Episode 2: Kakarot

{name:PICCOLO#|#picture:8}

Piccolo's eyes widened in the face of the terrible might that stood before him. Just feeling out his ki, and he could tell that this alien's strength far exceeded his own. The prospect of it terrified him.

He raised his arms to block as the alien flew towards him before suddenly stopping to ask a question.

"Kakarot? We don't know a Kakarot."

Piccolo inside was trembling at the thought of this alien's strength, as it wrung through his shaking voice.

"Who are you?"

[Sequin]

{name:GOKU#|#picture:4}"..."

Goku couldn't understand the anger Chi-Chi had inside her.

"Okay Chi-Chi, I will let you come."

Goku had no choice but to let her come.

"Kinto-Un!"

Goku called.

Then a nimbus appeared before him.

"Gohan! Come out! It's time!"

Goku called to his son through the window.

He hopped on Kinto-Un.

"ChiChi! You coming?!"

He waited until Chi-Chi comes out.

{name:CHI CHI#|#picture:5}Chi Chi nodded in approval and followed her husband and son onto the nostalgic yellow cloud, climbing up onto it, a smile on her face as she patted the cloud.

"Hello Kinto-Un, its been a long time."

Sitting on the cloud, Chi Chi called out to Gohan.

"Gohan!"

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:GOHAN#|#picture:3}"I'm coming!"

Gohan ran over to exit the house outside where his parents were waiting for him. He giggled as he caught sight of the familiar Nimbus cloud; his favorite ride.

"Yay! Kinto-Un!"

He climbed up onto the yellow cloud to sit on his mother's lap, excitement beaming from his two wide eyes and exuding from the large grin clear on his face.

{name:RADITZ#|#picture:2}They didn't know Kakarot? How could they not know Kakarot? He should've been half way through destroying the entire planet by now. Everyone should have known who he was.

Raditz' anger flared. They must have been lying. That was probably it.

He dashed at the Namekian before kneeing him in the stomach then grabbing him by the white scarf piece around his neck; holding him up to face level.

"I'll ask you again. Where is Kakarot?!"

He turned to the weakened three eyed man; Piccolo still in his grasp and an angry gleam in his eye.

"Well? Where is he?!"

[Sequin]

{name:TIEN#|#picture:0}Tien finally got up to his feet.

"I don't know who Kakarot is!"

Filled with rage, Tien flew up and shaped his fingers like a diamond.

"Tri Beam!"

Golden bolts bolten through Tien's diamond shaped fingers.

Smoke flowed around Raditz, making him disappear.

Tien flew down, chuckling. He thought he had defeated him, but he will be shocked to what happened to Raditz.

[Sequin]

{name:GOKU#|#picture:4}"To the Kame house Kinto-Un!"

Goku ordered Kinto-Un.

He could tell his family is having a good time, riding Kinto-Un.

He looked back at Chi-Chi and Gohan who was laughing and smiling while having their hair blowing behind them.

Goku laughed at them.

No sooner or later, they arrived at the Turtle Hermits's place.

Kinto-Un stopped near the shore.

Goku hopped off.

"Guess who's back!!"

Goku called to the house.

Goku remembered the ol' good times he had with Krillin, Bulma and Master Roshi.

As he heard footsteps, his face turned to a grin.

[Sequin]

{name:PICCOLO#|#picture:8}Piccolo tried struggling, but it was no use.

Then, he used his knees to kick Raditz in the guts.

He was finally free.

"Who is this monster with such high battle power?"

Piccolo was then paralyzed with fear.

He tried to take deep breaths.

He wasn't sure of what to do with this monster.

He then looked at Tien, who was flying in the air, shouting something.

Piccolo watched with anxiety.

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:KRILLIN#|#picture:1}"GOKU!"

Krillin came running out of the house to greet Goku as Kinto-Un landed just to run humorously backwards in fright once he caught a glimpse of Chi Chi.

"Oh and *shiver* Chi Chi..."

