Chapter 25: Knockout
Raditz was pretty pissed and currently speeding through the city, he was feeling his given energy flickering restlessly.
" It's either Scale doing a stupid stunt and getting wreaked or Tao pai pai got to him, talk about ruining a perfectly good night. "
* Foooosh *
Speeding up, Raditz rushed towards Scale's energy signature as fast as he could.
Meanwhile Scale was panting as he kept his finger pointed towards mercenary Tao, his finger was smoking and so was the gun of the blonde named launch.
Tao was looking at scale with a hideous expression, he was badly hurt from the energy beam impacting him out of nowhere.
" You bastard! What did you do?! "
Fumed Tao pai pai, he didn't understand, how could that energy beam hurt him so much, he was badly burnt even after blocking it.
It even overpowered his super dodon ray, this situation was looking more and more dicy by the second.
' I might need to run, that blonde girl while not a threat is too much of a menace, and this man is plain weird. '
Narrowing his eyes, mercenary tao decided to book it, acting like he was about to attack he quickly took out a smoke bomb and then
* Boom *
" What the- Hey get back * cough cough * "
Launch was about to chase but the smoke got into her lungs and Tao Pai Pai was already out of her vision.
" Don't- Don't chase, you can't- take him alone. "
" Damn! Don't give me that shit! I- Accho! "
* Poof *
" Oh my, what's with all this smoke..? "
Looking at the dazed blue haired girl standing in place of the violent blonde, Scale's eyes widened, he was wondering if he had lost too much blood and was seeing things.
" Oh Mr! Why are you lying on the ground..? Why am I holding a this thing..? What is it I wonder.. "
The blue haired launch tilted her head cutely as she attempted to remember why she was here again.
And Scale was feeling pretty desperate, his only backup was out and if that assassin worked anything like he did, he was still around somewhere, looking for a chance to strike.
' What is this?! A trap? '
And Scale was indeed right on Mark because Tao pai pai was hiding on a roof watching them, waiting for them to drop their guard.
And he had seen enough to know this rag tag group might actually be a lost cause as long as he strikes hard.
' I should get close, donon ray has failed too many times today, I'll use these hands to finish them off. '
Jumping from the roof of the building Mercenary Tao landed right infront of the duo.
He was looking at them with angry eyes, but in reality he was trying to check for traps.
Scale seeing blue haired launch looking at Mercenary Tao with curious eyes realised she wasn't kidding, he might have to take do something himself.
* Zooom *
" Oh no you don't! "
As soon as Tao pai pai saw scale attempting his weirdly harmful attack again, he struck.
* Boom! *
And the attack did indeed land, but it wasn't Scale's head getting bashed as Tao pai pai had hoped, it was his own fist hitting a rock hard chest, almost crushing his bones.
Tao pai pai was about to look up and see who stood towering before him, but something else caught his eye, something brown and long.
" Ta-tail! A monkey tail! Goku!"
Eyes popping open, Tao pai pai screamed with fear as he attempted to back away.
* Clench *
But was stopped right in his tracks, because this hunk of a man held his hands with grip stronger than his cyborg body can muster.
" Goku, I will never forget you, what are you doing here! Are you hear for my life! "
Mercenary Tao looked up and saw the strong man with long spiky hair looking down at him, he attempted to get free from the man's grip but was completely stuck.
Raditz meanwhile looked at Scale and nodded at him.
" Good job, now rest, I'll deal with this. "
" Thanks.. boss.. "
Scale dragged himself away even after saying that, because he wasn't sure if Raditz could win without trouble.
As far as he was concerned, both of these guys were complete monsters.
* Clench *
Grabbing the metallic arm tighter, Raditz ignored the sparks flying off the arm and looked at Tao Pai Pai with interest.
" Oh, Goku? I didn't know you knew my brother, but I am not him, I am Raditz, his older brother and his better. "
Tao pai pai was both relaxed with this not being Goku and also not, because this man was supposedly better than Goku.
At least he was definitely better than him, so it made no difference to him.
" Is it you who asked your man to follow me? What is it you need? Doesn't matter who you want killed, I'll do it. "
Tao pai pai put his chips out, realising he might have to talk his way out of this.
As for if he will really do what he said, that was up to him completely.
But it seems Goku's brother wasn't as naive as Goku was.
" I have what I want right here Mercenary, you killed the master of my manager a while back, he has some business with you, sleep for now. "
* bam *
Hitting Tao's neck with a quick chop Raditz carried his limp body on his shoulder, then turned to look at the blue haired girl standing in a daze, looking at his tail.
" That's impolite miss, my eyes are up here. "
Putting his hand on his waist Raditz turned to launch, who looked up with a smile.
" Oh sorry Mr, You reminded me of my friend, he also had a tail like this, but I don't know where to find him, I am lost.. "
Meanwhile Raditz was wondering how she missed the entire conversation he had just now, where he purposely let everyone know he was Goku's brother.
Talk about an airhead, whatever, now that he has found launch, he will take her back to kame house, not knowing how to get back might be why she didn't return.
