A/N: Espeon804 here with another great chapter! Here's the final one-shot! (I know it's now November 1st. So what?)
Happy belated Halloween! (Is that a thing?)
Anyway, this is the final one-shot! Let's take a list off of what this is based from!
This is focused early in book 1! Chapter 4 is placed here… but we get Gohan's side as well!
Book 1: "The Wrath of The Earthling Saiyan" (2015) I wrote that when I was 15 and going on 16, so it's not as detailed… and a few chapters aren't too great. (In my opinion)
Book 2: "The Retaliation of The Earthling Saiyan" (2015-2016) 16 going on 17. Better than last book. I learned a lot.
Book 3: "The Forgotten Past of The Earthling Saiyan" (2016 - in progress) Working on this now. 17 going on 18. :P
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DB, DBZ, DBGT, DBZKAI, OR DBS! Akira Toriyama is the true author!
Key:
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Enjoy, and check out book 1!
-Espeon804
- Halloween Special 3: When the weremonkey howls at night. -
Kakarot looks up to the sky and takes note in the many starts in the sky. After a while he spots the moon, completely full, and huge. The moon has always caught his attention with or without a tail. He must be drawn to it by instinct because no matter how many times he looked around it in the past months, it is always fascinating to look at. "This is the biggest moon I've ever seen!"
His brother starts to laugh crudely. "A full moon has appeared so soon? How often do you have one here?"
"Well, we have one at least twice a month. The moon stays on the same phase for two days straight." Kakarot answers. He has a feeling that something big is going to happen.
It's great news for Raditz. "Well then, I'll ask you this; Do you want to see something cool? The extension of every Saiyan's power?"
He's curious, but the idea on what Raditz is talking about hits him. "You're talking about you and the moon. Sure! I want to see just how powerful you guys can get. I'm missing out on a lot am I?"
He nods once. "Naturally, a Saiyan is more powerful under a full moon even if they don't transform. I think it's time for lesson number 2. I'll show you why people fear us brother. But I must warn you, as soon as I transform, I'll go straight to a rampage... not unless you can calm me down. Then I can gain control of my own instincts."
Meanwhile, Gohan snivels and wipes his arm across his nose as he finally wakes. He slowly stands and rubs his eyes with his wrist. "Bathroom…" It's the first word that comes out the 4 year old's mouth.
A bad feeling sinks deep into Kakarot's stomach. "But how?! I killed my own adoptive grandfather when I transformed! How can I stop you?!"
"When we transform, we lose reasoning and rely on instinct. No matter how hard they try, anyone's pleas cannot reach our ears. Not unless, they understand our native tongue. Relatives are most likely to succeed with that process. I seen it happen many times before."
"I was raised here on Earth. What makes you think that I understand that language? I never heard it before!"
"Oh yes you have. You just don't remember."
Kakarot now feels dumbfounded. He just heard words that he never heard before come out of his brother's mouth. It's so new to him, but at the same time, it sounds so familiar. He just understood every word he said. Now his head hurts again. All that Saiyan past stuff is too much for him to take it in one day. He never learned so much at such a short period of time. But, Raditz is right. He heard it before. In fact, when he gets very agitated he would say a few words that his wife would be confused about. His former friends even told him once that when they got him drunk celebrating his marriage with ChiChi, he became very aggressive and if bothered, he would snap at anyone, speaking out sentences filled with unheard of words. It freaked them out. It was probably the most they ever saw him so angry. He was told that Master Roshi tried to hit on his wife and so he hurled the elder right through a wall.
"Do you understand me Kakarot? Or is your mind a bit slow in catching things?"
Kakarot stumbles a bit. He knows that this is one of the things he has to easily accomplish important he wants to please the other Saiyans. He had to think hard as the words try to formulate themselves out his mouth. "I do understand." He says. He switches rather quickly. "I actually do. I know that I had spoken it before."
"Good." Raditz says with a slight amused look. He switches back to the common language. "I believe that your son has went through his own metamorphosis on his own but, no need to worry. You should be more concerned about yourself."
Gohan seems saddened as he finishes his business in the ground. He slips back on his pants, and he pouts. "I don't get it. Why does my uncle have to be so mean? Did I do something wrong?"
A pause.
The child blinks at the sight of his own shadow. "Huh? Why do I have a shadow? It's night. The sun isn't out yet." He looks left and right, and he finally looks up. His eyes spot the full moon lighting the darkness of the night. He intakes a breath of awe. "Oh, wow! That's the biggest moon I have ever seen!"
He didn't quite get it? Worry about himself instead of his son? It seems all so wrong. He was about to protest but his ideas change when he sees his brother studying the glowing white round moon in the night sky. A second later Raditz's eyes changed from its natural onyx color to a bloody red. Kakarot takes a deep breath, ready to accept whatever will become of Raditz. He has to do this. It's probably another test for him, only this time it involves situations when your own allies could turn against you... at least, that's the idea.
