Raditz stood in the Lookout, he was waiting for Kami to bring back Gine from Heaven."Time is running out... Should I use next year"s wish to stop Cell? If I still can"t attain Super Saiyan by then, I guess that"s the best course of action." Raditz sighed. He has been stuck in the Pseudo Super Saiyan state for almost 2 years now. He had long since surpa.s.sed 400x gravity in the normal Gravity Chamber and switched to the improved model and was currently able to train in 500x Gravity. His Ki was lagging behind and he was pondering whether he should take some time to temper his spirit and Ki meditate.
Raditz was naturally nervous to met his new mother. While waiting nervously for what felt like an eternity. Kami finally came back with Gine in tow.
"Raditz!" Gine noticed Raditz and quickly ran up to him and give him a tight hug.
"Ah!" Raditz was taken by surprise and froze.
"I missed you so much! My little boy has grown so much!" Gine was tearing up. Tears dripped down her face.
"M-mom." Raditz stammered and stiffly hugged Gine back. At that moment, Raditz felt like a huge burden in his heart and been lifted. It felt warm and comfortable in both his body and soul.
As time pa.s.sed, Raditz got more used to his new mother and began to talk about his experiences. He would of course not tell her that he had replaced her real son.
"Oh! Kakarot has also grown up! So he even has a son now! How great! He"s even married!" Gine clapped her hands happily.
Kami"s mind had been tense when he brought the new Saiyan over, but after seeing her interactions with Raditz, his worries disappeared. He even wondered if Goku"s family"s bloodline was special, for each and every Saiyan in their family to be kind, unlike the evil Saiyans like Vegeta.
Raditz didn"t know why, but he felt more and more comfortable being with Gine and was now able to talk comfortably with his mother.
Gine was especially happy that her two sons lived on Earth, a planet that was so peaceful a removed from all the killings. She was also very excited to meet Goku"s family.
Raditz finished talking and brought Gine with him and flew to Goku"s home.

"This is?" Goku felt a sense of familiarity once he saw Gine, but he could not remember where he had seen her before. But once he noticed Gine"s Saiyan tail, he seemed to understand.
"Ah! Raditz, could this be your wife?" Goku asked foolishly. But it couldn"t be helped, Gine looked young. For one, she died young. But the main reason is that Saiyans keep their youthful appearance and are always in their best condition for battles. Only when they are very old, will they quickly grow into an elderly appearance.
"Didn"t I say all other Saiyans died out..." Raditz"s mouth twitched. Although Gine was as good as a stranger to him, he still did not have an Oedipus complex.
"Oh! Right. Then, who is she?" Goku asked.
"Little fool. Kakarot, it"s me, Gine. Your mother." Gine laughed and gave Goku a hug.
"Ah? M-mom?" Goku was shocked and hugged back.
Goku did not feel awkward about suddenly meeting his mother. He was quite laid back and at ease. Rather, it was Chichi that was more nervous.
"G-greetings! M-mother-in-law!" Chichi quickly bowed twice in panic.
"She"s my grandma? But she looks so young!" Gohan said confused.
"Silly child. We Saiyans maintain our youthful appearances until around 80 years old. This is in order to be in our peak state so we can do our best in battles. Only at that time will we rapidly age to an elderly appearance." Gine rubbed Gohan and gently explained.
"U-until 80? You"re able to keep your youth until you"re 80? I"m so envious!" Chichi rubbed her face, looking for any possible wrinkles.
Raditz had a speechless look and wondered why the girls in the Dragon Ball World always complained about them aging and growing older. Yet they never used the Dragon b.a.l.l.s to wish for Eternal Youth.
It didn"t take long for Gine to integrate into their family. Gine and Chichi started chatting, while Goku soon got bored.
"You want to be called Goku? Okay, that is fine. I"m just happy you"re still alive. You look just like your father." Gine caressed Goku"s face.
"Big brother said the same." Goku nodded.
