Raditz sighed as he finished placing the last of his bombs on the strange planet. He liked his nephew's plan, even if it was unorthodox. These planets were close to the patrol, which was kind of dangerous. Sure, most of the patrol was full of idiots, but times did change. They could be a threat now.

He figured that he should stop for a drink. The bomber could use one before he returned to the horde.

As he walked into a nearby bar, he noticed a chick taking shots from the bar. She was laughing as she ordered another drink. "So, he sends me out here do check for bombs, but this planet is so clean of anything." Then she pouted. "Why does every bomb I come across have to be so boring?"

Raditz grinned. So, the patrol knew he was alive and well. That was interesting, but that wasn't what really got his attention. This woman wanted to see a bomb that wasn't easy to deactivate…He had plenty of those.

He could barely contain himself as he sat down next to her and ordered a drink. "So, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he asked, knowing that would at least start a conversation. She wasn't the type that he usually went for, but he figured that he could get some decent information out of it.

She glared at him. "Who do you think you are?" She shook her head, looking back at the bartender.

"Just a lonely man, looking for some company," Raditz smiled. "And when you've been dead like me, you know what heaven looks like."

That caught her attention. "You've died…?"

Raditz smirked. "Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it." He grabbed his shot and downed it in one go. "So, does the lady have a name?"

She thought about telling him off, but he was interesting, but that wasn't the only thing. "Have I seen you before?" There was something familiar about his face.

"Probably in your dreams," he said with a sly smirk before turning to the bartender. "How about another?"

She rolled her eyes. "Are you just going to spout cheesy pickup lines?"

"It got you talking to me, didn't it?" Raditz said, taking his shot. "You still haven't answered my question or do you not have a name?"

"Grenaade," she answered, watching as he grabbed a remote out of his pocket. "What is that for?"

He chuckled. "It's for a very interesting puzzle of mine." He passed it to her. "Do you think you can figure it out? I'm stumped."

She took the remote from him. "It looks really sophisticated." How did this idiot get ahold of something like this? She moved her hand over what looked like a small ball. She moved it around, watching as the ball rolled in the remote. There had to be a reason for that.

"See, I told you that it's a pain," Raditz said, watching her every move.

Grenaade put the remote down as she tried to think it over. Meanwhile, he was ordering them more drinks. She took a couple of shots and got to looking at it once more, but as time went by, she was starting to get dizzy. "It looks like I can't do it." She giggled from the alcohol.

"I think I have the answer…back at my room." He grinned to himself as she stood up but couldn't hold herself up straight. "I'll take that for you being game." As he stood up, he also felt a little tipsy. Not that that mattered, he could get back to normal after a good night's sleep.

Raditz placed his hand behind her back, leading her out of the bar and towards his room. She was a galactic agent. He knew that from her uniform, but that didn't mean he couldn't have his fun. She was a giggling mess as he led her to his room. "What are you going to show me?" Her voice had become a little seductive, which was to his liking.

"You'll see." He opened the door and helped her over to the bed. She fell back onto the mattress and he smirked. "Do you want to get to that now or later?"

She wondered what he meant by that, so she sat up. "Did you have something else for me?"

He dug into a box, getting a small bomb out of it. "Why don't you try and disarm this?" He chuckled throwing it at her. He wanted to see what the woman could do. Not that she would get close. No one ever did.

Her eyes went wide as she noticed the clock counting down. Quickly, she looked around for any sign of a shut off line, but there wasn't any. She turned it in her hands, trying to trace which lines went where. All of the cords were the same color, so it was harder to track it on a time limit. She found a small panel, but found that on the inside was the same as the puzzle from before. Only now she could see where the balls needed to land. She tried to get them moved into the correct slots by tilting the bomb in her hand. Just as she was about to get the last one, it went off. A small puff of smoke came out and hit her in the face.

Raditz chuckled. He was impressed that she got that far. Although, that wasn't the complete puzzle to begin with. "What a shame."

She looked up at him. "You have more of these?"

He grinned. "I do…but there's another explosion about that's about to go off…how about you take care of that?"

She was about to ask him as he removed his armor. She let out a moan before dropping the piece of metal in her hands. "Yes…I think I can take care of that." She smirked as she threw herself at him.

Amongst the passion, he pulled the remote out of his pocket, pushing a button on it. The bombs were set...they should go off some time tomorrow morning. As for now, his plans involved him pushing this woman down and doing what he did best. He hoped that she was ready to be blown away, because this would be an explosion that she would never forget.


Goku sighed as he reappeared in his house. He could hear his wife running around. This was going to be hard…he already knew that.

Chichi came out of the kitchen and froze. "What are you doing home?"

Goku looked at his wife. "You need to come with me, Chichi. There's been an issue."

She looked worried. "Did something happen out there?"

Goku took a deep breath. "Goten's gone missing." He waited for her reaction, knowing that it wouldn't be pretty.

"HE WENT WHAT?!" Chichi shrieked, getting in his face. "I KNEW THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET HIM GO WITH YOU! Now my baby boy is out there in space all by himself! Goku, how could you be so irresponsible?"

