Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction / Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Saiyan Foster Father ❯ Nappa's delusion; Radditzu's solution ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: I don’t own DBZ. Toriyama and Toei animation co do. I own Atomique aka Tomique, Jeannie and others except for Christine. This is not for profit! I don’t' get paid for this!

Notes: This is part ofa sequence that shows Radditzu and Tomique's first time while she was human. Before he even took her as a mate, he sought to protect her from Nappa claiming her. Jeannie had hoped to get rid of Atomique by convincing Nappa that Atomique wanted him. So Nappa tried to rape Atomique till Radditzu stepped in. The only way for Atomique to survive was to give herself to Radditzu. Bejita, the Z fighters and her friends would not be able to get there in time because Nappa was watching. This scene is added for more Radditzu/Nappa detail.

Protection of the Saiyan kind  

Within a few hours she had washed and showered. She managed to sleep a bit, then awakened in a Capsule Corps bedroom. Stretching, Atomique climbed out of bed, then hobbled over to find her clothes had been cleaned and neatly patched.

She redressed in her State Alchemist's uniform, hooking the pocketwatch at her hip. Then she drew on the gloves that held the transmutation circles in the palms. Mustang and Elric's suggestions had come to this step. Yet with all her vaunted transmutation of carbon into plastics, she had barely held her own against those warriors. Nevertheless, she had stopped that warrior from killing her. Two years ago, she wouldn't have stood a chance even with her Talisman.

She clicked the back of her watch, securing the Atomic Talisman into place. Then she wove her hair into a braided bun, letting the rest fall down around her shoulders. Part of her was curious about those Saiyans, especially the one who had bothered her. Radditzu was his name. He was Goku's brother, long lost, yet what did she know about him?

From Gohan's memories he was a ruthless bloodthirsty bastard with no remorse. One could complain Bejita was that way, but he had a wife and child some 15 years later. How would he reacclimatize them to this world, she wondered. This would have to wait for a while, so she crept downstairs after closing the door to the guestroom.

On her way she passed through the main dome. She overheard voices of two people talking animatedly. It was Goku and Radditzu, to her amazed surprise. Before she could investigate, she felt Christine's hand grab her from behind. Her friend teased, "I wouldn't go in there if I were you. It's a Son family reunion…"

"Don’t' SCARE me like that!" Atomique complained, glaring at her friend.

Christine apologized, pointing to the nearby doorway where she heard voices echoing from. They remotely sounded like Goku and someone else in the living room. "Sorry, but Prince's orders. Nobody's to bother Goku while he's getting introduced to Radditzu…"

"How long did I sleep?" yawned the Alchemist.

Christine walked her over towards the living room area, saying, "Actually most of the night, and part of the day. Goku's been talking to him since early this morning when he came over to come get you…"

"My boys…" she asked.

"They're with Gohan and Videl," said Christine, patting her shoulder. "Don't worry."

That thought made Atomique uneasy. Seeing her frown, Christine nudged her. "What gives?" she asked.

"Nothing… it's just I feel like I'm not around them enough… there's a lot of lost time to make up for,' said Atomique.

"Hey, don't sweat it. They can't be safer," said Christine. "Or are you worried about that Nappa guy?"

"Actually…" she trailed off. "Yes. I am… Radditzu seems to have SOME sense of honor, but both of them give me the creeps…"

Christine heard a bleeping over her scouter. Raising her fingers to the buttons she tapped open the link. "Uh, yeah… she's awake Sire. No… okay… you what? Okay I'll bring her in…"

"A voice from your commanding officer?" Atomique teased Christine.

Her friend gave her a wry grin, and then motioned for the Carbon Alchemist to follow. Both women approached the archway leading to the main living room area, then strode through. Several couches and armchairs were positioned around a large plasma screen television. Occupying one sofa was Goku, while Bejita sat in one of the comfortable recliners. Right next to Goku sat Radditzu, still wearing his armor and scouter. Dark eyes fixed onto Atomique the moment Christine urged her in.

"Here she is, safe and sound, and refreshed, Sire," Christine motioned.

At sight of Atomique standing in the doorway, Goku grinned. He waved to her, calling, "Hey, sleepyhead!"

