When Raditz returned to capsule corporation the damaged walls were being meticulously repaired, Cell's beatdown had done quite a number on the building's integrity.
Multiple drones were working in a synchronised fashion to fix the broken chunks of wall.
"Raditz! What happened?"
Exclaimed Pie pie the very second that Raditz returned, this was a big deal for them as this was the threat that would have killed Raditz and her.
Raditz who just touched down and was about to answer, was sadly stopped from doing so by another event.
*Woosh*
"Hey! I just felt my ki signature appear and then disappear! What's going on?"
Goku asked happily as soon as he popped into existence, as if just coming out of thin air was the most normal thing to do.
The only difference from his normal posture was that two of his fingers were connected to his forehead.
"Hmm? Oh yes, that was an enemy from the future but before that, did you just teleport?"
Asked Raditz with a curious look to him, in response to which Goku grinned and showed a victory pose.
"This is instant transmission! I can go anywhere as long as I can sense someone's ki!"
"Watch!"
*Woosh*
Again vanishing out of thin air Goku left the room silent, silence which Nappa broke.
"Teleportation? Kakarot's gotten really strong."
This was a serious praise from Nappa, he was a massive man and thus fully aware how important movement abilities were in a fight.
Bulma also nodded but her thoughts were on a different path, she was wondering if she should research this and if this teleportation can be used across timelines?
Because if that were to happen, Raditz won't need a time machine to travel through timelines.
'I'll look into it, if it's working with space time principles and not just a fake teleportation, then I might be able to think of a way.'
Just when Bulma was thinking of creating the most busted technique in existence.
*Woosh*
Goku returned, but this time around he had Roshi's sunglasses on his face and another grin to show how much fun he was having doing this.
"Nice, those are the master's glasses? That's pretty good Kakarot, you have become really strong."
Hearing his brother's heartfelt praise Goku removed the sunglasses and gave a happy smile to Raditz.
Which soon morphed into a serious look.
"But you have become strong too, I don't think I can defeat you even with Super Saiyan."
This was concluded very seriously by Goku, the man was anything but absolutely serious when it came to things like this.
This however shocked Nappa, his eyes popped and he exclaimed out.
"What?! Super Saiyan! Kakarot you too!!"
Rubbing the back of his head, Goku smiled and laughed merrily, then explained how it happened.
"I managed to do it when I was training at Yadrat, Gohan mastered his transformation too, now he can transform whenever he wants!"
Although Goku's words were basic and didn't put much weight onto the process, Nappa still knew how hard it could be to transform.
Kakarot being able to do this meant he naturally understood Super Saiyan and had the necessary requirements to become one.
Yadrat definitely helped, but how much was Yadrat and how much was Kakarot himself, that Nappa didn't know.
"That's amazing Kakarot, you make me soo proud."
*Knock!*
But Raditz's sudden punch to Goku's head was showing he was anything but proud.
"Ouch! That hurt! What was that for!"
Twitching his lips Raditz snorted lightly, he still couldn't understand how Goku was being happy about this, yet he was taking his disease so lightly!
In Goku's mind there wasn't even one mention of his disease.
"Kakarot, where is your medicine?"
Cringing from the question Goku laughed in an embarrassed fashion.
"I forgot where I kept it.. Hahahaha!"
Clenching his fist because this was to be expected from Goku, Raditz shook his head and arranged Goku's schedule for him.
"You are careless Kakarot, fine, Trunks gave us the recipe of the medicine, Bulma will make one and give it to Gohan."
"I won't be there to keep tabs on you, so you better survive when I return, you hear me Kakarot!"
Looking at Raditz with a confused expression, Goku asked.
"Huh? Where are you going?"
This felt like a good time for Trunks to cut in, so he did just that, he wanted to talk to Goku, the second guy who could have saved the future if he was to survive.
"King is going with me, he is helping me against the androids of the future."
When Trunks let Goku know their plans he exclaimed from shock.
"Hey, no fair! You get to fight them so soon."
Trunks's situation could be described right now as being tongue tied.
The androids which were a constant nightmare for him was fun for Goku, even Raditz didn't seem to be too bothered by them.
Trunks didn't know if this was a matter of self confidence or the brothers were they truly this free in their lives.
Whatever it was, Trunks knew he could never have such an attitude towards his life, for this alone he respected the them both.
"What's so unfair about this Kakarot, you got your training on Yadrat, I get to fight the future androids, this is completely fair."
"And I am not telling you do to nothing, you need to seriously train, the guy I just killed had amazing potential and he exists in the past too."
"And most importantly, it's only a matter of time before androids attack the earth."
Gesturing towards his family, Raditz said lightly.
"I hope you can protect them when I am not around, I don't want to come back after fixing the future, just to see a broken past."
Seeing Raditz so serious about this, Goku also gave him a serious smile.
No other words were needed between the brothers, a silent conversation had already taken place.
And with that Raditz was confident enough to go to the future, he didn't have any worries about his family with Goku and Nappa around.
"Oh yes, before I forget Kakarot, show me your Super Saiyan once."
Although a bit confused Goku obliged and narrowed his eyes.
*Whooosh!*
A burst of golden yellow ki later, Goku had turned Super Saiyan, and he had done so with ease.
Nodding his head at Goku's transformation, Raditz figured it was a good time to let Goku know the road forward.
Now how to go about that he himself wasn't too sure but Goku being Goku, will figure it out sooner or later.
"As I thought, Kakarot, this isn't the limit of Super Saiyan's boost, I can sense some volatility in the transformation."
"You have almost reached the end of your normal strength growth, you need to take Super Saiyan further if you want to become stronger."
Goku was surprised hearing that, he didn't know he was reaching a limit.
Grabbing his chin he wondered out loud.
"You know, I had a feeling for a while, I guess that confirms it, hahaha."
Goku laughed heartily, he wasn't sad that he was reaching a limit, but he was happy that he had a possible way forward using Super Saiyan.
This sheer optimistic attitude was contagious, and thus it removed the last of Raditz's worries about leaving his family behind to go and visit the future.
As long as Goku lives, no matter what danger comes he will rise up and turn that situation around.
