Radditzu Visits His Brother
I don't own DBZ, Toriyama does, so does Funimation and Toei Animation Co. I don't get paid for this, so don't sue me! Thanks to Bulma the Babe for the Beta!
Around the small table the family gathered at around half past seven at night. Son Goku sat at the head, while his older brother Radditzu sat to his left. Next to the Saiyan warrior settled Atomique. Videl sat across from Radditzu, while Goten and Trunks sat on her other side opposite Atomique. The chair at the foot was empty, because Gohan flitted about, fixing food and placing it on the table.
Before dinner Radditzu had taken off the chestpiece and shoulder guards of his armor, donning one of Son Goku's T shirts to appear less threatening. Below the waist he still wore the traiditional Saiyan armor. Both Fermi and Bohr helped Gohan to pile stacks of food before the brothers. Radditzu figured his scouter was someplace in the house, and hoped the child would return it in one piece.
"Sit down, I can get that," said Videl to Gohan. Her boyfriend set huge platters of steamed rice, vegetables and others on a revolving trivet at the center. Huge tables to the sides were piled with multiple bowls. An enormous plate of egg rolls were set near Radditzu, and he felt his mouth watering.
"I'm fine," Gohan said. Radditzu watched Goku dipping a ceramic ladle into his bowl of egg drop soup instead of using the chopsticks. Relaxing, Radditzu picked up the ceramic ladle and mimicked his younger brother's eating style. By lifting the soup bowl nearby he could spoon what he couldn't reach directly to his mouth.
"Sit down, Gohan," said Goku, glaring at his son. Fermi sat on a booster seat next to his mother, while Bohr nudged between Videl and Gohan's chair.
"Sit down Gohan-sama?" Bohr asked. "Next to me?"
"I believe he wants your help, son," said Goku, nodding to Atomique's child looking up longingly at Gohan. Radditzu watched this out of the corner of his eye, amazed how comfortable the Son family was with Atomique's two boys.
Sighing, Gohan flopped into his chair. "All right Dad," he sighed.
Videl got up, and motioned for Goten to help her serve her fiancée some food. Atomique felt the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife, and a very dull one at that. Egg rolls vanished quickly, followed by steamed rice and eight treasures chicken piled on top.
So far Radditzu struggled to shovel rice into his mouth with his chop sticks. Most of it landed on his face and hair unfortunately. Gohan ignored his uncle as he scarfed down his eighth and tenth bowls of eight treasures. Son Goku devoured vast amounts of cooked noodles, chopsticks flying with incredible speed that was almost a blurr.
A bit of food landed on Atomique's lap, and she heard Radditzu cursing in Saiyaneese. "You all right?" she asked him.
"No..." he grumbled.
"Let me help you..." she said. He glanced anxiously at his brother and nephew outpacing him in the food consumption and struggled to wrap his huge fingers around the ivory chopsticks.
"Here... just put this one between your thumb, and this one here... like a pair of long fingers..." she said, positioning them in Radditzu's grasp. He clumsily dug them into the bowl, and almost dumped half the lump onto her lap and his. With her help he got it to his mouth.
Picking up the piece of chicken that landed on her lap she held it between her thumb and forfinger. Radditzu dropped the chopsticks shakign his head while she held it up to him. "This is yours I believe."
His tongue flickered over her fingers as he ate it directly from her hand. "Thank you, woman," he rumbled, licking the sauce from her sticky fingers.
"Um... you're... welcome..." she blinked, seeing him give her a smoldering stare.
"Hold up your bowl to your face like this," Goku said through a mouth full of eight treasures chicken. "Then all ya gotta do is shovel it down..."
"Hmm, that works MUCH better brother," said Radditzu with relief. Goku nodded and then resumed eating.
"Was what my uncle said in that language...a bad word?" asked Goten to Trunks.
"That's the same thing my dad says when the GR blows up," Trunks grinned. Goten chuckled.
For the remainder of dinner she listened to Goku telling Radditz all about the history of the mountain and his childhood. With interest his brother listened intently, while the others ate in silence. Trunks and Goten thankfully talked about all manner of things that kids their age loved. Videl did her best to keep Gohan from blurting something inappropriate out.
Finally the dishes were collected, and Atomique got up to help wash. Radditzu suddenly got up as well, and glanced at the people around the table. "I'll assist you," he said to everyone's amazement.
