Chapter 12
Raditz was feeling weaker. She had been feeling this way since after the sex-selling incident. She noticed that her body had been losing its appetite, and that she was slowly slipping into a state of empty thoughts. She didn't think much of it until her body began rejecting to eat altogether. She couldn't stop vomiting everything that she had eaten and drank. She reached to the point that she couldn't even keep in pills. She had also been feeling symptoms of fevers, body aches, and other pain and illnesses that attacked her.
The others became concerned about her health when they noticed how much she's been staying in bed. Chichi had tried to nurse her back to health since Master Kunkun wanted the fighters to continue their training.
When weeks passed and Raditz's progression only got worse, the woman was moved to a healing chamber which had bought the pain away but not the main reason it was happening.
Lying on a stone bed with only torches providing light, she was surrounded by Beetra, Froze, her daughter's friends and Master Kunkun. "Please tell me that it isn't true?" She caressed her stomach.
Beetra looked like she wanted to lie to become a comfort, but she couldn't. "It's not Gamete's." She responded, thinking it would be better, but it did nothing for the situation to become lighter.
The woman turned her eyes away from her daughter to look at her son and then their former master. "...Call Whis. I need an abortion."
Deep in the forest, Froze was running on all fours like a fast wild dog. The saiyans in training were left with the duty to catch him through the other harsh environments. The baby wasn't always running. Sometimes he'd stop to hunt down for food and eat them like a cartoon Tasmanian devil.
Or to fart in front of one of their faces which nearly killed them when it was extra deadly.
"ARGH!" Vegeta grunted, "That damn bastard!"
"Vegeta, he's a baby!" Goku scolded him.
"He's lived long enough!"
"Don't say that!"
"Shut up! I don't see you getting any closer!"
"He is a fast fella. I wonder if the boys are having any luck." The two adult saiyans took moments to rest while either planning or blowing out their frustration before going for another try.
But then there was a whistle blown meaning that the dog-like baby was caught. They went over to the sound to find Froze in Goten's arms. Trunks was soon over to them.
Master Kunkun stood beside him on a stone to be up to his shoulders instead of his knees. "It seems that the young one had caught him by using some tricks. Goten shall level up to a new training while the rest of you three will still try to catch the little fella. You're not allowed to ask the lad of how he did it or else your training will stop." The pink furry midget instructed them. "Now let him go, Goten. Let's continue to your new training lesson."
"Yes, Master Kunkun." The teen let go of the baby and followed the dwarf at a super fast pace.
Froze was on the ground on his butt, feet and hands, and stared at the men as if either confused or waiting for something to make sense. The three saiyans stared back at him and then the two adult men launched after him while Trunks tried to keep up.
After all that training, the fighters came back to the beach house to relax and eat. Almost everyone was shock and proud to hear that Goten caught Froze.
"It was nothing. I just did some tricks that Raditz pulled on me when we played tag." Goten told them modestly at the dining table.
"Is that so?" Raditz was sitting next to him. She looked at him approvingly. "I knew I could teach you a thing or two. So this means that you're given harder training."
"Y-yeah." The male blushed, staring down at his food. "It's pretty tough. Master Kunkun told me not to tell any of you what it is."
Chichi gave him a second helping of a bowl of rice. "At least you're doing great. Where is he anyway? And his wife?"
Flute responded, "They went to a play for entertainment. They'll be back when Master Kunkun wishes to resume training. I must say that I'm impressed. Only a few months, and even the non-saiyans are reaching to our level." She referred to the trained non-gods.
"Pfft." Chesna made the noise. "I'm sure Beetra's just pulling our leg n' helpin' them cheat."
"I'm not!" Beetra shouted. Offended by such an accusation.
"She's just...pulling your leg." Cralettish told her.
"She's just jealous that they got to this point faster than her." Huilu pointed out, and got a snobby look from the jello.
Teeyik asked Beetra, "Isn't your father coming soon?"
"Dad? Oh right! Dad's coming to finally visit with Gure! He'll be right about-" There was a crash against the sand. "Now!"
Beetra was off her seat in the speed of light to greet her father. Yamcha and Puar tried to catch up. The others went, too, to see them. Vegeta lingered back, glancing at Raditz who was getting off her seat with Goten by her side.
"Are you alright, Aunt Raditz? If you rather rest, they'd understand." Goten inquired and suggested warily.
"No. I am fine, Goten."
"But you didn't eat anything." The teen pointed out.
"I wasn't hungry."
"...Aunt Raditz." Goten held her arm before she could walk away. "I wish that you didn't hide the truth away from me."
The woman looked at her nephew for his sudden rude and selfish action, but then saw the hurt in his expression. She sighed through her nose and took her arm from his hand. "I am only keeping it away because everything can be explained clearly later. Goten...Whatever Master Kunkun ask you to do in your training, you have to carry it out to the end in order to achieve being a god alone."
"But what he's asking...!" He stopped and looked down. "I can't do that. He told us to have a sole reason, but is now telling me to turn my back from it!"
"No, he's telling you to be selfless. You can't have favorites, Goten, like Vegeta and your father. You have to do this for everyone. Not for one person." Raditz saw the dejected face but turned away from him.
"But I am doing it to protect others." He reasoned.
"Your young Goten. You still have so much to experience. You don't have to achieve so quickly."
"But I have to protect you!"
"I didn't bring you here to protect me. I simply gave a proposal to your father and others who wish to join to become stronger. I never did say that it was to protect me. You all only assumed that."
"It doesn't change the fact." The teen moved to stand in front of her. "Asking me to let go of how I feel for you is heartless! Not selfless!"
Raditz was silent. Then the door opened by Beetra who led her adopted father in. "Raditz!" The man ran over to her, and gave her a hug. "I'm so glad to see that you're okay."
The woman patted his back. "I'm alright Tarble. I really am, Gure." She looked at them with intimate familiarity and a welcome smiled.
As they were reconnecting, Goten left immediately.
