A/N: Hello. I hope you guys enjoy this interesting new tale. I was inspired to write this after writing Dragonball Legends. Check it out. It's a fantastic story. But also visit my profile to learn more about me and my published books (Superkid) and what I am going to publish, (Sunrise Sunset).

But without further ado, here is The Goddess of the Earth

I do not own DBZ

An old man lying on his death bed began to curse himself for his body giving out so quickly. There was so much he needed to do, mistakes he had yet to correct. There was only one man who he could turn to in his last desperate hour of need and if he refused his last request, all hope for the earth was lost. "Goku, thank you for coming."

"No problem, Dr. Brief." The wild haired man with the smile that could cheer anyone took a seat by Dr. Brief's bedside. "I'm glad to see you again." He frowned, feeling the weight of what was happening to his old friend. "It's too bad we're not meeting under more pleasant circumstances."

Dr. Brief began to cough harshly. Two weeks ago he was in perfect health and after one trip around the world for research, he was on his deathbed. "Goku, there is something I need you to do before I die." If there was one person on the planet who Dr. Brief had total trust in, it was Goku.

"I promise if it's in my power, I will do as you ask."

"Thank you, Goku." It broke Dr. Brief's heart to ask Goku such a favor, but the sake of very world depended on his despair. "I need you to kill Bulma."

His eyes bucked. "What?" Bulma was his closet friend, Dr. Brief's own daughter! How could he ask such a thing? "Why?"

"Don't think that this is an easy request. It took long and careful observation to come to this conclusion." In a way, he blamed himself. "Goku, I didn't find you. A man named Gohan did."

"But..." Dr. Brief was the closet thing to a father that he had. "Why would you lie to me?"

He was so full of shame that tears welled up in his eyes. "I was monitoring the skies when your spaceship fell."

"Spaceship?" Goku asked. "You mean I'm an alien?"

"Yes." Dr. Brief told Goku he was special, but had yet to tell him his true origins. "I found out where you were and I lied to Gohan and told him that you belonged to me."

"For what purpose?"

He didn't think it was possible, but his shame increased. "To study you, to find out things about you and where you're from."

"And why did you keep me in the dark for so long?" It was obvious that he was a special boy. He had a monkey tail and wasn't allowed to look up at a full moon, because he would become a gigantic beast. For so long, he thought he was cursed.

"I don't know..." Dr. Brief's lip began to quiver. He did care about Goku immensely. He should have been honest.

There was so much Goku should have said and asked about himself, but there was something more important to talk about. "Why do you want me to kill Bulma?"

"When you drank that spiritual water that unlocked your potential, you became so much more powerful. When you gave it to Bulma, it unlocked so much of her brilliance. Her mind became unlimited." Dr. Brief thought it would be a great idea if she received such a gift and it had done so well for Goku. How could he have properly calculated the repercussions? "But she's not the same little girl I raised."

His eyes glazed over with fear. He couldn't quite explain what he saw when he looked at his girl, but he had full confidence in what he knew in his bones. "Something dark unleashed within her. Now she's filled with such hubris. She's on the verge of thinking she's a god and with that level of intelligence, it could very well happen."

"So what are you saying?" Goku yelled furiously, gripping tightly onto the handles on his chair.

"I'm saying that I know my daughter very well." Tears rolled down his cheeks and on his lips. The salty taste was so incredibly bitter. "You have to stop her before she unleashes darkness on this earth."

Goku listened carefully and began to nod his head, understanding and even agreeing with what Dr. Brief was saying. Then he began to laugh. At first it was quiet and controlled, but soon it became maniacal.

"I don't understand..." Dr. Brief mumbled in awe.

"It's just humerus that you would think that I'd want to stop her or that you don't believe she's on to you." Goku got out of his chair and began to pace around the room. "You see, Bulma already told me about my origin. She even told me what I was sent to do. 'Destroy, Kakarot, destroy.' That's what my ship said. That's why you didn't want to tell me what I was."

