Dragon Ball Saiyan Redemption

Episode 7: The First Of Many

Deep in the forests of Mount Poaz, two strong fighters were sparring against each other. These fighters were the strongest on Earth currently. They were Bardock and Raditz. In a cleared patch of forest Bardock and his son were exchanging volleys of kicks and punches. Barely any energy attacks were used and when they were used, the Saiyan at the receiving end of the attack dodged them with ease.

"You're getting better at this Son. All those decades of training in Lighter Hell must have carried on to this world. You have become almost a better fighter than me," Bardock explained to Raditz slowly while catching his breath.

"And your not so bad yourself for an old man," Raditz joked also trying to catch his breath but continuing his hits.

"Hey. I may be older than you, but with age comes experience," Bardock said as he tripped Raditz.

Vegeta entered the field and told the other two some news.

"Hey! Bardock! Raditz! Got something to tell you."

"What is it King Vegeta?" Raditz asked getting off the ground.

"Okay. I don't know if I told you two this or not but I recently got rid of the Saiyan nobility. We are now following under the Earth monarchy. The new king we follow under is King Foxcoone," Vegeta explained.

"So what do you want Vegeta?" Bardock asked.

"I came to give you your new updated scouters," Vegeta replied.

"New scouters?" Raditz asked.

"Yes. The scouters we originally had would break if we tried to see how strong we are. Now we may be able to sense power levels but to actually see how we will do, we need more of an accurate number. These new scouters will be able to measure power up to 2,000,000. Also, just like the royal scouters, these will be able to connect to the Eethernecta and something called the Internet. Now I wasn't able to do all of this by myself. I had assistance from Torah and Fasha. Oh. One more thing. The new scouters will be personalized as so not to confuse whose is who's," Vegeta explained.

"Okay, I get the personalization but what is the Internet?" Raditz asked.

"It is similar to the Eethernecta back home," Vegeta responded. Vegeta then handed out the new scouters to Bardock and Raditz. "Now I want to see how strong we have become so try and raise your power levels to the highest you can," Vegeta proposed. Bardock and Raditz entered a crouched position and tightened up their muscles. A white aura surrounded them both. Vegeta pushed a button on his new scouter and alien digits filled the visor.

"Impressive and interesting. Raditz, your power level is interesting to me because it reads an odd 987,654. The digits seem to decline in value in each place value. Bardock. Your power level is lower but equally interesting. Your power level is 888,888. Eight's across the board," Vegeta observed.

"You know, we should train in the present state we are in now. We will get a much better work out that way," Bardock explained.

"I agree with you," Raditz said.

"Wait. Before you start, I need to tell you something. On the Eethernecta, I found the method to go Super Saiyan. I am going to try and enrage you while you train. This potentially deadly combination is supposed to make you transform" Vegeta remarked.

"Fine. Then let's begin," Raditz said with an apparently evil grin on his face.

"Okay. Now start training. I'll start with slightly discouraging remarks then increase the intensity to what you would endure if you were in Dark Hell," Vegeta said. The relatives of Goku started to spar. Raditz and Bardock started exchanging punches and kicks.

"Now you can punch harder than that can't you Raditz?" Vegeta asked. Raditz increased the intensity of his punches. "Now don't forget to increase your kicks. You'll have brittle legs if you don't focus on those. But I never pegged you as a fighter anyway. I always thought of you as one of Frieza's minions," Vegeta mocked. This caused Raditz to increase the intensity of his kicks. Then Raditz released a small energy blast. "Now come on Raditz. You couldn't hit the broad side of an irregularly shaped planet with that blast," Vegeta continued to mock.

"Oh shut up Vegeta!" Raditz said with some slight anger in his voice. Raditz suddenly launched an attack right at Vegeta. Vegeta dodged this attack.

"Hey! Watch it you oh too easily pissed-off Saiyan. I may not be your king anymore, but you have to treat me with respect you filth," Vegeta said half-serious and half-mocking. Raditz suddenly focused on the last half of Vegeta's last sentence. This statement echoed in Raditz's mind. This command brought Raditz back to his days as a child.

A very young Raditz was in a dark red room with Frieza, Zarbon, and Dodoria. This was the scene that many Saiyan children were in after they conquered their first planet. Raditz was running away from Frieza.

"Where are you going you wretch?" Frieza asked.

"Maybe he is scared of you Lord Frieza," Dodoria suggested.

