CHAPTER FOUR:TRAINING
Goku jumped down the pole and stood in front of Raditz. "Hi. Glad you could make it. Have a nice trip?"
Raditz looked around. There was a small house and a car but nothing else. He turned back to her. "Not really. I had to have a cavity serch back at customs. Why did you bring me here?"
King Ki came out then. "You must be Raditz. The sayjin. You know I've had my share of good warriors come through this dimention because of you."
Raditz griined. "I'll take that as a compliment."
Goku grabed his arm. "King Ki, how about you get lunch ready while I talk to Raditz." She didn't wait for and answer, just dragged him to the other side of the planet.
"So what's up Kakarot?" Raditz asked. "Want to show me how good you've got it and how bad I am off?"
"No." Goku said. "I've been through alot of training. I plan on going back to life in 30 days and stopping your partners."
Raditz stared at her. She was serious. "You won't last long against either of them. Let alone them both!"
"Then help me!" she said. She didn't mean to say it but the words flew out. "They are going to kill my friends and my sensei."
"They are humans!" Raditz said. "You are not even the same race. You shouldn't give your life again over them. You should have joined us. Joined me. We are family." He placed his hands on her shoulders.
She shook her head. "They are the people who were there for me. That makes them my family in my book." Raditz looked at her and his grip tightened.
"You will die at Vegeta and Nappas hands."
"Are you worried?" she asked.
He paused. "Yes. You are my sister. And I wanted nothing more then for us to fight side by side one day."
"That can still happen." she said. "On the side of good. Look,I need a sparing partner while I'm here. Help me while I am here and you don't have to go back to the H.F.I.L. Deal?"
He paused wondering if she was really serious. Raditz grabed her tiny hand in his larger one. "Deal."
"Lunch is ready!!" King Ki yelled.
"Come on," Goku smiled. "He isn't the best cook but I bet it's better then what they make down there."
Raditz watched after her as she ran off. He had known what it was like to be wanted. But he never knew what it was like to feel needed.
"We only got a few weeks left." Chichi said to Yanjarobi. "All you've done is sit on your fat bottem and eat most of the food! We are supposed to be training to save the Earth here! Not free loading!"
"Lay off." Yanjarobi said. "I've been training. Just not the way you all do. All that kicking and hitting gives me a tummy ache. Don't get your panties in a bunch."
"You'll pay for that!" she shouted raising her fist. She would have hit him too, if Krillen and Yamcha hadn't jumped up to hold her back. "Let me go!"
"Chill Chichi." Yamcha said. "We need to focus on our own training. You don't have to be such a control freak."
She turned and glared a look at him that could have given a polar bear frost bite. Chichi shoved them out of her way and walked across the lot.
"Man is she up tight." Krillen comented. "Goku being dead and all must have really effected her."
"It's been hard on all of us." Tien said flying down. "But we all have to work together to win this one."
Yamcha gritted his teeth. "I wish I could have been there when Raditz came."
"I'm not sure you would have helped much." Krillen said. "This guy tossed Piccolo around like a rag doll. I'm glad I'll never have to see him again."
"Can't catch me!" Goku laughed as she jumped over Raditz and kicked him from behind.
"That's because you won't stand still." Raditz growled. He swung around and landed a hard punch in her jaw. She stummbled back but then came right at him with an upper cut of her own.
King Ki, Bubbles and Gregory could only look on in amazement as the two sayjins battled. King Ki was suprised that Raditz too was advancing. At first he was worried, but then he saw how happy Goku was. He prayed that with her brothers aid in training she would be strong enough.
Raditz roared as he lifted Goku over his head and tossed her aside. Goku jumped back up and tackled him head on. Literaly. Raditz fell back and she jump kicked him while he was distracted.
"You've mannaged to get alot stronger then the last time we faught." he said. "I can tell that, even without a scounter."
"So have you." Goku smiled. "Say Raditz, do the other two sayjins have to use scounters too?"
"Yes." he nodded. "But do not underestimate them. They are Nappa and Prince Vegeta. The strongest two sayjins in the universe. Even before our home world was destroyed."
"How did you meet them?" she asked.
Raditz glanced away wondering how much he should tell her. "I was only eleven and was off on a training mission on the planet Hickok. When I finnished I got in my pod and flew back to the planet. But nothing was there but dust. I hailed a base and was sent there. They put me with Nappa and Vegeta, who was still a kid back then. We faught together and worked hard to keep our pride even though we were treated like jokes. Called us monkeys and dumb apes. We swore we'd have revenge for-. Never mind."
Goku turned her head to the side. She was about to pry more when King Ki yelled to them.
"Soup's on!"
"Heres to finding all the balls!" Bulma said raising her glass.
"I'll drink to that." Roshi said gulping down a beer. In front of them sat the seven yellow dragonballs. All the needed to do was summon the dragon and wish goku back to life. She come back, save the day and they'd all live happily ever after. They hoped.
"So when should we call the dragon? I mean now is good right?" Oolong asked.
"No." Puar squeeked. "Kami said she was receiving special training in the next dimention."
"And she'll need ever second she can get." Bulma said sipping from her glass.
"But now that we got them all." Roshi said proudly. "We can sit back and relax."
