(2) "So this is Earth," A rambunctious little Sayian boy, by the name of Prince Vegeta, spitted sourly as he looked out on to the view of Earth, "Why is it so… blue?"
"When I ventured there years ago, I discovered that they don't receive there water from underground and that it's above ground," A voice came up on the speaker, it was Vegeta's elder Radditz, "it covers practically the whole planet."
"Do the Earthlings live in the water?" Vegeta asked curiously, "and what are those green patches?"
"The green patches are filled with what they call grass, it's not like our planet at all Prince Vegeta. And the Earthlings live on these lands of grass," Radditz explained.
"Why most everything be so complicated with those dumb Earthlings?" The small boy crossed his arms and leaned back, "What happened to the patriot, Goku again? Didn't you tell us he turned not so patriotic towards his planet?"
"Ah yes, my brother," Radditz replied, "An old Earth man brain washed the child so I killed him, I didn't have much time to stay, being that I had already filled out my Earth report, and the moon is only out once a month on their planet, so I didn't get to know how Goku was doing. Hopefully he remembered his true nature."
"Didn't you say the most recent report on him showed he had a son?" Vegeta asked with his stern scowl on his face.
"Oh yes, his son is believed to be around your age, if not the same," Radditz answered.
"I've got a plan," Vegeta smirked.
"Happy birthday dear Gohan! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang at little Gohan's birthday, "How old are you now? How old are you now? Hold old are now? How…"
"Okay, just stop singing and let him speak," Goku said annoyed at all the singing.
"I'm," Gohan thought for a moment, "eight years old!"
"Yeah!" Everybody cheered.
~ Wow, it's been seven years since Goku and Chi-chi got together, ~ Bulma thought with Yamcha's arm wrapped warmly around her neck, ~ and the same for me and Yamcha. We should be celebrating too… but… ~ Bulma looked at Yamcha with big innocent eyes, ~ It took Goku two years to purpose to Chi-chi… and Yamcha doesn't seem the least bit interested in marriage… even though I love him so much and he loves me… right? ~
Yamcha smiled down at her with a puzzled look on why she was staring at him, "Uh… babe, Goku just asked you if you wanted cake."
"Oh," Bulma blushed and looked at Goku holding a plate of cake staring at her. Bulma smiled and took it, "Yes, er, thanks."
Just then Chi-chi began to yawn, "Hey, what's in this cake Lunch, it sure is making me sleepy."
"I followed the ingredients exactly," Lunch yawned and sat down.
Soon, everyone had fallen asleep. That's when two figures came into the house, one an adult holding a tank of sleeping glass, and other a small boy, both were wearing gas masks. It was Radditz and Vegeta.
"There he is," Vegeta pointed at Gohan, his voice muffled by the mask.
Radditz tossed the tank to the side and went over to Gohan as Vegeta taped a letter to the wall. Radditz kidnapped Gohan and, with Vegeta, left.
"Ohh, look at the little half breed," Vegeta sneered as Radditz tossed the sleeping Gohan into a pod, "silk eh? He's too rich for his own good. Which probably means he's been spoiled and sheltered all his life."
"You can tell all that by just looking at him, Prince Vegeta?" Radditz asked curiously.
"That, that party he was having, and the clothes his mother wore," Vegeta explained, he was pretty intelligent for an eight-year-old.
"Not Goku though," Radditz shook his head, "I know he hasn't forgotten, you could tell he was hiding something from those humans by the look in his eye.
"Yes, yes," Prince Vegeta agreed with a nod and looked at Radditz, "speaking of which, you did remember what to write on the letter, right? It's almost 3:00."
"I remember, on one side I was to write in our Sayian tongue," Radditz nodded and recited, " 'Goku, if you can read and understand this, you are still the Sayian patriot we sent here. These are your directions if you want your son to return to you; come today at 3:30pm (Earth time) to the Sunset Desert Regions. Bring no one, unless you want them dead. We must speak with you and afterwards we'll return your son to you.
" 'If you are still the patriot we knew, you'd know that we mean no harm to either you or your son. Those Earthlings however—well—we can't promise we won't harm them.
