Chapter 7 Plot:
Chapter 7: "Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest." A huge lead is given by a doctor who worked close with Chille during the development of the Androids, and Kakarot doesn't like it one bit. It's not that he doesn't like the lead. He hates the doctor, and it's no surprise to say he would want to see him dead.
In order to be granted access into a room when the doctor is willing to hand it over, he picks Raditz to complete a very simple task that makes him look like the biggest idiot in the universe… but it's not his fault.
Turles seems to have no experience with the opposite gender and their boundaries. It's no surprise since he was on his own since age 3. However, his mood changes in a way that has Kakarot curious on just what is on his middle brother's mind.
THE FACT IS…
He is bothered for many reasons. For his mother to be present has him uncomfortable for a reason stuck in the past. His attitude towards an individual is also questionable. What exactly is going through his mind?

-Espeon804
- Chapter 7: Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest. -
The reality is… his father is insane.
If only he was the way he was 5 years ago. But, he will never be like that again. It's impossible. Not after all he's been through. The change is permanent. The changes will stick for the rest of his life.
Watching him carefully, Karot is trying to form some sort of strategy. Calculating everything around him, he judges he may have a chance to at least knock him out. But why do that?
Why is no one counting right now?!
Bitter hatred lingers here and there. He's just angry. Angry at his father for making such a stupid decision. Sure, Kakarot made selfish decisions many times in his life, but this is too far. What did he expect to get from forming a contract with a demon? If he gives up his soul…. It would be like making a deal with the devil!
Standing firm in his place, he carefully studies his father. At this moment, Kakarot isn't himself. Something is wrong. The demon is doing something to him that is making him act the way he is. Does Karot even stand a chance? He honestly has no idea.
There is only one way to really find out.
"Dad would never kill me or mom. Even if we did hurt him… he would never do it." The child is confident with his words. His flowing golden aura blows upwards in a faster rate. His power is growing slowly. "The only reason why I don't trust him is because… there's a demon making him do really bad things to people. If even a Saiyan sees bad in what he does… then I know it has to be stopped!"
Kakarot tilts his head to one side with a puzzled look. What is he talking about? He can't comprehend things at all in the moment. The whispers in his ears simply block away whatever reasoning people try to place on him.
'Don't listen to his words. Teach him a lesson as you said. Beat him until he is bleeding and broken near death!'
The words ring through his head in a loud echo. He frowns, and he suddenly flashes, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Karot's eyes dart around. Trying to locate his father isn't easy. He can hear the fast-paced footsteps on the grass… but where? Left? Right?
Behind him.
He spins around with a clenched fist, ready to attack, but instead, his stomach is greeted with a powerful punch. His eyes go wide as a glob of saliva is coughed out his mouth at the same time he is pushed back by the blow. He slams his feet as soon as they touch the ground to anchor himself. Hunched over, he coughs madly and tries to stand straight. He sees a blur of black at the corner of his eye.
WHAM! A boot slams on the right side of his lower jaw. He grunts and falls to his left side. Already, pain is throbbing in two places. He thought that powering up would help, but it doesn't seem enough.
That's right. Even as a Super Saiyan, he's not very strong. He's weaker than his mentor, still. He can't hold the form very well. That's a major issue.
Slowly, he presses his hands on the dirt, and he begins to push his weight off the ground. Just as he is on his knees, sharp pain jabs him on his left side of his abdomen. He flips and falls to his back, breathing from his mouth all while trying not to scream. Grunting tells his struggle to keep his voice in a lower level, despite the pain that keeps coming.
"When are you going to fight back?" Kakarot crosses his arms, watching his struggling son.
"Goku! STOP this!" ChiChi screams at the Saiyan, but he doesn't respond, like she isn't even there. She doesn't really know what to do. Should she count? The Saiyan told her she must do so if he is even unable to stop himself. He gave her permission. So… it should be okay to use… right?
The sound of an object cutting through air gains attention. A bulky figure zooms over and drops to the ground. Nappa has arrived, looking somewhat concerned about things. Seeing Karot down seems to answer whatever his issue is. "It got worse, did it?"
"What do you think?" Vegeta doesn't even bother to answer.
It's a quick awkward glance between Nappa and Gine before they both look back at the son of Kakarot, who is fighting to get back to his feet. The child is in too much pain.
It is so strange. The child has more power than this… right?
Karot looks at his father angrily as he rises. He jumps back as a leg swing comes his way, dodging the attack. He ducks to avoid a fist, and he blocks another punch using his forearm. Cleverly, he avoids several more attacks before throwing his fist which lands on the side of his father's face. He watches him stagger back.
Kakarot chuckles. "You really are something else. If only you can understand. You can have whatever you want… if you stop resisting."
Karot slips into a defensive stance, not saying a word.
"You know where you stand." Kakarot smiles in a sinister way. His glowing eyes brighten as the fog surrounding him shows no signs of going away. "No one seems to try to understand me one bit. Not even my own son. The only thing that will teach you anything is a horrible beat down, and that is something I will hate to do."
"My dad would never say that." Karot narrows his eyes. "He would never kill me!"
Kakarot grins, and he is suddenly in front of the kid. Before Karot could react, Kakarot throws a gut punch that brings his son down to his knees.
"Kakarot! What the hell are you doing?!" Raditz shouts.
Kakarot stares down his son as he chuckles. "A child who is disobedient and says hateful things to their parents needs to be punished. Like so…" He grabs his son's arm to stand him up, and he throws a hard punch on the stomach with his free hand. He earns a scream, and he laughs lightly.
"Kakarot!" Gine can't watch for too long anymore.
"This is going out of hand!" Turles can't keep this going. He glares at Vegeta. "How long are you going to allow this to happen?!"
"Watch your tone, low-class!" Vegeta snaps at the Goku-lookalike. He growls a bit before answering. "I will know for sure if this is really him."
"Is it necessary to let Kakarot beat his kid up for proof?! He would never do that!" Raditz tries to convince Vegeta to place an end to it, but he earns a glare as a response instead. 'He has completely lost his damn mind.'
Kakarot throws several punches on the stomach, not pulling any at all. The child is unable to endure them anymore. He coughs after each one, and his Super Saiyan form drops.
ChiChi shakes her head as tears fall from her eyes. "Stop it! Leave him alone! Leave them both alone! Youzi, let them be!"
