Notes: This is part 5 of a flashback 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 Tomique by convincing Nappa that Atomique wanted him. So Nappa tried to rape Tomique till Radditzu stepped in. The only way for Tomique 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. Now we continue the flashback:

Flashbacks are in Italics and will be indicated

********************************************************************

Almost three months had passed in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and Radditzu and Tomique were continuing their training in earnest. They often spent much time reminiscing about their earlier 'arrangement' and tonight was no exception.

"Do you remember when you first started helping me in the lab?" she teased, pulling off a grape and placing it on his tongue. He lay there in the bed, muscles aching after a long day of training in the room of time and spirit. Tomique leaned over him, rubbing his chest as he reached up to her.

"Yes. And your poor friends at that old pervert's island, the day after I first taught you how to focus your ki," he said wistfully.

"Which reminds me, we'd better get back to training," she said, getting out of bed. Radditzu saw her retreat, loving how her tail curled around her ankles as her butt swayed with each step. As a human she was cute, but as a Saiyan and his mate she was irresistible.

"If only she had known how happy she could be. But no matter," he said, getting up out of bed. He went over and nipped at her neck as she bent over to get her armor.

"Hey you!" she laughed. Radditzu laughed, rubbing her backside as he let her up, and handed her armor to her.

"Armor today, Tomique. We've done the Kame-sennen, now let's get back to some real Saiyan stuff," he grinned.

"Well you DID learn something from your brother," she stuck out her tongue. He motioned her to join him outside the small hut in the Hyperbolic Time chamber. The massive dome soared overhead, and both mates stood facing one another at a distance of twenty paces.

"I wonder how your Z fighter friends would think if they could see what attacks we developed," said Radditzu.

"Idiot, I couldn't explain those bruises you gave me at first!" she mumbled.

"You should have accepted my mating offer then," he said with a grin, dodging her atomic force blast.

"Hey, don�t' whine to me! You were the one that said Saiyans don�t' fall in love like ningens!" she shot back, dodging his k ball.

"Double sundae!" Radditzu yelled. She hurled spheres to anticipate his twin beams, laughing as she flipped out of the way. Again she was reminded of how far they'd come, from sex partner and protector to mates. It was hard to imagine it had been shortly after Jeannie's second attempt on her life.

She was at a picnic wiht the other Z fighters, wearing bandages over her skin. All they knew was she had a lab accident. Only Goku knew the true nature of her injuries, and he swore not to tell Bejita. They had heard only then about Nappa and Radditzu, but were kept well away from Capsule. So they were all unwinding with each other at a picnic at Kami house.

It was Atomique's first time to visit Master Roshi, where Krillen lived with his wife No. 18 and their daughter Marron. Already a cookout was grilling, and she was sparring with Yamucha and Videl, showing them what Son Goku had taught her. An urge to show them her ki focussing from Radditzu surfaced, but she wanted to wait for the right moment.

FLASHBACK---------******************************************

"Ouch, you nailed me," Yamucha had laughed when they had traded mock blows, and he had tripped her. A quick throw he had shown her was applied, and he found himself flipped over.

"Good one, using your own moves against you, bro," Krillen laughed.

"Humph, give them any incentive and they'll fight with a new woman," 18 said, only mildly impressed. There were few that could match her brute strength, but she had fast reflexes on top of it.

"She's getting better," Yamucha gasped as Krillen helped him up. "Now, come at me and let's see what ELSE Videl's taught you�"

"Better get the Kleenex," Krillen had laughed. His daughter was eagerly clapping, sitting near the other kids lounging in the sun. She had stumbled on the unlikely bunch on this small island, not knowing what to expect.

Another sweep of the leg, and Yamucha flipped her over. But she rolled and then kicked his feet from under him. He toppled, and crashed near her, almost nailing her in the back with a touch. "Now if THIS happens, you can go WHAM in the gut, then when they roll over, nail 'em in the kidneys�"

"Wham bam, where's the thank you ma'am?" 18 commented dryly. Sweat soaked everyone's workout clothes. It seemed most of them had lost interest in any sparring, instead turning to a volleyball game in progress.

"C'mon girly pie, I KNOW you can land at LEAST one punch," Yamucha taunted.

"Do me a favor and shut up," Tomique snorted. Suddenly she drew back her hand and slammed it right into his jaw. He dodged in the nick of time, but her punch caught his ear and sent him reeling.

"Hey, nice shot," 18 said.

"What the� hold on honey� I didn't mean THAT hard," Yamucha laughed.

"Don't call me honey," she snapped, then slammed her knee up and hit him in the gut. Yamucha dropped like a sack of potatoes, hugging himself and gurgling.

"Wow, nice form,' said 18.

"Yamucha, are you okay bro?" Krillen gasped as he rolled over.

