Chapter 13: Falling Apart

Their fists met, causing a huge upsurge of power to blow a hole in the ground. The rain had just begun, making the floor slippery as they moved about sending kicks, Ki balls and angry glares towards the other. Thunder struck as Goku was hit back. Skidding on his feet, he soon came to a halt, his boots smothered in mud. He prepared a ball of energy in his hand and threw it directly at his brother. Raditz dodged the attack and lunged forward, throwing a killer blow to Goku's stomach. Goku fell to the ground, the blow winding him straight away. Raditz took this to his advantage and elbowed Goku on the head. Goku fell down further, his face covered in the mud from the ground. Goku growled and stood up, wiping the mud from his face with his left arm.

"I say Kakarot; you have a good fighting spirit. You have definitely improved in speed since our last encounter" Raditz shouted across to him. Goku spat out some more sludge and smirked.

"But you disappoint me Raditz. You haven't improved by much at all" he said. Maybe he was being over confident. Maybe he was being cocky. No! He wasn't! He was going to win this fight if his life depended on it. There was no way he was going to let his brother destroy Earth and it's inhabitants. There was no way he was going to let him gain victory…not when there was an ounce of strength left in his body.

"Your cockiness will destroy you Kakarot. You have no idea who you are up against" Raditz spat with a growl after it. Goku snarled in return.

"No Raditz. You have no idea who you are up against. I'm not a child anymore"

"I'm not too sure about that Kakarot" Raditz said with a Saiyan smile. Goku frowned and got ready to fight once more.

Chichi stood by the ship's entrance, watching the fight before her. So many worries, so many doubts. She just wanted him to be safe. Kami knew how much she wanted that. She watched as they threw themselves at each other once more, throwing numerous kicks and fists at the other. She felt so…helpless. The sound of a motorbike soon caught her attention. Turning around quickly, hoping not to miss anything on the battlefield, she was shocked to see who was coming. There were two vehicles, a bike and a car. She refused to believe who the one person was though. Why would he be coming? He hated Goku, didn't he?

The vehicles stopped and off of the bike hopped Yamcha with a following Bulma.

"Chichi" he called, running up to her and grabbing her gently, "Are you alright? They didn't hurt you did they?" he asked scanning her over.

"I'm fine Yamcha, but what are you doing here?" she asked in shock. He looked at her oddly.

"Why do you think? I've come to get you" he said seriously.

"Yeah Chi. We were so scared and worried about you" Bulma said, putting her hand on her shoulder.

"I appreciate your concern but I'm fine…Goku's here"

"He is? Where?" he was answered when there was a loud clash and the Earth shook. The three of them fell to the ground from the intense quake.

"What in Kami's name was that?" asked Krillin who got out of the car. Tien emerged also.

"Over there. It looks like the two Saiyans are fighting"

"That shake was caused by fighting? Holy cow" Krillin whined. Yamcha stood up, helping his sister and girlfriend up at the same time.

"What a clash of power. Master Roshi wasn't kidding about the power he beholds" Yamcha said in shock.

"YAAAA!" Goku screamed, throwing his fist with all his might at Raditz. Another clash of power shook the Ground. His brother caught it, grabbing it he growled and swung Goku around, tossing him into the small mountain to the left of them. There was a loud crash and a rumble when Goku collided with the peak. Chichi gasped.

Goku soon emerged from the rubble and stood up, his tight fitting shirt half ripped and a trail of blood leading from his bottom lip to drip off his chin. He smirked up at his brother, only getting the same in return.

"Maybe this will be a good fight after all Kakarot" Raditz said. Raditz soon took to the air, stopping when he was a few meters away. Goku became suspicious. Raditz held out his arms in front of him and evilly smiled down at his sibling.

"Now dear brother. How about we test this power of yours. If you say you are stronger than before, let's see you block this one" He immediately powered up his Ki and two balls of energy slowly began to form in his large Saiyan hands. Goku looked up, suddenly aware of what was about to happen. His brother's energy was rising greatly, sending sparks into the air and to the ground every now and then. His muscles tensed and bulked up, his veins visibly clear. Goku was astounded by the strength he possessed. The Purple balls of energy had grown into the size of car wheels, sparks and electricity spiting out from them and hitting the mountain, causing rocks to snap off and fall to the ground. The Earth began to shake as Raditz gained momentum and let his energy balls grow some more. Goku was having trouble standing up as the ground shook beneath him, cracks forming beneath his feet. Cracks surged through the ground, causing the Earth to split in half as Raditz continued to power up. Goku knew this was bad. He had no choice but to stop this attack as he crouched down and put his hands in a cupping position to his side, and he too began to power up.

