Sweat dripped on the rocky soil as the warrior struggled to push himself off the ground. A soft groan escaped from his mouth. Every muscle in his body ached with such intensity, it was maddening. The planet's heavy pressure wanted to pin him down, but he didn't allow it. With clenched teeth, he dug his fingers into the ground and pushed himself up. He repeated the process several times, but took his time. There was no rush. They had all the time in the world.

"Ah! I-I can't do it anymore…"

His ears twitched upon hearing a tired, stammering young voice. He glanced to the left and saw his short-haired son lying on the ground, out of breath. His only offspring drenched in sweat and with no energy left in chubby arms. However, he wouldn't allow his boy to take a break just yet. It was of great importance for the child to get used to this harsh environment and grow strong.

He already reached the quota for today, but he kept going. "Gohan! Get up this instant!" His strict voice forced the half-breed to look at him. "I-I know you're tired, but you can't allow something like this to get in your way! You're a warrior and we don't back down so easily! Haa!" The loud growl rang through the deserted place as he did more push-ups.

The boy closed his eyes as he shifted around. Sweat slid down his pudgy, bruised cheeks. "M-My entire body feels like it's on fire. I-I can't… My arms hurt!" Gohan released a painful cry when he tried to continue the training.

Kakarot didn't say a word for almost a minute. He focused on his training until he took a brief pause to speak. "Hmph, fine. If your arms hurt that much, then use your legs. Run around, get used to the gravity." He didn't even gaze at his son. The only thing on his mind was to keep doing and finish what he started.

He could tell by the tone in his father's voice that the man wasn't pleased. "Y-Yes, father." After a minute, he rose from the ground. The boy fought against the pressure and closed both hands tightly. "Ah! Haa!" He took a step forward and trudged away from his father.

The boy released a grunt as he extended the distance. He hated this. It made him seem weak and useless. And worse of all, it disappointed his father. That was something he never wanted to be. He wanted his father to be proud of him, count on him when the time comes. The man was his drive, his motivation to grow strong, reliable, and smart warrior. His tail swayed wildly behind the back when he let out a childish growl. As he continued to wander, his pacing increased.

As soon as his son left, Kakarot dropped on the ground. He couldn't move anymore. There wasn't even a bit of energy left in him. He breathed laboriously while he held his eyes closed. The cold breeze helped, but it wasn't enough. His entire body was on fire. But despite that, the big smirk never left.

He opened his eyes and stared at the black sky. His wild hair danced on the wind. It was there. The power he sought was within reach. He could feel it brewing inside him. This was the most intense and harsh training he put himself under. Never did he work so hard, not even when the earthlings hunted him. A chuckle escaped from his mouth as a memory of the time on planet Earth flashed before his dark orbs. For a moment, he wondered what those few survivors were doing.

Kakarot quickly threw those meaningless thoughts away when he heard a familiar voice. "Taking a break? Catch!" He shifted into a sitting position and caught a piece of meat. His stomach growled and wasting no time, he ate.

While his younger brother was devouring the animal's leg, Raditz looked around. "Where's the boy? Shouldn't he be training with you?" After he asked that, the long-haired Saiyan stirred his eyes to Kakarot.

"He went in that direction. I told him to run around and get used to the gravity."

The taller warrior commented nothing on that matter. He had something more important to discuss with his brother. "At least you're making some progress… I still can't understand this energy-sensing crap! It's taking too much time, unlike those other techniques you showed me!" It was annoying. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't feel a thing.

Before he said anything, Kakarot swallowed the last piece of meat. "Hn, you're too tense. Just relax and empty your head. We're in no rush." He paused and wiped his mouth with the back of the hand. "I had the same problem as you, but eventually I figured out. It'll come to you, don't worry." Now that he ate, he felt much better.

He stood up and moved his head left and right. "Sit down, I'll help you." It was a pain to remain on his feet, but he didn't let that get to him.

Raditz stared at his brother for two seconds, wondering what kind of help could Kakarot provide. "Hm, all right. You better show me how this thing works properly. I don't want to spend all my time on this rock learning this." There were other things he needed to work on.

Kakarot just smirked. "Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it quick." The Saiyan released a sneer while he watched his brother sit. "Now, close your eyes and relax. Empty your mind, think of nothing, and focus on everything that surrounds you." He squeezed his hands and released a little amount of ki.

