AN: The "Yoke" is more like a collar. Thank you Sarah for Beting.
Chapter 6: Bubbles, That Cheeky Monkey.
"Blast you, you damn ape!" Raditz shouted with his brother trailing by a foot. The little monkey jumped up and down and in delight. Raditz shook his fist at Bubbles, "I'll get you, you cheeky monkey!" The ape responded by shaking his fist at Raditz in the same way the Saiya-jin did and grunted in a similar tone.
"YOU DARE MOCK ME?!" Raditz yelled, and the little monkey shouted right back. "I'LL GET YOU!" Raditz ran after Bubbles like a freight train.
Raditz dashed after playful simian, slowly closing the distance between him and the little monkey. "Hey wait for me!" Goku shouted and dashed after the monkey too, gesturing widely to catch his brother's attention. The two brothers dashed at either side of Bubbles, then closed in. The monkey glanced to his left and right and ducked. Raditz glanced down at the monkey then back up at his brother still gazing down only an inch away. "Oh no…" Raditz groaned, preparing himself for impact.
The siblings crashed head-first into each other, both getting knocked backwards. Bubbles glanced up, sure that he was caught, and then looked on either side to the unconscious brothers. He began to laugh hysterically, rolling on the grass with little "ughs" and "ahs". Raditz got up slowly and pounced on the little Monkey. "Ouh?" Bubbles said, staring at his catcher "Not the most graceful way to win…but…" Raditz chuckled a little, with a "rubbing it in" tone. The monkey crossed his arms and grunted in disdain.
"Hey! Hand that monkey to me!" Goku said extending his hands wide-eyed.
"No you have to catch it yourself!" Raditz glared harshly, trying to hide his laughter under a slowly cracking smile.
"Aw, please you caught him with my help!" Goku said pouting, crossing his arms and looking at the ground.
"Right, like I needed your help to catch a brainless chimp…" Raditz said but was interrupted by Bubbles, jumping out of his grasp and clawing his face before he dashed off slapping his butt at Raditz.
"Gah!" Raditz shouted holding his face in pain, little red marks scattered on his face.
"You know you kinda disserved that…I mean, you did call him stupid." Goku joked touching his finger to his mouth with eyes wide and innocent.
"Damn ape..." Raditz grumbled, turning away from the monkey, knowing Goku was at least part-right.
"Well I better catch him too…thaaaanks…" Goku said with a half-whine half-tease, then dashing after the energetic little simian.
Raditz smiled, walked over to king Kai who was still laughing. "So, what's the next step Kaio-sama?"
"For you…wait, until your brother finishes catching Bubbles. Train yourself if you wish." King Kai explained, waving Raditz off while reading the funny pages.
"What?! I have to wait?!" Raditz fumed furiously at the deity.
"That's what I said, you weight of your wait will really weigh on you." King Kai intoned, chuckling while adjusting his glasses. Raditz paused and chuckled tooThis man is an idiot, he thought to himself.
"Very good, now let's wait shall we, Raditzu?" the blue master said ruffling his newspaper when turning the page. The newspaper was old and worn, like he had read it a thousand times. Well that explains a lot…. Raditz mused with a slight smile,
"Very well Kaio-sama" Raditz told him with a small bow and began to do push-ups.
One week later
"YAY! I finally caught him!" Goku shouted in triumph, tickling the monkey and putting Bubbles on his shoulder.
"Well it's about time Kakarot!" Raditz yelled back, sitting up with a fake-yawn.
"Yeah well it would have been sooner if you'd helped!" Goku complained, dropping Bubbles on his bum. The monkey ran off on its own.
"Tch, whatever" Raditz smirked Silly kid…
"Come on boys...you're both probably very tired, get some sleep and we'll start tomorrow!" King Kai clapped his hands together.
"Good I need a break." Goku breathed, falling over backward with a deep sigh.
Raditz picked up Goku and put him in his cot. "He really worked hard to catch him." Raditz smiled putting his hand on Goku's forehead.
"Don't feel bad…you did too, except for that last part, and you did some pretty intense training yourself. It all works out in the end." King Kai chuckled slightly remembering how silly it all was.
"Well I might as well catch some sleep too…see you tomorrow Kaio-sama." Raditz stated, lowering himself into his cot with a grumble.
