Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction / Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Saiyan Foster Father ❯ No Explanations Needed ( Chapter 40 )

No Explanations Needed

For the next hour Gene listened unconvinced as they repeated the story for Christine and his benefit. He but patiently endured the explanation punctuated with outbursts of clarification from Raditz. Gene understood the Saiyan's need for protectiveness but it was getting downright annoying. For some reason Raditz' possessiveness rivaled Paul's and the other men he'd known. Just how she had hooked up with that monkey man and transformed was beyond him, but he had some suspicions born of his knowledge of SF and fantasy.

Gene glanced at the two of them, shaking his head. Raditz turned his attention to the strange look alike, seeing the white and black pigmentation creep over his face. His scouter bleeped with the increase in the Demon's ki indicating the regeneration tank had done its work. Now Christine was filled in on the story, and she shook her head.

"So, you're certain of what happened?” Christine asked, glancing at them.

"Her mind was invaded, don't you see?” Raditz said gruffly. "By the one you call Star Child."

“You're still sticking to that load of crap,” Gene snapped. “Come on, Try, you know Paul wouldn't do it! I say you're both insane! Those memories you told me about happened, but you have to admit it's not in Paul's character! You can't just blindly accuse him. You have to realize it can only be Blackwell!”

“Why you drek eating tail humper you dare accuse my mate of lying?” Raditz yelled.

"Look, you need to relax! He's NOT going to hurt me!" she said, switching to a language that neither Gene nor Christine understood. She wasn't even aware she had changed till they stared at her uncomprehending.

"I know that, but damn it,” Raditz huffed.

"Do you have to leave the room? I know that I'm yours, so just relax!" she grated out in that harsh language Christine had heard Vegeta use only in the presence of his fellow Saiyans.

"NO comprendo," Gene snapped.

"Sorry," the scientist apologized, switching back to English.

"You never said you could speak Saiyago," Christine mumbled. "I mean I learned a few words, but it wasn't like the Prince went out of his WAY to teach us. It's a hard ass language to learn, and I figure I'm pretty good with German and English…"

"I don't know HOW I know it, I just do. But that's not the immediate point here!" Atomique said in frustration.

"Then make your damn point!” said Gene.

"Whatever," Raditz said sullenly, getting up and pacing the room, hands crossed over his chest. "You tell them. But don't blame ME if you miss something…"

"Males," she snorted, then sat down across from Gene. "Anyway, here's the way it goes…"

That and the bands around her upper arm and thigh in the same place as Raditz convinced him it must be like wedding bands. Not to mention the red welts on their necks. Her armor was almost identical in design except his shoulder flashes and groin/hip guards were gold instead of brown. Like Napa's had been, indicating he was now considered second class or almost elite status.

"Okay, but how do you KNOW for sure it was Paul? It could be Blackwell," said Gene.

"Man I wish you told me!" Christine complained.

"It only just happened, and I didn't want to bother you," said Tomakt.

"Vegeta knew and I didn't," she said.

"He demanded I tell him," she said. "I didn't want to… but you know how he is."

"He is the prince, I know. Look, I don't blame you for wanting to keep it secret, but you know you can always tell me…"

"I was going to, but I didn't have a chance because the Prince and Radz here were the first on the scene," said Atomique.

"Damn," Gene muttered. "I still think its Blackwell. What I don't get is why Jeannie is so pissy towards you."

"That's what I want to know," Raditz said. "She's your whelp, right?"

"Yes, she's my daughter," said Gene. "You have kids yourself, man?"

"I do,' Raditz said, grunting at him. "And will."

"So you must know what it's like to have to deal with… how old are they?"

"Not yet born," Raditz said sheepishly, which drew a groan from Atomique.

"Congratulations you two," said Gene. "I figured I smelled someone pregnant. But I was waiting till… wow… when are you expecting?"

"Six months from now, by this planet's reckoning," said Raditz.

"But the others?"

"He means Fermi and Bohr," said Atomique. "He's adopted them."

"Whoa, maybe that's why Paul has issues…" said Gene. "That your children…"

"He gave them to Son Goku for fostering, so why should he bitch?" asked Atomique angrily. "The point is that I think Jeannie was jealous because I was with Paul, in a close way, and she is angry because I saved my babies instead of her egg…"

"But William's alive and well! He's traveling with his father Elliot to God knows where, but he's alive! I hadn't had the chance to tell her!" Gene snorted. "Damn it."

"Why would Jeannie be jealous unless she had a crush on Paul?" asked Christine.

