A Saiyan Alive

     Chapter Five: Good Riddance

     The guard pulled out his stun-gun, aiming for Raddi's shoulder while her back was turned. He fired. Raddi let out a gasp as she collapsed to the floor.

     The guard allowed himself a small smile of relief. That had been easier than he expected. He opened the cage and dragged Raddi out by the collar, pulling her towards the courtyard where Yamu waited.

     He arrived at his destination promptly, depositing Raddi against the wall by the door, before bowing and going back inside. Yamu turned to observe his 'prey,' but, to his astonishment, he was met not with an unconscious victim but a heavy right to the jaw. The wall behind him made a resounding thud upon impact, and he groaned.

     "What… how…" His broken query was cut short by a swift kick delivered to his midsection that sent him flying sideways several feet. Raddi proceeded to toy with him, enjoying roundly trouncing his ego. The pitiful fool thought, sorry, used to think he was the strongest on the planet. Eventually, Raddi picked him up by the ankle, holding him up to see his face. He coughed up a mouthful of pale blue blood. "How did… what… you were out cold—" He trailed off, visibly paling under Raddi's cold smile.

     "Did I mention that those pathetic stun-guns are useless against me?"

~~~~~~~~~~

     Raddi gasped and dropped to the floor when she felt the wires snake across her shoulder, live with electrical current. The guard behind her came forward to drag her from the cage; she let him. The fool. He went towards the feeling of cool drafts that signified open air, unaware of Raddi's feigned slumber…

~~~~~~~~

     The first thing Raddi did after blasting Yamu was to remove and incinerate her collar, feeling quite glad to be rid of it. Then, tail wrapped securely about her waist, she sauntered back into the building. It was time to ditch this planet, but first she needed to get that girl, Hawk.

     Raddi approached the cage from behind, announcing her presence only when she was right next to it. "Hey, we're leaving."

     "AHHH!" squeaked Hawk, falling over backwards despite being seated cross-legged on the floor. She stared a bit crossly up at Raddi. "Mithros, Mynoss, and Shakith*! Don't you make any *noise*?" she asked, paying no mind to her complete lack of dignity at the moment.

     Raddi didn't deign to answer the question, instead choosing to send controlled blasts at the base of several bars at the back of the cage. She bent them away, leaving a space large enough for Hawk to fit through. Unfortunately, that wasn't the sort of thing that went unnoticed by the guards.

     "Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" yelled one of them as he and his buddies ran towards the two girls. Raddi calmly grabbed Hawk's arm as she blasted the guards.

     "Come on already, I don't have all day, you know," she said as she pulled Hawk towards the front exit, blasting anyone who got in her way without thinking twice.

     "Wait, where are you going? I said, wait… hey, Raddi!" Hawk's questions were ignored as the stronger girl marched outside, blasted into the air—still holding onto Hawk—and turned to face the town.

     "Cherry…"  A glowing red-orange ball of ki formed in Raddi's left hand.

     "Huh?"

     "Beam…" It grew as Raddi extended her arm towards the warehouse, impervious to the stares of pedestrians below.

     "What are you—"

     "Cannon!" Raddi yelled, cutting of Hawk's question as a bright orange ki blast razed the ground below.

     "…oh." Hawk finished in a very small voice.
