RADITZ'S ATONEMENT
"Should we kill them now?" Juuhachi-gou asked her brother.
"No, not now we have bigger fish to fry, let's go!" Juunana-gou said and the two jinzouningen flew away.
"There is nothing here!" Vegeta said angry.
"It seems that we went in a goose chase." Gokou said.
"I'll say we headed back home and keep our eyes open just in case he resurfaces." Piccolo said.
"Damn it! I am going to get you Raditz, you can count on it!" Vegeta said before leaving. A little later after they left Bruno's car landed.
"The lab should be around here." He said while walking on the rubble, and shrieked in terror when a hand popped out of the debris and grabbed his ankle while the person pulled himself out.
"Raditz you scared the hell out of me! I can't believe you are still alive!" Bruno said.
"So do I?" Raditz said while shaking the dust out of his clothes.
"I can't believe you made Vegeta killed all these people just to get to your brother!"
"What choice did I have?"
"If I knew that's what you were planning I would never help you! Yakusoku was right all along!" Bruno said angrily more to himself than Raditz.
"Oh no Yakusoku! We have to find her!" Raditz said while hoping in Bruno's car.
"Why?" Bruno said while getting in.
"Dr Gero built two killer androids to get Kakorott but these things are out of control, the first thing they did was to kill the doctor, I was going to be next if Yakusoku didn't step in. She somehow neutralized them by using some kind of device that shut them down."
"Oh, like the one she used on you."
"Yeah, but I don't know how she did it? These damn things are so fast and cunning; they took the control from me and blew up the lab, I was lucky to make it out alive." Raditz said while driving as fast as the car could go.
"So you think they went after her, why?"
"They said something about Yakusoku being a threat to them."
"How is that?"
"I don't know but we gotta find her fast! Give me your cell phone" Raditz said and dialed Mrs. St Clare phone number.
"Raditz-san, good gracious where have you been? Lorna and I have been trying to get a hold of you for days!" The woman said on the phone.
"What's wrong?" Raditz asked worried.
"Your wife has some trouble with the baby bad enough to be hospitalized." The woman said.
"How is she?"
"I don't really know."
"Where is she?"
"She's at the Southwestern Clinic, should I made plane reservation?"
"Yes, please. I am on my way to the airport!" Raditz said hanging up while driving like mad toward the airport. 'I would go faster flying but I don't want them to pinpoint my position.'
One thing Mrs. St Clare didn't know was that Yakusoku had already left the clinic since yesterday and was on her way back to Sakura town which was located at the border of North city while Raditz was going to the opposite way. Mrs. St Clare just got in her car on her way to the airport after buying two tickets for Southwester city.
Yakusoku was on her way to Sakura town peacefully driving while listening to music when suddenly she frowned then jumped out of the car just in time before it blew up; she fell right at the cyborgs' feet. She got up and said calmly
"You, how did you get out?"
"The tailed man freed us." Juuhachi-gou said.
"Raditz? Oh no! What have you done to him?" she asked.
"If I were you I would worried about myself and not about this fool!" Juunana-gou said. Yakusoku closed her eyes for a moment then reopened them.
"Thanks goodness he's alright." She whispered relieved.
"Why wasting your time worrying about that human?" Juuhachi-gou said.
"Why bother telling you? After all you wouldn't understand." Yakusoku replied.
"Do you know why we are here to do?" Juunana-gou asked.
"Yes, but have you forgotten what happened to you the last time you tried to kill me?" Yakusoku asked them.
"We do, but this time you don't have the remote." Juunana-gou said.
"You are right." Yakusoku said and the two jinzouningen surrounded her.
"I hate violence; please don't force me to destroy you." Yakusoku said calmly.
"Big words for a human!" Juuhachi-gou said.
"Who told you that I was…human?" Yakusoku said while taking off her shades and her lab coat. She was wearing a red blouse, black dressing pants and black high heels.
"What? Are we supposed to be scared now?" Juunana-gou asked laughing.
"Oh, you'll be soon." Yakusoku said while crossing her arms eyes closed.
"She definitely needs an attitude adjustment." Juuhachi-gou said.
"I agree." Her brother replied, they nodded and attacked Yakusoku together throwing kicks and punches but Yakusoku was moving so fast that she didn't seem to be moving at all.
"What?" the twin said together surprised.
"My turn." Yakusoku said and swiftly she hit them sending them flying feet away.
"I see you are just like us." Juunana-gou said while scanning her.
"No, you are wrong. I am…better." Yakusoku said while walking toward them.
"Better? We are Dr Gero's ultimate jinzouningen, but you are just an older model!" Juunana-gou said.
"I am Dr Gero's daughter not one of his creations." Yakusoku said.