The warrior's brows twitched. He tried to do as his younger brother instructed, but it wasn't easy. Anger, hate, doubt were only a part of things that clouded his mind. He thought too much about his elite companions. It was getting in his way and he knew it. Just as he tried to toss everything aside, a strong punch collided with his right cheek.

He fell on the side and shook his head. "Damn it! That hurt, you idiot! Why did you do that!? I'll kill you!" Consumed by anger, Raditz got up quickly and approached Kakarot.

The wild-haired Saiyan just crossed his arms and tilted the head to the side. "Oh, c'mon! Don't act like a baby, Raditz." His words infuriated the taller man, on which he released a sigh. "I'll hit you all the time until I see you're fully relaxed and focused. Maybe you'll learn faster when you know there's a constant danger." Kakarot lifted his hand and hid the grin from the warrior.

Raditz continued to glare. He wasn't sure if Kakarot was making things up or was serious. It looked like his brother was enjoying this. "Tch, fine! It's not as if your punches are strong… Barely even felt it." He sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

"Well, I bet you'll feel the next one."

His ears jerked. "What was that? Did you say something?" He gazed at Kakarot, who just shook the head in denial. The Saiyan narrowed his eyes, sure he heard his brother say something. However, he gave up on that and closed his eyes again.

Meanwhile, Gohan continued his training. As time passed, he got used to it. He was far away from his father's location, but that didn't bother him. With the entire population dead, no one on this planet could do him any harm. He took a few breaks. The boy hunted some weird-looking animals and ate to replenish his energy.

Two hours went by since his last break. He looked around and found a pleasant spot to sit down and eat. After he got there, Gohan leaned against the boulder and pulled out a little piece of meat. It was his last, so he will have to find some animals in this region. While he chewed on the meat, he couldn't but wonder if his father's and uncle's plan will work. It was a risk and he wasn't fond of going back to the Freeza Force. If they asked him, he would rather travel to some planet and stay there. However, he knew that was impossible.

The boy released a sigh and gazed at the sky. "I wonder if we'll forever work for Freeza… Bah, I hope not!" He hated that pink lizard, even more than Nappa and Vegeta.

His tail wiggled on the side as he stared at the big, shining thing in the sky that got covered by the clouds. "It reminds me of Earth…" He didn't even know why he thought of that planet. Maybe because it was his birthplace. A part of him longed for his home, the human side. After five seconds, that feeling vanished. A wild and primitive force overtook everything.

Gohan's orbs changed from black to crimson. The fur on his tail spiked as the light pierced the clouds. Once the clouds sailed away, the boy's body changed. His size increased. Brow fur covered his body as he kept growing. The boulder behind him shattered to pieces as he completed the transformation. His eyes twitched while he glared at the full moon. He raised his massive fists and let out a sky-piercing roar.

The beast smashed the fists against the chest and roared once again. Shortly after, the monster turned around and started destroying the landscape. The huge beast fired one blast after another, all from the mouth. While the explosions reflected into his red eyes, the gigantic ape growled and ran toward the flames.

This time he felt it. An incredible spark hit his senses and enveloped the entire body. Sweat dripped from his chin as he opened his eyes. It was unreal, but for a moment he could feel a powerful force. He looked up and noticed his younger brother was on edge. The warrior blinked in confusion until he felt tremors.

Raditz rose from the ground and looked around. "The hell's going on!? Why's the ground shaking!?" He turned to his brother as he yelled.

Kakarot didn't reply. Sweat traveled down his cheek as he stared into the distance. "Gohan…" He mumbled the name of his son and frowned. "Tch! It's Gohan! His ki suddenly skyrocketed! He must've transformed… That's the only explanation!" This wasn't good. Last time his son changed under the full moon it was a major pain.

The long-haired warrior's eyes were wide open. "What!? But there's no full moon? Wait! Maybe there was, but we didn't see it because of the clouds!?" He placed a hand under his chin as he thought about that. "Well, as long as he doesn't come here then there's nothing to worry about." As soon as he finished the sentence, he felt a serious glare from Kakarot.

"What!? Just let him go wild. He'll wear himself out and eventually turn back to normal once the moon disappears."

However, Kakarot wasn't so sure about that. "I'm going there." He took a step forward. The wild-haired warrior was about to fly over to his son when a firm hand seized his shoulder.

