-Espeon804

- Prologue -

"Take it down! Shoot it down!"

Rapid gun fire. Soldiers are lined up with heavy guns hard at work to shoot down a treat. They seem stressed. Everything they had tried failed with every single attempt.

A flash of green flies past a soldier. A green tail coils around his neck. He screams as he is yanked off the ground and he disappears in the bushes.

Guns fire at that direction. The green figure leaps out.

"He's taking us down one by one! Do not lower your guard!" A soldier fires hard. "I repeat! Do not lower you- AAAAHHHHH!" His ankle was snagged and he was pulled from the ground. His gun clatters on the ground.

"What does that thing want?!" One soldier fires at the direction he saw the green disappear. He is knocked down by something heavy. He falls on his back.

Cell places a foot on his chest. Bullets bounce off him. He looks at the soldier as the tip of his tail hovers over the man's neck. "I'm just in the mood for a drink. That's all." He stabs the needle in the neck, and his tail sucks the man dry until his body is absorbed. All that remains are the man's clothes.

The other soldiers are in disbelief. Their faces fill with horror.

"Ah! Whaaa!" A soldier steps back and flees, but a tail snags him. Others continue to fire. Their efforts are futile.

"Please do keep it going. All of you will be a part of me soon." Cell throws his victim to the ground and stabs his arm with the needle. He hums as he sucks him away as well. "When we meet again, Saiyans… I'll be stronger than before. Enjoy yourselves while you still can…"

He chuckles as he looks towards the other soldiers who are running away.

"I'll be prepared."

- Chapter 1: Spiritual manipulation? Fantasy vs. Reality! -

Nearly 30 years ago… in a distant Planet Vegeta… a baby boy cries out for the first time. He was born among the most feared warriors in the universe… but the moment he was born, they knew there was something different about him. Not only was he seemed as strange by his mother, but he was born with a power level of 2, the lowest recording reading of a Saiyan infant in history. His nature was very odd for a Saiyan. At most times, he was happy and cheerful, but doctors feared for his future due to his violent outbursts that makes him dangerous in time. However, that side of him hardly surfaced since he was mostly kind and gentle. Saiyan frowned upon him and his family which was mostly weak to begin with.

His mother, Gine, knew how her son was said to be irregular… unheard of, as the tiny warrior continued his wailing. She herself knew her youngest son would stand out as a unique kind of warrior, so instead of naming him "Karot" she added two extra letters to symbolize his differences, and his small power… but with the two combined, she knew deep within herself… after hearing his endless cries, that one day… he would grow up to become a great warrior. That name was "Kakarot". "The cry of a great and unique warrior"

Upon his birth, his big brother, Raditz, was 7 years old at the time. Raditz disliked Kakarot by not just his lack of power, but the face that he seemed to be a replacement of Turles, a brother Raditz and his family believed was killed in Planet Scorch at just the age of 3.

Due to Kakarot's small power, he was assigned to be sent to a planet with weak inhabitants with only one mission: Destroy all life forms.

Little did Kakarot knew… that his father was fighting his way through to face the evil emperor Frieza… and little did he knew… that his mother was planning to keep her sons alive by sacrificing her own life.

He was sealed away in a pod and sent to the vacuum of space to travel through the stars. Meanwhile, his father faced Frieza, and though he tried, he failed as the emperor sent a devastating attack that destroyed Bardock along with Planet Vegeta. The mother, Gine, attacked Frieza in fury, only to be killed as well.

As Kakarot's race was wiped out to near extinction, he was sent to a peaceful blue planet known as Planet Earth, populated by billions of people.

It was that day… his entire life took a huge turn.

He was discovered and taken to the home of an elderly man named Gohan, who was taught the skills of martial arts. Kakarot, given the Earth name "Son Goku" was already assumed to be alien… and he certainly was. The tiny warrior was strong and violent, wanting nothing to do with the Human. If the elder had no skills of fighting, he would had been killed. It was a struggle that lasted for months… until one day, Kakarot fell into a deep ravine and struck his head. His paths had been changed. He was no longer violent, but a happy and loving boy. It seemed his violent nature was knocked out if him, leaving him with just his gentle and cheerful personality.

The old man taught his adoptive grandson the ways of martial arts, and the young baby grew into a healthy and loving boy whose heart was filled with joy and curiosity about the world around him. His grandfather had told him where he came from - deep within the forest… abandoned among the leaves. The boy was told to be special… tough as steel. The elder never told a lie as he warned the young boy to never glance at the full moon…

… but he did… and that night was the last night the Human ever lived through. The gorilla beast had attacked, and Goku… was devastated. Since then, he lived alone in the wild with only the animals to keep him company… and to fill his stomach.

Years later, he met a young teenage girl named "Bulma" and the two set out for adventure to gather Dragon Balls… seven mystical orbs - when reunited - can grant any single wish within its power. Upon his travels, the young Saiyan warrior met and fought several fearsome foes; Oolong the Terrible, Yamcha the Desert Bandit, the Ox-King of Fire Mountain, Tien Shinhan, The Demon King Piccolo, and his reincarnation - Piccolo Jr. As he fought his harsh battles, he grew in power and in size, tapping into more of his power and potential each and every time. By the time he reached the age of 18, he was the strongest man in the world. His past enemies - all except Piccolo - became his friends.

He met the teenaged ChiChi who was his childhood sweetheart. Though he was naive towards the meaning behind a bride, he kept his promise to take her hand in marriage.

He fought Piccolo Jr in a tournament, and though the two were evenly matched, it was Goku who won. A couple years later, he becomes married to ChiChi, and the two had a quiet life.

However, at age 24, with his 4 - year - old son… his entire life took a turmoil.

He meets a man from outer space… an alien who possessed a tail just as he did. The shocking truth was revealed… by 7 years, the stranger was Goku's big brother. The young Saiyan couldn't believe it, and he turned down the offer to join him along with what remained of his kind. When his son was taken, he chased after the man, and came across a harsh conclusion. It was his mission… to annihilate all life on Earth.

It was a mission he had forgotten due to his head injury. He had no idea that he wasn't a Human due to the head incident causing amnesia. He was unable to recall anything of his origins before he fell on his head.

His brother was revealed to be Raditz. Kakarot - known as Goku on Earth - was stuck on what to do. He was terrified of who to listen to. Almost instinctively, he attacked Piccolo through his frustration and confusion. The only reason he could think of was how he was kept in the dark. What really irked him, was how his entire life was a lie. He learned… that he was never truly a Human or part of Planet Earth. Due to his memory loss as a baby, he was never able to complete what he was destined to do. He saw no point of being among the earthlings who he begins to think are nothing more than a bunch of greedy and selfish beings. Slowly he reclaimed his name as Kakarot, and he turned against mankind. He reclaimed the power that had been sealed away, and used it to destroy humanity.

The Z-fighters fought against the Saiyans, but they all fell one by one. Yamcha; killed by Vegeta. Chiaotzu; killed by sacrifice. Tien Shinhan; killed by putting in all effort in his strongest attack which sapped away his life. Even Krillin; killed by the Saiyan who was his best friend since childhood.

Kakarot, however, he failed to catch Bulma… who had took off into space.

As for ChiChi, her location was known.

