As we stood in front of the large desk, I felt on edge. It was not long that a certain event happened that I had made a request. For such a thing I thought it was impossible, but I had to try. Soon a large male came around the desk, followed by a floating ball that was half my size. "I can't believe I'm doing this. Yet you have earned it. But if you break the rules, I have given you, all of you will return. And your sentence would be doubled. Do I make myself clear?" We all agreed. The crystal ball then came to us, and out from behind came a strange, short old woman. She tells us to hold onto her crystal ball, and that we'll be off. My final thoughts are how will they react to me.

…

I was in the middle of making lunch when Goten came home. "I thought you were spending the day with Trunks." He was silent, as he sat at the table. "Did you two get in trouble again?" Again, no answer, but the angry face tells me it was true. I fetched one of the many containers of cookies and gave it to him. "You could only have a few. I don't want you spoiling your meal." At that, he finally spoke and said he understood. I was just about to set the table when there was a knock at my door. I looked to Goten and even he was puzzled. So, I guess whoever at the door is new.

I quickly went to open it, and what I saw was weird. But before I could say anything, this weird female, that was just about my height, hugged me. "You must be my Kakarot's mate!" Uh? I tried to get her off me, but she's stronger than she looks. Then I heard a male telling Gine to let me go. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm just so excited to meet you." She looked so happy and cheery that I didn't know what to think. Soon Goten joined me at the door. And when Gine saw him, she started crying. "You look just like my Kakarot, but if he was older."

"He had another brat?" I looked to the source of that voice, and what I saw was a tall male. He could easily be at least Piccolo's height. He even had that strange outfit that was like Vegeta's training gear. His hair was super long and had a mean face. But something about him I just couldn't put my finger on. So, I simply asked for his name. "Why are you asking me that? Damn woman. It's Raditz." Raditz? Raditz. Rad… RADITZ! Goku once told me about a supposed brother named Raditz. Anger shot through me as I walked up to him.

"So, it's your fault!" I then punched his face, and he stumbled back a bit. When he looked at me, he looked taken aback and asked what was my problem. "My problem? My problem is YOU!" He asked why. "You took my Goku away from me." I tried punching him again, but he caught my fist at that time. "You're the reason my precious Gohan was taken from me!" Just then we all turned to the sound of someone saying, mom. When I saw who it was, I was happy to see it was my Gohan. I was also very happy to see that even Piccolo and Krillin were with him.

"Let go of my mother." Raditz did, and I stepped back. Gohan was walking up to him. "Why are you here?" Raditz simply answered how he couldn't speak about it. "I don't believe you."

"Oh, my! Is this the boy you talked about?" Gohan looked over to Gine and looked confused. He then asked who was she. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't properly introduce myself. I'm—"

"A pain in the butt." We looked to the source of the voice, and my mouth just dropped. There was no way. I looked to Gohan, and even he looked shocked. "What?" I quickly recovered and asked for his name. "Bardock." He then pointed to Gine. "Pain in the butt is Gine." She waved. "We're Kakarot's parents." I have so many questions. And from the looks of it, so did everyone else.

After the whole shock went away, I invited everyone inside. Maybe a cup of water or lemonade, some tea would be nice. Gohan was still on edge, and I don't blame him. But at this moment there's no fighting inside my home. But I did have to inform them about no dirty footwear on my clean floors. Gine was the only one who didn't argue and happily took off her shoes. The other two needed more of a stern talking. Thankfully the boys easily convince them to follow my rules. I was a little amused about how Gine looked all over the living room as if she was a child in a new place. The men, on the other hand, didn't seem impressed. But I wasn't expecting much from them. But I did find it funny how they looked awkward just standing around. Also, how they seemed to be getting death glares from Piccolo and Krillin. "Boys calm down. And please don't break anything." They all said yes Chichi like they should. "Well, since I wasn't expecting guests, I'll start fixing up a snack for all of you." And there goes the food budget for the week.

…

The moment I came back to life, I'm getting punched by a human female and then meeting an older, angrier nephew. Finding out I had another nephew, kind of. That fight was way too long ago to keep track who fought that pink blob. On top of that, I have the green man and baldy looking at me like I did something. I haven't done anything since I came back. Not like I could, anyway. But my second nephew was a weird one. Every time he tried to get close to me, everyone pulled him away. But when he got close to mother everyone was fine. To father, well the brat didn't go near him. "Where's Kakarot?"

"That's not how you ask. And besides." Brother's mate looked over to me. Now she was a strange one. "If the boys were able to know you were here, Goku should be here soon."

"Goku?" Both my parents looked at her confused. "Oh, wait. Is that his earth name?" The female nodded. "It's strange. But it can't be helped. Could you tell me about how my baby survived all these years?" That's right. When I died and was sent to hell, is when I found out the truth about brother. I felt so foolish and ashamed of myself. Even if he hates me for life, I would still like to apologize to him. All those years in hell was both a blessing and a curse. I was so foolish. I was a slave under Frieza's control. All we were trying to do was survive.

When I remembered about brother, I started having that long forgotten feeling again. Hope. But what did I do when I came for him? I belittled him because I was stronger. I threaten to take my nephew in his place. I was even was willing to… to… I did become a monster, and these people have every right to be wary of me. I could never be able to erase my past, but hopefully, I could start anew. "Here." I was taken out of my thoughts and saw that the female was holding a cup to me. "Try not to break it." I just looked at her for a moment, before I saw the others were still giving me the death glare. I gently tried to take the cup. Wow. This thing seems so fragile. No wonder she said to 'try' not to break it.

After a few seconds, I finally took a sip of the liquid, and to my surprise, it was very good. "What is this?" She smiled and said it was lemonade. What a strange drink. "It's good." She said thank you and walked away. I hope brother shows up soon. Even though I'm kind of nervous. How will he react to me? Probably like everyone else so far. But would he listen to me? Would he let me apologize? I do not expect him to forgive me. I just hope he hears me out first. If he still hates me after, I would be completely fine with that.

My kid brother. The one I secretly was so happy to have. The very one I was hoping to be able to train, once he got out his nursing pod. All those childhood thoughts of how he'll look up to me. All those childhood thoughts of how we would be an unstoppable team, that served Prince Vegeta. All those thoughts were crushed the moment Lord Frieza showed his true colors.
