Hey guys...It's been over a year now...Yep, I've got nothing. There's been so much stuff going on in my life, and since I'm approaching high school graduation, I had so much on my mind. I've written pieces of this chapter from time to time, but I never had the motivation to finish it. Funny thing, the reason I finished it today was because I remembered it and how long ago I completed my last chapter, and I said, "Screw it, I'm doing this." So here I am. Thank you for being extremely patient guys. I hope this chapter will satisfy you. Don't worry, I'll try to make another chapter this weekend. If I don't, barrage me with messages so that I can be reminded. In the mean time, after thirteen months of waiting...enjoy!

Rainbow Dash begins her descent as she smiles in glee for what she just did. She touches down on the island of Kame House, and she looks toward the sky behind her to see the shining rainbow that she created. The pegasus has done the Sonic Rainboom before, but this one is different. Her Sonic Rainboom seems much more powerful than before, and since she is getting older and she's been practicing this so many times, it's no surprise to her that her technique and skills have improved. However, there's one fact that stays in her mind. She's only thirteen. If this is true, then she can only imagine how strong she will be when she grows up. What she doesn't realize is that her training will be put to the test multiple times, and her strength will be far greater than she could have ever imagined.

"That was awesome!" a voice yells behind her.

Rainbow Dash turns around to find her audience standing not too far away. She was so mesmerized by what she did that she didn't even here the loud cheers of her little brother, and it was Krillin that finally brought her back to reality. "Thanks," the pegasus replies with a grin. She trots over to the group, and she looks at her friends. "Well, did you like the show?"

"I'll say," Master Roshi answers, "It was a sight to see." He looks over to her father and continues, "Oh, and Goku?"

"What is it Master Roshi?" Goku replies. Within the split of a second, Roshi smacks Goku in the back of the head with the wide side of his cane. "Ouch! Hey, what was that for?!" Goku reacts, putting his hand on the area on the back of his skull where the cane struck.

"How dare you try to kill your own master!" Roshi yells. "I warned you about not surprising me, yet you did it anyway. You really are attempting to give this old man a heart attack, aren't you?!"

"I didn't mean to, honest," Goku answers with a slight smile on his face.

Everyone begins to laugh in response to the incident, and a light, happy atmosphere's created as all of them are having a good time. Out of all of them, Rainbow is enjoying it the most. She gets to finally meet some of the friends that her father has been talking about for years, and they're as friendly as she thought they would be. She finally found some friends of her own.

These thoughts of hers are pushed to the side when she suddenly feels a very dark force closing in on them, a darkness that's hard for her to imagine. In response, the pegasus changes to a serious expression and quickly spins to the direction she believes it's coming from.

Around the same time, Goku feels the energy himself, and reacts the same way as his daughter by facing the same direction as she. In his life, he's faced the forces of evil before. However, this one is different. Not only is this power the strongest that he has ever sensed, but the scariest part of all is that it also feels similar to his own. It feels to Goku as if he and this other force are related.

"What is it you guys?" Krillin asks in confusion after he sees Goku's and Rainbow's expressions. Meanwhile, everyone else is startled by their change in tone as well.

"There's something bad heading straight for us," Goku answers, still focused on the energy he's sensing.

Bulma responds, "What? Are you sure Goku?"

"I'm positive. I've never felt a power like this before."

"It's almost insane," the pegasus adds.

Krillin finally notices the energy as well, and he says, "Yeah, I feel it now, too."

Still ignorant to the tension of the situation, Bulma stats, "There's nothing there you guys."

Like her father, Rainbow Dash's thoughts are racing through her head as she feels the power getting closer and closer. "What the hell is that?! I've never sensed this kind of power before! It's just... awful." Awful is the best way she and her father can describe it. Because of this, all they can do is wait there anxiously until it finally arrives. It didn't take long.

"Look, there!" Goku yells once he sees something in the sky. That's when everyone notices it, too.

"Yes, I see it, Goku!" Roshi tells him.

Everyone but Rainbow can't see it clearly yet due to her vision being stronger than the others. The pegasus is stunned by what she sees. It's a person, probably male, and definitely not an ordinary one either. It's the hair that she first notices, and the first thing that comes to her mind is that it looks like it belongs to a black version of Sonic the Hedgehog. The clothing is beyond weird; his brown and black armor with pointy shoulders doesn't look very inviting. To her, the part that's making her nervous is how fast it's going. It seems to be just as fast as her.