Kakarot stops, and he releases the kid. As the child drops and coughs, the Saiyan slowly turns towards the woman with a dark grin that makes a few others step back. "Your nagging is annoying me." He aims the palm of his hand towards her, and he fires a blast which anyone in the way jumps to safety to avoid. As it leaves behind a crater on the ground, Kakarot flashes in front of the woman and grabs her hair. "I'll just kill you since you obviously refuse to understand me!"
ChiChi's eyes widen, and they fill with anger. "The Goku I know said he would never kill me, no matter how hard he tried! He won't always say it, but I know that he will always love me, no matter what! He wouldn't even dare to hurt me!"
Kakarot snarls. "You're not very smart for thinking that way! Humans like you are foolish for believing such idiotic things!" He charges a blast quickly.
Vegeta narrows his eyes. "That confirms it. End it now!"
ChiChi clenched her fists. "Yī', èr, sān!"
Kakarot flinches, and the crown begins to glow, starting from the rhombus. He glares at the woman angrily. "Stop it…!"
"Sì!" ChiChi narrows her eyes.
The Saiyan screams as a force pushes him to the ground. He grunts, trying to stand, but nothing seems to work.
Karot crawls away quickly. Enough is enough with the kid. He distanced himself faster than anyone had ever seen.
Raditz doesn't move from where he stands. He would normally go to his brother to check on him, but something else bothers him. Turning around, he sees a man approaching them, completely unarmed. The Saiyan thinks the person is crazy for even coming this close to a group of Saiyans.
The mysterious man seems to not be angry about anything. He doesn't seem to be ready to do anything, actually. He just casually walks to them.
Everyone notices the stranger, especially Kakarot. The Saiyan somehow finds a way to push himself to his knees. Already, his hatred is pinned on the random man who finally stops walking.
The others look at the stranger suspiciously. Not taking any chances, they stand and prepare themselves to attack. Strangely, the stranger isn't intimidated one bit. He stops walking and looks at them carefully.
"I am merely a doctor. A scientist. My name is Klahms. Please, don't be alarmed." The doctor raises his hands in surrender.
Vegeta seems to have no interest on the random doctor. He aims his hand towards him to blast him down, but his eyes shift towards Gine who seems to rather keep the man alive. "Tch." He lowers his hand just to see what the woman will do.
"How did you even find us?" Gine asks with no hint of threat in her voice. She sounds more curious than annoyed. Her attitude towards this situation makes her appear very strange.
The man shakes his head. "I just wandered off on my own. I was really looking for the warrior princess. My mistake if I am incorrect on terms of title. A coronation did happen, am I right?"
Karot gawks slightly. For the man to mention the title is shocking. Not many know about it, but if he is a member of the military, it is possible. The child sends a nervous glance to his mother who bites her lip, like she is holding words in her throat at the moment.
"A warrior princess?" Nappa repeats this strangely, like he is trying to understand it. He mutters it to himself a few more times before he stops. He turns to look at ChiChi who seems a little uneasy.
The son of Kakarot feels the need to step close to his Human mother, but a part of him tells him that doing so may cause the stranger to leave without explaining why he knows about this. Instincts are dull on the child, but he feels that something is a little off about this. He can see from the corner of his eyes that his father is ready to attack.
The tension seems to rise a little in the atmosphere. Glances turn towards the woman, and the individual looks at her now.
There is no running away.
"I had no choice but to step in as queen." ChiChi speaks up. "I am at the age when it is necessary. I could had turned it down and lived a normal life, but due to my father's death, I had to take responsibility."
"I keep forgetting Kakarot married a princess." Raditz mutters, like the fact is embarrassing to say in a normal tone. "Does that make him a prince?"
"Not exactly." Vegeta speaks. "The throne is passed down to his children. Kakarot wasn't born with royal blood. He was a commoner. Marrying a royal individual simply makes him either cause her to give up her royal status, or he will have to adapt to it. Since she is still in the status… it is possible that he is a prince. He can't be a king of her kingdom, otherwise, he would have more power than her. Even so, it doesn't matter. He took the throne from The King of Earth." Finished with the explanation, he wants nothing more than to be left alone with the topic. Perhaps the fact that the mentioned low-class is a real king bothers him very much.
Despite that, Raditz is a bit surprised by what he just heard. "He could be a prince… insane. His son is already one."
Vegeta growls slightly. He had forgotten that Kakarot's son is an actual prince. Even if the child denies it and wants nothing to do with it, he is a born prince and is now The Prince of Earth. For a child who is fresh a decade old, it is a lot to swallow. He hardly has any class. The thought of it disturbs Vegeta in a certain way. It's embarrassing.
ChiChi seems unsure on what to do. "Is there a reason why you are here?"
Klahms bows. "I am here on my own will to give you important information, your majesty."
No one really expected anyone to address ChiChi that way. They look at her awkwardly, and ChiChi becomes even more uncomfortable. Looking at her husband, she can see that he is the only one itching to move.
Kakarot wants nothing with the man at all. Anger fills his eyes, reading his desires to spill the blood of the Earthling who dared to arrive. On his hands and knees, he forces himself to stand. Pressure from the crown tries to force him back down, but he does his best to ignore it. He reaches behind him with a shaking hand, and he draws out his staff. Aware that he is barely able to walk, his best bet is to deliver a killing strike using his Power Pole. Lifting the staff over his head, his eyes narrow.
Turles is the first to notice. "How is he even on his feet?!"
ChiChi turns around, and immediately, she tries to pin the Saiyan down again. "Wǔ, liù, qī…!"
Kakarot screams out as the crown grows much brighter all around. The powerful humming is nearly as loud as his cries. He drops this weapon and falls to his knees as he tries to pull the accessory off. Unable to bear it, he falls to his side and suffers.
The random Earthling is expected to be surprised by the accessory that is affecting the Saiyan. It seems that way, but his eyes are glued to a red staff that is hanging on to the Saiyan's back.
"That staff… I can't believe it is actually real." The doctor watches them carefully. "I heard legends on how it connected a palace. The limit of its magic is unknown… but it is very possible he can do more with it than just fight or guard… These Saiyans… their powers are…" He is cut off from his thoughts when he hears The Ox Queen switch to the region's native language.
"Huíqù shuìjiào." ChiChi growls, speaking directly to the demon within Kakarot's body. "Bā."
Kakarot gasps, and the red glow of his eyes fades along with the fog. His eyes land on the woman responsible. It seems that he had been brought back to reality. "Ch… ChiChi…" His eyes close as he falls.
He passes out.
That confirms it. Something is terribly wrong here, and it is definitely not under Kakarot's will. Gine was right.