"I'll be studying," Gohan sighed again, and let Videl walk him out into the living room again, each of them carrying a twin. Goten and Trunks rushed out in a flurry to resume their video game where it last left off, leaving Goku alone with his brother and house guest.
"I'll wash, you dry," said Atomique. She threw a towel to Radditzu, and lined up next to Goku by the wash basin.
Dishes floated and bobbed under his hands. Radditzu messed with the dishes she handed him, finally using his tail at one point to maneuver the drying cloth as he called it into position. He glanced over at Goku and said, "Your son doesn't trust me"�"
"Oh, give him a chance to warm up to you! He isn't on the verge of flipping out anymore"� not like the first few times you visited"�"
"He's sticking around, and letting Videl stay," said Atomique. "Give them time, they'll come around. You're an acquired taste. If anyone gets along with the prince"� no offense"� they can get along with ANY Saiya-jin"�"
"The meal was adequate, Brother. You have two fine sons, and your house is small but comfortable"�"
"Thanks to Buruma. I actually grew up in the house across"�" said Goku. "Are you going to stay the night?"
"If it wouldn't be too much trouble"�"
"You could sleep in the guest bedroom"� or in the guesthouse"� there's a sofa and a couch"� or I could bunk there," said Goku.
"I don't wish to inconvenience you," said Radditzu. "I shall sleep in the hut if you wish. It isn't any worse than any of the encampments at training on Bejitasei"�"
"I'll help you get settled," said Atomique. "Where will Gohan and Videl be staying?"
"Well, you and she can have the master bedroom tonight. I'll just crash on the sofa here. Trunks and Goten will be with the boys in the big room," Goku offered.
"Unless the lovely lady wishes to grace me with her company," Radditzu whispered as she walked past.
"Dream on," she groaned, rolling her eyes. Yet she felt a small thrill at the thought of such an obvious flirtation.
She turned to Goku and said, "I don't want to put you out. I'll sleep in the guest room... Videl can have your bed..."
"Well, I can make the guest bed up..." said Son Goku.
"I'll sleep... in Grandpa Gohan's house," she said, much to Goku's surprise. "It has a fold out sofa, right?"
"Yes..." nodded Goku. "And one bed... are you sure?"
"We're adults," she said to Goku. Shrugging he got up and left them to finish.
"I'll put the twins to bed. You can finish up in here," Son Goku said with a smile. He left Atomique and Radditzu to finish putting things away. They quickly stashed the dishes and Radditzu followed her to collect his armor.
Together they crossed the yard to the small house. She unlocked the front door with a small key, and opened the creaky wooden doors. Radditzu ran a hand over the markings on the diamond logo, asking, "What is this writing say?"
"That's Chinese character for 'Son'," she said, showing him in. "It's actually quite cozy. And there's a real authentic bathhouse in the rear"�"
"Interesting," Radditzu said. He dumped his armor on the table, then walked into the small one room space.
A large box bed dominated one wall, while a small futon was directly across. In the center stood a two person table. Various storage cabinets lined all four walls. A small door led to the only other room in the house, which was presumably the WC and bath area. The Saiyan warrior smelled her indecision regarding returning to the main house, or staying here with him. While she moved back towards the front door, Radditzu stopped her with a hand on her arm.
"I will not disturb you if you wish to remain here"�" he said, wanting to reassure her she was safe in his presence.
"My boys might need me"�" she said quickly, shifting weight from one foot to another.
"I wish to speak with you woman, if you'll allow me to share your company," he said, catching hold of her hand.
"Radditzu, I'm really tired"� if you don't mind"�"
"Then sleep there. I'll make no noise. I'll even sleep on that mat there.The house is crowded. Why do you sleep there when here is perfectly suitable. Unless you prefer the luxuries of that more modern dwelling"�"
"You don't get it do you? I like being surrounded with people. Maybe on your planet they like to fight and kick each other"�"
"You don't know my culture, woman," said Radditzu sharply. "Don't presume to know me before you've had the chance to"�"
He stopped at the angered look in her dark eyes. Then he zipped out to appear before her, stopping her from rushing out the door. Grunting, she collided with his chest. He said, "Forgive me, I spoke in haste"�"
"What do you want, Radditzu?" she asked, backing away from him.
"Simply to apologize for my ill manners. I'm not accustomed to being around people as you said. This"� takes getting used to. Stay"� and I'll watch over you should you require anything"�"
"Why are you being so nice?" she asked with a small smile.