Radditzu's dark eyes fixed on her. Bejita sat nearby, steepling his fingers. "Well, you're finally awake… took you damn long enough…"

Goku launched himself off the sofa, and bounded halfway across the room. He caught her up in a bear hug, swinging her around, as he laughed, "I was worried sick! The boys were also!"

"Hey, I can't BREATH!" she gasped. She flushed with embarrassment and pushed away against his hug. Seeing her struggling, Radditzu automatically leapt to his feet and rushed over to grab Goku's shoulder.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Radditzu gave him a horrified look. "Let that female go at ONCE!"

"Haven't you seen a HUG before?" Goku laughed, letting Atomique go. She dropped to the floor, grabbing her neck. Radditzu stood immediately over her, glaring at his brother.

"Radditzu, don't be a fool. As disgusting as their customs are, you must learn to accept them, if you're to live successfully on Chikyuu," Bejita said, glaring at Radditzu. "Now stop being an ass."

"I wasn't hurting her. That was just a way of showing affection. But I forgot you guys don't do that sort of thing," Goku said. He helped her to her feet, and she dusted herself off.

"Do you have something to say to the female, Radditzu?" asked Bejita.

"I have a name," said Atomique annoyed. "DO you remember it, your majesty?"

"Greetings, female," Radditzu said as he stood nearby.

She spun around to see Radditzu standing only three feet away. His arms crossed over his chest, and from a height of nearly seven feet he smiled down at her with a set of rather sharp teeth visible. The canines were especially pronounced, giving Atomique the impression that he was eyeing her for more than just a casual glance. Heat burned in his dark eyes, bottomless and devoid of any reflection of her. "So, we meet again, little one. I am relieved to see you are all right… after your ordeal."

"Um… I uh… I'm sorry about nailing you in the face, but I don't like it when people tell me what to do… when I already know," she said, glancing up at him.

"No hard feelings, female," Radditzu smirked, glancing down at her. He strode forwards, causing Atomique to back nervously into Goku.

"No, it's okay. He won't hurt you… he's cool," Goku said, nudging her forwards. "I'd like to introduce Atomique-san, Radditzu… she's living at my place and taking care of the house… I know you guys got off on the wrong foot, but my brother has something he wants to say…"

"So, you ARE brothers?" she raised a brow.

"Indeed we are, Tomique-san. Allow me to formally greet you in a manner far more proper than our last encounter," he said. Radditzu dropped onto one massive knee, extending his hand forwards with his other across his chest.

"Is that a Saiyan custom?" she asked Goku, bowing slightly as was the Chinese or Asian custom.

"I think he wants to shake your hand," said Goku. She did so, reaching out to touch her hand to his. Radditzu lightly took her hand in his enormous one, pressing his widow's peak covered forehead to the bottom.

"I must apologize for the abruptness of our first encounter, Tomique-san," he said. She chuckled and shivered wondering why he'd mispronounced her name.

"Don't let it happen again…" she trailed off. Electricity seemed to tingle in his rough skin lightly massaging her hand in his grip.

"You did as you had promised, Tomique-san, you reunited me with Kakkarot. And for that I owe you a debt of gratitude," Radditzu continued, glancing up at her. The green lens of the scouter shielded one of his eyes, while the other gazed up at her.

"That means he owes you one," said Goku.

"I figured that!" she said in frustration. "But really it's okay… Radditzu… I mean you saved my can from the Destroyers…"

"Radditzu, stop groveling and stand up," Bejita snorted.

"Yes sire," he said, letting go of her hand and standing to his full height that dwarfed her. She bowed her head to Bejita when she saw Radditzu's slight warning gaze.

"Thanks for saving my butt back there, and your hospitality, but may I ask a question?" Atomique said.

"What is it?" Bejita asked.

"What does this all mean? I mean Goku and Radditzu…"

"He's getting to it," Goku said. "Why don't you sit down?"

She saw the chair he indicated, and sat down in it. To her surprise, Radditzu strode over and stood at her left shoulder, arms folded as if standing guard. Blinking, she stared up at him. "Um… aren't you going to sit down…"

"It's not seemly so to do, in the Prince's presence…" he snorted, glancing straight ahead. Yet why he stood behind HER baffled her.