"So, you don't remember everything?" Tarble asked. Raditz and him were walking along the beach together while Gure was showing the family photos of Beetra growing up with them.
"I remember enough, and how dangerous I am. Especially right now." She sighed. "I'm pregnant and have no memory of ever conceiving. I hadn't let anyone touch me since the incident."
"Do the others know?"
"I'm going to tell them when Whis comes here. He is coming but after Beerus wakes up because the abortion would require both of them, and he needed to make sure his plan would work. He had used the help of many medical specialist in different universes so my hopes are high. Master Kunkun may create gods, but he's no god himself to handle the job."
"It's sort of strange that the god of destruction knows how to give an abortion."
"Don't be silly, Tarble. It's Whis who will do it. When he learned of my condition as a child-"
"A child?!"
"Yes, I actually met Beerus and him as a child when he came to visit Planet Vegeta before. Whis realized immediately of what was my condition, and has been finding ways to rid of my ability. Easy as having an abortion can sound to a mere expecting woman, such procedure never happened for goddesses who will have god or demi-god children. Whis told me about this the last time we met with me as a ghost. He told me that he would continue if another species were to have such a rare case."
"I see..." Tarble said, not meaning to make an awkward silence between them.
"You're not comfortable with the idea of abortion are you." Raditz knew the saiyan well.
"Sorry. It's just something natural to feel, but I fully support you, but why do you want to have an abortion now?"
"Sounds like you're asking if I would have abortion Beetra or Froze if I had a choice. I won't lie. I would have considered it, but I wouldn't kill my prince's child. And as much as I hate Frieza, I would have been willing to have Froze since it was a nice thought to give Beetra a sibling. But most of all, I knew their fathers so I was able to always brace myself with what to expect. But a stranger's child is inside me. I had realistic expectations of what I was heading for with Beetra and Froze. But not this one. I don't want to take any risk. Especially if this child might have that part of me instead of simply being a god."
"Right. That side of you. Do the others know about her?"
"No. No need for them to keep asking me the same question when I enter a room. I have her and the other one under control. I was lucky to have been in a coma while being pregnant with Froze because the mood swings might have bought them out. I can't let her out again."
"This pregnancy does have too many risks."
"It might kill me too. I am unable to eat or sleep. I only look well now because I have been healed, but it might not be enough when I actually give birth." The woman hugged herself when she felt like puking. She frowned deeply as she forced the feeling to subside.
"Raditz..."
"I'm sorry, Tarble. I didn't mean to make our reunion to be about me screwing up again."
"Ah, don't worry about me! It's not your fault! It's whoever impregnated you." Tarble put a comforting hand on her leg since he was too short to reach for a hand. "Gure and I are here to support you all the way!"
That was a good promise, though doubtful in being useful. Raditz smiled anyway. It did make the puking feeling subside a bit. "So how is the court in my absence?"
"Oh, it's great! It's been a bit difficult without you, but then I got the hang of it with Gure's help. We've been doing a lot of improvement in the galaxies. In fact I was given a week off to spend time with you to make sure you're okay."
"Is that so." Raditz felt suspicious of this but reasoned that it couldn't be used against her since she remembered most of the laws that had passed and what hasn't. If anything were to be passed, her children would know of it.
Goten was upset while he sat crisscross at a stone temple at the rocky mountains swarming with deadly beasts. Master Kunkun stood before him, waiting patiently.
"I am sorry but this is a waste of time. I won't turn heartless."
"Stupid boy, you are not turning heartless. You must even your heart, and you can do that by removing the love you have for your aunt."
"You say it like it's easy." The boy pointed out bitterly.
"It is when you have the right reasons. You must become pure of love, Goten. You believe that you are now, but you have a thrill within you that you need to calm down. This thrill of yours is bordering towards an obsession."
"So what if it is?! It's not weird to the entire universe! Or maybe you think that I'm some dirty person!" Goten spatted. His master didn't respond which had the teen reflect on his words. "Sorry. I think I get what you are saying, but right now, my sole reason is to protect her!"
"Him."
"Huh?"
"Raditz was formerly and truly a man. Now he's a woman with such beautiful breasts that I just want to squeeze between and go 'Pafu!' 'Pafu!'"
"Master Kunkun." The fourteen-year-old scowled since it was his aunt that he was talking about.
The man cleared his throat loudly. "My apologies. But so on, you can't aim your sole reason to a single person! I've allowed it before to give a set of motivation, but right now motivations changes with the course of life! So you will sit here until you are able to meditate your desire!" The man stood there silently.
Goten groaned and then meditated. He tried to do as he was told, but his mind wasn't clear. All he could do was think about his aunt and how she was doing. And what was the secret. His heart ached as he thought about her which got him a splitting head ache from the pink man.
"Stop thinking about him!"
"I'm sorry! I'm worried!"
"Don't be! Be calm and have faith! Like your dad and Vegeta. Even that Trunks boy."
"Trunks doesn't know her like I do! And he's even doing this to impress his girlfriend! If anyone should be having this training instead of me, it should be him!"
"He will, but only when he becomes truly serious! The other reason he's doing this was so he could also be strong enough to protect the people he love. As staggering as his own level of seriousness is, you're own is stubborn as a bull! Now stop think of your aunt! Stop loving her so much that you're overshadowing your family and friends!"
"I'm not overshadowing!"
"Then tell me your sole reason!"
"It's so I can be strong enough to protect everyone!"
"But mostly..."
Goten wanted to remain silent, but he was raised by Chichi. "...Mostly aunt Raditz."
The rabbit was not surprised but disappointed. "Foolish boy. You can become a god even without this, but the least you can be is a decent one! You weren't born a god so stop acting like you have privilege. Even those gods don't, but it's hard to make the spoiled eggs listen. Now focus!"
Goten moved from frowning to sulking. "Alright, if Raditz was better than maybe I can focus. The others would be the same."
"True but on your Earth it would be seen as weird comparing who those females are to those men."
