37 The Tailed Warrior (1/2)

Year: 761, Month: October, Day:12

*Boom* A space pod crashed in a rural area, far away from the cities. A hatch then opened and a man climbed out of the space pod.

The man had long spiky hair reaching down to his calves. He wore Frieza Force's battle armour and a scouter. The man had a monkey tail wrapped around his waist, the man was certainly Raditz!

”So the creatures on this planet are still alive, Kakarot had failed us!” He said.

”S-Stop! W-Who are you?!” A farmer pointed his rifle at Raditz.

*Beep Beep* His scouter sounded.

”A battle power of only 5? Hah, what utter trash!” Raditz ridiculed.

Raditz saw the man standing in front of him, he calmly walked towards the man, step by step.

”S-Stay back! I-I'm warning you!!” The flustered farmer yelled in warning. He had thought a meteorite had hit his farm and came to check the crater, never had he expected a man to walk out of the crater.

”Waaah!!” The farmer closed his eyes and pressed the trigger.

*Bang* A bullet flew toward Raditz' face.

*Dong* Raditz calmly grabbed the flying bullet, with a flick of his fingers, he sent the bullet back toward the farmer. The bullet hit him clearly in the head, blood spurted out as the man fell down dead.

”Hmph, what a planet of weaklings,” Raditz said arrogantly.

*Beep* His scouter sounded.

”Someone strong is close by, distance 4880, is it Kakarot!?” Raditz turned his head to the direction the scouter pointed to and Raditz flew toward the wasteland in the distance.

...

”What is that!? I've never felt so much power!” Exclaimed Piccolo sensed a strong Ki moving quickly towards him. He turned his head toward that direction in alarm.

”It can't be Goku it's too horrible!” The closer Raditz came, the more alarmed Piccolo was. Raditz Ki was much stronger than he had expected, so much he lost all hopes in fighting against him.

Raditz landed in front of Piccolo and said in annoyance, ”I'm sorry for dropping in I'm trying to find a man called Kakarot, I thought that you were him,” Raditz had thought he found Goku, unfortunately, he had flown here for nothing.

”Well you thought wrong, Now turn around and get out of here before I get angry.” Piccolo noticed Raditz' tail, the only ones he had ever seen with monkey tails were Tarro and Goku.

”Well someones having a bad day,” Raditz said.

”Believe me you have no idea, now get lost!” Piccolo clearly did not like the tone Raditz spoke to him with, but there was nothing he could do with the huge Ki of his enemy.

”Hehehehehe... Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you,” Raditz said and pressed the button on his scouter.

*Beep, bibibip*

”A battle power of 733, quite high for someone on this backwater place, no wonder you're so cocky.” Said Raditz boastfully, looking down on Piccolo.

”What!?” Piccolo stared at Raditz' scouter in shock. Tarro had once scanned him with a similar device that he had created to tell him his power level and knew his battle power was over 700 with his weighted clothes on.

”But you'd be a fool to attack me with such an insignificant power level,” Raditz said and showed a wicked smile.

Piccolo sweated bullets, Raditz' unrestrained Ki pressured him as he felt the hostility toward him.

”Hehehe.” Raditz lifted his arm with his palm facing Piccolo.

*Beep Beep Beep* Suddenly, Raditz' scouter sounded.

”Well, I guess it's your lucky day green man. An even greater power is nearby!” Raditz turned his head to stare in the distance.

”There it is, distance,12909.” Raditz flew up high and checked his scouter.

”The battle power has got to be the highest on this planet, it has to be Kakarot's!” Raditz believed Goku as a Saiyan would be the strongest on this weak planet.

...

”Huff, Huff, Huff. I don't believe it! I was frozen in fear, his energy was even stronger than teacher's?” Piccolo said as he dropped down on his knees, his forehead filled with sweat. Tarro had never shown a power level over 1,000 to Piccolo and this guy's had to be at least 2 or 3 times that. And because Piccolo had never asked about the tail, he had no idea what the tail represented. But what he did believe now was that each and every person with a monkey tail seemed to all be incredibly strong.

