Chapter 7: The Struggle with Raditz
In Sin Shenron's section of the world, he is talking to his second in command.

"So the fools defeated android 19 but 20 escaped. Is that correct." He asked.

"Yes sir."

"I think I have to have a talk with our fellow rulers. Assemble the others. Tell them to be here by tomorrow."

"It is as good as done." Said the second in command as he left the throne room.

"Android 20 had better not have given those fools any information. It doesn't really matter though because in the end, I will crush them all." Sin said to himself.

Back with the gang in their new concurred palace, they are putting together a plan of attack on the next section.

"I think I sense Raditz in the nearest section to us. He is weak so it will be simple to defeat him. I will go alone for this one while the rest of you head east where I think I sense Garlic Jr. I will assist you when I am done with Raditz." Said Vegeta.

"Okay, but are you sure you should go face Raditz alone. I bet he is much stronger now. In fact I think they are all much stronger now." Said Gohan.

"Yes, I'm sure I can handle Raditz alone. After all he can't even become a super saiyan." He replied with a chuckle.

"Just in case he learned some new tricks, I will go with you father." Said Trunks.

"Very well. We will move out at night fall so we can get the element of surprise." Said Vegeta as he left the room.

"Just in case something happens and we need help. I will send up a big blast into the sky. That can be our distress call." Said Trunks.

"Okay." They all replied.

On the Kibito Kai's planet, he Old Kai, Dende, and Mr. Popo are talking. Since Dende and Mr. Popo thought it was too dangerous to stay on earth for this battle, Kibito Kai let them stay with him and Old Kai.

"Do you think they have enough power to defeat every adversary they have ever faced." Asked Dende.

"I know they can." Replied Old Kai.

"I'm not so sure myself. I mean they are greatly outnumbered." Said Kibito Kai.

"This is true but remember Goku is with them." Said Old Kai.

"No he isn't. He went to train with Shenron." Said Dende.

"Oh yes. Now I remember. It was after he beat Omega Shenron. Well, now I think we have a problem. They still have Vegeta and he can become a super saiyan 4 as well." Said Old Kai.

"I think it is best if we try to contact Goku and tell him to come back." Said Mr. Popo.

"That is a good idea but we don't know where he is, so I can't just instant transmit myself to him. We need to know what planet he is on for that to work." Said Kibito Kai.

"There must be something we can do to help them. We cannot just sit here and watch." Said Dende.

That night both the good and the bad were preparing to move out. The good were going to Raditz and Garlic jr. The bad were going to the meeting with sin Shenron. As Vegeta and Trunks flew over towards Raditz's section, they were discussing their battle plan.

"Trunks, first we will maneuver our way through the city unseen just like we did before. Then we will make our way to the palace and barge in and just blast Raditz with our most powerful attacks and be done with him. Than we will make our way to Garlic Jr. and help the others defeat him." Said Vegeta.

"Got it dad."

Meanwhile the others were making there way to Garlic Jr. in his section. When they arrived they found no one in the palace but guards. (Know that the guards are not human. They are powerful demons.) They did not know that Garlic Jr. had left for the conference. They only knew he was gone. The guards had circled around them so the gang had to fight.

One demon charged at Goten but he easily dodged and countered with a kick that connected with the demons head. He finished it with a ki blast that incinerated it. Pan had turned into a super saiyan and was fighting eight guards at a time. She was getting annoyed so with her amazing speed, she kicked them all in the stomach and they all fell to the ground. More guards came rushing through the door and surprised Gohan. One of them blasted him but it did little damage. Gohan blasted the top of the door causing some of the guards under it to be crushed.

Bulla was having a little trouble with her first battle but she was fine. A demon tried to choke her but she kicked its stomach with her high heels causing it to let go. She turned around and fired a blast at it finishing it off.

"Wow, I'm pretty good at this," she said before attacking again.

Back with Vegeta and Trunks, the two made their way into the palace and killed a few guards. They gad better luck since Raditz was still in the palace. He was preparing to leave the throne room when Vegeta and Trunks came through the door.

"BIG BANG ATTACK." Yelled Vegeta.

"BURNING ATTACK." Yelled Trunks.

The two blasts collided with Raditz. When the smoke cleared an annoying laugh filled the room. Vegeta and Trunks were amazed that Raditz survived both of their best attacks.

"Is that all you've got you weaklings," he said laughing.

