A/N: Espeon804 here with another great chapter! The name of this chapter is kinda funny but it fits perfectly. I know that Vegeta isn't the kind of person to play games all the time but I decided to do that in this chapter for a good reason. He was starting to get bored anyway. Most Saiyans do mock those weaker than them.
Over the weekend I went on the Dragon Ball Wiki and watched videos on YouTube and watched the DBZKai DVDS that my father has from time to time so that I can understand the characters a bit more, especially Raditz since he hardly plays a role.
Oh yeah, notice how some of my "disclaimers" have a bit of humor in them. Like one when I said that Bulma would have killed Yamcha for chasing after woman. I know that it actually Bulma chasing after men… even aliens, but notice on the first episode of Kai she mentioned that Yamcha could be chasing after any other girl. That's why I put that there as a joke. I just finished the Frieza saga last weekend too. Don't worry, I know more than that because I watched episodes after that on television. I just had to watch the ones I missed. I wouldn't be writing this fanfiction if I am clueless about DBZ. My favorite episode? When Gohan went SSj 2 on Cell.
Well, anyway, I might as well get started. This chapter will be very hard to write, but I'll try to use the battle of Goku and Oozaru Vegeta from the anime to do this one. My sister ( 4 years old. hard to believe?) loves that episode, so she watches the Saiyan saga all the time. Do you know how annoying that is? She watches it everyday! My dad only has parts 1 and 2, that's why. That also explains why I know most of it by heart. Ask her who's Trunks parents and she'll answer that correctly.
Enough of that. Lets continue.
Arrgh, might as well do the disclaimer as usual.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DB, DBZ, DBGT, DBZKai, or DBSuper! All rights and credit goes to Akira Toriyama, Funimation and whoever else is involved. I'm just a 16-year-old girl writing fanfictions because I get bored when there is nothing else to do.
Oh? You never knew that I was a girl? Don't judge me guys! I'm not one of those crazy fan-girls who are obsessed with the show and it's characters. I find them annoying (no offense) I'm just an average fan who likes the show and makes fanfics to twist things up.

-Chapter 10: Brain games -
Previously on "The wrath of the Earthling Saiyan":
Raditz watches with interest. He wonders how his little brother is fighting this off. "Kakarot, it'll be best if you just allow it to happen. You decided to join us but not yet have you embraced your Saiyan side. This is the final step to leave your old life behind and start the new life of a warrior. Stop running away! Didn't you beg me to allow you to test your tail's strength for the past six months?! The earthlings kept this monster from you for many years. If I remembered correctly, you told me that you wanted to teach them a lesson with your wrath right?! This is the moment that you have been waiting for! So stop holding back and show me what you are really made of, or are you not Saiyan enough?!"
Kakarot understands now. All this time he has been running away from his Saiyan side because he fears on what he could become but, this is what he is destined to be from the moment he was born. Raditz is right, he made the promise to teach everyone a lesson and that is what will happen, even if it means becoming something else. There's no turning back now. He removes his hands from his head and allows his anger to take him… his anger towards the Humans. His eyes snap open revealing the pair to be completely red as he snarls in an animalistic way. After that he roars to the sky.
- Now -
The mighty Oozaru roars as it attempts to stomp down on Krillin once again, but once again the monk gets out the way in time. It annoys him in many levels. Why can't the insect just stay still?!
Krillin is hopping around like a rabbit now as he ducks and leaps to safety. He won't even get a second of rest and Goku is after him again! Really, he is intentionally leading his monsterized former friend away from the two women who are desperately searching for shelter. It's just one hour right? Not bad? No, it's terrible. One hour to anyone would feel like hours when you're in combat. All he has to do is survive long enough for Goku to return to his normal size and he'll be lucky to live another day.
However, no one is aware of the battle going inside Goku's mind as the Kakarot tries to take full control. Yes, there is still a little Goku left in there but, it is slowly fading… slowly dying. His pure heart is almost completely covered with cold blood. The remaining good side of him is begging the monster to stop and show mercy to the earthlings, but that tiny voice can't be heard over the roars echoing through the mountains.
"I can't do it! He was my best friend!" The tiny voice of Goku shouts in the monster's mind.
