UNEXPECTED
"Help me please; I'll give you whatever you want" king Cold besought to Raditz who was wearing a tight t-shirt, black jeans that fit him like a second skin with a lab coat on top of it in which Cold mistook for a earthling.
"And what that might be?" this one asked in the changeling tongue while raising an eyebrow arms crossed.
"Who are you?" king Cold asked scared and fall backward.
"One of the last surviving saiya-jin that your son wanted to destroy, it seems that today it's your family that finds itself in the extinction list" he said uncrossing his arms.
"I have nothing against saiya-jin; it's my son who hated them" this one replied.
"Of course" Raditz said.
"Will you help me?" this one asked uncertain.
"Sure" this one said thoughtful and gave him his hand that this one was going to reach for it when the saiya-jin's face darkened and formed an energy ball in his palm and fired it which consumed king Cold. Gokou who was talking with his friends sensed Raditz's ki at this instant and turned his head in the direction this one was.
"Hey Gokou, is everything alright?" Krillin asked.
"Yeah" this one replied dismissing the feeling. Hiding behind a rock Raditz was watching the little group of friends while thinking 'so baby brother had become a super saiya-jin, interesting. But this also means its going to be harder to defeat him, don't think you are off the hook yet little brother you'll pay for betraying me'
Later on Raditz returned to Dr Gero's lab where he found this one working on his cyborgs "Have been looking all over for you Raditz" Dr Gero said while turning toward him.
"News flash doctor your data on my brother are way outdated" Raditz said while letting himself dropped on a chair.
"What do you mean?"
"My brother is now a super saiya-jin which means your toys must be at least one hundred more powerful to be able to take him out"
"No way he could improve that much in such a short time"
"Well he did, not even I could defeat him now"
"If only my daughter would agree to lend us a hand by allowing us to use the nanobot technology to increase the strength of the cyborgs!" the doctor said angry.
"Yakusoku made herself clear, she won't help us but I know someone who can" Raditz said smiling while getting up.
"Where are you going this time?" Dr Gero asked.
"I am going to see a young friend of mine" Raditz said.
It was almost dark when Bruno drove home thinking that his new job wasn't challenging enough and began to miss his friends at ACC greatly. "I am so bore that I even miss San" he said aloud while parking his car.
"That most be horrible" a voice in the dark.
"Whose there?" he asked anxious.
"Don't fret kiddo it's only me" Raditz said while coming into the light.
"Raditz! What are you doing here? Quick come in!" he said while pushing the saiya-jin inside and looked around before getting in.
"Nice place you got there" Raditz said while standing in the middle of the well furnish living room.
"Well it pays to be a well known programmer. Anyway I never thought I'll see you again." he said while offering Raditz a seat.
"Same here" Raditz said.
"Now tell me how you guys staged your deaths, I have to say this was so cool I am angry at Yakusoku for not letting me in on her plan" Bruno said while giving a can of beer to Raditz
"Sorry kiddo, I don't know how she did it, I just woke up and found myself no longer in ACC ground" Raditz said.
"Oh ok, I did receive an e-mail telling me that you guys weren't dead but at least you could have call time to time to give me news about yourselves but I guess Yakusoku was just being cautious. Now tell me what bring you here?"
"Hum…I was wondering if you have back up of Yakusoku's works at ACC." Raditz said.
"No I don't, we aren't allow to have those at home. Why are you asking me for them? I am sure Yakusoku made back up of her works before blowing up the lab."
"Yes she did but they got destroy while escaping ACC and we were wondering if you can download them from ACC's main computer" Raditz lied.
"I don't think I can, you see I am discharge from the agency so I no longer have access inside. I won't be able to come back until they call me if they ever do"
"Damn it!" Raditz said frustrated.
"Don't lose hope yet, there still a way to get them" Bruno said smiling mischievously.
"How?" Raditz asked with hope.
"By hacking into the ACC's main computers from the outside and I now how to do it, but I am going to need your help" he said while getting up.
"What do you want me to do?" Raditz said while following the young man to his basement which has more state-of-the-art equipments than Dr Gero's lab, the saiya-jin whistled and Bruno giggled.
"We are going to need some of these stuffs later on, but first I have to make sure it's here."
"What is 'it'?" Raditz asked.