"Never� better� whoa� you didn't have to hit me THAT hard, honey�" Yamucha gasped.

"Sorry� I don't like being called girly pie," she mumbled.

"It's okay, it's his pride," Videl teased.

"I really wasn't aware I hit you THAT hard. I was letting you show me your throws," Tomique shrugged. 18 wandered over and leaned close, then grabbed her arm to tug her away.

"Well, where was THAT when you were first hitting him, huh?" 18 asked her, as Yamucha backed away with Krillen helping him up.

"Good question," said Videl, also leaning nearby. "You could have easily beaten him with the first punch if you were going to do that to start out with!"

"I think you enjoyed that as much as I did?" 18 asked her.

"Yes," she nodded. "He was asking for it�"

"Well not THAT much. He's not THAT much of a pill," Videl sighed.

"I could have hit him much harder," she shrugged.

"I could show you a few things myself," 18 said. "Come over here�"

"Whoo boy, she's in trouble," Yamucha coughed, spitting up blood.

"Man, are you SURE you're okay?"

"Don't worry� she's� whoo� she's got ONE hell of a punch. I guess Goku's training is paying off," Yamucha smiled. Krillen grabbed some ice from the cooler and helped his buddy to sit down under a tree.

"Daddy, is uncle Yamucha okay?" Marron asked.

"She's fine," said 18, walking over with Tomique and Videl behind her. "Now the real fun begins."

"This isn't gonna be pretty," Krillen groaned. "Don't be TOO hard on them, honey�"

"And ruin my fun?" 18 laughed, rolling her neck so it cracked.

***

By the time Videl and Tomique were midway through the fight, both were dripping with sweat. They whirled and levitated trying to avoid the rapid pelting of kiko ha. Not at the full intensity, they were still daunting enough to sting.

"C'mon, you're FASTER then that! I'm barely warmed up!" 18 called, throwing a higher intensity one. Videl took a swing, launching herself up, only to feel 18 catch her from behind. She rolled over in the dirt, then spit out sand.

Tomique felt 18's fist flash out then raised her hand to aim a blast right in 18's path. It knocked the female android back with a surprise. "Better� you actually caught me off guard for a second," 18 grunted, nodding in slow appreciation.

"HYAH!" Videl shouted, rolling over and kicking 18's legs out. Yet 18 rolled over, then twisted her legs with Videl's and flipped her over, delivering a punch that stunned her opponent.

"OUCH!" Krillen gasped. "You SURE you didn't hit her that hard, cause Gohan�"

"Please," 18 laughed flicking her hair and bringing up her hands to block Tomique's spinning kick, and then a phase out with a rapid-fire series of punches. 18 grabbed her and threw her halfway across the beach. While she was flying Tomique twisted around and landed with a bit of levitation. Videl got up, staggering as she saw the little mock battle escalate.

"C'mon, you want a piece of me?" Videl called out. "I'm just getting started! My DAD could do a better work out�"

"Oh is that so?" 18 smirked. "Show me what you've got�"

Flipping hand over hand, Videl started with her own volley of kicks and punches. 18 countered each with ease, giving Videl a grudging smile, but she appeared bored. Krillen sighed with relief, seeing his wife was trying to hold back for her benefit. Tomique saw the mock battle, which was close to ending when 18 grabbed Videl and threw her to the ground. She pinned her opponent.

"Well, do you give up?"

"Give me� a minute�" Videl panted. 18 gave a wry smile, which was her version of approval that Videl was at least giving her a mild challenge.

"Atomic FORCE!" Tomique shouted, gathering her hands at her hip. 18's head flashed around to see the alchemist crackling all over with purple fire.

"Now this is something new. So� she actually has some energy worth collecting," the artificial human mused. She braced herself for the impact, sensing the power levels sharply jutting up. A purple beam slammed into her with greater intensity, actually pushing 18 back. Quickly she regained her balance, then pushed back with her own crimson blast.

Tomique dropped, and generated a small ball of ki. She lobbed it towards 18, who simply batted it aside. It flew into the tree near Krillen and Yamucha, then exploded against the tree, reducing it to toothpicks and splinters raining down on everyone else.

"HEY!" Yamucha gasped.

"Kuso!" Videl gasped. Krillen seized Marron and flew her out of the way.

"JEEZ what are you trying to do? Kill us?" Krillen snapped angrily at them.

"It wasn't MY fault you didn't get out of the way," 18 said. "Besides, I'm testing your reflexes�"

"Shimatta, what the hell was that?" Master Roshi exclaimed, falling off his deck chair as he dropped his girly magazine. "Someone let me KNOW when you're setting those things off?"

"Wow, that was a pretty big bang," Gohan commented, landing near Videl. "I saw it from up there� is everything okay, Videl?"

