Book 1: The Wrath of The Earthling Saiyan

by Espeon804

Book 1. It was that very moment when an alien warrior had touched down on Earth... Goku's life took a turmoil. He had a tail... and by 7 years, he is Goku's older brother. Memory loss had turned Goku's destiny to a screeching halt. He told him "Perhaps these Earthlings had been using you" No, that's not what irks him. His whole life was a lie. What if... Goku took Raditz's offer?

- Chapter 19: Accepting one another, that's my pride! -

Last time one "The wrath of the Earthling Saiyan";

The elder glares at the Saiyan. "You're a demon! How could you! All of you?!"

Kakarot looks at one of the dead Namekians that remind him of Piccolo. "So I'm a demon now? That's funny, coming from a species that I stumbled upon when I was a kid. He was the demon then. So… the tables have turned…" His fist collided with the child's skull. He hears a dull thud and the child is lifeless.

"No!" The elder screams.

Kakarot tosses the lifeless child aside like a doll and grabs the elder by the collar of his tunic. He pulls him up to his face. His dark smile deepens to the same style as Raditz's. He lets go of the elder and leaps over him. He lands behind him just as he begins to fall to the ground and puts him into a headlock. "Open up or suffer and die slowly!" He is finding this easier than he though. Nappa was right. He is enjoying every moment of this. He starts to put in pressure cutting off the oxygen from the Namek. He hears the alien struggle to speak. "What was that?" He releases enough pressure to let him speak.

His voice is horses but is still understandable. "Go ahead and kill me. But… you will never get that Dragon Ball…"

Kakarot knew that he would choose death over giving up something so valuable. "Too bad. You won't die quickly. You know that right?" He squeezes his body now. The sound of the elder screaming and his breaking bones is like music to the Saiyan's ears. His laugh is full of malice as he applies more pressure. He is laughing so evilly that it even scares Karot. "Ready to give up old man? You don't look like you'll last much longer!"

The elder screams louder as more and more pressure is applied. Kakarot's laughs are reduced to chuckles when the Namekian slumps unconscious. "Well, he didn't last long enough to fully entertain me." He places his hands one the alien's head and turns it to the right so fats and far. He hears the neck snap and the elder is dead. He lets go and the elder falls to the ground. He kicks his body lightly to ensure that he is dead. "Okay he's dead now!" His voice is mixed with a dark yet cheerful nature. That's Kakarot for you.

- Then -

"Damn it… how could I have been so blind? My fathers has visions.. my brother has dreams of the past… then I hated my brother so much that he actually hit his head and forgot everything about his kind… damn it! Damn it all!" Raditz's ki surrounds his body from his rising aura. "Nothing ever goes right for this family does it! It's all a tale! My brain-damaged brother knows more than me… curses!" He punches the ground and it leaves a shockwave that shreds grass in a 4 foot radius. "Our race was destroyed and father tried to stop it, only to be killed by Frieza! Mother died from the explosion. Kakarot was sent off to Earth and forgot who he was. Me? I was a joke! Nothing more than a damn joke!" Static crackles through his body as the ground below him powerfully shakes. "Damn it all! My life was nothing more than hell!"

Inside the cave Kakaro hears his brother's ranting. His scouter instantly tries to read the power level. He can't believe what he is seeing on the screen. "20,000… 21,000… 22,000… 24,000-?!" He yelps when the scouter shatters and explodes to a puff of smoke. The device pieces falls to the ground. Kakarot looks out the cave in shock. His brother has never been this strong before.

Vegeta meanwhile was about to start a small spar with the Saiyan halfbreed until his scouter picks up Raditz's reading. "The hell?! 25,000?! No! It's still rising!" Raditz's power level is not a threat compared to his but it is unbelievable that it is climbing. "He couldn't be in that range to reach… the legendary power could he?!"

Karot is in awe. His scouter shatters and he yelps. It hurt a little. He can still sense his uncle's energy. He must be really angry about something. He can feel it.

Raditz is unaware on the intense energy that is traveling up and down his body as static. his mind is still stuck on how much of a failure he is. "Kakarot has surpassed me in strength when a year ago I was twice more powerful than him! Even his son could beat me in rage! Why is it that I am the weak one?! Why?! Kakarot went from being the weakest Saiyan alive to a better warrior that I am! It's not fair dammit!" He stomps the ground and the crater goes a foot deeper. Finally he calms down enough for the sudden rise in power to drop again. He stands there exhausted. What in the world did he do? He frowns and begins to walk away. "So be it! If Kakarot wants some time alone I'll give it to him. I'll just train myself to make sure I will not be looked at as a weakling any longer!"

Kakarot still stares outside as his big brother flies off. He was angry alright, but not at him. More like at himself. It looks as if he has finally realized who is the main problem. "Not fair… it's not fair for any of us."

