[7] Assorted Groups - FoF Production Building

[Raditzu]

So confusing?

Running down a hallway was enough on its own, Rad?s mind had plenty to process. Then they were ambushed by some? thing. Bojack seemed to take care of the beast in short order, but in the meantime, Bardock was going through some kind of mid-life crisis. It would have to happen now, wouldn?t it? The only thing that made any sense at all to Raditzu was some mention of Kao. Sounded like Pops had a score to settle. The long-haired warrior could respect the logic. You want to call someone out, you turn into a giant ape and start smashing stuff. It made perfect sense.

?What are you doing!??

The ?turn into a giant ape? part wasn?t sitting well with Raditzu. Unfortunately, he was far too late to do anything about it. The light of the small orb washed over Rad?s face, bathing him in a silver hue. His tail twitched, attempting to leap from its place around his waist. With startlingly immense willpower, Raditzu stayed his fifth appendage (perhaps ?sixth? would be more appropriate), though it produced no results. He could still feel something inside him slowly bubbling. Ancient, primal forces were slowly churning within the warrior. The legacy of his race was coming to bear, whether Rad wanted it or not.

Somewhere in the back of Raditzu?s mind, he was aware of movement? some other happenings. Maybe it was Bardock, maybe it was 18 and Bojack. That wasn?t his concern at the moment. Forcing his mind to focus, momentarily, he tossed his armor aside and, despite an odd look, pulled his pants off. More than once he had been caught in the wrong attire during a full moon. Nothing he was wearing had been designed to withstand the stress of this ridiculous transformation, but he would like to have at least armor to wear once he was done. The pants he could go with or without, they simply helped keep things in place when he needed to really move.

Putting concerns about his genitalia aside for the moment, Rad could feel his body shifting, bulging and, in general, expanding. A soft crunching emanated from the saiyan?s body as his skeletal structure slowly reconfigured itself. Fur burst through Raditzu?s skin, quickly covering his body in a light-brown coat. His long mane of hair turned the same hue of brown and actually receeded into the rest of his coat. Additionally, the hallway was becoming smaller at an alarming rate. Rad braced himself as his transformation forced his body through the metal confines of the small building. Well? small in a relative sense.

Maybe I should do this more often. Raditzu looked at his surroundings, idly, while broadcasting his thoughts for those in the immediate vicinity to ?hear?. This no pants thing is kind of liberating.

A loud explosion caught Rad?s attention. Though he knew what was going on, he looked over anyway. Bardock, who had already finished his transformation, seemed to be having fun making a mess of the building they had recently grown out of. Taking in a deep breath, Raditzu turned towards the main bulk of the building and released a massive beam of destruction. The blast cut a clean line through the building, eviscerating the metal, stone, concrete, and anything else that might have been in its way. A low, guttural booming echoed from Raditzu?s throat. To him it was just a light chuckle.

Hey, babe, can you hear me? Rad knew she could, though he thought it polite to ask. Could you see if you can find my armor? My pants should be somewhere down there, too.

The long-haired saiya-jin made a show of surveying the rubble around his ankle, as though he might actually be able to see the articles he had mentioned. While he had been surveying his surroundings, however, a sight caught his eye. A slow, shifting mass of grey and brown. It was slowly and steadily creeping forward, though Rad couldn?t quite make out what it was. He stared off into the distance while Bardock continued his rendition of a bull in a china shop. After a moment, and a long session of squinting, Rad could make it out. Zombies! This was fantastic!

Hey guys! Its zombies! Rad stretched a massive, furred arm in the direction of the lumbering mass.

Without waiting for an actual reply, the giant ape of a saiyan crouched low and tensed his legs. With a mighty leap, Rad was hurled through the air. The mass of armies was a bit bigger than he had expected, now that he could see it from the air, but that just meant more fun for the 80 foot tall primate. The asteroid shook as Raditzu?s massive bulk touched back on the ground. Unfortunately for them, several zombies happened to be occupying that ground. Oh well, live and learn. Rad began kicking his legs forward, sending zombies soaring through the air in what looked like some retarded version of a skank. Were he physically able to articulate it, the saiyan?s face would be lit up with child-like glee.
