Chapter 2: Family Reunion

"Gohan!"

Goku's voice was full or fear as he searched franticly for his son. If he did not find Gohan soon Chi-Chi would kill him or worse refuse to cook him dinner until the boy was found. Goku's stomach growled in protest at the thought he would have to find his son quickly it was getting dark and would almost be impossible to find his small son in the large woods he was in. "Maybe I should fly up in the sky and get an over view of the forest" Goku thought to himself.

"Nimbus!" The young Saiyan cried.

Within seconds the small yellow cloud flew down towards its owner without a second's hesitation Goku jumped aboard and took to the skies. The search for his lost son was on. Maybe Chi-Chi was right about not letting Gohan play in the forest by himself until he was a little older. Though Goku truly could not understand the problem of being alone he himself had lived alone at his grandpa's house for over a year until he bumped in to Bulma, though he was still twice the age that what Gohan was now. Maybe next time the Sayian would go with his son and watch him with that thought in mind Goku nudged the magic cloud to go faster.

~DBZ~

"Daddy help me!" The cry of a small four year old boy echoed around the landscape. Gohan held tightly onto a tree branch on top of a tall tree. He had only climbed the tree to gather fruit just like he saw his dad do on numerous occasions however now he was up so high Gohan was scared. This resulted in the Demi-Sayian being reluctant to climb down and was now holding onto the small branch for dear life.

. "Stupid tree stupid branch stupid fruit" Gohan whined allowed.

His whining was cut short however as a large crack echoed around the clearing. Daring to have a glance behind him Gohan saw that the branch he was holding onto had started to break under his weight. Crack! Gohan's eyes shut tightly as he prayed and waited for the inevitable impact of the ground which never came. Opening his eyes Gohan found he was swinging upside down his tail now wrapped tightly around a new branch above him.

"Ha ha well done tail" Gohan cried out with joy.

However Gohan's cry of joy was cut short when the second branch snapped in two and his head went crashing into the hard cold floor of the forest ground. Quickly recovering from the fall the boy sat up and began to rub the rather large bruise of his head.

"I want my daddy and I want my mummy now! Whhha" Gohan's shrill cries echoed around the forest alerting some of the most unwanted forest inhabitants of his presence. The demi-sayians sobs slowly died down as he noticed the huge mountain lion staring at him. It's hungry yellow eyes locked onto Gohan own onyx eyes, droll poured from its greedy mouth as the beast crouched ready to pounce on its prey. Gohan closed his eyes tightly praying to Kami that his dad would come and save him from becoming the lions dinner. Gohan's world went black as he felt the large claws slash at his face sending him flying into a tree.

~DBAT~

"Gohan… Gohan" The concened voice of his father caused Gohan's eyes to flash open. He was now safe in the strong arms of his father; his daddy had saved him once again. Curing up into a small ball Gohan looked up at the big wide smile upon Goku's face before promptly falling asleep soft snores leaving his open mouth.

Goku have a small sigh of relief as he held his son tightly in his big arms safe and sound. Maybe he would get dinner after all, Goku had arrived just to see the mountain lion claw strike his son viciously on the right side of the head. Fear immediately clung to Goku's heart as he watch his son fly towards a tree however instead of hitting the tree like his father thought he would Gohan's eyes swung open. Summersaulting in mid-air Gohan landed on his feet before disappearing from sight. Goku had looked around desperately trying to see where his son had gone only to stare in awe as Gohan reappeared behind the lion. Gohan grabbed its tail and began to spin the lion around before tossing it back into the forest. Goku chuckled when remembering the shocked look on the lions face.

"We better not tell your mum about you beating up that big kitty today huh Gohan?" Goku said moving his hand to the back of his head to produce his trademark son grin. "Gohan?"

Goku's eyes snapped open upon realizing what he had just done while moving his hands to the back of his head to perform the son grin Goku had accidentally released Gohan from his grip. His boy was now rocketing towards the ground. The word crap was the only thing to cross Goku's mind as he raced down to catch his son.

"You have arrived on Freeza planet 89 " The space pobs computer system informed its occupant. "Accessing all known date" It continued as lights immediately sprang to life on the keyboard as the machine began to hum in anticipation.

"Accessing is complete what would you like to know sir" The females voice cut off awaiting for the occupants response.

"What is the atmosphere like on this plant is it breathable" The space warriors gruff tones echoed around the small pods confined walls.

"Accessing …. Nitrogen levels 78%, Oxygen levels 21% and Carbon dioxide levels 1% completely safe" The female voice replied.

"Good I hate wearing those observed mask it makes my face itch now what are the gravity levels of this planet"

"The gravity is one tenth of the gravity of planet Vegeta's sir"

"Very good this should make it very easy to move around here" The dark figure commented to themselves a small smile etched across his face. "Know mission information on the plant?"

