Chapter 3: The World's Strongest Team

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

Goku looked at his older brother in shock.

"How do you know I have a son?" The young Sayian stuttered.

"Ha so it is true you do have a boy. Then the old man's vision might just be true he been right about so many other things it must be" Raditz mumbled to himself before turning his gaze on Goku. "Kakatrot your boy will come with me and become a true warrior, He will bring honor to our family and the Sayian race where you have brought only shame he will grow up to despise you just as I do"

The pure hatred that emmuated from Raditz towards Goku was felt by even Bulma who couldn't help but back away from its force.

"Daddy what's he talking about I don't want to go away" Gohan yelled out crying into Goku's leg. Goku placed his hand on his son's head and rifled his boy's hair a little.

"Don't worry Gohan you are not going anywhere" Goku said quietly before speaking louder at Raditz. "Listen you have the wrong guy my name is not Kakarot my name is Goku son. And finally no one is taking Gohan away to fight"

"You are denying your child the chance to fight" Raditz yelled out in a mixture of shook and rage. " I knew you were deluded Kakarot but to deny a sayian the chance to fight is like taking away his very soul even you must understand that"

"You're not listening to me Gohan is not a Sayian and neither am I we are earthlings" Goku yelled in frustration.

At that moment something clicked in Raditz mind and a look of understanding suddenly fell across his face.

"Tell me did you fall on your head when you were a child?" Raditz asked curiously

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" Goku asked back.

"Another vision proven to yet again be true maybe there is something to the old timers visions of the future" Raditz exclaimed aloud before getting lost in thought musing at how much the information he had just discovered could affect him.

Goku meanwhile was starting to get angry with the man claiming to be his brother. The young Sayian earths strongest protectors fist clenched his mind clinging to one single thought. If he wants to take Gohan away from me then he will have to kill me.

"Hay Raditz are we going to fight or are you just going to stand there all day talking to yourself" Goku yelled aloud.

Raditz immediately phased out of sight reappearing before Goku faster than his younger brother could register. Raditz fist connected with Goku's stomach causing the young Sayian the bend over as he clutched his abdomen in pain. Raditz didn't let up and quickly grabbed onto Goku's hair lifting the Sayian up off the ground effortlessly with one hand.

"Oh did my dear little brother thought I had forgotten about him already" Raditz mocked as he quickly blocked two punches then sending a powerful knee into Goku's gut causing the latter to cough up blood and Gohan to run away in fear. "So eager to die after all the trouble our father went to protect you what a waste"

With that Raditz throw Goku into Kame house.

"You are not even worth killing scum" Raditz roared before making his way towards Gohan who was cowering behind Bulma.

Raditz yet out a growl of angrier at his brother as he walked towards his nephew. How could Kakarot raise his son to become such a coward, Raditz thought to himself as he continued his slow purposeful strides, It was lucky that I came now or otherwise such a great warrior could have been wasted and become a wimp.

The long haired Sayian's path was blocked however by the small figures of Marster Roshi and Krillin.

"If you want to get to Gohan you're going to have to go though us!" Marster Roshi yelled defiantly his stick held tightly ready to strike.

Raditz smiled as he continued to walk forward despite the old man's brave words he could tell the two earthlings where scared could see them shake in their boots. Suddenly the two charged him fists and stick respectively raised to strike. Raditz allowed a smirk to cross his face before releasing his power in a huge purple aura the force of which knocked his attackers aside in an instant. Both Kriillin and Roshi hit the floor unconscious.

Bulma held her hand to her side shielding Gohan away from Raditz. The long haired Sayian let out a snort as he merely flicked her aside nearly killing the blue hair scientist from the force of the tiny attack.

The little boy looked up at Raditz in fear tears glistening in the sun light as all the bodies of the adults that tried to protect him laid broken and bruised around him.

"Hello their kid I'm your uncle Raditz" He spoke in a mocking tone before grabbing Gohan and taking off into the sky.

"Nooooo!" Goku cried out after his brother trying to stand up before crashing to the ground hopelessly in pain. Their was nothing he could do his son was lost with no way of getting him back. The Sayian who claimed to be his older brother was just too strong for him. Tears trickled down Goku's cheek the impossible had happened Goku Son had given up.

"How dare you give up Goku…. To anyone but me" The familiar harsh demonic tones snapped Goku back to reality. Standing up doggedly as he locked eyes with the green figure flouting above him. Goku quickly dropped into a defensive stance.

"I have no time for you Piccolo my son's just been kidnapped and I've got to save him!" The words left Goku's mouth before he could think but they were true he could not let his brother take his son. Even if he would have to die in order to stop him.

