Previous ChapterNext ChapterRaditz
As Raditz didn't say a single word as he flew through the night air back to the small town, he kept his mind occupied with other things. He thought to his past to see where this weakness had sprouted from, was it Kakarot, his time with Nappa, or even his mother Gine? He didnt know and he was angry to even feel this way. Upon seeing where he was he slowly flew down and landed in a alley as he was now a block away from the orphanage.
“I am too tired to keep my mind on this shit! I will go to bed and when i wake up i will think of a way to talk to her about all of this feeling.” Raditz said as he turned the corner and kept walking to the orphanage. As he got there he knocked on the door and waited.
After a few seconds he was about to knock again until he saw it open and a kid with orange skin and a pink and purple mix of hair, “Hello?” Asked the young girl as Raditz looked at her and was about to push pass her.
“I am living here? Look can you move out of the way i had a long day…” Raditz said as he pushed the door and pushed the girl aside, Raditz started to walk passed the kids as she ran infront of him and put her arms out.
“Hey at least say excuse me… jerk.” the little girl said as she looked at him and then her eyes went as wide a plates as she bounced in place. “Wait arnt you the guy that fought alongside Rainbow Dash today! That was so awesome! How did you feel? Was it fun? Was it scary!” The young girl asked as Radtiz just rolled his eyes and tried to side step her but couldn’t
As Raditz soon realized that it will be hopeless to move around her he sighed and looked at her “Look i like fighting a lot, it felt like any other fight i have been in. You can move out of my way now.” Raditz said as the girl didnt move.
The girls expression turned from excited to confused and then to a smile “No not the fight how did it feel to be so close to Rainbow Dash in a fight!” she asked as Raditz was now at the edge of either kicking this kid so hard she will fly across the room or just walk back out and sleep in the streets.
Raditz didnt feel like sleeping on the ground today and he still wanted to see if Goku found out that energy signature. “Look it was neat i got to go to sleep you can ask her yourself. Jeez.” Raditz said as he finally pushed passed her.
As the young girl looked at Raditz she looked down. “Lucky, i would love to be in a fight with Rainbow Dash helping me…” The young girl said as Raditz scoffed and continued to walk away.
As Raditz was about to finish the conversation with this girl he chuckled, “If you like her so much you should make a fan club. Maybe that will get her attention.” Raditz joked as he looked at the girl and saw a huge grin on her face. “Oh god wait no that was a joke-”Raditz started as the young girl didnt hear him
“A Rainbow Dash fan club! That is so smart! I need to tell everyone, we can talk about Rainbow Dashy things! Wear rainbow haired wigs or hats and even have a t-shirt with Rainbows face. And I will be the leader of the fanclub. “President Scootaloo” I like that! Thanks man!” Scootaloo said before Raditz could stop her.
“I-what- huh? Whatever i dont have the energy to deal with this.” Raditz said as he walked passed the living room of the orphanage and went to the bedrooms of the orphanage. The first door to his left was old Sunset’s room.
“O-Oh Raditz I thought you and Goku got lost i was about to go searching for you two how was your first day?” Old Sunset asked as Raditz sighed and looked at her with a tired stare.
“It was long thats all i am going to say of today.” Raditz said as he wa about to walk away but the elderly Sunset stopped him by standing up and walking to him.
“You sure you dont want to talk about it at all? I am sure talking about it will make you feel better.” the old Sunset said as Raditz shook his head. Walking to his and Goku's room Raditz turned the corner and saw Goku was still not there.
“Um thats odd… he should have been here by now. At least if he used the bus to come back which i am sure he would Applejack gave him enough money for a two way trip. He might still be investigating…” Raditz thought as he walked in the bed room and layed down on the bed. Not saying anything he just thought about the day or about the first person to treat him kindly.
Trying to shake the thought of Applejack out of his mind he sighed and turned in the bed ashe faced the wall. As he layed there he remembered something Kakarot said before he got on the bus. “If I am not back by soon then something happened!” Gokus warning went through his head as he looked up at the bed at the door and still didn’t see Goku come in.
“Damn it Now I got to get up and look for this idiot… he better be hurt or dying.” Raditz said as he was being a bit sarcastic.
As Raditz got up and started to walk to the hallway he heard a sort of commotion going on. “Scootaloo give me back my crayons!” A young boy said as Scootaloo ran around the couch
“Sorry Dust but I need this for a important club reason I will give them back later!”Scootaloo said as she ran past Raditz and ran to the bedrooms as a young boy with yellow hair and green skin past Raditz as well.
Raditz turned the corner and saw old Sunset as she was picking up the mess the kids around were making. “Um… I am going to go out to find Kakarot. He hasn’t come back yet and I need to talk to him.” Raditz said as old Sunset looked up from the mess and looked worried
“W-Wait at night? Don’t you think it’s a bit dangerous? The town is large.” Old sunset said as she walked to the tv and turned it off and then turned to Raditz
“Oh I am going to the city actually and-“ before Raditz finished his sentence the elderly sunset stopped him
“The city? Why is Goku there? No way you are walking all the way there, look I will drive you there. It will be faster and we can bond a bit.” Old Sunet said as Raditz cursed himself and then nodded as he was now too tired to fight it.
