THE UNLIKELY TEAM UP
KAME HOUSE
Goku was sitting on water as he saw the man who said was his brother take his son away. "Gohan!", he shouted as he saw his brother fly away. He then collapsed into the seawater with sadness and a sense of failure.
"Goku! Are you alright.", Bulma asked as his friends came toward him.
"I am sorry, but there was nothing we could do Goku.", Master Roshi said. "He was a very powerful person."
"NIMBUS!", Goku called angrily for his cloud to come to him and he tried to get up but he was failing as he was completely exhausted.
"Goku! What are you doing? You can't go to him in this state!", Master Roshi said.
"I have got to try!", Goku said clutching the place Raditz had punched him.
"He is stronger than you are, Goku. We are going to have to outsmart him.", Master Roshi said.
"He said he needed something called an infinity stone.", Goku said. "That is the main reason why he came here. Do you have any idea what that is?"
"I have no idea, Goku. But by the sound of it, I think is something very powerful. Maybe Kami will know something.", Master Roshi said.
"I don't think we have the time to go to his lookout now.", Krillin said.
"You are right, Krillin.", Goku agreed.
"Let's go and sit somewhere so that you can rest and think of a plan.", Bulma said and the others nodded and the four of them went to the area near the door slowly and made Goku sit there.
"I hope that Gohan will be alright.", Goku said.
"I don't think he wants to hurt Gohan. If he actually wanted it, then he would definitely have hurt him here. You are the one he's interested in.", Bulma said.
"Got it. I think I got what his weakness is. It is his tail.", Goku said with newfound confidence. "Remember how I was when someone grabbed my tail. It was as if, all the energy was drained from me."
"Yes, that is a good point!", Master Roshi said.
"But that guy is strong! Do you think you can do this alone, Goku?", Krillin asked.
"I don't think so. Not by myself anyway.", Goku said with sadness.
"Don't worry, Goku. Krillin and I will help you to end that guy.", Master Roshi said.
"Well, there is three of us.", Krillin said uneasily. "It is possible, but not likely!"
"Hey, you guys can wish me back if anything happens to me with the dragon balls!", Krillin said excitedly.
"I will definitely do it.", Bulma said with determination.
"Guys. We can wish a person only once with the dragon balls remember.", Goku said sadly.
"And I already have been wished back.", Krillin said with his face down.
"Exactly. Its better that, you and master Roshi don't join me.", Goku said.
"Wow! What a bummer.", Krillin said.
"How about this?", Bulma asked. "We gather all the dragon balls and make a wish to save the earth."
"Yeah, that's a pretty good idea.", Krillin said.
"Gathering all the dragon balls in less than a day is impossible Krillin.", Master Roshi said.
"Well, my plan is to go and attack him head on!", Goku said. "That is something I am sure that, he will never expect."
"But how are we going to find where he is?", Master Roshi asked.
"Simple.", Bulma said taking out the dragon radar and looking at it. "With our dragon ball. Gohan has a dragon ball with him, isn't it? The thing is moving really fast!"
Then suddenly the movement stopped. "Looks like it stopped.", Bulma said. "Just after the line that separates our area from the other world."
"Alright then, we go for it now!", Goku said with determination.
"Yeah! We can never predict the outcome. We might just beat this guy!", Krillin said.
"Well. Whatever your plan is, I am in.", Master Roshi said.
"You will never succeed!", a new voice said from above. "You are too weak."
"It is Piccolo!", Krillin said looking above and everybody was stunned at this. "Great! I thought this day will not get any worse."
Piccolo then came down toward them. "Why are you here, Piccolo. I don't have time to deal with you right now!"
"I think it will be wise if you can make time for me. You three can't beat this guy.", Piccolo said.
"Win or lose. I don't care. We have to take him down.", Goku said.
"Don't be foolish. There is only one chance to beat him. That is if I join you.", Piccolo said. "I know we are enemies, but for now we have a mutual enemy. I want to kill him because I have my own plans to conquer the world and he might interfere and you want your kid back."
"Hold on! How do I know, you are not going to turn on me?", Goku asked.
"Don't worry Goku.", Piccolo said with a small laugh. "There is plenty of time to deal with you."
"I this case I think you are right. But you are wrong in thinking that, you can defeat me.", Goku said with a smirk.
"All right then. Let's consider it done. I will try to bear working with you. But let one thing be clear, after this, we are enemies once again."
"Bulma, we need to borrow your dragon radar.", Goku said and Bulma gave it to him without hesitation and then Goku jumped onto the nimbus cloud. "Hey, Piccolo. Do you think you can keep up with my flying nimbus?"
"Are you kidding. I don't think you can keep up with me in that thing!", Piccolo said and then the two of them flew toward Raditz.
LOCATION OF THE SPACE POD
"That bully. He has hurt all these innocent people and they don't move now. I hate him.", Gohan said. Raditz had not even tried to clean the mess of dead people. He wanted everyone who came to him to see what he did. "Why clean this mess up, as the whole planet is going to be littered with dead bodies?", Raditz thought. He then thought of scaring his little nephew by showing off his power. He then lifted the car his nephew was under with a single hand.