"Oh you'll see." he said while showing to Raditz what equipments to load to the truck, once they were done they hopped into the truck and drove south. After hours of driving they reached their destination which was an abandoned building in the middle of the desert.
"Welcome to ACC's first relay control, well was ACC's relay control a long time ago when the agency was first created." Bruno said while getting out of the truck.
"What was it used for?" Raditz asked while looking at the building.
"It was a control tower for ACC's first satellite Neo, and believe it or not that satellite is still hovering in the sky and I bet I can access the agency computers with it, I just need to put Neo back online"
"Do you think that satellite is still in working order?"
"Well we soon going to find out" Bruno said while fighting with the entrance lock, with one push Raditz opened the door and the young boy thanked him while going in.
"Is it safe to be here? I mean don't think we can get caught here"
"Relax, there is only a few people who knows about that building and Neo and the people who does don't think it's a security treat. Big mistake." Bruno said while opening a fuse box and began the installation of a new generator.
It took them at least one week to setup the lab and Bruno had succeeded on bringing Neo back online and began to work fervently on retrieving data from ACC's main frame computer.
"So are you two an item yet?" Bruno asked while waiting for the information to finish downloading.
"Who?" Raditz asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Ok, I'll take that as a no"
"What make you think we could be an 'item' like you say?" Raditz asked.
"I don't know, well…I was wondering that's all"
"Wondering what?"
"I was wondering why Yakusoku did it; I mean why she saved you. This is so not her flunking her entire career through the window just to save you"
"So you think she has a personal reason to do so"
"If she has one I want to know it"
"So am I"
"So what are you planning on doing now? Don't tell me you still want to sell our planet."
"No, not anymore"
"Oh, why?"
"Let just say that my employer met with an unfortunate accident." Raditz said.
"Which was?"
"My brother"
"Speaking of which, do you still want revenge on your brother?"
"Yes I do, but have little chance to succeed now that he had become extremely powerful"
"I am not surprise of subject 165 prowess" Bruno said than closed his mouth with his hands for saying something he should but it was too late Raditz had heard it.
"Subject 165? Why did you call Kakorott that way?" Raditz said while looking at him.
"Oh nothing." Bruno said laughing nervously.
"Tell me, did the ACC do something to my brother?" Raditz said and Bruno sighed.
"Well better tell you. Yes, your brother have been to ACC's headquarter when he was a kid"
"How?"
"When your brother came here years ago, ACC's satellite didn't pick him up an old man named Gohan found him and raise him as his own, until the kid got an accident seriously enough that he had to rush him to a hospital. The doctor in charge was Mai Gero which will become an agent of ACC after she saved your brother's life with her new restorative technology."
'No fucking way!' Raditz thought.
"That's how they discovered your brother unusual brain waves pattern, they soon discover that it was some kind of message so they found a way to download it but were unable to decipher it though."
'Here I thought that Kakorott forgot because he hit his head, but it was these imbeciles that messed his brain up!' and then said aloud "What else they did to him?" Raditz asked.
"Don't know its top secret"
"Is there any files concerning him you might find while trying to get Yakusoku work?" Raditz said.
"I might but I have to know where to look. Ah all done!" Bruno said while giving a disk to Raditz containing Yakusoku entire work for ACC.
"Thank you I don't know what we'll do without your help."
"Oh stop you making me blush." Bruno said smiling.
"I owe you one kiddo"
"No problems, if you want anything you know were to find me." Bruno said while getting ready to leave.
"Can I ask you for one more favor?" Raditz said.
"Yes, what do you need?" Bruno asked and Raditz smirked.
Raditz was traveling back to Dr Gero's lab smiling, in his hand was all the information needed to finish the cyborgs, but that wasn't the only reason he was smiling he was working on a way to get even at his brother and if everything went well he might succeed.
"Hey doctor, look what I got!" Raditz said while tossing the disk around and Dr Gero caught it from his hands.
"Is that it?" he asked.
"Yup"
"Perfect I am going to work on it immediately"
"Knock yourself out. By the way do you know where I could find your daughter?" Raditz asked.
"Yes, she has a house at the border of North city; let me give you the address" Dr Geo said while writing it on a peace of paper.
"Thanks doc, see you later" Raditz said while taking the piece of paper from Dr Gero and left.
Yakusoku came out of a store with her full with groceries when Raditz approached her. "What's up doc?" he said to her.