"I wouldn't say that. Lord Frieza is a very kind ruler. He wouldn't hurt a fly," Zarbon said mockingly.

"Well why should this Saiyan be afraid of his own father?" Frieza said evilly.

"You're not my father. Bardock is," Raditz said.

"Oh no. Your mother was a very lecherous Saiyan. She slept around. In fact, she had slept with me and 12 months later you were born," Frieza stated.

"No. That's not true. My mother was very kind for a Saiyan warrior. You're lying. That's not true. You take that back you bastard," Raditz yelled.

"Now listen here you ungrateful little bitch! I am your Lord and ruler. I am higher than King Vegeta! In fact, he answers to me! And you will treat me with respect you Saiyan filth!" Frieza yelled.

Raditz had his aura around him grow to 10 feet in the air.

"Woah! Raditz, you're getting stronger! Your power level is raising to 988,000! Keep it up!" Vegeta remarked.

"You just might be on to something here Vegeta," Bardock praised. "In fact, if it will help both of us, you can put down my mate," Bardock allowed.

"Okay. I can make some gruesome statements about peoples' mothers," Vegeta stated.

"Then pull them all out. You have my permission," Bardock said.

"Hey Raditz! Guess what? I saw your mother in Lighter Hell. Your mother is extremely beautiful. And guess what? I did your mother around 15 times a year up there! She was extremely grateful she didn't have to do your father anymore. I thrust my tail up her hard and fast. She screamed for me to stop it but I kept on going," Vegeta yelled. These statements brought back Raditz to the scene he originally flashed back to.

"Get away from me asshole!" The young Raditz screamed as he tried to run away from Frieza.

"Dodoria, restrain the ungrateful, disrespectful, low-level Saiyan. I have a plan," Frieza stated.

"Yes my lord. It will be my pleasure," Dodoria responded. Dodoria immediately transported himself behind Raditz and took hold of him. Frieza slowly walked over.

"You know, I don't normally have to discipline Saiyan like this, but to make them respect me, I will do anything I can. Give me your tail you ungrateful, little, pathetic Saiyan bitch," Frieza explained.

"No! I will never respect you! You are not my father, you never slept with my mother, and in my eyes, you are the ungrateful bitch!" Raditz yelled.

"Zarbon, grab the little bastard's tail, I want to cut it off. He does not deserve to go Oozaru every full moon," Frieza ordered.

"Yes Lord Frieza," Zarbon said. Zarbon grabbed a hold of Raditz's tail and Frieza whispered in his ear.

"You have another brother coming don't you?" Frieza asked.

"Yeah so? His name is Kakarot, and I guarantee you, if I don't kill you, if my mother doesn't kill you, and my father doesn't kill you, I swear, you will get your body totally mutilated by Kakarot. I guarantee it you bastard!" Raditz yelled.

"Well, I am thinking of killing him. I can't afford another Saiyan like you running around in the universe. And you know, for saying that, I am going to remove your tail slowly," Frieza declared as he made a small ball of energy. Frieza pushed the energy ball slowly along Raditz's tail.

"AHHHHH!" Raditz yelled. The pain his tail was going through was unimaginable. Zarbon was pulling his tail, Frieza was slowly cutting it off and there was nothing he could do about it because Dodoria held a very tight grip on him.

Back in the present, Raditz's aura grew 50 feet in height. A translucent gloss formed over his eye. Vegeta pushed a button on his scouter and was utterly shocked at the power level.

"Bardock! Your son's power level has grown to 1,000,111! He is nearly unstoppable!" Vegeta yelled. Suddenly, Raditz made a very weird remark.

"Frieza, I have had it with you! I hate you! I hate you! I absolutely hate you! I will fucking kill you you horrible little bastard!" Raditz's aura then turned gold, Raditz's hair stood on end. The mane that Raditz owned had stood up straight. Raditz hair turned gold while the mane slowly dropped to the ground again. The eyes of Raditz turned cyan with the translucent gloss still formed on it. His eyebrows turned gold as well. Raditz's tail became gold-furred. Raditz became a Super Saiyan. Suddenly, Shugesh walked in.

"Hey guys, I was checking out weddings on the Internet, did you know what kind of things that go on during the honeymoon?" Shugesh said as he looked up. Shugesh saw the two regular Saiyans and Super Saiyan Raditz. "Torah! Fasha! Borgos! Get your Saiyan asses over here! Raditz became a Super Saiyan!"
