Chapter 9 - Raditz

Akira POV

One thing I will admit is that I am a hypocrite. Looking back on it now, I realize how stupid I was to choose the world of Dragon Ball. Don't get me wrong, I love living in this world, but what I didn't think about at the time, was that I am a PACIFIST!

I realize how stupid I was to ask to be sent to this world, were fighting is literally the thing of this multiverse. But it's to late to go back now. I mentally sigh, lamenting my own stupidity. I may be smart, but I was by no means wise.

I don't know the best way to do things, and mostly I am flying by the seat of my pants. But what else can I do? Their isn't exactly a guide, no systems to point me in the right direction. look at my hidden power. I know it may seem illogical to fear it, I know it can be trained, but humans don't always think logically.

Sure I may of consciously realized that fearing my power is pretty stupid, but that downs stop me from fearing it anyway. Plus I am a pacifist, so fighting isn't something I want to do. But I also want to be strong, want to be like my Dad! ARRGGG!

WHY CANT I JUST DECIDE WHAT I WANT D**NIT!? WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED!?

I calm down, knowing that anger isn't going to get me anywhere. I know that as long as I am having these conflicting feelings, I won't be able to move forward. Mine over Matter is a real thing in this world, I know that, and it affects everything.

In this world, whether it be fighting or anything else, your mind effects things. If you think you can't do something, you won't. Look at the humans Z fighters! They have enormous potential, and if they work hard enough, may be able to keep up some what with the Saiyans.

But eventually they grew to believe they will never truly catch up to the Saiyans, and as such they limited themselves. So until I figure out this mental struggle, I know I will be limiting myself.

As Dad is talking with his friends, I clench my fist, feeling ashamed of my problem. Dad wouldn't be like this, He is always sure that he can get stronger, He never wavers in his beliefs, never stops believing he can reach farther. That is my belief in why he is so strong.

But I'm not like that. I have a last life, filled with my own experiences, my own mentality. Both my lives are clashing, do I want to stop holding myself back, letting go of my old life, or should I embrace this new one, but let my old life and self go.

It may seem dumb, but this type of issue isn't solved easily. I decide to push away my problems for now, and focus on meeting the rest of the guys.

Goku: "Their my kids. "

As I see their faces turn shocked, I can help but giggle a little at how unbelievably funny they look. I turn away from their conversation, instead focusing on Gohan, and making sure he doesn't get hurt.

As he Plays rock paper sissy with a crab, is pinch his hand, casing him to cry out a little, and making me rush over to him in an instant. I give the crab a death glare, and it promptly shits itself, and rush off. yeah, run you little piece of shit.

I learned my glare after seeing mom use is so many times. It always scared Dad and Gohan something fierce, so I copied it from her, and started using it when Dad or Gohan annoy me or take things.

I mentally laugh as I remember the time Gohan took some of my books and with my glare he really pissed himself and immediately told me were the book was. their is something amazing at seeing Dad, a grown man, scared shitless my a glare from his daughter.

Krillin: "Wow, Akira kinda reminds me of Chi-Chi"

I hear the slight fear in Krillin's voice and smirk. yes punny bald man, fear my magnificent glare.

Goku: "yeah, she copied her glare from Chi-Chi. She is usually very nice, but make her angry at she is a little demon. "

it's true, I still remember the time Dad pissed me off my breaking a toy globe Mom bought me on the first day I got it. For the next week, he was bombarded with paint filled showers, indigestion pills, burnt food, a couple flying pans, and even a tree falling on top of him. I will never tell how I managed to full that off.

Bulma: "Well she's very cute, I bet boys will fall over her when she's older."

I feel my stomach churn at the thought of being with a guy. I may have accepted I'm a girl now, but my sexuality is unchanged, I like girls and I am proud of it. Of course since I am in the body of a kid I don't get sexually aroused or attracted to others, which is great, a so still remember all those times I accidentally got distracted by a girl in my past life.

Roshi: "I can see with just a glance they both have great potential, although Akira seems to stick out for some reason. "

Figures Master Roshi would be able to tell someone has potential at a glance, but I didn't expect for him to get something extra from me. Don't Gohan and I have equal potential? Oh course at the time he was taking about being able to sense how I am a prodigy, and a genius.