"Kidnapping your son now that's a fun idea Ive never thought of" Piccolo chuckled enjoying the death glare Goku was giving him. "I have no intention of fighting you today Goku. I am here to defeat the alien that took your son"

A confused expression quickly made it's way to Goku's face. Piccolo wanted to save his son?

"You really want to help me save my son?" Goku asked with disbelief.

"Don't listen to him Goku he just wants to make you think that so he can…." The now conscious Krillin's mouth clamped shut by the glare he received from Piccolo.

"I would never do such a dishonourable thing as to attack Goku unguarded. I will kill him when he is at his best and he will never be at his best if he's worried about his kidnapped son. Besides I have unfinished business with his brother who has insulted my pride and I intend to regain it."

Piccolos gaze turned from Krillin and back to Goku.

"You and I both know that we cannot take him by ourselves he is much too powerful but together we may be able to defeat him. What do you say deal ?"

"Deal"

-DBAT-

The lights in the space pod sprang to life as Raditz typed furiously at the keyboard preparing to travel to Frieza planet 42 to meet his comrades. His nephew sat outside where he had thrown him moments ago crying and yelling like there was no tomorrow.

"Power cells our too low to complete journey to Frieza planet 42 requiring six trillion(hours) to re-charge. "The automatic female voiced hummed much to the annoyance of Raditz. Getting out of his ship Raditz contemplated the crying boy in front of him before clicking the button on his scouter. Alien digits flashed across the screen before it fixed on a single number. Raditz jaw dropped with disbelief.

"Power level 750? But that's impossible for a kid born from a third class family" Raditz contemplated his nephew before picking him up by his hair and tossing him in his space pod. Glorious silence was all Raditz could hear when the pods door closed. He would have to beat that whining out of the boy once he got back to the others he was sure his nephew would thank him later.

-DBAT-

One hour later,

*BEEP BEEP*

"What!" Raditz cried looking to the east two power level were fast approaching his location. One was a power level of three hundred while the other was a power of four hundred.

"How could they possible find me so quickly? This planet should be decades away from having the technology to find me so easily."

Piccolo and Goku both landed in front of Raditz cutting off his own monologue in an instant death glares where exchanged between the trio before Goku finally spoke up.

"Where's my son Raditz? If you give him back to me now and promise to leave Earth in peace….. You can leave here today unharmed. But if you don't then I'm going to have to kill you" Goku slowly moved into a fighting stance as he said the last words.

Raditz threw his head back and laughed humourlessly for several seconds before looking back at his brother and replying

"My dear little brother you really are a miserable excuse for a Sayian. I was just going to take your dear little boy and leave you and this pathetic excuse of a planet in peace. But I now realise that I cannot allow you a disgrace to our family and out whole race to live to see another day. You will die here today Kakarot like the dog you are!"

"Enough of these family domestics!" Piccolo yelled throwing off his turban and cloak causing a crater in the ground were they fell. Raditz watched as the power level of the Namekian slowly began to rise on his scouter when he took the weighted clothing off.

"Wow you were wearing weighted clothing too hay Piccolo?" Goku said with glee before pulling off his own weighted clothing and began to do a variety of stretches. "Ok I'm ready let's going!"

The two arch enemies turned allies charged at their opponents both striking at the same time only to see their fists going through an alter image. For a single split second shock was visible on both Piccolo's and Goku's faces just before Raditz reappeared behind them striking an elbow to back of both of their heads.

Goku used the resulting momentum of the blow to flip over onto his feet in an instant the young Sayian turned to face his brother dropping into his old turtle school stance. Piccolo appeared next to him a few seconds later in his demonic stance. The both fazed out of sight.

Raditz tracked their rapid movements and lazily threw his fist up smacking the Namekian straight in the face who was trying to perform a sneak attack from behind him before slamming his elbow cruelly into his stomach. Piccolo kneeled over in utter pain clutching his stomach before being knocked aside by a bone crushing kick. Raditz quickly turned to his left quickly catching a kick from Goku with his right hand before tossing him over his shoulder to meet the unforgiving rock on the ground.

Gohan watched from inside the space pod tear streaming down his face as his father performed the Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha wave on his uncle. Which Raditz dodged with ease before sending his own powerful Ki blast at his younger brother. Time slowed down for Gohan as he watched the events that followed the desire to help save his dad grew with every second. The green man had pushed his dad away from a powerful blast just in time to save him from death losing his arm in the process. They then began to talk to each other about something which Gohan couldn't hear. Gohan bashed his fists against the purple glass in front of him in frustration he just had to get out he had to help.