- Now -

Raditz is furious. No matter how hard he tries, not matter how much effort he puts into everything, no matter how long, they still mock him. They still treat him like a joke. Always and forever will he be a low-class they said. He'll never grow stronger, and it's a shame that Kakarot, his own weak born brain damaged brother surpassed him. Even his nephew can give him a hard time. So be it! He won't tolerate it any longer. The wind beats across his face making his hair whip wildly as he soars through the skies. "I will prove them wrong! I will prove them all wrong!" He has been telling himself this for some time now. It is to remind himself that he will not let anyone hurt his pride any longer. "I will show them who's weak!" On that note he boosts his ki to fly at top speed.

Meanwhile, a man… a light green man with long green hair tied into a braided ponytail hovers above Frieza's ship alongside the purple yellow spotted alien Raditz and Kakarot encountered before. He doesn't look so thrilled. He has a scavenger hunt to do. He listens carefully to the information he is being given. "So Appule, you're telling me that those Saiyans are here?"

The purple alien revealed to be Appule nods once. "Raditz, Nappa and Prince Vegeta all came here. But… they aren't alone. I ran into another Saiyan."

The man frowns. "Another Saiyan. That is not possible." He thinks for a moment, trying to find out how. One idea comes to him. "That's right. If I do recall correctly another Saiyan baby was sent to a far off planet before Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. Frieza didn't bother on searching for him because he was so weak. He must be fully grown now. Tell me, do you happened to catch his name?"

"His name… I think it was Kakarot."

Zarbon is shocked by this news. "Kakarot?"

*Flashback*

They were outter space in Planet Vegeta's orbit. Something was going on, just as Frieza predicted. The Saiyans were starting a rebellion. Just as Frieza gets ready to destroy the planet, several aliens from Frieza's army fire their attacks at one spot.

*Cue 1* It was ineffective, because a Saiyan warrior with wild hair sticking out from left to right flies out. He clearly knows what is about to happen. The look on his face makes it clear. He soars towards the ship with the angry shout of "FRIEZAAAA!" and elbows one alien who stood in his way. He ducks one alien who tries to stop him, kicks away another, and vaporizes another who attempted to attack him with a ki attack. Another pops up from his side but he kicks that one away as well. The aliens soar their way and they all grab hold of him forming a ball of bodies but the Saiyan makes his way through and they are blasted out the way. His eyes are locked on the emperor of the universe floating out the ship. "Frieza." His voice filled with hate. He stops his tracks and just hovers there, staring at Frieza as he fully comes out.

Many of the aliens watched the saiyan who dares to challenge Frieza. They talk all at once, making comments about what they are witnessing.

The Saiyan is well known on Planet Vegeta. A low-class warrior. However, he was different. He took on missions that even Saiyan elites wouldn't do. He completed each one, steadily growing stronger each day. Many believed that if he keeps this up, he might be as strong as those who are in the elite-class. His name is Bardock. Many know him to be a father as well. Questions has been asks on why he choose a Saiyan female who can barely fight well to be his wife. They know that he has two sons; Raditz, and the pitifully weakest Saiyan alive, Kakarot. He just came back from a mission that was suppose to kill him. It killed his crew but, he still lives, battered and covered with his own blood, barely escaping the slaughter. Now, he is foolish enough to challenge Frieza. This has to be the end of his line.

Despite the situation he is aware that he is in Bardock still chuckles with a dark grin. One thing that makes Saiyans so odd, no matter how strong their opponent is, they laugh at the face of danger and take a thrill in battle. This one however is still laughing and he knows that he might just die. "So it all comes to this?" He asks. "My fate? Planet Vegeta's? Kakarot's?!"

The green man stands next to Dodoria inside his lord's ship. He is confused. This fool is here thinking that he might just be able to slow down Frieza. He mentioned his weakest son's name. What fate does that infant has?

Frieza above simple rises his index finger. A very small orange ball of energy is created at his finger tip, about as small as a coin. It looks harmless.

Bardock chuckles even louder. "And yes… heh-heh-heh-heh-heh… yours too Frieza!" He creates a blue ball of energy of his own from the palm of his hand. His grin turns into a snarl as he brings back his hand then throws his ball of energy hard towards Frieza. "We settle this here! Riot javelin!" He calls out one of his attacks and watches the ball of energy fly.

Frieza's emotionless stare turns into the wicked evil smile. He starts laughing as the small ball of energy grows huge, about half the size of Planet Vegeta. Bardock's attack is consumed by the death ball. He is creating what is known as Supernova, his signature attack.

"What the?!" Bardock sees that his attack was destroyed. The Supernova continues to grow. The ball of energy is flicked, and it soars towards the Saiyan and the aliens who opposed him. Bardock sees his fate and yells loudly, knowing that there is no way to dodge it. He is one of the first to be hit with the attack. His armor falls apart as he suddenly mutters something that no one could pick up. Just as he was being torn to pieces he screams out his last word; "KAKAROOOOOOT!" *End Cue*

*End of flashback*

The man stares at the alien. "Are you sure that he is here?"