" 'Sincerely, Prince Vegeta & Second Class Sayian Radditz (your brother)'" Radditz finished.
"Yes, and the English side?" Vegeta asked.
" 'Dear Earth scum," Radditz began, " 'if you want your stupid little brat back come to the Sunset Desert Regions 4:00pm today. If you're late and find the brat killed, though luck, but if you come early we will kill him anyway. All we want is Goku, and that's all. Fail and—as we said before—we will kill the little one.'"
"Perfect," Vegeta sneered.
Bulma blinked her eyes open and saw Goku standing frustrated holding a sheet of paper. She barely managed to take another breath when Goku slammed the paper on the table and fled out the house.
Bulma blinked her eyes in confusion pushed Yamcha off of her and got up to read what was on the paper. On one side was a bunch of dribble, but on the other…
Bulma checked her watch, 3:20pm. Goku would be there in no time if he flew! It would be to early and the kidnappers would kill Gohan! Bulma had to stop him.
She ran outside and yelled into the air, "Goku! Goku come back Goku!"
It was too late, he was already gone. So Bulma ran inside and shook Yamcha awake.
"Wha…" Yamcha stifled a yawn, "what is it Bulma?"
"We need your air-car! Goku and Gohan are in trouble!" Bulma yelled.
Yamcha learned by now never to question Bulma and got up.
They ran out the door to his air-car.
"Okay, I'm here," Goku landed and Prince Vegeta turned around to see Goku.
Vegeta's eyes lit up as he saw Goku, "So! You are still with us! We were beginning to worry!"
"I'm not with you," Goku spat.
"What…" Radditz looked at him astounded, "but what are you talking about brother?"
"Don't call me brother," Goku's eyes narrowed, "I want nothing to do with you. You killed my grandpa, you monster, it took me years to figure it out, but when I did… it was infuriating."
"I had to Goku," Radditz defended himself, "look what that human did to you! He's not your Grandfather Goku!"
Goku glowered at his brother in silence, then turned his glare on to Vegeta, "And you."
Vegeta winced.
"Tell your father I no longer consider myself a Sayian," Goku said still scowling, "you bastards sent me here when I was just a toddler and you expect me to continue to fight for you? No. Just because my father, Bardock, and my Uncle Turlus were Patriots, does not make me one."
"You traitor!" Vegeta hissed angrily, "now we'll be sure to destroy that child of yours!"
Just then all the Sayians' attention was diverted by and air-car landing overhead.
Goku's eyes widened in horror as he realized it was Bulma and Yamcha, ~ No! They must've read the letter! I should've destroyed it. ~
Vegeta disdainfully smirked at the look on Goku's face, "Or, why don't I just destroy those little humans in there?"
"You leave'em alone!" Goku snarled picking up Vegeta by the neck.
Radditz hesitated, but Vegeta signaled him to stay where he was.
"One little shot and they're as good as dead," Vegeta pointed his finger at the car as Yamcha and Bulma peered their heads out.
"One shot and you'll be dead," Goku tightened his grip around Vegeta's neck.
"Goku!" Bulma called.
"Go home Bulma!" Goku barked, but Bulma only backed up quietly.
Vegeta snickered and kicked Goku one good time in the stomach.
Goku took a few steps backward, caught his balance and got on guard, "KAME AHME AH!!!"
Vegeta went flying into the air and smashed against a pod which screamed, "DADDY!"
"Gohan?" Goku stopped and ran to the pod, "Gohan!"
"Daddy!" The pod began crying.
Goku ran in front of it, but couldn't quite remember how to open it.
"He'll be fine brother," Radditz assured from behind Goku, "but I can't say the same for you if you don't reconsider."
Goku trembled with frustration and blasted Radditz in the face, "I'm not your damn brother!"
Radditz held his face in pain and tripped over his own feet.
Goku once again tried to open the pod.
Vegeta rubbed his head angrily as he rolled to his feet and glared at Goku, "You hurt me."
"Trust me kid, you don't get enough spankings," Goku began trying to pull the door open by force.
