Chapter Five: Time to Bebop
It's been two weeks after Raditz and Mihoshi met, fought and came to a truce. Nothing really exciting happened between them in this time like on their first day together. Raditz grew bored to torturing Mihoshi with suggestions of having sex, so he focused on something more important: training. He seemed to stay in Mihoshi's gym room all the time, and only came out to eat, and to take a shower. Raditz no longer slept with Mihoshi in her bed, since she made it a habit to go into her room before he was tired and locked him out. So where would Raditz sleep? Well, Mihoshi wasn't a mean woman, so she gave him a futon that he kept in the gym room, and he slept there. Of course, things wouldn't go so smoothly forever. Eventually, Mihoshi had to stop to refuel her ship on a planet called Urkata. That's where they met Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Edward, the bounty hunters who traveled through space in the ship called, The Bebop.
Raditz walked with Mihoshi as they traveled through the crowds of people at the market place on Planet Urkata. "I thought we were just getting fuel for the ship." Stated Raditz, not wanting to be here. If you were wondering why he hasn't made a break for it, it is because Raditz is in no hurry to return back to Frieza. He said he'd be back in two months, so he was going to enjoy this strange vacation as much as he could.
"We are getting fuel," she replied, "But they are also tuning up the ship, and that's going to take awhile. So, might as well look around right?"
The Saiyan mumbled under his breath before asking, "How are you going to pay for getting the ship tuned up?"
Mihoshi responded, "The Galaxy Police pay for the insurance on my ship and for fuel." She then saw an all you can eat buffet. Suddenly, she realized that she was hungry. "Hey Raditz, you hungry?" Raditz saw the buffet and nodded. "Race you!" she cried out and started to run forward to the building while Raditz flew after her.
Inside the restaurant, at table 11, there sat the Bebop crew. They had finished their meal, well, all of them except Ed who kept going back for more Urkiain ice cream. "I'm surprised she's not fat..." Faye said as she watched the child, who was the best hacker in the universe; eat the contents of her bowl. Ed was a very skinny girl with messy red hair.
"That's cause she's always bouncing off the walls and driving us crazy." Spike replied as he lit up a cigarette. As he exhaled, a beautiful blonde woman in a blue uniform threw open the door, along with a tall man with long black hair.
"Yay! I win!" she said to the man, while sticking her tongue out.
"Only cause I let you!" he informed.
Jet smirked as he noticed the woman's outfit. "Hey, it's a Galaxy Police officer." He stated, "Wonder what one's doing out here."
"Galaxy Police?" questioned Faye.
"I thought there was only the Inter Solar Systems Police." Spike replied.
"Well, Space is a big place you know," the retired I.S.S.P. officer replied, "The Galaxy Police run different quadrants while the I.S.S.P. run others."
"Raditz!" Ed said as she was typing away on her laptop, doing whatever she does.
"Raditz?" Jet asked, looking at the screen.
"Yep, that guy over there with the Police lady's got a bounty on his head!" Ed replied cheerfully as a picture of Raditz, with his information, popped up on the screen. She read it out loud, "Name: Raditz. Age: 30. Race: Saiyan. Height: 6'1. Blood Type: AB. Occupation: Planet Exterminator for a freezer..."
"That says 'Frieza'!" Faye corrected as she and Spike began to look at the screen too.
"I don't care what he does, what's the bounty?" Spike impatiently said.
"It is..." replied Ed, looking for the price.
"7,000,000 woo longs!" they all yelled out and looked to where Raditz and Mihoshi sat. Raditz had begun to eat his mountains of food while Mihoshi ate her one regular sized plate.
"You don't think that she's already caught him do you?" Faye wondered. "I mean, it would make sense..."
"Yeah," Jet answered, "too bad the Galaxy Police can't arrest people outside of their boundaries. Besides, he'd be handcuffed if she arrested him."
Spike inhaled and exhaled his cigarette as he smirked, "So that means he's up for grabs?"
