Chapter 16

Raditz & Zen

The Life of Daikon on Planet Flower!

"Bulls-eyes!" said seventeen-year old Zen laughing after destroying an entire city with one single blast, she was now appointed to work with Freeza for a short period and she had chosen to go with Vegeta's team for her own reasons

"Come one Zen you could clear up this planet on your own!" said Vegeta standing behind her

"I know but I have to make you slackers work!" she said smiling

"I have to admit those guys were pretty thought I actually broke a sweat" said Napa

"You really need to shape up!" said Zen than looking around she asked "Where's Raditz?"

"Don't know, he was supposed to finish the west part of this planet an hour ago!" said Vegeta while trying to found his energy signal on his scouter

"Got him but his ki is very low do you think he might be hurt?" asked Napa

"Who cares? Let's go!" said Vegeta flying toward his spaceship

"Hey! Aren't you guys going to check on him?" asked Zen

"What for, if this weakling dies too bad for him" said Vegeta

"Really Vegeta you should take better care of your loyal subject when you only have two left!" said the young woman outraged

"Why do you care? And this is between saiya-jin so stay out of it!" replied the prince and left with Napa

"I swear on day I going to teach him to respect me" said the woman while trying to pinpoint Raditz, he found him laying on the ground his hand on his chest trying to get out some kind of arrow

"What are you doing?"

"Getting a tan! What do you think I am doing I am bleeding myself to death here?" said Raditz in pain

"I can see that, they sure did an number on you old pal" she said trying to see how serious his wound was and kneeled in front of him and grabbed the arrow and put it out while Raditz was screaming in pain

"Are you trying to kill me?" he said panting

"No…I am trying to save your ass, you have lost a lot of blood why didn't you call us for help?" said Zen while ripping his armor in two so she could have a better look at the wound

"I don't need nobody's help!!"

"Sure, I know you don't want to admit to you are the weakest one but if you continue like this you'll end up dead!"

"Why do you care?"

"Why everybody keeps asking me that? If I didn't care I would not be here trying to heal you!" she said taking the little box and healed his wound, Raditz was looking at her thinking that they were maybe wrong about the girl it was true she was a real pain in the neck but she was also a great support to them mostly himself she was always kind to him

'Don't be stupid Raditz that girl is a death wish ready to be realized!' thought Raditz while looking at the young beauty

"Can you fly?" she asked to him and he try to get up only to fell back she had the time to catch him, she passed his hand around her neck and passed hers around his waist and took off

'Oh no! I think I am falling for her' thought Raditz mortified

"Raditz are you okay?" she asked when he saw how pale he had become

"I'll survive!" said Raditz while trying to hide his true feeling

"Good, let's go!" she said bringing him to the spaceship.

Since that day, Raditz had one thought in mind how to get her; he knew that she likes only strong and powerful man. So his mind was set he will make his move the day of her 18th birthday. He was surprised to see that he had done it and was still alive, but he wished he didn't he couldn't get her out of his mind now, she came back sooner than he had though

"Hi guys did you miss me?" asked Zen while getting out of her spaceship

"Yeah like a bad rash!" replied Vegeta and left the area with Napa but Raditz didn't follow them

"Hi there!" he said not sure that what happened before was only a one time deal or not, but a smile from told her told him that there were a future for them and most of the time she spent the nights with him not Vegeta, but he could no longer see her in the other's arms and told her that

"Why don't you leave him he doesn't care can you see that!" he said after he had made sweet love to her

"I know but…I can't leave him Raditz he needs me no matter what he says and you know it" she told him while turning his back

"The only thing he needs and want is to get stronger that's all that matter to him and he treated you like shit and I have enough of this!"

"Calm down Raditz I don't want him to kill you, I will be force to kick his ass" she said kissing his lips

"Zen please be mine and mine only" said Raditz

"I am yours can you see that" she said passing her hands through his hair

"Prove it to me, show me that you really care that I am not one of those pretty boys you get in your bed just for pleasure!"

"Okay tell me what you want but Vegeta is out of question!" she said looking at him on the eyes

"I want you to bear my child"

"Raditz you don't know what you are asking me to do I could get kill!" she said horrified by the idea

"Why?"

"My father…Forget it I'll do it let's do it I'll carry your child but you have to promise me one thing"

"What is it?"