Dr. Brief had never been so frightened in his life. If Bulma had found a way to corrupt the most powerful man on the planet, there was no hope left. "Goku, please-"

"I'm not finished yet!" Goku yelled to the top of his lungs and scaring Dr. Brief until he muttered tiny whimpers like a little dog. "You think you're so clever, but you can't even see the obvious truth."

"What truth?"

Goku laughed at the old fool. "You didn't contract some kind of virus on a business trip. Bulma poisoned you!"

Despite what he was asking Goku to do, Dr. Brief's eyes were filled with such disbelief. "She would–"

"Would never get rid of someone in her way?" Goku asked smartly. "Of course she would. She's just pissed that you're taking so long to die. She didn't want you to have time to change your will or anything crazy like that." He smiled gleefully. "That's where I come in."

He felt his heart fill with an uncontainable horror, yet his body betrayed him and he could not find the strength to move. "You've come here to kill me?"

Goku smiled. "Technically, I should have already killed you, but yes." Goku had never stalked his prey before. He had sought out to kill someone and was pleased once he had his victory, but he had never purposely destroyed an innocent life before. The hunt was thrilling, even if it was so easy to walk over closely to Dr. Brief's bedside and place his fingers on his chest. "And don't worry about your breaking heart, Dr. Brief." He smiled and pushed his powerful fingers through Dr. Brief's frail chest quickly, breaking through his insides until his fingers wound tightly around his heart. Dr. Brief gasped for air and spewed blood from his mouth and splattered it onto Goku's face. He wasn't upset. The bloodshed exhilarated him. And when he ripped out Dr. Brief's heart and held it in his hand, he truly understood his heritage and wondered how he could have waited so long to wreck havoc on the planet. "I'll make sure to give this to Bulma, so you can be with her always."

Goku held the heart in his hand and stared at it for a while. In a way, he was amazed at his cruelty, but at the same time, it felt incredibly natural. He would rip out one hundred more if it would please his woman.

He strutted through the hallways of Capsule Corp to the beautiful femme fatale leaning sexily against the wall as she gazed out of a window. She used to admire the dawn, but now all she thought about when she looked out into the world was how she could rule over all the disgusting commoners and then crush those who would stand against her under her delicate feet. When she saw her dear friend, she smiled. "Did you do it?"

Goku replicated her expression and placed the heart in her hand. "Of course I did."

Bulma looked at the very fresh heart in her hand and was a little disgusted, but then smirked. "A bit dramatic, don't you think?"

"I'm a fan of theatrics."

Bulma tossed it behind her, knowing she could have one of her workers clean it up when she ordered them to do so. "I'm curious though, Goku. I did just ask you to kill my own father. You're not concerned that I'll betray you?" She rubbed her fingers, enjoying the texture of the blood rubbing into her skin.

"I assume you need my power, Bulma. Besides," he whispered seductively, "I'm a little hard to kill."

"I've noticed." She began to circle around Goku. He was indeed an impressive specimen. With his help, she knew she could accomplish what she needed in order to rule the earth with a beautiful and unbreakable diamond fist. "You're safe from my wrath."

Goku wrapped his arms around Bulma's voluptuous body and smiled naughtily. "I expect you and I are going to have a lot of fun, Ms. Brief."

She placed one hand on the back of his neck and stroked his attractive face with her thumb, not minding the blood that they both had on their hands, even though his were snaking down to her butt. "I expect we are, Goku."

"Call me Kakarot."

And the two indulged themselves in each other's grasp, swearing an oath to be partners as long as they both had breath in their bodies. He would be her weapon and as long as he could fight, he would do as she pleased. They made their commitment through the shedding of her father's blood and through a covenant, contracted with their very own bodies. They were more than friends. They were more than partners. They were more than lovers. They were conquerors and the universe was soon to tremble at the might of their abundant cruelty.

Chapter 1

"Kakarot..." A visitor from another world was not pleased once he landed on earth to see the inhabitants not only alive, but thriving. Earth was a beautiful planet that would have fetched a high price for his particular business, but it wouldn't sell if there were still humans populating the planet. He had to know why the planet was still so heavily populated and why the warrior sent to eradicate the earthlings had failed.