"Positive Zarbon. He was here with his brother Raditz. Kakarot was the one who killed Raspberry effortlessly. Raditz overwhelmed our men."

"They've became stronger." Zarbon thinks to himself. "We'll have to report this to Frieza at once. We go inside." He soars inside before the alien could. He has no time to wait for others. If Frieza finds out too late, he is as good as dead.

Appule gets ready to follow but he is stopped when something hits him hard on the side of his face. He recovers and looks to the direction he was hit. There hovers the same Saiyan who overwhelmed him recently. "Raditz?!"

Raditz chuckles a small laugh. "So I take it that you are off searching for us? Too bad that you won't get the chance."

"Fool. I am way stronger than you. I have always been! What makes you think you can come here and make an appearance without being known? Zarbon is on his way to report your actions. Frieza won't be pleased. Your punishment will be painful."

"Whoever said that I was still working for that bastard?"

"What?"
"Here's a fact. I always hated him. One, because he has always made me look weak in front of everyone. Two, because he destroyed my planet. Three, because he killed my father like he was nothing!" He zips at the alien and kicks him on the stomach. As Appule tries to recover all hunched over, the Saiyan continues. "He threw us out like trash, and now our kind is near extinction!"

Appule glares at the Saiyan warrior. "Hmph. It looks like you finally know the true story. Took a while. It's something to expect from a brainless monkey like you." He sees Raditz next attack and blocks the kick. They spar for a while until he ends it by throwing an uppercut then firing a blast that sent the Saiyan back. He delivers several more, laughing as Raditz is battered by the blast. "Always cocky but never tough! It's no surprise on why Vegeta thinks that you're not cut to be a Saiyan!" Dust flies as Raditz is put against the ground. He stops and smirks. "Stupid monkey." The dust clears revealing the low-class's armor missing in many places, and he only has bruises and scratches covering his body. A couple wounds bleed but he is still alive. "What?!"

The Saiyan rubs his hand under his nose. As he puts his hand down he looks back at Appule. "It's not so easy to kill me anymore now is it? Well, it won't be easy to try as it use to be. Now it's the other way around." He rises his hand and charges an attack. He returns to his teasing personality. He speaks to the alien as if he's in first grade. "You see that energy forming on my hand? I call it Shining Friday! Let's see if you can endure that!" He fires the attack and Appule throws his hand in front of him to deflect it. He does and the ki attack flies away to the unknown. Raditz knew that he would do that. It is part of his plan. He gets behind Appule and throws his arms around him, locking his body.

"Let go of me! I'll-" His words are cut short when a hand covers his mouth, reducing his words to muffles.

"Don't want to attract attention. Let's end you elsewhere." Raditz hold on to him as he flies off. When he is sure that he is far enough he tightens his lock. "I think this will do. I don't want them to come out and see you dying in my hands!" Suddenly Appule kicks him several times. Eventually it was too much and Raditz lets go.

"Maybe it is because… you don't want to be seen killed by me!" Appule flies over to the Saiyan again and he throws his punches. Raditz is unable to dodge well enough to evade them all He kicks him again and Raditz crashes into the ground once more. "Stop with your efforts. You know well that you cannot defeat me! The proof is in facts! Your own brother who was once the weakest Saiyan is now stronger than you!"

The mentioned fact made Raditz's blood boil with anger. That alien made a bad choice on mentioning that - dare he thinks it - fact! "That is something that I cannot forgive myself for allowing to happen. I am still furious about it, and I need something to take it out on!" The ground starts to shake from his rising power. He glares at Appule.

"What the?! Where is this power coming from?!"

"I think that you will do just fine!" Raditz ki surrounds his body and he soars at Appule faster than before. He puts the alien in a choke hold. "You made the mistake of calling me weak. That makes me mad… really mad. So… I have to kill you now." He twist the aliens head and lets him go, watching him fall towards the ground dead. "I won't allow him to give off any more information about our whereabouts. But even so…" He looks at his hands and smirks. "That fight with Kakarot that could have killed me, it did more than knock me out for a few days. I have grown stronger thanks to him." He flexes his arm muscles for a moment. "Kakarot of course also grown stronger. That makes him even more of a challenge if he decides to fight me again." He won't allow his little brother to be a show off in front of their prince any longer. He'll just train hard like never before. "So be it."

- Gohan -

Karot yelps when a foot nearly hits him. It flies over his head. He manages to block a punch. He doesn't see the other fist coming. He gets knocked to the ground after being punched on the face. He tries to get up only to get manhandled by the one he is sparing with; Prince Vegeta.

Vegeta is getting no entertainment from this kid. He heard rumors about what power he could hold but so far he doesn't see any of it. "C'mon! Where is your hidden strength? Or does the apple not fall far from the tree?" He headbutts the 5 year old on the head and he laughs as Karot whines. "How will you expect to survive this universe if you can't even show me what you can do?"

