Okay, first off, let me say this. I am not saving Raditz in this fanfiction. Because, number one, he'd be joining the club of men in Dragon Ball who end up without a girl, number two, I found no redeemable quality despite his under characterization, and number three, I plan on too many people being saved.

So Let's get started

Raditz manages to dodge the ki blasts, and is surrounded by his enemies. Eventually, the punches stop and Raditz starts hitting them instead. When they land away, Raditz screams, "Brother! I'll show you how it's done!"

He flicks a purple ki blast at Goku and the others, and causes them great pain and injury. Raditz is about to fire again, until his scouter beeps to life. He turns to Piccolo, who has completed charging his attack. The demon smirked, "Let's see you stop this one!"

"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"

And like that, a golden beam spirals out of the tip of Piccolo's fingers, flying straight at Raditz. After that, there's nothing but a bright light. When the light fades, Piccolo shot the cannon through a mountain, leaving a massive hole in its center, and Raditz with a bloodied shoulder and missing the padding around it. Yamcha stammers, "He...He dodged it!"

Raditz smirked, "Now I'm grateful you're aim needs working. But you need to pay retribution."

Raditz charges at Piccolo, but Broly blocks him from attacking the one armed green man. Broly threatens, "You'll have to get through me."

Raditz smirks, "That's the idea!"

The two start throwing punches at one another, during this, Broly warns, "To let you know, for your sake, I'm holding back a lot!"

Raditz becomes angry and starts flailing wildly, "DON'T YOU MOCK ME!"

Broly dodges and block, but a blast by Raditz sends him back a distance. Broly snorts, "Didn't even feel that."

Raditz prepares to charge up his strongest attack. That's when Goku grabs him by the tail and forces him to his knees. Goku chuckles, "You got careless. I'll never forget how much it hurt when someone squeezed my tail. Especially when I wrung it out like a towel!"

At that moment, He wrings it out like a towel, making Raditz scream in pain. Tien hollers, "Piccolo, can you charge that attack again?"

Piccolo cackles, "With pleasure!"

Raditz begs, "Kakarot, please tell me you're not going through with this. I am your brother."

Goku snorts, "Brother? Don't be ridiculous. You kidnapped my son and tried to kill me. And if I remember correctly, you said you'd kill everyone on this planet."

Raditz swears, "I was bluffing! I'd of done anything to get you to join us! I'd swear it!"

Piccolo screams, "Don't listen to him, Goku! He'll say anything to get loose!"

Raditz continues, "I was never going to kill you or the boy! When I was sure I couldn't convince you, I was going to leave this planet! That's the truth, I swear! I'd never hurt my flesh and blood!"

Broly asks, "Yet you'd demean and belittle your late father and mother?"

Raditz insists, "I was trying to sound stronger than I really was! Please, Kakarot, you have to believe me!"

Yamcha screams, "Don't listen to that creep!"

Raditz hollers, "I'll never come back! I promise!"

Goku's will loses and he let's go. Raditz rises to his feet and elbows Goku in the face, with a smile on his face. When Goku falls, Raditz jumps onto him and proceeds to crush his ribs with his foot. Piccolo snorts, "Always way too trusting."

Goku's screams of pain is heard throughout the battleground, freezing everyone in place. Raditz cackles, "What are you cowards waiting for?"

He turns to Goku, and proceeds to scream over and over again, "Beg for mercy!"

Eventually, he tires out, and screams, "TIME TO D-"

There's a crash, and everyone turns, and sees Gohan had just ripped open the pod and jumped right out of it, with all the rage a living being can display. Everyone is shocked seeing the four year old somersault onto the ground. Broly stammers, "He destroyed Raditz' ship. Meaning he can't flee…"

Piccolo screams, "Goku! Look by the crater! It's your son!"

Tien adds, "And he's very angry!"

Yamcha insists, "Twenty zeni says it's Raditz he's mad at."

Raditz blurts out, "Impossible...His power level won't stop rising…"

Gohan's face twists into a snarl as he's enveloped by a red aura, "Leave my daddy...ALONE!"

He launches at the dumbstruck Raditz and crashes into his chest, smashing his armor. Raditz is barely standing while Gohan lands with a dud. He picks himself up with his original innocent look, like nothing had happened. Tien had to ask, "What happened?"

