CHAPTER TWO: THE BATTLE BEGINS





Goku pulled her hair back as she flew closer and closer to the large power level. Her only hope to save Bulma was to grab Raditzs tail. She explained this on the way there to Piccolo.
"Good." Piccolo said. "At least we have a plan. But this guy decked me with one hit. We need to be on gaurd."
Soon the landed and saw the large sayjin waiting for them at the top of a large crater. He smiled thinly at Piccolo.
"We meet again." Raditz smirked.
Piccolo sneered and pulled off his weighted cape and turban. Goku sat down and yanked off her boots, wrist bands and started to lift her shirt off. Under she wore a blue sports tank.
Raditz watched her movements and couldn't help but feel a twinge in his gut.

"She's funny looking." seven year old Raditz said. His mother held his new born sister in her arms.
"Want to hold her?" she asked.
Before he could answer her, Kakarot was in his arms. The little baby giggled and wrapped her tail around his arm and curled against his cheast.
"Well I guess she's kind of cute." Raditz laughed tickeling her with his own tail. Kakarot giggled some more and latched on softly to his fur. She looked up into her brothers eyes and Raditz smiled.
"I'm going to take care of you."

Raditz shook the thoughts away and looked at Piccolo and Goku ready to attack. He needed to concintrate. His sister was gone. This- thing- before him was a ghost. Once he would have died defending her but now he'd kill her if he had to.
Not waisting any time he flew between the two so he was behind them. While they were still in shock he rammed his elbows into their backs. The two fell forward and he laughed.
"You two are weaker then I thought." he said. "The other two sayjins that are still alive are even stronger then I am. You two won't stand a chance."
"What?!" Goku cried out. "T-that's impossible."
"He's bluffing." Piccolo said. "No one is that strong. He's trying to distract us. Let's work him together."
"Right."

Chichi paced back and forth. She had trained hard all her life serching for the best adversary she could find. Now that the strongest being she had ever met was upon them she was to stay here?! Not a chance.
She moved quietly towards the door. If she could get outside then she could fly there before anyone else noticed.
"Don't even think about it Chichi." Master Roshi said stopping her in her tracks.
"But Master Roshi," she winned. "I can feel the powers. Goku needs our help."
"She has Piccolo with her." Krillen said. "Besides we need to find the other two dragonballs." He looked to the center of the table he was sitting at. The five balls that Goku had kept were on a soft cusion.
Chichi sighed and grabbed the dragon radar Bulma had left behind. "Alright. I'll go get them."
"Need help?" Krillen asked.
"No," Chichi said slipping her black jacket over her red training outfit. "I need to get out some of this energy. Maybe flying at mach 2 will help." She walked out the door and they heard her whoosh off.
"That girl is so much like her father when it comes to fighting." Roshi commented. "Both he and old Gohan used to always want to get in the biggest, bloodiest battles they could find." The old sensei sighed. "I pray Goku is alright."

**************************************************************************

Goku and Piccolo double teamed Raditz, but it was usless. The speed he used was unbelievable. They knew he was stronger and faster then the both of them.
"This your best, Kakarot?" Raditz yelled as he lifted his fists above his head. He slammed them down on Goku and Piccolos heads. As the pair of super warriors fell Raditz shot two ki blasts at them.
"AHHHHH!" Goku scremed as she and Piccolo were hit by the blasts.
Radits smiled. No way either of them surrvived. He looked down at the smokey cloud of dust as it cleared. "What-?"
Goku got up with her gi now hanging on her as she coughed in the thick dust. "Piccolo!?" she hacked and peered around for her green rival turned allie.
A deep groan caught her attention as Piccolo got up. His left arm was now blown off and he clutched it.
"Piccolo, are you alright?" she asked.
"Nothing I can't handle." he said confidently. He looked up to see Raditz was looking down at them. He didn't even have a scratch on him. "Goku, listen." Piccolo said queitly. "Over the past few years I have invented a new technique. I fact I was hopeing to use it on you. But I think it will be enought to stop Raditz instead. But I'll need time to power it up."
"I'll try to hold him off for a while." Goku said. "I guess I can use my Kamehameha."
"You can plan all you want but it will do you no good." Raditz yelled at them.
"Where's Bulma?" Goku asked.
"You mean that loud blue haired woman?" Raditz asked. "She is in my pod behind us. After I dispose of you, traitor, I will kill her. She was mearly a lure."
Goku clenched her fist. "How can you call me a traitor?I do not even know you. Why don't you leave and let me live in peace?"
Raditz frowned. For a second he DID think of leaving. Telling Vegeta and Nappa that she was dead. No. He would not lie to his prince. His first priority as a sayjin was obey his prince.
"I truly am sorry Kakarot." he said. "But even though you are my only family left, I will not stoop myself to forget what I am. Like you did."

***************************************************************************

Bulma screamed untill her throat hurt and her mouth was dry. She needed to escape. She pounded on the door of the spacepod and nearly broke her fist. She sat back and looked at the numerous gears and levers. If she could find a way to open the pod or start it the she could get as far away from that long haired freak as possible.
Bulma looked at the writting on the walls. "Hiku aka onaji takasa. What the hell does that mean?" She looked around and saw it all had the same language all over it. For that big guy it would be a sinch to read it but for her it was like 5th period french class all over again.
"Ummmm," she reached out and placed a hand over a red lever. She closed her eyes tight and pulled it.
Nothing. Damn.
"What the hey." She reached over and started pulling and pressing buttons like mad untill she heard and soft humming sound. She smiled. I am such a genius, she thought. She peeked outside her window and saw that her craft was hovering six inches in the air.
Bulma sat back and took a few deep relaxing breaths. Ok, she had to be very carefull with whatever she did next. She could direct it to Kame House or to the middle of the universe.
She looked around for a steering wheel but only saw a panel with more writting on it.
"I get it," she said aloud. "You enter the quaordinants then the ship moves to that spot." She read the buttons. "Deru, higashi, shita, kita, minami, nishi, whatever." She closer her eyes and pressed a button. She felt the pod vibrate then zoom up the crater.
Little did she know that Goku, after distracting Raditz with her kamehameha, had captured then released Raditzs tail and Piccolos special attack had only scrapped his shoulder. At that very moment he was standing on her cheast about to blast her in to the next dimention.
"I wish it han'd had to end this way, sister." he said.
"Then why didn't you kill me back at Kame House?" Goku demanded.
"Because I don't want to hurt you!" he said shocking her. She thought he wanted her dead. But maybe he had no choice.
"SHIROOOMMMMM!!!"
Raditz turned to where he parked his pod. "What the-?"
"EEEEEKKKKKKKKK!" Bulma yelled at the pod flew straight up in the air then twisted to smach into a mountian.
Raditz looked on in suprise. How could that primitive female do that! That was his only ride home!
While he was looking at the rubble where his pod had crashed, Goku wiggled out from under his foot and grabbed his tail.
"How-?" Raditz said as her grip tightened.
"Piccolo! Now!" she shouted.
Raditz turned to see that Piccolos enery was once again being powered up and it was all being focused in his two fingers. His scounter beeped. Piccolos power was now over 1400!
"Special beam cannon!" Piccolo shouted aiming his fingers at both Raditz and Goku.