"Whoa." Nappa seems somewhat fascinated. "It really was that demon…"
"Bother." Tarble places a hand on his forehead.
Vegeta looks at Tarble strangely. It appears that there is now a lot to be said, and it begins now. "I would expect you to know better. Aren't you normally informed of these type of things?"
The younger prince's eyes shift towards Vegeta. Already feeling pushed around by the current month's events, he replies rudely; "You normally wouldn't even bother to ask."
"It seems you're actually stupid in this situation."
"Don't be such a wind-up merchant!" Tarble shouts at his brother. His tail stiffens as a signal of sudden frustration. "Shut it! Enough!" Though his demand would probably startle a few, Vegeta chuckles teasingly. A typical response to Tarble's attempted stand-ups. His attempt did fly over a few heads. Some seem curious on what the short Saiyan was saying.
Kauli tilts her head. "Huh?"
Everyone else is just as lost. All except the Saiyan general.
"He's telling Vegeta to stop teasing him." Nappa shrugs. "I've been around Vegeta long enough to understand the phrases he would use. It seems Tarble speaks the same way."
It suddenly makes sense. Trying to understand the two is sometimes a challenge. At least the strange phrases are rarely heard. Otherwise, the others would consider on getting a dictionary.
A simple glance is enough to signal the focus towards the stranger once again. Vegeta's expression isn't easy to read, but it is no surprise that he appears a bit angry. The reason for it can be all sorts. Maybe one of them is a question on how the trespasser even managed to snake his way to this area.
With a small huff, the prince slightly tilts his head back to appear a little taller and even more intimidating than he already is. He speaks in a threatening tone. "You have 5 seconds to convince me to not kill you."
"Wow. Life sucks for him right now." Kauli comments more to herself, but Nappa nearby picked it up and seems to agree with a small nod.
"I will give you access to a chamber belonging to the military." Klahms answers quickly. Seeing no change in mood, he may just live.
Vegeta raises his hand to aim. "Shitty excuses."
The man drops to his knees and clamps his hands together, pleading for his life through his body language as he throws in another attempt to keep his soul in his body. "It's all classified! I'll hand it over and I'll let you kill me afterwards!"
"Huh?" Vegeta lowers his hand, looking more confused than he ever was before. Did that man just offer them precious information that even a common Earthling can't touch?
"Did he flew in from Stupid Town?" Turles asks Raditz who shrugs as a response.
Tarble walks to his brother's side. "We have no business with making arrangements for your kind. You're wasting your life by being present here. Off you go, if you please."
Vegeta pushes him rudely with a single hand. "Stop being so polite to the enemy."
"Well, pardon me for it being part of my personality!" Tarble pushes him back in the same fashion.
"You really are a mother's boy."
"At least I'm not named after a planet and my father. That there is ridiculous and confusing!"
The two growl lowly at each other while exchanging angry glares. This lasts for a few seconds before Tarble turns away with crossed arms, wanting no more disturbance on what is happening right now.
Today is not a good day to cross them.
Vegeta looks back at the stranger. "Alright. I will listen, but if you have any funny ideas, just know that you will be choking before you can carry it out. You say you wish to show us something."
"Yes.. that is true. I simply want this madness to end. I know it is a lot to wish for. There is a benefit here… it may give you the boost you need to deal with the monster that had been attacking places lately." The fact that he knows about Cell is a little surprising. However, the word was going to be out regardless. This was expected.
Vegeta seems to ponder on the subject for a while. "Are you a soldier?"
"Formally, yes. I left the military when I saw how wicked Chille was becoming." The man doesn't try to look at anyone since they now look at him like he is a foul living creature. It is understanding. None of them liked the insane man. They are more than happy to know that he is dead. Bad memory still lurks. Simply mentioning the Human's name is enough to spoil the mood.
Gine stares at the stranger for a minute. "He's fine."
"What?" Turles didn't quite catch that, or he is thinking that his mother had lost her mind for casually saying what she did.
"Don't worry about it. He is aware that he would die if he is not being honest." For a second, she looks at the man and her eyes flicker, appearing to pierce fear into anyone who was foolish enough to look into them. "Am I right?"
Quickly, the soldier nods without a word.
Vegeta makes a silent judgement, and he looks at Nappa. "Lock Kakarot away. I have arrangements to make."
As Nappa grabs the unconscious Saiyan, he asks with concern; "Are you sure about this? What if he is telling a lie?" He slings Kakarot over his shoulder.
"I am no fool. He'll be dead before he can even try anything. I don't normally allow an Earthling to come even near. What this man said peaks my interest, so we'll see if he is telling stories or holds the truth."
"I see." Nappa turns to make his leave. Looking back at the man, he gives him a glare as a small warning before heading off with a everyone else behind him.
Gine nods once. "Perhaps that individual is telling the truth. He poses no threat." She follows the others, speaking out what she believes. "I'm sure things will be alright."
"If you say so, then I guess what that Human said is true." Raditz has a little more belief. His mother is known to have great judgement, so to hear her say something good from the man means there is something good from this.

"Um. Okay… are you sure this is a good idea?" Yamcha eyes Kakarot nervously who is still asleep in the cell. He is probably the most afraid of the Saiyan. Krillin is expected, but Yamcha had known Goku longer than the monk has. He had dodged bullets with Goku many times before. The night of the full moon was probably instead, a cannon. "He hasn't even seen us yet. He'll go crazy once he wakes."
"Which is why I will stay here while the others go to work." Gine leans against a wall as she watches her youngest son carefully. She seems confident with her words, so it allows a few to relax.
Tarble walks to the center of the room. A few heads turn to him already. "May I have everyone's attention?" He looks around, watching other heads turn towards him. "My brother has placed a mission in action. We are heading off with the lone Human for answers, but keep in mind to stay on guard. There is still a chance this may be all a ploy. Vegeta has assigned a few to go along with him. A group too big may cause the stranger to not utter a word."
Piccolo doesn't seem to care. "What are the groups, exactly?"
"It is unknown to others that all of you are here. Therefore, bringing you over will bring an uproar. The brothers of Kakarot and Nappa will tag along. Everyone else will stay behind."
Nappa frowns. "Can't you take Kauli along instead?"
"Excuse me?" Kauli gives him a look that reads; If I have to go because of you, you're in for it.
"His mind is made up. Even if I go to him to request a change, he wouldn't bother to even consider it. It would be a waste of time." Tarble points outside. "He will join you soon. Head out and get going."
