Chapter Fourteen: Final Judgment

Shortly after Raditz was captured, two more space pods landed on planet Yarh. From those pods emerged Nappa and Vegeta, who were sent by Frieza to help Raditz shortly after he left. The two Saiyans clicked on their scouters to seek their partner, but his power level could not be found on the planet.

"Damn, I can't find him anywhere!" Nappa complained, "What 'bout you Vegeta?"

Vegeta's brows came together as he growled in his throat, "No, all the readings I'm getting are too low to be Raditz. It's obvious that he's not here."
"Where do ya think he went to this time?" Nappa wondered as he began to look around. His eyes fell upon a space pod several meters away. "Well, his pod is here, so he had to have been on the planet at some point."

The shorter Saiyan walked over to the to pod to inspect it. Looking inside he said, "The pod's empty."

"How could he have gotten off the planet without his pod?" Nappa asked.

Vegeta sniffed the air, "Hum..." he smelled burning flesh several miles away, as well as a faint scent of a strange chemical. Without a word, the Saiyan prince took flight and followed the scent with Nappa not to far behind him. Once Vegeta found the place where the two smells were coming from, he stopped in mid air and looked down and around at the destroyed city. He looked below to where the chemical's scent was, and there on the ground was a blaster gun. They both landed and Vegeta picked up the gun and saw the Galaxy Police trademark on the side. "Looks like Raditz got another vacation..." Vegeta stated as he handed the gun up to Nappa.

Nappa took the gun and slapped his forehead with an open palm when he saw the G.P. initials, "Again? Why can't he just destroy this planet and be done with the whole damn thing?"

"I don't know," Vegeta replied, "let's ask him once we find his coordinates. We can trace where his scouter is by the computer in my pod."

[XxX]

At the G.P. Headquarters in sector P13, there was a special courtroom that was being used to decide the fate of Raditz, the Saiyan warrior. There was no jury, just the judge, the Grand Marshal Karamitsu, Mihoshi's grandfather. The Marshal looked over the paperwork that had every crime that was recorded of Raditz's wicked deeds. After what seemed ages, he finally spoke.

"So, you are the Saiyan that escaped three months ago?" His deep blue eyes fixed themselves upon the handcuffed Raditz, who looked back at him without fear or regret. Then he looked to Mihoshi, and saw the discouraged look on his granddaughter's face. The Marshal sighed before he rubbed his temples and said, "Unfortunately, the crimes committed by Raditz are far to many and extreme to excuse. The punishment for these crimes is death by injection of the serum XPG, the most effective and painless poison known in the galaxy."

Mihoshi's eyes widened in horror at the thought of Raditz being held down and being injected with XPG. A wave of despair engulfed her as she felt like falling to her knees and let loose an endless supply of tears. He felt her knees begin to buckle just as her grandfather continued to explain Raditz's fate.

"But, our laws forbid us from putting you to death, since the Saiyans are on the Universal Endangered Species list." He smiled at Mihoshi's reaction to the good news, but his smile faded as he continued to tell what his alternate sentence. "So instead, you are sentenced to imprisonment in a high security prison on the planet Finax for the rest of your life."

Raditz and Mihoshi immediately looked at each other in alarm at this news. Water filled Mihoshi's eyes as she wrapped her arms around Raditz's torso and began to weep on his shoulder as her Grandfather added more.

"Raditz will be put on a transporting ship among his fellow criminals that will take him to Finax tomorrow. Until then, you will be put in one of our cells designed with an energy field that will suck your life force from you if you attempt to escape."

Mihoshi continued to cry in despair from losing Raditz again. The Saiyan warrior wanted to embrace her as well, but he did not want to break another set of handcuffs and put the Grand Marshal into alarm for the safety of the G.P. headquarters, even though the Marshal already knew Raditz was strong enough to easily break the metal. So he used his tail to wrap around Mihoshi's waist and pulled the blonde woman closer to his body and tried to forget that this would be the last time he could hold her. He also regretted that he couldn't give her one last session of passionate love making before his eternal imprisonment.

"Detective Mihoshi," the Marshal addressed.

Mihoshi pulled away from Raditz and he unwrapped his tail from her waist. Drying her tears, she responded, "Yes?"

"Please escort Raditz to his cell on cell block G5 on level thirty-five." He instructed.