"But he's a Human! You are a Saiyan! He shouldn't matter to you!" he can hear his brother's voice guiding him. It is easy to listen to him since he is one of the family he has left. Sometimes, his ideas are too brutal for Goku to handle.
"How can I?" It is so confusing. he is torn between Human and Saiyan acts. it's been this way for days.
"You have the blood of a Saiyan. Let is boil. Then embrace it and never let go. That's your pride."
"But I'll lose myself in anger."
"That is what a Human would think. You're afraid of becoming a true Saiyan. You fear losing your Human nature. That doesn't matter to you anymore. Put aside those emotions and you'll thank me."
"My emotions?"
"They blind your judgement. If you let go and allow your anger to come, you'll feel it. You'll feel the thrill of battle like never before."
The Oozaru continues to chase Krillin down. Goku can't control it. It's like he's watching from a red window that cannot be broken. He wants to help but he know that it won't be possible. This is his Saiyan side he's trying to run through. yes, he embraced it but he still can't control the monster. He wonders why.
"Push aside those emotions Kakarot. Push them aside and never reach for them again."
It dawns to the younger Saiyan that Raditz is speaking to him in the native tongue. It just like he tried to help Raditz control his Oozaru form a year ago. Now it's vise-versa. Why is Raditz willing to help him so much after he learned that he lost his memory? Maybe because he wants his brother back.
But still, a tiny part of him feels great pain in doing this.
"Listen to me. If you just stop with those pathetic Humane acts, you can do what you want at will! Understand now?"
"I-I do… but I don't know how…" Or maybe he does, he just doesn't want to. Those emotions mean a lot to him. Love, care, sadness… most importantly… joy. Does Raditz really want those gone? No… what he means is towards the Humans. He has to stop caring for the race that he does not belong in. That has to be it.
"Goku! Please! Stop!" Krillin pleads are heard and the Goku in there still struggles.
"I told you guys that my name is Kakarot." The statement is directed more to himself actually.
"Goku is the name they gave you here. You weren't born with it." Raditz points out. He's right at that one. "Who are you?"
"Your brother Kakarot."
"And you are what?"
Kakarot knows where this is going. The answer would normally be; "I'm the protector of Earth against all evil!" But that is no longer a fact. When his grandfather told him that he found him in the woods abandoned, that fact was 90% true. Kakarot was sent there for a reason. He knows that it is in his blood and it always has been. There's no denial on that. "I'm a Saiyan."
"I feel like I'm talking to a child! Tell me, what does a true Saiyan warrior do? Remember what you learned this past year?"
"They fight without mercy." He shudders at that fact. All his life the former protector has always tried to spare his enemies to give them a second chance to change their wicked ways. It worked for The Desert Bandit Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, heck, maybe Piccolo since he has sided with the Humans but, he doubts that. "Without hesitation and regret."
"Remember that and you might just survive what waits for you in the future. Stop waiting and finish the job!"
"GOKUUUU!" Krillin yells in despair.
"YAAAAH!" Some voice cried out from behind.
Something sharp and painful stabs him on the back. The Oozaru hollers and roars as he spins around and stomping in rampage. His red eyes lock on the one responsible.
Yajirobe.
"See what he did?! He came out of nowhere and ambushed you! If you had stopped being stubborn, that would had never happened! How does that make you feel to have let your guard down?"
It's not a trick question. The little brother answers. "Bad."
"Doesn't that make you feel angry?"
"Yes, it does."
"Does it make you want to kill this fool?"
He pauses, and so does the monster. This confuses everyone watching. Does he really want to? Every cell in his body cries out for him to make the Human pay for scaring him. Still, the little Goku in him pleads for him to not do it. The struggle is bothering him. He remembers what Raditz said.
Stop caring for the Humans. Put the emotions aside.
Yajirobe played his role. The big monster that everyone still alive claimed was Goku has spotted him. He meant to chop off his tail but he missed and only cuts his back. "I'm outta here!"
He has decided. He shuts off the tiny voice of Goku and shoves away all his doubts. The Oozaru glares at Yajirobe as the fat man runs for his life. He jumps and slams his foot on the plump warrior. He squashes below his feet like a bug. Took care of that insect.
"YAJIROBE!" Krillin screams. They guys just showed up with the bit of courage he had and his reward? Death! Just like that!
