Chapter Four

On New Namek, Gokou and Uub were talking to Piccolo.

"So you need me to help you fight, huh, good thing I have been training using my new powers." "What, you have new powers too!" yelled a surprised Gokou. "Yes and I will show you them later, but now let me pull myself together." Then Piccolo let out a long, low growl. At that another Piccolo emerged and absorbed himself into Piccolo, and shortly after four more replicas of himself were absorbed also, making six Piccolos transform into one. "I see you have been using your split form technique to train, therefore improving your strength six times more while training, very clever."

Observed Uub. "Yes, I can make up to 64 versions of myself before I tire and we do not become one before two days are up then we start to explode one by one, which weakens me greatly. I had to learn this the hard way as I lost two of me a week before you arrived." stated Piccolo. "Bummer." said Gokou. Then Gokou flew off to find a Namek elder. The Namek dragonballs were collected and Gokou teleported Piccolo and Uub to the kaioshin planet before he made his wishes.

"Arise Porunga, great dragon and grant me my wishes" cried Gokou. And as always the great red dragon's appearance astonished Gokou (the Namek dragonballs had a different dragon named Porunga, who was red, muscular, and a great deal more menacing and larger than Sheng Long, the green earth dragon) and made him jump back. Recomposing himself Gokou stepped forward. "What are your three wishes Son Gokou?" boomed the great Porunga, by now the namekians had gathered around to watch the spectacle. "My first wish is for a planet to be made called Beast, the planet should be prosperous in agriculture, approximately four times the size of the earth and made to withstand any impact made upon it. My second wish is ..."

On the kaioshin planet all the Z gang was accounted for except Chaozu. He had something to take care of and could not teleport himself, but he said he would contact Gokou telepathically when he was ready to go. He had just contacted Gokou when the saiyajin appeared in front of him. "Gokou, I sensed in your mind that you had summoned the Namek great dragon and I wanted to make a wish also." "Well come on" said Gokou and took Chaozu to Namek. "My second wish will be at the command of my friend Chaozu." bellowed Gokou.

"I am an eternal child and I cannot grow very strong as my physical shape does not change. My wish is that my physical shape would change so that I wolud become much stronger." pleaded Chaozu. "Your wish is granted" came from Porunga and Chaozu's body started changing. He grew taller and bulked up and his hat fell off, he retained his chalk-white hue, but his usually red cheeks lightened to a dull pink (think of a pale white Nappa). Gokou turned to Chaozu and said, "We're not leaving yet, there's one more wish I want you to be here for. My last wish is..." stated Gokou as a surprised Chaozu looked on.

Chaozu had at last made it to the kaioshin planet and he was greeted by Tenshinhan. "I stayed here to wait old buddy, I knew you were making the wish, but boy, that transformation really beefed you up" stated Tien, looking impressed. "We'd better go join the others in weapons training." advised Tien. Off they went as Gokou appeared on the planet surface, but he was not alone. As the kaioshins were directing the Z gang in weapon use, Gokou and his mysterious friend approached them.

"Ah, Kakkarot it seems that you have finally joined us, what, who is it you have brought with you, I demand to know!" screamed Vegeta. "My friend here is not a stranger to most of you, and some of you know him more well than I do. I do not plan to keep you in the dark any longer and without much further ado, I present to you my older brother, the saiyajin warrior, known as.." and as Gokou was about to finish the tall figure stepped forward, "RADDITZ!!" shrieked Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. Goten stepped forward also and said "Who is this joker?" Gokou replied, "Goten meet your uncle Radditz." "What is the meaning of this Kakkarot, why did you bring him to this dimension.

This weakling could never help us fight!" With an ice cold glare glare at Vegeta, Radditz said, "It is no matter what you think saiyajin prince, but I have been training in the other dimension and have almost attained the legendary SSJ status for your information." "So what!" Vegeta shot back, "Why your baby brother Kakkarot and I have achieved the fourth stage beyond SSJ. And even Kakkarot's first born, Gohan, the one that helped defeat you has reached SSJ2. Ha, you are still a weakling!" Radditz lunged at a surprised Vegeta, but found himself face down in the dirt with bruises along his back. Even the usually quiet Gohan had words for his father, "Yeah, father why did you wish back uncle Radditz? I know you have wise reasons for everything that you do, but this is outrageous!"

"Will you all settle down! You know as well as I do that we are going to need help in fighting these guys and saiyajins are a race filled with fighting spirit, and when angered their strength is unparalleled by anything in the known universe. I had wanted to wish back my father, Bardock, because as I said we need all the help we can get."

"Well why on earth didn't you wish HIM back instead!" growled an angry Vegeta (He did not like having another saiyajin besides Kakkarot and himself being alive. He wanted to be the last of a dying breed and now Kakkarot has brought back his brother who might, like the rest of Kakkarot's family become stronger than him). "Bardock had been dead too long and that wish was beyond even Porunga's great power. Besides Radditz's evil has been purged, he said so himself, and I know it sounds naive, but I believe him. Maybe it is our brotherly bond, but he speaks with goodness." said Gokou. "Okay, okay, my dad is trusting him and what other choice do we have but to do the same." reasoned Gohan. Everyone agreed that Gohan was right. "I want to get back to training and test out this new body!" shouted Chaozu. Immediately the team went back to training. "Hey Gokou," commented Piccolo, "His ki is no longer evil I can sense that, but there's something else different about Radditz that I can't put my finger on." "Oh, I had to cut his long hair so that when he went SSJ1 or 2, you wouldn't think he was in SSJ3. He sorta looks like Yamcha now doesn't he?" asked Gokou. "Now let's get training, we only have three years!" Everyone was training with a partner, Gohan with Piccolo, Goten with Trunks, Uub with Vegeta, Teshinhan with Chaozu, Gokou with Radditz, Kaio-bit with Kuririn and Yamcha. Dai-kaioshin was instructing them in proper form and techniques in using weapons.

He had said that he would give them each a piece of magical, unbreakable metal he had retrieved from Bibi Di, Babi Di's father. He said that once they finished the training they could use the metal and their kis make powerful weapons, unique to them only. He also said that no two people could produce the same weapon, unless they were truly kindred spirits.