Sunset
As Sunset and Mrs Book Page walked back to the canterlot castle as they closed the library for the night. They seem to be chatting about the librarians life. “That’s how I met my husband.” Mrs Book Page said as she finished a story up.
Sunset seem to be happy as she heard the story of the old librarians life. She wondered how different it was from the other Mrs Book Page from Equestria. “So do you have any more stories you would like to tell? I am always willing to listen.” Sunset said as Mrs Book Page and Sunset arrived to the Canterlot Castle and started to walk up to their rooms.
Mrs Book Page opened her door and looked at her new firend and neighbor, “perhaps tomorrow, it is a school night after all and you got to get ready for the next day, if you come over the library I can gladly give you some stories and money for your services.” Mrs Book Page said as Sunset smiled.
“Oh you know I will be there.” Sunset said as she and Mrs Book Page waved goodbye for the night. Sunset walked to her room as she reached for her keys and started to open it but as she was about to enter inside Sunset heard two familiar voices.
“Mag, can you please just listen to me, it would have been rude to let them get beat up they are new to the school” Flash said as he wanted Mag to understand.
“It’s not that Flash it’s just that you are not listening to me at all recently, I tell you sunset is bad news you still hangout with her, I tell you don’t jump into the fight you jump into a fight! I don’t want to lose you but i don’t like this at all.
Flash looked at Mag with a sorry face as he tried to find a way to make things better. “Your not mad at me are you?” Flash asked as Mag looked at him.
“No I am not mad, I just want you safe. I don’t want anyone to get between us at all and I want you and me to be happy.” Mag said as she put a hand on Flash’s shoulder.
Flash nodded as he embraced Mag in a hug and Sunset felt a feeling inside of her, jealousy. Again Sunset felt angry and confused, but before she could do or say anything she entered her room and shut the door quietly.
Sunset shut the door and then remembered to what Mrs Book Page said, “you shouldn’t let young love go away from you. You might think “I will have all the time in the world” but take it from this old fossil, love dimmers away once you get older. It’s better to find it now then later”
Sunset thought for a second and smiled as she grew a small plan into her head and it started to blossom.
Rainbow
“Why did we go to the hospital again?” Rainbow asked as Fluttershy was talking to the receptionist.
Fluttershy turned around fast and looked at Rainbow, “because we are checking if that boy is alright or not! Rainbow arnt you worried for him?” Fluttershy asked as Rainbow yawned and shook her head.
“No and why are you, all you heard was bad news from them, if anything we should have left him on the ground.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy gasped.
“Rainbow Dash, I cant believe you are saying that.” Fluttershy said as she looked at Rainbow with shock.
Rainbow looked back with a “really” type of expression but that was her mistake as she looked at fluttershy's eyes the stare was planted all over Fluttershys face, “f-fine we will see what happened to him. Just stop with the eyes.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy smiled and turned back around to face the receptionist.
Raditz
The car was silent as Old Sunset was driving the car Raditz sat looking out the window, he wasn’t thinking of anything he was just staring outside watching the lights go by. “Raditz you do know you can talk to me right?” Old Sunset asked as Raditz turned to her and then back to the window.
Upon seeing the car become quiet again the elder Sunset sighed and thought of a way to get Raditz to open up. “Well my day was quite well, I got to make dinner, have some alone time and help the other orphans with their school work. What about you Raditz?” The elder asked as Raditz saw there was no way out other than to jump out the car.
“It was… fine. I guess.” Was all Raditz respond with as old Sunset looked at him and waited for him to clarify. “I met someone nice today.” Raditz said hesitantly as he heard a quiet awe from the elder. “I got into a fight at school.” Raditz continued as the elder sunset awed a bit sadder, “and we won. Oh and my newest “friends” brother hates me” Raditz finished off as he did air quotes with his fingers.
“Well let’s start from the top, who is this nice person you met?” Old Sunset asked as she stopped at the red light.
As the lights changed for the other side Raditz looked at the elder and then decided to talk a bit more, “she is named Applejack, part of the Apple family. Do you know her?” Raditz asked old Sunset as she seemed to realize the name.
“Oh I know who you mean, nice family. Though they have a bit of pride they still know when they are beat.” Sunset started as the light changed back to green and Sunset started to drive. “You said you met Applejack is your friend? She seems like a nice person, scootaloo and Applejacks younger sister are friends her name is Applebloom.”
“Yeah, I just don’t know if she is truly my friend or just waiting for me to put my guard down to use me… it’s a new feeling to me.” Raditz commented as Sunset looked at him.
“You mean you never had a friend before?” Old Sunset asked as Raditz looked back outside as he thought. He remembered Nappa and Vegeta, but they were more like comrades they had to work together or they would die. He then thought of Turles.
“I had two, my mother and Turles.” Raditz said as he didn’t go on. Elderly Sunset wanted to press on but saw he seemed to be thinking a lot and rather chose to talk about something else.
“So you got into a fight… want to talk about that?” Sunset asked in a more parentng tone. “And did you start it or was it out of self defense?”
