Hello again! Chapter 3 is here! Again, sorry for not updating for a while, but oh well. It's here now! Enjoy!

Mindy: Oh, and Awesomeness127 does not own Dragon Ball Z . . . If she did, then we would all be screwed.

ME: Hey!

FIVE YEARS LATER . . .
I was meditating on Kami's lookout when Mr. Popo came up to me.

"Mindy, you have an invitation to Master Roshi's reunion." He handed me the piece of paper, and left to tend to his flowers. I looked down at the paper, and thought if I wanted to join or not. I hadn't seen them in years, and I missed them, but I didn't think my training was complete. Kami came out to see me, and he looked like he had something important to say.

"Mindy, you should go see your friends and family. They miss you dearly."

"I know Kami, but I still need to train."

"Training can wait Mindy, I'm sensing a great danger coming this way, and it would be best if you were with your loved ones when it happened." I looked at him gravely, not liking the sound of that.

"What danger Kami?" I stood up, and walked towards the edge of the lookout.

"Something far greater than anything I have ever seen. Please go to your family Mindy, they need you." I turned around to my master, and gave him a tight lip smile. I bowed to him, and then put my fingers on my forehead, and used instant transmission to Roshi's.

I teleported by the back of the house, and then made my way to the front. Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin were there, surrounding Goku, and a little boy I had never seen before. I was a few feet away before I cleared my throat.

"Whose the kid?" I asked, and everyone turned around to see me.

"No hi? No nothing, just 'whose the kid'? I see your priorities." Krillin said to me, and he looked at me angrily. I guess he was still mad about the last time I saw him.

"Shut it cue ball, I'm curious over here." I moved around him, and looked at the little boy.

"His name is Gohan, he's my son Mindy." I looked up at Goku in surprise.

"Your son? Since when did you have a son? And why didn't you tell me about this?" I screeched at him, which made the little boy cower behind Goku. My tail twitched in agitation. Did Goku not really care if I was in his son's life?

"I had him a year after the World Martial Arts Tournament. I didn't tell you because I knew you were training with Kami. I didn't want to interrupt all your hard work. I figured you would come down sooner or later." He looked guilty, and scratched the back of his head. He smiled and laughed nervously. I stood up, and crossed my arms.

"If you think that is an excuse for not even letting me know you had a kid, you have another thing coming. But since there is nothing I can do about it, I will let this one slide." I stared at Goku for a good long time, hoping he would get the message. He nodded his head at me, and that was all I needed. I crouched down, getting at eye level with my nephew.

"Hey Gohan, my name is Mindy. I'm your aunt!" I smiled widely at him, trying to make him more comfortable. He still looked scared, and clutched to his father's leg even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not scary at all."

"I beg to differ," Krillin said in the background, but I didn't pay attention to him. I put my hand out in front of me, seeing if Gohan would take my hand. He looked at it for a moment, but still did nothing.

"Go on Gohan, that's my sister. She wont do anything to you." Goku gently pushed Gohan my way, and I smiled as kindly as I could. Gohan eventually got over his fear, and grabbed my hand. I pulled him over to me slowly, and showed I wasn't such a bad person.

"See, was that so hard? You can call me your aunt Mindy from now on, alright?" I asked Gohan. He nodded his head frantically, and went back to Goku.

"Your son seems a little skittish, doesn't he?" Goku looked at me funny, and then looked down at his son.

"Chichi doesn't let him fight. She says books are more important." I gaped at him, and I heard the rest of them gasp in astonishment.

"Books more important than fighting? Did your wife hit her head or something?" Roshi said, still shocked.

"She says that she doesn't want him to be a homeless bum, whatever that means," Goku frowned.

"Homeless bum my butt! I'm not homeless! I live with Kami, and that place is amazing! Better than any house on Earth!" I wanted to scream the words at Goku, but I kept my voice down due to Gohan. Goku just laughed at me, and so did the rest of them.

"Tell my wife Chichi that!" He laughed again, and I got more frustrated. I took a few calming breaths, and looked down at Gohan again.

"Is that a real four star Dragonball on his head?"

"Yep, we've had a fun time looking for that one." I looked at Bulma, and noticed how she hadn't changed in the last five years.

"Adventure huh? You should tell me about it sometime."

