Much thanks to all the reviewers ^^
Maria S, I saw your drawings and they're really great. You got some talent! They were some of the best Raditz pics I've seen. If you want to make a drawing of my fic, I'd say, go ahead, plz! I'm looking forward to see it.

The gong went. Goku had won his match against Guilan by miraculously regaining his tail and showing what he was really made of. (A/N: I know, this isn't where the last chapter ended, but I'm gonna start this chapter from an other point of view)
Bulma, Puar, Jade and Oolong cheered loudly along with the crowd.
"Man, Goku really has become strong..." "Yeah!" answered Puar on Bulma's remark. "Incredible..." commented Oolong.
They continued talking some while the next fighters appeared.
"Yeah and..... hey Jade, is there something wrong? You're so quiet...." Bulma looked a bit worried to her best friend. Jade looked to her. "Huh? ... You said something?"
"Yes, I did..." Bulma looked to where Jade had been staring previously, the two people that stood in the arena. A tall and muscular young man with wild black hair swept behind him and wearing a strange kind of armour, facing an older white-haired person, clad in a black kimono.
The fight had begun and Jade was staring dreamily ahead of her again. Mesmerized, she followed the fast, but so strangely graceful movements of the youth as he fought. She had the feeling this fight was already over before it had begun, the old man was totally outmatched.
"He sure knows how to fight, huh...." whispered Bulma to Jade. She nodded absently "Uh-huh......" Bulma looked to Jade again and smirked like a little girl. "You're in love, aren't you..." She said teasingly.
"No, I'm not!" replied Jade immediately, but there was a cheery tone in her voice and her face blushed. Bulma looked back to the fighting scene. "But I have to admit he is quite handsome indeed." chuckled the blue-haired girl.
"Hey Bulma!" huffed Puar, "You have to stick up for your boyfriend you know!" "Er.... yeah, yeah, Puar... yeah.... hum...."
"Yes, mother." whispered Jade softly to Bulma so Puar couldn't hear. Bulma replied with a giggle.
In the meanwhile, the fight raged on.
Suddenly, Bulma's jaw fell open. "Oh my god! It can't be!!!" Jade was surprised as well to see the weird furry appendage the young warrior proved to have, but she wondered what Bulma seemed to find so impossible about it. That child Goku had it too, didn't he?
"What's wrong?..." "Don't you see??? He's got a tail too!!!" "Yeah.... that's a bit strange.... so?" "... Well.. actually.... maybe he's related to Goku!
I've never seen any other human with a monkey tail. You see, Goku was abandoned by his parents when he was very young and found by his 'Grandfather'." "Oh I see... how sad for him....."
Bulma nodded. The crowd awed and cheered again.
"RADITZ WINS THE MATCH!!!"
"Come on Jade, we'll pay Raditz a little visit!" "But... we're not allowed to....." "Ah, shoo, they should try and stop the almighty Bulma!" Jade laughed and ran after her friend.
Oolong and Puar watched them make their way towards the tournament building (A/N: I got no idea how that building/room thingy is called, so I'll call it somewhat like that) sweat-dropping.
The guard stepped in front of her when Bulma just wanted to run through the door to the waiting room, but bumped into the tall guy instead. "Hey! Watch it, baka!" She yelled as she hit the ground hard on her butt. Jade quickly helped her back up.
"You aren't allowed to come into the ..." "I know that, but I don't care! This is rather important!!!" "Oh yes? What then?"
"Damn he doesn't fall for it...." Bulma thought.
Raditz raised an eyebrow and looked over to what the fuss at the entrance door was about.
"We really have to go inside, mister!" "And for what reason?" "We have to see someone!"
"Who?" Bulma was getting really annoyed at that point "RADITZ!" "Nope, you're not getting through." Bulma and Jade both sighed even more annoyed.
"Did I hear someone call my name?" The two girls looked up seeing that the young fighter had appeared next to the guard. Jade blushed while Bulma shoved the guard aside and stepped to Raditz. "Yes, we would like to talk to you."
