It?s one thing to fuck with someone?s head? Raditzu looked around the top floor of the watchtower as his senses slowly returned to the real world. As soon as he had left that freakish nightmare, he knew it had just been in his head. He couldn?t remember the last time he had seen Lunch, and Kamikorro Daimaou was long dead. There was no way any of that could have been real.
?? but that was just cruel.? The saiyan finished his thought with a whisper.
People were already moving and talking. Most of it was nervous chatting, people ready to put behind them the fears they had seen. The long-haired warrior would have sworn he caught the odd glare from a couple of people present, but didn?t pay it any mind. What they had seen was their business, and if it involved him? well? at least they had pretty XTREME fears. Rad?s thoughts were interrupted as the angel ? ?Gabriel,? someone had called it ? spoke up.
"I suppose I have some explaining to do," the winged being began.
"Tch?I'll say.? Rad was less than thrilled about having been tossed into that disconcerting nightmare without warning. Gabriel nodded at the long-haired warrior?s comment.
"The Watchman, you could say, is a God. He's not a Kai, he holds no real power or authority. He, however, is a being beyond human, saiyan, android, or anybody here. He is all powerful. He is the only one of his race, and will always be."
"I don't see what this has to do with the matter at hand," Vegeta spoke up.
"The Watchman was the one that sent you into your dream states. All of you faces your biggest fears. As you can see, some faced them better then others. I was the one that scared Kao away."
Things were just getting better every second. Instead of being under the care of nice old man, they were being strung along by some all-powerful prick with a penchant for screwing with people?s heads. That was much better. Though, the sight of Bra all snuggled up to Vegeta was more than enough to make Rad snicker. Someone asked a question while Rad was musing.
"Friend or Foe is ruined. The project is done. Brim is gone. However, more pressing matters then Kao are at hand. Satan's minions roam the asteroid. They fear to come here, knowing they will lose."
"So why don't we just find them, and end it?" A valid question from the short-tempered princess.
"I don't want to put the angels at any unnessecary risk. You must find them."
The angel kept talking, but it was beyond Raditzu. Did he just hear this ?Gabriel? correctly? This was even more ludicrous than Stumpy?s little game show. A couple of women walked into the room, but Rad didn?t care. This big-shot with wings was not only keeping his little ?angels? safe in this watchtower, but he was telling everyone else to go do his dirty work. It hadn?t even been a request. He had flat out told them what they were going to do. Were it not for the sight of 18, huddled on the ground, Rad would have given the ?angels? a piece of his mind. But, right now, she came first.
?? babe?? Rad crouched next to the android. She responded by looking away from the saiyan. Not a good sign. He reached out to her, hoping to reassure the distraught android, but she recoiled. ?What?s wrong??
Seemingly without warning, Eighteen leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him. ?I?m fine? I?m just fine.? After a moment she got to her feet. ?I have no idea where we should go, though; all I heard was that there are demons now.?
Raditzu was taken slightly aback. He hadn?t even really considered hunting the demons. More likely than not, Eighteen was just trying to change the subject? divert Rad?s attention. If that?s what she wanted, then he would happily oblige. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like pounding on some zombies would be a good stress reliever.
?Are you going to join them???
Her eyes darted towards Bra and Cell, but Rad wasn?t sure what she was talking about. He turned his head to the duo and listened in on their conversation. Sounded like they were headed towards the hospital. Rad had no desire to follow them, or go check out that creepy place. He turned his head back to Eighteen and opened his mouth to speak, but she cut him off.
?What do you think? I heard there is a town, and also a forest. I for one wouldn?t mind exploring while kicking some demon ass. Do you think the hospital has more to offer??
Her face was lit up with a bright smile, but the change in demeanor was nothing short of outstanding. Rad searched her eyes as she spoke, trying to see something, figure out what was bothering her, but she would have none of that. Whatever she was thinking, she was making a point of hiding it. That was fine with him, so long as she didn?t dwell on it. He wanted her to be truly happy, but right now it seemed like he could just roll with the punches.
?Well? I doubt it.? Raditzu answered her question. ?Just between you and me, I?ve never been a big fan of hospitals. I hate getting shots.?
Eighteen giggled lightly, though Rad was unsure if it was just for show. He brushed it aside and pulled out his map as he continued to speak.
?If there?s a town somewhere -- ah, here it is -- that sounds like a pretty good spot to go demon hunting.?
?Fine with me.?
The two of them walked onto the outer deck of the watchtower, hand-in-hand and surveyed the scene. From their height, it was difficult to make out anything below them. Rad studied the map, then looked down to the terrain, then studied the map once more. Having gotten his bearings, the saiya-jin slipped his hand out of the androidess? and folded the map back up. The two warrior?s leapt from the watchtower and took off in the direction of the town. Rad floated along at a fairly steady pace, not wanting to leave Eighteen behind. After what seemed like forever, Rad cleared his throat and looked over to his compainion.
?Look? Eighteen,? he began, ?I don?t know what you saw back there, in your? uh? dream, I guess you could call it, but I?m here for you. If you ever need me, I?ll be there. Just? uh? remember that, ok?? The saiyan?s face had reddened slightly as he spoke, but it didn?t matter. It was the truth and he wanted her to know it. ?Anyway, why don?t we pick up the pace a bit, eh??
OOC: 18 and Rad headed to the town.