"Because you are a guest of my brother. And why should I not be polite? Or did you expect me to be a bloodthirsty pain in the ass like Nappa?" he asked quietly.
"Actually I expected you to be more like the Prince," she whispered. Radditzu widened his eyes, not sure of what she meant, but she was wise not to qualify it further because he sensed that she meant it as an insult.
"I shall not bother you further," he said quietly. "But should you need anything I'll be here"�"
"Okay"� I'm going to turn in," she said, reaching her hand out to his.
"What custom is this?" Radditzu chuckled.
"A handshake. It's western, but it's what friends do on this planet in some places," she said. He extended his hand, and then she put hers in it to give it a firm shake.
"Odd customs. Sleep well, woman," he said as she walked away and started to unfold the futon.
"You can have the bed. I'll sleep here..." she said, fitting sheets on top of it.
"Woman, that is not necessary," he asked.
"It's logical You're much bigger than I, and it's not a problem. Don't argue okay? I'm too tired to answer," she yawned, dissapearing into the washroom to change.
Sighing he changed into a pair of flannel pajama bottoms that Son Goku had given him. When she emerged, she slid between the sheets of the futon, and turned with her back facing Radditzu. He piled his armor on the table, and then climbed gingerly into the chinese box bed. Muttering to himself he turned so he was confortable in the bed that was considerably larger. Soon he was fast asleep.
Atomique lay in the futon, curled up under the silk covers as she did every night. How ironic she thought. I'm living as close to what seemed a normal life with a man she wasn't even married to. Living more like a wife than she ever had with Star Child.
Turning over she faced the wall, with her back to the door. She mumbled, half expecting in her sleep that it would be son Goku walking in wearing flannel pajama bottoms. Part of their silent understanding meant sharing the bed in a purely platonic manner, since both adults missed having a warm body to curl up to. In addition, due to her increasing nightmares Goku's presence was the only thing that prevented their recurrence. Radditzu blinked awake, slowly swinging his legs around to hit the floor.
Radditzu had heard her soft whimpers and come to investigate her as she slept. Curled under the sheets she seemed so small and vulnerable. A selfish thought rushed through his mind and he wondered if she might enjoy the feel of his body. From his limited contact he smelled Son Goku on her person. While he had assumed Goku and Atomique had slept together, he was relieved to see no bite mark on her neck. Also, he smelled no saturation of Son Goku's scent that indicated posession beyond the platonic.
He climbed carefully out of the box bed, tugging at the waistband of the plaid pajama pants he wore. Smiling he wandered over to the futon and pulled back the covers silently as possible. While he was just as likely to sleep in his armor, it wouldn't do for what he had in mind, possibly, if she woke and found herself in his arms.
Carefully he lifted her body under the arms and back, carrying it towards the box bed. He lay her down closest to the wall, and pulled the covers overtop of her. Then he slid in next to her, arranging the covers and sheets so they were both safely cocooned inside.
"Relax, Tomique-chan, I won't hurt you," Radditzu whispered, his voice choking with unfamiliar softness.
Instinctively she turned over, curling close to the male body sliding beside hers. Radditzu smelled her sweet uncomplicated scent and swallowed hard. His body tingled, longing for the touch of a female. Her dark hair was straighter and softer to the touch of his extended fingers that brushed it back. Yet she had the coloring of a Saiyan female, pleasing to the eye. Her body was large busted and wide hipped, adequate for the bearing of children.
Although some Saiyans were born in labs, his father and mother had given birth to him and Kakkarot naturally. Ten males to one female was the ratio, so it had been close to impossible to find him a mate before he was pressed into service with Freiza. In actuality, Radditz was close to Bejita's age. His memories of his world were much clearer, however because Bejita had spent most of his time in the palace and on Frieza's ship. When the planet had been destroyed he'd been away on a purging mission with Nappa. Only a child himself, he had done his job adequately for a third class.
"No, please Paul, don't leave me alone..." she sniffled. Her whimper snapped him out of his reminiscence. She shifted, her eyes flickering beneath her dark lashed lids. Extending his arms, Radditzu wrapped her closely in them, and turned her so her head rested against his bare chest, crisscrossed with scars.
Sighing, she lay her cheek to his, and reached out to stroke her fingers in his hair. He pressed his nose into her hair, feeling the soft locks with a sigh of delight. Her body felt good against his, and he wrapped his tail lightly around her waist possessively to keep her from rolling away in her sleep.