"Sure, Mindy . . ." Her voice trailed off, and shook with fear. I was confused as to why she would be scared, but as I looked behind me, I saw a man floating down to the island. The man landed softly on the grass, barely making a sound.

"Who are you?" Goku asked the stranger. The guy didn't answer, but kept smiling between Goku and I.

"Listen hear buster, you tell us who you are now, and maybe I'll reconsider kicking your butt." Krillin got into a fighting stance, ready to take the guy on. The man just laughed, and quickly unwound his tail from his waist, and flicked Krillin into the house.

"Hey what was that for?" Bulma screamed. I hardly heard her words, I was too busy looking at the guy's tail.

"Yo-you have a tail!" I exclaimed, so many alternatives were going through my head.

"Yes I do Barlona, and I see you have kept yours as well. It's good to see you sister, and it's also good to see you as well Kakarot." He looked at Goku, but Goku just looked at him confused. I was in the same boat as Goku. Sister? Don't think so!

"You must be confused, my name is not Barlona, and I am not your sister."

"Now tell us who you are!" Goku yelled at him. The stranger smiled evilly at all of us, and I felt chills go down my spine.

"My name is Raditz, and I come from the planet Vegeta. You Kakarot, and you Barlona, are my brother and sister. You are both Saiyans. Can't you tell by your tails?" I looked at my tail, and it twitched.

"Kakarot! What happened to your tail!" Exclaimed Raditz, pointing at the spot where Goku's tail should have been.

"I had it permanently cut off by Kami a long time ago." Raditz had his mouth opened, but then shook it off in anger.

"What have you done? Do you know that is the source of your power!" Goku just looked at his butt again.

"I haven't seen a difference. It was more of a weakness than a strength." Raditz scoffed at Goku, but still continued. He pressed a button on his weird one sided glasses and pointed at each of us in tow.

"It doesn't matter. My scouter shows that you are the second strongest in the group."

"Second strongest? Who is the first?" I asked, wondering how Goku ever got second place. Raditz turned to me, and looked at me with pride.

"Why you, dear sister. My scouter says Kakarot is 326 while you are 345. Not the greatest numbers, but they will do." My mind went blank. I was stronger than Goku. I felt a hallow yearning in my stomach that made me want to do back flips.

I would if present company wasn't here. Still, the huge smile on my face couldn't be missed. It shined like a thousand suns.

"Now back to business. It's sad to say planet Vegeta was destroyed, and there is only five Sayains left. Prince Vegeta, Nappa, Kakarot, Barlona, and I. We need to band together to take other planets down. We are the best of the best, it should be easy. What do you say brother and sister?" Raditz looked between us, and my happiness left. Destroy other planets? That didn't sound good at all.

"We are not joining you. We live here on Earth, right Mindy?" Goku asked me, already knowing the answer.

"Yes, of course. This place is my home, and I don't want to destroy other people." I stood confidently in my place, having a bad feeling about Raditz.

"You two are really that stupid? We Sayains need to stick together. I came here to recruit you. You really can't say no." Who did this guy think he was to demand something like that?

"The answer is still no. Mindy and I stick together, and that's all I need. Now please, go back to wherever you came from." The tone in Goku's voice left no room for discussion. Raditz frowned, but then spotted Gohan by Bulma. In a lightning quick move, Raditz had pushed Bulma away, and had grabbed Gohan by the neck.

"If you want to see your son again, you will kill one hundred humans by noon tomorrow!" He laughed evilly, and flew off.

"Gohan!" Goku screamed, but I held him off.

"We need to think of a plan Goku. We can't rush off after him like this." He calmed down a little, but an immense determination clouded into his eyes.

"I will save my son." I nodded towards him, and started thinking of a plan. The others were thinking as hard as they could too, until suddenly Piccolo was on top of Roshi's roof, looking down upon us.

"I agree with Mindy, it's something you can't rush into. With my help, we can defeat the guy."

"Why do you want to help us out?" Krillin said, rubbing his head.

"If he destroys the planet, how am I going to take over it?" He smiled grimly, not looking happy at all.

"Who says we need your help? Goku and I can take on that guy!" I said, staring him straight in the eyes. He stared back defiantly, seeming smug.

"I fought the guy before he came here. He's powerful, someone you can't take on by yourselves." I wanted to stick my tongue out at him, because I knew he was right. We needed him.