He had a device capable of finding the man he seeked. He pressed a button on the scouter on his ear and watched the small screen across his eye and read the readings as it scanned the planet for high power levels. "Theses humans are puny. How could Kakarot fail so miserably?"

He was so furious! If Kakarot was so incapable of handling such a simple job, how could he aide Raditz in an even bigger assignment that he needed assistance for? When he found the highest power level on the planet, it angered him. "Kakarot! How could you forget about your mission? Your Saiyan pride?"

Raditz took off to the skies to find him and when he did, he was going to either force Kakarot to do his job or make him pay!

"More!" Kakarot demanded as he pounded his fists into his huge dinner table. He was on an errand for his beloved queen. He traveled to different sectors of the earth and made sure they were willing and obedient slaves. As long as they paid proper tribute and followed Bulma's every will, they could live long and happy lives.

When Kakarot strolled into East City, the finest cooks prepared him a buffet of unique and delicious cuisines. He always had a big appetite and gladly accepted everything they had until he had done the nearly impossible task and stuffed himself. "You humans did a very good job today. I don't think anyone will die." He patted his stomach happily.

"Lord Kakarot..." The mayor of the city who was very loyal and afraid of Bulma bowed before Kakarot. He wanted to make sure he didn't end up dead like his predecessor. "I've brought you something you might like."

"Oh?" Kakarot asked intrigued.

"Yes, my lord." He turned and clapped his hands towards the workers and a few men led out ten girls, all very stunning. "I thought you might want to appease all of your appetites while in our city."

Kakarot smirked once he saw the girls. They were a feast for his eyes, but he was also offended. "If your god saw that you were trying to give me concubines, she would reign down her wrath on all of you."

They all began to cower in fear. They didn't anticipate a man defying beautiful women. "We're so sorry, my lord!" the mayor said. He even got on his hands and knees and began to grovel. "I beg your forgiveness!" Everyone got on their hands and knees and did the same.

Kakarot laughed. "Don't be so paranoid," Kakarot said. "I'm not nearly as cruel and quick to judgement as she." Kakarot got out of his seat and walked over to the girls. They were gorgeous and all of different skin and hair shades. There was one exotic looking beauty with long black hair that reminded of someone, but he lost the thought. "I don't sleep with other women though."

"Of course!" the mayor said. "You are only loyal to our great queen. Forgive me! I am a fool."

Kakarot smirked. "Yes, you are." With a flick of his wrist, a beam of light left his finger tips and slashed the man in his throat powerfully enough until his head fell clear from off his shoulders. The men and women in the restaurant wanted to scream and run for their lives, but they all knew Kakarot's reputation. They didn't want to excite his bloodlust.

"We don't need a fool in charge." Kakarot scanned the room for anyone acceptable and pointed to one of the chefs, still gripping tightly to his wood spoon. "You!"

The man began to shake. "Yes, Lord Kakarot?"

"I enjoyed your spaghetti sauce. You seem competent. You will now led this city."

"Yes, Sir!" He dropped to the floor and bowed to him on his hands and knees. "I swear I will not let you down."

Kakarot sighed. "Yes, that's what you all say." He was officially bored of being there and walked out of the restaurant. He didn't plan to kill anyone, but it made him happy that someone deserved to die and that he was able to end their life.

Kakarot was getting ready to fly away, but he was intrigued once he felt a powerful energy fast approaching. He smiled, finally anticipating a challenge. No one was up to his level. "This certainly should be interesting."

The stranger landed quickly in front of Kakarot. He had long and wild hair that went down to his legs, yet he had a widow's peak. One thing Kakarot saw was his tail wound tightly around his waist. "Kakarot, it's been a long time."

Kakarot cocked his brow. The stranger did look vaguely familiar, but he was no one that Kakarot knew. "I don't know who you are, but my name is Goku," he lied. "I have no idea who this Kakarot is!"

He grunted angrily. "Don't be a fool! Your name is Kakarot! You are a Saiyan warrior from the planet Vegeta!"

