Chapter VI – Mess Hall Words
Week had one by and Raditz was getting used to having his so-called family members around. He sat in the mess hall of the fortress on his lunch break, finding himself thinking again those tow enigmas. Though they were incredibly weak in their emotions and their chi was class that of an infant; they still possessed far stronger mental stress handling ability than Raditz thought an Earth raised Saiyajin could have. Goku's or Kakarotto's powerlevel kept climbing up in steady pace as the beatings from Zarbon and Dodoria got more dangerous and lethal. Kakarotto despite all his weakness was seemingly very hard to kill or break. On few unfortunate occasions he had personally seen just what was the training Frieza's to lackeys put his brother thru and it definitely was the usual. He still winced at the memory of the gruesome sight and at his own memories.
Sure he had gotten and still got his fair share of brutal violence and even inflicted it himself upon occasions but what Zarbon and Dodoria did was just sick even in his standards.
His brat of a nephew was adaptive, Raditz had to give him that credit. The small half-Saiyajin boy was by no means confident and strong, but Gohan had obviously inherited some of the most positive traits of being a Saiyajin. An ability to adapt to surroundings and mental capacity and will to handle the violence and blood around him. Another was his, even in Saiyajin standrds, high learning ability. The boy sucked those techniques in like a common whore men!
Otherwise they both were uncomfortably and annoyingly open in his presence and he still didn't know how to deal with them.
The Saiyajin allowed a smirk to graze his features as he absently stirred his ill-defined drink in the mess hall of Frieza's main planet Freeza #79. At least his brother and nephew were learning the 'local customs' well. How long had it been? Almost three weeks... and his comrades should be back soon.
He could already picture the screaming tantrum that would await him from his Prince when the impulsive Saiyajin ex-ruler and the high commander found out their four person room was to be now shared with two extra persons. Not a happy future for five of them.

Goku groaned in pain as his stiff joints protested moving so soon after getting out of the healing chamber. The short Saiyajin winced and carefully stretched all his junctures carefully. Now, that was better... Kami-sama, that had been awful. Those two bastards were really putting their twisted hearts (or what now were the organs that replaced theirs) into his training. It was shocking to notice that all the people here really didn't know anything about real training. It seemed that warriors here had no technique or warrior's philosophy whatsoever! Only speed and power so great it made the technique unnecessary. Only generic punching and kicking were used; no stances or even most basics of them? No stretching or actually taking care of your body so not to over exert it.
( A/N: Have you really ever seen anyone else but the Z senshi from Earth take a stance or stretch before battle? I sure haven't expect for Cell, who was made up of the cells of th Z fighters! Frieza doesn't have one, neither do his goons! Just something funny I remarked lately...)
No wonder he was able to come this far his sanity and body mostly together. No wonder he had been almost able to beat Raditsu...
He scoffed and dressed into his given armour: black spandex whole-bodysuit, white boots and gloves (that he had dismissed right away and gotten wristbands from somewhere) and simple armour with metal shoulders straps and put the scouter on just for the sake of blending in. Armour protected but was uncomfortable as hell! Goku never though he'd miss so much his own red and blue gi, tough, strong and hard fabric... usually washed and dutifully ironed by ChiChi... ChiChi...
The sudden streak of pain and longing in his heart made him close his eyes and inhale deeply. Kami-sama he missed her so... the young Saiyajin pushed the thought to back of his head. As soon as he'd be strong enough he and Gohan would get the fuck out of here and take maybe Raditsu with them, back to ChiChi, back to their friends.
He was still black and blue and decided to get Gohan and get some food as inedible as it was. Bulma's cooking sounded heavenly though it had yet to die in most occasions... he chuckled and made his way to his 'room', opened the door and stepped in quietly. Gohan lay on the iron cot, cutely sleeping like only a child can. Goku smiled proudly and then woke the boy up.
" Gohan... wake up, son! We gotta get something to eat."
" Hmh... Tousan?" the hybrid child yawned groggily and the perked up, " Food?"
" Yeah, brat. Let's go. The emptiness of my stomach is killing me!" Goku exclaimed and picked him up and set on the floor. If the situation had been any other Goku would have laughed at how cute and weird his son looked in his mini armour; now it only served to remind him of their unfortunate circumstances.
The father-son duo made their way to the mess hall along the murky and messy lower corridors finally arriving at the door leading to dining areas. Gohan shortly wondered with what was the lizard Lord trying to poison them now. He didn't like the food they offered here, but he didn't complain that much either. It was still food!