Bulma smiled and raised her glass. "I'll drink to that."
"OW! CHICHI!" Krillen yelled as he got up. Chichi stood a few feet away just smiling at his fallen friend.
"Hey don't blame me." Chichi said. "You should have had that one."
Krillen dusted off his shirt that was still smokeing from the energy blast. He stared angrily at his black haired friend. He then took a sparring stance.
"Want some more, eh?" Chichi said croutching down low in her own stance. The tension between the two was immence. One could almost feel the energy raidiating off of them.
The two cashed together with a blur of fists. They blocked and hit and dodged and tackled. The pair was so into their battle that they didn't see the large yellow beam hit them. The two fell apart on other sides of Kamis lookout.
The tall long haired fighter walked up. Yamcha grinned. "Need to be quick on your toes, slakers." He turned away and walked off laughing.
Chichi scowled and tossed a low energy blast at his back.
"Yeowch!" Yamcha said reching back to rub the sore spot. He twisted around and glared at Chichi.
"Need to be quick on your toes, pretty boy." she laughed.
"What!" Goku shouted as King Ki stared evenly at her. She had been training for weeks with her brother and both had mastered the art of the kaioken technique. But only Goku had learned the spirit bomb.
"I'm afraid it's true." King Ki said. "The speed the sayjins are comming at they will arrive at Earth one day before you. We must tell your friends to go ahead and wish you back to life right away."
"Right." Goku nodded.
"You can communicate telepathicly with them through me." King Ki said. "Kind of a mental phone call."
"Okey." she said. She reached out to touch King Ki then stopped. She looked over at Raditz. He was looking at her oddly. She held out her hand. "I guess this is good-bye."
Raditz looked at her hand and smiled. "I know." He clasped her hand. "I wish I could help you out but seeing how I'm dead and all."
Goku smiled and turned back to King Ki. "I'm ready."
Bulma and Oolong were at each others throats again. He had sneeked in the bathroom after she had showered and was trying to get her underwear again.
"You pig! How dare you!" she shouted hitting him with a bar of soap. he ducked and ran out to the living room.
"Of course I'm a pig. What did you expect?" he said.
Roshi walked in and dodged flying objects. "What's going on here?"
~Hey Master Roshi. Long time no see.~
"Goku!?"
Bulma halted her tantrum and looked at Roshi. "Oh, no he's lost it."
"Shush! I'm talking to Goku." Roshi said waving at her. "What is it Goku?"
~Roshi listen up. The sayjins will be there sooner then we originaly thought. I need you to wish me back to life right away.~
"Goku says that the sayjins will be here a day sooner and we need to wish her back now." Roshi informed Bulma.
"How does she know?" Bulma asked.
~King Ki told me.~
"King Ki told her." Master Roshi said.
"Who is King Ki?" Oolong asked admireing Bulmas stolen panties. She reached down and snatched then out of his grasp.
~Please Master Roshi. These guys are going to be tough. Raditz has been telling me bad things about them.~
"RADITZ!" Roshi exclaimed.
"Raditz?" Bulma said aloud. "King Ki is Raditz?"
Oolong and Roshi glared at her. "Dumb broad."
~Raditz has been helping me up here in the next dimention. He really isn't that bad once you get to know him. Hey! How about you wish us both back?~
Raditz and King Ki looked at Goku. Raditz wondered if he was hearing things.
"Are you sure of that?" King Ki asked.
"Yeah," she smiled looking at Raditz. "That is if you want to help us stop the other sayjins. You know their moves more then anyone."
Raditz stood still shocked at them. Nappa was a jerk and Vegeta was as arrogant as they come but they were still his companions. Vegeta was his prince even. How could he betray them?
Goku say Raditzs inner struggle and let go of King Kis shoulder, momentaraly breaking the connection. She walked over the few feet and stood face to face with him. "Raditz," she said. "you told me that you wanted us to fight together. We can defeat them if we work together. They are going to kill my friends.
"My duty is to my prince." he said simply.
"I know that. But he is going to kill my friends. You can have a second chance and help us. We can be the family we both always wanted. Please, brother."
Raditz let out a long breath. "Let's do it sister."
Goku jumped in the air punching her fist. "Woohoo!" She slapped her hand in King Kis back hard. "Master Roshi, Raditz is going to help us. Wish us BOTH back!"
"WHAT! WISH RADITZ BACK!" Roshi shouted.
Bulma nearly fell over. "That maniac? He nearly killed us all, he did kill Goku."
"Technicaly Piccolo did." Oolong said.
"Who asked you?" Bulma shouted glaring at him.
Roshi seemed to nod and smile. "We'll do it Goku. That is if you are sure."
~You bet I am. He really is a nice guy once you get to know him. See ya soon!~
Roshi sighed and gazed at his feet. Goku, he thought, are you really sure of are you being blinded by your emotions? "I told her we will do it." He walked over and picked up the stack of dragonballs and took them outside. "And no arguements. This is what she wanted. Goku has always had a reason for doing what she does, even if it sounds crazy."
More Soon okey? Please tell me what you think and review!
Goku jumped down the pole and stood in front of Raditz. "Hi. Glad you could make it. Have a nice trip?"