Soon, for the first time for years, he was sent outer space with his new Saiyan comrades to travel to Planet Namek. Upon arriving, the intention was to gather the Namekian balls to grant the Saiyan Prince Vegeta immortality, but even before they arrived, they knew they weren't alone. The evil emperor - Lord Frieza - was seeking the same goal. However, there was one problem. The two Saiyan brothers - Kakarot and Raditz - were not seeing eye-to-eye. A clash occurred, and as they fought, when one dreadful event struck, Kakarot displayed his harsh fighting style which brought Raditz… to his knees.

When the Saiyans learned the truth of how the ruler was behind the genocide of their kind, they promised to rebell. It was when the brothers realized, they were more alike that they thought. They sorted out their differences, and they pledged to avenge the honorable deaths of their parents. Frieza's men were killed off, forcing the tyrant to resort to sending to Ginyu Force.

It was that battle that caused a huge turn of events. When one's life was in near death, Kakarot displayed his true colors of the fierce and feral wrath of a Saiyan warrior. Through his unconscious rage, he effortlessly killed one of the most feared members of the Ginyu Force. Not only did his comrades learn that he had potential, they learned that he may had been tamed, and his Saiyan instinct took toll over him.

Not long after, Vegeta and the general Nappa came across a pod that held another Saiyan Prince who was named Tarble… the younger brother of Vegeta… who was labeled as a "lame fighter". The young warrior proved to be unique with his kindness and his timid behavior, which his brother strongly disliked.

When Captain Ginyu attacked and swapped the body of Raditz, it was a test of loyalty for Kakarot, who proved his trustworthiness by pointing out the true Raditz, and switching the bodies back. However, after the battle was done by Tarble, peace was short when Kakarot was ambushed. Through his fury, Raditz attacked and finished Ginyu, and ran into Frieza who effortlessly brought him down.

The fight against Frieza was impossible to them. All attacks had failed, even when Kakarot had arrived fully healed. All attacks were futile, even with the combined force of the unexpected Piccolo who had been accidently wished to arrive on Namek by Bulma.

Surviving the battle was not a guarantee. Frieza claimed the life of Tarble, and even though the attempt of vengeance, he wounded Vegeta, and Kakarot was trapped towards Death's door… but the shocking sacrifice of Raditz saved Kakarot's life in exchange of his own.

Through anger, grief, and the first time experiencing feeling of hatred, Kakarot finally summons the power that had been present since he had fought the Ginyu Force… a Super Saiyan. Through his rage, he defeated Frieza and avenged the Saiyan race.

However, it seemed that it wasn't over just yet, Bulma had arrived back on Earth, and through her horrifying experiences, she had finally snapped. When the Saiyans arrived on Earth, it turned out that the Namekian Dragon Balls were brought to Earth. A Namekian Kid named "Dende" was brought to the mercy of Kakarot, and just to be even, he brought back the lives of the two fallen Saiyan warriors and fled. Through investigation, it was realized that the Humans had been plotting to kill them off.

Kakarot faced another issue. It was when they sent his own Human wife - ChiChi - after him to kill him. Though both sides…. The Humans and the Saiyans… wants the other dead, the Saiyan warrior and the Human fighter couldn't bring themselves to kill one another, even if they were told to. The results of this is Kakarot in danger of being sent to possibly being killed. As for ChiChi, The Red Ribbon Army begun to hunt for her, and they struck her down, but she was saved by Kakarot.

The warrior tried to convince the Saiyan prince to let her be, but he was told to stand down and allow Nappa to kill her. Kakarot knew himself that Humans were supposed to be dead, but when her life was in danger by his own kind, he was stuck on what to do, but he acted by attacking the general. Due to this, he is talked about in a debate of whether or not he should be kept or be killed… as warned by Raditz.

Then, finally, an old enemy of Kakarot appeared, the Hitman… Mercenary Tao. He had brought the Saiyans down by taking Zhanshitao - a compainion of Raditz - and milking its venom to use against them. Weakened, Kakarot was forced to resort to basic martial arts along with ChiChi, but he failed to do one thing.

He failed to protect her.

She was killed, and not only did it wound his pride, it harmed him mentally knowing that he was far too reckless to protect her. She along with his grandfather were the only Humans he actually respects.

This confirmed the theory that Vegeta had guessed. Due to Kakarot being raised by Humans, finally hanging with his own kind had several drawbacks. The Saiyan was never taught how to control his battling instinct. He was a tamed Saiyan… a happy-go-lucky warrior tamed by Humans. Because of the death of his wife, Kakarot completely went berserk, fighting without rationality. He brutally fought the cyborg and killed him in cold blood. It was the most his comrades had seen of his Saiyan nature.

However, it wasn't just Kakarot struggling to find out how to deal with himself, Bulma too… had something wrong with her.

Everyone knew that Bulma was no longer herself when she joined forces with the rebuilt Red Ribbon Army and summoned King Cold - the father of Frieza - to Earth.

Everyone had fought, but the situation turned bleak when the enemy had Kakarot on his knees by a tail. When Raditz was struck down and teased, the last straw was pulled, and Raditz finally ascended. With his newfound powers, he and his brother attacked once more, and when thing didn't go as planned, it became a little awkward but then intense. With their combined power… they defeated Cold, and the Saiyan race had been completely avenged.

However… the peace can only last.

Kakarot had learned how the Humans had been plotting how to create the technology to kill them once and for all. It was possible that they had the potential since Kakarot found it a bit difficult to deal with them. However, due to the fact that he had mainly wiped out almost all of humanity, he is the most feared out of all of the Saiyans. With the fact that he was raised as a Human, he knew exactly how to deal with them, which made him a major threat. He took down each cyborg one by one… and he earned the international nickname of "The Monkey King" due to his tail and the ability to transform into a gigantic gorilla-like beast… even though his comrades are the same… and Vegeta along with Tarble are the ones with royal blood.

That was only the beginning.

It was seen that two separate forces on Earth were working together. The Red Ribbon Army and The Resistance Army. The two organizations hope for nothing more than to remove the Saiyan threat from the planet, but their main target was Son Goku. He was the most dangerous for knowing just what a Human can do.

In other world, an elder made a request to return to Earth in hopes to convince Goku to stop his actions. If the plan backfires, he has a fail-safe system intact.

Meanwhile, 3 years in the future, a mysterious teenager had escaped from a more mysterious duo of threats. The teen had arrived in present time for an unknown purpose.

Kakarot eventually found himself in a bad position. The trail his brother Raditz had warned him about was taking place! When votes were even, if it all to be decided by the defendant himself! Kakarot was forced to fight off his comrades in basic combat, and by using his trickery, he made his way through. It was down to him against Vegeta who he had pinned down by using his trusty Power Pole.

After the fight, Kakarot was in shock when his grandfather arrived! After failing to convince Kakarot to stop his ways, he placed a crown on his head. The Golden Crown of Restraint. When one counts in Mandarin, it inflicts unbearable pain starting from the head and spreading all over the body. It makes Kakarot realize just how much he is feared. He confronts Kami about the situation, only to discover that Korin was alive. Kakarot was sent back to Mount Pazou and was unable to escape due to a barrier being linked to his crown. He was imprisoned in the wilderness he grew up in.

Later, the mysterious teen from the future arrived to the Saiyans. He had managed to gain a bit of Kakarot's trust to speak to him personally. After a test that came out of the blue, he revealed himself as Trunks who arrived 20 years from the future. Oddly enough, he had to be a Saiyan since he was able to transform into a Super Saiyan. Kakarot learned shocking news; the teen was the future son of Raditz and Bulma!