"Yeah, just Tomique showing off. And 18 too," Videl chuckled. "I think it scared Master Roshi though�"

"Ugh� well are you two about ready to go? My dad's cooking dinner and sent me to get you all so you won't be late�" said Gohan.

"Tomique! Dinner!" Videl called. "Are you done pummeling us, 18?"

"Yes, thank you," 18 waved. "Actually that was the best workout I've had in a few days� not bad kid�"

She said this glancing at Tomique. "You know you could actually be dangerous�"

"Thanks I think," said Tomique. Yamucha and Krillen were staring at her nervously as she walked towards Gohan and Videl.

"What are YOU looking at? Not used to seeing more of us women actually putting up a fight?" 18 glared at both of them.

"No, nothing here� just� watching the ocean�" Yamucha stammered.

"Honey, relax� it was just� I'm not used to seeing any other woman as powerful as you� or nearly�" said Krillen nervously.

"Get me a wine cooler, goon," 18 said with a bored sigh. She wandered up and sat on the porch, Marron toddling up to her with a squeal of delight.

"Mommy you kicked butt!"

"Great, just great," Krillen groaned, marching over to the cooler and fishing out a drink for his wife. He lobbed it into the air, where she promptly caught it by merely sticking up her hand.

***

"Are you okay?" Videl asked, glancing at Tomique.

"Fine, why do you ask?" Tomique glanced back at her.

"Well, for starters I've never known you to be so� bitchy. Not that it's a BAD thing where those guys are concerned, but you're kinda not quite� well� you're all jumpy and edgy�" Videl said concerned.

"I've had better days. A whole lot of bad memories are floating around up here in my head," she said.

"Bad� memories� Gohan told me that you came from a pretty bad world� not the one you originally were from�"

"My whole world was destroyed, Videl� there's very few who could relate to that� except maybe Prince Bejita�" she said.

"Wow� I guess I've got no idea. I mean we went through a lot of terrible stuff when Majin Buu attacked�"

"But you have the Dragon Balls to fix things. We don't. Our heroes failed us, and my world is as good as ashes. I tried to make a new life on the alchemy planet with my two sons, but they were taken by those Kami damned destroyers�" she gritted.

"You don't have to worry about that. Goku and Gohan will protect them� and you're learning to fight. I mean come on; you already DO have pretty good martial arts skills, and the things you do with your powers� I mean you can use ki! I can't� not like Gohan�"

"You're lucky to have someone love you like he does�" said Tomique.

"Come on it's not� like that�"

"Uh huh," Tomique said with a knowing smile. "Just enjoy it. Don't let him go. Marry him and have kids. Just� don't wait� because you never know�"

"I do know," Videl said. "About your husband� I'm sorry�"

"So am I. But� I can't bring him back. Goku said the Dragon balls wouldn't work on someone who doesn't WANT to come back. And Paul's already moved on� to another realm�"

"Like King Kai's planet? Gohan told me about that� when he was training with his powers�" Videl explained.

"Goku mentioned about the Kais. The Four I suppose are like them. I still hear from Paul in my dreams. He tells me all sorts of things about how he has to fight in Other World. To think Goku trained him before he went to fight in the same Budakai you and Gohan were in� then the Buu thing happened," whispered Tomique.

"Funny coincidence�"

"Blackwell I suppose you could say was like Buu, but far more malevolent. The same force for destruction. But he needs a living host. The Destroyers weren't our only problem. Their agents, the Princess, Flame, Bandit and Foxfire were also implements of destruction. Then the Destroyers had their mutated pet dinosaurs. Odd because on your planet dinosaurs are still alive�"

"You mean on your world�"

"They were extinct for centuries. And we didn't have sentient animals like you do here. Things are quite different on my world�"

"Must be confusing to go from one dimension to another�" mumbled Videl.

"Parallel universes. Ace had the power to bend space and time, and he used that power before he died� to scatter us across the universe. I ended up in a world where Alchemy was the main science, and technology was probably like two hundred years in the past. There were cars and phones. But they didn't hover. And there was no television or computers. But my original world was much like Chikyuu..." she said.

"How long has it been since your husband died?"

"It's been at least four years according to the twin's time. And about two for me. Time moved differently between worlds. For them, four years went by without daddy�"

"You�ve been without your husband for FOUR YEARS?" Videl gasped.

"Yes," she nodded. "It's crazy�"

"Hey babe, here's a beer!" Yamucha called. She blinked up and saw him holding up a bottle.

"Sorry about earlier, Yamucha," she said.

"Hey, no hard feelings. I'm kinda glad you've improved so much, sweets. Catch," Yamucha called, throwing her the Budweiser. She caught it easily. Videl caught the can of diet soda that Gohan threw her, and both of them opened their cans.

"Thanks!" she called.

"Videl, are you okay?" asked Gohan.

