Bulma walked back to the house with Radditz following close behind. She had learned years ago while she was training with Goku; forgiveness is better than hate. Giving people a second chance to turn around usually worked, unless the person was truly evil. She looked back to Radditz, who had his eyes down in deep thought, and silently hoped that he was not truly evil.
Just in case she decided to threaten him in advance. "I want to make myself clear, do not even think about turning on me. Keep in mind that I fight with telekinesis, which means I can rip your heart out with just a thought. With that out of the way, tell me why you are here and do not leave a single detail out."
Heading her warning, he decided to comply. The thought of her having such a unique power enthralled him to no end. Rumors had surfaced about the mysterious saiya-jin. Then there was her sister, sadly he reminded himself that he just put to death, which had strength that no other female had. It was to be believed that the strongest saiya-jin female would produce the mightiest warriors. If that was the case he needed to watch himself around his own nephew.
"I was sent here to destroy all the inhabitants of the earth. My prince, well our prince being that you are a saiya-jin, noticed this planet was not purged as it was supposed to be. So he sent me here to finish the job. I knew that my brother was sent to this planet when he was first born. All saiya-jin babies are, most likely even yourself was sent out when you were a toddler to purge a planet."
Bulma shuddered inwardly, hoping that she had not done that. She couldn't imagine laying to waste an entire planet just for kicks. "I highly doubt I did. I would remember that I would think."
Radditz shook his head in denial. "If you don't remember then you were drugged with an injection that causes you to lose your memory. Some soft scientist on our planet came up with it, hoping that our race could be born into more gentle creatures," he spat, "for an absurd reason that he believed us to be murderers. We follow a simple rule, eliminate those who are weak, and strive to be the strongest."
Bulma looked down at the ground. "So basically our race was nothing but killers. That's real comforting," she replied sarcastically.
Radditz shrugged. "Its what we are, what we were made for. We are a warrior race, fighters by birth. Weakness is intolerable."
"If that is so why did you cower down in front of me a second ago?"
He sighed wondering why she had to hit a sore spot with her questioning. "Throwing away my life at the hands of you would have been a stupid move. I live to survive, nothing more."
Bulma nodded in understanding most warriors shared the same viewpoint. She hoped to be able to change his way of seeing things. Living to survive always led to complete and utter destruction of the soul. Noting his irritation, she gathered she was making him feel uncomfortable and decided to end the line of questioning. "Last question, who is this Vejita you were talking about?"
Radditz just laughed. "Your worst nightmare. He is the prince of Vejita-sei, or was at least until it was destroyed. Vejita is the strongest out of all of us, and is on his way here. So unless you wish to die, I suggest we get started on training."
Raising an eyebrow she snorted in disbelief. "Oh please, he couldn't hold a candle up to Goku."
"Not only can he hold a candle to him, he would incinerate him and the rest of us. He is the incarnation of what a Saiya-jin means. And if you even managed to defeat him there are larger beings that would exterminate this planet without lifting a finger."
Bulma sighed as realization of a non-peaceful life settled upon her. "I take it that is what happened with Vejita-sei. A stronger being destroyed it as well. Does this cycle ever stop?"
Radditz shook his head, not replying. He knew it was a continual cycle, one that until the universe was destroyed, would never come to an end.
Seeing that he was not going to continue, she closed her eyes, and wished that she knew more about her saiya-jin family. They must have disagreed with their race as well, for them to use the shot on her. Then the thought of her adopted parents came into mind.
'I do love them, but I know they couldn't be my real parents now. The explanation of 'the tail is a deformity' proves false now in the light of this information,' she thought to herself as she walked up to Goku's door.
Bulma knew that it was going to be hard to explain to Gohan what had happened to his parents. Seeing how he just lost both of his parents to his uncle that swore he was from outer space. "Life is never boring that is for sure," she mumbled under her breath as she opened the door, only to be tackled by a trembling young boy.
"Mama! Daddy!" he cried out into Bulma's shirt, shaking from rage and sorrow. He heard the scuffle of feet behind her and looked up hoping that his parents were there, not gone from this world. His tear-ridden eyes locked with the obsidian ones of the person who killed his parents.
Gohan screamed out in rage and tried to lunge after Radditz, but found himself held back in Bulma's arms. "Let me go! He murdered my parents!"
"Gohan, I can't do that, you and me both know what Goku would say. They can be wished back remember? Just wait a few months. Things will be back to normal I promise. In the mean time I will take you under my wing, and Radditz here will be helping me as well," Bulma replied as she tried to soothe away the young child's sobs.
Gohan looked up to her and sniffled. "You promise you won't leave me Bulma?"
Bulma turned back and laid an ice-cold glare on Radditz. "No Gohan I won't and neither will your uncle, will you Radditz?"
Radditz shook his head quickly. Being around this female was going to prove interesting indeed.

King Kai watched as Goku and Chichi fought in the air, sending punches left and right. Chichi had a well placed bruise starting to form on her cheek from an uppercut that she failed to miss earlier. King Kai winced at the pain it was going to cause tomorrow, but she insisted that she was ok.
He turned and looked at Goku who was fairing a bit better in the match, sporting a busted lip that he received from ducking the wrong way from a roundhouse kick.
They had been going at it ever since he had told them about the two saiya-jins' coming to their planet. Both had improved tremendously since their arrival, working extremely hard since they learned of the truth of their past.
Watching the two spar, King Kai had a hard time believing these two innocent lovers could be saiya-jins. From what he had heard, saiya-jin were ruthless killers and assassins of planets. The last tidbit of information he received shocked him to no end, but decided not to tell until the two involved were together or learned of it themselves.
As the two warriors shot across the sky, he looked at his watch he decided to call it a day. "Hey you two, its time to eat!" King Kai yelled out, and within an instant Goku had his wife in a bear hug standing next to him.
"Argh! Goku I wanted to spar some more," Chichi grumbled as she wiggled in his arms.
Goku just grinned down at her. "Spar later, food now. Plus we really need to rest. We keep going at it like this and we will be to tired to continue tomorrow."
Chichi knew that he spoke the truth. "Ok. Just as long as you promise we will get started immediately tomorrow morning."
Goku smiled at his wife. She was determined to protect her home, almost like a lioness guarding her den. "I promise." Kissing her lightly on the forehead, he carried her inside the house.
"Enjoy your time right now, this calmness will not last much longer," King Kai spoke to their shadows, knowing the arrival of the saiya-jins was only a matter of months away.
