I get beaten once, and suddenly everyone thinks I can't fight anymore. That I need everyone to PROTECT me! I don't NEED anyone protecting me, I can fight for myself! So, I'm leaving and not coming back home until I've proven to you, to Momma, to Broly an' future me, to Radii, everyone! I'm gonna prove that I'm strong!”
You then forcefully end the telepathic link, leaving you all alone. He doesn't try to re-establish the mental connection, or teleport directly to your side and throw you back to New Salda either. Instead he's leaving you completely alone. However, you no longer need to worry about hiding your escape or anything, so you bring up your scouter, and position it to record your message to Raditz. You take a deep breath, sigh out, then opening your eyes start talking to him.
“Sorry I couldn't tell you this in person, Radii, but as I'm sure you're already aware I've left New Salda behind.” you say, the weight of your decision to leave everyone behind really hitting you. But you can't show weakness or uncertainty, choking down on your emotions like a pro as you continue speaking without a waver in your voice. “But I know you all too well. You would have tried to stop me, then when that didn't work follow after me. But I have no intentions of coming back, this is something I have to do. Alone. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get that backstabber.”
You feel yourself getting a bit heated over remembering that bitch Tanya, so you force yourself to take another deep, relaxing breath before continuing.
“So don't wait up on me, okay? I'm not sure how long this is gonna take, so go enjoy yourself.” you tell him, forcing a smile to hide how you really feel about him. “I'll always treasure the great memories we made together, but I know you. I know you really want to start your own family, like both our dads have done, but that's not where my path leads me. At least, not anytime soon. So don't wait around for me to come back, go pursue your own dream Radii. I'm sure you'll find just the right someone who wants to be the mother of your kids. Good luck, Radii. I'll always be rooting for you.”
Finishing your farewell you end the recording, then with a few taps send the message to Raditz's own Dreadzone-issue scouter he'd been wearing. Once the message goes through, the scouter notifying you that it delivered, you crush the old communicator in one hand with a heavy heart. Grinding it to pieces in your grip, you let the pieces fall into the pod's floor as you take up the new scouter you'd acquired, preparing to get all of its' settings right. But just as you do, ANOTHER telepathic message starts coming through.