The teen explained to Kakarot about a duo of powerful artificial Humans known as Androids who will arrive 3 years later and cause havoc on the planet. They had the potential to kill all the Saiyans after Kakarot was killed by a heart virus. The sickness counted as a natural death, so reviving Kakarot was impossible. Kakarot made his promise to warn the others. After the teen left, Kakarot immediately informed his comrades, and training started.

Kakarot tries to investigate things on his own when he meet a trio of demons and a tribe of monkeys. After killing the demon king, Kakarot found himself automatically taking his place as King of Mount Pazou… a position that was a bit much for the warrior. He was already known as "The Monkey King" internationally… another thing Kakarot was ignorant towards until he discovered days before. He had made a friend who was a member of a monkey troop. His name was Youzi.

It doesn't take long as Karot was ambushed by the military. That was when the Saiyans realized they had another problem on their hands. It seems far too many Humans had survived the attacks. The once peaceful race became hostile. The leader of the attacks was Chille Serif, a man from the western regions who wanted nothing more than to see the Saiyans dead.

As the Saiyans moved on with their plans, Raditz seemed to be watching over Kakarot more often. Nappa explained the reason behind it was because Raditz had once failed to protect his brother. The meaning behind it was confusing towards Kakarot.

A ship crashed, and Kakarot discovered it. He was shocked to see another Saiyan who looked very much like him. Unfortunately for the Saiyan, he had lost an arm that cannot be found to reattach. Kakarot immediately brought him back for medical attention. However, Raditz recognized him immediately as Turles… a brother that came before Kakarot! Though the news shocked him, he was eager to meet Turles as soon as he regains consciousness.

Tarble cleverly created an prosthetic arm made of an element of metal to replace the one Turles loss.

Turles regained consciousness and met his adult brother Raditz. Though Raditz tried to keep Kakarot out of sight, Kakarot's eagerness kept him on his feet. He met Turles at last who… disliked him very much and even called him a disgrace. It looked very much like his things were when Kakarot and Raditz were not getting along during their time on Namek.

Kakarot's constant mistakes led to him being in high risk of punishment. It was revealed by Raditz that Vegeta would exile Kakarot - something he told Kakarot through a code only they know. Later on, it came true. Kakarot tried his best to convince Vegeta to reconsider, but he was kicked out. Returning means death. Kakarot was then an outcast and a fugitive

Kakarot found a cave to stay during his time alone with the monkeys, monsters, and demons that inhabited the area. However, the military arrived in the area, and Kakarot was attacked in a way he didn't expect. He was out to sleep and taken in as their prisoner. When he awoke, he found himself in chains and trapped inside a cage. He was fed with a dog bowl filled with nuts and old rice. His water was constantly dirty from collecting dust. They tried to get answers, and they hated him much. Nomlas, and friend of Chille, was brought in. He whipped the warrior for answers, but mostly, he whipped him for no reason other than entertainment.

The whippings and tortures carried out for years until Turles ambushed the base to set Kakarot up. Kakarot was punished by being thrown in solitary confinement where any contact with life wasn't seen. The only company he had was Youzi who was a winged monkey demon. Chille killed him by having a pair of tigers eat him before Kakarot's eyes until he was bloody bones.

Six months had passed since then. The hatred on the warrior's wrath became a strong feeling a loathe and rage waiting to be unleashed. When he finally broke free, the killings skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, Ice, one of the soldiers, was discovered to be a Saiyan! The woman had no idea. She witnessed her father being gunned down, and she managed to hold some soldiers back by her rage. However, when she was cornered, Kakarot arrives and saves her.

Kakarot bared his fangs and reverts to his primal form which finished the job of killing the soldiers. He had unknowingly consumed something that wasn't really food. He ran into Bulma who pleaded for him to stop. She nearly brought back his senses when she reminded him of all the great memories had made with her and her friends since childhood. However, it was too much. The Saiyan snapped.

The Saiyan stole her son and gunned her down after she realized just how wild and wicked the Saiyan had become.

Bulma was killed by being shot down by the same Saiyan she shot when they first met.

Kakarot ran into Chille, Fillet, Skrimp, and Alphredo. He explained his reasons for killing the woman who was once a close friend. He laughed when Fillet was poisoned. He scared away the others. The warrior was truly heartless, something that was once never thought possible to see in the warrior.

Later, he returns to his comrades looking nothing as he did when he was exiled. He seemed more merciless. He was filled with bloodlust and the need to kill those he despises. Vegeta eventually accepted him back even as Turles tried to keep him away. He even convinced the Saiyans to keep Ice… whose real name is "Kauli" to stay.

When Turles crosses Kakarot's line, Kakarot proves to Turles to never judge a book by their cover. He easily knocks him down, making the brother realize just how strong Kakarot truly is. That alone isn't the only problem. Kakarot isn't trusting no one. When he doubts everyone and believes they were using him, he accuses Raditz being a fake to him. Raditz took him down and taught him the truth which opened Kakarot's eyes. Raditz actually cared… even if he pounded him to the ground.

Later, the Saiyan decided to make sure the Humans don't go too far. Vegeta puts him to the test, knowing the Saiyan hasn't eaten for too long. He asks Kakarot to find the planet's king. With no energy to distinguish and no other way, Kakarot was left to ironically… track him down like a dog. Kakarot pays a visit to the King of Earth… King Furry. He easily steals his throne. When Vegeta announces dinner to see how much mercy and humanity Kakarot has left, it seems very little remains when the warrior turned the canine into an appetizer despite knowing him quite well. Kakarot took his place as the Earth's king. The feeling of power was finally filling his head.

An old friend of Goku arrives…. Eighter! The friendly Android wanted nothing more than to help the Saiyan, but Kakarot won't comply. In fact, he killed him not long after. When another old friend, Upa, arrived, Kakarot tried to spare him as he tried with Eighter. He was left with no choice but to kill him as well. However, it seemed he rather enjoyed it. This brought concern to the others.

Later, he was assigned to capture Alphredo with his brothers close behind. Kakarot easily lost them both, and he was chased after. He lost them again and eventually did capture Alphredo.

Meanwhile, Tarble, Nappa, and Karot were ambushed by another soldier, Dumpli. She was thought to be timid, but she reveals her true side as merciless and ruthless. A true sociopath. Kakarot confronted her, and the meeting was only brief. He killed her with a gun to a mouth which was witnessed by his son. Kakarot was grinning ear to ear, unaware that he had done something unbelievable. His son was unable to speak since.

Kakarot became a bigger problem that was harder to stop by his comrades. It's not that alone. The Saiyans discover Baby Trunks! The puzzles were put together. They discovered that Raditz is the father. Vegeta begins to punish Raditz, but he punished Kakarot much worse. He prepares to kill him, but Raditz as steps forward to shield him. For the very first time, Raditz disobeyed a direct order to protect his brother. Vegeta allowed them free at the moment, realizing just how determined the brothers are. He allows the baby to live. At first, Raditz wanted nothing to do with the baby, but eventually, he tolerated him.

In otherworld, ChiChi was discussing with Gine about the concerns with Kakarot. The mother pleads ChiChi to find the Saiyan before he completely loses his way.

Kakarot heads out on his own to confront Chille after losing his comrades when they chased him. The soldier impales Kakarot by his own staff, and the warrior was left to bleed to death. He was discovered and brought it to recover. When he woke, he had mistaken Vegeta as Chille and attacked. After he was stopped, they saw him as a threat. Kakarot was surprised at first, but he laughed it off. He explained none of them could stop him. He was indeed becoming delusional. When he went off to deal with more soldiers, he ran into his grandfather again! Chille soon arrives in the scene which interrupts the small reunion. The soldier attacked Grandfather Gohan, destroying his soul. No longer does the elder even exist!