"Doubtless you have many questions. And since you were the one who in a way facilitated the ease of this, I owe you an explanation," Bejita said, folding his gloved hands.

"He means he's gonna try and get them acclimated to earth," Goku said with a grin.

"Is that wise?" she asked. "No offense… but…"

"At least you are honest, woman. But make no mistake; they will remain here at the compound. If it's your children you fear for…"

"Not them, but the Z fighters," said Atomique. "I don't think Radz here would do anything stupid. But Nappa…"

"Fair enough. He's busy guarding my son. Nappa may not be bright, but he knows the consequences for disobedience. But you two must pledge NOT to interfere in my reclamation of my warriors. Don't let ANY of your fellow Z senshi interfere for at least a few months. That's all I ask. Stay OUT of my business…" said Bejita.

"Okay, but it ain't gonna be easy," Goku said. "But will Radditzu have to stay here? I mean he COULD come and visit me…"

"Brother, I have my duties. You are permitted to visit me here. There is MUCH we have to catch up on," Radditzu said, glancing at Goku.

"He knows the price of obedience as well, Kakkarot," said Bejita quietly. "Nappa and Radditzu will live here at Capsule as my security guards. Christine and Jeannie will train with them, and assist them with acculturation…"

"I could help," Goku beamed.

"And you will as well. But what of the children?"

"I can care for them," said Atomique. "When he brings himself over I'll care for them. After all I need the quality time…"

"Great, and Goten can come with, and he and trunks and your boys can play together!" said Goku with a grin. "But they're still training, and so are you…"

"You may take meals together, to acclimate yourself," Bejita said. "But Radditzu must remain here. He'll be in charge of security for the perimeter, and for any visitors. You'll have time to get to know one another when I permit it. But considering your son's difficulty."

"Oh yeah I forgot. Gohan doesn't much… well… he's not nuts about Saiyans," said Goku.

"Why?" Radditzu asked.

"I agree," she said softly. "None of the Z fighters are used to Saiyans. Especially ones they once saw as enemies…"

"Good then. It's settled. But there is another thing. I know Kakkarot is training you, but my wife has requested your assistance with a certain project. Since you're a specialist with plastics and polymers due to your unique… ability… she's asked for you to spend a few afternoons a week here… she's set up a lab for you," Bejita said.

"Okay… but why isn't SHE asking me?"

"Because she's shopping that's why," said Bejita. "Will you do this favor for us? You yourself wished to pay me BACK for helping are for your brats. This is your chance… to…"

"I'll do it. Provided I can still train with Goku, and have time to see my children," said Atomique.

"You will," Bejita said. "Now, you may go… amuse yourselves. Radditzu, escort them out… I shall hope to see you both tomorrow…"

"All right," Goku grinned. "I'm just glad you're okay Atomique-kun…"

"Wait, I'd like to see the lab, if I might…" said Atomique.

"It's this way," Christine said, motioning for her to follow. Radditzu watched them both as they left, and then glanced back at his brother.

"Where is Nappa now?" asked Goku.

"In the GR chamber. With Jeannie. She is assessing his skill level," said Bejita.

"No offense but is he… safe?" Goku asked.

"He will not harm your family brother, if that is your concern," Radditzu said quietly. "And he will not harm your female…"

"My female? That's a laugh! It ain't LIKE that… she's not my…" Goku waved a hand violently.

"She isn't?" Radditzu asked, blinking.

"My wife and I are separated… but Atomique's just staying with me till she gets back on her feet. Sure her kids live with me, but it's only because…"

"Kakkarot is caring for that woman's brats because I ordered it. Their powers are such that only his unique… training can be effective to stem their destructive powers," Bejita interrupted. Goku blushed bright red.

"So they are not mated?" Radditzu said. "I see."

"No way!" Goku protested. "I'm not LIKE that! Her husband…"

"So she IS mated?" Radditzu asked, confused.

"Her husband's dead, and I’m just helping her out… honest. But anyway… why are you so curious?" Goku blinked at him.

