DEATH OF GOKU
Raditz was now in a completely stunned state. A kid had just managed to inflict a significant damage on him like never before. Just a mere kid! As he recovered from the hit, he saw that the kid was going to his brother's side. Raditz checked the power level of his nephew again and found that, it had reduced completely to a ten,
"H-how is this possible?", Raditz asked himself, but he knew that now was the time to kill the little brat before he becomes powerful again.
"G-Gohan get a-away from h-here.", Goku pleaded with his son. He knew that, the power his son had before was gone now and Raditz will come again. But before Gohan could do anything, Raditz came and picked him off the ground.
"Its your time to die you little brat.", Raditz said and threw the boy back onto the ground with force. The kid had started crying again. Then he started to raise his hand to deliver the final blow. Goku saw the opportunity and jumped up with his remaining power and put Raditz in a Full-Nelson. Raditz was completely unable to move as he was nearly fully exhausted as the beam he was charging up went somewhere else.
"What are you doing!", Raditz asked Goku angrily.
"Just keeping you ready so that, he can take you down.", Goku said with a smirk.
"What!? What are you talking about?", Raditz asked angrily and then saw the green guy still standing there charging up for the attack. Raditz then understood his brother's plan.
"Karkarot, listen to me! You don't have to do this!", Raditz told to his brother. "You do know that, if that hits me, it will most likely kill you too, right?"
"I don't care about my death, as long as the people of this planet is safe.", Goku said strengthening his hold on his brother.
"You fool! Think about our race! We need to avenge them.", Raditz said still struggling to get out of his brother's arms.
"I don't care. The people of earth are my people and I will do anything to protect them.", Goku said. "Not a race that, I don't even remember about."
Piccolo was now smiling at the altercation that was happening in front of him. Goku had his brother on hold and were standing in one place. Piccolo knew that, this made killing the alien very easy. He also knew that, his beam could pierce through the body and even hit the person directly behind the victim. Thus, the beam will kill not just the alien but also Goku. Two birds with one shot, Piccolo thought with a smirk. Then when he realised that it was fully charged up, he removed the finger from the forehead and shouted. "Dodge this!"
He then directed the beam toward the both of them and hit Raditz directly on the exposed part. It went straight through him and Raditz gasped in pain. Then it went and hit Goku which again went right through him. Goku also gasped in pain as the both of them fell on to the ground. Goku died as he touched the ground. But he knew that, there was a way in which he could return back.
Raditz saw that, his brother was dead and started to give a small laugh. "Foolish man, sacrificing his own life to save the others. This is not Saiyan behaviour at all."
Piccolo was going toward Raditz and heard what he was saying, "Don't worry about your brother. We do have a way of bringing this guy back.", Piccolo said with a smirk.
Raditz was now suddenly interested in what the green alien had to say and thought that his comrades ought to know about it too. "You see, we have something called the dragon balls and if we can collect the seven of them we can make a wish and bring him back.", Piccolo said.
Raditz smiled at the foolishness of the alien. He knew that, the whole conversation would have been heard by Vegeta. He knew that, Vegeta will come in search of both the stone and the dragon balls and revive him before these guys had the chance of reviving his brother.
"You fool! Do you think that I am the only one of my race out there?", Raditz spat. "There are two more of my comrades there and they have received the message about this dragon balls that you are talking about. They would be very much interested in whatever those are, and they will surely come and get them."
"We will face them when they come.", Piccolo spat at Raditz.
"You know nothing about them, do you? They are much more powerful than I am and will kill you all this instant. They will come here, take the infinity stone collect the dragon balls and wish me back to life. And then I shall enjoy killing you with my bare hands.", Raditz said with a laugh.
Piccolo was getting more and more angry by these words and killed Raditz with a powerful punch in his face. Raditz died with a smile still in his face.
Bulma, Krillin and master Roshi was searching for Goku and Piccolo as they were flying in a small plane.
"Do you think, they both would have defeated Raditz?", Krillin asked.
"I hope so. For the sake of this planet.", master Roshi said as he scanned the surroundings for any trace of Goku.
"How much farther are they?", Krillin asked impatiently.
"We will reach there in a minute.", Bulma said as she scanned the dragon radar. She knew that, she had to find them immediately as the government had warned them about an organisation called SHIELD coming to the place of conflict. She knew that, they were like an international spy force that did some shady work according to her father doctor Brief who had worked with Howard Stark during the 1980s.
The SHIELD had always tried to find out more about what was happening in Japan from her father through indirect means but her father never relented. The protection of this piece of land was a very important issue, and if found would have lead to disastrous consequences to the inhabitants.
Bulma then saw that, they were near the place and started lowering the plane for landing. What she saw after she landed was Piccolo standing there in the field next to Raditz who was clearly defeated. Gohan was also lying nearby. Bulma was now panicking about what had happened to Gohan and Goku. The three of them ran toward Piccolo and Raditz.
Piccolo turned around and saw that three more people had decided to join the party. He then silently made way for them as they came. The woman had clearly seen Goku and was coming there to see what had happened to him.
"Goku! Please talk to me!", Bulma cried as she tried to wake her friend up. She had ignored Piccolo when she found her friend lying on the ground with a big hole in his stomach. But then to her amazement, Goku slowly opened his eyes.
"B-Bulma.", Goku muttered.
