Kami's Lookout

[Earth Guardian Kami]

In the Dragon Ball series, Kami's Lookout or The Lookout, or God's Temple is an ancient platform that is in geostationary orbit in the skies of Earth, and directly above Korin Tower; for some time, Korin Tower and the Lookout were connected by the Power Pole. Events occurring on the Earth can be observed from here and can sense battles in the universe. After Kami merged with Piccolo, Dende took over, technically making it Dende's Lookout. However, it is still referred to as Kami's Lookout or simply, The Lookout.

It is located in the Heavenly Realm, and is connected to the Divine Sage Realm where the Sacred Water is located. The Divine Sage Realm is where the graves of the previous guardians of Earth are located, and is located at the bottom of the Heavenly Realm.

[Earth Guardian Kami]

After Piccolo responded to him, Kami went and stood on the side of the Lookout. He looked down at the destruction Raditz had brought to the poor unsuspecting family of farmers. It troubled him, but he knew Raditz would certainly be of assistance at this point. He turned and look toward Mr. Popo, "Let's prepare for their arrival and Mr. Popo please be careful around Raditz. He seems to have a very short fuse and I can't have my advisor dying on me." Kami said to Mr. Popo as he chuckled and continued to watch the group approach his lookout.

[Goku]

As Goku lead both Raditz and Rasha to Kami's lookout he thought of everything that transpired. He was also getting excited for some new training.

It wasn't long before he spotted the sky platform and he went higher up in the sky leading the others up. It wasn't long before they passed the edge and he landed on the platform and waited for Rasha and Raditz to land so they could go meet Kami.

[Rasha]

Rasha listened to what kakarot said to Raditz. She didn't say anything. She was then watching Piccolo as he took Gohan . She wanted to scrutinize the decision but decided to let it be.

When she saw Kakarot leave she took off to follow him. She stayed close at his side as she also watched Raditz as he followed.

When they arrived at the location she landed next to him and looked around quietly as they waited for Raditz.

[Raditz]

Raditz followed closely behind Kakarot and Rasha. As he watched them fly he noticed how closely Rasha was keeping to their baby brother. Raditz didn't care for this as it reminded him too much of the coddling from their mother. Rasha may currently be the strongest of the 3 of them, but Raditz could already tell she didn't have the warrior's Instinct. Her time away from the saiyans had made her soft and she was taking her task of protecting Kakarot to the extreme. Raditz worried it could mean putting herself at unnecessary risk. Kakarot would never be allowed to grow that way.

Raditz continued to stay back as he followed Kakarot to this special place. His arms were crossed over his chest the entire time as he was lost in thought about how today had gone. It was suppose to be a simple mission. Check in on his younger brother Kakarot to see if he was still alive and if so, bring him back into the ranks. Then things went wonky when he arrived and realized that not only was Kakarot alive, but instead of completing his task of clearing this planet and instead choosing to integrate and breed with the native creatures.

Then there was a matter of the green man who clearly is not native to this planet and these Dragon Balls that grant wishes. Raditz had no idea what he was getting into when he got into his pod and left Vegeta and Nappa for Earth. Even his sister was alive. She'd changed some over the years; gotten older, but Raditz didn't care. Rasha was still the same spoiled brat who always seemed to get her way just because she was older. If this training is was as good as advertised, Raditz was going to make sure he surpassed her, Nappa, and Prince Vegeta. Raditz was no longer going to be called the Runt.

Raditz snapped back to reality when he noticed he'd fallen a bit more behind than he intended. He saw Kakarot and Rasha both fly towards some form of floating structure that from below reminded him of a giant bowl. However it was flat square tiles coving it with a single building pushed to one edge surrounded by smaller towers and trees. There was almost a path of these trees that seemed to outline a walkway from the entrance of this temple structure to a latter on the opposite side of this floating structure that curved down the side to the bottom of the bowl.

Raditz popped his ki as he rapidly sped up to reach the Lookout and landing soon after Kakarot and Rasha. His boots made an audible compression sound as he landed on the tiles. "Alright we are here, now where is this Kami who is suppose to take us to this trainer."

[Goku]

Goku waited for both Rasha and Raditz to join him and once Raditz landed he said, "Follow me..." He said as he lead the way to where Kami and Mr Popo stood.

[Earth Guardian Kami]

Kami stood in the middle of the Lookout as Goku, Rasha and Raditz approached. Kami looked back at Popo and gave a nod. He then approached Goku with his hand outstretched. "It's good to see you Goku. Thank you for coming and bring the other two with you. I'm glad Piccolo still has his senses when it comes to situations like this." Kami said as he shook Goku's hand. He then towards Rasha and Raditz.