She nodded and obediently led Raditz out of the courtroom and back into the Fourier where Kiyone was pacing back and fourth nervously waiting for them. When the teal haired woman caught sight of them, she asked softly, "What happened?"

Mihoshi looked to the ground and Raditz shook his head to inform Kiyone that now was not the time to ask as he was led out of the Fourier and into an elevator. She used a delicate finger to press a button that had the number thirty-five printed on the surface. As the elevator slowly rose higher, Raditz sighed and said to Mihoshi, "I wish I could have more time to spend with you."

Mihoshi blinked and a smile replaced her frown as an idea came to her. "Perhaps we can make time..." She immediately pressed a red button and the elevator came to a sudden halt.

Raditz looked confused as he felt the abrupt stop of the elevator. "Why did we stop?"

She looked up at him, "My office is on the twentieth level. Perhaps we could go there to spend some...quality time together."

Raditz noticed the light blush growing on her copper toned cheeks and knew exactly what she meant. The Saiyan smiled down at the Seniwa woman and said, "Sure, why not?"

She smiled more then pressed the button that was labeled with the number twenty and they continued to go up a few more levels. The elevator made a ding sound and opened once the two reached their desired level. Mihoshi lead Raditz down the hallway until she stopped at her office. She used a key to open the door and she led Raditz into the room in front of her and locked the door behind them.

Once they were together and alone, Raditz asked, "Hey, now that we're alone, can you take the cuffs off of me?"

"Oh, yes of course!" Mihoshi took out the key for the cuffs and freed the Saiyan of his bondage.

"Ah," he was glad once he could move his arms freely, "That's much better."

"Raditz, perhaps you should escape while you still can." She said in a sad tone, "I don't want you to go to that prison on Finax!"

"It doesn't matter what I do Mihoshi." He responded, "If I leave again, Frieza will track me down and if I go to the prison, Frieza will find a way to get me out. That bastard would destroy the place just so he can have the satisfaction of killing me himself." Raditz then took Mihoshi to his embrace and pulled her body to him, "But I don't want to think about what will happen later. I want to think about what I'm going to do to you now." He lowered his face to capture her lips and kissed her gently, and then he pulled away and removed his armor. Once his chest was exposed, he began to remove Mihoshi's uniform jacket. He threw the jacket to the other side of the room and Mihoshi proceeded to remove her tank top to reveal her bra.

His heated gaze fell upon her breasts as she inhaled and exhaled, and he couldn't handle being away from her for another second. Not caring if they were fully undressed or not, he grabbed her body and gave her a more passionate kiss as he held her hips while he backed up to the chair behind her desk and sat down in it while pulling her down with him. He placed one of her legs on either side of his waist so that she straddled him while she ran her hands down his pecks and abs; neither one breaking their lip lock. She was the first one to break their kiss and breathed heavily from excitement, while he breathed in a husky way and looked at her with eyelids half open and it made her want him more. Just as they began another kiss, an alarm sounded, ruining the moment between the two lovers.

"Red alert! Red alert! The criminal Actapoua has escaped his cell in cellblock S2 on level forty. I repeat. Criminal Actapoua has escaped his cell on level forty. Actapoua is armed and dangerous, he is heading to the hanger. We are now on lockdown. All officers please go to the hanger to head him off!" someone announced on the loudspeaker.

Mihoshi looked down at Raditz with a look of concern as Raditz growled in frustration. "Please Raditz, can you help me capture Actapoua? He's really dangerous!"

He sighed as Mihoshi dismounted him and went to put on her top and jacket. "Alright, alright..." he moaned and got off the chair to retrieve his armor and placed it over his head and into place.

A man with silver hair that was buzzed ran into the Galaxy Police's hanger almost out of breath as numerous officers were running after him. This man was Actapoua, a Juraian who had murdered over one hundred people and a few nobles of Jurai. He came to a halt as he saw the steal doors close the hanger, and stopped him from escaping.

One of the ships in the hanger was not of the Galaxy Police; it was a Juraian ship, Ryo-ho, the ship that belonged to Princess Ayeka of planet Jurai. She was there at the station with her younger sister, the second princess of Jurai, Sasami. Ayeka and her sister were about to board their ship when they were trapped in the hanger due to the lockdown. "What's going on?" demanded the purple haired princess as she looked at the group of officers with a confused expression.

She then felt the cold point of a gun at the side of her head and froze in horror as she saw a pair of ice blue eyes staring at her. "Don't move." Actapoua warned.

