I know that the first chapter seemed to move through time a
weeeeeeeeeeee bit too fast, but I figured that I should since 'so' much
happens in those years. Yes I have Gohan knowing how to speak saiya-jin,
which is really just the transliteration of another language (I couldn't
think up my own).The explanation of how is later in the chapter. If you
want a translation, look at the end of the chapters.

Don't play stupid with me; I'm better at it.
Chapter 1
"I would never kill any innocent people. I live to defend them." Goku stated.
"Are you crazy!?!?" Krillin exclaimed. "That's impossible, even for someone like Goku."
"Any saiyan baby could easily do that," Raditz proclaimed. "Kakarott is just a weakling."
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! I am not weak. And I'll fight you to prove it!"
"Well I'll be, Kakarott does have some saiyan pride. However, a fight with you would be pointless. I would easily cream you. Seeing as you refuse to destroy these pathetic weaklings, I'll just do it for you." With that said he raised his right hand and began gathering energy into it. When he felt it had sufficient enough energy, he aimed it in a random direction and fired.
Everyone watched helplessly as the blast streaked towards the mainland and exploded. Those that could felt over 200 energy signals disappear. When they looked back, they realized that Raditz was nowhere to be found and neither was Gohan.
"GOHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!" they called hoping he had just run inside scared or something. When they finally decided to feel for him, they felt his energy moving rapidly away from them with Raditz.
"I have to go get my son back. I'll see you guys later." Goku said.
"Don't waist your time," a new voice growled. "I already fought him and he defeated me easily. I also know that you're not that much stronger than me. As much as I'd rather not, I have no option but to team up with you to defeat that saiyan."
All heads turned to see the green skinned namekian land in the sand several feet away wearing his usual gi, cape and turban.
"I'm glad your going to help, Piccolo. I have a feeling that I won't be able to beat Raditz on my own. I also will need some help getting my son back. I really don't want to try to explain to Chichi what happened and why she no longer has her son," Goku said. Everyone else sweat-dropped at the comment.
"I could care less about your offspring or saving this planet. I'm merely doing it because I intend to rule this planet and can't do so if someone else destroys it." Piccolo stated.
"Fine, let's just go defeat Raditz and rescue my son."
*********
'If I can't convince Kakarott to join me then I might as well take his son instead.' Raditz mused to himself while holding Gohan by his tail.
"Atah tamuut beyedai avi," Gohan stated, sure that his father would come and rescue him.
'WHAT! How does this brat know the saiya-jin language? It was quite evident that Kakarott forgot everything, so how could his son know the language?' A smirk formed its way onto Raditz's face. 'Perhaps some of the information was somehow stored away and transferred to the brat, interesting. Maybe I can raise him as a true saiyan warrior.'
"Quit your whining brat. Do you honestly believe that a saiyan such as myself could be defeated by a weakling such as Kakarott?"
Gohan immediately was quiet and started racking his brain for a way to get him out of his current problem. He realized that he couldn't fire a ki blast since Raditz was holding his tail and he was feeling too weak to use one. He also had only learned how to clear his mind to some extent, not to do anything with it. Since he couldn't actually do anything, he decided to just try and stay conscious to further his training in riding himself of the weakness in his tail.
Finding the area where his space pod was, Raditz flew down into the crater and opened his pod. He threw Gohan inside and was about to get in when his scouter showed two energy signals heading straight for him.
'I should've known. Kakarott has come to try and defeat me; he even brought the Namek with him. Oh well. If Kakarott wants to die so soon then I'll be glad to do it for him.' Raditz shut the door to his pod so that Gohan couldn't escape while he was killing Kakarott and the Namek.
As soon as Goku and Piccolo landed, Raditz looked at them with disgust and said, "So, I see you fail to realize that fighting me is futile. My power level is at 1206 while each of yours is a little higher than 350."
"I don't care how pointless it is, I WILL rescue my son. I will not let someone like you hurt any innocent people," Goku stated.