"Just curious," Radditzu sniffed. "Besides, I don’t' want that fool Nappa getting any ideas. He's sniffing around like a dog in heat looking for unmated females… ever since his mate…"

"Nappa has a MATE?" Goku squealed.

"Indeed, but she's been missing or dead for a long time," said Bejita. "AT least in our universe…"

"There is a chance she may still be alive," Radditzu said. "But till then I don’t' want him fucking around and causing any harm… I mean what would the local fools think? It's messy. You know how he is… Sire…"

"Then all the better to keep him occupied. Jeannie can handle him, as can Christine. And he'll be busy watching my son Trunks…"

"Is that wise?" Goku asked.

"Don't be stupid. Trunks may be small, but his power level could trounce Nappa when he goes Super Saiyan…" Bejita smirked. "But Nappa is a good drill instructor. He'll work with Trunks while I work with the others…"

"Sounds okay, but I still…" Goku blinked. "I mean Radz and I…"

"You'll have your bonding time. As brothers. But don't get any silly notions about teaching him your sentimental crap," Bejita smirked to Goku.

Jeannie sensed the ki of Christine and Atomique as she walked in the direction opposite the labs. Around her neck she draped a white towel. She took a large swig from her water bottle, frowning. There had to be something she could do about Atomique, because something rubbed her the wrong way. Over the past six months memories long buried due to Paul's powers were bubbling to the surface. One in particular clawed to the forefront, burning her with the slow caustic of jealousy. Another painful fact surfaced the whereabouts of Jeannie's egg. Had Atomique deliberately left it behind when taking her babies the last few hours they were on Earth?

"My child could have died because of her. Well, she will pay for what she has done. I don't know if William is alive or dead…" she thought.

Nappa was close behind, sniffing the air. She turned to him and grunted, "You smell it don't you?"

"That female Radditzu rescued. She smells so delicious…"

"Her husband is dead, so she has no male," said Jeannie with a slow smile.

"Is that so?" Nappa grinned.

"You might consider pursuing her…"

"But the Prince…"

"Doesn't have to know," Jeannie winked. "Consider it a gift. If you take her now, I'm sure you can do what you want to…"

"She's your friend is she not? She didn't seem too interested…" Nappa chuckled, wiping sweat off his baldhead.

"Oh, you know how some females are. They say one thing, but mean the opposite," Jeannie purred. "Why not? She's available…"

"This should be fun," he grinned as Jeannie strode out, whistling to herself.

"Wait here, and don’t come till you hear my footsteps are gone," Jeannie whispered, stopping him with one hand outstretched. Nappa moved back out of sight, waiting patiently for her footsteps to vanish.

Leaving him behind, she walked a good portion of the way towards Atomique. She felt the eyes of her friend on her, and shivered. Christine noticed the tension, and spoke first, "Hey Jeannie… what's going on?"

"I see that you're unharmed. That's good," Jeannie said warily, glancing Atomique up and down.

"Yes. I understand that you're responsible for helping the two Saiyans get used to Earth culture?" said Atomique.

"Well yes," said Jeannie. "Which reminds me, Christine, I've got some questions for you about that one series of battle drills… could you meet me for a drink…"

"I was supposed to show Atomique here the new labs that Buruma…" said Christine.

"Oh, they're not far away. They're past the GR that way. Go down to the third door on the left and you can't miss it," said Jeannie.

"But…"

"I'm sure I can find a simple lab. I don’t' want to keep you two from whatever it is you're doing," Atomique said, noticing the strange look in Jeannie's eyes. She seemed anxious, her energy veiled from full perceptions. Something was making it difficult for her to sense ki. For some reason she felt as if she weren't alone.

"Okay… but let us know if you have any problems…" said Christine.

"I'll send Buruma to check on you in a few," said Jeannie. "C'mon Christine…"

Atomique shook her head at the two warriors striding away. Alone in the corridor, she continued down the hallways towards the bank of labs. On the way she had to pass the thick doors of the hyper gravity chamber. This was the new advanced model that Buruma had constructed especially for Christine and Jeannie to train in, and it was a ways from the other parts of Capsule's private labs. She followed the arrows written in Hiragana and English, hoping she was headed in the right direction.