Raditz looked at the old Sunset and was reminded of his own mother. “I didn’t start it, me, Kakarot, Applejack and her friend were trying to talk and then they came out of nowhere and they started it.” Raditz said as the elder Sunset sighed a sigh of relief and kept driving.
“So what was their reasoning?” The elder sunset asked as she turned right in the corner, “they had to have a reason to start a fight with you.”
“They were talking about how we need to learn who is boss around the town. I don’t know who they were but it was tough. Luckily Applejack, and two other people jumped in to help us.” Raditz said as the old Sunset looked at him a bit confused.
“Who’s boss? That doesn’t sound like a good thing.” Old Sunset said as Raditz stared outside the window looking for Goku. “At least you’re friends helped you out.”
“Yeah well not sure if that will come to bite me later. And arnt you mad me and Kakarot got into a fight? Celestia was but you, you seem almost relieved.” Raditz said as the elderly sunset nodded
“I am, because I know you and Goku won’t be causing any harm to others, I think you and Goku will actually protect others to help them. That makes me relived that you and him are going to be okay.” The elder Sunset spoke as Raditz felt a bit upset at her comment but also a bit proud.
“Yeah… guess so…” Raditz said as he looked away. The car passed a few more blocks and then turned a left as a park and a nearby hospital was.
“And you mentioned your friend’s brother doesn’t like you?” Sunset asked as she had to slow down a bit for the park nearby. Though it was late there was still a few kids out playing.
“I walked Applejack home today and as we were talking and walking her brother caught us heading to her home and got angry, he then told me that I can’t be near her and then I walked away.” Raditz said as he looked away and didn’t explain the little punch he recived.
“Well I think you did the right thing…” the old Sunset explained as she kept her eyes on the road. “It seems that the brother is a bit over protective and you choosing to walk away is the best outcome there. If you fought him she wouldn’t have been happy, if you just said goodbye there maybe a chance to see your friend again.” The elderly said as Raditz thought about it.
“I guess that is true but… I still have a strange feeling, like it was wrong for me to not fight back. I am suppose to fight anyone in my way but this time I walked away and I felt good.” Raditz said as the old Sunset listened
“It might be your heart telling you it’s time to move on from the old ways and see a better way of life.” The old Sunset said as Raditz thought about it.
Passing the hospital Raditz felt something. Though it was small and faint he felt it, “Kakarot!”
Raditz yelled as the elder stopped the car.
“You see him where?” She asked as Raditz looked at the hospital and pointed there.
“I know he is over there in that hospital. He has to be he is the only one that would have a energy like that!” Raditz said as the elder looked confused.
“Raditz I am not getting what you mean, how do you know he is there out of all places?” Asked the old Sunset as Raditz looked at the hospital and nodded.
“I have zero clue but I know it I can feel it. My brother is there and he is hurt now drive.” Raditz demanded, as Sunset was going to protest Raditz yelled out, “DRIVE!”
Sunset
As Sunset thought deeply into her steps of her plan to get more power over the people she thought about the people who can be problems in the future, “There are the two brothers… the shy girl and the cowgirl. And finally Mag… I need to take one down at a time but how....”Sunset asked herself as she walked near the blanket she had on the ground.
Thinking on how the kids would listen to the rumors she made about the two brothers she soon realized that the kids will listen to anything they hear, they want drama and are hungry for more. “Who would be the weakest link to break… The brothers have a small group of friends so they are going to be a bit harder, and if what i saw right now could grow i can break mag before the end of this semester… It's going to be hard but i will do it. I can do it. Since i can't find any information right now… maybe i can find something on the others as a second plan” Sunset thought as she opened the curtains a small bit just enough to look outside.
Sunset looked outside and saw most of the lights at the Canterlot castle were all off as the residents were all likely to be asleep. Seeing this Sunset got ready and grabbed her backpack and walked outside of her room. Walking outside of the room Sunset felt the night air flow through her hair as she looked towards the city and started to walk toward the city.
Sunset looked around the area as she thought of a place to find which was the right way, soon looking to the outskirts of the town and started to walk toward the area. “Though it was far away the trip will be worth it.” Sunset thought as she walked toward the last place she thought.
Rainbow
Sitting in the waiting room she was quiet and a bit upset about the idea of having to wait for a kid that sounds like he has nothing but trouble following him everywhere but since Fluttershy is so interested in helping others. She didn't want to make her friend upset so she didn't say anything.
Fluttershy on the other hand was a bit worried as she seemed to be tap her foot on the ground a bit as she looked back and forth as she secretly scratched Ángels little head. Ángel hiding in her backpack seemed to enjoy the gesture his owner was giving him, as the little bunny stayed calm the elevator doors to the waiting room opened as a young boy with long crazy hair entered, “Where the hell is he!” Raditz asked as the elderly Sunset walked in after the panicked boy.
“I still dont understand how you can “feel” Goku… are you sure your okay Raditz we can take a seat here.” the Elderly Sunset said as Raditz pulled away from her arm that was previously on his shoulder.
Seeing the anger from Raditz, Fluttershy started to shake in fear as Rainbow on the other hand was too tired to want to deal with this brothers anger, “Oh, oh great… come on Fluttershy we are leaving now.” Rainbow demanded quietly as Fluttershy broke out of her fear and looked at Rainbow.