"Greetings my name is Kami, the Guardian of Earth, and welcome to my Lookout. The one behind me is Mr. Popo, my aide." Kami said as he gesture to the man behind him. Mr. Popo bowed to show respect to his visitors. Kami looked back to the three saiyans who stood before him. He looked to Goku, the man who had saved his life and Earth twice already. He looked to Rasha and smiled at the young woman who stood before him. He did not know much about her, but he could tell she had a kind heart. He then looked to Raditz. A brutal saiyan who killed a family just to cure his boredom. Kami grimaced and began to speak once more..

"I do believe some introductions are in order." He then waited for Rasha and Raditz to introduce themselves. It was customary to do so in his presence.

[Raditz]

Raditz looked around the Lookout as he followed behind Kakarot to where Kami and Mr Popo were waiting for them. Raditz stood behind the other two as he sized up the two residents. The older looking one definitely was the same species as Piccolo. He walked with a cane and Raditz could tell even without his scouter that this one was well past his prime.

Raditz was only half listening to Kami's introduction. His mind and attention was drawn to the small one they called Mr. Popo. Something about this black skinned creature was unnerving. Even as he bowed when introduced he didn't seem to bink. His face was empty like a void, expressionless; but it was those eyes that creeped him out most of all.

Raditz was almost hypnotized as he walked past Kakarot, Rasha, and even Kami to look down at the one they called Mr. Popo. "Don't tell me, you are the great trainer we were told about? Hey, I'm talking to you little man. Do you even have eyelids? Blink already!" Raditz was definitely unnerved as he taunted.

[Earth Guardian Kami]

Raditz was almost hypnotized as he walked past Kakarot, Rasha, and even Kami to look down at the one they called Mr. Popo. "Don't tell me, you are the great trainer we were told about? Hey, I'm talking to you little man. Do you even have eyelids? Blink already!" Raditz was definitely unnerved as he taunted.

Kami was shocked at the fact that Raditz spoke to Mr. Popo in such a manner. He knew this would not sit well with him. If there was anything Mr. Popo hated it was undisciplined creatures. "I'd watch how you speak to Mr. Popo, unless you wish to learn the pecking order of the lookout. This may be my Lookout, but it is Mr. Popo he tends to it and keeps things in order."

Kami watched as Mr. Popo approached Raditz with that sadistic look in his eyes and that maniacal smile. Mr. Popo stood and looked up to Raditz and spoke, "Well would you look at that, a maggot who doesn't know how to address his betters."Mr. Popo reached up and smacked Raditz. The force of the hit being strong enough to make Raditz ears ring and launch him to the edge of the lookout. "Alright maggot listen up, Popo is about to teach you the pecking order. It goes you, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, Popo's stool, Kami and then Popo. Any questions or do I need to remind you who's lookout your on?"

[Raditz]

Raditz stood tall as Mr Popo approached him. Even choosing to ignore Kami's warning. "Oh what little man, did I offend you some how? What, you got something to say to me!?" Raditz scoffed until he heard Me Popo speak to him, "What did you just call me you little punk! I'll teach you who is better!" Raditz started to charge his Saturday Crush ability as he raised his right hand onto the air and a pink sphere of ki started to form in his palm. There was no way he was going to miss at this range. "Take THIS! SATURDAY CRU-"

Raditz was cut off as he felt a sudden sharp pain that seemed to radiate throughout his body followed by an intense ringing in his ears as the small man's hand cleaved across his face and sent him spiralling towards the edge of the lookout. Raditz only slowed down as his body skipped across the tiles like a stone tossed over the waters edge. Raditz had to take several moments to figure out which way was up as he tried to get back on his feet; failing several times as his balance was thrown way off.

When Raditz finally managed to right himself and stand on his own two feet his tail flared behind him as his ki worked it's way out of every pore on his body. "YOU!! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT LITTLE MAN!!!" Raditz rubbed his face where he was smacked before leaping into the air and shooting towards Mr. Popo.

[Rasha]

Rasha stood near Kakarot and watched Raditz as he looked at Mr Popo. She soon cringed as she heard his sarcasm come into play and it wasn't long before she watched him get bitch slapped across the platform. She gave a chuckle and said to kakarot, "I don't think he has been around many deities...this should be entertaining..."

[Mr. Popo]

As Raditz charged at Mr. Popo, he stood waiting for him and just as he was about to make contact, Mr. Popo vanished and landed on top of Raditz back. Popo smiled and said, "You'll have to try hard then that maggot." Popo then leapt off Raditz back and crashed into him with a dive kick. As soon as Popo made contact he switched to a sideways axe kick and sent Raditz into the side of the Lookout.

