FriTik: Well *ahem* this may be a tiny bit late.

Computer: "Tiny" doesn't even begin to cover how late this is.

FriTik: Oh shut up you're one the reasons this is so late.

Computer: Me?

FriTik: Yeah you. You're the main villain in another story I'm working on.

Computer: Well shit. Which story is this one?

FriTik: Don't you mean "Well *ERROR*"?

Computer: Oh hell no.

FriTik: Oh *ERROR* yes.

Anyway I really am sorry for the wait, once again I just lose motivation to do things. I do get back to them it just takes me time. But hey it's here now and if you want to rage at me please do so in the review.

Goku stared off after where his so called brother had just flown away with his sons.

"I need to go after them", He said with determination.

"We're with you Goku" Master Roshi said. "Right Krillin?" He asked looking at the bald monk.

Krillin paled and stuttered a bit before looking down and thinking, Oh who am I kidding? Goku's saved my butt plenty of times but I'm not sure how useful I can be. But I can try!

"No guys." Goku suddenly said snapping Krillin out of his thoughts. "You two have both been brought back with the dragon balls already. If you die it's for real this time."

He walked over to Gojie who was just staring blankly out at the sea. "Gojie sweetie." She blinked and looked up at her father and then suddenly she burst out in tears.

"THEY'RE GONE" she cried into her father as he kneeled down to her level. "They're gone" she repeated "That mean man's going to kill them and then he's going to kill us and then everyone else", she balled.

"No he won't", Goku promised, "I will get your brothers back and stop him from hurting anyone honey believe it.."

"I highly doubt that!", A voice called from above.

The group glanced up in surprise. Floating there with his cape billowing in the wind was Piccolo.

"Oh great" Krillin complained "Now we have another problem."

"Oh shut up" Piccolo told him, and Krillin backed away nervously. Piccolo then turned to Goku, "Listen Goku, for once I'm not here to kill you. That alien, that saiyan." Piccolo paused, "You can't beat him. Not by yourself." He added after Goku opened his mouth with a comeback

"As much as I hate to say it I don't stand a chance against him either. Which is why I propose an alliance." Goku's eyes widened in surprise.

Bulma looked angry, "Yeah right you'll probably just attack him while his guard is down!."

Piccolo smirked at this, "Oh I would love to but I can't beat this saiyan either." His look hardened. "Believe me Goku there would be no such team up if it wasn't necessary but this world is mine to conquer and rule and mine alone."

"So then we team up and afterwards go back to the way things were?" Goku asked.

Piccolo again smirked, "Glad we could understand each other."

Goku looked at his friends, "Guys I need you to watch Gojie" He looked at his daughter who looked like she wanted to protest her eyes still red. "Gojie I know you want to help but I would feel better knowing you're safe I promise I'll get your brothers and everything will be okay."

Gojie still looked like she wanted to argue but looked down after a moment, "Okay daddy." She looked up again and then hugged his leg, "i love you daddy."

Goku placed a hand on her head (her hat had fallen off during her tantrum) and ruffled her hair a bit."I love you too sweetie. I'll be back soon."

"Oh enough of the cutesy stuff" Piccolo interrupted their moment. "Let's go Goku before I change my mind."

Goku nodded, then looked to the sky, put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "NIMBUS!" Almost immediately the little cloud came putting along. Goku jumped in the air did a flip and landed neatly on it.

He grinned at Piccolo, "You sure you can keep up with me, Piccolo?"

"Please" Piccolo said, "My method of travel is a bit more advanced than yours." He floated up into the sky next to Goku and said, "Try to keep up." Then flew off with Goku hot on his trail.

Bulma went to the sniffling Gojie and picked her up, while Krillin collected the kids hats and put Gojie's on her head.

Master Roshi stared off into the distance where the two had flown off thinking to himself. Those two working together. Amazing! They have got to be the strongest team in the world!

Meanwhile "Uncle Raditz" was not having a fun day. Not at all.

Things had started off well enough. He had arrived at the planet his little brother was supposed to have purged completely fine with no ship malfunctions. But when he stepped out he found the planet was still teeming with life! And from there things had just gone downhill. He had discovered another alien on the planet who was utterly pathetic and then when he found his brother it was only to discover he was just as pathetic!

Man it felt good to say that about someone else.

But then he discovered that his brother had completely forgotten his mission! What a failure! And oh how ironic he so closely resembled their father Bardock who was a near legend in the PTO for how even a third class like him had risen to almost the power level of the king! But Kakarot was just pathetic refusing to hurt a single human!

Not to mention now he had to deal with Kakarot's half breed brats.