"Shit, he's go the princess as a hostage!" an officer said.

Another yelled at someone else, "Call in more back up!"

Mihoshi and Raditz looked down at this scene from a few levels up above all the action. "Raditz we got to do something!" she said, "A princess has been taken hostage by Actapoua!"

"Don't worry, taking care of that guy will be easy!" the Saiyan assured as he jumped over the railing and flew and dropped to the ground as softly as he could.

"Raditz!" Mihoshi shrieked softly, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Hey Octopus-powder!" Raditz crooned as he approached the murderer without fear. Actapoua turned around to see the person who insulted his name and glared. "What are you, a coward? Using a woman as your shield?"

Actapoua growled, "Are you challenging me sir?"

"Yes." The Saiyan boldly answered, "Or do you prefer to sneak up on unsuspecting women?"

The Juraian man glared at Raditz and moved his gun away from Ayeka's head and pointed it at him. He shot at Raditz but the bullet was dodged with ease. Ayeka screamed as she took her sister's hand and ran to the officers for protection as Raditz fired an energy blast at Actapoua. Actapoua managed to get out of the way, but he soon felt Raditz's boot hitting the side of his jaw and fell down; his gun fell to the floor a meter or two away.

"Raditz, cuff him!" Mihoshi shouted to her Saiyan lover as she took the pair of cuffs that was used on Raditz earlier and threw them down to him. He turned his back to Actapoua and caught them, just as the Juraian got to his feet again and pulled out a knife.

Princess Ayeka gasped and yelled, "Look out!"

Just as Actapoua was about to plunge the knife deep into Raditz's back, he felt his arm break. He cried out in pain and saw that Raditz had turned around just in time and caught his arm with a bone-breaking grip. The knife fell out of his hands as Actapoua fell to his knees in defeat, unable to bear the pain. Raditz twisted his arm painfully so that his back faced him and used the handcuffs to confine Actapoua's hands behind him.

The officers who were there at the hanger began to clap and cheer loudly at Raditz's bravery and his succession in capturing Actapoua.

"You did it Raditz!" Mihoshi cheered from above. Raditz looked up and gave her a silent thumbs up. He then motioned her to jump down to him. She swallowed hard; she trusted Raditz, but was afraid of jumping from such a high place. She did jump, and Raditz caught her with ease, and continued to hold her bridal style, causing Mihoshi to blush a little.

Just then, more Galaxy Police showed up accompanied by Kiyone and the Grand Marshal. "What the hell is going on?" the Marshal demanded, causing the cheering and applauding to stop. His eyes fell upon the handcuffed Actapoua, who was biting his lower lip, trying not cry from the excruciating pain. He then spotted the Saiyan he had condemned not too long ago holding his granddaughter. The Marshal coughed loudly into his fist to hint to Raditz to put Mihoshi down. The Saiyan looked at Mihoshi, who looked back at him, as he placed her down on her feet and gave the Marshal a nervous grin.

"Hi there grandpa..." Mihoshi said shyly waving at him.

"Just what in the name of Tokimi are you not in a cell?" the Marshal asked glaring at Mihoshi and Raditz.

"Uh..." Raditz looked to Mihoshi as he cleared his throat.

"I was taking Raditz to his cell...when we heard the alarm about Actapoua." Mihoshi clarified and smiled sweetly to her superior.

"Uh...Yeah!" Raditz added for assurance.

"So, why are you not handcuffed?" the Marshal asked casually, raising a brow as he crossed his arms.

"We had to use them to cuff Actapoua." Mihoshi answered, her tone was unsure.

"Grand Marshal, if I may speak on behalf of this subject?" an officer asked.

"You may." The Marshal replied.

"Well...he kind of captured Actapoua single handedly." The officer clarified. "Not to mention that he saved the Princess Ayeka and Princess Sasami."

"W-what!?" Grand Marshal Karamitsu was astonished.

"He's also saved your granddaughter's life!" Kiyone added as she took a copy of "The Chooban Times" out from under her arm. "See? I was trying to show you this before Actapoua escaped. This is an issue of the newspaper on Planet Choob from almost five months ago. That's when they had a tournament, and Raditz fought in it to get back Mihoshi, since she couldn't pay for the repairs on her ship with her insurance."

