The plan

The boys didn't understand why they would have to say goodbye to the one the loved. They believed there was a way to save him. But Vegeta knew that the only way to stop Kakarot from destroying the whole world was to kill him. Raditz and Vegeta were left alone with Goku as they discussed the situation.

" So sire what do you think we should do? I mean with Kakarot's high power I will be hard to keep him from destroying the planet."

" Yes your right Raditz. Kakarot is as strong as I am and if a power like ours is unleashed on the world it's all over. However, we still have a chance to prevent this from happening. But it will require a great sacrifice on Gohan's part."

Turles had just entered the room. " What are you talking about? You're not suggesting that the boy kill his father are you?" Turles knew just like Raditz and Vegeta that Gohan didn't have the heart to do it.

" Sire forgive me if I sound rude but are you out of your freaken mind? Gohan is like a saint he wouldn't kill a fly! There's no way in hell that he would even consider killing his own father." Raditz said.

" I don't see any other choice." Vegeta sighed. He didn't like the idea any better then the others but he knew what would happen if he didn't take this action.

" Forgive me but he's not like you. He didn't start killing when he was young so how can you be sure that he can do it now?" Raditz continued arguing.

" Raditz, listen. I know you are the boy's uncle and all but this is in his best interest, trust me on this." Vegeta insisted.

" How? The boy is not Saiyan. It's not going to help him any. He would die for his father."

" I would have to agree with Raditz on this one sire. Gohan may be part Saiyan but that will not help any. So what's the point?" Turles said.

" There is a point to all this I insure you. Kakarot turned good, correct. The Saiyan side of him is starting to take control. That same blood that flows in Kakarot's veins flows through Gohan's as well. What I'm saying is that if the boy doesn't learn how to control his evil side he will lose to it much like Kakarot is now."

" Ok let me see if I understand this. The evil desires of our race can cause Kakarot's family to turn evil. Is that right?" Raditz asked.

" Yes. You see Kakarot's family have never felt the thrill of killing. So if they do start to get the urge to kill they will not be able to control it…"

" Because they never killed before. I think I get it now." Turles said.

Vegeta looked over at him with one of the dirtiest looks. If looks could kill Turles would be dead. " Thank you. I could have said that."

" One thing though, why don't you take care of it? You have more then enough power to take Kakarot down. So why?"

" I said it would be better that way." Vegeta said angerly.

" So who is going to tell him?" Turles asked. looked very curious

Vegeta thought for a moment. " Well this person has got to break it to him carefully. I would do it but Gohan would have been too angry if I told him. I won't ask you to do it Raditz, because we already know he despises you and that fact wouldn't help him so I…" Vegeta was interrupted mid sentence.

" Sorry to disagree but I think I should tell the boy. I think it would be better that way. He might be able to see the truth better." Raditz suggested.

" Ok. Be careful. Turles could you call the boy." Turles nodded and walked over to the other room. Gohan was sitting next to Bardock who was trying to calm the others down.

" Uh Gohan can you come over here please?" Turles called.

" Sure. Bardock can you come with me?" Gohan asked as he stood up.

" Sure kid." A few minutes later Gohan walked in with his grandfather.

" So what's the decision sire?" Bardock asked. He was just as curious as Gohan to find out what Vegeta decided to do.

" You two better sit down."

" So what's going to happen to my dad?" Gohan asked.

"We were discussing this and we both thought it would be best that Kakarot be killed." Raditz said.

standing up suddenly " WHAT YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Why?" Tears started to flow down Gohan's face.

" To be honest with you there is no other way. Kakarot can't be stopped any other why. However there is a catch."

" A catch? What kind of catch?" Bardock asked.

" Gohan you are going to have to kill him." Raditz started to cringe. He was expected a bad reaction and he got one.

" WHAT! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS! I CAN'T KILL MY OWN FATHER. I APPOLUTELY REFUSE TO DO IT. I CAN'T!" Gohan yelled just like his mother. scary thought

" Gohan's right sire. How can you expect him to do it?" Bardock abdicated.

" Bardock I know it sounds outrageous but it is in Gohan's best interest."

" MY BEST INTEREST? I AM GOING TO KILL MY OWN FATHER! HOW THE HELL IS THAT IN MY BEST INTEREST!" Gohan continued shouting.

" Gohan I know it's hard for you too take in but…" Vegeta started.

" HARD FOR ME TO TAKE IN? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? HE'S MY DAD! THAT'S LIKE ASKING GOTEN TO KILL ME!"

" I'm glad you brought that up…" Raditz tried to say.

" OH WHAT YOU WANT MY BROTHER TO KILL ME TOO? FIGURES." Gohan thought that Vegeta and the others wanted him gone too.

" No nephew it's not like that." Raditz tried to explain.

" Don't call me that! What is it like then?" Gohan said. calmly

" Ok now that your calm I'll explain. As you know all Saiyans like to do is fight. That same desire drives us to kill. That is what is causing your father to change. The reason that your father is changing is because he never experienced this desire so it is starting to control him. By you killing your father you can prevent your own change. Understand Gohan?" Raditz said.

" Ya I do now. Sorry I blew my top." Gohan said.

" No problem kid. I understand. You and I are much more alike then you want to admit. But anyway can you do it kid?" Raditz asked.

Bardock looked over at his grandson wondering what he would say.

" I will do it. I have to. I don't like it, but it's what I got to do."