"Well would you look at that I guess you could say I crashed his Saturday." Popo said as he watched Raditz lift himself off the ground. Popo then rushed him again and landed a devastating kick into Raditz solar plexes and launch him to the sky. Raditz seemed to recover quickly as he stopped himself mid-air. He heard Raditz shout down, "That's it black man, I'm tired of this game and I'm going to end you!!!" Raditz seemed to be charging a large amount of ki and planned to launch what seemed to be a full power blast. Popo continued to smile as he waited for the attack to be launched. Raditz yelled out, "Here take my Saturday Crush!!!!" Raditz launched a large pink ki blast down to Popo. As the blast approached, Popo opened his mouth and began to suck in the air around him including the blast. Popo had devoured one of Raditz' strongest blast without a second thought. Popo watched as Raditz confidence began to wane.

Mr. Popo continued to smile maniacal as he quickly shot behind Raditz in the air and knocked him to the ground using his Bōjutsuto. After Raditz impacted back on the ground, Popo let go of his flight and smacked his Bōjutsu directly on top of Raditz head. Popo then looked to Rasha and Goku as he proceeded to grab the saiyan by the tail and drag him into the lookout.

"Come along maggots, we're going to put this one in time out. Kami I hope you don't mind waiting an hour or two." Mr. Popo continued to drag Raditz to a small door on the back side of the Lookout. Mr. Popo then opened the door and threw Raditz inside. He walked in behind Raditz as he skid across the ground. "Listen up maggot your going to be locked in this room for two hours. If the room doesn't cause you to go insane I'll let you back out. If you ever decided to act like that again I will send you to a more terrible place." Mr. Popo began to leave and as he did he called back to Raditz, "Welcome to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber... Don't die... BYE!!!!" Mr. Popo closed the door behind him and looked to the others, "So... who wants to get something to eat?"

[Goku]

Goku watched what was happening and he saw how rough Mr. Popo was being to Raditz. He remained silent until he saw what he intended on doing and when he saw Mr. Popo put Raditz into the Hyperbolic time chamber he said, "Oh man...I guess we will see how tough he really is...I wasn't able to handle it for long when I was first put in there..."

[Rasha]

Rasha was standing fascinated by everything going on. She was studying Kami and Mr. Popo and she could tell Mr. Popo was a deity of some kind but she wasn't sure what kind, though she could see he was pretty strong and when she watched him man handle Raditz like he was nothing, even though Raditz stood a good two feet taller than Mr. Popo she decided not to do anything to anger this one. Then she saw him grab Raditz by the tail and drag him to a door and toss him inside and she twitched as she knew how sensitive his tail was and it made her tail twitch and show itself out from under her sash belt.

"Ahh man he is gonna feel that for a bit..." she said then said, "What is that room you just put him into?...and sorry My name is Rasha...and that one you tossed in that room is my twin brother Raditz and Kakarot here is our baby brother..." She said as she looked at Mr. Popo.

Mr. Popo looked away from the door towards Goku, Kami and Rasha. "Well this is a nice turn of events. Hello young Rasha, its good to meet you. I'm happy to see that not all saiyans are disrespectful towards those who are being gracious hosts." He looked back toward the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. And gestured towards the door. "This room is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A room where Time passes much faster then our world, almost 365 times as fast. In Goku speak one day out here means one year in there." Popo then turned and began to walk towards the kitchen. He knew Goku would be hungry and so would the girl Rasha. "You two wait here I'll make you a good meal."

[Rasha]

Mr. Popo looked away from the door towards Goku, Kami and Rasha. "Well this is a nice turn of events. Hello young Rasha, its good to meet you. I'm happy to see that not all saiyans are disrespectful towards those who are being gracious hosts." He looked back toward the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. And gestured towards the door.

Popo then turned and began to walk towards the kitchen. He knew Goku would be hungry and so would the girl Rasha. "You two wait here I'll make you a good meal."

Rasha looked at Mr. Popo and listened to what he said and she said, "I have had my fair share of being around special beings so I have learned how to be respectful." She said and gave him a smile.

She then looked back towards the chamber door a moment the watched as Mr Popo walked off to go fix food. She then looked at Kakarot and she said, "I'm sorry Raditz was being such a jerk...he was that way too when we were younger..." She said then paused a moment then said as she looked at how well kakarot had grown into a well fit young man and she said, "You know I came to Earth back when you were still pretty young...it was very nice to see you happy, but I didn't want to make your youth feel ruined by our miserable history so I left you alone to grow up on your own...I do think now you may benefit by our history but history can also be irrelevant at times if you have no memories to hold onto." She said as she looked at him.

