Weak as I am

Chapter 5 –
Radditz

Luckily, Goku’s a
fast healer. One morning, Vegeta returns from hunting and finds Goku fully
healed.

“I guess I’m ready,
Vegeta.”

“Are you sure,
Kakarot? I can’t tell you how we’ll react to this mind sharing anymore. Last
time I wanted to kill myself, I can only imagine what the experience did to
you.”

“You don’t need to
know that, Vegeta, you’ve seen enough trouble already. Please. Let me help
you.”

Vegeta shrugs. “I
don’t have a choice, do I? Seems to be a repeating theme in my life.”

“I don’t want to
rush you, Vegeta. But we have a long way to go…”

“You’re right.
Let’s get this over with. I will give you less than the last time, Kakarot. I
don’t want us to get berserk afterwards.”

“Alright.”

They walk outside
and sit down on opposite sides of each other. Goku feels a shiver run down his
spine as Vegeta slowly puts his hands around the back of his head. Their
foreheads touch and Goku becomes the child Vegeta again.

Vegeta ran down the
corridor and burst into Nappa’s quarters.

“Where is he?”
Vegeta asked hastily, trying to catch his breath.

“In a regeneration
tank, Sire. He was badly wounded when we found him.”

“Are you sure he’s
the only one?”

“We’ve been
searching for months now, Prince. The chance that any more Saiyans survived are
zero to none, I’m afraid.”

“I want to see him,
Nappa. Take me there.”

Nappa went out the
door and took Vegeta to the recovery room. There, floating in a tank, was
Radditz, recovering from his injuries.

“It’s impossible,”
Vegeta whispered. “A low class like him… How can he have survived something
like that?”

“He was on a nearby
planet, Prince Vegeta. He didn’t take the full blast.”

“Even then… It’s
amazing.” Vegeta let his eyes wander over the naked warrior’s body. He wasn’t
even fully grown yet… He couldn’t be older than fifteen.

“I hope he wakes up
soon, Nappa. Maybe he can tell us more about the day Vegeta-sei was destroyed.”

“I hope so, Sire.”

Twelve years later.
Vegeta was almost eighteen years old now. He had just finished a mission with
Radditz; Nappa was still recovering from their last mission.

He jumped to his
feet when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

”Damn you, Radditz,
do that again and it’ll be the last time, I swear!”

“Jeez, Vegeta,
don’t be so jumpy, I’m not going to hurt you.” Radditz sat down next to him.
“He’s been… doing things to you, hasn’t he?” he asked the Prince carefully.

“That’s none of
your business!” Vegeta snapped.

“I just wanted to
give you a piece of advice, since I found out what the damn lizard’s up to with
his widespread sexual abuse. He wants a hybrid, Vegeta. He wants to create
something even more terrible than he already is.”

“How the hell do
you know?” Vegeta turned to look Radditz in the eye, his cheeks flushed with
shame.

“I overheard some
of his scientists talking about it. Whatever you do, Vegeta, don’t let him get
his filthy hands on your semen. He’ll never be able to get you pregnant, since
you’re a dominant Saiyan.”

“That’s a relief,”
Vegeta said sarcastically. “I can’t control my actions when I’m around him,
Radditz. He does things to me…”

“I know. Just try
to maintain control, Vegeta. Up till now, he’s only been trying to break you.
For his plans, he’ll need Saiyan semen.”

“Why?” Vegeta asked
hoarsely.

“Because getting a
submittant Saiyan pregnant didn’t work,” Radditz said, staring at the ground.

“How…” Vegeta
stopped mid-sentence as the horrible truth dawned on him.

“He made me kill my
own offspring, Vegeta. Because it wasn’t what he expected it to be…” Radditz
cried softly.

“You were just a
kid yourself…” Vegeta whispered. He pulled Radditz towards him and held him
close. Tears formed in Vegeta’s eyes as well as their bodies rocked back and
forth, back and forth, back and forth…

Two years later.
Vegeta was twenty now. He had become harsh and indifferent about other people,
except for Radditz. Because they shared a few horrible experiences, they had
become quite inseparable.

“What do you think,
Vegeta?”

“Nappa will be gone
for at least six hours… I’m not going to wait for him. Open the damn bottles,
Radditz, so we can drink to our own doom.”

“As you wish,
‘Sire’.”

“Don’t call me
that, you baka. Our race is dead, and we’ll soon join them.”

“Stop being so
gloomy, Vegeta. Life ain’t that bad.”

“It isn’t? What,
did I miss Frieza’s funeral?”

“He may be still
alive and we may not have a chance at beating him, but he’s not bothering us
now and we’ve just had a good fight with the natives on this planet.”

“Come to think of
it… When did we last have a real fight?”

“I can’t remember,”
Radditz said, scratching the back of his head. “You want to…” He was
interrupted by Vegeta’s boot slamming into the side of his head.

“Yep, he wants to
fight,” Radditz concluded and charged at Vegeta.

“I never realized
this could be even more fun when you’re drinking,” Vegeta said, finishing his
bottle and carelessly throwing it away.

“Let’s play catch.”
Radditz disappeared from Vegeta’s sight and tried to attack him from behind.

“Don’t try to pull
my own moves on me, Radditz, it’ll never work,” Vegeta said, laughing coldly.
He jumped to the side and planted his fist in Radditz’ gut. Radditz retorted by
kicking Vegeta in his lower back, right under his tail. Vegeta howled in pain.

“You son of a
bitch! You’ll pay for that!”

“I can’t wait, Vegeta…” Radditz
seemed calm on the outside, but Vegeta knew better.

‘What’s he up to? I
know that grin on his face, I’ve seen it before…’ The alcohol began to kick in.
Vegeta’s sight became a bit blurry when he turned around to follow Radditz’
movements. Radditz was about to punch him, but Vegeta catched his fist.

“Got you,” he
hissed and flung Radditz over his shoulder, into a mountain side. Rocks and
dust piled up on Radditz.

‘It takes too
long,’ Vegeta thought. ‘He’s probably already…’ He was hit by an energy blast
before he could finish his own thoughts. Dizzy from the alcohol and from the
impact, he whirled down to the ground.

“Got you,” Radditz
hissed as he captured Vegeta from behind.

“You know what? I
don’t care!” Vegeta started laughing and was unable to stop even when Radditz
let go of him. Soon Radditz burst out in laughter as well, equally drunk. They
collapsed on top of each other, hiccupping and giggling like a bunch of school
girls.

“You are not as
heavy as you look, Radditz,” Vegeta concluded. Radditz started laughing again.

“What do you want
me to say? That you punch harder than I expected? How’s your tail?”

“Still hurting.
That was the dirtiest move I’ve ever seen.”

“Let me make it up
to you.”

“How?”

“Wait and see. Turn
around.” Vegeta turned around so he was lying on his stomach. Radditz gently
took his tail and started to massage it.

“Radditz!” Vegeta snarled.
“What the hell...”

“Sshh, my Prince,
it’s okay. I won’t hurt you.”

Vegeta stayed tense
for quite some time, but eventually he relaxed under Radditz’ caring hands.

“Damn that feels
good…”

Vegeta felt how he
got aroused and his cheeks seemed to be burning. Radditz massaged his entire
back and then leaned forward to kiss the Back of Vegeta’s neck.

“Unhh,” Vegeta
reacted. His body tensed again and he turned around, crushing his lips against
Radditz’. For the first time in his life, Vegeta had sex voluntarily.
