Raditz

"What is it, Goku?", asked Krillin when he noticed him being so focused on something.

"Someone is coming over here" answered Goku.

"It's better not Yamcha", grumbled Bulma.

"No, that someone is not a friend", answered Byo and scoffed a little that she still thought about that guy while she was cheated on. "By the feeling he emits and the smell I'd say someone very vile. It's the smell of blood", he added.

"Yeah, it's someone very strong. The KI I feel is also disturbingly large..." Goku was pretty much the same opinion.

"Haha...Are you saying Yamcha is weak?" Krillin chuckled wrily and tried to lighten up the mood but soon the person they were so aware of was able to be seen by them as well.

Raditz landed right in front of them and looked at them with a frown.

Byo looked back at him and had really to judge this guy a complete hedgehog with that massive hair hanging down his back. That really defied all gravity logic. Maybe it was a trait that they inherently had because their home planet had larger gravity?

"So you have grown up, huh? But I can recognize you right from the get-go, Kakarot. You look just exactly as father," said the man with a weird smile.

"Huh? What is this guy talking about?" asked Krillin. It was obviously confusing hearing someone talk like that that they didn't know.

"Kakarot, what is with the status of this planet? You were supposed to exterminate the living beings on it so we could sell it. Did you actually fail in that?" Raditz was just ignoring everyone else and focusing solely on his brother.

"Hey, buddy. Listen up. The last thing we need here is some drunks running around spouting weird nonsense." Krillin was annoyed and approached Raditz without care. Well, he had confidence as a martial artist but to this point, he was just not able to feel KI yet.

"Krillin, don't get near him!" But that warning was too late for him and he got bitchslapped by the brown tail that was wrapped around Raditz's waist.

Byo suddenly reacted on instinct and caught the bald guy in his tracks before he smashed into the Kame House.

"Ugh....Damn, that much power just from the tail? I didn't even see it coming..." Krillin grumbled and slowly got back up. "Thanks for catching me, Byo."

"Hoo? There is actually another Saiyan on this planet." Raditz noticed Byo's tail right from the start and was genuinely surprised. Tapping his scouter he scanned Byo.

"Just a power-level of 57? What the hell are you? Not even our scientists were that weak. Tsk, but it should have still been enough to get this planet crushed. So you both failed your job. Have you both forgotten your mission? No...You should not have forgotten me. Did you get a blow to your head or something, Kakarot?"

"My name is not Kakarot. I am Goku and yes, I do have a scar. So maybe I did get a hit to my head as a child but that doesn't change anything.", answered Goku truthfully and entered his fighting pose.

"Goku, when Gohan found you he said he had found you in some weird white ball like crip that was in some crater. He had taken you out from it and buried the artifact. Gohan had also told me that you were rather rebellious until you fell and got a hit to your head." Roshi started to explain something that he once heard from grandpa Gohan.

"I see. that explains a lot. And what about you?", asked Raditz and looked at Byo.

Byo was already frowning from the previous words said to him and glared at Raditz. "None of your business, hedgehog."

"What!?" Raditz actually got annoyed by that remark. "A weakling like you dares?" Raditz even wanted to act but suddenly his scouter acted up and he calmed down.

With a sigh, he looked around and then noticed Goku having no tail anymore. "Damn it. What did you do with your tail, you idiot?"

"It got cut off some time ago...", frowned Goku. "Who are you anyway?"

Raditz got angry again. "I am your elder brother, Raditz! And you are Kakarot from the Saiyan race. Your people need you. And if there is even the slightest part of your old self remaining inside your head I will get it back out."

"What? Goku is an alien?", asked Bulma now. That surprised about everyone besides Byo. "That means Byo is also a what? Saiyan, was it?"

"Looks like it. Seems like this day is getting rather eventful.", commented Byo himself.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Goku still rebuked that claim.

That got Raditz to laugh lightly. "It is simple. When you were a child you had a low power-level. Babies like that were sent to other planets to capture them and destroy the inhabitants. Luckily this planet has a moon. All that is done so it can later be sold to another race that buys it. If you had done your job properly I would not have been so mad. As a grown-up Saiyan, you would join up a task force of a few Saiyan and go to more dangerous planets."

"So you are warmongers.", said Roshi.

"If that is true then they make Piccolo out to be like some child that has anger issues.", added Krillin.

"Wait, what do you mean with lucky that there is a moon?", asked Goku.

"That one I may answer, Goku." Byo intercepted that question. "When there is a full moon I...or, in this case, I guess "we" turn to giant apes."

"Wait! That is the reason for your transformation!?", asked Bulma now.

"What? Did I actually transform into one?" Goku was suddenly worried and looked at his friends.

"Sorry, Goku..." Bulma was saddened by the fact that he had to get to know it like this.

"Then I was the one at fault with grandpa?" Goku clenched his fist.

"It's hard to control the transformation.", added Byo.

"That is because low-level warriors tend to never be able to get it under control.", snorted Raditz.

'You are one to talk, chump.' Byo frowned at that remark.

"But with your tail gone even that is now impossible. Still, I will give you a choice. Do what you were sent here for and I will take you with me. Otherwise, I will destroy this planet myself and also get rid of you..." Raditz was now finished playing around and straight-up threatened them.

"No way in hell will I join you! I am Goku and I am an earthling!" Goku was now angered and charged at Raditz.

"Tsk, pathetic." The only answer was a knew to Goku's stomach that got the air out of him.

"No! Leave my daddy alone!" Gohan ran towards Goku.

"No! Don't come over here!", shouted Goku back.

"Oh, look what we have here. You actually mated with these earthlings? Unbelievable." Raditz smirked and grabbed Gohan by the tail. Gohan went straight limp.

"Urgh, let go of my son!" grumbled Goku.

"Then you better fulfill your duty or else you won't see him again. I may even take him away. And you." Raditz pointed at Byo now. "You are useless trash so don't bother."

That irritated Byo and he charged as well. Byo had some previous knowledge of some martial arts like taekwondo and kickboxing so he used that here.

His initial charge even surprised Raditz for a second but he still caught his leg and then twirled him around letting him crash on the ground at the side.

He seemed to press his scouter again. "Hoo? You are the angry type, are you? You actually increased your power to 170? But it's going back down. Well, maybe there is still some use for you. Anyway, you know how this works." Raditz slowly went up into the air. I give you a week at most. Get it done or get lost, Kakarot."

With Gohan under his arm, he flew away.

Byo groaned and coughed on the ground. The impact was incredibly hard and he felt his bones creaking. "Urgh...So much for that. Damn, my old wound got reopened." He could already feel some blood underneath his bandages.

Launch walked over to him. "Hey Krillin, you still got a few Senzu? Could you give him one?"

Krillin looked over. "Oh? Yeah, I got some. You had an injury? Damn, wait eat this." He handed him a green bean.

Byo took it and crunched it. It tasted extremely bland like paper-mache but the energy that he felt resurfacing inside his body let him sigh out in relief. it felt so good to have no pain any longer.

"Thanks for that. That sure is the way launch had explained it. Pretty useful things, those beans."