The guard didn't give up that fast though. "You are not allowed in here!" The girls glared dangerously to the guard.
Raditz chuckled watching them. "Let them, baka....why the hell shouldn't they be able to come in here...." "But if we would allow everyone to...."
"Everyone isn't trying to get in here, right? Just these two girls, so shut up."
Jade smiled, she started to like the strange youth even more; while Bulma grinned triumphantly to the guard, who totally didn't want to start a fight with Raditz, after seeing him fight twice, as she walked past him. Jade followed her quickly.
"Why do you two want to see me so desperately?" "You see, I think you know some stuff we would like to know...."
In the background the sound of Goku fighting Nam was heard.
"Well, what could be so interesting then...." Bulma and Jade sat down in the couch while Raditz leaned with his shoulder against the wall, looking to them.
"Do you know Goku?" Bulma asked. "Goku?....." Raditz looked to the arena. "So that's how they called Kakarotto, huh... I heard the name now a few times, thought it was him, but I wasn't sure."
"Kakarotto????" "So you do know him?" said Jade. Raditz nodded. Bulma smiled bright: "Really!??? Wow! I mean ... well, Goku's gonna be so happy! Although he never mentioned or showed it, I bet he was always curious about his parents or where he's from....."
Raditz looked away again. "Probably...." Bulma opened her mouth to ask the burning question with the thought 'now we're gonna know it!' when suddenly.....
"GOKU WINS THE MATCH!!!! Now's the moment we're all waiting for!!!!! THE FINAL MATCH!!!!!!!!!! Who's the strongest fighter of the world!!!???? GOKU OR RADITZ!!!!!?????????"
Raditz stood up. "Sorry, girls, it's my time now. We'll talk after the match." Bulma cursed under her breath watching Raditz go to the arena.
Raditz walked down the stairs and onto the arena. He turned and faced Goku. The fighting arena was merely lit by the setting sun and twilight started, casting a purple-red hue over the land.
Goku looked up to his opponent. He immediately had the feeling this was gonna be a fight like he had never experienced before, though he felt no fear at all.
Raditz noticed and smirked. Of course, a true Saiyan never fears a battle, but just gets more eager, no matter how strong the adversary is.
And as if on cue, the two fighters shot towards each other. They clashed in the middle of the arena and exchanged kicks and punches. Goku let himself fall flat on the ground to dodge Raditz's spin kick and lashed his tail around his ankle, pulling hard and letting Raditz fall back.
Goku quickly leaped up to do a follow-up attack, but blinked noticing that Raditz didn't even hit the ground, but had disappeared. He looked up and his eyes widened even more, as Raditz floated above him.
His doubled fists came down quickly on Goku's head. Goku yelled in pain and hit the ground hard. He jumped back to his feet and growled looking back up to Raditz, who was still floating in the air, his arms crossed and awaiting his opponent.
Goku leaped up again, but only to meet Raditz's foot in his face. They both jumped down and landed.
"He's strong.... but there must be a way I can beat him..." thought Goku "But how......"
He didn't have time to continue his thinking as Raditz suddenly dashed forward. Raditz kicked off on the ground just before running into Goku and went into the air again.
Bolt-like energy gathered in Raditz's drawn back hand. Goku watched not knowing what he was doing. Roshi, who was watching the fight from the side gasped. He had the ability to sense ki, and felt Raditz's go up rapidly.
Raditz quickly brought his hands down, palms facing Goku, a shining white ball gathered and blast fired.
"GOKU!!! DODGE THAT BEAM!!!!!!" yelled Roshi on the top of his lungs.
Goku broke loose from his confusion and quickly threw himself aside as the blast hit on the spot where he just had been, the crowd who stood on that side of the arena had run for their lives; and a large crater was formed.
Goku kicked off on the wall of the tournament building and launched himself to Raditz. Raditz countered the attack by grabbing Goku in the throat.
Goku gasped, looked automatically up and flinched..... his eyes turned fully white and his body started to shudder.
"What the...." yelled Raditz. Instinctively he looked up as well... to see the full moon.....