His brother was insane. "Are you out of your mind? If you go over there while he's out of control, you'll get yourself killed! Besides, what if you look at the moon and transform as well? Think about it, you might kill each other without even knowing!" He turned Kakarot around and glared into his eyes.

The younger male remained silent for a minute. He could hear the roar from the distance. "Hmph, that may happen, but I can't just sit back and do nothing." Kakarot smacked his brother's hand away and smirked. "If it comes to worst, I'll just cut his tail off since we trained our tails." He didn't want to do it, but if there wasn't any choice...

This was a surprise. He didn't know Kakarot and the boy trained their tails. "I see… Well, I say you let him rampage around the planet, but do as you wish." He took a step back and sat on a nearby stone. "I guess this isn't the first time he transformed. He's still young, so his tail will grow back." The Saiyan crossed his muscular arms and gazed at Kakarot.

Kakarot nodded while he tracked his son's ki. "Isn't there a way to control this form? There should be, right?" He shifted his head and stirred his orbs to Raditz.

His black hair swayed in the wind as the tremors increased. The boy was coming and he really didn't want to deal with that. "Hm, only the elite warriors could control the Oozaru. Vegeta and Nappa are in full control while I, for example, can't control myself for over ten minutes." He paused for a moment and took a breather.

He shifted his gaze to the explosions in the distance and continued. "If there's anyone who knows how then that's Nappa. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue. Perhaps it depends on the individual's will." Raditz shrugged with his shoulders as he stared at the spreading fire.

Kakarot cursed under his breath and looked away. "Hm… Anyway, I'm going there. I guess you'll stay here?" His brother's nod was more than enough. Saying nothing else, Kakarot slowly flew and tried not to yield to the heavy gravity.

He flew as fast as possible, but it wasn't easy. The pressure was always there, preventing him from flying smoothly. He released an annoyed snarl as he almost dropped on the ground. Only one second of losing his focus and he nearly crashed against the rocky soil. He clenched his teeth and regained his composure. It took him three hours to reach the place. The Saiyan floated high in the sky, right above the rampaging ape.

His son aimlessly fired the blast. The powerful wind almost blew him away. If there was only a little more energy behind that blast, the entire planet would explode. This was exactly what he feared. He couldn't let Gohan ruin their plan. It wasn't their time to return to the Freeza Force. He had no other choice but to cut his son's tail.

It wouldn't be easy. His son always moved around and the gravity was another problem. He needed to wait for a perfect opportunity to present itself. However, it was risky to wait for that. As slowly as possible, he descended. Each time the ape threw the rocks or fired a ki blast, he flew down. The most important thing was to sneak behind and blast the tail.

"Tch, it would be easier if that moron came with me!"

Just when he needed Raditz's help, his brother was useless. He was close and flew to the side. Kakarot brought both hands to the hip and gathered the energy. The blue light illuminated the ground. However, it didn't go unnoticed by the ape. Before he could fire, Gohan swung the giant arm and smacked Kakarot away.

"Gah!"

The strength behind the punch was astonishing. He crashed with his face and rolled across the ground until he slammed into a rock. Blood dripped from the cut on his forehead as he struggled to get up. It was impossible. He couldn't arise from the ground.

Kakarot coughed and knew his son was approaching. "Heh, already done in… From just one punch." The Saiyan lifted his head and stared into Gohan's crimson eyes. Before the beast could stomp him, Kakarot fired a ki blast into the ground and escaped.

Not even ten seconds in the air and the gravity pulled him down. "Ah! N-No!" He fought against it, but the strike he received was too much. The warrior fell on the ground against his will and tried to get up again.

Somehow, he got up, but his legs wouldn't support him for too long. While his legs quivered, Kakarot lifted his head. As he did that, his eyes grew wide open as Oozaru's enormous mouth was only ten meters from where he stood. Blood and sweat combined and dripped from his chin. He could hear the faint growling. It was a matter of seconds before the ape did something. There was only one thing he could do.

He tried to lift his weary arms as fast as possible. However, the second he did that, Gohan opened his mouth. "G-Gohan! Stop this! GOHAN I TOLD YOU TO STOP!" His scream rang over the deserted and wrecked valley.