Gine started living with them, it was time to expand the house. It was a very simple job since everyone was abnormally strong. They cut some stones from big boulders and mountains, and some trees and made it into planks. After hammering and gluing everything, a big mansion-sized house was erected.
Even though they taught Gine martial arts and invited her to train in the Gravity Chambers, Gine did not have much of an interest in fighting. She would only occasionally work out as if to just exercise her body.
"Now that I think about it... Gine is- oops, I mean mom is obviously a righteous Saiyan. +1 righteous Saiyan. Pity, Bardock can"t be brought back. Otherwise, it would be +2." Raditz thought.
Raditz was not in a hurry to begin training again. Gravity training had slowed down, it became harder and harder to improve now that he was training under 500x gravity. And the little gains in strength could not compare to the Super Saiyan Transformation.
The Kaioken would get more and more redundant due to its high strain on its user"s body for each heartbeat they multiply their Ki. Although the Super Saiyan state does strain the body, but once you train and master the Super Saiyan state, there would barely be any strain on the user"s body.
Raditz spent his days with Gine, sometimes taking her on a tour around the mountains, sometimes to a nearby town or village. Gine really liked the peaceful atmosphere. Of course, her Saiyan"s definition of peace was similar but also somewhat different from humans.
Once, when they were in a small town, a pickpocketer tried to pickpocket Gine, only to end up getting strangled by her tail and thrashed and sent to the police. That was her way of handling the thief in a peaceful manner.
The reason Raditz spent so much time with Gine was not that he liked her, but rather that he felt peaceful and comfortable in his heart and mind.
Before he knew it, he had spent 3 months skipping training and only stayed with Gine daily.
"Ah..." Raditz exclaimed. On this day, Raditz no longer felt the comfortable feeling when he stayed next to Gine.
"What the heck have I been doing?!" Raditz felt he had really wasted his time, to skip 3 months of training. That means there was less than a year left until the Android Saga starts.
"But, there has been some kind of change.. in my mind? Or soul?" Raditz felt his mind had turned clearer as compared to before the 3 months.
Raditz sat down and entered meditation.
"My spirit has grown? No, wait. It"s actually Raditz"s soul that has disappeared? Did I swallow his soul?" Raditz suddenly noticed his spirit had grown much bigger as compared to before. But the parts that were more foreign to him, which represented the old Raditz"s soul had disappeared.
In the past, he could inspect the old Raditz"s soul and browse his memories, but now they were all gone. He couldn"t find the old Raditz"s soul anymore. The memories seem to have also been transferred to him, he no longer needed to browse the memories, but could simply recall them with a single thought as if they were his own memories.
"Everything happened after I met Gine... Could it be that the old Raditz"s soul"s obsession was to meet his family? Although I did not meet Bardock, Goku looks really similar, so he could have maybe subst.i.tuted for Bardock? Now that I"ve fulfilled his wishes, did he let go of everything?" Raditz speculated. When he first met Goku, the old Raditz"s emotions were so overwhelming when he talked about his parents that he even teared up. The same thing happened when Raditz met Gine. Raditz speculated that the comfortable feeling he felt when he spent time with Gine, was actually the old Raditz"s soul letting go of everything and pa.s.sed it all over to him. The old Raditz"s soul had turned into pure soul energy and nurtured his soul. And only today, did he finish absorbing all of the pure soul energy.
He would now, no longer be influenced by the old Raditz"s emotions.
"I have the feeling... That I"ve become stronger...?" Raditz looked confused, he clenched his fist a few times.
Raditz measured his battle power and was stunned. It had shot up from 9 million to 10 million. Even though he had not trained at all since he reached 9 million in battle power.
"It"s real! Then... Why do I feel so confident? That I can" become a Super Saiyan, right now...?" Raditz muttered in shock.
Raditz would naturally not destroy his own training room. Knowing that the first few transformations would be very unstable and the energy would be uncontrollably leaking out to the surroundings, Raditz flew to Gizard Wasteland.