"Understood." Nappa bitterly responds. For him to be with even one of the brothers places a heavy burden on him. However, it seems a small break is placed on him.
"I'll stay here." Turles' announcement slightly upsets Tarble in some way.
"I beg your pardon?" Tarble turns to him. "You must realize that these are Vegeta's orders. You can't just walk away from your assigned position-"
"Maybe I don't want to do it." Turles responds rudely. His slight attitude causes the younger prince to look at him like he is a stubborn child. "I went with him to find my little brother. I'm tired of walking. It will do with just two with you."
Kauli crosses her arms. Her annoyance is clear on her face. "Sure. Be a burden to everyone, why don't 'cha?"
"This isn't the time to be so stubborn." Raditz gives his brother a warning, but Turles doesn't want to hear any of it.
The Namekian already had enough of listening to the small argument. He makes the decision to isolate himself from others by heading for the very back of the room. A few of the Earthlings may have the same idea, but seeing Piccolo not moving from his new spot, they decide to stay put.
Prince Tarble has enough of the stubborn behavior he had been getting lately. Firmly, he says the request again. "You must come along with us. Otherwise, Vegeta will hand it to you."
"Then let him. I had enough of being a lapdog today."
Krillin crosses his arms. He speaks with a slight chuckle to Tien. "They really are no different from Goku when it comes to trying to have them do certain things."
"I see that." Tien on the other hand, isn't very pleased. "This is going to be a problem in the long run."
"They just argue all day!" Puar floats next to them both. He nervously taps his paws together as tries to think of something else to say.
Silence lasts for only a few seconds, because Tarble lets out a small growl of annoyance.
Turles waits.
"Foolish." Tarble turns and heads out. "I'm surrounded by idiots."
"It's sad that I know how he feels." Kauli glances at Turles.
"Whoa." Raditz watches the prince go. "What's with him today? He sure has been moody."
Future Trunks had been quiet all this time. He seems hesitant to answer while everyone moves around to pick a place to sit or relax at the moment. "I guess I can say the fault is mine… I sorta got on his bad side."
"Smart." Nappa growls as he heads out after Tarble, and it becomes quiet again with the exception of a snort from Oolong.
Krillin sits in a chair near the door awkwardly. He taps his fingers together as he looks nervously towards the ground. Tien stands at the other side of the door, watching the three Saiyans take their leave.
The Android Twins are outside. They want nothing to do with anything at the moment. They seem to rather be out than in the ship with the others. It is very reasonable. No one can exactly relax.
Yamcha looks at Gine. The silence seems to bother him, but hearing how the female Saiyan is gentle and caring like Kakarot is towards those he cares for, he can feel a little more at ease. He decides to try small talk to ease the awkward silence. "So… you're Goku's mother, right? You're going to be here for a while or until we get rid of Cell or…"
"His name is Kakarot. He is no Human, so don't mention him that way." Gine responds rudely. "And don't think I am some dandelion. I am not fond of your kind and I would rather be out there than being present with you. Unfortunately, I have no choice since my son is suffering at the moment. Be kind and don't talk to me again."
A few stare at the woman in shock. They never heard her say something like that before.
"Oh, boy." Yamcha shrinks. "Okay. She's not so different from the other Saiyans after all. When it comes to us… that is. This day isn't going to end anytime soon- HUH?!" He jumps back at the sight of Kakarot looking right at him. 'When did he wake up?!'
Gine looks back at the cell. Without much of a word, she crouches down in front of it with a bright smile.
Kakarot stares for some time, completely confused. Seeing Yamcha instantly angered him, but seeing the smile from this woman calms him down immediately. Instincts tell him to trust her. For some odd reason, he wants to be close to her, like she is comforting in some sort of way.
"I am glad to see that you are feeling better." Gine opens the cell which alarms everyone. Such a move places danger on everyone, but Kakarot doesn't make a move. Gine crawls to him and hugs him tightly. "You don't deserve this. Not at all."
Everyone watches, a little worried that Kakarot may lash out. The Saiyan had been attacking his own family lately, but it is not under his own will.
Confused, all that Kakarot can really do be still. He picks up her scent, and memories flood in. His dreams seem to whizz by until he sees a mental picture of himself as a baby with his family. It shifts to the very same woman waving at him as the pod he was in as a baby takes off.
"What had they done to you, dear?" Gine mutters quietly. "You don't have to talk about it… but you have to listen. I know anger is filling your heart, but you have to place that aside. Everyone is working together to stop that Cell. I know this idea bothers you… but please… anger blinds judgement. Believe me, Kakarot…"
The word sounds foreign out of his mouth. He speaks quietly. "Mom…?"
"Do you remember me?" Gine pushes herself off of him and looks at him carefully. Seeing his confused face, she sighs. "Who am I kidding. Of course not. You fell on your head as a baby. I had my hopes up too high. At least you know who I am. Raditz must had told you about me."
Kakarot nods small, answering the sentence that was a potential question. He leans to his left and sees the others looking at him. A lot of questions will be asked later. Whatever this is… he hates it already. As much as he wants to kill them, some invisible restraint is keeping him calm and in one place. It has to be the presence of his mother.
Oolong hides behind Piccolo, but the Namekian rudely kicks him aside.
"Listen to me, Kakarot." Gine places her hands on his shoulders while looking deep into his eyes. She speaks in a gentle tone, like a mother speaks to a frightened child. "Everything is going to be okay here. You have nothing to worry about. Raditz, Nappa, and Tarble went with Vegeta to run an important errand. You just sit tight, okay?"
For some strange reason, Kakarot feels himself nodding. He relaxes at last, and he looks towards the ground, trying to understand what just happened.
Seriously. What just happened?
How did she do that?
Kakarot sits with his back turned. His tail is completely still. He stares off in the distance, watching whatever is outside. May it be the birds or the trees, he isn't looking away. A small frown formed on his face. His thoughts fill his head. 'I don't understand what it is that you want me to do.'
"You know very well. Carry it out."
The demon's voice is in his head. It always is, so overtime it just became normal to him. He would often find himself having a conversation with the demon just because he is bored.
He doesn't even know what the demon is truly plotting, but the monkey had drained and tortured him so much, he doesn't even care anymore. He has no motivation to even try to fight it.
He is oblivious. He has no idea that he can barely even think for himself… or maybe not anymore. He is mentally drained, and the sort of brainwashing the demon did basically made him not fight whatever the demon does to him.