“But, Rainbow we still dont know if Goku is fine or not. We are the ones who called and the doctors might need to ask us questions on what happened.” Fluttershy said as Rainbow had put her finger infront of her mouth to quiet Fluttershy but it was too late.
Radtiz turned to the two girls among the others who were waiting and he knew exactly who said the name “Goku” though it was quiet he barely heard it. “H-hey you two wait! I know one of you knows where Kakarot is! So start talking!” Raditz demanded as Fluttershy made a small noise and hid behind Rainbow. While Rainbow stood still just staring at Raditz and giving him a glare. ”Well? Start talking damn it!” Raditz demanded with a stronger tone.
“We do know where your brother is but we did not hurt him. In fact we called the ambulance and brought him here so you should be thanking us.” Rainbow said as she looked at Raditz not taking off her glare.
“Ambulance? You mean someone stronger than Kakarot was able to beat him up so badly that he needed to be brought here?” Raditz asked as the elderly Sunset now seemed a bit worried.
“Raditz let them explain more. If Goku is here hurt then all we can do is wait and see if he is fine. So relax a bit and let's hear what happened. They must be as scared as we are. Plus this isnt the place to get upset, there are others around who want some quiet. So lower your voice okay Raditz.” the elderly sunset said as she put her hand back on Raditz's shoulder.
Looking around Raditz saw parents and children waiting from other doctors or their love ones to be let go of the hospital. “Fine… i will do as you say but they better be willing to tell me everything and Kakarot better be fine at the end of all of this.” Raditz said as he looked at the ground next to him.
Sitting next to them Raditz thought in his mind wondering, “someone stronger than a saiyan… a low level sayian yes but still stronger…”
Sunset
The cold night air pushes against Sunsets hair as she walks alone in the sidewalk. Seeing cars drive pass her and party people staying up and celebrating or just staying up Sunset looks at the people and their friendship. A part of her wishing she could have the same feeling with someone else. She then shook her head getting rid of the ridiculous thoughts. “Focus Sunset. Friendship is nothing but a weakness. Only true power and strength prevail in the end…”
As Sunset passed Two people she heard them laugh, to block them out by thinking of what to look for specifically. Until she thought of the portal will it ever open again or will it remain closed. Would Celestia try to come and find her?
Being deep into thought Sunset didn’t realize she had made it back to the little lot of area she first saw the two brothers. “Okay… looking for anything. Odd. There has to be something here. Something…” Sunset said as she looked around.
Looking around sunset didn’t see anything but as the half moon is revealed from the cloud Sunset sees the grass is in a weird shape. It’s a circle with four stars in the middle. At first seeing this was a bit weird but Sunset focused back on her task. Looking on the ground Sunset sees nothing but some grass and dirt.
“Damn it this was a waste of time!” Sunset shouted to no one as she kicked the ground. “Now what… guess I have to stick to the old methods.”
Sunset turned around and started to walk as she hit something with her foot and fell on the ground. “Agh! What the heck!” Sunset said as she turned to see what she fell on and saw a phone.
Picking up the phone Sunset examined it. It seemed new other than the dirt that was on it. Tapping the middle it had no lock or wall paper. Finding this odd Sunset went deeper into the phone only to see that there was no new apps, and it only had a few contacts. Looking into the list of contacts Sunset saw the Mamés Vegeta, Nappa, Frieza, Ginyu, and one more Turles. Though the names of the others seemed to have been recent it seemed that the one named Turles was last contacted many years ago.
“Why would someone leave their phone here… could it be one of theirs. Well either way I am going to hold onto this. Just for safe keeping.” Sunset told herself as she smiled and then proceeded to put the phone into her pocket.
Raditz
Raditz looked at the roof of the room he was in as he couldn’t believe that Kakarot was injured so badly that he was in a hospital bed right now. “So now do you see how we didn’t do anything to him but actually helped him?” Rainbow said as Raditz was knocked out of his thoughts and into reality.
“Wha- I mean yes I see. It’s just odd.” Raditz said as the elderly Sunset walked back to the group with some papers as she seemed to be putting her information on it.
Fluttershy looked at Raditz tail as she thought of the tail Goku had. For some reason Rainbow failed to tell Raditz that specific part. “Who would hurt such a nice kid like Goku?” The elderly Sunset asked as she started to write into the papers.
“Nice? That’s one way to put it…” Rainbow said as she looked through her phone screen. Upon hearing this the elderly looked up and torward the rainbow haired girl.
“And what would that mean?” Elderly Sunset asked seeming a bit upset that this kid would say something that makes it seem like Goku is bad.
Raditz wasn’t as upset but he didn’t like the tone either. “Kakarot had been nothing but nice to everyone, though it disgusts me he is still kind. So which action of his made you think he is anything but nice?” Raditz asked as Rainbow looked at him
“Don’t act all high and mighty I heard what you and Goku used todo in the other schools you and him went to. We all heard of the fact that you two took pleasure of tearing friendships apart and hurting others. I don’t know why Applejack keeps hanging out with you two. You are nothing but trouble and one day she will get hurt because of you two!” Rainbow said as the old Sunset seemed a bit shocked at this.
