Chapter 13;

The Hospital, The Troublesome Two, and More

Raditz couldn't sleep that night. He was in the bed, and we all know how he loves to sleep, but he had been up all night, throwing up. He finally kept a large bucket next to his bed, but felt like he was going to die. He felt warm, actually, HOT! Kakarot curled up next to him to make him feel better, but Raditz still never feel asleep. Bardock came in the next day to wake them up for lunch to see this.

"Father..." he moaned, "I think I'm dying!"
"Let's get you to the hospital, then." Bardock replied, concerned for him.

The Saiyans had been into hospitals before, but none like these. The equipment was different, and they didn't have as many things as the Saiyans did on Planet Vegeta. The nurse came in, sat down, and took various tests on Raditz. The usual, just blood pressure, temperature, and stuff.

"Your son has the flu, sir. We can give him a shot, and it'll go away and not come back for about a year, if you want." The nurse said. Bardock and Raditz sighed with relief.

"Whaddya say, Ray?" Bardock thought of this as a little bit funny. Say, Ray!

"I guess..." Raditz sighed. He didn't like getting shots...

"Alright." the nurse said, as she pulled out a needle.

"Ah! Scawy!" Kakarot cried as he struggled to get away from the needle. When he was first born, when the scientists were running their normal tests that they do on infants, they stuck him with a needle. He thought it hurt very badly, and didn't exactly LIKE the feeling of things going into his skin.

"What's wrong, Goku?" Bardock asked, holding the squirming child softly.

"It's over, Ray." the nurse said nicely, as the Saiyan opened his eyes. "Do you want me to give your other son the shot, too? It would keep him from catching the flu."

"Sure." he agreed, handing her the child.

"You might have to hold him for me, sir!" she struggled.

"Okay." he grabbed a hold of his son, which he couldn't break out of. He started thrashing violently. He didn't see the nurse stick the needle in his arm. But he felt it, and finally broke free, once it was over. He jumped into Raditz's arms, holding him close. The nurse, Bardock and Raditz all laughed, but Kakarot didn't think it was so funny. They left, and when they got back, there were two special guests waiting for them.

"Hey, Tora! What're you doin here?" Bardock asked.

"Just came to visit for a while. Ya see, I thought Sash would like some time to rest, because she almost died during delivery. I promised her I'd take good care of Bardose." Tora explained.

"You wanna stay with us?" Bardock offered.

"Thanks, old friend." Tora said, grateful that they wouldn't have to stay in a crummy hotel. They went inside, and sat the two youngest down who went off together, while the two adults talked about, well, grown-up stuff. This left Raditz on his own. First, he went out to find the pest known as Tammy. Meanwhile, Bardose and Kakarot were busy causing trouble. Bardose is younger than Kakarot, so he lets him ride on his back. First, they go to the fridge, and full out the eggs and throw them at each other. Raditz comes in and sees the mess, and starts to clean it up when Bardock and Tora walk in!

"Raditz, did you do this?" Bardock asks.

"No. I...I..." he stutters. The two babies laugh.

"Just don't do it again, okay?" Bardock suggests, and they walk off. Raditz looks around to see the troublesome twins are gone too. They're off in his room, throwing wads of paper at each other, this time. Raditz tries to get them to stop, when, yet again, Bardock walks by.

"Raditz? I thought I warned you to stop?" Bardock says, annoyed.

"I didn't do it, father! They did!" Raditz points at the two, but they're gone.

"Who, the balls of paper?" Bardock jokes, and walks off.

Now, the two are outside, playing with a bee hive, trying to get the honey, when they hear a loud buzzing. They just continue their gorging, and Raditz sees this. Should I help them? He thinks. The good in him takes over, and he goes over just as the bees start coming out. He jumps on top of them, taking all of the stingers himself. Bardock and Tora hear the swarm, and blast the bees. Raditz is still laying on the boys, covered in honey and stings.

"Raditz, what are you doing?" Tora asks. Raditz stands up, ready to take a beating from his father for being bad, even though he wasn't, when the two pranksters hug his legs. This caught him by surprise, so he falls off balance. The two young warriors look up to their fathers with sad faces, asking for them to not be mad at Raditz. "Were you helping them?"

"Yes." He sighed, not sure if Bardock would believe him. Bardock reached over and patted his head. Raditz was off the hook, and the two babies went inside to clean up Raditz's room which they littered with all of the paper and trash. The next day, Bardock is walking through town and sees a flyer and picks it up to read it.

"Tenkaichi World Martial Arts Tournament?" he questioned to no one in particular. When he arrived home, he told the others, who thought it might be fun to enter. It was decided that the Saiyan 5-some would participate in the Earthling fighting tournament.