"I'm trying my best sir!" Karot whines.

"No, you are hiding it somewhere. It only comes out when you need it most!" He throws the kid up in the air and fires a ki blast at him. "If you can't protect yourself from that then it's over for you!"

Karot panics when he sees the deadly attack coming for him. If he doesn't do anything, he'll be vaporized. Vegeta isn't kidding. He'll be dead for sure! "Ahhh… AAAAAAAHHHH!" Karot screams for his life as the attack gets closer to him. Then he feels it. The burning sensation filling his body with sudden anger. His instincts call out for him to defend himself. His fear filled cry is replaced with his shout of sudden rage.

"What?" Vegeta witnesses the kid attempting to block the attack. His little nads have to be burning from that blast, so why is he still fighting it? This is something he never saw from the kid before. Maybe the rumors are true after all.

Karot has to admit to himself that he isn't aware of why he decided to block instead of dodge. The agonizing burns is scorching his hands. Still, he doesn't stop. His teeth grit together as his aggression rises. With a long shout he throws his arms to the side, sending the blast flying off elsewhere. He stands there panting heavily, not letting Vegeta off his sights.

Vegeta sees this as the opportunity to see the half breed's talents. "So his powers are strongly linked to his emotions. He pulls his finger towards him, urging the son of the low class to get to him. "Now… show me what you can do."

Karot still feeding into his anger sprints at the prince with a battle cry. He throws his punches and kicks and still Vegeta effortlessly blocks them all. This angers him even more for feeling so pathetic. He pushes his body to do better. He has to land at least one hit! Only one! How hard is it to do just that?!

Vegeta finds it a little harder to block the kid's attacks. This is starting to get a little fun. "That's it! Faster! Stronger! Don't hold back! Isn't that what your uncle taught you this past year! Is this the best you can do?!"

Karot throws a hard one and his fist hits the prince's nose.

Vegeta is pushed back by the impact and stumbles for a second. He holds his nose for a second and lets go, seeing that it has starting bleeding from the small amount of blood on his fingers. He retaliates Karot by throwing his own punch that sends the kid flying across the field. He knocked him unconscious. He doesn't care. He's just annoyed at the fact that Karot managed to draw out a little blood from him. Son of a low class. He won't let that happen so easily again.

Nappa walks to the prince's side. "Wow. The kid actually managed to land a hit on you. He's a fast learner."

"He is. Just like his father." Vegeta notes out loud. He looks at the sky. "Speaking of, where is he now? He flew off somewhere and I'm not sure if he will show himself any time soon."

"If he does then what do we do?" Nappa asks.

Vegeta gives Nappa his signature smirk. "Then I myself will test his potential."

- Raditz -

It's been how long now? A year and a month perhaps since he reunited with his brother. A lot has changed since then. Progress was good until the day they fought. After that they can't even get along to even make an agreement on something simple. Kakarot is one stubborn Saiyan.

Raditz flies off once more until suddenly he hears small sounds which he recognizes as sobbing. Did some Namek kid wander off or survived from his village's slaughter? He can't help but investigate. He'll just toy around with him for a bit before killing him since there isn't much to do at the moment. His scouter picks up the life reading... a power level of... 4? Who on Namek would be so weak? This gains even more of his interest. He lowers himself closer to the ground and spots someone very familiar. "Well... hello there... Earthling. I never thought that you would be here. How was your getaway trip to an alien world?"

The earthling is the very same nagging blue haired woman he met on the beach on the planet his little brother was suppose to have exterminated a long time ago. Her face is pale at the sight of him. He simply chuckles as he feet touches the ground. She walks backwards slowly as he approaches her. Her foot hits a rock and he falls. Quickly she starts to claw backwards until the Saiyan flashes away from his spot as if he disappeared. He simply ran behind her with his speed because her head bumps on to his muscular legs. She turns around to see him bent over to her level. A slight squeak escapes from her throat. Did she honestly think that she can run off and not see one of them again?

"You know... You really pissed Vegeta off when he found out that you stole his pod. Interesting on how you found your way to this planet. You missed out all the fun." Raditz speaks to her in a somewhat pleased tone.

Bulma' eyes grow wide, filled with her growing fear. "You... killed everyone on Earth?"

Raditz is starting to like the reaction he is getting from this woman. It makes him feel stronger. He answers her question. "Well, we only got a taste of it. The one you call "Goku" got his job done. It only took us a week. Then we finished it off with our greatest potential. All of your friends were put to dust effortlessly by him. His son just did his destruction all part of the job."

"No... Goku would've never done that..." Bulma mutters.

"You're right. Goku wouldn't had but, Kakarot would. Well, he did. After all he is a Saiyan."