Really, he doesn't question Youzi's plans anymore. He simply allows the demon to do whatever. Besides, trying to stop it only hurts. With each day, he further accepts whatever Youzi is doing to him. His sanity had been played with until the demon finally got a hold of it. It was shattered or completely changed.
His sense of humor is still the same, but at the same time, it changed. For some reason, Kakarot smiles when he sees a lone Earthling lost in the woods. He laughs when he torments them. He finds it hysterical when he kills them slowly and painfully.
As of now, he is bored. He can't stay . He wants to leave the ship and go hunt for Earthlings who were stupid enough to do the woods. However, for some reason, he can't.
The desire is absent. That woman there… not only did she calm him down before he lost it…
… she pinned him down without forcing him with chains or anything.
So… that's how ChiChi does it with their kid...

The four Saiyans fly low behind Klahms, glancing around now and then to make sure they aren't being set up. Arriving at the barren town, they can finally catch a break after traveling for 7 hours. The Human is horribly slow, but thankfully, he had a vehicle to drive to make things go faster.
The town is one of the few that are the closest to Mount Pazou. It took them 5 hours for them to "drive" their way through the place. It is when they realized just how huge the place is. Arriving at a town is a little relieving. Like most places, it is rubble from the destruction that occurred years back. It once stood as a prideful little town. Now, it is just ruins.
As they approach it closer, Tarble appears slightly angry at his situation. After explaining Turles' stubbornness to Vegeta, he already knows what he is going to get.
"You couldn't convince him to come along?" Vegeta angrily looks at his little brother who walks by his side. He earns no response, which answers his question anyway. "You still fail to gain some authority."
"And you still fail to shut that annoying mouth of yours." Tarble responds in a quiet mutter.
"How about you stay quiet or I will break your jaw to shut you up?"
They had been like this for some time, and the two Saiyans behind them are suffering from it. How long is it going to last?
The world may never know.
Nappa picks up his pace, noticing that he is lagging behind. He watches the two princes converse a little before Klahms ahead slows down.
"This is it?" Vegeta asks this as the Human exits his car while slinging a bag over his shoulder. The prince and the others land on the ground at last.
"That's right. I said I would give you an advantage towards that Cell guy. I do have a question. After all of that is over…"
"Let us be, and you might live." Nappa seems to know what the man is asking. "Kakarot is your only concern."
"Right. Right…" He nods and begins to walk over the rocky piles that once were the structure of many buildings. "In order for this advantage to work, I am going to need a bit of assistance."
All eyes are on Raditz already.
"Seriously…" It is all that Raditz can say as he walks a little past everyone. He sees the man kicking aside rocks. A building still stands. It appears to had took heavy damage, but it was strong enough to resist a fall. Cracks decorate the stone structure all around. A wooden door doesn't seem to fit the style, but at the same time, it does. The man opens the door, and he steps aside to allow the others inside.
"I will show you to the room." Klams promises. "All you have to do is complete a simple task."
Raditz eyes the man suspiciously. He doesn't trust the words very well. However, if this is the only way to fully understand the situation, he might as well try to see what the offer might just be.
They all enter the building, and already, they see a huge blanket covering something.
"Alright. All you have to do is uncover this machine, and I will see if I can get it running…" The man walks around it carefully.
"Uncover?"
"Just pull the sheet off."
Raditz eyes it carefully. He tugs on it, and it doesn't budge. He tries again several more times, only for the same results to keep occurring. He is really trying to be careful with it. If he pulls too hard, either the sheet will rip and become unusable, or whatever is underneath will fall and break. That is if the object is fragile enough.
"It is clipped against it."
Raditz pauses, and he looks below. Clips are indeed holding it down.
Vegeta facepalms.
"... I feel like an idiot." Raditz sighs. He mentally facepalms as well.
After unclipping the sheet, he pulls it free. A strange vehicle is revealed. It appears to be some sort of tank, but it is modeled more like an all-terrain sort of jeep.
"This is what will help the situation." The man climbs in and screens rise from hiding behind the steering wheel. "I don't want to come off as rude, but as I said before, I will need help."
The Saiyans watch as the man goes on with his work. Vegeta seems to sense something off about this.
"Raw power is amazing, isn't it?" The man goes on. "People say I am crazy for being obsessed with it. Perhaps it is an unhealthy habit. But… at long last, I can finally see the limits and break down those walls."
"Break it down?" Nappa asks. He is already getting a bad feeling from this, so he stays on guard. "What are you talking about?"
"This is a simple thing. That is all." The doctor types in a keyboard, and the screens do their work. The vehicle drives out the building, and the Saiyans follow it outside carefully. It stops feet away and turns around to face them. "The power of a Saiyan is extraordinary. It can be brought to bigger heights. It is no surprise on why the military is so obsessed with you… such as I!"
"What?!" Vegeta growls.
"Time to amplify!" The doctor presses a button. A strange gun rises from his vehicle. "Raditz, you are my test subject! I'll begin with locking in!"
On the screen, a scope moves around and locks in on the alarmed Raditz who turns around and faces the machine.
"What the hell is this?!" Raditz demands for an answer from the tone of his voice.
"Get out the way!" Nappa warns the low-class. "We'll handle him!"
"I'm afraid doing that is too late." The doctor chuckles. He does get a surprise visit when Vegeta suddenly flashes behind him, now standing on the back of the vehicle with crossed arms. "You got from down there to up here in a split second. You teleported?"
"It's not teleportation. Your eyes are just too damn slow for your brain to understand that I simply ran up here." Vegeta rudely answers.
The doctor seems impressed. "They can run from a short distance faster than any one can blink. Extraordinary. The abilities of these Saiyans never cease to amaze me." He presses a button, and a sudden force blows Vegeta off his feet and sends him flying.
"Prince Vegeta!" Nappa rushes for him.
"I don't want to be rude. I am simply trying to help." Klahms says proudly.
"Someone, stop that Earthling!" Vegeta sits up quickly.
Nappa suddenly appears right in front of him.
The doctor simply chuckles. "Eager, are we? I'm more interested in the brothers, but I guess others can be worth the effort. This is my most successful creation yet. I'll spare you the details and let demonstration do the talking!"
Nappa snatches his arm, suddenly in front of him, now. "I don't think so. A mere Human like you dies easily here."
"Gotcha." The doctor laughs lightly.
"What?"
"Firing!" Klams presses a button. What appears to be circular red waves hums out the gun and slams onto Raditz. The struck Saiyan grunts as he plants his feet on the ground to keep himself from blowing away. At the same time, he has his arms crossed over his head to shield himself.