[Goku]

She said as she looked at him.

Goku looked at Rasha and he listened to her talk and he said, "You were around other special beings?...what kind of beings??"

"Yeah my memories are a bit foggy from when I was real young...I wish I knew more but I don't...I just can't remember past a certain time. " He said then caught a wiff of some good food and his stomach began to grumble. He then said, "How about we go check out what Mr. Popo has cooking...it smells real good and im starving."

[Rasha]

Rasha gave a smile and said, "Yeah I have." She wouldn't indulge any further. Instead she glanced back at the door and wondered if this bit of a punishment would make Raditz get some sense. she then looked back at Kakarot and she said, "Food sounds like a splendid idea." and she followed him to Mr. Popo's eating area.

[Mr. Popo]

Rasha gave a smile and said, "Yeah I have." She wouldn't indulge any further. Instead she glanced back at the door and wondered if this bit of a punishment would make Raditz get some sense. she then looked back at Kakarot and she said, "Food sounds like a splendid idea." and she followed him to Mr. Popo's eating area.

Mr. Popo began to cook a massive feast, enough feed three Goku's. He looked at Goku and Rasha as they enter the dining area and smiled, "I'm making enough food to feed three Goku's so there is enough to feed all three of you including Raditz. If he has changed his attitude he can eat if not you two can eat it then." Popo returned to cooking the meal and listen to Goku and Rasha's idle chatting.

[Raditz]

Poor Raditz didn't know what to do. Everytime he tried to attack this creature he seemed to be one step behind. He had tried every tactic he could but to no avail. He was utterly beaten by a lesser being. If adding insult to injury he quite literally ate one of if not his most powerful attack like it was a mid-day lunch. If Raditz didn't feel humiliated enough he felt the conk to his head by an unusually large stick not once but twice. Raditz then felt the all to recently familiar sensation of his tail being grabbed and pulled.

Raditz lost all strength in his body as his tail was grabbed once again within the last 24 hours as he was dragged from outside the lookout into a special room and locked inside. Was he inside? When Mr Popo released him Raditz quickly regained his strength and climbed back to his feet. "I'm not the one who's going to die little man, you are." Raditz charged at Mr Popo only to be met by the closed door hitting him in the face. As one could expect this did not go over well with the saiyan as he first tried to open the door from his end only to find it securely locked.

Raditz stepped back and realized he wasn't inside a room. "What is going on here?" Raditz gave up on the door for now. The little man said something about two hours. He could outlast this strange punishment. Two hours was nothing for him, he endured longer at the hands of both Nappa and Vegeta. Raditz walked away from the door to this chamber only to appear outside. At least he thought he was outside. What he was looking at confused him. His surroundings looked like the lookout but there didn't seem to be an edge.

Raditz flew into the air to get a better idea of what was, or wasn't going on around him. "What is going on here, where am I?" As he turned in circles all he saw was the small building and then nothing. Just an empty white void. There were no other buildings, no apparent sky, no edges. He flew in every direction even straight up and it was the same. Absolutely nothing.

Mr Popo's two hours was almost up, confident he'd beaten the little man at his own game Raditz returned to the only structure in this weird place and stood by the door. He started to channel his ki into both of his hands and awaited the subtle yet unmistakeable sound of the door unlocking. When the little black man opened the door to check on him Raditz was going to have a special surprise for him.

Raditz grined as the seconds ticked down to when the door would open. He began to laugh to himself as the seconds turned into minutes. The door was going to open any second and he'd get his revenge. Any second now... Any second... Suddenly Raditz realized something was wrong. The door wasn't opening. Was he being punked?

Raditz realized that he was being duped again after another couple hours had past and still the door was locked and did not open. It did make sense as Raditz tried the door again and still it refused to open under his own physical power. This Mr Popo had no intention of letting him out. This was a waste of time they didn't have. Vegeta and Nappa were on their way here... Raditz's eyes opened wide at the revelation he just had. Kakarot and Rasha had no intention of letting him train with this Master. They were going to get this training without him...

Raditz was pissed at the thought of both of his siblings getting stronger without him. He was not going to be the weakest member of his race, there is no way he would be Raditz the Runt do the rest of his life. Raditz was getting out of this void even if he had to blow his way out. Raditz's eyes opened wide as he couldn't believe how stupid he was. It was just a door, he was a saiyan warrior!