"That nor Freeza or my father will ever learn of this I don't want our child to be a slave of Freeza or the Hitokiri society like we are"

"I agree"

"And one more thing, you'll stop complaining about my relationship with Vegeta"

"Okay Zen, have it your way"

"I am going to make you a happy man!" she said laying her head on his chest and fell asleep on the beat of his heart beat, he was looking at her thinking

'I don't know what it is but she drives me crazy
I don't know what she does but she drives me wild
If only she could let me be the man I wanna be
Well she can leave me helpless as a child

 I don't know how it is but she has the power
She can make me laugh when I wanna cry (oh yeah)
She tells me that I'm in control but I know it's just a lie

 And I don't mind oh
Will she love you tomorrow like she loves you today
She can keep your heart guessing but she's yours if she stays
And that's what it feels like
To love a woman
To love a woman

When you're looking in her eyes you can see forever (forever)
You're captured by the beauty of her soul (oh yeah)

 You know you're never gonna find a woman like this again

So don't let go oh (don't let go)
Will she love you tomorrow like she loves you today
She can keep your heart guessing but she's yours if she stays
And that's what it feels like
To love a woman
To love a woman

Oh she can make your day
Oh she can take it away (take it all way)
And oh whether it's wrong or right
You know it in the end you'd do it all again
To love a woman
Just to love a woman (uh huh)

Oh you know (yes I know, yes I know)
She loves you tomorrow like she loves you today (well she love you)
She can keep your heart guessing but she's yours if she stays (she's yours if she stays)
And that's what it feels like (I'm gonna say it)
And that's what it feels like (what it feels like oh)
And that's what it feels like
To love a woman
To love a woman (mm hmm)
Yes to love a woman To Love A Woman of Enrique&Lionel)

One month later Zen had to leave she embarked on her ship after she had made her report to Freeza telling him she'll be gone for about three years and Raditz was the only one who knew why, she had told him last night that she was pregnant and gave him the location of the planet she will be staying on so he could come to see the child. Raditz couldn't wait to leave when it was almost time for her to give birth the man was restless Vegeta couldn't understand his strange behavior

"What's wrong with you?" asked Vegeta

"Huh Vegeta can I ask you a favor?" he replied

"What is it?"

"I want to take a short leave for awhile can you think you might be ok without me"

"Are you kidding? Of course you can leave but make sure to be back before we returned to planet Freeza!" said the prince

"Thanks I owe you one!" he said running to his space pod

"Its official Raditz had lost it! I wonder where he's going?" asked Napa

"Who cares?!" replied Vegeta but deep down he was asking himself the same question, Raditz had changed considerably this pass few months and he was wondering why.

Zen had decided to stay on a planet called Flower its inhabitant were very friendly but she had chose to stay away from them and put her headquarter high in the mountains with an elderly couple who didn't asked questions

"Welcome back Zen-sama" said Rose to the woman who was on her last semester

"Thanks, so how are the preparations?" asked the young woman

"Everything is ready for you milady" said Tulip. The flower-jin looked like Earthling and weren't advance in technology they still use horses as a mean of locomotion, when Zen came for the first time there the old couple thought she was some kind of god but the woman just let them know that she was just a superior races coming from the sky and they have become loyal servants to her. Three days later Raditz's space pod landed in the mountain and was surprised to see the rustic place Zen had chose to raise their child

"You could have select a better planet than that hell hole!" said Raditz

"Believe me this place is perfect" she said

"You could easily dominate those weaklings!"

"Leave them alone, we are here incognito I don't want nobody to find out we ever came here"

"Easy kill them all!"

"Please Raditz just do as I say, we won't be able to stay all the time with the kid those two will have to take care of the baby, so I want them to take good care of the child without feeling forced to do so" she said robbing her belly

"If you say so" said Raditz pouting

"Come here and give me a kiss!" she said, a month later she entered in labor and gave birth to a healthy baby boy, with white spiky hair, dark eyes tan skin, and a brown monkey tail

"Congratulation it's a boy!" said Tulip to Raditz and the warrior took the baby in his arms he was so happy that he was speechless but said finally after checking the kid's ki

"Unbelievable! He's born with a power level of nine hundreds! Way better than mine!"

"Well little one it's seems that you'll be able to kick your dad's ass before you even got to walk" said Zen smirking

"You are not funny Zen; I bet he will be stronger than Vegeta one day"

"That is if his father's genes don't get in the way"

"You are not going to spoil this happy moment for me Zen!"

