Chapter 30
It has been a few week since Raizen defeated Darkseid and told the Justice League and The Team about his past. Believing that everyone would look at him differently, his hopes were up when everyone accepted him as the person he is and his path of redemption. And at that moment, he vowed to protect everything he cherished. Eventually, word got out about Darkseid's defeat and the news about Darkseid's death spread among Earth and the galaxy. New Genesis praised Raizen for his victory and recorded his name in their Achieves to remember his name. This was a great honor for Raizen. But, despite all this, Raizen had a long way to go for his path of redemption. And being the last of the Saiyan, Raizen will make things right and set the path of the Saiyans in the right direction. It will be a tough journey, but Raizen can do it. But…unknown to him, all of that will change.
Somewhere in India…
In a small village, people were running for their lives. Outside the town, there were three giant robots making their way to the town. One of them was a big pink one, the other was a medium green one and the last one was a small blue one. And in each of the robot was a person controlling them. In the pink one, it was a woman with long dark violent hair, blue eye and pale skin. She was wearing a long dark green coat buttoned up with white circles with a red star on the shoulders, light green pants and brown boots. This woman was named Mai.
In the green robot, it's pilot was a small humanoid dog that was around 3 feet tall who had light brown fur and was wearing a purple ninja outfit that covered it's body except it's face, hands and it's tail were sticking out. It also had a katanna sword with it. This dog person was named Shu.
The last person, who was piloting the blue robot, was a small light blue elf, around the same size as Shu, with pointy ears. He was wearing a top hat with red/blue strips with a white circle with a red star on it, a dark green shirt and pants with a black vest coat over his clothes with a white circle with a Chinese letter that means 'ruler' on it, and yellow elf shoes. This little elf was named Emperor Pilaf.
As the three robot stopped, Pilaf grabbed his speakers and said "Alright everyone! Everyone move out of the way while we come what we look for!"
While the people were running in fear, Shu controlled his robot, raised it's arm and unleashed blasts of fire at the houses! As houses were burning one by one, Pilaf said "I warned them! Mai, go find it!"
"Yes, sir!" Mai said as she controlled her robot to look around.
Searching through every house, Mai looked and looked until she approached the grand hall and burst through the doors. Seeing her scanners, Mai knew she was close. After looking around, Mai looks in the far off room and found a small black box. Smiling at her success, Mai walks up to it and takes the box. After she takes it, she walks outside and reunites with Pilaf and Shu. She showed them the box and said "My lord, I have it."
Pilaf looks at her and said "Excellent. Now…destroy this town."
As Shu and Mai looked at each other in a worried look, Shu looks at Pilaf and said "But sir, we have it. We don't need to destroy this town."
Pilaf huffed and said "We don't need to worry, once I have what I need, then we can…"
All of a sudden, a fast blur rushed towards Mai's robot and took the box from her. Surprised, Mai looks down, sees the box missing and cried "W-What?! Where is the box?!"
As everyone looked around, a voice said "Looking for something?"
When they all turned, they saw Raizen standing on one of the buildings tossing the box in the air. He gave them a teasing look and said "Lose something?"
In rage, Pilaf said "Give that back!"
Raizen laughed and said "Make me."
Pilaf cried "Get him!"
In response, both Mai and Shu raised their arms and Shu fired fire while Mai fired bullets at Raizen. Smirking, Raizen moved with ease to dodge the attacks. Smirking, Raizen moved in fast speed and started knock Mai and Shu away. Once they were out of the way, Raizen turns to Pilaf and said "I didn't know they allowed aliens to ride robots."
Pilaf's face turned red and said "I am not an alien!"
He then raised his robot arms and fired energy blasts at Raizen. Huffing, Raizen just stood there and took the blasts head on. As he stood there, Raizen laughed and said "Really? Is that the best you got?"
In fear, Pilaf said "Mai, Shu! Assemble!"