Nappa turns around and sees what is happening. "What is going on?!"
"Alright. He is trapped in the waves." The doctor types again. "Now then, you can hear me, Raditz? It is time to wake up, and cause mass destruction! Wake up and destroy! You're on a violent rampage!"
"What did he say?!" Nappa is alarmed.
Tarble is even more shocked. "How does he know the trigger command?!"
Raditz grunts, and his eyes snap open, completely red. The waves go on as he throws his head back and his arms in the air as he screams out in pure rage.
"What is going on?!" Prince Tarble is lost. He turns towards the doctor. "What the hell did you do?!"
"A Saiyan's true power only shows when they are completely engulfed in rage!" The doctor explains. "Which is why I created this to make your kind reach heights you never knew existed! Anger gives you a power boost, so to be enraged makes you far more powerful than you will ever imagine!" He turns back to Raditz. "Can you hear me, Raditz? Use all of your abilities to the max!"
The Saiyan snarls, and energy engulfs as his hands fill with static, forming a purple sphere of energy.
"That's his Weekend attack!" Nappa identifies the forming blast. "And… it's power is…!"
"Get out the way!" Vegeta shouts.
Raditz unleashes the blast. It is twice as big as normal, and way faster. Vegeta is forced to jump and dive for safety. It flies by the prince and it slams into a cliff, destroying it completely.
"This isn't right." Tarble says. "To force a Saiyan to become enraged is a death wish! He's gone berserk! He can't even think, so he can't transform into a Super Saiyan at will… which is the only good thing…"
Raditz fires another blast. Vegeta ducks, and it flies over his head. Another is unleashed, and another. Energy blasts fly everywhere, destroying anything in Its path.
"Amazing! This is truly amazing! The test is a success!" Klams cheers. "All it takes is a trigger command, and the Saiyan goes violent! Thanks to the machine, his powers show their true colors!"
"Damn him!" Nappa clenched a fist.
A blast flies towards the others. They lunge out the way and watch it fly past and take down another surviving building.
Nappa looks at the princes. "Is there a way to stop this?! He has the potential to destroy the planet! We'll all get caught in the blast and die!"
Vegeta huffs. "Don't take me as a fool. That is obvious. I'll just have to knock him out."
Tarble sends a quick warning. "Don't be so rash! That man might use his device on you, as well!"
Klahms watches the destruction go on a while longer before nodding. "Interesting. If this is from a pure-blood, then the halfbreeds are far stronger in anger. Alright. This is done." He presses another button, and the waves stop.
Everyone stops themselves from attacking the vehicle as soon as the anger in Raditz's eyes fade. The Saiyan seems lost and confused on what just happened. Seeing the doctor jump off and press another button, he is even more lost.
The vehicle turns into a capsule. The man picks it up and stuffs it in his pocket. "Sorry to startle you. I should had gave out a warning to prevent the conflict." He looks at the others. "Perhaps it causes you to not think, but with that on top of a power up, and you may just stand a chance against that huge threat everyone is dealing with."
"Don't think you can just leave after what you just did." Vegeta's words don't help. He witnesses the man tap a watch that is worn on the left wrist, and the device causes the doctor to teleport away. Just that quick.
Words attempt to come out of Raditz's mouth, but instead, his eyes flutter shut, and he falls to the ground.
Nappa walks towards the passed-out warrior. He picks him up from the ground. "Whatever that was… it sucked the energy out of Raditz."
Tarble shakes his head. "Why did we even bother? I guess we should had killed him when we had the chance."
"No. It's actually a good thing that we never did." Nappa's words earns him crazy looks. He explains carefully. "I'm beginning to think that what he said is true. If Raditz got that strong… what about…" He looks off into the distance. "Better question is… what if the most powerful among us isn't who we would expect?"
"What are you saying?" Vegeta isn't pleased with this.
"Someone had been doing better than all of us all these years, and even he has no idea."
-0000-
Karot places a block on top of another, building a tower. Feeling accomplished, he reaches for another. Suddenly, a small hand knocks it down. He sighs as Baby Trunks laughs at the destruction caused.
"How about…" A hand grabs the child's arm and pulls him to his feet. "you go to the information room and finish today's studies?" ChiChi releases the arm and watches him head off.
"Yes, mom." He obeys without a complaint.
ChiChi nods. "Meanwhile… I have to get the kitchen together…" She reminds herself about the task, and she heads for the kitchen to get it done.
Turles leans against the wall. His tail steadily beats against the wall. For a while, he had been watching his mother, Gine, speak to Kakarot. It doesn't seem to exactly annoy him. A tinge of regret could be seen, but it can not be confirmed. A pencil is in his hand as he writes on a notepad, probably writing a few notes, but it can't be for himself. His insane memory makes notes unnecessary. Sometimes, he glances at where Kakarot is. Why is his brother sometimes looking at him?
The reason is only known by Kakarot. He had been a little suspicious towards Turles, but not in a bad way. Seeing his behavior has the youngest brother in thought. Turles is one of the few who can't stand being around Kauli for a minute. Kakarot simply chuckles quietly. "This is sorta amusing."
"Quit staring, or I will stab your eyes out." Turles points the sharpened pencil at Kakarot, but the threat doesn't faze him. He sighs, and he looks at his mother this time. Watching her makes him frown slightly.
"Something bothers you?" Future Trunks sits on the ground near his uncle, polishing his sword. At the other side of the room, his baby counterpart is happily throwing blocks at Oolong, who is using his arms to shield himself from them hitting his face.
Turles remains quiet. Watching his mother, he hears his childhood voice in his head. For a moment, images flash through his head until he sees himself as a child stranded on Planet Scorch, screaming out in fury;
"My family abandoned me! They wanted me to die!"
"Uncle."
Turles shakes his head and snaps out of his thoughts. He looks at the lavender-haired teen. Seeing the concern, he tries to look normal. "Tch. Worry about yourself, brat."
"Everyone seems to call me that…" Future Trunks sighs.
"Don't worry about him, Trunks. He's just a whiny little bastard." Kauli's insult makes the teen nearly choke on his own spit. She walks by with her head held high as Turles growls at her with clenched fists. Miraculously, the pencil didn't snap.
Future Trunks nervously looks at Gine, expecting her to be angry at what Kauli just said. Instead, the mother seems to find it funny. It is so strange, but Saiyans defiantly have different views and standards than Humans. He can't help but think the reason behind Gine's smile isn't what he thinks.