"How dare you!" Vegeta snapped, "I've been disciplined my whole life! It is you who needs spankings!"
Goku smirked at Vegeta as the door began to lift with his force, "Believe me, my wife sees to that."
Vegeta tilted his head in confusion.
"Goku!" Bulma screamed, "Look out!"
Goku let go of the pod door which slammed shut again and grabbed Radditz's foot which was about to kick him upside his head.
"Tsk tsk," Goku shook his finger and flipped Radditz on to his face. He stood up and looked down on Radditz, "it seems as though the monkeys don't know much manners now do they?"
Radditz jumped to his feet angrily, "How dare you call us monkeys!"
Goku jeered.
"You're no Sayian of ours!" Vegeta gritted his teeth.
"Well duh," Goku started innocently, "isn't that what I've been trying to tell you?"
Radditz growled and punched Goku in his face.
Bulma couldn't believe what she was seeing… or rather… hearing. It seemed that him and two others with tails just like him were fighting! Not only that, but he'd just yelled at her in some gibberish language and not even noticed. In fact, none of the words any of them had been saying was in English!
That big guy was punching Goku hard, and Goku just stood there and let him punch. What was happening? What was going on? Bulma knew better than anyone that Goku could block those punches.
"Maybe we should get out of here Bulma?" Yamcha said unsteadily.
"No," Bulma shook her head firmly, but Yamcha jumped in his car and took off, "YAMCHA!!!"
"Stupid fool!" Radditz yelled and kneed Goku in the stomach, because he was tired of punching Goku's bruised, bleeding, black-eyed face, "Why are you letting yourself be beaten!"
Radditz threw a ki blast at Goku and he flipped over the pod.
"So that… I can feel the pain my Grandfather felt… before you murdered him…" Goku spat up blood as he stood up weakly.
"He was you Grandfather!" Radditz yelled and hit Goku with an even stronger ki blast.
He went to blast Goku again, but this time Goku wouldn't let him. Radditz unleashed a terrible attack and Goku deflected it with his arm as he got to his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Now," Goku cracked his knuckles neck, and back, "it's your turn. Kao-ken times five!"
Vegeta and Radditz backed up as Goku's power rating of 100 went to one-thousand and multiplied itself by five.
"Impossible," Vegeta's eyes widened as he read his scouter, "it most be some trick!"
Like a bullet, Goku plunged at Radditz and smashed his nose in. Then just as fast disappeared.
"Over here!" Goku said. Radditz turned around and punched what seemed to be Goku, but was only his after image. Then WHAM Radditz fell to the ground after Goku kicked him in the head from behind.
Goku snickered backwards flipped to his feet and bowed in a way that was supposed to be respectful, but seemed to be in mockery.
"Why you…!" Radditz growled as blood poured from his broken nose, "I no longer consider you my brother, but my enemy!"
"Gosh, are you ever late," Goku crossed his arms.
Radditz went in for an attack, but again only an after image. He quickly turned around and punched yet another after image. Then POW Radditz flew to the side after being punched in the side of his head.
Vegeta shook his head in shame.
Radditz got to his feet and glared at Goku. The fight went on for hours, until the last strike.
"And this," Goku formed a spirit bomb as Radditz formed one of his own special attacks, "is for my Grandpa!"
Goku tossed the bomb at Radditz. There was no escaping it as it hit him and blew him to smithereens.
Vegeta looked at the spot where Radditz had been without a hint of emotion on his face.
"Are you intimidated?" Goku asked, "I'd be glad to spare your life if you leave now."
"I'm not in the least bit worried," Vegeta turned his feeling-less look.
That didn't last very long when Vegeta soon learned he was no match for Goku.
POW Vegeta hit the ground yet again. Goku landed in front of him with flames burning in his dark eyes.
"Do you surrender?" Goku asked looking at the boy Sayian on his back all banged up and mangled.
"Na…no…" Vegeta stammered in pain.
"Your funeral," Goku said coldly and blasted Vegeta in the face.