Bulma's horrified expression slowly turns to anger as her mind finally wrapped around and understood what he said. "You... You turned him into a monster!" Her angry face switches back to fear when Raditz's dark grinning face gets close to hers. She cowards for a second. She gains some courage enough to rise her hand and throw it at his face. She gasps when the warrior catches her hand before it could slap him.

"You are the most stubborn of them all." He throws her hand down and stands tall once more as she falls to her hands and crawls back once more. He throws his leg up and stomps on her back. She screams as she is forced to fall flat on her stomach. He kicks her on the face and her whole body is thrown up so she falls on her back this time. She lays there groaning with a nosebleed. "I should kill you. But, I find it more fun to torture you instead." He kicks her face now, repeatedly doing so until her mouth and nose heavily bleeds. It's not long until he does grow bored. He creates a ki ball from the ball of his hand that will be his Shining Friday attack.

Bulma doesn't scream this time. She closes her eyes. "Fine. Go ahead. Kill me. I would rather be dead than to stay around you and the monster you turned Goku into!" A few seconds pass and she opens her eyes and sees the collected energy dying down. A part of her is relived.

"My brother? A monster? Only a Human wouldn't so easily understand. It is so simple. Like I said before, he's just Saiyan. It's what he does!" He bends down to grab a handful of her hair and pulls her up. She dangles from the tip of her feet. "He's still an idiot at times but, he's not the traitor I meet on Earth. I would had hate to kill him. It's a part of life… a Saiyan's life. Awakening the part of him that has been so lost for years wasn't all that hard. All I had to do was allow him to experiences the joy of wiping out the weak." He gets a little closer to her. "And yes… he enjoyed every moment of it. Killing the young and the old."

Bulma gives the Saiyan a look of disgust. She can't believe her ears. The once innocent kind Goku who saved the Earth from Piccolo is now out there murdering the weak for fun? What kind of people are these Saiyans to do that without even feeling a little sorry? "You influenced him to become evil just like you and the rest of your kind!" That is her best guess.

Raditz replies; "Evil? Us? Evil? Oh please. Like if I never heard that before. We Saiyans are just businessmen. Sure, we kill but it's part of our job. If it's the everyday life of every Saiyan then how does that make us evil? It's just like how you Humans kill each other in war. It's a part of your kind's lives… well.. used to be. We can't resist to give someone a good beating so I guess you can say that we are bad." He knees her stomach and she reacts by losing her breath and coughing out blood. "I can't kill you. But...I can do someone a favor. Vegeta would love to have a word with you."

Bulma's face reads her thoughts to him. She does not want to be around him. If he's stronger than Goku then he's someone she'll hate to be tortured by.

"Well… I guess I can be nice. Only this once." Raditz tilts his head upwards slightly waiting for her reply.

"You… being nice… it doesn't suit you…"

"Truly it doesn't but my brother would like for me to show a little mercy to one of his former friends who is a genius in her planet. Make something for me and I won't send you to the prince. This is my one and only offer to you woman, so make your choice fast. I don't have all day." He waits and lets out a small chuckle watching her struggling with her words. She's having a strong debate with herself.

"Why… should I work for you? You came to Earth and changed everything!" She once again gains some courage and yells at the warrior again. She stands with her legs shaking heavily staring dead at him with hatred. She won't die without a fight.

Raditz shoves her back down to the ground. "That's not the answer I am looking for." He hasn't even gave her a quarter of her strength to torture her. He has no intentions on killing her just yet. He slams his foot on her chest and she screams out in agony. This is his favorite way to play around with those weaker than him. "You are very unique from the other Earthlings. Unlike you the rest of them begged and cried their eyes out for me to spare them. It got very annoying. They did not dare to challenge me. You however, stood up against me even though you know very well that you are a bug compared to me. You are accepting your death. Just like the female Saiyans back at Vegeta when it still stood." He shrugs. "Kakarot's wife is the same way. I see why my brother choose her to be his wife."

"Actually it was the other way around."

"You're kidding?"

Bulma sees that he has stopped his cruel ways. She hopes that her change of subject will stop the pain she is receiving. "He thought a bride was a type of food." Unfortunately it doesn't work too long.

Raditz sighs. "My brother is such and idiot." He pauses and asks her "Wait, what the hell is a bride?" He sees the blank expression on the earthling's face so he gives her one more chest slam and says; "Forget about it. Get to work." So what if she didn't make a choice. He lost his patience so now she has no choice. He will be ready. Ready to see the shocked expression on his brother's face when he sees how strong he has become!

Raditz begins to walk away to give the woman some space to do her work, but he won't let her run off again. He'll check on her every now and then so that she will know that there is no way out of his trap. Several minutes has passed and he is lost in thought. His brother Kakarot… he is probably out somewhere training while he is messing around with weaklings. He is already strong but still wants to go even further.