The Oozaru stares at the spot as he slowly moves away his foot. Nothing but a bloody pulp remains. Thank Kami that he can't see the twisted guy or he probably would have hurled. Still, he feels no regret on that action. In fact, he enjoyed it. The Oozaru starts to laugh making the earth shake. "Yes, it did make me want to kill him." He grins darkly revealing his sharp fangs. His laughter grows louder.
"Goku… no…" Bulma claps her hands together and locks them. All the hope she had of having Goku back is now gone.
The Oozaru stops his laughter as he looks at Krillin again. "MAN! DID THAT MADE MY DAY! SERVES HIM RIGHT!"
"Guh-goo-G-Goku?!" Krillin takes several steps back. Did he just spoke?! A minute ago he couldn't control himself! "Oh no! He didn't! He can't!"
"He did!" Raditz says with a hint of excitement. "Hah-haha! He has finally done it! I never thought that it would take all this to make him finally realize where he belongs! Now things should be more fun now that he can kill you all at his terms! Isn't that right brother?"
"MORE FUN THAN I HAD IN YEARS!" Oozaru Kakarot roars. "SO BUDDY? GOT ANY MORE OF THOSE TRICKS? I HOPE THAT YOU DO BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM! SEEING ME IN THIS FORM MAY BE THE LAST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE!"
Krillin gulps and gets into a stance. He has no idea on what to do. The only option is to cut off his tail so that he ca even out the battlefield but the chances in pulling that stunt off is to the slimmest.
"NOT DOING ANYTHING? C'MON! KILLING YOU LIKE THIS WILL BE BORING! I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO MORE THAN THIS KRILLIN!" The monster stomps his foot near the monk and Krillin loses his footing and falls. Still receiving no answer, he frowns. "FINE THEN! HERE GOES!" He rises his foot over him and gets ready to crush him like he did to Yajirobe. At that moment, something grabs hold of his giant tail. Pain shoots right through his spine. "GARRGH!" He manages to turn around and see Piccolo squeezing the life out of it. "ONLY YOU WOULD THINK OF SOMETHING UNFAIR!"
"Unfair? Oh please, I'm trying to kill you so that you won't be a problem anymore." Piccolo explains. "You are the one who lacks in common since, so of course you're an easy target."
"Hm. They might just last after all." Vegeta mumbles.
He can barely move. Piccolo has always been a part pooper. Just when he was having fun he just has to ruin it! That's the one fact that he'll never forget. He puts in every ounce of strength to stop the tail pulling. Somehow he can feel energy building up somewhere. Perhaps he has the strength to deliver a ki blast from his hand or something. He did train his tail to be immune to attacks inflicted on it but not long enough for it to have the needed results. With enough energy, he fired a blast…
… right out of his mouth.
The surprised Namekian lets go of the tail to get out the way. The blast leaves a deep crater on the ground. He never expected that to happen. Out of all the places, that Saiyan attacked from his mouth!
"Are you alright Piccolo?" Krillin called. He spots the Namik and his face went pale when he sees that Piccolo's right arm has been amputated Saiyan style.
"Don't worry about me. I only need one arm to fight." Piccolo says.
Raditz bursted out laughing, receiving a glare from the Namekian. "Are you kidding?! You're half dead already!"
"Kakarot! Why did you do that?! We need the Dragon Balls!" Nappa shouts.
"WITH ONE ARM? HE'LL LIVE. HE'S NO LONGER A THREAT IN HIS CONDITION." Kakarot simply replies.
Vegeta in the sidelines raises an eyebrow. He thinks that perhaps this brain damaged Saiyan can actually be useful. He's starting to use his head. His Saiyan side is now at its best. That is just what they needed. Another victory for the prince! "Do what you want with them."
Kakarot gives the prince a glee-filled look. A sign of his stupidity coming up the prince assumes. "HOW ABOUT THIS VEGETA? HIDE N' SEEK!"
"What? This is not child's play idiot!"
"I KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS CRAZY BUT IT'LL BE FUN! TRUST ME! THEY'LL HIDE, I'LL FIND THEM, THEN… KILL THEM ON THE SPOT! HOW ABOUT IT? HUH? HUH?"
Even as a Giant Ape, Kakarot's childish nature is still in there. Now mixed with Saiyan nature, it looks like something to laugh at if no one was being so serious. However, as stupid as it sounds, it'll make things less boring for them.