Broly guesses, "He must've tapped into some rage, and like a berserker, he forgot once it ended."

Raditz limps over to father and son, "Nobody so weak has ever done that to me."

Goku states, "No! Stay back!"

Yamcha adds, "He's just four years old, creep!"

Tien charges, "I'll get him, Goku!"

But he didn't make it as Raditz backhands Gohan across the field. He makes a quick step to change direction and goes straight for him. Broly charges at Raditz, tapping into as much of his true power as he would allow himself. His muscles were bulging, his eyes white, even his hair started to turn neon blue. He grabs Raditz by the face and throws him around. Raditz thinks to himself, 'Where did he get this power!? He was barely registered by the scanners when he was born! Was there a malfunction!?'

He proceeds to make Raditz into a humanoid hacky sack and starts kicking him around the field. He lands a few inches from Gohan, and Broly prepares to crush him in a bear hug, but Raditz grabs Gohan by the tail and holds him up, ending Broly's rage, and forcing himself to concede. Raditz smirks, "You and your damn bleeding heart will cost you. And for an abomination, no less."

Raditz prepared the finishing blow...Only for Goku to commit a full-nelson, locking up Raditz' arms and legs with his own. Raditz screams, "YOU WRETCH! I SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU!"

He squirms to get free, but you can hear the ribs Gohan broke causing him pain. Goku screams, "Piccolo...You're attack...DO IT!"

Everyone looks to Piccolo, who's been charging it the whole time. He smirks, "Don't worry about me. Just keep him still. And DON'T listen to anything he says this time!"

Tien and Yamcha grabs Yamcha's arms to stop him from squirming. While Broly shrugs, "You gotta give Goku more credit, Piccolo. Fool him once shame in you. Fool him twice shame on him. Alright Goku, you can let go now, let Tien and Yamcha take it from here."

"No!"

Everyone stares at Goku, who explains, "No...Tien and Yamcha don't have the power to hold him if I let go. So I'm stayin' right here."

Raditz questions, "Fool, how do you expect to dodge?"

"Simple. I don't."

Raditz goes pale, "WHAT!? THAT'S INSANE!"

Piccolo gloats, "What's another saying, Broly? Two birds, one stone?"

Broly nods, "Yep. Bet you're happy right now."

Piccolo shrugs, "Not really. That just gets rid of one competition. There's still you. Besides, I wanted to beat Goku fairly, not like this."

Raditz begs, "Kakarot! If you don't let go we'll both die!"

Goku questions, "What's wrong? You seem scared, brother."

Broly asks, "You made it sound like Saiyans preferred death over failure. Does that make you a hypocrite, Raditz?"

This got Raditz mad, "I'LL SHOW YOU A HYPOCRITE, MONSTER! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!"

"It's time! SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"

And the drill of light pierces Raditz and Goku at once. Having a giant hole in your chest...Feels exactly how you'd think it'd feel. Everyone watching, save for Gohan, are having their eyes go out of their skulls like in old saturday morning cartoons. Raditz lands, screaming, "Damn you all!"

Goku was chuckling, since he won the fight. Broly smiles for Goku, "Always seeing the silver lining, I take it."

Goku lands on his back, while Raditz lands on his front, the earth below them becoming red. Broly gives out orders, "Tien! Yamcha! Go to Goku! Give him as much energy as you can to keep him living for just a little longer!"

Yamcha points out, "But that blast took out his heart! He won't make it!"

Broly nods, "I know. But Bulma and the others are on their way. They'll wanna say goodbye."

Tien and Yamcha go and take Goku's hands, with them glowing, giving what little energy they have. Raditz is squirming on the ground, "Kakarot...How could he...It makes no sense...The fool…"

Piccolo gloats, "Simple. You'll die alone. Goku won't be gone for long. His friends will see to it he's back within the week."

Raditz blurts out, "What? Impossible! Tell me how…"

Piccolo smirked, "Gladly. On this planet, we have mystical dragon balls that can grant any wish when all seven are gathered. Including bringing the dead back to life. Don't you see yet? It's Goku who'll have the last laugh."

