Chapter Eleven: Sayonara

On Frieza's spaceship, Zarbon and Didoria just told Frieza how they found Raditz on Planet Hikka. "And...?" Frieza asked, "Where is Raditz now?"

Didoria and Zarbon exchanged glances before Zarbon cleared his throat and answered, "Well, uh, he got away from us..."

"Oh..." Frieza replied calmly, "He got away from you?" His expression changed as he yelled, "HOW COULD YOU LET SOME STUPID SAIYAN GET AWAY FROM YOU!?!" Both of his henchmen cringed as he yelled. Panting, he calmed down and added, "It's alright though. Such an error is not too...fatal."

Zarbon and Didoria looked at each other with quizzical looks, "W-what do you mean Lord Frieza?" Zarbon bravely inquired.

"Raditz has become such a nuisance to me, so why should we bother with getting him back anymore?" the short alien questioned.

"Uh..." Didoria murmured, "You want to forget about him milord?"

A deadly smirk graced Frieza's features, "Hardly. I'm setting course for that Galaxy Police station Raditz is heading to. I'll depose of him AND the woman who caused all this commotion, by destroying the station, the same way I took care of Planet Vegeta!" He then began an evil laughter that could be heard though out the whole ship.

[XxXxXxX]

For the next thirty-nine days, Mihoshi and Raditz decided not to stop on any more planets, since they discovered that whenever they went to a planet they always managed to get into trouble. They did their separate activities, like Raditz and his training and Mihoshi with her duties on her ship and watching her favorite shows. Of course they did do some things together. Raditz on occasion would watch T.V. with her and sometimes Mihoshi would exercise with Raditz; watching him most of the time. And of course at night they slept side-by-side and made love once in awhile. But...those last days went by all too fast, they thought as they looked out one of the windows and saw the G.P. station hovering over a yellow and orange planet.

"Well...there it is..." Mihoshi sighed as she frowned, not wanting the two months to end.

"Yeah." Raditz responded, feeling the same way. Of course, he wasn't planning on staying at the G.P. station for however long they wanted to keep him.

On the day he was captured, he had already decided to break out from his cell and hi-jack a spaceship then report back to Frieza. But a lot could happen - and has- in two months. He had a strange feeling of guilt in the pit of his stomach as he thought of his plan of escape, leaving Mihoshi and all they had done together behind him. He never would have imagined that he'd care so much for a Galaxy Police officer when he was fighting her on planet Yarh. There was nothing Raditz could do to change his fate so that he could be with Mihoshi. Frieza and his men would hunt him down till the day he died and nobody Mihoshi knew would ever accept the relationship she had with him. He cursed himself a thousand times for becoming involved in this hopeless love affair, the only thing either one of them got out of it was pain. Raditz was sick of the pain and unhappiness; it was all he knew until he met Mihoshi.

While Raditz thought, Mihoshi was lost in her own thoughts as her ship approached the station. She didn't want to lose Raditz now! Not after all the adventures they had. Not after he saved her from a horrible life as a love slave on Choob, risking his own life to rescue her. Mihoshi had to figure out a way to keep Raditz from being locked away in a cell. She then got a marvelous idea! "Raditz!" she exclaimed, turning to him and beaming; her eyes glittering with excitement and hope. "I can get you some sort of appeal!"

Raditz look down at her with wide eyes at her sudden excitement. "...What do you mean?" he asked.

She wouldn't answer him at first; all she did was smile. When she finally spoke, she replied, "I'm sure that there's some sort of rule that I can find so I can get you an appeal! My grandfather is the Grand Marshal, I'm sure he'd listen to your case if I'm the one who wants you free!"

At first all Raditz could do was stare at her, and then blinked a few times. Suddenly a huge smile broke out on his face, "MIHOSHI!" he shouted, "You are...BRILLIANT!!!" Mihoshi was taken by surprise when he grabbed her waist and spun her around in the air laughing. She giggled once he brought her down to the ground as he kissed her.

Once they broke their contact, Mihoshi told him, "We can't do that once we get to the station you know."

The Saiyan's brows came together in displeasure, "Why? You're ashamed of our relationship now?" he inquired in a harsh tone, one he hadn't used while talking to her in what seemed forever.

Mihoshi's eyes widened at his words. "No!" she answered at once, "Of course not! But if we want to get you an appeal, nobody must know that we love each other, or everyone will think I am helping you because I'm infatuated with you and that you're just using my feelings for you to get your freedom back!"