"What did you say?" Gene snorted. "No fucking WAY! That's SICK!"

"Er, I don't get it," Raditz said, then blinked. "You mean he doesn't know…"

"Know WHAT?" Gene snorted. "Excuse me…"

"He doesn't know what?" Tomakt snorted, whacking Raditz in the back of the head.

"OW! But I thought he had been informed!” Raditz groaned, rubbing his spiky mane. His pride was hurt far worse than his thick skull.

"Excuse the fuck me what is going on?" Gene roared at them. "What is this about Jeannie and Paul?"

"Calm down!" Christine hissed. She grasped Gene's waist, holding him back. His eyes flared crimson, fangs bared while red energy crackled around him. Raditz sat up, moving to Tomakt's side. She held him back with one arm, not wanting this to degenerate into a fight. Armor materialized to encase Gene's massive body, bulking him up till he equaled Napa in height and mass. Spikes and chain mail merged into a silver and black costume that resembled primitive armor. At least primitive compared to the armor Tomakt and Raditz were wearing.

Christine shouted in Gene's ear, “Easy Gene, you have to knock it off!”

“Damn it I demand to know!” Gene growled.

"I can't hold him back for long. You guys had better spill and do it FAST!”

“Try, don't jerk me around. Spit it out. If you know something say it!” Gene breathed deeply, struggling desperately to control himself.

"Jeannie and Paul had a relationship, but you probably forgot because Paul erased your memories and hers. But Jeannie remembered," said Atomique.

"No fucking way in HELL!" Gene exploded. Raditz moved over to stand between him and Atomique as Gene snared.

"You didn't know, so don't blame my mate!" Raditz said. "Blame ME if you're pissed!"

"God damn son of a fucking BITCH! Is this true?" Gene roared at Raditz and her.

"She doesn't' lie," said Raditz. "Blame me if you wish to duke it out. But you will not endanger my mate!"

"Guys KNOCK IT OFF! Who cares who knows how! The point is that it must have happened, because it explains a GREAT deal!" Christine shouted overtop them all. Gene blinked at her, baring his fangs. Raditz enfolded Atomique in his arms when she started to curse. She forced back angry tears, clinging to his arm as her tail thrashed behind her in agitation. Gene absently watched the movement of the furry appendage despite his rage.

"Damn, this is just fucking GREAT. I can't believe Paul and my own daughter would… DAMN THEM!" Gene shook his head. He collapsed onto the chair, his body trembling with revulsion and shock.

"How do you think I feel?" asked Christine quietly. "I had suspected it, but I figured it wasn't my business, but Jeannie denied…"

"Then it must be the case," Gene said coldly, glancing up at them all. "Son of a fucking bitch. I am going to have a little chat with my daughter! Why didn't you tell me? Did you KNOW this, Try?"

"I did because Paul shared it with me the ONE time he mind bonded. But he made me SWEAR to forget it. I facing wish I never knew!" she shouted back as he advanced on her. Raditz bared his teeth at Gene, growling angrily as his hair stood on end.

"Gene, calm down!" Christine said.

"God damn it! How could you HIDE that from me!" Gene snarled.

"Any time, King Kong, you name the place! If you want to step in, then we can take this outside!" Gene said angrily.

“You threaten my mate again and you'll DIE!” Raditz growled. “I'm SICK of your accusations!”

“You just picked the WRONG time to get under my skin, asshole,” Gene snarled. Before Christine or Tomakt could stop him, Gene pounced. He knocked Raditz over, but only got a temporary hold when Raditz twisted his body and flung Gene easily across the room. In a second Gene leapt up, hurling a blast of fire from his mouth. Raditz held up his hand to block the energy, then hurled a sphere of power smack into Gene's face. It knocked him backwards.

“Son of a fucking BITCH!” Gene ranted. “You just signed your death warrant, monkey man!”

“Don't push your luck,” Raditz laughed in his face. “You seriously think you can fight ME?”

"Gene, god damn it back off!" Christine ranted, grabbing him around the shoulders. She surged her power over him, draining enough of his energy off to temporarily leave him staggering.

"Raditz, don't, he's not worth it!" Atomique said, grabbing Raditz by his waist and tugging backwards on him. Her tail flared around his arm tightly squeezing hard to try and get his attention.

“Stay OUT of this, Chris, he's stupid enough to pick a fight with the Demon, he pays the price!” Gene howled, twisting her off. She grunted as he squeezed a pressure point in his neck. Grabbing her he tossed her backwards onto one of the hospital beds out of harms way.

