The terrifying Raditz then turn around and tell Goku his terms one final time.
"If you want your boy back, you will kill 100 humans in 24 hours and bring them back here by the time I get back." He repeated for his younger brother to heard.
"Y-You coward! He's just a kid! Leave him out of this!" Krillin berated the warrior alien.
"Yeah! That's right!" Bulma continued as Master Roshi stepped in.
"For one thing, there's no way that Goku could bring himself to kill anyone." Master Roshi brought up as Raditz turned back at the remark.
"That's fine. I can kill this twerp right now, if he doesn't want to get his hands dirty. But either way, once we subjugate the upcoming planet, this one is next." Raditz finished as the others stiffened at the threat.
"The three of us Saiyand should be ae to kill off the inhabitants of this planet in one month." Raditz stated as Goku grabbed his brother's boot. Gohan cried out as the alien would then address Goku.
"Daddy!" The toddler pleaded.
"You heard that, Kakarot?"Raditz addressed Goku as he looked down at him.
"Give me back my son...!" Goku wheezed as he was washed in the waves.
"I'll be expecting a positive amwser. For the sake of your son, and for your sake as well." Raditz hoped as he then kicked Goku's hand away.
"Don't think for a second that you can go against me." The Saiyan warned as he flew up into the air.
"With your and your other son's work-in-progress power levels, your no match for me." He confidently stated as Gohan screamed for his father.
"Farewell, Kakarot! I look forward to tomorrow!" Raditz shouted down as he flew away as Goku yelled out.
"Gohan!" Goki yelled as his brother would zoom away with his only son.
Goku went onto all fours as the others would come to help him up.
"Are you okay, Goku?" Bulma asked with concern.
"Sorry there, but there was nothing we could've have done." Roshi apologized.
"He got me good with that punch, Goku. Sorry for not helping you as much as I could." Poto also apologized as he wiped his mouth as he digested the information he had gotten.
"Goku..." Krillin muttered as he looked sad about what happened to his friend.
Goku then got onto his knees as he beckoned his Flying Nimbus.
"Flying Nimbus!" Goku yelled out as the yellow cloud zoomed to him.
"Goku, wait! Think about what you're doing!" Master Roshi reasoned as Bulma continued.
"You can't fight him like that, you're hurt!" She poouted out.
"They're right Goku. A single blow got you on your stomach. If you go after him now, you'll die." Poto warned him the cold hard truth as he would settle down.
"I know, but what am I supposed to do?" Goku wondered as he was helped to the stairs of Kame House. They talled about Raditz as they strategized on how to defeat him.
Until Goku and Poto both came up with the same anwser.
"His tail." They said in unison.
Goku then explained that if they could grab his tail, that if could drain his power. But then Poto brought up that was on the assumption that he didn't train it like he did. Krillin was still skeptical about the two being able to pull off the feat in of itself when they were interrupted by yet another familiar voice.
"It's usless, there's no way." It rang out. They would look around, then above to see that it was none other than Piccolo Jr.
"Piccolo!" All who were below shouted in unison as they were shocked frightened as they just went from one big bad to another. The warrior dropped to the ground as he walked towards them.
"In case you forgot, his power level is nothing short of extraordinary. Far superior to our own. You're brain dead if you think you can take him by yourself." He finished as Goku responded.
"However, if we pulled our strength together just like we did with Garlic Jr. and worked as a team, them we just maybe would have a slither of hope." Piccolo explained as Goku became suspicious.
"Hold up. This isn't like you. Why would you suddenly decide to help me?" Goku interrogated as Piccolo explained.
"Don't get me wrong. This is strictly business. I have no interest in helping you play the hero again. And I couldn't care less about your son." Piccolo finished as he continued. "I just don't want that alien interfering with my conquest of this planet!" Piccolo strongly fonished as Bulma hid behind Turtle in fear.
"So here's the deal. I'll join you for as long as it takes to defeat these Saiyan warriors. But of course once we're done, I'll crush you like a bug and continue my plans for world domination." Piccolo stated as Goku looked at him.
"That won't happen." Poto said as Piccolo would turn to him. He snarled in memory of the boy.
'And I'll deal with that brat after I get rid of Goku!' Piccolo plotted as he glared at the pre teen.
