-5 months later-
Fortunately, both ships are hurtling for earth which is good. Considering that either way the ships can handle the landing. Raditz just relaxes knowing freaking out will tense his muscles and cause him to take damage from the sudden stop, as he lands, he realizes he's landed in some sort of forested area away from most of civilization, as he tracks his brother's pod, he sees it land somewhere else entirely. The other side of the world, in a place called the map calls west city. Well at least he knows where his brother is. He opens the pod now a full 6 years old and steps out. He sees a man in a funny stance. It comes to Raditz mind he probably thinks I'm going to hurt him Raditz takes a defensive position, but feels his stomach rumble. Damn life support may keep you alive but it sure as shit doesn't keep you full. Raditz tries to get ready to defend but passes out from hunger.
The old man looks worried and rushes over to the kid and takes him to his house to get him something to eat and takes care of him until he wakes up.
Now Raditz is old enough to know manners and his father told him to try to act like one of the humans, so Raditz of course says thank you. and takes the food he's offered. He gets ready to leave but the old man stops him
"Where by chance are you going off to young one?" the old man calls out genuinely curious.
"Well, my brother also came to this world. But unfortunately, he landed on the other side of the planet I need to find him before he gets in trouble. Or gets his ship confiscated.
"Oh, I'm sorry you were separated from your brother. But you don't have to be worried. When you mentioned him, I looked for someone with a ki signature similar to yours and while he's really powerful. He's calm, he's also with someone I know very well. They'll take good care of him until you manage to find him."
Raditz is relieved, the two brothers by some stroke of luck managed to find 2 humans that knew each other rather well they wouldn't be separated for too long.
"So young one might I ask why you were sent to our little planet?" Gohan asked the tone of his question betraying any curiosity. He already has a suspicion Raditz is here to conquer and with Kakarot's power level he knows earth stands no chance.
"Actually, my father sent us, and a lot of other Saiyan children of planet. The thing is he's trying to overthrow our king. King Vegeta is a horrible amoral man who tries to keep Saiyan's down, destroys anyone who he considers a threat to his royalty or his sons' royalty. He's racist to the people born of the interbreeding between tuffle and Saiyan's. And he willingly bows beneath the cold blood killer Frieza, who has the Saiyan's murder, and destroy planets for him just so he can sell them to the highest bidder. As such dad plans to take him out and rebel against Frieza. He's a hero of the Saiyan people. But he knows that he may still lose against Frieza, as such my mission if he doesn't come back in 5 years is to find the other Saiyan's scattered across the universe, and restart the Saiyan race." Raditz says explaining everything to this kind man.
"Well, you're going to need to be strong for such things…a leader of such strong-willed people needs to be strong in body as well as spirit. As such I believe it would be best for me to train you." Gohan said. He didn't really care about the boy's whole mission or whatever but sending him out into the world unprepared and unready would surely be folly. So, he would take care of the kid for the time being.
-on the other side of the world-
Goku's pod is falling from the sky heading for a mountain on the outside of west city. He's still unconscious so he doesn't really care about what's going on. But little does he know he's about to hit head first into a research team that are currently mapping out the trajectory for their own attempts to go out into space. They see the ship hurdling at them, and at first think it's a meteorite. As such the scramble to get out of the way. Right where they were building the launch pad. The small pod smashes through the structure and embeds itself in the metal. The hatch flips open and the message from bardock starts playing on a loop.
All the men walk over to the pod and listen to the recording, dumbfounded as they listen to Bardock's last words to his son, the few women there are horrified that a father would send his son away with the last words being to set him on the war path with someone so supposedly strong, that he could annihilate and enslave planets. The men while not thinking too much of bardock for that of course. Also thought how powerful could a baby be. And what is this technology that he mentions a scouter. Something that measure strength. A man parses the group gathered in front a listening to the recorder and sees the baby inside. Above his is a small hatch that opened on landing revealing the scouter. Dr briefs picks it up, and puts it on. He scans a human for a reference.
"Hmmm. It says most humans here are eithers 1s or 2s well the message did say we were rather weak compared to this race. Let's see what this young boy's power level is." Dr briefs scans the boy and instantly his face pales as the numbers start to go up and up. He instantly pulls the machine off his face, and takes it apart checking it for any damage. No that he can tell…well then that's interesting. The voice did say this kid was an elite. But a 5000-power level…yeah that's ridiculous compared to what he's seen of normal earthlings. This was a story book warrior race if he ever seen one.