Raditz turned to face the door as his eyes narrowed as his ki exploded from his body, "If you are not going to let me out then I will blow myself out of here!!" Raditz's body started to surge with ki that began to crackle with electricity. Raditz focused his ki through his body as it surged, "I am Raditz! A Saiyan Warrior!" Raditz's ki flowed through his body down both of his arms and radiated from both of his hands in the form of large orbs. "I am getting out of here! DOUBLE SUNDAY!!"

Raditz swung both of his hands forward and locked in on the door to his apparent prison and fired. As expected the door was nothing to his attack as it vaporized almost instantly as his twin beams of ki ripped through it and out the back of the building only to keep going into the white void behind it. Raditz halted his attack as he realized something was not right. He looked through the hole where the door once was and could see behind it. The only apparent exit to this prison no longer existed. He had just trapped himself and didn't know what to do....

[Goku]

Goku led the way to the eating area Mr. Popo prepared for them. As they walked into the room he saw the spread and the both of them went to the table and sat down to eat. Goku then heard what Mr. Popo said and he said, "We will see how well he is when he comes out of there...I remember my first time in there." He then gave a bit of a shudder at the memory then gave a bit of a chuckle.

He then looked at Rasha and as he did he said, "So what was your relationship like with Raditz growing up?...He seems like a bit of a bully..."

[Rasha]

He then looked at Rasha and as he did he said, "So what was your relationship like with Raditz growing up?...He seems like a bit of a bully..."

Rasha sat down across from her brother and as she did she grabbed some food. She then heard what he said and she gave a bit of a chuckle and said, "Yeah...he was a bit of a bully...but that was mostly him being tough to stand up next to the prince...though he did you to think I was a bully to him because I liked to pick on him because I was older than him...though I guess now he will be older than me after coming out of that thing." She gave a chuckle then she got a bit of a worried look then said, "I am kind of worried though...he did say that both Prince Vegeta and his companion Nappa would be coming looking for him...i'm not sure how much those two have changed but the last time I saw Nappa in action he was pretty strong...I have no clue how the prince has evolved..."

Rasha then looked at Mr Popo and she said, "Excuse me sir?...I was wondering how much longer you will be keeping him in there?..."

[Mr. Popo]

Rasha then looked at Mr Popo and she said, "Excuse me sir?...I was wondering how much longer you will be keeping him in there?..."

Mr. Popo began to bring the food to the two saiyans and looked to Rasha, "He has about 30 minutes left, but we do have an issue," Popo turned and looked towards Kami, "I'm sure you sensed it as well Kami. He has destroyed the door that connects that realm to ours." Popo stood and went over to a small replica of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and began to meditate.

As he meditated the replica began to glow. He said to the three, "It'll take me about thirty minutes to repair the door, before we can let him out. Please be patient and we can release him soon." Popo returned to his meditation as the replica began to shine more brilliantly.

[Goku]

Goku was happily eating and listening to to Rasha talk. He then heard what happened to the Hyperbolic chamber door and he paused a moment then said, "Oh boy...I bet he is loosing his mind about now in there if he destroyed that door..." He then stuffed some more food in his mouth.

[Rasha]

Rasha gave a nod then focused back on eating and for the next twenty minutes or so the both of them ate without talking. She then noticed how much they ate and said, "Oh gee we better save some for Raditz...I bet he is gonna be super hungry when he comes out..." She said as she stopped eating.

[Goku]

When Goku heard Rasha speak about the food they ate he looked at the table and noticed how much they ate and he gave a guilty laugh and said, "Oops...I sometimes forget about my appetite." He then pulled away and was about to get up when he noticed Rasha giving him a angry look. He then said "what??..."

"We can be a bit respectful and help clean up this mess...you know it's a good idea to always treat dieties with respect...they could save your life one day." She said and got up and began piling up their plates to carry to the kitchen.

[Earth Guardian Kami]

"We can be a bit respectful and help clean up this mess...you know it's a good idea to always treat dieties with respect...they could save your life one day." She said and got up and began piling up their plates to carry to the kitchen.

Kami couldn't help, but smile and give off a slight chuckle, "Are you sure your related to Goku? I've watched over him for awhile and he has never once offered to do dishes. Thank you Rasha, with your assistance it will make Mr. Popo's job a little easier." Kami turned and began to head towards the the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and awaited for the others to join.

[Mr. Popo]

Thank you Rasha, with your assistance it will make Mr. Popo's job a little easier." Kami turned and began to head towards the the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and awaited for the others to join.