"He's right, I'll make sure you won't be able to go through with your plans after...
But an alliance doesn't sound too shabby. You might be crazy, but you're right, it's the only way." Goku agreed after giving it some thought.
"Then we agree. We'll just have to deal with it." Piccolo nodded as Goku Poto turned towards the green man.
"Teaming up with Goku and the runt once again. I hope I can suppress my urge to vomit." Piccolo said as he smirked.
Goku then asked for the Dragom Radar as Bulma went to fetch it for him. Goku then then hop on his Flyimg Nimbus as he asked if Piccolo could keep up with it.
"Hey Piccolo, think you can keep up with my flying Nimbus?" Goku challengingly asked with a smirk as Piccolo replied.
"You may rely on your little fying cloud, but my methods are a little more advanced." Piccolo laughed as Goku smirked back at him.
Poto just had a stern face as he steeled his gaze and stowed his woes as the three flew off from Kame House to confront the Saiyan warrior.
Gohan was crying within his uncle's spacepod as Raditz walked up climbed out of the crater.
"Now then." He grunted. The Saiyam warrior began to wait in anticipation.
But he given an eventful interruption as his scouter began to rapidly beep as it was getting an irregular power level.
"That's strange. My scouter is giving me a warning." Raditz noted as he pressed ir a few times.
"A power level of 710?! And it's close!" Raditz fearfully exclaimed as he looked around. But then settled on Gohan as the numbers had plummeted when the scouter had finally focused on the boy. Or rather, when the boy had calmed down from his angered state.
"So that's it. The damn thing's broken." Raditz brushed off the jarring spike as he pressed it once more. "That almost gave me a scare." He muttered as he would walk away from the crater.
Meanwhile in the skies nearby...
"We're getting close, we should try to sneak up on him." Goku planned. But Piccolo threw away the idea at once.
"It won't work. The direct approach is best."
"Huh?"
"He's wearing some sort of scouting device. It allows him to tell where his enemies are located and even gives him some notification of their strength." Piccolo stated as Poto would keep quiet.
Raditz's scouter would no doubt out them if they chose the flanking route.
"So he might know that we're coming after him, already?" Goku asked.
"Pretty much guaranteed." Poto spoke out, beating Piccolo to the chase.
"Okay then. That leaves us no other choice but to fight him head on!" Goku decided as they flew towards Raditz.
Speaking of Raditz, his scouter would have picked up some more power levels.
"Again?" Raditz grumbled as he spat. He would check the power level of Gohan. He was annoyed that it was the same as before since it meant that his scouter might be defective, but would be alerted to 3 more power levels heading his way.
"They're fast. And they have power levels of 322, 344, and 350. The middle one is the same reading as Kakarot and the last one is the same as his other son but they couldn't be coming here, could they?" Raditz looked up as his scouter beeped.
"No... There's no way they're stupid enough to think that they could defeat me. And besides they couldn't even find me even of they wanted to." He said as he walked around.
He tried fiddling with his scouter, but it still showed the same readings as before, to his ire.
"I give up. This thing is completely busted!" Raditz smatled as he sighed. He quickly turn around as his scouter beeped one final time.
"Impossible! They're here!" He would exclaim as Goku, Piccolo and Raditz were all present as they flew over the Saiyan and would then descend as Goku flipped down, Piccolo landed and Poto vanished to the ground. The three of them engaged in eye contact with Raditz as they stared each other down.
"How did you know how to find me?" Raditz asked.
"That is none of your business." Goku refused to anwser the kidnapper as Raditz smirked.
"Well, let be try a different question. What are you three imbeciles doing here." Raditz rephrased.
"Isn't it obvious. I came for my son." Goku anwsered.
Raditz let out a short laugh.
"Let me get this straight. You're meaning to tell me you're one of the last remaining Saiyans and you still refuse to join us?" Raditz questioned with a smirk.
"That's exactly what I mean!" Goku clarified firmly as he Raditz talked for a bit more. Soon, Piccolo grew tired of the talking and got into action.
"I've had about enough, I'm not interested in your family squabble!" Piccolo said as he threw his cape which landed with a hard thud on the ground. Same with his hat.
'His power level just jumped to 408.' Raditz observed with a beep of his scouter.