"This... will get... disturbing for you..." Raditz forces his words out, already having difficulty speaking. In fact, he seems to have difficulty breathing. His tail lazily falls from around his waist and droops down, occasionally beating in some kind of rhythm. His body starts to jerk and throb along with his hard heartbeat that is headed loud and clear. It beats irregular as the pace quickens. He gasps as if he forgot how to breathe for a second.
"R-Raditz?" He wasn't kidding. This is definitely freaking Kakarot out.
The child smiles. "It's so round… and bright! It must be a full moon! I've never seen one of those… befo-" His words fail to come out any further. He gasps and his eyes widen as if he had fallen into a trance.
For some reason… the moon is like a magnet. He can't take his eyes off it.
… and… it feels like the moon is telling him something.
He follows the feel… and his body jolts as his eyes begin to glow red.
Still hanging on to the what remains in his reasoning, Raditz growls while giving his brother a look that reads; "Stop worrying so much!" After that he looks back at the sky as his lungs release an enraged inhuman scream filled with nothing but anger.
That moment, Kakarot knew that Raditz is consciously gone.
Gohan gasps again as his body shakes. His small muscles suddenly grow into a higher mass. The clothes slowly rip, and his eyebrows arch with anger. His gasping turns into snarling as his bared teeth grow into fangs. Just as he begins to grow and his clothes tear apart, he throws his arms down with an enraged scream.
Kakarot takes a step back in shock and horror as he hears the snarling and screams continue. He watches in disbelief as Raditz's body grows buffer than it already was. Then he grows. Black fur starts to cover his exposed skin, and what is hidden under the expanding armor. His tail whips around powerfully, enough to snap a tree in half. His ears grow large and pointed that can hear for miles. His nails grow into black claws that can tear flesh without any effort. His bearing teeth grow into powerful razor-sharp fangs, and Kakarot doesn't even want to think what the older Saiyan could do with those. His nose grows longer until it's a snout. His entire eyes is now glowing red, striking paralyzing fear into anyone who dares to look. He is unrecognizable. It's almost impossible to tell it's Raditz at this point now that he's in full fledged monster form! "No! This is unreal!" Not even words can support how he feels at the moment. It is real, no matter how he looks at it. He does add one thing he has to accept.
And afar… Gohan is going through the same change.
"So this is the gorilla monster my grandfather used to tell me about, only... I took this beast's place... It's hard to believe that I can do that..."
Now completely changed, Raditz roars loudly in the form of the Oozaru. Not even half a second passed and the first thing he does is slam his arm against a cliff, taking it down without even half trying. He opens his mouth and a lethal ki blast shoots powerfully from it, vaporizing anything that came into contact put and crumbling anything nearby. This is repeated several times.
The young child Gohan once was is now a full-fledged monster. It roars and howls at the sky before the cliff side gives in to his weight. He falls to the ground, and anger fills him further. With a mighty roar, he swings his arm and takes down the entire cliffside. He tramples down boulders and fires blasts from his mouth.
Kakarot stays in his place, watching the destructive scene. Boulders are hurled here and there, more cliffs are taken down, craters are formed into the ground... He cannot imagine what would happen if he decided to betray his own race. They probably would've vaporized him! His ki is overwhelmingly strong. He never felt anything like it!
Raditz suddenly stops, now sniffing the air. A low growl is heard as he slowly turns around and spots the tiny figure watching him. Annoyed by this, he roars again and slams down his fist.
At the same time, Gohan pauses and growls, turning to the direction he can hear similar commotion. With no reason, it relies on Instinct. He marches forward.
Kakarot jumps out the way in the nick of time. His monsterized brother tries again as he leaps into flight. He manages to dodge most of the attempted swats, but just barely. Just when things couldn't have gotten worse, Raditz unleashes another blast. He dives down, nearly facing death as the blast whizzes over his head, only taking off a centimeter of hair. It won't be noticeable thankfully, but still, for the young brother, he would've been done for! He flies away several feet to gain distress like he did when they spared before. Raditz is still in there somewhere. He knows it. "RADITZ! RADITZ!"
The only answer he gets is another blast.
"Woah!" He ducks and it whizzes over him again. He knows that it won't be long until he finally catches him. He tries to remember what he was told before this. Unfortunately at the moment, he can't!
He hears a distant roar from elsewhere. Unlike Raditz, it's not as deep but it's still frightening. Kakarot can feel it's energy too. It's Gohan- Karot actually. He too must've took the form of the Oozaru and, he's having his own tantrum problems down there. The situation is almost bleak. He doesn't know what to do-
Being raised on Earth has many disadvantages for him it seems.
Gohan races across the field. For some reason… he feels further enraged. The presence of another beast is nearby, and it just angers him. He rushes across in all fours, trampling like the gorilla-like monster he is.
He can see it. Further ahead is another beast with a long mane, fighting a small bug.
With bared fangs, it charges forward to attack.
A/N: Finally finished!
… okay… the Raditz portion was from Chapter 4 of "The Wrath". This one-shot might be the shortest, but whatever. We got to see Gohan's side a bit… Though the reality is… most of those scenes are similar to Kai.
I'm sleepy.