That alone didn't shatter Kakarot.

Chille reveals to Kakarot who the true culprit behind the death of ChiChi was… Kakarot himself! Chille had manipulated the warrior's mind into thinking ChiChi was The Mercenary Tao who the Saiyan killed! Shocked and broken, Kakarot's emotions finally explode. He screams at the sky in grief and rage. He blindly attack Chille. His rage became more free with each second until he was nothing more than an angry beast without a mind.

Chille left, and the Saiyan attacked his own comrades. Blinded by rage, the Saiyan was unable to tell friend and foe. Future Trunks arrives and brings the Saiyan down by using the crown. After Kakarot regained consciousness, Kakarot finally gives in to his grief. A good cry was something that was long needed. Even after that, Kakarot didn't want to be involved. He stayed behind as the others went on. He was afraid of losing himself again.

It doesn't take long for them to finally meet the Androids. When Raditz confronts 19 and 20, it was revealed that 20 is… or was… Dr. Gero! When Raditz tries to fight, he was brought to his knees by the very heart virus that Kakarot was thought to soon have!

Annoyed, Vegeta orders Turles to take Raditz to care. The prince steps in and reveals himself as a Super Saiyan. He single-handily took down 20 and caused Gero to flee. Meanwhile, ChiChi had returned from the afterlife. She confronts Skrimp for answers. When he told her the truth of the mission, the woman took him down without second thought.

Kakarot goes on his own investigation. He reveals a new ability. He shapeshifted into Skrimp to pull answers from Alphredo. When his cover was blown, Alphredo learns of her brother's death. She was heartbroken, but Kakarot didn't care. He left with their information, and he flew until he ran into ChiChi.

Kakarot was in disbelief, not wanting to be around her after learning that he had unknowingly killed her. He was unable to leave at the same time. The reunion was interrupted when Alphredo arrived. She didn't come to kill them. She killed herself instead. Kakarot decided he needed to protect ChiChi in all costs.

Not long after, they meet 17 and 18, the pair of Androids that were feared by Future Trunks. Vegeta and Future Trunks were easily taken down. Meanwhile, Kakarot has gathered all the Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron. He had his wish granted to learn more about the crown stuck to his head, and the fighting staff he had possessed since childhood. Upon returning, he was asked by Tarble to save Vegeta. Kakarot wanted nothing of it, saying Vegeta got what he deserved. Angered, Tarble ordered the warrior to do what was told.

Kakarot obeys, recognizing a sense of power. He disguised himself as Raditz to distract the Androids. It didn't last long as his starvation stops the disguise and caused him to collapse. The Androids decided to let him be and kill him another time. As soon as they were gone, he was woken and fed. He was ordered to kill Chille who was after ChiChi.

Kakarot arrived soon and fought Chille alone and head on in time. He regained his fighting spirit, and he defeated the man at last. The Saiyans left Kakarot alone with ChiChi to sort things out. The woman accepted what took place.

After discussing, Kakarot and ChiChi grew very close once more. Trying to be around her before he has to fight, Kakarot decides to stay until morning. His reunion with her was a sweet moment they both shared. As the night went by, ChiChi was ambushed and Kakarot came in to defend her. Both martial artist fight off the threat and find that they have improved. Kakarot explains to her how important it was for her to stay nearby in case anyone tried to take her life again. He seemed rather protective. The reality was… he was afraid of losing her again. Due to his Saiyan nature, he doesn't bother showing exactly how he may feel. After surprising her with a small act, they spar again to test each other's power.

Kakarot grew excited by how strong she was. After she had won by knocking him outside the ring she had made, she requested him to return to his comrades knowing he has night watch which was an important job. Kakarot found himself not wanting to leave. ChiChi asked him to not hold back his emotions as he had done before which caused his outrage. Kakarot finally lets go, resulting him to surprising ChiChi by showing just how he feels towards her. The two shared a quiet night together.

Upon returning, Raditz had fully recovered from his illness and was ready to take on the Androids. He was assigned along with Turles and Kakarot to head for The Red Ribbon Army headquarters. It led them to Snow Mountain where they had a bit of childish fun.

Karot took things into his own hand, only to find himself ambushed by a different trio of Androids.

ChiChi was discovered to be taking part of the investigation as well. As they revealed incredible facts, they decided to split. Kakarot trusted ChiChi to activate the crown if he ever goes out of hand. Kakarot became greatly concerned when ChiChi fell horribly ill. They are attacked by soldiers and Kakarot was locked away only to see a trio of new Androids; 13, 14, and 15. They met the kid brother of Alphredo and Skrimp. His name was Pastah, and it turns out he was just as horrible as they were! He reveals a reason behind ChiChi's sickness!

It turns out that the reason behind Kakarot's disappearance the one night was indeed because he was with ChiChi. It seems she… was pregnant!

When things went out of hand, and Karot's life was in danger, ChiChi allowed Kakarot to kill them all.

Raditz and Nappa arrived in time to see what occurred. 13 was the only one to had survived, and he absorbed the parts from the other Androids and became Super Android 13. Kakarot was sent away to protect his family. Raditz and Nappa were left to fight.

Kakarot seeked out help, only to lose the baby who wandered to where Raditz is. 13 attacked the baby, enraging Raditz who transformed into a Giant Ape.

Kakarot fell in the snow and awoke in Jingle Village. He saw an old friend… Suno! She had treated him and her son and warmed up ChiChi. Immediately, Kakarot gave ChiChi medicine to help her for a while. Unfortunately at the end, Suno discovered how Kakarot was the one who killed her friends. The Saiyan killed her before she could even attack him.

ChiChi was angered by this, and she punished the Saiyan with the crown.

Afterwards, Kakarot returns to the cave. He gets a visit from old friends who discuss something a bit unexpected.

Meanwhile, Raditz was brought down by 13. Zhanshitao became enraged and revealed his true form. He bravely fought 13 with Nappa's help, and he killed him. However, the rampage didn't end, and Raditz had to calm him down before destruction spreaded.

Meanwhile, Kakarot fought a bit of annoyance and ran into Piccolo. It seemed a small truce was formed. Tarble met Cell, and it seemed the two were evenly matched. Cell revealed that he has a sample of DNA from the Saiyan and this they fought! This creature is indeed a huge problem! He leaves, and Tarble is somewhat shaken.

Upon returning, Turles reported what took place and met with Raditz. Their discussion was short lived when they and Kakarot witnessed Zhanshitao leave the Earth for their safety.

They return to the ship only to meet with Bora who confronted them. Ignoring ChiChi's warnings, he spoke to Kakarot and said the wrong thing. The warrior attacked and slowly killed him and enjoyed every second. He reveals a side of him he kept suppressed since he broke free from the military's imprisonment.

It made all those realize he is indeed a sadist.

Afterwards, ChiChi stumbled into a bad place. Her sickness returned!

When she collapsed, Vegeta refuses to help her. Kakarot snapped and attacked!

He was far too dangerous.

Angered. Tarble locks Kakarot away in order for him to learn.

However, little do they know the real reason behind Kakarot's behavior. It's certainly bound to him.

With the deal against Cell… things can't possibly get worse.

Or… can they?

- ? -

Boots clack across a stone floor. A white cape sways side to side with every step. He enters a crumbling building.