Raditz begins to start laughing, "No, I'm afraid you're wrong, green man. My scouter is more than a power level detector. It's a communicator...And you just told that to the other two saiyans alive. They've heard everything since I got here. No doubt they'll come here for vengeance and use the Dragon Balls to revive me."

He coughs up a lot of blood, while everyone's coming to grips with his statement, "Once they arrive, you'll be powerless to stop them...Because they're stronger than me."

"When?"

Everyone looks to Goku, who continues, "When will they be here?"

Raditz answers, "Around one year. Enjoy this victory while you can...Because armageddon is coming to this world. Looks like I get the last laugh."

Raditz cackles. Piccolo couldn't contain his rage, and crushed Raditz' skull. Broly and Piccolo stands over his corpse. Broly takes the scouter, and tries to out. He presses a button, "Hm...The language does feel familiar. But I can't understand it. It's useless to us. But not Bulma. She can make it read other languages. And speak of the devil. She's here with Roshi and Launch."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Across the cosmos, on a ruined planet, sits two conquerors. One of them speaks up, "Raditz sucks. He wasted a good saibaman and himself just to stop six weaklings."

His ally points out, "He's a disgrace. You heard what he was called, a hypocrite. He lived as one he died as one. He let that big ego of his get the better of him, that's how he was beaten."

The first man speaks up, "I say we go teach them a lesson for crossing us."

The second man assures, "A waste of time. But those Dragon Balls sure are worth the risk if you ask me. Plus that woman Broly mentioned when he put on the scouter, Bulma. If she can change languages in a technological system she can't understand, it'll earn my respect, and maybe a place by my side. Earth is a curious world. Think of the possibilities we can get from that dirtball, once we learn how to find the Dragon Balls."

The first man nods, "Yeah, we could restore planet Vegeta. Maybe even Raditz."

The second man lowers his head, "No. That's too simple. And a waste of a wish if you ask me. I'm thinking about immortality."

The first man chuckles, "Living forever. Might be interesting. If we can't lose if we can't die, what do we need Raditz for?"

The second man adds, "And once we become immortal...We'll become the legend...The Super Saiyan...The defeater of Chilled...And we'll destroy his descendant Frieza just as easily as the legend goes. And become rulers of the galaxy for all eternity."

They enter their ships and take off for Earth.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Back on Earth, those present at the field surround Goku, while Bulma carries a sleeping Gohan, and Krillin's corpse, wrapped in the weighted clothing, is carried by Broly. Broly assures, "We'll wish you back, Goku. Gohan will be in good hands. But...We will miss you, old friend."

Goku chuckles, "See you...soon…"

He closes his eyes for the last time in this life. And just as suddenly as he dies, his and Krillin's bodies vanish into thin air. Roshi screams, "What in the world!?"

Broly thinks aloud, "There's only one person in the world that can do that…"

Piccolo adds, "What's your plan, Kami?"

Bulma asks, "Kami took them?"

Piccolo answers, "That's right, that meddling old fool. I don't know why, and I really don't care."

Roshi adds, "That makes since, he is the guardian of the Earth after all. We can take comfort in knowing his intentions are good."

Broly shrugs, "I think we should at least look for the Dragon Balls as soon as possible."

Bulma asks, "How was this guy able to find Goku, there's seven billion people on the planet."

Broly tosses the scouter to Yamcha, who hands it to her, "He used this. He calls it a scouter. He wore it on his face around the eye. It detects power levels and is a communicator."

She snatches it from him, "Thank you, Mister Tease."

Yamcha mopes, "Why do I have to suffer?"

She inspects it, "It looks like it got damaged, I'm gonna try messing with it."

Tien admits, "If this gets working, we might be able to recruit strong warriors."

Bulma adds, "I agree, but let's get Gohan home. Chi-Chi's probably worried sick."

Broly turns to Piccolo, and he blurts out, "What the-!?"

They look and see Piccolo regrowing his lost arm. Yamcha covers his mouth, "I think I'm gonna get sick."

Piccolo asks, "Before you leave, I have a request to make: Let me train the boy for one year."

Tien snorts, "You've got to be kidding, you expect us to leave Goku's son with his most hated enemy?"

Piccolo smirks, "Yes I do. You fellow fighters saw him, he had enough power to break Raditz' bones when we couldn't even make him break a sweat. That could mean he's the most powerful being on this planet. He'll be useful in the upcoming battle."