Agonizing cries echoed over the devastated city. Everything was in ruins. Scorching flames surrounded the entire place. There was nowhere to run. Buildings fell, one after another. No matter how much the military tried, they were no match for the men who fell from the purple sky. They set off vast explosions and killed anyone who dared to oppose them. The invaders didn't care if it was a man, woman, old, young, or an animal. They slaughtered everybody.

They continued their path of destruction through the entire world. Cities fell, the military succumb to their might and they erased the people from existence. It was all to please their master and prepare the insignificant planet for potential buyers.

However, all of that didn't seem to satisfy the flame-haired warrior. "Nothing but a bunch of weaklings. I'm tired of this! It's a waste of my time!" A throbbing vein appeared on his forehead as he blasted a hole into a soldier's stomach.

This was a second mission in the row and it was too easy. There was no challenge for him and that made him irritated. Unlike his bald companion, he received no pleasure in destroying useless things. His warrior blood sought proper fight. A battle where he could put his life on the line. He wanted to feel that rush, the adrenaline. And emerge victorious and stronger than before.

And yet, here he was killing pathetic creatures who couldn't even fight back. "Hey, don't let this get you. I'm sure the next mission will be the real deal." The last thing he wanted to hear was his voice. He shot a murderous glare to the taller companion, who immediately went quiet.

Suddenly, his scouter came to life. There was a low power level trying to run away. Annoyed, he swiftly raised his right hand and without looking fired a powerful blast. The explosion forced even the older warrior to brace himself.

He crossed his arms and walked away. "Tch! Are we done with this rock?" The short warrior gazed at the bald man who weakly nodded. "Five months of travel worth nothing! Let's get out of here, Nappa. I'll have a word with Zarbon as soon as we get to the station." He flew to the sky and the Saiyan followed.

The short prince didn't care what was Zarbon going to say. He would get what he wants. There was no way he would work for such pitiful tasks when he knew there were planets with powerful races.

Heavy blows echoed above the ground as they clashed. Their fists collided and blew away the clouds. Both warriors wore smirks on their battered faces. They stared at each other for two seconds until the younger one drew the arm back and twisted. The taller warrior blocked the hefty kick and lifted a knee. A groan left the wild-haired man's mouth as the solid knee struck his gut. He raised his tired hand, expecting to hit the long-haired warrior with a blast, but a firm grip seized his arm. Before he knew it, he was heading to the ground.

He clutched his teeth and closed both hands strongly. "Ka Me Ha Me!" While he was going down, the warrior brought his hands near the hip and gathered energy. Suddenly, he turned around and put the palms forward. "Haa!" He shot his strongest ki blast toward the man in the sky.

The blue blast was coming and quick, but he didn't seem disturbed. He lifted both hands above the head and released a grunt. Purple sparks surrounded his sturdy and marked in cuts arms. The energy traveled to his hands and formed ki orbs above each palm.

Once he poured all his energy, he lowered the hands and discharged his attack. "Double Sunday!" The purple blast erupted out of his palms and flew toward the incoming attack.

When those blasts made contact, the force behind it produced a storm. The ground shattered and the rocks levitated in the air. Their screams rang over the black sky. Neither of the two gave up, and that caused the blasts to detonate mid-air. The insane explosion sent both warriors flying. While the younger one crashed on the ground, the other was out of balance and blow away. The long-haired warrior eventually fell on the ground and stayed lying there.

After everything settled down, a robust boy flew from one warrior to another. The boy's long hair swung in the wind as he checked out the brothers. Sweat slid down his face when he saw the state of their bodies.

"Father! You and uncle Raditz went over the line this time! I can't treat your wounds…"

A hand urged him to halt. "Hehe… That's exactly what we aimed for. G-Gohan, use the controller and summon the pods. It's time to leave this rock!" The man's laugh lasted for five seconds.

There was a muffled laugh from the other side as well, but it died out quickly. The scar-faced boy released a sigh and did what he was told. Finally, after all the rigid training and survival on this planet, they are leaving.

And here's the end of Chapter 11! Thank you NarupokeeAurorafan and Luke for the constant reviews and amazing support! I really appreciate it! As for what Luke asked in the review, Kakarot and Raditz already have an excuse planned for Vegeta and Freeza. Anyway, that's mostly it and I hope you guys will like it. Until next time, bye!