Mr. Popo was tired from his meditation. It took a lot out of him when it came to repairing the dimensional link for the Time Chamber. As the final minutes of Raditz punishment came to an end he had finally repaired the damage cause by Raditz. As he stood up he heard the conversation between Rasha and Kami. "What Kami said is true," he stated, "Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Now if you all follow me, I believe it's time we let your brother out of his punishment."

Mr. Popo began to walk with Kami towards the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He knew things could go two ways with Raditz. Either he would be mentally crushed by the experience, or he would be waiting and ready for another fight. Mr. Popo was hoping for the latter, but if he had to remind Raditz of the pecking order, he didn't mind. A sadistic smile creeped across Mr. Popo's face as he though about hitting Raditz on the head with his Bōjutsuto. He approached the door as he waited for the other two to arrive.

Rasha looked at Kami and chuckled and said, "I take after our mother." She then gave a smile

Rasha heard Mr. Popo and she put down the plates and followed him with Kakarot following close behind as he led the way to the Chamber door. She then waited for him to open that door.

[Mr. Popo]

As everyone gathered at the door, Mr. Popo looked at them all,"Now depending on his mental state, we may have to knock him back into reality. After all he has been in there for a little over a month." Popo looked to Rasha and Goku, "If he has truly snapped, I will need your assistance in subduing him."

Mr. Popo turned back around and released the lock on the door. The resounded down the halls of the lookout. It was the final step of returning the connection to normal. Mr. Popo reached forward and grabbed the door handle. He slowly began to open the door and as he did you heard the loud creaking of the door hinges. As Mr. Popo opened the door wide he yelled into the chamber within, "Alright maggot!!! Times up!!! You are now free to leave!!!"

[Raditz]

Raditz had long since lost track of how long he'd been trapped in this white void when the sound of the door unlocking and Mr Popo calling out.

It took Raditz several hours before he noticed there was a clock, but it appeared broken as it rarely moved. It felt like days then weeks had gone by when Raditz succumb to his fate of never escaping the void. He wondered what became of Kakarot and Rasha, had they truly abandoned him? They had to have left for their own training.

Then there was the problem of Vegeta and Nappa, how long had he been trapped in here? Had Vegeta and Nappa made it to Earth by now. Have they killed Rasha and Kakarot? What of little Gohan. Will Vegeta take him as a replacement for himself. Raditz knew the type of upbringing Gohan would get. The same he got from them ever since his father was killed by Frieza so many years ago.

Raditz's father, Bardock; he wouldn't simply give up. Raditz could hear his father's words echoing within the void. He would fight to escape. There had to be another way out of this prison. Raditz had started to explore what little of the structure was available. It was how he stumbled onto a tiny kitchen. There wasn't much to eat but it did keep him alive for the duration...

The sound of the door unlocking and opening echoed throughout the void as Raditz blitzed toward the sound. He couldn't believe it, somehow the door was back and opened giving him his escape. When did it reappear? He couldn't believe his luck. Raditz literally dropped to his knees and crawled through the doorway and collapsed on the other side.

Raditz's armor was in tatters and he looked like he'd been through hell. From a certain point of view he had. The weather was chaotic, Raditz had never experienced such changes in a seemingly rapid fluctuations in any planet he ever conquered. There was nothing like the prison he was finally freed from.

Rasha was standing near Mr Popo when he unlocked the door and she saw Raditz crawl out defeated. She walked over to where he collapsed and she knelt down and put her hand on his shoulder and she said,

"Are you done trying to be tough?...if there is one piece of advice I can give. It's never challenge deities...it usually ends bad..." She then held out her hand and said, "Here...let me help you up..." and as she went to help him up she got visions of his troubling youth while he was with the prince and Nappa and this made her pause a moment and her anger flared only for a moment at the thought of him being bullied so bad.

[Goku]

Goku followed both Rasha and Mr Popo as they went to the hyperbolic chamber door and he stood watching as Mr Popo opened the door. He then watched as Raditz came crawling out and he watched as Rasha went over to him and helped him out. He could only remember what Raditz done and he was still unsure he could change but somehow Rasha believes he can and so he watched silently as she helped him.

[Raditz]

Raditz looked up at his sister from his position laying on the ground. Was he done being tough, no he was a saiyan warrior, one of the last remaining within the universe. Raditz slapped away Rasha's hand as he got to his knees and then his feet. "What makes you think that I needed your help? You let that thing leave me in there for weeks while you and Kakarot just sat out here waisting valuable time before Vegeta and Nappa arrive!" Raditz tried to dust himself off, though most of his original armor was trashed from the wear and tear of his stay in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He definitely wasn't presentable in any sense of the word.

