The Brother War

Chapter 2

"I thought you would remember my voice, Raditz... I did after all kill your worthless friends..."

" Damn you!" Raditz anger increased again

" I can't wait to slit your throat!"

" You can try... ...but you'd probably fail miserably."

" Don't be so confident you bastard... our powers are equal..."

" Equal... really..."

" Don't even start with me..."

" You'd actually think I would come here and not train?"

" Oh I know you've been training... But then again so have I... and I know you better then anyone."

" I knew you would eventually equal me..."

" Heh..."

"Are you serpressing your power, dear Raditz?"

" You got what you want... I'm no longer that nice little brother you always bossed and kicked around."

" So, did my little plan work?"

" Yeah your plan worked..."

" Did you know I was hired by father..."

" I figured father has something to do with it."

" He wanted me to kill your worthless friends to try and make you cold. Like a good boy I did as he said."

" And it worked."

" Father was so proud..."

" I bet he was.. But then again he told me so himself."

" I wonder how much your son has softened you...And we can't forget about Luki."

" That brat has no impact on me."

"Oh, by the way... I took the liberty of putting them at peace just before I found you." Raditz didn't let it get to him.

Goku looked at Kakuei's direction. " So your the one who turned my brother's life into hell."

Kakuei looked at Goku. " I also saw a little boy and his mother... both black hair... they're gone too."

Goku raged grew. " YOU BASTARD!"

Kakuei chuckled and turned to Vegeta. "And let's not forget our prince...A young blue haired girl..." Vegeta growled. " Such a beauty, so sad she perished at my hands."

" Why did you..."

" Why?"

" Yes why?" Vegeta said

" Oh, just the pleasure of the kill..."

Goku formed a fist. " I'm ashamed you're of my blood."

Raditz let out an evil laugh. " I'm ashamed I have to have a weak brother that is weakened by such emotions as love and compassion..."

Raditz laughed. " Agreed."

" Huh?" Goku said.

" You heard me..." Raditz said coldly

" Love and compassion only strengthen me!"

Kakuei growled in disgust " Your so foolish... Even the prince has softened!"

Vegeta growled. Raditz let out more laughter. " You know... Kakarot's right..." Vegeta said.

" You two are sad..."

" You're sad!" Goku shot back.

" Yes Raditz I agree with you... they are sad excuses of Saiyans." Kakuei said

" I'm sad you say little brother?" Raditz asked Goku, " That hurts..."

" I don't care if it hurts you or not! You've turned into an evil monster!"

Raditz smirked " Its all for the best."

"All for the best! You've gone insane!" Goku yelled, then muttered under his breathe, "Although you always were insane..."

Raditz's eye brow rose. " What was that?"

" Uhh..."

" Don't think I didn't hear that."

" Heh heh... well... it's true..."

" I think I'll beat your ass.." Raditz was going to fight Goku. Kakuei stopped him.

" Don't Raditz..."

He looked at his older brother. " Why not?"

" I think we can help him too..."

Raditz nodded in response. Goku's eyes shifted between the two. " What?"

" Go ahead big brother, tell him."

" Uh..."

" Tell him our plan... if you wish. I think it is nice... The plan I mean."

" It is quite a nice idea..."

" To you maybe." Goku said

" Well, Goku, we want you to join us..."

" What? Never!"

" You will, in time..."

" Oh come-on... come back to the family fold."

" I won't!"

' Then I guess we don't have a choice.' Raditz said to Kakuei. Kakuei nodded. ' I'll start going after his friends.'

' What about the prince?'

' him too... but first Kakarot...'

' Right.'

Raditz smiled evilly. ' im off...' Raditz starting sensing where Goku's friends were. ' keep him busy...'

'Right.'

Raditz instant transmissions. Goku and Vegeta both notice

" So, Kakarot, I guess I'll have to try and persuade you..."

" And I'm not easily persuaded." He said in a determined voice

" What have you got to lose? You've already lost everything."

" What! What do you mean?"

" Your friends, your family, soon your mind... soon this whole planet."

" What did you do to them!"

" Didn't we already go over this?"

" You were hear the whole time... you couldn't possibly hurt my friends."

" Who said I hurt your friends?"

Goku's eyes widened in shock. " No... You made Raditz do it..."

" I never made him. He chose it on his own..."

" Yes you did.." Goku shot back

" You really think our brother is that much of a goody goody?"

" You're not my brother!"

" Oh really?"

" Yes really!"

" We are nothing alike."

" If I'm Raditz's brother... then I'm your brother..."

" No... I don't acknowledge you."

" My blood courses through your veins."

" I don't care... your not my brother."

" Brother... don't be like this..."

" I will be... I will not join you!"

" You know you love me like any other brother should."

" I don't love you at all! I despise you."

" Aw, I'm hurt."

" I don't care.. Your the one who turned Raditz against me.."

" Oh no, that wasn't me, he did that himself."

Speaking of the devil, Raditz returns, he has blood on his hands. " Did you succeed?"

" I killed his friends yes. As you see the blood on my hands"

Goku stood there with a look of shock on his face.