"I'm just having a little girl talk over here. So give me a while, okay?" Videl called. Gohan nodded and sat down with Yamucha and Krillen to play cards on the beach. Master Roshi and Oolong had pulled up deck chairs to join them on the porch of Kami house. 18 picked up Marron and moved to sit in the shade of the palm trees. Goku shot across the sky, with Goten and the twins rocketing after him. They landed nearby, and went to see what the others were up to. Marron squealed, joining her twins.

Videl glanced sidelong at her asking, "Aren't you� lonely?"

"Yes. There was� someone on the Alchemy world who I was with. But he was killed in a war I had to fight�" she said quietly.

"Isn't there someone HERE?"

"Who?" she blinked.

"You've got hickey marks all over your neck," Videl whispered.

"It's someone at Capsule," said Tomique. "But it's our secret."

"But it's GREAT� I mean you found someone ELSE!" Videl said. "Not that you NEED a guy friend but�"

"We're keeping it a secret. Because it's against company policy to date co workers�"

"You don't WORK for capsule!" Videl protested.

"I work in Buruma's research unit so I do," said Tomique. "I insisted on a job because I hate charity. Besides, I can't earn anything working for Goku as a housekeeper� I do lab work and research, and well� I only stay at Goku's because he has my sons there, and I don�t' want to have them not know me as t heir mom�"

"My mom died when I was younger. At least they HAVE a mom. You know all about my Dad," she winced.

"Who can forget Hercule Satan?" she teased. "Well, the man I married was a rock star. So I know what you're dealing with�"

"A rock star. Boy I feel sorry for you," Videl winced. She glanced at Tomique's bruised skin and burns.

"A lab accident," Tomique said quickly.

"Are you sure you're okay? IT looks like a NASTY burn� wait THAT'S why you were gone for two whole days� you had an accident?" she asked.

"Yes," she nodded.

"Hey Atomique-san, why don�t' you join us over here?" called Goku.

"C'mon, let's go join the boys," said Videl, crawling to her feet. She extended a hand to Tomique, who took it reluctantly. Yet she went into the circle of the Z fighters to pretend that she had some circle of friends for now. They were a ragtag motley crew, but they were accepting of most people. Even Bejita at times, who wasn't much for socializing.

"Lab accident, huh?" asked Master Roshi. "I wondered why you weren't showing off that cute set of legs�"

"Shut up you ecchi," Videl grumbled at him.

"Just giving her a compliment� sheesh!" Master Roshi threw up his hands. "Can't an old man in his twilight years enjoy looking at the merchandise?"

"Depends on if it's for sale or not," said Tomique glancing at him with a smile.

"Now SHE gets what I'm talking about," Roshi glared at Videl. "But I'm forgetting you're already spoken for�"

"Thank Kami for that," Gohan said, moving over and sitting next to his fiancée. She hid partly behind him like a shield, glaring at the two resident ecchi's, Roshi and oolong.

"Some people can't take a joke," Oolong glanced sidelong at Yamucha.

"Hey, leave ME out of it," Yamucha nervously laughed.

"Considering, you haven't got any claim on you, have you?" Oolong pointed at her.

"I'm seeing someone at Capsule," said Tomique. Goku blinked in confusion.

"Jeez, you never told any of us that�" he said.

"Buruma� well when I was working in her lab, I met him," said Tomique. "And well nobody had better make a HUGE deal, because it�"

"It's against Capsule policy to date co workers, boy I know that line!" Yamucha rolled his eyes. "Well luckily I didn't work for capsule when I was dating Buruma. I just lived there�"

"Even when you were�?" asked Krillen before Yamucha waved his hand quickly.

"Well, it WAS a nice place to live. Besides, Buruma and I go WAY back� I mean she's MARRIED now, but even after we broke up I still hung around to train there�"

"You mean the ten million times you broke up and got back together," Oolong commented.

"Ancient history, my man, ancient history," Yamucha sighed. "Because I've got a honey I'm seeing that's a nice steady sure bet�"

"So he says now," Gohan mumbled to Videl.

"Watch the circus, it will get fun from here," Videl whispered back, shaking her head. "And I thought my dad was hopeless."

Bohr and Fermi scooted over to sit by Tomique. "Mommy, why are you so sad?" asked Bohr.

"Did you get into a fight?" Fermi asked.

"Well� yes� I had a disagreement with� a co-worker�" she said. "And I was in the hospital�"

"Who?" asked Fermi.

"I promised them I wouldn't tell. It's nothing you two need to worry about. It's a grown up problem," she said quickly.

"Did Unlce Bejita-sama beat them up for you?" asked Fermi.