"Who is that?" Goku asks himself.

"It's not Piccolo, is it?" Krillin says before the inevitable happens. The intruder was right in front of them.

While everyone gets into there defensive stances, the stranger looks at them, mostly Goku, with a devilish grin. Since he's now up close, the others can now see a strange, green device on his left eye. The man face turns into a serious frown as his ear piece starts to light up with yellow characters. As this is happening, Goku and Rainbow look at the intruder with a mixture of frustration and anxiousness because of their lack of knowledge of what's going to happen next.

After a few moments, the stranger smirks once again, and he finally starts talking as follows: "Hahahahaha, so we meet again at last." His device stops blinking before he continues, "You've grown up." Goku is startled by this. Did he know him? "I recognize you though, Kakarot."

Immediately, Goku and Rainbow's faces change to being solely confused. "Kakarot?" both of them say in uniformity.

The stranger responds, looking straightly at Goku, "That's right. That's your name."

"Okay, what now?" the pegasus thinks to herself. "Since when was dad a guy named Kakarot? Who even has a name like that? Must be some kind of idiot. This dude definitely has the wrong guy."

Goku was just as confused as she was, for he's now staring at the guy blankly with a loss of words.

"Who is this guy?" Krillin asks Goku from behind. "He must be nuts."

"Kakarot!" the stranger says again with more of a vicious tone, "What have you been doing here for all these years?" The man continues, now pointing at Goku, "Your mission was to determinate all life forms on this planet. Why haven't you been carrying it out?"

Now the rest of them are dumbfounded. Goku and his daughter's mouths slightly drop from what the guy was saying. Rainbow continues to look at the man, not knowing how to process what she just heard. Meanwhile, Goku turns to his friends to see if any of them have any idea on what's going on. Based on what they're doing, all of them are as confused as he is. After a few moments, Krillin breaks the silence, "I don't know who you are, but you've got the wrong guy." The man strangely smiles from that statement. Krillin then flicks his wrist as if he's telling a stray cat to get off his property. "Shoo, shoo," he says before stopping and continuing, "I think you've been dipping in the eggnog. Allow me to escort you off this island."

Suddenly, the man's ear piece blinks again, and something starts to glow on his midsection. Goku immediately responds by yelling, "Krillin, watch out!" However, it was too late. Without warning, the thing around the strangers midsection uncoils, and it slaps Krillin right across the face. This sends the midget backwards with great speed heading straight towards Rainbow Dash. In response, the pegasus leaps in the air, and she hovers there using her wings. Krillin continues to go backwards until he slams through the side of Kame House, leaving a gaping hole in it. "Krillin!" Goku yells, but Krillin doesn't respond expect with twitching.

After looking at Krillin like this, Rainbow turns around yelling, "Why you little," before she stops, widens her eyes, and quits using her wings, causing her to land on the ground. She can't believe what she's seeing. The thing that the guy used to slap Krillin is certainly not a belt. The way it sways back and forth and how it has a furry texture make its identity all too clear. Goku does the same thing, and when he realizes what it was, he quickly stutters, "A-a tail?!" Everyone's flabbergasted at this moment. How in the world can this strange man have a tail exactly like Goku did when he was a boy. It made no sense to any of them. "I don't believe it," Goku continues, "He's got a tail, too!"

"That's good," the man responds, "I wondered how long it would take for you to recognize me."

With everything happening at this moment, Rainbow Dash has only one thought on her mind."I'm so confused right now."

During the whole ordeal, Gohan has been pulling on his father's leg, oblivious to the meaning of the fact that the strange man has a tail. Bulma tried to pry him off from his father, but it was no use. Even Goku has a hard time trying to push him away as he's talking to the strange man. "What are you-...I-... I've never seen you around before." Goku proceeds to look back at his son to try to let go of him.

Suddenly, a blue blur passes Goku's leg as Rainbow Dash grabs Gohan and takes him back towards the house with the rest of the group. Gohan protests by flailing his arms, but Rainbow would have nothing of it, and she hugs him tightly to try to calm him down. Bulma looks at her and whispers, "Thanks, I would've done it if you didn't." Rainbow nods to her in response. Goku sighs from this in relief as he finally doesn't have to worry about Gohan.