"No human can be that powerful!" Juunana-gou said.
"Don't underestimate the human race, it could surprise you." Yakusoku said.
"Humans are weak, and stupid! We hate them!" Juuhachi-gou said.
"And still you were created by one. You have no respect for life, so I think its only fare that I shut you two down…definitely." Yakusoku said while firing a powerful ki blast at them.
"What was that?" Bruno asked to Raditz when he felt the ground shaking.
"Those tin cans are over there! Get out Bruno I am heading back!" Raditz said while stopping the car
"What!"
"Its too dangerous go back home."
"Well ok, but be careful." Bruno said while Raditz made a wide u-turn and headed toward Sakura city.
When the smokes cleared the two cyborgs had vanished but Yakusoku doubted that they were destroyed.
"That would be too easy." She said.
"Lorna?" Mrs. St Clare said surprised while stopping her car.
"What are you doing here?" Yakusoku asked.
"I was in my way to the airport to meet Raditz so we could catch the first flight to Southwest city, when I saw the explosion and came here to see if someone might need my help." The woman said.
"Get out of here now!" Yakusoku said.
"What? Why?" Mrs. St Clare asked.
"Yeah, why?" Juuhachi-gou said while landing on her car, grabbed Mrs. St Clare by her green hair and forced her out of the car through the sunroof.
"Let her go!" Yakusoku said.
"You are in no position to bark orders onee-san[1]." Juuhachi-gou said.
"Good job sister, now where were we? Ah yes, you were going to kill us, but I think the tables have turned onee-san, make one move and Juuhachi-gou will break her neck." Juunana-gou said while approaching her and stopped behind her, undid the red ribbon that was holding her long white hair. He placed his left hand on her throat while his right was exploring the back of her neck until he found what he was looking for.
"What are you doing to her?" Mrs. St Clare asked.
"Shut up!" Juuhachi-gou said.
"Bu-bye onee-san" Juunana-gou whispered in Yakusoku's ear while sending an energy blast through her implant shutting all activities in her brain and body.
"Who is better now?" he said while dropping her lifeless body in the ground.
"What now brother?" Juuhachi-gou asked.
"Now? Let's get the party on the road!" her brother replied and they flew away leaving Mrs. St Clare crying over her friend.
Raditz's heart tighten and the feeling that something terrible happened got even stronger as he approached the town, he didn't take him long to find Mrs. St Clare and Yakusoku in the middle of he road. He got off the car and run toward them, pushed Mrs. St Clare away and took his wife in his arms.
"Wake up honey! Come on wake up! Please wake up! Yakusoku, Yakusoku, YAKUSOKU!!!!" Raditz said crying shaking her up.
"Raditz-san she's gone." Mrs. St Clare said softly while putting on hand over his shoulder.
"No, she's not! She's…she's just sleeping. She's going to wake up, you'll see! She's just asleep, just asleep." He kept repeating while rocking her.
She's just asleep
Three days later every habitant of Sakura town was reunited in the cemetery for the funeral of Yakusoku. Raditz was standing there haggard while Mrs. St Clare began to sing Amazing Grace:
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see…
Mrs. St Clare drove Raditz home after the ceremony. For days the saiya-jin warrior closed himself inside the house refusing to see or talk to anyone.
"Raditz-san, are you alright? I brought you some food; I hope you are eating well. Raditz-san, we are worried about, please come out." Mrs. St Clare said at the door but like always no answer, so she left the food at the door and left knowing she'll find it the way it is the next day.
Inside Raditz was laying motionless on his bed while going over and over the moments he had spent together with his wife, from the day he met her until the last time he had seen her, remembering every kiss, every touch, and every words they had exchanged and couldn't believe how good his memory was.
"Must be the thing they put in my head." He said sighing.
"Revenge won't change anything, but will only bring more pain." Yakusoku had told him one day.
"You were right; I should have listened to you." Raditz said sighing then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
While Raditz was grieving over the death of his wife, jinzouningen were doing what they do best, killed and destroyed everyone and everything in their path.
"Who are they?" general Roswell asked while watching the twin destroying an entire city while the military was powerless to stop them.
"They are artificial human created by Dr Gero." Bruno said while entering the room.
"How do you know that?" San asked.
"File 21G, subject 165 Vs the Red Ribbon army. If you look closely on their outfits you'll see the Red Ribbon army insignia." Bruno said while pointing at the screen.
"And here I thought we heard the last of the good old doctor." Ore said.
"They aren't after world domination that I can tell you." San said.
"Agreed, they do nothing but running havoc around the globe." Ore said.
"True." Bruno said while thinking 'their main purpose was to kill earth's Special Forces, maybe they left the best for last."