Before they could answer Raditz punched Trunks in the stomach then turned and kicked Vegeta in the head. Both saiyans were astounded at the force of his blows.

"As you can well see, I have done some training Vegeta. I take it this is you're son. I know because he is as weak as you." Said Raditz.

"How dare you insult my son." Vegeta cried as he flew towards Raditz.

Vegeta tried to punch Raditz but Raditz dodged and slapped Vegeta. Trunks tried to get behind Raditz for a surprise kick but he flew up and Trunks ended up hitting Vegeta.

"Come on you two, you should try harder. Am I to strong for the prince of saiyans and his weakling son." Taunted Raditz.

"Raditz, I dare you to insult my son one more time." Said Vegeta.

"Fine, I will. Is little baby Trunks to weak to fight or is he holding back his power. You are a mockery of the saiyan race. Why don't you run along and play with you're girlfriend or something." Said Raditz.

"That is it you fool. Now you die. I will show you true power." Vegeta cried as he went super saiyan and then level two.

"Oh no, I am so scared. Big bad Vegeta is a super saiyan 2. How will I ever defeat him." Said Raditz as he turned into a super saiyan and then level two and then level three.

"No, you can't be a super saiyan three." Said Vegeta as he backed away from Raditz.

Trunks powered up to his maximum and then charged Raditz. He through him a ki blast but Raditz just let it hit him. Then Vegeta through his own ki blast at him. When the smoke cleared Raditz was just standing there.

"Come on Vegeta. I though you and you're pathetic son were going to show me real power." Said Raditz.

"Do you want to see real power? Than I will show it to you." Cried Vegeta.

The saiyan prince started charging up to super saiyan 4. Raditz decided that he had let Vegeta power up for long enough.

"Bye bye birdie." Raditz said as he unleashed an enormous ki blast at Vegeta.

It hit Vegeta causing him to stop powering up. Raditz was mot going to let Vegeta beat him.

"You coward. You told me to show you true power but when I start powering up you stop me. What are you scared." Said Vegeta.

"You may call it fear Vegeta but I call it strategy. If the situation was reverse I bet you would try to stop me event though you probably wouldn't be able to." Said Raditz.

"Take this you freak. SUPER BURNING ATTACK." Cried Trunks.

"Take this you fool. This is my newest technique. MEGA FLAME SHOOTER." Cried Raditz as he unleashed his signature move.

Raditz's beam was a monstrous red ki blast. It completely engulfed Trunks' attack and hit Trunks. With his last bit of energy he fired a ki blast into the sky. The others saw it and got the message and left their battle and went to help.

"Come on guys. Trunks and Vegeta need our help." Said Gohan.

With that they flew off but it took awhile to get to the battlefield. While they were still flying to help Raditz was destroying Vegeta and Trunks.

"I guess I was right about you two, you are incredible weaklings. I expected better from a saiyan of royalty. I guess I will just kill you now. MEGA FLAME SHOO..."

Raditz was interrupted by a blast that hit him in the back. He turned around and saw the rest of the gang.

"Is he a super saiyan 3?" asked Pan.

"That is correct little girl." He replied.

"Get ready to die." Said Goten.

"As much as I want to die I have a place to be right now so I guess I will see you later. Bye, it has been fun." Said Raditz as he flew away.

"Trunks and Vegeta, are you okay. Here, take a senzu bean." Said Pan.

"Thanks Pan. That was a tough battle." Said Trunks.

"Hey Vegeta, why didn't you become a super saiyan 4 and beat Raditz?" asked Gohan.

"Raditz did not allow me the time to power up. I cannot believe that low level saiyan defeated me. He is almost as bad as Kakorat. I wonder where Raditz had to go though." Said Vegeta.

"Maybe we should try to get some sleep and then come up with another plan of attack tomorrow." Said Gohan.

"Before we get some sleep tell me, how was you're battle with Garlic Jr. Did you win?" asked Trunks.

"Actually, he wasn't there when we arrived. There were only a lot of guards. Maybe he went to the same place as Raditz. Maybe they both went to a meeting of all the bad guys to discuss how to defeat us." Said Goten.

"Yes that must be it. That means that all the sections are empty now. They most likely went to Sin Shenron's section. Tomorrow we will check some other sections. If they are empty our theory is correct. Now we can get some sleep." Said Vegeta.