Nodding in agreement, the three of them fused their robots together: Mai's robot was the upper body, Pilaf was the stomach section and Shu was the lower body. Seeing their robots fused, Raizen raised an eyebrow and asked "Seriously?"
Pilaf laughed and said "Now perish!"
As the fusion robot charged at Raizen, it threw it's fist at Raizen, but Raizen stopped it with his free hand. As the trio eyes widen in fear, Raizen said "My turn."
Gripping the robot fist, Raizen crushed it, holds it tight and he flew up into the sky with the robot. As Pilaf, Mai and Shu cried in fear, Raizen spins the robot around and around. In a matter of few seconds, Raizen lets got and sends the robot flying off into the distance, disappearing into the distance. Smiling in victory, Raizen descended to the ground and saw his teammates helping the town: Aqualad was using his water abilities to put out the fire and Zatanna was using her spells to fix the houses. Seeing the box, Raizen tossed it into the air and catches it. As the town people were returning, they all cheered them one. When Raizen found the person in charge, the person said "Thank you all for saving us! We owe you our lives!"
Raizen laughed and said "You're welcome."
As Raizen held out the box at him, the leader shook his head and said "You deserve it, my boy. It is our town treasure for the longest time, and now we want you to have it."
Touched that they want him to have the treasure, Raizen said "Are you sure?"
The leader nodded and said "We insist. Thank you all for saving our town."
When Raizen, Aqualad and Zatanna nodded, they went to Miss Martian's Bio-Ship and headed back to Mount Justice. Along the way, Zatanna looks over at Raizen and asked "So Raizen, what's in the box?"
Also curious, Raizen reaches for it and opens the box. Once he opens it, he raised an eyebrow. Inside the small black box was a small orange crystal ball with seven red stars in it. Taking it and picking it up, Raizen asked "What is that?"
Aqualad looks back and said "Curious thing. What is it?"
As Raizen shrugged, Zatanna's eyes widen, her mouth dropped and said "It's…It's real. I thought it was a legend."
Raizen looks at Zatanna and asked "What is it?"
Zatanna walks up to Raizen, gets the orange sphere and said "It's…It's a Dragon Ball!"
"A Dragon Ball?" Raizen asked.
Zatanna nodded and replied "Yes! There are seven in existence and, if they all come together, the almighty dragon Shenron appears and will grant one, perfect, wish."
"Really?" Aqualad asked.
As Zatanna nodded, Raizen said "So…any wish can come true?"
Zatanna said "Yes. This is indeed a treasure."
"Wow," Raizen said, "Imagine if we had all seven of them? What would be your wish?"
Thinking about Raizen's question, Zatanna thought about it and replied "I would wish to be the greatest sorceress."
Aqualad then said "I wish that I want to…uh…"
As he looks down, Raizen saw this and asked "What's your wish?"
After a moment of silence, Aqualad replied "I…always wanted to be the king of Atlantis. But I know that will never happen. I am faithful to my king and would never betray him."
Raizen chuckled and said "It's okay, bro. We all have fantasies."
As Aqualad nodded at him, Zatanna looks at Raizen and asked "So…what's your wish?"
Raizen stood quiet and replied "I…really don't know. I would wish that the Saiyans were brought back to life, but…I don't know. I mean, I have all that I need."
As Zatanna and Aqualad smiled, Raizen looks at the Dragon Ball, he carefully takes it from Zatanna, looks at it and said "But…I would wish that I am not the only one. I wish that there was another Saiyan alive."
After a long ride back to Mount Justice, Aqualad landed the Bio-Ship in the hanger bay. When they three of them got off, Raizen went to the trophy room and place the black box, which was open and showed the Dragon Ball, on one of the selves. As he stares at it, he heard a voice said "Hey Raizen."
When Raizen looks back, he saw Robin walking up to him. Raizen smirks and said "Hey Dick."
Looking around and saw that it was clear; Robin looks at him and said "How was the mission?"
Raizen smirked and said "It was an easy one."
