"Oh my god!" Kat groaned as she entered Kame House. "I'm going to go lie down upstairs."

"I'll help you Kat," Oolong said slyly.

"I already sent one pervert to infinity and beyond. Don't think I can't go for two even in this condition."

Oolong gulped. "Ehe, on second thought-"

"Here, let me help you Kat," Chi Chi said as she accompanied Kat upstairs.

"I was just trying to help," Oolong shrugged nonchalantly. "Say, does Kat seem a little fuller to you guys? And why was she with Raditz just now? Sheesh, it looked as though they were an item. Heh, could you imagine that."

Everyone just stared at Oolong with blank expressions.

"What?" he questioned.

"You really are a clueless pig," Bulma sighed as she hung her head.

"Thanks Chi Chi," Kat said as she lied down face up, her belly quite evident.

"Don't mention it," Chi Chi waved. "I see you've gone into the maternity clothes," she commented.

"Yeah, they feel so much better on my belly," Kat gently rubbed her belly. "I'm barely three and a half months along but I feel as if I'm farther. I can distinctly feel a tiny little energy if I focus solely on it and I can also distinctly feel small movements."

"Three and a half months huh?" Chi Chi said softly in thought. "You seem to be at four, four and a half- almost five."

"Exactly! But no, three and a half. It kinda worries me sometimes. And I know I shouldn't because stress isn't good for me right now but I can't help it. Either this is going to be a big kid, or I'm not having just one."

"Now that I think about it, I was exactly the same with Gohan."

"Really?" Kat propped herself up on her forearms.

"Yeah, I didn't pay it that much attention seeing as how not every pregnancy is the same. But hearing what you're telling me, I'm beginning to think it's something different and you and I are the same."

". . .Wait, Gohan is half Saiyan. This baby will be a half Saiyan too. So could this weird pregnancy crap be due to the fact that they have Saiyan genes?"

"Possibly," Chi Chi said, beginning to think about it. "That seems like a very reasonable answer."

"Well just look at them. Raditz is tall as hell and quite built and muscular; not all lanky as you would expect a really tall person to be. Goku is a bit tall too but not like Raditz. He's also very quite built and muscular as well. Well that's to expect from a race of fighting warriors if you think about it. Hell, even Gohan. He's like five, five-and-a-half, right? And last time I saw him, even he had his little muscles going on as well."

"That is a very good point. Well the good thing in all of this is that the child is nice and healthy. Don't worry about it too much."

"Thanks Chi Chi. It really feels nice being able to talk like this."

"Well we are technically in-laws," she smiled.

Kat laughed softly as she lied back down. "That is true."

"Gohan! Get ready! It seems those Saiyans are coming," Piccolo called out.

"Guys!" Krillin greeted as he landed next to the two.

"Krillin! You're here!" Gohan greeted.

"Hey Gohan. So, how was the training with Piccolo?"

"It wasn't that bad. Mr. Piccolo really pushed me but I do feel a lot stronger than I was before. How was your training Krillin?"

"It was great. I feel even stronger than before! And maybe if we do somehow end up miraculously surviving, perhaps I can ask Kat out on a date," Krillin said quite confidently.

"Um, I wouldn't do that if I were you, Krillin," Gohan said slowly.

"W-why not?"

"Well, umm, I don't think uncle Raditz would very much agree to that."

"What? Why not? Wait- you don't mean?"

He got his answer by looking at the young Saiyan's face.

"Aww man," he grumbled. "And here I thought I actually had a shot."

"Heh, you're already shot down and the Saiyans aren't even here yet," Piccolo mocked.

"Who's not here yet?" a voice up in the sky called out.

Everyone looked up to see two figures, wearing similar armor as Raditz, floating up in the sky.

"Hope you're all ready to die," the big one said as they touched town on the ground.

"So you guys are the Saiyans?" Piccolo questioned.

"Hope we didn't keep you waiting too long," the big one grinned, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hopefully they used the time to reflect on their final moments alive on this planet," the shorter one smirked.

"Hey Vegeta, let's check out their power levels," Nappa said as he check each of their power levels with his scouter.