After Raditz and Mihoshi ate their fill, they walked out of the restaurant, not leaving a scrap of food left in the place. "Ah, their food wasn't half bad. Beats the crap out of your Ramen and other instant food." The content Saiyan informed the beautiful blonde. The two were about to head back to leave in Mihoshi's ship when suddenly they noticed the four people standing in their way. One man looked to be twenty-seven, with brown hair, and was the same height as Raditz. The second man looked like he was thirty-six, he was an inch taller than the first man, had some funky looking sideburns and a cybernetic arm that was where his left arm would have been. There was also a young woman Mihoshi's age with dark violet hair, and green eyes, and wore a very revealing yellow top with matching shorts. Along with them was a skinny child who appeared to be a boy, with wild red hair and wore a white shirt, black skintight shorts, a pair of goggles on their head and carried a laptop under their arm.
"Give yourself up Monkey Bone!" the child cheered.
"What's the boy talking about?" Raditz blinked a few times at this strange kid.
"Um...Ed's a girl..." the kid responded, "Ed's full name is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV!"
"Yeah that's nice kid," the confused Saiyan replied, "now could you all get out of my way?"
"We know who you are, and we're taking you in Raditz, whether you like it or not." Jet stated. "And I wouldn't try to resist since there's only two of you and four of us."
"Hey now wait!" Mihoshi argued in a panicky tone, "I'm a Galaxy Police Officer, and Raditz is mine!" The blonde then realized how wrong that sounded when Raditz gave her an amused smile. "Uh...I mean," she corrected herself while growing a light blush, "I am responsible for taking him to a G.P. station in sector R11."
"You know a Galaxy Police officer can't arrest a criminal in Inter Solar Systems Police's sectors." Informed Jet as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"But I didn't capture Raditz here, I caught him all by myself on Planet Yarh! And that's in sector P13, a Galaxy Police sector, so Ha!" Mihoshi placed her hands on her hips in triumph. "So you guys can't take him from me!" Her blush grew darker as she then added, "I mean, you guys can't take him for the bounty you are seeking."
The Saiyan was a little annoyed that these people were referring to him as if he was a thing. "What am I, a toy? You idiots go find someone else to bother. Like the G.P. said," Raditz grinned as he wrapped his arm around Mihoshi and drew her close to him, "I belong to her..."
Spike had enough of this talk, he wanted to get this over with and get the bounty quick. "The information on Raditz online said 'dead or alive' right?"
"Right!" exclaimed Ed with a smile.
"Good!" Spike murmured with a smirk and took out his gun. He shot five bullets at the tall Saiyan.
Raditz, using his speed that was faster than light, pushed Mihoshi away from him, and out of harm's way, then caught all five of Spike's bullets. If Raditz were a normal man, Spike's skill with a gun would have ended his life right then and there, but Raditz is a Saiyan. "Aw, looks like your weapon is useless against a Saiyan warrior." He remarked as he dropped the bullets on the ground.
For one of the few times in his life, Spike was astonished by this strange man's feat. Then, Faye decided to try her way of getting Raditz to come with them: with seduction. "Hey Raditz, common, you come with us on the Bebop and I promise you'll have a good time." She gave him a wink and a pretty smile. The Saiyan looked Faye up and down, with little interest. She might have appealed to him if he hadn't met Mihoshi first. Faye noticed this and added in a seductive tone, "Aw common, I won't bite you..."
"Oh yeah?" the alien warrior began, then he took Mihoshi into his embrace again, only this time he lowered his face to be next to hers. "Well, if you won't bite, she will." Raditz then placed a gentle kiss on the side Mihoshi's forehead, gave her another kiss on her cheek, and one more on the side of her mouth. This action was one that Saiyan males used to indicate that they were taken by the female they were kissing, so that women wouldn't try to flirt with the taken male and warded off any males who tried his luck with the female receiving the kisses.
Mihoshi didn't know about this Saiyan custom, but she did know that this was some form of a loving gesture towards her. She was also shocked that Raditz was not interested in the other woman, who was just as beautiful as she was, if not more. Mihoshi felt her blush come again only this time it was brighter as the evil Saiyan began to nuzzle her neck. As he did this, she began to realize that she enjoyed it, even though she knew he was no good. What Raditz was doing right now was something none of her boyfriends ever dared to do, because they would have been too shy. All she could muster these words, "Oh my..."