Raditz was confused at first but then his confusion turned to anger as he heard that it might be him and Goku who hurt Applejack. The thought made him angry enough to be seen on his face. The elderly Sunset kept a cool head and was able to act fast. “I don’t know what you believe is the truth or what you heard but I do know it’s lies. Goku and Raditz have been nothing but good, maybe Raditz here has had trouble working with others but he is still patient and even becoming better.” The elderly Sunset said as Raditz was trying to stay calm
“If they are so good why did they get into problems with the Shadow Crystal clan? I had to jump in to help out Applejack!” Rainbow said as the elderly Sunset realized this was one of the two people Raditz mentioned helped him and Goku, “not only that but if they are not the cause of the problem why was Goku beaten up and thrown over the rail at the mall?” Rainbow continued.
Before the elderly Sunset could bring some sense or a idea of a reasoning Raditz got up and looked at Rainbow. As Raditz clenched his fist he growled and still managed not to punch Rainbow dash in the face. “Look girl. The only reason why I am not beating you to a pulp right now is due to Applejack. She is one of the only people that treats me like I am not a monster and for that I actually care for her. I haven’t done anything to you and neither has Kakarot The most we even done to you is fight along side you. And yet you believe anything any of these pigs say! It’s sad really, to see that on this world you are judged by lie. If that little girl knew how you treat others and show your true colors I bet she would be heartbroken So I suggest instead of hearing lies and rumors you hear the truth from the source before you make someone angry and or cause someone’s hero to become a disappointment.” Raditz shouted as he looked at Rainbow.
Fluttershy was hiding behind her backpack whimpering as Rainbow was a bit surprised at what he said and then returned to her calm demeanor. The edlerly sunset was about to stop him but didn’t have the chance. “Raditz we shouldn’t say stuff like that and plus there are others here be respectful at their expense.” Sunset said as Raditz turned to her a bit shocked
“But didn’t you hear what she said!” Raditz asked as he pointed to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow looking away as she kept what he said in mind.
“Yes but remember they have the same ammount of right to kindness as you do, just because one treats you badly doesn’t mean you should treat them the same.” Sunset said as Raditz looked at her. “You shouldn’t stoop as low as your enemies or else you lose what honor your have.”
Raditz silently nodded as he went to Sunsets other side and sat there quiet, thinking. “... she’s right… mom told me the same before.” Raditz thought as he listened to the elder Sunset
“Now Rainbow, I know I am not your mother but I have to say that listening to rumors can be a bad idea. Each rumor has a major flaw or lie. And if what I heard the rumor you heard was true then I can assure you that those rumors are all lies.” The elderly Sunset said as Rainbow looked at her.
“Oh? How can you do that, are they your grandchildren?” Rainbow asked as she looked at the elderly.
“No they are not my children. I am their guardian, and the way I can prove that they haven’t done any of the things you speak of. They are new comers from another city one still in Equestron but in the outskirts of the country. If they truly caused so much trouble it would reach the town of ours then they should have been on the news or spoken of. Today was their first day in school.” The edlerly Sunset explained
Raditz stayed quiet as he heard the conversation and then looked at Rainbow Dash who seemed to be a bit confused at the new information she had been told. As the group had gotten quiet Raditz thought that he need to break the silence
“I thank you for making sure my little brother didn’t die.” Raditz said as he struggled to keep the disgust down. Rainbow was confused at this kindness as Fluttershy smiled and nodded
“Yeah… don’t worry about it…” Rainbow said as she felt awkward at this situation. As the edlerly Sunset finished writing her information on the paper she started to walk to the desk.
As Sunset was about to place the paper the doors to the patients room opens. Goku stumbles out in a pacients uniform looking very worn out and tired but somehow managing to stumble his way out. “Raditz…” Goku said as he stepped away from the doctor who was trying to stop Goku from moving.
As everyone looked at the beaten Goku some how stumbling toward Raditz a few nurses and doctors kept trying to stop him only for Goku to gently but effectively push them aside “Doctor, why haven’t you put this pacient back onto bed!” A nurse asked as the doctor was trying todo just that.
“I did but he is not stopping no matter what I try he keeps moving!” The doctor said as he tried to pull Goku back.
“I need to tell Raditz!” Goku shouted as he grabbed on the door and fought against the doctors pulls.
The three teens looked at this as they saw Goku trying to get away. Raditz got up and went to Goku. “Kakarot, what the hell are you doing!” Raditz asked as Goku looked at him.
“Raditz, the shadow crystal clan! I met the boss! And I can sense he is coming. Sombra is coming!” Goku said as Raditz grabbed Gokus arm and helped him up as the doctors stopped seeing that maybe someone Goku knew could help him get to the medical bed.
“What! He is coming here?” Raditz asked as he almost let Goku fall but still grabbed him. “How do you know?”
Fluttershy pulled Rainbow to the group and the edlerly Sunset walked to the Two brothers. “He is a few blocks away i can sense it. The cold of his evil heartless nature and heat of his anger. He is too strong for us to do one on one. But maybe together we stand a chance” Goku said as Raditz looked at the group and brought Goku to Fluttershy to help out.
