REALLY IMPORTANT A/N: Espeon804 here with another great chapter. Before we get to the praises, I first have a few messages.
I'M A JUNIOR NOW! GOOD RIDDANCE 10th GRADE! ONE MORE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL! (not yet...)
And...
AHHHH! YOU GUYS ARE CONFUSING ME! ONE REVIEWER WANTS ME TO DO ONE THING, ANOTHER WANTS ME TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THAT REVIEWER SAID! DO YOU KNOW HOW CONFUSING THAT IS?!
I was told to spare ChiChi and Bulma, but another was like "please don't do that" and I'm over here thinking "WHYYYY?! I AM SO CONFUSED ON WHAT TO DO!"
So listen here. I'll have to debate over myself on what to do. Right now I'm just stuck on what to do with the two woman. Honestly I don't like ChiChi because of her over protection and nagging attitude. In my opinion, Bulma MUST be spared for being a genius and all. Still, I don't know what to do. Not mad, just so very confused. Wait! why am I upset about these woman?! I'm technically a young woman too! (No, I'm not one of those DBZ addict fan-girls if that is what you are thinking. I just love the show.)
Anyway, continue your reviews guys! I'm loving it. I ask for you guys to review every chapter so that I can know how well I am doing or how good the story is getting! I still need ideas. This time, they HAVE to be focused on Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta for future chapters!
Good news for you guys. I skipped a few more months so now, Tah-Dah for all you guys, Vegeta will be here! I'm sure that some of you might be a little disappointed because I skipped the few months, but this fic is focused on Goku turning evil and such, so we do want to see the fight don't we?
Fanfiction reviewers:
*Hugodrax: I love the reviews you are giving me! Thank you so much. I can clearly see your opinions and I hope that you keep up the motivation! There will be more surprises for you all!
*aleksej36: I guess you missed on on Chapter 6. If you read near the end then you'll realize that Piccolo survived the attack. I wanted him to come back to make the battles more interesting. I know that if either Kami or Piccolo dies, the other will too.
*Simgr101: Yeah. I am so very confused on what to do because another reviewer wants them to live. There could be a sequel maybe. If there is, they'll live, if not, they won't. I'm not good at planning how the next chapters will turn out. I type straight through imagination and the first ideas that strike my mind.
Wattpad followers:
*RaizenTheArcrosain: I'm doing my best! Thank you for your eagerness!
*eleazar3055: As usual, you are always helping me form ideas! keep them up!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DB, DBZ, DBGT, NOR DBZKai! All rights go to the official and original author Arika Toriyama! If I did own the series, Bulma would've killed Yamcha for chasing after woman by now!
You guys know your jobs! REVIEW!
-Espeon804, the teenager who is happy to be a Junior in Highschool now!
CLASS OF 2017!
-Chapter 7: The Saiyans have arrived! Hang in there Yamcha!-
Raditz's scouter beeps. It picked up a signal. A wide evil grin grows across his face. "Kakarot"
Kakarot didn't hear his brother's call. He is still fascinated about his newly grown tail that he has had for six months. He begged his brother all those months to test out his long lost powers, but he has been told to wait so many times. Radz wanted him to wait until the other two Saiyans touched down on Earth so that they can evaluate his strength. ChiChi and Bulma are still held as prisoners of course. The two Saiyan decided to hold them until the prince has decided on what to do with them.
"Kakarot. They are here."
This time he hears him. He quickly wraps his tail around his waist like he was taught. The younger Saiyan looks at his brother with excitement. He has been waiting a year for this. Finally, after 12 long months of training harder than he has even had in his life, he and his son has managed to increase his strength by 10 fold. It still may not be enough. "One question Raditz. What is my masked power level?"
Raditz checks his scouter and reads the reading he receives. A few seconds later, he almost chokes. "What the-?!"
"Well?"
"It's 1509! I must say Kakarot, if that is your masked power level, you have truly impressed me! All that training has grown you to the Saiyan I want to see! I think it's time brother. You know what I mean right?"
Kakarot shares the same grin as his brother. "Yeah. It's time that we have some fun!"
"They are coming. Prepare yourself. Don't you dare embarrass me." Raditz has his eyes locked on the sky now.
Kakarot nods once. "Right."
10 minutes pass and finally, two floating shadows appear in eyesight. They grow larger until it grows into the shape of one small man and a large man. Then they can see them. The shorter man has spiked hair that points upright. The bigger man is completely bald. They both chuckle as they touch the ground. A few seconds pass and Raditz lights elbows his brother.
