"So how do weget him to talk to us?" Trunks asked totally stumped.
"Simple," Vegeta said, "One of you goes in there and gets answers from him."
"You mean you're not going?" Gohan was somewhat surprised.
"Of course I'm not." Vegeta snapped. "I brought him here, my work's done. Besides, he was looking for Kakarot."
"Alright then..." Goku stepped forward to the air locked door. "Open it up, Bulma."
Bulma placed her hand on the handprint lock. "You'd better be careful..."
"I'll be fine, but thanks anyways." Goku walked into the containment cell.
Seeing him walk in, Rohk turned his full attention to Goku.
"What do you want?" Rohk snarled with his fists clenched.
"Hey, take it easy there..." Goku put out his hands in a calming signal. "I'm only here to talk."
Rohk didn't budge. He examined Goku and noticed him holding the pouch he'd had taken.
Noticing this, Goku had an idea. "I believe this is yours?" He tossed the pouch to Rohk's waiting hands.
Rohk smiled lightly at his recovered pouch. And he also eased up at Goku.
"Uh, thanks... I guess." Rohk muttered not looking at Goku.
"Well, I was told you wanted to talk to me?" Goku said after a few moments of silence.
"And just who are you?" Rohk raised an eyebrow.
"Well, if I tell you I'm a Saiyan, I think you could figure it out right?" Goku joked.
Rohk's face lit up once again. "You... you mean you're THE Kakarot?"
Goku put his hand on the back of his head and laughed. "Well, last time I checked I was..."
Rohk grew ecstatic. "I can't believe this! I've been looking for you for weeks."
"Well, I can guess that's because you think I'm the only living Saiyan right?"
"How'd you know that?" Rohk was stumped.
"Vegeta told me." Goku answered the confused youth. "And we're trying to figure out who you are exactly."
"Vegeta?" Rohk drew back a little. "So... is he the real Prince Vegeta?"
Goku laughed "Yup. He's real too. Either that or you're having one heck of a hallucination..."
Rohk laughed, but it was rivaled by his stomach growling at the same time.
"Him, you sound like you could use some food huh?" Goku asked him.
Rohk was somewhat embarrassed. "Uh, thanks..."
Goku knocked on the window. "Hey, Bulma! You can let us out now... He's okay."
The door opened up and Goku walked outside, but he noticed he was the only one who came out. He turned to see Rohk peering around 2 feet from the door.
"Hey, you coming?" Goku asked in a somewhat concerned tone.
"Uh..." Rohk didn't budge. "Is Vegeta gonna beat me up again?"
"Oh just quit your whining and get outside already..." Vegeta snarled from the other side.
Rohk slowly and reluctantly made his way outside to see the rest of the group waiting out there. Goku put his arm around Rohk to calm the shy Saiyan.
"Hey, everyone, this is Rohk..." Goku said pointing to him. "You already met Vegeta, that's his wife Bulma and their son Trunks. And this is my son Gohan, my other son Goten."
Rohk gave a small wave. "Uh... hi... And I'm sorry about that building I blew up..."
"Well..." Bulma said. "If you give back a certain something you stole, I guess we can forgive you..."
"Oh... that..." Rohk pulled the dragon radar out of his pouch. "But... I really need those dragonballs..."
"You seem very interested in the dragonballs, don't you?" Vegeta pointed out. "Just what do you 'need' them for?"
"Long story..." Rohk muttered.
"Well then c'mon." Goku said pushing Rohk forward. "You can tell us while we eat!"
30 minutes later at Goku's house
Rohk may have been very hungry, but not even he could top how much Goku could pack away.
Chi Chi shook her head as she picked up yet another set of empty dishes. "I swear Goku, I don't know how we can afford to pay for all the food you eat..."
Goku slurped down the last of a bowl of eel soup. "Ah... Well, ya know what they say, Chi Chi, growing boy's have gotta eat!"
She just rolled her eyes and took the newly emptied soup bowl to the kitchen to wash it. Since Trunks and Vegeta ate too, Bulma thought it best to help her wash them.
"So..." Gohan began to talk first. "You were going to tell us about yourself, Rohk?"
Rohk finished chugging a glass of milk. "Uh... what did you want to know?"
"Why don't we start with that picture that I'm in." Vegeta answered quickly. "Where did you get it?"
"Oh that..." Rohk put down the glass. "That's the only way how I know what my father looks like..."
"Hey, is Vegeta your dad? Cause I'm sure Bulma wouldn't mind another kid..." Goku joked.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Ugh. I think I'd know if I had a kid, Kakarot..."
Rohk shook his head as he pulled out the picture. "No, this one's my dad..." He pointed to one of the other Saiyans.
"Wha-- huh?" Goku's eye grew big. "But... but that's my brother Radditz!"
Surprised at the news, Gohan and Vegeta also tried to look at Rohk's fingered Saiyan.
"Huh? If... he's your brother..." Rohk added up in his brain. "Then that means you're my... uncle?"
"Impossible." Vegeta said without believing him. "Radditz never had any kids. Nor was he even interested in any."
Rohk hung his head. "No, I'm very sure he was my dad..."
Goku backed up Rohk, "C'mon, Vegeta. His dad had to be a Saiyan right? Why not Radditz?"
"Then who was your mother?" Vegeta still wasn't buying it. "Perhaps he can lie about that too."
"..." Rohk didn't want to say it, but it looked like the only way to convince Vegeta. "My mom's name was Toffee."
"Hey, like the candy?" Gohan asked. "But isn't that kind of a weird name for someone?"
Rohk stared at the ignorant Goten and Trunks and then back at Gohan. "What do you think it means?"