Lately the limited contact she shared with Dragon Womyn consisted of predominately verbal arrows and sarcastic jabs. Instead of telling Son Goku why she had stopped visiting, she chalked it up to spending more time with her sons. Already she had become Goten's personal tutor because he was already behind in his home schooling. He flourished well under her instruction, while teaching her to read and write Mandarin Chinese in exchange.
Across the property, in the master bedroom, Son Goku was tossing and turning. His mind sensed the activity of his charge only a few hundred meters away. Something caused her ki to flare, but he knew it would be foolish to leave the safety of his bed with a house filled with people. Though his instincts told him to leave his home and climb into her bed, his mind and heart told him to stop. She wasn't his to own. He was still mated to Chichi, bound in a bond that stretched back to childhood.
Frowning Son Goku sensed her scarlet chikara surging. He could sense another's presence near her, and blinked in surprise when he realized it was Radditz. A wave of anger flashed over him, then he checked himself. Perhaps the two of them fancied one another. So far all Radditz was doing from the sense of his ki was laying still. There was no sound of anything other than two sleeping bodies across the compound.
Back in the small hut, Radditzu wrapped his arms around her in a hold to stop her from destroying the bed. Anger increased her power levels to those of a mid powered Saiyan. He growled under his breath, and heard her frantic cries close to his ear.
"Damn you"� how can you DO this to me!" she screamed.
"Woman, wake up," he urged gruffly.
She sobbed and clutched convulsively, grabbing onto Radditz for dear life. He smirked for a moment that she sought physical comfort from him, then he shivered. Some presence not of this world or realm alerted his Saiyan instincts far sharper than any human. Because Saiyans were telepathic to some extent, they could think commands to one another to elude an enemy. Perhaps that was why his father had visions of the future"� or was open to gaining such a power from a head injury.
Anger filled him. He wanted to know what was making her cry and scream. His warrior's pride forced him to take the step of reaching his hand forward and cupping her cheek and chin. Growling he focused his energies and pushed gently towards her mind. All his energies drifted towards her as he meditated hard.
"Woman, don't resist me. I want to help," Radditzu spoke aloud. Tendrils of mental energy reached out to form a link with her mind.
Atomique whimpered, allowing Radditzu's ki to surge towards hers. Separating mind from body, he broadcasted his astral form into the courtyard of her mind.
A darkness surrounded him, and he was traveling along the pathway to her conscious mind, now asleep. High walls like a fortress rose before him. He could hear someone's voice echoing within. Subconscious thoughts whispered in a vast rush in other chambers of an extensive maze.
"Tomique-chan, it's Radditzu," the Saiyan called. He rested the flat of his palm along the stone surface of the mental wall. His ki probes gently discerned it was a thick one, indicating she had psychic defensive training. Nodding, he grunted in satisfaction because he knew it would be easier to work with someone accustomed to telepathic bonds.
"Radditzu?" she asked. "Why are you here?"
"I wish to assist you, woman!" Radditzu called, cupping his hands around his mouth. Though he knew he was in a mind alien to his, using unfamiliar symbolism, there were some universal constants to psychic communion. Everything a physical body performed could be duplicated within the mind of the being that a warrior visited. While some would consider this unnecessary, Saiyan warriors found it easier to conduct themselves when using an astral body like their physical one.
Familiar sounds of test tubes clinking from behind the wall mingled with the flickering calculation of scientific computations. Small equations and chemical formulas drifted out from over the wall to land at his feet. Leaning over, he picked up a small flashing chemical symbol, and pondered it. Familiarity sparked his own understanding.
"I'm here... inside the inner recesses of the University. In my laboratory," she said quietly. "What do you want... Radditzu?"
"To help you, baka. I'm trained in mental combat. I won't let you face this alone woman. Besides, how can I sleep with you screaming?" he teased, his astral form clothed in shimmering armor like his daytime self.
"It's not something you should worry about," came her sad voice in the darkness studded with shimmering stars.
"My honor as a Saiyan warrior does not permit me to disobey my Prince," Radditzu called clearly. "I promise I won't go where you don't wish me to be. My Prince ordered me to protect you. That command extends to the sleeping world as well as the waking one..."
Carefully he picked up the discarded chemical equations, shimmering bits of symbolism that took the form of notebooks. He stacked them neatly, and set them on the side. "You're a scientist. Doesn't it make logical sense that you require assistance. You're under attack, and you require the protection of a warrior..."
"You don't think me capable of defending myself?"