"Big deal! Even my dad can do it, you know!", the kid said. But Raditz had other things in his mind and obliterated the vehicle with an energy beam. The kid saw this and started crying very loudly. That made Raditz very angry. He always hated the vailing of children.
"I don't know why you are so mean! I didn't do anything to you!", Gohan said.
"Quiet you brat.", Raditz said picking Gohan up and going toward the craft. "You are one of the members of the great Saiyan race.". He said and put Gohan in the pod and closed it. "You can come when you quiet down.
"Aah. Much better.", Raditz said and went back. He knew that there were more important things than just recruiting his brother and his son, but he knew that Vegeta would want him to find the stone and kill everyone in the planet as soon as possible and the three of them working together would make it done easily. But then suddenly his scouter detected a high power level. "What? A power level of 710?!", he thought. "That too within the range of 50 meters! But where?". He then scanned the area for the source. There was nothing but dead bodies of the soldiers everywhere, but then when he went to see the direction of the pod, he saw that the signal was getting really strong. "Huh! It is coming from Karkarot's kid!", he exclaimed "Impossible! But that is what the scouter is indicating. There is no way. This piece of junk must be broken", he said as he stopped the scouter.
Raditz then hunted a deer that was nearby and ate its meat. "Next time, I will cook the meat!", he said. Then he detected that the scouter was still showing the power level as 710. He regretted the fact that, he didn't bring the manual for the thing. He then suddenly detected a power level of 650 coming toward him. "No. It's 2 people. One is 320 and other is 330. Karkarot is the one which has that power level. But why would he come here? Did he kill some people? Did he get some information about the stone?", Raditz thought. "Otherwise he won't be coming here. He knows that he can't beat me! Besides, he has no idea where I am! That's it. This thing is clearly broken and he put it off again.
Then he saw that Karkarot was coming toward him. He knew that the scouter was not broken. "How could a child have a level of 710?", he thought.
Goku was now coming toward the place his brother was standing in. He saw a big crater and some dead bodies of soldiers around it. It seemed as if his brother had already started killing people. He was getting really angry at this. He then jumped off from the nimbus and landed.
"Well, you are a little more resourceful than I thought you were.", Raditz said when he spotted the green guy he had seen earlier. "and more foolish as well!"
"We will see about that.", Goku said.
"Fair enough!", Raditz said. "Have you come here to say that, you will join us?"
"I am here to get my son back? Where is he? And what have you done to all these people!?", Goku asked angrily.
Gohan who was sitting inside the pod heard the commotion outside and saw that his father had come to his rescue. "That's my daddy!", he said happily. He knew that his father would kick the bad man's ass.
"I would recommend you to join us, Karkarot and as to all these people, these people were bothering me.", Raditz said.
"I don't care about what you say. You killed all these people and that has given me even more big reason not to join you!", Goku said.
"You should listen to your big brother.", Raditz said.
"I would if I had one. But I don't!", Goku said.
"All right, then. Have it your way, Karkarot.", Raditz said with an evil smile.
"All right. I have heard enough of this nonsense.", Piccolo said as he removed his top white clothing.
"Huh.", Goku said seeing this. "I didn't know that you trained with weighted clothing."
"Yeah. You are not the only one.", Piccolo said and stretched.
"His power level has gone up to 400!", Raditz said.
Goku also removed his weighted clothing and stretched. Raditz then just stood there and laughed. "Do you two think you are lot stronger now? Do you think a few weights will affect the outcome of this fight?", Raditz said.
"You are bluffing, I am twice as fast now!", Goku said.
"You have no idea, what fast is little brother. But you will see.", Raditz said. "Its time for your lesson. Now pay attention. I can only show this once, and then its over. All right! Ready or not, here I come!"
THE SHIELD HEADQUARTERS, TOKYO
Nick Fury and Hawkeye had just reached the headquarters now and were going to assemble his agents. They were now going to get the full squadron of agents and soldiers so as to secure the perimeter. Thankfully, he had already taken permission from the Japanese government to make such a move and had ordered Maria Hill to get them ready.
"Are the agents and soldiers ready?", Fury asked Hill.
"They are sir. We have arranged more soldiers than that was requested by you, sir.", Maria Hill said. "There has been the latest development here."
"What is it?", Fury asked. He knew that something big had to have happened for this to happen.
"We received an SOS signal coming from our emergency communication frequency. It is from the group we left at the location.", Hill said.
"Take all the Quinjets we have. Notify stark about this. We might need him and his armour here. I don't think we can get Captain America now on such a short notice.", Fury ordered and the agents scrambled to get the orders done. Nick Fury knew that there was a conflict in the air and he needed all the help he could get. The soldiers and the agents got into various Quinjets with all their weapons. Even Japanese army was notified of the situation in the hopes that they would join to help them. Nick Fury hoped that this mission would be successful as they took off.