The teen thought about it for a moment to realize that it was weird. Chichi and Bulma were wives and Mai was a girlfriend. And Raditz was his aunt who's actually technically a man which was hard to imagine since Goten had only ever seen her as a woman.
"How did Raditz look like as a man?"
"Hm? Good question. That might snap you." The man raised his hands towards the male and created an image of a mean-looking male Raditz in front of him.
"Oh, so that's how she-I mean he looked like. They almost look similar." He looked at the figure with awe. Raditz certainly looked like a man and was pretty handsome, too, as one. Goten certainly felt a shift in his emotions, but it wasn't the accurate shift to make him decent to the master's eyes.
The furry man sighed, making the image disappear. "You certainly are a mystery, boy. You feel great devotion for him, but it's strange since you've only known him for a few months."
"Does it matter how long we've been together? I just want to be able to help her."
"...Little skitter bug. New task then. You are to find yourself a girlfriend."
"A girlfriend?!"
"Or a boyfriend. Or hermaphrodite. Anything that suits you. You are within the complexity of love such as Raditz have been in the past. I think it would be good training for your mind and heart if you were to further expand your ideals of different types of love." The midget explained. "Love is the strongest emotion, but also the deadliest. Think about it Goten. If your aunt were to be hurt or incapable of being saved, you wouldn't be able to handle the aftermath."
"Obviously I wouldn't!"
"But," The man emphasized, "If you were to prepare yourself by opening up to other experiences, then perhaps you wouldn't react too rash that everyone else, including the ones you love, would get hurt. You're different, Goten. Unlike the other saiyans in training, you aren't so simple minded. Take the moment to grow. Surely your aunt would approve."
Goten thought on his words, and needed the confirmation. He went to his aunt who was in the middle of cooking with speed and grace with his mother and Videl who were also doing a fine job. Seeing the woman now, one wouldn't think that she was considered to be so weak with such charisma, moves and intelligence. It was more of an impact since she's been horribly sick for the past few months.
"Goten?" Her voice resonated in his ears. "Your training is over?"
"U-uh, yeah! I actually need to talk to you...about something."
"Okay. Just wait for me for a second. You two can handle this without me?"
"Of course! I am turning into a pro!" Chichi told her confidently.
"I hope you two have a nice talk." Videl told them as support.
Raditz removed her apron and showed that she was wearing a nice summer dress under it. The woman had been wearing more dresses since wearing pants felt unnatural for someone who has been wearing a speedo for a majority of her life.
Goten faintly remembered how Raditz looked like as a man, and seeing male Raditz now looking all woman made him wonder how he would dress as a man. Probably have to get used to pants since men didn't wear much of anything as bottoms.
The two went out to the beach to talk. The house wasn't very crowded. 18 went with Marron back to earth with some of the others to do some fun earth activities. Gohan had to go back for work. Videl stayed to be of help. They all had a fast teleportation watch machine for them to come back and forth.
Though Goten's own was more special since it could reach farther into the galaxy with its own radio and music player to different outer space stations with a language translation to understand. Raditz had been teaching him to speak the saiyan language as well when they had the time.
The woman didn't purposely treat him special. Just that the male made the effort to be with her the most that such special treatment came natural. Goku was a different story since the male was a bigger annoyance.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" She inquired.
"Master Kunkun told me that my training is postponed until I got myself a girlfriend."
"That's a good idea. You're at the appropriate age to have a mate."
"A mate?! N-no! Nothing like that! Just someone that I can spend a lot of quality time with!"
"You mean like your human's 'dating' rituals."
"Y-yeah. The way you put it." The male blushed lightly. "Master Kunkun told me that I have been spending too much time worrying about you, and that I should go out and have more 'experience'. So I could be a decent god."
"A person with experience does become wise."
"Like you?"
The woman gave a wry smile. "Not that much experience. Just that you need to understand love, heartbreak and how to handle the aftermath. We aren't asking you to find someone who'll potentially break your heart."
"But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of why I'm doing this."
"Hmm? Good point. I bet if it was your father, he'd just do it without really questioning it. But probably does it half heartily and forgets about it. Why did you want to talk to me personally about this?"
"Uh..." The male lightly blushed, "I thought that you should be the first to know...And I wouldn't mind being given advice. I never had a girlfriend like Trunks does."
"Nothing to be ashamed about. I'll gladly help. But you should inform your mother about this, too."
The boy frowned. "Do I have to?"
"I know she can be pushy, but she's your mother. No matter how old you are, you should always give your mother a heads up with your life changing decisions."
Goten groaned at the reasonable point. And so he told his mother who was happy for him, and then began giving him a lot of stern advice of how to treat a girl and what kind of girl she should be. Gohan already achieved having a rich and loving, strong wife. So Goten had more freedom of what type of girl he'd marry, but she needed to have the skills of a respectable house wife since Goten was to be the man of the house. Very traditional values that the teen thought were a bit out dated for his youth culture but continued to listen until she finally stopped.
After all that, Raditz had them start searching tomorrow. Goten agreed, but then later regretted it when Chichi told everyone of his new task.
Trunks nudged his shoulder with a fist. The two were sitting at a cliff when Goten wanted to run away from everyone teasing him.
"Way to go, Goten! Finally getting the chance to hit it with the girls!" He sounded like he was a little jealous. "So where are you going to look? What is your type?"
"I don't know. My mom said I should look for a girl who knows how to be a house wife."
"Seriously? You're going with what your mother says."
"I never had any experience with girls, so I don't know what I want."
"That's because you grew up at the mountains playing with dinosaurs and dragons. I bet you don't even know how they look like naked."
"And you do?!"
"Of course I do." Trunks said bluntly. Goten blushed, remembering that he had a girlfriend.
He grumbled, "I didn't need to know that."
Trunks suddenly blushed, "I'm not talking about Mai, idiot!"
"Eh?!"
"I meant that I read some of my grandpa's porn mags. He seriously leaves them all over the place that it wasn't hard to know what a woman looks like naked. But my girlfriend isn't like those women at all. She's really traditional that she still blushes whenever we hold hands...Well, enough about that. You're having your aunt help you?"