"You are the last person I expected to see here, did my father send you? Whatever he wants my answer will be no" she said while walking toward the next store.
"I came here on my own, wanted to see you have you been doing." he said while taking one of the bags she was carrying but had to put the effort because it was very heavy.
"Wow have you been working out?" he said surprised how easily she was carrying those bags around.
"You are so lame, even when they come from another planet they still come up with the same pickup line." she said more for herself than for him.
"Will you need some assistance of any sort?" he asked.
"Yea, can you think you can got to this store over there and get me these things on the list, I'll take care of the rest" she said giving him half of the paper she was holding.
"Sure" he said while taking the paper and went to get the stuffs in the paper while getting out he saw a guy snatching Yakusoku purse and run with it.
"Hey you come back here!" she shouted at the thief, then turn to Raditz and said "Hey go after him" she said but this one gave her a blank face. "Never mind" she said while giving him her bags and took off her right shoes from her foot and threw it at the man. It landed directly on his skull knocking him out, and then she limped toward him and took her purse back while putting her shoe back at her feet.
"Nice throw" Raditz said.
"Thank you" she said while walking toward her car, Raditz followed her of the eyes and smile.
"Are you going to stand there all day?" she asked.
"Coming" Raditz said while putting the bags in the trunk and sat on the passenger seat next to her, and they drove away silently and Raditz thought 'We must look like an item that way' he said while looking at the woman sitting next to him. At Raditz surprised Yakusoku house wasn't isolated from civilization like Bruno's, she was living in a nice little neighborhood where children were playing in the street and everyone knew each other first name. Yakusoku parked her car in front of a sky blue and white townhouse.
"Hi Lorna, how are you today? Hi sir" said a woman and a blue dress.
"I am fine thank you, how's the family?" Yakusoku replied.
"They are fine, thank you. Are we going to see you later at Joe's barbecue?" she said.
"Yes, I'll be there" Yakusoku said while getting out of the car.
"Lorna?" Raditz asked whispering.
"It's my name"
"Since when?"
"Since I was born" she replied annoyed, then turned her head to see that the woman was still there waiting to be introduced no doubt.
"Mrs. St Clare, meet a friend of mine Dr Raditz"
"Nice to meet you doctor, will he be accompanying you tonight?" Mrs. St Clare asked.
"No, he won't be"
"Too bad see you later, bye" the woman leaving.
"Bye" Yakusoku said and Raditz to ask.
"Dr Raditz?"
"Yea that'll give her something to talk about"
"To make you look good"
"What-ever" she said while opening the door.
Raditz found himself sitting in the kitchen with a glass of orange juice in his hand while Yakusoku was putting everything away.
"I know you aren't here to only pay me a visit, state your real reason" she said.
"I want to become a super saiya-jin and I know you'll be able to help me achieve it" Raditz said.
"A super saiya-jin uh? What is that?" she asked.
"It's the ultimate transformation of a saiya-jin warrior; it's being powerful beyond imagination"
"So you want me to help you reach that level so you can go after Gokou and kill him"
"Not that easy I'll have to defeat him first which won't be easy because my brother had already reach that level"
"The answer is no"
"Wouldn't you like to know if I can do it?"
"Why should I?"
"You have rebuilt this body wouldn't you like to test is full potential?' Raditz asked and he saw that Yakusoku was thinking about the perspective.
"Will you do it if I promise you I won't kill my brother, after all he wasn't the one who killed me?"
"Oh please don't expect me to believe you"
"Why not?"
"I know your kind you'll do and say anything to obtain what you want"
"You are right, I'll 'do anything' to reach my objective. Being a super saiya-jin is a dream come true for all saiya-jin and my brother was able to do it and I know I can I just need your help"
"I hate when that happened." she said.
"Does that mean yes?" Raditz asked and the woman nodded.
"Hear this you better keep your word or I'll spend the rest of my life making you regret it" she said looking at him in the eyes.
"I swear to you I won't kill my brother" he said.
"Ok then, we have a deal" she said shaking his hand.
Dr Yakusoku accepted to help Raditz in his quest of reaching the super saiya-jin level and this one promised not to kill his brother, can he be trusted? Don't miss the next chapter of Unforgivable "Matter of War and Matter of Heart!" See ya soon and leave a word ^__~