Jet watched this display with a bit of amusement, but he was already plotting a way to capture the Saiyan. "Common guys," he instructed as he began to turn and leave, "I got a feeling Big Shot is on right now." The rest of the Bebop crew looked at one another, puzzled as to why Jet was giving up so quickly. Figuring he knew what he was doing, they followed him, and left Raditz and Mihoshi alone.
"What's with you Jet?" ordered Spike as he was a bit angry that he had to walk away from Raditz without teaching him a lesson.
"Look," Spike's senior explained, "we can't fight this guy on the ground. He's stronger, faster, and you saw what he did with your bullets. Saiyans are not pushovers."
"And you know this how?" questioned Faye with a raised brow.
"I remember encountering one about twenty-two years ago, believe me, they were born to kill." Replied Jet as he remembered the destruction he saw just one Saiyan cause. "If we want to capture this guy, we're going to have to take it to space."
The violet haired woman then reminded Jet, "Wait, didn't that Galaxy Police woman say that she caught Raditz on Planet Yarh?"
Jet sighed, "Yeah, but I got a feeling that she's probably lying to keep us away. For all we know, Raditz could be with her as a lover and not an arrested criminal, from the way he was acting." He then turned to the wild child, Ed, "Hey Ed, you think you can find out which ship is hers out in space and hack into her ship's system?"
The girl answered his question with another, "Is Ed also known as Radical Edward?"
"Uh...yeah." Jet answered.
"Then Ed can do it!" she cried.
Mihoshi pressed the buttons on the control panel of her ship and the gray ship blasted off into space. Of course, it wasn't long until her ship came to a sudden halt. Mihoshi cried out as the laws of gravity caused her to be lurched forward out of her seat. Raditz was thrown off his balance a bit and he became annoyed. "Mihoshi, what's going on? Why's the ship not moving?"
"Oh..." Mihoshi moaned in panic, "I donno, I didn't press anything, at least not on purpose!" She tried pressing the buttons to get the vessel moving again, but it wouldn't budge. Her eyes began to grow watery as she began to press the buttons at random, hoping that her ship would do something in response. "Something's wrong with the system, I don't have any control over the ship!"
Yukinojo came to her aid, "Mihoshi! Mihoshi!"
Mihoshi beamed up at the robot, "Yukinojo!" she cried gratefully, "What's wrong with the ship? Why have we stopped?"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you Mihoshi!" the robot said in panic. "Someone has managed to hack into my system! And they want to open a transmission conversation with you!"
A screen popped up and the child Ed appeared on it. "Hello!" she said with a grin. "Radical Edward has hacked into your ship's system! He he he he!"
Outraged that these bounty hunters would continue to pester him and Mihoshi, Raditz shouted at the image of Ed. "What the hell is your problem! Can't you just take no for an answer?"
"NO!" Ed shouted back and began to laugh insanely.
Faye then appeared on the screen, "Look we know what you're both doing, so just hand over Raditz right now and things wont get ugly."
Mihoshi glared at the other woman, "Now listen to me, you...you thick headed bakas!" This was one of the few times Mihoshi has ever been angry in her life, and she didn't really know how to express it. "I don't know what you're trying to pull, but what you are doing is against the law! I want you to get out of my ship's system and let me be on my way, before I make things ugly!"
Raditz was impressed on how demanding she sounded; it kind of turned him on. In fact, if they were not in the situation they were in, he would have seriously thought of pouncing on her in an effort to seduce her. He smiled as he thought of how sexy she looked with that glower she wore on her face. Although, to him, she always looked sexy, no matter what kind of emotion she had, well...except when she was weeping.
"Look ma'am," Spike responded, "Either give us Raditz in five minuets or we will start firing at your ship. Since you can't control the navigation system on your ship or the ammunition on it, you two will be sitting ducks. Got it? End transmission."
After the screen shut off, and the robot left, Mihoshi fell to her knees as she began to cry a river. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I DONNO WHAT TO DO!" she whined, "I wish Kiyone was here! I can't do anything right with out her!"
Raditz rolled his eyes, as he walked up to her and knelt down beside the bawling woman. He placed a heavy hand on her shoulder, which caused her to stop crying and looked into his cold onyx orbs. "Look, you don't need to rely on someone else every waking moment of your life." He told her, remembering that she had told him about her dependence on her teal haired partner, whom he didn't meet because she was ill.
