Dragonball : Super Raditz

Satan was sweating waterfalls and simultaneously shaking in his boots, he was hardly able to sit still.

" It's horrible, he is that guy, that guy with the weird hair! "

Raditz looked at Satan who was still making fun of the unconscious Mercenary Tao's hairstyle.

This was something that almost got him killed a while back, and his master really did die because of this, Satan has some truly big balls to say this again.

" Be careful Satan, you know this guy isn't really unconscious, majority of his head is cybernetic, he can't be knocked out. "

As if on cue, Mercenary Tao's eyes snapped open and he glared at Satan, his act was obviously seen through.

Looking towards Satan's family, Tao's desire to end them infront of Satan increased manifolds.

' This guy is the reason I am in such deep trouble, I should have finished the job back then! '

* Bam *

Hitting Tao's head with a punch, Raditz made him collapse into a heap of sparking parts.

Looking at the shocked Mercenary Tao, Raditz frowned.

" Don't go thinking wild things about this family, they work for me, do you understand mercenary? "

* Bzzt *

Nodding his head with a sparking neck, Tao bent his head and hid his angry face, he was a martial artist, he will not be humiliated like this!

He was so pissed off right now he could blow himself up, he should still have that module installed..!

Raditz meanwhile was wondering what to do with this guy, he wanted to give him to Satan, so Satan can end his enmity with him.

' But looking at Satan, he doesn't seem to want to do anything at all, he infact wants to run away quickly, shame really, I would have helped my manager out. '

Shaking his head, Raditz removed the disappointment bubbling up within him, he can't expect everyone to have the courage of a Saiyan.

" Alright I'll get rid of- "

" Die! Goku! "

Tao pai pai had enough, he was done, he wasn't about to fall into the hands of another Goku, this time around he would take him down with him.

He was Mercenary Tao, an assassin with his own twisted pride, he will always have the last word, no matter the means.

* Booooooom *

A massive blast shook the Satan manor, fire poured out of the windows and doors were blasted open.

* Whoooosh *

A large flame lit the garden surrounding Satan manor, the self destruction of a martial arts master with a power level of 210 was immense.

The situation was grim, but if anyone was to really look into it, they would find something weird.

The Satan manor was still standing, with no damage in sight, except the burning garden outside.

* Cough *

" Ahem, like I was saying I'll get rid of his remains, you guys handle the cleaning. "

All of the Satan family and Scale looked at Raditz with terrified and confused expressions, well, except Launch, who seemed oblivious to anything but Raditz's tail.

" Boss- We we could have died! You saved us boss! How did you do it?! There isn't a burn mark around?!? "

Videl who was held in her mother's hands out of fear, also exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

" Yeah uncle Raditz! I saw a lot of fire rushing towards me, but then it wasn't hot! You are so cool! "

Raditz humped at that, looking at cyborg Tao doing his best Yamcha impression, he spat.

" I could sense it the moment this guy initiated self destruct, his power spike was pretty large, so I covered this entire place in psychic barrier. "

Nothing this weak can penetrate Raditz's barrier, unless it's a concentrated attack like special beam canon.

If Tao went for his super dodon ray using all his energy behind the attack, Raditz might need to dodge, but nothing else would work on him.

" This is horrible, is he, is he dead?? "

The trembling Satan asked with a scared expression, Raditz meanwhile pondered on this while looking at the corpse of Mercenary Tao.

" He was too hasty, I would have let him go with a warning if he behaved himself, but it seems his hatred for brother was a bit too much. "

While Raditz didn't have any desire to kill him, he wasn't about to wish Tao back with the Dragonballs or something either.

Shrugging his shoulders, Raditz decided to pick up the smoldering Tao on his shoulder.

" While this guy is pretty evil, his skills are worthy of praise, wasn't he half cyborg? Let's make a full cyborg out of him, Bulma should get enough inspiration from android 8's design. "

Deciding to create an android 16 of his own, Raditz put another tick on his list, but that was for later, he had more important things right now.

Looking towards Launch who was still in a world of her own, Raditz twitched his lips.

" Launch right? I saw your photo in master Roshi's magazine- his photo frame, you said you were lost? "

Looking up at Raditz, Lauch clapped her hands and gave a big smile.

" Yes! Can you take me back? That would be lovely! "

Hearing her talk, Scale wasn't able to connect this ditzy woman with the insane blonde  who was gunning down the Mercenary.

' How did she live until now with an attitude like this. '

Scale couldn't figure this out for the life of him, so he stopped caring about it altogether, he had his own problems to worry about.

Like healing this hole in his neck and getting his pay from Raditz, he did after all find Tao.

" Yes, Satan, Pay Scale for his work, and Scale leave your phone number, I'll contact you when I want something done. "

Giving a smile after his pay was set, Scale saluted Raditz and spoke with vigor.

" Yes boss, I am always ready! Just let me handle everything, all you have to do is ask! "

" Good, I'll remember that, we should get going too. "

Coiling his tail around Launch Raditz held onto her shoulder for additional support, after putting Tao pai pai on the opposite shoulder he blasted off.

* Whooosh *

Looking at Raditz flying away, Miguel finally brought her attention back to the manor.

" Honey, we should call someone, our garden is on fire. "

" Oh no! I'll call right away! "

Satan ran to call the firefighters and Miguel took Videl to her room.

Scale just kind of sat there, wondering if these people were going to forget his pay after all.
