Prologue
"They are not going to be happy." Raditz put his arms around the smaller male.
"Do you honestly care or are you pointing out the obvious?" his mate inquired.
"You have the most powerful and a most-hated by their team as your mates, it's more than obvious. My concern is with you, as is Broly's."
"I am not afraid, and they don't know me to judge me or my decisions." the smaller turned in his arms, kissing him softly, "Where is Broly anyway?"
"Sleeping no doubt."
"This is my job Ra, the gods sot to give me both of you and for that alone I am thankful. I don't go recklessly and you know if I need help I will call on you."
"Kreed, the fact that they know of your existence even if they don't find out, isn't that odd?"
"You worry too much."
"If Broly were here you would not argue with us, especially not so close to that time."
"For heaven's sake Raditz, if I go now I can be back long before. If they find out about us they'll either get over it or I'll do the job on my own in which case you'll have to drag Broly's happy ass out of bed."
"What about my ass?" the younger saiyan male walked in.
"Never mind he's out of bed, now I really have to go or our happy little living arrangement's going to get invaded by annoying dunderheads who's wives run their existence. Do me a favor and save some fun for me." Kreed kissed them both and disappeared.
"What was that about?" Broly rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Kreed's working a job with my brother and their crack team of protectors." Raditz rolled his eyes and walked off.
"So we get to have time while he deals with whatever plagues the universe with Kakerot's help." Broly grabbed him by his tail.
"Not right this moment we don't, the last thing we need is them finding out about him or us. I like our life as it is, just the three of us in our own place and madly in love."
"If we go after him, Kreed's not going to be happy. Let him do what he needs to, we'll just enjoy ourselves while he's working. If he needs us, he'll call for us." the younger pulled the elder closer, wrapping him in his arms.
-Training field-
"So what the hell do you need from me?" Kreed appeared, his ankle-length auburn hair swayed in the wind. He stood in a black muscle shirt, blue jeans and army issue combat boots. He had beautiful and striking ice blue eyes that seared into the soul. The tattoo on his shoulder, a runic descriptions of his breed and status, showed with additional markings from last he'd worked with the team.
"Hello to you too, Kreed" Piccolo glared.
"I warned you how I get. You chose still to call me and if it's for something foolish my wrath will go unchecked."
"It seems that Broly didn't kill his father. You know who Broly was right?" Goku explained.
"I know the story and a few others don't but whatever." Kreed shrugged, "So what's the deal with this Paragus dude. He got that bad a hard-on about your old man Prince."
"He hates my family." Vegeta looked greatly offended.
"I can't imagine why but my people firmly believe that the sins of the father are his alone."
"He claims Broly's still alive first of all, he tries to attack our families when we aren't around." Gohan looked like he'd not slept in a hot minute.
"So kill him, or do you want me to have Broly finish the job? I'm sure he won't mind." Kreed smirked.
"So it's true." Piccolo looked unenthused.
"What? That Broly's still alive; man you guys really don't know what's going on."
"That you hang around him."
"I've never known you to be anything less than blunt Piccolo, let's not start now."
"You're sleeping with him."
"I am, that's what mates do after all." Kreed rubbed a bite mark on his collar where the younger of his mates sank his teeth the first night they'd mated.
"So the other bit must be true as well." Vegeta sounded far less happy.
"Oh you mean the tidbit about me being mated to Bardock's eldest boy as well? Yeah, that's true too." Kreed laughed, "Oh this is rich, and exactly what they didn't want has happened."
"How long Kreed? You know what happens?" Piccolo noticed his nails growing into long black claws, he was preparing for an attack.
"Tonight, you know why I have two mates too." Kreed flashed eyes of gold, his own power becoming out of control before he felt two hands hold him back and looks up to see Raditz and Broly holding tight to his biceps.
"I told you it was a bad idea, putting it off this long." Raditz sounded almost as if he were chastising him.
"You know what happened the last time it was us alone. I don't trust myself." he groaned as Broly tightened his grip, digging nails into his arm, "Thank you Broly." he turned to the younger.
"You should have summoned me." Broly continued where Raditz left off.