“What are you doing?” Tomakt shouted. Extending her hand she aimed a ki ball, lobbing it directly in Gene. It knocked him backwards so he rolled away from the bed.

“Try, what the HELL did you do that for?” Gene snarled. “Are you against me too?”

“Don't hurt her Gene!”

“You got on my LAST nerve, Try. I thought you were someone we could trust! Why is it he let YOU remember and blocked ME and my daughter? God damn it!" Gene ranted.

"I didn't LIE, you never asked! "I don't know Gene, I don't know! I wish to Kami I'd never known this damn thing!" Atomique hissed, suddenly raising her hand to hit him with another blast should he attack her or Raditz. Gene slammed her with a blast of smoke to disorient her. Raditz coughed and hacked, cursing as he tried to trace where his mate and the Demon had vanished to.

“You really should think TWICE Before pissing me off, doll,” Gene snarled, reaching for her waist and lifting her up. Tomakt felt fire slamming through her spine as Gene's hand clamped firmly down on her tail. It unwrapped of its own accord, causing her to drop to her knees with Gene holding the furry appendage in shock. She let out a scream of outrage, shivering in sheer pain.

"GET AWAY From her!" Raditz exploded, his eyes flaring turquoise. Gene suddenly saw gold lightening crackling over the Saiyan's body, and stepped back. Especially when Raditz let out a loud bellow and exploded into fire.

“Try, I didn't mean to hurt you what the hell,” Gene gasped, letting her tail go.

“You son of a BITCH!” she gurgled. “You are so DEAD!”

The next thing Gene saw was a fist in his face, then the wall as he crashed into it. Raditz grabbed him by the throat, slamming him repeatedly against the wall. Angrily Gene kicked and slammed his fists to get the monkey man to release him. Both of them rolled over and over punching and hitting one another.

"Holy SHIT," Christine mumbled. "I didn't know he could do that!"

Gene managed to gain leverage to throw Raditz off of him. He hurled the Saiyan into the far wall, smashing Raditz through it. Shaking his head, the Saiyan leapt through his feet as Gene turned to see Atomique shakily trying to climb to her feet.

"You leave my mate alone, you damn ningen, or I'll personally scatter your ashes over the face of this planet!" he snarled.

"Damn," Gene mumbled, smelling ki topping ten times what it should be as Raditz' hair stood straight on end like a porcupine, blazing gold while his eyes were turquoise sparks.

“You die NOW!” Raditz shouted. “Rot in HELL!”

"Stay out of this, monkey man!" Gene snarled, raising his hands to deflect the blaze that Raditz had generated. Just before the blaze slammed into him, something blue zipped between Gene and his attacker with the speed of light, deflecting Raditz' blast. Gene groaned as a white gloved hand hurled him back out of harm's way.

"All right what the HELL is going on here? Raditz, power down this instant!" bellowed the Saiyan no Ouji. He appeared out of nowhere, standing between Gene and Raditz with his own transformation.

“What the FUCK is going on here?” Christine snapped, coming out of her stunned state. She heard Vegeta hollering in Saiyanese, and Raditz' heated answer. She got up, rubbing her neck as she saw Gene blinking and cursing.

“God damn it, I'm sick of this!” Gene roared.

"Stop it you stupid jerks!" Christine snapped. "Do I have to drain you Gene!"

"Radz-chan, power down!" Atomique snapped at him. "We've done enough as it is!"

“Are you all right?” Christine asked. “Try, what the hell happened?”

“He grabbed… oh shit it hurts,” she gasped, staggering to her feet. Raditz moved over to help her up, watched by the Prince.

“Someone tell me what happened and now before I really lose it!” Vegeta shouted. “Raditz, pick your mate off the floor and get her OUT of the damn WAY while I get to the bottom of this! And you, Black Widow, restrain your mate NOW before he gets blasted into the next dimension!”

“I didn't start it. That jackass monkey mate of hers did! I wasn't going to hurt her! I'm not going to hurt her, so just back off! I'm just fucking PISSED because someone I thought was my friend lied to me!" The Demon ranted.

“Enough,” Vegeta said. “Raditz, apologize now. And you had best do so as well, Demon. My patience is wearing thin with you stupid humans!”

"My apologies your Majesty…" Raditz said, dropping into a bow. Power drained out of him, indicated by the spikes of his hair drooping and fading to black. He averted his gaze, huddling at his Prince's feet.

“I'm not going to apologize to them! I didn't do anything wrong!” Gene snarled.

"I'm sorry," said Christine. Gene staggered; dropping to his knees while Christine steadied him. He panted heavily, shaking his head while he felt his power tanking.

