Hours before Goku arrived on Earth, he was still in Otherworld, checking on King Yemma, who can barely stand after that attack from Janemba.

"Are you alright, Yemma?" Goku asks.

"No, I'm not alright. Not even close. Who the heck blew up my check in station with me inside?" Yemma asks.

"Well, King Kai says says it was a guy calling himself Janemba from Hell. He must be crazy strong to send an attack all the way up here." Goku says with a smile.

King Yemma then realizes what this means.

"Oh no. This is terrible. Do you know what this means?" King Yemma asks.

Goku pauses for a moment.

"No, not really." Goku replies.

"With the check in station gone, there's nothing keeping people here! Which mean that everyone and anyone from hell are now free to run wild on earth!" Yemma says.

"Oh. Yeah that's bad." Goku says.

King Yemma then grabs him by the shoulders.

"Goku, you must go out and make sure they return to hell! I'll make sure the check in station is rebuilt, protect the innocent."

Goku nods and uses his instant transmission, sensing an energy he hasn't felt in a long time. He then teleports to the familiar Ki, while King Yemma yells at his workers to rebuild the check in station.

Meanwhile, in an open field on Earth, the Saiyan Raditz stands alone, confused at what's going on.

"This- looks like Earth. But how?" Raditz asks himself.

At that moment, Goku appears infront of him.

"So it was you, Raditz." Goku says.

Raditz is stunned to see his little brother infront of him.

"Kakarot? Is that really you?"

Goku gets a serious look on his face.

"I hope you're ready. This won't be like last time we fought." Goku says, taking a fighting stance.

Raditz quickly puts his hands up towards his brother.

"Wait, hold on, I don't wish to fight you."

Goku is surprised by this.

"You don't?" Goku asks.

Raditz sighs, then walks closer to Goku.

"I spent my entire life under the heel of others. Being told I was worthless, even by people I called comrades. I accepted that, and believed I would be nothing but a lower class warrior. But then I heard about you, and how you defeated Nappa, the ginyu force, and even Frieza, I couldn't believe it. In only a short time since we fought, you improved so much."

He then puts his hands on Goku's shoulders.

"I spent so long in hell. And I thought about all the things I've done, that I was forced to do. To you! My own brother! Kakarot... I don't expect forgiveness. I just want you to know... how proud I am of you. You're proof, that even us deemed as worthless can become great warriors." Raditz says with tears in his eyes.

Goku smiles at his brother, putting his hand on his shoulder.

"What happened between us was a long time ago, and I can see now that you've really changed. I've never been that good at holding grudges anyway. I forgive you Raditz, and I hope you can forgive me for not coming to find you sooner."