Still, has it always been this way? He had always hated his brother but at the same time he doesn't want him dead. Maybe it was because he was a born weakling. Then Kakarot surpassed him not long after they reunited. Where did that power of his come from? Logic and common sense answers that question. It always involved his son… no.. it involves his family… no… it involves those he cares about. He cares! Raditz ponders. Why does Kakarot care? Did their mother's softness rubbed off so much on him when he was a baby? It's crazy to him. "How does he do it? He's just like mother and father together. He uses his anger to make himself stronger… but everytime I do it it doesn't work!" He becomes frustrated. "Curses! How does he do it!"

"It's from the pain of loss that makes me stronger Raditz."

His little brother's voice came out of nowhere. How did Kakarot do that? He just snuck up on him without his scouter detecting him. Then again, he was thinking maybe a little too hard. "Are you finished with your little grudge?" He doesn't bother to turn around to face him.

"Are you finish with yours?" Kakarot walks into the line of sight with his hands places near his hips. He isn't smiling in anyway. He shows a slight frown, a hint of his disappointment. "You know, I think I was right when I said you get jealous." He raises an eyebrow.

Raditz finally faces him with a big step and a clenched fist but, he lets it go. There's no point in arguing over something pointless and get into a bloody fight again. He does not want his tail to go through another snapping. "Your point?"

Kakarot is a bit off by this. He was expecting Raditz to get angry but instead he gets a simple reply. "Well, you don't look too happy on the fact that I could be stronger than you now."

"Obviously! Do I look happy?!" Raditz almost snaps. "Thanks to you being a show off, Vegeta and Nappa are probably planning on abandoning me somewhere because I will be useless!" The thought of it kicks his cool away now. He is yelling now. "Dammit! Why did you have to come here?! So that you can rub that fact in my face?! I tried to confront you earlier and you sent me away because I didn't believe you! Now you come here bringing that up! What is it that you want Kakarot?! Do you want me to admit it?! Admit that I am have no potential compared to you and your halfbreed son?!" He gets no answer. "Go ahead and say it!"

"Well… if you just let me explain-"

"Explain what? You sure explained enough without words! I told you before didn't I? You had a power level of 2! You had the cry of a warrior! You made a Saiyan baby with unbelievable power next to you cry! Even father, who barely paid us any mind… even he took more interest in you because he believes that you have the power to defeat Frieza! They look at me and see a clown ever since you were born! They laugh at me more now because my brother hit his head and became one of the earthlings and though he forgot who he was he still surpassed me!" He shoves his little brother.

"What are you trying to say?" Kakarot shouts as he shoved Raditz back with harder force, causing Raditz to trip over a rock and fall.

That makes the long haired Saiyan snap. "What I am saying is for you to stop being a damn showoff Kakarot because nobody likes a showoff. If you keep this up you may just be like father. He was growing too strong that even King Vegeta, our prince's father saw him as an upcoming threat! They might just kill you one day so just stop it! It'll… it'll make me look bad! No, the whole family! Then they'll say it's all my fault! Life's never fair for us is it?!" He turns away and stares at the ground. He refuses to make eye contact with his brother at this point. Maybe any longer he shouldn't. Everytime he does it reminds him of his father. His kindness reminds him of his mother. "A Saiyan shouldn't even think this but it hurts to know that someone in the family reminds me of every member that it hurts to remember!" He places a hand on his head and grabs a handful of his hair, gripping on it tightly as if it's the only way to keep him from losing himself. "All that I ask is to go a single day without thinking of this terrible past. The nightmare just keeps coming and, now it's worse knowing that Frieza is behind it!" His hand drops to the ground. He lifts it back up to punch the ground. It leaves a deep hole.

Kakarot bends down and pokes his head under Raditz's chest to look at his face with curiosity. He sees the stress gathered there. It looks as if Raditz is fighting tears. He denies it until a single one falls from his face. He never saw Raditz behave like this before. If Vegeta was here, he might be laughing at this. "Raditz… are you… crying?"

Raditz shuts his eyes even tighter. He doesn't want his brother to see him like this. To see him as a weakling even more. "Sh-shut up. You did this to me. You and your stupid softness."

Kakarot bends down a little more. "Sometimes it's okay to cry." It seems that his Gokuish personality is showing a little bit. If he was Bardock he would had gave him a reason to cry.

Raditz is angry. All of his collected and concealed stress has finally poured out. He can't take it anymore. He can't stand the fact that he is just so weak. How else can he put this? He's weak! He hates to admit it! Kakarot just makes it worse! What is Kakarot's secret? How is it possible?! He is older! He should be the one stronger than him! Not the other way around! He can hear the laughs of the past. The ones who laughed at him and made fun of him as a child. They throw him around like a ragdoll. The memory is almost painful. He can feel the salty liquid falling from his face. "Look what you did to me! Crying like some infant! You rubbed your earthling emotions on me!"

"No I didn't. You cried before I left remember?"

