A/N: Yayz XD this story is actually doing good so far :D

Dragon Ball Z is owned by Akira Toriyama, I own nothing except my own OC and ideas.

"You've grown up. I recognize you, little Kakarrot . . ."

Kat stood beside Bulma and Krillin, never had she felt anything like this.

"Kaka-rrot?" Goku replied unsurely.

"That's right, that's your name," the man replied in a smooth voice.

"What?" everyone wondered.

"Who is this guy?" Krillin asked.

"This guy's on crack," Kat added, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Kakarrot what have you been doing here all of these years? Your mission was to exterminate all life on this planet. Why haven't you carried it out?" the man demanded.

Goku looked just as confused as everyone else.

"I told you he was on crack," Kat shrugged.

"Listen mister, I don't know who you are but you've obviously got the wrong guy," Krillin stated as he walked towards the man.

I have a bad feeling about this, Kat though, a great unnerving feeling flooding her.

The man smirked and chuckled as Krillin walked towards him. "Shoo, shooo," Krillin waved him off as if he were some bug, "I think you've been dippin' too much in the eggnog, allow me to escort you off this island."

Before she could even blink, something shot out from the man and hit Krillin hard across the face causing him to fly back and crash into the boards of Kame House.

"Krillin!" they all shouted. They looked back at the man and their eyes widened in shock at what they saw . . .

"A tail!"

This man had a tail!

"I don't believe it! This guy's got a tail too!" Goku gawked, trying to keep Gohan away but the boy was insistent on being with his daddy.

"So you finally remember who I am. I wondered how long it would take you to recognize me," the man said as his tail moved back and forth behind him.

Goku was having trouble trying to get Gohan to stay back so Bulma quickly went and peeled Gohan off of Goku's leg.

"Please Gohan, stay back. We don't want anything to happen to you so please stay calm," Kat whispered while Bulma embraced the small boy in fear.

"Kakarrot! You mean to tell me you have no idea who I am?" the man asked.

"I have no idea who this Kakarrot person is whom you're looking for but I'm not him. My name is Goku."

The man looked almost disgusted. "What happened to you?"

Gohan broke free from Bulma's grasp but Kat quickly grabbed him. "Gohan please," she pleaded. He must've heard the urgency in her voice for he seized in his struggles.

"Gohan stay with Kat and Bulma," Goku ordered.

"Kakarrot! Tell me, did you ever suffer a serious injury to the head when you were young?" the man demanded.

"W-what?"

"When you were a kid did you ever hit your head!" he said as he took a few steps closer.

"Yeah, I don't remember it very much but you're right, I did hit my head as a child."

"You stupid fool! You forgot!"

"I forgot? Forgot what? Tell me!"

"Goku," Master Roshi spoke up getting both the men's attention. He then explained how Goku's grandfather found him in some strange pod one day and that he took him in and that he was a wild uncontrollable little baby until one day he fell into a ravine and badly injured his head but somehow miraculously survived. After that he turned into the happy loving boy he is now.

"I'm from outer space?" Goku questioned.

"Yes," Roshi nodded.

"Well that would explain a lot," Bulma said.

"So do you think Goku has some connection with this guy?" Kat questioned, pointing behind her towards the smirking man on the shore.

"I wish I knew," Roshi replied.

"Okay, you've got my attention. Now tell us who you are!" Goku demanded.

"Well I wasn't expecting to give a history lesson when I came here today but alright, I'll tell you everything. After all you are going to be working for me from now on and I do like my subordinates to be well informed," he said as his trail wrapped securely around his waist.

Krillin then slowly got out of the little hole he made through Kame House previously. "Hey you alright?" Kat asked her friend.

"Yeah, be careful, this guy's not . . . normal."

Goku nodded then turned his attention back to the man, "Believe me I know. I could sense that from the minute he landed. Even now, standing here talking to him like this, something about him turns my stomach."

"Such harsh words. Careful, you're more like me than you realize. You were born on the planet Vegeta. You are a space fighter, a Saiyan warrior. Just like me."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. This couldn't be true! Goku? A space fighter? Unbelievable!

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Raditz, your big brother."

Even more shock. Especially from Goku.

"Goku- has a brother?" Krillin stated in shock.

"Goku, he, he looks like you," Bulma added.

"Why should I believe you?" Goku questioned trying to keep his cool.

"Yeah that's right. What the heck is Goku doing on Earth if he's from another planet?" Kat asked.