"If you help us Piccolo, I promise you can fight me afterwards." Goku said, and I knew that if they fought again, a huge crater would probably be in the Earth.

"Deal." Piccolo agreed, and floated down to us.

"How do we track down Raditz?" I asked, hoping to get there as soon as possible.

"Gohan was wearing the dragonball on his head. I can track him down with the dragon radar. Hold on one moment." Bulma rushed into the house, and a few moments later came back with the dragon radar. She pressed a few buttons, and looked at us triumphantly.

"I got it! I can see where Gohan is!" Goku dashed over to Bulma, and looked at the screen.

"Can I take the dragon radar?" Bulma nodded her head, and Goku looked at Piccolo and I.

"Come on guys, we need to save my son." He screamed loudly, "Nimbus!" His favorite cloud came down from the sky, and Goku jumped on. The cloud sky rocketed through the air, and I flew off with him as fast as I could.

"Think you could out race my flying Nimbus, Piccolo?" Goku asked.

"In my sleep." Piccolo responded, picking up speed. They both made it into a race, and I sighed in frustration at their immaturity.

"Is this really the time to get competitive? Stupid boys, I can out fly you both!" I gathered speed, and within seconds, I was ahead of the two.

"Not fair Mindy! You can't do that!" Goku whined, reminding me of the old days.

"Adios amigo!" I laughed heartily, almost forgetting why we were all flying in the first place. I distinctly heard Piccolo chuckle at Goku and I.

"What's so funny green bean, you can't seem to catch me either!" Goku was laughing so hard, he had to hold his stomach.

"Oh yeah? Watch this!" Piccolo came up right behind me, and grabbed my leg. He threw me with great force, and I went spiraling out of control. He sped up ahead of me, and I tried to catch up with him.

"Hey that was cheating green bean! And you're gonna pay for that!" I soon caught up with him, and flew onto his back. I wrapped my arms around him to hold on when he tried to buck me off.

"Wh-what are you doing! Get off of me!" He screamed, but the undertone of his voice said he was amused.

"Don't think so! You're stuck with a monkey on your back!" I laughed when he tried to get me off by trying to grab my collar. I still held on with all of my strength, hoping I could stay on.

"You're not going to win this one Piccolo, she will not let go if she puts her mind to it." Goku laughed at us, but then turned serious when the dragon radar started beeping.

"We will be there in five minutes." Goku replied, the determination back on his face. I realized this was not fun and games any more, and I jumped off of Piccolo. He grunted in relief, and kept looking straight ahead. We soon landed by a grassy pasture, and I noticed Raditz up ahead.

"Goku, you attack Raditz head on while I power up my special move. Mindy, you should take care of Gohan."

"Why can't Goku get his son, while I fight Raditz?" I asked, confused on why Piccolo suggested him over me.

"When you are done rescuing Gohan, we will need you to get behind him and attack." I nodded my head, more satisfied with that answer. We walked to Raditz, and we all had frowns on our faces.

"What? Are you guys that stupid to fight me head on? Here I give you the choice to save your son and you let me down? Such a pity. Such a pity."

"I'm getting my son back now Raditz! Even if I have to take you down in the process."

"Oh, dear brother, I'll be the on to take you down." Goku charged up to him. They started to fight each other, so I took this time to save Gohan. I stalked off to a crater where a space pod was. I saw little Gohan crying, he didn't even see me. I walked up to the pod, and placed my hand on it.

"Calm down, Gohan. Aunt Mindy will get you out." I tried to pry the door open, but it didn't budge. I frowned, and tried again using all my strength. Then, I heard a scream. Was it Raditz or Goku? I poked my head up to see Goku holding on to Raditz's tail, while Raditz was on the ground. I smiled, and went back to the pod. I punched the glass, but it didn't break.

"My dear brother! Please let me go! I promise I'll let your son go, and leave the planet." I heard Raditz yell up above. What a lair.

"Don't listen to him Goku!" Piccolo screamed. How am I going to break this? I can't blast it open, it might hurt Gohan. I heard a scream, and saw a flash of yellow light. I poked my head up again, and saw Raditz smiling, and Goku on the ground.

"I missed! I can't believe I missed!" Piccolo said, placing his hands to his forehead again.

"Goku! I only have time for one more!" I gritted my teeth. I placed my palm in front of me.