He couldn't help but notice the kid that the couple seemed to have brought along with them.

"Master Roshi! Come on down! Goku's here!"

Gathering his composure and getting over his fear of Chi Chi, Krillin walked up beside Goku and quietly asked, one hand shielding his mouth.

"So Goku, what's with the kid? You babysitting or something?"

[Sequin]

{name:ROSHI#|#picture:9}Muten Roshi walked out of the house, muttering strangely to himself.

"Why have you called me Krillin, can't you see I was finishing up this magazine full of ho--"

Then Roshi caught a glimpse of Goku and Chi-Chi.

"Goku! It has been a long time! Have you trained?!"

Roshi seemed happy his old student was back.

Then he saw Gohan.

His mouth dropped open.

"...Goku..."

His voiced cracked.

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:RADITZ#|#picture:2}It seemed that the three-eyed being had found a second wind, shouting out the name of some sort of attack. Distracted, Raditz lost his grip of the Namekian after being kneed in the gut, staggering a little bit before refocusing on the airborne human.

Did these two really know nothing of Kakarot?

"Pathetic fools!"

Raditz raised his hand to block the attack, his scouter's numbers increasing erratically

"Battle power rising?"

A cloud of smoke filled the area. The alien warrior was nowhere to be seen. Several moments passed, when suddenly the alien warrior re-appeared behind Tien to elbow him on the side of the neck and knock him out.

"Lights out, funny man."

The human now lying motionless on the ground, Raditz, still in the air turned to Piccolo; who stood there in fright.

"What about you? Will you be more co-operative Namekian?"

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:GOKU#|#picture:4}"Hiya guys! Its been a long time hasn't it?"

Goku turned to help Chi Chi get off Kinto-Un before hearing the questions that Krillin and his old master were asking.

"Oh right! Krillin, Master Roshi; meet Gohan, my son!"

Goku looked down gently at Gohan who hid behind his leg, bidding him to introduce himself.

"Go on, Gohan, say hi to Krillin and Master Roshi."

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:GOHAN#|#picture:3}Gohan shyly crept out from behind his father's leg; looking down at the ground. Politely, as he faced them, Gohan clasped his two hands together and bowed.

"Hello everyone. My name is Gohan."

His attention quickly turned to the tortoise that seemed to be watching as a smile appeared on his face.

He ran over to where the tortoise was and patted it.

"Hello, Mr. Tortoise, nice to meet you."

[Sequin]

{name:CHAOZU#|#picture:6}Chaozu was just getting lunch when he returned to the place where Tien was fighting.

As soon as he saw Tien, almost beaten, he dropped his lunch.

"Oh my God! Tien!!"

Chaozu flew down to where Tien is. Lying down.

"Tien?"

He looked him in the eyes.

Then he looked at Raditz, chuckling menacingly.

Chaozu stood up.

"Drill Attack!"

Chaozu shouted. He then spun himself around and launched himself at Raditz, headfirst.

Chaozu felt his head smash against Raditz. He jumped on his two feet.

He didn't know if Raditz survived. But this was the only time to get away.

He then dragged Tien's body away into the distance.

Shortly, he warned the Namekian warrior to leave.

Then he flew off again.

[Encore Orchestrator]

{name:RADITZ#|#picture:2}"What is it this time?!"

Raditz screamed as he was again staggered by yet another surprise attack. He barely caught a glimpse of the attacker before he seemed to drag off the limp body of the fighter that he had dispatched earlier; disappearing from view quickly.

Tricky warriors these earthlings seemed to be.

The Namekian, however, still seemed to remain.

"Well?! I'll ask you again! Where is Kakarot?!"

The alien warrior tapped a button on his scouter as it made several calculations.

"Ah. There. South. That must be him. The highest battle power on this pathetic planet. I expected much more, but this must be him."

Raditz gave a contented laugh as he once again shifted his gaze to the Namekian, watching what he would do next.