"A Saiyan warrior does not presume without evidence. I've observed your defenses are formidable, but you require more control. Haven't you informed my brother that you are under assault from an enemy nightly?"
"How did you know?"
"Please, I am as observant as you are. Any stray information could be of use to a warrior as well as a scientist. I overheard Dragon Womyn complaining of nightmares. Naturally I hypothesized that she had somehow formed a mind link with you, and was assaulting you while you slept..."
"I cannot keep her out... she hammers on my walls nightly," said Atomique. "Walk along to the west wall..."
Radditzu did so, and saw a pile of rubble laying askew of a hole. Recent bricks and fresh mortar showed that someone had repaired it. As he reached out to touch it, he felt the pain and anguish that were involved. "That's how she slipped in?"
"You may stay... if you wish, Radditzu. You have my permission," she said with a resigned sigh. "Then you'll see what I face."
"Thank you, Woman. You shall not regret it," Radditzu bowed. So saying, he walked over to the entrance of the wall, and then stopped when he sensed a foreign presence. Ducking around the corner he stopped to see a ki presence glimmering gold in the distance. Under cover of the wall he waited to see who it was.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom of Goku's home, the other son of Bardock contemplated the same matters Radditzu faced. Frustrated, Son Goku realized her dreams were worse than ever before. Knowing he might regret this step, he focused his power in the way that King Kai had taught him.
By touching two fingers to his forhead he gathered the ki necessary for forming his astral body. In much the same manner he focussed for instant transmission, except he would leave his physical body behind.If Star Child could enter dreams, perhaps he could as well. Slowly over the past few months she'd been acclimating herself to his own considerable ki, allowing him to approach her in more trusting ways.
"Let me in"� I can help," Son Goku transmitted into her mind.
He felt a wall rise up, blocking him. Images from her thoughts flickered in his mind, and the Saiyan prepared himself for mental battle. He and Bejita had done this from time to time, fighting in the realm of the mind.
The image of Radditzu rounded the corner, anger filling his face. Seeing Son Goku's translucent astral form he barked, "Brother! What's the meaning of this?"
Blinking in shock, son Goku demanded, "What are you doing here?"
"I might ask you the same thing, brother," he telepathed back. "Does this happen every night? I sense an enemy attacking her mind!"
"You can enter thoughts?" Son Goku gasped.
"Of course! Saiyans are telepathic, Brother. We are masters of ki in all forms. Surely you know that"�" Radditzu snorted, folding astral arms across his chest. "Our father had the same gifts. It seems that bump on your head has denied you much of your culture."
"I'm not like you in that regard," Son Goku said patiently.
"Our father Bardock had the gift of second sight given to him as accident," said Radditzu. "And in order to have that curse or blessing, he had to have been gifted with some telepathic ability. Most Saiyans do have the ability to send and recieve thoughts, in addition to channeling ki. That's how we communicate unspoken in battle..."
"Oh yeah... Bejita told me. But since you're here"� maybe we can work together"� she's been having these nightmares ever since she first started staying here"�" Goku said eagerly.
"Is this patched hole in her wall your handiwork?" Radditzu asked, rounding the fortress and pointing to the neatly patched hole.
"Yes. I fix it every night when I can," said Goku.
"Why don't you chase whoever it is OUT?"
"Because Tomique-chan asked me not to," Son Goku said, rubbing the back of his neck astrally.
"You baka," groaned Radditzu.
"Hey, it's HER mind. I dont' do anything without her permission... unlike SOME people..."
"She invited me here as well," said Radditzu firmly.
"Goku... Radditzu... please don't argue..." Atomique's voice echoed. "Stay... I don't want to fight any longer. I'm so tired of keeping everything out..."
"We're here to help you, if you want..." said Son Goku.
"Please... don't leave me alone..." she called.
"We'll be right here..." they said. Then her presence turned inwards. Both of them heard the voice ceasing. A dread silence fell over them.
"Very well, Brother. First we must find this enemy and cast him out," said Radditzu. "Have you entered her mind before?"
"Not often"�" said Son Goku.
"She knows I'm here, but the other doesn't. I'll shield myself from her perceptions. You go on ahead and I shall follow," said Radditzu. "If the enemy shows himself I'll attack but not before"�"
"You know what you're doing?" he asked.
"Yes. We Saiyans are trained in the art of psychic battle from a young age. To fight with the mind is the start of training our young"�" said Radditzu.