"Those readings are useless Nappa; they can hide their power levels. I have a better way of testing out their power levels. Plant the Saibamen."

Nappa followed the order as he poured some liquid into the dirt. Slowly, green plant-like creatures began to come out of the ground.

"W-what are those?" Piccolo questioned as he took a fighting stance.

It seemed like they were outnumbered until Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu arrived on the scene.

As Raditz was flying towards the battle, he could sense an increase in energy which meant that the party had started. Time to pick up the pace! He was getting closer, just past that mountain. . .and. . .there!

He floated up in front of the sun, surveying the scene. Huh, so he's a few minutes late, the Saibamen are already out, and someone already dies.

Everyone looked up at the shadow in the sky.

"Now who could it be?" Vegeta wondered, annoyingly.

"Is it? It is! It's my uncle!" Gohan sighed in relief.

"WHAT? RADITZ?" both Vegeta and Nappa exclaimed in shock.

Raditz touched down next to Gohan and Piccolo and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Well aren't you early?" Piccolo said sarcastically.

"Bite me green man, I had business to attend to. Now, don't tell me these filthy Saibamen are giving you trouble?"

"One of them, killed Yamcha," Krillin gritted.

Yamcha? Why could he still not remember who that was? Well no matter who he was, he sure sounded disappointing. He glanced over at the small hole in the ground that had the body of whom he presumed to be Yamcha. He shook his head, disappointing. He then turned toward the two Saiyans and couldn't help but smirk at the surprised expressions on their faces.

"Raditz! You're alive!" Nappa called out.

"Well would you look at that, I am. What's with the surprised faces? Surely you didn't expect me to die."

"What are you doing? Siding with those pathetic earthlings!" Vegeta clenched his fists.

"Well you see, I don't like working with you. Simple as that. I'm doing things my way now, without your commands, prince."

"You choose to side with those earthlings, fine. We'll just have to kill you too."

"Have at me then," Raditz smirked.

Vegeta was clenching his fists to the point of nearly dislocating his knuckles.

"Nappa, kill them all!"

"Alright Vegeta, but I'm going to have some fun first. I didn't sit crammed in that tiny pod just to end it all so soon."

"Do as you like Nappa but make sure they're all dead."

"Well alright!" Nappa grinned as he looked over and challenged someone to fight him.

"I'll be your opponent," Tien stepped up.

"So that leaves us to deal with the remaining Saibamen," Krillin took a stance.

"Tch," Raditz kept his arms crossed not really paying much attention to the lowly Saibamen. He wasn't interested in them; his attention was on the prince. Tien had begun his, losing, battle with Nappa as the others struggled against the Saibamen. It was then he noticed a Saibaman jump out from a crack in the mountain and lunge towards Gohan. The boy was frozen in fear that he had no time to react; thank god his uncle came to his rescue.

Raditz held the frightened Saibamen by its wrist. "You filthy vermin really are starting to annoy me now," he said in a low and dangerous voice as he blasted it point-blank in the face. There was another nearby. He stood firmly as another charged for him but again he blasted it point-blank in the face.

"Thank you," Gohan looked up at his uncle.

"Always be on your guard," Raditz said as they all turned their attention to Tien's losing battle seeing as how Krillin and Piccolo had defeated the rest of the Saibamen.

Vegeta's brow furrowed. Those Saibamen each had the exact same power level as Raditz. If that was the case, then why was he able to defeat them with such ease? Unless. . .he had gotten stronger since the last time they had seen him. Ha, that was impossible! That weakling? Get stronger? Please.

"Hey, where's Chiaotzu?" Krillin wondered looking around.

"Look! Up there!" Gohan pointed up at Nappa and sure enough Chiaotzu was latched onto the larger Saiyan's back.

"What is it doing?" Raditz wondered. It surely had no chance up against Nappa. He got his answer when an explosion sounded and smoke completely engulfed Nappa. So the little guy had sacrificed himself for the sake of saving his friend. Quite foolish. Could they not sense Nappa's power? And here he thought they were the ones good at sensing energy.