"Yeah. I figured that she'd be the most helpful and wouldn't tease me so much about it."
"I guess that makes sense. So are you going to look for a girl like her?"
"What?!" Goten blushed hot red.
"It's obvious, man. You told me last year that you were in love with her remember."
"I was confused back then! Now I know better!"
"Really? So you just like her like an aunt now." Trunks gave a doubtful expression.
"Y-yeah...I-I think so."
"You think so? Which is it? Do you still like her or not?"
"I don't know. I don't have anything to compare this feeling to, so I guess that's why our master is making me do this! I do love aunt Raditz, but do I really love her? I know it's incest and all, but that's what we just consider weird. Kings and queens used to do it all the time."
"And screw up their lineage of who was who's cousin, nephew and niece."
"I'm not going to have a baby with her!"
"So you want no kids?"
"No! I mean-" He held his head, feeling absolute frustration. "I DON'T KNOW. If I were to be with Raditz, then yeah, I don't want any. But if it turns out that what I was feeling was just my hormones, then maybe."
"She is hot."
"Trunks!"
"Hey, you don't have to be upset. Besides, she might turn into a man at some point. Have you thought of that?"
"...Yeah. Master Kunkun actually showed me a holographic image."
"And?"
"Uhm..." Goten raised his eyes up to the sky that was slowly turning purple and then at the remaining pink disappearing.
"Oh god, dude, really?!"
"They really didn't look that different, and honestly, I don't care for traditional views! I might end up having a boyfriend. I don't know. I just...don't know." Goten huddled himself together. It was such a simple task, but in a way, it felt like he was betraying his loyalty to his aunt.
He didn't know what to do, and Trunks only tried to comfort him. He figured that he just had to wait for tomorrow.
The next day, Raditz and Goten were at a city's beach in normal civilian swimming clothing. It was summer, so everyone wore less to beat the heat. That didn't help the teen focus on other girls...or boys, when his aunt was absolutely stunning.
Raditz was wearing board shorts, a strapless bikini top with an unbuttoned white blouse on. When she removed the blouse to put on sunscreen as a habit adapted by a stubborn Chichi, almost every guy and some girls stopped to stare at her.
"Goten, can you rub it on my back?"
"Uh! Uh. Sure!" Goten reluctantly put the sunblock on his hands and placed them on the smooth revealed skin. He tried not to linger too much as he tried to cover every mark of her back. He sighed, feeling like he had won a battle.
"Thanks. Now, let's go find you a girl."
"Already?!"
"Yeah. This beach is filled with pretty, cute girls and most are wearing their bikinis so you don't have to use too much of your imagination." She winked at him. The teen looked pretty lost and nervous. Raditz thought that was really cute, "Relax. We'll find the perfect girl for you."
"How do you know that?"
"Trust me. After meeting a lot of males, I have a pretty good idea of your ideal type."
The male's heart panic. "You do?!"
The woman bend down to have them face to face, which made Goten's face feel hotter. He looked down to avoid eye contact. He thought it'd be the end of him if he looked into those loving eyes of hers. She spoke, "Aunt Raditz sees that your type is a cute, kind and supportive girl who wouldn't freak out about your alien heritage."
"Huh?" He met the woman's eyes who held a perceptive power.
Raditz placed her hands on her hips, smirking like she was the queen of the world. "Unlike your brother or your father, you're not really impressed with strong women since you've grown up around them most of your life. You'd like someone different. Not a fighter nor any of those traditional things that your mother told you. Instead you want someone that is very sweet and innocent."
Goten was surprised by what his aunt said. Though he noticed that some of those traits didn't describe her. He felt upset about that but understood what he was going through. He wasn't supposed to be in love with his aunt Raditz.
To him: she was strong, beautiful, intelligent, wise, talented, and so many other good things. She could also be mean and secretive, but that made him want her more.
The male looked down as he put his hand over his heart. It felt like his heart became rubber and someone was pulling at it until it snapped. He didn't know what to do with what he felt so he ran and then flew away.
"Goten?!" Raditz cried out to him, but didn't follow him.
"My, I didn't think you could look so lovely as a female." A light voice told her. Whis had appeared along with Beerus. The two shocking the crowd.
The woman felt glad to see them. "So we're ready?"
"Yes." The blue man responded. "Did you tell the others?"
"Flute should be delivering the news now. Though I thought you'd come later. So how is this going to be done?"
"It will be a painful process."
"Spear up the ass painful or electrocution painful?"
"More of the heart attack sort of pain."
"That's manageable."
Beerus grinned, "You haven't changed since the last time we met you."
"And my brother almost beat you. You should know now that he is being trained by Master Kunkun with the help of my children."
"I know, and I can't wait for our rematch in the next five years. I really want to fight him now, so let's make this quick." The god demanded, and so the three went to the Planet Liverous to have it be done.
Raditz was told by Whis of what he had learned from other universes to make her abortion happen without killing her or leave her crippled. The woman may be a mortal with skin capable of being cut, but her ovaries and the child growing was a different matter.
In order to destroy both, the woman had to drink a special liquid that had no taste or smell. It was blended with rare ingredients that required quite a journey for Whis. This liquid would slip through her mouth like air as it streamed through her blood to her uterus to weaken the god genes.
After drinking, Raditz had to wait for it to take full effect for an hour.
Immediately afterwards, Beerus was to hold her wrists down while Whis was to take a green glowing ball into his hand. Raditz would experience an episode where she would change to different personalities and may revolt and act violently.
The purple god was willing to take the risk of being the first person to have to deal with her other person as the ball took effect of her body.
Prepared and held down, Raditz opened her mouth to take the ball in, but then there was a thunderous, "STOP!"
Whis paused in his movement to look to the sound. A giant green slob of a male stood within the room. "Judge Suoigiler."
"What?" Raditz sat up when Beerus let go of her wrists. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard of your dishonorable acts, you wretched wrench! This action will not happen!" His voice thundered mightily in the room with such vain dignity.