"One moment please" The female voice replied as it accessed through the plant trade organisations files.

The alien warrior remained motionless as he waited for the loud beep confirming the correct file had been found.

"Mission number #1647924, mission information: training mission for the Sayian Kakarrot who was sent to planet over twenty years ago in order to eradicate the residents for sale to the Kitara race, Mission was completed sixteen years after arrival however disaster struck when Kakarrot's space pod crashed into the planets sun however the planet was successfully sold."

"That will be all" The alien finished his information gathering and clicked the exit button of his space pod.

As the door cracked open the large figure stood up tall his long hair which he had from when he was little fell to his knees as he took in his surroundings.

"Kakarrot!" He growled as he floated up from the crater his ship had caused. "You are a disgrace to the sayian race unable to complete your mission successfully you had to rely on our father to protect you and the planet you call home from the trade plant corporation. Wiping out the whole Kitara race single handily in order to make the story he created a reality you were indeed fortunate that this plant is so far out of the empire that it is never cheeked, but now it is time brother for you to pay back the debt you owe us I am coming"

With his monologue completed Raditz prepared to take off into the sky.

"Hay you"

Raditz turned round to the sound of the voice and immediately scoffed at the sight of the creature that dared addressed him. A fat humanoid appeared before the Sayian warrior holding in his arms a primitive weapon.

"Are you deaf or something I will not have any alien scum on my property so you better get off or I am going to shot" The farmer cried cocking his gun.

"I am Raditz a Sayian part of the greatest warrior race that has ever existed in the universe we are feared throughout the known universe and have been conquers of countless planets. But don't worry I am not here to conquer this sad excuse of a planet I am merely hear to find my worthless brother Kakarott now if you could just take me to him, I would be so greateful that I might just let you live" Raditz sneered.

"I do not care what you are doing on this planet or it you are Satan himself. I want you off my property right now!"

Raditz let out an angry growl of frustration he didn't know what this "Satan" was but it sounded weak. The man before him would pay for insulting his great race. Automatically Raditz clicked his scouter to cheek the power level. He nearly choked with laughter at the power level he was reading it turned out to be a measly five. However this laughter quickly turned into Angier as Raditz mental scolded his brother for his lack of ability to dispatch of the insignificant insects of the planet. What their father would think of him right at this moment Raditz could only guess however he discarded this thought as he strode forward towards the man who insulted him.

"I am warning you… I am going to give you to the count of three … or I'm goanna shoot" The farmer yelled. A smirk spread across Raditz face as he simple ignored him and continued his progress. "One ….. Two…. Threeee…."

Bang

The sound echoed around the landscape, The farmer slowly opened his eyes to see Raditz standing in front of him deadly still. The Sayian appeared to be holding something in his hand.

"What a nice little pellet you have how about you take it back"

With a flick of his wrist Raditz sent the bullet flying straight into the farmers heart the latter of which just felt a strange sensation of being punched in the heart before collapsing on the floor dead.

"Who's the Satan now?" Raditz chuckled, before promptly scouting the area for high power levels. After finding an exceptionally high power level to the south Raditz took to the sky; hell bent on finding his brother.

"Bit Chi-Chi I'm hungry why can't I have dinner now?" Goku whined to his wife.

"No Goku you have begged me for months now to give Gohan the day off today from studying so that you can take him with you to Marster Roshi's reunion party. I will not let you be late now because of that black hole that you call a stomach" Chi-Chi plainly stated while rubbing her handkerchief across a non-existent smug on Gohan's chin.

Goku pouted silently at this response. Though he knew it would not help to argue with his wife over anything she was by far the most stubbornness person he ever met and he was lucky that he was getting dinner after all. Chi-Chi had been incredible angry over the fact Goku had wanted to take Gohan with him to meet his friends saying it would interfere with their sons studying and no matter how many time she said it Goku couldn't see how any of them could turn Gohan into a delinquent whatever that was. Though it must have been bad… really bad … like no food for a whole two hours bad. The mere thought almost made Goku shudder.

Noticing the sad look upon her father's face Chi-Chi felt a tang of guilt pull at her heart. Pocketing her handkerchief Chi-Chi strode over to her husband and gave him a big warm hug. As quick as a flash she pecked her husband on the cheek and nearly fell over into a fit of laughter at the shocked look etched across Goku's face.

"Listen to me Goku if you leave for Marster Roshi's house now I'll make you an extra special dinner tonight"

Goku's face lit up immediately as a huge Son smile etched across his face.

"Thanks Chi-Chi you're the best." He said, before promptly kissing his wife. With that he quickly grabbed Gohan and left the house.

Chi-Chi stood in the now empty house her face full of amusement over her husband's antics.

"Boys" She muttered, before setting about creating her husband's favourite dish.