As the smoke was clearing, they could evidently see that Nappa was only slightly damaged from the blast. He then continued his attack on the heavily injured Tien when Krillin and Piccolo joined the fight and managed to sneak attack the large Saiyan.

"Hey, not gonna lie, dick move guys, dick move," Nappa said as he wiped some blood off of his lip. "But it makes it more fun!"

Raditz could see Krillin and Piccolo thinking of a plan as he continued to watch on the sidelines. He wouldn't just jump right in the battle like a fool. Oho no. He would wait until the opportune moment, when the timing was right. That way he could deal with that fool Nappa and the short prince.

"A-aren't you going to help them, Uncle Raditz?" Gohan asked timidly as he continued to watch his friends get beat up.

"In due time," Raditz shrugged nonchalantly.

Just then both Krillin and Piccolo were knocked to the ground after their multi-form technique failed.

"Good effort guys but unfortunately it wasn't good enough," Nappa said with a grin.

Out of the corner of his eye, Raditz could see Tien slowly get up and begin to charge up an attack. His eyes widened slightly, Tien barely had any energy left and yet he was charging up more than he could handle. If he fired that he would surely-

"HAAAAA!"

-die.

Tien fired his attack, successfully hitting Nappa. He was breathing heavily and his energy sharply dropped.

"I'm sorry, Chiaotzu. I. . .failed you," he breathed out before collapsing.

Raditz furrowed his brow. He could not sense any energy at all. Tien had died from exhaustion. Looks like he was going to have to enter the fray sooner than he had planned to.

"Aha, pointless," Nappa laughed as the smoke cleared.

Krillin gulped. First Yamcha, then Chiaotzu, now Tien. Their chances of winning, their chances of surviving appeared very slim.

"We're gonna die, aren't we?"

"Aha, ye- OWWW!" Nappa hollered out as he was kicked into a nearby mountain. "Who has the nerve?" he growled as he got out from the small crater his body had made. He looked around for his attacker.

"Well would you look at that. It appears as though my foot slipped on your face," Raditz spoke with a smug expression as he got into a fighting stance.

"Raditz!" Nappa bellowed as the two large Saiyans clashed with an array of kick and punches.

"It looks like they're evenly matched," Gohan said in awe as he looked up at the fight.

"No, Raditz is getting the upper hand," Piccolo commented as he noticed Raditz's attacks connecting more than those of Nappa. With one final hit, Raditz successfully knocked Nappa down to the ground. He charged up ki in his hands and sent many scatter shots down towards Nappa.

"Look out!" Piccolo called out as they moved out of the way.

"What would Kat say if you killed us all!" Krillin coughed due to all the dirt and dust in the air from the attack.

"Please, how pathetic would it for you to die in the crossfire of my attack. As for Katherine, you tell me baldy. What would she say?" Raditz challenged.

"I don't know but she'd be really mad!"

"Krillin!" Piccolo snapped.

"What?"

"Shut up!"

"Fine," he grumbled.

"Oho, that was good Raditz. That. Was. Good," Nappa laughed as he got up. "But now it's my turn!" he fired a large ki blast but Raditz easily deflected it away.

Hmm, since when has he been this strong? Vegeta thought as Raditz and Nappa charged at each other once more. No, he was definitely not this strong before. He was now curious to see the extent of Raditz's new strength. And there was only one way to do that.

"Nappa!" Vegeta called out. "Leave this fight to me. Go take care of the earthlings."

"Very well, Vegeta," Nappa replied regretfully, actually wanting to fight Raditz.

"The prince himself is stepping up to fight me? Oh what an honor," Raditz said mockingly.

"Yes be very much honored, because I usually don't waste my time on weaklings like you!" Vegeta replied as they began to throw punches and kicks at each other. . .

"Alright guys, where were we?" Nappa breathed out as he looked down at the three.

"Krillin! Let's go!" Piccolo called out as they charged at Nappa. . .

"I must say, you have gotten stronger," Vegeta laughed as he easily blocked Raditz's attacks. "But still nothing compared to me!" and with that he successfully landed a kick to Raditz's stomach, knocking the air out of him, then with both fists, sent him crashing down into some nearby hills. Hahaha no one compared to him!