"All right, let's do this," said Son Goku. Energies shifted as Radditz drifted towards him.
"Let me merge with you. You aren't used to this. We're brothers, perhaps together the enemy might be fooled"�"
"It's like fusion then," Goku said.
"What?" asked Radditzu.
"Fusion. Two bodies becoming one"� I'm ready when you are"�" Son Goku said. "Hold your arms like this... in the SAME position, and then do this..."
He sent a mental image of himself and Bejita performing the Fusion dance. Radditzu rolled his eyes, but nodded. He remembered seeing Trunks and Goten practice this technique multiple times when they sparred together with Prince Bejita. Slowly they stood side by side, arms raised and facing each other. "First synch my power level to yours," said Son Goku.
"Right," nodded Radditzu.
"Left hand like this... right like this. Then you and I spin towards each other... just like you saw Goten and Trunks do... and we touch our fingers like this..."
"It's a ridiculous dance..."
"C'mon it will help us focus..." said Son Goku.
"If it helps Tomique-chan, I shall comply," Radditzu said reluctantly. At Goku's nod, they spun together, index fingers poised to touch.
"Fu...sion... HA!" they chorused.
Both astral images merged into one, and then Radditz vanished from Goku's immediate thoughts. He appeared alone, but knew his brother was there with him, giving him guidance about what he was to face. In their place a long haired figure wearing a vest and loose workout pants remained, his features an astral blend of the two brothers.
"Remarkable," the two together chorused.
"I used the Fusion dance with our astral bodies, to make it easier..." said Son Goku to himself. "But why are we still thinking separately?"
"Because this is a mental fusion?" said Radditzu. "Our astral forms are joined, but I kept my consciouness separate..."
"We must be together in all ways," said Son Goku.
"Very well," Radditzu agreed. Their thoughts merged seamlessly as he accepted the Fusion fully.
"Leave me alone"� damn you!" came her voice.
Fortunately he realized she was not speaking to him. Son Goku/Radditzu opened his eyes, drifting before the vast walled fortress of what appeared to be the college Son Gohan had applied to in Beijing. A black cloud surged and permeated. Son Goku frowned, recognizing a ki as evil as Freezer's or Majin Buu's ever was.
The ki was reaching out from some other dimension, seeping into a tiny crack at the base of her wall. He cursed when he saw someone smashing into it with a double bladed axe. Radditzu's mind directed him to observe first, but Son Goku refused to listen.
"Oi, what are you doing!" Son Goku/Radditzu shouted, his alto voice echoing in the star spangled void of her mind. He flew towards the figure, and widened his eyes when he saw who it was. Dragon Womyn clothed in Saiyan armor was cackling as she smashed down the wall with increasing strokes.
"You fool, wait a moment"�" said Radditzu, letting his thoughts separate momentarily.
"But she's in danger"�" Goku protested.
Son Goku raised his hands to blast then stopped himself. This wasn't his business, was it? But he had to do something"� Perhaps he could take her out with a Kiko-Ha blast. He threw his hands forwards, showering her with a rapid series of blasts that landed on her armor.
"Fine, let's do this then. But don't ignore me"� work with me, Brother," said Radditzu, sensing the mental Fusion having difficulty holding. Goku nodded and opened his thoughts to let them flow together as one.
"Who dares!" she barked, turning to face him. "You're not supposed to be here! Leave!"
"You aren't either!" Son Goku answered. "I'm gonna stop you"� you're not WELCOME here! Leave now and I won't hurt ya"�"
"Get lost, you clown," she laughed with a smirk identical to Prince Bejita. She smashed through the wall, and climbed inside. Son Goku threw himself after her, and suddenly slammed into a violet radiance. He pushed hard, banging his fists on it as he saw what was inside.
She faced off, blinking up from her lab bench littered with transmutation circles. Inside, Star Child stood with crossed arms, looking at her as she walked over to him. "My love"� why won't you speak to me"�" she asked.
"I cannot return. You know as well as I do"�" he said sadly. His arms spanned wide, power crackling around him as his ki flared to almost the level of what it would be if he were Saiyan. A massive burst of energy whirled around, knocking her back so he could increase in size and stature, becoming the Star Child.
"What do you mean?" asked the woman.
"I'm needed on Other World. Astron Tellar needs me to take over as the Star Bearer. It's time for me to move on"�"
"Paul"� you always said you'd be there"� love me," she said. "Why now do you turn from me?"