"What?" he asked surprised. "I'm an alien?"

Raditz was dumbfounded. "You've forgotten your mission, Kakarot? We sent you here to clear this planet of it's inhabitants!"

"What?" he asked horrified. "Why would I do that? I'm a good guy."

"What?" Raditz was embarrassed and the only way to mask it was by rage. "You protect these weaklings?"

"Yes. All of the earthlings. I protect these humans, the cute little animals, even the trees." Kakarot couldn't contain himself and began snickering. "I'm sorry. The look on your face is just priceless."

Raditz honestly didn't understand, but he could see that Kakarot was not an innocent fool. He was simply an idiot. "I see you're not so soft, Kakarot, so why didn't you fulfill your mission?"

"I know about my mission." He crossed his arms, but he was still chuckling about his valiant oath. "Honestly, I enjoy killing people as much as I assume you do, but I never had any intention of destroying these people. That's ridiculous."

"And why so, Kakarot?" he asked curiously.

Kakarot smirked. "Humans!" he yelled.

A flood of people poured out into the parking lot of the restaurant and out into the streets from the surrounding business and homes. Those who didn't hear Kakarot's yell heard the commotion from others who did and in less than sixty seconds, hundreds had come to bow before him.

Raditz began to laugh. "You rule these humans?" It was something he had seen in his line of work before, but those who defected and started to play "god" were always cut down. "Surely you're above this."

"And what would you have me do?" Kakarot asked.

"We Saiyans are like...planet brokers."

"So, you're telling me that I was supposed to kill all of my humans so you can...sell this planet?" Kakarot could see how planet trading could be profitable, but he only cared about what he could get out of it. "Why should I do that? I rule these humans and they worship me. What could you offer me?"

"I see the appeal, Kakarot, but you might want to consider my offer. You see, there's a planet that my associates and I want to clear out, but the job requires another person. Then I remembered you, Kakarot."

"Why don't you get someone else to help you?"

Raditz smiled. "I thought my baby brother might want to help me."

"Brother?" Kakarot certainly wasn't expecting that, but it did explain why Raditz seemed familiar. "You don't have any cousins to help instead?"

"I'm afraid not. Unfortunately, Planet Vegeta was destroyed by a large asteroid. Everyone on the planet was killed and from what we can tell, there are only four survivors left."

"That really does suck..." Kakarot took a moment to appear sympathetic, but then shrugged. "I still can't leave this planet. These humans need a master and if I leave, everything might fall apart. I'm very important."

Raditz glared. He really was becoming very impatient. "I'm not giving you an option."

Kakarot laughed at his brother's stupidity. "Why would it make any sense to bring someone who doesn't want to cooperate on a difficult mission? I could betray all of you and then you could all die. Does that sound like a good idea, Brother?"

Raditz was a cunning and wise warrior. He didn't like being bested and he certainly didn't like being made out to be the fool. Blood or not, he was not going to let his little brother make a mockery out of him. "Then I'll just have to kill you now."

Kakarot was beginning to really get excited. It had been years since he had any sort of challenge. "You can try."

Raditz tried to attack fast, but Kakarot caught what would have been a hard blow to the knee and he punched his brother hard in the face, making him stagger back. From then on, the two began exchanging one powerful blow after the other. Raditz did not anticipate that Kakarot was that strong. It was like he had an unlimited power source. The scouter continuously kept changing each time Kakarot fired a blast. It was a gruesome battle with the two men seemingly even. They paid no mind to the damage around them or the lives they were destroying. All they had was their brawl.

"I'm having a lot of fun." Kakarot wasn't sure if he was going to win, he was just enjoying the battle. "My last rival was destroyed and these humans bruise and bleed easily." He wiped the blood from his mouth. "Do you know when was the last time I bled for anyone?"

"You could fight like this all the time, Brother. All you have to do is join me."

Suddenly, Raditz's offer did sound more intriguing. Ruling, terrifying, and occasionally killing the humans was amusing, but he lived to fight. He trained all the time to be stronger, but it wasn't worth anything if he couldn't test his skills. "How strong are your comrades?"