"J-just you wait! When G-Goku gets here, he'll really t-teach you guys a lesson!" Krillin stammered as he struggled to get up.

"Is this Goku any strong?" Nappa questioned with interest.

"My dad is the strongest!" Gohan proclaimed.

"I see. . . Vegeta!" Nappa called out to his partner.

"What Nappa! Don't interrupt me when I'm in the middle of something!" Vegeta exclaimed as he landed a few punches.

"Can we take a break?"

Vegeta once again knocked Raditz down to the ground then looked down at Nappa.

"What?"

"I want to meet the strong guy!"

"What strong guy?"

"The one they call Goku. They say he's really strong- stronger than everyone here! He might give us a better challenge."

The thought of fighting someone even stronger piqued his interest.

"Very well," Vegeta agreed, going back to the spot where he had been watching the battle. He picked up his scouter and placed it back on his ear. "You've got three hours. If he doesn't arrive by then, we go back to killing you."

Raditz got up and dusted himself off. EVERYONE had so much faith in his younger brother. Was it truly possible that Kakarrot could be so powerful? Surely he had continued his training but would it be enough?

The three hours were almost up and yet there was no sign of Goku. Raditz was beginning to have his doubts about his brother. Everyone had so much faith in him but, would he even show up in the first place? Goku this, Goku that. That was all he was hearing as he sat cross-legged, trying to meditate and restore some of his power. He never thought that meditating would ever be oh so helpful as he concentrated and felt his energy slowly coming back to him.

He peaked open an eye when he heard someone approaching him and was a bit surprised to see Krillin standing there.

"Is there something I can help you with?" he asked as he slowly stood up and towered over the small man.

"I liked it better when you were sitting down," Krillin murmured.

"Well?" Raditz crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, I- um-"

"Just let it go Krillin," Gohan sighed as he glanced over at the two from where he was resting alongside Piccolo.

Krillin sucked up whatever courage he had at the moment and looked Raditz dead in the eye. "I just wanted to know if it's true about you and Kat," he said boldly, his heart beating faster than when they were fighting.

"Oh?" Raditz smirked, thinking of his pregnant mate. "Katherine you say? What exactly is it that you want to know baldy?"

"Is it… is it true that there is something going on between you two?" Krillin could feel his legs shaking. Standing toe to toe with Raditz was just as scary as facing the other Saiyans.

At this Raditz chuckled. "Of course there is little man. That woman belongs to me. If you have a problem with that then you can settle it with me right now and have your life ended right at this moment."

"I told him to let it go," Gohan shook his head. "Should we tell him Miss Kat is also pregnant?" he asked his mentor.

"I think it's best if we let him find out on his own," Piccolo glanced at the two.

Krillin swallowed. "Well-"

"Three hours are up! Time for you all to finally die."

"Phew thank god," Krillin sighed. "No! Not that, what I mean is-"

"Shut up," Raditz rolled his eyes feeling the greatest urge to slap the smaller man into the mountainside.

"Yes sir," Krillin immediately shut up.

"The strong guy didn't make it," Nappa deeply sighed, really hoping to fight someone challenging since Vegeta was taking on Raditz.

"No one is going to come and rescue you," Vegeta taunted, "Now, this is where you meet your end."

Piccolo and Krillin had no time to react as Nappa charged straight at them.

All that left was Raditz and Vegeta. Raditz wasted no time in making the first move and so their fight was soon underway. . .

After much fighting, it was obvious that the two Saiyans had the upper hand.

"So Piccolo," Krillin uttered as he struggled to stand up after being knocked down to the ground, "Do you have any kind of a plan?"

"Actually, I do," Piccolo replied in a low voice. "Remember their weakness, their tail. I'm going to charge head on and grab his tail. Then it'll be up to you to attack him with all you've got."

"Right," Krillin nodded. This might actually work.

"Alright let's go!"