The way she felt dependent on her partner, reminded him of his own partners, Nappa and Vegeta. They would always be stronger and better because they were elite fighters, and he was just a third class, promoted to elite out of sympathy of him being the last of his kind. He kept up with the rest of the elites, but just barely. When Raditz was first assigned to go on missions with the other two Saiyan survivors, they always had to get him out of tight spots. Vegeta and Nappa always reminded him of his follies of the past and would love to put him down by reminding him of what his rank really was. They would sometimes even talk about him when they thought he wasn't around. He found it odd that he and Mihoshi were unwanted by their partners. It was true; Kiyone hated being Mihoshi's partner! At times Kiyone felt like killing Mihoshi because of her ditzy ways and clumsiness. Mihoshi knew it, and Raditz knew this, because she told him one day while trying to make conversation during a meal.
With those thoughts, Raditz continued, "Our partners will never be with us all the time to help us in times when it would be convenient. That's why we got to stay strong, and rely on our own powers and abilities. Neither you nor I should give up. A Saiyan warrior never gives up! They'll fight, even when things seem hopeless, until they are victorious or if they die in the process!"
For once, Mihoshi really understood the important message someone was trying to tell her. Usually when someone tried to explain to her something that was complex or very deep, she wouldn't get it at all, but Raditz's words were so clear. "You're right," she replied as she wiped away her tears. "I just don't know what to do. I refuse to hand you over to them!"
Raditz already had an idea on how to rid them of these pesky bounty hunters. "You forget you are in the presence of a Saiyan warrior of Frieza's army. I've been through a lot worse than this and managed to get away alive. Now, answer this: do you have a space suit with an oxygen tank?"
She thought for a moment then replied with a bright smile, "Yes! Yes I do!" Mihoshi already knew what he was planning on doing. She rose to her feet as took Raditz's hand and led him to where she kept the space suits.
On the Bebop, the crew of bounty hunters waited with bored expressions as five minuets passed by slowly. "Well, five minuets are up, commence firing Spike." Jet called out.
Just as the Bebop started its assault on Mihoshi's ship, Yukinojo, Raditz came flying out of the vessel in a white space suit. He dodged the blasts coming from the other ship's guns and fired multiple ki blasts at some to avoid being hit. Finally, when he got close enough to the Bebop he raised his left arm above his head and created a large lavender ball of energy and threw it strait at the ship. Then he unleashed sixteen blasts of ki before he watched to see the damage. All the attacks met their mark, and the ship's shield couldn't handle the power and the ship took some major damage. The Saiyan watched the ship take leave and head back to planet Urkata to have their ship repaired immediately.
"Raditz, I got control over Yukinojo." Mihoshi informed him, using the communicator inside of the suit. "But I got something else to tell you..."
From the guilty way she sounded, Raditz knew he wasn't going to like this bit of news. "What's that?"
"Well..." Mihoshi continued, "I forgot that the oxygen tank is only half full when I sent you out into space, and you're probably going to be running out of air right now."
Raditz's eyes widened, "Damn it!" he cursed, "Alright, I'll try to get back to the ship as fast as I can!" He then blasted off through space in his struggle for survival. Now he had run out of oxygen and had to hold his breath as he flew at top speed to get back to Mihoshi's ship. He made it on time, just barely. The Saiyan gasped for air when the concerned Mihoshi helped him take off the space helmet of the suit.
"Are you okay Raditz?" she asked in a frightened tone, her eyes wide and tears threatened to fall from them.
With a cough, he replied, "I'm gonna be fine, don't worry."
"Oh, this is all my fault!" she stated, "I wish I would have remembered about the half empty tank so that you could have been aware!"
The warrior smiled at her, "Hey, don't worry your pretty little head about it. I'll be fine." He the paused and added sincerely, "You know, we don't make that bad of a team." The Galaxy Police officer beamed up at him, and she hugged him around the waist.
On planet Urkata, the Bebop crew waited for their ship to be repaired, they watched the show that gave the 411 on criminals who had high bounties; the show was called Big Shot. "Hello!" the black man with a Hispanic accent greeted, "It's that time again to watch Big Shot!"
The black man's assistant was a pretty blonde woman who wore a revealing blue cowgirl shirt. "And today we're gonna talk about a rascal named Raditz!"