Neither him nor Goku seemed to get it, but only tried to figure it out.
"Oh come now, Kakarot." Vegeta finally said aloud. "Can't you get it? His mother was a striper."
"Oh..." Goku said looking at the ashamed Rohk. "Sorry to pry..."
"It's okay." Rohk finally said.
"Where's she now?" Gohan asked.
"She was ki-- I mean she died..."
"Boy is this getting depressing..." Goten murmured to Trunks.
"Uh, if it's alright, I have some questions for you guys..."
"Well, ask away!" Goku said smiling again.
"Okay..." Rohk thought for a second. "Well, how's Vegeta alive? I thought he blew himself up to save the Earth from Majin Buu?"
"Well, Vegeta did try to, but it didn't kill Majin Buu." Gohan answered. "And he did die, but now he's alive now."
"I dunno if you can answer this one, but I'll ask anyways..." Rohk inhaled. "What happened to my dad, Radditz?"
"What's there to know?" Vegeta decided to take this one. "He killed Kakarot and tried for everyone on earth, but Piccolo killed him before he could."
That amount of shocking information was a lot for the young Rohk to process.
"My... dad killed you?" He finally managed to say to Goku.
"Yup, back then your dad was very strong." Goku put his arms around his head. "But of course now, he wouldn't be too much of a challenge."
"You mean..." Rohk was still blank faced. "My dad had the power to kill everyone on a planet?"
"And you think we don't?" Vegeta snorted in disbelief. "Of course, you being as weak as your father couldn't sense that could you?"
Goku was noticing Vegeta's harshness was getting to Rohk. "Hey, Vegeta... Lighten up. He just found out stuff he never knew before about his dad. Cut him some slack"
"Che!" Vegeta turned his head. "What kind of Saiyan is that emotional anyways? It's disturbing..."
At that Rohk straightened his face up. "Well, I guess that's it..." Rohk stood up from the table.
"Hm?" Goku looked over at him. "Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm gonna leave now..." Rohk put on his belt pouch. "Thanks for the food." Rohk bowed as a sign of gratitude.
"Hey, you can't leave!" Gohan said standing up after Rohk.
"Why? Did I forget something?" Rohk was puzzled.
"Yeah, you're family!" Goku said standing up too. "Where are you gonna go?"
Rohk shrugged. "I'll think of something..."
Goku put his arm around Rohk's shoulder. "Yeah, you'll think yourself to stay here with us!"
"Absolutely not!" Chi chi's voice boomed from the other side of the kitchen door.
"Mom?" Gohan turned as his mom stormed up to Goku. "Were you eave's dropping on us?"
"I have a hard enough time feeding the three of you! How am I supposed to look after a fourth one of you?" Chi Chi boomed at her husband.
"Uh... Very carefully?" Goku teased.
"Goku! I'm serious!"
Goku turned to Rohk and shrugged. "Sorry, but she's not budging... Maybe we can get you to stay at Master Roshi's?"
"No way is he staying with that stinky, old fart!" Bulma said from the kitchen doorway. "He can stay with us..."
Vegeta could scarcely have turned his head any faster than he did.
"What!" His tone rivaled Chi Chi's. "Absolutely not, Bulma! I'm not having him in my house!"
"Excuse me? 'Your' house, buster?" Bulma was upset. "When was the last time YOU paid for the bills? It's MY house, so I say he can stay with us."
Vegeta swore something under his breath...
"Thank you very much, all of you." Rohk bowed again to show his gratitude. "I appreciate all you are doing for me."
"So, dad." Goten asked his dad. "Can we spar with him?"
"Well, now's probably not a good time, Goten..." Goku scratched his ears. "It's already pretty late and all..."
"You better believe it is, mister!" Chi Chi snapped. "Goten should've gone to sleep 40 minutes ago."
"That reminds me," Bulma noted. "It's past Trunks' bedtime too."
"Aw... mom..." Goten and Trunks said simultaneously. "Ha! Jinx!"
"I don't think it would have been much to watch either..." Vegeta scoffed. "This kid needs some serious training..."
"Hey, I happen to be a decent fighter." Rohk replied to the insult.
"Hey, training!" Goku smiled. "What a great idea, Vegeta! So can you train him?"
"Me!" Vegeta turned upset to Goku. "You must be joking... I have my hands full with myself and Trunks."
"Yeah, that's right..." Goku thought some more. "I can't either... My two kids train together and now I'm starting to train Uub..."
"Figure it out tomorrow." Vegeta said walking out, "I'm sure you can come up with something."
While Bulma and Chi Chi tried to gather their sons, Vegeta signaled for Goku off to the side with a head motion.
"What's up, Vegeta?"
"I don't trust that kid at all." Vegeta said harshly.
"Oh, c'mon." Goku pushed Vegeta's shoulder lightly. "You're not afraid of him are you?"
"Don't be absurd." Vegeta was unamused. "By the way, what did the Supreme Kai want anyways?"
Goku turned to make sure no one was listening. "He told me he's been sensing numerous other Saiyans here on Earth as well."
"Hmph." Vegeta had his arms folded once again. "I knew I sensed it. I'm surprised you didn't, Kakarot."
Goku shrugged. "Well, you were right all this time. But..." He stopped to search for words.
"What's wrong?" Vegeta said with his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Kai said there was something... odd about the other Saiyan energy signs. That's how he was sure it wasn't ours." Goku said worriedly.
"Suppose it has something to do with this new nephew of yours?" Vegeta said thumbing at Rohk.
"I dunno..." Goku scratched his head. "But let's just keep an eye on him..."
Vegeta nodded to Goku in agreement and the two of them parted to their own respective groups.