Yet another ki flared nearby, and she slammed into the tall burly form of Nappa, sweaty and broad shouldered. "You lost, human?" he grinned.

"No, but I'm on an errand for your Prince, so step aside," she blinked up at him. He grinned, blocking her way.

"Well it could be dangerous for an unescorted female to be roaming around this huge place," he said.

"Get out of my way, now, you oaf," she snapped, remembering that Saiyans often responded to violent shouts the best. "Don't piss me off…"

"As if you could harm me, a small fragile thing like you," Nappa laughed. "You aren't mated, are you?"

"Even if I was, what the hell business of it's yours?" she glared up at him. "Move it, now!"

"Oh, just playing a little game… to see how strong you females are," Nappa snickered, his hand flashing out to grab her. She flipped out of the way, bringing her hands to bear.

"This isn't funny! Leave me ALONE!" she yelled, throwing a mass of confetti into his face to distract him. Before he could see straight, she rolled under his legs and burst into a run. He rushed after her, but she send small bits of plastic shrapnel towards him, then raised her hands to create a solid barrier between them. He hammered on it with his fists, laughing.

"Shit… this is GREAT…" she growled, then collided with something solid.

"Where are you going?" asked the voice as it grabbed her arms.

"Let me GO, dammit! Not you too!" she spat up at him.

"I thought you were on your way to the lab!" Radditzu said, his hand closed around her wrist.

"Just leave me alone! I don't know WHAT sick game you and that Nappa asshole are playing, but I don't want ANY part of it!" she snapped.

"What makes you think I have anything to do with THAT elite? I'm a third class… and anyhow, why are you trembling like that…" Radditzu asked, then felt her twisting her wrists as shards of plastic exploded into them.

"Shit… does THAT answer your question?" she asked. "That shit for brains is AFTER me!"

"Drek," mumbled Radditzu as he saw Nappa materialize before them.

"Oh, there you are… didn't expect YOU here, whelp," he laughed at Nappa.

"Are you playing that stupid game AGAIN?" Radditzu snorted, pushing Atomique close to his hip. "For shame! This female is OFF limits!"

"According to who? Are YOU claiming her?" Nappa asked.

"She lives in Kakkarot's house, you clod! If anything happens to her, he'll kill you!" Radditzu snapped.

"Oh, is she Kakkarot's whore?" snickered Nappa, rubbing sweat off his bald head with the back of his hand.

"I'm NOBODY's whore," she snarled back. "I belong to ME!"

"Hmm, that's what a lot of 'em say till they get a little taste of…" Nappa grinned.

"Play along female," Radditzu whispered into her ear as she glared up at him.

"This is nuts," she hissed. Radditzu slid his hand down to her backside, giving her a squeeze.

"Nappa, just knock it off," Radditzu growled. "I'm responsible for her safety. Even if it extends to protecting her from your little games…"

"Ah, is that the case?" asked Nappa.

"Try me," Radditzu glared at him.

"Humph, you know I’m stronger than you." Nappa grinned, cracking his knuckles.

"So? Why waste your time on her. She'd rather die than play along. Besides which, her offspring are Royal wards. And you know that means by Saiyan law… the Prince has the say in whose she is…"

"Now wait a minute…" Atomique protested, squirming to get her hands free.

"Shut up, female!" Radditzu snapped, glaring at her. She snorted under her breath, and then felt his tail unhitch and wrap around her waist.

"Hmm, is that so?" asked Nappa.

"There's thousands of females on this planet. Why so interested in this one?" asked Radditzu.

"But her friend told me she was available…" said Nappa.

"WHAT?" asked Atomique. "Who told you that?"

"Your friend Dragon Womyn…" Nappa replied, blinking in confusion.

"You're NUTS!" Atomique shouted. "That's sick!"

"Enough of this, Nappa. I saw her first…" Radditzu waved his hand before them.

"Ah, true," said Nappa.

"And I claim satisfaction. Are you going to try and take her from me?" Radditzu added, holding his hand not grasping Atomique up with the palm facing Nappa.