"You disgrace all saiyans, Kakarott. Saiyans do not defend such puny planets. Now then, prepare to die." Raditz responded.
Goku and Piccolo glanced at each other and nodded. Goku removed his undershirt, boots, and wristbands while Piccolo pulled off his cape and turban. Raditz's scouter went off showing an increase in each of their power levels. He smirked at them somewhat amused by this.
"So, you know how to hide your power level from a scouter, huh? No matter, you're still weaker than me even with your power increases. Might as well get this over with then."
Goku and Piccolo each went into their fighter stances while Raditz remained standing. Goku and Piccolo both smirked before rushing at Raditz. Just before hitting him, Raditz disappeared from their sights followed by the feeling of pain as Raditz thrust his elbows into each of their heads.
"What's the matter?" Raditz taunted. "Am I too fast for you?"
"No way! I didn't even see him!" Goku exclaimed.
"Of course you didn't Kakarott, you're too weak and slow to keep up with me," Raditz bragged.
Annoyed of all the talk, Piccolo rushed Raditz throwing a barrage of punches and kicks, all of which Raditz dodged with ease. Taking advantage of the time, Goku prepared his attack.
"Kaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeee...HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" The bluish-white beam shot forth from his hands straight at Raditz and Piccolo. Piccolo delayed as long as possible then flew away so the attack wouldn't hit him. After landing, Piccolo turned around hoping to watch the destruction of Raditz only to watch him casually grab the beam and toss it over his shoulder.
"Is that the best you've got? You're going to need more than that if you hope to defeat me."
Goku and Piccolo dashed towards Raditz throwing attacks anywhere hoping to land a hit. Quickly boring of the pathetic warriors he was facing, Raditz grabbed Goku's right fist as it came to punch him and swung him around into Piccolo. Raditz continued to spin holding onto Goku for a while until he released him creating a new crater where he landed. After releasing Goku, Raditz jumped out of the way of Piccolo's energy blast.
Piccolo once again rushed in getting the same result as the last times he had tried, never landing a hit. Raditz ducked a blow and sent one of his own at Piccolo's midsection faster then Piccolo could follow. He then grabbed Piccolo's head and brought it down to meet his knee before blasting him away.
"I think it's time to finish this. Prepare to die Namek!" Raditz proclaimed.
Just as he was about to send another wave of energy at Piccolo, Raditz felt a huge amount of pain come over him and looked down to see a beaten and bloody Goku holding onto his tail.
"Hehe..."Goku said weakly. "I remember... how much it used to... always hurt... whenever somebody pulled my tail. Piccolo, do you have enough... energy to finish him off?"
"Yeah," Piccolo said dusting himself off. "Just hold onto him for a couple minutes so I can load my attack." Piccolo put his index and middle finger to his forehead and began concentrating to form the attack.
"No Kakarott, please, let me go. I can change. I will learn your ways and protect this planet." Raditz begged.
"Goku don't do it! He's lying to you."
Goku couldn't decide what to do. While he was thinking, Raditz realized that the grip on his tail had weakened enough so that he could move. Acting quickly, Raditz kicked Goku in the face and then in his stomach, causing him to spit up some blood. Free of Goku's grasp on his tail, Raditz rushed Piccolo to stop him before he could finish his attack.
"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON... FIRE!!!!!!!!!" The twin beams of energy, one spiraling around the other, sped towards Raditz. Realizing that he couldn't deflect it, Raditz dodged the attack before delivering a roundhouse kick to Piccolo. He followed it up by reappearing in Piccolo's path and kicking him skyward. He again disappeared and then reappeared above Piccolo, hammering him in the back with both of his fists.
Looking at the damage caused by the battle, Raditz observed that both of them appeared too injured to continue the fight. Since Goku was the stronger of them, Raditz flew down to kill him first. As he landed and walked over to Goku, Raditz got a malicious look in his eyes.