Things seem to running smoothly. He ignores the occasional sound of whips cracking in the air and people barking orders. He knows people are hard at work. Transforming a rubbish place to an illusional paradise required a load of effort.

He enters a hallway, and several guards salute at his presence. "How much time until we are set to leave?"

"Give us another week, sir!" A alien soldier salutes as the man passes by.

"Another week. It seems so long, but very close. I'll enjoy it when I drag Vegeta here." The man enters a room, and he seems a bit concerned. "Though it worries me. It seems my son isn't taking things at ease as usual. His outbursts are getting worse. To think the Saiyan he hates so much is related to the same brats who always pulled my tail."

He pauses when he hears distant growling. He lightly pushes open a door.

"I'm afraid when they all cross paths, it'll be difficult to control him."

Inside the room, the voice speaks in a growl; "Kaka… K… Kakarot…"

A shadow of a person rises from sitting on the ground. They snarl as golden energy engulfs them. They scream out in pure rage;

"K… KAAAKAAAROOOOOT!"

- ? -

ChiChi watches the muzzled Saiyan lying on the ground with his legs tucked close to his body. The tail is curled against it. She watches his chest expand and relax. She had been watching him sleep for almost two hours. She doesn't know why, but she can't being herself to leave. The only company she has with her is her son who is sitting on her lap, asleep. He may be too old for it, but he fell asleep on his own.

She hears approaching footsteps, but she doesn't turn around.

"You should be resting. You're still sick." The voice of Tarble tells her that the prince is concerned for her. It's not surprising. After her collapse hours ago, Tarble and Raditz stayed around in case it happens again.

"I don't need you watching over me." ChiChi sounds a bit rude here. She doesn't like to he watched so much. It feels… creepy. She's no child. She has one of her own, and another on the way.

"I'm asking you to lay back down-"

"Humans aren't as fragile as you think." ChiChi interrupts. "I'm fine."

A sigh is heard behind her.

ChiChi keeps studying the sleeping Kakarot. Her eyebrows come close together as her expression shows her confusion and worry. It's clear by her words.

"I… don't understand."

"I don't expect you to." Tarble walks to her side. His eyes are fixed on the caged Saiyan. "It's not because you are a Human. Though, your species is ignorant towards several things. Of course, not every Human is that way. Your concern is not from being a Human. That concern comes from being a wife… a mother. It's something I will never understand."

ChiChi nods. "You may be right."

"I never wanted to do this." Tarble shakes his head. "I may be blind, but I can sense something was going wrong with him… and it may not be his fault. When one is abused and tortured so long, they absorb that and show that pain to others. His brain is like that of a child's. If a child is raised in an abusive and rude life, they act that way because that is all they know. What about Kakarot… or, Goku in your case?"

Beeping is heard in the background. Nappa is pressing on the touchscreen of the control table, looking at information.

ChiChi answers quietly. "From when he came to this planet as a baby to when he he was 12… his entire life was living here in Mount Pazou. He lived in the wild… especially after he was 6 years old. Life was easy for him too. That's probably why he's so carefree… because he grew up in that lifestyle. He laughs at danger."

"Well… what you say is very true. I never met a Saiyan who is as wild as he is. Happy-go-lucky… but it seems whatever the military did is causing his violent nature to resurface. What we are seeing is how he could be if he never hit his head. Not the sadistic side. I mean how anger can change him."

"I see."

Turles had been around for a while. He glances at their direction occasionally to listen in to their conversation. "Brother."

"I know." Raditz leans against a wall at the opposite side. A stick of a lollipop sticks out of his mouth.

Tarble places a hand on ChiChi's shoulder. "I can only hope things will work out. Kakarot is truly kind. I'm investigating what the exact cause of this is… tracing it back to its roots."

Nappa looks from the screens to the prince.

ChiChi finally looks at Tarble, who is still looking ahead. "How are you doing that?"

"Kauli is… she's a computer genius. She can easily read any file… even ones the military tries to block out." Tarble explains. "She's not as good as your son. Karot - I mean… Gohan, is nearly into the skills of hacking. Your son is very intelligent. I was told this was your doing."

ChiChi looks at her sleeping son. "I kept him studying every day. His education is extremely important. If only I can keep him from fighting."

"He's reaching the age when he can make his own decisions, ChiChi." Tarble tells her this to point something out. "When the times comes… he can choose his own path. Fighter or scholar. I'll tell you this; he doesn't like to fight. He's only half-Saiyan. Humans aren't born warriors like we Saiyans are. Due to his Human half, his fighting instincts only show when his life is on the line. He only fights when he feels he needs to."

"Like now. I don't want him to fight… I don't want him ending up like his father." ChiChi seems to be on the verge of tears. "I'm afraid of… Goku never being who I once knew."

Raditz sighs. "Humans are so emotional."

Turles huffs. "Don't blame her. She never saw him like this. I do agree with you. Humans are awfully fragile physically and mentally. Makes me wonder how their population got so high."

"They aren't warriors. Saiyans killed each other every day."

"So do Humans."

"Civil wars, Turles."

Nappa growls. He's getting annoyed with their small debate.

"Same happens here." Tarble interrupts them both. "Our species and theirs are very much alike. The only difference is, we traveled and fight so much, our like hardly had time to stop and reproduce."

"Oh. Right." Raditz scratches his head. "Sitting still is like dying. I can't see how the hell a Human to stay at one place for over an hour."

ChiChi blinks. "That explains why Goku hardly likes staying at home."

Turles decides that he had enough of being in the sidelines. He walks to the two. "How is he?" He had to ask since no one else bothered. He needs an update.

Nappa shakes his head. "Don't know. It's hard to figure out what he could be thinking. I'm glad we restrained him. He lashes out in his sleep."

"He was speaking to me. Mind your manners." Tarble frowns towards the general who stays quiet now. The prince turns to Turles' direction. "I can't exactly say what it is, but I believe there is something else that may be behind this."

"Something else?" Nappa echoes.

Knocking is heard. Someone is knocking on the wall. When they all turn and see, a dark-skinned female is leaning against the doorframe.

She sticks a thumb over a shoulder. "Hey. Vegeta wants us to check something out. There's a bit of commotion that's irritating him."

Karot stirs and his eyes blink open. He sits up. "Huh?!"

ChiChi pulls him close to her. "Gohan! You're finally awake! Had a good rest, sweetie?"

Karot looks around until he finds Kauli at the doorway. "She said… something about commotion?"

"Let the grown-ups handle this one. You stay here with Mommy." ChiChi instructs him. She is a bit surprised when the child tries to leave. "You can't go off like this!"

"I have to go with Mr. Nappa!"

ChiChi frowns. "Absolutely not, young man! You're going to stay here!"

"Mom, I'm not 4 anymore!" Karot jumps off and walks away. He stops at the doorway and waves. "I promise I'll study after this! Okay? I really have to go!" The child rushes out.

Nappa follows the kid outside. "He's talking again. Not as much as I would hope."

ChiChi sighs. "My child is becoming a delinquent."

Tarble chuckles. "Remember what I said. Let him go now and then. Sometimes, the best way to learn is through experience. I'll be back soon." He stops at the doorway. "Wait. Is the baby alright?"

"He is watching himself." Turles shrugs. "To say it simply; Future Trunks is watching Present Trunks. He'll be fine."

"Alright. Let's go." The prince takes his leave with Turles. Raditz stays behind.

"Urgh." ChiChi covers her face. "I wish they never taught my son how to fight."