"Okay, I'll shut up now"

Zen had to learn from Rose how to take care of the child while Raditz has to head back to Freeza's planet but three years later Zen had to leave also

"Don't leave mommy" said the little boy

"I have to, if I don't mommy will get in trouble so be good okay I'll be back as soon as I can" said Zen while kissing her son goodbye.

Daikon was raise more by the elderly couple than his real parents, so the boy had a completely different from his parents' character. Zen and Raditz came to see him as often as they could and used this time to train him at seven years old Daikon already knew how to fight and had surpassed his dad, but when they weren't here the boy was pretty lonely alone on the mountain until one day a girl named Jasmine that have long dark hair and bleu eyes, she lived on a village at the base of the mountains adventures herself in the woods so she could gather woods for her mother who had feel sick. While she was doing it a sabertooth like animal jumped on her, she thought it was the end when a rapid silhouette saved her from the hungry animal and with one kick got rid of it but the girl just kept screaming pointing at the shape

"A monster, a monster!!"

"I am not a monster I am a boy" said Daikon arms crossed

"Well I'd never seen a boy with white hair and a tail!" she said her fears gone

"That's okay I'd never seen a girl either" said Daikon while smiling kindly at the girl

"Oh, so what are you doing in the woods?" asked the girl while Daikon began to help her gathered woods

"I was playing, when I heard you screamed" said Daikon while taking the bulk of wood and started cutting it

"You sure are strong!"

"Yeah my dad told me that our race is one of the most powerful being in the universe"

"What are you talking about?"

"Just forget about it! So where do you live?" he said charging the woods on his head

"You don't have to do this really" she said

"Nonsense! I want to help and I am not doing anything at the moment and Tulip always tells me to be polite with girls and women!"

"Who's Tulip?"

"My guardian, he's very old but also wise my mom told me I should listen to him"

"You sure are a good boy"

"I guest I am!" said Daikon smiling, since that day the two kids became best friends and everyone soon learn about that strong white-haired boy with a tail that lived in the mountains, the boy always help them with heavy duty work like building dams and bridges, he spent a lot of time on Jasmine's village but always get back home before night most of all when there was a full moon. Daikon made his guardians promise to keep his excursions a secret he knew that his parents wouldn't approve of his good deeds, but one thing he never knew was someone was watching him a dark present that was waiting for the right moment to strike. Daikon was ten when his mother decided to test his limits

"Listen to me I am not going to go easy on you so you'll have to give me all you got! Ok?" said Zen to his son

"Hai!" said the boy while taking a fighting stance

"Are you ready?" asked Zen but before the boy could answer she used super speed and punched him in the face and sent him crashing into a mountain who collapse under the shock at the noises it created Jasmine run toward the forest worried that something might happened to Daikon

"Lesson number one always be on your guard!" said his mother disappointed when the boy got out of the rumble

"I'll try to keep that in mind" he said while rubbing the big bops he had on his head but her mother sent a kick that he block with his forearm

"Your adversary won't give you any break so keep your eyes open!" while she started throwing punches toward him she put her hands together and brought them on his head

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"Your enemies will be without pity so you'll have to be just like them!"

"That's mean!"

"The universe is a cruel place where the strong dominate the weak!"

"So I rather stay here!" said the boy but her mother slapped him

"You are not going to stay here forever you know"

"What? You mean I'll have to leave but mom…"

"Don't but mom me! And fight slacker!!" she said hitting him very hard

"Do I have to go?" asked Daikon while blocking her mother's attacks

"Yes, the universe is without pity with the soft and your father thinks that I've been going easy on you!" she said firing a ki blast that the boy cancelled

"I don't want to be a meany!"

"So you'll perish!" said the woman putting her katana on front of his nose

"So you want me to be a killer just like you!" concluded the boy

"No Daikon, I don't want you to be a killer unless you want to be one"

"I don't want to mom"

"So be a strong warrior, now fight me!" she said redrawing her sword to its sheath. The battle became more serious and more intense as the boy went all out but as they fight Raditz who just got there came to watch the battle and for a split second Zen got distracted and Daikon used this opportunity to throw a hard punch that sent her crashed to a nearby mountain that collapsed under the shock

"Ouch! That must hurt!" said Raditz

"Don't forget mom always keep your guard up!" said the boy cockily but Zen appeared behind him and grabbed his tail and all his strength left him

"That's right boy!" she said and spun him around before throwing him in the ground at his father's feet and she land near him saying

"I think I am going to cut that darn tail! I think you pass that weakness to him Raditz!"

"No one is going to cut it!" said the man angry

"You saiya-jin and your stupid tail! Daikon doesn't need to turn into a were-monkey is pretty strong in his regular form!"