"Well then…I think it would be best if all of you forgot what you saw here today."
"Sir shouldn't we report this to the government?"
"Certainly not. If we did that then they may take the boy for lengthy experiments, and end up turning the child against us. He's strong. I will take him in and raise him…I don't care for whatever mission he has. That is not my concern. Getting him the correct teachers to teach him how to control his power, and not destroy us all on accident however is. Only I have the resources to raise a child like this. And my wife well she has the compassion to do so as well. So, we should be fine." Dr briefs says with a small smile. He was always being called a silly and thoughtless man. True that's the way he preferred it, because If no one expected thought from you. they shut up when you showed it. Dr briefs got help carrying the ship to his truck and took it to capsule Corp to protect the message, while he didn't agree with what was on the tape it was Kakarot's right to know what was there.
And so, he took Kakarot, and his ship to capsule corp. of course the boy was rowdy, and at first scared. But when doctor briefs touched the small child with a smile on his face. Kakarot knew he could trust this man. He just got a feeling about him it was almost like he could sense that he had no bad intentions.
As Dr. briefs approached capsule Corp his wife was waiting outside with their little girl who was not scared of Kakarot in the slightest she went up to him and grabbed his hand the first words out of her mouth.
"YOUR FILTHY! YOU NEED A BATH." And as such she dragged him away to do just thought. Kakarot tried to protest, but all the power in the world didn't help when you were too small to get out of a joint lock. The first thing this little boy learned on earth. Don't mess with the female gender when they're dead set on something.
After his bath, and much protesting from Kakarot being taken out of his Saiyan garb. So, it could be washed. Apparently, it was made out of an incredibly stretchy material. That was interesting. but they would give it back after they synthesized more of it. Bulma found something interesting out in Kakarot's bath, grab the tail they lose all power. As such Dr. briefs keep that in mind. And focused on going through Kakarot's ship before dinner. He opened up the pod once again and looked inside the storage unit where he found the scouter earlier, maybe the parents left something that could help him in raising Kakarot. He found just the thing he was looking for, a pamphlet to Saiyan's, and Saiyan children. He read it out loud an annoying habit of his that he couldn't break for the life of him. It helped him commit things to memory better.
Greetings whoever is reading this. A few things you should know about Saiyan's and Saiyan children, my husband bardock thinks I'm being overprotective by adding this in all the Saiyan babies pods but he doesn't know the trouble I've had raising Raditz. "Who on earth is Raditz, must be another Saiyan child." Typically, most Saiyan's don't actually raise their children, except for a few rare cases, so Saiyan children are actually incredibly independent from an early age, able to walk, learn, play, and annoy whoever has the misfortune of gaining their attention at the time. Saiyan's depending on the sub species, are typically rowdy, and energetic, they like fighting and most races that gain a Saiyan child are too weak to actually fight against them. So if your Saiyan child needs to be dealt with swiftly and you don't have the required strength, grab the tail they will pass out. Note this does not work for Ozuru" what the hell is an Ozuru. "The Ozuru is a powerful Saiyan transformation that up their battle power by 10 times, and turns them into a giant ape capable of destroying whole cities. Its best if you do not let a Saiyan child see the moon the blutz waves are what trigger the transformation that starts in the tail. If you can't prevent the Saiyan child from seeing the moon its best to just remove the tail completely. Though if you do. You run the risk of both weakening the child, and losing the ability to quell them in their human form.
"I'm a scientist woman ill just make him contacts to block out blunts waves." Dr briefs thought laughing at himself maniacally. Now he just had to figure out how to do just that.
Okay the next thing we need to talk about is diet. Saiyan's who are used to surviving on harsh worlds can eat almost anything and are immune to food born viruses and bacteria. As such they learn to eat literally anything you give them and gain the full energy value from it. However as that is the case, a Saiyan who is hungry is effectively weakened. And Saiyan's need far more energy than most other species due to their fast-acting metabolism, and large energy reserves. As such they could eat what most races would assume is an unhealthy amount of food and be incredibly hungry. So please think about this when feeding a Saiyan child.