“Kakarot don’t act hero now. Cant you see what state you are in. You can barely even stumble here how do you expect to fight right now?” Raditz asked as he truly didn’t want to hear that this Sombra guy was stronger than him.
“Raditz I can fight just let me help! He is too strong for one of us to fight him alone. But if we work together we can beat him… he might not know how to cover his energy so his strength right now is at his strongest he can be beaten by us two I know it” Goku responded as he tried to get up from Fluttershy's aid but couldn’t
Raditz looked at his younger brother as he now needed to think of a plan. He looked at the people around him and got a idea. Raditz smirked.
Sunset
The doors to the gas stop open with a ding as Sunset enters. The gas station is mostly empty as some old music is playing for the background noise and the cashier is sitting behind the counter on his phone as he seemed to be dying of boredom. Walking to the counter sunset put the phone down.
“Do you have anything that will give this thing more power?” Sunset asked as the cashier looked at the phone and at Sunset.
“By more power do you mean charge it?” The cashier asked as Sunset seemed confused and then nodded, “well we have some charging cables right below you. I think you need the ihoof charger.”
Sunset looked below her and saw the cables. Grabbing one she put it down and looked at him. “So how much would it cost?” Sunset asked as the man looked at her and then started to go through the system and got the number.
“It’s 5.99. Cash or credit?” The cashier asked as Sunset looked a in her pockets and pulled out the 20 she got from the hotel.
Taking the 20 he broke it down and gave her back the rest of her money. Sunset took the money and took the charger and walked out of the gas stop. “So this cable charges this box? Weird…” Sunset said to herself as she walked to the canterlot Castle.
On her way there Sunset decided to look more into the phone. Going through the names again she tried to call the one named Vegeta. Ringing in her hand it rang and then gave a voice box. “Sorry but the number you are trying to call seems to not exist.” The phone said as Sunset looked confused.
“Doesnt exist? Then why is it here under a name?” Sunset asked in a mumble as she went to the past messages. The messages seemed blanked. “This phone doesn’t have anything!” Sunset shouted as she looked up and looked at the moon. Though not full it was starting to return to its first cycle.
Raditz
Thinking about the situation Raditz found himself in the elevator heading down to the first floor. The dings of the elevator was the only noise he heard the silence helping him think of the plan.
Upon the doors opening Raditz walked outside of the elevator as he headed to the front doors. Many pacients and people enjoying their night or worried for love ones in the hospital. Some just here for check ups.
Stepping outside Raditz crossed his arms as he tried to sense for Sombras energy. Though he was new to this technique it seems that his Saiyan body was still leading and adapting to the new techniques.
Focusing on the energy around him the citizens and the people around him Raditz could sense their energy. Although small and weak he sensed the good people that walked in and out of the hospital.
The wind blew as Radtiz’s eyes widen in shock. “Th-that power- its… cold and enormous! Is this sombra… it has to be. And-“ Raditz jumped out of his own thoughts only to scream out. “EVERYONE HIT THE FLOOR!”
A red blast came from the darkness as Raditz jumped out of the way barely missing him only to hit a elderly man behind him. Upon contact the blast exploded injuring more citizens and pushing Raditz away from the front doors and onto the street of the drop off area.
Raditz heard a laugh and looked up as he saw the Scarlet eyes of Sombra as he steps out of the darkness to his left and right are Phoenix and Wind Striker. “So you must be Raditz.” Sombras spoke as Raditz got up and looked behind him seeing the damage and the injured people.
Raditz turned to Sombra and scowled “if you are planning to kill someone tell it to their face. Otherwise you have no honor. This people behind me were not informed or even given a fair fight, your power outranks them and in my eyes your just picking on the weak!” Raditz shouted in anger as Phoenix looked at him.
Sombra looked at the citizens who were trying to recover or checking up on one another. “They are at the front step of the hospital. I think they will be fine… or at least the ones who didn’t die.” Sombra said as Raditz tried to stay calm still thinking of the plan.
“So what is your plan here Sombra. Going to set your lap dogs on me?” Raditz said as Phoenix growled.
“We are not his lap dogs, we are his right hands men and if you truly think you can beat him then your in fo-“ Phoenix started as Sombra put his hand up and Phoenix went silent.
“Now. Phoenix he is just trying to get under your skin. Stay calm, As for you Raditz I will not let these two do my work against you this time. I will be fighting you. Wind Striker go make sure no one interferes in this fight Phoenix make sure Raditz doesn’t run. I want him to realize that his new opponent will be the king of this new age.” Sombra ordered as Wind striker nodded.
“I will do what you ask of Sombra.” Was all Wind striker said as he started to walk toward the entrence of the hospital moving anyone that was hurt into the hospital. Phoenix smirked and crossed his arms and he walked past sombra and between Raditz and wind striker. Raditz now surrounded.
“Oh believe me Sombra I wouldn’t run from you. I know I am strong enough to beat you here…” Raditz stated as he and Sombra both stared at one another. Sombra smiled and then with speed that Raditz could barely keep up with he felt a kick to the back of his leg and then felt a hand grab his hair and pull it back forcing Raditz head back.