Grand Marshal Karamitsu took the newspaper and read the front page, then looked at the pictures and took specific notice of the one of Raditz and Mihoshi. He looked up at the deadly Saiyan who stood so close to his granddaughter, "Is this all true?" he asked Raditz.

"Yes." Raditz answered.

"Why did you save Officer Mihoshi when you could have escaped Choob?" the Marshal questioned.

"Because I wasn't going to let some Chooban bastard touch her." Raditz answered truthfully.

"I see..." the Marshal said skeptically. "Raditz, did something happen between you and Officer Mihoshi?"

Raditz looked at Mihoshi from the corner of his eye and responded, "Define 'happen' please."

"Did you and Officer Mihoshi have a relationship while you were under her custody?" the Marshal asked.

"Oh...that kind of happened." Raditz said in a mocking kind of tone. "Yes, I did have a relationship with Mihoshi, and I still do."

The Marshal's eyes narrowed as he continued to interrogate the Saiyan. "So do you love Officer Mihoshi Karamitsu?"

"Sure do." He answered in a cocky way, ignoring the glare he was under.

"Well then," the Marshal's eyes narrowed more, "I just have one more question to ask of you."

"Ask away." The Saiyan responded.

The Grand Marshal cleared his throat and was about to ask Raditz his question when Ayeka interrupted him. "Excuse me Marshal." She said in a soft, polite tone, "But what may I ask is Raditz's crime?"

"He is one of Frieza's men. Raditz has destroyed the lives of hundreds across the galaxy." The Marshal answered.

"I see, and has he been sentenced already?" the princess of Jurai inquired.

"Yes, he is to be sent to a prison on Finax." He answered, "Why do you ask milady?"

"Well, perhaps imprisonment is not a proper punishment for Raditz." Ayeka answered, "Maybe he deserves to give back to the community to make up for what he has taken, in an...official way?"

"Well..." the Marshal contemplated as he rubbed his chin that was covered in a blonde beard. "I was just thinking of how our officers are a bit rusty when it comes to physical strength..." He then cleared his throat again and turned his attention back to Raditz. "Raditz, have you ever thought of serving your time in a form of Community Service?"

"Community Service?" Raditz asked as he took a step back, unsure of what the Marshal was asking him. For all he knew, the Marshal was probably about to ask him to put on a tutu and perform in The Nutcracker!

"Yes," Mihoshi's grandfather confirmed, "You could serve your sentence in a different way, since you have proven yourself trustworthy to several officers and to the Princess Ayeka. If you want, you may become an officer of the Galaxy Police and work with First Class Detective, Mihoshi Karamitsu...unless you'd rather go to that prison on Finax."

Raditz opened his mouth to reply, but the sound of another Saiyan's voice stopped him from uttering a word.

"Perhaps we should ask what Frieza would think of all this." Vegeta stated as he walked past the Marshal. Vegeta was also accompanied by Nappa, who glanced at the Princess Ayeka for a split second, then returned his attention forward to Raditz.

"P-Prince Vegeta! Nappa? What are you two doing here?" Raditz stuttered, wondering why they came. 'And just when things were starting to get better.'

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." The prince of Saiyans answered as he stopped in front of Raditz and Mihoshi while folding his arms across his chest.

Nappa stood next to Vegeta as he looked from Raditz to the blonde woman who stood beside him. "That's Mihoshi?" he asked Raditz. Raditz nodded and Mihoshi wondered why the huge Saiyan wanted to know who she was.

"Mihoshi?" Vegeta repeated looking up at Nappa with a raised brow.

Nappa nodded and replied, "Raditz's mate."

"Oh I see..." the Saiyan prince sneered and turned back to Raditz with a glare. "So this is why you keep running off? This...THING, is what keeps you from doing your job?" Vegeta glared at Mihoshi, the 'thing' as he referred to her as. He looked absolutely disgusted by her, but it was an act. Vegeta was no fool; the woman was gorgeous, such a beauty could make him want to walk up to Frieza and say "Fuck you!" without fear of the consequences.

Nappa felt the same way; he probably would have allowed himself to be captured by a woman if she were as pretty as Mihoshi. "Raditz told me about you, but his description hardly does you justice." The Saiyan said to her, meaning it to be a complement, not as a pick up.

Mihoshi took Nappa's words as a complement and blushed a little, "Thank you..."

