38 Raditz, Fight! (1/2)

”Hehehe, I'll tell you what, seeing how your power levels are more or less equal, how about we make a little game out of this. It's called which of you can last against me the longest, the rules are simple, I cause you a great deal of pain and you roll around in agony. The loser is the first to beg for mercy,” Raditz explained.

”That's it I don't care stong he is, I'm not going to stand here and listen to this, I would prefer to die,” Piccolo said.

Then Raditz started laughing and said, ”Don't worry green man, we'll get to that in due time!”

”Hey, don't get ahead of yourself, you haven't beaten us yet,” Goku said.

”Hehehe, don't worry Kakarot, I know an easy win when I see one. I'm a Saiyan it's what I do,” Raditz said.

”Come on, Goku lets finish this Guy, we'll charge him together,” Piccolo said, getting more annoyed.

”Wait! Not until he tells us what he's done with Gohan, now where is he, where have you hidden him?!” Goku asked angrily.

”Right your little son, you really think you're going to save him. Who's getting ahead of themselves now?” Raditz said.

”This is the last time going to ask you now where is my son?!” Goku shouted.

”Hehe, spare me the fatherly dramatics, he's over there in my space pod,” Raditz said.

Goku then flew up a bit to get a better view and told Gohan to stay there as he would be there in a minute. Then after Raditz said he should say his goodbyes Goku got pissed and came back down and got in a fighting stance with Piccolo doing the same.

”Alright, let's do this!” Piccolo said.

Then after the duo stared at Raditz for a while they charge forward.

The fight began with Goku and Piccolo both trying to hit Raditz, but he easily just dodged all of their attacks. Then when they tried to attack him from behind he simply kicked both of them away with both his legs and started flying.

Goku and Piccolo then flew up to attack him but Raditz fired two energy beams down towards them, with then just barely dodging. Then Raditz managed to sneak up on Goku and kick him from behind.

Now both Goku and Piccolo were already tired, and Piccolo with one arm destroyed from the beam attack.

”Hehehehehehe, what's the matter down already, you could at least try to make this more interesting for me, you don't want me to get bored do you?” Raditz said, grinning.

”Ugh, huff... Piccolo huff... are you alright?” Goku asked, breathing heavily.

”Huff... don't... worry about me, I can still... manage with only o-one arm,” Piccolo said holding his severed arm.

”Fuahahaha looks like your deaths are drawing closer and closer, huh!” Raditz said, laughing maniacally.

”Hey Goku, if you've got any new attacks you've been working on now might be a good time to use them,” Piccolo said.

”Hehe, sorry can't say I do,” Goku said.

”Hah, you slacker, while you've been relaxing with your family I've been working on a new attack,” Piccolo said.

”Fools didn't I already tell you that any plan you come up with won't work on me. So whisper all you want, it's futile!” Raditz said.

”Huh, so you think this new attack of yours has enough power to do some damage, Piccolo?” Goku asked.

”Yes,” Piccolo said.

”And you can do it with only one arm?”

”Yeah, that's no problem, the real problem is that it will take some time to charge up enough energy for it,” Piccolo explained. ”So you'll have to hold him off on your own for a while, but it's your decision.”

”Alright, if you're sure it'll work, I'll hold him off,” Goku agreed since it might be the only way.

”Well, the truth is that it's untested, I've never used it against an opponent,” Piccolo said. ”I was hoping on saving it to defeat you.”

”I see, and now you're using it to help me instead, you must be pretty disappointed,” Goku said.

”No, I'm not, since this will be a good test and if it works, then I'll be using it against you next,” Piccolo said.

”Haha, figures,” Goku said.

”You know that wasn't actually intended to be funny,” Piccolo said.

Then Raditz thought, 'Hmm, what are they planning?' and Goku said, ”I'll be sure to watch out the next time we meet, but for now wish me luck.”

”Alright then, do your best, Goku,” Piccolo said, and Goku charged at Raditz again.

Then Piccolo began charging his attack while Goku was basically getting beaten up.

Then when Goku got hit and flew back he flipped into the air and started charging a Kamehameha.

”Ka...Me...”

*Beep Beep* ”What, his power level is skyrocketing, 1,300, 1,350?!” Raditz exclaimed.

”Ha...”

”He's able to concentrate his energy in one place?!” Raditz said.

”Me...”

*Beep Beep* ”What his power level has gone up as well, it's almost 2,000?!” Raditz exclaimed again, looking at Piccolo.

Then suddenly, ”HA!!!” Gou fired his Kamehameha at Raditz.

But instead of running away like he did in the original story, Raditz stood his ground and stuck his hand out towards the blast, like he did in the original.

After the cloud of dust disappeared Raditz stood there shaking a bit from the attack.

”Damn, he cancelled it out!” Goku exclaimed.

Then Raditz said, ”Let me show you how it's done, Brother!” and threw his own Ki blast.

It hit Goku straight on and when he fell to the ground Raditz rushed over and was about to punch him when he suddenly remembered Piccolo.

”Hehe, let's see you block this one!” Said, Piccolo.

*Beep* ”Damn, he's gathered all of his power in just his fingertips! What, a power level of 1880, I won't be able to block that!” Raditz exclaimed after checking his scouter.

”TAKE THIS, SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!!” Piccolo yelled as he fired his attack.

...

...

After the dust had cleared and Piccolo saw Raditz still alive he said, ”H-He dodged it! What amazing speed!”

”H-Hehe that's quite the attack, you easily went through my armour,” Raditz complimented.

”T-That doesn't mean anything unless I hit you! Damn it all for nothing!” Piccolo said.

Then just when Raditz was about to fire his Double Sunday and kill Piccolo he suddenly stopped.

”U-Ugh, w-what the!” Raditz said turning his head.

”Hehehe, you got careless, didn't you,” It was Goku who had managed to sneak up and grab Raditz' tail.

After Piccolo had started to charge up his attack, Raditz managed to trick Goku into letting him go and was now stepping on his chest.

”Whahahaha, you idiot, your way to soft to be a Saiyan warrior if you let your enemies go as easily as that!” Raditz said, laughing. ”Now prepare to die!”

Raditz then stated stepping on Goku even harder and then Goku started screaming. Then suddenly a huge power level was shown nearby on Raditz' scouter so he looked around and suddenly Gohan burst out of the space pod.

”WHAT!!!” Piccolo and Raditz shouted in surprise.

”A power level of 1730, impossible for a kid!” Raditz exclaimed. ”A-And it's still going up!”

”L-Leave my dad, ALONE!!!” Gohan shouted and charged at Raditz, covered in energy.