"I am an elite along with my comrades, but they are much stronger than you and I. They could rip you apart."

"Really?" Kakarot was unnaturally overjoyed about that. "Wow. I might have to meet these guys after all." Kakarot had one trick up his sleeve to defeat his so-called "brother" but he was going to save it for later. "Follow me and we'll discuss your proposal in more detail."

Raditz was suspicious at first, but he dismissed it. He saw the fire in his brother's eyes. He wasn't sure if he knew anyone who enjoyed a fight quite like him. "Lead the way, Brother."

Kakarot left East City wounded and burning. His philosophy was that the humans needed to be strong enough to survive in order to have earned their right to live. They could take care of their own damages. It would be a fine time for the chef to prove he was a worthy mayor...if he was still alive.

Raditz observed the planet closely. It was a beautiful planet that was also had very advanced technologically. The humans seemed to be happy and successful. Kakarot must have been doing a good job ruling them. "And you must make quite the ruler, Kakarot. You seem to have everything in order."

"Oh, I don't rule the planet. I'm only the muscle."

"What?" he barked. "You mean you take orders from a human?"

"Not a human."

As the came into the biggest city on the planet, Raditz feasted his eyes upon a gigantic statue of a beautiful woman. It shined and it gleamed and it sparkled as the sun reflected her greatness all across the land.

"I serve a god."

Radtiz was terribly disappointed in his baby brother once again. "You believe in such deities?"

"I should. I sleep with her every night." He landed on the front lawn of Capsule Corp and the gardeners outside all dropped to their knees and bowed before Kakarot. It was a nice gesture, but he was much more humble than Bulma. "Of course there are perks to sleeping with a god."

Raditz had traveled across the universe and seen a lot of impressive things, but he had never met anyone powerful enough to be considered a god. The strongest being known to him in the universe was Frieza and even he–as arrogant as he was–did not consider himself to be such a creature. "Just because a human makes a glass statue–"

"It was pure diamond, Raditz." Kakarot was a bit offended. "I helped construct it myself."

Raditz sneered. "You're a lovesick fool, Kakarot."

"I wouldn't say that. We simply have an understanding." Kakarot led Raditz inside of the building and followed Bulma's energy. It was tiny compared to his, but he wouldn't mistake it for anyone in all the universe.

They entered into a large room with a swimming pool that was the size of a small lake. Across the room, there laid the statue figure in flesh form resting in a chair in a bikini, soaking in the fake sunlight to get a tan on her milky white skin. Raditz had never seen a woman like that, nor did he think he would be attracted to a creature with blue hair, but she was gorgeous and her body was also desirable.

"Yo, Bulma!"

She opened up her eyes and perked up once she saw him. "Kakarot, you're back!"

Kakarot loved the water and had no reservation and began to strip out of his clothes. He did notice that Raditz was giving him a dirty look, but all that did was make Kakarot laugh and he jumped into the pool completely butt naked, making a splash big enough to douse Raditz on his way in.

"You're so crazy!" Bulma stood up and waited by the edge of the pool for Kakarot to swim across to her. She loved his free spirit. It was one reason why she chose him. She was also the same.

Kakarot emerged from the water and adorably leaned over the edge with his arms folded and his head resting on his arms. "You should join me."

"No." Her hair was done fashionably into long curls. She really did only come into her pool room to tan. "I'm fine, Kakarot. Besides, it would seem you've brought me a visitor."

"Apparently I have a brother."

"A brother?" She looked across the room and looked at the man hard. "You know, he does look like you."

Kakarot scoffed. "He's ugly, Bulma."

She laughed. "I think he's kind of cute. But does he look better than you? Of course not. One reason I picked you is because you are so attractive."

Kakarot smiled confidently and proudly. "Come join me, Bulma." He quickly reached up and grabbed her arm.

"Kakarot, no!" she warned friendly.

"Come on!"