The bounty hunters gasped at the mentioning of the Saiyan's name and they began to be even more interested with what the two on T.V. had to say. "Raditz?!" they said in unison.
"That's right, you heard us right, we said Raditz!" the man said, "He had a bounty of 7,000,000 woo longs on him!" An image of Raditz was on the screen. He was laughing menacingly in his picture, as he was firing energy from his hands.
"Had?" questioned the blonde who seemed to be a big ditz, perhaps more than Mihoshi. "You make it sound like the bounty on him is no longer being offered!"
"That's because the bounty has expired!" the black man said enthusiastically, "He was captured by the beautiful Mihoshi Kuramitsu, the Galaxy Police officer who is also the granddaughter of the Grand Marshal of the G.P.!" Then a picture of Mihoshi appeared on the screen; she was smiling, looking like she usually does. "This pretty little lady captured Raditz all by herself!"
"Wow, I wish I could have caught that handsome Raditz!" the assistant said as she looked to the side with stars in her eyes and she daydreamed about the hunky Saiyan.
Spike, Faye and Jet sighed as they shut off the television. "Yet another bounty that slips our grasps," the three sighed.
Ed wasn't as depressed as the adults were, for she still found a way to amuse herself by doing something with her laptop. "See ya later Space Pirate!" she said, not really talking to anyone who was there. If she were talking to someone, it would have been to Raditz.
*~* Next Chapter Preview*~*

Chapter Five: Time to Bebop
It's been two weeks after Raditz and Mihoshi met, fought and came to a truce. Nothing really exciting happened between them in this time like on their first day together. Raditz grew bored to torturing Mihoshi with suggestions of having sex, so he focused on something more important: training.

He said he'd be back in two months, so he was going to enjoy this strange vacation as much as he could.
"We are getting fuel," she replied, "But they are also tuning up the ship, and that's going to take awhile. So, might as well look around right?"
The Saiyan mumbled under his breath before asking, "How are you going to pay for getting the ship tuned up?"
Mihoshi responded, "The Galaxy Police pay for the insurance on my ship and for fuel." She then saw an all you can eat buffet. Suddenly, she realized that she was hungry. "Hey Raditz, you hungry?" Raditz saw the buffet and nodded. "Race you!" she cried out and started to run forward to the building while Raditz flew after her.
Inside the restaurant, at table 11, there sat the Bebop crew. They had finished their meal, well, all of them except Ed who kept going back for more Urkiain ice cream. "I'm surprised she's not fat..." Faye said as she watched the child, who was the best hacker in the universe; eat the contents of her bowl. Ed was a very skinny girl with messy red hair.
"That's cause she's always bouncing off the walls and driving us crazy." Spike replied as he lit up a cigarette. As he exhaled, a beautiful blonde woman in a blue uniform threw open the door, along with a tall man with long black hair.
"Yay! I win!" she said to the man, while sticking her tongue out.
"Only cause I let you!" he informed.
Jet smirked as he noticed the woman's outfit. "Hey, it's a Galaxy Police officer." He stated, "Wonder what one's doing out here."
"Galaxy Police?" questioned Faye.

"Look," Spike's senior explained, "we can't fight this guy on the ground. He's stronger, faster, and you saw what he did with your bullets. Saiyans are not pushovers."
"And you know this how?" questioned Faye with a raised brow.
"I remember encountering one about twenty-two years ago, believe me, they were born to kill." Replied Jet as he remembered the destruction he saw just one Saiyan cause. "If we want to capture this guy, we're going to have to take it to space."
The violet haired woman then reminded Jet, "Wait, didn't that Galaxy Police woman say that she caught Raditz on Planet Yarh?"
Jet sighed, "Yeah, but I got a feeling that she's probably lying to keep us away. For all we know, Raditz could be with her as a lover and not an arrested criminal, from the way he was acting." He then turned to the wild child, Ed, "Hey Ed, you think you can find out which ship is hers out in space and hack into her ship's system?"
The girl answered his question with another, "Is Ed also known as Radical Edward?"
"Uh...yeah." Jet answered.
"Then Ed can do it!" she cried.