"God damn it Christine, you didn't HAVE to do that!" he spluttered.

"Yes I did! You were overreacting!" she snapped at him.

"Explain yourself human, NOW!" Vegeta glared at him, his turquoise gaze burning brightly into Gene's sweating face. "Or do I have to pound you around this place myself to get it out of you?"

"Damn it, this isn't your business, you royal pain in the ass," Gene snapped.

"Humph, if you weren't the woman's mate I'd see if you really had the balls to try and take out your frustrations on a mere third class female," Vegeta smirked. "But I suppose your main injury is to your pride."

"Things got out of hand. Gene didn't know that Jeannie and Paul had a relationship…"

"She should have told me. He let HER remember and he stopped my mind and Jeannie's, tell me why?" Gene panted.

"Humans are so stupid," Vegeta snorted. "And they criticize Saiyan mating rituals!"

"God damn him how could he," Gene gasped. "Did you know?"

"I deduced it without needing to pick anyone's stupid brain, fool," said Vegeta with a snort. "It was obvious that something was causing irrational hatred. Beyond just the need to prove her dominance."

"As if your desire was not?" asked Gene with a grunt. "I know all about that pissing contest between you and that Goku guy…"

"That's not your affair, so don't speak it in my presence again. You're a guest here, and I will not hesitate to correct such insults should you continue to threaten my warriors again. It's clear that your mind has been tampered with as your daughter's was. For I'm sensing your mental energies in a state of considerable flux," said Vegeta.

"You're telepathic too, let me fucking guess," Gene snorted.

"Yes. But your mind's screaming so fucking loud I can't help but hear. So shield it NOW," Vegeta growled at him.

"Gene, please," said Christine, holding onto his waist. Raditz still knelt before the prince, trembling in rage and fear. He stumbled to his feet, nudging his way out of Christine's arms.

"Just leave me alone, doll, please, I'm so pissed I can't fucking see straight!" Gene panted, turning his back on the Saiyans.

Vegeta snorted, then turned away himself. Nudging Raditz' shoulder with a gold toed boot he said,

"Get up, fool. Take your mate and go on patrol. I will speak to these two alone, if I may?"

"As you command, your Majesty," Raditz said, all too pleased to take his mate and get as far away from the Demon as possible before he gave into the urge to pound him.

"You too, Tomakt," Vegeta said, giving her arm a shove. She knew it was custom, and nodded, feeling decidedly sick at the hateful glare Gene cast her way at that moment.

"I thought I could trust you," Gene mumbled. "Damn it."

"I'm sorry," she said, getting up and walking past Gene.

"Save it," Gene said.

"Let's go," Raditz said, grabbing her and giving her a shove before him.

"Gene," Christine said.

"I am sorry," she muttered.

"Let it go. Just drop it," Christine urged. "You two just get out of here and let me talk to him, okay?"

"As you wish," Raditz said.

"Leave NOW," Vegeta snapped, glaring at them as he poked a white-gloved finger in their direction.

"God damn it all," Gene shook his head, smashing a hole in the wall with a spiked fist.

"Humph, I share your outrage, but you must know this is not the fault of those third class idiots," said Vegeta quietly, folding his arms across his chest. "I am a father myself. I comprehend to SOME extent…"

"He is," said Christine.

"I have a son, who's barely a man. And my mate is pregnant with a daughter," said Vegeta. "So I comprehend."

"You mean Bulma's…"

"Yes," Vegeta said. "I found out only a short time ago. A Daughter. So you can imagine how horrified that makes me. So don't take my words lightly, Demon."

"I know you get it, but damn it! I trusted Paul, and I trusted Try."

"She's one of my subjects, human," said Vegeta. "I'll take care of this. But you must refrain from your accusations. Since I'm the Prince you'll speak your grievances to ME. Got it?"

"Fine whatever!" Gene snarled. "God damn it… I… I can't believe my own friend."

"Humans have an innate capacity for treachery that rivals Saiyan," said Vegeta curling his lip. "The two species are disturbingly familiar. Although you humans are quite weak in comparison, you suffer the same vices."

"Shit," Gene shivered. "I can't talk about this. God damn it."

"I suggest you retire to your private chambers, or make use of the GR, if you wish to destroy something," said Vegeta. "My mate detests destruction of Capsule property. I won't hear the end of it."

"Gene let's go," said Christine, taking his arm. He staggered against her, hands over his face. Vegeta shook his head, walking in the opposite direction. Under his breath he cursed human stupidity.