Oh yeah, I didn't realize at the time since I never fought, but when I wished for genius level intellect, I never specified in what area, as their are many forms of intelligence, so the ROB threw me a bone, and made it so I had genius level intelligence in fighting, kind like Vegeta.

Make no mistake, Vegeta is a true genius in combat, through and through. I mean he figures out Ki Sensing after just one fight with the Z-fighters, He managed to figure out how to sense God Ki near the end of Dad's future fight with Beerus, and he even managed to figure out how to move in that strange realm I'm Whis's staff before Dad.

Goku: "Yeah, but Chi-Chi won't let me train them, and while Akira seems to enjoy watching me fight, she seems terrified of fighting herself."

This makes me sad, as I feel bad about fearing my hidden power. Maybe I should go to therapy, that could help most likely (Author: Sorry Akira, but I'm not going to make it that easy, mwahahahaha- cough, cough)

As Dad and the others continue talking, me and Gohan run back up to him, but suddenly I notice Dad's face turn serious, and I feel my bad feeling come back full force. In the next few seconds, My anxiety grows until in a split second, faster than I could see, standing Infront of us is my uncle.

His face has some striking similarities to my Dad, and his hair reached all the way don't to his mid to low back. But what makes my fear grow is the feeling he's giving off. I can't sense Ki, but I can tell he is powerful (at least by my power). I get the feeling of death coming off of him, like he has slaughtered millions, I'd not billions of others.

Raditz: "I have finally found you, Kakarot"

I can feel my father's confusion. Due to my acting skills, I was able to play along like the others, but my fear is very real. Raditz may not be a planet buster, but I know he can level a city no problem. This guys power level is just under 5 time higher than King Piccolo, and while power levels aren't always reliable, they do give an idea on a person's over all power.

Raditz could probably wipe out a continent if he wanted, He could obliterate me with a flick of his finger, and the worst part is I know he would do it without any hesitation. I clenched my father's Gi, standing behind his leg, feeling a sense of fear and useless.

I only sort of listen to the conversation in case their are any divinations from normal, but most of my attention I focused on 3 things, Dad, Gohan, and Raditz. As the conversation goes on, I can tell Dad's world is being flipped upside down.

Rightly so as he now knows he is an alien, any normal person would have gone through a major identity crisis. But in tire Dad fashion, he quickly realized that it doesn't matter if he is a Saiyan, he's Earth was his home. I feel my fear lesson for a second, admiring my Dad's strength.

Some may call Dad stupid, but I know better. Sure in certain areas like social, and things to do with school, he is pretty bad, but Dad's true intelligence lies elsewhere. Firmly in his combat, instincts, and even survival. Dad is very intelligent, his intelligence is just different from other people.

Raditz goes on the exposition us about Goku's past, and I act shocked like everything else. Dad's friends are rightly disgusted with the Saiyan race, Bulma hugging Gohan and I while commenting in horror how the send children out into space alone.

That makes my stomach churn in disgust. In my past life, it always pissed me off when hearing about others hurting children. While hurting adults is bad, hurting innocent children was the quickest way to piss me off, well that and Racism, Sexism, or any type of discrimination for how others are born. You want to hate others for their actions or personality, that's fine, but hating them for something they can't help, and you pissed me off.

Dad tells Raditz that he is Goku, and go leave. Raditz then cast his gaze to me and Gohan, seeing our tails, and smiles. That smiles makes me want to puke, and I quickly move my tail out of his view, curing myself for leaving it out in the open.

Raditz: "Well Kakarot since you refuse to see reason, I will be taking you children until you cooperate. They are half Saiyan, so they will be helpful to us. "

But Dad immediately gets angry, and when Raditz moves forward to grab us, Dad charges Raditz, only to be given a devistating knee to the stomach. I panic seeing this, and grab Gohan's hand and start to run pulling him along, into for Raditz to grab both of us with each of his hands.

Raditz: I will be taking your children, if you want them back, I expect 100 bodies on this island by tomorrow. "

he them proceeds to fly off wish in in hand. I instinctively shut my eyes, fearing the winds, and faintly hearing Dad call after us. I manage to fight the impulse to cry out if fear and despare, realizing that if I only trained, I could have maybe done something. I decide that after this, I will at least train, as if I don't, things like this will continue to happen.

This will be my first step to over coming my fear, provided I survive this.
