AN- Wow. Im really glad people are already enjoying this story. I promise, I already have a lot of this outlined in my head, so this stuff should flow fairly quickly. Keep the reviews coming, and I'll be more than happy to keep the story coming!
"Why are you babysitting that kid, Goku?"
Goku laughed at his best friend Krillin's question.
"I'm not babysitting, Krillin. He's my son!" he exlaimed as he put Gohan down.
Krillin's jaw dropped. "Your....son?
"Yep! His name is Gohan!"
Krillin nodded. "You named him after his grandfather, huh?"
Goku smiled. "Yeah. Isn't he cute?" Gohan had wandered near the ocean, and had fallen down near the waves. Krillin frowned.
"Maybe, but he's nothing like you were at his age. Have you...?"
Goku shook his head, a look of disgust forming on his face. "Chi Chi won't let me train him. She says martial arts are a waste of time."
"What?! Then what does that make us?"
Goku lowered his head. "Krillin, I don't know. But I don't know if we should push it. Something in the way she screams..."
Krillin shrugged. "I don't get it. I mean, I know she's hot, but I don't know how you put up with her..."
Piccolo's meditation was cut short by a sudden wave of energy. His eyes shot open and he wildly looked around. That power! It feels like...like Goku.. but there's no way he's gotten that strong! It's.... it's overwhelming!...
To Piccolo's dismay, the energy was heading right for him. He looked into the sky just in time to see a blur of color come flying down towards his position. Before he could even finish turning his head back to eye level, the color had materialized and formed into a man. He was indeed the man who was giving off the outrageous power level. He was as tall as the green fighter, and much much wider. His hair was similar to Goku's except it flowed down, reaching further down past his waist. There was a strange green looking device attatched to the stranger's eye. It made several beeping sounds, and the man scoffed at what he saw.
"Hmm, only 314? I could top that without even powering up! You're lucky Prince Vegeta sent me on a mission of peace, green man. You would have no chance at all if I was allowed to have my way with you."
Piccolo glared at the newcomer. "You sure dopack a lot of power for someone who has come in peace. You also carry yourself like someone who is used to battle. What brings you to my neck of the woods?"
"Simple." The man pulled out a small circle, which created a holographic image in the air. The image was of a child, which had a hair style exactly like Goku. "Aha!" Piccolo cried."You are in cahoots with Goku! I didn't think he was that cowardly as to send one of his friends after me!" The man's eyebrow raised as Piccolo threw out his right arm in a claw attack. The arm stretched out way further than possible, and Piccolo's claws raked into the strangers arm. The arm coiled back more in shock than in pain. Before the stretched out arm could recoil, the rest of Piccolo came barrelling forward, his knee crashing into his opponent's side. He brought his outstretched arm around and down like a whip, when his enemy regained his senses and shot out, catching the arm with a sneer.
"Is that it, green man?"
Piccolo grinned as energy flowed through his arm, and blasted out of the hand the the stranger was holding, the blast completely catching him by suprise. He let the captive limb go and clutched at his side, smoke still trailing from the light wound. The man laughed. Amazing! What he lacks in battle power, he more than makes up for in technique and resource! But enough fun. The man shot forward quicker then Piccolo could see and caught his head in his hand.
"You hold nothing but suspicion in your heart. Every little move your body makes is calculated for your benefit. You can tell everything about a person by the way he fights. You are a person who makes enemies of entire planets, are you not?"
Piccolo's eyes widened in shock at the man's amazing insight. He was not used to people adressing him, let alone picking his brain. Yet he went on.
"You would adapt quite quickly to the life we lead. Never trusting anyone, always planning ways to get the drop on everyone. Your mind never rests for an instant, does it?"
Piccolo grinned as all of his energy finished gathering into one point, his two outstretched fingers. "You're damn right! Eat my demon ray!" From his fingers a strange corkscrew of light shot out, barely nicking his opponent's face, leaving a slight scar and a trail of blood. Cursing himself for missing, Piccolo prepared himself for the blast of anger he knew he was due. Instead, he recieved only a small chuckle. He looked at the eyes of his enemy, and only saw small traces of regret and sadness.
"You and I are alike in so many ways..."He paused for a moment, shaking his head before going on. "My name is Raditz. If we had the time, I would stick around longer. But I must find Kakkarot. Perhaps we will meet again one day, green man."
The man named Raditz shot off into the air, consulted the eye piece he wore, and then speed off in a new direction, leaving a stunned Piccolo to dwell on his words. After several seconds, Piccolo decided he had nothing terribly important to do today, and flew off after him. It was obvious that wherever this man was going, it was going to get incredibly interesting very quickly.
AN- Give me a day or two guys. Ill have another chapter up soon.