Raditz was insulted by his rudeness. She knew him very well with her time as a ghost. While creating the system, the judge had only gotten the position through his connections. Though the woman knew that he would be a poor judge in making critical decisions, she thought she needn't worry for the fact that the system had an odd amount of judges who all held the same power over deciding laws and punishments. "It seems that your position did give you a shitty attitude, Suoigiler."
"And you have lost your sense of sensitivity!" He spitted his words that Raditz backed away even if she was a good distance from him.
"I don't care of what you say. You are just a judge among others! You're say alone doesn't give you power to dictate my actions!" She took the green ball from Whis and made the attempt to swallow it before the liquid's effects worn off. But then the ball wouldn't enter her mouth.
She forced the ball to go in and had Whis and Beerus help her but none could do it. It was like there was a shield in her mouth.
"Grngh! What is the meaning of this?!" Beerus questioned angrily.
The judge responded, "Raditz, son of Bardock and Kid Mame of the saiyan race, you have been restricted under law to not have an abortion."
"What?!" Raditz shouted so loud that the others heard her. They were nearby to make sure that she came out safe and possibly do something if anything were to happen. They entered the scene, questioning what was going on but was ignored. "What do you mean under law?! Our laws are not able to defy a being's ability!"
"It does now! For this law especially. The court had agreed that abortion was an abomination of an act and must be prevented."
"When was this agreed upon, and how could I have not known of this?!"
"You were removed from court and replaced by another for the fact that you are now a threat and must be under control."
"A threat?! Being pregnant is a threat!"
"Then do as have been done before. Go into a coma." The man said this so casually that it was beyond offensive.
Raditz tried every morsel in her being to not let go. "You cannot do this! I will go to court! We agreed by law that our laws would not control a person's free will."
"That is in the past and now this is law! You cannot change our minds! The galaxies had faced enough damage with women selfishly not doing what they were created to do."
"I am not a woman, and even if I'm not, how could the court agree to this. Your selfish beliefs shouldn't dictate what a person should do with their body! It's a violation of privacy!"
"In the name of the law, it is not if we are providing safety to that privacy of continuing a race."
'That's bullshit! My body is my own!"
"No longer by law, and you have no say whatsoever." He told her strictly as if this was the final words to be said.
And Raditz was silent. Very still and very silent as she stared at the man who made her feel a hate that she thought she wouldn't have to feel again.
Others that weren't her wanted to do something, but others prevented them since the judge was of a court who held undefinable power and security.
Everything was so still as if time stopped around the woman who continued to spin within her mind as her empty chest flooded with emotions. She disappeared through teleportation that surprised the others.
"Mom!" Beetra cried out. Froze and her looked to each other and nodded before flying out at top speed.
"What just happened?" Krillin questioned.
Whis frowned as he held the green ball.
When the event was clearly explained that Raditz was forbidden at will to not have an abortion.
Tarble claimed, "That can't be possible! I should've known of this!"
"They must have worked you to have not noticed." Whis reasoned, "They kept this well under wraps that even I didn't know of this. And that makes this more suspicious by what else we learned." The male gave more news. "The child has no father."
"What?" Goku was confused.
"It was a self insemination. The reason the other kais or the most talented trackers are unable to find the former kai is because she was residing as an ovum within Raditz that could self reproduce herself into a baby but with the god gene inside her."
"But wait," Gohan said, "Raditz went through her heating period and had her menstruation thus killing a fertilized egg. You mean to say that it is just one child correct."
"Yes." Whis replied, "It would've been more troublesome if she had split herself into multiple children within one ovum. If this pregnancy continues, then we may have more troubles than just the child."
"What do you mean?" Vegeta questioned.
"That is not for me to tell you. Raditz takes this problem with her very personal." The blue man told them leaving them in secrecy.
Beerus agreed with him, "It's not our say or our problem right now since we'll only get in the way. You guys know how to do the process. Don't mess up." The two left.
"Wait!" Goku cried out, still having questions.
"Leave them." Master Kunkun ordered. "They were right. The only ones who can handle Raditz right now are the ones who can remind her of who she is. Goku. Vegeta. Search for her. Froze and Beetra may not be enough to find her. Even I can barely sense where she is."
The two adult saiyans wondered how that was possible for a master such as himself but didn't question further. They set out at top speed. With the harsh training, they were able to travel to space at top speed to planets to search and breathe.
Unknown to the saiyans and Froze, Goten had also joined the search when he had came back a few minutes before the judge appeared. He had been using his new watch to pinpoint where Raditz is exactly. He found her and immediately sent himself there.
He made a grave mistake when he landed on a planet without air to breathe and coldness falling over him. He remembered Master Kunkun teaching him about this. Goten formed an energy barrier to breathe. And then got hit in the face and crashed into a wall of snow that fell over him.
He got up to see who it was. Much to his surprise, he saw that it was his aunt Raditz still wearing what she wore at the beach. Everything about her was still in place except her eyes. It flashed from black to red, and her energy was flickering to his senses. "Aunt Raditz?"
He wasn't sure if he upset her because she ran towards him and almost punched him into a coma when her punch collided with the wall and broke to pieces. "AUNT RADITZ?!"
"Shut the fuck up! I'm not your fucking aunt!" Her voice was rough and words were harsh. "Right now your face really fuckin' annoys me, you damn twink!" She raised her leg and stumped it down. Goten barely dodged and gave himself a good distance away from her. That distance was easily defined when the snow rose from her stump.
This was insane! She looked exactly like his aunt, but her power and movement was powerful. It was hard to tell what her power level was when it kept flickering.
The woman charged him at a fast speed. He quickly put his arms in front of him to take the punch, but then the woman disappeared from sight. He immediately turned around expecting the obvious move, but then his head was slammed down like a head shoved into a jack in a box, and his lower nuts was kicked up. He then felt a quick cardiac arrest to his chest he felt a force on his back. He gave out an abrupt cough of blood. His eyes were pinpointed. He fell down not moving on the snow.