Raditz saw Sombra looking down on him, “you can feel it no? Although I don’t know where this power came from I know I am not to be trifled with.” Sombra said confidently as Raditz although shaken at first soon got to his senses and then threw a energy blast as Sombra. Hitting Sombra point blank Sombra let go of Raditz hair.
Taking this chance to get some space between Sombra and himself Raditz pushed off the ground and rolled forward. Turning around to see Sombra Raditz smirked. That smirk turned into a look of shock as Sombra walked past the smoke of the energy blast and sighed.
His face having a few scratches and marks on it as he had a expression of disappointment. “Seems that you will be like everyone else. Weak and a waste of time.” Sombra said as Raditz tried to cover his shock with a expression of anger. Charging at Sombra Raditz threw a punch at his head.
Dodging the punch Sombra threw a punch back at Raditz’s side. Although making contact Raditz used the motion of the punch to twirl around and give a elbow right to Sombras head. Hitting him right on the ear.
With a grunt Sombra heard a ringing noise on his left ear and struggled to see where Raditz went. As Raditz saw Sombra stunned for a moment he grabbed Sombras head and kneed it as hard as he could. Sombra stumbled backwards as Raditz went on the attack, Raditz threw a punch to Sombra’s face and then threw a hard kick to Sombra’s side. Sombra fell to the ground as Raditz smirked above him. “How sad that Kakarot lost to someone like you.” Raditz said as he kicked Sombra flat on the ground.
“Maybe I won’t need the plan at all… maybe I can beat this bastard by myself.” Raditz thought to himself as he charged a attack on his right hand. Lifting the blast over his head Raditz smirked and then looked at Phoenix to see his expression.
Phoenix and Wind Striker looked calm, it seemed that they were not worried. Something wasn’t right and Raditz knew it. Looking back at Sombra he charged the energy ball faster . “I am ending this now!” Raditz yelled as he then threw his hand down with force.
Before Raditz could blast Sombra the downed teen turned around and grabbed Raditz’s hand. Shocked at the recovery Raditz tried to shoot it but then felt his arm Being twisted. Sombra moved Raditz’s arm to the side and the energy blast flew out of his hand hitting the wall of the hospital. “W-what!” Raditz shouted as he then sensed it. Sombra’s energy level was rising. With every second passing Sombras energy level was towering over Raditz’s
Sombra got up as he then started to crush Raditz’s arm and forced him on his knees. Sombra smiled as Raditz was in disbelief and shock “That expression on your face makes me feel as if you thought that was all I had in me… I maybe wrong about you you actually have proven me wrong on your strength. I’m actually impressed.” Sombra said as he looked at his own hand and made it to a fist.
Raditz saw this next attack and reacted quickly. Before sombra could throw the punch Raditz moved his left knee to make a kneeling stance and then pushed off the ground with his left knee. As he used the movement of the first part he put his right foot on sombras chest and kicked off pushing sombra back a bit and releasing Raditz’s hand.
Raditz used this opportunity to attack again. He punched at sombras body and face. Sombra just took all the attacks as he was slowly being pushed back.
Sombra then dodged a punch to his face and grabbed Raditz arm throwing Raditz over his sholder. As Raditz was thrown he rolled and then landed on his feet as he looked up he felt the punch of Sombra’s fist on his cheek.
Raditz flew back again into Phoenix’s arms, “he isn’t done yet get back in there!” Phoenix shouted as he threw Raditz back to Sombra. Sombra threw another punch and then another. Hitting Raditz over and over again.
Raditz tried to block and dodge but couldn’t as he felt the force of Sombras attacks. He then saw Sombra vanish as he move faster than Raditz could sense or see but Raditz already knew the plan. Dodging to the side Sombras foot barely missed Raditz’s back.
Seeing this opening Raditz charged a small energy ball in his right hand and punched sombras gut with it. Uno making contact the ball blasted on Sombras gut. Though not blasting through it Raditz noticed it was as if he punched Sombra and did damage on him.
Sombra shook his head as he looked at Raditz in shock, “I actually felt it and it winded me? How!” Sombra asked himself as he looked up only to be hit by a similar attack to his cheek. Raditz smirked seeing this effect on Sombra
As he threw punch and kick he managed to give Sombra a few beatings. And with a kick to the head Sombra tumbled to the ground. “Taste the power of the saiyans!” Raditz yelled as he charged up his energy blast. “DOUBLE SUNDAY!” Raditz yelled out as he blasted Sombra as hard as he could.
Phoenix and Wind Striker both saw this and winced at the attack. As Raditz kept blasting he looked in shock as he saw a figure walking in the blast towards him. “What the!” Was all Raditz could say until he felt something grab his wrist and knee him in the gut.
Falling to one knee the blast stopped and Sombra stood tall against Raditz. Both hands in his. “H-how! That was my strongest attack!” Raditz said as Sombras torn shirt barely hanged on his skin.
“That was your strongest. I won’t lie it did hurt but once I went full power I barely felt the blast. Now it’s my turn.” Sombra said as he charged a energy blast on his hand.