"I see you've still been wearing your training weights, Piccolo." Goku noticed as he took off his weights as well as Raditz would be surprised.
"Something tells me I shouldn't hold anything back for this one." Goku said aloud as Raditz noted that his power level reached 416.
"Since you guys are getting serious, maybe I should loosen up a little." Poto observed as he let more and more of his power ooze out. He stopped around halfway, which got Raditz to note that his power level was an even 500.
Raditz then threw away the fruit he had in his hand and laughed. He then called the three of them fools and told them that he would have to put them in their place.
Goku told him to go ahead and try before saying that Raditz may have power, but they had a strategy. Raditz then anwsered that they will see how long their supposed strategy will keep the lot of them alive.
Raditz then thought about the offer that he had given Kakarot and changed his mind, due to him deciding that he'd just slowing the rest of the Saiyans down.
"I was thinking about the offer I gave you, Kakarot. And I've decided to change my mind. You with your work in progress strength would just slow us down when we need you most. AND FOR BETRAYING THE SAIYAN RACE, YOU WILL DIE!" Raditz roared as the wind blew behind him as the trio braced for an attack as Raditz rushed forward.
The Saiyan warrior then elbowes each of thr fighters in the back, causing them to fall forward. But they would all regain their footing relatively quickly.
"Since these are your last moments, let me fill you in on a little secret. The two other Saiyan warriors that I mentioned earlier have power levels that surpass even mine." Raditz revealed as it caused Goku, Poto and Piccolo to freeze in fear.
They were now be in a tight spot. Even if they did manage to defeat Raditz, there would be two more Saiyans to contend with.
The fighters conversed a bit more, with Raditz telling Goku he tried to reason with him, but he didn't listen. Goku then said that even if they defeated Raditz, two more Saiyans were on their way, with Piccolo finding the prospect exciting. But Goku used the word terrified. Raditz laughed and say he would feel the same if he were in Goku's shoes, making Poto snarl at him.
Goku then demand his son as Raditz told him where he was. Gohan reached out for his father as Goku flied up and saw him trapped in Raditz space pod.
Goku said he would get things out of there, but Raditz laughed at the ridiculous concept, telling his brother that he's making a promise he couldn't keep. Goku dropped down to the ground again as he got into his stance.
"Fine, lets do this." Goku would say as he got into his fighting stance.
"Good, because I'm getting sick of waiting around." Piccolo voiced as he too got in his fighting stance.
"I want to see if this fellow Saiyan is really as strong as he seems." Poto gestured as he too readied himself in a stance.
Raditz laughed before the three warriors engaged him.
They rushed and swung at the alien, but he simply dodged and moved his head from all their headshots. The four of them began to zoom around as they would be moving at incredible speeds, and would be trying to land a hit on the warrior. They all then went for Raditz's back, but the Saiyan would just stretch his legs as he kicked both Goku and Piccolo in the face as he would then twirl before kicking a braced Poto's cross guard, sending him skidding through the dirt as his guard was broken.
The warriors quickly return as they tried to grasp at Raditz but he would just evade. The alien flew up into the air as the two followed him. Poto did too, but would stop once he felt that the Saiyan was gathering Ki. Raditz then fired two light red ki blasts at the warriors, making them barely dodge as they exploded several mountains on one side, and a hillside on the other.
Goku then landed and then ask where Raditz went as he looked for him. The Saiyan in question phased behind Goku and kicked him in the back. Goku went flying as he then saw Poto going in for a Ki Blast Barrage. But Raditz would dodge every single attack before winding the pre teen away with an afterimage, into a wrenching gut punch that send him flying.
The two landed as Goku skidded on his stomach and Poto on his feet as he held his stomach in pain.
"Damn... Are you ok, guys?!" Goku called out. Poto responded that he was hurting, but he was fine as Goku nodded. He and Poto would then look in horror as Piccolo's arm.
As it was clean chopped off, with the body part out of sight.
"Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. I only need one arm to fight." Piccolo assured.
Raditz would laugh as he would state that Puccolo was half dead already. They snarled at the warrior as they tried to see if they had any other attacks.
"I wish. Sorry, I've got nothing." The orange clad warrior said.
"Me neither. Well, atleast nothing hat would work in this situation." Poto would explain, at the current level he was at.