Raditz walked over to his head and rose her foot, steadying it over his head. When she got it positioned correctly to end this quickly, she rose it higher before landing it down.
Yet, she was hugged from behind. "What the fuck?!" Froze was holding her from behind.
"Mom, stop!" Beetra cried out. She had sensed Goten's weakened power. She quickly put her hands over him to heal him. "Mom, remember who you are!"
"What's happening here?!" Goku and Vegeta arrived at the scene, having sensed Goten's lack of energy as well.
Raditz screeched out like a maniac until it became similar to that of a wild monkey as she tried to set herself free from Froze's grip. Beetra slapped her face which did nothing to silence her. "Mom! You are not Kid Mame! You are Raditz, and I am your daughter! Remember!" The screeching had stopped but was replaced by an ominous purple energy flowing out of Raditz. The woman's flickering eyes stopping to a dull red.
Beetra and Froze saw this and both at once struck their mother with their fingers to her temples which knocked the woman out.
Raditz was on the stone bed. Her head was being healed by Beetra's hands that were on her mom's head. Yamcha was standing with her for emotional support. Froze, her adopted parents, her friends and master were trying to find ways to save the woman.
Goten who had been already healed was sitting with the others who wanted to understand what was going on.
Flute was the one to tell them. "Raditz suffers from dissociative identity disorder. As most of you know, he faced a consistency of physical, emotional and mental abuse throughout his life. He had his breaking point when he was prostituted to a race that relished in torture and rape. He suffered to the point of near death, and the way his body helped him through it was by developing another personality. He has three." She had a small version of Raditz in different colors of purple, red and green.
"Three personalities?" Videl found this frightening and odd.
Goku pointed out, "Now that you talk about it, Beetra told Raditz that she wasn't Kid Mame. Her mother."
Flute explained each of the personalities, "Yes. The first personality is Raditz, the main one, as you all know." She showed the red one alone, and then replaced it with the purple one. "The second one is her mother. Raditz was almost sexually abused by one of his mother's one-night stands, but his mother murdered the man in cold blood in front of him. This was buried in his unconscious, but resurfaced when Raditz didn't want to be sexually abused anymore. Thus, he creating her from his memories into his body. But due to being neglected from her as well, this personality is distorted. When Raditz as Kid Mame realizes that he isn't his mother, he becomes insane and violent until he feels complete indifference. Apathy. Raditz is most dangerous when he no longer feels any emotions whatsoever."
Goten asked, "Why does she become more powerful? When she attacked me, she was faster and stronger than she ever was. Was she always that strong?"
"No. She stole that energy from you." Flute responded. Everyone was confused. "The ability to steal energy is the true power of a defected saiyan."
"What are you talking about now?" Vegeta questioned. He had not heard of this.
"I supposed that you didn't know the true reason the defected saiyans were erased. The true saiyans, as you'd put it, were given a prophecy by a strange traveler on their planet about their rule over the truffle race, and the birth of a defected saiyan who could not be stopped and may destroy them. That this defected saiyan will be born through those born by man, yet a hero born by a clean lineage through woman will stop him. It was just a prediction, but everyone was superstitious. The true saiyans banded together and murdered them and their children. This created the civil war between the saiyans."
"Wait," Gohan said, "I remember back when dad was fighting Beerus that Shenron told us that the saiyan god was created when good and evil saiyans were fighting each other. But due to the saiyan god's time limit, the evil saiyans won."
"Yes. And that saiyan god is Raditz's grandfather through his mother's side."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
"I'll explain by going further back into history to how the saiyans were created. The truth was that saiyans were merely creatures capable of reverting back from ape to saiyan when a full moon arose, but then a god decided to mate among them, which had given them the power to reach a potential of a god. An unnatural power that had you become the fight-thirsty warriors you are today."
She continued, "Raditz's grandfather was a fighting prodigy who taught himself to sense energy and create techniques to win. He knew about the existence of gods and discovered a secret to becoming a god by himself. He had his five most trusted friends help him reach this goal. When the war happened, he used it to protect his friends and family, but due to its limit and uneven sides, he died in battle."
"But how is Raditz a defected saiyan if his grandfather was a saiyan of pure good?" Bulma questioned. "Is it also the reason Raditz can give birth to gods?"
"Those were complicated questions before, but on our research, we have discovered that it was like the birth of albinos where both parents must have the albino gene to give birth to one. In this case, Raditz is capable of giving birth to gods because his parents' genetics had perfected his to have the god gene within him. In a way, Raditz is a true god himself."
"Hold on! That is preposterous! Raditz was the weakest saiyan among our race! That was the sole reason he was mistreated!" Vegeta reminded her.
Flute reasoned, "That would be because he never felt the love of his parents like Beetra and Froze did. A saiyan's source of power from their emotions and rage is only a part of it, but love is the most powerful. If Raditz had never held his children with love, then they wouldn't have been able to have the will to release their true potential. However since Raditz was deprived of true love and was forced to seek comfort by ridding of his emotions, he became a defected saiyan."
Goten asked, "So you mean we could be like her if we feel absolutely nothing?"
"Almost. You would take energy but not to an extreme extent. Since Raditz is a god, he may be capable of taking the whole universe's matter. We had predicted that if he does this, he will become the next big bang and create a new universe as if this one never existed." Flute concluded to the explanation.
And then continued, "We had tried a way to rid of this personality through different methods such as therapy. There is no permanent cure since it is a part of his unconscious and killing it within that mental state would require Raditz to face an amnesia that'd reach to the point of becoming mentally retarded. Even in the after life because even in there, it can be dangerously appear there, too. Even if we were to try hypnosis, that would mean that Raditz had to remember the past tortures and rapes and overcome them himself, and there's a terrifying chance that he couldn't. So instead he has been in control of himself, but now that he is pregnant, it had become more difficult."
"So what are you going to do?" Trunks asked.
