The Explanation
Using his instant transmission, Goku arrived at the earth's check-in
station to find the three bewildered saiyans.
"Kakarot?" Raditz exclaimed, "What's going on?"
"You've all been given a second chance at life. I certainly hope you will
take advantage of that chance and live good lives here on Earth."
"Fool, what makes you think we won't just destroy you and your planet and
go back to killing?" Raditz said.
"Well for one I've seen much worse turn into much better, your Prince
Vegeta was given the same chance at life that I am now giving you and he
has taken advantage of it and started a family on this planet. He has even
risked and lost his life in an effort to save this planet he once tried to
destroy. Secondly, all three of you combined don't have the power to
destroy even Piccolo, the Namek that you yourself, Raditz, have fought and
maimed. We have all changed a lot. Even my son, the one you captured, could
destroy you without much effort Raditz. Brother, give this a chance. I
didn't even know I had a brother until you arrived. I didn't know that I
had a race that I belonged to that was so strong and proud. Give it a
chance."
Raditz merely snorted and drew silent. Goku, satisfied with the result,
turned to his father.
"Father. I have never in my life met you. I have heard both good and bad
things about you. I know that you led the last defense against Freeza
before our home planet was destroyed, but I also know that you worked for
Freeza. Now I just have to figure out if it was by choice or by force."
"I hated that slime!" Bardock spat, "When he turned up in Hell, I couldn't
have been more happy!" I'm glad to see that you have survived. Your fame is
known in other world even if your brother is too proud to admit to it. He
knows, as well as I, that we'd have no chance against you if we fought. But
why did you give old murderers like us a second chance at life? We don't
deserve it you know."
"Yes I know that you don't deserve it but I hope that, like Vegeta, you
were victims of your surroundings and that your cold exterior will melt
away just like his."
Through the discussions of the family, King Vegeta merely listened. He had
no idea how this third class saiyan had been able to destroy the evil lord
when he, the King of all saiyans had not been able to lay a finger on him.
His son would have to make this all clear.
"Just like Vegeta," Goku thought upon hearing the King's thoughts, " I just
hope that he turns out like Vegeta."
"If you'll follow me," Goku explained, "I'll take you to the families you
have never met."
With that Goku blasted off followed closely by his father and King Vegeta.
Raditz hesitated but, with a nod from Goku, took flight.
"Come on son," Bardock yelled, "show me what you can do. Don't wait for us,
I know you're much faster than this if your fame does you any justice in
other world."
Goku had never had a chance to show off to his father. With childish glee
he powered up to Super Saiyan 3 and blasted off out of sight of any of the
other three saiyans and came back just inches from Raditz. Annoyed Raditz
tried to hit him, but, before he could even swing, Goku was already back in
front leading the three.
"Arrogant!" Raditz thought, "I was so much stronger than him when last we
fought, what's happened? Maybe there is something to being on the good
side."
Goku landed in front of capsule corp. and motioned for the others to land.
Goku walked inside the building and, after a few minutes, emerged followed
by Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, and Bra. Vegeta couldn't believe what he was
seeing. His father was alive and Raditz was standing there as though the
Namek hadn't blasted a hole through his stomach over two decades ago. Was
he dreaming?
"Son I can see you are doing well." The King spoke for the first time since
his resurrection, "We have much catching up to do."
King Vegeta walked into the house without a second glance around.
"Well he hasn't changed even after 40 years in Hell!" Vegeta exclaimed as
he carried Bra on his shoulders and followed his father into the house,
"Come on Princess, let's go and meet your grandfather."
Raditz couldn't believe the change in Vegeta. He still remembered the cold
warrior he had traveled the galaxy with destroying worlds. He never showed
anyone love and yet here he was with a wife and family. Princess? He would
have never shown that kind of emotion in the past. Things really had
changed and Raditz wasn't sure if he liked it. How could Vegeta settle
down? Raditz thought back to all the whores that they had ravaged in the
past. Vegeta had loved it, hadn't he? He certainly looked like he had. He
would take them brutally in all ways imaginable. Raditz had never partaken
but he was essentially forced to watch the sickening display. And now here
was that same man smiling lovingly in his wife's eyes. It made no sense!
Raditz's mind reeled with the changes that had taken place in the 20 years
that he had called Hell home. His reveries were broken when Goku yelled
that it was time to go and meet their family. This was it. If Vegeta could
learn to live here with a chosen mate, maybe Raditz could live peacefully
as well. Although if all he had heard about had actually happened to
Kakarot and his power, then he didn't have much of a choice but to be
peaceful. Besides, he had never seen his father so happy since before his
baby brother was sent to this planet. If his father could enjoy the idea of
a family and peace, maybe he could too...
Ok that's chapter two. A little slow I know but it will pick up. I hope to
go ch. 3 as Vegeta and his family's intial reaction and maybe like first
week. And then Ch 4 as the same thing with Goku's family. Ch 5 I hope to
end with but I don't know. That will be about what has changed with the
risen saiyans. Let me know what you think R&R.