Raditz looked at his little brother. " What's wrong?"

" I can't believe you'd do that to me..."

Raditz's eyes narrow. He smirks. " Is it really that suppressing?" Goku sniffs a little. Raditz humph.

" Weakling."

" You are weak for letting the evil inside of you take control so easily!"

Raditz laughs. " You fool..."

" You fool!"

" You actually thought that the good side was alive?"

" It's been dead for years." Goku gasps. Raditz's eyes narrow. " You didn't know.. How surprising."

"..."

" Nothing to say about that uh."

" Why didn't I know about this..." Goku said quietly to himself.

Raditz laughed. " I can't believe you didn't know. Now then... why don't you join us little brother."

" I won't!"

" Stop being so stubborn. You have nothing left."

" Thank Vegeta. For my stubbornness." Vegeta sighed

Raditz growled. " Ah! Fine be that way... then you will both join your friends."

" Chill Raditz!" Kakuei said

" I'd rather do that then join you!"

" And here I though we were brothers Kakarot."

" Not anymore!"

Raditz was taken back. For a quick second a spark of regret appeared on Raditz face. But he shook it off

" You used to be my brother... you used to be someone I looked up to..." A tear rolled down Goku's face. Raditz looked away. But he did feel sorry. But he didn't show that

Kakuei... looked on. " If you join us... you can still have that."

Goku kept his attention on Raditz. "Someone I used to trust! Someone I used to go to for help when I needed it! Someone that had so much going for him... THEN JUST THREW IT ALL AWAY! You are not my brother!"

Kakuei looked back at his little brother.. " Raditz... don't let him get to you... don't listen to his nonsense."

" I'm not." He said coldly. But he was...

" I'm not speaking nonsense... I'm speaking the truth."

" To true Saiyans like us... its nonsense. Join us... baby brother... You can have it all with us.."

" Then true Saiyans don't see the truth... they're vision is blurred by destruction! And betrayal..."

" But it's lovely... We are not stopped by anything.. And we are not betrayed..."

" You betray many."

" We can count on the other... We betray no one. Isn't that right little brother?"

" Indeed."

" Raditz just betrayed me, Vegeta, his own son, his own wife!"

" Shut up!"

" Don't tell me you haven't betrayed anyone."

" I haven't."

" You know you have... deep down inside... you know the truth. So sad you can't accept it!"

Kakuei knew it was senseless to talk to him. " Raditz... lets end this.." Raditz nodded. Both brothers went into the sky. Both powered up mega blasts...

" Say goodbye to your planet!" Raditz said

" Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled. " Now!"

" Right!" Both powered up to SSj6 and did fusion.

Kakuei wasn't concerned

' I hope I can hold this off...' Gogeta thought

" So you two know fusion... Well it won't save your planet!"

" Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will save Earth!"

Raditz didn't want to do that to his own brother but he had no other choice. " Its over!" Raditz's attack grew in intensity. He smirked evilly

Gogeta's mind was racing with the thoughts of how the earth would be destroyed if he didn't stop them. He growled loudly and his power skyrocketed. Kakuei looked at Raditz and vice versa. They both fired. " I won't let you destroy this planet!" Gogeta caught the attack. His heels dug into the ground.

" You fool! YOU CAN'T STOP IT!" The brothers fired again... the energy was immense

" I WILL!" Gogeta pushed harder. He became ssj7. " I WILL protect this planet!"

" Damn... Kakuei... they are transforming again."

" I know... don't be concerned." They fired more energy at them. It knocked Gogeta to the ground. He then slowly got up again... he made another transformation. The brothers still weren't concerned

" I will push myself... I will prevent them from destroying this planet!"

Unlucky for them the fusion was over. They separated and collapsed into the ground. The attack hit the earth. It was slowly going down into the earth. Raditz and Kakuei left. " Vegeta... we have to stop this thing..."

" Agreed"

Vegeta and Goku were SSj8s. They pushed against the ball of energy.

Raditz and Kakuei laughed as they went to planed to planet destroying them

Goku and Vegeta were still trying to stop the energy. Goku was at ssj10 and Vegeta was still at ssj8. Eventually after a long battle they managed to stop it

" My hands burn..." Vegeta said, looking at his red hands.

" Mine too ya know." Goku looks at Vegeta. " I have no idea how we are going to deal with those two."

" I don't either. I don't know if we can."

" I still can't believe my big brother went over to the dark side..."

" It wasn't his choice, Kakarot, I'm sure."

Goku looked at Vegeta. " You think?"

" I'm positive. There must've been a long term fight going on."

Goku was on the verge of crying... " I thought he beat it though..."

" It's hard to defeat a part of yourself."

"I just want my brother back..." Tears started rolling down his face. Vegeta put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

"We'll get him back...Somehow."

" Vegeta... i just hope."

"We have to find a way. But for now, we have to stop them." Goku nodded. " Lets find them."

" Right... but let's stop at Korin's and get some Senzu beans." Goku nodded as second time. Then they both instant transmissioned.