Raising a Saiyan if you aren't a fighter could be tricky, as most Saiyan's are natural born warriors, even the ones who are well smarter than their counterparts a lot of the times still have a drive to fight within them. So, a Saiyan child who is not expressing that part of themselves in daily life. In either practice or actual battle may get depressed, bored, or apathetic. Some Saiyan's though have a strong desire for knowledge and engineering as well as that drive for battle though. And some just have the drive for knowledge kicked into overboard. It's recommended until the Saiyan starts to show their true personality you offer both to child in a structured and safe environment, or just go to the safe path and offer a fighting rich environment.
"Well, that's interesting i was going to offer him both anyways." Briefs finished out loud. This book didn't tell him much about the parents of the kid though, he read on to try to see if he could get any insight into the nature of these aliens. Other than they usually don't raise their children, and leave them to fend for themselves…that was a little heart breaking.
now remember when I mentioned how Saiyan's don't typically raise their children, well that's a lot because Saiyan's don't usually form families, in fact most Saiyan's are born in pods after the embryos are extracted from the female and raised inside the pod. Saiyan's don't typically pair off. This is not because Saiyan's are incapable of love but because love on planet Vegeta is actively discouraged, likely due to the fact we are a warrior race and love meant losing you partner, and losing focus on the battle field. But still the formative years of a Saiyan's life are very important if they see romantic love familial love, and romance they will adapt to it. And understand it far better, vice versa if they are raised in a chaotic and angry environment, then all they will know is hatred, there are a few exceptions to this but this is mostly the rule. "Well, it seems young Kakarot landed in the perfect house for him. Familial love, romantic love, it's all on display. He may develop a slight attraction to nagging women though. Hehe." Dr briefs chuckled. Happily. And ducked incase a frying pan was flying at him. it wasn't but one can never be too careful. Panche is not a simple housewife despite what most would believe.
"Now most parents if they wanted to would write something in this blank space about their child." The blank space below it was not blank. It was full of writing so small to get literally everything it could in there. Wow that was interesting.
"This book is about most Saiyan babies but I know Kakarot. Even if it hasn't been for a long time, I know him. I'm the one who wrote this book and while all of its good the most important thing I need for whoever is reading this to know is I love my son more than life itself, and if anyone ever hurts him, I swear whatever gods are listening I will come and find you and annihilate whatever rock you are standing on! He's an elite child which means his strength is already above what most of the Saiyan race is capable of yet he's still too weak to protect himself if Frieza comes, so if you see a ship in the sky that looks larger than the ones we sent to your planet, you are to put him in his pod and send him to any other planet you think may support life. If he dies. Whatever Frieza has done to you I will do worse!" the handwriting changes. "You may think what my wife has said in this book is cruel, and to be honest it is that's why I'm trying to change it. I've sent my sons away so they won't be political pawns in the war I'm fighting, I intend to come back in five years if I'm still alive. If I do not return in five years refer to the message, I've sent along with my son he needs to be strong to save the universe from friezas tyranny I know he has the power to do it within him. I know he can. I need you to get him to the point where he can lead armies and defend whatever rock he ended up on from friezas armies. There hunt for Saiyan's may begin short in 1 year if I do not end Frieza myself. Just make sure my son is safe and strong."
The pamphlet has a sizable discoloration in the margins that looks like a circle. Dr briefs surmises that that's a tear, so these space barbarians truly loved their child. That makes him a lot happier.
But something concerned him…. get this child to the point he can lead armies against friezas armies. So, his armies may come to earth on day…. that is not good. Raising Kakarot correctly may be a matter of life, or destruction for earth. If he doesn't do it correctly then he may lose everything he's been working for. A better world. Theres only one man he knows that can train Kakarot to fight but he's a solo fighter. Who else could train him to be a commander, dr briefs walks to his computer hoping to maybe find someone that might fit the bill and looks up legendary martial artists. Who he finds is someone interesting. legendary marital artist Jacky Chun 5 times world martial arts champion. Brother of the turtle hermit muten Roshi. He scrolls and sees what he can find on muten Roshi. And instantly figures out what he can find on Jackie Chun, and finds there is no such person in reality. So, he figures that it must be a disguise. He checks for master Roshi. And finds the man's number. He's got a call to make.