"I will always love you"� but I have loved many. There are others that need me. I have given you into the protection of one who needs you more than I do"�"
"How can you say such things!" she asked, flaring her own power.
"I am the Avatar"� the Star Bearer. I cannot give my heart to any one woman"� anymore. I am both Paul and he who are needed. I'm so sorry"� I cannot stop it"� I know it's not fair"�"
"Hey!" Son Goku and Radditz together wanted to yell. "She's your wife! You made a promise!"
"Keep back, Saiyan," said Dragon Womyn, aiming a blast that hit Son Goku's crossed wrists. She strode up, erecting a barrier to stop his interference.
Papers and books swirled around her. Star Child sadly looked at her, his star spangled outfit morphing into long purple robes. "See the power I must bear"� Domino and the others need me"� I can't stop from the change"�"
"What change?" she asked. "You said Ace scattered us across space time to protect us"� from Blackwell! When will we return?"
"There is no return," he said sadly.
"What do you mean?" Atomique asked.
"Blackwell's evil has tainted your world far more than we can. Only the power of the Chosen one"� Kiara can cleanse his curse. And only by going within can we purge it of its blackness. I don't' want you or the Twins to be caught up in it. Only the Four can enter inside"� and become what we are destined to be"�"
"What are you saying"� that you are all going to stay dead? Locked in Astron Tellar? Does this mean"�" she stammered.
"What was will now become"� and what will be will be what was before," said Star Child.
"You idiot, he has his duty," said Dragon Woman as she strode forwards and pushed Atomique back. "You have your place. Care for your whelps"�"
"What do you have against me?" she demanded, raising her hands to snare Dragon Womyn in a length of plastic wrap. "Answer me!"
"You deserve no explanation, you second class wench. You are not fit to be his consort. He only has the one he's chosen"�"
"I am your wife!" Atomique called.
"No formal ceremony was made," said Dragon Womyn quickly. "You were a means to make sure his line would continue. Now that you have served your purpose, he has moved on"�"
"Stand aside and let me talk to him!" Atomique yelled.
"I can't stop it"�" Star Child said quickly. "You two must not fight over me! I cannot return to the world of the living! Elliot will remain"�"
"What is going to happen"� you can't come back"� I know"� but why won't you let me feel your love when I sleep!" she demanded.
"All my energies must be for the task ahead. You are their mother, and you know the sacrifices that I must make. You'll be safe in the world that you now inhabit. Strengthen your powers and raise them, so that in due time they will take the place as the Star Bearer."
"But there already IS one in Astron Tellar..." said Atomique.
"Not so. The world that you and I once inhabited IS to become Astron Tellar.Elliot has taken my title upon himself"� he is Next"� all my knowledge I bequeathed to him as Star Child"� as I ascent"�" he said, spanning his arms wide. The waves of coruscating power surged, knocking her and Dragon Womyn back.
"You are magnificent my love," Dragon Womyn whispered. As Atomique rose to push the energies back, Dragon Womyn hurled a blast of fire, cutting her down.
"Why"� why!"
"I remember, though you made me forget, Paul"� I love you and always will. Why did you not entrust the children to me?" Dragon Womyn demanded. "I'm worthy! You loved me the most"�"
"I love many women who I've called wife"� it's not for you to say," Star Bearer said dispassionately. "And you already have your own mate and son"�"
"Who have been taken from me! Elliot is not man enough to love me, the Dragon Womyn. She is not a worthy mother to bear your sons! She is weak!"
"Shut up!" Atomique yelled at her, surging her own powers.
"This one has no honor," said Goku/Radditzu grimly.
"You know I love you, Jeannie"� but our love was forbidden"�." Star Bearer said sadly.
"You bonded with me," Dragon Womyn said quickly, pulling down her collar to show a red welt. "You gave me the blood bond, but you gave HER the children! Why?"
"You love Elliot that way!" she yelled.
"He has abandoned me"� he is not man enough to love me"� not like his father," Dragon Womyn said with a crazed look.
"I am sorry my love"� but I cannot be with you as you wish"� both of you"�" said Paul. "I should have given the bond to you"� my wife"� but now all ties to this life are severed and undone"�"
"Then our marriage was a lie?" gasped Atomique.
"There was no formal ceremony. That priest brother of yours may have thought so"� but his soul bond is with me"� not you"� because you are not worthy," Dragon Womyn said.
"Talk to ME, not her!" Atomique demanded. "Damn you!"