...

”Wow, it's been so long since I've been here!” Bulma said happily as she walked into Kame House.

”Oh, Bulma,” Krillin and Master Roshi exclaimed.

”Wow, it's really been a long time, since you only come when someone asks you to,” Roshi said.

”Yeah, well I've been busy with work. Anyway here I brought some filled buns as a present like you've been asking for,” Said Bulma taking out a wrapped box.

”Nyahaha thanks, I'm so happy that I could squeeze you,” Roshi grinned, making a groping action.

*Blam* Bulma hit him over the head and thought, 'Why did I ever think he could change.'

She then said, ”If Tarro were here I'd have him beat you up, you pervert!”

”Hmm, oh yeah, where is he anyway?” Krillin asked, taking the box.

”Oh, he said that he was just finishing up some training and that he would be here in an hour or two,” Bulma replied.

...

”Hey is anyone home?” A voice from outside said.

”Goku!” All three of them said and went outside.

”Yo!” Goku said.

”What's up with the kid you babysitting or something?” Krillin asked.

”No, he's my son,” Goku answered.

”What, your son!!!” Master Roshi and Krillin shouted.

”Wow, Gohan's really gotten big, hasn't he?” Bulma commented.

”Huh, you've met him before Bulma?” Krillin asked surprised.

”Yeah, when he was born me and Tarro went to visit them,” She replied.

”Oh yeah, where is Tarro anyway, I don't see him?” Goku wondered. {A/N: Goku didn't say sense since Tarro suppresses his Ki so it can't be sensed or picked up by scouters.}

”Hmm, oh, he'll be here in a couple hours since he is busy training,” Bulma answered.

...

After the next few scenes played out, with them talking about Gohan, Goku suddenly sensed a powerful energy.

”What is it Goku,” Master Roshi said.

”T-There's something bad heading straight for us,” Goku said looking around to see if he could spot it.

”What, are you sure Goku?” Bulma asked, doubting him since she can't sense energy.

”Yeah, I'm positive, I've never felt a power like this before!” Goku said looking even more worried.

”Hmm, yeah I feel it now too!” Krillin said and Roshi nodded as well.

”There's nothing there you guys,” Bulma said, confused.

'What is it, I've never felt something like this before, such an awful power,' thought Goku. 'And it's even more powerful than anything I've sensed coming from Tarro.'

...

”Look there!” Goku said, suddenly seeing the person.

”Oh, yes, I see it Goku!” Roshi exclaimed.

”Who is that?” Goku said.

”It's not Piccolo is it?” Krillin asked still traumatised from being zapped.

'This isn't going to be good, I smell death in the air,' Master Roshi thought.

...

As soon as the person landed everyone was on guard and scared.

”Hahahahaha, so we meet again at last,” The armoured man said, ”You've grown up... I recognised you though you, Kakarot, you look just like your father.”

”Huh, Kakarot?” Goku said, confused.

”That's right, that's your name,” Raditz replied.

”His name?” Bulma said also confused.

”Kakarot, what have you been doing all these years. Your mission was to exterminate all life on this planet, so why haven't you carried it out?”

Then Goku looked around to see if anyone knew what the man was talking about and Krillin stepped forward and said, ”Listen, mister, I don't know who you are but you've obviously got the wrong guy, now shoo, go home.”

Suddenly Goku shouted, ”Krillin watch out!” and Krillin was sent flying.

”Krillin!” Goku shouted but then realised what had hit his friend, it was a tail!

”EHHHHH!?” Everyone was surprised, there was another person that had a tail other than Goku, Gohan and Tarro.

...

”Ehh, I don't believe it, he has a tail too!” Goku exclaimed.

”Good, look's like you finally recognise me,” Raditz said.

”What are you talking about, I've never met you before,” Goku said, confused.

”Kakarot! You mean to tell me you have no idea who I am?” Asked Raditz.

”I don't know who this Kakarot guy is but my name's Goku,” Goku replied.