"Oh yeah." Kakarot bows in a respectful manner with one arm across his chest like he was taught. "General Nappa and Prince Vegeta, It is a honor to meet you both. My name is Kakarot, Raditz's younger brother."
The shorter man turns out to be Vegeta. He chuckles again, which makes his voice recognizable. "You taught him well Raditz." The prince's eyes trail over to Karot who bows as well rather clumsily as if he's not use to the posture. "And... who is this?"
"His name is Karot sir. He is my nephew." Raditz replies.
"Nephew?" Vegeta takes a step forward and takes note on Karot's swinging tail. The boy wears identical armor as the two low-class warriors. Apparently, Raditz had extra things in stock. Normally it's useless things but this time it paid off. "Kakarot had a brat? You never told me that?"
"His wife is a Human."
Vegeta's face twists as if the news fully disturbs him. "Kakarot, you disgust me." He snorts. "Your son is a hybrid."
"Well, you see sir, I was found by a Human and he tried to raise me. One day I took a hard fall and forgotten everything about me being a Saiyan so I started living as a Human. I thought I was one of them…"
Vegeta crosses his arms looking very disappointed. "Amnesia. You have a very bad case Kakarot. I've heard several stories about infant warriors who were sent off to far-off planets and suffer head injuries that cause them to forget about everything. They become useless because half of them refuse to join us and well, they had to be killed for being a traitor. Consider yourself lucky for making the right choice."
"Do you think that it could be possible that Kakarot can regain his lost memories?" Raditz asks the prince.
"Not that I know of. It is so rare for those to start to remember even hints of their past. But…" A small smirk appears on his face. "You still proved to your brother that you can be a Saiyan warrior through pride. That's not very common to see. You… by far impressed me for a low-class."
Nappa chuckles again as he bends down to reach Karot's level. "Looks like you've been training as well. I see it in you! You have a strong fighting spirit kido!"
"You have no idea." Raditz mumbles.
Karot nods then grins. "So, when will we start? You know, the fighting and such…"
The Saiyan general laughs. "Right… now! Take a look Vegeta!"
Vegeta turns on his scouter and his smirk deepens as he reads the readings flickering on the screen. "Looks like they've been waiting for us!"
The five Saiyans look up to the sky and see Krillin descending from the sky. He is the first to arrive. He gulps loudly, realizing the mess that he just got himself into. "Wait a minute… there's more of you?!"
"Afraid now aren't you short man?" Raditz snickers. "I forgot to tell you about these two. They a far stronger than I am. How does that sound?"
"That doesn't scare me!" A voice shouts from the sky.
"Krillin!" A smaller voice calls.
Krillin looks above him and spots two of his friends landing next to him. "Chatzou! Tien! Hey! You made it just in time!" He glares at the Saiyans waiting patiently yards away from them. "Looks like we got a little more on our hands huh? It was 3, but now it's 5."
"3? 5? Makes no difference to me." Tien says.
Next comes Yamcha who lands with his back on his friends. He does a heroic spin around to face the Saiyans. "What's up? Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Yamcha!" The tone in Krillin's voice tells everyone that he is relieved to not be the only one.
"And don't you dare forget about me!" The deep intimidating voice calls out from above. Everyone looks up, spotting the green man with a waving white cape.
"P-Piccolo!" They shout.
"You should have expected me to arrive here." Piccolo's eyes dart to Kakarot's direction. "Especially after what that Saiyan has done to me a year ago. I won't let that go unpunished. Don't think that just because I am fighting alongside you fools does not mean I am your friend or any of that ignorance. I just don't want these creeps to interfere-"
"With your conquest of Earth. We get it." Kakarot interrupts him. This is rewarded with a few surprised looks from his former friends. "Can we just go straight to the fighting now?"
"I can't believe what has become of you… why would you just turn against us like that Goku?"
"Why does everyone keep asking me that question? The answer is obvious." Kakarot growls. "I've been waiting for a whole year for this chance. I don't want to wait another second!"
"Patience Kakarot. Let them speak their minds out if they want. This could be their last words." Vegeta says.
"Tch. Speak our minds out. You take me as a weak fool don't you? Don't feel so cocky because that goes for you too!" Piccolo grumbles with a clenched fist. It's clear that he won't tolerate anyone who has the same goal as him in mind.
