"I guess all miserable Earthlings have tails then." Raditz sneered in amusement but he notices something weird about Zen, "Huh?"

"You look familiar for some reason." Raditiz thought, "His power level is strange for reason it's almost high as Kakarot but his face and hairstyle look like Vegeta."

"Fine then, if my little brother won't join me then I'll just to borrow these brats then."

Bulma hold her son tightened to protect from the monster, which show her fear. "One more step and I'll beat you down! Stay away from them!" Goku yelled at Raditz.

Bulma hold Zen and Gohan with her arms tightly, Zen couldn't see but he heard a deep thumping sound closely followed by the sound of something hitting the sand. Goku's crying out in agony scared him further and he felt anger that Raditz hurt them too much. Zen found his mother's grip had loosened enough for him to turn his head around. Doing so, he saw Gohan was run towards his father, "Daddy!"

"There's one, now the other..." Raditz's evil eyes fell upon Zen and his mother.

The man began to approach them. Zen began to shake, "Mom..." He wailed, desperately trying to stay hidden as he clung to her mother's sleeves.

Bulma gulped, fearful of this man and his obvious strength. There would be absolutely nothing she could do. She was no fighter after all! Yet the motherly instincts told her she had to protect her baby from this man at all costs. She would not let him lay a finger on her if she could help it! Her grip stayed firm around her son as she bravely and defiantly glared back into the eyes of the evil monster before her.

Raditz smirked, amused at the foolish woman's actions, "Either you let go of him or I prize him from your dead corpse."

Zen's widen in fear, "Mom, just let me go! I don't want you to get hurt..." He exclaimed in a tremble voice and not wanting his mother to get hurt but his mother wouldn't listen and held him tightly.

The world around him just seemed to slip from underneath his feet at the sound of a terrible crack. Through the blurry visions of shapes spinning around and feeling herself falling forwards, Zen saw his mother violently fly ahead of her. Horror and dread piercing the young boy's heart and filling him with paralyzing shock and terror. His mother had let go of him and was flying backwards through the air.

The scene played in slow motion as Zen's hands and knees hit the sand he saw his mother striking the ground, spinning a couple of times before coming to a halt on the edge of the sea.

"BULMA!" Krillin's voice pierced the silence as he dashed towards the woman.

"MOM!" Zen screamed hysterically, finally finding his voice had returned. Was she dead? The urgency to see his mother was incredibly overwhelming but before he could even begin to run towards his mother.

But Raditz is in front of him, smirks evilly, "You're coming with me." Raditz walk at him but notices his scouter was reading Zen's power level has rising. Zen stare at him with anger in his eyes as he focuses his energy spreads through his hands.

"YOU SHOULDN'T HURT MY MOTHER!" Zen charged at Raditz who was holding Gohan, "LET GO OF GOHAN, YOU JERK!!" Zen yelled at him as he uses his both hands to blast at him and avoid Gohan.

The blast hit Raditz as he dropped Gohan and run towards Zen, "Zen, let's get out of here!" They notice there's no injury on Raditz whose looked shock at his attack.

"Incredible, his power level is over over 1800." Raditz stare Zen who was glaring at him and push Gohan.

"Gohan run!" Zen exclaimed and try to use another Ki blast, but he felt his stomach been punch as he cough louder.

"ZEN!" Gohan was horrified and was about to his father but caught by Raditz

"Let me go! ! Let me go!" He demanded in fits of tears, wiggling desperately to get out of his grip somehow.

Raditz seemed to be ignoring his request and turn around, "Kakarrot, I'll make a deal with you. You have one day to reconsider my offer. I will return here tomorrow and I want you to kill a hundred humans! Pile their bodies here - and don't think I won't count."

"You think Goku is capable of doing something like that?" Master Roshi cried, furious about the development and how powerless he felt.

Raditz didn't sound too bothered by this. "Either he does it or I'll kill the two brats. If he values a hundred lives over the lives of these brat then fine."

Through the floods of blurring his vision, Zen saw Gohan's father reaching out from where he lay, unable to get up for some reason and clutching his stomach. He stuttered as he spoke, still struggling to deal with the pain. "You...give me back... my son... How... dare you... hurt my friends... Give them back..."