Even seemingly defeated Raditz had his saiyan pride and it was radiating as strong as the smell. Raditz spent the majority of his time trying to find a way out or avoiding the many unnatural disasters that plagued him to bathe. Raditz was too busy to notice while in the chamber could even smell it himself.

Rasha had hoped he would show some appreciation but when he smacked her hand aside she got mad at him and said, "You still can't see when someone wants to help you!...you're an idiot!!...what did Prince Vegeta and that creep Nappa do to you to??..." She then stood up and backed up a step as he stood up then she said, " Also for your information you were only in there for for about two hours...give or take!! So time was not wasted...so get off your damnable Saiyan pride bout and start listening for a moment." Rasha said as she looked at her stubborn brother.

Rasha then shook her head in disappointment and she said, "If we are to get through these troubles that are coming we need to work together and if you can't learn to show these dieties respect it could cost us more than just a bad day...or I can just let you have round two with Mr Popo and he can make you see the error of your ways..."

Rasha held her ground but as she did she got a good whiff of Raditz body odor and almost gagged. She then said, "Ugh...go take a bath you stink..."

[Raditz]

Raditz looked at his sister coldly as she tried to belittle him after what he just went through. Did she really expect him to believe he'd only been in there for just two hours? There was no way. "You lie! That's not possible! I waited hours for the door to be unlocked, then it vanished when I tried to escape. You may think so little of me Rasha, but save it. I know how long I was in that place and it was days if not weeks of isolation. I've traveled light-years alone in my pod traveling to and from planet to planet. I know how long two hours is."

Raditz suddenly noticed his own stink when Rasha mentioned needing a bath. "Well you will have to excuse me brat. I didn't have time to wash when I was trying to escape with my life. That room, or whatever it is, was a hell unlike any planet I have ever been on! So why don't you shove it." Raditz suddenly had a wicked idea, "Maybe you need to spend so called 2 hours in there and tell me I'm wrong."

[Earth Guardian Kami]

Raditz looked at his sister coldly as she tried to belittle him after what he just went through. Did she really expect him to believe he'd only been in there for just two hours? There was no way. "You lie! That's not possible! I waited hours for the door to be unlocked, then it vanished when I tried to escape. You may think so little of me Rasha, but save it.

Raditz suddenly had a wicked idea, "Maybe you need to spend so called 2 hours in there and tell me I'm wrong."

Kami was listening in on the sibling squabble and noticed how Raditz felt. He had to agree though with both Rasha and Raditz, but it also seemed Raditz needed information on what he had just dealt with. Kami approached Raditz and Rasha, holding out his hand to calm them with a minor spell he uses for Mr. Popo when he becomes, unhinged.

As he approached he said, "I see we have a lot to deal with. First and foremost I need you both to stop your arguing and listen to each other. Your family and this hatred and disdain towards each other will never allow you to heal." He paused and looked to Rasha.

He approached her and looked to her with a soft smile, and then a stern look, "You can not expect him to change in one day, Rasha." He said to her with a firm tone, "He has suffered many hardships and tribulations while working with Vegeta and Nappa. Ever since the destruction of your world, he has been brutalized almost everyday by Nappa." He looked to Raditz and then back to Rasha. "It was never due to his lack in ability or pride. There seemed to be more devious motives when these moments occurred. Nappa had a sense of twisted satisfaction from it as if he was doing something he shouldn't have done, but knew no consequences would come from his actions." He patted Rasha on her shoulder and turned towards Raditz.

As he approached Raditz he saw the recoil of distrust. Kami knew Raditz was untrusting of everyone here and felt abandoned once more. Kami knew this feeling all to well. As he approached he looked to Raditz and said, "You are strong Raditz, but for you to attain the strength you poses you had to leave a few important things behind. Pride is a very powerful tool and a great way to hone your skills, but it has its draw backs. I applaud rugged individualism, self-reliance and personal excellence, but too much pride can easily tip the balance toward vanity, haughtiness and self-love. You need to realize your family is not trying to hurt you. They are not trying to change you in anyway. They are trying to remind you that not everything can be defeated by raw power alone." He then stepped away and stood between them and looked to both of them.

"There is something your father said before sending Goku and Rasha towards this planet. The only reason I know this is due to Rasha's incredible psychic abilities. She has buried many memories due to the hardship they brought her, but this memory was just forgotten. He said to your mother, "Maybe it's because I'm constantly fighting, destroying, that I'd actually like to save something for once. Especially someone who is judged to be a lower-class warrior... like my Kakarot and all my children.", he paused and looked to both of them and then to Raditz. "Your father was a proud warrior, but he also had something most saiyans didn't have. Your father knew what it meant to cherish his family and love the time he had with all of you."

