven mystical orbs that could really help them out in a pinch. Such as this little suicide run they're all going on.

"But hey! If we all buy it, Bulma can use the Dragon Balls to bring us all back, right?"

"Just leave it to me!" declared Bulma.

"No, Krillin… she can't! I found out that Shenron never grants the same wish twice. And you and Master Roshi have already been brought back to life! This time… death means DEATH!" Goku said, bursting their bubble.

Roshi and Krillin were shocked into silence by that little tidbit of information. But even so, Froze stood up from the meditation position he was once in and began to focus more of his power. This time, however, the aura of KI energy around his body began to crack and shatter, revealing his body to be changing to something else entirely. He was still a lizard man, but he was different.

As the last of the energy seemed to peel away from him, it revealed that Froze now looked much different from before. Gone where the horns that were once part of his bio-armor, now having just a ridge surrounding the base of the now dark red bio-gem in his head. His head now looks kind of like a chestnut, and the skin on his face, hands, and feet is a pale pink, and the tear lines on his face are darker pink with lines running down them. His arms, legs, and tail have circular lines all along them, and the bio armor on his forearms and lower legs is white with vertical lines where the bio-gems would be. And the tip of his tail has grown a piece of white bio-armor at the tip.

"I don't care if you two come along or not. But know this. Son Kuriza is not so cowardly as to run away in the face of danger, and does not fear death!"

Goku smirked as he sensed that his adopted child has finally allowed his true power to rise up and break him free of that shell he'd been living it. It acted as a limiter and prevented him from fighting at his full potential, despite his natural ability to fight. But now, he was revealing his true self.

"I knew you had potential, son!" Goku praised.

"...Speaking of Dragon Balls, how's THIS for an idea? Why dontcha get all seven together and tell Shenron "save the world!" or whatever?" Bulma suggested.

"BULMA, YOU'RE A GENIUS!" Krillin shouted in joy at the easy solution.

At least until Roshi decided to burst Krillin's bubble again.

"Thinkin' to find all seven in one day, eh son?"

"Oh… right…" Krillin mumbled.

"If you ask me, we should strike now while the iron is hot! He won't suspect a surprise attack!" the recently renamed Kuriza said. "If we hurry, we should be able to catch him off guard easily!"

"B-But we don't even know where he's at, plus…" Roshi trailed off.

"Miss Bulma. Dad told me that you invented a device that can track the energy signatures of the Dragon Balls. Do you still have this device?" Kuriza asked.

"The Dragon Radar! Of course!" Bulma exclaimed as realization hit her like a ton of bricks. "Gohan's hat had a Dragon Ball on it, didn't it!?"

Reaching into her coat pocket, Bulma pulled out a small white device in the shape of a circle with a button on the top, and a grid-like screen. She pushed the button and the device beeped as several dots appeared in various areas. Two were together, likely the Dragon Balls that Goku left at home, and one of them was moving. No doubt the one on Gohan's hat.

"There! Moving incredibly fast!" exclaimed Bulma.

"Where's he heading, I wonder?" pondered Roshi.

The dot representing the Dragon Ball on Gohan's person kept moving at a quick and steady pace for several more seconds until…

"It stopped!" cried Bulma.

"Thank goodness! He's staying on Earth!" Roshi sighed.

Kuriza popped his knuckles as Goku got ready to head out to save Gohan. And Roshi and Krillin looked ready to help out in any way they can too.

"'Good' is right! Good for him, good for us!" Goku exclaimed.

"W-We may even have a chance of winning this thing!" Krillin said, hope in his voice. "Not much of a chance, but…"

"Always better do die feeling optimistic, or so I always say." Roshi quipped.

"You haven't a chance. Even with the aid of Son Goku's eldest."

Krillin and the others stopped dead in their tracks at the sound of the new and scarily familiar voice. Turning in the direction of the voice, they saw the one person who could possibly make this situation worse for them.

"PICCOLO!" Goku and friends cried.

But Kuriza merely narrowed his eyes as he stared at the green man. His combat instincts were screaming at him that this humanoid was a worthy opponent for him. But he also knows this from the stories that his father told him in the past year.

'So this is Piccolo? Indeed… he does appear formidable.' Kuriza thought to himself.

While Bulma tried to flee at the sight of Piccolo, Goku stood his ground and confronted the green skinned humanoid. As did Kuriza.

"And what are you doing here?" Goku demanded.

"...I want him." Piccolo replied, putting emphasis on the word 'him'.

Upon hearing that sentence, Goku and Kuriza could tell who Piccolo was referring to. And to them, they weren't quite sure if this was a blessing in disguise, or just another curse.

"You two know each other, huh? Figures." Goku said.

"He and I have… met." Piccolo replied. "And you four have not a prayer against him. Place your hopes in me, or place them not at all."

Goku and company just quietly stared at the green man. They weren't quite sure what to think of this. Piccolo the demon king actually willing to team up with his sworn enemy to defeat a stronger enemy? What's the catch?

"Know you both well that his strength surpasses that of you or I," said Piccolo. "Alone, we find ourselves equally outmatched. Together, however, our powers may prove just strong enough!"

"...Could be." Goku admitted. "Mind telling us what's in it for you?"

"I bear you no love; that much is true. And whether your son lives or dies is a matter beneath my notice. But I have plans for this world, and I allow no one to interfere!" Piccolo explained. "The moment we use our combined powers to destroy this raggedy saiyaman, I turn my powers on you... and this time, the Earth shall be mine!'

Kuriza looked at his adopted father with a neutral expression on his face.

"Well, at least he's honest." he quipped.

"You're welcome to try. And I intend to play along until my boy is safe." Goku said to Piccolo. "After that, though, all bets are off!"

"So be it." Piccolo said with a smirk. "I pray only that I may contain my nausea at the thought of joining you."

Kuriza turned to Bulma and held out a hand.

"Bulma, we need the radar!" Kuriza said.

"Huh? Wha? O-Okay…" stuttered Bulma.

Kuriza took the radar from the blue haired woman and gave it to his father, since he knows how to use the darn thing. After taking the radar, Goku hopped up onto the Flying Nimbus and looked back to his son and Piccolo.

"You guys think you can keep up with my cloud?" challenged Goku.

"Spare me your folley. The speed of my flight will speak for itself." Piccolo replied with a smirk.

"Dad, you know that I'm easily faster than Nimbus. What makes you think this time will be different?" Kuriza asked in challenge.

Goku just smiled at the two. He was glad he had these two for backup against the likes of Raditz. Otherwise, he knows that they definitely wouldn't be able to win. With their spirits high and their confidence higher, the group of three warriors flew off to save Gohan and defeat Raditz before it was too late.

"A-are we supposed to be happy, or…?" asked Krillin as they stared in the direction Goku and the others flew off in.

"I dunno about happy, but if those 'uns are joinin' forces, you can bet we're all in for one heck've a fracas!" Roshi said, his confidence rising. "Heck, they may even win the darn thing!"

The old hermit began rushing about to find a capsule with an aerial vehicle stored in it, which is easier said than done on an island like that. Especially since he happened to misplace his capsules.

"I for one don't intend to miss it! Bulma! Where's that radar thingamajig pointing at!? We're goin' along for the ride!" yelled Roshi.

On the next episode of Dragon Ball Z ARC, Goku and Kuriza have joined forces with the evil Piccolo to defeat Raditz and save Gohan. But the Saiyan proves to be more powerful than any of them ever thought possible. With their hopes possibly riding on a single attack from Piccolo, can our heroes defeat Raditz? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z ARC!