Raditz just sighs. "I don't get Humans."

Meanwhile, outside, the others fly through the air until they see the city that's been reduced to rubble years ago. They land on the ravaged road. Plants had invaded the streets and the buildings all around.

Vegeta is sitting on an abandoned car, waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they walk towards him, he jumps off the vehicle and walks to them. "Anything new with Kakarot?"

"Not that I know of." Tarble answers. "May I ask why we were brought here? Commotion, right?"

"Not exactly. I had to find a way to drag you out here since you're so busy. To put it simply, I lied."

Tarble growls.

"I found an abandoned library east from where I stand. Knowing you, it may be useful. The amount of books in there makes the information room look like a joke."

"So… you dragged us out here for a bunch of old books?" Kauli glances at Turles' direction. "Have him read them all, and he'll be a walking library."

Turles glares at her. "Does it look like I have the time to read a million books?!"

"Grab anything under the field of psychology. Perhaps the Humans know something we don't." Vegeta points at the building.

Kauli shrugs. "Let's get on with this."

As soon as they enter the library, they see the damages inside. Books had spilled on the floor. They are torn and molded. Many pages had been eaten away from decomposition. Others are shriveled up on the moldy ground.

"There goes half of the books." Kauli frowns at the ones she sees on the ground. "This would disappoint a bookworm."

"I think the books upstairs should be on better condition." Nappa suggests.

"I'll take a look through some." Turles heads up the stairs first. Karot is behind him, but not too close.

Kauli walks to a bookshelf. "Hopefully, some down here are still good to read. I swear. Books get the worse of things. Nobody really reads them anymore. Shame."

Vegeta crosses his arms. "This hopefully will give us a better idea on what is going on."

An hour later, all excluding Vegeta pile books on a countertop. Kauli slips a hand in her pocket, and she pulls out a capsule. "Alright." She presses the button, and she tosses it on top. Smoke engulfs the books. When it fades, only the capsule sits on the table. She picks it up. "Alright. We have everything we need inside this capsule. Here." She tosses it to Turles who growls.

"Easy carry." Karot notes.

Kauli nods. "Now, we can just-"

A flash of orange jumps from behind a pile of books. A loud yowl is heard.

"The hell?!" Kauli staggers back, and a orange cat rushes under her legs and flees through the building's exit. "Stupid cat!"

"A feline. I haven't seen one in a while." Vegeta watches the cat jump over the bushes.

A loud sneeze catches everyone's attention.

All heads turn to Kauli when she sneezes again.

"Dust in your nose?" Nappa asks.

"No!" Kauli fails to hold back another sneeze. "I'm allergic to… to ca-ACHOO!"

"Cats make her sneeze? That's interesting." Turles laughs. "Pathetic, actually."

"Shut up, Goku-wannabe!" Kauli growls at him. Her angry look fades away when she sneezes again. "This is not going to stop for a good minute! Argh!"

After a while, they arrive back outside. Nappa takes a good look at the buildings and roads around them. The structure he sees is different from what he is used to seeing in the planet. "This place is a bit strange. The roads are backwards here."

"This is the western region." Kauli explains. "I grew up here, but I don't know this city very well. I only came here now and then when I was small. I don't remember much of it."

"The building structure here differs too. The culture of Humans varies from region to region. Is this right?" Vegeta asks.

Kauli nods. "It feels like home over here."

Karot turns to his left. He takes notice of a gate. "Look. Does that look familiar?"

Everyone takes a look. The gate is built from black bars. A sign hangs from it with red capitals on it… as a warning.

"The words are written in English." Nappa takes notice. "Kauli. Can you translate this?"

"That's not even a question." Kauli walks past him and glances at the sign. "Beware of the dog."

"The what?"

As if on cue, a golden dog jumps up and its front paws slam on the gate like it attempted to take it down. The canine barks and snarls, baring its fangs. The only Saiyan it startles is Nappa who nearly lost his footing.

"Relax. It's wearing a muzzle. It won't hurt anyone." Kauli watches the dog snarl. The canine can't open its maw entirely due to the restrictions the muzzle had placed on it. "It's on a leash and behind a gate. It can't escape even if it tried."

Nappa nods nervously. "Right.*

Vegeta stares at the angry dog with an emotionless expression. "Muzzled and leashed inside a cage. Unable to do harm, but it still bears its fangs like the animal it is. Very much like Kakarot."

"What are we going to do with him?" Nappa asks him.

Vegeta replies quickly. "It's a choice between ourselves. He can die, or there's another option. At this point, that's something I'll have to think about. We'll have to discuss this as soon as possible."

"We'll put this in court." Tarble nods once. "What we can do will be determined there."

The dog continues to bark and snarl. The Saiyan general back away a bit more. "What's with that thing? It's very aggressive. All dogs are like that here?"

"No. This one in particular… not much." Kauli studies the animal. "Golden Retriever. That's the dog's species. This kind of dog is normally gentle. It must had become hostile because of what had been going on."

Turles takes a close look. "What's around its neck?"

"A collar. We put those around their necks to claim them as ours. It's another's possession."

Tarble's eyes widen.

"Adding leash makes it easy to control them once you reward them for doing what you want them to. A collar is a sign of possession. This dog belongs to someone. They muzzled it because it got too aggressive."

An image of Kakarot crosses his mind. "Oh, hell."

"He said the two words. Something's up." Nappa is alert with the others.

"I need to get back to the ship right away!" Tarble begins to walk in a fast rhythm. "Turles. Meet with Raditz and ask him for a report. Nappa, translate the scans into braille. Karot, I need you to gather books from the information room under the subject of supernatural. Let's make this quick!"

Kauli blinks. "Wait. When did you learn how to read braille?!"

"That's business that's not important for you to know right now!" Tarble answers.

Kauli can't argue with that. It does annoy her about the sort of answer she got. He could had said that in a nicer way.

Vegeta chuckles as the others are left confused. "That didn't take long. Looks like he figured it out." He looks at the others. "You heard him! Get on with it! That was an order!"

"Right!" The Saiyans immediately rush off to their destinations.

"You keep doing what you have been." Vegeta can't exactly find something for her to do. He walks for several seconds before jumping and flying away.

The dog keeps barking at her.

Kauli isn't fazed by this. As soon as Vegeta is high in the sky, she turns back to the gate to look at the angry canine. "Ah. I see. You're a female."

The dog snarls and barks some more.

Kauli steps forward and snarls back.

The dog drops from being against the gate. She backs away, whimpering with her tail between her legs.

Kauli nods once. "Looks like one of us is the bigger bitch."

- Later -

"All this… he has going on. His mental state is shit crazy." Raditz walks to Tarble who seems focused.

"Kakarot is too dangerous. With a mix like that, no wonder why he has so many loose screws." Vegeta frowns. "He cannot go alone at all."

"Check." Tarble announces.

"Check? Did we make a checklist?" Raditz asks.

"He's speaking chess." Vegeta walks to his brother who seems to be brushing his fingers over something. "Found something?"

"Take a look." Tarble points at the screen. His brother looks over his shoulder. "I knew something was off. Kakarot's energy is surrounded by something else."

Karot reads a book at a chair. He seems to have found something, because she rushes to Vegeta to hand the book to him.

The prince takes a look. "Things from the dead can be haunted. What does that have to do with anything?"

Tarble freezes. "Wait. Read some more."

Vegeta sighs. "It says how keeping these things cause a supernatural effect. Ghosts and other things."