"You are going to be OK, Goku. Please stay with me.", Bulma cried.
"I don't t-think I w-will s-stay a-alive m-more, Bulma. I am out of t-time. Piccolo used a beam t-that hit me and R-Raditz. Y-you can use the d-dragon ball to revive me.", Goku said and just then Mater Roshi and Krillin came to his side.
"We promise you that, we will wish you back, Goku.", Krillin said. "We will do it as soon as we can."
Goku just gave a small smile and closed his eyes as the life was drained out of him. Bulma and Krillin looked at their friend in sorrow, but knee that they could easily wish him back. Then suddenly Goku's body began to fade and started to disappear.
"W-what is happening?", Krillin asked horrified.
"I have no idea.", Bulma said with wide eyed.
"Kami.", Piccolo said as he saw the body disappearing.
"What do you mean?", Master Roshi asked.
"This is clearly Kami's doing. I can feel it.", Piccolo said. "He wants to take him somewhere and wants to say you not to wish Goku back anytime soon."
"Why the hell should we believe you!?", Krillin asked angrily.
"You believe or don't, I don't care, but there is a bigger threat coming toward us.", Piccolo said looking at the sky. "At least that is what this guy said."
"What the hell do you mean?", Krillin asked angrily.
"There are two more Saiyans coming to earth.", Piccolo said as he walked. "It seems that, that the thing he is wearing around his eye is like a radio that is transmitting audio to his Saiyan buddies in space. He has said that the whole fight was transmitted to them and they will be coming to get revenge in his name."
"You mean there are more like him out there!?", Bulma asked horrified.
"Yes, and they will come to earth in an year.", Piccolo said. Then he looked at the baby Gohan who was sleeping in Bulma's arms. He knew he had to get the kid so that he could train him. Piccolo had seen the power that was obviously lying dormant inside him and it was going to be an important part in the fight that was coming.
Piccolo then in a swift motion took the kid out of Bulma's arms. Bulma screamed as he did it.
"What the hell are you doing!?", Krillin said as he saw what had happened.
"Give Gohan back!", Master Roshi said angrily and the both of them were now ready to attack.
"Don't do any foolish moves. We all know who is strong here.", Piccolo said.
"What are you going to do with him?", Bulma asked.
"I am going to train him.", Piccolo said simply. "He has such hidden potential, and I want to make sure that it is unlocked before those two Saiyans come."
"How do I know, you won't harm him?", Krillin said as he tried to catch Gohan. But Piccolo dodged from him easily and said, "You won't."
Piccolo gave an evil smile and flew away from them. Krillin and the others were now helpless as they didn't know how to fly.
"What do we do now?", Krillin asked helplessly. "Goku is gone and Gohan is kidnapped. There are two more of those Saiyans coming here."
"We can always wish Goku back with the dragon balls!", Master Roshi said.
"But Piccolo said that, Kami wishes us not to wish him back anytime soon.", Bulma said.
"Why in the world should we believe him. This might be his game.", Krillin said.
"I say we start collecting the dragon balls now!", Master Roshi said.
"We have to get out of here fast!", Bulma said looking at her watch.
"Why? What happened?", Krillin asked.
"The outsiders are coming here to see what exactly happened here.", Bulma
"Outsiders? How did they get permission to come?", Krillin asked. The last time the outsiders had managed to penetrate into their land was when the red ribbon army had come. "and who are they.", Krillin continued.
"They are an governmental organization that works around the world.", Bulma said
"A-are they l-like the red ribbon a-army?", Krillin asked.
"No. My father had worked with them once or twice. He did tell that, they are a shady organization.", Bulma said. "But they are not completely evil like the red ribbon army."
"Hmm…", Master Roshi said to himself. The crisis with the Saiyan was now getting international attention and he knew that, if the Saiyans are coming the chances of the outsiders discovering them were even higher. There was a chance that, the Saiyans will land in an area not in Japan which he knew will cause much damage.
"It seems, the existence of our land might have to be revealed.", Master Roshi said. "If those Saiyans land in a place not in our land, we will have to go and help them."
"You are right!", Bulma exclaimed. "I never thought of that!"
"But what will that mean for us?", Krillin asked.
"That is a thought that should be given for another day.", Master Roshi said thoughtfully.
"I will have to tell dad about this development.", Bulma said. "I am sure that, he will warn the emperor about this latest development."
"I am sure that, he will think of a good idea on how to deal with this.", Krillin said.
"We shall have even to consult with Kami about the thing the Saiyan wanted.", Master Roshi said. "He said infinity stone, didn't he?"
"Yes. Infinity stone.", Bulma said. Then her phone beeped with an incoming message. Bulma took her phone and saw.
"It seems we will have to leave the body of Goku's brother here.", Bulma said.
"What? Why!?", Krillin asked.
"Just so that, those people will have no excuse to be here.", Bulma said. "At least temporarily. But we can take the spaceship from here."
"We will have to face Chi-Chi and tell her about this, won't we?", Master Roshi said with fear.
"Oh I hate to be the one to inform her of this.", Krillin said sadly. "I don't think that, she can handle the fact that her husband has been killed and her is kidnapped."
"We will have to deal with that later.", Bulma said. "But first we have to put the spaceship somewhere safe."
The three of them carried the spaceship and put it on Bulma's plane. They then flew off to the west city headquarters of capsule corporation.