"Not when I could trounce you. You're not worth my time. Besides, if you want the little whore, then I suppose I can't dispute your claim. You DID find her fair and square…" Nappa laughed deeply, resting his hands on his hips.

"I'd rather be with him," she said, glaring up at him.

"Your loss then," Nappa said with a grunt of disappointment.

"Radditzu DID find me, and he DID say I was his…" She slid her arm around his waist, and he nodded slowly, gripping her hip possessively.

Nappa shrugged and then winked at Radditzu. "Well then I can't see any reason to delay you in having your fun. Bout time you fucked something, boy. Just remember if you're putting me on, I'll be extremely pissed…"

"Enough, I know what I’m doing," Radditzu snorted. "Come along female… I'm responsible for you…"

"No hard feelings?" Nappa winked.

"Whatever, let's just GO, Radz," she shivered, glancing back at him.

She felt Radditzu's tail still twined around her waist as he gently nudged her forwards. Once they were out of earshot, she heaved a sigh of relief. "My apologizes, but you shouldn't run around unescorted when he's out of training," Radditzu said, releasing her hip. However his tail lightly flickered against her rib.

"What the hell was that about? I've heard of horny, but dammit…" she shook her head.

"He and I have our needs…" Radditzu growled, not letting go of her completely.

"I thought Saiyans mated for life," she said.

"That applies to Saiyan females," said Radditzu. "But with spoils of war, if a male is unstated, he may pick a female to meet his needs… if he's not mated…"

"Oh great…" she groaned. "So because you found me, you're going to fuck me?"

"Is that your word for it?" Radditzu blinked.

"Better you than that fat bastard," she shivered.

"Hmm, you have better taste then I thought, female," Radditzu said as his tail tightened around her waist.

"Now JUST A minute, are you still going to," she asked, shivering. "You're not kidding me…"

"I had hoped to see you later, female," Radditzu said as he glanced down at her, pushing her hair out of her face. "You and I have unfinished business… and now that we're alone… we should discuss it…"

"What the FUCK Are you going on about!" she gasped.

"I demand satisfaction. Since I just saved you from Nappa… you owe me," Radditzu grinned lasciviously.

"So you can rape me, is that it? Because you're so horny you can't see straight?" she asked, trying to keep herself angry so she wouldn't panic.

"Not rape. It's far better if the female is willing…" he said, caressing her cheek roughly. "And you DO belong to me… even if you live in my brother's house…"

"Swell," she groaned. "You really are serious…"

"Are you frightened of me, female?" Radditzu asked, as she squirmed in his grasp.

"Yes, and no. Please don’t' do this… my children… Radditzu this is CRAZY!" she yelled.

"I will not harm you, I give my word. But you do owe me your life… however there is the matter that you did me a favor in return. You reunited me with my long lost brother. And as such, that means I owe YOU something…"

"So doesn't it cancel out?" asked she.

"You're still a spoil of war…" Radditzu purred, gently picking her up in his arms.

"Oh shit," she groaned. "You can't just… HEY PUT ME DOWN!"

"I swear I won't break you, female…" he whispered, and gave her bottom a swat.

"What about if your brother finds out," she asked.

"It can be our secret," Radditzu said. Carefully he picked the female up and carried her with him to find someplace more comfortable. He wanted to enjoy as much as he could before she would return to his brother. Yet he hoped she would seek his protection again after this.

"Put me DOWN you lummox! HEY!" she yelled.

"Don't argue with me, female. You can't stop this," Radditzu said.

"You're nuts… Goku will KILL you when he finds out! You're insane! HEY!" she screamed.

"I would be silent if I were you!" Radditzu snarled. "Shut up! Do you want Nappa to hear you?"

"Let me GO you mother fucker!" she hissed.

"No female. Nappa's not gone. And I don't think you want to deal with him. Your only chance is to play along with me… and since you already…"

"I can't BELIEVE you're asking me this… has the world gone NUTS? I'll tell the Prince…" she said angrily.

"He can't get here in time. And unless you want Nappa changing his mind and suspecting something, you should shut up. He'll kill you, and me both if he's pissed enough… and I don't want you dead before I can have you…" Radditzu snarled, clapping a hand over her mouth. "You don't want to die do you? I'm doing this to save BOTH our asses..."