"YOU'RE A JERKFACE"

Oh what fun.

He brought them to where his ship had landed and was now facing the two.

He regarded his nephews. One of them was a complete just wouldn't shut up He was certain that was the human blood in him.

The other however was trying to act tough. Hence the "jerkface" comment. However the brat was still trembling but at least he was trying. Raditz could relate to that. He decided this one was his favorite.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. What was he thinking? Taking his nephews like that. Real smart move Raditz now you gotta deal with these two until tomorrow. He should have just taken one, or maybe his niece hopefully she would've been quieter. He winced as the crying got louder.

"You whiney brat, SHUT UP!" He shouted at the crybaby one.

Unfortunately this just made him cry even louder than before.

"HEY don't yell at Gohan jerkface!"

"Maybe this will help you two need to understand exactly what you're dealing with here." He picked up the farmer's truck with in one hand and then used his ki to destroy it.

This managed to shut Gohan up as well as cause the wannabe tough guy to fall backwards in surprise.

"Finally, now listen up brats! You're going to be waiting here with me until tomorrow after your father kills one hundred humans. From then I'll decide what to do with you." Raditz told the brothers.

This got Gohan crying again and the other to start mouthing off again.

Raditz having had enough decided to put the two in his pod.

"Ah finally some quite" he said out loud to himself. A habit he had acquired years ago doing one man purges. Having no one to talk to save the locals who were normally screaming "You monster!" and "Murderer." and other self esteem lowering terms could do things to a man's mind. Or a woman's mind. Basically any individual.

Suddenly his scouter started beeping. He muttered under his breath as he pressed a button on the side. "WHAT" he shouted in shock, "A power level of seven hundred and twenty?! Within fifty meters?!"

He followed his scouter until it landed on the pod. "What the hell?" he asked, he double checked the reading one of the brats was at a power level of ten but the other was the one had a power level seven hundred and ten!

"Gah this thing is busted", He told himself. No way that could be right, he thought.

He turned away again only to be distracted by it going off again! "Now what?!

"A power level of six hundred and fifty? This thing is definitely on the fritz."

But as the power level got closer his eyes widened, "No not six hundred and fifty but two power levels." He stared into the distance. "One is a power level of three hundred thirty, Kakarot has a power level of three hundred thirty but he wouldn't be coming here!"

He turned his scouter off, "Damn thing is completely haywire. How would Kakarot even know where I am?"

A few moments later he was greeted by Kakarot and the green-man from earlier.

"So Kakarot what are you doing here so soon? I don't suppose you managed to kill one hundred humans and came here to tell me?" He said cockily, but silently he was reeling. The scouter was right! But that means it wasn't broken! How could either of Kakarot's brats have a power level of seven hundred ten?!

"I'm here for my sons Raditz, we don't have to fight just give them to me and I'll let you leave in peace." Goku demanded.

"Sorry Kakarot but that's not how it works. But if you're so sure I guess it my job to beat the lesson into you little brother." Raditz countered.

"You caught me by surprise before. This time will be different! Also my names not Kakarot it's Goku!" Goku raised his voice at the end.

A loud thumping sound distracted the two saiyans and they looked to see that Piccolo had taken off his turban and cape. He cracked his knuckles, "Ah much better I feel much lighter."

"Oh yeah Piccolo I forgot that you wear weighted clothes!" Goku said and proceeded to take off his own weighted garb as well.

Raditz eyes narrowed through his scouter having seen both power levels jump a decent percentage with the loss of the weighted training gear.

"Well then" Raditz said, "It looks like your power levels are more or less equal so tell you what", he smirked "Why don't you both come at me at once! You might even be able to give me a decent workout."

And with that Goku and Piccolo charged him with shouts.

Raditz was suddenly behind them and knocked them both to the ground but they sprang back up and leaped at him. So he flew into the air.

They altered course and soared up at him. Raditz then charged a double sunday attack and shot it down at both of them.

Goku cried out in surprise and Piccolo let out a small gasp as the blasts came by.

"DAMN, that was a close one, you alright Picco-" Goku cut off and stared in shock at the stump of Piccolo's arm. Raditz landed and laughed loudly, "HAHA HAVE YOU SEEN MY ARM? IT'S GREEN CAN'T MISS IT AHAHAHA!"

"Goku we can't win like this" Piccolo said, "I might have an attack but I need you to distract him for a little while."

"Can you do it with one arm?" Goku asked.

"Yeah don't worry about me though you have a bigger problem. It's funny though I was always planning on using this on you."

