There is activity on Raditz's scouter when the weighted clothes are removed, but he bluffs by claming that their power levels have stayed the same as before. Goku doesn't believe him, and rightly so. There is a major performance boosts this time round, but Raditz's still beats up both men relatively easily. After a small bit of fist fighting where Raditz just toys around with them, Goku flies into the air, and launches a KameHameHa attack at Raditz, with a power level of 1,000 on the beam. Raditz detects the power of it with his scouter, and starts to run from it, using his incredible speed. After a short time running, Raditz realizes that he can block the beam, so he stops, turns around, and holds out his arms, making the beam come to a halt, and then gradually disappear. Goku can't believe it. It is time for a new strategy. Piccolo tells Goku to keep Raditz busy while he charges up a special attack, that he was saving the Goku himself! He agrees, and goes at Raditz, attacking him with all he's worth. He just isn't fast enough to cut it though, and ends up getting beat down to the ground. Raditz detects a power level of 1,200 on his scouter, and sees Piccolo, ready to attack with his secret weapon - The Demon Ray. Raditz says out loud "I can't block that!" and the attack is shot at him. It seems to go right through him though, and blows up a nearby mountain. We see Raditz's damaged armour, and bleeding shoulder. He is enraged by the injury, but Piccolo can't believe that he was fast enough to dodge it.
Raditz begin to pound the living hell out of Goku, and turns to Piccolo when his brother is down on the floor. He reminds him of the trick that he was going to use on him, and Piccolo remembers. Once again, Raditz gets that ball of energy in his hand, and prepares to throw it. Before he can launch it at Piccolo though, he suddenly falls to the floor. Behind him is Goku, holding onto his tail. Raditz is in excruciating pain on the floor. Goku comments on how he remembers the pain he suffered when having his tail removed. Raditz is pleading with Goku to let go, as Piccolo once again charges up his Demon Ray, going for another try. Raditz manipulates Goku into thinking that he'll go back from whence he came, and never do anything bad again. The gullible warrior agrees to let go, and is thanked with an elbow to the face. Piccolo had tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. Raditz begins laughing at Goku's foolishness, as he is on the floor.
Piccolo looks on, unable to do anything about the beating that Goku is receiving. Raditz taunts the green man, and then turns to Goku. He presses his foot down on his ribs extremely hard, making Goku cry out in pain. As Raditz presses his foot down harder, Goku's screams become louder, until they fill the air. From inside the crater comes a huge explosion, as Gohan soars out. He is growling fiercely. "Leave my daddy alone!" he shouted, then charged at Raditz, hitting him with a headbutt, and putting a hole in his armour. Raditz almost falls to the floor, but manages to stand his ground. He can't believe that the son of someone he called a low class soldier, could be the strongest person on the whole planet. Gohan is dazed, but unaware of where he is, and how he got there. Raditz laughs as he sees the power level go straight back down, then kicks him, knocking the little kid unconscious.
Raditz now turns to Piccolo, thinking that he is the only one left. Slowly he advances on him, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. His arms flip into the air, into a full nelson pose. Goku is up, and clutching Raditz tightly in the full nelson hold, not letting go. Piccolo gets ready to deliver the beam which will destroy Raditz, just after Goku says that he will nobly give up his life to get rid of Raditz. Piccolo doesn't try to stop him though, saying that it would be pretty convenient to him if Goku died. Raditz tries to escape, but the damage that Gohan did earlier had weakened him. Goku comments on how his ribs are broken, and Piccolo waits a few seconds before releasing the ray, which cuts through the middle of both Raditz and Goku, killing them both. In their dying moments, Raditz taunts Goku about foolishly giving up his life, but Piccolo tells him of the dragon balls, and them being able to revive Goku. Raditz scoffs at him, informing him that his scouter is also a communication device, which allows his other saiyan friends to hear everything that he hears, and now that he let that out, they will be along to try and get hold of them. Piccolo doesn't show much interest, until Raditz tells him that they are about 10 times stronger than him. At first, Piccolo refuses to believe it, but he comes to terms with it in the end, and Raditz dies. He then turns to Goku, who is slowly being drained of his life too. He tells Piccolo to wish him back, then fades away, just as Krillen and the others land.
They get out, and go over to Goku, being careful to avoid Piccolo. They see Goku fading away, and are told by Piccolo that it is the work of Kami, taking him to the check in station for dead spirits. Piccolo then walks over to Gohan, and lifts him up, and walks away. Krillen tries to stop him, but knows better than to get in a fight with the green man. Piccolo informs the others about the saiyans that will soon arrive, and it shocks them greatly. He walks off, saying that he is taking Gohan to train him, as he has truly amazing potential.
Krillen and the others collect as many of the dragon balls as they can, eventually getting all 7. They take them to Roshi's hut, and put them together.
Up in heaven, Goku has been given permission to run snake way, to try and receive some training off the great King Kai - The only person ever to make it all the way along Snake Way. The one thing he was told was not to fall off, because of he does, then there is no return.