"It didn't happen like that, Chichi. Let me explain," Goku started, but feared for the worst.

"Well explain then! Where is my baby?!" Chichi snapped.

"We left him to look after the ship and he ran off," Goku answered, still hoping that Chichi wasn't going to kill him.

"Then why didn't you use your Ki to find him?" While mad, she didn't understand why her boy would run off like that.

"He was too far away from me," Goku responded. "I thought that he was mad with me and Gohan, and decided to come home, but that wasn't the case."

"Do you think he was kidnapped?" Chichi said with worry. The idea of her son being surrounded by thugs and ruffians made her faint.

"He could have been. It's just hard to tell." Goku was still trying to figure that part out for himself. "I just wanted to bring you with me. It will be better if all of us are looking for him. The patrol is so focused on Vegeta and the horde."

"Horde?" Chichi asked. What had she missed?

"I'll explain when we get there." Now here was the part he didn't want to talk about. "We are going to need Uub as well," Goku said, waiting for her to start yelling again.

"Why would we need that scumbag?" Chichi snapped. There was no way that she was going to forgive the boy for deflowering her precious granddaughter.

"There's this warrior in space that I don't know if I can take out. We are going to need all of the fire power we can get," Goku admitted.

His wife sighed as she moved around the house, forcing Goku to follow her. Goku wanted to ask, but then found Uub sitting in Goten's room. The boy looked positively terrified. "Look, Mrs. Chichi, I swear I won't do it again. It just happened…I wanted to tell you all, honestly I did."

Goku sighed, walking passed his wife and over to his apprentice. Uub looked down in shame. "You're coming with me, but you're not to go near Pan. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," Uub said, finally looking up at him. "I'll do anything to make it up to you."

Goku finally smiled. "At least you were using protection."

Uub turned pale. "What did you think we were doing?" He needed to play his cards right. He didn't know who told on him, but sleeping with Pan had been a spur of the moment thing. Everyone needed to think that that didn't happen and the girl was lying. If not, he wouldn't get the girl he really wanted.

Goku and Chichi looked at each other, then back at Uub. "You slept with Pan," Chichi said, accusing him.

Uub looked at them in mock horror. "No, I didn't. We've only been on a couple of dates." His eyes went to Goku. "You know me better than that."

"Dates?" Chichi said.

"You took her out on some dates?" Goku asked. Now he was really confused.

"Yeah, she asked me to take her to some movies," Uub said, looking sheepish. "At first, I thought that Bra and Trunks were going as well, but it turned out that she wanted me to herself. I didn't want to break her heart so I thought I would at least make her happy."

Goku breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank Kami." He smiled at his apprentice. "We can get all of this cleared up, but first, I need your help."

"What's going on?" Uub said, finally standing up. It looked like Chichi wasn't mad anymore, but she was still frowning at him.

"The patrol is a mess. There's a soldier known as the berserker. We need as many hands as we can get," Goku explained.

"What do we know about this guy?" Uub asked.

Goku sighed. "Not much. Everything is surrounded in mystery." He looked over at his wife. "Along with that, Goten is missing."

Uub did want to laugh at that, but kept his mouth shut. Of course, the ladies' man that was Goten would go missing. He had never seen such a lazy bum in all of his life. It was shocking that the boy was Goku's son. Especially when compared to Gohan. "Do you know where you saw him last?" As Goku explained to Uub what had happened on Vencarzu, the young man couldn't help but sigh. Goten was an idiot after all, but then he realized something important. Goten had told Chichi about him and Pan. Goten had lied and threw him to the sharks. When he found that bastard, he was going to give him a piece of his mind and maybe a punch for good measure. "So, when are we leaving?" Uub asked.

"We're going now. Just make sure you grab on tight," Goku said to his wife and student. The two grabbed on and disappeared from the house, landing next to the ship at the patrol seconds later.


Vegeta chuckled at the screens below him. Negi and Onuin were in position, Raditz's bombs were set to go off tomorrow at the same time. Cilica and Tarble were headed to another planet, along with Turles and Mata. "Are you sure this will work, kid?"

Goten laughed darkly to himself as he walked out. Vegeta cringed as he looked over that outfit. "You know that it's the best way to get in there."

Vegeta sighed. "Those clothes are really a bore."

"But they serve a purpose now," Goten said, putting a strange gel on his hair. He looked down at his old clothes. There were holes in them, but that didn't matter. "Once we are done, I'll be sure to burn them, Master."

Vegeta smirked. "Once you return, you will get your reward, my Apprentice."

Goten looked at his backside. "I look forward to it." He laughed darkly and the prince joined in. No one would get in their way. Not the Patrol, not Frieza, not even the gods themselves. Goten knew this was where he belonged. He was a saiyan of the horde and nothing would ever change that. "I'll be on my way then."

Vegeta grinned at him. "Good luck."

"A saiyan doesn't need luck." Goten smirked back as the prince grinned at him with pride. Yes, he found his destiny, there was no running from it. Instead, he would welcome it with open arms. The stage was set, now it was time for him to be the star performer. All eyes were on him, as it should be.