"Oh? Cocky you say? That's funny coming from someone like you green man." Vegeta looks at his comrade Nappa. "Hey Nappa, I think our friend here is a Namekian. I recognize his voice from the transmissions I got from the scouter." The prince tapped the screen a couple times as if they have no clue on what he is talking about. "I can see why Raditz had a little trouble from the likes of him"
"Okay… so… What's a Namekian?" Piccolo wonders aloud.
"I've heard rumors that Namekian hold special talents. They can pull off a few tricks, almost like a magician. He must be the one who created these so-called "DragonBalls" I believe."
The Z-Fighters gasp. How does he know about them?
- Kami's lookout-
"Oh, Kami…" Mr. Popo says with big concern. The guardian of the Earth is trembling somewhat.
"Mr. Popo… for the first time I've finally heard of my origin. It's true… I am the one who created the Dragon Balls. For years I've attempted to make such a magnificent item. When I succeed, I finally felt as if I were home… or as if, a piece of home has found me." Kami sighs and walks a few paces away from his spot. "I'm afraid that it won't be long until Goku tells him everything he knows about them. The Saiyans will certainly use the balls to their advantage. Then again, there still could be hope for you all, but… not me unfortunately."
"You mean…"
"This is the day that Piccolo or I will die. I can sense it strongly. Unless they spare him, the world is in sake. I pray that Goku will see reason and once again become our hero, but the chances of that happening is so slim. His heart is strongly clouded with hatred and is no longer pure. I can sense a great deal of evil emanating from him. It won't be long until it fully consumes him…"
-The Warzone-
"I wonder if this fairy tale I've heard about such a magical item is true. We'll soon get answers." Vegeta says.
Piccolo snorts. "Well, you're looking at the wrong guys. First, I never made the Dragon Balls. Second…" he gets into a stance. "I am no magician. as you can see, I am a warrior. All of you are wrong if you think you can defeat us with your Saiyan power!"
"But this here is interesting… one… two… three… four… and five. What do you see here?"
"Five of us each." Karot points out quickly. "That mean we're even."
"Interesting." Raditz says. "What do you think? How will we handle this situation?"
"I have the perfect idea." Vegeta says this as if he's a genius. "Each of you will fight one of us. Sound fair right? You know, like a game. It should be fun."
As fair as the plan sounds, Piccolo isn't up for it. He growls as his clenched fist tightens. "You are a fool if you think that we're going to play your stupid little game! We'll take all of you at once!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Let's not rush things!" Krillin warns him before things can really go out of hand. "This game may just be the only chance we have on saving the Earth. Besides, you wanted to fight Goku for yourself right? This is your big chance after all." After the Namik calms down, Krillin crosses his arms with a frown. "I can't believe I had to say that to my enemy."
"Sound good to me." Tien stretches his arms as he walks into the center of the crowd. "I could use a little warm up."
Nappa gives out a long hard laugh. "Good! Fresh meat for the grinder!" He grins at his comrades. "Warm up huh? I believe that the only ones who'll suit that is the brat here. You're up kid!"
Karot gulps as he points to himself. "You mean… me?"
"Isn't that what I just said? C'mon!" He shoves him forward and Karot yelps. "Get in there and prove to me that you are Saiyan enough to handle some real combat! Or is it your Human half that's clouding your judgement?"
Karot shakes his head. "No. I won't back down. I know that I'm strong!" He walks forward until he's a few paces away from Tien. "I'll take him down right now!"
Tien doesn't look even a tiny interested about this. "Isn't he Goku's boy? He sure does talk big for such a young kid."
"Hey! Don't underestimate me! I can be scary and strong just like my dad! You'll wish that you never messed with us!" Karot shouts.
"That's the spirit boy!" Nappa cheers on.
"Remember the training Raditz gave you! Don't hold nothing back!" Vegeta orders.
Karot takes a deep determined breathe. "Okay!"
"It's sad that this kid is being raised on the wrong path. I think it's time I teach him a lesson." Tien cracks his knuckles and sprints at the kid with a battle cry. He thrust his hand forward that only has two fingers up. A powerful force blows Karot away. he doesn't give the boy the chance to stand. He lunges at him and kicks the kid away. karot lands face-first on the ground which skids his crash to a stop.
"You've got to be kidding me! This isn't all you got!" Napps shouts angrily.
