[He doesn't mind sharing it, really. He's skimmed over the details maybe once before, and it's not such a big deal to talk about it.]
Well, I was four at the time, and I couldn't defend myself or anything -- I didn't even know I had any power, but my dad's the strongest guy on Earth. Anyway, an alien came one day and said he was my dad's brother, and wanted to know why he hadn't killed everybody on the planet yet. Dad got sent to Earth as a baby with that mission, but he hit his head when he was little and forgot everything.
[Neliel might note that the alien will never get the distinction of being called family.] So Raditz -- the alien -- tried to blackmail my dad into starting to wipe everybody out . . . [He ducks his head a little here, not liking the memory.] By kidnapping me and threatening to kill me if he didn't do it. But dad and Mr. Piccolo came and fought him instead.
They won -- kinda with my help, because I lost my temper and my power came out -- but dad died in the fight, and Raditz had sent some important information about Earth to his bosses, and said they'd definitely come, and it'd take about a year to get there.
Mr. Piccolo thought my power would be crucial for the fight, but since I didn't know anything about that kind of stuff, he took me and dumped me in the wilderness to toughen me up before training me.
