Chapter 3: Not Like the Show
Apparently I could fly. I had Ki control, and could blast things, too. Though I wasn't really any good. Goku said he'd start training me soon. Goku wasn't surprised, but Chi-chi was mad when I first used my Ki for blasting. Let's just say I caused the front door some damages and leave it at that.
Goku, Chi-chi, and I made up a story that I was Goku's long lost sister, and it wasn't long until Gohan started calling me aunt Katie, he believed it.
We were flying fast toward master Roshi's island; Goku was using the Nimbus because he had Gohan with him.
Flying is so cool… I use to be scared of heights, but I guess that's a thing of the past now.
Soon enough we touched down and I was nervous as time ticked away.
I was introduced to Krillen, Bulma, and Master Roshi. Roshi greeted me as he does all pretty young girls, so I slapped him. Bulma and I talked over technology, seeing as even at home I was smart, and Krillen told jokes. But the whole time Raditz's arrival was eating away in the back of my mind.
Then finally, the moment I was dreading appeared. An energy blast hit the beach and sand flew everywhere. I turned, not too surprised but still horrified, to see Raditz.
"Kakorot, why haven't you destroyed this world yet? And what happened to your tail?"
"Who are you!" Goku screamed.
"Kakorot, I'm hurt. You don't even recognize your own brother?"
"My brother?" Goku glanced at me, then back to Raditz.
"Yes, and you were sent here to destroy this world. We are Sayjins, and this is what we do. We conquer planets and exterminate all life, and then we sell the planet to the highest bidder. You were sent here as a baby, Kakorot. Join me Kakorot, and together we could rule this world!"
"Never!" Goku cried.
"Daddy!" Gohan cried out.
"Get behind me, Gohan." I called as he ran behind me. I was closer than Goku to Gohan.
"You have a son? What, who are you!" Raditz noticed my tail for the first time. I had been keeping it wrapped around my waist, but like an animal I swished it around in anger and fear without noticing that I was doing so.
"Oh, that. I go by Katie, and I'm Goku's sister."
"So that's your name, Kakorot?" he said to Goku, then turned to me, "I didn't know I had a sister."
"Well I didn't know I had aliens for brothers!" I lied, keeping up the story. Raditz walked over to Goku and kneed him in the stomach, knocking Goku out temporarily.
"You're an alien too, my dear. You must have been sent here to help Kakorot in his mission. Looks like you both failed."
"Daddy!"
"No, Goku!" Krillen charged but was back slapped away and out. Only I was left able to fight, and I knew I couldn't beat him. I may have power, I don't know yet, but I don't know any fighting techniques. He was ten yards away as he spoke.
"Sister, please, join me. I don't want to hurt both my siblings." He said in a sarcastic manner.
"I won't join you." I hissed.
"Then take this!" he blasted me in the chest and the blast knocked me into Roshi's house. Too stunned to move, Raditz walked over and picked up Gohan. "I'll be off, then, and I won't be hard to find if you change your mind. To show your loyalty to me, and to get the brat back, you best do as I say. Let's say… 100 humans, piled up here, from you both." He said to both Goku and me, "I'll count, and then we can leave together to rule the galaxy!"
"Daddy!"
"No, Gohan." Goku gasped.
"Stop!" I said weakly.
Krillen was out, but Goku and I were recovering. Raditz took off, flying faster than I could comprehend.
"Goku, does this mean…?" Bulma started.
"Yes Bulma," I stated. "Goku and I are both aliens. Goku, we have to go after him."
"What's going on here?" Piccolo said as he landed. It was hard for me, but I had to act like I hated him and was surprised to see him.
"What do you want, Piccolo?" Goku snapped.
"I felt a strong presence here and came to investigate."
"It was an alien, apparently my brother." Goku said. "He took my son."
"Like I care." Piccolo said as he turned to leave. I thought fast.
"He wants to rule the world." I said.
"That's my job." Piccolo said as he turned to face me.
"Then maybe the three of us should team up to stop him." I suggested. Goku gave me a glance and I gave a slight nod, "We should be more than enough for him."
"How about it, Piccolo?" Goku asked.
"Fine, a truce, but as soon as he's dead, we continue this." Piccolo said staring right at Goku. "Who are you, anyway?" Piccolo asked, looking at me.
"I'm Goku's sister, Katie."
"Well, lets go before we lose him."
"Right." Goku and I said.
"Bulma, give me the Dragon Radar."
"That's right, Gohan's hat has the 4-star Dragonball attached!"
So once again I was flying next to Goku, Piccolo in the lead.
"Katie, we need to talk." Goku said. I slowed down so there would be some distance between Piccolo and us, since I knew he had good hearing.
"Goku, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Raditz, but-"
"I understand that, but teaming up with Piccolo?"
"Trust me, it'll work out." Goku didn't look too sure, but he nodded and we sped up. I had major things to think about, like the battle. And home, mom and dad must be sick with worry by now.
I can't remember, but I think Piccolo was the one to suggest the team up, so why did I have to intervene?
The field approached and Raditz's ship was in view.
"You two keep him busy and I'll save Gohan."
"Right." They both said in unison. I broke off and landed next to the ship. The door was easy to find, and Raditz, Goku and Piccolo had started fighting. I blasted the door open and retrieved Gohan out. He was crying as I held him.
"Where's daddy?" he asked through tears.
"He's fighting that bad man who hurt him."
"Really? I want to see!"
"No, wait!" I called as he jumped and ran toward the fighting. I followed, and when we got there Raditz was holding Goku down with his foot. Piccolo was on the ground missing his left arm. Gohan screamed and I felt his energy rise. Raditz's Scouter broke as Gohan did so.
"You leave my daddy alone!" Gohan attacked, and it happened so fast I hardly knew what happened, but the end result was Gohan passed out on the ground, and Goku holding Raditz in a chokehold. I ran over and picked up Gohan. Piccolo was getting up and powering his Special Beam Cannon.
"Piccolo, do it now!" Goku screamed.
Piccolo blasted and Raditz was hit, killing him and Goku at the same time. I placed Gohan near a tree and ran to Goku, who was disappearing. I knelt down next to him.
"So… this is why I had to… team up with… Piccolo?" Goku asked, smiling. I held his hand as he died. To tell the truth, I didn't cry because I knew he was going to be okay and wished back. I was more scared of Vegeta and Nappa coming.
"Yeah, you'll see later. Gohan's safe now."
"Good." Goku said as he vanished.
"Piccolo, are you okay?" I asked as I got back to my feet. Though I knew Goku was okay and going to be wished back soon, a few tears still fell down my face.
"Fine. I guess you'll get the Dragonballs to wish Goku back." He answered as he regenerated his arm.
"Yeah."
"I won't be… killed so easily! I've recorded our battle, and as I speak, two Sayjins stronger than I are on their way here to collect those Dragonballs! They'll be here in one year to avenge my death!" Raditz was up but barely alive. He had sent the message.
This isn't right, this isn't like the show! He's supposed to be dead!
Raditz powered up a blast and fired it at Piccolo.
Raditz doesn't know that Piccolo and Kami are linked, the Dragonballs will be gone! I have to save Piccolo!
I ran and intercepted it, and I felt the pain. I looked over and Raditz was down and dead. Piccolo walked over and stared down at me.
"Why did you do that?" he asked, looking confused.
"Earth needs you to… stop those Sayjins. Besides… without you there… aren't any Dragonballs." Then I felt myself fade away.