"Sorry Gohan, I gotta do this." A white blast was forming in my palm. I heard a scream of pain. I knew in an instant that it was Goku. Gohan's power level spiked up, and I stopped my attack. My eyes lit up in amazement.

His power level was huge! He screamed and jumped out of the pod. Oh, great, a kid could bust out, but I couldn't even put a scratch on it. I saw Gohan kick Raditz in the gut.

"You leave my daddy alone!"

"Gohan run!" Goku screamed, still laying on the ground. Raditz kicked Gohan, and sent him in a daze.

"Weakling, and to think this kid is the first opponent to ever to lay an attack on me. He could prove as a problem. Better end it now." A yellow ball came into his hand. I jumped up, and kicked him in the back of the head.

"Oh no you don't!" I screamed, eyes glaring at him. He flew far away from Gohan, now closer to Goku. As quick as I could I ran to him, and punched him in the chest. He took a few steps back once my attack was made. He looked astounded. Then Goku jumped up and grabbed him from behind.

"Piccolo! Do it now!"

"Finally! Mindy move!" I moved out of the way not sure what was happening.

"Kakarot, you're right behind me! It'll hit you too!"

"I don't care. Piccolo, hurry!"

"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo yelled, and a yellow beam came at Goku and Raditz. The beam went straight through them.

"Goku!" I screamed, and ran towards him. Piccolo walked over to Raditz.

"I can't believe the fool actually sacrificed himself." Raditz said in a daze.

"I wouldn't worry. I'm pretty sure his friends would wish him back with the dragon balls." Piccolo said, looking down at Raditz.

"Dragon balls? Well I thank you for the information, my comrades should be here for my revenge. And should I tell you, they are way more powerful then me." I cocked my head to him.

"When will they get here?"

"One year. You better run and hide. They'll destroy everything." Piccolo frowned, and blasted him. I turned back to Goku, and grabbed his hand.

"Goku? Are you still with me? Goku?" He slowly opened his eyes, and stared at me.

"We beat him. But more will come."

"But we beat him. Just one thing at a time twin." He smiled up at me.

"We make a pretty good team, don't we sis?"

"We sure do. Don't worry, we'll wish you back with the dragon balls. Don't think your going to get off the hook that easily for dying on me when you come back." I chuckled through my tears.

"Don't cry, Mindy. And I hope you get stronger when I come back."

"You bet twin." A hover craft came with Bulma, Krillin, and Roshi on it. Bulma went to Gohan while Krillin and Roshi went to Goku.

"Goku?" Krillin asked taking his hand. We both sat there holding one of his hands.

"He's dying Krillin," I whispered.

"What? GOKU!"

"Don't worry Krillin," Goku gasped out through the pain.

"Your going to make it."

"Not this time buddy." Goku coughed, and blood spilled from his lips.

"We'll wish you back Goku." I stood up, and wiped my tears.

"Gohan is just dazed." Bulma said holding his head. I nodded, and walked over to him, but Piccolo reached him first.

"I'm going to train this boy. He has power that needs to be trained. We're going to need him, two more Saiyans are coming."

"And they're much stronger than Raditz." I said, as Krillin stood up.

"What! But . . . Raditz was way too strong!"

"Well cue ball, it's called training, and green bean, do you really think you're going to train Gohan with out me?" Piccolo grunted.

"It would be better." I rolled my eyes.

"Shouldn't it take a parental signature to take a kid?" Bulma asked, shaking with fear by Piccolo.

"I don't care! I will take this whiny kid, and I don't see any of you guys stopping me!"

"I'll have to go with green bean on this one Bulma. Two more Saiyans are coming, we're going to need him. Don't worry, I'll be with them. You can trust me, can't you Bulma?"

"I trust you Mindy, I just don't trust him." Roshi shook his head.

"What is Chichi going to say?"

"She can cope, that harpy can deal with it." Piccolo said, lifting off into the air.

"Again, I agree with Piccolo. See you guys in a year. Tell Chichi I said hi, and sorry!" Goku's body disappeared while we flew into the air.

Aw, that was sad. I hope you guys liked the battle scene. And yes I know at the beginning when Mindy did instant transmission that they didn't really learn it from Kami. But it had to be done. She read it from a really old scroll that Kami forgot about and Goku doesn't read much . . . Anyways it ties well with the story. PLEASE REVIEW PEOPLE! I hope you enjoyed this long chapter!