There was a moment of silence before Flute sighed, "We're going to put her into a coma and under surveillance until Tarble or someone will be able to rid of the no abortion law, or wait for the child to be born with preparations to make sure Raditz survives it, and we are able to kill this former kai."
"Is there anyway that we can help?" Goten asked hopefully.
"We will ask if anything was out of our reach. But before we put Raditz into a coma, we'll have each one of you see him first."
When Beetra entered the room to tell them that they could each see her, the females went first. Chichi, Videl, Mai and Bulma couldn't help crying. 18 was angry about this but didn't cry. She wanted to be an optimistic person even if she didn't really act like it. Raditz knew she was. And Marron was told that her favorite nanny was just going somewhere for a few months so told her bye bye after showing her drawings of them with everyone else on the planet.
The males were to go next. Pilaf and Shu didn't go since all they really did was pig out and play on the island with Mai being their babysitter in a way. Tien and Chiaotsu weren't sure if they should since they didn't really know her, but they were told that it would be nice seeing everyone.
So the two went in together to see Raditz lying down on the stone bed with a blanket over her to keep her warm. The stone bed was to be where she had to stay on since it would continuously heal her during her sleep.
"Hey." The bald man said, trying not to be awkward.
Raditz gave a smirk, "Awkwardness means that the heart is moving. Since there's a time limit, let's not have any awkward silences. I simply ask of you to look after Yamcha on how he's treating my daughter. I know I can trust you and Chiaotsu with that. Will you though?"
"Yes, but Yamcha's a good guy, you know." The male said, trying not to sound defensive about the request.
"I know. What I meant is for you to make sure that he's not too easy on my daughter. She's sweet, but she'll turn him into a dog with her needs and wants and manipulation. It's her guilty pleasure to turn him into a puddle. Just make sure that it doesn't get out of hand, and they're not married next year. I want there to be one that I'm invited to when I wake up." She smirked wider.
Tien couldn't help smiling back. "I promise."
"Good." Then the woman reached out her arms. The man hugged her and received a kiss on the cheek, and then Chiaotsu got a turn. The cute one told her, "I hope you have a nice sleep. I'll miss your cooking. You always knew how to make my favorites even if we weren't that close."
"I'll make you lots of them when I wake up. I did always find you cute." She kissed his cheek which had the little one blush.
After that, Krillin entered. The comedic couldn't help saying, "Y'know, I always pictured you as a princess, but I always thought that it would be Rapunzel and not Sleeping Beauty." Raditz chuckled with amusement. Krillin chuckled, too, and gave her a hug. "I just hope that you'll have a good sleep. It'll be kind a weird not having you around until next year, but I know that when you wake up, it'd be like you never slept because we'll all be here for you."
"I always did like you best among my brother's friends. I'm glad my tail had the chance to smack you through a house." She grinned with mirth.
Krillin lightly laughed at that joke. "Well...Good night, then." He told her casually before leaving. It sounded casual but when the bald monk exited, he let out a sigh of how truly tense he was on the inside. He truly did hope everything would turn out right. He wouldn't be only losing someone he knew and liked a lot, but his best friend would also be losing his only sibling again and that was a lot to take in if nothing goes right.
The next one to enter was Piccolo. He told her pointblank, "You told me before that you wanted me to kill you in this type of situation, but I'm sorry. I think I'll have to decline."
"Dammit." The woman said playfully. "I would've told you it would be the best choice, but that was before I had the precious memories of my children. Right now I just want to stay optimistic to the point that I might try to find love for a child that isn't truly mine and stealing genes from my eggs that isn't hers. It's like nothing is mine anymore inside my own body." She frowned as her eyes got teary, but she refused to cry.
Piccolo said nothing but hugged her gently. The woman accepted the hug that edged her to cry but found the strength to think positively before the man left.
Up next was Trunks who was scratching the back of his head while looking at the corner distantly. "Wow, this is weird." He said, thinking it would stop the awkward feeling, but it made it worse.
Raditz sighed through her nose with a smile. "Prince Trunks, I hope that you don't mind that I have a favor to ask of you."
"You can ask anything. If this is about looking out for Goten, I already got that covered with Gohan and the others." He told her confidently.
The woman smiled at his selfless generosity. "Thank you, my prince. And I am also rooting for you and Mai to remain a couple. She's too good for you to lose."
The male blushed by the support. "I'm not plannin' on it."
"Good luck, my prince."
"Yeah, you too." He gave her a hug. "See ya next year." He told her before leaving.
The next one was Gohan. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked politely.
"Pregnant." The woman giggled and received a hug. "And to think the last time I saw you, you were a crying baby."
"And you put me in the pod as a time out because a saiyan shouldn't cry." Gohan added to that memory as he stood straight and looked down at her.
Raditz stayed true to that. "They shouldn't. You want to know a shocking fact. Beetra and Froze never cried as a baby like I never did after I was born. All the babies would cry, but I didn't. The female nurses thought that I was dead, but I was breathing. The first time I cried was when I was five and discovered that the mother I expected to see me happily like the others wasn't happy to see me. Beetra and Froze first cried when they heard that I died. Beetra was just 12, I think, and Froze was almost a year old. I heard their cries and yours and Kakarot's when I died. I wanted to cry, too. Without being ashamed for it."
"When was the last time you cried?"
"Last year... A week before I became a burlesque dancer." She grinned at her nephew who gave a wry smile as he awkwardly remembered the moment he watched his aunt strip in front of him.
"You did have quite a voice for the job." He said while refusing to look at her until he got the memory out of his mind.
Raditz shortly laughed at the funny look on his face and grabbed his hand. "I love you, Gohan. As much as I love everyone else."
The male smiled warmly at her. "I love you too." He gave her a kiss on the cheek that was below the corner of her eye as a sign that he would kiss her tears that was nothing to be ashamed of. A sign that they shared silently before he told her to have a safe sleep and left her for the next one who was Goten. The teen gave her a wide-eyed look of observation.
Emotions flashed before his eyes but one was constant: Hopelessness and love. A bitter combination.
