The rebel leader Diffon dropped himself into a low trench surrounded by brush. Panting, he pushed a dark brown lock from his eyes and tried to steady his heartbeat. _That aught to show them I'm serious._ He hitched his breath and stared out through the brush holes as their pursuers ran past. Grinning he leapt from his spot, watching carefully behind him as he ran out of his fox hole straight into a broad chest.
"Going somewhere?" Radditz grinned a vicious set of teeth glowing in the dimming light. Diffon let out a startled gurgle as a tight hand clamped around his throat and precious air burned in his lungs. Radditz growled, he curled his fingers tighter into the man's soft throat. "I should choke the life out of you, but I want you to suffer." Diffon swung out at Radditz, trying to get the mammoth to break his grasp. He caught a finger in the scar on Radditz' cheek and dug as hard as he could. Hissing out breath, Radditz swung his face out of Diffon's reach and bit at the hand that still swung. Chomping into empty air twice, three times, Radditz finally connected and he bit down with deadly force. Diffon tried to scream, but the restriction in his lungs wouldn't allow it. Radditz spit the severed pieces of two fingers at Diffon, the bloody nubs grasping at the air as they spasmed. Gripping a handful of thick brown hair, Radditz hauled the man to his full height and punched him in the stomach.
Collasping into a gasping heap, Diffon tried to protect his head with his arms as Radditz kicked him in the face. Satisfying crunches and grunts under his boots. Radditz rolled the man onto his back with the heel of a boot and dropped a crushing knee to his chest. Air flew from his lungs along with specks of blood and bits of tooth. Diffon's face had turned a deep purple, his eye and half his face puffing up. "You make me sick." Radditz spat into the man's face, a chunk of phlegm rolling down a split in Diffon's chin.
Raising one booted foot he stamped down on Diffon's neck, a soft crunch under his sole and he twisted his foot violently back and forth like he were snubbing a cigarette. Radditz pulled his foot from the sticky mess and shook bits of flesh and coagulating blood from his toe. A sudden yelp from behind him and a man landed on his back, beating at his neck and shoulders. One lucky shot caught Radditz squarely in the ribs and he dropped to his knees as flaring reds and golds of pain sparked his vision.
At the sound of running feet, Radditz gazed through his clouded vision at a man running full tilt toward him. Bracing his shoulder, Radditz grasped the man by the ankles and flipped him over his back, hearing him slam face into the ground behind him. Favoring his left side, Radditz turned and stepped into the man's lower back. Grasping his arm, Radditz wrenched up and backward until the man's screams echoed along the treeline. With a deep growl, Radditz heaved and ripped the man's arm from it's socket. The rebel convulsed at his feet, spraying blood and gurgling in shock. A spurt traced along Radditz lip and at the taste his eyes sharpened and he lept on the helpless man, beating him with his own disembodied limb. The man curled into the fetal position, trying to fend off the crazed saiyajin. Radditz grasped his hair and snapped the man's head back, revealing the soft flesh of his neck. The rebels eyes went wide and then glazed as Radditz ripped at the man's throat with his teeth, tearing out pieces and letting them fall from his mouth haphazardly with pools of spit and crimson. "Radditz!"
Radditz spun, teeth bared, raising the arm above his head to strike. A young guard looked like he was going to wet himself but stayed firm, "Radditz, leave that man alone...he's dead." Radditz blinked several times as the words sunk in before he looked at the still corpse. Radditz dropped the arm and looked back at the boy standing in front of him.
"Where is the other?" A menacing growl curdled the boys stomach as he tried to remember what the elite wanted him to tell Radditz, but were too scared to do themselves.
"They have him beaten, he's being brought back to King Vegeta alive...as per his request." The boy barely kept the waver out of his voice as Radditz spat onto the ground and paced before him. "They say that the Ouji is recovering..." Radditz head snapped up and the guard jumped.
"He is alive then?" Radditz didn't hear the answer, only smiled slightly at his foolishness in thinking his Ouji would die because of three fools. "Is he at the castle?" The guard nodded even as Radditz walked past him and then began running back to the now clearing field. Sighing with relief, the guard nearly fell down after the stress of the moment. "Boy!" Snapping back to attention his voice wavered.
"Sir?"
"Bring those bodies back with you." After pointing at the two men twisted into the ground, Radditz ran out of sight again. Stepping toward the first body, the guard nearly retched as he picked a torso up and the head of Diffon still lay on the ground.
Mumbling to himself the boy did as he was told, biting back bile as he picked up various pieces. "Why did I have to join D.S.?"
"Going somewhere?" Radditz grinned a vicious set of teeth glowing in the dimming light.