Raditz opens his eyes now and looks at his brother again. "How did you-"

"I had a dream about it remember? Unless it was some kind of vision…" Kakarot runs his head, most likely experiencing another headache as his mind fights to recall more memories. "When a Saiyan's pride is wounded, they either get really angry to the point that they stress out so much to tears right? Is that because they see themselves useless to their kind? I've been told that it takes a lot to even hurt a Saiyan's pride."

Raditz's eyes narrow. "What do you know about pride? You barely have any of a Saiyan's pride Kakarot! You have enough to act like a Saiyan but not enough to not hesitate on how we do things here! Do you know what the word itself means?!" How could he possible know much about it when he hasn't even lived around a Saiyan for nearly a good couple of years?

"Yes, I do." Kakarot nods once. "Pride. It is someone's dignity… their… self respect. I now know how you felt back there Raditz. You must've been disgusted to learn that I befriended Humans instead of killing them. That I had a child with one. That… I believed that I was one of them. To be honest… I was thinking about defeating you to save the Humans too." He sighs and folds his arms behind his head. "Then I would had to fight Vegeta and Nappa too. That would've ended well, because it means that I would've been a disgrace to my own kind. Put shame on them… maybe I already did."

"Right. You are a disgrace. You proved to is many times that you can be one of us but, that doesn't change the fact that you are still a failure. Everytime I look at your son… it reminds me of how much of a fool you have always been."

Kakarot is really getting tired of that word. Fool. Is that all they are going to call him now? "I've tried. I've tried for a year and still I can't be the one Saiyan that you want me to be. Nobody's perfect Raditz. I can't fix myself alone. Call me a fool all you want but that won't change the fact that I am still your brain-damaged brother. Sometimes you can be a fool too." He chuckles softly. "I mean… look at us. Arguing like a bunch of kids. Vegeta's going to beat us up eventually because he's sick of it. He said it before and I have a feeling that he doesn't bluff." He points to himself. "I was once Goku. The Saiyan who adopted the life as a Human. Living like them, acting like them, but still I stood. I was a boy with the tail and the ability to become some giant gorilla monster. I disrespected my own kind my allowing my tail to be removed to the point that it can never return naturally… like you said. Then you came along and helped me out. That was when I felt that the missing part of me returned." He points at Raditz now. "You.. You get too cocky and underestimate your enemies. That gives them the chance to give you their all. They catch you off guard. If you fought me I could have defeated you because of that. That makes us both fools. But… even though you punched me, nearly killed me, tried to even kill my son," He glares at him but the expression disappears as soon as it appeared. "I still forgave you because you are my brother. You did all that to help me become a Saiyan… didn't you?"

Raditz's takes a step back. It is as if his brother is actually remembering almost everything involving who is before his eyes. It's unbelievable. Still, Kakarot continues his small speech.

" A true Saiyan who takes pride on himself and his race who was nearly forgotten after Frieza wiped them out. Because of that, I won't back down until one of us takes revenge on that bastard for destroying our planet..." He extends his hands, offering it to his brother. "And… for killing mother and father. I'm sure I'm not the only one part of this. It's not too late to change and stand up… brother." He smiles slightly. It is his goofy smile, the kind that makes Raditz want to punch him on the head.

Still, Raditz holds back his punch and stares at the extended hand. Kakarot is actually forgiving him. He can be stubborn and immature but he had always forgave him for some reason. "Why are you accepting the fact that I've tried to kill you and your son many times? If anything, I was expecting you to kill me."

"Right. I was trying too. You know what that was? I was a true Saiyan at that moment. I was willing to kill you for betraying me and my son. You did that on purpose to see how I would react. The results wasn't pretty but you know that I am not a coward." His goofy smile becomes more noticeable. "C'mon Raditz. Stop giving me that look and just move on. I'm still learning from you. Besides;" He reminds him; "I am like father right? Looks and all. Maybe I can be just like him. Maybe you can too."

"So that we can die by Frieza's hand?"

"No. Raditz do you realize why father did that? He tried to defend our world and our race instead of running for his own life like a coward. Many though he was a fool but, I see him as a amazing warrior. I won't let father die in vain. I will defeat Frieza. So will you." He reaches further for his brother, urging him to take his hand.

*Cue 2* "Kakarot… always have been so stupid but still you impress me." Raditz reaches for and takes his brother's hand. He gets pulled up to his feet and he puts a hand on Kakarot's shoulder. "I was right that I will have you changed in a year. Vegeta may not see it but if he meet you when I did, he would've thought the same at least a bit. Still, that doesn't mean that I won't back down to beat you once again one day."

"So… does that mean you accept me the way I am now?" Kakarot asks.

Raditz returns a small smile. "It doesn't change the fact that we still have a lot of work to do." He loosens his grip on his brother's hand and shoulder and lets go. He turns around to walk away and is nearly knocked over by his little brother when he hits him on the back of his head in a brotherly way. He sees the big smile on his brother's face. "Hey! What are you so happy about?"