Raditz watched carefully. If Bulma was indeed a god, then why was Kakarot so casual with her? He did not refer to himself as a god. He served her. Why would he behave so childishly with her? Why was she so childish? If she was so powerful, she should have blasted him immediately for his insubordination, but she was trying to fight him off, but was obviously weak compared to him. 'I wonder what her power level is...' He pressed a button on his scouter and didn't read anything higher than a level five. 'She is pitiful! How can Kakarot serve this weakling?'

"Ahhh!"

Kakarot laughed as he pulled Bulma into the pool with him. When she rose above the water, she grunted frustrated. "I should kill you for this, Kakarot!"

He laughed and grabbed her arms so she couldn't choke him. "I thought I was safe from your wrath."

"That was then. This is now."

Kakarot was a prankster and he couldn't help himself. He continued to laugh and dunk poor Bulma in the water. She was defenseless and was a poor victim of Kakarot's attack until he decided to be merciful and let her up, coughing and pissed. "Kakarot!"

"I'm sorry, Bulma." She was even beautiful to Kakarot when she was angry and he couldn't help himself and he pulled her in for a kiss.

Her lover's lips were enough to slightly calm her down. "You ruin my hair and try to kill me and you think all can be well with a kiss?"

"Well, I am naked." He smirked. "We can do more than kiss."

Bulma smirked and wrapped her arms around her lover. There was something quite delectable about him. "Kakarot..." As much as she wanted to indulge in him, she had the decency to remember the strange man that was watching them. "Your brother is still here."

Kakarot reluctantly let her go and swam with Bulma across the pool. He was even a gentleman and helped her out before he got out himself.

"What's your name?" Bulma asked.

"Raditz." He tried to see whatever Kakarot saw in her, but he couldn't recognize anything in particular. 'Perhaps her powers are mystic. My brother must be under some kind of spell. He can't be this much of a fool.' "And you're the goddess of this planet?" He tried not to sound too smug when he asked, but it came out anyway.

"I am." She placed her hands on her hips and smiled. "My name is Bulma Brief, and I rule this planet. Kakarot is my irreplaceable second." She reached back and hit him in the chest. "You had better put your pants back on."

Kakarot sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine, your majesty." He did as he was told and dressed himself.

"Now, what brings you to my humble abode?"

"I'm afraid I'll be taking Kakarot with me on a mission across the universe to conquer a planet."

She did her best to remain calm and on the outside and she did a very good job. "Kakarot, you've agreed to this?"

"I didn't agree. I just thought intergalactic fighters was very interesting."

Bulma noticed that the two of them were beat up pretty good. "Who is the strongest out of the two of you?"

"I am," they both said at the same time.

"Interesting." Bulma smiled and circled around Raditz. "Conquering other planets..." She hadn't quite thought about it. The earth was so prosperous with her ruling it, it only made sense if she would begin to expand her empire. "Would you ever consider working for me?"

He gaffed. "For a woman?"

She spoke seductively into his ear. "I'm not an ordinary woman."

Raditz was interested in Bulma. He wanted to know what was her power over Kakarot. He had to serve her for some reason. He was also interested in their physical connection. She was obviously beautiful, but a woman with that much sexual pull must have been great in bed as well. However, Raditz did not always think with his male anatomy. "I'm afraid I would rather die."

"I'm sad to hear that." She pouted. It would have been nice to have a willing and obedient servant, but she didn't need him to be willing. There were other ways. "I guess Kakarot will have to handle you then."

Kakarot wasted no time and in a flash, appeared behind Raditz with his tail in his hands. Raditz dropped to his knees screaming in agony as Kakarot twisted and pulled at it, laughing evilly. "It doesn't make any sense why a grown man like you wouldn't have enough sense to strengthen your tail, yet here we are."

"Kakarot..." Raditz had underestimated Kakarot greatly. He had noticed that his younger brother didn't have a tail and assumed since he was so clueless about his ancestry, he might not have known. "Don't do this. I'm your brother."