Karot breaths heavily as he rises to his feet. He wipes his mouth with his arm and glances at it. It is smeared with blood. He glares at Tien with a growl.
"Getting upset?" Tien asks. "You're the one who decided to join these guys. I can't imagine you - Gohan - being evil, but life is full of surprises."
"Full of surprises huh?" Karot spits. He lunges at Tien and swiftly and kicks him hard on his chest. Tien falls to the ground stunned, not expecting such an ambush. Karot is satisfied. He has proven his point.
"How did I allow that to happen?" Tien huffs as he gets to his feet. He snaps his head at Kakarot's direction as he laughs his silly laugh.
"This is too funny! The look on your face!" Kakarot laughs. "You just got kicked down effortlessly by my 4 year old son. It's a shame." His silly grin grows dark suddenly. "That makes you look weaker than you actually seem Tien. I feel sorry for you. If this is how it is for the rest of the earthlings then this is a waste of time!"
"He did not just say that!" Krillin yelps.
Raditz is just as surprised as the Humans. Did his little brother who once protected the earth just called them "weak"? Did the word "earthlings" actually came out of his mouth or was Raditz hearing things? He even mentioned how a waste of time it would be if the fight is a breeze. It's actually happening. The Saiyan who was called Goku is now showing his Saiyan pride. It's about time.
"Goku! You can't do this to us! You can still turn back! Fight alongside us so that we can protect the Earth and rescue your wife and Bulma!" Yamcha calls.
Kakarot waves away Yamcha's words. "I'm not going back. Sorry, but I'm with who I belong. I'm a Saiyan Yamcha, and I will do what I was destined to do, not the other way around. Not anymore. I'm disappointed with myself for believing all these years that I was the strongest boy on Earth and to think that I was a freak because I was the only one who had a tail. Now I know why." He takes a couple steps forward. "You guys removed my tail because you were afraid of the abilities that I held with it. I agreed with it then, but this time, I won't."
"What are you talking about? The last time you had a tail, you was 15!"
"Things are different now."
"What?"
Raditz laughs for a second. "Kakarot. Would you kindly show these Humans the one thing that you received after they stole that power from you years ago?"
Tien's eyes widen. "You don't mean...?"
Kakarot gets into a stance. "Sure. Why not?" He glares at Piccolo. "I'll have to finish what I started anyway."
"It's about time you decided to show your face around me Goku!" Piccolo huffs.
Kakarot lunges himself towards Piccolo, taking his turn on the battlefield. His eyes catch a movement from the corner of his view.
"No you don't!"
The voice belongs to Krillin. Kakarot spins around and a foot strikes his lower jaw and he nearly falls back but he stays in flight. Then comes Yamcha who punched him on the chest. They are gaining in him to slow him down. Annoyed by this, he kicks the monk away. Yamcha grabs hold on to his arms and locks in but after a few struggling moments, he is simply whipped away. "What was that suppose to be?!" Kakarot shouts. "Wasn't we all told that we are taking turns here?! You guys are being unfair!"
"He's treating the fight like a game. I despise it." Piccolo spits. He looks around him in notice that the Humans are either mouth dropped or shaking in great fear. "Now what's the issue?"
"I-I don't understand! How did he grow it back?! I thought Kami permanently removed it!" Krillin shouts in disbelief. "Goku's tail! It grew back! How is that even possible?"
"Let's just say that one of your former friend's earthling friends was willing to create an antidote for it." Raditz explains. "She was a bit stubborn at first, but after some convincing, she got the job done."
Yamcha narrows his eyes. "How dare you do this to Bulma! I'm going to make you pay for that!"
"Alright! I'll go!" Krillin gets ready to jump in there, but Yamcha puts an arm in front of him. "No Krillin, I'll handle this. You've been wished back to life with the Dragon Balls before haven't you? If something happens to me, then we know that there's a chance that I'll be coming back."
"Really?" Raditz looks at his brother, then back at Yamcha. He bursts out in laughter. "You must be pulling my tail! According to my scouter, you won't stand a chance against me!" He stops and grins. "But… I guess you can try."
"Tell me where they are!" Yamcha demands.
"If you want to know, defeat me first." Raditz accepts his challenge.
Yamcha doesn't hesitate. He charges at the Saiyan with great speed, and Raditz does the same to Yamcha. It seems as if they disappeared in mid air.
Karot gasps. He looks around in hopes that his uncle would show around but he can't see them anywhere. He can only hear the clashes of them fighting and their shouts. "Th-they're gone!"