"The fact that you always have my back." Kakarot explains his reasons. "No matter how bad I mess up, you always jump in there to help me out. I realized that."

Raditz waves away his words and begins to walk away. "Don't try to rub your good side on me. Besides, I have things to do." He reaches inside his armor from the chest area and pulls out a small capsule. He throws it in the air and it explodes into a mini cooler. He opens it up and takes out a whole roasted Chicken. The woman from Earth has some very useful items. He tears out a leg and begins to eat it.

Kakarot takes a couple steps towards his brother who is getting farther away from him. "Do you mind if I come along?"

"I would rather be left alone right now. Don't start begging at my feet like you did with Vegeta unless you want me to beat you down." He tosses the chicken bone aside and tears away another. Just as he was about to eat it his brother swiftly ran past him and stole the leg from his hand and devoured it in seconds. "Why you! There's a way for you to get your food yourself!"

Kakarot tosses his bone aside. "Well, I never got to eat remember? Besides, you had enough food for today." His eyes are fixed on the chicken now. "I'll take that!" He runs at him again and snatches the rest of the chicken from Raditz and runs off. "Thank you!"

Raditz looks at his now empty hands then glares at his fleeing brother. "Kakarot! You better give that back while you still can!" He runs after him and growls as Kakarot giggles almost childly. "When I catch you I swear I'll knock you out!"

"You had enough! Let me eat something Raditz!" Kakarot tucks the bird under his arm and tears out a wing with his free hand and eats away. His laughs are muffled by the food in his mouth as Raditz feet away tries to catch him to retrieve his snack back.

"The rule was that you cannot eat dinner!" Raditz reminds him.

"Yeah, Dinner. You never said that I couldn't have a snack!" Kakarot tosses the bone behind him and it bounces off Raditz's head.

"You are cheating!"

"No I'm not!" Kakarot looks back. "If you want this back you'll have to do better than running!"

Raditz would snap at this point but instead he laughs at his brother's words. "Oh really? Okay then! Any means necessary! You better give it back!" He smirks as he gathers energy on each hand and he thrust his arms forward, shooting several blasts at his brother.

Kakarot nearly panics when the blast whizzes past him and explodes near his feet. "Hey! What are you doing?! Stop firing your Weekly Special at me!"

"Then surrender to me now!"

"Sorry! Can't do that!" He buries his mouth on the chicken and it is reduced to bones in seconds. "Ah! Much better!" He throws the skeleton at his brother. Raditz ducks as expected. "Now there's none for you!"

"Stealing a Saiyan's food is the worst thing anyone can do! Time for a lesson!" Raditz hears his brother laughing harder now as he runs away at full speed. "You won't escape from me Kakarot!" One of his blast grazes his brother's shoulder and Kakarot yelps. He jumps up in the air and begins to fly. Raditz jumps up into the air to pursue him in the air. Now he's delivering bigger blast and Kakarot dodges each one with some difficulty. He laughs as well seeing Kakarot's boot get blasted from his foot.

"Woah! That was close!" Kakarot sticks his tongue out at Raditz. "You can't catch me!"

"Oh yes I can!" Raditz boosters himself and reaches for his brother. He nearly grabs him as Kakarot makes a sharp turn. If anyone on the ground was watching, they would see the two Saiyans now flying around in a circle as Raditz tries to catch his immature younger brother. The funny thing is, neither is angry at one another. *End Cue*

"That is right my two sons. You may both differ but you are both the same. It is up to one of you to avenge us… the Saiyans… and to make Frieza wish he never did what he has done to us."

Kakarot suddenly stops his flee and looks around in search for the owner of the voice. Raditz seems to be just as confused, scanning the skies for clues. They both recognize who it belongs to. Kakarot nods once. "Father… we will and we promise."

"Accepting one another, that is your pride upon each other."

Raditz feels the presence disappear. What was that about? It must be a message from Other World that their father managed to pass to them. He and Kakarot exchange glances, and share the same smirk. "I guess that we can settle this."

Kakarot seems to have an idea on what he is thinking. "You want to spar with me?" He gets into a stance.

Raditz gets into his own stance. "More like a little training. We're going to need it."

"I'm not holding back."

"Nor will I."

Kakarot lunges at his brother with a cry of a determined warrior. Raditz lunges at him the same way. They fight but this time it's not a grudge fight. It's a fight of two united brothers. So different yet the same.

A/N: Finally finish! This chapter is two pages shorter than the previous. I do not know what else to do with it but end it here. Seems that the two finally see each other's ways. This will help them both for sure.

But what's this? Bulma has been found? I wonder what will happen next? What? I really do wonder. I think out plots and events as I type, then I skim over the chapter and add what I think makes it better. I don't make plans. My typing comes straight from thoughts. To summarize it, I imagine the scenes at the same time a type them. Makes sense now? I need to think on what to do on Chapter 20. It has to be 18 pages since it's #20! Think me!

To be continued to Chapter 20!