"I know, but I knew you'd be returning soon. If I'd known this was going to get confrontational where I couldn't draw blood I wouldn't have come."
"Then we leave now, Broly take him home. Gods know what'll happen if he tries to do it himself." Raditz let go and watched them leave.
"Raditz!" Goku snapped.
"What little brother? I have a mate that you've all aggravated to deal with." the elder glared.
"How long have you been here?"
"Long before the half-pint was born, I found Kreed nearly six years ago but I've been here since not long after my first arrival."
"Why didn't you ever…" Goku didn't want to sound foolish.
"We have our differences brother and far too many for us to be so close."
"What about Broly?"
"Your brats didn't kill him last time; Kreed brought him home almost like a lost pet at first. He healed more than fairly quickly with Kreed's help; he's not interested in bothering with anyone." Raditz shrugged.
"What did Kreed mean when he said Piccolo knew why he had two mates, does that really matter?" Videl asked.
"I take it this is your female, Gohan? So much like your mother, at least from what I'd seen of her, I guess it's true what they say." Raditz smiled as his nephew nodded, "Piccolo can tell you, or not whatever. You're Kreed's friends; he kept us a secret because we decided it was best. Why he had two mates was his business to share." and he vanished.
"That was weird." Goten and Trunks said.
"So why does Kreed have two mates? And why does it matter?" Videl asked as they sat about.
"Kreed is of a special breed of creatures who some call Sirens because they are musically inclined. Exactly what they are is unknown because they don't make themselves well known anymore. It's said that Sirens and any other creature like them are monogamous eternally; we're talking Banshees, Nightmares, anything except 'Cubi. However in very rare instances, as in he's the first in six thousand years, does one take two mates and very often at least one is of great power, such as Broly."
"So it's almost like a survival of the fittest with one mate?" Vegeta asked.
"Not quite." the Kai answered as they sat in the Kai realm, "All Siren are mostly submissive, their music is their greatest gift so physical strength is unnecessary so they always choose powerful mates more as protectors. Sirens sing out into the universe to find their predestined mate during their first heat, that mate no matter where they are will come to them immediately. Anytime after if their mate is away when their heat begins they sing to summon them home to the Siren's bed, however in Kreed's case he sang Raditz home once and another male was drawn in which if a normal Siren is already been bedded and bonded should never happen."
"What caused Broly to be drawn in if Raditz is Kreed's mate?"
"All Siren's have one element, that of their birth but when a Siren ascends ,which is far rarer than one of you ascending as Piccolo explained, it is only one level higher in which case he/she would control all the elements and untold other powers. It's said their needs become far too great for only one mate and the song draws another in who can fulfill those needs. As a naturally submissive creature at his level of power, Raditz alone isn't enough both as an anchor and a sexual partner. The last Siren who attained this power, his song didn't draw in another mate because said mate didn't come for whatever reason and the power that was released in their mating killed him and the mate who bedded him."
"So what was with the claws?" Gohan asked, "If Sirens use their songs to control and attack an enemy why would he have retractible claws?"
"Banshees and Sirens are one and the same." A new voice came up, the speaker looked like Goku, only older, weathered and with a tail.
"Bardock," the Kai greeted him, "what do you know of these creatures?"
"I've met one, they can move through space so it wouldn't be unusual. There is a very subtle difference between the two creatures, so much so that you seem to have tipped the balance in your brother's mate." Bardock looked at Goku.
"What did I do?" Goku looked stunned.
"The creature I met claimed to be both Banshee and Siren, and yet neither at the same time. He explained that due to a horrible incident in his life and how well he recovered that he the incident had created a Banshee in him and his purity of the mind, as he called it, made him also a Siren."
"So Kreed's the same way, and we upset the balance?" Gohan inquired.
"Exactly, with Raditz and Broly close enough to stop him the Banshee stays in its cage and Kreed doesn't show you why he's called Hellfire Kreed."
"I pity them, he's dangerous as a Siren." Piccolo's face remained neutral.
"I don't as I can imagine I know exactly what they're doing to assuage the situation." Bardock chuckled.