"Do you think I'm so soft?" he chuckled. "I don't even know you, Fool!" Kakarot struck Raditz hard on the back of his skull. He knew that he had fractured it by the cracking noise, but he knew he would live. Once he knew he was out cold, he let him fall to the ground. "Are you going to do a blood test to see if he's really my brother?"

"It hardly matters if he is, but I don't see why he would lie about it. Besides, you do favor each other. Either you're brothers or cousins. You're not feeling sentimental, are you?"

"Of course not. He wanted to force me to leave you."

"Well, you knew that wasn't going to happen!" Bulma was curious about the device on Raditz's ear and she removed it and began to study it's design. The technology was Saiyan. She knew that from studying Kakarot's spacepod. She pressed a button and heard it turn on and scanning something. When she placed it on her ear and looked at the screen, she saw some numbers written in an alien language across the screen. "Interesting. I believe this calculates a fighters power level."

"Then I guess he can't sense it like I can."

"Then that's quite a weakness for him." She removed the device and began to study it further. It only took a few more seconds to realize that it was also a communication device and that it had been on the whole entire time. "Someone is listening to this."

"He has two partners." Kakarot smiled gleefully. "Apparently, they're stronger than I am!"

"That would go under the 'bad' category, Kakarot."

"Maybe they'll come here and I'll have a new challenge. How is that a bad thing?"

"If you were to die..." Bulma rolled her eyes. 'He can be so impossible sometimes.' She placed the device back on her ear and pressed the button that she figured out to be the communicator. "Who is this?"

For a few seconds, there was only static and then silence. She waited persistently for about thirty seconds and then, she heard a gravely, deep, and even seductive voice. "This is Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans."

"You mean besides the two that I have?"

The man on the device began to laugh. "You are a cocky fool, aren't you, Woman?"

"Your partner was the fool. Kakarot defeated him with ease. And even if Raditz somehow managed to defeat Kakarot and kill him and everyone on this planet, I could have used mystical items called dragonballs and wished everyone back to life."

Kakarot cocked his brow. 'What is she up to?'

"Is that so?" Vegeta tried to still sound maniacal, but it was difficult holding back his laugh. "You truly are a fool, Woman. We will come to your planet and not only will I take Raditz and kill Kakarot for being a traitor, but I will take these dragonballs for myself."

Bulma smiled. "You can try." She removed the device and turned it off. "He's on his way to earth. It looks like you're going to have a tough fight on your hands."

Kakarot could have leaped out of his skin, he was so excited. "I'll have to work very hard of course, but I know I can beat him!"

"I know you can, Kakarot. I've seen you do amazing things all your life." She was very fond of Kakarot. He had impressed her immensely. 'That's why I want you by my side always, Kakarot.'

"But why did you tell Vegeta about the dragonballs? They've been rendered useless for years."

"Because I want new pets, Kakarot. I adore this planet, but why stop here? The entire universe should be mine to control!"

"You're right. I completely agree, Bulma. Besides, imagine all the strong fighters across the universe! I'll never run out of people to fight, victims to kill."

"We have to make sure we survive long enough to fight Prince Vegeta and his partner. Get your brother and we'll bring him to The Room."

"Yes, Ma'am." Kakarot picked up his brother and slung him over his shoulders easily enough and began to follow Bulma down deep into the lower labs of Capsule Corp until they arrived inside a dark room with a unique chair in the middle. Kakarot knew good and well what to do. It was so routine. He placed Raditz into the seat and strapped him in. There was no way to escape once he was in. Every move Raditz made would drain his energy. There was no way to block the sound once it flooded into the room and his eyelids were forced open.

"Are you planning on doing this to the other Saiyans when they arrive?" Kakarot asked.

Bulma sighed. "I know you must be dying to relate to your people, Kakarot, but I don't think people who would send babies through space to conquer weak species can be reasoned with." Bulma thought it was sick when she heard about it. It was also stupid. So many things could go wrong with sending a child. Kakarot certainly didn't turn out how they anticipated.

"I'm not being sentimental. I'm only asking." Kakarot could have cared less about Raditz and whoever else was out there. The only thing that got to him was that he had this nagging sense in his gut that he wasn't alone in the world...or rather the universe. He knew that he somehow had blood out there in the vastness of space. Now he knew that feeling was true, but he wasn't quite as satisfied as he thought he should have been. He couldn't explain it though.