"You two have been slacking. Luckily I've been perfecting a technique for the last few months since before Galric Jr." Piccolo said as Raditz inquired to if they were talking about a new strategy. He went on to tell them to just die already and stop wasting his time.
Goku then asked if the attack could be done with one arm, with Piccolo saying that it could. He needed a few minutes to charge it though, and that's where the two of them come in. They needed to distract Raditz long enough for him to get it ready. Ironically the attack was going to be used to kill Goku, but now it just might save him against this powerful foe.
Raditz would have finished readying himself. As Goku Poto launched themselves at Raditz, Piccolo began to charge the attack. They were meeting punches and strikes as Raditz who blockee and counter striked them all. They slowly became overwhelmed by Raditz as he decked Goku in the face before blocking a kick from Poto, which would then be grabbed as the boy was thrown in the opposite direction.
Goku quickly jumped up as he began to charge a Kamehameha Wave. Piccolo would almost be done charging his secret attack. Poto was charging a Cyclone Cannon as he too jumped into the air. Raditz was cornered as all of their power levels had jumped to around or over 1,000 as his face finally became somewhat fearful.
"HAAAAAAA!" Goku roared as he fired his attack.
"Cyclone Cannon!" Poto telled as he would fire his attack as well.
Raditz began to evade as the two beams would have combined to form a true blue beam. Raditz, would have ran as Goku and Poto controlled their combined beam to chase him. Raditz had enough of fleeing and would have stopped to challenge the attack.
"Fine, let's have it!" Raditz shouted as he stopped, turned and outstretched his hands. He then fired his own attack as he caught the blast, it pushing him back as the combined power level was above 1900, higher than his own. It then exploded as he was caught in the blast, obscuring his view.
When it cleared, his hands would be seriously scratched and cut with some blood as his armor was now scratched and worm. He would then clench his hand as blood seeped.
"You double teaming fools! You think that would be enough to end me!" Raditz said with hidden fear as he charged a blast as well. "Let's see if you can do the same!" He challenged as he threw the blast at our heroes.
The blast zoomed and connect, as both warriors were sent flying and would crash onto the ground as Raditz approached.
Poto Goku then had their shirt necks grabbed as Raditz was ready to attack them after he phased in front of them and grabbed them, but was alerted to Piccolo.
Raditz then realize that the fighters could alter their power levels at will as Piccolo fired his attack.
"Die, Saiyan! Special Beam Cannon! '' Piccolo toared as the corkscrew like laser would rushed from his index and middle fingers as it came at Raditz. Everyone was be surprised as it would rush towards the Saiyan and would hit, before going through his shoulder and hitting am mountain, leaving a large cloud of smoke and a wounded Raditz in its wake. But the reason Raditz was only bruised and not damaged like his palms, was because he dodged.
"It connected!... But he moved at the last second...!" Piccolo realized as Raditz would begin to speak.
"Congratulations. You managed to give me a wound, and for that you will pay dearly." Raditz threatened as he began to charge a blue energy ball.
"See you in hell! Saturday Crash! " Raditz yelled as he was about to fire the attack. But then he paused as Goku grabbed his tail.
"You let your guard down, so now I've got you by the tail." Goku smirked as Poto smiled and fist pumped as Goku turned the battle to their favor. "Now Piccolo, charge your attack again!"
"Well done, Goku! Now hold him there, I only have enough energy for one more shot!" Piccolo alerted as he began to charge.
"Kakarot, would you kill your only brother, your own flesh and blood!" Raditz asked as he was now on the ground.
"Shut up. We've been through this and as far as I'm concerned, you're no brother of mine, especially one as callous as you. Besides, you tried to kill me first!" Goku brought up.
"I know, Kakarot! I have seen the error of my ways thanks to you. Let me go and I'll leave you, your sons and your planet in peace!" Raditz pleaded as he laid there.
"Don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth Goku, he's lying!" Piccolo yelled. "There's no way in hell he'll leave quietly now." He continued as Raditz, would continued to beg and plead to have his tail released as he would leave this world as soon as he would, and how Goku had a right to be cautious. He even promised on his pride as a Saiyan warrior that he would leave.
"Do you mean that?" Goku asked extremely cautiously.