"Well, two of his friends did," said Tomique. "Look, let's not talk about this. It's not something you two need to worry about. I'll be fine�"

"You should tell Son-kun-san," said Bohr sternly. "He'll take care of them�"

"He already knows," said Tomique quietly. "He and Prince Bejita. They'll� make sure I'm fine�"

"Do you have to work so far away?" Fermi wondered. "I know you need money and all� but�"

"She doesn't want people to think she and Son-kun-sama are married cause he still has a wife and she's gone away a long time," Bohr said.

"Wait a second, you weren't supposed to know that!" Fermi glared at him.

"Oops," said Bohr, looking ashamed of spilling something he shouldn't.

"Who told you that?" she asked.

"Videl and Gohan-kun were talking about it," Bohr said with wide eyes.

"Look you guys, you don't have to worry about your Mommy. No matter WHAT happens with me, or Son-kun, you'll always have a family to care for you� got it?" she said to both of t hem. "I won't leave you again!"

"We know that you didn't leave us behind in a mean way," Bohr said.

"Don't be sad Mommy, you've got us. And we know you gotta work, okay? And that you gotta train to be strong� so don't cry!" Fermi said, hugging her tightly.

"You're too young to worry about those things," she said quickly. "You should be like Son-kun-san and just worry about learning to fight and enjoy life!"

"She's right, you know," Goku said, moving closer. "You guys don�t' have to worry about those things. So stop already will ya? Now who wants some ice cream?"

"Thanks," She whispered to him. He nodded with a knowing wink, getting up to wander over into the house and find what the two boys were after. Bohr crawled on her lap and leaned against her, while Fermi leaned against her abused ribs. She hugged them closely, letting a few tears slip down her cheeks.

*****************

The next day or so she felt Radditzu's presence as she walked towards the lab. With long legged strides he shadowed her, his constant presence a comfort. Still her body tingled from the residuals of their encounters, making her feel far better than she had in ages.

As she passed the GR chamber she saw Nappa emerging with Trunks. "Hello Atomique-san," Trunks waved.

"Hello, how's things?" she asked.

"Your majesty," said Radditzu, inclining his head.

"You look well," Nappa glanced at her, his eyes falling on the strange purple bruise on her neck. "You behaving yourself, whelp?"

"Depends on what you mean," said Radditzu, giving a suggestive smirk to Nappa.

"You treating him good?" Nappa winked at her.

"The best," she said.

"What am I missing?" Trunks asked.

"You'll find out when you're older, your Majesty," Nappa laughed. "C'mon, let's go find the Prince, he'll nail my butt to the wall if you're not up in time for lunch!"

"Later!" Trunks waved. "By the way, Atomique-san, my Mom told me that she's cool with the last batch� whatever that means!"

"Thanks! Bye�" she waved to Trunks and Nappa. Her face flushed pink, causing Radditzu to raise a brow in question.

"Are you all right, Tomique-chan?" he asked. She flushed even more pink.

"How embarrassing!" She whispered. "No offense Radz, but he's looking at me like a piece of meat still!"

"He's jealous," Radditzu grunted with a self-satisfied smirk. His hand nudged her shoulder, urging her in front of him.

"I'm wondering if I'm tempting fate coming here�" she mumbled, stopping at the lab. Radditzu reached around her shoulder to tap in the numerical code. Only he, Buruma and Tomique knew the combination, in case Jeannie or someone else would try and bother her.

The door slid open, and Radditzu glanced warily around, urging her in with a hand on her shoulder. Nodding, he followed her, then let the door slide shut. He took up a position right inside, arms folded across his chest. Atomique slid on her lab coat, then bustled about the lab turning on equipment. "Okay, this is going to be an interesting project. I have the starting material�"

Glancing over her shoulder she saw Radditzu standing there like a statue, watching her. It made her nervous and excited at the same time. Off the shelves she grabbed her notebooks, then grumbled because the reagents she wanted were too high up. "Damn it� hey, Radz, could you help me?"

"Of course," he mumbled, striding over, and standing right behind her to reach for the jar of reagent she wanted. "Foolish girl you should have asked if you wanted�"

"Thank you. I hate being short," she mumbled. "Say, would you like being my lab assistant?"

"I would not wish to disrupt her Majesty's work�"

"Well, you're a smart guy, so if I direct you, why not? I need an extra pair of hands� and well, if Saiyans are from such an advanced race� or am I babbling?"

"You're babbling," Radditzu grunted in amusement.

"Are YOU a scientist?" she asked, turning on him.

"Why would you say that?" he asked with a wry grin.

"You know about quantum energies. Or is that child's play to an advanced civilization like yours?"

"Hardly," Radditzu snorted, then grabbed the glassware she directed him to get. He hefted a huge drum of acetone up and filled the reagent bottles she brought.

"Thanks. They get empty so fast cleaning this dang glassware. Now I'm going to be making another batch of the polymer, and I need just the right conditions� can you generate UV light?"

"UV light?" he asked. "You mean to polymerize?"