Vegeta glared up at Nappa and growled, "This isn't time for flattery Nappa!" he then said to Raditz, "Frieza won't tolerate you running off to see this woman every few months you know. And to tell you the truth, Nappa and I would be better off without you. "

"But the only way Frieza would let us get rid of you is if you were dead." Nappa added.

Raditz knew Vegeta had a plan that would make the three of them happy. "What do you have planned my Prince?"

Vegeta smirked, "Thought you'd never ask. Frieza would believe us if we told him we killed you trying to get you to come back with us. So just give us your armor and Nappa and I will take care of the rest. You can spend the rest of your pitiful life with your mate; we really don't care. Just make sure you don't run into Frieza's men while you are on this new job of yours."

The longhaired Saiyan nodded in agreement, "Don't worry Prince Vegeta, I do not think that will be much of a problem." He then removed his armor and handed it to Vegeta and bowed to the prince, who nodded back and turned to leave.

"Let's go Nappa," ordered Vegeta, "it looks as if we have stayed here long enough, judging from the looks on the G.P. officer's faces."

The officers held their guns tight as they had a sweat drop falling from the side of their brows. None of them dared to fire at the prince or his comrade, but they were not going to back down if they attacked first.

Vegeta began to walk away from them as Nappa said to Raditz, "See ya 'round." And with those words, Nappa followed Vegeta as they left the station with Raditz's armor.

Raditz watched the two of them leave without looking back at him. Neither of the Saiyans Raditz called his old partners knew that in a few years, love would transform them as well. Vegeta would have never guessed that he'd fall for a pair of blue eyes and Nappa was unaware that one day, an entire planet would one day call him Prince.

Once the two Saiyans left, the Grand Marshal looked to Raditz and asked, "So, do you want to work for the Galaxy Police then?"

Raditz smiled and said, "Sure Gramps!"

The Marshal grimaced at Raditz's words, "Please don't call me Gramps. It's going to take time for me to get use to the idea of you being Mihoshi's boyfriend."

[XxX]

Raditz walked down the hall of the twentieth level of the G.P. Headquarters in his new uniform. No longer did he have to wear the armor of Frieza! Now, he was clad in the Galaxy Police chest armor that was blue with silver and had the Galaxy Police emblem on the left peck. He wore a blue long sleeved spandex shirt underneath the armor. His pants were the standard Galaxy Police gray and fit just right. Dark gray boots and standard white gloves completed the outfit.

Raditz knocked on Mihoshi's office door. "Come in," she said inside and Raditz opened the door and a smile lit up the blonde's face. "Hey Raditz!"

"Well, it's not like my old armor," Raditz commented as he came into the room, "and that's good!"

Mihoshi giggled as she got out of her chair and walked up to Raditz and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad you get to work with me!"

"Just two questions," he said to her, "One: is there any policy that says coworkers can't mate?"

"No." she answered with a grin.

"Ok...and two: there are no security cameras around this place are there?" he inquired with a devilish smirk.

Mihoshi gave him a quizzical look, "Why do you want to know that? AH!!!"

Raditz picked her up bridal style and carried her back to her chair. Once he sat down, he placed Mihoshi in his lap and began to kiss her neck. Mihoshi rested her head against his as he continued to kiss her.

Before the two got to do more, Kiyone walked in and saw what was going on "Gah!" Kiyone began blushing when she found that her two partners were in an intimate moment. "Sorry to bother you, I was just here to work on some filing with Mihoshi."

"Oh yeah, we have to do that today huh?" Mihoshi said as she got out of Raditz's lap so he could stand up.

"Well..." Raditz replied, stretching his arms, "I'm just going to go see if there's a training area or something around here." He was about to walk out when Kiyone stepped in front of him.

"I don't think so!" she said, "You are staying here and help Mihoshi and I file these papers!" she then dropped a huge stack of papers into Raditz's reluctant arms. "You know the alphabet right?"

The Saiyan looked at his new partner with lowered eyelids and in a dry tone asked, "If I said no, you'd still make me stay here, right?"

"Right!" Kiyone nodded.

Raditz sighed in defeat and turned around to help the two girls do one of the most boring things he could think of. "I don't think I can get use to this..." he muttered under his breath.

[XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX]

Mihoshi: Yay!!! Raditz and I work together! Oh yeah, the next chapter takes place a year later, Raditz and I are assigned to capture Kagato! But things go wrong and we land on Earth, and we make some new friends! Yay!