Tarble frowns. "Ever since he returned here… he…" He appears to have puzzled everything together. He turns to where Kakarot is. "Checkmate."

"The case is solved." Vegeta looks at Kakarot. "Well?"

"What is around his neck is a spiritual necklace. The bones are actually that of a demon's. The mysterious energy is coming from that necklace."

ChiChi shoots up from sitting. She turns to them. "Right! I forgot to tell all of you. Gine asked me to destroy that thing that's around his neck! It had been manipulating him since he put it on!"

Vegeta is confused. "Gine?"

Raditz and Turles are surprised to hear the name, but Turles is angered. "How do you know that name?! Are you messing with us? There is no way in hell you could had met her!"

"She was in hell! You weren't sent there!" Raditz growls.

ChiChi can see how bad she angered them. She stuffs her hand in a pocket, and she pulls out a cloth. She opens it and pulls out a charm that makes both brothers freeze. "She instructed me to give this to you if you don't believe what I say."

Raditz rushes to her, and he snatches the charm from her hand. He sniffs it twice, and he nods. "Fine. Talk."

Nappa is lost. "Just like that, huh?"

ChiChi has the floor. She begins to explain. "His name is Youzi."

"Youzi?" Vegeta echoes the name.

"You remember that monkey that was sitting on Goku's shoulder?"

Vegeta nods. "Right."

"I knew him since I was married to Goku. He's actually a demon. He was captured not long after Goku was. He was killed by Chille's tigers. All that remained were his bones."

Tarble understands. "So, he took the bones and he now wears them around his neck."

"Ever heard of a vengeful spirit?" ChiChi asks. "A demon is dangerous when filled with nothing but hatred. Youzi grew so much hate against Humans after he died. He must be having Goku do all these insane things. That monkey wants nothing more than to see a Human dead."

"That's exactly what Kakarot wants." Turles realizes.

"Exactly. He's manipulating him. Recall that everytime we touch that necklace, Kakarot lashes out. That's not his doing. Those bones are very powerful." ChiChi narrows her eyes. "The brief second we touch it, Youzi has full control of his body. When Kakarot demands for us to not touch it, and he attacks, that's Youzi alone."

"What makes you say that?" Tarble asks.

"After the action, Goku would look so lost… like he woke up in an unfamiliar place." ChiChi answers. "All spirits that are evil need a host. Goku is Youzi's host. As long as those bones are around his neck, he has power to do what he wants if he ever has full control of him."

"Then, we have to get rid of that thing as soon as possible." Tarble says firmly. "What she just said… Humans wrote books about this. It's very true. That demon is slowly pulling him into darkness. Remember how he killed Bora. We saw a glimpse of what would happen if that demon completely controlled him."

"More like possess." ChiChi growls. "Yozui was very kind alive. Spirits can become twisted when not passed to the afterlife. He didn't make it there. He's stuck, and he's getting worse."

Raditz's eyes widen. "So… when Kakarot put that gun to his head, he was talking to the demon! It makes sense now!"

-OoOoOoOo-

Future Trunks hands Raditz a small container. "This is the healing substance I was given. I have a full case of them, so you're free to use this."

Raditz takes it he lowers to the ground and is on his knees. As soon as Future Trunks lands near him, he speaks again. "So, your world has them to, though Tarble came up with it. My guess is that the earthlings mimicked this and succeeded." He unscrews it and pours the drink in his brother's mouth. He watches him swallow, and he hands the empty container back. "Wake up, Kakarot."

Kakarot's eyes slowly open. The entire world is a blur for several seconds. The first thing he sees is his brother's face. "Big brother…?"

Everyone sighs in relief. His eyes are normal once again.

Raditz releases him, and Kakarot is a bit unstable, but he manages to stay on his knees. "You have lost your mind. Do you even remembered what happened?"

Kakarot doesn't answer. He simply stares at the ground and notices the weapons that the military had dropped. Chille abandoned a few of his.

"Why did you stop?!" Youzi's voice is enraged. "You had them! Kill them now!"

Kakarot just wants to be left alone.

"Wasn't that your mission since you were sent here?! Wake up and destroy, Kakarot!"

Kakarot snatches the energy handgun from the ground, and he points it at the temple of his head. "You won't hurt anyone else if you have no host to posses!"

Everyone's jaws drop.

"KAKAROT! DON'T DO IT!" Raditz steps forward. He stops. If he gets to close, he may actually push his brother to pull the trigger.

Kakarot looks at him with guilt filling his face. He shakes his head, warning him to stay back.

Kauli shields Karot from seeing anything.

"Wh-what are you doing?! You can't possibly be thinking about killing yourself! That weapon can kill you in this range! Reconsider! A warrior should die in battle, not like this!"

"Leave me alone!" Kakarot snaps as his finger rests on the trigger. "I'll kill you by taking myself out! I nearly killed those I care about! I have to protect them, and the only way is killing myself!"

"Idiot! What is wrong with you?! What about your son?!"

"You told me to kill him! That's why… I have to die!" Kakarot begins to press the trigger. "I WON'T LET YOU KILL THEM!"

-OoOoOoOo-

"Hey." Nappa points at the cell Kakarot is trapped in. "Look."

They all look. Kakarot is awake, and he's staring dead at them with burning eyes. With the muzzle on, he can't speak.

ChiChi shakes her head. "Take the muzzle off. Something tells me Goku isn't conscious right now."

"Kakarot would had used telepathy if he wanted to speak." Raditz looks at Nappa.

The general understands. He walks to the cage. He presses a button, and the bars open. He crouches down in front of him, and he unbuckles the mask, removing it. "You can talk now."

Kakarot frowns. Irritation is clear in his eyes. He begins to speak in a rude tone. "For you to figure this out so soon is completely unexpected. I was thinking since you all are well into fighting, you would find out when it's too late." He tilts his head and chuckles. "What are you going to do now? Kill me? You'll end up killing him too… but I doubt you care. Things are suddenly too complicated for you, right? How unfortunate."

"Kakarot doesn't talk like that." Raditz points a finger at the warrior. "His speech is different from ours. Kakarot doesn't talk like he just did. He doesn't use words that have more than 10 letters." What he said could be a joke, but he has a point.

ChiChi walks and stands next to Nappa. "Youzi."

Kakarot grins. "It's been awhile ."

"Where's my husband?"

"Don't worry. He's dreaming. In case you're too worried, I only have control when his guard is completely down both physically and mentally. When he's asleep for example. That's the only time I can do that. When he wakes, I'm completely harmless. He doesn't like me much."

"I'm aware." ChiChi crouches down as well. "What the hell do you want?"

"I won't kill you as long as you don't abuse that damn crown. It hurts like hell!" Kakarot growls. "Secondly… your answer. Haha. Maybe I just want to have a little fun. Goku agrees."

"What's the real answer?"

"I'm just craving to see blood."

ChiChi gasps. Kakarot said the very same thing after killing Bora.

"Be careful. Especially you, Saiyans." Kakarot laughs. "He's suffering very much. If you say something that can hurt his feelings, you'll regret it, because that's when I have the spotlight."

Nappa growls.

"I think the first one to go is the bald bastard over here." Kakarot looks at the general. "The old man can fight quite well."

Nappa prepares to punch him. "That's it!"

"No! That's Yozui, not Goku!" ChiChi catches his fist before it could hit the warrior. The Saiyan is actually surprised. ChiChi has a good grip.