Kami turned and began to walk towards his advisor and as he did he said to Raditz and Rasha, "It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach." He continued forwards and stopped at Mr. Popo's side. "Now Mr. Popo, please explain to Raditz what exactly happens in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Kami then waited for Mr. Popo to educate Raditz on the chamber.

[Mr. Popo]

Kami turned and began to walk towards his advisor and as he did he said to Raditz and Rasha, "It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach." He continued forwards and stopped at Mr. Popo's side. "Now Mr. Popo, please explain to Raditz what exactly happens in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Kami then waited for Mr. Popo to educate Raditz on the chamber.

Mr. Popo listened to Kami as he tried to quell the unruly display of hate and rage between the twins. He then heard what Kami had requested and bowed as he walked forward. He decided he was going to try something different with Raditz after listening to Kami.

As he approached Raditz and lifted his hand. He began to use some of his magical abilities to clean Raditz as he approached. You could call it a dry shower. As he approached and Raditz seemed to be fully clean he looked up to him and smiled, not his maniacal smile, just a genuine smile. "Now listen closely Raditz. The room you were in is known as the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a place where one can train and get stronger in a short amount of time. There are a number of conditions that make the Time Chamber a perfect place to gain strength quickly." He paused and watched as Raditz began to listen intensly on the information he was receiving, whether it be due to fear or curiosity, it was nice to see him listening.

Mr. Popo continued, "To begin with, the flow of time within the Chamber is compressed. One day of real world time is equivalent to one year inside the Chamber, or one minute of real time is approximately six hours, five minutes, and 15 seconds in the Chamber. So the two hours we had spent out here felt like a month to you in there."

Mr. Popo stepped back a step and began to use his Materialization bean on Raditz as he did, Raditz had received new armor with slight modifications made by Mr. Popo. "There, I do hope these are to your liking, now come we have some food waiting in the dining room for you." Raditz armor appeared the same, but he had been given incredibly comfortable and durable pants to cover his legs.

[Raditz]

Raditz took a step back when Kami approached him and Rasha. His body grew tense as the green one first began preaching to Rasha and then turned his words on him. Raditz scoffed at the older green man's words. How could he possibly know this information. What was he some kind of guru? Leave a few things behind? Raditz wondered what those could possibly be. His Saiyan Pride has served him well the last 20 years, kept him alive even through the beatings Nappa would provide. Kami was right, he wasn't going to just give that up overnight.

Raditz stood there as Kami continued to prattle on. Raditz's eyes never left the old man as he slowly moved between Rasha and himself. It was when Kami started talking about Raditz's father; Bardock, that Raditz really had to question the sanity. There was no way his father would ever say anything of that nature. Bardock was a real Saiyan. Family was always second to the mission. It was the Saiyan way. If it weren't he would have spent more time at home.

Raditz's gaze continued to follow Kami as he made his rounds walking over to Mr Popo. Raditz had almost forgotten about the little black man with the funny clothes. The empty stair and freaky smile seemed to unnerve Raditz in ways Nappa or Vegeta never could.

When Mr Popo started towards him Raditz freaked out, "Oh hell no! You stay away from me Little man! I'm warning you!" Raditz almost without thinking lept out of his skin and behind Rasha. "I want no more of your tricks." Raditz recoiled as Mr. Popo got closer to him and seemed to cast some sort of spell that seemed to clean him. His smell was gone at least as was a majority of the dirt he'd collected. Rasha was sure to appreciate that as Raditz was currently hiding behind her. His armor however was in less than desirable shape.

Mr Popo started explaining what had happened to him and the effects of the time chamber but Raditz was a bit distracted. Somehow Mr Popo's genuine smile seemed to make Raditz even more uncomfortable. Still he was transfixed on what the short man was saying. So he did spend a whole month in that place. This knowledge brought a genuine smile to his face. Raditz looked over at his sister... "Guess technically that makes me older now doesn't it Rasha."

Raditz was a bit distracted as he was gloating about somehow now being the older twin he didn't notice Popo had taken a step back and fired some strange attack at him. Raditz tensed up as ever muscle in his body contracted and locked him on place. The sensation only lasted a second or two but it was definitely noticable by the older Saiyan. "Hey what do you think you are doing Black man!" Raditz looked down at himself as Mr Popo explained about Raditz's now pristine armor and the prospect of food. "I guess I could eat something before we depart." Raditz responded. Looking over at Mr Popo he added under his breath, "Thank you."
