"Special Beam Cannon!"
An orange ki blast flew towards Goku as he held his brother in place. Radditz squirmed and struggled, but the young half-breed hurt him more than he had thought. Radditz tried desperately to escape. Goku's grip weakened, he too was injured badly.
"I...can't hold him any longer!" Goku cried, as Radditz broke free.
The blast hit Goku dead on and missed Radditz completely. Goku collapsed blood splattering all over the ground. Piccolo dropped to the grass, cursing as he fell. Radditz laughed triumphantly and walked towards the dying Namek.
"Well well Namek, it looks as though your plan has failed."
He kicked Piccolo in the side, teasing him for what was to come.
"Now is your time to die. You were a semi-worthy opponent."
Piccolo tried to get to his feet, but a small line of energy cut straight through his body. He fell back to the ground blood oozing from his mouth.
Atop the lookout Mr. Popo watched in horror as his beloved Kami faded from the earth. One by one the dragon balls turned to stone. Radditz smiled and looked back at the young half- saiyan, sleeping peacefully. Radditz picked him up and contacted Vegeta through his scouter.
"Have you screwed up badly this time Radditz?" Vegeta mocked him.
"Can it Vegeta. My brother was unwilling to join us so I had to dispose of him. This planet has no more power levels worth any concern, you can send the others to colonize."
"Well well, you've succeeded for once. Maybe Frieza won't kill you after all." Vegeta laughed.
"Just shut up and send me a ship. Mine's busted."
"Huh? Couldn't even save your own ship? Frieza won't be pleased. You've broken several just this month." Vegeta sneered. "I'll send a ship, but you'll have to wait, it will be of a lower class."
Vegeta clicked off, and a soft buzzing sound came from the scouter.
"Stupid Vegeta. So proud just because he's the prince of a dead planet. I guess I'll stay at some human house until it arrives.

Gohan woke up surrounded by tubes and creatures observing him with clipboards. He was swimming in some kind of blue water, and hooked up to all sorts of contraptions. Scared, and unsure of where he was, Gohan began to cry. Sirens and alarms went off and a tube came down and covered his mouth. At first he cried into the tube, but slowly he began to drift back into a calm sleep.
~ Again he awoke unsure of his surroundings. Many eyes watched him. He recognized Radditz and stared wide-eyed at him.
"Radditz? Why have you brought this earth child here? Surely you don't think we need to study this race before we take over?" A man with purple skin said.
"Of course we don't Zarbon. But this boy is half saiyan. He has my family blood running through his veins." Radditz replied.
Everyone was shocked with this little bit of news. They stared at the small child who was staring wide-eyed and frightened.
"So he has some saiyan blood in him? He is still just a half-breed, there's no way he could ever become more than a low class warrior. He is, after all, from your blood line Radditz, we can't expect too much now can we." Vegeta laughed.
"If you weren't protected by Frieza you would be long gone by now!" Radditz argued.
"I don't see why Frieza keeps you around. It was your father who tried to kill him...was it not?" Vegeta commented.
"My father was a fool! He is not worthy of the Saiyan name!" Radditz acknowledged.
"Come now you two. Why can't we all just get along?"
The two Saiyans and the bystanders turned to the doorway and bowed as Frieza entered the room.
"I apologize Lord Frieza. We should not make a mockery of our name in the presence of others." Radditz asked for forgiveness.
"Oh stop sucking up Radditz. Nothing you say will convince me you are of any worth." Frieza stated. "Now where is this half-breed child that is causing such commotion?"
They opened a path for Frieza to see the young half ling. He walked slow and stern, never looking aside at his followers. As he approached him, Gohan looked up from his containment cell and stared Frieza straight in the eye. Frieza stared back. This allowed Frieza to sort of read the potential hidden in the boy's body. Frieza jumped a little and turned away quickly. Everyone stared at him waiting for his decision.
"Vegeta. I want this boy in the most intense training course we have. This half ling may prove to be stronger and capable of much more than we think." Frieza declared.
Frieza exited the room, leaving stunned faces behind him.
"I become one of the elite Saiyan warriors, and I'm the one who gets stuck training a baby." Vegeta bickered.
Vegeta went over to the control panel located to the left of Gohan's containment cell. After pushing a few buttons the water drained and the multiple contraptions released themselves from him. Gohan breathed heavily, scared but somehow, fully restored and refreshed. Vegeta walked in front of him. He pushed another button and the lid to the cell opened.
"Now boy. Can you speak?" Vegeta asked.
"Where's daddy?" Gohan asked worriedly.
"Daddy's not coming back. Your daddy's gone. You live with us now. How old are you? 2?"
"Four and a half."
Vegeta sighed and a large bald man slapped Vegeta on the back, laughing as he left the room. Vegeta turned to face him.
"You better watch your self Nappa."
"Who are you?" Gohan asked innocently.
"I'm going to seem like your worst nightmare for this next decade."