Raditz chuckled then looked at her. "That's simple. We sent him here. Kakarrot was given specific orders to clear this world of its current inhabitants, a mission in which he has failed miserably."

"Huh?" Goku was slightly confused at that.

"You see, us Saiyan warriors are sort of like planet brokers. We scour space for planets that will bring a high price on the galactic market. Once we find them we send our warriors to purge them of any life and make them ready for sale. It's a very, very profitable business and we take great pride in being efficient in our work. For planets with strong inhabitants we send our adults but for tiny low level planets like this one, one of our babies is more than enough to carry out the task."

"I don't know about you guys but these Saiyans sound like complete assholes," Kat said making sure to add emphasis on the assholes part. "Just how could you send little babies off into space all alone?"

Raditz smirked as he looked at her and Bulma's general direction. "Ha! Trust me; they are more than capable of looking after themselves," he said as he stared down at her and Gohan. "Well almost all of them. Kakarrot you are a disgrace, you could have easily wiped out everything on this planet by yourself. If you hadn't forgotten your orders it could have easily taken you a year or two at the most . . . especially considering this planet has a nice big moon," he said looking up at the sky.

"Don't tell me I was supposed to destroy that too."

"You fool! You know just as well as I do that it's the key to unlocking your full potential! Don't tell me not even once in your life you've looked at the full moon."

Everyone was listening to Raditz's words in shock. He knew about the full moon transformations! It all made even more sense now.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Raditz clenched his fists as he looked at Goku, and then noticed that he didn't have his tail! "Wha- what happened to your tail Kakarrot!"

"My tail?" Goku wondered, looking behind him to where his tail once was. "Why."

"Answer me now!"

"It was removed, permanently, a long time ago," Goku answered.

Raditz shook with rage, "Do you have any idea what you have done?" He clenched his fist towards Goku, "Your true power is gone now. Without your tail you've lost your ability to transform at the full moon. Now I can see how you'd be on good terms with these weaklings."

"Listen, this is my home, and these are my friends, so it doesn't matter what you say I am . . . and you sure don't act like any brother I'd want to have. My name is Goku and this is my home, so go and leave us alone!"

"Yeah!" they all shouted behind him.

He then walked towards Kame House and everyone got out of his way as he did. "So baby brother wants to be left alone. By this point I'm afraid you're far too valuable for that, for you see three years ago our home planet Vegeta was met with an unfortunate accident when a giant comet crashed into its surface, destroying the planet and killing everyone."

Kat was on edge as he walked around as if nothing while explaining that there were only four Saiyans away from the planet when it was destroyed – one of which was Goku. He then went on to explain how they were currently short on man-power and that they needed his help in conquering a planet that would bring a very high price.

"Absolutely not!" Goku stated firmly. "There's no way I'll ever join you!"

Raditz was staring at Goku thoughtfully when he noticed something quite interesting standing right behind Goku – his son.

"Tell me Kakkarot, I couldn't help but notice that your son has a tail. Ah, like a true Saiyan. I'll tell you what, if you won't join us, I'll take your son instead," he said with an evil chuckle as he slowly approached.

Goku got in a fighting stance to protect Gohan as well as Kat and Bulma who were with Gohan. Suddenly Raditz seemed to have disappeared but then quickly reappeared with his knee deeply into Goku's gut, causing him to fly back onto the shore of the small island.

Gohan, after watching his daddy beat like that and now withering in pain, ripped away from Bulma and Kat and ran towards his injured father.

"Gohan no!" Bulma and Kat called. Kat ran after him but just as she was about to grab his little arm, she was beaten by none other than Raditz. The poor boy began to wail frantically as he was being held out by Raditz. Kat then felt a large hand on the juncture of her neck and shoulder and the next thing she knew, her legs felt weak and everything went black.

"Kat!" Bulma, Krillin and Roshi cried out.

Raditz grabbed her around the waist with his free hand before she fell to the sand below. Now not only did he have Kakarrot's son but also one of his dearest friends. Oh how he knew things were going to work out his way now.

"I'll tell you what Kakarrot," he began as he stared down at his brother's injured form, "If you ever want to see your son and pretty friend here, you'll have to kill one hundred humans in twenty four hours. You can stack them on the shore here so I can count them tomorrow. However, if you fail, this would be the last time you see these two. And besides, I think it's about time your son spent some quality time with his uncle," he laughed darkly as he rose up into the air looking down at them all on the small island. "One hundred humans Kakarrot!" he shouted down before flying off.