This wasn't good. Vegeta was losing his energy more and more and couldn't reach his moon simulator. He felt everything blanking out, everything getting darker. Then Goku stopped, not because he was taking mercy, but because he was going to finish Vegeta off once and for all.
"Goku stop!" Bulma cried finally cutting in as she ran over and grabbed Goku arm as he formed an energy bomb. He glared at her angrily. This was not her Goku, her Goku wouldn't even think of destroying an innocent boy. This Goku was someone she'd never known. "Goku he's just a boy!"
"You think I don't know that?" Goku snapped at her, finally in English, "I've given him a chance to surrender, but he won't. Which means he'll return to destroy us all! Does that like a nice thought to you?"
"No, but he's only a boy!"
"He's not only a boy, Bulma! He's a Sayian!" Goku snapped.
Bulma looked at him confused.
As Goku and his friend fought, Vegeta started to make his getaway by crawling. His pod contained the kid, so he'd have to use Radditz's. A foot away from the pod a foot crushed his hand. Vegeta gritted his teeth in pain and looked up at Goku.
"Where do you think you're going?" Goku glowered down at Vegeta.
Vegeta laid silent on the ground, prepared to die, as Goku powered up.
"Goku! No!" The woman, Bulma was her name, yelled trying to stop him, but he pushed her to the ground.
There was no stopping it this time, Vegeta was as good as dead.
"First," Goku started with a smirk as he looked down at Vegeta, "I'll chop off your little tail, then I'll blow your brains out. How does that sound?"
Vegeta swallowed hard in his throat.
Bulma looked at Goku in shock and horror as he powered up to take out the boy in the most painful and violent ways. She did the only thing she could do. She flung her arms around the child and held him close. He looked up at her in surprise.
Goku stopped and looked at her, "Let him go Bulma, I must take care of this."
"I will not let you kill a boy Goku!" Bulma shouted, "Imagine how his father would feel! I mean, he's probably around Gohan's age! How would you feel if you found that your son had been killed?"
"That doesn't matter!"
"It does!" Bulma held Vegeta closer and he blushed. He'd never been this close to a woman's chest before.
"Bulma," Goku started, "you don't understand!"
"I don't have to!" Bulma snapped, "This boy is an innocent victim!"
"He is not!"
"He is only a child--!"
"So you've said before," Goku was beginning to lose his temper.
"He's still young, he can be taught, just give him a chance Goku!" Bulma cried.
"No! And if you don't move I'll destroy you as well!" Goku threatened and got ready to blast her and Vegeta.
"Then do it," Bulma said bravely.
Vegeta shut his eyes tight, but nothing happened.
Goku sighed and put his hand down and grumbled angrily, " Fine ."
Bulma smiled happily.
"But you must promise me this one thing," Goku started, "you must take this child into your custody and never let him go into outer space."
"What!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"It will be done," Bulma nodded and smiled warmly at Vegeta, "We'll get along just fine."
Vegeta reluctantly smiled back at her, but it came out deformed. She saved his life, this stranger had saved his life!
"When I ventured there years ago, I discovered that they don't receive there water from underground and that it's above ground," A voice came up on the speaker, it was Vegeta's elder Radditz, "it covers practically the whole planet."
"Do the Earthlings live in the water?" Vegeta asked curiously, "and what are those green patches?"

"I don't have to!" Bulma snapped, "This boy is an innocent victim!"
"He is not!"
"He is only a child--!"
"So you've said before," Goku was beginning to lose his temper.
"He's still young, he can be taught, just give him a chance Goku!" Bulma cried.
"No! And if you don't move I'll destroy you as well!" Goku threatened and got ready to blast her and Vegeta.
"Then do it," Bulma said bravely.
Vegeta shut his eyes tight, but nothing happened.
Goku sighed and put his hand down and grumbled angrily, " Fine ."
Bulma smiled happily.
"But you must promise me this one thing," Goku started, "you must take this child into your custody and never let him go into outer space."
"What!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"It will be done," Bulma nodded and smiled warmly at Vegeta, "We'll get along just fine."
Vegeta reluctantly smiled back at her, but it came out deformed. She saved his life, this stranger had saved his life!