Mihoshi pressed the buttons on the control panel of her ship and the gray ship blasted off into space. Of course, it wasn't long until her ship came to a sudden halt. Mihoshi cried out as the laws of gravity caused her to be lurched forward out of her seat. Raditz was thrown off his balance a bit and he became annoyed. "Mihoshi, what's going on? Why's the ship not moving?"
"Oh..." Mihoshi moaned in panic, "I donno, I didn't press anything, at least not on purpose!" She tried pressing the buttons to get the vessel moving again, but it wouldn't budge. Her eyes began to grow watery as she began to press the buttons at random, hoping that her ship would do something in response. "Something's wrong with the system, I don't have any control over the ship!"
Yukinojo came to her aid, "Mihoshi! Mihoshi!"
Mihoshi beamed up at the robot, "Yukinojo!" she cried gratefully, "What's wrong with the ship? Why have we stopped?"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you Mihoshi!" the robot said in panic. "Someone has managed to hack into my system! And they want to open a transmission conversation with you!"
A screen popped up and the child Ed appeared on it. "Hello!" she said with a grin. "Radical Edward has hacked into your ship's system! He he he he!"
Outraged that these bounty hunters would continue to pester him and Mihoshi, Raditz shouted at the image of Ed. "What the hell is your problem! Can't you just take no for an answer?"
"NO!" Ed shouted back and began to laugh insanely.
Faye then appeared on the screen, "Look we know what you're both doing, so just hand over Raditz right now and things wont get ugly."
Mihoshi glared at the other woman, "Now listen to me, you...you thick headed bakas!" This was one of the few times Mihoshi has ever been angry in her life, and she didn't really know how to express it. "I don't know what you're trying to pull, but what you are doing is against the law! I want you to get out of my ship's system and let me be on my way, before I make things ugly!"
Raditz was impressed on how demanding she sounded; it kind of turned him on. In fact, if they were not in the situation they were in, he would have seriously thought of pouncing on her in an effort to seduce her. He smiled as he thought of how sexy she looked with that glower she wore on her face. Although, to him, she always looked sexy, no matter what kind of emotion she had, well...except when she was weeping.
"Look ma'am," Spike responded, "Either give us Raditz in five minuets or we will start firing at your ship. Since you can't control the navigation system on your ship or the ammunition on it, you two will be sitting ducks. Got it? End transmission."
After the screen shut off, and the robot left, Mihoshi fell to her knees as she began to cry a river. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I DONNO WHAT TO DO!" she whined, "I wish Kiyone was here! I can't do anything right with out her!"
Raditz rolled his eyes, as he walked up to her and knelt down beside the bawling woman. He placed a heavy hand on her shoulder, which caused her to stop crying and looked into his cold onyx orbs. "Look, you don't need to rely on someone else every waking moment of your life." He told her, remembering that she had told him about her dependence on her teal haired partner, whom he didn't meet because she was ill.
The way she felt dependent on her partner, reminded him of his own partners, Nappa and Vegeta. They would always be stronger and better because they were elite fighters, and he was just a third class, promoted to elite out of sympathy of him being the last of his kind. He kept up with the rest of the elites, but just barely. When Raditz was first assigned to go on missions with the other two Saiyan survivors, they always had to get him out of tight spots. Vegeta and Nappa always reminded him of his follies of the past and would love to put him down by reminding him of what his rank really was. They would sometimes even talk about him when they thought he wasn't around. He found it odd that he and Mihoshi were unwanted by their partners. It was true; Kiyone hated being Mihoshi's partner! At times Kiyone felt like killing Mihoshi because of her ditzy ways and clumsiness. Mihoshi knew it, and Raditz knew this, because she told him one day while trying to make conversation during a meal.
With those thoughts, Raditz continued, "Our partners will never be with us all the time to help us in times when it would be convenient. That's why we got to stay strong, and rely on our own powers and abilities. Neither you nor I should give up. A Saiyan warrior never gives up! They'll fight, even when things seem hopeless, until they are victorious or if they die in the process!"
For once, Mihoshi really understood the important message someone was trying to tell her. Usually when someone tried to explain to her something that was complex or very deep, she wouldn't get it at all, but Raditz's words were so clear. "You're right," she replied as she wiped away her tears. "I just don't know what to do. I refuse to hand you over to them!"