Raditz was stunned by her foresight, "True." There was an eerie silence between them until he asked, "Why are you doing all this for me?" "Because," she replied, "I...I love you."

Raditz was stunned; nobody had ever said those words to him, not even his own parents. Now he was not sure if he loved her in return, and did not say it in return, not wanting to lie to her if he didn't.

[XxX]

"Kudos Mihoshi!" a fellow officer said to the blonde as she walked past numerous officers while she took the handcuffed Raditz toward his cell. Mihoshi learned that Raditz was a good actor that day as she was leading him through the station.

He would squirm a bit and groan while glowering back at her, baring his teeth. "Damn you! Damn you all" he would say to her gruffly to add to his act.

As Mihoshi shut the see through hi-tech door to Raditz's cell, she added, "Don't do the crime if ya don't want to serve the time!" she brushed off her hands and gave him a knowing wink at him, and he nodded in return.

Two hours passed by, and Raditz grew bored quickly. Suddenly, he saw the back of Mihoshi's head. She was in a dark blue and white dress, and her hair was tied back and not up. Raditz also found it quite odd that she was mopping the floors. "Mihoshi?" he asked.

She turned around and said "Oh, hello! You're a new one here huh?" she then approached the door of his cell and Raditz realized that though she looked almost exactly like Mihoshi, this woman was not her. This woman was older by perhaps twenty years and her eyes were a darker shade of blue. "You must have been caught by my daughter, Mihoshi." She stated, "I'm her mother, Mitoto."

Raditz was impressed, and surprised as well. Mihoshi's mother was a beautiful woman, so this proved to Raditz that Mihoshi's beauty would remain, as she grew older. As for him, he wouldn't age, since a Saiyan stops aging by about thirty or forty, so that their physical abilities would stay intact so that they could continue to fight, even in old age. "You look so much like Mihoshi," he said almost in awe.

Mitoto giggled, "Oh, you're just being nice!"

"Why are you cleaning the floors?" he asked.

"I'm the janitor here!" Mitoto replied cheerfully, as if it were the highest honor. She then put her face closer to the door and realized something, "You're Raditz aren't you?" He nodded. "Wow..." she began in wonder, "my daughter was right! You are handsome!"

The Saiyan slightly blushed at her complement, "Uh...thank you Mrs. Karamitsu."

"Oh, no need to be formal!" Mitoto insisted, "Just call me Mitoto!" She then looked down at her watch. "Ooh! I better get back to work! Nice talking to you Raditz!" she then began humming as she continued to mop the floors.

As Raditz talked to Mitoto, somewhere close to the station, on Frieza's ship, Nappa was listening to Zarbon and Didoria talking to each other as they passed down the hall.

"At last Frieza is ridding us of that troublesome Raditz by blowing up that Galaxy Police station." Zarbon said and Didoria happily nodded in agreement.

"Not to mention he's wiping out some of those annoying Galaxy pests!" The two began laughing as they headed in the opposite direction of Nappa.

"Shit, Raditz!" Nappa murmured as he ran to his room and turned on his transmitter on his scouter. "Raditz! Raditz! Can ya hear me? It's Nappa!"

Back at the G.P. station, Raditz received Nappa's message. He pressed the button on his scouter and replied, "Yes Nappa, I hear you. What's up?"

"You mean, 'what's gonna blow up?' Frieza's had it with chasing ya 'round the universe. He's gonna blow you and the entire station they are keepin' ya at!" Nappa informed. "Ya gotta get your ass outta there as fast as ya can, before ya get sent ta the next dimension!"

Raditz's eyes widened as Nappa told him of this news. Frieza planned on destroying him and everyone at this station, and the station was huge! If he did, Mihoshi would die along with him and if he ran away, she would die. Even if he tried to take her with him, her mother and probably a lot of her family members would die. He couldn't win, and he had no other choice. "Nappa?"

"Yes?"

"Tell Frieza that I'm coming back to his ship."

"WHAT?!?" the giant Saiyan shouted, "Waddya mean yer commin' back? Ya know he's probably gonna kill ya if ya come back!"

"Yeah, I know." Raditz sighed, "But I have my reasons. Just tell I'm on my way, okay?"

Nappa was silent for a few moments before saying, "Kay..." then he ended their transmission.

