How Do You Know?
Chapter 7: Plotting
Raddittzu laughed at Nappa's expression as he watched the visual records of Shashii's training regime. A mix of shock, anger and envy was most apparent on the prince's main bodyguard's face. Then he saw Raddittzu and Shashii do a full out mock battle, both were easily above the giant's abilities and almost as good as Prince Vegeta in combat. Yet Shashii was just a teenager, not even eighteen years in age and Raddittzu was ten years younger than Nappa and thus had far less experience.
"It's not possible, he's a second class child still. Did you doctor the recordings?" Asked Nappa glaring at the longhaired man next to him. Raddittzu shook his head. Nappa knew Raddittzu couldn't lie for beans and so gulped. The visuals didn't lie either, the kid was a super elite at least if not more. Shashii's skill, strength, and experience would only grow for at least fifty or more years. It was very possible that either one could become a Super Sayajin before their prince. That would crush Vegeta. "Damnit."
"That envious?" Said Raddittzu with a smirk. Nappa nodded.
"How'd you two get so strong?"
"I'm not too sure. Both of us have been on non-stop missions and training for quite a while. And Shashii's returned half-dead for a majority of his missions. That pushed him up a lot I'm sure." Said Raddittzu. Nappa sat on a stool and nodded.
"And I used to push the punk around." He said with a half-smile.
"Yep." Said Raddittzu sitting on a rotating chair.
"So how soon until the ceremony?" asked Nappa.
"I think when he's twenty. I want to hold off until then."
"Why? Most did it at his age. I finished when I was eighteen." Said Nappa confused. Raddittzu shrugged.
"I didn't until I was nineteen, my father at twenty, his father at twenty- one." Said Raddittzu putting his hands behind his head.
"Can't you do it sooner? Twenty is old." Said Nappa with a frown.
"I'm not done passing on the traditions yet, I'm probably going to take my time. I have two more years until he gets his final assignment. Any news?" Raddittzu looked up at Nappa expectantly. Nappa recognized the subject change but decided to roll with it.
"Freeza's been doing some house cleaning, the Ginyu Force is been overhauled, and my even be disposed of. Zarbon's having a tough time of it too, without Dudoria to cover his back he's been letting his true colors show. You do know the coward has been taking bribes and letting corrupt people into high positions. Freeza wants to get rid of him but no one is ready to take his spot. Vegeta's even been asked to take on the job, the Prince wouldn't give up his combat at all."
"That bad, huh? And Freeza hates Vegeta too."
"I heard rumors Freeza wants Shashii at his right hand, but will wait until the twentieth year. I knew the kid was getting in good with Freeza, but for him to put a Sayajin in that high of a spot." Nappa trailed off and shook his head. "No matter where I've gone Sayajin's above all are not respected nor welcome. Your son is the first to gain respect from other royalty, the first to be invited to be a part of so many orders of warriors. You also have paved his way, your records have only been topped by that kid. Something about him though, he's no normal Sayajin."
"You have no idea." Said Raddittzu quietly looking at his feet. Nappa left and Raddittzu plopped down in a chair. Staring at the ceiling he muttered to himself, he needed to tell someone what had happened. He was going insane with guilt now.
It wasn't right. How could Kakorrotto's child be so similar to him. That's who Shashii really was, his little brother's son, his nephew. He wasn't Raddittzu's wonderful son who could bring out the best in everyone, he wasn't his father's identical twin of a son.
He was the son of a proud and courageous warrior who was so committed to his family and home that he gave up everything in a last ditch attempt to prevent his brother from kidnapping his son. Yet in the twisted turn of events Raddittzu survived and took the Earth-born child and took all the child's memories and for some odd reason the child became his son.
It was unfair to Kakorrotto, unfair to the boy's mother, unfair to the boy. Hell, it was unfair to everyone involved. Raddittzu knew he had to set things straight soon, before the boy's twentieth year drew near. But how?
The answer was there, he had to return to Earth. He had to seek out the boy's mother and the rest of his family. Turning the chair to the computer console, he started to set the dates up, plot the course and request pods. After an hour of work it was finalized and he sent a notice to Shashii's scouter. They would leave the next morning.
Shashii reread the simple text message again. His father had just gotten an early morning launch, too early in his opinion. However much he disliked the time he liked the mission, a small out of the way planet called Earth, as Shashii read the file on it he was surprised.
The planet was a class C but two Sayajin's had been sent there, one a newborn, the other was his own father. His father had submitted no data on Earth and had returned rather beat. The newborn was sent the day of Vegeta- sai's destruction and had not been found. The pod it was sent in was most likely destroyed. It had a high sale price too, and it was a wonder no one had taken a squad out there yet.
"Dad, are we going for revenge?" Shashii spoke aloud to no one. He took a shower and went to bed.
Sorry this is so short but it needed to be. Well, how's this for a plot twist? I kind of got to ask you folks a favor, REVIEW!!! I need to find my flaws and get an idea of where I'm going. Thanks to you who have given me support and keep it up. I'm thinking that Shashii gets separated from Raddittzu when they land. What do you think? Oh and Chi Chi. how's she going to handle this all?
I need to put in a plug or two for some REALLY GOOD stories. Any of the Hybrid Theory series by Sh33p is excellent. My favorite of them is defiantly Hybrid Theory: Evolution. It's a post-Cell Alternate Universe bit focused on Gohan with a little bit of Sailor Moon crossover and a creative author.
Read Low Man's Lyrics it is a really good post-Cell runaway Gohan story. The plot line is so original and the writing is awesome. Can you imagine Gohan as a tough guy front man of a really good band and a biker with a record store? Well, this author sure did.