"No they're not Karot. They are just moving super fast." Kakarot explains. He focuses his attention on the sky and his eyes dart in many directions as if he can clearly see them. "Try to sense their energy like I taught you. Let your body take your surroundings. You are the only one who can't see them."
"I am?" The young Demi-Saiyan realizes this when everyone else is turning their heads all in the same direction almost every second. He takes a deep breathe and tries to sense the two in combat. "See with my body, not my eyes." The line was taught to him from his father so that he can remember what exactly to do. After a moment he can hear the clashes more clearly. Then he sees faint movement. Then, he finally sees them sparing heavily and violently as they try to land an attack on each other. "I-I can see them!"
Yamcha tries his best to land a hit, but occasionally, he's the one who takes the damage. It bothers him so much that Raditz has resemblance to Goku. They are brothers after all, but it reminds him on how he can't seem to ever beat him.
Raditz seems to be enjoying himself. He smiles every time the weak earthling shouts out in pain when he takes a hit. He punches him square on the face and as Yamcha covers it in pain, Raditz uses the opportunity and locks his hands together, slamming them both on the Human's head and watches him fall towards the ground. Somehow, the Human springs back up with a raised fist. Raditz cleverly snatches his arm and throws him to the sky. As the Human descends, both hands are cupped to his sides. "Wait a minute…" Raditz is familiar with that posture.
"KAMEHAMEHA!"
Raditz's scouter beeps and shows the increase of his opponent's power level. The blast is just about as huge as his brother's when he first fought him. "So he knows that attack too! Same result!" He trusts his arms forward to shove away the blast like he has done a year ago. It explodes and instead, he is shoved to the ground.
"Yeah!" Chatzou rises both hands into the air.
"Great job Yamcha!" Krillin parishes.
Several yards away on a cliff, a news crew is broadcasting this live.
"Whoa! Did you see that?" One member shouts in awe.
Yamcha lands on the ground with a victor filled smirk on his face. "Well, I guess you Saiyans aren't as strong as you think you are. I'll gladly take all of you on."
"Really? That would be interesting to see, but I'm afraid that we won't have the chance." Vegeta replies.
"What?" Yamcha is a bit confused, but that confusion is replaced with fear as Raditz jumps over him and lands right in front of him without a single scratch on him! "HUH?!"
Raditz laughs again. "So that was all you had in you I see. Pitiful!" He kicks the Human to the ground. "Even though, it was effective in kicking up dust."
"So you're bringing up that joke again?" Piccolo growls.
Yamcha quickly stands. "That's it! I'm not tolerating this any longer! I'll just get Bulma myself!" He takes off into the air and flies towards the direction she is in. "I'm coming Bulma!"
"No you idiot!" Piccolo shouts.
"Hey! He's breaking the rules!" Kakarot points out. "I hate rule breakers!"
"And so do I." Vegeta simply says. He points his first two fingers at the fleeing Human and they glow for a second and a blast is shot from it. It hits Yamcha directly and explodes.
"YAMCHA!" Krillin shouts.
The smoke clears, revealing the Human curled into a ball lying on the ground. He's horribly wounded everywhere, and his gi is torn in many places. Krillin rushes over to him and gets to his knees. He presses his ears against his friend's back and his face widened when he doesn't even hear a heartbeat. "H-He's gone…"
- The Kame House -
Everyone else is watching the fight on international television. They all stare in disbelief for they friend has fallen.
Puar latches on the screen crying as his little fist pound on it. "No, Yamcha! Please tell me that this is not true! Yamcha! Please don't! Yamcha!" He continues to cry out his best friend's name, refusing to believe that he is dead.
- The warzone -
"How disappointing. He just had to run off like that instead of fighting. So loyal to another earthling." Vegeta sighs as he drops his hand to the side.
"That wasn't what I wanted to see! I want to see him fight!" Nappa shouts.
"Easy Nappa." Vegeta warns him to not cross his line. "Let's just give them a moment to clear this trash from the battlefield."
Hearing that, Krillin stands with a angry look on his face. "How dare you." He bends his legs. "Okay everyone, stand back! I'm going to teach these jerks a lesson!" He glances back at Yamcha and says; "This is for you buddy." He rises both hands into the air and yellow ki crackles there. He is determined to avenge his friend's life, even if it means claiming Goku's along with the other Saiyans.