They quickly got their food, or the phlegm as it was so fondly dubbed, and Goku soon spotted Raditsu sitting in a corner with stern expression on his face; sipping his drink and poking his food. Gohan spotted him also.
" Tousan! Look it's ojisan Raditsu! Let's go eat with him!"
" Yeah, let's." Goku smirked and Gohan giggled at his father's expression. It was always a sign of fight or something funny. This time the boy knew it was the latter. The adult Saiyajin sneaked quietly forwards, his chi pushed to absolute zero so his brother's scouter wouldn't pick up his energy. Gohan followed in suit; also his chi kept low. Goku feeling his son's energy drop to nothing gave one surprised look and the hybrid only grinned wildly.
His son had learned some basics of the manipulation of chi, it seemed. He'd need to ask it later for Raditsu couldn't have taught him that so Goku concluded Gohan had picked it up himself...
" YO BROTHER!" he shouted and slammed his tray down with loud bang that attained few interested glares from nearby occupied tables.
" Gah!" Raditz almost screamed in scare and prepared a chi blast while he nearly toppled over in his chair when he was met with two almost identical grinning mugs of his relatives. " Hi uncle!" Gohan greeted, standing on his chair to see and reach. Raditz stared feeling his face go red.
" You idiots! Friggin' no-good assholes!" he insulted darkly them and the duo shrugged in unison, still grinning, " I could've fucking killed you!"
" Not with that aim..." Goku retorted and sat finally down and Raditz bristled up visibly.
" Care to run that by me again?"
" I said: not with that aim!"
" Why you---"
The brothers began a banter and Gohan snickered and poked at his phlegm with the thing that resembled a fork. Grown ups were so funny! He listened intently at their 'talk' and realized they used a lots of words he didn't know or understand. He had heard some of the words before from his father's mouth back home when Goku in his temporary fits of clumsiness hit himself or knocked something down. Mom always got so mad at him for those words...
He tugged at Goku's arm. " Tousan? What does 'fuck' mean?"
Goku and Raditz both froze, sputtering a little. " Uh, what?" Goku asked, not sure he heard right? Did his son just as what fuck meant? He hoped not...
" I said what does 'fuck' mean? And what's a 'jackass'?" Gohan repeated, his inky black Saiyajin eyes blinking at the adults innocently.
" Um... hmm.. eh..." Goku stuttered. ChiChi would kill him! Raditz smirked, humoured, Well well, little brother in front of parental problems, eh? Gohan looked at the expectantly.
" Gohan, do you have other words you'd like to know about?" Goku asked carefully, playing time and thinking whatta hell to answer. To him cursing was no big deal. Had never been, until ChiChi and still wasn't. Grandpa Son Gohan had possessed a vocabulary that Satan himself would have envied when pissed off and Bulma had a mouth like a sailor. Yamcha was a bandit and was required to use bad language most of the time. Kuririn played tough and tried to get women and Kame'sennin just used so much innuendos and dirty language in general that it was normal for him... but then again ChiChi would skin him alive...
" Yeah! I've got few more I don't know!" Gohan chatted enthusiastically and Goku's shoulders slumped. He had feared so... Raditz was beginning to snicker in mirth and smugness.
" Care to say, Gohan?"
" Sure! I heard uncle call this one guy 'whore' and 'slut'... the there was this one alien he called 'cock-sucking bastard' and 'motherfucker' and..."
" Enough, Gohan!" Goku commanded as Raditz burst out laughing getting worried stares from the whole room. Laughing was not a good sight. Either you were going crazy or you already were one and a mad Saiyajin was not hoped for. Goku kicked him on the shin under the table in irritation and Gohan looked at him questioningly. Oh damn that look! How in the hell he was going to explain ChiChi why her four year old son knew such term as a whore or fuck?
Well, he'll confront those words somewhere in the future anywho... the young Saiyajin father opted to tell the truth.
After the 'dinner' two stern and embarrassed looking adult males and one extremely shocked, wide-eyed and blushing boy exited the room. Gohan was in daze. Whoa... to think like things like that existed... why none of this was told in one of his study books back home? Then another peculiar thought crossed his mind.
" Hey Tousan? When you said that whore is a person that gives to any man a fuck which produces babies does that mean that Okaasan's also a whore?"
Raditz began rolling around the floor in laughter, holding his sides as Goku yelled at Gohan that that was absolutely not the case and never ever say any of the things in front of his mothers and she was not a whore. Gohan stared in wonder. What did he do now? Then Goku began patiently explaining his son some concepts...
...and Raditz continued laughing.