The teen stands and heads for the kitchen for a small snack to hold himself until dinner. He grabs an apple from the counter, and he walks past the sink that ChiChi is busy with. Heading for the information room, he sees Karot sitting on the desk, writing on some paper.
"He must be doing his studying. There is no point in bothering him now.'
A couple hours pass by. He hears the door of the ship slide open. The teen stands quickly and rushes out the information room. He sees the two princes walk in with Nappa carrying Raditz on his back.
Who is, unconscious?
"Father!" The teen immediately reaches for the Saiyan. Getting no response, he looks at Tarble. "Prince Tarble, What happened?!"
"The doctor has a few screws loose." Tarble begins. "He's obsessed with our power. Some sort of machine forced Raditz to go ballistic, but there are no concerns. He'll be just fine."
Gine smiles softly. "Thank you, Prince Tarble."
"Oh, don't thank him. He was the only one who didn't even attempt to save him from that madness." Vegeta sticks a thumb at Tarble's direction. "I had to do most of the effort, so you should be thanking me."
Tarble glares at Vegeta. "Well excuse me. I didn't know that your ego stacked that high."
"I didn't know that you are so focused on that, considering that you don't have any!"
"Don't get so snotty. I needed time to focus!"
"How could you focus when you are blind?!"
"You don't need to see to focus! Did you hit your head, that it made you forget?!"
"Not again…" Future Trunks can't handle them arguing anymore. It will drive him insane. He simply decides to walk away from all this. "At the rate this is going, this can pass off as your typical reality show."
"I wish there was some way to stop them. They might start fighting and everything in here will be history." Chiaotzu looks at Tien who silently agrees.
Turles huffs as he watches the two royal Saiyans go on with their small argument. "Look at those two, and they call themselves a prince." He takes his leave, going down a hall.
Baby Trunks laughs as he throws another block. It bounces off of Oolong's head.
The pig snorts with an annoyed attitude. "He's picking on me because I am a pig. I might as well turn into a man and we'll see who's bigger."
Puar frowns. "I don't know if that is a good idea. The only one besides Yamcha and his friends who knows what we can do is Goku. Do you think he told them already?"
"I doubt it. If he did, then those Saiyans would be all over us." Oolong shuts one eye as a block strikes the side of his face. "I also discovered something new about myself."
"What's that?"
"I don't like small children." Another block hits the pig.
Baby Trunks giggles as he claps.
Chiaotzu floats to the two. He had heard Oolong's complaint and tries to ease things. "He's not that bad. He's just a baby. All babies like to throw things."
"He just can't handle him." Puar teases the pig.
"How about you stand around and get hit by blocks all day?!" The pig responds.
Chiaotzu laughs lightly. "You can't handle a baby at all? I guess not. A single flick and" he taps the air, and due to his psychic abilities, the air ripples. "you're sent down to the ground."
Oolong's ears rise due to his slight anger. "Watch. I can handle him. I'll prove it to ya!" The pig looks at the baby and speaks firmly. "Hey. No more blocks. Got it, squirt?"
Baby Trunks blinks. He sets his block down.
Oolong grins and looks at the two floating near him. "See? I can handle him without too much of a problem. He's annoying, but he's not so bad-"
A toy truck flies towards his face and it knocks him down faster than anyone could blink.
"Oh, my." Puar places a paw near his mouth. The trunk had stuffed itself inside Oolong's mouth.
"You were saying?" Chiaotzu asks.
The pig spits the toy out. "Shut up." He stands and dusts himself off. He looks at the baby who claps happily. "I'll tell you one thing. That baby has a strong arm. That must be his Saiyan strength. Remind me to stay away from him when he becomes a Terrible Two."
Yamcha, who watches from the distance, sighs as he shakes his head. "Even the little one is dangerous…"
"He sure is." Krillin agrees.
"Yeah, but I can't help but wonder who the kid's mother is."
"Uh-oh." Baby Trunks giggles, like he is teasing the man.
Deeper in the ship, a door flies open and slams on the wall.
Turles walks down the hall that leads to a store room. It is not commonly used, so going down the hall in a long walk is pretty rare. To his right is a small hall that leads back to the control room. Just as he passes it, something seems off.
He stops, hearing noise.
"Ah, ah. Ah, ah."
Looking towards the control room, he hears what sounds like… singing?
Indeed it is. The same voice that seems to soothe anyone who hears it.
"He got older, but never grew. For his life he can't tell the truth. How to love he ain't got a clue. Playing games like he'll never lose, you."
He recognizes that voice.
"Try to talk to him, can't get through. Every day he's a different dude. These are the signs of a grown ass boy. Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real."
Turles peers his head around the corner. It is enough to see, but not enough to be noticed. His tail moves steadily behind him.
"You can't raise a man. He's already grown, what'cha gonna do?"
Kauli sings softly as she pours a gallon of water in a bucket. What she could be doing with it doesn't really come into thought. Her singing is in English, meaning trying to understand her is impossible.
"You wonder why he acts like a boy, if he wasn't raised right before you."
Curious, he watches her work around the room. She seems to be running errands.
"Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody, if he don't wanna, you can't make nobody. 'Cause you can't raise a man. No, no."
"Excuse me."
Kauli screams, and she throws the bucket in the air as she spins around, throwing a punch at the one behind her.
It is Tarble who ends up crashing against the wall. The bucket falls on his head afterwards, spilling water all over him.
Turles blinks.
Kauli covers her mouth with a slight gasp. Nappa and Future Trunks rush in to see what is going on, and they freeze instantly. "I… I'm so sorry!" The Saiyan female bows rather clumsily. "I'm so very, very sorry!"
"No need to be. I should apologize." Tarble spits out water. "I startled you pretty bad." He sighs.
Seconds of awkward silence passes.
Kauli is unable to hold it for another second. She actually laughs. "Look at you! You look ridiculous! HAHAHAHA!"
Nappa and Turles clench their teeth in slight fear, expecting the younger prince to snap. Tarble had been in a bad mood lately.
However...
Tarble chuckles as he lifts the bucket off his head. This is unbelievable, but to hear him laugh is actually relieving. "Sorry for interrupting your singing."
"No, it's fine. I should apologize for laughing my ass off about you, but still!" The woman tries to hold back her laughter.
"Well, I am curious on why you never told anyone that you could sing before." Tarble says. "You have a really great voice."
Kauli waves away the words. "Oh, please. The song I was singing isn't even mine. My mother listened to it a lot, back when I was a little girl. Ironically, my father is the complete opposite of what that song was about."