~DBZ~

Raditz fell to the ground in agony cursing himself for his own stupidity as his younger brother gleefully held onto his tail. How could he have fallen for such a simple trick? The scouter on his left eye beeped n excitement as the Namekian's power level rose. Raditz knew from the reading that if the attack hit him he would be as good as dead. There was only one option to trick his little brother to let go of his tail.

"Listen to me Kakarot" Raditz voice was croaked due to the intense pain he was feeling.

"Don't you dare listen to him Goku he will do anything to make you let go of his tail. Keep hold of him and don't let go" Piccolo demanded in a harsh voice.

"Please listen to me brother I never really wanted to take your son away. I was told by my leaser to do so. You don't understand the life I have had to live! I never wanted to be bad I was force to I'm … I'm sorry"

That did it Goku released his brother's tail without a second thought only to be met with a harsh kick to the gut by Raditz.

"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo roared pointing his fingers forward towards Raditz.

The long haired Sayian managed to dodge the beam but not fast enough as his shoulder got struck by the beam.

"Quite an impressive technique I must say …. If you'd hit me I'd be dead right now. It's a pity for you though that I am way too fast for such a slow attack to ever be effective. Now if you would excuse me…. I am going to teach my good for nothing brother a lesson about grabbing people's tails!"

Rage was the only thing the young Demi-Sayian could feel as he heard the screams of agony from his father. It was torture for Gohan as he heard his father as his ribs where cracked by devastating knee from Raditz. Gohan was enraged at the pod that kept him from seeing and helping his father. Enraged at his father for not being strong to save him. But most of all Gohan was enraged at the man that had taken him away and put him in the pod he was in and now was hurting his dad. Gohan couldn't take it anymore his head exploded with fury. His world went completely back.

~DBAT~

Gohan woke up next his father who was looking completely awe struck at his son.

"Gohan?" Goku asked in confusion reaching out his arm to his son.

Raditz clutched at his stomach in pain blood dripping out of the large crack formed by Gohans attack. Thoughts began to rush though the Sayians head. The kid has quite some power Raditz thought to himself. He actually managed to break through my armour and damage me? He cannot live to develop and control his powers such strength could easily destroy the entire Sayian race! Walking over to his nephew Raditz allowed his energy to stream from his right hand. Raditz paid his lasts respects to the young boy.

"You are a true Sayian warrior Gohan as such you deserve a death fitting for a warrior of your power an calibre I am proud to have you as a nephew"

In a flash Goku had Raditz in a tight grapple hold the older Sayian struggled desperately against his younger brothers grip as Goku yelled out to Piccolo.

"Hay Piccolo do you think you can do that attack of your one more time?"

The Namekian smirked before putting two fingers to his forehead.

"Of course I can Goku just don't release him again I only have enough energy for one more attack"

The next events where all seen by Gohan in slow motion he saw how his father desperately held his brother struggled desperately. Gohan looked towards Piccolo and knew the attack would cause his fathers and Raditz's death. Looking into Goku's face Gohan was shocked to see his father smiling at him.

"Don't worry Gohan, I'll be back soon look after your mum for me" Goku said soothingly to his son.

"Daddy" The Multi coloured beam pierced right though Goku's and Raditz heart before Gohan could finish his sentence. The sight of his father's blood made Gohan weak at the knees and feels physically sick before he fainted.

~DBZ~

Piccolo stood next to the body of Raditz as Goku's friend mourned for their loss. Piccolo snorted he could never understand this sentimental side of humans. The feeling of loss for anyone including his father who was completely foreign to the Namekian. He only lived for two purposes: To defeat Goku and to rule over earth. His thoughts were interrupted by the laughter coming from the body of Raditz Turning around the Namekian could see the smirk on the Sayian's face.

"The heroic fool he will die with me and will never see his boy grow up" Raditz voice was weak due to the amount of blood lose.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that you see on this planet we have these mystical balls called dragon balls. They grant any wish you want and I am sure his friends will have him back to life in a week tops" Piccolo smirked as he spoke however the smirk quickly disappeared as he saw the smile on Raditz face.

"You fool! This device on my eye is not only used to indicates my opponent's power level it also works as a communication device. My father and his crew have heard every last word you have just said and they will come here in order to avenge my death. Then they'll bring me back to life with these Dragon balls! Your planet is doomed… They'll be here within the year! Hahaha" Raditz Chuckled before Piccolo quickly finished him off.