Robin laughed and said "I wish I would have gone, but I had to get ready in an hour. I have to go with Bruce to some company in Japan to give a donation to their work."
"Really?" Raizen said, "What kind of work?"
Robin replied "Some crazy technology the guy invented. His name is Dr. Briefs. He created some-sort of capsules that can allow one to store things in it, and if you press the button of this capsule, it will appear to them."
Raizen whistled and said "That is a handy tech right there if one wants to move heavy stuff."
Robin laughed and said "Yeah, and later on, it might be one of the most successful companies. Maybe call it Capsule Corp."
Raizen shook his head and said "Don't know until it happens, right?"
"Maybe," Robin said, "Well, I gotta bounce. Later man."
With that, Robin left the trophy room. Raizen looks back at the Dragon Ball one last time before leaving the room. When he got to the living room, Raizen smiled when he saw Donna sitting on the couch. He then walks around the couch and sits next to her. When Donna looks over and saw Raizen, she smiled and said "Hello, my love."
Raizen leans in, kissed her on the lips and said "Hello, sweetie. How was your day?"
Donna smiled and said "I just got back from visiting my mother and her family. They were so happy to see me again. My mother is trying to convince me to go to school there."
Raizen laughed and said "What was it about you saying you don't have to worry about going to school?"
Donna pouted and said "I told her I don't need an education, but she insisted I go."
Raizen laughed and said "Sucks to be you."
As Donna shook her head, she leans her body against Raizen and she wrapped her arms around him. Raizen smiled and he wrapped his arm around her. For a while, the two of them shared each other's presence and enjoyed their time. Raizen was truly happy with his new life on Earth. But…he missed his family and the Saiyans. As Raizen sighed, he hoped for the best of his new life. Just then, the computer said "Recognize: Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman."
When Raizen and Donna looked up, they saw Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman exiting the Zeta-Tube and looked around. Once they saw Raizen, the three of them rushed up to him and Wonder Woman said "Raizen, thank the gods you are here."
Curious, Raizen and Donna got up and Raizen asked "What is it? What's wrong?"
Batman said "You need to see this."
When the five of them rushed to the briefing room, Batman summoned the hologram keyboard and said "We were analyzing your space pod and wanted to match it's signal in case you travel in space and get lost. We did a test run and…"
As they stood quiet, Raizen said "And what?"
Superman said "What we found…we didn't believe it."
Now confused, Raizen asked "What did you find?"
When Batman pressed the buttons on the keyboard, the world map appeared and a red dot appeared northeast in Japan. As Raizen raised and asked "What is that?"
Batman replied "The red dot supposed to represent your ship."
"Suppose to?" Donna asked, "Then why is it near Japan."
The three League members stood quiet until Batman said "Donna…Raizen's ship is still in the Watchtower."
Now more confused, Raizen points at the red dot and asked "Then what is the red dot there?"
After a moment of silence, Wonder Woman said "We are just making assumptions, but since Raizen's ship is in the Watchtower and that dot is supposed to track down the signal of Raizen's ship, then we believe that…"
Superman then said "That it might be another space pod."
Eyes widen, Donna said "You…You mean…"
Finally speaking, Raizen asked "It's…another Saiyan space pod?"
"We think so," Batman said.
Raizen, at the moment, was in the shock of his life. To think, there was another space pod on Earth! Raizen looks at Batman and asked "I…I thought I was the only one that came through the wormhole? How is this possible?"
"We don't know," Superman said, "But we hope that we take you there."
"Yes," Raizen said, "Let's go and find it."
Over Japan…
While Batman took the Batwing; Wonder Woman, Superman, Raizen and Donna were flying around trying to find the signal. When Batman found it, he flew the Batwing downward and everyone followed him. When he landed the Batwing, everyone landed on their feet. When Batman got out, he held a device that was tracking down the signal. As Batman was looking around, he faced east and said "The space pod is a few yards ahead of us."