"I swear it.'' Raditz squeezed out as Goku would now think about letting go of his tail.
"Don't let go, Goku! This is all a ploy!" Piccolo warned his ally.
"Don't do it, Goku, he's lying!" Poto shouted as he sae Goku's hands loosening up.
"Please Kakarot, you have to believe me! I'm begging you!" Raditz begged as he would lie there. Then Goku would slowly let go of his tail.
"GOKU, NO!" Poto exclaimed.
"GOKU!" Piccolo shouted in firm annoyance!
Raditz smirked as he would get up and elbowed Goku. He then put his foot on his brother's chest as he laughed and said how he had never found anyone so stupid in his life as Goku had now realized that Raditz lied.
He explained that he was a first class warrior and would do anything it took to survive, even lying to and killing his own brother. He then demonstrated by crushing him afoot. He then turned around as he beckoned Piccolo to fire his attack again.
"Damnit, I can't! He'll just dodge it again. Kid, you're gonna have to-" He was interrupted as the spacepod would explode as Gohan would fly out in a rage.
"Woah!" Poto exclaimed.
"What?!" Raditz shouted.
And Piccolo was agape, as they all would be watching the boy come out of confinement with a teary glare.
He flipped down and give Raditz a seething glare as Goku told his son to run.
"Run, Gohan! Run!" He tried to tell his son, but he wouldn't listen, as he was far too angry.
"His power level... it's at 1,307!" Raditz was shocked as the boy then rushed at Raditz with a fearsome headbutt as he yelled out.
"You stop hurting... My DADDY!!!" Gohan would yell as he connected, causing a defibrillating blow to the Saiyan. He staggered back as the boy fell and he would clutch his cracked armor.
"You... You brat!" He growled, shocked before he walked closer.
"Gohan...?...!!" Goku realized what his son just did after he called him as Raditz was approaching the tyke.
"I see now. Your power fluctuates based on your emotions." Raditz stated as he was upon Gohan. He was about to smack the child when Poto ran up and grabbed the boy right before he was dealt a serious blow as he would be sent sprawling as he let go of Gohan.
The boys then tumbled a ways away as Poto was more hurt as Gohan was nothing more that dizzy.
"aditz then walk towards the boy as Goku beg him not to hurt Gohan.
"Please... Leave him be, he's just a-"
"Child?! Is that what you were going to say?" Raditz finished for his brother as he would stop.
"That boy has more power than any of you here. And because of that, I'll kill him before he learns how to use it." Raditz said as he walked to his nephew,much to Goku's dismay.
But then Poto got up and blocked his path.
"If you want Gohan you're gonna have to go through me first, Raditz." Poto blocked the taller man as he tried to block the older Saiyan's path.
"And I'll even kill your eldest son first, just so that there is no hope of vengeance from your offspring." Raditz decided as he then rushed at the boy, decking him. Poto would stagger back but would throw a clothesline that would be dodged as he was kneed. He then fired a blast at Raditz while in the air, but that too would be deflected.
"Hm? Power level of 1,000 exact!? Not as strong as his youngest son, but nevertheless, you still are a threat that needs to be dealt with." Raditz decided as well as he went for the kill.
The younger full blood was finally put out of the game as Raditz elbowed the back of Poto's head before he sledgehammered the fighter down on top of Gohan, the boy landing just right so that the toddler's body wouldn't be crushed by his downforce.
Raditz then descended as he raised his hand as pink static would dance around it.
"This is where it ends. Now DIE!" He yelled as he would be about to finish the two children off.
A/N:
And our heroes have found themselves in a plight! With Raditz overwhelming the three fighters, plus a surprise hit from Gohan, it looks grim as the two youngest combatants are facing a terrible fate.
But will something intervene in this doodling conclusion? Or will Raditz get his way, slaying his entire family lineage, even the assumed one?
And will Piccolo be able to fire off his touted Special Beam Cannon once more? Ans will it deal the finishing blow? All will be anwsered in the next chapter of Dragon Ball Supreme!
Now for the power levels:

Goku - 334 (Weighted)
416 - Unweighted
1900 - Cyclone Kamehameha
290 - Damaged

Now for some comments.
Seankurt - 1,500 is from the Daizenshuu 7. 1,600 is from a movie pamphlet. Nuff said.