Bulma smiled giddy. "I wonder if either of them will be cute. The Prince sounded quite attractive." She watched Kakarot for his reaction.

He rolled his eyes. She literally said that about everyone, even if they were odd looking. "You said that about the receptionist in East City and he was a dweeb."

"But he was a cute dweeb!" She waited for him to smile, but he was actually irritated. "Don't be so testy, Kakarot." She wrapped her arms around him. She had pleased him physically enough times for him to know that she would never abandon him. "You know you're my lover. You always will be. Don't be jealous."

"There's no reason to be jealous." He smirked and he certainly looked twisted. "I killed the dweeb and I'd kill any other man for you."

Bulma couldn't be upset about his protectiveness. She wouldn't want it any other way. "Oh, Kakarot. I adore you!"

Raditz regained his consciousness, but he was unnerved by his inability to blink. He could move his head and he saw what the room looked like. Then he spotted his captors together, practically making love to each other right there and then. "Kakarot..."

The two of them parted, seeing that he was awake. "Well, I suppose it's time to begin." Bulma patted Kakarot on the shoulder and began heading for the door and waited for her lover in the frame.

Raditz had been around enough places to have an idea what was going on, but he still couldn't accept it for himself. "What's going on?"

"You're about to be..." Kakarot tried to find the perfect word. "...reconstructed!"

Raditz was unnerved by the fact that every tiny gesture zapped the strength from his body, but he was certain that he could fight off whatever they were trying to do and escape. "For what?"

"To serve me." Bulma was very pleased with herself indeed. She had another impossibly strong fighter in her army. "In case you're thinking that such a thing won't work on you, just know that I throughly studied Kakarot's spacepod, including the brainwashing equipment that dished out his orders to destroy the planet. I'm very capable of brainwashing you Saiyans, believe me!"

Raditz looked toward his brother. It finally made perfect sense how a Saiyan born with incredible pride and strength could dare serve a human, a human woman. "How do you know she didn't do this to you?"

"That's simple." Kakarot didn't hesitate to walk over to Bulma and kiss her dainty hand. They had been comrades for years. They grew up together. There was always something dark inside of Kakarot and when Bulma's darkness was awakened, he knew he had found the perfect partner. He didn't care about politics or anything silly like that. He simply loved to fight and she created interesting toys for him to train with. Then when he was done with an impressive day full of fighting, he would climb into her bed and she would please him throughly. "She didn't need to."

Raditz didn't know his brother well enough to know if what Kakarot said was true or if he was convinced that what he was saying was true, but he had the dreaded revelation that Bulma could do exactly what she claimed. "We're Saiyans!" His words had no pull on Kakarot at all. "Don't do this! Kakarot!"

Bulma smiled and waved. "I'll see you in the morning, Slave!"

"Goodbye, Brother." Kakarot began to close the door. "I'm so glad you've decided to visit. I do hope you enjoy your stay."

"Kakarot!" Raditz watched horrified as the last bit of light began to die as his brother closed the door. "Kakarot!"

Raditz was only alone in the dark for a moment. Then, the lights came on and revealed a completely white room covered in screens. He began to pant heavily and tried desperately to escape, but he could not get free and it wasn't long before all of his energy was gone. "Kakarot!"

The screens turned on and Bulma's beautiful face appeared on every screen, circling across the entire room. "Hello, Raditz. I'm pleased you are here." She smiled. "You'll be here for a very long time."

"Vegeta," a burly bald Saiyan asked his smaller counterpart, "are we really going to earth?"

Vegeta and Nappa were supposed to take another mission for their master, Frieza, but he really wanted to kill that cocky earthling. "It should take a year, but it will be worth it."

"And we'll save Raditz?"

Vegeta scoffed. "I could care less about that weakling." He smirked. "But we will get those dragonballs and wish for immortality, right after we kill Kakarot and that woman."