Raditz looked in horror knowing his blast can kill him. Closing his eyes Raditz perpared for the pain. As he closed his eyes he didn’t feel a blast. Opening them Sombra looked at Raditz and sighed. “Using a blast that strong will kill you for sure. And in all truth I want a bit more fun…” Sombra said as he canceled his blast and pulled his fist back
Raditz saw Sombras next move and put his left arm infront of him to block it only to be punched right on it. A audible crack is heard as Raditz was thrown back by the blast of the hit.
Flying to the street Raditz rolled and tumbled a bit as Sombra started to walk to him Phoenix following Sombra. Raditz got up holding his left wrist as he felt blood dripping from it. He definitely broke it.
Raditz got ready for another attack as Sombra saw his wound and smirked. Vanishing infront of Raditz’s eyes Raditz felt a kick to his left arm as he was thrown to the side again this time laying on the ground. “Damn it seems that I may have broken the young man… Phoenix. I think he won’t run you can finish him off if you like.” Sombra said as he sighed and pushed his hand through his hair.
Phoenix chuckled and started to walk to Raditz’s unmoving body. “So this is how you die hm? Wounded by the king and killed by his right hand man. I think this is a great death.” Phoenix spoke not sure if Raditz was even conscious. Phoenix shoved Raditz to his side with his foot onlu to see a energy blast in Raditz’s hand.
Sombra seeing this tried to warm Phoenix, “Phoenix! DODGE!” Sombra shouted but it was too late.
“SINGLE SUNDAY!” Shouted Raditz as he blasted right at Phoenix. Though it wasn’t as strong as it could be due to his one arm being broken and his energy low in the battle Raditz still made contact on Phoenix injuring the senior.
As Phoenix flew back his body was burned from the attack, “y-you… bast… Ugh.” Phoenix studdered as he passed out on the spot. Sombra ran to his friends aid as he looked at the damage. Seeing Phoenix still breathing Sombra growled.
Raditz smirked, “take… that…” he managed to spit out as he slowly got on his feet and held his left arm though not broken he could definitely feel pin from
It.
Sombra turned to Raditz and with unimaginable speed and power. Proceeded to punch and Kick Raditz breaking and damaging him.
A kick to the gut made Raditz spit blood, then a punch to the wounded arm to make Raditz feel more pain and finally a small energy blast to Raditz point blank.
Raditz yelled in pain as he took the blast head on. As the blast dissipated Sombra saw Raditz a few feet away on a curb.
Raditz could barely move as he struggled to get up. “Damn it… did they not follow the damn plan! It’s not that hard to dial just three damn numbers!” Raditz thought as he looked up and saw Sombra above him. “Oh shit!” Raditz thought as he didn’t know Sombra got so close.
“I think now is a good chance to dispose of you. Wind Striker take Phoenix and head to our dojo I will finish this idiot and the other soon.” Sombra commanded as Wind Striker had already picked up Phoenix and slowly was walking away from the fight.
“You know that blast was ment for you… too bad.” Raditz said as he looked at Sombra dead in the eyes.
Growling Sombra lifted his arm up and charged a blast up. In the distance a siren was wailing as Sombra stopped and Radtiz smiled. “About goddamn time!” Raditz thought, “just need to stall him a bit longer I can do this.”
Sombra looked up as he didn’t want to be captured by the cops. Even if they couldn’t hurt him he didn’t want to deal with more people tonight. “Well if I can’t kill both of you I will just kill one!” Sombra said as he looked at Raditz.
“W-wait!” Raditz shouted as he put one arm up to stop Sombra although it would do nothing. “If you kill me now you will never be able to fight me in my strongest form!” Raditz yelled out as he didn’t have any other idea other than to bluff.
“Strongest form? You mean to tell me I been fighting you in your weakest? Why!” Sombra asked as Raditz smirked, knowing he got Sombras attention and that he is getting him to stop on his killing moves.
“Y-yes! My strongest form. You see me and my brother here are actually at our weakest. We haven’t eaten, trained or even gotten used to this area. Not only that but we were recently injuried by past events and your goons! If you let us go and give us a month to train and get stronger you can fight us at our fullest!” Raditz explained as he saw Sombras brain working.
“And why would I let you go now if I can kill you here?” Sombra asked as the sirens were getting closer.
“If you want to be a king that is feared you wouldn’t fight a enemy at their weakest. In fact you would strike fear to your servants if you fight us at your strongest. Hell if you make your two friends stronger as well your empire will be feared by many! That is what you want, no? You want power?” Raditz said as Sombra seemed to think on it.
As the first cop car arrived at the scene the two cops got out of the car and saw Raditz under Sombra and Sombra having his arm up as if he was going to attack the kid below him.
“Freeze!” Ordered the officer. Sombra didn’t seem to care about the officers order. Rasing his right hand and aiming it at the police he charged a blast and fired it killing the cops and destroying the car.
“I know your playing me but your right. I want power and only by defeating you and your brother at your best may I accomplish that. You have a month. Train, eat and heal as much as you want… by the time winter break comes you and your brother will be dead and my empire will rise.” Sombra said as he backed away from Raditz and ran into the night.
Raditz sighed as he heard more cop cars arriving. Now knowing there was a time limit to win Raditz smirked as he saved his and his brothers life.
Before passing out on the curb Raditz saw a Rainbow and cyan blur infront of him as it seemed to try to wake him up.