"Well, Kakarott, it looks like I've won this battle." Raditz laughed. "I told you that you didn't stand a chance and now I'm going to kill you for your betrayal to the Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan race." Raditz proceeded to kick Goku in the side repeatedly and to stomp his foot down on him, enjoying the sound of Goku screaming with each connection of his foot to the weakened warrior.
After continuing for a while, Raditz's scouter started beeping wildly signaling a dramatic increase in someone's power level.
"What!?!?!?!?" Raditz bellowed. "A power level of 1034 and rising. Who could have that much power?" Following the source of the power, he realized that the source was coming from the crater that his pod resided in.
'The only person in that crater is Kakarott's brat. But the scouter showed that he only had a power level of 124 earlier. Oh, wait, these weaklings can raise their power level.' He glanced again at the crater to see a small form burst from within and land on the ground nearby. He was shocked to see that it was indeed Gohan and he had a murderous look in his eyes.
"AAABBAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan cried. Gohan quickly rocketed towards Raditz gathering his newfound energy into his hands. Using Raditz's momentary lapse of attention, Gohan released the energy upward into Raditz without harming his father.
"NO!! I will not be defeated by a half-breed!" Raditz exclaimed.
After the release of the attack, Gohan fell down from lack of energy. Raditz also fell to the ground with a huge whole in his stomach. Looking at Goku, Raditz was pleased to realize that there was no way that Goku would survive very much longer.
"I thought... you couldn't be beaten, Raditz," Piccolo proclaimed as he walked towards him.
"It doesn't matter," Raditz replied. "I may die, but I also killed Kakarott which is what I came here to do. So I still win."
"That's where you're wrong." At Raditz's confused face, Piccolo went on. "Unlike you, Goku will be back soon. His earthling friends will gather the dragonballs and wish him back to life, whereas you will remain dead."
"You're... such an idiot, Namek," Raditz said with a grin on his face. "This scouter... also works... as a communication device. What you just told me... was sent to other saiyans like me... who will come to the Earth... to destroy you. You may have... gotten lucky with me, but... the others are about... ten times as strong as I am. There's... no way that you... can beat them... when they... arrive... in about a year." Piccolo watched on in shock at the new revelation and saw as Raditz stopped breathing.
Piccolo averted his gaze past Goku, who's body was disappearing, to Gohan.
'Amazing. That boy has so much power. If what Raditz says is true and more saiyans come to Earth, then he may be the key to destroying them.'
Piccolo's sensitive ears picked up the sound of jet engines arriving and watched as several of Goku's friends emerged onto the battlefield.
"GOKU!!!!" his friends exclaimed, searching around for him. Expecting to find him, they were shocked when they heard Piccolo's voice.
"Goku is dead. The saiyan, Raditz, killed him. He says that more saiyans will arrive in a year that are much stronger than he is. I'm taking the boy with me to train."
"NO, Goku, you can't be dead. You can't!!" Chichi cried. After her brain perceived the last part of the speech, her sorrow melted to show a face full of fury.
"You can't take my son away from me!" Chichi yelled. "I won't let you train him to be a fighter like his father. He's all I have left."
"I'm not asking for permission to train him I'm telling you that I will." Piccolo went over, scooped up Gohan in his arms and flew away.
"Krillin! Yamcha! Go after him! You can stop him!" Chichi cried desperately.
"No we can't. Piccolo is stronger than both of us combined. It would be pointless to try and stop him." Yamcha stated.
They all just stood there and watched as the dot that was Piccolo and Gohan slowly shrunk until they couldn't be seen anymore.

Another chapter complete (or the first if you want to get all technical on me), I'm shocked. I may be able to have the next chapter up by Monday but I'm not going to guarantee anything. I just realized that I skipped the first encounter with Garlic Jr., so just assume that the same thing happened as in the movie. I'd also like to thank those who reviewed, thanks.