Raditz already had an idea on how to rid them of these pesky bounty hunters. "You forget you are in the presence of a Saiyan warrior of Frieza's army. I've been through a lot worse than this and managed to get away alive. Now, answer this: do you have a space suit with an oxygen tank?"
She thought for a moment then replied with a bright smile, "Yes! Yes I do!" Mihoshi already knew what he was planning on doing. She rose to her feet as took Raditz's hand and led him to where she kept the space suits.
On the Bebop, the crew of bounty hunters waited with bored expressions as five minuets passed by slowly. "Well, five minuets are up, commence firing Spike." Jet called out.
Just as the Bebop started its assault on Mihoshi's ship, Yukinojo, Raditz came flying out of the vessel in a white space suit. He dodged the blasts coming from the other ship's guns and fired multiple ki blasts at some to avoid being hit. Finally, when he got close enough to the Bebop he raised his left arm above his head and created a large lavender ball of energy and threw it strait at the ship. Then he unleashed sixteen blasts of ki before he watched to see the damage. All the attacks met their mark, and the ship's shield couldn't handle the power and the ship took some major damage. The Saiyan watched the ship take leave and head back to planet Urkata to have their ship repaired immediately.
"Raditz, I got control over Yukinojo." Mihoshi informed him, using the communicator inside of the suit. "But I got something else to tell you..."
From the guilty way she sounded, Raditz knew he wasn't going to like this bit of news. "What's that?"
"Well..." Mihoshi continued, "I forgot that the oxygen tank is only half full when I sent you out into space, and you're probably going to be running out of air right now."
Raditz's eyes widened, "Damn it!" he cursed, "Alright, I'll try to get back to the ship as fast as I can!" He then blasted off through space in his struggle for survival. Now he had run out of oxygen and had to hold his breath as he flew at top speed to get back to Mihoshi's ship. He made it on time, just barely. The Saiyan gasped for air when the concerned Mihoshi helped him take off the space helmet of the suit.
"Are you okay Raditz?" she asked in a frightened tone, her eyes wide and tears threatened to fall from them.
With a cough, he replied, "I'm gonna be fine, don't worry."
"Oh, this is all my fault!" she stated, "I wish I would have remembered about the half empty tank so that you could have been aware!"
The warrior smiled at her, "Hey, don't worry your pretty little head about it. I'll be fine." He the paused and added sincerely, "You know, we don't make that bad of a team." The Galaxy Police officer beamed up at him, and she hugged him around the waist.
On planet Urkata, the Bebop crew waited for their ship to be repaired, they watched the show that gave the 411 on criminals who had high bounties; the show was called Big Shot. "Hello!" the black man with a Hispanic accent greeted, "It's that time again to watch Big Shot!"
The black man's assistant was a pretty blonde woman who wore a revealing blue cowgirl shirt. "And today we're gonna talk about a rascal named Raditz!"
The bounty hunters gasped at the mentioning of the Saiyan's name and they began to be even more interested with what the two on T.V. had to say. "Raditz?!" they said in unison.
"That's right, you heard us right, we said Raditz!" the man said, "He had a bounty of 7,000,000 woo longs on him!" An image of Raditz was on the screen. He was laughing menacingly in his picture, as he was firing energy from his hands.
"Had?" questioned the blonde who seemed to be a big ditz, perhaps more than Mihoshi. "You make it sound like the bounty on him is no longer being offered!"
"That's because the bounty has expired!" the black man said enthusiastically, "He was captured by the beautiful Mihoshi Kuramitsu, the Galaxy Police officer who is also the granddaughter of the Grand Marshal of the G.P.!" Then a picture of Mihoshi appeared on the screen; she was smiling, looking like she usually does. "This pretty little lady captured Raditz all by herself!"
"Wow, I wish I could have caught that handsome Raditz!" the assistant said as she looked to the side with stars in her eyes and she daydreamed about the hunky Saiyan.
Spike, Faye and Jet sighed as they shut off the television. "Yet another bounty that slips our grasps," the three sighed.
Ed wasn't as depressed as the adults were, for she still found a way to amuse herself by doing something with her laptop. "See ya later Space Pirate!" she said, not really talking to anyone who was there. If she were talking to someone, it would have been to Raditz.