"Do you still not understand?" Raditz cackle with laughter, "You never had a choice in this, brother. You'll be doing the Earthlings a favour anyway; once we finish off on this planet I spoke of we will repeat the process here on Earth. Tomorrow just gives one hundred of you a head-start! Until tomorrow, my foolish brother..."

The ground suddenly began to grow smaller below them as the alien levitated up into the sky, much to Zen's horror. Gohan apparently was also desperate to be free as he called out for his father. Neither could find a way to wriggle free from the man's impregnable grip.

The wind suddenly picked up, battering the two children as the man suddenly flew forwards, cackling with laughter as he left the small island which grew smaller and smaller with every passing second. The strength of the wind was terrible.

Zen felt his vision begin to grow dark, feeling rather light headed and woozy... His world faded to black.

@@@@

Zen open his eyes as he saw Gohan was pounding the door, "Gohan, where are we?" Zen asked in a low voice as Gohan turn around and run at him.

"ZEN!! You're awake!!" Gohan cried in joyedas he hugged Zen.

"Yeah, well I'm alive alright?" Zen said in a sarcastic voice as he felt the two energies' coming towards them as he storms at the door.

"Hey, Gohan is that your dad!" Zen shouted at Gohan as he got to his feet and ran towards at the window, peering through as he saw his father.

"DADDY!!!"

Goku's voice barely pierced the small room's thick walls. "Don't worry you guys... Gohan, Daddy's here to save you. Just hold on in there, both of you."

"Come on Gohan, help me to get the door open so we can get out!" Zen asked Gohan help as he nodded. They climbed onto the seat and leapt forwards feet first, kicking the door. Nothing happened as Gohan landed on his back, hitting his head against the edge of the seat. Instantly he began to ball his eyes out from the knock he'd taken.

"Are you ok?" Zen asked, kneeling down beside him, "I don't think we can break down the door..." He frowned and sighed.

The sound of cracking relatively close outside to them caught both of their attention, Gohan stopping his crying and sitting up, "... What's that sound?"

"I don't know..." Zen mumbled, worried that it could be something dangerous.

The sound seemed to go on for quite some time. Every-so-often a flash of light would attract the two children's attention and they would look out the glass to see beams of light flashing around, or see the sky change color for a couple of seconds, along hearing explosions and the continuous stream of cracks.

"What's going on out there? Why is no one letting us out of here?" Zen cried in frustration.

Another bright flash of light bolted up into the sky. Gohan had been looking at the area it had emerged from. He gasped in horror as he saw an orange figure falling from the sky, it was his dad!

"Oh no! Daddy!" He called leaning up against the door. "Daddy's been hurt!"

Once more his energy began to fluctuate unbeknownst to him and Zen, nor to anyone outside for that matter.

"... Is your daddy ok?" Zen asked out of concern.

"I don't know, I can't see him," Gohan frowned, getting teary-eyed again at how helpless he felt. "I've gotta go see my daddy but I don't know how to get out... There isn't a door handle or anything..."

The inside of their prison began to glow with a bright light from outside once more; the sky and everything around them once again changing color, the sound of strong gusts of wind rattling the pod's walls, scaring the two as they huddled together. Was the small pod about to cave in around them? What was going on outside?

They heard Goku's scream through the pod. That startling them by sending chills down their spines. The screaming won't stop as they couldn't stand the pain of the scream. Zen and Gohan couldn't take anymore as they leapt up with unbelievable force.

The energy released from his body sent a shock wave around them, pushing the defenseless "LEAVE MY DAD ALONE AHHHHH!!" Gohan charged at him by using his head to hit Raditz's stomach but he able to stand up and hit Gohan. He notices Zen charged at him with his fist, his fist punched at Saiyan's face as he falls.

"Take that you jerk, that for hitting my head." Zen felled down as he fell asleep.

@@@@

Zen opened his eyes as he was held by the green man. "Hey! Who the hell are you and where are you taken us??!!" Zen asked Piccolo as he notice Gohan was held and asleep.

"I'm the guy who's going to train you both so shut up!" Piccolo shouted at him as they flew at the sky.

"Oh man, he's going to kill us, we're so dead!" Zen mumbled his thought as his face paled as white.