The whole of the city was shaking, small buildings were collapsing and frantic screams could be heard over the rumbling. People ran for cover as the roads began to fall apart and split in half making a huge hole in the floor. Pavements rose up, out of place and then broke apart.

Yamcha and the others were on their knees, unable to stand.

"The Earth is falling apart" Krillin shouted, cracks forming beneath him.

"How is this possible? Oh Kami save us!" Bulma cried grabbing hold of Yamcha. He glared over at the two Saiyans.

"Goku you better do something and do it fast" he said.

A red flaming aura of energy shone around Goku's young body as a large blue ball of energy shaped in his hands.

"Alright Raditz! If you want to play it this way, then you got it" Goku shouted, glaring up at his rival as rocks began to erode from the ground and fly up into the air. Raditz grinned and with a yell he threw his attacks down at his brother.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" Goku screamed before launching his assault up at his brother's. The watching warriors held their breath as both attacks zoomed towards each other. And when they collided, the Earth shook some more and a loud bang echoed through out the large area.

The two colliding powers wore on for a long time with both combatants never dreaming of giving up. Raditz was quite impressed by his younger brother's improved strength, but it was time to end this game.

"It's over Kakarot! Your mine!" he roared, gathering up more power into his veins, which soon merged with his already powerful blast. He fired his new force down at Goku who now began to struggle. The blast began to push him back, causing his heels to dig into the ground. Sweat began to form on his forehead and his arms were beginning to tire. His legs were acing and his eyes were stinging from the dust that was thrown about by the merging attacks. He couldn't take anymore of this. He grit his teeth and lifted his head to look up at his enemy.

"What's wrong dear brother? Having difficulties down there?" he shouted, throwing his head back in laughter.

"This game is over Raditz!" Raditz looked bewildered, "I will not let you beat me" he hissed between grit teeth, holding on as best as he could.

"If there's one thing I've learnt about villains…it's that they never WIN!" He bellowed, gaining control once he reached his maximum. His muscles grew and so did his Kamehameha wave. He fired the whole lot at Raditz, the blast lighting up the country side and shaking the world. Once it was over, all that could be seen was smoke.

The smoke from his attack passed and all that could be seen was the darkness of the sky. The rain had slowed down and the thunder ceased. Only flashes of lighting hovered above him. Goku looked around, a little exhausted from the previous experience. He couldn't see his brother anywhere, yet he could feel him.

"Where are you?" he whispered to himself, panicking because he could not see or feel his opponent.

"Right here" Goku turned around, but only in time to receive a kick n his gut.

"GOKU!" Chichi screamed, just catching the horrific scene of action as she stood up. Goku smashed into the ground, his body painfully skidding and coming to a halt next to the mountain side. He lay on his stomach, his one hand holding it, the other trying to get himself up. He coughed, winded and in pain as he struggled to breathe. Raditz only sniggered. That's when Shola and the other Saiyan Zander landed next to him.

"A brilliant display my Lord" Shola said, looking over at Goku. Goku coughed some more and slowly rose up onto his knees.

"May we have the honours of finishing him off?" asked Zander. Raditz thought about it.

"Nuehweo rontzo cohe" sure why not Raditz hissed, a grin still perched on his face.

Goku was still positioned on his knees as he clutched his stomach. That blow took the wind out of him badly. Not to mention the pain it gave him. He breathed heavily, mostly from shock as his windedness began to fade away.

Zander and Shola took to the air and prepared an attack that they would join together.

"This is going to be fun" Zander whispered. Shola giggled in a Saiyan way.

"Oh my Kami, Yamcha we have to help him!" Chichi begged as her brother and the other's joined her side. Yamcha watched as the two Saiyans produced large white lights in their palms, the two balls soon joined into one producing one large ball of light.

"There's no way we can stop that. We all know Goku's stronger than us. How do you expect us to be any kind of match against them when Goku can't even stop them?"

"But Yamcha he's going to die" Chichi cried. Yamcha didn't reply as he watched the view before him.

Goku turned on his knees and looked up at what was happening in the sky. He saw the Saiyans and he saw the huge ball of white light. He knelt there, breathless and defenceless. He really didn't know what to do. His gaze melted into the ball of energy and a sudden realisation hit him…It reminds me of the moon…that's when he began to feel a change in his body.

"Just a little more and it'll be perfect" Zander sniggered.

"Will you two hurry up and get this over with?" Raditz demanded rather than questioned. He looked over at his brother with a smile, but that soon faded and changed into one of complete horror at what he saw…

…his tail…