Raditz tried to soothe him by giving him a pleasant, lovely smile that the boy wanted to see. "I'm alright, Goten. I'm here. Come sit next to me."
The boy did as he was told, but he sat facing the wall instead of her. Raditz touched his face gently to have him look at her. "It's just the two of us." She pulled him down to her chest where the young teen cried.
This took a while. Goku and Vegeta were the last ones left outside the room. "Goten must be crying." The father said.
"Let him." Vegeta said, sounding grateful that they were talking after the silence went on too long for him. "We all deserve to get as much time as we need."
Kakarot understood what Vegeta meant by that. He couldn't imagine how he was feeling about this. "It's not your fault, Vegeta."
"Shut up, Kakarot. This will be between Raditz and me. I don't need your damn opinion." The saiyan told him sternly since he wasn't in the mood to snap and get angry. He needed the time to think of what to say. How to handle it.
Goten finally came out with puffy red eyes and a tear streaked face. His father gave him a comforting hand on his shoulder before giving him a hug to feel better before leaving to rest since his eyes and head ached.
Someone had to be next. "Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"I'll go last." He responded as he planned.
"Alright." The man entered to see his sibling who was happy to see him with expecting eyes.
"Vegeta is going last."
"Yeah. He's really thinking about how this is going to go."
"I knew he would." She smiled at the familiarity. "So are you close to achieving god by yourself?"
"Yeah. Master Kunkun told me that I just needed to go through one more training session before I take on the form alone. Vegeta is doing the same."
"Good. You know, I actually gave you this opportunity to stop me if worse came to worse."
"...I figured it was something like that. But it won't come to that kind of end. I won't make it." The man promised with that overconfidence he was cursed and blessed to possess.
Raditz had come to love and hate that side of him. "Yet, you need to choose between one person and zillions of lives to save." She reached out to his hands which Goku gave her. The saiyan noted of how gentle and soft Raditz's hands were. "And who would forgive you." She inquired, but the answer was clear. "If there's anyone I want to do the job, I want it to be you, Kakarot. You're the only one who I love who I know can do it. You're the hero who was foretold to stop me. Born through a clean lineage of woman."
"But it's just a prediction by some wanderer. Any one of us could've been you. Think about the probability." Goku told her as a matter-of-fact.
Raditz lightly did since she had thought about that before. "...Yes. I'm being too cruel."
"You're just anxious to make this stop." He held his sibling's hands firmly. "But I promise that no matter what, we'll all make it through."
"Someone will have to die."
"That's for whatever the future has in plan, but right now, it's all about being alive and together." He affirmed this with a determined loving expression.
It removed some of the doubts within Raditz. She was mostly happy though because Kakarot was her brother and her brother alone. Something nobody else can share with her. "I'm so glad that you knocked your head and became an idiot. I love you, Kakarot."
"I love you too, Raditz." The brothers shared a hug. "I'll be here." She was told before she watched her brother walk away for the next one: Vegeta.
Her prince walked in stiffly. Eyes looking at her but quickly diverted away by guilt. Raditz waited for him to say something patiently. She wanted her prince to lay down the conversation.
Vegeta forced himself to look at her to not betray his planned actions, but he couldn't stand the sight of her. She was about to be out of his life for a few months. A few months too many to him. There was just so much she could be doing in those months but is refrained to this...because of him.
His eyes betrayed him as he cried. This was all his fault. He kept telling himself that. It was all his fault. He covered his face with his arms to not look so shameful, but Raditz got up despite the warnings just to hold him close.
Forgetting the lust and child they shared, Vegeta was her child. Raditz was the closest thing to a mother that Vegeta had and hated that he was doing nothing but hurt her. Even now.
Yet Raditz soothed him by singing to him the saiyan songs as if there was nothing wrong at all. Nothing wrong at all for him to cry about. It was the same back at the dressing room. The prince held her close tightly to feel the reality that Raditz was there holding him. To make it all feel real.
Raditz told him sweetly, "You were worth it Prince Vegeta so don't feel guilty or ashamed. Just feel happy and anxious to fight better battles. I'll always love you my prince no matter what."
"Y-you shouldn't." He stuttered through his sobs.
"It's too late."
"Nngh...I...I love you, too." He forced out the words with a strong willingness over his pride.
After that was over, Raditz went through the process of going into a coma. Beetra was present with Froze. Raditz was sitting up on her stone bed and giving them a reassuring smile.
"I'll miss you, mom." Beetra told her forlornly. Froze nudged his head at her arm, whimpering.
"C'mon you two. You make it seem like I'm gonna be gone forever. I died, and look what we all went through together."
"Yeah, but if I don't get rid of this thief in you, then there's going to be a big mess afterwards. I look forward to the fight, but not with the possibility that you might die. It's not right."
"Now you are just being hypocritical of yourself. I strove to live just to hold you during your births. I'll strive to see the two of you take care of this idiot who thinks that being a god could take down two talented ones." She hugged them both for as long as their hearts can be contented with for a bit and gave them both a kiss before lying down. She took a deep calm breath before falling asleep.
Master Kunkun had formed a bubble around her which was to keep her into a deep sleep.
A/N:
Yup, Raditz is actually a god by both his parents had special rare god genes mixing to make him like making an albino being born case. But due to never being loved at a young age, he wasn't emotionally stimulated enough to access his god powers.
Instead he was stimulated to do the opposite. After being abused to being broken, Raditz had developed a multipersonailty disorder of three (I intentionally left the third one out). One is herself, and the second one is of her mother after a cold blooded incident that Raditz had kept within his unconscious. But due to its distortion, and his need to be in comfort, his mind chooses to shutdown his emotions which triggers the opposite of a super saiyan - a defect saiyan who takes in energy and matter to strengthen. If taken in too much than a big bang occurs killing the former universe and the defect saiyan.
His children was able to become gods due to the love he was able to give them as much as he could before Tarble took Beetra and gave her a nice childhood and Froze was given tasks of destruction.