"Funny how things work out." Goku said and then charged at Raditz again. Piccolo put two fingers to his forehead and began charging his attack.

Goku threw a series of blows at Raditz the latter either blocking or dodging every last one of them.

He then kicked Goku up into the air. Goku cupped his hands and began chanting.

"KA-ME" a glow started to form between his hands.

Raditz scouter beeped, "What it's over one thousand!?" It beeped again and he turned to Piccolo, "Him too?!"

"HA-ME" Goku continued the glow getting more intense.

"THEY CAN RAISE AND LOWER THEIR POWER LEVELS AS THEY PLEASE!" Raditz declared.

"HAAA" Goku finished and unleashed the powerful beam at Raditz. Raditz realizing their was some danger to be had from this attack to the sky trying to get away. But the beam followed him no matter what maneuvers he pulled.

He eventually stopped on the ground and brought his hand up bracing it with his other arm. "ALRIGHT LET'S HAVE IT!" he shouted.

The beam hit with a mighty explosion.

When it cleared Raditz stood there breathing heavily his hand thoroughly singed.

Goku stared in shock, "No way… I though that would at least hurt him a little."

"My my little brother I am surprised I didn't think you had it in you!"

Suddenly his scouter went off yet again. He turned to where Piccolo stood in shock. "No way with that power level that attack could actually kill me!"

"Special beam cannon!" Piccolo yelled and let loose the attack at Raditz.

The beam created a cloud of smoke where Raditz stood and off in the distance it hit a mountain creating an even larger cloud.

When the smoke cleared Raditz was still standing but his shoulder plate was broken and his shoulder seared.

"He-he dodged it" Piccolo stammered in shock.

Raditz now thoroughly done with it started ranting at the two.

Goku landed next to Piccolo and asked, "Do you have enough energy for another one of those attacks?"

"Yeah, but what's the use he'll just dodge it again.

Goku looked him in the eyes, "I have an idea."

While the fight outside had been going on two little four year old saiyan hybrids were cooped up in a space pod.

"Gohan it's okay", Gokan tried to calm down his slightly younger brother. "Daddy's outside you heard him he'll get us out of this!"

"But what if he can't" Gohan said tears in his eyes. and his fists clenched."What if he gets hurt?"

"He won't he's the strongest guy in the world" Gokan told his brother putting a hand on his shoulder only to pull it away quickly. Gohan's shoulder was incredibly warm.

Before he could say anything they heard their father crying out in pain outside. "Daddy!" they cried. Gokan started banging on the glass trying to get it open while Gohan started shaking in rage.

Suddenly he exploded upward destroying the pod and tossing Gokan across the crater while screaming, "LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!"

Raditz turned in shock at his little crybaby nephew as he suddenly came flying at him slamming into his chest damaging his armor further and knocking him away from Goku.

Gohan landed on the ground and Goku partially pushed himself up in shock, "Gohan how did you…"

"Daddy" Gohan said coming over to his father. Goku then heard Raditz getting up and said, "no Gohan leave! Get away!"

But Gohan wouldn't leave his father and then Raditz was over them. "Dumb brat!" he shouted and backhanded Gohan across the field.

Gokan having gotten out of the crater rushed toward his brother and started trying to help him get up.

"Raditz wait!" Goku said, struggling to drag himself. "He's just a kid don't hurt him!"

"He's also one of the few warriors to manage to damage me!" Raditz said angrily. But secretly thinking I can't have yet another saiyan stronger than me! Especially a crybaby brat like this!

He then raised his hand and sent a blast toward where the brothers were.

Gokan noticed it almost as soon as Raditz sent it and realizing the danger pushed Gohan out of the way not even thinking of the consequences.

A second later he was consumed by the blast, leaving nothing but dust.

To those of you who didn't read the original posting of this story...

I'm not sorry for that.

At all.

What so ever.

Anywho, I'm not making any promises about the next update because quite frankly, I don't trust myself to follow through.

And now for reviews.

Leo the Zodiac: I was actually quiet tempted to discontinue this story as my writing style has improved by some amounts and I felt like this was just a failure. But, I decided that I wanted to get this done even if it takes awhile. If I can make it past the Cell Games I think I can trust myself to finish it. Anyway hope you're still reading despite my hiatus.

Cruzerblade: Glad you found it and hopefully you're still interested, don't worry those two won't be mary sues/gary stues. I have plenty of other characters to fill that role xD (JK but I do worry I might accidentally make one).

CrystalZap: I don't think I have improved this all that much, I've actually felt the occasional urge to delete everthing I have and start from scratch but I feel that might be counter productive.

And that's all this time folks! See you around!