Raditz was in a hazy dream when he felt that he wasn't alone in the bedroom. He slowly opened his eyes to see that a nine year-old, brown-haired girl with a red and white dress looking at him.
"Hey brat how did you get inside?" Raditz asked but the girl left the room without answering. "Hey come back here!" Raditz said while going after her, but couldn't find her anywhere, until he heard noises in the basement.
"Ok kid I have no time to play hide-in-seek with you." Raditz said while going down the stairs, the light in the basement was on, and the girl wasn't there either.
"Where did she disappear to?" Raditz said while looking around then his eyes fell on something in the desk; it was the blueprint of the jinzouningen.
"How did those got in here?" Raditz said while picking them up and run upstairs. Mrs. St Clare was going to knock on the door when it suddenly opened; before she knew it Raditz grabbed the food and took off.
"I think he feels much better know." She said blinking. Raditz flew toward the tower where he immediately began to work on a new device to stop the jinzouningen.
The remaining of the Z fighters had finally caught up with the cyborgs, or maybe it was the other way around. Of course the people at ACC were watching.
"Look sis we've got company." Juunana-gou said.
"It's about time, I was so bored taking on small fries!" his sister replied. The twin was surrounded by Gokou, Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha and Gohan.
"Five against two, this don't seem fare. What do you think?" Juunana-gou said.
"Does it matter? They all going to perish no matter how many they are!" his sister replied.
"I cannot sense anything from them Piccolo-san." Gohan said.
"Yes, this made it harder to evaluate how strong they are." Piccolo replied.
"Just leave them to me." Vegeta said while walking toward the two jinzouningen.
"Alright, but be careful." Gokou said.
"Which one of you wants to die first? Or maybe you both want to go it makes no difference to me." Vegeta said.
"Hey Juunana-gou this one is mine!" the blond woman said.
"Sure, he's all yours just don't finish him too quickly." Her brother replied.
"I see that its lady first, but don't think because you are a female I am going to hold back." Vegeta said while taking a fighting stance.
"I don't expect you to!" Juuhachi-gou said doing the same.
"I'll advise the rest of you to stay out of this fight, or I'll have to step in." Juunana-gou said.
"Find with me." Vegeta replied. The fight between the two warriors went exactly the same; Vegeta had the upper hand until Juuhachi-gou showed him who's the boss, when she broke his arm Raditz stepped in.
"Even though I am enjoying watching you getting your ass kicked prince Vegeta, but I can't allowed this to go on." Raditz said standing in midair on top of them.
"Stay out of this!" Vegeta said painfully.
"You're still alive! How many live do you have?" Juunana-gou said surprised.
"As many as a cat does, but I am ready to sacrifice the rest of them just to see you in hell!" Raditz said.
"Why? Is it because we killed the white-haired woman?" Juuhachi-gou asked.
"Awww" Juunana-gou said then began to laugh.
"You shouldn't have killed her." Raditz said while clenching his fits.
"Well too bad she's D.E.A.D dead! Deal with it!" Juunana-gou said.
"Yeah get lost! We have people to kill here!" her sister added.
"No one is going to die today but us." Raditz said.
"Uh?!" Everyone said surprises.
"I commend you all to get as far from here as possible!" Raditz said to the Z senchi.
"What are you planning to do?" Gokou asked.
"I help Dr Gero built these things; it's only fair that I am the one to destroy them." Raditz said.
"Words won't make up go away." Juunana-gou said.
"Yes but this can." Raditz said while showing them a remote.
"A neutralizer!" Juuhachi-gou said worried.
"Nope, this is a detonator." Raditz said.
"Of what?" Juunana-gou asked.
"The bomb in your chest." Raditz said smirking, and the two jinzouningen back up.
"If you want to live, you better run NOW!" Raditz said while pushing the button and a beeping sound could be heard from the androids.
"I think this is our cue to leave!" Piccolo said while taking off followed by Yamcha and Gohan. Gokou went to get Vegeta and looked at his brother for a second before leaving.
"You fool turn it off or we all going to die, these two bombs are powerful enough to destroy everything in ten miles radius!" Juunana-gou said.
"You sound worried." Raditz said smiling.
"He's crazy!" Juuhachi-gou said.
"Get the detonator!" his brother said and everything went like in slow motion, they both jumped on Raditz who had time to crush the remote in his hand before they could reach it.
"NOOO!" The two jinzouningen screamed while all three fell heavily on the ground. Raditz smiled peacefully, and than…the cyborgs blew up.
Raditz once again paid his mistakes with his life, but is this truly the end. Find out in the next chapter of Unforgivable "Fallout!"