The Saiyan warrior sat in his cell in silence. 'I gotta get out of here now!' he thought as he raised his hand over his head and created an energy ball. He blasted through the door and a loud alarm was set off. Raditz dashed down the hallway hoping that he could still remember the way back to the hanger.

Mihoshi was drinking some coffee with Kiyone when she heard the alarm go off and numerous people beginning to shout. "Uh, oh. Must be a break out." Kiyone stated as she loaded her gun and ran out of the café and down the hall that some other officers ran down.

Mihoshi soon followed after her friend, wondering who was trying to escape. She then ran past the hanger where she saw Raditz about to hi-jack a small ship. "Raditz! What are you doing?" she cried as she ran towards him.

Raditz was opening the door to the ship when he heard Mihoshi call out to him. 'Damn,' he thought as she came up to him, 'I was hoping to escape without facing her!' He wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a long passionate kiss, since it would be their last. Once he regretfully tore his lips away from hers, he said, "Sayonara Mihoshi." And with those words, he got into the ship and started up the engine.

Mihoshi ran away from the ship just before flames spat out from the pipes and the ship launched into space. As she watched Raditz blast off into the depths of space, she fell to her knees and began to cry. "RAAAAAAAAAAADIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTZZZZZZZZ!" she screamed in sorrow as tears fell down her cheeks.

As the ship got farther away from the station, the less control Raditz had over himself as he piloted the small spaceship. He tried to hold back his tears, something he hadn't done since he was young. 'Why does leaving her have to hurt so much?' he thought as he began to curse the day he left on his mission to exterminate all life on the planet Yarh.

[XxX]

Less than a half hour later, Raditz was before Frieza. "Sire," he greeted as he got on his knee and kept his face on the tiled floor. "I have returned from my ordeal with the Galaxy Police."

"Oh?" Frieza responded, raising a brow at him, "Is that what you call getting a free vacation?" Raditz kept his head down. "You have some nerve doing what you did you disgusting little monkey! I hope you had lots of fun, because you'll never have another chance at having fun again!"

Suddenly, Zarbon and Didoria's laughter could be heard from the shadows. Raditz raised his head to see Frieza's henchmen come out and make their presence known. But that was not all. The Ginyu Force also came into the room with sinister smirks on their faces. "Thanks for the punching bag Lord Frieza!" Captain Ginyu said graciously as he cracked his knuckles.

"It's my pleasure." Frieza replied, "Well...what are you all waiting for?"

Raditz felt Recoome's rock hard fists crash into his back and the Saiyan spat out some blood and the others joined in as they all attacked the weaker warrior. Raditz yelled out in pain as Zarbon grabbed his tail and yanked it hard while Didoria punched his stomach, and the Ginyu Force started hitting whatever was open. Raditz fought back and managed to get some punches in on them, but it was useless, there were too many for him and they were all stronger than him. Frieza sat back and watched with a smirk as Raditz was being beaten until he was barely alive. When Frieza ordered for them to stop and to leave the room, Raditz was lying on the floor, blood dripping from multiple cuts and from his mouth. The right side of his face was swollen and his whole body was bruised and ached.

"Well Raditz, I hoped you learned your lesson." The evil tyrant said to him.

Raditz used all of his strength that was left to answer, "Y-yes Lord Frieza."

[XxX]

Nappa walked down the halls of Frieza's ship from his training with the Sibamen. He wiped some sweat from his brow just as he heard someone panting and wheezing. Then the huge Saiyan saw his fellow kin, Raditz. "Raditz!" He greeted, "Yer back!" He then watched as Raditz fell forward, out cold and Nappa saw all of his wounds. Nappa came to his aid and got Raditz to the recovery room on Frieza's ship.

"Well, whatever training Raditz has been up to, it's sure working for him." Commented the doctor as he and Nappa watched Raditz recover in the rejuvenation tank.

Nappa raised a brow, "Wadda ya mean Doc?"

"Well," the doctor began as he looked up at the Saiyan who was a good three feet taller than him. "Last time he was in one of these tanks, his power level was only 1200." Nappa chuckled at the low reading, and gained a glare from the doctor. "Now, His power is up to 4800. Pretty big difference in numbers, don't you think?"

The Saiyan's eyes widened, "Damn..." he then looked at the recovering Raditz. 'Just what kinda training have ya been doin' for the past two months?'
