Okay, I lied, this chapter's On Fire by Switchfoot. Not the Winds Nocturne by Jenny Spiegel. :D Sorry, I just liked this one more for this bit.

"Nappa, go to Raditz room and tell him to come here, we're going to be late!"

"Yes my prince," The burly eight-foot tall guard answered before walking down to their companions chambers…

000ooo000ooo000

They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you need to leave.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be.

000ooo000ooo000

"Raditz! Get your lazy ass out here!" Nappa shouted through the door, only to get no answer. "If you're sleeping I'll rip your throat out! Open the door now! We're going to miss the mission! Raditz?" Nappa waited a few minutes and, although he wouldn't admit it, was starting to get worried; after the usual threats Raditz would open the door, grinning like a fool… This was starting to scare him. He punched in the key code, and entered Raditz' room, leaving the door wide open…

000ooo000ooo000

But everything inside you
knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
filled with empty words

000ooo000ooo000

"Prince Vegeta! Come quick!"

"What is it Nappa!" Vegeta snapped as Nappa grabbed his arm and dragged him down the hall.

"It's Raditz!" Nappa looked stricken as they walked into said comrade's quarters.

"Let go of me! What is…" Vegeta instantly shut up, eyes widening. There was Raditz, lying on his back on the floor, eyes staring unblinking at the ceiling, with a knife stuck through his chest…

000ooo000ooo000

And you're on fire
when he's near you
You're on fire when he speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
give me one more chance to see,
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you.

000ooo000ooo000

"How…" Vegeta trailed off. "Nappa, leave," he commanded, closing his eyes. The guard did so, and shut the door after him. Vegeta opened his eyes and put his hand on his fallen comrade's face, trailing his fingers over the cold flesh, until he reached the eyes. He let his fingers linger for a few minutes, before shutting them. He leaned his head down in mourning, and shut his own eyes.

000ooo000ooo000

When everything inside me
Looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

000ooo000ooo000

Vegeta leaned down and kissed those cold lips, tears dripping down from his face onto the corpse'. He pulled his head back up, and composed himself before standing.

00ooo000ooo000

And I'm on fire when you're near me
I'm on fire when you speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries.

000ooo000ooo000

How had this happened? Raditz couldn't, no wouldn't, do that! Wait…Vegeta remembered that cut on his friends arm, Of course! That wound was self-inflicted, I was only teasing, thinking that he had clipped his arm on something… I should have known! He must have thought I'd figured it out, and didn't want me to pity him… Vegeta, leaned back over, and ran his fingers through the long hair, at least to the shoulders. He would have to find a suitable burial ground for his comrade… no, friend. Raditz had been his only friend in a field of enemies, the post he leaned onto when he needed support, his friend…

Vegeta and Nappa left the station, neither talking, and conquered the planets that had been assigned. When they got back, Vegeta looked at the note he had noticed. It read:

Dearest Vegeta,

I'm sorry, but in order to repay my debts I felt I shouldn't be on this living plane. Any way, as it is my brother is on a planet called Earth, I think… the coordinates are FX50, go find him, train him more in the ways of fighting… I just found out from searching the database to see if there were any remaining Saiyans. I think that there may be more, but that was the only one that I was sure of. There should not be too many strong fighters, and don't conquer the planet… Whatever you want to do with my body is fine, (IE: Bury, incarcerate… etc.) but it would be nice to be cremated and thrown into Vegetasei's debris; I would like my final resting place to be with my father…

Tell Kakarot I send my love,

Raditz

PS: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PULLING A STUNT LIKE THIS! I WILL SEE YOU AROUND, BUT NOT FOR A LONG TIME!

Vegeta smiled, and the tears started flowing again. He wiped them away, and laughed. Well, I shall respect your wishes, my friend. And Vegeta left.

000ooo000ooo000

I'm standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing at the edge of everything I've ever been
And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing
at the edge

000ooo000ooo000

000ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo0000ooo0000ooo0000ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo000

That took about 2 hours… before it was changed to On Fire it was 24 by Switchfoot after it was changed from Winds Nocturne by Jenny Spiegel… I know, it's not as long… but 24 is a really long song! By the way, the song 24 from the previous chapter is by Jem. Sorry if I caused any confusion…