"Pah. Whatever. It'll kill time at least. The earthlings might be better at hiding than fighting."
Piccolo hates this monkey warlord. He's calling them weak and that's the one thing he hates the most. "You expect me to hide like some coward? Common sense would also tell you that there are only two of us remainding."
"You lack in knowledge. Count again but this time add the two earthling woman."
"He's insane!" Krillin yelps.
"What? Do you want us to say in another way? Two pathetic wimps who claim to be warriors are being chased by a giant ape. Two more whimpering earth-woman join in. How many weaklings are there in all?" Raditz asks.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M IN THE FIRST GRADE TO YOU?!" Piccolo snaps.
"That is none of my concern. You should be worrying among yourselves because this game is still going." Vegeta reminds them. "You got a head start. 10 seconds."
Even Nappa is a bit puzzled on why the prince is actually doing this. Then again, it was getting very boring watching them run like roaches and being thrown around. Might as well do something.
"And as for you Kakarot. This is your chance to show me just what you can really do. Don't mess this up."
The ape nods. A piece of cake. "Mmmm, cake." Just thinking about it is making him craving for it but, that'll come later. Maybe it'll be a reward. Now he's willing to do this.
"1…" Vegeta starts to count, and the warriors and the woman scurry off.
"2…" They jump and dive around rocks.
"3…" Krillin flies over a boulder.
"4…" Bulma trips over a rock and scrapes her knee.
"5…" ChiChi's foot gets caught in the rock.
"6…" Piccolo lands on top a large rock and stands there.
"7…" The two women are now out of sight.
"8.." Kakarot stomps his feet in excitement causing Raditz to roll his eyes.
"9…" Nappa folded his arms still not believing what is happening.
"...10…" Vegeta notices that everyone is hidden…
… except the foolish Namekian.
"You should be hiding like the others!" Karot reminds him. "Man… you're a party pooper."
"Hah. Party pooper huh? Like if my pride will allow me to hide, topping that with participating in childish games even if it means saving my life." Piccolo says. "So go ahead and attack me. Not like you'll have any luck trying."
Kakarot laughs. "I EXPECTED YOU TO NOT PLAY ALONG. REALLY, THIS GAME IS FOR MY SON. I'LL BE WITH HIM OF COURSE."
"Goes well for him. With you, you look like a fool."
"IS THAT THE WORD OF THE DAY?" Seriously, it might be. He has been called that countless time besides "idiot" and "imbecile" that Raditz would normally use. "ignorant" is new though.
"Enough. Get this over with before the clock runs out." Vegeta says.
Oozaru Kakarot springs over the Namekian and lands. He scans his surroundings. There's not much to hide it really. Mostly all he sees is plains that go on forever, but the rocky landscape is here too. They all most likely hide around them. He decides to leave the Namik alone to search for the others. Karot proudly stays by his side. He looks like an ant compared to him in his point of view. It stills bother him that everything is still red. The fact that the Oozaru's eyes are glowing that color makes since now.
"Ready or not, here we come!" Karot calls out to them.
Kakarot can't see them even this high. They hid themselves well. Still, that doesn't mean that they can't be found. Ever since he was a child his senses has always been greater than the others. It must be a Saiyan trait. He can smell Bulma's perfume out here. Unfortunately the wind has scattered it around. That makes things more difficult. Greater the challenge. "YOU CAN HIDE BUT NOT FOREVER!"
Karot laughs as he runs across the field to get started on the search. He loves playing hide n' seek with his dad. Whoever thought that it'll be played during combat. perhaps Vegeta agreed to that he can have some more decent childhood memories in a Saiyan way.
Kakarot inhales the air. Once he finds them, he'll enjoy ever second of their last moments. They'll wish that they had never came.
A/N: Finally finish! *readers takes out weapons* Hey! Don't kill me! I know, I know, this chapter isn't all that great. It's mainly focused on Goku turning away from his old life and shutting it out completely! So? What do you think?
Sorry that it's short. I have a small case of writer's block right now. Stupid ideas of mine shut off! I need a new lightbulb since the one currently over my head has busted.
Anyway as usual…
REVIEW, REVIEW! I LOVE REVIEWS!
To be continued to Chapter 11! I'll try to make that one longer!
