Raditz was leaning back against the wall in the room of the main building, just after the arena. It was the waiting room for the participants of the finals.
He looked over to the only other person in the room, the others seemed to be a bit late... It was an older man, with a white moustache, beard and hair.
"How did that old geezer got into the finals..." the young Saiyan thought "and I wish he stopped staring at me like that.. there's something weird about that guy.. hmpf, he seems interested in my 'belt'.. nah, where would he have seen a saiyan tail before..."
Raditz rolled his eyes and looked to the entrance door, where finally the other finalists where coming through. The warrior's eyes widened suddenly, seeing the last person, a young cheerful kid with black hair which was standing in every possible direction. "WHAT THE...... Bardock???... no, impossible.. yes, it's Kakarotto!.. He seems the perfect copy of our father, he probably will when he's grown up...."
Raditz looked to Goku closely. He smirked a bit "Oh yes, I recognise you, you little Kakarotto...
~FLASHBACK~
A 5 year-old Raditz was sitting at the kitchen table of their apartment. Bardock just had trained his son and decided to stop for today and take a light snack.
He put the food down on the table when suddenly the phone rang. Bardock walked back into the living room and answered the call. Raditz couldn't care less and started eating, it was probably some officer that wanted his dad for some or another mission.
Bardock returned, looked to the kid and snarled "Get up, brat, and get some proper clothing, we're going out..." "But...." After a glare from his father, Raditz got up and walked to his room, muttering something incomprehensible. He changed his training suit for something warmer, got his jacket and ran back to the door where his father was waiting.
"Where are we actually going?" "To your mother in the infirmary..." About 15 minutes later, the two were walking through the long white corridors of the city's hospital. They entered some room where Raditz's mother was. Bardock walked over and sat down on the bed of his wife and they talked to each other.
Raditz looked around the room noticing the small bed standing there. He raised an eyebrow and walked to it. He looked over the end of the bed seeing a little baby lying deep in the bed's warm sheets.
Raditz heard his mother laugh and looked to her "So you found your little brother Kakarotto, Raditz..."
Raditz turned back to the bed and was pushed aside by a nurse who suddenly had entered, walked over and took the little Kakarotto from the bed. She muttered something of time for the baby to feed, but was interrupted by Kakarotto, who promptly started crying at the top of his lungs.
The nurse sighed, it seemed like it wasn't the first time she had to feed Kakarotto, couldn't take the assault to her ears anymore and pushed the small kid into Raditz's arms. Kakarotto suddenly stopped crying, looked relaxed and fell asleep again, curling up in his big brother's hold.
The nurse blinked "Well, I'll be damned.... oh well, kid, then you feed the lil menace."
~END FLASHBACK~
"Raditz....?" Raditz looked up on hearing his name. While Raditz was lost in thoughts, the tournament announcer had called off the people's names, they had to pull out a number from a box, which determined which fight they were gonna be in, and against who it was gonna be.
He stalked over to the person holding the box, reached down and took a small card out. A weird sign was standing on it... Raditz could only read saiyan language.
"Your number is...?..." the announcer asked impatiently. "Err......" "What? You can't read???" Raditz looked a bit sheepishly and flashed the card to the announcer. "Number 1. Fight one, against Krillin." Krillin swallowed slightly. "Man, that guy looks tough..." He arched a brow as Goku didn't answer him, but just continued to stare to Krillin's opponent.
"Goku!?" "Hm, what?" "Something wrong?" "Nah... just... there's something weird about that person...."
"Apart from the special hair style and the weird belt?" Goku only slowly nodded. "There is something eerie familiar about him... even his scent... but I never met him before."
"Weird... oh well, maybe it's nothing." "It's something, Krillin, but I just can't say what yet..."
Then suddenly the announcer's voice beamed from the loudspeakers: "Welcome to this year's TENKAICHI BUDOKAI!!! The eight finalists are going to fight to see who's the best fighter in the world!!!
We start with the first fight: KRILLIN VS RADITZ!!!!" The crowd cheered while Raditz and Krillin walked onto the arena and stood facing each other. Raditz smirked while Krillin looked a bit nervous, seeing the huge crowd of people.
"FIGHT!!!" the loudspeaker screamed, the same moment, both fighters jumped in a fighting stance. Krillin grinned confidently and dashed forward taking his chance.
He punched, but hit nothing but air. He blinked seeing what he hit was just an image, while the real Raditz reappeared behind him slamming his hand down into Krillin's back. Krillin gasped in pain hitting the ground hard.
He got slowly up clenching his teeth. He gasped again as he looked against an armoured stomach. Krillin swallowed and looked up to see Raditz's face, with it's cruel smirk still on it.
He couldn't even blink when the Saiyan's arm met the side of his face hard. Krillin was send flying, broke through the wall and hit the ground in the room behind the arena. The other participants looked wide-eyed to the young warrior lying there. The announcer and the crowd were deadly quiet.
Raditz glared to the announcer and at last, the guy remembered that he indeed was the announcer and yelled "RADITZ WON THE FIRST MATCH!!!!"