Broly admits, "He's got a point."

They all look at him in shock, who defends, "Come on guys, we'd coddle him with Chi-Chi being worrisome. Any parent is like that. Take Kami for example, he trained me to be as strong as Goku when we first met, but he was cautious because of my beserk state."

Broly offers a handshake to Piccolo, and he says, "I'll be catching up with you two every now and then, though."

Piccolo turns away, "Fine, whatever."

He flies away with the sleeping Gohan, while Broly smiles, "Well, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Roshi sweats, "I don't know what's worse: Gohan being left with him, or the fact we have to tell Chi-Chi everything."

Meanwhile, Goku and Krillin are learning that the afterlife is not what they expected. Kami is in the middle of the haloed two, telling of what is about to happen to Earth to King Yema, a colossal red skinned man in a nice suit with horns. He asks, "Please, King Yema, I beseech you to allow these two to train with King Kai. With your position of course."

King Yema reads over two clipboards, "Son Goku, and Krillin. You two have quite the life story here. You have enough merit to at least try to reach King Kai. But are you two ready to travel along Snake Way?"

They both nod, unsure, to which the king smiles, "Very well. They can try. Somebody send a guide with them. And don't fall off the way or you'll end up in hell with that arrogant Raditz. And there's really no coming back."

The two are driven to a snake statue that goes off far into the distance, it's body forming an endless squiggle. Krillin asks, "H-How long is this thing?"

The guide states, "The furthest I've heard is ten thousand miles, but nobody knows for sure."

Krillin sweats, "I had to ask. Me and my big mouth."

Back on Earth, Broly is getting an earful from Chi-Chi, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOKU'S DEAD AND GOHAN'S TRAINING!?"

Broly explains, "I mean there's a massive attack coming, and we need all the help we can get. So Goku and Krillin are in the afterlife getting training, and Gohan is getting training from Piccolo."

Chi-Chi starts crying, "MY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY IS WITH THAT HORRIBLE MONSTER!"

Broly adds, "If it makes you feel any better, you can come train with us."

Chi-Chi glares, "If my son is hurt, at any point. You will be going to pee sitting down from now on."

Broly leaves, whimpering, "Women scare the ever loving crap out of me sometimes."

Broly flies off, and flies next to Yamcha and Tien. He tells them, "Alright, we're gonna need all the help we can get. Yamcha, you go and pick up Yajirobe, we're probably gonna need him. Tien, talk to Bulma about making something that can help us get stronger. Maybe a super senzu bean, or a custom training room."

Tien asks, "What about you?"

Broly admits, "I've got an idea."

He flies off to Orange City, where he uses a couple zeni Launch gave to him to buy a more common look: A T-Shirt and jeans. He then goes to the cities more upscale neighborhood, and knocks on the door of a single house. A man answers the door, a tall man lined with muscles, with a curly black afro and a matching mustache and sideburns on his cleft chin. The man asks, "Yes?"

Broly asks, "Are you Mark 'Hercule' Satan?"

The man nods, "Yeah."

Broly offers him a handshake, "Hi there. My name is Broly, I was in the 23rd world martial arts tournament several years ago. I saw your performance in the 24th, and I'd like to ask if you'd like to hear a proposition?"

Hercule shrugs, "Uh, sure. Come on in."

He calls out, "Videl, we have company!"

A little girl with a round face and black hair in pigtails comes running in. She's probably a little older than Gohan, given how small she is. She hops into Hercule's arms, who explains, "This is Videl, my daughter. She won the junior division of the 24th."

Broly smiles warmly, "Man, junior division. You'd think that after me and my friends entered all those years ago they'd have start doing that."

Hercule's eyes widen, "You mean Sun Wukong and Kuririn?"

Broly chuckles, "Actually, they're names are Son Goku and Krillin. Actually, they're the reason I'm here."

Broly explains, "Earlier today, me and a few of my friends, two of which you just revealed you knew, were in a fight. It was against an opponent that defeated Piccolo."

Hercule sweats, "You mean the Demon King?"

Broly nods, "The same. We managed to beat the opponent, but now others that are stronger are coming. I was hoping you could help?"

Hercule's eyes flash, "Sign me up."
