Dragonball : Super Raditz

" It's great that you are here Raditz, but why didn't you contact us? We thought you died."

Asked Nappa, but his Oozaru form required Raditz to look up.

"Why didn't I contact you..well Nappa, you left your communication on, and I heard that I wasn't needed anymore."

"Isn't it Vegeta, the prince of all three Saiyan's? What good is a prince if he can't even keep his only remaining race."

Vegeta's intense glare and Nappa's scared shitless expression didn't shake Raditz at all.

Looking at Vegeta, Raditz continued.

"You Vegeta, you are thinking of killing me and Nappa after this aren't you..?"

Nappa looked very scared, he was cursing Raditz now, why was he antagonising Vegeta?!

"Raditz! Stop making a fool of yourself! Vegeta, he is just upset that you decided to not revive him immediately-"

*Siiiiiiii*

Nappa's cheek was cut abruptly from a thin energy beam shooting from Vegeta's hand.

And it wouldn't be his cheek if Nappa didn't move out of the way by instinct, when Nappa wanted to ask with disbelief what Vegeta was doing.

Vegeta spoke up, with his energy and rage in full throttle.

"Both of you.. both of you are absolute disgrace, none of you need to live."

"Raditz, you are right, I was planning to kill you and Nappa after I have my immortality, but I have decided against it."

Clenching his fist, Vegeta fired a purple energy wave towards the unsuspecting Nappa.

"I think I'll do it now! You both have long outlived your usefulness!"

"Vegeta...!"

"Noooo!!!"

Nappa Oozaru's eyes went wide as the attack was now upon him, his inherent fear of Vegeta and this unsuspecting attack caught him off guard.

So even as an Ooazru Nappa was about to perish in the hands of Vegeta.

'Dying at the hands of Vegeta like this.. this was not how I thought my Saiyan life would end.. pity.'

But the instant the purple blast was about to disintegrate his body, Raditz flashed before him, his hands stretched forward.

*Whoooooom*

He stopped the attack by swiftly catching the energy wave in his plam, with that the purple energy beam wasn't able to move even a single inch and only kept blinking in it's place.

And before Vegeta's and Nappa's shocked gazes, Raditz closed his fist, shrinking the energy ball until.

*Puff*

It puffed out of existence, not looking the least bit winded from taking that attack, Raditz gave Vegeta a disappointed look.

"What a nasty temper... You always think so greatly of yourself, a king, the best of the best, even when we were children you were like this."

"But Vegeta, to me you are no king, not even a good prince, always going on and on about Freeza, but look at you, only capable of showing strength by killing your own kind."

"Pathetic."

Shaking his head at the fuming Vegeta, Raditz sighed.

"You disappoint me Vegeta."

Hearing Raditz's disrespectful tone, Nappa was afraid, he wasn't able to understand how Raditz got so strong.

And now Raditz was denouncing Vegeta's throne, right after taking his attack head on, even after knowing what that means in Saiyan culture.

"Raditz.. why, you don't stand a chance against him."

"You can't defeat him.."

Asked Nappa, but he was no longer supporting Vegeta in his speech, Vegeta had lost the rights the moment he tried to kill him.

Because Nappa knew, Raditz might not have done such drastic things if he wasn't trying to save him.

'For you..? Naah man, just trying to talk some sense into Vegeta.. dosen't look like it's working though.'

'Dammit Goku, what's taking you so long, I cannot talk this prideful buffon out of his blind confidence.'

Seeing that Raditz kept mum at Nappa's question, Vegeta was the one who began speaking.

With rage overflowing from his body.

"You got a zenaki boost from surviving didn't you Raditz, and now you think you can take me on?? Laughable."

"Just because you have learnt this power level hiding trick doesn't mean you can confuse me, our scouters are useless against you."

No matter how prideful Vegeta was, he was still an elite, just like canon he quickly put two and two together and understood Raditz was hiding his strength.

Although he was wrong on his strength boost being a pure zenaki thing, he was right for the most part.

Nappa hearing that quickly regained hope, if Raditz can truly match Vegeta, they both might be able to take him down by teaming together.

"Raditz! Quickly look at the power ball! We have to take him now!"

Urged Nappa, who for the first time in his life, was going to take a stand against Vegeta for real.

But to Nappa's shock, Raditz shook his head.

"No need Nappa."

Raditz was trying to say no need for the Oozaru, he can take on Vegeta in base just fine.

But it came off as something else to Vegeta and Nappa.

'Wait a second, Raditz said he is disappointed in Vegeta as a prince, that he wasn't worthy.'

'And now he is trying to show that he is stronger than him all on his own..! Raditz you wouldn't! It's impossible!"

Widening his eyes, the stunned Nappa and frowning Vegeta reached the same conclusion.

Hair fluttering, fists clenched, Vegeta began laughing, he laughed loudly for an entire minute, his crazy laughter echoing in the battlefield.

"Hahahaha! Raditz..."

Looking at Raditz with sheer desire to kill, Vegeta said word by word.

"You low class filth, you think you can challenge me, the prince of all Saiyan's for the thorne!"

'Throne..?'

Thought Raditz, then he understood what they were on about, in Saiyan culture, if you wanted to be king you have to prove you were better than the previous king.

Both power and ability, this was something obvious given Saiyan's being a warrior race, and Raditz knew this from memory as well after coming here.

This was why canon Vegeta was so hell bent on being better than Goku, because the moment he lost to him, his prince status was in question according to Saiyan tradition.

This was the entire reason king Vegeta sent Broly away, because Broly would have been the undoubted king, he was the strongest and the legendary Saiyan of their tribe, who else was worthy of the title king if not Broly.

'But that was totally not my intention, I am already the king of earth, I didn't even think of becoming the prince or king of Saiyans too.'

'But now I can't back away either, that is the biggest disgrace to a Saiyan, to back away after initiating a royal duel.'

Letting out a breath, Raditz cracked his neck.

Looking at Vegeta who was waiting his answer, Raditz decided to get this done, maybe losing his status might get the guy to straighten up.