"You were singing in English, so I am sad to say I didn't understand a word. Still, what a great talent you do have."
Kauli shrugs. "It's not very helpful. Thanks for the compliment, though." She smiles slightly. "It's been awhile since anyone has said that."
Future Trunks chuckles, but he jumps hearing a snarl and a pencil snap. "Huh?" He turns and sees Turles glaring at the prince. When did he get here?! He had never seen the Saiyan look at Tarble that way before. It is actually intimidating. "What's bothering you?"
Turles grumbles. "I'm fine."
"Something tells me that you're not…"
"I said, I'm fine." Turles turns and walks out, dropping the pencil pieces on the floor. His steps are a bit hard, but they thankfully don't draw attention.
The teenager still isn't convinced. "You know, Saiyans aren't good at hiding their anger."
A random notepad flies towards him like a bullet, and it whacks him on the face.
"... Ow."
Kauli placed a hand under her chin. What she witnessed was a little strange, even coming from Turles. "Man, what's with everyone being in a sour mood today? Is it a Saiyan thing or what?" She shakes her head and walks after Turles. "Hey! Sour puss!"
"Who says that anymore?" Turles stops and turns with bared teeth. It doesn't scare the woman one bit, which annoys him further. "What do you want with my life? To torment it forever?"
"Uh, nuh." She raised a finger and lowered it as she responded.
"Then, go mind your own business."
What the Saiyan just said to her makes no sense. Kauli places her hands on her hips as she speaks with a hint of anger in her tone. "You were just talking to me literally seconds ago, and now you're basically telling me to shut up?"
With crossed arms and shut eyes, his eyebrows twitch as he speaks;
"This little, pointless, and dumbass conversation we just had means more than you think."
He begins to walk away with a huff.
"At least in my perspective."

To the male readers out there, no. This song is not to bash you. This song is basically how Kauli looks at Turles.
We good?
Okay. Good.
Aside that, this chapter was difficult to type. Seriously. I had no idea on what to even type in it for a couple of weeks. It is getting harder and harder to write now. It's annoying. *Looks to the right.* OH CRAP! *Flees*

Question Time:
Q: I was drinking a drink and I was searching if you updated yet and when I saw you did I just choked on my drink and clicked on your book.
A: Oh, wow. XD Is it really that good? Now I wonder why I am so hard on myself.
Q: it makes me sad every time i go on to fanfiction or wattpad because the first thing i do is search this book to check for updates and then when i see that there are no updates i cry myself to sleep. your book/s are by far the best DB,DBZ,DBGT,DBS and DB Kai fanfictions i have ever read keep up the amazing work.
A: Aw, thanks! This brings a smile to my face. Sorry for another long wait. I will try to update as soon as I can for the next chapter. I hate to torture readers with long waits. I know how that feels.
I had been reading "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Silver Resistance" by ScytheRider since I was 12, and the author updates once a month or every two months or even longer than that, I think. They recently updated last week. I never clicked so fast. XD
Yes. It is on Fanfiction. If you are a PMD fan, read it.
ScytheRider is one of the few people who INSPIRED me to write! That is why I gave you this story today!
Next Time:
*Insert DBZKai "episode preview theme" here*
Kakarot: (cheerful) Hey! It's me, Kakarot! We are getting closer and closer to tracking down Cell. We can kill him once we find him!
ChiChi: (angry) There is no way you are bringing our son into this fight!
Kakarot: (upset) But, ChiChi… he's strong enough to handle his own in a fight! He's been better than me when I was his age!
ChiChi: (angry) Don't "but" me! I say he won't fight, and that's final!
Kakarot: (disappointed) Are you saying his studying is more important that saving this planet?
ChiChi: (huffs) Yes. In fact, it is! I refuse to allow our son to be influenced by you Saiyans any longer! The same goes for the baby there!
Raditz: (angry) Hey! Don't pull my kid into this!
ChiChi: (snaps) Shut it! You're a terrible father for raising your son to be violent!
Raditz: (sighs) She is even more stubborn than Kakarot…
Kakarot: (laughs nervously.) Ever heard of The Chinese Zodiac…? I bet on my tail she is a Metal Ox…
Kakarot: Next time on, "The Dissonance of The Earthling Saiyan"! Chapter 8! "A struggle between two worlds"
Yamcha: (watches from the distance) And Goku is more of a Monkey. They really are a good match… even if many say not…
REVIEW! REVIEW!
To be Continued to Chapter 8!
Upcoming Chapters: (Read at your own risk!)
Chapter 8: "A struggle between two worlds" When the investigation of Cell turns into a full-fledged fight, it seems the creature realizes just how dangerous the fighters are. He makes plans to counter against it, or to turn the tables.
Kakarot and ChiChi are looking more into what they may be dealing with, but two different perspectives may just be a bigger problem. ChiChi sees that her husband will need more saving than what was previously thought needed. To stay alive, she has to try to look deeper into why the Saiyan does what he does.
Chapter 9: "Standby for battle! An alliance in hot water?" Everyone is prepared to fight Cell… who is a true threat like no other! But… the truce that was formed is shaken with Kakarot being the main issue! His strong hatred towards the Human race may just shatter what has been built up! How much longer can he truly stay in one place? Cooperation is one thing. Tolerance is another. It seems the Saiyan will have to work on both!
Chapter 10: "Operation: Extermination! Watch out, 18!" With Cell now in everyone's sights, one mission is clear: "Kill him!". With the combined forces, it should be enough to take down this walking humanoid insect, right? Not when his eyes are set on 18! Everyone is on guard to actually keep her and her twin brother from the monster's reach! How long can it actually last?!
Chapter 11: "Step forward for the chances, "Goku-wannabe"!" With Kakarot impossible to control, the unlikely team has no other choice but to take their plans to another path! A sadistic Saiyan who refuses to obey anyone and would rather kill his own temporary companions is far too dangerous to even be around! Turles is left with an unexpected role he never saw coming. The question is; will he comply, or will his own "selfish sin" get in his way?
Then again, not only is he in a situation that leaves him questioning his power. When reality strikes just what he is really feeling just as his brother's suspected, it brings another issue that may have him distracted more than prepared!
Chapter 12: "Crossing paths again" If things can't get any worse… it just did! Questions are asked left and right about what is really going on! Everyone seems to have a dislike towards the same person for many reasons! A nightmare for one returns, and heartbreak for another! What is really going on?! Raditz may just be falling for the same tricks again!
