Last time:

Bulma stared at Goku and Raditz in wonder as they flew towards the horizon. "Should I go help him," puzzled Bulma, as she began wringing her hands nervously. "I know that he isn't strong enough to win, but if I help, I'd reveal my true power," thought Bulma.

Bulma shook her head, and flew quickly behind Goku and Raditz, making her Ki almost non-existent. Bulma stared at Goku and Raditz in wonder as they flew towards the horizon.

Bulma shook her head, and flew quickly behind Goku and Raditz, making her Ki almost non-existent.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They sped over towering mountains, sparkling lakes, until they reached their destination. A large ditch surrounded by gigantic boulders; that seemed to be the perfect hiding place for a space pod.

Goku and Raditz glared at each other with venomous hatred. Sudden something like a smile graced Raditz lips, however it wasn't so friendly.

"Well Kakorott, I guess it'll be up to me to show you what Sayians do to traitors," smirked Raditz evilly, as he launched himself towards Goku.

"Well, this is it," thought Bulma anxiously, as she observed the battle before her. "Come on Goku, you could do it!" she mentally cheered, "Show that creep what you're made of!"

Goku was swinging, punch after punch missing Raditz by a mile. "He's just too strong," thought Goku, after receiving a hard punch in the stomach, which caused him to cough up blood. "I won't fail, if I do, Gohan would be gone," concluded Goku mentally, as he powered up for another round.

Sudden he felt a strong Ki flying towards them, and strangely enough it felt like Piccolo. Raditz's scouter also began beeping indicating that another warrior had arrived.

"So what do we have here?" he asked savagely, as he tossed his long mane behind his shoulders. "I never thought you earthlings were so eager to die."

Piccolo's eyes narrowed and began to growl menacingly. "What makes you think that you're actually stronger then me?"

Raditz chuckled lightly. "These earthlings are so stupid. Do they actually think that they could defeat me in battle?" he thought casually as he arched an eyebrow in amusement.

"Well, then why don't you come and find out," taunted Raditz. "After all, I'm sure you're both so much stronger," he said, giving them both a mock bow.

Goku and Piccolo glanced at each other before charging head on at Raditz. Raditz ducked each blow casually while return a few punches here and there. After a few hours, Raditz hadn't even received a scratch; while on the other hand, Goku and Piccolo were soaked in blood and covered with bruises.

"Even our combined power in useless," muttered Goku, as he tried desperately to come up with a plan. His eyes lit up with excitement when he saw his brother's tail swinging back and forth.

Goku surged forward as fast as he could and grabbed hold of Raditz's tail. Raditz screamed in pain, as Goku began to squeeze his tail mercilessly. "Don't forget brother, I use to have a tail too. I remembered what it felt like to have it grabbed," said Goku as he stared at his brother with a bit of pity.

"Kakorott, you have to understand," gasped Raditz as he withered on the floor in pain. "Please let go of me, I won't hurt you or your brat again," promised Raditz slyly.

Goku looked puzzled for a moment, and then he looked at his brother who was on the floor grunting in pain. "Fine," he decided hesitantly, as he let go of his tail.

"No don't let go!" yelled Piccolo and Bulma together. Bulma had enough with waiting, it was hot and uncomfortable and she didn't plan on hiding behind a rock for another few hours. "That's enough!" she snapped as she stood up to her full height.

The three speculators looked at her in shock, they had no idea that she was even here.

Goku was the first to recover. "Bulma you shouldn't be here, it isn't safe," he said anxiously. "I want you to go back to the island, you'll be safe there."

Bulma narrowed her eyes angrily. "So they didn't think that I could protect herself did they? Well I'll show them!" she said bristling mentally.

She turned around and faced Raditz, "You're a weakling, you shouldn't even be considered a fighter," she taunted, as she causally fell into a fighting stance. "Even Goku is a better fighter then you."

Raditz's vein began twitching. "She has some nerve! Insulting me of all people! I'll teach her a lesson she'd never forget," thought Raditz furiously, as he gathered up a Ki ball and shot it right towards Bulma.

"No Bulma!" yelled Goku as he saw in slow motion as the Ki ball flew towards her. He knew that he wouldn't reach the Ki ball in time to block it. Bulma was doomed, his first friend was going to die, and it was his entire fault.

Bulma looked at the Ki ball calmly, raised her right hand and slapped the Ki ball away like as if it had been nothing but a beach ball.

Raditz and Goku's jaw dropped in shock and amazement. "Bulma knows how to fight?" thought Goku looking thunderstruck. On the other hand Raditz was seething in fury. "How in the world did she block my blast, she's only a girl, and a mere earthling to top it off," he thought angrily.

"You'll pay for the wench!" screeched Raditz in fury, as he sent thousands of Ki blasts towards Bulma. Soon all that was to be seen was a cloud of dust. "There's no way she could have survived that," said Raditz causally, as he wiped the sweat off his face. A voice chuckled in amusement above him.

"I could block attacks far stronger then that when I was only a kid," said Bulma arching her delicate eyebrows in amusement. "I've had enough of fooling around," said Bulma as her expression turned serious. "It's time to end things now."

Raditz cowered in fear, all his life he had never met anyone as strong or scary as the onna that stood before him. Truth be told the onna actually reminded him of the prince.

"I'm sorry," muttered Bulma. "But you leave me no other choice," she said as she powered up and sent a thunderous blast through his stomach.

As Raditz lay dying on the ground he whispered, "There are others like me brother, they'll be coming to earth sooner then you think. Prepare yourself, and don't die on me," he said as a dying smile graced his lips. Then came the death rattle, finally he was gone.

Goku and Piccolo looked at her in shock. She had defeated their enemy with one hit, and they couldn't even land a blow on him. Goku glanced down at his brother sorrowfully, "It's a pity we can't wish him back with the dragonballs," he muttered not noticing the light that was still beeping on the scouter.

Bulma and the rest of the Z gang stood there mourning and wishing their cruel adversary another chance in life, in heaven.

Bulma looked at Goku and Piccolo nervously, "What are they going to say to me? I've kept this secret from them for such a long time," she said with worried eyes.

Meanwhile on Frieza's ship:

Vegeta stared at the scouter in shock. "So the legend was true," he muttered to himself as he pulled on his boots.

A cruel and demonic look lit his eyes. "All I have to do is wish for immortality, and then Frieza would be doomed," he chuckled evilly. "There's no way he could defeat me, if I can't die," he thought feverishly.

Vegeta looked out of towards the dark universe, in the direction of earth. "You'll be mine soon enough."