In that instance, Raizen rushed east to find the space pod. In a matter of seconds, Raizen stopped when he saw a huge crater before him. Despite being a crater, there was grass growing within the crater. But what caught his eyes the most was the space pod he was looking for. However, unlike his space pod, this one was covered in green moss. Raizen figured that this space pod was here over a long period of time. As Raizen rushed up to the space pod, everyone else arrived and saw it. When Donna walked up to him, she asked "Is…Is that it?"
As Raizen examined it, he found a button to open it, pressed it and the pod slowly started to open it. Once the pod opened, Raizen looked inside and his eyes widen in surprise. He then reached in and pulled out a small glass sphere. When he pulls it out, everyone saw it and Superman asked "What is that?"
Raizen stared at it and replied "This…This is a nurture pod. It is design for…Saiyan newborns. They are sent to weak planet as an initiation for them."
"That's terrible!" Wonder Woman said.
"It's the way of the Saiyan," Raizen said.
"So…" Donna said, "If that is design to provide a Saiyan child…"
He looks at everyone and said "Then…there is a Saiyan child…here in Earth."
When Raizen said that, everyone gasped in surprise. Superman looks at the pod and asked "How long has it been there?"
Raizen quickly turns to it, pressed the button and asked "How long has this pod been here?"
Even though the computer is malfunctioned, it replied "1 year…17 days…"
"A year and 17 days," Raizen said, "Then that would mean…"
"It arrived four months before you came here," Wonder Woman said.
Raizen looks at everyone and asked "Why haven't you guys noticed the ship's arrival?"
Everyone thought about it and Batman replied "A year and 17 days. That's when Vandal Savage took control of the League."
Raizen looks back at the computer and asked "Computer, what was the child's name?"
The computer replied "Ka…kar…rot."
Superman raised an eyebrow and asked "Carrot?"
Raizen shook his head and said "No, it's Kakarrot."
He looks around and said "If this Saiyan baby is around, then why has no one noticed it when it turns into it's Great Ape Form?"
He then turns to everyone and said "We have to find this baby."
Now knowing it is important to Raizen, Batman said "I will have the League go through hospital records to check if there were any children brought in and if they had tails. With any luck, we'll find them."
Raizen started to pace back and forth and said "I can't believe it. I…I am not the last Saiyan. There is a child here!"
He then rushed to the computer and asked "Computer, how did you arrive here?"
The computer replied "System…malfunctioned…coordinates restarted…"
"Restarted?" Raizen said, "This pod must have come the same way I did."
"Through the wormhole," Batman said, "Let's take it for more testing."
Raizen nodded as he looked at the pod. He still can't believe it, he wasn't alone.
"WHAT?!" The Team shouted.
Later that night when the whole Team was there, Donna and Raizen told them about the second Saiyan space pod and the possibility that there might be another Saiyan on Earth. Miss Martian said "You mean that there is a Saiyan baby here?! All alone?!"
Raizen nodded and replied "It is. I am 100% certain that it is a Saiyan."
"Wow," Kid Flash said, "Another Saiyan! Awesome!"
"It would be awesome if we found the child," Raizen said, "There is absolutely no record of a child with a tail being brought into hospitals, nursing homes or any of that."
"But still," Zatanna said, "Another Saiyan living among us."
"You should be happy," Aqualad said.
"Yeah," Raizen said.
"Hey," Donna said as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "You should be happy."
"She's right," Artemis said, "Don't worry, we'll find them."
"That's right," Kid Flash said, "That way, we'll have Raisins and Carrots on our team."
Raizen gave Kid Flash a death glare and asked "Really?"
"Hey," Kid Flash said, "Not my fault that you have names based off of vegetables."
As Raizen shook his head, Superboy asked "So…if this kid has been living here for the past year, then where is he?"
Everyone thought about it and Rocket asked "And why didn't the kid turn into King Kong?"
"I don't know," Raizen said, "But I do know one thing."
When everyone looks at him, Raizen said "Where ever this Saiyan child is, we have to find them. And if we do, then I will do everything in my power to ensure he is raised to be the greatest warrior."
