>>5803490Focusing on your ki sense you seek out Raditz, the warrior's power surprisingly hidden. It takes you several seconds to find him, the younger man suppressing it substantially and hiding amongst several far weaker powerlevels. But you still manage to find him, locking onto his power and teleporting over to him. One instant you're there in your ship's medical, the next find yourself in...Another medical bay. This one's unfamiliar to you, several doctors looking over many infants inside the young birthing pods. But right in front of you is Raditz, leaning against a free wall with his arms crossed. He doesn't move as he senses your arrival, only opening his eyes.
“Raditz. We need to talk.” you say, the warrior's eyes narrowing as he stares at you. “You know something about what went down.”
“I know who is behind it.” he replies matter-of-factly, then sighing out. “But it doesn't matter. After today, it won't happen again.”
“The hell do you mean?” you ask him, feeling yourself growing a little angry at his refusal to help. “Whoever did this is still out there, and they'll strike again! Whatever information you have, I need it.”
“With all due respect, General Karn: fuck off.” he says, you feeling a brow raise at the sudden hostility. The entire room goes quiet, you feeling everyone's gazes on you both. “Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me anyways. So, just.... Just go away. You and your entire family just need to leave me the hell alone.”
Silence hangs in the air, the tension thick as you and the younger warrior stare each other down. You can see that he's adamant, that even if you tried to force him to tell you he wouldn't. So, instead of trying you simply take a deep breath, close your eyes and sigh out, taking a long, slow breath. Then, opening your eyes you speak again.
“Very well, I'll entrust this problem to you. However, should this happen again, should another fall to whoever or whatever caused that attack, it will be on your head.” you tell him, Raditz exhaling and nodding, feeling his entire body suddenly relax. He'd been one word away from going into his Super Saiyan 3 form, to fight you should he need to, but when you drop the issue he relaxes. “And I will show no mercy.”
“If another falls after today, I'll willingly tell you all I know. But, before you go, promise me one thing.” Raditz says, you feeling your brows go up again. “That if I tell you this, you won't tell another soul. Swear on your life.”