"Yes, exactly. Since you can create energy, maybe YOU can generate the specific wavelength I need. Radiant energy's not my forte�"

"Show me," he said, and she pushed the notebook over so he could pick up her research notes. Radditzu mumbled as he glanced through it, then watched over the top as Atomique assembled the glass reactors. He shot out his hand to steady the top of the condenser so she could screw clamp it down, then fasten the clamps in place. Putting down the notebook he then watched her pour nasty starting reagents into the round bottom flask, then clamp it in place as well.

"Okay, just cup your hands around the bottom here� I need something of a wavelength between 220 and 190 nanometers�" she said.

"Metric," he mumbled. "That would be 40,000 radver� all right� I got it�"

"You catch on quick," she said, slipping her glasses on with the filters. "Now just give it a few bursts�"

Radditzu closed his hands around the round bottom flask at the base of the glass setup. Atomique turned on all the appropriate water coolant valves and vapor traps. The magnetic stirrer swirled the opaque white mixture in its reaction flask. Concentrating, Radditzu's palms glowed a faint purple as he struggled to get the appropriate wavelength.

"Okay, I'll take aliquots out and see where we are," she said, inserting a needle into the septum port on one side of the reactor. Drawing out a bit of liquid in her syringe she walked over to the gas chromatograph and injected it inside. A series of peaks in a few minutes came out to indicate retention times before they were fed into a mass spectrometer. From the pattern of upright bars the computer whirled through its database of millions of chemical compounds.

"Not too long, I trust�"

"M244, we've got it," she said.

"Was this the material our replacement armor was to be constructed of?" Radditzu asked, glancing at the spectral pattern. "Because the molecular composition fragmentation pattern looks exactly like� one of the components of Saiyajin armor."

"A polymer as dense as diamond, but lightweight enough to be formed into any shape. That's it�" she nodded.

"You discovered this without your alchemy powers?"

"Yes," she nodded. "I deduced how to synthesize the material�"

"She could have simply asked one of us� but knowing the Prince he wasn't knowledgeable of the technology, since only a few of us are left alive," said Radditzu. "Unfortunately between Nappa and myself much of our technical knowledge is lost�"

"A damn shame. All this� the regeneration tanks, the scouters, all of this is extremely advanced. It would be a shame to lose it," she said.

Sheepishly Radditzu regarded her. "Can I stop the irradiation now?"

"Of course,' she said.

"Tomique-chan, the inventions you describe were only perfected by the Saiyans, not invented," he murmured. "The Prince would have my HEAD for admitting this� but since you're a scientist like myself� I think you should know."

"It's not necessarily always who invents something first, it's what the people after them do with it. You realize that nobody cared about half the things Edison invented till he found a use for them. Marie Curie had to work in a damn horse stable to isolate radium, and it was only when she discovered it did they even give a damn and give her any recognition! It took years for the significance of her work and others to make any impact�"

"I've read much about Earth scientists. Some don't impress me, but those in chemistry and physics are interesting," he said.

"You purged planets I take it. I supposed you'd have to know some science to know it they could be worth selling to support life," she said.

"I was an expert in exobiology, and atmospheric chemistry," Radditzu said proudly. "I was on the teams that determined the viability of transplanting customers to habitable worlds� before we� purged them of their native life�"

"Humans are JUST as guilty as you are. Remember the Spaniards, or the English? We would kill the natives to take their land, JUST like you Saiyans did with your worlds. So we're not as different as we thought," she reminded him. "And we're doing it in my century. Purging planets of their native life so we can colonize them� it's a principle called Scientification�"

Radditzu's eyes widened. "You don't say�"

"Well, Arthur C. Clarke talked about the human need to colonize other worlds. But others said that humans had no right to leave our world and pollute space with our race. But many scientists and technologist wouldn't hesitate to colonize other worlds regardless of what was there. We build oil wells in areas that we clear of wildlife� and build our homes in habitats and kill creatures we regard as 'vermin�' so you see�"

"Indeed. And some humans would say Saiyans were savage. Your race has an innate capacity for violence that rivals our own. Perhaps that's why the Prince wished to live here?" Radditzu said.

"It's our pride and shame. We're not so different, Radditzu. We're even simian in our ancestry. Humans descended from apes, according to the latest in theories�" she said, opening a textbook for him to see. She punched keys on the computer and rung up a website about Neanderthal and Australopithecus. "That's an ancestor called Lucy. She was an Australopithecus apherensis�"

"Looks very Saiyan," he mumbled. "But the tail's already lost�"

"We're basically only 1 percent different in DNA composition to chimpanzees," she shrugged. "We're hairless apes who've lost our tails. You Saiyans have retained them, but adapted to higher gravity worlds. We're just more fragile�"

"Humph, interesting. No wonder the Prince was able to have viable offspring. And my brother as well," Radditzu nodded slowly. "Perhaps it was wise to leave this world unpurged. The Saiyan race is hardly surviving. We were so fixated on purging that we had neglected the survival of our own species. But I was anxious to find my brother Kakkarot because he was what remained of my family�"

"Radditzu, didn't you ever have a mate?"