"But I bet he would be even more powerful when he does!"

"I still think that it is pretty useless"

"Really" said Raditz while unwrapping his tail and passed it around her waist bringing her to him and started kissing her lips while grabbing her breasts, Daikon sat on ground and watched them smiling, Raditz lift up his eyes and looked at him and breaking up his kissed he said

"Get lost kid!" and the boy was to happy to when he saw Jasmine who was hiding behind a bush nearby

"Hey what are you doing here?" asked Daikon surprised

"I heard big explosion I thought you were in trouble!" said the girl

"Nah it was just me and my mom training let's go for a ride I am flying you over the mountains!"

"Ok, but what about your parents?"

"Believe me they are going to stay like this for quite awhile! They won't even notice I am not here! Hop on!" he said and the girl climbed on his back and they flew away

"This is so cool!" she exclaimed while admiring the view, they were know sitting on top of the tallest mountain while watching at the sunset

"Yeah I know" said the boy

"Daikon are you really going to leave?"

"Yes my parents want me to" said the boy sadly

"They can't force you, right?"

"I am sorry Jasmine"

"I wish that the universe was a peaceful place so like this you wouldn't have to fight and maybe you won't have to leave either" she said while laying on him but wondered why he was silence and looked at him. Daikon was looking at the full moon that just came up behind of a mountain, his heart started to beat more rapidly while his whole body started to expand

"Daikon are you alright? You are scaring me!" said the girl as she watched her friend turning into a were-monkey. Raditz and Zen were still making love when one of the scouter went crazy

"What's going on?" said Zen and Raditz stopped and went to pick up the scouter that was overloaded by the power level it registered and than blew up

"Who's that?" said Zen while getting dress

"I don't know"

"Where's Daikon?"

"I saw him flying that way" said Raditz pointing to the direction the boy had went earlier and the both went that direction only to find an enormous monkey with white coat

"Oh no!! But where did that moon come from?" said Zen while watching at the full moon while Flower's natural one was a new moon

"It's…a…artificial…one…from…my spaceship" said Raditz while he to was turning into a were-monkey

"Why did you activate it?" said Zen angry while watching Daikon smashing the entire area, the boy didn't know how to control that form yet

"I didn't!" said Raditz in a guttural voice his new form now completed

"Sop him before he destroys the entire planet!" said Zen and Raditz tried to calm the boy down but he fought him and like Raditz suspected Daikon was very powerful but without control he was also dangerous, Raditz didn't have a chance to stop him

"Do I have to do everything by myself?" said Zen pulling out her katana out of its sheath

"That tail of yours got to go!" said the woman but the boy fired a ki blast from his mouth taking aback she dodged it but the boy hit her sending her crashing into the ground, the transformed Daikon started howling in pain when he saw the body of Jasmine laying lifelessly on the ground and picked her up. His started roaring and the entire planet tremble at the vibration of his voice and then he power up

"Daikon, stop it!!" said Zen who tried to fight turbulence that he was creating while powering up but then a enormous explosion that worth a hundred times of a bomb atomic razing the entire planet.

"DAIKON NOOOOOOO!!!" screamed Zen as the deadly wave came toward her she put her defense up but still get blown away

Much later Zen and Raditz were looking around to found the boy but there was no sign of him

"Were is he? Where is my son?" said Zen near tears

"I don't know this the third time I searched the entire area everyone is dead and Daikon is maybe d…he's no where to be found Zen" said the man sadly

"Daikon" she said crying and Raditz watched her weep heart broking. In a spaceship that was orbiting Flower, a man with dark long hair and flaming eyes carrying an unconscious boy entered

"It's time I unleash your true potential Daikon" he said smiling

On Solarus Daikon was facing Gokou and the others fists clenched

"Come one boy there is no way you are going to beat us all" said Vegeta

"I won't need to my shadow warriors will take care of you" he replied and raised his right hands toward them and their shadows took life having theirs owners shapes but didn't have no face only two red glowing eyes

"What the heck are those?" said Videl

"Meet my shadows warriors! Kill them all!" ordered Daikon and the shadows attacked their owners who were surprised by their equal power

"Oh crap!!" said Gohan as their got surrounded

Hi everybody Aku here! I almost feel sorry for those pitiful humans when they are going head to head with the most unbeatable foes, their own shadows! Don't miss the conclusion of this story "The shadow-senchi Vs the Z-senchi"