Everyone smiled and nodded their heads. They all also hope that this Saiyan child is alright.
In a secluded area in Japan…
It was morning within the forest. There were birds chirping, the fish were jumping out of the water and the bees were buzzing. And within this forest lies an old fashion Chinese house where an old Chinese man was watering his plants. This old man was bald, had very light skin, a white mustache and had beady black eyes. He was wearing a green top hat with a white cotton puff on it, an orange Chinese outfit with designs on it and had long black sleeves, black saggy pants and black slippers. This old man was Son Gohan, a marital artist master.
As Gohan continues to water his plants, he heard a ruffle in the leaves. When he looks up at a nearby tree, he smiled and shook his head. Up in the tree was a small boy hanging on the branch of the tree. The boy was around 1-2 years old, had wild black hair that went into different directions, round black eyes and light skin. This boy was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, blue saggy pants, black slippers and red wristbands. But the most interesting trait about this boy was the fact that he is hanging onto the branch…by a brown tail that was attached to him.
Gohan smiled and shook his head. Almost a year ago, when he was traveling home, he heard the boy's cries. When he went to investigate, he found the boy in the same space pod that Raizen and the others found. But the moment Gohan picked the child up, the child started to become violent and started to attack the old man. But despite all this, Gohan took the child to his home and decided to raise him as his own. As the days went by, the child was becoming more and more violent by the day. But that all changed one day. When Gohan was taking the child while carrying him in the basket he was carrying on his back, the child saw some butterflies, reaches up to them and fell off the basket…and fell down a cliff that was by a waterfall. As the child was falling, things turn worse when the child landed hard on his head. In fear, Gohan quickly got the boy, rushed home and started to heal the boy's wound. Luckily, Gohan manage to heal the boy's wound. As the days went by, the boy's wounds healed and, by some miracle, the boy's attitude changed from a violent mode to a happy and cheerful mode. And ever since then, the boy has been the happiest thing to Gohan's life. And it was at that moment when Gohan decided to name the boy.
Gohan looks up at the boy and said "Come down, Goku. You want to have breakfast?"
The boy, whose name is Goku, smiled as he leaps from the tree and rushed into the house. Gohan laughed as he entered the house. He doesn't know it yet, but Gohan believes that his grandson Goku will accomplish great things.
And that is it! How do you all like this chapter?! Did you all enjoy it? Since Raizen landed on Earth first, and Goku was just a baby, I figure that Raizen's last enemies in this story would be Pilaf, Shu and Mai, since those three were after the Dragon Balls during the time Goku was growing up. And as for Raizen and the others getting the Dragon Ball, I thought it would be cool if they had at least one. And as for Dr. Briefs, Bulma's dad, I figure to have him a brief mention and write that he barely is starting his business, and thanks to Bruce Wayne's donation, it will soon become one of the most successful companies in the future. And we all know this, hehe. And lastly, you all guessed it, the short intro of Gohan (Goku's grandfather) and Goku himself! I read all the reviews and wondered if Goku was going to have a mentioned in the story or mention him. Well, there he is! I hope you all like it! And I know you are all wondering if, after this, there will be a one-shot or another story that will include Raizen meeting Goku. But I am going to be honest, this will be the last Dragonball Z/Young Justice story I will ever do. Main reason is because I need to be focused on my other stories. BUT…If I DO have the time, I MIGHT do a short one where Raizen meets Goku when he and Bulma goes around and find the other Dragonballs. So there's that. With that out of the way, here are my final thoughts:
I just want to say thank you all for reading Young Justice Z: The Rise of Raizen. I know it was a long journey for us all and there have been lack of updates in this story, but you all stuck by me to the end, and I am very thankful to have faithful readers like you all. I hope to hear from you all about this story. If you want to read more stories from my work, you are all welcome to go to my profile and read them. I will be happy if you all do that. Anyways, thank you all for reading this story and hope to hear from you all once again. Thank you all and see you all later. Until then, please review!
