Originally I wasn't gonna involve Vegeta so much in the storyline, but hey,
I actually liked his part in the last chapter, so he'll become more
important than I thought he would ^_^"
Thank you very much to those who reviewed ^^ it's always nice to know people like your story, lol
Disclaimer: you know the sh*t, I do not own DBZ or the characters, if I would, I wouldn't be writing this.... it would have been on TV by now. But as it goes differently in the show, you can see I indeed do not own it. I do own this story.... well, the concept, and my own characters, not that I earn money with it anyway.....
CHAPTER 11: INVADE MUSCLE TOWER!
______________________________________
"So that's Muscle Tower..." Raditz stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking outside through the window. "Yes... it's the base of the Red Ribbon Army in this region. Our village is forced to work for the bastards...." The girl standing by him replied.
"I don't get it, why don't you guys just fight back!?" The girl looked to Goku. "It isn't that simple. We aren't armed, nor are we that strong. Besides, they hold our mayor captive as a hostage. They threatened to kill him if we didn't do what they say." "I see...." Raditz muttered softly.
"Don't worry, we'll save your mayor!" Goku yelled cheerfully, "Right, big brother!? ..... Brother?" Getting no response, Goku glanced, raising an eyebrow, over to Raditz, who seemed lost in thoughts. "Raditz!!!" "Huh, what? ...." Raditz looked up blinking and stared back at Goku "Oh.... er....", he remembered what they were actually talking about, "yeah, we'll invade the tower thing, give the Red Sissy guys a royal kick in the ass, save your mayor and be back by lunch time!" Goku blinked for a sec, nodded grinning then and ran outside.
"NO WAIT!!!" Kate yelled. Goku appeared a bit later back at the door entrance, almost fully turned into an icicle, muttering: "Brrrrr..... I- it's c-c-c-cold!!!" Everyone sweat-dropped.
A little while later, the group was standing outside of the house. Raditz had received, as his armour was totally destroyed anyways, a black shirt with a white-coloured dragon printed on it, which had been of Kate's father, a long, black cloak and a pair of blue jeans, with a neat hole in so his tail was swaying freely behind him now. Goku wore his usual gi, but with thick pants, boots and a jacket over it. Nyoi-bo (his stick weapon) was attached on his back.
"Alright, let's go!!!" Goku ran off towards Muscle Tower. Raditz followed shortly behind him, flying a few meters above the ground. Kate and Lissy waved them good-bye. "Good luck!!! ... And be careful! Those wounds aren't fully healed yet!" Kate sighed under her breath. Lissy looked up to her. "They sure are strange, huh?" "Yeah... they certainly are... I do hope that they'll win. But I doubt it. It just seems so impossible.... what can two boys do against the Red Ribbon Army?" "Will they make it?" "I don't know, sis.... I don't know."
The few guards standing in the snowy field around the tower noticed the two fast-moving figures heading towards them. Although kinda curious whatever it was, they opened fire, as no one was allowed to approach the base. They never knew what happened to them, as one of the two said figures just faded out of the bullets' fireline, appeared back in sight in front of a guard and swiftly knocked him out with a well-aimed kick to the head. The other one dodged the bullets and dashed forward, launching himself into the stomach of another guard with a neat headbutt. The poor guy was smashed into the wall of the tower. The last guard shrieked and ran away.
Raditz chuckled watching him and shook his head in pity "Coward..." He looked up to the large tower. "And I don't think the ones inside are much braver, only more cocky probably." He leaped up, made a front-flip and landed on the balcony of the second floor. Goku made a running start, pulling out Nyoi-bo yelling "Grow!", miraculously, it grew larger, and the kid used it as a vaulting pole. Goku landed next to Raditz and his weapon went back to it's normal size. Raditz raised an eyebrow, opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted as suddenly the loudspeaker just above the door jolted to life and boomed an annoying voice: "Nice trick, kiddos, but you'll need more to impress me... well, what are you waiting for? We got a nice welcome inside for you here .... or do you chicken out?"
Raditz growled and snarled back at the camera next to the loudspeaker "If you bakas are too cowardly to come outside, we'll come in, don't worry!" With that, he kicked into the iron door, causing to fly through the room behind it and hit the opposite wall, smashing a person that was in it's path (A/N: ouch, tough luck... now who gets crushed by a flying door....). The two Saiyans walked through the entrance and looked around to the bunch of guys that's inside.
The guards stared blankly from the smashed door in the wall to the two kids that appeared in the doorway. "What are you idiots waiting for!!??? Kill them!!!" the loudspeaker bellowed.
Raditz and Goku were quickly surrounded by the group of armed soldiers. "Allow me to take care of this...." Raditz whispered to Goku, "you get to the next floor!" "But ....." "Do it! I can't kill them if you're here!" Goku nodded slowly and slipped between two guards to the stairs, leaving them only able to blink watching him. Some of the guys started to go after him, but were stopped by Raditz who suddenly spoke "Leave him .... you'll be dead in a sec anyways...."
The guards turned to him chuckling, almost surprised that a kid could have such arrogance. The boy only smirked, the most evil smirk they've ever seen. Raditz suddenly jumped up. Golden energy crackled around his body as he shouted "Scatter shot!!!", the energy gathered in a sphere around his body, to explode in a fury of blasts, shooting off towards the several guards. In the blink of an eye, every last one of the guards was obliterated and most of the wall of the floor had disappeared as well. Raditz floated down and ran up the stairs.
*********************************************
A little ki ball from his hand flew into the cowering frog-like alien's head, which exploded. The small prince wiped the pieces of skin and blood from his face with the back of his gloved hand. 'That'll teach the baka messing with the Prince of Saiyans ...' he smirked 'The most valuable lesson of his life ... and the last one. One that Freiza will learn some day as well.' The youth's face turned into a scowl.
He looked around the several corpses spread across the ground. He was in some kind of desert and at the horizon, the shape of a city was formed in the light of the setting sun. The aliens he killed seemed to be the 'welcoming ceremony'. "Pathetic weaklings ...." Vegeta snorted. He looked up to the sky as the stars started to shine through the darkening atmosphere. 'The moon shall soon rise.... but I got still plenty of time.' After his conversation with Zand, he had received a mission to purge this ball of mud. He had gone without his usual bodyguard Nappa, as he was on another mission. Besides, Vegeta could easily take the task on alone, certainly as the moon here was full tonight.
Vegeta settled down on a large rock. He looked down to the small disc in his hand after searching absently through his armour's pocket. A bit curious, the prince slid the disc in his scouter and clicked it. "Hm.... the planet isn't even that far from here. I should be able to make it ...." Vegeta thought about it, considering if he should go there or not. It seemed a bit of a dilemma to him, remembering what Zand had said. 'I'm probably not ready yet... nor is that Saiyan probably, if it is indeed a Saiyan. Who could it be....'
He clicked on his scouter again, searching through the files of the disc, till he came to something interesting 'So the pod left Vegeta-sei four months ago... mission for the planet Tralin-sei... and the person that was assigned for the mission.....' "YES! It IS a Saiyan!" Vegeta grinned, a bit relieved with the knowledge. He clicked his scouter off.
Noticing it suddenly got pretty dark, Vegeta glanced up to the only source of light ... The prince smirked up to the full moon while his tail danced wildly through the air.