As Raditz fended off Vegeta, he noticed out of the corner of his eye Piccolo grabbing a hold Nappa's tail. Fools! What were they thinking! No- What was he thinking? He had never informed them that his former comrades had fully eliminated their weakness.

"Fools! Watch out!"

But it was too late. After realizing that their hold on the Saiyan's tail had no effect at all, Nappa began to effortlessly pound on Krillin and Piccolo leaving only Gohan to fend for himself.

"Gohan!" Raditz called out but was quickly silenced by a deep knee to the gut courtesy of Vegeta.

"Don't take your eyes off me you pathetic weakling!"

As Raditz struggled to get up, he couldn't help but notice his nephew's ki begin to rapidly increase as his small body began to tremble. Only a single thought danced around in his mind.

'Get angry Gohan. Get very angry. And release your anger onto your enemy the same way you had done to me.'

The young Saiyan seemed to have erupted with power as he unleashed a force like no other onto the giant Nappa. Much to everyone's including the Saiyan prince's surprise- Gohan was actually holding his own against Nappa. But just like previous times, that power seemed to have disappeared just as fast as it appeared. Gohan was now breathless as he had just unleashed the strongest Masenko his body could muster. As the smoke cleared, Nappa was not only very much alive still, but also enraged that he had been put on the defensive by a kid.

"Hey Raditz, this kid wouldn't happen to be yours?" Vegeta questioned darkly over at the Saiyan face down in the dirt. All Raditz could do was glare at the haughty prince as the evil prince chuckled darkly.

"I wonder what would happen if this kid were to just. . . disappear," he grinned as he charged up a large amount of power directly towards Gohan.

"Oops," he laughed as he released the attack.

Gohan was frozen in fear as the ball of energy headed straight towards him. Suddenly a figure flashed in front of him followed by a large explosion, the force of which sent him reeling back. Gohan coughed as the large dirt cloud began to settle. His eyes widened when he saw his uncle lying face down a little ways from him. So it was he who flashed in front of him. The young Saiyan immediately ran over to his uncle.

"Uncle Raditz! Uncle Raditz!" Gohan urged, beginning to fear the worst.

Raditz's hands slightly grasped at the earth beneath him. He looked up at his nephew and managed to give him a weary grin along with a weak thumbs up. Gohan let out a huge sigh of relief, very much glad his uncle was still alive. Raditz was alive alright, but barely. He had used up all of his energy in releasing an attack at the last minute to set off Vegeta's.

The moment would be short lived as Vegeta ordered Nappa to finish the both of them together. Nappa was more than happy to oblige as he released one of his more powerful attacks with the full intent to kill. Raditz was too weak to move and Gohan refused to leave his uncle's side, mainly for he was still frozen in fear.

With only one thing to do, Piccolo made the ultimate sacrifice as he shielded both Raditz and Gohan from the attack using his own body.

"Piccolo, why?" Raditz asked, actually addressing Piccolo by his name.

"Heh, you fool. You actually have something to live for. Or have you not realized it yet?"

As Piccolo's life slowly began to fade away, he thanked Gohan for being his one and only true friend. He also apologized for being too hard on him during training. But the only reason he did it was because he truly cared about Gohan and wanted nothing more than for him to become strong.

Raditz was clenching his fists and Gohan was in tears as Piccolo's life completely faded away.

"Aaaand another one down," Nappa laughed as he rubbed his hands together. "Alright now, you know what they say, third time's a charm," he grinned as he charged up another attack but was interrupted at the sound of Raditz's laughter.

"Just what are you laughing at?" Vegeta questioned through narrowed eyes.

"Can you not feel it?" Raditz continued to laugh.

"Feel what?" Vegeta was beginning to get frustrated.

"I feel it!" Gohan exclaimed excitedly.

"Feel what?!"

"He's coming . . . right now," was all Raditz said.

Vegeta clenched his fists in frustration. "Nappa, kill them!"

Just as Nappa was about to release his attack, a harsh wind brushed right past them.

All eyes were on the new figure standing tall in front of Gohan and Raditz.

"Kakarrot."

"Dad!"

"Goku!"

After many hours of fighting, many hours of pain, Goku had finally arrived.