She grunted and kicked. "Stupid female, even if the Prince DID find out, Nappa will have killed us both… now will you SHUT up?"

"Fine, you got what you wanted. Let's just get on with it," she sighed, stopping her struggle. "It's obvious you want to rape me…"

"I don't rape. There's no fun in it. I like it when the female agrees to it. And usually if I spare her life, she gives me her pleasure in return. And my protection… till she's found of course," he sighed. "I DO have my needs… and Nappa will be suspicious if something does not happen… so if you're willing, it will be all the better for you. I won't have to work so hard to persuade you."

"So he'll know if we don't fuck or not?" she asked. "You seriously say you're going to have to FUCK me to keep Nappa from bothering me?"

"Yes. And it seems to me your so called friend Jeannie wants you harmed," said Radditzu.

"I can't believe that…" Atomique stammered. Urgently Radditzu's scouter bleeped, flickering patterns of yellow light across his eyepiece. Grumbling in Saiyago, he punched the button for a second or two, then frowned.

"He wasn't lying, Tomique," said Radditzu. "I sensed her ki. She deliberately led Christine away to leave you vulnerable. She knew Nappa was there, and I heard part of the conversation… I'd gone after you because I suspected something was wrong…"

"You mean to tell me that you heard the whole thing?" she asked.

"Saiyans have sharp hearing," said Radditzu, walking quickly along to put as much distance between them and Nappa as possible. Judging from the flickering on his scouter, he saw Nappa's trace pursuing them at a distance of ten yards. Apparently his comrade was trying to confirm that Radditzu really was going to take the alchemist for his own pleasure. Unfortunately Nappa got a sick thrill watching others mate. Including his fellow Saiyans.

"The Z fighters will stop both of you… you're as good as dead…" she gasped.

"Tomique, a lot of people on this planet will die. It's simpler just to submit to me and let Nappa think you're mine. He knows you're not Goku's…" Radditzu said matter of fact.

"Someone wake me up. This is EARTH; I don't belong to any of you! I refuse to…"

"Listen to me you idiot!" Radditzu growled. He brought his face close to hers, whispering right into her ear, "Nappa will stop at NOTHING once he sets his sights on it. He's happened to do that to YOU, because you're powerful enough. He likes chasing things and raping them. If anyone is more dangerous it's him. He'll grab you and rape you if you're not taken. And I don't want…"

"Goku will kill him…" she shivered.

"I know, but he can't get here fast enough. Listen to me Tomique… I don't just do this for me. ON Frieze's ship I would mark any female whose life I saved. Only by claiming them could I keep them alive for my own pleasure. Because they would torment me if I had no bed slave or whore. I have already had the experience of someone else my own sex… resorting to me… but he was a shape shifter. I prefer females… and well…" he trailed off.

"So you think the only way to keep me safe from your pal is to get to me first. It's as I figured…" she sighed.

"He's listening to us right now," Radditzu hissed urgently. "That's why I'm saying all these things…"

"Kami… you're joking…"

"Trust me Tomique-san. You MUST do as I say or he could destroy us both. And your Jeannie won't help, and Bejita is too far away to get here fast enough. Nappa can disintegrate you with a snap of his fingers… you saw how he slew those vermin," said Radditzu. "My brother's already gone home… you don’t have any options…"

"Do you have to FUCK me, maybe if you just got your scent on me…" she asked.

"That's not enough, female. He needs to sense my ki on you, marking you. You may have slept close to my brother and lived in his house, but you haven't been claimed. Nappa won't touch any female I've had," he said. "And you are my responsibility, since you helped me find Kakkarot…"

"Just… don't hurt me. My children need me… I'll give you what you want, but just don't hurt them Promise me you won't let Nappa harm them…"

"You give yourself so freely? Willingly?" Radditzu asked her.

"I'll do anything to keep my children safe. And it you're going to take me anyway, I might as well just submit and get it over with…" she said, squeezing her eyes shut as her body tensed.

"Keep quiet, and don’t' fight me. I'm taking you somewhere we can be alone, and more comfortable," Radditzu said. She clung to his shoulder.