"No. My world was destroyed before I chose one. Frieza didn't think highly of breeding. He said Females were for sexual satisfaction only. Breeding was to be done in labs�" said Radditzu. "Only third class Saiyans and Royals bred the old fashioned way. There weren't many females by the time our world blew up� or was blown up� by Frieza�"

"You know?" she asked.

"The Prince told Nappa and I. That's another reason we aren't returning. He lied to all of us. And slowly he slaughtered all Saiyans by sending them on suicide missions. My friend Turles, my father and mother, Nappa's mate Cabernet� and her comrades Merlot, Chablis, Chardonnay� and all the others I'd ever known�" he said angrily. "It was so much easier to kill and purge."

"You're the last of your kind," she said. "As am I. My world is ashes Radditzu. Blackwell is much like Frieza. He destroyed my family� all I have left are my sons Bohr and Fermi�"

"I share your anger," Radditzu said, grasping her shoulders. "Perhaps my Prince will lead a mission to avenge you as well as us. Because the Destroyers in the reality Nappa and I originate from were in Freiza's pay�"

"WHAT?" she asked.

*************************

"It's true. Destroyers were one of the races Saiyans sold planets to. They inhabited worlds and needed ones that had requisite habitations for their experiments. They hired Nappa and I to help them purge your world, but we saw it was already in ashes and not worth our time. Then they sent us after you and your friends� in exchange for information on our Prince's whereabouts�" said Radditzu. She pushed away in anger, beating the table as she gritted her teeth.

"Shit�" she sobbed. "It never ends�"

"If you have enmity towards me I understand," Radditzu said. "But I did what I had to� for my own survival�"

"So did I," she said, raising her head. She moved over and buried her face in his armored chest, beating her fist on it. Radditzu swallowed hard, not sure of what she expected, but he recalled watching on television what the humans called comforting. Either that or she wished to mate.

"Don't cry female, you've every right to your anger,' Radditzu said.

"IT never goes away. You were sent to kill me� and you spared me� why?"

"You should know the reason now, Tomique-chan. I had my needs, and wanted you even then, because no female before had your power level," Radditzu purred, stroking her back and running his hands down to squeeze her backside.

"Thank god for horny monkey men," she sniffled.

"Hmm, speaking of� perhaps you'd be� improved in disposition if I attended to a need," he murmured in her ear, grasping her up and setting her on a nearby lab counter that was emptied. He climbed on top of her, pinning her beneath massive muscular thighs, his hands squeezing and kneading her sizable breasts.

"Don't tear the coat please," she whispered. Radditzu managed to unbutton it then helped peel her out of it. Slowly he pulled her hands up to his chest, and she undid his armor. Once unhindered, he rubbed his fingers inside her body, then withdrew them to lick her sweetness off.

"You taste delicious," he whispered, taking his time instead of being wild. Again he teased her with his tail, while moving his head down to nip and suckle her breasts. Moaning she held his face by burying her hands in a vast spiky forest of his hair. Thankfully it acted as a privacy screen to any prying eyes. Under her body was the lab coat, keeping the cold of the lab bench from harming her.

Radditzu slipped inside of her with a tortured moan of relief. She winced, closing her eyes, and he teased her clit for added moisture. Then he managed to slide the rest of the way in till he had filled her completely. "Oh hell I don't know if I'll get used to this�" she gasped.

"You're sheathing me perfectly, I'm almost fully inside you, Tomique-chan," he growled, biting at the scars on her shoulder. She raised her legs to wrap around his hips, crossing her ankles at the base of his tail. Using the appending to secure her hips, he let his fingers rub between them. She kissed and bit on his mouth, muffling her grunts and moans against his face. For a time he lazily moved in and out, letting her have a break from his usual savage pounding. She was likely still sore from their frequent encounters.

"Ohhh, Kami," she gasped, biting on his shoulder but avoiding his neck. Radditzu relished the tight squeezing of her thighs, flickering his tongue over her lips as he thrust harder and faster. She squeezed down on his cock from within, shuddering under his massive body.

"Indeed," he growled. He bared his teeth while staring directly into her eyes with those bottomless pools of black she found so intriguing.

"Radz-chan," she groaned, reaching for him, and he crushed her lightly to his muscular chest with those massive arms.

"Would you like more, Tomique-chan?" he purred then disintegrated into a series of intelligible harsh syllables.