Kakarot bursts out laughing. "I think I'm going to enjoy this! Don't worry. Goku won't remember this. He never saw any of this. I'll be waiting for the day you make a big mistake. Be careful."

Nappa grabs the muzzle and puts it back against the warrior's mouth. He stands and presses the button on the wall. The cage closes back.

"This isn't good. He literally has a walking weapon." Tarble frowns. "Kakarot is completely oblivious to this. We have to warn him."

"Then what? Kakarot can't comprehend simple math. He's stubborn enough. He won't listen." Raditz growls. "We have to focus on a way to get rid of that thing."

"That's going to be tough." Kauli frowns.

Raditz crosses his arms and grumbles, "Speaking for the audience here; I really hate that damn monkey."

Vegeta frowns. He walks for the control room. "Everyone, we have an emergency meeting to hold. Gather together. This is an important discussion."

Not everyone heads for that room right away. Kauli jumps high, and she sets a book on a shelf 10 feet from the ground.

Karot is alert. "Miss, be careful! Near that shelf is a fail-safe system! If you touch the button it'll mess with your energy and-"

A shockwave is unleashed from the shelf. The woman screams as she falls from flying. She expects to hit the ground, but she feels great pain instead on her tail. She is hanging upside down. She lifts her head to see, and Turles is holding her tail.

"Don't you know how to watch yourself? You should know how this ship works by now. Foolish." Turles drops her on the ground rudely. He hovers above, crossing his arms.

Kauli dusts herself off. "I suppose I should thank you, but knowing you, thanks is not your thing. Fine. But still, thanks."

Tarble frowns. "Some way to treat a lady." His eyes slightly narrow as they send a glare towards Turles. He walks to Kauli, and he offers his hand to her. "Don't mind him. He's-"

"An asshole. You don't have to tell me twice." Kauli lightly pushes the hand away. "Thank you, but I'm not a delicate flower. I'm a cactus. I can stand on my own even in the harshest conditions. Thank you very much." She stands and heads for the control room.

"You're welcome." Tarble smiles lightly. He joins his brother and crosses his arms. "Alright! Let's get lined up!"

Raditz looks towards Turles. "This is going to be very hard for you." He walks for the medical room. "I have to get my son."

"Which one?" Nappa has to asks.

"Very funny. I only have one." Raditz growls. "One just happens to come from the future. That's the one I intend on getting." He looks towards Turles once more. "Don't try so hard. You'll hurt yourself." He walks away with that note.

Turles is just confused. "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"You know what I'm talking about!"

Turles just turns away. He heads for the control room.

The medical room door opens, and Future Trunks inside turns around quickly. "Raditz…"

"You don't have to force yourself to say my name, kid." Raditz stands next to the teen. He looks at the baby sleeping inside the container. "I'm willing to take care of the one there even if it drives me insane."

The teenager looks at Raditz with a small smile. "I didn't think I would hear that from you. Thanks R- I mean… father."

"I'm going to have to get used to hearing that." Raditz sounds like he's speaking more towards himself than his son. He tilts his head towards the door. "We have to head for the control room. Vegeta has an emergency meeting, and I feel like it's going to be a long one. Tarble seems like he has a lot to say too."

"Yeah. I guess I don't have a choice anyway." The teenager walks out the door with his father. He closes the door and heads for the room the meeting will be held. "I made enough mistakes."

"We all have flaws. What's important is what you learn from them." Raditz says. He lightly punched the teen. He doesn't bother to apologize when the teen nearly fell. "Next time, do your research before telling us some crazy news."

Future Trunks rubs his arm. "Yeah."

Vegeta stands tall as everyone stands in front of him at the other side of the table. "Let's put this meeting into business. Our main discussion… is focused on Kakarot."

Tarble nods. "Second discussion. An important matter involving Gero's other creation."

"Then it's all settled into a decision on what to do with Kakarot." Vegeta ends the small list.

A/N: Finally finished!

Congrats! You finished reading the first chapter of book 4… even if most of it was mostly a summary of the last three books you already read!

Don't hate me.

This chapter was awfully short. I'll be honest. I'm trying to make these chapters shorter. Book 3 was ridiculous.

Possible Questions:

PQ1: Will Kakarot ever recover from what happened to him?

A: That even I don't know yet. I haven't wrote that far. :/

PQ2: When are the Saiyans going to work with the others?

A: You'll see soon enough.

PQ3: Kauli is allergic to cats?

A: Yep.

Funny. I love cats.

PQ4: Youzi is possessing Kakarot?

A: Since Kakarot is a Saiyan , doing that is impossible unless he had completely lowered his guard.

That is awfully rare… though Kakarot has his guard down more than anyone, but not entirely.

PQ5: What is Vegeta planning?

A: You'll see.

Next Time:

*Insert DBZKai "episode preview theme" here*

Raditz: (firmly) Hey. It's Raditz. Oldest brother of Kakarot.

Raditz: (irritated) The way this meeting is going is not what I hoped. Damn it, Kakarot!

Vegeta: (firmly) The order is clear! We have no other choice!

Tarble: (firmly) The potential of these children are clear! We… we'll have to consider training them as warriors!

ChiChi: (angry) ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Future Trunks: (alarmed) Guys. There's a bit of trouble heading our way.

Raditz: (annoyed) Great. More soldiers.

Raditz: Next time on; "The Dissonance of The Earthling Saiyan"! Chapter 2: "Mentor the newest generation!"

(Baby Trunks tilts his head as Raditz picks him up.)

Raditz: (looks ahead) Daddy's going to show you something really cool.

REVIEW! REVIEW!

To be Continued in Chapter 2!

Upcoming Chapters: (Read at your own risk!)

Chapter 1: "Spiritual manipulation? Fantasy vs. Reality!" We take a look back at where we left off. The battles and situations have shaped Kakarot to who he is!

Questions raise on what could be the reason besides Kakarot's actions that took place moments before. Could there be something truly behind this? It may just be. Tarble gets a good idea on what is going on. Kakarot explains his reasons… but is it really Kakarot?

Chapter 2: "Mentor the newest generation!" As the investigation on Cell stretches on, Baby Trunks takes his first look into what it means to be a Saiyan warrior! Gohan's recent outburst has the Saiyans realizing just how powerful he is. For Raditz and Nappa, it means looking into both childrens' potential and trying to understand a way to tap into it!

Chapter 3: "Law and Order." The Saiyans make a final decision on how the deal with Kakarot! The way things will be handled doesn't exactly benefit the warrior! When things are placed in a big discussion, Kakarot finds himself in a deep hole.

One prince far surpasses the other, but they both hold a high level of monarchy that cannot be ignored. One lays down the laws, the other moves things into investigation within a court! It's hard to believe, but the brothers' differences actually are balanced!

Chapter 4: "A glance into ignored doors! A sneak peek to new heights!" Kauli seems to realize that a Saiyan is indeed born to fight. Every Saiyan has a reason to fight, and she learns that being a warrior means more than just fighting alone. Gohan's hidden potential is one thing, but somehow, another warrior seems to have something hidden that has all eyes opening. They aren't something to just brush aside! With enough training and control, they may just be stronger than imagined!

Chapter 5: "Looking deeper into the investigation." It turns out that Turles may not be too far from his chances of being in the same circle as everyone else. Kakarot brings up a topic that seems to prove that fact alone.

Meanwhile, Kauli has gathered enough information to puzzle everything together. She plays it dumb with her target at first just to get more of what she needs.

Also, it seems something odd is showing between a duo.