Crossed legged and levitating above the ground Piccolo began to focus his Ki on the boulder in front of him. Filling the stone rock full of energy the Namakien focused on his energy inside the rock and summoned it upwards towards the sky lifting it into the air without breaking it. He had been training like this constantly ever since he had lost to the fool Goku at the twenty third martial arts tournament. But thanks to the new technique he had recently mastered the green giant was more than certain that their next battle would turn out alot differently.

The sudden appearance of a large Ki heading in his direction snapped Piccolo out of his concentration causing the large boulder to come crashing to the ground, Piccolo turned crossed armed to face the oncoming Ki signal. It felt a lot like Goku's however it was tainted as though it had been bleached with evil something which Goku could never possible possess. The Namakian only had to wait a few seconds before the owner of the strange Ki arrived.

He appeared to be a human apart from the long tail brown wrapped around his waist similar to the one Goku had when he killed Piccolos father the demon king. The armour clung tightly around the being was nothing Piccolo had ever seen a human wear before but that was not what disturbed him the most it was the wide smirk etched across his face.

"Excuse me big green is it? I'm looking for my brother Kakarrot if you could be ever so kind as to point me in his direction I may return the kindness by letting you live." Raditz spoke in a mocking tone every word stabbing into the Namakian pride like a sharp dagger pirceing into his chest angering him. No one called him big green!

"My name is Piccolo I maybe green but at least I'm not some dirty monkey! I do not know who this Kakarot of whom you speak of is but even if I did know I wouldn't tell you" Piccolo growled before firing a Ki blast directly at the alien.

The blast caused thick black smoke to protrude from the blast impact. A smirk etched across his face Piccolo crossed his arms. The smirk quickly became a look of utter shook as the black smoke was quickly pushed away by a dark purple aura which surrounded a completely unscratched Raditz.

"I must congratulate you that attack manage to chip my armour" Raditz smiled pointing at the spot on his right shoulder. "As a reward for your effort however futile it was I am going to show you a trick" With that Raditz extended his right hand forward his palm facing the sky a ball of pure electrical Ki began to form in his hand. Raditz allowed Piccolo to take in the sight of the energy attack before lifting two fingers up the electrical ball moving to hover above them.

Piccolo was scared? No the Namakien reasoned with himself he was concerned deadly concerned about the power within the ball of energy the alien being held above his two fingers. It was unreal the amount of power generated within the ball and Piccolo knew he would have to act fast his new attack maybe enough to finish his new foe in one strike but the amount of charge time may be his down fall. With nothing to lose Piccolo began to charge his attack electricity began to crackle around his fingertips.

"Now" Raditz yelled with enthusiasm lifting the ball above his head. "Watch the birdie"

Beep Beep

The sound of Raditz's scouter stopped the Sayian in his tracks looking over his shoulder while the energy ball he had been about to throw distinguished in mid-air. Raditz smiled.

"So that's where you are my brother"

With that the Sayian took off into the air a purple trail following in his wake.

-DBZ-

Goku had just finished introducing his son to his old friend when he felt the large evil Ki heading towards the small island which his old Master called home. The young Sayian was not the only one to notice the evil presence heading their way.

"Get Gohan inside now!" Goku yelled at Bulma.

Bulma looked back at her friend with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity. Why did her friends never inform her when something was up? The scientist thought to herself.

"You don't think that Piccolo do you guys" Krillin asked nervously his senses blown away by the amount of power he was feeling.

"If it is he's most defenantly doing some intense training" Master Roshi commented.

"What Piccolo's coming here?" Bulma cried out in surprise looking back and forth from her friends.

"Daddy I'm scared" Gohan whined hugging the leg of Goku's trousers.

"It's not Piccolo" Goku said suddenly causing all eyes to turn on him.

"Who is it then?" Bulma asked

"I don't know" Goku admitted "But whoever it is I don't think I can beat him"

The admittance that he may not be able to beat the new threat sent a chill down the spine of all those present.

"But Goku.." Krillin started only to be silenced by a glare from his friend.

"No but's I want you guy's to take Gohan and get out of here right now I'll hold off whoever it is as long as I can" Goku yelled aloud.

"Will you now and how long do you believe you can hold me off for I wonder"

The voice filled the earthliness hearts with fear as they all looked up at the being generating the enormous amount of evil Ki. Above their heads flouted Raditz who frowned down at them his arm's crossed scanning those below him. His eyes immediately met those of Goku's and immediately recognised earth's hero as his brother.

His appearance to father is uncanny Raditz thought as he flouted slowly to the ground. That was when he notice Gohan the small boy clinging to his father's legs. Raditz gaze made Gohan feel incredible uncomfortable the young boy hid behind his father using Goku as a shield.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Goku voice was demanding as he notice the new arrivals gaze on his son.

"Hello Kakarot I am your big brother Raditz" Raditz said his eyes unmoving. "And I'm here for your son!"