"As much as you can give� I can take it� I can't get enough�" she begged. "Please Radditzu, I need you� I need more�"

"Patience, female, and I enjoy how you're begging me so nicely," Radditzu purred, his vibrations rumbling through her with greater force. Finally he emptied himself inside her, stabbing violently one last time. She reached down to caress his velvety underside for added stimulation, while holding his neck down with fingernails digging through his hair.

Groaning, she lay there, feeling his hot breath pulsing on her neck. Shakily with one hand he braced his torso off her, taking most of the weight on his knees. His fangs sank into that juncture near her jugular, and he was sucking lightly on her blood like some blasted vampire. Tomique let him, and then felt dizzy. "Hey� I'm going to pass out�"

"Hmm, how rude of me, here," he said, pushing her face to his shoulder. "You may partake� it is still freshly scabbed."

"Vampire," she mumbled, tearing into the scab and letting some of his blood trickle into her mouth. Radditzu closed his eyes, humming in pleasure at the feel of the human drinking his blood.

"That�s it, take as much as you need, love," he whispered, holding her on his lap as he straightened up. She withdrew her lips when the blood clotted, looking up at him as she licked the excess away.

"I never though blood could taste good. This is WEIRD," she whispered.

"It will increase your strength, Tomique-chan. Give you the energy you need to keep up with me," he said.

"It tastes like human blood," she said as he kissed her. A round mark on his shoulder matched one on hers, and that nasty purple bruise on her neck. Finally she tried to disengage.

"I'm not done yet, Tomique," he snorted impatiently, grabbing her hips and thrusting his hardening cock back inside. She groaned in protest.

"Won't your Prince get suspicious?"

"I'm guarding you, and your polymer needs to sit for ten hours. So I can't think of a better way to amuse ourselves, can you?" he said with a smirk.

"True, but it's not THAT comfortable, buddy�"

"What?"

"On a lab counter pounding your ass. Now like THIS I'm pretty comfy�" she said, shifting her hips on his thighs.

"I'm surprised I�m not DEAD. I'm black and blue all over�"

"Saiyan sex is rough, Tomique�" he laughed. "And you've left your mark on ME as well�"

She saw he was red in places where her nails had dug into his skin. Small half moon shapes and bite marks mottled his chest, thighs, and shoulders. Radditzu smirked and reached up on his upper arm to pull off one of the matching arm rings then latched it around her upper thigh.

"Hey, what's THAT for?"

"Interesting how it fits you there so well," he said.

"This is yours, you dummy I can't take this�"

"Don't refuse a Saiyan's gift," he growled mock threateningly. He reached around her upper right arm, and fitted another matching armlet that he had pulled out of his boot somewhere. Now he only wore the band on his right thigh, and upper right arm.

"I'm not even going to ask," she said, fingering the strange metal, which gleamed like copper with a shiny luster. "But if it makes you happy I'll wear them�"

"So you don't forget who you belong� I mean who protects you," he caught himself.

"IS there something you're not telling me, huh?" she asked, grabbing his cheek. "You biting me HERE where I�m not supposed to bite you, and now you're giving me jewelry�"

"None of your concern. It's meaningless to a human," he snorted.

"Hey buddy�" she snorted. "Don't give me THAT attitude�"

"Fine if you don't want them," he snorted.

"I want them damn it. I'm sorry I opened my mouth, sheesh!" she grumbled. "It's just that it's been ages since a guy's given me jewelry that's it!"

"Ah, I see," Radditzu said, finishing his last gasp into her, and she lay against him, sated as he lay back on the lab counter. Resting atop his body, she stroked patterns on his scarred chest. He ran a finger up and down the burns that were healing on her hands and upper thigh.

"It won't go away, but the color's better�"

"It looks good on you. A female always looks good with scarring. IT shows her strength," said Radditzu.

"You'd probably think Yamucha was attractive�"

"Hmm, yes," Radditzu nodded. "Although don't misunderstand� I have had� experiences with males, but it was only out of desperation or humiliation�"

"Doesn't bother me," she laughed. "Bisexuality isn't unknown on this planet. Just as long as you've had all your shots�"

"Saiyans don't get weak diseases," he snorted.

"Then you're clean. What a relief," she mumbled.

"IF that means I�m free of sexual parasites you are correct�"

"Don't worry I'm on the pill� I mean I'm not going to get pregnant�"

"What a shame," he mumbled.

"Huh?" she asked.

"Nothing, don't concern yourself," he mumbled, rubbing a hand over her body and wishing that he could plant his seed in this human. Her body was built for child bearing. Suddenly Radditzu tensed, sitting up. He let out a loud snarl, and blocked her body with his.

"What?"

"Get dressed, we're not alone," he said, pulling away and grabbing his armor. She quickly struggled into her clothes, and Radditzu rushed to the door, only wearing the bottoms of his armor. He tugged on his wrist guards, and stood just outside the door, raising his palm with ki flickering.