"Kakarot!" Goku turns back to the strange man as he's been called by that weird name again. In an angry tone, the man asks, "You mean to tell me that you don't remember me?"

"I have no idea who the hell this Kakarot person is," Goku replies, "but I'm not him. My name's Goku."

Stunned by those words, the stranger steps back and says, "What happened to you?" The man tries to process what's going on. "Okay, so Kakarot doesn't seem to remember me." He watches as he sees the little boy go up to Kakarot again. This time, both he and the pony thing try to remove the boy by force. "It's so strange how he can live with such ridiculous creatures. Does he even know of his assigned objective?" After he thought of this, an idea comes to mind.

"Kakarot!" the strange man yells again. Goku turns to face him once more before he continues, "Tell me, did you hit your head as a child?"

Master Roshi seems to take interest in this question. Even Rainbow was startled by it. She remembers when her dad told her about what his grandfather told him. As a baby, Goku did hit his head, but he recovered and is here today. Why does it matter now?

"What?" Goku asks confused.

"When you were a kid, did you ever hit your head?!" By this point, Rainbow comes back to realization of what's happening and takes Gohan back with her once more while the conversation continues. "Did you hear me!" the man yells at Goku.

"Yeah, I don't remember it very well, but you're right. I did hit my head when I was a child. I still have a scar from when it happened."

The man groans as he hisses, "You stupid fool, you forgot."

"I forgot what?!" Goku retorts, "Tell me!"

"Goku," says an old voice from behind them. Everyone turns to Master Roshi as he continues. "There's something that your grandfather told me that I think you should know.

What he proceeded to tell the group blew all of their minds. Apparently, Grandpa Gohan found Goku as a baby, while he was inside a an alien pod. He took Goku and cared for him as one of his own. However, Goku was vicious at first, making it nearly impossible to take care of him. This was until Goku fell down a cliff and hit his head on the rocks. Amazingly, he recovered from the fall, and he even had a complete change in attitude, being a happy, loving boy ever since.

"So are you telling me that I'm from outer space?" Goku asks his former master.

"Yes."

Bulma budges in as she comments, "Well that explains a lot."

Goku is overwhelmed by what's happening. His whole life he didn't even know where he came from, and to now know that he's from a completely different world, now he can truly say that he feels out of place. Then there's Rainbow Dash. That pegasus is now awestruck by the whole situation. All her life, she felt out of place, and she would think that her dad was the one that connected her to this planet. Now that she knows that even he's been misplaced, she can feel an even bigger connection with him. At the same time, she can't imagine what he's going through at the moment. Living in a world that's not yours is one thing, but to realize that you never had any idea that you were misplaced until you were raised here, that must be tough.

"So do you think I'm somehow connected with this guy?" Goku asks Roshi.

"I wish I knew."

In response to this, Goku turns to the man and says, "Okay, you've gotten my attention. Now tell me who you are!"

The man chuckles and replies, "Well, I wasn't expecting to give a history lesson when I came here today, but why not. You will be working with me, and I do like my subordinates to be well informed "

The pauses for a second as Krillin is scene waking up from the blow he got beforehand. "Are you alright?" Goku asks him.

"Yeah, but be careful Goku. Something about this guy doesn't seem...normal."

"I can tell. Even when I'm talking to him right now." Goku turns towards the man again before continuing, "Everything about him, it just turns my stomach."

The man smiles before responding, "Such harsh words, but I would be careful if I were you. We're much more alike than you think." He pauses as the air's tense around them. Goku is sweating as he anticipates what's about to be said next. "You were born on the planet Vegeta. You are a space fighter, a saiyan warrior, just like me." Everyone's startled by those words, especially Goku. What followed next, however, released the devastating blow on everyone's minds. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Raditz...your big brother."

More fun stuff are up ahead. There weren't many changes from the original dbz show, except with the addition of Rainbow Dash. However, next chapter will be fun to write. To put it simply, How will Raditz react to Rainbow Dash as Goku's daughter? Find out next time as I see you guys later!
