--Chapter 4: Bardock and Gine are our parents?! Summon your power Raditz!--

"Can you tell me about our parents?" The question Kakarot asked earlier is repeated differently and more desperately. He stares at his brother, waiting for his reply.

Raditz stays silent for a while. He hasn't thought much about his parents as after he found out that they died along with his planet's explosion. He thought about them heavily after he reunited with his brother because he looks almost exactly like...

"Raditz? Are you okay?" Kakarot asks with concern.

Raditz realizes that he was shaking hard. He sees the worry all over his brother's face. "You remind me of our mother Kakarot." He tries to hide the emotions he hasn't felt in years. It is believed that the only emotions Saiyans show is anger, hatred, and cruelty. It is very rare to actually see a Saiyan care for another. His entire family is like that, all except him. He doesn't mind but, it bothers him that he's starting to show it. "Don't you worry about me. Worry about yourself."

"I can't help but worry. You look shaken up." Kakarot throws some twigs and grass in the middle of the crater. He fires a small blast and it burst into flames.

Raditz sighs heavily. "Do you really want to know about them?" Well, that's a stupid question he must admit. His brother doesn't remember anything about his infant past. He wanted to ask, hoping to avoid the conversation.

"I know that I once knew them. I want to know them again. Are they like the other Saiyans?" Kakarot asks while throwing the fishes over the huge flames.

"Fine. I'll tell you since you joined me anyway. You must know." He almost growls when Kakarot sits down on the ground as if he's getting a class lesson. "Our parents were very different when it comes to personality... very much like you and I are. Our father - Bardock - he was just like any other Saiyan; living for the thrill of battle and defeating his foe's without mercy. He holds on strongly to the pride of the Saiyans."

"What does he look like?"

"Didn't I mention back on the beach that you look like our father? You look almost like him. You have his hair, that smirk... he just has a scar on his face." He traces his finger as a x on his cheek to point that out. "He is a bit different. He cared for us even though it didn't seem like it."

Kakarot looks at the window of the broken door from the pod. He sees his reflection replaced with what could be the face of his father. He can see him in his mind, fighting strongly and not holding back. "What about our mother?"

Raditz finds himself chuckling a bit. "Saiyans thought she was an odd one."

"Huh? Odd? What's wrong with her?" Kakarot's attention back on his brother.

"There was nothing wrong. She was just... different. Our mother - Gine - she was a warrior too, but she's not all that strong. She used to be a part of our father's crew. She wasn't a excellent warrior in the battlefield, so you can imagine how many times our father had to save her. That's how they grew found to each other. Eventually, she stopped fighting and joined some meat company to make up for her years of not battling. She is rather... soft. She still has her pride in there, but she was not into fighting like our father was. Even still..."

Raditz takes a deep breath.

"She had... quite the temper if you made her lose it."

He said those words with a hint of a shudder. He must be getting chills by just remembering it. It's hard to see how...
